Profili civilistici della vendita giudiziale di beni immobili in Italia e in Spagna
Civil aspects of the judicial sale of real unmovable property in Italy and Spain
Creators: name: Murga Fernandez, Juan Pablo <1986>
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2014
Subjects: IUS/01 Diritto privato

description: La tesi di dottorato ha come oggetto di studio gli aspetti sostanziali della vendita giudiziale da un punto di vista comparatistico tra Spagna e Italia. Si tratta di un tema che non è stato analizzato profondamente dalle più recenti dottrine spagnola e italiana, che è caratterizzato da una notevole complessità tecnica visto il suo forte carattere interdisciplinare (in particolare, processuale-sostanziale) e la cui vigenza attuale è stata intensificata dalla grande quantità di processi di esecuzione che in questo periodo di instabilità economica sono una constante nei Tribunali spagnoli e italiani. Il fatto che costituisca un’istituzione giuridica inquadrata nell’ambito del processo di espropriazione forzata fa sì che questa possieda un accentuato carattere processuale e, infatti, è il legislatore processuale che si occupa per la maggior parte del suo regime giuridico. Tuttavia, al di là di questa sua natura evidentemente processuale, essa produce una serie di effetti sostanziali di enorme importanza, che sono proprio l’oggetto della tesi di dottorato, nello specifico ambito dei beni immobili (considerando la grande importanza economica e pratica dei diritti di questa natura nella nostra realtà socio-economica).
description: The PhD thesis seeks the study of the civil aspects of the judicial sale from a comparative point of view between Italy and Spain. It is a subject which hasn't been deeply analyzed by the recent Italian and Spanish doctrine, and which is characterized by a considerable technical complexity due to its interdisciplinary nature (mainly, procedural and civil). It is also a current issue in this period of economic crisis in which foreclosure processes are a day by day reality of our Courts. The fact of being an institution framed in the foreclosure process outlines its procedural nature, but that cannot hide the fact of producing important civil effects of great importance which are precisely the aim of the PhD thesis.
Spectral conditions for positive maps

description: We provide a partial classification of positive linear maps in matrix algebras which is based on a family of spectral conditions. This construction generalizes celebrated Choi example of a map which is positive but not completely positive. It is shown how the spectral conditions enable one to construct linear maps on tensor products of matrix algebras which are positive but only on a convex subset of separable elements. Such maps provide basic tools to study quantum entanglement in multipartite systems.

description: As we re-examine the known holographic N=1 supersymmetric renormalization group flow in four dimensions, we describe the mass-deformed Bagger-Lambert theory or equivalently the mass-deformed U(2) x U(2) Chern-Simons gauge theory with level k=1 or 2, that has G_2 symmetry, by adding a mass term for one of the eight adjoint superfields. We obtain a detailed correspondence between the fields of AdS_4 supergravity and composite operators of the infrared field theory in three dimensions. The geometric superpotential from an eleven dimensional viewpoint is obtained for M2-brane probe analysis.

Landscape ecology and genetics of the wolf in Italy
Creators: name: Milanesi, Pietro <1982>
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2014
Subjects: BIO/18 Genetica

description: This PhD Thesis includes five main parts on diverse topics. The first two parts deal with the trophic ecology of wolves in Italy consequently to a recent increase of wild ungulates abundance. Data on wolf diet across time highlighted  how wild ungulates are important food resource for wolves in Italy. Increasing wolf population, increasing numbers of wild ungulates and decreasing livestock consume are mitigating wolf-man conflicts in Italy in the near future.
In the third part, non-invasive genetic sampling techniques were used to obtain genotypes and genders of about 400 wolves. Thus, wolf packs were genetically reconstructed using diverse population genetic and parentage software. Combining the results on pack structure and genetic relatedness with sampling locations, home ranges of wolf packs and dispersal patterns were identified. These results, particularly important for the conservation management of wolves in Italy, illustrated detailed information that can be retrieved from genetic identification of individuals.
In the fourth part, wolf locations were combined with environmental information obtained as GIS-layers. Modern species distribution models (niche models) were applied to infer potential wolf distribution and predation risk. From the resulting distribution maps, information pastures with the highest risk of depredation were derived. This is particularly relevant as it allows identifying those areas under danger of carnivore attack on livestock. 
Finally, in the fifth part, habitat suitability models were combined with landscape genetic analysis. On one side landscape genetic analyses on the Italian wolves provided new information on the dynamics and connectivity of the population and, on the other side, a profound analysis of the effects that habitat suitability methods had on the parameterization of landscape genetic analyses was carried out to contributed significantly to landscape genetic theory.

description: The violation of the null energy condition (NEC) may play a crucial role in enabling a scalar field to climb over high potential barriers, potentially significant in the very early universe. We propose a single-field model where the universe sequentially undergoes a first stage of slow-roll inflation, NEC violation, and a second stage of slow-roll inflation. Through the NEC violation, the scalar field climbs over high potential barriers, leaving unique characteristics on the primordial gravitational wave power spectrum, including a blue-tilted nature in the middle-frequency range and diminishing oscillation amplitudes at higher frequencies. Additionally, the power spectrum exhibits nearly scale-invariant behavior on both large and small scales.

Discretized boundary surface reconstruction

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021

description: Domain discretization is an essential part of the solution procedure in numerical simulations. Meshless methods simplify the domain discretization to positioning of nodes in the interior and on the boundary of the domain. However, generally speaking, the shape of the boundary is often undefined and thus needs to be constructed before it can be discretized with a desired internodal spacing. Domain shape construction is far from trivial and is the main challenge of this paper. We tackle the simulation of moving boundary problems where the lack of domain shape information can introduce difficulties. We present a solution for 2D surface reconstruction from discretization points using cubic splines and thus providing a surface description anywhere in the domain. We also demonstrate the presented algorithm in a simulation of phase-change-like problem.
Optimal performance of a three stroke heat engine in the microscopic regime
Creators: name: Biswas, Tanmoy

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider a three-stroke engine in the microscopic regime, where the working body of the engine is composed of a two-level system. The working body of the engine aims to withdraw heat from the hot heat bath, generate work, and discharge the surplus heat into the cold heat bath through the successive execution of three strokes. In this process, the interaction of the working body with the heat baths is assumed to be energy-conserving and thus can be described by thermal operations. While earlier studies analyzed the optimal performance of this engine when the working body could be transformed by any arbitrary thermal operation, we present closed expressions for the maximum work produced by the engine and the maximum efficiency of the engine when only a restricted class of thermal operations can be implemented on the working body. Furthermore, we explore the engine's optimal performance under two well-studied classes of restrictions: thermal operations realized via Jaynes-Cummings interaction and thermal operations realizable with finite-sized heat baths. Therefore, on one hand, our results are general, as they reproduce the optimal performance achieved when any arbitrary thermal operation can be implemented on the working body once the restriction is relaxed. On the other hand, our results allow us to determine the engine's maximum work production and efficiency in a more realistic scenario, where only a restricted class of thermal operations are possible, thereby bringing our findings closer to experimental feasibility.

Nonadiabatic evolution and thermodynamics for a boundary-driven system with a weak intrasubsystem interaction

description: We derive a time-dependent master equation for an externally driven system whose subsystems weakly interact with each other and locally connect to the thermal reservoirs. The nonadiabatic equation obtained here can be viewed as a generalization of the local master equation, which has already been extensively used in describing the dynamics of a boundary-driven system. In addition, we investigate the fundamental reason underlying the thermodynamic inconsistency generated by the local and nonadiabatic master equations. We fnd that these two equations are consistent with the second law of thermodynamics when the system is far away from the steady state, while they give rise to the contradiction at the steady state. Finally, we numerically confrm our results by considering a toy model consisting of two qubits and two local heat baths.

description: We investigate the BPS configuration of the multi D-vortices produced from the D2${\bar {\rm D}}$2 system. Based on the DBI-type action with a Gaussian-type runaway potential for a complex tachyon field, the BPS limit is achieved when the tachyon profile is thin. The solution states randomly-distributed $n$ static D-vortices with zero interaction. With the obtained BPS configuration, we derive the relativistic Lagrangian which describes the dynamics of free massive D-vortices. We also discuss the 90${}^{\circ}$ and 180${}^{\circ}$ scattering of two identical D-vortices, and present its implications on the reconnection in the dynamics of cosmic superstrings.

description: The magnetocaloric effect in a two-dimensional Ising model is considered for different ratios between parameters of inter-site repulsion of nonmagnetic impurities and exchange coupling. Classical Monte Carlo simulations on a square lattice show that in case of weak coupling and at sufficiently high concentrations of nonmagnetic impurities the long-range ferromagnetic ordering breaks down to give isolated spin clusters in the ground state of the system. This leads to appearance of a paramagnetic response in the system at the zero temperature and nonzero entropy of the ground state. The feasibility to detect frustration of ground state using data on the magnetic entropy variation is discussed
A Stochastic Geo-spatiotemporal Bipartite Network to Optimize GCOOS Sensor Placement Strategies

description: This paper proposes two new measures applicable in a spatial bipartite network model: coverage and coverage robustness. The bipartite network must consist of observer nodes, observable nodes, and edges that connect observer nodes to observable nodes. The coverage and coverage robustness scores evaluate the effectiveness of the observer node placements. This measure is beneficial for stochastic data as it may be coupled with Monte Carlo simulations to identify optimal placements for new observer nodes. In this paper, we construct a Geo-SpatioTemporal Bipartite Network (GSTBN) within the stochastic and dynamical environment of the Gulf of Mexico. This GSTBN consists of GCOOS sensor nodes and HYCOM Region of Interest (RoI) event nodes. The goal is to identify optimal placements to expand GCOOS to improve the forecasting outcomes by the HYCOM ocean prediction model.

Contact conductance between graphene and quantum wires

description: The contact conductance between graphene and two quantum wires which serve as the leads to connect graphene and electron reservoirs is theoretically studied. Our investigation indicates that the contact conductance depends sensitively on the graphene-lead coupling configuration. When each quantum wire couples solely to one carbon atom, the contact conductance vanishes at the Dirac point if the two carbon atoms coupling to the two leads belong to the same sublattice of graphene. We find that such a feature arises from the chirality of the Dirac electron in graphene. Such a chirality associated with conductance zero disappears when a quantum wire couples to multiple carbon atoms. The general result irrelevant to the coupling configuration is that the contact conductance decays rapidly with the increase of the distance between the two leads. In addition, in the weak graphene-lead coupling limit, when the distance between the two leads is much larger than the size of the graphene-lead contact areas and the incident electron energy is close to the Dirac point, the contact conductance is proportional to the square of the product of the two graphene-lead contact areas, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two leads.

description: A minimal non-thermal dark matter model that can explain both the existence of dark matter and the baryon asymmetry in the universe is studied. It requires two color-triplet, iso-singlet scalars with $\mathcal{O}$(TeV) masses and a singlet Majorana fermion with a mass of $\mathcal{O}$(GeV). The fermion becomes stable and can play the role of the dark matter candidate. We consider the fermion to interact with a top quark via the exchange of QCD-charged scalar fields coupled dominantly to third generation fermions. The signature of a single top quark production associated with a bottom quark and large missing transverse momentum opens up the possibility to search for this type of model at the LHC in a way complementary to existing monotop searches.
A comparison of two methods in the teaching of physics
Creators: name: Reekie, John David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this study was to compare two methods of teaching science. The two methods were a self-paced method which used learning activity packages stated in behavioral objectives and a teacher-paced, teacher-directed method in which the students were not given the objectives. This investigation was undertaken because the effectiveness of the self-paced method had been questioned in the school situation where it was being applied. The existing situation at the initiation of this study at Frank Hurt Secondary in Surrey, British Columbia, provided the setting for a natural experiment. The experimental phase of this study took place over the first two trimesters of the school year. The subjects were students in four science eight classes. Two classes were taught by each of the two teachers, with one class, for each teacher, randomly assigned to each method. The effectiveness of the teaching methods was determined by comparing the mean scores of the five dependent variables: acquisition and retention of science knowledge, understanding of science processes, and student's attitudes to experimenting and independent investigations. The data were analyzed using a two by two by two (method-by-teacher-by-gender) fixed effects factorial design. The results of the analyses indicated that the self-paced method was as effective as the teacher-paced method as measured on four of the dependent variables and was superior to the teacher-paced method for teaching and understanding of science processes. A significant interaction effect between the teaching method and the gender of the student showed that males scored much higher on the Test of Science Processes when taught by the self-paced method. Contrary to what was expected the gender of the student was found to have no effect on student achievement or attitudes to science. Significant interaction effects between teacher and teaching method for the two attitude scales indicated that the effectiveness that a teaching method had on student attitudes depended on the teacher using the teaching method. Recommendations for further research were proposed. Finally, the epilogue brings the reader up to date on the use of the self-paced method of teaching at Frank Hurt Secondary.

description: Local meshless methods obtain higher convergence rates when RBF approximations are augmented with monomials up to a given order. If the order of the approximation method is spatially variable, the numerical solution is said to be p-refined. In this work, we employ RBF-FD approximation method with polyharmonic splines augmented with monomials and study the numerical properties of p-refined solutions, such as convergence orders and execution time. To fully exploit the refinement advantages, the numerical performance is studied on a Poisson problem with a strong source within the domain.

Mara Mattuschka, die in den 1980er-Jahren ihre ersten experimentellen Kurzfilme drehte, soll als Vertreterin eines bisher größtenteils unsichtbaren Kollektivs sichtbar gemacht und gleichzeitig als eigenständige Künstlerin wahrgenommen werden. Sie steht somit beispielhaft für die Vielschichtigkeit der österreichischen Regisseurinnen, die dem Neuen Österreichischen Film ab 1999 den Weg bereitet haben. Anhand ihres Langfilmes Der Einzug des Rokoko ins Inselreich der Huzzis (1989), einer Zusammenarbeit mit Andres Karner und Hans-Werner Poschauko, wird die intermediale Arbeitsweise der Künstlerin verdeutlicht sowie die Frage nach körper-politischer Performanz gestellt, die einerseits genrebedingt zu sein scheint und andererseits sich in der Darstellung des (grotesken) Körpers und der Verwendung von Sprache bemerkbar macht. Vieldeutigkeiten sind hierbei – im Sinne Mara Mattuschkas – erlaubt und erwünscht.

description: The "periodic table" of strongly coupled gauge theories remains only sketchily understood. Holography has developed to the point where bottom up constructions can describe the spectrum of individual gauge theories (based on assumptions of their running) including quarks in different representations and higher dimension operators. I highlight the method with a "perfected" version of an AdS dual of QCD and results for composite higgs models with two representations of quarks. The method raises questions about the degree to which energy scales can be split in generic gauge theories including whether confinement and chiral symmetry breaking are linked.

description: Nigeria's cashless policy, introduced in 2012 by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), aimed to promote a more efficient and secure financial system by encouraging the use of electronic payments. While the policy has achieved some successes, such as reducing the amount of cash in circulation and increasing the use of electronic payments, it has also presented challenges for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).  Objectives: The main objective of this study is to examine the impact of cashless policy on SME customers’ satisfaction in selected (5) five deposit money banks in Lagos State.  Methods: This study adopted a cross-sectional survey research design. Inferential statistics was used to examine the relationship between the variables under investigation. Results: The result shows that Cashless   policy practices have positive and moderately average relationship with SMEs’ customer satisfaction of deposit money banks in Lagos State (R = 0.68, p=0.000) Conclusion: This study assert and accepts that Cashless   policy practices (Debit and credit cards, online bank transfers) do significantly affect SMEs’ customer satisfaction of deposit money banks in Lagos State.  Recommendations: Banks should address the issue of customer education by embarking on rigorous campaigns to educate customers on how to use various payments platforms; Banks should invest in digital infrastructure that can handle increased digital transactions real- time that are user friendly, secure and reliable

description: Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a typical kind of vaginal mucosal infection. Herein, we developed a novel vaginal delivery system of amphotericin B (AmB) nanosuspension-loaded thermogel (AmB NPs/thermogel) utilising pharmaceutical technique of high-pressure homogenisation and Poloxamer P407/P188 hydrogel. The stabiliser and hydrogel materials of the formulation were tested to maintain proper sol–gel transition as well as the relative stability of the particle size of AmB nanosuspension in the thermogel. The particle size of AmB nanosuspensions in the hydrogel was ∼247 nm. Transmission electron microscopy images confirmed the round-shape morphology of AmB nanoparticles in AmB NPs/thermogel, while that of irregular morphology of merely AmB nanosuspensions without stabiliser and hydrogel materials. AmB could be sustained release for ∼12 h in vitro. In vivo drug content in the vaginal tissue was also evaluated with 87, 47, 33 and 6.7% drug remaining after 1, 3, 6 and 12 h, respectively. The in vivo anti-Candida test was conducted on candidiasis-infected mice model. In the same drug dose of 2.5 mg/kg, AmB NPs/thermogel showed better anti-Candida efficiency compared with commercial AmB effervescent tablet. This delivery system might show some insights for the vaginal formulation development of other hydrophobic antifungal drugs.

description: We study the superfluid--Bose-glass transition in a one-dimensional lattice boson model with power-law decaying hopping amplitude $t_{i-j}\sim 1/|i-j|^α$, using bosonization and the nonperturbative functional renormalization group (FRG). When $α$ is smaller than a critical value $α_c<3$, the U(1) symmetry is spontaneously broken, which leads to a density mode with nonlinear dispersion and dynamical exponent $z=(α-1)/2$; the superfluid phase is then stable for sufficiently weak disorder, contrary to the case of short-range hopping where the superfluid phase is destabilized by an infinitesimal disorder when the Luttinger parameter is smaller than $3/2$. In the presence of disorder, long-range hopping has however no effect in the infrared limit and the FRG flow eventually becomes similar to that of a boson system with short-range hopping. This implies that the superfluid phase, when stable, exhibits a density mode with linear dispersion ($z=1$) and the superfluid--Bose-glass transition remains in the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless universality class, while the Bose-glass fixed point is insensitive to long-range hopping. We compare our findings with a recent numerical study.

description: The solutions for the helical edge states for an effective continuum model for the quantum spin Hall effect in HgTe/CdTe quantum wells are presented. For a sample of a large size, the solution gives the linear dispersion for the edge states. However, in a finite strip geometry, the edge states at two sides will couple with each other, which leads to a finite energy gap in the spectra. The gap decays in an exponential law of the width of sample. The magnetic field dependence of the edge states illustrates the difference of the edge states from those of a conventional quantum Hall strip of two-dimensional electron gas.

description: Electron transport properties in a parallel double-quantum-dot structure with three-terminals are theoretically studied. By introducing a local Rashba spin-orbit coupling, we find that an incident electron from one terminal can select a specific terminal to depart from the quantum dots according to its spin state. As a result, spin polarization and spin separation can be simultaneously realized in this structure. And spin polarizations in different terminals can be inverted by tuning the structure parameters. The underlying quantum interference that gives rise to such a result is analyzed in the language of Feynman paths for the electron transmission.

description: In the framework of a one-boson-exchange model, we carry out a comprehensive investigation of the $Ξ_cN/Λ_cΣ/Ξ_c^{\prime}N/Σ_cΛ/Ξ_c^*N/Σ_c^*Λ/Σ_cΣ/Σ_c^*Σ$ interactions. We consider the $S$-$D$-wave mixing effects and the coupled-channel effects to derive the relevant effective potentials. Our results can predict several possible charm-strange deuteronlike $Ξ_c^{(',*)}N$ hexaquarks, the $Ξ_c^{\prime}N$ molecules with $I(I^P)=0(0^+)$, $0(1^+)$, $1(1^+)$, the $Ξ_c^*N$ molecules with $0(1^+)$, $0(2^+)$, $1(2^+)$, and the coupled $Ξ_cN/Ξ_c^{\prime}N/Ξ_c^*N/Σ_cΣ/Σ_c^*Σ$ molecule with $0(1^+)$. We expect the experiments to search for our predictions of the $Ξ_c^{(\prime,*)}N$ bound states.

description: Nasal adhesions are a known postoperative complication following surgical procedures for nasal airway obstruction (NAO); and are a common cause of surgical failure, with patients often reporting significant NAO, despite relatively minor adhesion size. Division of such nasal adhesions often provides much greater relief than anticipated, based on the minimal reduction in cross-sectional area associated with the adhesion. The available literature regarding nasal adhesions provides little evidence examining their quantitative and qualitative effects on nasal airflow using objective measures. This study examined the impact of nasal adhesions at various anatomical sites on nasal airflow and mucosal cooling using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). A high-resolution CT scan of the paranasal sinuses of a 25-year-old, healthy female patient was segmented to create a three-dimensional nasal airway model. Virtual nasal adhesions of 2.5~mm diameter were added to various locations within the nasal cavity, representing common sites seen following NAO surgery. A series of models with single adhesions were created. CFD analysis was performed on each model and compared with a baseline no-adhesion model, comparing airflow and heat and mass transfer. The nasal adhesions resulted in no significant change in bulk airflow patterns through the nasal cavity. However, significant changes were observed in local airflow and mucosal cooling around and immediately downstream to the nasal adhesions. These were most evident with anterior nasal adhesions at the internal valve and anterior inferior turbinate.

description: Surveillance is essential to diagnose and more effectively treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in at-risk patients. However, the performance of currently recommended surveillance strategies is suboptimal, particularly for early-stage detection, and patient adherence remains low. Here, we establish the analytical performance of a novel liquid biopsy test to evaluate the presence of HCC. The multi-target HCC blood test (mt-HBT) integrates results from three DNA methylation markers (HOXA1, TSPYL5, and B3GALT6), the protein biomarker α-fetoprotein (AFP), and patient sex. The methylation markers are quantified from cell-free DNA extracted from plasma, and AFP is measured from serum. We conducted analytical validation studies on the mt-HBT, including analytical sensitivity, linearity, cross-contamination, interference, analytical accuracy, and precision. The mt-HBT performance met all pre-specified analytical performance criteria. The test demonstrated high reproducibility, with ≥97% concordance relative to the expected results for six categories of surrogate samples across the test’s dynamic range. Of 17 candidate interfering substances, none caused significant interference to biomarker quantitation, and no occurrences of sample-to-sample cross-contamination were observed. These data demonstrate that the mt-HBT can produce consistent, reliable results for patients in the intended-use population, for whom surveillance is recommended.

description: Subgenus Ectoedemia Diagnosis. Moderately sized Nepticulidae, usually with a distinct cilia line and pale cilia, and pale (dull white or metallic) fascia or separate spots; scaling rather coarse. Male abdominal tip usually with conspicuous anal tufts. In Europe other Ectoedemia subgenera that resemble these species are Etainia Beirne, 1945, which all have a fascia in addition to a dorsal and costal spot and Fomoria Beirne, 1945, which usually have a dorsal spot only (also in Ectoedemia intimella, but that has a pale antenna), and when a costal spot is present as well, both spots are far apart. Th e few species without colour pattern may be confused with Bohemannia pulverosella (Stainton, 1849) or Trifurcula, see generic diagnosis.

description: Quantum Hall systems are platforms of choice when it comes to study topological properties of condensed matter systems and anyonic exchange statistics. In this work we have developed a tunable radiofrequency edge magnetoplasmonic resonator meant to serve as a versatile platform for future interferometric devices. The resonance frequency of the system is controlled by both the magnetic field and a set of electrostatic gates. The gates allow us to change both the size of the resonant cavity and the electronic density of the two-dimensional electron gas. We show that we can continuously control the frequency response of our resonator, making it possible to develop an edge magnetoplasmon interferometer. As we reach smaller sizes of our resonator, finite size effects caused by the measurement probes manifest. We present a theoretical description of the system taking into account the spatial extension of the probing gates. In the future, such device will be a valuable tool to investigate the properties of non-abelian anyons in the fractional quantum Hall regime.
Carl Schaefer, the paintings of the 1930’s
Creators: name: Johnston, Peggy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Carl Schaefer is a Canadian painter who has worked in Toronto and southwestern Ontario since the late twenties. His style developed from the landscape tradition established by the Group of Seven; yet he evolved a distinct style in the thirties, largely affected by the medium of watercolour and a personal approach to a familiar countryside. This thesis, entitled Carl Schaefer: the Paintings of the 1930's, is a study of Carl Schaefer's work and the artistic environment in which he painted during the decade of the 1930's as a means of showing the development of what is considered his mature style and of establishing him as one of the distinguished painters of the period. Though now singled out for their importance in a retrospective view of the 1930's, Carl Schaefer's paintings warrant a more thorough study. This thesis intends, in Chapter I to trace his early development, bringing in his background and early art training, the influence of his teachers, several of whom were members of the Group of Seven, of his contemporaries and of those artists whom he both admired and felt a sympathy for. Chapter II examines the milieu in which Carl Schaefer worked by following critical reaction to exhibitions and to artistic trends in Canada (with an emphasis on Ontario). The landscapes and still lifes of the thirties are the subjects of Chapters III and IV. Here, selected works have been studied as a means of tracing his style from the early works until 1940. Chapter V looks at critical reaction during the 1930's to Carl Schaefer's work in order to establish his place among his contemporaries. The existing material, that is to say, paintings, prints and drawings, exhibition catalogues, histories of Canadian art, letters, a taped interview, a monograph and periodical articles (with particular emphasis here on those written during the 1930's) have been studied as the background for this thesis.

description: When an oil droplet is placed on a quiescent oil bath, it eventually collapses into the bath due to gravity. The resulting coalescence may be eliminated when the bath is vertically vibrated. The droplet bounces periodically on the bath, and the air layer between the droplet and the bath is replenished at each bounce. This sustained bouncing motion is achieved when the forcing acceleration is higher than a threshold value. When the droplet has a sufficiently low viscosity, it significantly deforms : spherical harmonic \boldmath{$Y_{\ell}^m$} modes are excited, resulting in resonant effects on the threshold acceleration curve. Indeed, a lower acceleration is needed when $\ell$ modes with $m=0$ are excited. Modes $m \ne 0$ are found to decrease the bouncing ability of the droplet. When the mode $\ell=2$ and $m=1$ is excited, the droplet rolls on the vibrated surface without touching it, leading to a new self-propulsion mode.
