description: We show that most of the genus-zero subgroups of the braid group $\mathbb{B}_3$ (which are roughly the braid monodromy groups of the trigonal curves on the Hirzebruch surfaces) are irrelevant as far as the Alexander invariant is concerned: there is a very restricted class of \enquote{primitive} genus-zero subgroups such that these subgroups and their genus-zero intersections determine all the Alexander invariants. Then, we classify the primitive subgroups in a special subclass. This result implies the known classification of the dihedral covers of irreducible trigonal curves.

description: The large-group behavior of the non-local two dimensional generalized Yang-Mills theories (nlgYM$_2$'s) on arbitrary closed non-orientable surfaces is investigated. It is shown that all order of $ϕ^{2k}$ model of these theories have thired order phase transition only on projective plane (RP$^2$). Also the phase structure of $ϕ^2 + \fracγ{4}ϕ^4$ model of nlgYM$_2$ is studied and it is found that for $γ>0$, this model has third order phase transition only on RP$^2$ and for $γ<0$ it has third order phase transition on any closed non-orientable surfaces except RP$^2$ and Klein bottel.

description: This paper provides new estimates of the return on capital employed (ROCE) for major British railway companies. It shows that ROCE was generally below the cost of capital after the mid-1870s and fell till the turn of the century. Addressing cost inefficiency issues could have restored ROCE to an adequate level in the late 1890s but not in 1910. Declines in ROCE hit share prices and investors made little or no money in real terms after 1897. Optimal portfolio analysis shows that, whilst railway securities were attractive to investors before this date, they would have been justified in rushing to the exits thereafter.

description: Motivated by recent development in quantum entanglement, we study relations among concurrence $C$, SU$_q$(2) algebra, quantum phase transition and correlation length at the zero temperature for the XXZ chain. We find that at the SU(2) point, the ground state possess the maximum concurrence. When the anisotropic parameter $Δ$ is deformed, however, its value decreases. Its dependence on $Δ$ scales as $C=C_0-C_1(Δ-1)^2$ in the XY metallic phase and near the critical point (i.e. $1

description: We present experiments on slow granular flows in a modified (split-bottomed) Couette geometry in which wide and tunable shear zones are created away from the sidewalls. For increasing layer heights, the zones grow wider (apparently without bound) and evolve towards the inner cylinder according to a simple, particle-independent scaling law. After rescaling, the velocity profiles across the zones fall onto a universal master curve given by an error function. We study the shear zones also inside the material as function of both their local height and the total layer height.

description: Numerical methods have allowed the construction of vacuum non-uniform strings. For sufficient non-uniformity, the local geometry about the minimal horizon sphere (the "waist") was conjectured to be a cone metric. We are able to test this conjecture explicitly giving strong evidence in favour of it. We also show how to extend the conjecture to weakly charged strings.

The duration of economic expansions and recessions: More than duration dependence

description: One widespread idea in the business cycles literature is that the older is an expansion or contraction, the more likely it is to end. This paper tries to provide further empirical support for this idea of positive duration dependence and, at the same time, control for the effects of other factors like leading indicators, the duration of the previous phase, investment, price of oil and external influences on the duration of expansions and contractions. This study employs for the first time a discrete-time duration model to analyse the impact of those variables on the likelihood of an expansion and contraction ending for a group of industrial countries over the last fifty years. The evidence provided in this paper suggests that the duration of expansions and contractions is not only dependent on their actual age: the duration of expansions is also positively dependent on the behaviour of the variables in the OECD composite leading indicator and on private investment, and negatively affected by the price of oil and by the occurrence of a peak in the US business cycle; the duration of a contraction is negatively affected by its actual age and by the duration of the previous expansion.

description: Barriers to international trade are known to be large but due to data limitations it is hard to measure them directly for a large number of countries over many years. To address this problem I derive a micro-founded measure of bilateral trade costs that indirectly infers trade frictions from observable trade data. I show that this trade cost measure is consistent with a broad range of leading trade theories including Ricardian and heterogeneous …rms models. In an application I show that U.S. trade costs with major trading partners declined on average by about 40 percent between 1970 and 2000, with Mexico and Canada experiencing the biggest reductions.

description: Recent claims point out that possible violations of Lorentz symmetry appearing in some semiclassical models of extended matter dynamics motivated by loop quantum gravity can be removed by a different choice of canonically conjugated variables. In this note we show that such alternative is inconsistent with the choice of variables in the underlying quantum theory together with the semiclassical approximation, as long as the correspondence principle is maintained. A consistent choice will violate standard Lorentz invariance. Thus, to preserve a relativity principle in this framework, the linear realization of Lorentz symmetry should be extended or superseded.

description: The growing use of IoT devices in organizations has increased the number of attack vectors available to attackers due to the less secure nature of the devices. The widely adopted bring your own device (BYOD) policy which allows an employee to bring any IoT device into the workplace and attach it to an organization's network also increases the risk of attacks. In order to address this threat, organizations often implement security policies in which only the connection of white-listed IoT devices is permitted. To monitor adherence to such policies and protect their networks, organizations must be able to identify the IoT devices connected to their networks and, more specifically, to identify connected IoT devices that are not on the white-list (unknown devices). In this study, we applied deep learning on network traffic to automatically identify IoT devices connected to the network. In contrast to previous work, our approach does not require that complex feature engineering be applied on the network traffic, since we represent the communication behavior of IoT devices using small images built from the IoT devices network traffic payloads. In our experiments, we trained a multiclass classifier on a publicly available dataset, successfully identifying 10 different IoT devices and the traffic of smartphones and computers, with over 99% accuracy. We also trained multiclass classifiers to detect unauthorized IoT devices connected to the network, achieving over 99% overall average detection accuracy.

description: A demand based theory of sub-national debt bailouts is presented. It is shown that revenue sharing (RS) arrangements alter the demand for bailouts among politicians with regional constituencies as a bailout usually implies a shift of taxation to the federal tier. Automatic RS may lead to the formation of pro-bailout coalitions formed by indebted states and states that are net recipients of the RS arrangement. Also, RS can act as a commitment device for compensating payments among state representatives, making a bailout politically rational. The model shows that the state debt bailouts approved by the Brazilian Senate prior to the enactment of the Fiscal Responsibility Act were fully consistent with politicians that maximize the proceeds accruing to their constituencies.

description: This paper tackles polysyndeton, which is one of the figures of speech, as a case of a grammatical deviation in Shakespeare’s play Othello. Deviation is contrary to the normal norm that is expected to be followed in speaking or writing. Polysyndeton is the excessive use of conjunctions in the sentences: when a writer or speaker utilizes a lot of conjunctions so as to join words together instead of joining the last one, which is the norm. The paper analyses some polysyndetic examples extracted from Shakespeare’s Othello as far as grammatical deviation is concerned. Overusing polysyndeton, Shakespeare deviates from the grammatical rule that reads: there should be a conjunction merely before the last item when every item is coordinated by a conjunction. This kind of deviation is intentionally used in the play for stylistic purposes to achieve some functions such as slowing down the rhythm of the utterances, adding cadence to them, balancing the polysyndetic items, showing a character's lack of grammar, and cultivating surprise and enthusiasm in the audience.

These other two representations are relevant to some current photon experiments in quantum optics. In addition, the latter is useful for us to extract the information on the quantized black holes. The framework and approach presented here are also applicable to other particles with arbitrary mass and spin, such as the particle with spin 1/2.

description: This paper proposes a hybrid methodology for analysing the causal relations between public transportation development, tourism and land use by combining System Dynamics (SD) with Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and agent-based modelling (ABM). It is applied to illustrate the quantitative and spatial effect of the two phases Light Rail Transit (LRT) development in Asia New Bay Area, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. This paper also furthers the application of the ABM spatial information as interactive variables in the stocks-flow model. The simulation results support that development policies of LRT are significant to the future tourism in Asia New Bay Area, while the under debate second phase of LRT is estimated to raise the number of visitors in long term by alleviating the deteriorating road traffic congestion. This policy-oriented simulation can serve as a reference to the decision-makers towards the future management of LRT.

The Örm that completes the second phase of the race Örst obtains a patent on the Önal innnovation and enjoys its proÖts. We ask whether patent protection for the innovator of the research tool is beneÖcial from the ex ante point of view. We show that there is a range of values of the final innovation such that Örms prefer to have no Intellectual Property Rights for research tools.

description: This paper generalises the monthly seasonal unit root tests of Franses (1991) for a heterogeneous panel following the work of Im, Pesaran, and Shin (2003), which we refer to as the F-IPS tests. The paper presents the mean and variance necessary to yield a standard normal distribution for the tests, for di§erent number of time observations, T, and lag lengths. However, these tests are only applicable in the absence of cross-sectional dependence. Two alternative methods for modifying these F-IPS tests in the presence of cross-sectional dependency are presented: the Örst is the cross-sectionally augmented test, denoted CF-IPS, following Pesaran (2007), the other is a bootstap method, denoted BF-IPS. In general, the BF-IPS tests have greater power than the CF-IPS tests, although for large T and high degree of cross-sectional dependency the CF-IPS test dominates the BF-IPS test.

description: In this paper, we study three prototypical models of noncooperative oligopoly in markets with a continuum of traders: the model of Cournot-Walras equilibrium of Codognato and Gabszewicz (1991), the model of Cournot-Nash equilibrium of Lloyd S. Shapley, and the model of Cournot-Walras equilibrium of Busetto et al. (2008). We argue that these models are all distinct and only the Shapley’s model with a continuum of traders and atoms gives an endogenous explanation of the perfectly and imperfectly competitive behavior of agents in a one-stage setting. For this model, we prove a theorem of existence of a Cournot-Nash equilibrium.

description: To meet the food security and health needs of the UBC Campus Community, our team of LFS 450 students researched into the development of food skills on campus in conjunction with the UBC Food Systems Project’s goals towards campus food system sustainability. Our primary objectives were to discover what food skills development related resources were being offered to campus residents at present and to examine what food skills related programming, infrastructure, and resources were desired by campus resource representatives. Through an initial literature review, we formed a working definition of food skills into three components: food knowledge, food practices, and food perception & conceptualization. With these pillars of food skills in mind, our team conducted semistructured interviews with various campus resources related to food or food skill programming. These campus resources included (but were not limited to) student clubs, student residences, the UBC Farm, AMS Food Services, and many more. In our research analysis, we searched for general trends common to the campus resources we interviewed and came up with the following interpretations: campus resources differed in their perception of food skills, most campus resources were heavily student and volunteer based, there was a lack of communication between campus resources, and a general lack of kitchen infrastructure, space, or human resources for more effective programming. For our recommendations, we suggest creating a common hub to connect all campus resources together whether physically or online, hire a main coordinator to organize the common hub for consistency of programming, implement effective advertising to promote campus resources to campus residents, and implement food skills development workshops into LFS 100 as a pilot project in explicitly promoting food skills development for first year students. For future LFS 450 research teams, we recommend looking into gathering more information on non-student campus resources pertaining to food skills or community engagement and also conducting focus group interviews with the UBC student demographic to confirm which food skills are lacking in the UBC student population.

description: In the paper "Isoperimetry of waists and local versus global asymptotic convex geometries", it was proved that the existence of nicely bounded sections of two symmetric convex bodies K and L implies that the intersection of randomly rotated K and L is nicely bounded. In this appendix, we achieve a polynomial bound on the diameter of that intersection (in the ratio of the dimensions of the sections).
Dynamics of a nanoparticle as a one-spin system and beyond

description: We review some recent results beyond the now established theory of magnetization switching of a nanoparticle within the single-spin approximation. The first extension is that of the Stoner-Wohlfarth model for magnetization static switching under applied magnetic field including the effect of temperature at long-time scales. The second concerns a generalization of the Néel-Brown model for thermoactivated dynamic magnetization switching to include the effect of exchange interaction in the framework of Langer's theory in the intermediate-to-high damping limit. We finally argue why the single-spin approximation is not appropriate for very small nanoparticles.

description: We present the first lattice QCD calculation of the charm quark contribution to the nucleon electromagnetic form factors $G^c_{E,M}(Q^2)$ in the momentum transfer range $0\leq Q^2 \leq 1.4$ $\rm GeV^2$. The quark mass dependence, finite lattice spacing and volume corrections are taken into account simultaneously based on the calculation on three gauge ensembles including one at the physical pion mass. The nonzero value of the charm magnetic moment $μ^c_M=-0.00127(38)_{\rm stat}(5)_{\rm sys}$, as well as the Pauli form factor, reflects a nontrivial role of the charm sea in the nucleon spin structure. The nonzero $G^c_{E}(Q^2)$ indicates the existence of a nonvanishing asymmetric charm-anticharm sea in the nucleon. Performing a nonperturbative analysis based on holographic QCD and the generalized Veneziano model, we study the constraints on the $[c(x)-\bar{c}(x)]$ distribution from the lattice QCD results presented here. Our results provide complementary information and motivation for more detailed studies of physical observables that are sensitive to intrinsic charm and for future global analyses of parton distributions including asymmetric charm-anticharm distribution.

description: Lightning talk presented at the Medical Library Association Annual Conference, Toronto, ON. Presented on 05/09/2016.
description: Objective: Over the past year, our library implemented a cohesive set of services around research evaluation and impact assessment, formally structured in the library as the Metrics and Impact Core (MIC). Many of the services utilize the library's expertise in bibliographic data, which can be mined, analyzed and visualized using a variety of techniques to gain a better understanding research impact. Methods: This study discusses the operationalization of these services from the standpoint of a modern medical library and presents the partnerships, resources and tools needed to make this vision a reality. We discuss the types of reports and activities we have developed to suit the needs of our stakeholders using bibliographic data, and the challenges and successes we have found along the way. Results: We found that we often have repeat customers suggesting new projects or requesting updated numbers. Presentations to departments and new faculty, and our close association with our clinical and translational science institute, NUCATS, have created an overall awareness of our services and a synergy that keeps us moving forward. Conclusions: While still in its infancy and often not broadly available, many libraries are committing resources and staff to support research evaluation and impact assessment work on behalf of their institution. Libraries offer the campus a perfect combination of expertise, perspective, and resources to help support and advise their assessment, evaluation and visualization of research impact across the peer-reviewed literature and beyond.
THE BLACK BOX BETWEEN CLIMATE CHANGE AND CLIMATE CHANGE POLICY

subject: Policy and administration

description: Although scientific consensus on climate change and the threat of the potentially lifechanging effects it brings with have gotten stronger with time, the American public remains conflicted in its beliefs. The fiercely divisive, partisan issue is contested in many ways, even as the country endures more severe storms more frequently than in memorable history. Policy indices explore differences in risk and beliefs between states, counties, and cities, but the questions of why the differences exist and how the policies rose on the agenda have yet to be thoroughly examined or explained. This dissertation unpacks the idea that public policy in the environmental arena is shaped by things beyond the simple explanation of political partisanship and offers ideas for the development of an empirical framework to consistently study environmental policy within Public Administration. Specifically, three essays examine: the impact of disasters and perceptions on resilience within counties of the United States, the take-up of energy efficiency at the state level and the role of resource dependence within that variation, and the idea of adapting John Kingdon’s Multiple Streams Approach of policy agenda-setting into a more precise, falsifiable framework to better study climate change adaptation policy, both in its formation and implementation. By investigating the way in which policy is formed and changed, along with introducing a comprehensive method through which policy on climate change adaptation and related issues can become a focus of public administration as a field, the dissertation focuses on the overarching theme of environmental policy change at different levels of governance within the United States.
