description: Land degradation is a pivotal environmental concern, bearing substantial impacts in the Gidabo river basin (GRB) in Ethiopia, prompting a critical need for effective mitigation strategies. In this study, we aimed to assess the dynamics of land degradation pathways in the context of change in climate and land use. The identification of potential erosion hotspots and the appraisal of management strategies was also carried out. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) and the Good Practice Guidance (GPG) framework was employed. The results revealed a compelling synergy between land use dynamics and climate changes, asserting joint and individual prevalence in influencing surface runoff and sediment yield. The past simulation revealed 4–5.9% and 24–43% increments in mean annual runoff and sediment yield, respectively. While the near (2021–2040) and mid (2041–2060) future scenarios displayed varying trends under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. Furthermore, sub-basins prone to soil erosion risk were identified, thereby enabling targeted conservation efforts. The assessment of trends in land degradation neutrality (LDN) unveiled the expansion of land degradation trajectories (by 26%) from 1985–2003 to 2003–2021. This might be attributed to the dynamic interplay between climate and land use land cover (LULC) change, with croplands and bare land emerging as high-risk degraded areas. Addressing these concerns, soil/stone bund, terracing, contour farming, and reforestation practice can significantly reduce the annual sediment yield in the future. The integration of soil erosion indicators with LDN sub-indicators can provide a more comprehensive approach that can lead to more effective land management and restoration strategies to achieve the LDN goal. The findings of this study could contribute crucial insights and substantial implications for policymakers, land managers, and conservationists. Moreover, future efforts should be directed to expand investigations into diverse land degradation pathways and mitigation measures.

description: The temperature and angle dependent resistivity of Ba(Fe$_{0.75}$Ru$_{0.25}$)$_2$As$_2$ single crystals were measured in magnetic fields up to 14 T. The temperature dependent resistivity with the magnetic field aligned parallel to c-axis and ab-planes allow us to derive the slope of d$H_{c2}^{ab}/dT$ and d$H_{c2}^c/dT$ near $T_c$ yielding an anisotropy ratio $Γ=dH_{c2}^{ab}/dT/dH_{c2}^c/dT \approx$ 2. By scaling the curves of resistivity vs. angle measured at a fixed temperature but different magnetic fields within the framework of the anisotropic Ginzburg-Landau theory, we obtained the anisotropy in an alternative way. Again we found that the anisotropy $(m_c/m_{ab})^{1/2}$ was close to 2. This value is very similar to that in Ba$_{0.6}$K$_{0.4}$Fe$_2$As$_2$ (K-doped Ba122) and Ba(Fe$_{0.92}$Co$_{0.08}$)$_2$As$_2$ (Co-doped Ba122). This suggests that the 3D warping effect of the Fermi surface in Ru-doped samples may not be stronger than that in the K-doped or Co-doped Ba122 samples, therefore the possible nodes appearing in Ru-doped samples cannot be ascribed to the 3D warping effect of the Fermi surface.

description: The theory of elasticity and pinning of domain walls in helical magnets is presented. Domain walls perpendicular to the helical axis show non-local elasticity and are marginally pinned by local disorder. Weak anisotropy combined with magnetic dilution leads however to a non-local bulk pinning effect. Domain walls with other orientations include generically vortex arrays, similar to type-II superconductors. Their pinning force is calculated as a function of wall orientation, pitch angle and impurity concentration. It is shown that metastable domains can vary between needle and pancake like shape.

description: The elastic properties of hcp $^4$He samples have been shown to display various anomalies. The elastic shear modulus stiffens and the moment of rotational inertia drops when the temperature is lowered below $\sim$ 0.2 K. The relation between these two quantities is studied within the framework of classical deformable-body mechanics. A model based on the formation by plastic flow of extremely soft two-dimensional layers of dislocations is studied analytically and numerically. This model accounts quantitatively for a number of experiments. Other situations, in which it may seem less relevant, are discussed.

description: Patient*innen mit Migrationsgeschichte stoßen im deutschen Gesundheitssystem vielfach auf Zugangsbarrieren, die die Qualität der ihnen zugänglichen Versorgung mindern und ihre Gesundheit beeinträchtigen. Diese Barrieren haben einerseits politische Ursachen, sind jedoch auch auf einen Mangel an migrations- und diversitätsbezogenen Inhalten im Medizinstudium und in anderen gesundheitsbezogenen Studien- und Ausbildungsgängen zurückzuführen. Obwohl die Versorgung von Patientinnen und Patienten mit eigener oder familiärer Migrationsgeschichte zum Alltag gehört, sind dafür relevante Inhalte bislang nicht in den Curricula verankert und werden bestenfalls in Form von Wahlpflichtfächern oder anderen fakultativen Lehrangeboten vermittelt. Um diese Situation zu verbessern und eine menschenrechtsbasierte, diversitätssensible und Equity-orientierte Weiterentwicklung der Curricula voranzutreiben, hat sich das „Lehrnetzwerk Migration und Gesundheit“ gegründet. Es zielt darauf ab, 1) in der Lehre aktive Personen miteinander zu vernetzen und den Austausch sowie die gemeinsame Weiterentwicklung von Lehrmaterial zu fördern, 2) darauf aufbauend einen Modellkurs „Migration und Gesundheit“ zu entwickeln und 3) Strategien für die longitudinale Implementierung entsprechender Inhalte in Pflichtcurricula zu erarbeiten. Diese Bestrebungen werden von Lehrforschung flankiert. An Mitarbeit im Lehrnetzwerk Interessierte sind herzlich eingeladen, die Autor*innen zu kontaktieren und an diesen Vorhaben mitzuwirken.

description: In 1917, with tens of thousands of Canadian soldiers killed and wounded, the end of the war was nowhere in sight. As the supply of volunteers dried up, conscription became the dominant issue in Canada. French Canadians were singled out and accused of not supporting Canada’s overseas military commitments to the same extent as English-speaking Canadians. Literature on French Canada and the war highlights the bitter divisions over conscription and its enduring legacy.

Agricultural rent in the early Victorian era
Creators: name: Peplow, Stephen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This thesis concerns the economic and political relationship between the English tenant farmer, his landowner, and his Member of Parliament during the period between 1830 and 1865. Profound social and economic changes took place in agriculture during this time, notably the enfranchisement of the tenant farmer (1832), the Repeal of the Corn Laws (1846), and the development of the railways from 1832 onwards. The tenant farmer was an important actor in all three changes, but his role has been overlooked. This thesis brings him into focus in three chapters, each dealing with the tenant-farmer within the rural economy. Chapter 1 introduces the research project, makes a clear statement of the goals of the research, and reviews some of the recent literature. Chapter 2 deals with the ways in which agricultural rents were set in the 1830s and estimates agricultural rents from two centuries ago, using observations for nearly six hundred parishes in the southwest of England. The finding is that rents were set closely with Ricardian Rent Theory. Chapter 3 measures the impact on agricultural rents of railway development. The railways were laid from 1832 onwards, and farmers used the railways to take their stock to market. This saved large amounts of money, primarily from reduced loss of condition compared to droving to market. The social savings were approximately 1.1 per cent of GDP, a considerable sum. The chapter shows that about one fifth of the wealth transfer resulted from cheaper transportation, while the other four-fifths resulted from productivity gains as farmers rearranged their output to take advantage of the railways. Chapter 4 measures the impact of the agricultural interest on the voting decisions of Member of Parliament during the Corn Laws crisis in 1846. This chapter shows that tenant farmers had a small but measureable influence on voting decisions.

description: We study a linear ramp of the nearest-neighbor tunneling rate in the Bose-Hubbard model driving the system from the Mott insulator state into the superfluid phase. We employ the truncated Wigner approximation to simulate linear quenches of a uniform system in 1,2, and 3 dimensions, and in a harmonic trap in 3 dimensions. In all these setups the excitation energy decays like one over third root of the quench time. The -1/3 scaling arises from an impulse-adiabatic approximation - a variant of the Kibble-Zurek mechanism - describing a crossover from non-adiabatic to adiabatic evolution when the system begins to keep pace with the increasing tunneling rate.

Saying that E is lex totally distributive if, moreover, the left adjoint t preserves finite limits, we show that the lex totally distributive categories with a small set of generators are exactly the injective Grothendieck toposes, studied by Johnstone and Joyal. We characterize the totally distributive categories with a small set of generators as exactly the essential subtoposes of presheaf toposes, studied by Kelly-Lawvere and Kennett-Riehl-Roy-Zaks.

description: We study a modular function $Λ_{k,\ell}$ which is one of generalized $λ$ functions. We show $Λ_{k,\ell}$ and the modular invariant function $j$ generate the modular function field with respect to the modular subgroup $Γ_1(N)$. Further we prove that $Λ_{k,\ell}$ is integral over $\mathbf Z[j]$. From these results, we obtain that the value of $Λ_{k,\ell}$ at an imaginary quadratic point is an algebraic integer and generates a ray class field over the Hilbert class field.

description: During the period of neutrality, Italian public opinion was divided into two camps: one interventionist, and the other, in the majority, opposed to Italy’s entry into the war. Neutralism brought together the two most important political groupings in the country, namely, the Catholics and the Socialists. Nonetheless, the interventionist camp was able to win the public debate outside parliament, while this latter de facto abdicated its role, delegating foreign policy decisions to the government. This tendency persisted during the war years, when the management of the conflict was left to the government and to the military, thereby reinforcing the authoritarian tendencies present in Italian political life.

description: The predictions of the inflationary LCDM paradigm match today's high-precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background anisotropy extremely well. The same data put tight limits on other sources of anisotropy. Cosmic strings are a particularly interesting alternate source to constrain. Strings are topological defects, remnants of inflationary-era physics that persist after the big bang. They are formed in a variety of models of inflation, including string theory models such as brane inflation. We assume a "Nambu-Goto" model for strings, approximated by a collection of unconnected segments with zero width, and show that measurements of temperature anisotropy by the South Pole Telescope break a parameter degeneracy in the WMAP data, permitting us to place a strong upper limit on the possible string contribution to the CMB anisotropy: the power sourced by zero-width strings must be <1.75% (95% CL) of the total or the string tension Gmu <1.7x10^{-7}. These limits imply that the best hope for detecting strings in the CMB will come from B-mode polarization measurements at arcminute scales rather than the degree scale measurements pursued for gravitational wave detection.

The requirement of putative autochaperone motifs for autotransporter passenger domain folding
Creators: name: Gagnon, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Protein secretion plays an essential role in the virulence of Gram-negative bacterial pathogens. Gram-negative bacteria have evolved multiple specialized secretion pathways in order to navigate proteins across the Gram-negative cell envelope. The simplest and most widespread secretion pathway is the type V secretion system and autotransporters (ATs) (Va) represent the largest class of secreted proteins in Gram-negative bacteria. ATs are structurally characterized by the presence of three distinct domains; an N-terminal signal sequence that targets the N-terminus of the polypeptide to the inner membrane, a passenger domain that often possesses β-helix structure and carries out the virulence function(s) and a conserved C-terminal translocation unit (TU) consisting of a β-domain that forms a porin-like structure in the outer membrane (OM) through which the passenger domain is thought to be extruded and an α-helical linker region that joins the β-domain to the C-terminus of the passenger domain. At the Cterminus of the majority of AT passenger domains is a conserved region termed the autochaperone (AC). The importance of conserved AC residues for passenger domain secretion and folding has been demonstrated for numerous ATs, yet the exact role of the AC region in OM translocation and passenger domain folding has yet to be clarified. In this study, the requirement of conserved C-terminal passenger domain motifs for the acquisition of passenger domain secondary structure and the interchangeability of these conserved AC motifs was investigated. A combination of far-UV CD spectroscopy and limited proteolysis with trypsin of full-length and AC-deleted Vag8, Ag43 and Smp passenger variants revealed that the requirement of conserved C-terminal AC motifs for the acquisition of passenger domain secondary structure varies among ATs. A cell wall fraction assay, in which the ability of BrkA, Ag43 and Smp AC regions to rescue BrkA AC-deleted passenger folding was tested, indicated that an AC region with similar structure to the cognate AC is necessary to rescue passenger domain folding. Altogether, the results of this study highlight the involvement of multiple factors in passenger domain folding and the likely variation that exists in the mechanism of passenger folding at the bacterial cell surface.

The Stellar Initial Mass Function in Early-Type Galaxies From Absorption Line Spectroscopy. I. Data and Empirical Trends

description: The strength of gravity-sensitive absorption lines in the integrated light of old stellar populations is one of the few direct probes of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) outside of the Milky Way. Owing to the advent of fully depleted CCDs with little or no fringing it has recently become possible to obtain accurate measurements of these features. Here we present spectra covering the wavelength ranges 0.35 - 0.55 micron and 0.72 - 1.03 micron for the bulge of M31 and 34 early-type galaxies from the SAURON sample, obtained with the Low Resolution Imaging Spectrometer on Keck. The signal-to-noise ratio is >200 per Angstrom out to 1 micron, which is sufficient to measure gravity-sensitive features for individual galaxies and to determine how they depend on other properties of the galaxies. Combining the new data with previously obtained spectra for globular clusters in M31 and the most massive elliptical galaxies in the Virgo cluster we find that the dwarf-sensitive Na I doublet and the FeH Wing-Ford band increase systematically with velocity dispersion, while the giant-sensitive Ca II triplet decreases with dispersion. These trends are consistent with a varying IMF, such that galaxies with deeper potential wells have more dwarf-enriched mass functions. In a companion paper (Conroy & van Dokkum 2012) we use a comprehensive stellar population synthesis model to demonstrate that IMF effects can be separated from age and abundance variations and quantify the IMF variation among early-type galaxies.

description: Although multilayer systems possess global inversion symmetry, some of the layers lack local inversion symmetry because no global inversion centers are present on such layers. Such locally non-centrosymmetric systems exhibit spatially modulated Rashba spin-orbit coupling. In this study, the superconductivity in multilayer models exhibiting inhomogeneous Rashba spin-orbit coupling is investigated. We study the electronic structure, superconducting gap, and spin susceptibility in the superconducting state with mixed parity order parameters. We show the enhancement of the spin susceptibility by Rashba spin-orbit coupling and interpret it on the basis of the crossover from a centrosymmetric superconductor to a non-centrosymmetric superconductor. It is also shown that the spin susceptibility is determined by the phase difference of the order parameter between layers and is nearly independent of the parity mixing of order parameters. An intuitive understanding is given on the basis of the analytic expression of superconducting order parameters in the band basis. The results indicate that not only a broken global inversion symmetry but also a broken local inversion symmetry leads to unique properties of superconductivity. We discuss the superconductivity in artificial superlattices involving CeCoIn5 and multilayer high-Tc cuprates.

description: The outbreak of the First World War coincided with a period in Persian history when, following the Constitutional Revolution of 1905-1909, the Iranians were poised to refashion the constitutional order and establish an independent, accountable and effective govern­ment. The global conflict between the Great Powers, which culminated in the outbreak of the Great War, embraced Persian social, economic and political establishments, deepened political factionalism and rigorously undermined the planned reforms. On the eve of the war, the global shift of industrial, military and naval units from coal to oil resulted in an exponential growth of demand for petroleum products. This global shift had enormous implications for the strategic significance of West Asia, a region that holds vast oil deposits. Iran/Persia and its oil were in the core of this transition and the pivotal position of Persian/Iranian oil not only refashioned the country’s position during the war but through the long 20th century.

description: From 1870 to 1914, given the inferiority of the Italian army with respect to that of the Habsburgs, Italian war plans maintained a defensive or counteroffensive posture. In the period of neutrality, however, Luigi Cadorna, reckoning that the Austro-Hungarian army would be able to deploy only a limited part of its own forces, decided to reverse the Italian strategy, imparting a markedly offensive character to the plans. An offensive in the direction of the Gorizia and Trieste regions was thus planned, with the aim of inflicting a decisive defeat upon the Austro-Hungarians. The realities of the war, however, would hold up the Italian forces for many months on the Isonzo front, up until Caporetto.

A Sparse and High-Order Accurate Line-Based Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Unstructured Meshes

description: We present a new line-based discontinuous Galerkin (DG) discretization scheme for first- and second-order systems of partial differential equations. The scheme is based on fully unstructured meshes of quadrilateral or hexahedral elements, and it is closely related to the standard nodal DG scheme as well as several of its variants such as the collocation-based DG spectral element method (DGSEM) or the spectral difference (SD) method. However, our motivation is to maximize the sparsity of the Jacobian matrices, since this directly translates into higher performance in particular for implicit solvers, while maintaining many of the good properties of the DG scheme. To achieve this, our scheme is based on applying one-dimensional DG solvers along each coordinate direction in a reference element. This reduces the number of connectivities drastically, since the scheme only connects each node to a line of nodes along each direction, as opposed to the standard DG method which connects all nodes inside the element and many nodes in the neighboring ones. The resulting scheme is similar to a collocation scheme, but it uses fully consistent integration along each 1-D coordinate direction which results in different properties for nonlinear problems and curved elements. Also, the scheme uses solution points along each element face, which further reduces the number of connections with the neighboring elements. Second-order terms are handled by an LDG-type approach, with an upwind/downwind flux function based on a switch function at each element face. We demonstrate the accuracy of the method and compare it to the standard nodal DG method for problems including Poisson's equation, Euler's equations of gas dynamics, and both the steady-state and the transient compressible Navier-Stokes equations.

description: Ultra-cold dipolar spinor fermions in zig-zag type optical lattices can mimic spin-orbital models relevant in solid-state systems, as transition-metal oxides with partially filled d-levels, with the interesting advantage of reviving the quantum nature of orbital fluctuations. We discuss two different physical systems in which these models may be simulated, showing that the interplay between lattice geometry and spin-orbital quantum dynamics produces a wealth of novel quantum phases.

Expanding opportunities for mid-rise buildings in Chile through the application of timber panel systems
Creators: name: Schmitt Rivera, Cristián
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: During the last few years, the merging of timber building tradition with the application of new technologies has produced new prefabricated building systems in Europe and North America. Mid-rise buildings present a unique opportunity to apply new timber technologies. Chile has shown sustained growth of buildings construction during the past decades but little further development in the use of wood. To establish the feasibility of timber systems applied to the Chilean context this research considered social aspects, technical aspects and local standards related to the manufacture and construction using timber components. A project proposal is used to analyze the architectural applications of timber systems according to the Chilean context. The design considers the case of densification in the city of Santiago and investigates the possibility of developing mid-rise structures using the structural properties and features of timber systems. So far only two systems applied to mid-rise structures have been tested for seismic resistance on full scale prototypes: Midply and Cross Laminated Timber. Both systems are suitable for the Chilean context despite their different features. However, it is essential to modify the Chilean Structural Code in order to properly incorporate the seismic performance of timber structures. Also, further research is needed on the application of softwoods and local construction techniques are required for timber panel systems in order to change the negative perception of users about timber housing. The Chilean context has interesting design opportunities to develop buildings that use prefabricated timber panel systems. These structures are flexible, light and have shear high-resistance. However, it is necessary further exploration on architectural possibilities that could expand the use of these alternatives.

description: Il tempo rappresenta un concetto sfaccettato, a cui sin dall’antichità sono stati attribuiti molteplici significati. Nella realtà quotidiana viene spesso richiamato come un elemento di cui si sente la mancanza, tra la percezione di un tempo-tiranno che guida le traiettorie di ciascuno, ed un tempo-risorsa da poter gestire razionalmente. Tali dinamiche investono anche l’operatività quotidiana degli assistenti sociali, che si trovano a dover contemperare l’uso del tempo-lavoro con le dimensioni metodologiche ed etiche inscritte nel proprio agire professionale. Ad oggi, sono tuttavia ancora poco presenti studi su questi temi nell’ambito del servizio sociale, sia in termini teorici che di ricerca empirica. Il presente volume propone un contributo in tal senso, a partire da una ricerca sul campo. Frutto della collaborazione tra Ordine regionale degli Assistenti Sociali e Università Roma Tre, la ricerca ha invitato i professionisti a rileggere le proprie modalità di utilizzo del tempo lavorativo, in relazione ai mandati della professione e tenendo conto delle organizzazioni nelle quali operano. Il lavoro empirico è stato accompagnato da una definizione delle aree di attività in cui si articola il lavoro di servizio sociale, con una analisi rivolta sia ai singoli focus tematici sia ad uno sguardo complessivo sull’utilizzo del tempo da parte dei professionisti coinvolti.

Palatini-Lovelock-Cartan Gravity - Bianchi Identities for Stringy Fluxes

description: A Palatini-type action for Einstein and Gauss-Bonnet gravity with non-trivial torsion is proposed. Three-form flux is incorporated via a deformation of the Riemann tensor, and consistency of the Palatini variational principle requires the flux to be covariantly constant and to satisfy a Jacobi identity. Studying gravity actions of third order in the curvature leads to a conjecture about general Palatini-Lovelock-Cartan gravity. We point out potential relations to string-theoretic Bianchi identities and, using the Schouten-Nijenhuis bracket, derive a set of Bianchi identities for the non-geometric Q- and R-fluxes which include derivative and curvature terms. Finally, the problem of relating torsional gravity to higher-order corrections of the bosonic string-effective action is revisited.

description: Ground-based optical surveys such as PanSTARRS, DES, and LSST, will produce large catalogs to limiting magnitudes of r > 24. Star-galaxy separation poses a major challenge to such surveys because galaxies---even very compact galaxies---outnumber halo stars at these depths. We investigate photometric classification techniques on stars and galaxies with intrinsic FWHM < 0.2 arcsec. We consider unsupervised spectral energy distribution template fitting and supervised, data-driven Support Vector Machines (SVM). For template fitting, we use a Maximum Likelihood (ML) method and a new Hierarchical Bayesian (HB) method, which learns the prior distribution of template probabilities from the data. SVM requires training data to classify unknown sources; ML and HB don't. We consider i.) a best-case scenario (SVM_best) where the training data is (unrealistically) a random sampling of the data in both signal-to-noise and demographics, and ii.) a more realistic scenario where training is done on higher signal-to-noise data (SVM_real) at brighter apparent magnitudes. Testing with COSMOS ugriz data we find that HB outperforms ML, delivering ~80% completeness, with purity of ~60-90% for both stars and galaxies, respectively. We find no algorithm delivers perfect performance, and that studies of metal-poor main-sequence turnoff stars may be challenged by poor star-galaxy separation. Using the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve, we find a best-to-worst ranking of SVM_best, HB, ML, and SVM_real. We conclude, therefore, that a well trained SVM will outperform template-fitting methods. However, a normally trained SVM performs worse. Thus, Hierarchical Bayesian template fitting may prove to be the optimal classification method in future surveys.
