description: An expedition to the subarctic mountain of Campsite Peak, Yukon Territory, within the Kluane National Park and Reserve (KNPR), was conducted during the summer of 2019 to investigate two undocumented periglacial forms identified in satellite imagery. The overall goal of this MSc research is to present and measure these two features spatially, morphologically, and sedimentologically, placing them within the periglacial literature and hypothesizing plausible formative processes. The first study documents a feature similar to stone-banked solifluction terraces, termed blockslope terraces (BSTs) within this research, and are found in large numbers on low- to mid-slopes of Campsite Peak above the treeline, mantling a blocky open matrix of ignimbrite cobble-to-boulder material. BSTs differ from expected solifluction characteristics by showing apparent periodicity, large sample sizes, oblique orientations relative to their slope, and material too coarse to support the formation of ice needed for active solifluction. In-field morphological measurements combined with spatial and remote sediment sieving using photography and structure from motion modelling provided the exploratory measurements needed to place BSTs within the literature. It is the hypothesis of this research that BSTs are either a relict gelifluction feature from deglaciation, or nivation features of uncommon size and occurrence. The second study documents a feature, termed banded lichen formations (BLFs) within this research, found on the upper slopes of Campsite Peak. BLFs exhibit an alternating dark-and-light pattern caused by the presence and absence of lichens on the lighter felsic tuff material of Campsite Peak. It is hypothesized that BLFs are attributed to periglacial processes such as solifluction and frost heave, the form and relief of which are influenced by slope gradient and availability of fine-grained sediment in the system, leading to diverse spatial patterns, even across the same slopes. This research introduces two novel forms of periglacial landforms, both occurring on ignimbrite material, and both occurring on other mountains in KNPR of the same geologic unit. Further, the results of these studies underline the knowledge gaps in the solifluction and nivation literature surrounding landforms occurring on coarse, blocky material.

description: Zoonotic hepatitis E virus (HEV) is endemic in Europe. Genotype 3 (HEV-3) is predominant but information on subtype distribution, trends and clinical implications in Germany is scarce. We analysed 936 HEV RNA positive samples of human origin and corresponding national surveillance data from 2010 to 2019. Samples were referred to the National Consultant Laboratory and sequenced in at least one of four genomic regions. Sequences were analysed using bioinformatics methods and compared to the latest HEV reference set. 1,656 sequences were obtained from 300 female, 611 male and 25 of unknown sex aged 3-92 years (median 55 years). HEV-3c was predominant (67.3%) followed by HEV-3f, HEV-3e and HEV-3i(-like) with 14.3%, 9.7% and 4.0% (other subtypes <= 1.1%). The proportion of HEV-3 group 2 (3abchijklm) strains increased over time. Jaundice, upper abdominal pain, fever, hospitalization, and death due to HEV were significantly more often reported for patients infected with HEV-3 group 1 (3efg) compared to group 2. Larger spatio-temporal clusters of identical sequences were not observed. HEV-3 group 1 infections are more severe as compared to the predominant group 2. Detection of group 2 strains increased over the last years, possibly due to more frequent diagnosis of asymptomatic and mild courses. The diversity of strains and the space-time distribution is compatible with a foodborne zoonosis with supra-regional distribution of the infection vehicle (pork products).

description: 3D bioprinting is a tissue engineering technology, and it has successfully developed simple tissues. However, the current bioprinting methods that rely on layer-based cartesian mechanisms face significant challenges in creating complex and vascularized tissues necessary for developing fully functional tissues. This limitation highlights the need for innovative approaches that enhance bioprinting's flexibility and precision. This thesis presents the development and application of a multi-axis robotic bioprinting platform and its process chain that overcomes traditional constraints and enables the fabrication of complex 3D scaffolds from all directions within the expanded workspace. This research involves embedded bioprinting, an extrusion-based method that can bioprint soft and low-viscosity bioinks while maintaining desired printing fidelity using a viscoplastic suspension bath. The multi-axis robotic bioprinting platform, equipped with a 6-degree-of-freedom robotic arm and a pneumatic extrusion system, integrates computer-aided design (CAD) extraction, computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) slicing, robot simulation, script adjustment, and robot control. This process chain facilitates the seamless transition from digital models to physical bioprinted constructs. Two case studies experimentally validate the platform's superiority over traditional bioprinting techniques. The first focuses on freeform surface bioprinting, highlighting the system's adaptability in reproducing intricate tissue contours. The second explores the fabrication of a hollow tubular structure essential for engineering complex vascular networks. In summary, this thesis contributes to developing the technology and processes necessary to standardize in situ/in vivo bioprinting for fabricating artificial tissues and organs directly on damaged sites.

description: Using methods from algebraic graph theory and convex optimization, we study the relationship between local structural features of a network and spectral properties of its Laplacian matrix. In particular, we derive expressions for the so-called spectral moments of the Laplacian matrix of a network in terms of a collection of local structural measurements. Furthermore, we propose a series of semidefinite programs to compute bounds on the spectral radius and the spectral gap of the Laplacian matrix from a truncated sequence of Laplacian spectral moments. Our analysis shows that the Laplacian spectral moments and spectral radius are strongly constrained by local structural features of the network. On the other hand, we illustrate how local structural features are usually not enough to estimate the Laplacian spectral gap.

description: The plasma parameters such as electron distribution function and electron density of three atmospheric-pressure transient discharges namely filamentary and homogeneous dielectric barrier discharges in air, and the spark discharge of argon plasma coagulation (APC) system are determined. A combination of numerical simulation as well as diagnostic methods including current measurement and optical emission spectroscopy (OES) based on nitrogen emissions is used. The applied methods supplement each other and resolve problems, which arise when these methods are used individually. Nitrogen is used as sensor gas and is admixed in low amount to argon for characterizing the APC discharge. Both direct and stepwise electron impact excitation of nitrogen emissions are included in the plasma-chemical model applied for characterization of these transient discharges using OES where ambiguity arises in the determination of plasma parameters at specific discharge conditions. It is shown that the measured current solves this problem by providing additional information useful for the determination of discharge-specific plasma parameters.

description: This dissertation addresses the ethics of non-consensual neurointerventions for criminal offenders by considering ‘punishment equivalence arguments.’ They suggest if proven safe and effective, neurointerventions could serve as ethically viable alternatives to traditional punitive measures like imprisonment. I examine the four premises of these arguments: (1) the state’s legitimate authority to punish, (2) the assumed safety and efficacy of neurointerventions, (3) the similar effects of direct and indirect interventions into the brain, and (4) that based on specific ethical paradigms, neurointerventions are equivalent to standard punitive measures. Practically, I highlight challenges posed by the current crisis in our penal systems and the nascent state of our understanding of neuroscience. Theoretically, I argue unique properties of neurointerventions pose distinct threats to mental freedom. The project supports a negative claim: punishment equivalence arguments fail to offer meaningful guidance in a broad range of foreseeable cases or mitigate deep-seated ethical reservations. However, it also suggests a positive claim: there are compelling moral and prudential reasons for extreme caution before rushing to implement a comprehensive project for neurointerventions in criminal justice practices. There is a pressing need for further ethical theorizing, including the possibility of recognizing rights over the brain and mind.

description: We solve the ab initio no-core shell model (NCSM) in the complete Nmax = 8 basis for A = 7 and A = 8 nuclei with two-nucleon and three-nucleon interactions derived within chiral effective field theory (EFT). We find that including the chiral EFT three-nucleon interaction in the Hamiltonian improves overall good agreement with experimental binding energies, excitation spectra, transitions and electromagnetic moments. We predict states that exhibit sensitivity to including the chiral EFT three-nucleon interaction but are not yet known experimentally.

description: Maps have historically served as powerful tools for understanding spatial relationships and aided in communication, navigation, and informed decision-making. However, conventional mapping processes often overlook the diverse needs of marginalized groups, resulting in a digital divide and less inclusive maps that perpetuate inequalities in the real world. By redefining mapping processes to ensure that maps reflect the spatial behavioral distinctions and needs of all individuals, we can empower less-represented groups to make informed spatial decisions. Focusing on needs of women and those with reduced mobility, maps of urban public spaces play a pivotal role in conveying essential information about spatial features relevant to these groups' navigation and use of space. "UCalgary Inclusive Map" is designed based on an innovative Feminist GIS framework that bridges this socio-spatial gap by combining multidisciplinary ideas from feminism, urban design, accessibility research, and GIS functionalities. This map includes features and attributes representing micro-amenities within the University of Calgary's campus open spaces that influence campus accessibility, safety, diversity, and spatial awareness for everyone.

description: We find the realization of large converse magnetoelectric (ME) effects at room temperature in a multiferroic hexaferrite Ba$_{0.52}$Sr$_{2.48}$Co$_{2}$Fe$_{24}$O$_{41}$ single crystal, in which rapid change of electric polarization in low magnetic fields (about 5 mT) is coined to a large ME susceptibility of 3200 ps/m. The modulation of magnetization then reaches up to 0.62 $μ$$_{B}$/f.u. in an electric field of 1.14 MV/m. We find further that four ME states induced by different ME poling exhibit unique, nonvolatile magnetization versus electric field curves, which can be approximately described by an effective free energy with a distinct set of ME coefficients.

description: Abstract The purpose of this study is to find ways to sustain, validate and legitimize Tsuut’ina ninisha (way of life), and restore land-based practices that are critical for identity and survival within Tsuut’ina Nation schools. The research question guiding this study is: What is required to sustain, validate, and legitimize Tsuut’ina ninisha uwa gunaha and restore land-based practices to revive a diminishing way of life crucial for identity and survival, within Tsuut’ina Nation schools, as perceived and advocated by Tsuut’ina Elders? Indigenous Métissage is used as a research praxis in this study to braid and weave my personal story, Tsuut’ina Elder’s stories and stories of Western attempts of boundary crossing and funds of knowledge as a means to understand the ethical space and ethical relationality needed to create land-based curriculum for Tsuut’ina students that is respectful, reciprocal, relevant, relational, and responsible to Tsuut’ina peoples. Becoming familiar with theories of boundary crossing and funds of knowledge, teachers could have a better understanding of the importance of implementing Tsuut’ina ninisha into their daily teaching practices. Results from the study indicate that fostering community, facilitating experiential learning, nurturing care, and providing spiritual guidance are imperative for sustaining, validating, and legitimizing Tsuut’ina ninisha and revitalizing land-based practices crucial for Tsuut’ina children and youth within Tsuut’ina schools. Furthermore, the study illuminates how the concept of boundary crossing takes on profound significance when imbued with the teachings and wisdom of Tsuut’ina Elders. This enriched understanding of boundary crossing, infused with spiritual essence, encompasses the essential elements required for harmonious coexistence of Alberta Programs of Study and Tsuut’ina teachings within Tsuut’ina schools. These findings carry significant implications for systemic reforms in education, particularly for Indigenous students in reserve schools.

Phenotypic and functional characterization of T cells and Foxp3⁺ T regulatory cells in inflammatory bowel disease : steps towards T regulatory cell therapy in mucosal disease
Creators: name: Himmel, Megan Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Because of their potent suppressive capacity and critical role in the normal function of the human immune system, T regulatory cells (Tregs) have long been considered candidates for the therapeutic treatment of autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases. However, the clinical implementation of these cells has proven challenging in practice, in part due to a lack of knowledge surrounding this T cell subset. Specifically, an evaluation of the unique functions of individual Treg cell lineages, along with a comprehensive investigation of the non-suppressive capacities of these cells, including chemokine production, is necessary. Furthermore, in the application of Treg cellular therapy in mucosal diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, the identification of putative antigens that can be targeted by Tregs is warranted. To these aims, I evaluated the phenotypic and functional characteristics of Helios⁺ and Helios⁻ Treg subsets, with the knowledge that expression of Helios, an Ikaros family transcription factor, may differentiate natural, thymic derived Tregs from their in vivo peripherally induced counterparts. I found that Helios positive and negative Treg subsets expressed similar Treg markers and displayed a similar capacity for suppression and plasticity. However, these Tregs did differ in terms of cytokine/chemokine production as well as methylation state of the FOXP3 Treg-specific demethylated region. Futhermore, total populations of FOXP3⁺ Tregs were evaluated for chemokine expression; I found that Tregs produce significant quantities of CXCL8 and other acute phase chemokines, and are able to attract inflammatory cells of the innate immune system. In addition, FOXP3 expression enhances CXCL8 production, likely because of its ability to bind the CXCL8 gene promoter. To evaluate putative antigens that can be targeted by Treg therapy in inflammatory bowel disease, I assessed the role of flagellin in disease. Flagellin exacerbates colitic disease in mice in a TLR5 independent manner and flagellin-specific T cells can be identified in patients with CD. Collectively, these findings bring us closer to the effective application of Treg cellular therapy in the setting of mucosal disease.

description: Chemical looping reforming technology is among the most promising technologies for syngas and hydrogen production. The results from the assessments in this thesis has presented strong evidence that hydrogen could be produced at lower carbon emissions (18.6% to 53.4% less CO2(eq) emissions) and less expensive cost of production (33.1% less than SMR 85%CCS). In order to solve problems faced by conventional looping reforming, this thesis investigates the introduction of a new reaction pathway – carburization reactions, redefining the conventional system. Firstly, a proof-of-concept provides the insights into the main concept for the introduction of carburization reactions into a chemical looping reforming system. Showcasing a thermodynamic assessment for nine possible metal carbides highlighting the best evaluated metals as tungsten carbide and zirconium carbide with a possibility of generating a syngas quality (H2/CO ratio) of 9 and 16 respectively, however the zirconium required higher temperatures and could produce nitrides during oxidation stage when using air as oxidation agent. Then, a second study was performed to have a better understanding of the reaction. The outcomes showed the carburization reaction is described as a two-step mechanism. The first is a nucleation Avrami Erofe’ev second order and the second a nucleation power law fourth order. Furthermore, the application of the process requires it to be investigated in a simulated environment by the application of AspenPlus. The focus was to evaluate the system in three different cases each with different up and downstream units. The inputs and outputs were used for a life cycle assessment to evaluate the systems environmental burdens. This study presented a decrease in greenhouse gas emissions by at least 25% and up to 57% when compared to current steam methane technologies, proving that this is a promising technology for future hydrogen applications and energy transition pathway. Lastly, the results from the simulation were used in a techno-economic assessment. The outcomes of the economic analysis showed that, in general, the proposed carburization-based chemical looping reforming leads to a lower capital cost (at least 42.25% reduction to steam methane reforming) and hydrogen production costs that could achieve up to 45.93% cost reduction.

description: Confectionery cakes are products obtained by mixing, shaping, baking, or other suitable processing procedures of two or more ingredients, giving the characteristic sensory properties of the product. They can be filled or topped with fruit, chocolate and other creams or toppings. The chemical composition and high content of water make the confectionery cakes suitable for growth and multiplication of various microorganisms. Since contamination can occur at all stages of the production process, conducting good hygiene practices is necessary to obtain a product safe for consumption.
 The aim of this study was to provide insight into the contamination of confectionery cakes in the Republic of Croatia by potentially pathogenic microorganisms and microorganisms as indicators of hygienic production. The cakes were sampled in 2017. and analysed according to the microbiological criteria prescribed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005 of 15 November 2005 on microbiological criteria for foodstuffs and as recommended by the Guideline of Microbiological Criteria (Ministry of Agriculture, 2011). As a result of the study no pathogenic bacteria whose presence could have an adverse health effects, were identified in confectionery cakes and there was no need to make a risk characterization for the results obtained.
 Continuation of the research was focused on a more detailed study of enterobacterial species. In 2018, sampling of cakes was repeated in the area of the City of Zagreb and the following types of enterobacteria were identified: Enterobacter kobei, Enterobacter cloacae, Pantoea agglomerans, Serratia liquefaciens, Enterobacter asburiae, Klebsiella oxytoca, Buttiauxelinia galaia Cedecea neteri. Some of them were reported as a cause of disease, but under circumstances other than possible transmission by confectionery cakes or food in general, and these bacteria have been described as potentially pathogenic but the risk was not shown through adverse health effects. It was described as a risk of possible exposure to these bacteria in the case of consumption of confectionery cakes.
 No pathogenic microorganisms for which testing was prescribed in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 2073/2005 were present in any sample of confectionery cakes.

description: In a simple extension of the standard electroweak theory where the phenomenon of lepton flavor mixing is described by a 3x3 unitary matrix V, the electric and magnetic dipole moments of three active neutrinos are suppressed not only by their tiny masses but also by the Glashow-Iliopoulos-Maiani (GIM) mechanism. We show that it is possible to lift the GIM suppression if the canonical seesaw mechanism of neutrino mass generation, which allows V to be slightly non-unitary, is taken into account. In view of current experimental constraints on the non-unitarity of V, we find that the effective electromagnetic transition dipole moments of three light Majorana neutrinos and the rates of their radiative decays can be maximally enhanced by a factor of O(10^2) and a factor of O(10^4), respectively. This important observation reveals an intrinsic and presumably significant correlation between the electromagnetic properties of massive neutrinos and the origin of their small masses.

description: We investigate the effect of modified gravity on the specific angular momentum of galactic halos by analyzing the halo catalogs at z=0 from high-resolution N-body simulations for a f(R) gravity model that meets the solar-system constraint. It is shown that the galactic halos in the f(R) gravity model tend to acquire significantly higher specific angular momentum than those in the standard LCDM model. The largest difference in the specific angular momentum distribution between these two models occurs for the case of the isolated galactic halos with mass less than 10^{11}M_sun/h, which are likely least shielded by the chameleon screening mechanism. As the specific angular momentum of galactic halos is rather insensitive to the other cosmological parameters, it can in principle be an independent discriminator of modified gravity. We speculate a possibility of using the relative abundance of the low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs) as a test of GR given that the formation of the LSBGs befalls in the fast spinning dark halos.

description: The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions that faculty members have regarding the impact that faculty unionization has on shared governance at public universities in the United States. An exploratory sequential design mixed methods study was conducted in which 25 faculty senators from 13 universities were interviewed to determine their perceptions on the effect of faculty unionization on shared governance. Next, all the remaining faculty senators from those same institutions were surveyed with a questionnaire to generalize the findings to a larger population. The main findings were that participants perceived that faculty unionization had a positive impact on shared governance and that unionization improved faculty members’ working conditions and salaries. Through this study, it was determined that it would be in the best interests of improved shared governance if unions would be less confrontational with administrators, that there were perceptions by faculty members who de-unionized that shared governance was worse as a result of de-unionization, and that faculty felt safer when they were represented by a union. The findings were consistent with the literature in that there was the perception of the erosion of shared governance at institutions of higher education. However, the literature indicated more ambivalence regarding the appropriateness of faculty unionization than was reflected in the findings. Some lessons learned from the findings were that unionized faculty members today value their unions and value what their unions do for them. The findings also indicated a perception that a crisis of shared governance at universities continues to persist today and, indeed, may be worsening. Based on the findings, this study provides recommendations of how faculty unionization can have a positive impact on shared governance and some suggestions for university leaders with respect to improving shared governance by embracing unionized faculty.
