The carceral city : parolee experiences of reintegration into community
Creators: name: Murphy, Jennifer
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study explored and described the experiences of parolees in reintegrating into the community after their release from prison. It focuses on the process of reintegration from the perspective of the parolees themselves. The study was framed within the theoretical perspectives of Critical Theory (Habermas and Foucault), criminological theory and the narrative approach. Using a qualitative approach, three federal parolees were interviewed about the process of reintegration. A collective case study approach within the instrumental case study model was used. Participants were selected from a group of federal parolees living in a city in the Interior of British Columbia, and they were recruited for inclusion in the study through the Correctional Service of Canada. The interviews were audio-taped and transcribed by the researcher, and data was analyzed using narrative analysis techniques. Findings involved an evaluation of the barriers/aids to reintegration, formal/informal services used, and community attitudes to parolees. The most significant finding focused on the parolees' "hidden" identity within the community and their "insider'V'outsider" status. Implications for social work practice are discussed and also future research directions, including strategies to include the narratives of parolees in a reformulated community mediation process.

description: Agricultural agencies have long offered agri-environmental payments that are inadequate to achieve water quality goals, and many state water quality agencies are considering point-nonpoint trading to achieve the needed pollution reductions. This analysis considers both targeted and nontargeted agrienvironmental payment schemes, along with a trading program which is not spatially targeted. The degree of improved performance among these policies is found to depend on whether the programs are coordinated or not, whether double-dipping (i.e., when farmers are paid twice-once by each program-to undertake particular pollution control actions) is allowed, and whether the agri-environmental payments are targeted. Under coordination, efficiency gains only occur with double-dipping, so that both programs jointly influence farmers' marginal decisions. Without coordination, doubledipping may increase or decrease efficiency, depending on how the agri-environmental policy is targeted. Finally, double-dipping may not solely benefit farmers, but can result in a transfer of agricultural subsidies to point sources.

description: We report on the experimental generation of spatially multiplexed picosecond 40-GHz pulse trains at telecommunication wavelengths by simultaneous intra-modal multiple four wave mixing and intermodal cross-phase modulation in km-long bi-modal and 6-LP-mode graded-index few-mode fibers. More precisely, an initial beat-signal injected into the fundamental mode is first nonlinearly compressed into well-separated pulses by means of an intra-modal multiple four-wave mixing process, while several group-velocity matched continuous-wave probe signals are injected into higher-order modes in such a way to develop similar pulsed profile thanks to an intermodal cross-phase modulation interaction. Specifically, by simultaneously exciting three higher-order modes (LP11, LP02 and LP31) of a 6-LP-mode fiber along group-velocity matched wavelengths with the fundamental mode, four spatially multiplexed 40-GHz picosecond pulse-trains are generated at selective wavelengths with negligible cross-talks between all the modes.

description: The decision to adopt a potentially profitable but unfamiliar conservation technology is cast in a multi-period Bayesian framework. Specifically, dairy farmers who are both risk-averse and susceptible to peer group influence progressively learn about the true impact of adopting reduced phosphorus dairy diets on their income distributions as they repeatedly experiment with this new technology. Empirically calibrated simulations are used to examine the effects of a voluntary green payment program on the rate of technological diffusion. Results suggest that (a) green payments can accelerate learning and produce significant, permanent changes in behavior relatively quickly and for a reasonable cost; (b) shorter contracts offering larger incentives may be more cost-effective when learning plays an important role in behavioral change; and (c) unknown prior beliefs can reduce the efficacy of a green payment program, implying efforts to verify these priors or to ensure against them by increasing the payment level may be worthwhile.

description: Certain gauge theories in four dimensions are known to admit semi-classical D-brane solitons. These are domain walls on which vortex flux tubes may end. The purpose of this paper is to develop an open-string description of these D-branes. The dynamics of the domain walls is shown to be governed by a Chern-Simons-Higgs theory which, at the quantum level, captures the classical "closed string" scattering of domain wall solitons.

description: We investigate the near-surface relaxation of freestanding atactic \glsdesc{ps} films with molecular dynamics simulations. As in previous coarse-grained simulations, relaxation times for backbone segments and phenyl rings are linked to their bulk relaxation times via a power law coupling relation. Variation of the coupling exponent with distance from the surface is consistent with depth-dependent activation barriers. We also quantify a reduction of dynamical heterogeneity at the interface which can be interpreted in the framework of cooperative models for glassy dynamics.

description: We report the first INTEGRAL timing and spectral analysis of the high mass X-ray binary source 2S 0114+65 at high energies (5-100 keV). The pulse period was found at 2.668 hr with a high pulsed fraction, ~80% in both the 20-40 keV and 40-80 keV energy bands. The spin-up trend over ~8 years was measured to be -8.9 * 10^{-7}. The hard X-ray spectrum obtained with JEM-X/ISGRI is well described by a high energy exponential cut-off power law model where the estimated luminosity is 1.8 * 10^{36} erg/s in the 5-100 keV energy band, for a source distance of 7.2 kpc. We tentatively identify a cyclotron resonance scattering feature at ~22 keV with one harmonic, implying a magnetic field of 2.5 * 10^{12} G.

description: In addition to supplying food and fiber, agriculture is a source of public goods and externalities. This article addresses two questions. First, do price and income support policies promote a multifunctional agriculture in an effective manner? Second, would policies targeted more directly at multifunctional attributes be more efficient than price and income support policies? The answer to the first question is no, at least for policies targeted at outputs (price supports, export subsidies, etc.). Public goods are not directly linked to production, but rather to land use and agricultural structures. Evidence in response to the second question is sketchier with respect to policies targeted at land.

description: Data on owner and land characteristics are used to analyze factors affecting participation decisions in Delaware's agricultural lands preservation program, federal commodity programs, and federal conservation programs. A trivariate probit model estimates a set of random utility models of participation. Participation decisions at the state and federal levels are found to be driven by many of the same observed factors, but uncorrelated in unobserved characteristics. The important exceptions are that owners of small parcels under development pressure and with parcels of relatively low environmental quality tend to enroll in commodity programs rather than preservation. In part, the complex policy environment may therefore limit the effectiveness of programs seeking to preserve parcels with the highest environmental quality or facing the greatest development pressure.

ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY VS. DISTRIBUTIVE EQUITY: BLM'S USE OF ECONOMIC ANALYSIS IN FACT AND FICTION

Subjects: Land Economics/Use

description: In a recent paper in this Journal entitled "Economic Efficiency vs. Distributive Equity: The Sagebrush Rebellion" Obermiller provides misleading evidence about the role of efficiency criterion in land use allocations by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). In using this "evidence" he comes to conclusions that miss other important economic explanations for the so-called Sagebrush Rebellion. A reader unfamiliar with the actual economic analyses performed by BLM might be led to believe that the field offices' active use of efficiency as a decision criterion to implement the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) is one explanation of the origin of the Sagebrush Rebellion. Evidence is presented herein that shows little or none of the efficiency analyses implied by an economists' reading of FLPMA and BLM's Planning Regulations (Department of Interior, 1979) have ever been implemented, let alone used by area and district managers to make decisions. Rather, arguments are presented that show it is generally not in these managers' self interest to place emphasis on efficiency. An alternative explanation of the source of the Sagebrush Rebellion is presented that relies on the notion of property rights.

description: The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) has heretofore been a largely passive exercise, reliant on the pursuit of technosignatures. Still, there are those that advocate a more active approach. Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence (METI) has had a controversial history within the larger SETI project; it is claimed that the risks involved outweigh any potential benefits. These arguments are ultimately not compelling, result in absurd policy recommendations, and rest on a faulty appreciation of the nature of technosignatures, whose detectability implies intent to signal. Present technology is advancing quickly such that we will soon have great observational reach, to the point of reliably detecting such technosignatures and biosignatures: a capability that can be matched or exceeded elsewhere. To escape the SETI Paradox properly defined, at least one technological civilization must choose not to suppress its own continuum of astrobiological signals, of which METI is merely the most effective endmember. Passive SETI's low likelihood of success in the short-term is a serious obstacle to sustainable funding, alongside a 'giggle factor' enhanced by a pernicious fear of contact. The scientific community must integrate an active approach to better ensure both the continuity and eventual success of the SETI project.

description: We present multi-epoch observations with the VLBA of SiO maser emission in the v=1, J=1-0 transition at 43 GHz from the remnant of the red nova V838 Mon. We model the positions of maser spots to derive a parallax of 0.166+/-0.060 mas. Combining this parallax with other distance information results in a distance of 5.6+/-0.5 kpc, which agrees with an independent geometric distance of 6.1+/-0.6 kpc from modeling polarimetry images of V838 Mon's light echo. Combining these results, and including a weakly constraining Gaia DR2 parallax, yields a best estimate of distance of 5.9+/-0.4 kpc. The maser spots are located close to the peaks of continuum at ~225 GHz and SiO J=5-4 thermal emission detected with ALMA. The proper motion of V838 Mon confirms its membership in a small open cluster in the Outer spiral arm of the Milky Way.

description: A dynamic system of cost-share equations for agricultural inputs is used to test for the presence of input disequilibrium. This dynamic system incorporates a disequilibrium adjustment process into input-share equations derived from a translog cost function. The disequilibrium process is represented as a generalized partial adjustment model where disequilibrium in one input may affect other inputs. Results from this analysis suggest applications of translog share systems to agriculture under static equilibrium assumptions are inappropriate.

description: Villi are crucial for increasing intestinal absorptive surface area, and their loss leads to malabsorption and death. In mammals, villi emerge from an initially flat epithelium. Hedgehog (Hh) signaling from the epithelium triggers the aggregation of adjacent mesenchymal cells into clusters that subsequently organize villus emergence and define the crypt/villus axis. Endothelial cells also interact with these clusters, and disrupting vasculature impairs cluster formation. Furthermore, inhibiting Hh signaling perturbs the vasculature as well as clusters; however, whether Hh acts on cluster or vasculature to drive villus formation is unknown. To define the cell type(s) driving villus emergence downstream from Hh, lineage tracing and cell-type specific alteration of Hh signaling in mice were examined. Visualization of human clusters and developing vasculature and localization of Hh signaling pathway components at key stages in villus morphogenesis provide important comparisons to mouse models. Leveraging this information along with examination of altered Hh signaling in human intestinal organoids in vitro and in vivo following irradiation induced damage define the mechanism of Hh modulated villus morphogenesis and provide new strategies to drive villus development.

description: We use the k-core decomposition to visualize large scale complex networks in two dimensions. This decomposition, based on a recursive pruning of the least connected vertices, allows to disentangle the hierarchical structure of networks by progressively focusing on their central cores. By using this strategy we develop a general visualization algorithm that can be used to compare the structural properties of various networks and highlight their hierarchical structure. The low computational complexity of the algorithm, O(n+e), where 'n' is the size of the network, and 'e' is the number of edges, makes it suitable for the visualization of very large sparse networks. We apply the proposed visualization tool to several real and synthetic graphs, showing its utility in finding specific structural fingerprints of computer generated and real world networks.

Modeling of dynamic fracture problems using AL finite element formulation
Creators: name: Abdelgalil, Abdelgader I.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The problem of dynamic crack propagation is widely addressed in the literature. The few available analytical solutions are limited to simple and idealized geometries and loading conditions. On the other hand, major approximations and inconsistent assumptions exist in published numerical models. In this thesis, the problem of dynamic crack propagation is modeled using a fully coupled Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) formulation. The ALE equilibrium equations are derived, discretized using isoparametric finite elements and implemented into an ALE dynamic fracture program (ALEFR), based on an implicit solution scheme. The advantage of the ALE formulation is that the computational grid (finite element mesh) may have an arbitrary motion with respect to the domain of the deformed body. Therefore, the complex nature of the developed boundary condition due to a propagating crack may now be modeled in a continuous and accurate manner. The process of creating new surfaces due to crack propagation is modeled by splitting material points. This allows for a more realistic representation of the actual physical process. The ALE boundary constraint is enforced on the free boundaries, including the continuously changing free crack surfaces, using a newly developed technique. The dynamic energy release rate is evaluated through the integration of material properties of Lagrangian grid material points. The developed formulations and techniques are then discretized and implemented into a finite element code. The developed code is tested by modeling dynamic stationary and propagating fracture problems.

description: In this paper we present the three dimensional dynamics of the galaxy SDSS J101345.39+011613.66, selected for its unusually strong Balmer absorption lines (Wo(H-delta)=7.5A). Using the GMOS-South IFU in Nod & Shuffle mode we have mapped the continuum and optical absorption lines of this z=0.1055 field galaxy. This galaxy has a disturbed morphology, with a halo of diffuse material distributed asymmetrically toward the north. Using the [OII] emission line (Wo([OII])=4.1A) we find that the gas and hot OB stars are offset from the older stars in the system. The gas also has a spatially extended and elongated morphology with a velocity gradient of 100+/-20km/s across 6kpc in projection. Using the strong H-gamma and H-delta absorption lines we find that the A- stars are widely distributed across the system and are not centrally concentrated arguing that the A-star population has formed in molecular clouds outside the nucleus. By cross correlating the spectra from the datacube with an A-star template we find evidence that the A-star population has a 40km/s shear in the same direction as the gas. The disturbed morphology, strong colour gradients and strong H-delta and H-gamma absorption lines in SDSS J101345.39 argue that this is a recent tidal interaction/merger between a passive elliptical and star-forming galaxy. Although based on a single object, these results show that we can spatially resolve and constrain the dynamics of this short lived (yet important) phase of galaxy formation in which the evolutionary process take galaxies from star-forming to their quiescent end products.

description: Active Janus particles suspended in a plasma were studied experimentally. The Janus particles were micron-size plastic microspheres, one half of which was coated with a thin layer of platinum. They were suspended in the plasma sheath of a radio-frequency discharge in argon at low pressure. The Janus particles moved in characteristic looped trajectories suggesting a combination of spinning and circling motion; their interactions led to the emergence of rich dynamics characterized by non-Maxwellian velocity distribution. The particle propulsion mechanism is discussed, the main force driving the particle motion is identified as photophoretic force.

description: We analyze a toy model which has a structure similar to that of the recently found QCD evolution equations, but without transverse dimensions. We develop two different but equivalent methods in order to compute the leading-order and next-to-leading order Pomeron loop diagrams. In addition to the leading-order result which has been derived from Mueller's toy model~\cite% {Mueller:1994gb}, we can also calculate the next-to-leading order contribution which provides the $(α_{s}^{2}αY)$ correction. We interpret this result and discuss its possible implications for the four-dimensional QCD evolution.

Weak tracking in nonautonomous chaotic systems

description: Previous studies have shown that rate-induced transitions can occur in pullback attractors of systems subject to "parameter shifts" between two asymptotically steady values of a system parameter. For cases where the attractors limit to equilibrium or periodic orbit in past and future limits of such an nonautonomous systems, these can occur as the parameter change passes through a critical rate. Such rate-induced transitions for attractors that limit to chaotic attractors in past or future limits has been less examined. In this paper, we identify a new phenomenon is associated with more complex attractors in the future limit: weak tracking, where a pullback attractor of the system limits to a proper subset of an attractor of the future limit system. We demonstrate weak tracking in a nonautonomous Rössler system, and argue there are infinitely many critical rates at each of which the pullback attracting solution of the system tracks an embedded unstable periodic orbit of the future chaotic attractor. We also state some necessary conditions that are needed for weak tracking.

description: Numerical relativity has come a long way in the last three decades and is now reaching a state of maturity. We are gaining a deeper understanding of the fundamental theoretical issues related to the field, from the well posedness of the Cauchy problem, to better gauge conditions, improved boundary treatment, and more realistic initial data. There has also been important work both in numerical methods and software engineering. All these developments have come together to allow the construction of several advanced fully three-dimensional codes capable of dealing with both matter and black holes. In this manuscript I make a brief review the current status of the field.

description: This paper provides an econometric investigation of the role of a renewable natural resource, sawlogs, in the production of lumber over the period 1950-1974. The economic scarcity of sawlogs is confirmed. Within a given production technology, the potential for substitution among capital, labor and sawlog inputs is greatly restricted but not impossible. Technological change has been strongly labor-saving but has had a negligible effect on wood requirements. Consequently, the real price of lumber has risen, stimulating development of substitute wood products. Continued decline of the industry is anticipated.

description: We argue that precise measurements of charge and magnetic radii can meaningfully constrain diquark models of the nucleon. We construct properly symmetrized, nonrelativistic three-quark wave functions that interpolate between the limits of a pointlike diquark pair and no diquark correlation. We find that good fits to the data can be obtained for a wide range of diquark sizes, provided that the diquark wave functions are close to those that reduce to a purely scalar state in the pointlike limit. A modest improvement in the experimental uncertainties will render a fit to the charge radii a more telling diagnostic for the presence of spatially correlated quark pairs within the nucleon.
