description: To assess the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Mandibular Function Impairment Questionnaire (MFIQ-TR). Included in this study were 248 patients diagnosed with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) according to Diagnostic Criteria for TMD Axis I protocol. Construct-related validity was evaluated through internal and external construct validity; convergent and divergent validities were evaluated by the average variance extracted (AVE), composite reliability (CR), and bivariate correlations between factors. Reliability was assessed by internal consistency and test-retest reliability. All items of the MFIQ-TR had content validity and factor loadings above 0.5. The model statistics indicated a good fit. The convergent validity was very good (AVE > 0.5 and CR > 0.7), and the discriminant validity was satisfied. Internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the MFIQ-TR were excellent. The MFIQ-TR is a valid and reliable instrument for evaluating the impairment of mandibular function in Turkish patients with TMD.

description: We propose a new method for detecting paired states in either bosonic or fermionic systems using interference experiments with independent or weakly coupled low dimensional systems. We demonstrate that our method can be used to detect both the FFLO and the d-wave paired states of fermions, as well as quasicondensates of singlet pairs for polar F=1 atoms in two dimensional systems. We discuss how this method can be used to perform phase-sensitive determination of the symmetry of the pairing amplitude.

One is the N=6 superconformal theory recently studied in arXiv:0806.1218 [hep-th] and another is a new theory with N=1 superconformal symmetry. We conjecture that the N=1 theory is dual to M theory on AdS_4 x Squashed S^7/Z_k.

description: In this work, we calculate with ab initio methods the current-voltage characteristics for ideal single- and double-barrier Fe/MgO (001) magnetic tunnel junctions. The current is calculated in the phase-coherent limit by using the recently developed SMEAGOL code, combining the nonequilibrium Green function formalism with density-functional theory. In general we find that double-barrier junctions display a larger magnetoresistance, which decays with bias at a slower pace than their single-barrier counterparts. This is explained in terms of enhanced spin filtering from the middle Fe layer sandwiched in between the two MgO barriers. In addition, for double-barrier tunnel junctions, we find a well defined peak in the magnetoresistance at a voltage of V=0.1 V. This is the signature of resonant tunneling across a majority quantum well state. Our findings are discussed in relation to recent experiments.

description: Graphene is an intriguing material with properties that are distinct from those of other graphitic systems. The first samples of pristine graphene were obtained by peeling off and epitaxial growth. Recently, the chemical reduction of graphite oxide was used to produce covalently functionalized single-layer graphene oxide. However, chemical approaches for the large-scale production of highly conducting graphene sheets remain elusive. Here, we report that the exfoliation-reintercalation-expansion of graphite can produce high-quality single-layer graphene sheets stably suspended in organic solvents. The graphene sheets exhibit high electrical conductance at room and cryogenic temperatures. Large amounts of graphene sheets in organic solvents are made into large transparent conducting films by Langmuir-Blodgett assembly in a layer-by-layer manner. The chemically derived high quality graphene sheets could lead to future scalable graphene devices.

description: We present Spitzer 8 micron transit observations of the extrasolar planet HD 149026b. At this wavelength, transit light curves are weakly affected by stellar limb-darkening, allowing for a simpler and more accurate determination of planetary parameters. We measure a planet-star radius ratio of Rp/Rs = 0.05158 +/- 0.00077, and in combination with ground-based data and independent constraints on the stellar mass and radius, we derive an orbital inclination of i = 85.4 +0.9/-0.8 degrees and a planet radius of Rp = 0.755 +/- 0.040 R_jup. These measurements further support models in which the planet is greatly enriched in heavy elements.

Childrens’ beliefs about the human circulatory system

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This exploratory study was aimed at uncovering childrens' beliefs and ideas about the human circulatory system. Thirty-two subjects, aged from 7 to 14 years, were interviewed using a modification of Piaget's Clinical Method. The data were analysed by developing a "conceptual inventory" of beliefs for each of five research questions. It was found that the interview methodology was effective in ascertaining these belief structures. Many children were found to possess similar beliefs about certain aspects of the circulatory system. Developmental trends were also evident from the data collected. It was found that many of the beliefs from this study paralleled the ancient scientific ideas about this system. It is felt that the beliefs uncovered in this study will aid the educational community by providing an insight into some of the "typical" ideas that children bring to the classroom.
On-Shell Recursion Relations for Generic Theories

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We show that on-shell recursion relations hold for tree amplitudes in generic two derivative theories of multiple particle species and diverse spins. For example, in a gauge theory coupled to scalars and fermions, any amplitude with at least one gluon obeys a recursion relation. In (super)gravity coupled to scalars and fermions, the same holds for any amplitude with at least one graviton. This result pertains to a broad class of theories, including QCD, N=4 SYM, and N=8 supergravity.

description: We present results of a 90 ksec Chandra X-ray observation of the young sigma Orionis cluster (age ~3 Myr) obtained with the High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer. We use the high resolution grating spectrum and moderate resolution CCD spectrum of the massive central star sigma Ori AB (O9.5V + B0.5V) to test wind shock theories of X-ray emission and also analyze the high spatial resolution zero-order ACIS-S image of the central cluster region. Chandra detected 42 X-ray sources on the primary CCD (ACIS-S3). All but five have near-IR or optical counterparts and about one-fourth are variable. Notable high-mass stellar detections are sigma Ori AB, the magnetic B star sigma Ori E, and the B5V binary HD 37525. Most of the other detections have properties consistent with lower mass K or M-type stars. We present the first X-ray spectrum of the unusual infrared source IRS1 located 3.3 arc-sec north of sigma Ori AB, which is likely an embedded T Tauri star whose disk/envelope is being photoevaporated by sigma Ori AB. We focus on the radiative wind shock interpretation of the soft luminous X-ray emission from sigma Ori AB, but also consider possible alternatives including magnetically-confined wind shocks and colliding wind shocks. Its emission lines show no significant asymmetries or centroid shifts and are moderately broadened to HWHM ~ 264 km/s, or one-fourth the terminal wind speed. Forbidden lines in He-like ions are formally undetected, implying strong UV suppression. The Mg XI triplet forms in the wind acceleration zone within one stellar radius above the surface. These X-ray properties are consistent in several respects with the predictions of radiative wind shock theory for an optically thin wind, but explaining the narrow line widths presents a challenge to the theory.

description: This paper deals with an application of the notion of barrier in mixed constrained nonlinear systems to an example of a pendulum mounted on a cart with non-rigid cable, whose dynamics may switch to free-fall when the tension of the cable vanishes. We present a direct construction of the boundary of the potentially safe set in which there always exists a control such that the cable never goes slack. A discussion on the dependence of this set with respect to the pendulum and cart masses is then sketched.

description: The BRAHMS collaboration ended its data collection program in 2006. We are now well advanced in the analysis of a comprehensive set of data that spans systems ranging in mass from p+p to Au+Au and in energy from $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 62.4$ to 200 GeV. Our analysis has taken two distinct paths: we explore the rapidity dependence of intermediate and high-transverse-momentum, identified-particle production, thus helping to characterize the strongly-interacting quark-gluon plasma (sQGP) formed at RHIC; we also explore particle yields at lower transverse momentum to develop a systematic understanding of bulk particle production at RHIC energies.

description: 58. Sphingidae – sphinx moths; hawk moths Medium-sized to very large (30–180 mm wingspan) moths with robust bodies, a characteristic elongate–triangular forewing, and a relatively small hindwing. Like the Saturniidae, the sphinx moths are part of the “charismatic megafauna” of Lepidoptera and indeed of all insects. Larvae often attract attention because they are large, and most species bear a conspicuous horn on the dorsal tip of the abdomen. Larval host plants include a wide variety of plant groups, although many of the species listed here feed on deciduous trees and shrubs. There are at least 1 200 species of sphingids globally, and the family is most diverse in tropical regions (Lemaire and Minet 1999). Th e North American fauna consists of about 130 species, with 27 species reported from AB. Many sphingids are strong dispersers, and strays from the far south occur occasionally in southern Canada. Three important monographs cover the North American Sphingidae: Rothschild and Jordan (1903), Hodges (1971), and Tuttle (2007). Rothschild and Jordan’s (1903) monumental work encompassed a global revision of the family. Hodges (1971) provided a taxonomic framework and biological information, although the distributions in western Canada were sketchy. Tuttle (2007) provided a wealth of biological information with much better coverage of western Canada. Kitching and Cadiou (2000) provided a complete catalogue of the world Sphingidae.

description: We present the results of a recent reverberation-mapping campaign undertaken to improve measurements of the radius of the broad line region and the central black hole mass of the quasar PG 2130+099. Cross correlation of the 5100 angstrom continuum and H-beta emission-line light curves yields a time lag of 22.9 (+4.4 - 4.3) days, corresponding to a central black hole mass MBH= 3.8 (+/- 1.5) x 10^7 Msun. This value supports the notion that previous measurements yielded an incorrect lag. We re-analyzed previous datasets to investigate the possible sources of the discrepancy and conclude that previous measurement errors were apparently caused by a combination of undersampling of the light curves and long-term secular changes in the H-beta emission-line equivalent width. With our new measurements, PG 2130+099 is no longer an outlier in either the R-L or the MBH-Sigma relationships.

Limits on Neutron Lorentz Violation from the Stability of Primary Cosmic Ray Protons
Creators: name: Altschul, Brett
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recent evidence appears to confirm that the ultra-high-energy primary cosmic ray spectrum consists mostly of protons. The fact that these protons can traverse large distances to reach Earth allows us to place bounds on Lorentz violations. The protons neither emit vacuum Cerenkov radiation nor $β$-decay into neutrons, and this constrains six previously unmeasured coefficients in the neutron sector at the 5 x 10^(-14) level. Among the coefficients bounded here for the first time are those that control spin-independent boost anisotropy for neutrons. This is a phenomenon which could have existed (in light of the preexisting bounds) without additional fine tuning. There are also similar bounds for others species of hadrons. The bounds on Lorentz violation for neutral pions are particularly strong, at the 4 x 10^(-21) level, eleven orders of magnitude better than previous constraints.

Neutralino Dark Matter as the Source of the WMAP Haze
Creators: name: Caceres, Gabriel
name: Hooper, Dan
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Previously, it has been argued that the anomalous emission from the region around the Galactic Center observed by WMAP, known as the ``WMAP Haze'', may be the synchrotron emission from relativistic electrons and positrons produced in dark matter annihilations. In particular, the angular distribution, spectrum, and intensity of the observed emission are consistent with the signal expected to result from a WIMP with an electroweak-scale mass and an annihilation cross section near the value predicted for a thermal relic. In this article, we revisit this signal within the context of supersymmetry, and evaluate the parameter space of the Constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (CMSSM). We find that, over much of the supersymmetric parameter space, the lightest neutralino is predicted to possess the properties required to generate the WMAP Haze. In particular, the focus point, A-funnel, and bulk regions typically predict a neutralino with a mass, annihilation cross section, and dominant annihilation modes which are within the range required to produce the observed features of the WMAP Haze. The stau-coannihilation region, in contrast, is disfavored as an explanation for the origin of this signal.

description: In the today's Internet and TCP/IP-networks, the queueing of packets is commonly implemented using the protocol FIFO (First In First Out). Unfortunately, FIFO performs poorly in the Adversarial Queueing Theory. Other queueing strategies are researched in this model and better results are performed by alternative queueing strategies, e.g. LIS (Longest In System). This article introduces a new queueing protocol called interval-strategy that is concerned with the reduction from dynamic to static routing. We discuss the maximum system time for a packet and estimate with up-to-date results how this can be achieved. We figure out the maximum amount of time where a packet can spend in the network (i.e. worst case system time), and argue that the universal instability of the presented interval-strategy can be reached through these results. When a large group of queueing strategies is used for queueing, we prove that the interval-strategy will be universally unstable. Finally, we calculate the maximum time of the static routing to reach an universal stable and polynomial - in detail linear - bounded interval-strategy. Afterwards we close - in order to check this upper bound - with up-to-date results about the delivery times in static routing.

Similarities between surface waves of completely different origin will be outlined. I will be concerned with the physical picture and avoid math as strongly as possible (no differential equations and no boundary conditions), as well as many interesting details. My own contributions to this field will be also presented.

description: We determine the time evolution of fluctuations of the Polyakov loop after a quench into the deconfined phase of SU(3) gauge theory from a simple classical relativistic Lagrangian. We compare the structure factors, which indicate spinodal decomposition followed by relaxation, to those obtained via Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques in SU(3) lattice gauge theory. We find that the time when the structure factor peaks diverges like $\sim 1/k^2$ in the long-wavelength limit. This is due to formation of competing Z(3) domains for configurations where the Polyakov loop exhibits non-perturbatively large variations in space, which delay thermalization of long wavelength modes. For realistic temperatures, and away from the extreme weak-coupling limit, we find that even modes with $k$ on the order of $T$ experience delayed thermalization. Relaxation times of very long wavelength modes are found to be on the order of the size of the system; thus, the dynamics of competing domains should accompany the hydrodynamic description of the deconfined vacuum.

On the dynamics of spicules and mass flows in the solar atmosphere

description: Popular scientific summary -- The atmosphere of the Sun is envisioned as composed of inherently complex, non-homogeneous, and dynamic layers. A detailed understanding of the physical processes involved in these layers is still lacking. For example, it is largely unknown why the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere (the solar corona) is so much hotter than the photosphere by millions of degrees. Astrophysicists think that the layer sandwiched between the photosphere and the corona, known as the interface region, may hold the key to a better understanding of the nature of this enigma. With the help of coordinated high-resolution, ground- and space-based observations from the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope (SST) on La Palma, Spain, and NASA's Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) and Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), along with the support from an advanced numerical simulation, I aim to unlock some of the mysteries surrounding the dynamics of the interface region with a focus on small-scale jets, known as "spicules". Spicules are found almost everywhere on the Sun's surface and at any given moment there can be as many as 10 million of them rapidly shooting outwards. They are often found to be heated beyond chromospheric temperatures and appear in the transition region and (even) coronal passbands. Because of their "omnipresence", it is suggested that they play a major role in energizing the outer atmospheric layers of the Sun. This thesis focuses on the physical characteristics and dynamics of spicules, along with their role in mass-balance and heating of the solar atmosphere.

Children’s problem finding and creative responses in and between reading and art
Creators: name: Barber, Lois J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In order to investigate what comes before a creative solution to a problem, and to examine the significance of the problem formulation component of creative activity, twenty-nine Grade 3 subjects were observed in typical school art and reading situations. The subjects were presented with a selection of objects to investigate and draw, and a selection of books to investigate and read. A variety of measures were used to determine each subject's scores in both problem finding— reflecting their investigative behavior—and problem solving— assessing the originality and craftsmanship of their products. In the art situation a significant positive correlation of r=.38 was found between the total problem formulation of physical investigation and the originality of the student's drawings In the reading situation, there was a significant positive correlation between making predictions about the material surveyed and creative reading responses; but not between physical investigation and creative responses. Between the art and reading situations, problem finding in art correlated significantly with several measures of creative responses in reading. This study in part affirms the theoretical and empirical importance of the problem formulation component of creative production, and suggests the inclusion of problem formulation activities in art and reading classroom situations in which educational goals include the encouragement of students' creative responses.

description: If a computer node is infected by a virus, worm or a backdoor, then this is a security risk for the complete network structure where the node is associated. Existing Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) provide a certain amount of support for the identification of such infected nodes but suffer from the need of plenty of communication and computational power. In this article, we present a novel approach called AGNOSCO to support the identification of infected nodes through the usage of artificial ant colonies. It is shown that AGNOSCO overcomes the communication and computational power problem while identifying infected nodes properly.

description: In this work we investigate the dynamical Casimir effect in a nonideal cavity by deriving an effective Hamiltonian. We first compute a general expression for the average number of particle creation, applicable for any law of motion of the cavity boundary. We also compute a general expression for the linear entropy of an arbitrary state prepared in a selected mode, also applicable for any law of motion of the cavity boundary. As an application of our results we have analyzed both the average number of particle creation and linear entropy within a particular oscillatory motion of the cavity boundary. On the basis of these expressions we develop a comprehensive analysis of the resonances in the number of particle creation in the nonideal dynamical Casimir effect. We also demonstrate the occurrence of resonances in the loss of purity of the initial state and estimate the decoherence times associated with these resonances.

A follow-up study of 1978 Northern Lights College students
Creators: name: Olson, Corliss Patricia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A follow-up study of students who had attended Northern Lights College in 1978, was conducted two years later. The proposal for the study was submitted to the College Board and received partial funding. The population studied included all full-time students who had begun a programme of at least 30 days during the 1978 calendar year. The survey instrument was a one-page, mailed questionnaire. Students received the initial mailing, a reminder postcard and a telephone reminder and second questionnaire, if necessary. The response rate was 53%, based on the number of questionnaires assumed to have reached the students. The goals of the study were: to assess student satisfaction with their college experience and determine reasons for early withdrawal; to assess the relevance (from the students' point of view) of the college educational experience to employment and to further education; and to assess the change both in students' socio-economic status and job satisfaction prior to enrolment at the College compared with two years after leaving the College. Data were statistically analyzed using Chi-square, z-tests and analysis of variance. It was found that students were generally satisfied with their college experience. Reasons for early withdrawal were investigated, but the small sample size did not allow conclusive statements. Students' expectations for good job preparation were met two-thirds of the time. Two years after college, most respondents wished to be employed in their fields of study and the reasons some were not were examined. There was evidence of problems in the implementation of the apprenticeship programme; specifically, funding during training and the availability of adequate, appropriate work afterwards. One-quarter of respondents indicated they had gone on for further studies and most of those continued in areas related to their programmes at Northern Lights College. A large proportion of those continuing their education stayed within the college system and many returned to Northern Lights. Most students were satisfied with their preparation for further studies. The number of respondents employed full-time increased significantly after college. There was a significant difference in full-time employment by sex both before and after college, but no significant difference between college-age and adult-age respondents. Changes in occupational group after college were reviewed: groups showing the greatest increase in numbers were the skilled and semi-skilled occupations. The change in job status, as measured by the Blishen socio-economic scale, was significant and the difference in job status between the sexes was significant with males in lower ranking socio-economic groups both before and after college. Job satisfaction increased significantly after college for both sexes and both age groups. Two-thirds of respondents reported some increase in salary after college. The study concludes with 13 recommendations, based on student responses, to the College Board.
Series Jackson networks and non-crossing probabilities

description: This paper studies the queue length process in series Jackson networks with external input to the first station. We show that its Markov transition probabilities can be written as a finite sum of non-crossing probabilities, so that questions on time-dependent queueing behavior are translated to questions on non-crossing probabilities. This makes previous work on non-crossing probabilities relevant to queueing systems and allows new queueing results to be established. To illustrate the latter, we prove that the relaxation time (i.e., the reciprocal of the `spectral gap') of a positive recurrent system equals the relaxation time of an M/M/1 queue with the same arrival and service rates as the network's bottleneck station. This resolves a conjecture of Blanc, which he proved for two queues in series.
A Class of Nonperturbative Configurations in Abelian-Higgs Models: Complexity from Dynamical Symmetry Breaking

description: We present a numerical investigation of the dynamics of symmetry breaking in both Abelian and non-Abelian $[S U (2)]$ Higgs models in three spatial dimensions. We find a class of time-dependent, long-lived nonperturbative field configurations within the range of parameters corresponding to type-1 superconductors, that is, with vector masses ($m_v$) larger than scalar masses ($m_s$). We argue that these emergent nontopological configurations are related to oscillons found previously in other contexts. For the Abelian-Higgs model, our lattice implementation allows us to map the range of parameter space -- the values of $β= (m_s /m_v)^2$ -- where such configurations exist and to follow them for times $t \sim Ø(10^5) m^{-1}$. An investigation of their properties for $\hat z$-symmetric models reveals an enormously rich structure of resonances and mode-mode oscillations reminiscent of excited atomic states. For the SU(2) case, we present preliminary results indicating the presence of similar oscillonic configurations.

Magnetoasymmetric current fluctuations of single-electron tunneling

description: We determine the shot noise asymmetry of a quantum dot under reversal of an external magnetic field. The dot is coupled to edge states which invert their chirality when the field is reversed, leading to a magnetoasymmetric electrochemical potential in the nanostructure. Surprisingly, we find an exact relation between the magnetoasymmetries corresponding to the nonlinear conductance and the shot noise to leading order in the applied bias, implying a higher-order fluctuation-dissipation relationship. Our calculations also show a magnetoasymmetry of the full probability distribution of the transferred charge.

description: Using observed GALEX far-ultraviolet (FUV) fluxes and VLA images of the 21-cm HI column densities, along with estimates of the local dust abundances, we measure the volume densities of a sample of actively star-forming giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in the nearby spiral galaxy M83 on a typical resolution scale of 170 pc. Our approach is based on an equilibrium model for the cycle of molecular hydrogen formation on dust grains and photodissociation under the influence of the FUV radiation on the cloud surfaces of GMCs. We find a range of total volume densities on the surface of GMCs in M83, namely 0.1 - 400 cm-3 inside R25, 0.5 - 50 cm-3 outside R25 . Our data include a number of GMCs in the HI ring surrounding this galaxy. Finally, we discuss the effects of observational selection, which may bias our results.

description: [Context] The first detection of an atmosphere around an extrasolar planet was presented by Charbonneau and collaborators in 2002. In the optical transmission spectrum of the transiting exoplanet HD209458b, an absorption signal from sodium was measured at a level of 0.023+-0.006%, using the STIS spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope. Despite several attempts, so far only upper limits to the Na D absorption have been obtained using telescopes from the ground, and the HST result has yet to be confirmed. [Aims] The aims of this paper are to re-analyse data taken with the High Dispersion Spectrograph on the Subaru telescope, to correct for systematic effects dominating the data quality, and to improve on previous results presented in the literature. [Methods] The data reduction process was altered in several places, most importantly allowing for small shifts in the wavelength solution. The relative depth of all lines in the spectra, including the two sodium D lines, are found to correlate strongly with the continuum count level in the spectra. These variations are attributed to non-linearity effects in the CCDs. After removal of this empirical relation the uncertainties in the line depths are only a fraction above that expected from photon statistics. [Results] The sodium absorption due to the planet's atmosphere is detected at >5 sigma, at a level of 0.056+-0.007% (2x3.0 Ang band), 0.070+-0.011% (2x1.5 Ang band), and 0.135+-0.017% (2x0.75 Ang band). There is no evidence that the planetary absorption signal is shifted with respect to the stellar absorption, as recently claimed for HD189733b. The measurements in the two most narrow bands indicate that some signal is being resolved.[abridged]
