Characteristics of the multi-problem family : a study of child care, crime, juvenile delinquency and economic dependency as related to family functioning in the multi-problem family
Creators: name: Carlile, Collin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: "Factors Associated With Crime and Juvenile Delinquency, Economic Dependency, and Inadequate Child Care In Multi-Problem Families". A thesis presented by Collin Carlile, John Cushnie, Roy Fong, Kenneth Pauli, Helen Ruckle, Ailsa Walker and Arthur Veroba. The purpose of this study was to explore associations between the factors of child care, crime and juvenile delinquency, and economic dependency, and selected family functioning variables. These family functioning variables were chosen from the scale utilized by Geismar-Ayres in the St. Paul Study on Multi-Problem Families. Simple random sampling was used to select 100 cases from a group of 250 cases previously selected and in use by the Vancouver Area Development Project. The source material consisted of Area Development Project case profiles and score sheets, and selected case file material. The collected data was sorted and tabulated in such a manner as to allow comparison of the association between the specific variables. The reliability of the ratings used was assumed as all data was previously recorded by Vancouver Area Development Project Staff who had been trained in utilizing the rating scale. This study was an "ex-post-facto” survey and therefore was not intended to necessarily delineate any complex etiological patterns. No factors were found to be highly associated with any of the family functioning variables though several incidents of moderate association were found. The family functioning factor most closely associated with economic dependency was the absence of one parent from the home. The factor most closely associated with inadequate child care was the inadequate behaviour of the mother. The factor most closely associated with delinquency and crime was inadequacy in the behaviour of the mother and inadequacy in marital relationships respectively. The major significant findings of this study would seem to indicate that it has fulfilled its purpose by underlining the need for further studies of family functioning variables within the context of multi-problem families. Such future studies would necessarily be intensified both in depth and focus.

description: Plastic surgery is rarely included as part of the undergraduate medical curriculum, and time-poor junior doctors can struggle to access teaching programs for plastic surgery. Systematic reviews and a randomised-controlled trial aimed to establish whether learning using a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) was at least equivalent to reading text for increasing and retaining knowledge in plastic surgery in medical students and junior doctors. The secondary aim was to assess learner experience in MOOCs compared to text-based learning. Learning via a MOOC was shown to be as effective as text-based learning, but users had better knowledge retention and favoured the MOOC learning style.

description: In Permalloy submicron triangles, configurational anisotropy - a higher-order form of shape anisotropy - yields three equivalent easy axes, imposed by the structures' symmetry order. Supported by micromagnetic simulations, an experimental method was devised to evaluate the nanostructure dimensions for which a Stoner-Wohlfarth type of reversal could be used to describe this particular magnetic anisotropy. In this regime, a straightforward procedure using an in-plane rotating field allowed us to quantify experimentally the six-fold anisotropy fields for triangles of different thicknesses and sizes.
Detection of orbital parameter changes in the TrES-2 exoplanet ?

description: We report a possible change in the orbit parameters of the TrES-2 exoplanet. With a period of 2.470621 days, the TrES-2 exoplanet exhibits almost "grazing" transits 110.4 minutes duration as measured in 2006 by Holman and collaborators. We observed two transits of TrES-2 in 2008 using the 1.2m Oskar-Luhning telescope (OLT) of Hamburg observatory employing CCD photometry in an i-band and a near to R-band filter. A careful light curve analysis including a re-analysis of the 2006 observations shows that the current transit duration has shortened since 2006 by ~ 3.16 minutes. Although the new observations were taken in a different filter we argue that the observed change in transit duration time cannot be attributed to the treatment of limb darkening. If we assume the stellar and planetary radii to be constant, a change in orbit inclination is the most likely cause of this change in transit duration.

description: We investigate the possibility that the dark matter consists of clusters of the heavy family quarks and leptons with zero Yukawa couplings to the lower families. Such a family is predicted by the {\it approach unifying spin and charges} as the fifth family. We make a rough estimation of properties of baryons of this new family members, of their behaviour during the evolution of the universe and when scattering on the ordinary matter and study possible limitations on the family properties due to the cosmological and direct experimental evidences.

description: We present a noncommutative extension of Einstein-Hilbert gravity in the context of twist-deformed space-time, with a $\star$-product associated to a quite general triangular Drinfeld twist. In particular the $\star$-product can be chosen to be the usual Groenewald-Moyal product. The action is geometric, invariant under diffeomorphisms and centrally extended Lorentz $\star$-gauge transformations. In the commutative limit it reduces to ordinary gravity, with local Lorentz invariance and usual real vielbein. This we achieve by imposing a charge conjugation condition on the noncommutative vielbein. The theory is coupled to fermions, by adding the analog of the Dirac action in curved space. A noncommutative Majorana condition can be imposed, consistent with the $\star$-gauge transformations. Finally, we discuss the noncommutative version of the Mac-Dowell Mansouri action, quadratic in curvatures.

The Thermodynamics of Molecular Cloud Fragmentation: Star Formation Under Non-Milky Way Conditions

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: Properties of candidate stars, forming out of molecular clouds, depend on the ambient conditions of the parent cloud. We present a series of 2D and 3D simulations of fragmentation of molecular clouds in starburst regions as well as clouds under conditions in dwarf galaxies, leading to the formation of protostellar cores. We explore in particular the metallicity dependence of molecular cloud fragmentation and the possible variations in the dense core mass function, as the expression of a multi-phase ISM, due to dynamic and thermodynamic effects in starburst and metal-poor environments. To study the level of fragmentation during the collapse, the adaptive mesh refinement code FLASH is used. With this code, including self-gravity, thermal balance, turbulence and shocks, collapse is simulated with four different metallicity dependent cooling functions. Turbulent and rotational energies are considered as well. During the simulations, number densities of 10^8-10^9 cm^-3 are reached. The influences of dust and cosmic ray heating are investigated and a comparison to isothermal cases is made. The presented results indicate that fragmentation increases with metallicity, while cosmic ray and gas-grain collisional heating counteract this. We also find that modest rotation and turbulence can impact the cloud evolution as far as fragmentation is concerned. In this light, we conclude that radiative feedback, in starburst regions, will inhibit fragmentation, while low-metallicity dwarfs also should enjoy a star formation mode in which fragmentation is suppressed.

description: Let $\mathcal{D}$ be the classical Dirichlet space, the Hilbert space of holomorphic functions on the disk. Given a holomorphic symbol function $b$ we define the associated Hankel type bilinear form, initially for polynomials f and g, by $T_{b}(f,g):= < fg,b >_{\mathcal{D}} $, where we are looking at the inner product in the space $\mathcal{D}$. We let the norm of $T_{b}$ denotes its norm as a bilinear map from $\mathcal{D}\times\mathcal{D}$ to the complex numbers. We say a function $b$ is in the space $\mathcal{X}$ if the measure $dμ_{b}:=| b^{\prime}(z)| ^{2}dA$ is a Carleson measure for $\mathcal{D}$ and norm $\mathcal{X}$ by $$ \Vert b\Vert_{\mathcal{X}}:=| b(0)| +\Vert | b^{\prime}(z)| ^{2}dA\Vert_{CM(\mathcal{D})}^{1/2}. $$ Our main result is $T_{b}$ is bounded if and only if $b\in\mathcal{X}$ and $$ \Vert T_{b}\Vert_{\mathcal{D\times D}}\approx\Vert b\Vert_{\mathcal{X}}. $$

description: We present near- and mid-infrared observations on the shock-cloud interaction region in the southern part of the supernova remnant HB 21, performed with the InfraRed Camera (IRC) aboard AKARI satellite and the Wide InfraRed Camera (WIRC) at the Palomar 5 m telescope. The IRC 4 um (N4), 7 um (S7), and 11 um (S11) band images and the WIRC H2 v=1->0 S(1) 2.12 um image show similar diffuse features, around a shocked CO cloud. We analyzed the emission through comparison with the H2 line emission of several shock models. The IRC colors are well explained by the thermal admixture model of H2 gas--whose infinitesimal H2 column density has a power-law relation with the temperature $T$, $dN\sim T^{-b}dT$--with n(H2) $\sim3.9\times10^4$ cm^{-2}, $b\sim4.2$, and N(H2;T>100K) $\sim2.8\times10^{21}$ cm^{-2}. We interpreted these parameters with several different pictures of the shock-cloud interactions--multiple planar C-shocks, bow shocks, and shocked clumps--and discuss their weaknesses and strengths. The observed H2 v=1->0 S(1) intensity is four times greater than the prediction from the power-law admixture model, the same tendency as found in the northern part of HB 21 (Paper I). We also explored the limitation of the thermal admixture model with respect to the derived model parameters.

description: DyRh4B4 has been known to crystallize in the primitive tetragonal (pt)-structure and to exhibit a ferromagnetic transition at 12 K, the highest magnetic transition temperature in the entire series of the RRh4B4 materials [1]. We show here that our silicon-added samples of the nominal composition DyRh4B4Si0.2 exhibit superconductivity below Tc ~ 4.5 K and an antiferromagnetic transition below TN ~ 2.7 K. The 12 K transition observed in the pt-DyRh4B4 is completely suppressed. Our annealed samples mainly consist of domains of the chemical composition DyRh3.9B4.2Si0.08. These domains contain two crystallographic phases belonging to the body-centred tetragonal (bct)-structure and the orthorhombic (o)-structure. We have reasons to suggest that superconductivity and antiferromagnetic ordering arise from bct- DyRh4B4 phase and, therefore, coexist below TN ~ 2.7 K.

Unfortunately, these comparisons are very sensitive to the random time shifts that may alter the signal delivered by the detectors. We present two fast algebraic methods to determine the value of the time shift and to enhance the reliability of the comparison to the basis signals.

Indians in Vancouver : an explorative overview of the process of social adaption and implications for research
Creators: name: Collins, Barbara Rose
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This is a study of the social adaptation of native Indian people in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia and the methodological implications for future research in this area. It was accomplished by reviewing the roots of the problem in history, exploring the reserve system, defining the problem as it now exists in Vancouver and outlining some programmes designed to facilitate this adaptation (in particular the Vancouver Indian Centre). In addition, it is an interview survey of the opinions of Indians and experts in Indian Affairs with respect to their perception of Indian problems and their suggestions for solution. The significance of this study is twofold. First of all, it illustrates that agencies which sponsor research may have a tendency to see its value only in pragmatic returns rather than in the contributions such research may make to generally improved understanding as a basis for sound planning. Secondly, it adds to our fund of knowledge of the urban Indian population and indicates possible future areas of research. The method consisted of highly unstructured interviews with the persons noted above. Whereas the content of the interviews with experts related primarily to the need for research, the areas of possible research, and the suggested solutions, those with Indian people focussed on specific topics such as reserves, types of schools, use of the native language, integration and amalgamation. It was suggested by officials and persons who have a great deal of contact with Indians that these were topics to which the Indian was particularly sensitive and that they were therefore not appropriate content for exploration after limited contact with subjects. We concluded that this is not necessarily true. These limited contacts with Indians who have come to the city also indicated that Indians are forsaking the reserves to seek opportunity and improved status in the urban community. In the process they are making valiant efforts to adjust to the white culture. This presupposes native strengths which should be recognized as a positive basis upon which to build welfare services. Because of the exploratory nature of this study, many of these strengths will have to be more positively identified, verified and correlated by future research. The main conclusion is that action-research in several specific areas would meet the needs and expectations of the Indians, the experts in Indian Affairs and the urban-White population.
Traumatic Injury of Major Cerebral Venous Sinuses Associated with Traumatic Brain Injury or Head and Neck Trauma: Analysis of National Trauma Data Bank

description: Background—The natural history and epidemiological aspects of traumatic injury of major cerebralvenous sinuses are not fully understood. We determined the prevalence of traumatic injury of major cere‐bral venous sinuses and impact on the outcome of patients with traumatic brain injury, and/or head andneck trauma.Methods—All the patients who were admitted with traumatic brain injury or head and neck trauma wereidentified by ICD-9-CM codes from the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB), using data files from 2009 to2010. NTDB represents one of the largest trauma databases and contains data from over 900 trauma centersacross the United States. Presence of thrombosis, intimal tear, or dissection (traumatic injury) of major cer‐ebral venous sinuses was identified in these patients by using Abbreviated Injury Scale predot codes.Admission Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, Injury Severity Score (ISS), In-hospital complications, andtreatment outcome were compared between patients with and without traumatic injury of major cerebralvenous sinuses.Results—A total of 76 patients were identified with traumatic injury of major cerebral venous sinusesamong 453,775 patients who had been admitted with head and neck trauma. The rate of penetrating injurywas higher among patients with traumatic injury of major cerebral venous sinuses (11.8% versus 2.5%, p =0.0001). The patients with traumatic injury of major cerebral venous sinuses had a significantly higher rateof intracranial hemorrhage in comparison to patients without traumatic injury of major cerebral venoussinuses. The odds of in-hospital mortality remained significantly higher for patients with traumatic injury ofmajor cerebral venous sinuses after adjusting for age, gender, admission GCS score, ISS injury type, andpresence of intracranial hemorrhage [odds ratio (OR): 6.929; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.337–35.96; p< 0.020]. The odds of discharge to nursing home remained higher for patients with traumatic injury ofmajor cerebral venous sinuses after adjusting for potential confounders (OR: 1.8401; 95% CI 1.18–2.85, p< 0.0065).Conclusion—Although infrequent, traumatic injury of major cerebral venous sinuses in head and necktrauma is associated with higher rates of in-hospital mortality and discharge to a nursing home.

description: We study AKLT models on locally tree-like lattices of fixed connectivity and find that they exhibit a variety of ground states depending upon the spin, coordination and global (graph) topology. We find a) quantum paramagnetic or valence bond solid ground states, b) critical and ordered Néel states on bipartite infinite Cayley trees and c) critical and ordered quantum vector spin glass states on random graphs of fixed connectivity. We argue, in consonance with a previous analysis, that all phases are characterized by gaps to local excitations. The spin glass states we report arise from random long ranged loops which frustrate Néel ordering despite the lack of randomness in the coupling strengths.

description: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is the most common cause of heart failure in children. Once heart failure is established, it becomes difficult for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body. Current treatments mainly focus on symptom management and don't address the root cause. Ultimately, patients require mechanical assistance or heart transplantation, but donor availability is limited. This thesis aims to create and analyse a model of DCM using patient-derived stem cells to understand its underlying mechanisms. It will ultimately pave the way to developing much-needed precision treatments for DCM patients.
Properties of Disks and Bulges of Spiral and Lenticular Galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

description: A bulge-disk decomposition is made for 737 spiral and lenticular galaxies drawn from a SDSS galaxy sample for which morphological types are estimated. We carry out the bulge-disk decomposition using the growth curve fitting method. It is found that bulge properties, effective radius, effective surface brightness, and also absolute magnitude, change systematically with the morphological sequence; from early to late types, the size becomes somewhat larger, and surface brightness and luminosity fainter. In contrast disks are nearly universal, their properties remaining similar among disk galaxies irrespective of detailed morphologies from S0 to Sc. While these tendencies were often discussed in previous studies, the present study confirms them based on a large homogeneous magnitude-limited field galaxy sample with morphological types estimated. The systematic change of bulge-to-total luminosity ratio, $B/T$, along the morphological sequence is therefore not caused by disks but mostly by bulges. It is also shown that elliptical galaxies and bulges of spiral galaxies are unlikely to be in a single sequence. We infer the stellar mass density (in units of the critical mass density) to be $Ω=$0.0021 for spheroids, i.e., elliptical galaxies plus bulges of spiral galaxies, and $Ω=$0.00081 for disks.

Subjects: subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: Due to the increased interactions between the sylvatic and urban cycles of Aedes aegypti life cycle, there has been an increase in the incidence of vector-borne diseases. The risk involved through the transmission of viruses like Dengue, Zika, Yellow-fever and Chikungunya calls for an effective control method for the deadly vector. The possibility of pesticide resistance and the costs involved in producing new pesticides have pushed Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) into prominence. However, current methods used to sterize insects for SIT are not highly efficient. This study tackles current issues in mosquito control by identifying and characterizing epigenetic regulators that could be used for larval control and genes that could be used for sterilization of adult males. RNanoparticle conjugated dsRNAs targeting genes coding for epigenetic regulators, Histone acetyltransferases, deacetylases, methylases and demethylases induced premature death of Ae. aegypti during late larval and early-mid pupal stages. The study also identified 34 testes-specific genes using a Concomitant evaluation of Distinctness and similarity (CDS) statistical test. Three genes (PAN1, CFAP299, H1) were knockedout using CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing method. The knockout males crossed with wild-type males caused a decrease in egg production (71.2% in PAN1, 81.9% in CFAP299 and 97.5% in H1) by females suggesting that these genes could be used to sterilize males for SIT.

Hall detection of time-reversal symmetry breaking under AC electric driv ing

description: In a four terminal sample microscopic time-reversibility leads to symmetry relations between resistance measurements where the role of current and voltage leads are exchanged. These reciprocity relations are a manifestation of general Onsager-Casimir symmetries in equilibrium systems. We investigate experimentally the validity of time reversal symmetry in a $GaAs/Ga_{1-x}Al_xAs$ Hall bar irradiated by an external AC field, at zero magnetic field. For inhomogeneous AC fields we find strong deviations from reciprocity relations and show that their origin can be understood from the the billiard model of a Hall junction. Under homogeneous irradiation the symmetry is more robust, indicating that time-reversal symmetry is preserved.

title: Adaptive Tracking Controller for Real-Time Hybrid Simulation
Creators: name: Palacio-Betancur, Alejandro
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: FOS: Civil engineering

description: Real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS) is a versatile and cost-effective testing method for studying the performance of structures subjected to dynamic loading. RTHS decomposes a structure into partitioned physical and numerical sub-structures that are coupled together through actuation systems. The sub-structuring approach is particularly attractive for studying large-scale problems since it allows for setting up large-scale structures with thousands of degrees of freedom in numerical simulations while specific components can be studied experimentally.The actuator dynamics generate an inevitable time delay in the overall system that affects the accuracy and stability of the simulation. Therefore, developing robust tracking control methodologies are necessary to mitigate these adverse effects. This research presents a state of the art review of tracking controllers for RTHS, and proposes a Conditional Adaptive Time Series (CATS) compensator based on the principles of the Adaptive Time Series compensator (ATS). The accuracy of the proposed controller is evaluated with a benchmark problem of a three-story building with a single degree of freedom (SDOF) in a realistic virtual RTHS (vRTHS). In addition, the accuracy of the proposed method is evaluated for seven numerical integration algorithms suitable for RTHS.

description: In minimal supergravity (mSugra), the neutrino sector is related to the slepton sector by means of the renormalization group equations. This opens a door to indirectly test the neutrino sector via measurements at the LHC. Concretely, for the simplest seesaw type-I, we present the correlations between seesaw parameters and ratio of stau lepton flavour violating (LFV) branching ratios. We find some simple, extreme scenarios for the unknown right-handed parameters, where ratios of LFV rates correlate with neutrino oscillation parameters. On the other hand, we scan the mSugra parameter space, for both seesaw type-I and II, to find regions where LFV stau decays can be maximized, while respecting low-energy experimental bounds. We estimate the expected number of events at the LHC for a sample luminosity of L = 100 fb^{-1}.
