description: This paper provides insights into trademark activity at the regional level via two objectives. First, it examines the relationship between technological capabilities and new trademark applications. Second, it considers whether regions branch out to new trademark specializations that are related to their existing specializations. The paper employs European Union Intellectual Property Office’s (EUIPO) data to study 218 European NUTS-2 regions (16 countries) over the period 2000–16. Results show that increased technological stock is associated with more trademark applications and that existing trademark relatedness induces new specializations. These findings contribute to a better understanding of trademark activity and policies related to regional diversification including Smart Specialisation.

description: In this paper, the holographic dark energy model with new infrared cut-off proposed by Granda and Oliveros has been investigated in spatially non flat universe. The dependency of the evolution of equation of state, deceleration parameter and cosmological evolution of Hubble parameter on the parameters of new HDE model are calculated. Also, the statefinder parameters $r$ and $s$ in this model are derived and the evolutionary trajectories in $s-r$ plane are plotted. We show that the evolutionary trajectories are dependent on the model parameters of new HDE model. Eventually, in the light of SNe+BAO+OHD+CMB observational data, we plot the evolutionary trajectories in $s-r$ and $q-r$ planes for best fit values of the parameters of new HDE model.

description: We address an old problem in lattice gauge theory - the computation of the spectrum and wave functions of excited states. Our method is based on the Hamiltonian formulation of lattice gauge theory. As strategy, we propose to construct a stochastic basis of Bargmann link states, drawn from a physical probability density distribution. Then we compute transition amplitudes between stochastic basis states. From a matrix of transition elements we extract energy spectra and wave functions. We apply this method to U(1)$_{2+1}$ lattice gauge theory. We test the method by computing the energy spectrum, wave functions and thermodynamical functions of the electric Hamiltonian of this theory and compare them with analytical results. We observe a reasonable scaling of energies and wave functions in the variable of time. We also present first results on a small lattice for the full Hamiltonian including the magnetic term.

description: Regional science has long been concerned with measuring the spatial distribution of innovation activity. We introduce trademarks as a new indicator for regional innovation and argue that they are particularly useful to measure the ‘soft’ side of innovation that is difficult to capture with conventional indicators. We explore the spatial distribution of trademarks using a detailed and comprehensive dataset of 47 Japanese prefectures from 1999 to 2012. In addition to mapping differences in trademarking across regions, we identify correlates at the regional level that provide insights into determinants of regional innovation measured via trademarks. For example, regional trademark activity positively correlates with population density, income per capita, entrepreneurship rate, the number of universities, and strong private service and finance sectors. Overall, the results reveal associations unique to trademarks that other measures of innovation cannot uncover. Our findings contribute to research in regional science and the evolving literature on trademarks.

description: A new version of an elementary PT-symmetric square well quantum model is proposed in which a certain Hermiticity-violating end-point interaction leaves the spectrum real in a large domain of couplings $λ\in (-1,1)$. Within this interval we employ the usual coupling-independent operator P of parity and construct, in a systematic Runge-Kutta discrete approximation, a coupling-dependent operator of charge C which enables us to classify our P-asymmetric model as CPT-symmetric or, equivalently, hiddenly Hermitian alias cryptohermitian.

description: This paper analyses US payroll share and components across states for the period 1977–2017. Findings include that spatial clustering in payroll shares decreased until the year 2000. States are clustered in low and high productivity groups. We relate this phenomenon to dualism. High labour productivity states featured high payroll shares early on, but now feature low payroll shares. We label this phenomenon decoupling of labour productivity from real wages. A Divisia Decomposition documents that Rust Belt states dominated the decline in US payroll share in the 1980s, whereas more recently large (coastal) states dominated. While we do not explain (potentially different) mechanisms, decoupling is apparent throughout.
Integrating spatial and temporal distribution of snow dynamics into mule deer winter range habitat selection
Creators: name: Mityók, Zoltán K.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Many migratory terrestrial mammal species within North America rely on particular habitat characteristics to provide shelter from snow cover in order to assure inter-annual survivorship. Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) in particular, are reported to be in decline across South-central British Columbia, likely due to reductions in adequate winter range habitat, limiting the degree of shelter that can be utilized to avoid snow and low temperatures. This thesis sought to evaluate predictions from multiple step selection functions (SSF) by considering both mule deer responses to the timing and distribution of snow cover as well as forest stand attributes including canopy cover and forest edge. In order to generate such SSFs, increasing spatial and temporal information regarding snow timing and distribution across the landscape was required. Previously however, predictions of fine-scale snow dynamics across the landscape suitable for analysis with hourly telemetry data were limited. Therefore, the first component of this thesis was to utilize the strengths of both medium spatial resolution and high temporal resolution satellite imagery and develop a data fusion algorithm to predict snow cover dynamics at a 30m spatial resolution daily, since 2000 using Landsat data with MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) snow map data as inputs. The final fused snow map product (MODSAT-NDSI) achieved an overall accuracy of 90% using 33 validation test sites, which included government snow pillow data and an installed camera network. Environmental covariates from MODSAT-NDSI snow maps and 77 deer’s GPS telemetry data in the mule deer SSFs were used to produce predictions of relative probability of use for population-level estimates of habitat selection patterns. The top-ranked SSF models (based on AIC) indicated that mule deer avoided areas with greater, and more persistent, snow cover, and selected areas closer to forest edge. Key thesis outcomes include generated snow cover maps that can be updated and utilized in further studies, a data fusion algorithm that can be replicated for other remote sensing metrics, and habitat selection models that may help to inform future mule deer habitat management.

description: We suggest two experimental methods for probing both short- and long-range spin correlations of atoms in optical lattices using superlattice potentials. The first method involves an adiabatic doubling of the periodicity of the underlying lattice to probe neighboring singlet (triplet) correlations for fermions (bosons) by the occupation of the new vibrational ground state. The second method utilizes a time-dependent superlattice potential to generate spin-dependent transport by any number of prescribed lattice sites, and probes correlations by the resulting number of doubly occupied sites. For experimentally relevant parameters, we demonstrate how both methods yield large signatures of antiferromagnetic (AF) correlations of strongly repulsive fermionic atoms in a single shot of the experiment. Lastly, we show how this method may also be applied to probe d-wave pairing, a possible ground state candidate for the doped repulsive Hubbard model.

description: This paper pilots an approach for using trademark data to study regional diversification. Bridging the respective literatures, we develop a regional trademarking-intensity measure that can shed new light on how different regions diversify while also accounting for changing industrial structures and income levels (regional gross domestic product). The approach reveals that density has a moderate effect on trademarking intensity and confirms the strong relationship between new firm formation and regional diversification. These effects are found to vary by sector and to be sensitive to industry-level employment and turnover. Lastly, the analysis indicates that regional diversification differs sharply between urban and peripheral regions.

description: This paper examines the current system development processes of three major Turkish banks in terms of compliance to internationally accepted system development and software engineering standards to determine the common process problems of banks. After an in-depth investigation into system development and software engineering standards, related process-based standards were selected. Questions were then prepared covering the whole system development process by applying the classical Waterfall life cycle model. Each question is made up of guidance and suggestions from the international system development standards. To collect data, people from the information technology departments of three major banks in Turkey were interviewed. Results have been aggregated by examining the current process status of the three banks together. Problematic issues were identified using the international system development standards.

description: With the rising need for reducing animal use in research, in vitro models such as 3D cultures, spheroids and organoids have become an indisputable alternative. Brain organoids have achieved a high level of similarity to the native brain areas in terms of molecular machinery, however, there remains a huge difference in tissue patterning and functionality when it comes to recapitulating complex brain structures like the hippocampus. Taking this as an issue to address, we manipulated the non-cellular components of the microenvironment i.e., the extracellular matrix and signaling factors, for guiding neural stem cell differentiation and hippocampal formation. To this purpose, we first evaluated the neuroprotective and neurotrophic action of a novel viscoelastic biomaterial, i.e., magnesium alginate. This demonstrated to form 3D, soft yet stable, hydrogels promoting functional maturation of neuronal networks from primary neurons. Next, we used magnesium alginate as biomimetic extracellular matrix, along with hippocampal morphogens, to study the differentiation, tissue patterning, cytoarchitecture, and functionality of neural stem cell-derived hippocampal tissuoids. Microenvironmental cues were fundamental to address polarization and protein regionalization in the tissuoids, however, these did not achieve full functional maturation. Lastly, we observed the functional development of hippocampal primary neuron-derived spheroids which resulted to be reliable in vitro models of spontaneous epilepsy. Overall, the presented models provided valuable solutions to a wide range of applications for brain regenerative medicine, from studying the molecular basis of tissue development and disease to enabling new therapeutic design and testing.
Evaluating cardiac form and function in marine mammals
Creators: name: Storlund, Rhea
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: The hearts of marine mammals frequently sustain marked changes in heart rate and vascular resistance when diving. However, it is not known how marine mammal hearts facilitate these changes. I examined cardiac function and electrical activity of marine mammal hearts to understand how they might differ from terrestrial mammals. I measured electrocardiographic parameters in 8 Steller sea lions, 5 northern fur seals, and 1 walrus—and echocardiographic function in all 8 Steller sea lions. I also compiled electrocardiographic parameters from 17 species of marine mammals (including my measurements) for comparison with 50 species of terrestrial mammals. I found that atrial and ventricular depolarization are slower in marine mammals after accounting for differences in body mass—and that the left ventricle of Steller sea lions contracts less than expected for a mammal of that size. These differences in cardiac timing and function may reflect specialized adaptations for diving. Electrocardiographic measurements of Steller sea lions, northern fur seals, and a walrus also varied between species and among the individuals of each species. For example, sinus arrhythmias occurred in 5 out of 8 individual Steller sea lions, but not in northern fur seals or the walrus. Mean electrical axes were also unique to each individual and varied greatly. Measurements ranged from -124° to 80°—with 3 of the Steller sea lions having extreme right axis deviation (-111° to -124°). Echocardiographic measurements showed that left ventricular form was similar between Steller sea lions and terrestrial mammals, except that Steller sea lions have larger aortic roots and larger left ventricular end-systolic dimensions than terrestrial mammals. Overall, my results show that marine mammals have functionally similar hearts to terrestrial mammals with a number of notable differences that likely support anatomical adaptations to diving.
Some results on random design regression with long memory errors and predictors

description: This paper studies nonparametric regression with long memory (LRD) errors and predictors. First, we formulate general conditions which guarantee the standard rate of convergence for a nonparametric kernel estimator. Second, we calculate the Mean Integrated Squared Error (MISE). In particular, we show that LRD of errors may influence MISE. On the other hand, an estimator for a shape function is typically not influenced by LRD in errors. Finally, we investigate properties of a data-driven bandwidth choice. We show that Averaged Squared Error (ASE) is a good approximation of MISE, however, this is not the case for a cross-validation criterion.

description: We report on an XMM-Newton observation of the accreting millisecond pulsar, IGR J17511-3057. Pulsations at 244.8339512(1) Hz are observed with an RMS pulsed fraction of 14.4(3)%. A precise solution for the P_orb=12487.51(2)s binary system is derived. The measured mass function indicates a main sequence companion with a mass between 0.15 and 0.44 Msun. The XMM-Newton spectrum of the source can be modelled by at least three components, multicoloured disc emission, thermal emission from the NS surface and thermal Comptonization emission. Spectral fit of the XMM-Newton data and of the RXTE data, taken in a simultaneous temporal window, constrain the Comptonization parameters: the electron temperature, kT_e=51(+6,-4) keV, is rather high, while the optical depth (tau=1.34(+0.03,-0.06)) is moderate. The energy dependence of the pulsed fraction supports the interpretation of the cooler thermal component as coming from the accretion disc, and indicates that the Comptonizing plasma surrounds the hot spots on the NS surface, which provide the seed photons. Signatures of reflection, such as a broadened iron K-alpha emission line and a Compton hump at 30 keV ca., are also detected. We derive from the smearing of the reflection component an inner disc radius of ~> 40 km for a 1.4 Msun neutron star, and an inclination between 38° and 68°. XMM-Newton also observed two type-I X-ray bursts, probably ignited in a nearly pure helium environment. No photospheric radius expansion is observed, thus leading to an upper limit on the distance to the source of 10 kpc. A lower limit of 6.5 kpc can be also set if it is assumed that emission during the decaying part of the burst involves the whole neutron star surface. Pulsations observed during the burst decay are compatible with being phase locked, and have a similar amplitude, than pre-burst pulsations.

description: The major objective of this research is to assess the effects of winter ice cover and simulate the flooding within bridge vicinity of the Grand River, Ohio, the USA for both in the historical period (1959–2014) and future period (2015–2098). The LiDAR data along with field-verified survey data were utilized for the calibration and validation of HEC-RAS. The stage increments up to 6.75 ft were detected at the upstream section of the Bridge due to historical ice jams. Moreover, the increment in the inundation area varied from 24% to 52% for various percentile winter flows. The percentage increase in the inundation area was highest for the 25-percentile flow than the higher percentile flow when the same thickness of ice cover was used in the simulation. The estimated ice thickness using Stefan’s equation for various emission scenarios (RCP 2.6, RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5) for three climate models were found to be decreasing in the future period. As per the standard practice in the United States, authors have used U.S. Customary Unit System (fps unit system) in this paper.
Calcined calcium bentonite clay as a partial replacement of Portland cement in mortar
Creators: name: Penson, Curtis Robert
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: In this study, bentonite clay and lime were used as a partial replacement of Portland cement in mortar. The clay was calcined at 800, 850, 900 and 1000°C. Particle size distribution, chemical analysis, X-Ray diffraction, SEM analysis, and DSC analysis were completed as a high-level effort to characterize the chemical makeup of the bentonite clay. The Portland cement control mix had the highest compressive strength. However, all the 30% calcined bentonite clay/lime replacement mixes were about 90 – 99% of control at 28 days. Many of the 30% replacement mixes met the CSA A3000 strength requirement. The addition of lime was found to be fairly insignificant. A general variance regression was undertaken on the compressive strength results using Minitab on the factors of temperature (800, 850 and 900°C), days cured (3, 7, 28, 56, and 90), with calcined clay replacement (30, 50, and 70%), and lime replacement of the calcined clay in the binder mix (0, 10 and 20%). The general variance regression indicated that all factors and interactions were significant with a 95% confidence, except for the interaction of days cured and the amount of lime added. The most significant factors for the compressive strength were the days cured and the amount of clay replacement. The Normal Consistency results clearly indicated that when more ordinary Portland cement (OPC) was replaced with calcined clay, the volume of water required to obtain normal consistency also increased. The final setting times also followed the same trend with increased setting time with increased replacement of OPC with calcined clay. Based on the results and analysis conducted, it was recommended that the optimum mix was clay treatment at 800°C, 30% replacement with 0% lime.

description: Using the King & Wells method, we present experimental data on the dependence of the sticking of molecular hydrogen and deuterium on the beam temperature onto non- porous amorphous solid water (ASW) ice surfaces of interstellar interest. A statistical model that explains the isotopic effect and the beam temperature behavior of our data is proposed. This model gives an understanding of the discrepancy between all known experimental results on the sticking of molecular hydrogen. Moreover it is able to fit the theoretical results of V. Buch et al. [Astrophys. J. (1991), 379, 647] on atomic hydrogen and deuterium. For astrophysical applications, an analytical formula for the sticking coefficients of H, D, H2, D2 and HD in the case of a gas phase at thermal equilibrium is also provided at the end of the article.

description: The KPAAM-CAM Sociolinguistic Interview Guide (SLIG) is a fieldwork tool used by the members of the KPAAM-CAM project (https://kpaam-cam.org) for the collection of data about / from multilingual speakers in rural areas of Cameroon. Unlike most tools used for this purpose, it includes only minimal stimuli for the elicitation of self-reported language use and, instead, contains a number of stimuli for the discussion of the social networks in which respondents participate. Other than for statistical descriptions of the sample and some basic statistical analyses, the data generated through the SLIG can be used, for example, to populate Geographic Information Systems—thanks to the multiple data points about social networks anchored to real-world locations. The main application of SLIG data in KPAAM-CAM lies in the analysis of spontaneous multilingual behaviors: anyone present in recordings made by project members, be they speakers or by-standers, is in principle expected to respond to the SLIG, so that each recorded interaction can be analyzed on the background of ethnographically and biographically "thick" speaker metadata such as those provided b y the SLIG. The SLIG has been used in research on rural, non-polyglossic multilingualism in Cameroon but can be easily adapted to other contexts where language use is tightly connected with issues of relational identity (see Di Carlo, Esene Agwara, and Ojong Diba 2020, https://doi.org/10.1558/sols.38799, for an introduction to the difference between relational and categorical modes of identification in multilingual behaviors).

description: We compare the galaxy population in the Virgo, Fornax, Coma and Perseus cluster to a state-of-the-art semi-analytic model, focusing on the regime of dwarf galaxies with luminosities from approximately 10^8 L_sun to 10^9 L_sun. We find that the number density profiles of dwarfs in observed clusters are reproduced reasonably well, and that the red fractions of model clusters provide a good match to Coma and Perseus. On the other hand, the red fraction among dwarf galaxies in Virgo is clearly lower than in model clusters. We argue that this is mainly caused by the treatment of environmental effects in the model. This explanation is supported by our finding that the colours of central ("field") dwarf galaxies are reproduced well, in contrast to previous claims. Finally, we find that the dwarf-to-giant ratio in model clusters is too high. This may indicate that the current model prescription for tidal disruption of faint galaxies is still not efficient enough.

description: We present low-temperature specific heat of the electron-doped Ba(Fe$_{0.9}$Co$_{0.1}$)$_{2}$As$_{2}$, which does not show any indication of an upturn down to 400 mK, the lowest measuring temperature. The lack of a Schottky-like feature at low temperatures or in magnetic fields up to 9 Tesla enables us to identify enhanced low-temperature quasiparticle excitations and to study anisotropy in the linear term of the specific heat. Our results can not be explained by a single or multiple isotropic superconducting gap, but are consistent with multi-gap superconductivity with nodes on at least one Fermi surface sheet.

description: We are interested in the motion of a classical charge coupled to the Maxwell self-field and subject to a uniform external magnetic field, B. This is a physically relevant, but difficult dynamical problem, to which contributions range over more than one hundred years. Specifically, we will study the Sommerfeld-Page approximation which assumes an extended charge distribution at small velocities. The memory equation is then linear and many details become available. We discuss how the friction equation arises in the limit of "small" B and contrast this result with the standard Taylor expansion resulting in a second order equation for the velocity of the charge.

Η κατασκήνωση αυτή θα είναι φιλική προς το περιβάλλον, θα χρησιμοποιείται για εκπαιδευτικούς και ψυχαγωγικούς σκοπούς και θα λειτουργεί κατά τη διάρκεια της καλοκαιρινής περιόδου. Αρχικά, επιλέχθηκε το είδος και ο αριθμός των προκατασκευασμένων κτηρίων που θα χρησιμοποιηθούν και προσδιορίστηκαν οι ανάγκες των φιλοξενούμενων σε ηλεκτρισμό. Η επιλογή των κτηρίων έγινε, με βάση οικονομικά και περιβαλλοντικά κριτήρια, επίσης σύμφωνα με τη χωρητικότητά τους.  Στη συνέχεια, με τη βοήθεια του λογισμικού Homer, έγινε προσομοίωση όλων των πιθανών συνδυασμών, των αποκεντρωμένων υβριδικών συστημάτων ενέργειας, επιλέχθηκε ο βέλτιστος από αυτούς συνδυασμός και έγινε ανάλυση ευαισθησίας σε επιλεγμένες μεταβλητές. Στο τέλος, παρουσιάζονται τα οικονομικά και περιβαλλοντικά αποτελέσματα της ανάλυσης αυτής.
description: The main objective of this dissertation is the design of an energy autonomous camp which will be built in a span of the Orthodox academy of Crete in Nopigia, Chania. This camp will be environmentally friendly and will be used for academic and recreational purposes during the summer season. Initially, the type and number of the prefabricated buildings were chosen so that the needs for electricity could be defined. The choosing of the buildings took place in accordance to economic and environmental criteria, as well as the room required. Next, using the Homer software, there was a simulation of the decentralized hybrid energy systems. The best combination available was chosen and then analysis of sensitivity in certain variables took place. Finally, the economic and environmental results for this analysis are presented.

Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii) trophodynamics and fisheries in the Northeast Pacific Ocean
Creators: name: Surma, Szymon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Pacific herring is a common North Pacific forage fish targeted by commercial, aboriginal, and subsistence fisheries. Recent declines in several Northeast Pacific herring stocks have caused concern among scientists, management agencies, and aboriginal peoples. This dissertation investigates the trophodynamics of herring in Northeast Pacific ecosystems and their effects on fisheries management. Its main hypothesis is that herring interacts strongly with both predators and prey, with some interactions governed by top- down and others by bottom-up control. Chapter 1 presents a set of high-resolution, mass- balanced ecosystem models representing waters surrounding Haida Gwaii, an archipelago off northern British Columbia, Canada. These three models provide a dynamic simulation platform and indicate strong interactions between herring and its predators and prey, as well as notable changes in local ecosystem structure across the 20th century, largely due to fishing and whaling. Chapter 2 reveals whale depletion and recovery trajectories off Haida Gwaii, and the historical and current role of whales as consumers, using surplus production and ecosystem models, respectively. Dynamic ecosystem simulations suggest that whale recovery could exert top-down effects on herring and other prey, with indirect trophic impacts on competing predators and ecosystem composition. Chapter 3 employs management strategy evaluation, combined with ecosystem simulations, to comparatively evaluate potential impacts of herring depletion and fisheries management strategies on dependent predators and ecosystem structure. The results suggest sharp tradeoffs between herring and many predator biomasses on the one hand and high, stable herring catches on the other, as well as potential compromise solutions. Chapter 4 investigates the potential positive effects of high adult herring energy content on the trophic role of herring using energy-balanced ecosystem models, reformulated from their mass-balanced counterparts using a novel methodology. Both static and dynamic analyses conducted in these models indicate that elevated energy content increases the dependence of numerous predators on herring. It may thus be concluded that herring, while belonging to a diverse forage fish guild, nevertheless exercises a key role in Northeast Pacific ecosystems as a trophic node connecting zooplankton to higher predators. Many of these depend on herring to support healthy populations, stimulating management tradeoffs for commercial herring fisheries.
