description: Topological insulators (TIs) in three space dimensions can be characterized by a quantized magnetoelectric coefficient. However, this coupling does not have experimentally observable consequences in the presence of time-reversal symmetry, because the contributions of both bulk and surface states cancel each other. Instead, the characteristic response of a TI is a nonlinear magnetoelectric effect. Field theoretic aspects of the nonlinear magnetoelectric response and numerical calculations for experimentally relevant geometries are discussed. Distinct from this effect, the magnetoelectric coupling would bind a charge $\pm e/2$ in response to a monopole, which is referred to as Witten effect. If time reversal is broken explicitly, for instance, by a Zeeman field acting on the surface layer, the electromagnetic response of a TI can be described by a half-integer quantum Hall effect of surface electrons.

description: Πολλές έρευνες έχουν διερευνήσει τη σχέση της υπηρετικής ηγεσίας με εργασιακές στάσεις και συμπεριφορές, αναδεικνύοντας τον θετικό αντίκτυπό της σε αυτές. Στην παρούσα ερευνητική εργασία μελετάται ο ρόλος της υπηρετικής ηγεσίας στην εμφάνιση φιλότιμης οργανωσιακής συμπεριφοράς και εργασιακής ικανοποίησης εκπαιδευτικών προσχολικής εκπαίδευσης, που απασχολούνται στον ιδιωτικό τομέα. Το ενδιαφέρον για την εκπαιδευτική ηγεσία αντλείται από το γεγονός ότι αποτελεί έναν από τους σημαντικότερους παράγοντες επιτυχίας μιας σχολικής μονάδας, ενώ σύγχρονες έρευνες τοποθετούν την ηγεσία ως τον δεύτερο σημαντικότερο παράγοντα (μετά από τους εκπαιδευτικούς) που επηρεάζει τα μαθησιακά αποτελέσματα. Το ενδιαφέρον για την υπηρετική ηγεσία, ως μορφή ηγεσίας σε εκπαιδευτικές μονάδες, πηγάζει από τη φιλοσοφία του ηγέτη-υπηρέτη, ως πρότυπο για όλη την εκπαιδευτική κοινότητα, εκπαιδευτικούς, μαθητές και γονείς. Ύστερα από ποσοτική έρευνα που διεξήχθη σε 92 εκπαιδευτικούς προσχολικής εκπαίδευσης, που απασχολούνται σε ιδιωτικούς οργανισμούς, διαπιστώθηκε ότι υπάρχει μεγάλο ποσοστό εργασιακής ικανοποίησης και φιλότιμης οργανωσιακής συμπεριφοράς. Ακόμη, υποστηρίχθηκε η θετική συσχέτιση της υπηρετικής ηγεσίας με την εργασιακή ικανοποίηση, καθώς και η σχέση της προϋπηρεσίας των εκπαιδευτικών στον οργανισμό με την υπηρετική ηγεσία
description: Many research studies have shown the relationship between servant leadership of work attitudes and behaviors are highlighted by positive impacts. This research will focus on servant leadership in the emergence of organizational citizenship behavior and job satisfaction in pre-primary schools, specifically in the private sector. An interesting factor is that leadership in education is the most important success factors in the educational system, even though current research has placed leadership second (after teachers) who affect learning outcomes. What is fascinating of servant leadership in education, is based on the philosophy of leader as a servant, it has become a role model for the entire educational community, including teachers, students and parents. After quantitative research was conducted on teachers in pre-primary education, based in private school districts, it was found that there is a high percentage of job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behavior. A positive correlation between servant leadership and job satisfaction was confirmed, as well as the relationship of tenure of teachers in servant leadership’s positions

description: In the Soviet period, Turkmenistan specialized in cotton production. When the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 led to a breakdown of agricultural trade links between the former Soviet republics, Turkmenistan could no longer rely on assured supplies of wheat in exchange for its cotton, and the food security situation deteriorated. The government launched the Zerno (Grain) Program in 1991 to resolve emerging difficulties with wheat supply. The measures undertaken between 1991 and 2013 within the framework of this program included reorganization of the government control system for agriculture, transformation of farming structure, and implementation of land and water reform. Massive investments amounting to US$5.5 billion were made in opening up virgin lands for cultivation, development of new infrastructure for grain processing, and purchase of new farm machinery. The special attention to the grain sector led to rapid expansion of wheat production. Traditionally a wheat importer, Turkmenistan started exporting wheat in 2010. Forecasts by local experts show that, despite a population increase of about 30% during the next 15 years, Turkmenistan will be able to maintain wheat exports at the current level of 400,000 tons annually.

description: Optomechanical pattern forming instabilities in a cloud of cold atoms lead to self-organized spatial structures of light and atoms. Here, we consider the optomechanical self-structuring of a cold atomic cloud in the presence of a phase structured input field, carrying orbital angular momentum. For a planar ring cavity setup, a model of coupled cavity field and atomic density equations describes a wide range of drifting modulation instabilities in the transverse plane. This leads to the formation of rotating self-organized rings of light-atom lattices. Using linear stability analysis and numerical simulations of the coupled atomic and optical dynamics, we demonstrate the presence of macroscopic atomic transport corresponding to the pattern rotation, induced by the structured pump phase profile

Rewarding open access : The power of promotion and tenure
Creators: name: Hilstob, Kayla
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: This paper outlines faculty consideration for promotion and tenure as a major barrier for open access publishing. Through quantitative and qualitative study, faculty report feeling compelled to follow promotion and tenure requirements, which often include publishing in prestigious paywalled journals, rather than publishing according to their needs and preferences. While this is still the institutional norm, this study shows that there is some evidence that a number of institutions are increasingly incorporating open access publishing into promotion and tenure considerations, and that this trend is continuing over time. This paper further discusses opportunities for librarians in academic institutions to promote Open Access (OA) through proactive involvement in OA policy and practice in the realm of faculty promotion and tenure.
Charged dust close to outer mean-motion resonances in the heliosphere

description: We investigate the dynamics of charged dust close to outer mean-motion resonances with planet Jupiter. The importance of the interplanetary magnetic field on the orbital evolution of dust is clearly demonstrated. New dynamical phenomena are found that do not exist in the classical problem of uncharged dust. We find changes in the orientation of the orbital planes of dust particles, an increased amount of chaotic orbital motions, sudden 'jumps' in the resonant argument, and a decrease in time of temporary capture due to the Lorentz force. Variations in the orbital planes of dust grain orbits are found to be related to the angle between the orbital angular momentum and magnetic axes of the heliospheric field and the rotation rate of the Sun. These variations are bound using a simplified model derived from the full dynamical problem using first order averaging theory. It is found that the interplanetary magnetic field does not affect the capture process, that is still dominated by the other non-gravitational forces. Our study is based on a dynamical model in the framework of the inclined circular restricted three-body problem. Additional forces include solar radiation pressure, solar wind drag, the Poynting-Robertson effect, and the influence of a Parker spiral type interplanetary magnetic field model. The analytical estimates are derived on the basis of Gauss' form of planetary equations of motion. Numerical results are obtained by simulations of dust grain orbits together with the system of variational equations. Chaotic regions in phase space are revealed by means of Fast Lyapunov Chaos Indicators.

Time-dependent exchange-correlation current density functionals with memory

description: Most present applications of time-dependent density functional theory use adiabatic functionals, i.e. the effective potential at time t is determined solely by the density at the same time. This paper discusses a method that aims to go beyond this approximation, by incorporating "memory" effects: the potential will depend also on the history. We add to the adiabatic approximation an additional part that includes memory and yields a functional that is totally consis-tent with known dynamical properties of the homogeneous electron gas (in the linear response limit). In order to achieve this, we write down an action principle from which Kohn-Sham equations are derived for description of the time-dependent electron density and fluid velocity field. The action principle is built in such a way that it is Galilean invariant and yields causal equations.

description: In this chapter, we evaluate and analyze the outcomes of agrarian reform in post-Soviet Russia. The evaluations are not unambiguous and often contradictory. The reform has led to a clear change of the agrarian system in Russia, but not the entire population, and especially not all rural people, have come out as winners. The observed increase in agricultural labor productivity has been accompanied by shedding of labor in agriculture and increasing rural unemployment; the higher productivity of livestock has been accompanied by herd contraction; improved input efficiency has been accompanied by reduction of input use; improved financial stability of agricultural producers has been accompanied by higher frequency of bankruptcies; and increase of total support to agriculture has been accompanied by reduction of support efficiency. So far, Russia has not recovered to the pre-reform production volumes, the level of food self-sufficiency is below 90%, and imports exceed exports. A new middle class has not emerged in rural areas: most rural people are the new “proletariat” – they earn their livelihoods as hired workers and many of them have lost their land. We observe increasing concentration of agricultural production in large vertically integrated structures with a multiplicity of agricultural subsidiaries, structures that are without analogues in developed economies. The evaluation of Russia’s reform requires a multi-faceted analysis of the entire range of outcomes, allowing for all pluses and minuses. It is only in this way that we can draw valid conclusions from experience and develop recommendations for the future.

description: We present new XMM-Newton observations of the hot-gas environments of two low-power twin-jet radio galaxies, 3C 66B and 3C 449, showing direct evidence for the interactions between X-ray-emitting gas and radio plasma that are thought to determine the large-scale radio structure of these sources. The temperatures that we measure for the two environments are significantly higher than those predicted by standard luminosity-temperature relations for clusters and groups. We show that luminosity-temperature relations for radio-quiet and radio-loud X-ray groups differ, in the sense that radio-source heating may operate in most groups containing radio galaxies. If the radio lobes are expanding subsonically, we find minimum ages of 3e8 years for 3C 66B, and 5e8 years for 3C 449, older than the values obtained from spectral ageing, which would give the radio source sufficient time to heat the groups to the observed temperatures for plausible values of the jet power. The external pressures in the atmospheres of both radio galaxies are an order of magnitude higher than equipartition estimates of their radio-lobe pressures, confirming that the radio lobes are either out of equipartition or require a pressure contribution from non-radiating particles. Constraints from the level of X-ray emission we measure from the radio lobes allow us to conclude that a departure from equipartition must be in the direction of magnetic domination, and that the most plausible candidates for a particle contribution to lobe pressure are relativistic protons, an additional population of low-energy electrons, or entrained and heated thermal material.

description: Until recently, relativistic jets were ubiquitously found to be launched from giant elliptical galaxies. However, the detection by the Fermi-LAT of gamma-ray emission from radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 (RL-NLSy1) galaxies raised doubts on this relation. Here, we morphologically characterize a sample of 29 RL-NLSy1s (including 12 gamma-ray emitters, gamma-NLSy1s) in order to find clues on the conditions needed by AGN to produce relativistic jets. We use deep near-infrared images from the Nordic Optical Telescope and the ESO VLT to analyze the surface brightness distribution of the galaxies in the sample. We detected 72% of the hosts (24% classified as gamma-NLSy1s). Although we cannot rule out that some RL-NLSy1s are hosted by dispersion supported systems, our findings strongly indicate that RL-NLSy1s hosts are preferentially disc galaxies. 52% of the resolved hosts (77% non-gamma-emitters and 20% gamma-emitters) show bars with morphological properties (long and weak) consistent with models that promote gas inflows, which might trigger nuclear activity. The extremely red bulges of the gamma-NLSy1s, and features that suggest minor mergers in 75% of their hosts might hint to the necessary conditions for gamma-rays to be produced. Among the features that suggest mergers in our sample, we find 6 galaxies that show offset stellar bulges with respect to their AGN. When we plot the nuclear versus the bulge magnitude, RL-NLSy1s locate in the low-luminosity end of flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs), suggesting a similar accretion mode between these two AGN types.

description: This study o§ers a high-resolution model of an economy-wide water supply. The model is su¢ ciently detailed to represent all main water sources; the principal segments of the con- veyance system; urban, industrial and agricultural demand regions; and various water types, including fresh, saline, and recycled water. The model characterizes the optimal-spatial water allocation and establishes a comprehensive system of pumping levies and user fees that supports the optimal allocation. In addition, it enables simulating government pricing policies and assessing the welfare consequences of deviation from the optimal ones. The model is calibrated for Israeli 2010 data, and its usefulness is demonstrated by an evaluation of the economy-wide cost function and an assessment of the welfare cost of the recent Israeli Balanced Budget Water Economy legislation. Finally, the implications for international water trading between Israel and its neighbours are derived.

description: The photon emissivity from the bremsstrahlung process ee-> eeγoccuring in the electrosphere at the bare surface of a strange quark star is calculated. For surface temperatures T<10^9K, the photon flux exceeds that of e+e- pairs that are produced via the Schwinger mechanism in the presence of a strong electric field that binds electrons to the surface of the quark star. The average energy of photons emitted from the bremsstrahlung process can be 0.5 MeV or more, which is larger than that in e+e- pair annihilation. The observation of this distinctive photon spectrum would constitute an unmistakable signature of a strange quark star and shed light on color superconductivity at stellar densities.

description: Low-temperature X-ray photoemission electron microscopy (X-PEEM) is used to measure the electric potential at domain walls in improper ferroelectric Er0.99Ca0.01MnO3. By combining X-PEEM with scanning probe microscopy and theory, we develop a model that relates the detected X-PEEM contrast to the emergence of uncompensated bound charges, explaining the image formation based on intrinsic electronic domain-wall properties. In contrast to previously applied low-temperature electrostatic force microscopy (EFM), X-PEEM readily distinguishes between positive and negative bound charges at domain walls. Our study introduces an X-PEEM based approach for low-temperature electrostatic potential mapping, facilitating nanoscale spatial resolution and data acquisition times in the order of 0.1-1 sec.

description: In this paper, we calculate the entanglement-assisted classical information capacity of amplitude damping channel and compare it with the particular mutual information which is considered as the entanglement-assisted classical information capacity of this channel in Ref. 6. It is shown that the difference between them is very small. In addition, we point out that using partial symmetry and concavity of mutual information derived from dense coding scheme one can simplify the calculation of entanglement-assisted classical information capacities for non-unitary-covariant quantum noisy channels.

description: We report the discovery of a very young high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) system associated with the supernova remnant (SNR) MCSNRJ0513-6724 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), using XMM-Newton X-ray observations. The HMXB is located at the geometrical centre of extended soft X-ray emission, which we confirm as an SNR. The HMXB spectrum is consistent with an absorbed power law with spectral index ~1.6 and a luminosity of 7x10^{33} ergs/s (0.2--12 keV). Tentative X-ray pulsations are observed with a periodicity of 4.4 s and the OGLE I-band light curve of the optical counterpart from more than 17.5 years reveals a period of 2.2324\pm0.0003 d, which we interpret as the orbital period of the binary system. The X-ray spectrum of the SNR is consistent with non-equilibrium shock models as expected for young/less evolved SNRs. From the derived ionisation time scale we estimate the age of the SNR to be <6 kyr. The association of the HMXB with the SNR makes it the youngest HMXB, in the earliest evolutionary stage known to date. A HMXB as young as this can switch on as an accreting pulsar only when the spin period has reached a critical value. Under this assumption, we obtain an upper limit to the magnetic field of < 5x10^{11} G. This implies several interesting possibilities including magnetic field burial, possibly by an episode of post-supernova hyper-critical accretion. Since these fields are expected to diffuse out on a timescale of 10^{3}-10^{4} years, the discovery of a very young HMXB can provide us the unique opportunity to observe the evolution of the observable magnetic field for the first time in X-ray binaries.

description: Exploitation of alternative water sources is expected to grow in the decades to come in waterstressed countries with fast population growth, especially in regions where a further decline of natural freshwater availability is expected due to climate change. Increasing utilization of nonfreshwater usually leads to salinity build-up in fields and water sources as well as accumulation of various pollutants - both having a considerable impact on the suitability of non-freshwater for irrigation due to constraints associated with crop salinity tolerance and food safety regulations. We developed a linked CGE - farm-level model of a water economy with representation for multiple water types characterized by different qualities. We employ the model to assess the impact of water shortage on the Israeli economy, where a steadily growing water scarcity is leading to an increasing utilization of alternative water sources. We simulate water shortage scenarios based on the Long Term National Master Plan for The Water Economy developed by the Israeli Water Authority (IWA). The linked CGE - farm-level model provides a mechanism for estimating the Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) rates between different irrigation water types used in agriculture. This mechanism accounts for the effects of salinity on yields and takes into consideration food safety regulations for irrigating crops with treated wastewater. We demonstrate that, in contrast to previous studies, CES rates between different water types are not identical. The CES rates obtained in our study have relatively low values, which can be attributed to the constraints associated with crop salinity tolerance and food safety regulations. Our results reveal that water shortage can lead to a significant decline of Israel’s GDP, where a considerable part of the decline is attributed to the decrease in agricultural outputs. The magnitude of the impact depends on the underlying assumptions regarding future desalination capacity. To further study the effect of desalination, we run simulations under various desalination levels and examine its impact on the GDP. We also examine the extent to which the impact of water shortage is sensitive to CES rates between different irrigation water types.

description: Fluctuations in environmental temperature affect energy metabolism and stimulate the expression of reversible phenotypic plasticity in vertebrate behavioural and physiological traits. Changes in circulating concentrations of glucocorticoid hormones often underpin environmentally induced phenotypic plasticity. Ongoing climate change is predicted to increase fluctuations in environmental temperature globally, making it imperative to determine the standing phenotypic variation in glucocorticoid responses of free-living populations to evaluate their potential for coping via plastic or evolutionary changes. Using a reaction norm approach, we repeatedly sampled wild great tit (Parus major) individuals for circulating glucocorticoid concentrations during reproduction across five years to quantify individual variation in glucocorticoid plasticity along an environmental temperature gradient. As expected, baseline and stress-induced glucocorticoid concentrations increased with lower environmental temperatures at the population and within-individual level. Moreover, we provide unique evidence that individuals differ significantly in their plastic responses to the temperature gradient for both glucocorticoid traits, with some displaying greater plasticity than others. Average concentrations and degree of plasticity covaried for baseline glucocorticoids, indicating that these two reaction norm components are linked. Hence, individual variation in glucocorticoid plasticity to a key environmental factor exists in a wild vertebrate population, representing a crucial step to assess their potential to endure temperature fluctuations.
Linear and non linear response in the aging regime of the 1D trap model

description: We investigate the behaviour of the response function in the one dimensional trap model using scaling arguments that we confirm by numerical simulations. We study the average position of the random walk at time tw+t given that a small bias h is applied at time tw. Several scaling regimes are found, depending on the relative values of t, tw and h. Comparison with the diffusive motion in the absence of bias allows us to show that the fluctuation dissipation relation is, in this case, valid even in the aging regime.

description: Parametrizations of Equation of state parameter as a function of the scale factor or redshift are frequently used in dark energy modeling. The question investigated in this paper is if parametrizations proposed in the literature are compatible with the dark energy being a barotropic fluid. The test of this compatibility is based on the functional form of the speed of sound squared, which for barotropic fluid dark energy follows directly from the function for the Equation of state parameter. The requirement that the speed of sound squared should be between 0 and speed of light squared provides constraints on model parameters using analytical and numerical methods. It is found that this fundamental requirement eliminates a large number of parametrizations as barotropic fluid dark energy models and puts strong constraints on parameters of other dark energy parametrizations.

Mistake proofing laboratory monitoring for alemtuzumab treated patients with multiple sclerosis
Creators: name: Barclay, Krista Marie
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Background: The outpatient laboratory monitoring process involves the coordination of multiple systems in healthcare and this complexity makes it prone to failures. As laboratory monitoring becomes a part of the standard of care for certain conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, healthcare providers rely on these systems to prevent delays in identification, diagnosis and treatment of serious adverse events. Purpose: Using mistake-proofing methodology, this project was designed to identify, prioritize and generate solutions to the risks of laboratory monitoring with alemtuzumab; Alemtuzumab is an immune modulating agent used in multiple sclerosis, which has a demanding monitoring schedule and the potential for life threatening secondary conditions in the four years after treatment. Methods: The tools used for this analysis were process mapping, failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), risk prioritization, targeted questioning and solution prioritization. Results: Adapting tools from other risk-prone systems may provide a framework for conceptualizing risk, but these tools need to be adapted to reflect the principles, outcomes and values of healthcare. These tools, however, can support the development of recommendations in the use of the mistake proofing method and health care initiatives to address the risks in laboratory monitoring for patients with multiple sclerosis, treated with alemtuzumab. Conclusions: Patient engagement, clinic flexibility in supporting patients and involvement of registered nurses are important to decreasing risks in laboratory monitoring of those treated with alemtuzumab.

description: We apply the Multi-Year Water Allocation System (MYWAS) mathematical programming model to Israel’s water economy to conduct statewide, long-term analyses of three topics associated with agricultural reuse of wastewater. We find that: (1) enabling agricultural irrigation with treated wastewater significantly reduces the optimal capacity levels of seawater and brackish-water desalination over the simulated 3-decade period, and increases Israel’s welfare by 2 billion USD in terms of present values; (2) a policy requiring desalination of treated wastewater pre-agricultural reuse, as a method to prevent long-run damage to the soil and groundwater, reduces welfare by 1.5 billion USD; hence, such a policy is warranted only if the avoided damages exceed this welfare loss; (3) desalination of treated wastewater in order to increase freshwater availability for agricultural irrigation is not optimal, since the costs overwhelm the generated agricultural benefits. We also find the results associated with these three topics to be sensitive to the natural recharge of Israel’s freshwater aquifers.
Three-loop contributions to the $ρ$ parameter and iterated integrals of modular forms

description: We compute fully analytic results for the three-loop diagrams involving two different massive quark flavours contributing to the $ρ$ parameter in the Standard Model. We find that the results involve exactly the same class of functions that appears in the well-known sunrise and banana graphs, namely elliptic polylogarithms and iterated integrals of modular forms. Using recent developments in the understanding of these functions, we analytically continue all the iterated integrals of modular forms to all regions of the parameter space, and in each region we obtain manifestly real and fast-converging series expansions for these functions.

description: Glycoaldehyde, ethylene glycol, and methyl formate are complex organic molecules that have been observed in dark molecular clouds. Because there is no efficient gas-phase route to produce these species, it is expected that a low-temperature surface route existst that does not require energetic processing. CO hydrogenation experiments at low temperatures showed that this is indeed the case. Glyoxal can form through recombination of two HCO radicals and is then further hydrogenated. Here we aim to constrain the methyl formate, glycolaldehyde, and ethylene glycol formation on the surface of interstellar dust grains through this cold and dark formation route. We also probe the dependence of the grain mantle composition on the initial gas-phase composition and the dust temperature. A full CO hydrogenation reaction network was built based on quantum chemical calculations for the rate constants and branching ratios. This network was used in combination with a microscopic kinetic Monte Carlo simulation to simulate ice chemistry, taking into account all positional information. After benchmarking the model against CO-hydrogenation experiments, simulations under molecular cloud conditions were performed. COMs are formed in all interstellar conditions we studied, even at temperatures as low as 8 K. This is because the HCO + HCO reaction can occur when HCO radicals are formed close to each other and do not require to diffuse. Relatively low abundances of methyl formate are formed. The final COM abundances depend more on the H-to-CO ratio and less on temperature. Only above 16 K, where CO build-up is less efficient, does temperature start to play a role. Molecular hydrogen is predominantly formed through abstraction reactions on the surface. Our simulations are in agreement with observed COM ratios for mantles that have been formed at low temperatures.
