description: We update a previous investigation of cosmological effects of a non-standard interaction between neutrinos and dark matter. Parameterizing the elastic-scattering cross section between the two species as a function of the temperature of the universe, the resulting neutrino-dark matter fluid has a non-zero pressure, which determines diffusion-damped oscillations in the matter power spectrum similar to the acoustic oscillations generated by the photon-baryon fluid. Using cosmic microwave background data in combination with large scale structure experiment results, we then put constraints on the fraction of the interacting dark matter component as well as on the corresponding opacity.

description: The phase-field crystal model is by now widely used in order to predict crystal nucleation and growth. For colloidal solidification with completely overdamped individual particle motion, we show that the phase-field crystal dynamics can be derived from the microscopic Smoluchowski equation via dynamical density functional theory. The different underlying approximations are discussed. In particular, a variant of the phase-field crystal model is proposed which involves less approximations than the standard phase-field crystal model. We finally test the validity of these phase-field crystal models against dynamical density functional theory. In particular, the velocities of a linear crystal front from the undercooled melt are compared as a function of the undercooling for a two-dimensional colloidal suspension of parallel dipoles. Good agreement is only obtained by a drastic scaling of the free energies in the phase-field crystal model in order to match the bulk freezing transition point.

Instigation and conditioning of vicarious affective responses
Creators: name: Weinstein, Malcolm Samuel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this study was to determine whether affective responses, as measured by electrical skin conductance, could be vicariously instigated and classically conditioned to a previously neutral stimulus in a two-person social situation. A naive observer watched a model (a confederate of the experimenter) attempt a difficult motor task. The task involved lifting a marble, supported on the end of a specially grooved rod, to the top of a three foot vertical channel, and then into a funnel. It was hypothesized that the model's failure experiences on the task would increase the frequency of the observer's affective responses to a greater extent than would the model's success. This same relationship was hypothesized for conditioning effects. The addition of instructions to the observer that the model's failure on the task would result in an electric shock to the model was expected to enhance both instigation and conditioning effects. Differences In male and female reactivity, as well as a decline in frequency of responses over time, were expected. Subjects were 50 volunteers from introductory psychology classes, 25 male and 25 female. They were randomly assigned to five experimental groups, with the stipulation that each group contain an equal number of males and females. A four factor analysis of variance design constituted the main statistical analysis. Main effects for Shock, Failure, Sex, and Blocks of Trials were analyzed in terms of their relationship to three response classes - Vicariously Instigated Responses (VIR); Conditioned Responses (CR); and Unconditioned Responses to the CS (UCR to CS). The CS was a small light warning the observer that the experimenter predicted the performer's failure on the task was imminent; the UCS to the observer was the Inferred emotional response of the performer to his success or failure on the task. A secondary analysis comprised three of the five experimental groups in which only the effects of shock, sex and blocks of trials were examined. Initial basal conductance levels were recorded and analyzed. In addition, ratings of the quality of the performance, the difficulty of the task, and comments by Observer's about their subjective attitudes during the experiment were examined. It was found that the paradigm employed effectively instigated affective arousal, and that this arousal could be conditioned to a warning signal. Shock contingent upon failure was no more effective than failure alone in producing these instigation and conditioning effects. No sex differences in responsivity were found. Significant declines in arousal over blocks of trials were observed. Ratings of the quality of the performance and the difficulty of the task conformed to expectations.

description: We re-examine the kinematic variable m_T2 and its relatives in the light of recent work by Cheng and Han. Their proof that m_T2 admits an equivalent, but implicit, definition as the `boundary of the region of parent and daughter masses that is kinematically consistent with the event hypothesis' is far-reaching in its consequences. We generalize their result both to simpler cases (m_T, the transverse mass) and to more complex cases (m_TGen). We further note that it is possible to re-cast many existing and unpleasant proofs (e.g. those relating to the existence or properties of "kink" and "crease" structures in m_T2) into almost trivial forms by using the alternative definition. Not only does this allow us to gain better understanding of those existing results, but it also allows us to write down new (and more or less explicit) definitions of (a) the variable that naturally generalizes m_T2 to the case in which the parent or daughter particles are not identical, and (b) the inverses of m_T and m_T2 -- which may be useful if daughter masses are known and bounds on parent masses are required. We note the implications that these results may have for future matrix-element likelihood techniques.

Dimensions of Access to Traceability Information for US Beef Cattle Producers: Merging Information Frameworks for Assessment and Visualization of State Web-Based Resources in an Effort to Strengthen National Security Connections between Government and Cattle Farming Operations
Creators: name: Boehm, Reid
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2023

description: US consumers eat a lot of beef. The nation’s beef cattle production industry is a multi-faceted, complex supply chain which makes it an area rich for discussion about information practices, yet vulnerable to problems such as disease and terrorist attack. This research looks at cattle identification and traceability information resources that are accessible to beef cattle producers through two web channels: the state cooperative Extension website and the state Department of Agriculture website. This is a state by state content analysis of all fifty states to look at the topics, types, formats, quality, and interactivity of the available resources. By merging two information frameworks, one with theoretical attention to components of access to information and one with applied attention to government information valuation measures, the research demonstrates an analysis process that connects state cattle producer demographics for comparison with aspects of the available cattle identification and traceability information from that state. This includes visualizing the nation as a whole and comparing state-based similarities and differences, illuminating areas of strengths, weaknesses, and gaps in contextually congruent information for the producer and stakeholder populations.
On the conformally coupled scalar field quantum cosmology

description: We propose a new initial condition for the homogeneous and isotropic quantum cosmology, where the source of the gravitational field is a conformally coupled scalar field, and the maximally symmetric hypersurfaces have positive curvature. After solving corresponding Wheeler-DeWitt equation, we obtain exact solutions in both classical and quantum levels. We propose appropriate initial condition for the wave packets which results in a complete classical and quantum correspondence. These wave packets closely follow the classical trajectories and peak on them. We also quantify this correspondence using de-Broglie Bohm interpretation of quantum mechanics. Using this proposal, the quantum potential vanishes along the Bohmian paths and the classical and Bohmian trajectories coincide with each other. We show that the model contains singularities even at the quantum level. Therefore, the resulting wave packets closely follow the classical trajectories from big-bang to big-crunch.

Large enhancement of the thermoelectric figure of merit in a ridged quantum well

description: Recently new quantum features were observed and studied in the ridged quantum wells (RQW). Periodic ridges on the surface of the quantum well layer impose additional boundary conditions on electron wave function and reduce quantum state density. As result, chemical potential of RQW increases and becomes the ridge height dependent. Here we propose system comprising of RQW and additional layer on the top of the ridges forming periodic series of p+-n+ junctions (or metal-n+ junctions). In such systems charge depletion region develops inside the ridges and effective ridge height reduces, becoming rather strong function of temperature T. Consequently, T dependence of chemical potential magnifies and Seebeck coefficient S increases. We investigate S in the system of semiconductor RQW having abrupt p+-n+ junctions or metal-n+ junctions on the top of the ridges. Analysis made on the basis of Boltzmann transport equations shows dramatic increase in S for both cases. At the same time other transport coefficients remain unaffected by the junctions. Calculations show one order of magnitude increase in thermoelectric figure of merit ZT relative to the bulk material.

Trends in the repertoire of the Moscow Art Theater from 1917-1941
Creators: name: Weeks, Richard Arnold
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: When the Moscow Art Theater appeared in New York in 1924, it was the apostle of a new dramatic naturalism bent on depicting man's inner torment through an intense psychological probing. Some forty years later, one of the world's greatest art theaters occupies only an insignificant position in the world of art. Why is this so? It is the purpose of this dissertation to answer this question by a careful analysis of the trends in the repertoire of the Moscow Art Theater. An analysis of the repertoire reveals several major trends in the Theater's repertoire after the Revolution of 1917. These trends are revealed through performances in the following areas: (a) Russian classical plays; (b) Adaptations of Russian classical novels; (c) Translations of West European classical plays; (d) Mikhail Bulgakov and his controversial plays; (e) Modern Soviet drama. An analysis of carefully selected plays from each trend reveals how the Moscow Art Theater was systematically sapped of all its inner vitality and enslaved to a regime. The resultant loss of creative endeavour and the Theater's reliance on the Russian classics in the years following World War II confirms the indivisibility of art and freedom. Some of the Moscow Art Theater's trends were established before the Revolution of 1917. This dissertation therefore, begins by tracing the Theater's repertorial trends since the first performance in 1898.

Understanding federal education policy 1987 to 2003

Subjects: Education policy
Australian government and politics

description: The principal argument underlying this thesis is that Federal Australian Education Policy Documents are not developed or couched in a coherent philosophically defensible understanding of what constitutes 'education'. Rather, the policy documents reflect and construct a view that so-called 'education' practices and institutions are part of a continuing and complex national defence strategy responding to a specific external threat. These threats range from the fear of actual military invasion present up to the end of the Cold War, the economic threats posed by the increasing globalisation of industry in the 1980's and the threat posed by globalised higher education at the turn of the 20th Century. The defensive reaction to all these external threats has resulted in an increasing Federal Government encroachment into education delivery and funding, despite the Constitutional provision under Section 107 that education is a states' matter. While recognising that reactions to perceived external threats have existed from Federation in 1901, this thesis will specifically examine the text of Federal Education Policy Documents from 1987/1988 to 2003. The examination and textual analysis of these policy documents will commence with ALP Minister John Dawkins' 1988 White Paper Higher Education: A Policy Statement and conclude with the discussion papers issued by Liberal Minister Brendan Nelson as the precursor to the 2003 policy document, Backing Australia's Future. The overview of Federal Education Policy prior to 1988, and the textual analysis of material after that date, indicates that successive Federal Education Policy documents are reactions to identified external threats. The thesis will propose that the Federal Government in the 21st Century through these repeated incursions into the states' Constitutional education responsibility in fact already controls Australia's Higher Education Sector through funding arrangements that the states are unable to refuse. The current Liberal-led Coalition Government has continued down the path set under Hawke and Dawkins whereby the Commonwealth has positioned itself to dictate the program content and management of Australia's Higher Education institutions though increasingly pervasive funding arrangements. This has been accomplished without a Constitutional change, initially by using Section 96 which allows the Federal Parliament to make grants to the states under conditions which it sees fit and later using the corporation powers of Section 51xx. In doing so, the Federal Government with the compliance of state governments, has shifted the purpose of universities to serve national ends. However, there does not appear to be any recognition in policy papers of the urgent need to debate or define the nature, purpose or aims of education in a philosophically rigorous manner.

description: We study cosmic-ray acceleration in a supernova remnant (SNR) and the escape from it. We model nonthermal particle and photon spectra for the hidden SNR in the open cluster Westerlund 2, and the old-age mixed-morphology SNR W 28. We assume that the SNR shock propagates in a low-density cavity, which is created and heated through the activities of the progenitor stars and/or previous supernova explosions. We indicate that the diffusion coefficient for cosmic-rays around the SNRs is less than ~1% of that away from them. We compare our predictions with the gamma-ray spectra of molecular clouds illuminated by the cosmic-rays (Fermi and H.E.S.S.). We found that the spectral indices of the particles are ~2.3. This may be because the particles were accelerated at the end of the Sedov phase, and because energy dependent escape and propagation of particles did not much affect the spectrum.

Deoxyribonuclease in the intestinal mucosa of rat
Creators: name: Lee, C.Y.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The properties of the deoxyribonuclease activity in the intestinal mucosa of rat have been studied. It was found that the activity was extractable from a whole cell preparation of the tissue with either Krebs Ringer phosphate buffer (pH 7.8) or physiological saline. The former was a better extracting medium, the buffered extract being more stable to storage at -20°C. Two active proteins were precipitated on fractionation of the Krebs Ringer phosphate buffer extract with ammonium sulfate. One fraction precipitated at 20% saturation of (NH₄)₂SO₄ was identified as DNase I by its optimum pH, ionic requirements and by its reaction to known DNase I inhibitors such as EDTA, citrate and arsenate. Ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose (chloride form) established that the products of reaction ranged from mononucleotides through to oligonucleotides with a degree of polymerization larger than 7. These products were shown to carry a phosphomonoester linkage on the 5’-carbon. This fraction was designated as the 20%P enzyme and represented a 20 fold purification of the crude deoxyribonuclease extract. The supernatant fraction obtained after the 20%P enzyme was removed by centrifugatlon was found to still contain - i i - considerable DNase activity. This residual activity disappeared from the solution when the ammonium sulfate concentration was increased to 30% saturation, but all attempts to recover the DNase activity from the protein precipitated at this salt concentration were unsuccessful. Consequently, studies of this residual DNase activity were carried out using the crude extract. This second deoxyrlbonuclease was shown to be qualitatively different from the 20% enzyme. It did not require activation by Mg⁺⁺, and was not inhibited by EDTA, citrate or arsenate. Some of the products formed by the crude enzyme extract were shown to terminate in 3’-phosphoryl groups. These products were not formed by the 20%P enzyme and therefore must be due to the residual deoxyrlbonuclease. In all likelihood then, this second deoxyribonuclease activity was of the DNase II type. The intracellular distribution of the intestinal mucosal deoxyribonuclease was studied by differential centrifugation of the tissue homogenate. DNase I activity was found to occur in the mitochondria whereas DNase II was associated with some lighter subcellular particles.

description: We have studied the lower critical fields H_{c1} of superconducting iron oxipnictide PrFeAsO_{1-y} single crystals for H parallel and perpendicular to the ab-planes. Measurements of the local magnetic induction at positions straddling the sample edge by using a miniature Hall-sensor array clearly resolve the first flux penetration from the Meissner state. The temperature dependence of H_{c1} for H || c is well scaled by the in-plane penetration depth without showing any unusual behavior, in contrast to previous reports. The anisotropy of penetration lengths at low temperatures is estimated to be ~ 2.5, which is much smaller than the anisotropy of the coherence lengths. This is indicative of multiband superconductivity in this system, in which the active band for superconductivity is more anisotropic. We also point out that the local induction measured at a position near the center of the crystal, which has been used in a number of reports for the determination of H_{c1}, might seriously overestimate the obtained H_{c1}-value.

description: To solve the poor fragrance retention of collagen-based materials, β-cyclodextrin derivatives bearing multiple aldehyde groups (MACD) were used to cross-link with collagen fibers (COLF) and subsequently to include l-menthol. The structure and performance of MACD, MACD cross-linked COLF (CD-COLF) and CD-COLF included with l-menthol (MEN/CD-COLF) were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the l-menthol loading content in CD-COLF was 2.05 mg/g, 2.85 times higher than that of the uncross-linked COLF. The stability constant (Ka) of MEN/CD-COLF at 25 °C was 364.78 L/mol, ΔH was −19.29 KJ/mol, ΔS was −15.62 J/(mol·K), and ΔG was −14.63 KJ/mol, which indicated the inclusion reaction was spontaneous, and the as-formed MEN/CD-COLF was stable. Meanwhile, the MEN/CD-COLF was more difficult to release l-menthol. The release rate was affected by temperature, the release equilibrium was prolonged, and the cumulative release degree was relatively lower. Furthermore, the fragrant collagen fibers were reused by washing with ethanol and dried under vacuum, and the regeneration was repeated 10 times. Therefore, the fragrant collagen fibers with outstanding characteristics could be promising candidates for applying new generation fragrant materials in biomedicine, leather and the textile industry.

description: We demonstrate the implementation of a fiber-integrated spectrograph utilizing chromatic group velocity dispersion (GVD) in a single mode fiber. By means of GVD we stretch an ultrafast pulse in time in order to spectrally resolve single photons in the time domain, detected by single photon counting modules with very accurate temporal resolution. As a result, the spectrum of a very weak pulse is recovered from a precise time measurement with high signal to noise ratio.

Report from the Field: HIV/AIDS in West Papua, July-Sept 2013
Creators: name: Munro, Jenny
Publisher: name: Canberra, ACT: Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs, College of Asia and the Pacific, The Australian National University
Year: 2014

description: I recently spent about three months in West Papua, mainly in the central highlands town of Wamena, Papua province. Government statistics suggest an HIV prevalence in Papua province of 2.4 % of the adult population, but people working on HIV prevention and treatment based mainly in indigenous-operated non-governmental organizations (NGOs) state that 1 in 5 of the young indigenous men and women they bring to a clinic for testing turn out to be HIV positive. HIV in Papua follows ethnic lines, with 68% of infections occurring in indigenous Papuans. As of September 2013 there were about 3600 HIV/AIDS cases in Jayawijaya, the regency (kabupaten) in which Wamena is located, mainly occurring among indigenous people, who may number in total about 80,000. Because Wamena offers HIV testing and treatment, a result of targeted international donor and government efforts to create a flagship site in a remote part of West Papua, it is seen as a comparative success, a case of technological expansion and service delivery under trying geographic, cultural and political conditions. In this report I describe current conditions that test this view, as well as point to the obvious: Wamena can only seem good in comparison with the absolute lack of HIV services beyond the city limits and in neighbouring rural and remote districts.

description: Two-dimensional transitional metal dichalcogenides (2D TMDs) and zero-dimensional quantum dots (QDs) are among the most representative low-dimensional emitter systems, with one or three dimensions on nano-scale. Both of them exhibit potential for (quantum) optical applications. Analog to the electric field and magnetic field, strain is a powerful probe to detect the physics of the emitter systems. The reduced dimension renders strain tuning more applicable to deepen the understanding and tune their properties. Previous researches demonstrate that strain can change the distance of particles or/and the symmetry. Based on this, we conduct some investigations: first, we detect the responses of monolayer WSe2 to biaxial in-plane strain. Generally, all the helicities of excitons and trions are related to the scattering process. In our observation, the decreases of exciton circular helicities in WSe2 and MoSe2 are associated with their e-h exchange interactions. The helicity of trion in MoSe2 is almost intact, and a phenomenological rate equation model is developed to describe the decrease of trions in WSe2, which agrees with our observation well. Our findings provide a new strategy to tune the read-in/read-out in TMDs-based memory devices. Second, we focus on the responses of WSe2 to uniaxial strain. We identify fine structures of neutral exciton in polarization-dependent photoluminescence spectroscopy. The nonlinear evolutions, in terms of amplitude and phase, with an active uniaxial strain are interpreted by the interaction of wavefunction with strain. Though these two bulk strain-tuning platforms hold the potential for sophisticated emitter systems, a more versatile strain-tuning platform is needed. In the last section of this work, a 2-leg MEMS strain-tuning platform is fabricated and then integrated with a QDs-embedded membrane. We resolve the position-dependent anisotropic strain on the strain-tuning platform and compare the opposite responses of positive and negative trions to the same strain. Our observation agrees well with the previous pseudo-potential/configuration interaction calculations. Notably, the 2-leg strain platform applies to 2D TMDs. These findings act as some helpful attempts to deepen the understanding of low-dimensional emitter systems. In some ongoing work, we get a prototype as a more versatile strain-tuning platform. We envision this platform can add a degree of freedom for the integrated photonic circuits.

description: Motivation Single-cell multimodal assays allow us to simultaneously measure two different molecular features of the same cell, enabling new insights into cellular heterogeneity, cell development and diseases. However, most existing methods suffer from inaccurate dimensionality reduction for the joint-modality data, hindering their discovery of novel or rare cell subpopulations. Results Here, we present VIMCCA, a computational framework based on variational-assisted multi-view canonical correlation analysis to integrate paired multimodal single-cell data. Our statistical model uses a common latent variable to interpret the common source of variances in two different data modalities. Our approach jointly learns an inference model and two modality-specific non-linear models by leveraging variational inference and deep learning. We perform VIMCCA and compare it with 10 existing state-of-the-art algorithms on four paired multi-modal datasets sequenced by different protocols. Results demonstrate that VIMCCA facilitates integrating various types of joint-modality data, thus leading to more reliable and accurate downstream analysis. VIMCCA improves our ability to identify novel or rare cell subtypes compared to existing widely used methods. Besides, it can also facilitate inferring cell lineage based on joint-modality profiles.
On rolling, tunneling and decaying in some large N vector models

description: Various aspects of time-dependent processes are studied within the large N approximation of O(N) vector models in three dimensions. These include the rolling of fields, the tunneling and decay of vacua. We present an exact solution for the quantum conformal case and find a solution for more general potentials when the total change of the value of the field is small. Characteristic times are found to be shorter when the time dependence of the field is taken into account in constructing the exact large N effective potentials. We show that the different approximations yield the same answers in the regions of the overlap of the validity. A numerical solution of this potential reveals a tunneling in which the bubble that separates the true vacuum from the false one is thick.

description: A simple $n$-gon is a polygon with $n$ edges with each vertex belonging to exactly two edges and every other point belonging to at most one edge. Brass asked the following question: For $n \geq 5$ odd, what is the maximum perimeter of a simple $n$-gon contained in a Euclidean unit disk? In 2009, Audet, Hansen and Messine answered this question, and showed that the optimal configuration is an isosceles triangle with a multiple edge, inscribed in the disk. In this note we give a shorter and simpler proof of their result, which we generalize also for hyperbolic disks, and for spherical disks of sufficiently small radii.
