description: This paper considers a setting in which the acquisition of human capital entails a change of location in social space that causes individuals to revise their comparison groups. Skill levels are viewed as occupational groups, and moving up the skill ladder by acquiring additional human capital, which in itself is rewarding, leads to a shift in the individual’s inclination to compare himself with a different, and on average better-paid, comparison group, which in itself is penalizing. The paper sheds new light on the dynamics of human capital formation, and suggests novel policy interventions to encourage human capital formation in the aggregate and, at the same time, reduce inter-group income inequality.

description: We present radial velocities for 38 low-mass candidate members of the sigma Orionis young group. We have measured their radial velocities by cross-correlation of high resolution (R~6000) AF2/WYFFOS spectra of the gravity sensitive NaI doublet at 8183, 8195Angstroms. The total sample contained 117 objects of which 54 have sufficient signal-to-noise to detect NaI at an equivalent width of 3Angstroms, however we only detect NaI in 38 of these. This implies that very low-mass members of this young group display weaker NaI absorption than similarly aged objects in the Upper Scorpius OB association. We develop a technique to assess membership using radial velocities with a range of uncertainties that does not bias the selection when large uncertainties are present. The resulting membership probabilities are used to assess the issue of exclusion in photometric selections, and we find that very few members are likely to be excluded by such techniques. We also assess the level of contamination in the expected pre-main sequence region of colour-magnitude space brighter than I = 17. We find that contamination by non-members in the expected PMS region of the colour-magnitude diagram is small. We conclude that although radial velocity alone is insufficient to confirm membership, high signal-to-noise observations of the NaI doublet provide the opportunity to use the strength of NaI absorption in concert with radial velocities to asses membership down to the lowest masses, where Lithium absorption no longer distinguishes youth.

description: The structure of the three-boson bound state in Minkowski space is studied for a model with contact interaction. The Faddeev-Bethe-Salpeter equation is solved both in Minkowski and Euclidean spaces. The results are in fair agreement for comparable quantities, like the transverse amplitude obtained when the longitudinal constituent momenta of the light-front valence wave function are integrated out. The Minkowski space solution is obtained numerically by using a recently proposed method based on the direct integration over the singularities of the propagators and interaction kernel of the four-dimensional integral equation. The complex singular structure of the Faddeev components of the Bethe-Salpeter vertex function for space and time-like momenta in an example of a Borromean system is investigated in detail. Furthermore, the transverse amplitude is studied as a mean to access the double-parton transverse momentum distribution. Following that, we show that the two-body short-range correlation contained in the valence wave function is evidenced when the pair has a large relative momentum in a back-to-back configuration, where one of the Faddeev components of the Bethe-Salpeter amplitude dominates over the others. In this situation a power-law behavior is derived and confirmed numerically.

description: We present the results of our HI survey of six loose groups of galaxies analogous to the Local Group. The survey was conducted using the Parkes telescope and the Australia Telescope Compact Array to produce a census of all the gas-rich galaxies and analogs to the high-velocity clouds (HVCs) within these groups down to M(HI) < 10^7 M(sun) as a test of models of galaxy formation. We present the HI mass function and halo mass function of the loose groups and show that they are consistent with those of the Local Group. We discuss the possible role of HVCs in solving the ``missing satellite'' problem and discuss the implications of our observations for models of galaxy formation.

description: Using the continued-fraction method we solve the Caldeira-Leggett master equation in the phase-space (Wigner) representation to study Quantum ratchets. Broken spatial symmetry, irreversibility and periodic forcing allows for a net current in these systems. We calculate this current as a function of the force under adiabatic conditions. Starting from the classical limit we make the system quantal. In the quantum regime tunnel events and over-barrier wave reflection phenomena modify the classical result. Finally, using the phase-space formalism we give some insights about the decoherence in these systems.

description: Nowadays, digital news articles are widely available, published by various editors and often written in different languages. This large volume of diverse and unorganized information makes human reading very difficult or almost impossible. This leads to a need for algorithms able to arrange high amount of multilingual news into stories. To this purpose, we extend previous works on Topic Detection and Tracking, and propose a new system inspired from newsLens. We process articles per batch, looking for monolingual local topics which are then linked across time and languages. Here, we introduce a novel "replaying" strategy to link monolingual local topics into stories. Besides, we propose new fine tuned multilingual embedding using SBERT to create crosslingual stories. Our system gives monolingual state-of-the-art results on dataset of Spanish and German news and crosslingual state-of-the-art results on English, Spanish and German news.

description: For decades, rapid urban expansion has led to concerns over the loss of cultivated land in rural China. This contrasts sharply with another salient feature of the Chinese land policy reform landscape that has gone on largely unnoticed - the addition of newly cultivated land in China through land development has consistently exceeded land conversion. In a model featuring fiscal decentralization, local governments as custodians of land use and development, along with a land development allowance policy instituted in 1998, we show that a land development allowance policy can harness the forces of urban expansion to encourage agricultural land development.

description: We study the renormalization group equations following from the Hopf algebra of graphs. Vertex functions are treated as vectors in dual to the Hopf algebra space. The RG equations on such vertex functions are equivalent to RG equations on individual Feynman integrals. The solution to the RG equations may be represented as an exponent of the beta-function. We explicitly show that the exponent of the one-loop beta function enables one to find the coefficients in front of the leading logarithms for individual Feynman integrals. The same results are obtained in parquet approximation.

Popular American radio dramas
Creators: name: Redfern, Joanna Maureen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis concerns itself with the popular radio dramas of America in the early days of radio (1920s - 1950s). Popular radio dramas were heard during the peak hours of American radio. They appealed to the largest audience with their social and moral relevance and were sponsored by a variety of companies and products. The distinction is made between these radio dramas and those that were considered "serious". As well, a brief discussion occurs as to their relationship with the radio dramas of the BBC. The questions analyzed within this thesis concern the text of American radio dramas. Unlike those of the BBC, American radio dramas have not been examined as readable texts for two reasons - their lack of availability and their low position in the hierarchy of literature. What this thesis seeks to do is present American radio dramas as readable texts that elicit a similar, though not identical, experience to listening. To accomplish this, two evaluative criteria are employed - cultural indicators and radio theory. The first explores the impact of radio on the culture of the time, considering questions of liveness, escapism and imagination. The second addresses the ways in which radio functions and if it is indeed a blind medium. Radio theorists examine the codes of radio - words, music, silence and noise. Both cultural research and radio theory are applied to the sound recording and text of the American radio drama to be examined, the Suspense mystery play "The House in Cypress Canyon" originally presented in 1946. An analysis ensues that strives to answer the question, "is reading the same as listening?"

description: We present predictions for the angular correlation function and redshift distribution for SHADES, the SCUBA HAlf-Degree Extragalactic Survey, which will yield a sample of around 300 sub-mm sources in the 850 micron waveband in two separate fields. Complete and unbiased photometric redshift information on these sub-mm sources will be derived by combining the SCUBA data with i) deep radio imaging already obtained with the VLA, ii) guaranteed-time Spitzer data at mid-infrared wavelengths, and iii) far-infrared maps to be produced by BLAST, the Balloon-borne Large-Aperture Sub-millimeter Telescope. Predictions for the redshift distribution and clustering properties of the final anticipated SHADES sample have been computed for a wide variety of models, each constrained to fit the observed number counts. Since we are dealing with around 150 sources per field, we use the sky-averaged angular correlation function to produce a more robust fit of a power-law shape w(theta)=(theta/A)^{-delta} to the model data. Comparing the predicted distributions of redshift and of the clustering amplitude A and slope delta, we find that models can be constrained from the combined SHADES data with the expected photometric redshift information.

description: We investigate phase coherent ballistic transport through antidot lattices in the generic case where the classical phase space has both regular and chaotic components. It is shown that the conductivity fluctuations have a non-Gaussian distribution, and that their moments have a power-law dependence on a semiclassical parameter, with fractional exponents. These exponents are obtained from bifurcating periodic orbits in the semiclassical approximation. They are universal in situations where sufficiently long orbits contribute.

description: Cyclic µ-conotoxin PIIIA, a potent blocker of skeletal muscle voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.4, is a 22mer peptide stabilized by three disulfide bonds. Combining electrophysiological measurements with molecular docking and dynamic simulations based on NMR solution structures, we investigated the 15 possible 3-disulfide-bonded isomers of µ-PIIIA to relate their blocking activity at NaV1.4 to their disulfide connectivity. In addition, three µ-PIIIA mutants derived from the native disulfide isomer, in which one of the disulfide bonds was omitted (C4-16, C5-C21, C11-C22), were generated using a targeted protecting group strategy and tested using the aforementioned methods. The 3-disulfide-bonded isomers had a range of different conformational stabilities, with highly unstructured, flexible conformations with low or no channel-blocking activity, while more constrained molecules preserved 30% to 50% of the native isomer’s activity. This emphasizes the importance and direct link between correct fold and function. The elimination of one disulfide bond resulted in a significant loss of blocking activity at NaV1.4, highlighting the importance of the 3-disulfide-bonded architecture for µ-PIIIA. µ-PIIIA bioactivity is governed by a subtle interplay between an optimally folded structure resulting from a specific disulfide connectivity and the electrostatic potential of the conformational ensemble.

description: In the search for an adequate set of indicators to measure the level of pro-rural aspirations of Local Governments (LG), the main existing approaches to endogenous development have been examined. However, the conclusion must be that none of them seem to fit the needs completely. For this reason, a new index, the Municipal Rural-Sensitive Index (MRSI), has been developed, representing the base for the Rural Sensitive Evaluation Model (RSEM). The MRSI integrates the key features of the LEADER (Liaison Entre Actions de Développement Rural) philosophy, consisting of 41 rural-sensitive indicators, grouped into 3 categories and 7 sub-categories. The resulting MRSI scores allow a quick comparison between LGs, show changes over time and assists in establishing a framework for institutional and guided rural development advancing towards set standards. This paper outlines the development of the RSEM and methods of use, including the calculation methodology. It also shows the main features of the RSEM as demonstrated from its application to test cases.

description: In contrast to bulk materials, nanoscale crystal growth is critically influenced by size- and shape-dependent properties. However, it is challenging to decipher how stoichiometry, in the realm of mixed-valence elements, can act to control physical properties, especially when complex bonding is implicated by short and long-range ordering of structural defects. Here, solution-grown iron-oxide nanocrystals (NCs) of the pilot wustite system are found to convert into iron-deficient rock-salt and ferro-spinel sub-domains, but attain a surprising tetragonally distorted local structure. Cationic vacancies within chemically uniform NCs are portrayed as the parameter to tweak the underlying properties. These lattice imperfections are shown to produce local exchange-anisotropy fields that reinforce the nanoparticles magnetization and overcome the influence of finite-size effects. The concept of atomic-scale defect control in subcritical size NCs, aspires to become a pathway to tailor-made properties with improved performance for hyperthermia heating over defect-free NCs.

description: We investigate the dynamics of a strong first-order quark-hadron transition driven by cubic interaction via homogeneous bubble nucleation in the Friedberg-Lee model. The one-loop effective thermodynamics potential of the model and the critical bubble profiles have been calculated at different temperatures and chemical potentials. By taking the temperature and the chemical potential as the variables, the evolutions of the surface tension, the typical radius of the critical bubble and the shift in the coarse-grained free energy in the presence of a nucleation bubble are obtained and the limit on the reliability of the thin-wall approximation is also addressed accordingly. Our results are compared to those obtained for a weak first-order quark-hadron phase transition, especially the spinodal decomposition is relevant.

The spatial pooling purpose is to combine neighbouring descriptors to obtain a single descriptor for a given region (local or global). The resultant combined vector must be as discriminant as possible, in other words, must contain relevant information, while removing irrelevant and confusing details. Maximum and average are the most common aggregation functions used in the pooling step. To improve the aggregation of relevant information without degrading their discriminative power for image classification, we introduce a simple but effective scheme based on Ordered Weighted Average (OWA) aggregation operators. We present a method to learn the weights of the OWA aggregation operator in a Bag-of-Words framework and in Convolutional Neural Networks, and provide an extensive evaluation showing that OWA based pooling outperforms classical aggregation operators.

description: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in North America and Europe for both men and women. In order to improve the survival rate of lung cancer, early detection and treatment approaches need to be developed. Markers of genetic instability in preinvasive stages will facilitate treatment design. Conventional techniques used to identify genomic areas of instability such as microsatellite analysis and comparative genomic hybridization require amounts of DNA that exceed the yield from preinvasive lesions. In our laboratory, we have developed a PCR-based genome scanning method called scanning of microdissected archival lung lesions (SMALL)-PCR in order to detect recurrent genomic alterations. DNA was isolated from microdissected formalin fixed paraffin embedded squamous cell carcinomas, preinvasive stages and normal lung samples. Following whole genome screening with SMALL-PCR , altered genomic segments were cloned, sequenced and localized to chromosomal regions and the known genes within these regions were identified. One region identified by SMALL-PCR was investigated by fluorescent in situ hybridization and loss of heterozygosity to verify the findings of SMALL-PCR. The expression levels of selected genes were evaluated by reverse transcription-PCR using a panel of squamous cell lung carcinomas and paired normal samples from the same patient. Expression of a selected gene was evaluated in a developing mouse embryo as well as from lungs dissected from different embryonic stages. Attempts were made to investigate protein expression by immunohistochemistry. Sixty-four normal, preinvasive stages and tumour DNA samples originating from 16 patients were analyzed by SMALL-PCR. Scanning the genome using SMALL-PCR identified six recurrent chromosomal abnormalities detected in multiple patients. Four of the regions contain genes belonging to or interacting with the Wnt signaling pathway. Microsatellite analysis confirmed genomic instability at one of the regions, 11ql4.2 , discovered by SMALL-PCR. Expression analysis offzd4, a gene near the SMALL-PCR alteration, verified a statistically significant altered level of expression in tumour samples. Another region, 9q21.33 contained 2 genes that were evaluated for expression levels in tumour samples compared to normal samples, dapk and gasl were both differentially expressed when normalized against gapdh expression levels. Only dapk was differentially expressed in tumour samples when using B-actin for normalization. fzd4 expression was confirmed in the developing embryo at different time points. Expression offzd4 was also evident in lungs dissected from mice embryos as early as 11.5 days post coitum. Genome wide scanning using SMALL-PCR has identified recurring chromosomal alterations in premalignant and malignant lesions of the lung. These alterations point to the involvement of important developmental signaling pathways in the progression of lung cancer.

description: We use our recent electric dipole moment (EDM) measurement data to constrain the possibility that the HfF$^+$ EDM oscillates in time due to interactions with candidate dark matter axion-like particles (ALPs). We employ a Bayesian analysis method which accounts for both the look-elsewhere effect and the uncertainties associated with stochastic density fluctuations in the ALP field. We find no evidence of an oscillating EDM over a range spanning from 27 nHz to 400 mHz, and we use this result to constrain the ALP-gluon coupling over the mass range $10^{-22}-10^{-15}$ eV. This is the first laboratory constraint on the ALP-gluon coupling in the $10^{-17}-10^{-15}$ eV range, and the first laboratory constraint to properly account for the stochastic nature of the ALP field.

description: A grand unification model with a single $E_8$ gauge superfield in 10 dimensions is presented. It is shown that, through the orbifold $T^6/(\mathbb{Z}_6\times \mathbb{Z}_2)$ and its corresponding Wilson lines, the symmetry is broken to the Standard Model one. Furthermore it is shown that the model is anomaly free at all levels without the need to add any extra field content. Thus a complete unification of the Standard Model into a single gauge superfield is achieved consistently.

description: Structured light is attracting significant attention for its diverse applications in both classical and quantum optics. The so-called vector vortex beams display peculiar properties in both contexts due to the non-trivial correlations between optical polarization and orbital angular momentum. Here we demonstrate a new, flexible experimental approach to the classification of vortex vector beams. We first describe a platform for generating arbitrary complex vector vortex beams inspired to photonic quantum walks. We then exploit recent machine learning methods -- namely convolutional neural networks and principal component analysis -- to recognize and classify specific polarization patterns. Our study demonstrates the significant advantages resulting from the use of machine learning-based protocols for the construction and characterization of high-dimensional resources for quantum protocols.

description: In this paper a (micro)econometric approach is developed by considering the farmer likelihood to participate in different policy programs as linked to the objective of farmer to maximize their welfare. In this way we model farmers participation in policy support scheme by using a new institutional economics approach and conceptualizing the decision to entry as a contractual choice between two rural development types of policy. Different discrete choice modelling approaches are used to analyze the complementarity/ substitutability of different policy programs such as environmental-related measures and farm investment supports policy schemes and the main driving factors behind them. We use an extensive cross-sectional database related to the Italian FADN 2006. Results indicate that social capital and institutional factors should be taken much more into account in order to understand farmers likelihood to entry in policy support schemes. Location and farm(er) socio-economic features are also relevant factors. Moreover complementarity has been found between different policy schemes.

description: The first stages of planet formation take place in protoplanetary disks that are largely made up of gas. Understanding how the gas affects planetesimals in the protoplanetary disk is therefore essential. In this paper, we discuss whether or not gas flow can erode planetesimals. We estimate how much shear stress is exerted onto the planetesimal surface by the gas as a function of disk and planetesimal properties. To determine whether erosion can take place, we compare this with previous measurements of the critical stress that a pebble-pile planetesimal can withstand before erosion begins. If erosion takes place, we estimate the erosion time of the affected planetesimals. We also illustrate our estimates with two-dimensional numerical simulations of flows around planetesimals using the lattice Boltzmann method. We find that the wall shear stress can overcome the critical stress of planetesimals in an eccentric orbit within the innermost regions of the disk. The high eccentricities needed to reach erosive stresses could be the result of shepherding by migrating planets. We also find that if a planetesimal erodes, it does so on short timescales. For planetesimals residing outside of $1 \ \rm{au}$, we find that they are mainly safe from erosion, even in the case of highly eccentric orbits.
