description: Σκοπός της διατριβής ήταν η μελέτη και η ανάπτυξη μιας νέας, αυτόματης, εκλεκτικής και ευαίσθητης μεθόδου για τον ποσοτικό προσδιορισμό ιόντων καδμίου σε περιβαλλοντικά δείγματα (φυσικά νερά) σε επίπεδα ιχνών με την τεχνική της on-line εκχύλισης στερεάς φάσης (SPE) και φασματόμετρο ατομικής απορρόφησης με ατομοποιητή φλόγα ως ανιχνευτικό σύστημα. Η μέθοδος προσδιορισμού βασίζεται στη χρήση, για πρώτη φορά, μικρο-στηλών OasisTM-HLB σε on-line συστήματα προσυγκέντρωσης και/ή διαχωρισμού σε συνδυασμό με την ατομική φασματομετρία. Ως συμπλεκτικό αντιδραστήριο χρησιμοποιήθηκε το διαίθυλο-δίθειοφωσφορικό αμμώνιο (DDPA). Το σύμπλοκο Cd(II)-DDPA που σχηματίζεται on-line, συγκρατείται από το πολυμερές προσροφητικό υλικό της στήλης, polyvinylbenzene-co-N-vinylpyrrolidone. Για την άμεση και ποσοτική παραλαβή του προσυγκεντρωμένου συστατικού στη στήλη προσυγκέντρωσης χρησιμοποιήθηκε καθορισμένη ποσότητα μεθανόλης (MeOH). Το έκλουσμα μεταφέρεται on-line στο σύστημα νεφοποίησης-ατομοποίησης με σκοπό τη μέτρηση της απορρόφησης και τον προσδιορισμό του μετάλλου. Η χρήση της μικροστήλης Oasis HLB κάνει την προτεινόμενη μέθοδο FI-SPE-FAAS ιδιαίτερα ελκυστική, καθώς είναι η πρώτη φορά που χρησιμοποιείται για τον προσδιορισμό μετάλλων σε συνδυασμό με FAAS. Η μέθοδος εφαρμόστηκε στην ανάλυση περιβαλλοντικών δειγμάτων
description: Cadmium seems to be one of the most toxic heavy metal elements for animals and humans, even at low concentrations. This is the reason why determination of cadmium is often required in various environmental, biological and food samples. A novel automatic flow injection (FI) solid phase extraction (SPE) system coupled to flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) has been developed for trace amount of cadmium determination in natural waters. Selective determination of Cd(II) was achieved by on-line formation and retention of the Cd(II)-DDPA complex in a micro-column packed with a reversed-phase copolymeric sorbent [namely, poly(divinylbenzene-co-N-vinylpyrrolidone)] containing a balanced ratio of hydrophilic and lipophilic monomers. The adsorbed complex was then eluted by a methanol (MeOH) plug and introduced directly into the nebulizer via a flow compensation unit. All the critical parameters affecting the complex formation, adsorption and elution were optimized and offered good performance characteristics and high preconcentration ratios. The proposed method, FI-SPE-FAAS showed a high tolerance to the commonly matrix elements in environmental waters, and was successfully applied for the determination of cadmium in a variety of environmental water samples. Finally, the method was applied for cadmium determination in environmental samples.

description: The literary review presents current trends in the use of ultrasound (ultrasound) and multislice computed tomography (MSCT) in the diagnosis of closed abdominal injuries. During discussing the issues of sonography, special emphasis is placed on publications devoted to assessing the informativeness of the so-called FAST-protocol ("Focused assessment with sonography in trauma"), which is included in the clinical recommendations of ATLS (Advanced Trauma Life Support), as a mandatory initial diagnostic study of patients with severe trauma. It is also shown that MSCT is currently considered the gold standard in the diagnosis of abdominal injuries.

description: Generative models of expressive piano performance are usually assessed by comparing their predictions to a reference human performance. A generative algorithm is taken to be better than competing ones if it produces performances that are closer to a human reference performance. However, expert human performers can (and do) interpret music in different ways, making for different possible references, and quantitative closeness is not necessarily aligned with perceptual similarity, raising concerns about the validity of this evaluation approach. In this work, we present a number of experiments that shed light on this problem. Using precisely measured high-quality performances of classical piano music, we carry out a listening test indicating that listeners can sometimes perceive subtle performance difference that go unnoticed under quantitative evaluation. We further present tests that indicate that such evaluation frameworks show a lot of variability in reliability and validity across different reference performances and pieces. We discuss these results and their implications for quantitative evaluation, and hope to foster a critical appreciation of the uncertainties involved in quantitative assessments of such performances within the wider music information retrieval (MIR) community.

description: Let $\mathcal{C}_1$ denote the largest connected component of the critical Erdős--Rényi random graph $G(n,{\frac{1}{n}})$. We show that, typically, the diameter of $\mathcal{C}_1$ is of order $n^{1/3}$ and the mixing time of the lazy simple random walk on $\mathcal{C}_1$ is of order $n$. The latter answers a question of Benjamini, Kozma and Wormald. These results extend to clusters of size $n^{2/3}$ of $p$-bond percolation on any $d$-regular $n$-vertex graph where such clusters exist, provided that $p(d-1)\le1+O(n^{-1/3})$.

description: One notable example of exoplanet diversity is the population of circumbinary planets, which orbit around both stars of a binary star system. There are so far only 16 known circumbinary exoplanets, all of which lie in the same orbital plane as the host binary. Suggestions exist that circumbinary planets could also exist on orbits highly inclined to the binary, close to 90$^{\circ}$, polar orbits. No such planets have been found yet but polar circumbinary gas and debris discs have been observed and if these were to form planets then those would be left on a polar orbit. We report strong evidence for a polar circumbinary exoplanet, which orbits a close pair of brown dwarfs which are on an eccentric orbit. We use radial-velocities to measure a retrograde apsidal precession for the binary, and show that this can only be attributed to the presence of a polar planet.

description: The oral cavity, the maxillofacial region and generally the head and neck region are common locations for tumor-like lesions, both in children and adolescents. These tumors may appear during the first days of the child’s life or develop in any stage of his childhood. In most cases, they are benign lesions of congenital or inflammatory origin. Some cases though, are presented with severe manifestations and should be diagnosed and treated immediately. The following review is referred to epidemiology, clinical symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of the most common tumors and tumor-like lesions of head and neck in children. Also, there is extended reference in malignant lesions, that despite their small overall percentage, should be evaluated carefully, and differentially diagnosed from other lesions with similar clinical symptoms. Treatment of these pathological conditions must take under consideration the special developmental and biological characteristics of children.

description: This paper is about teaching literature within the framework of reception theory and the theory of critical reading. In the beginning, there is a bird’s eyeview on the contribution of reception theory on classroom practices, as well as on critical approaches, referring on the alternative ways of reading texts. Based on this theoretical framework I try to read two formation (Bildungsroman) novels, namely Eroica and Τα Ψάθινα Καπέλα (Straw Hats) as well as to design certain activities which aim at the formation of a more critical reading position by the students. The research part of the project is the practical implementation of the particular educational application and the analysis of the produced material, that is the oral and written word of the students. The goal is to infuse a constructive re-contemplation concerning the design procedure and the contribution of critical reading in the methodical handling of the Literature course.

Remaking an institution and community : the Vancouver Japanese Language School after the war
Creators: name: Otsuka, Chihiro
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This present thesis is a study of the re-establishment of the Vancouver Japanese Language School (first established in 1906), and the Japanese Canadian community in Vancouver after World War II. Focusing on the reopening of the school in 1952, this study attempts to discuss how the school's reopening influenced the rebuilding of the Japanese-Canadian community in post-war Vancouver, where Japanese Canadians had had a large ethnic community before 1941. B y regarding the Japanese-language school as a means to comprehend trends in the lives of Japanese Canadians, this study seeks to understand how and to what extent the Japanese Canadians in Vancouver were able to reconstruct their ethnic identity: how much they acculturated into anglo-Canadian society after the devastation of their ethnic community; and how differently each successive generation has perceived the significance of ethnic cultural retention, such as the Japanese language. Until the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour in 1941, the Vancouver Japanese Language School was the largest such school on the Pacific coast of North America, and served the Japanese Canadian community as a transmitter of their ethnic culture and traditions to the next generation. However, after the destruction of the ethnic community by the World War II evacuation of Japanese Canadians in 1942, the leadership of the Japanese Canadians shifted from culturally "Japanese-oriented" issei (first generation) to "more-Canadianized" nisei (second generation). Consequently, demand for fluency in the Japanese language and an understanding of the ethnic culture was replaced with the demand for English and the anglo-Canadian culture. Despite such a huge change in the community, the Vancouver Japanese Language School was reopened, though reduced in size, and continues to operate to the present. This study draws evidence from several works by a long-time principal and teacher of the school, Tsutae Sato, and his wife Hanako, a variety of primary sources from the Sato Collection at the University of British Columbia, and the Japanese ethnic press, as well as the author's interviews with six people who have historical connections to the school reopening and management. By using these sources, this study attempts to examine what the meaning of the school reopening was for the Japanese Canadians after the devastation of their pre-war communities; how the school's function and roles changed from the pre-war to the post-war period; how language education and the Japanese language influenced the formation of Japanese Canadians' particularly that of the nisei ethnic identity as heirs to a Japanese tradition in Canada.

description: Starting with the Dirac equation outside the event horizon of a non-extreme Kerr black hole, we develop a time-dependent scattering theory for massive Dirac particles. The explicit computation of the modified wave operators at infinity is done by implementing a time-dependent logarithmic phase shift from the free dynamics to offset the long range term in the full Hamiltonian due to the presence of the gravitational force. Analytical expressions for the wave operators are also given.

description: We present the design and prototype of a switchable electron mirror, along with a technique for driving it with a flat-top pulse. We employ a general technique for electronic pulse-shaping, where high fidelity of the pulse shape is required but the characteristics of the system, which are possibly nonlinear, are not known. This driving technique uses an arbitrary waveform generator to pre-compensate the pulse, with a simple iterative algorithm used to generate the input waveform. We demonstrate improvement in RMS error of roughly two orders of magnitude over an uncompensated waveform. This is a broadly applicable, general method for arbitrary pulse shaping.

The satanic verses and the occidentalism of Salman Rushdie
Creators: name: Sobhan, Zafar
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This paper is an inquiry into the critical tenability of the positioning of Salman Rushdie as brown sahib and the coincident reading of The Satanic Verses as an Orientalist attack on Islam. The paper opens with an exposition of Rushdie's thematic preoccupation with the identity of the Westernized Indian and of how ideas from his earlier writing are developed into a reappraisal and repositioning of this identity in the novel. Rushdie's presentation of these themes and his., depiction of London and its British Indian community, demonstrates that he does not identify with the colonial culture and that the positioning of him as brown sahib is untenable. The reading of the novel as Orientalist is dependent on the identification of Rushdie with the West. Having established that the positioning of Rushdie as brown sahib is invalid, the paper proceeds to dismantle the reading of the novel as Orientalist which takes such a positioning as its basic premise. Having dismantled the framework of Orientalism within which the novel is understood, the paper then demonstrates how such a positioning of Rushdie and the discrediting of The Satanic Verses as an Orientalist attack on Islam can be understood as a rhetorical device constructed to subvert Rushdie's authority and to obscure the actual critique of Islam that is offered in the novel.

description: Data-driven graph learning models a network by determining the strength of connections between its nodes. The data refers to a graph signal which associates a value with each graph node. Existing graph learning methods either use simplified models for the graph signal, or they are prohibitively expensive in terms of computational and memory requirements. This is particularly true when the number of nodes is high or there are temporal changes in the network. In order to consider richer models with a reasonable computational tractability, we introduce a graph learning method based on representation learning on graphs. Representation learning generates an embedding for each graph node, taking the information from neighbouring nodes into account. Our graph learning method further modifies the embeddings to compute the graph similarity matrix. In this work, graph learning is used to examine brain networks for brain state identification. We infer time-varying brain graphs from an extensive dataset of intracranial electroencephalographic (iEEG) signals from ten patients. We then apply the graphs as input to a classifier to distinguish seizure vs. non-seizure brain states. Using the binary classification metric of area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), this approach yields an average of 9.13 percent improvement when compared to two widely used brain network modeling methods.

description: Η μικτή μάθηση κυρίως αφορά στη μίξη online μάθησης και πρόσωπο-με-πρόσωπο. Δεν αποτελεί τόσο καινούργια παιδαγωγική προσέγγιση όσο μια διαδικασία που εμπεριέχει τη διαχείρηση πόρων στην εκπαίδευση. Το κοινωνικό διαδίκτυο και οι web 2.0 τεχνολογίες καθιστούν το μαθητή από παθητικό χρήστη σε δημιουργό περιεχομένου.Ένα αποτέλεσμα αυτού είναι η ανάληψη ευθυνών στη μαθησιακή διαδικασία. Αυτό θέτει νέες απαιτήσεις και ευκαιρίες στη διαχείρηση των πόρων της εκπαίδευσης. Ένα άλλο αποτέλεσμα των νέων τεχνολογιών είναι ότι οι σειρές μαθημάτων μπορούν να σχεδιαστούν σύμφωνα με τις ατομικές ανάγκες των μαθητών. Η μικτή μάθηση μπορεί να αποτελεί μια λύση σε προβλήματα που εμφανίζονται σε τάξεις μικτών ικανοτήτων και μικτών πολιτισμικών συμβάσεων.
description: Blended learning is primarily a mixture of online and face-to-face learning. It is not so much a new pedagogical approach but rather a process involving the management of resources in education. The social internet and the web 2.0 technologies are transforming the learner from passive user to content creator. One of the implications of this is the sharing of responsibilities in the learning process. This places new demands and opportunities in managing education resources. Another implication of new technologies is that courses can be tailor- made to meet the needs of individual learners. Blended learning can provide a solution to problems emerging in mixed ability classes and classes of mixed cultural conventions.

description: Light emission from a dielectric cavity with a stadium shape is studied in both ray and wave models. For a passive cavity mode with low loss, a remarkable correspondence is found between the phase space representation of a quasi-bound wavefunction and its counterpart distribution in the ray model. This result provides additional and more direct evidence for good ray-wave correspondence in low-loss modes previously observed at the level of far-field emission pattern comparisons.

description: Combinations of gyroscopic forces and nonequilibrium activity has been explored recently in rectifying energy in networks with complex geometries and topologies [Phys. Rev. X 10, 021036]. Based on this previous work, here we study the effect of added time-periodic modulations. Numerical calculations show that the time-modulated network generates net energy transport between sites and the surroundings, even in the absence of any temperature gradients. Combining path integral formulation and diagrammatic expansion, we explain how such anomalous energy transport emerges, and show how the transport pattern in complex networks can be connected to relatively simple local structures.

description: In light of the recent work by Sahni et al., Harbola, and Gaudoin and Burke, the question of mapping from an excited-state density of a many-electron interacting system to the potential of the related non-interacting system is analyzed. To do so, we investigate the Levy-Nagy criterion quantitatively for several excited-states. Our work indicates that Levy-Nagy criterion may fix the density to potential map uniquely.
Dynamical gauge coupling unification from moduli stabilization

description: In D-brane models, different part of the 4-dimensional gauge group might originate from D-branes wrapping different cycles in the internal space, and then the standard model gauge couplings at the compactification scale are determined by different cycle-volume moduli. We point out that those cycle-volume moduli can naturally have universal vacuum expectation values up to small deviations suppressed by 1/8π^2 if they are stabilized by KKLT-type non-perturbative superpotential. This dynamical unification of gauge couplings is independent of the detailed form of the moduli Kähler potential, but relies crucially on the existence of low energy supersymmetry. If supersymmetry is broken by an uplifting brane as in KKLT compactification, again independently of the detailed form of the moduli Kähler potential, the moduli-mediated gaugino masses at the compactification scale are universal also, and are comparable to the anomaly-mediated gaugino masses. As a result, both the gauge coupling unification at high energy scale and the mirage mediation pattern of soft supersymmetry breaking masses are achieved naturally even when the different sets of the standard model gauge bosons originate from D-branes wrapping different cycles in the internal space.

Helioseismic finite-frequency sensitivity kernels for flows in spherical geometry including systematic effects
Creators: name: Bhattacharya, Jishnu
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Helioseismic inferences of large-scale flows in the solar interior necessitate accounting for the curvature of the Sun, both in interpreting systematic trends introduced in measurements as well as the sensitivity kernel that relates photospheric measurements to subsurface flow velocities. Additionally the inverse problem that relates measurements to model parameters needs to be well-posed to obtain accurate inferences, which necessitates a sparse set of parameters. Further, the sensitivity functions need to be computationally easy to evaluate. In this work we address these issues by demonstrating that the sensitivity kernels for flow velocities may be computed efficiently in a basis of vector spherical harmonics. We are also able to account for line-of-sight projections in Doppler measurements, as well as center-to-limb differences in line-formation heights. We show that given the assumed spherical symmetry of the background model, it is often cheap to simultaneously compute the kernels for pairs of observation points that are related by a rotation. Such an approach is therefore particularly well-suited to inverse problems for large-scale flows in the Sun, such as meridional circulation.

description: We derive a non-asymptotic expression for the moments of traces of monomials in several independent complex Wishart matrices, extending some explicit formulas available in the literature. We then deduce the explicit expression for the cumulants. From the latter, we read out the multivariate normal approximation to the traces of finite families of polynomials in independent complex Wishart matrices.
Improving the Fidelity of Optical Zeno Gates via Distillation

description: We have modelled the Zeno effect Control-Sign gate of Franson et al (PRA 70, 062302, 2004) and shown that high two-photon to one-photon absorption ratios, $κ$, are needed for high fidelity free standing operation. Hence we instead employ this gate for cluster state fusion, where the requirement for $κ$ is less restrictive. With the help of partially offline one-photon and two-photon distillations, we can achieve a fusion gate with unity fidelity but non-unit probability of success. We conclude that for $κ> 2200$, the Zeno fusion gate will out perform the equivalent linear optics gate.

description: We report spectral features of far infrared electromagnetic radiation absorption in anatase TiO2 nanopowders which we attribute to absorption by acoustic phonon modes of nanoparticles. The frequency of peak excess absorption above the background level corresponds to the predicted frequency of the dipolar acoustic phonon from continuum elastic theory. The intensity of the absorption cannot be accounted for in a continuum elastic dielectric description of the nanoparticle material. Quantum mechanical scale dependent effects must be considered. The absorption cross section is estimated from a simple mechanical phenomenological model. The results are in plausible agreement with the absorption being due to a sparse layer of charge on the nanoparticle surface.

description: The problem of the limit shape of large alternating sign matrices (ASMs) is addressed by studying the emptiness formation probability (EFP) in the domain-wall six-vertex model. Assuming that the limit shape arises in correspondence to the `condensation' of almost all solutions of the saddle-point equations for certain multiple integral representation for EFP, a conjectural expression for the limit shape of large ASMs is derived. The case of 3-enumerated ASMs is also considered.

The Irish land question, the international monetary problem, and Archbishop William Walsh, 1881–1896

description:
This article explores the significance to the Irish land question of a controversial issue in late nineteenth-century international political economy – bimetallism. Bimetallists advocated a monetary system that used gold and silver to define currency value rather than gold alone. Archbishop William Walsh’s support for bimetallism is analysed to highlight how Ireland provided a case-study that framed this debate. Walsh believed the gold standard deepened an agrarian crisis that drove the Irish land question. He argued that careful and internationally orchestrated reform of the monetary system offered the means for its resolution. Walsh’s bimetallist views marked him out as an original thinker within Irish nationalism, and his views were debated and adopted by monetary reformers across Britain, Europe, and the United States where they featured during the 1896 Presidential Election. Walsh’s engagement in monetary politics must also be understood within a tradition of Catholic social teaching in which he positioned himself as a critic of financial capitalism. This article contextualizes the Irish land question within wider debates on the role of silver in the global economy and argues that Walsh’s monetary thought reveals him to be a more significant international intellectual than his involvement in Irish politics tends to allow.

description: Field-dependent specific heat and neutron scattering measurements were used to explore the antiferromagnetic S=1/2 chain compound CuCl2 * 2((CD3)2SO). At zero field the system acquires magnetic long-range order below TN=0.93K with an ordered moment of 0.44muB. An external field along the b-axis strengthens the zero-field magnetic order, while fields along the a- and c-axes lead to a collapse of the exchange stabilized order at mu0 Hc=6T and mu0 Hc=3.5T, respectively (for T=0.65K) and the formation of an energy gap in the excitation spectrum. We relate the field-induced gap to the presence of a staggered g-tensor and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions, which lead to effective staggered fields for magnetic fields applied along the a- and c-axes. Competition between anisotropy, inter-chain interactions and staggered fields leads to a succession of three phases as a function of field applied along the c-axis. For fields greater than mu0 Hc, we find a magnetic structure that reflects the symmetry of the staggered fields. The critical exponent, beta, of the temperature driven phase transitions are indistinguishable from those of the three-dimensional Heisenberg magnet, while measurements for transitions driven by quantum fluctuations produce larger values of beta.

Factors and policies affecting demand for light vehicle transportation in the lower mainland of British Columbia
Creators: name: Soucie, Michelle Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: As transportation is a key component of economic success, it is crucial that the transportation systems in the Lower Mainland accommodate, and shape the projected increases in population. This paper has two main objectives. The first is to explore the factors and variables influencing demand for automobile transportation that are unique to the Lower Mainland of BC. General trends and statistics are explored for peak a.m. period automobile demand. The second part of this paper looks at the policies affecting demand for automobile transportation. Economic theory is introduced to two prominent traffic demand management (TDM) policies: road pricing and high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes. Conceptual models are proposed for both policies. In 1993 the GVRD completed the Transport 2021 study. Using data that was generated by the EMME2 model, empirical estimates of consumer surplus changes (resulting from various T DM policies being implemented) are considered under a range of elasticities. Empirical estimates of consumer surplus changes are also calculated for the conceptual models.
