description: Controlling molecular assembly by analytes is attractive for analytical techniques. Herein, we designed and synthesized amphiphilic boronic acid fluorescent probes (B-Nap-C8) possessing naphthaleneboronic acid as a saccharide recognition site and alkyl chain as a hydrophobic moiety. We evaluated their saccharide recognition function in relation to the fluorescent or absorption intensity changes of the assembled B-Nap-C8. Also, we evaluated the saccharide recognition function of B-Nap-C8 by the effect of co-surfactants. B-Nap-C8 forms micelles and recognizes fructose at pH 10. In the presence of surfactants, B-Nap-C8 with the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) micelle can recognize fructose at neutral pH. On the other hand, B-Nap-C8 with the sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micelle recognizes fructose at pH > 10. This is caused by the decrease of the apparent pKa of B-Nap-C8 on the surface of the cationic CTAB micelle. The micelle formation of B-Nap-C8 with CTAB was confirmed by TEM observation, and the critical micelle concentration of B-Nap-C8 with CTAB was determined to be 1.79 mM from the CTAB titration measurements. From the saccharide titration experiments, B-Nap-C8 with CTAB micelles selectively recognizes fructose at neutral pH. The selectivity for saccharides was not observed in the saccharide titration of B-Nap-C8 with SDS. Thus, the co-surfactant systems with B-Nap-C8 were found to control the selectivity for saccharide recognition in water.

description: The studies reported here focus on the extraction of La(III), Eu(III), and Yb(III) by chelating hexadentate 3-alkoxy-2-hydroxyphenyl substituted diimine ligands using the extraction system Ln(NO3)3–Zn(NO3)2–NaNO3–buffer–H2O/diimine-n-caprylic acid–CHCl3. Significant synergistic enhancement has been observed for the Ln(III) extraction from nitrate media in the presence of Zn(II) and n-caprylic acid. These effects can be interpreted by self-assembly of heterodinuclear Zn(II)/Ln(III) complexes with both deprotonated extractants in the organic phase taking into account solution and solid-state structural studies. The structures identified and the extraction behavior as well as the different factors influencing the process will be discussed in detail. The goals of these experiments are to find preferred structure-extractability relationships for the synergistic systems investigated.

description: A rather elusive helicity reversal occurs in a gedanken experiment in which a massive left-handed Dirac neutrino, traveling at a velocity u < c, is overtaken on a highway by a speeding vehicle (traveling at velocity v with u < v < c). Namely, after passing the neutrino, looking back, one would see a right-handed neutrino (which has never been observed in nature). The Lorentz-invariant mass of the right-handed neutrino is still the same as before the passing. The gedanken experiment thus implies the existence of right-handed, light neutrinos, which are not completely sterile. Furthermore, overtaking a bunch of massive right-handed Dirac neutrinos leads to gradual de-sterilization. We discuss the helicity reversal and the concomitant sterilization and de-sterilization mechanisms by way of an illustrative example calculation, with a special emphasis on massive Dirac and Majorana neutrinos. We contrast the formalism with a modified Dirac neutrino described by a Dirac equation with a pseudoscalar mass term proportional to the fifth current.

description: We compare the extraction and separation performance of a newly developed fluorous extractant, tris(4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,7-nonafluoroheptyl) phosphate (TFP) in a fluorinated diluent perfluorohexane, for trivalent lanthanide ions (LnIII) with a conventional organic extractant, tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) in n-octane. Interestingly, the fluorinated extractant TFP exhibits a superior extraction performance for LnIII than the organic extractant TBP, despite the tendency of hydrocarbon fluorination to reduce the extraction performance. Furthermore, the high separation factors among LnIII by TFP suggest that the separation performance of TFP is superior to that of TBP. We proved the superior extraction and separation performance of TFP by comparing the coordination environment of the extracted TFP and TBP complexes, the fluorous phase, and the organic phase. From a microscopic perspective, luminescence lifetime measurements and extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy revealed the near coordination environment of EuIII in the extracted complex of the extracting phase. Hydrating water scarcely exists in the EuIII-TFP complex, while the EuIII-TBP complex has at least one hydrating water molecule. On the other hand, from a macroscopic perspective, water and nitrate anion transport into the extracting phase during EuIII extraction are revealing. The large amounts of water and NO3− anions in the organic phase compared to those in the fluorous phase suggest that the extraction of water and NO3− anions somehow impairs the extraction of EuIII into the organic phase. Hence, TFP in a fluorinated diluent can be used as an alternative extraction and separation system for LnIII.

description: Background: Canadian refugee healthcare has been impacted by periodic upheavals including federal funding cuts, Syrian and Yazidi resettlement programs, and COVID-19. These upheavals may have led to changes in clinic use, demographics, clinic policy, or may impact provider wellness. Refugees are a vulnerable population with specific biopsychosocial health needs. One model of care that can address these needs is a specialized refugee health clinic. Understanding the impacts of recent upheavals on a specialized refugee health clinic’s utilization, its staff and clinicians is critical. Methods: We used a mixed methods sequential explanatory case study design to investigate changes (including patient demographic characteristics, clinic utilization, and care adaptations), at a specialized refugee health clinic in Calgary from 2011 to 2020, across five time periods: Pre-Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) Cuts, IFHP Cuts, Syrian Surge, Yazidi Period, and COVID-19. We used segmented linear regression (SLR), Kruskal-Wallis, and chi-square analyses to assess quantitative changes to utilization and demographics across these time periods. Then we conducted semi-structured interviews with clinic leadership which we analyzed thematically. Finally, we merged our quantitative and qualitative findings, by assessing which of our qualitative themes converged with our quantitative findings during each time period. Results: We included 10,661 patients in our quantitative analysis; 48.2% were female and the mean age was 24.4 years (SD: 17.0). The most common region of origin was first East Africa, and then West Asia after the Syrian period. Total monthly appointments increased 576% from 478/month to 2752/month over 10 years. The mean appointments/month increased significantly (p<0.05) during each time period, but the rate of increase varied. Our qualitative and merged results converged with and expanded upon these quantitative results, especially by emphasizing the impact of health system upheavals on provider wellness. Conclusion: Utilization increased greatly over different policy changes and a pandemic, at a specialized refugee clinic over ten years. These upheavals challenged clinic leadership and providers to adapt. Qualitative participants consistently indicated that the stress of these upheavals negatively impacted staff wellness and patient care. Canada and other countries of resettlement should consider how health policies and other upheavals may have downstream consequences.
Moduli stabilization in type II Calabi-Yau compactifications at finite temperature

description: We consider the type II superstring compactified on Calabi-Yau threefolds at finite temperature. The latter is implemented at the string level by a free action on the Euclidean time circle. We show that all Kahler and complex structure moduli involved in the gauge theories geometrically engineered in the vicinity of singular loci are lifted by the stringy thermal effective potential. The analysis is based on the effective gauged supergravity at low energy, without integrating out the BPS states becoming massless at the singular loci. The universal form of the action in the weak coupling regime at low enough temperature is determined in two cases. Namely the conifold locus, as well as a locus where the internal space develops a genus-g curve of A{N-1} singularities, realizing an SU(N) gauge theory coupled to g hypermultiplets in the adjoint. In general, the favored points of stabilization sit at the intersection of several singular loci. Thus the entire vector multiplet moduli space can be lifted, together with hypermultiplet moduli. The scalars are dynamically stabilized during the cosmological evolution induced by the back-reaction of the thermal effective potential. When the universe expands and the temperature T drops, the scalars converge to minima, with damped oscillations. Moreover, they store an energy density that scales as T^4, which never dominates over radiation. The reason for this is that the mass they acquire at one-loop is of order the temperature scale, which is time-dependent. As an example we analyze the type IIA compactification on a Calabi-Yau space with Hodge numbers h{11}=2 and h{12}=128. In this case, both Kahler moduli are stabilized, where the internal space develops a node and an enhanced SU(2) gauge theory coupled to 2 adjoint hypermultiplets. This shows that in the dual thermal heterotic picture on K3xT^2, the torus modulus and the axio-dilaton are stabilized.

Applications of U-decay series isotopes to studying the meridional overturning circulation and particle dynamics in the ocean
Creators: name: Luo, Yiming
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Two important questions in the fields of paleoceanography and marine biogeochemistry (the reconstruction of past changes in the strength and geometry of the ocean’s overturning circulation and the quantification of particle flux to the seafloor) are addressed using three isotopes from the U-decay series (²³⁴Th, ²³⁰Th and ²³¹Pa). Two-dimensional scavenging models of the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean were tuned to reproduce the ²³⁰Th and ²³¹Pa seawater activity profiles measured in these oceans and used to establish the distribution of sediment ²³¹Pa/²³⁰Th generated by simple meridional overturning circulation cells. The results indicate that circulation is the main factor controlling the distribution of sediment ²³¹Pa/²³⁰Th in the Atlantic and confirm the use of this proxy as a paleocirculation tracer. In the Pacific, both circulation and boundary scavenging are important in determining the distribution of sediment ²³¹Pa/²³⁰Th. Thorium-234 scavenging and moored sediment traps yield similar particle flux estimates in Saanich Inlet, on the coast of British Columbia. This study highlights the possibility of estimating the flux of organic carbon in coastal waters by simply measuring ²³⁴Th and POC on particles, which would provide a simple and rapid method for large scale monitoring. Measurements of ²³⁴Th and ²³⁰Th dissolved in seawater and adsorbed on three different size classes of particle were used to estimate particle flux in the epipelagic and mesopelagic zone of the ocean at station Papa. The results suggest that a significant fraction of the carbon flux can be associated with very large, rapidly-sinking particles with very low Th activities, and unaccounted for in Th-based flux estimates.

description: The Long-Term Development (LTD) model is utilized by multiple National Sport Organization (NSO) to aid in the development and progression of individuals who partake in physical activity. The LTD model consists of 7 stages (Active Start; FUNdamentals; Learn to Train; Train to Train; Train to Compete; Train to Win; Active for Life) which track and progress various skills during target training times to aid in improving performance. The LTD model works on developing five elements of sport which consists of physical, technical, tactical, psychological, and emotional skills. Under the current LTD model, there lacks research on the Psychological Skills Training (PST) that are implemented throughout the stages of development. A content analysis was conducted to determine upper level categories in regards to PST for determining the type of psychological skills being prescribed at the Train to Train; Train to Compete; Train to Win stages. Twelve upper level categories were found through this content analysis 1) Individual Psychological Preparation, 2) Psychological Skills Development, 3) Competition Plans & Routines, 4) External Factors, 5) Arousal, Anxiety and Stress Management, 6) Communication, 7) Sport Enjoyment, 8) Self-Talk, 9) Goal Setting, 10) Imagery/Visualization, 11) Teamwork Components, 12) Focus/Refocus. An evaluation of these categories and the progression between the stages being analyzed were shown to have inconsistencies in progression and prescription. An analysis to determine the prevalence of PST in various sport types (Individual; Team; Combative; Artistic) was also completed. Findings show a lack of regularity in PST recommendation throughout both stages and sport types. Intentional practice and consistency should be advised to ensure adequate understanding and utilizing PST.

Special attention is paid to the region of small relative momenta of the 3He constituents, where the single parameter, D_2, has determining role for the spin-dependent observables in the d+p channel. This fact results in some useful relations between experimental observables.

description: The goal of this thesis was to create a storybook and implement it in two upper- division Zoology courses at the University of Calgary to investigate if storybooks are effective in communicating complex scientific concepts. This thesis also aimed to examine if the use of storybooks would facilitate the development of positive attitudes toward parasites and this educational tool in undergraduates. Findings in this study suggest that Nick the Tick storybook had a positive impact on undergraduates’ conceptual understanding of parasites. It also had a positive impact on undergraduates’ attitudes toward parasites and storybooks as an educational tool. Results and data from this study can provide a useful framework for the design and development of future storybooks for public outreach.

description: Let X be a symmetric space of non-compact type or a locally finite, strongly transitive Euclidean building, and let B denote the geodesic boundary of X. We reduce the study of visual limits of maximal flats in X to the study of limits of apartments in the spherical building B: this defines a natural, geometric compactification of the space of maximal flats of X. We then completely determine the possible degenerations of apartments when X is of rank 1, associated to a classical group of rank 2 or to PGL(4). In particular, we exhibit remarkable behaviours of visual limits of maximal flats in various symmetric spaces of small rank and surprising algebraic restrictions that occur.

description: The decay constants of the charmed heavy pseudoscalar D and D_s mesons are revisited within a recently developed novel approach to dispersive QCD sum rules which relies on an unprejudiced implementation of quark-hadron duality. The proposed modification of the conventional sum-rule techniques is assessed by applying our prescriptions to quantum mechanics, where exact solutions may be easily obtained by simply solving the Schrödinger equation. The very striking similarity of the extraction procedures of bound-state parameters in potential models and in QCD gives us great confidence in the reliability of our improvements of the sum-rule formalism and their applicability to hadron phenomenology. The implications of one's chosen definition of the heavy-quark masses are scrutinized and the MS-bar quark-mass scheme is identified as the optimal choice for our purposes. Our ideas turn out to reconcile QCD sum-rule predictions for the charmed-meson decay constants (which before tended to be markedly too low) with the findings of both lattice QCD and experiment.

Extremal properties of the variance and the quantum Fisher information

description: We show that the variance is its own concave roof. For rank-2 density matrices and operators with zero diagonal elements in the eigenbasis of the density matrix, we prove analytically that the quantum Fisher information is four times the convex roof of the variance. Strong numerical evidence suggests that this statement is true even for operators with nonzero diagonal elements or density matrices with a rank larger than 2. We also find that within the different types of generalized quantum Fisher information considered in [D. Petz, J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 35, 929 (2002); P. Gibilisco, F. Hiai, and D. Petz, IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory 55, 439 (2009)], after appropriate normalization, the quantum Fisher information is the largest. Hence, we conjecture that the quantum Fisher information is four times the convex roof of the variance even for the general case.

description: Significant reductions in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are required to mitigate the effects of climate change. For hard-to-abate sectors like transportation, the use of biofuels is playing and will play a growing role in decarbonization. While much research has focused on the environmental benefits of second-generation biofuels, technological advances could apply to the production of the most widely used biofuel in transport today: first-generation bioethanol. This could reduce its carbon intensity in the short term, thereby increasing its competitiveness as a transportation fuel and opening new possibilities for its usage as a feedstock for chemicals before alternative technologies, such as electric vehicles and lignocellulosic-based biofuel, can be deployed at scale. This thesis evaluates two technology options for their potential to reduce the carbon intensity of corn ethanol using Aspen Plus® simulation coupled with techno-economic and life cycle assessment. The first option is the capture of fermentation emissions and oxycombustion capture of fossil fuel-based emissions for steam utility provision in the ethanol production step of the life cycle. In lieu of this, the electrification of process heat provision through the integration of heat pumps is investigated. Capturing the emissions has the potential of removing up to 99.6% of total emission, which is 187 ktCO2 annually in a 40 MGY dry grind ethanol mill, at an additional purchased equipment cost of $15.5M, with the composition of the compressed CO2 meeting a pipeline transport requirement. In the alternative electrification scenario, there is a 63% reduction from 7.55MJ/L in the base plant heat demand, with a 259% increase in electricity demand at an additional purchased equipment cost of $8.7M. LCA and TEA results showed a net reduction of the life cycle carbon intensity by 84% to 8.9 gCO2eq/MJ when both biogenic and fossil CO2 are captured at the cost of 95 USD/tCO2. There is almost no change to life cycle emissions in the electrification case due to the relatively high carbon intensity of the current US electricity grid. However, the life cycle carbon intensity can be reduced by 113% to -7.1 gCO2eq/MJ when zero-emission renewable electricity is introduced with all technology interventions.

description: The paper presents new criteria for bijectivity/transitivity of T-functions and fast knapsack-like algorithm of evaluation of a T-function. Our approach is based on non-Archimedean ergodic theory: Both the criteria and algorithm use van der Put series to represent 1-Lipschitz $p$-adic functions and to study measure-preservation/ergodicity of these.
Geoarchaeological Analysis of Floodplain Carbon Cycling and Holocene Landforming Processes Using Buried Soils, Bow River, Southern Alberta

description: River processes, like erosion and deposition, and soil forming processes, namely organic matter decomposition and carbon mineralization, operate on land surfaces within floodplains to create distinct depositional layers. Soil horizons buried among floodplain sediment deposits indicate the existence of a former land surface, which can be approximately dated using embedded organic materials to reconstruct coarse land formation timelines. These soil and sediment layers may also be the deposition matrix for archaeological and paleontological materials that comprise the geoarchaeological record in a floodplain. A wealth of recent research on the paleoenvironmental and archaeological records within the Bow River watershed was published following the monumental flooding and subsequent geomorphological impacts that occurred in June of 2013. My research aims to combine these existing studies with additional primary empirical research to contribute to the reconstruction of Holocene channel evolution in the Bow River watershed and to advance knowledge regarding the role that floodplain soils occupy in carbon sequestration. Data derived from a laboratory analysis of sediment samples collected along the banks of the Bow River were interpreted using a combination of established theoretical frameworks regarding stratified floodplain sediment storage spanning the disciplines of archaeology and geomorphology. Analysis at one site shows that a fluventic soil and sediment profile formed approximately 3000 years ago from cyclical overbank flooding and deposition and subsequent stability and soil development. The soils likely developed over decades in which there was relative stability on the floodplain, which is not unlike the scale of cyclical flooding observed in the watershed since colonization. Floodplain soil and sediment profiles may have different carbon storage potential than upland soils due to unique vertical soil organic carbon content distributions. Comparing the vertical distribution of soil organic carbon between floodplain and upland soils showed a difference in carbon sequestration potential between upland and floodplain environments in the region and pointed towards fluvial processes being a driver in creating this difference. This research contributes new data and knowledge regarding the magnitude and mechanisms of floodplain carbon cycling, specifically in the context of the Northern Great Plains, plus enrich contextual knowledge of regional geoarchaeology.
