description: We investigate the quality (Q) factor and the mode dispersion of single-defect nanocavities based on a triangular-lattice GaAs photonic-crystal (PC) membrane, which contain InAs quantum dots (QDs) as a broadband emitter. To obtain a high Q factor for the dipole mode, we modulate the radii and positions of the air holes surrounding the nanocavity while keeping six-fold symmetry. A maximum Q of 17,000 is experimentally demonstrated with a mode volume of V=0.39(lambda/n)^3. We obtain a Q/V of 44,000(n/lambda)^3, one of the highest values ever reported with QD-embedded PC nanocavities. We also observe ten cavity modes within the first photonic bandgap for the modulated structure. Their dispersion and polarization properties agree well with the numerical results.

description: We present a new class of models that stabilize the weak scale against radiative corrections up to scales of order 5 TeV without large corrections to precision electroweak observables. In these `folded supersymmetric' theories the one loop quadratic divergences of the Standard Model Higgs field are cancelled by opposite spin partners, but the gauge quantum numbers of these new particles are in general different from those of the conventional superpartners. This class of models is built around the correspondence that exists in the large N limit between the correlation functions of supersymmetric theories and those of their non-supersymmetric orbifold daughters. By identifying the mechanism which underlies the cancellation of one loop quadratic divergences in these theories, we are able to construct simple extensions of the Standard Model which are radiatively stable at one loop. Ultraviolet completions of these theories can be obtained by imposing suitable boundary conditions on an appropriate supersymmetric higher dimensional theory compactified down to four dimensions. We construct a specific model based on these ideas which stabilizes the weak scale up to about 20 TeV and where the states which cancel the top loop are scalars not charged under Standard Model color. Its collider signatures are distinct from conventional supersymmetric theories and include characteristic events with hard leptons and missing energy.

The role of glycosaminoglycans in binding of herpes simplex virus type 1 to mammalian cells
Creators: name: Leduc, Yves
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Binding of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) to the cell surfaces initially requires interactions between viral glycoproteins embedded in the viral envelope and cell surface glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). In this work, mutant cells derived from Ltk⁻ murine fibroblasts and devoid of the cell surface GAG heparan sulfate (HS) (gro2C cells) or HS and chondroitin sulfate (CS) (sog9 cells) were used to study the importance of these GAGs in HSV-1 binding. HSV-1 plaque formation and binding, as assessed by the use of radiolabeled virions, were reduced by approximately 85% with gro2C cells relative to parental L cells. This indicated that cell surface HS is important but not essential for HSV-1 binding. Addition of soluble forms of HS and, to a lesser extent, CS types A, B (both 4-sulfated), and C (6- sulfated) blocked adsorption of HSV-1 to gro2C cells and thereby inhibited plaque formation in a GAG concentration dependent manner. The high efficiency by which HS inhibited HSV-1 plaquing on gro2C cells relative to L cells indicated that HSV-1 binding to gro2C cells was "weaker" than to L cells. The inhibitory effect of CS type B on HSV-1 plaquing to gro2C cells showed that HSV-1 can interact with CS, albeit less efficiently than with HS, and suggested that HSV-1 binding to gro2C cells might involve cell surface CS. Further indications for the role of cell surface CS in HSV-1 binding came from the use of the gro2C derived, HS- and CS-deficient sog9 cells. Associated with this phenotype was a reduction in HSV-1 plaquing: 1% relative to L cells which suggests that cell surface CS is responsible for HSV-1 binding to CS-containing gro2C cells. These results indicate a predominant role for cell surface HS in HSV-1 binding and a secondary role for cell surface CS. Additional results obtained from studying the effects of synthetic anionic polysaccharides (dextran sulfate, DEAEdextran, and dextran T-500) on HSV-1 plaquing with L, gro2C and sog9 cells suggest that the HSV-1 interactions with GAGs are electrostatic in nature with minor requirements for the recognition of structural features.

description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of the European energy security policy. Main sectors of study and research were the energy security, the security of supply and the demand security, the diversification of energy sources, the energy system as an independent subject of study, the European strategy for the energy security and the aim of minimizing the dependence from the Russian supply. Furthermore we analyze the projects for new pipelines, the European institutional framework as a tool of energy policy, the effort for the creation of a internal integrated energy market and the role of the European Independent energy regulators. Also we pinpointed the effects of the use of renewable energy sources,, the nuclear energy safety importance and the need of more investments in the energy sector. Last but not least we examine the importance of the energy infrastructure security, the role of strategic points like the Bosporus strains, the future aspects of the energy security and the role of the LNG and the secondary international cooperation in the energy sector.

description: In this work we find explicitly the decoherence free subspace (DFS) for a two two-level system in a common squeezed vacuum bath. We also find an orthogonal basis for the DFS composed of a symmetrical and an antisymmetrical (under particle permutation) entangled state. For any initial symmetrical state, the master equation has one stationary state which is the symmetrical entangled decoherence free state. In this way, one can generate entanglement via common squeezed bath of the two systems. If the initial state does not have a definite parity, the stationary state depends strongly on the initial conditions of the system and it has a statistical mixture of states which belong to the DFS. We also study the effect of the coupling between the two-level systems on the DFS.

Education, and in particular higher education, should provide a sense of security, promote the acquisition of skills that can be used differently in any activity, learn and retrain throughout life. The article presents an in-depth analysis of the needs of employers and their requirements for economic professionals. The most popular skills on the Ukrainian labor market, both universal and professional, have been studied, as well as compared with studies of world trends. Prospects for further development have been identified and what transformations the system of educational services should undergo in this regard to meet the changing demand in the labor market.
Supersymmetric codimension-two branes and U(1)_R mediation in 6D gauged supergravity

description: We construct a consistent supersymmetric action for brane chiral and vector multiplets in a six-dimensional chiral gauged supergravity. A nonzero brane tension can be accommodated by allowing for a brane-localized Fayet-Iliopoulos term proportional to the brane tension. When the brane chiral multiplet is charged under the bulk U(1)_R, we obtain a nontrivial coupling to the extra component of the U(1)_R gauge field strength as well as a singular scalar self-interaction term. Dimensionally reducing to 4D on a football supersymmetric solution, we discuss the implication of such interactions for obtaining the U(1)_R D-term in the 4D effective supergravity. By assuming the bulk gaugino condensates and nonzero brane F- and/or D-term for the uplifting potential, we have all the moduli stabilized with a vanishing cosmological constant. The brane scalar with nonzero R charge then gets a soft mass of order the gravitino mass. The overall sign of the soft mass squared depends on the sign of the R charge as well as whether the brane F- or D-term dominates.

description: Winter barley can give high grain yields only on fertile soils and for the application of a sufficient amount of fertilizers. Therefore, in modern intensive technologies, the use of mineral fertilizers has an important place. It is especially important to carry out nitrogen fertilization of crops, which should be moderate in autumn and during tillering and the formation of elements of the yield structure. Plants assimilate nitrogen most intensively during the period of active growth from the spring tillering phase to the heading phase.

Characterization of human melanotransferrin expressed in recombinant baculovirus infected insect cells
Creators: name: Shimizu, Katherine Yumiko
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: When producing recombinant mammalian proteins in an expression system, the successful completion of posttranslational modifications is an area of concern. One such modification is the attachment of a protein to a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor in the membrane. In order to investigate this, the baculovirus/insect cell system (Autographa californica multiple nuclear polyhedrosis virus/'Spodoptera frugiperda Sf9 cells) was used to express the human melanoma-associated antigen, p97 or melanotransferrin. An unusual feature of this protein is its attachment to the cell surface by a GPI-anchor. The expression of p97 at the surface of recombinant virus infected Sf9 cells was shown by FACS analysis using monoclonal antibodies that recognize two different epitopes. Immunoprecipitation of p97 from [35S]-methionine metabolically labelled p97 B-2-I infected Sf9 cells revealed that recombinant p97 is slightly smaller than p97 expressed by the SK-MEL-28 human melanoma cell line and that a soluble form of p97 was present in the spent medium of the infected Sf9 cells. While the GPI-anchored form of recombinant p97 partitioned into the detergent phase upon Triton X-114 extraction, the form found in the spent medium partitioned into the aqueous phase, suggesting that it may be analogous to the secreted form of p97 produced by SK-MEL-28 cells. The glycosylation of recombinant p97 from virus infected Sf9 cells was also analyzed. Although an Endoglycosidase H-resistant form of p97 was detected, it is likely that the processing of N-linked oligosaccharides to the complex-type was incomplete. Finally, the GPI-llinkage of p97 expressed in Sf9 cells was demonstrated by phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C sensitivity and Triton X- 114 extraction. The ability to express GPI-linked proteins in this system will be useful for the bioengineering and commercial production of proteins.

description: T The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible selves of the Greek adolescents nowadays, at the rise of the economic crisis in Greece. Specifically, this study investigated the possible selves of adolescents and one of their parents' representations about the future selves of their children. A gender perspective was adopted as well. The sample consisted of 225 boys and 319 girls attending 10th grade, in a representative sample of Thessaloniki’s schools and one of their parents (307 mothers, 72 fathers). Qualitative reports of adolescents for their possible selves but also their parents’s representations for them, were classified according to the classification system of Oyserman & Markus (1990a). Frequently distributions of all different types of possible selves were presented for the total samples of students and parents, as well as separately for boys and girls, fathers and mothers. A series of chi-square independence tests indicated a number of significant association as well as absence of significant association among the variables under examination. The results are discussed in of current theory in the context of the current financial recession of Greece.

description: A \emph{quasi-polynomial} is a function defined of the form $q(k) = c_d(k) k^d + c_{d-1}(k) k^{d-1} + ... + c_0(k)$, where $c_0, c_1, ..., c_d$ are periodic functions in $k \in \Z$. Prominent examples of quasi-polynomials appear in Ehrhart's theory as integer-point counting functions for rational polytopes, and McMullen gives upper bounds for the periods of the $c_j(k)$ for Ehrhart quasi-polynomials. For generic polytopes, McMullen's bounds seem to be sharp, but sometimes smaller periods exist. We prove that the second leading coefficient of an Ehrhart quasi-polynomial always has maximal expected period and present a general theorem that yields maximal periods for the coefficients of certain quasi-polynomials. We present a construction for (Ehrhart) quasi-polynomials that exhibit maximal period behavior and use it to answer a question of Zaslavsky on convolutions of quasi-polynomials.

description: Jurisdiction agreements is the “mean” that is used in the recent years by the several national laws as limit to the prerogative of the legislator to designate exclusively the territorial and international jurisdiction, in respect of private autonomy. Jurisdiction agreements mainly increase legal certainty, which clearly becomes more important when the choice of court agreement determines the international jurisdiction. The foreknowledge of the court that will solve the arising dispute has the advantages of gaining time, money and energy as well as avoiding, not only an unnecessary search of jurisdiction, but also the uncertainty regarding the result of an action brought in courts with contentious jurisdiction. This paper addresses the issue of jurisdiction agreements in European law, in particular as regulated by Article 23 of Regulation 44/2001 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. The following analysis will attempt to answer the questions raised by the practical implementation of this article, based primarily in the jurisprudence of the ECJ.

description: Silicon has many attractive properties for quantum computing, and the quantum dot architecture is appealing because of its controllability and scalability. However, the multiple valleys in the silicon conduction band are potentially a serious source of decoherence for spin-based quantum dot qubits. Only when these valleys are split by a large energy does one obtain well-defined and long-lived spin states appropriate for quantum computing. Here we show that the small valley splittings observed in previous experiments on Si/SiGe heterostructures result from atomic steps at the quantum well interface. Lateral confinement in a quantum point contact limits the electron wavefunctions to several steps, and enhances the valley splitting substantially, up to 1.5 meV. The combination of electronic and magnetic confinement produces a valley splitting larger than the spin splitting, which is controllable over a wide range. These results improve the outlook for realizing spin qubits with long coherence times in silicon-based devices.

description: This paper examines historical urban fabrics' challenges regarding quality of life and visual disturbances despite their cultural and identity value. Regeneration and social-oriented approaches considering social, economic, and cultural dimensions preserve and enhance these valuable materials. Tactical urbanism, with its people-oriented approach, can address these issues. This study focused on Sarpol in Khomeinishahr County, Isfahan Province of Iran. The city's urban structure divides into two parts: despite its active social structure and valuable spaces, Sarpol is a historic neighborhood with significant deterioration. We followed Corbin and Strauss's version of Grounded Theory in the qualitative research methodology. Purposive and snowball sampling methods were employed to select 21 participants from the Sarpol neighborhood for semi-structured interviews. The analysis involved three stages of coding: open, axial, and selective. The themes included religious participation, identity, sustainable social bonds, indigenous dependence, and low environmental quality. The central issue identified was the crucial role of religious and cultural values as a driving force for tactical urbanism, which emerged as the most critical semantic domain related to the research problem.

Entangling spins by measuring charge: a parity-gate toolbox

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The parity gate emerged recently as a promising resource for performing universal quantum computation with fermions using only linear interactions. Here we analyse the parity gate (P-gate) from a theoretical point of view in the context of quantum networks. We present several schemes for entanglement generation with P-gates and show that native networks simplify considerably the resources required for producing multi-qubit entanglement, like n-GHZ states. Other applications include a Bell-state analyser and teleportation. We also show that cluster state fusion can be performed deterministically with parity measurements. We then extend this analysis to hybrid quantum networks containing spin and mode qubits. Starting from an easy-to-prepare resource (spin-mode entanglement of single electrons) we show how to produce a spin n-GHZ state with linear elements (beam-splitters and local spin-flips) and charge-parity detectors; this state can be used as a resource in a spin quantum computer or as a precursor for constructing cluster states. Finally, we construct a novel spin CZ-gate by using the mode degrees of freedom as ancillae.

The effect of self-esteem on persistance toward goals
Creators: name: Di Paula, Adam W.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Previous research has indicated that high self-esteem persons persist more than low self-esteem persons after failure. A study was conducted to test the hypothesis that this finding would be reversed when people have the opportunity to pursue alternate goals in the face of failure. After receiving failure feedback, 120 subjects high and low in chronic self-esteem worked under conditions in which they a) could persist in the failed goal domain only, b) had the option of persisting or pursuing a new goal, or c) had the option of persisting or trying an alternate route to the failed goal. The main dependent measure was the minutes subjects continued to work on the original (failed) task. Contrary to predictions, high and low self-esteem subjects persisted equally in the failed goal domain, regardless of condition. However, high self-esteem subjects did persist more than low self-esteem subjects on the new task option, whether it represented a new goal or an alternative route toward the initial goal. Discussion centers on the interpretation of this pattern of effects, as well as how the present results point to the need for a more complex analysis of the self-esteem persistence relationship.

An efficient algorithm for accelerating the convergence of oscillatory series, useful for computing the polylogarithm and Hurwitz zeta functions

description: This paper sketches a technique for improving the rate of convergence of a general oscillatory sequence, and then applies this series acceleration algorithm to the polylogarithm and the Hurwitz zeta function. As such, it may be taken as an extension of the techniques given by Borwein's "An efficient algorithm for computing the Riemann zeta function", to more general series. The algorithm provides a rapid means of evaluating Li_s(z) for general values of complex s and the region of complex z values given by |z^2/(z-1)|<4. Alternatively, the Hurwitz zeta can be very rapidly evaluated by means of an Euler-Maclaurin series. The polylogarithm and the Hurwitz zeta are related, in that two evaluations of the one can be used to obtain a value of the other; thus, either algorithm can be used to evaluate either function. The Euler-Maclaurin series is a clear performance winner for the Hurwitz zeta, while the Borwein algorithm is superior for evaluating the polylogarithm in the kidney-shaped region. Both algorithms are superior to the simple Taylor's series or direct summation. The primary, concrete result of this paper is an algorithm allows the exploration of the Hurwitz zeta in the critical strip, where fast algorithms are otherwise unavailable. A discussion of the monodromy group of the polylogarithm is included.

Microcracks and inhomogeneously distributed defects in solids
Creators: name: Kornyushin, Yuri
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A conception of inhomogeneous locally random distribution of microdefects in crystalline solids is proposed. A method to calculate some physical properties of solids, containing inhomogeneously distributed defects, is developed. A contribution of this inhomogeneity to a series of physical properties is calculated and discussed. This contribution exceeds that of homogeneously distributed defects by the orders of magnitude. A contribution of the inhomogeneity to electric conductivity, Hall effect and magnetoresistance is calculated. Elastic energy and volume of inhomogeneously dislocated crystal are regarded. It was shown that the relaxation of the elastic energy of random dislocations during propagation of a crack facilitates the process. These results explained a phenomenon of lamination of overdeformed metals.

description: Στόχοι: Η διερεύνηση της αποτελεσματικότητας του λειτουργικού ηλεκτρικού ερεθισμού στην αντιμετώπιση των κινητικών ελλειμμάτων σε άτομα με κάκωση νωτιαίου μυελού σε σύγκριση με την τυπική εφαρμογή φυσικοθεραπείας. Μέθοδοι: Πραγματοποιήθηκε βιβλιογραφική αναζήτησης στις ηλεκτρονικές βάσεις δεδομένων Medline (μέσω PubMed) , Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL, the Cochrane Library), PEDro (Physiotherapy Evidence Database) καθώς και βάσεις δεδομένων από αδημοσίευτες μελέτες όπως WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry, EU Clinical Trials Register, Grey Literature (The New York Academy, Grey literature report), Opengrey.eu. Η εκτίμηση του κινδύνου συστηματικού σφάλματος στις μελέτες που συμπεριλήφθηκαν βασίστηκε στο εργαλείο της Cochrane Collaboration για την εκτίμηση του κινδύνου συστηματικού σφάλματος. Αποτελέσματα: Όσοι ανήκαν στην ομάδα παρέμβασης και λάμβαναν συνδυαστική θεραπεία, τυπική φυσικοθεραπεία και λειτουργικό ηλεκτρικό ερεθισμό, βελτίωσαν τόσο την αδρή όσο και τη λεπτή κινητικότητα του άνω άκρου. Για την κινητικότητα του κάτω άκρου, αντίστοιχα, η ομάδα παρέμβασης παρουσίασε αύξηση της ταχύτητας βάδισης και βελτίωση στην αντοχή μόνο στην οξεία φάση της αποκατάστασης και όχι στη χρόνια.
description: Objectives: To investigate the efficacy of functional electrical stimulation in the treatment of motor deficits in individuals with spinal cord injury compared to the application of standard physiotherapy. Methods: The literature search included electronic databases Medline (via PubMed) , Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL, the Cochrane Library), PEDro (Physiotherapy Evidence Database), databases from unpublished studies such as WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry, EU Clinical Trials Register, Grey Literature ( The New York Academy, Grey literature report), Opengrey.eu. The risk assessment bias in the studies included was based on "the Cochrane Collaboration tool for assessing the risk of bias'. Results: Those who belonged to the intervention group and received combination therapy, standard physical therapy and functional electrical stimulation, improved both the gross and fine motor skills of the upper limb. Mobility of the lower limb in the intervention group showed an increase in walking speed and improvement in endurance only in the acute phase of recovery and not in chronic phase. Conclusions: The right design and combination of functional electrical stimulation with standard physiotherapy can produce the best results. Further investigation is needed.

description: We have investigated the drag on a sphere falling through a clay suspension that has a yield stress and exhibits rheological aging. The drag force increases with both speed and the rest time between preparation of the system and the start of the experiment, but there exists a nonzero minimum speed below which steady motion is not possible. We find that only a very thin layer of material around the sphere is fluidized when it moves, while the rest of suspension is deformed elastically. This is in marked contrast to what is found for yield-stress fluids that do not age.

Abstract
The role of evidentiary weight in judicial sentencing determinations
Creators: name: Nir, Esther
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2016

description: The type and quantity of evidence in a case is a critical factor for deciding guilt, but should have little or no influence on the sentencing determinations of judges post conviction; this is because case evidence goes to guilt decisions by triers of fact, whereas sentences are imposed upon those already convicted. This dissertation examines the extralegal influence of evidentiary type and quantity on post conviction sentencing decisions using a mixed methods approach. Quantitative results demonstrate that violent felony trial cases with forensic evidence, and those cases with more varied pieces of physical evidence, result in longer custodial sentences for convicted defendants, whereas the presence of eyewitnesses fails to influence sentencing punitiveness. Qualitative interviews of 41 state court sentencing judges provide explanations for these relationships. The findings show that judges perceive cases with forensic evidence to be more objective and reliable than non-scientific evidence. While they appreciate the human quality of witness testimony, inherent credibility and reliability concerns result in decreased perceptions of evidentiary strength. Further, additional pieces of evidence corroborate other case evidence and improve perceptions of evidentiary weight. Thus, cases with more evidence and cases with forensic evidence increase judicial confidence levels in guilt. Finally, analyses utilizing a series of vignettes to evaluate sentencing rationales, as well as direct queries, reveal that judges impose longer sentences when their perceptions of evidentiary strength are highest because they are more confident in the guilt of the defendant.
