description: This is a practice-based research project with an 80/20 creative/critical split. The creative element comprises a collection of science fiction short stories that draw inspiration from science fiction classics, such as Star Wars (1977–); the critical element elucidates how these stories contribute to knowledge through thinking about stoicism. This philosophy is understood by a historicised typology unique to this work: philosophic stoicism, imperialist stoicism, and neoliberal capitalist stoicism. Through thinking through the potentialities, tensions, and contradictions of each of these periods of stoic thought, the short stories expand the genre boundaries of science fiction.

The project critiques contemporary stoicism, termed neoliberal capitalist stoicism, through exploring the relationships that exist between the historical periods of stoicism. One of the primary problems that emerged from my exploration of neoliberal capitalist stoicism is its loss of community through the lack of importance placed on cosmopolitanism, a key principle in ancient, philosophic stoicism. Stoicism has become synonymous with the idea of suppressed emotions, when in fact it can and should be a uniting force between peoples.

The contribution to knowledge in this research project is four-fold: (i) through the organisation of stoicism into a historicised typology; (ii) through an understanding of stoicism’s development and evolution, alongside an understanding of science fiction, particularly its pre-Victorian roots; (iii) through an insight into the inherent contradictions of stoicism, particularly regarding the three themes of endurance (the limits of stoicism and resilience and whether it inevitably transmutes into callousness), evolution (where stoicism began and how it has changed), and cosmopolitanism (whether stoicism is tied to imperialism, and whether a sense of community-mindedness can correct the issues of neoliberal capitalist stoicism); and in doing so, it (iv) imagines a corrective to the neoliberalisation of Star Wars (1977–).

description: Quantum entanglement and quantum non-locality are known to exhibit monogamy, that is, they obey strong constraints on how they can be distributed among multipartite systems. Quantum correlations that comprise and go beyond entanglement are quantified by, e.g., quantum discord. It was observed recently that for some states quantum discord is not monogamous. We prove in general that any measure of correlations that is monogamous for all states and satisfies reasonable basic properties must vanish for all separable states: only entanglement measures can be strictly monogamous. Monogamy of other than entanglement measures can still be satisfied for special, restricted cases: we prove that the geometric measure of discord satisfies the monogamy inequality on all pure states of three qubits.

description: We utilize the Canny edge detection algorithm as an estimator for primordial non-Gaussianities. In preliminary tests on simulated sky patches with a window size of 57 degrees and multipole moments $l$ up to 1024, we find a $3σ$ distinction between maps with local non-Gaussianity $f_{NL}=350$ (or $f_{NL}=-700$) and Gaussian maps. We present evidence that high resolution CMB studies will strongly enhance the sensitivity of the Canny algorithm to non-Gaussianity, making it a promising technique to estimate primordial non-Gaussianity.

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Entfernung von Gipskrusten auf Sandsteinoberflächen durch sulfatreduzierende Bakterien. Zwei verschiedene Bakterienstämme konnten im Rahmen der Arbeit erfolgreich in den nötigen Größenordnungen angezüchtet werden. Durch mehrere Vorversuche konnten die Rahmenbedingungen entscheidend verbessert werden. Es wurden außerdem Applikationstechniken - der Gebrauch von Kunststofffolien sowie die Verwendung von Carbopol- Gel - überprüft und als geeignet für die Anwendung sulfatreduzierender Bakterien an Steinoberflächen bewertet. Die Biokompressen wurden auf unterschiedlichen Sandsteinoberflächen, sächsischen Sandsteinen aus Dresden, rotem Sandstein an Schloss Ksiaz in Polen und Sandstein am Hildesheimer Dom appliziert. Dabei konnte in den Untersuchungen eine quantitative Salzreduzierung und auch ein leichter optischer Erfolg verzeichnet werden.
Im Ergebnis ist der Einsatz von sulfatreduzierenden Bakterien für den Restaurator mit dem Equipment, das an der HAWK zur Verfügung steht, durchführbar. Die Bakterien können über mehrere Tage am Luftsauerstoff überleben. Damit ist eine Begrenzung des Einsatzes nicht gegeben.
Das Ergebnis erscheint sowohl aus der Sicht der strukturellen Salzverminderung als auch unter ästhetischen Gesichtspunkten mit der klassischen „AMC- Kompresse“ vergleichbar. Auf Grund der großen Zeit- und Kostenfaktoren kann die Durchführung jedoch nicht uneingeschränkt empfohlen werden.

description: We discuss the neutrino masses and mixings as the realization of an $S_{3}$ flavour permutational symmetry in two models, namely the Standard Model and an extension of the Standard Model with three Higgs doublets. In the $S_3$ Standard Model, mass matrices of the same generic form are obtained for the neutrinos and charged leptons when the $S_{3}$ flavour symmetry is broken sequentially. In the minimal $S_{3}$-symmetric extension of the Standard Model, the $S_3$ symmetry is left unbroken, and the concept of flavour is extended to the Higgs sector by introducing in the theory three Higgs fields which are SU(2) doublets. In both models, the mass matrices of the neutrino and charged leptons are reparametrized in terms of their eigenvalues, and exact, explicit analytical expressions for the neutrino mixing angles as functions of the masses of neutrinos and charged leptons are obtained. In the case of the $S_3$ Standard Model, from a $χ^{2}$ fit of the theoretical expressions of the lepton mixing matrix to the values extracted from experiment, the numerical values of the neutrino mixing angles are obtained in excellent agreement with experimental data. In the $S_3$ extension of the Standard Model, if two of the right handed neutrinos masses are degenerate, the reactor and atmospheric mixing angles are determined by the masses of the charged leptons, yielding $θ_{23}$ in excellent agreement with experimental data, and $θ_{13}$ different from zero but very small. If the masses of the three right handed neutrinos are assumed to be different, then it is possible to get $θ_{13}$ also in very good agreement with experimental data. We also show the branching ratios of some selected flavour changing neutral currents (FCNC) process as well as the contribution of the exchange of a neutral flavour changing scalar to the anomaly of the magnetic moment of the muon.

description: We calculate form-factor ratios between the semileptonic decays \bar{B}->D^+\ell^-\barν and \bar{B}_s->D_s^+\ell^-\barν with lattice QCD. These ratios are a key theoretical input in a new strategy to determine the fragmentation fractions of the neutral B decays, which are needed for measurements of BR(B^0_s-> μ^+μ^-). We use the MILC ensembles of gauge configurations with 2+1 flavors of sea quarks at two lattice spacings of approximately 0.12 fm and 0.09 fm. We use the model-independent z-parametrization to extrapolate our simulation results at small recoil toward maximum recoil. Our results for the form-factor ratios are $f_0^{(s)}(M^2_π)/f_0^{(d)}(M^2_K) =1.046(44)_{stat.}(15)_{syst.}$ and $f_0^{(s)}(M^2_π)/f_0^{(d)}(M^2_π)=1.054(47)_{stat.}(17)_{syst.}$. In contrast to a QCD sum-rule calculation, no significant departure from U-spin (ds) symmetry is observed.

description: The ability to distribute quantum entanglement is a prerequisite for many fundamental tests of quantum theory and numerous quantum information protocols. Two distant parties can increase the amount of entanglement between them by means of quantum communication encoded in a carrier that is sent from one party to the other. Intriguingly, entanglement can be increased even when the exchanged carrier is not entangled with the parties. However, in light of the defining property of entanglement stating that it cannot increase under classical communication, the carrier must be quantum. Here we show that, in general, the increase of relative entropy of entanglement between two remote parties is bounded by the amount of non-classical correlations of the carrier with the parties as quantified by the relative entropy of discord. We study implications of this bound, provide new examples of entanglement distribution via unentangled states and put further limits on this phenomenon.

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Migrationen Paula Wallischs 1919-1939. 1919 floh Wallisch nach dem Zusammenbruch der Ungarischen Räterepublik aus Szegedin/Szeged zu ihrer Familie nach Marburg/Maribor. Gemeinsam mit ihrem Mann Koloman Wallisch floh sie 1920 erneut, diesmal nach Österreich, wo sich die Wallischs in der Steiermark niederlassen sollten. Nach der Hinrichtung ihres Mannes 1934 begab sich Paula erneut nach Marburg/Maribor und folgte von dort aus der Einladung, nach Prag zu kommen, um sich dem tschechoslowakischen Exil der österreichischen Sozialdemokratie anzuschließen. 1939 ging sie nach Wien, wo sie rund vier Monate in Gestapo-Haft kam, bevor sie nach Graz zurückkehrte. Am konkretesten machte Wallisch im tschechoslowakischen Exil von ihrer agency Gebrauch, die stark an ihren geschlechtsspezifischen Sonderstatus als Märtyrerwitwe geknüpft war. Sie benutzt diesen, um Versorgung für sich und andere Geflüchtete einzufordern. Während der Migrationsetappen 1919 und 1939 stellt sie sich in ihren Autobiographien als handlungsmächtig und aktiv dar. Bei der einzigen Flucht als Paar 1920 ist das nicht der Fall. Bei all ihren Migrationsbewegungen kann Paula Wallisch auf umfangreiche Netzwerke zurückgreifen, die sie unterstützen.

description: A new scaling formalism is used to analyze nonlinear I-V data in the vicinity of metal-insulator transitions (MIT) in five manganite systems. An exponent, called the nonlinearity exponent, and an onset field for nonlinearity, both characteristic of the system under study, are obtained from the analysis. The onset field is found to have an anomalously low value corroborating the theoretically predicted electronically soft phases. The scaling functions above and below the MIT of a polycrystalline sample are found to be the same but with different exponents which are attributed to the distribution of the MIT temperatures. The applicability of the scaling in manganites underlines the universal response of the disordered systems to electric field.

Transoceanic Canada : the regional cosmopolitanism of George Woodcock
Creators: name: Hiebert, Matthew
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Through a critical examination of his oeuvre in relation to his transoceanic geographical and intellectual mobility, this dissertation argues that George Woodcock (1912-1995) articulates and applies a normative and methodological approach I term "regional cosmopolitanism". I trace the development of this philosophy from its germination in London's thirties and forties, when Woodcock drifted from the poetics of the "Auden generation" towards the anti-imperialism of Mahatma Gandhi and the anarchist aesthetic modernism of Sir Herbert Read. I show how these connected influences--and those also of Mulk Raj Anand, Marie-Louise Berneri, Prince Peter Kropotkin, George Orwell, and French Surrealism--affected Woodcock's critical engagements via print and radio with the Canadian cultural landscape of the Cold War and its concurrent countercultural long sixties. Woodcock's dynamic and dialectical understanding of the relationship between literature and society produced a key intervention in the development of Canadian literature and its critical study leading up to the establishment of the Canada Council and the groundbreaking journal "Canadian Literature". Through his research and travels in India--where he established relations with the exiled Dalai Lama and major figures of an independent English Indian literature--Woodcock relinquished the universalism of his modernist heritage in practising, as I show, a postcolonial and postmodern situated critical cosmopolitanism that advocates globally relevant regional culture as the interplay of various traditions shaped by specific geographies. I account for the relationships that pertain between this cosmopolitanism and the theories of the other most prominent Canadian cultural critics of the period, Northrop Frye and Marshall McLuhan. Woodcock's regional cosmopolitanism, advancing a culturally and politically confederate country as first established by Canadian Aboriginal civilizations, charged the ascending Romantic nationalism of the period with imperialism. As a theory of "common ground" fostering participatory agency for the post-national global village, regional cosmopolitanism offers an alternative to multiculturalism and Western humanist models of organization associated with neoliberalism.

description: Der Überzug von Naturharzfirnissen mit Kunstharzen wie z.B. Paraloid®B72 ist auf Gemälden zum Teil gängige Praxis, um deren Gilbungsneigung zu verringern.
Im Zuge der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden die Naturharzfirnisse Dammar und Mastix mit Filmen der synthetischen Harze Regalrez®R1094 und Laropal®A81 überzogen und unter verschiedenen Bedingungen natürlich und künstlich gealtert. Mit Hilfe colorimetrischer Messungen, der MALDI-Massenspektrometrie und der FTIR-Spektometrie wurden die gealterten Firnissysteme untersucht, wodurch Unterschiede im Gilbungsverhalten respektive in der Degradation der Naturharze festgestellt werden konnten. Dadurch konnten Rückschlüsse auf die Funktion und den Einfluss von Kunstharzüberzügen auf die Alterungsprozesse in Naturharzfirnissen gezogen werden.

description: We report 31P-NMR and specific heat measurements on an iron (Fe)-based superconductor SrFe2(As0.65P0.35)2 with Tc=26 K, which have revealed the development of antiferromagnetic correlations in the normal state and the unconventional superconductivity(SC) with nodal gap dominated by the gapless low-lying quasiparticle excitations. The results are consistently argued with an unconventional multiband SC state with the gap-size ratio of different bands being significantly large; the large full gaps in s\pm-wave state keep Tc high, whereas a small gap with a nodal-structure causes gapless feature under magnetic field. The present results will develop an insight into the strong material dependence of SC-gap structure in Fe-based superconductors.

description: Healthcare is a fundamental necessity that profoundly impacts the quality of life by preventing diseases, improving well-being, and enhancing productivity. Access to quality healthcare reduces mortality rates, promotes economic stability, and strengthens communities. However, in Nigeria, significant disparities exist, with rural populations, low-income groups, and marginalized communities facing severe challenges in accessing healthcare. States in the northern region, such as Borno and Yobe, experience inadequate healthcare infrastructure due to ongoing conflicts, while areas like Rivers and Lagos struggle with overburdened medical facilities due to rapid urbanization.
Thermalization and dissipation in out of equilibrium quantum systems: A perturbative renormalization group approach

description: A perturbative renormalization group approach is employed to study the effect of a periodic potential on a system of one-dimensional bosons in a non-equilibrium steady-state due to an initial interaction quench. The renormalization group flows are modified significantly from the well known equilibrium Berezinski-Kosterlitz-Thouless form. They show several new features such as, a generation of an effective temperature, generation of dissipation, as well as a change in the location of the quantum critical point separating the weak coupling and strong coupling phases. Detailed results on the weak-coupling side of the phase diagram are presented, such as the renormalization of the parameters and the asymptotic behavior of the correlation functions. The physical origin of the generated temperature and friction is discussed.

StrongHold : a secure data platform for smart homes
Creators: name: Clapauch, Jaques
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Security is an important concern in day to day life, far augmented when related to sensitive data, such as private information. As such, it is paramount to protect environments and devices wherein the greater amount of information is private, such as in a home, and its encompassing devices; especially so, as the level of privacy desired in a home is much greater than other private mediums. The issue is further exacerbated in a smart home scenario, where applications are ubiquitous and are constantly communicating with the outside world: this impending technological innovation results in previously private data suddenly becoming accessible through non-physical means, allowing potential breaches in privacy. The accessibility to previously unreachable means brings forth new threats that must be tackled to ensure proper confidentiality is kept. Furthermore, proper accessibility of the physical devices must be engaged, due to their newfound non-physically accessibly nature. We survey the security threats existent in smart home environments, along with possible solutions to mitigate the threats. We use methods ranging from human computer interaction, storage optimization, and behavioral learning to better ensure proper functionality. We integrate the solutions in a cohesive form to be applied to any smart home environment that wishes to best keep high confidentiality, availability and integrity. We test the system to ensure the secure data messaging platform provides sufficient throughput for high definition media storage in real time, as potentially necessary in a smart home We supplement our study by creating a system capable of functioning on top of the smart server, which unobtrusively automates the daily task of recipe selection, via meal advocation through past meal selection; we do so unobtrusively in an attempt to prevent deviation from conventional home environments. We present a method which possesses higher granularity than the present meal recommendation technologies, and yet, requires less interaction than the web equivalents. Finally, we interface the algorithm to a real smart home server, evaluate the application on real users, and assess their reaction to the technology.

description: Credit risk analysis and making accurate investment and lending decisions has been a challenge for the financial industry for many years, as can be seen with the 2008 financial crisis. However, with the rise of machine learning models and predictive analytics, there has been a shift to increased reliance on technology for determining credit risk. This transition to machine learning comes with both advantages, such as potentially eliminating human error and assumptions from lending decisions, and disadvantages, such as time constraints, data usage inabilities, and lack of understanding nuances in machine learning models. In this paper, I look at four different machine learning models developed in the past few years specifically for credit analysis. I will explore their effectiveness and the factors and datasets they individually use. I then summarize how my analysis on these models can be used by future researchers to both develop new machine learning models for credit risk analysis and find more potential analysis options, along with how this research could help with increased reliance of machine learning in the financial industry on a broader scale.
Premioro® - Eine Form- und Gießmasse und ihre ergänzungsmedialen Möglichkeiten in der Keramikrestaurierung

Subjects: Conservation Restoration

description: Zur Erlangung des Diplomgrades im Bereich Konservierung- und Restaurierung für Kunst- und Kulturgut kommt dem naturwissenschaftlichen Beleg an der Fachhochschule Erfurt eine gesonderte Rolle zu. So besteht für den Studierenden anhand einer selbst gewählten Projektarbeit die Möglichkeit, das berufsrelevante Verständnis der im Studium vermittelten naturwissenschaftlichen Kenntnisse zu vertiefen, im besten Falle spezifisch zu erweitern. Den Mittelpunkt bildet eine ausgedehnte Forschungstätigkeit, welche es gestattet, die praktischen Vorhaben unter Einbeziehung technischer Hilfsmittel und Gegebenheiten umzusetzen. In diesem Rahmen entstand in einer Zeitspanne von November 2008 bis März 2010 die vorliegende Arbeit.
Die Restaurierung von keramischen Erzeugnissen weist eine ebenso wechselvolle Vergangenheit auf wie deren technologische und künstlerische Entwicklung. Die heutige Wahl des entsprechenden Ergänzungsmaterials ist von verschiedenen Parametern abhängig und obliegt der individuellen Entscheidung des jeweiligen Restaurators. Mit Premioro® liegt dem Restaurator ein neuartiges Produkt vor, welches sich in positiver Weise durch seine ökonomischen und materialspezifischen Eigenschaften auszeichnet. Inwiefern sich diese für die Keramikrestaurierung als nutzbar erweisen, ist Gegenstand der vorliegenden Arbeit.
Die Aufgabenstellung bestand zum einen darin zwei unterschiedliche Modifikationen des Produktes Premioro®, unter konservatorischen Kriterien, relevanten Tests zu unterziehen. Deren Durchführung und Auswertung galt es zu vergleichen, um Rückschlüsse auf die konservatorisch wie restauratorische Verwendbarkeit der Form- und Gießmasse zu ermöglichen. Neben materialspezifischen Eigenschaften, wie sie bspw. unter dem Aspekt der Reversibilität und der Einfärbung von Premioro® zu sehen sind, galt es weiterführende Testreihen durchzuführen. Diese beschäftigten sich mit der künstlichen Alterung, welche parallel die Verträglichkeit mit häufig in der Keramikrestaurierung verwendeten Klebe- und Beschichtungsmaterialien beinhaltete. Daneben sollten die Wärmebeständigkeit des Materials und die Emission von Luftschadstoffen geprüft werden.
Weitere Versuche an keramischen Referenzobjekten sollten die Anwendungsmöglichkeiten von Premioro® in seiner Praxisnähe zeigen. Entsprechend der vorangegangenen Testreihen fanden die Materialgruppen von poröser und gesinterter Keramik Berücksichtigung, wobei sich die Aufgabenstellungen des jeweils durchgeführten restauratorischen Eingriffes in Funktion und Komplexität unterschieden.

description: In this note we prove a non-renormalization theorem for the 3-point functions of 1/2 BPS primaries in the four-dimensional N = 4 SYM and chiral primaries in two dimensional N =(4,4) SCFTs. Our proof is rather elementary: it is based on Ward identities and the structure of the short multiplets of the superconformal algebra and it does not rely on superspace techniques. We also discuss some possible generalizations to less supersymmetric multiplets.

Medical Cannabis in Nigeria: A case for Legal Reform and Commercial Viability
Creators: name: Onyenuwe, Ruth
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025
Subjects: Medical cannabis

description: As global perspectives on cannabis shift towards medical acceptance and economic opportunity, Nigeria continues to maintain strict prohibitions under outdated legislation. This paper critically explores the potential of medical cannabis as a tool for healthcare innovation and economic diversification in Nigeria. It examines the legal history, including the Indian Hemp Act of 1966, the role of the NDLEA, and the influence of international drug treaties on national policy. Drawing on international examples and emerging research, the work advocates for a pragmatic, regulated approach to medical cannabis—starting with policy reform, controlled cultivation, and pilot programs. It also outlines how Nigeria’s fertile land and strategic positioning could support a thriving export industry while prioritising ethical considerations and public health. This publication contributes to the ongoing dialogue on drug policy reform, healthcare equity, and sustainable economic development in the Global South.

Tricellaria porteri

description: Tricellaria porteri (MacGillivray, 1889)
 Tricellaria porteri, which is, to date, only known from southern Australia, was highlighted by Occhipinti Ambrogi and d’ Hondt (1994) as a possible senior synonym of T. inopinata. The original description of Menipea porteri by MacGillivray (1889) refers to the presence of reniform (kidney-shaped) scuta, variable internode lengths and bi®d spines. It also refers to the ovicell pores as forming a single transverse row. We have examined paratype specimens of T. porteri, all from South Australia (including slides 65508, 65509, Rev. Porter collection; 65511, 65513, Museum of Victoria, Melbourne) and have come to the conclusion that this taxon is morphologically diOEerentiable from the other two taxa. The most striking characteristic is the consistently large and highly reniform scuta, quite unlike those encountered in the other two taxa (®gure 2). Only a small minority of scuta bear irregular margins. We observed 3±13 autozooids per internode and proximal external bi®d spines on many autozooids. Lateral avicularia were sparsely present. We found the arrangement of ovicell pores to be very variable, usually scattered but occasionally forming a row in the manner described by MacGillivray (1889).
 Two recent published descriptions from South Australia attributed to T. porteri present di culties. Bock (1982) made reference to variable internodes and`ovate’ scuta (but ®gured more irregularly-shaped ones) and made no mention of bi®d spines. This material needs re-appraising. Brock (1985) ®gured a variety of scuta morphologies and some bi®d spines. The former is only consistent with our characterization of T. inopinata. A more recent study makes reference to the presence of T. porteri as a fouling species in Port Kembla, New South Wales (Moran and Grant, 1993) although the information provided is insu cient to con®rm its identity according to the criteria de®ned here.

description: If the weak phase of B_s-anti B_s mixing (2 beta_s) is found to be significantly different from zero, this is a clear signal of new physics (NP). However, if such a signal is found, we would like an unambiguous determination of 2 beta_s in order to ascertain which NP models could be responsible. In addition, in the presence of NP, the width difference ΔΓ_s between the two B_s mass eigenstates can be positive or negative, and ideally this sign ambiguity should be resolved experimentally. Finally, in order to see if the NP is contributing to Γ^s_{12} in addition to M^s_{12}, the precise measurement of |Γ^s_{12}| is crucial. In this paper, we consider several different methods of measuring B_s-anti B_s mixing using two- and three-body decays with ${\bar b} \to {\bar c} u {\bar s}$ and ${\bar b} \to {\bar u} c {\bar s}$ transitions. We find that the most promising of these is a time-dependent Dalitz-plot analysis of $B_s (\bar B_s) \to D^0_{CP} K {\bar K}$. With these decays, all of the above issues can be addressed, and the measurement of the weak phase gamma is also possible. We also note that, with all three-body decays it is possible to resolve the sign ambiguity of ΔΓ_s even without determining the CP phase phi_s.
