Migration, religious conversion, and transnational activism : a Vancouver Chinese church's quest to change China
Creators: name: Tan, Joshua
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Exile or migration, and religious conversion, are two powerful impetuses for people disillusioned with existing regimes to improve their predicament and find new sources of meaning and purpose. Whereas both the study of overseas Chinese, as well as religion in modern China, have flourished since China's era of reform and opening— alongside growing religions practice and reinvigorated transnational networks— scholarship in both fields has paid insufficient attention to transnational Chinese communities drawn along religious lines, and their potency to mobilize for activist causes in China. This thesis draws attention to the confluence of migration, religious conversion, and transnational activism to “change China” among a generation of intellectuals who exited China in the aftermath of the Tiananmen crackdown in 1989. Taking as case study a Vancouver Chinese church which grew commensurate with mainland Chinese migrations to Vancouver since the early 1990s, this thesis argues that that conversion to Christianity among members of this congregation enacted a change in self-identify from “migrant” to “self-exile,” a transformation embodied by its activist-turned-pastor. However, despite their remaining abroad and eschewing complicity with an unjust Communist regime in China, they remain intimately concerned with Chinese politics and seek to enact change in China through performative solidarity with “persecuted” Christian groups in China.

Unified derivation of phase-field models for alloy solidification from a grand-potential functional

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011

subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In the literature, two quite different phase-field formulations for the problem of alloy solidification can be found. In the first, the material in the diffuse interfaces is assumed to be in an intermediate state between solid and liquid, with a unique local composition. In the second, the interface is seen as a mixture of two phases that each retain their macroscopic properties, and a separate concentration field for each phase is introduced. It is shown here that both types of models can be obtained by the standard variational procedure if a grand-potential functional is used as a starting point instead of a free-energy functional. The dynamical variable is then the chemical potential instead of the composition. In this framework, a complete analogy with phase-field models for the solidification of a pure substance can be established. This analogy is then exploited to formulate quantitative phase-field models for alloys with arbitrary phase diagrams. The precision of the method is illustrated by numerical simulations with varying interface thickness.

description: We systematically investigated trilanthanide gallates (Ln3GaO6) with the space group Cmc21 as oxygen-ion conductors using first-principles calculations. Six Ln3GaO6 (Ln = Nd, Gd, Tb, Ho, Dy, or Er) are both energetically and dynamically stable among 15 Ln3GaO6 compounds, which is consistent with previous experimental studies reporting successful syntheses of single phases. La3GaO6 and Lu3GaO6 may be metastable despite a slightly higher energy than those of competing reference states, as phonon calculations predict them to be dynamically stable. The formation and the migration barrier energies of an oxygen vacancy (V O) suggest that eight Ln3GaO6 (Ln = La, Nd, Gd, Tb, Ho, Dy, Er, or Lu) can act as oxygen-ion conductors based on V O. Ga plays a role of decreasing the distances between the oxygen sites of Ln3GaO6 compared with those of Ln2O3 so that a V O migrates easier with a reduced migration barrier energy. Larger oxygen-ion diffusivities and lower migration barrier energies of V O for the eight Ln3GaO6 are obtained for smaller atomic numbers of Ln having larger radii of Ln3+. Their oxygen-ion conductivities at 1000 K are predicted to have a similar order of magnitude to that of yttria-stabilized zirconia.

description: We study a finite Larmor radius model used to describe the ions distributions in the core of a toka-mak plasma, that consist in a gyro-kinetic transport equation, coupled with an electro-neutrality equation. Since the last equation do not provide enough regularity on the electric potential, we introduce a simple linear collision operator adapted to the finite Larmor radius approximation. Next we study the two-dimensional dynamics in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic field and prove thanks to the smoothing effects of the collisions and of the gyro-average the global existence of solutions, as well as short time uniqueness and stability.

description: Accurate modeling of the pi-bands of armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) requires correctly reproducing asymmetries in the bulk graphene bands as well as providing a realistic model for hydrogen passivation of the edge atoms. The commonly used single-pz orbital approach fails on both these counts. To overcome these failures we introduce a nearest-neighbor, three orbital per atom p/d tight-binding model for graphene. The parameters of the model are fit to first-principles density-functional theory (DFT) - based calculations as well as to those based on the many-body Green's function and screened-exchange (GW) formalism, giving excellent agreement with the ab initio AGNR bands. We employ this model to calculate the current-voltage characteristics of an AGNR MOSFET and the conductance of rough-edge AGNRs, finding significant differences versus the single-pz model. These results show that an accurate bandstructure model is essential for predicting the performance of graphene-based nanodevices.

description: Complex intermetallic compounds such as transition metal (TM) aluminides are promising alternatives to expensive Pd-based catalysts, in particular for the semi-hydrogenation of alkynes or alkadienes. Here, we compare the gas-phase butadiene hydrogenation performances of o-Al13Co4(100), m-Al13Fe4(010) and m-Al13Ru4(010) surfaces, whose bulk terminated structural models exhibit similar cluster-like arrangements. Moreover, the effect of the surface orientation is assessed through a comparison between o-Al13Co4(100) and o-Al13Co4(010). As a result, the following room-temperature activity order is determined: Al13Co4(100) < Al13Co4(010) < Al13Ru4(010) < Al13Fe4(010). Moreover, Al13Co4(010) is found to be the most active surface at 110°C, and even more selective to butene (100%) than previously investigated Al13Fe4(010). DFT calculations show that the activity and selectivity results can be rationalized through the determination of butadiene and butene adsorption energies; in contrast, hydrogen adsorption energies do not scale with the catalytic activities. Moreover, the calculation of projected densities of states provides an insight into the Al13TM4 surface electronic structure. Isolating the TM active centers within the Al matrix induces a narrowing of the TM d-band, which leads to the high catalytic performances of Al13TM4 compounds.

description: We prove that there exists an interval of time which is uniform in the vanishing viscosity limit and for which the Navier-Stokes equation with Navier boundary condition has a strong solution. This solution is uniformly bounded in a conormal Sobolev space and has only one normal derivative bounded in $L^\infty$. This allows to get the vanishing viscosity limit to the incompressible Euler system from a strong compactness argument.

description: Recognition of glycans of glycoproteins using biotic materials such as antibodies, is challenging due to lack of antigenicity. Polymeric materials suitable for the molecular recognition of glycoproteins have attracted considerable attention. In this study, we aimed to develop abiotic molecular materials for the recognition of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a known biomarker for prostate cancer. We used a non-covalent bonding-based molecular imprinting technique to introduce post-imprinting poly(ethylene glycol)-based capping agent into a low-affinity recognition cavity. Details of the binding properties of these groups were investigated to optimize their affinity and selectivity for PSA. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were prepared using a bottom-up approach based on surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization from a PSA-conjugated sensor chip with a functional monomer bearing carboxy and secondary amine groups as interaction and post-imprinting modification (PIM) sites, respectively. PSA was orientationally conjugated on the sensor chip through diesters between the immobilized 3-fluorophenyl boronic acid and the cis-diol groups of PSA glucans. Treatment with the capping agent selectively inactivated low-affinity recognition cavities while protecting high-affinity cavities with the addition of a low concentration of PSA as a dynamic protection agent. The MIP thickness is critical in the present molecular imprinting, as a value of less than 5 nm can enable high selectivity. We believe that the proposed strategy based on a non-covalent molecular imprinting approach combined with a PIM-based capping treatment provides a novel method for the development of highly sensitive and selective glycoprotein recognition materials for use in biomarker sensing.

Entanglement and quantum phase transition in the one-dimensional anisotropic XY model

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: In this paper the entanglement and quantum phase transition of the anisotropic s=1/2 XY model are studied by using the quantum renormalization group method. By solving the renormalization equations, we get the trivial fixed point and the untrivial fixed point which correspond to the phase of the system and the critical point, respectively. Then the concurrence between two blocks are calculated and it is found that when the number of the iterations of the renormalziation trends infinity, the concurrence develops two staturated values which are associated with two different phases, i.e., Ising-like and spin-fluid phases. We also investigate the first derivative of the concurrence, and find that there exists non-analytic behaviors at the quantum critical point, which directly associate with the divergence of the correlation length. Further insight, the scaling behaviors of the system are analyzed, it is shown that how the maximum value of the first derivative of the concurrence reaches the infinity and how the critical point is touched as the size of the system becomes large.

description: We combine new sensitive, wide-field CO data from the HERACLES survey with ultraviolet and infrared data from GALEX and Spitzer to compare the surface densities of H2, Sigma_H2, and recent star formation rate, Sigma_SFR, over many thousands of positions in 30 nearby disk galaxies. We more than quadruple the size of the galaxy sample compared to previous work and include targets with a wide range of galaxy properties. Even though the disk galaxies in this study span a wide range of properties, we find a strong and approximately linear correlation between Sigma_SFR and Sigma_H2 at our common resolution of 1kpc. This implies a roughly constant median H2 consumption time, tau_H2 = Sigma_H2 / Sigma_SFR, of ~2.35Gyr (including heavy elements) across our sample. At 1kpc resolution, there is only a weak correlation between Sigma_H2 and tau_H2 over the range Sigma_H2~5-100M_sun/pc^2, which is probed by our data. We compile a broad set of literature measurements that have been obtained using a variety of star formation tracers, sampling schemes and physical scales and show that overall, these data yield almost exactly the same results, although with more scatter. We interpret these results as strong, albeit indirect evidence that star formation proceeds in a uniform way in giant molecular clouds in the disks of spiral galaxies.

description: The effort to identify genes with periodic expression during the cell cycle from genome-wide microarray time series data has been ongoing for a decade. However, the lack of rigorous modeling of periodic expression as well as the lack of a comprehensive model for integrating information across genes and experiments has impaired the effort for the accurate identification of periodically expressed genes. To address the problem, we introduce a Bayesian model to integrate multiple independent microarray data sets from three recent genome-wide cell cycle studies on fission yeast. A hierarchical model was used for data integration. In order to facilitate an efficient Monte Carlo sampling from the joint posterior distribution, we develop a novel Metropolis--Hastings group move. A surprising finding from our integrated analysis is that more than 40% of the genes in fission yeast are significantly periodically expressed, greatly enhancing the reported 10--15% of the genes in the current literature. It calls for a reconsideration of the periodically expressed gene detection problem.

Modern Physics and Ancient Faith
Creators: name: Barr, Stephen M.
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2023

description: A considerable amount of public debate and media print has been devoted to the 'war between science and religion.' In his accessible and eminently readable new book, Stephen M. Barr demonstrates that what is really at war with religion is not science itself, but a philosophy called scientific materialism. _Modern Physics and Ancient Faith_ argues that the great discoveries of modern physics are more compatible with the central teachings of Christianity and Judaism about God, the cosmos, and the human soul than with the atheistic viewpoint of scientific materialism.\u000a\u000aScientific materialism grew out of scientific discoveries made from the time of Copernicus up to the beginning of the twentieth century. These discoveries led many thoughtful people to the conclusion that the universe has no cause or purpose, that the human race is an accidental by-product of blind material forces, and that the ultimate reality is matter itself. Barr contends that the revolutionary discoveries of the twentieth century run counter to this line of thought. He uses five of these discoveries-the Big Bang theory, unified field theories, anthropic coincidences, G\00F6 del's Theorem in mathematics, and quantum theory-to cast serious doubt on the materialist's view of the world and to give greater credence to Judeo-Christian claims about God and the universe.\u000a\u000aWritten in clear language, Barr's rigorous and fair text explains modern physics to general readers without oversimplification. Using the insights of modern physics, he reveals that modern scientific discoveries and religious faith are deeply consonant. Anyone with an interest in science and religion will find _Modern Physics and Ancient Faith_ invaluable.\u000a\u000a\u00A9 University of Notre Dame\u000a\u000aCopyright for most content is held by The University of Notre Dame.

description: Polycrystalline samples of FeSe$_{0.5}$Te$_{0.5}$ were synthesized using a conventional solid-state reaction method. The onset of bulk superconductivity transition was confirmed by SQUID magnetometry at 12.5~K. $^{57}$Fe Mössbauer spectra in transmission geometry were recorded at temperatures between 6.0 and 320 K. Both the isomer shift and the total absorption started to drop about $T_c$, indicating a softening of the lattice. The drop is estimated to correspond to at least 60~K from the original Debye temperature $θ_{\rm D}\approx 460$~K. Seebeck measurements indicate that the samples are $n$-type conductors at low temperatures with a cross-over to $p$-type conductivity around 135 K. The zero Seebeck coefficient is seen below $10.6$~K.

Wideband acoustic immittance measures as part of a newborn hearing screening program in Canadian First Nations and Metis, Caucasian and other ethnicity neonates.
Creators: name: Abbott, Lareina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Purpose: There are few data on the prevalence of Otitis Media (OM) in neonates of all ethnicities, especially First Nations and Metis (FNAM) neonates, at birth. There is a need to diagnose type of hearing loss at the time of Newborn Hearing Screening (NHS) to determine prevalence and to refer neonates for timely assessment and intervention. Wideband Acoustic Immittance (WAI) is a viable tool that can aid in the diagnosis of conductive hearing loss (CHL) at time of hearing screening. Design: This cross-sectional study examined the application of WAI measures (Wideband Absorbance (WBA) at Ambient and Tympanometric Peak Pressure (TPP), and Admittance Phase (Yφ) as part of a regular NHS protocol. NHS pass/fail rates, likely diagnoses and WAI measurements in FNAM newborns were compared to newborns of other ethnicities. 213 neonates (426 ears) were recruited from the Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. 382 ears met the inclusion criteria: 42 FNAM, 212 Caucasian, 48 Other Ethnicities, and 80 Undeclared Ethnicity. Results: FNAM neonates had a significantly higher NHS fail rate than Caucasian neonates. The WBA of FNAM neonates was significantly lower than that of neonates of other ethnicities in both NHS pass and fail conditions. WBA was significantly lower for neonates who failed the test battery and who failed Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emission (TEOAE) testing. The difference in WBA at peak pressure was larger than the difference at ambient pressure for neonates who passed or failed a NHS test battery. Yφ was significantly lower in neonates who passed the test battery and who had a likely diagnosis of normal hearing. Conclusions: WBA and Yφ are effective in distinguishing ears with likely CHL from normal hearing ears. Pressurized WBA may be more effective than ambient WBA and Yφ is a promising measure in the diagnosis of CHL. FNAM neonates have a higher NHS fail rate and a greater prevalence of likely CHL. WBA of FNAM neonates is lower than that of other ethnicities. Further research is needed to determine if lower WBA in FNAM neonates indicates a greater prevalence of OM or a difference in middle ear anatomy.

description: Repeated spectroscopic observations of stars in the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) database are used to identify and examine single-lined binary (SB1) candidates. The RAVE latest internal database (VDR3) includes radial velocities, atmospheric and other parameters for approximately quarter million of different stars with little less than 300,000 observations. In the sample of ~20,000 stars observed more than once, 1333 stars with variable radial velocities were identified. Most of them are believed to be SB1 candidates. The fraction of SB1 candidates among stars with several observations is between 10% and 15% which is the lower limit for binarity among RAVE stars. Due to the distribution of time spans between the re-observation that is biased towards relatively short timescales (days to weeks), the periods of the identified SB1 candidates are most likely in the same range. Because of the RAVE's narrow magnitude range most of the dwarf candidates belong to the thin Galactic disk while the giants are part of the thick disk with distances extending to up to a few kpc. The comparison of the list of SB1 candidates to the VSX catalog of variable stars yielded several pulsating variables among the giant population with the radial velocity variations of up to few tens of km/s. There are 26 matches between the catalog of spectroscopic binary orbits (SB9) and the whole RAVE sample for which the given periastron time and the time of RAVE observation were close enough to yield a reliable comparison. RAVE measurements of radial velocities of known spectroscopic binaries are consistent with their published radial velocity curves.

description: The Landau paradigm of classifying phases by broken symmetries was demonstrated to be incomplete when it was realized that different quantum Hall states could only be distinguished by more subtle, topological properties. Today, the role of topology as an underlying description of order has branched out to include topological band insulators, and certain featureless gapped Mott insulators with a topological degeneracy in the groundstate wavefunction. Despite intense focus, very few candidates for these topologically ordered "spin liquids" exist. The main difficulty in finding systems that harbour spin liquid states is the very fact that they violate the Landau paradigm, making conventional order parameters non-existent. Here, we uncover a spin liquid phase in a Bose-Hubbard model on the kagome lattice, and measure its topological order directly via the topological entanglement entropy. This is the first smoking-gun demonstration of a non-trivial spin liquid, identified through its entanglement entropy as a gapped groundstate with emergent Z2 gauge symmetry.

description: The neutrino cooling and gamma heating rates are considered as an important input needed to study the final phases of the evolution of high-mass stars. The weak-interaction mediated processes, namely the $β$-decay and electron capture, significantly change the lepton to baryon ratio and accelerate the contraction of the core. The emission of resulting neutrinos/antineutrinos tends to cool the stellar core. On the other hand, gamma rays are produced because of electron capture and $β$-decay to excited states in daughter nuclei. These gamma rays heat the core and contribute to an increase of entropy which may cause convection to occur.
 In the present work, the weak-interaction heating and cooling rates on a chain of twenty-two isotopes of vanadium having mass in the range $43-64$ have been estimated using the proton-neutron quasiparticle random phase approximation theory. The rates have been computed for the temperature ranging from ($10^{7} - 3 \times 10^{10}$)\;K and for the density range ($10-10^{11}$)\;g/cm$^{3}$. Our calculated neutrino energy loss rates have also been compared with the previously reported rates calculated using other theoretical models. At high stellar temperatures, our rates are larger by 1-2 orders of magnitude as compared to previous results.

description: The ethylene epoxidation is a challenging catalytic process, and development of active and selective catalyst requires profound understanding of its chemical behaviour under reaction conditions. The systematic study on intermetallic compounds in the Ca–Ag system under ethylene epoxidation conditions clearly shows that the character of the oxidation processes on the surface originates from the atomic interactions in the pristine compound. The Ag-rich compounds Ca2Ag7 and CaAg2 undergo oxidation towards fcc Ag and a complex Ca-based support, whereas equiatomic CaAg and the Ca-rich compounds Ca5Ag3 and Ca3Ag in bulk remain stable under harsh ethylene epoxidation conditions. For the latter presence of water vapour in the gas stream leads to noticeable corrosion. Combining the experimental results with the chemical bonding analysis and first-principles calculations, the relationships among the chemical nature of the compounds, their reactivity and catalytic performance towards epoxidation of ethylene are investigated.
The asymmetric radio structure and record jet of giant quasar 4C34.47

description: Giant double-lobed radio source 4C34.47 displays a straight one-sided jet, measuring a record length of 380kpc, in its double-lobed radio structure. Assuming an intrinsically symmetric two-sided jet structure the radio source jet axis must be at least 33 degrees away from the sky plane, that is within 57 degrees from the line of sight. The radio polarization properties indicate that this giant source has largely outgrown the depolarizing halo generally associated with the host galaxies of powerful radio sources. The measured small depolarization asymmetry is nevertheless in accordance with its inferred orientation. All data for this giant radio source are in agreement with its preferred orientation as predicted within the unification scheme for powerful radio sources. Seen under a small aspect angle the radio source is large but not excessively large. The global properties of 4C34.47 do not differ from other giant (old) FR2 radio sources: it is a slowly expanding low-luminosity radio source.

A way of regarding the concurrent role plays by ICT, which has been ruminating the conceptual advancement of both the infrastructure and ICT tools in our society, whether it has been the majority attune component facilitating employment rate or has a major malaise impasses affecting the downplay economic of our nations when not appropriate used, or else as a major weapon tools that deplete major crisis among our youth as a result of high increase of unemployment rate within them and thereby proffer a new digital opportunity. Vividly, ICT dominance in the developing country has not been a profitable tool for users, especially youths seeking employment in the early state of its adoption, and as the major indices enhance the exponential growth of the CIOs/IT directors.

description: Flexible electronics with great functional characteristics have proved to be a stepping stone in the field of wearable devices. Amongst all, gesture sensing techniques have been widely studied for human-machine interfaces. In this paper, we propose a self-powered gesture sensing system attached to the back of the hands, which has the capability of distinguishing hand gestures by measuring the triboelectric nanogenerator output signal. By attaching the sensor on the back of the hand, we can sense the displacement of tendons to detect the gestures. In addition, humidity resistance and durability of the device was tested and validated. Furthermore, we have established a set of rules to define the relationship between gestures and corresponding English letters. Therefore, the proposed sensor can further serve as an electronic sign language translator by converting gestures into words. Finally, we can integrate this system into gloves to enhance the applicability and utility. Overall, we have developed a real time self-powered back-of-hand sensing system which can recognize various hand gestures.

description: Multicolor upconversion luminescence of Er3+ was successfully enhanced by optimizing the interface in dye-coordinated nanoparticles with a core/shell structure. Red and green upconversion emissions of Er3+ were obtained at the interface of oxide nanoparticles via the intramolecular energy transfer from the coordinating squaraine dye with high light-absorption ability, which was more efficient than emissions through the energy transfer from metal ions such as Yb3+. Additionally, CaF2 nanoparticles as a core material minimized the energy loss with nonradiative downward relaxations in Er3+, resulting in the observation of unusual blue upconversion emissions from the upper energy level of Er3+ by nonlaser excitation using a continuous-wave (CW) Xe lamp at an excitation power of 1.2 mW/cm2.
