description: Suppose G is a semi-direct product of the form Z/p^n \rtimes Z/m where p is prime and m is relatively prime to p. Suppose K is a local field of characteristic p > 0. The main result states necessary and sufficient conditions on the ramification filtrations that occur for wildly ramified G-Galois extensions of K. In addition, we prove that there exists a parameter space for G-Galois extensions of K with given ramification filtration whose dimension depends only on the ramification filtration. We provide explicit equations for wild cyclic extensions of K of degree p^3.

description: Ribonucleoprotein condensates can exhibit diverse physical states in vitro and in vivo. Despite considerable progress, the relevance of condensate physical states for in vivo biological function remains limited. Here, we investigated the physical properties of processing bodies (P bodies) and their impact on mRNA storage in mature Drosophila oocytes. We show that the conserved DEAD-box RNA helicase Me31B forms viscous P body condensates, which adopt an arrested physical state. We demonstrate that structurally distinct proteins and protein-protein interactions, together with RNA, regulate the physical properties of P bodies. Using live imaging and in situ hybridization, we show that the arrested state and integrity of P bodies support the storage of bicoid (bcd) mRNA and that egg activation modulates P body properties, leading to the release of bcd for translation in the early embryo. Together, this work provides an example of how physical states of condensates regulate cellular function in development.

description: The capability to control the type and amount of charge carriers in a material and, in the extreme case, the transition from metal to insulator is one of the key challenges of modern electronics. By employing angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) we find that a reversible metal to insulator transition and a fine tuning of the charge carriers from electrons to holes can be achieved in epitaxial bilayer and single layer graphene by molecular doping. The effects of electron screening and disorder are also discussed. These results demonstrate that epitaxial graphene is suitable for electronics applications, as well as provide new opportunities for studying the hole doping regime of the Dirac cone in graphene.

description: Given a sequence of Borel probability measures on a Hausdorff space which satisfy a large deviation principle, we consider the corresponding sequence of measures formed by conditioning on a set $B$. If the large deviation rate function $I$ is good and effectively continuous and the conditioning set has the property that (1) $\overline{B^\circ} = \overline{B}$ and (2) $I(x) < \infty$ for all $x \in \overline{B}$, then the sequence of conditional measures satisfies a large deviation principle with the good, effectively continuous rate function $I_B$, where $I_B(x) = I(x)-\inf I(B)$ if $x\in\overline{B}$ and $I_B(x) = \infty$ otherwise.

description: We study the thermodynamics of a shell of self-gravitating radiation, bounded by two spherical surfaces. This system provides a consistent model for a gravitating thermal reservoir for different solutions to vacuum Einstein equations in the shell's interior. The latter include black holes and flat space, hence, this model allows for the study of black hole phase transitions. Following the analysis of arXiv:1103.3898 , we show that the inclusion of appropriate entropy terms to the spacetime boundaries (including the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy for black hole horizons) leads to a consistent thermodynamic description. The system is characterized by four phases, two black hole phases distinguished by the size of the horizon, a flat space phase and one phase that describes naked singularities. We undertake a detailed analysis of black-hole phase transitions, the non-concave entropy function, the properties of temperature at infinity, and system's heat capacity.

description: Capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics are important for understanding fundamental electronic structures and device applications of nanomaterials. The C-V characteristics of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are examined using self-consistent atomistic simulations. The results indicate strong dependence of the GNR C-V characteristics on the edge shape. For zigzag edge GNRs, highly non-uniform charge distribution in the transverse direction due to edge states lowers the gate capacitance considerably, and the self-consistent electrostatic potential significantly alters the band structure and carrier velocity. For an armchair edge GNR, the quantum capacitance is a factor of 2 smaller than its corresponding zigzag carbon nanotube, and a multiple gate geometry is less beneficial for transistor applications. Magnetic field results in pronounced oscillations on C-V characteristics.

Chandra detection of diffuse hot gas in and around the M31 bulge
Creators: name: Li, Z.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We report the detection of diffuse hot gas in M31, using archival Chandra observations which allow us to map out a 30' by 30' field (covering a galactocentric radius up to 4.5 kpc) and to detect sources in the galaxy down to a 0.5-8 keV luminosity limit of ~10^35 ergs/s. We estimate the remaining stellar contribution from fainter X-ray sources (primarily cataclysmic variables and coronally active binaries), assuming that they spatially follow the stellar distribution. Indeed, the near-IR K-band light of the galaxy closely traces the 2-8 keV unresolved X-rays, indicating a collective stellar X-ray emissivity consistent with those determined for the Galactic ridge and M32, whereas the amount of the 0.5-2 keV unresolved emission is significantly greater than the expected stellar contribution, especially within a galactocentric radius of ~2 kpc. Morphologically, this soft X-ray excess appears substantially rounder than the bulge as seen in K-band and is elongated approximately along the minor-axis at large radii. The excess thus most likely represents the emission of diffuse hot gas in and around the galactic bulge. Furthermore, the near side of the M31 disk casts an apparent shadow against the soft X-ray excess, indicating that the hot gas extends to at least 2.5 kpc from the galactic plane. We briefly discuss the implications of these results on the energy balance in the M31 bulge and on understanding the large-scale soft X-ray enhancement observed toward the inner region of our own Galaxy.

description: The advent of wide-field sky surveys has led to the growth of transient and variable source discoveries. The data deluge produced by these surveys has necessitated the use of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms to sift through the vast incoming data stream. A problem that arises in real-world applications of learning algorithms for classification is imbalanced data, where a class of objects within the data is underrepresented, leading to a bias for over-represented classes in the ML and DL classifiers. We present a recurrent neural network (RNN) classifier that takes in photometric time-series data and additional contextual information (such as distance to nearby galaxies and on-sky position) to produce real-time classification of objects observed by the Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO), and use an algorithm-level approach for handling imbalance with a focal loss function. The classifier is able to achieve an Area Under the Curve (AUC) score of 0.972 when using all available photometric observations to classify variable stars, supernovae, and active galactic nuclei. The RNN architecture allows us to classify incomplete light curves, and measure how performance improves as more observations are included. We also investigate the role that contextual information plays in producing reliable object classification.

Signal-based classical emulation of a universal quantum computer
Creators: name: La Cour, Brian R.
name: Ott, Granville E.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper we present a novel approach to emulating a universal quantum computer with a classical system, one that uses a signal of bounded duration and amplitude to represent an arbitrary quantum state. The signal may be of any modality (e.g., acoustic, electromagnetic, etc), but we focus our discussion here on electronic signals. Unitary gate operations are performed using analog electronic circuit devices, such as four-quadrant multipliers, operational amplifiers, and analog filters, although non-unitary operations may be performed as well. In this manner, the Hilbert space structure of the quantum state, as well as a universal set of gate operations, may be fully emulated classically. The required bandwidth scales exponentially with the number of qubits, however, thereby limiting the scalability of the approach, but the intrinsic parallelism, ease of construction, and classical robustness to decoherence may nevertheless lead to capabilities and efficiencies rivaling that of current high performance computers.

description: Close encounters between young stellar objects in star forming clusters are expected to dramatically perturb circumstellar disks. Such events are witnessed in numerical simulations of star formation, but few direct observations of ongoing encounters have been made. Here we report sub-0".1 resolution Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) and Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) observations towards the million year old binary protostar Z CMa in dust continuum and molecular line emission. A point source ~4700 au from the binary has been discovered at both millimeter and centimeter wavelengths. It is located along the extension of a ~2000 au streamer structure previously found in scattered light imaging, whose counterpart in dust and gas emission is also newly identified. Comparison with simulations shows signposts of a rare flyby event in action. Z CMa is a "double burster", as both binary components undergo accretion outbursts, which may be facilitated by perturbations to the host disk by flybys.

British Columbia 1972-75 : the genesis of a two-party system
Creators: name: Harris, Christopher C.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this thesis is to posit an explanation for the rather spectacular reversal of Social Credit fortunes in British Columbia during the 1972-75 period and the concomitant creation of the province's present two-party system. A detailed examination of the political events of the period was undertaken in an attempt to determine what had taken place and in what order. The research involved analysis of electoral statistics and press clippings, personal interviews and the traditional review of available academic literature. The thesis rejected a monocausal explanation of Social Credit's 1975 electoral victory. Research indicates that Socred leader Bill Bennett was able to capitalize on "the widespread -and largely self-created - disenchantment with the NDP government and position his party to be seen by the public as the only credible alternative. Contrary to popular perception, the post-1972 version of Social Credit was not a "coalition" in the political sense. Rather, Liberal and Conservative elites recognized Bennett's success in projecting Social Credit as the only realistic alternative to the NDP and joined him to protect their legislative seats and further their respective political careers.

description: Immune checkpoint blocking based on the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway has shown exciting results in various types of cancer. However, due to the off-target effect of PD-1/PD-L1 blocker, low tumour immunogenicity and tumour immunosuppressive microenvironment, a significant proportion of patients do not benefit from this treatment. Here, we constructed a novel multifunctional metal complex Fe/PEI-Tn by the coordination of polyethyleneimine (PEI) with Fe3+ and the modification of bifunctional peptides Tn containing the cell penetrating peptide (TAT) and nuclear localisation signal peptide (NLS), which was coated with hyaluronic acid (HA) to prolong the circulation time in vivo. Fe/PEI-Tn can condensate PD-L1 trap plasmid (pPD-L1 trap) and mediate PD-L1 trap protein expression in tumour tissues in situ, thus blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway. Besides, Fe/PEI-Tn metal complex itself can act as an immune adjuvant to activate macrophages, reverse the phenotype of pro-tumour M2-type macrophages, and promote anti-tumour immunity. Meanwhile, Fe/PEI-Tn treatment can induce damage in tumour cells and release tumour-specific antigens into tumour microenvironment, thus stimulating anti-tumour immune response. Studies showed that HA/Fe/PEI-Tn/pPD-L1 trap complexes could promote the immune activation of tumour tissues and effectively delay tumour growth. This strategy provides a new direction for tumour combination therapy based on PD-1/PD-L1 blockade.

description: At present, transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) are still superior in performance to most other transparent conductors. Results on opto-electronic modeling and design optimization of TCOs are presented using a monolithically integrated CIGS cell configuration as case. For various cell dimensions and TCO characteristics, the cell output was determined for both bare TCOs and TCOs with a metallic grid. This study showed that considerable efficiency enhancement (17% in power output) can be achieved for metal grid TCO combinations compared to single TCOs. Conductivity improvement has been experimentally verified on both commercial ITO PET foil as well as on ZnO:Al coated glass with electrochemically deposited metal grids. Conductivities below 0,1 Ohm/sq were reached and 80 times and 400 times conductivity improvements were obtained at a transparency loss of only 3% and 6%, respectively. It was also found that electrochemical deposition results in more conductive and lower surface area covering grids than obtained by Ag-ink screen printing.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: Two-dimensional critical percolation is the member LM(2,3) of the infinite series of Yang-Baxter integrable logarithmic minimal models LM(p,p'). We consider the continuum scaling limit of this lattice model as a `rational' logarithmic conformal field theory with extended W=W_{2,3} symmetry and use a lattice approach on a strip to study the fundamental fusion rules in this extended picture. We find that the representation content of the ensuing closed fusion algebra contains 26 W-indecomposable representations with 8 rank-1 representations, 14 rank-2 representations and 4 rank-3 representations. We identify these representations with suitable limits of Yang-Baxter integrable boundary conditions on the lattice and obtain their associated W-extended characters. The latter decompose as finite non-negative sums of W-irreducible characters of which 13 are required. Implementation of fusion on the lattice allows us to read off the fusion rules governing the fusion algebra of the 26 representations and to construct an explicit Cayley table. The closure of these representations among themselves under fusion is remarkable confirmation of the proposed extended symmetry.

Year: 2021

description: Neutrophils are the first line of defense against pathogens and abnormal cells. They regulate many biological processes such as infections and inflammation. Increasing evidence demonstrated a role for neutrophils in cancer, where different subpopulations have been found to possess both pro- or anti-tumorigenic functions in the tumor microenvironment. In this review, we discuss the phenotypic and functional diversity of neutrophils in cancer, their prognostic significance, and therapeutic relevance in human and preclinical models. Molecular imaging methods are increasingly used to probe neutrophil biology in vivo, as well as the cellular changes that occur during tumor progression and over the course of treatment. This review will discuss the role of neutrophil imaging in oncology and the lessons that can be drawn from imaging in infectious diseases and inflammatory disorders. The major factors to be considered when developing imaging techniques and biomarkers for neutrophils in cancer are reviewed. Finally, the potential clinical applications and the limitations of each method are discussed, as well as the challenges for future clinical translation.

description: OBJECTIVE: To implement and evaluate co-designed interventions to improve communication of positive newborn bloodspot screening results and make recommendations for future research and practice. DESIGN: A process evaluation underpinned by Normalisation Process Theory. SETTING: Three National Health Service provider organisations in England. PARTICIPANTS: Twenty-four healthcare professionals (7 newborn screening laboratory staff and 24 clinicians) and 18 parents were interviewed. INTERVENTIONS: Three co-designed interventions were implemented in practice: standardised laboratory proformas, communication checklists and an email/letter template. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES: Acceptability and feasibility of the co-designed interventions. RESULTS: Auditing the implementation of these interventions revealed between 58%-76% of the items on the laboratory proforma and 43%-80% of items on the communication checklists were completed. Interviews with healthcare professionals who had used the interventions in practice provided positive feedback in relation to the purpose of the interventions and the ease of completion both of which were viewed as enhancing communication of positive newborn bloodspot screening results. Interviews with parents highlighted the perceived benefit of the co-designed interventions in terms of consistency, pacing and tailoring of information as well as providing reliable information to families following communication of the positive newborn bloodspot screening result. The process evaluation illuminated organisational and contextual barriers during implementation of the co-designed interventions in practice. CONCLUSION: Variations in communication practices for positive newborn bloodspot screening results continue to exist. The co-designed interventions could help to standardise communication of positive newborn screening results from laboratories to clinicians and from clinicians to parents which in turn could improve parents' experience of receiving a positive newborn bloodspot screening result. Implementation highlighted some organisational and contextual barriers to effective adoption of the co-designed interventions in practice. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ISRCTN15330120.
Subspace projection method for unstructured searches with noisy quantum oracles using a signal-based quantum emulation device

description: This paper describes a novel approach to solving unstructured search problems using a classical, signal-based emulation of a quantum computer. The classical nature of the representation allows one to perform subspace projections in addition to the usual unitary gate operations. Although bandwidth requirements will limit the scale of problems that can be solved by this method, it can nevertheless provide a significant computational advantage for problems of limited size. In particular, we find that, for the same number of noisy oracle calls, the proposed subspace projection method provides a higher probability of success for finding a solution than does an single application of Grover's algorithm on the same device.

description: Different methods for creating Olympic gels are analyzed using computer simulations. First ideal reference samples are obtained from freely interpenetrating semi-dilute solutions and melts of cyclic polymers. The distribution of pairwise concatenations per cyclic molecule is given by a Poisson-distribution and can be used to describe the elastic structure of the gels. Several batches of linear chains decorated with different selectively binding groups at their ends are mixed in the "DNA Origami" technique and network formation is realized. While the formation of cyclic molecules follows mean field predictions below overlap of the precursor molecules, an enhanced ring formation above overlap is found that is not explained by mean field arguments. The "progressive construction" method allows to create Olympic gels with a single reaction step from a concentrated mixture of large compressed rings with a low weight fraction short chains that are below overlap concentration. This method, however, is limited by the difficulty to obtain a sufficiently high degree of polymerization of the large rings.

description: This paper is a primer on cryptographic accumulators and how to apply them practically. A cryptographic accumulator is a space- and time-efficient data structure used for set-membership tests. Since it is possible to represent any computational problem where the answer is yes or no as a set-membership problem, cryptographic accumulators are invaluable data structures in computer science and engineering. But, to the best of our knowledge, there is neither a concise survey comparing and contrasting various types of accumulators nor a guide for how to apply the most appropriate one for a given application. Therefore, we address that gap by describing cryptographic accumulators while presenting their fundamental and so-called optional properties. We discuss the effects of each property on the given accumulator's performance in terms of space and time complexity, as well as communication overhead.

description: Airway inflammation is associated with various respiratory diseases, and previous research has confirmed that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play imperative roles in inflammatory responses. However, the function of lncRNA SOX2 overlapping transcript (SOX2-OT) in airway inflammation remains enigmatic. This study aimed to investigate the effects of SOX2-OT on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)–induced cell injury in human bronchial epithelial cells, BEAS-2B, and its potential mechanisms. The results showed increased cell apoptotic ratio, production of inflammatory cytokines, higher expression of adhesion molecules and activation of NF-κB in LPS–stimulated BEAS-2B cells. In LPS–stimulated BEAS-2B cells, SOX2-OT up-regulation and miR-455-3p down-regulation emerged simultaneously. SOX2-OT knockdown or miR-455-3p over-expression restrained LPS–induced inflammation and injury. SOX2-OT sponged to miR-455-3p and functioned as a ceRNA. In addition, phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) served as an endogenous target of miR-455-3p to modulate the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) pathway and disturb the alleviated consequence of miR-455-3p over-expression on LPS–induced BEAS-2B cell inflammation and cell injury. Our data demonstrated that SOX2-OT plays a pivotal role in LPS–induced inflammation and injury in BEAS-2B cells and exerts its function through the miR-455-3p/PTEN axis and modulation of the PI3K/AKT pathway.

Silicon Solar Cell Improvements

description: 27th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 904-907
description: In this work, the performance improvements of n-type alloyed rear junction Si solar cells have been demonstrated. Experimentally, the n+/n/p+ rear emitter cells were fabricated by using 1-5 ohm-cm 239 cm2 n-type CZ wafers. The planarization and uniformity on the rear side surface are known as a crucial factor for the Al-alloyed
junction formation. Therefore, a comparison of (1) isotropic etched (2) acidic polished and as-textured rear surface was investigated by realizing the influence of different polishing methods on surface morphology, inducing higher efficiency. Meanwhile, in a consideration of reducing front surface recombination for n-type rear junction solar cells, a variety of phosphorous-implanted dose concentrations with selective-FSF can be particularly applied to achieve a certified cell efficiency at 19.24%, Voc at 643.7 mV, Jsc at 37 mA/cm2 and FF at 80.78%, respectively.

description: K$_x$CoO$_2$ shares many similarities with Na$_x$CoO$_2$, as well as some important differences (no hydration-induced superconductivity has been reported). At $T_{c2}$=20 K, K$_{0.5}$CoO$_2$ becomes an insulator with a tiny optical gap as happens in Na$_{0.5}$CoO$_2$ at 52 K. This similarity, with a known common structure, enables direct comparisons to be made. Using the K-zigzag structure recently reported and the local density approximation, we compare and contrast these cobaltates at x=0.5. Although the electronic structures are quite similar as expected, substantial differences are observed near the Fermi level. These differences are found to be attributable mostly to the chemical, rather than structural difference: although Na is normally considered to be fully ion, K has somewhat more highly ionic character than does Na in these cobaltates.

description: Il conflitto armato tra lo Stato e l'organizzazione terrorista Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (ETA), che per oltre quarant'anni ha insanguinato la Spagna, assume nel romanzo Patria (2016) di Fernando Aramburu i tratti intimi e quotidiani di un contrasto sociale profondamente radicato nell'esperienza individuale dei protagonisti. Tra i molti interrogativi uno in particolare pervade l'intera stesura del romanzo: che cos'è la patria? L'autore ci mette in guardia dalla strumentalizzazione di questo termine operata dal nazionalismo, mentre attraverso la contrapposizione delle diverse prospettive dei personaggi il concetto di patria assume una forma poliedrica apparentemente impossibile da definire. La comunicazione, caratterizzata nella quotidianità da un peculiare rapporto tra il silenzio e la parola, diventa l'elemento centrale per delimitare i confini di ipotetiche patrie individuali e di una sola utopica patria collettiva.

La lucha armada entre el Estado y la organización terrorista Euskati Ta Askatasuna (ETA), que ensangrentó España durante más de cuarenta años, asume en la novela Patria (2016) de Fernando Aramburu los matices íntimos y diarios de un conflicto social que está profundamente enraizado en las experiencias individuales de los protagonistas. Entre las numerosas cuestiones que se plantean en la obra, destaca el cuestionamiento respecto a lo que es la patria. El autor nos pone en guardia contra la strumentalización sufrida por esta palabra, debido a la propaganda nacionalista. Por medio de la contraposición entre las diferentes perspectivas de los personajes, la patria se presenta como una entidad poliédrica indefinible. La comunicación en la cotidianidad, caracterizada por relaciones variables entre el silencio y la palabra, llega a ser el elemento esencial para trazar a la vez las fronteras de unas hipotéticas patrias individuales y de una utópica patria colectiva.

description: The Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) mass extinction 66 million years ago was characterized by a worldwide ecological catastrophe and rapid species turnover. Large-scale devastation of forested environments resulting from the Chicxulub asteroid impact likely influenced the evolutionary trajectories of multiple clades in terrestrial environments, and it has been hypothesized to have biased survivorship in favour of nonarboreal lineages across the K-Pg boundary. Here, we evaluate patterns of substrate preferences across the K-Pg boundary among crown group mammals, a group that underwent rapid diversification following the mass extinction. Using Bayesian, likelihood, and parsimony reconstructions, we identify patterns of mammalian ecological selectivity that are broadly similar to those previously hypothesized for birds. Models based on extant taxa indicate predominant K-Pg survivorship among semi- or nonarboreal taxa, followed by numerous independent transitions to arboreality in the early Cenozoic. However, contrary to the predominant signal, some or all members of total-clade Euarchonta (Primates + Dermoptera + Scandentia) appear to have maintained arboreal habits across the K-Pg boundary, suggesting ecological flexibility during an interval of global habitat instability. We further observe a pronounced shift in character state transitions away from plesiomorphic arboreality associated with the K-Pg transition. Our findings are consistent with the hypothesis that predominantly nonarboreal taxa preferentially survived the end-Cretaceous mass extinction, and emphasize the pivotal influence of the K-Pg transition in shaping the early evolutionary trajectories of extant terrestrial vertebrates.

description: By the use of an ion beam preparation technique polished cross sections of cadmium telluride thin film solar cells are prepared, which enables a high resolution FE-SEM imaging of microstructure and interfaces and simultaneously the measurement of the electron beam induced current (EBIC). The effect of electron beam accelerating voltage on EBIC signal distribution was investigated. The best lateral resolution of the EBIC signal could be obtained for a relative low EB accelerating voltage of 2 keV. After increasing the accelerating voltages to 5 and 10 keV the lateral resolution is deteriorated, which can be explained by the increasing electron range. EBIC results with high lateral resolution show that mainly areas near to the grain boundaries of the CdTe crystallites
contribute to the measured signal, which can be interpreted as evidence for grain boundary near states passivation. Further it could be shown that especially small CdTe grains near the CdS interface possesses to a high EBIC signal. These results can be discussed as an effect of the chlorine diffusion during activation treatment. Because of small volume diffusion coefficient of chlorine in CdTe the diffusion occurs preferably along the grain boundaries. By the further slow volume diffusion mainly the outer regions of the grains are affected.
The exile's experience : an examination of the poetry of Hilde Domin and Waclaw Iwaniuk
Creators: name: Kilian, Monica
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This thesis examines the effect of the experience of exile on the German poet Hilde Domin and the Polish poet Waclaw Iwaniuk. Their involuntary exile, their departure from their respective native cultures and languages has affected them profoundly, both as individuals and as poets. The exiled poet lives in the conflicting world of the exile: on the one hand, he attempts to maintain his close ties to his native language and culture, while on the other hand, he is constantly assailed by the demands of his new and alien environment. He is thus plunged into a crisis of identity. This thesis examines this crisis by concentrating on the aspect of language as a reference point of the poet's identity. Through a close examination of a selection of the poetry of Domin and Iwaniuk, I have attempted to discover how they express their personal experiences of exile, which problems they are most concerned with, and, finally, how they attempt to solve these problems. Their poetry expresses similar concerns, such as feelings of insecurity, instability and loss, as well as a wish to recover a sense of security. Both Domin and Iwaniuk are aware of the danger of becoming poetic nonentities in their exile, because their link with their native language is threatened. Recognizing the poet's power to find security in his language (which in turn enables him to reassert his identity through his poetry), they both attempt, in different ways, to preserve their identities as poets by writing. Domin is on the whole more successful than Iwaniuk in defining herself through her language. She believes that language is an inseparable part of her, which naturally finds its expression through her writings. Iwaniuk, on the other hand, is more self-conscious about his language; the preservation of his native language as his poetic tool takes the form of struggle. This fact is not only reflected in the content of the two poets' poetry, but also in its form and style: Domin's language and poetry seem generally more spontaneous and harmonious, whereas Iwaniuk's language and poetry appear to be chiselled intellectually, as if it resisted the author's efforts.

description: Single particle tracking of mRNA molecules and lipid granules in living cells shows that the time averaged mean squared displacement $\overline{δ^2}$ of individual particles remains a random variable while indicating that the particle motion is subdiffusive. We investigate this type of ergodicity breaking within the continuous time random walk model and show that $\overline{δ^2}$ differs from the corresponding ensemble average. In particular we derive the distribution for the fluctuations of the random variable $\overline{δ^2}$. Similarly we quantify the response to a constant external field, revealing a generalization of the Einstein relation. Consequences for the interpretation of single molecule tracking data are discussed.
