description: As the synthesis of graphene on copper became one of the primary preparation methods for both fundamental research and industrial application, Raman spectra of graphene/Cu systems need to be quantitatively understood regarding how their interactions affect the electronic structure of graphene. Using multi-wavelength Raman spectroscopy, we investigated three types of graphene bound on Cu: graphene grown on Cu foils and Cu film/SiO2, and Cu-evaporated exfoliated graphene. 2D peak frequencies of the first two samples were ~17 cm-1 higher than expected for 1.96 eV excitation even when the effect of strain was considered. More notably, the upshift in 2D decreased with increasing excitation energy. Based on control experiments using Cu-evaporated graphene, we revealed that the spectral anomaly was induced by environment-dependent nonlinear dispersion in the electronic bands of graphene and determined the degree of the electronic modification. We also showed that the large upshifts of G and 2D peaks originating from differential thermal expansion of Cu could be significantly reduced by backing Cu films with dielectric substrates of insignificant thermal expansion. The quantitative analysis of electronic coupling between graphene and Cu presented in this study will be highly useful in characterizing as-grown graphene and possibly in other forms.

Mapping risk, strategy, and performance in IPO organizational knowledge structures

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In this dissertation I investigate initial public offering prospectuses to examine institutionalized outcomes about risk and strategy and test whether information about those outcomes can be used to predict firm performance. I use three conceptual perspectives—managerial risk, New Institutional theory, and Organizational Cognition—to explore these outcomes in the main body of this thesis. The main body contains four articles that, although connected by a common thread, are designed as independent standalone papers. In Chapter 2 I examine the risk factor section of 529 prospectuses from firms that went public of US stock exchanges in 1995 and 1996. Using this data I create a comprehensive content cognitive map of 98 risk factors at represent the content of IPO field's risk knowledge structure. I then identify three methods for measuring these risk factors—pervasiveness, priority, and proportion. Following this I examine how the IPO field structures the risk knowledge structure. In Chapter 3 I use the content map developed in Chapter 2 to test whether I can use this information to predict firm performance. Using the IPO data, I develop several risk measures and compare these to existing proxy measures. I then use multiple regression analyses to test the reliability and validity of the various measures. The final result is a risk factor measure, the BROAD measure, which produced the most consistent results. In Chapter 4 I expand the investigation by examining'how firms and fields make sense of strategy and how it relates to the risk factors. In this chapter I compare three fields with differing" levels of institutionalization to see whether I can find unique institutionalized outcomes—industry recipes—about risk and strategy. In this Chapter I find strong support for the idea that fields have distinctive industry recipes. The results show that the dynamics of these industry recipes differ according to the level and type of institutionalization. Finally, in Chapter 5 I test firm level cognitive maps against the field level industry recipes to examine whether conformity, convergence, or divergence matter to IPO performance. There is some support for the idea that firm conformity to an industry recipe improves firm performance. Additionally, in some institutional conditions, convergence toward an industry recipe also improves IPO performance.

description: The objective of the present article is to investigate the importance of geographical indications (GIs) in the coffee market, particularly for Honduran coffees. Geographical indications for coffee have emerged only recently, and only a few scientific studies have been carried out on this topic so far. The present article addresses this lack of research by highlighting recent developments in the coffee market and by presenting the results of a hedonic price analysis that used internet auction data for specialty coffees. The aim of this analysis is to investigate the influence of the region of origin on the achieved auction price of Honduran specialty coffee, controlling for other coffee attributes. The results indicate that coffees from the region Marcala, for which a denomination of origin was established in 2005, possess on average a higher quality than coffees grown in other Honduran regions. Consequently, since quality is the most important price determinant in the internet auctions, coffees from Marcala achieve on average a higher price than coffees from other Honduran coffee-growing regions. However, the hypothesis that Marcala coffees can also achieve a higher price due to an already established reputation could not be confirmed.

description: We consider the problem of lower bounding a generalized Minkowski measure of subsets of a convex body with a log-concave probability measure, conditioned on the set size. A bound is given in terms of diameter and set size, which is sharp for all set sizes, dimensions, and norms. In the case of uniform density a stronger theorem is shown which is also sharp.

description: In this paper we use a zero-range potential (ZRP) method to model positron interaction with molecules. This allows us to investigate the effect of molecular vibrations on positron-molecule annihilation using the van der Waals dimer Kr2 as an example. We also use the ZRP to explore positron binding to polyatomics and examine the dependence of the binding energy on the size of the molecule for alkanes. We find that a second bound state appears for a molecule with ten carbons, similar to recent experimental evidence for such a state emerging in alkanes with twelve carbons.

Effect of entrainment on stress and pulsar glitches in neutron star crust

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The build up of the stress whose relaxation is presumed to account for pulsar frequency glitches can be attributed to various mechanisms, of which the most efficient involve differential rotation of the neutron superfluid in the inner layers of the (magnetically braked) solid crust of a rotating neutron star. In such a case it is usually supposed that the stress is attributable to pinning of superfluid vortices to crust nuclei, but it has been suggested that, even if the pinning effect is too weak, a comparably large stress might still arise just from the deficit of centrifugal buoyancy in the slowed down crust. The present work is a re-examination that investigates the way such processes may be affected by considerations that were overlooked in the previous work -- notably uncertainties about the ``effective'' masses that have to be attributed to the ``free'' superfluid neutrons to allow for their entrainment by the ionic crust material. Though restricted to a Newtonian formulation, this analysis distinguishes more carefully than has been usual between true velocities, which are contravariantly vectorial, and so called ``superfluid velocities'' that are proportional to momenta, which are essentially covectorial, a technicality that is important when more than one independent current is involved. The results include a Proudman type theorem to the effect that the superfluid angular velocity must be constant on slightly deformed Taylor cylinders in the force free case, and it is shown how to construct a pair of integral constants of the motion that determine the solution for the pinned case assuming beta equilibrium.

description: Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) have become a popular approach for dimensionality reduction. However, despite their ability to identify latent low-dimensional structures embedded within high-dimensional data, these latent representations are typically hard to interpret on their own. Due to the black-box nature of VAEs, their utility for healthcare and genomics applications has been limited. In this paper, we focus on characterising the sources of variation in Conditional VAEs. Our goal is to provide a feature-level variance decomposition, i.e. to decompose variation in the data by separating out the marginal additive effects of latent variables z and fixed inputs c from their non-linear interactions. We propose to achieve this through what we call Neural Decomposition - an adaptation of the well-known concept of functional ANOVA variance decomposition from classical statistics to deep learning models. We show how identifiability can be achieved by training models subject to constraints on the marginal properties of the decoder networks. We demonstrate the utility of our Neural Decomposition on a series of synthetic examples as well as high-dimensional genomics data.

description: To quantify the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and economic burden of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Studies were searched through Embase, MEDLINE, PubMed, and Cochrane Library, as well as conference abstracts (1 January 2000–2 June 2019). Overall, 12 and 17 primary studies were included in the HRQoL and economic burden reviews, respectively. Patients with CLL reported impairment in various quality of life domains when compared with healthy controls, including fatigue, anxiety, physical functioning, social functioning, depression, sleep disturbance, and pain interference. Key factors associated with a negative impact on the HRQoL burden of CLL included female gender, increased disease severity, and the initiation of multiple lines of therapy. Economic burden was assessed for patients with CLL based on disease status and the treatment regimen received. The main cost drivers related to CLL were outpatient and hospitalization-related costs, primarily incurred as a result of chemo/chemoimmunotherapy, adverse events (AEs), and disease progression. Treatment with targeted agents, i.e. ibrutinib and venetoclax, was associated with lower medical costs than chemoimmunotherapy, although ibrutinib was associated with some increased AE costs related to cardiac toxicities. Cost studies of targeted agents were limited by short follow-up times that did not capture the full scope of treatment costs. CLL imposes a significant HRQoL and economic burden. Our systematic review shows that an unmet need persists in CLL for treatments that delay progression while minimizing AEs. Studies suggest targeted therapies may reduce the economic burden of CLL, but longer follow-up data are needed.

description: Over the past decade, coffee producers have been struggling with the world market’s low and unstable coffee prices. Some coffee producing countries try to overcome this crisis by moving from pure commodity exports to higher-price exports of niche market quality products, like “single-origin coffee”, protected by intellectual property tools. Such protection can take the form of trademarks or geographical indications. At present within the single-origin coffee sector, a trend to use the latter form can be observed. For example, “Café de Colombia” was registered as a Protected Geographical Indication under Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. Another recent example is the Ethiopian Fine Coffee Trademarking and Licensing Initiative. In order to protect its coffee industry, the Ethiopian government has filed trademark applications for the country’s most valuable brands in over 30 countries, including all major coffee markets. This article suggests that both concepts offer mixed blessings. The particularities of the global coffee market might in some cases be better accommodated by a trademark scheme whilst in other cases by a geographical indication system. However, in order to ensure the individual farmer benefits from the higher price paid for single-origin coffee on the world coffee market, further steps have to be taken.

description: Medication non-adherence is a widespread problem and has been known to be associated with worse health outcomes and increased healthcare costs. Although many measures of adherence have been developed, their usage is not consistent across studies. Furthermore, statistical methods for analyzing adherence measures have not been rigorously evaluated. Using Proportion of Days Covered (PDC), a commonly used adherence measure, we examine the variability inherent to study inclusion criteria and several variations of the PDC calculation method using a motivating data example. We illustrated via sensitivity analyses the potential for flawed inference when modeling PDC as an outcome measure. We also performed simulation studies to investigate the statistical properties of three statistical models: logistic regression, negative binomial, and ordinal logistic regression models. Our sensitivity analysis showed that parameter estimates can vary greatly depending on the rules for determining the study end date in calculating PDC, or the minimum number of fills in defining the cohort. In simulation studies, logistic regression had lower power than ordinal logistic and negative binomial regression models. Naivete to treatment was an important predictor of adherence and omitting it from statistical models can lead to inflated type I errors. We discourage dichotomizing adherence data as it results in low power. The negative binomial model offers advantages in modeling adherence data, as it avoids the problematic use of a ratio in regression models. The ordinal logistic regression is robust to distributional assumptions with greater power, but naivete to treatment should be adjusted to reserve type I error rate. We also provide a recommendation for defining the observation window in calculating PDC.

description: The equations for the evolution of a homogeneous brane world that emits gravitons at early times, and into a non-Z_2 symmetric bulk, are derived using an AdS-Vaidya spacetime approximation. The behaviour of the black hole mass parameters either side of the brane is analysed, and it is found that in general graviton emission leads to a decrease in the non-Z_2 symmetry. However, the behaviour of the dark radiation term in the Friedmann equation is more complex: it is shown that this term can increase or decrease due to the non-Z_2 symmetry, and can become negative in some cases, leading to H=0 and the brane universe collapsing. Constraints on the initial (nonzero) sizes of the mass parameters are therefore derived.

description: While a chiral fourth generation of quarks is almost ruled out from the data on Higgs boson production and decay at the Large Hadron Collider, vector-like quarks are still a feasible option to extend the fermionic sector of the Standard Model. Such an extension does not suffer from any anomalies and easily passes the constraints coming from oblique electroweak parameters. We consider such minimal extensions with $SU(2)$ singlet and doublet vector-like quarks that may mix with one, or at the most two, of the Standard Model quarks. Constraints on the new mixing angles and phases are obtained from several $ΔB = 1$ and $ΔB = 2$ processes.

description: To determine the impact of telemental health (TMH) use on total healthcare costs and mental health (MH)-related costs paid by a third party among adults with mental health conditions (MHC). This study employed a pre-post design with a non-equivalent control group. The cohort comprised adults with MHCs identified using diagnosis codes from de-identified claims data of the Optum Clinformatics DataMart (2010 January 01 to 2017 June 30). We identified mental health (MH) service users and TMH users (N = 348) based on procedure codes. Non-users (N = 238,595) were defined as those who only used in-person MH services. A Difference-in-Differences (DID) analysis was performed within a multivariable two-part model (TPM) framework to examine the impact of TMH use on adjusted standardized costs (2018 US $) of all healthcare services and MH services. Patient-level and state-level factors were adjusted in TPM. TMH use was associated with significantly higher MH-related costs [Marginal effect = $461.3, 95% confidence interval: $142.4–$780.2] and an excess of $370 increase in MH-related costs at follow-up as compared to baseline. However, TMH use was not associated with an increase in total third-party healthcare costs nor with changes in total costs from baseline to follow-up. Despite having a higher likelihood of MH services use and MH-related costs, TMH users did not have higher total costs as compared to adults using only in-person MH services. Our findings suggest that TMH can increase access to MH care without increasing total healthcare costs among adults with MHC. Future studies exploring whether TMH use can lead to cost-savings over a longer period are warranted.

The array consists of 64 pixels of $6\times6\times20{\rm mm}^3$ which corresponds to the anode pixels of H8500. One of the system is based on commercial ASIC chips in order to readout every anode. The others are based on resistive charge divider network between anodes to reduce readout channels. In both systems, each pixel (6mm) was clearly resolved by flood field irradiation of $^{137}$Cs. We also investigated the energy resolution of these systems and showed the performance of the cascade connection of resistive network between some PMTs for large area detectors.

description: This work discusses the design and testing of a new computational spintronics research software. Boris is a comprehensive multi-physics open-source software, combining micromagnetics modelling capabilities with drift-diffusion spin transport modelling and heat flow solver in multi-material structures. A multi-mesh paradigm is employed, allowing modelling of complex multi-layered structures with independent discretization and arbitrary relative positioning between different computational meshes. Implemented micromagnetics models include not only ferromagnetic materials modelling, but also two-sublattice models, allowing simulations of antiferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic materials, fully integrated in the multi-mesh and multi-material design approach. High computational performance is an important design consideration in Boris, and all computational routines can be executed on GPUs, in addition to CPUs. In particular a modified 3D convolution algorithm is used to compute the demagnetizing field on the GPU, termed pipelined convolution, and benchmark comparisons with existing GPU-accelerated software Mumax3 have shown performance improvements up to twice faster.

description: Mixed-criticality real-time scheduling has been developed to improve resource utilization while guaranteeing safe execution of critical applications. These studies use optimistic resource reservation for all the applications to improve utilization, but prioritize critical applications when the reservations become insufficient at runtime. Many of them however share an impractical assumption that all the critical applications will simultaneously demand additional resources. As a consequence, they under-utilize resources by penalizing all the low-criticality applications. In this paper we overcome this shortcoming using a novel mechanism that comprises a parameter to model the expected number of critical applications simultaneously demanding more resources, and an execution strategy based on the parameter to improve resource utilization. Since most mixed-criticality systems in practice are component-based, we design our mechanism such that the component boundaries provide the isolation necessary to support the execution of low-criticality applications, and at the same time protect the critical ones. We also develop schedulability tests for the proposed mechanism under both a flat as well as a hierarchical scheduling framework. Finally, through simulations, we compare the performance of the proposed approach with existing studies in terms of schedulability and the capability to support low-criticality applications.

Understanding educational leadership anew : adult educators’ stories in conversation
Creators: name: Ashworth, Joanna E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This research aims to disrupt and expand "given" understandings of educational leadership by exploring particular leadership instances of the everyday practice of adult education. Seven adult educators, including the author, offer narrative accounts of planning, designing, teaching, managing, and creating programs for adult learners with a particular interest in the little examined dimension of practice - educational leadership. The author works with the conceptual resources of Hans-Georg Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics, primarily through the theoretical, evocative, and scholarly work of David Jardine. Phenomenology and the corner of this philosophical field referred to as interpretive inquiry, seeks not to explain why or even how we may practice leadership within our educational practices, but rather to understand the phenomenon and its living manifestations through the particular. Narrative texts are interpreted hermeneutically through a constructed conversation that highlights both the common and uncommon understandings of what it means to be an educational leader. Through writing and reading each of these stories, a living and breathing notion of educational leadership is created. In dialogue with others, the author becomes more literate about the meaning of her own experience. Such a dialogue invites the possibility of recognizing the significance of teaching as leading, and educational leadership as leading conversations about what matters in adult education, and in doing so one gains a greater sense of one's own leadership capacity. Implications for the development of educational leaders are considered.

Por meio da pesquisa narrativa e de processos de imersão em três escolas (uma no Brasil e duas em Portugal), investigou-se movimentos de superação do ensino instrucionista e como alguns de seus alunos/as ressignificam tal proposta nas maneiras como decidem, opinam e participam dos processos de aprendizagens.

description: We study the behavior of the renormalized sextic coupling at the intermediate and strong coupling regime for the $ϕ^4 $ theory defined in $d=2$-dimension. We found a good agreement with the results obtained by the field-theoretical renormalization-group in the Ising limit. In this work we use the lattice regularization method.

description: One-dimensional grain boundaries of two-dimensional semiconducting {\MX} (M= Mo,W; X=S,Se) transition metal di-chalcogenides are typically metallic at room temperature. The metallicity has its origin in the lattice polarization, which for these lattices with $D_{3h}$ symmetry is a topological invariant, and leads to one-dimenional boundary states inside the band gap. For boundaries perpendicular to the polarization direction, these states are necessarily 1/3 occupied by electrons or holes, making them susceptible to a metal-insulator transition that triples the translation period. Using density-functional-theory calculations we demonstrate the emergence of combined one-dimensional spin density/charge density waves of that period at the boundary, opening up a small band gap of $\sim 0.1$ eV. This unique electronic structure allows for soliton excitations at the boundary that carry a fractional charge of $\pm 1/3\ e$.

Correlations among Multi-Wavelength Luminosities of Star-Forming Galaxies

description: It has been known for two decades that a tight correlation exists between far-infrared (FIR) and radio (1.4 and 4.8 GHz) global fluxes/luminosities from galaxies, which may be explained in terms of massive star formation activities in these galaxies. For this very reason, a correlation might also exist between X-ray and FIR/radio global luminosities of galaxies. We analyze data from {\it ROSAT} All-Sky Survey and {\it IRAS} to show that such correlation does indeed exist between FIR (42.5$-122.5μ$m) and soft X-ray (0.1$-$2.4keV) luminosities in active star-forming galaxies (ASFGs).In order to establish a physical connection between the $L_{\rmX}-L_{\rm FIR}$ correlation and global star formation rate (SFR) in galaxies, we empirically derive both $L_{\rm X}-L_{\rm B}$ and $L_{\rm FIR}-L_{\rm B}$ relations. Futhermore, we propose a relation between soft X-ray luminosity and SFR in star-forming galaxies. To further understand the $L_{\rm X}-L_{\rm FIR}$ relation, we construct an empirical model in which both FIR and X-ray emissions consist of two components with one being closely associated with star formation and the other not.

Taking measurements of the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect forward: including uncertainties from velocity reconstruction with forward modeling

description: We measure the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect, imprinted by maxBCG clusters, on the Planck SMICA map of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). Our measurement, for the first time, directly accounts for uncertainties in the velocity reconstruction step through the process of Bayesian forward modeling. We show that this often neglected uncertainty budget typically increases the final uncertainty on the measured kSZ signal amplitude by $\simeq15\%$ at cluster scale. We observe evidence for the kSZ effect, at a significance of $\simeq2σ$. Our analysis, when applied to future higher-resolution CMB data, together with minor improvements in map-filtering and signal-modeling methods, should yield both significant and unbiased measurements of the kSZ signal, which can then be used to probe and constrain baryonic content of galaxy clusters and galaxy groups.

Impact of disorder on unconventional superconductors with competing ground states

description: Non-magnetic impurities are known as strong pair breakers in superconductors with pure d-wave pairing symmetry. Here we discuss d-wave states under the combined influence of impurities and competing instabilities, such as pairing in a secondary channel as well as lattice symmetry breaking. Using the self-consistent T-matrix formalism, we show that disorder can strongly modify the competition between different pairing states. For a d-wave superconductor in the presence of a subdominant local attraction, Anderson's theorem implies that disorder always generates an s-wave component in the gap at sufficiently low temperature, even if a pure d_{x^2-y^2} order parameter characterizes the clean system. In contrast, disorder is always detrimental to an additional d_{xy} component. This qualitative difference suggests that disorder can be used to discriminate among different mixed-gap structures in high-temperature superconductors. We also investigate superconducting phases with lattice symmetry breaking in the form of bond order, and show that the addition of impurities quickly leads to the restoration of translation invariance. Our results highlight the importance of controlling disorder for the observation of competing order parameters in cuprates.

description: The database belongs to a case study of 13 primary forests in the State of Pará, Brazil. The studied forests were logged between 2002 and 2016 under sustainable forest management planning. Model inputs, such as plot coordinates and plot elevation, climate data (provided by AgMERRA climate database), soil information (sand, silt, clay, gravel topsoil, gravel subsoil, depth, extracted from Harmonized World Soil Database) and biomass and model outputs as coarse woody debris are available in these files. The model output (i.e. biomass, cumulative net primary productivity - NPPcum and cumulative net measure of ecosystem exchange - NEEcum) were modeled by the BioGeoChemistry Management Model (BGC-MAN). It is a process-based ecosystem model, designed to assess the performance of ecosystems by the transformation of energy and matter within ecosystems. The results are presented in the excel files. The model simulated, for each day, the cycling of energy, water, carbon, and nitrogen within a given ecosystem. Model inputs include meteorological data, such as daily minimum and maximum temperature, incident solar radiation, vapor pressure deficit, precipitation, and day length. Aspect, elevation, nitrogen deposition and fixation, and physical soil properties are needed to calculate the following: daily canopy interception, evaporation, and transpiration; soil evaporation, outflow, water potential, and water content; leaf area index; stomatal conductance and assimilation of sunlit and shaded canopy fractions; growth and maintenance respiration; gross and net primary production; allocation; litterfall and decomposition; mineralization, denitrification, leaching and volatile nitrogen losses. In addition, the dynamic biomass mortality rate was set to 3.6%, with a confidence interval of the error of -6.62% to 6.23% and a prediction interval of the error of -39.26% to 38.86%. For the self-initialization run, we assumed the following fixation rates based on the literature: nitrogen deposition as 5.3 kg ha-1, fixed nitrogen as 2.5 kg ha-1 and carbon dioxide concentration values from 338 to 712 ppm.
