Iceberg Production and Characteristics at the Termini of Tidewater Glaciers around the Prince of Wales Icefield, Ellesmere Island

description: Since the 1960s, warming air and sea surface temperatures have led to decreasing sea ice extent and longer periods of open water in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA). Recent and rapid changes have also been observed in the ice discharge patterns of glaciers in this region. For example, Trinity and Wykeham glaciers on the Prince of Wales Icefield (POW), SE Ellesmere Island, contributed ~62% of total ice discharge to the ocean from the Canadian Arctic Archipelago in 2016, compared to ~22% in 2000. Given these changes, an important question is whether there is a relationship between changing sea ice conditions (e.g., extent, freeze up dates, break up dates) and iceberg production from these glaciers. This study used synthetic aperture radar (Radarsat-1, 2 and ALOS PALSAR) and optical (Landsat-7 and 8) imagery to identify iceberg plume events and sea ice break-up/freeze-up dates between 1997 and 2015 for 40 tidewater glaciers around the POW. Results show a clear relationship between the presence of sea ice and the production of icebergs from glaciers, with most events occurring during the open water season and fewer when sea ice was present. While there have not been clear increasing trends of icebergs produced from all glaciers in the POW, Trinity and Wykeham glaciers show that increases in detected iceberg plumes coincide with increases in previously measured glacier velocity and significant terminus retreat. Comparison to ocean temperature, surface air temperature from NCEP/NCAR reanalysis and tidal data showed no clear relationship with increased calving events, however further research into all factors is recommended. It is likely that there are several factors contributing to the spatial and temporal variability of iceberg production from the POW.

Anti-Hunger Policy in Brazil and Venezuela: A Comparative Historical Study
Creators: name: Bither-Terry, Russell
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: Hunger remains a problem in Latin America. This thesis compares the approaches taken by Brazil and Venezuela to combating it, focusing on each country's largest anti-hunger program: the Fome Zero program of conditional cash transfers to low income households in Brazil, and the Misión Mercal program of subsidized food in local public grocery stores in Venezuela. Both programs came about because Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Brazilian President Lula represent sectors of society long marginalized from the political process - the urban and rural poor who seek programs to reduce poverty and promote economic equality. Brazil chose its approach due to limited resources, the need to appease international capital, and a fragmented party system. Venezuela chose its approach because of greater access to revenue, reduced state capacity, and an ideology focused on developing an alternative to capitalism (the Endogenous Model) dependent on local social organization.

description: We determine the $2$-color Ramsey number of a {\em connected} triangle matching $c(nK_3)$ which is any connected graph containing $n$ vertex disjoint triangles. We obtain that $R(c(nK_3),c(nK_3))=7n-2$, somewhat larger than in the classical result of Burr, Erd\H os and Spencer for a triangle matching, $R(nK_3,nK_3)=5n$. The motivation is to determine the Ramsey number $R(C_n^2,C_n^2)$ of the square of a cycle $C_n^2$. We apply our Ramsey result for connected triangle matchings to show that the Ramsey number of an "almost" square of a cycle $C_n^{2,c}$ (a cycle of length $n$ in which all but at most a constant number $c$ of short diagonals are present) is asymptotic to $7n/3$.

description: As we come to a better understanding of the links between investment in cities, quality of life, and global competitiveness, it is becoming clearer that Canadian cities are on the verge of losing their competitive edge. Recent research indicates that municipal governments in Canada have far fewer levers to attract investment, fewer tools to finance local services, and limited access to federal and provincial funds. In the United States, cities have access to a fiscal tool kit that includes wide taxing powers and a broad array of government grants, loans, and tax incentives.

description: A search for heavy resonances decaying into a Higgs boson ($H$) and a new particle ($X$) is reported, utilizing 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ of proton--proton collision data at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV collected during 2015 and 2016 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The particle $X$ is assumed to decay to a pair of light quarks, and the fully hadronic final state $XH \rightarrow q\bar q'b\bar b$ is analysed. The search considers the regime of high $XH$ resonance masses, where the $X$ and $H$ bosons are both highly Lorentz-boosted and are each reconstructed using a single jet with large radius parameter. A two-dimensional phase space of $XH$ mass versus $X$ mass is scanned for evidence of a signal, over a range of $XH$ resonance mass values between 1 TeV and 4 TeV, and for $X$ particles with masses from 50 GeV to 1000 GeV. All search results are consistent with the expectations for the background due to Standard Model processes, and 95% CL upper limits are set, as a function of $XH$ and $X$ masses, on the production cross-section of the $XH$ resonance.

Although a few metal–iodosylarene adducts have been recently isolated and/or spectroscopically characterized, metal–iminoiodane adducts have remained elusive. Herein, we provide UV-Vis, EPR, NMR, XAS and DFT evidence supporting the formation of a metal–iminoiodane complex 2 and its scandium adduct 2-Sc. 2 and 2-Sc are reactive toward substrates in the hydrogen-atom and nitrene transfer reactions, which confirm their potential as active oxidants in metal-catalyzed oxidative transformations. Oxidation of para-substituted 2,6-di-tert-butylphenols by 2 and 2-Sc can occur by both coupled and uncoupled proton and electron transfer mechanisms; the exact mechanism depends on the nature of the para substituent.

Collisions between Dark Matter Confined High Velocity Clouds and Magnetized Galactic Disks: The Smith Cloud

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: The Galaxy's population of High Velocity Clouds (HVCs) may include a subpopulation that is confined by dark matter minihalos and falling toward the Galactic disk. We present the first magnetohydrodynamic simulational study of dark matter-dominated HVCs colliding with a weakly magnetized galactic disk. Our HVCs have baryonic masses of $5 \times 10^6\,$M$_{\odot}$ and dark matter minihalo masses of 0, $3 \times 10^8$, or $1 \times 10^9\,$M$_{\odot}$. They are modeled on the Smith Cloud, which is said to have collided with the disk 70 Myr ago. We find that, in all cases, the cloud's collision with the galactic disk creates a hole in the disk, completely disperses the cloud, and forms a bubble-shaped structure on the far side of the disk. In contrast, when present, the dark matter minihalo continues unimpeded along its trajectory. Later, as the minihalo passes through the bubble structure and galactic halo, it accretes up to $6.0 \times 10^5\,$M$_{\odot}$ in baryonic material, depending on the strengths of the magnetic field and minihalo gravity. These simulations suggest that if the Smith Cloud is associated with a dark matter minihalo and collided with the Galactic disk, the minihalo has accreted the observed gas. However, if the Smith Cloud is dark matter-free, it is on its first approach toward the disk. These simulations also suggest that the dark matter is most concentrated either at the head of the cloud or near the cloud, depending upon the strength of the magnetic field, a point that could inform indirect dark matter searches.

The Role of Norrie Disease Pseudoglioma (Ndp) in Cerebellar Development/Tumorigenesis and Its Relationship with the Sonic Hedgehog Pathway

description: Medulloblastoma (MB), a cancer of the cerebellum, is the most common solid tumor affecting children. In the cerebellum, Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) drives the proliferative expansion of granule neuron progenitors (GNP). These cells are located in the external granule layer (EGL) and are the cells of origin of Shh-MB. We recently identified Norrie Disease Pseudoglioma (Ndp) as a novel downstream target of Hh signaling in the developing retina. Ndp encodes an X-linked cysteine-rich secreted protein called Norrin, which is best known for its role in angiogenesis and blood brain barrier (BBB) maintenance in the developing retina and cerebellum, respectively. Norrin mediates this effect by binding to its receptor Frizzled4 (Fzd4) and co-receptors LRP5/6 and Tpsan12 to activate the canonical, β-catenin-dependent Wnt signaling pathway in endothelial cells (ECs). We detected the expression of Ndp and all required receptors in mouse GNPs and MB samples. To investigate a potential role for Ndp in Hh-driven MB, we genetically and pharmacologically inactivated Ndp/Fzd4 signaling in Ptch+/- mice (a mouse model for human Gorlin syndrome), which dramatically increased the incidence and reduced the latency of MB. This accelerated rate of tumorigenesis was caused by an increase in the number of preneoplastic lesions (PNLs), the precursor lesions to MB, and a faster conversion of these lesions to MB. We showed that Ndp mediates this increase in tumorigenesis by signaling through endothelial cell receptor Fzd4 to alter the GNP stroma, which is characterised by 5 major alterations: 1) activated angiogenic program, 2) open BBB, 3) aberrant deposition of extracellular matrix, 4) aberrant lymphocyte recruitment and 5) reduction in meningeal lymphatic vasculature. We propose that these stromal alterations are associated with a pro-tumor microenvironment that promotes DNA damage in GNPs and leads to enhanced lesion formation and progression towards MB. This research highlights 1) an unanticipated role for Ndp/Fzd4 signaling in Shh-MB initiation and progression, 2) a role for stromal signaling in the regulation of MB development and 3) a previously undescribed role for Ndp signaling in maintaining meningeal cerebellum lymphatic vessels.

Developing More Accurate Models of Tornados

Year: 2022

Abstract—Tornados are a major hazard and ever-present threat in many regions, with the potential to cause wide-scale loss of life and damage to infrastructure. Many researchers have attempted to develop tornado simulation techniques that amount to vortex generation with the goal of understanding the characteristics of tornado maintenance and intensity. Traditionally, these models comprise an analysis of wind-field data using Doppler radar collection, analytical tornado systems, laboratory experimental modelling, or the more recent numerical simulation techniques. These models, in application to wind engineering, focus on the tornado vortex without its parent storm and, as such, rely on artificial boundary conditions resulting in uniform, axisymmetric rotation about a vertical axis. The present work focused on developing superior tornado analysis techniques but first required generation of a method of tracking a tornado vortex centreline throughout its lifecycle, which corrects for the deficiencies in other vortex tracking methods when applied to tornados. The method identifies a clearly defined line for the vortex centre without need for extensive user-input. This method has been validated on the dataset of a tornado spawned from a supercell, in a meteorological numerical cloud model simulation at full-scale while being able to freely form and dissipate in a large, yet well-resolved, domain. Thus, quantitative assessment of a tornado wind-field may be anchored to an origin at the tornado centre that permits analysis of the discrepancy between the velocities of wind-fields generated by the previous models with those of a more physically realistic tornado. In future, analysis will be performed to understand how the in-flow at the simulation

domain boundaries can be used to generate more accurate tornado models. This will provide the optimum ratio of tornado radius to the size of its domain and a set of detailed boundary conditions to apply to tornado simulations without the need to perform computationally expensive simulations. The work described above has provided findings that outline the extent to which current models of tornados underestimate their destructive potential and how they may be improved to provide superior engineering analysis.

description: We study metrics on the shape space of curves that induce a prescribed splitting of the tangent bundle. More specifically, we consider reparametrization invariant metrics $G$ on the space $\operatorname{Imm}(S^1,\mathbb R^2)$ of parametrized regular curves. For many metrics the tangent space $T_c\operatorname{Imm}(S^1,\mathbb R^2)$ at each curve $c$ splits into vertical and horizontal components (with respect to the projection onto the shape space $B_i(S^1,\mathbb R^2)=\operatorname{Imm}(S^1,\mathbb R^2)/\operatorname{Diff}(S^1)$ of unparametrized curves and with respect to the metric $G$). In a previous article we characterized all metrics $G$ such that the induced splitting coincides with the natural splitting into normal and tangential parts. In these notes we extend this analysis to characterize all metrics that induce any prescribed splitting of the tangent bundle.

description: This paper establishes that generic linear quantum stochastic systems have a pure cascade realization of their transfer function, generalizing an earlier result established only for the special class of completely passive linear quantum stochastic systems. In particular, a cascade realization therefore exists for generic active linear quantum stochastic systems that require an external source of quanta to operate. The results facilitate a simplified realization of generic linear quantum stochastic systems for applications such as coherent feedback control and optical filtering. The key tools that are developed are algorithms for symplectic QR and Schur decompositions. It is shown that generic real square matrices of even dimension can be transformed into a lower $2 \times 2$ block triangular form by a symplectic similarity transformation. The linear algebraic results herein may be of independent interest for applications beyond the problem of transfer function realization for quantum systems. Numerical examples are included to illustrate the main results. In particular, one example describes an equivalent realization of the transfer function of a nondegenerate parametric amplifier as the cascade interconnection of two degenerate parametric amplifiers with an additional outcoupling mirror.

description: The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS-02) is a particle physics experiment designed to study origin and nature of Galactic Cosmic Rays (CRs) up to TeV energies from space. With its high sensitivity, long exposure and excellent identification capabilities, AMS is conducting a unique mission of fundamental physics research in space. To date, more than 60 billion CR events have been collected by AMS. The new results on CR leptons and the analysis and light-nuclei are presented and discussed. The new leptonic data indicate the existence of new sources of high-energy CR leptons, that may arise either by dark-matter particles annihilation or by nearby astrophysical sources of $e^{\pm}$ pairs. Future data at higher energies and forthcoming measurements on the antiproton spectrum and the boron-to-carbon ratio will be crucial in providing the discrimination among the different scenario.

Lessons from a pequeña república: Lancasterian education, state-making, and the crisis of patriarchal authority in early post-independence Mexico
Creators: name: Castillo, Angélica
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: The role of primary schools within the process of early post-independence Mexican state-making has been largely overlooked. In this study, I argue that primary schools, specifically those utilizing the Lancasterian educational method should be studied further because they yield important insights into the troubled course of Mexican nation-building during the first two decades following independence. The writings of elite Mexico City officials and lowly primary school teachers reveal that not only were Lancasterian schools considered especially effective in the training of a new citizenry, the schools were perceived to be actual representations of the republican society post-independence state-makers aspired to construct. When studied as microcosms of the greater republic, Lancasterian schools thus introduce an issue which has rarely been addressed in the study of early post-independence Mexico: generational conflicts between insubordinate minors and patriarchal authorities were a major obstacle in the creation of a stable Mexican state.
Simulation of Stacks of High Temperature Superconducting Coated Conductors Magnetized by Pulsed Field Magnetization Using Controlled Magnetic Density Distribution Coils

description: High temperature superconducting (HTS) stacks of coated conductors (CCs) can work as strong trapped field magnets (TFMs) and show potential in electrical applications. Pulsed field magnetization (PFM) is a practical method to magnetize such TFMs, but due to heat generation during the dynamic process, it cannot achieve a trapped field as high as field cooling can. In this work, we construct a 2D electromagnetic-thermal coupled model to simulate stacks of HTS CCs with realistic laminated structures magnetized by PFM. The model considers temperature and anisotropic magnetic field dependent Jc of HTS and other temperature dependent thermal and electrical material properties. Based on the model, a configuration of controlled magnetic density distribution coils is suggested to improve the trapped field compared to that obtained by ordinary solenoids.

A geometric approach to divergent points of higher dimensional Collatz mappings

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Number Theory (math.NT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics
subject: 11B83, 11H06, 11B37

description: We define generalized Collatz mappings on free abelian groups of finite rank and study their iteration trajectories. Using geometric arguments we describe cones of points having a divergent trajectory and we deduce lower bounds for the density of the set of divergent points. As an application we give examples which show that the iteration of generalized Collatz mappings on rings of algebraic integers can behave quite differently from the conjectured behavior in $Z$.

The effects of provincial standardized testing on teaching grade 10 and 12 English curriculum in School District #71
Creators: name: Mills, Dwayne R.
Publisher: name: Vancouver Island University - Royal Roads University
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Examinations

description: In the modern educational era with an increase in external accountability and the residual effects of the industrial model of education, it is challenging for teachers to maintain a robust curriculum when the system asks for more and more data that demonstrates the educational development of their students. These demands have lead to an increasing movement towards “teaching to the test” as teachers feel that positive results on the externally set examinations determine whether they have been successful in their classroom. This study focuses on the Grade 10 and 12 English teachers in School District #71, which is located in the rural area of the Comox Valley in the province of British Columbia (B.C.). A Likert-based survey (Appendix A) was sent out to 18 teachers and 12 responded with both quantitative and qualitative data that revealed how the provincial exams have affected their teaching content and style. The results of the data collected revealed that teachers were internally motivated to adjust their curriculum to meet the skills and content that students are asked to demonstrate on the provincial exam, while external pressures such as administration, parents, students and public organizations were a lesser factor in the adjustment of their curriculum.

Measurements of top-quark pair differential cross-sections in the lepton+jets channel in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV using the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, DESY, Hamburg
Year: 2017

description: Measurements of differential cross-sections of top-quark pair production in fiducial phase-spaces are presented as a function of top-quark and $t\bar{t}$ system kinematic observables in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}$=13 TeV. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of $3.2$ fb${}^{-1}$, recorded in 2015 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Events with exactly one electron or muon and at least two jets in the final state are used for the measurement. Two separate selections are applied that each focus on different top-quark momentum regions, referred to as resolved and boosted topologies of the $t\bar{t}$ final state. The measured spectra are corrected for detector effects and are compared to several Monte Carlo simulations by means of calculated $\chi^2$ and $p$-values.

New Physics in $B$ decays

description: While the LHC did not observe direct evidence for physics beyond the standard model, indirect hints for new physics were uncovered in the flavour sector in the decays $B\to K^*μ^+μ^-$, $B\to Kμ^+μ^-/B\to Ke^+e^-$, $B_s\toϕμ^+μ^-$, $B\to D^{(*)}τν$ and $h\toτ^\pmμ^\mp$. Each observable deviates from the SM predictions at the $2-3\,σ$ level only, but combining all $b\to sμ^+μ^-$ data via a global fit, one finds $4-5\,σ$ difference for NP compared to the SM and combining $B\to D^{*}τν$ with $B\to Dτν$ one obtains $3.9\,σ$. While $B\to D^{(*)}τν$ and $h\toτμ$ can be naturally explained by an extended Higgs sector, the $b\to sμ^+μ^-$ anomalies point at a $Z'$ gauge boson. However, it is also possible to explain $B\to D^{(*)}τν$ and $b\to sμ^+μ^-$ simultaneously with leptoquarks while their effect in $h\toτ^\pmμ^\mp$ is far too small to account for current data. Combining a 2HDM with a gauged $L_μ-L_τ$ symmetry allows for explaining the $b\to sμ^+μ^-$ anomalies in combination with $h\toτ^\pmμ^\mp$, predicting interesting correlations with $τ\to3μ$. In the light of these deviations from the SM we also discuss the possibilities of observing lepton flavour violating $B$ decays (e.g. $B\to K^{(*)}τ^\pmμ^\mp$ and $B_s\toτ^\pmμ^\mp$).
