description: We present 12CO(1->0) observations of 45 giant molecular clouds in M33 made with the BIMA array. The observations have a linear resolution of 20 pc, sufficient to measure the sizes of most GMCs in the sample. We place upper limits on the specific angular momentum of the GMCs and find the observed values to be nearly an order of magnitude below the values predicted from simple formation mechanisms. The velocity gradients across neighboring, high-mass GMCs appear preferentially aligned on scales less than 500 pc. If the clouds are rotating, 40% are counter-rotating with respect to the galaxy. GMCs require a braking mechanism if they form from the large scale radial accumulation of gas. These observations suggest that molecular clouds form locally out of atomic gas with significant braking by magnetic fields to dissipate the angular momentum imparted by galactic shear. The observed GMCs share basic properties with those found in the Galaxy such as similar masses, sizes, and linewidths as well as a constant surface density of 120 M_sun pc^{-2}. The size-linewidth relationship follows Delta V ~ r^{0.45\pm 0.02}, consistent with that found in the Galaxy. The cloud virial masses imply that the CO-to-H_2 conversion factor has a value of 2 X 10^20 H2 cm^-2/(K km/s) and does not change significantly over the disk of M33 despite a change of 0.8 dex in the metallicity.

St. Catherine of Alexandria as Preacher in Masolino's Castiglione Chapel
Creators: name: Froonjian, Sarah
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis examines the Castiglione Chapel frescoes in the church of San Clemente in Rome. Commissioned by Cardinal Branda Castiglione and executed by Masolino da Panicale between 1428 and 1431, the chapel features a complex iconographic program. Notably, the figure of St. Catherine is given an unusually privileged location within the chapel compared to her male counterparts and is shown as an authoritative preacher rather than, conventionally, as a simply virgin martyr. The San Clemente fresco cycle discards scenes like St. Catherine’s mystic marriage to Christ in favor of moments from her vita, such as the Disputation, which emphasize her learnedness, eloquence, and agency as a preacher. This thesis will take up the question of this innovative iconography and its gendered relationship to the male patron, arguing that Branda Castiglione utilized the distinctive image of St. Catherine’s female authority to promote his own learnedness and political influence. In doing so, St. Catherine of Alexandria is considered within her hagiography, the history of female preaching, the papacy, and the life of Cardinal Castiglione.

description: In Mexico, agriculture’s main environmental problems are related to water resources, deforestation and soil erosion. These problems are more acute in arid or semiarid regions such as in the state of Zacatecas. Environmental management systems (EMS) can be an alternate means for improving environmental conditions. In this study, factors that determine willingness to adopt an EMS in the vegetable production units of the state of Zacatecas were identified. We also analysed views on sustainability and production practices oriented toward environmental management and care of natural resources, as well as drivers and barriers to EMS adoption. Factors determining EMS adoption were level of education, awareness of the importance of caring for and protecting natural resources, application of agricultural practices oriented toward protecting the environment, and ignorance of environmental problems.

description: This paper discusses two main themes. First, it investigates the formation of a spatiotemporal cognitive map (mental image) of a road network in travelers memory, which entails the travelers global conceptual understanding of congestion or the degree of crowding of the network. Second, it tries to investigate how latent learning of travelers from previous experiences shapes parts of the mental image, even for the parts of the network with which the travelers are unfamiliar. An experiment of route choice experiences was conducted among 90 participants in order to gain insight into the formation of a cognitive map and latent learning. In this experiment, the following independent variables are connected to the formation of a mental image of the network and the quality of the generalization of the unfamiliar parts of the network: (i) dispersion of the links travel time throughout the network, (ii) number of trips the traveler makes, (iii) travelers gender, (iv) travelers driving experiences, (v) travelers natural level of optimism or pessimism, (vi) salient or noticeable features on the network, and (vii) the presence of traffic signals. Several nonparametric (distribution-free) tests are employed to test the hypotheses. The results indicate that apart from the travelers gender and salient or noticeable features on the network, the considered factors significantly affect the degree of the recognizability of the network elements by travelers.

description: The wettability of the rock surface in porous media has an effect on the constitutive saturation functions that govern capillary pressure and relative permeability. The term wettability alteration refers to the change of this property over time by processes such as CO$_2$ interactions with the rock. In this work, we perform numerical simulations considering a two-phase two-component flow model including time-dependent wettability alteration in a two-dimensional aquifer-caprock system using the open porous media framework. Particularly, we study the spatial distribution over time of injected CO$_2$ into the aquifer neglecting and including wettability alteration effects. The numerical simulations show that wettability alteration on the caprock results in a loss of containment; however, the CO$_2$ front into the caprock advances very slow since the unexposed caprock along the vertical migration path also needs to be changed by the slow wettability alteration process. The simulations also show that wettability alteration on the aquifer results in an enhancement of storage efficiency; this since the CO$_2$ front migrates more slowly and the capillary entry pressure decreases after wettability alteration.

description: Three-dimensional turbulence simulations are used to show that the turbulent root mean square velocity is an upper bound of the speed of turbulent diffusion. There is a close analogy to magnetic diffusion where the maximum diffusion speed is the speed of light. Mathematically, this is caused by the inclusion of the Faraday displacement current which ensures that causality is obeyed. In turbulent diffusion, a term similar to the displacement current emerges quite naturally when the minimal tau approximation is used. Simulations confirm the presence of such a term and give a quantitative measure of its relative importance.

description: We present the first study of the Abelian-projected gluonic-excitation energies for the static quark-antiquark (Q$\bar{\rm Q}$) system in SU(3) lattice QCD at the quenched level, using a $32^4$ lattice at $β= 6.0$. We investigate ground-state and three excited-state Q$\bar{\rm Q}$ potentials, using smeared link variables on the lattice. We find universal Abelian dominance for the quark confinement force of the excited-state Q$\bar{\rm Q}$ potentials as well as the ground-state potential. Remarkably, in spite of the excitation phenomenon in QCD, we find Abelian dominance for the first gluonic-excitation energy of about 1 GeV at long distances in the maximally Abelian gauge. On the other hand, no Abelian dominance is observed for higher gluonic-excitation energies even at long distances. This suggests that there is some threshold between 1 and 2 GeV for the applicable excitation-energy region of Abelian dominance. Also, we find that Abelian projection significantly reduces the short-distance $1/r$-like behavior in gluonic-excitation energies.

description: We study bubbling phenomena of anti-self-dual instantons on $\H^2\times§$, where $§$ is a closed Riemann surface. The restriction of the instanton to each boundary slice $\{z\}\times§$, $z\in\pd\H^2$ is required to lie in a Lagrangian submanifold of the moduli space of flat connections over $§$ that arises from the restrictions to the boundary of flat connections on a handle body. We establish an energy quantization result for sequences of instantons with bounded energy near $\{0\}\times§$: Either their curvature is in fact uniformly bounded in a neighbourhood of that slice (leading to a compactness result) or there is a concentration of some minimum quantum of energy. We moreover obtain a removable singularity result for instantons with finite energy in a punctured neighbourhood of $\{0\}\times§$. This completes the analytic foundations for the construction of an instanton Floer homology for 3-manifolds with boundary. This Floer homology is an intermediate object in the program proposed by Salamon for the proof of the Atiyah-Floer conjecture for homology-3-spheres. In the interior case, for anti-self-instantons on $\R^2\times§$, our methods provide a new approach to the removable singularity theorem by Sibner-Sibner for codimension 2 singularities with a holonomy condition.

This paper examines factors that contribute to museum innovation, as well as literature on incubators, accelerators, and coworking spaces, looks at examples of startup programs in museums, and presents in-depth case studies.

Further study suggests the roubustness of this spin filter.

description: An anisotropic damage model is employed in order to simulate the fracture pattern of Bohus granite under quasi-static spherical indentation loading. The chosen damage description is added to the previously employed Drucker-Prager plasticity model with variable dilation angle. The resulting constitutive model is implemented to simulate the behavior of Bohus granite under indentation up to the load capacity of the material. The initial fragmentation, corresponding to the first small load-drop in the force-penetration curve, is likely due to the high radial tensile stress state at or close to the contact boundary. Both predicted fracture pattern and force-penetration results from the numerical simulation are compared to experimental data and a good agreement is found. The variability in tensile strength of the material is included in the chosen damage model by taking advantage of Weibull statistics. In this work, it is suggested that indentation test results by themselves may be used to calibrate the statistical distribution of tensile strength at small size scales such as in indentation applications.

description: X-ray single particle imaging involves the measurement of a large number of noisy diffraction patterns of isolated objects in random orientations. The missing information about these patterns is then computationally recovered in order to obtain a three-dimensional structure of the particle. While the method has promised to deliver room temperature structures at near-atomic resolution, there have been significant experimental hurdles in collecting data of sufficient quality and quantity to achieve this goal. This paper describes two ways to modify the conventional methodology which significantly ease the experimental challenges, at the cost of additional computational complexity in the reconstruction procedure. Both these methods involve the use of holographic reference objects in close proximity to the sample of interest, whose structure can be described with only a few parameters. A reconstruction algorithm to recover the unknown degrees of freedom is also proposed and tested with toy-model simulations.

description: Be X-ray binaries (BeXRBs) consist of rapidly rotating Be stars with neutron star companions accreting from the circumstellar emission disk. We compare the observed population of BeXRBs in the Small Magellanic Cloud with simulated populations of BeXRB-like systems produced with the COMPAS population synthesis code. We focus on the apparently higher minimal mass of Be stars in BeXRBs than in the Be population at large. Assuming that BeXRBs experienced only dynamically stable mass transfer, their mass distribution suggests that at least 30% of the mass donated by the progenitor of the neutron star is typically accreted by the B-star companion. We expect these results to affect predictions for the population of double compact object mergers. A convolution of the simulated BeXRB population with the star formation history of the Small Magellanic Cloud shows that the excess of BeXRBs is most likely explained by this galaxy's burst of star formation around 20--40 Myr ago.

Tamara de Lempicka's Strategic Conservatism

description: Tamara de Lempicka’s seemingly pious and traditionalist period of the late 1920s and 1930s, exemplified by paintings such as La Polonaise (1933) and The Communicant (1928), appears to be a sharp departure from the Polish émigré’s celebrated erotic nudes of the early 1920s. This thesis contextualizes this stylistic and thematic shift in de Lempicka’s oeuvre within the increasingly fraught, nationalistic, and politically conservative climate of interwar Paris. I argue that de Lempicka adapted her approach to painting to overcome the increased challenges this environment posed to foreign women artists. Her strategy, which relied upon visual ambiguity and a manipulation of conservative taste, secured her financial and professional artistic success. I situate de Lempicka’s transition to traditional subjects and a classical revivalist style as part of a larger cultural trend by discussing her work in relation to her artistic milieu and to the “return to order,” a widespread artistic catalyst of the period. By analyzing the similarities between de Lempicka’s works and those of her contemporaries, including her teacher Maurice Denis and an organization of women artists known as the FAM (Femmes Artistes Modernes), I consider the influences behind de Lempicka’s strategic conservatism. I discuss de Lempicka’s adaptation of the classicizing elements and conservative connotations of the “return to order.” Her inventive use of a “return to order” style allowed her to blur the lines between religious and erotic ecstasy in her work, thereby extending her commitment to transgressive subjects and themes while simultaneously appealing to conservative tastes.

The dramatic and precise dependence of the relaxations on n_s and T strongly suggests (a) the transition to a glassy phase as T->0, and (b) the Coulomb interactions between 2D electrons play a dominant role in the observed out-of-equilibrium dynamics.

description: Machine Learning (ML) inspired algorithms provide a flexible set of tools for analyzing and forecasting chaotic dynamical systems. We here analyze the performance of one algorithm for the prediction of extreme events in the two-dimensional Hénon map at the classical parameters. The task is to determine whether a trajectory will exceed a threshold after a set number of time steps into the future. This task has a geometric interpretation within the dynamics of the Hénon map, which we use to gauge the performance of the neural networks that are used in this work. We analyze the dependence of the success rate of the ML models on the prediction time $T$ , the number of training samples $N_T$ and the size of the network $N_p$. We observe that in order to maintain a certain accuracy, $N_T \propto exp(2 h T)$ and $N_p \propto exp(hT)$, where $h$ is the topological entropy. Similar relations between the intrinsic chaotic properties of the dynamics and ML parameters might be observable in other systems as well.

This thesis pulls from qualitative interviews to answer the question, “How do addicted people seeking services in Carroll County, Maryland experience the multiple temporalities placed on them through treatment requirements, drug court requirements, public transportation, poverty, and the needs of physiological drug dependency?” Paying attention to the ways people navigate time based demands of physical addiction, treatment requirements, and drug court requirements, alongside temporal demands of daily life, reveals new insights into the lived-experience of the addicted. This thesis argues that opioid agonist treatment clinics and drug courts use time as a linear measurement of a person’s progress towards socially constructed ideas of normalization. This practice of linear measurement veils the socially constructed temporal demands that addicted people must navigate on a daily basis. This results in individuals becoming stuck and unable to meet institutional requirements, thus exacerbating their continued suffering from structural and institutional inequalities.

description: We fix exactly and uniquely the infrared structure of the full gluon propagator in QCD, not solving explicitly the corresponding dynamical equation of motion. By construction, this structure is an infinite sum over all possible severe (i.e., more singular than $1/q^2$) infrared singularities. It reflects the zero momentum modes enhancement effect in the true QCD vacuum, which is due to the self-interaction of massless gluons. It existence automatically exhibits a characteristic mass (the so-called mass gap). It is responsible for the scale of nonperturbative dynamics in the true QCD ground state. The theory of distributions, complemented by the dimensional regularization method, allows one to put the severe infrared singularities under the firm mathematical control. By an infrared renormalization of a mass gap only, the infrared structure of the full gluon propagator is exactly reduced to the simplest severe infrared singularity, the famous $(q^2)^{-2}$. Thus we have exactly established the interaction between quarks (concerning its pure gluon (i.e., nonlinear) contribution) up to its unimportant perturbative part. This also makes it possible for the first time to formulate the gluon confinement criterion and intrinsically nonperturbative phase in QCD in a manifestly gauge-invariant ways.

Particle-size-dependent acoustophoretic motion and depletion of micro- and nanoparticles at long time scales

description: We present three-dimensional measurements of size-dependent acoustophoretic motion of microparticles with diameters from 4.8 um down to 0.5 um suspended in either homogeneous or inhomogeneous fluids inside a glass-silicon microchannel and exposed to a standing ultrasound wave. To study the cross-over from radiation force dominated to streaming dominated motion as the particle size is decreased, we extend previous studies to long time scales, where the particles smaller than the cross-over size move over distances comparable to the channel width. We observe a particle-size-dependent particle depletion at late times for the particles smaller than the cross-over size. The mechanisms behind this depletion in homogeneous fluids are rationalized by numerical simulations which take the Brownian motion into account. Experimentally, the particle trajectories in inhomogeneous fluids show focusing in the bulk of the microchannel at early times, even for the particles below the critical size, which clearly demonstrates the potential to manipulate submicrometer particles.

Power factor improvement
Creators: name: Houshmand, Nazanin
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: This project investigates power factor improving equipment for the following buildings on UBC campus: Life Science, Biology West, Chemistry Physics, Forest Science and Michael Smith. My objective throughout this project was to write a Microsoft Excel program that would be able to calculate the capacitor values needed to improve the power factor, and increase the life span of the transformer due to the addition of the equipment. Additionally, the program enables users to calculate the amount of yearly savings, based on the installation of the capacitors and the savings resulting by the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, given the real power as well as the power factor. This report will discuss the different aspects of the project, such as the equipment and methodology, and the calculations and results. In the end, I was able to complete my goal of creating a Microsoft Excel file that will calculate all the necessary information for future projects as well as recommending corrective equipment for each building. The Microsoft Excel program can easily be extended to include calculations of value of money and the possible repair cost.

Nitrogen Overabundance: Globular Cluster and Halo Formation
Creators: name: Li, Yong
name: Burstein, David
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Halo globular clusters pose four succinct issues that must be solved in any scenario of their formation: single-age, single metallicity stellar populations; a lower limit ([Fe/H] ~ -2.3) to their average metallicity; comprising only 1% of the stellar halo mass, and being among the oldest stars in our Galaxy. New spectra are presented of Galactic stars and integrated spectra of Galactic globular clusters which extend to 3250 angstroms. These spectra show show that the most metal-poor and among the best-studied Galactic globular clusters show strong NH3360 absorption, even though their spectral energy distributions in the near-UV are dominated by blue horizontal branch, AF-type stars. These strong NH features must be coming from the main sequence stars in these clusters. These new data are combined with existing data on the wide range of carbon and nitrogen abundance in very metal-poor ([Fe/H] < -3.5) halo giant and dwarf stars, together with recent models of zero-metal star formation, to make a strawman scenario for globular cluster formation that can reproduce three of the above four issues, and well as related two of the three issues pertaining to nitrogen overabundance. This strawman proposal makes observational and theoretical predictions that are testable, needing specific help from the modelers to understand all of the elemental constraints on globular cluster and halo formation.

SOFONISBA ANGUISSOLA’S BERNARDINO CAMPI PAINTING SOFONISBA ANGUISSOLA AND THE IDEAL CORTIGIANA
Creators: name: Sandberg, Claire E.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Italian Renaissance artist Sofonisba Anguissola is well-known for the array of self-portraits she painted during her early career. Through her self-portraits created between 1548 and 1559, Anguissola constructed her identity as a virtuous young noblewoman and skilled artist. The key to Anguissola’s portraiture was her adaptation of the ideas prescribed by humanist Baldassar Castiglione in his famous text The Courtier in order to depict herself as the ideal female courtier. Anguissola’s self-fashioning reached its pinnacle with her 1559 self-portrait Bernardino Campi Painting Sofonisba Anguissola, which was among the last works Anguissola completed before she was invited to join the Spanish court of Philip II as a lady-in-waiting-cum-painter. This thesis examines the means by which Anguissola strategically shaped her identity for a court position in her 1559 portrait. I argue she utilized accepted principles for 16th century noble portraiture and costuming, the secondary figure of her former painting teacher, and courtly wit as described by Castiglione, to portray herself as the ideal noblewoman and to firmly secure her position as the first professional female “noble artist” at court.
A novel mathematical model of heterogeneous cell proliferation

description: We present a novel mathematical model of heterogeneous cell proliferation where the total population consists of a subpopulation of slow-proliferating cells and a subpopulation of fast-proliferating cells. The model incorporates two cellular processes, asymmetric cell division and induced switching between proliferative states, which are important determinants for the heterogeneity of a cell population. As motivation for our model we provide experimental data that illustrate the induced-switching process. Our model consists of a system of two coupled delay differential equations with distributed time delays and the cell densities as functions of time. The distributed delays are bounded and allow for the choice of delay kernel. We analyse the model and prove the non-negativity and boundedness of solutions, the existence and uniqueness of solutions, and the local stability characteristics of the equilibrium points. We find that the parameters for induced switching are bifurcation parameters and therefore determine the long-term behaviour of the model. Numerical simulations illustrate and support the theoretical findings, and demonstrate the primary importance of transient dynamics for understanding the evolution of many experimental cell populations.
