Livelihood interventions in conservation: expectations and reality around protected areas in Cameroon
Creators: name: Wright, Juliet
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Livelihood interventions are often implemented in villages adjacent to protected areas with the aim of reducing the biodiversity impacts of local livelihood practices by promoting substitute activities. Despite uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of these so-called ‘alternative livelihood projects’, they still remain a go-to strategy in both the terrestrial and marine conservation realms. In this thesis, I critically reflect on the role of livelihood interventions in conservation by examining key assumptions made during their design and implementation, their mechanisms of impact, and the social-ecological systems in which they are embedded. Drawing insights from livelihoods research and behavioural science, I specifically investigate how livelihood projects aimed at reducing bushmeat hunting in Cameroon function in practice and consider how a broad range of factors influence livelihood decision making. Using qualitative research methods, I compare the perceptions and experiences of participants and implementers in relation to twenty alternative livelihood projects implemented around two protected areas. I scrutinise the theories of change underlying these projects and explore where breakages in the chain of logic occur. Using a comprehensive behavioural science theory – the COM-B model – as a diagnostic framework, I identify barriers to behaviour change as well as potential enablers. I then present an illustrative case study focused on urban-based out-migrants to demonstrate the importance of intervention targeting by highlighting how natural resource use and reliance can differ between community sub-groups, and the ways in which this can evolve under different economic scenarios. My research shows that key assumptions, such as those based on the notions of substitution, the homogenous community and impact scalability, are flawed. The development of more nuanced and realistic theories of change that clearly articulate how interventions are expected to have an impact is critical to enable greater scrutiny and further develop an evidence base for what works. Project implementers typically underestimate the time and resources required, as well as the complexity, of intervening to alter people’s livelihood strategies. Motivation is key to determining whether promoted livelihood practices are adopted, yet what motivates people to do what they do is often overlooked. Moderating expectations and integrally involving the resource users to be targeted from the outset is essential. Livelihood interventions require deep thought, collaboration, a thorough analysis of the situation, more precise targeting and a greater understanding of livelihoods and behaviour change processes to be effective. Factors that can enhance or limit a project’s impact are outlined in a set of guiding principles to inform the design and implementation of livelihood interventions moving forward.

Efficient and Robust Federated Learning with Diverse and Dynamic Data
Creators: name: Tuor, Tiffany

description: Traditional machine learning algorithms require data to be centralized. In practice, data is often generated at multiple locations. Transmitting all the data to a central location is often impractical due to resource constraints but also privacy concerns. Federated learning addresses this problem by allowing clients to collaboratively learn a global model, while keeping their raw data stored locally. Existing federated learning approaches face some limitations when applied to real-world systems. This thesis aims to address some of these limitations, specifically to improve resource efficiency and robustness of federated learning with heterogeneous and dynamic data. In the first part of this thesis, we optimize resource efficiency and robustness of federated learning under spatial data diversity. We propose an algorithm able to learn systems characteristics in real-time and dynamically adapt the frequency of aggregation to maximize the learning accuracy for a given resource budget. Furthermore, most existing federated learning approaches focus on training a model using pre-defined datasets at the client nodes. However, the spatial diversity of data collected at each client can often affect model accuracy. To consider this data diversity but also noisy data, we propose an approach to select only relevant data for a given machine learning task. In the second part of this thesis, we address temporal data heterogeneity, which is caused by clients dropping out of the systems before completion of the learning task due to energy or connectivity constraints at the clients. To this end, we propose a continual learning approach that allows the global model to continuously learn on data changing over time, without forgetting previously learned information. This new continual learning approach is readily applicable to federated learning. Finally, aiming to address problems related to system heterogeneity, we propose an approach to efficiently monitor and forecast resource utilisation in large-scale and heterogeneous distributed systems.

description: (–)-Spartiene, a naturally occurring lupin alkaloid, has been used as a chiral ligand by various groups over the years to perform many different types of asymmetric transformations. Due to the unique structure that lupin alkaloids possess, the quinolizidine structure bound together through a central bispidine core, it allows for (–)-sparteine to act as a bidendate ligand around metal catalysts providing a chiral framework. This enables for the induction of chirality when synthesizing chiral structures. (–)-Sparteine is an exceptional chiral ligand in its own right.

Nucleo per artisti al Murnerei (Gole della Breggia): Shinrin Yoku
Creators: name: Gurini, Viola
Publisher: name: Scuola Universitaria della Svizzera Italiana (SUPSI)

description: L’area di intervento si trova situata nella zona del parco delle Gole della Breggia. Caratteristica di questo luogo è la stratificazione delle rocce che la Breggia a generato mediante la sua attività di erosione. Dallo studio del luogo in cui è richiesta la realizzazione dell’opera sono emerse molte caratteristiche utili ad uno sviluppo progettuale coerente con l’ambiente circostante e con gli edifici esistenti. La trama che presentano le rocce erose è stata fondamentale per la prima idea di progetto e per il successivo sviluppo costruttivo, nella fattispecie la scelta del materiale per la realizzazione dell’opera e la relativa texture. La vicinanza alla Saceba e l’impostazione del progetto in pianta mi hanno suggerito fin da subito che il materiale più coerente per la realizzazione dell’opera poteva essere il calcestruzzo. È stato progettati quindi un edificio con una base comune in cui si trova l’esposizione che rappresenta il basamento sia a livello progettuale che a livello simbolico poiché stà alla base degli atelier e quindi delle arti in generale. Dal livello del terreno si articolano gli atelier costituiti da elementi a C in calcestruzzo facciavista. I volumi sono di altezze differenti che seguono la graduale pendenza verso est del terreno. Questa impostazione va quindi a simulare le linee frammentarie presenti sulle rocce erose dell’acqua. L’esposizione, locale freddo ed interrato, presenta aperture in corrispondenza della soletta superiore collocate con esposizione a sud-ovest così da poter utilizzare la luce naturale offerta durante il giorno. Attraverso un percorso molto lineare si può accedere ad ovest, percorrere l’esposizione e uscire all’estremità est del terreno. Gli atelier invece, racchiusi dai profili a C quasi interamente, sono luoghi maggiormente intimi e dedicati agli artisti e per essi è prevista una grande apertura a nord verso la montagna così da poter godere della luce proveniente da nord, più adatta al lavoro di pittori e scultori. Gli atelier si articolano con una doppia altezza così da permettere anche ai danzatori di potersi muovere più liberamente in altezza. Mentre la parte abitativa è su due piani, al piano terra la zona giorno, al primo piano la zona notte. Il primo blocco ad ovest è differente rispetto agli altri poiché presenta al piano interrato depositi e locale tecnico, mentre i piani superiori sono dedicati agli spazi di condivisione come bar e ristorante. Si viene quindi a creare una sorta di nucleo, con un impianto un po’ differente da quello classico.

description: Interference alignment (IA), given uncorrelated channel components and perfect channel state information, obtains the maximum degrees of freedom in an interference channel. Little is known, however, about how the sum rate of IA behaves at finite transmit power, with imperfect channel state information, or antenna correlation. This paper provides an approximate closed-form signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) expression for IA over multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) channels with imperfect channel state information and transmit antenna correlation. Assuming linear processing at the transmitters and zero-forcing receivers, random matrix theory tools are utilized to derive an approximation for the post-processing SINR distribution of each stream for each user. Perfect channel knowledge and i.i.d. channel coefficients constitute special cases. This SINR distribution not only allows easy calculation of useful performance metrics like sum rate and symbol error rate, but also permits a realistic comparison of IA with other transmission techniques. More specifically, IA is compared with spatial multiplexing and beamforming and it is shown that IA may not be optimal for some performance criteria.

description: The production of sulfur (S) from the biological oxidization of sulfide (S2−) by SOB (sulfide-oxidizing bacteria) allows for resource recovery. Past researches have indicated that S recovery from S2− oxidation MABR (the membrane aerated biofilm reactor) was feasible. The process was complicated by the requirement of maintaining appropriate oxygen supply to prevent the produced S from being further oxidized into sulfate (SO42−) and by the presence of heterotrophic biomass. In this study, a multispecies biofilm model was developed and experimentally validated to gain insight for the S recovery process in MABR. The developed model was capable of predicting the S recovery performance in the MABR. The optimal conditions involved in maintaining the appropriate oxygen flux and the biofilm thickness according to the hydraulic and S2− loading rate. The low anoxic heterotrophic growth rate using SO42− and S as electron donors could explain why the impact of heterotrophic growth was insignificant.
Emotional processes in online parent learning : examining the impact of shame and countering self-related appraisals on parent learning outcomes
Creators: name: Low, Sok Yee (Angela)
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Online parenting workshops are important contexts of learning for today’s parents. Responses to such workshops are varied, the same information can leave some parents feeling empowered and others distressed, affecting their capacity for learning. Existing research suggests that parents may be especially prone to feeling the self-conscious emotions of shame and guilt, which are associated with certain cognitive appraisals and response tendencies that may impact learning processes. Applying shame theories to the context of parent education, this study tested the efficacy of an intervention designed to counter shame and examined the effects of shame and self-related appraisals on learning outcomes in an online parenting workshop. Two groups of parents completed a self-paced workshop that included an activity and a video expected to evoke shame or guilt. The experimental group (n = 116) was provided with messages designed to counter shame appraisals during the workshop, while the comparison group (n = 124) did not receive such messages. Results showed that parents who received the shame-countering messages scored higher in a post-workshop knowledge test than those who did not. Furthermore, regression analyses revealed that shame negatively impacted learning outcomes whereas guilt contributed positively to them. Guilt seemed especially adaptive for parents reporting high levels of shame, buffering the impact of shame on their learning outcomes. Parents’ appraisals of the workshop as exposing their flaws and failings (appraisals of inadequacy) and as a reminder to be a better parent (appraisals of self-improvement) were both found to predict feelings of guilt, but only appraisals of inadequacy as a parent predicted shame. These self-appraisals had distinct effects on learning outcomes. Parents who felt that the workshop exposed their inadequacies reported lower receptivity, engagement, motivation to repair and knowledge test scores. Thinking that one should be a better parent predicted higher ratings across all learning outcomes and seemed to buffer the negative impact of making self-appraisals of inadequacy on learning outcomes. Overall, the findings suggest that shame, guilt and self-related appraisals play important roles in parents’ learning processes and specific implications of these emotions in the context of parent education are discussed.

The interactions are treated as a beam of particles travelling through a static photon field. Gaussian process regression has been used to increase the event calculation rate by a factor of ∼ 1000. A strong field QED event generator that models the nonlinear Breit-Wheeler process and nonlinear Compton scattering has been developed and integrated into Geant4. Deep learning has been used to emulate this package and increases the calculation rate by a factor of ∼ 1000, allowing the package to be used as a forward model for Bayesian inference to aid the design and analysis of strong field QED experiments. The tools developed were used to design and analyse a photon-photon collider experiment at the Gemini laser facility. This collided a ∼ 50 fs beam of gamma rays (> 100 MeV) with a ∼ 40 ps beam of x-rays (∼ 1.5 keV). Using optimum beam conditions, simulations predict a signal-to-noise ratio of ∼ 0.1, meaning a statistically significant measurement of the Breit-Wheeler process could be made with ∼ 100 shots. However, during the experiment the electron beam obtained was sub-optimal, reducing the signal-to-noise ratio to ∼ 2 × 10 5 , making it unlikely that a measurement was possible. No signatures of elastic photon-photon scattering were detected in the experiment, enabling a bound of 4.9 × 10^12 µb to be placed on the photon-photon scattering cross-section at a centre of mass energy ω_CM ≈ 0.66 me . While still far above the predicted QED cross-section, this is the most stringent bound placed to date, improving upon previous work by three orders of magnitude.

description: Mesoscopic systems provide us a unique experimental stage to address non-equilibrium quantum statistical physics. By using a simple tunneling model, we describe the electron exchange process via a quantum coherent conductor between two reservoirs, which yields the fluctuation theorem (FT) in mesoscopic transport. We experimentally show that such a treatment is semi-quantitatively validated in the current and noise measurement in an Aharonov-Bohm ring. The experimental proof of the microreversibility assumed in the derivation of FT is presented.

Pharmacological and functional regulation of two-pore domain potassium channels
Creators: name: Evans, Louisa-Jane Ping Ping
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Two pore domain potassium (K2P) channels underlie the background potassium leak currents of excitable cells. In this study, the whole cell patch clamp technique was used with transiently transfected human embryonic kidney cells, and cerebellar granule neurones (CGNs) in primary culture, to compare the pharmacological properties of acid sensitive K2P channels. Zn2+, La3+, Cu2+, ruthenium red and Ru-360 blocked TASK-1 and TASK-3 channel currents. Substitution of external sodium ions with N-methyl-D-glucamine and choline also caused a significant reduction in TASK-1 and TASK-3 currents, demonstrating that maximal conductance through these potassium channels requires the presence of external sodium ions. Whilst Cu2+ blocked TASK-1 and TASK-3 channel currents, TASK-2 currents were not affected by the ion. Mannitol, a scavenger of hydroxyl radicals, did not alter Cu2+ block of TASK-3 currents showing hydroxyl radical production was not the underlying mechanism. Application of thiol oxidant, DTNB (5’,5’-dithio-bis(2 nitrobenzoic acid)), showed a potent block, mimicking that of Cu2+ in size and reversibility. DTNB and Cu2+ block were reversed by disulphide-reducing DTT (dithiothreitol), suggesting thiol rich cysteine residues played a fundamental role in
An improved, "phase-relaxed" F-statistic for gravitational-wave data analysis
Creators: name: Cutler, Curt
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Rapidly rotating, slightly non-axisymmetric neutron stars emit nearly periodic gravitational waves (GWs), quite possibly at levels detectable by ground-based GW interferometers. We refer to these sources as "GW pulsars". For any given sky position and frequency evolution, the F-statistic is the optimal (frequentist) statistic for the detection of GW pulsars. However, in "all-sky" searches for previously unknown GW pulsars, it would be computationally intractable to calculate the (fully coherent) F-statistic at every point of a (suitably fine) grid covering the parameter space: the number of gridpoints is many orders of magnitude too large for that. Here we introduce a "phase-relaxed" F-statistic, which we denote F_pr, for incoherently combining the results of fully coherent searches over short time intervals. We estimate (very roughly) that for realistic searches, our F_pr is ~10-15% more sensitive than the "semi-coherent" F-statistic that is currently used. Moreover, as a byproduct of computing F_pr, one obtains a rough determination of the time-evolving phase offset between one's template and the true signal imbedded in the detector noise. Almost all the ingredients that go into calculating F_pr are already implemented in LAL, so we expect that relatively little additional effort would be required to develop a search code that uses F_pr.

Experimental, analytical and computational studies in resin transfer moulding
Creators: name: McCallum, Stuart Craig
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2021

description: Simulation of Resin Transfer Moulding (RTM) is a key design tool for improving product quality and reducing high process development costs. Darcy’s law is currently used in RTM simulation packages to model the mould filling stage on a macro-scale (length scale of a part). However, some of the assumptions of Darcy’s law are not satisfied during the manufacturing process, e.g. 2-D Newtonian fluid flow without surface tension and no velocity gradients at walls or across permeability variations. This thesis presents a new multi-scale modelling approach that overcomes the limitations of Darcy’s law by performing micro-scale simulations, which resolve the fluid flow on the length scale of an idealised fibre bundle. The interaction of the fluid on the fibre bundle appears as a source term (micro-model) in the momentum equations. These equations are then solved on a macro-scale using the Volume of Fluid method to simulate the mould filling stage of RTM. The micro- and macro-scale simulations are implemented within the computational fluid dynamics software CFX4 using Fortran subroutines. Laboratory scale experiments are used to determine the in-plane permeability constants for a unidirectional fabric using the parallel and radial-flow permeability methods. The techniques used for interpreting the radial-flow measurements are then compared and evaluated. The resulting constants are used in the development of a micro-scale model and the validation of the multi-scale simulations. The mould filling behaviour of thick composite structures (30mm) is investigated on a semi-industrial scale in three dimensions, using a novel sensing technology called SMARTWeave®. The measurement results highlight the influence of race-tracking on mould fill-time and flow-front shape across permeability variations. The implementation of the multi-scale model is validated against a series of new analytical solutions for a variety of flow problems. The results obtained from the multiscale model are shown to be more accurate than Darcy’s law at predicting the velocity profile during mould filling, mould filling with race-tracking and also in cases when there is significant permeability variation (local and global) between fabric layers. A preliminary investigation also shows the suitability of this approach to model surface tension effects, which is of importance for low pressure injections.
The slope of the Baryonic Tully-Fisher relation

description: We present the results of a baryonic Tully-Fisher relation (BTFR) study for a local sample of relatively isolated disk galaxies. We derive a BTFR with a slope near 3 measured over about 4 dex in baryon mass for our combined \textrm{H\,\scriptsize{I}} and bright spiral disk samples. This BTFR is significantly flatter and has less scatter than the TFR (stellar mass only) with its slope near 4 reported for other samples and studies. A BTFR slope near 3 is in better agreement with the expected slope from simple $Λ$CDM cosmological simulations that include both stellar and gas baryons. The scatter in the TFR/BTFR appears to depend on $W_{20}$: galaxies that rotate slower have more scatter. The atomic gas--to--stars ratio shows a break near $W_{20} = 250$ \kms\, probably associated with a change in star formation efficiency. In contrast the absence of such a break in the BTFR suggests that this relation was probably set at the main epoch of baryon dissipation rather than as a product of later galactic evolution.

The government is seeking a mandate : the Liberal Party of Canada’s use of democratic rhetoric in the interwar years, 1919–1940
Creators: name: Coombs, Adam
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: This dissertation seeks to explain how and why the political concepts Canadians value differ substantially from the foundational ideals of the British North America Act 1867. It seeks to answer this question by examining democratic discourses propagated by national political parties during the key years of 1919–1940. In particular, it focuses on the role of the Liberal Party of Canada and its leader William Lyon Mackenzie King in advancing a certain set of democratic discourses as a means of responding to specific challenges the party faced during these years. Ultimately, it argues the Liberals used discourses based on the concept of popular sovereignty to justify centralizing political power in the person of the Prime Minister and creating a centralized political party designed to support the legislative agenda of their leader. While the Liberals were not the only party to employ democratic discourses as a means of advancing their political fortunes, their particular articulation of how Canada should function was uniquely successful in appealing to the popular imagination. Other parties, from the Progressive Party of the early 1920s, who advocated group governance, proportional representation and multi–member constituencies, to the Conservatives, who steadfastly defended British constitutional norms, all were either unable or unwilling to create an effective counter–narrative and so remained in the minority within the House of Commons, leading to a prolonged period of Liberal rule.

description: On March 31, 2003, the Center on Japanese Economy and Business organized a symposium featuring Professor Kazuo Ueda, Member, Monetary Policy Board, Bank of Japan. Professor Ueda's presentation, based on his published paper below, discusses the relationship between Japan's stalled economy, the deflation of general prices, and the deflation of asset prices. He argues that the collapse in asset prices, not general prices, has had deleterious effects on Japan's financial system and, in turn, on the economy. He further suggests policy responses to deal with persistent deflation and Japan's ongoing financial and structural problems.

description: We present a new QSO selection algorithm using a Support Vector Machine (SVM), a supervised classification method, on a set of extracted times series features including period, amplitude, color, and autocorrelation value. We train a model that separates QSOs from variable stars, non-variable stars and microlensing events using 58 known QSOs, 1,629 variable stars and 4,288 non-variables using the MAssive Compact Halo Object (MACHO) database as a training set. To estimate the efficiency and the accuracy of the model, we perform a cross-validation test using the training set. The test shows that the model correctly identifies ~80% of known QSOs with a 25% false positive rate. The majority of the false positives are Be stars. We applied the trained model to the MACHO Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) dataset, which consists of 40 million lightcurves, and found 1,620 QSO candidates. During the selection none of the 33,242 known MACHO variables were misclassified as QSO candidates. In order to estimate the true false positive rate, we crossmatched the candidates with astronomical catalogs including the Spitzer Surveying the Agents of a Galaxy's Evolution (SAGE) LMC catalog and a few X-ray catalogs. The results further suggest that the majority of the candidates, more than 70%, are QSOs.

Furthermore, evidence for the 3D, 5S, 4D, 6S, 5D, 7S, 6D, and 8S charmonium vector resonances is presented, on the basis of data recently published by the BaBar Collaboration. Central masses and resonance widths are estimated. Confirmation of these resonances would be a huge step in lifting the precision level of hadron spectroscopy towards that of atomic spectroscopy, with far-reaching consequences for theory.

description: Arrays of atoms trapped in optical lattices are appealing as storage media for photons, since motional dephasing of the atoms is eliminated. The regular lattice is also associated with band structure in the dispersion experienced by incident photons. Here we study the influence of this band structure on the efficiency of quantum memories based on electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and on Raman absorption. We observe a number of interesting effects, such as both reduced and superluminal group velocities, enhanced atom-photon coupling and anomalous transmission. These effects are ultimately deleterious to the memory efficiency, but they are easily avoided by tuning the optical fields away from the band edges.

description: In this work, the essence of several classes of methods for planning the movement of wheeled robots and manipulators is described. Various approaches to the construction of an optimal trajectory and the choice of control have been studied. A comparative analysis of various algorithms is made using the example of a differential drive system. The problem of constructing the optimal trajectory in the presence of an obstacle in the working space in the conditions of kinematic setting is solved.
