Saint Mary's Mission (Mission City, British Columbia) 1861 to 1900
Creators: name: Clark, Melanie Ann Jones
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This thesis examines the pre-1900 relationship between the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, a French order of Roman Catholic priests, and the Sto:lo of the Fraser Valley. It considers the effects of the strict and inflexible Oblate system on the Sto:lo. Primary sources for this study were found at the Oblate Archives, the Archives of the Sisters of St. Ann, and from various oral testimonies. Under a regime called the "Durieu System", the Oblates encouraged the creation of segregated, self-sufficient agricultural villages on Sto:lo reserves. Ecclesiastically appointed watchmen recorded the names of transgressors against the Oblate "norms" of behaviour. No deviation was tolerated under this regime of surveillance and segregation. The thesis focuses on the Sto:lo children sent to the residential school at St. Mary's Mission; Sister Mary Lumena's diaries and the reminisces of a Metis student, Cornelius Kelleher, were the main sources of information. There were two schools on the site; the boys' under Oblate control, the girls' under the supervision of the Sisters of St.Ann. The schools were residential because the Oblates sought to isolate the children from Sto:lo elders who adhered to the "old ways". At school, children spoke only English and learned by rote-recitation. Sto:lo cosmology was replaced with the Roman Catholic religion. To prevent "immorality", the Oblates segregated the pupils from outsiders and the opposite sex; even their parent's visits were supervised. The school was self-sufficient so as to keep contact with the outside world at a minimum. The Oblates held a utopian vision of a docile, pious, capable, Roman Catholic peasantry. They hoped former pupils would return to their village and educate others or settle in agricultural villages under Oblate control. However, as this study shows, most pupils were orphans or Metis and did not have much influence in their village. This thesis suggests that the small numbers who attended St. Mary's found the transition between the Oblate and Sto:lo worlds difficult to make. Present-day informants described their reactions (which ranged from negative to ambivalent) to the residential school system and the effects of cultural confusion on their lives.

description: We consider the reachability and shortest path problems on low tree-width graphs, with n nodes, m edges, and tree-width t, on a standard RAM with wordsize W. We use O to hide polynomial factors of the inverse of the Ackermann function. Our main contributions are three fold: 1. For reachability, we present an algorithm that requires O(n·t2·log(n/t)) preprocessing time, O(n·(t·log(n/t))/W) space, and O(t/W) time for pair queries and O((n·t)/W) time for single-source queries. Note that for constant t our algorithm uses O(n·logn) time for preprocessing; and O(n/W) time for single-source queries, which is faster than depth first search/breath first search (after the preprocessing). 2. We present an algorithm for shortest path that requires O(n·t2) preprocessing time, O(n·t) space, and O(t2) time for pair queries and O(n·t) time single-source queries. 3. We give a space versus query time trade-off algorithm for shortest path that, given any constant >0, requires O(n·t2) preprocessing time, O(n·t2) space, and O(n1−·t2) time for pair queries. Our algorithms improve all existing results, and use very simple data structures.

description: LXeGRIT - Liquid Xenon Gamma-Ray Imaging Telescope - is the first prototype of a Compton telescope for \MeV \g-ray astrophysics based on a LXe time projection chamber. One of the most relevant figures of merit for a Compton telescope is the detection efficiency for \g-rays, which depends on diverse contributions such as detector geometry and passive materials, trigger efficiency, dead time, etc. A detailed study of the efficiency of the LXeGRIT instrument, based both on laboratory measurements and Monte Carlo simulations, is presented in this paper.

description: We consider the ground-state phase diagram of a one-dimensional spin-1/2 XXZ chain with spatially modulated Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in the presence of applied along with the $\hat{z}$ axis alternating magnetic field. The model is studied using the continuum-limit bosonization approach and the finite system exact numerical technique. In the absence of the magnetic field, the ground-state phase diagram of the model includes besides the ferromagnetic and gapless Luttiger-Liquid (LL) phases two gapped phases, the composite (C1) phase characterized by the coexistence of the long-range-ordered (LRO) alternating dimerization and the spin chirality patterns, and the composite (C2) phase characterized in addition to the coexisting spin dimerization and alternating chirality patterns, by the presence of LRO antiferromagnetic order. In the case of two-letter gapped phases, in the case of a uniform magnetic field, the commensurate-incommensurate type quantum phase transitions (QPT) from a gapful phase into the gapless phase have been identified and described using the bosonization treatment and finite chain exact diagonalizations studies. The upper critical magnetic field corresponding to the transition into a fully polarized state has been also determined. It has been shown that the very presence of the staggered component of the magnetic field vapes out the composite (C1) in favour of the composite gapped (C2) phase.

description: We give a prescription for constructing a Lanczos potential for a cosmological model which is a purely gravitational perturbation of a Friedman-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker space-time. For the radiation equation of state, we find the Lanczos potential explicitly via Fourier transforms. As an application, we follow up a suggestion of Penrose and propose a definition of gravitational entropy for these cosmologies. With this definition, the gravitational entropy initially is finite if and only if the initial Weyl tensor is finite.

description: The complex differentiation hierarchy and cellular heterogeneity of various cell populations in breast cancer (BRCA) were important factors affecting bone metastasis and response to therapy. Nevertheless, there is still lack of a more precise classification system for current therapeutic strategies. UMAP analysis identified nine clusters and three spot types (immune spots, stromal spots and malignant spots), with 11 differentiation states further recapitulated from 2493 malignant spots. We constructed a novel BRCA stratification system (subtype Ⅰ, subtype Ⅱ, subtype Ⅲ and subtype Ⅳ) with prognosis getting worse in order, biological plausibility and clinical significance. Regulation networks were constructed along different development trajectories based on key cell fate-related genes, metastasis-related pathways, transcription factor, immune gene sets, immune cells and RPPA, investigating the relationships between primary and bone metastasis BRCA. Finally, we identified the most significant inhibitors (puromycin, MS-275, megestrol and esculetin) for bone-metastatic BRCA via targeting cell fate-related genes. Validation of large clinical cohort samples confirmed that our molecular/cell-based stratification system had strong translational medical value. In all, we revealed the complex cellular heterogeneity and a differentiated hierarchy of cell subpopulations underlying BRCA bone metastasis. We constructed a novel precise BRCA molecular/cell-based stratification system with potential diagnostic and prognostic cell fate-related markers.

description: Στόχος της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι η διερεύνηση της σεισμικής συμπεριφοράς μονών και δίδυμων κυκλικών σηράγγων, όπως αυτή επηρεάζεται από την ύπαρξη υπέργειων κατασκευών στην κοντινή περιοχή των σηράγγων. Το αντικείμενο αυτό αφορά την πλειονότητα των αστικών κέντρων, όπου οι θεμελιώσεις των υπέργειων κατασκευών απέχουν λίγα μέτρα από τις σήραγγες. Η ύπαρξη υπόγειων και υπέργειων κατασκευών σε κοντινές αποστάσεις οδηγεί στη δημιουργία ενός πολύπλοκου δυναμικού συστήματος σηράγγων - εδάφους - υπέργειων κατασκευών, το οποίο επηρεάζει την τελική απόκριση όλων των εμπλεκόμενων κατασκευών. Για τη μελέτη του δυναμικού συστήματος πραγματοποιείται παραμετρική διερεύνηση, η οποία περιλαμβάνει μια σειρά δυναμικών αναλύσεων στο πεδίο του χρόνου. Η αριθμητική προσομοίωση πραγματοποιείται σε συνθήκες επίπεδης παραμόρφωσης, κάνοντας χρήση του κώδικα ανάλυσης πεπερασμένων στοιχείων ABAQUS. Δημιουργούνται δισδιάστατα προσομοιώματα που αντιστοιχούν στην εγκάρσια διεύθυνση των σηράγγων. Οι παράμετροι που διαφοροποιούνται στις αναλύσεις είναι ο αριθμός των κυκλικών σηράγγων, η σχετική δυσκαμψία εδάφους-σήραγγας, το βάθος εγκιβωτισμού της σήραγγας, ο αριθμός και η θέση των υπέργειων κατασκευών και οι σεισμικές διεγέρσεις. Τα αποτελέσματα παρουσιάζονται σε όρους εδαφικών ωθήσεων, διατμητικών τάσεων και εντατικών μεγεθών της σήραγγας. Επίσης, γίνεται μια προσπάθεια γενίκευσης των αποτελεσμάτων των παραμετρικών αναλύσεων, τα οποία συγκρίνονται και με αναλυτικές σχέσεις από τη βιβλιογραφία σε όρους λόγων R-F.
description: The purpose of the present thesis is to investigate the seismic behavior of single and double circular, accounting for the presence of aboveground structures in the near area of the tunnels. This study mainly concerns urban areas, where the foundations of aboveground structures are located close to tunnels. The presence of aboveground structures in the adjacent area of tunnels leads to complex interaction phenomena, which affect the behavior of the structures. In this thesis, a series of parametric analyses is performed under strain plane conditions, using the finite code ABAQUS. 2D models are created to examine the problem in the transversal direction. The parameters included in the analyses are the number of circular tunnels, the tunnel burial depth, the soil to tunnel relative flexibility, the number and the location of the aboveground structures and the seismic input motion. The results are presented in terms of stresses and lining internal forces. Moreover, the results are generalized and compared with analytical results using closed form solutions available in literature in terms of R-F relations.
The effect of forest fertilization on the ectomycorrhizae of western hemlock (tsuga heterophylla)

Year: 2008

description: Granular urea (46% N) was applied at rates of 224 Kg N/ha and448 Kg N/ha to 4x4 m plots within a 20 yr. old stand composed almost exclusively of western hemlock [Tsuga heterophylla (Rafn.)Sarg.], located in the Mount Seymour Demonstration Forest, North Vancouver, British Columbia. Changes in the abundance of 10mycorrhizal types (Cenococcum geophilum Fr., Lactarius scrobiculatus (Scop.) ex. Fr., Mycelium radicis atrovirens Melin, Thelephora terrestris Fr., 3 Russula morphotypes, 2 unidentified basidiomycetes and a morphotype which formed no mantle) were assessed using random soil cores taken at 0, 1, 3, 6, and 11months after fertilization. On both treated and control plots, total number of fine roots and number of basidiomycetousmycorrhizae remained constant while Cenococcum mycorrhizae decreased and those lacking mantles increased. As the observed changes were independent of treatment level and pH, it is assumed that colonization was influenced by the sampling procedure, which involved the clearing of slash and the removal of forest floor material. Silvicultural practices which bring about physical changes to the forest floor may then have a greater impact on hemlock mycorrhizae than the chemical changes caused by forest fertilization.

description: General solutions to the quantum Rabi model involve subspaces with unbounded number of photons. However, for the multiqubit multimode case, we find special solutions with at most one photon for arbitrary number of qubits and photon modes. Unlike the Juddian solution, ours exists for arbitrary single qubit-photon coupling strength with constant eigenenergy. This corresponds to a horizontal line in the spectrum, while still being a qubit-photon entangled state. As a possible application, we propose an adiabatic scheme for the fast generation of arbitrary single-photon multimode W states with nonadiabatic error less than 1%. Finally, we propose a superconducting circuit design, showing the experimental feasibility of the multimode multiqubit Rabi model.

description: We present results from our Very Large Telescope large program to study the dynamical evolution of local Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs) and QSOs. This paper is the second in a series presenting the stellar kinematics of 54 ULIRGs, derived from high resolution, long-slit H- and K-band spectroscopy. The data presented here, including observations of 17 new targets, are mainly focused on sources that have coalesced into a single nucleus. The stellar kinematics, extracted from the CO ro-vibrational bandheads in our spectra, indicate that ULIRG remnants are dynamically heated systems with a mean dispersion of 161 km/s. The combination of kinematic, structural, and photometric properties of the remnants indicate that they mostly originate from major mergers and that they result in the formation of systems supported by random motions, therefore, elliptical galaxies. The peak of the velocity dispersion distribution and the locus of ULIRGs on the fundamental plane of early-type galaxies indicate that the end products of ultraluminous mergers are typically moderate-mass ellipticals (of stellar mass ~10^10 - 10^11 M_sun). Converting the host dispersion into black hole mass with the aid of the M_BH-sigma relation yields black hole mass estimates of the order 10^7 - 10^8 M_sun and high accretion rates with Eddington efficiencies often >0.5.

description: In gravity theories derived from a f(R) Lagrangian, matter is usually supposed to be minimally coupled to the metric, which hence defines a ``Jordan frame.'' However, since the field equations are fourth order, gravity possesses an extra degree of freedom on top of the standard graviton, as is manifest from its equivalent description in the conformally related, Einstein, frame. We introduce explicitly this extra scalar degree of freedom in the action and couple it to matter, so that the original metric no longer defines a Jordan frame. This ``detuning'' puts f(R) gravity into a wider class of scalar--tensor theories. We argue that a ``chameleon-like'' detuning tracing the background matter density may provide purely gravitational models which account for the present acceleration of the universe and evade local gravity constraints.

description: Using a magnitude-limited, spectroscopic survey of the X-ray luminous galaxy cluster MS1054-03, we isolate 153 cluster galaxies and measure MS1054's redshift and velocity dispersion to be z=0.8307 and sigma_z=1156 km/s. The absorption-line, post-starburst (``E+A''), and emission-line galaxies respectively make up 63%, 15%, and 23% of the cluster population. With photometry from HST/ACS, we find that the absorption-line members define an exceptionally tight red sequence over a span of ~3.5 magnitudes in i775: their intrinsic scatter in (V-i) color is only 0.048, corresponding to a (U-B)_z scatter of 0.041. Their color scatter is comparable to that of the ellipticals (sigma_Vi=0.055), but measurably smaller than that of the combined E+S0 sample (sigma_Vi=0.072). The color scatter of MS1054's absorption-line population is approximately twice that of the ellipticals in Coma; this difference is consistent with passive evolution where most of the absorption-line members (>75%) formed by z~2, and all of them by z~1.2. For red members, we find a trend (>95% confidence) of weakening Hdelta absorption with redder colors that we conclude is due to age: in MS1054, the color scatter on the red sequence is driven by differences in mean stellar age of up to ~1.5 Gyr. We also generate composite spectra and estimate that the average S0 in MS1054 is ~0.5-1 Gyr younger than the average elliptical; this difference in mean stellar age is mainly due to a number of S0s that are blue (18%) and/or are post-starburst systems (21%).

description: A metal organic framework (MOF)-based monolithic column was prepared by in situ polymerization using modified MIL-101-NH2 and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) as monomers. The monolithic column was used as a solid phase extraction (SPE) adsorbent for on-line enrichment and preliminary purification of diosmetin in traditional Chinese medicine. After being characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and nitrogen adsorption-desorption, the advantages of the monolithic column with MIL-101-NH2 added were reflected in the pore structure and specific surface area. The monolithic column for SPE had a linear relationship from 0.13 µg/mL to 5.0 × 102 µg/mL. The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantification (LOQ) were 0.04 µg/mL and 0.13 µg/mL, respectively. The recovery was from 96% to 104%, and the intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviations (RSDs) were below 1.1%. This method was suitable for the determination of diosmetin in complex samples.

description: Τα έργα κατασκευής υπόγειων σιδηροδρομικών συστημάτων μεταφοράς (μετρό) αποτελούν σημαντικό κομμάτι της κοινωνικής και οικονομικής ανάπτυξης μιας πόλης. Το ίδιο ισχύει και στην περίπτωση της Θεσσαλονίκης όπου το έργο του μετρό, το οποίο βρίσκεται υπό κατασκευή, αναμένεται να αναβαθμίσει την ποιότητα ζωής και μετακίνησης των πολιτών. Όσο αφορά το μετρό Θεσσαλονίκης η κατασκευή του ξεκίνησε το 2006 και αναμενόταν να διαρκέσει έξι χρόνια. Λόγω διαφόρων προβλημάτων που προέκυψαν, τα οποία οφείλονται κυρίως σε θέματα αρχαιοτήτων και απαλλοτριώσεων καθώς και σε κάποιους άλλους αστάθμητους παράγοντες, έγινε νέος σχεδιασμός για το έργο σύμφωνα με τον οποίο ως καταληκτικό έτος παράδοσης του έργου ορίζεται το 2020. Στα πλαίσιο της παρούσας εργασίας γίνεται επισκόπηση των βασικών χαρακτηριστικών του έργου καθώς και οικονομική αξιολόγηση των δύο αυτών σχεδιασμών του. Σκοπός είναι η σύγκριση των μελετών οικονομικής αξιολόγησης για τους δυο αυτούς σχεδιασμούς καθώς και η επισήμανση του τρόπου επιρροής της υπέρβασης του κόστους στις μελέτες. Τέλος στα πλαίσια της παρούσας εργασίας γίνεται εξαγωγή βασικών συμπερασμάτων σχετικά με τους κύριους παράγοντες που οδήγησαν στην καθυστέρηση του έργου, τις απώλειες των οφελών του γενικού συνόλου αλλά και την βιωσιμότητα και την σκοπιμότητα του έργου.
description: The construction of underground public transport systems (Metro) is an important part of the social and economic development of a city. This, also, applies in the case of the Thessaloniki Metro project, which is under construction, and is expected to enhance the quality of life and transportation of the citizens. Regarding the Thessaloniki Metro, construction began in 2006 and was expected to last six years. Due to various problems arose, which are mainly due to antiquities and expropriation issues, a new design was made for the project under which the final year that the project is expected to be 2020. This study’s aim is to provide an overview of the key project characteristics and the financial and economic evaluation of the two designs. This thesis’ objective is also to compare the cost – benefit analyses for both of these designs as well as pointing out in which way the cost overruns influenced these studies. Finally, another result of this study aims is to conclude on the main factors that led to the delay of the project, the losses of the benefits as well as the viability and feasibility of the project.

description: The first sensors of the IceCube neutrino observatory were deployed at the South Pole during the austral summer of 2004-05 and have been producing data since February 2005. One string of 60 sensors buried in the ice and a surface array of 8 ice Cherenkov tanks took data until December 2005 when deployment of the next set of strings and tanks began. We have analyzed these data, demonstrating that the performance of the system meets or exceeds design requirements. Times are determined across the whole array to a relative precision of better than 3 nanoseconds, allowing reconstruction of muon tracks and light bursts in the ice, of air-showers in the surface array and of events seen in coincidence by surface and deep-ice detectors separated by up to 2.5 km.

description: Purpose of this study is to investigate parametric techniques for improving the mechanical characteristics of the retained embankment quay of a typical concrete gravity wall, which is part of the port facility THPA (Thessaloniki Port Authority), using mixtures of coarse granulated materials with recycled car tires, as well as their influence on the variation of seismic response of the wall. For this purpose place a series of two-dimensional (2D) equivalent linear analysis using a finite plane strain element program (ABAQUS). The results obtained in terms of accelerations and displacements at the free surface of the embankment and over the wall and in terms of impulses on the wall and at a distance from that estimated on the response of the "improved" retained soil.

description: Network lifetime is always a challenging issue in battery-powered networks due to the difficulty of recharging or replacing nodes in some scenarios. Clustering methods are a promising approach to tackle this challenge and prolong lifetime by efficiently distributing tasks among nodes in the cluster. The present study aimed to improve energy consumption in heterogeneous IoT devices using an energy-aware clustering method. In a heterogeneous IoT network, nodes (i.e., battery-powered IoT devices) can have a variety of energy profiles and communication capabilities. Most of the existing clustering algorithms have neglected the heterogeneity of energy capacity among nodes and assumed that they are of the same energy level. In this work, we present HetEng, a Cluster Head (CH) selection process that extended an existing clustering algorithm, named Smart-BEEM. To this end, we proposed a statistical approach that distributes energy consumption among highly energetic nodes in the network topology by constantly changing the CH role between the nodes based on their real energy levels (in joules). Experimental results showed that HetEng resulted in a 6.6% increase of alive nodes and 3% improvement in residual energy among the nodes in comparison with SmartBEEM. Moreover, our method reduced the total number of iterations by 1% on average.

description: At high Reynolds number, the interaction between two vortex tubes leads to intense velocity gradients, which are at the heart of fluid turbulence. This vorticity amplification comes about through two different instability mechanisms of the initial vortex tubes, assumed anti-parallel and with a mirror plane of symmetry. At moderate Reynolds number, the tubes destabilize via a Crow instability, with the nonlinear development leading to strong flattening of the cores into thin sheets. These sheets then break down into filaments which can repeat the process. At higher Reynolds number, the instability proceeds via the elliptical instability, producing vortex tubes that are perpendicular to the original tube directions. In this work, we demonstrate that these same transition between Crow and Elliptical instability occurs at moderate Reynolds number when we vary the initial angle $β$ between two straight vortex tubes. We demonstrate that when the angle between the two tubes is close to $π/2$, the interaction between tubes leads to the formation of thin vortex sheets. The subsequent breakdown of these sheets involves a twisting of the paired sheets, followed by the appearance of a localized cloud of small scale vortex structures. At smaller values of the angle $β$ between the two tubes, the breakdown mechanism changes to an elliptic cascade-like mechanism. Whereas the interaction of two vortices depends on the initial condition, the rapid formation of fine-scales vortex structures appears to be a robust feature, possibly universal at very high Reynolds numbers.

description: We investigate the thermodynamic properties of a field-induced supersolid phase in a 2D quantum antiferromagnet model. Using quantum Monte Carlo simulations, a very rich phase diagram is mapped out in the temperature - magnetic field plane, with an extended supersolid region where a diagonal (solid) order coexists with a finite XY spin stiffness (superfluid). The various quantum and thermal transitions out of the supersolid state are characterized. Experimental consequences in the context of field-induced magnetization plateau materials are briefly discussed.

Influence of social housing conditions on mouse mammary tumor growth and behavior

description: Epidemiological evidence suggests that human breast cancer may be influenced by a number of psychosocial factors. In the present study we investigated psychosocial variables that may influence growth of the Shionogi mouse mammary carcinoma (SC115). Change in social housing condition, direction of change [individual to group (IG) or group to individual (GI)), group size, sibling relationship and dominance were the major variables examined. Male mice were housed from weaning in groups (G) or individually housed (I), and at age 2-4 months mice were injected with 3 x 106 tumor cells/mouse and placed into four treatment conditions. In the first two treatments, animals remained in their rearing conditions, group (GG) or individual (II); in the remaining treatments, animals were rehoused from group to individual (GI) or individual to group (IG). All animals were exposed to daily novelty stress in the post-injection period. The frequency of aggressive, defensive, social, nonsocial, sleep and fighting behaviors were measured three times per week in the home cage for about 10 days before and 17-18 days after tumor cell injection and rehousing. Behavioral frequencies were also measured immediately after each exposure to daily novelty stress. Rehousing from group to individual (GI) produced the highest tumor growth rates, and rehousing from individual to group (IG) produced the lowest tumor growth rates. Animals remaining in their rearing conditions (GG and II) showed tumor growth rates intermediate to the rehoused animals. Thus, changes in housing rather than individual or group housing per se, were found to be modulators of tumor growth rate. In the IG treatment, dominant mice showed faster tumor growth than subordinate mice, whereas in the GG treatment, dominant mice showed slower tumor growth than subordinate mice. Within the IG treatment, no sibling groups of three (IN3) showed the highest tumor growth rates. Pre-injection, individually housed animals showed more nonsocial behavior and less sleep than group housed animals, and groups of three showed more social behaviors than groups of five. In both the pre- and post-injection groups, dominant animals displayed a more active role than subordinate animals in agonistic, social and nonsocial behaviors. Post-injection, overall behavioral activity was highest on the day of injection and rehousing. GI mice showed more nonsocial behavior and less sleep than IG mice. For group housed animals, IG mice showed more defensive and fighting behaviors than GG mice. Active, passive and total social behaviors were highest in the IS5 group, and fights were highest in groups of five. Differences among groups in tumor growth rate and behavior were discussed in terms of arousal, social dominance, and stability of social status.

description: We propose a novel general approximation to transform and simplify the description of a complex fully-quantized system describing the interacting light and matter. The method has some similarities to the time-dependent Born-Oppenheimer approach: we consider a quantum description of light rather than of nuclei and follow a similar separation procedure. Our approximation allows to obtaing a decoupled system for the light-excited matter and "dressed" light connected parametrically. With these equations at hand, we study how intense light as a quantum state is affected due to the back-action of the interacting matter. We discuss and demonstrate the possibility of the light-mode entanglement and nonclassical light generation during the interaction.

An Investigation into the Effects of Luminosity on the Mid-Infrared Spectral Energy Distributions of Radio-Quiet Quasars

description: We present an analysis of the effects of luminosity on the shape of the mid-infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of 234 radio-quiet quasars originally presented by Richards et al. In quasars without evident dust extinction, the spectrally integrated optical and infrared luminosities are linearly correlated over nearly three decades in luminosity. We find a significant (>99.99% confidence) correlation between the 1.8-8.0 micron spectral index and infrared luminosity that indicates an enhancement of the mid-infrared continuum with increasing luminosity. Coupled with strong evidence for spectral curvature in more luminous quasars, we conclude this trend is likely a manifestation of the `near-infrared (3-5 micron) bump' noticed in earlier quasar SED surveys. The strength of this feature is indicative of the contribution of emission from the hottest (>1000 K) dust to the mid-infrared spectrum; higher luminosity quasars tend to show more hot dust emission. Finally, the comparable distribution of bolometric corrections from the monochromatic 3 micron luminosity as well as its lack of sensitivity to dust extinction as compared to the standard bolometric correction from nu*L_{5100A} suggest that the former may be a more robust indicator of bolometric quasar luminosity. The close link between the power in the mid-infrared and optical and the effect of luminosity on the shape of the mid-infrared continuum indicate that considering mid-infrared emission independent of the properties of the quasar itself is inadequate for understanding the parsec-scale quasar environment.

description: We compare the ground-state features of alternating ferrimagnetic chains $(1/2, S)$ with $S=1,3/2,2,5/2$ in a magnetic field and the corresponding Holstein-Primakoff bosonic models up to order $\sqrt{s/S}$, with $s=1/2$, considering the fully polarized magnetization as the boson vacuum. {The single-particle Hamiltonian is a Rice-Mele model with uniform hopping and modified boundaries, while the interactions have a correlated (density-dependent) hopping term and magnon-magnon repulsion.} The magnon-magnon repulsion increases the many-magnon energy and the density-dependent hopping decreases the kinetic energy. We use density matrix renormalization group calculations to investigate the effects of these two interaction terms in the bosonic model{, and display the quantitative agreement between the results from the spin model and the full bosonic approximation. In particular, we verify the good accordance in the behavior of the edge states, associated with the ferrimagnetic plateau, from the spin and from the bosonic models. Furthermore, we show that the boundary magnon density strongly depends on the interactions and particle statistics.
