The municipal subdivision approval process in metropolitan Vancouver
Creators: name: Young, Gary Arthur
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The supply of serviced building lots in Metropolitan Vancouver is falling short of the demand for serviced building lots for the purpose of residential construction. The amount of time required for the process of approval of applications for major subdivisions of raw land into serviced residential building lots is an important factor which affects the rate of supply of serviced building lots within a municipality. It is the purpose of this paper to examine the municipal subdivision approval process in a sample of metropolitan Vancouver municipalities to determine whether the time required for approval of applications for subdivision of raw land into serviced building lots is increasing in these municipalities hence creating a delay in the supply of residential building lots. This problem was analyzed by collecting data to identify the market conditions of supply and demand for residential dwelling units in Metropolitan Vancouver by assembling available information regarding dwelling unit starts, population growth and income levels. Major developers, consulting engineers, municipal planners and municipal engineers were interviewed and processes, charts and tables were drawn up where possible indicating: (1) the time required for the processing of applications in four Metropolitan Vancouver municipalities in 1971, 1972 and 1973, (2) the actual subdivision approval process in these municipalities, (3) significant constraints relating to each procedure. All of the significant components of the procedures of the four municipalities were assembled into three basic procedures: a general subdivision approval procedure, a procedure involving a zoning amendment, and a procedure involving land use contracts. These procedures were closely analyzed and recommendations were made regarding solutions to problems found. It was found that the time required for approval of applications had increased in some municipalities between 1971 and 1973 resulting in a delay in the supply of building lots produced in these municipalities. Land Use Contracts were found to be a major constraint operating within the approval process wherever they were used. The financial position of municipalities and the decision making process of municipalities are cited as possible external factors which could operate as a constraint on the operation of the municipal approval process and are suggested areas of future research.

description: Can epistemology be naturalized? The question has more than one sense. There are many forms of both the naturalistic stance and its denial in relation to different topics and by means of different strategies. Only some of them are instantiated in the existing literature. After a taxonomy of the range of possible forms of naturalism and anti-naturalism, the paper suggests an emergentist view which shifts the issue from psychology to cosmology.

Jamming and growth of dynamical heterogeneities versus depth for granular heap flow

description: We report on grain dynamics versus depth for steady-state gravity-driven flow of grains along a heap formed between two parallel sidewalls. Near the surface the flow is steady and fast, while far below there is no flow whatsoever; therefore, a jamming transition occurs where depth is an effective control parameter for setting the distance from the transition. As seen previously, the time-averaged velocity profile along the sidewall exhibits a nearly exponential decay vs depth. Using speckle-visiblility spectroscopy (SVS), we find that velocity fluctuations grow relative to the average on approach to jamming. Introducing an image-based order parameter and the variance in its temporal decay at a given depth, we also characterize the spatially heterogeneous nature of the dynamics and find that it increases on approach to jamming. In particular, the important time and length scales for dynamical heterogeneities are found to grow almost exponentially as a function of depth. These dynamical changes occur without noticeable change in structure, and are compared to behavior found by experiment and simulation elsewhere in order to test the universality of the jamming concept. In particular we find that the size of the heterogeneities scales as the inertia number raised to the -1/3 power, in agreement with two recent simulations.

description: AR Sco is a binary system that contains a white and red dwarf. The rotation rate of the white dwarf has been observed to slow down, analogous to rotation-powered radio pulsars; it has thus been dubbed a "white dwarf pulsar". We previously fit the traditional radio pulsar rotating vector model to the linearly polarised optical data from this source, constraining the system geometry as well as the white dwarf mass. Using a much more extensive dataset, we now explore the application of the same model to binary phase-resolved optical polarimetric data, thought to be the result of non-thermal synchrotron radiation, and derive the magnetic inclination angle $α$ and the observer angle $ζ$ at different orbital phases. We obtain a $\sim 10^{\circ}$ variation in $α$ and $\sim 30^{\circ}$ variation in $ζ$ over the orbital period. The variation patterns in these two parameters is robust, regardless of the binning and epoch of data used. We speculate that the observer is detecting radiation from an asymmetric emission region that is a stable structure over several orbital periods. The success of this simple model lastly implies that the pitch angles of the particles are small and the pulsed, non-thermal emission originates relatively close to the white dwarf surface.

A dynamic vehicle-scheduling problem
Creators: name: Szeto, Caroline
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study applies Doll's formal decision rules to solve a dynamic vehicle-scheduling problem provided by ALLTRANS EXPRESS LTD. ( Vancouver ). Computer simulation is used as the research tool. The computer simulated results are compared with ALLTRANS solutions based on the performance measures of mean travel time per customer, mean and standard deviation of time to serve a customer, and mean and standard deviation of delivery time per customer. Doll's decision rules contain two scheduling heuristics, i e , closest customer heuristic and time saved heuristic, and a set of three dispatching decision rules associated with parameters ME, MB and S. It is found that Doll's decision rule methods do not improve the solutions in terms of reducing travel time per customer but can produce higher service quality in terms of reducing the time to satisfy a customer requirement after its occurrence. The general performance of Doll's decision rules on this specific situation indicates that: (1) The time saved heuristic is more preferable in solving this problem. (2) Both ME and MB can affect the performance measures described above, and combinations of these two parameters can control the trade-off between the mean travel time per customer and mean time to satisfy a customer request after its occurrence. (3) Geographical restriction which depends basically on the design of sectoring mechanism ( S ) can affect all five performance measures. Further research should be done on testing the effects of the within sector condition ( S ) of the dispatching decision rules, with emphasis on the design of a specific sectoring mechanism. Also, with a larger size problem, further studies should be performed on the use of combinations of the dispatching decision rules to control the trade-off between mean travel time per customer and mean times to satisfy a customer request after its occurrence.

description: Deformed generalized gauge groups, whch were created from physical considerations and made it possible to clarify some long-standing problems in physics, such as the problem of motion and the problem of the energy of the gravitational field, simultaneously carried out the implementation of the Klein's Erlangen program for spaces with variable curvature, and for Riemannian spaces even in two different ways. In this paper, this issue is considered from a geometric point of view and these two methods of group-theoretical description of Riemannian spaces are reconciled. The paper deals with the canonical deformed group of diffeomorphisms with a given length scale which describes the motion of unit scales in a Riemannian space. This allows one to measure the lengths of arbitrary curves implementing the length principle which was laid by B. Riemann at the foundation of geometry. We present a method of univocal extension of this group to a group which contains gauge rotations of vectors (the group of parallel transports) whose transformations leave unchanged the lengths of vectors and the corners between them, implementing for Riemannian spaces the Klein's principle of equality and matching both principles of the foundations of geometry, thus overcoming the Riemann-Klein antagonism.

description: Under natural spectral stability assumptions motivated by previous investigations of the associated spectral stability problem, we determine sharp $L^p$ estimates on the linearized solution operator about a multidimensional planar periodic wave of a system of conservation laws with viscosity, yielding linearized $L^1\cap L^p\to L^p$ stability for all $p \ge 2$ and dimensions $d \ge 1$ and nonlinear $L^1\cap H^s\to L^p\cap H^s$ stability and $L^2$-asymptotic behavior for $p\ge 2$ and $d\ge 3$. The behavior can in general be rather complicated, involving both convective (i.e., wave-like) and diffusive effects.

description: In this paper we report the first identification of jellyfish galaxies in the Perseus cluster (Abell 426). We identified four jellyfish galaxies (LEDA 2191078, MCG +07-07-070, UGC 2654, UGC 2665) within the central $2^\circ \times 2^\circ$ ($2.6\,\mathrm{Mpc} \times 2.6\,\mathrm{Mpc}$) of Perseus based on the presence of one-sided radio continuum tails that were detected at $144\,\mathrm{MHz}$ by the LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR). The observed radio tails, as well as the orientation of morphological features in the rest-frame optical, are consistent with these four galaxies being impacted by ram pressure stripping as they orbit through the Perseus intracluster medium. By combining the LOFAR imaging at 144 MHz with 344 MHz imaging from the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, we derived spectral indices for the disks and the stripped tails of these jellyfish galaxies. We show that the spectral indices over the galaxy disks are quite flat, while the indices of the stripped tails are substantially steeper. We also identified a number of compact $\mathrm{Hα+ [NII]}$ sources with narrowband imaging from the Isaac Newton Telescope. These sources are brighter along the leading side of the galaxy (i.e., opposite to the direction of the stripped tail), which is consistent with ram pressure induced star formation. Lastly, consistent with previous works in other clusters, we find that these jellyfish galaxies show enhanced radio luminosities for their observed star formation rates. Given the small distance to the Perseus cluster ($D \sim 70\,\mathrm{Mpc}$, $1'' \simeq 340\,\mathrm{pc}$), these galaxies are excellent candidates for multiwavelength follow-up observations to probe the impact of ram pressure stripping on galaxy star formation at subkiloparsec scales.

description: The {\it Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer} ({\it FUSE}) has allowed precise determinations of the column densities of molecular hydrogen ($\Hmol$) in Galactic lines of sight with a wide range of pathlengths and extinction properties. However, survey studies of lines of sight with greater extinction have been mostly restricted to the low-$J$ states (lower total angular momentum) in which most molecular hydrogen is observed. This paper presents a survey of column densities for the molecular hydrogen in states of greater rotational excitation ($J \geq 2$) in Galactic lines of sight with $\log{\NHmol} \gtrsim 20$. This study is comprehensive through the highest excited state detectable in each line of sight. J=5 is observed in every line of sight, and we detect J=7 in four lines of sight, J=8 in one line of sight, and vibrationally excited $\Hmol$ in two lines of sight. We compared the apparent $b$-values and velocity offsets of the higher-$J$ states relative to the dominant low-$J$ states and we found no evidence of any trends that might provide insight into the formation of higher-$J$ $\Hmol$, although these results are the most affected by the limits of the {\it FUSE} resolution. We also derive excitation temperatures based on the column densities of the different states. We confirm that at least two distinct temperatures are necessary to adequately describe these lines of sight, and that more temperatures are probably necessary. Total $\Hmol$ column density is known to be correlated with other molecules; we explore if correlations vary as a function of $J$ for several molecules, most importantly CH and CH$^+$. Finally, we briefly discuss interpretations of selected lines of sight by comparing them to models computed using the Meudon PDR code.

description: We report the effects of low-temperature postannealing on the structural and superconducting properties of the recently discovered Ca-free double-layered cuprate, Sr$_2$SrCu$_2$O$_{4+y}$F$_{2-y}$. Although the as-synthesized sample prepared under high pressure has a tetragonal structure with a rock-salt-type blocking layer (the so-called $T$-phase), we found that the symmetry of the structure lowered to that of an orthorhombic system when annealed with CuF$_2$. The structural refinements reveal that such a topochemical reaction leads not only to the removal of excess O$^{2-}$ from the apical site but also to the intercalation of extra F$^-$ into the interstitial site. The orthorhombic phase exhibits bulk superconductivity at a critical temperature of 107 K, which is significantly higher than that of the $T$-phase ($\sim$50 K). Meanwhile, the $T$-phase turns into another structure possessing a fluorite-type blocking layer without apical fluorine (known as the $T^\prime$-phase) by annealing without CuF$_2$. Density functional theory calculations show that the $T^\prime$-phase is more stable than the $T$-phase. This is the first report on the formation of a $T^\prime$-type double-layered cuprate. Furthermore, the structural stability of the three phases of Sr$_2$SrCu$_2$O$_{4+y}$F$_{2-y}$ is discussed in terms of lattice matching between the blocking and conducting layers.

description: Phenomenon of foam and emulsion jamming at low shear rates is explained by considering the dynamics of thinning in the transient film, formed between the neighboring bubbles and drops. After gradually thinning down to a critical thickness, these films undergo instability transition and thin stepwise, forming the so-called "black films", which are only several nanometers thick and, thereby, lead to stronger adhesion between the dispersed particles. Theoretical analysis shows that such film thickness instability occurs only if the contact time between the bubbles/drops in sheared foam/emulsion is sufficiently long, which corresponds to sufficiently low (critical) rate of shear. Explicit expression for this critical rate is proposed and compared to experimental data.

description: In a number of recent articles in this journal F. Cardone and collaborators have claimed the observation of several striking nuclear phenomena which they attribute to "piezonuclear reactions". One such claim [Phys. Lett. A 373 (2009) 1956] is that subjecting a solution of 228Th to cavitation leads to a "transformation" of thorium nuclei that is 104 times faster than the normal nuclear decay for this isotope. In a "Comment" [Phys. Lett. A 373 (2009) 3795] to the thorium work, we have criticized the evidence provided for this claim. In a "Reply" [Phys. Lett. A 373 (2009) 3797] Cardone et al. answer only some minor points but avoid addressing the real issue. The information provided in their Reply displays a worrying lack of control of their experimental situation and the data they put forward as evidence for their claims. We point out several shortcomings and errors in the described experimental preparations, set-up and reporting, as well as in the data analysis. We conclude that the evidence presented by Cardone et al. is insufficient to justify their claims of accelerated thorium decay (by "piezonuclear reactions" or otherwise). We also briefly discuss the role of the physics community (peer review) in the evaluation of new discoveries and claims.

Melting Instantons, Domain Walls, and Large N

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Monte Carlo studies of $CP^{N-1}$ sigma models have shown that the structure of topological charge in these models undergoes a sharp transition at $N=N_c\approx 4$. For $NN_c$ it is dominated by extended, thin, 1-dimensionally coherent membranes of topological charge, which can be interpreted as domain walls between discrete quasi-stable vacua. These vacua differ by a unit of background electric flux. The transition can be identified as the delocalization of topological charge, or "instanton melting," a phenomenon first suggested by Witten to resolve the conflict between instantons and large $N$ behavior. Implications for $QCD$ are discussed.

Antropologia filosofica e realismo politico: gli Stati Uniti e la Guerra Fredda
Creators: name: Acuti, Elena
Publisher: name: Annali del Dipartimento di Filosofia
Year: 2010

description: This paper presents the development of the US political realism from the period between the two World Wars to the Cold War era included. It underlines how the US realist international theory developed, in opposition to the liberal thought, from the pessimistic anthropological premises rooted in the European classical political thought. Then the paper analyzes the theoretical impact of the nuclear threat on the US realist reflection about human nature in order to inquire tentative developments of this tradition of thought.

description: When 13th century scholars tried to inquire about how a soul separated from the body may suffer from the infernal hellfire, they found themselves facing a very convoluted theme, straddling the borders between theology and philosophy. This paper analyses Siger of Brabant’s position compared with that of Thomas Aquinas and the coeval theological tradition, and shows how this topic may provide a key to further understanding the Parisian Condemnations of 1270 and 1277, as well as the artistae’s epistemological program.

Investigation of the goals of the laboratory programme in secondary school chemistry courses in British Columbia
Creators: name: Griffiths, Stephen John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In 1965 and 1966 a modified version of the Chem Study programme was introduced into Grades 11 and 12 in British Columbia secondary schools, to replace Chem 90 and Chem 91, which were based on Dull, Brookes and Metcalfe's text, Modern Chemistry. As a result of this change, a traditional, text-book centred course was replaced by a contemporary laboratory-centred course. In Chem Study, laboratory experience replaces the text as the primary source of information and the information gathered in the laboratory is used as the basis for the development of theoretical concepts. It is considered most important by Chem Study that the teacher recognises the goals of the laboratory programme and that he works towards these goals in practice. In addition, it is necessary for both teacher and student to recognise the relationship existing between laboratory observations and the development of theory if the major goals of the course are to be realised. This thesis describes an attempt to determine whether British Columbia secondary school chemistry teachers are indeed aware of the goals of the laboratory programme and whether they and their students think these goals are being achieved. Q-analysis procedures and techniques were used to gather and analyse the data. Three groups of interested people, namely, specialists, chemistry teachers and students were requested to describe the goals of the laboratory programme by rank-ordering a comprehensive list of items, each describing one goal of laboratory work. The items, which were gathered from a wide variety of sources, were arranged by each subject into a predetermined (modified normal) distribution pattern. The item scores for each subject were correlated and the correlation matrix factor analysed. Each factor identified by the computer programme represented a group of persons with similar viewpoints. In addition a hierarchy of item acceptance was established for each factor on the basis of item z-scores. This enabled the viewpoint of each factor and the differences between viewpoints to be described. It has been shown that teachers are aware of the goals of the Provincial Chem Study programme and that they believe that they work towards these goals in practice. However, students perceive the priorities of the goals of the laboratory course to be different from those described by the teacher. The differences that exist between the viewpoints of teachers and students are in part differences in emphasis and in part differences in substance.

description: A sectoral perspective can help the Global Stocktake (GST) to effectively achieve its objective to inform the Parties in enhancing subsequent NDCs and in enhancing international cooperation. Specifically, granular and actionable sectoral lessons, grounded in country-driven assessments, should be identified and elaborated. To be effective, conversations on sectoral transformations need to synthesise key challenges and opportunities identified in the national analyses and link them to international enablers; focus on systemic interdependencies, involve diverse actors, and be thoroughly prepared including by pre-scoping points of convergences and divergence across transformations.

We specifically recommend that the co-facilitators of the Technical Dialogue use their (limited) mandate to facilitate an effective conversation on sectoral transformations e.g. by organising dedicated informal seminars in between formal negotiation sessions; key systemic transformations necessary to achieve net-zero by mid-century should be spelled out and included in the final decision or political declaration of the GST; and the political outcome of the GST should mandate follow-up processes at the regional level and encourage national-level conversations to translate the collective messages from GST into actionable and sector-specific policy recommendations.

description: In vivo assessment of cancer and precise location of altered tissues at initial stages of molecular disorders are important diagnostic challenges. Positronium is copiously formed in the free molecular spaces in the patient's body during positron emission tomography (PET). The positronium properties vary according to the size of inter- and intramolecular voids and the concentration of molecules in them such as, e.g., molecular oxygen, O2; therefore, positronium imaging may provide information about disease progression during the initial stages of molecular alterations. Current PET systems do not allow acquisition of positronium images. This study presents a new method that enables positronium imaging by simultaneous registration of annihilation photons and deexcitation photons from pharmaceuticals labeled with radionuclides. The first positronium imaging of a phantom built from cardiac myxoma and adipose tissue is demonstrated. It is anticipated that positronium imaging will substantially enhance the specificity of PET diagnostics.

Ram pressure stripping of halo gas in disk galaxies: Implications on galactic star formation in different environments

description: We numerically investigate evolution of gaseous halos around disk galaxies in different environments ranging from small groups to rich clusters in order to understand galaxy evolution in these environments. Our simulations self-consistently incorporate effects of ram pressure of intergalactic medium (IGM) on disk and halo gas of galaxies and hydrodynamical interaction between disk and halo gas so that mass fractions of halos gas stripped by ram pressure of IGM (F_strip) can be better estimated. We mainly investigate how F_strip depends on total masses of their host environments (M_host}), galactic masses (M_gal), densities and temperature of IGM (T_IGM and rho_IGM, respectively), relative velocities between IGM and galaxies (V_r), and physical properties of disks (e.g., gas mass fraction). We find that typically 60-80% of halo gas can be efficiently stripped from Milky Way-type disk galaxies by ram pressure in clusters with M_host 10^{14} M_sun We also find that F_strip depends on M_host such that F_strip is higher for larger M_host. Furthermore it is found that F_strip can be higher in disk galaxies with smaller M_gal for a given environment. Our simulations demonstrate that the presence of disk gas can suppress ram pressure stripping of halo gas owing to hydrodynamical interaction between halo and disk gas. Ram pressure stripping of halo gas is found to be efficient (i.e., F_strip>0.5) even in small and/or compact groups, if rho_IGM ~ 10^5 M_sun/kpc^3 and V_r ~ 400 km/s. Based on the derived radial distributions of remaining halo gas after ram pressure stripping, we propose that truncation of star formation after halo gas stripping can occur outside-in in disk galaxies.

A differentially rotating disc in a high-mass protostellar system

description: A strong signature of a circumstellar disc around a high-mass protostar has been inferred from high resolution methanol maser observations in NGC7538-IRS1 N. This interpretation has however been challenged with a bipolar outflow proposed as an alternative explanation. We compare the two proposed scenarios for best consistency with the observations. Using a newly developed formalism we model the optical depth of the maser emission at each observed point in the map and LOS velocity for the two scenarios. We find that if the emission is symmetric around a central peak in both space and LOS velocity then it has to arise from an edge-on disc in sufficiently fast differential rotation. Disc models successfully fit ~100 independent measurement points in position-velocity space with 4 free parameters to an overall accuracy of 3-4%. Solutions for Keplerian rotation require a central mass of at least 4 solar masses. Close to best-fitting models are obtained if Keplerian motion is assumed around a central mass equaling ~30 solar masses as inferred from other observations. In contrast we find that classical bipolar outflow models cannot fit the data, although could be applicable in other sources. Our results strongly favour the differentially rotating disc hypothesis to describe the main feature of the 12.2 (and 6.7) GHz methanol maser emission in NGC7538 IRS1 N. Furthermore, for Keplerian rotation around a ~30 solar masses protostar we predict the position and velocity at which tangentially amplified masers should be detected in high dynamic range observations.

description: Fewer-qubit quantum logic gate, serving as a basic unit for constructing universal multiqubit gates, has been widely applied in quantum computing and quantum information. However, traditional constructions for fewer-qubit gates often utilize a multi-pulse protocol which inevitably suffers from serious intrinsic errors during the gate execution. In this article, we report an optimal model about universal two- and three-qubit CNOT gates mediated by excitation to Rydberg states with easily-accessible van der Waals interactions. This gate depends on a global optimization to implement amplitude and phase modulated pulses via genetic algorithm, which can facilitate the gate operation with fewer optical pulses. Compared to conventional multi-pulse piecewise schemes, our gate can be realized by simultaneous excitation of atoms to the Rydberg states, saving the time for multi-pulse switching at different spatial locations. Our numerical simulations show that a single-pulse two(three)-qubit CNOT gate is possibly achieved with a fidelity of 99.23$\%$(90.39$\%$) for two qubits separated by 7.10 $μ$m when the fluctuation of Rydberg interactions is excluded. Our work is promising for achieving fast and convenient multiqubit quantum computing in the study of neutral-atom quantum technology.
