description: In the present work we systematically study the half--lives of proton radioactivity for $51 \leq Z \leq 83$ nuclei based on the Gamow--like model with a screened electrostatic barrier. In this model there are two parameters while considering the screened electrostatic effect of Coulomb potential with the Hulthen potential i.e. the effective nuclear radius parameter r_0 and the screening parameter a. The calculated results can well reproduce the experimental data. In addition, we extend this model to predict the proton radioactivity half--lives of 16 nuclei in the same region within a factor of 2.94, whose proton radioactivity are energetically allowed or observed but not yet quantified. Meanwhile, studying on the proton radioactivity half-life by a type of universal decay law has been done. The results indicate that the calculated half--lives are linearly dependent on Coulomb parameter with the same orbital angular momentum.

The Patient Experience of IVF: A Social Media Analysis Using Service Design and Qualitative Methods

Subjects: Health services administration

Communication in reproductive health

description: This dissertation describes the patient experience. In Chapter One, we review the currentstate of patient-centered care with a specific focus on women’s experiences in infertility treatments, highlighting the gaps in our understanding of their experiences. The four independent but complementary aims of the dissertation studies are then introduced, and we identify how they address current gaps to advance our understanding of women’s experiences using reproductive technology. In Chapter One, we also introduce an innovative service design tool, journey mapping, as well as the Burden of Treatment Framework which guided the dissertation. Chapter Two, An Integrative Review of Journey Mapping to Document the Patient Experience, presents an integrative review examining the use of journey mapping in health care services research. In the analysis of these twenty-two studies, we demonstrate how journey mapping has been adapted to describe the patient experience. While the qualitative rigor of the included studies is of good quality, the inconsistent application of design standards in the accompanying visualizations, when present, suggests that further work and guidance is needed in the adaptation of this service design tool for the health research field. In Chapter Three, Journey Mapping the Patient Experience of IVF: A Social Media Analysis, we used posts from the largest infertility subreddit and patient-facing online resources to describe and visually depict the patient experience of IVF in two journey maps representing the experiences of women in their first cycle of infertility treatment and women in repeat cycles. Findings highlighted problems and unmet needs in the infertility treatment experience, including information needs, communication needs, and support needs. Chapter Four, The Burden of Treatment in IVF: An Analysis of Social Media Using a Framework for Chronic Complex Conditions, used qualitative descriptive methodology to guide inductive and deductive content analysis of posts from the same infertility subreddit. Findings suggest that Eton’s framework is applicable to infertility, but can be expanded by the inclusion of three new constructs that we identified. Finally, Chapter Five synthesizes the key findings across these four aims, outlining their strengths and limitations, and discussing implications for future research, policy, and clinical practice.

The Path Toward the Other: Relational Subjectivity in Modern Chinese Literature, 1919-1945
Creators: Cannella, Shannon Marie
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2014
Subjects: Chinese literature
Subjectivity in literature
Identity (Psychology) in literature

description: This thesis explores the uncharted territory of relational subjectivity in modern Chinese literature. As a model of identity that positions the self in a web of social interaction, emotional connectivity, relational subjectivity suggests that the self is continually partial, open, and constantly "under construction." Lacking an autonomous "closed system," subjects remain open to exchange and to becoming agents of co-created meaning. Through readings of the fiction, essays, and poetry of Lu Xun, Ye Shaojun, Shen Congwen, Bing Xin, Xiao Hong, and Eileen Chang, I investigate the ways these writers manipulated narrative structure, texture and voice to present a discourse of openness, receptivity, and tolerance for difference. My investigation uncovers a wider range of subjectivities and relational yearning than was previously recognized for this era. Chinese writers also linked the discourse of relational subjectivity with a more generalized epistemological openness characterized by neutral visual attentiveness and acts of listening. This study reflects a growing interest in locating forms of sociality in the modern Chinese context. As such, my work furthers the theoretical discourse for examining self-other relationships, especially those shaped by multiple-perspectivism, non-hierarchy and horizontal ways of seeing. Finally, this research offers possibilities for locating an alternative beginning for modern Chinese conceptualizations of self in community.

Fisher information regularization schemes for Wasserstein gradient flows
Creators: name: Li, Wuchen

name: Wang, Li
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We propose a variational scheme for computing Wasserstein gradient flows. The scheme builds upon the Jordan--Kinderlehrer--Otto framework with the Benamou-Brenier's dynamic formulation of the quadratic Wasserstein metric and adds a regularization by the Fisher information. This regularization can be derived in terms of energy splitting and is closely related to the Schr{ö}dinger bridge problem. It improves the convexity of the variational problem and automatically preserves the non-negativity of the solution. As a result, it allows us to apply sequential quadratic programming to solve the sub-optimization problem. We further save the computational cost by showing that no additional time interpolation is needed in the underlying dynamic formulation of the Wasserstein-2 metric, and therefore, the dimension of the problem is vastly reduced. Several numerical examples, including porous media equation, nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation, aggregation diffusion equation, and Derrida-Lebowitz-Speer-Spohn equation, are provided. These examples demonstrate the simplicity and stableness of the proposed scheme.

description: Parametric resonance has been discussed as a mechanism for copious particle production following inflation. Here we present a simple and intuitive calculational method for estimating the efficiency of parametric amplification as a function of parameters. This is important for determining whether resonant amplification plays an important role in the reheating process. We find that significant amplification occurs only for a limited range of couplings and interactions.

description: We present VLT-SINFONI near infra-red spectra of 26 new heavily reddened quasar candidates selected from the UKIDSS-LAS, VISTA VHS and VIKING imaging surveys. This new sample extends our reddened quasar search to both brighter and fainter luminosities. 25 of the 26 candidates are confirmed to be broad line quasars with redshifts $0.72$. We present the first comparison of the [OIII] line properties in high luminosity obscured quasars to a large sample of 111 unobscured quasars in the same luminosity and redshift range. Broad wings extending to velocities of 2500 km/s are seen in the [OIII] emission line profiles of our reddened quasars, suggesting that strong outflows are affecting the ionised gas kinematics. However, we find no significant difference between the kinematics of the [OIII] emission in reddened and unobscured quasars when the two samples are matched in luminosity and redshift. Our results are consistent with a model where quasar-driven outflows persist for some time after the obscuring dust has been cleared from along the line of sight. Assuming the amount of ionised gas in obscured and unobscured quasars is similar, we use the equivalent width distribution of the [OIII] emission to constrain the location of the obscuring dust in our reddened quasars. We find that the dust is most likely to be located on galactic scales, outside the [OIII] emitting region.

description: In this paper we discuss recent progress in using the Camassa-Holm equations to model turbulent flows. The Camassa-Holm equations, given their special geometric and physical properties, appear particularly well suited for studying turbulent flows. We identify the steady solution of the Camassa-Holm equation with the mean flow of the Reynolds equation and compare the results with empirical data for turbulent flows in channels and pipes. The data suggests that the constant $α$ version of the Camassa-Holm equations, derived under the assumptions that the fluctuation statistics are isotropic and homogeneous, holds to order $α$ distance from the boundaries. Near a boundary, these assumptions are no longer valid and the length scale $α$ is seen to depend on the distance to the nearest wall. Thus, a turbulent flow is divided into two regions: the constant $α$ region away from boundaries, and the near wall region. In the near wall region, Reynolds number scaling conditions imply that $α$ decreases as Reynolds number increases. Away from boundaries, these scaling conditions imply $α$ is independent of Reynolds number. Given the agreement with empirical and numerical data, our current work indicates that the Camassa-Holm equations provide a promising theoretical framework from which to understand some turbulent flows.

This is in contrast with previous numerical studies, but in agreement with experimental results. In this system, we have found a rich dynamical behavior with an unusual route to chaos. In the three-block system, we see the appearance of synchronized chaos, showing that this concept can have potential applications in the field of seismology.

description: We reconstruct the neutrino mass matrix in flavor basis, in the case of inverted mass hierarchy (ordering), using all available experimental data on neutrino masses and oscillations. We analyze the dependence of the matrix elements m_{alpha beta} on the CP violating Dirac, delta, and Majorana, rho and sigma, phases, for different values of the absolute mass scale. We find that the present data admit various structures of the mass matrix: (i) hierarchical structures with a set of small (zero) elements; (ii) structures with equalities among various groups of elements: e-row and/or mu tau-block elements, diagonal and/or off-diagonal elements; (iii) ``democratic'' structure. We find values of phases for which these structures are realized. The mass matrix elements can anti-correlate with flavor: inverted partial or complete flavor alignment is possible. For various structures of the mass matrix we identify possible underlying symmetry. We find that the mass matrix can be reconstructed completely only in particular cases, provided that the absolute scale of the mass is measured. Generally, the freedom related to the Majorana phase sigma will not be removed, thus admitting various types of mass matrix.

description: Motion of a non-relativistic particle on a cone with a magnetic flux running through the cone axis (a ``flux cone'') is studied. It is expressed as the motion of a particle moving on the Euclidean plane under the action of a velocity-dependent force. Probability fluid (``quantum flow'') associated with a particular stationary state is studied close to the singularity, demonstrating non trivial Aharonov-Bohm effects. For example, it is shown that near the singularity quantum flow departs from classical flow. In the context of the hydrodynamical approach to quantum mechanics, quantum potential due to the conical singularity is determined and the way it affects quantum flow is analysed. It is shown that the winding number of classical orbits plays a role in the description of the quantum flow. Connectivity of the configuration space is also discussed.

description: We present a method based on mutations of helices which leads to the construction (in the large volume limit) of exceptional coherent sheaves associated with the $(\sum_al_a=0)$ orbits in Gepner models. This is explicitly verified for a few examples including some cases where the ambient weighted projective space has singularities not inherited by the Calabi-Yau hypersurface. The method is based on two conjectures which lead to the analog,in the general case, of the Beilinson quiver for $\BP^n$. We discuss how one recovers the McKay quiver using the gauged linear sigma model (GLSM) near the orbifold or Gepner point in Kähler moduli space.

description: We consider a finite chain of non-linear oscillators coupled at its ends to two infinite heat baths which are at different temperatures. Using our earlier results about the existence of a stationary state, we show rigorously that for arbitrary temperature differences and arbitrary couplings, such a system has a unique stationary state. (This extends our earlier results for small temperature differences.) In all these cases, any initial state will converge (at an unknown rate) to the stationary state. We show that this stationary state continually produces entropy. The rate of entropy production is strictly negative when the temperatures are unequal and is proportional to the mean energy flux through the system.

description: Quasar outflows are fundamental components of quasar environments that might play an important role in feedback to galaxy evolution. We report on the emergence of a remarkable new outflow absorption-line system in the quasar PG1411+442 (redshift ~0.089) detected in the UV and visible with the Hubble Space Telescope Cosmic Origins Spectrograph and the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph, respectively. This new "transient'' system contains thousands of lines, including FeII and FeII* from excited states up to 3.89 eV, HI* Balmer lines, NaI D 5890,5896, and the first detection of HeI* 5876 in a quasar. The transient absorber is spatially inhomogeneous and compact, with sizes ~<0.003 pc, based on covering fractions on the quasar continuum source ranging from ~0.45 in strong UV lines to ~0.04 in NaI D. Cloudy photoionization simulations show that large total column densities log N_H(cm^-2) >~ 23.4 and an intense radiation field ~<0.4~pc from the quasar are needed to produce the observed lines in thick zones of both fully-ionised and partially-ionised gas. The densities are conservatively log n_H(cm-3) >~ 7 based on FeII*, HI*, and HeI* but they might reach log n_H(cm^-3) >~ 10 based on NaI D. The transient lines appear at roughly the same velocity shift, v ~ -1900 km/s, as a "mini-BAL'' outflow detected previously, but with narrower Doppler widths, b ~ 100 km/s, and larger column densities in more compact outflow structures. We propose that the transient lines identify a clumpy outflow from the broad emission-line region that, at its current speed and location, is still gravitationally bound to the central black hole.

description: The Historic Monuments Commission of Quebec declared Old Montreal an historic district in 1964 but that was hardly the beginning or the end of its preservation. This thesis explores what it meant for Old Montreal to be preserved and the long process whereby that happened. Specifically it proposes that there were three general ways that the place was understood as something to keep: as an historic monument, as cultural property, and as a heritage space. While they are roughly embodied in the three versions of preservation law in Quebec and informed by international preservation discourse, each had its own players, its own important sites, and its own political agenda specific to the district. Moreover, each had its own methodology of preservation. Having brought us up more or less to the present day, this thesis concludes by speculating on the challenges that will face the district's preservation as the current paradigm develops.

description: The potential energy landscape (PEL) formalism is a statistical mechanical approach to describe supercooled liquids and glasses. Here we use the PEL formalism to study the pressure-induced transformations between low-density amorphous ice (LDA) and high-density amorphous ice (HDA) using computer simulations of the TIP4P/2005 molecular model of water. We find that the properties of the PEL sampled by the system during the LDA-HDA transformation exhibit anomalous behavior. In particular, at conditions where the change in density during the LDA-HDA transformation is approximately discontinuous, reminiscent of a first-order phase transition, we find that (i) the inherent structure (IS) energy, $e_\text{IS}(V)$, is a concave function of the volume, and (ii) the IS pressure, $P_\text{IS}(V)$, exhibits a van der Waals-like loop. In addition, the curvature of the PEL at the IS is anomalous, a non-monotonic function of $V$. In agreement with previous studies, our work suggests that conditions (i) and (ii) are necessary (but not sufficient) signatures of the PEL for the LDA-HDA transformation to be reminiscent of a first-order phase transition. We also find that one can identify two different regions of the PEL, one associated to LDA and another to HDA. Our computer simulations are performed using a wide range of compression/decompression and cooling rates. In particular, our slowest cooling rate (0.01 K/ns) is within the experimental rates employed in hyperquenching experiments to produce LDA. Interestingly, the LDA-HDA transformation pressure that we obtain at $T=80$ K and at different rates extrapolates remarkably well to the corresponding experimental pressure.

The Perceived Authenticity of Fairness at Work

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2015
Subjects: Social psychology

Management

description: The purpose of this study is to understand how individuals form perceptions of authenticity about their leaders and the subsequent organizational outcomes associated with these perceptions. To date, studies on leader authenticity have primarily focused on how a leader can become more authentic by first getting in touch with his or her internal values and then by choosing behaviors to enact these values. As such, the literature has clarified leader authenticity on an individual level, but does not explain how others come to perceive a leader as authentic. To this end, an experiment will be completed to investigate leader authenticity from the point-of-view of the “recipients” of a leader’s behavior. In particular, the focus will be on individuals’ perceptions of a leader’s enactment of procedural fairness by inviting voice during a promotion decision. A new model of perceived authenticity will be tested by determining how two types of interpersonal perceptions—volitionality and intentionality—influence perceptions of authenticity and related outcomes.

description: Given $n\geq 3$, consider the critical elliptic equation $Δu + u^{2^*-1}=0$ in $\mathbb R^n$ with $u > 0$. This equation corresponds to the Euler-Lagrange equation induced by the Sobolev embedding $H^1(\mathbb R^n)\hookrightarrow L^{2^*}(\mathbb R^n)$, and it is well-known that the solutions are uniquely characterized and are given by the so-called ``Talenti bubbles''. In addition, thanks to a fundamental result by Struwe, this statement is ``stable up to bubbling'': if $u:\mathbb R^n\to(0,\infty)$ almost solves $Δu + u^{2^*-1}=0$ then $u$ is (nonquantitatively) close in the $H^1(\mathbb R^n)$-norm to a sum of weakly-interacting Talenti bubbles. More precisely, if $δ(u)$ denotes the $H^1(\mathbb R^n)$-distance of $u$ from the manifold of sums of Talenti bubbles, Struwe proved that $δ(u)\to 0$ as $\lVertΔu + u^{2^*-1}\rVert_{H^{-1}}\to 0$. In this paper we investigate the validity of a sharp quantitative version of the stability for critical points: more precisely, we ask whether under a bound on the energy $\lVert\nabla u\rVert_{L^2}$ (that controls the number of bubbles) it holds $δ(u) \lesssim \lVertΔu + u^{2^*-1}\rVert_{H^{-1}}$. A recent paper by the first author together with Ciraolo and Maggi shows that the above result is true if $u$ is close to only one bubble. Here we prove, to our surprise, that whenever there are at least two bubbles then the estimate above is true for $3\le n\le 5$ while it is false for $n\ge 6$. To our knowledge, this is the first situation where quantitative stability estimates depend so strikingly on the dimension of the space, changing completely behavior for some particular value of the dimension $n$.

description: We study the quantum evolution of black holes immersed in a de Sitter background space. For black holes whose size is comparable to that of the cosmological horizon, this process differs significantly from the evaporation of asymptotically flat black holes. Our model includes the one-loop effective action in the s-wave and large N approximation. Black holes of the maximal mass are in equilibrium. Unexpectedly, we find that nearly maximal quantum Schwarzschild-de Sitter black holes anti-evaporate. However, there is a different perturbative mode that leads to evaporation. We show that this mode will always be excited when a pair of cosmological holes nucleates.

description: Im Jahre 2012 (doch ausgewiesen für 2013) erschien die völlige Neubearbeitung des Wünsche/Schorler: „Die Pflanzen Sachsens“ (Hrsg. FLÖßNER et al. 1956) unter den neuen Namen „Die Flora Sachsens und der angrenzenden Gebiete“ (Hrsg. GUTTE et al. 2013). Dieses Buch ist ein Gemeinschaftswerk mehrerer (meist) sächsischer Botaniker und enthält das gegenwärtige Wissen über die Verbreitung sächsischer Pflanzen, aufgeführt nach den sächsischen Naturräumen. Insgesamt werden mehr als 3600 Sippen (Arten, „Kleinarten“, Subspezies, Nothosubspezies, Bastarde, Varietäten, selten auch Formen) verschlüsselt oder erwähnt. Außer den in Florenwerken üblichen Angaben zu Größe der Pflanze, Blütezeit, Lebensform und Status werden die Arten synsoziologisch zugeordnet, (meist) die Florenele-mente beigefügt sowie (falls nötig) Hinweise zur Giftigkeit und Nutzen erwähnt. Besonderen Wert wurde entspre-chend der Tradition des Wünsche/Schorler auf die Einarbeitung zahlreicher Neophyten und häufiger Kultur- und Zierpflanzen gelegt. Bei der Auswahl der aufgenommenen Neophyten sind Einzelfunde aus länger zurückliegenden Jahren eher weggelassen worden als solche, deren Nachweis erst in den letzten Jahren gelang. Insgesamt sind über 890 neophytische Sippen in der Flora enthalten, darunter 281 eingebürgerte und 609 nicht eingebürgerte Arten. Unter den Neophyten ist der hohe Anteil der verwilderten Zierpflanzen (41,7 %, davon 10,5 % eingebürgert) auffallend.

description: This thesis contributes to the body of knowledge about the performance of sandstone consolidants in North America. A sandstone consolidant in use in Europe was tested alongside a consolidant in use in North America. Based on laboratory testing of sample stone treated with the two consolidants, this thesis analyzes the performance of the consolidants in comparison to one another. Establishing the important performance characteristics of a successful sandstone consolidant and identifying the characteristics of the three Berea sandstones, and the two consolidants being tested, allows for an analytical performance of these materials. Controlled environmental stress cycling in the laboratory exposed the consolidated stone to conditions approximating those in the field. Comparing the maximum biaxial flexural strength of the stone samples, showed that the two consolidants show comparable performance, in consolidating each of the three sandstones.

description: We consider an O(N) model coupled self-consistently to gravity in the semiclassical approximation, where the field is subject to `new inflation' type initial conditions. We study the dynamics self-consistently and non-perturbatively with non-equilibrium field theory methods in the large N limit. We find that spinodal instabilities drive the growth of non-perturbatively large quantum fluctuations which shut off the inflationary growth of the scale factor. We find that a very specific combination of these large fluctuations plus the inflaton zero mode assemble into a new effective field. This new field behaves classically and it is the object which actually rolls down. We show how this reinterpretation saves the standard picture of how metric perturbations are generated during inflation and that the spinodal growth of fluctuations dominates the time dependence of the Bardeen variable for superhorizon modes during inflation. We compute the amplitude and index for the spectrum of scalar density and tensor perturbations and argue that in all models of this type the spinodal instabilities are responsible for a `red' spectrum of primordial scalar density perturbations. A criterion for the validity of these models is provided and contact with the reconstruction program is established validating some of the results within a non-perturbative framework. The decoherence aspects and the quantum to classical transition through inflation are studied in detail by following the full evolution of the density matrix and relating the classicality of cosmological perturbations to that of long-wavelength matter fluctuations.

description: We measure the dispersion of the Cu-O bond-stretching phonon mode in the high-temperature superconducting parent compound Ca$_2$CuO$_2$Cl$_2$. Our density functional theory calculations predict a cosine-shaped bending of the dispersion along both the ($ξ$00) and ($ξξ$0) directions, while comparison with previous results on Ca$_{1.84}$CuO$_2$Cl$_2$ show it only along ($ξ$00), suggesting an anisotropic effect which is not reproduced in calculation at optimal doping. Comparison with isostructural La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ suggests that these calculations reproduce well the overdoped regime, however they overestimate the doping effect on the Cu-O bond-stretching mode at optimal doping.
Can the Mechanism for $π_1\to ηπ,η'π$ Hybrid Decays be Detected?

description: Two mechanisms for the $π_1$ ($J^{PC}=1^{-+}$) hybrid meson decay processes $π_1\toηπ,η'π$ are investigated. These mechanisms are applied to $ϕ\toηγ,η'γ$ and $J/ψ\toηγ,η'γ$ decays to illustrate the validity of the decay mechanisms and to obtain independent information on the coupling of $η,η'$ to quark and gluonic operators. From this information, we find that $Γ(π_1\toηπ)/Γ(π_1\toη'π)$ is substantially different in the two decay mechanisms, and hence future experimental measurements of this ratio will provide valuable information for substantiating the hybrid nature of these states and for determining the mechanism for these hybrid decays.

description: Thermodynamic properties of systems with repulsive interactions, are considered in the grand canonical ensemble. The analytic structure of the excluded-volume model in the complex plane of the system chemical potential (fugacity) is elaborated, based on the fact that the pressure function can be given in terms of the Lambert W-function. Even though the excluded volume model has no phase transitions at real values of the chemical potential, it does exhibit a branch cut singularity in the complex plane, thus limiting the convergence range of the Taylor expansion in the chemical potential. Close similarities to analytic properties of the other models with repulsive interactions, such as a cluster expansion model, the mean-field model, and the ideal Fermi gas model, are pointed out. As an example, repulsive baryonic interactions in a hadron gas, with a focus on the fugacity/virial and Taylor expansion methods used in lattice QCD, are presented. The asymptotic behavior of the Fourier expansion coefficients in these various models suggests that the singular part of net baryonic density can to leading order be universally expressed in terms of polylogarithms.
