Anlaytic mean-field Hall crystal solution at nu=1/3: composite fermion like sub-bands and correlation effects

description: An analytic solution of the Hartree-Fock problem for a 2DEG at filling 1/3 and half an electron per unit cell is presented. The Coulomb interaction dynamically breaks the first Landau level in three narrow sub-bands, one of which is fully occupied and the other empty, as in the composite fermion model. The localized orbitals associated to the Bloch like single electron wavefunctions are nearly static, resembling the angular momentum eigenstates within a Landau level for non-interacting fermions. Strong correlations are expected owing to the large charge density overlap between neighboring plaquettes. A numerical evaluation brings the cohesive energy close to that of the best present day models. It is also found that correlations are long range, requiring over 50 particles spread over a finite sample to approach convergence. Since presently allowed exact calculations are far from this number, the question of how relevant the considered wave-function is for the description of the ground state of the 2DEG system remains open.

description: Event cameras are a new camera technology inspired by biological vision. Instead of producing frames like a normal camera, each pixel is able to send neural spikes (called events) independently and asynchronously, just like the visual receptors in your eye. This has huge advantages for robot vision, since event cameras are fast, low power, don't have motion blur, and have high dynamic range. Processing such data is a challenge that this thesis helps overcome, by using cutting edge artificial neural networks, machine learning, and optimisation techniques to estimate motion and reconstruct video with near-infinite framerate from the events.
Medical assistance in dying: the role of the nurse practitioner
Creators: name: Derpak, Carly Kristine
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) is the Canadian response to the enduring debate over euthanasia. Canada is the first country to permit Nurse Practitioners (NPs) to provide these services. This culminating project addressed the problem of limited overall knowledge of MAiD and provided evidence-based arguments for the increased role and need of NPs providing MAiD services. A scoping literature review was completed, and results were evaluated utilizing the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools. Results provided an overview of the historical, legal and procedural related background of MAiD. Despite thousands of years of legal, medical, philosophical, and theological deliberations, euthanasia remains a controversial and unresolved concept. An objective outline on the main contentious ethical issues such as mental illness, mature minors, contentious objection and advanced directives was provided. Barriers were looked at such as geography and compensation for MAiD, alongside accompanied solutions. Procedural details were summarised including documentation and medications. Lastly, the role of nurse practitioners was discussed providing evidence that their skills and knowledge suits the provision of MAiD services.

description: Labor migration is a pervasive feature of life in contemporary Myanmar, but has been the subject of only limited research to date. Furthermore, most of this work has focused on international migrants, leaving internal migration comparatively understudied. This brief addresses this gap by exploring the characteristics of migrants and migration in four townships (Kayan, Maubin, Nyaungdon, and Twantay) located close to Myanmar’s primate city, Yangon. For comparative purposes, a representative sample of 1102 households was interviewed in May 2016, in two groups of village tracts: an aquaculture cluster characterized by high concentrations of fish farms, and agriculture cluster, where crop farming is the predominant agricultural activity.

description: Recent evidence suggests that the mechanization of agriculture is proceeding rapidly in areas of Myanmar close to the country’s major city, Yangon, as farmers - driven by the need to remain profitable in the face of labor shortages and rising wage rates - adopt a variety of labor saving technologies (Win and Thinzar 2016). In this brief, we present findings from the first survey in Myanmar to analyze the supply side of agricultural mechanization. We find evidence of rapid growth in the number, geographical distribution, and sales of agricultural machinery supply businesses. The range and value of machinery sold accelerated rapidly, especially post-2011 as the country opened economically. New hire-purchase financing arrangements for machinery played a key role in facilitating this growth.

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: This is the first of a couple of papers in which, by exploiting the capabilities of the Hamiltonian approach to general relativity, we get a number of technical achievements that are instrumental both for a disclosure of \emph{new} results concerning specific issues, and for new insights about \emph{old} foundational problems of the theory. The first paper includes: 1) a critical analysis of the various concepts of symmetry related to the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian viewpoint on the one hand, and to the Hamiltonian viewpoint, on the other. This analysis leads, in particular, to a re-interpretation of {\it active} diffeomorphisms as {\it passive and metric-dependent} dynamical symmetries of Einstein's equations, a re-interpretation which enables to disclose the (nearly unknown) connection of a subgroup of them to Hamiltonian gauge transformations {\it on-shell}; 2) a re-visitation of the canonical reduction of the ADM formulation of general relativity, with particular emphasis on the geometro-dynamical effects of the gauge-fixing procedure, which amounts to the definition of a \emph{global (non-inertial) space-time laboratory}. This analysis discloses the peculiar \emph{dynamical nature} that the traditional definition of distant simultaneity and clock-synchronization assume in general relativity, as well as the {\it gauge relatedness} of the "conventions" which generalize the classical Einstein's convention.

Στόχος της εργασίας είναι (α) να θέσει αυτή τη θέση υπό έλεγχο επικεντρώνοντας στις βυζαντινές δημώδεις μυθιστορίες και (β) να διαβάσει τις μυθιστορίες ως λογοτεχνικά κείμενα με αυτοσυνείδηση.

Στο Δεύτερο κεφάλαιο, επικεντρωνόμαστε στις δημώδεις ερωτικές μυθιστορίες του Βυζαντίου. Εντοπίζουμε τέσσερα βασικά συναισθήματα που επανέρχονται (έρωτας, θλίψη, εμψύχωση, και μία επαναλαμβανόμενη εκστατική κατάσταση που ονομάζουμε «ακρότητα συναισθήματος» κι εκφράζεται με τη λιποθυμία του ήρωα) κι αναλύουμε τον τρόπο αναπαράστασής τους και τη λογοτεχνική τους λειτουργία. Στο Τρίτο κεφάλαιο παρουσιάζονται τα συμπεράσματα, όπου υποστηρίζεται ότι, εν τέλει, η έντονη συναισθηματικότητα αυτών των κειμένων αποτελεί μία έκφραση ανθρωπισμού και προωθεί μία αξιοσημείωτη έγνοια για την ανθρώπινη κατάσταση
description: The present thesis sets out to challenge an enduring belief in the reception of Medieval culture, namely that the Middle Ages was a historical period characterized by overt sentimentality and thus extreme irrationality. The aim of the paper is to (a) review this belief by focusing on the byzantine vernacular literature and (b) read the vernacular romances as literary texts displaying their own set of literary features as well as moments of literary self-consciousness. Chapter One presents influential theories about emotions developed by notable historians throughout the late 19th and 20th century. Chapter Two focuses on the byzantine vernacular romances. We single out four recurrent emotional states (namely; love, sorrow, sense of encouragement and an ecstatic emotional situation which manifests through the protagonist’s fainting) and look into their literary function in the text. Chapter Three presents a set of conclusions, where we argue that the intense sentimentality of these texts could be perceived as an expression of early humanism and a noteworthy and elaborate concern for the human condition

description: A new and rapid dispersive solid phase extraction method by using a green-synthesised UiO-66(Zr)-(COOH)2 (Zr-BTeC) adsorbent with body-centred cubic (bcu) topology was developed for determination of tartrazine in food samples. Zr-BTeC was used for the first time as an adsorbent for tartrazine. It was synthesised and characterised by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area analysis, and zeta potential measurements. Tartrazine was determined at 405 nm spectrophotometrically. Experimental conditions were optimised in order to achieve quantitative recoveries. The sample acidity was found to be 0.02 mol L−1 HCl. The amount of Zr-BTeC was 10 mg. Both adsorption and elution contact times were only 5 s without the need for vortexing. Elution was with 2 mL of 0.5 mol L−1 NH3. A sample volume of 45 mL was selected as optimum. The adsorption capacity for tartrazine with Zr-BTeC was found to be 185 mg g−1 and the adsorbent was reusable up to 40 cycles. The tartrazine concentrations found by the developed method in food supplements were compared with the results obtained by HPLC method for the same samples. Statistical analysis results showed that there are insignificant differences between the results of the two methods (p = .05). The method was successfully applied to the determination of tartrazine in spiked chewing gums, lemon flavoured icing glaze, and jelly samples.

description: We analyze planar electromagnetic waves confined by a slab waveguide formed by two perfect electrical conductors. Remarkably, 2D Maxwell equations describing transverse electromagnetic modes in such waveguides are exactly mapped onto equations for acoustic waves in fluids or gases. We show that interfaces between two slab waveguides with opposite-sign permeabilities support 1D edge modes, analogous to surface acoustic plasmons at interfaces with opposite-sign mass densities. We analyze this novel type of edge modes for the cases of isotropic media and anisotropic media with tensor permeabilities (including hyperbolic media). We also take into account `non-Hermitian' edge modes with imaginary frequencies or/and propagation constants. Our theoretical predictions are feasible for optical and microwave experiments involving 2D metamaterials.

description: Myanmar has high levels of landlessness and an uneven distribution of land among landed households, despite an abundance of land per head of population relative to other countries in the region. Land is a central issue in the post-2016 policy landscape, and efforts to provide restitution for widespread land confiscations that occurred during the period of military rule forms a major pillar of the current government’s governance agenda. In this research highlight, we present analysis of agricultural land use, distribution, access, tenure, land markets, and historical patterns of ownership and disposal. Findings are derived from a representative survey of 1578 rural households in Myanmar’s Central Dry Zone - the Rural Economy and Agriculture Dry Zone Survey (READZ). The READZ survey was conducted from April to May 2017 in four townships (Magway, Pwinbyu, Myittha, and Budalin) in Magway, Mandalay and Sagaing regions. The main two farmland categories present in the areas surveyed are lowland (paddy land; le), and ‘upland’ (ya). Lowland can be subdivided into rain-fed and irrigated lowland, and is utilized primarily for paddy cultivation. Mainly non-paddy crops are cultivated on upland, which is primarily rainfed. Upland is dominant in terms of area, but generally less fertile than lowland. Where appropriate, we disaggregate our analysis by agricultural landholding terciles. In order to derive terciles, farm households were ranked by size in ascending order and divided into three equal groups. Thus, landholding tercile 1 is the third of farms with the smallest agricultural holdings, tercile 3 the third with the largest holdings, and tercile 2 is intermediate.

description: Cold atomic hydrogen clouds are the precursors of molecular clouds. Due to self-absorption, the opacity of cold atomic hydrogen may be high, and this gas may constitute an important mass component of the interstellar medium (ISM). Atomic hydrogen gas can be cooled to temperatures much lower than found in the cold neutral medium (CNM) through collisions with molecular hydrogen. In this paper, we search for HI Narrow Self-Absorption (HINSA) features in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) as an indicator of such cold HI clouds, and use the results to quantify atomic masses and atomic-to-molecular gas ratio. Our search for HINSA features was conducted towards molecular clouds in the LMC using the ATCA+Parkes HI survey and the MAGMA CO survey. HINSA features are prevalent in the surveyed sightlines. This is the first detection of HINSA in an external galaxy. The HINSA-HI/$\rm{H}_{2}$ ratio in the LMC varies from 0.5\e{-3} to 3.4\e{-3} (68\% interval), with a mean value of $(1.31 \pm 0.03)$\e{-3}, after correcting for the effect of foreground HI gas. This is similar to the Milky Way value and indicates that similar fractions of cold gas exist in the LMC and the Milky Way, despite their differing metallicities, dust content and radiation fields. The low ratio also confirms that, as with the Milky Way, the formation timescale of molecular clouds is short. The ratio shows no radial gradient, unlike the case for stellar metallicity. No correlation is found between our results and those from previous HI absorption studies of the LMC.

description: This research highlight presents findings on access to and use of agricultural credit by farm households in Myanmar’s Central Dry Zone. Data was collected by the Rural Economy Agriculture Dry Zone Survey (READZ). READZ was implemented during March to May 2017 with 1578 rural households in the townships of Budalin, Myittha, Magway and Pwinbyu. Results presented here are based on responses from a subsample of 1066 households engaged in agriculture. We analyze access to, terms and utilization of agricultural loans from the Myanmar Agricultural Development Bank (MADB) and other sources over the 12 months preceding the survey. For our analysis, farm households were ranked by area of agricultural land owned, and divided into three equal groups. The smallest third of farms is referred to as agricultural landholding tercile 1 and the largest as tercile 3.

description: Starting from Bloch equation for a canonical ensemble, we deduce a set of hierarchy equations for the reduced statistical density operator for an identical many-body system with two-body interaction. They provide a law according to which the reduced density operator varies in temperature. By definition of the reduced density operator in Fock space for a grand canonical ensemble, we also obtain the analogous Bloch equation and the corresponding hierarchy reduced equations for the identical interacting many-body system. We discuss their possible solutions and applications.

description: We present resolved [CI] line intensities of 18 nearby galaxies observed with the SPIRE FTS spectrometer on the Herschel Space Observatory. We use these data along with resolved CO line intensities from $J_\mathrm{up} = 1$ to 7 to interpret what phase of the interstellar medium the [CI] lines trace within typical local galaxies. A tight, linear relation is found between the intensities of the CO(4-3) and [CI](2-1) lines; we hypothesize this is due to the similar upper level temperature of these two lines. We modeled the [CI] and CO line emission using large velocity gradient models combined with an empirical template. According to this modeling, the [CI](1-0) line is clearly dominated by the low-excitation component. We determine [CI] to molecular mass conversion factors for both the [CI](1-0) and [CI](2-1) lines, with mean values of $α_{\mathrm{[CI](1-0)}} = 7.3$ M$_{\mathrm{sun}}$ K$^{-1}$ km$^{-1}$ s pc$^{-2}$ and $α_{\mathrm{[CI](2-1)}} = 34 $ M$_{\mathrm{sun}}$ K$^{-1}$ km$^{-1}$ s pc$^{-2}$ with logarithmic root-mean-square spreads of 0.20 and 0.32 dex, respectively. The similar spread of $α_{\mathrm{[CI](1-0)}}$ to $α_{\mathrm{CO}}$ (derived using the CO(2-1) line) suggests that [CI](1-0) may be just as good a tracer of cold molecular gas as CO(2-1) in galaxies of this type. On the other hand, the wider spread of $α_{\mathrm{[CI](2-1)}}$ and the tight relation found between [CI](2-1) and CO(4-3) suggest that much of the [CI](2-1) emission may originate in warmer molecular gas.

The results show that superconducting gaps with values of 5.5 meV and 2.2 meV open on the s-band and the p-band, respectively, but both the gaps close at the bulk transition temperature, providing a definitive experimental evidence for the two-band superconductivity in MgB2. The experiments validate the role of k-dependent electron-phonon coupling as the origin of multiple-gap superconductivity in MgB2.

description: Objective. The focus of this study is on changes in the strength of relations among four types of paternal behaviors (supportive presence, respect for autonomy, stimulation, and hostility) from early childhood through middle childhood. Design. Father-child interaction was observed for 718 dyads at four time periods: 54 months (M = 56 months), 1st grade (M = 7.0 years), 3rd grade (M = 9.0 years), and 5th grade (M = 11.0 years) using similar and age-appropriate observational paradigms. Results. The association between paternal supportive presence and respect for autonomy grew stronger with age. Supportive presence showed a moderate relation with stimulation at 54 months; but this association became weaker over time. A similar pattern of weakening association emerged in the relation between respect for autonomy and stimulation. Both supportive presence and respect for autonomy showed a continuing robust negative association with hostility. Finally, the relation between hostility and stimulation became stronger over time. Conclusions. There appears to be an evolving dialectic in the organization of paternal behavior during interactions with offspring, with some relations strengthening and others becoming weaker. Critically, the bonds fathers have with their children in early childhood tend to remain firm through middle childhood, with paternal support less often reflecting itself in directly teaching a child but more often in showing respect for the child’s growing independence.

description: Milk as a major commodity derived from animal production is the input of the processing industry, from which a number of products form a substantial part of the population's diet. Milk and dairy products are part of a food chain terminated by consumers for which the price is a criterion of availability. The paper studies the agri- food supply chain of milk production. Paper examine development of the farm-gate, retail and consumer prices of milk and dairy products in the time horizon 2006-2016. Paper examines through a regression and correlation analysis the dependence between the prices of all three stages of the supply chain and determines whether the price-dependence of the production, retailer and consumer prices are statistically significant. If dependence will be confirmed, paper quantifies these dependencies more accurately.

Type species Megadrypta mirabilis sp. n. by monotypy.
Etymology. Prefix “ Mega -“ refers to the unusual large size of the only known species, and Drypta to the nominotypical genus of the tribe.
Diagnosis. This new genus can be easily distinguished from all the other known genera by the combination of: pronotal lateral bead well marked (fig. 12), tarsal claws smooth, completely reduced humera and hind wings, smooth stylomere (fig. 4) and presence of 7 to 8 periscutellar pores on elytra; pronotum very elongate, constricted near anterior margin and near base, with elevated median part along median line, antennae rather short, with antennomere 1 nearly as long as the sum of antennomeres 2–7 together.
Systematic notes. The systematic position of this genus is in our opinion near the genera Nesiodrypta and Prionodrypta. These three genera, in fact, share two important characters, namely the lateral margins of pronotum completely beaded and the stylomere much longer and more curved, with at most one small setae on each side, beyond the claws completely smooth. The occurrence of these two characters seem to us to suggest a true relationship among these three genera. Jeannel alone (1949) had noticed the relationship between Nesiodrypta and Prionodrypta, not followed by any subsequent author. The discovery of Megadrypta is certainly unexpected, but this genus seems to fit into the group, possibly of Gondwanian origin, including the other two above-mentioned genera.

Using pedagogical document to build early childhood educator capacity to support children's outdoor play experiences
Creators: name: Hatten, Cheryl
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: In this capstone project, I explore using pedagogical documentation to build ECE educator capacity to support children’s outdoor play experiences. Outdoor play experiences are declining, and this is a source for numerous physical and emotional health concerns. Research indicates unstructured play, and in particular, outdoor risky play, has numerous benefits, including increased social opportunities, increased activity levels, and positive mental and physical health outcomes. ECE educators are in a position to promote opportunities for children’s outdoor play experiences; however, many educators are unsure of their role and may require further education to discover how to support such experiences. In this project, I address the following questions (1) In what ways can ECE educators transform their understanding of the philosophy behind outdoor play into their daily practices? And (2) In what ways can the use of pedagogical documentation support ECE educators as they develop strategies for supporting children’s outdoor play experiences? I draw on social constructivism, and Vygotsky’s notion of the zone of proximal development (ZPD) to explore learning as a social process occurring within a social context. I explore pedagogical documentation as professional development, reflective practice, and a means to promote theory-practice transfer. In connecting the review of this literature with practice, I developed an Outdoor play Support Plan for use with in-service ECE educators with content related to outdoor play benefits and delivered using pedagogical documentation principles. Based on the findings of this review, I recommend further study on the benefits of pedagogical documentation for both pre- and in-service ECE educators.

description: We study how prenatal maternal stress, caused by sustained seismic activity, affects birth outcomes in Chile during the period 2011-2015. A mother-fixed-effect model together with the spatiotemporal variation of earthquakes in Chile allow us to deal with identification issues that have obscured previous estimates. Our findings show that prenatal maternal stress seems to affect fetal growth, because infants born to mothers exposed to earth tremors in early and/or mid gestation are more likely to be large for gestational age. The estimates suggest that relatively poorer Chilean mothers are more vulnerable to earthquakes, because their babies seem to drive the reported impacts on fetal growth. We discuss and provide evidence that suggests a possible mechanism that explains the varying results across socioeconomic status. Mothers with diabetes and/or hypertension are more likely to have large-for-gestational-age babies. Exposure to earth tremors seems to increase the incidence of these afflictions among the affected population, with the observed impact on diabetes being relatively higher among women with lower socio-economic status.

description: In CLEAN (Cryogenic Low Energy Astrophysics with Noble gases), a proposed neutrino and dark matter detector, background discrimination is possible if one can determine the location of an ionizing radiation event with high accuracy. We simulate ionizing radiation events that produce multiple scintillation photons within a spherical detection volume filled with liquid neon. We estimate the radial location of a particular ionizing radiation event based on the observed count data corresponding to that event. The count data are collected by detectors mounted at the spherical boundary of the detection volume. We neglect absorption, but account for Rayleigh scattering. To account for wavelength-shifting of the scintillation light, we assume that photons are absorbed and re-emitted at the detectors. Here, we develop spatial Maximum Likelihood methods for event reconstruction, and study their performance in computer simulation experiments. We also study a method based on the centroid of the observed count data. We calibrate our estimates based on training data.
