description: The model is built in which the main global properties of classical and quasi-classical black holes become local. These are the event horizon, "no-hair", temperature and entropy. Our construction is based on the features of a quantum collapse, discovered when studying some quantum black hole models. But our model is purely classical, and this allows to use selfconsistently the Einstein equations and classical (local) thermodynamics and explain in this way the log(3)-puzzle.

description: We present a panchromatic study of luminosity functions (LFs) and stellar mass functions (SMFs) of galaxies in the core of the Shapley supercluster at z=0.048, in order to investigate how the dense environment affects the galaxy properties, such as star formation (SF) or stellar masses. We find that while faint-end slopes of optical and NIR LFs steepen with decreasing density, no environment effect is found in the slope of the SMFs. This suggests that mechanisms transforming galaxies in different environments are mainly related to the quench of SF rather than to mass-loss. The Near-UV (NUV) and Far-UV (FUV) LFs obtained have steeper faint-end slopes than the local field population, while the 24$μ$m and 70$μ$m galaxy LFs for the Shapley supercluster have shapes fully consistent with those obtained for the local field galaxy population. This apparent lack of environmental dependence for the infrared (IR) LFs suggests that the bulk of the star-forming galaxies that make up the observed cluster IR LF have been recently accreted from the field and have yet to have their SF activity significantly affected by the cluster environment.

description: We present new Spitzer/IRS spectra of two hot R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars, one in the Galaxy,V348 Sgr, and one lying in the LMC, HV 2671. These two objects may constitute a link between the RCB stars and the late Wolf-Rayet ([WCL]) class of central stars of planetary nebula (CSPNe) such as CPD -56 8032 that has little or no hydrogen in their atmospheres. HV 2671 and V348 Sgr are members of a rare subclass that has significantly higher effective temperatures than most RCB stars, but sharing the traits of hydrogen deficiency and dust formation that define the cooler RCB stars. The [WC] CSPNe star, CPD -56 8032, displays evidence for dual-dust chemistry showing both PAHs and crystalline silicates in its mid-IR spectrum. HV 2671 shows strong PAH emission but shows no sign of having crystalline silicates. The spectrum of V348 Sgr is very different from those of CPD -56 8032 and HV 2671. The PAH emission seen strongly in the other two stars is not present. Instead, the spectrum is dominated by a broad emission centered at about 8.2 micron. The mid-IR spectrum of CPD -56 8032 shows emission features that may be associated with C60. The other two stars do not show evidence for C60. HV 2671 has also been detected by Herschel/PACS and SPIRE. V348 Sgr and CPD -56 8032 have been detected by AKARI/FIS. These data were combined with Spitzer, IRAS, 2MASS and other photometry to produce their spectral energy distributions from the visible to the far-IR. Monte Carlo radiative transfer modeling was used to study the circumstellar dust around these stars. HV 2671 and CPD -56 8032 require both a flared inner disk with warm dust and an extended diffuse envelope with cold dust to to fit their SEDs. The SED of V348 Sgr can be fit with a much smaller disk and envelope.

Irrespective of the systems, there exist a universal minimal quantum threshold above which the system completely loses the past memory, and the time-reversed dynamics as well as the time-reversal characteristics asymptotically trace universal curves independent of the details of the systems.

description: The distribution, prescription, and use of drugs in society is called drug utilization, which receives medical, social, or economic attention. Antibiotics have been shown to be effective in reducing morbidity and mortality associated with infectious diseases due   to their definitive or appropriate use, whiletheir misuse can lead to higher levels of morbicide, patient expenses, and bacterial antibiotic resistance. The primary medication used in pediatrics is antimicrobial agents. Due to the general increase in health care costs, inconsistencies in prescribing medicines and the emergence of antibiotic resistance, the monitoring and control of antibiotic use of increasing concern, and a strict antibiotic policy would be justified. The application of antimicrobial agents must be carefully planned and carried out, as their absence or resistance can be life-threatening. Irrational drug usage is prevalent in developing countries. . In India, doctors often prescribe three or four drugs for the most trivial ailments to satisfy the supply of drugs for patients or the profits of drug dealers. Therefore, drug use evaluation studies are necessary for all drugs and especially for antibiotics.

description: It has been revealed in the literature that pure multipoint relaying (MPR) algorithms demonstrate both simplicity and outstanding performance, as compared to other flooding algorithms in wireless networks. One drawback of pure MPR algorithms is that the selected forwarding set may not represent the optimum selection. In addition, little efforts have been carried-out to investigate the performance of such algorithms in noisy mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) suffering from high packet-loss and node mobility. In this paper, we develop and evaluate the performance of an optimal MPR (OMPR) algorithm for route discovery in noisy MANETs. The main feature of this new algorithm is that it calculates all possible sets of multipoint relays (MPRs) and then selects the set with minimum number of nodes. The algorithm demonstrates an excellent performance when it is compared with other route discovery algorithms as it achieves the highest cost-effective reachability.

Landscapes for transformation : a framework for planning greening design strategies in low-income schools in Chile
Creators: name: Valdebenito, Maria Jose
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The design of the physical environment has the potential to impede or enhance learning outcomes. The outdoor environments of low-income schools in Chile in particular often suffer from physical neglect, where barren expanses of asphalt that offer little to no stimulus for children are found. Researchers have noted that children may be increasingly lacking access and contact with nature, resulting in alienation from the natural world. Reintroducing nature into school grounds may bring several cognitive, psychological, and health benefits for children including an increased ability to concentrate and reduced stress and aggression levels. Beyond these benefits, researchers agree that the direct involvement of students in a greening process can spur environmental awareness and allow them to acquire skills related to democracy, participation and citizenship, and carry these skills into adulthood to become engaged and responsible members of their communities. This thesis provides a framework for planning a school ground greening process. The thesis aims to support school administrators in their goal to provide enhanced and greener learning environments for children. The thesis analyzed three case studies of greened low-income schools in Chile to identify cross cutting aspects between them relevant to accomplish change. The results indicated that applicable actions can be grouped in four categories; building engagement, aligning management, integrating curriculum, and creating partnerships. The proposed framework synthesizes relevant aspects within each of these categories, yielding important findings. First, a greening process is successful only as it involves and engages the entire school community including children, teachers, parents, neighbors, administrators, and the broader community of stakeholders. Second, in order to effectively sustain design outcomes, these need to be firmly connected to the curriculum during the planning, use and maintenance stages of the greening process, with teachers providing interdisciplinary learning opportunities. Finally, it is necessary that educational authorities convey a clear and strong message for schools by providing supportive greening policies, which is the only way to make these processes effective and become mainstream. The thesis aims to aid policymakers in these efforts.
From left to rights : Guatemalan women's struggle for justice
Creators: name: Nitsán, Tal
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: From Left to Rights is study of a social movement mobilized in the new age of rights—Guatemalan women’s organizations’ campaign to eradicate violence against women. The movement relies on and derives from women’s human rights discourse and the transnational feminist movement, yet it is a local manifestation of a search for justice, dignity and hope. The main protagonists of this campaign are Guatemalan women who have decided, for historic and strategic reasons, to use women’s human rights discourse to promote their struggle. Considering some of the discourse’s internal contradictions, and based on 15 months of ethnographic fieldwork in Guatemala City, I argue that in order for women’s human rights discourse to promote a substantial change in the lives of Guatemalans, the discourse is framed and practiced in terms of dignity. As I illustrate, Guatemalan women’s organizations emphasize and legitimize women’s diverse lived experiences. They encourage women to see themselves as worthy beings, as actors, and as the rightful protagonists of their own lives. They also motivate women to draw support from other women and to see themselves as part of a worthy community. Hence, these organizations inspire women to begin to imagine themselves not only as worthy of life, but also as worthy of happiness. In a reality in which envisioning change is an act of resistance, hope—the ability to imagine a better future—is the key mechanism to explain the social transformation attempted by Guatemala’s women’s rights campaign. Such individual and collective transformation further requires transforming the spaces in which they live to allow and encourage these new subjectivities. This dual, dialectical transition, I illustrate, is both an outcome of a long process, and a method to keep the (transformation) process going.

description: We report the discovery of 40 new satellite dwarf galaxy candidates in the sphere of influence of the Sombrero galaxy (M104) the most luminous galaxy in the Local Volume. Using the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam, we surveyed 14.4 square degrees of its surroundings, extending to the virial radius. Visual inspection of the deep images and GALFIT modelling yielded a galaxy sample highly complete down to $M_{g}\sim-9$ ($L_{g}\sim3\times 10^{5}\,L_\odot$) and spanning magnitudes $-16.4 < M_g < -8$ and half-light radii $50\,pc\ <\ r_e\ <\ 1600\,pc$ assuming the distance of M104. These 40 new, out of which 27 are group members with high confidence, double the number of potential satellites of M104 within the virial radius, placing it among the richest hosts in the Local Volume. Using a Principle Component Analysis (PCA), we find that the entire sample of candidates consistent with an almost circular on-sky distribution, more circular than any comparable environment found in the Illustris TNG100-1 simulation. However the distribution of the high probability sample is more oblate and consistent with the simulation. The cumulative satellite luminosity function is broadly consistent with analogues from the simulation, albeit it contains no bright satellite with $M_{g}<-16.4$ ($L_{g}\sim3 \times 10^{8}\,L_\odot$), a $2.3\,σ$ occurrence. Follow-up spectroscopy to confirm group membership will begin to demonstrate how these systems can act as probes of the structure and formation history of the halo of M104.

description: We report the direct detection of radiation pressure on the asteroid 2009 BD, one of the smallest multi-opposition near-Earth objects currently known, with H ~ 28.4. Under the purely gravitational model of NEODyS the object is currently considered a possible future impactor, with impact solutions starting in 2071. The detection of a radiation-related acceleration allows us to estimate an Area to Mass Ratio (AMR) for the object, that can be converted (under some assumptions) into a range of possible values for its average density. Our result AMR = (2.97 \pm 0.33) x 10^(-4) m^2 kg^(-1) is compatible with the object being of natural origin, and it is narrow enough to exclude a man-made nature. The possible origin of this object, its future observability, and the importance of radiation pressure in the impact monitoring process, are also discussed.

Measurements of the Partial Branching Fraction for B->Xulnu and the Determination of Vub

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: We measure partial branching fractions for the inclusive charmless semileptonic decay of $\Bxulnu$, and present determinations of the CKM matrix element $\Vub$. This analysis is based on a sample of 467 million $\FourS$ decays into $\BB$ pairs, collected with the \babar\ detector at the PEP-II $e^{+} e^{-}$ storage rings. We select events where one of the B mesons is fully reconstructed in a hadronic decay mode and the other B decays semileptonically into an electron or a muon. We then use the invariant mass, $\mx$, of the hadronic system, the invariant mass squared, $q^{2}$, of the lepton and neutrino pair, the lepton momentum in the in the $B$ meson rest frame $\Pl$, the kinematic variable $P_{+}$ or one of their combinations as discriminating variables to isolate $\Bxulnu$ decays from the background. We then measure the partial branching fractions in various regions of phase space These partial branching fractions are translated into values of $\Vub$ using several theoretical calculations. An estimate based on the most inclusive analysis gives $\Vub = (4.31\pm 0.35) \times 10^{-3}$. Furthermore, we place a limit on isospin breaking in $B\to X_u\ellν$ decays of 9% at 90% C.L. using separate measurements of partial branching ratios for $B^0$ and $B^+$.

description: We present a comprehensive multiwavelength analysis of the hot DB white dwarf PG 0112+104. Our analysis relies on newly-acquired FUSE observations, on medium-resolution FOS and GHRS data, on archival high-resolution GHRS observations, on optical spectrophotometry both in the blue and around Halpha, as well as on time-resolved photometry. From the optical data, we derive a self-consistent effective temperature of 31,300+-500 K, a surface gravity of log g = 7.8 +- 0.1 (M=0.52 Msun), and a hydrogen abundance of log N(H)/N(He) < -4.0. The FUSE spectra reveal the presence of CII and CIII lines that complement the previous detection of CII transitions with the GHRS. The improved carbon abundance in this hot object is log N(C)/N(He) = -6.15 +- 0.23. No photospheric features associated with other heavy elements are detected. We reconsider the role of PG 0112+104 in the definition of the blue edge of the V777 Her instability strip in light of our high-speed photometry, and contrast our results with those of previous observations carried out at the McDonald Observatory.

Income polarization and the emergence of a low income SkyTrain corridor in Metro Vancouver, 1971-2006
Creators: name: Jones, Craig E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Income inequality is on the increase internationally, in Western Anglophone nations, and in Canadian cities. In Metro Vancouver, broad processes of socio-spatial polarization in the region have led to the emergence of a low-income corridor that follows the SkyTrain Expo Line rapid transit alignment from East Vancouver to North Surrey. Within this low-income corridor there are processes of significant and varied neighbourhood change. The population of Metro Vancouver continues to expand, with this growth largely fueled by immigration. In order to accommodate population growth, increased residential density and transit-oriented development near SkyTrain stations has become a common public policy prescription. A mixed-methodology was pursued in order to conduct research at three geographical scales. At the scale of the Vancouver region, quantitative analysis is employed to discover associations between the demographics and the housing stock of neighbourhoods, and the average incomes of census tracts as well as changes in average incomes. At the sub-regional scale of the low-income corridor, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 key informants. Finally, at the local scale, two neighbourhoods were selected for further study. Four focus groups were conducted with a total of 26 residents of two neighbourhoods within the low-income corridor. The key findings of these methods are generally complementary. At the regional scale, the Vancouver CMA has seen an increase of income inequality. The socio-spatial polarization of neighbourhoods is a consequence of income inequality and these processes are strongly associated with visible minority status, immigration, and apartment unit dwellings. These three factors are central to understanding the emergence of, and dynamics in, the low-income corridor. Policies which encourage high-density development near SkyTrain stations in the low-income corridor have increased development pressure; particularly so for one district of affordable rental apartments which is largely occupied by recent immigrants of visible minority status. I urge scholars conducting research in urban income inequality to incorporate mixed methods and multi-scalar analysis into their research design. In doing so, our findings will be enriched, textured and challenged, and our projects made stronger.

description: The tremendous capacity gains promised by space division multiple access (SDMA) depend critically on the accuracy of the transmit channel state information. In the broadcast channel, even without any network interference, it is known that such gains collapse due to interstream interference if the feedback is delayed or low rate. In this paper, we investigate SDMA in the presence of interference from many other simultaneously active transmitters distributed randomly over the network. In particular we consider zero-forcing beamforming in a decentralized (ad hoc) network where each receiver provides feedback to its respective transmitter. We derive closed-form expressions for the outage probability, network throughput, transmission capacity, and average achievable rate and go on to quantify the degradation in network performance due to residual self-interference as a function of key system parameters. One particular finding is that as in the classical broadcast channel, the per-user feedback rate must increase linearly with the number of transmit antennas and SINR (in dB) for the full multiplexing gains to be preserved with limited feedback. We derive the throughput-maximizing number of streams, establishing that single-stream transmission is optimal in most practically relevant settings. In short, SDMA does not appear to be a prudent design choice for interference-limited wireless networks.

description: Quenched disorder is known to play a relevant role in dynamical processes and phase transitions. Its effects on the dynamics of complex networks have hardly been studied. Aimed at filling this gap, we analyze the Contact Process, i.e. the simplest propagation model, with quenched disorder on complex networks. We find Griffiths phases and other rare region effects, leading rather generically to anomalously slow (algebraic, logarithmic, ...) relaxation, on Erd\H os-Rényi networks. Similar effects are predicted to exist for other topologies with a finite percolation threshold. More surprisingly, we find that Griffiths phases can also emerge in the absence of quenched disorder, as a consequence of topological heterogeneity in networks with finite topological dimension. These results have a broad spectrum of implications for propagation phenomena and other dynamical processes on networks.

description: We study the implications of lattice QCD determinations of the S-wave nucleon-nucleon scattering lengths at unphysical light quark masses. It is found that with the help of nuclear effective field theory (NEFT), not only the quark mass dependence of the effective range parameters, but also the leading quark mass dependence of all the low energy deuteron matrix elements can be obtained. The quark mass dependence of deuteron charge radius, magnetic moment, polarizability and the deuteron photodisintegration cross section are shown based on the NPLQCD lattice calculation of the scattering lengths at 354 MeV pion mass and the NEFT power counting scheme of Beane, Kaplan and Vuorinen. Further improvement can be obtained by performing the lattice calculation at smaller quark masses. Our result can be used to constrain the time variation of isoscalar combination of u and d quark mass m_q, to help the anthropic principle study to find the m_q range which allows the existence of life, and to provide a weak test of the multiverse conjecture.

description: Presented are selected results of semileptonic B decays at BaBar. Two measurements of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element $|V_{cb}|$ are reported. One using moments of the hadronic-mass spectrum in inclusive $\bar{B} \to X_{c} \ell^{-} \barν$ decays, and the other, exclusive $\bar{B} \to D \ell^- \barν_{\ell}$ decays. These results are based on data samples of 232 (inclusive $\bar{B} \to X_{c} \ell^{-} \barν$) and 460 (exclusive $\var{B} \to D \ell^- \barν_{\ell}$) million $Υ(4S) \to B\bar{B}$ decays, recorded by the $BaBar$ detector at the PEP-II $e^+e^-$-storage rings. Semileptonic B decays are identified by requiring a lepton ($e$ or $μ$) in events tagged with a full reconstruction of one of the B mesons in the $B\bar{B}$ pair.

description: To analyze complex phenomena which involve moving objects, Trajectory Data Warehouse (TDW) seems to be an answer for many recent decision problems related to various professions (physicians, commercial representatives, transporters, ecologists ...) concerned with mobility. This work aims to make trajectories as a first class concept in the trajectory data conceptual model and to design a TDW, in which data resulting from mobile information collectors' trajectory are gathered. These data will be analyzed, according to trajectory characteristics, for decision making purposes, such as new products commercialization, new commerce implementation, etc.

description: Gamma-ray emission produced by interactions between cosmic rays (CRs) and interstellar gas traces the product of their densities throughout the Milky Way. The outer Galaxy is a privileged target of investigation to separate interstellar structures seen along the line of sight. Recent observations by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) shed light on open questions of the EGRET era about the distribution of CR densities and the census of the interstellar medium. The gradient of gamma-ray emissivities measured in the outer Galaxy is significantly flatter than predictions from widely used CR propagation models given the rapid decline of putative CR sources beyond the solar circle. Large propagation volumes, with halo heights up to 20 kpc, or a flat CR source distribution are required to match the data. Other viable possibilities include non-uniform CR diffusion properties or more gas than accounted for by the radio/mm-wave data. Gamma-ray data constrain the evolution of the Xco=N(H2)/W(CO) ratio within a few kpc from the Sun. There is a significant increase by a factor 2 from nearby clouds in the Gould Belt to the local spur. No further significant variations are measured from the local spur to the Perseus spiral arm. At the level of statistical accuracy provided by the LAT data, the most important source of uncertainty, often overlooked so far, is due to the optical depth correction applied to derive the column densities of H I. Reliable determinations of the amount of atomic gas in the plane are key to better probe the properties of CRs in the Galaxy.

Photonic materials based on cellulose nanocrystals

description: The self-assembly of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) into a chiral nematic structure exhibiting photonic properties has garnered much interest in recent years. The development of free-standing chiral nematic films composed of mesoporous silica and organosilica using CNCs as a template has led to a number of studies on producing photonic films composed of inorganic compounds. These films can be tuned to reflect light within the visible spectrum, yielding an assortment of films that exhibit structural colour that is retained once formed, and can no longer be modified. The incorporation of a photonic structure into a flexible material, such as a hydrogel, would allow for colour changes to transpire after the film is formed. Here, the integration of a chiral nematic photonic structure into hydrogel films prepared from different monomers is reported. The swelling of the photonic hydrogels was explored through the use of UV-visible spectroscopy, and the strength of the gels was investigated. In addition to the formation of tunable photonic structures based on CNCs, also reported is the formation of hybrid photonic structures produced by combining two classes of photonic crystals. These films build onto the chiral nematic mesoporous silica films by introducing a secondary photonic structure, based on the close packed arrangement of nanospheres. These novel hybrid photonic structures were synthesized, and characterized using electron microscopy. The successful formation of composite photonic materials, such as CNC-hydrogels, and hybrid photonic films displays the potential for CNC to be used as a template to build photonic structures in a wide array of systems.

Strategies for fostering reading comprehension in English Language Learners : simple and complex vocabulary instruction
Creators: name: Johnston, Lauren E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: A link between vocabulary knowledge and reading comprehension has been well-established in research, and students who are English Language Learners (ELLs) are at risk for difficulties in both general reading achievement as well as academic vocabulary knowledge. Despite this link, relatively few studies have examined whether direct vocabulary instruction is an effective strategy for improving reading comprehension in students who are ELLs. The current study investigated whether incorporating vocabulary instructional procedures into brief, individualized reading fluency interventions would successfully enhance reading comprehension in students who were ELLs. An alternating treatments design comparing two instructional vocabulary procedures with a fluency-building only condition was used with four students who were ELLs. It was hypothesized that participants would show greater gains in reading comprehension following interventions that featured vocabulary instruction compared to interventions with no vocabulary instruction components. Further, it was predicted that instructional procedures encouraging active engagement with words would improve students’ comprehension more than simple vocabulary instructional procedures. Finally, participants’ reading fluency was examined to determine whether spending intervention time on vocabulary instruction in place of extra fluency exercises negatively impacted their reading fluency. In contrast with the study hypotheses, results indicated that neither one of the two vocabulary instructional procedures resulted in significant improvements in students’ comprehension of either taught or untaught material. However, instructional time spent on vocabulary activities yielded similar gains in reading fluency as time spent on additional fluency-building activities. In light of the findings, practical implications for reading interventions as well as future research directions are discussed.

description: The First World War occupies a significant, though not uncontested place in the Australian imaginary. Australia’s literary engagement with the First World War began in 1914 and continues to the present day. This does not mean, however, that Australian writers have approached this subject from a single vantage point or in a unified style. Nor does an uninterrupted string of poems, novels, memoirs and plays connect the war years with the war’s centenary. This article surveys the rich and varied archive produced over this long time-span.

description: Bolometers are ideal devices in the search for neutrinoless Double Beta Decay. Enlarging the mass of individual detectors would simplify the construction of a large experiment, but would also decrease the background per unit mass induced by alpha-emitters located close to the surfaces and background arising from external and internal gamma's. We present the very promising results obtained with a 2.13 kg TeO2 crystal. This bolometer, cooled down to a temperature of 10.5 mK in a dilution refrigerator located deep underground in the Gran Sasso National Laboratories, represents the largest thermal detector ever operated. The detector exhibited an energy resolution spanning a range from 3.9 keV (at 145 keV) to 7.8 keV (at the 2615 gamma-line of 208Tl) FWHM. We discuss the decrease in the background per unit mass that can be achieved increasing the mass of a bolometer.
