description: We discuss the ``fractional D-branes'' which arise in orbifold resolution. We argue that they arise as subsectors of the Coulomb branch of the quiver gauge theory used to describe both string theory D-brane and Matrix theory on an orbifold, and thus must form part of the full physical Hilbert space. We make further observations confirming their interpretation as wrapped membranes.

Semiclassical analysis of the quantum interference corrections to the conductance of mesoscopic systems
Creators: name: Argaman, Nathan
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Kubo formula for the conductance of a mesoscopic system is analyzed semiclassically, yielding simple expressions for both weak localization and universal conductance fluctuations. In contrast to earlier work which dealt with times shorter than $O(\log \hbar^{-1})$, here longer times are taken to give the dominant contributions. For such long times, many distinct classical orbits may obey essentially the same initial and final conditions on positions and momenta, and the interference between pairs of such orbits is analyzed. Application to a chain of $k$ classically ergodic scatterers connected in series gives the following results: $-{1 \over 3} [ 1 - (k+1)^{-2} ]$ for the weak localization correction to the zero--temperature dimensionless conductance, and ${2 \over 15} [ 1 - (k+1)^{-4} ]$ for the variance of its fluctuations. These results interpolate between the well known ones of random scattering matrices for $k=1$, and those of the one--dimensional diffusive wire for $k \rightarrow \infty$.

description: Rising feed-in from renewable energy sources decreases margins, load factors, and thereby profitability of conventional generation in several electricity markets around the world. At the same time, conventional generation is still needed to ensure security of electricity supply. Therefore, capacity markets are currently being widely discussed as a measure to ensure generation adequacy in markets such as France, Germany, and the United States (e.g., Texas), or even implemented for example in Great Britain. We assess the effect of different capacity market design options in three scenarios: 1) no capacity market, 2) a capacity market for new capacity only, and 3) a capacity market for new and existing capacity. We compare the results along the three key dimensions of electricity policy ��� affordability, reliability, and sustainability. In a Great Britain case study we find that a capacity market increases generation adequacy since it provides incentives for new generation investments. Furthermore, our results show that a capacity market can lower the total bill of generation because it can reduce lost load and the potential to exercise market power. Additionally, we find that a capacity market for new capacity only is cheaper than a capacity market for new and existing capacity because it remunerates fewer generators in the first years after its introduction.

PAST AND POTENTIAL ROLES OF ELECTRICITY SYSTEM OPERATORS: FROM LIBERALISATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE MANAGEMENT IN BRITAIN
Creators: name: Stern, J.
Publisher: name: Faculty of Economics
Year: 2015
Subjects: System operator
climate change policy
electricity liberalization

EU energy policy

description: This paper discusses the changing role of electricity system operators in Britain. Until 2008, the UK electricity system operator was the key co-ordinator for a liberalized electricity generation market. However, since 2008, the British electricity system operator has, under the Energy Market Reform, primarily become a delivery agency for technology-specific generation within a planned electricity system. This paper discusses the transformation in the role of the British electricity system operator since 2008 and analyses the relationship between this change and the development of EU energy and climate change policy. The paper concludes with a discussion of the alternative views of the EU energy policy ��� the EU Commission has been proposing much increased interconnection to encourage multi-country regional markets, linking those markets into a Single European Electricity Market. Conversely, the UK, Germany and some other Member States have been promoting their national markets based on large-scale investment on national renewables with sizeable budgetary subsidies, supported by capacity payments. The role of the national electricity system operator is central to this debate with its functions very different in the two models.

description: Cost uncertainty has latterly come to be presented in the UK's Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) Levelised Cost of Electricity (LCOE) estimates using sensitivities; 'high' and 'low' figures presented alongside central estimates. This presentation of uncertainty is limited in its provision of context, and of an overall picture of how costs and uncertainty vary over time. Two analyses are performed using the published DECC cost estimates for three electricity generation technologies – nuclear, offshore wind and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). The first analysis analyses cost trajectories from selected DECC LCOE estimates and presents them alongside contextual data, resulting in contextual cost landscapes. The second evaluates the associated temporal estimate uncertainty in the decade 2020-2030; an approach aimed at capturing the temporal consistency of estimates, alongside variations in magnitude. Nuclear estimates are found to be both the most consistent and lowest in magnitude. Offshore wind and CCS suffer from comparatively large cost and uncertainty premiums. The implications for the direction of policy are then discussed in the context of conflicting past experience and hidden costs.

description: We present three-dimensional direct numerical simulations of internal waves excited by turbulent convection in a self-consistent, Boussinesq and Cartesian model of convective--stably-stratified fluids. We demonstrate that in the limit of large Rayleigh number ($Ra\in [4\times 10^7,10^9]$) and large stratification (Brunt-Väisälä frequencies $f_N \gg f_c$, where $f_c$ is the convective frequency), simulations are in good agreement with a theory that assumes waves are generated by Reynolds stresses due to eddies in the turbulent region (Lecoanet \& Quataert 2013 MNRAS 430 (3) 2363-2376). Specifically, we demonstrate that the wave energy flux spectrum scales like $k_{\perp}^4f^{-13/2}$ for weakly-damped waves (with $k_{\perp}$ and $f$ the waves' horizontal wavenumbers and frequencies), and that the total wave energy flux decays with $z$, the distance from the convective region, like $z^{-13/8}$.

description: Several time-independent methods have been devised for measuring the phase gamma of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa unitarity triangle. It is shown that such measurements generally suffer from discrete ambiguity which is at least 8-fold, not 4-fold as commonly stated. This has serious experimental implications, which are explored in methods involving B->DK decays. The measurement sensitivity and new physics discovery potential are estimated using a full Monte Carlo detector simulation with realistic background estimates.

description: This study explores and quantifies the benefits of connecting more distributed generation (with and without the use of smart connections) across different parties (Distribution Network Operators, wider society and generators). Different connection scenarios are proposed (with partial and full interruptible capacity quota, a mix of generation and different technology-specific curtailment levels) for integrating DG units in the constrained area of the March grid (East of England). This constitutes the trial area of the Flexible Plug and Play project, which is being implemented by UK Power Networks. The smart connection option is by far the preferred option across all the scenarios (higher NPV/MW). However, for some generators the results are very sensitive to the discount rate used (i.e. solar PV). The analysis of the distribution of benefits suggests that generators capture most of the benefits while DNOs and wider society capture much less benefit. A smart connection incentive, which recreates the benefits to DNOs from an earlier losses incentive, is proposed. In contrast with other societally desirable metrics which are usually incentivised or penalised, there is currently no direct connection between more DG MWs connected and DNO incentive payments. Our proposed smart connection incentive, by charging DG for smarter connection may help to distribute more efficiently the benefits for connecting more DG.

description: Motivated by recent experiments by Yuse and Sano (Nature, 362, 329 (1993)), we propose a discrete model of linear springs for studying fracture in thin and elastically isotropic brittle films. The method enables us to draw a map of the stresses in the material. Cracks generated by the model, imposing a moving thermal gradient in the material, can branch or wiggle depending on the driving parameters. The results may be used to compare with other recent theoretical work, or to design future experiments.

Unveiling the Veiled: Semiotic Analysis of Symbols and Power Dynamics in the Denver Airport Conspiracy Theories
Creators: Mckinley, Mara
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2024

This capstone project, titled 'Unveiling the Veiled: Semiotic Analysis of Symbols and Power Dynamics in the Denver Airport Conspiracy Theories,' embarks on a thorough examination and undertaking of the public discourse surrounding the Denver International Airport, paying special attention to its iconic artworks. By employing a blend of qualitative and quantitative methodologies, and using MAXQDA24™ software, the study analyzes discourse from six blogs that either uphold or challenge the narratives associated with DIA's art pieces. In an era where airports symbolize more than just travel—echoing broader themes of power, surveillance, and technology—DIA's art, including the 'Blue Mustang,' 'Notre Denver' gargoyles, and Leo Tanguma's murals, stands at the intersection of varied interpretations. The project investigates how these artworks become focal points in conspiracy theories that attribute to them hidden, often ominous messages, contrasting these views with defending narratives that emphasize the art's intended communicative and commemorative functions.

Uncovered is a clear divide in the perception of DIA's artworks; while conspiracy theories often attach a single negative meaning to them, proponents offer a more comprehensive and inclusive interpretation of the art's significance. The research highlights how conspiracy theories can manipulate the artwork's message, elevating their own explanation as the primary one and distorting the original intent and overall understanding of the art.

By detailing these opposing interpretations, the study highlights the underlying societal dynamics, underscoringissues of trust and authority. It demonstrates how art's openness to interpretation can be manipulated to forge alternative realities, especially in symbolically charged environments like airports. The results support the idea of being more thoughtful when it comes to displaying art in public areas and propose that clear messaging could prevent confusion and combat theories and narrative hijacking driven by conspiracies.. Through its analysis, the project offers insights into the interplay of art, symbolism, and perception at DIA, providing broader implications for the role of public space art in contemporary society.

description: Using Ba(Fe$_{0.975}$Co$_{0.025}$)$_2$As$_{2}$ as an exemplar material exhibiting second order electronic-nematic and antiferromagnetic transitions, we present measurements that reveal anomalies in the elastoresistance $\left(\frac{\partial ρ_{ij}}{\partial\varepsilon_{kl}}\right)$ and elastocaloric effect $\left(\frac{\partial T}{\partial\varepsilon_{kl}}\right)$ at both phase transitions. Both effects are understood to arise from the effect of strain on the transition temperatures; in the region close to the phase transitions this leads to (1) similarity between the strain and temperature derivatives of the resistivity and (2) similarity between the elastocaloric effect and the singular part of the specific heat. These mechanisms for elastoresistance and elastocaloric effect should be anticipated for any material in which mechanical deformation changes the transition temperature. Furthermore, these measurements provide evidence that the Fisher-Langer relation $ρ^{(c)} \propto U^{(c)}$ between the scattering from critical degrees of freedom and their energy-density, respectively, holds near each of the Neél and electronic nematic transitions in the material studied.

Bargaining Practice and Negotiation Failure in Russia-Ukraine Gas Relations

description: What causes 'gas wars' between Russia and Ukraine? In this paper I argue that contract disputes in the eastern European gas sector are specific instances of a broader set of phenomena: bargains over strategically important resource issues outside of any international framework to facilitate cooperation. Non cooperative game theory helps to shed light on the reasons we see crises emerge despite the fact that both parties would be better off reaching an agreement short of conflict. I develop a framework for crisis bargaining that departs from canonical games in one important dimension: it explicitly considers impact of bargaining practices and strategies on the negotiation process and the probability of failure. While bargaining practices are endogenous to both the preferences of the players and the structure of the game, they intervene in the causal process in substantively important ways by modifying the effect of both preferences and structure. Critically, practices embedded in earlier rounds affect practices and outcomes later on independent of the preferences of each player or the structure of the game. I use this practice-theoretic bargaining framework to develop an in-depth case study of 2008 negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. This framework helps produce a nuanced understanding of bargaining breakdown that led to the most damaging of the ���gas wars��; the resulting explanation outperforms the standard bargaining model as well as a number of competing arguments.

description: We address nonperturbative power corrections to inclusive decay widths of heavy flavor hadrons in the context of the 't Hooft model (two-dimensional QCD at N_c->oo), with the emphasis on the spectator-dependent effects sensitive to the flavor of the spectator. The summation of exclusive widths is performed analytically using the `t Hooft equation. We show that the 1/m_Q expansion of both the Weak Annihilation and Pauli Interference widths coincides with the OPE predictions, to the computed orders. Violation of local duality in the inclusive widths is quantified, and the new example is identified where the OPE prediction and the actual effect are completely saturated by a single final state. The qualitative aspects of quark hadronization emerging from the analysis in the 't Hooft model are discussed. Certain aspects of summation of spectator-independent hadronic weak decay widths are given in more detail, which were not spelled out previously. We also give some useful details of the 1/m_Q expansion in the 't~Hooft model.

description: We consider a thermal quantum harmonic oscillator weakly coupled to a heat bath at a different temperature. We analytically study the quantum heat exchange statistics between the two systems using the quantum-optical master equation. We exactly compute the characteristic function of the heat distribution and show that it verifies the Jarzynski-Wójcik fluctuation theorem. We further evaluate the heat probability density in the limit of long thermalization times, both in the low and high temperature regimes, and investigate its time evolution by calculating its first two cumulants.

description: Magnetic atoms on a superconductor give rise to Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states within the superconducting energy gap. A spin chain of magnetic adatoms on an s-wave superconductor may lead to topological superconductivity accompanied by the emergence of Majorana modes at the chain ends. For their usage in quantum computation, it is a prerequisite to artificially assemble the chains and control the exchange couplings between the spins in the chain and in the substrate. Here, using a scanning tunneling microscope tip, we demonstrate engineering of the energy levels of the YSR states by placing interstitial Fe atoms in close proximity to adsorbed Fe atoms on an oxidized Ta surface. Based on this prototype platform, we show that the interaction within a long chain can be strengthened by linking the adsorbed Fe atoms with the interstitial ones. Our work adds an important step towards the controlled design and manipulation of Majorana end states.

description: We revisit the problem of the production of light atomic nuclei in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. While their production systematics is well produced by hadro-chemical freezeout at temperatures near the QCD pseudo-critical temperature, their small binding energies of a few MeV per nucleon suggest that they cannot survive as bound states under these conditions. Here, we adopt the concept of effective chemical potentials in the hadronic evolution from chemical to thermal freezeout (at typically $T_{\rm fo}$$\simeq$100\,MeV), which, despite frequent elastic rescatterings in hadronic matter, conserves the effective numbers of particles which are stable under strong interactions, most notably pions, kaons and nucleons. It turns out that the large chemical potentials that build up for antibaryons result in thermal abundances of light nuclei and antinuclei, formed at thermal freezeout, which essentially agree with the ones evaluated at chemical freezeout. Together with their transverse-momentum spectra, which also indicate a kinetic freezeout near $T_{\rm fo}$, this provides a natural explanation for their production systematics without postulating their survival at high temperatures.

description: China's GDP growth slowdown and a surge in global financial market volatility could both adversely affect an already weak global economic recovery. To quantify the global macroeconomic consequences of these shocks, we employ a GVAR model estimated for 26 countries/regions over the period 1981Q1 to 2013Q1. Our results indicate that (i) a one percent permanent negative GDP shock in China (equivalent to a one-off one percent growth shock) could have significant global macroeconomic repercussions, with world growth reducing by 0:23 percentage points in the short-run; and (ii) a surge in global financial market volatility could translate into a fall in world economic growth of around 0:29 percentage points, but it could also have negative short-run impacts on global equity markets, oil prices and long-term interest rates.

COVID-19 impact on nursing

description: Nursing, as defined by the American Nurses Association, encompasses the protection, promotion, and optimization of health and abilities, the prevention of illness and injury, the alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response, and advocacy in the care of individuals, families, communities, and populations. However, the nursing workforce in Nigeria has faced a significant challenge in recent years. According to a November 2022 report in the Punch newspaper, an alarming 57,000 nurses migrated from Nigeria to seek better opportunities abroad between 2017 and 2022. This mass exodus poses a serious threat to the nation's healthcare system and calls for immediate attention and strategic interventions.

The migration of such a substantial number of nurses has contributed to a growing global imbalance in the supply and demand of nursing professionals. This issue is further exacerbated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has placed an unprecedented strain on healthcare systems worldwide. The pandemic has not only highlighted the critical role of nurses but has also intensified the challenges they face, including occupational infections, stress, and burnout. Consequently, addressing the global nursing shortage has become an urgent imperative for maintaining the integrity of healthcare delivery systems.

This paper aims to explore the multifaceted dimensions of the nursing shortage issue, with a specific focus on Nigeria. By examining the root causes of nurse migration, the paper seeks to shed light on the systemic challenges faced by the Nigerian healthcare system that drive nurses to seek employment opportunities abroad. Additionally, the study will assess the broader global context, considering the impact of the nursing shortage on healthcare delivery during health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

The findings of this research will contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the complex factors influencing nurse migration and the subsequent shortage. Moreover, it will inform evidence-based strategies and policies to retain and attract nursing professionals, not only in Nigeria but also in other regions grappling with similar challenges. By addressing the systemic issues that underlie nurse migration, stakeholders can work collaboratively to create a more sustainable and resilient nursing workforce, ensuring the provision of quality healthcare services for all.

description: There is a growing interest in light weight implementation of cryptographic algorithms for low-resource ubiquitous computing devices such as a wireless sensor nodes (WSN) or radio frequency identification (RFID) tags. Most light weight cryptographic implementations are targeted to application specific integrated circuits (ASIC). However, ASICs have a high non-recurring engineering cost and longer time to market. Even though field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) are reconfigurable and have low non-recurring engineering cost, they consume more power than ASICs. Power consumption is a primary concern for light weight cryptographic applications. With the development of low-cost, low-power FPGAs for battery powered devices, they are becoming an interesting target for light weight cryptography (LWC). In this thesis we describe compact architectures of AES, Camellia, xTEA, HIGHT and Present are implemented on low-cost Xilinx Spartan3 FPGAs. Different optimization techniques are employed to minimize the area consumption by smart use of the Configurable Logic Block (CLB) structure in FPGAs. All the cipher implementations are light weight but with full strength security i.e. not 80-bit but 128-bit key length. Furthermore, differential power analysis (DPA) attacks are performed on these implementations to investigate their "natural", i.e. without any countermeasures resistance to this form of attack.

description: We study the implications of a large baryogenesis temperature, $T_B = O(10^{10}$ GeV), on the mass spectrum of superparticles in supersymmetric extensions of the standard model. Models with a neutralino as lightest superparticle (LSP) are excluded. A consistent picture is obtained with the gravitino as LSP, followed by a higgsino-like neutralino (NSP). Gravitinos with masses from 10 to 100 GeV may be the dominant component of dark matter.

description: The production of a single top quark in the $t$-channel and its subsequent decay is studied at NLO accuracy in QCD, augmented with the relevant dimension-6 effective operators from the Standard Model Effective Theory. We examine various kinematic and angular distributions for proton-proton collisions at the LHC at 13 TeV, in order to assess the sensitivity to these operators, both with and without the top quark narrow width approximation. Our results will be helpful when devising strategies to establish bounds on their coefficients, including the amount of CP violation of the weak dipole operator.

$(p+2)$-form gauge fields for $p$-brane through an action-at-a-distance

description: In the conventional $p$-brane theory, a gauge ($p+1$)-form field $ϕ^{(p+1)}$ mediates the interaction between $p$-branes, which is gauge invariant in the sense $ϕ^{(p+1)}\to ϕ^{(p+1)}+dΛ^{(p)}$ with $Λ^{(p)}$, an arbitrary $p$-form and $d$, a boundary operator. We, on the contrary, propose to introduce a new gauge field $ϕ^{(p+2)}$ mediating the interaction, and we have a new type of gauge transformation: $ϕ^{(p+2)}\to ϕ^{(p+2)} +δΛ^{(p+3)}$, with $δ$, a coboundary operator.

description: This paper examines the time-profile of the impact of systemic banking crises on GDP and industrial production using a panel of 24 countries over the inter-war period and compares this to the post-war experience of these countries. We show that banking crises have effects that induce medium-term adjustments on economies. Focusing on an eight-year horizon, it is clear that the negative effects of systemic banking crises last over the entirety of this time-horizon. The effect has been identified for GDP and industrial production. The adverse effect on the industrial sector stands out as being substantially larger in magnitude relative to the macroeconomic effect. Comparing the results across long-run historical periods for the same selection of countries and variables identifies some differences that stand out: the short term macroeconomic impact effects are much larger in the post-war period, suggesting that the propagation channels of shocks operate at a faster pace in the more recent period. Moreover, the time-profile of effects differs, suggesting that modern policies may be modulating the temporal shape of the response to banking crises shocks. However, the broad magnitude of the adverse effect of banking crises remains comparable across these time periods.

description: We report the first GNO solar neutrino results for the measuring period GNOI, solar exposure time May 20, 1998 till January 12, 2000. In the present analysis, counting results for solar runs SR1 - SR19 were used till April 4, 2000. With counting completed for all but the last 3 runs (SR17 - SR19), the GNO I result is [65.8 +10.2 -9.6 (stat.) +3.4 -3.6 (syst.)]SNU (1sigma) or [65.8 + 10.7 -10.2 (incl. syst.)]SNU (1sigma) with errors combined. This may be compared to the result for Gallex(I-IV), which is [77.5 +7.6 -7.8 (incl. syst.)] SNU (1sigma). A combined result from both GNOI and Gallex(I-IV) together is [74.1 + 6.7 -6.8 (incl. syst.)] SNU (1sigma).

description: We discuss the thermodynamics of a gas of black holes in five-dimensional anti-de-Sitter (AdS) space, showing that they are described by a van der Waals equation of state. Motivated by the Maldacena conjecture, we relate the energy density and pressure of this non-ideal AdS black-hole gas to those of four-dimensional gauge theory in the unconfined phase. We find that the energy density rises rapidly above the deconfinement transition temperature, whilst the pressure rises more slowly towards its asymptotic high-temperature value, in qualitative agreement with lattice simulations.

description: The capital flows network has changed substantially, bringing new investors and target economies into play. Related, a recent intensification of capital flows to low income countries (LICs) has posed a number of questions. Most importantly, the very nature of those flows and important factors affecting foreign investors decision which can ultimately affect growth prospects of low income countries (together with an issue of sustainability) remain open for an academic probe. Due to an existence of a share of costs which is fixed in nature, there is a need to analyze capital flows and their evolution at two margins: intensive and extensive. This paper presents a parsimonious theoretical account that is consequently mapped into an econometric framework where we allow for two-tier decisions and cross-sectional dependence. Results indicate that market entry costs affect investment decisions pertinent to the LICs, consistently with the static theory. However, persistence in extensive margin eliminates this effect once dynamics is allowed for.
