description: The study of the anion ordered (TMTSF)\_2ClO\_4\_(1-x)ReO\_4\_x, solid solution in the limit of a low ReO\_4- substitution level (0<=x<=17%) has revealed a new and interesting phase diagram. Superconductivity is drastically suppressed as the effect of ReO\_4- non magnetic point defects increases following the digamma behaviour for usual superconductors in the presence of paramagnetic impurities. Then, no long range order can be stabilized above 0.1K in a narrow window of substitution. Finally, an insulating SDW ground state in ReO\_4- -rich samples is rapidly stabilized with the decrease of the potential strength leading to the doubling of the transverse periodicity. This extensive study has shown that the superconducting order parameter must change its sign over the Fermi surface.

description: Three Georgia feeder cattle teleauction markets were analyzed from 1977 to 1988 to estimate the impacts of cattle characteristics and market conditions on prices. Cattle characteristic price impacts were similar to those in previous studies. The impact of feeder cattle futures price on teleauction price was positive but varied across markets. Optimal lot size ranged from 143 to 276 head. In one market, 14 lots were necessary to generate positive price impacts. Additional buyers were estimated to have a $.30/cwt per buyer impact on price.
Anomalies in $^8$Be nuclear transitions and $(g-2)_{e,μ}$: towards a minimal combined explanation

description: Motivated by a simultaneous explanation of the apparent discrepancies in the light charged lepton anomalous magnetic dipole moments, and the anomalous internal pair creation in $^8$Be nuclear transitions, we explore a simple New Physics model, based on an extension of the Standard Model gauge group by a $U(1)_{B-L}$. The model further includes heavy vector-like fermion fields, as well as an extra scalar responsible for the low-scale breaking of $U(1)_{B-L}$, which gives rise to a light $Z^\prime$ boson. The new fields and currents allow to explain the anomalous internal pair creation in $^8$Be while being consistent with various experimental constraints. Interestingly, we find that the contributions of the $Z^\prime$ and the new $U(1)_{B-L}$-breaking scalar can also successfully account for both $(g-2)_{e,μ}$ anomalies; the strong phenomenological constraints on the model's parameter space ultimately render the combined explanation of $(g-2)_e$ and the anomalous internal pair creation in $^8$Be particularly predictive. The underlying idea of this minimal "prototype model" can be readily incorporated into other protophobic $U(1)$ extensions of the Standard Model.

A tale of two towns : conflations of global and local in the new media spaces of Belltown and Yaletown
Creators: name: Pope, Naomi Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Focusing on the new media districts of Belltown in Seattle, WA and Yaletown in Vancouver, BC, this 'tale of two towns' investigates the presence and patterns of the creative hightech sector in the inner city. The research question asks how employee demographics, intra and inter-firm milieu, socio-cultural aspects of firm location, and economic and socio-cultural global/local linkages in conjunction with planning and public policy implications inform the importance of place and identity in these new media spaces. These two inner city areas have been transformed from old industrial areas on the fringe of the Central Business District to centres of art, creative design, idea innovation and most recently, specialized high-tech services. Through survey work these areas emerge as distinct digital districts, dependent on the local specificities of 'place' and milieu. These areas are changing rapidly, and in different ways. Belltown has experienced partial displacement of the arts community, and Yaletown has witnessed a cultural 're-colonization' of industrial lands. The methodology is based on both quantitative and qualitative information, gathered through primary survey work, a series of interviews, as well as spatial mapping techniques. Lists of all the media firms in each area were compiled, and a random selection of 25 firms were interviewed on topics covering the (1) locational aspects of the firms, (2) firm size, (3) employee demographics, (4) the socio-cultural aspects of their location, (5) attributes of their location, (6) their global and local connectivity, and (7) the goods and service input/outputs for each firm. Planning implications for these areas include increasing levels of social polarization, a need to foster spaces of creativity in the city, increasing generational components, and a growing role for local alliances in light of increasing global pressures. Accelerated rates of change in these two areas are marked by convergence exemplified by: the new technologies used by these firms, the global/ local economic and socio-cultural linkages, and the arrival of new cohorts with a distinct corporate culture that challenges and reinforces the evolving specificities of 'place' in these areas.

description: Much of the solid waste stream in the United States is generated by metropolitan areas, while associated landfills are often located in adjacent rural communities. Landfill disposal of municipal solid waste often creates external costs to nearby residents. Contingent valuation was used to estimate external costs of siting a landfill in the Carter community of Knox County, Tennessee. Estimates of annual external costs were $227 per household. Household income, size, years in the community, and distance from the proposed landfill and the respondent's education, sex, and perception of health risks were important in determining a household's willingness to pay to avoid having a landfill in the Carter community. Also, households whose drinking water supplies were at risk of contamination were willing to pay $141 more than those who used piped city water or bottled water.

description: Superconducting quantum devices provide excellent connectivity and controllability while semiconductor spin qubits stand out with their long-lasting quantum coherence, fast control, and potential for miniaturization and scaling. In the last few years, remarkable progress has been made in combining superconducting circuits and semiconducting devices into hybrid quantum systems that benefit from the physical properties of both constituents. Superconducting cavities can mediate quantum-coherent coupling over long distances between electronic degrees of freedom such as the spin of individual electrons on a semiconductor chip and thus provide essential connectivity for a quantum device. Electron spins in semiconductor quantum dots have reached very long coherence times and allow for fast quantum gate operations with increasing fidelities. We summarize recent progress and theoretical models that describe superconducting-semiconducting hybrid quantum systems, explain the limitations of these systems, and describe different directions where future experiments and theory are headed.

description: Recent developments in the U.S. pecan industry appear to limit the utility of past research. The importance of pecan variety has emerged as an issue which could alter past results. The linear and double-log models previously fitted to all pecans (averaged) data may be too restrictive and hence, are less useful for variety-specific analysis. Past research also analyzed price turning points using nominal data. This study investigated functional form and data-averaging problems by fitting separate flexible Box-Cox price-dependent models for all-pecans and each variety of pecans (1970/71 -1988/89 deflated data). Results indicate: other nuts substitute for different pecan varieties, estimated all-pecans price flexibility is biased and clouds variety-specific flexibilities, and restrictive functional forms are inappropriate.

description: In this announcement, we report results on the existence of families of large-amplitude internal hydrodynamic bores. These are traveling front solutions of the full two-phase incompressible Euler equation in two dimensions. The fluids are bounded above and below by flat horizontal walls and acted upon by gravity. We obtain continuous curves of solutions to this system that bifurcate from the trivial solution where the interface is flat. Following these families to the their extreme, the internal interface either overturns, comes into contact with the upper wall, or develops a highly degenerate "double stagnation" point. Our construction is made possible by a new abstract machinery for global continuation of monotone front-type solutions to elliptic equations posed on infinite cylinders. This theory is quite robust and, in particular, can treat fully nonlinear equations as well as quasilinear problems with transmission boundary conditions.

description: (abridged) We introduce and discuss the properties of a theoretical (B-K)-(J-K) integrated colour diagram for single-age, single-metallicity stellar populations. This combination of integrated colours is able to largely disentangle the well known age-metallicity degeneracy when the age of the population is greater than ~300 Myr. We discuss in detail the effect on this colour-colour diagram of alpha-enhanced metal abundance ratios, the presence of blue horizontal branch stars unaccounted for in the theoretical calibration, and of statistical colour fluctuations in low mass stellar systems. In the case of populations with multiple stellar generations, the luminosity-weighted mean age obtained from this diagram is shown to be heavily biased towards the youngest stellar components. We apply this method to several datasets for which optical and near-IR photometry are available in the literature. For the two Local Group dwarf galaxies NGC185 and NGC6822, the mean ages derived from the integrated colours are consistent with the star formation histories inferred independently from photometric observations of their resolved stellar populations. A sample of bright field and Virgo cluster elliptical galaxies is found to exhibit a range of luminosity-weighted mean ages from 3 to 14 Gyr, with a mean of 8 Gyr, independent of environment, and mean metallicities at or just above the solar value. Colour gradients are found in all of the galaxies studied, in the sense that central regions are redder. Aperture data for five Virgo early-type dwarf galaxies show that these galaxies appear to be shifted to lower mean metallicities and lower mean ages (range 1 to 6 Gyr) than their higher luminosity counterparts.

Broken mu-tau Symmetry and Leptonic CP Violation

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We propose that leptonic CP violation arises from a breaking of the mu-tau exchange symmetry in the neutrino mass matrix which in turn is indicated by the near maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing and the near zero θ_{13}. We find that for the case of a normal hierarchy, present data already restricts the way CP violation may appear in the neutrino mass matrix and there is an interesting correlation between the mixing angle θ_{13}, the solar mixing angle θ_{12} and the Dirac CP phase. In the inverted hierarchy only θ_{13} and the Dirac phase are linked. We also discuss the impact of this kind of CP violation on the deviation of the atmospheric mixing from its maximal value. Moreover, if corrections to mu-tau symmetry arise from the charged lepton sector, where mu-tau symmetry is known to be broken anyway, we find interesting connections between the CP-even and -odd terms as well. Our predictions are testable in the proposed long baseline neutrino experiments.

Roles of Zita in Giacomo Puccini's Gianni Schicchi and the Sorceress in Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas
Creators: name: Fynn, Jeanine Rosanne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: My thesis is the performance of two operatic roles: Zita in Giacomo Puccini's Gianni Schicchi, performed on March 7 and 9, 2002, and the Sorceress in Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas, performed on March 8 and 10, 2002. Gianni Schicchi is derived from a section of Dante's Inferno, dealing with the death of Buoso Donati and the greed of his surviving relatives. Zita is cousin to Buoso and aunt to Rinuccio, one of the lovers. She is part of the family ensemble, which is onstage for almost the entire opera - a very unusual occurrence in opera. After Buoso's death, Zita becomes the commandatore of the family, a comic mezzo-soprano character role that remains bitter and greedy until she and the family are chased offstage. Dido and Aeneas is based on Virgil's The Aeneid, and deals with Dido, the queen of Carthage, in her relationship with, and loss of, Aeneas. The Sorceress, an evil mezzosoprano role, who carries herself as if she were queen, plots disaster for both Dido and her lover, and oversees the queen's subsequent death. I am entering both roles combined as my thesis because they were performed in the same run of a double bill with the UBC Opera Ensemble. The two roles differ in character and musical style, creating a nice juxtaposition for my thesis.

description: This study estimates the cost effectiveness of alternative environmental policies for controlling nitrate contamination of groundwater in the Seymour aquifer region of Texas. Results from biophysical simulation model are integrated with a farm-level optimization model. The study also compares the cost of bottled water, used as the lower-bound estimate of benefits of groundwater protection, with the least costly environmental policy. Results indicate that the least-cost policy alternative for the region is about $1 million either to farmers or to the local government and it is approximately three times the cost of bottled water.

description: A stochastic cellular automaton exhibiting parity conserving class transition has been investigated in the presence of quenched spatial disorder by large scale simulations. Numerical evidence has been found that weak disorder causes irrelevant perturbation for the universal behavior of the transition and the absorbing phase of this model. This opens up the possibility for experimental observation of the critical behavior of a nonequilibrium phase transition to absorbing state. For very strong disorder the model breaks up to blocks with exponential size distribution and continuously changing critical exponents are observed. For strong disorder the randomly distributed diffusion walls introduce another transition within the inactive phase of the model, in which residual particles survive the extinction. The critical dynamical behavior of this transition has been explored.

Similar to the known Bloch capacitance $C_B(q)$, the Bloch inductance $L_B(q)$ also depends periodically on the quasicharge $q$, and its maximum value achieved at $q=e (\textrm{mod} 2e)$ always exceeds the value of the Josephson inductance of this junction $L_J(ϕ)$ at fixed $ϕ=0$. The effect of the Bloch inductance on the dynamics of a single junction and a one-dimensional array is described.

description: Convolutional neural networks (CNN) for image steganalysis demonstrate better performances with employing concepts from high-level vision tasks. The major employed concept is to use data augmentation to avoid overfitting due to limited data. To augment data without damaging the message embedding, only rotating multiples of 90 degrees or horizontally flipping are used in steganalysis, which generates eight fixed results from one sample. To overcome this limitation, we propose BitMix, a data augmentation method for spatial image steganalysis. BitMix mixes a cover and stego image pair by swapping the random patch and generates an embedding adaptive label with the ratio of the number of pixels modified in the swapped patch to those in the cover-stego pair. We explore optimal hyperparameters, the ratio of applying BitMix in the mini-batch, and the size of the bounding box for swapping patch. The results reveal that using BitMix improves the performance of spatial image steganalysis and better than other data augmentation methods.

description: A model of recreation demand is developed to determine the role of water levels in determining participation at and frequency of trips taken to various federal reservoirs and rivers in the Columbia River Basin. Contingent behavior data are required to break the near-perfect multicollinearities among water levels at some waters. We combine demand data for each survey respondent at different levels of time aggregation (summer months, rest of year, and annual), and our empirical models accommodate the natural heteroskedasticity that results. Our empirical results show it to be quite important to control carefully for survey nonresponse bias.

description: Galactic double neutron star systems have a tight mass distribution around $\sim 1.35 M_{\odot}$, but the mass distribution of all known pulsars is broader. Here we reconstruct the Alsing, et al. (2018) bimodal mass distribution of pulsars observed in binary systems, incorporating data from observations of J0740+6620 which were not available at the time of that work. Because J0740+6620 is an outlier in the mass distribution with non-negligible uncertainty in its mass measurement, its mass receives a large correction from the population, becoming $m_{J0740+6620} = 2.03^{+0.10}_{-0.08} \, M_\odot$ (median and 68\% CI). Stochastic samples from our population model, including population-informed pulsar mass estimates, are available at https://github.com/farr/AlsingNSMassReplication .

description: The effective representation, processing, analysis, and visualization of large-scale structured data, especially those related to complex domains such as networks and graphs, are one of the key questions in modern machine learning. Graph signal processing (GSP), a vibrant branch of signal processing models and algorithms that aims at handling data supported on graphs, opens new paths of research to address this challenge. In this article, we review a few important contributions made by GSP concepts and tools, such as graph filters and transforms, to the development of novel machine learning algorithms. In particular, our discussion focuses on the following three aspects: exploiting data structure and relational priors, improving data and computational efficiency, and enhancing model interpretability. Furthermore, we provide new perspectives on future development of GSP techniques that may serve as a bridge between applied mathematics and signal processing on one side, and machine learning and network science on the other. Cross-fertilization across these different disciplines may help unlock the numerous challenges of complex data analysis in the modern age.

description: The U.S. government awarded export subsidies to agribusiness firms through the Export Enhancement Program (EEP). This study analyzes (a) whether the subsidies promoted new firm market entry and (b) whether firm characteristics influenced program participation. Trade in three commodities, poultry, wheat, and wheat flour, was analyzed using firm level data. It was found that new firm market entry was not significantly higher among subsidy recipients and that past program participation strongly influenced current program participation. Although the EEP is believed to have been administered fairly, perceived or real barriers prevented some firms from using it.

The temperature gradient introduced by this environment is then treated as an external perturbation. We propose a method to calculate the heat current and the local temperature profile of the resulting stationary state as well as the heat conductivity in such systems. This method is similar to Kubo techniques used e.g. for electrical transport but extended here to the Liouville space.

description: Lattice measurements provide adequate information to fix the parameters of long distance effective field theories in Euclidean time. Using such a theory, we examine the analytic continuation of long distance correlation functions of composite operators at finite temperature from Euclidean to Minkowski space time. We show through an explicit computation that the analytic continuation of the pion correlation function is possible and gives rise to non-trivial effects. Among them is the possibility, supported by lattice computations of Euclidean correlators, that long distance excitations can be understood in terms of (very massive) pions even at temperatures higher than the QCD cross over temperature.

description: We analysed the fine structure of the phase space distribution function of nearby subdwarfs using data extracted from various catalogues. Applying a new search strategy based on Dekker's theory of galactic orbits, we found four overdensely populated regions in phase space. Three of them were correlated with previously known star streams: the Hyades-Pleiades and Hercules streams in the thin disk of the Milky Way and the Arcturus stream in the thick disk. In addition we find evidence for another stream in the thick disk, which resembles closely the Arcturus stream and probably has the same extragalactic origin.

description: U.S. fluid milk consumption has changed dramatically since the early 1970s. Whole milk accounted for over 81% of commercial fluid milk disappearance in 1970. By 1993, this percentage was less than 39%. A three-equation fluid milk demand system is estimated for fluid milks that vary by fat content. The household panel data set used includes over 4,300 households that recorded fluid milk purchased for at-home consumption over a 12-month period. Given that many of these households did not consume one or more of the three milk types, the econometric model explicitly incorporates the censored nature of these commodity demands. Own- and cross-price and substitution estimated along with effects of household demographic characteristics.
The non dissipative damping of the Rabi oscillations as a "which-path" information

description: Rabi oscillations may be viewed as an interference phenomenon due to a coherent superposition of different quantum paths, like in the Young's two-slit experiment. The inclusion of the atomic external variables causes a non dissipative damping of the Rabi oscillations. More generally, the atomic translational dynamics induces damping in the correlation functions which describe non classical behaviors of the field and internal atomic variables, leading to the separability of these two subsystems. We discuss on the possibility of interpreting this intrinsic decoherence as a "which-way" information effect and we apply to this case a quantitative analysis of the complementarity relation as introduced by Englert [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{77}, 2154 (1996)].

description: Cancer is one of the leading causes of deaths and health debts worldwide. Novel plant extracts with anticancer properties can alleviate this disease burden. The aim of this study was to screen for new therapeutic agents with anticancer properties against a panel of four cancer cell lines. Cytotoxicity screening of aqueous and methanolic extracts from bark, fruits and leaves of Bersama engleriana was carried out on A546 cell line and the best fractions from the methanolic extract of fruits (BEfr: methanolic extracts of fruits) were performed on four cancer cell lines. Methanolic extracts from the root of Bersama engleriana gave the highest yield (21.55%). Phytochemical analysis showed that the tested methanolic extracts contained polyphenols. The F3, a fraction from the methanolic extract of fruits exhibited potent antiproliferative activities with IC50 values of 60 ± 0.91, 53.73 ± 0.79, 50.91 ± 0.46 µg/ml on U-87MG, MG-63 and MIAPaCa-2 cells, respectively. The F3 fraction also caused death to 50% (CC50) of normal HFF cells, i.e. at 527.4 ± 0.81 µg/ml. Selectivity indexes (SI = CC50/IC50) of 10.52, 8.79, 9.81 and 10.25 were obtained for A549, U-87MG, MG-63 and MIAPaCa-2 cells, respectively. These results confirmed the anticancer potential of Bersama engleriana.
Roles of Betto in Giacomo Puccini's Gianni Schicchi and Aeneas in Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas
Creators: name: Catana, Elio Patrick
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This thesis submission includes two very different roles for consideration as my thesis role. They include the role of Betto from Giacomo Puccini's "Gianni Schicchi" an opera based on a portion of Dante's Inferno and Aeneas from Henry Purcell's "Dido and Aeneas" derived from Virgil's The Aeneid. The performances for these one-act operas took place live at The Chan Centre for the Performing Arts between the dates of March 7- 10, 2002. The role of Betto may be considered as the comic role portion of my thesis. In the setting of the opera, he is the poorest of the relations to Buoso Donati who from the top of the show has just died. Betto has arrived to his house for the reading of the will in the hopes of having been left something of value only to find out that he has been left nothing at all. In an attempt to recreate the will in front of a notary, Betto teams up with the other relatives and Gianni Schicchi in their plot for revenge. During the entire performance, Betto leaves nothing to chance and quickly begins to take for himself anything that will fit in his pockets. In the end, when Gianni Schicchi outwits all the relatives, Betto and his relations make off with whatever they can carry as they are thrown out of Buoso's house, which has now become the property of Gianni Schicchi. In contrast, the role of Aeneas is that of the god-like hero who in his devotion to the Empire and the trickery of the evil Sorceress abandons his lover who kills herself in the name of love. Dido, the Queen of Carthage and Aeneas , a warrior are in love and have only just been reunited after Aeneas' return from battle when the evil Sorceress , played by Jeanine Fynn, devises a plan to destroy their relationship, the empire and the Queen's heart. This tragic one-act opera serves as the perfect juxtaposition to Betto and makes up the second component to my combined thesis submission.
ECONOMIC HYSTERESIS AND THE EFFECTS OF OUTPUT REGULATION

description: Economic hysteresis, the continuation of a phenomenon after its initial cause has disappeared, represents an alternative theoretical explanation for the fixed-asset problem. When a set of fixed assets includes quota licenses, hysteresis in license investment leads to distortions that have not been measured in the policy analysis literature. A model of economic "friction" tests the effect of hysteresis in Alberta dairy investment. Estimates of investment functions show that desired investment (disinvestment) must be significantly greater (less) than zero before any action is taken. Because cattle and quota are often purchased together, the relatively long periods of no change in quota holdings that result from hysteresis cause similar periods in which herds neither grow nor contract.

description: The evolution of Cooperative Extension Service techniques used to teach decision making in a risk environment is examined. Interviews of selected Cooperative Extension economists indicate that research methods used to evaluate and describe risk are more complex than those used in extension programs. Research is an essential component of the development and implementation of extension programs. Because most producers have some understanding of risk, and many use financial strategies to manage risk, and important product of risk research has been educating extension economists and researchers. When developing risk management programs, it is stressed that "simplicity is powerful."
Dynamical structure factors of a two-dimensional Fermi superfluid within random phase approximation

description: Based on random phase approximation (RPA), we numerically calculate dynamical structure factors of a balanced two-dimensional (2D) Fermi superfluid, and discuss their energy, momentum and interaction strength dependence in the 2D BEC-BCS crossover. At a small transferred momentum, a stable Higgs mode is observed in the unitary 2D Fermi superfluid gas where the particle-hole symmetry is not satisfied. Stronger interaction strength will make the visibility of the dispersion of Higgs mode harder to be observed. We also discuss the dimension effect and find that the signal of the Higgs mode in two dimension is more obvious than that in 3D case. At a large transferred momentum regime, stronger interaction strength will induce the weight of the molecules excitation increasing, while in verse the atomic one decreasing, which shows the pairing information of Fermi superfluid. The theoretical results qualitatively agree with the corresponding Quantum Monte Carlo data.

description: This article extends the literature on economic valuation of public interventions that reduce environmental risk. We consider the case where risk-reducing interventions have different characteristics than the risk proxies used in hedonic regressions. We then demonstrate the importance of these considerations by reexamining an existing analysis of shoreline protection where we estimate risk using a latent variables model. The results show substantially different and arguably more plausible results.

description: The Southworth hypothesis predicts that inframarginal food stamp recipients should choose the same bundle of goods, whether they receive coupons or cash. Empirical research has contradicted this prediction. Here, we present a model that retains some attractive features of the Southworth hypothesis, while relaxing the key assumption that appears to be incorrect. In particular, we allow different forms of benefits to have distinct effects on desired, or unrestricted food spending. Two categories of previously commonly used empirical models are evaluated as special cases of our more general model. We estimate this model using data from two cash-out experiments.
