description: In this paper we present empirical evidence that the sovereign bond markets may have undergone a catastrophic transition during the Eurozone debt crisis. We find evidence of a phenomenon called critical slowing down that theory predicts should precede such transitions. Two alternate approaches are used to detect critical slowing down. Firstly we estimate the domain of attraction, a methodology that has been used to detect critical transitions in ecological systems, which examines the rate at which a system returns to equilibrium following a stochastic shock. Secondly, we examine the statistical properties of sovereign bond yield data for trends which have been shown to precede catastrophic regime shifts between alternate steady states in many real world dynamical systems. Our results indicate that critical transitions approach provides an alternative method to study financial market crashes and the phenomenon of critical slowing down estimated from the statistical properties of the financial data may act asa useful early warning signal in predicting the crashes.

description: We report on a theoretical study of the influence of electron-electron interactions on ARPES spectra in graphene that is based on the random-phase-approximation and on graphene's massless Dirac equation continuum model. We find that level repulsion between quasiparticle and plasmaron resonances gives rise to a gap-like feature at small k. ARPES spectra are sensitive to the electron-electron interaction coupling strength $α_{\rm gr}$ and might enable an experimental determination of this material parameter.

description: We investigate the molecular gas content and the excitation and fragmentation properties in the central region of the spiral galaxy Messier 81 in both the ^{12}CO(1-0) and ^{12}CO(2-1) transitions. We have recently observed the two transitions of CO in the M~81 center with A, B, and HERA receivers of the IRAM 30-m telescope. We find no CO emission in the inner $\sim$ 300 pc and a weak molecular gas clump structure at a distance of around 460 pc from the nucleus. Observations of the first two CO transitions allowed us to compute the line ratio, and the average I_{21}/I_{10} ratio is 0.68 for the M~81 center. This low value, atypical both of the galactic nuclei of spiral galaxies and of interacting systems, is probably associated to diffuse gas with molecular hydrogen density that is not high enough to excite the CO molecules. After analyzing the clumping properties of the molecular gas in detail, we identify very massive giant molecular associations (GMAs) in CO(2-1) emission with masses of $\sim$ 10$^{5}$ M$_\odot$ and diameters of $\sim$ 250 pc. The deduced N(H_{2})/I_{CO} ratio for the individually resolved GMAs, assumed to be virialized, is a factor of $\sim$ 15 higher than the \textit{standard} Galactic value, showing - as suspected - that the X ratio departs significantly from the mean for galaxies with an unusual physics of the molecular gas.

description: Subsidies in the world's fishing industry have long been considered to have harmful effects on fish stocks. The fishing industry has suffered from overcapacity for many years, and subsidies encourage investment, leading to greater capacity and more pressure on fish stocks, many of which are already exploited close to extinction. However, this paper argues, that not all fishery subsidies have this effect on the fish resource. In Ireland, there is evidence suggesting that fishery subsidies are used increasingly for the purpose of employment creation in disadvantaged regions, through land-based investments, rather than to increase fishing capacity. Abolishing fishery subsidies in Ireland is, therefore, not likely to have huge effects on the fishing fleet, while the effects on rural communities could be grave. For politicians ever to consider the removal of subsidies, alternative policies must be developed to assist people that live in disadvantaged regions.

description: We consider a model of a detector of ballistic electrons at the edge of a two-dimensional electron gas in the integer quantum Hall regime. The electron is detected by capacitive coupling to a gate which is also coupled to a passive RC circuit. Using a quantum description of this circuit, we determine the signal over noise ratio of the detector in term of the detector characteristics. The back-action of the detector on the incident wavepacket is then computed using a Feynman-Vernon influence functional approach. Using information theory, we define the appropriate notion of quantum limit for such an "on the fly" detector. We show that our particular detector can approach the quantum limit up to logarithms in the ratio of the measurement time over the RC relaxation time. We argue that such a weak logarithmic effect is of no practical significance. Finally we show that a two-electron interference experiment can be used to probe the detector induced decoherence.

Further investigations on the use of camphor in terpenoid synthesis
Creators: name: Clase, Juha Andrew
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The cyclopentyl compounds 113,114, and 115 and their enantiomers ent-113, ent-114 and ent-115 represent valuable chiral building blocks for the synthesis of steroids and triterpenoids. These compounds are readily available in chiral form from the Grob type cleavage of (+)-9,10-dibromocamphor (120) or (-)-9,10-dibromocamphor (ent-120) respectively. The hydroxyacid 114 was transformed into the bicyclic ester 153 in a series of seven steps, the key step of which was the intramolecular Friedel-Crafts acylation of the methylene diacid 161. The ester 153 is considered to be a valuable steroidal CD synthon, incorporating functionality for introduction of both the A and B rings and a C(20) sidechain. It was demonstrated that it was possible to alkylate the ketal 169 stereospecifically and convert the product to the enone 168 in which the steroidal C(20) centre has been established with the natural R configuration. In a second approach to steroidal precursors, the hydroxydiene 299 was prepared in six steps from the bromoester 115. The enantiomer of 299, (ent-299) represents a potentially useful intermediate in the intramolecular Diels-Alder route to A-aromatic steroids such as estrone (3), and would be readily available from ent-115. The bromoester ent-115 and (+)-5,6-dehydrocamphor (223) were combined in a synthesis of the tetracyclic hydroxyenone 252, the key step of which was the anionic oxy-Cope rearrangement of the 5,6-dehydrocamphor derivative 241. The structure 252 is considered to represent the basic tetracyclic skeleton of euphane and apo-euphane triterpenoids, and posesses suitable functionality for incorporation of methyl groups at C(10) and C(8) (apo-euphane) or C(14) (euphane), as well as oxygen substituents at those centres at which it is commonly found in the triterpenoids. Finally, a mechanistic investigation of the rearrangement of 2-methylenebornane (314) to 4-methylisobornyl acetate (315) is described. The methyl region of the ¹H NMR spectrum of 4-methylcamphor (308), derived from 314, was unambiguously assigned by a series of NMR experiments and used to trace the fate of deuterium when 2-(dideuteriomethylene)bornane (323) and 8-deuterio-2-methylenebornane (324) were subjected to the rearrangement conditions.

description: We suggest to use `fluctuation spectroscopy' as a method to detect granularity in a disordered metal close to a superconducting transition. We show that with lowering temperature $T$ the resistance $R(T)$ of a system of relatively large grains initially grows due to the fluctuation suppression of the one-electron tunneling but decreases with further lowering $T$ due to the coherent charge transfer of the fluctuation Cooper pairs. Under certain conditions, such a maximum in $R(T)$ turns out to be sensitive to weak magnetic fields due to a novel Maki -- Thompson type mechanism.

description: We consider a thick p-brane embedded in an n-dimensional spacetime possessing radial symmetry in the directions orthogonal to the brane. We first consider a static brane, and find a general fine tuning relationship between the brane and bulk parameters required for the brane to be flat. We then consider the cosmology of a time dependent brane in a static bulk, and find the Friedmann equation for the brane scale factor a(t). The singularities that would ordinarily arise when considering arbitrary codimensions are avoided by regularizing the brane, giving it a finite profile in the transverse dimensions. However, since we consider the brane to be a strictly local defect, we find that the transverse dimensions must have infinite volume, and hence gravity cannot be localized on the brane without resorting to some infra-red cutoff.

title: Effective versus Statutory Taxation: Measuring Effective Tax Administration in Transition Economies

Subjects: subject: Economics
subject: Statutory taxation
subject: Average tax rate
subject: Tax collection
subject: Effective administration
subject: Transition economies

description: Wide differences between effective or realised average tax rates and tax yields that would result if statutory tax rates were strictly applied indicate tax compliance and collection problems. Due to the greater politicisation of tax systems in transition economies (TEs), we would expect the shortfalls in effective tax yields for TEs to be larger than a benchmark for the mature market economies where tax systems are well established, the administrative capacity is stronger and tax arrears are tolerated less frequently. The methodology involves calculating an effective/statutory (E/S) tax ratio. Initial results indicate that the leading TEs have E/S ratios similar to the EU average. We find a positive correlation between progress in transition and effective tax administration, as measured by our E/S ratio. For slow reformers, the effectiveness of tax collection appears to vary with the extent of state control. Those TEs that have maintained the apparatus of the state have done well in tax collection compared to those countries where there is evidence of state decay. This raises a number of broad policy issues relating to the speed of transition, the interaction of politics and economic reforms, the capacity of the state to govern and the need for market institutions to develop.

description: We study heat conduction in (n, 0)/(2n, 0) intramolecular junctions by using molecular dynamics method. It is found that the heat conduction is asymmetric, namely, heat transports preferably in one direction. This phenomenon is also called thermal rectification. The rectification is weakly dependent on the detailed structure of connection part, but is strongly dependent on the temperature gradient. We also study the effect of the tube radius and intramolecular junction length on the rectification. Our study shows that the tensile stress can increase rectification. The physical mechanism of the rectification is explained.

subject: Intergenerational redistribution

description: This paper tries to quantify the degree of intergenerational redistribution in Irish public expenditure. The development of a large public debt in the space of two decades, its rapid elimination and potential rise again in the next decades due to demographic changes is likely to result in an intergenerational transfer of resources. The paper utilises a database of public expenditure, together with the age incidence distribution of public expenditure to examine the generational net beneficiaries of public spending programs since the foundation of the state in 1921. Demographic and alternative economic scenarios are considered to estimate the lifetime net benefit from public expenditure. Finally the sustainability of current expenditure is examined through the creation of generational accounts.
The $qqqq\bar{q}$ components and the magnetic moments of the charmed and the bottomed baryons
Creators: name: An, Chun-Sheng
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We give the explicit wave functions of the $qqqq\bar{q}$ components of the C=+1, J=1/2 charmed baryons, $Σ_{c}$, $Λ_{c}$ and $Ξ_{c}^{a}$, and calculate the magnetic moments by adding the 5q components contributions, and we also compute the magnetic moments of the $Σ_{b}$ and $Σ_{b}^{*}$ baryons. The influence of the additional light and strange $q\bar{q}$ pairs is investigated. It's obvious that the constituent quark masses of the charm and beauty quarks are much heavier than that of the light and strange quarks, consequently, the hidden flavor contributions to the baryons magnetic moments may be significant. What is interesting is that the inclusion of the $qqqq\bar{q}$ components contributions leads to different $Λ^{+}_{c}$, $Ξ^{a+}_{c}$ and $Ξ^{a0}_{c}$ magnetic moments, all of which are predicted to be the same value $0.38μ_{N}$ on the basis of the classical qqq quark model. And it's shown that the differences of these magnetic moments are independent of the constituent mass of the charm quark.

description: Four mosaics of deep, continuum-subtracted, CCD images have been obtained over the extensive galactic radio continuum shell, W 50, which surrounds the remarkable stellar system SS 433. Two of these mosaics in the Halpha+[N II] and [O III] 5007 A emission lines respectively cover a field of ~2.3 x 2.5 degr^2 which contains all of W 50 but at a low angular resolution of 5 arcsec. The third and fourth mosaics cover the eastern (in [O III] 5007 A) and western (in Halpha+[N II]) filamentary nebulosity respectively but at an angular resolution of 1 arcsec. These observations are supplemented by new low dispersion spectra and longslit, spatially resolved echelle spectra. The [O III] 5007 A images show for the first time the distribution of this emission in both the eastern and western filaments while new Halpha+[N II] emission features are also found in both of these regions. Approaching flows of faintly emitting material from the bright eastern filaments of up 100 km/s in radial velocity are detected. The present observations also suggest that the heliocentric systemic radial velocity of the whole system is 56+-2 km/s. Furthermore, very deep imagery and high resolution spectroscopy of a small part of the northern radio ridge of W 50 has revealed for the first time the very faint optical nebulosity associated with this edge. It is suggested that patchy foreground dust along the ~5 kpc sightline is inhibiting the detection of all of the optical nebulosity associated with W 50. The interaction of the microquasar jets of SS 433 with the W 50 shell is discussed.

description: Since 1984, electric cell-substrate impedance sensing (ECIS) has been used to monitor cell behavior in tissue culture and has proven sensitive to cell morphological changes and cell motility. We have taken ECIS measurements on several cultures of non-cancerous (HOSE) and cancerous (SKOV) human ovarian surface epithelial cells. By analyzing the noise in real and imaginary electrical impedance, we demonstrate that it is possible to distinguish the two cell types purely from signatures of their electrical noise. Our measures include power-spectral exponents, Hurst and detrended fluctuation analysis, and estimates of correlation time; principal-component analysis combines all the measures. The noise from both cancerous and non-cancerous cultures shows correlations on many time scales, but these correlations are stronger for the non-cancerous cells.

description: Two policy instruments, input taxes and regulations, can be used to deal with nitrate pollution. However, in practice command and control (CAC) measures such as input regulations and management practices, as outlined in Action Programmes under the EU Nitrates Directive (Council Directive of 12 December 1991 concerning the protection of waters against pollution caused by nitrates from agricultural sources (91/676/EEC), rather than economic instruments, are commonly used to deal with nitrate pollution from agricultural sources. Action Programmes are meant to ensure that the applications of nitrogen to farmland are within limits calculated to avoid a level of nitrate emissions to water supplies that would put them above the concentration limit of 50mg/litre specified in the Directive. The premise of the Action Programmes is that farmers should take all reasonable steps to prevent or minimise the application to land of fertilisers in excess of crop requirements. To this end the Irish Action Programme specifies that the amount of livestock manure applied in any year to land on a holding, together with that deposited on land by livestock, cannot exceed an amount containing 170kg nitrogen per hectare (ha) and also sets limits on the application of inorganic (manufactured) nitrogen. However, the objective of the Nitrates Directive, at least in terms of organic and inorganic nitrogen application rates, could theoretically be achieved by imposing a tax on nitrogen inputs. This paper tests the hypotheses that the objectives of the Nitrates Directive, in terms of organic and inorganic N application rates, would be more effectively and more equitably achieved by regulation, than by a tax. The results of the analysis indicate that this is the case.
New annulation methods : total synthesis of the diterpenoid (+--)-ambliol B
Creators: name: Marais, Pierre Christiaan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The preparation of bicyclic systems containing an allylic, angular hydroxyl group (general structure 20 and compound 87b) is described. These materials have been prepared via a new annulation sequence involving (a) the alkylation of cyclic ketones with the bifunctional conjunctive reagents 129, 21 and 60, (b) the conversion of the alkylation products into keto vinyl iodides, and (c) cyclization of the keto vinyl iodides via low temperature metal halogen exchange with n-butyllithium. The cyclization process described in (c) has been employed in the first total synthesis of the diterpenoid (±)-ambliol B (94). Thus, 3,4-dimethyl-2-cyclohexen-l-one (96) was converted, in three steps, into the unstable enone 125. Reaction of this compound with the novel vinylgermane cuprate 110, followed by reaction of the resultant product with iodine, gave the cyclization precursor 106. Cyclization of 106 gave a single, trans-fused product (128) in high yield. The exocyclic methylene function of 128 was cyclopropanated and the vinyl substituent of the resultant cyclopropane was hydroborated to give the cyclopropane diol 149. Hydrogenolysis of the cyclopropane ring of compound 149 provided the required gem-dimethyl moiety. The resultant product was converted into (±)-ambliol B (94) via a four step sequence of reactions involving (a) oxidation of the primary alcohol function, (b) addition of 3-furyllithium to the so-formed unstable aldehyde, (c) acetylation of the secondary alcohol prepared in (b), and (d) reductive removal of the acetoxy function. A new annulation sequence which utilizes the vinylgermane cuprate 110 as a synthetic equivalent of the 1-butene a²,d⁴-synthon 153 is described. Thus, cyclic enones of the general structure 154 were treated with 110 to provide the keto vinylgermane intermediates 155. The latter materials were transformed into the corresponding keto vinyl iodides 156. Treatment of 156 with a palladium(0) catalyst and a base resulted in cyclization to provide the annulation products 157 or, when R₁ = H, the α,β-unsaturated ketones 185. [ Formulas omitted ]

description: We perform an analytical study of the Integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect within the framework of Unified Dark Matter models based on a scalar field which aim at a unified description of dark energy and dark matter. Computing the temperature power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropies we are able to isolate those contributions that can potentially lead to strong deviations from the usual ISW effect occurring in a $Λ$CDM universe. This helps to highlight the crucial role played by the sound speed in the Unified Dark Matter models. Our treatment is completely general in that all the results depend only on the speed of sound of the dark component and thus it can be applied to a variety of unified models, including those which are not described by a scalar field but relies on a single dark fluid.

description: Αντικείμενο αυτής της διατριβής είναι η ανθρωποκεντρική ανάλυση και η σημασιολογική περιγραφή βίντεο. Αναπτύσσονται καινοτόμες τεχνικές σε διάϕορες περιοχές της σημασιολογικής περιγραφής βίντεο. Τα αποτελέσματα που παρουσιάζονται είναι προϊόν πολυετούς έρευνας στο πλαίσιο της εκπόνησης της διατριβής αυτής. Η ανθρωποκεντρική ανάλυση βίντεο είναι ένα σχετικά νέο πεδίο το οποίο προσπαθεί να συνδυάσει διάφορες παλιότερες τεχνικές μαζί με καινούργιες μέσα σε ένα ενιαίο πλαίσιο που να ασχολείται κυρίως με την εμφάνιση ανθρώπων σε βίντεο. Είναι κοινή παραδοχή ότι ο ανθρώπινος παράγοντας αποτελεί κυρίαρχη πληροφορία για κάθε περαιτέρω σημασιολογική ανάλυση ενός βίντεο. Η ανθρωποκεντρική ανάλυση βίντεο ασχολείται με την κατάσταση των ανθρώπων που εμφανίζονται σε ένα βίντεο καθώς, επίσης, και με τη διαφοροποίηση της κατάστασής τους στην διάρκεια ενός βίντεο.
description: The subject of the present thesis is anthropocentric analysis and semantic video description. We developed innovative techniques in various areas of the video semantic description field. The results presented are the product of years of research in the formulation of this thesis. The anthropocentric video analysis is a relatively new field that attempts to combine various old and new techniques together into a single framework that deals mainly with the appearance of people in video. It is a common assumption that the human factor is dominant for any further semantic analysis of a video. The anthropocentric video analysis deals with the situation of people who appear in a video as well the diversification of their condition during a video.
Effect of Holstein phonons on the electronic properties of graphene

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: We obtain the self-energy of the electronic propagator due to the presence of Holstein polarons within the first Born approximation. This leads to a renormalization of the Fermi velocity of one percent. We further compute the optical conductivity of the system at the Dirac point and at finite doping within the Kubo-formula. We argue that the effects due to Holstein phonons are negligible and that the Boltzmann approach which does not include inter-band transition and can thus not treat optical phonons due to their high energy of $\hbarω_0\sim0.1-0.2$eV, remains valid.

description: This paper is concerned with the relevance of the macroeconomic theory of income distribution to the ?new? growth theory. Specifically, it shows that the Cambridge equation, originally outlined in the context of the Harrod-Domar growth model, and then extended to Solow?s (1956) neoclassical model, may also be derived in the case of Jones?s (1995, 2002) semi-endogenous growth theory.
Temperature of a Hamiltonian system given as the effective temperature of a non-equilibrium steady state Langevin thermostat

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In non-equilibrium steady states (NESS) far from equilibrium, it is known that the Einstein relation is violated. Then, the ratio of the diffusion coefficient to the mobility is called an effective temperature, and the physical relevance of this effective temperature has been studied in several works. Although the physical relevance is not yet completely clear, it has been found that the role of an effective temperature in NESS is indeed analogous to that of the temperature in equilibrium systems in a number of respects. In this paper, we find further evidence establishing this analogy. We employ a non-equilibrium Langevin system as a thermostat for a Hamiltonian system and find that the kinetic temperature of this Hamiltonian system is equal to the effective temperature of the thermostat.

Horse plasma vitamin D-binding protein : isolation and structural investigation
Creators: name: Robinson, Robert Charles
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) is an abundant serum protein, secreted by the liver, which transports vitamin D sterols and is part of an actin scavenging system. In this study, DBP was isolated from horse plasma in a highly reproducible, four step procedure: Affi-gel Blue affinity chromatography, gel filtration, hydroxy1apatite chromatography and anion exchange HPLC. 6-7 mg of DBP were obtained from 80 ml of plasma with a yield of 21-25%. The secondary structure of DBP was calculated from circular dichroism measurements to be 39% α-helix, 42% β-sheet and 19% random coil. A molecular mass of 53,000 ± 3,000 daltons was calculated from electrophoretic gels. Circular dichroism and fluorescence studies revealed that the disulphide bonds of DBP contribute substantial structural stabilization to the molecule with respect to thermal denaturation. Finally, acrylodan-labeled DBP was prepared. The fluorescence of this adduct was sensitive to the binding of actin and to the presence of dithiothreitol.

description: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the modality of choice for evaluating knee joint degeneration, but it can be susceptible to long acquisition times, tedious post processing, and lack of standardization. One of the most compelling applications of deep learning, therefore, is accelerated analysis of knee MRI. In addition to faster MRI acquisition, deep learning has enhanced image post-processing applications such as tissue segmentation. While fast, undersampled MRI acquisition may not have qualitative, visual acuity that comes from fully-sampled data, the underlying embedding space may be adequate for some applications. The implications for down-stream tasks such as tissue segmentation using convolutional neural networks are not well-characterized. Efficient segmentation of key anatomical structures from undersampled data is an open question that has clinical relevance, e.g., patient triage. The goal of this challenge, therefore, is to train segmentation models from 8x undersampled knee MRI.
 We have curated a dataset of high-resolution 3D knee MRI including raw k-space data and post-processing annotations with masks for tissue segmentation. The 8x undersampled , multi-channel k-space data of 300 fatsuppressed 3D FSE Cube sequences along with segmentation masks of cartilage, meniscus, and bone will be shared as part of the challenge. Fully-sampled images will be shared for training as auxiliary information, but will not be available for inference on the test set.
 Submissions will be evaluated in an end-to-end fashion from undersampled k-space data to segmentation on a test set of 200 fat-suppressed FSE-Cube sequences (undersampling pattern same with training data).

description: The dissertation entitled "The Church's of Cyprus relations with the World Council of Churches during the period of Archbishop Makarios III, 1950-1977," prepared by Mr. Christakis Christoforou, highlights an issue that has so far not received specialized research. In order to write this dissertation the author used a large number of documents found after a long time research in the Archives of the World Council of Churches (Geneva) and those of the Church of Cyprus (Nicosia). These are letters, telegrams, reports, statements, memoranda, minutes of the Synod of the Church of Cyprus, and other documents, the content of which is getting known for first time. The dissertation consists of four chapters in total. The first three chapters are corresponding to the three chronological phases of the period of Archbishop Makarios III (1950-1977). In the fourth chapter the author makes a specific reference to the consequences of the relations of the Church of Cyprus with the WCC during the period of Archbishop Makarios III. The presentation of the theme of the dissertation was attempted historical, theological and sociological.
