title: The influence of boundary configurations on the dissipation and stability in fluids at low Reynolds numbers
Creators: name: Eigenbrod, Michael
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2021

description: The physical nature of boundaries that restrict the spreading of fluids or appear as interfaces between two immiscible fluids can have a significant influence on the static and dynamic properties of a fluidmechanical system. The aim of the present work is to investigate the influence of different boundary configurations on the energy dissipation and stability of fluid systems in the case of creeping flows, as they typically occur in microfluidic devices. The motion of charged interfacial microparticles induced by an applied electric field is theoretically investigated in this work. In addition to the functional relationship, which relates the velocity of the particle with the strength of the electric field and depends, among others, on the wetting properties of the particle, the deformation of the fluid interface is also determined, which results as a consequence of the charge of the particle and the resulting electric double layer, which is different in both bulk phases. The presence of multiple interfacial particles can effectively be described by a change in the rheological properties of the fluid interface. The theoretical model developed in this work is suitable for determining the effective shear and dilatation viscosity of the interface, which can be expressed as a function of the particle concentration and the contact angle of the particles. Microfluidic systems are typically characterized by a small volume-to-surface ratio, whereby the influence of the boundary conditions on the global properties of a flow increases dramatically. A charged, weakly deformed circular obstacle subjected to a pressure-driven flow can be isolated by a locally restricted electro-osmotic flow induced on the walls of the channel such that the hydrodynamic force on the body vanishes. The exact charge distribution that encloses the solid at the walls of the channel and provides hydrodynamic isolation, is determined theoretically and validated with the help of numerical simulations. The aim of many technical applications is to create an uniform liquid film on a flat surface. However, under certain external conditions, defects or holes can form which, if they are stable, may even lead to component failure. In the course of this work, a stability criterion is determined that predicts under which conditions the defects in spatially limited liquid films will self-heal. In addition, the dynamics of the closure of single circular defects is investigated theoretically and compared with experiments on different substrates. As an extension of the investigation on single defects in liquid films, a model is developed which predicts the temporal evolution of multiple defects. The theoretical results are validated by a comparison with experiments.
Children’s understanding of the interpretive nature of the mind
Creators: name: Lalonde, Christopher Edward
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Six studies were conducted to investigate young children's earliest insights into the interpretive nature of knowing, or the formation of what has been called an "Interpretive Theory of Mind." This insight was operationalized as the ability to recognize that two persons exposed to precisely the same information can, nonetheless, end up holding sharply different opinions about what is the self-same reality. All of the studies made use of a set of pictures fitted with covers such that most of the underlying picture was hidden, leaving only an ambiguous set of lines visible through a small viewing window. The key question asked concerned subjects' understanding that other persons who have not seen the full picture but only the restricted view, and who know nothing about the full contents of the picture, are all nevertheless free and able to hold different beliefs about what is depicted in this restricted view. An important feature of this procedure is that it can assess both subjects' understanding of simple false belief as well as their understanding of the interpretive possibilities that such stimuli afford. This feature was exploited to demonstrate that young persons who appreciate that beliefs can be false—an achievement that is commonly taken to mark the point of entry into a theory-like understanding of mental life—cannot always be counted on to also appreciate that different interpretations of the same stimulus are possible. By exploring children's reactions to inherently ambiguous stimuli that, by design, easily lend themselves to misinterpretation, it is possible to distinguish between a theory of mind that rests entirely on notions of false belief (i.e., one that views the mind as a recording device capable only of mistakes of ignorance), and a more complex appreciation of the mind's more active capacity for constructively interpreting—and so misinterpreting—reality. What these studies reveal is that an interpretive theory of mind is different from, and later arriving than, an appreciation of the possibility of false belief, and, contrary to competing claims, this interpretive theory actually makes its first appearance during, but not before, the early school years.
Economic Sanctions, well-being, and the duty to trade
Creators: name: Arancibia-Collao, Fernando
Publisher: name: Filosofia
Year: 2023

description: In this paper I would argue that, in the context of the ethics of economic sanctions, there is a duty to trade, and that duty is grounded in the practical and instrumental indispensability of trading for well-being of the people of the states. I understand well-being as the optimal conditions for survival and self-realization that states must warrant to people. I will answer the arguments against a duty to trade, as well as the arguments for a duty not to trade in those cases where the parties to the trade are dictatorships. I will develop my argument based on the metaethical argument about deliberative indispensability in favor of moral facts, developed by David Enoch, and raise an analogy with practical indispensability. The way of states to promote well-being is by trading. If trade is essential for survival, states have a strong prima facie duty to trade. If trade is not essential for survival, but nonetheless it is important for well-being, then states have a weak prima facie duty to trade.

Footpoint versus loop-top hard X-ray emission sources in solar flares
Creators: name: Tomczak, M.

Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The hard X-ray flux ratio R of the footpoint sources to the loop-top source has been used to investigate non-thermal electron trapping and precipitation in solar flares. Considering the mission-long Yohkoh Hard X-ray Telescope database, from which we selected 117 flares, we investigated a dependence of the ratio R on flare loop parameters like height h and column depth N. We used non-thermal electron beams as a diagnostic tool for magnetic convergence. The ratio R decreases with h which we interpret as an effect of converging field geometry. Two branches seen in the R-h diagram suggest that in the solar corona two kinds of magnetic loops can exist: a more-converged ones that are more frequent (above 80%) and less-converged loops that are less frequent (below 20%). A lack of correlation between the ratio R and N can be due to a more complex configuration of investigated events than seen in soft X-rays. Obtained values of the magnetic mirror ratio are consistent with previous works and suggest a strongly nonpotential configuration. Further investigation including RHESSI data is needed to verify our results.

description: This study first identifies the areas of greatest perceived difficulty for native English speakers learning Mandarin Chinese at the secondary level. Then, the study identifies commonly used Chinese character learning strategies employed by the students in order to identify areas for further research. Thirty-four students in Chinese classes at a high school in Maryland were involved in this study. 23 students were currently enrolled in their second year of Chinese, four had completed their second year of study, and seven had discontinued their study after one year. Based on a descriptive analysis of a survey of character-learning strategies, fourteen strategies are identified with four being the most commonly used by the learners.

description: The luminescence yield of transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers frequently suffers from the formation of long-lived dark states, which include excitons with intervalley charge carriers, spin-forbidden transitions, and a large center-of-mass momentum located outside the light cone of dispersion relations. Efficient relaxation from bright exciton states to dark states suppresses the quantum yield of photon emission. In addition, the radiative recombination of excitons is heavily influenced by Auger-type exciton-exciton scattering, which yields another nonradiative relaxation channel at room temperature. Here, we show that Auger-type scattering is promoted not only between (bright) excitons but also between excitons and long-lived dark states. We studied the luminescence dynamics of monolayer WS2 capped with hexagonal BN over broad time ranges of picoseconds to milliseconds using carefully designed pump-and-probe techniques. We observed that luminescence quenching associated with Auger-type scattering occurs on 1-100 microsecond time scales, which thus correspond to the lifetimes of the relevant dark states. The broad distribution of the measured lifetimes implies the impact of various types of long-lived states on the exciton annihilation process.

description: The computing continuum extends the high-performance cloud data centers with energy-efficient and low-latency devices close to the data sources located at the edge of the network. However, the heterogeneity of the computing continuum raises multiple challenges related to application management. These include where to offload an application - from the cloud to the edge - to meet its computation and communication requirements. To support these decisions, we provide in this article a detailed performance and carbon footprint analysis of a selection of use case applications with complementary resource requirements across the computing continuum over a real-life evaluation testbed.

description: The data throughput of massive spectroscopic surveys in the course of each observation is directly coordinated with the number of optical fibers which reach their target. In this paper, we evaluate the safety and the performance of the astrobots coordination in SDSS-V by conducting various experimental and simulated tests. We illustrate that our strategy provides a complete coordination condition which depends on the operational characteristics of astrobots, their configurations, and their targets. Namely, a coordination method based on the notion of cooperative artificial potential fields is used to generate safe and complete trajectories for astrobots. Optimal target assignment further improves the performance of the used algorithm in terms of faster convergences and less oscillatory movements. Both random targets and galaxy catalog targets are employed to observe the coordination success of the algorithm in various target distributions. The proposed method is capable of handling all potential collisions in the course of coordination. Once the completeness condition is fulfilled according to initial configuration of astrobots and their targets, the algorithm reaches full convergence of astrobots. Should one assign targets to astrobots using efficient strategies, convergence time as well as the number of oscillations decrease in the course of coordination. Rare incomplete scenarios are simply resolved by trivial modifications of astrobots swarms' parameters.

Suspend the bridge : community power, regime theory and the decision to build Vancouver’s Lions’ Gate Bridge
Creators: name: Parslow, Katharine Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In recent years, regime theorists have begun to examine the question of community power in cities and to address criticisms made against the older elite and pluralist schools of interpretation. Regime theory argues that political power is neither centered in the hands of an elite as suggested by the elite theorists, nor equally distributed among all members of the city as argued by pluralists. On the contrary, regime theory contends that an informal coalition forms between government and private interests to develop and implement urban policy initiatives. Despite regime theory's contribution to the community power debate, it still requires refinement. The interwar decision to build Vancouver's Lions Gate Bridge provides an excellent opportunity to test and refine regime theory analysis. The bridge decision demonstrates that while the pro-development coalition sought alliances and support from typical regime members such as local government and community organizations, opposition from elements within the business community, who were tied to Canada's natural resource sector, arose against the urban initiative. During both the 1926-27 and 1930s attempts to build the bridge, opponents looked to the federal government for support. The opposition succeeded in convincing the federal Department of Public Works to reject the bridge proposal in 1926-27 and Prime Minister Bennett's Conservative government to do the same in 1934. As a result of the opponents' actions, the bridge coalition had to seek compensatory support from the federal Liberal party once it formed the national government in 1935. The larger significance of this case study of urban decision making is that regime theory needs to take into account the national context in regime formation. Scholars employing a regime theory approach to community power should not assume a coherent and united business sector in cities such as Vancouver, and must account for the role of opposition in moulding a successful coalition.

description: MOTIVATION: The use of oligonucleotide microarray technology requires a very detailed attention to the design of specific probes spotted on the solid phase. These problems are far from being commonplace since they refer to complex physicochemical constraints. Whereas there are more and more publicly available programs for microarray oligonucleotide design, most of them use the same algorithm or criteria to design oligos, with only little variation. RESULTS: We show that classical approaches used in oligo design software may be inefficient under certain experimental conditions, especially when dealing with complex target mixtures. Indeed, our biological model is a human obligate parasite, the microsporidia Encephalitozoon cuniculi. Targets that are extracted from biological samples are composed of a mixture of pathogen transcripts and host cell transcripts. We propose a new approach to design oligonucleotides which combines good specificity with a potentially high sensitivity. This approach is original in the biological point of view as well as in the algorithmic point of view. We also present an experimental validation of this new strategy by comparing results obtained with standard oligos and with our composite oligos. A specific E.cuniculi microarray will overcome the difficulty to discriminate the parasite mRNAs from the host cell mRNAs demonstrating the power of the microarray approach to elucidate the lifestyle of an intracellular pathogen using mix mRNAs.

Hagiotoponyms in France: Saint popularity, like a herding phase transition

description: A spectacular order-order-like transition is presented in the distribution of hagiotoponyms in France. Data analysis and displays distinguish male and female cases. The respective hapax values point to a very large variety of saints with a specific devotion. The most popular ones are St. Martin and the apostles. The less popular ones are not so well known. These features are explained in terms of herding in agent behaviors: people have either preferred popular saints with supposedly good links to God, whence a herding behavior, or (non-herding) agents have preferred to name their local human settlement through a reference to some holy person(s) with more local specificities -- yet with moral or religious leadership, and conjectured to have good contact with God, whence at least locally defined as a saint.

A fast Bayesian approach to discrete object detection in astronomical datasets - PowellSnakes I
Creators: name: Carvalho, Pedro

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A new fast Bayesian approach is introduced for the detection of discrete objects immersed in a diffuse background. This new method, called PowellSnakes, speeds up traditional Bayesian techniques by: i) replacing the standard form of the likelihood for the parameters characterizing the discrete objects by an alternative exact form that is much quicker to evaluate; ii) using a simultaneous multiple minimization code based on Powell's direction set algorithm to locate rapidly the local maxima in the posterior; and iii) deciding whether each located posterior peak corresponds to a real object by performing a Bayesian model selection using an approximate evidence value based on a local Gaussian approximation to the peak. The construction of this Gaussian approximation also provides the covariance matrix of the uncertainties in the derived parameter values for the object in question. This new approach provides a speed up in performance by a factor of `hundreds' as compared to existing Bayesian source extraction methods that use MCMC to explore the parameter space, such as that presented by Hobson & McLachlan. We illustrate the capabilities of the method by applying to some simplified toy models. Furthermore PowellSnakes has the advantage of consistently defining the threshold for acceptance/rejection based on priors which cannot be said of the frequentist methods. We present here the first implementation of this technique (Version-I). Further improvements to this implementation are currently under investigation and will be published shortly. The application of the method to realistic simulated Planck observations will be presented in a forthcoming publication.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine if a modified version of the Skillstreaming curriculum, incorporated into a whole class morning circle routine, would be effective in reducing students’ non-independently solved conflicts, or conflicts that necessitated teacher intervention. The measurement tool was a researcher created tally mark system for tracking the number of non-independently solved student conflicts. The study involved a pre-experimental one group pre-test, post-test design to measure the data collected from the tally mark system. The results of the data showed no significant difference in the pre and post data. However, due to researcher observations of other results in the sample group that were not captured in the data, further research on this intervention is merited. Problems stemming from students’ lack of social skills and impacting students’ academic, behavioral and social development are widely acknowledged in the research. While the data in this study does not show a statistically significant difference, there is potential for further investigation and intervention to improve students’ abilities to deal with peer conflict.
title: The Ateneo Mexicano : the cultural constellation of mid-nineteenth century Mexico, 1840-1850
Creators: name: Madrigal Hernández, Erika
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2019

description: This thesis is about a forgotten group, made up of the leading Mexican intellectuals and politicians of the 1840s, who put aside their different party interests and came together, to form the Ateneo Mexicano, an educational institution with its own journal that was committed to fostering Mexican culture. Studied here for the first time, the present study offers a sense of who the ateneístas were, what they were hoping to achieve, and how they set about attempting to do so, at a time of acute political instability. The central argument of this thesis revolves around how the cultural constellation of the Ateneo Mexicano (1840-1850) set about creating a national literary discourse. Furthermore, it argues that its intellectual nationalism went beyond the creation of a new national poetry, in the way that its members developed a multidisciplinary and practical approach to knowledge. This study contends that the Ateneo Mexicano’s cultural project, involved promoting a sociocultural vision that was meant to reach out to and include the wider public, in an attempt to instil a sense of nationhood among the population at a critical time in which Mexico was undergoing a crisis of confidence.

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of The Good Behavior Game on
the frequency of disruptive behaviors that were exhibited in a classroom setting. This
study utilized a quasi-experimental design with a pre-measure, treatment, and postmeasure
and included 15 students enrolled in a Baltimore County public school. The
participants in this study ranged in age from 6-7 and were in first grade. The study
hypothesized that participation in The Good Behavior Game, which involved the students
in establishing and following clearly stated rules and provided incentives for success,
would have no effect on the frequency of targeted disruptive behaviors. These behaviors
included not following directions, unnecessary talking, unnecessary movement, and
making noises. The hypothesis was rejected as all four targeted disruptive behaviors
decreased over the course of the study. Three out of four of the targeted disruptive
behaviors, excluding not following directions, decreased significantly over intervals of
the study. Further study of the usefulness of The Good Behavior Game and similar
interventions appears warranted.

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of teaching and using self-regulation strategies on fourth graders’ motivation and reading homework completion. Several instruments were used in this study, including a Self-Monitoring Sheet for Reading Homework (SMS), an Academic Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SRQ-A) and the Self Regulated Learning Interview Sheet to determine motivation levels and assess completion of and performance on daily homework assignments. This study used a quasi-experimental design. SRQ-A and the other criteria were compared after a five week intervention in which the treatment group learned and uses self-regulatory strategies and reflected on their homework completion and performance. Gains in reading homework achievement and confidence levels were significant. Given these findings, future research might focus on how self-regulated learning strategies can be used most effectively across subject areas and developmental stages.

description: This study was designed to determine the impact that differential reinforcement of appropriate behavior (DRA) and non-verbal responses to disruptive behavior had on reducing the occurrence of behavior that was disruptive to instruction in a high school classroom. Disruptive behavior was defined as inappropriate talking, shouting out, and/or noise-making during instruction. This study utilized a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test separated by a period of one month. The dependent variable was the number of inappropriate verbalizations and noise-making made during the introductory drill by selected students for a one-week period. The independent variable was the teacher’s statements praising non-disruptive behavior and the non-verbal actions used to address disruptive behavior starting with teacher proximity, continuing with providing a picture of closed mouth with a silencing finger, and ending with planned ignoring for four minutes before verbal redirection. The participants in this research were five students aged fourteen to eighteen with high records of prior disruptive behavior in the researcher’s Fundamentals of Art class. This study did not find a significant difference in the mean number of disruptive behaviors exhibited by the participants in the pre-test and post-test, t (4) = 1.34, p = .25. The number of disruptive behaviors did decline slightly in the post-test, and this slight reduction suggests that the intervention might have been more effective if administered for a longer duration.

description: Reading comprehension is a complex process often made increasingly difficult as readers are faced with content oriented reading material. The purpose of this study was to determine whether reciprocal teaching in the small group setting has an effect on reading comprehension. It was predicted that small group reciprocal teaching will have no significant effect on third grade students’ reading comprehension. Over the six weeks, students received reciprocal reading instruction designed to help internalize reading strategies that according to research, enhance comprehension. Results suggested small group reciprocal teaching had a positive effect on reading comprehension. When reciprocal teaching was applied in the small group setting, these participants demonstrated an increase in their comprehension.

description: Aims: To determine how patients with chronic wounds describe wound odour, identify what strategies they use to manage it and how effective these are. Materials and methods: Using a qualitative descriptive approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted between July and August 2021 with seven patients living with an odorous chronic wound at home. Data were analysed using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis framework. Results: The results were organised into two main themes: 1) becoming resigned to living with wound-related odour 2) strategies used to manage wound-related odour. Participants were sad, embarrassed and felt isolated but became resigned to living with this odour and accepting of it as a consequence of having a wound. Frequent dressing changes, household cleaning along with the use of sprays were the most frequently used tactics to manage odour none of which were deemed to be very effective. Conclusion: This study highlights the problem of odour management in clinical practice and how individuals develop strategies to overcome odour. Sadly, patients were resigned to living with wound odour and were accepting of it as part of daily life. This highlights the importance for healthcare professionals to recognise, assess for and ensure a better understanding of how people experience wound odour, the impact it can have on them personally. Frequent dressing changes can help manage wound odour from the patient’s perspective.

description: One of the most common and important destructive attacks on the victim system is Advanced Persistent Threat (APT)-attack. The APT attacker can achieve his hostile goals by obtaining information and gaining financial benefits regarding the infrastructure of a network. One of the solutions to detect a secret APT attack is using network traffic. Due to the nature of the APT attack in terms of being on the network for a long time and the fact that the network may crash because of high traffic, it is difficult to detect this type of attack. Hence, in this study, machine learning methods such as C5.0 decision tree, Bayesian network and deep neural network are used for timely detection and classification of APT-attacks on the NSL-KDD dataset. Moreover, 10-fold cross validation method is used to experiment these models. As a result, the accuracy (ACC) of the C5.0 decision tree, Bayesian network and 6-layer deep learning models is obtained as 95.64%, 88.37% and 98.85%, respectively, and also, in terms of the important criterion of the false positive rate (FPR), the FPR value for the C5.0 decision tree, Bayesian network and 6-layer deep learning models is obtained as 2.56, 10.47 and 1.13, respectively. Other criterions such as sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, false negative rate and F-measure are also investigated for the models, and the experimental results show that the deep learning model with automatic multi-layered extraction of features has the best performance for timely detection of an APT-attack comparing to other classification models.

The citizenship law of Perokles, 451/0 B.C.
Creators: name: Papageogiou, Antiope P.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The idea for this paper originated from a seminar given on the restoration of democracy at Athens and the reconciliation agreement of 403/2 B.C. The re-affirmation of Perikles' citizenship law in that year prompted me to explore the reasons for its introduction in 451/0 B.C., and, subsequently, to make it the subject of my Masters thesis. I have divided the paper into three chapters. Chapter One functions as an introduction to the sources on Perikles' citizenship law and to the Athenian concept of citizenship. In Chapter Two, I consider the question whether there was a precedent for the law. Accordingly, I explore the evidence for the qualifications necessary for membership, most of which is indirect and involves an examination of the admission procedures of the phratry and deme. Finally, Chapter Three is devoted entirely to Perikles' citizenship law, to the effects it must have had on the admission procedures of phratry and deme, and to the reasons behind its introduction.

description: The purpose of this study was to compare reading performance among third, fourth, and fifth grade students who participated in instrumental music instruction with performance of those who did not participate in instrumental music instruction. The measurement tool for reading performance was the Fountas and Pinnell Benchmark Assessment, 2nd edition. This study used a pretest/posttest design to compare reading level data from October
2013 to reading level data from May 2014 for students participating or not participating in instrumental music instruction. Students participating in band and strings performed significantly better than those who did not, though results could be attributable to a number of factors. Research in the area of music instruction’s benefits to reading performance should continue to better determine the amount and type of instruction that is most useful as well as the specific ways in which music can improve student performance.
The Effects of After-School Test Preparatory Program on the High School Assessment Scores of English Language Learners Enrolled in American Government

description: The study evaluated the effects of an after-school program on the test scores of ninth grade English Language Learners enrolled in an American Government class. The English Language Learners had the option of attending voluntary, weekly, one-hour, after-school sessions. The after-school sessions focused on vocabulary development, selected response strategies, and written strategies. The control group consisted of seventeen students who did not attend any sessions. The experimental group consisted of nine students who attended at least half of the ten sessions. Six students who attended some, but less than half, of the sessions were excluded from the study. The students in both groups were of varying levels of English fluency and from a variety of countries of origin. A pre-test was given to ensure that the groups did not differ significantly and a post-test was given after the ten sessions to determine the impact of participation in the intervention. The experimental group had significantly higher mean percentage scores (Mean = 66.33, SD = 16.30) on a High School Assessment style Government test than the control group (Mean = 32.82, SD = 12.86) [t(24) = -5.77, p < .001]. Implications and ideas for future research are discussed.
