description: Using the Belle detector we study the characteristics of beam collisions at the KEKB 3.5 GeV $e^+$ on 8 GeV $e^-$ asymmetric energy collider. We investigate the collision timing {\tip} and its $z$-coordinate along the beam axis {\zip} as a function of the position of the colliding bunch in a beam train. The various {\tip} and {\zip} behaviors observed by Belle are attributed to beam loading effects in the radio frequency cavities that accelerate the beams with a beam abort gap. We report these results in detail and discuss the prospects for the SuperKEKB collider.

description: This article examines the representational strategies of the world city in the age of the Anthropocene by concentrating the discussion on the notion of monumentality. By introducing the concept of ‘world city monumentality’, which can be defined as the projected anticipatory representation of the city’s desired global future embodied in the skyscraper, we attempt at illuminating on how monumentality is contested by its counter-practices, as significant artistic forms of experiential engagement in public space. To do so, we trace a critique of a specific world city monument, the Azrieli Center in Tel Aviv, Israel, by presenting our site-specific fictive intervention titled “Double Feature” (2021) as a case study.

title: Diversity in causes of mortality in the measurement of population health in Scotland
Creators: name: McMonagle, Ciaran
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2023

description: Measuring diversity in causes of mortality offers an insight into variation in health outcomes within a population. Increased diversity in causes of mortality indicates that deaths have occurred from more varied causes. This may increase diagnostic uncertainty and means health care, promotion, and prevention resources must be spread wider and these sectors must adopt a more comprehensive approach. Diversity in mortality causes has not been measured in Scotland, despite poor health outcomes relative to European comparators. Further, limited previous examination exists of differences in mortality cause diversity in sub‐national population groups, divided by socioeconomic or geographic factors. Health inequalities in Scotland are large and understanding tendencies in mortality cause diversity may be valuable to addressing differential health patterns. Mortality cause diversity has been shown to be associated with increasing life expectancy and falling lifespan variation over time across nations. This relationship has not been examined between different subpopulations within a nation. Finally, the effect of the COVID‐19 pandemic on diversity in causes of mortality has not been examined and this analysis may be a valuable tool to assess the ongoing impact caused by this unprecedented upheaval in population health.

In this thesis I calculate diversity in underlying and contributory causes of mortality as well as lifespan diversity using observed data and distributions extracted from multiple‐decrement life tables. I propose novel methods for assessing the contribution of causes of mortality to diversity and a novel method for the measurement of lifespan diversity. I find that diversity in underlying and contributory causes of mortality increased in Scotland from 2001 to the mid 2010s when trends diverge. Trends in variation are shown to be similar across subpopulations, meaning despite socioeconomic or geographic differences reductions in the proportion of individuals who die of the most common causes and a redistribution to a wider variety of causes has occurred at similar rates. Confirming previous research, diversity in causes of mortality is found to increase as the population of Scotland lived longer and to more equal ages. However, higher diversity in causes of mortality is not necessarily found among subpopulations who live to older and more equal ages. I suggest falling mortality rates associated with the most common causes, especially at premature ages, have driven increasing diversity in causes of mortality and life expectancy and falling lifespan diversity. Diversity in causes of mortality, with COVID‐19 deaths are excluded from analysis, is shown to have remained consistent with trends in previous years during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Monitoring diversity in mortality causes has the potential to expand knowledge around patterns of mortality and to provide valuable insight into pressures on public health and healthcare systems.

Theorizing Eco-Dystopia: Science Fiction, the Anthropocene, and the Limits of Catastrophic Imagery
Creators: name: Malvestio, Marco
Publisher: name: European Journal of Creative Practices in Cities and Landscapes
Year: 2022

description: This essay considers a peculiar kind of science-fictional writing with environmental concerns that pivots on the imagery of catastrophe and blends the dystopian and the post-apocalyptic traditions. This sub-genre is known as eco-dystopia, which, I argue, merges the catastrophic imagery of the post-apocalyptic tradition with the consequential mode of dystopia. Eco-dystopias rely on the imagery of catastrophe to warn the public about the dangers and the consequences of the Anthropocene. However, such imagery presents strong limitations when used to dramatize and conceptualize the Anthropocene, as it is modeled on catastrophes that have little in common with the current ecological crisis.

Study of the content, sources, and development of Malaysian foreign policy, 1957-1975
Creators: name: Saravanamuttu, Jayaratnam
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Foreign policy studies of Third World countries in general have been either very narrow in their focus, such as those based on the nonalignment theme, or comprehensive without being historically dynamic in their analysis, such as the efforts of the comparative scholars of foreign policy. Other studies have focused primarily on the idiosyncracies of Third World leaders in explaining foreign policy. This study is aimed at correcting these deficiencies through the study of the content, sources and development of Malaysian foreign policy across different issue-areas and over three historical periods spanning the years 1957 - 1975. By means of an a priori dynamic framework of foreign policy analysis, this study indeed found Malaysia to have had definite foreign policy objectives, postures, strategies and actions across the issue-areas of Defence and Security, Development and Trade, and International Co-operation and Diplomacy in the three historical periods of the study. Malaysian foreign policy also exhibited a plurality of sources, the potency of which varied significantly over the three historical periods and across the different issue-areas, demonstrating that the view that foreign policy formulation is elitist may be overstated. In substantive terms Malaysian foreign policy has shifted from a pro-Western, anti-communist posture with its concomitant strategies and actions in the first period to a neutralist posture with its concomitant policy outputs by the third period. Thus, there has been two stable periods of foreign policy, namely 1957 - 1963 and 1970 - 1975, and an unstable, transitional period, 1964 - 1969, marking the development of Malaysian foreign policy from one extreme of the East-West political continuum to somewhere in its mid-point. The change in Malaysian foreign policy, among other things, demonstrates the significance of internal and external feedback effects acting upon extant policies. Finally, the study shows that Malaysian foreign policy is explained not merely by ranking the "relative potency" of the various sources of foreign policy but more importantly through the insightful and logical relation of these various sources to the different policy outputs in a holistic manner.

title: Public vs. Private Accounting: A Guide to Choosing Which Field is Best for You
Creators: name: Nelson, Katelyn
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Usually the big question among accounting students is whether to work in tax or audit. However, there is a third option. Accounting students may find a career in private accounting a better fit for them. This thesis is designed to discuss the aspects of both private and public accounting, and the opportunities available in each field. Unfortunately, it is difficult to determine which field of accounting will provide a student's desired lifestyle and will lead the student to his or her ultimate career goal. It was easier for me to decide which field I wanted to pursue after experiencing public and private accounting through internships. The fields of private and public accounting are vastly different. These fields have different education requirements, certifications, working environments, day-to-day schedules, and future career opportunities. In addition to these factors, recruiting for a public accounting firm requires extra involvement, including networking events, summer leadership programs, and internships. Looking back on my experiences through the recruiting process, I hope to provide useful tips for meeting professionals, as well as provide guidance on what to expect during a summer leadership experience and internship. As I was searching for private accounting opportunities, I noticed most positions required previous work experience. I found several opportunities while finishing school to gain the experience employers require once students graduate. I hope that sharing these potential opportunities will encourage students to take advantage of the work experiences available to them while they are still in school. I also hope to clarify, for future students, the requirements for the CMA and CPA certifications, and the value these certifications provide.
I enjoyed both my internship experiences and the opportunities they provided for me to learn about public and private accounting. I hope that by comparing the differences I noticed in these two fields, I can help future accounting students determine which field of accounting they want to pursue and identify the steps necessary for them to reach their ultimate career goals.

title: Alabama and Mississippi: A Case Study in School Trust Land Management
Creators: name: Maynes, John Morgan
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2015

description: School trust lands are an enormous, yet often overlooked resource for public education. In some states, they have the potential to fund public education in an entirely tax-free manner, and they contribute tax-free funding for schools in many states. Before the Constitution of the United States was written, Congress established a system for granting lands to support common schools. However, there is a gap in the scholarly discourse about this legacy. Souder and Fairfax (1996) noted in their comprehensive work on school trust lands that “other than noting the initial grant to Ohio, most texts ignore the remaining details surrounding school trust lands.” Few know that 134 million acres were eventually granted for the benefit of public schools. Perhaps even fewer know that only one third (42 million acres) of the original lands are still held in trust for schools. The other two-thirds of school trust lands were either sold off or are caught up in legal proceedings, making them unavailable to produce revenue for schools. As acres of school trust lands are sold off instead of leased, school trust resources deteriorate. Unfortunately, many of the factors that have contributed to the loss of school trust lands in some states are threatening school trust resources in states that have not yet lost their school trust lands.
This paper defines school trust resources as any lands, products derived from lands, or funds derived from the use of lands granted for educational purposes. School trust lands is a term that refers to lands dedicated by the United States Congress, or in rare cases by state governments, for the support of public schools. These lands are often referred to in law and research literature as school lands or sixteenth section lands (referring to the surveyed section that was set aside in every township). Permanent school funds is a term that refers to funds derived from the sale, lease, or rent of school trust lands or the sale of products derived from these lands. In general, each state has one permanent school fund and states use a variety of official titles for their permanent school funds.

description: The non-classical Major Histocompatibility Complex class II (MHCII) protein H2-M edits peptides bound to conventional MHCII in favor of stable peptide/MHCII (p/MHCII) complexes. Here we show that H2-M deficiency affects B-1 cell survival, reduces cell renewal capacity and alters immunoglobulin repertoire, allowing selection of cells specific for highly abundant epitopes, but not low-frequency epitopes. H2-M deficient B-1 cells had shorter CDR3 length, higher content of positively charged amino acids, shorter junctional regions, less mutation frequency and a skewed clonal distribution. Mechanistically, H2-M loss reduces plasma membrane p/MHCII association with B cell receptors (BCR) on B-1 cells and diminishes integrated BCR signal strength, a key determinant of B-1 cell selection, maturation, and maintenance. Thus H2-M:MHCII interaction serves as a cell-intrinsic regulator of BCR signaling and influences the selection of the B-1 cell clonal repertoire.
title: Fear and Media: An Examination of Serial Killers in 19th Century America
Creators: name: Johnson, Tatyanna
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: This research is focused on two serial killers in the late 1800s and comparing the amount of media coverage for each case. They are H.H. Holmes who was killing in Chicago, Illinois and the Servant Girl Annihilator in Austin, Texas. Holmes was caught and convicted, while the Servant Girl Annihilator was not. This research shows that this was due, in majority, to the amount of media coverage for both cases. The Servant Girl Annihilator had minimal media coverage, mostly because of racial issues at the time, and he was never caught. In contrast, Holmes was convicted for insurance fraud and his case was covered nationwide, which caused people in Chicago to report Holmes's odd behavior in the city to authorities. The argument of this research is that media coverage impacted the level of police investigation, which was why the Servant Girl Annihilator was not caught, while Holmes was. The sources that have been used for this research are newspaper articles and articles from psychological and historical journals.
title: The Reorganizational Problem of the School Districts in Cache Valley
Creators: name: Phippen, David P.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: Some years ago, in 1972 to be exact, I was a student senator at Sky View High School. Every once in a while we would be called together to discuss issues that affected our school. One particular session dealt with school population. Six years ago we were experiencing a lot of overcrowding in the school auditorium. The authorities at that time were concerned, and were asking our opinions, as student leaders, on the issue.
During that meeting, we learned that the school district owned land above Hyrum, and eventually a high school for the south end of the valley was to be built. This struck me as odd because Hyrum was the location of the old South Cache High School. Furthermore, Sky View is located in the north of the valley in Smithfield. Smithfield is close, three or four miles to Richmond, where the old North Cache High School had been. It seemed to me then, that we were returning to the old p re-consolidation days (1963).

description: We review numerical results for models with gauge group Sp(2N), discussing the glueball spectrum in the large-N limit, the quenched meson spectrum of Sp(4) with Dirac fermions in the fundamental and in the antisymmetric representation and the Sp(4) gauge model with two dynamical Dirac flavours. We also present preliminary results for the meson spectrum in the Sp(4) gauge theory with two fundamental and three antisymmetric Dirac flavours. The main motivation of our programme is to test whether this latter model is viable as a realisation of Higgs compositeness via the pseudo Nambu Goldstone mechanism and at the same time can provide partial top compositeness. In this respect, we report and briefly discuss preliminary results for the mass of the composite baryon made with two fundamental and one antisymmetric fermion (chimera baryon), whose physical properties are highly constrained if partial top compositeness is at work. Our investigation shows that a fully non-perturbative study of Higgs compositeness and partial top compositeness in Sp(4) is within reach with our current lattice methodology.

Stimulation-induced epileptogenesis : kindling of spontaneous motor seizures in rats
Creators: name: Rovner, Louis Irving
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: When periodic electrical stimulation is applied to any of a number of brain sites there can be a progressive development and intensification of elicited motor seizures. This has been termed the kindling effect. Although it has been repeatedly suggested that the kindling paradigm could provide a valuable experimental model of clinical epileptogenesis, it was only recently found that kindling would eventually lead to a bona fide epileptic syndrome in rats, cats and baboons, characterized by spontaneous motor seizures. The purpose of the present study was to systematically describe the development of the epileptic syndrome in kindled rats. In the two experiments animals were stimulated about 15 times per week for several months. Kindling progressed as others have reported, although with continued stimulations there were changes in the elicited seizures which had not been previously described. Almost all of the animals, regardless of whether they were stimulated in the amygdala, hippocampus, or entorhinal cortex, eventually displayed spontaneous motor seizures before the termination of the experiment. These seizures were found to persist in some animals for at least 7 months. Thus, it appears that the kindling paradigm may provide a valuable addition to the methods available for the experimental investigation of epilepsy and its genesis.

We demonstrate equivalent correspondence between the post-Newtonian parameter $γ$ and the parameter appearing in the equation of null geodysic in massive scalar-tensor theories. We show that massive scalar-tensor theories can be distinguished from general relativity based on the predictions of Shapiro time delay. All calculations are presented using hybrid metric-Palatini f(R)-gravity as an example. The expression for Shapiro time delay in hybrid f(R)-gravity is obtained for the first time.

True wayfaring Christians: form and meaning in the Overlander narratives
Creators: name: Sawadsky, Joanne Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The basic contention of this thesis is that the journals and memoirs of a famous Canadian expedition—that of the "Overlanders" to the Cariboo gold fields in 1862—have literary as well as historical value. The accounts may be read as autobiographies, or as classic adventure stories (romances). The first chapter seeks to define the criteria by which we "judge literary worth in these two forms, and indicate in;: general terms how the Overlander narratives fit into both genres. The second chapter is concerned with dramatic structure in the narratives. The plot, reduced to its simplest form, is seen to be essentially that of the traditional folk tale ("naive" romance), in which heroes ride off in search of fabulous treasure, and on the way must overcome a variety of staggering difficulties. Although the outline of the plot in the Overlander accounts was supplied by actual events, the authors' ability to recognize the drama and reproduce it effectively is evidence of their creative power. The third chapter examines the diction, sentence structure, and imagery of each of the narrators. Their artistry and originality is perhaps more apparent in their style than in any other aspect of their writing. The fourth and fifth chapters concentrate on autobiographical meaning in the accounts. This meaning is developed as the travellers are shown striving to maintain harmony among themselves, and struggling to make progress in a sometimes hostile wilderness. All the narrators were Christian believers. Their religious vision was reaffirmed in the course of the trek, and broadened and deepened by their experiences. This vision and the process of its expansion, re-created by the authors, provide unity and a sense of progression for their works. In the final chapter, an attempt has been made to place the Overlander narratives in the context of the Canadian literary tradition. They belong to a large body of early travellers' and explorers' narratives which are full of fascinating details and curious anecdotes, and possess drama, poetry, and psychological interest, but which are just beginning to be recognized as genuine and valuable imaginative literature. Even after the fairly extensive analysis which can be made in a study of this length, it does not seem possible to state exactly how much literary value exists in works which are as little known as these, especially since what is true . of one or several may not be true of all the narratives. This examination does indicate, however, that these accounts taken as a whole possess both form and meaning and will give almost any reader pleasure on many levels.
Creature Formanti e Creanti – Oltre il Tempo e il Vuoto
Creators: name: PsykoSapiens
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: “Hic et nunc” esplora la tensione tra la finitezza dell’essere umano e l’infinità delle possibilità che esso genera. L’uomo, pur essendo limitato nel corpo, crea mondi senza confini, in un atto di espansione continua che lo porta a interrogarsi sulla natura stessa dell’esistenza.

Il testo decostruisce il concetto di tempo, rivelandolo come un costrutto mentale utile a dare ordine all’accadere, ma estraneo alla vera esperienza dell’essere. L’uomo non abita il tempo: lo fabbrica, lo piega, lo manipola, mentre il vuoto – lungi dall’essere un nemico – si configura come matrice creativa, uno spazio di potenzialità inesauribile.

L’esistere, dunque, è una lotta per significare, una metamorfosi incessante in cui il soggetto non si limita a vivere, ma forma e si forma nel tentativo di suturare la propria mancanza ontologica. Ogni creazione è un atto di resistenza al nulla, eppure ogni nuova forma porta con sé un frammento ulteriore di vuoto.

L’uomo si pensa finito, ma agisce come se fosse eterno, riscrivendo incessantemente la propria storia e attraversando il tempo senza esserne vincolato. Non è destinato a trovare risposte definitive, bensì a generare domande, a esplorare i confini dell’indeterminato e a lasciarsi divorare dall’incompiutezza.

Il cerchio non si chiude: la sua essenza sta nel dispiegarsi continuo, nell’essere-creare come atto perpetuo, nell’essere progetto aperto e mai concluso.

description: Subspace clustering techniques have shown promise in hyperspectral image segmentation. The fundamental assumption in subspace clustering is that the samples belonging to different clusters/segments lie in separable subspaces. What if this condition does not hold? We surmise that even if the condition does not hold in the original space, the data may be nonlinearly transformed to a space where it will be separable into subspaces. In this work, we propose a transformation based on the tenets of deep dictionary learning (DDL). In particular, we incorporate the sparse subspace clustering (SSC) loss in the DDL formulation. Here DDL nonlinearly transforms the data such that the transformed representation (of the data) is separable into subspaces. We show that the proposed formulation improves over the state-of-the-art deep learning techniques in hyperspectral image clustering.

description: Apical membrane antigen-1 (AMA1) is a conserved malarial vaccine candidate essential for the formation of tight junctions with the rhoptry neck protein (RON) complex, enabling Plasmodium parasites to invade human erythrocytes, hepatocytes, and mosquito salivary glands. Despite its critical role, extensive surface polymorphisms in AMA1 have led to strain-specific protection, limiting the success of AMA1-based interventions beyond initial clinical trials. Here, we identify an i-body, a humanised single-domain antibody-like molecule that recognises a conserved pan-species conformational epitope in AMA1 with low nanomolar affinity and inhibits the binding of the RON2 ligand to AMA1. Structural characterisation indicates that the WD34 i-body epitope spans the centre of the conserved hydrophobic cleft in AMA1, where interacting residues are highly conserved among all Plasmodium species. Furthermore, we show that WD34 inhibits merozoite invasion of erythrocytes by multiple Plasmodium species and hepatocyte invasion by P. falciparum sporozoites. Despite a short half-life in mouse serum, we demonstrate that WD34 transiently suppressed P. berghei infections in female BALB/c mice. Our work describes the first pan-species AMA1 biologic with inhibitory activity against multiple life-cycle stages of Plasmodium. With improved pharmacokinetic characteristics, WD34 could be a potential immunotherapy against multiple species of Plasmodium.

description: In this article we relate word and subgroup growth to certain functions that arise in the quantification of residual finiteness. One consequence of this endeavor is a pair of results that equate the nilpotency of a finitely generated group with the asymptotic behavior of these functions. The second half of this article investigates the asymptotic behavior of two of these functions. Our main result in this arena resolves a question of Bogopolski from the Kourovka notebook concerning lower bounds of one of these functions for nonabelian free groups.

title: The Mechanics of Low Orbiting Satellites Implications in Communication
Creators: name: Brostrom, Lane
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: Low orbiting satellite communication networks will be competing with geosynchronous satellites for a share of the communications market. In world-wide communications that do not require immediate real time transmissions, low orbiting satellites are competitive with geosynchronous satellites because the system is reliable and low in cost.
Since satellites are a clear example of Newtonian laws, the distinct patterns they make in their orbiting process are predictable. Newton's law states that an object will remain in uniform motion unless acted upon by a force: a satellite remains in motion around the earth because there is no atmosphere to slow it down. A satellite stays in orbit because the pull of gravity inward is balanced by centrifugal energy outward. The rate which a satellite orbits the earth and the lifetime of the satellite depend on its altitude. Low orbiting satellites trace unique paths over the surface of the earth -- the satellite is accessible for communication if the path o the satellite comes within 1500 kilometers of a ground station.
Unless there are 50 to 80 low orbiting satellites, the system is not useful for exclusive real time communication and thus requires a different operating structure. The low orbiting satellite will use a combination of two modes for communication: the transponder mode, and the store and forward mode.

description: This work presents a new Visual Basic 6.0 application for estimating the fractal dimension of images, based on an optimized version of the box-counting algorithm. Following the attempt to separate the real information from noise, we considered also the family of all band-pass filters with the same band-width (specified as parameter). The fractal dimension can be thus represented as a function of the pixel color code. The program was used for the study of paintings cracks, as an additional tool which can help the critic to decide if an artistic work is original or not. In its second version, the application was extended for working also with csv files and three-dimensional images.

On the formation of hot Neptunes and super-Earths

description: The discovery of short-period Neptune-mass objects, now including the remarkable system HD69830 (Lovis et al. 2006) with three Neptune analogues, raises difficult questions about current formation models which may require a global treatment of the protoplanetary disc. Several formation scenarios have been proposed, where most combine the canonical oligarchic picture of core accretion with type I migration (e.g. Terquem & Papaloizou 2007) and planetary atmosphere physics (e.g. Alibert et al. 2006). To date, published studies have considered only a small number of progenitors at late times. This leaves unaddressed important questions about the global viability of the models. We seek to determine whether the most natural model -- namely, taking the canonical oligarchic picture of core accretion and introducing type I migration -- can succeed in forming objects of 10 Earth masses and more in the innermost parts of the disc. This problem is investigated using both traditional semianalytic methods for modelling oligarchic growth as well as a new parallel multi-zone N-body code designed specifically for treating planetary formation problems with large dynamic range (McNeil & Nelson 2009). We find that it is extremely difficult for oligarchic tidal migration models to reproduce the observed distribution. Even under many variations of the typical parameters, we form no objects of mass greater than 8 Earth masses. By comparison, it is relatively straightforward to form icy super-Earths. We conclude that either the initial conditions of the protoplanetary discs in short-period Neptune systems were substantially different from the standard disc models we used, or there is important physics yet to be understood.

description: We investigate the many-body level density of gas of non-interacting fermions. We determine its behavior as a function of the temperature and the number of particles. As the temperature increases, and beyond the usual Sommerfeld expansion that describes the degenerate gas behavior, corrections due to a finite number of particles lead to Gumbel-like contributions. We discuss connections with the partition problem in number theory, extreme value statistics as well as differences with respect to the Bose gas.

Modeling of cotunneling in quantum dot systems

description: Transport through nanosystems is treated within the second order von Neumann approach. This approach bridges the gap between rate equations which neglect level broadening and cotunneling, and the transmission formalism, which is essentially based on the single-particle picture thereby treating many-particle interactions on an approximate level. Here we provide an alternative presentation of the method in order to clarify the underlying structure. Furthermore we apply it to the problem of cotunneling. It is shown that both elastic and inelastic cotunneling can be described quantitatively, while the transmission approach with a mean-field treatment of the interaction provides an artificial bistability.

description: We study the decay of survival probability at quantum phase transitions (QPT). The semiclassical theory is found applicable in the vicinities of critical points with infinite degeneracy. The theory predicts a power law decay of the survival probability for relatively long times in systems with d=1 and an exponential decay in systems with sufficiently large d, where d is the degrees of freedom of the underlying classical dynamics. The semiclassical predictions are checked numerically in four models.
