description: Lateral quantum dot molecules consist of at least two closely-spaced InGaAs quantum dots arranged such that the axis connecting the quantum dots is perpendicular to the growth direction. These quantum dot complexes are called molecules because the small spacing between the quantum dots is expected to lead to the formation of molecular-like delocalized states. We present optical spectroscopy of ensembles and individual lateral quantum dot molecules as a function of electric fields applied along the growth direction. The results allow us to characterize the energy level structure of lateral quantum dot molecules and the spectral signatures of both charging and many-body interactions. We present experimental evidence for the existence of molecular-like delocalized states for electrons in the first excited energy shell.

description: This paper aims to present a first step in the investigation of the environment hosting narrative ecosystems through the tools offered by Social Network Analysis (SNA). The narrative ecosystem paradigm is a cross-disciplinary approach that considers vast narratives as the result of an ecosystemic design, where a general model is developed in advance as an evolutionary system. Consistently with this systemic view, our idea is to bring the relations among the components of the ecosystems and the environment that host them (i.e. the entertainment industry) to the fore through the implementation of SNA. In order to do so, we focused on the relational patterns characterizing a sample of 164 U.S. TV series aired between 1984 and 2013. For each one of them, we collected data on executive producers, broadcasters, production studios, actors and writers. Through the analysis of the networks we obtained by computing the data, we drew some conclusions regarding the effectiveness of the ecological and evolutionary paradigm, the non-rigid and opportunistic patterns of alliances and coalitions among competitive firms, the relevance of the strategies of capital implemented by the firms and the strategies of labor implemented by the people.

An Analysis of Transparent through Dispossession

Year: 2016
Subjects: Dispossession; Transparent; Gender Expansive; Transgender; Cisgender; Coming Out

description: Using dispossession as an analytical lens, this essay problematizes the way in which the transgender “coming out” experience is depicted on the Amazon original serial, Transparent (2014-). Contextualizing Butler and Anathasiou’s (2013) work on dispossession within the history of the pathologization of gender expansiveness in the United States of America, this essay argues that Transparent’s use of “coming out” rhetoric dispossesses the transgender protagonist, Maura (Jeffrey Tambor), of the very gender autonomy the show has the potential to portray. While Transparent undoubtedly increases visibility for gender expansive individuals in the media, and often renders Maura in a sympathetic manner, its pilot season ignores the history of the pathologization of gender expansiveness while often reinforcing “wrong body” rhetoric concerning transgender individuals. Transparent depicts Maura as a dynamic character, yet it also depicts her dispossession that results from sociocultural forces and from her own internalized transphobia (cissexism) as a “normal” part of “coming out”. The authors conclude that exposing the transgender dispossession depicted in Transparent could disrupt the normality of cisgender privilege to open a critical dialogue about the reification of the gender binary in media.

description: We prove an effective upper bound on the number of effective sections of a hermitian line bundle over an arithmetic surface. It is an effective version of the arithmetic Hilbert--Samuel formula in the nef case. As a consequence, we obtain effective lower bounds on the Faltings height and on the self-intersection of the canonical bundle in terms of the number of singular points on fibers of the arithmetic surface.

description:  Purpose: We conducted a scoping review of studies to examine the implementation of interventions to promote adolescent cancer prevention in rural, primary care settings and identify barriers and facilitators. Methods: We followed the JBI scoping review protocol and used a systematic extraction and coding process. Our search of MEDLINE, PsycInfo, Cochrane, CINAHL, and Scopus identified articles related to implementation of interventions in the following areas: obesity, human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, tobacco use, and sun exposure. We used the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), an implementation framework consisting of 5 domains (outer setting, inner setting, intervention characteristics, individual characteristics, process), each with a sub-set of constructs, to classify barriers and facilitators reported. Results: We identified 3046 references, excluded 2969 during initial screening, assessed 74 for full-text eligibility, and abstracted 24. Of these, 17 addressed obesity, 6 addressed HPV vaccination, 1 addressed skin cancer, and 1 addressed multiple behaviors. 10 studies were either non-randomized experimental designs (n=8) or randomized controlled trials (n=2). The remaining were observational or descriptive research. Barriers in the outer setting (e.g., lack of external funding sources, patients' beliefs) and inner setting (e.g., time available for implementation efforts and clinic infrastructure) were most common, compared to the other CFIR domains. Similarly, facilitators in the outer setting (e.g., partnerships with other organizations and parents' trust in health care providers) and inner setting (e.g., efficiency in practice protocols) were commonly reported. Conclusions: Adolescence is a critical growth window to establish healthy behaviors to prevent future cancers. Rural areas have higher rates of cancer morbidity and mortality than urban ones, putting rural adolescents at heightened risk for cancers. Yet, we found a dearth of studies addressing the implementation of adolescent cancer prevention in rural primary care settings. Further research is needed to understand the implementation challenges and potential strategies to improve implementation efforts to promote cancer prevention among rural adolescents.
title: The role of mining in community sustainability in Newfoundland and policy implications: a case study of Baie Verte
Creators: name: Uthman, Rashidatu Mohammed
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2020

description: The island of Newfoundland is very important to the Canadian mining industry. It houses some of Newfoundland and Labrador’s (NL) major mining operations and exploration activities. Commercial mining, which began in 1864 on the island, has historically impacted the sustainability of communities. Using a mixed methods case study approach, the study first employed a three capitals sustainability assessment model, the ‘Telos framework’, to assess the current state of community sustainability in the Town of Baie Verte. The study then examined the impacts of mining on the assessed state of sustainability in Baie Verte and explored the role of government and corporate policies in these impacts.
 The study findings indicate that the Town of Baie Verte has had two mining eras (the old era from1960s-1996, and the new era from 2010-present). The mining operations in the old era, on the one hand, made significant contributions to the economic and socio-cultural capital of Baie Verte, but were environmentally destructive with adverse impacts on health and safety. The mining operations in the new or current era, on the other hand, seem to have good environmental performance so far, but have made fewer contributions to the economic and socio-cultural capitals of Baie Verte compared to the previous era. In terms of the role of policy, overall, both government and corporate policies seem to have played more of an environmental role than an economic or socio-cultural role in enhancing the sustainability of mining communities in NL; but in the case of Baie Verte, corporate policies have made significant socio-economic contributions as well. Two recently launched federal and NL provincial government sustainable mining policy initiatives, namely the Canadian Minerals and Metals Plan (CMMP) and Mining the Future 2030, a Plan for Growth in the NL Mining Industry, have the potential to supplement other existing policies and plans and to enhance the overall sustainability of mining communities in NL, including Baie Verte. In order to achieve this, collaboration will be needed between stakeholders in government, industry, and local communities for implementing these plans.
Topological Protection of Majorana Qubits

description: We study the stability of the topological quantum computation proposals involving Majorana fermions against thermal fluctuations. We use a minimal realistic model of a spinless px+ipy superconductor and consider effect of excited midgap states localized in the vortex core as well as of transitions above the bulk superconducting gap on the quasiparticle braiding, interferometry-based qubit read-out schemes, and quantum coherence of the topological qubits. We find that thermal occupation of the midgap states does not affect adiabatic braiding operations but leads to a reduction in the visibility of the interferometry measurements. We also consider quantum decoherence of topological qubits at finite temperatures and calculate their decay rate which is associated with the change of the fermion parity and, as such, is exponentially suppressed at temperatures well below the bulk excitation gap. Our conclusion is that the Majorana-based topological quantum computing schemes are indeed protected by the virtue of the quantum non-locality of the stored information and the presence of the bulk superconducting gap.

The 2014 serious injuries and total mortalities in the NESG fishery were 128 (coefficient of variation [CV] = 0.27) harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena), 111 (CV = 0.47) short-beaked common dolphins (Delphinus delphis), 10 (CV = 0.66) Atlantic white-sided dolphins (Lagenorhynchus acutus), 917 (CV = 0.14) gray seals (Halichoerus grypus), 390 (CV = 0.39) harbor seals (Phoca vitulina concolor), and 57 (CV = 0.42) harp seals (Pagophilus groenlandicus). The NESG estimates are based on observed bycatch consisting of 28 harbor porpoises, 11 short-beaked common dolphins, 2 Atlantic white-sided dolphins, 159 gray seals, 59 harbor seals, and 9 harp seals. The 2014 serious injuries and total mortalities in the MAG fishery were 22 (CV = 1.03) harbor porpoises, 17 (CV = 0.86) short-beaked common dolphins, 19 (CV = 1.06) harbor seals, and 22 (CV = 1.09) gray seals. The MAG estimates are based on observed bycatch consisting of 1 harbor porpoise, short-beaked common dolphin, harbor seal, and gray seal.

description: If a Hamiltonian is PT symmetric, there are two possibilities: Either the eigenvalues are entirely real, in which case the Hamiltonian is said to be in an unbroken-PT-symmetric phase, or else the eigenvalues are partly real and partly complex, in which case the Hamiltonian is said to be in a broken-PT-symmetric phase. As one varies the parameters of the Hamiltonian, one can pass through the phase transition that separates the unbroken and broken phases. This transition has recently been observed in a variety of laboratory experiments. This paper explains the phase transition in a simple and intuitive fashion and then describes an extremely elementary experiment in which the phase transition is easily observed.

description: One of the frequently stated advantages of neural networks is that they can work effectively with non-normally distributed data. But optimal results are possible with normalized data.In this paper, how normality of the input affects the behaviour of a K-means fast learning artificial neural network(KFLANN) for grouping the data is presented. Basically, the grouping of high dimensional input data is controlled by additional neural network input parameters namely vigilance and tolerance.Neural networks learn faster and give better performance if the input variables are pre-processed before being fed to the input units of the neural network. A common way of dealing with data that is not normally distributed is to perform some form of mathematical transformation on the data that shifts it towards a normal distribution.In a neural network, data preprocessing transforms the data into a format that will be more easily and effectively processed for the purpose of the user. Among various methods, Normalization is one which organizes data for more efficient access. Experimental results on several artificial and synthetic data sets indicate that the groups formed in the data vary with non-normally distributed data and normalized data and also depends on the normalization method used.

description: Auf einen Blick...

Arbeitslosenzahlen der Bundesagentur für Arbeit und Erwerbslosenzahlen basierend auf dem Mikrozensus zeichnen ein unterschiedliches Bild von der Beschäftigungslosigkeit am Ende des Erwerbslebens. Während als erwerbslos im Wesentlichen zählt, wer überhaupt nicht erwerbstätig ist, aber angibt eine Beschäftigung zu suchen, gilt als arbeitslos, wer – auch bei einer Beschäftigung von unter 15 Stunden pro Woche – den Vermittlungsbemühungen der Bundesagentur für Arbeit bzw. der Jobcenter zur Verfügung steht.
Speziell bei der Altersgruppe ab 60 Jahren zeigen sich je nach verwendetem Konzept bei den Daten größere Unterschiede. Seit 2001 liegen bei dieser Altersgruppe die Erwerbslosenzahlen deutlich über den Arbeitslosenzahlen. Offenbar wird ein nicht unbedeutendes Erwerbspersonenpotenzial unter den Älteren gerade jenseits der 60 Jahre durch die Arbeitslosenstatistik 
Der Anstieg der Erwerbstätigenquote unter den – insbesondere weiblichen – Älteren in den vergangen Jahren hat nicht etwa zu einer Absenkung des Anteils von erwerbslosen Älteren geführt, sondern wurde sogar von einem Anstieg des Erwerbslosenanteils begleitet. Abgenommen hat demnach maßgeblich die Zahl der älteren Nichterwerbspersonen. Beschäftigungslosigkeit erstreckt sich inzwischen im größeren Umfang über ein Alter bis jenseits von 60 Jahren, was auch das Ergebnis des Ausstiegs aus der Frühverrentung von Arbeitslosen ist.
Indem die aktive Arbeitsförderung ältere Personen ab 60 Jahren faktisch ausklammert, hat sie sich noch nicht ausreichend auf das veränderte Verhalten Älterer am Arbeitsmarkt, die veränderten Rahmenbedingungen und die Ziele der Bundesregierung eingestellt.
Archegetes oikistes, and new-oikistes : the cults of founders in Greek southern Italy and Sicily
Creators: name: Lane, Christine Sharon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study examines the archaeological, epigraphical, literary, and numismatic evidence for the cults of the founders in the Greek colonies of southern Italy and Sicily. A variety of gods and goddesses were considered to have played a role in the process of colonization; however, Apollo came to be considered the primary god of colonization. The colonists of these overseas settlements were led by the oikistes, who was believed to have been sanctioned by Apollo. Apollo of Delphi's involvement in colonization may have been a later phenomenon, since the ancient sources that refer to him as a god of colonization date to a later period, and the majority of colonization oracles appear to have been 'after the fact.' Regardless, many of the colonies of southern Italy and Sicily were considered to have been founded with Apollo's guidance. While this study found a clear relationship between the religious traditions of the metropolis/metropoleis and the cults of Apollo in the colonies of southern Italy and Sicily, Delphi's influence on the establishment and nature of these cults is more ambiguous. The available evidence indicates that Apollo was not commonly worshipped as a founding god, but rather he was viewed as a symbolic founder of the colony. However, there is evidence that the dead founder-hero, the oikistes, was worshipped in the agora. While the founder cult may have been established early in the history of the colony, the 'burial' of this figure in the agora appears to have been a later phenomenon, perhaps established around 600 BCE. Various rulers, including the Deinomenid tyrants, Dionysius II, and Timoleon, utilized the cult of the founder for political gain, and even projected themselves as new-oikistai.

description: Above- ground dry matter of 49 forest-grown aspen tree s was studied on a 0.02 ha plot in southwestern Alberta (altitude 4,700 ft). This plot was divided into four contiguous quadrats along a topographic gradient. All 49 trees within the plot were harvested and data of dry weights, tree dimensions, caloric contents and leaf area were obtained. Total dry matter of trees on the plot adds up to 77 metric tons/ha. This is equivalent to 3630 x 108 g cal/ha of energy with a leaf area index equal to 1.8. Tree and tree component weights are higher on the more productive downslope quadrat. This trend is also true for the relative proportion of trunk and branch dry weights . The overall low value of biomass obtained in the study area suggests a low productivity of the site. Allometric equations for estimating tree weights from tree dimensions were established for the whole plot and for individual quadrats. These equations are found to be highly correlated, especially when using dbh2 x ht to estimate total t r ee weight and trunk weight, and using diameter at base of crown to estimate dry weights of branches, foliage and total crown. Covariance analyses of these two readily measurable parameters (dbh 2 x ht and diameter at crown base) show that they are also suitable for estimation of tree weight parameters from different segments of a topographic gradient. Equations using dbh to estimate tree weights are not applicable to sites other than the sampling stand described here.

description: We present high-speed photometry and high-resolution spectroscopy of the short-period (Prot = 3.6 h) eclipsing post-common-envelope binary QS Virginis (QS Vir). Our UVES spectra span in excess of 6 orbits, over more than a year, and reveal the presence of several large prominences passing in front of both the M star and its white dwarf (WD) companion. Despite showing small variations on a time-scale of days, they persist for more than a year and may last decades. Roche tomography reveals a heavily spotted M star, with long-lived spots remaining in fixed locations, preferentially found on the hemisphere facing the WD. We find the 14,220 ± 350 K WD is relatively massive at 0.782 ± 0.013 M\(_{\odot}\), with a radius of 0.01068 ± 0.00007 R\(_{\odot}\), consistent with evolutionary models. The tidally distorted M star has a mass of 0.382 ± 0.006 M\(_{\odot}\) and a radius of 0.381 ± 0.003 R\(_{\odot}\), also consistent with evolutionary models. Since the M star’s radius is still within its Roche lobe and there is no evidence that it is overinflated, we conclude that QS Vir is most likely a pre-cataclysmic binary just about to become semidetached.

description: The 2015 Pacific marine mammal stock assessments include revised reports for eight Pacific marine mammal stocks under NMFS jurisdiction, including five “strategic” stocks: Hawaiian monk seal, Southern Resident killer whale, Eastern North Pacific blue whale, Main Hawaiian Islands Insular false killer whale, and Hawaii Pelagic false killer whale. New abundance estimates are available for three stocks in the Pacific Islands region (Hawaiian monk seal, Hawaii Pelagic and Northwestern Hawaiian Islands false killer whales) and two U.S. west coast stocks (Southern Resident killer whale and California northern fur seal). The stock range and boundaries of the three Hawaiian stocks of false killer whales, which have overlapping ranges, were recently reevaluated based on new information on the occurrence and movements of each stock (Bradford et al. 2015). New information on fisheryrelated serious injury and mortality of false killer whales has also been updated. A stock assessment report for the Eastern Tropical Pacific stock of Bryde’s whale has been reinstated into the Pacific reports in response to a regular and increasing presence of this species in southern California waters (Kerosky et al. 2012, Smultea et al. 2012). The Eastern Tropical Pacific Bryde’s whale report last appeared in the Pacific stock assessments in 2007. The genus of Hawaiian monk seal has been updated from Monachus to Neomonachus to reflect recent genetic and skull morphology data (Scheel et al. 2014). The report for Eastern North Pacific blue whales includes significant new information on historic whaling removals, the population’s status relative to carrying capacity, and risk of ship strikes to the population (Monnahan et al. 2014, 2015). This is a working document and individual stock assessment reports will be updated as new information on marine mammal stocks and fisheries becomes available. Background information and guidelines for preparing stock assessment reports are reviewed in Wade and Angliss (1997). The authors solicit any new information or comments which would improve future stock assessment reports.

description: A study of the host stars to exoplanets is important to understanding their environment. To that end, we report new speckle observations of a sample of exoplanet host primaries. The bright exoplanet host HD 8673 (= HIP 6702) is revealed to have a companion, although at this time we cannot definitively establish the companion as physical or optical. The observing lists for planet searches and for these observations have for the most part been pre-screened for known duplicity, so the detected binary fraction is lower than what would otherwise be expected. Therefore, a large number of double stars were observed contemporaneously for verification and quality control purposes, to ensure the lack of detection of companions for exoplanet hosts was valid. In these additional observations, ten pairs are resolved for the first time and sixty pairs are confirmed. These observations were obtained with the USNO speckle camera on the NOAO 4m telescopes at both KPNO and CTIO from 2001 to 2010.

description: Schrödinger (Nature, v.169, 538 (1952)) noted that the complex matter field in the Klein-Gordon equation can be made real by a gauge transform, although charged fields are believed to require complex functions. Surprisingly, the result can be extended to the Dirac equation: three complex components of the Dirac spinor function can be algebraically eliminated, and the remaining component can be made real by a gauge transform. Therefore, the Dirac equation is generally equivalent to one fourth-order partial differential equation for one real function (A. Akhmeteli, J. Math. Phys. v.52, 082303 (2011)). These results both belong in textbooks and can be used for development of new efficient methods of quantum chemistry. The matter field can be algebraically eliminated both in scalar electrodynamics and in spinor electrodynamics in a certain gauge. The resulting equations describe independent dynamics of the electromagnetic field, which permits mathematical simplification and can be useful for interpretation of quantum theory. For example, in the Bohm interpretation, the electromagnetic field can replace the wave function as the guiding field. It is also shown that for these equations, generalized Carleman embedding generates systems of linear equations in the Hilbert space, which look like second-quantized theories and are equivalent to the original nonlinear systems on the set of solutions of the latter. Thus, the relevant local realistic models can be embedded into quantum field theories. These models are equivalent to scalar electrodynamics and spinor electrodynamics, so they correctly describe a large body of experimental data. Although they may need some modifications for better agreement with experiments, they may be of great interest as "no drama quantum theories", as simple (in principle) as classical electrodynamics. Possible issues with the Bell theorem are discussed.

description: The work Carthago Indiarum obsessa, sed non expugnata ("Cartagena de Indias, Assailed but not Captured") is an eighteenth century anonymous poem that celebrates the Spanish victory over the English at Cartagena de Indias during the War of Jenkins’ Ear in 1741. This thesis presents a summary of the battle in order to contextualize the signiﬁcance of the poem. It further presents a literary analysis of the poem’s genre, characteristics, and literary importance, as well as a critical edi-tion, a paraphrase in Latin prose, and a commentary. From analyzing this poem, one can see some ways in which the Latin literary patrimony brought from the ancients pertains to all ages, peoples, and nations.

description: The number of women farmers in the United States is increasing at a substantial rate. Women are fulfilling various roles on the farm and stepping into formal leadership positions in the agricultural community. This study surveys the perception of women reputational leaders in Kentucky agriculture among traditional agricultural leaders, the opportunities available to women in agriculture, the sources empowering women to serve in leadership capacities in agriculture, and how women reputational leaders influence agriculture and agricultural policy in Kentucky. The research revealed that the dynamic of Kentucky agriculture is shifting. Women have made significant strides in agriculture as farmers and professionals, resulting in women assuming formal leadership posts at all levels. Findings indicate there are ample opportunities for women in agriculture to receive informal training and education that will benefit their farm operation, but the programs should be designed solely with women’s needs in mind to be effective. Recommendations for further research include an intersectionality study of Kentucky’s women leaders in agriculture, a study of the potency of the Cooperative Extension Service and post-secondary educational institutions for grooming women leaders, and research to help determine why women tend to seek out volunteer roles in agricultural organizations rather than leadership positions.

Zum anderen werden grundlegende Eigenschaften und Leistungsgrenzen siliziumbasierter Raman-Verstärker und -Laser untersucht. Auf Basis eines neu entwickelten Modells für die nichtlinear gekoppelte Wellenausbreitung in Silizium-Wellenleitern werden neuartige Entwürfe mit verbesserter Effizienz vorgestellt.
description: In this thesis, several new concepts for Raman amplifiers and lasers both in optical fibers and silicon waveguides have been developed, modeled and optimized that have the potential of increasing the performance of fiber-optic communication systems. Designs for Raman fiber lasers with improved efficiency, tunability, and output noise are analyzed. On the other hand, fundamental properties and limitations of silicon-based Raman amplifiers and lasers are investigated. Based on a newly developed comprehensive mathematical model of nonlinearly coupled wave propagation in silicon waveguides, new designs with increased efficiency are proposed.

description: In this paper, we study the photoinduced switching of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center between two different charge states - negative (NV-) and neutral (NV0) at liquid helium temperature. The conversion of NV- to NV0 on a single defect is experimentally proven and its rate scales quadratically with power under resonant excitation. In addition, we found that resonant excitation of the neutral NV changes the charge state, recovering its negative configuration. This type of conversion significantly improves spectral stability of NV- defect and allows high fidelity initialization of the spin qubit. A possible mechanism for ionization and recovery of the NV- defect is discussed. This study provides better understanding of the charge dynamics of the NV center, which is relevant for quantum information processing based on NV defect in diamond.

Characterization of the interaction between NA⁺/H⁺ exchanger isoform 7 (NHE7) and calmodulin (CaM)
Creators: name: Popova, Maria
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Na⁺/H⁺ exchangers (NHEs) are a family of transmembrane antiporters that catalyze the electroneutral exchange of Na⁺ and H⁺. They are primarily involved in regulation of pH and ion homeostasis and are themselves regulated by several signaling pathways, including Ca²⁺ signaling. NHE isoform 7 (NHE7) is activated by increases in intracellular Ca²⁺ , mediated by binding of calmodulin (CaM) to the second intracellular loop (1L2) of NHE7. This interaction between NHE7 1L2 and CaM is unconventional, as NHE7 1L2 is an extremely short CaM-binding site (∼10 amino acids) unlike previously characterized CaM-binding sites. We showed that the NHE7 1L2-CaM interaction is likely pH-independent by means of pulidown assays with GST fusion peptides of NHE7 1L2 and immobilized CaM beads performed under pH 7.3 and pH 5.8. We also showed that the NHE7 1L2-CaM interaction is mediated by positively charged and hydrophobic amino acids by means of pulidown assays with GST fusion peptides of mutant NHE7 1L2 (NHE7 1L2 KKPL, NHE7 1L2 KKRAAA and NHE7 1L2 FFAA) and immobilized CaM beads. The interaction between NHE7 1L2 and CaM has potential for relevance to the nervous system, which is highlighted by the numerous NHE isoforms that have been implicated in neuronal function: NHE1, NHE6 and NHE9. However, much future research needs to be done to elucidate the exact nature of the contribution to physiology and the nervous system of the NHE7-CaM interaction.

description: By means of a Wannier projection within the framework of density functional theory, we are able to identify the modified c-axis hopping and the energy mismatch between the cation bands as the main source of the $t_{2g}$ splitting around the $Γ$ point for oxide heterostructures, excluding previously proposed mechanisms such as Jahn-Teller distortions or electric field asymmetries. Interfacing LaAlO$_3$, LaVO$_3$, SrVO$_3$ and SrNbO$_3$ with SrTiO$_3$ we show how to tune this orbital splitting, designing heterostructures with more $d_{xy}$ electrons at the interface. Such an "orbital engineering" is the key for controlling the physical properties at the interface of oxide heterostructures.

description: We demonstrate control over the spin state of a semiconductor quantum dot exciton using a polarized picosecond laser pulse slightly detuned from a biexciton resonance. The control pulse follows an earlier pulse, which generates an exciton and initializes its spin state as a coherent superposition of its two non-degenerate eigenstates. The control pulse preferentially couples one component of the exciton state to the biexciton state, thereby rotating the exciton's spin direction. We detect the rotation by measuring the polarization of the exciton spectral line as a function of the time-difference between the two pulses. We show experimentally and theoretically how the angle of rotation depends on the detuning of the second pulse from the biexciton resonance.

description: Dockerizing web servers has gained significant popularity due to its lightweight containerization approach, enabling rapid and efficient deployment of web services. However, the security of web server containers remains a critical concern. This study proposes a novel approach to enhance the security of Docker-based web servers using bpftrace to trace Nginx and Apache containers under attack, identifying abnormal syscalls, connections, shared library calls, and file accesses from normal ones. The gathered metrics are used to generate tailored AppArmor profiles for improved mandatory access control policies and enhanced container security. BPFtrace is a high-level tracing language allowing for real-time analysis of system events. This research introduces an innovative method for generating AppArmor profiles by utilizing BPFtrace to monitor system alerts, creating customized security policies tailored to the specific needs of Docker-based web servers. Once the profiles are generated, the web server container is redeployed with enhanced security measures in place. This approach increases security by providing granular control and adaptability to address potential threats. The evaluation of the proposed method is conducted using CVE’s found in the open source literature affecting nginx and apache web servers that correspond to the classification system that was created. The Apache and Nginx containers was attacked with Metasploit, and benchmark tests including ltrace evaluation in accordance with existing literature were conducted. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in mitigating security risks and strengthening the overall security posture of Docker-based web servers. This is achieved by limiting memcpy and memset shared library calls identified using bpftrace and applying rlimits in 9 AppArmor to limit their rate to normal levels (as gauged during testing) and deny other harmful file accesses and syscalls. The study’s findings contribute to the growing body of knowledge on container security and offer valuable insights for practitioners aiming to develop more secure web server deployments using Docker.

description: We consider an integro-differential model for evolutionary game theory which describes the evolution of a population adopting mixed strategies. Using a reformulation based on the first moments of the solution, we prove some analytical properties of the model and global estimates. The asymptotic behavior and the stability of solutions in the case of two strategies is analyzed in details. Numerical schemes for two and three strategies which are able to capture the correct equilibrium states are also proposed together with several numerical examples.
