description: Populations of mobile and communicating agents describe a vast array of technological and natural systems, ranging from sensor networks to animal groups. Here, we investigate how a group-level agreement may emerge in the continuously evolving network defined by the local interactions of the moving individuals. We adopt a general scheme of motion in two dimensions and we let the individuals interact through the minimal naming game, a prototypical scheme to investigate social consensus. We distinguish different regimes of convergence determined by the emission range of the agents and by their mobility, and we identify the corresponding scaling behaviors of the consensus time. In the same way, we rationalize also the behavior of the maximum memory used during the convergence process, which determines the minimum cognitive/storage capacity needed by the individuals. Overall, we believe that the simple and general model presented in this paper can represent a helpful reference for a better understanding of the behavior of populations of mobile agents.

description: We prove that $k$-th order derivatives of perturbative classical solutions to the hard and soft potential Boltzmann equation (without the angular cut-off assumption) in the whole space, ${\mathbb R}^{n}_x$ with $n \ge 3$, converge in large-time to the global Maxwellian with the optimal decay rate of $O(t^{-1/2(k+\varrho+\frac{n}{2}-\frac{n}{r})})$ in the $L^r_x(L^2_{v})$-norm for any $2\leq r\leq \infty$. These results hold for any $\varrho \in [0, n/2]$ as long as initially $\| f_0|_{\dot{B}^{-\varrho,\infty}_2 L^2_{v}} < \infty$. In the hard potential case, we prove faster decay results in the sense that if $|\mathbf{P} f_0\|_{\dot{B}^{-\varrho,\infty}_2 L^2_{v}} < \infty$ and $|({\mathbf{I} - \mathbf{P}}) f_0|_{\dot{B}^{-\varrho+1,\infty}_2 L^2_{v}} < \infty$ for $\varrho \in (n/2, (n+2)/2]$ then the solution decays to zero in $L^2_v(L^2_x)$ with the optimal large time decay rate of $O(t^{-1/2\varrho})$.

description: We prove the ill-posedness of the 3-D baratropic Navier-Stokes equation for the initial density and velocity belonging to the critical Besov space $(\dot{B}^{\f 3p}_{p,1}+\barρ,\,\dot{B}^{\f 3p-1}_{p,1})$ for $p>6$ in the sense that a ``norm inflation" happens in finite time, here $\barρ$ is a positive constant. Our argument also shows that the compressible viscous heat-conductive flows is ill-posed for the initial density, velocity and temperature belonging to the critical Besov space $(\dot{B}^{\f 3p}_{p,1}+\barρ,\,\dot{B}^{\f 3p-1}_{p,1},\,\dot{B}^{\f 3p-2}_{p,1})$ for $p>3$. These results shows that the compressible Navier-Stokes equations are ill-posed in the smaller critical spaces compared with the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations.

Rilevanza della forma grafica dello scritto giuridico (sul rapporto autore-editore-lettore)

Subjects: Diritto, metodologia, criteri redazionali, editori.

description: L’editoria giuridica degli ultimi anni, anziché tendere all’adozione di criteri redazionali uniformi, sembra volgersi alla ricerca di modalità originali, apparentemente finalizzate al risparmio del singolo carattere tipografico. L’informatizzazione dei sistemi, che avrebbe potuto ampliare la gamma delle modalità comunicative, nella prospettiva di tali editori pare invece averla ridotta. In questo contesto l’autonomia espressiva dell’autore resta condizionata in un modo che non sembra giustificato né da un autentico risparmio, né da altre più elevate esigenze. La pubblicazione on-line può scavalcare di netto questi problemi.

The water margin : security and securitization in China's water crisis
Creators: name: Chen, Yunnan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: It is increasingly apparent that China’s freshwater availability and supply are becoming a serious constraint upon its developmental and human needs – to the point of internal crisis, as supply is set to peak by 2030. This has been a running trend alongside other environmental problems caused by the economic boom. Whilst China has made significant inroads in tackling water and environmental issues, this paper argues that water has been treated as a security issue in rhetoric and action. This paper employs the Copenhagen School framework to analyse how the government has securitized water resources, and also attempts to analyse the rationale and interests behind its response, using the lens of fragmented authoritarianism to explain the diverse emergent responses to water shortage within the state. The supply-side strategies the Chinese state has espoused as part of the securitization of water are also shown to be detrimental to its other environmental goals and political interests.

description: Presentiamo in traduzione italiana due testi di Bachtin redatti intorno agli anni 1944-1945 quali appunti preparatori a un lavoro su Gustave Flaubert. Da queste pagine lo scrittore francese mostra di rappresentare per il pensatore russo una figura molto più importante di quanto si supponesse finora. Fra i tanti motivi di estremo interesse qui presenti segnaliamo la riflessione sul ruolo degli animali in letteratura in riferimento al tema flaubertiano della bêtise – con aperture teoriche che troveranno ampie conferme negli studi letterari degli anni più recenti – e, ad essa legato, l’insistito richiamo sulla «possibilità di una visione del mondo completamente diversa», che ammetta la «curvatura» dello spazio e del tempo, quale presupposto della parola romanzesca.

description: The recent global fit of short baseline neutrino oscillation data favors the presence of one (or more) sterile neutrino state which leads to new mass splitting Δm^2 ~1 eV^2. We consider the effect of this new states on the evolution of neutrinos from the dark matter annihilation inside the Sun. We show that neutrinos with energy E_ν> 100 GeV undergo resonant active-sterile oscillation which depletes the flux of neutrinos arriving at the Earth. As an example of this effect, we present the oscillation probabilities for the case of monochromatic neutrinos from the direct annihilation of dark matter particles to neutrinos and the depletion due to the presence of sterile neutrinos.

Special values of anticyclotomic l-functions
Creators: name: Hamieh, Alia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This thesis consists of four chapters and deals with two different problems which are both related to the broad topic of special values of anticyclotomic L-functions. In Chapter 3, we generalize some results of Vatsal on studying the special values of Rankin-Selberg L-functions in an anticyclotomic ℤ_p-extension. Let g be a cuspidal Hilbert modular form of parallel weight (2,...,2) and level N over a totally real field F, and let K/F be a totally imaginary quadratic extension of relative discriminant D. We study the l-adic valuation of the special values L(g,χ,½) as χ varies over the ring class characters of K of P-power conductor, for some fixed prime ideal P. We prove our results under the only assumption that the prime to P part of N is relatively prime to D. In Chapter 4, we compute a basis for the two-dimensional subspace S_(k/₂)(Γ₀(4N),F) of half-integral weight modular forms associated, via the Shimura correspondence, to a newform F ∈ S_(k₋₁)(Γ₀(N)), which satisfies L(F,½) ≠ 0. Here, we let k be a positive integer such that k ≡ 3 mod 4 and N be a positive square-free integer. This is accomplished by using a result of Waldspurger, which allows one to produce a basis for the forms that correspond to a given F via local considerations, once a form in the Kohnen space has been determined. The squares of the Fourier coefficients of these forms are known to be essentially proportional to the central critical values of the L-function of F twisted by some quadratic characters.

description: Contrary to previous studies that classify Na2IrO3 as a realization of the Heisenberg-Kitaev model with dominant spin-orbit coupling, we show that this system represents a highly unusual case in which the electronic structure is dominated by the formation of quasi-molecular orbitals (QMOs), with substantial quenching of the orbital moments. The QMOs consist of six atomic orbitals on an Ir hexagon, but each Ir atom belongs to three different QMOs. The concept of such QMOs in solids invokes very different physics compared to the models considered previously. Employing density functional theory calculations and model considerations we find that both the insulating behavior and the experimentally observed zigzag antiferromagnetism in Na2IrO3 naturally follow from the QMO model.

description: In this work we introduce and study tree-like tableaux, which are certain fillings of Ferrers diagrams in simple bijection with permutation tableaux and alternative tableaux. We exhibit an elementary insertion procedure on our tableaux which gives a clear proof that tree-like tableaux of size n are counted by n!, and which moreover respects most of the well-known statistics studied originally on alternative and permutation tableaux. Our insertion procedure allows to define in particular two simple new bijections between tree-like tableaux and permutations: the first one is conceived specifically to respect the generalized pattern 2-31, while the second one respects the underlying tree of a tree-like tableau.

description: It has been noticed recently that transverse momenta (p_T) distributions observed in high energy production processes exhibit remarkably universal scaling behaviour. This is the case when a suitable variable replaces the usual p_T. On the other hand, it is also widely known that transverse momentum distributions in general follow a power-like Tsallis distribution, rather than an exponential Boltzmann-Gibbs, with a (generally energy dependent) nonextensivity parameter q. Here we show that it is possible to choose a suitable variable such that all the data can be fitted by the same Tsallis distribution (with the same, energy independent value of the q-parameter). Thus they exhibit q-scaling.

description: In a recent paper of Akhmedov, Etnyre, Mark and Smith, it was shown that there exist infinitely many contact Seifert fibered 3-manifolds each of which admits infinitely many exotic (homeomorphic but pairwise non-diffeomorphic) simply-connected Stein fillings. Here we extend this result to a larger set of contact Seifert fibered 3-manifolds with many singular fibers and observe that these 3-manifolds are singularity links. In addition, we prove that the contact structures induced by the Stein fillings are the canonical contact structures on these singularity links. As a consequence, we verify a prediction of Andras Nemethi by providing examples of isolated complex surface singularities whose links with their canonical contact structures admitting infinitely many exotic simply-connected Stein fillings. Moreover, for infinitely many of these contact singularity links and for each positive integer n, we also construct an infinite family of exotic Stein fillings with fixed fundamental group $\mathbb{Z} \oplus \mathbb{Z}_n$.

Development of experimental techniques for studying gas diffusion and water transport in the porous media of fuel cells
Creators: name: Tahseen, Siddiq Husain
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells, which produces electricity by oxidation of hydrogen and reduction of oxygen with water as the only waste product, have shown great potential as a zero-emission and high-efficiency source of energy. Despite the numerous advantages of the fuel cell, its performance must still be improved significantly. Numerous studies have identified water management as the major problem hindering commercialization of fuel cells. One of the components playing an important role in water management is the porous gas diffusion layer (GDL) across which reactant transport and water removal occur. Due to a long operation or large output current, the water production rate exceeds the water removal rate. As a result, water accumulates in the pores of the GDL and blocks convective and diffusive transport of reactants. This is the origin of the limiting current. To enhance water management, the reactant transport and water removal mechanisms inside the GDL needs to be thoroughly studied. Despite various numerical models developed to illustrate the multiphase flow in the cell, these mechanisms are not well understood due to the structural complexity of the GDL. In this thesis, experimental techniques are developed for the measurement of gas diffusion and water content inside the GDL. For the latter, the fluorescence microscopy technique is used to measure the pressure and time required for water to penetrate and break through the surface of the GDL. The results show that the breakthrough time and pressure are larger for hydrophobic GDLs. However, the effect of the sample thickness is found to be negligible. An innovative experimental technique is developed for the determination of the effective diffusion co- iii efficient as a function of the water content in the GDL. The results demonstrate that diffusivity is greater for samples with higher porosity. Also, it is shown that the presence of cracks in the micro-porous layer of the GDL increases water accumulation within the pores, reducing significantly diffusive transport within the GDL. These experimental techniques provide basic insights into the transport properties of the GDL which can lead to the design of new materials that enhance transport inside the porous media.

description: We present a calculation of heavy-flavor production in hadronic collisions in association with one jet matched to parton shower Monte Carlo programs at next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD. Top-quark decays are included and spin correlations in the decay products are taken into account. The calculation builds on existing results for the radiative corrections to heavy-quark plus one jet production and uses the POWHEG BOX for the interface to the parton shower programs PYTHIA or HERWIG. A broad phenomenological study for the Large Hadron Collider and the Tevatron is presented. In particular we study---as one important sample application---the impact of the parton shower on the top-quark charge asymmetry.

description: The article examines two plays, in them the Israeli dramatist Ħanok Levin deals with biblical subjects.
The first is the sketch “The Binding of Isaac”, that was performed in 1970, inside the satyrical cabaret
“The Queen of the Bathroom”. The second is “Job’s Sorrows”, one of the most important of Levin’s ‘mythological
dramas’, that was performed in 1981, under the production of the autor himself. Through the sketch - and the
song that completes it - Levin criticizes the Israelis euforia after the Six Days war, while in the drama
he starts from “Job’s Book” to ask fundamental questions about human life, such as the significance of
sorrow and ‘what is the human being’. In Levin’s drama Job’s figure blends into Christ’s figure, and in
this way the dramatist deals also with the proposal of christian Redemption, which he refuses too. In the
last part of the play, the focus moves to the relation between pleasure and sorrow, and to the
spectacularisation of both in the ‘show’s society’: the crucifized Job becomes the principal attraction
of a circus and his agony moans get confused with the pleasure moans of a striptease. In this part Levin
asks also the metatheatrical question about what one has to expect from the performance. Is clear answer
is that there is nothing behind the performance, so as nothing is behind the sorrow, but the strenght
with these questions return in his tragical dramas disclose that such problems were for him both a
worry and a source of poetry.

description: Im Zuge der zunehmenden Digitalisierung von Schulen bieten Lernplattformen grundsätzlich das Potenzial, Lehrkräfte bei der Umsetzung adaptiver Lehr-Lern-Prozesse durch digital-gestütztes Feedback zu unterstützen. Allerdings wurden die Lernplattformen, die in Schulen vermehrt eingesetzt werden, bislang kaum empirisch untersucht. Entsprechend erfolgt im vorliegenden Beitrag ausgehend von theoretischen Erkenntnissen der Feedbackforschung eine Analyse digital-gestützten Feedbacks von Lernplattformen – hier auf Grund ihrer weiten Verbreitung im Bildungsbereich konkret und exemplarisch am Beispiel der Lernplattform bettermarks für das Unterrichtsfach Mathematik. Potenziale und Grenzen digital-gestützten Feedbacks als spezifischem Moment adaptiver Lernunterstützung werden aufgezeigt und mit Blick auf ihren möglichen Beitrag zur Schul- und Unterrichtsentwicklung diskutiert.

description: The present contribution outlines George Tabori’s career as a playwright and a director in the time  span between 1947 and 2007 in American and European theatre, emphasizing his position as a ‘wise stranger’  in German post-war culture. Then, the intertextual and metaphorical presence of the Holy Scriptures in his  plays The Cannibals (1969), Mein Kampf (1987), and especially The Goldberg Variations (1991) is examined  with respect to the key issues of his production: anti-Semitism before, during and after the Holocaust and  its representation on the contemporary stage.

description: Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) is an emerging experimental protocol for profiling gene expression levels at a single-cell resolution. It significantly improves researchers’ ability to characterize diversity among biological systems. Although scRNA-seq experiments are powerful and popular, they suffer from technical noise, dropouts, batch effects, and biases. Many statistical and machine learning methods have been designed to overcome these challenges. In recent years, there has been a shift from traditional statistical models to deep learning models. But are deep models better for scRNA-seq analysis? Published literature claimed that deep-learning-based models, such as scVI, outperform conventional models, such as ZINB-WaVE. Here, we used a novel optimization procedure combined with modern machine learning software packages to overcome the scalability and efficiency challenges inherited in traditional tools. We showed that our implementation is more efficient than both conventional models and deep learning models. Moreover, our model is scalable to millions of samples. It has performance comparable with deep models in terms of accuracy. As the devil is in the implementation details, the supremacy of deep models may not be due to their sophisticated deep architecture. Instead, the source of effectiveness is merely the optimization procedure built-in to deep models implementations, which could also be adopted by many traditional models.
A measurement of the ratio of the W and Z cross sections with exactly one associated jet in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with ATLAS
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The ratio of production cross sections of the W and Z bosons with exactly one associated jet is presented as a function of jet transverse momentum threshold. The measurement has been designed to maximise cancellation of experimental and theoretical uncertainties, and is reported both within a particle-level kinematic range corresponding to the detector acceptance and as a total cross-section ratio. Results are obtained with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV using an integrated luminosity of 33 pb^-1. The results are compared with perturbative leading-order, leading-log, and next-to-leading-order QCD predictions, and are found to agree within experimental and theoretical uncertainties. The ratio is measured for events with a single jet with p_T > 30 GeV to be 8.73 +/- 0.30 (stat) +/- 0.40 (syst) in the electron channel, and $ 8.49 +/- 0.23 (stat) +/- 0.33 (syst) in the muon channel.

description: Small (< 25 kg) aerial drones have expanded the remote sensing toolkit for disaster management activities, resulting in hundreds of published case studies in the past two decades. The overall goal of this doctoral research, which comprises three related studies, is to evaluate drone-based pre- and post-disaster remote sensing as a tool to support disaster management. The first study provides a critical review of drone-based remote sensing in natural hazard-related disasters to highlight research trends, biases, and expose new opportunities. Recommendations for future research include a greater focus on demonstrating and evaluating drone-based support of pre-disaster data acquisition (a preparedness activity) and rapid damage assessment (a response activity). As such, the second study presents the first pre-disaster drone-based mapping mission over an urban area (downtown Victoria, British Columbia) approved by Transport Canada. The objective was to assess the quality of 3D data obtained with the only legally approved drone. Finally, the third study demonstrates rapid mapping of hurricane roof damage using artificial intelligence (deep learning) and drone imagery, including an accuracy assessment. Overall, this doctoral research identified critical knowledge gaps in the field of pre- and post-disaster remote sensing with small aerial drones, and then demonstrated and evaluated drone-based support of two building-damage-related activities that were recommended for future research.
Il teatro di Edna Mazya: dal dramma famigliare a quello storico-politico
Creators: name: Steindler Moscati, Gabriella

Subjects: Edna Mazya; Erode

description: A macroscopic trend in contemporary Israeli literature concerns the growing success and increase of women writers. Even in theatre - a genre which, in current Jewish culture, is new in many aspects -, many women dramatists are  gaining considerable achievements. The incidence of this phenomenon may be valued in the light of some innovative contributions, such as the elaboration of various female - or feminist - themes. The dramatic writings of Edna Mazya are particularly eloquent if read according to this analysis. In this article we will deal with some of her literary topics, which recur especially in her drama Herod (May 2000): on the one hand, the biblical inspiration and the actualization of biblical features and Mazya's leitmotif, i.e. the representation of marginalized characters and their stories in contrast to the “main stream”.

description: Lepton flavor violation (LFV) has been observed in neutrino oscillations. For charged lepton FV decays only upper limits are known, but sizable branching ratios are expected in many neutrino mass models. High scale models, such as the classical supersymmetric seesaw, usually predict that decays $l_i \to 3 l_j$ are roughly a factor $α$ maller than the corresponding decays $l_i \to l_j γ$. Here we demonstrate that the $Z^0$-penguin diagram can give an enhancement for decays $l_i \to 3 l_j$ in many extensions of the MSSM. We first discuss why the $Z^0$-penguin is not dominant in the MSSM with seesaw and show that much larger contributions from the $Z^0$-penguin are expected in general. We then demonstrate the effect numerically in two example models, namely, the supersymmetric inverse seesaw and R-parity violating supersymmetry.

Supporting Students in the Publishing Process: A Blended Learning Approach

Publisher: name: University of Calgary

description: This presentation will describe the development and assessment of evidence-informed learning resources for graduate students on the topic of academic publishing. Students pursuing graduate degrees are under increasing pressure to publish, often to bolster their career prospects, or to enhance their university’s profile (1). Although both disciplinary mentors and academic librarians have developed learning resources to help students advance their knowledge and skills about academic publishing, these resources are not always based on a robust needs assessment and may not meet students’ actual learning needs (2–5). In response, the research team conducted focus groups with graduate students to understand what they wanted to learn, and how they wanted to learn it. We found that students are eager for a blended learning approach to this topic that uses online resources to address information gaps at the point of need, combined with more personalized and relational learning spaces to support community and well-being. We will describe how we are responding to student feedback with an online multimedia guide as well as exploring opportunities for learning communities for academic publishing support. We expect that this session will be useful for academic staff, librarians, and others who work to support graduate students’ learning, and for graduate students seeking to learn more about publishing. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore some of the resources already created as part of this project, and to brainstorm with the research team on how to further integrate these concepts into existing learning supports.
Oltre la Bibbia. Il cinema tra narrazione e redenzione

description: In the Jewish tradition, the Bible is the origin of any possible interpretative and narrative development.
Thus, starting from this statement and in the belief that film is, in its essence, narration and not
representation, the author makes some remarks on the close and intimate relationship among Judaism, Jews
and film, but also on the difficulty that movies have always experienced in the direct confrontation with
the Bible while pretending to “represent it”. Moreover, if the cinema is mainly narrative and creative
development of reality, we have to speak, with Walter Benjamin and Sigfried Kracauer, as for the Seventh art,
about a sort of redemption of reality, in assonance, here again, with some profound and important trends of
Judaism, and especially of the modern Jewish thought.
