description: This thesis addresses the fundamental aspects of controlling transport through organic molecules by presenting a series of studies in the electronic properties of molecular junctions. The exploration and understanding of the electronic characteristics of single molecules connected to electrodes is an essential part in the application of electronics. Here, I implemented transport calculations based on the Landauer formula combined with Kohn–Sham orbitals extracted from density functional theory (DFT). Chapter 4 elucidates the validity of a ‘curly arrow rule’, which has been used widely by chemists and physicists to predict the electronic properties of molecular junctions. Anthraquinone is found to break this rule in the case of meta connectivity to electrodes. This is significant, because changing the redox state of meta-connected dihydroxyanthracene to meta-connected anthraquinone, increases the conductance by a couple of orders of magnitude, due to the transition from constructive to destructive QI, which can help in the design of the QI based single-molecule switches such as data storage elements. Finally, chapter 5 presents a theoretical investigation of electron transport through dimethyldihydropyrene (DHP) and Cyclophanediene (CPD) systems focusses on changes in the conductance as a consequence of photochemical stimuli. These molecules could be exploited in the function of electronic devices, when responding to external stimuli

description: We carried out global three-dimensional resistive magnetohydrodynamic simulations of galactic gaseous disks to investigate how the galactic magnetic fields are amplified and maintained. We adopt a steady axisymmetric gravitational potential given by \cite*{Miy80}. As the initial condition, we assume a warm ($T\sim10^{5} \mathrm{K}$) rotating gas torus centered at $\varpi=10 \mathrm{kpc}$ threaded by weak azimuthal magnetic fields. Numerical results indicate that in differentially rotating galactic gaseous disks, magnetic fields are amplified due to magneto-rotational instability and magnetic turbulence develops. After the amplification of magnetic energy saturates, the disk stays in a quasi-steady state. The mean azimuthal magnetic field increases with time and shows reversals with period of 1Gyr (2Gyr for a full cycle). The amplitude of $B_ϕ$ near the equatorial plane is $B_ϕ\sim1.5μ\mathrm{G}$ at $\varpi=5 \mathrm{kpc}$. The magnetic fields show large fluctuations whose standard deviation is comparable to the mean field. The mean azimuthal magnetic field in the disk corona has direction opposite to the mean magnetic field inside the disk. The mass accretion rate driven by the Maxwell stress is $\sim10^{-3}M_{\odot}/ \mathrm{yr}$ at $\varpi=2.5 \mathrm{kpc}$ when the mass of the initial torus is $\sim5\times10^{8}M_{\odot}$.

description: This thesis examines the development of Black identity during the first half of the twentiethcentury in relation to colonialism and racial oppression. The chapters focus on constructing Black identity through a comparative analysis of Nigerian and African-American novels published between 1900-1960s. To do so, I use psychoanalysis, mainly the Freudian frameworks, to examine how Black identity is approached, criticised, and embraced by the protagonists. Through analysing the generational shift—from father to son—in the selected novels, I argue that the changes in Black identity are influenced by the protagonists’ involvement with “the white man’s” culture. Moreover, through using the psychoanalytical approach, I examine individual representations of Blackness instead of the collective, which sheds light on marginalised forms of Black identity(ies) in relation to traditional/folk culture, gender, and nationalism. Therefore, in Chapter One, I analyse the continuity of cultural traditions from one generation to the next in Amos Tutuola’s The Palm-Wine Drinkard (1952) and Langston Hughes’s Not Without Laughter (1930) using Bowlby and Ainsworth’s Attachment Theory. Chapter Two examines the generational conflict that results from the new generation’s access to Christianity and education in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart (1958) and James Baldwin’s Go Tell It on the Mountain (1953). In this chapter, I utilise Freud’s Oedipus complex to study different—and conflicted—representations of Black masculinity in relation to Black identity. The third chapter provides an analysis of the link between Black identity and national consciousness in Cyprian Ekwensi’s People of the City (1963) and Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man (1952). By focusing on the protagonists’ identity loss, I use Lacan’s Name-of-The-Father theory to examine father-figures’ role in guiding the protagonists towards constructing collective/national identity. While throughout this thesis I examine twentiethcentury Black identity(ies), in the Conclusion I address the question of Africa’s position in relation to Blackness and Black identity debates in recent times. To do so, I provide an overview of early twenty-first century socio-cultural changes and its effect on the construction of contemporary Black identity and the cross-Atlantic unity between Africa and the Diaspora.
Sublimity and history in Don Delillo's Underworld
Creators: name: Ticinovic, Maria Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Don DeLillo's work has long been concerned with the effacement of the individual consciousness and the decay of a social context by the technologies of a simulacrum culture. DeLillo echoes Jean Baudrillard's concern that image technologies make it so that "people no longer project themselves into their objects" ("The Ecstasy of Communication" 127). For DeLillo, the "psychological dimension" that Baudrillard eulogized has been similarly effaced by our concern with money and advertising values and ideals (127). This totalizing, effacing force of the capitalist culture and ideology in DeLillo's work has been characterized by Joseph Tabbi as the technological or postmodern sublime: the "large forces of corporate organization that control the social and economic relations among human beings" (7). In Underworld, DeLillo complicates a sublime aesthetic to demonstrate how these ideological forces constitute a negative sublime that represses history and constrains consciousness, and how a positive sublime lies in fiction's power to reveal lost histories and realities. For DeLillo, this is a moral obligation on the part of the novelist and reader to face personal and social history and trauma. In this essay, I will assess why Don DeLillo uses an aesthetic of sublimity to define what his idea of sublime power is today, investigating how the novel represents the totalitarian power of capitalist ideology repressing certain human realities, in official cultural media and historical records. I will use psychoanalytic ideas of sublimity as a source of fascination and a mechanism of repression, and Slavoj Zizek's transposition of those psychological structures onto the larger culture. In the final section, I will demonstrate how Underworld is an example of DeLillo's aesthetic philosophy: the power of fiction to use those ideological mechanisms of repression to access repressed history, in personal and cultural memory. Using Herbert Marcuse's ideas of the political function of art, I will argue that Underworld is not an ahistorical postmodern pastiche of fragments, but instead represents a turn in DeLillo's work towards a new spirituality or humanism, one which preserves a postmodern aesthetic of plurality and reaches beyond the sometimes banal issues of regionalism.

description: Birds, including members of the families Anatidae (waterfowl) and Laridae (gulls and terns), serve as the major reservoir of influenza A viruses (IAVs). The ecogeographic contributions of gulls to global IAV dynamics, in terms of geographic scale and virus movements, are important and are distinct from those of waterfowl. Gulls primarily carry the H13 and H16 subtypes, yet can be infected by additional subtypes. Also, gulls are frequently infected by IAVs that contain mixtures of genes from different geographic phylogenetic lineages (e.g. North American and Eurasian). The present analysis examines a variety of viruses isolated from gulls and terns across the world that exhibit particularly high phylogenetic affinities to viruses found in other hosts. This illustrates the potential for gulls to act as highly pathogenic virus carriers, disseminators of viruses over long distances, and contributors in the genesis of pandemic strains. The historical evolution of an entirely Eurasian gull virus isolated in North America was also traced and indicates the Caspian Sea, in southwestern Asia, was an important area for the generation of this virus, and analysis of IAVs from terns also points to this region as relevant for the generation of novel strains.

description: This paper examines current marketing practices by Mississippi soybean producers as well as willingness to participate in a marketing cooperative and willingness to plant Identity Preserved soybeans. In general, most Mississippi soybean producers utilize cash sales at harvest or forward contracting as primary marketing tools. Use of futures and options is found to increase with farm size. Willingness to participate in a marketing cooperative (pool) is found to be effected by use of cash sales at harvest as a primary marketing tool, money spent on gathering marketing information, previous experience with marketing pools, and age of the respondent. Willingness to plant Identity Preserved soybeans is directly related to offered premiums.
Spectroscopy and Stellar Populations of Star-forming Galaxies at z~3 in the Hubble Deep Field - South

description: We present results of VLT/FORS2 spectroscopy of galaxies at z~3 in the Hubble Deep Field-South (HDF-S). A sample of galaxies was drawn from the photo-z catalogue based on the HST/WFPC2 optical images and the deep near-infrared images obtained with VLT/ISAAC as a part of the FIRES project. We selected galaxies with photometric redshift between 2.5 and 4. Most of the selected galaxies are bright in rest-frame UV wavelengths and satisfy color selection criteria of Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) at z~3. The number of target galaxies with I(AB)<25.0 was 15. We identified new 5 firm and 2 probable redshifts in addition to confirmations of previously known 6 galaxies at z~3. We found 6 among these 13 galaxies lie at a quite narrow redshift range at z = 2.80+-0.01. We examined stellar populations of the galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts through comparisons of their optical and near-IR photometry data with template spectra generated by a population synthesis code. The ages from the onset of star formation for these star-forming galaxies with I<=25.0 are typically 50-200 Myr, and their stellar masses are between (0.5-5) x 10^10 M_sun, consistent with previous studies. We also compared these SED fitting results with those for distant red galaxies (DRGs) at z>2 discovered by FIRES. DRGs have larger stellar masses, larger dust attenuation than our UV-luminous LBG sample, and their star formation rates are often comparable to LBGs. These trends suggest that majority of DRGs are indeed the most massive systems at the redshift and are still in the active star-forming phase. Unless the number density of DRGs is much smaller than LBGs, estimates based on UV selected sample could miss substantial part of stellar mass density at z~3.

description: The disease-free (control) and blast infected leaf samples of 11 rice genotypes were evaluated for activity profile of defense-related and antioxidative enzymes. The amplification genomic DNA with two SSR markers RM124 and RM224 were also performed for identification of blast resistance and susceptible genotypes. The activity of chitinase, PAL and β-glucosidase of post pathogen-infected leaf samples increased significantly in all rice genotypes, thought the increase was comparable less in to blast susceptible genotypes Chimansal and EK-70. The activity of antioxidative enzymes was comparatively higher in the infected leaf of blast resistant genotypes recording highest increase in NLR-20104 and KJT-5. The activity of defense-related and antioxidative enzymes in the disease-free leaf samples differed among the genotypes and was even higher in the two blast susceptible genotypes. RM144 and RM224 SSR primers clearly amplified in blast resistant KJT-5, NLR-20104, KJT-2, Tetep genotypes whereas RM144 missing in susceptible Chimansal but prominently present in susceptible genotype EK-70. This study revealed that higher level of induction of defense-related and antioxidative enzymes and presence of specific amplified fragments with RM144 and RM224 could be useful for screening the resistant and susceptible rice genotypes against Magnaporthe oryzae.

description: Mississippi cotton farmers are adjusting to the current problem of low cotton price and high cotton production cost by modifying the way(s) they have traditionally grown cotton. This paper compares seven alternative production systems to the costs and returns associated with the conventional or traditional system labeled "solid cotton, 8-row equipment." Systems that combine wider equipment (less labor and machinery time per acre) with reduced tillage technology appear to offer opportunities to increase returns. Specific adjustments on individual farms will probably be dominated by the distribution of soil types.

description: We provide a rigorous treatment of continuous limits for various generalizations of the pentagram map on polygons in $\mathbb{RP}^d$ by means of quantum calculus. Describing this limit in detail for the case of the short-diagonal pentagram map, we verify that this construction yields the $(2,d+1)$-KdV equation, and moreover, the Lax form of the pentagram map in the limit is proved to become the Lax representation of the corresponding KdV system. More generally, we introduce the $χ$-pentagram map, a geometric construction defining curve evolutions by directly taking intersections of subspaces through specified points. We show that its different configurations yield certain other KdV equations and provide an argument towards disproving the conjecture that any KdV-type equation can be discretized through pentagram-type maps.

description: We consider a random aggregate of identical frictionless elastic spheres that has first been subjected to an isotropic compression and then sheared. We assume that the average strain provides a good description of how stress is built up in the initial isotropic compression. However, when calculating the increment in the displacement between a typical pair of contaction particles due to the shearing, we employ force equilibrium for the particles of the pair, assuming that the average strain provides a good approximation for their interactions with their neighbors. The incorporation of these additional degrees of freedom in the displacement of a typical pair relaxes the system, leading to a decrease in the effective moduli of the aggregate. The introduction of simple models for the statistics of the ordinary and conditional averages contributes an additional decrease in moduli. The resulting value of the shear modulus is in far better agreement with that measured in numerical simulations.

This model spontaneously generates pole-to-pole oscillations of the membrane-associated MinD proteins, MinE ring, as well as filaments of the membrane-associated MinD proteins. Experimental data suggest MinD filaments are two-stranded. In order to model them we assume that each membrane-associated MinD protein can form up to three bonds with adjacent membrane associated MinD molecules and that MinE induced hydrolysis strongly depends on the number of bonds MinD has established.

description: The aim of this thesis is to study the discourse that surrounds two common reference terms, ‘d/Deaf’ and ‘hearing-impaired’, for the North American d/Deaf community and determine how this group is being represented through that discourse. The field of Deaf Studies has long discussed the two opposing viewpoints on d/Deaf people: the humanistic/cultural view and the medical/pathological view (Lane, 1995; 1999; Lane, Hoffmeister, & Bahan, 1996), each of which provide an understanding of a d/Deaf person’s status and social positioning as either a member of a cultural and linguistic minority or of a disabled population. While this provides us insight into the sociological understandings of d/Deaf people, which have been highly contested on both sides, there has been little to no focus on the linguistic realization of these opposing viewpoints. In this thesis, I investigate contemporary American discourse between the years 1990—2015, including a range of genres, within which the reference terms ‘d/Deaf’ and ‘hearing-impaired’ are found. In total, I explored the discourse from over 3000 texts, consisting of media, legal, educational, and other genres. The results of my study demonstrate the ways in which the ideologies behind each of the perspectives manifest in discourse, providing evidence to support the view that a choice in reference term (‘d/Deaf’ vs. ‘hearing-impaired’) primes a particular discourse that serves the agenda of the ideology within which it is grounded. Overall, this thesis applies the framework of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to the context of Deaf studies, exemplifying the ways in which certain discourses perpetuate the unequal power dynamics that exist between d/Deaf and hearing individuals. Through a combination of corpus analyses, including concordances and collocations, and text analyses following the tradition of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) (Halliday, 1985; 1994a; Halliday & Mattheissen, 2014), including transitivity (Halliday, 1994a; Thompson, 2004, ), social actor representation (van Leeuwen, 1996) and Appraisal (Martin, 2000; Martin & White, 2005), this study explains the intricacies of how the social representation of d/Deaf people is linked with those reference terms and the discourse that surrounds them. It reveals that ‘hearing-impaired’ carries with it the connotation of pathology and is as such a representation of someone who is defective, incapable, and weak, while ‘d/Deaf’ has the ability to represent a person as able, competent, and proud. These findings call into question our use of identifying terms and what kind of implications our selections can have on the perception of that individual and the social group of which they are a member.

description: A stochastic frontier model is used to explain the performance evaluation of U.S. university extension providers by organic producers. The model makes explicit the nonmanagerial factors that influence both performance ratings and performance efficiency, defined as achieving a rating as close to the "best" rating as possible. Results indicate that extension agents are performing at relatively high mean efficiency of 0.92, but that the average rating is relatively low at 2.66 on a four-point scale. Several sources of potential bias in ratings are identified as a way for managers to more accurately conduct individual performance assessments. Programmatic changes to emphasize more collaborative research and training are suggested by the positive effects on performance efficiency associated with farmer research commitment and production problem severity.

description: The galactic environment of the Sun varies over short timescales as the Sun and interstellar clouds travel through space. Small variations in the dynamics, ionization, density, and magnetic field strength of the interstellar medium (ISM) surrounding the Sun yield pronounced changes in the heliosphere. We discuss essential information required to understand short-term variations in the galactic environment of the Sun, including the distribution and radiative transfer properties of nearby ISM, and variations in the boundary conditions of the heliosphere as the Sun traverses clouds. The most predictable transitions are when the Sun emerged from the Local Bubble interior and entered the cluster of local interstellar clouds flowing past the Sun, within the past 140,000 years, and again when the Sun entered the local interstellar cloud now surrounding and inside of the solar system, sometime during the past 44,000 years.

description: In the southwestern Mediterranean Basin, cork oaks (Quercus suber L.) are periodically harvested for their cork. This natural product is valued by its homogeneity which heightens the importance of characterizing cork tissue discontinuities, or cork pores. Cork porosity profile in natural cork planks has been reported to be affected by forest management practices but, so far, has been scarcely addressed. We characterize the cork porosity profile in two contrasting cork oak woodland; at a mountain forest, in Western Algeria (absence of forest management) and at a peneplain “montado,” in southern Portugal (intensively managed toward the optimization of cork production). Image analysis techniques were applied on transverse sections of more than 40 cork samples from both woodland, and a stepwise discriminant analysis was used to discriminate between the cork pore features data-sets. Cork porosity profiles were similar between regions but; in the cork samples from Algeria, cork pores were having higher values for linear dimensions of pores (length and perimeter) and contrasting shape values (roundness) which depreciate cork quality, when compared to the cork samples from Portugal. However, improved woodland management strategies at Algeria should ensure adequate cork homogeneity and suitability for more valuable cork products.
KGF and FGF-10 expression in human gingival fibroblast cells by serum, pro-inflammatory cytokines and drugs that are associated with gingival overgrowth

description: Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) and fibroblast growth factor-10 (FGF-10) are two highly homologous members of the fibroblast growth factor family that are expressed by fibroblast cells and are know to be paracrine mediators that induce epithelial cell proliferation in psoriasis, Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis. KGF expression is highly upregulated during wound healing and chronic inflammation. Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that has associated with it proliferation of the oral sulcular and junctional epithelium during disease onset. However, the KGF and FGF-10 expression in human gingival fibroblasts has not yet been confirmed by any study. Therefore, we examined the KGF and FGF-10 protein and gene expression using serum, pro-inflammatory cytokines (EL-lα, IL-iβ, IL-6, TNF-α) and drugs associated with gingival overgrowth (Cyclosporine-A (CSA), Dilantin, and Nifedipine). Northern results showed that treatment of fibroblast cells with 10.0% FBS, IL-lα, IL-β, and CSA increased KGF expression by 1.2, 1.2, 1.13, and 1.2 fold at 3 hours and by 1.6, 1.6, 1.4, and 2 fold at 6 hours, respectively. On the other hand, TNF-α and IL-6 increased the KGF expression by 1.25 and 1.2 at 3 hours but decreased to 1.16 and 1.1 at 6 hours, respectively. However, these treatments did not change FGF-10 mRNA expression levels. In addition to Northern analysis, the sandwich ELISA technique was used to investigate protein expression. Using this technique, we found that KGF protein level in human gingival fibroblasts was maximally increased by 24 hours and decreased over time, when treated with pro-inflammatory cytokines. In addition, treatment of six different gingival fibroblast cell lines (3 isolated from sites of periodontal health and 3 from chronic periodontitis) with proinflammatory cytokines and drugs associated gingival overgrowth, illustrated that pro-inflammatory cytokines and CSA treatment increased KGF protein expression in all six-cell lines similarly. However, Nifedipine and Dilantin failed to do so. Lastly, in a combination study, the presence of one cytokine with CSA induced KGF protein expression but no additive effect was found. The result of this study illustrated that the upregulation of KGF expression, may play an important role during epithelial proliferation in periodontitis and CSA associated gingival overgrowth.

description: Convincing evidence of a past interaction between two rich clusters A399 and A401 was recently found by the X-ray imaging observations. In this paper we examine the structure and dynamics of this pair of galaxy clusters. A mixture-modeling algorithm has been applied to obtain a robust partition into two clusters, which allows us to discuss the virial mass and velocity distribution for each cluster. Assuming that these two clusters follow a linear orbit and they have once experienced a close encounter, we model the binary cluster as a two-body system. As a result, four gravitationally bound solutions are obtained. The recent X-ray observations seem to favor a scenario in which the two clusters with a true separation of $5.4h^{-1}$ Mpc are currently expanding at 583 km/s along the direction with a projection angle of 67.5 degree, and they will reach a maximum extent of $5.65h^{-1}$ Mpc in about $1.0h^{-1}$ Gyr.

description: Caffeic acid (CA) is a well-known natural compound used for both health supplement and metabolic diseases. In the present study, single, easy, and quick isolation procedure of caffeic acid was described from rosmarinic acid. A quick crystal formation also was described for highly hygroscopic CA which was spontaneous and stable with lower hygroscopic nature. In addition, the produced crystal CA was highly stable and showed neuroprotective activity with <6 μg/ml in R28 cell line and cytotoxic activity with >100 μg/ml in U87 MG which revealed its dual biological effect for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and cancer, respectively.

description: Birds, including members of the families Anatidae (waterfowl) and Laridae (gulls and terns), serve as the major reservoir of influenza A viruses (IAVs). The ecogeographic contributions of gulls to global IAV dynamics, in terms of geographic scale and virus movements, are important and are distinct from those of waterfowl. Gulls primarily carry the H13 and H16 subtypes, yet can be infected by additional subtypes. Also, gulls are frequently infected by IAVs that contain mixtures of genes from different geographic phylogenetic lineages (e.g. North American and Eurasian). The present analysis examines a variety of viruses isolated from gulls and terns across the world that exhibit particularly high phylogenetic affinities to viruses found in other hosts. This illustrates the potential for gulls to act as highly pathogenic virus carriers, disseminators of viruses over long distances, and contributors in the genesis of pandemic strains. The historical evolution of an entirely Eurasian gull virus isolated in North America was also traced and indicates the Caspian Sea, in southwestern Asia, was an important area for the generation of this virus, and analysis of IAVs from terns also points to this region as relevant for the generation of novel strains.

description: The disposal of accumulated agricultural pesticides is an expensive proposition due to the hazardous nature of these materials. States have inititated unwanted pesticide collection efforts based on several funding options. Through an evaluation of regulations, funding options and comparison of amounts of pesticides collected to expenditures for pesticides, our paper offers some recommendations for future state collection efforts. It may be advantageous to give greater weight to efficiency considerations for the disposal of existing unwanted pesticide stocks, while equity considerations may be emphasized for the disposal of anticipated future stocks.
Kelvin Helmholtz Instability and Circulation Transfer at an Isotropic-Anisotropic Superfluid Interface in a Neutron Star

description: A recent laboratory experiment (Blaauwgeers et al. 2003) suggests that a Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability at the interface between two superfluids, one rotating and anisotropic, the other stationary and isotropic, may trigger sudden spin-up of the stationary superfluid. This result suggests that a KH instability at the crust-core ($^1S_0$-$^3P_2$-superfluid) boundary of a neutron star may provide a trigger mechanism for pulsar glitches. We calculate the dispersion relation of the KH instability involving two different superfluids including the normal fluid components and their effects on stability, particularly entropy transport. We show that an entropy difference between the core and crust superfluids reduces the threshold differential shear velocity and threshold crust-core density ratio. We evaluate the wavelength of maximum growth of the instability for neutron star parameters and find the resultant circulation transfer to be within the range observed in pulsar glitches.

description: The trace identity associated with the scale transformation $x^μ\tox'{}^μ= e^{-ρ}x^μ$ on the Lagrangian density for the noninteracting electromagnetic field in the covariant gauge is shown to be violated on a single plate on which the Dirichlet boundary condition $A^μ(t,x^1,x^2,x^3=-a) = 0$ is imposed.It is however respected in free space,i.e. in the absence of the plate; these results reinforce our assertions in an earlier paper where the same exercise was carried out using the Lagrangian density for the free,massive,real scalar field in 2 + 1 dimensions.

description: Higher-dimensional theories of the kind which may unify gravitation with particle physics can lead to significant modifications of general relativity. In five dimensions, the vacuum becomes non-standard, and the Weak Equivalence Principle becomes a geometrical symmetry which can be broken, perhaps at a level detectable by new tests in space.
