description: X-ray binaries are known to show state transitions related to accretion rate changes which are often accompanied with dramatic changes in the jet emission. However, it is not clear whether this characteristics of stellar-mass black hole systems can be scaled up to the accretion disk of active galactic nuclei. The Seyfert 1 galaxy, KUG 1141+371 has been showing a steadily increasing X-ray flux since 2007, and exhibited variability behaviour similar to the state transitions observed in X-ray binaries. It was hypothesised to undergo a rapid boost of mass accretion. If the X-ray binary analogy holds then the appearance of jet emission can also be expected in KUG 1141+371. While the source was not detected in the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty-centimeters in 1994, it appears in the VLA Sky Survey in 2019 and at 22 GHz in a VLA observation in 2018 at mJy flux density level. Our VLBI observations revealed a compact, flat-spectrum radio feature. Its high brightness temperature indicates the radio emission originates from an AGN.

subject: Oil and Gas

description: Alberta oil and gas mega projects are experiencing cost overruns of up to 100 percent. Large cost overruns have created an interest in shifting to lump sum contracting. The objective of this study is to investigate the possibility of using lump sum contracting to replace the cost reimbursable contracting currently used on oil and gas projects in Alberta, through identifying industry perceptions of, and the risks associated with this contract shift. Two extensive surveys were conducted with experienced industry professionals. Collected data was statistically analyzed to form a set of conclusions and recommendations. The study provides an understanding of current contracting trends in the Alberta oil and gas industry, and found that there is interest in using lump sum contracts. The perceived risks to lump sum project performance, and proposed mitigations were identified. The study also identified areas where the perceptions of Operating, Engineering, and Construction companies were not aligned and determined that industry practitioners believe that, locally, there is a lack of experience and competency around the management of lump sum projects.

The systematic dynamics of guru yoga in euro-north american gelug-pa formations

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Religion
subject: guru
subject: lama
subject: buddhism

description: This thesis explores the adaptation of the Tibetan Buddhist guru/disciple relation by Euro-North American communities and argues that its praxis is that of a self-motivated disciple’s devotion to a perceptibly selfless guru. Chapter one provides a reception genealogy of the Tibetan guru/disciple relation in Western scholarship, followed by historical-anthropological descriptions of its practice reception in both Tibetan and Euro-North American formations. Through a structural analysis of the Gelug-pa school’s primary ‘guru yoga’ text, Blo-bzang chos-kyi rgyal-mtshan’s Bla-ma mchod-pa, chapter two argues that the ritual’s basic definition is the guru/disciple relation mediated by the gift and transvalued through the principle of emptiness. Through structural analyses of anthropological data, chapter three identifies the Euro-North American guru/disciple hierarchy as Tibetan monk teacher/non-Tibetan student, in which the guru’s authority derives from his perceived transcendence of what Anthony Giddens calls the reflexive project of the self.
Scenography of MK Woyzeck

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This paper describes and discusses the lighting, video, and scenery design of MK Woyzeck, presented at the Frederic Wood Theatre from October 1st to 10th 2009. The design will be presented primarily through a series of photographs taken by various photographers at several points during the design, cueing, and performance phases of the production. Emphasis will be placed on the use of digital projectors to provide full illumination of the actors, referred to as Digital Video Illumination (DVI), as well as the role of the projection/set/lighting designer as an active deviser within the rehearsal process. Chapter 1 will provide a brief overview of the production concept for the piece and it’s impact on design strategies. Chapter 2 illustrates the overall execution of the design through a collection of photographs with accompanying captions describing the intention behind each of the cues depicted. In a similar fashion, Chapter 3 describes some of the advantages and challenges inherent within the DVI system and the particular projection instruments employed in this production. Chapter 4 is devoted to the actual mechanics of DVI cue construction. These are illustrated through the description of five sample cues representative of the major ways in which DVI was applied to this production. Chapter 5 summarizes the outcomes of this experimental design process through a brief conclusion.

description: This article presents the design and real-time implementation of an optimal controller for precise steering control of a remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV). A PI controller is investigated to achieve the desired steering performance. The gain parameters of the controller are tuned using the genetic algorithm (GA). The experimental response corresponding to the step waveform for the GA is obtained. A root-locus-tuned PI controller alongside a simulated-annealing-based PI controller (SAPI) is used to benchmark the response characteristics such as overshoot, peak time, and settling time. The experimental findings indicate that GAPI provides considerably better performance than SAPI and the root-locus-tuned controller.

description: We consider an ensemble of spherical colloidal particles immersed in a near-critical solvent such as a binary liquid mixture close to its critical demixing point. The emerging long-ranged fluctuations of the corresponding order parameter of the solvent drive the divergence of the correlation length. Spatial confinements of these critical fluctuations by colloidal solute particles, acting as cavities in the fluctuating medium, restrict and modify the fluctuation spectrum in a way which depends on their relative configuration. This results in effective, so-called critical Casimir forces (CCFs) acting on the confining surfaces. Using the available knowledge about CCFs we study the structure and stability of such colloidal suspensions by employing an approach in terms of effective, one-component colloidal systems. Applying the approximation of pairwise additive CCFs we calculate the radial distribution function of the colloids, which is experimentally accessible. We analyze colloidal aggregation due to CCFs and thus allude to previous experimental studies which are still under debate
Stress Measurements of Localized Dynamic Loading in the Mountain Snow Cover

Subjects: subject: Applied Mechanics
subject: Avalanches
subject: Snow
subject: Mechanics

description: In the majority of fatal snow avalanches, skiers, and snowmobilers apply load to the snow cover which triggers the initial failure in a weak layer. Understanding how the stress from skiing and snowmobiling transmit through the snow cover can help people avoid situations where they can trigger avalanches. In this study, capacitive sensors were used to measure this stress within the mountain snow cover. At specific depths, snowmobiles added more stress than skiers, thus increasing the probability of initiating a fracture in a weak layer and releasing a slab avalanche. The increased penetration depth of snowmobiles into the snow cover compared to skiers was the primary reason for this increase in stress. The upper snow cover was quantified using a bridging index which is the uniform hand hardness index of a particular layer in the snow cover multiplied by the thickness of that layer. The added stress was then related to localized slope stability using stability indices. Bridging index thresholds of 130 to 190 for skiers and 160 to 260 for snowmobiles yielded stability index values greater than 1.5, thus indicting the transitions from an unstable snow cover to a more stable snow cover. Stress measurements were presented to illustrate the difference between the loading response of an isolated column in common slope stability tests and loading a largely undisturbed snow cover by skiers or snowmobilers. Adjusting the depth of stability tests to account for the penetration depth of snowmobiles loaded the snow cover more similarly to the loading applied by snowmobiling on the undisturbed snow. The stress profile in stability tests matched skiing and snowmobiling more closely when the snow cover was softer compared to when the snow cover was harder. Finally, in the extended column test, a modern snow stability test, stress was only measurable directly below the dynamic loading and not on the opposite side of the column. The major and novel findings of this research are: 1) the first stress measurements from common stability tests, 2) the first description of how stress transmits through a snow cover quantified by the bridging index, and 3) the first stress measurements beneath snowmobiles.
The economic benefits of ecosystem-based marine recreation : implications for management and policy

Year: 2010

description: Even as global fisheries are in decline, participation in ecosystem-based marine recreational activities (MRAs), defined here as recreational fishing, whale watching and diving, has increased around the world, adding a new dimension to human use of the marine ecosystem and another good reason to strengthen marine ecosystem management measures worldwide. After compiling available data for maritime countries, a meta-analysis was used to estimate the yearly global benefits of the largest MRAs. Results suggest that 121 million people a year participate in MRAs, generating 47 billion USD in expenditures and supporting one million jobs. Aside from offering the first global estimation of socioeconomic benefits from MRAs, this work provides insights on their drivers of participation and possible ecological impacts. In the case of whale watching, potential benefits are estimated for maritime countries that do not currently engage in this industry based on ecological and socio-economic criteria. Results suggest that whale watching could generate an additional 413 million USD in yearly revenue, supporting 5,700 additional jobs; this would bring the total potential benefits from the global whale watching industry to over 2.5 billion USD in yearly revenue, supporting 19,000 jobs. Recreational fishing is the largest MRA in the world, and can be a vital component of regional economies. Using available fisheries and ecosystem data, an Ecopath model was used to explore the ecological and economic effects of specific fisheries management measures in Baja California Sur, Mexico, particularly regarding longlining effort reductions and billfish bycatch. Results suggest that currently mandated policies will have little effect on marlin abundance in the area. The effects of ecosystem dynamics in an already overfished system must not be overlooked, as they can negate or even reverse desired outcomes from management. All results are discussed from an economic and conservation policy perspective, with emphasis on potential benefits and limitations.

Early Metal Metallocenium Hydridoborate Catalysts for Carbon Dioxide Hydrosilation
Creators: name: Chiu, Frederick Sin Nang
Publisher: name: Graduate Studies
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Chemistry--Inorganic
subject: Organometallic Chemistry

description: A series of permethylmetallocenium(III) hydridotris(pentafluorophenyl)borate complexes was synthesized and investigated as CO2 hydrosilation catalysts in tandem with a B(C6F5)3 co-catalyst. The increasing d electron count across the series of metals studied (ScIII: d0, TiIII: d1, VIII: d2) gave rise to contrasting kinetic behaviours as catalysts. The Sc- and Ti-based systems demonstrated sigmoidal hydrosilane consumption characteristic of two operative catalytic pathways. In particular, the activation of the secondary, more active catalytic pathway was attributed to the build-up of the hydrosilation intermediate, bis(triethylsiloxy)methane in the initial stages of the reaction. This acetal species is capable of binding to the ScIII and TiIII centers, resulting in the observed reactivity. In the VIII system, the electronic configuration precludes coordination of this acetal intermediate, resulting in the operation of only the initial pathway. In addition, carbonyl poisoning of the VIII center allowed for insights to the role of the metal catalyst in the dual catalyst system.
The health and safety of children living in marijuana grow operations : a child welfare perspective
Creators: name: Douglas, Janet
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This dissertation examines the health and safety of children found living in marijuana grow operations in two key regions in British Columbia, and how child protection workers have been drawn into this phenomenon. Data was collected on the physical and health characteristics of the grow operation homes, as well as on the prescription drug history of children living in grow operations and a comparison group of children from the same geographic areas. In addition, three document sources were examined as they relate to marijuana grow operations, and in particular, the child welfare response: Hansard and legislative debate surrounding Alberta’s Drug-endangered Children Act (2006); the British Columbia Ministry for Children and Family Development Fact Sheets: Child Protection Issues and Illegal Drug Manufacturing; and relevant articles published in select newspapers between 2004 and 2006. This study found that there was no significant difference between the health of the children found living in marijuana grow operations and the comparison group of children, based on their reported health at the time, and their prescription history. The document analysis revealed sharp distinctions between the legislation and policies that direct social work practice with grow operations in British Columbia and the neighbouring province of Alberta. Finally, although concerns about the health and safety of children living in grow operations legitimizes social work intervention, these concerns do not appear to be key factors in the social work decisions to remove children from their parents’ care.

description: We present an implementation in Sage and overview of several algorithms for integer lattices. The first builds an isometry between lattices by considering partial maps. It also determines whether two lattices are nonisometric by exhaustively searching all possible maps. Using this algorithm, we give a method for computing the automorphism group of a lattice using strong generating sets. These both make use of the set of small vectors of a lattice, which can be enumerated using the last algorithm we present. We discuss the use of determining isometry classes as part of computing the Smith-Minkowski-Siegel mass formula.

Bose-Hubbard model for universal quantum walk-based computation

description: We present a novel scheme for universal quantum computation based on spinless interacting bosonic quantum walkers on a piecewise-constant graph, described by the two-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model. Arbitrary X and Z rotations are constructed, as well as an entangling two-qubit CPHASE gate and a SWAP gate. Quantum information is encoded in the positions of the walkers on the graph, as in previous quantum walk-based proposals for universal quantum computation, though in contrast to prior schemes this proposal requires a number of vertices only linear in the number of encoded qubits. It allows single-qubit measurements to be performed in a straightforward manner with localized operators, and can make use of existing quantum error correcting codes either directly within the universal gate set provided, or by extending the lattice to a third dimension. We present an intuitive example of a logical encoding to implement the seven-qubit Steane code. Finally, an implementation in terms of ultracold atoms in optical lattices is suggested.

On the Syntheses and Reactions of Boroles and Boraindenes

description: Highly Lewis-acidic boranes are an important class of compounds in both fundamental and applied chemistry. Recently, a sub-class of boranes known as boroles – five-membered unsaturated boracycles – has begun to receive attention due to the interesting properties afforded by the anti-aromatic nature of these compounds. We synthesized and characterized a new class of boroles wherein the borole ring is fused to a benzene ring. These “boraindenes” were found to be highly Lewis acidic by the Gutmann-Beckett method, even more so than the ubiquitous tris-pentafluorophenylborane. Structural and computational evidence supports the notion that these compounds are anti-aromatic, which likely contributes to their Lewis acidity. A series of six derivatives was synthesized, and it was found that they had only marginally different absorption spectra. Previous work in our group showed that perproteo and perfluoro-pentaphenylboroles are capable of irreversibly activating dihydrogen. The mechanism of this reaction was investigated both experimentally and computationally, and it was found that the reaction was bimolecular in nature. Furthermore, the reaction involves the formation of a transient dihydrogen-borole adduct which quickly adds dihydrogen across the boron-carbon bond. A 1,2-hydride shift can lead to a cisoid product, and cleavage of the boron-carbon bond results in a ring-opened intermediate that ultimately rearranges to give the transoid product; independent synthesis of this ring-opened intermediate confirms that it does indeed give the transoid product. The most Lewis acidic of the boraindenes, perfluoro-1,2,3-triphenyl-1-boraindene, appears to react reversibly with dihydrogen gas. This compound has proven capable of mediating the hydrogenation of cyclohexene, though its precise role remains obscured in part due to the fact that it reacts with cyclohexene itself. Perfluoro-1,2,3-triphenyl-1-boraindene was found to reversibly form an adduct with triethylsilane in solution, an adduct that was also isolated in the solid state. The solution-phase equilibrium was characterized by a titration followed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, which revealed that the equilibrium is nearly thermoneutral at room temperature but favours adduct formation at lower temperatures. Infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis on solid samples confirm that the adduct is formed via a three-centre, two-electron silicon-hydrogen-boron bonding interaction. Perfluoro-1,2,3-triphenyl-1-boraindene was also found to be an active catalyst for the hydrosilation of olefins.

description: The probability that a particle will stick to a surface is fundamental to a variety of processes in surface science, including catalysis, epitaxial growth, and corrosion. At ultralow energies, how particles scatter or stick to a surface affects the performance of atomic clocks, matter-wave interferometers, atom chips and other quantum information processing devices. In this energy regime, the sticking probability is influenced by a distinctly quantum mechanical effect: quantum reflection, a result of matter wave coherence, suppresses the probability of finding the particle near the surface and reduces the sticking probability. We find that another quantum effect can occur, further shaping the sticking probability: the orthogonality catastrophe, a result of the change in the quantum ground state of the surface in the presence of a particle, can dramatically alter the probability for quantum sticking and create a superreflective surface at low energies.

description: There is a need for practical tools to facilitate exercise, an important component of type 2 diabetes (T2D) management. Thesis objectives included: 1) determine the accuracy of the MyWellness Key (MWK) accelerometer in people with T2D; 2) complete a systematic review and meta-analysis of resistance band training (RBT) in T2D; and 3) propose and initiate a randomized exercise trial utilizing MWK accelerometers and RBT. The MWK accelerometer was validated against objective treadmill testing and physical activity diaries in people with T2D (n=35). The waist-mounted MWK was quite accurate at determining exercise volume and discriminating between exercise intensities, however the bra MWK consistently underestimated exercise intensity. The meta-analysis of seven trials showed that RBT non-significantly improved glycemic control and significantly increased strength in the lower, but not the upper, extremities in people with T2D.
Prolactin as an Adjunct to Anti-CD3 Type I Diabetes Therapy

Publisher: name: Graduate Studies

Subjects: subject: Biochemistry

subject: type I diabetes
subject: anti-CD3

description: Type I diabetes is caused by autoimmune destruction of ß-cells. While immune therapy halts autoimmune attack on ß-cells, the residual ß-cell number is often insufficient for euglycemia. We hypothesize that addition of a growth factor to increase β-cell number will be more effective at reversing hyperglycemia than immune therapy alone. We chose prolactin because it stimulates ß-cell proliferation and insulin synthesis in vivo. In this study, we found that diabetic NOD mice treated with anti-CD3 and prolactin achieved a higher diabetes remission rate in comparison to those treated with anti-CD3 alone. Mice treated with anti-CD3 and prolactin had higher pancreatic insulin content and secreted more insulin during a glucose tolerance test. They had higher ß-cell mass and number due to a higher ß-cell proliferation rate. Furthermore, the anti-CD3 and prolactin treated group had a higher proportion of insulitis-free islets. We found no evidence of ß-cell neogenesis and even the addition of exendin-4, a growth factor analagoue thought to be able to induce β-cell neogenesis, failed to induce β-cell neogenesis. Therefore, this study suggests that the paradigm of using a growth factor to stimulate ß-cell proliferation and expand ß-cell number in conjunction with immune therapy is potentially an effective strategy to treat type 1 diabetes.

description: Many asymptotic giant branch (AGB) and supergiant stars exhibit extended detached shells in the far-infrared, resembling rings or arcs. These structures have long been interpreted as the bow shock formed in the interface between the stellar wind and the interstellar medium, the astrosphere. To date, only a few AGB stars have been observed showing an extended shell in the ultraviolet: the cometary tail drifting away from $o$ Ceti, and a bubble around IRC+10216, CIT6, and U Hya. This paper describes a search of UV extended shells around AGB stars using archival GALEX far-UV images. After inspecting visually 282 GALEX images, we identified the fourth discovery of a UV bubble around the AGB star R Dor. The bubble is seen as a 26'x29' ring, corresponding to an actual diameter of 0.41x0.46 parsec$^2$. The mass of the thin UV bubble is estimated to be $\simeq$0.003 $M_{\odot}$. The morphological asymmetry (less than $\sim 20$\%) and brightness variations of this shell are uncorrelated with the stellar proper motion and thus they can rather be ascribed to inhomogeneities in the ISM. Archival \emph{IRAS} 60 and 100$μ$m images reveal that the bubble is filled with cold (i.e. < 32 K) dust. All UV bubbles known to date are limited to be within a distance < 350 pc and at high Galactic latitudes (|b| > 35 degree), which suggests that their detection is hampered in most cases by the strong UV interstellar extinction.

description: We present evidence for the existence of substructure in the "relaxed appearing" cold front clusters Abell 2142 and RXJ1720.1+2638. The detection of these substructures was made possible by comprehensive multi-object optical spectroscopy obtained with the Hectospec and DEep Imaging Multi-Object Spectrograph instruments on the 6.5m MMT and 10m Keck II telescope, respectively. These observations produced 956 and 400 spectroscopically confirmed cluster members within a projected radius of 3Mpc from the centers of Abell 2142 and RXJ1720.1+2638, respectively. The substructure manifests itself as local peaks in the spatial distribution of member galaxies and also as regions of localized velocity substructure. For both Abell 2142 and RXJ1720.1+2638, we identify group-scale substructures which, when considering the morphology of the cold fronts and the time since pericentric passage of a perturber estimated from the cold front radii, could plausibly have perturbed the cluster cores and generated the cold fronts observed in Chandra images. The results presented here are consistent with cold fronts being the result of merger activity and with cold fronts in relaxed appearing clusters being due to minor merger activity.

description: We have investigated the time-evolution of a free particle in interaction with a phonon thermal bath, using the tight-binding approach. A dissipative quantum walk can be defined and many important non-equilibrium decoherence properties can be investigated analytically. The non-equilibrium statistics of a pure initial state have been studied. Our theoretical results indicate that the evolving wave-packet shows the suppression of Anderson's boundaries (ballistic peaks) by the presence of dissipation. Many important relaxation properties can be studied quantitatively, such as von Neumann's entropy and quantum purity. In addition, we have studied Wigner's function. The time-dependent behavior of the quantum entanglement between a free particle -in the lattice- and the phonon bath has been characterized analytically. This result strongly suggests the non-trivial time-dependence of the off-diagonal elements of the reduced density matrix of the system. We have established a connection between the quantum decoherence and the dissipative parameter arising from interaction with the phonon bath. The time-dependent behavior of quantum correlations has also been pointed out, showing continuous transition from quantum random walk to classical random walk, when dissipation increases.

description: Why is governance so central to sustainability transitions? A superficial answer to this question would argue that these transitions are about the policies for and the politics of a significant move towards a resilient and sustainable society. This answer correctly emphasizes the important interplay between the State, civil society and the market in formulating appropriate measures (policies for transitions) as well as the importance of bargaining power when it comes to negotiating between alternative trajectories (politics of transition). But on a deeper and arguably more relevant level, the reason why governance constitutes both a bottleneck and a key to societal transitions is that the latter will involve a much broader, complex and fuzzier set of interventions than merely formulating adequate policies: changing the current social-ecological regimes in European cities and regions will require transcending the State-civil society-market triangle and overcome seemingly insurmountable barriers, powerful vested interests, incommensurate metrics, dazzling complexities and a multiplicity of agencies: in practice, the State is not a unified actor but includes both political and administrative agencies; civil society is also diverse and contains potentially antagonistic interests; finally, the market is a place where radically different players such as multinational corporations and small family business interact. Dealing with such an intricate problem as social-ecological transitions therefore requires new ways of approaching societal problems, forging new politico-economic alliances and reframing the terms of the debate – and many of the innovations necessary to achieve this are likely to be social and related to governance rather than technological. So how can we govern the adaption of European cities and regions to the urgency of the current social, environmental and economic crises? How can we make extant governance models more adaptive so as to ensure sustainable and resilient transitions rather than short-run solutions?

Development of tissue directionality-based measures of demyelination and remyelination for multiple sclerosis using structure tensor analysis

description: Changes in myelin integrity are key characteristics of many diseases including multiple sclerosis. The goal of this project was to evaluate the feasibility of structure tensor analysis, a potentially new measure of tissue directionality, to measure myelin health. Using histology and MR images obtained from a lysolecithin model of demyelination and remyelination, I quantified the coherency (anisotropy), energy (organization), and entropy (heterogeneity) of white matter in mouse spinal cords with different myelin integrity and found that demyelinated tissue had lower coherency and energy but higher entropy than tissues with intact myelin. I also tested the robustness of this technique to the change in image size in MRI and showed its practical feasibility. My findings suggest that tissues with better myelin integrity have greater alignment and anisotropy. Structure tensor analysis may have the potential to evaluate de- and re-myelination in patients with multiple sclerosis and similar disorders. Further validation is warranted.

description: Introduction:
 Severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has become a global health problem. Co-infection of SARS-CoV-2 and other common respiratory viruses in symptomatic patients has been reported to be significantly common in the United States. To the best of our knowledge, there is no published evidence of SARS-CoV-2 co-infection reported in Malaysia. We performed a study on samples of patients with acute respiratory illnesses where the clinical symptoms are indistinguishable between both Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) and other common respiratory virus infections to determine the extent of co-infections of SARS-CoV-2 with other common respiratory viruses. Methodology:
 Archived samples from patients with respiratory symptoms to Sungai Buloh Hospital from February 2020 to August 2020 were screened for COVID-19 using Allplex SARS-CoV-2 Assay as well as Allplex RV Essential Assay for detection of Influenza Virus (Flu A and B), Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), Metapneumovirus (MPV), Adenovirus (AdV), Rhinovirus (HRV) and Parainfluenza Virus (PIV) using real-time PCR (RT-PCR). Results:
 A total of 354 samples were tested of which 32.2% (114/354) were positive for SARS-CoV-2 and 6.8% (24/354) were positive for HRV, AdV, MPV and RSV. The rate of SARS-CoV-2 co-infection with other common respiratory viruses was 2.2% (7/308), where the patients are all males aged between 4 to 27 years old with cough and fever as the common symptoms. HRV is the most common other respiratory virus infection which accounts for 71.4% (5/7) of co-infection with SARS-CoV-2. Conclusion:
 The rate of SARS-CoV-2 co-infection with other common respiratory viruses was quite low. However, SARS-CoV-2 infection during the COVID-19 pandemic could not rule out co-infection with other respiratory viruses. Disclaimer: Abstract text might vary slightly from what is displayed in the e-poster.
