description: We develop a simple and reliable analytical model that allows describing the electromagnetic response of all-dielectric metasurfaces consisting of a single-layer array of high-permittivity spherical particles. By combining Mie theory with a bi-dimensional homogenization approach, we derive closed-form expressions of the electric and magnetic surface impedances exhibited by the metasurface and, thus, its reflection and transmission coefficients. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated through a set of full-wave simulations. The availability of the analytical model here developed allows a more in-depth understanding of the complex scattering response of these electromagnetic structures and enables the design of innovative devices operating throughout the whole electromagnetic spectrum, including, for example, unconventional reflectors for antennas, broadband optical mirrors, and highly efficient nanoantenna reflectarrays.

title: The four powers multinational force in Lebanon 1982-84 : peacekeeping or intervention
Creators: name: Tarrabain, Ali M
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 1990

description: The purpose of this thesis has been to carry out a case study of the Multinational Force in Beirut as an experiment of a non-United Nations peacekeeping technique in the management of that country's protracted conflict It aims to assess why the Multinational Force may have succeeded or failed in its mission, with a view to recording these factors of success and failure - in such a way that future peacekeeping operations can benefit from them. Thus, the analysis offered grapples the thorny issue of whether the Multinational Force in Beirut was a 'peacekeeping force', an 'interventionist action', or was it 'an adjunct to or instrument of a policy designed for peacemaking'. To acquaint the reader with the experiment in and experience of the Multinational Force we emphasise that its very 'presence' brought a new actor into the Lebanon conflict. Hence, the subsequent effects of the Force on the already present internal and external protagonists are taken up. Furthermore, special emphasis was placed on the political and diplomatic circumstances leading to the decision and deployment of the Force, the nature of its mandate, and the ultimate disposition of its operations. Whilst stressing that non-U.N. peacekeeping in the Lebanon conflict has come to mean whatever those apply have wished it to mean, the study concludes by arguing that the Multinational Force in Beirut came to an unhappy end because it departed from the traditional modes of peacekeeping. Its demise did not occur in a vacuum, nor was the Force another victim of the Lebanon conflict The destiny of the Multinational Force was not necessarily failure and yet its presence, rather than facilitating peace, proved to be a catalyst for the outbreak of war
Jammed disks of two sizes in a narrow channel

description: A granular-matter model is exactly solved, where disks of two sizes and weights in alternating sequence are confined to a narrow channel. The axis of the channel is horizontal and its plane vertical. Disk sizes and channel width are such that under jamming no disks remain loose and all disks touch one wall. Jammed microstates are characterized via statistically interacting particles constructed out of two-disk tiles. Jammed macrostates depend on measures of expansion work, gravitational potential energy, and intensity of random agitations before jamming. The dependence of configurational entropy on excess volume exhibits a critical point.

description: We study the consequences of the generalized Heisenberg uncertainty relation which admits a minimal uncertainty in length such as the case in a theory of quantum gravity. In particular, the theory of quantum harmonic oscillators arising from such a generalized uncertainty relation is examined. We demonstrate that all the standard properties of the quantum harmonic oscillators prevail when we employ a generalized momentum. We also show that quantum electrodynamics and coherent photon states can be described in the familiar standard manner despite the generalized uncertainty principle.

Yield criterion and finite strain behavior of random porous isotropic materials
Creators: name: Hure, J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The mechanical response of isotropic elastoplastic materials containing random distributions of initially spherical voids is investigated computationally based on Fast Fourier Transform simulations. Numerical limit-analysis simulations at constant stress triaxiality allow to determine the yield surfaces, leading in particular to the determination of a Representative Volume Element size for the onset of coalescence / inhomogeneous yielding. Moreover, two different coalescence regimes are observed that differ by the presence of shearing. The yield surfaces are found to be consistent with the combination of two models proposed in the literature, a GTN-type model calibrated for homogeneous yielding of random porous materials and an inhomogeneous yielding model accounting for both coalescence with or without shear. Finite strain simulations performed for different hardening moduli and stress triaxialities under axisymmetric loading conditions confirm the existence of a RVE up to the onset of inhomogeneous yielding. Coalescence strains are found to be significantly smaller for random porous materials than for periodic distribution of voids. A homogenized model is finally proposed that reproduces quantitatively the behavior of isotropic elastoplastic materials containing random distributions of voids under finite strains.

description: We extend the Fermilab method for heavy quarks to include all interactions of dimension six in the action. We discuss a subtlety in the power counting, which implies that, for heavy quarks, certain interactions of dimension seven are commensurate with some of those of dimension six. We then present tree-level matching conditions obtained from calculating the Compton scattering amplitude for (lattice) QCD. When the matching conditions have been applied, the improved action removes (tree-level) discretization errors of order $a^2\bm{p}^3/m_Q$ and $a^3\bm{p}^3$.

Phase Transitions of Large N Orbifold Gauge Theories

Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the phase structures of N=4 U(N) super Yang-Mills theories on R x S^3/Z_k with large N. The theory has many vacua labelled by the holonomy matrix along the non-trivial cycle on S^3/Z_k, and for the fermions the periodic and the anti-periodic boundary conditions can be assigned along the cycle. We compute the partition functions of the orbifold theories and observe that phase transitions occur even in the zero 't Hooft coupling limit. With the periodic boundary condition, the vacua of the gauge theory are dual to various arrangements of k NS5-branes. With the anti-periodic boundary condition, transitions between the vacua are dual to localized tachyon condensations. In particular, the mass of a deformed geometry is compared with the Casimir energy for the dual vacuum. We also obtain an index for the supersymmetric orbifold theory.

title:  Narrare più saggiamente. Un supplemento prosaico alla poetica dell’identità narrativa di Ricœur
Creators: name: Gregor  ,  Brian
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2021

description: Questo saggio esamina l’analisi di Ricœur sull’identità narrative e pone la domanda pratica su come si dia il raccontare bene le nostre storie – e il raccontare bene noi stessi. Ricœur considera buona una narrazione che libera dalla morsa del narcisismo e sostiene che la letteratura offra modelli per raccontare le nostre storie in modo non narcisistico. Sviluppo questa intuizione sul prosaico attingendo alla teoria di Gary Saul Morson, che mostra come la letteratura possa formare migliori abitudini di auto-narrazione addestrandoci a prestare attenzione ai piccoli dettagli contingenti della vita quotidiana. Illustro questo punto con la lettura di Anna Karenina da parte di Morson, il capolavoro della narrativa prosaica di Tolstoj. Questo supplemento prosaico alla ricognizione di Ricœur sull’identità narrativa può mostrarci come potrebbe apparire narrare noi stessi in modo più saggio.

title: Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights and UK Immigration Law
Creators: name: Khan, Rai Ahmad
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2022

description: This doctoral thesis examines the legal and jurisprudential developments associated with Article 8 of the ECHR in the immigration context. The primary objective of this thesis is to analyse whether the government has achieved its stated objectives of guiding judicial discretion by enacting primary and secondary legislation. The thesis examines both the domestic jurisprudence and that of the European Court of Human Rights to establish whether the UK’s approach coincides with that of the Strasbourg Court. Doctrinal cum contextual research methods were adopted in this thesis. In 2012, the UK government introduced Immigration Rules claiming to be conclusive of the Article 8 proportionality assessment. After extensive judicial interpretations of the rules, courts did not treat the rules alone as conclusive of Article 8’s proportionality assessment. The government then introduced primary legislation, inserting Part 5A in the Nationality, Immigration Asylum Act 2002 to guide judicial discretion. These provisions, known as public interest considerations, have been examined at all levels of the judicial hierarchy. The analysis reveals no substantial shift from the jurisprudence predating the 2012 Immigration Rules and the enactment of public interest considerations.

description: Magnetic atoms can break the Cooper pairs of superconductors, leading to the formation of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) bound states inside superconducting gaps. Theory predicts that the YSR bound states can be controlled by tuning the electron density at the Fermi energy, but it has not been studied deeply. In this work, we studied the nature of YSR bound states in response to the potential scattering U by tuning the electron density at the Fermi energy. By comparing two systems, Mn-phthalocyanine molecules on Pb(111) and Co atoms on PbSe/Pb(111), we demonstrate that the sign of U can be unambiguously determined by varying the electron density at the Fermi energy. We also show that U competes with the exchange interaction JS in the formation of YSR bound states. Our work provides insights into the interactions between magnetic atoms and superconductors at a fundamental level.

Optical Absorption Spectra of Ag11 Isomers by First-Principles Theoretical Spectroscopy with Time-dependent Density Functional Theory
Creators: name: Martinez, Jose I.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Atomic and Molecular Clusters (physics.atm-clus)

description: The optical absorption spectrum of the three most stable isomers of the Ag11 system was calculated using the time-dependent density functional theory, with the generalized gradient approximation for the exchange and correlation potential, and a relativistic pseudopotential parametrization for the modelling of the ion-electron interaction. The computational scheme is based on a real space code, where the photoabsorption spectrum is calculated by using the formalism developed by Casida. The significantly different spectra of the three isomers permit the identification of the ground-state configuration predominantly present in the laboratory beams in base to a comparison between the calculated photoabsorption spectrum of the most stable configuration of Ag11 and the measured spectra of medium-size silver clusters trapped in noble gas Ar and Ne matrices at different temperatures. This assignment is confirmed by the fact that this isomer has the lowest calculated energy.

description: We calculate the electronic transport through a molecular dimer, in which an excess electron is delocalized over equivalent monomers, which can be locally distorted. In this system the Born-Oppenheimer approximation breaks down resulting in quantum entanglement of the mechanical and electronic motion. We show that pseudo Jahn-Teller (pJT) dynamics of the molecule gives rise to conductance peaks that indicate this violation. Their magnitude, sign and position sharply depend on the electro-mechanical properties of the molecule, which can be varied in recently developed three-terminal junctions with mechanical control. The predicted effect depends crucially on the degree of intramolecular delocalization of the excess electron, a parameter which is also of fundamental importance in physical chemistry.

Making gendered sense of civil society : a study of Chinese intellectual politics in the 1980s and 1990s
Creators: name: Manning, Kimberley Phyllis Edith
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In recent years considerable debate has taken place among Western scholars as to whether civil society is presently emerging in China. For many of these scholars, any movement away from state control and the assertion of individual autonomy is, for the most part, considered a positive political development and one that will contribute to democratic processes. This paper argues that state-society autonomy may not always be a progressive political force. Indeed, greater social autonomy can result in increased marginalization for different sectors of women in the context of both civil society, as well as democratization. For this reason, it is critical to analyse the connection between civil society and democratization in terms of the gendered implications of both processes. Only then is it possible to judge the extent to which the political transition is a positive political development for both women and men. Specifically, this paper conducts a gendered analysis of the work of critical intellectuals in the 1980s and the work of Beijing women scholar-activists in the 1990s. Employing Joan Scott's understanding of "gender," it is my argument that each layer of political re-definition that the critical intellectuals undertook — political subjectivity, political theory, and activism — points to the emergence of a male, and very masculine, "new public." The assertion of the critical intellectuals autonomy was thus at the expense of others. The women scholar activists, on the other hand, have been simultaneously asserting their autonomy vis-a-vis the state while building close ties with the state-run All China Women's Federation. Not only have the women scholar-activists interacted with a wider range of social groups than their male counterparts, but their view is that the state can, and indeed does, play an important role in upholding the rights of women. Social and economic rights, I would therefore argue, must be emphasized alongside political rights if there is to be any real democracy in China's future.

description: Given a Galois covering of complete spin manifolds where the base metric has PSC near infinity, we prove that for small enough epsilon > 0, the epsilon spectral projection of the Dirac operator has finite trace in the Atiyah von Neumann algebra. This allows us to define the L2 index in the even case and we prove its compatibility with the Xie-Yu higher index. We also deduce L2 versions of the classical Gromov-Lawson relative index theorems. Finally, we briefly discuss some Gromov-Lawson L2 invariants.
Consistent estimation of the architecture of multilayer perceptrons
Creators: name: Rynkiewicz, Joseph
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We consider regression models involving multilayer perceptrons (MLP) with one hidden layer and a Gaussian noise. The estimation of the parameters of the MLP can be done by maximizing the likelihood of the model. In this framework, it is difficult to determine the true number of hidden units using an information criterion, like the Bayesian information criteria (BIC), because the information matrix of Fisher is not invertible if the number of hidden units is overestimated. Indeed, the classical theoretical justification of information criteria relies entirely on the invertibility of this matrix. However, using recent methodology introduced to deal with models with a loss of identifiability, we prove that suitable information criterion leads to consistent estimation of the true number of hidden units.
Fuzzy spheres from inequivalent coherent states quantizations

description: We present a new procedure which allows a coherent state (CS) quantization of any set with a measure. It is manifest through the replacement of classical observables by CS quantum observables, which acts on a Hilbert space of prescribed dimension $N$. The algebra of CS quantum observables has the finite dimension $N^2$. The application to the 2-sphere provides a family of inequivalent CS quantizations, based on the spin spherical harmonics (the CS quantization from usual spherical harmonics appears to give a trivial issue for the cartesian coordinates). We compare these CS quantizations to the usual (Madore) construction of the fuzzy sphere. The difference allows us to consider our procedures as the constructions of new type of fuzzy spheres. The very general character of our method suggests applications to construct fuzzy versions of a variety of sets.

description: It has been shown that for nonlinear atomic ionization, transfer of the degree of circular polarization from incident to fluorescence light is maximum at the Cooper minimum (see Phys. Rev. A \textbf{100}, 011401(R) (2019)). Until the present, however, it is still a challenge to produce and detect circularly-polarized light at xuv and x-ray photon energies. We here show, that transfer of linear polarization is strongly enhanced at the Cooper minimum in two-photon ionization and can be readily detected using current free-electron laser facilities by measurements of the degree of linear polarization of the characteristic $Lα_1$ and $Lα_2$ lines. Two-photon ionization of $2p_{3/2}$ electron of tungsten atom is proposed to demonstrate the presented phenomena and realization of such experiment is discussed in detail.

description: In d+1 dimensions we solve the equations of motion for the case of gravity minimally or conformally coupled to a scalar field. For the minimally coupled system the equations can either be solved directly or by transforming vacuum solutions, as shown before in 3+1 dimensions by Buchdahl. In d+1 dimensions the solutions have been previously found directly by Xanthopoulos and Zannias. Here we first rederive these earlier results, and then extend Buchdahl's method of transforming vacuum solutions to d+1 dimensions. We also review the conformal coupling case, in which d+1 dimensional solutions can be found by extending Bekenstein's method of conformal transformation of the minimal coupling solution. Combining the extended versions of Buchdahl transformations and Bekenstein transformations we can in arbitrary dimensions always generate solutions of both the minimal and the conformal equations from known vacuum solutions.

A coagulation-fragmentation model for the turbulent growth and destruction of preplanetesimals

description: To treat the problem of growing protoplanetary disc solids across the meter barrier, we consider a very simplified two-component coagulation-fragmentation model that consists of macroscopic boulders and smaller dust grains, the latter being the result of catastrophic collisions between the boulders. Boulders in turn increase their radii by sweeping up the dust fragments. An analytical solution to the dynamical equations predicts that growth by coagulation-fragmentation can be efficient and allow agglomeration of 10-meter-sized objects within the time-scale of the radial drift. These results are supported by computer simulations of the motion of boulders and fragments in 3-D time-dependent magnetorotational turbulence. Allowing however the fragments to diffuse freely out of the sedimentary layer of boulders reduces the density of both boulders and fragments in the mid-plane, and thus also the growth of the boulder radius, drastically. The reason is that the turbulent diffusion time-scale is so much shorter than the collisional time-scale that dust fragments leak out of the mid-plane layer before they can be swept up by the boulders there. Our conclusion that coagulation-fragmentation is not an efficient way to grow across the meter barrier in fully turbulent protoplanetary discs confirms recent results by Brauer, Dullemond, & Henning who solved the coagulation equation in a parameterised turbulence model with collisional fragmentation, cratering, radial drift, and a range of particle sizes. We find that a relatively small population of boulders in a sedimentary mid-plane layer can populate the entire vertical extent of the disc with small grains and that these grains are not first generation dust, but have been through several agglomeration-destruction cycles during the simulations.

description: We describe a search underway for periodic gravitational waves from the central compact object in the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. The object is the youngest likely neutron star in the Galaxy. Its position is well known, but the object does not pulse in any electromagnetic radiation band and thus presents a challenge in searching the parameter space of frequency and frequency derivatives. We estimate that a fully coherent search can, with a reasonable amount of time on a computing cluster, achieve a sensitivity at which it is theoretically possible (though not likely) to observe a signal even with the initial LIGO noise spectrum. Cassiopeia A is only the second object after the Crab pulsar for which this is true. The search method described here can also obtain interesting results for similar objects with current LIGO sensitivity.

description: We show that two-color high-harmonic spectroscopy can reveal finite-size and edge-state-induced dynamic electron correlation effects in a generic nanostructured band-gap material. Compared to the response of a bulk sample, we demonstrate a significant correlation-induced increase in the efficiency of the generated signal over a wide range of frequencies by harnessing the power of these ultrafast many-electron dynamics.

Civil Society, public spheres and the ecology of environmentalism in four Fraser Valley communities : Burnaby, Richmond, Langley and Abbotsford
Creators: name: McKinnon, Andres Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis examines four communities in the Lower Fraser Basin (Burnaby, Richmond, Langley and Abbotsford), as a case study for examining the "ecology of environmentalism". I have compared two "low environmentalism" communities (Richmond and Abbotsford), and two which have a significantly larger field of environmental groups (Burnaby and Langley). The research included 43 interviews (37 with leaders of grassroots environmental groups and a mailout questionnaire which was sent to one leader of each of the 71 groups in the four municipalities (64% response rate). Together this research amounts to 82% coverage of all the environmental groups in the four municipalities. Using this data, I argue that the differences between the municipal areas are not very well explained either in terms of the themes in Resource Mobilisation Theory, in either of the major theories of social movements and the State, or in terms of standard demographic variables associated with environmentalism (community size, gender, income, education, ethnicity, or occupation). I have therefore used the themes of "civil society" and "public spheres" (Allario 1995; Calhoun 1996; Cohen and Arato; Fraser 1992; Habermas 1989; Walzer 1991) to compare the four municipalities. I suggest that the more holistic approach especially as proposed by Jean Cohen and Andrew Arato (1992), provides a better way of analyzing both the actions and the ecology of environmental groups in the Lower Fraser Basin.

description: When employing non-linear methods to characterise complex systems, it is important to determine to what extent they are capturing genuine non-linear phenomena that could not be assessed by simpler spectral methods. Specifically, we are concerned with the problem of quantifying spectral and phasic effects on an observed difference in a non-linear feature between two systems (or two states of the same system). Here we derive, from a sequence of null models, a decomposition of the difference in an observable into spectral, phasic, and spectrum-phase interaction components. Our approach makes no assumptions about the structure of the data and adds nuance to a wide range of time series analyses.

description: We present a detailed single-pulse analysis for PSR B1929+10 based on observations with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). The main pulse and interpulse are found to be modulated with a periodicity of $\sim12$ times the pulsar's rotational period ($P$). The $\sim12P$ modulation is confirmed as a periodic amplitude modulation instead of systematic drifting. The periodic amplitude modulation in the IP is found to be anti-correlated with that in the weak preceding component of the MP (MP_I), but correlated with that in the first two components of the MP (MP_II), which implies that the modulation patterns in the IP and the MP are phase-locked. What is more interesting is that the modulation in MP_II is delayed that in the IP by about 1P. Furthermore, high sensitivity observations by FAST reveal that weak emission exists between the MP and the IP. In addition, we confirm that the separation between the IP and the MP is independent of radio frequency. The above results are a conundrum for pulsar theories and cannot be satisfactorily explained by the current pulsar models. Therefore, our results observed with FAST provide an opportunity to probe the structure of pulsar emission and the neutron star's magnetosphere.

Hadron Spectroscopy and Structure from AdS/CFT

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The AdS/CFT correspondence between conformal field theory and string states in an extended space-time has provided new insights into not only hadron spectra, but also their light-front wavefunctions. We show that there is an exact correspondence between the fifth-dimensional coordinate of anti-de Sitter space and a specific impact variable which measures the separation of the constituents within the hadron in ordinary space-time. This connection allows one to predict the form of the light-front wavefunctions of mesons and baryons, the fundamental entities which encode hadron properties and scattering amplitudes. A new relativistic Schrodinger light-front equation is found which reproduces the results obtained using the fifth-dimensional theory. Since they are complete and orthonormal, the AdS/CFT model wavefunctions can be used as an initial ansatz for a variational treatment or as a basis for the diagonalization of the light-front QCD Hamiltonian. A number of applications of light-front wavefunctions are also discussed.

description: We calculate all the 2 to 2 scattering process in Yang-Mills theory in the Light Cone gauge, with the dimensional regulator as the UV regulator. The IR is regulated with a cutoff in $q^+$. It supplements our earlier work, where a Lorentz non-covariant regulator was used and the final results bear some problems in gauge fixing. Supersymmetry relations among various amplitudes are checked using the light cone superfields.

description: Photoelectron angular distributions of the two-photon ionization of neutral atoms are theoretically investigated. Numerical calculations of two-photon ionization cross sections and asymmetry parameters are carried out within the independent-particle approximation and relativistic second-order perturbation theory. The dependence of the asymmetry parameters on the polarization and energy of the incident light as well as on the angular momentum properties of the ionized electron are investigated. While dynamic variations of the angular distributions at photon energies near intermediate level resonances are expected, we demonstrate that equally strong variations occur near the nonlinear Cooper minimum. The described phenomena is demonstrated on the example of two-photon ionization of magnesium atom.
Intrinsic-Density Functionals

description: The Hohenberg-Kohn theorem and Kohn-Sham procedure are extended to functionals of the localized intrinsic density of a self-bound system such as a nucleus. After defining the intrinsic-density functional, we modify the usual Kohn-Sham procedure slightly to evaluate the mean-field approximation to the functional, and carefully describe the construction of the leading corrections for a system of fermions in one dimension with a spin-degeneracy equal to the number of particles N. Despite the fact that the corrections are complicated and nonlocal, we are able to construct a local Skyrme-like intrinsic-density functional that, while different from the exact functional, shares with it a minimum value equal to the exact ground-state energy at the exact ground-state intrinsic density, to next-to-leading order in 1/N. We briefly discuss implications for real Skyrme functionals.
