description: We present the first determination of the strong coupling constant from the three-jet rate in e+e- annihilation at LEP, based on a next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) perturbative QCD prediction. More precisely, we extract alpha_s by fitting perturbative QCD predictions at O(alpha_s^3) to data from the ALEPH experiment at LEP. Over a large range of the jet-resolution parameter ycut this observable is characterised by small non-perturbative corrections and an excellent stability under renormalisation scale variation. For the three-jet rate at ln(ycut) = -3.9 we find alpha_s(MZ) = 0.1175 +/- 0.0020(exp) \+/- 0.0015(theo), which is among the most precise determinations from jet observables at LEP.

description: Ultra-thin topological insulators provide a platform of realizing many exotic phenomena such a Quantum spin Hall effect, Quantum anomalous Hall effect, etc. These effects or states are characterized by quantized transport behavior of edge states. Experimentally, although these states have been realized in various systems, the temperature for the edge states to be the dominating channel in transport is extremely low, contrary to the fact that the bulk gap is usually in the order of a few tens of milli-electron volts. There must be other in-gap conduction channels that won't freeze out till a much low temperature. Here we grow ultra-thin topological insulator Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3 films by molecular beam epitaxy and investigate the structures of domain boundaries in these films. By scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy we find that the domain boundaries with large rotation angles have pronounced in-gap bound states, through which one dimensional conduction channels are suggested to form as visualized by spatially resolved spectroscopy. Our work indicates the critical role played by domain boundaries in degrading the transport properties.

description: Dedicated to Professor K. Shiohama on the occasion of his seventieth birthday: This article is the third in a series of our investigation on a complete non-compact connected Riemannian manifold $M$. In the first series [arXiv:0901.4010], we showed that all Busemann functions on an $M$ which is not less curved than a von Mangoldt surface of revolution are exhaustions, if the total curvature of the surface is greater than $π$. A von Mangoldt surface of revolution is, by definition, a complete surface of revolution homeomorphic to Euclidean plane whose Gaussian curvature is non-increasing along each meridian. Our purpose of this series is to generalize the main theorem in [arXiv:0901.4010] to an $M$ which is not less curved than a more general surface of revolution.

description: We present a comparison between Gaussian processes (GPs) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) as methods for determining photometric redshifts for galaxies, given training set data. In particular, we compare their degradation in performance as the training set size is degraded in ways which might be caused by the observational limitations of spectroscopy. We find that performance with large, complete training sets is very similar, although the ANN achieves slightly smaller root mean square errors. If the size of the training set is reduced by random sampling, the RMS errors of both methods increase, but they do so to a lesser extent and in a much smoother manner for the case of GP regression.

description: An electron spin resonance (ESR) and photoluminescence signal is observed in the as grown single crystal of stishovite indicating the presence of defects in the non-irradiated sample. Photoluminescence of the as received stishovite single crystals exhibits two main bands - a blue at 3 eV and an UV at 4.75 eV. Luminescence is excited in the range of optical transparency of stishovite (below 8.75 eV) and, therefore, is ascribed to defects. A wide range of decay kinetics under a pulsed excitation is observed. For the blue band besides the exponential decay with a time constant of about 18 μs an additional ms component is revealed. For the UV band besides the fast component with a time constant of 1-3 ns a component with a decay in tens μs is obtained. The main components (18 μs and 1-3 ns) possess a typical intra-center transition intensity thermal quenching. The effect of the additional slow component is related to the presence of OH groups and/or carbon molecular defects modifying the luminescence center. The additional slow components exhibit wave-like thermal dependences. Photo-thermally stimulated creation-destruction of complex comprising host defect - interstitial modifiers explains slow luminescence wave-like thermal dependences.

description: In 1952 Lee and Yang proposed the program of analyzing phase transitions in terms of zeros of partition functions. Linear operators preserving non-vanishing properties are essential in this program and various contexts in complex analysis, probability theory, combinatorics, and matrix theory. We characterize all linear operators on finite or infinite-dimensional spaces of multivariate polynomials preserving the property of being non-vanishing whenever the variables are in prescribed open circular domains. In particular, this solves the higher dimensional counterpart of a long-standing classification problem originating from classical works of Hermite, Laguerre, Hurwitz and Pólya-Schur on univariate polynomials with such properties.

Personality and value characteristics of volunteers and professionals at three different social service agencies

description: The Personality Research Form-E (Jackson, 1974), the Value Survey (Rokeach, 1967) and the Personal Description Questionnaire (Wiggins, 1976) were administered to 79 volunteers and 32 professionals from three social service agencies., These agencies included Alternatives Drug Abuse Program, a program for the rehabilitation of ex-drug addicts, the Crisis Centre which operated telephone hotlines for individuals experiencing emotional distress, and the St. John Ambulance Brigade which provided emergency help to physical crisis situations. These agencies differed in terms of their service roles which were described as "emotional noncrisis", "emotional crisis" and "physical crisis", respectively. A comparison of the three volunteer groups revealed a significant relationship between agency role and the personality, characteristics of its volunteers. The Alternatives volunteers held self-enhancement values more highly than the St. John group who, in turn, regarded traditional values as more important. The Alternatives group also scored significantly higher on the dimensions of Autonomy, Sentience, and Understanding and lower on Nurturance and Succorance than the St. John group. On all of the dependent measures the scores of the Crisis Centre or "emotional crisis" group fell between those of the other two groups — the "emotional noncrisis" and the "physical crisis" groups. Comparing all volunteers with all professionals revealed differences related to their respective status levels. The differences, wherein the professionals were found to be significantly more dominant, extroverted, exhibitionistic and achievement-oriented, were discussed in terms of the different levels of responsibility assumed by the two groups. A final comparison involved determining how closely the volunteers and professionals from the same agency resembled each other. The results of this investigation revealed that the volunteers were closer, in terms of values and personality, to professionals at their own agencies than to volunteers from other agencies. The implications of these findings towards the development of effective selection, placement and evaluation techniques for volunteers at different agencies were discussed.

Biofilm formation by the anaerobic pathogen Clostridium difficile

Publisher: name: Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna

description: Clostridium difficile is an obligate anaerobic, Gram-positive, endospore-forming bacterium. Although an opportunistic pathogen, it is one of the important causes of healthcare-associated infections. 
While toxins TcdA and TcdB are the main virulence factors of C. difficile, the factors or processes involved in gut colonization during infection remain unclear. The biofilm-forming ability of bacterial pathogens has been associated with increased antibiotic resistance and chronic recurrent infections. Little is known about biofilm formation by anaerobic gut species. Biofilm formation by C. difficile could play a role in virulence and persistence of C. difficile, as seen for other intestinal pathogens. 
We demonstrate that C. difficile clinical strains, 630, and the strain isolated in the outbreak, R20291, form structured biofilms in vitro. Biofilm matrix is made of proteins, DNA and polysaccharide. Strain R20291 accumulates substantially more biofilm. Employing isogenic mutants, we show that virulence-associated proteins, Cwp84, flagella and a putative quorum sensing regulator, LuxS, Spo0A, are required for maximal biofilm formation by C. difficile. Moreover we demonstrate that bacteria in C. difficile biofilms are more resistant to high concentrations of vancomycin, a drug commonly used for treatment of CDI, and that inhibitory and sub-inhibitory concentrations of the same antibiotic induce biofilm formation.
Surprisingly, clinical C. difficile strains from the same out-break, but from different origin, show differences in biofilm formation. Genome sequence analysis of these strains showed presence of a single nucleoide polymorphism (SNP) in the anti-σ factor RsbW, which regulates the stress-induced alternative sigma factor B (σB). We further demonstrate that RsbW, a negative regulator of alternative sigma factor B, has a role in biofilm formation and sporulation of C. difficile.
Our data suggest that biofilm formation by C. difficile is a complex multifactorial process and may be a crucial mechanism for clostridial persistence in the host.

Solvable Critical Dense Polymers on the Cylinder

description: A lattice model of critical dense polymers is solved exactly on a cylinder with finite circumference. The model is the first member LM(1,2) of the Yang-Baxter integrable series of logarithmic minimal models. The cylinder topology allows for non-contractible loops with fugacity alpha that wind around the cylinder or for an arbitrary number ell of defects that propagate along the full length of the cylinder. Using an enlarged periodic Temperley-Lieb algebra, we set up commuting transfer matrices acting on states whose links are considered distinct with respect to connectivity around the front or back of the cylinder. These transfer matrices satisfy a functional equation in the form of an inversion identity. For even N, this involves a non-diagonalizable braid operator J and an involution R=-(J^3-12J)/16=(-1)^{F} with eigenvalues R=(-1)^{ell/2}. The number of defects ell separates the theory into sectors. For the case of loop fugacity alpha=2, the inversion identity is solved exactly for the eigenvalues in finite geometry. The eigenvalues are classified by the physical combinatorics of the patterns of zeros in the complex spectral-parameter plane yielding selection rules. The finite-size corrections are obtained from Euler-Maclaurin formulas. In the scaling limit, we obtain the conformal partition functions and confirm the central charge c=-2 and conformal weights Delta_t=(t^2-1)/8. Here t=ell/2 and t=2r-s in the ell even sectors with Kac labels r=1,2,3,...; s=1,2 while t is half-integer in the ell odd sectors. Strikingly, the ell/2 odd sectors exhibit a W-extended symmetry but the ell/2 even sectors do not. Moreover, the naive trace summing over all ell even sectors does not yield a modular invariant.

description: We present spectroscopic data for 16369 stellar targets within and/or toward 38 dwarf spheroidal galaxies and faint star clusters within the Milky Way halo environment. All spectra come from observations with the multi-object, fiber-fed echelle spectrographs M2FS at the Magellan/Clay telescope or Hectochelle at the MMT, reaching a typical limiting magnitude G < 21. Data products include processed spectra from all observations and catalogs listing estimates -- derived from template model fitting -- of line-of-sight velocity (median uncertainty 1.1 km/s) effective temperature (234 K), (base10 logarithm of) surface gravity (0.52 dex in cgs units), [Fe/H] (0.38 dex) and [Mg/Fe] (0.24 dex) abundance ratios. The sample contains multi-epoch measurements for 3720 sources, with up to 15 epochs per source, enabling studies of intrinsic spectroscopic variability. The sample contains 6078 likely red giant stars (based on surface gravity), and 4494 likely members (based on line-of-sight velocity and Gaia-measured proper motion) of the target systems. The number of member stars per individual target system ranges from a few, for the faintest systems, to ~ 850 for the most luminous. For most systems, our new samples extend over wider fields than have previously been observed; of the likely members in our samples, 823 lie beyond twice the projected halflight radius of their host system, and 42 lie beyond 5 Rhalf.

Scaling of relaxation and excess entropy in plastically deformed amorphous solids

description: When stressed sufficiently, solid materials yield and deform plastically via reorganization of microscopic constituents. Indeed, it is possible to alter the micro-structure of materials by judicious application of stress, an empirical pro- cess utilized in practice to enhance the mechanical properties of metals. Un- derstanding the interdependence of plastic flow and microscopic structure in these non-equilibrium states, however, remains a major challenge. Here, we ex- perimentally investigate this relationship, between the relaxation dynamics and microscopic structure of disordered colloidal solids during plastic deformation. We apply oscillatory shear to solid colloidal monolayers and study their particle trajectories as a function of shear rate in the plastic regime. Under these cir- cumstances, the strain rate, the relaxation rate associated with plastic flow, and the sample microscopic structure oscillate together but with different phases. Interestingly, the experiments reveal that the relaxation rate associated with plastic flow at time t is correlated with the strain rate and sample microscopic structure measured at earlier and later times, respectively. The relaxation rate, in this non-stationary condition, exhibits power-law shear-thinning behavior and scales exponentially with sample excess entropy. Thus, measurement of sample static structure (excess entropy) provides insight about both strain-rate and constituent rearrangement dynamics in the sample at earlier times.

ECN verbose mode: a statistical method for network path congestion estimation

Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Networking and Internet Architecture (cs.NI)

description: This article introduces a simple and effective methodology to determine the level of congestion in a network with an ECN-like marking scheme. The purpose of the ECN bit is to notify TCP sources of an imminent congestion in order to react before losses occur. However, ECN is a binary indicator which does not reflect the congestion level (i.e. the percentage of queued packets) of the bottleneck, thus preventing any adapted reaction. In this study, we use a counter in place of the traditional ECN marking scheme to assess the number of times a packet has crossed a congested router. Thanks to this simple counter, we drive a statistical analysis to accurately estimate the congestion level of each router on a network path. We detail in this paper an analytical method validated by some preliminary simulations which demonstrate the feasibility and the accuracy of the concept proposed. We conclude this paper with possible applications and expected future work.

description: Recently, reputation-based indirect reciprocity has been widely applied to the study on fairness behavior. Previous works mainly investigate indirect reciprocity by considering compulsory participation. While in reality, individuals may choose voluntary participation according to the opponent's reputation. It is still unclear how such reputation-based voluntary participation influences the evolution of fairness. To address this question, we introduce indirect reciprocity with voluntary participation into the dictator game (DG). We respectively consider good dictators or recipients can voluntarily participate in games when the opponents are assessed as bad. We theoretically calculate the fairness level under all social norms of third-order information. Our findings reveal that several social norms induce the high fairness level in both scenarios. However, more social norms lead to a high fairness level for voluntary participation of recipients, compared with the one of good dictators. The results also hold when the probability of voluntary participation is not low. Our results demonstrate that recipients' voluntary participation is more effective in promoting the emergence of fairness behavior.
A translation of eleven poems by John Keats and an introductory essay
Creators: name: Miller, Hedwig
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis is composed of two parts. Part one is an essay on the theoretical aspects of translation, and part two is a translation into German of the following poems by John Keats: Ode to Apollo; Ode to Pan; Ode; Ode to Fanny; To—; Ode to Psyche; Ode on a Grecian Urn; Ode on Indolence; Ode on Melancholy; Ode to a Nightingale; To Autumn. The essay discusses the act, process and function of translation from both a general and a particular point of view. It states that translation is a subjective act which can have no definite guidelines. Its closeness to, or deviation from, the original depends on how the translator perceives his responsibility. His sense of responsibility will be determined by his notion as to the priorities of content and form which he acknowledges as the outward manifestation of an inner essence which he wishes to capture. Whatever his priorities or compromises may be, he must be free to choose as he pleases. For the sake of true communication, there is a need and place for every type of translation. For the sake of creativity, there is his need for personal discovery and growth. In the process of translating, he penetrates to a level of consciousness where his and the author's identities touch. There he receives the gift of 'essence' and brings back from their common meeting ground an intuition thereof. But the atmosphere through which he must pass—his subjectivity—colours the translation with its particular light. The translation can be only a personal and subjective rendering of the original. His subjectivity-should be accepted as inevitable. In his function, the translator is a communicator of ideas and beauty, and indirectly he is an interpreter and a man of letters. By becoming aware of literary and linguistic differences, he comes in touch with more universal questions which may lead him into other fields of inquiry. He is a practicing comparatist, and if he has the power and understanding, he may do much to integrate knowledge and contribute to its advancement. Primarily, however, he is a man of action. He learns to do by doing what he learns to do; but as a man of contemplation he also learns to know by learning how to think about his doings: the act, process and function of his actions.

description: Im Kontext zu Power-to-Gas ist die biologische Methanisierung eine umweltfreundliche Alternative zur katalytischen Methanisierung, um Biomethan oder synthetisches Erdgas aus erneuerbarem Strom und Kohlendioxid zu erzeugen. Dabei ermöglicht die in-situ biologische Methanisierung eine direkte Aufreinigung des Biogases zu Biomethan innerhalb eines anaeroben Fermenters. Diese Form der Methanisierung stellt jedoch hohe Anforderungen an die Wasserstoffdosierung und Prozesskontrolle. Demgegenüber kann die ex-situ biologische Methanisierung in Kombination mit Power-to-Gas eine Alternative zu konventionellen Verfahren zur Entfernung von Kohlendioxid aus Biogas darstellen. Analog zur katalytischen Methanisierung ist sie zudem unabhängig von der Biogaserzeugung mit jeder beliebigen Kohlendioxidquelle kombinierbar.
Aufgrund der mikrobiologischen Umsetzung sind die Methanbildungsraten bei der biologischen Methanisierung geringer als bei der katalytischen Variante. Dafür sind die Anforderungen an das Apparate- und Prozessdesign bei der biologischen Variante deutlich tiefer. Die bisher favorisierten biologischen Reaktoren werden bisher jedoch durch eine erhebliche Stofftransportlimitierung in ihrer Leistungsfähigkeit eingeschränkt. Für einen hinreichenden Vergleich beider Varianten fehlt daher bis heute eine verlässliche Datenbasis. Bei optimalem Reaktordesign wird jede der beiden Varianten ihre Anwendung finden. Im Rahmen des SCCER BIOSWEET erarbeiten Forscher der ZHAW Wädenswil und des Paul-Scherrer-Instituts die erforderlichen Grundlagen zur Bilanzierung und Modellierung beider Varianten. Damit soll es in Zukunft möglich werden, standortspezifisch die optimale Konfiguration für eine Power-to-Gas-Anlage geben zu können.

Allied Indian tribes of British Columbia : a study in pressure group behaviour
Creators: name: Mitchell, Darcy Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this study is to examine the organization and activities of the Allied Indian Tribes of British Columbia and to explore the reasons for which the organization failed to achieve a settlement of its claim to compensation for the loss of aboriginal rights in British Columbia. In preparing this thesis, I have drawn on several works dealing with the early history of the aboriginal rights campaign in British Columbia and the administration of Indian lands in the province. In addition, I have used material from the Provincial Archives of British Columbia and the Public Archives of Canada, as well as a report submitted by the Special Committee of the Senate and House of Commons appointed in 1927 to inquire into the claims of the Allied Tribes. The Allied Tribes was formed in 1916, following numerous unsuccessful attempts by individual Indian bands and small inter-tribal organizations to press the Provincial, Dominion and Imperial authorities to provide compensation for the loss of aboriginal rights to land and resources. The Allied Tribes attempted to marshall all the Indians of the province behind the aboriginal rights claim and to submit that claim for decision by the Judicial Committee of the British Privy Council. It failed in this attempt. Among the reasons for this failure were the Allied Tribes' weak organizational base and its inability to gain effective access to the higher levels of public decision-making. The Allied Tribes was, in addition, dominated by its white legal counsel and other non-Indian advisors, a situation which ultimately alienated much of the Indian membership and resulted in charges by government leaders that the aboriginal rights campaign was instigated by white agitators. Finally, the Allied Tribes insisted that it would accept a settlement of its specific grievances relating to lands, resources and socio-economic improvement only on the basis of recognition by government of the validity, of the claim to aboriginal rights. The Province consistently denied this claim, and the Dominion refused to jeopardize its relations with British Columbia by permitting a judicial adjudication of the claim which might have produced a decision in favour of the Indians.

description: Nonlinear differential equations (DEs) are used in a wide range of scientific problems to model complex dynamic systems. The differential equations often contain unknown parameters that are of scientific interest, which have to be estimated from noisy measurements of the dynamic system. Generally, there is no closed-form solution for nonlinear DEs, and the likelihood surface for the parameter of interest is multi-modal and very sensitive to different parameter values. We propose a Bayesian framework for nonlinear DE systems. A flexible nonparametric function is used to represent the dynamic process such that expensive numerical solvers can be avoided. A sequential Monte Carlo algorithm in the annealing framework is proposed to conduct Bayesian inference for parameters in DEs. In our numerical experiments, we use examples of ordinary differential equations and delay differential equations to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. We developed an R package that is available at https://github.com/shijiaw/smcDE. Supplementary files for this article are available online.

Children’s judgements of agreeing and non-agreeing sentences
Creators: name: Neufeld, Werner
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In English number agreement occurs between the surface subject and the verb of a sentence. Logically, the child must perform two operations to determine whether these lexical items agree. The child must first identify the surface subject and the verb, and secondly determine whether the number features of these items agree. Children are able to perform the first of these operations earlier than they are able to perform the second. To perform the second operation, the child must analyze the relation between the number features of these items. The hypothesis was tested that children will be able to discriminate between agreeing and non-agreeing sentences when they are able to analyze the relation between the number features of lexical items in a sentence. Children were asked to judge the acceptability of various sentences. Two predictions were made. If this hypothesis is correct, children should be able to discriminate between agreeing and non-agreeing sentences at the first point they are able to derive information by analyzing the relation between the number features of lexical items. Secondly, if the point when children can discriminate between agreeing and non-agreeing sentences is contingent upon the acquisition of rules for analyzing the relation between the number features of lexical items, sentence structure should not affect the point at which children are able to do so. Neither of these predictions were confirmed, suggesting that this hypothesis is incorrect. Ss' were able to decode semantic information earlier than they were able to decode agreement, even though both kinds of information are introduced by the relation between the number features of lexical items. Ss' judgements of sentences also indicated that sentence structure does affect the point at which children are able to discriminate between agreeing and non-agreeing sentences. It was suggested that the fact that agreement is a syntactic rule, as opposed to a semantic one, affects or determines the point when children are able to discriminate between agreeing and non-agreeing sentences. It was also suggested that sentence structure may act to constrain the accessibility of inflectional information in a sentence. It was suggested that these factors must be taken into account in a processing model of how children decode agreement.

description: Text segmentation, the task of dividing a document into sections, is often a prerequisite for performing additional natural language processing tasks. Existing text segmentation methods have typically been developed and tested using clean, narrative-style text with segments containing distinct topics. Here we consider a challenging text segmentation task: dividing newspaper marriage announcement lists into units of one announcement each. In many cases the information is not structured into sentences, and adjacent segments are not topically distinct from each other. In addition, the text of the announcements, which is derived from images of historical newspapers via optical character recognition, contains many typographical errors. As a result, these announcements are not amenable to segmentation with existing techniques. We present a novel deep learning-based model for segmenting such text and show that it significantly outperforms an existing state-of-the-art method on our task.
