description: It is of great theoretical and practical significance to determine the vertical infiltration recharge of groundwater by Bromide tracer technology, which reveals the spatial variation rule of groundwater recharge and improves the theory and method of groundwater resource evaluation. Bromide was used as tracer in Weishan Irrigated District to determine the groundwater recharge as well as to evaluate the impacts of different irrigation basin location, irrigation regime and crop types on the recharge. The comprehensive recharge coefficient and the Kringing Spatial Interpolation methods were used to distinguish the effects of precipitation and surface water irrigation on groundwater recharge rate. The results showed that the recharge rates ranged from 85.8 to 243 mm/a, with an average of 168 mm/a; the average recharge rate in the upstream district was greater than that in the downstream; the average recharge rate of irrigated land (193 mm/a) is greater than that of non-irrigated land (110 mm/a). The recharge rate of winter wheat-summer maize and cotton fields with irrigation was 210 mm/a and 140 mm/a, respectively while it was 115 mm/a and 94.1 mm/a under no irrigation conditions. The comprehensive recharge coefficient of groundwater in the upstream irrigation area was larger than that in the downstream. By comparing the spatial distribution of groundwater level and comprehensive recharge coefficient, it was found that there was an inverse relationship between the groundwater level and the comprehensive recharge coefficient.

Cypriot Greek Down syndrome : their grammar and its interfaces
Creators: name: Christodoulou, Christa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This dissertation investigates the linguistic performance of 16 Cypriot Greek individuals diagnosed with Down Syndrome (henceforth, CGDS), aged 19;0 to 45;11, and compares their performance to 17 Cypriot Greek Typically Developing Children (hereafter, CGTDC), aged 7;0 to 8;11. Three hypotheses were tested to determine whether the differences between the two groups, as well as the Grammar of Cypriot Greek adults with typical development (henceforth, CGTD) were: (i) syntactically, (ii) morphologically, or (iii) phonetically and phonologically conditioned. When consulting previous research, a number of shortcomings were observed. Therefore, an innovative methodology was employed to address these issues. Contrary to previous research, which argues for an overall inflectional impairment (either syntactically or morphologically conditioned), this dissertation establishes that the vast majority of differences between the two groups are phonetically conditioned. These differences are due to the distinct physiology of the articulation apparatus in CGDS. Furthermore, a small number of phonologically conditioned differences were either due to (i) the phonological environment (syllable structure and word-position) or (ii) phonological feature underspecification. However, there is also a very small residue of differences that are morphologically conditioned. When a produced feature value does not match the target, CGDS and CGTDC exhibit the same three strategies: (i) use of an alternative feature value (as the default) to the targeted one, (ii) affix drop and (iii) full-word omission. I propose a unified analysis, according to which the morphological differences between CGDS, CGTDC and CGTD are due to a failure of Blocking. The competition between a phonetic exponent that includes (i) all feature values resulting from the syntactic derivation, and (ii) a subset of the features, but no contrasting features, fails to be resolved in favour of the most specified form. I further propose that this may be extended to phonological features. Finally, I propose that full-word and phoneme omissions suggest a problem with vocabulary or sound insertion, which may be rooted in phonological and verbal short-term memory limitations. In sum, I argue that the adult CGDS Grammar is not an impaired version of the adult CGTD Grammar.
Straightening the Density-Displacement Relation with a Logarithmic Transform

description: We investigate the use of a logarithmic density variable in estimating the Lagrangian displacement field, motivated by the success of a logarithmic transformation in restoring information to the matter power spectrum. The logarithmic relation is an extension of the linear relation, motivated by the continuity equation, in which the density field is assumed to be proportional to the divergence of the displacement field; we compare the linear and logarithmic relations by measuring both of these fields directly in a cosmological N-body simulation. The relative success of the logarithmic and linear relations depends on the scale at which the density field is smoothed. Thus we explore several ways of measuring the density field, including Cloud-In-Cell smoothing, adaptive smoothing, and the (scale-independent) Delaunay tessellation, and we use both a Fourier space and a geometrical tessellation approach to measuring the divergence. We find that the relation between the divergence of the displacement field and the density is significantly tighter with a logarithmic density variable, especially at low redshifts and for very small (~2 Mpc/h) smoothing scales. We find that the grid-based methods are more reliable than the tessellation-based method of calculating both the density and the divergence fields, though in both cases the logarithmic relation works better in the appropriate regime, which corresponds to nonlinear scales for the grid-based methods and low densities for the tessellation-based method.

description: Objective
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression are common after evaluation for suspected acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and are associated with poor prognosis. However, it is unclear whether patients discharged after suspected ACS access treatments for subsequent psychological distress. We examined self-reported rates of receiving psychotherapy and/or medication for psychological distress in patients one month after a suspected ACS event.

Methods
A sample of 448 adults (age 60.4 ± 12.5; 47.8% female; 52.7% Hispanic, 32.1% Black) presenting to the emergency department with suspected ACS were recruited for the REactions to Acute Care and Hospitalization (REACH) study, an ongoing cohort study of medical and psychological outcomes after ACS evaluation. Socio-demographics and depressive symptoms were assessed in-hospital, and PTSD symptoms related to the suspected ACS event were queried via phone one month after enrollment. Participants also indicated whether they received either medication or counseling to deal with their emotions and coping after their heart problem.

Results
Approximately 15% (n = 68) of the sample reported receiving some form of treatment. Treatment rate did not differ significantly as a function of demographics, ACS status, or insurance coverage, ps > 0.1. Over a quarter of participants (25.3%) who screened positive for PTSD and/or depression reported receiving treatment. Participants with PTSD and depression had a higher treatment rate (47.6%) vs. those with only depression (12.8%) or PTSD (30%) or no psychopathology (10.3%).

Conclusion
Findings suggest that 1 in 4 patients who screened positive for PTSD and/or depression reported receiving counseling or medication in the first month after a suspected ACS event.

International civil liability regimes for nuclear, oil transport and industrial activities
Creators: name: Mihai, Elena
Publisher: name: Law
Year: 2010

description: Bibliography: p. 201-218
description: This thesis is concerned with international liability for transboundary consequences arising out of acts not prohibited by international law. Specifically, it considers three civil liability regimes: nuclear liability, oil transport and industrial accidents with consequences for transboundary waters. It explores whether the development of civil liability regimes regulating particular hazardous activities is the appropriate solution to ensure the fulfillment of the duty to prevent harm and the duty to compensate. It also explores whether the three civil liability regimes have changed over the years to provide broader protection and more adequate compensation for the victims of an accident. The thesis concludes that the development of civil particular liability regimes serves two aims: to allow risky but socially important activities to continue and to provide compensation to those who suffer harm. Some elements of these aims are only partially fulfilled. The obligations of prevention and compensation are not equally emphasized and in particular, the three liability regimes are more concerned with compensation for damage after an accident than with preventing it. The liability regimes have changed over the years to bring levels of compensation in line with the damages suffered. However, aspects of damage remain uncompensated. Thus these three civil liability regimes do not totally implement the "polluter pays" principle.
Methodology and theory for partial least squares applied to functional data

Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)

description: The partial least squares procedure was originally developed to estimate the slope parameter in multivariate parametric models. More recently it has gained popularity in the functional data literature. There, the partial least squares estimator of slope is either used to construct linear predictive models, or as a tool to project the data onto a one-dimensional quantity that is employed for further statistical analysis. Although the partial least squares approach is often viewed as an attractive alternative to projections onto the principal component basis, its properties are less well known than those of the latter, mainly because of its iterative nature. We develop an explicit formulation of partial least squares for functional data, which leads to insightful results and motivates new theory, demonstrating consistency and establishing convergence rates.

description: We analyze the operational meaning of the residual entanglement in non-inertial fermionic systems in terms of the achievable violation of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality. We demonstrate that the quantum correlations of fermions, which were previously found to survive in the infinite acceleration limit, cannot be considered to be non-local. The entanglement shared by an inertial and an accelerated observer cannot be utilized for the violation of the CHSH inequality in case of high accelerations. Our results are shown to extend beyond the single mode approximation commonly used in the literature.

description: We analyze the possibility to rewrite the action of Horava-Witten theory in a BPS-like form, which means that it is given as a sum of squares of the supersymmetry conditions. To this end we compactify the theory on a seven dimensional manifold of SU(3) structure and rewrite the scalar curvature of the compactification manifold in terms of the SU(3) structure forms. This shows that a BPS-like form cannot be obtained in general, but only for certain types of compactifications.

title: A Spatial Model of Bank Branches in Canada

Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2020

description: This study explores the market structure of the Canadian banking industry at the postal-code level. In particular, we study the effect of geographic and industrial concentration on the density of bank branches. Our analysis makes use of a novel dataset of bank branch locations across Canada over the period 2008 to 2018.

We employ a spatial panel model with two-way fixed effects that accounts for spatial spillovers across adjacent postal codes. This encompassing model allows us to disentangle the effect of market structure from spillovers in adjacent regions.

Our main finding is that market structure is not correlated with the density of bank branches. However, we do find that branch density is significantly correlated with socioeconomic characteristics of the postal code. We also find that the big five banks tend to avoid markets dominated by smaller banks and credit unions. Similarly, smaller banks and credit unions avoid markets with a high concentration of the big five banks.

description: Dans cette étude, nous analysons la structure de marché du secteur bancaire canadien à l’échelle des codes postaux. Plus particulièrement, nous étudions l’effet de la concentration géographique et industrielle sur la densité des succursales bancaires. Notre analyse se sert d’un nouvel ensemble de données sur l’emplacement des succursales au Canada, qui couvre la période de 2008 à 2018.

Nous employons un modèle de panel spatial à effets fixes à deux voies qui tient compte des retombées sur les zones de code postal adjacentes. Ce modèle englobant nous permet de dissocier les effets de la structure de marché sur une région en particulier de ses retombées sur les régions adjacentes.

Notre principale conclusion est que la structure de marché et la densité des succursales bancaires ne sont pas corrélées. Toutefois, nous constatons que la densité des succursales est fortement corrélée aux caractéristiques socioéconomiques d’un territoire de code postal. Nous notons également que les cinq grandes banques ont tendance à éviter les marchés qui sont dominés par les petites banques et les coopératives de crédit. De la même façon, les petites banques et les coopératives de crédit évitent les marchés où les cinq grandes banques sont très présentes.

description: Groundwater-surface water interactions were studied at Mishak Lakes and Blanca Wetlands, ephemeral wetlands located in the arid San Luis Valley of Colorado. Hydraulic conductivities and hydraulic gradients along with major ion chemistry and stable isotope composition of ground and surface water were determined. At Mishak Lakes, groundwater mounding occurs beneath the basins despite the presence of a laterally consistent low permeability layer, suggesting that recharge occurs through macropores. Isotope enrichment between sampling rounds was used to estimate recharge at approximately 51% of total surface water volume loss. The recharge rate has been estimated to be 4.3 mm/day. The estimated evaporation rate over the same time was estimated at 4.1 mm/day. At Blanca Wetlands, higher elevation basins receive a nearly constant supply of water, and recharge creates a locally high water table equal to the elevation to surface water near the basin margins. Isotope data indicates that recharge primarily occurs below the higher basins. As surface water flows into lower elevation basins more distant from the source, chloride replaces bicarbonate as the dominant anion, resulting in salt precipitation as the basins evaporate to completion.

description: Objectives

To determine factors associated with SRH among migrant workers in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

Methods

In 2007, 805 vendors were screened. Approximately half were eligible (n =450), defined as at least 18 years old, a worker/owner in a randomly selected stall, having traveled 2 + hours outside of Almaty within the past year, and being an internal/external migrant. 28 non-migrants were excluded, leaving 422 participants. Logistic regression was used to examine the relationship between SRH, mental health, and psychosocial problems.

Results

Approximately 46% reported having poor or fair SRH. Clinical depression (OR 0.859, 95% CI 0.342–2.154), alcohol problems (OR 1.169, 95% CI 0.527–2.593), and legal status (OR 0.995, 95% CI 0.806–1.229) were not significantly associated with SRH, nor was exposure to interpersonal violence among women (OR 1.554, 95% CI 0.703–3.435). After adjusting for key variables, only ethnicity and social support were found to be significantly protective against poor or fair SRH.

Conclusions

SRH was not a comprehensive health measure for these Central Asian migrant workers. More specific questions are needed to identify mental illness and interpersonal violence.

description: For assessing energy-related activities in the subsurface, it is important to investigate the impact of the spatial variability and anisotropy on the geomechanical behavior of shale. The Brazilian test, an indirect tensile-splitting method, is performed in this work, and the evolution of strain field is obtained using digital image correlation. Experimental results show the significant impact of local heterogeneity and lamination on the crack pattern characteristics. For numerical simulations, a phase field method is used to simulate the brittle fracture behavior under various Brazilian test conditions. In this study, shale is assumed to consist of two constituents including the stiff and soft layers to which the same toughness but different elastic moduli are assigned. Microstructural heterogeneity is simplified to represent mesoscale (e.g., millimeter scale) features such as layer orientation, thickness, volume fraction, and defects. The effect of these structural attributes on the onset, propagation, and coalescence of cracks is explored. The simulation results show that spatial heterogeneity and material anisotropy highly affect crack patterns and effective fracture toughness, and the elastic contrast of two constituents significantly alters the effective toughness. However, the complex crack patterns observed in the experiments cannot completely be accounted for by either an isotropic or transversely isotropic effective medium approach. This implies that cracks developed in the layered system may coalesce in complicated ways depending on the local heterogeneity, and the interaction mechanisms between the cracks using two-constituent systems may explain the wide range of effective toughness of shale reported in the literature.
A Hybrid Magnetically/Thermally-Driven Wind in the Black Hole GRO J1655-40?

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: During its 2005 outburst, GRO J1655-40 was observed twice with the Chandra High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer; the second observation revealed a spectrum rich with ionized absorption lines from elements ranging from O to Ni (Miller et al. 2006a, 2008; Kallman et al. 2009), indicative of an outflow too dense and too ionized to be driven by radiation or thermal pressure. To date, this spectrum is the only definitive evidence of an ionized wind driven off the accretion disk by magnetic processes in a black hole X-ray binary. Here we present our detailed spectral analysis of the first Chandra observation, nearly three weeks earlier, in which the only signature of the wind is the Fe XXVI absorption line. Comparing the broadband X-ray spectra via photoionization models, we argue that the differences in the Chandra spectra cannot possibly be explained by the changes in the ionizing spectrum, which implies that the properties of the wind cannot be constant throughout the outburst. We explore physical scenarios for the changes in the wind, which we suggest may begin as a hybrid MHD/thermal wind, but evolves over the course of weeks into two distinct outflows with different properties. We discuss the implications of our results for the links between the state of the accretion flow and the presence of transient disk winds.

Trogaspidia nasifera n.sp.: BISCHOFF 1920: 362 (key ♂), 451 (descr. ♂, Djibouti).
Trogaspidia (Trogaspidia) nasifera (BISCHOFF, 1920): NONVEILLER 1995: 358 (Djibouti, not Eritrea), 361 (tax., cat. Afr. reg.).
D i s t r i b u t i o n: Djibouti.
Trogaspidia nasifera is only known from Djibouti. NONVEILLER (1995: 358) listed this species also under the subgenus Chilotropidia. This is probably a printing error, because BISCHOFF (1920: 451) compared it with Trogaspidia divisa klugiana André, which is a synonym of Trogaspidia floralis (KLUG, 1829). Furthermore NONVEILLER (1973: 113 under Trispillotilla senegalensis) mistook Djibouti for Eritrea. Therefore Trogaspidia nasifera is only known from Djibouti.

description: We develop a full theoretical analysis of the nonlinear interactions of the two polarizations of a waveguide by means of a vectorial model of pulse propagation which applies to high index subwavelength waveguides. In such waveguides there is an anisotropy in the nonlinear behavior of the two polarizations that originates entirely from the waveguide structure, and leads to switching properties. We determine the stability properties of the steady state solutions by means of a Lagrangian formulation. We find all static solutions of the nonlinear system, including those that are periodic with respect to the optical fiber length as well as nonperiodic soliton solutions, and analyze these solutions by means of a Hamiltonian formulation. We discuss in particular the switching solutions which lie near the unstable steady states, since they lead to self-polarization flipping which can in principle be employed to construct fast optical switches and optical logic gates.

description: The objective of this study was to develop a methodology to generate high accuracy soil salinity maps with the minimum number of soil salinity samples. Variograms are used in this study to estimate the number of soil salinity samples that need to be collected. A modified residual kriging model was used to evaluate the relationship between soil salinity and a number of satellite images. Two datasets, one representing corn fields where Aster, Landsat 7, and Ikonos images were used, and the other representing alfalfa fields where the Landsat 5 and Ikonos images were used. The satellite images were acquired from different sources to check the correlation between measured soil salinity and remote sensing data. Two strategies were applied to the datasets to produce subset samples. For the corn fields dataset, nine subsets of the data ranging from 10% to 90% of the data in 10% increments were produced. For the alfalfa fields dataset, three subsets of the data 75 %, 50%, and 25% of the data were produced. A modified residual kriging model was applied to the reduced datasets for each image. For each combination of satellite image and subset of the data, a variogram was generated and the correlation between soil salinity and the remote sensing data was evaluated. The results show that the variograms can be used to significantly reduce the number of soil salinity samples that need to be collected.

Universal and efficient compressed sensing by spread spectrum and application to realistic Fourier imaging techniques

description: We advocate a compressed sensing strategy that consists of multiplying the signal of interest by a wide bandwidth modulation before projection onto randomly selected vectors of an orthonormal basis. Firstly, in a digital setting with random modulation, considering a whole class of sensing bases including the Fourier basis, we prove that the technique is universal in the sense that the required number of measurements for accurate recovery is optimal and independent of the sparsity basis. This universality stems from a drastic decrease of coherence between the sparsity and the sensing bases, which for a Fourier sensing basis relates to a spread of the original signal spectrum by the modulation (hence the name "spread spectrum"). The approach is also efficient as sensing matrices with fast matrix multiplication algorithms can be used, in particular in the case of Fourier measurements. Secondly, these results are confirmed by a numerical analysis of the phase transition of the l1- minimization problem. Finally, we show that the spread spectrum technique remains effective in an analog setting with chirp modulation for application to realistic Fourier imaging. We illustrate these findings in the context of radio interferometry and magnetic resonance imaging.

description: As the global burden of cardiovascular disease continues to increase worldwide, nurturing the development of early-career cardiologists interested in global health is essential to create a cadre of providers with the skill set to prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases in international settings. As such, interest in global health has increased among cardiology trainees and early-career cardiologists over the past decade. International clinical and research experiences abroad present an additional opportunity for growth and development beyond traditional cardiovascular training. We describe the American College of Cardiology International Cardiovascular Exchange Database, a new resource for cardiologists interested in pursuing short-term clinical exchange opportunities abroad, and report some of the benefits and challenges of global health cardiovascular training in both resource-limited and resource-abundant settings.
