description: (abridged) We review how the recent increase in X-ray and radio data from black hole and neutron star binaries can be merged together with theoretical advances to give a coherent picture of the physics of the accretion flow in strong gravity. Both long term X-ray light curves, X-ray spectra, the rapid X-ray variability and the radio jet behaviour are consistent with a model where a standard outer accretion disc is truncated at low luminosities, being replaced by a hot, inner flow which also acts as the launching site of the jet. Decreasing the disc truncation radius leads to softer spectra, as well as higher frequencies (including QPO's) in the power spectra, and a faster jet. The collapse of the hot flow when the disc reaches the last stable orbit triggers the dramatic decrease in radio flux, as well as giving a qualitative (and often quantitative) explanation for the major hard--soft spectral transition seen in black holes and neutron stars. After collapse of the hot inner flow, the spectrum in black hole systems can be dominated by the disc emission. Its behaviour is consistent with the existence of a last stable orbit, and such data can be used to estimate the black hole spin. These systems can also show very different spectra at these high luminosities, in which the disc spectrum is strongly distorted by Comptonization. The structure of the accretion flow becomes increasingly uncertain as the luminosity approaches (and exceeds) the Eddington luminosity, though there is growing evidence that winds play an important role. We stress that these high Eddington fraction flows are key to understanding many disparate and currently very active fields such as ULX, Narrow Line Seyfert 1's, and the growth of the first black holes in the Early Universe.

description: We present five epochs of simultaneous radio (VLA) and X-ray (Chandra) observations of SS 433, to study the relation between the radio and X-ray emission in the arcsecond-scale jets of the source. We detected X-ray emission from the extended jets in only one of the five epochs of observation, indicating that the X-ray reheating mechanism is transient. The reheating does not correlate with the total flux in the core or in the extended radio jets. However, the radio emission in the X-ray reheating regions is enhanced when X-ray emission is present. Deep images of the jets in linear polarization show that outside of the core, the magnetic field in the jets is aligned parallel to the local velocity vector, strengthening the case for the jets to be composed of discrete bullets rather than being continuous flux tubes. We also observed anomalous regions of polarized emission well away from the kinematic trace, confirming the large-scale anisotropy of the magnetic field in the ambient medium surrounding the jets.

title: A Fine-Structural Study of Aberrant Meiotic Cytokinesis in an Autosomal Male Sterile Mutant (ms(2)3R) of Drosophila melonogaster
Creators: name: Laughran, Laura J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1975

description: The ultrastructure of abnormal meiotic cytokinesis in an autosomal male sterile mutant of Drosophila melanogaster is described. In the mutant ms(2)3R mitotic cytokinesis proceeds normally, but abnormal meiotic divisions give rise to four spermatids developing in one cytoplasmic mass. The contractile ring which is responsible for cell constriction during cytokinesis appears to form and function normally during meiosis. Ring canals which form intercellular bridges between synchronously developing spermatids are also apparently normal. However, there is an apparent adhesion and subsequent disintegration of the furrow membranes after division is completed. In addition to double membrane fragments in areas of open communication between germ cells, occasional unattached ring canals within the spermatid cytoplasm were found. These findings suggest that cell fusion is the anomaly in meiotic cytokinesis of ms(2)3R. Some observations on abnormal nebenkern formation are also reported.
title: Evidence Against the Transmission of Staphylococci by the Mosquito Culex tarsalis
Creators: name: Molenda, John R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1957

description: Staphylococcal synovitis is a pathological condition of birds involving primarily the wing and leg joints. It is frequently referred to as arthritis, osteoarthritis, bursitis, hock disease, staphylococcosis, and weak leg.
The disease has been reported throughout various parts of the world as having been found in a great variety of avian hosts including pheasants, chickens, pigeons, canaries, geese, ducks, grouse, and turkeys.
Miner (1945) presented results of a survey made on turkey diseases in Sanpete County, Utah, which indicated staphylococcal synovitis to be responsible for the greatest numbers of deaths. His report cites this infection as having been found in 39% of the flocks in this county. This disease is still prevalent throughout the state; it usually claims from 3% to 5% of a flock (Miner, 1957). Since the disease usually appears between the ninth and twelfth week of age and persists until marketing, it proves to be a considerable detriment to the grower.
After several years of research, the vector if any, and the natural portal of entry of the etiologic agent still remain a complete mystery. The disease appears first as a septicemia, followed by a localization in the joints involved (Hinshaw and McNeil, 1952).
Evidence has accumulated which tends to incriminate blood sucking arthropods as possible vectors. As yet, the role of insects in relation to the disease has not been studied.
It is therefore proposed to study the role of one species of mosquito as a possible vector of staphylococcal synovitis.
title: The Development of a Bluetongue Virus Diagnostic Assay using Peptides Derived from the Structural Protein VP7 and Nonstructural Protein NS2
Creators: name: Lu, Yi

description: Several peptides derived from viral proteins, VP7 and NS2 of bluetongue virus (BTV), were synthesized for an immunologic detection assay: distinguishing between bluetongue virus infected, vaccinated, and noninfected animals (ruminants) with dot blot analysis. The School of Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis, supplied the serum samples from 24 bovine, 18 caprine, 23 ovine. Another 205 bison serum samples were obtained in Utah. The serum samples of BTV-infected animals revealed detectable antibodies to both VP7 and NS2 peptides, whereas vaccinated animals only exhibited antibodies against VP7. Noninfected animals did not display antibody against either viral peptide. These data confirmed the agar gel immunodiffusion assay results determined by the Ross A. Smart Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at Utah State University. These tests showed that the synthesized peptides of VP7 and NS2 can be used effectively in an immunological assay that can detect and determine whether animals have been BTV infected or vaccinated.

In our experiments, an electron lens, a novel instrument developed for the beam-beam compensation, was set on a 980-GeV proton bunch in the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider. The proton bunch losses due to its interaction with antiproton beam were reduced by a factor of 2 when the electron lens was operating. We describe the principle of electron lens operation and present experimental results.

description: The use of reactive detection technologies such as passive and active sensors for avoiding car accidents involving pedestrians and other Vulnerable Road Users (VRU) is one of the cornerstones of Cooperative, Connected, and Automated Mobility (CCAM). However, CCAM systems are not yet present in all roads at all times. The use of currently available technologies that are embedded in smartphones, such as location services and Internet access, are enablers for the early detection of VRUs. This paper presents the proof-of-concept of a system that provides vehicles with enough information about the presence of VRUs by using public cellular networks, an MQTT broker, and IEEE 802.11p-enabled hardware (a roadside unit and an on-board unit). The system was tested in an urban environment and in a test track, where its feasibility was evaluated. Results were satisfactory, proving the system is reliable enough to alert of the sudden appearance of a VRU in time for the driver to react.

title: The Role of the Arabidopsis Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase in Vacuolar Protein Transport
Creators: name: Jones, Christopher A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2002

description: In all eukaryotic organisms vesicle-mediated protein transport is crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis. Over the past decade significant strides have been made in elucidating the molecular mechanisms governing this complex process. Both genetic and biochemical studies have demonstrated the unequivocal involvement of class III phospatidylinositol 3-kinases (PtdIns 3-kinases) in regulating vesicle transport. While PtdIns 3-kinases have been well studied in both yeast and mammalian systems, the role of these enzymes in plants is poorly understood. In the present study, we demonstrate that the Arabidopsis Ptdlns 3-kinase is localized to the cytoplasm, and perhaps the Golgi apparatus. Moreover, we show that reduction in cellular PtdIns(3)P levels is correlated with missorting of a vacuolar marker protein. Altogether, our data suggest that AtVps34p (and its lipid product PtdIns(3)P) is involved in regulating vesicle-mediated protein transport to the vacuole in Arabidopsis.
Planning for water resources management in rural areas : a case study of Texada Island
Creators: name: Hay, Kathryn Mary
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis develops a conceptual framework that could be used to understand, assess and balance water resources supply and demand in regions where data are limited. The framework is then applied to a case study of Texada Island in British Columbia. The flow of water into and out of Texada is calculated using the Thornthwaite water balance method which uses average monthly precipitation and monthly daily average temperature data. The stock of surface water is estimated using existing data on lake volumes in conjunction with the results of analyses of air photographs and topographic maps. After the analysis of maps, reports, and interviews with mining personnel regarding the island's geology, likely aquifers were identified and their approximate water storage capacity was calculated. The present rate of water use was determined from interviews with island residents and industry personnel, field observations, analysis of available data and a review of the relevant literature on water demands by different water using sectors. Finally, to determine whether water supplies on the island were adequate to meet future demands, scenarios were constructed for analysing potential water use to 1996 by various water using sectors. The results of the supply-demand analysis revealed that on an annual and region-wide basis, water on Texada is abundant and will be adequate to meet expected demands to 1996, and likely beyond. However, there are some local areas that currently experience water shortages during the low flow and peak demand period during the summer months. The management options that were determined to be the most appropriate solution to summer water shortages are, in the short-term, trucking in water and selective restrictions on water use during the peak demand period. In the medium to long-term, the diversion of surface water and the development of groundwater are the most appropriate solutions to water shortages on Texada. Next steps for planning the management of water resources on Texada Island are suggested. The initial and most important of these involves abandoning the ad hoc approach that now exists for dealing with water resources on the island and adopting a strategic, co-operative and co-ordinated approach involving residents and to a lesser extent, the Powell River Regional District, of which Texada is a part.
title: Movement Patterns of Phrynosoma mcallii and Phrynosoma platyrhinos in Response to Substrate Texture
Creators: name: Foley, Daniel H.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2002

description: During the summers of 1999 and 2000 the apparent habitat partitioning of two species of sympatric horned lizards was investigated at the Barry M. Goldwater Bombing Range near Yuma, Arizona. The flat-tailed horned lizard, Phrynosoma mcallii, and the desert horned lizard, P. platyrhinos, overlap in range in portions of the Sonora desert in the southwestern United States. However, upon finer scale examination, it appeared that these horned lizards were partitioning the available habitat according to soil substrate texture. Phrynosoma mcallii appeared to be exclusively found in areas of fine, loose, wind-blown sands, in contrast to P. platyrhinos, which appeared to be associated with areas of hardpan substrates covered by small rocks and pebbles. Subsequently, an experiment was set up to test if soil texture was indeed responsible, at least in part, for the observed partitioning of these lizards among the available habitat. Three experimental treatments were established (Sandy, Rocky, Mixed) which differed only with respect to soil texture. Lizards of both species and sexes were fitted with backpacks of thread and allowed to spool out one pathway in each of the three treatments. Additionally, pathways of P. mcallii found on the Naval Air Facility El Centro CA were also collected. This nearby population of P. mcallii is allopatric with respect to P. platyrhinos. Net displacements, fractal dimensions, and a correlated random walk (CRW) model were utilized to evaluate differences in movement patterns. Similarities in the net displacement and fractal dimension of movement pathways from both species of horned lizards for each of the three treatments suggest substrate composition does not affect species distribution. Additionally, a CRW model severely underpredicted the observed net squared displacement of both P. mcallii and P. platyrhinos among all three treatments and at both study sites, thus indicating that lizards were moving more linearly than would be expected. Other abiotic factors such as temperature or soil moisture could be important variables in habitat preference. Additionally, due to the sister relationship of these species, phylogenetic constraints in morphology and/or behavior may contribute the to lack of differing movement patterns among varying substrates.
Removal of ocular artifact from visual evoked response recordings
Creators: name: O’Toole, Dennis Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Potentials generated by the eye cause unwanted artifact in Visual Evoked Response (VER) recordings. These artifacts often contaminate the data in a systematic way that can lead to spurious experimental results. Although it is widely agreed that ocular artifact must be accounted for, the methods used to deal with this problem are varied. The present study compared four methods used to control ocular artifact; blink rejection, eyes closed, subtraction and regression. Twenty normal, female subjects were tested twice within the same session. Subjects watched light flashes of 4 intensities; 2, 30, 80, and 240 ft lamberts. The lights were presented at 1 hertz, reached maximum brightness in 0.5 msec and lasted for 0.5 sec. During testing the VER, and electroocculographic (EOG) response generated by a blink, were recorded. In the blink rejection method, any VER epoch that contained blink artifact was excluded from the average. The eyes closed method consisted of having subjects watch the stimuli through closed eyelids. The subtraction method corrects blink artifact by digitally subtracting the averaged EOG from the EEG. The proportion of EOG subtracted was determined by the EEG/EOG ratio estimated while subjects blinked spontaneously in a darkened environment. The regression method determines what proportion of EOG is to be subtracted on the basis of the correlation between EOG and EEG within VER epochs. Two correction, factors are calculated, one to correct for vertical movements and one to correct for horizontal movements. The blink rejection method was found to be useful with subjects who had 40% or more blink-free epochs, but was an unreliable method for the majority of subjects. The eyes closed method was also found to produce poor VER data. The eyelids appear to attenuate the light reaching the retina and there may be eyeball movement despite having the eyes closed. Both the subtraction and regression methods substantially reduced the ocular artifact. Horizontal eye movements do not appear to be a significant problem over the short intervals of VER recording because the regression method was not superior to the subtraction method in removing artifact. Although the subtraction and regression methods effectively reduce ocular artifact, both are less effective at posterior electrode placements. The reason for this may be that ocular potential is not propagated across the scalp in a linear fashion, as often assumed. Using spontaneously generated blinks in a darkened environment, it was found that the ocular potential waveform changes shape as it moves towards the back of the head.
Searching for Kardashev Type III civilisations from High $q$-Value Sources in the LoTSS-DR1 Value-added Catalogue

description: Kardashev Type III civilisations have by definition energy requirements that are likely to generate strong excess emission in the mid-infrared (MIR) that is associated with the waste heat they generate. For those civilisations that capture starlight via Dyson sphere like constructions, the Optical to MIR flux ratio of the host galaxies is also expected to be unusually low. Since a wide range of galaxy types adhere to the infrared-radio correlation (IRC), galaxies hosting Type III civilisations should also strongly deviate from this relation. Radio data can therefore play a crucial role in breaking the degeneracy between the effects of dust obscuration in a galaxy and the signature of an energy-intensive civilisation. We have used the newly released LoTSS-DR1 value-added catalogue to create a sample of 16,367 $z < 0.2$ sources with radio and MIR flux densities, optical photometry and (photometric) redshifts. We calculated the IRC parameter $q^{\rm22~μm}_{\rm 150~MHz}$ = log($S_{150~{\rm MHz}}$/$S_{22~{\rm μm}}$) and identified 21 sources with exceptionally high values of $q^{\rm22~μm}_{\rm 150~MHz}$, an indication of MIR emission enhanced by a factor of $\sim$ 10. Out of the 21 high $q$-value sources, 4 sources have very red MIR colors, and appear to have relatively low optical/MIR ratios. Two of the 4 sources are not well known in the literature, they are considered as potential hosts of Type III civilisations. These sources deserve further study and investigation. Finally, we note that extending our analysis to the full LoTSS survey area can place very strong constraints on the incidence of Type III civilisations in the universe.

description: As a constraint for new starburst/AGN models of IRAS bright galaxies we determine the radio spectra of 31 luminous and ultraluminous IRAS galaxies (LIRGs/ULIRGs). We construct the radio spectra using both new and archival data. From our sample of radio spectra we find that very few have a straight power-law slope. Although some sources show a flattening of the radio spectral slope at high frequencies the average spectrum shows a steepening of the radio spectrum from 1.4 to 22.5 GHz. This is unexpected because in sources with high rates of star formation we expect flat spectrum, free-free emission to make a significant contribution to the radio flux at higher radio frequencies. Despite this trend the radio spectral indices between 8.4 and 22.5 GHz are flatter for sources with higher values of the FIR-radio flux density ratio q, when this is calculated at 8.4 GHz. Therefore, sources that are deficient in radio emission relative to FIR emission (presumably younger sources) have a larger thermal component to their radio emission. However, we find no correlation between the radio spectral index between 1.4 and 4.8 GHz and q at 8.4 GHz. Because the low frequency spectral index is affected by free-free absorption, and this is a function of source size for a given mass of ionized gas, this is evidence that the ionized gas in ULIRGs shows a range of densities. The youngest LIRGs and ULIRGs are characterized by a larger contribution to their high-frequency radio spectra from free-free emission. However, the youngest sources are not those that have the greatest free-free absorption at low radio frequencies. The sources in which the effects of free-free absorption are strongest are instead the most compact sources. Although these have the warmest FIR colours, they are not necessarily the youngest sources.

Holotype:— IRAN. Khorassan Province; Mashhad toward Torbat-Heidaryeh, 1750–1900 m, 15 June 1981, M. Assadi & V. Mozaffarian 35895 (TARI, not seen).
Based on the Flora of Iran (Assadi 2023), the type specimen has been collected from 60 km N Torbate-Heydarieh, Robate Sefid, 1900m. Before having the opportunity to check the type specimen, we could not verify the correct data. Although, the authors of this paper have not seen the type specimen, one specimen has been collected from a locality near the type location: Khorassan: Between Nishabur and Kashmar, 70 km S Neyshabur, gypsum hills near Chelpu, 35°37’23”N, 58°31’48”E, 1846m, 24 October 2007, H.Akhani & F. Memariani 19054 (Herb.Akhani). Some additional specimens have been cited in Flora of Iran, most of them from close localities in southern parts of Khorassan Province on gypsum-marl hills. One of the reported specimens (Amirabadi & Payab 10837) has been collected from the same locality as Akhani & Memariani 19054. The authors of the original protologue have compared A. khorasanensis with A. breslerianus using following differences: cladodes 2–4 (not 1–3), thicker cladodes, shorter internodes, longer scale leaves (2–2.5 mm long, not 0.5–0.7 mm long) and slightly larger berries (7–8 mm not 5–5.5 mm) and a larger corolla (7–8 mm not 6–7 mm long) (Hamdi & Assadi, 2009). Comparing Flora of Iran (Assadi 2023) and the original manuscript (Hamdi and Assadi 2009), we found contradiction in the description of the species’ characters. The corolla length is described to be 4 mm long, the leaves are just 1 mm, and the berries of A. breslerianus and A. khorassanicus are described to be 10 and 9 mm in Assadi (2023). The cladode character, “straight versus crowed” seems to be a linguistic mistake in Table 1 page 424 (Hamdi & Assadi, 2009) that arose probably by software auto-correction confusing “crowed” against “curved”. We consider A. khorassanicus to be a synonym of A. breslerianus based on the present data.

description: The family of group IV-VI monochalcogenides has an atomically puckered layered structure, and their atomic bond configuration suggests the possibility for the realization of various polymorphs. Here, we report the synthesis of the first hexagonal polymorph from the family of group IV-VI monochalcogenides, which is conventionally orthorhombic. Recently predicted four-atomic-thick hexagonal GeSe, so-called γ-GeSe, is synthesized and clearly identified by complementary structural characterizations, including elemental analysis, electron diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy imaging, and polarized Raman spectroscopy. The electrical and optical measurements indicate that synthesized γ-GeSe exhibits high electrical conductivity of 3x10^5 S/m, which is comparable to those of other two-dimensional layered semimetallic crystals. Moreover, γ-GeSe can be directly grown on h-BN substrates, demonstrating a bottom-up approach for constructing vertical van der Waals heterostructures incorporating γ-GeSe. The newly identified crystal symmetry of γ-GeSe warrants further studies on various physical properties of γ-GeSe.

The Native Brotherhood of British Columbia 1931-1950 : a new phase in native political organization
Creators: name: O’Donnell, Jacqueline Patricia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this study is to examine the organization and activities of the Native Brotherhood of British Columbia during the years 1931-1950 and to explore the impediments and incentives to native extra-kin organization in the province prior to and during this period. In preparing this thesis I have drawn on numerous secondary sources dealing with the historical development of Indian policy in British Columbia and also, works focusing on specific native organizations. In addition, I have used a report submitted by the Special Joint Committee appointed in 1927, to inquire into the claims of the Allied Tribes, as well as the Minutes and Proceedings of the Special Joint Committee which convened during the years 1946, 1947 and 1948 to revise the Indian Act. A native newspaper entitled The Native Voice was also utilized for the purposes of this study. The composition of British Columbia's Indian population is diverse, yet, despite the geographic, linguistic, social, political and cultural differences among the province's natives, organizations did develop. Two important catalysts existed within north coast society and pertained to the formation of native extra-kin organizations. For example, a hierarchical leadership structure which provided an able leadership base and the economic orientation of commercial fishing which provided the means of transportation and communication, both necessary to facilitate the growth and success of an organization. In addition, other factors acted as the triggering mechanisms which prompted natives to organize. First, a distinct historical experience; second, the concept of aboriginal title; and third, the Depression of the 1930's. The two organizations which preceded the Native Brotherhood were single issue, elite based organizations geared toward pressing the Provincial, Dominion and Imperial authorities to compensate natives for their loss of aboriginal rights to land and resources. Therefore, these organizations represent Phase One of native organization. The establishment of the Native Brotherhood of British Columbia in 1931 marked the beginning of a new phase of native organization in the province. The Brotherhood was a membership based organization which sought provincial representation. Furthermore, for the first time a native organization focused on a wider range of issues relating to the general welfare and inferior socio-political position of British Columbia natives. Therefore, the aims and objectives of the organization were Pan-Indian in nature.

description: We construct quadratic quantum algebra based on the dynamical RLL-relation for the quantum $R$-matrix related to $SL(NM)$-bundles with nontrivial characteristic class over elliptic curve. This $R$-matrix generalizes simultaneously the elliptic nondynamical Baxter--Belavin and the dynamical Felder $R$-matrices,and the obtained quadratic relations generalize both -- the Sklyanin algebra and the relations in the Felder-Tarasov-Varchenko elliptic quantum group, which are reproduced in the particular cases $M=1$ and $N=1$ respectively.

description: Developing analysis pipelines based on statistics beyond two-point functions is critical for extracting a maximal amount of cosmological information from current and upcoming weak lensing surveys. In this paper, we study the impact of the intrinsic alignment of galaxies (IA) on three promising probes measured from aperture mass maps -- the lensing peaks, minima and full PDF, in comparison and in combination with the shear two-point correlation functions ($γ$-2PCFs). Our two-dimensional IA infusion method converts the light-cone-projected mass sheets into projected tidal tensors, which are then linearly coupled to an intrinsic ellipticity component with a strength controlled by the coupling parameter $A_{\rm IA}$. We validate our method with the $γ$-2PCFs statistics, recovering well the analytical calculations from the linear alignment model of Bridle \& King in a full tomographic setting, and for different $A_{\rm IA}$ values. We next use our method to infuse at the galaxy catalogue level a non-linear IA model that includes the density-weighting term introduced in \citet{Blazek2015}, and compute the impact on the three aperture mass map statistics. We find that large \snr peaks are maximally affected, with deviations reaching 30\% (10\%) for a {\it Euclid}-like (KiDS-like) survey. Modelling the signal in a $w$CDM cosmology universe with $N$-body simulations, we forecast the cosmological bias caused by unmodelled IA for 100 deg$^2$ of {\it Euclid}-like data, finding very large offsets in $w_0$ (5-10$σ_{\rm stat}$), $Ω_{\rm m}$ (4-6$σ_{\rm stat}$), and $S_8 \equiv σ_8\sqrt{Ω_{\rm m}/0.3}$ ($\sim$3$σ_{\rm stat}$). The method presented in this paper offers a compelling avenue to account for IA in beyond-two-point weak lensing statistics, with a flexibility comparable to that of current $γ$-2PCFs IA analytical models.

description: We show how to compute directly the renormalization/evolution of the radiative jet function that appears in the factorization theorems for $B\to γ\ellν$ and $H\to γγ$ through a $b$-quark loop. We point out that, in order to avoid double counting of soft contributions, one should use in the factorization theorems a subtracted radiative jet function, from which soft contributions have been removed. The soft-contribution subtractions are zero-bin subtractions in the terminology of soft-collinear effective theory. We show that they can be factored from the radiative jet function and that the resulting soft-subtraction function gives rise to a nonlocal renormalization of the subtracted radiative jet function. This is a novel instance in which zero-bin subtractions lead to a nonlocality in the renormalization of a subtracted quantity that is not present in the renormalization of the unsubtracted quantity. We demonstrate the use of our formalism by computing the order-$α_s$ evolution kernel for the subtracted radiative jet function. Our result is in agreement with the result that had been inferred previously by making use of the factorization theorem for $B\to γ\ellν$, but that had been ascribed to the unsubtracted radiative jet function.

description: We study the Maxwell quasinormal spectrum on asymptotically anti-de Sitter black holes with a set of two Robin type boundary conditions, by requiring the energy flux to vanish at asymptotic infinity. Focusing, for illustrative purposes, on Schwarzschild-anti-de Sitter black holes both without and with a global monopole, we unveil that, on the one hand, the Maxwell quasinormal spectrum bifurcates as the black hole radius increases for both boundary conditions, which is termed the mode split effect; while on the other hand, with an appropriate fixed black hole radius but increasing the monopole parameter, the first (second) boundary condition may trigger (terminate) the mode split effect.

description: The paper reports on the compilation and illustrates the main features of a corpus of manuscript ego documents written in English by both adults and children in the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries in Canada – a crucial time in the history of the country and in the development of the Canadian variety of English. The corpus is part of a larger project that intends to contribute to Canadian studies and English historical sociolinguistics by a) tracing the evolution of the specificities of Canadian English in a diachronic perspective; b) investigating the contribution of different languages or varieties of the same language to the development of Canadian English; and c) analyzing how demographic and social differences are encoded in and have influenced language use in Canada. Some preliminary findings are also presented.
