description: We present a systematic study of the proton spin structure in terms of measurable parton distributions. For a transversely-polarizedproton, we derive a polarization sum rule from the leading generalized parton distributions appearing in hard exclusive processes. For a longitudinally-polarized proton, we obtain a helicity decomposition from well-known quark and gluon helicity distributions and orbital angular-momentum contributions. The latter is shown to be related to measurable subleading generalized parton distributions and quantum-phase space Wigner distributions.

description: A search for the double beta processes in 106Cd was carried out at the Gran Sasso National Laboratories of the INFN (Italy) with the help of a 106CdWO4 crystal scintillator (215 g) enriched in 106Cd up to 66%. After 6590 h of data taking, new improved half-life limits on the double beta processes in 106Cd were established at the level of 10^{19}-10^{21} yr; in particular, T_{1/2}(2νεβ^+) > 2.1 10^{20} yr, T_{1/2}(2ν2β^+) > 4.3 10^{20} yr, and T_{1/2}(0ν2ε) > 1.0 10^{21} yr. The resonant neutrinoless double electron captures to the 2718 keV, 2741 keV and 2748 keV excited states of 106Pd are restricted to T_{1/2}(0ν2K) > 4.3 10^{20} yr, T_{1/2}(0νKL1) > 9.5 10^{20} yr and T_{1/2}(0νKL3) > 4.3 10^{20} yr, respectively (all limits at 90% C.L.). A possible resonant enhancement of the 0ν2εprocesses is estimated in the framework of the QRPA approach. The radioactive contamination of the 106CdWO4 crystal scintillator is reported.

description: Welcome to the University of Twente lectures on Research Data Management. Research data management is a crucial part of research and is related, among others, to data storage, sharing, documentation, processing, and archiving. For students RDM is important because it will help to safely store data, so nothing gets lost. It prevents unauthorized access to data and helps to keep track of the work that has been done so far. RDM saves time finding data, it improves the quality of work and decreases the chance of errors. That is why RDM is important. For online micro-lectures check: https://vimeo.com/showcase/8682601

Using interpretive description to explore and evaluate the Providence Health Care goals of care companion card : the clinicians' expreriences
Creators: name: McNamee-Clark, Catherine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: End of life conversations are challenging in all health care settings, and health care providers’ (HCPs) fears about holding end of life conversations are a barrier to quality patient centred care. This study explored HCPs’ experiences using a conversation “companion card” to structure end of life discussions and sought to understand HCPs’ experiences with goals of care (GOC) conversations. A theoretical perspective of relational ethics and a research methodology of Interpretive Description (ID) guided this research study. The methodology produced a qualitative description of experiences from a sample of HCPs. Over a two month period, the researcher gathered data during four semi-structured focus groups with twenty one participants at one urban acute care setting in Western Canada. In addition to focus groups the researcher relied on other processes to enhance her reflexivity, including journaling and memos; all of which are essential to ID inquiry. The findings of this study centre around four themes relating to participants’ experiences discussing GOC and the usefulness of the companion card in discussions. These themes are titled, the big struggle; responsibility; building relationships and the utility of the GOC companion card. Recommendations from this study addressed the need for research into the ethics of discussing GOC with patients and families with life limiting illnesses; organisational prioritisation ensuring therapeutic GOC discussions take place; incorporation of GOC discussions in educational programs across all health care sectors; and policy reform to ensure community care services can support ongoing GOC conversations.
title: Sir Robert Cecil and Elizabethan Intelligencing, 1590-1603
Creators: name: Mains, Christopher
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2021

description: Much scholarly attention has been given to the development of Sir Francis Walsingham’s intelligence-gathering network and how it played an important role in Elizabethan foreign and domestic politics during the 1580s, but little has been attempted for the 1590s. This thesis will argue that the practices and methods that Walsingham laid down did not completely dissipate after his death but in fact continued to be adhered to, most notably in the person of Sir Robert Cecil. It was Cecil who, more than any other Elizabethan in high authority, looked to create his own intelligence-gathering network as he foresaw the benefits of doing so. However, this transition was by no means straightforward, and in fact it can be seen as disjointed. The thesis will also show that the rise of Cecil’s intelligence-gathering network became intertwined with the rise of his political career. It was not until he became principal secretary in July 1596 that the creation of his own network could really proceed apace. The make-up and construction of his intelligence-gathering network will be discussed, as will the backgrounds of the people who worked for Cecil: his secretaries, his agents and message carriers. In sum, it will be shown that Sir Robert Cecil created by 1603 an effective intelligence-gathering network that was put to good use in the final years of Elizabeth’s reign and continued into that of James I.

We propose a multilayer graphene -- boron-nitride heterostructure which is able to emit radiation in the frequency range $\sim 0.1-30$ THz with the power density up to $\sim 0.5$ W/cm$^2$ at room temperature. The proposed device is extremely thin, light, flexible, almost invisible and may completely cover the needs of science and technology in the sources of terahertz radiation.

description: We establish bounds on the density of states measure for Schrödinger operators. These are deterministic results that do not require the existence of the density of states measure, or, equivalently, of the integrated density of states. The results are stated in terms of a "density of states outer-measure" that always exists, and provides an upper bound for the density of states measure when it exists. We prove log-Hölder continuity for this density of states outer-measure in one, two, and three dimensions for Schrödinger operators, and in any dimension for discrete Schrödinger operators.

We compute analytically the quasinormal modes and from these modes we show that Topological Lifshitz black hole is stable. On the other hand, we compute the reflection and transmission coefficients and the absorption cross section and we show that there is a range of modes with high angular momentum which contributes to the absorption cross section in the low frequency limit. Furthermore, in this limit, we show that the absorption cross section decreases if the scalar field mass increases, for a real scalar field mass.

description: We develop a model for the dynamic evolution of default-free and defaultable interest rates in a LIBOR framework. Utilizing the class of affine processes, this model produces positive LIBOR rates and spreads, while the dynamics are analytically tractable under defaultable forward measures. This leads to explicit formulas for CDS spreads, while semi-analytical formulas are derived for other credit derivatives. Finally, we give an application to counterparty risk.

description: The holotype specimen of Alexandronectes zealandiensis is analyzed using digital reconstruction based on CT scans. Additional information regarding internal anatomy or obscured details are added. Additional features include: ectopterygoid rhombic in shape with posterior end pointed, a feature shared only with Aristonectes quiriquinensis; pterygoid shows a high dorsal crest located anteriorly and laterally to the level of the basipterygoid process; posterior margin of parabasisphenoid medially notched in ventral view and surrounding anteriorly and laterally a midline pit. Two canals for XII nerve are present in the right exoccipital-opisthothic and only one in the left one. Supraoccipital with two medially curved ridges on its posterior surface. Additionally, the presence of a stapes is described for the first time in an aristonectine elasmosaurid. The inner ear labyrinth is described and compared with that of other plesiosaurs, and the floccular recess (osseous correlate of the floccular lobe of the cerebellum) is described for first time among elasmosaurids. This feature is probably related to the presence of a long neck and with predatory behavior as the floccular lobe (housed in the floccular recess) stabilized the head via the cervical musculature, and stabilized the retinal image during rotational head movements.

description: Let g be a semi-simple Lie algebra. In this paper we study the spaces of based quasi-maps from the projective line P^1 to the flag variety of g (it is well-known that their singularities are supposed to model the singularities of the so called semi-infinite Schubert varieties which are hard to define directly). In the first part of the paper we show that the above spaces are normal and in the case when g is simply laced they are also Gorenstein and have rational singularities. In the second part of the paper we compute the character of the ring of functions on the above spaces; in view of the above results this computation can be thought of as a computation of the (equivariant) K-theoretic J-function of the flag variety of g. We show that when g is simply laced the above characters satisfy the "fermionic recursion" version of the difference quantum Toda lattice (due to B.Feigin, E.Feigin, M.Jimbo, T.Miwa and E.Mukhin). As a byproduct we show that the equivariant K-theoretic J-function of the flag variety of a simply laced Lie algebra g is the universal eigen-function of the difference quantum Toda lattice, thus proving a conjecture of Givental and Lee. Some modification of this result is also shown to hold for non-simply laced g. We also discuss an extension of the above results to the case when g is an affine Lie algebra (this extension is conjectural except when g=sl(N)).

description: The cranial skeleton of the enigmatic gliding neodiapsid reptile Coelurosauravus elivensis (Lower Sakamena Formation, Lopingian, Southwestern Madagascar) is re-described in detail. All previously referred specimens are re-examined under both direct observations and Reflectance Transformation Imaging. Their exquisite preservation yields detailed three-dimensional information on the outline of individual bones and their osteological relationships, which are missing in the Laurasian remains. In contrast to previous studies, the ontogenetic maturity of all specimens is re-affirmed. Previously unidentified elements of the palate, braincase and mandible are described, and a novel reconstruction is proposed, including the first palatal reconstruction in a weigeltisaurid reptile. C. elivensis has the smallest skull of all weigeltisaurids and differs from other species in its facial ornamentation, parietosquamosal frill and larger anterior maxillary dentition. We also provide extensive comparisons with contemporaneous reptiles, possibly closely related taxa and more recent analogs, as well as a preliminary discussion of the functional anatomy of the peculiar cranial morphology of weigeltisaurids. The cranial skeleton is a truss construction with large orbits and temporal fenestrae. By analogy with extant chamaeleonids, the elongate parietosquamosal frill is associated with an increase in length and diameter of the temporal jaw adductors, resulting in an increased gape and/or bite force and speed. Additionally, the spikes and frills of weigeltisaurids most likely served as a display and defensive structure.

description: General Relativistic calculations in the linear regime have been made for electromagnetic beams of radiation known as optical vortices. These exotic beams of light carry a physical quantity known as optical orbital angular momentum (OAM). It is found that when a massive spinning neutral particle is placed along the optical axis, a phenomenon known as inertial frame dragging occurs. Our results are compared with those found previously for a ring laser and an order of magnitude estimate of the laser intensity needed for a precession frequency of 1 Hz is given for these "steady" beams of light.

Portentosoceros, the new genus for the Neogene fish Pentaceros sakhaliniсus Gretchina (Perciformes, Percoidei) from the western Pacific and its taxonomic position

description: The Miocene fossil fish †Pentaceros sakhaliniсus Gretchina, 1975, (Perciformes, Pentacerotidae) is redescribed based on the holotype and numerous additional materials collected on Sakhalin Island (western Pacific, Russian Far East) at the end of the 20th century. The general appearance and body proportions, as well as the presence of multiple (more than three) anal-fin spines, make the Miocene taxon similar to members of the family Pentacerotidae, whereas generalized morphological characters such as the presence of three supraneurals and the absence of rugosity of the superficial head bones differentiate this species greatly from any known pentacerotid genus. Thus, the new genus †Portentosoceros is erected for this fish, which was considered the only known fossil member of the family. Due to the fact that this fish lacks the main synapomorphic characters of the Pentacerotidae, †Portentosoceros gen. nov. is left incertae sedis within the Percoidei, though probably related to Recent armorheads. The observed variability in the number of anal-fin spines (from four to six) in †Portentosoceros sakhalinicus is extremely unusual.

description: Observing prices of European put and call options, we calibrate exponential Lévy models nonparametrically. We discuss the efficient implementation of the spectral estimation procedures for Lévy models of finite jump activity as well as for self-decomposable Lévy models. Based on finite sample variances, confidence intervals are constructed for the volatility, for the drift and, pointwise, for the jump density. As demonstrated by simulations, these intervals perform well in terms of size and coverage probabilities. We compare the performance of the procedures for finite and infinite jump activity based on options on the German DAX index and find that both methods achieve good calibration results. The stability of the finite activity model is studied when the option prices are observed in a sequence of trading days.

Electrochemical studies of Inconel alloys 617 and 625 in molten PbCl2 : KCl mixture
Creators: name: Golozar, Maryam
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Behavior of Inconel alloys 617 and 625 in PbCl₂ -KCl molten salt system at three temperatures of 450, 550, and 650°C in air atmosphere and air-15%CO₂ atmosphere were compared using different electrochemical experiments. Electrochemical experiments performed included open circuit potential, potentiodynamic polarization, linear polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in order to examine the in situ electrochemical behavior of these alloys at high operating temperatures. In addition, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX) were used to examine the cross section of the alloy and characterize chemical composition of the oxide at different temperatures after exposure to molten salt. To obtain phases of the scale formed on the surface of alloys, X-ray diffraction (XRD) was also used. At all temperatures, corrosion resistance for alloy 625 was greater than alloy 617, thus, the corrosion rate for alloy 617 was slightly more than alloy 625. With increasing temperature, the corrosion rate increased. Both alloys formed a Cr₂O₃ scale. This scale became porous and, as a result, corrosion spices penetrated through the pores. This diffusion of corrosive species was the root cause for corrosion in the two alloys. Other alloying elements that formed oxides and chlorides included Cr, Ni, Mo, Co, and Nb.

description: This paper studies the moment boundedness of solutions of linear stochastic delay differential equations with distributed delay. For a linear stochastic delay differential equation, the first moment stability is known to be identical to that of the corresponding deterministic delay differential equation. However, boundedness of the second moment is complicated and depends on the stochastic terms. In this paper, the characteristic function of the equation is obtained through techniques of Laplace transform. From the characteristic equation, sufficient conditions for the second moment to be bounded or unbounded are proposed.

description: We study the notion of conservative translation between logics introduced by Feitosa and D'Ottaviano. We show that classical propositional logic (CPC) is universal in the sense that every finitary consequence relation over a countable set of formulas can be conservatively translated into CPC. The translation is computable if the consequence relation is decidable. More generally, we show that one can take instead of CPC a broad class of logics (extensions of a certain fragment of full Lambek calculus FL) including most nonclassical logics studied in the literature, hence in a sense, (almost) any two reasonable deductive systems can be conservatively translated into each other. We also provide some counterexamples, in particular the paraconsistent logic LP is not universal.

Narration as action : the potential of pedagogical narration for leadership enactment in early childhood education contexts
Creators: name: Berger, Iris
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: In the field of Early Childhood Education (ECE), especially in the sector that focuses on provision of care and education for children under the age of five, the concept of leadership has been under explored theoretically and empirically. The paucity in ECE leadership research has become particularly troubling because early education has recently been the subject of major policy changes. The changes are characterized by formulation of centralized ECE curricula and closer structural relations between ECE and formal schooling. These changes present a growing risk of narrowing the possibilities for thinking what ECE might be about/for. The purpose of this qualitative multiple-case research project was to study the leadership potential that an innovative practice called pedagogical narration has for reinvigorating public conversations that complicate and broaden the discussion about purposes and values of early education. Pedagogical narration involves a process through which early childhood educators create and share narratives about significant pedagogical occurrences with children from their early childhood settings with the purpose of engaging others in critical dialogue where questions about meanings, identities, and values are made visible and open for disputation and renewal. The study focused on exploring what new possibilities for leadership enactment and leadership identities arise when early childhood educators engage with the practice of pedagogical narration. By drawing on Hannah Arendt’s political theory, leadership was reconstituted as ethical and political action that is enacted through inserting into the public domain narratives that interrupt habitual thought, opening the space for new understandings of our plural existence. Significant leadership events illuminated the potential of pedagogical narration for enacting leadership through: reconstituting ECE as a public space, mitigating habits of thoughtlessness, and pluralizing the identities of children. The study offers new conceptual options for theorizing and enacting leadership in ECE contexts, as well as providing a conceptual terrain from which new leadership identities for early childhood educators can emerge.

description: We give an $AB$-factorization of the supercharacter table of the group of $n\times n$ unipotent upper triangular matrices over $\FF_q$, where $A$ is a lower-triangular matrix with entries in $\ZZ[q]$ and $B$ is a unipotent upper-triangular matrix with entries in $\ZZ[q^{-1}]$. To this end we introduce a $q$ deformation of a new power-sum basis of the Hopf algebra of symmetric functions in noncommutative variables. The factorization is obtain from the transition matrices between the supercharacter basis, the $q$-power-sum basis and the superclass basis. This is similar to the decomposition of the character table of the symmetric group $S_n$ given by the transition matrices between Schur functions, monomials and power-sums. We deduce some combinatorial results associated to this decomposition. In particular we compute the determinant of the supercharacter table.
