“Art with poisonous honey stolen from France” : Oscar Wilde and Decadent imitations between England and France
Creators: name: Posthumus, Michaela
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: This thesis studies national conceptions of sexuality and the geo-politics of the Decadent movement in the writing and the literary afterlife of the Irish author and critic Oscar Wilde. In his only novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and his play Salomé, Wilde’s French influences are immediately apparent, but their purpose demands critique. I argue Wilde’s use of French Decadence functions as a code for types of art and sexuality that were not permissible to express in the social and legal environment of England in the late 19th century. French Decadence exemplified contrasting and complementary ideas of beauty and perversity which Wilde incorporated into his own writing. From his engagement with French Decadent art arose an idealised vision of Paris as a region where individuals may practice unconventional types of art and sexuality with greater freedom in comparison to the oppressive moral atmosphere of England. In Wilde’s works, modern Paris holds affinities with the Classical Mediterranean world not only through her literature, but through her law. After 1791, sodomy was no longer a criminal offense in France: this legal circumstance in combination with the unrestrained eroticism in French art produced a tempting fantasy of sexual tolerance in France at the fin-de-siècle.

description: Agelena Walckenaer, 1805 Agelena: Lehtinen 1967: 346; Zhu, Wang & Zhang 2017: 66. Type species: Araneus labyrinthicus Clerck, 1757 by original designation. Remarks: Agelena, with 48 valid species, is the largest genus in Agelenini. It is known from Africa, the Palaearctic and south Asia (India, Nepal and South-East Asia). Almost half of the species are known by one sex, or even juveniles (21♀, 2♂, 1 juv.). Judging by the shape of the copulatory organs, it seems that all species occurring outside of the Palaearctic, and some Palaearctic species, are misplaced in the genus. Below, we provide a diagnosis only for species which have male palps similar to that in the generotype: A. babai Tanikawa, 2005, A. chayu Zhang, Zhu & Song, 2005, A. cuspidata Zhang, Zhu & Song, 2005, A. labyrinthica (Clerck, 1757), A. limbata Thorell, 1897, A. orientalis C. L. Koch, 1837, and A. sylvatica Oliger, 1983. Diagnosis: Males of Agelena can be distinguished from other Agelenini by having a prolateral bulge on the bulb (embolic base extending the tegulum), which is lacking in other genera.

description: The dimensionality of turbulence in fluid layers determines their properties. We study electromagnetically driven flows in finite depth fluid layers and show that eddy viscosity, which appears as a result of three-dimensional motions, leads to increased bottom damping. The anomaly coefficient, which characterizes the deviation of damping from the one derived using a quasi-two-dimensional model, can be used as a measure of the flow dimensionality. Experiments in turbulent layers show that when the anomaly coefficient becomes high, the turbulent inverse energy cascade is suppressed. In the opposite limit turbulence can self-organize into a coherent flow.

description: We consider classical and quantum one and two-dimensional systems with ladder operators that satisfy generalized Heisenberg algebras. In the classical case, this construction is related to the existence of closed trajectories. In particular, we apply these results to the infinite well and Morse potentials. We discuss how the degeneracies of the permutation symmetry of quantum two-dimensional systems can be explained using products of ladder operators. These products satisfy interesting commutation relations. The two-dimensional Morse quantum system is also related to a generalized two-dimensional Morse supersymmetric model. Arithmetical or accidental degeneracies of such system are shown to be associated to additional supersymmetry.

description: The Ottoman Empire was the most religiously diverse empire in Europe and Asia. Macedonia, the southernmost Balkan regions and Asia Minor, which formed historically and in the minds of late Ottoman elites the territorial core of the empire, housed large groups of Christians and a significant number of Jews. Religious diversity characterized the core regions of the Islamic empire. Struck by an existential crisis beginning in the late 18th century, the Ottoman state undertook reforms, declared the equality of its subjects, willingly maintained its diversity and even institutionalised the cultural and religious autonomies which it had given its Christian and Jewish communities. When the Ottoman state failed to defend its territory and sovereignty, the Young Turk Committee of Union and Progress (CUP), the revolutionary rulers who gained power in a coup, finally decided on a program of national homogenization in Asia Minor which it carried out in 1914-1918. The CUP classified the Ottoman populations and dealt with them through resettlement, dispersion, expulsion and destruction – depending on the populations' assimilability into a Turko-Muslim nation in the Anatolian core. It judged the Muslims, in particular the Kurds, assimilable, but the Christian groups non-assimilable.

description: We consider Friedmann-Lema\^ıtre-Robertson-Walker flat cosmological models in the framework of general Jordan frame scalar-tensor theories of gravity with arbitrary coupling function and potential. For the era when the cosmological energy density of the scalar potential dominates over the energy density of ordinary matter, we use a nonlinear approximation of the decoupled scalar field equation for the regime close to the so-called limit of general relativity where the local weak field constraints are satisfied. We give the solutions in cosmological time with a particular attention to the classes of models asymptotically approaching general relativity. The latter can be subsumed under two types: (i) exponential convergence, and (ii) damped oscillations around general relativity. As an illustration we present an example of oscillating dark energy.

description: We numerically compute features in the power-spectrum that originate from the decay of fields during inflation. Using a simple, phenomenological, multi-field setup, we increase the number of fields from a few to thousands. Whenever a field decays, its associated potential energy is transferred into radiation, causing a jump in the equation of state parameter and mode mixing at the perturbed level. We observe discrete steps in the power-spectrum if the number of fields is low, in agreement with analytic arguments in the literature. These features become increasingly smeared out once many fields decay within a given Hubble time. In this regime we confirm the validity of the analytic approach to staggered inflation, which is based on a coarse-graining procedure. Our numerical approach bridges the aforementioned analytic treatments, and can be used in more complicated scenarios.

description: Lead Selenide (PbSe) is an attractive `IV-VI' semiconductor material to design optical sensors, lasers and thermoelectric devices. Improved fabrication of PbSe nanowires (NWs) enables the utilization of low dimensional quantum effects. The effect of cross-section size (W) and channel orientation on the bandstructure of PbSe NWs is studied using an 18 band $sp^3d^5$ tight-binding theory. The bandgap increases almost with the inverse of the W for all the orientations indicating a weak symmetry dependence. [111] and [110] NWs show higher ballistic conductance for the conduction and valence band compared to [100] NWs due to the significant splitting of the projected L-valleys in [100] NWs.

Remarks: The male of this species was first described by Levy (1996) who did not find any differences between it and A. livida (in both palpal and somatic characters). The palp of A. livida depicted by Levy (1996) differs from other illustrations available for this species (e.g. position of the embolic base, shape of the RTA, etc., cf. Figs. 4A and 4B), but we conclude this is because of differences in his illustrations rather than in the spiders, as no such palpal conformation was found in the extensive collections from Israel. Distribution: Syria, Israel, and Lebanon (?) (Fig. 15A). Despite being reported from Turkey in the World Spider Catalog (2020), the identifications of Turkish material by Brignoli (1978) refer to A. gideoni (per Levy 1996). The records of this species from Lebanon could refer to A. livida (per Levy 1996).

Biomass/fossil fuel co-gasification with and without integrated CO2 capture
Creators: name: Masnadi-Shirazi, Mohammad Sadegh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Biomass/fossil fuel co-gasification could be a bridge between energy production based on fossil fuels and energy production based on renewable fuels. In this work, CO₂ co-gasification of switchgrass with coal and fluid coke was conducted in a thermogravimetric analyzer at 800°C. Coal gasification kinetics were inhibited or enhanced, depending on the switchgrass concentration in the mixture: for low K/Al and K/Si molar ratios in the mixture, it seemed that the coal ash sequestrated the biomass potassium needed for Kalsilite (KAlSiO4) formation, and thus, no catalytic effect was observed until the biomass to coal mass ratio reached 3:1, where the switchgrass ash supplied enough potassium to more than satisfy the minerals in the coal ash. For high K/Al and K/Si molar ratios in the mixture, the non-reacted residual potassium acted as catalyst and enhanced the coal gasification. The fluid coke contained much lower Al and Si relative to the coal. Hence, the CO₂ gasification kinetics of fluid coke were significantly augmented by blending it with switchgrass, due to the rich presence of potassium in the biomass. A low-ash coal and switchgrass rich in potassium were selected to steam gasify it as a single-fuel and in 50:50 wt% coal:switchgrass mixtures in a pilot scale fluidized bed with silica sand as the bed material at ~ 800 and 860°C and 1 atm. With biomass added to the coal, the hydrogen and cold gas efficiencies, gas yield and HHV of the product gas were enhanced relative to single-fuel gasification. The product gas tar yield was also reduced considerably due to decomposition of tar catalyzed by switchgrass alkali and alkaline earth metals. In the quest for a more sustainable process, coal/switchgrass steam co-gasification was integrated with in-site CO2 capture with limestone. Five gasification/carbonation and calcination cycles were performed in a pilot scale fluidized bed. Hydrogen production was enhanced due to partial adsorption of CO₂ by the CaO sorbent particles (bed material). The sorbent particles decayed and lost their utilization efficiency in the course of cycling due to sintering. A simple equilibrium model and an empirically kinetically-modified equilibrium model were also presented to predict syngas composition.

description: We studied the Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) radio emission from a compilation of hard X-ray selected samples, all observed in the 1.4 GHz band. A total of more than 1600 AGN with 2-10 keV de-absorbed luminosities higher than 10^42 erg/s were used. For a sub-sample of about 50 z\lsim 0.1 AGN it was possible to reach a ~80% fraction of radio detections and therefore, for the first time, it was possible to almost completely measure the probability distribution function of the ratio between the radio and the X-ray luminosity Rx=log[L(1.4)/Lx]. The probability distribution function of Rx was functionally fitted as dependent on the X-ray luminosity and redshift, P(Rx|Lx,z). It roughly spans over 6 decades (-7

Towards a time-lapse prediction system for cricket matches

description: Cricket is a popular sport played in over a hundred countries, is the second most watched sport in the world after soccer, and enjoys a multi-million dollar industry. There is tremendous interest in simulating cricket and more importantly in predicting the outcome of games, particularly in their one-day international format. The complex rules governing the game, along with the numerous natural phenomena affecting the outcome of a cricket match present significant challenges for accurate prediction. Multiple diverse parameters, including but not limited to cricketing skills and performances, match venues and even weather conditions can significantly affect the outcome of a game. The sheer number of parameters, along with their interdependence and variance create a non-trivial challenge to create an accurate quantitative model of a game. Unlike other sports such as basketball and baseball which are well researched from a sports analytics perspective, for cricket, these tasks have yet to be investigated in depth. The goal of this work is to predict the game progression and winner of a yet-to-begin or an ongoing game. The game is modeled using a subset of match parameters, using a combination of linear regression and nearest-neighbor classification-aided attribute bagging algorithm. The prediction system takes in historical match data as well as the instantaneous state of a match, and predicts the score at key points in the future, culminating in a prediction of victory or loss. Runs scored at the end of an innings, the key factor in determining the winner, are predicted at various points in the game. Our experiments based on actual cricket game data, shows that our method predicts the winner with an accuracy of approximately 70%.

description: Mehmed Cavid Bey was born in Thessaloniki to a Sabbatean (''dönme'') family in either 1878 or 1879. After studying in his hometown, he moved to Istanbul and worked in the education ministry. Prior to the 1908 Constitutional Revolution, he was a teacher and published economic treatises. During the revolution he became known as a liberal supporter of the Committee of Union and Progress. He served as a member of the Ottoman parliament from 1908 to 1917 and as the minister of finance (1909–1911, 1914, 1917–1918). In 1926 he was arrested and sentenced to death during the Independence Tribunals of the Turkish Republic for plotting a coup and attempting to assassinate the Turkish president, Mustafa Kemal (1881-1938).

Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The methods of statistical mechanics are applied to two-dimensional foams under macroscopic agitation. A new variable -- the total cell curvature -- is introduced, which plays the role of energy in conventional statistical thermodynamics. The probability distribution of the number of sides for a cell of given area is derived. This expression allows to correlate the distribution of sides ("topological disorder") to the distribution of sizes ("geometrical disorder") in a foam. The model predictions agree well with available experimental data.

Agelescape sp.: Guseinov, Marusik & Koponen 2005: 159, figs. 22–25 (♂). Agelescape talyshica Guseinov, Marusik & Koponen 2005: 158, figs. 13–16 (♀), syn. n. Material examined: IRAN: Tehran Province: 4♂ 10♀ (ZMMU), 5 km N of Tehran, Tochal Mountains, 35°53′N 51°20′E, 2000–2900 m, 16 June 2000 (Y. M. Marusik, F. Mozaffarian, R. Bahramishad); 2♂ 1♀ (ZMMU), E of Tehran, Ab-Ali, 35°46′N 51°57′E, 02 June 2000 (Y. M. Marusik). Diagnosis: Males of P. levyi differ from congeners by the short, claw-like embolus (v. spine- or stick-like embolus) (Figs. 6C, 7B, 9F). Females of P. levyi are most similar to those of P. gideoni due to the subdivided scape, but differ by having a smaller fovea that is 2× wider than the scape (v. 2.5× wider than the scape) (Figs. 12 A–G). Description: Described by Guseinov, Marusik & Koponen (2005). Remarks: Persiscape levyi was described on the basis of the male holotype from north-central Azerbaijan (sub Agelescape), and A. talyshica was described based on female specimens collected in southeastern Azerbaijan. Recently, Iranian material containing both sexes revealed that these names require synonymization. Strangely, in the same paper that the description of Agelescape levyi was provided, other specimens collected in Iran were identified as Agelescape sp.; as these specimens are identical to the type series of A. levyi from Azerbaijan, they are identified as such herein. Distribution: central-northern Azerbaijan to northern Iran (first record) (Fig. 15B).

description: Integrated optics provides an ideal test bed for the emulation of quantum systems via continuous-time quantum walks. Here we study the evolution of two-photon states in an elliptic array of waveguides. We characterise the photonic chip via coherent-light tomography and use the results to predict distinct differences between temporally indistinguishable and distinguishable two-photon inputs which we then compare with experimental observations. Our work highlights the feasibility for emulation of coherent quantum phenomena in three-dimensional waveguide structures.

description: We examine the recoil velocity induced by the superposition of the magnetic dipole and quadrupole radiation from a pulsar/magnetar born with rapid rotation. The resultant velocity depends on not the magnitude, but rather the ratio of the two moments and their geometrical configuration. The model does not necessarily lead to high spatial velocity for a magnetar with a strong magnetic field, which is consistent with the recent observational upper bound. The maximum velocity predicted with this model is slightly smaller than that of observed fast-moving pulsars.

Spatial models of plant species richness for British Columbia's Garry oak meadow ecosystem
Creators: name: Boag, Angela Elaine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Garry oak meadow ecosystems in British Columbia are fragmented, increasingly degraded, and have been prioritized for conservation. While distribution maps of remnant meadow patches have been developed, the ecological integrity of plant communities in many of these remnants remains unknown. Modeling and mapping ecological integrity could inform conservation prioritization exercises in the region. The primary goal of this thesis was to develop distribution models of native and exotic plant species richness in Garry oak meadow remnants. Secondly, multiple independent datasets were used to analyze the effects of sample size and sampling bias on the accuracy and reliability of resulting predictive maps, which is an active area of research in species distribution modeling. Finally, I investigated whether Terrestrial Ecosystem Mapping (TEM) – a publicly available GIS layer of plant community associations – provided a valid geographical extent over which to map predictions. In Chapter 2, different datasets were found to produce different models of species richness. However, different native richness models produced similar distribution maps, while exotic richness maps based on different datasets were less similar. The incorporation of spatial variables into models did not improve model fit, however significant residual spatial autocorrelation at a broad scale was detected in some cases, suggesting that an important environmental covariate is missing from these models. Examples of potential missing covariates include deer density and disturbance history. Overall, this research demonstrates that multiple independent datasets are very important iii for validating species distribution models, especially in heterogeneous landscapes. Additionally, large sample sizes and sampling broadly across of the area of prediction result in more robust models. The results presented in Chapter 3 suggest that mapping predictions exclusively over Garry oak ecosystem-classified TEM polygons is potentially overly conservative, as species richness of native meadow species was found to be high in other TEM classifications as well. This suggests that Garry oak meadow plant communities do not exist solely in discreet meadow patches, and that they are dispersed throughout other habitat types including Douglas-fir – salal forests.

description: We study the Rayleigh scattering induced by a diamond nanocrystal in a whispering-gallery-microcavity--waveguide coupling system, and find that it plays a significant role in the photon transportation. On one hand, this study provides a new insight into future solid-state cavity quantum electrodynamics toward strong coupling physics. On the other hand, benefitting from this Rayleigh scattering, novel photon transportation such as dipole induced transparency and strong photon antibunching can occur simultaneously. As potential applications, this system can function as high-efficiency photon turnstiles. In contrast to [B. Dayan \textit{et al.}, \textrm{Science} \textbf{319},1062 (2008)], the photon turnstiles proposed here are highly immune to nanocrystal's azimuthal position.
