description: The goal of this paper is to derive estimates of eigenvalue moments for Dirichlet Laplacians and Schrödinger operators in regions having infinite cusps which are geometrically nontrivial being either curved or twisted; we are going to show how those geometric properties enter the eigenvalue bounds. The obtained inequalities reflect the essentially one-dimensional character of the cusps and we give an example showing that in an intermediate energy region they can be much stronger than the usual semiclassical bounds.

title: The Irish Party System : A Criticism of Sartori's Contradictory Approach
Creators: name: Gatley, David Alan
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 1979

description: The idea for writing this dissertation came to me after reading Giovanni Sartori's book,
"Parties and Party Systems". In reading this book it soon became obvious to me that
Sartori's ideas about Eire (The Irish Republic) are, to say the least, contradictory.
The purpose then of this dissertation was to attempt to test how well Sartori's model of
party systems could be applied to the Irish case. That is, to answer the question: does
the conceptual framework devised by Sartori for studying party systems adequately
describe the party system in Eire?
Sartori outlines his analysis of party systems in two sources: his book, 'Parties and Party
Systems; A Framework for Analysts.' New York 1976, Chapter 5, and in Typology of
Party Systems - Proposals for Improvement in Rokkan and Allardt, eds., 'Mass Politics;
Studies in Political Sociology', Free Press 1970. All my references to Sartori in this
dissertation are taken from the former work.
In carrying out my research I devised a questionnaire which I sent to Irish T.D's
(Teachta DÃ¡la, members of the Dail) and party candidates at the last (1977) general
election in Eire. The detailed results of this survey need not concern us in the main body
of this dissertation, but the interested reader will find a detailed breakdown of the
results in the appendix at the end of this work.
In layout the dissertation takes the following form: Chapter One briefly explains the
model of party systems, in competitive polities, devised by Sartori; Chapter Two is an
introduction to the party system in Eire, and a brief look at the contradictory manner in
which Sartori analyses the Irish party system; Chapter Three looks at the Irish party
system as an example of limited pluralism; Chapter Four concerns itself with a
discussion of moderate pluralism - one of the two categories into which Sartori places
Eire; Chapter Five is a brief interruption in the narrative necessitated by the need to
outline my research findings; Chapter Six, drawing on the survey data, seeks to see
whether Eire is a case of moderate pluralism; Chapter Seven looks at Eire as a case of
predominant pluralism; Chapter Eight examines Sartori's contention that Eire does not
have a two-party system. Finally, in the conclusion, the divergent threads of Sartori's
approaches are brought together in an attempt to examine whether Eire's party system
can be said to conform to the various types of party system hypothesised by Sartori.
Competing notions of teacher professionalism
Creators: name: Wyper, Dan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: While public school teachers in British Columbia are almost universally referred to as professionals, the meaning of teacher professionalism is not easily established nor widely agreed upon. In this study, I will argue that this lack of consensus is a major factor contributing to the ongoing political struggle over the control of public education in this province. To that end, I have attempted to develop an understanding of teacher professionalism and the differing and often competing ways in which it is conceptualized by various stakeholders in British Columbia’s public education system. Using a conceptual framework based on the academic literature addressing professionalism in general and teacher professionalism more specifically, this study will critically analyze the perspectives of these stakeholders on multiple dimensions of teacher professionalism such as teacher autonomy and teacher regulation. Using case study methodology and critical discourse analysis, I address the following questions: (1) what discourses are competing in framing the central issues that define the current debate around teacher professionalism?, and (2) how do different stakeholders in the public education system in British Columbia use a particular discourse to frame central issues in the debate surrounding teacher professionalism, and for what reasons?

Domain understanding in agile information system development : the role of conceptual modeling
Creators: name: Wufka, Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Agile development methods such as Extreme Programming or Scrum typically do not prescribe specific conceptual modeling practices. In fact, the agile paradigm generally discourages extensive use of documentation and models that are not directly related to or used to generate code. However, anecdotal empirical evidence suggests that conceptual modeling might be beneficial in agile software development, and that a wide range of conceptual modeling methods might be used by agile practitioners. This work studies the relationship between conceptual modeling and agile development in three parts. Firstly, based on the existing literature, it examines theoretically which role conceptual modeling might play in agile development. In order to do this, it defines an operationalizable conceptualization of agility that is independent of specific development methods. In a second step, the role that conceptual modeling practices play in current information system (IS) development is studied in a survey of practitioners. This survey also serves to validate a measurement instrument based on the conceptualization of agility. Finally, the impact of conceptual modeling on agile development is studied in detail in an exploratory lab experiment. The survey finds that developers who are more agile tend to use a wider range of conceptual modeling practices than less agile developers, and that they face fewer difficulties with domain understanding. The proposed measurement instrument of agility correlates well with self-reported agility, which provides some evidence for its validity and reliability. The results of the experiment indicate that the use of conceptual modeling does not reduce agility, but that it might in fact increase it. It finds that subjects use conceptual models to improve their understanding of the domain in a number of different ways. These different uses, an interesting result by themselves, are a potential starting point for future research, which could focus on a subset of them. Additional important results of this work include a validated measurement instrument of agility that is based on a development method independent conceptualization of agility, and an improved understanding of the use of conceptual modeling in current agile development practice.

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: An action on order ideals of posets considered by Fon-Der-Flaass is analyzed in the case of posets arising from minuscule representations of complex simple Lie algebras. For these minuscule posets, it is shown that the Fon-Der-Flaass action exhibits the cyclic sieving phenomenon, as defined by Reiner, Stanton, and White. A uniform proof is given by investigation of a bijection due to Stembridge between order ideals of minuscule posets and fully commutative Weyl group elements. This bijection is proven to be equivariant with respect to a conjugate of the Fon-Der-Flaass action and an arbitrary Coxeter element. If $P$ is a minuscule poset, it is shown that the Fon-Der-Flaass action on order ideals of the Cartesian product $P \times [2]$ also exhibits the cyclic sieving phenomenon, only the proof is by appeal to the classification of minuscule posets and is not uniform.

Metapopulation dynamics on the brink of extinction

description: We analyse metapopulation dynamics in terms of an individual-based, stochastic model of a finite metapopulation. We suggest a new approach, using the number of patches in the population as a large parameter. This approach does not require that the number of individuals per patch is large, neither is it necessary to assume a time-scale separation between local population dynamics and migration. Our approach makes it possible to accurately describe the dynamics of metapopulations consisting of many small patches. We focus on metapopulations on the brink of extinction. We estimate the time to extinction and describe the most likely path to extinction. We find that the logarithm of the time to extinction is proportional to the product of two vectors, a vector characterising the distribution of patch population sizes in the quasi-steady state, and a vector -- related to Fisher's reproduction vector -- that quantifies the sensitivity of the quasi-steady state distribution to demographic fluctuations. We compare our analytical results to stochastic simulations of the model, and discuss the range of validity of the analytical expressions. By identifying fast and slow degrees of freedom in the metapopulation dynamics, we show that the dynamics of large metapopulations close to extinction is approximately described by a deterministic equation originally proposed by Levins (1969). We were able to compute the rates in Levins' equation in terms of the parameters of our stochastic, individual-based model. It turns out, however, that the interpretation of the dynamical variable depends strongly on the intrinsic growth rate and carrying capacity of the patches. Only when the growth rate and the carrying capacity are large does the slow variable correspond to the number of patches, as envisaged by Levins. Last but not least, we discuss how our findings relate to other, widely used metapopulation models.

description: We compute the magnetization of graphene in a magnetic field, taking into account for generality the possibility of a mass gap. We concentrate on the physical regime where quantum oscillations are not observed due to the effect of the temperature or disorder and show that the magnetization exhibits non-linear behaviour as a function of the applied field, reflecting the strong non-analyticity of the two-dimensional effective action of Dirac electrons. The necessary values of the magnetic field to observe this non-linearity vary from a few Teslas for very clean suspended samples to 20 - 30 Teslas for good samples on substrate. In the light of these calculations, we discuss the effects of disorder and interactions as well as the experimental conditions under which the predictions can be observed.

description: We theoretically investigate the interplay between charge ordering and magnetic states in quasi-one-dimensional molecular conductors TMTTF$_2X$, motivated by the observation of a complex variation of competing and/or coexisting phases. We show that the ferroelectric-type charge order increases two-dimensional antiferromagnetic spin correlation, whereas in the one-dimensional regime two different spin-Peierls states are stabilized. By using first-principles band calculations for the estimation for the transfer integrals and comparing our results with the experiments, we identify the controlling parameters in the experimental phase diagram to be not only the interchain transfer integrals but also the amplitude of the charge order.

In this paper we study certificates that consist of one or more unary and/or binary relations on the nodes, in the case of dense graphs. Using the theory of graph limits, we prove that nondeterministically testable properties are also deterministically testable.

description: We discuss reservoir induced phase transitions of lattice fermions in the non-equilibrium steady state (NESS) of an open system with local reservoirs. These systems may become critical in the sense of a diverging correlation length upon changing the reservoir coupling. We here show that the transition to a critical state is associated with a vanishing gap in the damping spectrum. It is shown that although in linear systems there can be a transition to a critical state there is no reservoir-induced quantum phase transition between distinct phases with non-vanishing damping gap. We derive the static and dynamical critical exponents corresponding to the transition to a critical state and show that their possible values, defining universality classes of reservoir-induced phase transitions are determined by the coupling range of the independent local reservoirs. If a reservoir couples to N neighboring lattice sites, the critical exponent can assume all fractions from 1 to 1/(N - 1).

Essays in competition and price determination in diverse markets
Creators: name: Jing, Yan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This thesis studies competition and price determination in three distinctly different markets. Chapter 2 carries out an empirical analysis of the effect of a non-uniform pricing strategy on box office revenues in the theatrical movie market. Using a rich and unique dataset of the Hong Kong market, a nested Principles of Differentiation (nested PD) demand model is estimated and the estimation results are used to simulate theaters' profits under the differential and uniform pricing strategies. The main finding is that differential pricing dominates the uniform pricing (demand effect) but gains from the differential pricing policy are limited due to intensified competition (competition effect). Chapter 3 examines the relationship between prices and market structure in geographically isolated gasoline markets that are exposed to large demand shocks. The temporal variation in market size provides instrumental variables to overcome the classical endogeneity bias in the standard price-concentration regression. There is evidence of local market power in the studied markets. Additionally, the high margins that characterize concentrated markets dissipate quickly with the increase of the number of gas stations. The results also suggest that the regression analysis that does not account for the endogeneity between entry and prices will significantly underestimate the effect of market concentration on prices. Chapter 4 studies a public sector problem in which a government faces the choice of using public-private partnerships (PPP) or more traditional public procurement approaches to procure public services. Specifically, a basic trade-off associated with PPPs is modeled: while PPPs marshal the power of competitive markets, they involve long-term contracts that may prove relatively inflexible. It is shown that the optimal choice between PPPs and public procurement depends on factors including the likelihood that changes will be necessary, the productivity of non-contractible effort exerted by private sector partners, the costs of switching, the difference between first-best and second-best projects, and the bargaining power of governments vis-à-vis private parties. It also shows that the optimal choice may depend on whether the government’s objective is to maximize “value for money” (i.e., deliver the right project at the lowest cost to taxpayers) or to maximize total social surplus.

description: Some analytical and numerical results are presented for pattern formation properties associated with novel types of reaction–diffusion (RD) systems that involve the coupling of bulk diffusion in the interior of a multi-dimensional spatial domain to nonlinear processes that occur either on the domain boundary or within localized compartments that are confined within the domain. The class of bulk-membrane system considered herein is derived from an asymptotic analysis in the limit of small thickness of a thin domain that surrounds the bulk medium. When the bulk domain is a two-dimensional disk, a weakly nonlinear analysis is used to characterize Turing and Hopf bifurcations that can arise from the linearization around a radially symmetric, but spatially non-uniform, steady-state of the bulk-membrane system. In a singularly perturbed limit, the existence and linear stability of localized membrane-bound spike patterns is analysed for a Gierer–Meinhardt activator-inhibitor model that includes bulk coupling. Finally, the emergence of collective intracellular oscillations is studied for a class of PDE-ODE bulk-cell model in a bounded two-dimensional domain that contains spatially localized, but dynamically active, circular cells that are coupled through a linear bulk diffusion field. Applications of such coupled bulk-membrane or bulk-cell systems to some biological systems are outlined, and some open problems in this area are discussed.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Recent progress and open frontiers in Turing’s theory of morphogenesis’.

description: Quaternion-Kaehler four-manifolds, or equivalently anti-self-dual Einstein manifolds, are locally determined by one scalar function subject to Przanowski's equation. Using twistorial methods we construct a Lax Pair for Przanowski's equation, confirming its integrability. The Lee form of a compatible local complex structure, which one can always find, gives rise to a conformally invariant differential operator acting on sections of a line bundle. Special cases of the associated generalised Laplace operator are the conformal Laplacian and the linearised Przanowski operator. We provide recursion relations that allow us to construct cohomology classes on twistor space from solutions of the generalised Laplace equation. Conversely, we can extract such solutions from twistor cohomology, leading to a contour integral formula for perturbations of Przanowski's function. Finally, we illuminate the relationship between Przanowski's function and the twistor description, in particular we construct an algorithm to retrieve Przanowski's function from twistor data in the double-fibration picture. Using a number of examples, we demonstrate this procedure explicitly.

description: The measurement of the average depth of the shower maximum is the most commonly used observable for the possible inference of the primary cosmic-ray mass composition. Currently, different experimental Collaborations process and present their data not in the same way, leading to problems in the comparability and interpretation of the results. Whereas is expected to be proportional to in ideal conditions, we demonstrate that the finite field-of-view of fluorescence telescopes plus the attenuation in the atmosphere can introduce a non-linearity into this relation, which is specific for each particular detector setup.

description: We study the screening length of a quark-antiquark pair moving in a hot plasma living in two sphere $S^2$ manifold using AdS/CFT correspondence where the background metric is four dimensional Schwarzschild-AdS black hole. The geodesic solution of the string ends at the boundary is given by a stationary motion in the equatorial plane as such the separation length $L$ of quark-antiquark pair is parallel to the angular velocity $ω$. The screening length and the bound energy are computed numerically using Mathematica. We find that the plots are bounded from below by some functions related to the momentum transfer $P_c$ of the drag force configuration. We compare the result by computing the screening length in the quark-antiquark reference frame where the gravity dual are "Boost-AdS" and Kerr-AdS black holes. Finding relations of the parameters of both black holes, we argue that the relation between mass parameters $M_{Sch}$ of the Schwarzschild-AdS black hole and $M_{Kerr}$ of the Kerr-AdS black hole in high temperature is given by $M_{Kerr}=M_{Sch}(1-a^2l^2)^{3/2}$, where $a$ is the angular momentum parameter.

description: The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of the relationship between ethical leadership and an employee’s work-related attitudes about, and behaviors for, their company. Using social learning theory, the authors examine how a manager’s ethical leadership influences the relationship between an employee’s job satisfaction and organizational commitment. This research uses structural equation modeling (SEM) to investigate the direct and moderated relationships among these variables using data from 250-employees working in United States-based companies. Results suggest that an employee’s perceptions of ethical leadership moderate the relationship between their job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Implications for managers and directions for future research are provided.
