description: The intercepted conversation that lies at the heart of this essay occurred between the pharaoh Merneptah (1213–1203 BCE)1 and his counterpart on the throne of Ugarit. At the time at which the letter was written, Egypt and Hatti were the
two most important superpowers in the ancient Near East.

It will be argued that the discussion surrounding the gifting (and not gifting) of statues was part and parcel of an on-going renegotiation of the nature of Ugarit’s political relationship with Egypt. Thus, after first reviewing the frayed state of Ugarit’s interactions with its Hittite overlord in and just prior to the reign of Merneptah, the essay will address the multifaceted role statues played in Egypt’s foreign relations.2 Egyptian and Near Eastern statues were anything but inert, and the gift of a statue of a god and/or a divine king could have a whole host of related repercussions. In attempting to interpret Merneptah’s original gift of the Bacal statue, as well as the pharaoh’s reluctance to furnish a statue of himself to go with it, at least four distinct rationales may have come into play, each of which will be discussed separately. The original sender and recipient of this letter, no doubt, had a clear sense of which—or which combination—of these possible factors was to be found lodged between the dense cluster of cuneiform lines. For contemporary scholars, sifting through the mail of long dead strangers, however, a whole host of possibilities must be considered. While a few of these might be justly criticized as speculative, it is the goal of this essay to identify a set of questions and to provoke generative thought about possible answers.
On a new type of orbifold equivalence and M-theoretic AdS4/CFT3 duality

description: We consider the large-N limit of \mathcal{N}=6 U(N) \times U(N) superconformal Chern-Simons (ABJM) theory with fixed level k, which is conjectured to be dual to M-theory on AdS4\times (S^7/Z_k) background. We point out that the so-called orbifold equivalence on the gravity side, combined with the AdS4/CFT3 duality, predicts a hitherto unknown type of duality on the gauge theory side. It establishes the equivalence between a class of observables, which are not necessarily protected by supersymmetry, in strongly coupled ABJM theories away from the planar approximation, with different values of k and N but sharing common kN. This limit is vastly different from the planar limit, and hence from the gauge theory point of view the duality is more difficult to explain compared to the previously known analogous equivalence between planar gauge theories, where one can explicitly prove the equivalence diagrammatically using the dominance of the planar diagrams.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A novel approach to evaluate sampling strategies for length measurements of fish is presented. A non-parametric bootstrap technique was used to determine the size and number of samples required to achieve a given accuracy (mean squared error) in a sampled length distribution. The method is developed for distinguishing the peaks and troughs in a length distribution with a specific accuracy. The target fish stock for application of this method was herring (Amblygaster sirm) off the west coast of Sri Lanka, but the approach was developed and evaluated using extensive data on capelin (Mallotus villosus) in Icelandic waters. The bootstrapping method takes into account the widely recognized within-sample correlations in length measurements. Bootstrap results illustrated that the number of samples taken from a population is more important than the actual number of measurements taken in a given sample. The study emphasizes the importance of designing and adopting optimal sampling strategies for fisheries data collection programmes.
The Branch Cut and Quasi-normal Modes at Large Imaginary Frequency in Schwarzschild Space-time

description: The 'retarded' Green function for fields propagating on a Schwarzschild black hole spacetime possesses a branch cut on the complex frequency plane. Classically, the branch cut is important, for example, in order to fully determine the response of the black hole to a linear field perturbation. The branch cut is also useful for the calculation of the self-force on a point particle moving in the Schwarzschild background. In this paper we use techniques of analytic-continuation to the complex plane of the radial coordinate in order to calculate the branch cut contribution to the Green function in the limit of large imaginary frequency. It is expected that the contribution of this frequency regime to the perturbation response and to the self-force will be mostly for short time intervals. We also determine the highly-damped quasinormal mode frequencies for electromagnetic perturbations in Schwarzschild for the first time (previously only the leading imaginary part was known), which seem to have a 'deep connection' with the branch cut. We find that these frequencies behave like $ω_{\ell,n}= -\dfrac{in}{2}-\dfrac{i[\ell(\ell+1)]^2}{2n}+\dfrac{π^{1/2}(1-i)[\ell(\ell+1)]^3}{2^{3/2}n^{3/2}}+O(n^{-2})$. The highly-damped quasinormal modes are particularly interesting for theories of quantum gravity in that they are believed to probe the small scale structure of the spacetime.

description: A generic search for new detector-stable high-mass particles at the LHC using the ATLAS detector is conducted, by measuring the velocity of candidate tracks in ATLAS’ Inner Detector. Four novel new velocity estimation techniques are developed, the best of which achieve velocity resolutions of better than 8% in simulation. 2.8 fb⁻¹ of 2011 ATLAS data is analyzed via these methods, yielding no signiﬁcant signal for new stable massive particles at the sub-TeV scale, and an exclusion limit at the 95% conﬁdence level for the existence of generic stable massive gluinos below a mass of 665 GeV.

description: In 2015, 26 two- and four-year institutions received grants to help implement and sustain technology-mediated advising reforms. With support from these Integrated Planning and Advising for Student Success (iPASS) grants, the colleges launched or enhanced technologies and related structural and procedural changes that would enable them to provide holistic, long-term support to all students by 2018.

CCRC is analyzing key performance indicators (KPIs) of short- and long-term student outcomes at these institutions—including those measuring credits earned, grade point average, progress in developmental and gateway courses, retention, and completion—to better understand progress made under the advising reforms. Recognizing an institution’s baseline level of performance prior to implementing a reform is critical to determining the reform’s effectiveness. This paper provides baseline KPIs for 22 of the 26 colleges that were awarded an iPASS grant.

Prior to the start of their funded iPASS reforms, grantee colleges exhibited wide variation in KPIs, with four-year institutions generally exhibiting higher performance than two-year institutions. The analysis of multiple KPIs across a time period prior to the iPASS grant period establishes that outcomes on these measures remained relatively stable for several years across the institutions. This stability will allow CCRC to better interpret changes in the KPIs that may occur after the reforms are fully implemented.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Environmental factors that influence the distribution of the loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) were identified in the Alboran Sea (western Mediterranean), where estimates of loggerhead turtle bycatch in the pelagic longline fishery in the Mediterranean Sea are among the highest bycatch rates in the world .To explore the factors influencing loggerhead turtle habitat usage of the Alboran Sea, a generalized additive model (GAM)-based approach was applied to non-systematic ship-based line transect surveys that were conducted from 1997 to 2008. Results show that the following environmental variables were related to the presence/absence of turtles in this area: water depth, sea surface height deviation, and longitude. In addition, year, month, and sea state also were found to be important. There is an increasing trend in the presence of turtles in the last years of the survey as well as seasonality, where there is a greater occurrence of turtles during warmer months. In addition, sea state played an important role in detecting the presence of turtles at sea. The number of large-sized turtles measured during these surveys suggests that turtles in the Alboran Sea may be spending more time in the Mediterranean and so delaying their return to the western Atlantic Ocean. Results from this habitat usage analysis could be useful when developing management actions related to bycatch reduction of loggerhead turtles in the Alboran Sea.
Essays on sequence optimization in block cave mining and inventory policies with two delivery sizes
Creators: name: Parkinson, Anita Frances
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Chapter 1 is an introductory chapter for this thesis work. It sets the scene by describing the motivation and industrial setting for each project. In Chapter 2, "Optimal Inventory Replenishment with Two Delivery Sizes", we consider a periodic review inventory system where a retailer can order in multiples of a fixed quantity Q₁, or multiples of Q₂ = 2Q₁, where the per unit material cost is less for ordering Q₂. We extend results of Veinott, and of Fangruo Chen, to show that an optimal replenishment policy has a reorder point R, as well as a second parameter controlling when the last order should be for Q₁ instead of Q₂ under a linear cost structure. In Chapter 3, "Sequence Optimization in Block Cave Mining" we investigate the use of integer programming models to aid the practitioner in the early planning stages of a Block Cave Mine. Given the footprint of the ore body divided into draw points or grid squares, sequence optimization determines which draw points to open in which period to meet the physical constraints of the mining process and maximize the total net present value of the mine. Traditionally done by trial and error by experts in the field, this is a first attempt to use modelling techniques to automate and optimize the process. We develop three integer programming models and discuss the challenges of formulating the problem in this framework. Two additional models are developed for comparison, one using the Column Generation technique and one using a greedy or myopic algorithm. All models are run on two data sets provided by our industrial partner, and the performance and results are compared. This work demonstrates that integer programming models can generate opening sequences but, like many "real life" problems, this one is complicated.

description: Ground states of the Edwards-Anderson (EA) spin glass model are studied on infinite graphs with finite degree. Ground states are spin configurations that locally minimize the EA Hamiltonian on each finite set of vertices. A problem with far-reaching consequences in mathematics and physics is to determine the number of ground states for the model on Z^d for any d. This problem can be seen as the spin glass version of determining the number of infinite geodesics in first-passage percolation or the number of ground states in the disordered ferromagnet. It was recently shown by Newman, Stein and the two authors that, on the half-plane Z \times N, there is a unique ground state (up to global flip) arising from the weak limit of finite-volume ground states for a particular choice of boundary conditions. In this paper, we study the entire set of ground states on the infinite graph, proving that the number of ground states on the half-plane must be two (related by a global flip) or infinity. This is the first result on the entire set of ground states in a non-trivial dimension. In the first part of the paper, we develop tools of interest to prove the analogous result on Z^d.

Non-sky-averaged sensitivity curves for space-based gravitational-wave observatories

description: (abridged) The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is used in gravitational-wave observations as the basic figure of merit for detection confidence and, together with the Fisher matrix, for the amount of physical information that can be extracted from a detected signal. SNRs are usually computed from a sensitivity curve, which describes the gravitational-wave amplitude needed by a monochromatic source of given frequency to achieve a threshold SNR. For interferometric space-based detectors similar to LISA, which are sensitive to long-lived signals and have constantly changing position and orientation, exact SNRs need to be computed on a source-by-source basis. For convenience, most authors prefer to work with sky-averaged sensitivities, accepting inaccurate SNRs for individual sources and giving up control over the statistical distribution of SNRs for source populations. In this paper, we describe a straightforward end-to-end recipe to compute the non-sky-averaged sensitivity of interferometric space-based detectors of any geometry: in effect, we derive error bars for the sky-averaged sensitivity curve, which provide a stringent statistical interpretation for previously unqualified statements about sky-averaged SNRs. As a worked-out example, we consider isotropic and Galactic-disk populations of monochromatic sources, as observed with the "classic LISA" configuration. We confirm that the (standard) inverse-rms average sensitivity for the isotropic population remains the same whether or not the LISA orbits are included in the computation. However, detector motion tightens the distribution of sensitivities, so for 50% of sources the sensitivity is within 30% of its average. For the Galactic-disk population, the average and the distribution of the sensitivity for a moving detector turn out to be similar to the isotropic case.

description: The gravitational lensing effect provides various ways to study the mass environment of galaxies. We investigate how galaxy-galaxy(-galaxy) lensing can be used to test models of galaxy formation and evolution. We consider two semi-analytic galaxy formation models based on the Millennium Run N-body simulation: the Durham model by Bower et al. (2006) and the Garching model by Guo et al. (2011). We generate mock lensing observations for the two models, and then employ Fast Fourier Transform methods to compute second- and third-order aperture statistics in the simulated fields for various galaxy samples. We find that both models predict qualitatively similar aperture signals, but there are large quantitative differences. The Durham model predicts larger amplitudes in general. In both models, red galaxies exhibit stronger aperture signals than blue galaxies. Using these aperture measurements and assuming a linear deterministic bias model, we measure relative bias ratios of red and blue galaxy samples. We find that a linear deterministic bias is insufficient to describe the relative clustering of model galaxies below ten arcmin angular scales. Dividing galaxies into luminosity bins, the aperture signals decrease with decreasing luminosity for brighter galaxies, but increase again for fainter galaxies. This increase is likely an artifact due to too many faint satellite galaxies in massive group and cluster halos predicted by the models. Our study shows that galaxy-galaxy(-galaxy) lensing is a sensitive probe of galaxy evolution.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Deep-sea fisheries in the West of the British Isles have experienced in only two decades many changes regarding the size of the fleets, engine power and fishing gears, fishing grounds and depth while signs of depletion of deep-water stocks and damages to the seabed have led to an increasing number of management rules aiming at ecosystem conservation and at protecting stocks from unsustainable fishing pressure. As deep-water scientific surveys are scarce, abundance indices have been lately estimated using a database containing the catch composition of 29 000 hauls and provided by two organizations from the French fishing industry through a science–industry partnership. Catch composition reflects the combination of the influence of the above factors and the “true” species distribution, itself depending on environmental factors varying in space and time. It is therefore impossible to treat haul-by-haul datasets by standard analyses as they generally require independent observations and normal distributions of continuous variables. Various multivariate analyses and clustering methods were applied in an attempt to characterize the spatio-temporal variability in species abundance and to identify structuring factors and species associations in the catches. Two temporal scales were considered: seasonal and interannual. The relevance of the different methods employed and the information they provide were discussed and results were analysed with stock assessment and management options for those mixed fisheries in perspective.

description: What I would like to do in the context of this necessarily brief essay is to push the discussion of retainer sacrifice a little further by posing three questions (or sets of questions) concerning retainer sacrifice, provoked in part by my own studies of the custom as it is manifested in First Dynasty Egypt and in part from readings on other instances of retainer sacrifice known from archaeological or historical records. !e first asks how distinct a practice retainer sacrifice was from human sacrifice, given that – although scholars contrast the two traditions – they frequently occurred at the same ceremonies. !e second asks questions concerned with the nature of the relationship – ideal and real – between the deceased and those sacrificed as part of his or her entourage. According to the official view, were lives sacrificed willingly out of love or fealty? Or were retainers viewed as functionally equivalent to grave goods – i.e., as possessions indicative of the deceased’s wealth and power, objects to be disposed of freely? !e third and final set of questions examines whether or not the trajectories of retainer sacrifice provide evidence that – despite the best efforts of elite ideologies – retainer sacrifices were viewed as violent by those who gave their lives, by those whose loved ones did, and by society at large.

description: Here, we study diffusive spin transport in two dimensions and demonstrate that an intrinsic analog to a previously predicted extrinsic spin swapping effect, where the spin polarization and the direction of flow are interchanged due to spin-orbit coupling at extrinsic impurities, can be induced by intrinsic (Rashba) spin-orbit coupling. The resulting accumulation of intrinsically spin-swapped polarizations is shown to be much larger than for the extrinsic effect. Intrinsic spin swapping is particularly strong when the system dimensions exceed the spin-orbit precession length and the generated transverse spin currents are of the order of the injected primary spin currents. In contrast, spin accumulations and spin currents caused by extrinsic spin swapping are proportional to the spin-orbit coupling. We present numerical and analytical results for the secondary spin currents and accumulations generated by intrinsic spin swapping, and we derive analytic expressions for the induced spin accumulation at the edges of a narrow strip, where a long-range propagation of spin polarizations takes place.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The Portuguese crustacean trawl fishery takes place off the southwestern and southern coasts, Alentejo and Algarve, targeting deep-water rose shrimp (Parapenaeus longirostris) and Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus). These two species have a different but overlapping depth distribution. Rose shrimp occurs from 100 to 350 m of depth whereas Norway lobster distributes from 200 to 800 m. Vessel monitoring system data (VMS), logbooks, and scientific surveys provide information on spatial distribution pattern and catch rates. The aim of this study is to analyse if changes in the abundance of target species are associated with effort regime shifts on the fishing grounds. Generalized linear modelling, generalized additive modelling, and time-series analysis will be used to detect correlations, short- and long-term trends both in the fishing regime and in abundance.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Environmentally driven spatio-temporal heterogeneity in the distribution of commercially exploited marine species affects the interpretation of fishery and survey data incorporated into stock assessments. The objective of this study is to test for relationships between intra-annual patterns of long-finned inshore squid (Loligo pealeii) distribution and local environmental variables at relatively small spatial scales (<25 km). Squid catch and fishing effort were documented using logbook data from commercial fish weirs in northeastern Nantucket Sound (northeast USA) in May 2007–2008. Seawater temperature was recorded using data loggers affixed to individual weirs, and meteorological data (windspeed/direction) were collected from a nearby weather station. Generalized additive models (GAMs) were applied to examine the relative influence of environmental variables as well as date. In all models, date was the most influential variable, indicating that local conditions at such fine scales are not strong indicators of intra-annual variation in catch. The possible influences of other local variables and larger scale processes, as well as the implications of alternative model structures and data handling methods, are considered.
Snowmelt energy flux recovery during rain-on-snow in regenerating forests

description: Rain-on-snow (ROS) is a major contributor to flooding and landslides in many temperate coastal watersheds around the world. Research has shown that forest harvesting can increase melt rates during ROS at both the stand and watershed scale. Because of this, post disturbance hydrological recovery is of interest in watersheds where forest management is prevalent. Recent research that pairs events by frequency rather than chronologically has indicated that forest cover removal can have a significant effect on the magnitude and frequency of extreme events, which is counter to the dominant view in forest hydrology. Hydrological modelling provides a means to apply frequency based analysis in watersheds with short data records, but models must be tested and validated in coastal watersheds before they can be applied extensively. A key challenge to testing models is the inherent difficulty with collecting data in ROS environments. Therefore, the objectives of this research were to design a methodology that recorded previously unobserved processes, use these data to validate model simulations and assess stand level energy flux recovery during ROS. Data were collected at a range of elevations within recently harvested, regenerating and old growth forests. The Cold Regions Hydrological Model generally performed well at capturing the dynamics of snow accumulation and melt, however, snow water equivalent was generally over-predicted. Depths of transient snowpacks were generally under-predicted, however, once a snowpack was established model performance improved. Clear-cut forests had higher mean and greater variability of energy inputs resulting in large events occurring more frequently than in old or second growth forests. Energy flux recovery was evident within the regenerating forests; however, both the rates of recovery and differences among stands depended on the location and the variables compared. When either the mean or standard deviation of energy inputs differed from that of old growth forests, energy flux recovery was reduced as events became larger and less frequent. It is probable that results obtained from this study will translate to stream flow in watersheds with steep slopes, shallow soils and extensive preferential flow networks (i.e. high run-off coefficients), especially when run-off generating areas are synchronized.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.English Channel fishing grounds are mainly exploited by French and English fishers. This area is the most significant production zone for long-finned squid (Loligo forbesi and L. vulgaris) and for cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) in the European Atlantic. Within a series of EU-funded programmes, landings composition of these species and length-frequencies have been sampled monthly at one of the main landing sites: the Port-en-Bessin fish market. The sampling protocol concerned otter bottom trawlers landings with two boats randomly chosen each month. Because loliginid squid and cuttlefish are migratory species, not evenly distributed in the Channel, fishers’ behaviour has a consequence on the composition of the sample. In particular, the list of successive fishing grounds exploited by bottom trawlers during the year may be reduced when fuel prices rise steadily and increase journey costs. The aim of this study is to analyse French fishery statistics collected per ICES rectangle in order to describe changes in the areas fished by the trawler fleet and by the boats sampled in the last decade. A series of indicators, such as distance between rectangles fished to landing harbour, number of rectangles visited per vessel in each landing site, or total time of trawling in each rectangle, are explored. The objective is to better understand interannual changes in landings composition and to reveal biases related to the exploitation of different fishing grounds.
Propaganda and Performance at the Dawn of the State

description: The notion that pharaoh was absolutely essential to the proper functioning of Egypt’s religious, military, and administrative endeavors existed from its “conception in the egg” in protodynastic times to its slow death under the absentee pharaohs of the Roman period. As it was not uncommon for pharaohs to ascend the throne as “nestlings” or to rule despite crippling disease or extreme old age, this illusion was vulnerable to an easy unmasking. Clearly, the state could function perfectly well with only the pretence of an authority figure at its apex. Further, even in those rare periods when Egypt was politically fragmented, the sun continued to rise and set, and the Nile flooded its banks and fertilized the soil. The question is: how did a small, newly powerful group at the dawn of the state convince the recently  conquered population of the Nile Valley that the unapproachable stranger king they promoted was vital to the welfare of the world? Moreover, how did the single office of kingship usurp and maintain a hold over all of the most highly valued sources of social power?

To answer these questions, I will utilize three pioneering articulations of royal ideology as a springboard for a discussion of propaganda and performance (or, perhaps better, propaganda in performance). These three monuments—the Narmer Palette and two impractically large maceheads, dedicated by King Narmer and King Scorpion to the god Horus of Hierakonpolis—are deservedly well known. Perhaps ironically, considering that they predate the Early Dynastic Period, they surpass any extant monuments of that time in their ability to efficiently communicate the various roles of the king at this period and the belief systems that surrounded him. While these objects may have been meant for the eyes of the god, the scenes portrayed upon them, I argue, were dramatic rituals that conveyed in their performance five foundational ideological precepts. These messages, writ large on these three royal monuments, were simultaneously disseminated by other means, and evidently so inculcated the Egyptian worldview that they together constituted a set of truths that remained essentially unquestioned for millennia. Although there were plenty of revolts in ancient Egypt’s history, we know of no revolutions. According to all available records, rebels within Egypt sought to be the king rather than to abolish kingship as an institution. Thus the fatigue of the modern tourist is a direct legacy of the success of Scorpion, Narmer, and the individuals who helped these kings and their successors in forging a new dominant paradigm.

Modeling and mitigating the climate and health impacts of emissions from public transportation bus fleets : an integrated approach to sustainable public transportation
Creators: name: Gouge, Brian D.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Public transportation has been widely promoted as a means of increasing the sustainability of urban transportation systems; however these systems also have adverse impacts. Further, although transit agencies are making efforts to address these impacts, the assessment tools and mitigation options available to them are limited. An integrated assessment model was developed to explicitly address the adverse climate and health impacts of the primary exhaust emissions from heavy-duty transit bus fleets. Models of the climate and health impact pathways were developed at several different spatial scales (e.g., macro, meso, and micro). These models were used to quantify the potential of a novel operational control strategy based on vehicle scheduling optimisation to reduce the impacts and costs of operating transit bus fleets. In addition to demonstrating the benefits of the vehicle scheduling optimisation, the results showed that transit agencies that optimise for operating costs and/or climate impacts alone may inadvertently increase health impacts and highlight the need for an integrated assessment approach. In developing the health impact pathway model, particular attention was devoted to evaluating methods of modeling vehicle activity and emissions and the implications of these methods on estimating exposure and health impacts. In comparison to micro and meso scale assessments, traditional regional/macro scale assessments based on emissions inventories were found to underestimate exposure and health impacts because they do not account for the intra-regional spatial variability in, and relationship between emissions and populations. Further, traditional distance-based emission factor modeling approaches were found to poorly characterise the spatial distribution of emissions as well as underestimate total emissions in comparison to modal modeling approaches because they do not fully account for the effects of vehicle activity. However, while modal modeling approaches likely have several advantages over emission factor modeling approaches, an evaluation of a major new modal emissions model developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, MOVES, revealed significant biases in the model’s predictions of NOX, PM, and THC emissions from both diesel and CNG transit buses. This suggests that with respect to transit buses, MOVES would benefit from further calibration and its predictions should be interpreted with care.
