description: A sample of low-mass H$α$ emission line sources (ELS) at $z\,\sim\,0.4$ was studied in the context of the mass-metallicty relation (MZR) and its possible evolution. We drew our sample from the OSIRIS Tunable Emission Line Object (OTELO) survey, which exploits the red tunable filter of OSIRIS at the Gran Telescopio Canarias to perform a blind narrow-band spectral scan in a selected field of the Extended Groth Strip. We were able to directly measure emission line fluxes and equivalent widths from the analysis of OTELO pseudo-spectra. This study aims to explore the MZR in the very low-mass regime. Our sample reaches stellar masses ($M_*$) as low as $10^{6.8}\,M_\odot$, where 63\% of the sample have $M_*\,<10^9\,M_\odot$. We also explore the relation of the star formation rate (SFR) and specific SFR (sSFR) with $M_*$ and gas-phase oxygen abundances, as well as the $M_*$-size relation and the morphological classification. The $M_*$ were estimated using synthetic rest-frame colours. Using an $χ^2$ minimization method, we separated the contribution of \Nii$λ$6583 to the H$α$ emission lines. Using the N2 index, we separated active galactic nuclei from star-forming galaxies (SFGs) and estimated the gas metallicity. We studied the morphology of the sampled galaxies qualitatively (visually) and quantitatively (automatically) using high-resolution data from the \textit{Hubble Space Telescope}-ACS. The physical size of the galaxies was derived from the morphological analysis using \texttt{GALAPAGOS2/GALFIT}, where we fit a single-Sérsic 2D model to each source.

description: In the wet season cabbages were grown with and without bagasse mulch and with four différent bed layouts to improve drainage. The bed layouts were Raised- Flat Beds, Cambered Beds, Single-Row Ridges and Double-Row Ridges. Mulching increased average cabbage head weight and total marketable yield on Raised- Flat Beds and on Cambered Beds but the différences were not significant. Ridges produced better yields than Fiat or Catiibered Beds but the différences were not. statist ca ly significant. In the dry season the yield of cabbage was studied with and without mulches and irrigation. Four mulch matériels (bagasse, bay leaves, coffe^i^d drygrassl and two irrigation levels (irrigation at 3 and 7 day intervais) were used. Both irrigation and mulching significantly (P = 0.01) increased plant qrowth and yield above the control. There was no significant différence between two levels of irrigation and coffee husk gave the highest yield.

title: Patterns of geochemical change in north Basin and Range volcanic rocks
Creators: name: Lees, Kate R
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1995

description: In the NW US backarc region three tectomagmatic provinces are recognized: 17--14 Ma plume-related Columbia River Basalts (CRB); Basin Range (B R) bimodal rocks related to mid-Miocene E-W extension; and Olivine Basalts related to late Miocene-Pliocene, NW-SE, dextral strike-slip extension. The Vale study area is situated at the head of the NW Snake River Plain (SRP) where these provinces overlap. Their stratigraphic relationships, relative volumes and compositional differences demonstrate that the onset of each new tectonic phase produces a distinct magmatic suite. The CRB-type '' basalts are voluminous ([approximately] 400 km[sup 3]) and their early flows show flat spidergram patterns and low Ce/Nb ratios (< 2.75) similar to asthenospheric melts derived from a plume. Subsequent flows (basaltic andesites) have higher incompatible element contents and negative Nb anomalies, indicating that they were largely derived from mantle lithosphere sources. Voluminous tuffs and rhyolites ([approximately] 500 km[sup 3]) appear to mark the onset of B R extension-related magmatism at 15 Ma. The associated basalts'' are small volume occurrences ([approximately] 10 km[sup 3]) of basalts to high-alumina andesites (14.5--8 Ma), which also have geochemical signatures consistent with source regions in the continental mantle lithosphere. The observed chemical changes from asthenosphere to lithosphere, then back to asthenosphere with time, are interpreted in a model where early magmatism is plume-related, but all post-15 Ma magmatism is simply related to lithospheric extension.

description: The scaling invariance for chaotic orbits near a transition from unlimited to limited diffusion in a dissipative standard mapping is explained via the analytical solution of the diffusion equation. It gives the probability of observing a particle with a specific action at a given time. We show the diffusion coefficient varies slowly with the time and is responsible to suppress the unlimited diffusion. The momenta of the probability are determined and the behavior of the average squared action is obtained. The limits of small and large time recover the results known in the literature from the phenomenological approach and, as a bonus, a scaling for intermediate time is obtained as dependent on the initial action. The formalism presented is robust enough and can be applied in a variety of other systems including time dependent billiards near a transition from limited to unlimited Fermi acceleration as we show at the end of the letter and in many other systems under the presence of dissipation as well as near a transition from integrability to non integrability.

description: Muon spin spectroscopy has been used to study in detail the onset of large-moment antiferromagnetism (LMAF) in UPt_{3} as induced by Th substitution. Zero-field experiments have been carried out on a series of polycrystalline U_{1-x}Th_{x}Pt_{3} (0 <= x <= 0.05) samples in the temperature range 0.04 - 10 K. At low Th content (x <= 0.002) magnetic ordering on the time scale of the uSR experiment (10^{-8} s) is not detected. For x = 0.005 a weak magnetic signal appears below T = 2 K, while for 0.006 <= x <= 0.05, spontaneous oscillations in the uSR spectra signal the presence of the LMAF phase. The data are well described by a two-component depolarization function, combining the contribution of a polycrystalline antiferromagnet and a Kubo-Lorentzian response. However, the transition into the antiferromagnetic phase is quite broad. For x = 0.01 and 0.02, a weak magnetic signal appears below about 7 K, which is well above the mean-field transition temperatures. The broadening may be a result of the effects of disorder on the time fluctuations associated with anomalous small-moment antiferromagnetism.

description: In this paper we develop an approach for detecting entanglement, which is based on measuring quantum correlations and constructing a correlation matrix. The correlation matrix is then used for defining a family of parameters, named Correlation Minor Norms, which allow one to detect entanglement. This approach generalizes the computable cross-norm or realignment (CCNR) criterion, and moreover requires measuring a state-independent set of operators. Furthermore, we illustrate a scheme which yields for each Correlation Minor Norm a separable state that maximizes it. The proposed entanglement detection scheme is believed to be advantageous in comparison to other methods because correlations have a simple, intuitive meaning and in addition they can be directly measured in experiment. Moreover, it is demonstrated to be stronger than the CCNR criterion. We also illustrate the relation between the Correlation Minor Norm and entanglement entropy for pure states. Finally, we discuss the relation between the Correlation Minor Norm and quantum discord. We demonstrate that the CMN may be used to define a new measure for quantum discord.

The Cedar project : exploring the HIV vulnerabilities of young aboriginal women in two Canadian cities
Creators: name: Mehrabadi, Azar
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Background: International attention has been drawn to the physical and emotional violence faced by Aboriginal women in Canada. Vulnerability to HIV and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection for Indigenous populations must be contextualized in experiences of current and past trauma from the displacement of families through colonization, the residential school system and child apprehensions. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare sociodemographics, drug use patterns, injection practices, sexual experiences, and HIV and HCV prevalence between young Aboriginal men and women using illegal drugs in two urban settings. A further comparison is made among young Aboriginal women using illegal drugs to compare women who were involved in recent sex work (in the last six months) versus women who were not. Methods: In a community-based sample of urban Canadian Aboriginal young people (status and non-status First Nations, Inuit and Metis) who reported using street drugs in the past month, 262 female participants were compared with 281 male participants with respect to sociodemographic characteristics, experiences of trauma, sexual risk variables, and drug use patterns. Participants were invited who were between the ages of 14 and 30 years and lived in either Vancouver or Prince George, Canada, and were recruited through word of mouth, posters, and by street outreach. Between October 2003 and July 11 2005, young people in the study completed a questionnaire administered by Aboriginal interviewers. Trained nurses drew blood samples for HIV and HCV antibodies and provided pre- and post-test counseling. Results: Prevalence of HIV and HCV were significantly higher among young Aboriginal women as compared to Aboriginal men. When the analysis was restricted to young people who reported injection drug use, HIV and HCV prevalence was still significantly higher among women. Multivariate analysis revealed daily injection of cocaine and smoking crack in the previous six months, and lifetime sexual abuse to be independently associated with recent sex work involvement among women. Conclusions: Young Aboriginal women using illegal drugs are experiencing increased prevalence of HIV and HCV infection, harmful injection patterns and increased sex work and sexual abuse. Women involved in sex work are experiencing increased frequent injection and non-injection drug use and sexual abuse. Harm reduction programs that are gender specific and that address historical and individual trauma are urgently required.

description: In quasi two-dimensional (2D) hole systems with an effective spin j=3/2, heavy hole-light hole splitting results in a quantization of angular momentum perpendicular to the 2D plane. The spin polarization of quasi 2D hole systems due to an in-plane magnetic field B thus competes with the heavy hole-light hole splitting. As a result, the spin polarization of hole systems is very different from the spin polarization of j=1/2 electron systems. In particular, it is shown that the spin polarization of quasi 2D heavy hole systems can change its sign at a finite value of B.

description: The derivation of kinetic equation for one-particle distribution function $F(p,r,t)$ from BBGKY chain leads to the collision integral expressed in terms of the two-particle correlation function. The latter is in turn expressed by $F$ using Boltzmann's Stosszahlansatz that implies the neglect of initial one-time correlation function $g2(p1,p2,r,t)$ which is non-diagonal in the momentum space. However, it has been established in non-equilibrium case that pair collisions generate the non-diagonal two-particle correlations that give the essential contribution to the current fluctuations of hot electrons. These correlations have been shown giving also a contribution to the collision integrals, i.e., to kinetic properties of nonequilibrium gas. The expression for electron energy loss rate $P$ via phonons is re-derived in detail from this point of view. The order of value of the new term in $P$ in the cases of acoustic- and optical-phonon scattering is evaluated in the electron temperature approximation using the experimental study of hot-electron energy relaxation time in $n-InSb$ at helium temperatures.

description: We show that the space of algebraic covariant derivative curvature tensors R' is generated by Young symmetrized tensor products W*U or U*W, where W and U are covariant tensors of order 2 and 3 whose symmetry classes are irreducible and characterized by the following pairs of partitions: {(2),(3)}, {(2),(2 1)} or {(1 1),(2 1)}. Each of the partitions (2), (3) and (1 1) describes exactly one symmetry class, whereas the partition (2 1) characterizes an infinite set S of irreducible symmetry classes. This set S contains exactly one symmetry class S_0 whose elements U can not play the role of generators of tensors R'. The tensors U of all other symmetry classes from S\{S_0} can be used as generators for tensors R'. Foundation of our investigations is a theorem of S. A. Fulling, R. C. King, B. G. Wybourne and C. J. Cummins about a Young symmetrizer that generates the symmetry class of algebraic covariant derivative curvature tensors. Furthermore we apply ideals and idempotents in group rings C[Sr], the Littlewood-Richardson rule and discrete Fourier transforms for symmetric groups Sr. For certain symbolic calculations we used the Mathematica packages Ricci and PERMS.

title: Alienation and educational inclusion : a mixed methods study of teaching and learning with contemporary art in the Level 1 university curriculum
Creators: name: Perryman, Leigh-Anne
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2011

description: UNESCO (2006b) proclaims that' Arts Education is a universal human right'. However, art educators have observed that Western visual arts education is still dominated by a culturally exclusive canon of artworks which some students find alienating and irrelevant. Calls to abandon the canon in the name of inclusion have been made by school arts educators and research in secondary schools has shown that including contemporary art in the curriculum can empower and engage learners. However, inclusive visual arts curriculum development in higher education is infrequently explored.

This thesis is intended to address such imbalance. It reports the findings of a mixed methods study exploring the impact of adults' affective and cognitive responses to art on their learning. A questionnaire and interviews were used to gather information about Open University undergraduates' responses to contemporary and non-contemporary artworks and their experiences of studying a visual arts module featuring meta-cognitive scaffolding and guided reflection. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the data indicated that while the Western canon has the power to exclude, replacing canonical works with contemporary art is not a 'one size fits all' solution to achieving educational inclusion. Rather, it appears there is an age and experience-related divide in adults' affective and cognitive responses to art. Younger, and art-trained adults often relish studying provocative, emotionally potent and offensive contemporary artworks, especially works addressing topics they feel are personally relevant. In contrast, some older adults' cynical preconceptions about contemporary art's unworthiness for serious study, and preferences for visually pleasing, inoffensive artworks, can prevent productive engagement with contemporary art. However, the study findings suggest that meta-cognitive scaffolding can offer a structure within which students can reflect on and make sense of their responses to contemporary art, while also developing the skills to interpret works with unstable and controversial meanings.
Higher Order Derivatives of Quantum Neural Networks with Barren Plateaus

description: Quantum neural networks (QNNs) offer a powerful paradigm for programming near-term quantum computers and have the potential to speedup applications ranging from data science to chemistry to materials science. However, a possible obstacle to realizing that speedup is the Barren Plateau (BP) phenomenon, whereby the gradient vanishes exponentially in the system size $n$ for certain QNN architectures. The question of whether high-order derivative information such as the Hessian could help escape a BP was recently posed in the literature. Here we show that the elements of the Hessian are exponentially suppressed in a BP, so estimating the Hessian in this situation would require a precision that scales exponentially with $n$. Hence, Hessian-based approaches do not circumvent the exponential scaling associated with BPs. We also show the exponential suppression of higher order derivatives. Hence, BPs will impact optimization strategies that go beyond (first-order) gradient descent. In deriving our results, we prove novel, general formulas that can be used to analytically evaluate any high-order partial derivative on quantum hardware. These formulas will likely have independent interest and use for training quantum neural networks (outside of the context of BPs).

description: We present first-principles calculations of the magnetic hyperfine fields H of 5sp impurities on the (001), (111), and (110) surfaces of Ni. We examine the dependence of H on the coordination number by placing the impurity in the surfaces, on top of them at the adatom positions, and in the bulk. We find a strong coordination dependence of H, different and characteristic for each impurity. The behavior is explained in terms of the on-site s-p hybridization as the symmetry is reduced at the surface. Our results are in agreement with recent experimental findings.

description: Questo volume nasce da una duplice convinzione. In primo luogo, crediamo che la didattica della lingua, come quella di altri ambiti, non possa che trarre beneficio dalla ricerca, dall’applicazione di specifiche cornici teoriche entro le quali raccogliere, quantificare, osservare e analizzare i vari dati linguistici per trarre delle conclusioni da poter auspicabilmente generalizzare o almeno confrontare con altre. La seconda convinzione che ci ha spinto a raccogliere i contributi ospitati in questo volume è la necessità di collegare il caso del cinese a quello di altre lingue, di applicare alla ricerca sulla didattica e acquisizione del cinese cornici teoriche anche elaborate sulla base di altre lingue con le dovute rimodulazioni.

title: Investigating and Managing Design Margins throughout the Product Development Process

description: The automotive industry, like other sectors, faces a number of technological challenges in terms of meeting different legislations and developing products highly customised with a short lead time. They also have to manage the trade-offs between the price for the customer and the overall cost of the product development. This thesis argues that design margins are a decisive factor with regard to many trade-offs that engineers may wish to make. These margins represent room for manoeuvre in the developing design. On the other hand, design margins allow engineers to accommodate new requirements without leading to costly engineering changes. If a change becomes necessary, the engineers might modify parameters where there are still margins with respect to the new requirements. Therefore engineers can avoid major redesigns to their existing components and systems. Ultimately this has the potential to enable control of the resulting development time and cost. While margins are an intuitive concept, no clear and consistent definitions exist. The concept is relatively under-investigated area of design research. A comprehensive literature review and an empirical study at Volvo Global Truck Technology, emphasised the main issues and showed that there is a strong industrial need for support with margins, especially to understand how margins shape the design process. The concept of design margins, consisting of buffer and excess is developed. The key to managing product development is the transition from buffer to excess throughout the design process. This gives designers and engineers a rich way to express and communicate information about the forthcoming design to other team members, other teams and suppliers. The thesis proposes a conceptual framework to investigate and capture design margins. The overall model indicates that a clear elicitation and an explicit documentation of design margins can help decision makers implement more efficiently the necessary changes involved in product development: design margins are seen as a critical aspect of product design and development

Adaptive likelihood weights and mixtures of empirical distributions
Creators: name: Plante, Jean-François
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Suppose that you must make inference about a population, but that data from m -1 similar populations are available. The weighted likelihood uses exponential weights to include all the available information into the inference. The contribution of each datum is discounted based on its dissimilarity with the target distribution. One could hope to elicitate the likelihood weights from scientific information, but using data-based weights is more pragmatic. To this day, no entirely satisfactory method has been found for determining likelihood weights from the data. We propose a way to determine the likelihood weights based on data. The suggested "MAMSE" weights are nonparametric and can be used as likelihood weights, or as mixing probabilities to define a mixture of empirical distributions. In both cases, using the MAMSE weights allows strength to be borrowed from the m -1 similar populations whose distribution may differ from the target. The MAMSE weights are defined for different types of data: univariate, censored and multivariate. In addition to their role for the likelihood, the MAMSE weights are used to define a weighted Kaplan-Meier estimate of the survival distribution and weighted co-efficients of correlation based on ranks. The maximum weighted pseudo-likelihood, a new method to fit a family of copulas, is also proposed. All these examples of inference using the MAMSE weights are shown to be asymptotically unbiased. Furthermore, simulations show that inference based on MAMSE-weighted methods can perform better than their unweighted counterparts. Hence, the adaptive weights we propose successfully trade bias for precision.

description: Intersecting M-branes are known to describe multi charged black holes. Using a configuration of such intersecting branes and antibranes, together with massless excitations living on them, we give a description of Schwarzschild black holes following Danielsson, Guijosa, and Kruczenski. We calculate the entropy of these black holes and find that it agrees, upto a numerical factor, with the entropy of the corresponding Schwarzschild black holes in supergravity approximation. We give an empirical interpretation of this factor.

description: The paper develops the dynamics and thermodynamics of Stirling engines that run with temperature differences below 100 0C. The working gas pressure is analytically expressed using an alternative thermodynamic cycle. The shaft dynamics is studied using its rotational equation of motion. It is found that the initial volumes of the cold and hot working gas play a non-negligible role in the functioning of the engine.

description: Through time-series CCD photometry of the globular cluster NGC 5466, we have detected nine SX Phoenicis stars including three new ones. All the SX Phoenicis stars are located in the blue straggler region in the color-magnitude diagram of NGC 5466. Five of them show clearly double-radial mode features, the periods of which are well consistent with the theoretical ratio of the first overtone mode to the fundamental mode (P$_{1H}$/P$_F$). Normally, it has not been easy to secure a P-L relation of the SX Phoenicis stars, because determination of the pulsational mode of the SX Phoenicis stars has been difficult. The existence of five SX Phoenicis stars in NGC5466 with double-radial modes allows us to derive reliably a P-L relation for the fundamental mode of the SX Phoenicis stars. Using seven SX Phoenicis stars including five stars with double-radial modes, we derive a P-L relation for the fundamental mode in NGC 5466, $ = - 3.25 (\pm 0.46) Log P + 14.70 (\pm 0.06), (σ= \pm0.04) $, corresponding to $ = - 3.25 (\pm0.46)Log P - 1.30 (\pm0.06) $ for an adopted distance modulus of $(m-M)_0=16.00$ and zero reddening.

Dependence of inclusive jet production on the anti-$k_\mathrm{T}$ distance parameter in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV

description: The dependence of inclusive jet production in proton-proton collisions with a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV on the distance parameter $R$ of the anti-$k_\mathrm{T}$ algorithm is studied using data corresponding to integrated luminosities up to 35.9 fb$^{-1}$ collected by the CMS experiment in 2016. The ratios of the inclusive cross sections as functions of transverse momentum $p_\mathrm{T}$ and rapidity $y$, for $R$ in the range 0.1 to 1.2 to those using $R = $ 0.4 are presented in the region 84 $\lt$ $p_\mathrm{T}$ $\lt$ 1588 GeV and $|y|$ $\lt$ 2.0. The results are compared to calculations at leading and next-to-leading order in the strong coupling constant using different parton shower models. The variation of the ratio of cross sections with $R$ is well described by calculations including a parton shower model, but not by a leading-order quantum chromodynamics calculation including nonperturbative effects. The agreement between the data and the theoretical predictions for the ratios of cross sections is significantly improved when next-to-leading order calculations with nonperturbative effects are used.

description: In preparation for the COROT space mission, we determined the fundamental parameters (spectral type, temperature, gravity, vsini) of the Be stars observable by COROT in its seismology fields (64 Be stars). We applied a careful and detailed modeling of the stellar spectra, taking into account the veiling caused by the envelope, as well as the gravitational darkening and stellar flattening due to rapid rotation. Evolutionary tracks for fast rotators were used to derive stellar masses and ages. The derived parameters will be used to select Be stars as secondary targets (i.e. observed for 5 consecutive months) and short-run targets of the COROT mission. Furthermore, we note that the main part of our stellar sample is falling in the second half of the main sequence life time, and that in most cases the luminosity class of Be stars is inaccurate in characterizing their evolutionary status.

title:  Dire quasi la stessa cosa: l’apprendimento dei sinonimi in cinese come lingua straniera

description: Se la centralità del lessico nella comunicazione verbale è difficilmente opinabile, appare altrettanto cruciale il ruolo che esso svolge nell’apprendimento della seconda lingua, tanto che la competenza lessicale è comunemente ritenuta un buon indicatore del livello linguistico raggiunto. Tra le criticità nell’apprendimento del lessico cinese quella dell’uso dei sinonimi è avvertita sin dall’inizio dello studio della lingua, da quando gli apprendenti iniziano a confrontarsi con unità lessicali caratterizzate da alta frequenza d’uso che significano ‘quasi la stessa cosa’ ma che, a ben vedere, presentano contesti d’uso specifici, funzioni sintattiche proprie e a volte anche classi lessicali diverse. È spesso il ricorso alla L1, inevitabile nel contesto dell’istruzione guidata del cinese come lingua straniera, e in particolare il riferimento ai traducenti nella lingua degli apprendenti, a rendere ancor più confuse le idee e meno efficace tanto la didattica quanto l’apprendimento di queste unità. Scopo delle seguenti pagine è i) descrivere il meccanismo della sinonimia in cinese moderno; ii) illustrare gli studi condotti nell’ambito del cinese L2 e LS; iii) presentare i dati tratti da un campione di apprendenti italofoni per giungere a possibili sviluppi di ricerca e implicazioni didattiche.
