description: Molecular dynamics studies within a coarse-grained structure based model were used on two similar proteins belonging to the transcarbamylase family to probe the effects in the native structure of a knot. The first protein, N-acetylornithine transcarbamylase, contains no knot whereas human ormithine transcarbamylase contains a trefoil knot located deep within the sequence. In addition, we also analyzed a modified transferase with the knot removed by the appropriate change of a knot-making crossing of the protein chain. The studies of thermally- and mechanically-induced unfolding processes suggest a larger intrinsic stability of the protein with the knot.

description: The experimental (e,2e) coincidence spectroscopy, known as electron momentum spectroscopy (EMS), was applied to the trans- 1,3-butadiene (CUHe) molecule with detailed binding energy spectra and orbited momentum distributions (MDs) being measured. A small selection of these data are presented. We also report on the utilization of UniChem computational chemistry codes and the Flinders-developed AMOLD program, which together allow us to calculate theoretical MDs for each orbital, to help elucidate the valence electronic structure of butadiene. In this latter regard we, in addition, present results of our many-body Green’s function calculation, to the ADC(3) level, for the binding energies and spectroscopic factors of the respective orbitals of C4H6. A critical comparison between the experimental and theoretical MDs allows us to determine the optimum wavefunction from the basis sets we studied. The determination of this wavefunction then allows us to make further use of the UniChem package to derive butadiene’s chemically interesting molecular properties. A summary of these results and comparisons with previous results of other workers are presented, with the level of agreement typically being good.

description: Motivated by recent work on Hom-Lie algebras, a twisted version of the Yang-Baxter equation, called the Hom-Yang-Baxter equation (HYBE), was introduced by the author in an earlier paper. In this paper, several more classes of solutions of the HYBE are constructed. Some of these solutions of the HYBE are closely related to the quantum enveloping algebra of sl(2), the Jones-Conway polynomial, and Yetter-Drinfel'd modules. We also construct a new infinite sequence of solutions of the HYBE from a given one. Along the way, we compute all the Lie algebra endomorphisms on the (1+1)-Poincare algebra and sl(2).

description: We examine the spin and charge excitations in antiferromagnetic iron pnictides by mean-field calculations with a random phase approximation in a five-band itinerant model. The calculated excitation spectra reproduce well spin-wave dispersions observed in inelastic neutron scattering, with a realistic magnetic moment for CaFe$_2$As$_2$. A particle-hole gap is found to be crucial to obtain consistent results; we predict the spin wave in LaFeAsO disappears at a lower energy than in CaFe$_2$As$_2$. We analyze that the charge dynamics to make predictions for resonant inelastic x-ray scattering spectra.

Using nonequilibrium Green's functions techniques, we derive a general expression for the current based on the instantaneous Green's function of the dot. We apply this formula to study the dependence of the charge pumped per cycle on the time-dependent pumping potentials. The possibility of charge quantization in the presence of a finite Coulomb repulsion energy is investigated in the light of recent experiments.

Year: 2012

description: It is a great pleasure to welcome all participants to this workshop. We are especially
 happy to have many visitors from other Asia Pacific countries and the United States.
 In the November 2011 ranking of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, four out of
 the top five most powerful systems were built in Japan or China. Three of these five
 systems boast GPU accelerators. It is an opportune time to analyze the current state-ofthe-
 art accelerated HPC architectures from an Asian perspective and experience, including
 practical issues of use, code development, and performance, as well as the advantages
 and limitations of accelerated HPC systems.
 With support from the United States National Science Foundation (NSF) and in
 cooperation with the HPC Special Interest Group (HPC SIG) of the Association for
 Computing Machinery (ACM), the Asian Technology Information Program (ATIP) and the
 Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) Computational Resource Centre
 (A*CRC), this workshop in Singapore focus on the practical aspects of scientific and
 engineering applications, experiences with program development, porting, tuning,
 performance optimization, efficiency, hardware utilization, time to solution, and the
 outlook for near-future trends and prospects for accelerated HPC.
 We believe it will be a very fulfilling two days with the presentations covering a wide
 spectrum of the accelerated HPC practice. Some tutorial sessions arranged by vendors will
 be conducted on the third and fourth day.
 Additionally, we have arranged for site visits to some of Singapore’s premier research labs
 and HPC centre in the universities. We hope this will provide a good opportunity,
 especially for our foreign visitors, to learn about some of the research work conducted
 locally and explore potential collaborations.
 We believe everyone will have a fruitful workshop and we thank you for participating.
A Scaling Relation of the Evolving Tidal Fields in a LCDM Cosmology

description: We report the finding of a scaling relation among the cosmic-web anisotropy parameter $A$, the linear density rms fluctuation sigma(r) and the linear growth factor D(z). Using the tidal field derived from the Millennium Simulation on 512^{3} grids at z=0, 2, 5 and 127, we calculate the largest eigenvalues $λ$ of the local tidal tensor at each grid resolution and measure its distance-averaged two-point correlation function, xi_{lambda}, as a function of the cosines of polar angles cos(theta) in the local principal axis frame. We show that xi_{lambda} is quite anisotropic, increasing toward the directions of minimal matter compression, and that the anisotropy of xi_{lambda} increases as the redshift, z, decreases and as the upper distance cutoff r_{c} decreases. Fitting the numerical results to an analytic fitting model ξ_λ(\cosθ)\propto (1+A\cos^{n}θ)^{-1}, it is found that the best fit value of A, dubbed the cosmic-web anisotropy parameter, varies systematically with sigma(r_{c}) and D(z), allowing us to determine the simple empiral scaling relation A(r_{c},z)=0.8, D^{0.76}(z), sigma (r_{c})$.

A feasibility study for the private development of a retirement village in Metropolitan Vancouver
Creators: name: Boaden, Bruce Geoffrey
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this study is to examine the nature and extent of housing demand in Metropolitan Vancouver attributable to people over the age of fifty-five. This is to be done in order to verify whether or not the private development of a specified retirement village in Vancouver would be financially feasible and prove to be a profitable investment. In this study, a retirement village is defined to be a planned, low density development of permanent buildings designed to house "active" adults over the age of fifty-five and equipped to provide a wide range of services and leisure activities. This concept of a retirement village is distinct from the many housing developments for the elderly initiated by different non-profit organizations in Canada. The body of this paper involves three broad areas of study, each interrelated. These include an analysis of the potential market, the selection of a suitable location, and an examination of the financial implications of such a development. In order to understand the nature of the problem, it was necessary to make considerable use of research findings regarding the habits and the needs of the elderly. In addition to this, the characteristics of many of the retirement villages in the United States fitting our definition, were examined. Many features common to most of these villages were incorporated in the general design of the village proposed in this study. Initially, the market analysis involves consideration of the general housing demand and supply situation in Metropolitan Vancouver. Particular reference is then made to the characteristics of the elderly and the part they play in total housing demand. Selection of a suitable location for the proposed village is made on the basis of a number of criteria previously formulated. The financial analysis involves estimates of capital cost, operating expenses and revenues, and net cash flows. From these, expected equity yields are then calculated under various assumptions regarding the cost of debt capital, the retention period, and the reversion value. The results of these analyses indicate that Metropolitan Vancouver holds considerable market potential for the development of a retirement village of the type proposed in the study. While there are many feasible locations in Vancouver for the village, the city of White Rock meets the stated criteria adequately and is suggested as the ideal location. The expected profitability of the proposed development is not easily stated as it is dependent upon a number of assumptions. Yields on equity indicate a wide range of possibilities showing the village to be unprofitable under some assumptions and extremely profitable under others.

description: Johnston L, Hiscock A, Holmes B, Bermarija T, Scott R, Sinclair A, Jamieson R. 2020. Trophic triage: a tiered eutrophication vulnerability screening tool for lakes in sparsely monitored regions. Lake Reserv Manage. XX:XXX–XXX. Eutrophication and the occurrence of harmful algal blooms (HABs) have been observed in lakes throughout North America. Here, we developed a high-level lake screening tool for characterizing eutrophication vulnerability in sparsely monitored regions. The screening tool involves a desktop study (Tier 1) to classify the vulnerability of lakes to eutrophication as either low, moderate, or high vulnerability. A subset of lakes is then identified from this initial assessment for a preliminary water quality sampling program to confirm the desktop evaluation (Tier 2). From this evaluation, lakes in a final subset undergo a comprehensive sampling program to establish final vulnerability levels (Tier 3). The screening tool was initially developed and demonstrated for lakes within the Municipality of Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, Canada. Five lakes, spanning a range of land uses, morphologies, and watershed settings, were subjected to a detailed water quality monitoring program to help refine factors and thresholds in the screening tool. Tier 2 and Tier 3 were then applied to the 5 study lakes to demonstrate the complete screening process. Tier 1 of the screening tool was further validated on an additional 29 lakes in Nova Scotia, and performed as intended for the majority of lakes, predicting the same or higher trophic state than the one currently measured for 25 of the 29 lakes. For the 4 lakes with trophic states that were underpredicted, the vulnerability level was still correctly predicted. The screening tool proved to be a robust approach for identifying lakes that are vulnerable to eutrophication, and for prioritizing monitoring activities.

description: We study the Mount Wilson indices we obtained indirectly from IUE high and low resolution spectra of the RS CVn-type systems II Peg (K2IV), UX Ari (K0IV+G5V) and V711 Tau (K1IV+G5V), extensively observed by IUE from 1978 to 1996. We analyze the activity signatures, which correspond to the primary star, with the Lomb-Scargle periodogram. From the analysis of V711 Tau data, we found a possible chromospheric cycle with a period of 18 years and a shorter near 3-year cycle, which could be associated to a chromospheric flip-flop cycle. The data of II Peg also suggest a chromospheric cycle of near 21 years and a flip-flop cycle of 9 years approximately. Finally, we obtained a possible chromospheric cycle of near 6 years for UX Ari.

description: Dormancy protects temperate plants from abiotic stress during the winter. Once it is established, plants become non-responsive to growth stimuli until they are exposed to a period of cold temperatures (‘chilling’). Climate change is threatening this mechanism by disrupting its environmental cues. Red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) crops are impacted by this issue, causing significant economic losses for the industry. This PhD project characterised the mechanisms and genes underpinning dormancy in two raspberry cultivars with contrasting responses, ‘Glen Ample’ and ‘Glen Dee’. Historic phenology and meteorology data were integrated in mathematical models to identify and quantify the drivers of bud break in ‘Glen Ample’ and ‘Glen Dee’. The models identified optimum and suboptimum ranges of accumulated chill and time of application in ‘Glen Ample’. Bud break in ‘Glen Dee’ was found to be independent of cold exposure. Genetic mechanisms underlying the different responses of ‘Glen Dee’ and ‘Glen Ample’ were analysed through transcriptomic profiling. The analysis produced a month-by-month overview of the processes occurring during dormancy in ‘Glen Ample’. Phenotypic and transcriptomic data suggested a misregulation of dormancy induction in ‘Glen Dee’. A VRN1-like gene, RiVRN1.1, was identified as a potential candidate. Metabolic profiling was conducted over the same tissue samples. The results identified dormancy status as the main driver of variation in ‘Glen Ample’. This variation did not occur in ‘Glen Dee’, supporting the misregulation of dormancy observed in transcriptomic and phenotypic analysis. QTL analysis identified loci associated with winter phenology traits in a population developed by crossing ‘Glen Ample’ and ‘Glen Dee’. 14 loci linked to spring vigour, duration of dormancy, time of senescence and bud break were identified. The results of this study, and the tools and datasets developed provide a framework for molecular biology studies on winter phenology in raspberry.

The anisotropy described by Legendre polynomials and the extracted rotational state contributions were found to vary on a likewise narrow energy scale as the rotationally averaged rate coefficient. For the first time angular dependences higher than 2$^{nd}$ order could be deduced. Moreover, a slight anisotropy at zero collision energy was observed which is caused by the flattened velocity distribution of the electron beam.

description: The article addresses recent changes in the views of the Japanese government, headed by Prime Minister Abe Shinzō, regarding the content and desired effect of its economic policy, which is presented to the public under the brand of Abenomics. The article highlights the major points of the economic credo proclaimed by the Japanese cabinet set up by the current leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic party after the Diet Lower House elections of late 2012. It presents the mid-term goals set by the new cabinet, as well as the principal macroeconomic tools that were meant to be mobilized by the cabinet in order to secure the achievement of these goals by means of modifying the tendencies which had solidified during the previous two decades, and bringing fresh stimulus and dynamism to the Japanese economy. The author briefly reviews the results of economic performance following several years of practicing Abenomics by the government and monetary authorities and possible explanations of the lack of significant progress in achieving the goals that had been initially set. The author traces the evolution of the priorities in the economic tasks formulated by the Abe cabinets, which have been shifting from stimulating demand and reflation to promoting growth of productivity through dissemination of new technologies and ensuring an adequate supply of labor resources. The article notes the reassessment in 2015-2016 of potential effectiveness of monetary policy instruments as a means of supporting and accelerating economic growth, as well as the awareness of limited potential of additional input of public funds through government efforts as a tool for invigorating investment activity in the economy. A change in priorities is pointed out, both in the public presentation of the government’s economic and social policies and, to a lesser extent, in their practical implementation, which was the logical consequence of the reevaluation of effectiveness of former tools. Recent government documents setting larger goals, in particular the annual Future Investment Strategy, are analyzed as a reflection of the new vision of the economic role of the state. This vision includes less concern for current short-term macroeconomic indicators and more responsibility of the government for the fundamental characteristics and quality of the resources laying the foundation for national economic activities. The article concludes that the Japanese government’s policy regarding social and business activities has been seriously adjusted to raise Japan’s global competitiveness and ensure conditions for long-term sustainable growth of its economy. The said adjustment includes the abandonment of the traditional “industrial policy” concept.

description: The article discusses the attitude of Japanese government towards the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), which was introduced in the United Nations’ agenda in 2017. The case of Japan is special and even unique, due to the fact that, in spite of its historical experience of atomic bombings and the position of its civil society, which supports the idea of a nuclear ban, Tokyo refuses to sign the Treaty. Moreover, the rejection of the TPNW does not correlate with Japan’s active participation in the international nuclear non-proliferation initiatives. As far as Japan is undoubtedly an influential member of world community and a threshold state, possessing advanced nuclear technologies and ready to transform its peaceful nuclear program into a military one, its position regarding the TPNW can have a significant impact on the prospects of the nuclear non-proliferation regime in Asia. The author concludes that Japan has demonstrated an obvious refusal to sign the TPNW, in spite of all factors which could have produced the alternative position. However, its views remain ambiguous, as Tokyo adheres to international nuclear non-proliferation regimes and comprehensive nuclear disarmament. On the one hand, Japan is one of the U.S.’ main allies, remaining under the U.S. security guaranties, being protected by the U.S. nuclear umbrella from external threats, and incorporated in the global system of nuclear deterrence. On the other hand, there is certain support for ideas of nuclear non-proliferation and prohibition of nuclear weapons in Japanese society, which is demonstrated by the activity of Japanese anti-nuclear nongovernmental organizations. Consequently, in relation to the TPNW, Japan demonstrates an inconsistent course, involving the reliance on the U.S. nuclear umbrella in order to provide its security and active participation in the international nuclear non-proliferation initiatives simultaneously.

THE PLACE OF HISTORICAL MEMORY IN PERCEPTION OF CHINA BY JAPANESE SOCIETY

description: Despite the strong economic gravity between Japan and China, there are still many social factors that pull the countries apart. One of such factors is the negative image of the partner, which is largely related to the memory of World War II. The perception of China in Japanese society has been changing over the post-war decades. After Japan’s surrender and occupation of the country by the Allied Powers, political, economic, and cultural distance between the two countries grew. This led to a “lapse of memory” related to China among the post-war generation of the Japanese. Interest towards China in Japan started growing noticeably after some time had passed since the normalization of Sino-Japanese relations (1972) - from the late 1980s-early 1990s, as the contacts between the countries on different levels became increasingly active. The image of China in Japan deteriorated dramatically for the first time after the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, which demonstrated that China was an unsafe country with a repressive state machine. The attitude of Japanese society to China has been worsening since then for various reasons. Starting from the 1990s, as the Sino-Japanese relations were developing and becoming increasingly complex, new problems shaping the negative image of China emerged, including the struggle for geopolitical influence, global competition, negative influence of China on the environmental situation in the region, insufficient quality of Chinese products, problems of communication with Chinese business partners, the growing number of Chinese tourists in Japan, etc. As Sino-Japanese relations became more complicated, the problem of historical memory was felt more and more acutely. This problem fits into the whole picture of controversies accumulated in the Sino-Japanese relations and intensifies some of them. Despite the unfavorable perception of China by Japanese society, signs of improvement can be seen in the last few years. In particular, many young Japanese view China and the prospects of developing the bilateral relations positively. Contacts with China give them ample opportunity to understand that country better, and closer economic ties make the influence of political factors less pronounced.
Cutpoints and resistance of random walk paths

description: We construct a bounded degree graph $G$, such that a simple random walk on it is transient but the random walk path (i.e., the subgraph of all the edges the random walk has crossed) has only finitely many cutpoints, almost surely. We also prove that the expected number of cutpoints of any transient Markov chain is infinite. This answers two questions of James, Lyons and Peres [A Transient Markov Chain With Finitely Many Cutpoints (2007) Festschrift for David Freedman]. Additionally, we consider a simple random walk on a finite connected graph $G$ that starts at some fixed vertex $x$ and is stopped when it first visits some other fixed vertex $y$. We provide a lower bound on the expected effective resistance between $x$ and $y$ in the path of the walk, giving a partial answer to a question raised in [Ann. Probab. 35 (2007) 732--738].

description: The article discusses training manuals for military personnel which were the basis of the ideological education of soldiers and officers in the Imperial Japanese Army. These manuals, being an important instrument of ideological education, played an important part in the life of Japanese society in the Meiji period. Their authors took into account all possible aspects of the military service, seeking to give answers and explanations to all questions of spiritual, legal, and practical character. Those manuals regulated every movement of the soldiers, shaping their consciousness and way of thinking.
TEN ESSAYS ON NATIONAL CHARACTER BY HAGA YAICHI

description: In the late 19th - early 20th centuries we see active search for the national characteristics of the Japanese people. This article analyzes the book by a famous expert on Japanese literature Haga Yaichi (1867-1927) Ten Essays on National Character (1907). This book was, to a large extent, a response to the work by Kishimoto Nobuta, Five Features of the Japanese (1902), who was a Christian. A number of similarities are observed in these works (they appreciate the cleanliness of the Japanese, their cheerfulness and activity, ability to adapt borrowings, their sense of beauty, politeness, and etiquette behavior). However, there are radical differences too. For Kishimoto, “the Japanese” was an independent entity, while Haga described the Japanese in their relation to the state and as its attachment. Kishimoto talked about the character of the Japanese in peaceful times, while Haga Yaichi interpreted the peculiarities of the national character primarily from the viewpoint of readiness for war and death for the emperor and the motherland. Kishimoto’s writing was not popular and was forgotten. But the views of Haga Yaichi were adopted by the propaganda machine and became one of the main sources for the Kokutai no hongi, the fundamental text of Japanese totalitarianism.

A treatment of the Cauchy--Schwarz inequality in $C^*$-modules

description: We study the Cauchy--Schwarz and some related inequalities in a semi-inner product module over a $C^*$-algebra $\A$. The key idea is to consider a semi-inner product $\A$-module as a semi-inner product $\A$-module with respect to another semi-inner product. In this way, we improve some inequalities such as the Ostrowski inequality and an inequality related to the Gram matrix. The induced semi-inner products are also related to the the notion of covariance and variance. Furthermore, we obtain a sequence of nested inequalities that emerges from the Cauchy--Schwarz inequality. As a consequence, we derive some interesting operator-theoretical corollaries. In particular, we show that the sequence arising from our construction, when applied to a positive element of a $C^*$-algebra, converges to its pseudo-inverse.

description: This research report draws on interviews with civic activists conducting evacuations from Russian occupied territories in Ukraine, as well as some evacuees, to shed light on the human rights abuses and totalitarian forms of governance that shape daily life in these territories. It utilises the concept of “civicness” as a form of public authority grounded in mutual obligation among individuals and groups, to highlight the strength of the societal resilience fostered by Ukraine’s “do-it-yourself” culture of active citizenship. In Russian occupied territories, these civic ties and relationships constitute a form of subversion to occupation, and a means of survival for those seeking escape from the threats to life and liberty that the Russian occupation entails. At the time of writing, a US-brokered negotiation process has begun in the form of bilateral US-Ukraine and US-Russia talks, hosted by Saudi Arabia. In parallel to this process, Ukraine and European states have been engaged in a discussion about the design of post-conflict security guarantees. A plausible outcome of these developments is that Russia will remain in some form of de facto control of at least some of the territories it presently occupies. This makes testimony from humanitarian civic defenders, who run networks operating across both sides of the line of control, important to building a picture about the conditions Ukrainian citizens are facing on the ground, and the human rights monitoring and protection measures that should be included, as an absolute minimum, in any ceasefire agreement. The report makes a number of policy recommendations in this regard, including access for and guaranteeing the safety of independent human rights monitors, establishing freedom of movement across the lines of control, and the release of the thousands of arbitrarily detained captives of the regime.
