British cookbooks and the transformation of taste 1660-1760
Creators: name: MacWilliam, Erin Louise Frances
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: In this dissertation, I investigate the ways in which cookbooks published in Britain between 1660 and 1760 helped to shape conceptions of physical and aesthetic taste. I propose that in the early and mid-eighteenth century aesthetics and cookery were neither parallel phenomena nor completely distinct from each other, but public discourses that intersected and changed over time. These intersections helped to define many of the modern notions of subjectivity, professionalism, and disciplinarity with which we are familiar today. The central works I consider are the cookbooks of Hannah Woolley, Mary Kettilby, Hannah Glasse, Ann Cook, and Martha Bradley. Examined within the background of an expanding print culture, these texts show that cookery was a multifaceted and critical form of writing. Following Jürgen Habermas' theory of the conceptual zones of the eighteenth-century, I argue that cookbooks were crucially and self-consciously aware of the porous nature of the intimate, private, and public spheres in which they circulated and that this awareness determined the way cookbooks constructed and critiqued ideas of taste. Female cookery authors were engaged with similar concerns around tasting, judgment, and subjectivity as philosophers like Locke, Shaftesbury, Hume, and Kames. I begin with the origins of the printed cookbook, demonstrating how early examples of the genre looked back to an embedded and indistinct domestic realm, while at the same time anticipating the public private division reinforced by print. I then uncover the ways in which female cookery book authors, unlike their male contemporaries, took up empiricist philosophy in order to construct taste as a sensory experience of judging subjects, before examining how this construction of taste was interpreted as transgressing boundaries of gender and privacy. In my final chapter, I show how taste transforms from an embodied, local phenomenon, to one that is public and critically engaged, and ultimately how taste in cookery is disciplined out of the public sphere, becoming linked only with the reproduction of food.

description: We study exact vacuum solutions to quadratic gravity (QG) of the Weyl types N and III. We show that in an arbitrary dimension all Einstein spacetimes of the Weyl type N with an appropriately chosen effective cosmological constant $Λ$ are exact solutions to QG and we refer to explicitly known metrics within this class. For type III Einstein spacetimes, an additional constraint follows from the field equations of QG and examples of spacetimes obeying such constraint are given. However, type III pp-waves do not satisfy this constraint and thus do not solve QG. For type N, we also study a wider class of spacetimes admitting a pure radiation term in the Ricci tensor. In contrast to the Einstein case, the field equations of generic QG determine optical properties of the geometry and restrict such exact solutions to the Kundt class. We provide examples of these metrics.

Biostratigraphy and sedimentology of Triassic hydrocarbon-bearing rocks in northeastern British Columbia
Creators: name: Golding, Martyn Lee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The Triassic Montney and Doig formations in the subsurface of northeastern British Columbia are important hydrocarbon reserves for the province. However the age and tectonic setting of these formations, and their outcrop equivalents (Grayling, Toad and Liard formations), are poorly constrained. The collection of conodont and detrital zircon samples from outcrop sections, and from core taken from subsurface hydrocarbon wells, has allowed the biostratigraphy of these formations to be improved, and the tectonic setting to be inferred. The study of new conodont samples, together with re-examination of existing collections, has led to the recognition of more than thirty new species and morphotypes within the Anisian (Middle Triassic) of British Columbia. These new taxa have in turn allowed the recognition of 11 new faunal assemblages that further refine the conodont biostratigraphic scale for the Anisian of British Columbia. Conodont biostratigraphy of the Montney and Doig formations in the subsurface has allowed correlation of these formations with those of surface sections, and also for the first time provided an age for the boundary between them. The boundary is recognised to be diachronous, and it is oldest in the centre of the study area. The basal Doig Formation is condensed, and shows most condensation at the edges of the study area. Both observations imply the presence of palaeo-highs to the west as well as to the east during the Triassic. This conclusion is supported by detrital zircon geochronology, which demonstrates the presence of sediment derived from the Arctic and from the pericratonic Yukon-Tanana terrane in the Triassic rocks of northeastern British Columbia. Previous hypotheses of Permo-Triassic accretion of this terrane onto the North American margin (the Klondike Orogeny) are supported by this study, and the Triassic sediments of northeastern British Columbia are interpreted to have been deposited in the foreland basin of this orogeny.

description: Gamma-ray burst X-ray flares are believed to mark the late time activity of the central engine. We compute the temporal evolution of the average flare luminosity $< L >$ in the common rest frame energy band of 44 GRBs taken from the large \emph{Swift} 5-years data base. Our work highlights the importance of a proper consideration of the threshold of detection of flares against the contemporaneous continuous X-ray emission. In the time interval $30 \rm{s}\propto t^{-2.7\pm 0.1}$; this implies that the flare isotropic energy scaling is $E_{\rm{iso,flare}}\propto t^{-1.7}$. The decay of the continuum underlying the flare emission closely tracks the average flare luminosity evolution, with a typical flare to steep-decay luminosity ratio which is $L_{\rm{flare}}/L_{\rm{steep}}=4.7$: this suggests that flares and continuum emission are deeply related to one another. We infer on the progenitor properties considering different models. According to the hyper-accreting black hole scenario, the average flare luminosity scaling can be obtained in the case of rapid accretion ($t_{\rm{acc}}\ll t$) or when the last $\sim 0.5 M_{\sun}$ of the original $14 M_{\sun}$ progenitor star are accreted. Alternatively, the steep $\propto t^{-2.7}$ behaviour could be triggered by a rapid outward expansion of an accretion shock in the material feeding a convective disk. If instead we assume the engine to be a rapidly spinning magnetar, then its rotational energy can be extracted to power a jet whose luminosity is likely to be between the monopole ($L\propto e^{-2t}$) and dipole ($L\propto t^{-2}$) cases. In both scenarios we suggest the variability, which is the main signature of the flaring activity, to be established as a consequence of different kinds of instabilities.

A Color Dual Form for Gauge-Theory Amplitudes

Year: 2011

description: Recently a duality between color and kinematics has been proposed, exposing a new unexpected structure in gauge theory and gravity scattering amplitudes. Here we propose that the relation goes deeper, allowing us to reorganize amplitudes into a form reminiscent of the standard color decomposition in terms of traces over generators, but with the role of color and kinematics swapped. By imposing additional conditions similar to Kleiss-Kuijf relations between partial amplitudes, the relationship between the earlier form satisfying the duality and the current one is invertible. We comment on extensions to loop level.

Higher Education aspirations and choice: The case of young Bangladeshi individuals in East London

description: The purpose of this study was to understand the factors influencing the university decision-making process of British Bangladeshi students. Whilst a considerable amount of research exists on factors influencing the university decision-making process of different ethnic groups, there are very few studies that provide details on the university decision-making process of Bangladeshi students, and the studies that have attempted to do this were limited in scope. The major research question guiding this study was: How and why do British Bangladeshi students decide to pursue higher education (HE)? A mixed-methods sequential explanatory design was used in this study, where quantitative data (university questionnaire) informed the qualitative phase (semi-structured interviews). 140 Year 13 Bangladeshi students from schools in London (in Tower Hamlets and Ilford) completed the questionnaire, and 19 students took part in the interviews. The study finds that access to social capital resources enables the social network to influence British Bangladeshi’s HE decision-making process. Students’ HE aspirations were mostly influenced through the norms and expectations that their parents had conveyed; however, they were unable to foster the mechanisms to achieve this goal. Thus, other sources of social capital were needed to support students’ pursuit of HE. Students had to rely on significant individuals to support them through the university application process by being their main sources of information. The study also finds that students are rational decision-makers and that their educational choices are made to maximise economic and social returns, although it was clear that economic returns are more important. Bangladeshi students, based on the availability of information in their social networks and subject to constraints posed by their social background, chose HE to maximise total expected returns.

X-ray radiation of the jets and the supercritical accretion disk in SS 433

description: The observed X-ray luminosity of SS 433 is ~10^36 erg/s, it is known that all the radiation is formed in the famous SS 433 jets. The bolometric luminosity of SS 433 is ~10^40 erg/s, and originally the luminosity must be realized in X-rays. The original radiation is probably thermalized in the supercritical accretion disk wind, however the missing more than four orders of magnitude is surprising. We have analysed the XMM-Newton spectra of SS 433 using a model of adiabatically and radiatively cooling X-ray jets. The multi-temperature thermal jet model reproduces very well the strongest observed emission lines, but it can not reproduce the continuum radiation and some spectral features. We have found a notable contribution of ionized reflection to the spectrum in the energy range from 3 to 12 keV. The reflected spectrum is an evidence of the supercritical disk funnel, where the illuminating radiation comes from deeper funnel regions, to be further reflected in the outer visible funnel walls. The illuminating spectrum is similar to that observed in ULXs, its luminosity has to be no less than ~10^39 erg/s. A soft excess has been detected, that does not depend on the thermal jet model details. It may be represented as a BB with a temperature of ~0.1 keV and luminosity of ~3*10^37 erg/s. The soft spectral component has about the same parameters as those found in ULXs.

Spine on basal segment of exopodite about 2/3 length of middle segment. Spines on apical segments about 1/3 length of apical segments. IDL of limb I with three setae; seta 1 minute, rudimentary; setae 2–3 thin, armed with spinulae.
 Single species,  Celsinotum macronyx (Daday, 1898)  (Fig. 8 I–L). Length of adult female 0.41–0.52 mm. Rare species, found in lakes. Littoral species, associated with vegetation. Indo-Malaysian species, distributed in India, Sri Lanka, Indochina, South China and Indonesia (Sinev & Kotov, 2012). For detailed description see Sinev & Kotov (2012).
 Taxonomic notes. Externally, C. macronyx can be confused with Notoalona pseudomacronyx, which have similar outline of body and similar shape of postandomen, but it can be easily separated by the morphology of postabdominal claw; in N. pseudomacronyx length of basal spine is less than 1/3 length of claw, and in C. macronyx it is close to half-length of claw. Drawings of C. macronyx in Maiphae (2014) belong to N. pseudomacronyx instead.

description: A measurement is presented of the flux ratio of positive and negative muons from cosmic ray interactions in the atmosphere, using data collected by the CMS detector at ground level and in the underground experimental cavern. The excellent performance of the CMS detector allowed detection of muons in the momentum range from 5GeV/c to 1TeV/c. For muon momenta below 100GeV/c the flux ratio is measured to be a constant 1.2766 +/-0.0032(stat.) +/-0.0032(syst.), the most precise measurement to date. At higher momenta an increase in the charge ratio is observed, in agreement with models of muon production in cosmic ray showers and compatible with previous measurements by deep underground experiments.

Η έρευνα βασίστηκε στην χρήση online ομάδων εστίασης (focus groups) όπου έγιναν βασικές ερωτήσεις για την συλλογή των δεδομένων πάνω στα προϊόντα σαμπουάν και κολόνιες. Με τη μέθοδο της ποιοτικής έρευνας από 25 συμμετέχοντες άνδρες και γυναίκες, τα δεδομένα που συλλέχθηκαν υποδηλώνουν ότι όντως υπάρχουν στερεοτυπικά στοιχεία στις συσκευασίες προϊόντων που τα κάνουν να επιλέγονται από άντρες ή γυναίκες αντίστοιχα και επηρεάζουν την απόφαση τους. Όσον αφορά τους ερευνητικούς στόχους, συμπεράναμε πως η απόφαση του καταναλωτή για την αγορά του προϊόντος επηρεάζεται σε μεγάλο βαθμό από τους δύο παράγοντες που μελετήσαμε δηλαδή το χρώμα και το σχήμα του προϊόντος. Αυτό φυσικά δεν είναι ένα συμπέρασμα που αφορά το 100% των καταναλωτών. Η πλειοψηφία των συμμετεχόντων φάνηκε να διέκρινε στερεότυπα στις συσκευασίες που μελετήθηκαν ωστόσο δεν αποτέλεσαν τον μοναδικό παράγοντα για την τελική επιλογή τους. Ακόμη, στο φύλο που απευθύνονται τα προϊόντα προστέθηκαν τα unisex προϊόντα κάτι το οποίο δεν αποτελούσε αρχικό μέρος της έρευνας. Τέλος, όσον αφορά τη συσκευασία του προϊόντος βρέθηκε ότι οι στερεοτυπικές αντιλήψεις μειώνονται όσο εξελίσσεται η κοινωνία και τα νέα παιδιά έχουν ανοιχτούς ορίζοντες για να δεχθούν νέες αλλαγές και να καταρρίψουν τα παλιά δεδομένα.

description: We propose and demonstrate a relaxed-SiGe/strained-Si (SiGe/s-Si) enhancement-mode gate stack for quantum dots. The enhancement-mode SiGe/s-Si structure is pursued because it spaces the quantum dot away from charge and spin defect rich dielectric interfaces and minimizes background dopants. A mobility of 1.6\times10^5 cm^2/Vs at 5.8\times10^{11}/cm^2 is measured in Hall bars that witness the same device process flow as the quantum dot. Periodic Coulomb blockade (CB) is measured in a double-top-gated lateral quantum dot nanostructure. The CB terminates with open diamonds up to \pm 10 mV of DC voltage across the device. The devices were fabricated within a 150 mm Si foundry setting that uses implanted ohmics and chemical-vapor-deposited dielectrics, in contrast to previously demonstrated enhancement-mode SiGe/s-Si structures made with AuSb alloyed ohmics and atomic-layer-deposited dielectric. A modified implant, polysilicon formation and annealing conditions were utilized to minimize the thermal budget so that the buried s-Si layer would not be washed out by Ge/Si interdiffusion.

description: We compute the viscosity spectral function of the dilute Fermi gas for different values of the s-wave scattering length $a$, including the unitarity limit $a\to\infty$. We perform the calculation in kinetic theory by studying the response to a non-trivial background metric. We find the expected structure consisting of a diffusive peak in the transverse shear channel and a sound peak in the longitudinal channel. At zero momentum the width of the diffusive peak is $ω_0\simeq (2ε)/(3η)$ where $ε$ is the energy density and $η$ is the shear viscosity. At finite momentum the spectral function approaches the collisionless limit and the width is of order $ω_0\sim k(T/m)^{1/2}$.

description: We report on the initial analysis of a Herschel/PACS full range spectrum of Neptune, covering the 51-220 micrometer range with a mean resolving power of ~ 3000, and complemented by a dedicated observation of CH4 at 120 micrometers. Numerous spectral features due to HD (R(0) and R(1)), H2O, CH4, and CO are present, but so far no new species have been found. Our results indicate that (i) Neptune's mean thermal profile is warmer by ~ 3 K than inferred from the Voyager radio-occultation; (ii) the D/H mixing ratio is (4.5+/-1) X 10**-5, confirming the enrichment of Neptune in deuterium over the protosolar value (~ 2.1 X 10**-5); (iii) the CH4 mixing ratio in the mid stratosphere is (1.5+/-0.2) X 10**-3, and CH4 appears to decrease in the lower stratosphere at a rate consistent with local saturation, in agreement with the scenario of CH4 stratospheric injection from Neptune's warm south polar region; (iv) the H2O stratospheric column is (2.1+/-0.5) X 10**14 cm-2 but its vertical distribution is still to be determined, so the H2O external flux remains uncertain by over an order of magnitude; and (v) the CO stratospheric abundance is about twice the tropospheric value, confirming the dual origin of CO suspected from ground-based millimeter/submillimeter observations.

description: We prove a result which adds to the study of continuous analogues of Szemerédi-type problems. Let E ⊆ ℝⁿ be a Lebesgue-null set of Hausdorff dimension α, k, m be integers satisfying a suitable relationship, and {B₁,…, Bk} be n × (m − n) matrices. We prove that if the set of matrices Bi are non-degenerate in a particular sense, α is sufficiently close to n, and if E supports a probability measure satisfying certain dimensionality and Fourier decay conditions, then E contains a k-point configuration of the form {x + B₁y,…,x + Bky}. In particular, geometric configurations such as collinear triples, triangles, and parallelograms are contained in sets satisfying the above conditions.

description: The AdS/hydrodynamics correspondence provides a 1-1 map between large wavelength features of AdS black branes and conformal fluid flows. In this note we consider boundaries between nonrelativistic flows, applying the usual boundary conditions for viscous fluids. We find that a naive application of the correspondence to these boundaries yields a surface layer in the gravity theory whose stress tensor is not equal to that given by the Israel matching conditions. In particular, while neither stress tensor satisfies the null energy condition and both have nonvanishing momentum, only Israel's tensor has stress. The disagreement arises entirely from corrections to the metric due to multiple derivatives of the flow velocity, which violate Israel's finiteness assumption in the thin wall limit.

description: We present deep 1.2 mm continuum mapping of a 566 arcmin^2 area within the Lockman Hole North field, previously a target of the Spitzer Wide-area Infrared Extragalactic (SWIRE) survey and extremely deep 20 cm mapping with the Very Large Array, which we have obtained using the Max-Planck millimeter bolometer (MAMBO) array on the IRAM 30 m telescope. After filtering, our full map has an RMS sensitivity ranging from 0.45 to 1.5 mJy/beam, with an average of 0.75 mJy/beam. Using the pixel flux distribution in a map made from our best data, we determine the shape, normalization, and approximate flux density cutoff for 1.2 mm number counts well below our nominal sensitivity and confusion limits. After validating our full dataset through comparison with this map, we successfully detect 41 1.2 mm sources with S/N > 4.0 and S(1.2 mm)\simeq 2-5 mJy. We use the most significant of these detections to directly determine the integral number counts down to 1.8 mJy, which are consistent with the results of the pixel flux distribution analysis. 93% of our 41 individual detections have 20 cm counterparts, 49% have Spitzer/MIPS 24 micron counterparts, and one may have a significant Chandra X-ray counterpart. We resolve \simeq 3% of the cosmic infrared background (CIB) at 1.2 mm into significant detections, and directly estimate a 0.05 mJy faint-end cutoff for the counts that is consistent with the full intensity of the 1.2 mm CIB. The median redshift of our 17 detections with spectroscopic or robust photometric redshifts is z(median)=2.3, and rises to z(median)=2.9 when we include redshifts estimated from the radio/far-infrared spectral index. By using a nearest neighbor and angular correlation function analysis, we find evidence that our S/N>4.0 detections are clustered at the 95% confidence level.

description: Bacteriophages, phages for short, are viruses of bacteria. The majority of phages contain a double-stranded DNA genome packaged in a capsid at a density of ~500 mg/ml. This high density requires substantial compression of the normal B form helix, leading to the conjecture that DNA in mature phage virions is under significant pressure, and that pressure is used to eject the DNA during infection. A large number of theoretical, computer simulation and in vitro experimental studies surrounding this conjecture has revealed many --- though often isolated and/or contradictory --- aspects of packaged DNA. This prompts us to present a unified view of the statistical physics and thermodynamics of DNA packaged in phage capsids. We argue that the DNA in a mature phage is in a (meta)stable state, wherein electrostatic self-repulsion is balanced by curvature stress due to confinement in the capsid. We show that in addition to the osmotic pressure associated with the packaged DNA and its counterions, there are four different pressures within the capsid: pressure on the DNA, hydrostatic pressure, the pressure experienced by the capsid, and the pressure associated with the chemical potential of DNA ejection. Significantly, we analyze the mechanism of force transmission in the packaged DNA, and demonstrate that the pressure on DNA is not important for ejection. We derive equations showing a strong hydrostatic pressure difference across the capsid shell. We propose that when a phage is triggered to eject by interaction with its receptor in vitro, the (thermodynamic) incentive of water molecules to enter the phage capsid flushes the DNA out of the capsid. In vivo, the difference between the osmotic pressures in the bacterial cell cytoplasm and the culture medium similarly results in a water flow that drags the DNA out of the capsid and into the bacterial cell.

Forward jet-like event spin-dependent properties in polarized p+p collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=200 GeV

description: The STAR collaboration has reported precision measurements on the transverse single spin asymmetries for the production of forward $π^0$ mesons from polarized proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =\,$200 GeV. To disentangle the contributions to forward asymmetries, one has to look beyond inclusive $π^0$ production to the production of forward jets or direct photons. Present forward detector capabilities are not well matched to the complete reconstruction of forward jets, but do have sufficient acceptance for "jet-like" events. "Jet-like" events are the clustered response of an electromagnetic calorimeter that is primarily sensitive to incident photons, electrons and positrons. During the RHIC running in the year 2006, STAR with the Forward Pion Detector (FPD++) in place collected 6.8 pb$^{-1}$ of data with an average polarization of 60%. FPD++ was a modular detector prototype of the Forward Meson Spectrometer (FMS) that consisted of two detectors placed symmetrically with respect to the beam line at a distance of 7.4 m from the interaction point. Readout of the FPD++ was triggered when the sum of energies in the central module of the calorimeter used for $π^0$ measurements was larger than a threshold. This trigger minimizes the bias for "jet-like" events, making it appropriate to disentangling contributions to the forward transverse spin asymmetries. We report on the status of the analysis.

Can the Supersymmetric Flavour Problem decouple in case of a Non Standard Supersymmetric Spectrum?
Creators: name: Lodone, Paolo

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It has been shown that, in the context of the MSSM, the Supersymmetric Flavour Problem cannot be solved by just letting the sfermions of the first two generations be relatively heavy. The reason is twofold: naturalness of the Fermi scale on one side, need for positive squared stop masses on the other. The situation is much more promising in models without a light Higgs boson, in which the goal can be met. The prices are: a relatively low messenger scale, semiperturbativity before the GUT scale, and some amount of degeneracy/alignement of order of the Cabibbo angle in the sfermion sector. A crucial role is played by the increased quartic coupling. The resulting phenomenology is quite different from the MSSM one in many respects.

If you wrong us, shall we not revenge? daring entertainment to challenge ideologies of the Arab-Israeli conflict
Creators: name: Chalmers, Dana Lori
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Can entertainment challenge the ideologies that contribute to violent conflict, mass atrocities and genocide? This study explores audience responses to entertainment created for this purpose. Theoretical approaches including those of narrative persuasion, theatre for development, applied theatre, and genocide studies suggest that such a production – if sufficiently transportive – would encourage audiences to reconsider their views. This study developed a theoretical approach to creating Ideologically Challenging Entertainment (ICE). (‘Entertainment’ defined as narratives that audiences consider engaging, interesting, and ‘transportive’ as described in narrative persuasion literature). It focused on mainstream theatrical approaches while presenting multiple perspectives, using an adaptation of The Merchant of Venice, (Two Merchants) aimed at confronting some of the ideological underpinnings of the Arab-Israeli Conflict, including antisemitism and Islamophobia. Each performance included two versions of the adaptation: a Jewish dominated society with an Arab Muslim minority, contrasted with an Arab Muslim dominated society and a Jewish minority. A mixed-methods study of audience responses explored whether this production inspired audiences to shift their ideological views to become more tolerant of differences, and more aware of the ideological persecution that contributes to violent conflict. The results support the hypothesis that entertainment can challenge ideologies and inspire the moral imagination. Of audience members who did not initially agree with the premise of the production, 40% reconsidered their ideological views, indicating increased tolerance, greater awareness of their prejudices and recognition of the persecution faced by others. In addition, 86% of the audience expressed their intention to discuss the production with others, thereby encouraging critical engagement with, and broader dissemination of the material. Perceptions of the production as ‘high quality’ and ‘entertaining’ were the primary factor associated with changing ideological views. Furthermore, qualitative responses offered insight into aspects of inter-ethnic and inter-religious relations in Canada. The research also contributed to the refinement of audience response research methods in mixed-methods studies. These outcomes suggest that high quality entertainment – as defined by audience responses to it - can become a powerful tool in the struggle against the ideologies of hate and fear that contribute to prejudice, discrimination, violent conflict, atrocities and genocide.

description: The present research scholars are having keen interest in doing their research activities in the area of Data mining all over the world. Especially, [13]Mining Image data is the one of the essential features in this present scenario since image data plays vital role in every aspect of the system such as business for marketing, hospital for surgery, engineering for construction, Web for publication and so on. The other area in the Image mining system is the Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) which performs retrieval based on the similarity defined in terms of extracted features with more objectiveness. The drawback in CBIR is the features of the query image alone are considered. Hence, a new technique called Image retrieval based on optimum clusters is proposed for improving user interaction with image retrieval systems by fully exploiting the similarity information. The index is created by describing the images according to their color characteristics, with compact feature vectors, that represent typical color distributions [12].
