description: We re-visit the issue of the temperature dependence of the specific heat C(T) for interacting fermions in 1D. The charge component C_c(T) scales linearly with T, but the spin component C_s (T) displays a more complex behavior with T as it depends on the backscattering amplitude, g_1, which scales down under RG transformation and eventually behaves as g_1 (T) \sim 1/\log T. We show, however, by direct perturbative calculations that C_s(T) is strictly linear in T to order g^2_1 as it contains the renormalized backscattering amplitude not on the scale of T, but at the cutoff scale set by the momentum dependence of the interaction around 2k_F. The running amplitude g_1 (T) appears only at third order and gives rise to an extra T/\log^3 T term in C_s (T). This agrees with the results obtained by a variety of bosonization techniques. We also show how to obtain the same expansion in g_1 within the sine-Gordon model.

description: The temperature dependences of the enhanced critical current in wide and thin Sn films exposed to the microwave field have been investigated experimentally and analyzed. It was found that the microwave field stabilizes the current state of a wide film with respect to the entry of Abrikosov vortices. The stabilizing effect of irradiation increases with frequency. Using similarity between the effects of microwave enhancement of superconductivity observed for homogeneous (narrow films) and inhomogeneous (wide films) distributions of the superconducting current over the film width, we have succeeded in partial extension of the Eliashberg theory to the case of wide films.

description: The Glucksman Library runs a series of programmes to support research, teaching and learning at the University of Limerick (UL). The Special Collections and Archives department within the library utilises its unique and distinctive collections to enhance student experience, encouraging ‘hands-on’ learning for students of all types. As a pilot project in the Autumn Semester of 2018, archivist Dr Kirsten Mulrennan and librarian Sinéad Keogh were invited to co-teach a portion of a fourth-year medical history module run by Dr Ciara Breathnach, Senior Lecturer in the Department of History, as part of her Irish Research Council funded project, 'Death and Burial Data in Ireland, 1864-1922'. This module was designed to do a number of things at once: educate the students about the importance of archival material; encourage critical thinking about the use of medical records for historical research; demonstrate the potential of digital humanities tools for the exploitation of linked data; and introduce the students to the basic concepts of metadata, text mark-up and the Text-Encoding Initiative (TEI). Working in groups with digitised historic records from the Irish Coroner’s Court held in the National Archives of Ireland, the students produced verbatim archival transcriptions of five records, highlighting linked data elements they felt would be most beneficial for future research – elements such as names, places, organisations, dates, and causes of death. The output from the module demonstrated a high level of student engagement with the process, and feedback from both the faculty and students at the end of the module was incredibly favourable. As a result, this module design will be further developed for the coming academic year. Mulrennan and Keogh have used this experience to build their teaching profile within the university, as well as establish lasting links with the history department. Overall, this project illustrates the diverse ways in which academic libraries can work with faculty as partners in digital humanities to grow graduate information literacies and skills, creatively use technological tools to get both staff and students engaged with historic sources, and ultimately, that the increasing integration of rare books and archival material into the curriculum allows for the continued development of unique academic programmes at UL.

(2006) in beach drift material. Its distribution in North America is shown in Fig. 13. In Scandinavia, the Baltic region, Great Britain, Greenland, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands this macropterous species is found almost exclusively on sandy and gravelly seashores where it occurs beneath decaying seaweed on the strand line (Lindroth 1931; Larsson and Gígja 1959; Böcher 1988), however, in the Faroe Islands it has also been reported from grassland and waste land environments close to the seashore (Bengtson 1981). Given the maritime biology of this species, and the distribution of this species around the margins of the North Atlantic, further investigations should be conducted in Atlantic Canada and New England to determine the extent of its distribution and to examine whether it might be a naturally-occurring Holarctic species.

Chaos and Order in Models of Black Hole Pairs

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Chaos in the orbits of black hole pairs has by now been confirmed by several independent groups. While the chaotic behavior of binary black hole orbits is no longer argued, it remains difficult to quantify the importance of chaos to the evolutionary dynamics of a pair of comparable mass black holes. None of our existing approximations are robust enough to offer convincing quantitative conclusions in the most highly nonlinear regime. It is intriguing to note that in three different approximations to a black hole pair built of a spinning black hole and a non-spinning companion, two approximations exhibit chaos and one approximation does not. The fully relativistic scenario of a spinning test-mass around a Schwarzschild black hole shows chaos, as does the Post-Newtonian Lagrangian approximation. However, the approximately equivalent Post-Newtonian Hamiltonian approximation does not show chaos when only one body spins. It is well known in dynamical systems theory that one system can be regular while an approximately related system is chaotic, so there is no formal conflict. However,the physical question remains, Is there chaos for comparable mass binaries when only one object spins? We are unable to answer this question given the poor convergence of the Post-Newtonian approximation to the fully relativistic system. A resolution awaits better approximations that can be trusted in the highly nonlinear regime.

description: Phase measurement using a lossless Mach-Zehnder interferometer with certain entangled $N$-photon states can lead to a phase sensitivity of the order of 1/N, the Heisenberg limit. However, previously considered output measurement schemes are different for different input states to achieve this limit. We show that it is possible to achieve this limit just by the parity measurement for all the commonly proposed entangled states. Based on the parity measurement scheme, the reductions of the phase sensitivity in the presence of photon loss are examined for the various input states.

description: We obtained three consecutive HST spectroscopic observations of a single superoutburst of the dwarf nova VW Hydri. The spectra cover the beginning, middle, and end of the superoutburst. All of the spectra are dominated by strong absorption lines due to CIII (1175 Å), Lyman alpha (1216 Å), NIV (1238 Å, 1242 Å), SII (1260-65 Å), SIII (1300 Å), CII (1335 Å), SIV (1394 Å, 1402 Å) and CIV (1548 Å, 1550 Å). We discuss the evolution of the far UV energy distribution and line structure during the superoutburst. We note the absence of any P Cygni line structure in the STIS spectra. Using state of the art accretion disk models by Wade and Hubeny, we have determined accretion rates for all three spectra, for two white dwarf masses, 0.55 M$_{\sun}$ and 0.8 M$-{\sun}$. For both white dwarf masses the accretion rate during superoutburst decreased by a factor of two from early to late in the superoutburst. The average accretion rate during superoutburst is $3 - 6 \times 10^{-9}$M$_{\sun}$/yr depending on the white dwarf mass.

description: The existence of dark matter (DM) at scales of few pc down to $\simeq 10^{-5}$ pc around the centers of galaxies and in particular in the Galactic Center region has been considered in the literature. Under the assumption that such a DM clump, principally constituted by non-baryonic matter (like WIMPs) does exist at the center of our galaxy, the study of the $γ$-ray emission from the Galactic Center region allows us to constrain both the mass and the size of this DM sphere. Further constraints on the DM distribution parameters may be derived by observations of bright infrared stars around the Galactic Center. Hall and Gondolo \cite{hallgondolo} used estimates of the enclosed mass obtained in various ways and tabulated by Ghez et al. \cite{Ghez_2003,Ghez_2005}. Moreover, if a DM cusp does exist around the Galactic Center it could modify the trajectories of stars moving around it in a sensible way depending on the DM mass distribution. Here, we discuss the constraints that can be obtained with the orbit analysis of stars (as S2 and S16) moving inside the DM concentration with present and next generations of large telescopes. In particular, consideration of the S2 star apoastron shift may allow improving limits on the DM mass and size.

Howden (1970) and Wright (1989) recorded it from pond-edge debris on Sable Island, NS, and Hoebeke (1985) noted that it occurs in beach debris. Its distribution in Atlantic Canada is shown in Fig. 13. Hoebeke (1985) erroneously plotted the Sable Island (160 km off the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia) records as being from Cape Sable Island (in southwestern Nova Scotia). It is a species found in many decompositional situations (Hoebeke 1985) that only occurs sporadically in coastline environments.

description: A visible action on a complex manifold is a holomorphic action that admits a $J$-transversal totally real submanifold $S$. It is said to be strongly visible if there exists an orbit-preserving anti-holomorphic diffeomorphism $σ$ such that $σ|_S = \mathrm{id}$. In this paper, we prove that for any Hermitian symmetric space $D = G/K$ the action of any symmetric subgroup $H$ is strongly visible. The proof is carried out by finding explicitly an orbit-preserving anti-holomorphic involution and a totally real submanifold $S$. Our geometric results provide a uniform proof of various multiplicity-free theorems of irreducible highest weight modules when restricted to reductive symmetric pairs, for both classical and exceptional cases, for both finite and infinite dimensional cases, and for both discrete and continuous spectra.

Privacy needs of women hospitalized for gynecological surgery

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This phenomenological study was designed to explore the privacy needs of gynecological patients, as perceived by the clients during hospitalization, for the purpose of adding to knowledge and understanding of patients' privacy. Data were collected through sixteen in-depth interviews with eight recently hospitalized patients. The interviews were tape-recorded and transcribed verbatim for each participant. Data were analyzed using Giorgi's (1975) procedure. Analysis of participants' accounts revealed that privacy was important to participants' maintenance of their self-identity. Characteristics of privacy that participants identified as helping to maintain their self-identity included providing time alone for contemplation and helping to control interactions with others. Participants reported that privacy was important for their comfort during situations involving nursing care, basic needs and social interactions with others. Participants suggested that even though they reduced their expectations of privacy during the hospital stay, their privacy needs in hospital were at times still not met. Factors within the hospital setting that contributed or detracted from participants' hospital privacy included behavior of the nurses, doctors, roommates and the physical environment of the hospital. Participants indicated that nurses were the main factor in meeting privacy needs especially while caring for participants and participants' roommates. The findings of this study indicated that participants were willing to trade some privacy for health care. However, participants still valued privacy and considered it important during their hospital stay. There is a lack of research on privacy and acute care hospitalization. Recommendations for further nursing research, nursing practice, nursing education and nursing administration, based on the findings of this study, are presented in the final chapter of the study.

Bledius basalis is newly recorded in New Brunswick. Its distribution in Atlantic Canada is shown in Fig. 14. Herman (1976) indicated that the species was found in coastal habitats from Texas north to Rhode Island. Howden (1970) recorded the species from Sable Island (Nova Scotia), the only previously known Canadian location. The above specimens collected from Petpeswick and Melveryn Square establish the occurrence of this species on the mainland of Nova Scotia. All the sites where this species has been recorded in the United States are coastal and most are slightly moist, slightly vegetated sand flats adjacent to the ocean (Herman 1976). This is true of Petpeswick, a sandy inlet on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia. Melveryn Square, however, lies in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia, although it is only 9 km from “Sand Banks”, a sandy coastal beach on the Bay of Fundy, and B. basalis is macropterous and a capable flier. Jemseg (New Brunswick) is 70 km inland from the Bay of Fundy, however, it is located on the shores of Grand Lake, which at 174 km 2, is the largest freshwater body in Atlantic Canada. This would appear to indicate that B. basalis, while occurring predominantly in coastal localities, can also be found in appropriate inland sites away from the ocean.

Elliptic Flow, Initial Eccentricity and Elliptic Flow fluctuations in Heavy Ion Collisions at RHIC

Year: 2007

description: We present measurements of elliptic flow and event-by-event fluctuations established by the PHOBOS experiment. Elliptic flow scaled by participant eccentricity is found to be similar for both systems when collisions with the same number of participants or the same particle area density are compared. The agreement of elliptic flow between Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions provides evidence that the matter is created in the initial stage of relativistic heavy ion collisions with transverse granularity similar to that of the participant nucleons. The event-by-event fluctuation results reveal that the initial collision geometry is translated into the final state azimuthal particle distribution, leading to an event-by-event proportionality between the observed elliptic flow and initial eccentricity.

description: We study deep-inelastic scattering factorization on a nucleon in the end-point regime $x_B \sim 1-{\cal O}(Λ_{\rm QCD}/Q)$ where the traditional operator product expansion is supposed to fail. We argue, nevertheless, that the standard result holds to leading order in $1-x_B$ due to the absence of the scale dependence on $(1-x_B)Q$. Refactorization of the scale $(1-x_B)Q^2$ in the coefficient function can be made in the soft-collinear effective theory and remains valid in the end-point regime. On the other hand, the traditional refactorization approach introduces the spurious scale $(1-x_B)Q$ in various factors, which drives them nonperturbative in the region of our interest. We show how to improve the situation by introducing a rapidity cut-off scheme, and how to recover the effective theory refactorization by choosing appropriately the cut-off parameter. Through a one-loop calculation, we demonstrate explicitly that the proper soft subtractions must be made in the collinear matrix elements to avoid double counting.

Bledius mandibularis is newly recorded in Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada. Its distribution in Atlantic Canada is shown in Fig. 14. In North America there are two populations; a coastal one occurring from southern Texas to Massachusetts, and an inland one found in the central regions of the United States, north to southern Manitoba (Herman 1972). The coastal population is found on bare, moist ground in saline habitats, generally on the leeward side of islands or peninsulas and behind beach dunes (Herman 1972). Backmans Beach is a small island at the tip of the Second Peninsula in Lunenburg County which is linked to the mainland via a barrier beach. It has six variously sized barrier beach-coastal lagoon areas with associated marshlands and sand flats.

These applications require optimization of the originally low fluorescence quantum yields via genetic engineering. Factors that favour fluorescence over other non-radiative excited state decay channels are yet poorly understood. In this work we employed resonance Raman and fluorescence spectroscopy to analyse the consequences of multiple amino acid substitutions on fluorescence of the iRFP713 benchmark protein. Two groups of mutations distinguishing iRFP from its precursor, the PAS-GAF domain of the bacteriophytochrome P2 from Rhodopseudomonas palustris, have qualitatively different effects on the biliverdin cofactor, which exists in a fluorescent (state II) and a non-fluorescent conformer (state I). Substitution of three critical amino acids in the chromophore binding pocket increases the intrinsic fluorescence quantum yield of state II from 1.7 to 5.0% due to slight structural changes of the tetrapyrrole chromophore. Whereas these changes are accompanied by an enrichment of state II from ~40 to ~50%, a major shift to ~88% is achieved by remote amino acid substitutions. Additionally, an increase of the intrinsic fluorescence quantum yield of this conformer by ~34% is achieved. The present results have important implications for future design strategies of biofluorophores.
The experiences of intensive care unit nurses providing care to the brain dead patient
Creators: name: Borozny, Margaret
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This study describes the meaning intensive care unit nurses attach to their care of the brain dead patient. A phenomenological methodology was used because of its intent to understand experience as it is lived. Because these patients constitute a unique class of dead patients which require intensive nursing care and because of the scarcity of information available on the subjective experience of nurses who provide this care, the study was considered to be essential to fillful a gap in our knowledge. Data were collected through 28 interviews with 11 Caucasian female participants who work in the intensive care units of a tertiary and a quaternary care hospital within the greater Vancouver area. Their ages ranged from their early twenties to over forty years of age. They represented five religious demoninations with one participant having no religious affiliations. One nurse had cared for between two and five brain dead patients, four had provided care for six to ten brain dead patients, and six had cared for more than ten brain dead patients. Throughout the participants' accounts dissonance was the pervasive and unifying theme. The dissonance was seen in the form of either personal or interpersonal discord. The former was seen in relation to five areas: the participant's philosophy about nursing, traditional nursing care activities, the concept of brain death, organ retrieval and transplantation, and professional responsibilities in relation to meeting the nurse's own emotional needs. In contrast, the latter occurred between the nurse and families, physicians, the Pacific Organ Retrieval for Transplantation Team and nursing colleagues. Either form of dissonance results in personal distress and subsequent attempts to reduce the dissonance by distancing and/or designating another as the target of nursing care.

description: Using gamma-ray data from observations of the Milky Way, Andromeda (M31), and the cosmic background, we calculate conservative upper limits on the dark matter self-annihilation cross section to monoenergetic gamma rays, _{gamma gamma}, over a wide range of dark matter masses. (In fact, over most of this range, our results are unchanged if one considers just the branching ratio to gamma rays with energies within a factor of a few of the endpoint at the dark matter mass.) If the final-state branching ratio to gamma rays, Br(gamma gamma), were known, then _{gamma gamma} / Br(gamma gamma) would define an upper limit on the total cross section; we conservatively assume Br(gamma gamma) > 10^{-4}. An upper limit on the total cross section can also be derived by considering the appearance rates of any Standard Model particles; in practice, this limit is defined by neutrinos, which are the least detectable. For intermediate dark matter masses, gamma-ray-based and neutrino-based upper limits on the total cross section are comparable, while the gamma-ray limit is stronger for small masses and the neutrino limit is stronger for large masses. We comment on how these results depend on the assumptions about astrophysical inputs and annihilation final states, and how GLAST and other gamma-ray experiments can improve upon them.

NOVA SCOTIA: Digby Co.: Sandy Cove, 4.VIII.1971, B. Wright, (1, NSMC). Herman (1976) recorded this species from Newfoundland, Nova Scotia (the Atlantic coast), and the French territory of Saint-Pierre et Miquelon. Its distribution in Atlantic Canada is shown in Fig. 14. Campbell and Davies’s (1991) checklist included the species from New Brunswick without, however, providing any records. The above records establish its presence in New Brunswick and indicate that the species occurs on both the Nova Scotia and New Brunswick shores of Bay of Fundy. It is found on moist, un-vegetated sand flats on the leeward sides of islands and peninsulas, as well as in the intertidal zone. It has been collected in the region in association with the predaceous carabids Dyschirius sphaericollis Say and Dyschirius pallipennis Say (Herman 1976).

description: The instability against emission of massless particles by the trapping horizon of an evolving black hole is analyzed with the use of the Hamilton-Jacobi method. The method automatically selects one special expression for the surface gravity of a changing horizon. Indeed, the strength of the horizon singularity turns out to be governed by the surface gravity as was defined a decade ago by Hayward using Kodama's theory of spherically symmetric gravitational fields. The theory also applies to point masses embedded in an expanding universe, were the surface gravity is still related to Kodama-Hayward theory. As a bonus of the tunneling method, we gain the insight that the surface gravity still defines a temperature parameter as long as the evolution is sufficiently slow that the black hole pass through a sequence of quasi-equilibrium states.

description: The spectral dynamics of a mid-infrared multimode Cr^2+:ZnSe laser located in a vacuum sealed chamber containing acetylene at low pressure is analyzed by a stepping-mode high-resolution time-resolved Fourier transform interferometer. Doppler-limited absorption spectra of C_2H_2 in natural isotopic abundance are recorded around 4000 cm^-1 with kilometric absorption path lengths and sensitivities better than 3 10^-8 cm-1. Two cold bands are newly identified and assigned to the n_1+n_4^1 and n_3+n_5^1 transitions of ^12C^13CH_2. The n_1+n_5^1 band of ^12C_2HD and fourteen ^12C_2H_2 bands are observed, among which for the first time n_2+2n_4^2+n_5^-1.

description: Despite the recent successful application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to games, the performance of cooperative agents in imperfect information games is still far from surpassing humans. Cooperating with teammates whose play-styles are not previously known poses additional challenges to current state-of-the-art algorithms. In the Swiss card game Jass, coordination within the two opposing teams is crucial for winning. Since verbal communication is forbidden, the only way to transmit information within the team is through a player’s play-style. This makes the game a particularly suitable candidate subject to continue the research on AI in cooperation games with hidden information. In this work, we analyse the effectiveness and shortcomings of several state-of-the-art algorithms (Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) variants and Deep Neural Networks (DNNs)) at playing the Jass game. Our key contributions are two-fold. First, we provide a performance overview for state-of-the-art algorithms, thus, setting a strong foundation for further research on the subject. Second, we implement and open-source1 a platform where different agents (both humans and AI) can play Jass in an automated fashion, effectively reducing the overhead for other researchers who want to perform further experiments.

Laporte, 322 specimens, Majka and Shaffer (in press). Herman (1976) recorded this species from Newfoundland, Nova Scotia (Sable Island), and Prince Edward Island (Fig. 14). In Nova Scotia the species has only been recorded from Sable Island (Howden 1970, Wright 1989). More recently Majka and Shaffer (in press) recorded large numbers in the diet of Piping Plovers in the Iles de la Madeleine, Québec, newly recording the species from that province. Herman (1976) found the species on moist, un-vegetated sand flats on the leeward side of an island and on algae covered moist sand flats. On Sable Island specimens have been found associated with dead gulls, in large swarming groups along the shores of Wallace Lake, and on wet sand at the edge of small ponds (Wright 1989). In the Iles de la Madeleine they are found on moist sand flats in the lee of large barrier beaches (Majka and Shaffer in press). The species’ distribution in Atlantic Canada is shown in Fig. 14.

description: Motivated by recent developments on visible actions on complex manifolds, we raise a question whether or not the multiplication of three subgroups $L$, $G'$ and $H$ surjects a Lie group $G$ in the setting that $G/H$ carries a complex structure and contains $G'/G' \cap H$ as a totally real submanifold. Particularly important cases are when $G/L$ and $G/H$ are generalized flag varieties, and we classify pairs of Levi subgroups $(L, H)$ such that $L G' H = G$, or equivalently, the real generalized flag variety $G'/H \cap G'$ meets every $L$-orbit on the complex generalized flag variety $G/H$ in the setting that $(G, G') = (U(n), O(n))$. For such pairs $(L, H)$, we introduce a \textit{herringbone stitch} method to find a generalized Cartan decomposition for the double coset space $L \backslash G/H$, for which there has been no general theory in the non-symmetric case. Our geometric results provides a unified proof of various multiplicity-free theorems in representation theory of general linear groups.
