title: Hybride Identitäten auf der Suche nach Verwurzelung: "Herkunft" von Saša Stanišić
Creators: name: Pauli, Lisa
Year: 2023

description: Die Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem 2019 erschienenen Roman Herkunft von Saša Stanišić. Der autobiographisch verankerte Roman geht der Frage nach Ver- und Entwurzelung eines jungen Menschen nach, der aufgrund der politischen Umstände – während der Jugoslawienkriege in den 1990er Jahren – gezwungen war, sein Herkunftsland zu verlassen. Das gesellschaftspolitisch hochaktuelle und emotionale Thema Flucht sichert zwar das Überleben des jungen Menschen, die Entwurzelung hat jedoch zur Folge, dass er sich immer in einem gefühlten Dazwischen befindet. Dem Autor gelingt es, dieses Spannungsfeld für Lesende erfahrbar zu machen. Herkunft scheint somit eine fruchtbare Mischung zu sein, die sich aus reflexivem und autofiktionalem Erzählen zusammensetzt. Genau an diesem Punkt setzt das Forschungsinteresse dieser Arbeit an. Es wird untersucht, wie im Roman Herkunft von Verwurzelung, Hybridität, Flucht und gegebenenfalls Trauma erzählt wird. Hierfür wird die Arbeit in zwei Teile gegliedert. Der erste Teil bildet das theoretische Fundament, das aus fünf thematischen Säulen besteht. Zunächst werden die Begrifflichkeiten Migrationsliteratur und Literatur in Bewegung historisch eingeordnet und diskutiert. Im Anschluss folgt ein Überblick über die postkoloniale Theoriebildung mit einem Schwerpunkt auf Homi K. Bhabhas Hybriditätskonzept, das auch kritisch beleuchtet wird. Danach werden Othering-Prozesse und das Programm der Interkultur nach Mark Terkessidis vorgestellt und anschließend der aktuelle Forschungsstand zu Emotionen in der Literatur dargelegt. Eine hierauf folgende selektive Darstellung bestimmter narratologischer Fragen und Konzepte, bildet die methodische Grundlage für den zweiten Teil der Arbeit, der sich mit der Analyse ausgewählter Textstellen beschäftigt. Dabei wird deutlich, dass es Saša Stanišić gelingt, die Suche hybrider Identitäten nach ihrer Verwurzelung für alle Lesenden erfahrbar zu machen und den ersten Zufall der eigenen Biografie, nämlich irgendwo geboren zu werden, selbst zu reflektieren.

description: In direct gauge mediation, gaugino masses often vanish at the leading order of supersymmetry breaking. Recently, this phenomenon is understood in connection with the global structure of vacua in O'Raifeartaigh-type models. In this note, we further explore a connection between gaugino masses and the landscape of vacua in more general situations, focusing on a few examples which demonstrate our idea. In particular, we present a calculable model with non-vanishing leading order gaugino masses on the lowest energy vacuum.

description: Water is essential for all life forms, serving as the fundamental element for biological processes and sustaining ecosystems. Cadmium ions (Cd II) are highly toxic and are often found in industrial effluents, polluting water, soil, and the atmosphere. This study investigates low-rank Pakistani coal (LRPC) as an adsorbent for removing Cd (II) from wastewater. Characterization of LRPC was carried out with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). These techniques demonstrated changes in the adsorbent’s properties after Cd (II) adsorption. Batch adsorption experiments were carried out systematically to study the effects of exposure time, pH, adsorbent mass, temperature, and initial concentration of metal ions. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model, with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.99, best described the adsorption process. 90% removal was achieved within 70 min at pH 5, using 0.5 grams of adsorbent for 10 mL of 8.896 × 10−³ mol/L cadmium solution. The Freundlich adsorption isotherm exhibited the best fit to the adsorption data, with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.99. Thermodynamic analysis indicated that the process was non-spontaneous and endothermic, with a sorption energy of 4.09 kJ/mol suggesting a physisorption mechanism. The impact of foreign ions and desorption was also evaluated. The novelty of this study lies in its exploration of using low-cost LRPC as an effective adsorbent for removing toxic cadmium metal from wastewater. The findings show that coal can be used as an economical and effective biosorbent to remove Cd (II), aiding in environmental cleanup initiatives. Adsorption is an efficient and cost-effective method for removing Cd (II).Low-rank Pakistani coal is a promising adsorbent for Cd (II) removal.Adsorbent characterization, experimental conditions, and adsorbent recovery were investigated.Isotherm models, kinetics, and thermodynamic studies were conducted.The regeneration of low-rank Pakistani coal and Cd (II) was found to be 78%.

description: Astrophysically realistic black holes may have spins that are nearly extremal (i.e., close to 1 in dimensionless units). Numerical simulations of binary black holes are important tools both for calibrating analytical templates for gravitational-wave detection and for exploring the nonlinear dynamics of curved spacetime. However, all previous simulations of binary-black-hole inspiral, merger, and ringdown have been limited by an apparently insurmountable barrier: the merging holes' spins could not exceed 0.93, which is still a long way from the maximum possible value in terms of the physical effects of the spin. In this paper, we surpass this limit for the first time, opening the way to explore numerically the behavior of merging, nearly extremal black holes. Specifically, using an improved initial-data method suitable for binary black holes with nearly extremal spins, we simulate the inspiral (through 12.5 orbits), merger and ringdown of two equal-mass black holes with equal spins of magnitude 0.95 antialigned with the orbital angular momentum.

description: Diese Arbeit ist eine empirische Forschung zu bisexuellen Personen in Österreich. Sie beschäftigt sich mit der Frage wie sie Bisexualität verstehen und welche Bedeutung diese für sie hat. Im Zuge dessen werden auch die persönlichen Erfahrungen, Problematiken und Wünsche im Umgang mit ihrer Sexualität bearbeitet. Für den empirischen Teil wurden problemzentrierte Interviews mit acht Personen aus Österreich geführt. Als weiterer Fokus wird sich die Untersuchung mit den sexuellen Coping- oder Stigma Strategien bisexueller Menschen auseinandersetzen, um besser mit negativen Erfahrungen, Feedback, Kommentaren oder Vorurteilen gegenüber ihrer Identität umzugehen. Als letztes soll der Fokus auf eine andere Ebene gebracht werden und so auf den positiven und empowernden Faktor ihrer Sexualität gelegt werden. Es konnte gesehen werden, dass bisexuelle Personen in Österreich ihre Sexualität als bereichernden, spannenden und positiven Aspekt sehen. Sie empfinden damit eine gewisse Freiheit gegenüber ihrer eigenen Identitätsbildung, eine Freiheit der Wahl lieben zu können und Offenheit gegenüber anderen Menschen. Jedoch konnten auch eine gewisse Unsicherheit, Ambiguität und Ambivalenz seitens ihrer gesellschaftlichen Zugehörigkeit und ihrer Identität gesehen werden.

description: Objective: To determine the rates of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhages (sICH), parenchymal hematoma type 2 (PH2), and favorable outcomes in patients with borderline elevation of international normalized ratio (INR) or recent anticoagulation use prior to treatment with intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (IV rt-PA) for acute ischemic stroke. Methods: Consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke that received IV rt-PA were identified. History of recent use of anticoagulation and the INR at presentation and after use of thrombolytics, up to 72 h was recorded. Neuroimaging and clinical charts were reviewed for evidence of sICH. Outcomes were recorded at the time of discharge and on follow-up up to 6 months using the modified Rankin scale (mRS). Results: A total of 106 patients (mean age was 65.95 ± 15.29 years and 55.67% were men) were identified. Of these, 12 (11.3%) patients had initial INR elevation (1.2–1.7) and 12 (11.3%) patients that had recently received oral anticoagulation. The rate of PH2 was higher in patients on anticoagulation or with elevated initial INR compared to patients with normal INR and no history of anticoagulation (15.79% versus 2.30%, P = 0.023). In subgroup analyses, elevation of INR during the first 24 h and history of recent use of anticoagulation in a different analysis inversely correlated with favorable outcomes at discharge and at follow-up.

description: We demonstrate that magnetic phase separation and competing spin order in the colossal magnetoresistive (CMR) manganites can be directly explored via tuning strain in bulk samples of nanocrystalline La$_{1-x}$Ca$_x$MnO$_3$. Our results show that strain can be reversibly frozen into the lattice in order to stabilize coexisting antiferromagnetic domains within the nominally ferromagnetic metallic state of La$_{5/8}$Ca$_{3/8}$MnO$_3$. The measurement of tunable phase separation via magnetic neutron powder diffraction presents a direct route of exploring the correlated spin properties of phase separated charge/magnetic order in highly strained CMR materials and opens a potential avenue for realizing intergrain spin tunnel junction networks with enhanced CMR behavior in a chemically homogeneous material.

Investigating Golgi retrograde dynamics through the xylan synthase complex in Arabidopsis thaliana
Creators: name: Arnott, Araliya Kenzie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Xylan is a key hemicellulose in the plant secondary cell wall that contributes to structural integrity. As the third most abundant biopolymer in the world, xylan is an environmental cornerstone in woody species, thus it is important to understand the proteins that manufacture xylan. The xylan synthase complex (XSC), the enzymatic complex responsible for manufacture of the xylan backbone, is a group of Golgi resident proteins that maintains its position in the medial to trans-Golgi through unknown Golgi retrograde activity. To evaluate potential models of retrograde activity, two prevalent endomembrane transport systems were investigated: inter- Golgi tubule connections and coat protein 1 (COPI) vesicles. The effect of COPI vesicle inhibition was assessed by measuring secondary cell wall deposition and the growth phenotype of mutants of the small GTPase ARF1, which is required for COPI vesicle recruitment. COPI inhibition did not impact secondary cell wall formation. The drug brefeldin A (BFA) was also used to inhibit COPI vesicle formation, and the effect monitored with live cell imaging, but no change in the xylan biosynthetic enzyme was observed. Golgi resident protein dynamics were also investigated to determine the ability for proteins to move between Golgi stacks. Using a photoconvertible fluorophore, mEos, tagged to a component of the XSC, IRREGULAR XYLEM 9 (IRX9), sub-populations of the protein complex in individual Golgi could be tracked within a single cell. This tracking revealed the ability for resident proteins to move across Golgi stacks through an unknown trafficking method. This research reframes inter-Golgi trafficking models away from COPI and highlights the possibility that xylan biosynthetic enzymes can move between the scattered stacks of the plant Golgi.

description: We perform numerical simulations of large scale structure evolution in an inhomogeneous Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) model of the Universe. We follow the gravitational collapse of a large underdense region (a void) in an otherwise flat matter-dominated Einstein-deSitter model. We observe how the (background) density contrast at the centre of the void grows to be of order one, and show that the density and velocity profiles follow the exact non-linear LTB solution to the full Einstein equations for all but the most extreme voids. This result seems to contradict previous claims that fully relativistic codes are needed to properly handle the non-linear evolution of large scale structures, and that local Newtonian dynamics with an explicit expansion term is not adequate. We also find that the (local) matter density contrast grows with the scale factor in a way analogous to that of an open universe with a value of the matter density OmegaM(r) corresponding to the appropriate location within the void.

description: Virtual Reality Technik kommt immer häufiger zum Einsatz bei besser werdender Zugänglichkeit sowie sinkenden Kosten. Die vorliegende Studie hatte zum Ziel, die Einsatzfähigkeit und Effektivität von Virtual Reality bei stationären Patient*innen mit Alkoholabhängigkeit im Rahmen von einer Reiz-Expositions-Therapie zu untersuchen. Zu diesem Zweck wurden 8 Patient*innen des Anton Proksch Institut Wien in drei Gruppen eingeteilt. Anhand von physiologischen Maßen und subjektiven Einschätzungen des Cravings wurde versucht, die Effektivität von Reiz-Expositions-Therapie in der virtuellen Realität zu untersuchen. Hierbei wurden Teilnehmer*innen welche die Virtual Reality Reizexpositionstherapie selber durchführten, sowie Teilnehmer*innen welche diese Sitzungen auf einem Computerbildschirm verfolgten, mit Teilnehmer*innen der Kontrollgruppe verglichen. Obwohl die Power der Studie zu gering ist um eindeutige Aussagen über die Effektivität der Intervention treffen zu können, so konnten doch einige wertvolle Erkenntnisse zu verschiedenen Virtual Reality Szenarien sowie über die Immersion bei der verwendeten Technik und Software gewonnen werden. Entgegen vorangegangen Studien in denen nie ein Szenario benutzt wurde, welches einen Supermarkt beinhaltet, zeigt diese Erhebung, dass ein Supermarkt für viele Patient*innen eine Hochrisikosituation darstellt. Die zweite wichtige Erkenntnis ist, dass die von uns verwendete Hardware und Software in dieser Studie gute Ergebnisse bei der Immersion erzielen konnten.

description: The Web Ontology Language (OWL) is a Semantic Web standard for a highly expressive network-based knowledge representation and reasoning framework. Unfortunately, the structural complexity of OWL (Figure 1) limits the utility of inductive inference methods, like machine learning and network inference. To address these limitations, we introduce OWL-NETS (NEtwork Transformation for Statistical learning), a novel computational method that reversibly abstracts OWL-encoded biomedical knowledge into a network representation tailored for network inference.

Pathlength dependence of energy loss within in-medium showers

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Studying the pathlength dependence of high P_T hadron suppression in heavy-ion collisions by measuring the dependence of hard hadron production on the angle phi with the reaction plane in non-central collisions has so far been one of the most successful tools in constraining the microscopical picture of leading parton energy loss. With the imminent start of the LHC heavy-ion program and the possibility of full jet reconstruction, the focus has shifted to models which are capable of simulating full in-medium parton showers rather than tracing the leading parton only. Yet, on the level of single inclusive hadron observables, such shower models need to reproduce the findings of leading parton energy loss models, in particular they need to reproduce the correct reaction plane angle dependence of hadron suppression. The aim of this work is to illustrate at the example of the in-medium shower code YaJEM (Yet another Jet Energy-loss Model) how pathlength dependence arises in a MC shower formulation, how it relates to pathlength dependence of leading parton energy loss and how model results compare with data on the reaction plane dependence of the nuclear suppression factor R_AA(phi).

The impact of black/white interracial relationships on identity formation and trust
Creators: name: Adkins, Jennifer
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Interracial relationships are often viewed as indicators of social change. Scholars tend to interpret an increased number of these relationships to be a wider acceptance and integration of racial diversity, and the closing of the racial divide. However, few studies examine how couples respond to the historically based and politically charged social pressures of racial mixing. The purpose of this research is to extend the literature in the subfield by investigating the impact of these pressures and the tools that the couples employ to navigate them. To better understand how interracial couples perceive race and cope with racism, I used purposive sampling to select individuals in Black/White unions from both Vancouver and Toronto, Canada. I conducted two- hour, semi-structured, face-to-face interviews with 37 participants. The results revealed through flexible coding are three-fold. First, after considering the literature on Black identity formation and development, and isolating the responses of the Black participants, the data showed that Black identity is too narrowly depicted and defined. It excludes the many expressions of blackness. The Black participants in this study engaged in restructuring and reframing their identity based on circumstances and experiences. Second, perspective and identity shifts were evident in the White participants. Witnessing racism directed toward their partners and children led them to shift from a white racial frame into a process that I call racial frame convergence. Third, while focusing on the Black/White couple as the unit analysis, I identified processes of racialized trust development and maintenance.

description: We present a finite-temperature theory of the anisotropic spin-spin correlations in magnetic metallic monolayers, deposited on a suitable substrate. The `spins' are the local moments set up by the itinerant electrons, and the key concept is the relativistic disordered local moment state, which represents the paramagnetic state of a set of local moments. The spin-spin correlations between these local moments are then extracted using the linear response formalism. The anisotropy is included in a fully relativistic treatment, based on the Dirac equation, and has a qualitative impact on noncollinear magnetic states, by lifting their chiral degeneracy. The theory is applied to Mn monolayers on the hexagonal (111) surfaces of Pd, Pt, Ag and Au. The presence of competing exchange interactions is highlighted by choosing different substrates, which favour either the row-wise antiferromagnetic state or the chiral triangular Néel state. We correlate the electronic structure with the magnetic properties, by comparing filled with partially filled substrate d--bands, and low vs high atomic number. The disagreement between theory and experiment for Mn$_1$/Ag(111) is addressed, and the nature of the magnetic domains found experimentally is suggested to be chiral.

An investigation of cancer effect on viscoelastic properties of prostate gland via quasi-linear viscoelastic model
Creators: name: Helisaz, Hamed
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Mechanical properties of biological tissues have been shown to vary in the presence of pathological disorders. This dissertation aims to investigate the effect of cancer on the viscoelastic properties of prostate gland. We use the quasi-linear viscoelastic model to characterize the elastic and viscous characteristics of thirty-five fresh prostate glands, removed within two hours of radical prostatectomy surgery. The viscoelastic properties of normal and cancerous prostates are compared to reveal the influence of cancer grade and tumor volume on the elasticity and viscosity of prostate tissue. We first present a novel method for describing the time-dependent behavior of soft materials using one-dimensional quasi-linear viscoelastic model. Our model derives the elastic (Young’s modulus) and viscous (shear relaxation modulus) properties by analyzing the stress response after a sudden uniaxial compression. The model is validated using experimental data on the phantoms that mimic the elasticity of normal and cancerous prostate tissues. The applicability of the model for material characterization is demonstrated by introducing a procedure for obtaining the mechanical properties via indentation test. Using three-dimensional equations and pre-calculated finite element analysis, the procedure introduces a fast and straightforward approach that is superior to inverse finite element methods. We evaluate our procedure by comparing the derived properties with those obtained from uniaxial compression test, where the results show high precision (standard deviation less than 10%) and good accuracy (error less than 20%). Finally, the procedure introduced for material characterization is used to characterize the viscoelastic properties of prostate gland. We test four different locations on fresh, unfixed prostate samples and compare the properties of locations where cancer spreads with those where cancer is not present. Our data-driven results demonstrate that tumor volume increases elastic and viscous properties of prostate with high statistical significance (p-value < 2%), which reflects the potential of using the mechanical properties of prostate as a cancer biomarker. However, the author admits the challenges for realizing an in vivo apparatus to measure the viscoelastic properties of prostate. In fact, in vivo application of the findings requires other considerations that are not discussed here.

description: Observation of top quark flavor changing neutral process $t\to c +γ$ at the LHC would be the signal of physics beyond the Standard Model. If anomalous $t\to cγ$ coupling exists, it will affect the precisely measured $\mathcal{B}(\bar{B} \to X_s γ)$. In this paper, we study the effects of a dimension 5 anomalous $ tc γ$ operator in $\bar{B} \to X_s γ$ decay to derive constraints on its possible strength. It is found that, for real anomalous $t\to cγ$ coupling $κ_{\rm{tcR}}^γ$, the constraints correspond to the upper bounds $\mathcal B (t \to c + γ)<6.54 \times 10^{-5}$ (for $κ_{\rm{tcR}}^γ>0$) and $\mathcal B (t \to c + γ)<8.52 \times 10^{-5}$ (for $κ_{\rm{tcR}}^γ<0$), respectively, which are about the same order as the $5σ$ discovery potential of ATLAS ($9.4\times 10^{-5}$) and slightly lower than that of CMS ($4.1\times 10^{-4}$) with $10 \ \rm{fb}^{-1}$ integrated luminosity operating at $\sqrt{s} =14$ TeV.

We introduce a generalized multiplication which is distributive with respect to the generalized addition of the Tsallis entropy. These operations establish a one-parameter family of field isomorphisms \ $τ_q$ \ between \ $\mathbb{R}$ \ and \ $\mathbb{R}_q$ \ through which an absolute value on \ $\mathbb{R}_q$ \ is introduced. This turns out to be a quasisymmetric map, whose metric and measure-theoretical implications are pointed out.

description: The vibrations of a collection of ions in a microtrap array can be described in terms of hopping phonons. We show theoretically that the vibrational couplings may be tailored by using a gradient of the microtrap frequencies, together with a periodic driving of the trapping potential. These ingredients allow us to induce effective gauge fields on the vibrational excitations, such that phonons mimic the behavior of charged particles in a magnetic field. In particular, microtrap arrays are ideally suited to realize the famous Aharonov-Bohm effect, and observe the paradigmatic edge states typical from quantum-Hall samples and topological insulators.

description: This report (Deliverable D2.5) refers to URBANWASTE Work Package 2, Task 2.6. Within this deliverable the present situation of waste management in the selected pilot cases ("the baseline") is described. Main goal of the task is the quantification of the status quo with respect to tourist waste production and to the total urban production of waste in the pilot cities before the implementation of the URBANWASTE strategies (developed in WP 4). The actual waste generation and treatment of each pilot case also considering spatial data is described and an assessment of environmental, social and economic impacts is performed.

Further, the results of this work package serve as a basis for further decision-making. The output of this status quo assessment shall assist the decision making process within WP 4 to set specific targets for each pilot case. It shall support the development of strategies in waste prevention and management policies within WP 4. Selected waste prevention and management measures will be implemented in each pilot case within WP6 and they will be subsequently assessed within WP 7 aiming at displaying improvements (reduced impacts by implementing innovative waste management strategies in touristic processes).

The database of the selected pilot cases (Copenhagen, Dubrovnik, Florence, Kavala, Lisbon, Nice, Nicosia, Ponta Delgada, Syracuse, Tenerife) generated within Task 2.5 is critically reviewed, inconsistencies are clarified and missing data are included. The database is assessed by a benchmarking process with three cities (Berlin, Vienna, Zurich) providing reliable waste management data and showing best-practice examples in waste prevention and management. This comparison allowed a plausibility check of the background data and indicator sets.

Based on the results of the analysis of the database, differences and similarities regarding the material, waste and energy flows, touristic processes and background conditions of the selected pilot cities are described.

The last aspect in this report is the general evaluation of touristic impact on waste generation. The evaluation of the environmental impacts of waste management practise in selected pilot cities is carried out by using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). This gives the possibility to figure out on the one hand hotspots of environmental impacts and on the other hand, to identify the most promising waste prevention and recycling measures in terms of environmental impacts resulting from tourist waste.

description: We set up an infrared-based moment problem to obtain estimates of the masses of the scalar, pseudoscalar and tensor glueballs in Euclidean Yang-Mills theories using the Refined Gribov-Zwanziger (RGZ) version of the Landau gauge, which takes into account nonperturbative physics related to gauge copies. Employing lattice input for the mass scales of the RGZ gluon propagator, the lowest order moment problem approximation gives the values m_{0++}\approx 1.96 GeV, m_{2++} \approx 2.04 GeV and m_{0-+}\approx 2.19 GeV in the SU(3) case, all within a 20% range of the corresponding lattice values. We also recover the mass hierarchy m_{0++}

Toward understanding and improving the user experience with smartphone physical security
Creators: name: Mehrabi Koushki, Masoud
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The incumbent physical security system on smartphones is known to dissatisfy users. It comprises explicit authentication (e.g., passcode), which imposes high time and cognitive overhead, and all-or-nothing authorization, which limits flexibility. Consequently, an estimated 20% of users have decided to forgo physical security entirely. In response, alternative solutions have been proposed by researchers. These include implicit authentication (IA) solutions, which harnesses behavioural data for user identification, and finer-grain (e.g., app-level) authorization solutions, which are more accurate. However, several important aspects of these alternatives are understudied. Firstly, it is unclear how widely users would adopt IA, and whether they can understand its semantics well enough to avoid dangerous security errors when using it. Secondly, it is unknown how well can the proposed authorization schemes balance usability with security. These unknowns bring into question whether the alternatives can, in fact, improve the user experience (UX) or, conversely, disservice users by providing a false sense of security. This dissertation contributes insights from several studies that aim at bridging these knowledge gaps. Regarding IA, we took Smart Lock (SL)—currently the most-widely-available solution—as a case. We conducted cognitive walkthroughs, think-aloud sessions, and online surveys to understand how users perceive and understand SL. Regarding authorization, we conducted a longitudinal diary study to obtain a detailed view on users’ needs and how well existing solutions meet them. Results show that SL is not widely adopted, which correlates to its perceived lack of usefulness and security. Regarding semantics, we found users often confused about IA’s capabilities and the nature of the data it harnesses. To avoid these issues, we provide UX design recommendations for better communication of the value and intricacies of IA. Regarding authorization, we found app-level schemes to outperform other solutions; hence we argue for wider deployment of them. However, we also found that users’ needs vary significantly based on individual preferences and the functionality being protected; hence we argue for adaptable granularity in authorization. Overall, our studies demonstrate the inadequacy of the incumbent system, show how current deployment of alternatives potentially disserves users, and provide recommendations for improved deployment in the future.

description: Abstract: Negative birth experiences can lead to symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder in new mothers but have received much less attention in new fathers. A sample of 314 first-time expectant couples rated their symptoms of anxiety and depression in the third trimester and at 4-month post birth (227 vaginal delivery, 87 caesarean section), when they also completed the emotional memories subscale of the BirthMARQ (Foley et al. BMC Pregnancy Childbirth, 14, 211, 2014). We first examined mode of delivery (vaginal birth versus caesarean section) as a predictor of mothers’ and fathers’ BirthMARQ scores. Next, we used actor-partner interdependence model (APIM) to investigate intra- and interpersonal associations between birth experiences and maternal/paternal latent factors for antenatal and postnatal depression/anxiety. Reports of negative birth experiences were more common for mothers than fathers and for parents of babies born by caesarean section than by vaginal delivery. Within-couple agreement was moderately strong and, for both parents at both time-points, individual differences in negative birth memories were associated with symptoms of depression and anxiety. Negative birth memories also played a mediating role in the association between birth via caesarean section and reduced postnatal maternal wellbeing. Given the striking similarities between mothers and fathers in links between birth experiences and wellbeing, our findings highlight the need for partner-inclusive intervention strategies.
Bulk and Surface Nanoscale Hole Density Inhomogeneity in HgBa$_2$CuO$_{4+δ}$ and Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+δ}$ Cuprates

description: It is well established that the hole density in the prototypical superconductor La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ is very inhomogeneous due to Sr-dopant induced disorder. On the other hand, until recently it is widely believed that the hole distribution in HgBa$_2$CuO$_{4+δ}$ and Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+δ}$ doped by interstitial oxygen is much more uniform. Recent nuclear magnetic resonance measurements indicate, however, that the charge inhomogeneity in HgBa$_2$CuO$_{4+δ}$ is close to that in La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$. Calculations performed in the present paper confirm this observation. We also show that the charge inhomogeneity is most pronounced at the surface layer that can be probed by scanning tunneling microscope. Our simulations demonstrate that, despite having similar amplitudes of charge inhomogeneity, the hole mean free path in HgBa$_2$CuO$_{4+δ}$ is substantially longer than that in La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$. The screening of Coulomb repulsion in HgBa$_2$CuO$_{4+δ}$ is also stronger. These two reasons might explain the difference in superconducting critical temperatures between these two compounds.

description: We show that N=(2,2) SU(N) super Yang-Mills theory on lattice does not have sign problem in the continuum limit, that is, under the phase-quenched simulation phase of the determinant localizes to 1 and hence the phase-quench approximation becomes exact. Among several formulations, we study models by Cohen-Kaplan-Katz-Unsal (CKKU) and by Sugino. We confirm that the sign problem is absent in both models and that they converge to the identical continuum limit without fine tuning. We provide a simple explanation why previous works by other authors, which claim an existence of the sign problem, do not capture the continuum physics.
