description: In this work, we propose a powerful probe of neutrino effects on the large-scale structure (LSS) of the Universe, i.e., Minkowski functionals (MFs). The morphology of LSS can be fully described by four MFs. This tool, with strong statistical power, is robust to various systematics and can comprehensively probe all orders of N-point statistics. By using a pair of high-resolution N-body simulations, for the first time, we comprehensively studied the subtle neutrino effects on the morphology of LSS. For an ideal LSS survey of volume $\sim1.73$ Gpc$^3$/$h^3$, neutrino signals are mainly detected from void regions with a significant level up to $\thicksim 10σ$ and $\thicksim 300σ$ for CDM and total matter density fields, respectively. This demonstrates its enormous potential for much improving the neutrino mass constraint in the data analysis of up-coming ambitious LSS surveys.

description: Much has been written in recent years concerning the current state of affairs which has engulfed the world order. A number of notable theories have been espoused in an attempt to defuse the situation. In all this endeavour the Islamic theoretical perspective was never examined in an attempt to demonstrate its practical alternative to resolve the crisis. This thesis highlights the Islamic alternative proposition in dealing with the important issues prevalent in the world today, namely, institutionalized violence, crippling poverty, societal repression and environmental degradation. The thesis, therefore, outlines a formula which provides an examination of the actual and potential relevance of Islamic law, (Shariah), values and concepts as related to these issues. It utilizes the methodology which combines the four-value system of the global reform as enunciated and identified by the World Order Models Project (W.O.M.P.) as: peacefulness, economic equity, social and political dignity and ecological balance with the work of Z. Sardar's Warrd system. Each of the four values is given an in depth analysis in a separate chapter. The main findings of this thesis include the following main features: (1) Islamic public order is deeply rooted in the Shariah and is regulated by its law and at the same time, guided by its past centuries of experiences. (2) World order in Islam provides a collective value system for the community and thus prescribes a cooperative order. (3) The concept of Community (Ummah) is probably the single most important and influential concept within the lexicon of Islamic thought. (4) The major and significant roles that the scholars, philosophers, and jurists have played in the development of Islamic thought, i.e., within the realm of social, economic, ecological as well as political knowledge and disciplines. (5) The variety and entire spectrum of legal thought inculcated within Islamic law have been, fundamentally, the basis for the legal schools claim to a universal application of an alternative paradigm. Finally, the thesis reassesses the contribution of the Islamic order; its basic foundations and values to the emerging world order, with the objective of stimulating further research in Islamic and world order studies.

description: This study sought to compare the achievement levels of twelfth-grade Jordanian students with the achievement levels of twelfth-grade U.S. students on the AIME, SAT-M, and AHSME. This study also sought to compare the achievement levels of twelfth-grade Jordanian students with the achievement levels of twelfth-grade Canadian students on the CMCEC. The study tested the following hypothesis: There is no significant difference between the mathematics achievement levels of three different groups of Jordanian students, high-achiever Scientific, average Scientific, and Humanistic, compared American and Canadian students. Four null hypotheses were tested on these three comparable groups, which were chosen from the Humanistic and Scientific Schools of Irbid City. In addition, comparisons were conducted among the groups of Jordanian students and in regard to male-female achievement levels in mathematics. It was established by statistical analysis that the twelfth-grade U.S. students scored higher than the twelfth-grade Jordanian students on the AIME, SAT-M, and AHSME. The results also indicated that the twelfth-grade average Scientific Jordanian students scored higher than the twelfth-grade Canadian students on the CMCEC. In all instances, Jordanian males scored higher than Jordanian females, with two exceptions: (1) The high-achiever females scored higher than the high-achiever males on the AIME, and (2) The Humanistic females scored higher than the Humanistic males on the SAT-M. As a result of these findings, a review of the literature, and field observations, specific recommendations were made in regard to the generalized development of Jordanian curricula, textbooks, and training programs, and in regard to the specific refinement and modification of the twelfth-grade curriculum. It was further recommended that similar studies at other grade levels be conducted.

description: A series of (alpha)-(beta)-amino alcohols, structurally similar to ephedrine, were condensed with a variety of aromatic aldehydes. The results were the diasteriomeric rigid five-membered rings whose configuration has been determined by proton magnetic resonance and single-crystal x-ray diffraction. The results of the condensation of primary (alpha)-(beta)-amino alcohols with aldehydes were Schiff bases. Because of the inability of the chiral stationary phases (CSPs) to resolve Schiff bases, this group of compounds was condensed with phosgene to give the oxazolidones. The reaction of norephedrine and phosgene produces a rigid oxazolidone ring system. The cyclization proceeds without racemization. Chromatography of the enantiomeric oxazolidones on the CSP produced two prominent peaks with (alpha) = 1.04 and R(,s) of 0.96. Oxazolidines were also resolved on four different commercially available Pirkle-type HPLC chiral stationary phases using ionic and covalent bonds of the R-N(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-phenylglycine or S-N(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)leucine as the CSPs. The oxazolidines derived from the condensation of ephedrine and aldehydes containing a (pi)-basic moiety, such as naphthaldehyde, were resolved as were those oxazolidines synthesized by using a (pi)-acid aldehyde such as P-nitrobenzaldehyde. Oxazolidines resulting from condensation of ephedrine and a (pi)-neutral aldehyde such as benzaldehyde and 4-bromobenzaldehyde were not resolved. The observed elution order varied with the identity of the introduced aryl group and was independent of the nature (ionic or covalent) of chiral stationary phases to stationary support, and was consistent but inverted when S-leucine analogue was substituted for R-phenylglycine CSP. The result of this study suggest a chiral recognition model based on the formation of diastereomeric solute-CSP complexes through a single attractive interaction and chiral discrimination resulting from the difference in steric fit.

description: A substantial fraction of disk galaxies is double-barred. We analyze the dynamical stability of such nested bar systems by means of Liapunov exponents,by fixing a generic model and varying the inner (secondary) bar mass. We show that there exists a critical mass below which the secondary bar cannot sustain its own orbital structure, and above which it progressively destroys the outer (primary) bar-supporting orbits. In this critical state, a large fraction of the trajectories (regular and chaotic) are aligned with either bar, suggesting the plausibility of long-lived dynamical states when secondary-to-primary bar mass ratio is of the order of a few percent. Qualitatively similar results are obtained by varying the size of the secondary bar, within certain limits, while keeping its mass constant. In both cases, an important role appears to be played by chaotic trajectories which are trapped around (especially) the primary bar for long periods of time.

description: We investigate the role of settlement in a dynamic model of a payment system where the ability of participants to perform certain welfare-improving transactions is subject to random and unobservable shocks. In the absence of settlement, the full information first-best allocation cannot be supported due to incentive constraints. In contrast, this allocation is supportable if settlement is introduced. This, however, requires that settlement takes place with a sufficiently high frequency.

THE ROLE OF AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTIONS IN U.S. DEVELOPMENT: TOWARD AN ECONOMICS OF THE FAMILY FARM (AGRARIAN, MECHANIZATION)
Creators: name: Headlee, Sue Eleanor
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation analyzes the important role of agricultural institutions in the tremendous agricultural expansion and concurrent industrialization in the U.S. in the nineteenth century. It investigates the causes of the adoption of the reaper in the American midwest in the 1850s, attempting to explain the market responsiveness of family farm institutions and their overwhelming dependence on family labor. The view of the family farm developed in the dissertation is an alternative to the neo-classical economic theory of the profit-maximizing farm. Using logit analysis to analyze data from two subsamples from the federal census manuscripts for 1860, I develop measures of the economic, institutional, and resource characteristics of the family farm system in the Old Northwest at mid-nineteenth century, including measures of the equality of land distribution and ownership characteristics. The results of the logit analysis support the hypothesis that risk averse utility-maximizing family farms rationally adopted the reaper in the 1850s at output levels lower than profit maximizing would have dictated. Because farm ownership was a major goal, farmers sought a level of output that could be maintained by the family alone and that could be sustained with minimal cash outlays in economic downturns. The logit analysis together with statistical and institutional analysis of the agricultural system as a whole in the Old Northwest support the general conclusion that the family farm system was a favorable initial condition that was crucial for the adoption of farm machinery. It resulted in a relatively equal distribution of abundant land which generated many farmers with a sufficient surplus and incentive to purchase capital goods.

description: Objectives: This scoping review aims to broadly identify how overeating is defined and employed in real-world experimental and observational settings, as well as how overeating correlates to health outcomes. Specifically, we will review studies done in adult human populations. We will answer the following questions: How is overeating conceptually defined? (ex. overconsumption of calories vs. macronutrients, timing/skipping of meals, association with emotional or mental health state, etc.) What thresholds define overeating? (ex. number of calories/calories from a specific macronutrient, specific number of meals exceeded, definition of snacking, specific emotional or mental health factors etc.) What, if any, evidence exists that certain thresholds are more/less valid? What tools are used to measure eating/overeating? (self-reported vs researcher-guided recall, sensor data, food diary/data entry etc.) How does overeating in the real world correlate to health outcomes?

description: minimal-lagrangians is a Python program which allows one to specify the field content of an extension of the Standard Model of particle physics and, using this information, to generate the most general renormalizable Lagrangian that describes such a model. As the program was originally created for the study of minimal dark matter models with radiative neutrino masses, it can handle additional scalar or Weyl fermion fields which are $\mathrm{SU}(3)_{\mathrm{C}}$ singlets, $\mathrm{SU}(2)_{\mathrm{L}}$ singlets, doublets or triplets, and can have arbitrary $\mathrm{U}(1)_{\mathrm{Y}}$ hypercharge. It is also possible to enforce an arbitrary number of global $\mathrm{U}(1)$ symmetries (with $\mathbb{Z}_2$ as a special case) so that the new fields can additionally carry such global charges. In addition to human-readable and $\mathrm{\LaTeX}$ output, the program can generate SARAH model files containing the computed Lagrangian, as well as information about the fields after electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB), such as vacuum expectation values (VEVs) and mixing matrices. This capability allows further detailed investigation of the model in question, with minimal-lagrangians as the first component in a tool chain for rapid phenomenological studies of "minimal" dark matter models requiring little effort and no unnecessary input from the user.

description: Resampling methods such as the bootstrap are routinely used to esti- mate the ¯nite-sample null distributions of a range of test statistics. We present a simple and tractable way to perform classical hypothesis tests based upon a kernel estimate of the CDF of the bootstrap statistics. This approach has a number of appealing features: i) it can perform well when the number of bootstraps is ex- tremely small, ii) it is approximately exact, and iii) it can yield substantial power gains relative to the conventional approach. The proposed approach is likely to be useful when the statistic being bootstrapped is computationally expensive.

Two-Hadron-Irreducible QCD Sum Rule for Pentaquark Baryon

description: We point out that naive pentaquark correlations function include two-hadron-reducible contributions, which are given by convolution of baryon and meson correlation functions and have nothing to do with pentaquark. We show that the two-hadron-reducible contributions are large in the operator product expansion of the correlation functions of three existing works on the pentaquark. Therefore, it is dangerous to draw a conclusion from the sum rules using naive pentaquark correlation functions with naive ansatz for the spectral function under the dispersion integral. Instead, we propose to use the two-hadron-irreducible correlation function, which is obtained by subtracting the two-hadron-reducible contribution from the naive correlation function. Taking one of the works as an example we demonstrate how drastically the results can change if we remove the two-hadron-reducible part from the naive correlation function. We obtain the result opposite to the original work for the parity of the pentaquark.

Decomposability and co-modular indices of tournaments
Creators: name: Belkhechine, Houmem
name: Salha, Cherifa Ben
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Given a tournament $T$, a module of $T$ is a subset $X$ of $V(T)$ such that for $x, y\in X$ and $v\in V(T)\setminus X$, $(x,v)\in A(T)$ if and only if $(y,v)\in A(T)$. The trivial modules of $T$ are $\emptyset$, $\{u\}$ $(u\in V(T))$ and $V(T)$. The tournament $T$ is indecomposable if all its modules are trivial; otherwise it is decomposable. The decomposability index of $T$, denoted by $δ(T)$, is the smallest number of arcs of $T$ that must be reversed to make $T$ indecomposable. The first author conjectured that for $n \geq 5$, we have $δ(n) = \left\lceil \frac{n+1}{4} \right\rceil$, where $δ(n)$ is the maximum of $δ(T)$ over the tournaments $T$ with $n$ vertices. In this paper we prove this conjecture by introducing the co-modular index of a tournament $T$, denoted by $Δ(T)$, as the largest number of disjoint co-modules of $T$, where a co-module of $T$ is a subset $M$ of $V(T)$ such that $M$ or $V(T) \setminus M$ is a nontrivial module of $T$. We prove that for $n \geq 3$, we have $Δ(n) = \left\lceil \frac{n+1}{2} \right\rceil$, where $Δ(n)$ is the maximum of $Δ(T)$ over the tournaments $T$ with $n$ vertices. Our main result is the following close relationship between the above two indices: for every tournament $T$ with at least $5$ vertices, we have $δ(T) = \left\lceil \frac{Δ(T)}{2} \right\rceil$. As a consequence, we obtain $δ(n) = \left\lceil \frac{Δ(n)}{2} \right\rceil = \left\lceil \frac{n+1}{4} \right\rceil$ for $n \geq 5$, and we answer some further related questions.

Cartan's method is used for finding the Maurer - Cartan forms for symmetry groups of equations from the class and computing structure equations and complete sets of differential invariants for these groups. The solution of the equivalence problem is formulated in terms of these differential invariants.

description: Anxiety Management Training (AMT) is a coping-skills training program by which people are taught how to manage their anxiety by conditioning competing responses (muscle relaxation, visualization) to the anxiety response itself. Since the treatment is not dependent on the external cues for anxiety, it has been an effective treatment for a wide range of anxieties and, theoretically, should generalize to prevent future anxiety. Virtually no studies have examined AMT's preventive effects. This study examined the effects of AMT when given over 4 weeks to a group of people before they underwent a stressful experience of extended duration. AMT was given to a group of students working on a university-based crisis intervention hotline, at the very beginning of their hotline training and telephone work. The effects of AMT in minimizing job stress and reducing levels of self-reported state anxiety specific to stressful hotline situations and in decreasing trait anxiety were studied. Additionally, performance measures (grades) and staff ratings of hotliners' anxiety during training and on shift were obtained. AMT's effects were compared to a credible attention placebo group and to a no-treatment control group. Treatment effects were minimal: AMT and placebo group subjects both showed reductions in state anxiety sooner in the semester and scored lower on the Depersonalization subscale of the Maslach Burnout Inventory than did control group subjects. Students in general, regardless of group, showed consistent reductions on behavioral and self-report indicators of anxiety (intensity and interference of anxious symptoms and trait anxiety). Students in general also improved their hotline performance. The influence of treatment and placebo factors was examined to account for the similar changes noted in the AMT and placebo groups. The changes that occurred for all three hotline groups were explored in light of Bandura's self-efficacy theory and Meichenbaum's stress inoculation model as they might relate to the hotline experience itself. The role of support systems in reducing anxiety was also addressed.

description: A floorplan is a tiling of a rectangle by rectangles. There are natural ways to order the elements---rectangles and segments---of a floorplan. Ackerman, Barequet and Pinter studied a pair of orders induced by neighborhood relations between rectangles, and obtained a natural bijection between these pairs and (2-41-3, 3-14-2)-avoiding permutations, also known as (reduced) Baxter permutations. In the present paper, we first perform a similar study for a pair of orders induced by neighborhood relations between segments of a floorplan. We obtain a natural bijection between these pairs and another family of permutations, namely (2-14-3, 3-41-2)-avoiding permutations. Then, we investigate relations between the two kinds of pairs of orders---and, correspondingly, between (2-41-3, 3-14-2)- and (2-14-3, 3-41-2)-avoiding permutations. In particular, we prove that the superposition of both permutations gives a complete Baxter permutation (originally called w-admissible, by Baxter and Joichi in the sixties). In other words, (2-14-3, 3-41-2)-avoiding permutations are the hidden part of complete Baxter permutations. We enumerate these permutations. To our knowledge, the characterization of these permutations in terms of forbidden patterns and their enumeration are both new results. Finally, we also study the special case of the so-called guillotine floorplans.
Upper critical field in ferromagnetic metals with triplet pairing

description: The theory of triplet superconductivity in ferromagnetic metals based on electron-electron interaction by spin fluctuation exchange is developed. The equations for the upper critical field temperature dependence are derived. In contrast to the similar equations for the superconductivity in two band metals they contain the pairing amplitudes and the Fermi velocities depending on magnetic field. The critical field behaviour near the critical temperature and at T = 0 is established analytically.

description: Two integral structures on the Q-vector space of modular forms of weight two on X_0(N) are compared at primes p exactly dividing N. When p=2 and N is divisible by a prime that is 3 mod 4, this comparison leads to an algorithm for computing the space of weight one forms mod 2 on X_0(N/2). For p arbitrary and N>4 prime to p, a way to compute the Hecke algebra of mod p modular forms of weight one on Gamma_1(N) is presented, using forms of weight p, and, for p=2, parabolic group cohomology with mod 2 coefficients. Appendix A is a letter from Mestre to Serre, of October 1987, where he reports on computations of weight one forms mod 2 of prime level. Appendix B reports on an implementation for p=2 in Magma, using Stein's modular symbols package, with which Mestre's computations are redone and slightly extended.

Laws, Symmetries, and Reality

description: It is argued that quantum mechanics follows naturally from the assumptions that there are no fundamental causal laws but only probabilities for physical processes that are constrained by symmetries, and reality is relational in the sense that an object is real only in relation to another object that it is interacting with. The first assumption makes it natural to include in the action for a gauge theory all terms that are allowed by the symmetries, enabling cancellation of infinities, with only the terms in the standard model observable at the energies at which we presently do our experiments. In this approach, it is also natural to have an infinite number of fundamental interactions.

description: The purpose of this paper is to understand the current level of interculturalism within the UBC varsity community and to outline recommendations based on our findings. Last year’s project and current literature were reviewed to determine the direction of this project. Thirteen international varsity-athletes were chosen for informal questioning based on personal relationships, and of these thirteen individuals, ten provided responses to our seven pre-determined questions. The three main outcomes were: (1) the majority of participants felt that they were able to contribute to their team culture in a meaningful way and did not feel that they had to abandon any of their traditional identities (2) participants disagreed about whether the UBC Athletics Department sufficiently promotes intercultural values, diversity and inclusivity (3) the majority of participants felt that diversity was celebrated within their teams but still felt that more could be done and provided suggestions based on personal beliefs. Based on these findings, we argued that there is currently a low level of interculturalism within the UBC athletic community. As such, we identified three recommendations to promote interculturalism: (1) to establish periodic discussions with the Thunderbird Athletic Council Team Representatives about the importance of interculturalism (2) to work with UBC’s Athletic Department to provide more opportunities for interaction between international varsity-athletes, beginning with the Athlete Orientation (3) to connect with UBC’s Jump Start Program to discuss opportunities specifically for international student-athletes. The most significant limitation to this paper was time. Our objectives are to implement these recommendations and enhance the university experience for all student-athletes. Unfortunately, we were unable to connect with as many international varsity-athletes as we wanted, or with coaches and administration. Further projects need to be conducted to fill these gaps and to capture a better understanding of the level of interculturalism within the UBC Athletic community.
