description: R-modes of a rotating neutron star are unstable because of the emission of gravitational radiation. We explore the saturation amplitudes of these modes determined by nonlinear mode-mode coupling. Modelling the star as incompressible allows the analytic computation of the coupling coefficients. All couplings up to n=30 are obtained, and analytic values for the shear damping and mode normalization are presented. In a subsequent paper we perform numerical simulations of a large set of coupled modes.

The administration of hunger : colonialism, biopolitics and the Great Irish Famine, 1845-1852
Creators: name: Nally, David Patrick
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Seasonal hunger and "partial famines" were common occurrences in nineteenth-century Ireland, but the Great Irish Famine (c.1845-1852) was sudden, stark and devastating. The immediate trigger was the appearance of a mysterious blight causing the widespread failure of the potato harvest. In a relatively short period of time almost one eighth of the population perished, while two million Irish ploughed the seas searching for new homes and new beginnings. This dissertation aims to resituate the Famine within a nexus of political violence. This nexus was forged through a history of capitalist-colonial relations with Britain and later through a series of biopolitical ’experiments’ that brought Irish life increasingly into the realm of state power. Earlier modes of conquest and colonisation [i.e. colonization] were gradually superseded by a powerful ideology of reform and ’amelioration,’ which ultimately legitimised a series of state-led interventions in Ireland. Threading this historical narrative are three important famine landscapes. Firstly, I examine how discourse produces and sustains profound fractures between ruler and ruled--the satiated and the emaciated--and how this mobilises [i.e. mobilizes] specific government interventions ostensibly to support those deemed incapable of helping themselves. Secondly, I analyse the evolution of a series of institutional landscapes that extended and deepened the administrative arm of the state and ultimately played a significant role in operationalising [i.e. operationalizing] various modalities of relief during the eighteen-forties. Thirdly, I focus on a series of politico juridical acts that produce the figure of homo sacer--a radically depotentiated form of life that may be improved out of existence or destroyed with little compunction. Together these ’faminescapes’ manifest (and mystify) the economic relations of production, modalities of representation, and regimes of power that constitute the horror of mass starvation. An historico-political understanding of these processes is essential to challenging claims that naturalise famine. I conclude that famine mortality occurred inside a sophisticated apparatus of care and direction: aid was controlled, relief structures were operationalised, institutions were built, bodies were managed, laws were sanctioned, and ideologies were mobilised. Important too is the knowledge that famine was used as an engine of historical transformation, a practice that is still relevant to many of today’s so-called ’natural disasters.’

description: The paper raises the problem of the spread of African swine fever (ASF) in Podlaskie region. The first case of ASF was recorded in mid-February 201 and by the end of June 2015 recorded 111 cases of the disease in wild pigs and three places in the case of swine. The spread of the disease contributed to the initial drastically reduce hunting. Delayed action taken depopulation is not producing results and a significant part of the cost of combating the disease among wild pigs was transferred to the hunters. Bioassurance actions taken in farms are radical in nature and largely increase production costs. Moreover, almost half the population of pigs in the area covered bioassurance will be subject to liquidation and the vast majority of farmers do not receive compensation under this head. Although the action taken, implemented mainly at the expense of farmers, halt the spread of cases of ASF in farms is the lack of adequate measures in case of wild pigs, does not bring the epidemic restrictions which may result in the spread of the epidemic on a larger area and can endanger the pig farms throughout the country.

description: Analysis of the volume of outlays and effectiveness of the production factors– land, labour and fixed assets depending on the volume of surface area changes of farms constitutes the basic purpose of this article. The selection of farms for the studies was purposeful, the farms covered by the studies had to fulfil two criteria simultaneously, that is to make use of soft loans and to run uninterruptedly the FADN accountancy in the years 2004-2011. In the former Bydgoszcz Province there were 156 farms fulfilling these criteria. From the conducted studies it results, that both the volume of land, labour and fixed assets’ outlays as well as effectiveness of farms depended on the volume of the surface area’s changes. Farms which have increased their area as compared to farms which have not changed their area, has smaller land and labour outlays per unit of production. Also the economical results were considerably higher at these farms. In the years 2004-2011 the highest income’s increase was at farms in which the increase of area was the highest (group VI). The most profitable income situation of farms which have increased their area to the highest degree, is the result of both the increase of the scale of production as well as the improvement of production factors’ effectiveness.

description: We present high-precision VI photometry of stars from the middle of the giant branch to about 5 magnitudes below the main-sequence turnoff in the globular cluster Palomar 13 based on images obtained with the Keck II 10m telescope. We tabulate a complete sample of blue stragglers in the cluster out to about 18 core radii. The blue straggler population is significantly more centrally concentrated than the giant star sample, which is in turn significantly more centrally concentrated than the main-sequence star sample. Palomar 13 has one of the highest specific frequencies of blue stragglers of any known globular cluster, but the specific frequency of blue stragglers in the outskirts of the cluster does not increase as has been seen in denser clusters. We also identify a group of faint blue stragglers (bluer than the turnoff, but having about the same magnitude) that outnumbers the brighter stragglers by more than a factor of 2. The cluster's color-magnitude diagram shows a large excess of stars to the red of the main sequence, indicating that the cluster's binary fraction is at least 30% +/- 4%, which appears to be similar to that of the low-mass cluster E3 but significantly higher than that of the more massive clusters Pal 5 and NGC 288.

description: We study the quantum mechanical behavior of a macroscopic, three-body, superconducting circuit. Microwave spectroscopy on our system, a resonator coupling two large Josephson junctions, produced complex energy spectra well explained by quantum theory over a large frequency range. By tuning each junction separately into resonance with the resonator, we first observe strong coupling between each junction and the resonator. Bringing both junctions together into resonance with the resonator, we find spectroscopic evidence for entanglement between all three degrees of freedom and suggest a new method for controllable coupling of distant qubits, a key step toward quantum computation.

title: The Role of Antibodies to Plasmodium falciparum Merozoite Antigens in the Resistance of Young Infants to Febrile Malaria and Their Place as a Biomarker in the Detection of Malaria Transmission Hotspots
Creators: name: Kangoye, Tiga David
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2017

description: Over the last 15 years the malaria burden has globally declined, but not evenly across endemic areas. In areas with substantial decline, elimination became realistic. However, malaria elimination has to, in a cost-effective way, overcome problems such as increasing drug and insecticide resistance and the increasing heterogeneity in transmission as the transmission intensity declines. Vaccines are proven cost-effective tools in infectious disease control and substantial progress was made with the RTS, S vaccine. However, vaccine development is hampered by the lack of reliable immune correlates of protection. We have analysed antibody responses in relation to the incidence of febrile malaria in young children, with the specific objective of investigating their contribution to the apparent resistance of young infants to febrile malaria. We have also analysed the dynamics of antibodies in relation to previously established protective thresholds. We found that the antibody responses to 6 different falciparum antigens were not associated with protection against febrile malaria in young children and that their levels were consistently below the protective thresholds. Furthermore, we found that antibody titres were often actually associated with increasing risk of febrile malaria. A likely explanation is that the antibodies were markers of exposure and hence associated with higher risk. We therefore analysed geo-spatial data on malaria risk to identify hotspots of clinical malaria and their association with hotspots of serological responses to malaria antigens. We found that 1) antibody responses correlated well with asymptomatic parasitaemia detected by polymerase chain reaction, and 2) there was substantial overlapping between the hotspots detected using these markers. Our data suggest that other mechanisms are responsible for the apparent resistance of infants to febrile malaria. Moreover, our data suggest that serology or polymerase chain reaction results may be used as markers for the detection of hotspots when the transmission declines to very low levels.

In particular it was shown that the BCS theory of d-wave superconductivity describes semi-quantitatively the high-Tc superconductivity. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that Volovik's approach is extremely useful for finding the quasiparticle properties in the vortex state. Here we survey these developments and forecast future directions.

description: Quantum computations promise the ability to solve problems intractable in the classical setting. Restricting the types of computations considered often allows to establish a provable theoretical advantage by quantum computations, and later demonstrate it experimentally. In this paper, we consider space-restricted computations, where input is a read-only memory and only one (qu)bit can be computed on. We show that $n$-bit symmetric Boolean functions can be implemented exactly through the use of quantum signal processing as restricted space quantum computations using $O(n^2)$ gates, but some of them may only be evaluated with probability $1/2 + O(n/\sqrt{2}^n)$ by analogously defined classical computations. We experimentally demonstrate computations of $3$-, $4$-, $5$-, and $6$-bit symmetric Boolean functions by quantum circuits, leveraging custom two-qubit gates, with algorithmic success probability exceeding the best possible classically. This establishes and experimentally verifies a different kind of quantum advantage -- one where quantum scrap space is more valuable than analogous classical space -- and calls for an in-depth exploration of space-time tradeoffs in quantum circuits.

description: We establish sharp geometric Holder regularity estimates for Gradient for bounded solutions of a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations with non-homogeneous degeneracy. Such regularity estimates simplify and generalize, to some extent, earlier ones via a totally different modus operandi. Our approach is based on geometric tangential methods and makes use of a refined oscillation mechanism combined with compactness and scaling techniques. In the end, we present some connections of our findings with a variety of nonlinear geometric free boundary problems and relevant nonlinear problems in the theory of elliptic PDEs, which may have their own interest. We also deliver explicit examples where our results are sharp.

Highly nonclassical phonon emission statistics through two-phonon loss of van der Pol oscillator

description: The ability to produce nonclassical wave in a system is essential for advances in quantum communication and computation. Here, we propose a scheme to generate highly nonclassical phonon emission statistics -- antibunched wave in a quantum van der Pol (vdP) oscillator subject to an external driving, both single- and two-phonon losses. It is found that phonon antibunching depends significantly on the nonlinear two-phonon loss of the vdP oscillator, where the degree of the antibunching increases monotonically with the two-phonon loss and the distinguished parameter regimes with optimal antibunching and single-phonon emission are identified clearly. In addition, we give an in-depth insight into strong antibunching in the emitted phonon statistics by analytical calculations using a three-oscillator-level model, which agree well with the full numerical simulations employing a master-equation approach and a Schrodinger-equation approach at weak driving. In turn, the fluorescence phonon emission spectra of the vdP oscillator, given by the power spectral density, are also evaluated. We further show that high phonon emission amplitudes, simultaneously accompanied by strong phonon antibunching, are attainable in the vdP system, which are beneficial to the correlation measurement in practical experiments. Our approach only requires a single vdP oscillator, without the need for reconfiguring the two coupled nonlinear resonators or the complex nanophotonic structures as compared to the previous unconventional blockade schemes. The present scheme could inspire methods to achieve antibunching in other systems.

description: We investigate Andreev reflection (AR) resonant tunneling through a precessing spin which is coupled to a normal metallic lead and a superconducting lead. The formula of the AR conductance at zero temperature is obtained as a function of chemical potential and azimuthal angle of the spin precessing by using the nonequilibrium Green function method. It is found that as the local spin precesses in a weak external magnetic field at Larmor frequency $ω_l$, the AR tunneling conductance exhibits an oscillation at the frequency $2ω_l$ alone. The amplitude of AR conductance oscillation enhances with spin-flip tunneling coupling increasing. The study also shows that spin-orbit interaction in tunneling barriers is crucial for the oscillations of AR conductance. The effect of spin-flip tunneling coupling caused by spin-orbit interaction and local spin precessing on resonant behavior of the AR conductance are examined.

Nature discipline : the practice of wilderness therapy at Camp E-Wen-Akee
Creators: name: Dunkley, Cheryl Morse
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Wilderness therapy, the practice of sending troubled young people into nature in order to re-socialize them, poses a paradox. Time spent in wilderness is imagined to produce civilizing effects on young people, rendering them better prepared to live responsible and productive lives in society. Study of wilderness therapy, therefore, provides insight into constructions of youth and nature in contemporary American society. This thesis emerges from ethnographic research conducted at Camp E-Wen-Akee, a therapeutic camping program for troubled youth, in Benson, Vermont, USA. In addition to living with the three groups of campers in their rustic camp sites and engaging in camp activities, I facilitated two camper-run research projects, and interviewed camp staff members, and the state social workers responsible for sending adjudicated youth to residential programs. I find that camp life is an achievement of many heterogeneous actors, some of whom are human and others nonhuman. The resulting work is an ethnography of a nature-culture, wherein I describe how the camp mobilizes various resources to create the conditions for therapeutic change. The differing nature narratives of campers and the adults indicated that expectations for nature are at least in part, outcomes of class processes. Close attention to camp life shows that therapy is a social strategy brought into being at a number of scales: the material body, built and temporal architectures, landscape, and 'public' wilderness outside of camp's borders. I find at each scale a tension between the ordering tactics deployed by camp staff members and resistance posed by campers and 'nature' alike. Campers' identities are meant to change as a result o f repeated performances of prosocial behavior, and the on-going circulation of success stories. Together these practices underscore that what one person does always has effects on others. The irony uncovered i n this research is that while troubled youth are sent to a nature imagined as separate from society, Camp E-Wen-Akee provides young people with an ecological model for social life. Wilderness therapy is the outcome not of a separation between nature and society, but of ongoing relations between the two.

Phylogenetic analysis of all HERV-K (HML-2) possessing LTR sequences (provirus insertions that contained two LTRs only the 5′LTR was selected for alignment, if the 5′LTR was truncated, the 3′LTR was used). The tree was constructed by the neighbor-joining method using 5,000 bootstraps and the pair-wise deletion option. The NJ tree was well-clustered and annotated by the estimated age of every locus, the subtype of LTR (LTR5_Hs, LTR5A, and LTR5B), polymorphic insertion loci, the ability to be detected by PTESHK, and the CPM value. The results show good detection of known HERV-K (HML-2) loci, especially the LTR5_Hs type, which clustered within the longest internal branches and shortest terminal branches.

description: This thesis presents the investigation of a new process to produce biokerosene from Fischer-Tropsch biowaxes. Wood chips were converted in the Fischer-Tropsch test-facility Güssing (Austria) to biowaxes and further converted via hydroprocessing and catalytic cracking at CPERI/CERTH research institute (Thessaloniki). Two types of biowaxes were explored that consisted almost entirely of linear paraffin. These two feedstocks differed in their melting points, one was about 95°C and the other about 132°C. The wax with the lower melting point was used as a feedstock for the catalytic cracking process in a lab scale automated fixed bed unit. The catalytic cracking process was performed to investigate the conversion of the Fischer-Tropsch biowaxes with conventional zeolite based catalysts. The heavy melting wax was used in the hydrodesulfurisation pilot plant unit for the hydroprocessing experiments. For the hydroprocessing procedure, nickel molybdenum and a dewaxing catalyst were used. In addition, a parameter variation was conducted to determine the optimal parameters for the biokerosene production. These experiments were one of the first attempts to convert Fischer-Tropsch biowaxes to biokerosene.

description: Label-free imaging approaches seek to simplify and augment histopathologic assessment by replacing the current practice of staining by dyes to visualize tissue morphology with quantitative optical measurements. Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) operates with visible/UV light and thus provides a resolution matched to current practice. Here we introduce and demonstrate confocal QPI for label-free imaging of tissue sections and assess its utility for manual histopathologic inspection. Imaging cancerous and normal adjacent human breast and prostate, we show that tissue structural organization can be resolved with high spatial detail comparable to conventional H&E stains. Our confocal QPI images are found to be free of halo, solving this common problem in QPI. We further describe and apply a virtual imaging system based on Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) calculations to quantitatively compare confocal with wide-field QPI methods and explore performance limits using numerical tissue phantoms.

description: Additional file 6: Fig. S4. Verification of polymorphic loci. Selected polymorphic loci detected by PTESHK were verified using specific primers (Additional file 5: Table S2) and separated on a 1.5% agarose gel. Primer pairs F1/R1 were used for the primary PCR performed as follows: 95 °C for 3 min; 30 cycles of 95 °C for 30 s, 52 °C for 30 s, 72 °C for 1 min per kb of the product, and a final extension step at 72 °C for 10 min. Primer pairs F2/R2 were used for the nested PCR, except 4 loci using 5LTR2 as one of the nested PCR primers (Additional file 5: Table S2). The PCR procedure was performed as follows: 95 °C for 3 min; 6 cycles of 95 °C for 30 s, 60 °C for 30 s, decreasing of 1 °C every cycle, 72 °C for 1 min per kb of the product; 30 cycles of 95 °C for 30 s, 58 °C for 30 s, 72 °C for 1 min per kb of the product, and a final extension step at 72 °C for 10 min. Among all 14 polymorphic loci, 12 loci could be verified, except for 12p12d and 6p21.32a, which may be caused by either their location in a repeat element or a provirus integration where the length of the products were too long to amplify. For 6p21.32b and 19p12b, the results were partly confirmed, as 6p21.32b of Y and 19p12b of W were not amplified. This may be caused by the difference in DNA or experimental error.

description: The aim of the research was to analyze and evaluate socio-vocational changes in agriculture in provincial cities in Poland and their functional areas. Analyses were based on materials taken from 1996, 2002 and 2010 Census of Agriculture. Research showed that in cities and their functional areas the dynamics of disorganization processes in a vocational sphere, including decrease in the percentage of agricultural families, in the number of farm managers, in the number of farms having their incomes from agriculture, was faster than on average in Poland. While those transitions were the most visible in provincial cities, they were easing off further from provincial cities.

description: The scale of mass generation for fermions (including neutrinos) and the scale for electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) can be bounded from above by the unitarity of scattering involving longitudinal weak gauge bosons or their corresponding would-be Goldstone bosons. Including the exact n-body phase space we analyze the 2 --> n ($n \geq 2$) processes for the fermion-(anti)fermion scattering into multiple gauge boson final states. Contrary to naive energy power counting, we demonstrate that as $n$ becomes large, the competition between an increasing energy factor and a phase-space suppression leads to a {\it strong new upper bound} on the scale of fermion mass generation at a finite value $n=n_s$, which is {\it independent of the EWSB scale,} $v = (\sqrt{2}G_F)^{-1/2}$. For quarks, leptons and Majorana neutrinos, the strongest 2 --> n limits range from about 3TeV to 130-170TeV (with $2\lesssim n_s \lesssim 24$), depending on the measured fermion masses. Strikingly, given the tiny neutrino masses as constrained by the neutrino oscillations, neutrinoless double-beta decays and astrophysical observations, the unitarity violation of $ν_Lν_L\to nW_L^a$ scattering actually occurs at a scale no higher than ~170 TeV. Implications for various mechanisms of neutrino mass generation are analyzed. On the other hand, for the 2 --> n pure Goldstone-boson scattering, we find that the decreasing phase space factor always dominates over the growing overall energy factor when $n$ becomes large, so that the best unitarity bound on the scale of EWSB remains at n=2.

description: Implications of the recent new measurements of $B\to K_1γ$ by Belle are examined. It is shown that the new branching ratio $\calB(B\to K_1(1270)γ)$ requires very large form factor compared to the theoretically predicted one. This is an opposite case to $B\to K^*γ$ where theory expected larger branching ratio. Possible origins of the discrepancy are discussed.

description: The aim of the study was to analyse selected aspects of environmental awareness of councilors in areas of natural value in the Lubelskie voivodeship. The study used data of the author’s studies implemented in 2013 under the project “Environmental conditions and factors of economic functions’ development in the areas of natural value of the Lubelskie voivodeship” funded by the National Science Centre. The study covered an area of 30 communes of the greatest natural value in the Lubelskie voivodeship according to the indicator developed by D. Guzal-Dec as a part of her study on natural value in rural and urban- -rural communes in the Lubelskie voivodship. Using a questionnaire survey, 383 councilors – 86% of the total – were subject to the research. Councillors from environmentally valuable communes showed their positive attitude towards the surrounding, especially valuable elements of nature, they, however, often had too low level of knowledge about protecting it.
Oxygen Abundances and Chemical Evolution in Low Surface Brightness Galaxies

description: We report the oxygen abundances of the HII regions of a sample of low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies. We provide analytic functions describing the McGaugh (1991) calibration of the R_23 method. We use this and the equivalent width (EW) method to determine oxygen abundances, and also make direct estimates in a few cases where the temperature sensitive [OIII] 4363 line is available. We find LSB galaxies to be metal poor, consistent with the L-Z relation of other galaxies. The large gas mass fractions of these objects provide an interesting test of chemical evolution models. We find no obvious deviation from the closed-box model of galactic chemical evolution. Based on our abundance and gas mass fraction measurements, we infer that LSB galaxies are not fundamentally different than other galaxy types but are perhaps at an early stage of evolution.

title: The Management Accounting Needs of Small Enterprises And the Role of Small Accounting Practices.
Creators: name: Tripathi, Vandana M.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2017

description: Management accounting research has previously focused mostly on large firms rather than SMEs despite the significance of SMEs in the UK economy. The high failure rate of small enterprises in the UK points to the need to increase their financial robustness. Small accounting practices (SAPs) would seem to provide a possible alternative source of management accounting information for businesses too small to afford in-house accountants, but the literature over thirty years suggests that this approach has not been adopted. The sparse research in this area has proposed disparate reasons for the limited use of SAPs, without providing a definitive explanation. The intractability of the barriers to the use of SAPs for the provision of management accounting information points to a mismatch between management accounting theory, which tends to be based on neo-classical economics, and the approach used in practice in small firms and SAPs. The research investigates these barriers, assessing the extent to which owner-managers carry out management accounting in small enterprises despite the opportunity costs involved and explores the reasons behind their tendency not to seek management accounting services from SAPs. It also evaluates the potential of SAPs to provide management accounting services and the reasons limiting their promotion. The research draws on a critical realist perspective using qualitative, multiple case studies involving semi-structured interviews to examine the degree to which neo-classical economic theory,old institutional economics and new institutional sociology can explain how the barriers have arisen and why they have remained. The findings expand existing research on management accounting by bringing into focus the interaction between actors and their structural context in small firms and SAPs, demonstrating how that shapes management accounting practices, particularly with regard to the barriers to the greater use of SAPs.
