A house but not a home : the determinants of secessionist party emergence and support in North America and Western Europe
Creators: name: Rivard, Alexandre
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: While there exists a considerable amount of extant theoretical work that studies the phenomenon of substate nationalism and independence-seeking movements, empirical work on the topic remains relatively nascent. Moreover, we know little about what make secessionist parties successful and even less about what causes these parties to emerge. This dissertation focuses on both the emergence and success of secessionist movements in Western democracies. Concerning emergence, I deploy a unique application of time-to-event modelling in order to determine what increases the likelihood of a secessionist party emerging in both subnational and national elections. To model success, I rely on time-series cross-sectional regression analyses of secessionist party vote shares from 1945 to the present day. I argue that what influences both the emergence and subsequent support of secessionist parties differs based on the electoral arena in which the parties compete—that is, the effects of emergence/success vary based on the arena in which the party is entering/competing. I find that secessionist parties have become increasingly successful in the contemporary era, that these parties viably compete for—and form—government, and that their success means that these parties are no longer small, peripheral parties that can be ignored. I complement the quantitative analysis with a series of case studies that allows me to further explore how the identified mechanisms have influenced the emergence and success in Catalonia, Québec, and Scotland. In sum, the case studies show how and why secessionist parties are encouraged by the electoral system subnationally but not nationally, that the effects of immigration are idiosyncratic to the specific case, and that the central government’s response to subnational demands for autonomy greatly influence the emergence and success of secessionist parties.
rawDiag | Accessing orbitrap data on the fast lane using R

Subjects: mass spectrometry, R package

description: Despite the widespread usage of R for other omics data analysis, it has

been largely ignored by the proteomics community. We believe the mayor

reason is the lack of a direct and performant interface between R and

mass spectrometry raw data formats. So far this gap has been poorly

bridged by the HUPO-PSI standards (mzML, mzXML) that can be read into R

using packages like mzR. The problem to this approach is that raw files

in vendor specific binary formats first need to be converted to these

open formats and later on parsed into R objects. Both steps consume

substantial computational resources and obstruct the development of lean

data analysis workflows in R. We therefore suggest to bypass these

costly conversions and instead use vendor-released APIs to directly

access raw data from the R command line. Our previously published R

package rawDiag [10.1021/acs.jproteome.8b00173] demonstrates the power of this approach by

means of scan

metadata contained in Thermo Fisher Scientific raw files. Currently, we

are extending our philosophy to mass spectra, the core data unit in

LC-MS driven proteomics. Our initial results show that complex

analytical workflows dealing with the analysis of spectral data can be

written directly in R and executed on standard computational

infrastructures in an OS independent fashion.

description: We study multistrange hadrons produced in NA49 and STAR experiments at center of mass energies varying from \sqrt{s_{NN}} = 7.61 GeV to 200 GeV. We show that the yields of Ξ, Ξ-bar and ϕ can help to constrain the physical conditions present in the hot dense fireball source of these multistrange hadrons created in heavy ion collision. We address the question of chemical equilibrium of individual quark flavors before and after hadronization and offer a few predictions for LHC.

Two-step flux penetration in layered antiferromagnetic superconductor
Creators: name: Krzyszton, T.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A layered antiferromagnetic superconductor in the mixed state may posses magnetic domains created along the Josephson vortices. This may happen when an external magnetic field is strong enough to flip over magnetic moments, lying in the phase core of the Josephson vortex, from their ground state configuration. The formation of the domain structure of the vortices modifies the surface energy barrier of the superconductor. During this process the entrance of the flux is stopped and a newly created state exhibits perfect shielding. Such behavior should be visible as a plateau on the dependence of flux density as a function of the external magnetic field. The end of the plateau determines the critical field, which we call the second critical field for flux penetration.

Microscopic model for the higher-order nonlinearity in optical filaments

description: Using an exactly soluble one-dimensional atomic model we explore the idea that the recently observed high-order nonlinearity in optical filaments is due to virtual transitions involving the continuum states. We show that the model's behavior is qualitatively comparable with the experimentally observed cross-over from self-focusing to de-focusing at high intensities, and only occurs at intensities which result in significant ionization. Based on these observations, we conjecture that this continuum electron nonlinear refraction exhibits strong memory effects, and most importantly, the change of its sign is effectively masked by the de-focusing due to free electrons.

The five-flavour scheme is used to derive this contribution to the Higgs+jet production cross section which becomes numerically important in the MSSM for large values of tan(beta). We present numerical results for a proton collider with 14 TeV center-of-mass energy. The NLO matrix elements for d(sigma)/d(pT) are then combined with the total inclusive cross section in order to derive the integrated cross section with a maximum cut on pT at next-to-next-to-leading order.

Measuring attentional bias in smokers during and after psychosocial stress induction with a Trier Social Stress Test in virtual reality via eye tracking

Subjects: subject: smoking, addiction, attention bias, stress, Trier Social Stress Test, eye tracking, virtual reality
subject: 150 Psychologie

description: Introduction: Attentional bias (AB) is considered an important factor not only in the etiology of addiction, but also with respect to relapse. However, evidence for the predictive ability of AB for relapse is not robust. One reason for this might be fluctuations of AB due to stress. Therefore, the current study investigated whether AB was present during and after stress induction and whether AB was enhanced by stress induction. Methods: A Virtual Reality (VR) adaptation of the Trier Social Stress Test (VR-TSST) was used to induce psychosocial stress in smokers (n = 34) and non-smokers (n = 37) followed by a novel free-viewing task in VR. Eye tracking data was recorded to examine gaze behavior to smoking-related and neutral stimuli presented in the VR-TSST and the free-viewing task. Results: Stress ratings increased significantly from baseline to post VR-TSST in smokers and non-smokers. During the VR-TSST we observed, more frequent, longer, and earlier fixations on smoke-related compared with neutral stimuli without significant group differences. However, in the free-viewing task following the stress induction, a specific AB of smokers in terms of earlier and longer fixations on smoke stimuli was found. Conclusion: Results indicate that AB is not a persistent trait in smokers, but is context dependent. It is suggested that emotional learning processes such as smoking in the context of relief after stress may contribute to changes of AB both in terms of increased initial attention and deeper stimulus processing. Additionally, the potential of the VR-TSST to induce psychosocial stress could be replicated.

description: The confinement mechanism proposed earlier and then applied successfully to meson spectroscopy by one of the authors is interpreted in classical terms. For this aim the unique solution of the Maxwell equations, an analog of the corresponding unique solution of the SU(3)-Yang-Mills equations describing linear confinement in quantum chromodynamics, is used. Motion of a charged particle is studied in the field representing magnetic part of the mentioned solution and it is shown that one deals with the full classical confinement of the charged particle in such a field: under any initial conditions the particle motion is accomplished within a finite region of space so that the particle trajectory is near magnetic field lines while the latter are compact manifolds (circles). An asymptotical expansion for the trajectory form in the strong field limit is adduced. The possible application of the obtained results in thermonuclear plasma physics is also shortly outlined.

Towards understanding and improving the crypto-asset user experience
Creators: name: Voskobojnikov, Artemij
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: The crypto-asset domain has grown substantially over the past years, both in terms of overall market capitalization, available crypto-assets, and the number of users. While the underlying protocols are well-studied, little attention has been paid to the user behaviors. This dissertation presents the results of mixed-methods research that investigated the motivations, behaviors, and user experience challenges of both users and non-users of crypto-assets. We found that crypto-asset usage is nuanced and is influenced by factors, such as the asset at hand, the amount invested, and the level of expertise of the respective user. This heterogeneity in behaviors was also confirmed through a cluster analysis. Through this analysis, we identified three distinct types of crypto-asset users, which we labeled as cypherpunks, hodlers, and rookies. While both cypherpunks and hodlers had high perceived self-efficacy (i.e., the ability to use crypto-assets and tools), they differed in their risk perceptions, with hodlers believing to be more vulnerable to potential risks, such as software wallet vulnerabilities. The rookies started to use crypto-assets recently and, unsurprisingly, had a lower self-efficacy when compared to the other two. They also owned fewer crypto-assets and used custodial wallets more often. We also identified factors influencing the adoption intention and behavior and found self-efficacy to be a major deterrent. Besides the perceived high complexity of crypto-assets and, in turn, the perceived inability to use them, non-users also cited the high risks and lack of regulatory support as a reason for non-involvement. Lastly, we investigated user experience complaints about the top five mobile crypto-wallets, i.e., mobile apps that allow users to manage their cryptographic keys for crypto-assets. We discovered that these wallets have severe usability issues. While some of these issues (e.g., crashes and freezes) are commonly encountered in mobile apps in general, others are domain-specific, such as inadequate fee and key import settings. We found that such issues led to dangerous errors and offer design recommendations in order to reduce such risks. Our findings further the understanding of the crypto-asset users and non-users and can improve the user experience by informing the design of more effective and user-friendly key management.

description: Convex support, the mean values of a set of random variables, is central in information theory and statistics. Equally central in quantum information theory are mean values of a set of observables in a finite-dimensional C*-algebra A, which we call (quantum) convex support. The convex support can be viewed as a projection of the state space of A and it is a projection of a spectrahedron. Spectrahedra are increasingly investigated at least since the 1990's boom in semidefinite programming. We recall the geometry of the positive semi-definite cone and of the state space. We write a convex duality for general self-dual convex cones. This restricts to projections of state spaces and connects them to results on spectrahedra. Really new in this article is an analysis of the face lattice of convex support by mapping this lattice to a lattice of orthogonal projections, using natural isomorphisms. The result encodes the face lattice of the convex support into a set of projections in A and enables the integration of convex geometry with matrix calculus or algebraic techniques.

Accurate estimate of the relic density and the kinetic decoupling in non-thermal dark matter models

description: Non-thermal dark matter generation is an appealing alternative to the standard paradigm of thermal WIMP dark matter. We reconsider non-thermal production mechanisms in a systematic way, and develop a numerical code for accurate computations of the dark matter relic density. We discuss in particular scenarios with long-lived massive states decaying into dark matter particles, appearing naturally in several beyond the standard model theories, such as supergravity and superstring frameworks. Since non-thermal production favors dark matter candidates with large pair annihilation rates, we analyze the possible connection with the anomalies detected in the lepton cosmic-ray flux by Pamela and Fermi. Concentrating on supersymmetric models, we consider the effect of these non-standard cosmologies in selecting a preferred mass scale for the lightest supersymmetric particle as dark matter candidate, and the consequent impact on the interpretation of new physics discovered or excluded at the LHC. Finally, we examine a rather predictive model, the G2-MSSM, investigating some of the standard assumptions usually implemented in the solution of the Boltzmann equation for the dark matter component, including coannihilations. We question the hypothesis that kinetic equilibrium holds along the whole phase of dark matter generation, and the validity of the factorization usually implemented to rewrite the system of coupled Boltzmann equation for each coannihilating species as a single equation for the sum of all the number densities. As a byproduct we develop here a formalism to compute the kinetic decoupling temperature in case of coannihilating particles, which can be applied also to other particle physics frameworks, and also to standard thermal relics within a standard cosmology.

description: We use Chandra and XMM-Newton to study the hot gas content in a sample of field early-type galaxies. We find that the L_X-L_K relationship is steeper for field galaxies than for comparable galaxies in groups and clusters. The low hot gas content of field galaxies with L_K < L_star suggests that internal processes such as supernovae driven winds or AGN feedback expel hot gas from low mass galaxies. Such mechanisms may be less effective in groups and clusters where the presence of an intragroup or intracluster medium can confine outflowing material. In addition, galaxies in groups and clusters may be able to accrete gas from the ambient medium. While there is a population of L_K < L_star galaxies in groups and clusters that retain hot gas halos, some galaxies in these rich environments, including brighter galaxies, are largely devoid of hot gas. In these cases, the hot gas halos have likely been removed via ram pressure stripping. This suggests a very complex interplay between the intragroup/intracluster medium and hot gas halos of galaxies in rich environments with the ambient medium helping to confine or even enhance the halos in some cases and acting to remove gas in others. In contrast, the hot gas content of more isolated galaxies is largely a function of the mass of the galaxy, with more massive galaxies able to maintain their halos, while in lower mass systems the hot gas escapes in outflowing winds.

Analytical and numerical results for phase field, implicit free boundary, and fluid models
Creators: name: Cheng, Xinyu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: In this dissertation, we study analytical and numerical methods on three topics in the area of partial differential equations (PDE). These topics are: the Allen-Cahn dynamics (AC) in the study of phase field models for materials science problems, the Oxygen depletion model (OD) in the study of free boundary problems, and the stationary surface quasi-geostrophic equation (SQG) in the study of fluid dynamics. We first study the behaviour in the meta-stable regime of AC and show by computation evidence and asymptotic analysis that backward Euler method satisfies energy stability with large time steps. We also give a rigorous proof for the two-dimensional radially symmetric case. In the second project, we show several mathematical formulations of OD from the literature and give a new formulation based on a gradient flow with constraint. We prove the equivalence of all formulations and study the numerical approximations of the problem that arise from the different formulations. More general (vector, higher order) implicit free boundary value problems are discussed. In the final project, we develop a new framework of ``convex integration scheme'' and construct a non-trivial solution to the stationary SQG. We thus prove the non-uniqueness of the solutions to the stationary SQG.

Effector recognition

description: Flax rust effector proteins AvrP and AvrP123 are recognised by the flax resistance proteins, P and P1, P2, P3, respectively. Variants of these effectors with different host-recognition specificities are found in the flax rust strains 271, 339, bs25 and WA. In this study, investigation was conducted on regions in AvrP and AvrP123 that are recognised by their cognate resistance proteins. Agrobacterium-mediated expression of AvrP and AvrP123 variants in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) and flax (Linum usitatissimum) was used to observe necrosis induction as an indicator of recognition. For AvrP, deletions were generated based on the structure of the protein, whereas domain swaps and mutations were generated based on amino acid polymorphisms present in the AvrP variant from strain 271, which is not recognised by P, P1, P2 or P3. Amino acid polymorphisms involved in AvrP recognition were found to be located near the C-terminus of the protein. From the structure of AvrP, it was known that AvrP and AvrP123 each bind three zinc atoms. Mutational disruption of zinc binding in AvrP resulted in a loss of protein stability and a loss of recognition by P. For AvrP123, deletions and domain swaps were generated based on amino acid polymorphisms present in AvrP123 variants from strains 339, bs25 and WA. Recognition or AvrP123 by P1 was found to be determined by the mature N-terminal region of the protein just after the signal peptide, whereas P2 and P3 were found to recognise the C-terminal region of AvrP123. In an attempt to find interactor proteins targeted by AvrP in host cells, a yeast-two hybrid assay was conducted using cDNA library derived from rust-infected flax leaves. Four candidates were identified, one candidate from the pathogen, designated SIAP (Secreted Interactor of AvrP) and three candidates from the host, phosphoglucomutase, peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase FKBP12, and DEAD-box ATP-dependent RNA helicase 56. Each of these candidates is a plausible target for AvrP effector function in the plant cells, but further analysis is required to confirm these interactions and to determine the effect of AvrP on interactor function.

description: We study the community structure of networks representing voting on resolutions in the United Nations General Assembly. We construct networks from the voting records of the separate annual sessions between 1946 and 2008 in three different ways: (1) by considering voting similarities as weighted unipartite networks; (2) by considering voting similarities as weighted, signed unipartite networks; and (3) by examining signed bipartite networks in which countries are connected to resolutions. For each formulation, we detect communities by optimizing network modularity using an appropriate null model. We compare and contrast the results that we obtain for these three different network representations. In so doing, we illustrate the need to consider multiple resolution parameters and explore the effectiveness of each network representation for identifying voting groups amidst the large amount of agreement typical in General Assembly votes.

description: We calculate the one loop graviton vacuum polarization induced by a massless, nonminimally coupled scalar field on Minkowski background. We make use of the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism, which allows us to study time dependent phenomena. As an application we compute the leading quantum correction to the Newtonian potential of a point particle. The novel aspect of the calculation is the use of the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism, within which we calculate the time transients induced by switching on of the graviton-scalar coupling.

description: In this reply, we point out several criticisms of the analysis in arXiv:0909.2633 and show that the comment does not change the underlying conclusion presented by ourselves that there is no measurable deficit in the scattering cross section of hydrogen. We therefore consider that our original conclusions are correct namely that the previous anomalies in the cross section are due to experimental effects related to the use of indirect geometry spectrometers.

description: A key purpose of the transportation system is to provide access to critical services such as grocery stores. Maintaining food access during an emergency or other disruption is all the more important, particularly for vulnerable households. Most people in the United States rely on the use of private automobiles for grocery shopping. Thus, disruptions to road networks due to heavy precipitation, flooding, or even major maintenance and repair projects present notable threats to accessibility. Regional planning models that address food accessibility issues (not all do) typically do not consider households’ familiarity with grocery locations. However, during a disruptive event, a household’s familiarity with at least one available route to a retail grocery location becomes paramount. Identifying the roadways that are most critical to food access can help decision makers devise strategies to mitigate the risks of food insecurity for vulnerable households and populations.

description: We present the first results of an ongoing spectroscopic follow-up of close luminous red galaxy (LRGs) and MgII λλ 2796,2803 absorber pairs for an initial sample of 15 photometrically selected LRGs at physical projected separations ρ \le 350 kpc/h from a QSO sightline. Our moderate-resolution spectra confirm a physical association between the cool gas (T ~ 1e4 K) revealed by the presence of MgII absorption features and the LRG halo in five cases. In addition, we report an empirical estimate of the maximum covering fraction (κ_max) of cool gas in massive, \ge 1e13 Msun/h dark matter halos hosting LRGs at z ~ 0.5. This study is performed using a sample of foreground LRGs that are located at ρ < 400 kpc/h from a QSO sightline. The LRGs are selected to have a robust photometric redshift σ_z/(1+z_ph) \approx 0.03. We determine κ_max based on the incidence of MgII absorption systems that occur within z_ph +/- 3sigma_z in the spectra of the background QSOs. Despite the large uncertainties in z_ph, this experiment provides a conservative upper limit to the covering fraction of cool gas in the halos of LRGs. We find that κ_max \approx 0.07 at W_r(2796) \ge 1.0 A and κ_max \approx 0.18 at W_r(2796) \ge 0.5 A, averaged over 400 kpc/h radius. Our study shows that while cool gas is present in \ge 1e13 Msun/h halos, the mean covering fraction of strong absorbers is no more than 7%.

description: Not only since COVID-19, the topic of decentralized working and learning methods is becoming increasingly important for various reasons. New virtual reality technologies enable learning in immersive scenarios, which is good when learning from home is advised. However, not all immersive Virtual Reality (iVR) training incorporates learning systems that support complex, realistic, practical tasks that lead to a product or enable acquiring knowledge and life-enhancing skills like project-based learning. Although there are many iVR applications available that support project management, the specific features of these applications that lead to the intention to use (and therefore life-enhancing skills) have yet to be discovered. In this exploratory mixed-method study, we investigated the question of the importance of perceived usefulness (PU) and job relevance (JR) as predictors of intention to use (ItU) in a selection of immersive iVR application features. We started with market research and aggregated 88 software features in 13 categories of 34 professional iVR applications. After an expert selection and ranking procedure, a survey was developed. After deriving from the TAM 2 model and with a sample n = 103, we computed the relationship of JR, PU, and ItU. Although high values were generally observed, we found that the importance of PU is higher than JR when it comes to ItU. Limitations of the study are discussed, and suggestions for further research are given.
The local trace formula as a motivic identity
Creators: name: Belk, Edward Alexander George
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: In 1991, James Arthur published a local trace formula ([Art91, Theorem 12.2]), which is an equality of distributions on the Lie algebra of a connected, reductive algebraic group G over a field F of characteristic zero. His approach was later used by Jean-Loup Waldspurger to give a slight reformulation, identifying the value of a particular distribution on a test function with that of its Fourier transform ([Wal95, Théorème V.2]). We show that this identity may be formulated as an identity of motivic distributions on definable manifolds. By so doing, we would make available the use of the transfer principle to establish the trace formula for groups defined over fields of positive characteristic.
The Quark-Meson Coupling model as a description of dense matter

description: Quantum Hadrodynamics provides a useful framework for investigating dense matter, yet it breaks down easily when strangeness carrying baryons are introduced into the calculations, as the baryon effective masses become negative due to large meson field potentials. The Quark-Meson Coupling model overcomes this issue by incorporating the quark structure of the nucleon, thus allowing for a feedback between the the nuclei and the interaction with the meson fields. With the inclusion of this feature, QMC provides a successful description of finite nuclei and nuclear matter. We present the latest parameterization of QMC and discuss the predictions for dense nuclear matter and `neutron' stars.

description: We study the scattering theory for charged Klein-Gordon equations: \[\{{array}{l} (\p_{t}- ıv(x))^{2}ϕ(t,x) ε^{2}(x, D_{x})ϕ(t,x)=0,[2mm] ϕ(0, x)= f_{0}, [2mm] ı^{-1} \p_{t}ϕ(0, x)= f_{1}, {array}. \] where: \[ε^{2}(x, D_{x})= \sum_{1\leq j, k\leq n}(\p_{x_{j}} ıb_{j}(x))A^{jk}(x)(\p_{x_{k}} ıb_{k}(x))+ m^{2}(x),\] describing a Klein-Gordon field minimally coupled to an external electromagnetic field described by the electric potential $v(x)$ and magnetic potential $\vec{b}(x)$. The flow of the Klein-Gordon equation preserves the energy: \[ h[f, f]:= \int_{\rr^{n}}\bar{f}_{1}(x) f_{1}(x)+ \bar{f}_{0}(x)ε^{2}(x, D_{x})f_{0}(x) - \bar{f}_{0}(x) v^{2}(x) f_{0}(x) \d x. \] We consider the situation when the energy is not positive. In this case the flow cannot be written as a unitary group on a Hilbert space, and the Klein-Gordon equation may have complex eigenfrequencies. Using the theory of definitizable operators on Krein spaces and time-dependent methods, we prove the existence and completeness of wave operators, both in the short- and long-range cases. The range of the wave operators are characterized in terms of the spectral theory of the generator, as in the usual Hilbert space case.
