description: Distribution and inheritance of dorsal skin color markings among two populations of southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) suggest that two genes influence dorsal skin color. The grey-morph and partial-grey-morph phenotypes (previously known as partial albino and grey-blaze, respectively) appear to be controlled by an X-linked gene, whereas the white blaze appears controlled by an autosomal gene (recessive phenotype). Calving intervals, calf size, and length of sighting history data suggest that partial-grey-morph, white-blaze, and black cows experience similar levels of reproductive success. Grey-morph cows (XgXg) are rare or absent in the two populations, but this was not unexpected given observed population frequencies of grey-morph males (XgY) and partial-grey-morph females (XGXg). The proportion of partial-grey-morph calves produced by black cows (XGXG) suggests that the reproductive success of grey-morph males was equal to that of black males, however, larger sample sizes are required to determine whether grey-morph males tend to have shorter sighting histories. The reproductive success of white-blaze males appeared similar to that of black males among whales off Argentina. There were significantly fewer white-blaze calves than expected off South Africa, which could be due to white-blaze males experiencing reduced reproductive success or to sighting blases that result in white-marked calves being misidentified as black calves. The relative frequencies of both types of dorsal color markings varied between the South African and Argentinian right whale populations, suggesting limited nuclear gene flow between these populations; analyses using other nuclear markers are under way to confirm the extent of gene flow.

description: Bardasis-Schrieffer modes in superconductors are fluctuations in subdominant pairing channels, e.g., d-wave fluctuations in an s-wave superconductor. This Rapid Communication shows that these modes also generically occur in excitonic insulators. In s-wave excitonic insulators, a p-wave Bardasis-Schrieffer mode exists below the gap energy, is optically active and hybridizes strongly with photons to form Bardasis-Schrieffer polaritons, which are observable in both far-field and near-field optical experiments.

The enigmatic outburst of V445 Puppis - a possible Helium nova?

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: JHK spectroscopic and photometric observations are reported for the enigmatic, nova-like, variable V445 Puppis which erupted at the end of 2000. The near-IR spectra are hydrogen-deficient and unusually rich in CI lines. The important CI lines are found to be positioned at 1.133, 1.166, 1.175, 1.189, 1.26 and 1.689 microns. Model calculations for the CI lines are done to make the identification of the lines secure. Photometric data, taken on January 2.90 UT, 2001 shortly after the outburst, show the formation of an optically thin dust shell around V445 Puppis. The temperature and upper limit for the mass of the dust shell are estimated to be 1800K and M(dust) ~ 1oe-9 M(sun) respectively . A subsequent episode of massive dust formation - indicated by the observed, deep visual dimming - is also seen in JHK images of early November 2001. V445 Puppis has shown two unusual properties for a nova i) the hydrogen-deficiency and He/C enrichment of the object as seen from optical and IR data and ii) synchrotron radio emission which was detected nearly a year after it's outburst by other workers. The strange nature of the object is discussed and it is shown that it is difficult to place it in the known categories of eruptive variables viz. novae (classical, recurrent or symbiotic); born-again AGB stars; the new class of eruptive variables like V838 Mon; and RCB/HdC stars. Tentative evidence for an accretion disk and binarity of the V445 Puppis system is presented. It is debated whether V445 Puppis is a rare Helium nova or an unique object.

description: The adding up condition of budget share equations is known to imply restrictions for the autoregressive structure of errors. The implications of these restrictions when estimation is in terms of additive normal errors or additive logistic normal errors is clarified, and a byproduct is a specification of the autocorrelation matrix with a structure consistent with the model, but with number of parameters equal to the number of goods. This is more appealing than the scalar diagonal matrix form, but more parsimonious than having number of parameters proportional to the square of the number of goods.
An investigation into fostering vibrant social spaces through games and activities

description: This report will look into ways of making enjoyable social spaces in the new Student Union Building (SUB). Currently at UBC there is not enough social spaces where people can relax and have fun or study in a relaxing multi-tasking environment. There will be space allocated in the new SUB for small lounges for students to relax and socialize in. These spaces will contain couches, tables, and games. This report uses the new SUB layout, survey results, and research to suggest which games should be included in the new SUB. The results show that pool tables are popular and that they fit the requirements of a social space. Foosball tables and Ping-Pong tables also fit the requirements of a social space but the focus of the report is on pool tables as they are the number one choice. They can be considered if space is available and they are in demand. It is suggested that the AMS rents pool tables or buy a cheap synthetic table, to see how students respond to the tables. If the response is positive a slate pool table should be purchased, as they are more durable than a synthetic table. Pool tables create the relaxed social atmosphere that the space wishes to provide. The AMS can also consider buying foosball tables or Ping-Pong tables as alternatives to pool. Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community.

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Background Despite the high burden of surgical conditions, the provision of surgical services has been a low global health priority. We examined factors that have shaped priority for global surgical care. Methods We undertook semi-structured interviews by telephone with members of global surgical networks and ministries of health to explore the challenges and opportunities surgeons, anaesthesiologists, and other proponents face in increasing global priority for surgery. We did a literature review and collected information from reports from organisations involved in surgery. We used a policy framework consisting of four categories—actor power, ideas, political contexts, and characteristics of the issue itself—to analyse factors that have shaped global political priority for surgery. We did a thematic analysis on the collected information. Findings Several factors hinder the acquisition of attention and resources for global surgery. With respect to actor power, the global surgery community is fragmented, does not have unifying leadership, and is missing guiding institutions. Regarding ideas, community members disagree on how to address and publicly position the problem. With respect to political contexts, the community has made insufficient efforts to capitalise on political opportunities such as the Millennium Development Goals. Regarding issue characteristics, data on the burden of surgical diseases are limited and public misperceptions surrounding the cost and complexity of surgery are widespread. However, the community has several strengths that portend well for the acquisition of political support. These include the existence of networks deeply committed to the cause, the potential to link with global health priorities, and emerging research on the cost-effectiveness of some procedures. Interpretation To improve global priority for surgery, proponents will need to create an effective governance structure that facilitates achievement of collective goals, generate consensus on solutions, and find an effective public positioning of the issue that attracts political support.

Pointing at smaller food amounts in an analogue of Boysen and Berntson's (1995) procedure
Creators: name: Silberberg, Alan

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Boysen and Berntson (1995) showed that apes could not learn to point to a small amount of candy in order to get a larger amount when pointing to the larger amount was reinforced by receipt of the alternate, smaller amount. They explained this result as an unlearned predisposition to reach for higher value foods that overrides the effects of reinforcement. This report tests their thesis. In the first condition, 3 monkeys chose between one raisin held in one hand by the experimenter and four raisins held in the other hand. If a monkey pointed at four raisins, it received one. If it pointed at one, it received four. Over ten 20‐trial sessions, no monkey learned to point at the one‐raisin alternative, a result similar to that of Boysen and Berntson. In the second condition, pointing at one raisin still produced four; however, pointing at four raisins now produced no reinforcement. In five 20‐trial sessions, all monkeys learned to point at one raisin in order to get four. This finding demonstrates that at least in monkeys there is no predisposition to reach for higher value foods that cannot be readily overridden by reinforcement contingencies, and casts doubt on Boysen and Berntson's claim to have demonstrated such a process in apes.

description: For a directed polymer in a random medium lying on an infinite cylinder, that is in 1+1 dimensions with finite width and periodic boundary conditions on the transverse direction, the winding number is simply the algebraic number of turns the polymer does around the cylinder. This paper presents exact expressions of the fluctuations of this winding number due to, first, the thermal noise of the system and, second, the different realizations of the disorder in the medium.

description: A class of dynamic, nonlinear, statistical models is introduced for the analysis of univariate time series. A distinguishing feature of the models is their reliance on only one primary source of randomness: a sequence of independent and identically distributed normal disturbances. It is established that the models are conditionally Gaussian. This fact is used to define a conditional maximum likelihood method of estimation and prediction. A particular member of the class is shown to provide the statistical foundations for the multiplicative Holt-Winters method of forecasting. This knowledge is exploited to provide methods for computing prediction intervals to accompany the more usual point predictions obtained from the Holt-Winters method. The methods of estimation and prediction are evaluated by simulation. They are also illustrated with an application to Canadian retail sales.

description: It is argued in this paper that conventional inventory control theory in the form that it is implemented and widely used today, is largely the product of an era when most businesses operated with primitive mechanical calculators rather than computers. The methods devised at the time reflect the fact that calculations had to be undertaken by hand and therefore could be neither complicated nor burdensome. There was, as a consequence, an extensive reliance on analytical methods. This enabled the development and use of tables and nomographs to simplify and streamline the associated calculations. In recent years we have witnessed changes of revolutionary proportions with the development and widespread penetration of cheap, powerful computational technologies into most aspects of business activity. The proposition put forward and elaborated in this paper is that it is timely to review current practices in inventory control, and determine whether the new technologies provide opportunities for approaches possessing a greater reliance on numerical methods in place of those with an analytical orientation. As a consequence new possibilities for periodic review order-up-to and reorder level inventory systems are explored together with adaptations which allow for growth and seasonal effects in demand. A common feature of the proposed approaches is that they largely bypass the statistical forecasting methods commonly used in conjunction with computerised inventory control systems. Furthermore, they provide a mechanism for coping with problems of uncertainty without recourse to formal probability theory. It is argued that, as a consequence, they are better suited for use in most business settings where those delegated to control inventories usually lack the formal mathematical skills and knowledge to fully understand and to make effective use of the classical methods.
Olfaction in olfactory bulbectomized rats

Year: 2023

description: Experimental rats had their right olfactory bulb removed on postnatal day 2 (P2) and their left olfactory bulb removed on P90. Control rats had one or both olfactory bulbs removed on P90. Before and after their adult-stage surgery, rats were trained using olfactometry and operant conditioning to detect and discriminate odors. Anterograde transport of horseradish peroxidase applied to the olfactory epithelium revealed numerous axons of olfactory sensory neurons in the right hemisphere of 27 experimental rats. These axons terminated in glomerular-like clusters within the frontal neocortex (n = 5) or anterior olfactory nucleus with some axons extending into the subventricular epithelium (n = 22). Seventeen of the experimental rats were able to detect a variety of odors and to discriminate between odors. Performance accuracy was related to the location and density of these anomalous inputs; experimental rats with inputs confined to frontal neocortex and those lacking any inputs to the forebrain were anosmic, as were adult-operated bilaterally bulbectomized rats. Our results provide strong support for the contention that, in the absence of the olfactory bulbs, olfactory connections to novel forebrain sites can support both odor detection and odor discrimination.

description: Until recently, a difficulty with applying the Durbin-Watson (DW) test to the dynamic linear regression model has been the lack of appropriate critical values. Inder (1986) used a modified small-disturbance distribution (SDD) to find approximate criticl values. King and Wu (1991) showed that the exact SDD of the DW statistic is equivalent to the distribution of the DW statistic from the regression with the lagged dependent variables replaced by their means. Unfortunately, these means are unknown although they could be estimated by the actual variable values. This provides a justification for using the exact critical values of the DW statistic from the regression with the lagged. dependent variables treated as non-stochastic regressors. Extensive Monte Carlo experiments are reported in this paper. They show that this approach leads to reasonably accurate critical values, particularly when two lags of the dependent variable are present. Robustness to non-normality is also investigated.

While many tests have been proposed for these testing problems, little is available on the power of these tests. In this paper, we examine the power of two tests in the literature, the locally most mean powerful invariant test and the Kuhn-Tucker test, in the case of testing for quarter-dependent simple AR(4) errors in linear regressions.

Olfactory discrimination of short chain fatty acids in rats with large bilateral lesions of the olfactory bulbs
Creators: name: Bisulco, Stephanie

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Rats trained preoperatively to discriminate between acetic acid and caproic acid and between acetic acid and propionic acid were tested for their memory of these tasks and ability to discriminate between these odorants and between the enantiomers of carvone after receiving large bilateral bulbar lesions that included most of the fatty acid responsive areas identified in prior physiological studies. Concentrations of acid odorants were varied to insure that discrimination was based on the qualitative difference between acids. Experimental rats performed somewhat poorer than controls on the memory test but had no significant deficits in performing the acid discrimination tasks or discriminating between the enantiomers of carvone. These results demonstrate that removal of most bulbar sites identified as responsive to fatty acids and the consequent disruption of patterned input to the bulb is largely without effect on discriminating odor qualities of structurally similar acids.

description: Upon substituting Ca for Eu in the local-moment ferromagnet EuB$_6$, the Curie temperature $T_C$ decreases substantially with increasing dilution of the magnetic sublattice and is completely suppressed for $x$ $\leq$ 0.3. The Ca substitution leads to significant changes of the electronic properties across the Eu$_x$Ca$_{1-x}$B$_6$ series. Electron microscopy data for $x$ $\approx$ 0.27 indicate a phase separation into Eu- and Ca-rich clusters of 5 to 10 nm diameter, leading to percolation-type phenomena in the electrical transport properties. The related critical concentration $x_p$ is approximately 0.3. For $x$ $\approx$ 0.27, we observe colossal negative magnetoresistance effects at low temperatures, similar in magnitude as those reported for manganese oxides.

description: Objectives of the study: This paper aims to analyse how community participation is viewed and implemented in ecotourism projects with evidence from ecotourism literature. The paper elaborates on the evolution and trends of community participation in ecotourism projects. Methodology: With the use of content analysis method, the study analyses literature in the form of journal articles. For the analysis, research articles published from 1990-2019 were collected from journal databases and search engines, including Scopus, Science Direct, Taylor and Francis, and Google Scholar. Originality/ Relevance: The present study intends to address the research gap in ecotourism literature that reviews and descriptively analyze the disseminated information on community participation Findings: The main findings suggest that only some ecotourism projects are successfully running with the full participation of local communities. The extent and type of community participation vary in each ecotourism project depending on social, cultural, and political factors. It also points out the presence of contradicting views regarding its effectiveness and applicability. Theoretical/ Methodological Contributions: Analysis of ecotourism literature on one of the key aspects of ecotourism is necessary to investigate and understand the patterns and themes of community participation and contributes on the directions for future research.
What the rat's nose tells the rat's mouth : long delay aversion conditioning with aqueous odors and potentiation of taste by odors
Creators: name: Slotnick, Burton

Publisher: name: American University

description: n Experiment 1, olfactory bulbectomized and control rats were trained using operant conditioning to determine the taste threshold of aqueous amyl acetate. Concentrations below gustatory threshold were used in Experiments 2–5 to compare the effectiveness of odors with various concentrations of saccharin as cues for illness. The results showed the following: (1) The effectiveness of odor and taste was directly related to concentration; (2) the strength of an aversion to a concentration of taste could be matched by an appropriate concentration of an odor; (3) odor was as effective as taste with CS-US delays of 4 h; and (4) an effective odor potentiated an aversion to an otherwise ineffective taste. The results challenge the privileged role accorded tastes in food aversion learning and the manner in which tastes are held to interact with odors according to the sensory-and-gate channeling analysis of potentiation (Rusiniak, Hankins, Garcia, & Brett, 1979).

$\bbbc P^2$ and $\bbbc P^{1}$ Sigma Models in Supergravity: Bianchi type IX Instantons and Cosmologies

description: We find instanton/cosmological solutions with biaxial Bianchi-IX symmetry, involving non-trivial spatial dependence of the $\bbbc P^{1}$- and $\bbbc P^{2}$-sigma-models coupled to gravity. Such manifolds arise in N=1, $d=4$ supergravity with supermatter actions and hence the solutions can be embedded in supergravity. There is a natural way in which the standard coordinates of these manifolds can be mapped into the four-dimensional physical space. Due to its special symmetry, we start with $\bbbc P^{2}$ with its corresponding scalar Ansatz; this further requires the spacetime to be $SU(2) \times U(1)$-invariant. The problem then reduces to a set of ordinary differential equations whose analytical properties and solutions are discussed. Among the solutions there is a surprising, special-family of exact solutions which owe their existence to the non-trivial topology of $\bbbc P^{2}$ and are in 1-1 correspondence with matter-free Bianchi-IX metrics. These solutions can also be found by coupling $\bbbc P^{1}$ to gravity. The regularity of these Euclidean solutions is discussed -- the only possibility is bolt-type regularity. The Lorentzian solutions with similar scalar Ansatz are all obtainable from the Euclidean solutions by Wick rotation.

description: Faraday rotation of radio source polarization provides a measure of the integrated magnetic field along the observational lines of sight. We compare a new, large sample of Faraday rotation measures (RMs) of polarized extragalactic sources with galaxy counts in Hercules and Perseus-Pisces, two nearby superclusters. We find that the average of RMs in these two supercluster areas are larger than in control areas in the same galactic latitude range. This is the first RM detection of magnetic fields that pervade a supercluster volume, in which case the fields are at least partially coherent over several megaparsecs. Even the most conservative interpretation of our observations, according to which Milky Way RM variations mimic the background supercluster galaxy overdensities, puts constraints on the IGM magneto-ionic ``strength'' in these two superclusters. We obtain an approximate typical upper limit on the field strength of about 0.3 microGauss l/(500 kpc), when we combine our RM data with fiducial estimates of electron density from the environments of giant radio galaxies, and of the warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM).

Saving, spending, and self-control : cognition versus consumer culture
Creators: name: Starr, Martha A.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Recent economic literature puts forth “behavioral” perspectives on self-control as a means of under- standing oddities of consumer behavior: spending too much, saving too little, borrowing too much on costly credit cards. This article argues that the behavioral emphasis on cognition overlooks the extent to which issues of self-control are framed, elaborated, and sustained as problematics of contemporary con- sumer culture. As such, they are rooted as much in the social, cultural, and economic dynamics of cap- italism as they are in the human mind.
