description: We present an ellipticity resolved study of momentum distributions arising from strong-field ionization of Helium at constant intensity. The influence of the ion potential on the departing electron is considered within a semi-classical model consisting of an initial tunneling step and subsequent classical propagation. We find that the momentum distribution can be explained by the presence of a longitudinal momentum spread of the electron at the exit from the tunnel. Our combined experimental and theoretical study provides an estimate of this momentum spread.

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1989
Subjects: Computer science

description: Language generation systems have used a variety of grammatical formalisms for producing syntactic structure and yet, there has been little research evaluating the formalisms for the specifics of the generation task. In our work at Columbia we have primarily used a unification based formalism, a Functional Unification Grammar (FUG) [Kay 79] and have found it well suited for many of the generation tasks we have addressed. Over the course of the past 5 years we have also explored the use of various off-the-shelf parsing formalisms, including an Augmented Transition Network (ATN) [Woods 701], a Bottom-Up Chart Parser (SUP) [Finin 84], and a Declarative Clause Grammar (DCG) [Pereira and Warren 80]. In contrast, we have found that parsing formalisms do not have the same benefits for the generation task.

Rehearsing a maroon mythopoetics in mathematics education through consideration of an artefact of mathematics popularization (the pedagogical film All is Number)
Creators: name: Khan, Steven Kamaluddin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: In this transdisciplinary study I rehearse ideas of communication, discourse, identity, representation, ethics, and responsibility as they relate to mathematics education through critical engagement with the medium of a specific pedagogic film – All is Number – which was produced in the Caribbean and intended for Secondary School and non-specialist audiences. I argue that popularizations of science and mathematics, even as they work to interrupt particular limiting narratives, simultaneously participate in ideological, political moral and aesthetic economies and ecologies in which the discursive enactments of colonial power/knowledge are necessarily implicated and show that mathematics popularization has proselytizing and pedagogic functions. I consider the film All is Number to be situated with/in the heteroglossia of broader cultural phenomena, viz. the ‘popularization’ of educational consumption, and most specifically, the popularization of mathematics. Specifically, I illustrate how the film constructs an idea of mathematical authority and mathematics that is simultaneously sensitive to concerns in the mathematics education literature about the representation of mathematical practitioners and mathematics yet insensitive to practices of Othering. I argue that the film is an ethnomathematical artefact representing aspects of a particular culture of mathematics and that the mythopoetic tradition in Curriculum Studies might serve as a useful alloy for ethnomathematical studies. In addition, I contribute towards a language for Caribbean Curriculum Theorizing by arguing that the film and dissertation as anomalous places of learning can be construed as a maroon narrative. I introduce and rehearse the implications of my concept of intervulnerability where rehearsal is taken as being an ethically and epistemologically vigilant mode of dialogical inquiry, a demythologizing critique and recursive elaboration.

description: The principle of mutual trust binding the Member States constitutes a principle of fundamental importance in the EU. Indeed, it allows swift and smooth cooperation between national authorities within the European area without internal borders. This principle is justified by the fact the Member States share common values, including the rule of law, fundamental rights, and democracy. It is because they are said to share these values that they are required to trust in each other and, thus, to cooperate without controlling each other’s actions. The EU however faces for several years now a crisis of values. This crisis impairs the proper working of the principle of mutual trust, as it put into question the trust that Member States could place in each other. In this context, this working paper proposes a new method of application of the principle of mutual trust, taking into account the risk threatening the common values within the European Union.

description: Beta-delayed proton emission from nuclides in the neighborhood of 100Sn was studied at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. The nuclei were produced by fragmentation of a 120 MeV/nucleon 112Sn primary beam on a Be target. Beam purification was provided by the A1900 Fragment Separator and the Radio Frequency Fragment Separator. The fragments of interest were identified and their decay was studied with the NSCL Beta Counting System (BCS) in conjunction with the Segmented Germanium Array (SeGA). The nuclei 96Cd, 98Ing, 98Inm and 99In were identified as beta-delayed proton emitters, with branching ratios bp = 5.5(40)%, 5.5+3 -2%, 19(2)% and 0.9(4)%, respectively. The bp for 89Ru, 91,92Rh, 93Pd and 95Ag were deduced for the first time with bp = 3+1.9 -1.7%, 1.3(5)%, 1.9(1)%, 7.5(5)% and 2.5(3)%, respectively. The bp = 22(1)% for 101Sn was deduced with higher precision than previously reported. The impact of the newly measured bp values on the composition of the type-I X-ray burst ashes was studied.

Subjects: GISAXS, SAXS, grazing-incidence small-angle x-ray scattering, SMILEI, Simulation, Density Oscialltion

description: This bachelor thesis studies the feasibility of grazing-incidence small-angle x-ray scattering
 (GISAXS) in the UHI laser-target interaction via computational simulations with SMILEI. In
 this work we briefly analyze the front and back of the target. We find predominantly that the
 compression of the target becomes apparent in the GISAXS pattern, while we can not observe
 ablation. We will mainly focus on the density oscillation, a dynamic that has not been mentio-
 ned in literature yet. The density oscillation dynamics depend on a simple pressure gradient
 in between the layers. We observe the multi layers inversely oscillating in density and a global
 density alteration moving through the target. The density alteration allows to recognize the
 dynamic in a GISAXS pattern. We learn, that GISAXS is feasible in the high intensity regime,
 but not for the same dynamics as in the lower intensity regime.

description: This article examines the German occupation of Belgium and Northern France in 1914–1918. Besides focussing on the occupiers’ motives and logic of action regarding their policy and practices, it gives an idea of the complexity of the occupier/occupied relations. It is argued that the former were determined by alleged and actual constraints of economic warfare, while the latter were marked by the uncompromising character of this conflict, which even demanded of the civil population to contribute to the war effort. Thus, the totalization of warfare led to a fatal dynamic particularly in the occupied areas.

description: In this essay, I consider the scales and connections lost and gained as natural history adopts digital data infrastructures. On the basis of ongoing work in the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, I track the relations between insect specimens and their material and digital informational ecologies. Using Latour's notion of the ‘circulating reference’, I follow the insect specimens as they make their way into taxonomies, databases, and digitization apparatuses. In focusing on human-data mediations in museum practices of ordering, describing, and distributing specimens, I show how the datafication of nature makes present conventionally dissociated contexts, including German colonialism. Proposing the concept of a data formation, I suggest that ethnographers have much to contribute in bringing forward the sociocultural and historical specificities and contingencies within data.

description: This report serves three purposes: to record my observations and impressions from being in Tokyo before and after the March 11 earthquake; to summarize trips to Kobe and across Honshu to the Japan Sea coastal area; and to provide some thoughts as further information became available during April. Japan now faces its worst crisis since World War II. The earthquake quickly became a triple disaster. The immense tsunami generated by the earthquake hit the Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima prefecture coastlines with great devastation and loss of more than 22,000 lives. The tsunami also crippled the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, creating potential radiation threats and global repercussions for energy policy. Many of the effects of the triple disaster are long-lasting, and the flow of new, important information requires a continual revision of our understanding. This is particularly true regarding the Fukushima Dai-ichi power plant and electricity shortages, as well as development of energy policy. Accordingly, early May is my cut-off date for new information.

description: We study a three stage dark matter and neutrino observatory based on multi-ton two-phase liquid Xe and Ar detectors with sufficiently low backgrounds to be sensitive to WIMP dark matter interaction cross sections down to 10E-47 cm^2, and to provide both identification and two independent measurements of the WIMP mass through the use of the two target elements in a 5:1 mass ratio, giving an expected similarity of event numbers. The same detection systems will also allow measurement of the pp solar neutrino spectrum, the neutrino flux and temperature from a Galactic supernova, and neutrinoless double beta decay of 136Xe to the lifetime level of 10E27 - 10E28 y corresponding to the Majorana mass predicted from current neutrino oscillation data. The proposed scheme would be operated in three stages G2, G3, G4, beginning with fiducial masses 1-ton Xe + 5-ton Ar (G2), progressing to 10-ton Xe + 50-ton Ar (G3) then, dependent on results and performance of the latter, expandable to 100-ton Xe + 500-ton Ar (G4). This method of scale-up offers the advantage of utilizing the Ar vessel and ancillary systems of one stage for the Xe detector of the succeeding stage, requiring only one new detector vessel at each stage. Simulations show the feasibility of reducing or rejecting all external and internal background levels to a level <1 events per year for each succeeding mass level, by utilizing an increasing outer thickness of target material as self-shielding. The system would, with increasing mass scale, become increasingly sensitive to annual signal modulation, the agreement of Xe and Ar results confirming the Galactic origin of the signal. Dark matter sensitivities for spin-dependent and inelastic interactions are also included, and we conclude with a discussion of possible further gains from the use of Xe/Ar mixtures.

description: Economic models that do not incorporate financial frictions only explain about 70 to 80 percent of the decline in world trade that occurred in the 2008-2009 crisis. We review evidence that shows financial factors also contributed to the great trade collapse and uncover two new stylized facts in support of it. First, we show that the prices of manufactured exports rose relative to domestic prices during the crisis. Second, we show that US seaborne exports and imports, which are likely to be more sensitive to trade finance problems, saw their prices rise relative to goods shipped by air or land.

Economic mobilization beyond the initial needs of the troops involved increasing arms and munitions production, expanding the push for raw materials, mobilizing industrial and agricultural workers for the war economy, and allocating food and other resources based on the needs of the warfare-state. We discuss the role of organization and ability to deal with shortages of resources and production potentials. We also illustrate war-induced shortages and their consequences by using Germany as a case study of these processes.

M - sigma relation between SMBHs and the velocity dispersion of globular cluster systems

description: We find evidence that the mass MBH of central supermassive black holes (SMBHs) correlates with the velocity dispersion sigma_GC of globular cluster systems of their host galaxies. This extends the well-known MBH - sigma_sph relation between black hole mass and velocity dispersion of the host spheroidal component. We compile published measurements of both MBH and sigma_GC for a sample of 13 systems and find the relation log(MBH) = alpha + beta log(sigma_GC/200) with alpha = 8.63 \pm 0.09 and beta = 3.76 \pm 0.52. We also consider blue (metal-poor) and red (metal-rich) globular clusters sub-populations separately and obtain a surprisingly tight correlation using only the velocity dispersion sigma_GC^red of the red clusters with alpha = 8.73 \pm 0.09 and beta = 3.84 \pm 0.52 and an intrinsic scatter eps_0 = 0.22 dex compared to eps_0 = 0.27 dex for the MBH - sigma_sph of our sample. We use our MBH - sigma_GC relation to estimate the central black hole mass in five galaxies for which sigma_GC^red is measured.

description: In this article, we study the no-boundary wave function in scalar-tensor gravity with various potentials for the non-minimally coupled scalar field. Our goal is to calculate probabilities for the scalar field - and hence the effective gravitational coupling and cosmological constant - to take specific values. Most calculations are done in the minisuperspace approximation, and we use a saddle point approximation for the Euclidean action, which is then evaluated numerically. We find that for potentials that have several minima, none of them is substantially preferred by the quantum mechanical probabilities. We argue that the same is true for the stable and the runaway solution in the case of a dilaton-type potential. Technically, this is due to the inclusion of quantum mechanical effects (fuzzy instantons). These results are in contrast to the often held view that vanishing gravitation or cosmological constants would be exponentially preferred in quantum cosmology, and they may be relevant to the cosmological constant problem and the dilaton stabilization problem.

Displaced displacement : an a/r/tographic performance of experiences of being unhomed
Creators: name: Golparian, Shaya
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This study is an a/r/tographic living inquiry that investigates the theme of displacement through visual and textual performances of my experiences of being un/homed. It is an aesthetic (and not anesthetic) self-exploration of my struggles of in-betweenness and unbelonging through and with/in multiple layers of my identity as a Persian-Canadian, and emigrant/immigrant artist, researcher, learner, and teacher. Additionally, this work draws on post-colonial literature to analyze the journey of an artist, researcher and teacher sharing her personal experiences as an emigrant/immigrant struggling with absence and loss, trying to make a place to belong. In the pedagogical process/product of this living performance, I re-visit, and re-member my lived and living struggles with the concepts of home, language, Othering, invisibility, exoticism, pain and ethics, and critically analyze those struggles through a post-colonial lens. What is re-presented throughout this dissertation is a critical self-exploration through art creation (photographs and video installations) and writing. I suggest that through the process of visually/textually writing about home one can create a home for oneself in the spaces of one’s creation. I highlight the significance of the pedagogical moments of being together, with pain and I call for a sensitive pedagogy of representation in art education.

description: We show that the complex saddle points of the no-boundary wave function with a positive cosmological constant and a positive scalar potential have a representation in which the geometry consists of a regular Euclidean AdS domain wall that makes a smooth transition to a Lorentzian, inflationary universe that is asymptotically deSitter. The transition region between AdS and dS regulates the volume divergences of the AdS action and accounts for the phases that explain the classical behavior of the final configuration. This leads to a dual formulation in which the semiclassical no-boundary measure is given in terms of the partition function of field theories on the final boundary that are certain relevant deformations of the CFTs that occur in AdS/CFT. We conjecture that the resulting dS/CFT duality holds also beyond the leading order approximation.

description: We use a single site lattice in four dimensions to study the scaling of large N Yang-Mills field coupled to a single massless Dirac fermion in the adjoint representation. We use the location of the strong to weak coupling transition defined through the eigenvalues of the folded Wilson loop operator to set a scale. We do not observe perturbative scaling in the region studied in this paper. Instead, we observe that the scale changes very slowly with the bare coupling. The lowest eigenvalue of the overlap Dirac operator is another scale that shows similar behavior as a function of the lattice coupling. We speculate that this behavior is due to the beta function appoaching close to a zero.

Deze gemaakte investeringen dreigen echter teniet te gaan als er geen wettelijke ruimte komt om LLO duurzaam te borgen. UNL pleit daarom voor de wettelijke erkenning van hoger onderwijs voor professionals. De wijze waarop en het tempo hierin willen we samen met de MBO Raad, Vereniging Hogescholen, NRTO, het werkveld en ministeries nader verkennen.

description: Designing resource allocation strategies for power constrained sensor network in the presence of correlated data often gives rise to intractable problem formulations. In such situations, applying well-known strategies derived from conditional-independence assumption may turn out to be fairly suboptimal. In this paper, we address this issue by proposing an adjacency-based spatial whitening scheme, where each sensor exchanges its observation with their neighbors prior to encoding their own private information and transmitting it to the fusion center. We comment on the computational limitations for obtaining the optimal whitening transformation, and propose an iterative optimization scheme to achieve the same for large networks. We demonstrate the efficacy of the whitening framework by considering the example of bit-allocation for distributed estimation.

description: Low-scale supersymmetry breaking in string motivated theories implies the presence of O(100) TeV scale moduli, which generically lead to a significant modification of the history of the universe prior to Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. Such an approach implies a non-thermal origin for dark matter resulting from scalar decay, where the lightest supersymmetric particle can account for the observed dark matter relic density. We study the further effect of the decay on the baryon asymmetry of the universe, and find that this can satisfactorily address the problem of the over-production of the baryon asymmetry by the Affleck-Dine mechanism in the MSSM. Remarkably, there is a natural connection between the baryon and dark matter abundances today, which leads to a solution of the `Cosmic Coincidence Problem'.

description: We present the first systematic algorithm to estimate the maximum packing density of spheres when the grain sizes are drawn from an arbitrary size distribution. With an Apollonian filling rule, we implement our technique for disks in 2d and spheres in 3d. As expected, the densest packing is achieved with power-law size distributions. We also test the method on homogeneous and on empirical real distributions, and we propose a scheme to obtain experimentally accessible distributions of grain sizes with low porosity. Our method should be helpful in the development of ultra-strong ceramics and high performance concrete.

Fostering artistry and pedagogy : conversations with artist-teachers Frederick Hemke, Eugene Rousseau, and Donald Sinta
Creators: name: Nolan, Julia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This research presents three case studies that explore university teachers in the private music studio and in the master class setting, framed by one central question: how do artist-teachers articulate, negotiate, and give shape to their pedagogical practices about artistry and interpretation within the context of private music education? The cases focus on saxophone artist-teachers Frederick Hemke at Northwestern University, Eugene Rousseau at the University of Minnesota, and Donald Sinta at the University of Michigan. I analyzed instrumental music performance teaching and learning from the perspective of the three artist-teachers. The data collected from interviews, observations, and my personal narratives provide a rich resource for the analysis of the professional lives of master musicians, their pedagogies, and their thoughts about artistry in music performance and instruction. Interviews with many of the artist-teachers’ students also informed my analysis. More important, this study connects present and future saxophonists by capturing the voices of recognized artist-teachers about artistry and pedagogy. Central to this thesis are the discovery of how little has changed in the concepts of artistry and pedagogy over time and across the evolution of musical styles, and recognition of the power of the strong bonds that connect generations of students with their teachers and their teachers’ teachers. Understanding and insight gained through data analysis and reflection on the outcomes illustrate a need for further research in the area of music performance with artist-teachers in the performance world, and a need to collect narratives from master musicians who incorporate teaching and performance experiences. Research into the setting for private music instruction is burgeoning. I provide a particular viewpoint into the lives and pedagogies of three North American artist-teachers of saxophone from my perspective as a performer, teacher, and researcher, as a model to encourage further research that contributes to knowledge in the academy about music performance and private music instruction.

description: Through investigating the pivotal role of honour in private and public matters, in foreign and domestic relations, and in propaganda and everyday life during the First World War, this article examines the practices of public shaming (e.g. regarding supposed cowards and enemy soldiers), and the devotion to sacrifice oneself and beloved ones. It traces the roots of these highly gendered concepts of honour and shame in the moral economy of Europe’s 19th century, deciphering the codes of aristocratic-bourgeois societies, where statesmen equated honour with power, the military became an instrument of education, the social meaning of duels increased, and female (sexual) honour had to be protected by the chivalrous male.

description: The First World War had a decisive, but paradoxical impact on the development of labour movements in Belgium. The occupation abruptly interrupted the development of labour movement structures. In the longer term, however, the war and occupation meant the breakthrough of labour movements as significant mass organizations and stimulated their integration in Belgian national political life.

description: Despite over seven thousand miles of separation from the Western Front, Imperial Japan underwent a political transformation during the First World War almost as dramatic as that in the vanquished capitals of Europe. As was the case with most belligerents, the outbreak of war in August 1914 initially drove politics to the right in Tokyo. By 1918, however, the tangible consequences of dramatic wartime economic growth transformed the national political landscape. By the time of the Paris Peace Conference, Japan was well on its way to a new 20th century polity.

description: The package CosmoLib is a combination of a cosmological Boltzmann code and a simulation toolkit to forecast the constraints on cosmological parameters from future observations. In this paper we describe the released linear-order part of the package. We discuss the stability and performance of the Boltzmann code. This is written in Newtonian gauge and including dark energy perturbations. In CosmoLib the integrator that computes the CMB angular power spectrum is optimized for a $\ell$-by-$\ell$ brute-force integration, which is useful for studying inflationary models predicting sharp features in the primordial power spectrum of metric fluctuations. The numerical code and its documentation are available at http://www.cita.utoronto.ca/~zqhuang/CosmoLib.

description: Portugal’s wartime governments never formulated a concrete set of war aims. The nature of the country’s intervention did not lend itself to this kind of debate. With a long-defined border with Spain, and more colonial territory than it could administer, Portugal was satisfied territorially. However, the open-ended commitment to the Allied war effort made by the Sacred Union governments meant that a growing imbalance between sacrifices made, and potential rewards, became an inescapable issue in Portuguese wartime politics. What debate took place regarded the extent to which Portugal could rely on its Allies to respect its existing interests after the war. The omens, however, were not good.
