description: The nanoscale fluctuation dynamics of semi dilute high molecular weight polymer solutions of Polyethylenoxide (PEO) in D2O under non-equilibrium flow conditions were studied by the neutron spin-echo technique. The sample cell was in contraction flow geometry and provided a pressure driven flow with a high elongational component that stretched the polymers most efficiently. The experiments suggest that the mobility on the scale of a few monomers, comparable to the Kuhn segment length, becomes highly anisotropic and is enhanced perpendicular to the flow direction. Diffraction data show a weak structural correlation along the chains on a length scale of about 17 Angstroems, which might be related to the Kuhn length in this system.

Revisiting the formation mechanism for coronal rain from previous studies

description: Solar coronal rain is classified generally into two categories: flare-driven and quiescent coronal rain. The latter is observed to form along both closed and open magnetic field structures. Recently, we proposed that some of the quiescent coronal rain events, detected in the transition region and chromospheric diagnostics, along loop-like paths could be explained by the formation mechanism for quiescent coronal rain facilitated by interchange magnetic reconnection between open and closed field lines. In this study, we revisited 38 coronal rain reports from the literature. From these earlier works, we picked 15 quiescent coronal rain events out of the solar limb, mostly suggested to occur in active region closed loops due to thermal nonequilibrium, to scrutinize their formation mechanism. Employing the extreme ultraviolet images and line-of-sight magnetograms, the evolution of the quiescent coronal rain events and their magnetic fields and context coronal structures is examined. We find that 6, comprising 40%, of the 15 quiescent coronal rain events could be totally or partially interpreted by the formation mechanism for quiescent coronal rain along open structures facilitated by interchange reconnection. The results suggest that the quiescent coronal rain facilitated by interchange reconnection between open and closed field lines deserves more attention.

description: In this paper, we study the influence of the axion-plasmon, as proposed in (Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 181803 (2018)) on the optical properties of the Schwarzschild black hole. Our aim is to provide a test to detect the effects of a fixed axion background using black holes. To accomplish our goal, we explore the effect of the axion-plasmon coupling on the motion of photons around the Schwarzschild black hole and check the possibility of observing those effects upon the black hole shadow, the gravitational deflection angle, Einstein rings and shadow images obtained by radially infalling gas on a black hole within a plasma medium. We find that these quantities are indeed affected by the axion-plasmon coupling parameters which consequently generalize some of the well-known results in the literature. It is shown that the size of the black hole shadow decreases with increasing axion-plasmon if observed from sufficiently large distance.

description: We present a generalized energy-depot model in which the conversion rate of the internal energy into motion can be dependent on the position and the velocity of a particle. When the conversion rate is a general function of the velocity, the active particle exhibits diverse patterns of motion including a braking mechanism and a stepping motion. The phase trajectories of the motion are investigated in a systematic way. With a particular form of the conversion rate dependent on the position and velocity, the particle shows a spontaneous oscillation characterizing a negative stiffness. These types of active behaviors are compared with the similar phenomena observed in biology such as the stepping motion of molecular motors and the amplification in hearing mechanism. Hence, our model can provide a generic understanding of the active motion related to the energy conversion and also a new control mechanism for nano-robots. We also investigate the noise effect, especially on the stepping motion and observe the random walk-like behavior as expected.

description: Spin valve systems based on the giant magnetoresistive (GMR) effect as used for example in hard disks and automotive applications consist of several functional metallic thin film layers. We have identified by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) two main degradation mechanisms: One is related to oxygen diffusion through a protective cap layer, and the other one is interdiffusion directly at the functional layers of the GMR stack. By choosing a suitable material as cap layer (TaN), the oxidation effect can be suppressed.

description: Um den nächsten Generationen eine bestmögliche schulmathematische Ausbildung zu garantieren, ist es notwendig, die Geschichte des Mathematikunterrichts zu kennen und zu verstehen. Da der historischen Entwicklung des mathematischen Unterrichts in der gymnasialen Oberstufe auf österreichischem Boden bisher wenig Beachtung geschenkt wurde, ist das Ziel der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit, den Mathematikunterricht der Oberstufe des österreichischen Gymnasiums zu rekonstruieren. Im theoretischen ersten Teil werden jene Faktoren, die die historische Entwicklung des Mathematikunterrichts beeinflusst haben, näher erläutert. Damit die Änderungen der Schwerpunktsetzungen bezüglich der mathematischen Inhalts- und Tätigkeitsbereiche des Mathematikunterrichts im Laufe der Zeit festgestellt werden können, wurde eine Längsschnittstudie mithilfe einer inhaltsorientieren Analyse von Reifeprüfungsaufgaben des Europagymnasiums in Klagenfurt durchgeführt. Die empirische Studie, die den zweiten Teil der Arbeit bildet, zeigt, dass bei den Reifeprüfungen aus Mathematik kontinuierlich mehr mathematische Inhalte und Tätigkeiten gefordert wurden. Das zeigt, dass sich ebenfalls der Fokus des Mathematikunterrichts in Österreich änderte: Von einem inhalts- zum kompetenzorientierten Unterricht.

description: Motivated by recent data analyses in biomedical imaging studies, we consider a class of image-on-scalar regression models for imaging responses and scalar predictors. We propose using flexible multivariate splines over triangulations to handle the irregular domain of the objects of interest on the images, as well as other characteristics of images. The proposed estimators of the coefficient functions are proved to be root-n consistent and asymptotically normal under some regularity conditions. We also provide a consistent and computationally efficient estimator of the covariance function. Asymptotic pointwise confidence intervals and data-driven simultaneous confidence corridors for the coefficient functions are constructed. Our method can simultaneously estimate and make inferences on the coefficient functions while incorporating spatial heterogeneity and spatial correlation. A highly efficient and scalable estimation algorithm is developed. Monte Carlo simulation studies are conducted to examine the finite-sample performance of the proposed method, which is then applied to the spatially normalized positron emission tomography data of the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative.

description: Cosmochemical evidence for the existence of short-lived radioisotopes (SLRI) such as $^{26}$Al and $^{60}$Fe at the time of the formation of primitive meteorites requires that these isotopes were synthesized in a massive star and then incorporated into chondrites within $\sim 10^6$ yr. A supernova shock wave has long been hypothesized to have transported the SLRI to the presolar dense cloud core, triggered cloud collapse, and injected the isotopes. Previous numerical calculations have shown that this scenario is plausible when the shock wave and dense cloud core are assumed to be isothermal at $\sim 10$ K, but not when compressional heating to $\sim 1000$ K is assumed. We show here for the first time that when calculated with the FLASH2.5 adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) hydrodynamics code, a 20 km/sec shock wave can indeed trigger the collapse of a 1 $M_\odot$ cloud while simultaneously injecting shock wave isotopes into the collapsing cloud, provided that cooling by molecular species such as H$_2$O, CO$_2$, and H$_2$ is included. These calculations imply that the supernova trigger hypothesis is the most likely mechanism for delivering the SLRI present during the formation of the solar system.

description: Bacterial biofilms can initiate chronic infections that become difficult to eradicate. There is an unmet need for effective therapeutic strategies that control and inhibit the growth of these biofilms. Herein, light sensitive mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with photothermal (PTT) and antimicrobial combined capabilities have been developed. These nanosystems have high therapeutic potential to affect the bacterial biofilm architecture and subsequently inhibit its growth. Nucleation of gold nanorods followed by the growth of a silica shell leads to a core@shell design (AuNR@MSN) with PTT properties. Incorporation of nitrosothiol groups (-SNO) with a heat liable linker, enables an enhanced nitric oxide release upon photothermal stimulation with near infrared radiation. Further loading of an antimicrobial molecule such as the levofloxacin (LEVO) antibiotic creates a unique nanoassembly with potential therapeutic efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus bacterial biofilms. A dispersion rate of the bacterial biofilm was evident when light stimuli is applied because impregnation of the nitrosothiol functionalized nanosystem with the antibiotic LEVO led to ca. 30% reduction but its illumination with near infrared (NIR) irradiation showed a biofilm reduction of ca. 90%, indicating that localized antimicrobial exposure and PTT improves the therapeutic efficacy. These findings envision the conception of near-infraredactivated nanoparticle carriers capable of combined therapy upon NIR irradiation, which enables photothermal therapy, together with the release of levofloxacin and nitric oxide to disrupt the integrity of bacterial biofilms and achieve a potent antimicrobial therapy.

description: Seit einigen Jahren ist eine spürbare Entgrenzung und Neuverhandlung der traditionellen Konzeption von Kunsttheater zu beobachten: vom Authentizitätsdiskurs, über die Debatten um »Experten des Alltags« und Partizipation bis hin zur jüngsten Diskussion um Theater mit und von behinderten Darstellern. Immer geht es darum, die Grenzen dessen, was wir als Kunsttheater kennen und anerkennen, produktiv zu verhandeln, sodass uns die historische Dimension unseres Denkens des Theaters vor Augen geführt wird. Unsere Beiträge gehen von der These aus, dass sich Kunsttheater seit der Moderne stets im Aushandlungsprozess zwischen einem ›professionellen‹ und einem ›dilettantischen Dispositiv‹ konstituiert und beleuchtet das Spannungsfeld zwischen dem Kunsttheater und seinem ›Anderen‹ auf gesellschaftlicher, institutioneller und ästhetischer Ebene, und zwar sowohl aus historischer Perspektive als auch am Beispiel der aktuellen Theaterpraxis mit und von Behinderten.

description: Network traffic matrix estimation is an ill-posed linear inverse problem: it requires to estimate the unobservable origin destination traffic flows, X, given the observable link traffic flows, Y, and a binary routing matrix, A, which are such that Y = AX. This is a challenging but vital problem as accurate estimation of OD flows is required for several network management tasks. In this paper, we propose a novel model for the network traffic matrix estimation problem which maps high-dimension OD flows to low-dimension latent flows with the following three constraints: (1) nonnegativity constraint on the estimated OD flows, (2) autoregression constraint that enables the proposed model to effectively capture temporal patterns of the OD flows, and (3) orthogonality constraint that ensures the mapping between low-dimensional latent flows and the corresponding link flows to be distance preserving. The parameters of the proposed model are estimated with a training algorithm based on Nesterov accelerated gradient and generally shows fast convergence. We validate the proposed traffic flow estimation model on two real backbone IP network datasets, namely Internet2 and G'EANT. Empirical results show that the proposed model outperforms the state-of-the-art models not only in terms of tracking the individual OD flows but also in terms of standard performance metrics. The proposed model is also found to be highly scalable compared to the existing state-of-the-art approaches.

description: The H.E.S.S. array of Cherenkov telescopes has performed, from 2004 to 2007, a survey of the inner Galactic plane at photon energies above 100 GeV. About 400 hours of data have been accumulated in the region between -30 and +60 degrees in Galactic longitude, and between -3 and +3 degrees in Galactic latitude. Assuming that dark matter is composed of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles, we calculate here the H.E.S.S. sensitivity map for dark matter annihilations, and derive the first experimental constraints on the ''mini-spikes'' scenario, in which a gamma-ray signal arises from dark matter annihilation around Intermediate Mass Black Holes. The data exclude the proposed scenario at a 90% confidence level for dark matter particles with velocity-weighted annihilation cross section sigma v above 10^28 cm3s^-1 and mass between 800 GeV and 10 TeV.

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: Using the example of the harmonic oscillator, we illustrate the use of hybrid dynamical brackets in analyzing quantum-classical interaction. We only assume that a hybrid dynamical bracket exists, is bilinear, and reduces to the pure quantum/classical bracket when acting on pure quantum/classical variables. Any hybrid bracket obeying these natural requirements will produce the same dynamics for pure classical or quantum variables, given a hybrid Hamiltonian. Backreaction is manifested in the evolution of a nonvanishing commutator between classical variables. The more massive the classical system is, the less it is affected by backreaction. Interestingly, we show that while pure variables evolve to violate the pure canonical relations, they always obey the hybrid canonical relations. The dynamics of hybrid variables, on the other hand, is shown to require a fully specified and consistent hybrid bracket, otherwise evolution cannot be defined.

The static and the dynamic : a study of the hidden world of Ibuse Masuji
Creators: name: Brown, Janice
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis examines certain selected works of Ibuse Masuji in an attempt to gain an insight into the nature of: this author's literary genius. Exhibiting several unique characteristics, such as the combination of symbolism and humour, realism and fantasy, Ibuse's works are seen to comprise a world that is vital and complex yet at times enigmatic and mysterious. An analysis of four principal works will attempt to show how Ibuse gradually reveals this hidden world and comes to integrate its various aspects into a harmonious whole through certain modifications and shifts of emphasis throughout his career. Although Ibuse's literary vision alters, its central focus remains virtually unchanged and throughout his literary life, Ibuse continues to concern himself with the contrast between the static and the dynamic, two principal elements in his work which both conceal and reveal meaning and emotion. Chapter 1 deals with "Sanshōuo", Ibuse's first work, which represents the early years of his career 1923-1930. Exploring life's hidden depths in terms of allegory and fantasy, "Sanshōuo" shows these depths to be an ambivalent area in which static and dynamic elements meet and mingle. In contrast to "Sanshōuo" and the early years is "Sazanami gunki" which is examined in Chapter 2. A work which characterizes the pre-war period of Ibuse's career (1930-1939), "Sazanami gunki" represents a major change in direction for the author as Ibuse leaves behind the static world of "Sanshōuo" and finds inspiration in the flow and movement of life. Chapter 3 deals with "Yōhai taichō", a work which is representative of the post-war years (1946-1953) arid shows Ibuse's return to static concerns and themes. At the same time, however, "Yōhai taichō" represents a re-integration of earlier techniques and perspectives and thus a greater sophistication. In Chapter 4 both static and dynamic elements are brought into full play in Ibuse's masterpiece, "Kuroi ame", a work which characterizes the later years of his career (1954-present). Here Ibuse is at his zenith as he creates a work of remarkable depth and scope, stressing the wholeness of life and nature more surely and more expertly than in the past. It is hoped that an examination of these four works will help to provide some insight into the nature of this author's genius as well as into the essence of his art.

description: In the last years the attentions on the energy efficiency on historical buildings grows, as different research project took place across Europe. The attention on combining, the need of the preservation of the buildings, their value and their characteristic, with the need of the reduction of energy consumption and the improvements of indoor comfort condition, stimulate the discussion of two points of view that are usually in contradiction, buildings engineer and Conservation Institution. The results are surprising because a common field is growing while remains the need of balancing the respective exigencies. From these experience results clear that many questions should be answered also from the building physicist regarding the correct assessment: on the energy consumption of this class of buildings, on the effectiveness of the measures that could be adopted, and much more. This thesis gives a contribution to answer to these questions developing a procedure to analyse the historic building. The procedure gives a guideline of the energy audit for the historical building considering the experimental activities to dial with the uncertainty of the estimation of the energy balance. It offers a procedure to simulate the energy balance of building with a validated dynamic model considering also a calibration procedure to increase the accuracy of the model. An approach of design of energy efficiency measures through an optimization that consider different aspect is also presented. All the process is applied to a real case study to give to the reader a practical understanding.

description: The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, located under 1.4 km of Antarctic ice, instruments a cubic kilometer of ice with 5,160 optical modules that detect Cherenkov radiation originating from neutrino interactions. The more densely instrumented center, DeepCore, aims to detect atmospheric neutrinos at 10-GeV scales to improve important measurements of fundamental neutrino properties such as the oscillation parameters and to search for non-standard interactions. Sensitivity to oscillation parameters, dependent on the distance traveled over the neutrino energy (L/E), is limited in IceCube by the resolution of the arrival angle (which determines L) and energy (E). Event reconstruction improvements can therefore directly lead to advancements in oscillation results. This work uses a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to reconstruct the energy of 10-GeV scale neutrino events in IceCube, providing results with competitive resolutions and faster runtimes than previous likelihood-based methods.

description: Real-time detection of COVID-19 using radiological images has gained priority due to the increasing demand for fast diagnosis of COVID-19 cases. This paper introduces a novel two-phase approach for classifying chest X-ray images. Deep Learning (DL) methods fail to cover these aspects since training and fine-tuning the model's parameters consume much time. In this approach, the first phase comes to train a deep CNN working as a feature extractor, and the second phase comes to use Extreme Learning Machines (ELMs) for real-time detection. The main drawback of ELMs is to meet the need of a large number of hidden-layer nodes to gain a reliable and accurate detector in applying image processing since the detective performance remarkably depends on the setting of initial weights and biases. Therefore, this paper uses Chimp Optimization Algorithm (ChOA) to improve results and increase the reliability of the network while maintaining real-time capability. The designed detector is to be benchmarked on the COVID-Xray-5k and COVIDetectioNet datasets, and the results are verified by comparing it with the classic DCNN, Genetic Algorithm optimized ELM (GA-ELM), Cuckoo Search optimized ELM (CS-ELM), and Whale Optimization Algorithm optimized ELM (WOA-ELM). The proposed approach outperforms other comparative benchmarks with 98.25% and 99.11% as ultimate accuracy on the COVID-Xray-5k and COVIDetectioNet datasets, respectively, and it led relative error to reduce as the amount of 1.75% and 1.01% as compared to a convolutional CNN. More importantly, the time needed for training deep ChOA-ELM is only 0.9474 milliseconds, and the overall testing time for 3100 images is 2.937 seconds.

Merit feasting among the Kalash Kafirs of North Western Pakistan
Creators: name: Darling, Elizabeth Gillian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis explores merit feasting among the Kalasli Kafirs of Chitral District, north western Pakistan. Feasting is a multifunctional exchange phenomenon found universally in societies having primitive (pre-market) economies. The Kalash example will illustrate that this institution links economic, social, political, and religious dimensions in such non-monetary cultures. I argue that while habitat may have the potential of supporting such an exchange system, individual industry in agriculture and animal husbandry is the critical economic factor. Accumulated wealth is then; transformed into social and religious power and prestige through its redistribution at feasts. The Kalash have an informal political hierarchy where men achieve high positions by exhibiting the same qualities which make feast-givers successful aspirants for rank. Kalasli social organization, particularly their bilateral kinship structure)is also reflected in the institution of merit feasting. Feasting is more than a secular event for the Kalash, and sections of this thesis illustrate their assertion that wealth is god-given and must be redistributed at feasts if the gods are to continue to bestow their blessings. Moreover, feasts are both cultural performances (where the artistic forms of a culture are expressed), as well as public forums at which information and ideas may be widely shared and re-inforced. Presently among a portion of the Kalashi population, a cultural renaissance is occurring which permitted the opportunity to document the following materials and hopefully, future possibilities of recording the customs and beliefs of an archaic culture that otherwise is fast slipping into obscurity.

description: The standard approach to the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) holds that as a country develops and GDP per capita grows environmental degradation initially increases but eventually it reaches a turning point where environmental degradation begins to decline. Environmental degradation takes many forms, one of them being emissions of harmful gases. According to the EKC concept, a country can reduce emissions by ‘growing’. The standard approach implicitly assumes that a country emits as little as possible for its economic development, whereas in reality, a country might emit above the best attainable level of emissions. Therefore, emissions could be reduced before and after the turning point by becoming more environmentally efficient – i.e., ‘improving’ the emissions level. This article proposes a Stochastic Environmental Kuznets Frontier (SEKF) which is estimated for CO2 emissions for OECD countries and used to benchmark each country before and after the turning point differently, thus, indicating how a country could ‘grow’ and/or ‘improve’ to reduce its CO2 emissions. Additionally, we analyse the role of the stringency of environmental policies in reducing a country’s carbon inefficiency measured by the distance from the benchmark EKC and find widespread carbon inefficiencies that could be reduced by more stringent market-based environmental policies.

Fermion states on domain wall junctions and the flavor number

description: In this paper we address the problem of localizing fermion states on stable domain walls junctions. The study focus on the consequences of intersecting six independent 8d domain walls to form 4d junctions in a ten-dimensional spacetime. This is related to the mechanism of relaxing to three space dimensions through the formation of domain wall junctions. The model is based on six bulk real scalar fields, the phi-4 model in its broken phase, the prototype of the Higgs field, and is such that the fermion and scalar modes bound to the domain walls are the zero mode and a single massive bound state, which can be regarded as a two level system, at least at sufficiently low energy. Inside the junction, we use the fact that some states are statistically more favored to address the possibility of constraining the flavor number of the elementary fermions.

description: Analysis of edge-state energies in the integer quantum Hall effect is carried out within the semiclassical approximation. When the system is wide so that each edge can be considered separatly, this problem is equivalent to that of a one dimensional harmonic oscillator centered at x=x_c and an infinite wall at x=0, and appears in numerous physical contexts. The eigenvalues E_n(x_c) for a given quantum number n are solutions of the equation S(E,x_c)=π[n+ γ(E,x_c)] where S is the WKB action and 0
