description: We study the global dynamics of integrate and fire neural networks composed of an arbitrary number of identical neurons interacting by inhibition and excitation. We prove that if the interactions are strong enough, then the support of the stable asymptotic dynamics consists of limit cycles. We also find sufficient conditions for the synchronization of networks containing excitatory neurons. The proofs are based on the analysis of the equivalent dynamics of a piecewise continuous Poincaré map associated to the system. We show that for strong interactions the Poincaré map is piecewise contractive. Using this contraction property, we prove that there exist a countable number of limit cycles attracting all the orbits dropping into the stable subset of the phase space. This result applies not only to the Poincaré map under study, but also to a wide class of general n-dimensional piecewise contractive maps.

description: During their asymptotic giant branch, evolution low-mass stars lose a significant fraction of their mass through an intense wind, enriching the interstellar medium with products of nucleosynthesis. We observed the nearby oxygen-rich asymptotic giant branch star IK Tau using the high-resolution HIFI spectrometer onboard Herschel. We report on the first detection of H_2^{16}O and the rarer isotopologues H_2^{17}O and H_2^{18}O in both the ortho and para states. We deduce a total water content (relative to molecular hydrogen) of 6.6x10^{-5}, and an ortho-to-para ratio of 3:1. These results are consistent with the formation of H_2O in thermodynamical chemical equilibrium at photospheric temperatures, and does not require pulsationally induced non-equilibrium chemistry, vaporization of icy bodies or grain surface reactions. High-excitation lines of 12CO, 13CO, 28SiO, 29SiO, 30SiO, HCN, and SO have also been detected. From the observed line widths, the acceleration region in the inner wind zone can be characterized, and we show that the wind acceleration is slower than hitherto anticipated.

description: Flooding affects the housing market, potentially leading to financial difficulties for homeowners and raising concerns for buyers, insurers, and lenders. Given that home value is a crucial driver of the national economy and financial well-being, the escalating risk of flooding due to climate change poses a significant systemic threat. To better understand flooding risk, we employed a Socio-Environmental (SE) model to study the impact of flooding on home value in coastal census tracts of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, US. The model applied to historical data (1970-2021) revealed memories of past floods, community risk perception, and participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) are closely related to mean home values. The model parameters describing changes in housing prices post-flood were also significantly correlated with social vulnerability indices, suggesting that flooding disproportionately affects home values. A cluster analysis using housing price change parameters identified three distinct clusters in the study region, which are well characterized by differences in social vulnerability. We extended the SE model to project the time path of housing prices up to 2100 under climate projections of precipitation, storm surge, and sea level rise for two shared socioeconomic pathways (SSP245, SSP585). The impact of climate projections on future housing prices varied among clusters. The most socially vulnerable cluster exhibited a significant drop in home values around mid-century with no indication of recovery. An improved understanding of the fate of the housing market in a changing climate could help managers make informed decisions and reduce flood risk.

description: La nostra capacità di prestare attenzione è limitata nel tempo. Quante volte capita di sorprenderci distratti o di commettere banali errori di distrazione o dimenticanze nel corso della giornata? Per ovviare a questo decadimento dell’attenzione tendiamo a concederci delle pause rigenerative, a “staccare la spina” per qualche minuto. Questo fenomeno non è circoscritto ai lavoratori o agli adulti, ma interessa anche i bambini e, conseguentemente, anche loro necessitano di brevi pause intercalate al lavoro. Questo lavoro di Bachelor si prefigge di ricercare come una transizione proposta tra un’attività e la seguente possa apportare benefici in termini di una maggiore attenzione degli allievi e una diminuzione degli errori da essi commessi. Durante la sperimentazione, sono stati effettuati dei cicli di osservazione in cui, al termine di una prima unità didattica di lavoro, si introduceva immediatamente la seconda attività di 45 minuti, rispettivamente si proponeva un’attività di transizione sotto forma di gioco cognitivo statico o gioco motorio tra le due unità didattiche. I dati raccolti, concernenti sia il numero di volte che un allievo si mostrava distratto, sia il numero di errori totali commessi dalla classe nel corso della seconda unità didattica, hanno evidenziato come proporre un’attività di transizione qualsiasi a cavallo delle due attività disciplinari proposte apporti benefici consistenti sia per quanto concerne l’attenzione dell’allievo, sia per il numero di errori commessi dalla classe.

description: The purpose of the study was to find out the effect of weight training on selected physical fitness components among volleyball players. To achieve the purpose of the present study, thirty volleyball players from Karnataka were selected as subjects at random and their ages ranged from 18 to 21 years. The subjects were divided into two equal groups at random. The subjects were divided into two equal groups of fifteen subjects each. Group I acted as Experimental Group (Weight Training) and Group II acted as Control Group. The requirement of the experiment procedures, testing as well as exercise schedule was explained to the subjects so as to get full co-operation of the effort required on their part and prior to the administration of the study. Pre test was conducted for all the subjects on selected physical fitness components. This initial test scores formed as pre test scores of the subjects. The groups were assigned as Experimental Group and Control Group in an equivalent manner. Experimental Group was exposed to weight training and Control Group was not exposed to any experimental training other than their regular daily activities. The duration of experimental period was 12 weeks. After the experimental treatment, all the thirty subjects were tested on their physical fitness components. This final test scores formed as post test scores of the subjects. The pre test and post test scores were subjected to statistical analysis using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) to find out the significance among the mean differences. In all cases 0.05 level of significance was fixed to test hypotheses. It was concluded that there was significant improvement on agility and explosive power due to weight training when compared to control group.

Agricultural waste burning in northern India : economic analysis and farmers' perspectives
Creators: name: Bhatt, Rudri
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Rice farmers in Northern India burn the rice “stubble” left in the fields after a harvest in order to clear land for the next sowing season. During several weeks in the burning season residents of the Indo-Gangetic Plain are exposed to levels of fine particulate matter that are ~100x greater than the annual WHO standard. Despite a ban on Agricultural Waste Burning (AWB), 9.96 million metric tons of rice residue was burnt in Punjab in 2018. Several ‘active management’ alternatives to AWB that include in-situ and ex-situ rice residue management are available to rice farmers. However, financial, logistical and institutional challenges make their adoption and impact inadequate. This work focuses on the alternatives to AWB in the Punjab, particularly on (i) farmers’ perspectives on available active management practices and challenges in adopting them (ii) the cost of residue management and how it influences practice (iii) role of government incentives. We expand on existing cost analyses of residue management processes by conducting semi-structured interviews with farmers and key experts to better understand how operational factors and cascading impacts may affect the profitability of different alternatives. These considerations include: timing of government subsidies, fixed bonus incentives, timely availability of required machinery, and pest implications. Our results show that given timely government incentives of a fixed bonus and subsidy on machinery, the cost of rice residue management through active residue management practices are comparable with residue burn. However, due to a short time window between cropping cycles, and wariness among farmers on the timely arrival of government subsidy, status quo of residue burn is more convenient and cost-effective for farmers in Punjab. Farmers also highlight concerns of groundwater depletion in Punjab that residue management does not address, and highlight the need for crop diversification to address both issues of air quality and depleting groundwater. These findings point to the importance of addressing AWB as more than simply a problem of residue management, but instead as part of a landscape of issues, including rice production in Punjab for national food security, mechanization, depleting groundwater, and short time duration for rice harvest.
Generalization and applicability of the Landauer formula for non-equilibrium current in the presence of interactions

description: Using non-equilibrium Green's functions (NEGF), we calculate the current through an interacting region connected to non-interacting leads. The problem is reformulated in such a way that a Landauer-like term appears in the current as well as extra terms corresponding to non-equilibrium many-body effects. The interaction in the central region renormalizes not only the Green's functions but also the coupling at the contacts between the central region and the leads, allowing the total current to be further expressed as a generalized Landauer-like current formula. The general expression for the dynamical functional that renormalizes the contacts is provided. We analyze in detail under what circumstances Landauer-like approaches to the current, i.e. without contact renormalization, are valid for interacting electron-electron and/or electron-phonon systems. Numerical NEGF calculations are then performed for a model electron-phonon coupled system in order to validate our analytical approach. We show that the conductance for the off-resonant transport regime is adequately described by Landauer-like approach in the small-bias limit, while for the resonant regime the Landauer-like approach results depart from the exact results even at small finite bias. The validity of applying a Landauer-like approach to inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy is also studied in detail.

description: This study adopted a 3 (event) × 3 (city) experimental design and used a co-branding framework to examine the transfer of image between cities and events. Two dimensions were identified to measure the transfer: an activity dimension and an evaluation dimension. To test the effect of image congruence, brand alliances between city and event with similar or contrasting images were formulated along the activity dimension. Results indicated that priming affects respondents’ perception of the match-up. Respondents perceived sport events (whether active or leisurely) more appropriately paired with an active city than a leisurely city. It was found that transfer on the activity dimension was unaffected by the match-up. Respondents assimilated the sport events’ activeness to that of the cities whereas the activeness of the cities was contrasted with that of the sport events. It was noted that familiarity with the brands might contribute to the assimilation or contrast transfers. On the other hand, match-up matters on the evaluation dimension. The degree of congruency between the two brands was positively related to respondents’ evaluation of the cities, although it did not affect that of the sport events

description: This study focuses on John Edwards of Cambridge (1637-1716) and the broader Reformed tradition within the later Stuart Church of England. Its central thesis is that, contrary to the claims of older scholarship, Edwards was not a marginalized figure in the Church of England on account of his ‘Calvinism’. Instead, this study demonstrates that Edwards was recognized in his own day and in the immediately following generations as one of the preeminent conforming divines of the period, and that his theological and polemical works, despite some Arminian opposition, enjoyed a very positive reception among significant segments of the established Church’s clergy, many of whom shared his Reformed doctrinal convictions. Instead of a theological misfit as he has often been portrayed, this study contends that the Reformed polemicist Edwards was a decidedly mainstream figure in the established Church of his day. Overall, this study makes a substantial contribution to the largely uncharted field of later Stuart and early Hanoverian Church of England theology, and demonstrates that future accounts of the established Church in this period will have to afford both Edwards and his numerous Reformed contemporaries a considerably more prominent place than has hitherto been the case. It not only confirms Stephen Hampton’s work on the persisting vitality of Reformed theology within the established Church during this period, but substantially develops it by demonstrating that Hampton’s revisionist thesis significantly underestimated Edwards’ stature within the Church as well as the strength and numbers of conforming Reformed divines between the Restoration and the evangelical revivals (1660 – c. 1730). Finally, this study problematizes scholarly depictions of the later Stuart Church of England as having developed a fairly homogeneous ‘Anglican’ theological identity, and argues instead that the established Church in this period was rather variegated in terms of theological doctrine, churchmanship, and politics.

description: The Jarzynski equality (JE) is known as an exact identity for nonequillibrium systems. The JE was originally formulated for isolated and isothermal systems, while Adib reported an JE extended to an isoenergetic process. In this paper, we extend the JE to an energy-controlled system. We make it possible to control the instantaneous value of the energy arbitrarily in a nonequilibrium process. Under our extension, the new JE is more practical and useful to calculate the number of states and the entropy than the isoenergetic one. We also show application of our JE to a kind of optimization problems.

description: This paper studies a cooperating mode selection problem of a manufacturer who sells its products through an offline channel and an online platform under cap-and-trade regulation. The platform can operate with marketplace or reselling mode. We investigate the manufacturer's optimal operational decisions and selection of the platform's modes considering demand disruptions. First, when the carbon cap decreases in the application process, this regulation is firstly easy and then hard to be implemented if the cross-channel effect is small. Even though the platform increases its commission rate, greater cross-channel effect can still bring more production. Second, the increase of demand disruptions brings more profits for the manufacturer and the platform. Specifically, considering demand disruptions, the total profit with reselling mode in decentralised case is larger than that in centralised case under some situations. Third, without demand disruptions, the manufacturer prefers marketplace mode (reselling mode) if the commission rate is low (high). However, demand disruptions make the manufacturer's mode selection a little complicated. Lastly, without demand disruptions, the two firms can be coordinated with reselling mode but cannot be coordinated with marketplace mode. With demand disruptions, the two firms can be coordinated with the two modes in some situations.

description: Questa ricerca ha come obiettivo quello di raccogliere dei dati sulla capacità emotiva dei bambini della scuola dell’infanzia durante i giochi di movimento. Lo scopo è quello di indagare la capacità degli allievi a identificare le emozioni e attribuirne una causa. Inoltre si vuole capire che tipo di emozioni vengono suscitate durante i giochi di movimento con la presenza di vittoria e sconfitta, andando a ricercare se prevalgono quelle spiacevoli o quelle piacevoli. I risultati mostrano che tutti i bambini sono capaci di identificare l’emozione provata che ritengono prevalente e che l’85% di loro riesce ad associarvi anche una causa. Gli allievi che mostrano una difficoltà nell’identificare una causa appartengono tutti all’anno facoltativo (3-4 anni). Le difficoltà si presentano unicamente nel verbalizzare la causa legata a un’emozione piacevole. Le emozioni che vengono verbalizzate dai bambini sono: felicità, tristezza e rabbia. Nello specifico il 69% degli allievi dichiara di aver provato un emozione piacevole, mentre il restante 31% afferma di averne provata una spiacevole. Relatore: Alejandro Arigoni

description: A series of computational tools were employed with the primary goal of understanding layered transition metal oxide materials as lithium ion battery cathodes. As nearly all of the data within this thesis was generated from density functional theory (DFT), we begin with an analysis of the uncertainty of DFT with respect to the choice of exchange correlation functional through the development of a prediction confidence metric and the propagation of error through the Debye-Gruneisen model for lattice vibrations. The prediction confidence metric is applied to the study of transition metalordering in layered Ni-Mn-Co (NMC) oxide cathodes and enables us to rationalize the disagreement with experimentally seen phases. For the purpose of accelerating the computational predictions of these materials, we then train a neural network potential for the prediction of energy and forces using atom centered symmetry functionsas the featurization. The success of this highly accurate machine learning potential is seen through its ability to recreate the thermodynamic properties with an addederror that is below the error of the underlying DFT itself. We then predict the open circuit voltage for a series of NMC compositions as well as the lattice dynamics duringcycling that have been linked to degradation of the cathode. We then quickly explore a promising machine learning algorithm that is beyond the fingerprint based methodsconventionally used. Finally, we dive deeper into the mechanism of another avenue of degradation in the release of highly reactive singlet oxygen seen in NMC, as wellas Li-air and Na-air batteries. We provide a unified picture for the mechanism, effect of electrolyte properties, and onset potential for this singlet oxygen release.

description: In the same way that micro-mechanical resonators resemble guitar strings and drums, Surface Acoustic Waves (SAW) resemble the sound these instruments produce, but moving over a solid surface rather than through air. In contrast with oscillations in suspended resonators, such propagating mechanical waves have not before been studied near the quantum mechanical limits. Here, we demonstrate local probing of SAW with a displacement sensitivity of 30amRMS/sqrt(Hz) and detection sensitivity on the single-phonon level after averaging, at a frequency of 932MHz. Our probe is a piezoelectrically coupled Single Electron Transistor, which is sufficiently fast, non-destructive and localized to let us track pulses echoing back and forth in a long acoustic cavity, self-interfering and ringing the cavity up and down. We project that strong coupling to quantum circuits will allow new experiments, and hybrids utilizing the unique features of SAW. Prospects include quantum investigations of phonon-phonon interactions, and acoustic coupling to superconducting qubits, for which we present favourable estimates.

description: We present our theoretical results on the ground states in layered triangular-lattice compounds ANiO2 (A=Na, Li, Ag). To describe the interplay between charge, spin, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedom in these materials, we study a doubly-degenerate Hubbard model with electron-phonon couplings by the Hartree-Fock approximation combined with the adiabatic approximation. In a weakly-correlated region, we find a metallic state accompanied by \sqroot3x\sqroot3 charge ordering. On the other hand, we obtain an insulating phase with spin-ferro and orbital-ferro ordering in a wide range from intermediate to strong correlation. These phases share many characteristics with the low-temperature states of AgNiO2 and NaNiO2, respectively. The charge-ordered metallic phase is stabilized by a compromise between Coulomb repulsions and effective attractive interactions originating from the breathing-type electronphonon coupling as well as the Hund's-rule coupling. The spin-orbital-ordered insulating phase is stabilized by the cooperative effect of electron correlations and the Jahn-Teller coupling, while the Hund's-rule coupling also plays a role in the competition with other orbital-ordered phases. The results suggest a unified way of understanding a variety of low-temperature phases in ANiO2. We also discuss a keen competition among different spin-orbital-ordered phases in relation to a puzzling behavior observed in LiNiO2.

Secwépemc water governance : re-imagining water relationality
Creators: name: Matthew, Melpatkwa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: This thesis traces how Secwépemc people conceptualize and (re)imagine their relationships with water across the Secwépemc nation. Using a mixed method of qualitative knowledge through one-on-one interviews with relatives and Secwépemc community members I use a strength-based research approach that honours and upholds Secwépemc voices. I include Secwépemc voices of Elders, educators, and youth to share stories and visions of Secwépemc water governance across five Secwépemc communities (Cstélen, Neskonlith, Tk’emlúps, Simpcw, and Sexqeltqín). The Secwépemc value of k'wseltktnéws is used as a theoretical and methodological approach to explore Secwépemc water knowledge and relationality. I examine how settler-colonialism and capitalism impact and attempt to disrupt Secwépemc people and communities’ embodiment, care, and responsibilities to water. Additionally, I discuss how resource extraction practices and narratives shape Secwépemc water governance. This thesis enables Secwépemc people and communities to (re)imagine water governance through the value of k'wseltktnéws, Indigenous futurity, Indigenous feminism, and grounded normativity. This thesis opens up space to improve upon Secwépemc relationality to each other and to water so that our tellqelmucw, the people to come, are supported and able to live freely within Secwepemcul’ecw (Secwépemc land and waterways).
Fast Hydro Simulation for the Intracluster Medium Physics and Cosmology with the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Effect

Subjects: Astrophysics

description: My thesis focuses on developing a cosmological code based on an innovative hydroparticle-mesh (HPM) algorithm for Efficient and Rapid (HYPER) simulations of gasand dark matter (He et al., 2021b). HYPER can produce lightcone catalogs of dark matter halos and full-sky tomographic maps of the lensing convergence, Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect and X-ray emission. These simulation products are useful for testing data analysis pipelines, generating training data for machine learning, understanding selection and systematic effects, and interpreting astrophysical and cosmological constraints. I start my thesis by presenting our study on an analytical model for the average cluster pressure profile, which we use to implement the HYPER simulation. We first come up with a model for estimating hydrostatic bias in the Xray measurement by fitting a power-law to the relation between the \true" halo mass and X-ray cluster mass in hydrodynamic simulations (IllustrisTNG, BAHAMAS, and MACSIS). We apply this model to the REXCESS X-ray cluster sample and adjust theUniversal Pressure Profile (UPP) derived from scaled and stacked pressure profiles (Arnaud et al., 2010) for the hydrostatic mass bias. Our work eventually leads toan updated model, Debiased Pressure Profile (DPP), for the gas pressure profile of galaxy clusters (He et al., 2021a). The second part of this thesis introduces HYPER code in detail, which updates the HPM approach of (Gnedin & Hui, 1998) to expand the scope of its application from the lower-density intergalactic medium (IGM) to the higher-density intracluster medium (ICM). In order to achieve high efficiency and high fidelity for the approximate hydrodynamic solver, the pressure term in the gas equations of motion is calculated using robust physical models. In particular,we use the dark matter halo model, ICM pressure profile, and IGM temperature density relation to model the gas physics in the IGM and ICM regime, all of which can be systematically varied for parameter-space studies. We show that the HYPER simulation results are in good agreement with the halo model expectations. At the end of this part, we also envision the perspective of use cases for HYPER. I discuss the application of HYPER simulation in SZ science in the final part of this dissertation. We present a template for calculating the thermal and kinetic angular power spectrausing the outputs of HYPER simulations, which can be applied to the analyses for future SZ surveys. We also show a simplified case in which this template is combined with observation data to constrain cosmological parameters.

description: Introduction: the chronic condition of Diabetes mellitus is always current and relevant in view of the epidemiological magnitude, the impact on health systems and on people's quality of life, making it an opportunity to discuss the role of nurses in Primary Health Care. Objective: to map the scientific literature on assistance during the nursing consultation with people with Diabetes mellitus in Primary Health Care. Method: Faced with the research question "What is the scientific evidence on the nursing consultation to the person with Diabetes mellitus in the context of Primary Health Care?" a scoping review will be performed according to the methodology proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute. Published studies and gray literature will be located in the following information sources: PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, SciVerse Scopus, Nursing Database, Embase, and Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature. Sources of gray literature studies will be searched such as, consensuses of the reference scientific societies (American Diabetes Association, International Diabetes Federation and Brazilian Diabetes Society), databases of the Ministry of Health, Nursing Councils, guidelines and/or protocols about Diabetes mellitus, Google Scholar and websites. Tools such as reference manager (EndNote) and web application (Rayyan) will be used for the removal of duplicates and selection of studies. The selection will be done in pairs and individually. Data extraction will follow a script prepared by the authors and the demonstration of results will be performed descriptively, tabularly and graphically. Expected results: it is expected that this study brings subsidies for the construction of a protocol for nursing consultation in Primary Health Care to people with Diabetes mellitus, with the intention of contributing to the improvement of care and expansion of access, in addition to the professional appreciation, with the expansion of clinical performance of nurses.
Phases of strongly correlated one-dimensional quantum systems

description: Studying phases and phase transitions is one of the central topics of condensed matter physics. For the one-dimensional quantum system, powerful analytical and numerical tools allow us to gain much understanding of the novel aspects of the phase of matters beyond the Landau-Ginzburg paradigm. In particular, the bosonization techniques can capture the quasi-orders of one-dimensional gapless phases. On the other hand, reliable numerical data can be obtained via optimization methods of matrix productstates, like the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG). Proper data analysis makes this method even more powerful. This thesis combines DMRG and bosonization approach to study strongly correlatedone-dimensional phases, with a focus on the gapless phases. In one of the projects, we use iDMRG to obtain the phase diagram of the mass imbalanced Hubbardmodel. We combine the standard bosonization method to reveal one of the phases as a gapless phase with some characters of a symmetry-protected topological phase. In particular, we determine long-range string orders and the "filling anomaly"; the latter refers to the relation among the single-particle gap, inversion symmetry, and filling imbalance for open systems. In addition, we also study the formation of bound states in a one-dimensional, single-component Fermi chain with attractive interactions. The phase diagram, alsocomputed from DMRG, shows not only a super fluid of paired fermions (pair phase) and a liquid of three-fermion bound states (trion phase), but also a phase withtwo gapless modes. We show that the latter phase is described by a 2-component Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL) theory, consisting of one charged and one neutralmode. We argue based on our numerical data, that the single, pair, and trion phases are descendants of the 2-component TLL theory.

description: The non-linear Hall term present in the induction equation in the electron-magneto-hydrodynamics limit is responsible for the Hall drift of the magnetic field and, in some cases, for the so-called Hall instability. We investigate whether or not the growth rates and eigenfunctions found in the linear analysis are consistent with the results of non-linear numerical simulations. Following the linear analysis of Rheinhardt & Geppert, we study the same cases for which the Hall instability was predicted by solving the non-linear Hall induction equation using a two-dimensional conservative and divergence-free finite difference scheme that overcomes intrinsic difficulties of pseudo-spectral methods and can describe situations with arbitrarily high magnetic Reynolds numbers. We show that unstable modes can grow to the level of the background field without being overwhelmed by the Hall cascade, and cause a complete rearrangement of the field geometry. We confirm both the growth rates and eigenfunctions found in the linearized analysis and hence the instability. In the non-linear regime, after the unstable modes grow to the background level, the naturally selected modes become stable and oscillatory. Later on, the evolution tends to select the modes with the longest possible wavelengths, but this process occurs on the magnetic diffusion timescale. We confirm the existence of the Hall instability. We argue against using the misleading terminology that associates the non-linear Hall term with a turbulent Hall cascade, since small-scale structures are not created everywhere. The field evolves instead in a Burgers-like manner, forms local structures with strong gradients which become shocks in the zero resistivity limit, and Hall waves are launched and propagated through the entire domain.
