description: We propose a new scenario for early cosmology, where an inflationary de Sitter phase is obtained with a ghost condensate. The transition to radiation dominance is triggered by the ghost itself, without any slow-roll potential. Density perturbations are generated by fluctuations around the ghost condensate and can be reliably computed in the effective field theory. The fluctuations are scale invariant as a consequence of the de Sitter symmetries, however, the size of the perturbations are parametrically different from conventional slow-roll inflation, and the inflation happens at far lower energy scales. The model makes definite predictions that distinguish it from standard inflation, and can be sharply excluded or confirmed by experiments in the near future. The tilt in the scalar spectrum is predicted to vanish (n_s=1), and the gravity wave signal is negligible. The non-Gaussianities in the spectrum are predicted to be observable: the 3-point function is determined up to an overall order 1 constant, and its magnitude is much bigger than in conventional inflation, with an equivalent f_NL ~ 100, not far from the present WMAP bounds.

The Respect for Freedom of Expression and the Exercise of State Jurisdiction Online in International Human Rights Law
Creators: name: Solmone, Sara
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2020

description: This thesis focuses on the exercise of State jurisdiction online and the fulfilment of freedom of expression in the cyberspace. In particular, the thesis aims to answer the following research questions: when and under what conditions can online acts be considered to have happened within a State’s jurisdiction according to human rights law? Is the extraterritorial exercise of State jurisdiction to regulate online content compliant with the freedom of expression provisions contained in human rights law? These questions are investigated through the analysis of key domestic Internet-related cases where States have exercised jurisdiction over cross-border online content extraterritorially. This analysis highlights the negative implications of these extraterritorial exercises of State jurisdiction on freedom of expression online. On the other hand, the thesis investigates the meaning of State jurisdiction online according to the European Convention of Human Rights, the American Convention of Human Rights, the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The aim of this analysis is to understand how the jurisdictional models developed by the human rights courts work in an online environment. The analysis highlights the difficulties presented by the application of the spatial and personal models of jurisdiction to online acts and investigates the extraterritorial effects model, which might be better suited to deal with online acts. Finally, the thesis explores whether the extraterritorial exercises of State jurisdiction examined in the first part of the thesis are compliant with the accessibility and foreseeability requirements of the ‘prescribed by law’ criterion of the human rights conventions. The analysis of this point concludes that, although the domestic laws authorising these exercises of jurisdiction are compliant with these requirements, their interpretation by the Courts should evolve to take into account the special, borderless nature of online content.

description: Donation of conservation easements is one way to achieve open space objectives for land. As an incentive for easement donation, tax reductions are available to the easement donor. One of the major tax incentives is deduction of the value of the easement as a charitable contribution on the donor* s personal Federal income tax return. Additional tax reductions may occur annually and/or on disposition of the property. Local real estate taxes should be less after the development rights are given away in the conservation easement. Capital gains tax, gift taxes, or estate taxes should be decreased when the easement donor disposes of his property.

description: Introduction After successfully reducing back-of-house waste, the University of British Columbia (UBC) Food Services and UBC SEEDS are working to reduce food waste produced in UBC-Vancouver (UBC-V) residence dining halls. Research Question How do posters with an anthropomorphic figure and positive focus influence food waste production in a residence dining hall? Methods We analyzed previous studies on food waste reduction, behaviour change, and visual interventions, aiming to create a visual intervention promoting food waste reduction. The team designed a poster with minimal written information and a positive tone, hypothesizing that this would reduce food waste from plates. During a six-day baseline period at Place Vanier’s dining hall, Gather, the plate waste of diners was observed and rated on a 0-5 point scale from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. UBC Food Services collected the weight of plate waste in kilograms each day, which was used to augment our analysis. Posters were placed in various locations after this baseline period, and observations and kilogram data were collected in the same fashion. Results Results from our observational data showed a marginal difference in plate waste between conditions (U = 201,265.00, p = .05, rrb = 0.063); however, this was not corroborated by the kilogram data (U = 20.00, p = .95, rrb = -0.048). Though the hypothesis was partially supported, further studies are required. Recommendations We suggest that residence dining halls consider putting up posters based on the ideas of nudge influence, with a positive focus relating to the reduction of food waste. A future study also needs to be conducted to understand why students are so frequently tossing burgers, burger buns, and cakes. Finally, obtaining student feedback could allow the residence dining hall to make necessary adjustments to the menu, reducing potential food waste.

description: We associate determinant lines to objects of the extended abelian category built out of a von Neumann category with a trace. Using this we suggest constructions of the combinatorial and the analytic L^2 torsions which, unlike the work of the previous authors, requires no additional assumptions; in particular we do not impose the determinant class condition. The resulting torsions are elements of the determinant line of the extended L^2 cohomology. Under the determinant class assumption the L^2 torsions of this paper specialize to the invariants studied in our previous work. Applying a recent theorem of D. Burghelea, L. Friedlander and T. Kappeler we obtain a Cheeger - Muller type theorem stating the equality between the combinatorial and the analytic L^2 torsions.

A local character based method for solving linear systems of radiation diffusion problems

description: The radiation diffusion problem is a kind of {time-dependent} nonlinear equations. For solving the radiation diffusion equations, many linear systems are obtained in the nonlinear iterations at each time step. The cost of linear equations dominates the numerical simulation of radiation diffusion applications, such as inertial confinement fusion, etc. {Usually,} iterative methods are used to solve the linear systems in {a} real application. {Moreover, the solution of the previous nonlinear iteration or the solution of the previous time step is typically used as the initial guess for solving the current linear equations.} Because of the strong local character in ICF, with the advancing of nonlinear iteration and time step, the solution of the linear system changes dramatically in some local domain, and changes mildly or even has no change in the rest domain. In this paper, a local {character-based} method is proposed to solve the linear systems of radiation diffusion problems. The proposed method consists of three steps: firstly, a local domain (algebraic domain) is constructed; secondly, the subsystem on the local domain is solved; and lastly, the whole system will be solved. Two methods are given to construct the local domain. One is based on the spatial gradient, and the other is based on the residual. Numerical tests for a two-dimensional heat conduction model problem, and two real application models, the multi-group radiation diffusion equations and the three temperature energy equations, are conducted. The test results show that the solution time for solving the linear system can be reduced dramatically by using the local character-based method.

Recent calculations of photomeson neutrino production are reviewed, and new calculations of high-energy neutrinos and the accompanying hadronic cascade radiation are presented. If hadrons are injected in GRB blast waves with an energy corresponding to the measured hard X-ray/soft gamma-ray emission, then only the most powerful bursts at fluence levels >~ 3e-4 erg cm^{-2} offer a realistic prospect for detection of muon neutrinos. Detection of high-energy neutrinos are likely if GRB blast waves have large baryon loads and Doppler factors

description: The advent of on-demand mobility systems is expected to have a tremendous potential on the wellness of transportation users in cities. Yet such positive effects are reached when the systems under consideration enable seamless integration between data sources that involve a high number of transportation actors. In this paper we report on the effort of designing and deploying an integrated system, including algorithms and platforms, that can operate in cities, in an Internet of Things (IoT)-aware fashion. The system was evaluated by enabling/disabling the IoT components of the system, highlighting the necessity of real-time data integration for efficient mobility services.

description: Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in cold gases can be turned on and off by an external potential, such as that presented by an optical lattice. We present a model of this phenomenon which we are able to analyze rigorously. The system is a hard core lattice gas at half-filling and the optical lattice is modeled by a periodic potential of strength $λ$. For small $λ$ and temperature, BEC is proved to occur, while at large $λ$ or temperature there is no BEC. At large $λ$ the low-temperature states are in a Mott insulator phase with a characteristic gap that is absent in the BEC phase. The interparticle interaction is essential for this transition, which occurs even in the ground state. Surprisingly, the condensation is always into the $p=0$ mode in this model, although the density itself has the periodicity of the imposed potential.

Central Bank of Nigeria, Corporate Governance and the Quest for Sustainable Banking System in Nigeria: An Exploratory Analysis
Creators: name: Okodugha, Nathaniel
Publisher: name: University of East London
Year: 2020

description: This study intends to achieve two objectives. First, the thesis seeks to thoroughly investigate the role of the Central Bank of Nigeria in ensuring that banks comply with the code of corporate governance (CG) and secondly to examine the level of compliance with the law of corporate governance by Nigeria banks pre 2009 and post 2009. Various activities such as insider abuse, poor governance practices, erosion of depositors’ funds and poor compliance culture which are considered inimical to the sustainable banks in Nigeria, necessitate a research study of this nature. This study will help unravel the challenges affecting compliance in the Nigeria banking sector, based on the perceptions gotten from the respondents. Three theories were considered suitable for this research, one the agency theory because of its dominant position in corporate governance. The second theory used for this work was the stakeholder theory. This theory was considered appropriate due to the governance issues affecting banks and number of stakeholders involved in banks compared to non-financial firms and finally institutional isomorphism theory, because of the institutional factors prevalent in a developing nation like Nigeria. Employing an interpretivism research philosophy, the research study adopts a qualitative research strategy. Data was collected using semi-structured, face-to-face/telephone interviews from three groups of stakeholders (regulators, bank employees and bank depositors). To aid data triangulation and improve the credibility and trustworthiness of the data collected, other sources of data, such as focus group and document review, were also collected. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. In highlighting the barriers to compliance of corporate governance codes in the banks under the purview of the Central Bank of Nigeria, this study revealed that factors such as regulatory forbearance and regulatory capture are still affecting the effectiveness of the CBN in ensuring the banks are fully compliant to the CG codes. Also, due to the institutional factors such as judiciary system, legal system and lack of political will, the CBN is constrained from using its powers, to effect a change of the culture of compliance in the Nigeria deposit banks. Finally, the recommendations of this study provide insight into how the Central Bank of Nigeria can ensure Nigerian banks are sustainable, through the best practice of corporate governance.

description: The perturbative expansion of Chern-Simons gauge theory leads to invariants of knots and links, the finite type invariants or Vassiliev invariants. It has been proven that at any order in perturbation theory the resulting expression is an invariant of that order. Bott-Taubes integrals on configuration spaces are introduced in the present context to write Feynman diagrams at a given order in perturbation theory in a geometrical and topological setting. One of the consequences of the configuration space formalism is that the resulting amplitudes are given in cohomological terms. This cohomological structure can be used to translate Bott-Taubes integrals into Chern-Simons perturbative amplitudes and vice versa. In this article this program is performed up to third order in the coupling constant. This expands some work previously worked out by Thurston. Finally we take advantage of these results to incorporate in the formalism a smooth and divergenceless vector field on the $3$-manifold. The Bott-Taubes integrals obtained are used for constructing higher-order asymptotic Vassiliev invariants extending the work of Komendarczyk and Volić.

description: Farmer cooperatives are more effective in securing favorable government decisions when they have an active, structured public policy program. Members play important roles in shaping and implementing that program. A cooperative should develop a written set of policy resolutions and a regular procedure for revising those resolutions. The public policy program should include a plan to implement the resolutions through personal contacts with policymakers and coordinated efforts with other cooperatives and interest groups through coalitions and trade associations. The cooperative always strives to act with an abundance of credibility and patience so policymakers will trust, and even seek out, its advice.
Quantum teleportation by particle-hole annihilation in the Fermi sea

description: A tunnel barrier in a degenerate electron gas was recently discovered as a source of entangled particle-hole excitations. The entanglement is produced by elastic tunneling events, without requiring electron-electron interactions. Here we investigate the inverse process, the annihilation of an electron and a hole by elastic scattering. We find that this process leads to teleportation of the (unknown) state of the annihilated electron to a second, distant electron -- if the latter was previously entangled with the annihilated hole. We propose an experiment, involving low-frequency noise measurements on a two-dimensional electron gas in a high magnetic field, to detect teleportation of electrons and holes in the two lowest Landau levels.

description: The ability to consistently distinguish real protein structures from computationally generated model decoys is not yet a solved problem. One route to distinguish real protein structures from decoys is to delineate the important physical features that specify a real protein. For example, it has long been appreciated that the hydrophobic cores of proteins contribute significantly to their stability. As a dataset of decoys to compare with real protein structures, we studied submissions to the bi-annual CASP competition (specifically CASP11, 12, and 13), in which researchers attempt to predict the structure of a protein only knowing its amino acid sequence. Our analysis reveals that many of the submissions possess cores that do not recapitulate the features that define real proteins. In particular, the model structures appear more densely packed (because of energetically unfavorable atomic overlaps), contain too few residues in the core, and have improper distributions of hydrophobic residues throughout the structure. Based on these observations, we developed a deep learning method, which incorporates key physical features of protein cores, to predict how well a computational model recapitulates the real protein structure without knowledge of the structure of the target sequence. By identifying the important features of protein structure, our method is able to rank decoys from the CASP competitions equally well, if not better than, state-of-the-art methods that incorporate many additional features.

Two-dimensional quantum-corrected black hole in a finite size cavity

description: We consider the gravitation-dilaton theory (not necessarily exactly solvable), whose potentials represent a generic linear combination of an exponential and linear functions of the dilaton. A black hole, arising in such theories, is supposed to be enclosed in a cavity, where it attains thermal equilibrium, whereas outside the cavity the field is in the Boulware state. We calculate quantum corrections to the Hawking temperature $T_{H}$, with the contribution from the boundary taken into account. Vacuum polarization outside the shell tend to cool the system. We find that, for the shell to be in the thermal equilibrium, it cannot be placed too close to the horizon. The quantum corrections to the mass due to vacuum polarization vanish in spite of non-zero quantum stresses. We discuss also the canonical boundary conditions and show that accounting for the finiteness of the system plays a crucial role in some theories (e.g., CGHS), where it enables to define the stable canonical ensemble, whereas consideration in an infinite space would predict instability.

description: Even with a third consecutive year of record crop yields, profitability decreased slightly for the 104 farms included in the 2017 annual report of the Southwestern Minnesota Farm Business Management Association. The average farm earned $84,767 in 2017, down from just under $89,000 in 2016. Earnings received in the recent past are historically low compared to those received in the first half of the decade. The average farm earned a rate of return on assets of only 2%. Crop farm incomes declined due to lower yielding soybeans and lower prices received for corn. Earnings for all types of livestock operations were up somewhat from the previous year, but the median producer earned only $32,800 from farm operations.

description: Farmers' financial problems translate to areawide distress, at least in the short run—more for some farming regions, States, and communities than others. The vulnerability of an area to the financial crisis in farming depends on the financial conditions of its farmers, its dependence on farming, especially on export-sensitive crops, and the strength of its nonfarm economy. We discuss here these factors and show which areas are most affected by them.

description: Cooperative tax rules are a logical combination of the unique attributes of a cooperative and the income tax scheme in the Internal Revenue Code. The single tax principle is applied to earnings from business conducted on a cooperative basis in recognition of the special relationship between the members and their cooperative associations. Cooperatives have been granted a certain degree of flexibility in their financial and tax planning and should exercise their options effectively to maximize benefits for members.
