description: Optical and electronic phenomena in solids arise from the behaviour of electrons and holes (unoccupied states in a filled electron sea). Electron-hole symmetry can often be invoked as a simplifying description, which states that electrons with energy above the Fermi sea behave the same as holes below the Fermi energy. In semiconductors, however, electron-hole symmetry is generally absent since the energy band structure of the conduction band differs from the valence band. Here we report on measurements of the discrete, quantized-energy spectrum of electrons and holes in a semiconducting carbon nanotube. Through a gate, an individual nanotube is filled controllably with a precise number of either electrons or holes, starting from one. The discrete excitation spectrum for a nanotube with N holes is strikingly similar to the corresponding spectrum for N electrons. This observation of near perfect electron-hole symmetry demonstrates for the first time that a semiconducting nanotube can be free of charged impurities, even in the limit of few-electrons or holes. We furthermore find an anomalously small Zeeman spin splitting and an excitation spectrum indicating strong electron-electron interactions.

title: Quantum optical states and Bose-Einstein condensation : a dynamical group approach
Creators: name: Feng, Yinqi
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2001

description: The concept of coherent states for a quantum system has been generalized in many different ways. One elegant way is the dynamical group approach. The subject of this thesis is the physical application of some dynamical group methods in quantum optics and Bose-Einstein Condensation(BEC) and their use in generalizing some quantum optical states and BEC states. We start by generalizing squeezed coherent states to the displaced squeezed phase number states and studying the signal-to-quantum noise ratio for these states. Following a review of the properties of Kerr states and the basic theory of the deformation of the boson algebra, we present an algebraic approach to Kerr states and generalize them to the squeezed states of the q-parametrized harmonic oscillator. Using the eigenstates of a nonlinear density-dependent annihilation operator of the deformed boson algebra, we propose general time covariant coherent states for any time-independent quantum system. Using the ladder operator approach similar to that of binomial states, we construct interpolating number-coherent states, intermediate states which are generalizations of some fundamental states in quantum optics. Salient statistical properties and non-classical features of these interpolating numbercoherent states are investigated and the interaction with an atomic system in the framework of the Jaynes-Cummings model and the scheme to produce these states are also studied in detail. After briefly reviewing the realization of Bose-Einstein Condensates and relevant theoretical research using mean-field theory, we present a dynamical group approach to Bose-Einstein condensation and the atomic tunnelling between two condensates which interact via a minimal coupling term. First we consider the spectrum of one Bose-Einstein condensate and show that the mean-field dynamics is characterised by the semi-direct product of the 8U(1,1) and Heisenberg-Weyl groups.We then construct a generalized version of the BEC ground states and weakly excited states. It is shown that our states for BEC provide better fits to the experimental results. Then we investigate the tunnelling between the excitations in two condensates which interact via a minimal coupling term. The dynamics of the two interacting Bose systems is characterised by the 80(3,2) group, which leads to an exactly solvable model. Further we describe the dynamics of the tunnelling of the two coupled condensates in terms of the semi-direct product of 80(3,2) and two independent Heisenberg-Weyl groups. From this we obtain the energy spectrum and eigenstates for the two interacting Bose-Einstein condensates, as well as the Josephson current between the two coupled condensates.

The Balance of Payments Constraint as an Explanation of International Growth Rate Differences

Subjects: subject: balance of payments, growth, dynamic Harrod trade multiplier
subject: F32, F43

description: The paper shows that if long-run balance of payments equilibrium on current account is a requirement then a country's long run growth rate can be approximated by the ratio of the growth of exports to the income elasticity of demand for imports. The model fits well the experience of eighteen OECD countries. It is output, not relative prices, that adjusts the balance of payments, contrary to the neoclassical orthodoxy. Growth can be demand constained by the balance of payments. Paper originally published in vol. 32 n. 128 (1979), pp. 45-53, of BNL Quarterly Review. JEL Codes: F32, F43

For elliptic curves in global minimal form, it seems likely this result is true in a uniform manner. We present such a result for certain infinite families of curves and points. Our methods allow the first explicit examples of the elliptic Zsigmondy Theorem to be exhibited.

description: The article introduces the current issue of the journal, placing the different articles in context. The present issue of PSL Quarterly Review is fully devoted to problems connected to the current crisis. The papers published here are a selection of those originally presented at the Symposium “Where to direct proposals and action to make financial reforms effective for systemic resilience and sustainable growth” held in Rome on 1-2 June 2011, and revised in the light of the discussion at the Symposium and in answer to the referees’ suggestions. While the economic and policy debate continues unabated, it has very little impact on policy decisions. These are mainly taken in immediate response to specific events, while the most relevant issue, that of re-regulating the financial side of the world economy, is still in its infancy.

description: A method of integral equations is developed to study inhomogeneous fluids with planar spins in an external field. As a result, the calculations for these systems appear to be no more difficult than those for ordinary homogeneous liquids. The approach proposed is applied to the ferromagnetic XY spin fluid in a magnetic field using a soft mean spherical closure and the Born-Green-Yvon equation. This provides an accurate reproduction of the complicated phase diagram behavior obtained by cumbersome Gibbs ensemble simulation and multiple histogram reweighting techniques.

A critical assessment of the European approach to financial reforms
Creators: name: Montanaro, Elisabetta

Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: financial reforms, European Union, Basel 3, Vickers Commission, ring-fencing.
subject: G21, G28, E6

description: The paper offers a critical assessment of the financial reforms adopted or proposed at the European level. The reshaping of the EU institutional architecture and the adoption of the new Basel 3 rules should reduce the national margins of discretion that have up to now characterised supervisory practices, often leading to light touch supervision, and restrain the growth of bankarisation, hence excessive systemic leveraging. However, the limitations of a purely prudential approach to regulation may not be overcome by setting up new institutions and make prudential requirements more stringent. In addition, given unavoidable national banking specificities, more severe rulebooks homogenously applied across the EU countries could further worsen the inconsistencies of a one-size-fits-all rule. The criticisms directed at the new regulatory framework assume particular relevance in the EU, whose peculiar construction requires that the financial sector should not be permitted to jeopardise its critical fiscal equilibrium. This opens the way to the adoption of structural measures, as the one presented by the Vickers Commission on ring-fencing. Looking at the financial system as a whole, we argue that even these measures do not offer effective protection for the economy and tax-payers, and that much more radical interventions are needed.

description: Two of the major provisions of the Dodd‐Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, passed into law on July 21 2010, aim to reduce speculation with financial institutions own funds using highly leveraged derivatives. The so‐called “Volcker rule” limits the ability to trade as principal in what is known as “proprietary trading” and the Lincoln Amendment or the “push out” rule limits derivatives dealing for regulated, insured banks. A complement to the Lincoln amendment requires that all over the counter derivatives be cleared through official mechanisms and traded on regulated exchanges similar to those used for commodities.

Rethinking regulation: international banks in Asian emerging markets

subject: F23, G15, G21, G28

description: Financial systems in Asian emerging market economies are seen as resilient because of their performance during and after the 2008 crisis. But such assessments focus on the current status rather than the direction of evolution of those systems, many of which are being substantially liberalised. One consequence is the growing presence of foreign banks in these markets, invited on the grounds that they would enhance competition and induce domestic banking systems to adopt better technologies and practices. By contrast, it is here maintained that what they are likely to do is alter banking behaviour in ways that are inimical to growth and inclusion and increase instability. JEL Codes: F23, G15, G21, G28

description: Three separate experiments were conducted on citrus, banana and mango to characterize the physiological responses of these fruits to chilling temperatures and to correlate these changes with subjective evaluations of chilling injury. Subjective evaluations of CI coincided with measurements of CO2 and C2H4 concentrations and were too late to determine incipient incidence of CI in order to effect corrective treatment. Low bioelectrical resistance and high electrolyte leakage were more sensitive indicators of CI revealing changes in membranae permeability prior to the initiation of visible symptom expression.
Financial governance and economic development: making sense of the Chinese experience

Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review

Subjects: subject: Chinese banks, market reforms, economic development
subject: G21, N65, O16

description: Despite fundamental market reforms, the Chinese financial system has remained a mixed system. From the perspectives of the mainstream doctrines of financial liberalization, this system is easily judged to be entailing serious allocative inefficiencies. Nevertheless, from alternative theoretical perspectives, the system might have been conducive to promoting productive efficiency. This paper argues that the actual experience does seem to indicate that, hitherto, the gains in productive efficiency have more than compensated for the losses in allocative efficiency. This judgement helps to make sense of the Chinese anomaly that a seemingly inefficient financial system has co-existed with the outstanding performance of financial deepening and economic development over the past three decades.

description: The argument for effective financial regulation to curb financial activity and associated volatility in primary commodity markets is now more compelling than ever, in the context of the renewed increase in food prices. However, as in much other financial regulation, the devil is in the detail. This paper considers recent patterns in global food markets and discusses some of the implications of recent moves to regulate financial activity in commodity futures markets in the US and the EU. Specific regulatory issues are considered and alternative strategies are considered. JEL Codes: F02, F14, G18, N50

Time delays between the soft and hard X-ray bands in GRS 1915+105

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The hard X-ray lightcurves exhibit delays of $\sim 1$ s with respect to the soft X-ray lightcurves when the microquasar GRS 1915+105 is in the state of frequent, regular outbursts (states $ρ$ and $κ$ of Belloni et al. 2000). Such outbursts are supposed to be driven by the radiation pressure instability of the inner disc parts. The hard X-ray delays are then caused by the time needed for the adjustment of the corona to changing conditions in the underlying disc. We support this claim by the computation of the time evolution of the disc, including a non-stationary evaporation of the disc and mass exchange with the corona.

description: Publicly available grid datasets with electric steady-state equivalent circuit models are crucial for the development and comparison of a variety of power system simulation tools and algorithms. Such algorithms are essential to analyze and improve the integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) in electrical power systems. Increased penetration of DERs, new technologies, and changing regulatory frameworks require the continuous development of the grid infrastructure. As a result, the number and versatility of grid datasets, which are required in power system research, increases. Furthermore, the used grids are created by different methods and intentions. This paper gives orientation within these developments: First, a concise overview of well-known, publicly available grid datasets is provided. Second, background information on the compilation of the grid datasets, including different methods, intentions and data origins, is reviewed and characterized. Third, common terms to describe electric steady-state distribution grids, such as representative grid or benchmark grid, are assembled and reviewed. Recommendations for the use of these grid terms are made.

The plants were found infected by a potyvirus with flexuous rods, produccing pinwheels in infected cytoplasm, transmitted mechanically and buy aphids in a non persisten manner. The virus reacted with an antiserum prepared against the Ivory Coast isolate of Yam Mosaic Virus an their coat proteins presented the same electrophoretic mobility. Differences in electrophoretic mobility were found with a yam potyvirus collected in Guadeloupe (FWI); the guyana isolate produced also a more severe vein-banding on Nicotiane benthammiana leaves than the other Yam isolates. Precautions must be taken in order to avoid any international exchange of infected material.

description: We have investigated properties of $α$-decay chains of recently produced superheavy elements Z=115 and Z=113 using the new Lagrangian model NL-SV1 with inclusion of the vector self-coupling of $ω$ meson in the framework of the relativistic mean-field theory. It is shown that the experimentally observed alpha-decay energies and half-lives are reproduced well by this Lagrangian model. Further calculations for the heavier elements with Z=117-125 show that these nuclei are superdeformed with a prolate shape in the ground state. A superdeformed shell-closure at Z=118 lends an additional binding and an extra stability to nuclei in this region. Consequently, it is predicted that the corresponding $Q_α$ values provide $α$-decay half-lives for heavier superheavy nuclei within the experimentally feasible conditions. The results are compared with those of macroscopic-microscopic approaches. A perspective of the difference in shell effects amongst various approaches is presented and its consequences on superheavy nuclei are discussed.
description: Revised version, 14 pages, 12 eps figures. To appear in PRC. Discussion on shell effects is shortened in the revised version. However, commonality of the role of shell effects in extreme superheavy regions and in the regions near the r-process path is maintained. Existence of a secondary superdeformed minimum for Z=113 is verified with another Lagrangian set
Introduction: the crisis of economies and economics

Subjects: subject: crisis, uncertainty, mainstream economics, Europe
subject: G01, B5, E12

description: The article introduces to the current issue of the journal by critically reviewing the articles published therein in light of both recent literature and current economic developments. The main topics dealt with concern the role of mainstream economics and ideology in creating the cultural and economic environment that lead to the crisis in the first place and that hinders now an effective policy response to it. Due to its institutional and governance failures, the European Union and the Eurozone in particular are being more affected by the crisis than any other economic area. There, while the recently rescued big financial institutions have started enjoying large profits from trading and speculation again, the sustainability of sovereign debts is being put under pressure due to lack of confidence in the face of severe austerity packages and the associated bleak growth perspectives. Overall, uncertainty concerning the international political and economic environment seem the main hindrance to economic recovery. However, clear strategies to restore confidence and a seemingly stable and “certain” economic context are not apparent at the horizon, with the necessary consequence that the financial crisis is most likely to continue exerting strong negative impacts on the real economy for a sustained period.

Taking the moral hazard out of banking: the next fundamental step in financial reform

Subjects: subject: financial crisis, SIFIs, sovereign risk, moral hazard, resolution procedure
subject: G01, G28, H12

description: The path between financial meltdown and moral hazard in banking is, at best, narrow and impervious. During the financial crisis, public support became the standard responseto save the banks in difficulty, heightening and broadening the moral hazard issue: subordinated/senior debt holders and large depositors were bailed out and equity holders were partially sheltered. In the Eurozone, the implicit promise to bail-out governments in difficulty has encouraged SIFIs and other financial operators to speculate on the yield differential between sovereigns and the ECB money market interest rates. The policy framework proposed here is two-pronged: the EFSF should evolve to permit more flexible and wide-ranging interventions, and be able to manage sovereign debt restructuring; with respect to SIFIs, very early corporate, market and supervisory responses are suggested. Intervention of supervisory authorities with mandatory (special) powers would occur before the threshold of non-viability and, on a gone-concern basis, in terms of a European resolution procedure.

Synchronization Gauges and the Principles of Special Relativity

description: The axiomatic bases of Special Relativity Theory (SRT) are thoroughly re-examined from an operational point of view, with particular emphasis on the status of Einstein synchronization in the light of the possibility of arbitrary synchronization procedures in inertial reference frames. Once correctly and explicitly phrased, the principles of SRT allow for a wide range of `theories' that differ from the standard SRT only for the difference in the chosen synchronization procedures, but are wholly equivalent to SRT in predicting empirical facts. This results in the introduction, in the full background of SRT, of a suitable synchronization gauge. A complete hierarchy of synchronization gauges is introduced and elucidated, ranging from the useful Selleri synchronization gauge (which should lead, according to Selleri, to a multiplicity of theories alternative to SRT) to the more general Mansouri-Sexl synchronization gauge and, finally, to the even more general Anderson-Vetharaniam-Stedman's synchronization gauge. It is showed that all these gauges do not challenge the SRT, as claimed by Selleri, but simply lead to a number of formalisms which leave the geometrical structure of Minkowski spacetime unchanged. Several aspects of fundamental and applied interest related to the conventional aspect of the synchronization choice are discussed, encompassing the issue of the one-way velocity of light on inertial and rotating reference frames, the GPS's working, and the recasting of Maxwell equations in generic synchronizations. Finally, it is showed how the gauge freedom introduced in SRT can be exploited in order to give a clear explanation of the Sagnac effect for counter-propagating matter beams.

description: This paper explores the influence of Fritz Machlup and the Bellagio Group on world monetary reform. After an examination of the literature, the paper addresses research into Machlup’s framing of the problem of world monetary reform, his method, his selection of economists to join the Bellagio Group, his close working relationship with the treasury and central bank officials who were the deputies of the Group of Ten, and his creation of a broad platform of joint conferences, papers and books to promote their work. Taking an historico-biographical approach, this paper draws on the archives and published works of Fritz Machlup, Robert Triffin and their contemporaries. JEL Codes: B22, B31, F31, F33

title: Understanding school cultures : developing participation
Creators: name: Black-Hawkins, Kristine
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2002

description: In this thesis I examine the relationship between school cultures and participation. I start by describing the three methodological approaches I have taken to explore these two key concepts. First, I discuss the reading I have undertaken for the study. Second, by reflecting on my existing experiences of schools and education, I present a series of autobiographical tales. Third, I provide an in-depth case study of a single school The study of this urban comprehensive school comprises the main part of the empirical work. By working as a learning support assistant whilst researching at the school I was able to observe closely its cultures and their relationship to processes of and barriers to participation. I focus on three aspects of this relationship: Interacting with Extemal Worlds, Forming Relationships within the Institutional Structures of a School and Supporting Classroom Learning: Valuing Diversity?

 Through an analysis of the findings from my reading, autobiographical fragments and the case study, I am able to redefine the key concepts of the thesis and establish si"'{ principal conclusions. I argue that the concept of school cultures is central to understanding participation and that the successful development of more participatory policies and practices requires a concomitant shift in school cultures. I note the importance of understanding members' values and beliefs and suggest that at the heart of developing participation is first, the nature of relationships between members and second, responses to diversity.

 I end the thesis with a critique of the study's methodology and a number of recommendations for further research. Finally, I consider the contribution this thesis has made to an understanding of the process of research through its intention to maintain integrity both within and between its methodological approaches and its conceptual development.

Implications of WMAP observations on Li abundance and stellar evolution models
Creators: name: Richard, Olivier

description: The WMAP determination of the baryon-to-photon ratio implies, through Big Bang nucleosynthesis, a cosmological Li abundance larger, by a factor of 2 to 3, than the Li abundance plateau observed in the oldest Pop II stars. It is however inescapable that there be a reduction by a factor of at least 1.6 to 2.0 of the surface Li abundance during the evolution of Pop II field stars with [Fe/H] < -1.5. That the observed Li be lower than cosmologically produced Li is expected from stellar evolution models. Since at turnoff most of the Li abundance reduction is caused by gravitational settling, the presence of Lithium 6 in some turnoff stars is also understood. Given that the WMAP implications for Li cosmological abundance and the Li Spite plateau can be naturally explained by gravitational settling in the presence of weak turbulence, there appears little need for exotic physics as suggested by some authors. Instead, there is a need for a better understanding of turbulent transport in the radiative zones of stars. This requires simulations from first principles. Rather strict upper limits to turbulent transport are determined for the Sun and Pop II stars.

The Enigmas of Fluctuations of the Universal Quantum Fields

description: The primary ingredients of reality are the universal quantum fields, which fluctuate persistently, spontaneously, and randomly. The general perception of the scientific community is that these quantum fluctuations are due to the uncertainty principle. Here, we present cogent arguments to show that the uncertainty principle is a consequence of the quantum fluctuations, but not their cause. This poses a conspicuous enigma as to how the universal fields remain immutable with an expectation value so accurate that it leads to experimental results, which are precise to one part in a trillion. We discuss some reasonable possibilities in the absence of a satisfactory solution to this enigma.

The visibility of the Galactic bulge in optical surveys. Application to the Gaia mission

description: The bulge is a region of the Galaxy which is of tremendous interest for understanding Galaxy formation. However, measuring photometry and kinematics in it raises several inherent issues, like high extinction in the visible and severe crowding. Here we attempt to estimate the problem of the visibility of the bulge at optical wavelengths, where large CCD mosaics allow to easily cover wide regions from the ground, and where future astrometric missions are planned. Assuming the Besancon Galaxy model and high resolution extinction maps, we estimate the stellar density as a function of longitude, latitude and apparent magnitude and we deduce the possibility of reaching and measuring bulge stars. The method is applied to three Gaia instruments, the BBP and MBP photometers, and the RVS spectrograph. We conclude that, while in the BBP most of the bulge will be accessible, in the MBP there will be a small but significant number of regions where bulge stars will be detected and accurately measured in crowded fields. Assuming that the RVS spectra may be extracted in moderately crowded fields, the bulge will be accessible in most regions apart from the strongly absorbed inner plane regions, because of high extinction, and in low extinction windows like the Baades's window where the crowding is too severe.

Backbone model for confined masonry walls for performance-based seismic design
Creators: name: Riahi, Zahra
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Nonlinear models are of paramount importance in the emerging field of performance-based earthquake engineering. In this study, an analytical model is developed capable of simulating the measured backbone of typical confined masonry (CM) walls whose response under lateral loads is mainly governed by shear deformations. Equations are developed for the cracking and maximum shear strength, and the cracking and ultimate deformation capacities. This model is based on the results of both monotonic and reversed cyclic experiments assembled in an extensive database, and developed through an iterative linear regression analysis. Owing to their anomalies, specimens with compression diagonal loading, height-to-length aspect ratio greater than 1.2, axial stress to masonry compressive strength ratio larger than 0.12, and those with column longitudinal reinforcement ratio below 1%, are not considered for the purpose of creating the, empirical equations. Several statistical and graphical tools are utilized to identify the most significant panel and tie column design variables; to set the functional forms that best relate them to model parameters; and to diagnose influential points that may exert undue impact on the analysis results. The effect of openings and panel aspect ratio on the strength characteristics of CM walls, the capability of existing equations to predict the observed backbone response, and the limitations of the proposed equations are discussed in detail. Model variability is also presented in lognormal fragility curves for different model parameters and at all limit states. The proposed backbone model is found to simulate reasonably well the seismic behaviour of CM walls whose properties conform to the assumptions of the model. However, it fails to track the observed backbone response of anomalous or atypical CM walls.
title: Executive compensation in charitable organizations: a comparison of media coverage and actual practice in Canada
Creators: name: Morrissey, Shaun
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2021

description: According to the Canada Revenue Agency, there are over 80,000 registered charities competing for donations from organizations and private citizens to raise funds for their charitable mandate and to cover their operating expenses. A threat in the form of negative perceptions noted by the media poses a risk to these charitable operations as one media perception highlights issues with exorbitant executive compensation in the charitable sector (Blumberg, 2018). Given charitable organizations are dependent on organizations and citizens for donations, media attention related to high compensation levels within a charitable organization, may threaten their ability to raise funds needed to achieve their mandate. My thesis consisted of three distinct phases. In Phase 1, publicly available media articles were thematically analyzed to determine the core concepts that are discussed by the media that have the potential to shape public perception to compensation within charitable organizations. Phase 2 consisted of analyzing the compensation data of nearly 20,000 Canadian charities to determine the actual practices of executive compensation in Canadian charitable organizations. Finally, Phase 3 quantitatively analyzed the compensation data of the organizations discussed in the media articles of Phase 1, to identify if the media is accurately representing the Canadian averages. The findings of these three phases revealed that the media is not accurately portraying the executive compensation practices of many of the not-for-profits organizations in Canada. My thesis significantly adds to the areas of research surrounding executive compensation within the charitable sector, as it is one of the first studies to assess the accuracy of the media coverage on executive compensation within the charitable sector and how this may shape the public’s perception on executive compensation. My thesis also provides a novel framework for charitable organizations to better benchmark their executive compensation levels to organizations of similar size based on Canadian averages.
