description: We report the results of a survey for fluorescent Ly-alpha emission carried out in the field surrounding the z=3.1 quasar QSO0420-388 using the FORS2 instrument on the VLT. We first review the properties expected for fluorescent Ly-alpha emitters, compared with those of other non-fluorescent Ly-alpha emitters. Our observational search detected 13 Ly-alpha sources sparsely sampling a volume of ~14000 comoving Mpc^3 around the quasar. The properties of these in terms of i) the line equivalent width, ii) the line profile and iii) the value of the surface brightness related to the distance from the quasar, all suggest that several of these may be plausibly fluorescent. Moreover, their number is in good agreement with the expectation from theoretical models. One of the best candidates for fluorescence is sufficiently far behind QSO0420-388 that it would imply that the quasar has been active for (at least) ~60 Myrs. Further studies on such objects will give information about proto-galactic clouds and on the radiative history (and beaming) of the high-redshift quasars.

Housing for female-led families : the potential to go beyond shelter
Creators: name: Mackniak, Cheryl A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: As the numbers of ‘non-traditional’ families, particularly single parent families increases, so do the number of associated problems, including finding adequate and affordable housing. These problems are attributed to a number of factors including: the inherent inequities in the primarily private market combined with the low economic status of these families; and housing policy which focuses on home ownership for the middle class ignoring the needs, and limiting the options available to renters such as single parents. This thesis examines the current housing situation faced by single parents in Canada, including their needs and the options available to them. The profile of single parent families is one which is predominately headed by women, who overall have a lower education than men, as well as married women; and under the age of 65 have the lowest incomes in Canada. This profile places these families in a difficult position vis-a-vis other families, particularly in the competitive housing markets that exist in larger centers, like Vancouver. Discrimination is often experienced when looking for housing, and insecure tenure, poor, inappropriate housing and inaccessible locations often plague single mothers when they do find somewhere to live. The case study examined found that there were many serious implications due to the lack of affordable and adequate shelter. The often overwhelming burden of finding stable housing led to many physical and emotional problems, homelessness, and the break-up of families, adversely affecting esteem and a personal sense of power. However, the results of this study indicate that alternative housing, such as the one studied in this thesis, can provide an affordable option for single parent families that not only more adequately meets the needs of these families, but provide concomitant benefits as well. In light of the continuing withdrawal of government funding for social housing, these far-reaching benefits are perhaps timely to consider when examining housing policy.
Title: The Structural Pillars of the Universe: Pattern, Balance, and Symmetry

Zenodo Description / Abstract

> This white paper defines the three structural pillars that underlie all physical and temporal phenomena in the universe: Pattern, Balance, and Symmetry (PBS). Rather than relying on observational data or speculative models, this work begins from structural logic—demonstrating that PBS is not optional, symbolic, or derived, but foundational.

The paper introduces each pillar, explores how they operate within the physical and temporal domains, and explains why their flow directions must oppose each other to preserve universal coherence. Using the Clockface Model, it shows how Balance acts as the universal anchor that stabilizes both domains. The paper also explains why no fourth pillar can exist without collapse, and why removal of any one renders the system incoherent.

As the structural core of Foundational Science, PBS provides the logical basis for everything from gravity to light to time itself. This white paper serves as the key reference for all works built on this framework.

description: Search strategies for the third-generation leptoquarks (LQs) are distinct from other LQ searches, especially when they decay to a top quark and a $τ$ lepton. We investigate the cases of all TeV-scale scalar and vector LQs that decay to either a top-tau pair (charge-$1/3$ and $5/3$ LQs) or a top-neutrino pair (charge-$2/3$ LQs). One can then use the boosted top (which can be tagged efficiently using jet-substructure techniques) and high-$p_{\rm T}$ $τ$ leptons to search for these LQs. We consider two search channels with either one or two taus along with at least one hadronically decaying boosted top quark. We estimate the high luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) search prospects of these LQs by considering both symmetric and asymmetric pair and single production processes. Our selection criteria are optimised to retain events from both pair and single production processes. The combined signal has better prospects than the traditional searches. We include new three-body single production processes to enhance the single production contributions to the combined signal. We identify the interference effect that appears in the dominant single production channel of charge-$1/3$ scalar LQ ($S^{1/3}$). This interference is constructive if $S^{1/3}$ is weak-triplet and destructive, for a singlet one. As a result, their LHC prospects differ appreciably.

description: Several studies have proven the in vitro restoration of pathological situations of haemostasis on samples from haemophilia patiens, by adding recombinant factor IX. In the present study, which is part of the Graduate Program ‘Nanosciences & Nanotechnologies’, mRNA was isolated from blood and transcripted by reverse transcriptase. The resulted cDNA of factor IX was amplified by polymerase chain reaction and was cloned into pET29c vector. The truncated factor IX was overexpressed with a histidine tail, using E. coli BL21 cells and purified by affinity chromatography (with Ni-IDA agarose). The purified recombinant factor IX was then conjugated with chemical modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes, and was encapsulated in poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) sponges and in alginate microspheres. The activity of recombinant factor IX was then estimated, in order to study their potential use in nano-biomedical applications.
Z-boson as "the standard candle" for high precision W-boson physics at LHC

description: In this paper we propose a strategy for measuring the inclusive W-boson production processes at LHC. This strategy exploits simultaneously the unique flexibility of the LHC collider in running variable beam particle species at variable beam energies, and the configuration flexibility of the LHC detectors. We propose their concrete settings for a precision measurement of the Standard Model parameters. These dedicated settings optimise the use of the Z boson and Drell-Yan pair production processes as ``the standard reference candles''. The presented strategy allows to factorise and to directly measure those of the QCD effects which affect differently the W and Z production processes. It reduces to a level of 10^{-4} the impact of uncertainties in the partonic distribution functions (PDFs) and in the transverse momentum of the quarks on the measurement precision. Last but not the least, it reduces by a factor of 10 an impact of systematic measurement errors, such as the energy scale and the measurement resolution, on the W-boson production observables.

description: This report analyzes Plato’s treatment of Dorian politics in Book III of his Laws. That treatment tests and finds insufficient a premise stated in Book I, that virtue is the necessary and sufficient condition for political prosperity. This premise is used to support the criteria of wise legislation set down in Books I and II. In challenging this premise, Plato uses Book III to show that wise legislation cannot aim for or rely upon virtue alone, be it civic or philosophic; wise legislation must look to the lower necessities, and most of all, the necessity of a mixed regime.

description: We consider the effect of the coupling between 2D quantum rotors near an XY ferromagnetic quantum critical point and spins of itinerant fermions. We analyze how this coupling affects the dynamics of rotors and the self-energy of fermions.A common belief is that near a $q=0$ ferromagnetic transition, fermions induce an $Ω/q$ Landau damping of rotors (i.e., the dynamical critical exponent is $z=3$) and Landau overdamped rotors give rise to non-Fermi liquid fermionic self-energy $Σ\propto ω^{2/3}$. This behavior has been confirmed in previous quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) studies.Here we show that for the XY case the behavior is different.We report the results of large scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations,which show that at small frequencies $z=2$ and $Σ\propto ω^{1/2}$. We argue that the new behavior is associated with the fact that a fermionic spin is by itself not a conserved quantity due to spin-spin coupling to rotors, and a combination of self-energy and vertex corrections replaces $1/q$ in the Landau damping by a constant. We discuss the implication of these results to experiments.

description: This project is going to explore Muslim interactions with Hindus from the Classical Period through the Modern Period through an Islamic lens. Due to a deterioration of relations and discourse between the two groups, a framework will be provided through Fed Donner’s Muhammad and the Believers and Ibn Qayyim’s discussion of Ahl al-Kitab (People of the Book) to show that a discourse between the two groups should not be seen as alien. Then a survey of early interactions, the Mughal period, and the Modern period will be provided through discussions of scholars and their scholarship from their time. Through these discussions, sufficient evidence will be provided to show that Hindus have been seen in a tolerant light from Muslim scholars, even possibly People of the Book.

description: In this study, Lactarius deliciosus biomass was used as a biosorbent for the biosorption of three tetracycline antibiotics, chlortetracycline (CTC), doxycycline (DC), and tetracycline (TC), from aqueous solution. The biomass was characterized by Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of biosorbent amount (0.01–0.1g), pH (3.0–8.0), initial antibiotic concentration (30–300 mg/L for CTC and DC, and 5–50 mg/L for TC), contact time (2–120 min), and temperature (7 °C, 16 °C, 25 °C) were investigated. The maximum biosorption amount of CTC, DC, and TC was 216.4 ± 4.2 mg/g (pH 4.0), 121.2 ± 6.2 mg/g (pH 3.0), and 23.2 ± 2.1 mg/g (pH 7.0) at 25 °C, respectively. The biosorption amount of tetracyclines decreased with increasing temperature demonstrating that the biosorption processes were exothermic. The biosorptions of tetracyclines were favorable with negative ΔG° values for all temperatures. CTC and DC biosorption processes were well fitted to the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Freundlich isotherm models. TC biosorption data obeyed the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. Tap and drinking water samples spiked with tetracyclines were used as real samples for biosorption. The results showed that L. deliciosus biomass could be effectively used as a biosorbent for tetracycline antibiotics with high adsorption capacities.

We clearly identify a standard spectroscopic signature from single QDs and compare the exciton line width and biexciton (BX) binding energy for several QDs. We present this data for QDs spatially selected by etched mesas and metallic apertures. Time resolved photoluminescence (PL) from single electron-hole recombination in the ground state of the QD is investigated as a function of excitation power and temperature. The measurements reveal the presence of a background emission that delays the PL of excitons in the ground state.

description: Interactions between sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodium alginate (NaAlg) in aq. salts/hydrotrope (HDT) media have been investigated using conductivity method with changing the micellar parameters (e.g., critical micelles concentration (CMC), extent of micelle ionization (α), and bound counterions (β)) and thermodynamics of the micellization of SDS + NaAlg mixtures. CMC values and α were assessed from the plots of conductivity versus [SDS]. The micellization of SDS + NaAlg was enhanced in aq. electrolyte and aq. HDTs media. The formation of SDS + NaAlg micelles was found to happen delayed with an increase in temperature in water and aq. 10% (w/w) glycerol (GLY) solution, while in other employed solvents, micelle creation was observed to favor with an upsurge of working temperature. Thermodynamics of SDS + NaAlg mixtures were computed from temperature dependency of CMC. The values of ΔG0m were found negative for all the experiments, thereby, examined. The values of ΔHm0   in the micellization of SDS + NaAlg mixtures in H2O, H2O + sodium acetate (NaOAc), H2O + sodium benzoate (NaBenz), and H2O + 4-amino benzoic acid (4-ABA) media were observed positive, and, hence, the process was endothermic in these solvents. Micellization of SDS + NaAlg was exothermic in 10% (w/w) glycerol (GLY) solutions at all temperatures and in H2O + NaCl at 298.15 and 303.15 K. The values of ΔHm0 and ΔSm0  for SDS + NaAlg show that the hydrophobic, van der Waals and exothermic interactions are the driving forces between SDS and NaAlg in electrolytes and HDT media.

description: Braneworld models with induced gravity have the potential to replace dark energy as the explanation for the current accelerating expansion of the Universe. The original model of Dvali, Gabadadze and Porrati (DGP) demonstrated the existence of a ``self--accelerating'' branch of background solutions, but suffered from the presence of ghosts. We present a new large class of braneworld models which generalize the DGP model. Our models have negative curvature in the bulk, allow a second brane, and have general brane tensions and localized curvature terms. We exhibit three different kinds of ghosts, associated to the graviton zero mode, the radion, and the longitudinal components of massive graviton modes. The latter two species occur in the DGP model, for negative and positive brane tension respectively. In our models, we find that the two kinds of DGP ghosts are tightly correlated with each other, but are not always linked to the feature of self--acceleration. Our models are a promising laboratory for understanding the origins and physical meaning of braneworld ghosts, and perhaps for eliminating them altogether.

Gravitational Decoupling algorithm modifies the value of the conserved charges and thermodynamics properties in Lovelock Unique Vacuum theory

description: We provide an extension of the Gravitational Decoupling (algorithm) for the Lovelock theory with Unique Vacuum (LUV), which represents a simple way to solve the equations of motion. Due to the application of this algorithm, the energy of the system splits in the {\it energy of the seed solution} and the {\it energy of each quasi-LUV sector}. Under certain assumptions imposed, the total energy varies due to the contribution of energy of each quasi-LUV sector. It is provided a new solution, whose energy differs from the energy of the seed solution in a quantity that depends on the number of extra sources. The new solution has two inner horizons, which is a proper characteristic of itself. Furthermore, its thermodynamics differs from the seed solution, since our solution is always stable and does not have phase transitions. Since the first law of thermodynamics is modified by the presence of the matter fields, we provide a new version of the first law for LUV, where a local definition of the variation of energy is defined, and, where the entropy and temperature are consistent for LUV theory.

description: Mobile applications (hereafter, apps) collect a plethora of information regarding the user behavior and his device through third-party analytics libraries. However, the collection and usage of such data raised several privacy concerns, mainly because the end-user - i.e., the actual owner of the data - is out of the loop in this collection process. Also, the existing privacy-enhanced solutions that emerged in the last years follow an "all or nothing" approach, leaving the user the sole option to accept or completely deny the access to privacy-related data. This work has the two-fold objective of assessing the privacy implications on the usage of analytics libraries in mobile apps and proposing a data anonymization methodology that enables a trade-off between the utility and privacy of the collected data and gives the user complete control over the sharing process. To achieve that, we present an empirical privacy assessment on the analytics libraries contained in the 4500 most-used Android apps of the Google Play Store between November 2020 and January 2021. Then, we propose an empowered anonymization methodology, based on MobHide, that gives the end-user complete control over the collection and anonymization process. Finally, we empirically demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of such anonymization methodology thanks to HideDroid, a fully-fledged anonymization app for the Android ecosystem.

description: We study reported deviations between observations and theoretical predictions associated with the production of a pair of di-leptonically decaying top quarks at the LHC, and we examine the possibility that they reflect a signal of toponium formation. We investigate the production by gluon fusion of a color-singlet spin-0 toponium $η_t$ bound state of a top and anti-top quark, that then decays di-leptonically ($gg\toη_t \to \bar\ell \ell b \bar{b} ν\barν$). We find strong correlations favoring the production of di-lepton systems featuring a small angular separation in azimuth and a small invariant mass. Although toponium production only contributes to 0.8% of the total top-quark pair-production cross section at the 13 TeV LHC, there is a possibility that it can account for observed excesses in the narrow edges of phase space. We propose a method to discover toponium formation by `reconstructing' both its top and anti-top quark constituents in the di-lepton channel.

description: Many new physics models, including versions of supersymmetry characterized by $R$-parity violation (RPV), compressed mass spectra, long decay chains, or additional hidden sectors, predict the production of events with top quarks, low missing transverse momentum, and many additional quarks or gluons. The results of a search for new physics in events with two top quarks and additional jets are reported. The search is performed using events with at least seven jets and exactly one electron or muon. No requirement on missing transverse momentum is imposed. The study is based on a sample of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV corresponding to 137 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected with the CMS detector at the LHC in 2016-2018. The data are used to determine best fit values and upper limits on the cross section for pair production of top squarks in scenarios of RPV and stealth supersymmetry. Top squark masses up to 670 (870) GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level for the RPV (stealth) scenario, and the maximum observed local signal significance is 2.8 standard deviations for the RPV scenario with top squark mass of 400 GeV.

The Indian National Congress Party after the dynasty

description: Rajiv Gandhi's violent death in May 1991 signalled the end of an entire era for the Congress Party: the long-lasting rule of the dynasty was over. Subsequent developments in the party have raised the question of change versus continuity. Has the end of the dynasty led to the birth of a new Congress, or will the dynastic party structures and organizational features continue into the post-Gandhi period? The argument that I will be advancing throughout the thesis is that structural continuity has characterized the organizational order of the party in its postdynastic period. The most obvious indicators of this continuity are that the party continues to be a deinstitutionalized, loosely structured coglomerate of political bosses with varying bases of support; the party remains paralyzed by factionalism at all levels, yet it escapes splits and schisms; and the Congress Prime Minister continues to be at the apex of the decision-making pyramid. The important question for political scientists to answer is why continuity has taken precedence over drastic change. I shall maintain that structural continuity in the party's organizational order has come about primarily as a result of environmental pressures exerted by the turbulence in the party system that was undergoing a fundamental transformation. The Indian party system changed from a predominant into a more competitive one in the late 1980s and early 1990s as the election results for 1989-91 period suggest. Under this environmental condition, it has been the requirement of organizational survival amidst external change that both necessitated and facilitated the continuation of the old order in the party.

description: The discovery of atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) magnetic semiconductors has triggered enormous research interest recently. In this work, we use first-principles many-body perturbation theory to study a prototypical 2D ferromagnetic semiconductor, monolayer chromium tribromide (CrBr$_3$). With broken time-reversal symmetry, spin-orbit coupling, and excitonic effects included through the full-spinor $GW$ and $GW$ plus Bethe-Salpeter equation ($GW$-BSE) methods, we compute the frequency-dependent layer polarizability tensor and dielectric function tensor that govern the optical and magneto-optical properties. In addition, we provide a detailed theoretical formalism for simulating magnetic circular dichroism, magneto-optical Kerr effect, and Faraday effect, demonstrating the approach with monolayer CrBr$_3$. Due to reduced dielectric screening in 2D and the localized nature of the Cr $d$ orbitals, we find strong self-energy effects on the quasiparticle band structure of monolayer CrBr$_3$ that give a 3.8 eV indirect band gap. Also, excitonic effects dominate the low-energy optical and magneto-optical responses in monolayer CrBr$_3$ where a large exciton binding energy of 2.3 eV is found for the lowest bright exciton state with excitation energy at 1.5 eV. We further find that the magneto-optical signals demonstrate strong dependence on the excitation frequency and substrate refractive index. Our theoretical framework for modeling optical and magneto-optical effects could serve as a powerful theoretical tool for future study of optoelectronic and spintronics devices consisting of van der Waals 2D magnets.

description: Elastic electromagnetic nucleon form factors have long provided vital information about the structure and composition of these most basic elements of nuclear physics. The form factors are a measurable and physical manifestation of the nature of the nucleons' constituents and the dynamics that binds them together. Accurate form factor data obtained in recent years using modern experimental facilities has spurred a significant reevaluation of the nucleon and pictures of its structure; e.g., the role of quark orbital angular momentum, the scale at which perturbative QCD effects should become evident, the strangeness content, and meson-cloud effects. We provide a succinct survey of the experimental studies and theoretical interpretation of nucleon electromagnetic form factors.

Private and Secure Distributed Matrix Multiplication Schemes for Replicated or MDS-Coded Servers

description: In this paper, we study the problem of \emph{private and secure distributed matrix multiplication (PSDMM)}, where a user having a private matrix $A$ and $N$ non-colluding servers sharing a library of $L$ ($L>1$) matrices $B^{(0)}, B^{(1)},\ldots,B^{(L-1)}$, for which the user wishes to compute $AB^{(θ)}$ for some $θ\in [0, L)$ without revealing any information of the matrix $A$ to the servers, and keeping the index $θ$ private to the servers. Previous work is limited to the case that the shared library (\textit{i.e.,} the matrices $B^{(0)}, B^{(1)},\ldots,B^{(L-1)}$) is stored across the servers in a replicated form and schemes are very scarce in the literature, there is still much room for improvement. In this paper, we propose two PSDMM schemes, where one is limited to the case that the shared library is stored across the servers in a replicated form but has a better performance than state-of-the-art schemes in that it can achieve a smaller recovery threshold and download cost. The other one focuses on the case that the shared library is stored across the servers in an MDS-coded form, which requires less storage in the servers. The second PSDMM code does not subsume the first one even if the underlying MDS code is degraded to a repetition code as they are totally two different schemes.

description: We consider Kondo impurity systems with multiple local orbitals, such as rare earth ions in a metallic host or multi--level quantum dots coupled to metallic leads. It is shown that the multiplet structure of the local orbitals leads to multiple Kondo peaks above the Fermi energy $E_F$, and to ``shadow'' peaks below $E_F$. We use a slave boson mean field theory, which recovers the strong coupling Fermi liquid fixed point, to calculate the Kondo peak positions, widths, and heights analytically at T=0, and NCA calculations to fit the temperature dependence of high--resolution photoemission spectra of Ce compounds. In addition, an approximate conductance quantization for transport through multi--level quantum dots or single--atom transistors in the Kondo regime due to a generalized Friedel sum rule is demonstrated.
