description: Since the Seventies, Italian and international historiographies on Italian foreign migration have recourse to the subjective sources as letters, interviews, memoirs, diaries, literature and songs. The present writing relates to the memoirs of the Italian migrants who served in the French Foreign Legion during the XX century. In fact, the enrolment in the Legion was the last device to avoid repatriation in front of the most difficult conditions faced by migrants. The first candidates for the Legion among Italians migrants were, during the Thirties, the ";fuorusciti";, the voluntaries of the international brigades defeated at the war of Spain and especially the Italians menaced of repatriation because of unemployment. Many of them volunteered to obtain naturalization and free access in the French labour market. During the Second World War Italian prisoners of war in French ands enlisted in the Legion to escape the terrible conditions of the camps. Just after the end of the war political and common criminals volunteered, but the most part of the Italians engaged were the clandestine migrants to France who accepted to serve in the Legion to avoid prison and repatriation. Their destiny was to fight in the bloody war of Indochina and in the war of Algeria. Here I present seven memoirs of Italians migrants survived to their service in the Legion, fours of them served between the Thirties and the Second World War and three participated in the wars of Indochina and Algeria.

Young children's engagement in self-regulation at school
Creators: name: Hutchinson, Lynda R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Self-regulation involves metacognition, motivation, and strategic action. Children who develop and engage in self-regulation experience positive developmental and educational outcomes. Also, children are more likely to develop and engage in self-regulated learning (SRL) when features of classroom contexts support it. Although research has demonstrated that self-regulation predicts academic achievement, it has not examined; (a) whether teachers distinguish between different aspects of self-regulation, such as emotion regulation (ER), SRL, and socially responsible self-regulation (SRSR); (b) whether and how features of classroom contexts, which have been linked to opportunities for SRL, can also provide opportunities for ER and SRSR; and (c) relationships between individual children’s self-regulation and features of classroom contexts. Therefore, this mixed-method, multi-level study addressed these issues. Data consisted of 19 kindergarten, grade one, and grade 2 teachers’ ratings of 208 children’s ER, SRL, and SRSR and a full day of observations in 17 of the participating classrooms. Quantitative (EFA, HLM) and qualitative (in-depth analysis of classroom observations) analyses were conducted on these data. Results indicated: (a) teachers did not distinguish between the aspects of self-regulation; data converged on a unitary construct of self-regulation; (b) self-regulation predicted academic achievement; (c) older children had higher levels of self-regulation compared to younger children; (d) boys were rated as having lower levels of self-regulation compared to girls; (d) features of classroom contexts provided meaningful opportunities for children’s development of and engagement in ER, SRL, and SRSR; and (e) complex tasks and teacher support were statistically significant predictors of children’s self-regulation—they were implicated in children’s uptake of opportunities to engage in self-regulation during classroom lessons. Implications of this study are discussed. These include: the benefits of designing a wider range of measures and including mixed-method and longitudinal studies to examine trajectories of children’s self-regulation, the low ratings of self-regulation for boys in the early school years, and the role of complex tasks and teacher support in constructing meaningful opportunities for children to develop and engage in adaptive and effective aspects of self-regulation.

description: One of the ways of analysing the relationship between music and emotions in through musical expressiveness.

As the theory I discuss in this paper puts it, expressiveness in a particular kind of music's secondary quality or, to use the term which gives the theory its name, a disposition of music to arouse a certain emotional response in listeners.

The most accurate version of the dispositional theory is provided by Derek Matravers in his book Art and Emotion and in other papers: what I will try to do, then, is to illustrate Matravers theory and claim that it is a good solution to many problems concerning music and its capacity to affect our inner states.

Characterization by Raman and Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure spectroscopies reveal a sp2 hybridized hexagonal carbon lattice in the nanocrystals. Lower growth rates favor the formation of higher quality, larger size multi-layer graphene crystallites on all investigated substrates. The surface morphology is determined by the roughness of the underlying substrate and graphitic monolayer steps are observed by ambient scanning tunneling microscopy.

title: DEPRECATED: A BI-REGIONAL CGE MODEL OF THE SOUTH WEST HOUSING MARKET
Creators: name: KEAST, SARAH-JANE
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 2010

description: Volatility within the UK housing market is thought to be a significant factor driving instability in the wider macro economy. Research investigating the characteristics and behaviour of the housing market has suggested that under supply of housing is one of the key reasons for the high and increasing levels of house prices the nation has recently been experiencing. Consequently, much of the current government's housing policy is aimed at increasing the level of supply by reforming the planning system and increasing investment in the development of new housing. Under supply is also a major concern at the regional level, particularly in the South West, where net inward migration, growth in the number of single person households and growth in the numbers of second homes is placing increasing pressure on the housing market. Understanding the likely effects of any policy changes prior to their implementation is vitally important for a successful outcome and to that end economic analysis has played a significant role in the development of policy at the national level. However, this is not the case at the regional and sub-regional levels where only limited use of economic analysis techniques have been made, partly due to resource issues and partly due to the lack of regional data. In order to partially address the lack of analysis of the regional impacts of the latest housing policies, this study is based upon the development of a mathematical economic model of the South West housing market. This model is then used to estimate the likely impacts of increasing housing supply at both the regional and broad sub-regional levels.

Canadian profit at the expense of human suffering : an analysis of the El Dorado mine in El Salvador
Creators: name: Angel-Mira, Jorge
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The El Dorado gold mine in Cabañas, El Salvador, is regarded as one of the most controversial mining projects in the Americas given the disastrous contaminating effects it will have on the Lempa River, the largest in the country. The role of international organizations, including the World Bank and the Canadian government, is often overlooked in this contamination process. In fact, most Canadians are unaware of their own participation in this mining project and praise extracting companies as champions for international economic development, job creation, material progress, and social programs. In this thesis, I explore the damaging implications of mining disguised as economic development. I examine how this so-called development project, rather than improving the living conditions of the people in San Isidro, is actually degrading their environment, disrupting their social fabric, bringing them illness, and even causing them death, among other calamities.

description: The increasing demand for construction has led to rapid urbanization. In recent years, high-rise design typology has been explored and accepted as a design solution for these high densities and high population urban areas. These buildings are subjected to significant environmental interactions and are required to respond to the environmental criteria; Strategically planned buildings are necessary for the better-performing design solutions. Thus, this research aims to identify design strategies that can be implemented to optimize the building morphology of a skyscraper concerning environmental criteria such as solar radiations, daylight, illuminance, wind flow, ventilation, and precipitation.
The study’s key factor is to develop an optimization framework for the built-morphology of a Skyscraper, which is examined for environmental analysis via energy modeling plug-in(s)/software(s). The morphogenesis of the skyscraper designs derives an optimized solution through the generative design process. The genetic design approach applies the principles of natural evolution to develop design alternatives iteratively. It accommodates the three operators’ selection, crossover, and mutation to generate solutions and assess them based on design objectives. Each identified design strategy is evaluated based on its specific climatic context. The study centers on the potential this approach holds for early design stages and proposes a new systematic design approach for applying these design strategies in optimizing the built-morphology for skyscraper typology, which can further be applied to any development with a similar scope.

description: This thesis traces the development and impact of Brecht's dramatic art on the modem British theatre. The first chapter discusses and defines the main themes and dramaturgical concepts that characterize Brechtian theatre. The second chapter describes Brecht's reception in England. It articulates the relationship between Brecht and the British theatre since it began in 1933 when Brecht's play Anna Anna (later called The Seven Deadly Sins) was performed at the Savoy Theatre. This chapter also demonstrates the kinds of changes Brecht introduced into British dramatic art, using key British playwrights as examples--John Arden, Howard Brenton, and Caryl Churchill. The Brechtian legacy to contemporary British drama provided playwrights with stimulating ideas and models of dramaturgy.

The final two chapters focus on Edward Bond--a major British political dramatist who best reflects Brecht's influence on the modem British theatre. Chapter Three demonstrates how Edward Bond has extended Brecht's Epic Theatre, adapting and updating it to fit contemporary social conditions that were different from those affecting Brecht's approach. The last plays Bond wrote are a trilogy entitled The War Plays (1985). Since almost no critical work exists on Brecht's influence on Bond's The War Plays, Chapter Four of the thesis is devoted to a critical discussion of the different Brechtian elements in these plays. Finally, the conclusion shows that Brecht has played a crucial role in the direction taken by the British theatre in general and Edward Bond in particular.

description: We explore the quantum correlation distribution in multipartite quantum states based on the square of quantum discord (SQD). For tripartite quantum systems, we derive the necessary and sufficient condition for the SQD to satisfy the monogamy relation. Particularly, we prove that the SQD is monogamous for three-qubit pure states, based on which a genuine tripartite quantum correlation measure is introduced. In addition, we also address the quantum correlation distributions in four-qubit pure states. As an example, we investigate multipartite quantum correlations in the dynamical evolution of multipartite cavity-reservoir systems.

description: A proper vertex-colouring of a graph G is said to be locally identifying if for any pair u,v of adjacent vertices with distinct closed neighbourhoods, the sets of colours in the closed neighbourhoods of u and v are different. We show that any graph G has a locally identifying colouring with $2Δ^2-3Δ+3$ colours, where $Δ$ is the maximum degree of G, answering in a positive way a question asked by Esperet et al. We also provide similar results for locally identifying colourings which have the property that the colours in the neighbourhood of each vertex are all different and apply our method to the class of chordal graphs.
title: DEPRECATED: A DIGITAL FILTER/ESTIMATOR FOR THE CONTROL OF LARGE SHIPS IN CONFINED WATERS
Creators: name: Dove, Michael John
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1984

description: Aeronautical and marine casualty statistics indicate that the human being, when under stress or at times of peak load, can be a poor co-ordinator of the information available to him, particularly when that information is from a number of different source:, as is often the case in modern ships. Integration and co-ordination of information and its useful application in a closed loop feedback system can reduce the probability of accident as has already been demonstrated in the case of automatic landing systems for aircraft. This thesis describes the development of a digital filter/estimator for use in conjunction with an optimal controller in the automatic guidance of large ships in the approaches to a port. A non-linear mathematical model of a ship is developed and validated by comparison with data from an actual ship. The model is then used in digital computer simulations of the passage of a twin screw car ferry into the Port of Plymouth. The simulations show that the control and guidance system is capable of safely navigating the vessel along the predetermined track through noisy measurements of position, course and speed, A reduced non-linear digital simulation model is then used in the design of a minimum variance filter suitable for installation in a physical model of the car ferry. Tests with this physical model confirm the earlier full scale digital computer simulations, showing that a minimum variance filter is capable of giving very good estimates of the measured states, even though the measurement subsystems are unable to give accurate information because of noise. In the event of a malfunction of one or more of these measurement systems it is shown that the filter continues to give good estimates of all the states.

Sampled forms of functional PCA in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces

description: We consider the sampling problem for functional PCA (fPCA), where the simplest example is the case of taking time samples of the underlying functional components. More generally, we model the sampling operation as a continuous linear map from $\mathcal{H}$ to $\mathbb{R}^m$, where the functional components to lie in some Hilbert subspace $\mathcal{H}$ of $L^2$, such as a reproducing kernel Hilbert space of smooth functions. This model includes time and frequency sampling as special cases. In contrast to classical approach in fPCA in which access to entire functions is assumed, having a limited number m of functional samples places limitations on the performance of statistical procedures. We study these effects by analyzing the rate of convergence of an M-estimator for the subspace spanned by the leading components in a multi-spiked covariance model. The estimator takes the form of regularized PCA, and hence is computationally attractive. We analyze the behavior of this estimator within a nonasymptotic framework, and provide bounds that hold with high probability as a function of the number of statistical samples n and the number of functional samples m. We also derive lower bounds showing that the rates obtained are minimax optimal.

description: We present a method to design a finite decay rate for excited rotational states in polar molecules. The setup is based on a hybrid system of polar molecules with atoms driven into a Rydberg state. The atoms and molecules are coupled via the strong dipolar exchange interaction between two rotation levels of the polar molecule and two Rydberg states. Such a controllable decay rate opens the way to optically pump the hyperfine levels of polar molecules and it enables the application of conventional laser cooling techniques for cooling polar molecules into quantum degeneracy.

description: Power symmetric matrices defned and studied by R. Sinkhorn (1981) and their generalization by R.B. Bapat, S.K. Jain and K. Manjunatha Prasad (1999) have been utilized to give positive block matrices with trace one possessing positive partial transpose, the so-called PPT states. Another method to construct such PPT states is given, it uses the form of a matrix unitarily equivalent to its transpose obtained by S.R. Garcia and J.E. Tener (2012). Evolvement or suppression of separability or entanglement of various levels for a quantum dynamical semigroup of completely positive maps has been studied using Choi-Jamiolkowsky matrix of such maps and the famous Horodecki's criteria (1996). A Trichotomy Theorem has been proved, and examples have been given that depend mainly on generalized Choi maps and clearly distinguish the levels of entanglement breaking.

Absorbing Phenomena and Escaping Time for Muller's Ratchet in Adaptive Landscape

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Populations and Evolution (q-bio.PE)

description: Background: The accumulation of deleterious mutations of a population directly contributes to the fate as to how long the population would exist, a process often described as Muller's ratchet with the absorbing phenomenon. The key to understand this absorbing phenomenon is to characterize the decaying time of the fittest class of the population. Adaptive landscape introduced by Wright, a re-emerging powerful concept in systems biology, is used as a tool to describe biological processes. To our knowledge, the dynamical behaviors for Muller's ratchet over the full parameter regimes are not studied from the point of the adaptive landscape. And the characterization of the absorbing phenomenon is not yet quantitatively obtained without extraneous assumptions as well. Results: We describe the dynamical behavior of the population exposed to Muller's ratchet in all parameters regimes by adaptive landscape. The adaptive landscape has rich structures such as finite and infinite potential, real and imaginary fixed points. We give the formula about the single click time with finite and infinite potential. And we find the single click time increases with selection rates and population size increasing, decreases with mutation rates increasing. These results provide a new understanding of infinite potential. We analytically demonstrate the adaptive and unadaptive states for the whole parameters regimes. Interesting issues about the parameters regions with the imaginary fixed points is demonstrated. This can help understand the biological meaning of the critical points such as the intersection points of regimes. Most importantly, we find that the absorbing phenomenon is characterized by the adaptive landscape and the single click time without any extraneous assumptions. These results suggest a graphical and quantitative framework to study the absorbing phenomenon.

Creators: name: Spicer, David Philip
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth

Subjects: Knowledge transfer
Performance Management Psychology

description: Organisational learning is seen by many to be a key determinant of organisational performance. This is demonstrated by the growth of the 'learning company' concept (Pedler et al. 1991), and by the suggestion that the ability to learn faster than one's competitors is the only sustainable competitive advantage (DeGeus 1988). Consequently, organisations need to integrate and maximise the knowledge and learning of their individuals, and central to the learning process in firms is an effective means of transferring knowledge and learning between individuals and their organisation as a whole. Mental models (individual and shared) have been postulated as a mechanism through which this occurs (Senge 1990a; Kim 1993; Hayes and Allinson 1998). An individual mental model can be characterised as a simplification or representation of understanding of an idea, notion, process or system which provides the cognitive framework in which that individual's knowledge in respect of that issue is stored, whilst shared (group or organisational) mental models can be characterised as the common elements that exist between individual mental models. Both of these have been theoretically linked with individual and organisational learning. Literature in respect of individual and organisational learning, mental models and a third issue cognitive style is reviewed. Cognitive style represents the way individuals obtain, store and operationalise knowledge, and is included here as it is recognised as potentially affecting how learning and mental models interact (Hayes and Allinson 1998). A research model is posited which integrates key theory in respect of these three concepts, and research undertaken in two phases is presented. Phase One focused upon the representation of individual and shared mental models through semi-structured causal interviews with senior mangers in participant organisations, whilst Phase Two involved organisation wide surveys of these models, aspects of learning and cognitive style. Results obtained suggest that the complexities of an organisation, its environment, learning and mental models all mitigate against the identification of a simple relationship between these constructs. However some of the sources of these complexities are identified and suggested, and it is posited that the progression of work addressing organisational learning would best be served through a case study approach addressing the sources of complexity and effectiveness of learning in relation to specific mental models and within organisations.

description: We present models of new physics that can explain the muon g-2 anomaly in accord with with the assumption that the only scalar existing at the weak scale is the Higgs, as suggested by anthropic selection. Such models are dubbed "charged see-saw" because the muon mass term is mediated by heavy leptons. The electroweak contribution to the g-2 gets modified by order one factors, giving an anomaly of the same order as the observed hint, which is strongly correlated with a modification of the Higgs coupling to the muon.

Tandem modular protein-based hydrogels as extracellular matrix mimetic biomaterials
Creators: name: Lv, Shanshan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: New generations of protein-based hydrogels are being developed rapidly over the last several decades for potential applications in biomedicine as well as basic biological studies. Protein-based hydrogels have been explored as synthetic extracellular matrices (ECM) for applications in cell culture and tissue regeneration. A variety of proteins, including silk protein, fibrin, collagen and elastin have been studied. Most of these proteins are non-globular proteins. However, a large number of ECM proteins are tandem modular proteins that consist of many individually folded domains. We hypothesize that tandem modular proteins may also be used in constructing novel hydrogels that can mimic the physical and biochemical characteristics of natural extracellular matrices. In this dissertation, we explored the feasibility of using tandem modular proteins for constructing protein-based biomaterials. First, through self-assembly of two complementary leucine zipper sequences, artificial tandem modular proteins were engineered to form physically cross-linked hydrogels mimicking ECM. Going a step further, a photochemical cross-linking strategy is employed to covalently cross-link engineered artificial elastomeric protein to biomaterials that exhibit mechanical properties mimicking the passive elasticity of muscles. To optimize the biocompatibility of the tandem modular protein-based hydrogels, a protein domain which contains cell-binding sequences is used to construct ECM-mimetic hydrogels. The hydrogels can support cell adhension. Our result also suggests a possible method to design functional hydrogels. To prove the possibility of designing functional hydrogels, an xylanase was used to design enzymatic hydrogels. Our result shows that the enzymes remain active after being cross-linked into hydrogels. The possibility was further proved by fluorescent hydrogels designed from tandem modular protein based on Cyan Fluorescent Protein (CFP) and Yellow Fluorescent Protein (YFP). The fluorescent hydrogels can be applied as force sensors in cells with picoNewton (pN) sensitivity.

description: For n>1, let G(n)=σ(n)/(n log log n), where σ(n) is the sum of the divisors of n. We prove that the Riemann Hypothesis is true if and only if 4 is the only composite number N satisfying G(N) \ge \max(G(N/p),G(aN)), for all prime factors p of N and all multiples aN of N. The proof uses Robin's and Gronwall's theorems on G(n). An alternate proof of one step depends on two properties of superabundant numbers proved using Alaoglu and Erdős's results.

description: We classify all tilting and cotilting classes over commutative noetherian rings in terms of descending sequences of specialization closed subsets of the Zariski spectrum. Consequently, all resolving subcategories of finitely generated modules of bounded projective dimension are classified. We also relate our results to Hochster's conjecture on the existence of finitely generated maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules.

description: We study the equation of state in 2+1 flavor QCD with nonperturbatively improved Wilson quarks coupled with the RG-improved Iwasaki glue. We apply the $T$-integration method to nonperturbatively calculate the equation of state by the fixed-scale approach. With the fixed-scale approach, we can purely vary the temperature on a line of constant physics without changing the system size and renormalization constants. Unlike the conventional fixed-$N_t$ approach, it is easy to keep scaling violations small at low temperature in the fixed scale approach. We study 2+1 flavor QCD at light quark mass corresponding to $m_π/m_ρ\simeq 0.63$, while the strange quark mass is chosen around the physical point. Although the light quark masses are heavier than the physical values yet, our equation of state is roughly consistent with recent results with highly improved staggered quarks at large $N_t$.
