description: Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) are highly energetic events that can be observed at extremely high redshift. However, inherent bias in GRB data due to selection effects and redshift evolution can significantly skew any subsequent analysis. We correct for important variables related to the GRB emission, such as the burst duration, $T_{90}^*$, the prompt isotropic energy, $E_{\rm iso}$, the rest-frame end time of the plateau emission, $T_{\rm a, radio}^*$, and its correspondent luminosity $L_{\rm a, radio}$, for radio afterglow. In particular, we use the Efron-Petrosian method presented in 1992 for the correction of our variables of interest. Specifically, we correct $E_{\rm iso}$ and $T_{90}^*$ for 80 GRBs, and $L_{\rm a, radio}$ and $T_{\rm a, radio}^*$ for a subsample of 18 GRBs that present a plateau-like flattening in their light curve. Upon application of this method, we find strong evolution with redshift in most variables, particularly in $L_{\rm a, radio}$, with values similar to those found in past and current literature in radio, X-ray and optical wavelengths, indicating that these variables are susceptible to observational bias. This analysis emphasizes the necessity of correcting observational data for evolutionary effects to obtain the intrinsic behavior of correlations to use them as discriminators among the most plausible theoretical models and as reliable cosmological tools.

Investigating the role of Copy Number Variants in Specific Language Impairment and identification of new candidate genes

description: Specific language impairment (SLI) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder defined as an unexpected failure to develop normal language abilities for no obvious reason. Copy number variants (CNVs) are an important source of variation in the susceptibility to neuropsychiatric disorders. Therefore, a CNV study within SLI families was performed to investigate the role of structural variants in SLI. Among the identified CNVs, we focused on CNVs on chromosome 15q11-q13, recurrently observed in neuropsychiatric conditions, and a homozygous exonic microdeletion in ZNF277. Since this microdeletion falls within the AUTS1 locus, a region linked to autism spectrum disorders (ASD), we investigated a potential role of ZNF277 in SLI and ASD. Frequency data and expression analysis of the ZNF277 microdeletion suggested that this variant may contribute to the risk of language impairments in a complex manner, that is independent of the autism risk previously described in this region. 
Moreover, we identified an affected individual with a dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) deficiency, caused by compound heterozygosity of two deleterious variants in the gene DPYD. Since DPYD represents a good candidate gene for both SLI and ASD, we investigated its involvement in the susceptibility to these two disorders, focusing on the splicing variant rs3918290, the most common mutation in the DPD deficiency. We observed a higher frequency of rs3918290 in SLI cases (1.2%), compared to controls (~0.6%), while no difference was observed in a large ASD cohort. DPYD mutation screening in 4 SLI and 7 ASD families carrying the splicing variant identified six known missense changes and a novel variant in the promoter region. These data suggest that the combined effect of the mutations identified in affected individuals may lead to an altered DPD activity and that rare variants in DPYD might contribute to a minority of cases, in conjunction with other genetic or non-genetic factors.
Calibration of the gravity model using inter-urban truck data in B. C.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This thesis concerns a survey of inter-regional or inter-urban commercial truck traffic at weigh scales in B.C. and how parts of the information collected can be used to calibrate a gravity model of the type proposed by the Federal Highways Administration (U. S. A.). The results of the calibration of both the 27 and 31 node models are compared with previous, calibration efforts In an intra-urban context. There is a relatively detailed presentation of the design and completion of this type of survey. Also, the role of the gravity model of trip distribution in the planning process is explained. A new method of determining the inter-zonal impedance is used. This impedance is based on trip cost and takes into account such things as type of terrain (level, rolling, mountainous). The results indicate that the calibration was successful. The use of the gravity model of trip distribution would appear to be an appropriate technique in the analysis of inter-urban commercial truck traffic.

The effect of uncertainty in irrigation development
Creators: name: Nyumbu, Inyambo Liyambila
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Uncertainty in irrigation development is of significant concern, more so nou than before, because marginal projects are being developed. Piecemeal efforts to account for uncertainty do not indicate its relative importance in design decisions; its only uhen uncertainty in all the input functions to the system is properly accounted for that its significance can be realised. This thesis presents a method of analysing an irrigation project in which uncertainty was directly taken into account. The design decision problem involved the choice of the capacity of an irrigation system using regulated streamflou. The analysis showed that the optimal size of the irrigation project and the expected utility value decreases as the level of uncertainty increases, and it also depends on the ability of the owners to survive poor harvests.

Aerodynamic drag accounts for up to 90% of a cyclist’s resistance with 60‐80% of this coming from the cyclist’s body. Consequently, reducing drag is crucial to maximise speed for a given rider power. There are several methodsto determine drag, including wind tunnels, track and road testing, and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Wind tunnels are the most accurate for measuring drag force, but do not provide information on flow topology and the drag mechanisms without the use of expensive and complex optical measurement techniques. CFD can predict the entire flow field, is potentially better for knowledge‐based development, and has become popular in recent studies (e.g., Blocken et al.). However, cycling aerodynamics is complex and the effects of surface roughness, boundary layer transition, flow separation and turbulent wakes are challenging to accurately predict. Expectation is that this would require high fidelity computations such as large eddy simulations (LES), but these require expensive high‐performance computing and simulation times of the order of months, both out of reach even for many pro cycling teams . This paper examines if lower fidelity CFD can be used to predict, with sufficient accuracy, the aerodynamic drag of a cyclist within practical timescales on an affordable desktop PC.

description: Engineering of Sport 15 - Proceedings from the 15th International Conference on the Engineering of Sport (ISEA 2024)
Over the last decade, considerable effort has gone into understanding the flow around a cyclist to reduce the aerodynamic drag and, in turn, increase the rider’s speed. Recent studies typically use cyclist geometries obtained through scanning actual riders resulting in highly realistic cyclist models for numerical simulations and wind-tunnel experiments. Despite the relevance of the results, the model geometries are personal anthropometric data and, so, cannot be published. This hampers direct comparison of results and the ability to build upon the research of others. Similar to generic vehicle models, e.g., the DrivAer, that are used in the automotive aerodynamic community, a commonly used cyclist model has the potential to advance the general understanding of cycling aerodynamics. We aim to introduce open-source, realistic generic cyclist models (GCM) including a benchmark dataset of the surrounding flow. The goal of this work is to investigate the similarities and differences in the aerodynamic loads acting on the time-trial (TT) GCM and in the large-scale wake structures obtained from experiments in two different wind tunnels, using different flow measurement techniques.

description: We consider the Grothendieck ring of the fusion algebra of the W-extended logarithmic minimal model WLM(1,p). Informally, this is the fusion ring of W-irreducible characters so it is blind to the Jordan block structures associated with reducible yet indecomposable representations. As in the rational models, the Grothendieck ring is described by a simple graph fusion algebra. The 2p-dimensional matrices of the regular representation are mutually commuting but not diagonalizable. They are brought simultaneously to Jordan form by the modular data coming from the full (3p-1)-dimensional S-matrix which includes transformations of the p-1 pseudo-characters. The spectral decomposition yields a Verlinde-like formula that is manifestly independent of the modular parameter $τ$ but is, in fact, equivalent to the Verlinde-like formula recently proposed by Gaberdiel and Runkel involving a $τ$-dependent S-matrix.

A new eighteen parameter triangular element for general plate and shell analysis
Creators: name: Bearden, Terrance William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this investigation was to develop an eighteen parameter flat triangular finite element for analyzing plate and shell structures. The development of the element was accomplished by combining a plate bending element with a new plane stress element. The well known nine parameter triangle using the normal displacement and two slopes at each vertex was used for the plate bending element. This element contains an incomplete cubic for the normal displacement. For the in-plane element, complete cubics were used initially for the displacements and then various constraints were imposed to reduce the number of generalized co-ordinates to nine, namely the two in-plane displacements and an in-plane rotation at each vertex. One of the constraints, namely that the included angle at each vertex was invariant, destroyed the completeness of the element. However, the element was compatible in the plane. A patch-type test of the in-plane element showed that it could not represent all constant strain states exactly. However, the errors were small. The complete element was then tested on a plane stress cantilever beam, a square plate subjected to membrane stresses only, a cylindrical shell, a spherical shell and a non-prismatic folded plate structure. In all cases, reasonable engineering accuracy was achieved with modest grids of elements. Thus it was concluded that the incompleteness of the in-plane element was not too important. Finally, a compatible beam element was formulated and tested to supplement the triangular element. The beam element formulation included unsymmetric crosssections.

description: Soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) have unique properties that make them intriguing targets for gravitational wave (GW) searches. They are nearby, their burst emission mechanism may involve neutron star crust fractures and excitation of quasi-normal modes, and they burst repeatedly and sometimes spectacularly. A recent LIGO search for transient GW from these sources placed upper limits on a set of almost 200 individual SGR bursts. These limits were within the theoretically predicted range of some models. We present a new search strategy which builds upon the method used there by "stacking" potential GW signals from multiple SGR bursts. We assume that variation in the time difference between burst electromagnetic emission and burst GW emission is small relative to the GW signal duration, and we time-align GW excess power time-frequency tilings containing individual burst triggers to their corresponding electromagnetic emissions. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we confirm that gains in GW energy sensitivity of N^{1/2} are possible, where N is the number of stacked SGR bursts. Estimated sensitivities for a mock search for gravitational waves from the 2006 March 29 storm from SGR 1900+14 are also presented, for two GW emission models, "fluence-weighted" and "flat" (unweighted).

description: Analytical equation of state for pure alkali metals (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium and cesium) in equilibrium gas phase is proposed. This equation has a simple form, generalizes the equation of state for a perfect gas and is universal for all alkali elements. It correctly reproduces the experimental data for the equilibrium gas phase over a wide range of pressures (up to $\sim 10^5$~Pa) and temperatures (up to $\sim 3 \cdot 10^3$~K). On the basis of this equation of state, expressions for thermal and caloric coefficients as well as for \textit{other physical characteristics} are obtained. The results of this study confirm feasibility of the principle of corresponding states in relation to the group of alkali elements.

description: A challenge in absolute calibration is to relate very bright stars with physical flux measurements to faint ones within range of modern instruments, e.g. those on large groundbased telescopes or on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). We propose Sirius as the fiducial color standard: it is an A0V star that is slowly rotating and does not have infrared excesses either due to hot dust or a planetary debris disk; it also has a number of accurate (~ 1 - 2%) absolute flux measurements. We transfer the near infrared flux from Sirius accurately to BD +60 1753, an unobscured early A-type star (A1V, V ~ 9.6, E(B-V) ~ 0.009) that is faint enough to serve as a primary absolute flux calibrator for JWST. Its near-infrared spectral energy distribution and that of Sirius should be virtually identical. We have determined its output relative to that of Sirius in a number of different ways, all of which give consistent results within ~ 1%. We also transfer the calibration to GSPC P330-E, a well calibrated close solar analog (G2V). We have emphasized the 2MASS K_S band since it represents a large number and long history of measurements, but theoretical spectra (i.e., from CALSPEC) of these stars can be used to extend this result throughout the near- and mid-infrared.

description: We perform a multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis of the magnetoconductance data of two standard types of mesoscopic systems: a disordered nanowire and a ballistic chaotic billiard, with two different lattice structures. We observe in all cases that multifractality is generally present and that it becomes stronger in the quantum regime of conduction, i.e., when the number of open scattering channels is small. We argue that this behavior originates from correlations induced by the magnetic field, which can be characterized through the distribution of conductance increments in the corresponding "stochastic time series," with the magnetic field playing the role of a fictitious time. More specifically, we show that the distributions of conductance increments are well fitted by $q$ Gaussians and that the value of the parameter $q$ is a useful quantitative measure of multifractality in magnetoconductance fluctuations.

description: The radiative counterpart of the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Centre, Sagittarius A*, displays flaring emission in the X-ray band atop a steady, quiescent level. Flares are also observed in the near-infrared band. The physical process producing the flares is not fully understood and it is unclear if the flaring rate varies, although some recent works suggest it has reached unprecedented variability in recent years. Using over a decade of regular X-ray monitoring of Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, we studied the variations in count rate of Sgr A* on time scales of years. We decomposed the X-ray emission into quiescent and flaring emission, modelled as a constant and power law process, respectively. We found that the complete, multi-year dataset cannot be described by a stationary distribution of flare fluxes, while individual years follow this model better. In three of the ten studied years, the data is consistent with a purely Poissonian quiescent distribution, while for five years only an upper limit of the flare flux distribution parameter could be determined. We find that these possible changes cannot be explained fully by the different number of observations per year. Combined, these results are instead consistent with a changing flaring rate of Sgr A*, appearing more active between 2006-2007 and 2017-2019, than between 2008-2012. Finally, we discuss this result in the context of flare models and the passing of gaseous objects, and discuss the extra statistical steps taken, for instance to deal with the background in the Swift observations.

description: The euro has so far failed significantly to improve the quality of cross-border retail payment services. In the absence of substantial improvements following the start of Stage Three of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), the public might be less enthusiastic about the advantages of the euro. The difference in service level will become even more apparent, and therefore problematic, after 2002 when everyone in the euro area will be using the same banknotes and coins. This makes the currently unsatisfactory situation a political issue on which the Eurosystem must take a stance.

description: Il  problema storico che è al centro di questo progetto di ricerca può essere così riassunto: in che modo viene selezionata la classe dirigente comunista nell’Italia repubblicana? Ovvero, detto in altri termini, in che misura le nomine dipendevano dal centro, per cooptazione, secondo la tradizione del modello di partito centralizzato, e quanto, invece, costituivano una ratifica alta di processi di selezione che si sviluppavano in periferia? Quanto contava, insomma, l’aver avuto lo scettro del comando nei territori di provenienza per ricoprire incarichi direttivi nel partito a livello nazionale? La nostra ricerca vuole quindi verificare la validità di alcuni paradigmi interpretativi, scaturiti da un’analisi complessiva della politica comunista,  prendendo in esame un caso di studio locale, quello di una regione «rossa» per antonomasia come la Toscana. Tenendo conto, contestualmente, della realtà nazionale e di quella locale, cercheremo di analizzare, le ricadute che processi di portata nazionale ebbero sulla realtà locale, e in particolare, sulle modalità che regolavano la selezione della classe dirigente, dando alla ricerca un taglio prosopografico.
description: The historical problem, that is the focus of my research project, can be summarized in a fundamental question: how did Italian Communist Party select its own ruling class from 1945 to 1991? In other words I want to understand if selection process depends on the centre, by cooptation, or if its constitute a ratification of process developed in the periphery. 
In other words  the topic of my research is to reconstruct, on the one hand, the way of formation of the leadership at national level and, on the other hand, to examine a local case study, Tuscany, a “red” region by definition

description: When searching for radiological sources in an urban area, a vehicle-borne detector system will often measure complex, varying backgrounds primarily from natural gamma-ray sources. Much work has been focused on developing spectral algorithms that retain sensitivity and minimize the false positive rate even in the presence of such spectral and temporal variability. However, information about the environment surrounding the detector system might also provide useful clues about the expected background, which if incorporated into an algorithm, could improve performance. Recent work has focused on extensive measuring and modeling of urban areas with the goal of understanding how these complex backgrounds arise. This work presents an analysis of panoramic video images and gamma-ray background data collected in Oakland, California by the Radiological Multi-sensor Analysis Platform (RadMAP) vehicle. Features were extracted from the panoramic images by semantically labeling the images and then convolving the labeled regions with the detector response. A linear model was used to relate the image-derived features to gamma-ray spectral features obtained using Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) under different regularizations. We find some gamma-ray background features correlate strongly with image-derived features that measure the response-adjusted solid angle subtended by sky and buildings, and we discuss the implications for the development of future, contextually-aware detection algorithms.

description: Using bona-fide black hole (BH) mass estimates from reverberation mapping and the line ratio [SiVI] 1.963$μ$m/Br$γ_{\rm broad}$ as tracer of the AGN ionising continuum, a novel BH-mass scaling relation of the form log($M_{\rm BH}) = (6.40\pm 0.17) - (1.99\pm 0.37) \times$ log ([SiVI]/Br$γ_{\rm broad})$, dispersion 0.47 dex, over the BH mass interval, $10^6 - 10^8$ M$_{\odot}$ is found. Following on the geometrically thin accretion disc approximation and after surveying a basic parameter space for coronal lines production, we believe one of main drivers of the relation is the effective temperature of the disc, which is effectively sampled by the [SiVI] 1.963$μ$m coronal line for the range of BH masses considered. By means of CLOUDY photoionisation models, the observed anti-correlation appears to be formally in line with the thin disc prediction T_disc $\propto {M_{\rm BH}}^{-1/4}$.

Kelp forests

description: Subtidal video surveys are an equitable and accessible tool for research and teaching. After minimal training, these videos, conducted along underwater transects, can be analyzed by anyone, anywhere. These surveys have the potential to become an interactive teaching tool that introduces students to the scientific method in the context of subtidal ecosystems. Here, we document the methods for conducting video surveys and compare estimates of kelp density from in situ vs. video surveys. There was a significant relationship between in situ and video estimates of kelp stipe density, but on average, the videos estimated 42% of in situ density. Despite underestimating kelp density, this method easily distinguishes between forested and barren states and thus is likely to be useful in rapid assessments of kelp forests.
Water quality in the lower Fraser River Basin : a method to estimate the effect of pollution on the size of a salmon run
Creators: name: Brox, Gunter Herbert
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Water quality studies conducted in the recent past in the Lower Fraser River Basin indicated that locally some high pollution levels exist. With further urbanization and industrialization of the Vancouver region an increase in waste loadings and a degradation of water quality can be expected if no strict pollution control is applied. Of particular concern are biologically undegradable substances such as heavy metals and poly-chlorinated hydrocarbons. They accumulate in the sediments of the river and the estuary and become concentrated in organisms of the food chain. Pollution is a gradually occurring process. Anticipation of potential problems is important for the decision maker responsible for water quality management. The Fraser River supports one of the largest salmon runs of the world and is abundant with other commercially and recreationally valuable fish. Salmon are very sensitive to pollution and could disappear from the Fraser river system as they already have from many other major rivers if pollution levels become too high. The Fraser River estuary has the function of a bottleneck. Adult salmon enter the river to migrate upstream to their spawning grounds, and juvenile salmon stay in the estuary for a while to acclimatize themselves to the saline environment. In this thesis a method is presented to simulate the effects of potential pollution on the size of a salmon stock. A model which uses data from various life stages of a particular sockeye salmon run in the Fraser system is developed. Uncertainties due to environmental fluctuations are accounted for. Using this model the effects of an increase in mortality rate in two stages of the sockeye salmon life cycle on adult return numbers are studied. The analysis showed that at a certain mortality rate chances are that the stock might not be able to recover. In light of a planned salmon enhancement program to increase salmon stocks in various Pacific rivers, the fact that decreasing water quality could counteract all enhancement efforts should be a warning signal to the decision makers. The development of a water quality index to predict future conditions is recommended and a possible procedure to relate water quality parameters to an increase in mortality rate is sketched out.

description: Imperfections in dilute atomic beams propagating in the paraxial regime and in potentials of cylindrical symmetry have been characterized experimentally through the measurement of a parameter analogous to a beam quality factor [Riou et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 070404 (2006)]. We propose a generalization of this parameter, which is suitable to describe dilute matter waves propagating beyond the paraxial regime and in fully general linear atom-optical systems. The presented quality factor shows that the atomic beam symmetry can be traded for a better transverse collimation.

The relative entropy can further be related to the quantum Jarzynski equality, allowing non-equilibrium work to be used in entanglement detection. To exemplify our results, we consider two different spin chains.

description: The Cepheus B (CepB) molecular cloud and a portion of the nearby CepOB3b OB association, one of the most active regions of star formation within 1 kpc, have been observed with the IRAC detector on board the Spitzer Space Telescope. The goals are to study protoplanetary disk evolution and processes of sequential triggered star formation in the region. Out of ~400 pre-main sequence (PMS) stars selected with an earlier Chandra X-ray Observatory observation, 95% are identified with mid-infrared sources and most of these are classified as diskless or disk-bearing stars. The discovery of the additional >200 IR-excess low-mass members gives a combined Chandra+Spitzer PMS sample complete down to 0.5 Mo outside of the cloud, and somewhat above 1 Mo in the cloud. Analyses of the nearly disk-unbiased combined Chandra+Spitzer selected stellar sample give several results. Our major finding is a spatio-temporal gradient of young stars from the hot molecular core towards the primary ionizing O star HD 217086. This strongly supports the radiation driven implosion (RDI) model of triggered star formation in the region. The empirical estimate for the shock velocity of 1 km/s is very similar to theoretical models of RDI in shocked molecular clouds...ABRIDGED... Other results include: 1. agreement of the disk fractions, their mass dependency, and fractions of transition disks with other clusters; 2. confirmation of the youthfulness of the embedded CepB cluster; 3. confirmation of the effect of suppression of time-integrated X-ray emission in disk-bearing versus diskless systems.

description: We investigate topology and temporal evolution of the foreign currency exchange market viewed from a weighted network perspective. Based on exchange rates for a set of 46 currencies (including precious metals), we construct different representations of the FX network depending on a choice of the base currency. Our results show that the network structure is not stable in time, but there are main clusters of currencies, which persist for a long period of time despite the fact that their size and content are variable. We find a long-term trend in the network's evolution which affects the USD and EUR nodes. In all the network representations, the USD node gradually loses its centrality, while, on contrary, the EUR node has become slightly more central than it used to be in its early years. Despite this directional trend, the overall evolution of the network is noisy.

description: Kadison and Kastler introduced a natural metric on the collection of all C*-subalgebras of the bounded operators on a separable Hilbert space. They conjectured that sufficiently close algebras are unitarily conjugate. We establish this conjecture when one algebra is separable and nuclear. We also consider one-sided versions of these notions, and we obtain embeddings from certain near inclusions involving separable nuclear C*-algebras. At the end of the paper we demonstrate how our methods lead to improved characterisations of some of the types of algebras that are of current interest in the classification programme.

description: This paper revisits the nonlinear realization of spontaneously broken N=1 supersymmetry. It is shown that the constrained superfield formalism can be reinterpreted in the language of standard realization of nonlinear supersymmetry via a new and simpler route. Explicit formulas of actions are presented for general renormalizable theories with or without gauge interactions. The nonlinear Wess-Zumino gauge is discussed and relations are pointed out for different definitions of gauge fields. In addition, a general procedure is provided to deal with theories of arbitrary Kahler potentials.
