The ambivalence of religion within the framework of secular humanism : the case of faith-based humanitarian organizations
Creators: name: Gres, Dijana
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This paper intends to explore the complex and often implicit relationship between religion, humanitarianism and secularized politics. The research consists of two major parts. The first chapter analyzes the theoretical approaches to the role of religion and faith-based decision-making in modern international politics. It does that by discussing three particular topics: the neglected connection between religion and IR scholarship, major theories of secularization, and the influences of religion on international politics. The second chapter intends to move the research from the level of philosophical and abstract towards more practical levels of analysis. It focuses on the issue of faith-based humanitarianism and the substantial role faith-based organizations play in international politics. The research points to two related conclusions. First, while acknowledging that secular humanism is a historic civilizational achievement, it can be argued that it is impossible and misleading to strive for clear-cut segregation of religious and secular spheres of life. Second, faith-based humanitarianism is one of the phenomena which increasingly challenge this artificial dichotomy between the sacred and the secular by bringing religion back into public discourse. The paper does not suggest that the dominant paradigm of international relations be abandoned. It rather calls for its modification in order to account for religion which norms and values can be used to support the existing regime of human rights and institutions. Faith-based organizations should be thus seen as a potential channel leading towards the reconciliation of the sacred and the secular.
On the apsidal-motion of thirteen eclipsing binaries

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Main aim of this paper is the first light curve and apsidal motion analysis of thirteen eccentric eclipsing binaries and to reveal their basic physical properties. All of the systems were studied by method of period analysis of times of minima and the light curve analysis. Many new times of minima for all of the systems were derived and collected from the data obtained by the automatic, robotic or satellite telescopes. This allow us to study the apsidal motion in these systems in detail for the first time. From the light curve analysis the first rough estimations of the physical properties of these systems were done. The analyzed systems undergo an apsidal motion with the following periods in years: AR CMa (44 +/- 10), OZ Hya (117 +/- 53), V498 Mon (62 +/- 4), V521 Mon (217 +/- 37), V684 Mon (74.5 +/- 20), V730 Mon (39 +/- 12), GV Nor (197 +/- 67), NS Nor (516 +/- 230), TZ Pyx (157 +/- 37), V385 Sco (1926 +/- 980), V629 Sco (56 +/- 17), V881 Sco (131 +/- 48), V1082 Sco (186 +/- 280). Also 190 new minima times were derived and included. The period and light curve analyses were done, however a more detailed spectroscopic analysis is needed to confirm the physical parameters of the components with higher conclusiveness.

description: New Crystal Barrel data are reported for pbar-p -> omega-pizero and pbar-p -> omega eta-pizero with omega decaying to piplus-piminus-pizero. The shapes of angular distributions agree well with those for data where omega -> pizero-gamma; this is a valuable cross-check on systematic errors. The new data provide good measurements of vector and tensor polarisations P_y, T20, T21 and T22 of the omega. These lead to significant improvements in parameters of several resonances reported earlier. New values of masses and widths (in Mev) are: J^PC = 5^-- (2300+-45, 260+-75), J^PC = 3^-- (2260+-20, 160+-25), J^PC = 1^+- (2240+-35, 320+-85), and J^PC = 1^-- (2110+-35, 230+-50). A remarkable feature of the data is that vector polarisation P_y is close to zero everywhere. It follows that all interfering amplitudes have relative phases close to 0 or 180 deg. Tensor polarisations are large.

Detailed Balance Condition and Effective Free Energy in the Primitive Chain Network Model

description: We consider statistical mechanical properties of the primitive chain network (PCN) model for entangled polymers from its dynamic equations. We show that the dynamic equation for the segment number of the PCN model does not reduce to the standard Langevin equation which satisfies the detailed balance condition. We propose heuristic modifications for the PCN dynamic equation for the segment number, to make it reduce to the standard Langevin equation. We analyse some equilibrium statistical properties of the modified PCN model, by using the effective free energy obtained from the modified PCN dynamic equations. The PCN effective free energy can be interpreted as the sum of the ideal Gaussian chain free energy and the repulsive interaction energy between slip-links. By using the single chain approximation, we calculate several distribution functions of the PCN model. The obtained distribution functions are qualitatively different from ones for the simple slip-link model without any direct interactions between slip-links.

description: We explain how the field of logarithmic-exponential series constructed in \cite{DMM1} and \cite {DMM2} embeds as an exponential field in any field of exponential-logarithmic series constructed in \cite{KK1}, \cite {K} and \cite {KS}. On the other hand, we explain why no field of exponential-logarithmic series embeds in the field of logarithmic-exponential series. This clarifies why the two constructions are intrinsically different, in the sense that they produce non-isomorphic models of Th$(\R_{an, exp})$; the elementary theory of the ordered field of real numbers, with the exponential function and restricted analytic functions.
Small mammal abundance, habitat selection, and movement patterns in shrub-steppe habitat in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley
Creators: name: Melaschenko, Natalie Christina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study determines the role of vegetation in shaping individual habitat use, tortuosity of movement patterns and patterns of population density of western harvest mice (Reithrodontomys megalotis), Great Basin pocket mice (Perognathus parvus) and deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley. The former two mice are considered at risk in British Columbia due to loss or alteration of native habitat by human development and invasive species such as cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum). The objectives of this study were: 1) to determine the effects of cheatgrass on small mammal abundance and habitat use; 2) to use fractal analyses of path tortuosity to assess the spatial scales at which mice perceive their environment and; 3) to determine the role of vegetation and population density in shaping movement patterns. Trapping and tracking were conducted in 2008 in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia at the northern reaches of the Great Basin ecosystem on 12 sites spanning a gradient of cheatgrass cover. Habitat use and movement patterns were delineated by powdering mice with fluorescent pigment and following their trails. In the fall, the average population density per 1-hectare site was 18.0 ± 4.5 Great Basin pocket mice, 0.21 ± 0.08 deer mice and 0.08 ± 0.02 western harvest mice, while in the summer only Great Basin pocket mice were trapped (8.71 ± 3.20). Cheatgrass invasion ranged from 1 to 18 % cover. Cheatgrass abundance was not correlated with the population density of any small mammal species. In the summer, bare ground and shrub cover best-predicted Great Basin pocket mouse density, while in the fall bare ground alone was the best predictor. Great Basin pocket mice selected bare, open habitat. Vegetation was avoided with the exception of annual grasses, mainly comprised of cheatgrass, which Great Basin pocket mice selected. Bare ground in combination with cheatgrass may have provided optimal habitat for movement. Great Basin pocket mouse path tortuosity increased with vegetation cover and population density and decreased with open habitat. The fractal dimension of movement pathways was consistent over the spatial scales measured in this study.
The Super-Eddington Nature of Super Massive Stars

description: Supermassive stars (SMS) are massive hydrogen objects, slowly radiating their gravitational binding energy. Such hypothetical primordial objects may have been the seed of the massive black holes (BHs) observed at the centre of galaxies. Under the standard picture, these objects can be approximately described as n=3 polytropes, and they are expected to shine extremely close to their Eddington luminosity. Once however, one considers the porosity induced by instabilities near the Eddington limit, which give rise to super-Eddington states, the standard picture should be modified. We study the structure, evolution and mass loss of these objects. We find the following. First, the evolution of SMSs is hastened due to their increased energy release. They accelerate continuum driven winds. If there is no rotational stabilization, these winds are insufficient to "evaporate" the objects, such that they can collapse to form a supermassive BHs, however, they do prevent SMSs from emitting a copious amount of ionizing radiation. If the SMSs are rotationally stabilized, the winds "evaporate" the objects until a normal sub-Eddington star remains, having a mass of a few 100Msun.

description: This paper provides a narrative review of the factors that influence foreign direct investment (FDI) in an economy. The articles relied on to assist in this regard were from relevant literature gotten through the search of published studies in major databases, namely Scopus, Google Scholar, DOAJ, Science Direct, and Semantic Scholar, using keywords such as foreign direct investment determinant, economic growth, and development. Articles published after 2005 were mainly included in the study. The study identified some variables that determine FDI uptake and highlighted that factors influencing FDI differ as one moves from one place to another, especially when these areas are not at par in terms of development. Trade openness, gross domestic product (GDP) growth, natural resources, political stability, the regulatory framework, market size, corruption levels, human capital levels, and inflation appear to be the main factors influencing FDI inflows. Other factors are the exchange rate, corporate governance, and tax incentives, among others.

description: Uncovering the physics of electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) is the raison-d'etre of the LHC. Flavor questions, it would seem, are of minor relevance for this quest, apart from their role in constraining the possible structure of EWSB physics. In this short review article, we outline, using flavor-dependent sleptons as an example, how flavor can affect both searches for supersymmetry, and future measurements aimed at understanding the nature of any new discoveries. If the production cross-sections for supersymmetry are relatively low, as indicated by the fact that it has not revealed itself yet in standard searches, the usual assumptions about the superpartner spectra need re-thinking. Furthermore, one must consider more intricate searches, such as lepton-based searches, which could be susceptible to flavor effects. We start by reviewing the flavor structure of existing frameworks for mediating supersymmetry breaking, emphasizing flavor-dependent models proposed recently. We use the kinematic endpoints of invariant mass distributions to demonstrate how flavor dependence can impact both searches for supersymmetry and the Inverse Problem. We also discuss methods for measuring small-mass splittings and mixings at the LHC, both in models with a neutralino LSP and in models with a charged slepton (N)LSP.

description: We use a version of the density functional theory to study the changes in the height of the tethered layer of chains built of jointed spherical segments with the change of the length and surface density of chains. For the model in which the interactions between segments and solvent molecules are the same as between solvent molecules we have discovered two effects that have not been observed in previous studies. Under certain conditions and for low surface concentrations of the chains, the height of the pinned layer may attain a minimum. Moreover, for some systems we observe that when the temperature increases, the height of the layer of chains may decrease.

description: Although there are criteria based on research, the attainment of high-quality diabetes care is not always accomplished. Identifying the elements linked to the quality of management in primary care can provide valuable insights for enhancing services. This can help in customizing quality improvement initiatives to meet the specific needs and resources of different practices. The proficiency and implementation of primary care physicians in regards to diabetes screening, diagnosis, and treatment were below the desired standard. During the initial stages of treatment, physicians demonstrated adequate knowledge in areas such as determining the appropriate timing to initiate medication and selecting the initial treatment approach. However, their knowledge and performance fell short of expectations during the follow-up and more advanced stages of treatment. Their preference is to direct patients to higher tiers within the healthcare system. Recently, professionals who have just completed their medical training shown superior understanding and a more effective strategy to managing diabetes mellitus. Hence, it is vital to promptly carry out efficient recurring training to tackle this drawback and enhance the standard of service.

description: It has recently been proposed that ${}^{92}_{41}$Nb and ${}^{98}_{43}$Tc may have been formed in the $ν$-process. We investigate the neutrino induced reactions related to the $ν$-process origin of the two odd-odd nuclei. The main neutrino reactions for ${}^{92}_{41}$Nb are the charged-current (CC) $^{92}$Zr($ν_e,e^{-}$)$^{92}$Nb and the neutral-current (NC) $^{93}$Nb($ν ({\bar ν}), ν^{'} ({\bar ν})^{'}$ n)$^{92}$Nb reactions. The main reactions for ${}^{98}_{43}$Tc, are the CC reaction $^{98}$Mo($ν_e,e^-$)$^{98}$Tc and the NC reaction $^{99}$Ru($ν ({\bar ν}), ν^{'} ({\bar ν})^{'}$ p)$^{98}$Tc. Our calculations are carried out using the quasi-particle random phase approximation. Numerical results are presented for the energy and temperature dependent cross sections. Since charge exchange reactions by neutrons may also lead to the formation of ${}^{92}_{41}$Nb and ${}^{98}_{43}$Tc, we discuss the feasibility of the $^{92}$Mo(n,p)$^{92}$Nb and $^{98}$Ru(n,p)$^{98}$Tc reactions to produce these nuclei.

description: Differential privacy is the state-of-the-art definition for privacy, guaranteeing that any analysis performed on a sensitive dataset leaks no information about the individuals whose data are contained therein. In this thesis, we develop differentially private algorithms to analyze distributed and streaming data. In the distributed model, we consider the particular problem of learning -- in a distributed fashion -- a global model of the data, that can subsequently be used for arbitrary analyses. We build upon PrivBayes, a differentially private method that approximates the high-dimensional distribution of a centralized dataset as a product of low-order distributions, utilizing a Bayesian Network model. We examine three novel approaches to learning a global Bayesian Network from distributed data, while offering the differential privacy guarantee to all local datasets. Our work includes a detailed theoretical analysis of the distributed, differentially private entropy estimator which we use in one of our algorithms, as well as a detailed experimental evaluation, using both synthetic and real-world data. In the streaming model, we focus on the problem of estimating the density of a stream of users, which expresses the fraction of all users that actually appear in the stream. We offer one of the strongest privacy guarantees for the streaming model, user-level pan-privacy, which ensures that the privacy of any user is protected, even against an adversary that observes the internal state of the algorithm. We provide a detailed analysis of an existing, sampling-based algorithm for the problem and propose two novel modifications that significantly improve it, both theoretically and experimentally, by optimally using all the allocated "privacy budget."

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It is believed that turbulence may have a significant impact on star formation and the dynamics and evolution of the molecular clouds in which this occurs. It is also known that non-ideal magnetohydrodynamic effects influence the nature of this turbulence. We present the results of a numerical study of 4-fluid MHD turbulence in which the dynamics of electrons, ions, charged dust grains and neutrals and their interactions are followed. The parameters describing the fluid being simulated are based directly on observations of molecular clouds. We find that the velocity and magnetic field power spectra are strongly influenced by multifluid effects on length-scales at least as large as 0.05 pc. The PDFs of the various species in the system are all found to be close to log-normal, with charged species having a slightly less platykurtic (flattened) distribution than the neutrals. We find that the introduction of multifluid effects does not significantly alter the structure functions of the centroid velocity increment.

Three-dimensional flow through forming fabrics and the motion of flexible fibres in flow
Creators: name: Vakil, Ali
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This dissertation addresses the 3D flow through forming fabrics. In the first part of this thesis, the single phase 3D flow through certain specific fabrics was modeled. In practice, the Reynolds number of the fabric flow, based on paper-side filament diameter, is around 100. Consequently, it is not too surprising that the permeability of the fabrics was found to vary approximately as Re ⁻⁰˙⁴, which is intermediate between the expected low Re (Re⁻¹) and high Re (Re⁰) limits. The resistance of a multilayer fabric was found to be nearly equal to the sum of the resistance of each layer considered in isolation. The effect of filament-scale and weave-scale flow non-uniformity on the fiber distribution in the finished paper was considered. For one specific fabric, there was 3 times more chance for short fibers to accumulate initially over openings than blockages of the fabric. Jet-to-wire speed ratio was found to have an insignificant effect on permeability results, but a marked effect on the Machine Direction shear stress in the vicinity of the paper-side filaments. In an attempt to model sheet formation, numerical simulations of the motion of a single fiber in the flow field of a cylinder was carried out as a canonical test case of the fiber/filament interaction system. Seven dimensionless groups govern the problem. A range of dimensionless groups were found for which the fiber hung up on the cylinder, whereas for other values of the dimensionless groups the fiber slid over the cylinder. In general, longer and more flexible fibers had a greater likelihood to be caught by the filament. Yawed finite aspect ratio cylinders at moderate Reynolds numbers are approximate representations of fibers in the flow field of forming fabrics. No analytical solution or any experimental data are reported in the literature to predict the drag and lift force on such particles in such flows. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations were conducted to find the drag and lift coefficients of inclined finite circular cylinders at Reynolds numbers in the range 1-40. The simulations showed that the Independence Principle was highly inaccurate for low inclination angles.

description: The mean motion of turbulent patterns detected by a two-dimensional (2D) beam emission spectroscopy (BES) diagnostic on the Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak (MAST) is determined using a cross-correlation time delay (CCTD) method. Statistical reliability of the method is studied by means of synthetic data analysis. The experimental measurements on MAST indicate that the apparent mean poloidal motion of the turbulent density patterns in the lab frame arises because the longest correlation direction of the patterns (parallel to the local background magnetic fields) is not parallel to the direction of the fastest mean plasma flows (usually toroidal when strong neutral beam injection is present). The experimental measurements are consistent with the mean motion of plasma being toroidal. The sum of all other contributions (mean poloidal plasma flow, phase velocity of the density patterns in the plasma frame, non-linear effects, etc.) to the apparent mean poloidal velocity of the density patterns is found to be negligible. These results hold in all investigated L-mode, H-mode and internal transport barrier (ITB) discharges. The one exception is a high-poloidal-beta (the ratio of the plasma pressure to the poloidal magnetic field energy density) discharge, where a large magnetic island exists. In this case BES detects very little motion. This effect is currently theoretically unexplained.

In Austin, this is done by a policy mechanism called the density bonus, which offers developers the option to include more density than is allowed in the base zoning in exchange for including affordable units or paying a fee that will be used toward affordable housing development in other locations. Austin has employed density bonus policies since 2003, which have produced 1,665 affordable units and have raised over $6.5 million dollars used toward developing or preserving affordable housing in the city. They City of Austin plans to expand the use of density bonus programs to produce affordable housing in future changes to the land development code. This study evaluates the success of Austin’s density bonus programs and how proposed density bonus programs may perform. Costs and location of density bonus programs and other city-funded affordable housing programs are compared to evaluate the performance of the density bonus programs. The analysis finds density bonus units are much cheaper to the city and out-perform other city-subsidized units in terms of providing affordable housing in areas that do not have existing concentrations of poverty or minority populations. In addition, the study analyzes how local rents and other regulations affect density bonus unit production and finds the proposed density bonus programs are unlikely to be successful without accounting for hyper-local housing market trends. Last, the study offers recommendations for Austin’s density bonus programs based on the analyses

description: In this work, we perform an analysis of the visualisation methods implemented in ProtoPNet and ProtoTree, two self-explaining visual classifiers based on prototypes. We show that such methods do not correctly identify the regions of interest inside of the images, and therefore do not reflect the model behaviour, which can create a false sense of bias in the model. We also demonstrate quantitatively that this issue can be mitigated by using other saliency methods that provide more faithful image patches.

description: We study ultra-broadband slow light in a warm Rubidium vapor cell. By working between the D1 and D2 transitions, we find a several-nm window centered at 788.4 nm in which the group index is highly uniform and the absorption is small (<1%). We demonstrate that we can control the group delay by varying the temperature of the cell, and observe a tunable fractional delay of 18 for pulses as short as 250 fs (6.9 nm bandwidth) with a fractional broadening of only 0.65 and a power leakage of 55%. We find that a simple theoretical model is in excellent agreement with the experimental results. Using this model, we discuss the impact of the pulse's spectral characteristics on the distortion it incurs during propagation through the vapor.

description: The Assessing Quality in Digital Reference project is a first step toward understanding the cost of digital reference services in libraries. This article presents three measures isolated by project participants as being most useful for their immediate needs: total cost of providing digital reference service, the cost of digital reference service as a percent of the total reference budget, and the cost of reference as a percent of the total library or organizational budget. In addition, it reviews selected outstanding issues in the ongoing question of how to determine the cost of reference services in libraries and offers direction for further study toward a general cost model for information services
On the Kolmogorov Constants for the Second-Order Structure Function and the Energy Spectrum

description: We examine the behavior of the Kolmogorov constants C_2, C_k, and C_{k1}, which are, respectively, the prefactors of the second order longitudinal structure function, the three dimensional and one-dimensional longitudinal energy spectrum in the inertial range. We show that their ratios, C_2/C_{k1} and C_k/C_{k1}, exhibit clear dependence on the micro-scale Reynolds number R_λ, implying that they cannot all be independent of R_λ. In particular, it is found that (C_{k1}/C_2-0.25) = 1.95R_λ^{-0.68}. The study further reveals that the widely-used relation C_2 = 4.02 C_{k1} holds only asymptotically when R_λ <= 10^5. It is also found that C_2 has much stronger R_λ-dependence than either C_k, or C_{k1} if the latter indeed has a systematic dependence on R_λ. We further show that the variable dependence on R_λ of these three numbers can be attributed to the difference of the inertial range in real- and wavenumber-space, with inertial range in real-space known to be much shorter than that in wavenumber space.

Crowdfunding – Exploring the Role of Firm and Platform Attributes on Funding and Firm Success

description: Crowdfunding has evolved at a rapid pace over the last decade and has established itself as an alternate source of finance. Though young and nascent venture are increasingly using crowdfunding to finance their ventures, majority of them fail to raise the required funds. Research has started to examine antecedents of successful crowdfunding campaign, yet there is gap in our understanding of why some campaigns succeed but others fail to raise required finance. More importantly, we know very little about how crowdfunded ventures are utilizing raised funds to create value from themselves and their stakeholders. I examine these two important and timely questions in my dissertations. First, I expand the crowdfunding research on determinants of funding success to include firm and platform attributes. For firm attribute, I examine the role of a firm’s entrepreneurial orientation on campaign’s funding success. For platform attribute, I focus on the resource exchange pattern on crowdfunding platforms and examine the role of reciprocity as a determinant of funding success. Second, I expand crowdfunding research to include additional outcomes pertinent to crowdfunding. Crowdfunding platforms are self-sustaining communities of entrepreneurs and funders. For the long-term survival of the community, it is important to understand how much satisfaction funders derive from their involvement with crowdfunded firms. I use data from a Kickstarter, a leading rewards-based crowdfunding, to test my propositions. Results from empirical analysis provide strong support to my argument that firm as well as crowdfunding platform attributes are important predictors of funding success. I found that dimensions of entrepreneurial orientation have differential influence on funding success. I also found that norms of reciprocity exist in community of entrepreneurs on crowdfunding platform and that it mediates the effect of an entrepreneur’s social capital on campaign’s funding success. Finally, and most notably, I also found empirical support for my argument that crowdfunded firms can negatively affect the satisfaction derived by funders from their involvement with crowdfunded firms and can threaten long term survival of funding community. I conclude by discussing the implications of my research for theory and practice.

description: Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) have emerged as promising digital mediums of 3D objects and scenes, sparking a surge in research to extend the editing capabilities in this domain. The task of seamless editing and merging of multiple NeRFs, resembling the ``Poisson blending'' in 2D image editing, remains a critical operation that is under-explored by existing work. To fill this gap, we propose SeamlessNeRF, a novel approach for seamless appearance blending of multiple NeRFs. In specific, we aim to optimize the appearance of a target radiance field in order to harmonize its merge with a source field. We propose a well-tailored optimization procedure for blending, which is constrained by 1) pinning the radiance color in the intersecting boundary area between the source and target fields and 2) maintaining the original gradient of the target. Extensive experiments validate that our approach can effectively propagate the source appearance from the boundary area to the entire target field through the gradients. To the best of our knowledge, SeamlessNeRF is the first work that introduces gradient-guided appearance editing to radiance fields, offering solutions for seamless stitching of 3D objects represented in NeRFs.

description: This study is to examine the definition and characteristics of peri-implant disease, with a specific focus on per-implantitis. The objective is to enhance comprehension of the subject matter and explore several highlighted management strategies. We conducted a comprehensive literature review utilizing electronic databases such as MEDLINE and EMBASE. We specifically searched for research on the use of Implantoplasty for treating Peri-Implantitis, with a focus on publications in the English language. Peri-implant diseases exhibit similar characteristics to gum disease, such as inflamed or sensitive gums surrounding the implants, as well as bleeding during oral hygiene practices. Similar to natural teeth, implants require regular dental hygiene practices such as cleaning and flossing, as well as routine check-ups by a dental professional. Additional risk factors for developing peri-implant disease include a history of gum disease, inadequate plaque control, smoking, and diabetes mellitus. Regularly examining dental implants is crucial as a component of a comprehensive periodontal assessment. Undetected preimplantation abnormality can potentially result in complete failure of osseointegration and subsequent loss of the implant.
A coordinate-independent technique for detecting globally inhomogeneous flat topologies

description: A flat Universe model supported by recent observations has 18 possible choices for its overall topology. To detect or exclude these possibilities is one of the most important tasks in modern cosmology, but it has been very difficult for globally inhomogeneous ones because of a long-time calculation. In this brief paper we provide an object-based 3D method to overcome the problem, as an extension of Fujii & Yoshii (2011a). Though the test depends on the observer's location in the universe, this method drastically reduces calculation times to constrain inhomogeneous topologies, and will be useful in exhaustively constraining the size of the Universe.
