An archaeology of food and settlement on the Northwest Coast

description: This dissertation examines multiple scales of Indigenous history on the Northwest Coast from the disciplinary perspective of archaeology. I focus on cultural lifeways archaeologically represented in two key domains of human existence: food and settlement. The dissertation consists of six individual case studies that demonstrate the utility of applying multiple spatial and temporal scales to refine archaeological understanding of cultural and historical variability on the Northwest Coast over the Mid-to-Late Holocene (ca. 5,000-200 BP). The first of three regionally scaled analyses presents a coast-wide examination of fisheries data indicating that Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii) exhibit a pervasive and previously under-recognized importance in Northwest Coast Indigenous subsistence practices. Next, I use zooarchaeological data from the southern British Columbia coast to identify a pattern of regional coherence in Coast Salish and Nuu-chah-nulth hunting traditions reflecting the scale of intergenerational cultural practice. The third study re-calibrates the settlement history of a small and historically significant locality in Coast Tsimshian territory (Prince Rupert Harbour) to clarify the temporal resolution of existing radiocarbon datasets and test inferences about social and political change. Following this regional exploration of scale, I document site-specific temporal variability in archaeological fisheries data from a Nuu-chah-nulth ‘big-house’ reflecting climatic and socio-economic change. I examine Indigenous oral histories and archaeological datasets to evaluate these parallel records of settlement in the neighbouring territory of an autonomous Nuu-chah-nulth polity before and during the occupation of a large defensive fortress. Finally, I demonstrate how everyday foodways are archaeologically expressed and reflect ecological differences and active management strategies within several spatially associated sites over millennial timescales. These linked case studies offer new clarity into long-standing debates concerning archaeologically relevant scales of cultural-historical variability on the NWC. They collectively demonstrate an enduring regional and temporal coherence for key aspects of indigenous resource use and settlement and a historical dynamism at finer scales. I argue this has cultural, historical, and archaeological significance as well as relevance for contemporary understandings of the Northwest Coast environment. I conclude that a focus on the pervasive aspects of the everyday over millennia offers insight into individual actions across broader patterns of history.

description: We explore a new class of supersymmetric models of inflation where the inflaton is realised as a combination of a Higgs field and (gauge non-singlet) matter fields, using a "tribrid" structure of the superpotential. Inflation is associated with a phase transition around GUT scale energies. The inflationary trajectory already preselects the later vacuum after inflation, which has the advantage of automatically avoiding the production of dangerous topological defects at the end of inflation. While at first sight the models look similar to smooth inflation, they feature a waterfall and are therefore only pseudosmooth. The new class of models offers novel possibilities for realising inflation in close contact with particle physics, for instance with supersymmetric GUTs or with supersymmetric flavour models based on family symmetries.

description: Abgaben auf den Kraftfahrzeugverkehr sind eine bedeutende Einnahmequelle der Staaten, gleichzeitig werden mit der Gestaltung der Abgabensysteme umweltpolitische Zielsetzungen verfolgt. Ein systematischer und quantitativer Vergleich der Besteuerung von Pkw in 30 Staaten Europas zeigt grose Unterschiede. In fast allen Ländern ist aber die Belastung für Fahrzeuge mit Dieselmotor geringer als fur die mit Ottomotor und der Anteil der fixen Abgabebetrage (auf Erwerb, Zulassung und Haltung) hoher als der Anteil der nutzungsabhängigen Abgaben. Die Position Deutschlands hinsichtlich beider Abgabenarten hat sich verschoben; das Land liegt bei der gesamten Belastung mittlerweile im unteren Bereich. Die deutsche Kfz-Steuer ist weder fiskalisch ergiebig noch zeigt sie die gewünschte Lenkungswirkung. Seit 2003 sind die Energiesteuersatze unverändert, der Realwert ist durch die Preisentwicklung um ein Fünftel gefallen. Vor diesem Hintergrund sollten beide Steuern reformiert werden. Priorität sollte eine Erhöhung der Dieselsteuer haben.

description: Similar to the idea of relative projectivity, we introduce the notion of relative subprojectivity, which is an alternative way to measure the projectivity of a module. Given modules $M$ and $N$, $M$ is said to be {\em $N$-subprojective} if for every epimorphism $g:B \rightarrow N$ and homomorphism $f:M \rightarrow N$, then there exists a homomorphism $h:M \rightarrow B$ such that $gh=f$. For a module $M$, the {\em subprojectivity domain of $M$} is defined to be the collection of all modules $N$ such that $M$ is $N$-subprojective. A module is projective if and only if its subprojectivity domain consists of all modules. Opposite to this idea, a module $M$ is said to be {\em subprojectively poor}, or {\em $sp$-poor} if its subprojectivity domain is as small as conceivably possible, that is, consisting of exactly the projective modules. Properties of subprojectivity domains and $sp$-poor modules are studied. In particular, the existence of an $sp$-poor module is attained for artinian serial rings.

Nonperturbative theory of weak pre- and post-selected measurements

description: This paper starts with a brief review of the topic of strong and weak pre- and post-selected (PPS) quantum measurements, as well as weak values, and afterwards presents original work. In particular, we develop a nonperturbative theory of weak PPS measurements of an arbitrary system with an arbitrary meter, for arbitrary initial states. New and simple analytical formulas are obtained for the average and the distribution of the meter pointer variable, which hold to all orders in the weak value. In the case of a mixed preselected state, in addition to the standard weak value, an associated weak value is required to describe weak PPS measurements. In the linear regime, the theory provides the generalized Aharonov-Albert-Vaidman formula. Moreover, we reveal two new regimes of weak PPS measurements: the strongly-nonlinear regime and the inverted region, where the system-dependent contribution to the pointer deflection decreases with increasing the measurement strength. The optimal conditions for weak PPS measurements are achieved in the strongly-nonlinear regime, where the magnitude of the average pointer deflection is equal or close to the maximum. This maximum is independent of the measurement strength, being typically of the order of the pointer uncertainty. We show that the amplification in the weak PPS measurements is a product of two qualitatively different quantities: proper amplification and enhancement. The effects of the free system and meter Hamiltonians are discussed. We also identify optimal meters for weak measurements. Exact solutions are obtained for a certain class of the measured observables. These solutions are used for numerical calculations, the results of which agree with the theory. Moreover, the theory is extended to allow for a completely general post-selection measurement. We also discuss time-symmetry properties of PPS measurements of any strength.

description: Recent studies have shown that adaptive networks driven by simple local rules can organize into "critical" global steady states, providing another framework for self-organized criticality (SOC). We focus on the important convergence to criticality and show that noise and time-scale optimality are reached at finite values. This is in sharp contrast to the previously believed optimal zero noise and infinite time scale separation case. Furthermore, we discover a noise induced phase transition for the breakdown of SOC. We also investigate each of the three new effects separately by developing models. These models reveal three generically low-dimensional dynamical behaviors: time-scale resonance (TR), a new simplified version of stochastic resonance - which we call steady state stochastic resonance (SSR) - as well as noise-induced phase transitions.

description: Frauen verdienen in Deutschland durchschnittlich immer noch weniger als Männer. Dies gilt auch und sogar verstärkt für Führungskräfte: Für den Zeitraum von 2010 bis 2016 ergibt sich für Vollzeitbeschäftigte in Führungspositionen ein durchschnittlicher Gender Pay Gap im Bruttostundenverdienst von 30 Prozent. Werden geschlechtsspezifische Unterschiede in relevanten Verdienstdeterminanten herausgerechnet, verbleibt eine Verdienstlücke von elf Prozent. Eine hohe Erklärungskraft für den Gender Pay Gap insgesamt hat mit sieben Prozent die Berufserfahrung in Vollzeitarbeit. Das zeigt die vorliegende Studie auf der Grundlage von Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP). Die Entlohnung von Führungskräften ist offenbar immer noch eng verknüpft mit dem Ideal der durchgängigen Vollzeitarbeit. Zur Reduzierung der Verdienstlücke sind politische Maßnahmen erforderlich, die den großen Unterschieden im Erwerbsumfang zwischen Frauen und Männern im Lebensverlauf entgegenwirken. Dazu ist auch ein Kulturwandel in den Unternehmen notwendig

description: Zehn Jahre nach Ausbruch der weltweiten Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise, die ihren Ursprung auf dem US-amerikanischen Immobilienmarkt hatte, steigen angesichts weltweit zunehmender Preise für Wohneigentum die Sorgen vor neuen Immobilienpreisblasen. Dieser Wochenbericht zeigt auf Basis von OECD-Daten für 20 Länder, dass die Sorge nicht unberechtigt ist: In acht Ländern – darunter beispielsweise das Vereinigte Königreich und Schweden – deutet die Immobilienpreisentwicklung auf ein spekulatives Anlageverhalten von InvestorInnen hin. Vor allem die nach wie vor hohe Verschuldung der privaten Haushalte und das allgemein sehr niedrige Zinsniveau sprechen vielerorts für eine neue Blase. Anzeichen für spekulative Überbewertungen gibt es auch in Deutschland, allerdings in erster Linie in den großen Metropolen. Die Gefahr einer landesweiten Immobilienpreisblase ist nicht zuletzt wegen der deutlich niedrigeren Verschuldung der Privathaushalte hierzulande geringer einzustufen. Handlungsbedarf gibt es mangels geeigneter Vorsorge aber dennoch: Zwar ist es mittlerweile möglich, die Kreditvergabe zu begrenzen. Nach Ansicht vieler MarktbeobachterInnen ist das Instrumentarium jedoch unvollständig. Um möglichen Fehlentwicklungen vorzubeugen, wäre insbesondere eine Deckelung des Verhältnisses von Verschuldung und Haushaltseinkommen wünschenswert

Estimating population densities of Peromyscus maniculatus, Clethrionomys rutilus, Lepus americanus, and Tamiasciurus hudsonicus using remote cameras in the boreal forest of Yukon Territory, Canada.

description: Population density estimation of small mammals often involves live trapping, a procedure that can be stressful on the captured animals, time consuming, and expensive. Encounter or “hit” rates between animals and remote cameras have been suggested as a method for using remote cameras to estimate the population density of species when individuals cannot be identified; this method has not yet been tested on rodents. Live trapping and filming of four species of small mammal was conducted in the boreal forest of Yukon Territory during the summers of 2010, 2011 and 2012 to determine if hit rates can be used to estimate the population density of deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus), northern red-backed voles (Clethrionomys rutilus), snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) and red squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus). Microtus spp. were also observed, but at numbers too low for analysis; density estimates and video counts are presented. The first objective was to determine if the hit window or protocol used to group videos suspected of being generated in the same encounter affects the correlation between hit rates and live-trapping-based population density estimates for these four species. Hit window duration had little effect on the correlation between hit rates and live-trapping-based population density estimates for deer mice, a moderate effect for northern red-backed voles, and major effects for snowshoe hares and red squirrels. The second objective of this research was to determine if, given the “best” hit window for each species, hit rates and live-trapping-based population density estimates are correlated such that hit rates could be used in place of live trapping to estimate the population density of these species. Strong correlations between hit rates and trap-based density estimates suggest that remote cameras are an accurate and rapid non-invasive alternative to live trapping for estimating the population density of all four species.

description: Graphene is a material with remarkable electronic properties and exceptional thermal transport properties near room temperature, which have been well examined and understood. However at very low temperatures the thermodynamic and thermal transport properties are much less well explored and somewhat surprisingly, is expected to exhibit extreme thermal isolation. Here we demonstrate an ultra-sensitive, wide-bandwidth measurement scheme to probe the thermal transport and thermodynamic properties of the electron gas of graphene. We employ Johnson noise thermometry at microwave frequency to sensitively measure the temperature of the electron gas with resolution of $4 mK/\sqrt{Hz}$ and a bandwidth of 80 MHz. We have measured the electron-phonon coupling from 2-30 K at a charge density of $2\cdot 10^{11} cm^{-2}$. Utilizing bolometric mixing, we have sensed temperature oscillations with period of 430 ps and have determined the heat capacity of the electron gas to be $2\cdot 10^{-21} J/(K\cdot μm^2)$ at 5 K which is consistent with that of a two dimensional, Dirac electron gas. These measurements suggest that graphene-based devices together with wide bandwidth noise thermometry can generate substantial advances in the areas of ultra-sensitive bolometry, calorimetry, microwave and terahertz photo-detection, and bolometric mixing for applications in areas such as observational astronomy and quantum information and measurement.

description: We consider a model of non-local gravity with a large bare cosmological constant, $Λ$, and study its cosmological solutions. The model is characterized by a function $f(ψ)=f_0 e^{αψ}$ where $ψ=\Box^{-1}R$ and $α$ is a real dimensionless parameter. In the absence of matter, we find an expanding universe solution $a\propto t^n$ with $n<1$, that is, a universe with decelarated expansion without any fine-tuning of the parameter. Thus the effect of the cosmological constant is effectively shielded in this solution. It has been known that solutions in non-local gravity often suffer from the existence of ghost modes. In the present case we find the solution is ghost-free if $α>α_{cr}\approx0.17$. This is quite a weak condition. We argue that the solution is stable against the includion of matter fields. Thus our solution opens up new possibilities for solution to the cosmological constant problem.

description: Η παρούσα μελέτη διερευνά τις απόψεις των επαγγελματιών κοινωνικών λειτουργών, αντρών και γυναικών, που εργάζονται στα σωφρονιστικά καταστήματα της Ελλάδας, αναφορικά με το έργο τους και τη συμβολή τους στην αντιμετώπιση των εξαρτημένων κρατούμενων. Περιγράφεται το πλαίσιο εργασίας, ο ρόλος τους, οι δυσκολίες και τα εμπόδια στην εκτέλεση των καθηκόντων τους, οι γνώσεις και οι δεξιότητες που απαιτούνται να κατέχουν προκειμένου να ασκήσουν τις πρακτικές της κοινωνικής εργασίας. Επιπλέον, διερευνάται η συμβολή τους στην αντιμετώπιση της χρήσης και εξάρτησης στο πλαίσιο του σωφρονιστικού συστήματος.Τα ζητήματα αυτά, προσεγγίζονται μέσα από την ποιοτική έρευνα που διεξήχθη, η οποία βασίστηκε σε ημι-δομημένες συνεντεύξεις με έντεκα επαγγελματίες κοινωνικούς λειτουργούς, τρεις άντρες και οκτώ γυναίκες που εργάζονται στα σωφρονιστικά καταστήματα. Ο τρόπος που αντιλαμβάνονται οι κοινωνικοί λειτουργοί το ρόλο τους στην άσκηση των καθηκόντων τους σε συνθήκες εγκλεισμού ευθυγραμίζεται με την υπάρχουσα βιβλιογραφία όπου αναδυκνύεται ο διττός ρόλος του επαγγελματία. Η διαχείριση του φαινομένου της εξάρτησης στα σωφρονιστικά καταστήματα καταδεικνύει την ανεπάρκεια του συστήματος να καλύψει τις ανάγκες των εξαρτημένων κρατούμενων.
description: This study explores the views of professional social workers working in detention facilities in Greece, regarding their work and their contribution to the treatment of dependent detainees. It describes the work context, their role, the difficulties and obstacles in the performance of their duties, the knowledge and skills required to possess in order to practice social work practices. In addition, their contribution to tackling use and addiction within the penitentiary system is being investigated. These issues are addressed through qualitative research conducted, which was based on semi- structured interviews with eleven professional social workers, three men and eight women working in detention facilities. The way social workers perceive their role in the exercise of their duties in conditions of prison, aligns with the existing literature where the dual role of the professional emerges. The management of addiction in prisons highlights the inadequacy of the system to meet the needs of addicted prisoners.

description: We prove that the spectral gap of the Swendsen-Wang dynamics for the random-cluster model is larger than the spectral gap of a single-bond dynamics, that updates only a single edge per step. For this we give a representation of the algorithms on the joint (Potts/random-cluster) model. Furthermore we obtain upper and lower bounds on the mixing time of the single-bond dynamics on the discrete $d$-dimensional torus of side length $L$ at the Potts transition temperature for $q$ large enough that are exponential in $L^{d-1}$, complementing a result of Borgs, Chayes and Tetali.

description: Die Auswertung neu verfügbarer Daten zeigt, dass die Wertschöpfung griechischer Privatunternehmen in den letzten zehn Jahren nominal um 38 Prozent eingebrochen ist. Besonders stark traf es dabei Kleinstunternehmen. Trotz aller Bemühungen, das makroökonomische Umfeld zu stabilisieren, hat zuletzt nur eine leichte und noch kraftlose Erholung eingesetzt. Auch in naher Zukunft ist kein dynamisches Wirtschaftswachstum zu erwarten. Denn in dem acht Jahre dauernden Reformprozess haben sich die Rahmenbedingungen für Investitionen und unternehmerische Aktivitäten nur punktuell verbessert. Lediglich die Arbeitsmärkte wurden stark dereguliert. Werden grundlegende Reformen der Verwaltung, eine Justizreform zur Beschleunigung von Gerichtsverfahren, ein verbessertes Steuersystem sowie die Intensivierung des Wissenstransfers im nationalen Innovationssystem weiterhin nicht angegangen, wird Griechenland auch in den nächsten Jahren kein stärkeres Wirtschaftswachstum erreichen. Wenn aber im August das dritte Hilfsprogramm für Griechenland endet, schwindet auch der äußere Reformdruck. Offen bleibt, inwieweit die aktuelle oder eine künftige Regierung den noch ausstehenden Reformprozess eigenverantwortlich weiterführen wird.

Interference with AMPA receptor endocytosis : effects on behavioral and neurochemical correlates of amphetamine sensitization
Creators: name: Choi, Fiona Y.

description: A hallmark of drug addiction is the compulsive drug taking behaviour that persists despite detrimental and adverse consequences. The gradual sensitization to the effects of drugs has been proposed to be an underlying mechanism for increased drug use and it serves as an animal model of craving and enduring neural plasticity. Evidence from studies conducted in rodents, non-human primates and humans have supported a role for sensitization in the development of states that promote drug taking. Rodent studies have also demonstrated that repeated exposure to drugs producing behavioural sensitization increases dopamine (DA) levels in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) and contributes to the acquisition of drug self-administration behaviour as well as the effort level to actively acquire a drug. The changes in neural functioning following repeated drug exposure is attributed to alterations in synaptic connections that underlie and are crucial for normal brain function as well as mechanisms of learning and memory. There is recent evidence supporting the development of a new class of interference peptides aimed at repairing functional and structural alterations in brain regions implicated in a number of psychiatric disorders. One such interference peptide, Tat-GluA2₃Y, blocks long-term depression (LTD) at glutamatergic synapses and has also been demonstrated to block the expression of behavioural sensitization and significantly reduce cue-induced reinstatement of heroin self-administration. This peptide interferes with the interaction between α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA) receptor and Brag2, a clathrin-adaptor protein which initiates the process of AMPA receptor endocytosis, leading to LTD. Results from the studies contained in this dissertation suggest that modulating protein-protein interactions with Tat-GluA2₃Y can influence the synaptic modifications following repeated amphetamine exposure, to effectively block the development and long-term maintenance of behavioral sensitization in a context-dependent manner. Effects of this peptide can be applied to understanding the circuitry and mechanisms involved in the development of psychostimulant sensitization, possibly serving as a platform from which to develop a novel pharmacotherapeutic approach for treating drug addiction.

Subjects: Open Access; Smart; Smart OA;

description: Smart Open Access (OA) seeks OA routes that synergistically embody Plan S principles, support the authors’ careers and professional ambitions, and maximize research impacts, while appropriately considering funding agency OA requirements and available OA funds. Smart OA was defined while elaborating these Guidelines, and based on a brief internet search this term is novel. The need to define Smart OA reflects that many OA routes are not considered to be sufficiently Smart, and this is impeding the OA Transition and realization of Plan S.

description: Σκοπός της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι η κατά τον 19ο και 20ο αιώνα παρουσίαση της ιστορικής πορείας των γεωγραφικών εκείνων περιοχών του Πρεσβυγενούς Θρόνου της Αντιόχειας «της Μεγάλης», τα οποία κείνται πλέον εντός της εδαφικής επικράτειας του σημερινού τουρκικού κράτους. Τοιουτοτρόπως, μετά από μία γενικότερη ματιά αναφορικά με την πορεία του Χριστιανισμού στην συνολική δικαιοδοσία του Πατριαρχείου ανά τους αιώνες, η παρούσα μελέτη επικεντρώνεται στην ανάδειξη των ιστορικών γεγονότων που σχετίζονται με τις τέσσερις ελληνόφωνες επαρχίες του Πατριαρχείου Αντιοχείας στον νοτιοανατολικό κορμό της σύγχρονης Τουρκίας. Συνεπώς, η ενασχόληση με το θέμα του εθνοφυλετισμού αποτελεί ουσιώδης εγχείρημα του ανά χείρας έργου.
description: The purpose of the present thesis is the -between 19th and 20th century- presentation of the historical course of those geographical territories of the Ancient Throne of Antioch «The Grand», which lie in the territorial sovereignty of the modern Turkish state. Thus, after a more general look regarding the course of Christianity in the whole jurisdiction of the Patriarchate by the centuries, the present study focuses to highlight the historical facts, which relate with the four Greek-speaking provinces of the Patriarchate of Antioch in the southeastern part of the modern Turkey. Therefore, dealing with the subject of ethno-tribalism is an essential topic of the work on hand.
