title: On Descartes' Presuppositionless Philosophy
Creators: name: Johnson, W. Tyler
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1992

description: The history of human thought seems to be a quest for truth. Each looking for some evidence of a higher law, the biologist looks at living tissue, the chemist looks in the molecule, and the physicist looks inside the atom while the mathematician looks beyond matter and the theist looks toward God. Uncertainty and ignorance have traditionally been despised and rejected in favor of Knowledge and Rigor by all such scientists. Rene Descartes is commonly understood to be the father of this modernism as he was the first to replace the Church and its authoritarianism with a belief in the ability of the individual to independently reason and discover truth.

description: Salmonellosis is a common foodborne bacterial disease of major public health concern in the world, especially in developing countries. The study sought to identify and characterize the genetics and antimicrobial resistance attributes of Salmonella enterica isolated from milk and related sources, totally 250 samples. Bacteria identification was done using a modified procedure of BAM of US-FDA and antimicrobial resistance was evaluated using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method whereas a partial fragment of the invA gene was amplified and sequenced for molecular characterization. Salmonella enterica was recovered from 14.8% of the studied samples of raw milk, faecal matter from cows, milk collection utensils and hand of milkers. Averagely, antimicrobial susceptibility and resistance were 68.86% and 18.86%, respectively. Meanwhile, Imipenem recorded 100% susceptibility, Teicoplanin recorded 100% resistance with MAR Index being 0.11–0.77. Five sequences were identified as Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica with 99.04–100% identity to serovars like Typhimurium, Enteritidis, Kentucky, Agona and Anatum. Polymorphism within the DNA sequences revealed four haplotypes having 10 segregating sites and neutrality indices indicating an increasing S. enterica population demographics in the study area. Evolutionary studies revealed monophyletic relation among isolates of the present study and paraphyletic relation to isolates of other studies in Africa. Foodborne infections resulting from the consumption or handling of milk is of public health concern. Salmonella enterica is among the foodborne pathogens associated with milk. This study revealed that cow milk, hands of milkers, utensils for collecting milk, and faeces of cow were contaminated by Salmonella enterica. Some of the Salmonella enterica isolates were resistant to multiple antibiotics which will results in difficulty in treatment when they are involved in infections. The Salmonella enterica isolates were genetically diverse. Milk should be handled hygienically or treated prior to consumption to reduce the incidence of foodborne infections associated with milk. Continuous surveillance of Salmonella enterica and other foodborne pathogens in milk is warranted to reveal the enormity of the situation for appropriate control measures to be put in place.

description: We study in detail the generation and relaxation of quantum coherences (entanglement) in a system of coupled polariton traps. By exploiting a Lie algebraic based super-operator technique we provide an analytical exact solution for the Markovian dissipative dynamics (Master equation) of such system which is valid for arbitrary cluster size, polariton-polariton interaction strength, temperature and initial state. Based on the exact solution of the Master equation at T=0K, we discuss how dissipation affects the quantum entanglement dynamics of coupled polariton systems.

description: This paper will deal with the topic of Japanese investment in United States securities during the years of 1980 - 1985. It is my contention that the vulnerable U.S. economic position created an opportunity for Japan to exercise political leverage over the U.S. to affect U.S. policy toward Japan. This paper will outline general and specific hypotheses, a discussion of the case and an explanation of possible methodology.

description: It is known that, by taking advantage of heteroatom doping, the electronic states and transition channels in carbon nano-dots (CNDs) can be effectively modulated. Thus, the photoluminescence (PL) properties of CNDs can be changed. For potential applications of CNDs as advanced materials for optoelectronic devices, it is important and significant to develop the practical techniques for doping heteroatoms into CNDs. In this work, we synthesize the multi-color fluorescent by using a fast and effective microwave method where the CNDs are nitrogen-doped. We examine the influence of different ratios of the raw materials on the structure and optical properties of N-CNDs. The results show that the prepared N-CNDs can generate blue (445 nm), green (546 nm), and orange (617 nm) fluorescence or PL with the mass ratio of the raw materials at 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3, respectively. We find that the N content in N-CNDs leads to different surface/edge states in $n-π^*$ domain. Thus, the wavelength of the PL emission from N-CNDs can be tuned via controlling the N concentration doped into the CNDs. Moreover, it is shown that the intensity of the PL from N-CNDs is mainly positively related to the content of C-O groups attached on the surface/edges of the N-CNDs. This study provides an effective experimental method and technical way to improve the fluorescent emission, and to modulate the color of the PL emission from CNDs.
title: A Generalized Data Conversion System
Creators: name: Morgan, Kevan
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1993

description: To assist in the processing of data files collected by the Space Dynamics Laboratory at Utah State University, the software project GENDACS has been completed. GENDACS, acronym for A Generalized Data Conversion System, will contribute to its research program.
Data are collected from various sensory instruments by the Computer Data Acquisition System. The instrument readings are brought in, tagged with the time they were taken, and stored on an optical disk in a compact, binary (non-ASCII) format. GENDACS is designed so that the program can read in such files, sort out the data, and convert them into a new ASCII configuration . The converted data are written to a separate file.
GENDACS provides considerable versatility in reading and writing different file configurations. This versatility is necessary because different data collecting software packages may organize and store data in varying styles. GENDACS makes it possible for an engineer to extract and manipulate data from different types of files, enabling other commercial graphing programs to analyze and display the results .
When the program is first operating , the user must define how the input data file is configured. Different input files may have different sequences of various data types . These data sequences need to be described to enable GENDACS to read in the data. Next, the user may give the program instructions to manipulate the data in various ways. Data values may be added or subtracted from each other, or constant numerical scaling factors may be applied to the data . Finally, the user must also define how the resultant data should be written out. Once this configuration information is given, GENDACS can proceed to process the file. Preliminary testing of GENDACS has confirmed its success in correctly processing data.
This software was written using object-oriented Pascal (programming language) . The code is designed for use on a PC-based computer system. Although primarily written to facilitate data analysis being accomplished at the Space Dynamics Laboratory, this program could easily be adapted for other users as well.

title: Final Design Report of the Design of A Climate Controlled Sleeping Chamber for Infants and Toddlers
Creators: name: Stevens, Jennifer Stenger
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1985

description: A climate controlled sleeping chamber, or air crib, for infants and toddlers is an alternative sleeping medium to the conventional crib. It is a chamber that is ventilated with air that is temperature and humidity controlled to provide an optimum sleeping environment for young children, ages 0 to 2 years. Its purpose is to enhance the psychological and physiological development of young children. Because it is easier to heat a small chamber than larger living quarters, the air crib also has economic advantages.
The design o climate controlled sleeping chamber must meet some minimum requirements. The system must provide an environment in which a young child between the ages of 0 and 2 years may sleep. This environment must be temperature and humidity controlled to a maximum of 95 degrees Fahrenheit and 50% relative humidity, respectively. It must fit into a 6 foot by 8 foot room and must be large enough to contain the child comfortably. It must also maintain a comfortable environment without undo draft or noise. The unit must be able to regulate the temperature and humidity over an extended period of time to within +5% with little or no maintenance. It should be run by household power and all water supplies may be self-contained. The system cannot have a retail value much greater than that of a standard crib. Finally, the system must meet all safety standards set for infant sleeping furniture and residential safety codes in heating, ventilation, electrical wiring, and child safety.

description: Assuming that inflation happened through a series of tunneling in the string theory landscape, it is argued that one can determine the structure of vacua using precise measurements of the scalar spectral index and tensor perturbations at large scales. It is shown that for a vacuum structure where the energy gap between the minima is constant, i.e. $ε_i=i m_f^4$, one obtains the scalar spectral index, $n_s$, to be $\simeq 0.9687$, for the modes that exit the horizon 60 e-folds before the end of inflation. Alternatively, for a vacuum structure in which the energy gap increases linearly with the vacuum index, i.e. $ε_i=\frac{i^2}{2} m_f^4$, $n_s$ turns out to be $\simeq 0.9614$. Both these two models are motivated within the string theory landscape using flux-compactification and their predictions for scalar spectral index are compatible with WMAP results. For both these two models, the results for the scalar spectral index turn out to be independent of $m_f$. Nonetheless, assuming that inflation started at Planckian energies and that there had been successful thermalization at each step, one can constrain $m_f<2.6069\times 10^{-5} m_P$ and $m_f<6.5396\times 10^{-7} m_P$ in these two models, respectively. Violation of the single-field consistency relation between the tensor and scalar spectra is another prediction of chain inflation models. This corresponds to having a smaller tensor/scalar ratio at large scales in comparison with the slow-roll counterparts. Similar to slow-roll inflation, it is argued that one can reconstruct the vacuum structure using the CMB experiments.

description: Motivated by a recent demonstration of cyclic addition of quantized vorticity into a Bose-Einstein condensate, the vortex pump, we study dynamical instabilities and core sizes of giant vortices. The core size is found to increase roughly as a square-root function of the quantum number of the vortex, whereas the strength of the dynamical instability either saturates to a fairly low value or increases extremely slowly for large quantum numbers. Our studies suggest that giant vortices of very high angular momenta may be achieved by gradually increasing the operation frequency of the vortex pump.

description: Down at the hospital the other day the ambulance brought us an old German lady who had fallen down on Main Street. We admitted her in east wing and found no bodily damage, but did discover that she was thoroughly drunk. We removed her warmed-over cabbage tennis shoes and were in the process of replacing her Salvation Army discount dress with a hospital gown when three or four bags of Hershey's chocolate kisses fell out from some hidden foyer of her person. All the while she was yelling about her husband's federal pension and how her bishop and the police department would protect her from us. Last night she escaped from the hospital, and I, being the orderly on duty, had to hyperambulate down the street to capture her and return her to east wing, using force if necessary. It was. A half-hour later back in room 6, I was gratified to see 5 cc’s of dilantin enter her left buttock via hypodermic needle because I knew that she would be as happy in dreamland as I was to see her transported there.
Treatment of female sexual dysfunction through the use of symbolic modeling with graduated behavioral tasks
Creators: name: Nemetz, Georgia Helen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Attitudinal and behavioral indices of sexual adjustment and sexual anxiety measures were obtained from twenty-two subjects in order to assess the effects of individual and group graduated symbolic modeling with concurrent behavioral tasks as a treatment, procedure for female sexual dysfunction. All of the women serving as clients had reported severe anxiety towards sexual behavior which precluded their enjoyment of and or engagement in this area. Sixteen of the clients were randomly divided into two groups; one receiving individual treatment and the other receiving group treatment. Treatment consisted of initial relaxation training followed by the viewing of 45 video-taped vignettes depicting various graduated sexual behaviors. Sessions were held twice weekly for approximately two and one-half weeks. The other six women served as a control group and were subjected to identical measurement without the benefit of treatment. Statistically significant decreases in anxiety and increases in behavioral and attitudinal measures were evidenced to the same extent in both treatment conditions; however, a trend towards greater improvement was observed for those' receiving group treatment. Significant improvements appeared simultaneously in all three areas around the third treatment session. These riesults remained stable through the three week follow-up period. The contro clients showed no improvement and trends toward deterioration were evidenced on all three measures. It would appear that graduated symbolic modeling with concurrent behavioral tasks effects positive changes in attitudinal, behavioral and anxiety indices simultaneously. The extent and relevant contribution of these changes during sexual dysfunction therapy requires further investigation including the refinement of behavioral measures and the examination of the effects of time on waiting list clients.
Mandeville e l'uomorismo del male minore
Mandeville and the lesser evil humorism

Subjects: M-FIL/03 Filosofia morale

description: Questa ricerca propone una lettura comparata degli scritti di Bernard Mandeville. L'intento è di porre in relazione gli argomenti morali, etici e politici con le "gandi voci" dell'epoca: primi fra tutti Hobbes e Locke. L'impianto interpretativo è strutturato in modo da delineare il metodo adottato nelle riflessioni filosofiche mandevilliane e da qui, mantenendo una divisione di piani, rintracciare i concetti di riferimento sia dal punto di vista metafico sia da quello ontologico. Si ritiene, allora, che il metodo basato sull'uomorismo, come forma oggettivante del fenomeno – sociale e non – porti alla definizione della nozione di natura umana a partire da una conzione di natura in sé corrotta metafisicamente. Ciò trova nel paradigma di "naturalismo fisiologico" un riferimento da cui muovere l'analisi antropologica e morale degli uomini in società. Un'indagine che rintraccia nell'"etica del male minore" un modello con cui valutare le scelte e le azioni in ambito collettivo e pubblico. La lettura dei vari testi, allora, mostra come la politica sia influenzata da questo modello nello strutturare istituzioni che stimolino la produzione e l'incremento della ricchezza, seppur questo non sia alla portata di tutti. La sperequazione economica, allora, a fronte di un benessere collettivo elevato appare come un "male minore".
description: This research provides a comparative reading of the writings of Bernard Mandeville. The aim is to relate moral, ethic and political arguments to the “great thinkers” of his historical period: first of all, Hobbes and Locke. The epistemological framework is structured to draft the method utilized in Mandeville’s philosophical reflections and, from here, keeping a level division, to trace the main concepts in reference to booth metaphysical and ontological point of view. So the method based on humorism, as a form of objectifying phenomena – social and not social – leads to the definition of the notion of human nature from a conception of corrupt nature metaphysically in itself. This finds in the paradigm of “physiological naturalism” a reference by which the anthropological and moral analysis paints the picture of men in society. An inquiry that finds in the “ethics of lesser evil” a model by which it's possible to evaluate the choices and actions in collective and public fields. The reading of various texts, then, shows how the politics will be influenced by this model in structuring institutions that stimulate the production and the increase of wealth, although this is not for everyone. Economic inequality, then, creating a high collective well-being or benefits, appears as a "lesser evil".

description: Tear film instability is one of the principal pathomechanisms of dry eye disease (DED), arising from disrupted tear homeostasis, reduced tear volume, or lipid layer alterations. The lipid layer, secreted by the meibomian glands, can be imaged qualitatively and quantitatively. This review summarizes different lipid layer thickness (LLT) measurement techniques, normative values, and alterations in ocular surface disorders. Full-texts of 88 of 236 searched articles from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar using the terms ‘Tear film lipid layer thickness,’ ‘Lipid layer thickness’, ‘Tear film lipids,’ ‘Dry eye disease,’ ‘Meibomian gland dysfunction,’ ‘Meibography,’ and ‘Interferometry’ were reviewed. Advanced imaging techniques, such as LipiView, Oculus Keratograph 5M, and Tearscope, utilize interference principles, but are not interchangeable for measuring LLT. LLT ranges from 13 to 170 nm in healthy individuals, depending on the instrument and grading scale used. The reported central LLT values in DED vary from 33 to 84 nm, varying with disease severity. There are conflicting reports on the association between age, gender, and LLT values. LLT positively correlates with expressible meibomian glands, and negatively with gland loss. LLT has been associated with tear film breakup time, MGD severity, and blink pattern irregularities. The significant overlap in LLT values between the normal individuals and DED patients precludes its role in the diagnosis of DED. Future studies exploring LLT variations under different environmental conditions and across larger cohorts with varying DED severity are essential to enhance clinical applicability.

description: We study an opto-electronic time-delay oscillator that displays high-speed chaotic behavior with a flat, broad power spectrum. The chaotic state coexists with a linearly-stable fixed point, which, when subjected to a finite-amplitude perturbation, loses stability initially via a periodic train of ultrafast pulses. We derive an approximate map that does an excellent job of capturing the observed instability. The oscillator provides a simple device for fundamental studies of time-delay dynamical systems and can be used as a building block for ultra-wide-band sensor networks.

description: We trace the origin of the black hole entropy S replacing a black hole by a quasiblack hole. Let the boundary of a static body approach its own gravitational radius, in such a way that a quasihorizon forms. We show that if the body is thermal with the temperature taking the Hawking value at the quasihorizon limit, it follows, in the nonextremal case, from the first law of thermodynamics that the entropy approaches the Bekenstein-Hawking value S=A/4. In this setup, the key role is played by the surface stresses on the quasihorizon and one finds that the entropy comes from the quasihorizon surface. Any distribution of matter inside the surface leads to the same universal value for the entropy in the quasihorizon limit. This can be of some help in the understanding of black hole entropy. Other similarities between black holes and quasiblack holes, such as the mass formulas for both objects had been found previously. We also discuss the entropy for extremal quasiblack holes, a more subtle issue.

Efficient numerical treatment of ambipolar and Hall drift as hyperbolic system

description: Partially ionized plasmas, such as the solar chromosphere, require a generalized Ohm's law including the effects of ambipolar and Hall drift. While both describe transport processes that arise from the multifluid equations and are therefore of hyperbolic nature, they are often incorporated in models as a diffusive, i.e. parabolic process. While the formulation as such is easy to include in standard MHD models, the resulting diffusive time-step constraints do require often a computationally more expensive implicit treatment or super-time-stepping approaches. In this paper we discuss an implementation that retains the hyperbolic nature and allows for an explicit integration with small computational overhead. In the case of ambipolar drift, this formulation arises naturally by simply retaining a time derivative of the drift velocity that is typically omitted. This alone leads to time-step constraints that are comparable to the native MHD time-step constraint for a solar setup including the region from photosphere to lower solar corona. We discuss an accelerated treatment that can further reduce time-step constraints if necessary. In the case of Hall drift we propose a hyperbolic formulation that is numerically similar to that for the ambipolar drift and we show that the combination of both can be applied to simulations of the solar chromosphere at minimal computational expense.

description: We demonstrate a new kind of optical spectrometer employing photonic crystal patterns to outcouple waveguided light from a transparent substrate. This spectrometer consists of an array of photonic crystal patterns, nanofabricated in a polymer on a glass substrate, combined with a camera. The camera captures an image of the light outcoupled from the patterned substrate; the array of patterns produces a spatially resolved map of intensities for different wavelength bands. The intensity map of the image is converted into a spectrum using the photonic crystal pattern response functions. We present a proof of concept by characterizing a white LED with our photonic crystal spectrometer.

description: We show that a ferro-electric quantum phase transition can be driven by the dipolar interaction of polar molecules in the presence a micro-wave field. The obtained ferro-electricity crucially depends on the harmonic confinement potential, and the resulting dipole moment persists even when the external field is turned off adiabatically. The transition is shown to be second order for fermions and for bosons of a smaller permanent dipole moment, but is first order for bosons of a larger moment. Our results suggest the possibility of manipulating the microscopic rotational state of polar molecules by tuning the trap's aspect ratio (and other mesoscopic parameters), even though the later's energy scale is smaller than the former's by six orders of magnitude.

title: Anglo-American Relations During The Civil War: The Trent Affair
Creators: name: Moorhead, Marvin Bryan
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1977

description: In the fall of 1861 the Confederacy decided to send a second diplomatic mission to Europe: James Mason to London and John Slidell to Paris. Mason and Slidell slipped through the Union blockade and booked passage from Havana to London on the Trent, a British mail packet. On November 8, 1861 Charles Wilkes, captain of the Union warship San Jacinto, stopped the Trent in the Bahama Channel. Instead of escorting the vessel to a Union prize court, which could legally judge who or what on board the British vessel constituted contraband, he seized the two emissaries and let the Trent resume its voyage. Wilkes became a hero in the North, but when news of the capture reached Britain, the English viewed it as a planned insult. British Foreign Minister Russell instructed Lord Lyons, the British ambassador to the United States, to demand an apology from Secretary of State Seward and the release of the Confederate diplomats. Anticipating a rejection of their ultimatum, Britain began war preparations and transported additional troops to Canada. After intensive Cabinet deliberations the Union agreed to free the envoys, explaining that Wilkes, acting without orders from Washington, had used improper procedures in making the capture. Mason and Slidell were released January 1, 1862 and eventually reached England on the twenty-ninth.
The Trent Affair Involved many issues: Anglo-American political and economic relations, international law, and diplomatic efforts of the North and South during the Civil War. In the thesis I hope to explore the incident in the context of these larger issues. I make no claim. to have written a definitive study of the Trent Affair. Because of time and monetary restrictions my examination of archival material has been limited. The Seward Papers, microfilms of the Adams Papers, published collections of documents, and a few major newspapers constitute the primary sources I investigated. If the following pages bring the various facets of this critical event into clearer focus, my objectives will be satisfied.

description: First principles calculations based on density functional theory reveal some unusual properties of BN sheet functionalized with hydrogen and fluorine. These properties differ from those of similarly functionalized graphene even though both share the same honeycomb structure. (1) Unlike graphene which undergoes a metal to insulator transition when fully hydrogenated, the band gap of the BN sheet significantly narrows when fully saturated with hydrogen. Furthermore, the band gap of the BN sheet can be tuned from 4.7 eV to 0.6 eV and the system can be a direct or an indirect semiconductor or even a half-metal depending upon surface coverage. (2) Unlike graphene, BN sheet has hetero-atomic composition, when co-decorated with H and F, it can lead to anisotropic structures with rich electronic and magnetic properties. (3) Unlike graphene, BN sheets can be made ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic, or magnetically degenerate depending upon how the surface is functionalized. (4) The stability of magnetic coupling of functionalized BN sheet can be further modulated by applying external strain. Our study highlights the potential of functionalized BN sheets for novel applications.

description: E' stato sviluppato un algoritmo predittivo del rischio di consolidazione ossea (ARRCO – Algoritmo Rischio Ritardo Consolidazione Ossea - IGEA, Carpi, Italy) che combina diversi fattori correlati al rischio di ritardata o mancata guarigione di una frattura.
Questo algoritmo ha permesso di idntificare una popolazione di pazienti affetti da fratture con aumentato rischio di ritardo di consolidazione o mancata guarigione. Questi pazienti sono stati sottoposti precocemente a stimolazione biofisica precoce mediante Campi Elettromagnetici Pulsati a bassa frequenza (CEMP), ottenendo la guarigione della frattura nella maggior parte dei casi e in tempi considerati fisiologici.
Pertanto in un gruppo selezionato di pazienti, il trattamento può essere indirizzato all'applicazione precoce di CEMP, al fine di promuovere la consolidazione ossea di una frattura "a richio", il cui trattamento richiederebbe altrimenti tempi più prolungati e un costo virtuale maggiore dell'intero trattamento sanitario.
description: A predictive score for risk of delayed healing (ARRCO – Algoritmo Rischio Ritardo Consolidazione Ossea - IGEA, Carpi, Italy) has been developed in order to consider and combine different risk factors influencing the healing of a fracture, calculating a score correlated with healing potential, time of healing and risk of delayed healing or non-union.
The ARRCO score provided a simple and effective tool for the orthopaedic surgeons to early identify fractures presenting risk of delayed healing. In these cases early application of Pulsing Low-frequency Electromagnetic Fields (PEMF) was performed, obtaining bone healing in most of cases reducing the time of healing. 
Therefore in a selected group of patients affected by "fractures at risk", the treatment may be directed to early application of electromagnetic bone growth stimulation with PEMF, in order to promote healing of the fracture, reducing consequently the time and the virtual cost of the treatment.

A decision-making procedure for streambank Management on Vancouver Island
Creators: name: Moore, M. Keith
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: A new approach for making management decisions about the logging of forested streambanks is presented in this thesis. For several years administrative guidelines or regulatory clauses have required that narrow strips of vegetation be left along all streambanks after logging but experience with these guidelines or regulatory clauses has not always been satisfactory. In many cases the type of strip that is left is not well suited to the particular streambank site or to the needs of the users of that site and a new procedure for making streambank management decisions is clearly needed. The decision-making procedure developed and tested in this thesis provides a routine, consistent method for site-specific decision-making on any Vancouver Island streambank site slated for logging. It includes a range of possible management alternatives and a method for determining which alternative is appropriate to a given site. A checklist is used to assess a number of physical characteristics of the stream and streambank and to determine the resource uses of the site. The value of the vegetation along the streambank to the users is then identified and from this environmental basis, the width and type of vegetated leave strip best suited to the integrated use management of the site is indicated. The procedure was field tested on seven different streambank sites on Vancouver Island. Checklists were completed by individual participants and decisions about the width and type of strip to be left were made according to the procedure. Written qualitative comments were solicited. Analysis of the field test results indicated that there were a number of shortcomings in the checklist and in the procedure generally and revisions and improvements are suggested. There was however sufficient consistency in the results to indicate that the procedure could be used routinely and consistently by field level personnel and would improve streambank management decisions. The qualitative reaction to the procedure was generally favourable. It was felt to be a useful and valuable innovation and several participants indicated that they would be prepared to use it on an operational basis. It is concluded that a useful procedure for making site-specific integrated use decisions has been developed for forested streambanks. Recommendations are made for further improvement of this procedure and for its application to other resource management problems.

description: This article gives a comprehensive review on thick brane solutions and related topics. Such models have attracted much attention from many aspects since the birth of the brane world scenario. In many works, it has been usually assumed that a brane is an infinitely thin object; however in more general situations, one can no longer assume this. It is also widely considered that more fundamental theories such as string theory would have a minimal length scale. Many multidimensional field theories coupled to gravitation have exact solutions of gravitating topological defects, which can represent our brane world. The inclusion of brane thickness can realize a variety of possible brane world models. Given our understanding, the known solutions can be classified into topologically non-trivial solutions and trivial ones. The former class contains solutions of a single scalar (domain walls), multi-scalar, gauge-Higgs (vortices), Weyl gravity and so on. As an example of the latter class, we consider solutions of two interacting scalar fields. Approaches to obtain cosmological equations in the thick brane world are reviewed. Solutions with spatially extended branes (S-branes) and those with an extra time-like direction are also discussed.

Effective continuous model for surface states and thin films of three dimensional topological insulators

description: Two-dimensional effective continuous models are derived for the surface states and thin films of the three-dimensional topological insulator (3DTI). Starting from an effective model for 3DTI based on the first principles calculation [Zhang \emph{et al}, Nat. Phys. 5, 438 (2009)], we present solutions for both the surface states in a semi-infinite boundary condition and in the thin film with finite thickness. An effective continuous model was derived for surface states and the thin film 3DTI. The coupling between opposite topological surfaces and structure inversion asymmetry (SIA) give rise to gapped Dirac hyperbolas with Rashba-like splittings in energy spectrum. Besides, the SIA leads to asymmetric distributions of wavefunctions along the film growth direction, making some branches in the energy spectra much harder than others to be probed by light. These features agree well with the recent angle-resolved photoemission spectra of Bi$_{2}$Se $_{3}$ films grown on SiC substrate [Zhang et al, arXiv: 0911.3706]. More importantly, we use the effective model to fit the experimental data and determine the model parameters. The result indicates that the thin film Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$ lies in quantum spin Hall region based on the calculation of the Chern number and the $Z_{2}$ invariant. In addition, strong SIA always intends to destroy the quantum spin Hall state.
