description: Graphene hybrids, made of thin insulators, graphene, and metals can support propagating acoustic plasmons (AGPs). The metal screening modifies the dispersion relation of usual graphene plasmons leading to slowly propagating plasmons, with record confinement of electromagnetic radiation. Here, we show that a graphene monolayer, covered by a thin dielectric material and an array of metallic nanorods can be used as a robust platform to emulate the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model. We calculate the Zak's phase of the different plasmonic bands to characterise their topology. The system shows bulk-edge correspondence: strongly localized interface states are generated in the domain walls separating arrays in different topological phases. We find signatures of the nontrivial phase which can directly be probed by far-field mid-IR radiation, hence allowing a direct experimental confirmation of graphene topological plasmons. The robust field enhancement, highly localized nature of the interface states, and their gate-tuned frequencies expand the capabilities of AGP-based devices.

"The object of their life": defining female self in The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Miss Marjoribanks
Creators: name: Goodison, Susanne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: In this thesis, I study genre and characterization choices made by Anne Brontë in The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Margaret Oliphant in Miss Marjoribanks. For the most part, these choices have been perceived negatively by critics because the resulting text does not produce evidence of either twentieth-century aesthetics or themes. However, as recent interpretations based on principles of cultural criticism suggest, these texts offer insights into Victorian women's interactions with their culture. Through texts like The Tenant and Miss Marioribanks, we catch glimpses of acts of female self-definition which radically contradict individualistic notions of self. Essentially, this thesis seeks to trace the perspective these texts offer which is founded on the integration of masculine and feminine and not on the exclusion of either.

Search for neutrino-induced cascades from gamma-ray bursts with AMANDA

Year: 2007

description: Using the neutrino telescope AMANDA-II, we have conducted two analyses searching for neutrino-induced cascades from gamma-ray bursts. No evidence of astrophysical neutrinos was found, and limits are presented for several models. We also present neutrino effective areas which allow the calculation of limits for any neutrino production model. The first analysis looked for a statistical excess of events within a sliding window of 1 or 100 seconds (for short and long burst classes, respectively) during the years 2001-2003. The resulting upper limit on the diffuse flux normalization times E^2 for the Waxman-Bahcall model at 1 PeV is 1.6 x 10^-6 GeV cm^-2 s^-1 sr^-1 (a factor of 120 above the theoretical prediction). For this search 90% of the neutrinos would fall in the energy range 50 TeV to 7 PeV. The second analysis looked for neutrino-induced cascades in coincidence with 73 bursts detected by BATSE in the year 2000. The resulting upper limit on the diffuse flux normalization times E^2, also at 1 PeV, is 1.5 x 10^-6 GeV cm^-2 s^-1 sr^-1 (a factor of 110 above the theoretical prediction) for the same energy range. The neutrino-induced cascade channel is complementary to the up-going muon channel. We comment on its advantages for searches of neutrinos from GRBs and its future use with IceCube.

description: Central nervous system (CNS) infections remain a major burden of pediatric disease associated with significant long-term morbidity due to injury to the developing brain. Children are susceptible to various etiologies of CNS infection partly because of vulnerabilities in their peripheral immune system. Young children are known to have reduced numbers and functionality of innate and adaptive immune cells, poorer production of immune mediators, impaired responses to inflammatory stimuli and depressed antibody activity in comparison to adults. This has implications not only for their response to pathogen invasion, but also for the development of appropriate vaccines and vaccination strategies. Further, pediatric immune characteristics evolve across the span of childhood into adolescence as their broader physiological and hormonal landscape develop. In addition to intrinsic vulnerabilities, children are subject to external factors that impact their susceptibility to infections, including maternal immunity and exposure, and nutrition. In this review we summarize the current evidence for immune characteristics across childhood that render children at risk for CNS infection and introduce the link with the CNS through the modulatory role that the brain has on the immune response. This manuscript lays the foundation from which we explore the specifics of infection and inflammation within the CNS and the consequences to the maturing brain in part two of this review series.

Εκκινώντας από τη διαπίστωση ότι η έκθεση των εκτοπισμένων σε μια οδυνηρή καθημερινότητα θέτει σε συνεχή δοκιμασία τη σχέση τους με τον οικείο τόπο και το περιβάλλον του εγκλεισμού, τη σύλληψη του χρόνου, τις συντροφικές και ερωτικές σχέσεις, καθώς και τις ιδεολογικές και πολιτικές τους πεποιθήσεις, σκοπός αυτής της διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι να προσδιορίσει μέσα από πολλές οπτικές γωνίες τον τρόπο με τον οποίο συγκροτείται στο ποιητικό έργο των δύο ποιητών η ταυτότητα των εκτοπισμένων. Μέσα από την ανάλυση αυτών των ποιημάτων διαφαίνονται όχι μόνο οι συνέχειες και ρήξεις που ανιχνεύονται στην ταυτότητα των εκτοπισμένων από συλλογή σε συλλογή, αλλά και οι συγκλίσεις και αποκλίσεις ως προς τον τρόπο με τον οποίο οι δύο ποιητές διαχειρίζονται τη θεματική του αυτοπροσδιορισμού. Η αναπαράσταση της υποκειμενικότητας αρχικά ως μιας ομοιογενούς συλλογικότητας, έπειτα στις ατομικές της εκφάνσεις και εντέλει στις πολλαπλές και σύνθετες όψεις της αποδεικνύει ότι η ταυτότητα που αναφύεται δεν είναι στατική, αλλά υφίσταται ποικίλες διαφοροποιήσεις και μεταλλαγές.
description: This paper examines the poems of Aris Alexandrou and Titos Patrikios which are related to the experience of the exile. In some of these poems the experience of exile is synchronized with the aesthetic imprint, while in others the aesthetic imprint comes next. Starting from the observation that the exposure of the exiled to a painful routine tests constantly their relationship with their hometown and the place of incarceration, the perception of time, the fellow and sexual relationships, as well as the ideological and political beliefs, the aim of this thesis is to determine the way in which the identity of the exiled is formed in the work of those poets through different aspects. Through the analysis of these poems emerge not only continuities and ruptures detected in the identity of the exiled people from collection to collection, but also similarities and differences in the way in which the two poets deal with the theme of self-determination. The representation of subjectivity at first as homogenous collectivity, secondly in its individual manifestations and finally in its multiple and complex facets, proves that the identity that arises is not static, but undergoes many variations and alterations.

description: JHK photometry in the Mauna Kea Observatory (MKO) near-IR system is presented for 115 stars. Of these, 79 are UKIRT standards and 42 are LCO standards. The average brightness is 11.5 mag, with a range of 10 to 15. The average number of nights each star was observed is 4, and the average of the internal error of the final results is 0.011 mag. These JHK data agree with those reported by other groups to 0.02 mag. The measurements are used to derive transformations between the MKO JHK photometric system and the UKIRT, LCO and 2MASS systems. The 2MASS-MKO data scatter by 0.05 mag for redder stars: 2MASS-J includes H2O features in dwarfs and MKO-K includes CO features in giants. Transformations derived for stars whose spectra contain only weak features cannot give accurate transformations for objects with strong absorption features within a filter bandpasses. We find evidence of systematic effects at the 0.02 mag level in the photometry of stars with J<11 and H,K<10.5. This is due to an underestimate of the linearity correction for stars observed with the shortest exposure times; very accurate photometry of stars approaching the saturation limits of infrared detectors which are operated in double-read mode is difficult to obtain. Four stars in the sample, GSPC S705-D, FS 116 (B216-b7), FS 144 (Ser-EC84) and FS 32 (Feige 108), may be variable. 84 stars in the sample have 11< J< 15 and 10.5

description: We consider multi-player graph games with partial-observation and parity objective. While the decision problem for three-player games with a coalition of the first and second players against the third player is undecidable, we present a decidability result for partial-observation games where the first and third player are in a coalition against the second player, thus where the second player is adversarial but weaker due to partial-observation. We establish tight complexity bounds in the case where player 1 is less informed than player 2, namely 2-EXPTIME-completeness for parity objectives. The symmetric case of player 1 more informed than player 2 is much more complicated, and we show that already in the case where player 1 has perfect observation, memory of size non-elementary is necessary in general for reachability objectives, and the problem is decidable for safety and reachability objectives. Our results have tight connections with partial-observation stochastic games for which we derive new complexity results.

description: Stereotypy has been defined as repetitive vocal or motor behaviors that occur throughout the day with no apparent function to the related activity (Martinez, Betz, Liddon, & Werle, 2016). It has been identified as one of two major destructive behaviors, second to self-injurious behavior, due to its impact across areas of functioning, such as education and social (National Institute of Health, 1989). Research has suggested that response interruption and redirection (RIRD) is an effective intervention to decrease stereotypy in children diagnosed with ASD. Although the basic RIRD arrangement has been demonstrated to be effective in numerous studies, the results of some previous studies have suggested that the intervention may be effective with adaptions that might ultimately increase the generality of the intervention (e.g., signaled RIRD; intermittent application of RIRD). Thus, the purpose of the current study is to evaluate the relative effects of the standard RIRD procedure, RIRD implemented on a variable ratio schedule, and signaled RIRD (i.e., discrimination training with RIRD) on stereotypy exhibited by children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder who engage in automatically maintained stereotypy.

Ως αποτέλεσμα λαμβάνουμε μια σειρά από λύσεις για κάθε συνολική παροχή που επιλέξαμε.

description: This Diploma Thesis deals with optimal management of groundwater resources, taking into account pollution sources. A polluted “infinite” aquifer, is taken into account, while maximization of total safe pumping flow rate and pumping cost are used as optimization criteria. The optimization task is accomplished by means of genetic algorithms. The respective code has been developed in Quick Basic. Data include aquifer features, coordinates of one production and two injection wells, injection flow rates and maximum pumping flow rate of each production well. Optimization results include the coordinates and flow rates of the two additional production wells, which should be constructed inside an area of 1000x1000 m, together with the flow rate of the existing production well. The optimization was accomplished in two stages. Initially we executed the code with the goal of maximizing total safe pumping flow rate only. Thereafter, we executed the code for predefined values of total pumping flow rate, with the goal of minimizing pumping cost. As a result, we have several solutions for each value of total flow rate. Our results show that the proposed computational tool can be used with success in similar water management problems.

description: We present an analysis of the color and variability characteristics for point sources in the Faint Sky Variability Survey (FSVS). The FSVS cataloged ~23 square degrees in BVI filters from ~16--24 mag to investigate variability in faint sources at moderate to high Galactic latitudes. Point source completeness is found to be >83% for a selected representative sample (V=17.5--22.0 mag, B-V=0.0--1.5) containing both photometric B, V detections and 80% of the time-sampled V data available compared to a basic internal source completeness of 99%. Multi-epoch (10--30) observations in V spanning minutes to years modeled by light curve simulations reveal amplitude sensitivities to 0.015--0.075 mag over a representative V=18--22 mag range. Periodicity determinations appear viable to time-scales of an order 1 day or less using the most sampled fields (~30 epochs). The fraction of point sources is found to be generally variable at 5--8% over V=17.5--22.0 mag. For V brighter than 19 mag, the variable population is dominated by low amplitude (<0.05 mag) and blue (B-V<0.35) sources, possibly representing a population of gamma Doradus stars. Overall, the dominant population of variable sources are bluer than B-V=0.65 and have Main Sequence colors, likely reflecting larger populations of RR Lyrae, SX Phe, gamma Doradus, and W UMa variables.

Lifespan changes in covert attention alignment
Creators: name: Brodeur, Darlene Adel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: There are two ways that attentional resources can be aligned in visual space. They can be "pulled" automatically by stimulus cues, or "pushed" in a more strategic manner by the observer in response to information cues. The present study was designed to determine if the ability to align attention in these two ways changes throughout the course of the lifespan. Subjects (6, 8, 10, 23, and 73 years) were tested in two conditions. In the first, subjects were presented with a stimulus cue (a dot that appears briefly at a target location) prior to the presentation of a target. Attention was automatically aligned to a possible target location in response to the stimulus cue. In the second, an arrow was presented prior to the target, allowing the subject to align attention strategically in response to the cue. Cues were either valid or invalid predictors of target location, cue-target SOA was varied so the time course for the effective use of both types of cues was measured and compared. Eye movements were monitored to control for confounding developmental differences in vision. In a second experiment, lifespan changes in the interaction between the two forms of orienting were assessed by presenting subjects with both cues on each trial. The location information provided by each cue could be either compatible or incompatible with each other. The results of both experiments suggest that the ability to align attention automatically changes very little from early childhood through old age. Strategic attention alignment becomes more efficient in early adulthood. Children have difficulty sustaining attention at locations specified by information cues and seniors have difficulty using the information rapidly. Both children and seniors are less able to use information cues when stimulus cues are also available where as young adults can use both. These findings suggest that separate mechanisms are required to implement attention alignments to automatic and strategic cues.

description: Three-, four-, and six-fold excitations have significantly extended the subjects of condensed matter physics. There is an urgent need for a realistic material that can have coexisting 3-, 4-, and 6-fold excitations. However, these materials are uncommon because these excitations in electronic systems are usually broken by spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and normally far from the Fermi level. Unlike the case in electronic systems, the phonon systems with negligible SOC effect, not constrained by the Pauli exclusion principle, provide a feasible platform to realize these excitations in a wide frequency range. Hence, in this work, we demonstrate by first-principle calculations and symmetry analysis that perfect 3-, 4-, 6-fold excitations appear in the phonon dispersion rather than the band structures of Zr3Ni3Sb4, which is a well-known indirect-gap semiconductor with an Y3Au3Sb4-type structure. This material features 3-fold quadratic contact triple-point phonon, 4-fold Dirac point phonon, and 6-fold point phonon. Moreover, these nodal-point phonons are very robust to uniform strain. Two obvious phonon surface arcs of the [001] plane are extended in the whole Brillouin zone, which will facilitate their detection in future experimental studies. The current work provides an ideal model to investigate the rich excitations in a single material.

description: From the degree zero part of logarithmic vector fields along an algebraic hypersurface singularity we indentify the maximal multihomogeneity of a defining equation in form of a maximal algebraic torus in the embedded automorphism group. We show that all such maximal tori are conjugate and in one-to-one correspondence to maxmimal tori in the degree zero jet of the embedded automorphism group. The result is motivated by Kyoji Saito's characterization of quasihomogeneity for isolated hypersurface singularities and extends its formal version and a result of Hauser and Mueller.

description: Particle size is a key variable in understanding the behaviour of the particulate products that underpin much of our modern lives. Typically obtained from suspensions at rest, measuring the particle size under flowing conditions would enable advances for in-line testing during manufacture and high-throughput testing during development. However, samples are often turbid, multiply scattering light and preventing the direct use of common sizing techniques. Differential dynamic microscopy (DDM) is a powerful technique for analysing video microscopy of such samples, measuring diffusion and hence particle size without the need to resolve individual particles while free of substantial user input. However, when applying DDM to a flowing sample, diffusive dynamics are rapidly dominated by flow effects, preventing particle sizing. Here, we develop "flow-DDM", a novel analysis scheme that combines optimised imaging conditions, a drift-velocity correction and modelling of the impact of flow. Flow-DDM allows a decoupling of flow from diffusive motion that facilitates successful particle size measurements at flow speeds an order of magnitude higher than for DDM. We demonstrate the generality of the technique by applying flow-DDM to two separate microscopy methods and flow geometries.

description: Multiple protein kinases acting in a sequential manner have been identified to constitute a kinase cascade that mediates growth factor or mitogen-activated signal transduction. The cascade is triggered at the cell membrane by the activation of receptor tyrosine kinases, which pass on the signal in the order of p21 [ras superscript] → p74 [raf superscript] → or mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase kinase kinase (MKKK) → MAP kinase kinase (MKK) → MAP kinase or extracellular-signal regulated kinase (ERK) → S6 kinase → S6 protein phosphorylation. Insulin also activates such a cascade in cultured cells or isolated tissues, but very few studies have investigated the kinase cascade in an intact animal model. In this study, MAP kinase, S6 kinase, p74 [raf1 superscript] and casein kinase-2 (CK-2) were characterized by chromatographic and immunoblotting techniques using both control and diabetic rats. The effects of insulin-mimetic vanadium compounds on these kinases were also examined. Intravenous injection of insulin activated the previously identified 42-kDa (p42 [erk2 superscript]) and 44-kDa (p44 [erk1 superscript]) MAP kinases as well as other potential novel MAP kinases in rat skeletal muscle and spleen. p42 [erk2 superscript] appears to represent a major portion of the insulin-stimulated MAP kinase activity. Also activated in rat skeletal muscle following insulin injection were S6 kinases and p74 [raf1 superscript]. A 100-kDa S6 kinase was tentatively identified as a member of the previously identified 90-kDa ribosomal S6 kinase (p90 [rsk superscript]) family, while another novel S6 kinase activity was also identified and purified to near homogeneity as a potentially novel 32-kDa S6 kinase. This kinase appears to play a major role in the insulin-stimulated activation of S6 kinase activity. CK-2 was not significantly activated by insulin in skeletal muscle, but was activated significantly in rat spleen. These results suggest that the kinase cascade may be physiologically significant and that the intact rat may serve as a useful model in characterizing these kinases. In streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats, basal MAP kinase and S6 kinase activity were elevated in 2-month diabetic rats, but significantly reduced in 6-month diabetic rats. Furthermore, activation of MAP kinase and S6 kinase was defective in the 2-month diabetic rats, indicating a disruption of the kinase cascade that mediates the action of insulin during diabetes. The molecular mechanism of these changes requires further investigation. When the diabetic rats were treated with vanadyl sulphate or an organic compound of vanadium, bis-maltolato-oxo-vanadium (IV) (BMOV), the changes in MAP kinase and S6 kinase did not occur, suggesting that the insulin-like effects of vanadium may involve the effects of vanadium on the kinases that are critical components in the mitogen-activated kinase cascade.

description: Quantum dots are one of the paradigmatic solid-state systems for quantum engineering, providing an outstanding tunability to explore fundamental quantum phenomena. Here we show that non-Hermitian many-body topological modes can be realized in a quantum dot chain by utilizing a gate-tunable modulation of dissipation, and they emerge purely because of the non-Hermiticity. By exactly solving the non-Hermitian interacting description both with exact diagonalization and tensor-networks, we demonstrate that these topological modes are robust even in the presence strong interactions, leading to a strongly correlated topological many-particle state. Our results put forward quantum dot arrays as a platform for engineering non-Hermitian many-body topological modes, and highlight the resilience of non-Hermitian topology to electronic interactions.

description: We directly measure the chemical potential jump in the low-temperature limit when the filling factor traverses the nu = 1/3 and nu = 2/5 fractional gaps in two-dimensional (2D) electron system in GaAs/AlGaAs single heterojunctions. In high magnetic fields B, both gaps are linear functions of B with slopes proportional to the inverse fraction denominator, 1/q. The fractional gaps close partially when the Fermi level lies outside. An empirical analysis indicates that the chemical potential jump for an IDEAL 2D electron system, in the highest accessible magnetic fields, is proportional to q^{-1}B^{1/2}.

"Meissner effect" and Blandford-Znajek mechanism in conductive black hole magnetospheres

description: The expulsion of axisymmetric magnetic field from the event horizons of rapidly rotating black holes has been seen as an astrophysically important effect that may significantly reduce or even nullify the efficiency of the Blandford-Znajek mechanism of powering the relativistic jets in Active Galactic Nuclei and Gamma Ray Bursts. However, this Meissner-like effect is seen in vacuum solutions of black hole electrodynamics whereas the Blandford-Znajek mechanism is concerned with plasma-filled magnetospheres. In this paper we argue that conductivity dramatically changes the properties of axisymmetric electromagnetic solutions -- even for a maximally rotating Kerr black hole the magnetic field is pulled inside the event horizon. Moreover, the conditions resulting in outgoing Poynting flux in the Blandford-Znajek mechanism exist not on the event horizon but everywhere within the black hole ergosphere. Thus, the Meissner effect is unlikely to be of interest in astrophysics of black holes, at least not in the way this has been suggested so far. These conclusions are supported by the results of time-dependent numerical simulations with three different computer codes. The test problems involve black holes with the rotation parameter ranging from $a=0.999$ to $a=1$. The pure electrodynamic simulations deal with the structure of conductive magnetospheres of black holes placed in a uniform-at-infinity magnetic field (Wald's problem) and the magnetohydrodynamic simulations are used to study the magnetospheres arising in the problem of disk accretion.

description: We consider the phase-coherent transport of electrons passing through an Aharonov-Bohm ring while interacting with a tunnel charge in a double quantum dot (representing a charge qubit) which couples symmetrically to both arms of the ring. For Aharonov-Bohm flux Phi_AB=h/2e we find that electrons can only be transmitted when they flip the charge qubit's pseudospin parity an odd number of times. The perfect correlations of the dynamics of the pseudospin and individual electronic transmission and reflection events can be used to entangle the charge qubit with an individual passing electron.

Familiarity, context, and the distinction between literal and nonliteral language
Creators: name: Geiger, Odeis
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Six experiments investigating the relationship of familiarity and context to the processing of metaphor are presented. Experiment 1 compares time to understand sets containing idiom or metaphor targets following 1-2 sentence contexts in four conditions: NONLITERAL, where the context was completed by an idiom or metaphor, PARAPHRASE, where the same context was completed by a literal target with the same meaning, SURPRISE, where the context was completed by a less-anticipated literal target, and LITERAL, where the target from the NONLITERAL condition was used in its literal sense in a different context. In Experiment 2, sets of dead metaphors replaced the idiom sets, and the metaphor sets had novel metaphors. Experiment 3 matched the targets in each condition for overall printed word frequency, to investigate whether word familiarity was interacting with type of usage. It also included an UNFAMILIAR condition, where the same context was completed by a much less familiar word used literally. Experiment 4 took 20 contexts from Experiment 3 and asked subjects to generate their own endings. Experiment 5 replicated Experiment 3 but with a two-target semantic choice instead of a single response. Experiment 6 shortened contexts and reduced their information content. Its purpose was to see how much context was contributing to understanding, and whether some conditions would be more affected than others. The results may be interpreted as indicating that familiarity with the use of a word is important in determining speed of understanding. Dead metaphors could be understood just as quickly as words used literally, but novel metaphors took longer. Contextual expectations are also a powerful adjunct to the understanding process. When expectations are thwarted, errors and understanding time increases. Metaphor understanding is interpreted as a class-inclusion process in the manner described by Glucksberg and Keysar (1990), where a word used metaphorically is viewed as a prototypical exemplar of a hierarchically superordinate class that becomes extended to incorporate the context topic. This process takes time, but metaphors have a response latency advantage over surprising or unfamiliar literal words encountered in context. When context is reduced, metaphors are still advantageous in terms of time, but are less useful to depth of understanding.

description: The Cosmological Constant Problem emerges when Quantum Field Theory is applied to the gravitational theory, due to the enormous magnitude of the induced energy of the vacuum. The unique known solution of this problem involves an extremely precise fine-tuning of the vacuum counterpart. We review a few of the existing approaches to this problem based on the account of the quantum (loop) effects and pay special attention to the ones involving the renormalization group.

description: We report a high energy-resolution neutron backscattering study to investigate slow motions on nanosecond time scales in highly oriented solid supported phospholipid bilayers of the model system DMPC -d54 (deuterated 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phoshatidylcholine), hydrated with heavy water. Wave vector resolved quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) is used to determine relaxation times $τ$, which can be associated with different molecular components, i.e., the lipid acyl chains and the interstitial water molecules in the different phases of the model membrane system. The inelastic data are complemented both by energy resolved and energy integrated in-situ diffraction. From a combined analysis of the inelastic data in the energy and time domain, the respective character of the relaxation, i.e., the exponent of the exponential decay is also determined. From this analysis we quantify two relaxation processes. We associate the fast relaxation with translational diffusion of lipid and water molecules while the slow process likely stems from collective dynamics.
