description: We describe the instrumentation and detection software and characterize the detection efficiency of an automated, all-sky, southern-hemisphere search for Kuiper Belt objects brighter than R mag 21.4. The search relies on Yale University's 160-Megapixel QUEST camera, previously used for successful surveys at Palomar that detected most of the distant dwarf planets, and now installed on the ESO 1.0-m Schmidt telescope at La Silla, Chile. Extensive upgrades were made to the telescope control system to support automation, and significant improvements were made to the camera. To date, 63 new KBOs have been discovered, including a new member of the Haumea collision family (2009 YE7) and a new distant object with inclination exceeding 70 deg (2010 WG9). In a survey covering ~7500 deg2, we have thus far detected 77 KBOs and Centaurs, more than any other full-hemisphere search to date. Using a pattern of dithered pointings, we demonstrate a search efficiency exceeding 80%. We are currently on track to complete the southern-sky survey and detect any bright KBOs that have eluded detection from the north.

Glucocorticoid modulation of the mesocortical dopamine system and aspects of executive function
Creators: name: Butts, Kelly Ann
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Enhanced dopamine efflux in the medial prefrontal cortex is a well-documented response to acute stress and is associated with deficits in cognitive performance. However, the underlying mechanism(s) for this response is unknown. The mesocortical dopamine system is comprised of dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area that receive excitatory input from and send reciprocal projections to the medial prefrontal cortex. We hypothesize that glucocorticoid receptors in the medial prefrontal cortex modulate the activity of this descending glutamatergic input to the ventral tegmental area during stress. Using in vivo microdialysis, we demonstrate that blocking glucocorticoid receptors locally within the rat medial prefrontal cortex, but not in the ventral tegmental area, attenuates mesocortical dopamine efflux to acute tail-pinch stress. Acute stress leads to a significant increase in glutamate release in the ventral tegmental area that is prevented by blockade of glucocorticoid receptors in the medial prefrontal cortex. The functional impact of enhanced mesocortical dopamine efflux evoked by acute stress was demonstrated using cognitive tasks measuring executive function. Exposure to acute tail-pinch stress selectively impaired performance on a working memory and set-shifting task. Conversely, performance on a non-delayed random foraging or reversal learning task that do not require the medial prefrontal cortex were unaffected by stress. Notably, stress-induced impairments in working memory were attenuated by blockade of glucocorticoid receptors in the medial prefrontal cortex. Taken together, these data suggest that glucocorticoids act locally within the medial prefrontal cortex to modulate mesocortical dopamine efflux by potentiation of glutamatergic drive onto dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area leading to the executive function impairments observed during acute stress.

description: The properties of impurities immersed in a large Fermi sea are naturally described in terms of dressed quasiparticles: attractive and repulsive polarons, and dressed molecules. Motivated by recent experiments on narrow Feshbach resonances, we analyze here how the quasiparticle properties are affected by a non-zero resonance range. We find two interesting analytic results. For large range, the ground state energy close to resonance is shown to become perturbative in the inverse range. In the limit of broad resonance instead, we provide a new Tan's relation linking the impurity ground state energy $E_\downarrow$ to the number of atoms in its dressing cloud $ΔN$. As a corollary, at unitarity one finds $ΔN=-E_\downarrow/ε_F $, with $ε_F$ the Fermi energy of the bath.

description: The q-Gaussian distribution results from maximizing certain generalizations of Shannon entropy under some constraints. The importance of q-Gaussian distributions stems from the fact that they exhibit power-law behavior, and also generalize Gaussian distributions. In this paper, we propose a Smoothed Functional (SF) scheme for gradient estimation using q-Gaussian distribution, and also propose an algorithm for optimization based on the above scheme. Convergence results of the algorithm are presented. Performance of the proposed algorithm is shown by simulation results on a queuing model.

Regulation of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 In intimal-type arterial smooth muscle cells
Creators: name: Pannu, Parveer Singh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The removal of cholesterol from cells and formation of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles is critically dependent on the membrane lipid transporter ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1). Previous studies from the Francis laboratory have determined that the regulation of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) expression is impaired in model intimal-type arterial smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and human intimal SMCs in atherosclerotic coronary arteries, providing a novel explanation for cholesterol accumulation and foam cell formation in human atheroma. Growing evidence appears to emphasize the importance of the lysosomal-mitochondrial oxysterol pathway in regulating ABCA1 expression. We hypothesized that the reduced expression of ABCA1 in model intimal-type arterial SMCs is due to impaired enzyme sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27A1) expression, resulting in impaired oxysterol production critical for the activation of ABCA1 gene expression via the Liver X receptor (LXR) pathway. Our results show that intimal-type arterial SMCs exhibit a reduced expression of CYP27A1 mRNA and protein. Exogenous treatment of these cells with LXR agonists increases ABCA1 expression, indicating an intact LXR-mediated activation of ABCA1 gene expression. Despite successful transfection of CYP27A1 in these SMCs, intimal-type arterial SMCs do not increase their expression of ABCA1. The expression of steroidogenic acute regulatory protein D1 (StARD1), responsible for the delivery of cholesterol to CYP27A1, is also reduced in intima-type SMCs. We also show preliminary results of reduced human arterial intimal SMC-specific CYP27A1 expression in coronary arteries with native atherosclerosis. The findings of this thesis provide a narrative highlighting the importance of the intracellular transport of cholesterol via StaRD1 to CYP27A1 for the activation of LXR-dependent ABCA1 expression in arterial SMCs, and provide further insight into the dysregulation of ABCA1 expression in human atherosclerotic arterial SMCs that may contribute to the foam cell population and subsequent plaque formation in human atherogenesis.

The separate heavy quark spin symmetries strongly constrain the matrix elements, leading to single form factors for $ccb\to ccc$, $bbc\to ccb$, and $bbb\to bbc$ baryon decays. We also study the effects on these systems of using a $Y$-shaped confinement potential, as suggested by lattice QCD results for the interaction between three static quarks.

description: We performed the renormalization group analysis of the quantum Einstein gravity in the deep infrared regime for different types of extensions of the model. It is shown that an attractive infrared point exists in the broken symmetric phase of the model. It is also shown that due to the Gaussian fixed point the IR critical exponent $ν$ of the correlation length is 1/2. However, there exists a certain extension of the model which gives finite correlation length in the broken symmetric phase. It typically appears in case of models possessing a first order phase transitions as is demonstrated on the example of the scalar field theory with a Coleman-Weinberg potential.

Altared places : the reuse of urban churches as loft living in the post-secular and post-industrial city
Creators: name: Lynch, Nicholas Andrew
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: In recent years, numerous mainline Christian denominations throughout Canada have sold their places of worship in the real estate market in response to changes in religious membership and participation. At the same time a growing demand for creative residential spaces by a group of the new middle class encourages the redevelopment of churches into upscale lofts, a practice connected to but divergent from the post-industrial loft living made popular in cities like New York. In this thesis I explore how the reuse of churches as lofts represents a unique but conflict-laden terrain of private urban redevelopment. With an empirical focus on Toronto, I draw on the literatures of religious change, heritage policy, and gentrification theory to illustrate how ‘redundant’ worship spaces are appropriated and transformed into private domestic spaces of commodified religion and heritage. Rebuilt as ‘cool’ but exclusive places to live, I argue that church lofts are part of a secular embourgeoisement of the central city, a process that increasingly remakes the city as a place of capital reinvestment, middle class colonization and social upgrading. My central method involves semi-structured interviews with individuals from both the supply and demand side of the church loft market. On the supply side, interviews are drawn from faith groups, heritage policy makers, and urban developers. This data provides insight into why and how religious groups divest in their properties; the impacts of heritage policy on the reuse of inner city landscapes; and the practices of developers in producing and selling new terrains of loft living. On the demand side, I interview loft owners to give testimony to their real estate and lifestyle desires and explore how their decisions in the loft market help produce terrains of exclusivity and gentrification. Drawing on comparisons to Montreal and London (UK), my findings show that church reuse in Toronto need not solely focus on private loft development alone. Rather, I conclude that varying systems of ownership supported by multiple stakeholders can create a public future for redundant worship spaces, a practice that could provide much needed community and public space in the inner city.

description: It is pointed out that in a general class of flavour models one can identify certain universally present FCNC operators, induced by the exchange of heavy flavour messengers. Their coefficients depend on the rotation angles that connect flavour and fermion mass basis. The lower bounds on the messenger scale are derived using updated experimental constraints on the FCNC operators. The obtained bounds are different for different operators and in addition they depend on the chosen set of rotations. Given the sensitivity expected in the forthcoming experiments, the present analysis suggests interesting room for discovering new physics. As the highlights emerge the leptonic processes, $μ\rightarrow eγ$, $μ\rightarrow eee$ and $μ\rightarrow e$ conversion in nuclei.

description: Let $M(d,χ)$ be the moduli space of semistable sheaves of rank 0, Euler characteristic $χ$ and first Chern class $dH (d>0)$, with $H$ the hyperplane class in $\mathbb{P}^2$. We give a description of $M(d,χ)$, viewing each sheaf as a class of matrices with entries in $\bigoplus_{i\geq0}H^0(\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^2}(i))$. We show that there is a big open subset of $M(d,1)$ isomorphic to a projective bundle over an open subset of a Hilbert scheme of points on $\mathbb{P}^2.$ Finally we compute the classes of M(4,1), M(5,1) and M(5,2) in the Grothendieck group of varieties, especially we conclude that M(5,1) and M(5,2) are of the same class.

Atomic representations in function spaces and applications to pointwise multipliers and diffeomorphisms, a new approach

description: In Chapter 4 of [25] Triebel proved two theorems concerning pointwise multipliers and diffeomorphisms in function spaces of Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin type. In each case he presented two approaches, one via atoms and one via local means. While the approach via atoms was very satisfactory concerning the length and simplicity, only the rather technical approach via local means proved the theorems in full generality. In this paper we generalize two extensions of these atomic decompositions, one by Skrzypczak (see [22]) and one by Triebel and Winkelvoss (see [30]) so that we are able to give a short proof using atomic representations getting an even more general result than in the two theorems in [25].

description: By now diverse movements of the 1960s such as the «Viennese Actionism» and predecessors (in the broadest sense) like the «literarische cabarets» of the so called «Wiener Gruppe» in 1958/59 are well documented and established in Austria’s cultural history. Other groups, art performances and happenings seem to be of marginal historical significance, probably because no chronicler has defined their sphere of influence. This essay investigates action theatre groups, happenings and similar movements initiated by the Austrian poets Wolfgang Bauer and Joe Berger in the 1960s and 1970s and points out their historical relevance.

description: The recently BaBar results raise the possibility that X(3872) has negative parity. This makes people reconsider assigning X(3872) to the $1{^1D_2}(c\bar c)$ state. In this paper we give a general form of the wave function of $2^{-+}$ mesons. By solving the instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter equation, we get the mass spectrum and corresponding wave functions. We calculate electromagnetic decay widths of the first $2^{-+}$ state which we assume to be the X(3872) particle. The results are $Γ(2^{-+}(3872)\rightarrow J/ψγ) = 1.59^{+0.53}_{-0.42}$ keV, $Γ(2^{-+}(3872)\rightarrow ψ(2S)γ) = 2.87^{+1.46}_{-0.97}$ eV and $Γ(2^{-+}(3872)\rightarrow ψ(3770)γ) = 0.135^{+0.066}_{-0.047}$ keV. The ratio of branch fractions of the second and first channel is about 0.002, which is inconsistent with the experimental value $3.4\pm 1.4$. So X(3872) is unlikely to be a $2^{-+}$ charmonium state. In addition, we obtain a relatively large decay width for $2^{-+}(3872)\rightarrow h_cγ$ channel which is $392^{+62}_{-111}$ keV.

description: Our study at the Centre for Research Excellence in Disability and Health compared the housing circumstances of people with and without disabilities in Australia prior to the implementation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). In our analysis of survey data, originally published in the Journal of Disability and Society, from the nationally-representative Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey, we found that 11.2 per cent of Australians with disability were living in unaffordable housing compared to 7.6 per cent of people without disability.

This was substantially higher for those with intellectual disability (19.1 per cent) and psychosocial impairments (17.3 per cent). We also found that people with disabilities experienced poor-quality housing and much higher rates of dissatisfaction with their homes and the neighbourhoods in which they live.

description: The entanglement between two arbitrary subsystems of random pure states is studied via properties of the density matrix's partial transpose, $ρ_{12}^{T_2}$. The density of states of $ρ_{12}^{T_2}$ is close to the semicircle law when both subsystems have dimensions which are not too small and are of the same order. A simple random matrix model for the partial transpose is found to capture the entanglement properties well, including a transition across a critical dimension. Log-negativity is used to quantify entanglement between subsystems and analytic formulas for this are derived based on the simple model. The skewness of the eigenvalue density of $ρ_{12}^{T_2}$ is derived analytically, using the average of the third moment over the ensemble of random pure states. The third moment after partial transpose is also shown to be related to a generalization of the Kempe invariant. The smallest eigenvalue after partial transpose is found to follow the extreme value statistics of random matrices, namely the Tracy-Widom distribution. This distribution, with relevant parameters obtained from the model, is found to be useful in calculating the fraction of entangled states at critical dimensions. These results are tested in a quantum dynamical system of three coupled standard maps, where one finds that if the parameters represent a strongly chaotic system, the results are close to those of random states, although there are some systematic deviations at critical dimensions.

description: In the present study, a lab-scale microwave reactor was used to conduct the esterification and transesterification of dairy scum oil (DSO). The optimum parameters for acid-catalysed esterification were microwave power–600 W, molar ratio of methanol to FFA–30:1, temperature of reaction–60°C, concentration of sulphuric acid–8 wt%, while the optimum parameters for transesterification were temperature– 60°C, microwave power – 600 W, molar ratio of methanol to DSO– 7:1, concentration of KOH – 1 wt%. Experiments conducted under optimum conditions in the microwave reactor revealed that the highest conversion of FFA was 93.63% (reaction time – 16 min), while the highest yield of FAMEs in transesterification was 93.47% (reaction time – 5 min). Kinetic studies conducted in the microwave reactor demonstrated that esterification and transesterification followed pseudo-first-order kinetics.

description: When searching for gravitational waves in the data from ground-based gravitational wave detectors it is common to use a detection threshold to reduce the number of background events which are unlikely to be the signals of interest. However, imposing such a threshold will also discard some real signals with low amplitude, which can potentially bias any inferences drawn from the population of detected signals. We show how this selection bias is naturally avoided by using the full information from the search, considering both the selected data and our ignorance of the data that are thrown away, and considering all relevant signal and noise models. This approach produces unbiased estimates of parameters even in the presence of false alarms and incomplete data. This can be seen as an extension of previous methods into the high false rate regime where we are able to show that the quality of parameter inference can be optimised by lowering thresholds and increasing the false alarm rate.

description: In recent years, one of the most interesting developments in quantum mechanics has been the construction of new exactly solvable potentials connected with the appearance of families of exceptional orthogonal polynomials (EOP) in mathematical physics. In contrast with families of (Jacobi, Laguerre and Hermite) classical orthogonal polynomials, which start with a constant, the EOP families begin with some polynomial of degree greater than or equal to one, but still form complete, orthogonal sets with respect to some positive-definite measure. We show how they may appear in the bound-state wavefunctions of some rational extensions of well-known exactly solvable quantum potentials. Such rational extensions are most easily constructed in the framework of supersymmetric quantum mechanics (SUSYQM), where they give rise to a new class of translationally shape invariant potentials. We review the most recent results in this field, which use higher-order SUSYQM. We also comment on some recent re-examinations of the shape invariance condition, which are independent of the EOP construction problem.

subject: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This project studies the nonverbal aspects of Mandarin Chinese interaction with focus on the communicative and pragmatic functions of nonverbal actions used in interaction. Their functions are examined through an emic approach of analysis, drawing on theories and findings from nonverbal communication (NVC) and conversation analysis (CA), pragmatics and social psychology. -- Natural occurring audio-video data were collected from eighteen adult dyads who were studying and working at three universities in Beijing, P. R. China and one dyad studying at Macquarie University in Sydney. A typology of Mandarin Chinese NVC is proposed and nonverbal actions are examined with reference to the cultural context in which they are executed. Mandarin words and phrases relevant to those nonverbal actions are used to retain their cultural meanings. Some of them are diǎntóu "head nods", wēixiào "gentle smile", zhùshì "gaze", shoǔchù "touching", shǒushì "hand gesture". Their nonverbal forms and functions in Mandarin context are also discussed with reference to established categorization of emblems, illustrators, regulators, adaptors and emotional expressions. Nonverbal actions zhùshì "gaze", diǎntóu "head nod", wēixiào "gentle smile" and shǒuchù "hand touch" can be used as nonverbal affiliative devices. Gaze-away/down, weixiao "gentle smiling" and some shoushi "hand gestures" are executed for the purpose of nonverbal miànzi "face" including self-face saving and Other-face saving strategies and lǐmào "politeness" in interpersonal communication. Finally, participants' status can also impose impact on the nonverbal cues displayed. Low-status use more forward lean, zhùshì "gaze", and diǎntóu "head nod" due to listening-centeredness while high-status employ more spacious hand gestures and backward lean while speaking. Studies of natural audio-video data indicate that nonverbal cues displayed in Mandarin Chinese conversational context conform to the Chinese cultural values and norms. -- The knowledge and understanding of the nonverbal cues displayed in Mandarin Chinese conversation and their communicative and pragmatic functions dealt with in this thesis are essential to those engaged in communication with Chinese speakers.

description: We analyse the stability and dynamics of an ion chain confined inside a high-finesse optical resonator. When the dipolar transition of the ions strongly couples to one cavity mode, the mechanical effects of light modify the chain properties close to a structural transition. We focus on the linear chain close to the zigzag instability and show that linear and zigzag arrays are bistable for certain strengths of the laser pumping the cavity. For these regimes the chain is cooled into one of the configurations by cavity-enhanced photon scattering. The excitations of these structures mix photonic and vibrational fluctuations, which can be entangled at steady state. These features are signalled by Fano-like resonances in the spectrum of light at the cavity output.

Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano

description: This essay focuses on two contemporary poems and illustrates both the possibilities and the difficulties of a scholarly reading. Since both poems resist a hermeneutic approach, the essay combines a structural analysis with different poststructural perspectives in the light of concepts proposed by scholars like Derrida, Lacan and Foucault. Instead of trying to understand the “meaning” of the texts, this essay describes the poetic strategies the poems use to evoke an atmosphere of wideness and permeability (Waterhouse) and to create an autonomous poetic reality beyond linguistic standards and logical norms (Egger).

Musil’s «On Stupidity». The Artistic and Ethical Uses of the Feminine Discursive
Creators: name: Grill, Genese
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2013

description: Robert Musil’s 1937 address «Über die Dummheit» navigated a challenging subject in a treacherous climate for free speech and simultaneously affirmed Musil’s conception of the necessary symbiosis of aesthetics and ethics. This paper argues for a reading of the address and its preparatory notes wherein Musil’s gendered «Stupidity» (Die Dummheit) represents the ethical role of the artist, as poetic, non-conscripted voice – and, thus, of Musil himself – in a period of totalitarian brutality and linear «final solutions».

“Möglichkeiten einer Geschichte”. Erzählte Kontingenz in Christoph Ransmayrs «Die Schrecken des Eises und der Finsternis» (1984)
Creators: name: Peter, Nina
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2013

description: Drawing on the concept of contingency this paper aims at analyzing Ransmayr’s concept of fictional and historiographical narrative as it is formulated in his first novel and later poetological texts. Ransmayr’s “geographical poetics” is also explored. In his text Geständnisse eines Touristen (2004) Ransmayr describes the process of writing by developing a whole network of geographical metaphors. These can be read in connection to Die Schrecken des Eises und der Finsternis, which, as a novel about travel and writing, seems to be an important resource for Ransmayr’s later theoretical text.

Monoidal algebraic model structures

description: Extending previous work, we define monoidal algebraic model structures and give examples. The main structural component is what we call an algebraic Quillen two-variable adjunction; the principal technical work is to develop the category theory necessary to characterize them. Our investigations reveal an important role played by "cellularity" - loosely, the property of a cofibration being a relative cell complex, not simply a retract of such - which we particularly emphasize. A main result is a simple criterion which shows that algebraic Quillen two-variable adjunctions correspond precisely to cell structures on the pushout-products of generating (trivial) cofibrations. As a corollary, we discover that the familiar monoidal model structures on categories and simplicial sets admit this extra algebraic structure.

A study on the structure of paper : the links between paper and fibre properties
Creators: name: Fernandez Madrigal, Francisco J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The work shown in this thesis, focuses on the effects of fibre geometry (fibre length, width and coarseness) to the paper strength and bulk. It is believed that fibre networks, for a given furnish, can be optimized through fractionation to create a stronger and bulkier paper. A first set of experiments was performed to determine the correlations among fibre properties of a softwood kraft pulp furnish. The fibre properties were measured using a Fibre Quality Analyzer (FQA). Coarseness (ω) and width (D) were found to increase linearly with length (Lf ). These correlations are thought to be influenced by the tree species and the pulping process. A second set of experiments was aimed to determine empirical expressions of bulk and tensile index (TI) in terms of the fibre geometry distribution (ω, Lf and D) and the press-drying pressure (P). Bulk and TI was measured for handsheets made at different pressures from different size distributions. These distributions were created by a combination of fractionation on a Bauer McNett Classifier (BMC) and fibre cutting. The determined relations show agreement with experimental work from other researchers. In order to provide insight into the causes of such behavior, simulations of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) random networks were performed. Matlab was used to write the simulation codes. Mechanical response of fibres (affected by the fibre geometry) to the forces induced by drying or pressure is not considered directly in the simulations. However, 2D simulation models are a good representation of high press-drying conditions and high fibre flexibility, whereas 3D models are better predicting air-dried (low pressure) paper made from fibres of high rigidity. Geometric statistics of random networks explain some of the experimental observations. The statistical outputs of the 2D simulations were; network coverage (c), network thickness (τN), number of fibre crossings (NC) and the relative bonded area (RBA). In the case of 3D simulations, only τN was determined. The 2D and 3D outputs were measured for different fibre size distributions (Lf, D and ω).
