description: Computational studies based on time dependent density functional theory have been conducted to study the excited state structures of the tetroxo d0 transition metal complexes Mn04- , Tc04- , Ru04 and Os04. All the calculations were performed with the ADF 2010 package. It was observed that all the investigated complexes has a C3V geometry for the first excited state. The second excited state has a C2v geometry in case of Mn04- whereas all the other investigated complexes has a D2ct geometry. It was found that the third excited state of Mn04- has a D2ct geometry. Finally, Frank-Condon method was used to simulate the vibronic structure of the absorption spectra of the investigated complexes. The simulated spectra were finally compared with the experimental spectra and results from other theoretical investigations.

description: Soil desiccation is recognized as a potentially robust remediation process for the deep vadose zone. Before this technique can be deployed, several techniques issues need to addressed. In this paper, two experiments are described addressing the issue of potential energy limitations to reduce soil moisture. The experiments are conducted in wedge-shaped, intermediate-scale flow cells. The experiment in the homogeneous porous medium showed a maximum evaporative cooling of ~10° C and a rapid decrease in relative humidity when the drying front passed. In the heterogeneous experiments, the fine-grained sand dried considerably slower than the medium-grained sand and showed two local minima. The first minimum is associated with cooling due to evaporation in the adjacent medium grained sand and the second minimum with cooling the find-grained sand itself. The STOMP simulator was able to simulate desiccation and the associated thermal behavior well in both experiments. The good match for both temperature and relative humidity data shows that the STOMP simulator is using appropriate conservation equations and constitutive relations to describe the experimental observations.

description: Background: The psychological pressure on soldiers during World War I (WWI) and other military conflicts has resulted in many reported cases of psychogenic gait as well as other movement disorders. In this paper, psychogenic movement disorders captured in the WWI film footage “War Neuroses” is reanalyzed.
Methods: Two movement disorders specialists re-examined film images of 21 WWI patients with various and presumed psychogenic manifestations, pre- and post treatment. The film was recorded by Arthur Hurst, a general physician with an interest in neurology.
Results: All 21 subjects were males, and all presented with symptoms relating to war trauma or a psychological stressor (e.g., being buried, shrapnel wounds, concussion, or trench fever). The most common presenting feature was a gait disorder, either pure or mixed with another movement disorder (15), followed by retrograde amnesia (2), abnormal postures (pure dystonia) (1), facial spasm (1), head tremor (1), “hyperthyroidism-hyperadrenalism” (1). Nineteen patients received treatment, and the treatment was identified in nine cases. In most cases, treatment was short and patients improved almost immediately. Occupational therapy was the most common treatment. Other effective methods were hypnosis (1), relaxation (1), passive movements (2), and probable “persuasion and re-education” (6).
Discussion: The high success rate in treating psychogenic disorders in Hurst's film would be considered impressive by modern standards, and has raised doubt in recent years as to whether parts of the film were staged and/or acted.

Comparative evaluation of supply chain replenishment strategies in a capacitated supply chain
Creators: name: Grewal, Chandandeep Singh
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2012

description: Bibliography: p. 189-201
description: This research is intended to evaluate supply chain replenishment strategies m level and seasonal demand environments under optimal decision variable settings. A taxonomy is devised to give insights into the selection of evaluation approaches. An optimal trade-off curve approach is then proposed to compare the replenishment strategies in a manner leading to robust conclusions. A highly parametric and flexible simulation model is developed to explore the behaviour and performance of reorder point and Kanban strategies under different supply chain factors. This simulation model is run in conjunction with a heuristic optimization engine to perform optimum-seeking simulations. The methodology allows optimal decision variables to be determined, including the timing of dynamic adjustments under seasonal demand. The first part of the research focuses on the comparative evaluation of reorder point and Kanban strategies under level demand. Each strategy is optimized with the objective of minimizing total inventory subject to various target customer service levels. Optimal trade-off curves are generated to compare the relative performance of these strategies over the range of service levels. Further, these trade-off curves are used to develop an index to quantify robustness and compare strategies based on robustness. The second part of this research focuses on performance evaluation under seasonal demand with optimal decision variable settings. A simulation-optimization based methodology is developed to dynamically adjust the decision variable settings for specific demand regions. A further experimental design is set up to assess the benefits of dynamic adjustment under different seasonal demand patterns. The results show that the reorder point strategy dominates the Kanban strategy under level demand, with lower inventories for the same target service levels. Robustness evaluation reveals that the Kanban strategy is more robust than the reorder point strategy under changes such as transit time variability and transporter frequency. However, the reorder point strategy is more robust with respect to changes in the mean demand level. Further, the results under seasonal demand show that optimal dynamic adjustment of decision variables significantly reduces inventory and backorder wait times. Comparative analysis, under seasonal demand, leads to the conclusion that the reorder point strategy outperforms the Kanban strategy on every performance measure of interest. All results are validated using appropriate statistical methods.

description: Like many other developing countries, Vietnam recently imported a Westernstylecompetition law. Given its potential impact on the way the government regulatesthe market and on market behaviour, there is considerable scholarly and commercialinterest in understanding how this law has been functioning and in predicting its future.This study was compiled to address these concerns.Departing from the existing literature that mostly examines the law from apolitical economy perspective, this study took an interpretive approach in the belief thatthe manner in which the law is adapted and implemented ultimately rests on theinterpretive perspectives of key actors, such as legislative drafters and the state officialsresponsible for implementing the law. It explored how Western competition law ideashave been interpreted, adapted and implemented in Vietnam. [...]

description: The electronic structure of the nanolaminated transition metal carbide Ti2AlC has been investigated by bulk-sensitive soft x-ray emission spectroscopy. The measured Ti L, C K and Al L emission spectra are compared with calculated spectra using ab initio density-functional theory including dipole matrix elements. The detailed investigation of the electronic structure and chemical bonding provides increased understanding of the physical properties of this type of nanolaminates. Three different types of bond regions are identified; the relatively weak Ti 3d - Al 3p hybridization 1 eV below the Fermi level, and the Ti 3d - C 2p and Ti 3d - C 2s hybridizations which are stronger and deeper in energy are observed around 2.5 eV and 10 eV below the Fermi level, respectively. A strongly modified spectral shape of the 3s final states in comparison to pure Al is detected for the buried Al monolayers indirectly reflecting the Ti 3d - Al 3p hybridization. The differences between the electronic and crystal structures of Ti2AlC, Ti3AlC2 and TiC are discussed in relation to the number of Al layers per Ti layer in the two former systems and the corresponding change of the unusual materials properties.

Expert appetite: an exploration of doing and documenting 'healthy living' online
Creators: name: Dixit, Jaya
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2012

description: Bibliography: p. 138-141
description: Healthy living blogs (HLBs) are web sites with a healthy eating focus, where (mainly) women post photos and recipes of their meals and discuss their food-related aspirations and experiences. The growing readership of these blogs reflects the current reimagination of health expertise to include new sources of authority that are steeped in specific and strategic textual and visual representations of the self and "healthy living." This research looked at sixteen popular HLBs to discover visual and rhetorical expressions of expertise, eating and self-improvement, before closely examining four widely-read blog posts to uncover how discourses of healthy eating are taken up by bloggers and readers. This study found that blogger expertise is contingent on particular visual and textual strategies, that members take up scientific and alternative discourses of eating in specific and competent ways and for particular purposes, and that there are tensions in practices of documenting and doing "healthy living."
Extracting Synonymous Gene and Protein Terms From Biological Literature

description: Motivation: Genes and proteins are often associated with multiple names. More names are added as new functional or structural information is discovered. Because authors can use any one of the known names for a gene or protein, information retrieval and extraction would benefit from identifying the gene and protein terms that are synonyms of the same substance. Results: We have explored four complementary approaches for extracting gene and protein synonyms from text, namely the unsupervised, partially supervised, and supervised machine-learning techniques, as well as the manual knowledge-based approach. We report results of a large scale evaluation of these alternatives over an archive of biological journal articles. Our evaluation shows that our extraction techniques could be a valuable supplement to resources such as SWISSPROT, as our systems were able to capture gene and protein synonyms not listed in the SWISSPROT database. Data Availability: The extracted gene and protein synonyms are available at http://synonyms.cs.columbia.edu/

description: Motivation. Natural language processing (NLP) techniques are used to extract information automatically from computer-readable literature. In biology, the identification of terms corresponding to biological substances (e.g., genes and proteins) is a necessary step that precedes the application of other NLP systems that extract biological information (e.g., protein–protein interactions, gene regulation events, and biochemical pathways). We have developed GPmarkup (for “gene/protein-full name mark up”), a software system that automatically identifies gene/protein terms (i.e., symbols or full names) in MEDLINE abstracts. As a part of marking up process, we also generated automatically a knowledge source of paired gene/protein symbols and full names (e.g., LARD for lymphocyte associated receptor of death) from MEDLINE. We found that many of the pairs in our knowledge source do not appear in the current GenBank database. Therefore our methods may also be used for automatic lexicon generation. Results. GPmarkup has 73% recall and 93% precision in identifying and marking up gene/protein terms in MEDLINE abstracts.Availability: A random sample of gene/protein symbols and full names and a sample set of marked up abstracts can be viewed at http://www.cpmc.columbia.edu/homepages/yuh9001/GPmarkup/.

description: We study the effect of an in-plane magnetic field on the zitterbewegung (ZB) of electrons in a semiconductor quantum well (QW) and in a quantum dot (QD) with the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions. We obtain a general expression of the time-evolution of the position vector and current of the electron in a semiconductor quantum well. The amplitude of the oscillatory motion is directly related to the Berry connection in momentum space. We find that in presence of the magnetic field the ZB in a quantum well does not vanish when the strengths of the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions are equal. The in-plane magnetic field helps to sustain the ZB in quantum wells even at low value of $k_0 d$ (where $d$ is the width of the Gaussian wavepacket and $k_0$ is the initial wave vector). The trembling motion of an electron in a semiconductor quantum well with high Lande g-factor (e.g. InSb) sustains over a long time, even at low value of $k_0 d$. Further, we study the ZB of an electron in quantum dots within the two sub-band model numerically. The trembling motion persists in time even when the magnetic field is absent as well as when the strengths of the SOI are equal. The ZB in quantum dots is due to the superposition of oscillatory motions corresponding to all possible differences of the energy eigenvalues of the system. This is an another example of multi-frequency ZB phenomenon.

description: The three dimensional optimal energy growth mechanism, in plane parallel shear flows, is reexamined in terms of the role of vortex stretching and the interplay between the span-wise vorticity and the planar divergent components. For high Reynolds numbers the structure of the optimal perturbations in Couette, Poiseuille, and mixing layer shear profiles is robust and resembles localized plane-waves in regions where the background shear is large. The waves are tilted with the shear when the span-wise vorticity and the planar divergence fields are in (out of) phase when the background shear is positive (negative). A minimal model is derived to explain how this configuration enables simultaneous growth of the two fields, and how this mutual amplification reflects on the optimal energy growth. This perspective provides an understanding of the three dimensional growth solely from the two dimensional dynamics on the shear plane.

description: This thesis reports the realization and applications of a versatile wideband balanced homodyne detector operating in the time domain and intended for Quantum Optical Tomography. The detector can work with high repetition rate lasers used for the production and measurement of the electric field quadratures of quantum states of light. Full characterization of the detector by shot-noise measurements and by verifying its capability to reconstruct the density matrix and Wigner function of various states of interest is given. By overcoming photodiodes response mismatch, high frequency electronics issues and by choosing an appropriate optical set-up, a high level of common mode suppression (52.4dB) and a low electronic noise gave a shot-to-electronic noise ratio of I3dB for a Local Oscillator with 6.2 x 108 photons-per-pulse on a ~ 100MHz bandwidth. Results for the characterization of a single-photon Fock state are presented. An average efficiency of 56% was obtained for the generation/detection of the state.

description: The suicide car bombing of the Baghdad headquarters of the International Committee of the Red Cross (JCRC) in October 2003 underscored the vulnerability of humanitarian and relief organizations that operate in areas of violent conflict. Since the end of the Cold War, complex humanitarian emergencies have become an increasing priority for NGOs and global health activists around the world. Over the past 10 years as the international public health community has taken a more active role in assisting post-conflict countries, re-establishing their damaged, often ill-equipped or non-existent health care infrastructure, the issues of vulnerability and the lack of security of the public health system have become hurdles and even barriers to relief efforts world wide. A study published in 2000 by Sheik, et al in the British Journal of Medicine listed 67% of all humanitarian-worker deaths as a result of the increase in international violence.

description: First, we give some basic concepts and properties on Markov and Semi-Markov Process­es and Chains, along with Wiener process and Levy process, all of which are prepared for the next Generalized Geometric Markov Renewal Processes. Next,we introduce Cox­Ross-Robinstein binomial model and Aase model, and based on them, generalized Geo­metric Markov Renewal Process models. Then, we consider geometric Markov renewal processes as models for a security market and also study the processes in a diffusion approximation and normal deviation scheme. As an application, we consider the case of two ergodic classes. We present European call option pricing formulas in the case of ergodic, double-averaged, and merged diffusion geometric markov renewal processes. Finally, we introduce Poisson averaging scheme for the geometric Markov renewal pro­cesses to obtain compound Poisson process with deterministic drift and derive its option price under risk-neutral measure. European call option pricing formulas for GMRP are presented. Key Words: Markov chains; Geometric markov renewal processes; Merged Markov space; Phase averaging; Double averaging; Diffusion approximations; European option pricing; Normal deviations; Poisson approximation.

description: CD20 is a tetraspanning membrane protein that is expressed on B lymphocytes, and functions in B cell receptor (BCR)-mediated calcium entry. The effect of murine CD20 deficiency on calcium mobilization was examined in two previous studies, with inconsistent findings. Humoral immunity induced in the context of murine CD20 deficiency was characterized by a reduction in T -independent responses, but normal T­dependent (TD) immune responses. In the current study, I examined the in vitro calcium responses of murine CD20-1- B cells, and the in vivo TD immune responses of CD20-1- mice. I confirmed that BCR-mediated calcium mobilization was reduced in CD20-1- B cells following BCR stimulation. However, calcium responses following CD 19 ligation, and following BCR-CD 19 co-ligation were enhanced, suggesting an indirect role for CD20 in calcium entry rather than direct involvment as a calcium channel. TD immune responses against adeno-associated virus (AA V) and sheep red blood cells (SRBC) were characterized by reduced neutralizing antibody response to AA V, and reduced primary (IgM) and secondary (IgGl and IgG2b) responses to SRBC. The anti-SRBC response was associated with reduced germinal center B cell numbers. Further evaluation of B cells from unimmunized CD20-1- mice revealed increased CD20-1- B cell adhesion, enhanced LF A-1 expression and activation, and enhanced transmigration. The current data characterize a new phenotype for murine CD20 deficiency, and support a role for CD20 in in vivo B cell function.

We establish the existence of the pole suggested in the previous work of the electron (quark) propagator at ultrasoft region, and find that its pole position is p_0=\mp |p|/3-iζ, where ζis the damping rate which is of order g^2T ln 1/g, and the expression of its residue. We also discuss whether the resummation scheme preserves the gauge symmetry.

description: For a system of fermions with a three-body contact interaction the second-order contributions to the energy per particle $\bar E(k_f)$ are calculated exactly. The three-particle scattering amplitude in the medium is derived in closed analytical form from the corresponding two-loop rescattering diagram. We compare the (genuine) second-order three-body contribution to $\bar E(k_f)\sim k_f^{10}$ with the second-order term due to the density-dependent effective two-body interaction, and find that the latter term dominates. The results of the present study are of interest for nuclear many-body calculations where chiral three-nucleon forces are treated beyond leading order via a density-dependent effective two-body interaction.

description: The quark-gluon plasma is considered to behave as a relativistic viscous fluid in the high-energy heavy ion collisions. In this study, I develop and estimate a second order dissipative hydrodynamic model at finite baryon density with effects of baryon dissipation together with those of shear and bulk viscosities. It is found that the hydrodynamic evolution effectively reduces baryon stopping, suggesting that the collisions are less transparent at the initial stage. Also the net baryon distribution is found sensitive to baryon dissipation as well as to viscosities. The results indicate that the dissipative hydrodynamic modeling would be important for understanding unique properties of the hot medium even in the high-energy collisions.

description: The drying of hydrophobic cavities is believed to play an important role in biophysical phenomena such as the folding of globular proteins, the opening and closing of ligand-gated ion channels, and ligand binding to hydrophobic pockets. We use forward flux sampling, a molecular simulation technique, to compute the rate of capillary evaporation of water confined between two hydrophobic surfaces separated by nanoscopic gaps, as a function of gap, surface size and temperature. Over the range of conditions investigated (gaps between 9 and 14 Å and surface areas between 1 and 9 nm^2) the free energy barrier to evaporation scales linearly with the gap between hydrophobic surfaces, suggesting that line tension makes the predominant contribution to the free energy barrier. The exponential dependence of the evaporation rate on the gap between confining surfaces causes a ten order-of-magnitude decrease in the rate when the gap increases from 9 to 14 Å. The computed free energy barriers are of the order of 50kT, and are predominantly enthalpic. Evaporation rates per unit area are found to be two orders of magnitude faster in confinement by the larger (9 nm^2) than by the smaller (1nm^2) surfaces considered here, at otherwise identical conditions. We show that this is a direct consequence of the dependence of hydrophobic hydration on the size of solvated objects. For sufficiently large surfaces, the critical nucleus for the evaporation process is a gap-spanning cylindrical vapor tube.

This study identifies different levels of knowledge ( data, information, knowledge and intelligence) and the processes that facilitate its transfer between organizations. Different characteristics of knowledge are also recognized, and transfer mechanisms that facilitate its transfer identified. When managers are structuring strategic partnerships, they must acknowledge the motivation, ability and opportunity of each partner to exchange knowledge and build in processes and transfer mechanisms that will ensure they meet their knowledge transfer goals.
Wealth and Stratification Processes

description: This paper reviews current information on wealth trends, with particular attention to the role of household wealth in the stratification system. The first section considers the relevance of wealth for stratification processes and examines why an appreciation of household wealth has been slow to materialize in stratification research. Subsequent sections discuss aspects of the distribution of household wealth in the United States, the transmission of inequality across generations, and implications of a consideration of wealth for stratification theory and social policy. The concluding section conveys some observations about the need for developing models of consumption potential and living standards, akin to the socioeconomic attainment formulation, which incorporate measures of household wealth and the transmission of wealth.

description: In the manufacturing industry, there is a growing need for an automated visual inspection (A VI) system that can perform inspection tasks, adapting to job changes without excessive retuning efforts. This thesis presents an adaptable A VI scheme (AA VIS), with which an A VI system can be trained or updated on-line to accommodate new patterns. As such, the system can be quickly deployed to undertake new inspection tasks or adapt to new operation conditions. The key element in the design of the proposed AA VIS is an adaptable inspection model that integrates subject localization, feature extraction, and classification functions as sub-models. When implemented using machine learning techniques, the inspection model can be trained or updated on the go. Efficient online learning strategies are proposed for the implementation of the AA VIS, including training sample selection, minimizing manual verification efforts, and training sufficiency estimation. For subject localization, a novel template matching method is developed to allow tolerance against image distortions such as rotation and changes in size and position. The edge-based distance transform (DT) technique is employed in this method with a coarse­to-fine matching strategy. An efficient heuristic searching algorithm is proposed to achieve searching efficiency and matching accuracy. Upon identifying the Region of Interest (ROI), image features are extracted through the principal component analysis (PCA). An efficient online training algorithm is proposed to construct the feature model. A temporary classification model is used to assist the online training of feature model. In addition, a more sophisticated classification method such as support vector machine (SVM) technique is employed to construct a reliable classification model. An efficient online SVM algorithm is proposed for training the classification model, which emphasizes on the selection of model parameters, online updating, misclassification­penalty adjustment, and training sufficiency estimation. Throughout the development of the AA VIS, data collected from an automobile­parts assembly inspection cell are used to assist system implementation and verify the fulfilment of design goals. The unique features including reliability, efficiency and adaptability provided by the proposed AA VIS will help increase the benefit and functionality of an A VI technique to the improvement of manufacturing quality and productivity, as well as cost reduction.

description: The rapid expansion of multimedia digital collections brings to the fore the need for classifying not only text documents but their embedded non-textual parts as well. We propose a model for basing classification of multimedia on broad, non-topical features, and show how information on targeted nearby pieces of text can be used to effectively classify photographs on a first such feature, distinguishing between indoor and outdoor images. We examine several variations to a TF*IDF-based approach for this task, empirically analyze their effects, and evaluate our system on a large collection of images from current news newsgroups. In addition, we investigate alternative classification and evaluation methods, and the effects that secondary features have on indoor/outdoor classification. Using density estimation over the raw TF*IDF values, we obtain a classification accuracy of 82%, a number that outperforms baseline estimates and earlier, image-based approaches, at least in the domain of news articles, and that nears the accuracy of humans who perform the same task with access to comparable information.
Austen's Nostalgics

Subjects: English literature

description: A history of nostalgia: what could this history be but a chimerical one, given that nostalgia seems to denote an inauthentic longing and vague remembrance that would be hostile to the speci ficities of historical recollection? To reclaim nostalgia as not only a mode of memory but also a mode of history would mean considering it as a strategy—as a response to social conditions and, in fact, as a form of therapy: a winnowing of the speci ficity, emotional disturbance, and unpredictability of reminiscence into a diluted, comfortable, and serviceable retrospect. By understanding nostalgia strategically, or procedurally—what it does, and how it does it—history and nostalgia might again merge; where they meet is in a series of crucial shifts in the psychosocial effects of mobility in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. They meet at a moment when a pathological relation to physical and psychic dislocation becomes depathologized, when, in other words, a speci fic form of traumatic memory is erased in favor of a curative memory that will curiously bear the identical name. The traces of this transformation can be read, and the procedure studied, not only in a set of historical instances but also in narratives that bear its imprint: Jane Austen’s fiction.
The importance of Heidegger's early ontology: how to better understand 'the origin of the work of art' by reading 'being and time'
Creators: name: Read, Timothy Myron
Publisher: name: University of Calgary

description: Bibliography: p. 88-95
description: The aim of this thesis is to orient an audience within the contexts of Heidegger's later thinking by looking back at Being and Time as both an introduction and a guide. My intention is to show how a careful (re)consideration of the earlier concepts truth, world, and disclosure can help us to better understand, as a modification of earlier ideas, the development of a concept central to his later philosophy: namely, the concept of 'artwork' as 'truth establishing itself' or 'setting-up' a world. It is not my intention to provide a close reading of the later text "The Origin of the Work of Art", but to foreshadow the development of it by considering directly related content from Being and Time.
Brushes with Fame: Thackeray and the Work of Celebrity
Creators: name: Dames, Nicholas J.
Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: English literature

description: What is increasingly at stake in the depiction of the famous in Thackeray's fiction is the gradual formation of a new category of public experience called the "celebrity," unmoored from the political or aristocratic underpinnings of older forms of public notoriety and increasingly unlike earlier conceptualizations of fame. In the celebrity, mid-Victorian culture found a social and perceptual category that could not only become more conceptually promiscuous--subsuming martial, literary, artistic, financial, governmental, and criminal fame into one form--but that could also root itself more deeply into the heretofore private consciousnesses of the public and, therefore, could reorient consciousness (particularly memory) toward a newly configured public realm.
