description: This dissertation explores how literary translators mediated cultural diplomacy between the U.S. and China during the Cold War period. Focusing on best-selling bilingual authors Lin Yutang, Eileen Chang, Hua-ling Nieh Engle, and Jade Snow Wong, I show how these “cold warriors” negotiated political boundaries, concepts, and agendas while they wrote and translated literary texts. Their works, usually divided into Asian vs. Asian American literature, are here productively read together as pawns in the same ideological struggle, even as they exceed the traditional bounds of Cold War periodization, polarized nation-states, and disciplinary canons. Together, they evince new forms of transnational cultural production that shaped policies of containment, propaganda, resistance, de-colonialism, and racialization. This project thus theorizes translation as its own process of ideology-formation, rather than overlooking it as a mere medium for communication. In the end, examining linguistic exchange in the Cold War redefines what we conceive of as Asian-American, by reconfiguring the outright ideological struggle between Democracy and Communism as an equivocal conflict in the space opened up by translation.

description: We use molecular dynamics simulations to study the formation of surface waves in vertically vibrated granular material. We find that horizontal movements of particles, which are essential for the formation of the waves, consist of two distinct processes. First, the movements sharply increase while the particles are colliding with a bottom plate, where the duration of the collisions is very short compared to the period of the vibration. Next, the movements gradually decrease between the collisions, during which the particles move through the material. We also find that the horizontal velocity field after the collisions is strongly correlated to the surface profile before the collisions.

description: Lipid-based drug delivery systems are considered as promising vehicles for hydrophobic drug compounds. Lipid distribution within the droplet can affect drug loading capacity in these carriers. It is extremely challenging to determine the nanostructure within these carriers through the implementation of the direct experimental methods due to the ultrafine size. Therefore, coarse grained molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was utilized to model different lipid-based nanoparticles of the diameter about 12 nm including solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN), nanoemulsion (NE), and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC), and the organization of the lipids within the carriers was explored. The aforementioned nanoparticles consisted of stearic acid, oleic acid as lipids, and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a surfactant in water medium. Furthermore, the impact of solid to liquid mass ratio on the lipid distribution within the lipid matrix was investigated regarding the NLC simulations. We observed the vesicle-like structure for all the investigated systems in which the hydrophilic moieties of the lipids and surfactant organized a semi-bilayer fold into the droplet and the hydrophobic tails accumulated among them. It is worth mentioning although SDS as a harsh surfactant, which is a special case, was expected to be present in the surface of the droplet, it penetrated into the lipids. Our results showed remarkable entrapped water beads inside the droplet in the form of one or more cavities along the internal layer of the head groups which was surrounded by lipid head groups. It was also reported that in the building structure of the nanoemulsion and SLN, in the central parts of the droplets, lipids were denser than the case of NLCs. Our results indicated that, in the case of NLC simulations, the lipid distribution within the lipid matrix was insensitive to the mass fraction of solid to liquid lipids.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Bicycle Wayfinding Signage
Creators: name: Callow, Matthew
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: The primary purpose of the Bicycle Diversion Evaluation Project (“The BDE Project”) is to determine whether or not wayfinding signage specifically targeted at cyclists, is effective at changing the behaviour of cyclists by encouraging cyclists to use designated bicycle routes. The goal of the wayfinding signs is to encourage cyclists to use routes that are less busy in order to reduce the number of pedestrian-cyclist conflicts on the UBC Vancouver campus. The BDE Project fills a gap in the literature as it is unique. The case studies that were examined in the literature review broadly suggests that signage is effective in changing the behaviour of pedestrians, cyclists or drivers. Despite not clearly being able to identify that bike wayfinding can alter the route choice behaviour of cyclists, the case studies suggest that wayfinding signs will be successful in altering cyclist route choice behaviour. As there is no case study that directly answers the research question being posed in the BDE Project, the BDE Project is an important study that fills a gap in the academic literature on the effectiveness of bike wayfinding signage at changing the behaviour of cyclists. Results from the BDE Project show that the percent change in cyclists choosing to travel away from the Pedestrian Priority Zone in the before-implementation and after-implementation counting period is not significantly different. As a result, the BDE Project cannot confidently conclude that the specific bike wayfinding signs that have been implemented on the UBC Vancouver campus have an effect at altering the route choice behaviour of cyclists. Despite this finding, it is important to understand that there are a number of limitations that likely contributed to this result. One major limitation is the lack of time between the implementation of the wayfinding signs and the beginning of the post-implementation counting. Another limitation of the wayfinding signs is that they are not placed at consistent locations in intersections and have small font size making them hard to read. Further studies looking at the design of bike wayfinding signs are recommended and need to be done before it can be concluded that all bike wayfinding signs are ineffective at altering the route choice behaviour of cyclists.

An Alternative Paradigm for Developing and Pricing Storage on Smart Contract Platforms

description: Smart contract platforms facilitate the development of important and diverse distributed applications in a simple manner. This simplicity stems from the inherent utility of employing the state of smart contracts to store, query and verify the validity of application data. In Ethereum, data storage incurs an underpriced, non-recurring, predefined fee. Furthermore, as there is no incentive for freeing or minimizing the state of smart contracts, Ethereum is faced with a tragedy of the commons problem with regards to its monotonically increasing state. This issue, if left unchecked, may lead to centralization and directly impact Ethereum's security and longevity. In this work, we introduce an alternative paradigm for developing smart contracts in which their state is of constant size and facilitates the verification of application data that are stored to and queried from an external, potentially unreliable, storage network. This approach is relevant for a wide range of applications, such as any key-value store. We evaluate our approach by adapting the most widely deployed standard for fungible tokens, i.e., the ERC20 token standard. We show that Ethereum's current cost model penalizes our approach, even though it minimizes the overhead to Ethereum's state and aligns well with Ethereum's future. We address Ethereum's monotonically increasing state in a two-fold manner. First, we introduce recurring fees that are proportional to the state of smart contracts and adjustable by the miners that maintain the network. Second, we propose a scheme where the cost of storage-related operations reflects the effort that miners have to expend to execute them. Lastly, we show that under such a pricing scheme that encourages economy in the state consumed by smart contracts, our ERC20 token adaptation reduces the incurred transaction fees by up to an order of magnitude.

description: This dissertation analyzes the political and epistemological significance of the religious historical discourse produced in the viceroyalty of Peru between 1600 and 1682. The goal of this discourse was to respond to the secularizing pressure of the Spanish Crown on the religious Orders. Accused of being a burden to the Royal Treasury and slowing the development of colonial economy, colonial religious scholars belonging to the four main religious Orders (Augustinians, Franciscans, Jesuits and Dominicans) and based in the city of Los Reyes (Lima), created a historiographical discourse aimed at defending the missionary and political achievements of their corporations. Seventeenth-century religious historiography fused the medieval religious chronicle, the Counter-reformation sermon, the ars historica and the early modern period political literature (the memorial or arbitrio) to create the chronicle-memorial, a unique creole version of history and colonial Catholic statecraft. While pushing for the institutional claims of the colonial corporate Church, religious chroniclers, through the revision of colonial history, advanced the politic and economic agenda of Peruvian benemérito elites as well. Thus, this work goes from the text to the social and political context that produced it. It also tracks the efforts of the first class of Peruvian historians and political thinkers from Lima to Madrid and Rome in order to build their careers, connect with an imperial Republic of Letters and push for reforms in the body politic of the Spanish Empire.
Gravity and Parity Violation in Spin Gauge Theory

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: Within a spin-gauge theory of gravity unified with the electroweak interaction we start with totally symmetric left- and right-handed fermions and explain the parity violation by symmetry breaking in such a way that the $W^{\pm}$-bosons couple only to the left-handed leptons. Right-handed neutrinos exist and couple as the right-handed electrons only to the Z-bosons (and to gravity). The mass of the neutrinos comes out to be necessarily zero. Therefore this procedure cannot be transferred to the quarks, because then the u-quark would become massless too; for this reason parity violation with respect to the quarks is avoided. On the other hand concerning gravity the u-quark couples only with u-quarks and the d-quark only with d-quarks, however with the same strength, so that isotopic effects appear regarding the equivalence principle in such a way, that the macroscopic gravitational constant depends on the isotopic composition of the material.

description: Searches for additional Higgs bosons, based on predictions beyond the Standard Model (SM) have become an intensive subject of study within LHC scientific program. A vast set of models containing two Higgs doublets plus one additional Higgs singlet complex field (2HD+1S) are consistent with constraints from additional Higgs bosons measurements, searches for supersymmetry, as well as with the measured properties of the H(125) boson. The Higgs sector of the 2HD+1S models features seven physical states: three CP-even, two CP-odd and two charged bosons. According to current constraints on the H(125) couplings, which allow a non-negligible branching fraction for H(125) decays into non-SM particles, the lightest pseudoscalar boson a1 is potentially accessible in the H(125)→ a1a1 decay, with a sufficiently high rate to be detected at the LHC. In this talk searches for a pair of a1 pseudoscalars, performed with CMS data, will be presented. Different mass range, which plays an important role in the selection of the analysis strategy, and different final states will be covered.

description: A new paradigm for distributed quantum systems where information is a valuable resource is developed. After finding a unique measure for information, we construct a scheme for it's manipulation in analogy with entanglement theory. In this scheme instead of maximally entangled states, two parties distill local states. We show that, surprisingly, the main tools of entanglement theory are general enough to work in this opposite scheme. Up to plausible assumptions, we show that the amount of information that must be lost during the protocol of concentration of local information can be expressed as the relative entropy distance from some special set of states.

description: This dissertation examines how the complex relations between the problem of the “culture worker” (wenyi gongzuozhe) and the challenges of socialist political economy were articulated and navigated in the Chinese Revolution. The point of historical and conceptual departure for this dissertation is Mao’s Talks at the Yan’an Conference on Literature and Art in 1942. I argue that the Talks provided a conceptual vocabulary for the problem of cultural production that revolved around the problematic of “life” (shenghuo) as the site of possibility for the fashioning of the culture worker under socialism. The demand that intellectuals “enter into life” (shenru shenghuo) necessitated that writers spend long periods labouring amongst workers and peasants, a demand that sought to suspend an understanding of the masses as a reified abstraction. By the same token, this demand called for a transformation of the culture worker, as well, which was to be felt at the level of subjectivity and embodied experience. The goal was that cultural production might itself be able to intervene in the production of new kinds of social relations, above all relations of labour. The dissertation demonstrates that, across the sustained cultural and economic experiment that was Chinese socialism, the cultural itself became reconfigured as a site of labour as it frequently placed demands upon intellectuals to give up a privileged existence, in order that their bodies and pens might move to a new set of social rhythms and temporalities.
3rd post-Newtonian higher order Hamilton dynamics for two-body point-mass systems

Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: The paper presents the conservative dynamics of two-body point-mass systems up to the third post-Newtonian order ($1/c^6$). The two-body dynamics is given in terms of a higher order ADM Hamilton function which results from a third post-Newtonian Routh functional for the total field-plus-matter system. The applied regularization procedures, together with making use of distributional differentiation of homogeneous functions, give unique results for the terms in the Hamilton function apart from the coefficient of the term $(νp_{i}{\pa_{i}})^2r^{-1}$. The result suggests an invalidation of the binary point-mass model at the third post-Newtonian order.

Writing the Margin: Rabbi Nachman of Braslav, Jorge Luis Borges and the Question of Jewish Writing

description: The present project draws a comparison between the literature and thought of Hasidic Rabbi Nachman of Braslav (1772–1810) and Argentine writer and public intellectual Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986). It is organized around two components of their writing—a discursive self-positioning at “the edge” of tradition and a “cabbalistic” stylization of their narratives. The dissertation contextualizes these components within late eighteenth century Enlightenment ideology and emancipation policies, and mid-twentieth century political ideologies of Nazism and Fascism, respectively. The dissertation is bookended by a close comparative reading of their stories. It finds that each in his moment is greatly implicated in questions of resituating Jews and Judaism within broader society, and argues that the effort to aesthetically represent the changing social location of Jews is linked to their understanding of their respective literary projects more broadly. Finally, the study illuminates their shared conceptualization of modern Judaism as a literary model. The dissertation’s broader intervention in the filed of early modern and modern literature relates to the dynamic of rupture and continuity that is so central to categorizations of modern writing. It demonstrates that the fault lines of the rupture from tradition, vis-à-vis which modern literature has been constructed, was already present—poetically and discursively—in the “tradition” from which it purportedly departs. By combining the study of diverse geographies, histories, languages, cultures and genres, the present study articulates a comparative frame that challenges conventional categorizations of modern writing.

description: This panel addresses the TEI critical apparatus as a data model, investigating how it has expanded the capacity of scholarly editions to articulate and analyze phenomena of textual variation and multiplicity. We will discuss how the TEI critical apparatus, as a structure that mediates distinct versions of a work, is expanding horizons for multidimensional and pluralistic document modeling. Our panel surveys recent experiments with the critical apparatus that have led to new kinds of scholarly research and in some cases to revisions to the TEI Guidelines. What kinds of research questions and applications can we support with the TEI critical apparatus, and what practical challenges do we face in working with it in inline and stand-off ways? We begin by investigating how the TEI critical apparatus has transformed the expressive capacity of scholarly editions to prioritize textual multiplicity. We continue by sharing data models that apply TEI critical apparatus as a stand-off “spine” for connecting independently encoded witnesses. We conclude by inviting the audience to discuss with us the scalability of these methods for texts with large numbers of witnesses, and the technological challenges and opportunities of stand-off methods in light of recent changes to the TEI Guidelines.

description: Diversity represents an important aspect of genetic programming, being directly correlated with search performance. When considered at the genotype level, diversity often requires expensive tree distance measures which have a negative impact on the algorithm's runtime performance. In this work we introduce a fast, hash-based tree distance measure to massively speed-up the calculation of population diversity during the algorithmic run. We combine this measure with the standard GA and the NSGA-II genetic algorithms to steer the search towards higher diversity. We validate the approach on a collection of benchmark problems for symbolic regression where our method consistently outperforms the standard GA as well as NSGA-II configurations with different secondary objectives.

description: We investigate numerically the existence and stability of higher-order recurrences (HoRs), including super-recurrences, super-super-recurrences, etc., in the alpha and beta Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-Tsingou (FPUT) lattices for initial conditions in the fundamental normal mode. Our results represent a considerable extension of the pioneering work of Tuck and Menzel on super-recurrences. For fixed lattice sizes, we observe and study apparent singularities in the periods of these HoRs, speculated to be caused by nonlinear resonances. Interestingly, these singularities depend very sensitively on the initial energy and the respective nonlinear parameters. Furthermore, we compare the mechanisms by which the super-recurrences in the two model's breakdown as the initial energy and respective nonlinear parameters are increased. The breakdown of super-recurrences in the beta-FPUT lattice is associated with the destruction of the so-called metastable state and hence is associated with relaxation towards equilibrium. For the alpha-FPUT lattice, we find this is not the case and show that the super-recurrences break down while the lattice is still metastable. We close with comments on the generality of our results for different lattice sizes.

description: Writing for Diversity explores why assessment matters in the context of school communities and students’ lives. It draws from the initial findings of a multiyear research study on the consequences of writing assessment in New York City’s public high schools and CUNY colleges to explore a) how students experience writing, learning and school; and b) develop a student-centered approach to writing assessment research (using a variety of creative tools). In the introduction, called “People and Places,” I thread research on assessment consequences into a narrative on my experience in schools. In the first chapter, called “Design and Production,” I describe the project, which is intended to support community-driven, student-centered research, with an emphasis on promoting learning and diversity. In the second chapter, “Ethical Aims and Attempts,” I explore the ethical questions that emerged from field research. In the final chapter, called “Diversity as Knowledge,” I analyze the New York City Department of Education and City University of New York’s current methods for sorting and reporting demographic data and describe what I consider a more future-oriented approach to describing people in places (e.g., self-reporting, intersectional methods of analysis). More important, I share what students had to say through the lens of what I consider goals or desirable consequences of writing assessment: student learning and school success, inclusion, equity and access, and the development of capabilities. I close by arguing for writing, teaching and research that reflects present realities and works toward an unknown and more just future.

This model of the non-equilibrium properties of oil-water-surfactant systems, which is a non-trivial extension of an earlier two-dimensional realisation due to Boghosian, Coveney and Emerton [Boghosian, Coveney, and Emerton 1996, Proc. Roy. Soc. A 452, 1221-1250], can be studied effectively only when it is implemented using high-performance computing and visualisation techniques. We describe essential aspects of the model's theoretical basis and computer implementation, and report on the phenomenological properties of the model which confirm that it correctly captures binary oil-water and surfactant-water behaviour, as well as the complex phase behaviour of ternary amphiphilic fluids.

description: We analyze the amplification due to so-called superradiance from the scattering of pulses off rotating black holes as a numerical time evolution problem. We consider the "worst possible case" of scalar field pulses for which superradiance effects yield amplifications $< 1%$. We show that this small effect can be isolated by numerically evolving quasi-monochromatic, modulated pulses with a recently developed Teukolsky code. The results show that it is possible to study superradiance in the time domain, but only if the initial data is carefully tuned. This illustrates the intrinsic difficulties of detecting superradiance in more general evolution scenarios.

 All casted and excavated burrows of M. sulcatus were single tunnelled (Figure 3). The casted burrows showed one or two sharp curves at the beginning, with no specific direction, after which the tunnel continued in one direction. The end of each burrow consisted of a small pool of water in which, in all but one cast, a single crab was entombed by the plaster. The mean length of the casted burrows was 21.3 cm (Standard Deviation [SD] ± 5.2; range 11.2–26.6 cm) and the mean depth was 10.3 cm (SD ± 1.5; range 8.3– 12.5 cm). In one of the casted burrows two relatively large crabs were found: a male and a female (Figure 4). In total 24 crabs were entombed or captured, of which we identified 13 as males and 11 as females. There was a positive relation between burrow size at entrance and the carapace width of the crab caught inside (t = 8.972, P <0.01, R2 = 0.79; Figure 4). The regression equation was Y ¼ 4: 51 þ 1:16 X.

description: We critique the measure of complexity introduced by Shiner, Davison, and Landsberg in Ref. [1]. In particular, we point out that it is over-universal, in the sense that it has the same dependence on disorder for structurally distinct systems. We then give counterexamples to the claim that complexity is synonymous with being out of equilibrium: equilibrium systems can be structurally complex and nonequilibrium systems can be structurally simple. We also correct a misinterpretation of a result given by two of the present authors in Ref. [2]. [1] J. S. Shiner, M. Davison, and P. T. Landsberg, ``Simple Measure for Complexity'', Phys. Rev.

description: The advent of helioseismology has determined in detail the average rotation rate of the Sun as a function of radius and latitude. These data immediately reveal two striking boundary layers of shear in the solar convection zone (CZ): a tachocline at the base, where the differential rotation of the CZ transitions to solid-body rotation in the radiative zone, and a 35-Mm-thick near-surface shear layer (NSSL) at the top, where the rotation rate slows by about 5% with increasing radius. Though asteroseismology cannot probe the differential rotation of distant stars to the same level of detail that helioseismology can achieve for the Sun, it is possible that many cool stars with outer convective envelopes possess similar differential rotation characteristics, including both a tachocline and a NSSL. Here we present the results of 3D global hydrodynamic simulations of spherical-shell convection for a Sun-like star at different levels of density contrast across the shell. The simulations with high stratification possess characteristics of near-surface shear, especially at low latitudes. We discuss in detail the dynamical balance of torques giving rise to the NSSL in our models and interpret what these balances imply for the real Sun. We further discuss the dynamical causes that may serve to wipe out near-surface shear at high latitudes, and conclude by offering some theories as to how this problem might be tackled in future work.

description: In the spirit of the well-known analogy between inviscid fluids and pseudo-Riemannian manifolds we study spherical singular hypersurfaces in the static superfluid. Such hypersurfaces turn out to be the interfaces dividing the superfluid into the pairs of spherical domains, examples of which are ``superfluid A - superfluid B'' or ``impurity - superfluid'' phases. It is shown that these shells form the acoustic lenses which are the sonic counterparts of the usual optical ones. The exact equations of motion of the lens interfaces are obtained. Also some quantum aspects of the theory are considered. We calculate energy spectra for bound states of acoustic lenses in dynamical equilibrium, taking into account the analogy to a material shell model of a black hole (we consider the cases of spatial topology of a black hole and a wormhole type).

description: The Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage (STIRAP) procedure is a robust and complete population transfer method which have various application in chemistry and atomic physics. Here, we study the effects of one-photon detuning, transition time, pulse width, and pulse delay parameters on the population transfer via STIRAP and b-STIRAP techniques. Moreover, the impact of the field amplitude which decreases the population transfer has been analyzed and it is shown that in b-STIRAP, the robustness of the complete transition can be improved by decreasing the field amplitude in the single-photon resonance condition.

description: Knowledge-based (Urban) Development (KBUD) is considered a favored urban trend at the dawn of the new millennium. Francisco Javier Carrillo (2006) noted that “few aspects of today’s world may characterize better the dawn of the new millennium than the transformation of regions and cities into knowledge societies. The 21st century society is post-industrial; the knowledge society is its horizon”. This horizon involves two emerging conditions: cities/urban growth and the raise of the knowledge economy.
 The 21st century is being identified as the century of cities. Nowadays, the world’s urban population is overcoming the 50% mark and is expected to become 75% by 2025 (a percentage already reached by most industrialized countries). Then, this rapid urban growth indicates that this is indeed the century of cities.
 The 21st century is also identified as the century of knowledge, where an increasing number of countries have been moving from material-based to knowledge-based economies as the ground for the foundation of the knowledge society, its socio-cultural transformation, socio-spatial configuration, territorial development and economic growth. Therefore, we have already entered the century of knowledge.
Consequently, it is of relevant importance to analyze the convergence of these two emerging conditions of human civilization at the dawn of the millennium: The Century of Knowledge Cities as a result of Knowledge-based (Urban) Development. This analysis will focus on the development of the knowledge city: Yachay, the first post-colonial planned city in Ecuador, conceived under the government’s Good Living agenda as a new growth pole ñ starting from scratch in an Andean agricultural valley ñ which seeks to reduce territorial disparities and socio-spatial segregation among the country’s cities, promote equal access to goods and services and turn around the country’s productive matrix, becoming the first Knowledge hub of Latin America. The research aims to analyze the relationship between the planning instruments and public officials’ discourses involved in Yachay’s project as well as the citizens’ perspectives. Additionally, it aims to identify the urban risks that this project faces and recommend alternative methods to cope with them.
