description: Workers who use computers on the job receive higher wages, reflecting com- puter-specific skills as well as broader skills. Even after taking into account differences in personal and job characteristics, industry, and occupational skill levels, there is still a 10-percent premium for use of a computer on the job. This accounts for a small portion of the metro-nonmetro wage gap, since computer use is more common in metro areas. The payoff to using a comput- er on the job is higher for college graduates and for workers with more experi- ence, suggesting that computer skills may be of limited use to those who are otherwise disadvantaged in the labor market. Furthermore, this premium is only about 5 percent in nonmetro areas, while it is more than 12 percent in metro areas, suggesting that computer training will be of limited benefit to rural residents unless they are prepared to move to urban areas.
Analysis of the properties of phospholipid bilayers for drug delivery using solid-state NMR
Creators: name: Rowlands, Lucy Jayne
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Phospholipid bilayers have many uses throughout science and engineering, and spherical forms of lipid bilayers called liposomes have led the field of nano drug delivery for many years. Their exact nature can be complex and dependent on a variety of different conditions, and therefore they can face more difficulties entering the clinic. For this reason, understanding how these membranes behave is of crucial importance and of great interest to researchers in academia and industry. In this thesis the aim is to demonstrate methods in which solid-state NMR can be used as a technique in conjunction with others to be able to gain further knowledge of their properties. As part of this an aptamer liposome was developed, and the impact of PEGylated lipids on the formulation were examined. This formulation was then further investigated using X-Ray scattering and solid-state NMR, to demonstrate how the PEG chains and surface aptamer interacted. This section of the thesis shows how important an understanding of how surface moieties are interacting is in drug delivery. Following this, two more general methods to understand structures are shown. 17O-NMR spectroscopy is used to understand the hydrogen bonding of cholesterol in lipid bilayers, and the potential of lanthanide NMR as a tool to investigate lipid bilayers was demonstrated on pharmaceutically relevant lipid structures. This thesis demonstrates the applicability of solid-state NMR to drug delivery liposomes using commonly used techniques and some that are less well known to enable better understanding of lipid bilayers.

The Kugo-Ojima confinement criterion and the Infrared Behavior of Landau gauge QCD

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Recent investigations of the Dyson-Schwinger equations and Monte-Carlo lattice calculations resulted in a coherent description of the fully dressed gluon, ghost and quark propagators in Landau gauge QCD. In the Dyson-Schwinger approach the infrared behaviour of these propagators is determined analytically. For finite spacelike momenta the gluon, ghost and quark propagators are compared to available corresponding results of lattice Monte-Carlo calculations. For all three propagators an almost quantitative agreement is found. These results for the non-perturbative propagators allow an analytical verification of the Kugo-Ojima confinement criterion. Our numerical analysis clearly reveals positivity violation for the gluon propagator generated by a cut in the complex momentum plane. The non-perturbative strong running coupling resulting from these propagators possesses an infrared fixed point. The quark propagator obtained from quenched and unquenched calculations displays dynamical chiral symmetry breaking with quark masses close to ``phenomenological'' and lattice values. We confirm that linear extrapolations of the quark propagator for different bare masses to the chiral limit are inaccurate.

description: Effective spin-orbit (SO) Hamiltonians for conduction electrons in wurtzite heterostructures are lacking in the literature, in contrast to zincblende structures. Here we address this issue by deriving such an effective Hamiltonian valid for quantum wells, wires, and dots with arbitrary confining potentials and external magnetic fields. We start from an 8$\times$8 Kane model accounting for the $s$--$p_z$ orbital mixing important to wurtzite structures, but absent in zincblende, and apply both quasi-degenerate perturbation theory (Löwdin partitioning) and the folding down approach to derive an effective 2$\times$2 electron Hamiltonian. We obtain the usual $k$-linear Rashba term arising from the structural inversion asymmetry of the wells and, differently from zincblende structures, a bulk Rashba-type term induced by the inversion asymmetry of the wurtzite lattice. We also find linear- and cubic-in-momentum Dresselhaus contributions. Both the bulk Rashba-type term and the Dresselhaus terms originate exclusively from the admixture of $s$- and $p_z$-like states in wurtzites structures. Interestingly, in these systems the linear Rashba and the Dresselhaus terms have the same symmetry and can in principle cancel each other out completely, thus making the spin a conserved quantity. We determine the intrasubband (intersubband) Rashba $α_ν$ ($η$) and linear Dresselhaus $β_ν$ ($Γ$) SO strengths of GaN/AlGaN single and double wells with one and two occupied subbands ($ν=1,2$). We believe our general effective Hamiltonian for electrons in wurtzite heterostructures put forward here, should stimulate additional theoretical works on wurtzite quantum wells, wires, and dots with variously defined geometries and external magnetic fields.

Flexible generation conversion and exchange of fiber guided orbital angular momentum modes using helical gratings

Year: 2019

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: By exploiting helical gratings (HGs), we propose and simulate flexible generation, conversion and exchange of fiber guided orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes. HGs can enable the generation of OAM modes, and the OAM conversion between two arbitrary modes guided in fibers. A specific HG can exchange the OAM states of a couple of OAM modes, i.e, OAM exchange. In addition, a Fabry Perot cavity cascaded with two identical reflective HGs can reflect converted OAM modes with a comb spectrum. The HGs based generation conversion and exchange of OAM modes are dependent on helix period, orientation, and the fold number of helical fringes. The proposed method of generation, conversion, and exchange of fiber guided OAM modes using HGs is flexible and well compatible with OAM fibers, featuring a high conversion efficiency close to 100% and a conversion bandwidth about 10 nm in transmission spectra, while less than 1 nm in reflection spectra.

description: Only one-fifth of the jobs held by less-educated workers are in "starter" occupations associated with subsequent well-paying occupations. So while pathways to advancement exist, they may be inaccessible to many less-educated workers. Minorities and especially women make up a disproportionately large share of dead-end employment, but the shares of starter, goal, and dead-end jobs in rural and urban labor markets are similar.

description: The main aim of the paper was to assess the measures of direct material and import intensity in the agriculture of the European Union countries. The analysis took place against the backdrop of the importance of agricultural sector in the national economies of the analyzed countries and the level of their development. The research materials covered the input-output tables for respective European Union countries for 1995, 2005, 2014. The analyses demonstrated that there was an increase in material intensity in all EU-15 countries and in Latvia, Lithuania and the Czech Republic. The remaining EU-13 countries noted a relative stability of the measure or its drop (Slovakia and Bulgaria). At the same time, changes in the structure of material supply were found in the new Member States, mainly due to the increase the role of agriculture-related services and the declining role of agriculture. The groups of these countries also differ in terms of import intensity measures of indirect consumption of agriculture. The conducted analysis allowed to check if well-known tendencies in agricultural economics are still valid, as well as to indicate new processes taking place in agriculture of the most developed EU countries.

description: All of us deal with data. A lot of us do data science. And yet only some of us get a chance to really infuse science into that data science work. Ever visit one of your old experiments and find that you want to pull out your hair because you are not sure how you arrived at some of the models that you ended up selecting, why you transformed your data the way you did, and other choices that now seem arbitrary but were perhaps perfectly reasonable then? While we invent a time machine that allows us to go back and inspect our previous (more brilliant?) selves, i have a simpler proposal: the humble lab notebook. Remember those ruled notebooks we carried around in physical labs at school diligently writing things down as we figured out how to build the best soda volcanoes? Turns out they can help us solve this problem of tracking our decisions as we arrive at different configurations that we run in our data science work so that we don’t need to curse at our past selves for making poor choices. Not only do they act as great supplements for existing AI lifecycle management tools, but they also help us share our learnings better with our colleagues (and future selves!). Come join me on this journey and let’s explore how the lab notebook can bring back science into data science. We’ll look at why you should have a lab notebook for all your data science work, how you should go about maintaining that lab notebook, and what you should and what you should NOT include in that lab notebook.

description: Labour productivity is commonly considered as one of the most important parameters of development of economies, because it is conductive to reduction of costs, increase in supply of cheaper goods and services, higher dynamics of the market and higher purchasing power of societies, their wealth and competitive ability. But labour productivity is – at the backdrop of the EU countries – highly diversified, including in particular in agriculture where its level is much lower than in other sectors of the economy. The main objective of the presented paper is to examine and assess the changes in labour productivity in the EU agriculture in the context of the diversity of its level and dynamics of change underlying the identification of labour productivity convergence/divergence processes taking place in agriculture. The labour productivity convergence processes in the EU agriculture were analysed based on data from the period between 2005 and 2016, by testing two its basic types, namely sigma and beta convergence. The analysis applied statistical measures describing the degree of labour productivity differentiation in agriculture of the EU countries and cross-sectional regression function. The research showed that sigma and beta convergence exist in general in the EU-28 countries and in the group of the new Member States (UE-13). In the group of old Member States, however, no sigma convergence/divergence was identified, but statistically significant beta divergence was noted.

The assessment covered the production and economic activity of farms targeted at live pig production was assessed and determination of their effectiveness and competitiveness as well as the possibilities of their development. The analysis showed that the main factor determining the production efficiency and competitiveness of pig farms is the production scale, and among large and very large farms only Polish and Spanish farms were fully competitive. The paper also indicates the main reasons for the weakness of the Polish pig production sector, which were identified as low degree of concentration and lack of links between livestock producers and processing plants and the existence of barriers hampering investments in livestock buildings adapted to a larger scale of production. In addition, the paper formulates the methods and directions of possible corrective actions in the field.

Multistoried climate talk: a narrative analysis of international climate policy
Creators: name: Satre Buisson, Geraldine
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: How does the international diplomatic community use narrative to talk about climate change? The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was created 25 years ago in recognition of the fact that climate change was a global issue that affected all countries in one way or another, and that no effective action could be taken without some level of international coordination. Today, the yearly international climate conferences (COPs) gather tens of thousands of participants representing a multitude of interests, from technological innovation to forest conservation, urban planning to indigenous people’s rights. Yet, greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, creating a growing gap between aspirations in international discussion and action on the ground. To bridge this gap, policymakers and academics alike have argued that better communication is required. Frequently these calls for improved communication are couched in terms of an appeal to narrative. This thesis examines how the concept of narrative is used in the context of international climate policy and critically analyses the claim that using narratives can lead to better policy outcomes. Through a study of UNFCCC activity between 2017 and 2019, and of the narrative-based Talanoa Dialogue in particular, I argue that narratives should be seen as relational devices that can foster mutual understanding across cultural divides. Building on the Narrative Policy Framework, the thesis presents an in-depth analysis of the ecology of narratives found within the COP environment. By examining narratives at the separate, though interconnected, levels of individual, organisational, institutional, and media discourse, I find that it is the selective appropriation and granularity of narrative that enables it to achieve its relational role. Keywords: climate change policy, narrative policy framework, UNFCCC, Talanoa Dialogue
The Systemic Velocity of Eta Carinae

description: High-resolution spectra of molecular hydrogen in the Homunculus nebula allow for the first direct measurement of the systemic velocity of Eta Carinae. Near-infrared long-slit data for H2 1-0 S(1) lambda 21218 obtained with the Phoenix spectrometer on the Gemini South telescope give Vsys=-8.1pm1 km/s (heliocentric), or VLSR=-19.7pm1 km/s, from the average of the near and far sides of the Homunculus. This measurement considerably improves the precision for the value of -7pm10 km/s inferred from neighboring O-type stars in the Carina nebula. New near-infrared spectra also provide a high-resolution line profile of [Fe II] lambda 16435 emission from gas condensations known as the Weigelt objects without contamination from the central star, revealing a line shape with complex kinematic structure. Previously, uncertainty in the Weigelt knots' kinematics was dominated by the adopted systemic velocity of Eta Car.

description: We study the transverse spin angular momentum of fiber eigenmodes. As an intrinsic property of fiber eigenmodes, it becomes considerable in optical nanofibers and, especially, increases sharply in the evanescent field. We derive analytical expressions of this angular momentum, and present its density distribution inside andoutside nanofibers. Significantly, we find the optimal ratio of the fiber core radius to the wavelength to obtain the maximum surface transverse spin. For instance, the optimal fiber radius is one fourth of the wavelength for the fundamental mode. Furthermore, we investigate the spin flow of each guided mode on the nanofiber surface and the transverse mechanical effects originated from the transverse spin on small particles.

description: The article presents the economic results and production efficiency for farms specializing in field crops classified by economic size classes. The FADN UE data from 2010 and 2015 were used for the analysis. The income from the farm was a measure of the economic situation. The assessment of production efficiency was carried out at the production and technical level, the profitability of current assets as well as the cost consumption and economic efficiency of production were examined. The debt of farms was also analyzed. Income from the farm without subsidies for operating activities in economic size classes 1-5 successively increased, while for farms in the sixth class there was a strong decline in it, as a result income was a negative value. In 2010, the subsidies covered the loss on production and ensured a certain amount of income, while in 2015 the loss was only partially covered (in 95%). The highest income without subsidies per 1 ha of arable land was obtained on farms from the third and fourth economic size classes (in 2010: EUR 267 and EUR 201, respectively, in 2015 – EUR 161 and EUR 193). Farm production in the third and fourth classes also stand out in terms of production efficiency, while in sixth class of farms, the efficiency was the lowest. Together with the increase in the economic size of farms, their debt increased. In all groups, the liabilities were mostly long-term loans, but its smallest share was found in the sixth class of farms. This means that significant funds were allocated to finance the current operations of these farms.

description: To understand sparse systems we must account for both strong local atom bonds and weak nonlocal van der Waals forces between atoms separated by empty space. A fully nonlocal functional form [H. Rydberg, B.I. Lundqvist, D.C. Langreth, and M. Dion, Phys. Rev. B 62, 6997 (2000)] of density-functional theory (DFT) is applied here to the layered systems graphite, boron nitride, and molybdenum sulfide to compute bond lengths, binding energies, and compressibilities. These key examples show that the DFT with the generalized-gradient approximation does not apply for calculating properties of sparse matter, while use of the fully nonlocal version appears to be one way to proceed.

The stochastic resonance between these structures is investigated theoretically in terms of a two-state approximation. The knowledge of the exact nonequilibrium potential allows us to obtain the output signal-to-noise ratio. Its maximum is predicted in the symmetric case for which both stable attractors have the same nonequilibrium potential value.

description: Topological semimetals with band crossings (BCs) near the Fermi level have attracted intense research activities in the past several years. Among various BCs, those enforced by an hourglass-like connectivity pattern, which are just located at the vertex in the neck of an hourglass and thus called hourglass BCs (HBCs), show interesting topological properties and are intimately related with the space group symmetry. Through checking compatibility relations in the Brillouin zone (BZ), we list all possible HBCs for all 230 space groups by identifying positions of HBCs as well as the compatibility relations related with the HBCs.The HBCs can be coexisting with conventional topological BCs such as Dirac andWeyl fermions and based on our exhaustive list, the dimensionality and degeneracy of the HBCs can be quickly identified. It is also found that the HBCs can be classified into two categories: one contains essential HBCs which are guaranteed to exist, while the HBCs in the other category may be tuned to disappear. Our results can help in efficiently predicting hourglass semimetals combined with first-principles calculations as well as studying transitions among various topological crystalline phases.

description: The strategic goal of the Republic of Serbia is full membership of the European Union (the EU). In addition to other reforms, this goal requires the development of competitive market economy, which would be conductive to the free flow of goods in the EU market, as regulated by the EU law. The basic subject of this paper is the research into the strengthening potential of market surveillance in Serbia, which would entail various products offered in the market, with the aim of achieving the optimal safety in their usage. In this paper, I have analyzed market surveillance in Serbia with respect to consumer protection, as a specific prerequisite to ensuring full membership of the EU. This can be done by adopting and implementing the existing standards and recommendations of the European Commission, within the limits of acceptable financial cost. The focus is on observing key elements of market surveillance with respect to technical products presupposing CE marking. The appropriate marketing surveillance system would enable satisfactory consumer protection aligned with the individual requirements in support of each market participant. The stress in on the improvement of domestic consumer protection and aligning the consumer protection system in Serbia to the standards of the European Union, whereby both the companies and the consumers would be treated equally.

description: Using spectra of normal emission line galaxies from the First Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) we have investigated the relations between the extinction $C({\rm H}β)$ as derived from the \Ha/\Hb emission line ratio and various global parameters of the galaxies. Our main findings are that: 1) $C({\rm H}β)$ is linked with the galaxy spectral type and colour, decreasing from early- to late-type spirals. 2) $C({\rm H}β)$ increases with increasing metallicity. 3) $C({\rm H}β)$ is larger in galaxies with an older stellar population. 4) $C({\rm H}β)$ is larger for more luminous galaxies. 5) The extinction of the stellar light is correlated with both the extinction of the nebular light and the intrinsic galaxy colours. We propose phenomenological interpretations of our empirical results. We have also cross-correlated our sample of SDSS galaxies with the IRAS data base. Due to the lower redshift limit imposed to our sample and to the detection limit of IRAS, such a procedure selected only luminous infrared galaxies. We found that correlations that were shown by other authors to occur between optical and infrared properties of galaxies disappear when restricting the sample to luminous infrared galaxies. We also found that the optical properties of the luminous infrared galaxies in our SDSS sample are very similar to those of our entire sample of SDSS galaxies. This may be explained by the IRAS luminosity of the galaxies originating in the regions that formed massive stars less than 1 Myr ago, while the opacity of galaxies as derived from the \Ha/\Hb emission line ratio is due to diffuse dust. We show some implications of our empirical results on the determination of global star formation rates and total stellar masses in normal galaxies.

title: Development of phenomenology-inspired phronetic social science (PIPSS) and its application in the study of workplace conflict: Doctoral dissertation synthesis
Creators: name: Morin, Thomas
Publisher: name: Vancouver Island University
Year: 2024
Subjects: College of interdisciplinary studies

description: 2024
description: This synthesis paper is one of four components submitted in fulfilment of the Doctor of Social Sciences degree; the other three components are attached in the appendices: the required article, the elective article, and a link to the elective video. This dissertation investigates the change in the lived experience of workplace conflict after the study participants were asked to reflect on the boundary situations of mortality, and freedom and responsibility (Yalom, 1980), and the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. A new qualitative, mixed-methods methodology, phenomenology-inspired phronetic social science (PIPSS) was developed to facilitate the investigation. PIPSS is based on van Manen’s (2014) phenomenology and Flyvbjerg’s (2001/2014) phronetic social science. The required article discusses the methodology, and the elective article presents the study findings. In the study’s second interview, participants’ expression of their pre-reflective, lived experience of workplace conflict included 50% fewer expressions of van Manen’s (2014) existentials and no expression of existentials related to how one might experience cognition or the mind. The author recommends further research be conducted before the results of this research inform the professional practice of managing workplace conflict. Literature is reviewed throughout sections of the portfolio components to support the discussions of the methodology, results, and recommendations. Lastly, although passages from the required and elective articles have been included in this dissertation synthesis, readers may refer to the articles for greater detail.
A genetic and metabolomic analysis of the Drosophila melanogaster innate immune response

description: Immunity and metabolism are closely intertwined. Immune responses are resource-demanding and metabolic changes are therefore required to the supply the immune system with the required energy and raw materials. In pathological infections where the immune response becomes dysregulated, these metabolic changes can contribute to pathology. Work using the model organism Drosophila melanogaster has been productive in uncovering how the immune system regulates metabolism, but details of actual metabolic changes that occur during infection, and their functions, are poorly known. This project sought to uncover the metabolic changes that occur during the Drosophila innate immune response to infection and understand the consequences of these changes. By combining mass spectrometry-based metabolomic analysis with the genetic analysis of Drosophila, I found that the immune response to systemic bacterial infection caused an increase in nitrogenous waste metabolism. Further investigations suggested that this increase in nitrogenous waste is due to an increase in the upregulation of endogenous protein degradation via an ESCRT-III mediated process. Expression of CHMP2B, encoding a core ESCRT-III component, was indicated to be required in the fat body for optimal translation of antimicrobial peptide transcripts. Together these data suggest a model in which the fly upregulates endogenous protein degradation in order to rapidly provide in-demand amino acids for immune effector production, with catabolism of the resulting excess amino acids causing an in increase in nitrogen waste metabolism. This project has thus revealed a profound metabolic change induced by a successful immune response in Drosophila. As the cost of this change is the degradation of the host’s own protein, this a probable mechanism of metabolic pathology in the context of a dysregulated immune response. Studying the etiology of such metabolic pathology will contribute to our understanding of conditions underpinned by metabolic dysregulation, such as sepsis and infection-induced cachexia.

description: We investigate a phenomenological model for the spin glass phase of La_{2-x}Sr_xCuO_4, in which it is assumed that holes doped into the CuO_2 planes localize near their Sr dopant, where they cause a dipolar frustration of the antiferromagnetic environment. In absence of long-range antiferromagnetic order, the spin system can reduce frustration, and also its free energy, by forming a state with an ordered orientation of the dipole moments, which leads to the appearance of spiral spin correlations. To investigate this model, a non-linear sigma model is used in which disorder is introduced via a randomly fluctuating gauge field. A renormalization group study shows that the collinear fixed point of the model is destroyed through the disorder and that the disorder coupling leads to an additive renormalization of the order parameter stiffness. Further, the stability of the spiral state against the formation of topological defects is investigated with the use of the replica trick. A critical disorder strength is found beyond which topological defects proliferate. Comparing our results with experimental data, it is found that for a hole density x > 0.02, i.e. in the entire spin glass regime, the disorder strength exceeds the critical threshold. In addition, some experiments are proposed in order to distinguish if the incommensurabilities observed in neutron scattering experiments correspond to a diagonal stripe or a spiral phase.

description: A high sensitivity force sensor based on dielectric microspheres in vacuum, optically trapped by a single, upward-propagating laser beam, is described. Off-axis parabolic mirrors are used both to focus the 1064~nm trapping beam and to recollimate it to provide information on the horizontal position of the microsphere. The vertical degree of freedom is readout by forming an interferometer between the light retroreflected by the microsphere and a reference beam, hence eliminating the need for auxiliary beams. The focus of the trapping beam has a 1/e$^2$ radius of 3.2~$μ$m and small non-Gaussian tails, suitable for bringing devices close to the trapped microsphere without disturbing the optical field. Electrodes surrounding the trapping region provide excellent control of the electric field, which can be used to drive the translational degrees of freedom of a charged microsphere and the rotational degrees of freedom of a neutral microsphere, coupling to its electric dipole moment. With this control, the charge state can be determined with single electron precision, the mass of individual microspheres can be measured, and empirical calibrations of the force sensitivity can be made for each microsphere. A force noise of $<1\times10^{-17}$~N/$\sqrt{\rm Hz}$, which is comparable to previous reports, is measured on all three degrees of freedom for 4.7~$μ$m diameter, 84~pg silica microspheres. Various devices have been brought within $1.6~μ$m of the surface of a trapped microsphere. Metrology in the trapping region is provided by two custom-designed microscopes providing views in the horizontal and one of the vertical planes. The apparatus opens the way to performing high sensitivity three-dimensional force measurements at short distance.
