description: In most popular and scholarly accounts concerning the settlement of the Canadian West, some mention is made of the high degree of law and order. However, in contrast to what many of these works appear to assume, this supposition is not selfevident. Despite the countless claims, no one has yet come to grips with the complexities of this subject or presented a complete analysis of the nature of crime. This study represents an attempt to do so for one part of the Canadian West-- Southern Alberta. The predominance of unfounded assumptions about crime may simply reflect the difficulty of the subject matter. Discovering the pattern of crime from the legal records of the past, and analyzing its various forms, is not a task for which most historians have been trained to undertake. Apart from the difficulties of dealing with crime, another reason for the lack of detailed study may be the special problems posed by the Canadian situation. The image of a peaceful western frontier has persisted so long that many people undoubtedly accept it as historical fact. Moreover, this image has become part of Canada's national identity. Many writers claim that ours neither is, nor has been, a lawless society. Safe from the ugliness and reality of life, Canadian society has been characterized as a "peaceable kingdom." This national self-assessment makes it difficult for people to question the existence of crime in the nineteenth century. Thus, for a variety of reasons, we are left with incorrect notions or ignorance about much of the subject. Nevertheless, a phenomenon as complex as crime deserves more scholarly attention than it has previously received. The sources necessary to construct an empirical analysis of crime have always been available. For the most part these sources have been judicial records, supplemented by the descriptions of more or less knowledgeable people--Mounted Policemen, Indian Agents, and Justices of the Peace--concerning the conditions of the time. The utilization of these bodies of evidence can provide a more satisfactory judgment about the nature of crime. The central theme, which provides the main analytical framework for this investigation, is the relationship between criminal behavior and the frontier in Southern Alberta. What form and frequency did the incidence of crime take? What causal factors influenced criminal behavior? What were the attitudes of the local community toward crime? The answers which are provided undermine some common assumptions, not only about criminal behavior, but also about frontier life in general.

description: The decade of the 1930s in Canada has been characterized as a period of turbulence, social unrest and at times lawlessness. The more dramatic manifestations of the violence and disorder associated with the protests of the unemployed have been chronicled. Unfortunately, of the little commentary which exists on the general incidence of crime, the bulk consists of unsubstantiated and often contradictory personal observations. Certainly, a systematic examination of the pattern of crime, the offenders or the response of the police and the judiciary has been approached only reluctantly. This is particularly surprising in view of the availability of the most relevant sources for such an enquiry: police and court records. This study quantitatively addresses these questions through the examination of a single community--Calgary--both before and during the Depression. Arrest books of the municipal police for the selected years 1929 and 1934 supplemented by police court records and documents relating to civic government fonn the evidential basis of the analysis. The police records indicate the offence charged, the characteristics of those arrested and the disposition. From this one may assess the impact of the Depression on the amount or kind of crime committed by certain types of offenders and in turn the effect this had on the treatment of offenders. The relationship between poverty and crime as well as assumptions about the degree of judicial punitiveness in an economic crisis may therefore be tested. An investigation of these questions is imperative to a more thorough understanding of our social and legal response to the conditions of the 1930s.

description: We propose a scheme to implement geometric entangling gates for two logical qubits in a coupled cavity system in decoherence-free subspaces. Each logical qubit is encoded with two atoms trapped in a single cavity and the geometric entangling gates are achieved by cavity coupling and controlling the external classical laser fields. Based on the coupled cavity system, the scheme allows the scalability for quantum computing and relaxes the requirement for individually addressing atoms.

description: The viscosity of oxygen-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotube (O-MWCNT) nanofluids was measured for concentrations from 0.1 to 10 ppm under conditions of 0 to 30 MPag pressures and 0 to 10 C temperatures. The presence of O-MWCNTs did not affect the temperature dependence of viscosity but did reduce the effective viscosity of solution due to cumulative hydrogen bond-disrupting surface effects, which overcame internal drag forces. O-MWCNTs added a weak pressure dependence to the viscosity of solution because of their ability to align more with the flow direction as pressure increased. In the liquid to hydrate phase transition, the times to reach the maximum viscosity were faster in O-MWCNT systems compared to the pure water baseline. However, the presence of O-MWCNTs limited the conditions at which hydrates formed as increased nanoparticle collisions in those systems inhibited the formation of critical clusters of hydrate nuclei. The times to viscosity values most relevant to technological applications were minimally 28.02 % (200 mPa s) and 21.08 % (500 mPa s) slower than the baseline, both in the 1 ppm system, even though all systems were faster to the final viscosity. This was attributed to O-MWCNT entanglement, which resulted in a hydrate slurry occurring at lower viscosity values.

Percolation transition in quantum Ising and rotor models with sub-Ohmic dissipation

description: We investigate the influence of sub-Ohmic dissipation on randomly diluted quantum Ising and rotor models. The dissipation causes the quantum dynamics of sufficiently large percolation clusters to freeze completely. As a result, the zero-temperature quantum phase transition across the lattice percolation threshold separates an unusual super-paramagnetic cluster phase from an inhomogeneous ferromagnetic phase. We determine the low-temperature thermodynamic behavior in both phases which is dominated by large frozen and slowly fluctuating percolation clusters. We relate our results to the smeared transition scenario for disordered quantum phase transitions, and we compare the cases of sub-Ohmic, Ohmic, and super-Ohmic dissipation.

Seasonal modulation in the Borexino cosmic muon signal
Creators: name: D'Angelo, Davide
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Borexino is an organic liquid scintillator detector located in the underground Gran Sasso National Laboratory (Italy). It is devoted mainly to the real time spectroscopy of low energy solar neutrinos via the elastic scattering on electrons in the target mass. The data taking campaign started in 2007 and led to key measurements of 7}Be and 8B solar neutrinos as well as antineutrinos from the earth (geo-neutrinos) and from nuclear power reactors. Borexino is also a powerful tool for the study of cosmic muons that penetrate the Gran Sasso rock coverage and thereby induced signals such as neutrons and radioactive isotopes which are today of critical importance for upcoming dark matter and neutrino physics experiments. Having reached 4y of continuous data taking we analyze here the muon signal and its possible modulation. The muon flux is measured to be (3.41+-0.01)E-4/m2/s. A modulation of this signal with a yearly period is observed with an amplitude of (1.29+-0.07)% and a phase of (179+-6) d, corresponding to June 28th. Muon rate fluctuations are compared to fluctuations in the atmospheric temperature on a daily base, exploiting the most complete atmospheric data and models available. The distributions are shown to be positively correlated and the effective temperature coefficient is measured to be alpha_T = 0.93 +- 0.04. This result is in good agreement with the expectations of the kaon-inclusive model at the laboratory site and represents an improvement over previous measurements performed at the same depth.

title: Population ecology of Arctic skuas Stercorarius parasiticus, on Foula
Creators: name: Phillips, Richard A.
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Ecology.

description: 1. The taxonomy, breeding distribution, current status and role of plumage polymorphism in the population dynamics of Arctic skuas are discussed. Information on recent changes in sandeel recruitment in Shetland waters is provided, and some general methods used throughout the thesis are outlined. 2. Both Arctic skua chick growth and fledging success were depressed during the years of low sandeel Ammodytes marinus availability, particularly from 1987 to 1990. Adults spent considerably longer foraging in 1987 than they did in 1979, or from 1992 to 1994. However, they were able to breed with moderate success up until at least 1986, in sharp contrast to Arctic terns which failed from 1983 to 1990. 3. The relationships between both chick growth and number of chicks fledged per pair of Arctic skuas, and fisheries-based and avian indices of food availability were better described by threshold effects rather than linear functions. 4. The size of the Arctic skua breeding population in each year and the level of net recruitment (the difference between the observed numbers in a given year and the expected number of breeders surviving from the previous year) correlated with the size and productivity of the Arctic tern breeding population on Foula and an independent fisheries-based index of 0-group and 1-group sandeel abundance in Shetland waters. 5. There was significant annual variation in mean hatching date, clutch size and egg volume, but not hatching success or chick survival to a week. Mean clutch size and egg volume were lowest in 1979 in comparison with 1987 and 1992-1994. Hatching date showed a strong positive relationship with the net recruitment index. It was suggested that these results were a consequence of a change in the age structure of the Arctic skua population since the late 1970s. 6. Analysis of kleptoparasitic interactions of Arctic skuas Stercorarius parasiticus foraging within sight of Foula indicated that the skuas were able to switch hosts if particular species (notably Arctic terns Sterna paradisaea) were breeding unsuccessfully in a given year. 7. Breeding Arctic skua adults appeared to be in poorer body condition in 1988, the second year of particularly low sandeel recruitment, and there was also strong evidence that many established pairs deferred breeding in that year and in 1990. Changes in behaviour may therefore act as a buffer allowing Arctic skuas to withstand some degree of reduced prey availability but this appears to involve at least some longer-term costs.

On perturbative limits of quadrupole evolution in QCD at high energy

description: We consider the perturbative (weak field) limit of the small $x$ QCD evolution equation for quadrupole, the normalized trace of four Wilson lines in the fundamental representation, which appears in di-hadron angular correlation in high energy collisions. We linearize the quadrupole evolution equation and then expand the Wilson lines in powers of $g\, A_μ$ where $A_μ$ is the gauge field. The quadratic terms in the expansion ($\sim g^2\, A^2$) satisfy the BFKL equation as has been recently shown. We then consider the quartic terms ($\sim g^4\, A^4$) in the expansion and show that the linearized quadrupole evolution equation, written in terms of color charge density $ρ$, reduces to the well-known BJKP equation for the imaginary part of four-reggeized gluon exchange amplitude. We comment on the possibility that the BJKP equation for the evolution of a $n$-reggeized gluon state can be obtained from the JIMWLK evolution equation for the normalized trace of $n$ fundamental Wilson lines when non-linear (recombination) terms are neglected.

description: Let (X1, Y1), . . ., (Xn, Yn) be i.i.d. rvs and let l(x) be the unknown p-quantile regression curve of Y on X. A quantile-smoother ln(x) is a localised, nonlinear estimator of l(x). The strong uniform consistency rate is established under general conditions. In many applications it is necessary to know the stochastic fluctuation of the process {ln(x) - l(x)}. Using strong approximations of the empirical process and extreme value theory allows us to consider the asymptotic maximal deviation sup06x61 |ln(x)-l(x)|. The derived result helps in the construction of a uniform confidence band for the quantile curve l(x). This confidence band can be applied as a model check, e.g. in econometrics. An application considers a labour market discrimination effect.

description: Students are able to produce correctly functioning program code even though they have a fragile understanding of how it actually works. Questions derived automatically from individual exercise submissions (QLC) can probe if and how well the students understand the structure and logic of the code they just created. Prior research studied this approach in the context of the first programming course. We replicate the study on a follow-up programming course for engineering students which contains a recap of general concepts in CS1. The task was the classic rainfall problem which was solved by 90% of the students. The QLCs generated from each passing submission were kept intentionally simple, yet 27% of the students failed in at least one of them. Students who struggled with questions about their own program logic had a lower median for overall course points than students who answered correctly.

description: In this paper, we develop a three-dimensional multiple-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann method (MRT-LBM) based on a set of non-orthogonal basis vectors. Compared with the classical MRT-LBM based on a set of orthogonal basis vectors, the present non-orthogonal MRT-LBM simplifies the transformation between the discrete velocity space and the moment space, and exhibits better portability across different lattices. The proposed method is then extended to multiphase flows at large density ratio with tunable surface tension, and its numerical stability and accuracy are well demonstrated by some benchmark cases. Using the proposed method, a practical case of a fuel droplet impacting on a dry surface at high Reynolds and Weber numbers is simulated and the evolution of the spreading film diameter agrees well with the experimental data. Furthermore, another realistic case of a droplet impacting on a super-hydrophobic wall with a cylindrical obstacle is reproduced, which confirms the experimental finding of Liu \textit{et al.} [``Symmetry breaking in drop bouncing on curved surfaces," Nature communications 6, 10034 (2015)] that the contact time is minimized when the cylinder radius is comparable with the droplet cylinder.

description: The measurement outcomes of two incompatible observables on a particle can be precisely predicted when it is maximally entangled with a quantum memory, as quantified recently [Nature Phys. 6, 659 (2010)]. We explore the behavior of the uncertainty relation under the influence of local unital and nonunital noisy channels. While the unital noises only increase the amount of uncertainty, the amplitude-damping nonunital noises may amazingly reduce the amount of uncertainty in the long-time limit. This counterintuitive phenomenon could be justified by different competitive mechanisms between quantum correlations and the minimal missing information after local measurement.

description: The discovery of a relationship between supermassive black hole (SMBH) mass and spiral arm pitch angle (P) is evidence that SMBHs are tied to the overall secular evolution of a galaxy. The discovery of SMBHs in late-type galaxies with little or no bulge suggests that an underlying correlation between the dark matter halo concentration and SMBH mass (MBH) exists, rather than between the bulge mass and MBH. In this paper we measure P using a two-dimensional fast fourier transform and estimate the bar pattern speeds of 40 barred spiral galaxies from the Carnegie-Irvine Galaxy Survey. The pattern speeds were derived by estimating the gravitational potentials of our galaxies from Ks-band images and using them to produce dynamical simulation models. The pattern speeds allow us to identify those galaxies with low central dark halo densities, or fast rotating bars, while P provides an estimate of MBH. We find that a wide range of MBH exists in galaxies with low central dark matter halo densities, which appears to support other theoretical results. We also find that galaxies with low central dark halo densities appear to follow more predictable trends in P versus de Vaucouleurs morphological type (T) and bar strength versus T than barred galaxies in general. The empirical relationship between MBH and total gravitational mass of a galaxy (Mtot) allows us to predict the minimum Mtot that will be observationally measured of our fast bar galaxies. These predictions will be investigated in a subsequent paper.

The strength of pairing interactions is determined to reproduce empirical odd-even mass differences in a wide region of mass table. By using the optimal parameter, we perform global HF+BCS calculations of nuclei and compare with experimental data. The importance of isospin dependence of the pairing interaction is singled out for odd-even mass differences in medium and heavy isotopes. The proton and neutron radii are studied systematically by using the same model.

description: Objective: This review analyzed the effectiveness of SFBT as a school-based intervention by synthesizing and comparing results from the English and Chinese literature. Method: In order to achieve a rigorous analysis, the search aligned with the Cochrane guidelines. Fifty studies, containing 246 effect size estimates and a total of 2,921 participants, were included in the review. Data on study and intervention characteristics were extracted using a pre-defined coding sheet. Analysis involved the calculation of Hedges’ g effect sizes and utilized Robust Variance Estimation in meta-regression to estimate an overall treatment effect and moderator analyses. Results: Combining both English and Chinese studies, an overall treatment effect size estimate of SFBT for student outcomes was d = 0.176, p < 0.001. The treatment effect of SFBT for student outcomes was significantly greater in comparison to waitlist control (d = 1.690, p < 0.01), but not significantly different than treatment-as-usual (d = 0.140, p < 0.05) or to alternative interventions (d = 0.103, p = 0.504). Conclusions: These findings add to the body of literature on SFBT’s effectiveness for student outcomes. Given empirical evidence from both English and Chinese studies, SFBT demonstrates promising efficacy as a mental health intervention for school-based therapists.

We discuss the energy dependence of the difference in $v_2$ between particles and anti-particles. The $v_2$ of $ϕ$ meson is observed to be systematically lower than other particles in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 11.5 GeV.

description: Financial contagion and systemic risk measures are commonly derived from conditional quantiles by using imposed model assumptions such as a linear parametrization. In this paper, we provide model free measures for contagion and systemic risk which are independent of the specification of conditional quantiles and simple to interpret. The proposed systemic risk measure relies on the contagion measure, whose tail behavior is theoretically studied. To emphasize contagion from extreme events, conditional quantiles are specified via hierarchical Archimedean copula. The parameters and structure of this copula are simultaneously estimated by imposing a non-concave penalty on the structure. Asymptotic properties of this sparse estimator are derived and small sample properties illustrated using simulations. We apply the proposed framework to investigate the interconnectedness between American, European and Australasian stock market indices, providing new and interesting insights into the relationship between systemic risk and contagion. In particular, our findings suggest that the systemic risk contribution from contagion in tail areas is typically lower during times of financial turmoil, while it can be significantly higher during periods of low volatility.

description: This paper provides an overview of the of digital mental health (DMHI) interventions for depression. The paper begins with a description of the clinical context and services needs for persons experiencing depressed mood. It is well-known that there is a large gap between the availability of evidence-supported psychotherapy for depression and the large number of people who would likely benefit from it. DHMIs based on a cognitive-behavioral (CBT) model have shown substantial promise as a method to deliver tested-effective treatment to large numbers of people experiencing depression. The article continues with a review of clinical research evaluating DMHIs for depression with a special emphasis on CBT. The article also reviews both the strengths and challenges associated with the clinical use of DHMI for depression. Next, the article continues with a description of a newly-developed DHMI for depression that uses an entertaining approach to deliver well-established CBT strategies. Finally, the paper concludes with a discussion of the need for further research and development of DHMIs for persons experiencing depression.

description: All nurses must be adequately prepared to care for individuals requesting Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) due to the practical, ethical, personal, and legal ramifications associated with MAiD. Nurses are both professionally and legally obligated to be knowledgeable and skilled in navigating the care of individuals requesting MAiD. This qualitative systematic review explored the knowledge and education needs identified by nurses regarding MAiD. This qualitative systematic review was conducted following the JBI methodology for systematic reviews of qualitative evidence, including critical appraisal, study selection, data extraction and data synthesis. Four themes were identified: 1) ethical and moral challenges, 2) legislation and standards, 3) communication, and 4) mandatory MAiD education. The information and practice recommendations found within this review can be used to support the knowledge and education needs of all nursing students and practicing nurses throughout Canada.
Safe Sport for Whom?: Are National Sport Organizations Addressing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action for Sport Through Safe Sport Policies?

description: The Truth and Reconciliation Commissions (TRC) outlined 94 Calls to Action (CTA) that are essential to address reconciliation in Canada (TRC, 2015). Five (Calls 87-91) of those CTA were related to sport. One of those Calls, Call 90, emphasized the need for national sport organizations (NSOs) in Canada to create inclusive policies and programming with an emphasis on anti-racism awareness and training. Similarly, safe sport in Canada was created as an initiative to address maltreatment, discrimination, and harassment in sport. In 2019, the federal government mandated NSOs to create safe sport policies and programming. However, there has been no such mandate to implement the TRC's CTA. The TRC's CTA 90 and safe sport have been treated as separate issues and there has been no effort to see how these two initiatives could inform each other. Through the use of Bacchi's (2012) "What's the Problem Represented to be" approach and applying a settler colonial lens to my analysis, I investigated how NSO staff and safe sport policymakers are constructing safe sport in Canada and if that included addressing anti-Indigenous racism. Through 10 semi-structured interviews from participants representing a total of eight NSOs as well as archival research of safe sport and equity, diversity, and inclusion policies, I found that the participants and the policies produced three discourses: 1) Anti-Indigenous racism does not require a separate policy; 2) policies alone are insufficient: Safe sport education and resources are needed to address anti-Indigenous racism; 3) the TRC's CTA are not being treated as a priority by Sport Canada but NSOs want to act in consultation with Indigenous organizations. These discourses provide insights into how NSOs are constructing safe sport in Canada, leaving anti-Indigenous racism unproblematized, and thus furthering settler colonialism.

description: Myocardial infarction is the primary diagnosis to rule out in emergency department chest pain patients. In this retrospective, multi-site study, we compared logistic regression (LR) with machine learning (ML) in predicting which patients were at risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and abnormal troponin. Of the 1,538 patients identified over 43 days, 1,014 were retained of whom 70 suffered a MACE. LR and ML models for MACE were internally validated and achieved similar area under curve (AUC): 0.89 (95% CI: 0.87, 0.93) and 0.92 (95% CI: 0.89, 0.94) respectively. Abnormal troponin models had overlapping AUCs. Two novel clinical decision scores were derived: the Preliminary Chest Pain Risk Score with a sensitivity of 100.00% (95% CI: 94.87%, 100.00%) for identifying low risk chest pain patients and the Ultra-Low Risk Troponin Score which could be used in lieu of troponin. Future prospective studies will be required to externally validate these scores.

description: 6G and beyond networks will merge communication and computation capabilities in order to adapt to changes. As they will consist of many sensors gathering information from its environment, new schemes for managing these large amounts of data are needed. For this purpose, we review Over the Air (OTA) computing in the context of estimation and detection. For distributed scenarios, such as a Wireless Sensor Network, it has been proven that a separation theorem does not necessarily hold, whereas analog schemes may outperform digital designs. We outline existing gaps in the literature, evincing that current state of the art requires a theoretical framework based on analog and hybrid digital-analog schemes that will boost the evolution of OTA computing. Furthermore, we motivate the development of 3D networks based on OTA schemes, where satellites function as sensors. We discuss its integration within the satellite segment, delineate current challenges and present a variety of use cases that benefit from OTA computing in 3D networks.
