description: We present high resolution (R=24,000) L-band spectra of the young intermediate mass star V1331 Cyg obtained with NIRSPEC on the Keck II telescope. The spectra show strong, rich emission from water and OH that likely arises from the warm surface region of the circumstellar disk. We explore the use of the new BT2 (Barber et al. 2006) water line list in fitting the spectra, and we find that it does a much better job than the well-known HITRAN (Rothman et al. 1998) water line list in the observed wavelength range and for the warm temperatures probed by our data. By comparing the observed spectra with synthetic disk emission models, we find that the water and OH emission lines have similar widths (FWHM ~ 18 km s-1). If the line widths are set by disk rotation, the OH and water emission lines probe a similar range of disk radii in this source. The water and OH emission are consistent with thermal emission for both components at a temperature ~ 1500 K. The column densities of the emitting water and OH are large, ~ 10^{21} cm-2 and ~ 10^{20} cm-2, respectively. Such a high column density of water is more than adequate to shield the disk midplane from external UV irradiation in the event of complete dust settling out of the disk atmosphere, enabling chemical synthesis to continue in the midplane despite a harsh external UV environment. The large OH-to-water ratio is similar to expectations for UV irradiated disks (e.g., Bethell and Bergin 2009), although the large OH column density is less easily accounted for.

description: In an era of fundamental changes in education brought by virtual worlds and augmented reality, dominated by mobile devices and applications, it is necessary to rethink the academic work environments based on the use of social applications like Facebook, YouTube or Twitter, in accordance with the skills and learning needs of students. In this context the authors discuss how today s Romanianhigher education actors perceive and use social media, trying to find out the answers to questions such as: How faculty members use social media as reflective and collaborative teaching and learning tools, also for research and professional development? Which are the potential benefits, challenges, and disadvantages in using social media in universities? Is there a need for training the educational actors in this topic?

title: The withdrawal of being and the discursive creation of the modern subject - an examination of the movement form being to non-being through a consideration of Heideggerean and Arsitotelian notions of being
Creators: name: Roberts, Susan
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: This work considers what it means to 'be' human and seeks to show that it is in the activity of 'being' human that our individual identity lies, because this is the activity that determines what we are and what we will become. Aristotle asked the fundamental metaphysical question, "is a human being idle by nature?" and concluded, from his realisations concerning the dynamic nature of reality, that he is not. Accordingly, the metaphysical vision of 'beinghuman' that Aristotle articulated, which is considered and applied in this work, in contrast to the static notions of being presented by Heidegger and Christian scholasticism, presents an understanding of man as a potentially dynamic and internally active being, capable of maintaining himself by bein~ attuned to reality and thereby contemplating God. It seems most timely to explore Aristotle's understanding of 'being-human' because much postmodern thought seems to be concerned with locating the 'self, or explicating its disappearance in terms of an emancipation from form, or as the exposure of some form of illusion that has kept us all living the lie of selfhood. However, the 'absent' postmodern self finds a place in Aristotle's metaphysical vision, because not only did Aristotle recognise the significance of actively 'being' human, he also recognised that through deprivation and incapacity some forms of being can go out of existence or become something else. And it appears that our postmodern form of unconscious existence constitutes such an altered form, determined according to a deprivation of actively 'being', i.e., by 'non-being.' The determining movement of 'non-being', which emerges from the ontological gap created by failing to 'be', is considered throughout this work, particularly with regard to developments in language and technology, because it is through our single-minded engagement in external productive activities, which are incidental to 'being-human', that we have avoided the inner contemplative activity that inheres in human 'thinghood'.

Paths to empire : the production and mobilization of historical narratives by Baltic German émigrés, 1905-1918
Creators: name: Bredovskis, Eriks Eduards
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: This thesis examines how Baltic German émigrés living in the German Empire argued for the inclusion of the Baltic Provinces of the Russian Empire (Estland, Kurland, and Livland) into the Kaiserreich. At the start of the twentieth century, Baltic German intellectuals took up academic positions at universities in Germany. Embittered by their previous experience of Russification in the 1880s and then surrounded by a German nationalist environment, they produced numerous histories of Russia and the Baltic Provinces, which underscored the region’s Germanness and its perceived trajectory away from a German national teleology. World War One was a crucial moment in the development of these narratives as now there was a possibility of actually acquiring these provinces. This thesis argues that Balten narratives of eastern Europe demanded the incorporation of the Baltic Provinces into the German Empire through the construction of a specific historical narrative about Germany’s role in eastern Europe. These narratives were informed by existing German conceptions of history—particularly those propagated by Heinrich von Treitschke— and from other nineteenth-century discourses of empire—in particular the domestication of “wild” spaces and the “civilizing mission.” Their narratives can be understood as a form of “the civilizing mission,” which mobilized the concept of Kulturboden—the understanding that specific spaces (soils) had become Germanized over time. These various aspects came together in the decade before World War One in order to inform the German reading public of the social changes occurring in the Baltic Provinces. During World War One, however, Baltic German émigrés mobilized these narratives in order to contribute to broader discourses surrounding Germany’s role in Europe and its war aims. During the war, either collectively or individually, Baltic Germans produced histories and studies on the Baltic Provinces, all of which framed the Provinces as a German space possessing German forms, be they cultural, environmental, or historic. While the rhetoric can be seen as successful in convincing the German government to incorporate the Baltic Provinces in the German Empire in mid-1918, the collapse of Imperial Germany and the Treaty of Versailles resulted in territorial losses. The institutional memory and legacy of these works, however, informed future scholars of the type of language and evidence that would demonstrate the presence of Germanic spaces outside of Germany’s borders and show that individuals are able to transform the nature of spaces to suit their specific historical trajectory.

description: This paper explores the intersectionality of gender-based violence (GBV), immigrant and refugee women, and systemic discrimination within law enforcement institutions in Canada. Using the author’s own experiences as a crisis line volunteer worker at Battered Women’s Support Services (BWSS), this paper discusses the specific challenges faced by immigrant and refugee women survivors of GBV. The research delves into statistical data, previous studies on the subject, and incorporates insights from frontline workers who provide valuable perspectives into the intricate dynamics of oppression, patriarchy, and discrimination. Ultimately, this paper advocates for a comprehensive approach to dismantling oppression, emphasizing the need for education, training, and a thorough reevaluation of current practices and ideologies within the criminal justice system.

description: Generalized quantum measurements (also known as POVMs) are of great importance in quantum information and quantum foundations, but often difficult to perform. We present an experimental approach which can in principle be used to perform arbitrary POVMs in a linear-optical context. One of the most interesting POVMs, the SIC-POVM, is the most compact, set of measurements that can be used to fully describe a quantum state. We use our technique to carry out the first experimental characterization of the state of a qutrit using SIC-POVMs. Because of the highly symmetric nature of this measurement, such a representation has the unique property that it permits all other measurement outcomes to be predicted by a simple extension of the classical Bayesian sum rule, making no use of complex amplitudes or Hilbert-space operators. We demonstrate this approach on several qutrit states encoded in single photons.

description: The authors intention is to show that mathematical statistics can be learned by means of an adventure computer game. Probability and mathematical statistics provide students with the means for: 1) analyzing the environment, 2) establishing a mathematical model and 3) elaborating a prognosis. These 3 steps were transformed in levels of a serious game, called by us SPAS, Statistics and Probability for Alien Students. The main characters of the game emerged from an opinion poll realized with a second year BA group of students. The theoretical background required for completing the levels of the game is the knowledge corresponding to a second year course in Probability and Statistics.

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: We study equilibrium statistical mechanics of classical point counter-ions, formulated on 2D Euclidean space with logarithmic Coulomb interactions (infinite number of particles) or on the cylinder surface (finite particle numbers), in the vicinity of a single uniformly charged line (one single double-layer), or between two such lines (interacting double-layers). The weak-coupling Poisson-Boltzmann theory, which applies when the coupling constant Gamma is small, is briefly recapitulated (the coupling constant is defined as Gamma = beta e^2 where beta is the inverse temperature, and e the counter-ion charge). The opposite strong-coupling limit (Gamma -> infinity) is treated by using a recent method based on an exact expansion around the ground-state Wigner crystal of counter-ions. The weak- and strong-coupling theories are compared at intermediary values of the coupling constant Gamma=2 gamma (gamma=1,2,3), to exact results derived within a 1D lattice representation of 2D Coulomb systems in terms of anti-commuting field variables. The models (density profile, pressure) are solved exactly for any particles numbers N at Gamma=2 and up to relatively large finite N at Gamma=4 and 6. For the one-line geometry, the decay of the density profile at asymptotic distance from the line undergoes a fundamental change with respect to the mean-field behavior at Gamma=6. The like-charge attraction regime, possible in the strong coupling limit but precluded at mean-field level, survives for Gamma=4 and 6, but disappears at Gamma=2.

title: Building body identities - exploring the world of female bodybuilders
Creators: name: Bunsell, Tanya
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: This thesis explores how female bodybuilders seek to develop and maintain a viable sense of self despite being stigmatized by the gendered foundations of what Erving Goffman (1983) refers to as the 'interaction order'; the unavoidable presentational context in which identities are forged during the course of social life. Placed in the context of an overview of the historical treatment of women's bodies, and a concern with the development of bodybuilding as a specific form of body modification, the research draws upon a unique two year ethnographic study based in the South of England, complemented by interviews with twenty-six female bodybuilders, all of whom live in the U.K. By mapping these extraordinary women's lives, the research illuminates the pivotal spaces and essential lived experiences that make up the female bodybuilder. Whilst the women appear to be embarking on an 'empowering' radical body project for themselves, the consequences of their activity remains culturally ambivalent. This research exposes the 'Janus-faced' nature of female bodybuilding, exploring the ways in which the women negotiate, accommodate and resist pressures to engage in more orthodox and feminine activities and appearances.

description: In pure-penguin bbar -> sbar B -> V_1 V_2 decays (V_{1,2} are vector mesons), fT/fL ~= 1 has been observed (fT (fL) is the polarization fraction of transverse (longitudinal) decays). Explanations of this unexpectedly large result have been given within the standard model (SM) and with new physics (NP). In this paper, we show that these two explanations can be partially distinguished through the triple products (TP's) in these transitions. In particular, the SM predicts one of the two fake, CP-conserving TP's to be small (|A_T^{(2)}| <= 9%), while NP often gives larger values for |A_T^{(2)}|. We discuss the implications of the measurements of both fake TP's in B -> phi K* -- the present data prefer a SM explanation of fT/fL -- and provide the SM predictions for Bs -> phi phi.

From the exact values of the quasinormal frequencies for the fermion and boson fields we discuss whether the recently proposed bound on the relaxation time of a perturbed thermodynamical system is satisfied in D-dimensional massless topological black hole. Also we study the consequences of these results.

A rheological study of treatments for osteoarthritis
Creators: name: Chernos, Michael Benjamin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Osteoarthritis is a common joint disease causing pain and inflammation that limits mobility and functionality. Osteoarthritis is a widespread disease, and despite it's prevalence there is no cure. The disease progresses by degrading joint cartilage and synovial fluid. The current work aims to contribute to existing knowledge regarding osteoarthritis through three research projects including a rheological study of novel anti-inflammatory hyaluronic acid derivatives, a case study on the effects of oral glucosamine supplementation on synovial fluid viscosity, and development of a microfluidic rheometer that may be used to study low viscosity fluids such as hyaluronic acid and synovial fluid at high shear rates. The anti-inflammatory hyaluronic acid derivative demonstrated shear thinning and viscoelastic behaviour as expected. This behaviour is common among viscosupplements and is therefore promising for it's potential use as a viscosupplement, however, the viscosity and viscoelasticity were significantly lower than commercial viscosupplements. It is recommended to investigate modulating viscosity and viscoelasticity with techniques such as cross-linking and increasing hyaluronic acid concentration. In a patient discontinuing oral glucosamine supplementation the viscosity was found to be greater prior to stopping treatment at low shear rates and greater after stopping treatment at high shear rates. In a second patient no significant change was observed in viscosity. Future study should investigate the effect of glucosamine on viscoelastic behaviour, and to study the effect of glucosamine on synovial fluid viscosity over an extended period of time. A PDMS microfluidic rheometer was developed using a soft-lithography process. The rheometer was validated with water at room temperature and was found to predict fluid viscosity with a maximum of 6% error at shear rates as high as 30,000 s-¹. It is recommended to investigate possible channel deformation as a cause for decreased accuracy at higher shear rates and resultant operating pressures.

description: Für die Erfüllung der Anforderungen der Grünen Chemie stellt die Entwicklung neuer, effizienter und nachhaltiger Katalysemethoden einen entscheidenden Beitrag dar. Mit neuen Katalysatoren kann zum einen die Atomökonomie verbessert und die Menge an Abfallprodukten und organischen Lösungsmitteln verringert werden. Um organische Reaktionen in das Reaktionsmedium Wasser zu überführen, wurden in dieser Arbeit amphiphile Blockkcopolymere mit Hilfe der RAFT-Polymerisation synthetisiert. Diese sind in der Lage, oberhalb der kritischen Mizellbildungskonzentration Mizellen bzw. Nanoreaktoren auszubilden. Durch die Inkorporation katalytischer Spezies in den hydrophoben oder hydrophilen Teil der Polymere können die Nanoreaktoren als Katalysator verwendet werden. Dabei wurde zum einen die Sulfonsäure für die Acetalspaltung und zum anderen L-Prolin für die asymmetrische Aldolkopplung untersucht. Neben der Einzeluntersuchung der Systeme wurden die Systeme auch kombiniert, um eine orthogonale Tandemreaktion zu realisieren. Neben den beiden einzelnen mizellaren Systemen wurden hierbei auch kernvernetzte Nanopartikel sowie ein bifunktionelles mizellares System untersucht. Das säurefunktionalisierte System fand zudem Anwendung in der Synthese einer DNA-kodierten Bibliothek.

Benchmarking passive transfer of immunity and growth in dairy calves
Creators: name: Atkinson, Dax
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Poor health and growth of young dairy calves can have lasting effects on development and future production. This study aimed to benchmark calf-rearing outcomes in a cohort of Canadian dairy farms, report these findings back to producers alongside their veterinarians, and document the results. A total of 18 Holstein dairy farms, located in the Fraser Valley region of British Columbia, were recruited and surveyed on current colostrum and feed management practices of pre-weaned calves. Blood samples were collected from 1 to 7 day old calves to estimate serum total protein levels by digital refractometry. Failure of passive transfer (FPT) was determined using a total protein threshold of 5.2 g/dL. Average daily gains (ADG) were estimated from 1 to 70 day old pre-weaned heifers using heart-girth tape measurements with early (≤ 35 days) and late (> 35 days) period growth also analysed separately. At first assessment, the average farm FPT rate was 16%. Overall ADG was 0.68 kg/day, with early and late period growth rates of 0.50 and 0.86 kg/day, respectively. Following delivery of benchmark reports, all participants volunteered to undergo a second assessment. The majority (83%) of participants elected to make at least one colostrum or feed protocol change between data collection periods, including increased colostrum at first feeding, increased initial and maximum daily milk, and reduced time to first colostrum. Farms that made such changes experienced improved outcomes; average FPT rates were reduced by 9% and ADG was increased by 0.06 kg/day for all calves, and by 0.16 kg/day for calves less than 36 days old. These results indicate that benchmarking FPT and ADG can motivate producer engagement on calf care, leading to improved production and welfare outcomes for calves on farms that apply relevant management changes.

Computer search for curves with many points among abelian covers of genus 2 curves
Creators: name: Rökaeus, Karl
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Number Theory (math.NT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Using class field theory one associates to each curve C over a finite field, and each subgroup G of its divisor class group, unramified abelian covers of C whose genus is determined by the index of G. By listing class groups of curves of small genus one may get examples of curves with many points; we do this for all curves of genus 2 over the fields of cardinality 5,7,9,11,13 and 16, giving new entries for the tables of curves with many points (www.manYPoints.org).

Two-photon Double Ionization of H$_2$ in Intense Femtosecond Laser Pulses

description: Triple-differential cross sections for two-photon double ionization of molecular hydrogen are presented for a central photon energy of 30 eV. The calculations are based on a fully {\it ab initio}, nonperturbative, approach to the time-dependent Schroedinger equation in prolate spheroidal coordinates, discretized by a finite-element discrete-variable-representation. The wave function is propagated in time for a few femtoseconds using the short, iterative Lanczos method to study the correlated response of the two photoelectrons to short, intense laser radiation. The current results often lie in between those of Colgan {\it et al} [J. Phys. B {\bf 41} (2008) 121002] and Morales {\it et al} [J. Phys. B {\bf 41} (2009) 134013]. However, we argue that these individual predictions should not be compared directly to each other, but preferably to experimental data generated under well-defined conditions.

No uniform density star in general relativity
Creators: name: Mitra, Abhas
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: As per general relativity (GR), there cannot be any superluminal propagation of energy. And thus, the sound speed in a continuous medium, $c_s=\sqrt{dp/dρ}$, must be subluminal. However, if one would conceive of a {\em homogeneous} fluid, one would have $c_s=\infty$ unless pressure too would be homogeneous. Thus it is universally accepted that the maiden GR interior solution obtained by Schwarzschild, involving a homogeneous fluid having a boundary, is unphysical. However no one has ever shown how this exact solution is in reality devoid of physical reality. Also, this solution is universally used for approximate modelling of general relativistic stars and compact objects. But here first we show that in order that the Kretschmann scalar is continuous, one should have $ρ=0$ for strictly homogeneous static stars. Further, by invoking the fact that in GR, given one time label $t$ one can choose another time label $t_*=f(t)$ {\em without any loss of generality}, we obtain the same result that for a static homogeneous sphere $ρ=0$. Consequently, it is eventually found that the static homogeneous sphere having a boundary is just part of the vacuum where $c_s=0$ rather than $\infty$. Therefore all general relativistic stars must be inhomogeneous.

description: A Raman compression scheme suitable for x-rays, where the Langmuir wave is created by an intense beam rather than the pondermotive potential between the seed and pump pulses, is proposed. The required intensity of the seed and pump pulses enabling the compression could be mitigated by more than a factor of 100, compared to conventionally available other Raman compression schemes. The relevant wavelength of x-rays ranges from 1 to 10 nm.
A quantum mechanical analysis of the light-harvesting complex 2 from purple photosynthetic bacteria. Insights into the electrostatic effects of transmembrane helices
Creators: name: Pichierri, Fabio
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Biomolecules (q-bio.BM)
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: We perform a quantum mechanical study of the peptides that are part of the LH2 complex from Rhodopseudomonas acidophila, a non-sulfur purple bacteria that has the ability of producing chemical energy from photosynthesis. The electronic structure calculations indicate that the transmembrane helices of these peptides are characterized by dipole moments with a magnitude of ~150 D. When the full nonamer assembly made of eighteen peptides is considered, then a macrodipole of magnitude 704 D is built up from the vector sum of each monomer dipole. The macrodipole is oriented normal to the membrane plane and with the positive tip toward the cytoplasm thereby indicating that the electronic charge of the protein scaffold is polarized toward the periplasm. The results obtained here suggest that the asymmetric charge distribution of the protein scaffold contributes an anisotropic electrostatic environment which differentiates the absorption properties of the bacteriochlorophyll pigments, B800 and B850, embedded in the LH2 complex.
