description: Freshwater salinization is an emerging global concern, and in northern latitudes can be largely attributed to road deicer applications during winter and spring.  In urbanizing areas, stormwater ponds now comprise a significant portion of standing water as these ponds are designed to sequester excess run-off and pollutants, such as road salt deicers.  While these man-made ponds are not intended to serve as freshwater ecosystems, it is becoming clear that they do provide habitat for many organisms, but we know little of their ecosystem structure, function and interactions with pollutants.  The purpose of my research was to investigate the effects of road salt contamination on pond food webs through manipulating trophic structure and salt in experimental pond communities as well as through field surveys of urban stormwater ponds.  In the spring and summer of 2008 and 2009 I used 40, 600-L experimental pond mesocosms to explore the relationships between chloride concentration, tadpole (Hyla versicolor) presence and algae/zooplankton inoculum source.  In 2008 I used inoculum from a pristine habitat while in 2009 I collected inoculum from urban stormwater ponds.  My 2008 mesocosm study results suggest that under elevated chloride conditions, tadpoles had more algal resources (measured as chlorophyll a concentration) available as a result of declines in zooplankton competitors, inducing a faster rate and size at metamorphosis.  Road salts and tadpole grazers also interacted to impair microbial respiration and leaf litter decomposition.  My 2009 mesocosm study results suggest that tadpoles and certain zooplankton species residing in urban stormwater ponds may be acclimating to road salt deicer inputs.  From April through June 2009, I surveyed 8 stormwater ponds in the Red Run Watershed, Baltimore County, Maryland, USA to describe patterns in aquatic food webs associated with a gradient in road salt inputs.  I observed a decline in zooplankton density along an increasing conductance gradient that is consistent with experimental results of road deicer effects, suggesting algal resources are possibly freed from grazing pressure as zooplankton consumers are negatively impacted by road salt exposure.  My results highlight the potential for both direct and indirect effects of road deicers on freshwater communities.

description: The need for e-health systems in countries like ours cannot be over emphasized as there is a serious Medical Practitioners brain drain. Medical Practitioners for lack of conducive work environment, lack of facilities, unpaid dues among other basic needs go in search for greener pasture thereby decreasing the WHO defined doctor-to-population ratio of 1:600 to 1:4000-5000 representing a difference of 3400-4400 population burden on a doctor. This means that the few Medical Practitioners available will be over stressed and therefore giving attention to quality number of patients would be impossible hence this study. This telemedicine system is developed to fill the gap created by the result of Medical Practitioners brain drain. This is to say that with the adoption of telemedicine, foreign medical experts including the Nigerian emigrated doctors can be reached and be of help to the medical sector while they fix the cause of brain drain in the country. It is one major means to bringing to the doorsteps of the Nigeria populace that falls short of the WHO recommended doctor-to-population ratio of 1:600. This telemedicine system was implemented using Spyder ->Python, Microsoft Visual Studio Code -> JavaScript, PHP, AJAX, CSS

description: Oxide heterostructures represent a unique playground for triggering the emergence of novel electronic states and for implementing new device concepts. The discovery of 2D conductivity at the $LaAlO_3/SrTiO_3$ interface has been linking for over a decade two of the major current research fields in Materials Science: correlated transition-metal-oxide systems and low-dimensional systems. A full merging of these two fields requires nevertheless the realization of $LaAlO_3/SrTiO_3$ heterostructures in the form of freestanding membranes. Here we show a completely new method for obtaining oxide hetero-membranes with micrometer lateral dimensions. Unlike traditional thin-film-based techniques developed for semiconductors and recently extended to oxides, the concept we demonstrate does not rely on any sacrificial layer and is based instead on pure strain engineering. We monitor through both real-time and post-deposition analyses, performed at different stages of growth, the strain relaxation mechanism leading to the spontaneous formation of curved hetero-membranes. Detailed transmission electron microscopy investigations show that the membranes are fully epitaxial and that their curvature results in a huge strain gradient, each of the layers showing a mixed compressive/tensile strain state. Electronic devices are fabricated by realizing ad hoc circuits for individual micro-membranes transferred on silicon chips. Our samples exhibit metallic conductivity and electrostatic field effect similar to 2D-electron systems in bulk heterostructures. Our results open a new path for adding oxide functionality into semiconductor electronics, potentially allowing for ultra-low voltage gating of a superconducting transistors, micromechanical control of the 2D electron gas mediated by ferroelectricity and flexoelectricity, and on-chip straintronics.

description: We study massless deformations of generalized calibrated cycles, which describe, in the language of generalized complex geometry, supersymmetric D-branes in N=1 supersymmetric compactifications with fluxes. We find that the deformations are classified by the first cohomology group of a Lie algebroid canonically associated to the generalized calibrated cycle, seen as a generalized complex submanifold with respect to the integrable generalized complex structure of the bulk. We provide examples in the SU(3) structure case and in a `genuine' generalized complex structure case. We discuss cases of lifting of massless modes due to world-volume fluxes, background fluxes and a generalized complex structure that changes type.

description: Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is an emerging imaging modality that aims at measuring the high-contrast optical properties of tissues by means of high-resolution ultrasonic measurements. The interaction between these two types of waves is based on the thermoacoustic effect. In recent years, many works have investigated the applicability of compressed sensing to PAT, in order to reduce measuring times while maintaining a high reconstruction quality. However, in most cases, theoretical guarantees are missing. In this work, we show that in many measurement setups of practical interest, compressed sensing PAT reduces to compressed sensing for undersampled Fourier measurements. This is achieved by applying known reconstruction formulae in the case of the free-space model for wave propagation, and by applying the theories of Riesz bases and nonuniform Fourier series in the case of the bounded domain model. Extensive numerical simulations illustrate and validate the approach.

description: The dicarbon molecular anion is currently of interest as a candidate for laser cooling due to its electronic structure and favorable branching ratios to the ground electronic and vibrational states. Helium has been proposed as a buffer gas to cool the molecule's internal motion. We calculate the cross sections and corresponding rates for rovibrational inelastic collisions of the dicarbon anion with He, and also with Ne and Ar, on three-dimensional ab initio potential energy surfaces using quantum scattering theory. The rates for vibrational quenching with He and Ne are very small and are similar to those for small neutral molecules in collision with helium. The quenching rates for Ar, however, are far larger than those with the other noble gases, suggesting that this may be a more suitable gas for driving vibrational quenching in traps. The implications of these results for laser cooling of the dicarbon anion are discussed.

A tale of two Susans: the construction of gender identity on the British Columbia frontier
Creators: name: Bonson, Anita M. J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Over the last twenty-five years, women's historians have striven with the problem of how to uncover women's lives in the past. The early concern with merely "retrieving" women's life stories has recently been augmented by a more theoretically- informed approach which takes into consideration issues of experience, voice, and representation, and which challenges the notion of absolute objectivity. This study was designed as a contribution to the latter type of historical research informed by the sociological debates on these issues, and was influenced by feminist materialist approaches that insist on accounting for both the content of experiences and the various discursive positions occupied by subjects. Specifically, it examines the bases of identity construction in the lives of two women teachers (Susan Abercrombie Holmes and Susan Suckley Flood) in nineteenth-century British Columbia, a context in which relatively little work on the history of women has been done. Identity is not perceived as given or static, but rather as constructed, changing, and sometimes contradictory. Even those markers of identity commonly called upon to describe a person- such as gender, race, class, religion, and nationality-are seen as problematic, and their ambiguities are discussed in relation to the life stories of the two women. Subsequently, the effects of these "markers" are further adumbrated through an examination of some of the less obvious ways in which the women's identities were constructed. These are all seen as interrelated, and include the influences of their families of origin on the women's earlier lives, especially regarding their education and marriage decisions, their functions as economic agents, their social relationships, and their self-images or self-representations. To the extent that these were fashioned by their gender identity, many similarities can be seen in their lives, but their experiences also diverged (widely or narrowly) as a result of their differences in other aspects, notably racial identity. These differences had a profound effect on the type and degree of material and ideological constraints placed upon them, and thus on the degree to which they were able to shape the construction of their own identities.

description: The purpose of this report is to look at the measures of importance of components in systems in terms of reliability. In the first work of Birnbaum (1968) on this subject, many interesting studies were created and important indicators were constructed that allowed to organize the components of complex systems. They are helpful in analyzing the reliability of the designed systems, establishing the principles of operation and maintenance. The significance measures presented here are collected and discussed regarding the motivation behind their creation. They concern an approach in which both elements and systems are binary, and the possibility of generalization to multistate systems is only mentioned. Among the discussed is one new proposal using the methods of game theory, combining the sensitivity to the structure of the system and the operational effects on the system performance. The presented severity measures use a knowledge of the system structure as well as reliability and wear and tear, and whether the components can be repaired and maintained.

description: We propose an experiment which demonstrates the undoing of a weak continuous measurement of a solid-state qubit, so that any unknown initial state is fully restored. The undoing procedure has only a finite probability of success because of the non-unitary nature of quantum measurement, though it is accompanied by a clear experimental indication of whether or not the undoing has been successful. The probability of success decreases with increasing strength of the measurement, reaching zero for a traditional projective measurement. Measurement undoing (``quantum un-demolition'') may be interpreted as a kind of a quantum eraser, in which the information obtained from the first measurement is erased by the second measurement, which is an essential part of the undoing procedure. The experiment can be realized using quantum dot (charge) or superconducting (phase) qubits.

Adaptive Mesh Strategies for elastic Rods with Singular Potentials

Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2007
Subjects: Mathematics (0405)

description: We consider the problem of finding the equilibria of a planar electrically charged elastic strut subject to endloading. Ideas from the calculus of variations are applied to identify the equilibria of the energy functional of the elastic rod. Namely, equilibria are found by solving the Euler-Lagrange system of integro-differential equations with boundary conditions at the endpoints. Parameter continuation techniques are used to solve this system for a family of solutions parameterized by lambda. As lambda varies, the electrostatic repulsion applied to the strut causes convergence issues in the continuation steps in the contact regions of the strut. First a generalized, nonuniform discretization is developed for the Euler-Lagrange system of integro-differential equations, so that the system may be solved with a nonuniform mesh. Then two automated adaptivity schemes, a backward  scheme and a central scheme are developed and embedded into the computations of the problem with the intention of moving the mesh points into the contact region. Both the backward and central adaptivity schemes moved the mesh points into the contact regions.

description: Sequential infiltration synthesis (SIS) provides an original strategy to grow inorganic materials by infiltrating gaseous precursors in polymeric films. Combined with micro-phase separated nanostructures resulting from block copoly-mer (BCP) self-assembly, SIS selectively binds the precursors to only one domain mimicking the morphology of the original BCP template. This methodology represents a smart solution for the fabrication of inorganic nanostructures starting from self-assembled BCP thin films, in view of advanced lithographic application and of functional nanostructure synthesis. The SIS process using Trimethylaluminum (TMA) and H2O precursors in self-assembled PS-b-PMMA BCP thin films established as a model system, where the PMMA phase is selectively infiltrated. However the temperature range allowed by polymeric material restricts the available precursors to highly reactive reagents, such as TMA. In order to extend the SIS methodology and access a wide library of materials, a crucial step is the implementation of processes using reactive reagents that are fully compatible with the initial polymeric template. This work reports a comprehensive morphological (SEM, SE, AFM) and physico-chemical (XPS) investigation of alumina nanostructures synthesized by means of a SIS process using O3 as oxygen precursor in self-assembled PS-b-PMMA thin films with lamellar morphology. The comparison with the H2O-based SIS pro-cess validates the possibility to use O3 as oxygen precursor expanding the possible range of precursors for the fabrication of inorganic nanostructures.

description: Suppose we have some measurements of a response variable for many people taken over a period of time. We hypothesized that there might be a finite number of distinct groups of people with different mean trajectories over times.  For example, we can have a few dozen systolic blood pressure (SBP) measurements taken over the course of a day for several dozens of people, resulting in hundreds or thousands of total data points.  In this context, we might hypothesize there are a small number of daily patterns of blood pressure. Given the data and the number of groups the user requires, we want to identify the patterns and the probability that each person belongs to each pattern. We developed an algorithm that will fit a mixture of nonparametric regressions and apply it to data containing repeated measurements over time. The algorithm is a pseudo-EM algorithm using kernel regression. Using this algorithm and blood pressure data, we found three distinct trajectories of blood pressure during the day.

description: Additional file 7: Fig. 7. Validation of pSyn stainings with three different antibodies on FFPE samples of a neuropathologically confirmed DLB case. 3 µm thick paraffin block sections from the amygdala and 80–100 µm thick sections from fixed hippocampus were obtained from the same 91-year-old male DLB patient (case 20) and were stained against pSyn using three different antibodies, namely 11A5, 81A and EP1536Y, that all three recognize the P-Ser-129 epitope. (a) Sections from paraffin blocks were stained against pSyn (11A4, 81A and EP1536Y; brown) based on the DAB/HRP substrate system. The sections were counterstained with hematoxylin. The lower rows represent a zoom of the indicated region in the upper row. (b) Thick sections from fixed samples were stained by immunofluorescence against pSyn (11A4, 81A and EP1536Y; green), neurofilaments (NF-H, magenta) and all nuclei (DRAQ7TM, blue). Scale bars in (a) upper row = 500 µm and lower row = 50 µm; (b) upper row = 100 µm and lower row = 10 µm

description: Joining of dissimilar metals is required for numerous applications in industries such as chemical, energy and automotive. It is challenging due to differences in melting point, density, and thermal expansion of the metals being joined. Common welding techniques involve limiting melting and solidification to a narrow area leading to high thermal stresses and potentially brittle intermetallic phases. Furthermore, the geometric complexity of these welded joints can be rather limited. Additive Manufacturing (AM) presents new techniques for joining of dissimilar metals. One of the emerging methods is the building of functionally graded parts using Directed Energy Deposition (DED) to spatially vary composition. In this paper, a SS316L and C300 maraging steel couple were joined by DED and heat treated. 13 discrete composition layers were selected using metallurgical considerations, in order to ensure a smooth transition in properties and microstructure. The mechanical properties of the as-built joints were found to be similar to the SS part and no intermetallic phases were found in the interface.

A Gersgorin type theorem, spectral inequalities, and simultaneous stability in Euclidean Jordan algebras

Gersgorin type theorem

description: In this thesis we study a Gersgorin type theorem, spectral inequalities, and simultaneous stability of linear transformations in the setting of Euclidean Jordan algebras. For complex square matrices, the Levy-Desplanques theorem asserts that a strictly diagonally dominant matrix is invertible. The well-known Gersgorin theorem on the location of eigenvalues is equivalent to this. In the first part of the thesis, we extend the Levy-Desplanques theorem to an object in a Euclidean Jordan algebra when its Peirce decomposition with respect to a Jordan frame is given. As a consequence, we prove a Gersgorin type theorem for the spectral eigenvalues of an object in a Euclidean Jordan algebra. In matrix theory, the well known Cauchy's interlacing theorem states that if a row-column pair is deleted from a complex Hermitian matrix, then the eigenvalues of the resulting principal matrix interlace those of the original one. This result was generalized recently to the setting of simple Euclidean Jordan algebras. In the second part of the thesis, we present some consequences of this generalization and prove the dual form of the min-max theorem of Hirzebruch. One of the applications of the min-max theorem from matrix analysis is the problem of comparing the eigenvalues of Hermitian matrices A and B with those of A + B, proved by Weyl. Using the min-max theorem of Hirzebruch, we extend Weyl's inequality to the setting of simple Euclidean Jordan algebras and study some consequences of it. Using duality and complementarity ideas, and Z-transformations, in the third part of the thesis, we discuss ways of describing simultaneous stability of linear transformations on Hilbert spaces. As a consequence, we discuss the existence of common linear/quadratic Lyapunov functions for switched linear systems. In particular, we extend a recent result of Mason-Shorten on positive switched system with two constituent linear time-invariant systems to an arbitrary finite system.

description: We present an experimental realization of a 16 element, temporal-array, photon-number-resolving (PNR) detector, which is a multiplexed single-photon detector that splits an input signal over multiple time-bins, and the time-bins are detected using two superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPD). A theoretical investigation of the PNR capabilities of the detector is performed and it is concluded that compared to a single-photon detector, our array detector can resolve one order of magnitude higher mean photon numbers, given the same number of input pulses to measure. This claim is experimentally verified and we show that the detector can accurately predict photon numbers between $10^{-3}$ to $10^{2}$. Our present detector is incapable of single-shot photon-number measurements with high precision since its effective quantum efficiency is $49\,\%$. Using SNSPDs with a higher quantum efficiency the PNR performance will improve, but the photon-number resolution will still be limited by the array size.

description: We investigate anisotropic fluid cosmology in a situation where the spacetime metric back-reacts in a local, time-dependent way to the presence of inhomogeneities. We derive exact solutions to the Einstein field equations describing Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) large scale cosmological evolution in the presence of local inhomogeneities and time-dependent back reaction. We use our derivation to tackle the cosmological constant problem. A cosmological constant emerges by averaging the back reaction term on spatial scales of the order of $100 \ \text{Mpc}$, at which our universe begins to appear homogeneous and isotropic. We find that the order of magnitude of the "emerged" cosmological constant agrees with astrophysical observations and is related in a natural way to baryonic matter density. Thus, there is no coincidence problem in our framework.

title: Living with Giants: Implications of elephant habitat choice on human-elephant conflict and coexistence
Creators: name: Gonçalves, Dominique D'Emille Correia

description: We are currently in the middle of a global environmental crisis, with a million species at risk of extinction and many ecosystems threatened by collapse. In response, signatories to the Convention of Biological Diversity recently developed a set of targets to be met by 2030, as part of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. These include committing to: "Ensure that all areas are under participatory, integrated and biodiversity inclusive spatial planning and/or effective management processes" (Target 1) and to "Ensure urgent management actions to halt human induced extinction of known threatened species and [...] effectively manage human-wildlife interactions to minimize human-wildlife conflict for coexistence" (Target 4). Meeting these targets will be extremely challenging and there is a need for interdisciplinary, applied research to inform conservation policy and action.

In this thesis I used an interdisciplinary approach to understand how better to manage conservation issues related to the savanna elephant population in Gorongosa National Park (GNP) in Mozambique. This elephant species is globally threatened but some of its populations are increasing. This is the case for the Gorongosa population, which is recovering from a major poaching event that happened decades before. The result is an increase in human-elephant conflict, as elephants increasingly move outside the protected area and interact with the people farming in the neighbouring buffer zone. This type of problem is occurring around the world, where a threatened species is recovering due to better conservation management, and people are increasing the extent and intensity of farming with support from government and NGOs.

This thesis represents an exploration and analysis of human elephant conflict, where three empirical solid chapters were produced. Those include spatial analyses from GPS collar data to understand how elephants use the broader landscape (Chapter 2) and interact with boundaries in the form of rivers and beehive fences (Chapter 3), as well as interviews with local communities to understand their tolerance or intolerance to elephants to help inform conservation efforts (Chapter 4).
 
The results contribute to our understanding as to how interventions can be used to address human elephant conflict, and how experiences of conflict affect attitudes to elephants in high conflict areas around protected areas.
