description: The polarization properties of a magnetophotonic crystal at the frequencies located in the vicinity of ferromagnetic resonance are studied. The investigations are curried out taking into consideration the fact that the magnitude of material losses in ferrite layers at this frequency band is significant. The method is based on obtaining a system of ordinary differential equations and further analyzing the stability of solutions of this system. The electromagnetic properties of the structure under study are found out via the analysis of the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix of the structure period. On this basis the boundaries of the stopbands and passbands of the eigenwaves are determined. The frequency and angular dependences of the reflection and transmission coefficients are given. The angle of the rotation of the polarization plane and the ellipticity of the reflected and transmitted fields are obtained.

Maternal contribution to the reproductive potential of a recovering fish stock: variability in the fecundity and condition of haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) on the Scotian Shelf
Creators: name: Blanchard, Julia
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023
Subjects: Population ecology

description: The maternal contribution to the reproductive potential of a fish stock can be assessed by measuring the fecundity and condition of adult females. In turn, this can provide a more accurate measure of potential egg production than traditional estimates of Spawning Stock Biomass (SSB). This study represents the first comprehensive evaluation of the reproductive potential of the Eastern Scotian Shelf (ESS) haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) stock. Three years of fecundity data were collected over the period 1997-1999 for the Eastern Scotian Shelf haddock and data were also collected for the neighbouring, Southwest Scotian Shelf haddock stock in 1998 and 1999. Fecundity-body size relationships were determined for the three years of data collected and were highly variable compared to the neighbouring southwestern Scotian Shelf stock. Significant inter-annual differences in the intercepts of these relationships were observed over the 1997-1999 period and appeared to be reflective of inter-annual differences in condition. Relative to other haddock stocks throughout the North Atlantic, ESS haddock exhibited the lowest and most variable fecundity-length relationship. Multiple regression models incorporating length and condition were developed using three different measures of condition: liver index (H.S.I.); Fulton’s condition index (K) and length specific weight (with a length*weight interaction term). All measures of condition contributed to explaining additional variation in fecundity-at-length (from 15- 19%). H.S.I. explained the most variation, followed by length specific weight, then Fulton’s K. The stock reproductive potential was reconstructed for a two decade period (1979-1999) by incorporating the fecundity equations into a length based population model. This yielded annual estimates of Total Egg Production (TEP). Results showed that TEP has declined over that period with evidence of a recent increase in 1999. The decline was more drastic when TEP was separated for repeat spawners (fish above 40.5 cm). Also, there appeared to be a stronger relationship between TEP by repeat spawners and recruitment than the relationship between VPA-based SSB.The TEP estimates based on repeat spawners are more representative of the quantitative and qualitative factors contributing to reproductive potential and hence this approach is a more accurate method of estimating recruitment.

description: A parity measurement on two qubits, each consisting of a single atom in a cavity, can be realized by measuring the phase shift of a probe beam, which interacts sequentially with the two qubits, but imperfections lead to decoherence within the subspaces of a given parity. We demonstrate that a different setup, where the probe light interacts repeatedly with the qubits, can reduce the rate of decoherence within the odd or the even parity subspace significantly. We consider both the case of a resonant and the case of a nonresonant light-atom interaction and find that the performance is comparable if the parameters are chosen appropriately.

The occurence of plerocercoids of Schistocephalus solidus in the Fraser Valley and their effect on the intermediate host Gasterosteus aculeatus.
Creators: name: Lester, Robert John Graham
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Samples of Gasterosteus aculeatus from 16 areas in the Fraser Valley and environs were examined for plerocercoids of Schistocephalus solidus. Fish at Coal Harbour and Alouette Lake were sampled several times over a twelve month period. The number and sizes of worms present in the Alouette Lake fish samples were recorded, and it was found that infected fish less than 45 mm. total length carried on average more worms than those over 45 mm., and that uninfected adult fish were caught only during the breeding season. In another lake, infected fish were found in a different area from the uninfected ones. The fish intermediate host was shown to be affected by the infection in four ways: (i) Infected fish died sooner than uninfected fish, (ii) Heavily infected fish were lighter in weight of fish tissue than controls of the same length, (iii) The total standard respiration rate of infected fish was higher than that calculated by combining values obtained from uninfected fish and published values for in vitro plerocercoids. (iv) Heavily infected fish required up to twice as much oxygen per gram fish weight per hour when swimming at the same speed as control fish. Other aspects were examined but the results were inconclusive or negative. The observations on natural populations are discussed in the light of the experimental findings.

By analyzing NMR spectra, temperature dependences of Knight shift $K$ and nuclear quadrupole resonance frequency $ν_Q$ were obtained successfully for each nucleus. We confirmed from the so-called $K$-$χ$ plots that the macroscopic magnetization of our {LaCoAsO} powder sample is intrinsic and does not contain the contribution from impurity phases. We estimated hyperfine coupling constants from the slope of $K$-$χ$ plots and compared to that of iron-arsenide superconductor.

description: Fragment partitions of fragmenting hot nuclei produced in central and semiperipheral collisions have been compared in the excitation energy region 4-10 MeV per nucleon where radial collective expansion takes place. It is shown that, for a given total excitation energy per nucleon, the amount of radial collective energy fixes the mean fragment multiplicity. It is also shown that, at a given total excitation energy per nucleon, the different properties of fragment partitions are completely determined by the reduced fragment multiplicity (fragment multiplicity normalized to the source size). Freeze-out volumes seem to play a role in the scalings observed.

It is rigorously showed that, as the Mach number, the shear viscosity coefficient and the magnetic diffusion coefficient simultaneously go to zero, the weak solution of the compressible magnetohydrodynamic equations converges to the strong solution of the ideal incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations as long as the latter exists.

description: We consider a consider the case of a compact manifold M, together with the following data: the action of a compact Lie group H and a smooth H-invariant distribution E, such that the H-orbits are transverse to E. These data determine a natural equivariant differential form with generalized coefficients J(E,X) whose properties we describe. When E is equipped with a complex structure, we define a class of symbol mappings in terms of the resulting almost-CR structure that are H-transversally elliptic whenever the action of H is transverse to E. We determine a formula for the H-equivariant index of such symbols that involves only J(E,X) and standard equivariant characteristic classes. This formula generalizes the formula given in arXiv:0712.2431 for the case of a contact manifold.

Effect of herbicides on proteins in spring wheat
Creators: name: Desai, Prabhat Dinkar
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Three varieties of spring wheat, Selkirk, Manitou and Pembina, were grown in the field and greenhouse. 2,4-D, bromoxynil and picloram were applied at the 6" stage (4 leaf). The experiments were carried out in a randomized block design. 2,4-D and picloram showed a low concentration stimulation and high concentration inhibition on yield with Selkirk. Manitou and Pembina did not show definite trends with these two herbicides. Bromoxynil decreased the yield in all three varieties and the decrease was enhanced at higher concentrations. Bromoxynil was the only herbicide that increased the percent protein in all three varieties. An inverse relation between the percent protein and yield was seen in Selkirk, Manitou and Pembina treated with bromoxynil. 2,4-D and picloram also produced this relationship in Selkirk but not in Manitou or Pembina. Bromoxynil significantly reduced the yield of protein per plot, whereas 2,4-D and picloram did not. There was no quantitative relation between the protein extracted by 0.1 M Tris-glycine buffer (pH 8.3) or 0.05 N acetic acid (pH 3.5) and the percent protein in wheat. Selkirk was least affected by any of the herbicides, i.e. to the changes in the protein (albumin, globulin and gluten) as seen from the densitometric traces of gels. Manitou and Pembina showed changes as a result of the bromoxynil treatment.

Calculation of the partition function (weighted counting) for such a model is easy (of polynomial complexity) as reducible to evaluation of a Pfaffian of a matrix of size equal to twice the number of edges in the graph. In particular, this approach touches upon Holographic Algorithms of Valiant and utilizes the Gauge Transformations discussed in our previous works.

This model is directly applicable to the analysis of X-ray and Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect observations from the cluster core to the virial radius, with 5 global parameters and 3 parameters describing the cluster core. We validate the model using Chandra X-ray observations of two polytropic clusters, MS 1137.5+6625 and CL J1226.9+3332, and two cool core clusters, Abell 1835 and Abell 2204. We show that the model accurately describes the spatially resolved spectroscopic and imaging data, including the cluster core region where significant cooling of the plasma is observed.

A critical look at 50 years particle theory from the perspective of the crossing property
Creators: name: Schroer, Bert
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The crossing property is perhaps the most subtle aspect of the particle-field relation. Although it is not difficult to state its content in terms of certain analytic properties relating different matrixelements of the S-matrix or formfactors, its relation to the localization- and positive energy spectral principles requires a level of insight into the inner workings of QFT which goes beyond anything which can be found in typical textbooks on QFT. This paper presents a recent account based on new ideas derived from "modular localization" including a mathematic appendix on this subject. Its main novel achievement is the proof of the crossing property of formfactors from a two-algebra generalization of the KMS condition. The main content of this article is the presentation of the derailments of particle theory during more than 4 decades: the S-matrix bootstrap, the dual model and its string theoretic extension. Rather than being related to crossing, string theory is the (only known) realization of a dynamic infinite component one-particle wave function space and its associated infinite component field. Here "dynamic" means that, unlike a mere collection of infinitely many irreducible unitary Poincaré group representation or free fields, the formalism contains also operators which communicate between the different irreducible Poincaré represenations (the levels of the "infinite tower") and set the mass/spin spectrum. Wheras in pre-string times there were unsuccessful attempts to achieve this in analogy to the O(4,2) hydrogen spectrum by the use of higher noncompact groups, the superstring in d=9+1, which uses instead (bosonic/fermionic) oscillators obtained from multicomponent chiral currents is the only known unitary positive energy solution of the dynamical infinite component pointlike localized field project.

description: We investigate a simple theory where Baryon number (B) and Lepton number (L) are local gauge symmetries. In this theory B and L are on the same footing and the anomalies are cancelled by adding a single new fermionic generation. There is an interesting realization of the seesaw mechanism for neutrino masses. Furthermore, there is a natural suppression of flavour violation in the quark and leptonic sectors since the gauge symmetries and particle content forbid tree level flavor changing neutral currents involving the quarks or charged leptons. Also one finds that the stability of a dark matter candidate is an automatic consequence of the gauge symmetry. Some constraints and signals at the Large Hadron Collider are briefly discussed.

description: Freedman, Kitaev, and Wang [arXiv:quant-ph/0001071], and later Aharonov, Jones, and Landau [arXiv:quant-ph/0511096], established a quantum algorithm to "additively" approximate the Jones polynomial V(L,t) at any principal root of unity t. The strength of this additive approximation depends exponentially on the bridge number of the link presentation. Freedman, Larsen, and Wang [arXiv:math/0103200] established that the approximation is universal for quantum computation at a non-lattice, principal root of unity; and Aharonov and Arad [arXiv:quant-ph/0605181] established a uniform version of this result. In this article, we show that any value-dependent approximation of the Jones polynomial at these non-lattice roots of unity is #P-hard. If given the power to decide whether |V(L,t)| > a or |V(L,t)| < b for fixed constants a > b > 0, there is a polynomial-time algorithm to exactly count the solutions to arbitrary combinatorial equations. In our argument, the result follows fairly directly from the universality result and Aaronson's theorem that PostBQP = PP [arXiv:quant-ph/0412187].

description: Through the introduction of a class of appropriate translationally invariant trial wave functions, we show that the strong correlations in the lowest Landau level (LLL) reflect in finite systems the emergence of intrinsic point-group symmetries associated with rotations and vibrations of molecules formed through particle localization. This quantal molecular description is universal, being valid for both bosons and fermions, for both the yrast and excited states of the LLL spectra, and for both low and high angular momenta. "Quantum-fluid" physical pictures associated with Jastrow-type trial functions are shown to be reducible to the molecular description introduced in this paper.

Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania

Subjects: Signal transduction

description: Apoptosis is an intricate molecular program with favorable application in many tumor treatments. Much effort has been directed towards the search for compounds that influence apoptosis and understanding their mechanisms of action. Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitors may induce apoptosis through the COX-2-independent mechanism. In view of the reported anti proliferative activities of compounds A (3-(4-chlorophenyl) -5-(4-flurophenyl)- 4-phenyl-4, 5-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazole) and B (4-Phenyl-3,5-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-4,5- dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazole) as two COX-2 inhibitor derivatives in leukemia (K562) and breast cancer cells (MCF-7), the present study was undertaken to evaluate the potential of these compounds to induce apoptosis and unravel the associated mechanisms. Compounds A and B-treated K562 and MCF-7 cells revealed the apoptotic cell death, as confirmed by the increased annexin-V/PI staining. Further investigation showed that compounds A and B inhibited nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-ĸB), ferritin heavy chain (FHC) and extra cellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activation, whereas it could not change c-Myc and early growth response protein 1(EGR-1) expression dramatically. Altogether, our data suggest that induction of apoptosis by compounds A and B is not associated with COX-2 expression and occurs through the NF-ĸB pathway, which sequentially inhibits P-ERK and FHC expression.

Liquidity preferences of commercial banks : the Canadian case
Creators: name: Brown, Lawrence David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In conjunction with the recent interest in the liquidity preferences of commercial banks, which is itself part of a new supply theory of money, this thesis investigates the reserve behaviour of Canadian commercial banks from 1920-1939. Several models of bank reserve behaviour are presented including the one to be tested in this thesis. This model differs from the others in that it will be tested with monthly data on individual banks (and hence can explain differences among banks as to the holding of reserves) whereas the others were tested with annual data for a group of banks or a banking system. Since there was no required reserve in Canada prior to March, 1935, there was also no definition of what constituted reserves. This problem had to be investigated before any reserve ratios could be calculated. After calculating some reserve ratios, several interesting observations can be made. The hypothesis that Canadian, commercial banks adhered to a ten per cent required reserve ratio through a gentlemen's agreement within the Canadian Bankers Association was clearly refuted. Also the effect of the establishment of the .Bank of Canada on reserve holdings was noticed. Furthermore, the evidence cast some doubt on the conclusions of George Morrison in his book, Liquidity Preferences of Commercial Banks. The model presented previously was then tested both with monthly data for individual banks and with monthly data for the banking system as a whole. The tests using monthly data for the individual banks indicated the need for further refinement of the model although considering the number of observations and the diversity among banks perhaps the R² was not that bad.. The R² was much improved when monthly data for the banking system was used. This is to be expected as aggregations over banks hides much detail which, thus, does not have to be explained.
Critical angular momentum distributions in collapsars: quiescent periods from accretion state transitions in long gamma-ray bursts

description: The rotation rate in pre-supernova cores is an important ingredient which can profoundly affect the post-collapse evolution and associated energy release in supernovae and long gamma ray bursts (LGRBs). Previous work has focused on whether the specific angular momentum is above or below the critical value required for the creation of a centrifugally supported disk around a black hole. Here, we explore the effect of the distribution of angular momentum with radius in the star, and show that qualitative transitions between high and low angular momentum flow, corresponding to high and low luminosity accretion states, can effectively be reflected in the energy output, leading to variability and the possibility of quiescent times in LGRBs.

description: We use geometric techniques to explicitly find the topological structure of the space of SO(3)-representations of the fundamental group of a closed surface of genus 2 quotient by the conjugation action by SO(3). There are two components of the space. We will describe the topology of both components and describe the corresponding SU(2)-character spaces by parametrizing them by spherical triangles. There is the sixteen to one branch-covering for each component, and the branch locus is a union of 2-spheres or 2-tori. Along the way, we also describe the topology of both spaces. We will later relate this result to future work into higher-genus cases and the SL(3,R)-representations.

description: We present the exact Bethe ansatz solution for the two-dimensional BCS pairing Hamiltonian with p_x + i p_y symmetry. Using both mean-field theory and the exact solution we obtain the ground-state phase diagram parameterized by the filling fraction and the coupling constant. It consists of three phases denoted weak coupling BCS, weak pairing, and strong pairing. The first two phases are separated by a topologically protected line where the exact ground state is given by the Moore-Read pfaffian state. In the thermodynamic limit the ground-state energy is discontinuous on this line. The other two phases are separated by the critical line, also topologically protected, previously found by Read and Green. We establish a duality relation between the weak and strong pairing phases, whereby ground states of the weak phase are "dressed" versions of the ground states of the strong phase by zero energy (Moore-Read) pairs and characterized by a topological order parameter.

description: It was recently suggested that the magnetic component of Gravitational Waves (GWs) is relevant in the evaluation of frequency response functions of gravitational interferometers. In this paper we extend the analysis to the magnetic component of the scalar mode of GWs which arise from scalar-tensor gravity theory. In the low-frequency approximation, the response function of ground-based interferometers is calculated. The angular dependence of the electric and magnetic contributions to the response function is discussed. Finally, for an arbitrary frequency range, the proper distance between two test masses is calculated and its usefulness in the high-frequency limit for space-based interferometers is briefly considered.

The dual quantum group for the quantum group analogue of the normalizer of SU(1,1) in SL(2,C)

description: The quantum group analogue of the normalizer of SU(1,1) in SL(2,C) is an important and non-trivial example of a non-compact quantum group. The general theory of locally compact quantum groups in the operator algebra setting implies the existence of the dual quantum group. The first main goal of the paper is to give an explicit description of the dual quantum group for this example involving the quantized enveloping algebra U_q(su(1,1)). It turns out that U_q(su(1,1)) does not suffice to generate the dual quantum group. The dual quantum group is graded with respect to commutation and anticommutation with a suitable analogue of the Casimir operator characterized by an affiliation relation to a von Neumann algebra. This is used to obtain an explicit set of generators. Having the dual quantum group the left regular corepresentation of the quantum group analogue of the normalizer of SU(1,1) in SL(2,C) is decomposed into irreducible corepresentations. Upon restricting the irreducible corepresentations to U_q(su(1,1))-representation one finds combinations of the positive and negative discrete series representations with the strange series representations as well as combinations of the principal unitary series representations. The detailed analysis of this example involves analysis of special functions of basic hypergeometric type and, in particular, some results on these special functions are obtained, which are stated separately. The paper is split into two parts; the first part gives almost all of the statements and the results, and the statements in the first part are independent of the second part. The second part contains the proofs of all the statements.

Special Affects: Compositing Images in the Bodies of Butoh
Creators: name: Hornblow, Michael
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023
Subjects: Screen and digital media not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis examines how the relationship between 'the body' and 'the image' may be understood within the Japanese dance movement called butoh. The aim of the thesis is twofold – to investigate what it means to construct a body specific to butoh, and to consider how the image in butoh may be seen to affect this body. In the first instance, I examine how the materiality of the butoh-body constrains or delimits its expressive capacity. In the second instance, I investigate how the materiality of the butoh-image performs a generative function, to stretch the bounds of this body and the limits of its expression. As far as theorising the butoh-body is concerned, what interests me are the points of confluence that may be explored through the materialist philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. I seek to demonstrate how the ideas of Tatsumi Hijikata (butoh's co-founder) may be discussed through the writing of Antonin Artaud, whose approach to the body influenced both Hijikata and the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari. As far as the butoh-image is concerned, I seek to show how Deleuze's cinephilosophy may also inform an understanding of Hijikata's choreographic method of working with images, called butoh-fu. Here, I develop a conceptual model with which to probe the materiality of the butoh-image and the cinematic qualities of the butoh-body. This twofold approach stems from my own art practice as a filmmaker and performer. The initial impetus for the research emerged through an intensive period of butoh dance training, as well as the production of a short film. This film experiments with a dynamic interaction of performers, sculptural elements, plus digital and optical effects. In the thesis, I use the theory of complex systems and the ideas of Deleuze, Guattari, Hijikata and Artaud, to discuss how the film may be imagined as a 'systemic narrative'. This approach explores interactions between the filmic elements, to produce the narrative as an ongoing process of construction. This thesis is a work in progress towards two outcomes. The first of these is a diagrammatic model for butoh dance notation, to provide a graphic template for Hijikata's choreographic method. The second is a proposed video-installation, which may further implement the systemic narrative with a technical configuration that corresponds to the diagrammatic model. Through this research, I seek to develop my own praxis, which investigates a systemic approach to the embodiment of the image.
A study of charged kappa in $J/ψ\to K^{\pm} K_s π^{\mp} π^0$

description: Based on $58 \times 10^6 $ $J/ψ$ events collected by BESII, the decay $J/ψ\to K^{\pm} K_s π^{\mp} π^0$ is studied. In the invariant mass spectrum recoiling against the charged $K^*(892)^{\pm}$, the charged $κ$ particle is found as a low mass enhancement. If a Breit-Wigner function of constant width is used to parameterize the kappa, its pole locates at $(849 \pm 77 ^{+18}_{-14}) -i (256 \pm 40 ^{+46}_{-22})$ MeV/$c^2$. Also in this channel, the decay $J/ψ\to K^*(892)^+ K^*(892)^-$ is observed for the first time. Its branching ratio is $(1.00 \pm 0.19 ^{+0.11}_{-0.32}) \times 10^{-3}$.
