A dual information single process model of recognition
Creators: name: Kang, Mengxue
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: In recognition, remember responses are understood to be based on recollection and know responses are understood to be based on familiarity. Two kinds of models have been proposed for the process by which recognition decisions are made. In single process models, familiarity and recollection are integrated and there is a single criterion for recognition. In dual process models, familiarity and recollection are segregated and there are separate criteria for remember and know judgments. Recent process models can account for the distribution of remember and know responses (under a range of different assumptions), but do not address the time course of the recognition process. Paradoxical findings, indicating that familiarity is available faster than recollection but remember responses are on average faster than know responses, cannot be convincingly explained by any existing dual process model. We propose a new model that resolves this paradox by analyzing in detail the time course of recollection and familiarity. Know responses based on the high familiarity of the test item are faster than remember responses based on recollection. However, low familiarity, low recollection responses are slow and are also categorized by participants as know responses. Hence, the average know response time is slower than average remember response time because know responses include both fast, high familiarity responses and slow, low familiarity, low recollection responses. A 12-parameter quantitative model describes the relationship among the effects of confidence, accuracy, and remember and know categorization on accuracy and reaction time (RT). The r2 = .92 for the fit between expected RT and observed RT for targets and lures.

description: The weak Jacobi forms of integral weight and integral index associated to an even positive definite lattice form a bigraded algebra. In this paper we prove a criterion for this type of algebra being free. As an application, we give an automorphic proof of K. Wirthmüller's theorem which asserts that the bigraded algebra of weak Jacobi forms invariant under the Weyl group is a polynomial algebra for any irreducible root system not of type $E_8$. This approach is also applicable to $E_8$. Even if the algebra of $E_8$ Jacobi forms is known to be non-free, we still derive a new structure result.

description: We present the exact solution for the full dynamics of a nonequilibrium spin chain and its dual reaction-diffusion model, for arbitrary initial conditions. The spin chain is driven out of equilibrium by coupling alternating spins to two thermal baths at different temperatures. In the reaction-diffusion model, this translates into spatially alternating rates for particle creation and annihilation, and even negative ``temperatures'' have a perfectly natural interpretation. Observables of interest include the magnetization, the particle density, and all correlation functions for both models. Two generic types of time-dependence are found: if both temperatures are positive, the magnetization, density and correlation functions decay exponentially to their steady-state values. In contrast, if one of the temperatures is negative, damped oscillations are observed in all quantities. They can be traced to a subtle competition of pair creation and annihilation on the two sublattices. We comment on the limitations of mean-field theory and propose an experimental realization of our model in certain conjugated polymers and linear chain compounds.

Centering the region : the process of place making in Cumberland, BC
Creators: name: Paul, Amber C.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Across Canada, residents living in rural communities face an uncertain future. As our natural resources continue to decline and commodity prices remain low, many resource-based industries are closing down their operations. For those communities dependant on extracting or processing these resources, the closing down of the industry can often result in the loss of the economic viability of the town. With little else to support the residents, populations decline and the future of the community is threatened. For those communities determined to retain their residents and find alternative means of employment, making the transition from a resource-based economy to a diversified economy poses a huge challenge. Priorities shift with the growing need for new economic stimuli, which too often results in unmanaged growth that modifies the physical and social structure of the town. Quick development projects unaware of their inherent context threaten the unique character of the community. The village of Cumberland on Vancouver Island is a community facing such a situation. Having recently expanded its borders to incorporate an additional 22 square kilometers of land, Cumberland is suddenly presented with several opportunities for development. One of the development proposals being put forth concerns an area of land surrounding the Cumberland Interchange on the new Island Highway (Highway 19). Due to its strategic position as the entrance/exit point for the entire Comox Valley, the Interchange is considered a priority for development. The fear shared by many of the residents of Cumberland is that the commercial development will translate into large scale "big box" businesses and will negatively impact the image of Cumberland. As such, the challenge for Cumberland is to create a framework in which to guide the development process while preserving its unique local identity. This thesis project addresses this challenge by adopting an intensive methodology incorporating various levels of analysis at a range of scales. The process produced a series of design objectives intended to guide such development, and to stimulate exploration of various design opportunities. The result is an informed design that utilizes the economic potential of the region, enhances local identity and community connections, and provides the village of Cumberland with a socially sustainable vision for growth.

description: This report presents an alternative perspective on how respondents consider choice experiment options. Building on the ‘new’ model of consumer demand by Stigler and Becker (1977), the report suggests that the attributes within choice experiments are not valued directly. Rather, they are used to generate higher-level improvement in the environment (‘constructs’). This implies that to achieve the environmental outcome, what are currently viewed as marginal utilities of attributes are in fact marginal utilities mixed with (subjective) marginal productivity of the attribute. The research report also proposes that hierarchical Information integration methods may allow separate identification of the utility and production functions, and the individual heterogeneity therein.

The Navier-Stokes equations in streamfunction and vorticity formulation are solved numerically using a fine uniform grid mesh of 601x601. The steady driven cavity solutions are computed for Re<21,000 with a maximum absolute residuals of the governing equations that were less than 10-10. A new quaternary vortex at the bottom left corner and a new tertiary vortex at the top left corner of the cavity are observed in the flow field as the Reynolds number increases. Detailed results are presented and comparisons are made with benchmark solutions found in the literature.

People versus planners: Social Preferences for Adaptation to Climate Change

Year: 2009
Subjects: Environmental Economics and Policy

description: Adaptation of natural and human systems to climate change is receiving increased attention. The academic literature covers a wide spectrum of perspectives. Policy considerations, on the other hand, are largely driven by techno-scientific considerations. In particular, these include a risk-management approach. Climate change, however, is inherently uncertain – because the risks cannot be quantified, conventional risk-management approaches are inappropriate. The ‘real options’ economic theory is used for least-cost adaptation strategies. Identifying individuals’ preferences and priorities is a necessary pre-condition for estimating the benefits of adaptation strategies. Yet little has been done in this area. As a first step towards estimating individuals’ willingness to pay for adaptation measures, this research paper proposes to identify and compare priorities and preferences of planners, communities and individuals.

description: This research paper is very significant for language teachers because learners may have different personalities, social lives, and ethnicities. Instructors should pay attention to the group of learners and their needs. Educators take into account their family habits, social status, and language levels. Because of their background knowledge and learning habits, they acquire the new skills easily, and their knowledge is better than that of the second group. Social life and the people around us can influence language use and learning context.

description: This report presents results of research designed to investigate variations in willingness to pay (WTP) estimates across different scales and scopes of environmental investments. The goal is to help catchment management authorities better prioritise their natural resource management actions at both catchment and farm levels. Five split samples were used to test for scale and scope effects. A choice-modelling (CM) analysis was used to elicit household WTP for improvements in environmental quality attributes in the Namoi catchment. The approach was developed so that value estimates could be more accurately transferred between different action scopes.

description: Within this paper, we present an interactive modelling approach to support budgeting decisions at the program level and discuss its potential and limitations to contribute to more objective-oriented policy-making. The central feature of the approach is a linear optimisation model which is interactively defined and used together with the Ministry of Agriculture and the Environment in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. We show how the current EAFRD framework can be translated into a model, and how this provides positive learning effects and increases in-house communication and transparency. From a conceptual point of view, the case study underlines the necessity to provide a simple and applicable methodology causing certain compromises with regard to theoretical soundness.
Augmenting tumor antigen re-presentation to improve immunity to cancer
Creators: name: Estupinian, Ricardo A.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: Immuno-oncology (IO) has revolutionized the treatment of cancer by harnessing and boosting the inherent ability of the immune system to recognize and eliminate tumors. However, only a small portion of patients treated with any single cancer immunotherapy demonstrate a response. Importantly, those patients who do respond, do not typically experience durable long-term benefit. Therefore, it is vital for us to determine how immunotherapy can overcome the barriers to potent anti-tumor immune responses in a greater proportion of patients. An initial requirement for the long-term (i.e., memory) and widespread (i.e., systemic) immune responses is recognition of the tumor by the immune system. This basic function of immunity is thwarted by properties and capabilities of the cancer that allow it to develop and persist. Fundamental among these is reduction and suppression of innate tumor antigen presentation which prohibits memory and systemic adaptive immune responses. Although precision medicine increasingly is allowing us to determine mutations shared across patients with similar tumor types, our current knowledge of which resulting mutation-induced tumor antigens should be targeted for optimal anti-tumor immune responses is lacking. Further, the cost and time necessary to develop these personalized therapies is prohibitive and related clinical trials, thus far, have not demonstrated improved cancer outcomes. Importantly, we know that the immune system is capable of effective responses even in the context of extreme danger. When antigens associated with danger are visible to a stimulated immune system, such as in the context of pathogens, potent actions are taken by immune populations. The hazardous cause is removed, and specific long-term and systemic immunity is created To recreate such outcomes in the context of cancer, in this dissertation work I have sought to develop an efficient, cost-effective, rapidly constructed platform to create augmented anti-tumor immune responses within the tumor microenvironment. Specifically, I have targeted improving tumor antigen presentation by re-presenting the whole spectrum of tumor antigens to the immune system via the utilization of nanoparticle biotechnology. I have termed this platform, the Antigen Maximizing Presentation System [AMPS]. The strength of the approach is that it does not require a priori knowledge of the antigens (including sequence or number) that need to be targeted for an optimal immune response. It is not limited to any specific type of tumor, and it utilizes inherent potent immune responses to deliver improved anti-tumor immunity. Our findings in the context of a mouse melanoma (B16-F10) model suggest that antigen presentation is improved by this platform and results in reduced tumor growth.

description: Two separate, but interlinked methodological approaches – the modelling approach and non-modelling approach – have been used in a study commissioned by DG Agriculture and Rural Development to understand the impact of Modulation. In these two approaches a range of methodological and analytical tools are used, as follows: Non-modelling Approach • Literature Review; • Case Studies carried out in eight Member States; • Questionnaires carried out by telephone interviews in the 19 Member States, in which case studies were not conducted; • CMEF Indicators – collation of information on output, result and impact indicators for the case study Member States. Modelling Approach: • Budget model, tailor made for the project, provides much of the financial detail that is specific to the study; • A suite of economic models (LEITAP, ESIM, CAPRI and FES) to assess the economic and sectoral impacts; • Dyna-CLUE, a land-use model, allows the results from the economic models to be disaggregated spatially. Some of these tools offer projections, others, such as the case studies, provide insights that are context-specific, whilst others provide information on impacts that can be compared across the EU-27. Individually they do not provide a comprehensive picture of the full range of impacts arising from different modulation scenarios. However, the methodology has been developed in such a way so that the data generated from these different approaches is complimentary and may be triangulated. This means that the results from different methodological tools can be cross-checked and validated.

description: The objective of IFPRI's multicountry research program on rural financial policies for food security of the poor is to identify policies and institutional arrangements that help the poor integrate themselves into sustainable savings and credit systems such that they have an increased capacity to invest, bear risk, and smooth consumption. The focus of the research on policy and program design and their effects on household investment and consumption requires field data collection at the institutional and household level. This paper presents the underlying conceptual framework and various methodological approaches that have been reviewed and tested by the team at IFPRI and at collaborating institutions. Methodologies are presented for analysis at the institutional level, mainly focusing on the determinants of the formation of financial institutions and the analysis of effects of program design on institutional conduct and performance, and at the household level, thereby addressing determinants of access to and participation in financial markets and related effects on household welfare.

description: Many of the challenges facing children now are a function of the changing times, including increases in urbanization, political violence, changing family forms, and, in some areas, decreased supplies of adequate food. This paper reviews the evolving nature of these risks. In addition, the paper analyzes the development of formal and informal strategies to ameliorate the vulnerability and promote the resilience of young children to these risks. The paper identifies four stages in the research process regarding risks for children: (1) identification of the risk; (2) clarification of etiology and consequences; (3) recognition of resilience among some individuals; and (4) definition of factors in resilience and implications for intervention.

description: In the minimal supersymmetric standard model extended by including right-handed neutrinos with see-saw mechanism, the neutrino Yukaka couplings can be as large as the top-quark Yukawa couplings and thus the neutrino/sneutrino may cause sizable effects in Higgs boson self-energy loops. Our explicit one-loop calculations show that the neutrino/sneutrino effects may have an opposite sign to top/stop effects and thus lighten the lightest Higgs boson. If the soft-breaking mass of the right-handed neutrino is very large (at the order of Majorana mass scale), such as in the split-SUSY scenario, the effects can lower the lightest Higgs boson mass by a few tens of GeV. So the Higgs mass bound of about 150 GeV in split-SUSY may be lowered significantly if right-handed neutrinos come into play with see-saw mechanism.

description: This paper presents new evidence on the association between gender and poverty based on an empirical analysis of 11 data sets from 10 developing countries. The paper computes income- and expenditure-based poverty measures and investigates their sensitivity to the use of per capita and per adult equivalent units. It also tests for differences in poverty incidence between individuals in male- and female-headed households using stochastic dominance analysis. Stochastic dominance analysis reveals that differences between male- and female-headed households among the very poor are not sufficiently large that one can conclude that one is unambiguously worse- or better-off, except for a few exceptions. When we use the method of endogenous bounds, persons in female-headed households in rural Ghana and Bangladesh are consistently worse-off, using two stochastic dominance criteria. These results suggest that, among the very poor, persons in male- and female-headed households may not differ significantly. The consistent and significant exceptions, rural Ghana and Bangladesh, suggest that cultural and institutional factors may be responsible for higher poverty among women in these countries. Our results point to the need to analyze determinants of household income and consumption using multivariate methods, and to give greater attention to the processes underlying female headship.

A linearised inverse conductivity problem for the Maxwell system at a high frequency

description: We consider a linearised inverse conductivity problem for electromagnetic waves in a three dimensional bounded domain at a high time-harmonic frequency. Increasing stability bounds for the conductivity coefficient in the full Maxwell system and in a simplified transverse electric mode are derived. These bounds contain a Lipschitz term with a factor growing polynomially in terms of the frequency, a Holder term, and a logarithmic term which decays with respect to the frequency as a power. To validate this increasing stability numerically, we propose a reconstruction algorithm aiming at the recovery of sufficiently many Fourier modes of the conductivity. A numerical evidence sheds light on the influence of the growing frequency and confirms the improved resolution at higher frequencies.

Spontaneous afterlife: surrealism as translation in Latin American vanguard poetry
Creators: name: Rodríguez, Josué Daniel
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: This dissertation reconsiders the intersection of the Latin American and French surrealist avant-gardes of the early-to-mid 20th century through the lens of translation. I demonstrate that translation — as textual practice, creative method, poetics of craft, and relational ethics — is inextricable from the way avant-garde poets experimented with language, globalized national literatures, and historicized the task of the modernist poet. Across four chapters, I analyze the adaptation of the concepts of the chance encounter, convulsive beauty, the authorial body and the practice of automatic writing in the poetic works of Chilean Vicente Huidobro, Peruvian César Moro, Argentinian Oliverio Girondo, and Mexican Octavio Paz. This study revises the known surrealist canon and calls for a renewed attention to Latin American poets as self-reflective theorists of their global positionality as cultural translators. This challenges the notion of the Latin American avant-gardes as belated by-products of European formalist production; rather, they are contemporaries and innovators of their European counterparts as they refine surrealism’s most translatable nodes beyond the terms that the French movement established.

description: This paper examines the role of the extended family on investments in children, using data from a retrospective survey of three generations in the rural Philippines. Econometric results show that interactions between grandparent characteristics and child gender significantly affect the distribution of proposed land bequests between sons and daughters. However, grandparents significantly affect gender-specific investments in children's education only in resource-constrained families. Family-specific effects are more important in determining the pattern of investment in children within the nuclear family, while individual heterogeneity rather than family-specific unobservables dominates the extended family results. Interactions between parent characteristics and child gender are important determinants of both land transfers to, and educational investments in, children. Sons are clearly favored in terms of land inheritance, although daughters of better educated fathers, and with better educated grandfathers, may also have an advantage. The secular expansion of education has contributed much to the increased educational attainment of women. Better educated fathers favor daughters in terms of education, while mothers with more land favor sons. These patterns are consistent with both equity and efficiency objectives, investment in children under resource constraints, and parents' risk-diversification strategies.

description: We study the luminosity and color dependence of the galaxy 2-point correlation function in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, starting from a sample of 200,000 galaxies over 2500 deg^2. We concentrate on the projected correlation function w(r_p), which is directly related to the real space ξ(r). The amplitude of w(r_p) grows continuously with luminosity, rising more steeply above the characteristic luminosity L_*. Redder galaxies exhibit a higher amplitude and steeper correlation function at all luminosities. The correlation amplitude of blue galaxies increases continuously with luminosity, but the luminosity dependence for red galaxies is less regular, with bright red galaxies more strongly clustered at large scales and faint red galaxies more strongly clustered at small scales. We interpret these results using halo occupation distribution (HOD) models assuming concordance cosmological parameters. For most samples, an HOD model with two adjustable parameters fits the w(r_p) data better than a power-law, explaining inflections at r_p ~ 1-3 Mpc/h as the transition between the 1-halo and 2-halo regimes of ξ(r). The implied minimum mass for a halo hosting a central galaxy above a luminosity threshold L grows as M_min ~ L at low luminosities and more steeply above L_*. The mass at which an average halo has one satellite galaxy brighter than L is M_1 ~ 23 M_min(L). These results imply a conditional luminosity function (at fixed halo mass) in which central galaxies lie far above a Schechter function extrapolation of the satellite population. HOD models nicely explain the joint luminosity-color dependence of w(r_p) in terms of the color fractions of central and satellite populations as a function of halo mass. The inferred HOD properties are in good qualitative agreement with theoretical predictions.

The Isometries of Low-Energy Heterotic M-Theory

description: We study the effective D=4, N=1 supergravity description of five-dimensional heterotic M-theory in the presence of an M5 brane, and derive the Killing vectors and isometry group for the Kahler moduli-space metric. The group is found to be a non-semisimple maximal parabolic subgroup of Sp(4,R), containing a non-trivial SL(2,R) factor. The underlying moduli-space is then naturally realised as the group space Sp(4,R)/U(2), but equipped with a nonhomogeneous metric that is invariant only under that maximal parabolic group. This nonhomogeneous metric space can also be derived via field truncations and identifications performed on Sp(8,R)/U(4) with its standard homogeneous metric. In a companion paper we use these symmetries to derive new cosmological solutions from known ones.

description: The ITU-T Recommendation P.808 provides a crowdsourcing approach for conducting a subjective assessment of speech quality using the Absolute Category Rating (ACR) method. We provide an open-source implementation of the ITU-T Rec. P.808 that runs on the Amazon Mechanical Turk platform. We extended our implementation to include Degradation Category Ratings (DCR) and Comparison Category Ratings (CCR) test methods. We also significantly speed up the test process by integrating the participant qualification step into the main rating task compared to a two-stage qualification and rating solution. We provide program scripts for creating and executing the subjective test, and data cleansing and analyzing the answers to avoid operational errors. To validate the implementation, we compare the Mean Opinion Scores (MOS) collected through our implementation with MOS values from a standard laboratory experiment conducted based on the ITU-T Rec. P.800. We also evaluate the reproducibility of the result of the subjective speech quality assessment through crowdsourcing using our implementation. Finally, we quantify the impact of parts of the system designed to improve the reliability: environmental tests, gold and trapping questions, rating patterns, and a headset usage test.

description: {We consider the problem of estimating causal influences between observed processes from time series possibly corrupted by errors in the time variable (dating errors) which are typical in palaeoclimatology, planetary science and astrophysics. "Causality ratio" based on the Wiener -- Granger causality is proposed and studied for a paradigmatic class of model systems to reveal conditions under which it correctly indicates directionality of unidirectional coupling. It is argued that in case of {\it a priori} known directionality, the causality ratio allows a characterization of dating errors and observational noise. Finally, we apply the developed approach to palaeoclimatic data and quantify the influence of solar activity on tropical Atlantic climate dynamics over the last two millennia. A stronger solar influence in the first millennium A.D. is inferred. The results also suggest a dating error of about 20 years in the solar proxy time series over the same period.

Prey/associated habitat. Known hosts include: Aphididae: Aphis craccivora Koch, Aphis gossypii Glover, Ceratovacuna lanigera Zehntner, Aphis (Toxoptera) aurantii Boyer de Fonscolombe; Diaspididae: Chrysomphalus aonidum (Linnaeus), Lepidosaphes beckii (Newman). Collected on sugarcane and in association with indeterminate aphids infesting pigeonpea, Vigna sp. and Argemone sp.
Can develop well on Schizaphis graminum (Rondani), Aphis glycines Matsumura, Aphis fabae Scopoli, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris), Macrosiphum rosae (Linnaeus), and A. craccivora in the laboratory and greenhouse conditions (Kuznetsov & Pang 2002). Feeds on aphids on Bidens pilosa, Thuja compacta and Prunus persicae in Nepal (Sajan et al. 2019). Introduced in Far Eastern Russia from China and found to be very effective in controlling aphids infesting melon, cucumber and peppers in greenhouses (Kuznetsov & Pang 2002).
Seasonal occurrence. Collected during March, July–August, September–October (Assam, northeastern region).
Note: Most of the Indian records of C. biplagiata are suspect and most probably refer to C. saucia, a similar looking, more widely distributed species. Sasaji (1971) and Yu (2010) provided a detailed description with illustrations. See Semyanov (2001) and Kuznetsov & Pang (2002) for biology, prey and use in pest management.

description: We present a simple method for tracing the spatial distribution and predicting the physical properties of the Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM), from the map of galaxy light in the local universe. Under the assumption that biasing is local and monotonic we map the ~ 2 Mpc/h smoothed density field of galaxy light into the mass density field from which we infer the spatial distribution of the WHIM in the local supercluster. Taking into account the scatter in the WHIM density-temperature and density-metallicity relation, extracted from the z=0 outputs of high-resolution and large box size hydro-dynamical cosmological simulations, we are able to quantify the probability of detecting WHIM signatures in the form of absorption features in the X-ray spectra, along arbitrary directions in the sky. To illustrate the usefulness of this semi-analytical method we focus on the WHIM properties in the Virgo Cluster region.
