description: In this short review, we summarize our present understanding (and non-understanding) of exoplanet formation, structure and evolution, in the light of the most recent discoveries. Recent observations of transiting massive brown dwarfs seem to remarkably confirm the predicted theoretical mass-radius relationship in this domain. This mass-radius relationship provides, in some cases, a powerful diagnostic to distinguish planets from brown dwarfs of same mass, as for instance for Hat-P-20b. If confirmed, this latter observation shows that planet formation takes place up to at least 8 Jupiter masses. Conversely, observations of brown dwarfs down to a few Jupiter masses in young, low-extinction clusters strongly suggest an overlapping mass domain between (massive) planets and (low-mass) brown dwarfs, i.e. no mass edge between these two distinct (in terms of formation mechanism) populations. At last, the large fraction of heavy material inferred for many of the transiting planets confirms the core-accretion scenario as been the dominant one for planet formation.

description: Dynamics of external cavity semiconductor lasers is known to be a complex and uncontrollable phenomenon. Due to the lack of experimental studies on the nature of the external cavity semiconductor lasers, there is a need to theoretically clarify laser dynamics. The stability of laser dynamics in the present paper, is analyzed through plotting the Lyapunov exponent spectra, bifurcation diagrams, phase portrait and electric field intensity time series. The analysis is preformed with respect to applied feedback phase $C_p$, feedback strength $η$ and the pump current of the laser. The main argument of the paper is to show that the laser dynamics can not be accounted for through simply a bifurcation diagram and single-control parameter. The comparison of the obtained results provides a very detailed picture of the qualitative changes in laser dynamics.

description: An array of seismometers is being developed at the Sanford Underground Laboratory, the former Homestake mine, in South Dakota to study the properties of underground seismic fields and Newtonian noise, and to investigate the possible advantages of constructing a third-generation gravitational-wave detector underground. Seismic data were analyzed to characterize seismic noise and disturbances. External databases were used to identify sources of seismic waves: ocean-wave data to identify sources of oceanic microseisms, and surface wind-speed data to investigate correlations with seismic motion as a function of depth. In addition, sources of events contributing to the spectrum at higher frequencies are characterized by studying the variation of event rates over the course of a day. Long-term observations of spectral variations provide further insight into the nature of seismic sources. Seismic spectra at three different depths are compared, establishing the 4100-ft level as a world-class low seismic-noise environment.

description: We perform density functional theory calculations for the determination of the structural and electronic properties of epitaxial graphene on 4H-SiC(000$\bar{1}$). Using commensurate supercells that minimize non-physical stresses we show that, in contrast with Si-face epitaxial films, the first graphene layer that forms on the C-face of SiC is purely metallic with its $π$-bands partially preserved. Typical free-standing characteristics are fully recovered with a second graphene layer. We moreover discuss on the magnetic properties of the interface and the absence of Fermi-level pinning effects that could allow for a plausible device operation starting from the off-state.

A narrative exploration of the process of transitioning out of street sex work
Creators: name: Klubben, Laura M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Women’s experience of entering, involvement in, and exiting street sex work is frequently confounded by issues such as addiction, poverty, abuse, trauma, and disempowerment. Many female street prostitutes report a lack of choice in entering sex work as well as a desire to leave the sex industry. While considerable quantitative research exists on aspects of involvement in the sex industry, there is a dearth of qualitative literature on exiting the street sex industry. Furthermore, few studies take a critical perspective, leaving out a contextual understanding of the process. To support female street sex workers wanting to exit, it is imperative to learn from those who have successfully left the sex industry. Using an indigenous feminist theoretical framework to inform a collaborative narrative research design, this study explored eight women’s stories of the process of exiting the street sex trade in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Results revealed the following seven themes: (a) relapsing and readiness to change, (b) a need for stability and time for reflection, (c) goal setting and perspective, (d) systemic and structural barriers, (e) support and community, (f) mental and emotional health, and (g) finding meaning and purpose. This study provides an in-depth and critical understanding of the exiting process in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside for female street prostitutes. Potential implications concerning the Downtown Eastside community, counselling psychology training, theory, and research are discussed in attempt to make the transition out of the street sex trade easier for women who desire to do so in the future.

From Lu Xun’s “save the children” to Mao’s “the world is yours” : children's literature in China, 1920s-1960s.
Creators: name: Stroganova, Evgenia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: In 1929 the leading Chinese intellectual Hu Shi said: “To understand the degree to which a particular culture is civilized, we must appraise … how it handles its children.” In 1957, Chairman Mao told Chinese youth that “both the world and China’s future belonged to them.” In both eras, cultural leaders placed children and youth in the centre of cultural and political discourse associating them with the nation’s future. This thesis compares Chinese children’s literature during the Republican period (1912-1949) and the early People’s Republic of 1949-1966, until the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) and argues that children’s writers who worked in both new Chinas treated youth and children as key agents in building a nation-state. In this thesis, I focus on the works of three prominent writers, Ye Shengtao (1894-1988), Bing Xin (1900-1999) and Zhang Tianyi (1906-1985) who wrote children’s literature and were prominent cultural figures in both eras. Their writing careers make for excellent case studies in how children’s literature changed from one political era to another. I conduct thematic and stylistic textual analysis of their works and read them against their historical and cultural backgrounds to determine how children’s writings changed and why. As anticipated, I showed that during both eras, children’s literature and politics were closely related. Another expected finding is that the manner of writing for children changed significantly as children from victims turned into active agents of the nation’s future. Challenging the view that children’s writers of the early People’s Republic merely followed the Party line, I argue that Ye, Bing, and Zhang remained loyal to the task of “saving children.” Another unexpected finding is that the Chinese Communist Party did not invent new cultural policies toward children from scratch, but employed numerous policies and ideas, including literary ideas, of the Nationalist regime that also inherited much from the late Qing.
The monodromy matrix in the F-basis for arbitrary six-vertex models

description: We present the expressions for the monodromy matrix elements of the six-vertex model in the F-basis for arbitrary Boltzmann weights. The results rely solely on the property of unitarity and Yang-Baxter relations, avoiding any specific parameterization of the weights. This allows us to write complete algebraic expressions for the inner products and the underlying domain wall partition functions in the case of arbitrary rapidities. We then apply our results for the trigonometric six-vertex model in the presence of inhomogeneous electric fields and obtain a determinant formula for the respective on-shell scalar products.

Some variations of the reduction of one-loop Feynman tensor integrals
Creators: name: Fleischer, Jochem
name: Riemann, Tord
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We present a new algorithm for the reduction of one-loop \emph{tensor} Feynman integrals with $n\leq 4$ external legs to \emph{scalar} Feynman integrals $I_n^D$ with $n=3,4$ legs in $D$ dimensions, where $D=d+2l$ with integer $l \geq 0$ and generic dimension $d=4-2ε$, thus avoiding the appearance of inverse Gram determinants $()_4$. As long as $()_4\neq 0$, the integrals $I_{3,4}^D$ with $D>d$ may be further expressed by the usual dimensionally regularized scalar functions $I_{2,3,4}^d$. The integrals $I_{4}^D$ are known at $()_4 \equiv 0$, so that we may extend the numerics to small, non-vanishing $()_4$ by applying a dimensional recurrence relation. A numerical example is worked out. Together with a recursive reduction of 6- and 5-point functions, derived earlier, the calculational scheme allows a stabilized reduction of $n$-point functions with $n\leq 6$ at arbitrary phase space points. The algorithm is worked out explicitely for tensors of rank $R\leq n$.

description: It is shown that the excitation of charge carriers by ac electric field with zero average driving leads to a direct electric current in quantum well structures. The current emerges for both linear and circular polarization of the ac electric field and depends on the field polarization and frequency. We present a micoscopic model and an analytical theory of such a nonlinear electron transport in quantum wells with structure inversion asymmetry. In such systems, dc current is induced by ac electric field which has both the in-plane and out-of-plane components. The ac field polarized in the interface plane gives rise to a direct current if the quantum well is subjected to an in-plane static magnetic field.

Recent STAR results and prospects of $W^{-(+)}$ boson production in polarized $\vec{p}+\vec{p}$ collisions at RHIC
Creators: name: Seele, Joseph
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In 2009, the RHIC spin physics program completed the first data taking period of polarized $\vec{p}+\vec{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 500$ GeV, accumulating ~12 pb$^{-1}$ with ~39% beam polarization. This opens a new era in the study of the spin-flavor structure of the proton based on the production of $W^{-(+)}$ bosons. $W^{-(+)}$ bosons are produced in $\bar{u}+d (\bar{d}+u)$ collisions and can be detected through their leptonic decays, $e^-+\bar{ν_e}(e^++ν_e)$, where only the respective charged lepton is measured. The discrimination of $\bar{u}+d$ and $\bar{d}+u$ quark combinations requires distinguishing the charge sign of high $p_T$ electrons and positrons, which in turn requires precise tracking information. At mid-rapidity, STAR relies on the Time Projection Chamber. At forward rapidity, new tracking capabilities will be provided by the Forward GEM Tracker, consisting of six triple-GEM detectors which are under construction. The suppression of QCD background over W boson signal events by several orders of magnitude is accomplished by using the highly segmented STAR Electromagnetic Calorimeters to impose isolation criteria suppressing jet events, and vetoing dijet events based on the measured away side energy. The status of the STAR results on the first measurements of the cross section and single spin asymmetry for $W^{-(+)}$ boson production in polarized $\vec{p}+\vec{p}$ collisions will be presented along with a discussion of prospects involving the STAR Forward GEM Tracker.

description: We present the spatial distributions of dust and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the elliptical galaxy NGC4125, revealed by AKARI and Spitzer. NGC4125 is relatively bright in the dust and the PAH emision for elliptical galaxies, although it certainly possesses diffuse interstellar hot plasma indicated by the high spatial resolution X-ray data of Chandra. We investigate how the dust and PAHs interact with the X-ray plasma or avoid the interaction by comparing their spatial distributions. We find that the distributions of the PAHs and dust are different from each other, both showing a significant deviation from a smooth stellar distribution. The PAH emission predominantly comes from a dust lane, a compact dense molecular gas region in the galactic center, where the PAHs are likely to have been protected from the interaction with the X-ray plasma. The dust emission has more extended structures similar to the distribution of the X-ray plasma, suggesting their interaction to some extent. We also discuss a possible origin of the dust and PAHs in the galaxy.

description: Context. The properties of the X-ray emission lines are a fundamental tool for studying the nature of the matter surrounding the neutron star and the phenomena that produce these lines. Aims. The aim of this work is to analyze the X-ray spectrum of 4U 1538-52 obtained by the XMM-Newton observatory and to look for the presence of diagnostic lines in the energy range 0.3-11.5 keV. Methods. We used a 54 ks PN & MOS/XMM-Newton observation of the high mass X-ray binary 4U 1538-52 covering the orbital phase between 0.75 to 1.00 (the eclipse-ingress). We have modelled the 0.3-11.5 keV continuum emission with three absorbed power laws and looked for the emission lines. Results. We found previously unreported recombination lines, in this system, at 2.4 keV, 1.9 keV and 1.3 keV, consistent with the presence of highly ionized states of S XV He?, Si XIII He? and Mg K? or Mg XI He?. On the other hand, both out of eclipse and in eclipse we detect a fluorescence iron emission line at 6.4 keV which is resolved into two components: a narrow ($σ\leq$ 10 eV) fluorescence Fe K? line plus one hot line from highly photoionized Fe XXV. Conclusions. The detection of new recombination lines during eclipse-ingress in 4U 1538-52 indicates that there is an extended ionized region surrounding the neutron star.

description: Putting dynamics into random matrix models leads to finitely many nonintersecting Brownian motions on the real line for the eigenvalues, as was discovered by Dyson. Applying scaling limits to the random matrix models, combined with Dyson's dynamics, then leads to interesting, infinite-dimensional diffusions for the eigenvalues. This paper studies the relationship between two of the models, namely the Airy and Pearcey processes and more precisely shows how to approximate the multi-time statistics for the Pearcey process by the one of the Airy process with the help of a PDE governing the gap probabilities for the Pearcey process.

In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: Operators on probability distributions can be expressed as operators on the associated moment sequences, and so correspond to operators on integer sequences. Thus, there is an opportunity to apply each theory to the other. Moreover, probability models can be sources of integer sequences, both classical and new, as we show by considering the classical M/G/1 single-server queueing model. We identify moment sequences that are integer sequences. We establish connections between the M/M/1 busy period distribution and the Catalan and Schroeder numbers.

Eschatogonia prolifera

description: Eschatogonia prolifera (Mont.) R. Sant. This species was previously known for Thailand and Khao Yai National Park (Wolseley et al. 2002), but no chemistry was reported in that paper. This would have been interesting, because Timdal (2007) reported two chemotypes for E. prolifera, namely didymic acid and accessory compounds occurring in South American specimens and sekikaic acid, homosekikaic acid and zeorin in African specimens. In the Thai specimen cited below, we found didymic and subdidymic acids as major substances and zeorin as a minor metabolite. Thus this Thai specimen represents a third, previously unknown chemotype. Specimen examined:— THAILAND. Nakhon Ratchasima Province: Pak Chong District; Khao Yai National Park at km 33, in a pristine dry evergreen forest, 810 m, 14°27’48’’ N, 101°22’14’’ E, 12 March 2011, K. Kalb & K.

Malmidea badimioides

description: Malmidea badimioides (Cáceres & Lücking) Cáceres & Kalb This species was recently described from the Mata Atlântica of northeastern Brazil (Cáceres 2007). It is readily recognized by apothecia with a granifera - type exciple and the orange-brown to brown-red colour of the discs. Althoug the hypothecium in the specimen below is more intensely coloured than in the type, cochromatography of both in solvents A, B’ and C revealed an identical array of at least 6 unknown substances, but no atranorin could be detected by TLC (Elix & Ernst-Russell 1993). Malmidea badimioides is a new addition to the Mexican lichen biota and is reported from the Northern Hemisphere for the first time. Specimen examined:— MEXICO. Chiapas: Near Palenque, in a very dark and humid pristine rainforest near the Maya ruins, 150 m, 17°29’ N, 92°3’ W, 22 January 1979, K. Kalb & G. Plöbst (hb. Kalb 38239).

Quantifying iron levels in the YAC128 mouse model of Huntington's Disease
Creators: name: Muller, Michelle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Huntington's Disease (HD) is one of many neurodegenerative diseases with reported alterations in brain iron homeostasis. Many neurodegenerative diseases exist which are characterized by brain iron accumulation. Whether elevated brain iron occurs in HD, and whether it plays a significant contributory role in pathogenesis or is a secondary effect is currently unclear. Iron accumulation in specific brain areas of neurodegeneration in HD has been proposed based on observations in post-mortem tissue and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies. Altered MRI signal within specific brain regions undergoing neurodegeneration has been consistently reported and interpreted as altered levels of brain iron. Biochemical studies using various techniques to measure iron species in human samples, mouse tissue, or in vitro has generated equivocal data to support such an association. I have reviewed previous and current published literature reporting iron alterations and summarized the findings in this dissertation. Current consensus remains unclear if iron plays a contributing role, and further studies that modulate iron levels in HD models to assess the effects of iron are required. The experimental aim of this thesis was to measure iron-related changes in the YAC128 HD mouse model with the hypothesis that this mouse model will develop elevated striatal iron levels compared with wild-type littermates. Using analytical techniques to measure levels of elemental brain iron, no significant differences were observed in various brain regions of aged HD mice and in post-mortem HD samples.

Growing deep roots : learning from the Essipit's culturally adapted model of Aboriginal forestry
Creators: name: Beaudoin, Jean-Michel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Aboriginal peoples are seeking sustainable ways to steward and develop forests. Sustainable forestry is central to Aboriginal life and culture. Research indicates that the industrial forestry model has failed to address their socio-economic needs. To date, Aboriginal involvement in forestry is characterized by a limited economic role in forest development, limited influence over forest management, and an inability to integrate Aboriginal culture and values. The case study of Essipit (Quebec, Canada) provides new insight on how Aboriginal communities can contribute to sustainable forestry. Growing deep roots means using a culturally adapted model of forestry that is consistent with Aboriginal culture and values, which is therefore more likely to support long-term social change and economic growth. To ensure reliability and validity, this research employed four data gathering techniques: observation, documentation, interviews and focus-groups. Results identify the entrepreneurship framework that led to the success of Aboriginal forest enterprises in Essipit, the level of authority held by Essipit over forest governance, and Essipit objectives for forest-based development. Therefore, this thesis provides a framework that aims to support Aboriginal forest development in theory and practice. Despite constraints, such as timber access, capacity and institutions, Essipit was successful in engaging in forestry. Acquiring exclusive commercial rights to harvest wildlife became a key strategy that allowed Essipit to address social needs and create leverage for future forest-based activities. Essipit innovated in forest governance: they created a partnership with the forest company Boisaco and, thus, gained authority over forest management decisions at the operational level. Results indicate that the profitability motives of the forest industry are iii insufficient, because Essipit has other objectives and priorities. The forest industry looks primarily at the tree, while Essipit looks at everything that surrounds and supports it. This research emphasizes the importance of developing a model that will outlast changes in government or industry. A forestry model that has deep roots is integrated into the community and the culture. It can sustain these types of changes and keep growing. Without this understanding of Aboriginal experiences, knowledge and objectives, local initiatives and government policies will remain uninformed and, potentially, fail.

description: Melaspilea lekae Brackel & Kalb sp. nov. (Fig. 2J) Mycobank MB 564185 Fungus lichenicola sicut Melaspilea diplasiospora (Nyl.) Müll. Arg., sed ascosporis minoribus et Sarcographa labyrinthica (Ach.) Müll. Arg. hospite differt. Etymology:—The new lichenicolous fungus is named in honour of Prof. Leka Manoch in recognition of her numerous contributions to Thai mycology. Type:— THAILAND. Trat Province: Muang District, near Ban Nam Chieo, in a ± disturbed mangrove forest on Sarcographa labyrinthica, ± 3 m, 12°10’25’’ N, 102°28’37’’ E, 25 February 2011, K. Kalb & P. Mongkolsuk (holotype RAMK, isotype hb. Kalb 38860). Ascomata lichenicolous on thallus and ascomata of Sarcographa labyrinthica, 0.2–0.4 × 0.1–0.2 mm, lirellate to ellipsoid, occasionally branched, solitary or irregularly aggregated, superficial with an exposed, reddish brown disc, leaving a black outline when eroded. Exciple laterally carbonized, 10–18 µm thick, ± absent below the hymenium. Hymenium colourless, ca. 60 µm high, hypothecium colourless to brownish, 8–13 µm high, both KOH-, I-, K/I-. Paraphyses septate, 2–3 µm wide, not or only sparsely branched with obovate terminal cells, 4–5 µm wide, these (or the two uppermost cells) with a granular brown pigment, K–. Asci clavate, ca. 35–40 × 13–20 µm, 4–8-spored, KOH-, I-, K/I-. Ascospores 1-septate, sole-shaped, distictly constricted at the septum, finely verruculose, pale to medium brown, 14–17 × 7–8 µm. Notes:—Previously only four Melaspilea species were known to grow on Graphidaceae, namely M. diplasiospora on Graphis elegans (Borrer ex Sm.) Ach., M. epigena Müll. Arg. on Reimnitzia santensis (Tuck.) Kalb, M. epigraphella (Nyl.) Müll. Arg. on Acanthothecis consocians (Nyl.) Staiger & Kalb and M. lentiginosa (Lyell ex Leight.) Müll. Arg. on Phaeographis dendritica (Ach.) Müll. Arg. All differ in the host and especially the ascospore dimensions. While the ascospores of M. diplasiospora are considerably larger (19.5–32 × 9.5–16 µ m) than those of M. lekae, they are smaller in M. epigena (10–12 × 5 µ m), M. epigraphella (9–11 × 3.5–4.5 µm) and M. lentiginosa 10–13.5 (–16) × 5–7.5 µm.

description: We investigate DNA breathing dynamics by suggesting and examining several different Brownian functionals associated with bubble lifetime and reactivity. Bubble dynamics is described as an overdamped random walk in the number of broken base pairs. The walk takes place on the Poland-Scheraga free energy landscape. We suggest several probability distribution functions that characterize the breathing process, and adopt the recently studied backward Fokker-Planck method and the path decomposition method as elegant and flexible tools for deriving these distributions. In particular, for a bubble of an initial size $x_0$, we derive analytical expressions for (i) the distribution $P(t_f|x_0)$ of the first-passage time $t_f$, characterizing the bubble lifetime, (ii) the distribution $P(A|x_0)$ of the area $A$ till the first-passage time, providing information about the effective reactivity of the bubble to processes within the DNA, (iii) the distribution $P(M)$ of the maximum bubble size $M$ attained before the first-passage time, and (iv) the joint probability distribution $P(M,t_m)$ of the maximum bubble size $M$ and the time $t_m$ of its occurrence before the first-passage time. These distributions are analyzed in the limit of small and large bubble sizes. We supplement our analytical predictions with direct numerical simulations of the related Langevin equation, and obtain a very good agreement in the appropriate limits. The nontrivial scaling behavior of the various quantities analyzed here can, in principle, be explored experimentally.

description: O mundo em que vivemos encontra-se em permanente e cada vez mais rápida mutação.

A onda tecnológica, de que o computador é ícone, trouxe consigo profundas consequências: modificou valores, estilos de vida, processos de trabalho, modos de pensar e de relacionar.

Na sociedade atual, as nossas vidas centram-se cada vez mais na criação, comunicação e aplicação do conhecimento.

A implementação de um ensino da ciência que proporcione aprendizagens efetivas e úteis aos indivíduos, independente da sua idade, é assim crucial para o futuro das sociedades e dos próprios indivíduos que dela fazem parte.

Neste contexto, impõe-se que o modo como se ensina e aprende ciência evolua e que, fazendo uso dos meios que a Sociedade do Conhecimento oferece, extravase os domínios da educação formal e amplie o ambiente pessoal de aprendizagem de cada individuo para outros domínios.

Tendo como ponto de partida a evolução da utilização dos meios e recursos educativos digitais, a presente comunicação pretende apontar alguns caminhos para a sua integração em contextos e espaços de educação não formal na área das Ciências, que se consideram ser oportunos face às exigências da sociedade atual.
