description: TYLCV is a major limiting factor for tomato production in south Florida. There is no single method which provides adequate control of TYLCV on tomato. In the greenhouse assays, Actigard® at 3 mg/1, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) strains SE34 and IN937b at lxlO7 CFU/ml, and silicic acid at 1.5 mM and 0.15 mM applied as soil drench significantly increased plant height when compared with the nontreated control. SE34, IN937b and silicic acid significantly increased stem caliper, and IN937b increased the chlorophyll content in the leaves of tomato seedlings. All treatments with disease resistance inducers significantly reduced disease severity of TYLCV compared to the nontreated control. In the field trial, tomato plants treated with Actigard® at 3 mg/1 had significantly less disease than the nontreated control plants 4 weeks after transplanting.

title: Men's talk about food: a discourse analysis
Creators: name: Gillon, Ewan James
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: In this thesis I examine men's talk about food. I argue that many academic knowledges of food have adopted a realist epistemological stance that is problematic with regards to the functional and constructive nature of language. Consequently, I propose a focus upon how language is used to construct food in talk. I also argue that gender has .been highlighted by much research as of significance in relation to food, but that men have been subject to very little in-depth study. I therefore propose a need to examine men's accounts of food. Employing a discursive action approach, I examine accounts produced by eight men. In talk about meat, I argue speakers reject the proposition that meat is essential, but also acknowledge its significance for health. I propose they downplay salad as a central feature of diet yet deny that it is objected to. I also suggest that respondents seem sensitive to a number of negative inferences relating to the consumption of sweets and biscuits. Additionally, speakers downplay the likelihood of buying slimming foods and characterise weight as un-problematic. However, they also stress that their weight is monitored. Similarly, respondents reject feeling guilty about food but demonstrate that their food consumption is not unregulated. In relation to cooking and shopping, I propose speakers deny that they are responsible for these tasks within the household. However, I also suggest that they display a sensitivity to potentially negative inferences, such as inequity, that may arise in connection with this state of affairs. Finally, I assert that participants deny eating at fast food restaurants and stress their variable explanations they produce. To conclude I highlight the complexity of food as a topic of study and consider the utility of a discourse analytic approach to men' 5 accounts in this area.
Obesity and Blast-related Traumatic Brain Injury In Veterans: A Diffusion Tensor Imaging Analysis

description: Blast-related traumatic brain injury (mbTBI) has become a common consequence of war, potentially affecting as many as 23% of combat soldiers serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Obesity in the veteran population is also an escalating problem, and is associated with a multitude of chronic diseases, including diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease. Our study aimed to examine the consequences of mbTBI and obesity on the microstructural integrity of white matter (WM) in the brain, and any interaction effects between the two conditions. Twenty-eight veterans were included in our analysis. mbTBI subjects had been exposed to at least one explosive blast while in the combat theatre with no additional history of head injury. Weight classification was based upon the World Health Organization ranges, with overweight or obesity defined as a BMI ≥25. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was used to measure the fractional anisotropy (FA) of various WM tracts. FA has been used as an indicator of axonal integrity, as research has shown reductions in FA with demyelination, axonal disruption, or cytoskeletal changes. Results indicated main effects for both mbTBI and BMI ≥25. For several white matter tracts, FA was lower in subjects with mbTBI. These findings support previous research suggesting a decrease in axonal integrity following TBI. FA was higher in several tracts of overweight/obese subjects compared to normal-weight subjects. We propose that these results could be indicative of changes in membrane lipid metabolism and distribution. While previous research has shown increased WM volume in obese participants, to our knowledge, our study is the first to report higher FA in overweight or obese participants.

description: In this paper we present and analyze new CCD $UBVRI$ photometry down to $V \approx$ 21 in the region of the young open cluster Collinder 232, located in the Carina spiral arm, and discuss its relationship to Trumpler 14 and Trumpler 16, the two most prominent young open clusters located in the core of NGC 3372 (the Carina Nebula). First of all we study the extinction pattern in the region. We find that the total to selective absorption ratio $R_V$ differs from cluster to cluster, being $3.48\pm0.11$, $4.16\pm0.07$ and $3.73\pm0.01$ for Trumpler 16, Trumpler 14 and Collinder 232, respectively. Then we derive individual reddenings and intrinsic colours and magnitudes using the method devised by Romaniello et al. (2002). Ages, age spreads and distances are then estimated by comparing the Colour Magnitude Diagrams and the Hertzsprung-Russel diagram with post and pre-main sequence tracks and isochrones. We find that Trumpler 14 and Collinder 232 lie at the same distance from the Sun (about 2.5 kpc), whereas Trumpler 16 lies much further out, at about 4 kpc from the Sun. As for the age, we find that Trumpler 16 is older than both Trumpler 14 and Collinder 232. For all the clusters we indicate the existence of a significant age dispersion, whose precise value is hampered by our inability to properly distinguish members from non-members. We finally suggest that Collinder 232 is a physical aggregate and provide estimates of its basic parameters.

description: One-dimensional strings of local excitations are a fascinating feature of the physical behavior of strongly correlated topological quantum matter. Here we study strings of local excitations in a classical system of interacting nanomagnets, the Santa Fe Ice geometry of artificial spin ice. We measured the moment configuration of the nanomagnets, both after annealing near the ferromagnetic Curie point and in a thermally dynamic state. While the Santa Fe Ice lattice structure is complex, we demonstrate that its disordered magnetic state is naturally described within a framework of emergent strings. We show experimentally that the string length follows a simple Boltzmann distribution with an energy scale that is associated with the system's magnetic interactions and is consistent with theoretical predictions. The results demonstrate that string description and associated topological characteristics are not unique to quantum models but can also provide a simplifying description of complex classical systems with non-trivial frustration.

description: Objectives: There has been a substantial increase in people with health conditions seeking health-related information online. The aim of this study was to examine the media usage by older adults with hearing loss.Method: The study used a cross-sectional survey design. A total of 556 older adults with hearing loss (Hearing Tracker website users) completed the survey that was focused on (a) demographic information, (b) general electronic media usage, (c) sources of hearing health information, and (d) social media use for hearing health information. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square tests.Results: When seeking hearing health care information, the majority of the participants turned to the Internet (54%) followed by health professionals (34%) as the first response to their symptoms. Both sources were also rated as the easiest means of obtaining hearing health information. The information from health care providers was rated as more reliable and important for decision making than that from the Internet. Facebook and YouTube were the most frequently used social media platforms with over 40% of the respondents using them “most of the time” or “sometimes.” All the social media platforms were rated less favorably than other sources for ease of finding information, reliability, and importance in decision making.Conclusion: Older adults with hearing loss use various forms of electronic media for seeking hearing health information. They place the most trust on the information obtained from hearing health care professionals. These professionals need to be aware of the quality of information available on the Internet and social media sources in order to direct patients to credible sources.

description: Let $ψ_1,...,ψ_k$ be maps from Z to an additive abelian group with positive periods $n_1,...,n_k$ respectively. We show that the function $ψ=ψ_1+...+ψ_k$ is constant if $ψ(x)$ equals a constant for |S| consecutive integers x where S={r/n_s: r=0,...,n_s-1; s=1,...,k}; moreover, there are periodic maps $f_0,...,f_{|S|-1}$ from Z to Z only depending on S such that $ψ(x)=\sum_{r=0}^{|S|-1}f_r(x)ψ(r)$ for all integers x. This local-global theorem extends a previous result [Math. Res. Lett. 11(2004), 187--196], and has various applications.

Die Abfolgen um fassen mächtige interglaziale Pedokomplexe, die eine Differenzierung in eindeutige Interglazialböden zulassen. Die Löss-/Paläoboden-Sequenz auf den Jüngeren Deckenschottern von Oberlaab zeigt vier interglaziale Paläoböden, die eine Einstufung der Schotter ins 5.-letzte Glazial nahe legen, bei einem Vergleich mit der marinen Sauerstoffisotopenkurve wird das OIS 12 (Oxygenium Isotope Stage) als Ablagerungszeitraum wahrscheinlich. Die Deckschichten auf den Älteren Deckenschottern bei Neuhofen und Wels-Aschet beinhalten fünf Paläoböden, wobei der basale Pedokomplex wesentlich intensiver ausgeprägt ist, als die jüngeren Interglazialböden. Der Entstehungszeitraum (Mindestalter) für die Älteren Deckenschotter wird aufgrund pedostratigraphischer Ergebnisse ins OIS 16 gestellt.

description: Phytophthora blight disease caused by Phytophthora capsici Leonian threatens vegetable production worldwide. It is imperative to develop practical and cost-effective alternatives to methyl bromide in order to sustain production of vulnerable vegetables including squash in Florida. Greenhouse studies have been conducted to evaluate the potential of the use of Acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM; Actigard 50WG) and plant growthpromoting rhizobacteria (PGPR; SE34 and IN973b) for control of Phytophthora blight on squash. Actigard at 30 and 3 mg/1 and PGPR strain SE34 at 107 CFU/ml significantly (P<0.05) reduced disease severity of Phytophthora blight of squash compared to the nontreated control. Actigard at 30 mg/1 provided the greatest protection in squash against P. capsici. No disease symptom developed on squash plants treated with Actigard at 30 mg/1 while nontreated inoculated plants collapsed due to the infection of P. capsici. The results suggest that ASM and PGPR are effective against P. capsici in squash and may be incorporated in integrated management strategies for control of Phytophthora blight of squash.

description: Die modernen Anforderungen an den Trinkwasserschutz, die zunehmende Zersiedelung und die landwirtschaftliche Nutzung weiter Teile der Niederrheinischen Bucht führen immer häufiger zu Nutzungskonflikten. Da die einmal vorhandenen Nutzungsstrukturen wie Naßabgrabungen und Gewerbegebiete die Flächen für eine schutzfähige Grundwassergewinnung reduzieren, bleibt oft nur die Verlagerung der Trinkwassergewinnung in zuvor nicht beanspruchte Gebiete. Am Beispiel einer Prognose für die Verschiebung einer Entnahmegalerie aus einer Zone mit gewerblicher und lagerstättentechnischer Nutzung im Umfeld des Xantener Stauchmoränenbogens kann gezeigt werden, daß auf der Grundlage quartärgeologischer Grundlagendaten und eines numerischen Grundwasserströmungsmodells eine Optimierung der Ortslage für eine Trinkwassergewinnung durchgeführt werden kann. Die eiszeitliche Überprägung weiter Teile des hydrogeologischen Grundwasserleitersystems im Xantener Bogen bedingte zahlreiche Restriktionen für die Optimierung eines Grundwassergewinnungsbereichs. Mit Hilfe der Geländeaufnahmen und der Modellrechnungen wurden verschiedene neue Brunnenstandorte simuliert und hinsichtlich der ökologischen und hydrogeologischen Restriktionen bewertet. Die Modellrechnungen ermöglichten bereits im Planungsstadium eine Vorausschau auf die Auswirkungen und den Nutzen einer Verlagerung der ursprünglichen Entnahmeschwerpunkte. Die Ergebnisse zeigen aber auch, daß ein Ausweichen der Trinkwassergewinnung zugunsten anderer Flächennutzungen mit neuen Restriktionen am neuen Standort verbunden sein kann und somit in jedem Einzelfall zu überprüfen ist.

description: We study whether compulsory religious education in schools affects students’ religiosity as adults. We exploit the staggered termination of compulsory religious education across German states in models with state and cohort fixed effects. Using three different datasets, we find that abolishing compulsory religious education significantly reduced religiosity of affected students in adulthood. It also reduced the religious actions of personal prayer, church-going, and church membership. Beyond religious attitudes, the reform led to more equalized gender roles, fewer marriages and children, and higher labor-market participation and earnings. The reform did not affect ethical and political values or non-religious school outcomes.

description: Die Feingliederung des Pleistozäns ist ein Problem, das nur aus der Zusammenschau aller an der Eiszeitforschung beteiligten Fachrichtungen einer Lösung zugeführt werden kann. Unter Berücksichtigung des gesamten, durch jüngste Forschungsergebnisse weitgehend ergänzten reichhaltigen Beobachtungs- und Fundmaterials kann — zumindest für das näher besprochene Untersuchungsgebiet — eine Dreiteilung der letzten (Wurm-)Vereisung klar erkannt werden. Für die vorangegangene Rißvereisung ergibt sich eine deutliche Zweiteilung durch ein stärker ausgeprägtes längeres Interstadial; einige kurzfristige wärmere Oszillationen können derzeit noch nicht mit genügender Schärfe erfaßt werden. Die unter mehr maritimen Klimaeinflüssen entstandenen Rißlösse sind auf Grund sedimenpetrographischer und faunistischer Befunde von den zweifellos unter kontinentaleren Klimaverhältnissen gebildeten Würmlössen gut trennbar.

description: We model monolayer graphene-like materials with BC$_6$N stoichiometry where the bonding between the B and the N atoms plays an important role for their physical and chemical properties. Two types of BC$_6$N are found based on the BN bonds: In the presence of BN bonds, an even number of $π$-bonds emerges indicating an aromatic structure and a large direct bandgap appears, while in the absence of BN bonds, an anti-aromatic structure with an odd-number of $π$-bonds is found resulting a direct small bandgap. The stress-strain curves shows high elastic moduli and tensile strength of the structures with BN-bonds, compared to structures without BN-bonds. Self-consistent field calculations demonstrate that BC$_6$N with BN-bonds is energetically more stable than structures without BN-bonds due to a strong binding energy between the B and the N atoms, while their phonon dispersion displays that BC$_6$N without BN-bonds has more dynamical stability. Furthermore, all the BC$_6$N structures considered show a large absorption of electromagnetic radiation with polarization parallel to the monolayers in the visible range. Finer detail of the absorption depend on the actual structures of the layers. A higher electronic thermal conductivity and specific heat are seen in BC$_6$N systems caused by hot carrier--assisted charge transport. This opens up a possible optimization for bolometric applications of graphene based material devices.

description: The present study examines the relationship between engagement with the social networking site (SNS) Facebook and body image in adolescent girls. A recent study by Tiggemann and Miller (2010) found a strong correlation between body image disturbances and Internet use in general, and a particularly strong association with social networking site (SNS) use. This present study sought to replicate and extend upon these findings by identifying the specific Facebook features that correlate with body image disturbances in adolescent girls. 103 middle and high-school females were administered a survey that measured specific Facebook feature activity, weight dissatisfaction, drive for thinness, internalization of the thin ideal, appearance comparison, and self-objectification. It was predicted that girls with high overall Facebook use and relatively heavy engagement with appearance-related Facebook features, including posting and viewing self and peer photos, would report greater body image disturbance. Results did not demonstrate an association between overall Facebook use and body image disturbance, but did support the prediction that higher levels of appearance-related activity correlates with greater body image disturbance. Analysis on more detailed correlations for `self' vs. `other' photo interactions suggested that the subject of the photos being viewed was less important in explaining variance in body image scores than whether the activity was active or passive. Implications for eating disorder prevention programs and best practices in researching social networking sites are discussed.

description: Papaya is an important fruit in the tropics due to its nutritional level and year round production. Papaya production in the Virgin Islands is hindered by the lengthy dry season in this semi arid environment where fresh water is lacking. Three selected papaya varieties, 'Maradol', 'Tainung 5' and 'YuenNong 1' were grown in 1 χ 1 m, 1 χ 2 m or 1 χ 3 m double-row spacing regime randomized block design incorporating drip irrigation with 4L/hr emitters at 1 m intervals and grass-hay mulch. The objective was to determine water usage, plant growth and fruit set during the first six months establishment in the dry season of the U.S. Virgin Islands. Tensiometers set at 30 cm depth were used to determine when water was applied and indicated that the 1 χ 1 m double row depleted the water quicker than the other two spacing regimes. Data was collected included: rainfall, irrigation water applied, plant height, height to first flower, height to first fruit, stem diameter at 1 m and number of fruit set after six months. Plants grown in the 1 χ 1 m double row were taller, had thinner stems and significantly fewer fruit set for all varieties during the six months of plant establishment and growth. The 1 χ 2 m double row grown papaya were similar to the 1 χ 3 m double row plants for height, stem diameter and fruit set. The 1 χ 2 m double row growing system is recommended to increase production where space and water are limiting factors. A grass/hay mulch is very effective in controlling weeds, conserving soil moisture and protecting the soil from erosion during sudden short heavy tropical rains.

For a subset of such channels we explicitly identify the optimal signal states. We show analytically that for such a class of channels entangled states are indeed optimal above a given memory threshold. It is noteworthy that the resulting channel capacity is a non-differentiable function of the memory parameter.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

description: The study of cataclysmic variables (CVs), and in particular of the evolution of their accretion discs throughout their different brightness states, has benefited largely from the use of indirect imaging techniques. I report on the latest results obtained from Doppler tomography of CVs concentrating mainly on results published since the 2000 Astrotomography meeting in Brussels. Emphasis is given to the spiral structures found in the accretion discs of some CVs, to the evolution of these structures throughout quiescence and outburst, and to our search for them in more systems.

Wideband reflectance in normal school-aged children and in children with otitis media
Creators: name: Beers, Alison Nicole
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: In addition to the high prevalence of otitis media with effusion (OME), researchers are motivated to develop methods for early and accurate OME diagnosis because of the financial strain on the health care system associated with its diagnosis and management, and the medical and developmental consequences that may manifest if OME is left untreated. Standard (226 Hz) and high frequency (1000 Hz) tympanometry have traditionally been used clinically to assess middle ear status in children. A relatively new advanced middle ear analysis technique is Wideband reflectance (WBR). WBR has the potential to provide more information regarding the status of the middle ear than the methods currently being used clinically. This technique provides frequency-specific information about sound conduction through the peripheral auditory system. As a result of its recent introduction as an analysis method there is limited normative data available for this measurement system for pediatric populations and for those with middle ear pathology. Development of normative pediatric WBR data may render this technique a highly useful diagnostic tool for assessing the mechano-acoustical properties of middle ear function and for differentiating between healthy and pathological middle ears. WBR patterns from 55 subjects (102 ears) with normal middle ear status and 39 subjects (57 ears) with varying degrees of middle ear pathology were measured. The mean and the 5t h and 95t h percentile ranges were graphically presented. Repeated measures analysis of variance was performed with frequency as the within subjects factor and age (child versus adult), middle ear condition (normal, mild negative pressure, severe negative pressure or effusion), race (Caucasian versus Chinese) and/or gender as the between subjects factors. Frequency-specific significant WBR pattern differences existed for reactance-based and impedance-based measures, between pediatric and adult groups, Caucasian children and Chinese children, and all four middle ear conditions. Wideband reflectance must be further explored within a pediatric population before results can be generalized, but this measurement technique shows promise of providing a better understanding of the mechanico-acoustic properties of the middle ear and the changes to the system's functioning with middle ear pathology.

description: The similarity between classical and quantum physics is large enough to make an investigation of quantization methods a worthwhile endeavour. As history has shown, Dirac's canonical quantization method works reasonably well in the case of conventional quantum mechanics over $\mathbb{R}^n$ but it may fail in non-trivial phase spaces and also suffer from ordering problems. Affine quantization is an alternative method, similar to the canonical quantization, that may offer a positive result in situations for which canonical quantization fails. In this paper we revisit the affine quantization method on the half line. We formulate and solve some simple models, the free particle and the harmonic oscillator.

description: Data indicate that $ΔI=1/2$ transitions account for 4.5-4.7% of both CP conserving and CP violating $K \to 2π$ decays, as well as CP conserving radiative $K \to ππγ$ processes. Observed $K \to ππγ/ππ$ branching ratios are shown to scale near $α/π$ or $α/2π$. The $K_L$-$K_S$ mixing angle $ϕ$ and the semileptonic weak-rate asymmetry $δ$ are reviewed, and theory is shown to be consistent with data. Also, $K \to 2π$ $ΔI=1/2$ dominance is studied in the context of the chiral constituent quark model, displaying again excellent agreement with data. Finally, indirect and direct kaon CP violation are successfully described in the framework of photon-mediated loop graphs. This suggests that kaon CPV can be understood via second-order weak transitions, radiatively corrected.

description: Social isolation is one of the negative consequences of a pandemic like COVID-19. Social isolation and loneliness are not only experienced by older adults, but also by younger people who live alone and cannot communicate with others or get involved in social situations as they used to. In such situations, social companion robots might have the potential to reduce social isolation and increase well-being. However, society's perception of social robots has not always been positive. In this paper, we conducted two online experiments with 102 and 132 participants during the self isolation periods of COVID-19 (May-June 2020 and January 2021), to study how COVID-19 has affected people's perception of the benefits of a social robot. Our results showed that a change caused by COVID-19, as well as having an older relative who lived alone or at a care center during the pandemic significantly and positively affected people's perception of social robots, as companions, and that the feeling of loneliness can drive the purchase of a social robot. The second study replicated the results of the first study. We also discuss the effects of Big 5 personality traits on the likelihood to purchase a social robot, as well as on participants' general attitude towards COVID-19 and adapting to the pandemic.
Social Networking Sites and Body Image in Adolescent Girls

Publisher: name: American University

description: The present study examines the relationship between engagement with the social networking site (SNS) Facebook and body image in adolescent girls. A recent study by Tiggemann and Miller (2010) found a strong correlation between body image disturbances and Internet use in general, and a particularly strong association with social networking site (SNS) use. This present study sought to replicate and extend upon these findings by identifying the specific Facebook features that correlate with body image disturbances in adolescent girls. 103 middle and high-school females were administered a survey that measured specific Facebook feature activity, weight dissatisfaction, drive for thinness, internalization of the thin ideal, appearance comparison, and self-objectification. It was predicted that girls with high overall Facebook use and relatively heavy engagement with appearance-related Facebook features, including posting and viewing self and peer photos, would report greater body image disturbance. Results did not demonstrate an association between overall Facebook use and body image disturbance, but did support the prediction that higher levels of appearance-related activity correlates with greater body image disturbance. Analysis on more detailed correlations for `self' vs. `other' photo interactions suggested that the subject of the photos being viewed was less important in explaining variance in body image scores than whether the activity was active or passive. Implications for eating disorder prevention programs and best practices in researching social networking sites are discussed.

It notes that the Brillet and Hall experiment in 1978 stands alone as a true, and sufficiently accurate, test of light speed in a rotating frame. Anomalous data (considered "spurious" at the time) from that experiment support the conclusions drawn herein.

description: As university museums evolve to encompass broader, more diverse audiences and adopt innovative new approaches to visitor engagement, it has become necessary to establish a compelling brand identity for communications, development and programming initiatives to maintain this sector-wide momentum. This study identifies two patterns in the university museum sector -- new building projects and partnerships and affiliations -- through which it explores strategies for leveraging an institutional brand. A qualitative research model examines two case studies within each opportunity using a framework of three common themes: a focus on the future, an expanding academic reach, and recognition of brand value. Interviews with communications, development and education staff illustrate the ways in which a compelling brand identity shapes a successful new building launch or partnership formation. Overall, the study emphasizes the role branding plays in the reimagining of a unique sector of American museums.

description: We identify the spectral properties of Hawking-Unruh radiation in the eternal black hole at ultra low energies as a probe for the chaotic level statistics of quantum black holes. Level repulsion implies that there are barely Hawking particles with an energy smaller than the level separation. This effect is experimentally accessible by probing the Unruh heat bath with a linear detector. We provide evidence for this effect via explicit and exact calculations in JT gravity building on a radar definition of bulk observables in the model. Similar results are observed for the bath energy density. This universal feature of eternal Hawking radiation should resonate into the evaporating setup.

Analysis of voltage-source-inverter-driven brushless dc motors with unbalanced Hall sensors
Creators: name: Samoylenko, Nikolay
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Brushless dc motors with Hall sensors are widely used in various industrial and electromechanical applications. These machines have often been considered in the literature, under one common assumption - ideal placement of the sensors, which is often not the case, especially for low-precision motors. This thesis is composed of three manuscripts which investigate the unbalance of Hall sensors and propose methods to eliminate its adverse effects. The studies presented here show that misalignment of Hall sensors leads to unbalanced operation of the inverter and motor phases, which in turn results in increased low-frequency harmonics in torque ripple, possible acoustic noise, and degradation of the overall drive performance. Thus, the first manuscript introduces the problem of the misaligned Hall sensors by using a detailed model of a sample brushless dc motor and proposes a simple yet practical averaging technique to significantly decrease the effects of the misplaced sensors in steady state. The second manuscript extends the discussion to the dynamic performance of a low-precision brushless dc motor by introducing extrapolating filters which specifically target the transient operation. The third manuscript generalizes the concepts presented in the first two papers by taking into account both steady-state and transient performances and provides extensive hardware studies. The presented research considers a typical industrial brushless dc motor and includes measurements, detailed models and hardware experiments to validate the analysis. The proposed averaging approach is shown to achieve performance characteristics very close to those of a motor with perfectly balanced Hall sensors.
Noncentral extension of the $AdS_{5} \times S^{5}$ superalgebra: supermultiplet of brane charges

description: We propose an extension of the su(2,2|4) superalgebra to incorporate the $F1/D1$ string charges in type IIB string theory on the $AdS_{5} \times S^{5}$ background, or the electro-magnetic charges in the dual super Yang-Mills theory. With the charges introduced, the superalgebra inevitably undergoes a noncentral extension, as noted recently in [1]. After developing a group theoretical method of obtaining the noncentral extension, we show that the charges form a certain nonunitary representation of the original unextended superalgebra, subject to some constraints. We solve the constraints completely and show that, apart from the su(2,2|4) generators, there exist 899 complex brane charges in the extended algebra. Explicitly we present all the super-commutators among them.
