description: The dynamics of noise-resilient Boolean networks with majority functions and diverse topologies is investigated. A wide class of possible topological configurations is parametrized as a stochastic blockmodel. For this class of networks, the dynamics always undergoes a phase transition from a non-ergodic regime, where a memory of its past states is preserved, to an ergodic regime, where no such memory exists and every microstate is equally probable. Both the average error on the network, as well as the critical value of noise where the transition occurs are investigated analytically, and compared to numerical simulations. The results for "partially dense" networks, comprised of relatively few, but dynamically important nodes, which have a number of inputs which greatly exceeds the average for the entire network, give very general upper bounds on the maximum resilience against noise attainable on globally sparse systems.

Revising perspectives on nineteenth-century Jewish composers: a case study comparison of Ignaz Brüll and Salomon Jadassohn
Creators: name: Whitter, Adana
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The influence of anti-Semitism on the lives and careers of Jewish musicians within the social climate of nineteenth-century Europe is well known. Pamela Potter, Sander Gilman, Philip Bohlman, and K. M. Knittel have thoroughly explored the anti-Semitic treatment of Jewish composers during this period. Definitions of the experience of Jewish composers have been crystallized on the basis of prominent cases, such as Gustav Mahler or Alexander Zemlinsky, who were actively discussed in the press or other publications. The goal of this study is to examine whether the general view of anti-Semitism, as shown in those studies, applies to other Jewish composers. To this aim, this thesis will introduce two lesser known Jewish composers, Ignaz Brüll (1846-1907) and Salomon Jadassohn (1831-1902) as case studies, consider closely their particular situations at the end of the nineteenth century, and assess their positions vis-à-vis the general views of how musician Jews were treated in these societies. Chapter One outlines the historical and political context in Germany and Austria, where these two composers resided, in order to understand where they fit into that context. Chapter Two focuses on Jewishness in music, the difficulties involved in defining Jewish music, along with the contributions of other Jewish composers to the wider European culture, and makes clear the important part anti-Semitism played in the process of identification during this period. Chapters Three and Four examine Brüll and Jadassohn’s biographical details, musical careers, and the musical genres and stylistic characteristics of these two composers within a broader milieu. The available evidence surrounding Brüll and Jadassohn ultimately demonstrates that at least on the surface they did not face the explicit public anti-Semitic treatment that other, more prominent, Jewish composers encountered, according to whose reception anti-Semitism during that period is typically defined. A more fine-tuned view of the musical and cultural scene in Vienna and Leipzig at the end of the nineteenth century illuminates the musical contribution of lesser known Jewish composers during that time and highlights the need for further individual case studies of other Jewish composers in order to revise current perspectives.

description: We study the behavior of a scalar field under a z = 3 Lifshitz black hole background, in a way that is non-minimally coupled to the gravitational field. A general analytical solution is obtained along with two sets of quasinormal modes associated to different boundary conditions that can be imposed on the scalar field, non-minimal coupling parameter appears explicitly on these solutions. Stability of quasinormal modes can be studied and ensured for both cases. Also, the reflection and absorption coefficients are calculated, as well as the absorption cross section which features an interesting behavior because of being attenuated by terms strongly dependant on the non-minimal coupling. By a suitable change of variables a soliton solution can also be obtained and the stability of the quasinormal modes are studied and ensured.

description: We prove an integrability criterion of order 3 for a homogeneous potential of degree -1 in the plane. Still, this criterion depends on some integer and it is impossible to apply it directly except for families of potentials whose eigenvalues are bounded. To address this issue, we use holonomic and asymptotic computations with error control of this criterion and apply it to the potential of the form V(r,θ)=r^{-1} h(\exp(iθ)) with h a polynomial of degree less than 3. We find then all meromorphically integrable potentials of this form.

description: The pathogenesis of thrombocytopenia can be divided into increased destruction (ID) of platelets in the peripheral blood and decreased production (DP) of platelets in the bone marrow. This study aimed to analyze the efficacy of immature platelet fraction (IPF) related parameters, including the IPF count (IPF#), IPF percentage (IPF%) and highly fluorescence IPF percentage (H-IPF%), measured by XN-9000, in the differential diagnosis of thrombocytopenia. One hundred and twenty healthy volunteers were enrolled in the healthy control (HC) group, and 180 thrombocytopenia patients were grouped into either the increased destruction (ID) group or the decreased production (DP) group according to their final diagnosis. IPF# was significantly lower in the DP group than in the ID and HC groups (P < .01). Among the three groups, the ID group had the highest IPF% and H-IPF%, and the HC group had the lowest IPF% and H-IPF%. The differences between the three groups were all statistically significant (P < .01). In differentiating the ID patients from the DP patients, the areas under the operating characteristics curve of IPF#, IPF% and H-IPF% were 0.859, 0.944 and 0.930, respectively. False positive rates were below 0.04 when IPF#, IPF% and H-IPF% were above 2.65, 7.55 and 2.35, respectively. IPF related parameters showed high efficacy in the differential diagnosis of thrombocytopenia. However, due to the small numerical values of the IPF related parameters in some thrombocytopenia patients, the fluctuations of IPF% and H-IPF% should also be taken into consideration. Though H-IPF% is a new parameter, its effectiveness in the differential diagnosis of thrombocytopenia is not better than IPF%’s.
title: DEPRECATED: From Placebo to self-help: Investigating retention, outcome and mechanisms in self-directed gratitude interventions
Creators: name: Geraghty, Adam William Alfred
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2010

description: The research presented in this thesis explored unguided self-help therapy, primarily using a gratitude technique. Psychological mechanisms that underlie the placebo response may also play a primary role in beneficial response to unguided selfhelp therapy. Retention (whether participants completed the intervention), outcome (whether the technique effectively reduced symptoms), and mechanisms (the psychological processes which antecede outcome and retention), were investigated with participants engaging in procedures to improve a diverse range of symptoms, namely, mood, sleep disturbance, body dissatisfaction, depression and anxiety. Studies one and two investigated the role of two placebo mechanisms, response expectancy and motivational concordance, as predictors of outcome following a gratitude technique. Response expectancy contributed to outcome to a greater extent in a laboratory setting, whereas motivational concordance explained greater outcome variance in a real-world setting. Studies three, four and five compared a gratitude technique to a problemfocused technique and a wait list control. Across all three studies, being randomly allocated to a gratitude technique resulted in greater retention than being a llocated to a problem-focused technique. Use of a gratitude technique resulted in equivalent significant reductions in body dissatisfaction (Study three), depression (Study four) and worry (Study five), compared to a problem-focused cognitive restructuring technique, and was significantly more effective than being on a waitlist in all three studies. There was some evidence that different mechanisms affect outcome and retention. Placebo theory and the contextual model of psychotherapy provide useful insight into the factors that affect outcome and retention in self-help therapy.

description: We study modulation spectroscopy of the potassium D2 transitions at 766.7 nm. The vapour pressure, controlled by heating a commercial reference cell, is optimized using conventional saturated absorption spectroscopy. Subsequent heterodyne detection yields sub-Doppler frequency discriminants suitable for stabilizing lasers in experiments with cold atoms. Comparisons are made between spectra obtained by direct modulation of the probe beam, and those using modulation transfer from the pump via nonlinear mixing. Finally, suggestions are made for further optimization of the signals.

description: This study focuses on the crucial task of forecasting tax revenue for India, specifically the Goods and Services Tax (GST), which plays a pivotal role in fiscal spending and taxation policymaking. Practically, the GST time series datasets exhibit linear and non-linear fluctuations due to the dynamic economic environment, changes in tax rates and tax base, and tax non-compliance, posing challenges for accurate forecasting. Traditional time-series forecasting methods like ARIMA, assuming linearity, often yield inaccurate results. To address this, we explore alternative forecasting models, including Trigonometric Seasonality Box-Cox Transformation ARIMA errors Trend Seasonal components (TBATS) and Neural Networks: Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Neural Networks for Autoregression (NNAR), which capture both linear and non-linear relationships. First, we test single time series models like Exponential Smoothing (ETS), TBATS, ANN, and NNAR. Second, we also test hybrid models combining linear models, non-linear models, and neural network models. The findings reveal that the Hybrid Theta-TBATS model offers superior forecasting accuracy, challenging recent research favouring neural network models. The study highlights the effectiveness of advanced non-linear models, particularly TBATS and its hybridisations with linear models, in GST revenue forecasting. Our study also found that the single TBATS is the second-best model, which offers better forecasting accuracy. These insights have significant implications for policymakers and researchers in taxation and fiscal planning, emphasising the need to incorporate non-linear dynamics and advanced modelling techniques to enhance the accuracy of GST revenue forecasts.

description: One of the most common assumptions in the study of neutron star models and their oscillations is that the pressure is isotopic, however there are arguments that this may not be correct. Thus in the present paper we make a first step towards studying the nonradial oscillations of neutron stars with an anisotropic pressure. We adopt the so-called Cowling approximation where the spacetime metric is kept fixed and the oscillation spectrum for the first few fluid modes is obtained. The effect of the anisotropy on the frequencies is apparent, although with the present results it might be hard to distinguish it from the changes in the frequencies caused by different equations of state.

description: The main goal of this work is to study the Dirac oscillator as a quantum field using the canonical formalism of quantum field theory and to develop the canonical quantization procedure for this system in $(1+1)$ and $(3+1)$ dimensions. This is possible because the Dirac oscillator is characterized by the absence of the Klein paradox and by the completeness of its eigenfunctions. We show that the Dirac oscillator field can be seen as constituted by infinite degrees of freedom which are identified as decoupled quantum linear harmonic oscillators. We observe that while for the free Dirac field the energy quanta of the infinite harmonic oscillators are the relativistic energies of free particles, for the Dirac oscillator field the quanta are the energies of relativistic linear harmonic oscillators.

We show a simple application by finding a semi-classical maximum work theorem in the presence of correlations.

SUMMARY: 1. Introduction – 2. Relation-Collaboration between the State and Churches in Constitutional Democracies – 3. The laicité à la française Tested by a Deprivatised Religious Process – 3.1. The French Rigid Secularism. Freedom (of Religion) through the State – 4. Canada’s Open Secularism.

Abstract Under the pressing process of immigration and globalisation many Western constitutional democracies have moved from a number of religions, sharing a common culture, to today's age of diversity. As opposed to the past, the current democracies are facing the lack of overlapping consensus over the basic constitutional laws: namely, the meaning and the scope of freedom of religion, secularism, the separation Church-State, equal treatment and the rule of law. This is because individuals often come to adopt their basic values by very different ways. The nature, scope and force of such values are likely to be affected by competing and, sometimes, contested fundamental values and worldviews. From here stems the pressing tension – or dilemma – between “unity” and “diversity”. This essay starts with general considerations about the freedom of religion principle, strictly related with the “separation” as well as “collaboration” between secular States and Churches; then the author analyses three case-studies (France, Canada and Italy), pointing out some specific legal approaches. In particular he focuses the analyses over the French “droit commun”, the Italian ecclesiastic law and the Canadian arbitral tribunals that, especially in family law, allow disputes to be arbitrated using religious jurisdictions.

Abstract: With this essay the Author analyses the characteristics of religious freedom in Nigerian legal system, which is considered part of a wider legal phenomenon, what is called the African legal system. Considering the issues related to the religious attitude of the African peoples, and in particular that of the Nigerian ones, the Author underlines the influence exercised by the various religious creeds on other spheres of public life. Besides, in this context one has to take into account the fact that both traditional cultures and political framework have been deeply influenced by the British colonial power. Finally, in this essay the Author also analyses some aspects concerning the fundamental rights in Nigeria, including the religious rights: the way these rights have been recognised and implemented in Nigerian legal system.

Effect of pre-wetted perlite and fibers on autogenous and plastic shrinkage of high strength concrete
Creators: name: Ranjbar, Sahar
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This thesis deals with the mitigation of plastic shrinkage in high strength concrete through internal curing and fiber reinforcement. In addition, the effects of mixture proportioning, internal curing and fiber reinforcement on elimination of autogenous shrinkage in mortar were studied. Internal curing can prevent cement paste from self-desiccation by providing small water reservoirs within the mortar or concrete. Fiber reinforcement can potentially increase the early age tensile strength. Plastic shrinkage cracks were observed only on the control concrete specimens. That is, the addition of fibers and partial replacement of fines with pre-wetted perlite both provided viable mechanisms to mitigate or reduce plastic shrinkage in high strength concrete. The fibers had a negligible effect on compressive strength. However, there was a significant decrease in compressive strength for mixes containing 25% perlite by volume of fine aggregate. Based on these results, 0.15% fibers by volume appears to be more useful than 25% perlite by volume for mitigating plastic shrinkage in high strength concrete. The mixes without pre-wetted perlite underwent autogenous shrinkage; while the internally cured mixes underwent some swelling. That is, partial replacement of fines with pre-wetted perlite provided viable mechanism to completely eliminate autogenous shrinkage in high strength mortar. The mortar mix with fly ash exhibited the least amount of autogenous shrinkage. Therefore, in cases where addition of pre-wetted perlite is not desirable due to the loss in mechanical properties, sacrifices, fly ash can be considered as a good replacement for internal curing agent.

description: Motivated by the recent experimental realization of synthetic gauge fields in ultracold atoms, we investigate one-dimensional attractive Fermi gases with a time-dependent gauge flux on the spin sector. By combining the methods of the Bethe ansatz with complex twists and Landau-Dykhne, it is shown that a spin-depairing transition occurs, which may represent a nonequilibrium transition from fermionic superfluids to normal states with spin currents caused by a many-body quantum tunneling. For the case of the Hubbard ring at half filling, our finding forms a dual concept with the dielectric breakdown of the Mott insulator discussed in Phys. Rev. B 81, 033103 (2010). We analyze cases of arbitrary filling and continuum model, and show how the filling affects the transition probability.

description: Information-centric networking proposals attract much attention in the ongoing search for a future communication paradigm of the Internet. Replacing the host-to-host connectivity by a data-oriented publish/subscribe service eases content distribution and authentication by concept, while eliminating threats from unwanted traffic at an end host as are common in today's Internet. However, current approaches to content routing heavily rely on data-driven protocol events and thereby introduce a strong coupling of the control to the data plane in the underlying routing infrastructure. In this paper, threats to the stability and security of the content distribution system are analyzed in theory and practical experiments. We derive relations between state resources and the performance of routers and demonstrate how this coupling can be misused in practice. We discuss new attack vectors present in its current state of development, as well as possibilities and limitations to mitigate them.

Abstract
Between the late XVII century and the second half of the XVIII century Scotland faced very important constitutional changes, involving the relationships between the State and the Churches. In this context, the "religious question" continued to play a crucial role, finding its place – as so often in the past – at the top of the political agenda. However, this agenda was also influenced by the intellectual movement called Scottish Enlightenment, which gave an important contribution to the evolution of the Scottish Established Church that was Calvinist in its official documents, but Presbyterian in the ecclesiastical order.
After general considerations about the process of secularization (which spread out in Europe at that time) the author analyses the peculiar evolution of relationships between the Scottish Established Church and the Scottish Enlightenment, which also affected the constitutional system in this country.

description: Three new highly oxygenated lanostane triterpenoids, applanaic acids A–C (1–3), were isolated from the fruiting bodies of the basidiomycete Ganoderma applanatum. Among them, applanaic acid B (2) possessed the Δ17(20)-double bond connection between the side chain and the tetracyclic skeleton, which was not common in the natural lanostane triterpenoids. Their structures were determined by 1D, 2D NMR and HRESIMS spectroscopic analysis. Compound 3 showed a weak acetylcholinesterase (AchE) inhibitory activity with 33.5% inhibition rate at 50 μM.
Multimode solutions of first-order elliptic quasilinear systems obtained from Riemann invariants

description: Two new approaches to solving first-order quasilinear elliptic systems of PDEs in many dimensions are proposed. The first method is based on an analysis of multimode solutions expressible in terms of Riemann invariants, based on links between two techniques, that of the symmetry reduction method and of the generalized method of characteristics. A variant of the conditional symmetry method for constructing this type of solution is proposed. A specific feature of that approach is an algebraic-geometric point of view, which allows the introduction of specific first-order side conditions consistent with the original system of PDEs, leading to a generalization of the Riemann invariant method for solving elliptic homogeneous systems of PDEs. A further generalization of the Riemann invariants method to the case of inhomogeneous systems, based on the introduction of specific rotation matrices, enables us to weaken the integrability condition. It allows us to establish a connection between the structure of the set of integral elements and the possibility of constructing specific classes of simple mode solutions. These theoretical considerations are illustrated by the examples of an ideal plastic flow in its elliptic region and a system describing a nonlinear interaction of waves and particles. Several new classes of solutions are obtained in explicit form, including the general integral for the latter system of equations.

description: In this work, singular interactions supported by embedded curves on Riemannian manifolds are discussed from a more direct and physical perspective, via the heat kernel approach. We show that the renormalized problem is well defined, the ground state is finite and the corresponding wavefunction is positive. The renormalization group invariance of the model is also discussed.
