Social impacts of large scale development projects case study : Hugh Keenleyside dam construction
Creators: name: Backerman, Stuart Bruce
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis reports the results of an empirical research, conducted for the displaced communities located on the Arrow Lakes in British Columbia. Emphasis was given to that part of the displaced population that relocated away from the Arrow Lakes region. Ethnographic, data, including community-dynamics, culture and history, and intensive personal interviews with formerly displaced people was collected in order to assess the effects relocation had upon the displaced population. The rationale for the study stems from the fact that to date the planning process has not given due regard to the comprehensive identification of social impacts resulting from construction and operation of large scale development projects. Some impacts have been expected; however, other impacts, which were given little consideration in planning stages and which have come about in a completely unexpected manner, may be documented for virtually every large development project. Any contribution towards ensuring identification of impacts which might otherwise occur unexpectedly should serve to improve the planning process. Ideally, it would be valuable to be able to recognize previously unanticipated effects during the pre-operational planning period. In this particular research recognition of secondary effects during the preplanning period have not explicitly been studied, however, identifying impacts "after the fact" (as a follow-up) has certain validity. It can serve in a nominal way as an indicator for predicting the range of probable consequences of subsequent development projects. It is also necessary as a feed-back or checking mechanism. Often times predictions are proven wrong and secondary effects go undetected, thus a follow-up component within the process is a necessary requisite. Post relocation addresses and whereabouts have been traced for twenty-three households or approximately eighteen per cent of the total displaced population that did not relocate within the Arrow Lakes region. Thus, the following conclusion has been formulated regarding displacement from the large scale power development project in the Arrow Lakes region of British Columbia: Individuals that have commitments to a community and are displaced from communities that display a strong sense of identity and cohesion are more adversely affected than those with no commitments and from communities that lack a strong sense of identity. And finally, a step-by-step approach for relocation planning was identified and discussed.

description: Context: Active Galactic Nuclei are highly variable emitters of electromagnetic waves from the radio to the gamma-ray regime. This variability may be periodic, which in turn could be the signature of a binary black hole. Systems of black holes are strong emitters of gravitational waves whose amplitude depends on the binary orbital parameters as the component mass, the orbital semi-major-axis and eccentricity. Aims: It is our aim to prove the existence of periodicity of the AGN Markarian 501 from several observations in different wavelengths. A simultaneous periodicity in different wavelengths provides evidence for bound binary black holes in the core of AGN. Methods: Existing data sets from observations by Whipple, SWIFT, RXTE and MAGIC have been analysed with the Lomb-Scargle method, the epoch folding technique and the SigSpec software. Results: Our analysis shows a 72-day period, which could not be seen in previous works due to the limited length of observations. This does not contradict a 23-day period which can be derived as a higher harmonic from the 72-day period.

description: We construct new families of interpolating two-parameter solutions of type IIB supergravity. These correspond to D3-D5 systems on non-compact six-dimensional manifolds which are T^2 fibrations over Eguchi-Hanson and multi-center Taub-NUT spaces, respectively. One end of the interpolation corresponds to a solution with only D5 branes and vanishing NS three-form flux. A topology changing transition occurs at the other end, where the internal space becomes a direct product of the four-dimensional surface and the two-torus and the complexified NS-RR three-form flux becomes imaginary self-dual. Depending on the choice of the connections on the torus fibre, the interpolating family has either N=2 or N=1 supersymmetry. In the N=2 case it can be shown that the solutions are regular.

description: High-performance non-volatile resistive random access memories (ReRAM) and their small stimuli control are of immense interest for high-speed computation and big-data processing in the emergent Internet of Things (IOT) arena. Here, we examine the resistive switching (RS) behavior in growth controlled HfO2/La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 heterostructures and their tunability under low magnetic field. It is demonstrated that oxygen-deficient HfO2 films show bipolar switching with high on/off ratio, stable retention, as well as good endurance owing to the orthorhombic-rich phase constitution and charge (de)-trapping-enabled Schottky-type conduction. Most importantly, we have demonstrated that, the RS can be tuned by a very low externally applied magnetic field (0-30 mT). Remarkably, application of a magnetic field of 30 mT causes the RS to be fully quenched and frozen in the high resistance state (HRS) even after the removal of magnetic field. However, the quenched state could be resurrected by applying higher bias voltage than the one for initial switching. This is argued to be a consequence of the electronically and ionically active nature of the HfO2-x/LSMO interface on both sides, and its susceptibility to the electric and low magnetic field effects. This result could pave the way for new designs of interface engineered high-performance oxitronic ReRAM devices.

description: Costante è il dibattito relativo ai possibili sprechi
nell’amministrazione della giustizia penale ed alle inefficienze dei tribunali,
delle procure e, più in generale, dell’organizzazione giudiziaria e del
processo. Può essere utile il tentativo di fornire a tale dibattito strumenti
analitici innovativi, quali ad esempio l’analisi economica costi/benefici, con
cui affrontare congiuntamente questioni di diritto ed osservazioni legate alla
produzione degli uffici ed alla loro efficienza. È possibile, cioè, tentare di
costruire e rendere disponibili dei semplici modelli economici – già diffusi
nella letteratura anglosassone di law and economics – che, considerando le
strutture preposte alla giurisdizione in termini di produzione e produttività e
l’attore processuale come un’unità produttiva che opera con l’obiettivo di
massimizzare i benefici ottenibili con le proprie risorse, facilitino lo studio del
settore. Il tentativo di introdurre elementi di semplificazione e
formalizzazione del comportamento dei soggetti della giurisdizione ha, infatti,
grandissime potenzialità sia di carattere positivo sia di carattere normativo:
permette, cioè, di interrogarsi sull’efficienza della funzione svolta dai tribunali
e, nel caso di esito negativo, di capire come intervenire sulla struttura
produttiva per ottenere una crescita di produttività. Tutto ciò in un contesto
ove il court management sta emergendo come un nuovo campo fertile nello
studio dei settori pubblici, in coerenza col crescente interesse nel definire
quanto le corti (in generale) e le procure (più in particolare) siano
performanti.

description: Here, we reported a haplotype-resolved and telomere-to-telomere genome assembly of M. acuminata using PacBio HiFi reads, Nanopore ultra-long reads and high-covered Hi-C data. This assembly represented a significantly high-quality reference assessed by contiguity (contig N50: 16.53Mb and 18.58Mb; LAI: 20.18 and 19.48), completeness (BUSCOs: 98.57% and 98.57%), and correctness (QV: 45.97 and 46.12). All centromeres and 36 of 44 telomeres had been captured. The mapping rates of HiFi and Illumina reads both exceeded 99.80%. In total, 40,889 and 38,269 protein-coding genes were annotated in the two haploid assemblies, respectively, of which 9.56% and 3.37% were newly annotated compared with previous databases. Gene BUSCOs reached up to 89.41% and 90.27%, respectively. Through comparing our assembly and the previously published genome of M. acuminata, we identified two large translocation regions with length of 3 Mb and 10 Mb, which were further confirmed by Hi-C heatmap and targeted-PCR gel electrophoresis. This haplotype-resolved and telomere-to-telomere reference genome of M. acuminata provides an excellent resource for further understanding the mechanisms of subgenome evolution, domestication history, and genetic breeding of banana.

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: The metric of a nonrotating black hole deformed by a tidal interaction is calculated and expressed as an expansion in the strength of the tidal coupling. The expansion parameter is the inverse length scale R^{-1}, where R is the radius of curvature of the external spacetime in which the black hole moves. The expansion begins at order R^{-2}, and it is carried out through order R^{-4}. The metric is parameterized by a number of tidal multipole moments, which specify the black hole's tidal environment. The tidal moments are freely-specifiable functions of time that are related to the Weyl tensor of the external spacetime. The metric is presented in a light-cone coordinate system that possesses a clear geometrical meaning: The advanced-time coordinate $v$ is constant on past light cones that converge toward the black hole; the angles theta and phi are constant on the null generators of each light cone; and the radial coordinate r is an affine parameter on each generator, which decreases as the light cones converge toward the black hole. The coordinates are well-behaved on the black-hole horizon, and they are adjusted so that the coordinate description of the horizon is the same as in the Schwarzschild geometry: r = 2M. At the order of accuracy maintained in this work, the horizon is a stationary null hypersurface foliated by apparent horizons; it is an isolated horizon in the sense of Ashtekar and Krishnan. As an application of our results we examine the induced geometry and dynamics of the horizon, and calculate the rate at which the black-hole surface area increases as a result of the tidal interaction.

description: This thesis introduces new processing techniques for computer-aided interpretation of ultrasound images with
the purpose of supporting medical diagnostic. In terms of
practical application, the goal of this work is the improvement of current prostate biopsy protocols by providing physicians with a visual map overlaid over ultrasound images marking regions potentially affected by disease. As far as analysis techniques are concerned, the main contributions of this work to the state-of-the-art is the introduction of deconvolution as a pre-processing step in the standard ultrasonic tissue characterization procedure to improve the diagnostic significance of ultrasonic features.
This thesis also includes some innovations in ultrasound
modeling, in particular the employment of a continuous-time autoregressive moving-average (CARMA) model for ultrasound signals, a new maximum-likelihood CARMA estimator based on exponential splines and the definition of CARMA parameters as new ultrasonic features able to capture scatterers concentration.
Finally, concerning the clinical usefulness of the developed techniques, the main contribution of this research is showing, through a study based on medical ground truth,
that a reduction in the number of sampled cores in standard
prostate biopsy is possible, preserving the same diagnostic
power of the current clinical protocol.

En ce qui concerne les techniques d’analyse, la contribution principale de cette thèse est l’introduction de la déconvolution comme étape de pré-traitement dans la procédure standard de caractérisation des tissus par ultrasons, afin d’améliorer la valeur diagnostique des caractéristiques du signal.
Cette thèse présente, en outre, des innovations dans la
modélisation du signal ultrason, en particulier la proposition d’un modèle autorégressif à moyenne glissante en temps continu (CARMA), le développement d’un nouvel estimateur au maximum de vraisemblance de paramètres CARMA fondé sur les splines exponentielles et la définition des paramètres CARMA comme des nouvelles caractéristiques du signal ultrason capables de capturer l’information sur la concentration de scatterers.
Enfin, concernant l’utilité clinique des techniques développées, la contribution principale de cette recherche est dans la démonstration, au travers d’une étude médicale, de la possibilité de réduire concrètement le nombre d'échantillons prélevés pendant la biopsie de la prostate standard, en préservant le même pouvoir diagnostique du protocole biopsique standard.
Diritto di cronaca e tutela dei valori della persona nell'ambito del settore audiovisivo

description: La ricerca riguarda il rapporto fra il diritto di cronaca e i diritti degli individui che vengono coinvolti dalla diffusione dell’informazione sui mezzi di comunicazione, con particolare riferimento al settore audiovisivo. La cronaca, rientrando fra le manifestazioni del pensiero (art. 21 Cost.), costituisce un diritto di libertà e, come tale, non può essere in alcun modo vincolata in funzione di uno scopo sociale. Tuttavia dall’esercizio di essa discende il risultato (non scopo!) vantaggioso per la collettività e per la vita dello Stato democratico. L’ordinamento cerca quindi un punto di equilibrio fra la cronaca e gli altri valori della persona confliggenti e di pari rango; ciò avviene attraverso il bilanciamento in concreto operato dalla giurisprudenza (secondo i principi della  sentenza del decalogo) e attraverso la disciplina dei mezzi, al fine di garantire il “diritto ad essere informati” espresso dall’art.10 della CEDU. La disciplina dei mezzi si giustifica in ragione della capacità di influenzare il pubblico e della capacità pervasiva di essi, in particolare del mezzo televisivo che, nonostante l’espansione di internet, conserva ad oggi il primato. 
Per quanto riguarda gli strumenti di tutela previsti per le ipotesi di lesioni derivanti dalla informazione, ci si sofferma sulla rettifica.(art.32, dlgs 177/2005). Viene effettuato un raffronto con l’analoga figura prevista nella stampa (legge 47/1948), riscontrando che nell’audiovisivo lo strumento è applicabile solo in caso di notizie oggettivamente false che abbiano leso gli interessi morali del soggetto, escludendo la valutazione soggettiva del richiedente, prevista invece per la stampa. Viene ricercata la ratio della differenziazione normativa dei due settori, anche attraverso l’analisi dei provvedimenti dell’AGCOM. In ragione dell’obiettivo di garantire l’obiettività e il pluralismo informativo perseguito dal legislatore attraverso la disciplina dell’audiovisivo, la rettifica, dalla duplice valenza, vede qui prevalere l’aspetto di tutela dell’oggettività notiziale, rispetto alla tutela dell’individuo, realizzata di riflesso, col ripristino della verità.

description: We study non-equilibrium analogues of surface phase transitions in a minimal model of active particles in contact with a purely repulsive potential barrier that mimics a thin porous membrane. Under conditions of bulk motility-induced phase separation, the interaction strength $\varepsilon_w$ of the barrier controls the affinity of the dense phase for the barrier region. We uncover clear signatures of a wetting phase transition as $\varepsilon_w$ is varied. In common with its equilibrium counterpart, the character of this transition depends on the system dimensionality: a continuous transition with large density fluctuations and gas bubbles is uncovered in 2d while 3d systems exhibit a sharp transition absent of large correlations.

description: This paper considers the so-called MIMO interference channel. This situation has relevance in applications such as multi-cell coordination in cellular networks as well as spectrum sharing in cognitive radio networks among others. We address the design of precoding (i.e. beamforming) vectors at each sender with the aim of striking a compromise between beamforming gain at the intended receiver (Egoism) and the mitigation of interference created towards other receivers (Altruism). Combining egoistic and altruistic beamforming has been shown previously to be instrumental to optimizing the rates in a MISO interference channel (i.e. where receivers have no interference canceling capability) . Here we explore these game-theoretic concepts in the more general context of MIMO channels and using the framework of Bayesian games, allowing us to derive (semi-)distributed precoding techniques. We draw parallels with existing work on the MIMO interference channel, including rate-optimizing and interference-alignement precoding techniques, showing how such techniques may be improved and re-interpretated through a common prism based on balancing egoistic and altruistic beamforming.
DECam photometry reveals extra-tidal stars around the Milky Way globular cluster NGC 6864 (M75)

description: Globular clusters are prone to lose stars while moving around the Milky Way. These stars escape the clusters and are distributed throughout extended envelopes or tidal tails. However, such extra-tidal structures are not observed in all globular clusters, and yet there is no structural or dynamical parameters that can predict their presence or absence. NGC\,6864 is an outer halo globular cluster with reported no observed tidal tails. We used Dark Energy Camera (DECam) photometry reaching $\sim$ 4 mag underneath its main sequence turnoff to confidently detect an extra-tidal envelope, and stellar debris spread across the cluster outskirts. These features emerged once robust field star filtering techniques were applied to the fainter end of the observed cluster main sequence. NGC\,6864 is associated to the {\it Gaia}-Enceladus dwarf galaxy, among others 28 globular clusters. Up-to-date, nearly 64$\%$ of them have been targeted looking for tidal tails and most of them have been confirmed to exhibit tidal tails. Thus, the present outcomes allow us to speculate on the possibility that {\it Gaia}-Enceladus globular clusters share a common pattern of mass loss by tidal disruption.

description: When combined, education and technology can build dynamic teaching and learning experiences that are tailored to developing and transforming the educators and learners needed to power the digital economy. For some reasons, however, there is still a big chunk of people especially students who aren’t ready yet to embrace the technological change in the field of education. This study aims to determine the factors affecting students’ e-learning technology acceptance particularly on Learning Management Systems (LMS) in the Filipino context. A conceptual model was proposed based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) which was extended through the inclusion of Internet Connectivity Experience (ICE), Social Media Influence (SMI), Integrated Multimedia Instruction (IMI), System Interactivity (SI) and Perceived Quality Work of Life (PQWL) as additional predictor values. The constructs were determined according to the three-tier use model (3- TUM) which was characterized to explore users’ attitudes towards IT at three levels. The target population in this research was Filipino students from colleges that are considered as promoters of elearning integration in the educational sphere in the Philippines. The collected data from 629 Filipino college students were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) technique based on AMOS methods. Finally, a path model was created to examine the relationships between the factors to explain students’ adoption of e-learning technology from the information systems acceptance point of view. As a result, it provided practical and technical implications applicable for local and global school environments that could help educational leaders, educational technologists, educators and learners in their development, implementation, and acceptance of e-learning technology like LMS.

description: The excess of electron-like events measured by MiniBooNE challenges our understanding of neutrinos and their interactions. We review the status of this open problem and ongoing efforts to resolve it. After introducing the experiment and its results, we consider the main experimental backgrounds and the related physics of neutrino interactions with matter such as quasielastic-like scattering and weak pion production on nucleons and nuclei. Special attention is paid to single photon emission in neutral current interactions and, in particular, its coherent channel. The difficulties to reconcile the MiniBooNE anomaly with global oscillation analysis is then highlighted. We finally outline some of the proposed solutions of the puzzle involving unconventional neutrino-interaction mechanisms.

description: Context. We present a photometric and astrometric catalog of 187963 stars located in the field around the old super-metal-rich Galactic open cluster NGC 6253. The total field-of-view covered by the catalog is 34' x 33'. In this field, we provide CCD BVRI photometry. For a smaller region close to the cluster's center, we also provide near-infrared JHK photometry. Aims. We analyze the properties of NGC 6253 by using our new photometric data and astrometric membership. Methods. In June 2004, we targeted the cluster during a 10 day multi-site campaign, which involved the MPG/ESO 2.2m telescope with its wide-field imager and the Anglo-Australian 3.9m telescope, equipped with the IRIS2 near-infrared imager. Archival CCD images of NGC 6253 were used to derive relative proper motions and to calculate the cluster membership probabilities. Results. We have refined the cluster's fundamental parameters, deriving (V_0-M_v)=11.15, E(B - V)=0.15, E(V - I)=0.25, E(V - J)=0.50, and E(V - H)=0.55. The color excess ratios obtained using both the optical and near infrared colors indicate a normal reddening law in the direction of NGC 6253. The age of NGC 6253 at 3.5 Gyr, determined from our best-fitting isochrone appears to be slightly older than the previous estimates. Finally, we estimated the binary fraction among the cluster members to be \sim20%-30% and identified 11 blue straggler candidates.

Year: 2024

description: Study aid on critical thinking formation with TBLT approach use in multilingualism conditions may be used in the English classes with students who are already familiar with academic intermediate/upper intermediate English. Any materials designed for teaching critical thinking skills based on TBLT approach necessarily embody assumptions about the nature of a word, the nature and objectives of learning a word, and what teaching a word involves. The purpose of this study aid is to offer some effective ways to teach academic vocabulary and help students to translate their academic vocabulary knowledge into reading, spoken and written activities by using critical thinking skills that conform to the expectations of the academic/scientific communication environment. These activities focused on to improve students’ critical-thinking skills. Exercises involving word origin, word play, spoonerisms, imagination, logic application, character analysis, examining evidence, associative thinking, creative thinking, and other interesting real-world applications are found within this study aid.

description: A nonlocal chiral quark model is consistently extended beyond mean field using a strict 1/Nc expansion scheme. The parameters of the nonlocal model are refitted to the physical values of the pion mass and the weak pion decay constant. The size of the 1/Nc correction to the quark condensate is carefully studied in the nonlocal and the usual local Nambu-Jona-Lasinio models. It is found that even the sign of the corrections can be different. This can be attributed to the mesonic cut-off of the local model. It is also found that the 1/Nc corrections lead to a lowering of the temperature of the chiral phase transition in comparison with the mean-field result. On the other hand, near the phase transition the 1/Nc expansion breaks down and a non-perturbative scheme for the inclusion of mesonic correlations is needed in order to describe the phase transition point.

Retorica e mito in Giambattista Vico
Creators: name: Gualtieri, Gaetano Antonio <1960>
Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna
Year: 2011
Subjects: M-FIL/06 Storia della filosofia

description: The purpose of this thesis is to show that Vico had the constant aim, remained unaltered in time, to support the usefulness of Rhetoric. The awareness of the strength acquired by the “anti-rhetorical” movements, particularly by the Cartesians and the Logicians from Port-Royal, obliged Vico to elaborate some strategies and counter-moves that, little by little, became more and more complex and refined, till they inspired his main work, The New Science.
By taking into consideration the most significant aspects of Vico’s speculation (topic, tropes, the formation of language, the development of human thought, the new conception of philology ), this work shows that they are part of a strategy worked out by the Neapolitan philosopher, in order to demonstrate the validity, the usefulness and the modernity of Rhetoric.
Every aspect of Vico’s thought reaches its peak when Vico formulates his theory about myths, which he interprets as an expression of the primitive man’s necessities and demands.
The point of view expressed by this doctorate thesis emphasizes that, despite the inevitable modifications that have taken place through the centuries, Vico’s thought keeps its substantial unity. So those subjects that critical literature tends to separate are, in reality, linked and unified.

description: We report on measurements of the quantum capacitance in graphene as a function of charge carrier density. A resonant LC-circuit giving high sensitivity to small capacitance changes is employed. The density of states, which is directly proportional to the quantum capacitance, is found to be significantly larger than zero at and around the charge neutrality point. This finding is interpreted to be a result of potential fluctuations with amplitudes of the order of 100 meV in good agreement with scanning single-electron transistor measurements on bulk graphene and transport studies on nanoribbons.
title: Separation and Recovery of Base Metals from Waste Streams at Low pH

description: The growing application of Ni-containing materials in new technologies, such as Electric Vehicle (EV) battery systems and in industrial products such as Ni alloys, catalysts, metal hydrides and in certain portable electronic devices creates a sustainability challenge. Ni-containing wastewaters are a source of pollution that can harm human health, and mining Ni from primary sources has a significant environmental impact. Consequently, the recovery of Ni(II) is of growing importance. Solid phase extraction technologies are regarded as some of the most effective techniques to recover metals from low concentration solutions. Some of the advantages over other methods are lower cost, easier operation, high capacity, selectivity, and efficiency. A key challenge is the selective recovery of Ni from solutions which contain other base metals (e.g., Co, Cu and Fe) at low pH. Picolinamide was explored as a potential chelating ligand as the aromatic amine in combination with the amide group was expected to lead to stronger nickel coordination at low pH. The functionalisation of silica gel with picolinamide was investigated using a diverse range of methods. Derivatisation of (3-aminopropyl)-functionalised silica was achieved by reaction of picolinic acid and the amide-coupling agent 1,1’-carbonyldiimidazole. This new material successfully demonstrated industrially relevant nickel adsorption at low pH and the materials were characterised by FT-IR, Solid State NMR and microanalysis. The silica material was also compared with commercial chelating resins. The functionalisation of other backbones such as poly(styrene), poly(glycidyl methacrylate) and silica-polymer composites with picolinamide was also explored using a similar route. In addition, the picolinamide-functionalised silica in column conditions demonstrated the selective separation of metals such as Co(II), Cu(II), Fe(III), Li, Mn(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II). Furthermore, the silica material is capable of chromatographically separating Co(II) and Ni(II) mixtures.
Pedestrian malls : their roles in the revitalization of downtown

description: During the past two decades the Pedestrian Mall has emerged as a new development concept in the downtowns of many cities of the world. This paper attempts to study the role of the pedestrian mall in the revitalization of downtown. As a background to this study, the author researched the various functions of the street from historical time to the present day, the type of pedestrian malls that have been built, and the elements that are basic to the pedestrian mall. Many malls have been built in Europe, England, the United States and Canada; some have succeeded but some failed. The experiences of eleven pedestrian malls were reviewed and the criticism by various writers were recorded, and sometimes analysed. Out of this review, the author has also identified the different stages generally taken during the planning process of pedestrian malls. These planning stages may be useful as guidelines for future mall developments. The author finds that the revitalization of downtown is a very confused issue. This study concludes that the role of the pedestrian mall in the revialization must be looked at from two different points of view. Philosophically, the pedestrian mall represents the return of the street as a social space where people congregate and carry on with a variety of activities. In this respect the human scale of the space must be emphasized and the images of the city must be preserved and enhanced. Pragmatically, the pedestrian mall is a tool to generate a higher degree of economic activities, to resolve the pedestrian-vehicular conflict, and to create a better environment for human beings. It follows whether a mall succeeds or not depends on what it sets out to achieve. In order that the pedestrian mall can fulfil its function many requirements must be met. These requirements include the close cooperation between the merchants and the civic government; the establishment of a Mall Authority; the provision of accessibility and transportation to and from the mall; and the addition of amenities and good urban design. The Granville Mall in Vancouver is chosen as a case study. This mall is considered as a political action and was completed in a very short time. It has avoided in the planning process any experimentation, and the feasibility study and design phase were kept to the minimum. The recent evaluation surveys have reported that the sales volume has increased, but a city-wide opinion survey conducted by the author has indicated that 48% of the sample either disliked the mall for various reasons or were indifferent. It may be concluded that the Granville Mall is successful in revitalizing the economic activity of downtown but falls short of becoming a social space for people. The author has suggested some ideas in making the Granville Mall into a downtown centre for people if the transit is removed from the Mall.
Relation between hyperbolic Nizhnik-Novikov-Veselov equation and stationary Davey-Stewartson II equation

description: A Lax system in three variables is presented, two equations of which form the Lax pair of the stationary Davey-Stewartson II equation. With certain nonlinear constraints, the full integrability condition of this Lax system contains the hyperbolic Nizhnik-Novikov-Veselov equation and its standard Lax pair. The Darboux transformation for the Davey-Stewartson II equation is used to solve the hyperbolic Nizhnik-Novikov-Veselov equation. Using Darboux transformation, global $n$-soliton solutions are obtained. It is proved that each $n$-soliton solution approaches zero uniformly and exponentially at spatial infinity and is asymptotic to $n^2$ lumps of peaks at temporal infinity.

description: Echoing classical physics, quantum electrodynamics predicts the release of a spectral continuum of electromagnetic radiation upon the sudden acceleration of charged particles in quantum matter. Despite apparent theoretical success in describing sister nuclear processes, known as internal bremsstrahlung, following nuclear beta decay and K capture, the situation of the photoejection of an electron from an inner shell of an atom, intraatomic bremsstrahlung (IAB), is far from settled. In this paper we present fresh measurements which rely on contemporary signal processing as well as the high flux available from a synchrotron radiation source to revisit the problem by photoejecting electrons from the innermost shell of copper. For the first time we have sufficient sample statistics to measure the expected spectra at the level expected by contemporary theory. Furthermore, we employ sufficiently thin targets to overcome secondary scattering artifacts. Our approach applies the fluorescence coincidence method to guard against extraneous scattering and multiple incident photon processes. Our observations set a severe upper limit on the rate for IAB: We conclude that current theory overpredicts, by at least 5 sigma, the measured rate for K shell IAB in copper in the range of detected energies below the K fluorescence energy.

description: We present a thermal analysis of a patterned mesa on a Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 (Bi2212) single crystal that is based on tunneling characteristics of the c-axis stack of ~800 intrinsic Josephson junctions in the mesa. Despite the large mesa volume (e.g., 40x300x1.2 micron3) and power dissipation that result in selfheating and backbending of the current-voltage curve (I-V), there are accessible bias conditions for which significant polarized THz-wave emission can be observed. We estimate the mesa temperature by equating the quasiparticle resistance, Rqp(T), to the ratio V/I over the entire I-V including the backbending region. These temperatures are used to predict the unpolarized black-body radiation reaching our bolometer and there is substantial agreement over the entire I-V. As such, backbending results from the particular Rqp(T) for Bi2212, as first discussed by Fenton, rather than a significant suppression of the energy gap. This model also correctly predicts the observed disappearance of backbending above ~60 K.
