Why pair production cures covariance in the light-front?

description: We show that the light-front vaccum is not trivial, and the Fock space for positive energy quanta solutions is not complete. As an example of this non triviality we have calculated the electromagnetic current for scalar bosons in the background field method were the covariance is restored through considering the complete Fock space of solutions. We also show thus that the method of "dislocating the integration pole" is nothing more than a particular case of this, so that such an "ad hoc" prescription can be dispensed altogether if we deal with the whole Fock space. In this work we construct the electromagnetic current operator for a system composed of two free bosons. The technique employed to deduce these operators is through the definition of global propagators in the light front when a background electromagnetic field acts on one of the particles.

A critique of parental monitoring using Bandura's social cognitive learning theory as framework
Creators: name: Easterbrook, Adam
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study tests competing hypotheses that examine the relationship between adolescents' perception of disclosure of information in the parent-adolescent relationship and adolescents' perception of their friends as prosocial or deviant. The first hypotheses are based on previous research on monitoring. They posit that parental efforts to obtain information about adolescents' activities, whereabouts and friends will influence adolescents' choice of either prosocial or deviant friends. The competing hypotheses are developed using Bandura's (2001) social cognitive learning theory as a framework. These hypotheses argue that adolescents' perception of their friends as either prosocial or deviant may determine how much information adolescents' will give to parents regarding activities, whereabouts and friends. To test the hypotheses, data was used from waves one and two of a three-year longitudinal study that is exploring adolescent life among high school students. Results offer partial support for the monitoring hypotheses. Maternal desire to know about adolescents' activities, whereabouts and friends is positively associated with adolescents' perception of friends as prosocial, but is not associated with adolescents' perception of friends as deviant. In contrast, paternal desire to know about adolescents' activities, whereabouts and friends is negatively associated with adolescents' perception of friends as deviant, but is not associated with adolescents' perception of friends as prosocial. The competing hypotheses developed using Bandura's (2001) social cognitive learning theory as a framework, were supported. Adolescents' perception of friends as prosocial is positively associated with adolescents' willingness to give information regarding activities, whereabouts and friends to parents, whereas adolescents' perception of friends as deviant is negatively associated with adolescents' willingness to give information to parents regarding activities, whereabouts and friends. These findings contribute to a growing body of literature (e.g., Kerr & Stattin, 2000; Stattin & Kerr, 2000) that questions monitoring as a useful and effective strategy for parental peer management. These results also underscore the need to examine adolescents as agentic beings who work to balance parent and peer relationships.

An Evaluation of Dialogue: The Relationship Between Potential Friendships and Learning Outcomes
Creators: name: Bayes, Devyn
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Dialogue when successful is the product of honest conversations amongst those who have conflicting identities. The study presented here seeks to determine whether the relationship building process and the learning processes that happen here are related to each other within the whole transformation process that dialogue offers. A mixed method of research and background work in the theories of contact and dialogue provided a strong base for the voices of those dialogue participants at American University to be heard. Relationships built with the potential for friendships and learning in different ways facilitate the success of the dialogue process in this case. Finally, hearing first-hand accounts of the dialogue experience solidified that for a majority of the dialogue participants the magic of dialogue was evident through the transformation of opinions. These transformations occurred by being open to experiencing both the relationship building process and learning processes possible in dialogue.

description: The SIRM (Stochastic Inclined Rods Model) proposed by H. Matsuura and M. Nakano can explain the muscle's motion perfectly, but the intermolecular potential between myosin head and G-actin is too simple and only repulsive potential is considered. In this paper we study the SIRM with different complex potential and discuss the effect of the spring on the system. The calculation results show that the spring, the effective radius of the G-actin and the intermolecular potential play key roles in the motion. The sliding speed is about $4.7\times10^{-6}m/s$ calculated from the model which well agrees with the experimental data.

description: We use ab initio methods and neutron inelastic scattering (NIS) to study the structure, energetics, and dynamics of pure and Ti-doped sodium alanate (NaAlH_4), focusing on the possibility of substitutional Ti doping. The NIS spectrum is found to exhibit surprisingly strong and sharp two-phonon features. The calculations reveal that substitutional Ti doping is energetically possible. Ti prefers to substitute for Na and is a powerful hydrogen attractor that facilitates multiple Al--H bond breaking. Our results hint at new ways of improving the hydrogen dynamics and storage capacity of the alanates.

The Great Dismal Swamp: A Twentieth Century Perspective
Creators: name: Bradley, Kevin Christopher
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Research presented in this thesis will continue the investigation of (inter)actions within and around the Great Dismal Swamp, while expanding analysis beyond the current temporal focus of the Great Dismal Swamp Landscape Study. The twentieth century witnessed perhaps the most dramatic series of changes to landscape use in the Great Dismal Swamp throughout its entire social history, changes that undoubtedly affected previously established behaviors and relationships. Archival material and oral reports referenced in this work help identify the socioeconomic and ideological underpinnings of society, providing a means to evaluate how these broad processes influenced cultural activity in and around the swamp. Of particular interest in this thesis is the identification and understanding of the signs and manifestations of control expressed over the landscape, and the consequential acts of defiance taken by marginalized or disenfranchised communities. Archaeological evidence, also, has the potential to further illuminate our understanding of past actions in the swamp. However, since no concerted archaeological investigations of the twentieth century have been conducted there, it will be demonstrated that not only is such an endeavor possible, but it is ultimately worthwhile.

description: Metal-organic framework (MOF) thin-films show unmatched promise as smart membranes and photo-catalytic coatings. However, their nucleation and growth resulting from intricate molecular assembly processes are not well understood, yet crucial to control the thin-film properties. Here, we directly observe the nucleation and growth behaviour of HKUST-1 thin-films by real-time in-situ AFM at different temperatures in the Cu-BTC solution. In combination with ex-situ infrared (nano-)spectroscopy, synthesis at 25°C reveals initial nucleation of rapidly growing HKUST-1 islands surrounded by a continuously nucleating, but slowly growing HKUST-1 carpet. Monitoring at 13°C and 50°C shows the strong impact of temperature on thin-film formation, resulting in (partial) nucleation and growth inhibition. The nucleation and growth mechanisms as well as their kinetics provide insights to aid in future rational design of MOF thin-films.

description: This paper proposes a planning algorithm for autonomous media production with multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in outdoor events. Given filming tasks specified by a media Director, we formulate an optimization problem to maximize the filming time considering battery constraints. As we conjecture that the problem is NP-hard, we consider a discretization version, and propose a graph-based algorithm that can find an optimal solution of the discrete problem for a single UAV in polynomial time. Then, a greedy strategy is applied to solve the problem sequentially for multiple UAVs. We demonstrate that our algorithm is efficient for small teams (3-5 UAVs) and that its performance is close to the optimum. We showcase our system in field experiments carrying out actual media production in an outdoor scenario with multiple UAVs.

Constructing the National Project: Toward Democratic Nationalism in Indonesia
Creators: name: Bulkin, Nadia
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: A new kind of nationalism is taking root in Indonesia: democratic nationalism, which is constructed from the bottom up instead of imposed by the state. Democratic nationalism's objective is mass voluntary contribution to the national project with the intention of engendering loyalty to the state, though not necessarily the regime. This sets it apart from top-down nationalisms that previously defined the Indonesian nation: colonial administrative nationalism, anti-colonial nationalism, and regime-sustaining nationalism. The shift to democratic nationalism was brought about by state policies of democratization and decentralization, which have dramatically increased the number of actors both within and outside the state who believe they have a stake not only in their own daily lives but in the national project. The Indonesian people have yet to answer all questions about their national identity, but as of now, popular commitment to the idea of Indonesia as well as democracy appears to be strong.

Evolution of the latitudinal species diversity gradient of New World birds and mammals
Creators: name: Weir, Jason Tyler
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The latitudinal diversity gradient in which species diversity is highest near the equator and declines toward the poles is well characterized in most higher level taxonomic groups and is strongest in the New World. However, the underlying causes of this gradient are poorly understood. By sampling New World birds and mammals, we found that the distribution of the evolutionary ages of sister species adheres to a latitudinal gradient. The time to divergence for sister species is shortest at high latitudes and longer in the tropics. Birth-death models fitting these data estimate that the highest recent speciation and extinction rates occur at high latitudes and decline toward the tropics suggesting that rates of species turnover are greatest where diversity is lowest. A pattern of endemism in boreal superspecies plausibly links the recent divergence of high latitude species to the fragmentation of the North American boreal forest by climatic oscillations during the Pleistocene ice ages. While all boreal superspecies tested date to the Pleistocene, only 56% of sub-boreal superspecies members date to this period. Similarly, montane tropical faunas, which were also directly impacted by buildup of glaciers during ice age cycles, were composed of younger species than low elevation faunas. Together these results suggest that faunas directly fragmented by expanding and retracting ice sheets experienced rapid rates of species turnover contributing to the lower species diversity of these regions. In contrast, the older ages of faunas at lower latitudes and altitudes suggest that long-term climatic stability promoted the gradual accumulation of high species diversity in these regions. Faunal interchange between continents may also have contributed to the exceptionally high species diversity of the New World tropics. Molecular dating suggests interchange rates between the distinctive avifaunas of North and South America were significantly faster after completion of the Central American landbridge three million years ago. Composition of tropical bird faunas were directly impacted by a relatively recent burst of faunal mixing which had the potential to elevate Neotropical species diversity over other tropical regions.

title: The new sciences of chaos and complexity and organisational change : a case study of the Open University
Creators: name: McMillan, Elizabeth M.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2000

description: This thesis investigates the use of ideas and insights from the new sciences of chaos and complexity in organisations, especially in organisational change interventions. It contends that organisations are still dominated by approaches derived from classical, traditional science and that these are no longer very helpful. Newer approaches to organisational life are emerging, including the learning organisation, and these offer innovative ways forward. Other more radical ideas are also emerging from understandings derived from the new sciences. It uses a detailed case study of the Open University to explore the use of a range of change theories in introducing change into a complex, complicated, traditional organisation. The change process studied used ideas drawn from modern notions of strategic change but also some ideas available in the literature which draws on insights from the new sciences. Stacey's (1992, 1993, 1996) work particularly his 9 point complexity theory of organisation (1996) is used to provide a theoretical framework. This thesis concludes that the new sciences offer an effective and innovative way of introducing organisational change and offers a transition model of strategy which may serve as an enabling bridge between classical notions of change and a new sciences approach. It supports and builds upon Stacey's work by showing the benefits of using of self organising principles, especially self organising teams, as part of a strategic change intervention. Further it adds to the ideas on the human dynamics of change, suggests ways in which to introduce such a strategic change process and offers an additional interpretation of the development of teams in organisations.

description: Livelihood diversification through greater non-farm activities has been considered as an important mechanism to propel growth, lower rural poverty and augment farm income across developing countries. Little, however, is known about its implications for nutritional outcomes such as dietary diversity. Using a nationally representative panel survey of rural households in India, and night-time light intensity as an instrumental variable (IV) for non-farm income, we show that engaging in non-agricultural livelihood has a positive effect on overall food expenditure, especially on non-cereal items, enabling greater dietary diversity. These findings have crucial policy implications for nutrition transition in India where agricultural incomes have been stagnant during the last decade. Our findings further contribute to the existing knowledge of agriculture-nutrition pathways.

description: We carried out a detailed and continuous paleomagnetic sampling of the reversed to normal geomagnetic transition recorded by some 60 consecutive flow units near the base of the Lesotho Basalt (183  1 Ma). After alternating field or thermal cleaning the directions of remanence are generally well clustered within flow units. In contrast, the thermal instability of the samples did not allow to obtain reliable paleointensity determinations. The geomagnetic transition is incompletely recorded due to a gap in volcanic activity attested both by eolian deposits and a large angular distance between the field directions of the flows underlying or overlying these deposits. The transition path is noticeably different from that reported in the pioneer work of van Zijl et al. (1962). The most transitional Virtual Geomagnetic Poles are observed after the volcanic hiatus. Once continents are replaced in their relative position 180 Ma ago, the post-hiatus VGP cluster over Russia. However, two successive rebounds from that cluster are found, with VGP reaching repeatedly Eastern Asia coast. Thus, the VGP path is not narrowly constrained in paleolongitude. The decrease in intensity of magnetization as the field deviates from the normal or reversed direction suggests that the decrease in field magnitude during the reversal reached 80-90%. We conclude that although the reversal is of a dipole of much weaker moment than that which existed on average during Cenozoic time, the characteristics of the reversing geodynamo seem to be basically similar.

description: We provide a general framework for no-arbitrage concepts in topological vector lattices, which covers many of the well-known no-arbitrage concepts as particular cases. The main structural condition we impose is that the outcomes of trading strategies with initial wealth zero and those with positive initial wealth have the structure of a convex cone. As one consequence of our approach, the concepts NUPBR, NAA$_1$ and NA$_1$ may fail to be equivalent in our general setting. Furthermore, we derive abstract versions of the fundamental theorem of asset pricing (FTAP), including an abstract FTAP on Banach function spaces, and investigate when the FTAP is warranted in its classical form with a separating measure. We also consider a financial market with semimartingales which does not need to have a numéraire, and derive results which show the links between the no-arbitrage concepts by only using the theory of topological vector lattices and well-known results from stochastic analysis in a sequence of short proofs.

description: Im ostwestfälischen Bergland entstanden seit der Tertiärzeit durch Auslaugung von Salinargesteinen (Steinsalz und Anhydrit) im Untergrund zahlreiche Subrosionssenken an der Erdoberfläche. In diesen Senken sammelten sich während des Tertiärs und Quartärs verschiedenartige Lockergesteine - Sande, Silte, Tone -, die hier vor Erosion geschützt waren. Dank systematischer Erkundung während der Neukartierung Ostwestfalens durch das Geologische Landesamt Nordrhein-Westfalen wurden bisher rund 80 Subrosionssenken zumeist durch Bohrungen entdeckt. Zehn von ihnen werden in der vorliegenden Arbeit beschrieben, wobei acht nach palynologischer Datierung warmzeitliche Sedimente des Unterpleistozän, Cromer, Holstein und Eem beinhalten, weitere zwei solche der Kaltzeiten Saale und womöglich Elster. Die mächtigste und vollständigste Abfolge vom Waal bis zum Cromer wurde in der Subrosionssenke von Mosebeck östlich Detmold angetroffen.

title: Electromagnetic reflections inside ice sheets
Creators: name: Miners, William Dingle
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1999

description: When radio echo sounding polar ice sheets weak stratified reflections are visible deep inside the ice sheets. These reflections are often called internal layers. Previously it has been suggested as a result of glacier flow models that these reflections can be treated as surfaces of equal age. In order for a reflection to be related to a single age feature in an ice sheet a one dimensional wave model must be adequate to model the propagation of a wavelet down to the feature and back to the surface. In this thesis four different one dimensional models are constructed each including different physics. It is shown that for the frequencies of interest to radio echo sounding it is sufficient to use the non-dispersive high frequency values of permittivity and conductivity for the ice in the models. The models are used on data from two drill sites. The first site is Berkner Island where I constructed an instrument to measure the electrical conductivity of the 181 metre long ice core. The second site is the Greenland Ice Core Project (GRIP) site at Summit of length 3028 metres. For both sites permittivity and conductivity profiles inside the ice sheet are calculated and put into the models with an estimate of the transmitted wavelet to produce expected radio echo profiles at the sites. For Berkner despite altering many parameters no match between model result and radar data was obtained. For GRIP a satisfactory match was obtained between model result and radar data. It is concluded that the weak, specular (plane like), st Ratified reflections at depth can be treated as isochrones. The strong reflections at shallow depths are a result of a combination of spherical reflection surfaces and interference between many closely spaced layers and cannot necessarily be treated as isochrones.
Comparing Tendency to Recall Distant Memories to Rumination and Avoidance as a Cause of Overgeneral Memory

description: Overgeneral memory (OGM) can be defined as the tendency to recall categorical or general memories when asked to recall a specific episode. OGM is found in a variety of clinical populations but of most interest has been its relation to depression. The current leading theory on the cause of OGM is the CARFAX model (Williams, 2006). According to the model OGM is caused by a combination of three factors, rumination, avoidance, and executive control. However, one additional factor not included in the CARFAX model, the tendency to recall remote memories, has recently been shown to be a mediator of the relationship between depression and OGM.The purpose of this study was to compare this alternate factor, the tendency to recall remote memories, to both rumination and avoidance, two factors currently present in the CARFAX model. We investigated this by measuring the participants' level of rumination, avoidance, and tendency to recall remote memories and looked at their correlations to depression and OGM. Further, we looked at how rumination and avoidance correlated with the tendency to recall remote memories in the attempt to establish the tendency to recall remote memories as an independent factor. We found that the tendency to recall remote memories was a stronger predictor of OGM than either rumination or avoidance. In addition, the tendency to recall remote memories was correlated with neither rumination nor avoidance. This study provided evidence that CARFAX model in its current state is unable to account for the relationship between depression and OGM. Implications for how the CARFAX model may be revised to account for this current research are discussed.
The help-seeking experiences of refugee women : narratives of resilience, resistance and reconstruction of identities

Year: 2011

description: This qualitative study explored the influence of gender, class, culture and trauma on refugee women's acculturation process. A narrative approach was used to examine the help-seeking experiences of refugee women who resettled in the Greater Vancouver area. Through focus groups and individual interviews, various post migration issues were explored including programs and/or services utilized for various needs, social networks or supports for the women and their children, traditional and emerging social roles, and coping strategies. The study also explored the images and metaphors women construct to convey their resilience, resistance and reconstruction of identities in their help-seeking experiences as refugee women. These images and metaphors give insights into the women's understanding of "help" and the reasons why they decided or not to seek help. The study seeks to contribute to the development of programs and services that are responsive to the needs of refugee women. The findings suggest that "help" for the women mean both practical help and emotional support and that its meaning is deeply embedded in culture and social relationships. The images and metaphors the women used to describe their help-seeking experiences reflect their strengths, resistance to expected ways of seeking help, and the reconstruction of their identities, which is an ongoing process of negotiation with the dominant culture of the host country. In general refugee women tend to use informal social networks concurrently with institutional networks to address various needs.

description: Deep learning methods have proven extremely effective at performing a variety of medical image analysis tasks. With their potential use in clinical routine, their lack of transparency has however been one of their few weak points, raising concerns regarding their behavior and failure modes. While most research to infer model behavior has focused on indirect strategies that estimate prediction uncertainties and visualize model support in the input image space, the ability to explicitly query a prediction model regarding its image content offers a more direct way to determine the behavior of trained models. To this end, we present a novel Visual Question Answering approach that allows an image to be queried by means of a written question. Experiments on a variety of medical and natural image datasets show that by fusing image and question features in a novel way, the proposed approach achieves an equal or higher accuracy compared to current methods.

description: Fedosov used flat sections of the Weyl bundle on a symplectic manifold to construct a star product $\star$ which gives rise to a deformation quantization. By extending Fedosov's method, we give an explicit, analytic construction of a sheaf of Bargmann-Fock modules over the Weyl bundle of a Kähler manifold $X$ equipped with a compatible Fedosov abelian connection, and show that the sheaf of flat sections forms a module sheaf over the sheaf of deformation quantization algebras defined $(C^\infty_X[[\hbar]], \star)$. This sheaf can be viewed as the $\hbar$-expansion of $L^{\otimes k}$ as $k \to \infty$, where $L$ is a prequantum line bundle on $X$ and $\hbar = 1/k$.

Predictors of Relapse Following Treatment of Trichotillomania

description: This study sought to identify predictors of relapse in a stepped-care behavior therapy trial for trichotillomania, or hair-pulling disorder. More information is needed about patient variables that may predict relapse, which could be helpful to clinicians in planning how to better serve patients during treatment. The roles of abstinence from pulling, residual urges during abstinence, comorbid depression, hair pulling severity, and intrinsic motivation were evaluated. Of these possible predictors, abstinence at the conclusion of treatment was found to significantly predict maintenance. Another contribution was the introduction of the Probability of Treatment Benefit (PTB) charts (Lindhiem, Kolko, & Cheng, 2012) to the trichotillomania literature. These charts were used to quantify the probability of being able to maintain gains according to predictors of maintenance. Finally, this study highlighted the need for a consensus on operational definitions of "treatment response" and "maintenance of response" due to the variety of results obtained when these definitions differed.
