description: Increasingly larger data sets of processes in space and time ask for statistical models and methods that can cope with such data. We show that the solution of a stochastic advection-diffusion partial differential equation provides a flexible model class for spatio-temporal processes which is computationally feasible also for large data sets. The Gaussian process defined through the stochastic partial differential equation has in general a nonseparable covariance structure. Furthermore, its parameters can be physically interpreted as explicitly modeling phenomena such as transport and diffusion that occur in many natural processes in diverse fields ranging from environmental sciences to ecology. In order to obtain computationally efficient statistical algorithms we use spectral methods to solve the stochastic partial differential equation. This has the advantage that approximation errors do not accumulate over time, and that in the spectral space the computational cost grows linearly with the dimension, the total computational costs of Bayesian or frequentist inference being dominated by the fast Fourier transform. The proposed model is applied to postprocessing of precipitation forecasts from a numerical weather prediction model for northern Switzerland. In contrast to the raw forecasts from the numerical model, the postprocessed forecasts are calibrated and quantify prediction uncertainty. Moreover, they outperform the raw forecasts, in the sense that they have a lower mean absolute error.

description: \ \ We have recently developed methods for obtaining exact two-point resistance of the complete graph minus $N$ edges. We use these methods to obtain closed formulas of certain trigonometrical sums that arise in connection with one-dimensional lattice, in proving the Scott's conjecture on permanent of Cauchy matrix, and in the perturbative chiral Potts model. The generalized trigonometrical sums of the chiral Potts model are shown to satisfy recursion formulas that are transparent and direct, and differ from those of Gervois and Mehta. By making a change of variables in these recursion formulas, the dimension of the space of conformal blocks of $SU(2)$ and $SO(3)$ WZW models may be computed recursively. Our methods are then extended to compute the corner-to-corner resistance, and the Kirchhoff index of the first non-trivial two-dimensional resistor network, $2\times N$. Finally, we obtain new closed formulas for variant of trigonometrical sums, some of which appear in connection with number theory.

description: The radiation from the central regions of active galactic nuclei, including that from the accretion disk surrounding the black hole, is likely to peak in the extreme ultraviolet $\sim 13 -100$ eV. However, due to Galactic absorption, we are limited to constrain the physical properties, i.e. the black hole mass and the accretion rate, from what observations we have below $\sim 10$ eV or above $\sim 100$ eV. In this paper we predict the thermal and ionization states of warm absorbers as a function of the shape of the unobservable continuum. In particular we model an accretion disk at $kT_{in} \sim 10$ eV and a {\it soft excess} at $kT_{se} \sim 150$ eV. The warm absorber, which is the highly ionized gas along the line of sight to the continuum, shows signatures in the $\sim 0.3 - 2$ keV energy range consisting of numerous absorption lines and edges of various ions, some of the prominent ones being H- and He-like oxygen, neon, magnesium and silicon. We find that the properties of the warm absorber are significantly influenced by the changes in the temperature of the accretion disk, as well as by the strength of the {\it soft excess}, as they affect the optical depth particularly for iron and oxygen. These trends may help develop a method of characterising the shape of the unobservable continuum and the occurrence of warm absorbers.

Heterozygous rho kinase2 deficinecy increases whole body insulin sensitivity in mice
Creators: name: Bankar, Girish
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes is increasing worldwide. Impaired insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues has been considered one of the major causes of whole body insulin resistance. Previous in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that the RhoA/ROCK pathway regulates the insulin signaling pathway. Two isoforms of Rho kinase (ROCK) have been identified, known as ROCK1 and ROCK2. It has recently been shown that in-vivo deletion of ROCK1 causes insulin resistance, whereas whether ROCK2 has a role in regulation of insulin sensitivity is unknown. In the current study, we investigated the physiological role of ROCK2 in the regulation of whole body insulin sensitivity in mice with heterozygous ROCK2 deficiency (ROCK2 +/-). ROCK2 +/- mice showed increased glucose tolerance and whole body insulin sensitivity compared to their wild-type littermates. Increased whole body insulin sensitivity in ROCK2 +/- mice was associated with increased activation of the insulin signaling in skeletal muscles and adipose tissues. To explore the mechanism of increased peripheral insulin sensitivity in ROCK2 +/- mice, we studied PPARγ and adiponectin signaling. We found selective upregulation of PPARγ and adiponectin signaling in skeletal muscles, whereas PPAR gamma levels were downregulated in adipose tissues of ROCK2 +/- mice. These findings suggest that partial ROCK2 deficiency increases insulin sensitivity in vivo through upregulation of PPARγ selectively in skeletal muscles. This suggests that ROCK2 is a potential therapeutic target in the development of new drugs for type 2 diabetes.

description: We develop a general method of computing the contribution of the vertex operators to the semi-classical correlation functions of heavy string states, based on the state-operator correspondence and the integrable structure of the system. Our method requires only the knowledge of the local behavior of the saddle point configuration around each vertex insertion point and can be applied to cases where the precise forms of the vertex operators are not known. As an important application, we compute the contributions of the vertex operators to the three-point functions of the large spin limit of the Gubser-Klebanov-Polyakov (GKP) strings in $AdS_3$ spacetime, left unevaluated in our previous work [arXiv:1110.3949] which initiated such a study. Combining with the finite part of the action already computed previously and with the newly evaluated divergent part of the action, we obtain finite three-point functions with the expected dependence of the target space boundary coordinates on the dilatation charge and the spin.

Insights into consumer-to-consumer punishment decisions
Creators: name: Lin, Pei-Shiuan Lily
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Social norms are common in our daily lives, and violations of these norms are just as prevalent. While the topics of norm violations and punishment have been studied in disciplines outside of consumer research (e.g., sociology, psychology), research efforts have not examined consumers’ reactions toward another consumer who violates well-established norms in consumption contexts. The present research seeks to fill this void by introducing and investigating the concept of consumer-to-consumer punishment. Across seven experimental studies, this dissertation first provides insight into how consumers make punishment decisions toward fellow consumers. It then sets out to understand the downstream effects of norm violations and consumer punishment decisions. Based on the conceptualization that violations disrupt social order, and that social order can be restored through the punishment of norm violators, the first four studies of the dissertation highlight three factors that are critical in consumers’ punishment decisions. First, when a third party in the consumption environment restores social order through punishment, consumers will refrain from punishing further (study 1). Second, punishment is mitigated when the norm violator faces an unjustified adversity, as punishment would create a further imbalance in social order (studies 2a and 2b). Third, the level of punishment required to achieve social order is reduced for a higher status norm violator (study 3). The next three studies explore how norm violations and punishment decisions can negatively impact consumers’ consumption experience. Not only do norm violations result in an increase in punishment behavior, they also result in more negative ratings of the products (study 4). Interestingly, the normative nature of the store policy in place (norm reinforcing vs. norm licensing) was not shown to effectively mitigate these negative consumption evaluations (study 5). The last study demonstrates how the negative ramifications from norm violations can be offset by the punisher. Specifically, evaluations of consumption experience improved when a third party (i.e., store employee) took on the role of the punisher (study 6). Finally, the dissertation discusses the theoretical contributions of the current work, identifies important managerial implications, and suggests multiple avenues for future research.

description: We study the prospects to measure the CP-sensitive triple-product asymmetries in neutralino production e+e- -> ~chi^0_i ~chi^0_1 and subsequent leptonic two-body decays ~chi^0_i -> ~l_R l, ~l_R -> ~chi^0_1 l, for l=e, mu, within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. We include a full detector simulation of the International Large Detector for the International Linear Collider. The simulation was performed at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt{s}=500 GeV, including the relevant Standard Model background processes, a realistic beam energy spectrum, beam backgrounds and a beam polarization of 80% and -60% for the electron and positron beams, respectively. In order to effectively disentangle different signal samples and reduce SM and SUSY backgrounds we apply a method of kinematic reconstruction. Assuming an integrated luminosity of 500 fb^-1 collected by the experiment and the performance of the current ILD detector, we arrive at a relative measurement accuracy of 10% for the CP-sensitive asymmetry in our scenario. We demonstrate that our method of signal selection using kinematic reconstruction can be applied to a broad class of scenarios and it allows disentangling processes with similar kinematic properties.

description: It has been proposed that disorder may lead to a new type of topological insulator, called topological Anderson insulator (TAI). Here we examine the physical origin of this phenomenon. We calculate the topological invariants and density of states of disordered model in a super-cell of 2-dimensional HgTe/CdTe quantum well. The topologically non-trivial phase is triggered by a band touching as the disorder strength increases. The TAI is protected by a mobility gap, in contrast to the band gap in conventional quantum spin Hall systems. The mobility gap in the TAI consists of a cluster of non-trivial subgaps separated by almost flat and localized bands.

description: In this paper, we study the John-Nirenberg inequality for BMO and the atomic decomposition for H1 of noncommutative martingales. We first establish a crude version of the column (resp. row) John-Nirenberg inequality for all 0 < p < \infty. By an extreme point property of Lp -space for 0 < p \leq 1, we then obtain a fine version of this in equality. The latter corresponds exactly to the classical John-Nirenberg inequality and enables us to obtain an exponential integrability inequality like in the classical case. These results extend and improve Junge and Musat's John-Nirenberg inequality. By duality, we obtain the corresponding q-atomic decomposition for different Hardy spaces H1 for all 1

description: Channel polarization is a phenomenon in which a particular recursive encoding induces a set of synthesized channels from many instances of a memoryless channel, such that a fraction of the synthesized channels becomes near perfect for data transmission and the other fraction becomes near useless for this task. Mahdavifar and Vardy have recently exploited this phenomenon to construct codes that achieve the symmetric private capacity for private data transmission over a degraded wiretap channel. In the current paper, we build on their work and demonstrate how to construct quantum wiretap polar codes that achieve the symmetric private capacity of a degraded quantum wiretap channel with a classical eavesdropper. Due to the Schumacher-Westmoreland correspondence between quantum privacy and quantum coherence, we can construct quantum polar codes by operating these quantum wiretap polar codes in superposition, much like Devetak's technique for demonstrating the achievability of the coherent information rate for quantum data transmission. Our scheme achieves the symmetric coherent information rate for quantum channels that are degradable with a classical environment. This condition on the environment may seem restrictive, but we show that many quantum channels satisfy this criterion, including amplitude damping channels, photon-detected jump channels, dephasing channels, erasure channels, and cloning channels. Our quantum polar coding scheme has the desirable properties of being channel-adapted and symmetric capacity-achieving along with having an efficient encoder, but we have not demonstrated that the decoding is efficient. Also, the scheme may require entanglement assistance, but we show that the rate of entanglement consumption vanishes in the limit of large blocklength if the channel is degradable with classical environment.

Проблема исследования заключается в скрытых, не явных рисках для человека и общества в результате пролонгированного применения цифровых технологий контроля.
Тема является мало изученной на системном уровне, большинство решений по сходной тематике посвящены ситуативному решению проблемы, а значит, в условиях экспоненциального роста технологий являются низкоэффективными, что говорит о необходимости осмысления проблемы на системном уровне. Целью исследования является осмысление рисков, связанных с цифровыми средствами контроля и краткое изложение

What was read as a loosely connected series of expressionistic short scenes reveals itself as a carefully constructed whole. The narrative cement is provided by erotic relationships, by the visualization of metropolitan patterns of motion, and by a tightly woven texture of motives. Through emotional and economic treason, Hochwälder puts Schnitzler’s language of love in the mouths of characters from Horváth’s narrative worlds, and he exploits an up to now overlooked criminal plot.

description: Strongly turbulent Taylor-Couette flow with independently rotating inner and outer cylinders with a radius ratio of η= 0.716 is experimentally studied. From global torque measurements, we analyse the dimensionless angular velocity flux Nu_ω(Ta, a) as a function of the Taylor number Ta and the angular velocity ratio a = -ω_o/ω_i in the large-Taylor-number regime 10^{11} \lesssim Ta \lesssim 10^{13}. We analyse the data with the common power-law ansatz for the dimensionless angular velocity transport flux Nu_ω(Ta, a) = f(a)Ta^γ, with an amplitude f(a) and an exponent γ. The data are consistent with one effective exponent γ= 0.39\pm0.03 for all a. The amplitude of the angular velocity flux f(a) = Nu_ω(Ta, a)/Ta^0.39 is measured to be maximal at slight counter-rotation, namely at an angular velocity ratio of a_opt = 0.33\pm0.04. This value is theoretically interpreted as the result of a competition between the destabilizing inner cylinder rotation and the stabilizing but shear-enhancing outer cylinder counter-rotation. With the help of laser Doppler anemometry, we provide angular velocity profiles and identify the radial position r_n of the neutral line. While for moderate counter-rotation -0.40 ω_i \lesssim ω_o < 0, the neutral line still remains close to the outer cylinder and the probability distribution function (p.d.f.) of the bulk angular velocity is observed to be monomodal. For stronger counter-rotation the neutral line is pushed inwards towards the inner cylinder; in this regime the p.d.f. of the bulk angular velocity becomes bimodal, reflecting intermittent bursts of turbulent structures beyond the neutral line into the outer flow domain, which otherwise is stabilized by the counter-rotating outer cylinder. Finally, a hypothesis is offered allowing a unifying view for all these various results.

Reconciling rhetoric and reality : putting "development" at the centre of the game
Creators: name: Reayat, Irfan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The thesis looks into factors that have resulted in the failure of Washington Consensus policies prescribed by International Financial Institutions (IFIs). The IFIs consider free trade, investment, privatization, and deregulation as key to removing impediments to the development of host countries. From a Law and Development perspective, the thesis argues for review of these policies, and suggests reforms in the institutional design, governance, and redefined role of IFIs and national governments. At host countries’ current stage of development the adoption of free trade policies based on comparative advantage will lock them in dead end professions or industries with low rates of return, and they will no longer be competitive in industrial production and international trade. After providing historical analysis of the economic policies of the developed countries the thesis argues that developed countries selectively adopted free trade to achieve their economic goals. The developing countries should also selectively structure creative protectionist and free trade policies. The thesis presents Pakistan as a case study and argues that in Pakistan’s specific non-economic circumstances IFIs need to acknowledge the redefined role of the state and facilitate a rule based, institutionalized, public-private partnership model. If privatization and deregulation are considered a panacea to address Pakistan’s governance and development problems, then it needs to be done in the right way. The thesis conducts comparative analysis of privatization and deregulation in the telecommunication and banking sectors of Pakistan, Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic, and highlights the importance of legal and institutional design in the pre- and post-privatization eras to achieve the desired goals. In the light of the comparative studies the thesis argues for reforms in the Privatization Act and incorporation of an Appellate Court/Tribunal to review privatization transactions in Pakistan. The thesis argues that instead of ranking host countries on the pace of their privatization, the IFIs rank them on how they privatize by incorporating good governance principles in conditions associated with their development mandate. The IFIs need to follow good governance in their own governance structure as well through proper representation of developing countries.

description: In this paper, the one-dimensional time-fractional diffusion-wave equation with the fractional derivative of order $1 \le α\le 2$ is revisited. This equation interpolates between the diffusion and the wave equations that behave quite differently regarding their response to a localized disturbance: whereas the diffusion equation describes a process, where a disturbance spreads infinitely fast, the propagation speed of the disturbance is a constant for the wave equation. For the time fractional diffusion-wave equation, the propagation speed of a disturbance is infinite, but its fundamental solution possesses a maximum that disperses with a finite speed. In this paper, the fundamental solution of the Cauchy problem for the time-fractional diffusion-wave equation, its maximum location, maximum value, and other important characteristics are investigated in detail. To illustrate analytical formulas, results of numerical calculations and plots are presented. Numerical algorithms and programs used to produce plots are discussed.

description: We analyze topological charge contributions from classical SU(2) center vortices with shapes of planes and spheres using different topological charge definitions, namely the center vortex picture of topological charge, a discrete version of FF in the plaquette and hypercube definitions and the lattice index theorem. For the latter the zeromodes of the Dirac operator in the fundamental and adjoint representations using both the overlap and asqtad staggered fermion formulations are investigated. We find several problems for the individual definitions and discuss the discrepancies between the different topological charge definitions. Our results show that the interpretation of topological charge in the background of center vortices is rather subtle.

Dilaton in a soft-wall holographic approach to mesons and baryons

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011

description: We discuss a holographic soft-wall model developed for the description of mesons and baryons with adjustable quantum numbers n, J, L, S. This approach is based on an action which describes hadrons with broken conformal invariance and which incorporates confinement through the presence of a background dilaton field. We show that in the case of the bound-state problem (hadronic mass spectrum) two versions of the model with a positive and negative dilaton profile are equivalent to each other by a special transformation of the bulk field. We also comment on recent works which discuss the dilaton sign in the context of soft-wall approaches.

description: Статья посвящена проблеме самопознания в философско-теологическом дискурсе платонизма. Платонизм рассматривается как универсальная модель, лежащая в основании европейский культуры в целом и России в частности. Фундаментальный характер проблемы и быстрый темп изменений в культуре требуют актуализации онтологической модели самопознания с целью выявления причин кризисных явлений, которые рассматриваются как отклонения от базовых онтологических принципов. Целью исследования является актуализация онтологической модели самопознания в результате историософского анализа философско-теологического дискурса платонизма. Результатом исследования является онтологическая модель самопознания, архетипический образ которой заключён в современных педагогических моделях самовоспитания и саморазвития.
Amenability, locally finite spaces, and bi-lipschitz embeddings

description: We define the isoperimetric constant for any locally finite metric space and we study the property of having isoperimetric constant equal to zero. This property, called Small Neighborhood property, clearly extends amenability to any locally finite space. Therefore, we start making a comparison between this property and other notions of amenability for locally finite metric spaces that have been proposed by Gromov, Lafontaine and Pansu, by Ceccherini-Silberstein, Grigorchuk and de la Harpe and by Block and Weinberger. We discuss possible applications of the property SN in the study of embedding a metric space into another one. In particular, we propose three results: we prove that a certain class of metric graphs that are isometrically embeddable into Hilbert spaces must have the property SN. We also show, by a simple example, that this result is not true replacing property SN with amenability. As a second result, we prove that \emph{many} spaces with \emph{uniform bounded geometry} having a bi-lipschitz embedding into Euclidean spaces must have the property SN. Finally, we prove a Bourgain-like theorem for metric trees: a metric tree with uniform bounded geometry and without property SN does not have bi-lipschitz embeddings into finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces.

Testo, discorso, globalizzazione
Creators: name: Menin, Roberto
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2012
Subjects: teoria della traduzione; globalizzazione; teoria dei sistemi; cultural studies; Skopostheorie

description: What exactly has the impact of globalized texts been on translation theory? How far has translation theory taken into account the countless new formats and new modalities? This paper sets out to identify points of contact between two different realms, namely, new media with its various forms of global texts on the one hand, and traductological considerations on the other. What will emerge from such a comparison will be a series of significant convergences as well as new openings towards global texts. This study will provide an overview of the work of McLuhan and the criticism of The Gutenberg Galaxy; Lefevere and the theory of systems applied to translation; Meschonnic and issues regarding rhythm and Skopostheorie and translation for the theatre. From the disintegration of the printed form, rather than a re-composition and new textual entities, this study will argue that new modalities have led to an increase in discursive elements and the need for a connection above the mere linguistic level.

Traduzione, riscrittura e manipolazione ideologica: le ‘cover’ delle canzoni di Dylan negli anni ‘60
Creators: name: Garzone, Giuliana Elena

description: This study investigates the translation of the lyrics of Bob Dylan’s songs into Italian. In particular, it focuses on the translations produced in the 1960s, when the Italian public was just starting to get acquainted with the most innovative cultural and artistic phenomena then occurring abroad, and in particular in the US. While in those days only a limited intellectual elite was seriously interested in such phenomena and in their political and artistic relevance, the record industry – then thriving  – merely exploited them for the superficial appeal they could have on the public at large, at a time when a rising wave of juvenilism and xenophily was sweeping the still largely parochial scene of contemporary Italian culture. Against this background, this study discusses the main strategies adopted in the translation of Dylan’s texts into Italian, focusing on two among his most popular songs, “Blowin’ in the Wind” and “Rainy Day Women 12 & 35”, and shows that the translation evidently gives more consideration to the recipients’ tastes and to the record industry’s marketing strategies than to the original message, which is altered and deprived of its potentially subversive ideological value, an alteration also made possible by the failure to abide by copyright laws (Dylan’s authorship is not even acknowledge on record labels).  The analysis not only contributes to shedding light on the cultural value of Dylan’s early works in Italian contemporary culture, but also provides the opportunity to discuss the ideological potential of the translator’s work, which, requiring a whole sequence of decisions, inherently offers a high potential for (more or less inadvertent) manipulation and ideological defusing.
