Gender, flexibility and the public sector in British Columbia
Creators: name: Reimer, Suzanne Mary
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: The thesis considers the use of flexible employment practices in the public sector in British Columbia. Despite attempts by successive Social Credit administrations to reduce the size of government, employment in the provincial public sector has increased since the mid 1970s. However, the number of full-time, unionised workers has declined since 1975. Increasingly, clerical positions in various Ministries have been filled by temporary agency workers, while other government jobs have been subcontracted. In an effort to move beyond the core/periphery and numerical/functional dualisms characteristic of much of the flexibility literature, I consider the gendering of particular types of flexibility, including temporary work and subcontracting. The focus upon changes in government employment practices is also an attempt to illuminate the role of flexible working in the public sector, which has been largely overlooked in debates surrounding flexibility. The thesis draws primarily upon interview data from two case studies: one of the British Columbia Buildings Corporation, and another of clerical workers in the Ministry of Social Services.

description: We analyze recent AMS-02 comic-ray measurements of Lithium, Beryllium, Boron, Carbon, Nitrogen and Oxygen. The emphasis of the analysis is on systematic uncertainties related to propagation and nuclear cross sections. To investigate the uncertainties in the propagation scenario, we consider five different frameworks, differing with respect to the inclusion of a diffusion break at a few GV, the presence of reacceleration, and the presence of a break in the injection spectra of primaries. For each framework we fit the diffusion equations of cosmic rays and explore the parameter space with Monte Carlo methods. At the same time, the impact of the uncertainties in the nuclear production cross sections of secondaries is explicitly considered and included in the fit through the use of nuisance parameters. We find that all the considered frameworks are able to provide a good fit. In particular, two competing scenarios, one including a break in diffusion but no reacceleration and the other with reacceleration but no break in diffusion are both allowed. The inclusion of cross-section uncertainties is, however, crucial, to this result. Thus, at the moment, these uncertainties represent a fundamental systematic preventing a deeper understanding of the properties of CR propagation. We find, nonetheless, that the slope of diffusion at intermediate rigidities is robustly constrained in the range $δ\simeq0.45-0.5$ in models without convection, or $δ\simeq0.4-0.5$ if convection is included in the fit. Furthermore, we find that the use of the AMS-02 Beryllium data provides a lower limit on the vertical size of the Galactic propagation halo of $z_\mathrm{h}\gtrsim3$ kpc.

description: We prove the equivalence between adiabatic quantum computation and quantum computation in the circuit model. An explicit adiabatic computation procedure is given that generates a ground state from which the answer can be extracted. The amount of time needed is evaluated by computing the gap. We show that the procedure is computationally efficient.

Can the nature of $a_0(980)$ be tested in the $D_s^{+}\to π^{+}π^0 η$ decay?

description: From the amplitude analysis of the $D^+_s \to π^+ π^0 η$ decay, the BESIII Collaboration firstly observed the $D^+_s \to a_0(980)^+π^0$ and $D^+_s \to a_0(980)^0π^+$ decay modes, which are expected to occur through the pure $W$-annihilation processes. The measured branching fraction $\mathcal{B}[D_{s}^{+}\to a_{0}(980)^{+(0)}π^{0(+)},a_{0}(980)^{+(0)}\to π^{+(0)}η]$ is, however, found to be larger than those of known $W$-annihilation decays by one order of magnitude. This apparent contradiction can be reconciled if the two decays are induced by internal $W$-conversion or external $W$-emission mechanisms instead of $W$-annihilation mechanism. In this work, we propose that the $D^+_s$ decay proceeds via both the external and internal $W$-emission instead of $W$-annihilation mechanisms. In such a scenario, we perform a study of the $D^+_s \to π^+π^0η$ decay by taking into account the contributions from the tree diagram $D^+_s \to ρ^+ η\to π^+ π^0 η$ and the intermediate $ρ^+ η$ and $K^*\bar{K}/K\bar{K}^*$ triangle diagrams. The intermediate $a_0(980)$ state can be dynamically generated from the final state interactions of coupled $K \bar{K}$ and $πη$ channels, and it is shown that the experimental data can be described fairly well, which supports the interpretation of $a_0(980)$ as a molecular state.

description: Bohmian mechanics is an alternative interpretation of quantum mechanics. We outline the main characteristics of its non-relativistic formulation. Most notably it does provide a simple solution to the infamous measurement problem of quantum mechanics. Presumably the most common objection against Bohmian mechanics is based on its non-locality and its apparent conflict with relativity and quantum field theory. However, several models for a quantum field theoretical generalization do exist. We give a non-technical account of some of these models.

description: Although emotions are universal concepts, transferring the different shades of emotion from one language to another may not always be straightforward for human translators, let alone for machine translation systems. Moreover, the cognitive states are established by verbal explanations of experience which is shaped by both the verbal and cultural contexts. There are a number of verbal contexts where expression of emotions constitutes the pivotal component of the message. This is particularly true for User-Generated Content (UGC) which can be in the form of a review of a product or a service, a tweet, or a social media post. Recently, it has become common practice for multilingual websites such as Twitter to provide an automatic translation of UGC to reach out to their linguistically diverse users. In such scenarios, the process of translating the user's emotion is entirely automatic with no human intervention, neither for post-editing nor for accuracy checking. In this research, we assess whether automatic translation tools can be a successful real-life utility in transferring emotion in user-generated multilingual data such as tweets. We show that there are linguistic phenomena specific of Twitter data that pose a challenge in translation of emotions in different languages. We summarise these challenges in a list of linguistic features and show how frequent these features are in different language pairs. We also assess the capacity of commonly used methods for evaluating the performance of an MT system with respect to the preservation of emotion in the source text.

description: The point-splitting renormalization method offers a prescription to calculate finite expectation values of quadratic operators constructed from quantum fields in a general curved spacetime. It has been recently shown by Levi and Ori that when the background metric possesses an isometry, like stationary or spherically symmetric black holes, the method can be upgraded into a pragmatic procedure of renormalization that produces efficient numerical calculations. In this note we show that when the background enjoys three-dimensional spatial symmetries, like homogeneous expanding universes, the above pragmatic regularization technique reduces to the well established adiabatic regularization method.

description: Recent results, extending the Schmidt decomposition theorem to wavefunctions of identical particles, are reviewed. They are used to give a definition of reduced density operators in the case of two identical particles. Next, a method is discussed to calculate time averaged entanglement. It is applied to a pair of identical electrons in an otherwise empty band of the Hubbard model, and to a pair of bosons in the the Bose-Hubbard model with infinite range hopping. The effect of degeneracy of the spectrum of the Hamiltonian on the average entanglement is emphasised.

description: We discuss the issue of quasi-particle production by ``analogue black holes'' with particular attention to the possibility of reproducing Hawking radiation in a laboratory. By constructing simple geometric acoustic models, we obtain a somewhat unexpected result: We show that in order to obtain a stationary and Planckian emission of quasi-particles, it is not necessary to create an ergoregion in the acoustic spacetime (corresponding to a supersonic regime in the flow). It is sufficient to set up a dynamically changing flow either eventually generating an arbitrarily small sonic region v=c, but without any ergoregion, or even just asymptotically, in laboratory time, approaching a sonic regime with sufficient rapidity.

We calculate these corrections using a completely numerical method that combines sector decomposition to extract infrared singularities with contour deformation of the Feynman parameter integrals to avoid internal loop thresholds. The NLO QCD corrections to pp -> ZZZ are approximately 50%, and are badly underestimated by the leading order scale dependence. However, the kinematic dependence of the corrections is minimal in phase space regions accessible at leading order.

Differences between discontinuous and continuous soft-core attractive potentials: the appearance of density anomaly

description: Soft-core attractive potentials can give rise to a phase diagram with three fluid phases at different densities (gas, low-density liquid and high-density liquid), separated by first order phase transition lines ending in critical points. Experiments show a phase diagram with these features for phosphorous and triphenyl-phosphite. Liquid-liquid phase transition could be relevant for water, silica, liquid metals, colloids and protein solutions, among others. Here we compare two potentials with short-range soft-core repulsion and narrow attraction. One of them is a squared potential that is known to have liquid-liquid phase transition, ending in a critical point, and no anomaly in density. The normal, monotonic, behavior of density for isobaric cooling is surprising if compared with molecular liquids, such as water, where a hypothetical critical point is proposed as rationale for the anomalous behavior of density. The second potential is a continuous version of the first. We show that the phase diagram associated to this new potential has, not only the liquid-liquid phase transition, but also the density anomaly. Our result, therefore, shows that the behavior in density is strongly dependent on the derivative of the potential.

description: Face-to-face speech data collection has been next to impossible globally due to COVID-19 restrictions. To address this problem, simultaneous recordings of three repetitions of the cardinal vowels were made using a Zoom H6 Handy Recorder with external microphone (henceforth H6) and compared with two alternatives accessible to potential participants at home: the Zoom meeting application (henceforth Zoom) and two lossless mobile phone applications (Awesome Voice Recorder, and Recorder; henceforth Phone). F0 was tracked accurately by all devices; however, for formant analysis (F1, F2, F3) Phone performed better than Zoom, i.e. more similarly to H6, though data extraction method (VoiceSauce, Praat) also resulted in differences. In addition, Zoom recordings exhibited unexpected drops in intensity. The results suggest that lossless format phone recordings present a viable option for at least some phonetic studies.

description: In this work, we use a combined approach of Hubble parameter data together with redshift-space-distortion $(fσ_8)$ data, which together are used to reconstruct the teleparallel gravity (TG) Lagrangian via Gaussian processes (GP). The adopted Hubble data mainly comes from cosmic chronometers, while for the Type Ia supernovae data we use the latest jointly calibrated Pantheon compilation. Moreover, we consider two main GP covariance functions, namely the squared-exponential and Cauchy kernels in order to show consistency (to within 1$σ$ uncertainties). The core results of this work are the numerical reconstructions of the TG Lagrangian from GP reconstructed Hubble and growth data. We take different possible combinations of the datasets and kernels to illustrate any potential differences in this regard. We show that nontrivial cosmology beyond $Λ$CDM falls within the uncertainties of the reconstructions from growth data, which therefore indicates no significant departure from the concordance cosmological model.

description: Contrary to the quark mixing matrix, the lepton mixing matrix could be symmetric. We study the phenomenological consequences of this possibility. In particular, we find that symmetry would imply that |U_{e3}| is larger than 0.16, i.e., above its current 2 sigma limit. The other mixing angles are also constrained and CP violating effects in neutrino oscillations are suppressed, even though |U_{e3}| is sizable. Maximal atmospheric mixing is only allowed if the other observables are outside their current 3 sigma ranges, and sin^2 theta_{23} lies typically below 0.5. The Majorana phases are not affected, but the implied values of the solar neutrino mixing angle have some effect on the predictions for neutrinoless double beta decay. We further discuss some formal properties of a symmetric mixing matrix.

Year: 2008

description: This project focuses on the documentation and analysis of folk medicines used by the Carrier people in northcentral British Columbia. It includes the traditional and contemporary plant knowledge of the medicinal properties of the plants, as well as methods used to prepare and administer herbal remedies. A collection of voucher specimens of the prepared medicinal plants and the plants from which they were derived accompanies this project. Important Carrier medicinal plants include: Abies lasiocarpa, Alnus incana, Arctostaphylos uva-ursi, Artemisia frigida. Fragaria virginiana, Juniperus communis, Picea glauca, Pinus contorta, Populus tremuloides, Rubus idaeus, Salix sp. and Shepherdia canadensis. The antimicrobial properties of some of the medicines were evaluated to determine the therapeutic properties of traditional herbal preparations. Using the disk diffusion method aqueous medicinal preparations, pitch preparations and methanolic extracts were screened against five known human pathogens: Escherichia coli, Staphlyococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus. The results indicated definite antimicrobial activity in the pitch preparations of Picea glauca and Pinus contorta and provide a starting point for the pharmacognostic evaluation of these plants. In addition, a cytoxicity assay - colorimetric method - was used to test the anticancer activity of the methanolic extracts of Alnus incana and Shepherdia canadensis against mouse mastocytoma cells. Preliminary results indicated that A. incana possessed definite anticancer properties. S. canadensis also produced some cytotoxic activity, although not as great as that produced by A. incana. The study provides further evidence to support the pharmacological validity of Native herbal medicines.

description: The mass-accretion rate, Macc, is a crucial parameter for the study of the evolution of accretion disks around young low-mass stellar objects (YSOs) and for planet formation studies. The Taurus star forming region (SFR) is rich in pre-main sequence (PMS) stars, most of them of the T Tauri class. A variety of methodologies have been used in the past to measure mass accretion in samples of YSOs in Taurus, but despite being a general benchmark for star formation studies, a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the Taurus T Tauri population, where the stellar and accretion properties are derived homogeneously and simultaneously, is still missing. As part of the GIARPS High-resolution Observations of T Tauri stars (GHOsT) project, here we present a pilot study of the stellar and accretion properties of seven YSOs in Taurus using the spectrograph GIARPS at the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG). Contemporaneous low-resolution spectroscopic and photometric ancillary observations allow us to perform an accurate flux calibration of the high-resolution spectra. The simultaneity of the high-resolution, wide-band spectroscopic observations, from the optical to the near-infrared (NIR), the veiling measurements in such wide spectral range, and many well-calibrated emission line diagnostics allows us to derive the stellar and accretion properties of the seven YSOs in a homogeneous and self-consistent way. The procedures and methodologies presented here will be adopted in future works for the analysis of the complete GHOsT data set. We discuss the accretion properties of the seven YSOs in comparison with the 90\% complete sample of YSOs in the Lupus SFR and investigate possibilities for the origin of the continuum excess emission in the NIR. }
The effect of turbulent intermittency on the deflagration to detonation transition in SN Ia explosions

description: We examine the effects of turbulent intermittency on the deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) in Type Ia supernovae. The Zel'dovich mechanism for DDT requires the formation of a nearly isothermal region of mixed ash and fuel that is larger than a critical size. We primarily consider the hypothesis by Khokhlov et al. and Niemeyer and Woosley that the nearly isothermal, mixed region is produced when the flame makes the transition to the distributed regime. We use two models for the distribution of the turbulent velocity fluctuations to estimate the probability as a function of the density in the exploding white dwarf that a given region of critical size is in the distributed regime due to strong local turbulent stretching of the flame structure. We also estimate lower limits on the number of such regions as a function of density. We find that the distributed regime, and hence perhaps DDT, occurs in a local region of critical size at a density at least a factor of 2-3 larger than predicted for mean conditions that neglect intermittency. This factor brings the transition density to be much larger than the empirical value from observations in most situations. We also consider the intermittency effect on the more stringent conditions for DDT by Lisewski et al. and Woosley. We find that a turbulent velocity of $10^8$ cm/s in a region of size $10^6$ cm, required by Lisewski et al., is rare. We expect that intermittency gives a weaker effect on the Woosley model with stronger criterion. The predicted transition density from this criterion remains below $10^7$ g/cm$^3$ after accounting for intermittency using our intermittency models.

description: The SUSTAIN-6G, launched in January 2025, acts as the Lighthouse project on sustainability and 6G in Europe. It will lead the way towards a holistic perspective of sustainability in the context of 6G. To this end, the project aims to address the key areas of sustainability covering environmental, societal, economic aspects. As per the Description of Work (DoW) the goal is to cover “the diverse dimensions of sustainability in 6G, sustainable 6G technology and 6G for sustainability in vertical scenarios, in an End-to-End (E2E) manner and considering the full lifecycle of assets”. The scope of SUSTAIN-6G is to identify the cross-points between what sustainability needs are, how sustainability can be defined and assessed qualitatively and quantitatively, which challenges of 6G, and verticals need consideration, what solutions 6G should provide and how it should be designed to address these challenges, and how society and economy can be impacted to benefit from responsible innovation. The project will be the driving force for activities that are – and will be conducted – towards improving sustainability, by linking research and innovation from previous and ongoing projects (including Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS-JU) projects, Coordination and Support Actions (CSAs), and relevant nationally funded projects).This deliverable, D7.1, titled “Website and social media” focuses on the Website and Social Media presence and provides an overview of the project's online presence and digital outreach. Both the platforms present, discuss and publish the important technological and scientific results of the project. This document details the strategy including the target audiences, the list of objectives, the planned activities, the templates and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) used to monitor and evaluate the performance of Website and social media. The communication strategy makes use of the public website and different social media accounts, to engage communities, highlight and raise awareness to the project developments.

description: Twistronic assembly of 2D materials employs the twist angle between adjacent layers as a tuning parameter for designing the electronic and optical properties of van der Waals heterostructures. Here, we study how interlayer hybridization, weak ferroelectric charge transfer between layers, and piezoelectric response to deformations set the valence and conduction band edges across the moir{é} supercell in twistronic homobilayers of MoS$_2$, MoSe$_2$, WS$_2$ and WSe$_2$. We show that, due to the lack of inversion symmetry in the monolayer crystals, bilayers with parallel (P) and anti-parallel (AP) unit cell orientations display contrasting behaviors. For P-bilayers at small twist angles we find band edges in the middle of triangular domains of preferential stacking. In AP-bilayers at marginal twist angles ($θ_{AP} < 1^\circ$) the band edges are located in small regions around the intersections of domain walls, giving highly localized quantum dot states.

description: Thermoelectric power sensors are widely used in commercial power meters at RF and microwaves, due to their superior robustness, stability, and accuracy if compared with other types of power sensors. Furthermore, their electrical architecture and related performance turned out to be very useful in the realization of the broadband primary power standards as alternative to resistive power sensors, i.e. bolometers. Hereby we present a comparison in term of effective efficiency of a thermoelectric sensor calibrated by applying two different methods of power substitution when used as thermal load in a coaxial microcalorimeter at RF and microwaves. The aim is to test a technology that could enable the realization of a primary RF/MW power standard independently of the assumption of unitary efficiency at the dc (or LF) reference power.

description: We discuss static axially symmetric solutions of SU(2) Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs theory for large scalar coupling. These regular asymptotically flat solutions represent monopole-antimonopole chain and vortex ring solutions, as well as new configurations, present only for larger values of the scalar coupling. When gravity is coupled to the Yang-Mills-Higgs system, branches of gravitating solutions emerge from the flat-space solutions, and extend up to critical values of the gravitational coupling constant. For small scalar coupling only two branches of gravitating solutions exist, where the second branch connects to a generalized Bartnik-McKinnon solution. For large scalar coupling, however, a plethora of gravitating branches can be present and indicate the emergence of new flat-space branches.

description: The aim of this note is to provoke discussion concerning arithmetic properties of function $p_{d}(n)$ counting partitions of an positive integer $n$ into $d$-th powers, where $d\geq 2$. Besides results concerning the asymptotic behavior of $p_{d}(n)$ a little is known. In the first part of the paper, we prove certain congruences involving functions counting various types of partitions into $d$-th powers. The second part of the paper has experimental nature and contains questions and conjectures concerning arithmetic behavior of the sequence $(p_{d}(n))_{n\in\N}$. They based on our computations of $p_{d}(n)$ for $n\leq 10^5$ in case of $d=2$, and $n\leq 10^{6}$ for $d=3, 4, 5$.

description: We present high resolution heat capacity measurements for the organic superconductors kappa-(ET)_2Cu[N(CN)_2]Br and kappa-(ET)_2Cu(NCS)_2 in fields up to 14 T. We use the high field data to determine the normal state specific heat and hence extract the behavior of the electronic specific heat C_{el} in the superconducting state in zero and finite fields. We find that in both materials for T/T_c<0.3, C_{el}(H=0)\sim T^2 indicating d-wave superconductivity. Our data are inconsistent with s-wave behavior, but may be fitted to a strong coupling d-wave model over the full temperature range.

LINGUO-COGNITIVE MODELING OF DERIVATIVE WORD SEMANTICS FORMED FROM PRECEDENT NAMES (BASED ON THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE)
Creators: name: Karimova, Shakhnoza
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: this article explores the linguo-cognitive mechanisms involved in the formation and semantic modeling of derivative words from precedent names in the English language. It focuses on how cognitive tools such as metaphor and metonymy facilitate the extension of cultural meaning from these names, resulting in concise linguistic expressions that reflect collective cultural memory and contextual variability.

description: We analyze extensive data on NGC1377 from the Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey (SINGS). Within the category of nascent starbursts, that we previously selected by their infrared to radio continuum ratios in large excess of the average and their hot dust, NGC1377 has the largest infrared excess yet measured. Optical imaging reveals a morphological distortion suggestive of a recent accretion event. Infrared spectroscopy reveals a compact and opaque source dominated by a hot, self-absorbed continuum (tau ~ 20 in the 10 micron silicate band). We provide physical evidence against non-stellar activity being the heating source. HII regions are detected through the single [NeII] line, probing <1% of the ionizing radiation. Not only is the optical depth very high, but >85% of ionizing photons are suppressed by dust. The only other detected emission features are molecular hydrogen lines, arguably excited mainly by shocks, besides photodissociation regions, and weak aromatic bands. The new observations support our interpretation in terms of an extremely young starburst (<1 Myr). More generally, galaxies deficient in radio synchrotron are likely observed within a few Myr of the onset of a starburst and after a long quiescence, prior to the replenishment of the ISM with cosmic rays. The similar infrared-radio properties of NGC1377 and some infrared-luminous galaxies suggest that NGC1377 constitutes an archetype to better understand starburst evolution. Although rare locally because observed in a brief evolutionary stage, nascent starbursts may represent a non-negligible fraction of merger-induced starbursts dominating deep infrared counts. Since they differ dramatically from usual starburst templates, they bear important consequences for the interpretation of deep surveys.
