description: We present results of Hubble Space Telescope NICMOS H-band imaging of 73 of most luminous (i.e., log[L_IR/L_0]>11.4) Infrared Galaxies (LIRGs) in the Great Observatories All-sky LIRG Survey (GOALS). This dataset combines multi-wavelength imaging and spectroscopic data from space (Spitzer, HST, GALEX, and Chandra) and ground-based telescopes. In this paper we use the high-resolution near-infrared data to recover nuclear structure that is obscured by dust at optical wavelengths and measure the evolution in this structure along the merger sequence. A large fraction of all galaxies in our sample possess double nuclei (~63%) or show evidence for triple nuclei (~6%). Half of these double nuclei are not visible in the HST B-band images due to dust obscuration. The majority of interacting LIRGs have remaining merger timescales of 0.3 to 1.3 Gyrs, based on the projected nuclear separations and the mass ratio of nuclei. We find that the bulge luminosity surface density increases significantly along the merger sequence (primarily due to a decrease of the bulge radius), while the bulge luminosity shows a small increase towards late merger stages. No significant increase of the bulge Sersic index is found. LIRGs that show no interaction features have on average a significantly larger bulge luminosity, suggesting that non merging LIRGs have larger bulge masses than merging LIRGs. This may be related to the flux limited nature of the sample and the fact that mergers can significantly boost the IR luminosity of otherwise low luminosity galaxies. We find that the projected nuclear separation is significantly smaller for ULIRGs (median value of 1.2 kpc) than for LIRGs (mean value of 6.7 kpc), suggesting that the LIRG phase appears earlier in mergers than the ULIRG phase.

description: The holographic mask technique is used to create freely moving electrons with quantized angular momentum. With electron optical elements they can be focused to vortices with diameters below the nanometer range. The understanding of these vortex beams is important for many applications. Here we present a theory of focused free electron vortices. The agreement with experimental data is excellent. As an immediate application, fundamental experimental parameters like spherical aberration and partial coherence are determined.

description: We consider pair production and decay of fundamental unstable particles in the framework of a modified perturbation theory (MPT), which treats resonant contributions of unstable particles in the sense of distributions. The cross-section of the process is calculated within the NNLO of the MPT in a model that admits exact solution. Universal massless-particles contributions are taken into consideration. The calculations are carried out by means of FORTRAN code with double precision, which ensures per mille accuracy of computations. A comparison of the outcomes with the exact solution reveals an excellent convergence of the MPT series at the energies close to and above the maximum of the cross-section. Near the maximum of the cross-section the discrepancy of the NNLO approximation makes up a few per mille.

description: Large-scale breeding of livestock and poultry is the main way of modern animal husbandry development. This breeding method is widely used by the majority of owners because of its easy technical promotion, low breeding cost and good economic benefits. But with the development of large-scale livestock and poultry breeding, the pollution and damage to the environment caused by fecal pollution from large-scale livestock and poultry breeding has been criticized by many environmentalists.In this paper, through visit and investigation of large-scale livestock and poultry farms, the methods and measures of environmental protection in the construction of large-scale livestock and poultry farms are proposed.

description: We investigate zero sound in $D$-dimensional effective holographic theories, whose action is given by Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton terms. The bulk spacetimes include both zero temperature backgrounds with anisotropic scaling symmetry and their near-extremal counterparts obtained in 1006.2124 [hep-th], while the massless charge carriers are described by probe D-branes. We discuss thermodynamics of the probe D-branes analytically. In particular, we clarify the conditions under which the specific heat is linear in the temperature, which is a characteristic feature of Fermi liquids. We also compute the retarded Green's functions in the limit of low frequency and low momentum and find quasi-particle excitations in certain regime of the parameters. The retarded Green's functions are plotted at specific values of parameters in $D=4$, where the specific heat is linear in the temperature and the quasi-particle excitation exists. We also calculate the AC conductivity in $D$-dimensions as a by-product.

description: Project 1640 is a high-contrast imaging instrument recently commissioned at Palomar observatory. A combination of a coronagraph with an integral field spectrograph (IFS), Project 1640 is designed to detect and characterize extrasolar planets, brown dwarfs, and circumstellar material orbiting nearby stars. In this paper, we present our data processing techniques for improving upon instrument raw sensitivity via the removal of quasi-static speckles. Our approach utilizes the chromatic image diversity provided by the IFS in combination with the locally-optimized combination of images (LOCI) algorithm to suppress the intensity of residual contaminating light in close angular proximity to target stars. We describe the Project 1640 speckle suppression pipeline (PSSP) and demonstrate the ability to detect companions with brightness comparable to and below that of initial speckle intensities using on-sky commissioning data. Our preliminary results indicate that suppression factors of at least one order of magnitude are consistently possible, reaching $5σ$ contrast levels of $2.1\times10^{-5}$ at $1\arcsec$ in the H-band in 20 minutes of on-source integration time when non-common-path errors are reasonably well-calibrated. These results suggest that near-infrared contrast levels of order $\approx10^{-7}$ at subarcsecond separations will soon be possible for Project 1640 and similarly designed instruments that receive a diffraction-limited beam corrected by adaptive optics (AO) systems employing deformable mirrors with high actuator-density.

description: deliverable D3.2 is a set of guidelines on best practices for
 FAIR-health metadata templates, comprising the use of interoperable
 vocabularies and metadata schemes for health-related data, carrying out a
 comprehensive study of current metadata standards and quality to make data FAIR
 in the health field.
 As conclusions, recommendations for FAIRness assessment are gathered, including
 tools to carry out an automatic assessment of datasets against the FAIR principles.
 Besides, we can conclude the use of a descriptive metadata record template
 compatible with the Data Catalog Vocabulary specifying an Application Profile
 (DCAT-AP) standard.
 The DCAT-AP standard is presented since it allows users to describe their datasets
 in a consistent and standardised way, making it easier for others to discover and
 reuse the data. Likewise, DCAT-AP is a flexible and extensible vocabulary, allowing
 users to define their own terms and properties in addition to the standard terms
 and properties defined in the vocabulary
Multimodal fusion for assessing functional segregation and integration in the human brain
Creators: name: Yoldemir, Burak
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Mental and neurological diseases account for a major portion of the global disease burden. Neuroimaging has greatly contributed to the characterization and understanding of such disorders by enabling noninvasive investigation of the human brain. Among neuroimaging technologies, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) stands out as a relatively widespread and safe imaging modality that can be sensitized to capture different aspects of the brain. Historically, MRI studies have investigated anatomy or function of the brain in isolation, which created an apparent dichotomy. In this thesis, we aim to bridge this divide using novel multimodal techniques. In particular, we present techniques to reconcile information regarding anatomical and functional connectivity (AC and FC) in the brain estimated from diffusion MRI (dMRI) and functional MRI (fMRI) data, respectively. Our first contribution is to show that the consistency between AC and FC is understated when standard analysis methods are used. We illustrate how the estimation of AC can be improved to increase the AC-FC consistency, which facilitates a more meaningful fusion of these two types of information. Specifically, we propose to improve AC estimation by the use of a dictionary based super-resolution approach to increase the spatial resolution in dMRI, reconstructing the white matter tracts using global tractography instead of conventional streamline tractography, and quantifying AC using fiber count as the metric. Our second contribution is to develop novel multimodal approaches for investigating functional segregation and integration in the human brain. We show that task fMRI data can be fused with dMRI and resting state fMRI data to mitigate the effects of noise and deconfound the effects of spontaneous fluctuations in brain activity on activation detection. Further, we show that sensitivity in unraveling the modular structure of the brain can be increased by fusing dMRI and fMRI data. Our results collectively suggest that combining dMRI and fMRI data outperforms classical unimodal analyses in understanding the brain's organization, bringing us one step closer to understanding the most complex organ in the human body.

I ritratti, datati poco dopo il rientro degli esuli in patria a seguito dell’editto di Alessandro (324 a.C.), sono infine messi in relazione all’atelier di Prassitele e dei figli.


Pausanias (2, 31, 7) remembers the statues of the noble Athenian ladies and their sons, refugees from Athens, in the agora of Troizen. The sculptural group evokes the Persian Wars, as was a common practice in the second half of the fourth century BC, and is related to the psephisma of Themistokles and the Against Athenogenes by Hyperides. The portraits, dated not long after the return of the exiles due to Alexander’s Decree (324 BC), shall be compared to the workshop of Praxiteles and his sons.

description: The study of opinions, their formation and change, is one of the defining topics addressed by social psychology, but in recent years other disciplines, like computer science and complexity, have tried to deal with this issue. Despite the flourishing of different models and theories in both fields, several key questions still remain unanswered. The understanding of how opinions change and the way they are affected by social influence are challenging issues requiring a thorough analysis of opinion per se but also of the way in which they travel between agents' minds and are modulated by these exchanges. To account for the two-faceted nature of opinions, which are mental entities undergoing complex social processes, we outline a preliminary model in which a cognitive theory of opinions is put forward and it is paired with a formal description of them and of their spreading among minds. Furthermore, investigating social influence also implies the necessity to account for the way in which people change their minds, as a consequence of interacting with other people, and the need to explain the higher or lower persistence of such changes.

description: Per tutto l’evo antico la ‘classe’ servile fu, per definizione, quella maggiormente esposta ad una violenza quotidiana in forme istituzionalmente codificate (basti pensare al trattamento durissimo riservato in ogni epoca della storia di Roma agli schiavi fuggitivi) e accettate da tutte le categorie parte integrante di una società già di suo fortemente sperequata. Il contributo si propone di indagare in che misura i provvedimenti normativi riconducibili agli imperatori della prima dinastia – e che le fonti interpretano come atti di humanitas nei confronti della popolazione servile – abbiano effettivamente concorso, se non a modificare l’ideologia della violenza sugli schiavi, quanto meno a mitigarla, tenendo nel dovuto conto la differenza tra schiavitù domestica urbana e schiavitù rurale in termini di strumenti coercitivi – fisici e psicologici – usati dai padroni sulla componente servile entro i suddetti quadri sociali.

Throughout the ancient age the slavish ‘class’ was, by definition, the most exposed to a quotidian violence in a variety of institutionally coded forms (it is the case of the very harsh treatment reserved to fugitivi in all periods of Roman history) and consequently accepted by all categories which are integral part of a society already strongly unequal. This contribution aims to investigate the measure in which the legislative provisions that could be attributed to Emperors of the first dynasty and interpreted from the sources as acts displaying a kind of humanitas towards the slavish population had effectively contributed, if not to modify the ideology of violence on slaves, a least to seek of mitigate it, taking due account of the difference between domestic urban and rural slavery in terms of coercive instruments – physical as well as psychological – used by the masters on the slavish component of the above social communities.

description: Maxwell's equations are formulated in arbitrary moving frames by means of tetrad fields, which are interpreted as reference frames adapted to observers in space-time. We assume the existence of a general distribution of charges and currents in an inertial frame. Tetrad fields are used to project the electromagnetic fields and sources on accelerated frames. The purpose is to study several configurations of fields and observers that in the literature are understood as paradoxes. For instance, are the two situations, (i) an accelerated charge in an inertial frame, and (ii) a charge at rest in an inertial frame described from the perspective of an accelerated frame, physically equivalent? Is the electromagnetic radiation the same in both frames? Normally in the analysis of these paradoxes the electromagnetic fields are transformed to (uniformly) accelerated frames by means of a coordinate transformation of the Faraday tensor. In the present approach coordinate and frame transformations are disentangled, and the electromagnetic field in the accelerated frame is obtained through a frame (local Lorentz) transformation. Consequently the fields in the inertial and accelerated frames are described in the same coordinate system. This feature allows the investigation of paradoxes such as the one mentioned above.

description: La vicenda della Moschea di Reggio è estremamente breve, risolvendosi nell’arco di 4 anni. Studiare il contesto in cui viene costruita e la sua funzione fino al drammatico epilogo nel 956 permette tuttavia di cogliere uno spaccato formidabile del Mediterraneo altomedievale e delle tensioni che lo attraversavano. Oltre allo scontro tra la compagine araba e l’Impero Bizantino, è possibile riconoscere qui – per la prima volta sul territorio italiano – i segni di una contrapposizione tra due anime dell’Islam: quello della tradizione sunnita, rappresentato dall’Emirato di Cordova, e quello prorompente dei Fatimidi, sostenitori di una dottrina sciita estremamente radicale. La città di Reggio, così prossima alle coste siciliane da restare coinvolta nei rivolgimenti politici sull’Isola, si presenta come luogo di incontro e di scontro tra interessi delle varie potenze dell’epoca.

The story of the Reggio Mosque is extremely brief, resolving in the short space of 4 years. Studying the context in which it was built and it functioned until the dramatic epilogue in 956, however, allows us to grasp a extraordinary insight into the early-medieval Mediterranean and the tensions that crossed it. In addition to the clash between the Arab forces and the Byzantine Empire, it is possible to recognize here - for the first time in the Italian peninsula - the evidence of a contrast between two souls of Islam: that of the Sunni tradition, represented by the Emirate of Cordoba, and that of the rampant Fatimids, followers of an extremely radical Shiite doctrine. The city of Reggio, so close to the Sicilian coast as to remain involved in the political upheavals in the island, presents itself as a place of meeting and confrontation between the interests of the various powers of the time.

At maximum light the Si II and Mg II lines indicated expansion velocities of 14,000 km/sec, while Si III and S II showed velocities of 9,000 km/sec There is also evidence for some unburned carbon at 12,000 km/sec. SN 2001ay exhibited a decline-rate parameter Delta m_15(B) = 0.68 \pm 0.05 mag; this and the B-band photometry at t > +25 d past maximum make it the most slowly declining Type Ia SN yet discovered. Three of four super-Chandrasekhar-mass candidates have decline rates almost as slow as this. After correction for Galactic and host-galaxy extinction, SN 2001ay had M_B = -19.19 and M_V = -19.17 mag at maximum light; thus, it was not overluminous in optical bands. In near-infrared bands it was overluminous only at the 2-sigma level at most. For a rise time of 18 d (explosion to bolometric maximum) the implied Ni-56 yield was (0.58 \pm 0.15)/alpha M_Sun, with alpha = L_max/E_Ni probably in the range 1.0 to 1.2. The Ni-56 yield is comparable to that of many Type Ia supernovae. The "normal" Ni-56 yield and the typical peak optical brightness suggest that the very broad optical light curve is explained by the trapping of the gamma rays in the inner regions.

description: Nel 1347 l’arcivescovo di Monreale, Michele Spinola, invitò Angelo Senisio a rifondare un antico cenobio dedicato a san Martino. La nuova abbazia acquisì presto un importante ruolo politico ed ottenne vasti possedimenti territoriali nelle zone di Palermo e di Trapani. In questo articolo, grazie alla consultazione di registri contabili e atti notarili, vengono ricostruiti i rapporti economici tra i benedettini di San Martino de Scalis e gli ebrei siciliani, in particolare prestazioni lavorative e relazioni commerciali.
In 1347 the archbishop of Monreale, Michele Spinola, invited Angelo Senisio to re-establish an ancient monastery dedicated to San Martino. The new abbey soon acquired an important political role. Moreover, it obtained new and vast territorial possessions in the areas of Palermo and Trapani. In this article, thanks to the consultation of accounting records and notarial deeds, the economic relations between the Benedictines of San Martino de Scalis and the Sicilian Jews are reconstructed. Particular attention is paid to the provision of work services and trade.

description: Circumstellar discs of Be stars are thought to be formed from material ejected from a fast-spinning central star. This material possesses large amounts of angular momentum and settles in a quasi-Keplerian orbit around the star. This simple description outlines the basic issues that a successful disc theory must address: 1) What is the mechanism responsible for the mass ejection? 2) What is the final configuration of the material? 3) How the disc grows? With the very high angular resolution that can be achieved with modern interferometers operating in the optical and infrared we can now resolve the photosphere and immediate vicinity of nearby Be stars. Those observations are able to provide very stringent tests for our ideas about the physical processes operating in those objects. This paper discusses the basic hydrodynamics of viscous decretion discs around Be stars. The model predictions are quantitatively compared to observations, demonstrating that the viscous decretion scenario is currently the most viable theory to explain the discs around Be stars.

description: We use localization techniques to study several duality proposals for supersymmetric gauge theories in three dimensions reminiscent of Seiberg duality. We compare the partition functions of dual theories deformed by real mass terms and FI parameters. We find that Seiberg-like duality for N=3 Chern-Simons gauge theories proposed by Giveon and Kutasov holds on the level of partition functions and is closely related to level-rank duality in pure Chern-Simons theory. We also clarify the relationship between the Giveon-Kutasov duality and a duality in theories of fractional M2 branes and propose a generalization of the latter. Our analysis also confirms previously known results concerning decoupled free sectors in N=4 gauge theories realized by monopole operators.

Examining the relationship between physical fitness and performance in developmental figure skaters
Creators: name: Taylor, Regan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between physical fitness and skill related fitness compared to on ice performance of developmental figure skaters. Methods: A total of ten basic off-ice assessments were administered, including skill-related physical fitness tests of agility (T-Test, Hexagon Test), and balance (Stork Stand); as well as health-related physical fitness tests, including: flexibility (Seated Reach), muscular endurance (the One Minute Sit-Ups, One Minute Modified Push-Ups, the Plank), muscular strength (Hand Grip), and power (the Timed Tuck Jumps, Vertical Jump). On-ice assessments will include a speed test and acceleration test to determine skating ability, and assessments of four elements; the axel jump, the back spin, camel spin, and the sit spin. Subjects: Twenty eight developmental female figure skaters between the ages of 6 and 14 who competed in the STAR 2, STAR 3, STAR 4, or STAR 5 categories as outlined by the BC Section Competition criteria (part of the Learn To Train Stage of the Skate Canada Long Term Athlete Development Model) were recruited. Conclusions: Skaters in the axel group (n=9) performed significantly better in physical fitness tests of balance, muscular strength (vertical jump), muscular endurance (timed tuck jumps, sit-ups, plank), and flexibility (seated reach). As well, the axel skaters were stronger skaters (1-lap speed test and spin tests). Regression analysis showed correlations between vertical jump and the on-ice speed test, the 30-second timed tuck jumps and acceleration as well as the T-test for agility and the 1-lap speed test.

description: Starting from December 2004, a program for the monitoring of intraday variable sources at a frequency of 5 GHz was performed at the Urumqi Observatory. The analysis of the variability characteristics of the flat-spectrum radio source AO 0235+164 revealed the existence of an annual cycle in the variability amplitude. This appears to correlate with the solar elongation of the source. A thorough analysis of the results of the MASIV IDV survey --- which provides the variability characteristics of a large sample of compact radio sources --- confirms that there is a small but detectable component of the observed fractional modulation which increases with decreasing solar elongation. We discuss the hypothesis that the phenomenon is related to interplanetary scintillation.

description: The shock response of two-dimensional model high explosive crystals with various arrangements of circular voids is explored. We simulate a piston impact using molecular dynamics simulations with a Reactive Empirical Bond Order (REBO) model potential for a sub-micron, sub-ns exothermic reaction in a diatomic molecular solid. In square lattices of voids (of equal size), reducing the size of the voids or increasing the porosity while holding the other parameter fixed causes the hotspots to consume the material more quickly and detonation to occur sooner and at lower piston velocities. The early time behavior is seen to follow a very simple ignition and growth model. The hotspots are seen to collectively develop a broad pressure wave (a sonic, diffuse deflagration front) that, upon merging with the lead shock, transforms it into a detonation. The reaction yields produced by triangular lattices are not significantly different. With random void arrangements, the mean time to detonation is 15.5\% larger than with the square lattice; the standard deviation of detonation delays is just 5.1%.

description: The study of opinions, their formation and change, is one of the defining topics addressed by social psychology, but in recent years other disciplines, as computer science and complexity, have addressed this challenge. Despite the flourishing of different models and theories in both fields, several key questions still remain unanswered. The aim of this paper is to challenge the current theories on opinion by putting forward a cognitively grounded model where opinions are described as specific mental representations whose main properties are put forward. A comparison with reputation will be also presented.

description: We use pulsed inductive microwave magnetometry to study the precessional magnetization dynamics of the free layer in CoFeB/MgO/CoFeB based magnetic tunnelling junction stacks with varying MgO barrier thickness. From the field dependence of the precession frequency we are able to derive the uniaxial anisotropy energy and the exchange coupling between the free and the pinned layer. Furthermore the field dependence of the effective damping parameter is derived. Below a certain threshold barrier thickness we observe an increased effective damping for antiparallel orientation of free and pinned layer which would inhibit reversible low current density spin torque magnetization reversal. Such inductive measurements, in combination with wafer probe station based magneto transport experiments, allow a fast determination of the optimum tunnel barrier thickness range for spin torque memory applications in a lithography free process.

Numerical holographic condensed matter
Creators: name: Smyth, Darren
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: This thesis studies strongly coupled phases of condensed matter physics using a combination of gauge-gravity correspondence and numerical methods. We examine holographic models of the condensed matter phenomena of: vortex formation in the spontaneously broken phase of gauge theories, spontaneous breaking of translational invariance by periodic modulation, properties of (non-)Fermi liquids, and metal-insulator transitions in systems with sourced periodic modulation. In Chapter 2, we formulate a criterion for the existence of a Higgs phase based on the existence of bulk solitons. This criteria is applicable when the microscopic details of the gauge theory are unknown. We demonstrate the existence of such solitons in both top-down and bottom-up examples of holographic theories and examine their thermodynamics. In Chapter 3, we construct inhomogeneous, asymptotically Anti-deSitter Space (ADS) black hole solutions in Einstein-Maxwell-axion theory corresponding to the spontaneous breaking of translational invariance and the formation of striped order in the dual 2 + 1 dimensional Quantum Field Theory (QFT). We investigate the phase structure as function of parameters. In Chapter 4, we continue the study begun in Chapter 3. On domains of both fixed and variable wavenumber, we find a second order phase transition to the striped solution in each of the grand canonical, canonical and microcanonical ensembles. We also examine the properties of the bulk black hole solutions. In Chapter 5, we consider a phenomenological model whose bosonic sector is governed by the DBI action, and whose charged sector is purely fermionic. In this model, we demonstrate the existence of a compact worldvolume embedding, stabilized by a Fermi surface on a D-brane. We study the bulk and dual QFT thermodynamic and transport properties. In Chapter 6, we analyze low energy thermo-electric transport in a class of bottom-up, holographic models in which translation invariance has been broken. As a function of our choice of couplings, which parameterize this class of theories, we obtain (i) coherent metallic, or (ii) insulating, or (iii) incoherent metallic phases. We use a combination of analytical and numerical techniques to study the Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC) transport properties of these phases.

description: We discuss a general treatment based on the mean field plus random phase approximation (RPA) for the evaluation of subsystem entropies and negativities in ground states of spin systems. The approach leads to a tractable general method, becoming straightforward in translationally invariant arrays. The method is examined in arrays of arbitrary spin with $XYZ$ couplings of general range in a uniform transverse field, where the RPA around both the normal and parity breaking mean field state, together with parity restoration effects, are discussed in detail. In the case of a uniformly connected $XYZ$ array of arbitrary size, the method is shown to provide simple analytic expressions for the entanglement entropy of any global bipartition, as well as for the negativity between any two subsystems, which become exact for large spin. The limit case of a spin $s$ pair is also discussed.
