Cavity perturbation measurements of the shunt impedance of a tuned resonator with higher-order-mode damping
Creators: name: Joffe, David Noah
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The performance of a prototype higher-order-mode (HOM) damper for the proposed KAON Factory Booster Ring was determined by measuring the shunt impedance of a variable frequency tuned resonator with higher-order-mode damping at both the fundamental and higher resonant frequencies using the cavity perturbation technique. This technique consists of pulling a spherical dielectric bead across the cavity gap and recording the change in the frequency of the cavity resonance at each point along the path. Using the frequency shift values, the electrical properties of the bead, and the quality factor and frequency of the non-perturbed cavity resonance, one can find the relative electric field strengths along the path across the cavity gap, and these may be integrated to give the shunt impedance of the structure. An automated system for performing cavity perturbation measurements was constructed with a single computer both controlling the pulling of the bead and recording the properties of the cavity resonance. This system was tested for accuracy on a cavity with no damper attached, and the effects of different cavity configurations were examined. The impedances of two closely related designs of prototype higher-order-mode dampers were measured using the automated system. The first damper consisted of a five-element high-pass filter made up of three washer-like structures encircling the cavity axis, and the second damper consisted of a seven-element filter similar to the first but with the final two elements being made up of an additional washer and pipe structure (the horn) which were added in order to shield the structure from the beam. The two structures were found to have nearly identical properties in terms of their shunt impedances and abilities to damp higher-order-modes in the cavity. Both damper designs were found to lower the shunt impedance of the cavity gap by less than 10% at the fundamental frequency, and by more than 99% for all higher-order-modes up to the 700 MHz range. Above 700 MHz the dampers were found to lower the shunt impedance of TEM modes by about 90%, and of the first TE mode by 50%. In all cases the shunt impedances of the system at frequencies above the fundamental were below 500 Ω, well below the 1 kΩ maximum allowable in order to maintain a stable beam [1, 2].
The targum (1950:Nov. 3 - 1950:Nov. 28)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1950

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: We study the bridge between the phenomenological mass matrix model and SO(10) GUT. Namely, we consider the four zero texture model in the framework of the renormalizable SO(10) GUT model. This unification gives more stringent constraints than the case where only either model is considered. However, we can obtain good fitting by expanding the minimal SO(10) GUT to include 120 in addition to 10 and \bar 126 in Yukawa coupling and by considering both type-I and type-II seesaw mechanisms.

description: Currently, the main challenges facing manufacturing automation is how to integrate the ERPsystem closely with the shop-floor so that manufacturers can achieve real-time visibility of thestatus of the manufacturing resources on the shop-floor. Process data are being collected andinputted manually into ERP system; this process is prone to error and time consuming. Thishas led to lack of timely and accurate information about the status of manufacturing resourceson the shop-floor.Internet of Things based technology solution is used to assist manufacturing automation in aselected case of valve manufacturing in order to address these challenges. Internet of Thingstechnology solution relies on RFID and wireless sensor technology for real-time tracing andtracking of manufacturing resources. Manufacturing resources (Operators, machines, workpiece carrier, etc.) are equipped with Auto-ID devices and user interface of manufacturingexecution system (MES) is provided on the shop floor so that operators can send real-timeupdates about their operations to ERP system.The research reported in this thesis demonstrates how Internet of Thing based technologysolution can be used to overcome the challenges of real-time visibility of the status of themanufacturing resources by offering real-time information capturing from the shop-floor byAuto-ID devices and seamless integration of ERP system and MES with the shop-floor.

description: Τα κοινωνικά δίκτυα διαδραματίζουν έναν πολύ σημαντικό ρόλο στη διάδοση των πληροφοριών. Μέχρι στιγμής έχουν αναδειχθεί πολλά διαφορετικά είδη των κοινωνικών δικτύων, όπως το Facebook, το YouTube, το Instagram, το Flickr, το Twitter και τόσα άλλα. Καθένα από τα προαναφερθέντα δίκτυα προσέλκυσε το ενδιαφέρον της παγκόσμιας επιστημονικής κοινότητας, για διαφορετικούς λόγους, και υπήρξε το έναυσμα για την συγγραφή πολλά papers με επίκεντρο τα κοινωνικά δίκτυα αυτά. Παρ 'όλα αυτά υπήρξε ένα συγκεκριμένος ιστότοπος κοινωνικής δικτύωσης, ο οποίος ξεχώρισε από τους υπολοίπους και κατάφερε να αποκτήσει το μεγαλύτερο μέρος της πίτας αναφορικά με τον αριθμό των paper που γράφτηκαν και τον αριθμό των ερευνητών που ασχολήθηκαν μαζί του. Ο ιστότοπος αυτός ήταν το Twitter. Οι κύριοι λόγοι είναι τα χαρακτηριστικά του, όπως το μέγεθος των μηνυμάτων που ανταλλάσσονταν μεταξύ των χρηστών (με ανώτατο όριο τους 140 χαρακτήρες), τα replies, τα retweets, τα hashtags, η συμπεριφορά following και followed και το ανοικτό API του. Όλα τα προαναφερθέντα είναι τα χαρακτηριστικά που καθιστούν το Twitter τόσο ξεχωριστό και ενδιαφέρον για περαιτέρω έρευνα. Το Twitter μας κίνησε το ενδιαφέρον και τράβηξε την προσοχή μας, έτσι ώστε να ασχοληθούμε και να αφιερώσουμε χρόνο στη μελέτη του, όμως δεν είναι το μοναδικό κοινωνικό δίκτυο το οποίο μελετήσαμε στα πλαίσια αυτής της διπλωματικής.
description: Social networks play a fundamental role in the diffusion of information. So far there have been emerged many different types of social media, e.g. Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Flickr, Twitter and so many more. All of them attracted the attention of the global scientific community and lots of papers written focus on them. Nevertheless there was one particular social media site, which popped out of the page and gained the biggest part of the pie regarding paper volume written. The main reasons for that are its features, e.g. microblogging (sms-like) message length, replies, retweets, hashtags, following and followed behavior and its open API, that make Twitter so special and interesting for further research. This social media is Twitter, which, although is not the main focus of this thesis, it gained a lot of attention from our side.

description: Aladin2 is an experiment devoted to the first measurement of variations of Casimir energy in a rigid body. The main short-term scientific motivation relies on the possibility of the first demonstration of a phase transition influenced by vacuum fluctuations while, in the long term and in the mainframe of the cosmological constant problem, it can be regarded as the first step towards a measurement of the weight of vacuum energy. In this paper, after a presentation of the guiding principle of the measurement, the experimental apparatus and sensitivity studies on final cavities will be presented.

description: The present thesis examines the protection of fundamental rights within the legal order of the European Union (EU) and specifically the judicial cooperation that is developed in that field between the European Court of Justice (ECJ) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). As it is shown further on, the institutional dialogue between the aforementioned courts is developing under the shadow of EU’s obligation to accede to the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR), according the provisions of the Lisbon Treaty (article 6§2 TEU). The purpose of the analysis that follows is to demonstrate the role of those two Courts in the protection of fundamental rights in Europe, at the present moment and also in the context of that role, examine whether justice is actually served. With the Bosphorus judgment of the ECtHR serving as the dividing line, this thesis possesses two parts. The first part explores in chronological order the jurisprudence of the Strasbourg Court regarding the supranational organization of the EU. The second part deals with the most recent jurisprudence of the ECtHR that seems to align itself with the negotiations of the EU’s accession to ECHR. The essay ends with some concluding summarizing thoughts and remarks about the European protection of fundamental rights as a whole.
Q^2 dependence of azimuthal asymmetries in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering and in Drell-Yan

description: We study several azimuthal asymmetries in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering and in Drell-Yan, interpreting them in the framework of the formalism of the quark correlator, with a particular reference to T-odd functions. The correlator contains an undetermined energy scale, which we fix on the basis of a simple and rather general argument. We find a different value than the one assumed in previous treatments of T-odd functions. This implies different predictions on the Q^2 dependence of the above mentioned asymmetries. Our result about the azimuthal asymmetry of unpolarized Drell-Yan agrees with presently available data, contrary to the alternative assumption on the scale. Predictions on other azimuthal asymmetries could be tested against data of planned experiments on Drell-Yan and semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering.

description: We prove that every place P of an algebraic function field F|K of arbitrary characteristic admits local uniformization in a finite extension E of F. We show that E|F can be chosen to be Galois, after a finite purely inseparable extension of the ground field K. Instead of being Galois, the extension can also be chosen such that the induced extension EP|FP of the residue fields is purely inseparable and the value group of F only gets divided by the residue characteristic. If F lies in the completion of an Abhyankar place, then no extension of F is needed. Our proofs are based solely on valuation theoretical theorems, which are of particular importance in positive characteristic. They are also applicable when working over a subring R of K and yield similar results if R is regular and of dimension smaller than 3.

BANDITS: a Bayesian hierarchical model for differential splicing accounting for sample-to-sample variability and mapping uncertainty
Creators: name: Tiberi, Simone
name: Robinson, Mark D
Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited
Year: 2019

description: BANDITS is a Bayesian hierarchical model for detecting differential splicing of genes and transcripts, via differential transcript usage (DTU), between two or more conditions. The method uses a Bayesian hierarchical framework, which allows for sample specific proportions in a Dirichlet-multinomial model, and samples the allocation of fragments to the transcripts. Parameters are inferred via Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques and a DTU test is performed via a multivariate Wald test on the posterior densities for the average relative abundance of transcripts.

BANDITS is available on Bioconductor.

description: We perform a Gutzwiller projected wavefunction study for the spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on the Kagome lattice to compare energies of several spin-liquid states. The result indicates that a U(1)-Dirac spin-liquid state has the lowest energy. Furthermore, even without variational parameters, the energy turns out to be very close to that found by exact diagonalization. We show that such a U(1)-Dirac state represents a quantum phase whose low energy physics is governed by four flavors of two-component Dirac fermions coupled to a U(1) gauge field. These results are discussed in the context of recent experiments on ZnCu$_3$(OH)$_6$Cl$_2$.

description: In 2004 the Dutch Department of Social Affairs conducted a survey to assess the extent of noncompliance with social security regulations. The survey was conducted among 870 recipients of social security benefits and included a series of sensitive questions about regulatory noncompliance. Due to the sensitive nature of the questions the randomized response design was used. Although randomized response protects the privacy of the respondent, it is unlikely that all respondents followed the design. In this paper we introduce a model that allows for respondents displaying self-protective response behavior by consistently giving the nonincriminating response, irrespective of the outcome of the randomizing device. The dependent variable denoting the total number of incriminating responses is assumed to be generated by the application of randomized response to a latent Poisson variable denoting the true number of rule violations. Since self-protective responses result in an excess of observed zeros in relation to the Poisson randomized response distribution, these are modeled as observed zero-inflation. The model includes predictors of the Poisson parameters, as well as predictors of the probability of self-protective response behavior.

description: Vancouver City Council has undertaken a project on aging titled ‘READY OR NOT!”. The intention is to provide the city with a community-developed strategic plan on urban aging and to provide a model for subsequent work on social development issues, including how to elicit public participation. In an effort to broaden public participation, on the topic of our aging population, city-wide workshops were held in twenty-two neighbourhoods and ethnic communities in April, 1992. Drawing on the assumption that public participation is a desirable aspect of government, this research establishes a participant profile and identifies some determinants of participation. Questionnaires were sent out to a random sample of 150 participants of the workshops. The response rate resulted in a sample of 66. Research included a survey and a focus group, generating descriptive statistics, process, and content data. As well interviews were undertaken to broaden the information covered. The information that emerged from this research is that participants tended to be of higher educational, occupational and social status. Overall, they had high feelings of personal and community efficacy. An attachment to neighbourhood was evident. As well as a commitment to volunteer causes. These findings are reflective of the current literature on participation. A deviation from the literature is the fact that the respondents were overwhelming of the female gender. The percentage breakdown was 71.21% female and 28.79% male. The utility of this research is that by better understanding who participates and the determinants of public participation, social workers can educate and support individuals, groups, and communities to seek empowerment through participation. As individuals, professionals and members of our own neighbourhoods we can also impress upon government the need for public participation in planning that affects the quality of life of all.

description: Designing mutations to get desirable biological activities is one of the most recurrent problems in biotechnology. Experimental methods imply large time, economic costs and limit the search space for mutants. Computational tools appear as a powerful solution for this challenge. Nevertheless, the latent problem still persists.
We propose FFT-Mutant Kit, a novel tool that allows to design mutations from linear sequences, digitizing their physicochemical properties, considering for their evaluation, structural and phylogenetic information and the application of techniques of data mining and pattern recognition. Tool trains models through meta-learning techniques. The descriptors are based on frequency spectra of the protein obtained from the coding of the residues and digitized through Fourier Transforms. Dataset is composed of homolog proteins whose characteristics are known. New mutations and to evaluate their potential effect, physicochemical, thermodynamic and phylogenetic properties are considered as a pre-filter stage. The tool applies trained models to associate mutations and their expected effect on the target variable and the relevant physicochemical properties for describing the suggested mutations.
Finally, it is believed that this tool will be a significant contribution when designing mutants with desirable biological activities and a powerful means of studying proteins from the digitalization of their physicochemical properties.

description: The subject of the present thesis is the description and analysis of the pronoun, as well as the noun system of the dialects of Kalandra and Taxiarhis Chalkidiki, as they are used by their speakers. It consists of five main chapters. Chapters 1-4 include introduction, placing of the regions on the map and methodological analysis of this research. Chapter five analyzes the two idioms comparatively on phonological (5.1.1. - 5.1.2) and morphological level (5.2.1. -5.2.4), where the system of articles is analyzed, all categories of pronouns , the nominal system of nouns and adjectives , as well as phenomena of comparison, composition and the formation of diminutives. Embedded in the chapters, there are observations regarding differences between the two dialects, but also in comparison to other northern dialects. The main purpose of this study is to record, describe and systematically analyse these two dialects that typologically belong together in a group of dialects of Chalkidiki, a group that belongs to the Northern dialectal group.

description: Σε μια παγκοσμιοποιημένη οικονομία κανένα κράτος δεν είναι αυτάρκες. Τα κράτη στηρίζονται στο παγκόσμιο εμπόριο για να εξάγουν την παραγωγή τους, να εισάγουν προϊόντα στα οποία έχουν ελλειμματική παραγωγή, αλλά και για να αποκτήσουν πρόσβαση σε προϊόντα τα οποία δε θα μπορούσαν ποτέ να παράγουν οι ίδιοι εξαιτίας έλλειψης τεχνογνωσίας ή/και άλλων παραγόντων. Τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες, όμως, το παγκόσμιο εμπόριο πήρε πολύ μεγάλες διαστάσεις οδηγώντας σε δραστικές εξελίξεις στους τρόπους με τους οποίους πραγματοποιούνται οι μεταφορές. Ωστόσο, οι μεταφορές στηρίζονται σε πολύ μεγάλο βαθμό στην κατανάλωση ενέργειας, με αποτέλεσμα να παράγονται και διάφορα επιβλαβή αέρια από την καύση της. Επιπλέον, υπάρχουν μια σειρά άλλες ανεπιθύμητες επιδράσεις στο περιβάλλον που περιγράφονται με τον όρο “εξωτερικότητες”. Είναι επιτακτική λοιπόν η περιβαλλοντική θεώρηση των εφοδιαστικών αλυσίδων των επιχειρήσεων και των μεταφορικών δραστηριοτήτων τους και ένας από τους πιο βασικούς τρόπους για να επιτευχθεί αυτό είναι κατ’ αρχάς η μέτρηση των εξωτερικών επιδράσεων. Στην εργασία αυτή πραγματοποιείται μια προσπάθεια παρουσίασης των διαθέσιμων εργαλείων, καθώς και ένα παράδειγμα υπολογισμού των αερίων του θερμοκηπίου στη διαδρομή Θεσσαλονίκη-Σόφια. Ένας άλλος βασικός άξονας στον οποίο κινείται η εργασία είναι η αναζήτηση τρόπων και πρακτικών που θα μπορούσαν να εφαρμοστούν από τις εταιρείες για τον περεταίρω περιορισμό των εκπεμπόμενων αερίων και γενικότερα των εξωτερικοτήτων.
description: In a global economy, no country is self-sufficient. Economies rely on global trade to export their production, import products that have deficient production, but also to gain access to products that could never produce themselves due to lack of expertise and/or other factors. In recent decades, however, world trade grew largely, leading to significant developments in the ways transport of goods takes place. Additionally, transport relies heavily on energy consumption, thus producing various harmful gases from combustion. Moreover, there are a number of other adverse effects on the environment described by the term "externalities". Therefore, it is imperative to include all environmental considerations in the design of companies’ supply chains and transport operations, and one of the very first steps to achieve that is the measurement of externalities. In this thesis, it is attempted to show some of the available tools, and a sample calculation of greenhouse gases is performed on the route Thessaloniki-Sofia. Finally, another keystone is the research of ways and practices that could be implemented by companies to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions and externalities in general.

The key objectives were to explore selected Nigerian films as a promoter and storehouse of culture that draws inspiration from village rituals, folklore, and worldviews. The study adopted the qualitative research method with interviews in a focus group setting and individual in-depth interviews. The study was based on Turner’s theory of ritual process and Symbolic Convergence Theory, and data were textually analyzed. The research questions were discussed using interview guides after watching the film understudy as well as asking participants questions based on their personal experiences. The findings revealed that although respondents shared mixed feelings about the promotion of Igbo culture through film, it was discovered that Nollywood movies not only promote Igbo culture but also do so on actual realities of audiences living in conditions, which acknowledges the fact that Nollywood movies draw from both culture and history, and do so by building ‘on existing cultural heritage such as song and dance, the oral tradition both literary and rumors and popular culture’. However, given the nature of movies as a tool for promotion, the researcher recommends that movies take advantage of the viable film industry and do more in the promotion of African cultural heritage.

description: While most approaches in formal methods address system correctness, ensuring robustness has remained a challenge. In this paper we present and study the logic rLTL which provides a means to formally reason about both correctness and robustness in system design. Furthermore, we identify a large fragment of rLTL for which the verification problem can be efficiently solved, i.e., verification can be done by using an automaton, recognizing the behaviors described by the rLTL formula $φ$, of size at most $\mathcal{O} \left( 3^{ |φ|} \right)$, where $|φ|$ is the length of $φ$. This result improves upon the previously known bound of $\mathcal{O}\left(5^{|φ|} \right)$ for rLTL verification and is closer to the LTL bound of $\mathcal{O}\left( 2^{|φ|} \right)$. The usefulness of this fragment is demonstrated by a number of case studies showing its practical significance in terms of expressiveness, the ability to describe robustness, and the fine-grained information that rLTL brings to the process of system verification. Moreover, these advantages come at a low computational overhead with respect to LTL verification.

description: We present effective optical constants of stratified metal-dielectric metameterial. The effective constants are determined by two complex reflectivity method (TCRM). TCRM reveals full components of effective permittivity and permeability tensors and indicates the remarkable anisotropy of metallic and dielectric components below effective plasma frequency. On the other hand, above the plasma frequency, one of the effective refractive indexes takes a positive value less than unity and is associated with small loss. The photonic states are confirmed by the distribution of electromagnetic fields.

Amber suppression in the archaebacterium Haloferax volcanii
Creators: name: Yau, Josephine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this project was to test whether amber suppression can occur in Haloferax volcanii or not, and if so, to construct a H. volcanii strain that can suppress amber mutations. To achieve this goal, a putative amber suppressor was constructed from the tyrosine transfer RNA of H. volcanii. Its ability to recognize an amber stop codon and to restore the wild type function of an amber mutated gene was tested. The gene coding for tyrosine tRNA of H. volcanii DS2 was cloned and sequenced. Site-directed mutagenesis was carried out to change the anticodon of the tRNA gene from GUA to CUA, which recognizes the tyrosine codon UAU and UAC, and the amber stop codon UAG respectively. The hisC gene of wild type H. volcanii was obtained and recloned into pGEM7(-). Site directed mutagenesis was carried out to change the DNA sequence of its first tyrosine codon (TAC) to an amber stop codon (TAG). I attempted to replace the wild type hisC gene in the H. volcanii WFD11 genome with the hisC gene carrying the amber mutation. However, although the construct carrying the hisC(Am) gene and an antibiotic resistance marker integrated into the genome at the correct place, displacement of the wild type gene through reverse recombination did not occur. An attempt to test amber suppression in H. volcanii was carried out. The hisC(Am) gene was introduced into the genome of a mutant strain of H. volcanii WR256 (his⁻, arg⁻) with the antibiotic selection marker mevinolin. The transformants were then transformed again with a plasmid that carries the putative amber suppressor (the tRNATY1 gene with the mutated amber anticodon) and the other antibiotic selection marker novobiocin. Transformants were then selected with both antibiotics and then tested for restoration of histidine auxotrophy. All transformants still required histidine for growth. Southern hybridization showed that the hisC(Am) gene was not integrated into the genome. Mevinolin resistance in the transformants was due to a double crossover recombination event of the antibiotic resistance gene into the genome to replace the wild type gene. Therefore I was not able to conclude whether amber suppression can occur in H.volcanii or not.

description: We present high spatial resolution radio and near-infrared hydrogen recombination line observations of the southern massive star-forming region G333.6-0.2. The 3.4-cm continuum peak is found slightly offset from the infrared source. The H90alpha spectra show for the first time a double peak profile at some positions. The complex velocity structure may be accounted for by champagne outflows, which may also explain the offset between the radio and infrared sources. The 2.17-um Brackett gamma image and H90alpha map are combined to construct an extinction map which shows a trend probably set by the blister nature of the HII region. The total number of Lyman continuum photons in the central 50-arcsec is estimated to be equivalent to that emitted by up to 19 O7V stars.

Καταλήγοντας κατά αυτό τον τρόπο σε συμπεράσματα άκρως ενδιαφέροντα για μας και πιθανώς πηγή έμπνευσης για περαιτέρω έρευνα.
description: The aim of this thesis is to study experimentally and theoretically materials and structures using Nanoindenter. These materials are important in various fields of our daily life, such as technology, industry, medicine and others. This thesis contributes the promotion of research providing new insights on issues previously identified, and also gives ideas for the production of new products. During this thesis, in the first phase we have shared two theoretical approaches that we can explain the indendation size effect (ISE), which observed during nanoindentation using conical and spherical indenters, with the help of Aifantis gradient plasticity theory. Then we performed four experimental series in materials and structures such as silicon wafers, nanocomposite dental materials and structures based on ITO with nanoindenter having each time different aim. In conclusion we came up with rather interesting results which will most probably lead the way for upcoming reflections for a more in depth research on this subject.

description: We investigate an idealized model for the size reduction and smoothing of a polygonal rock due to repeated chipping at corners. Each chip is sufficiently small so that only a single corner and a fraction of its two adjacent sides are cut from the object in a single chipping event. After many chips have been cut away, the resulting shape of the rock is generally anisotropic, with facet lengths and corner angles distributed over a broad range. Although a well-defined shape is quickly reached for each realization, there are large fluctuations between realizations.
