description: The most important for the stability of Europe and Czech milk market is to remain competitive in world markets, as the main way for balance on the internal market is based on successful export of dairy products to third countries. Price volatility and environmental sustainability are seen as the most serious current problems in the dairy industry and dairy farming. The aim of this paper is to assess the development of the production and milk prices in the EU and assess the main factors that affect labour productivity. The number of cows per worker is one of the most important factors affecting labour productivity. Effect of prices on labour productivity in monetary expression is not as significant as is usually assumed. The technical equipment of labour should be an important factor influencing the number of cows per worker. The hypothesis that higher technical equipment of labour should create better conditions for higher productivity could be assumed.

title: Bosnia and Herzegovina: a study of the effects of social and political change on primary schooling, 1878 – 2002
Creators: name: Owen-Jackson, Gwyneth Ann
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2007

description: This study investigates the effects of social and political change on primary teaching in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The study considers the literature relating to educational developments in post-communist countries in political and economic transition. From the literature key themes were developed as a basis from which the data could be interrogated. The themes relate to how: (i) in times of transition or conflict, schools become arenas for competing forces; (ii) educational reform follows a series of stages and successful implementation requires supporting factors; (iii) micro-level change takes longer to implement than macro-level change; (iv) transition affects teachers’ remuneration and status, and (v) international organisations’ involvement in mediating conflict resolution agreements can have consequences for education. Analysis of the data illustrates the influence of various ideologies on primary education in Bosnia. In particular, religion and nationalism constantly challenge other forces for control of education. The study suggests that many models of educational reform do not take account of multi-dimensional contexts, where political and economic transition is accompanied by civil war and the transition to a new nation state. The analysis demonstrates that micro-level change in education does not always take time to implement, particularly in highly-centralised systems, and that micro-level change can occur prior to macro-level change. Economic transition is shown to impact on teachers’ remuneration. This has a negative effect on teachers’ status, exacerbated when the political and social context reduces the value accorded teachers. This has consequences for teacher recruitment and quality. The study also suggests that international organisations’ mediation in conflict resolution can impact on education. In Bosnia the evidence indicates that the political structure created has hindered decision-making and contributed to the ethnic division of the country. This study contributes to knowledge on educational developments in central and eastern Europe by providing an analysis of the Bosnian experience. It also contributes to literature on educational reform and questions existing models. The study also adds to literature on the role of international organisations in the globalisation of educational provision.
Tragedy at Home and Homeless: Between Politics and Aesthetics
Creators: name: Goff, Barbara
Publisher: name: Frammenti sulla Scena (online)
Year: 2021

description: For this paper I shall look at ways of coordinating politics and entertainment, or in slightly other terms aesthetics and politics, as they have been used to construct ancient tragedy as a means to the good society. In my title this aspect of tragedy is identified as “home”, to indicate tragedy’s preoccupation with community. This is a note repeatedly struck in discourse about tragedy, both by the earliest commentators and by those negotiating the development of the nation-state, and of political reform, in the eighteenth, nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This essay thus first considers some of the different ways in which tragedy has been associated with the goal of the good community, by the theoretical works of Plato, Aristotle, Schlegel, Williams and Eagleton, as well as by harnessing productions and performances to the political effort of nation-building. The essay will then contrastingly explore tragedy’s “homelessness”, the ways in which it uproots its characters and sets them in restless motion. These latter reflections are prompted by recent receptions of tragedy that have responded to the global migrant crisis, and that are thus in dialogue with earlier critical understandings of tragedy which were more likely to foreground a sense of civic identity associated with the polis. I thus consider productions of Aeschylus’ Suppliant Women in Syracuse and Edinburgh, and the new ancient trilogy, acted by Syrian women refugees, which has unfolded since 2013, in the Middle East and Europe, under the creative guidance of Omar Abu Saada and Mohammad Al Attar. The new focus is born of and gives voice to new global realities. Barbara Goff is Professor of Classics at the University of Reading, UK. She has published extensively on Greek tragedy and its reception, especially in postcolonial contexts. Her most important books include Your Secret Language: classics in the British colonies of West Africa (London: Bloomsbury, 2013), Crossroads in the Black Aegean: Oedipus, Antigone, and dramas of the African diaspora (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2007), and The Noose of Words: Readings of Desire, Violence and Language in Euripides' Hippolytos (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1990). Her most recent publication is a collection, co-edited with Introduction, titled Classicising Crisis: the modern age of revolutions and the Greco-Roman repertoire (London: Routledge, 2020).

description: This paper is focused on the supply of the Czech producers of bottled quality white wine. Namely, a dependence of their sales of this wine category on the market price of bottled quality white wine was examined. Monthly data from the CZSO and SZIF database, years 2004–2012, were used for the price-supply analysis. Price-supply reactions of the Czech wine producers were investigated through two-stage cointegration method developed by Engle and Granger. Short-term and long-term price elasticity of studied market supply was based on the error correction model designed and statistically verified by the authors.

description: Provision of efficient, reliable, and affordable infrastructure is essential for economic growth. Transportation infrastructure in particular, is vital to the prosperity of regions. To investigate the relationship and the direction of causality between transport infrastructure, investment in infrastructure and economic growth, we use panel cointegration analysis and panel causality analysis for three countries Armenia, Turkey, and Georgia. We use annual data of Armenia, Turkey and Georgia for the period 1982-2010.The tests proved the existence of more than one cointegrating vector indicating that the system under examination is stationary in more than one direction. The VECM results showed that gross capital formation and road/rail goods transported have a positive and statistically significant impact on economic growth in the short- run. Overall, the existence of bidirectional causality between economic growth and infrastructure investment, and between road and rail passengers carried and infrastructure investment was indicated in both the short and long-run.

description: The paper deals with the analysis of productivity and efficiency differences between Czech and Slovak milk producers. The estimate of stochastic metafrontier multiple output distance function revealed that both Czech and Slovak milk producers highly exploit their production possibilities. On the other hand, productivity differences were pronounced. The Slovak regions were found being falling behind. Only the West Slovak regions can keep pace with competitors. The Central Bohemia and Moravian-Silesian regions are the most productive regions. We found that technical efficiency and management component are the most important factors determining the regional differences.

description: We present the results of a new spectroscopic and photometric survey of the central region of the galaxy cluster A3921 (z=0.094). We detect the presence of two dominant clumps of galaxies: a main cluster centred on the BCG (A3921-A), and a NW sub-cluster (A3921-B) hosting the second brightest cluster galaxy. The distorted morphology of the two sub-clusters suggests that they are interacting, while the velocity distribution of 104 confirmed cluster members does not reveal strong signatures of merging. By applying a two-body dynamical formalism to the two sub-clusters of A3921, and by comparing our optical results to the X-ray analysis of A3921 based on XMM observations (Belsole et al. 2004), we conclude that A3921-B is probably tangentially traversing the main cluster along a SW/NE direction. Our estimate of the star formation properties of the cluster members reveals substantial fractions of both emission-line (~13%) and post-star-forming objects (k+a's,~16%). A lack of bright k+a's with respect to higher redshift clusters is observed, while the fraction of k+a's increases towards fainter magnitudes. The spatial and velocity distributions of k+a's galaxies, their red colours and their moderate Balmer absorption lines suggest that their presence is difficult to relate to the on-going merging event. Star forming galaxies, which are mostly concentrated in A3921-B and between the two sub-clusters, share neither the same kinematics, nor the same projected distribution of the passive cluster members. Their spectral properties may be at least partly realted to the ongoing merger.

description: This paper applied the stochastic profit frontier model to estimate economic efficiency of 199 small-scale commercial broiler producers in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. Farm-level data was obtained from the producers through a multi-stage sampling technique. Results indicate that broiler producers are not fully economically efficient. The mean economic efficiency was 69 percent, implying that opportunity exist for broiler producers to increase their economic efficiency level through better use of available resources. Age of producer, extension contact, market age of broiler and credit access were found to significantly influence economic efficiency in broiler production. Policy measures directed at these factors to enhance economic efficiency of broiler producers are recommendable.

Θεωρία ed esperienza teatrale: azioni rituali dentro e fuori dalla scena tragica
Creators: name: Mugelli, Gloria
Publisher: name: Frammenti sulla Scena (online)
Year: 2021

description: Taking part in the ritual actions of the Great Dionysia (θεωρεῖν) did not only mean parading in the large πομπή, sharing portions of the sacrifice or participating in night dances and drinking [Pickard-Cambridge 1968]. A great number of people took their part in the festival simply watching the procession or the sacrifice, or attending the choruses and the dramatic performances [Jameson 1999, Parker 2005]. Being a choral performance, Athenian tragedy certainly has its ritual dimension [Calame 2017]. However, the relationship between the events represented in the drama and the festival for Dionysus is not always straightforward: the tragic plots rarely touch on themes coherent with the Dionysiac nature of the festival; moreover the dramatic rituals do not correspond to the ritual actions of the Great Dionysia. This paper aims to focus on the ritual experiences of the participants at the Dionysia, spectators of the tragic performances, analyzing some case studies where the dramatic actions interfere with the ritual and festive context. We will focus, in particular, on the characters that assume the role of θεωροί, moving into the scenic and extrascenic space to perform a ritual, attend a festival, visit a shrine [Rutherford 2014]. The absence and return of a θεωρός are used, in the Oedipus Rex and the Hippolytus, to compare a distant festival context with the tragic events represented onstage. In tragedies set in a sacred space, such as the Ion or the Oedipus at Colonus, the entrances and the exits of these characters, and their ineffective ritual intentions, influence the evolution of the dramatic action.Considering the θεωρία as the basic form of ritual agency, we will observe how the movements of the θεωροί intersect the tragic scene, and are exploited by the tragic authors to build their dramatic plots. Gloria Mugelli ha discusso nel novembre 2018 la tesi di dottorato “Spazi drammatici e pratiche rituali: forma e funzionamento dei riti nella tragedia attica”, in cui ha studiato come i riti vengono rappresentati o descritti sulla scena tragica, e le modalità con cui le azioni rituali intrecciano le dinamiche della performance drammatica. La tesi è stata discussa all’Università di Pisa in cotutela con Paris Sciences et Lettres, sotto la guida di C. Carastro; F. Lissarrague e A. Taddei. Per la sua ricerca dottorale ha sviluppato, in collaborazione con l’ILC-CNR di Pisa, un sistema digitale di annotazione e retrieval per i testi antichi (EuporiaRAGT). Gloria Mugelli è attualmente docente di ruolo in una scuola secondaria di secondo grado, continua a portare avanti i suoi studi nel campo dell’antropologia del mondo antico e delle Digital Humanities, lavorando al progetto EuporiaEDU, applicazione didattica del sistema di annotazione Euporia.

We construct flow equations for the partition functions of the deformed theory, the solutions to which yields the deformed partition functions as integral of the undeformed partition function weighted by some kernels. The kernel formula turns out to be very useful in studying the deformed two-point functions and analyzing the thermodynamics of the deformed theory. Finally, we show that a non-perturbative UV completion of the deformed theory is given by minimally coupling the undeformed theory to worldline gravity and $U(1)$ gauge theory.

WHAT IS BEHIND BIASED TECHNICAL CHANGE IN PRODUCTION OF CEREAL AND OILSEED CROPS IN SLOVAKIA?

description: This study investigates the productivity change in the production of cereal and oilseed crops in Slovakia with special emphasis on technical change analysis. It employs a non-parametric distance function approach to measure Malmquist productivity index which is decomposed into technical efficiency change and technical change. Technical change is further decomposed into technical change magnitude and input- and output-bias indices. The productivity change components provide more detailed information about character of productivity change itself and its sources. Our results indicate that productivity in the analysed sector decreased approximately by 20% within the examined period of 1998-2007. The decrease was caused mostly by worsening the technical change (-41,6%). Indices of input- and output bias of technical change were various from unity what suggests that technical change was not Hicks’- neutral. Results of further analysis of the direction of technical change bias indicate that farms in average tend to apply fertilizers-using/seed-saving, seed-using/labour-saving, and fertilizers-using/labour-saving technical change bias over the whole sample period, as well as in the EU pre-accession and EU post-accession periods.

title: Designing for Shareable Interfaces in the Wild

Publisher: name: The Open University

description: Despite excitement about the potential of interactive tabletops to support collaborative work, there have been few empirical demonstrations of their effectiveness (Marshall et al., 2011). In particular, while lab-based studies have explored the effects of individual design features, there has been a dearth of studies evaluating the success of systems in the wild. For this technology to be of value, designers and systems builders require a better understanding of how to develop and evaluate tabletop applications to be deployed in real world settings. This dissertation reports on two systems designed through a process that incorporated ethnography-style observations, iterative design and in the wild evaluation. The first study focused on collaborative learning in a medical setting. To address the fact that visitors to a hospital emergency ward were leaving with an incomplete understanding of their diagnosis and treatment, a system was prototyped in a working Emergency Room (ER) with doctors and patients. The system was found to be helpful but adoption issues hampered its impact. The second study focused on a planning application for visitors to a tourist information centre. Issues and opportunities for a successful, contextually-fitted system were addressed and it was found to be effective in supporting group planning activities by novice users, in particular, facilitating users’ first experiences, providing effective signage and offering assistance to guide the user through the application. This dissertation contributes to understanding of multi-user systems through literature review of tabletop systems, collaborative tasks, design frameworks and evaluation of prototypes. Some support was found for the claim that tabletops are a useful technology for collaboration, and several issues were discussed. Contributions to understanding in this field are delivered through design guidelines, heuristics, frameworks, and recommendations, in addition to the two case studies to help guide future tabletop system creators.

Una comicità dissonante. Qualche riflessione sui finali di Aristofane (425-421 a.C.)
Creators: name: Ceccarelli, Stefano
Publisher: name: Frammenti sulla Scena (online)
Year: 2021

description: This paper offers an analysis of the closing scenes from the extant comedies staged by Aristophanes between 425 and 421 BC, i.e. Acharnians, Knights, Clouds, Wasps, and Peace. In these comedies Aristophanes displays a remarkable variety in the structure and staging of the closing scenes. Moreover, the poet plays on the variation of some traditional comic features, like the contrast between two opponents and the expulsion of a sort of scapegoat (pharmakos) from the scene. These traditional features are particularly evident in those comedies staged at the Lenaia (i.e. Acharnians, Knights, and Wasps), a festival whose audience were mostly the people living in Athens and in its neighborhood. Peace’s finale, although shares some features in common with the aforementioned comedies, displays a more complex staging, especially with regards to the chorus. Probably, the explanation is that the Peace was staged at the Great Dionysia, the most famous Athenian festival which also the foreigners attended to. The Clouds, staged for the first time at the Great Dionysia in 423 BC, were re-written after a painful defeat. Clouds’ second version presents a problematic finale, that shares some features in common with the ‘Lenaian’ closing scenes. Stefano Ceccarelli è dottore di ricerca in Filologia e Storia dell’Antichità (XXXI ciclo) presso “Sapienza” Università di Roma. Come dissertazione di dottorato ha curato un’edizione critica con commento di due commedie di Aristofane: Commedia antica e campagna attica. I Contadini e le Navi mercantili di Aristofane. Tale lavoro prevede anche un’ampia e articolata introduzione sul tema dei campagnoli e dell’idealizzazione della campagna attica nel dramma ateniese di V sec. a. C. I suoi principali àmbiti di ricerca sono: Aristofane, la sua produzione frammentaria e quella dei commediografi dell’archaia; la figura del campagnolo e il tema dell’idealizzazione della campagna attica nel dramma tragico, comico e satiresco del V sec. a. C.; Euripide e la sua produzione integra e frammentaria, anche come fonte per la poesia di Ovidio (in particolare le Heroides). Ha tenuto relazioni presso licei e università italiane e straniere (fra cui Roma “Sapienza” e “Tor Vergata”, Urbino, Padova, Zadar e Lione), con interventi su Aristofane, Euripide, Ovidio e il teatro musicale operistico.

description: The production of food employs different kinds of biotechnologies, some of which are more controversial than others. The public and the agrifood sector have developed a number of responses to address their concerns about biotechnologies considered controversial. In this contribution the different strategies chosen by the agrifood sector in the EU in response to the introduction of new biotechnologies in the agrifood complex will be discussed. The contribution concentrates on the example of the introduction of genetically engineered crops and the strategic responses by the EU food industry, namely food processors and food retailers. The contribution concludes with an outlook on the future of the EU agrifood complex.

description: The Natura 2000 network is the cornerstone of the EU Biodiversity Strategy aimed at halting the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. Yet in many EU Member States the level of development and execution of management plans and conservation measures of Natura 2000 sites is often very low due to scarce financial resources; for this reason management effectiveness is rarely achieved. This paper presents initial insights from the Life+ MGN project and highlights the costs and benefits associated with 2 out of 21 Natura 2000 study sites in Italy in order to present a new governance approach relying on the qualitative and quantitative valuation of Ecosystem Services (ES). Preliminary results suggest that the quantification of costs and benefits related to the Natura 2000 network is crucial for reaching Natura 2000 conservation objectives and measuring management effectiveness.

However, many existing approaches to modeling biological neural networks rely on computationally expensive models and tend to focus solely on the nervous system, often neglecting the biomechanics of the periphery. As a consequence, while these models are excellent tools for neuroscience, they fail to predict functional behavior in real time, which is a critical capability for robotic control. To meet the need for real-time multifunctional control, we have developed a hybrid Boolean model framework capable of modeling neural bursting activity and simple biomechanics at speeds faster than real time. Using this approach, we present a multifunctional model of Aplysia californica feeding that qualitatively reproduces three key feeding behaviors (biting, swallowing, and rejection), demonstrates behavioral switching in response to external sensory cues, and incorporates both known neural connectivity and a simple bioinspired mechanical model of the feeding apparatus. We demonstrate that the model can be used for formulating testable hypotheses and discuss the implications of this approach for robotic control and neuroscience.

Measurement of the Cross Section of W-boson pair production at LEP
Creators: name: L3 Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The cross section of W-boson pair-production is measured with the L3 detector at LEP. In a data sample corresponding to a total luminosity of 629.4/pb, collected at centre-of-mass energies ranging from 189 to 209 GeV, 9834 four-fermion events with W bosons decaying into hadrons or leptons are selected. The total cross section is measured with a precision of 1.4 % and agrees with the Standard Model expectation. Assuming charged-lepton universality, the branching fraction for hadronic W-boson decays is measured to be: Br(W-->hadrons) = 67.50 +- 0.42 (stat.) +- 0.30(syst.) %, in agreement with the Standard Model. Differential cross sections as a function of the W- production angle are also measured for the semi-leptonic channels qqev and qqmv.
Food, Expulsion, And the Polis In Aristophanes’ 'Birds'
Creators: name: Credo, Brian V.

description: This paper will argue that Aristophanes’ Birds repeatedly makes use of a conceptual connection between food and expulsive practices, such as φαρμακός ritual, exile, and the casting out of unburied or exhumed corpses. Food is prominent in accounts of some of these practices, and Aristophanes’ play shows that it is semantically connected to all of them. Euelpides’ initial speech casts him and Peisetaerus’ journey as a self-expulsion ἐς κόρακας (“to the crows”). The phrase wishes for an enemy’s corpse to be devoured by birds instead of receiving a proper burial. The birds behave exactly as expected, then, when they threaten to devour the ‘expelled’ Peisetaerus and Euelpides. Furthermore, as they do so, they use language reminiscent of Hipponax’s description of a φαρμακός-like figure. Later, the chorus issues a decree against Philocrates, a seller of birds to eat, comparing him to the tyrants and Diagoras the Melian. Such decrees often acted as de facto expulsions and served notionally as a guard against tyranny and subversion of democracy. Peisetaerus’ plan to starve the gods with a λιμός Μήλιος (“Melian famine”) not only recalls Diagoras’ notorious impiety, for which he was exiled, but also resembles the expulsion of the personified Hunger in φαρμακός ritual and ostracism. Intruder scenes, with their physical beatings designed to expel hungry and rapacious figures from the stage, also closely resemble these expulsive practices. In the play’s final scene, Peisetaerus turns the gods themselves into hungry intruders via the λιμός Μήλιος. To taunt their hunger, he roasts birds for subverting the democracy and so, ironically, commits the same crime as Philocrates as he becomes a tyrant at the end of the play. Brian V. Credo, Jr., is a PhD candidate at the University of Pennsylvania. His dissertation focuses on the relationship between Greek Old Comedy, ritual, and expulsion. This project originated in his undergraduate thesis at the University of Notre Dame, entitled A Goat Amidst Frogs: The Pharmakos Complex in Aristophanes’ Play. Some of his related research interests include the anthropology and critical theory of humor, ritual, and marginality. Keywords: expulsion, φαρμακός ritual, exile, intruder scene, λιμός Μήλιος

description: The paper assesses the structures and dynamics of transnational cooperation projects promoted by Local Action Groups (LAGs) in different periods (from LEADER II to LEADER Axis) using Social Network Analysis (SNA) in a specific case study: the Veneto Region in Italy. The classical indexes of SNA have been critically examined, and the paper also presents innovative indexes that can capture the peculiarity of transnational cooperation: disaggregated densities of the network and transnational centrality of the node. These indexes are useful in order to quantify how transnational a network actually is, and to measure the power-information that each actor (LAG) can acquire through its transnational contacts. The methodology can become a tool for Managing Authorities to implement new forms of evaluation of transnational cooperation of LAGs.
Symbolic Partial-Order Execution for Testing Multi-Threaded Programs

description: We describe a technique for systematic testing of multi-threaded programs. We combine Quasi-Optimal Partial-Order Reduction, a state-of-the-art technique that tackles path explosion due to interleaving non-determinism, with symbolic execution to handle data non-determinism. Our technique iteratively and exhaustively finds all executions of the program. It represents program executions using partial orders and finds the next execution using an underlying unfolding semantics. We avoid the exploration of redundant program traces using cutoff events. We implemented our technique as an extension of KLEE and evaluated it on a set of large multi-threaded C programs. Our experiments found several previously undiscovered bugs and undefined behaviors in memcached and GNU sort, showing that the new method is capable of finding bugs in industrial-size benchmarks.

title: Tabletop Tangible Interfaces for Music Performance: Design and Evaluation
Creators: name: Xambó Sedó, Anna
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2015

description: This thesis investigates a new generation of collaborative systems: tabletop tangible interfaces (TTIs) for music performance or musical tabletops. Musical tabletops are designed for professional musical performance, as well as for casual interaction in public settings. These systems support co-located collaboration, offered by a shared interface. However, we still know little about their challenges and opportunities for collaborative musical practice: in particular, how to best support beginners or experts or both. This thesis explores the nature of collaboration on TTIs for music performance between beginners, experts, or both. Empirical work was done in two stages: 1) an exploratory stage; and 2) an experimental stage. In the exploratory stage we studied the Reactable, a commercial musical tabletop designed for beginners and experts. In particular, we explored its use in two environments: a multi-session study with expert musicians in a casual lab setting; and a field study with casual visitors in a science centre. In the experimental stage we conducted a controlled experiment for mixed groups using a bespoke musical tabletop interface, SoundXY4. The design of this study was informed by the previous stage about a need to support better real-time awareness of the group activity (workspace awareness) in early interactions. For the three studies, groups musical improvisation was video-captured unobtrusively with the aim of understanding natural uses during group musical practice. Rich video data was carefully analysed focusing on the nature of social interaction and how workspace awareness was manifested. The findings suggest that musical tabletops can support peer learning during multiple sessions; fluid between-group social interaction in public settings; and a democratic and ecological approach to music performance. The findings also point to how workspace awareness can be enhanced in early interactions with TTIs using auditory feedback with ambisonics spatialisation. The thesis concludes with theoretical, methodological, and practical implications for future research in New Interfaces for Musical Expression (NIME), tabletop studies, and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).
Ab initio Green's function formalism for band structures

description: Using the Green's function formalism, an ab initio theory for band structures of crystals is derived starting from the Hartree-Fock approximation. It is based on the algebraic diagrammatic construction scheme for the self-energy which is formulated for crystal orbitals (CO-ADC). In this approach, the poles of the Green's function are determined by solving a suitable Hermitian eigenvalue problem. The method is not only applicable to the outer valence and conduction bands, it is also stable for inner valence bands where strong electron correlations are effective. The key to the proposed scheme is to evaluate the self-energy in terms of Wannier orbitals before transforming it to a crystal momentum representation. Exploiting the fact that electron correlations are mainly local, one can truncate the lattice summations by an appropriate configuration selection scheme. This yields a flat configuration space; i.e., its size scales only linearly with the number of atoms per unit cell for large systems and, under certain conditions, the computational effort to determine band structures also scales linearly. As a first application of the new formalism, a lithium fluoride crystal has been chosen. A minimal basis set description is studied, and a satisfactory agreement with previous theoretical and experimental results for the fundamental band gap and the width of the F 2p valence band complex is obtained.

Geographies of ethnic politics : Jewish survival and continuity in Vancouver BC
Creators: name: Jackson, Sara Lindsay
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Judaism and the history of the Jewish Diaspora are full of stories of how the Jews have overcome innumerable threats to physical and spiritual survival. Assimilation is one of these pressures and today particularly in North America assimilation is commonly viewed as the greatest danger to Jewish survival and continuity. Historically, attempts to contain Jews and Judaism have been enforced from both inside and outside Jewish communities. Using Vancouver as a study site, this thesis investigates how the history of (Jewish) ethnic politics, intermarriage, matrilineal descent, and Canadian multiculturalism facilitate the racialization of Jewish boundaries from within the Jewish community itself. Through interviews with secular and religious community leaders as well as the use of archival materials the thesis also illustrates how smaller ethnic communities outside of Diasporic cultural centres (Toronto and Montreal in the case of Canadian Jews) both maintain and challenge dominant beliefs on assimilation and what it means to be Jewish.
