description: We look at the morphology of fast and slow rotator early-type galaxies. Edge-on fast rotators are lenticular galaxies. They appear like spiral galaxies with the gas and dust removed, and in some cases are flat ellipticals with disky isophotes. Fast rotators are often barred and span the same full range of bulge fractions as spiral galaxies. The slow rotators are rounder and are generally consistent with being genuine, namely spheroidal-like, elliptical galaxies. We propose a revision to the tuning-fork diagram by Hubble as it gives a misleading description of ETGs. We study for the first time the kinematic morphology-density T-Sigma relation using fast and slow rotators to replace lenticulars and ellipticals. We find that our relation is cleaner than using classic morphology. Slow rotators are nearly absent at the lowest density environments [f(SR)<2%] and generally constitute a small fraction [f(SR)~4%] of the total galaxy population in the environments explored by our survey, with the exception of the densest core of the Virgo cluster [f(SR)~20%]. We find a clean log-linear relation between the fraction f(Sp) of spiral galaxies and the local galaxy surface density. The existence of a smooth kinematic T-Sigma relation in the field excludes processes related to the cluster environment as main contributors to the apparent conversion of spirals into fast-rotators in low-density environments. It shows that the segregation is driven by local effects at the small-group scale. Only at the largest densities in the Virgo core does the f(Sp) relation break down and steepens sharply, while the fraction of slow-rotators starts to significantly increase. This suggests that a different mechanism is at work there. (Abridged)

A Digital-Discrete Method For Smooth-Continuous Data Reconstruction
Creators: name: Chen, Li
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: A systematic digital-discrete method for obtaining continuous functions with smoothness to a certain order (C^(n)) from sample data is designed. This method is based on gradually varied functions and the classical finite difference method. This new method has been applied to real groundwater data and the results have validated the method. This method is independent from existing popular methods such as the cubic spline method and the finite element method. The new digital-discrete method has considerable advantages for a large number of real data applications. This digital method also differs from other classical discrete methods that usually use triangulations. This method can potentially be used to obtain smooth functions such as polynomials through its derivatives f^(k) and the solution for partial differential equations such as harmonic and other important equations.

Development of a novel radical cyclization and new synthetic methods utilizing sulfur fluoride reagents
Creators: name: Mo, Jia Yi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: This thesis describes my contribution to the development of radical reactions for the synthesis of nitrogen heterocycles and new synthetic methods using sulfuryl fluoride and thionyl fluoride. Chapter 2 contains the development of a novel diastereoselective 6-endo-trig radical cyclization for the synthesis of disubstituted tetrahydrophthalazines from hydrazone. Four of the Boc-hydrazones were useful substrates to form trans-1,4-disubstituted tetrahydrophthalazines in 55-80% yield and up to 90% diastereomeric excess. In Chapter 3, I explain how I develop the first efficient method for SO₂F₂-mediated activation and substitution of aliphatic alcohols. This new method is effective for a wide range of primary alcohols using nitrogen, sulfur-, carbon-, oxygen-based nucleophiles (43-89% yield). Secondary alcohols were also successful substrates using aryl thiols in 49-65% yield and 94-100% enantiomeric excess. Chapter 4 sets forth the development of a more general SO₂F₂-mediated one-pot alcohol activation and substitution method that relies on the alkyl halide intermediates. This method expanded the scope include substitution to nucleophiles that were previously incompatible with one-pot SO₂F₂-mediated alcohol activation and substitution in Chapter 3. Lastly, I describe the development of an efficient sulfamate ester synthesis mediated by SOF₂ in Chapter 5. This new method relies on a key intermediate, either an alkyl fluorosulfite or aminosulfinyl fluoride. Subsequent substitution and oxidation of an alkyl fluorosulfite or aminosulfinyl fluoride affords the corresponding sulfamate ester in 38% to 90% isolated yield. I also applied this method to modify the surface of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), affording seven modified CNCs. These modified CNCs are currently undergoing detailed characterization.

description: In this investigation, the degree to which the number and percentage of Texas 4-year public university Black faculty members changed as a function of faculty rank from the 2005 academic year through the 2011 academic years was examined.  Utilizing archival data from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (2013a), a statistically significant difference was yielded between the percentage of Black Assistant Professors between the 2005 and 2011 academic year.  This increase was trivial with a Cohen’s d of 0.15.  Of interest, however, for Black faculty at the higher ranks of the professoriate (i.e., Associate Professor and Full Professors), statistically significant differences were not revealed between the 2005 and 2011 academic years.  Challenges experienced by Black faculty members as well as implications for increasing equal employment and advancement opportunities for Black faculty in the academy are also discussed in this study.

description: In this paper we work to describe the star-crossed six-year process of establishing a common college governance model, in a College which operated with few College or department level policy documents. The two authors were active and instrumental in developing a new interdepartmental governance model, and had a front row seat in the drama than unfolded. Without many other dedicated and responsible faculty, working to change minds toward voice, and away from passivity and avoidance, the project would not have succeeded. This paper discusses issues attendant to strengthening governance in a College of education where an old “normal school” culture of conservative custodialism, in a conservative state, worked against developing a more vigorous, if surely not radical mode of college governance. Yet with persistence, this effort was successful, if not perfect, and exists as the only such institution in a university of many colleges.

description: Populist parties are often argued to be very skilled in using digital media to attract supporters and strengthen linkages with their followers. However, only rarely has research shown this linkage empirically. This study explores whether arguments about the relation between digital platforms and populist voting can be substantiated using comparative survey data in France, Germany and Italy. Digital media include a variety of online platforms that can affect populist vote in different ways. This article addresses the relation between the political use of digital platforms and the populist vote. First, it looks at how the use of Social Networking Sites (SNS) and Mobile Instant Messaging Services (MIMS) is related to voting for populist parties. Second, it assesses whether the role of digital platforms is different for supporting digital ‘immigrant’ and digital ‘native’ populist parties. Third, it explores country differences in the relation between SNS and MIMS’ use and the populist vote. Using original online surveys, the article shows that political activities on SNS and MIMS platforms (sending messages or posting, discussing or convincing others to vote for a candidate) increase the probability of voting for populist parties. However, it also finds that the political use of digital media is associated with the populist vote under certain (and limited) circumstances, that is only for a subset of populist parties. Finally, it identifies important differences in how SNS and MIMS are linked to the populist vote in countries presenting diverse institutional features, web regulations and constellations of media systems.

description: Using data from 2.9/fb of integrated luminosity collected with the CDF II detector at the Tevatron, we search for resonances decaying into a pair of on-shell gauge bosons, WW or WZ, where one W decays into an electron and a neutrino, and the other boson decays into two jets. We observed no statistically significant excess above the expected standard model background, and we set cross section limits at 95% confidence level on G*(Randall-Sundrum graviton), Z', and W' bosons. By comparing these limits to theoretical cross sections, mass exclusion regions for the three particles are derived. The mass exclusion regions for Z' and W' are further evaluated as a function of their gauge coupling strength.

Questioning the Crown : English liberalism, Canadian settler colonialism, and sovereignty
Creators: name: Collie, James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Despite claims towards a process of reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, the Canadian state has made no attempt to reform its unilateral claim to sovereignty over the lands now known as Canada. This has direct consequences for any process of reconciliation, as it results in the Crown acting over Indigenous peoples, rather than with them. This thesis questions the Canadian state's liberal notions of state sovereignty, especially in relation to both colonization and the nation-to-nation relationship with Indigenous peoples. I start this research with a historical survey of the liberalism of John Locke and Thomas Hobbes, their conceptions of sovereignty, and the effects of this on colonization in Canada. These two writers discussed three similar principles of state sovereignty, which I define by: 1) the consent of the governed; 2) majority rule; 3) locating Indigenous political authority as outside the realm of sovereignty. I then take these principles and analyze their role in Confederation, and how they were institutionalized through the Canadian constitution. I then look towards Indigenous notions and critiques of sovereignty and how they interrupt the Crown’s claim to unilateral sovereignty. Ultimately, I argue that the conflicts between the Crown and Indigenous peoples have to do with a clash of the first and third principles; Indigenous peoples never consented to unilateral Crown sovereignty, and it is now assumed over them through the third principle. I show how this necessitates a refusal of the Crown’s unilateral claim to sovereignty, and the institutions that this idea created, namely the Canadian constitution.

Still ‘fire in the (full) belly’? Anti-establishment rhetoric before and after government participation

description: Scholars argued that anti-establishment parties use a populist rhetoric that appeals to the worst instincts of people. Indeed, populist politicians are often viewed as charismatic leaders that have fire in their belly. While in the past these parties heavily relied on anti-establishment platforms and communication rhetoric, their increasing electoral success along with the growing duties linked with government membership transform them into more established parties, rather than pure outsiders, and cast doubts on the feasibility of keeping a populist rhetoric. This paper compares right-wing and non-right-wing populism, investigating whether populist leaders change their rhetorical strategy once in office, decreasing the level of negativity and adopting a more forward-looking and inclusive style of communication, with a stronger focus on fulfilling the policy proposal made during the electoral campaign rather than blaming political rivals. For this purpose, we collected a new corpus of political speeches extracted from video messages posted on Facebook by four anti-establishment party leaders in three countries (Austria, Italy and Spain), from 2016 to 2018, i.e., immediately before and immediately after their access to power. Overall, 30 h of recorded audio from 215 videos (amounting to around 140 million visualizations) have been analyzed using topic models and well-established semantic psycholinguistic dictionaries. The results highlight slight changes in the rhetoric of populist leaders once in power, mostly for non-right-wing populists, as their language becomes less negative, less assertive and more focused on government duties.

description: A new exclusion limit for the electromagnetic production of a light U(1) gauge boson γ' decaying to e^+e^- was determined by the A1 Collaboration at the Mainz Microtron. Such light gauge bosons appear in several extensions of the standard model and are also discussed as candidates for the interaction of dark matter with standard model matter. In electron scattering from a heavy nucleus, the existing limits for a narrow state coupling to e^+e^- were reduced by nearly an order of magnitude in the range of the lepton pair mass of 210 MeV/c^2 < m_e^+e^- < 300 MeV/c^2. This experiment demonstrates the potential of high current and high resolution fixed target experiments for the search for physics beyond the standard model.

description: A two-dimensional strongly-coupled dusty plasma is modeled using Langevin and frictionless molecular dynamical simulations. The static viscosity $η$ and the wave-number-dependent viscosity $η(k)$ are calculated from the microscopic shear in the random motion of particles. A recently developed method of calculating the wave-number-dependent viscosity $η(k)$ is validated by comparing the results of $η(k)$ from the two simulations. It is also verified that the Green-Kubo relation can still yield an accurate measure of the static viscosity $η$ in the presence of a modest level of friction as in dusty plasma experiments.

description: Dendroclimatic reconstructions, which are a well-known tool for extending records of climatic variability, have recently been expanded by using wood anatomical parameters. However, the relationships between wood cellular structures and large-scale climatic patterns, such as El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), are still not completely understood, hindering the potential for wood anatomy as a paleoclimatic proxy. To better understand the teleconnection between regional and local climate processes in the western United States, our main objective was to assess the value of these emerging tree-ring parameters for reconstructing climate dynamics. Using Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy, we measured cell lumen diameter and cell wall thickness (CWT) for the period 1966 to 2015 in five Douglas-firs [Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco] from two sites in eastern Arizona (United States). Dendroclimatic analysis was performed using chronologies developed for 10 equally distributed sectors of the ring and daily climatic records to identify the strongest climatic signal for each sector. We found that lumen diameter in the first ring sector was sensitive to previous fall–winter temperature (September 25th to January 23rd), while a precipitation signal (October 27th to February 13th) persisted for the entire first half of the ring. The lack of synchronous patterns between trees for CWT prevented conducting meaningful climate-response analysis for that anatomical parameter. Time series of lumen diameter showed an anti-phase relationship with the Southern Oscillation Index (a proxy for ENSO) at 10 to 14year periodicity and particularly in 1980–2005, suggesting that chronologies of wood anatomical parameters respond to multidecadal variability of regional climatic modes. Our findings demonstrate the potential of cell structural characteristics of southwestern United States conifers for reconstructing past climatic variability, while also improving our understanding of how large-scale ocean–atmosphere interactions impact local hydroclimatic patterns.
Non-Linear Compton Scattering of Ultrashort and Ultraintense Laser Pulses

description: The scattering of temporally shaped intense laser pulses off electrons is discussed by means of manifestly covariant quantum electrodynamics. We employ a framework based on Volkov states with a time dependent laser envelope in light-cone coordinates within the Furry picture. An expression for the cross section is constructed, which is independent of the considered pulse shape and pulse length. A broad distribution of scatted photons with a rich pattern of subpeaks like that obtained in Thomson scattering is found. These broad peaks may overlap at sufficiently high laser intensity, rendering inappropriate the notion of individual harmonics. The limit of monochromatic plane waves as well as the classical limit of Thomson scattering are discussed. As a main result, a scaling law is presented connecting the Thomson limit with the general result for arbitrary kinematics. In the overlapping regions of the spectral density, the classical and quantum calculations give different results, even in the Thomson limit. Thus, a phase space region is identified where the differential photon distribution is strongly modified by quantum effects.

description: This study explores populism in terms of communication while distinguishing between its ideological and stylistic dimensions. We examine the social media communication of the three main Italian political leaders during the last national electoral campaign to underline the differences and similarities in their use of populist communication in terms of ideology and style and assess how it affects Facebook and Twitter engagement. Our analysis shows that the three leaders all adopt populist communication styles but in slightly different ways. In all cases, populist style elements have a stronger impact on online engagement than populist ideology. The main difference between social media seems to be related less to the leaders’ communication elements than to their platform-specific audiences’ positive reactions to populist communication strategies.

description: We compute the quiver of any monoid that has a basic algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. More generally, we reduce the computation of the quiver over a splitting field of a class of monoids that we term rectangular monoids (in the semigroup theory literature the class is known as $\mathbf{DO}$) to representation theoretic computations for group algebras of maximal subgroups. Hence in good characteristic for the maximal subgroups, this gives an essentially complete computation. Since groups are examples of rectangular monoids, we cannot hope to do better than this. For the subclass of $\mathscr R$-trivial monoids, we also provide a semigroup theoretic description of the projective indecomposables and compute the Cartan matrix.
description: Minor corrections and improvements to exposition were made. Some theorem statements were simplified. Also we made a language change. Several of our results are more naturally expressed using the language of Karoubi envelopes and irreducible morphisms. There are no substantial changes in actual results

description: Halophilic bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa gi|KP 16392| isolated from Sambhar salt lake in the southwest region of the city of Jaipur, India was tested for the first time for potential application in waste engine oil bioremediation and simultaneous biosurfactant production. In this study, the batch experiments were performed on culture grown in mineral salt medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) waste engine oil as the sole carbon source incubated for a week at pH 7.0, maintaining 35 °C and 150 rpm. The bacterial growth was monitored by the optical density and dry biomass content measurements. The biosurfactant production was affirmed with the reduction in surface tension of the culture medium from 72 ± 0.36 to 29.61 ± 0.14 mN/m. Of the total waste engine oil fed, 74.35 ± 0.037% was consumed and biodegraded to secondary metabolites. The biosurfactant yield was found to be approximately 1.02 g/L. The functional groups in the product, identified with the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirms to be rhamnolipid and characterized using microbial adhesion to hydrocarbon (math) test and methyl assay. The emulsification activity of the produced biosurfactant was assessed for various hydrophobic substrates and was found to be comparable to the chemical surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate). The biosynthetic pathway (de novo synthesis) used by microbial strain to form rhamnolipid is schematically represented. The performance of the purified biosurfactant in oil recovery application was tested using a simulated waste engine oil contaminated soil and it showed excellent surface activity.

description: It was recently realized that matter modeled by the scalar field sector of the Lee-Wick Standard Model yields, in the context of a homogeneous and isotropic cosmological background, a bouncing cosmology. However, bouncing cosmologies induced by pressure-less matter are in general unstable to the addition of relativistic matter (i.e. radiation). Here we study the possibility of obtaining a bouncing cosmology if we add not only radiation, but also its Lee-Wick partner, to the matter sector. We find that, in general, no bounce occurs. The only way to obtain a bounce is to choose initial conditions with very special phases of the radiation field and its Lee-Wick partner.

description: We study neural connectivity in cultures of rat hippocampal neurons. We measure the neurons' response to an electric stimulation for gradual lower connectivity, and characterize the size of the giant cluster in the network. The connectivity undergoes a percolation transition described by the critical exponent $β\simeq 0.65$. We use a theoretic approach based on bond.percolation on a graph to describe the process of disintegration of the network and extract its statistical properties. Together with numerical simulations we show that the connectivity in the neural culture is local, characterized by a gaussian degree distribution and not a power law on

Year: 2019

description: Lo scopo di questo progetto è quello di proporre una soluzione di un macchinario standalone per testare le forze di inserzione ed estrazione di un connettore utilizzato nell’automotive. Un approfondito stato dell’arte ha permesso di identificare le migliori soluzioni tecnologiche per rispondere alle specifiche di progetto. Gli ingombri del macchinario sono contenuti in 308 x 308 x 550 mm, la struttura è interamente ostruita in profili Item. La movimentazione necessaria alla prova è effettuata mediante una vite a ricircolo di sfere rullata. L’attuazione è eseguita da un motore passo–passo collegato alla vite mediante un giunto elastico. Il pin è fissato sul macchinario grazie ad un mandrino autocentrante, mentre per garantire il preciso posizionamento del connettore è stato sviluppato un sistema di fissaggio e centraggio regolabile. La forza è misurata mediante l’utilizzo di una cella di carico a flessione. Il controllo viene effettuato con un microcontrollore Arduino: il feedback sulla posizione del motore è ottenuto con un encoder rotativo incrementale. Sono stati realizzati il layout dell’interfaccia utente e i programmi necessari al controllo. L’utente specifica le condizioni del test inserendo le velocità e la tipologia della prova in un programma Matlab, che comunica tramite una porta seriale con il microcontrollore. Il costo totale del prototipo del macchinario rientra nel budget previsto di 2000 CHF. Sono state predisposte e definite tutte le parti necessarie alla realizzazione di un prototipo ed è stato studiato e cablato l’intero circuito elettrico del sistema.

description: Una title sequence è un connubio di immagini, tipografia e musica, capace di rafforzare l’esperienza visiva, creare anticipazione e, nelle serie tv, legare gli episodi da un filo conduttore. In Skip Intro ho voluto indagare cosa sono le title sequences e come mai non riescono a catturare l’interesse del pubblico, e quindi, il motivo dell’intensificarsi della tendenza degli spettatori a ignorarne il contenuto. Questo mi ha condotto alla realizzazione del progetto dal nome “Before the End”, una miniserie di tre episodi, dove metto in pratica diversi approcci per la realizzazione di tre intro che vanno a contrastare questo fenomeno.
Self-managing with physical activity wearables : emerging ethical issues from the perspectives of persons living with arthritis
Creators: name: Leese, Jennifer
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Background: Using wearables to self-monitor physical activity is a promising approach to support self-management among persons with arthritis. Little is known, however, about ethical issues (benefits and downsides) that may be experienced by persons with arthritis when using a wearable. Better understanding of these experiences is needed if wearable technology is to be incorporated in arthritis self-management in ways that are ethically aware. Objective: To develop understanding of the perspectives of persons with arthritis on their use of a physical activity wearable in their everyday self-management. Methods: The thesis consists of 3 projects, involving: 1) a meta-synthesis of qualitative evidence that included an exhaustive search of 5 electronic databases and a thematic synthesis of eligible articles; 2) a secondary analysis of qualitative interviews with 21 participants with knee osteoarthritis, following their use of a wearable as part of a physical activity counselling intervention study involving a physiotherapist (PT); 3) a social constructivist application of grounded theory to conduct and analyze qualitative interviews with 14 participants with rheumatoid arthritis, following their use of a wearable as part of a physical activity counselling intervention study involving a PT. Each project draws on a relational ethics lens to explore benefits and downsides identified in participants’ perspectives. Findings: Across projects, participants conveyed 1) how using a wearable expanded and/or challenged their capability of making autonomous choices to be more physically active or not; 2) how using a wearable enhanced and/or threatened to undermine mutual trustworthiness in their relationship with the PT; 3) how using a wearable helped or challenged them in preserving a valued sense of self, in which independence and productivity play a role. Using a relational ethics lens drew attention to how participants’ experiences intertwined with desires to maintain a positive moral identity shaped by the context in which they live. Conclusions: The thesis contributes empirical evidence of relational ethics issues to sparse literature on how persons with arthritis experience using a physical activity wearable positively and/or negatively. It brings to light salient ethical issues pertaining to relational autonomy experienced in participants’ relationships with themselves and health professionals when using a wearable.
