Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A general quantum many-body theory in configuration space is developed by extending the traditional coupled cluter method (CCM) to a variational formalism. Two independent sets of distribution functions are introduced to evaluate the Hamiltonian expectation. An algebraic technique for calculating these distribution functions via two self-consistent sets of equations is given. By comparing with the traditional CCM and with Arponen's extension, it is shown that the former is equivalent to a linear approximation to one set of distribution functions and the later is equivalent to a random-phase approximation to it. In additional to these two approximations, other higher-order approximation schemes within the new formalism are also discussed. As a demonstration, we apply this technique to a quantum antiferromagnetic spin model.

Accretion Processes On a Black Hole

description: We describe astrophysical processes around a black hole keeping primarily the physics of accretion in mind. In Section 1, we briefly discuss the formation, evolution and detection of black holes. We also discuss the difference of flow properties around a black hole and a Newtonian star. In Section 2, we present past and present developments in the study of spherically accreting flows. We study the properties of Bondi flow with and without radiative transfer. In the presence of significant angular momentum, which is especially true in a binary system, matter will be accreted as a thin Keplerian disk. In Section 3, we discuss a large number of models of these disks including the more popular standard disk model. We present magnetized disk models as well. Since the angular momentum is high in these systems, rotational motion is the most dominant component compared to the radial or the vertical velocity components. In Section 4, we study thick disk models which are of low angular momentum but still have no significant radial motion. The accretion rates could be very high causing the flow to become radiation dominated and the disk to be geometrically thick. For low accretion rates, ion pressure supported disks are formed. In Section 5, we extensively discuss the properties of transonic flows which has with sub-Keplerian angular momentum. In the absence of shock discontinuities, these sub-Keplerian flows are basically advecting, similar to Bondi flows, close to the black holes, though far away they match Keplerian or sub-Keplerian disks. In presence of shocks, the post-shock flow becomes rotation dominated similar to thick disks. In Section 6, we present results of important numerical simulations of accretion flows. Significant results from the studies of evolution of viscous transonic flows are reported. In Section 7, we discuss some observational evidences of the black hole accretion. We also present a detailed model of a generalized accretion disk and present its spectra and compare with observations. In Section 8, we summarize the review and make concluding remarks.

description: We introduce an $A_\infty$ map from the cubical chain complex of the based loop space of Lagrangian submanifolds with Legendrian boundary in a Liouville Manifold $C_{*}(\Omega_{L} \Lag)$ to wrapped Floer cohomology of Lagrangian submanifold $\CW^{-*}(L,L)$. In the case of a cotangent bundle and a Lagrangian co-fiber, the composition of our map with the map from $\CW^{-*}(L,L) \to C_{*}(\Omega_q Q) $ as defined in \cite{Ab12} shows that this map is split surjective.
Using music to teach mine reclamation

description: This paper describes a new approach in teaching mine reclamation to mining engineering students. It aims to develop a more effective way to foster a full understanding of reclamation issues and commitment to best practices amongst our mining industry's next generation of leaders. The paper describes motivational and attitudinal challenges experienced in teaching mine reclamation. A new relationship can be established between an instructor and a class using a musical or entertaining approach. This can very effectively start to build foundations for dealing with what for many students is a new paradigm of environmental stewardship and social responsibility. Survey responses from fifty students enrolled in a University of British Columbia course, Mining and the Environment (MINE 391), along with observations of educators involved in delivery of this course, indicate incorporation of music in this setting significantly enhanced the exploration of lecture topics and the learning environment. Student responses also indicate future use of music should be included as a teaching strategy, and overall, the incorporation of composing music in the classroom setting has been strongly recommended. This paper highlights specific musical teaching strategies used to assist in delivery of topics related to environmental and social impacts associated with mining reclamation.
On a Path Toward International Recognition: Physician-Assisted Suicide as an Emerging Human Rights Norm

Assisted suicide--Law and legislation
Normativity (Ethics)

description: Physician-assisted suicide is a form of end-of-life care wherein a doctor provides a lethal dose of medication for a patient to use of his or her own volition, which has become increasingly legalized since 1994. This trend in legalization, the convincing human rights-based arguments in favor of physician-assisted suicide, and the comportment of the practice with existing international human rights law and norms leads to two core claims. First, I argue that access to physician-assisted suicide is itself a right even though it is not codified in any treaty because it is an emerging norm. Second, based on an observed trend toward accelerated legalization in increasing numbers states, and because of trends in public opinion around this issue and related topics such as political and religious affiliation, I foresee that legalization will continue apace, and accelerate in the coming decades, solidifying physician-assisted suicide as an internationally protected human right. The central contribution of this work is extending the existing human rights argument for physician-assisted to make the stronger claim that physician-assisted suicide is a right, and to predict the future of legalization and norm-creation around this form of end-of life care.
On Whose Terms? Understanding the Global Expansion of National Oil Companies

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Political science
subject: FOS: Political science

description: National oil companies (NOCs) have evolved beyond vestiges of an era of resource nationalism and assumed an international presence. Given that NOCs are generally inefficient entities, why do some governments, more than others, allow their national oil companies to make expensive and often risky investments abroad? Instead of directly refuting neorealism or liberalism, I seek to shift the debate towards problems of governance in the energy sector. While agreeing that geopolitical rationales matter, I posit that they serve as political cover for NOCs pursuing their own expansion. While sharing the liberal emphasis on institutional checks, I anticipate how they may be overcome by strategic NOCs determined to secure support for their investments. I argue that the willingness of governments to restrain NOC investments depends on the presence of veto players, whereas their ability to do so depends on the organization of the energy sector. When the energy sector is governed by multiple entities with overlapping jurisdictions, NOCs can exploit coordination problems among them to escape scrutiny for their investments. This weakness is particularly acute in countries without an overarching energy ministry, where energy policy is implemented by informal bargaining among a multiplicity of ministries and agencies. I test this argument quantitatively and explore the underlying mechanisms through case studies of China, India, Russia, Brazil, and Norway.

 VERBATIM TYPE LOCALITY: “ Hab. Damara-Land. ”
 CURRENT STATUS: Emarginata schlegelii schlegelii (Wahlberg, 1855); Muscicapidae (Dickinson & Christidis 2014: 609)
TYPE MATERIAL: Wahlberg’s (1855: 213) description gives no information on how many specimens he had at hand. From Sundevall’s manuscript catalogues it is apparent that the description was probably based on a single specimen—at least, only one specimen seems to have been sent to Sweden. The holotype, NRM 558942 [11695], is a study skin of an adult male collected 14 August 1854 at the Onanis River.
VERIFIED TYPE LOCALITY: Onanis River, Namibia.
COMMENTS: There is no entry in the journal for this date and place. Wahlberg collected a number of specimens in August 1854. The localities on labels are interspersed with Onanis and Swakop rivers. Specimens collected from 14–19 August are labelled Onanis River, so the TL can be confirmed as correct.

Subjects: subject: Mathematics
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Spectral bounds on Maass forms of congruence families in algebraic groups are important ingredients to proving almost prime results for these groups. Extending the work of Gamburd [Gamburd, 2002] and Magee [Magee, 2013], we produce a condition under which such a bound exists in congruence subgroup families of SL(3,Z), uniformly and even when these groups are thin, i.e. of infinite index. The condition is analogous to the cusp and collar lemmas in Gamburd's work and is expected to hold for families whose Hausdorff dimension of the limit set is large enough.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This deliverable describes a numerical simulation of the global ocean state. This simulation has been run for over 1500 model years, so that ocean currents and seawater properties have reached a quasi-steady state. This equilibrated model ocean state is meant to be as close as possible to the real ocean state in the 1990s. We show that key features of this model ocean are indeed in good agreement with observations. We also present a methodology to subject this model ocean to perturbations in Antarctic freshwater fluxes. Finally, we introduce purposeful tracers in the model to analyse the spreading and impacts on ocean ventilation of anomalous freshwater fluxes from the Antarctic ice sheet.

description: Using the n-particle periodic Toda lattice and the relativistic generalization due to Ruijsenaars of the elliptic Calogero-Moser system as examples, we revise the basic properties of the Baecklund transformations (BT's) from the Hamiltonian point of view. The analogy between BT and Baxter's quantum Q-operator pointed out by Pasquier and Gaudin is exploited to produce a conjugated variable mu for the parameter lambda of the BT B_lambda such that mu belongs to the spectrum of the Lax operator L(lambda). As a consequence, the generating function of the composition of n BT's gives rise also to another canonical transformation separating variables for the model. For the Toda lattice the dual BT parametrized by mu is introduced.

Emarginata tractrac albicans (wahlberg, 1855)

description: Saxicola albicans Wahlberg, 1855: 213.
 VERBATIM TYPE LOCALITY: “ In locis arenosis terrae Damararum, plerumque in fruticibus parvis insidens, vel in terra, fere semper per paria, vivit. ”
 CURRENT STATUS: Emarginata tractrac albicans (Wahlberg, 1855); Muscicapidae (Dickinson & Christidis 2014: 609–610).
TYPE MATERIAL: It is evident from the type description that Wahlberg (1855: 213) had access to both males and females. According to Sundevall’s manuscript catalogues at least seven syntypes were received from South Africa after Wahlberg’s death. Gyldenstolpe (1926: 56) referred to NRM 90189969 [11698] as a “type”; we treat this as a lectotype designation of this adult male collected 20 November 1854 in Walvis Bay. The six known paralectotypes are: NRM 90189970 [11700], an adult female collected 4 July 1854 at Kuiseb River; NRM 90189972 [11699], an adult male collected 26 June 1854 at Kuiseb River; NRM 538726 [11701], a mounted female collected 9 November 1854 near Rooibank; NRM 90189971 [11702], an adult female collected 25 June 1854 at Kuiseb River; UMB 4481 [11696], a male, collecting data unknown, sent on exchange to Bremen in 1858; and a male [11697], collected 20 November 1854 near Rooibank, sent on exchange to Berlin in 1870 (but not found in the ZMB database).
VERIFIED TYPE LOCALITY: Walvis Bay, Namibia, but uncertain.
COMMENTS: Wahlberg collected a number of specimens in October and November 1854. The localities are interspersed, with some specimens labelled Scheppmansdorf (= Rooibank), Kuiseb River and Walvis Bay. Rooibank is upstream from the mouth of the Kuiseb River. It is not clear why Wahlberg distinguished Rooibank from Kuiseb River as a collecting locality, and it is likely that he used the names for places close to each other. He indicated, in a letter to Retzius dated 18 June 1854 (Craig & Hummel 1992), that he intended to collect on the coast, but he could have meant that this was the coast all the way from Swakop River mouth to Rooibank. Specimens collected from 9–30 November are mostly labelled Scheppmansdorf, so it can be accepted that Wahlberg spent this period there. The confused localities on specimen labels, however, bring a measure of uncertainty such that a more exact TL for this species cannot be verified.

description: OBJECTIVE: To identify barriers and solutions for the recruitment and retention of older (aged ≥65 years) people in clinical trials. DESIGN: Systematic literature review. METHODS: Three databases (Medline, Embase, and CENTRAL) were searched for articles reporting on barriers or solutions regarding the recruitment or retention of older people. Only original research articles were included. RESULTS: Fifty eligible articles were identified. Exclusion criteria were the most common cause of poor recruitment of older adults (mainly age and comorbidities). Patients' families or physicians often advised against participation (22% of included studies). Lack of interest (18%) and problems with transportation (18%) were also commonly cited as challenges. Fourteen trials (28%) reported that monitoring and adapting their recruitment methods helped, along with a flexible research team (26%) and provision of transportation (24%). Retention was impaired by death (12%), illness (8%), and loss of interest (6%). Methods with a positive effect on retention included financial incentives and regular information about the progress of the study (12%), a low staff turnover (12%), flexibility in appointment making (10%), and expression of appreciation by the staff through letters, gifts, and cards to the participants (10%). CONCLUSION: We identified several barriers and have listed potential solutions that may improve recruitment and lead to fewer dropouts in trials involving older populations. Implementation of our findings may help mitigate the manifold challenges that come with running a trial with older people.

On a triply-graded generalization of Khovanov homology
Creators: Putyra, Krzysztof
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Mathematics
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this thesis we study a certain generalization of Khovanov homology that unifies both the original theory due to M. Khovanov, referred to as the even Khovanov homology, and the odd Khovanov homology introduced by P. Ozsv´ath, Z. Szab´o, and J. Rasmussen.
      The generalized Khovanov complex is a variant of the formal Khovanov bracket introduced by Bar Natan, constructed in a certain 2-categorical extension of cobordisms, in which the disjoint union is a cubical 2-functor, but not a strict one. This allows us to twist the usual relations between cobordisms with signs or, more generally, other invertible scalars. We prove the homotopy type of the complex is a link invariant, and we show how both even and odd Khovanov homology can be recovered. Then we analyze other link homology theories arising from this construction such as a unified theory over the ring Z_p :=Z[p]/(p²−1), and a variant of the algebra of dotted cobordisms, defined over k := Z[X,Y,Z^±1]/(X² = Y² = 1).
      The generalized chain complex is bigraded, but the new grading does not make it a stronger invariant. However, it controls up to some extend signs in the complex, the property we use to prove several properties of the generalized Khovanov complex such as multiplicativity with respect to disjoint unions and connected sums of links, and the duality between complexes for a link and its mirror image. In particular, it follows the odd Khovanov homology of anticheiral links is self-dual. Finally, we explore Bockstein-type homological operations, proving the unified theory is a finer invariant than the even and odd Khovanov homology taken together.

description: The noise of signals or currents consisting from a sequence of pulses, elementary events or moving discrete objects (particles) is analyzed. A simple analytically solvable model is investigated in detail both analytically and numerically. It is shown that 1/f noise may result from the statistics of the pulses transit times with random increments of the time intervals between the pulses. The model also serves as a basis for revealing parameter dependences of 1/f noise and allows one to make some generalizations. As a result the intensity of 1/f noise is expressed through the distribution and characteristic functions of the time intervals between the subsequent transit times of the pulses. The conclusion that 1/f noise may result from the clustering of the signal pulses, elementary events or particles can be drawn from the analysis of the model systems.

Μεταξύ των έργων που συνέγραψε, υπάρχει η γεωγραφική μονογραφία με τίτλο: Memorie istoriografiche delli regni della Morea e Negroponte e luoghi adiacenti, η οποία δημοσιεύθηκε στη Βενετία το 1686 και αφορά τον ελληνικό γεωγραφικό χώρο. Πρόκειται για ένα έργο πολιτικής και φυσικής γεωγραφίας με στοιχεία πολιτικής ιστορίας, στο οποίο ο συγγραφέας καταγράφει επίσης τη σύγχρονή του πραγματικότητα με πληθώρα στοιχείων δημογραφικού, ανθρωπολογικού, οικονομικού και πολιτισμικού χαρακτήρα˙ ουσιαστικά, μια αποτύπωση της γεωγραφικής πραγματικότητας. Ο Coronelli αφιερώνει ένα κεφάλαιο στη Θεσσαλονίκη με τίτλο «Salonichi», το οποίο αποτελεί ένα μοναδικό τεκμήριο πληροφοριών για την πρωτεύουσα της Μακεδονίας κατά το 1686. Η σχολιασμένη μετάφραση του συγκεκριμένου κεφαλαίου, η οποία είναι η πρώτη στην ελληνική γλώσσα, περιλαμβάνει αφενός σχόλια μεταφρασεολογικού χαρακτήρα υιοθετώντας το πρότυπο ανάλυσης του Kaindl και αφετέρου γεωγραφικού, ιστορικού και πολιτισμικού χαρακτήρα όσον αφορά το περιεχόμενο.

 

The Venetian geographer, cartographer, cosmographer and encyclopaedist Vincenzo Maria Coronelli (1650-1718) was a prolific writer, leaving a great scientific geographical and cartographic footprint. Among the works he wrote, there is the geographical monograph Memorie istoriografiche delli regni della Morea e Negroponte e luoghi adiacenti, published in Venice in 1686, which deals with the Greek geographical area. It is a work of political and physical geography with elements of political history, in which the author also records his contemporary reality with a wealth of demographic, anthropological, economic and cultural data; in essence, an account of geographical reality. Coronelli devotes a chapter to Thessaloniki entitled «Salonichi», which is a unique documentary record of information on the capital of Macedonia in 1686. The annotated translation of this chapter, which is the first in Greek, on the one hand includes comments of a translational nature adopting Kaindl's model of analysis and on the other of a geographical, historical and cultural nature in terms of content.

description: In this thesis, we investigate the existence of relative arbitrage opportunities in a Markovian model of a financial market, which consists of a bond and stocks, whose prices evolve like Itô processes. We consider markets where investors are constrained to choose from among a restricted set of investment strategies. We show that the upper hedging price of (i.e. the minimum amount of wealth needed to superreplicate) a given contingent claim in a constrained market can be expressed as the supremum of the fair price of the given contingent claim under certain unconstrained auxiliary Markovian markets. Under suitable assumptions, we further characterize the upper hedging price as viscosity solution to certain variational inequalities. We, then, use this viscosity solution characterization to study how the imposition of stricter constraints on the market affect the upper hedging price. In particular, if relative arbitrage opportunities exist with respect to a given strategy, we study how stricter constraints can make such arbitrage opportunities disappear.

description: The core tools of science (data, software, and computers) are undergoing a rapid and historic evolution, changing what questions scientists ask and how they find answers. Earth science data are being transformed into new formats optimized for cloud storage that enable rapid analysis of multi-petabyte data sets. Data sets are moving from archive centers to vast cloud data storage, adjacent to massive server farms. Open source cloud-based data science platforms, accessed through a web-browser window, are enabling advanced, collaborative, interdisciplinary science to be performed wherever scientists can connect to the internet. Specialized software and hardware for machine learning and artificial intelligence are being integrated into data science platforms, making them more accessible to average scientists. Increasing amounts of data and computational power in the cloud are unlocking new approaches for data-driven discovery. For the first time, it is truly feasible for scientists to bring their analysis to data in the cloud without specialized cloud computing knowledge. This shift in paradigm has the potential to lower the threshold for entry, expand the science community, and increase opportunities for collaboration while promoting scientific innovation, transparency, and reproducibility. Yet, we have all witnessed promising new tools which seem harmless and beneficial at the outset become damaging or limiting. What do we need to consider as this new way of doing science is evolving?

description: The way doping affects the spin wave stiffness and the exchange stiffness of permalloy (Py) is investigated via ab-initio calculations, using the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (KKR) Green function formalism. By considering various types of dopants of different nature (V, Gd, and Pt), we are able to draw general conclusions. To describe the trends of the stiffness with doping is it sufficient to account for the exchange coupling between nearest neighbors. The polarizability of the impurities is not an important factor for the spin wave stiffness. Rather, the decisive factor is the hybridization between the impurity and the host states as reflected by changes in the Bloch spectral function. Our theoretical results agree well with earlier experiments.

description: The term quantum logic has different connotations for different people, having been considered as everything from a metaphysical attack on classical reasoning to an exercise in abstract algebra. Our aim here is to give a uniform presentation of what we call operational quantum logic, highlighting both its concrete physical origins and its purely mathematical structure. To orient readers new to this subject, we shall recount some of the historical development of quantum logic, attempting to show how the physical and mathematical sides of the subject have influenced and enriched one another.

description: Cold urticaria (ColdU) is a common form of chronic inducible urticaria characterized by the development of wheals, angioedema or both in response to cold exposure. Recent research and guideline updates have advanced our understanding and management of ColdU. Today, its pathophysiology is thought to involve the cold-induced formation of autoallergens and IgE to these autoallergens, which provoke a release of proinflammatory mediators from skin mast cells. The classification of ColdU includes typical and atypical subtypes. We know that cold-induced wheals usually develop on rewarming and resolve within an hour and that anaphylaxis can occur. The diagnosis relies on the patient's history and cold stimulation testing. Additional diagnostic work-up, including a search for underlying infections, should only be done if indicated by the patient's history. The management of ColdU includes cold avoidance, the regular use of nonsedating antihistamines and the off-label use of omalizumab. However, many questions regarding ColdU remain unanswered. Here, we review what is known about ColdU, and we present important unanswered questions on the epidemiology, underlying pathomechanisms, clinical heterogeneity and treatment outcomes. Our aim is to guide future efforts that will close these knowledge gaps and advance the management of ColdU.
On the Boundary Conditions and Internal Mechanics of Parallel Wire Strands

description: This dissertation analyzes the internal mechanics of parallel wire strands as found in the main cables of suspension bridges. Parallel wire strands of reduced order (7-wire, 19-wire, and 61-wire strands made of steel and aluminum) are fabricated and subjected to various boundary conditions and external loads (tension, clamping, twist, etc.). Neutron diffraction is used as an elastic strain measurement tool for its ability to penetrate bulk materials and/or layers of a multi-body system without disturbing the sample. Firstly, this thesis aims to quantify the development length – the distance over which a broken wire within a strand regains near-full service strain – as a function of various boundary conditions and failure scenarios. The feasibility of using neutron diffractometers to measure in situ elastic strains on civil-engineering-scale samples under both tensile load and radial confinement is validated using strands fabricated from steel bridge wire. Results from various 7-wire strands indicate that friction and mechanical interference on the microscopic level play a significant role in the load partitioning. Furthermore, wires that have been broken – either pre-cracked or fractured live and in situ during tensile loading – are capable of regaining significant stresses from their neighbors over a distance of tens of centimeters. The contribution of both friction force and mechanical interference on elastic strain redevelopment in broken wires should be included in analytical models designed to simulate failure processes. The second part of this thesis aims to measure the internal mechanics of larger parallel wire strands in response to various confinement (clamping) forces. 19 and 61 aluminum wire strands are fabricated and the internal strains of all constituent wires mapped in three orthogonal directions under various clamping loads. The strain distributions for both 19-wire and 61-wire strands show a surprising degree of heterogeneity. An increase in clamping force homogenizes the distribution to a degree, but only at unfeasibly high clamping forces. The results suggest that microscale variations in wire diameter dominate the internal mechanics of parallel wire strands. The stochastic distribution of wire sizes due to manufacturing tolerances throughout a strand cross-section creates a randomly ordered network of over- and under-sized wires. This imperfectly packed lattice results in large wire-to-wire variations in clamping constraint. The up-scaling in strand size from 19 to 61 wires increases the resolution of the experiment but does not reduce the heterogeneity of the strain distribution. Ergo, the assumption of perfect hexagonal packing in parallel wire strands is weak, and mean field distributions do not accurately describe the internal mechanics of such structures.

Storming the beaches : surface water aspects of the Britannia Mine remediation
Creators: name: Adamson, Mark

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: The Britannia Beach area has been affected by historical mining activity with deposits of mine waste (mostly waste rock and concentrated ore) at various locations. The area is characterized by steep slopes draining onto a flat alluvial fan, bisected by Britannia Creek. The mine is located in the temperate rainforest region of B.C., and significant volumes of stormwater run-off are generated in the wet months (October through April). Where surface water runs off mine wastes, the water quality is adversely affected (low pH and increased metal concentrations), and this water ultimately discharges to Howe Sound. A study of the existing surface water drainage system was initiated in 2006 with the objective of characterizing the metal flux discharging to Howe Sound via Britannia Beach storm drains. The purpose of the study was to identify ways to reduce this flux. This paper describes the field program and instrumentation used to collect flow and water quality data, and outlines different mitigation measures that could improve the stormwater discharge quality to Howe Sound. Such measures include separation of uncontaminated stormwater from contaminated run-off, rehabilitation of existing infrastructure, integration with the existing mine water treatment facility and lime addition.

description: We have used computer simulation to study the collapse of a hydrophobic chain in water. We find that the mechanism of collapse is much like that of a first order phase transition. The evaporation of water in the vicinity of the polymer provides the driving force for collapse, and the rate limiting step is the nucleation of a sufficiently large vapor bubble. The study is made possible through the application of transition path sampling and a coarse grained treatment of liquid water. Relevance of our findings to understanding the folding and assembly of proteins is discussed.
