description: The associate production of Higgs bosons with W or Z bosons, known as Higgs-strahlung, is an important search channel for Higgs bosons at the hadron colliders Tevatron and LHC for low Higgs-boson masses. We refine a previous calculation of next-to-leading-order electroweak corrections (and recalculate the QCD corrections) upon including the leptonic decay of the W/Z bosons, thereby keeping the fully differential information of the 2-lepton + Higgs final state. The gauge invariance of the W/Z-resonance treatment is ensured by the use of the complex-mass scheme. The electroweak corrections, which are at the level of -(5-10)% for total cross sections, further increase in size with increasing transverse momenta p_T in differential cross sections. For instance, for p_T,H >~ 200GeV, which is the interesting range at the LHC, the electroweak corrections to WH production reach about -14% for M_H = 120GeV. The described corrections are implemented in the HAWK Monte Carlo program, which was initially designed for the vector-boson-fusion channel, and are discussed for various distributions in the production channels pp / p \bar p -> H + l nu_l / l^-l^+ / nu_l \bar nu_l + X.

description: Theoretical studies have shown that electron-electron (e-e) and electron-hole (e-h) interactions play important roles in many observed quantum properties of graphene making this an ideal system to study many body effects. In this report we show that spectroscopic ellipsometry can enable us to measure this interactions quantitatively. We present spectroscopic data in two extreme systems of graphene on quartz (GOQ), an insulator, and graphene on copper (GOC), a metal which show that for GOQ, both e-e and e-h interactions dominate while for GOC e-h interactions are screened. The data further enables the estimation of the strength of the many body interaction through the effective fine structure constant, $α_{g}^{*}$. The $α_{g}^{*}$ for GOQ indicates a strong correlation with an almost energy independent value of about 1.37. In contrast, $α_{g}^{*}$ value of GOC is photon energy dependent, is almost two orders of magnitude lower at low energies indicating very weak correlation.

description: Nestled in the Great Himalayas and long disconnected from global markets, Nepal has received promising connectivity offers by the United States, India and China. If the communist rulers in Kathmandu do not let their ideological preferences get the better of their economic judgements, Nepal could easily take advantage of all viable offers to promote its connectivity with its neighbourhood and the rest of the world.

description: We consider a parametrization of the lepton mixing matrix in which the deviations from maximal atmospheric mixing and vanishing reactor mixing are obtained in terms of small corrections from the charged lepton sector. Relatively large deviations for the reactor mixing angle from zero as indicated by T2K experiment can be obtained in this parametrization. We are able to further reduce the number of complex phases, thus, simplifying the analysis. In addition, we have obtained the sides of unitarity triangles and the vacuum oscillation probabilities in this parametrization. The Jarlskog rephasing invariant measure of CP violation at the leading order has a single phase difference which can be identified as Dirac-type CP violating phase in this parametrization.

description: Parents play a large role in the socialization of children and parent wellbeing has the capacity to influence children’s attachment security, self-regulation, and overall mental wellbeing. The most common mental illnesses impacting children in Canada are anxiety related. The benefits of including parents in early interventions for children with symptoms of anxiety, fears, and worries have not been studied. It has been theorized, though not empirically tested, that parent inclusion in mindfulness interventions may enhance therapeutic outcomes, further decreasing children’s anxiety symptoms. The present study investigated this assertion using two groups, one including 6 parent–child dyads and another with 10 children participating without a parent present (n=16). The paper presents mixed methods research findings that explore the benefits of parent inclusion in mindfulness early-interventions for children. Implications and directions for future research are discussed.

description: Reflecting on the current condition of people with physical disabilities in Saudi Arabia, the literature generally features the exclusion of local knowledge from Saudis with physical disabilities, the reliance on the medical model, and the continued dependence on imported Western resources. Unlike the majority of the literature, this study addresses the lack of voices from people with physical disabilities in Saudi Arabia, which continues to be silent. Thus, the purpose of this study was to present the underrepresented dialogues and perspectives of people with physical disabilities when interacting with health care providers in Saudi Arabia. This study used a Homi Bhabha’s conception of the third space, a post-colonial perspective, as a theoretical framework. Hermeneutic phenomenology was employed to illuminate the essence of the lived experience. A purposeful sample of seven Saudi men and women with disabilities were recruited, and the audiotaped face-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted in Arabic. It was through these conversations that a co-created interpretation of their experiences emerged. The findings of this study revealed that Saudis with physical disabilities’ perception of disability was colonized by the medical discourse that commenced at the early age and continued throughout their interaction with their healthcare professionals. Another factor was that the medical professionals have excluded people with disabilities from any relevant medical knowledge about their disability. This study also explores how the participants demonstrated their resistance to the colonizing discourse by operating in the third space. Since the role of the medical professionals is to continually provide and improve the care for their clients, examining this interaction within the third space serves to support and strengthen a new way of approaching people with disabilities within a client-centred approach. Through this interpretive investigation, the wonderment of what it may be like for a person with physical disabilities to interact with their healthcare provider continues as this study has provided an opportunity for further understanding and questioning to emerge.

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: The concept of dynamical symmetries is used for formulation of the renormalization group approach to the Kondo effect in the Anderson model with repulsive and attractive interaction $U$. It is shown that the generic local symmetry of the Anderson Hamiltonian is determined by the SU(4) Lie group. The Anderson Hamiltonian is rewritten in terms of the Gell-Mann matrices of the 4-th rank, which form the set of group generators and the basis for construction of irreducible vector operators describing the excitation spectra in the charge and spin sectors. The multistage Kondo sceening is described in terms of the local SU(4) dynamical symmetry. It is shown that the similarity between the conventional Kondo cotunneling effect for spin 1/2 in the positive $U$ model and the Kondo resonance for pair tunneling in the negative $U$ model is a direct manifestation of implicit SU(4) symmetry of the Anderson/Kondo model.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has stunted global economic growth. It may well lead to a contraction in the Indian economy in the current year. The government is pondering on a roadmap to rejuvenate growth and restore avenues for livelihood to millions who have lost their jobs. The revival package needs to focus on certain key sectors which will ensure maximum output in the short run. This will require large government spending which may shoot up the fiscal deficit. Nevertheless, it is recommended that the government focuses on five critical sectors and, in the process, move past fiscal deficit targets for the present.

description: Late-winter snow thickness on first-year sea ice is estimated based on the duration of snowmelt. The study encompasses the late-winter to advanced-melt period. The beginning of snowmelt is detected using space-borne C-band microwave scatterometer measurements, and the end of snowmelt is detected using optical satellite measurements. The snowmelt duration is then used to invert a degree-day snowmelt model based on air temperature, and a melt coefficient is calibrated with in situ observations. The modelled snow thickness estimation is validated with distributed in situ measurements of snow thickness throughout Dease Strait, Nunavut, Canada. The mean snowmelt duration for the study sites is 24.6 ± 1.2 days, and the estimated mean snow thickness is 14.7 ± 3.0 cm. The overall performance of the model reveals a RMSE of 27.1% and a bias of 1.8%. The methodology shows promise, and it can easily be scaled up to estimate snow thickness on a regional basis.

description: India and Nepal enjoy a close, yet complicated relationship. This has, however, gone downhill with the recent border controversy after the latter decided to redraw its map. The increasing domice of China in the Himalayan state has led to further impediments. It is time for India to employ a broader communication strategy and have a transparent approach to restore the ‘special relationship’ with Nepal which is today interpreted differently by both sides.

Modulation Of Fibroblast Function By Human Rhinovirus Infected Airway Epithelium

description: Thickening of the lamina reticularis – a feature of airway remodeling in asthma – can be found in the airways of young children with wheeze. In association, wheezing illness due to human rhinovirus infection is an important risk factor for asthma development. We hypothesize that rhinovirus infection may be involved in the pathogenesis of lamina reticularis thickening and, by extension, airway remodeling. We show that upon infection with human rhinovirus the airway epithelium releases chemoattractants that are able to recruit human bronchial fibroblasts – the cell associated with lamina reticularis thickening. CXCL10 and CXCL8 were revealed as key players in this response, broadening their role in asthma pathogenesis. Additionally, fibroblast migration was experimentally abrogated using formoterol and other cAMP elevating agents. Taken together, the work in this thesis supports the hypothesis that rhinovirus infection is involved in the pathogenesis of airway remodeling.

Year: 2020

description: The impact of COVID-19 outbreak on economic and social life is visible globally. In some countries, it has disrupted the democratic and political processes as well. In Sri Lanka, the parliamentary elections, which were first scheduled to be held on 25 April 2020, were postponed for the second time due to the rising number of COVID-19 positive cases. The Election Commission announced in June 2020 that the eagerly-awaited general elections will finally be held on 5 August 2020. Moreover, the indefinite end to the health crisis and constant delay sparked a new political debate in the country that is reminiscent of the 2018 political crisis when then-President Maithripala Sirisena unconstitutionally dismissed then-Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe. This time, the government and opposition disagreed over the status of the parliament and whether it was wise for the cabinet to make key decisions without a parliamentary vote. Many sections of the public and civil society also weighed in on the matter. This paper explores the divergent viewpoints that have dominated the country’s political landscape for months and the issues associated with it.

description: Temporary labour migration and related remittances are integral components of the South Asian economies. A significant portion of labour migrants from this region head to the Gulf countries. Nevertheless, migrant workers to the Gulf are barred from formally integrating into the socio-economic context in their country of destination. In this context, using the case of the Kuwait Amnesty and other examples during COVID-19 pademic, this paper reflects on the disproportionate division of responsibilities between the South Asian and Gulf countries in terms of the assimilation, return and reintegration of migrant workers, in an attempt to improve the well-being of migrant workers through the frameworks of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.

description: We have performed cosmological N-body simulations which include the effect of the masses of the individual neutrino species. The simulations were aimed at studying the effect of different neutrino hierarchies on the matter power spectrum. Compared to the linear theory predictions, we find that non-linearities enhance the effect of hierarchy on the matter power spectrum at mildly non-linear scales. The difference between the different hierarchies is about 0.5% for a sum of neutrino masses of 0.1eV. Albeit this is a small effect, it is potentially measurable from upcoming surveys. In combination with neutrinoless double-beta decay experiments, this opens up the possibility of using the sky to determine if neutrinos are Majorana or Dirac fermions.

description: My project focuses on the agentic components of the accounts of women who have experienced sexually traumatic events. Important research has been done into the painful psychic consequences of sexual trauma. Research has also been conducted into various and varied theoretical and therapeutic responses to sexual violence for women survivors. Without negating or trivializing these essential contributions, my research considers the empowering ways and means that women’s resiliency creates agency for those who have been sexually exploited. My project utilizes narrative inquiry within an autoethnographic methodological frame to consider my own healing journey as well as the narratives of three other sexual assault survivors who participated in my research study. I consider these narratives while employing a thematic content analysis that reveals three topics: 1) Survivors internalize feelings of shame that result from acts of sexual violence. 2) A culture of silence impedes survivors from revealing narratives of sexual trauma. 3) The survivors exhibited profound acts of courage and resiliency to overcome feelings of shame and create agency in their lives. As a means of interrogating and disseminating my research findings, I present my play Can’t Cross a Bridge as an artistic artifact that dramatizes the lived experiences of my life as well as the three participants’ lives. Through the academic discussion and the artistic representation, I endeavor to demonstrate the agency found within sexual survivors’ narratives. The play is also an artistic artifact that exemplifies the possibilities inherent in synthesizing social science research and the arts to promote social change.

description: For the second time in seven months, India and Nepal have been drawn into a diplomatic standoff over their Himalayan border. The roots of India-Nepal border tensions lay in the Sugauli Treaty of 1816 and a number of successive maps produced in British India. The current tension sparked off after India’s Defence Minister, Rajnath Singh, inaugurated a newly-completed road link from Dharchula to Lipulekh via video-conferencing. While Nepal has accused India of “encroachment” into its territory, India has refuted the charge and is ready to schedule foreign secretary-level talks after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.

description: The Universe is inhomogeneous, and yet it seems to be incredibly well-characterised by a homogeneous relativistic model. One of the current challenges is to accurately characterise the properties of such a model. In this paper we explore how inhomogeneities may affect the overall optical properties of the Universe by quantifying how they can bias the redshift-distance relation in a number of toy models that mimic the real Universe. The models that we explore are statistically homogeneous on large scales. We find that the effect of inhomogeneities is of order of a few percent, which can be quite important in precise estimation of cosmological parameters. We discuss what lessons can be learned to help us tackle a more realistic inhomogeneous universe.

description: Les romans de Joris-Karl Huysmans (1848-1907) sont couramment classés en trois grandes périodes de création littéraire ou idéologiques distinctes : Huysmans naturaliste (1876-1882), Huysmans décadent (1884-1891) et Huysmans catholique (à partir de 1895). Cette catégorisation de l’œuvre huysmansienne ignorerait pourtant le développement d’une problématique qui travaille, évolue et relie des romans huysmansiens qui appartiendraient à différents moments de création littéraire. Cette problématique est celle du pessimisme. Trois romans livrent, selon nous, la clé de la transformation du Huysmans dit ‘naturaliste’ au Huysmans ‘catholique’ en passant par le Huysmans ‘décadent’. Cette clé, c’est le personnage huysmansien. Huysmans revendique une subversion de la notion du personnage dans ses romans. Dans un entretien fictif signé A. Meunier, l’auteur affirme ainsi avoir repris, dans des textes au prime abord diamétralement opposés, un personnage- type qu’il aurait campé dans des milieux socioéconomiques différents. Dans le présent travail, nous nous proposons d’aborder la question de la singularité putative des héros huysmansiens: Cyprien Tibaille, André Jayant, Jean Folantin et Jean des Esseintes dans les romans En ménage (1881), À vau-l’eau (1882) et À rebours (1884) constituent-ils une seule et même personne ? La première partie de cette analyse sera consacrée à l’étude des distinctions essentielles de nature déterminisme entre les quatre personnages. iii Dans la deuxième partie, nous analyserons les rapprochements existentiels qui souligneraient la parenté des quatre personnages à travers les trois romans. Les héros huysmansiens semblent en effet avoir en commun un état d’esprit motivé par un désaccord douloureux avec leur temps. Cet état d’esprit est marqué par le développement d’une angoisse métaphysique et spirituelle qui se manifeste sous la forme d’un malaise tant physiologique que moral propre au milieu du XIXe siècle: le spleen de Baudelaire. Dans la troisième partie, nous poserons la question de savoir si et comment les personnages huysmansiens incarneraient tous les quatre une même idée philosophique répandue en cette fin de siècle : un pessimisme raisonné, inspiré de l’effet Schopenhauer.

description: Gestural interaction has become increasingly popular, as enabling technologies continue to transition from research to retail. The mobility of miniaturized (and invisible) technologies introduces new uses for gesture recognition. This thesis investigates single-hand microgestures (SHMGs), detailed gestures in a small interaction space. SHMGs are suitable for the mobile and discrete nature of interactions for ubiquitous computing. However, there is a lack of end-user input in the design of such gestures. We performed a user-elicitation study with 16 participants to determine their preferred gestures for a set of referents. We contribute an analysis of 1,632 gestures, the resulting gesture set, and prevalent conceptual themes amongst the elicited gestures. These themes provide a set of guidelines for gesture designers, while informing the designs of future studies. With the increase in hand-tracking and electronic devices in our surroundings, we see this as a starting point for designing gestures suitable to portable ubiquitous computing.

description: This thesis analyzes the adequacy of the United States Navy (USN) when facing an enemy employing naval mines in a narrow waterway in the 21st century. Recent threats by the Islamic Republic of Iran to “close” the Strait of Hormuz and its oil traffic make the issue of mine warfare especially poignant, given the significant role mines have played in that region over the last thirty years. This thesis argues the USN’s technological efforts at improving its mine countermeasures (MCM) capabilities since the end of the Cold War have been insufficient. An examination of MCM development efforts seeks to explain why such a crucial warfare capability remains lacking, and a historical comparative approach with the Dardanelles campaign in the First World War is used to illustrate the strategic significance of naval mines, as well as challenges the USN may face in attempting to reopen a mined Strait of Hormuz.

description: The Indian government has announced its desire to boost the economy to a level of US$5 trillion (S$7.16 trillion) by 2024. While fixing a bold target is commendable, the government must lay out the roadmap designed for each of the major sectors. Such a roadmap should have measurable milestones and should be put out in the public domain.

Nanopore Structure Analysis of Geological and Catalytic Materials

description: The study of nanoporous materials is important due to their many applications, including gas sorption/storage and catalysis. In this thesis, two classes of materials have been studied: a hydrocracking catalyst (nickel (Ni)-containing zeolite, Ni/H-ZSM), prepared using two different methods, and naturally-occurring tight gas/shale core plugs from several North American reservoirs. The Ni/H-ZSM catalyst was used for the hydrocracking of toluene, while the tight gas/shale samples are from reservoirs with enormous potential for natural gas production. Because the storage and flow properties of both of these materials relate primarily to pores at the nanometer scale, these topics are connected through the multiplicity of powerful characterization techniques that have been employed, including high resolution imaging, gas sorption, and computational methods (e.g., DFT). It has been found that the two methods of Ni incorporation of the Ni/H-ZSM samples, which are catalytically similar, differ in the Ni nanoparticle size and distribution within the pores. For the tight-gas/shale reservoir samples, characteristic pore shapes and distributions have been identified, and comparisons between routine and non-routine characterizing methods were performed. Elemental compositions with depth in powdered samples were explored and their implications for distribution of organic and inorganic matter explored.

Participating on the geoweb : evaluating the effectiveness of the geoweb for supporting participation in environmental governance issues in the Okanagan valley of British Columbia
Creators: name: Allen, Patrick M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The Geospatial Web (Geoweb) is taking an increasingly important role as a tool for supporting participation in governance. For the purposes of this study, web-based participatory tools, including a web portal, forums, blogs and a discussion map application now called Geolive, were developed to support collaborative planning efforts on environmental governance issues in the Okanagan basin of British Columbia. These tools were used to evaluate how effective the Geoweb is as a participatory tool for supporting environmental governance issues. A participatory action research approach, utilizing mixed qualitative methods, including surveys and focus groups, was used to involve project participants and gather their feedback on the design, development and usability of these web-based tools. The 20 participants involved in the study consisted of representatives from local, provincial and federal government, as well as local non-government organizations, the university and professional biologists. Preparation and refinement of the web-based participatory tools developed for the research extended throughout the timeframe of the study and as a result the project participants did not use them directly to support local-level environmental governance efforts. Thus, the effectiveness of the Geoweb for the purposes of participants in this study could not fully be determined. The research does however identify key concerns and suggestions regarding the design and development of effective web-based participatory tools. The findings are categorized and discussed based on the following themes: usability, technological capacity, cost, information abundance and credibility. Through the review of these themes in relation to current literature, this research provides insight into the concerns and issues associated with the effectiveness of Geoweb as a participation tool for environmental governance purposes. The research also contributes to the broader discussion of the sustainability of the Geoweb and of optimum technology design considerations for developing the Geoweb.
Shifts in Policy Paradigm in India: Re-emergence of the Hindutva Agenda

description: This paper argues that there have always been two strands to the BJP approach – one a pro development, market friendly approach and the other, a hardcore Hindu agenda. During the Atal Bihari Vajpayee years, as it was a coalition of parties sympathetic to market-friendly policies. While there was less focus on the Hindutva agenda, it was never given up. In the second term of the Narendra Modi government 2019, it is clear that there is an ascendance of the ideological forces within the party and that the RSS is driving national policy on the basis of its core agenda.

description: Gamification und Game-Based Learning, insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit modernen Technologien, werden in verschiedenen Bildungskontexten breit diskutiert. Nach einer allgemeinen Einführung in beide Konzepte befasst sich dieser Artikel mit einem gamifizierten Fernlernkurs zu Gamification und Game-Based Learning, welcher sich an zukünftige Fremdsprachenlehrer*innen richtet. Nach einer ausführlichen Diskussion des Kursdesigns, Classcraft als Gamification-Plattform sowie der gemachten Erfahrungen wird der Versuch unternommen, einige Schlüsselerkenntnisse zu verallgemeinern. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf Gamification und deren Rolle in der Hochschul- und Lehrer*innenbildung sowie ihrer Beziehung zum Fernunterricht. Als Hauptargument wird angeführt, dass traditionelle, belohnungsbasierte Spielmechanismen weniger vielversprechend sind, als ihre kreativen, narrativen, sozialen und auf den Menschen ausgerichteten Gegenstücke.

description: India is presently embroiled in a controversy that followed the enactment of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in December 2019. Detractors of the Act have exploited the fact that Muslims are excluded from the Act and ignored that the Act is specifically aimed at giving relief to minorities from India’s three Islamic neighbours who have taken shelter in India because of persecution on religious ground. There is fear among Indian Muslims that the Act is directed at them. Widespread demonstrations against the Act are being held with many of them turning violent and resulting in arson, destruction of property and casualties among the demonstrators and the police.

description: In plasmas at very low temperatures formation of neutral atoms is dominated by collisional three-body recombination, owing to the strong ~ T^(-9/2) scaling of the corresponding recombination rate with the electron temperature T. While this law is well established at high temperatures, the unphysical divergence as T -> 0 clearly suggest a breakdown in the low-temperature regime. Here, we present a combined molecular dynamics-Monte-Carlo study of electron-ion recombination over a wide range of temperatures and densities. Our results reproduce the known behavior of the recombination rate at high temperatures, but reveal significant deviations with decreasing temperature. We discuss the fate of the kinetic bottleneck and resolve the divergence-problem as the plasma enters the ultracold, strongly coupled domain.
