description: Taking into account results obtained from models and from statistical analyses of obtained parameters, we discuss flare activity levels and flare characteristics of five UV Ceti stars. We present the parameters of unpublished flares detected over two years of observations of V1005 Ori. We compare parameters of the U-band flares detected over several seasons of observations of AD Leo, EV Lac, EQ Peg, V1054 Oph, and V1005 Ori. Flare frequencies calculated for all program stars and maximum energy levels of the flares are compared, and we consider which is the most correct parameter as an indicator of flare activity levels. Using the One Phase Exponential Association function, the distributions of flare equivalent duration versus flare total duration are modeled for each program star. We use the Independent Samples t-Test in the statistical analyses of the parameters obtained from the models. The results reveal some properties of flare processes occurring on the surfaces of UV Ceti type stars. (1) Flare energies cannot be higher than a specific value regardless of the length of the flare total duration. This must be a saturation level for white-light flares occurring in flare processes observed in the U band. Thus, for the first time it is shown that white-light flares have a saturation in a specific energy range. (2) The span values, which are the difference between the equivalent durations of flares with the shortest and longest total durations, are almost equal for each star. (3) The half-life values, minimum flare durations for saturation, increase toward the later spectral types.

description: Navigation systems play an important role in many vital disciplines. Determining the location of a user relative to the physical environment (e.g. roadway, intersections, and services) is an important part of transportation services such as in-vehicle navigation, fleet management and infrastructure maintenance. In addition, other navigation services are required for locating the position of a user in an indoor physical environment (e.g. airports, shopping malls, public buildings, university campus). This indoor-based navigation can assist in several applications such as user navigation, enhanced 911 (E911), law enforcement, location-based and marketing services. Both indoor and outdoor navigation applications require a reliable, trustful and continuous navigation solution that overcomes the challenge of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal unavailability. To compensate for this issue, GNSS is now commonly used in tandem with other navigation systems such as Inertial Navigation System (INS). This dual-system integration method provides a solution to GNSS signal outages. However, over time there is a significant amount of drift, characteristic of INS but especially common with low-cost commercial sensors. The effects of drift on INS accuracy highlight the need for additional absolute aiding sensors that can survive for longer periods of time. In this thesis, a map aided navigation solution is developed for GNSS-denied environments. Maps have been the primary medium to visualize the navigation trajectories of a user’s everyday travels. This research investigates and develops an aiding system that utilizes geospatial data models in more than just a visual way. It assists the navigation solution by providing virtual boundaries for the navigation trajectories and limits its possibilities only when it is logical to locate the user on a map. The algorithms subsequently developed integrate several navigation sensors for different navigation solutions. Several geospatial models for both indoor and outdoor environments (e.g. urban canyons) in addition to various map matching algorithms were used to match and project navigation position estimates on the geospatial map and used as an additional feedback for the navigation filter. The developed algorithms were field tested in several indoor and outdoor environments and yielded accurate matching results as well as a significant enhancement to positional accuracy. The achieved results demonstrate that the contribution of the developed map aided system enhances the reliability, usability, and accuracy of navigation trajectories in GNSS-denied environments.

description: We point out that the extra neutralinos and charginos, generically appearing in a large class of $E_6$ inspired models, lead to distinctive signatures from gluino cascade decays involving longer decay chains, more visible transverse energy, softer jets and leptons and less missing transverse energy than in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). On the one hand, this makes the gluino harder to discover for certain types of conventional analysis. On the other hand, the $E_6$ inspired models have enhanced 3- and 4-lepton signatures, as compared to the MSSM, making the gluino more visible in these channels. After extensive scans over the parameter space, we focus on representative benchmark points for the two models, and perform a detailed Monte Carlo analysis of the 3-lepton channel, showing that $E_6$ inspired models are clearly distinguishable from the MSSM in gluino cascade decays.

description: We develop a theory of integrable dispersive deformations of 2+1 dimensional Hamiltonian systems of hydrodynamic type following the scheme proposed by Dubrovin and his collaborators in 1+1 dimensions. Our results show that the multi-dimensional situation is far more rigid, and generic Hamiltonians are not deformable. As an illustration we discuss a particular class of two-component Hamiltonian systems, establishing the triviality of first order deformations and classifying Hamiltonians possessing nontrivial deformations of the second order.

Time-optimal synthesis of SU(2) transformations for a spin-1/2 system

description: We consider a quantum control problem involving a spin-1/2 particle in a magnetic field. The magnitude of the field is held constant, and the direction of the field, which is constrained to lie in the x-y plane, serves as a control parameter that can be varied to govern the evolution of the system. We analytically solve for the time dependence of the control parameter that will synthesize a given target SU(2) transformation in the least possible amount of time, and we show that the time-optimal solutions have a simple geometric interpretation in terms of the fiber bundle structure of SU(2). We also generalize our time-optimal solutions to a control problem that includes a constant bias field along the z axis, and to the case of inhomogeneous control, in which a single control parameter governs the evolution of an ensemble of spin-1/2 systems.

We report also the preprint posted on 8 July in MedRχiv, showing the result of a clinical trial. The preprint tells in the conclusions that add-on use of Ivermectin is giving better results when compared to controls, in particular a significant shorter hospital stay. From news, we consider in particular the case of Iquitos, capital city of the Loreto Region in Peru, where, by May 25, Covid-19 cases and deaths had dropped notably. The formulation of ivermectin used in Peru is also discussed, in particular that of the oral solution disclosed by the Peruvian Government.

description: The relevance of English language proficiency has arisen over the past decade, as it expands the possibilities of distance learning and employment in foreign universities and companies. Just staying in a language environment does not give the proper level of English proficiency; therefore it is necessary to look f or effective strategies to bring it to the C1- C2 level. In the course of this work, the best strategies described in research studies were examined, and then the strategies used by teachers in schools with the study of English as a second language were examined. The results are summarized and structured. The greatest emphasis was placed on strategies to promote fluency in speaking. The best results were shownby the strategies using a pair and group method of working with students.Also, the progress of students is accelerated by methods that help psychologically level the difference in language level within the class. Using the strategies described in this article, teachers can dramatically improve their students' English level and overcome the psychological blocks associated with learning. The work served as the foundation f or further developing and applying our own methodology f or learning English using virtual reality technologies.
National Landscapes: The Australian Literary Community and Environmental Thought in the 1930s and 1940s

description: In 1944 Nettie Palmer, a leading figure in the Australian literary community, asked ‘what is the human value of this last Continent, which stepped straight into the age of industry, world-communications, world-wars, and accepted them all?’ Her question, posed at the height of World War Two, captures well the anxieties that drove Australian literary production across the 1930s and 1940s. During these decades the atmosphere of international catastrophe mingled with a variety of distinctly Australian colonial insecurities and incited a literary effort to enhance the country’s cultural ‘value’. Writers set themselves the task of ushering in an era of cultural ‘maturity’ in Australia as a bulwark against a variety of perceived external and internal threats. This thesis explores the ways that the Australian environment was co-opted into this mission. I argue that unlocking the supposedly untapped and elusive spiritual and material potential of the continent was considered a critical step toward both economic prosperity and national and cultural adulthood. Writers responded to environmental events and problems that were specific to the 1930s and 1940s: their writing registered changing approaches to closer settlement, the rise of institutionalised science, the environmental implications of new technologies and an emerging ecological consciousness. Their imaginative engagement with these processes – available to us in the books, poems, stories and letters they left behind – reveal the ways that contemporary environmental issues provoked and deepened literary concerns about white Australian belonging on the continent. This thesis is a fusion of historical, literary and environmental approaches. I highlight specific authors – Nettie Palmer, Henrietta Drake-Brockman, Frank Dalby Davison and Brooke Nicholls, M. Barnard Eldershaw, Ian Mudie, William Hatfield and Flexmore Hudson – who wrote directly or indirectly about the Australian landscape in the 1930s and 1940s. Although they did not always share a unified environmental, political or even literary sensibility, this cohort was united by a sense of the social responsibility of writers and a desire to locate in Australia’s varied landscapes a national culture that they hoped would prove robust in the face of the catastrophes of the early to mid-twentieth century.
Design and Analysis of an Intelligent Decision Support System for Trading and its Application to Electricity Trading

description: The financial trading market is a highly complex and dynamic system, which is the limiting factor preventing any model from accurately predicting its movements. Because of this limiting factor, trading in a market can be risky for individuals and institutions that could experience financial losses and this can impact the overall economy. It remains an on-going research challenge to find approaches to minimize the risk in trading. The focus of this PhD research is on a multi-agent based simulation approach to provide decision support to traders to help minimize the risk from trading. We address four problems in the existing research on decision support systems for trading: 1) lack of a modeling framework, 2) lack of direction on modeling personas, 3) lack of direction on how to provide decision support to traders, and 4) lack of analysis on quality of forecasts. The main contributions of the research is the design, analysis, development and validation of a new decision support paradigm for trading called T-Evolve*. We have also developed a new intelligent decision support technology called TRAMAS. The paradigm together with TRAMAS supports traders by allowing them to simulate different market models composed of agents with different personas and forecast beliefs. Exploring and analysing the simulation results provides guidance to traders on potential market outcomes; this is then used to develop a trading plan for tomorrow’s market. The core element of TRAMAS is the incorporation of actors with different personas and forecasts beliefs, instantiated by agents. The advantage of our approach is twofold. First, different personas of participants exist in every market, thus incorporating personas is a natural representation of the real market. Second, forecast beliefs are a natural belief of participants because forecasts about the future market play a critical role in how a market may develop tomorrow. Two industrial-oriented case studies with empirical evidence support our approach. The validation of our approach by nine industry experts confirms, within the context of this research, that our approach has merit and can be useful in a real-world setting. TRAMAS also predicts with 77% accuracy the direction of future markets for six different days.

description: The split basis of an irreducible representation of the symmetric group, $S_{n+m}$, is the basis which is adapted to direct product subgroups of the form $S_{n} \times S_{m}$. In this article we have calculated symmetric group subduction coefficients relating the standard Young-Yamanouchi basis for the symmetric group to the split basis by means of a novel version of the Schur-Weyl duality. We have also directly obtained matrix representations in the split basis using these techniques. The advantages of this approach are that we obtain analytical expressions for the subduction coefficients and matrix representations and directly resolve issues of multiplicity in the subduction of $S_{n} \times S_{m}$ irreducible representations from $S_{n+m}$ irreducible representations. Our method is applicable to $S_{n+m}$ irreducible representations labelled by Young diagrams with large row length differences. We provide evidence for a systematic expansion in the inverse row length difference and tools to compute the leading contribution, which is exact when row length differences are infinite.

Subjects: NX Arts in general

description: There are places in the world, such as churches, public buildings,
 or stadiums, that hold special meaning, house artistic heritage,
 or stand as symbols. In addition to typical visitors, such sites
 attract non-typical visitors, namely tourists. They are sites that
 are not museums but that are used as if they were. These
 circumstances create an unusual condition that, in theory,
 requires strategic managerial choices, since the museum-like use
 adds to the traditional use.
 In light of this, the question must be asked:
 Can contemporary museum practices be implemented at
 museum-like sites, while preserving the original function of
 the sites?
 The main research question leads to further queries. For
 example: when is a site also a museum? Can different collective
 social behaviors be considered rituals? How can different
 behaviors/rituals be managed in the same place? Can different
 narratives and behaviors coexist? If so, how? In particular, what
 tools and design solutions can an architect apply?
 This research focuses on the set of issues related to sites that are
 enjoyed as 'museums,' while maintaining their original use. The
 research develops in two main parts. Following the introduction,
 the first part describes the theoretical framework, in which
 general concepts about museums and rituals are related to the
 research subject. The second is dedicated to the case studies.
 To answer to the research question, the study aims to construct a
 theoretical and multidisciplinary framework that helps to
 interpret complex situations. In fact, the theoretical part is a tool
 for understanding such spaces and their users. The analysis of
 the cases enables answering both the main questions and the
 sub-questions of the research. The selected case studies are: the
 Complex and Basilica of Santa Croce, Florence, Italy; the
 Maracana Stadium, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; the National
 September 11 Memorial and Museum, New York City, NY, USA.

Is variety the spice of memory? Comparing the effects of two types of encoding variability on correct and false memory

description: Whether encoding variability facilitates memory depends on whether item-specific and relational processing are both performed across study blocks, and whether study items are weakly versus strongly related. Variable-processing groups studied a word list once using an item-specific task and once using a relational task. Variable-task groups’ two different study tasks recruited the same type of processing each block. Repeated-task groups performed the same study task each block. Recall and recognition were greatest in the variable-processing group, but only with weakly related lists. A variable-processing benefit also occurred when task-based processing was incongruent with the type of processing sponsored by a given list type (e.g., item-specific task with a related list), rather than redundant (e.g., relational task with a related list). Item-specific processing also reduced associative false recognition. Thus, performing both item-specific and relational processing, either within a block or across blocks, may be critical to producing an encoding-variability advantage.

description: Statistically analyzing Johnson UBVR observations of V1285 Aql during the three observing seasons, both activity level and behavior of the star are discussed in respect to obtained results. We also discuss the out-of-flare variation due to rotational modulation. Eighty-three flares were detected in the U-band observations of season 2006 . First, depending on statistical analyses using the independent samples t-test, the flares were divided into two classes as the fast and the slow flares. According to the results of the test, there is a difference of about 73 s between the flare-equivalent durations of slow and fast flares. The difference should be the difference mentioned in the theoretical models. Second, using the one-phase exponential association function, the distribution of the flare-equivalent durations versus the flare total durations was modeled. Analyzing the model, some parameters such as plateau, half-life values, mean average of the flare-equivalent durations, maximum flare rise, and total duration times are derived. The plateau value, which is an indicator of the saturation level of white-light flares, was derived as 2.421{\pm}0.058 s in this model, while half-life is computed as 201 s. Analyses showed that observed maximum value of flare total duration is 4641 s, while observed maximum flare rise time is 1817 s. According to these results, although computed energies of the flares occurring on the surface of V1285 Aql are generally lower than those of other stars, the length of its flaring loop can be higher than those of more active stars.

description: To explore the properties of extreme outer stellar disks, we obtained ultra-deep V and GALEX UV images of 4 dwarf irregular galaxies and one Blue Compact Dwarf galaxy and ultra-deep B images of 3 of these. Our V-band surface photometry extends to 29.5 magnitudes arcsec^-2. We convert the FUV and V-band photometry, along with Halpha photometry, into radial star formation rate profiles that are sensitive to timescales from 10 Myrs to the lifetime of the galaxy. We also compare the stellar distributions, surface brightness profiles, and star formation rate profiles to HI-line emission maps, gas surface density profiles, and gas kinematics. Our data lead us to two general observations: First, the exponential disks in these irregular galaxies are extraordinarily regular. The stellar disks continue to decline exponentially as far as our measurements extend. In spite of lumpiness in the distribution of young stars and HI distributions and kinematics that have significant unordered motions, sporadic processes that have built the disks-star formation, radial movement of stars, and perhaps even perturbations from the outside-have, nevertheless, conspired to produce standard disk profiles. Second, there is a remarkable continuity of star formation throughout these disks over time. In four out of five of our galaxies the star formation rate in the outer disk measured from the FUV tracks that determined from the V-band, to within factors of 5, requiring star formation at a fairly steady rate over the galaxy's lifetime. Yet, the HI surface density profiles generally decline with radius more shallowly than the stellar light, and the gas is marginally gravitationally stable against collapse into clouds. Outer stellar disks are challenging our concepts of star formation and disk growth and provide a critical environment in which to understand processes that mold galaxy disks.

Consumers' predicted and actual reactions towards preferential treatment
Creators: name: Jiang, Lan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This research presents five studies, a mix of field experiments and scenario simulations, to demonstrate people’s intuition about as well as their actual response towards preferential treatment. I show that while people assume that only positive feelings would arise from receiving a preferential treatment, negative concerns do emerge when the treatment is actually experienced in a social environment, reducing the overall satisfaction and affecting purchase behaviors. I argue and find that impression concern and empathy underlies the negative influences of the social environment. In addition, I show that the failure to recognize these negative emotions when imagining the effects of preferential treatment is due to a tendency to overlook contextual information, i.e., the social environment, when people make predictions in a hypothetical scenario. Implications for theory and managerial practice are also discussed.

description: This thesis presents a fast-locking technique and architecture for phase-locked-loop{based frequency synthesizers. To obtain a fast acquisition behaviour, the output signal frequency is preset in advance. Within two cycles after frequency preset the phase di erence at the input of the phase-frequency detector is coarsely compensated with the aid of a digital delay- locked loop. The remainder of the phase di erence is compensated by the charge-pump PLL. The roughly synchronized signal takes negligible time to settle. The proposed architecture and technique were utilized in the design of a 1-GHz on-chip frequency synthesizer. The veracity of the proposed technique and architecture is studied through simulations in the TSMC 65-nm CMOS technology schematic simulation. As a proof of the concept, a discrete frequency synthesizer is constructed and measurements carried out in order to illustrate the acquisition process and its superiority to conventional synthesizers. As simulated in 65-nm CMOS technology, the frequency synthesizer consumes 12 mW dc power. At 1 GHz the output's peak-to-peak jitter is 11 ps and its rms jitter is 1.9 ps.

subject: Seismic Refraction

description: The petrophysical statistics of Paskapoo Formation lithologies were established from five Alberta Geological Survey boreholes after the lithologies were reclassified into a smaller set of groups. The study focused on gamma, density, resistivity, and sonic logs. Results show that 92 API and 19 ohm.m is the gamma and resistivity cutoff between sandstone and mudrock, and indicate that electrical resistivity method can be used to distinguish lithology of the Paskapoo Fm., while seismic refraction method has limited usage. Electrical resistivity and seismic refraction data were collected in a field site, Priddis, Alberta and processed to test the feasibility of the two methods to constrain the subsurface architecture. With the assistance from Priddis borehole and the combined interpretation of the two tomograms, results show the depth to the bedrock ranges from 5 to 10 m and heterogeneous upper part of the bedrock is dominated by sandstone and mudrock.
Generation and characterization of embryonic stem cell lines derived from the YAC128 mouse model of Huntington disease.

description: Huntington Disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder caused by a CAG trinucleotide repeat expansion in the Huntingtin gene. Patients typically present in mid-life with progressive motor dysfunction, cognitive deficits, and neuropsychiatric abnormalities. Recently, researchers have provided evidence that HD is associated with significant pathology in peripheral tissues as well. At the current time no effective treatment has been proven to alter or cure progression of HD which leads to complete loss of independence and eventual death an average of 20 years after disease onset. The ability to model Huntington disease in animals has enabled studies which have provided new insights into the mechanisms of HD pathogenesis. However, the development of simple cell culture-based systems will be useful to accelerate our research efforts into the basic underlying pathogenic pathways of HD and will allow dissection of cellular interactions and the identification of novel targets for intervention that offer the greatest hope of a cure. The YAC mouse model of HD expresses full-length human Huntingtin with either 18 polyglutamines (YAC18) or 128 polyglutamines (YAC128), and develops age-dependent cognitive deficits, motor dysfunction, and selective striatal neurodegeneration similar to that seen in human HD patients. I have generated novel embryonic stem (ES) cell lines from wild-type, YAC18 and YAC128 mice on two genetic backgrounds. These cell lines have been cultured under defined conditions over long periods of time, and express characteristic markers of pluripotency, such as alkaline phosphatase, Oct-4 and Nanog. Neurons and macrophages derived from these novel cell lines using established in vitro protocols have been characterized via immunocytochemistry and challenged in functional assays. To confirm results attained from functional assays in our ES-derived macrophages, I examined primary macrophages and microglia cultures derived from the YAC mice and determined the functional response of these cells to endotoxin stimulation. Primary cell cultures isolated from YAC128 mice produced significantly more IL-6 than wild-type cultures. In comparison, with the same endotoxin stimulation, YAC18 primary macrophages and microglia responded with similar levels of IL-6 release as cultures of wild-type cells, suggesting that the over-activity in the YAC128 cytokine response is caused by the mutant Huntingtin transgene.

description: The investigation of several definitions of the term "political discourse" and the role of translation of them is the main focus of this article. Different categories of linguists and scientists are examined, and the characteristics of stylistic techniques and lexical units used in the translation of speeches by British politicians are explained. The linguistic awareness and worldview of contemporary society are shaped by political discourse. Political discourse encompasses all the elements that are present in the minds of both the writer and the reader and can impact speech generation and perception, such as previous texts, political beliefs and the political context.
Gender Neutral Legislative Drafting In India

description: To prevent prejudice emerging out of the belief that there is a social position of rivals who are best suited for a class, equality between women and men explains the idea between laws, vocabulary and other social structures that can prevent separating roles from race or sex. It stresses gender equality in the civil, economic and legal equitable treatment of men and women without prejudice. Gender Neutral Society is desperately needed. Justice, should not only be in our minds and books; it should be in actual words. In our view, all genders should be equal, equal rights and equal obligations should be applied to them. Men or women should be only a matter of words. Everybody should be handled fairly, regardless of age, from home to school to the workplace. Gender justice is a society of equal resources, freedoms and obligations for every individual in every sphere of life.
 Gender-neutrality is mainstream justice today. No one likes to bear a tag of women, men or a third gender anymore. The millennials believe that every human being is equal and capable of doing wonders in every field and hence arises the need for gender-neutral legislative drafting in a democratic country. In the urban areas of India, practices such as gender-neutral parenting are gaining wide acceptance and recognition. We can see a trend that the Indian mass have stopped defining each other by what we are not and started defining ourselves by who we are. In such times of flux and dynamic changes, the pillars that hold and govern the country and its citizens should also change with it, especially the law that is the backbone of the most populous democracy in the world.
 Ultimately it rests upon the law-makers, the legislators to ensure that gender-specific words and taglines are used in legislations so far as it is practicable possible, at no more than a reasonable cost to brevity or intelligibility. The Legislators in today's time are rushed and have very less time even to proofread the draft bills that are being presented to be enacted. Macaulay took ten years to draft the Indian Penal Code. He was a master of language and had a prodigious memory and could recite Paradise Lost backwards. None of the draftsmen of today can claim his virtues. They certainly need more time as have been well established throughout, through several and numerous examples.
 Gender neutrality and legislative drafting if and when incorporated in into the current system efficiently and effectively can do wonders to the society; it will blast a big hole into gender-based discriminations. It will usher in a new era where the citizens’ heads are held high and are proud of a country that does not categorize them according to their sexes or genders but treats them equally with dignity and truly for what they are- human beings.

description: The 1960 was a momentous year for Nigeria as it made a transition from British to self rule. But this change in status posed serious difficulties: because of her size, economic potential and the possibility of playing a leading role in African affairs, she was vulnerable to being influenced by the Soviet Union and its communist ideology. For the West, it would be a huge embarrassment if Nigeria, and indeed, Tropical Africa, fell into communist hands. As a committed member of the Western ‘Free World’ alliance, Canada saw in the Cold War rivalry an opportunity to engage pragmatically with Nigeria to ward off communist interests. Aid was a principal tool used to achieve this objective. Engagements with Nigeria, however, simultaneously created opportunities for Ottawa to advance its foreign policy goals of promotion of human rights, democracy and the rule of law as well as trade.

description: Objective: To investigate the longitudinal relationship between work stress and problematic drinking in the Canadian working population using data from the National Population Health Survey. Methods: Participants (n=4,326) were classified by work stress based on the Job Content Questionnaire. Problematic drinking was defined in three ways: 5+ drinks on one occasion at least once per month during the past 12 months, 10+ drinks/week for women and 15+ drinks/week for men, and a proxy of the AUDIT-C. Results: Men with high work stress at baseline were at lower risk of problematic drinking, regardless of the way in which work stress or problematic drinking were defined. Problematic drinking was not consistently associated with work stress among women. Conclusions: Among men, high work stress was associated with a decreased risk of problematic drinking. Future research is necessary to further clarify the relationship between work stress and problematic drinking among working Canadians.
