description: This study documents the metamorphic evolution of two sequences of metabasaltic rocks: one within the Flin Flon Greenstone Belt, Manitoba/Saskatchewan, and the other in the Rossland area, British Columbia. The Flin Flon area comprises a varied igneous stratigraphy that has been affected by seafloor alteration, contact metamorphism and pervasive regional metamorphism. The regional metamorphism is split into six metamorphic zones spanning the prehnite-pumpellyite to lower amphibolite facies, separated by five major isograds. The pressure and temperature conditions for the prehnite-pumpellyite facies are ~200-280°C, 1.4-3.2kbar, whilst conditions of ~430-470°C and 3.3-4.3kbar are estimated for the greenschist-amphibolite transition. A domain of high temperature, hydrothermal alteration occurs within the Flin Flon block in the lower parts of the hanging wall stratigraphy. This is interpreted to be the product of prolonged syn-volcanic hydrothermal activity within the underlying hydrothermal system that generated the Flin Flon volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits. Metamorphism of the Rossland Volcanic sequence has resulted in the development of five metamorphic zones spanning the sub-greenschist to amphibolite facies separated by four metamorphic isograds. The pattern of metamorphism indicates that greenschist to upper amphibolite facies ‘regional contact’ metamorphism, associated with the emplacement of plutons, was superimposed on regional sub-greenschist burial metamorphism. Documentation of coexisting minerals from Flin Flon and Rossland suggests the existence of miscibility gaps involving amphibole, plagioclase and epidote group minerals. Actinolite and hornblende are interpreted to crystallise initially across a miscibility gap within the hornblende-actinolite zone. However, increasing compositional separation between actinolite and hornblende above the oligoclase-in isograd is interpreted as a kinetic effect, with hornblende being stable whilst actinolite persists upgrade as a metastable relict. The greenschist-amphibolite transition zone is characterized by several devolatilisation reactions. This fluid release occurs predominantly within the hornblende-actinolite-oligoclase zone, characterized by very low XCO2 compositions (<0.05). Fluid release with higher XCO2 values (>0.2) may occur in rocks with greater amounts of carbonate. Petrological and modelling observations suggest that the Flin Flon sequence would predominantly produce fluid compositions with low XCO2 (<0.1) and thus is unlikely to be a source for fluids associated with orogenic gold mineralization that are typified by higher XCO2 compositions (0.2-0.3).
Rademacher's infinite partial fraction conjecture is (almost certainly) false

description: In his book \emph{Topics in Analytic Number Theory}, Hans Rademacher conjectured that the limits of certain sequences of coefficients that arise in the ordinary partial fraction decomposition of the generating function for partitions of integers into at most $N$ parts exist and equal particular values that he specified. Despite being open for nearly four decades, little progress has been made toward proving or disproving the conjecture, perhaps in part due to the difficulty in actually computing the coefficients in question. In this paper, we provide a fast algorithm for calculating the Rademacher coefficients, a large amount of data, direct formulas for certain collections of Rademacher coefficients, and overwhelming evidence against the truth of the conjecture. While the limits of the sequences of Rademacher coefficients do not exist (the sequences oscillate and attain arbitrarily large positive and negative values), the sequences do get very close to Rademacher's conjectured limits for certain (predictable) indices in the sequences.

description: Consider two $k$-gons $P$ and $Q$. We say that the billiard flows in $P$ and $Q$ are homotopically equivalent if the set of conjugacy classes in the fundamental group of $P$ which contain a periodic billiard orbit agrees with the analogous set for $Q$. We study this equivalence relationship and compare it to the equivalence relations, order equivalence and code equivalence, introduced in \cite{BT1,BT2}. In particular we show if $P$ is a rational polygon, and $Q$ is homotopically equivalent to $P$, then $P$ and $Q$ are similar, or affinely similar if all sides of $P$ are vertical and horizontal.

description: Steam-based thermal recovery process is the most commonly used recovery process for bitumen production from oil sands reservoirs. The most used thermal methods are Steam Flooding (SF), Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CSS), and Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD). The choice of method depends on the geology, initial reservoir conditions, and the viscosity of the oil. In the research documented here, a detailed examination of the Liaohe heavy oil operation is analyzed from field data. The analysis relies on from a construction of detailed geological and reservoir models and a history match of the CSS and steam-injection gravity drainage operation. The model is then used to evaluate steam flooding and automated control of the recovery process. Also, a submodel from the history-matched reservoir model is used to understand, at fine scale, the dynamics of CSS. The results show that conducting steam flooding post CSS provides an effective means to achieve greater recovery factors at reasonable steam-to-oil ratios. Also, automated control by using proportional-integral-derivative control can yield further improvements of the process performance. The results of the detailed ultra-refined CSS models demonstrate that CSS dynamics are complex due to steam-based dilation and steam condensation. The overall results of the research reveal that CSS is an effective thermal recovery method that can be used with post-CSS processes to produce the majority of oil from the reservoir.

description: We study the asymptotic behavior of the heat trace coefficients $a_n$ as n tends to infinity for the scalar Laplacian in the context of locally symmetric spaces. We show that if the Plancherel measure of a noncompact type symmetric space is polynomial, then these coefficients decay like 1/n!. On the other hand, for even dimensional locally rank 1-symmetric spaces, one has $|a_n|$ grows like C^n* n! for some C>0; we conjecture this is the case in general if the associated Plancherel measure is not polynomial. These examples show that growth estimates conjectured by Berry and Howls are sharp. We also construct examples of locally symmetric spaces which are not irreducible, which are not flat, and so that only a finite number of the heat trace coefficients are non-zero.

description: With Canada’s increasing ethnocultural diversity, understanding long-term integration patterns of immigrant communities is essential. Filipinos are experiencing less-than-expected higher educational outcomes that have important implications on the second-generation and their socioeconomic status and wellbeing in Canada. The purpose of my thesis was to generate a constructivist grounded theory to understand processes that facilitated university completion by second-generation Filipino males in Calgary. Face-to-face interviews were conducted with eight participants along with journals that captured reflections on the interview. Corbin and Strauss’ (2015) data analysis methods were employed and facilitated using Atlas.ti. Findings suggest that participants’ educational expectations are challenged as they advance through five core processes (preparing, transitioning, navigating, and completing) of university. As such, Canadian-born Filipino men are provoked to renegotiate the meaning of university education as a process of self-discovery. I conclude with a discussion of the study’s significance and implications for social work education and practice.

description: We demonstrate the effects of cavity quantum electrodynamics for a quantum dot coupled to a photonic molecule, consisting of a pair of coupled photonic crystal cavities. We show anti-crossing between the quantum dot and the two super-modes of the photonic molecule, signifying achievement of the strong coupling regime. From the anti-crossing data, we estimate the contributions of both mode-coupling and intrinsic detuning to the total detuning between the super-modes. Finally, we also show signatures of off-resonant cavity-cavity interaction in the photonic molecule.

It is then used to calculate positron binding energies for a range of open-shell transition metal atoms from Sc to Cu, from Y to Pd, and from Lu to Pt. These systems possess Feshbach resonances, which can be used to search for positron-atom binding experimentally through resonant annihilation or scattering.

Azimuthal anisotropy in a jet absorption model with fluctuating initial geometry in heavy ion collisions

description: The azimuthal anisotropy due to path-length dependent jet energy loss is studied in a simple jet absorption model that include event by event fluctuating Glauber geometry. Significant anisotropy coefficients v_n are observed for n=1,2 and 3, but they are very small for n>3. These coefficients are expected to result in a "ridge" for correlations between two independently produced jets. The correlations between the orientation of the n^{th}-order anisotropy induced by jet absorption (Φ_n^{QP}) and the n^{th}-order participant plane (Φ_n^{PP}) responsible for harmonic flow are studied. Tight correlations are observed for n=2 in mid-central collisions, but they weaken significantly for n\neq2. The correlations are positive for n>=3, but become negative in central collisions for n>3. The dispersion between Φ_n^{QP} and Φ_n^{PP} is expect to break the factorization of the Fourier coefficients from two-particle correlation v_{n,n} into the single particle v_n, and has important implications for the high-pT ridge phenomena.

description: In this paper we will study non-anticommutative perturbative quantum gravity on spacetime with a complex metric. After analysing the BRST symmetry of this non-anticommutative perturbative quantum gravity, we will also analyse the effect of shifting all the fields. We will construct a Lagrangian density which is invariant under the original BRST transformations and the shift transformations in the Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) formalism. Finally, we will show that the sum of the gauge-fixing term and the ghost term for this shift symmetry invariant Lagrangian density can be elegantly written down in superspace with a single Grassmann parameter.

Locus typicus: South Central Tibet, Damzhung County, Largeh La, 5200 m (= Largen La or Lhachen La Pass N Damzhung place). Type material: Not studied. Species identification is based on original description compared to additional material from the locus typicus. T. antonini is characterized by apomorphic aedeagal character states which allow an unambiguous diagnosis. Additional material: CHINA: South Central Tibet: 16 males, 8 females, S Lhachen La, N Damzhung, 5150–5250 m, 30°38’20.2N 91°05’55.6E, 14.VII.07 (CSCHM); 5 males, S Namtso, Langma Valley, 5100–5150 m, 30°37’39,1N 90°51’56.5E, 13.VII.07 (CSCHM). Identification: See key above. Relationships: See chapter Relationships of T. budhaensis sp. n., above. Distribution and geographical variation: Fig. 100. This species occurs on the central Nyainqentanglha Shan Massif, and up to now it is known from two localities: the type locality at Lhachen La pass approximately 12 km northeast of Damzhung, and the upper Langma valley on northern slope of the same mountain range just 20 km west of the type locality. No morphological variation could be found between individuals of these two populations. Probably more populations of the species exist at suitable localities in this relatively small section of the Nyainqentanglha Shan mountain range. Habitat: Higher alpine zone; vertical distribution approximately 5100–5250 m. The specimens of the additional material were found under stones on humid, gently inclined slopes as well on the top of an older moraine, partly together with T. hodeberti Deuve, 1997.

Enumeration problems in Baumslag-Solitar groups
Creators: name: Wong, Thomas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Geometric group theory refers to the study of finitely generated groups and their properties by exploring the algebraic and topological structure. This thesis will look at various enumeration problems that arises in Baumslag-Solitar groups. Initially, this thesis aims to reproduce and validate some of the work that has been done on the questions of growth, cogrowth and geodesic elements via an enumeration approach. This approach will then be used to explore specific examples of Baumslag-Solitar groups where these questions have not been fully answered. The first part of this thesis will look at the growth of a horocyclic subgroup in Baumslag-Solitar groups. It will then build upon this to develop an algorithm to count the elements of the group in general out to a fixed radius with the intention of further understanding the unresolved cases. The second part of this thesis will use Baumslag-Solitar groups as a basis to develop numerical tests to estimate cogrowth of groups. Since the cogrowth of a group is directly related to the amenability of the group, these numerical tests for cogrowth can be applied to groups such that Thompson's group F, where the question of amenability is still highly debated.

description: Undergraduate students entering higher education for the first time face a variety of risks and challenges, such as higher levels of stress, withdrawal from their program of studies without graduating, and the development of substance use disorders and other psychopathology (Auerbach et al., 2016). Considering that many students succeed during this time in spite of the risks, resilience may play an important role during this time. One possible contributor to resilience in this population is executive functions, which are a set of cognitive processes that influence and organize cognition and behaviour in the pursuit of goals (Baggetta & Alexander, 2016). Executive functions may be particularly important due to the increase in demands for independence and organization during higher education. Understanding the relationship between executive functions and resilience is critical to improving the student experience. The present study, using a mixture of questionnaires and an executive function task, examined the relationship between resilience, executive functions, and positive intrapersonal and academic outcomes in first-year undergraduate students. Executive functions were found to be associated with both resilience and positive outcomes.

description: We in this paper investigate the phase diagram associated with the BCS-BEC crossover of a three-component ultracold superfluid-Fermi-gas of different chemical-potentials and equal masses in two dimensions. The gap order parameter and number densities are found analytically by using the functional path-integral method. The balance of paring will be broken in the free space due to the unequal chemical-potentials. We obtain the same particle number-density and condensed fraction in the BCS superfluid phase as that in a recent paper (Phys. Rev. A 83, 033630), while the Sarma phase of coexistence of normal and superfluid Fermi gases is the characteristics of inhomogeneous system. The minimum ratio of BCS superfluid phase becomes 1/3 in the BCS limit corresponding to the zero-ratio in the two-component system in which the critical point of phase separation is εB/εF = 2 but becomes 3 in the three-component case.

description: Managed populations exhibit different phenotypic and genetic signatures from their natural counterparts. Walleye (Sander vitreus) are a heavily managed species recovering from population collapse in Alberta, Canada. In my thesis, I examined the effects of harvest on growth, mortality, and genetic structure. First, I used 8200 individuals to test associations between growth curves, lake characteristics and management strategies. Second, I used 17,763 individuals to determine how population mortality rates vary between management strategies. Third, I assessed the genetic population structure for seven populations and differences in genetic variation between the 1970s and 2000s. I found that growth rates were associated with certain lake characteristics, including management strategies, and mortality rates did not vary between strategies. I observed a substantial loss of genetic diversity between the 1970s and 2000s, which supports reports of population collapse. My results illustrate the effects of harvest on phenotypic and genetic diversity in managed populations.

Substrate-Integrated Waveguide Based Antenna in Remote Respiratory Sensing

Subjects: Engineering--Electronics and Electrical

description: In a hospital environment, continuous respiratory monitoring is important. It could reduce mortality incidents such as in central sleep apnea. Remote monitoring can be achieved using electromagnetic (EM) waves. Experimental EM systems use horn and patch antennas which do not offer low-profile or wide bandwidth features. This thesis proposes a substrate-integrated waveguide based antenna in respiratory monitoring. A leaky-wave array antenna is designed and fabricated. It operates between 8-9 GHz. The antenna size is 300 mm × 55 mm × 0.78 mm. It offers inexpensive beam-scanning ability to scan the bed. The antenna’s beam width sufficiently covers a typical hospital bed. The fabricated antenna has measured return loss higher than 10 dB and radiates more than 90% of power in frequency range of interest. Measured main beam scans in E-plane (27◦ → 57◦) with frequency. Measured peak gain is higher than 10 dBi.

description: Pyroxene nanoparticles were prepared and grafted with an environmentally friendly monomer for the removal of naphthenic acids from oil sand process-affected water (OSPW) which contributes to its toxicity. Grafting was utilized to achieve high affinity towards the removal of naphthenic acids (NA) in the OSPW. The prepared grafted nanopyroxenes were fully characterized using FTIR, TGA, BET, XRD, HRTEM and AFM to study and confirm their textural surface properties and morphology. Computational modeling was conducted to provide deep insight on the grafting technique as well as the NA removal mechanism. An OSPW sample was characterized using FTIR, NMR, TGA, XRD, SimDist and GC-MS to understand the nature of the contaminants in the wastewater. This was followed by the preparation of a synthetic wastewater solution by dissolving two model molecules and commercial NA in water. Macroscopic batch adsorption experiments were conducted to carefully study the removal mechanism analyzed using GC-MS and compare it with the computational modeling study. The prepared grafted nanopyroxenes were found to interact with the contaminants in the water removing essentially all the two model molecules and about 50% of the commercial NA. The size, shape and structure of the contaminant played a key role in the interaction. The bigger molecules were found to have a stronger interaction with the grafted nanopyroxenes over the smaller ones. The present work holds great promise for the OSPW remediation and the thesis falls within our efforts to reduce the environmental impact of the oil and gas industry in Alberta.
Turbulent Linewidths in Protoplanetary Disks: Predictions from Numerical Simulations

description: Sub-mm observations of protoplanetary disks now approach the acuity needed to measure the turbulent broadening of molecular lines. These measurements constrain disk angular momentum transport, and furnish evidence of the turbulent environment within which planetesimal formation takes place. We use local magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of the magnetorotational instability (MRI) to predict the distribution of turbulent velocities in low mass protoplanetary disks, as a function of radius and height above the mid-plane. We model both ideal MHD disks, and disks in which Ohmic dissipation results in a dead zone of suppressed turbulence near the mid-plane. Under ideal conditions, the disk mid-plane is characterized by a velocity distribution that peaks near v \simeq 0.1cs (where cs is the local sound speed), while supersonic velocities are reached at z > 3H (where H is the pressure scale height). Residual velocities of v \approx 0.01cs persist near the mid-plane in dead zones, while the surface layers remain active. Anisotropic variation of the linewidth with disk inclination is modest. We compare our MHD results to hydrodynamic simulations in which large-scale forcing is used to initiate similar turbulent velocities. We show that the qualitative trend of increasing v with height, seen in the MHD case, persists for forced turbulence and is likely a generic property of disk turbulence. Percent level determinations of v at different heights within the disk, or spatially resolved observations that probe the inner disk containing the dead zone region, are therefore needed to test whether the MRI is responsible for protoplanetary disk turbulence.

description: We explicitly compute the semi-global symplectic invariants near the focus-focus point of the spherical pendulum. A modified Birkhoff normal form procedure is presented to compute the expansion of the Hamiltonian near the unstable equilibrium point in Eliasson-variables. Combining this with explicit formulas for the action we find the semi-global symplectic invariants near the focus-focus point introduced by Vu Ngoc 2003. We also show that the Birkhoff normal form is the inverse of a complete elliptic integral over a vanishing cycle. To our knowledge this is the first time that semi-global symplectic invariants near a focus-focus point have been computed explicitly. We close with some remarks about the pendulum, for which the invariants can be related to theta functions in a beautiful way.

description: Much of the transportation and handling of molten sulfur requires liquid sulfur pumps which are challenging to operate due to the anomalous behaviour of sulfur’s viscosity around its λ-transition region. Sulfur’s viscosity increases from ≈ 10 cP upon melting at T = 115 °C to ≥ 90 000 cP at T = 187 °C. While the temperatures for this viscosity transition is well known, no shear related information can be found in the literature. Understanding the flow behavior of molten sulfur will allow for better pump design and/or qualification of their operational limits. The investigation of the viscosity of molten sulfur was performed using a new Anton Paar MCR 302 rheometer supplied with a 1000 bar titanium pressure cell. Viscosity profiles including attenuation during heating or cooling are discussed, as well as the rheological behaviour of molten sulfur encountered at shear rates experienced within pipe flow and/or commercial sulfur pumps.

description: Globular clusters are old stellar systems which exhibit very-high stellar densities in their cores. The globular cluster Terzan 5 is characterized by a high stellar encounter rate and hosts the largest detected population of millisecond pulsars. It also features bright GeV gamma-ray emission and extended X-ray radiation. However, no globular clusters have been detected in very-high-energy gamma rays (VHE, E> 100 GeV) so far. In order to investigate this possibility Terzan 5 has been observed with the H.E.S.S. telescope array in this energy band. The discovery of a source of VHE gamma rays from the direction of this globular cluster will be reported. The results of the VHE analysis and a multi-wavelength view of Terzan 5 will be presented in this contribution. No counterpart or model can fully explain the observed morphology of the detected VHE gamma-ray source.

title: Use of Miswak Versus Toothbrushes: Oral Health and Behaviors of Jordanian Adults
Creators: name: Tubaishat, Reem Saleem
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2005

description: The purpose of this study was to determine the perceived relationship among miswak, the toothbrush, and toothbrush-plus-miswak usage on oral health beliefs and behaviors of Jordanians. To examine these relationships, a self-designed questionnaire was distributed to a convenience sample of 150 adult subjects (ages 18-60 years) seeking dental care at the health center, and two private dental clinics in Irbid, Jordan. Via the Oral Health Beliefs and Behaviors of Jordanian People Questionnaire, participants were asked to select one and sometimes more than one response regarding their perceived oral health status and oral care behaviors. Content validity of the questionnaire was established by a panel of health sciences faculty at Old Dominion University; test-retest reliability was also established using a sample of Jordanian students studying at Old Dominion University. Information on subjects' age, gender, income, marital status, oral self-care, dental visits, dental products used, and oral health were obtained from each subject's questionnaire. Once questionnaire data were collected, subjects were placed into one of three groups: a miswak-user group (n=4), a miswak-plus-toothbrush user group (n=27), and a toothbrush-user group (n=95). Subject's self-reported oral health practices and perceived oral health status outcomes were analyzed using frequencies, percentages, and the chi-square test of independence to determine statistically significant differences among the three groups according to their self-reported oral health characteristics. Data were processed using the SPSS computer program. Sample profile included 43.8% males, and 56.3% females; 31.3% were married, 61.8% were unmarried; 66% were between 18- 30 years of age, 24.5% were between 31-40; 40.9% earned $100-$200 a month; and 59% hold college/university degrees. In terms of oral health behaviors, 42.5% clean their teeth 1-2 minutes a day, 72% use the toothbrush, and 20.5% use both the toothbrush and miswak. About 48% rated their oral health as good. And 68% reported that using both a toothbrush and miswak is most effective in reducing mouth debris. The chi-square analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between level of education and type of oral cleaning device used, e.g., 66. 7% of the respondents who have a college/ university degree use the toothbrush. When comparing the type of oral cleaning device used with the oral hygiene beliefs, chi-square results revealed a statistically significant association between the time spent cleaning teeth, toothbrushing frequency and frequency of dental visits (X2=32.06, df-=16, P=0.05). No other significant relationships were found between type of oral cleaning device used and oral hygiene beliefs (X2=15.099, df-= 16, P=0.05).

description: Reversible protein phosphorylation catalyzed by protein kinases and phosphatases represents the most prolific and currently best-characterized post-translational modification. Over the last decade advancements in genome sequencing technologies has massively increased genomic databases, resulting in the identification of previously unannotated protein kinases and phosphatases from multiple organisms. The primary goal of the research presented here was to elucidate the evolutionary, biochemical, cellular and biological characteristics of two recently identified PPP-family protein phosphatase subclasses from the model photosynthetic Eukaryote Arabidopsis thaliana. These two subclasses included the Shewanella-like (SLP1 and 2) and Rhizobiales-like (RLPH2) phosphatases, which were named after their relatedness to phosphatase orthologs from Shewanella and Rhizobiales bacteria. Heterologous protein phosphatase expression in, and purification from, Escherichia coli revealed unique biochemical characteristics including a complete insensitivity to PPP-family protein phosphatase inhibitors okadaic acid and microcystin-LR, as well as diversity in their phosphorylated substrate specificities. Bioinformatics complemented cell biology also uncovered unique subcellular localizations for each enzyme, with AtSLP1, 2 and AtRLPH2 being chloroplastic, mitochondrial and nuclear / cytosolic, respectively. Further identification of the AtSLP1 and AtSLP2 protein interactome from both plant tissues and cell culture was accomplished by employing a tandem affinity purification protein isolation strategy, with specific protein interactor complements indicating independent regulatory roles within plant cells involving chloroplast energy biosynthesis and mitochondrial intermembrane space processes, respectively. Lastly, phenotypic analysis of atslp2 insertional mutant and 35S::AtSLP2 over-expression plants revealed biological involvement in regulating gibberellic acid-related processes during seed germination as well as influencing fatty acid and amino acid contents during seed maturation. Research presented here has made significant progress in our understanding of the previously uncharacterized SLP and RLPH PPP-family phosphatase subclasses from Arabidopsis thaliana, by resolving their molecular evolution, in addition to their subcellular, cellular and biochemical properties. A functional understanding of AtSLP1 and AtSLP2 was also achieved through the identification of their protein interaction partners, which, in conjunction with insertional knockout and protein over-expression plant lines, lays a solid foundation for future research endeavors looking to examine bacterial-like phosphatases from photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic Eukaryotes alike.

description: This thesis' primary contribution is that of a new architecture for web application platforms and their extensions, entitled "The Virtual Faraday Cage". This new architecture addresses some of the privacy and security related problems associated with third-party extensions running within web application platforms. A proof-of-concept showing how the Virtual Faraday Cage could be implemented is described. This new architecture aims to help solve some of the key security and privacy concerns for end-users in web applications by creating a mechanism by which a third-party could create an extension that works with end-user data, but which could never leak such information back to the third-party. To facilitate this, the thesis also incorporates a basic privacy-aware access control mechanism. This architecture could be used for centralized web application platforms (such as Facebook) as well as decentralized platforms. Ideally, the Virtual Faraday Cage should be incorporated into the development of new web application platforms, but could also be implemented via wrappers around existing application platform Application Programming Interfaces with minimal changes to existing platform code or workflows.

description: В статье исследуется влияние типа семейного взаимодействия на успеваемость курсантов образовательных организаций МВД России. В заключение авторы отмечают, что детско-родительские отношения являются важным фактором, влияющим на профессиональную успешность курсанта. При оценке характера взаимодействия внутри семьи стоит учитывать множество факторов, как объективных (материальное положение семьи; количество ее членов; характер профессиональной деятельности родителей; отсутствие отца или матери и др.), так и субъективных (уровень автономности ребенка; эмоциональная близость е родителями; характер мер поощрения и наказания, применяемых в семье и др.)

description: In this thesis I present a developing project to elaborate a scientific platform towards the realization of light-matter interaction based on tapered optical nanofiber (TNF) that enables optical fields to interface with trapped neutral atoms in their vicinity. In such a configuration, the guided light exhibits a large portion of evanescent field into the vacuum thus laser cooled atoms can couple to the fiber mode. By trapping and cooling atoms around the nanofiber I investigated the interaction of the atoms with the field. My work presented in this thesis includes: Calculating the evanescent modes propagating through our fiber; Implementing fiber pulling setup using oxyhydrogen flame and analyzing nanofiber’s thermal dynamics and degradation; Constructing a Rubidium 87 MOT and characterizing its critical parameters; Realizing some atom-light interface through an experiment on coupling spontaneously emitted photons from MOT into TNF; Calculating two-color dipole trap parameters for our nanofiber.
