Hetærography or inventions of radical alterity : subtitle reading two Latin American women’s poetry
Creators: name: Chatzivasileiou, Evangelia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This primarily theoretical study is situated within the field of Latin American Studies, since it examines poetry written in Spanish by two contemporary Latin American women. The approach develops concepts introduced by Derrida and Levinas to discuss their poems in relation to feminist debates about identity and difference/alterity. Many feminists believe that the struggle for the emancipation of women must orient itself toward a politics that affirms their sexual identity as women or as lesbians. Others argue that such affirmations are problematic, because they are posited within a masculinist, heteronormative context and necessarily adopt the stereotypes and biases implicit in such a frame. This dissertation supports the point of view of radical feminists, for whom maintaining a radical heterogeneity and difference in relation to this normative binary framework is the only way to avoid (re-) assimilation into phallocratic structures. The first chapter provides a theoretical framework based on Derridean deconstruction and notions of alterity and difference that enable the philosophical construction of a radical heterogeneity called here hetdsrography. This invented concept gives rise to other inventions of difference and multiple alterities, creating an alternative to essentialist concepts of identity and otherness. The second chapter examines the Argentinian poet Diana Bellessi's Eroica and proposes a reading based on the radical heterogeneity of "woman." Drawing on the political reality of los desaparecidos in Argentina, the unidentified woman is construed as "disappearance." The third chapter applies a similar approach to a reading of the Chilean poet Soledad Farina's Albricia, developing the concept of impasse. The discussion focuses on the deconstruction of Farina's homogeneous or essentialist category of lesbianism and proposes an-other, more radical hyperlesbianism that is indeterminate and exceeds essentialist definitions. Hyperfeminism/lesbianism link women's and lesbians' emancipation to wider issues of democracy, justice and ethics, as discussed in the fourth and final chapter.

description: The topological structure resulting from the network of contacts between grains (contact network) is studied for very large samples of disorderly-packed monosized spheres with densities ranging from 0.58 to 0.64. The hierarchical organization of such a structure is studied by means of a topological map which starts from a given sphere and moves outwards in concentric shells through the contact network. We find that the topological density of disordered sphere packing is larger than the topological density of equivalent lattice sphere packings.

description: We derive the complete orbit of boundary conditions for supergravity models which is closed under the action of all local symmetries of these models, and which eliminates spurious field equations on the boundary. We show that the Gibbons-Hawking boundary conditions break local supersymmetry if one imposes local boundary conditions on all fields. Nonlocal boundary conditions are not ruled out. We extend our analysis to BRST symmetry and to the Hamiltonian formulation of these models.

description: The 1953 London Debt Agreement settled Germany's debts from the period between the two world wars, and allowed the country to re-establish its role in international capital markets. The Agreement wrote-down the overall debt by about 50 percent and gave the debtors a much longer period to repay. One interesting clause in the Agreement allowed Germany to postpone some payments until such time as re-unification. The Agreement reflects a subtle and responsible understanding of the problems associated with the reparations and debt crises of the 1920s and 1930s, as well as fears about the moral hazard problems that would arise with making any part of the Agreement contingent on events Germany could influence. Recent advocates of third-world debt relief have held up the London Debt Agreement of 1953 as a precedent for debt relief for poor countries today. That argument reflects a misunderstanding of the historical circumstances of the early 1950s, as well as the economic principles reflected in the Agreement.

Radiative Transfer Effects on the Lya Forest

name: Ferrara, A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Strong observational evidence for a fluctuating ultraviolet background (UVB) has been accumulating through a number of studies of the HI and HeII Lya forest as well as accurate IGM metallicity measurements. UVB fluctuations could arise both from the inhomogeneous distribution of the ionizing sources and/or from radiative transfer (RT) through the filamentary IGM. In this study we investigate, via numerical simulations, the role of RT effects such as shadowing, self-shielding and filtering of the ionizing radiation, in giving raise to a fluctuating UVB. We focus on possible detectable signatures of these effects on quantities derived from Lya forest spectra, as photoionization rate fluctuations, eta parameter (the HeII to HI column density ratio) distributions and the IGM temperature at redshift about 3. We find that RT induces fluctuations up to 60% in the UVB, which are tightly correlated to the density field. The UVB mean intensity is progressively suppressed toward higher densities and photon energies above 4 Ryd, due to the high HeII opacity. Shielding of overdense regions (Delta > 5) from cosmic HeII ionizing radiation, produces a decreaseing trend of eta with overdensity. Furthermore we find that the mean eta value inferred from HI-HeII Lya forest observations can be explained only by properly accounting for the actual IGM opacity. We outline and discuss several implications of our findings.

description: This paper uses national survey data to estimate up-to-date private rates of return to education in Burkina Faso. Mincer earning regressions are fitted to wage data for women and men, and for public and private sector workers. The main results indicate that rates of return rise by level of education, and the public sector does not compensate female primary education. The findings suggest that current education polices which focus on increasing primary schooling supply be complemented with support for children, especially girls from resource constrained households to reach the secondary and tertiary levels. The estimated returns to education are strongly influenced by sample selection. For both men and women, failing to control for both selection in the wage sector and sector choice leads to biased estimates based on my identification of the selection process.

description: We present results from a systematic numerical study of structural properties of an unforced, incompressible, homogeneous, and isotropic three-dimensional turbulent fluid with an initial energy spectrum that develops a cascade of kinetic energy to large wavenumbers. The results are compared with those from a recently studied set of power-law initial energy spectra [C. Kalelkar and R. Pandit, Phys. Rev. E, {\bf 69}, 046304 (2004)] which do not exhibit such a cascade. Differences are exhibited in plots of vorticity isosurfaces, the temporal evolution of the kinetic energy-dissipation rate, and the rates of production of the mean enstrophy along the principal axes of the strain-rate tensor. A crossover between non-`cascade-type' and `cascade-type' behaviour is shown numerically for a specific set of initial energy spectra.

description: In a previous letter, we computed the decay constants of heavy pseudoscalar mesons in the framework of relativistic (instantaneous) Bethe-Salpeter method (full $0^-$ Salpeter equation), in this letter, we solve the full $1^-$ Salpeter equation and compute the leptonic decay constants of heavy-heavy and heavy-light vector mesons. The theoretical estimate of mass spectra of these heavy-heavy and heavy-light vector mesons are also presented. Our results for the decay constants and mass spectra include the complete relativistic contributions. We find $F_{D^*_s} \approx 375 \pm 24 $, $F_{D^*} \approx 340 \pm 23 (D^{*0},D^{*\pm})$, $F_{B^*_s} \approx 272 \pm 20 $, $F_{B^*} \approx 238 \pm 18 (B^{*0},B^{*\pm})$, $F_{B^*_c} \approx 418 \pm 24 $, $F_{J/Ψ} \approx 459 \pm 28 $, $F_{Ψ(2S)} \approx 364 \pm 24 $, $F_Υ \approx 498 \pm 20 $ and $F_{Υ(2S)} \approx 366 \pm 27 $ MeV.

description: This paper explores ways of enlarging the measurement and understanding of Human Development (HD) beyond the relatively reductionist Human Development Index. From the extensive literature on well-being, we derived eleven categories of HD. Within each category, we then identified a potential set of indicators which were measurable and reflect performance with respect to that category. In order to reduce the number of indicators representing each category, we included only one for any set highly rank order correlated with each other, as well as including indicators not correlated with any other indicator in that category. Our aim was to retain only indicators which are broadly independent of each other. We subsequently investigated the extent of correlation between the retained indicators and such generally accepted core indicators as the HDI, per capita income and under five mortality rates. We found that HDI and under five mortality performed equally well in eliminating additional indicators, while per capita income did somewhat less well. A further consolidation of indicators, possibly with the help of principal components analysis applied to each category, should help us identify typologies of countries concerning success or failure with respect to the various dimensions of HD.

description: This paper analyzes how family structure and fertility alter children quality in Colombia. Reduced form models to determine marital status of women and number of children ever born are estimated considering factors that affect women's bargaining powers inside the marriage. Tentative estimates of structural interdependence between these variables and children outcomes are outlined, revealing that marriage has a positive link with child quality and fertility has a negative link with child quality. Colombian national household survey data at rural and urban levels are used for the estimations.

Subjects: Labor and Human Capital

description: This research examines differences in earnings structure between Communist and post-Communist Czech Republic and Slovakia using four sets of similar micro-data. It presents hypotheses about how earnings dispersion returns to education and returns to experience will change across regimes and tests those hypotheses using earnings equations. From approximately 2.5 percent in 1984, the return to education increased to approximately 5 percent by 1993. During that period, returns to experience fell. Though women have higher returns to education, returns for men increased more across regime change. Those with academic secondary education experienced a particularly large earnings increase. Earnings structure changes appear larger in the Czech Republic than in Slovakia.

In order to investigate natural transformations from CA to QCA, the present QCA includes CA with Wolfram's rule 150 and 105 as special cases. We firstly compute the time-evolution of the QCA and examine its statistical properties. As a basic statistical value, the probability of finding an active cell averaged over a spatial-temporal space is introduced, and the difference between CA and QCA is considered. In addition, it is shown that statistical properties in QCA are related to the classical trajectory in the configuration space.

description: The Curiosity rover is one of the most complex systems successfully deployed in a planetary exploration mission to date. It was sent by NASA to explore the surface of Mars and to identify potential signs of life. Even though it has limited autonomy on-board, most of its decisions are made by the ground control team. This hinders the speed at which the Curiosity reacts to its environment, due to the communication delays between Earth and Mars. Depending on the orbital position of both planets, it can take 4--24 minutes for a message to be transmitted between Earth and Mars. If the Curiosity were controlled autonomously, it would be able to perform its activities much faster and more flexibly. However, one of the major barriers to increased use of autonomy in such scenarios is the lack of assurances that the autonomous behaviour will work as expected. In this paper, we use a Robot Operating System (ROS) model of the Curiosity that is simulated in Gazebo and add an autonomous agent that is responsible for high-level decision-making. Then, we use a mixture of formal and non-formal techniques to verify the distinct system components (ROS nodes). This use of heterogeneous verification techniques is essential to provide guarantees about the nodes at different abstraction levels, and allows us to bring together relevant verification evidence to provide overall assurance.

description: Ανέκαθεν, το στοιχείο του νερού διαδραμάτιζε σπουδαίο ρόλο στα ανθρωπογενή περιβάλλοντα των πόλεων. Με την πάροδο του χρόνου, η σχέση ανάμεσα στα υδάτινα συστήματα και τα αστικά οικοσυστήματα αναπτύσσει ολοένα πιο ιδιαίτερη και πολύπλοκη δυναμική, με τις ζώνες επαφής άστεως και ύδατος να εκφράζουν το μεγαλύτερο εύρος αυτής της δυναμικής. Οι ζώνες αυτές, οι οποίες αποτελούν το κυριότερο πεδίο της έρευνας μας, τυγχάνουν διαφορετικής αντιμετώπισης, ερμηνείας και επεξεργασίας από την εκάστοτε παράκτια πόλη και τους φορείς της.
Όπως είναι φυσικό, κάθε πόλη αντιμετωπίζει διαφορετικές προκλήσεις όσον αφορά τα παράκτια μέτωπα, το λιμάνι και οποιοδήποτε άλλο σημείο επαφής της με το υδάτινο στοιχείο. Εγκαταλελειμμένοι λιμενικοί χώροι, προβληματικά παράκτια μέτωπα και αποκομμένες από την πόλη παραλιακές ζώνες συνθέτουν δυσμορφικά τοπία, τα οποία αποτελούν πολλές φορές τον κανόνα και όχι την εξαίρεση στις σύγχρονες ευρωπαϊκές πόλεις.

Ποιες είναι όμως συγκεκριμένα οι ανάγκες που οδηγούν τους αστικούς φορείς να επεμβαίνουν στις παράκτιες ζώνες και με ποιον τρόπο ακριβώς επιτυγχάνουν την εκ νέου ενεργοποίηση τους και επανασύνδεση τους με τον αστικό ιστό;
description: The element of water has always played an important role in the man - made urban environments. Over time, the relationship between water systems and urban ecosystems develops increasingly intriguing and complex dynamics, with city-water interface zones expressing the widest range of these dynamics. These zones, which are the main field of our research, are treated, interpreted and processed differently by each coastal city and its local authorities.
Naturally, every city faces different challenges in terms of its waterfronts, harbor and any other point of their contact with the element of water. Abandoned port areas, problematic waterfronts and coastal zones cut off from the city make up dysmorphic landscapes, which are often the norm rather than the exception in modern European cities.
It is therefore considered imperative to draw up studies and intervention strategies in the coastal zones, with many of the largest European cities having already taken or completed corresponding initiatives. But what exactly are the needs that lead local authorities to intervene in coastal zones and how exactly do they achieve their reactivation and reconnection with the urban fabric?

description: The length of a secure link over which a quantum key can be distributed depends on the efficiency and dark-count rate of the detectors used at the receiver. We report on the first demonstration of quantum key distribution using transition-edge sensors with high efficiency and negligible dark-count rates. Using two methods of synchronization, a bright optical pulse scheme and an electrical signal scheme, we have successfully distributed key material at 1,550 nm over 50 km of optical fiber. We discuss how use of these detectors in a quantum key distribution system can result in dramatic increases in range and performance.

description: The Princeton Project on the Decline of Fertility in Europe (or European Fertility Project, hereafter EFP) was carried out at Princeton University's Office of Population Research in the 1960s and 1970s. This project aimed to characterize the decline of fertility that took place in Europe during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The project's summary statements argued that social and economic forces played little role in bringing about the fertility transition. The statement stresses instead a process of innovation and diffusion. A central feature of the EFP argument is a series of statistical exercises that purport to show that changes in economic and social conditions exerted little influence on fertility. Two recent papers on Germany for this period have used similar data and methods to draw different conclusions. These findings echo those of researchers working in other contexts, who increasingly find that economic and social factors play a strong role in fertility. We show that one reason for the new findings is some general statistical problems in the Princeton methodology. These are reason to temper acceptance of the Princeton project's larger message.

First, the free-energy functional of instantaneous correlation field is obtained from the functional-integral representation of the grand potential. Next, we demonstrate that the instantaneous free-energy functional yields a closure relation between the correlation functions in the mean-field approximation. Notably, the obtained closure relation covers a variety of approximate closures introduced in the liquid state theory.

description: Child labor exists because it is the best response people can find in intolerable circumstances. Poverty and child labor are mutually reinforcing: because their parents are poor, children must work and not attend school, and then grow up poor. Child labor has two important special features. First, when financial markets are imperfect, the separation in time between the immediate benefits and long-delayed costs of sending children to work lead to too much child labor. Second, the costs and benefits of child labor are borne by different people. Targeted subsidies for school attendance are very effective in reducing child labor because they successfully address both of these problems.

description: The role of intrinsic $\bfk_\perp$ in inclusive and semi-inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering processes ($\ell p \to \ell h X$) is studied with exact kinematics within QCD parton model at leading order; the dependence of the unpolarized cross section on the azimuthal angle between the leptonic and the hadron production planes (Cahn effect) is compared with data and used to estimate the average values of $k_\perp$ both in quark distribution and fragmentation functions. The resulting picture is applied to the description of the weighted single spin asymmetry $A_{UT}^{\sin(ϕ_π- ϕ_S)}$ recently measured by the HERMES collaboration at DESY; this allows to extract some simple models for the quark Sivers functions. These are compared with the Sivers functions which succeed in describing the data on transverse single spin asymmetries in $\pup p \to πX$ processes; the two sets of functions are not inconsistent. The extracted Sivers functions give predictions for the COMPASS measurement of $A_{UT}^{\sin(ϕ_π- ϕ_S)}$ in agreement with recent preliminary data, while their contribution to HERMES $A_{UL}^{\sinϕ_π}$ is computed and found to be small. Predictions for $A_{UT}^{\sin(ϕ_K - ϕ_S)}$ for kaon production at HERMES are also given.

description: The consequences of liberalization on structural changes are examined using data from manufacturing industry in Nepal which is classified as a least developed country. This is important because doubts that liberalization may not solve the problems of low-income developing countries remain strong due mainly to low supply elasticities and the early stage of industrialization. Results suggest some structural changes in manufacturing output and trade orientation. However, no significant improvements were recorded in the overall productivity growth and spatial distribution of manufacturing which appear to be due mainly to the lack of basic infrastructure and the shortage of skilled manpower. Thus, appropriate investment policies, which channel resources to improve human capital and infrastructure, appear to be essential if the potential benefits of liberalization are to be fully achieved.

description: A common stochastic restriction in econometric models separable in the latent variables is the assumption of stochastic independence between the unobserved and observed exogenous variables. Both simple and composite tests of this assumption are derived from properties of independence empirical processes and the consistency of these tests is established. As an application, we stimulate estimation of a random quasilinear utility function, where we apply our tests of independence.

description: We use the Type Ia Supernova gold sample to constrain the parameters of dark energy models namely the Cardassian, Dvali-Turner (DT) and generalized Chaplygin gas (GCG) models. In our best fit analysis for these dark energy proposals we consider flat and the non-flat priors. For all models, we find that relaxing the flatness condition implies that data favors a positive curvature; moreover, the GCG model is nearly flat, as required by Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) observations.

$B \to D^* l ν$ with staggered chiral perturbation theory
Creators: name: Laiho, Jack
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: An unquenched calculation of the form factor for $B\to D^* l ν$ is needed to improve the determination of $|V_{cb}|$. The MILC lattices, computed with a 2+1 improved staggered action for the light quarks, are well suited to this purpose. The relevant staggered chiral perturbation theory (SChPT) must be known in order to correctly account for the "taste" breaking discretization effects associated with the staggered quarks to NLO in $1/ m_{D^*}$. This SChPT calculation is presented.

description: Gli interessi spagnoli trovano un allineamento con quelli degli italiani dal punto di vista culturale, economico e politico per quanto riguarda la loro comune ambizione al controllo sul Mediterraneo. I palazzi costruiti a Roma, Genova, Granada e Londra da Carlo V e dai suoi alleati dopo la conquista di Tunisi nel 1535 testimoniano questo interesse reciproco. Decorati con grottesche affrescate e scene di battaglia navale ispirate all'antichità e ai loro contemporanei, questi spazi danno forma all'unione geopolitica tra Spagna e Italia. Un insieme di ventisei disegni di grottesche, dispersi tra il Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Masson collection of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, e the University of Michigan Museum of Art attribuiti al pittore spagnolo Andrés de Melgar testimoniano questo connubio. Questo articolo esamina il ruolo di questi disegni come strumenti dell'impero che unirono Carlo V e i suoi alleati e contribuirono alla formazione di un linguaggio spagnolo-italiano dell'ornamento.

Spanish interests aligned with those of the Italians culturally, economically, and politically in their shared quest for control over the Mediterranean. Palaces built in Rome, Genoa, Granada, and beyond by Charles V and his allies following the 1535 Conquest of Tunis attest to this mutual interest. Decorated with frescoed grotesques and scenes of naval battle inspired by antiquity and their contemporaries, these spaces gave form to the geopolitical union between Spain and Italy. A set of twenty-six grotesque drawings dispersed between the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Masson collection of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, and the University of Michigan Museum of Art attributed to the Spanish painter Andrés de Melgar attest to this union. This paper examines the role of these drawings as instruments of empire that united Charles V and his allies, and contributed to the formation of a Spanish-Italian language of ornament.

description: We apply the on-shell tree-level recursion relations of Britto, Cachazo, Feng and Witten to a variety of processes involving internal and external massive particles with spin. We show how to construct multi-vector boson currents where one or more off-shell vector bosons couples to a quark pair and number of gluons. We give compact results for single vector boson currents with up to six partons and double vector boson currents with up to four partons for all helicity combinations. We also provide expressions for single vector boson currents with a quark pair and an arbitrary number of gluons for some specific helicity configurations. Finally, we show how to generalise the recursion relations to handle massive particles with spin on internal lines using $gg \to t\bar t$ as an example.

Parameters, defined space asymmetry, have found. A new type of a hyerarchy, in which superpotentials with neighbouring numbers are connected by space rotation relatively a point of origin of space coordinates, has proposed.

An experimental analysis of compulsive ordering and arranging
Creators: name: Radomsky, Adam Scott
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Compulsive ordering and arranging, and a preoccupation with symmetry have been documented within the context of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptomatology, but have not been examined experimentally. Three connected studies were conducted to examine this phenomenon, including the development of a self-report measure of this behaviour, the validation of this scale, and a test of anxiety provocation and memory in association with compulsive ordering and arranging. Results indicated that the self-report measure had good psychometric properties, and external validity. Also, participants who had a strong preference for order were made more anxious by having to complete a difficult task in a disorganized environment. Hypotheses about memory bias in association with this behaviour were not confirmed. Like other types of abnormal behaviour, these symptoms are likely extensions of normal and adaptive ordering and arranging behaviour. They are consistent with cognitive-behavioural conceptualizations of the disorder, however some aspects of this behaviour may not necessarily be reflected by current theory. Results are discussed in terms of the phenomenology of compulsive ordering and arranging, and its relationship to both OCD and normal human behaviour.
Chaining of hard disks in nematic needles: particle-based simulation of colloidal interactions in liquid crystals

description: Colloidal particles suspended in liquid crystals can exhibit various effective anisotropic interactions that can be tuned and utilized in self-assembly processes. We simulate a two-dimensional system of hard disks suspended in a solution of dense hard needles as a model system for colloids suspended in a nematic lyotropic liquid crystal. The novel event-chain Monte Carlo technique enables us to directly measure colloidal interactions in a microscopic simulation with explicit liquid crystal particles in the dense nematic phase. We find a directional short-range attraction for disks along the director, which triggers chaining parallel to the director and seemingly contradicts the standard liquid crystal field theory result of a quadrupolar attraction with a preferred ${45^{\circ}}$ angle. Our results can be explained by a short-range density-dependent depletion interaction, which has been neglected so far. Directionality and strength of the depletion interaction are caused by the weak planar anchoring of hard rods. The depletion attraction robustly dominates over the quadrupolar elastic attraction if disks come close. Self-assembly of many disks proceeds via intermediate chaining, which demonstrates that in lyotropic liquid crystal colloids depletion interactions play an important role in structure formation processes.

description: Silver-Gold alloy/diamond like carbon (Ag-Au/DLC) nanocomposite films were prepared by co-deposition of RF-sputtering and RF-PECVD on glass substrates by using acetylene gas and silver-gold target. The deposition process was carried out at room temperature in one minute with the variable parameters of initial pressures and RF powers. X-ray diffraction analysis demonstrated the formation of Ag/Au alloy nanoparticles with a face-centered cubic (FCC) structure. Localized surface plasmon and optical properties of Ag-Au alloy nanoparticles were studied by UV-visible spectrophotometry which showed that increasing RF power and initial pressure cause a redshift in all samples. Moreover, the effect of RF power and initial pressure on the size and shape of nanoparticles were studied by 2D Atomic force microscopy images. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy revealed the formation of Ag-Au/DLC nanoparticles and the percentages of C, Ag, Au and O in all samples. The applied method for Ag/Au alloy preparation is the one step and low-cost method which makes the samples ready for sensing application.
