description: We analyze a description of twisted graphene bilayers, that incorporates deformation of the layers due to the nature modern interlayer potentials, and a modification of the hopping parameters between layers in the light of the classic Slonczewski-Weiss-McClure parametrisation. We shall show that flat bands result in all cases, but that their nature can be rather different. We will show how to construct a more general reduction to a continuum model, and show that even though such a model can be constructed, its complexity increases, requiring more coupling parameters to be included, and the full in-layer dispersion to be taken into account. We conclude that the combination of all these effects will have a large impact on the wave functions of the flat bands, and that changes in the detail of the underlying models can lead to significant changes. A robust conclusion is that the natural strength of the interlayer couplings is higher than usually assumed, which causes additional Dirac points to appear for the standard magic angles. This gives rise to a degeneracy at the $Γ$ point. Since the appearance of a gap at the $Γ$ point is crucial for the construction of the Wannier states which are used in the standard descriptions of superconductivity, such an approach not be robust.

description: Developments in modern bio-imaging techniques have allowed the routine collection of a vast amount of data from various techniques. The challenges lie in how to build accurate and efficient models to draw conclusions from the data and facilitate scientific discoveries. Fortunately, recent advances in statistics, machine learning, and deep learning provide valuable tools. This thesis describes some of our efforts to build scalable Bayesian models for four bio-imaging applications: (1) Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM) Imaging, (2) particle tracking, (3) voltage smoothing, (4) detect color-labeled neurons in c elegans and assign identity to the detections.

description: BACKGROUND: Most previous reports on the prevalence of disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI) show higher rates in younger individuals. Exceptions are faecal incontinence and functional constipation.
AIM: To compare prevalence rates for 22 DGBI and 24 primary symptoms, by age, using the Rome Foundation Global Epidemiology (RFGES) study dataset.
METHODS: The RFGES dataset enables diagnosis of 22 DGBI among 54,127 participants (≥18 years) in 26 countries. Older age was defined as ≥65 years. We assessed differences between age groups by sex, geographic region, somatisation, abnormal anxiety and depression scores, quality of life (QoL), individual gastrointestinal symptoms and disease severity for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
RESULTS: Rates for any DGBI were 41.9% and 31.9% in the <65 and ≥65 age groups, respectively. For all Rome IV diagnoses except faecal incontinence, rates were higher in the younger group. The older group had lower scores for any DGBI by geographic region, non-gastrointestinal somatic symptoms, abnormal anxiety and depression scores, and IBS severity, and better scores for QoL. The mean number of endorsed symptoms and their frequency were higher in the younger group.
CONCLUSIONS: In this large general population study, the prevalence and impact of DGBI, apart from faecal incontinence, were higher in the younger group. Despite this, DGBI rates are still high in absolute terms in the ≥65 age group and necessitate clinical awareness and, perhaps, an age-specific treatment approach.

description: The European Union (EU) is currently enmeshed in a polycrisis. Yet, a treaty change to ease these crises is out of reach. We ask how a supranational actor, the European Parliament (EP), strives for more de facto powers amidst this situation. Relying on refined propositions of inter-institutional bargaining theory, we argue that the EP skilfully deploys strategies in order to extend its powers beyond the provisions of the Lisbon Treaty. Based on original interview material, we assess these propositions in two crisis-ridden areas of EU decision-making: economic governance and the negotiation of trade agreements. We find that the EP extended its powers in both policies by applying a set of particular strategies, which include obstructing the decision-making process, acting as a first-mover and mobilizing the public. Finally, we reflect on the possible consequences of this self-empowerment for the EP’s legitimacy.

Modernist Poetics between France and Brazil:  Influence and Cannibalism in the Works of Blaise Cendrars and Oswald de Andrade

description: This dissertation examines the collegial and collaborative relationship between the Swiss-French writer Blaise Cendrars and the Brazilian writer Oswald de Andrade in the 1920s as an exemplar of shifting literary influence in the international modernist moment and examines how each writer’s later accounts of the modernist period diminished the other’s influential role, in revisionist histories that shaped later scholarship. In analyzing a broad range of source texts, published poems, fiction and essays as well as personal correspondence and preparatory materials, I identify several areas of likely mutual influence or literary cannibalism that defied contemporaneous expectations for literary production from European cultural capitals or from the global south. I argue that these expectations are reinforced by historical circumstances, including political and economic crises and cultural nationalism, and by tracing the changes in the authors’ accounts, I give a fuller narrative that is lacking in studies approaching either of the authors in a monolingual context.

Modernist Unselfing: Religious Experience and British Literature, 1900-1945

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2018
Subjects: English literature

Secularism

description: This dissertation examines the role of religious experience in British modernist literature, arguing that a strain of modernist writing drew from different religious traditions to conceptualize and model ways of escaping the confines of the self. In distinctive yet strikingly similar ways, these writers draw from these traditions—orthodox and heterodox, eastern and western—not in an attempt to propound traditional theological ideas but to recapture a religious sensibility that extends beyond dogma or creed: a sensibility that can offer means of getting beyond the self’s limited, solipsistic, and myopic perspective. In response to the perceived decline of religion in late 19th- and early 20th-century British culture; the atomizing effects of industrial modernity; and a growing distrust, informed by contemporary psychology, of the limitations of the self and the self’s perspective, the works this dissertation examines achieve a frame of reference beyond the individual point of view through processes and practices I group under the term “unselfing.” Unselfing emerges in these works as a moral and broadly religious imperative, necessary to achieving authentic communion between people and, paradoxically, to achieving a more authentic relationship to the self; at the same time, these works represent unselfing as an endeavor that is necessarily asymptotic, difficult, and always incomplete. They model unselfing in and through literary form, not only conveying but also embodying processes of unselfing in their formal experimentation. Reading works by D.H. Lawrence, E.M. Forster, Dorothy Richardson, and T.S. Eliot alongside contemporary psychological, philosophical, and anthropological writings of the period, I show how a pervasive and urgent desire to use spiritual practices to escape the self shaped the development of British modernist literature. Modernist Unselfing thus challenges prevailing accounts of British modernism, according to which secular artistic innovation absorbed and attained the sacred value formerly located in religion. I argue that, on the contrary, these narrow accounts of secularization and aestheticization have obscured what much of modernist experimentation was actively attempting to capture: a desire, often ethically-minded, to forego self.

description: A cavity ringdown system for probing the spatial variation of optical loss across high-reflectivity mirrors is described. This system is employed to examine substrate-transferred crystalline supermirrors and quantify the effect of manufacturing process imperfections. Excellent agreement is observed between the ringdown-generated spatial measurements and differential interference contrast microscopy images. A 2 mm diameter ringdown scan in the center of a crystalline supermirror reveals highly uniform coating properties with excess loss variations below 1 ppm.

description: Quantum error-correcting codes are used to protect quantum information from decoherence. A raw state is mapped, by an encoding circuit, to a codeword so that the most likely quantum errors from a noisy quantum channel can be removed after a decoding process. A good encoding circuit should have some desired features, such as low depth, few gates, and so on. In this paper, we show how to practically implement an encoding circuit of gate complexity $O(n(n-k+c)/\log n)$ for an $[[n,k;c]]$ quantum stabilizer code with the help of $c$ pairs of maximally-entangled states. For the special case of an $[[n,k]]$ stabilizer code with $c=0$, the encoding complexity is $O(n(n-k)/\log n)$, which is previously known to be $O(n^2/\log n)$. For $c>0,$ this suggests that the benefits from shared entanglement come at an additional cost of encoding complexity. Finally we discuss decoding of entanglement-assisted quantum stabilizer codes and extend previously known computational hardness results on decoding quantum stabilizer codes.

description: Facing green trade barriers from developed nations, particularly the EU, based on product carbon footprints, China’s renewable energy industries confront significant challenges in transitioning towards sustainability and low carbon emissions. This study delves into the carbon footprint of China’s renewable infrastructure, evaluating wind turbines, photovoltaic (PV) panels, and lithium batteries across varied decarbonization scenarios, emphasizing both production and international trade transportation. The initial findings for 2022 indicate baseline carbon footprints of 990,701 kg CO2-eq/MW for wind turbines, 2994.97 kg CO2-eq/kWp for PV panels, and 67.53 kg CO2-eq/kWh for batteries. Projections for 2050 suggest that decarbonization advancements could slash these footprints by up to 36.1% for wind turbines, 76.7% for PV panels, and 72.5% for batteries, closely mirroring the EU’s 2050 low-carbon benchmarks. Considerable carbon footprints from both domestic and international transportation have been quantified, underscoring the importance of logistic decarbonization. Based on these results, it is concluded that China’s steadfast commitment to a sustainable and climate-ambitious development path can provide globally competitive, low-carbon renewable infrastructure after 2030. The study advocates for a collaborative approach to product decarbonization across international trade, as opposed to erecting barriers, to effectively contribute to global climate objectives.

description: We use the lattice model of directed walks to investigate the conformational as well as the adsorption properties of a semiflexible homopolymer chain immersed in a good solvent in two and three dimensions. To account for the stiffness in the chain we have introduced energy barrier for each bend in the walk and have calculated the persistent length as a function of this energy. For the adsorption on an impenetrable surface perpendicular to the preferred direction of the walk we have solved the model exactly and have found the critical value of the surface attractions for the adsorption in both two and three dimensions. We have also enumerated all the possible walks on square and cubic lattices for the number of steps N <= 30 for two-dimensions and N <= 20 for three dimensions and have used ratio method for extrapolation. The transition located using this method is in excellent agreement with the results found from the analytical method.

description: The small Gulf nation of Qatar, despite its vast oil and gas wealth, suffers from a lack of human capital, particularly with respect to deficits in academic outcomes. Despite extensive investment in education, Qataris, and in particular Qatari boys, are still underperforming relative to international standards and relative to its wealth. In this dissertation I explored political, economic, and sociological approaches to investigate factors contributing to the underperformance of male Qatari students. Specifically, I have examined how male Qatari high school students internalize social values and economic and political policies as “signals” that inform and are reflected in their attitudes towards education and learning. I have hypothesized that Qatari male students who perceive the economic entitlement signals, and who perceive wasta (social status) as a venue of success, and who lack civic engagement, will do worse academically. My research focused on Qatari males attending public high schools in Qatar, which are operated by the Ministry of Education, and examined their performance on national standardized tests. To investigate my research question, I conducted a quantitative study using an original survey instrument. The target population included a representative sample of Qatari high school students who were in grades 10, 11, and 12 in the public schools in Qatar. My analysis of the data found mixed results in which economic signals appear to be strongly associated with male academic performance. Furthermore, Qatari high school boys’ perceptions of the value of wasta was correlated with their achievement on test scores. Surprisingly, Qatari high school boys’ perceptions of civic engagement did not appear to associate with Qatari males’ academic underperformance.

description: In 15 years of data taking the Pierre Auger Observatory has observed no events beyond $10^{11.3}$ GeV. This null result translates into an upper bound on the flux of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays implying $J (> 10^{11.3}$ GeV) $< 3.6 \times 10^{-5}$ km$^{-2}$ sr$^{-1}$ yr$^{-1}$, at the 90\%C.L. We interpret this bound as a constraint on extreme-energy photons originating in the decay super-heavy dark matter (SHDM) particles clustered in the Galactic halo. Armed with this constraint we derive the strongest lower limit on the lifetime of hadronically decaying SHDM particles with masses in the range, $10^{14} < M_X/ $ GeV $< 10^{15}$. We also explore the capability of future NASA's POEMMA mission to search for SHDM signals.

description: The Mahler volume of a centrally symmetric convex body K is defined as M(K)= (Vol K)(Vol K^dual). Mahler conjectured that this volume is minimized when K is a cube. We introduce the bottleneck conjecture, which stipulates that a certain convex body K^diamond subset K X K^dual has least volume when K is an ellipsoid. If true, the bottleneck conjecture would strengthen the best current lower bound on the Mahler volume due to Bourgain and Milman. We also generalize the bottleneck conjecture in the context of indefinite orthogonal geometry and prove some special cases of the generalization.

description: Dietary choline is needed to maintain normal health, including normal liver function in adults. Fatty liver induced by a choline-deficient diet has been consistently observed in human and animal studies. The effect of insufficient choline intake on hepatic fat accumulation is specific and reversible when choline is added to the diet. Choline requirements are higher in women during pregnancy and lactation than in young non-pregnant women. We reviewed the evidence on whether choline derived from the maternal diet is necessary for maintaining normal liver function in the fetus and breastfed infants. Studies have shown that choline from the maternal diet is actively transferred to the placenta, fetal liver, and human milk. This maternal-to-child gradient can cause depletion of maternal choline stores and increase the susceptibility of the mother to fatty liver. Removing choline from the diet of pregnant rats causes fatty liver both in the mother and the fetus. The severity of fatty liver in the offspring was found to correspond to the severity of fatty liver in the respective mothers and to the duration of feeding the choline-deficient diet to the mother. The contribution of maternal choline intake in normal liver function of the offspring can be explained by the role of phosphatidylcholine in lipid transport and as a component of cell membranes and the function of choline as a methyl donor that enables synthesis of phosphatidylcholine in the liver. Additional evidence is needed on the effect of choline intake during pregnancy and lactation on health outcomes in the fetus and infant. Most pregnant and lactating women are currently not achieving the adequate intake level of choline through the diet. Therefore, public health policies are needed to ensure sufficient choline intake through adding choline to maternal multivitamin supplements.

description: Examples in which spacetime might become non-Riemannian appear above Planck energies in string theory or, in the very early universe, in the inflationary model. The simplest such geometry is metric-affine geometry, in which {\it nonmetricity} appears as a field strength, side by side with curvature and torsion. In matter, the shear and dilation currents couple to nonmetricity, and they are its sources. After reviewing the equations of motion and the Noether identities, we study two recent vacuum solutions of the metric-affine gauge theory of gravity. We then use the values of the nonmetricity in these solutions to study the motion of the appropriate test-matter. As a Regge-trajectory like hadronic excitation band, the test matter is endowed with shear degrees of freedom and described by a world spinor.

Water management and molybdenum treatment at the closed Noranda Inc. Brenda Mines site, Peachland BC
Creators: name: Patterson, Michael
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Brenda Mines, an open pit copper-molybdenum producer, operated from 1970 until 1990. Located in the southern interior of British Columbia, approximately 200 million tonnes of ore were processed at the site. During the operating period the site water balance was such that discharge of effluent was not required. However, the long-term legacy of the site is that on average 3.1 million cubic meters of water per year, containing 3 mg/L molybdenum, will have to be treated prior to discharge. Water treatment is expected to be required for an estimated 50-200 years. This paper will discuss the water management strategy implemented at the site, and the unique water treatment facility, which reduces molybdenum levels to an average of 0.03 mg/L.

It has a structure similar to the Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) with a higher optical aperture ratio and functions as an ion gate without gas amplification. The transmission rate for electrons was measured in a counting mode for a wide range of the voltages applied across the foil using an $^{55}$Fe source and a laser in the absence of a magnetic field. The blocking power of the foil against positive ions was estimated from the electron transmissions.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine the modes of acquisition of Shanghai elementary mathematics teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge within their communities of practice.  This study uses the qualitative multiple-case study with a survey research approach with two teachers in two public elementary schools, one each from an urban and a suburban district of Shanghai. In total, forty-four teachers, four teaching research coordinators in the two districts and city, one university professor, and four school administrators were involved in the study.
      The study shows that Shanghai elementary mathematics teachers acquire and develop their pedagogical content knowledge through positive mentorship; active participation in Teaching Research Group activities in the schools, districts, and city; and informal and formal communications with their colleagues in their school communities. The teaching research coordinators help teachers to better understand the elementary mathematics curriculum, topics, and teaching materials, and students’ learning of mathematics. School policies encourage, support, and ensure that teachers’ professional learning and development occur through their participation within teacher-supported communities of practice. This study has implications for the teachers’ communities of practice, in that policy makers and school administrators should enable teachers to share their teaching practices to improve their mathematics pedagogical content knowledge, and therefore improve students’ learning of mathematics.

The determinant can be evaluated in the long-wavelength, low-frequency limit to all orders in the coupling constant, leading to a non-linear sigma model with doping dependent coupling constants. An explicit evaluation shows, that the spin-gap diminishes upon doping as opposed to previous mean-field treatments.

description: The success of the ensemble Kalman filter has triggered a strong interest in expanding its scope beyond classical state estimation problems. In this paper, we focus on continuous-time data assimilation where the model and measurement errors are correlated and both states and parameters need to be identified. Such scenarios arise from noisy and partial observations of Lagrangian particles which move under a stochastic velocity field involving unknown parameters. We take an appropriate class of McKean-Vlasov equations as the starting point to derive ensemble Kalman-Bucy filter algorithms for combined state and parameter estimation. We demonstrate their performance through a series of increasingly complex multi-scale model systems.

description: Fording Coal Ltd. – Fording River Operations implemented a prescribed burn program in 1997 with the intention of mitigating the effects of habitat loss associated with the Henretta Ridge mining development. The objective of the mitigation burns was to increase wildlife habitat suitability and to provide winter habitat for elk and moose. Mitigation burns were completed in six areas. Each of these areas was subjected to a similar prescribed burn. A total of thirty-six transects were located in burned and unburned habitats. Vegetation, wildlife use and standing crop production (production clip) data were collected at each of the transects. The effects of the prescribed burn treatments on forest cover were evaluated with pre- and post-burn aerial photographs. The prescribed burns have been very successful. Firstly, canopy closure has been reduced in the areas where previously there was extensive crown closure. Secondly, plant species dominance has been altered. The change in species dominance has resulted in a greater abundance in herbaceous species and, therefore, potential forage. The increased cover of palatable grass and forb species is particularly beneficial for the enhancement of elk winter range. Standing crop production measurements have revealed that forage production and, consequently, Animal Unit Months (AUMs) have increased greatly. Thirdly, there has been a change in stand structure. The tall shrubs present prior to the burn are now producing forage within reach of the ungulates.
title: The scope for public participation in urban policy: A case study of Gear
Creators: name: Walker, E. M.
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 1985
Subjects: subject: Urban planning, Public administration.

description: Public participation has increased in popularity over the last two decades as a result of both philosophical and pragmatic considerations. The belief that within our 'democratic' society each person ought to have the right to be informed about matters which affect them, has been strengthened as a result of the failure of politicians and officials to identify public preferences. This has led to a questioning of plans and decisions that have been taken on behalf of the wider public. The need to accommodate these developments became most evident in the seventies, initially relating to inner city problems. The aim of this research is to examine how far participation has actually been 'accommodated', more explicit objectives follow in the introductory chapter. Whilst it has been suggested (Sewell and Coppock, 1977) that in an era when authority is being questioned more and more, participation will consequently be demanded, it is also apparent that there now appear to be an increasing number of constraints to achieving effective participation. Within urban policy, changing trends have influenced the nature of these constraints and as a result the 'scope' for participation is now being questioned. This research is therefore concerned with providing an insight into participation, highlighting the limitations to its development, which given the present trends in urban policy appear to be restricting the opportunity for participation even further.
Exotic Smoothness on Spacetime

description: Recent discoveries in differential topology are reviewed in light of their possible implications for spacetime models and related subjects in theoretical physics. Although not often noted, a particular smoothness (differentiability) structure must be imposed on a topological manifold before geometric or other structures of physical interest can be discussed. The recent discoveries of interest here are of various surprising ``exotic'' smoothness structures on topologically trivial manifolds such as ${S^7}$ and ${\bf R^4}$. Since no two of these are diffeomorphic to each other, each such manifold represents a physically distinct model of topologically trivial spacetime. That is, these are not merely different coordinate representations of a given spacetime. The path to such structures intertwines many branches of mathematics and theoretical physics (Yang-Mills and other gauge theories). An overview of these topics is provided, followed by certain results concerning the geometry and physics of such manifolds. Although exotic ${\bf R^4}$'s cannot be effectively exhibited by finite constructions, certain existence and non-existence results can be stated. For example, it is shown that the ``exoticness'' can be confined to a time-like world tube, providing a possible model for an exotic source. Other suggestions and conjectures for future research are made.

description: Despite being used interchangeably, different measures of restrained eating have been associated with different dietary behaviours. These differences have impeded replicability across the restraint literature and have made it difficult for researchers to interpret results and use the most appropriate measure for their research. Across a total sample of 1731 participants, this study compared the Restraint Scale (RS), and its subscales, to the Dutch Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (DEBQ) across several traits related to overeating. The aim was to explore potential differences between these two questionnaires so that we could help to identify the most suitable measure as a prescreening tool for eating-related interventions. Results revealed that although the two measures are highly correlated with one another (rs = 0.73–0.79), the RS was more strongly associated with external (rs = −0.07 to 0.11 versus −0.18 to −0.01) and disinhibited eating (rs = 0.46 versus 0.31), food craving (rs = 0.12–0.27 versus 0.02–0.13 and 0.22 versus −0.06) and body mass index (rs = 0.25–0.34 versus −0.13 to 0.15). The results suggest that, compared to the DEBQ, the RS is a more appropriate measure for identifying individuals who struggle the most to control their food intake.

description: High-temperature (T) and high-electric-field (E) effects on Pb[(Zn_{1/3} Nb_{2/3})_{0.92} Ti_{0.08}]O_3 (PZN-8%PT) were studied comprehensively by neutron diffraction in the ranges 300 <= T <= 550 K and 0 <= E <= 15 kV/cm. We have focused on how phase transitions depend on preceding thermal and electrical sequences. In the field cooling process (FC, E parallel [001] >= 0.5 kV/cm), a successive cubic (C) --> tetragonal (T) --> monoclinic (M_C) transition was observed. In the zero field cooling process (ZFC), however, we have found that the system does not transform to the rhombohedral (R) phase as widely believed, but to a new, unidentified phase, which we call X. X gives a Bragg peak profile similar to that expected for R, but the c-axis is always slightly shorter than the a-axis. As for field effects on the X phase, we found an irreversible X --> M_C transition via another monoclinic phase (M_A) as expected from a previous report [Noheda et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 3891 (2001)]. At a higher electric field, we confirmed a c-axis jump associated with the field-induced M_C --> T transition, which was observed by strain and x-ray diffraction measurements.

description: Excavations at East Bank, River Road, Littlehampton revealed a series of alluvial deposits, a late-eighteenth-century chalk well, and a large early-nineteenth-century wharf building, which fronted onto a dock to its west. In the late-nineteenth century the dock was infilled and alterations were made to the wharf building. A coal shed was added to the rear and another structure was erected to the north to front River Road. A series of tiebacks retaining a river defence wall dating to the late-nineteenth or early-twentieth century was also recorded. The paper integrates the findings of the archaeological excavations with cartographic and documentary sources in order to trace the process of wharf building and the subsequent development of the east bank of the River Arun in Littlehampton during the later post-medieval period.
