Sustainability and urban density in Vancouver
Creators: name: Seguin, Mireille
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: This study analyses the role urban density plays throughout sustainable planning in the City of Vancouver. The research asks the following questions: Is increased density inherently “Eco” or “Sustainable?” What must be considered to create sustainable urban densification? How does this fit with the City of Vancouver’s density model and what gaps exist in current planning to create a sustainable future? Through expert interviews in conjunction with an analysis of peer reviewed literature and government documents, it can be seen that there is significant debate surrounding density as a tool for sustainability. Given this background, it is recommended that urban density be analysed further by the City of Vancouver through the conduction of Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) to obtain more comprehensive data to eliminate this ambiguity. I recommend the city of Vancouver should conduct LCAs to obtain more complete data surrounding emissions and urban density and should follow the standards as put forth in ISO 14040 and 14044. By looking at past legislation, specifically the EcoDensity Charter of 2006, it is recommended that density is reintegrated in the sustainability conversation. Because of the negative reaction EcoDensity received, density as a topic was not included in the Greenest City 2020 Action Plan and as the city moves forward to create a new sustainability mandate, they should adopt constructive practices to bring the density question back in to the discussion as it is a key piece, without which a sustainable city cannot be achieved.

description: The processes of coherent bremsstrahlung (CB) and coherent pair production (CPP) based on aligned crystal targets have been studied in the energy range 20-170 GeV. The experimental arrangement allowed for measurements of single photon properties of these phenomena including their polarization dependences. This is significant as the theoretical description of CB and CPP is an area of active theoretical debate and development. With the theoretical approach used in this paper both the measured cross sections and polarization observables are predicted very well. This indicates a proper understanding of CB and CPP up to energies of 170 GeV. Birefringence in CPP on aligned crystals is applied to determine the polarization parameters in our measurements. New technologies for high energy photon beam optics including phase plates and polarimeters for linear and circular polarization are demonstrated in this experiment. Coherent bremsstrahlung for the strings-on-strings (SOS) orientation yields a larger enhancement for hard photons than CB for the channeling orientations of the crystal. Our measurements and our calculations indicate low photon polarizations for the high energy SOS photons.

description: We consider two new problems regarding the impact of edge addition or removal on the modularity of partitions (or community structures) in a network. The first problem seeks to add edges to enforce that a desired partition is the partition that maximizes modularity. The second problem seeks to find the sparsest representation of a network that has the same partition with maximum modularity as the original network. We present integer programming formulations, a row generation algorithm, and heuristic algorithms to solve these problems. Further, we demonstrate a counter-intuitive behavior of modularity that makes the development of heuristics for general networks difficult. We then present results on a selection of social and illicit networks from the literature.

description: Inflammatory stresses underlie endothelial dysfunction and contribute to the development of chronic cardiovascular disorders such as atherosclerosis and vascular fibrosis. The initial transcriptional response of endothelial cells to pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha is well established. However, very few studies uncover the effects of inflammatory stresses on chromatin architecture. We used integrative analysis of ATACseq and RNA-seq data to investigate chromatin alterations in human endothelial cells in response to TNF-alpha and febrile-range heat stress exposure. Multi-omics data analysis suggests a correlation between the transcription of stress-related genes and endothelial dysfunction drivers with chromatin regions exhibiting differential accessibility. Moreover, microscopy identified the dynamics in the nuclear organization, specifically, the changes in a subset of heterochromatic nucleoli-associated chromatin domains, the centromeres. Upon inflammatory stress exposure, the centromeres decreased association with nucleoli in a p38-dependent manner and increased the number of transcripts from pericentromeric regions. Overall, we provide two lines of evidence that suggest chromatin alterations in vascular endothelial cells during inflammatory stresses.

description: When studied by small-angle neutron scattering the vortex lattice (VL) in UPt3 undergoes a gradual disordering as a function of time due to 235U fission. This temporarily heats regions of the sample above the critical temperature, where, upon re-cooling, the vortices remain in a quenched vortex glass state. The disordering rate is proportional to the magnetic field, suggesting that it is governed by collective VL properties such as the elastic moduli. An ordered VL can be re-formed by applying a small field oscillation, showing that the fission does not cause significant radiation damage to the UPt3 crystals, even after long exposure.

description: We consider 5-point functions in conformal field theories in d > 2 dimensions. Using weight-shifting operators, we derive recursion relations which allow for the computation of arbitrary conformal blocks appearing in 5-point functions of scalar operators, reducing them to a linear combination of blocks with scalars exchanged. We additionally derive recursion relations for the conformal blocks which appear when one of the external operators in the 5-point function has spin 1 or 2. Our results allow us to formulate positivity constraints using 5-point functions which describe the expectation value of the energy operator in bilocal states created by two scalars.

description: Objective: To quantify the association of depressive symptoms with retained activity participation 3 months post-stroke, after adjusting for neurological stroke severity and age. Design: A cross-sectional observational study of retained activity participation and depressive symptoms in stroke survivors with ischaemic stroke. Participants: One hundred stroke survivors with mild neurological stroke severity. Methods: One hundred stroke survivors were recruited from 5 metropolitan hospitals and reviewed at 3 months post-stroke using measures of activity participation, Activity Card Sort-Australia, and depressive symptoms, Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale Structured Interview Guide (MADRS-SIGMA). Results: The median percentage of retained overall activity participation was 97%, (interquartile range 79-100%). Using multiple median regression, 1 point increase in the MADRS-SIGMA was associated with a median decrease of 0.7% (95% CI -1.4 to -0.1, p=0.02) of retained overall activity participation, assuming similar neurological stroke severity and age. Conclusion: The findings of this study establish the association of depressive symptoms with retained activity participation 3 months post-stroke in stroke survivors with mild neurological stroke severity. Clinical rehabilitation recommendations to enhance activity participation need to account for those with even mild depressive symptoms post-stroke.

description: The R/V POSEIDON cruise POS539 took place in the northwestern basin of the Black Sea (42°30’N to 44°N and 29°E to 31°E). The overarching aim of the campaign was to obtain sediment and water samples, including suspended particle material, from the various redox zones of the Black Sea. The campaign lasted between November 6th and November 21st 2019 and the collected samples were taken in order to investigate the activity and physiology of microorganisms involved in the conversion of nitrogen compounds and degradation of organic carbon under various oxygen conditions. The main topics of the cruise were: (a) to quantify the contribution of archaeal nitrifiers to the nitrogen and carbon cycles, b) to measure the production and consumption of the powerful greenhouse gases CH4 and N2O, c) to record palaeoenvironmental changes in high resolution, and d) to describe the complexity and identity of biopolymers. For this, water and sediment samples were retrieved from 10 discrete shelf and slope stations. First, ‘deep water’ transect was conducted, which included three stations with water depths over 2000 m. The second perpendicular transect encompassed stations that gradually transitioned from the deep parts of the slope towards the shelf (ca. 80 m depth). Additionally, two stations were setup north and south of the shelf transect, respectively, for paleoceanographic studies. Throughout the cruise the weather conditions were overwhelmingly good, only towards the end of the campaign gusty winds of 7 Bft were recorded. The recorded oceanographic conditions were in agreement with the expected water properties at all stations. Station activities were completed on November 20th at 14:00 local board time. On November 21st at 10:30 local time, R/V POSEIDON reached the port of Varna, Bulgaria, thus concluding the POS539 expedition. Analyses and results from the samples and experiments will provide a basis for our understanding of the microbial control on the carbon and nitrogen cycle of the Black Sea.

description: Future cellular networks are intended to have the ability to sense the environment by utilizing reflections of transmitted signals. Multi-dimensional sensing brings along the crucial advantage of being able to resort to multiple domains to resolve targets, enhancing detection capabilities compared to 1D estimation. However, estimating parameters jointly in 5G New Radio (NR) systems poses the challenge of limiting the computational complexity while preserving a high resolution. To that end, we make us of channel state information (CSI) decimation for MUltiple SIgnal Classification (MUSIC)-based joint range-angle of arrival (AoA) estimation. We further introduce multi-peak search routines to achieve additional detection capability improvements. Simulation results with orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) signals show that we attain higher detection probabilities for closely spaced targets than with 1D range-only estimation. Moreover, we demonstrate that for our considered 5G setup, we are able to significantly reduce the required number of computations due to CSI decimation.

Public perceptions of coyotes in Vancouver
Creators: name: Proulx, Renée
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The coyote (Canis latrans) has benefitted from the urbanization of previously undeveloped areas and have successfully expanded their range across North America. As they are newcomers, it is interesting to track how the public interacts with and perceives the species. This study is modelled after a past thesis examining public opinion on the coyote in Vancouver and sought to provide updated findings for the use of wildlife management groups. The Stanley Park Ecological Society’s Co-Existing with Coyotes program is interested in updating the research to offer a newer perspective of public opinion to guide further business conducted by the organization. A survey was designed to fill this research gap. In consultation with current scientific research surrounding urban wildlife and coyote ecology, two primary sources of negative attitudes towards the species were identified: misconceptions regarding cases of aggression towards humans and pets by coyotes, and coyote diet. The survey, which ran from March 4th to March 28th 2015, collected 255 responses from Vancouver residents and included questions related to personal concerns, attitudes and knowledge towards coyotes. The survey results suggest that a majority of Vancouver residents are aware of coyote presence in the area. While 56.6% of respondents indicated that they felt positively towards coyotes and 30.4% indicating neutral attitudes, negative feelings towards the urban wildlife species was linked to misconceptions and overestimation of coyote size and cases of aggression. When compared to the results collected 20 years ago, more residents appear to have positive attitudes towards the species and misconceptions surrounding the species have decreased. However, the results still showed environmental illiteracy surrounding management issues such as the belief that relocation is a sustainable option. Based on the results, recommendations were made to target pet owners for educational campaigns, increase advertisement of existing resources, and to clarify role to public in collaboration with other government agencies and through self-promotion. Further research on garbage and compost storage habits in relation to the public perception of coyotes is also suggested.

description: Beginning with the Everett-DeWitt many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, there have been a series of proposals for how the state vector of a quantum system might split at any instant into orthogonal branches, each of which exhibits approximately classical behavior. Here we propose a decomposition of a state vector into branches by finding the minimum of a measure of the mean squared quantum complexity of the branches in the branch decomposition. In a non-relativistic formulation of this proposal, branching occurs repeatedly over time, with each branch splitting successively into further sub-branches among which the branch followed by the real world is chosen randomly according to the Born rule. In a Lorentz covariant version, the real world is a single random draw from the set of branches at asymptotically late time, restored to finite time by sequentially retracing the set of branching events implied by the late time choice. The complexity measure depends on a parameter $b$ with units of volume which sets the boundary between quantum and classical behavior. The value of $b$ is, in principle, accessible to experiment.

description: The hitherto unprecedented angular resolution of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has created exciting opportunities in the search for new physics. Recently, the linear polarization of radiation emitted near the supermassive black hole M87$^\star$ was measured on four separate days, precisely enabling tests of the existence of a dense axion cloud produced by a spinning black hole. The presence of an axion cloud leads to a frequency-independent oscillation in the electric vector position angle (EVPA) of this linear polarization. For a nearly face-on M87$^\star$, this oscillation in the EVPA appears as a propagating wave along the photon ring. In this paper, we leverage the azimuthal distribution of EVPA measured by the EHT to study the axion-photon coupling. We propose a novel differential analysis procedure to reduce the astrophysical background, and derive stringent constraints on the existence of axions in the previously unexplored mass window $\sim (10^{-21}-10^{-20})$~eV.

description: Over the recent decades, supply chains have faced unprecedented challenges and uncertainties. Disruptions, particularly recent global COVID-19, have exposed the inherent vulnerabilities in supply chains. Traditional supply chain structures have given way to interconnected and dynamic networks that demand agility, adaptability, and a strong commitment to collaboration. Collaboration among supply chain members is nowadays crucial to managing disruptions. This shift toward collaboration signifies that no single entity possesses all the resources required to manage multifaceted challenges of disruptions. Vertical, horizontal, and internal collaborations, can be powerful strategies for resilience against disruptions. There is a research gap in examining the dynamics of collaboration in disrupted supply chains. Exploring the dynamics of different forms of collaborations in the face of disruption is an important avenue for this research to enhance supply chain resilience.
This thesis investigates collaboration in supply chains, examining how collaboration in the buyer-supplier relationships could promote resiliency that harnesses the collective strength against disruptions. The first part of the thesis examines horizontal collaboration among competing suppliers and explores the challenges of establishing stable, long-lasting collaboration between them. An evolutionary game model is developed that employs an agent-based and system-dynamics simulation approach to dissect the dynamics of collaboration. AnyLogic is used to analyse the model.
The second part of the thesis delves into vertical collaboration to boost supply flexibility through shared information under a quantity flexibility contract when the demand is uncertain. A Stackelberg game model is developed followed by a risk-sharing contract term to encourage a supplier’s commitment to the shared information.
The last part of the thesis explores the dynamics of vertical collaboration to adopt blockchain technology in semiconductor reverse supply chains. It illustrates how collaboration, especially through new technology adoption, can reduce counterfeits and subsequent shortages within the semiconductor supply chain. This section is extended to develop an integrated Evolutionary game – Stackelberg game that examines the stability of collaboration in the presence of uncertified counterfeiter markets. The outputs of this thesis provide insights for future research interested in examining the role of collaboration in enhancing supply chain resilience.

description: Gold is the most popular type of investment due to its ease of ownership, low level of risk, and various advantages such as inflation-resistance, high liquidity, and affordability for all groups. Supported by a BPS survey which shows that 58% of people choose gold as the main instrument and an average global price increase trend of 12% in the last 10 years, it is important to predict gold prices to support optimal investment decision-making. This study aims to evaluate and compare the performance of the Support Vector Regression (SVR) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models in predicting the price of Indonesian gold.The methods used in this study are SVR and ANN methods with Grid Search Optimization carried out on each method to determine the optimal parameters. The results of this study show that the best model in predicting Indonesian gold prices is the ANN model with an activation function Tanh produced an RMSE value of 44576.672, MAPE of 2.88%, MAE of 38301.776, and AIC amounting to 752,528. The ANN method with the Tanh activation function is the best method for predicting the price of Indonesian gold with smaller RMSE, MAPE, MAE, and AIC values compared to the SVR method.

description: Superpixels are higher-order perceptual groups of pixels in an image, often carrying much more information than the raw pixels. There is an inherent relational structure to the relationship among different superpixels of an image such as adjacent superpixels are neighbours of each other. Our interest here is to treat these relative positions of various superpixels as relational information of an image. This relational information can convey higher-order spatial information about the image, such as the relationship between superpixels representing two eyes in an image of a cat. That is, two eyes are placed adjacent to each other in a straight line or the mouth is below the nose. Our motive in this paper is to assist computer vision models, specifically those based on Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), by incorporating this higher-order information from superpixels. We construct a hybrid model that leverages (a) Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to deal with spatial information in an image and (b) Graph Neural Network (GNN) to deal with relational superpixel information in the image. The proposed model is learned using a generic hybrid loss function. Our experiments are extensive, and we evaluate the predictive performance of our proposed hybrid vision model on seven different image classification datasets from a variety of domains such as digit and object recognition, biometrics, medical imaging. The results demonstrate that the relational superpixel information processed by a GNN can improve the performance of a standard CNN-based vision system.

description: We study synthesis of reactive systems interacting with environments using an infinite data domain. A popular formalism for specifying and modelling such systems is register automata and transducers. They extend finite-state automata by adding registers to store data values and to compare the incoming data values against stored ones. Synthesis from nondeterministic or universal register automata is undecidable in general. However, its register-bounded variant, where additionally a bound on the number of registers in a sought transducer is given, is known to be decidable for universal register automata which can compare data for equality, i.e., for data domain (N,=). This paper extends the decidability border to the domain (N,

Revitalising Vancouver's arts and culture sector : strengthening human capital networks in the False Creek Flats by increasing spatial proximity between firms
Creators: name: Parkinson, Kendra
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: This research is conducted on behalf of the Vancouver Economic Commission (VEC) and City Studio in order to assess the strength of the relationship between spatial proximity and number of annual creative alliances across firms. In this analysis of Vancouver’s arts and culture industry, I examine the strength and types of human capital networks present in the False Creek region in relation to geographic region. This formerly industrial area has been encroached upon by real estate and high end development. Development is threatening existing businesses in the area, particularly arts and culture businesses with low rates of revenue. Vancouver Opera and Great Northern Way Scene Shop are the basis for this study, and are considered ‘hot spots’ for the industry, as they appear to be central to the operations of the local arts and culture scene. Types of firms and number of annual contracts or alliances are mapped between the following types of businesses: private, public, non-profit, freelancer, and small-firm networks. It is found that the contracts and alliances are predominantly local, with 75% of the firms residing in the Vancouver-Metro area. Vancouver Opera and Great Northern Way Scene Shop make it a priority to hire local artists or work for local firms, but it is not always financially feasible. Through increasing project opportunities and connections between different types of firms or businesses this strengthens the arts and culture community in the False Creek Flats. The VEC can maintain inner city growth of the arts and culture sector by establishing zoning laws that allow for industrial processes to continue alongside residential development. I suggest that this can be done through mixed use spaces and buildings which favour arts and culture businesses as tenants, and having artists or other individuals who work in the sector to reside in the other parts of the building. This would lower carbon emissions due to decreased transport, and would also support the expansion of a vibrant ‘green’ arts community.
How particular is the physics of the free energy principle?

description: The free energy principle (FEP) states that any dynamical system can be interpreted as performing Bayesian inference upon its surrounding environment. In this work, we examine in depth the assumptions required to derive the FEP in the simplest possible set of systems -- weakly-coupled non-equilibrium linear stochastic systems. Specifically, we explore (i) how general the requirements imposed on the statistical structure of a system are and (ii) how informative the FEP is about the behaviour of such systems. We discover that two requirements of the FEP -- the Markov blanket condition (i.e. a statistical boundary precluding direct coupling between internal and external states) and stringent restrictions on its solenoidal flows (i.e. tendencies driving a system out of equilibrium) -- are only valid for a very narrow space of parameters. Suitable systems require an absence of perception-action asymmetries that is highly unusual for living systems interacting with an environment. More importantly, we observe that a mathematically central step in the argument, connecting the behaviour of a system to variational inference, relies on an implicit equivalence between the dynamics of the average states of a system with the average of the dynamics of those states. This equivalence does not hold in general even for linear systems, since it requires an effective decoupling from the system's history of interactions. These observations are critical for evaluating the generality and applicability of the FEP and indicate the existence of significant problems of the theory in its current form. These issues make the FEP, as it stands, not straightforwardly applicable to the simple linear systems studied here and suggest that more development is needed before the theory could be applied to the kind of complex systems that describe living and cognitive processes.

description: Convective drying of biomass is an important technological solution required to increase the quality of biomass for efficient biomass conversion in heat and power generation sector. We propose a fully predictive method based on iteratively solving heat power conservation equation, which evaluates the convective drying rate for deep fixed porous material bed containing any type of evaporating liquid during a constant-rate drying period with given inlet air parameters. The analysis of the heat power conservation equation during the constant-rate period showed that the drying rate of deep fixed moist porous material bed is a linear function of the inlet air mass flow rate and is independent of the initial masses of water and dry material inside the bed when inlet air absolute humidity is constant. Furthermore, the proposed method estimates the theoretical maximum possible drying rate for a drying system with given inlet air conditions and; therefore, it can be used as an important tool for designing industrial equipment and verifying the correctness of drying experiments.

description: We use techniques in the shuffle algebra to present a formula for the partition function of a one-dimensional log-gas comprised of particles of (possibly) different integer charges at certain inverse temperature $β$ in terms of the Berezin integral of an associated non-homogeneous alternating tensor. This generalizes previously known results by removing the restriction on the number of species of odd charge. Our methods provide a unified framework extending the de Bruijn integral identities from classical $β$-ensembles ($β$ = 1, 2, 4) to multicomponent ensembles, as well as to iterated integrals of more general determinantal integrands.

description: Isomers with three- and five-nucleon-hole configurations have been established in $^{203}$Tl. These include newly identified levels with a three-nucleon structure: {\it I}$^{π}$ = (15/2$^{-}$) with {\it T}$_{1/2}$ = 7.9(5) ns, and {\it I}$^{π}$ = (35/2$^{-}$) with {\it T}$_{1/2}$ = 4.0(5) ns. In addition, five-quasiparticle states: {\it I}$^{π}$ = (39/2$^{-}$) with {\it T}$_{1/2}$ = 1.9(2) ns, and {\it I}$^{π}$ = (49/2$^{+}$) with {\it T}$_{1/2}$ = 3.4(4) ns have also been established. The previously determined long-lived decay [{\it T}$_{1/2}$ = 6.6(3) $μ$s from this work] is associated with isomerism of the {\it I}$^{π}$ = (29/2$^{+}$) state. Levels above this long-lived isomer have been identified through a delayed-prompt coincidence measurement. Five-nucleon-hole states with excitation energies {\it E}$_{x}$ $\approx $ 7 MeV have been established as well as possible octupole excitations of the $^{208}$Pb core built on these levels. The level scheme of $^{203}$Tl is extended up to {\it E}$_{x}$ $\approx $ 11 MeV with the inclusion of 25 new transitions. Empirical and shell-model calculations have been performed to aid in the description of the observed states which are found to be predominantly of intrinsic character.
