description: A large variety of complex systems in ecology, climate science, biomedicine and engineering have been observed to exhibit tipping points, where the internal dynamical state of the system abruptly changes. For example, such critical transitions may result in the sudden change of ecological environments and climate conditions. Data and models suggest that detectable warning signs may precede some of these drastic events. This view is also corroborated by abstract mathematical theory for generic bifurcations in stochastic multi-scale systems. Whether the stochastic scaling laws used as warning signs are also present in social networks that anticipate a-priori {\it unknown} events in society is an exciting open problem, to which at present only highly speculative answers can be given. Here, we instead provide a first step towards tackling this formidable question by focusing on a-priori {\it known} events and analyzing a social network data set with a focus on classical variance and autocorrelation warning signs. Our results thus pertain to one absolutely fundamental question: Can the stochastic warning signs known from other areas also be detected in large-scale social network data? We answer this question affirmatively as we find that several a-priori known events are preceded by variance and autocorrelation growth. Our findings thus clearly establish the necessary starting point to further investigate the relation between abstract mathematical theory and various classes of critical transitions in social networks.

Sedimentology and Stratigraphy of the Upper Cretaceous Milk River Formation and Alderson Member (Lea Park Formation) in Southeast Alberta, Canada
Creators: Cowper, Anders WS
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

The Upper Cretaceous Milk River Formation-Lower Alderson Member zone in Southeast Alberta records deposition of a fine-grained siliciclastic delta-shoreface on the western margin of the Western Interior Seaway punctuated by significant episodes of shoreline transgression and regression. The variability of the internal stratigraphy of the Alderson-Milk River zone can be attributed to high-frequency transgressive-regressive cycles resulting from accretionary tectonics, which in turn caused fluctuations in available accommodation space. This vertical variability of relative sea level led to large lateral variability of the palaeoshoreline position in the Alderson-Milk River zone, which was exacerbated by a very low angle of subaqueous depositional dip which can be attributed to the fine-grained nature of the shoreline characterized by clay to very fine-grained sand. The goals of this project were: 1) to utilize the high density of wells and well data available in the study area to build a high-resolution sequence stratigraphic interpretation of the Alderson-Milk River zone; 2) to integrate this sequence stratigraphic framework with the ichnology and sedimentology of core in the study area to assess facies variability and 3) to provide a qualitative assessment as to the implications of the findings of this study for the exploration and production of hydrocarbons . In this study, petrophysical well logs and drill core from the study area within Townships 10-21, and Ranges 1-15W4M were used.

This study’s findings are as follows. 1) The Milk River-Alderson zone contains alternating highstand, lowstand and transgressive systems tracts resulting in net shoreface/deltaic sand deposition focusing in the southwest and northeast regions of the study area with a ~200km-wide bypass region in-between. 2) Four cycles of fall and rise in relative sea level of tens of metres occurred. 3) Lowstand shoreline-proximal facies identified by previous authors in the Alderson Member in Saskatchewan correlate to subaerial unconformities overprinted by transgressive ravinement surfaces within this study area. 4) Sedimentary facies in core display varying degrees of moderate to strong storm influence in prodeltaic settings. 5) Shoreline-proximal sedimentary facies within most of the study area have largely been removed by successive unconformities.

description: We study dark matter (DM) models in which there are two dark sector particles, $χ_1$ and $χ_2$, of near mass. In such models, co-annihilation of $χ_1$ and $χ_2$ may be the dominant process controlling the DM relic density during freezeout in the early universe. In this scenario, there is no significant contribution to direct and indirect detection signals, unless there exists an extreme degeneracy in the masses of the lightest dark sector particles. Therefore, relic density constraints and collider searches provide the most relevant information about these models. We consider Dirac fermion dark matter which couples to standard model (SM) particles via an effective operator. For the collider phenomenology, where an effective field theory may not be valid, we adopt a simple Z' model to provide an appropriate UV completion. We explore the interesting LHC signals that arise from the dark matter production process $pp \rightarrow \overline{χ_1} + χ_2 + \textrm{ jet}$, followed by the decay $χ_2 \rightarrow χ_1 + SM$.

Resisting Contextual Collapse:  How an Internet of Places (iPlaces) Supports Research Stations Operationalize FAIR and CARE (Talk in Progress)

This talk develops ideas for an abstract submitted to the 2024 Fall AGU Meeting. Research stations help scientists gather data at source and witness the resilience and fragility of our planet firsthand. Despite their role in understanding the complex physical, biogeochemical, ecological, social, and economic interactions that constitute place, station contributions and those of the local community often remain unrecognized. Metadata describing the samples/data they help originate is too easily stripped or lost as value is added downstream. To fight this “contextual collapse,” we present a new publishing platform (iPlaces) that empowers investigators to publish descriptions of their field projects (marker papers) in a station journal, providing each project with a landing page and a digital object identifier. Through the familiar manuscript review process (with the station director acting as editor), iPlaces introduces a way to layer ethical, legal, social, and scientific metadata to field research. Part of a collaborative ecosystem, iPlaces links and leverages a suite of online services (e.g., GEOME, ORCID, DataCite, iSamples, Local Contexts), promoting their uptake in place-based research. In this talk, I will focus on our recent work with Local Contexts, where iPlaces enables a station to issue ‘notices’ for a proposed project, thus initiating dialogue with local communities and combatting “parachute science”. Communities can then issue ‘labels’, a form of social metadata (e.g., Prior Informed Consent), to projects and their downstream field samples/data, helping to operationalize CARE as well as FAIR data principles. As data and samples move downstream, value-added products are linked automatically through the global open science infrastructure, ensuring the connection back to place (the station and its associated communities). iPlaces thus positions stations as crucial partners connecting nature and communities to the global research enterprise, supporting scientific discovery and environmental stewardship in the service of people, places, and planet.

description: We describe the fabrication and construction of a setup for creating lattices of magnetic microtraps for ultracold atoms on an atom chip. The lattice is defined by lithographic patterning of a permanent magnetic film. Patterned magnetic-film atom chips enable a large variety of trapping geometries over a wide range of length scales. We demonstrate an atom chip with a lattice constant of 10 $μ$m, suitable for experiments in quantum information science employing the interaction between atoms in highly-excited Rydberg energy levels. The active trapping region contains lattice regions with square and hexagonal symmetry, with the two regions joined at an interface. A structure of macroscopic wires, cut out of a silver foil, was mounted under the atom chip in order to load ultracold $^{87}$Rb atoms into the microtraps. We demonstrate loading of atoms into the square and hexagonal lattice sections simultaneously and show resolved imaging of individual lattice sites. Magnetic-film lattices on atom chips provide a versatile platform for experiments with ultracold atoms, in particular for quantum information science and quantum simulation.

Correlation of Subregional Hippocampal Thickness Abnormalities with Positron Emission Tomography Phosphorylated Tau Measurements in Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer's Disease
Creators: Siddique, Muhammad M
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia and is an emerging public health crisis with 150 million cases projected globally by 2050. Biomarkers are playing an emerging role in AD research - however, existing biomarkers have substantial limitations. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) holds advantages over existing biomarkers as it is non-invasive and does not involve exposure to ionizing radiation. This project aims to utilize MR images to measure subfield thickness throughout the hippocampal long axis using HippUnfold, a recently released open-source automated hippocampal segmentation software, and to correlate these measurements with Positron Emission Tomography (PET) phosphorylated tau (pTau), an extensively validated imaging biomarker for AD. High resolution (0.39x0.39x2mm) Hippocampal MR Images acquired by the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) were used in the analysis.  The right hemisphere cohort included control, n= 281, mild cognitive impairment (MCI, n =219), and AD, (n = 44) and the left hemisphere cohort included control, n= 278, mild cognitive impairment (MCI, n =205), and AD, (n = 41).   HippUnfold provided automated segmentation and computed thickness measurements for 5 hippocampal subfields: subiculum and cornu ammonis (CA) 1-4 throughout the entire hippocampal long axis. Previously acquired PET measurements for phosphorylated tau were downloaded from the ADNI database and correlated with thickness measurements along the hippocampal long axis using linear regression models. In our analyses - thickness measurements were strongly correlated with the degree of tau deposition quantified with tau PET. Specifically, we found significant cluster correlation (p < 0.05) throughout the long axis when comparing reduced hippocampal subfield thickness to PET phosphorylated tau Standard Uptake Volume Ratios (SUVRs). Furthermore, we identified regional specificity of maximal thickness abnormalities in our cohort in the body of the subiculum and CA1 in both hemispheres and the head region of CA2-4 in the right hemisphere.  Our data add to the previous scientific literature demonstrating subfield-specific hippocampal volume loss throughout the hippocampus in patients with AD.
Analysis of the Ichnology, Depositional Environment of the Middle Cambrian Mount Whyte Formation, Alberta, Canada
Creators: Shan, Chundi
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

The Mount Whyte Formation is a prominent unit of the Middle Cambrian period in the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB). This formation is widely distributed throughout the region and comprises both clastic and carbonate rock, deposited as part of a Middle Cambrian platform. In the Southern Rocky Mountains and Western Alberta Plains, the Mount Whyte Formation is situated unconformably on top of the Gog Group, whereas on the eastern side, it is found on top of the Basal sandstone.

The first study will specifically focus on the clastic portion of the Mount Whyte Formation and draw interpretations from the sedimentology and ichnology data available. Within these formations, several trace fossils have been identified, including Planolites, Cylindrichnus, Teichichnus, Skolithos, Arenicolites, Diplocraterion, and Rhizocorallium, with Planolites being the most representative ichnofossil present. An interpretation of the depositional environment of the Mount Whyte Formation is provided. The Mount Whyte Formation was formed by shallow marine deposits during the Middle Cambrian, which consists of shale, siltstone sandstone, interrupted by limestone beds. Based on the trace fossils suits, and sedimentological feature (lithology, grain size and structure), this formation was deposited in a zone from upper offshore to middle shoreface.

In a second study, three cores (1-6-38-15W4, 1-34-57-22W4 and 6-36-19-1W4) were logged to understand red bed distributions in these formations. Samples were subjected to both sedimentary and geochemical analyses. The former involved determining mineralogy, grain size, structure, sphericity, and ichnology data, which helped establish sedimentary facies. The resulting facies indicate a shoreface depositional environment. Meanwhile, a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was performed on the geochemical data, which included high-resolution measurements of redox-sensitive elements such as molybdenum (Mo) and vanadium (V) sampled at one-meter intervals. Analysis of process ichnology data, including bioturbation index, burrow diameter, diversity, and size diversity index, combined with the geochemical results, suggests that redox conditions did not exist during deposition in the Mount Whyte Formation. These findings indicate no clear correlation between redox-sensitive elements and bioturbation. As such, the formation of the red beds are ascribed to diagenesis.

description: The paper extends earlier results from \cite{SK}, \cite{SKS} about infinite-volume quantum bosonic states (FK-DLR states) to the case of multi-type particles with non-negative interactions. (An example is a quantum Widom--Rowlinson model.) Following the strategy from \cite{SK}, \cite{SKS}, we establish that, for the values of fugacity $z\in (0,1)$ and inverse temperature $β>0$, finite-volume Gibbs states form a compact family in the thermodynamic limit. Next, in dimension two we show that any limit-point state (an FK-DLR state in the terminology adopted in \cite{SK}, \cite{SKS}) is translation-invariant.

description: We present two efficient methods for implementing the Fredkin gate with atoms separately trapped in an array of three high-$Q$ coupled cavities. The first proposal is based on the resonant dynamics, which leads to a fast resonant interaction in a certain subspace while leaving others unchanged, and the second one utilizes a dispersive interaction such that the effective long-distance dipole-dipole interaction between two distributed target qubits is achieved by virtually excited process. Both schemes can achieve the standard form of the Fredkin gate in a single step without any subsequent single-qubit operation. The effects of decoherence on the performance of the gate are also analyzed in virtue of master equation, and the strictly numerical simulation reveals that the average fidelity of the quantum gate is high.

description: In this work we present a study of magnetars composed of hadronic and quark matter, under the influence of strong magnetic fields. We present our results for hadronic matter taking into account the effects that the inclusion of anomalous magnetic moment corrections may cause on the equations of state (EOS). Particle abundances are also presented and discussed. Additionally, the case of hybrid stars under the influence of strong magnetic fields is considered. We study the structure of hybrid stars based on the Maxwell condition (without a mixed phase), where the hadron phase is described by the non-linear Walecka model (NLW) and the quark phase by the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model (NJL). The EOS and the mass-radius relation for each case are calculated and discussed. We show that the recently observed high mass neutron stars can be described by both hadronic and hybrid equations of state subject to strong magnetic fields.

How Institutional Logics Influence Venture Growth: A Field Experiment with Tunisian Women Entrepreneurs
Creators: Heales, Kylie
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

Entrepreneurial training programs promoting women’s entrepreneurship in low- and middle- income countries command significant global attention and concomitant resources. Despite this broad investment, many ventures in these contexts fail to grow. Prior research suggests that institutionalized patterns of behaviours, guided by institutional logics, may cause this lack of growth. In the context of Tunisian female entrepreneurship, my research explores the effects of community and market logics on entrepreneurial growth outcomes. Using a field experiment, I demonstrate that institutional logics affect the growth aspirations of entrepreneurs through individual empowerment subject to emotions. This research has theoretical implications for institutional logics and entrepreneurial growth literatures. First, institutional logics affect entrepreneurial growth outcomes. Second, logics are processed by individuals’ cognition (empowerment) which is shaped by social interactions (emotions), contributing to research on the microfoundations of institutional logics. Furthermore, these microfoundations demonstrate mechanisms through which the constraining and enabling forces of institutions and agency manifest. Finally, cultural differences explain why logics do not have the expected effects we think they may in the promotion of Western neoliberal entrepreneurial training programs.

description: In a {\em locally recoverable} or {\em repairable} code, any symbol of a codeword can be recovered by reading only a small (constant) number of other symbols. The notion of local recoverability is important in the area of distributed storage where a most frequent error-event is a single storage node failure (erasure). A common objective is to repair the node by downloading data from as few other storage node as possible. In this paper, we bound the minimum distance of a code in terms of its length, size and locality. Unlike previous bounds, our bound follows from a significantly simple analysis and depends on the size of the alphabet being used. It turns out that the binary Simplex codes satisfy our bound with equality; hence the Simplex codes are the first example of a optimal binary locally repairable code family. We also provide achievability results based on random coding and concatenated codes that are numerically verified to be close to our bounds.

description: We study domain walls and vortices in chiral symmetry breaking in a QCD-like theory with N flavors in the chiral limit. If the axial anomaly is absent, there exist stable Abelian axial vortices winding around the spontaneously broken U(1)_A symmetry and non-Abelian axial vortices winding around both the U(1)_A and non-Abelian SU(N) chiral symmetries. In the presence of the axial anomaly term, metastable domain walls are present and Abelian axial vortices must be attached by N domain walls, forming domain wall junctions. We show that a domain wall junction decays into N non-Abelian vortices attached by domain walls, implying its metastability. We also show that domain walls decay through the quantum tunneling by creating a hole bounded by a closed non-Abelian vortex.

description: The anisotropic galaxy clustering on large scales provides us with a unique opportunity to probe into the gravity theory through the redshift-space distortions (RSDs) and the Alcock-Paczynski effect. Using the multipole power spectra up to hexadecapole (ell=4), of the Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) sample in the data release 7 (DR7) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey II (SDSS-II), we obtain simultaneous constraints on the linear growth rate f, angular diameter distance D_A, and Hubble parameter H at redshift z = 0.3. For this purpose, we first extensively examine the validity of a theoretical model for the non-linear RSDs using mock subhalo catalogues from N-body simulations, which are constructed to match with the observed multipole power spectra. We show that the input cosmological parameters of the simulations can be recovered well within the error bars by comparing the multipole power spectra of our theoretical model and those of the mock subhalo catalogues. We also carefully examine systematic uncertainties in our analysis by testing the dependence on prior assumption of the theoretical model and the range of wavenumbers to be used in the fitting. These investigations validate that the theoretical model can be safely applied to the real data. Thus, our results from the SDSS DR7 LRG sample are robust including systematics of theoretical modeling; f(z = 0.3) sigma_8(z = 0.3) =0.49+-0.08(stat.)+-0.04(sys.), D_A (z = 0.3) =968+-42(stat.)+-17(sys.)[Mpc], H (z = 0.3) =81.7+-5.0(stat.)+-3.7(sys.)[km/s/Mpc]. We believe that our method to constrain the cosmological parameters using subhaloes catalogues will be useful for more refined samples like CMASS and LOWZ catalogues in the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey in SDSS-III.

Elucidating the basis of poorly understood floral traits associated with pollination biology
Creators: Zenchyzen, Brandi
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

Flowering plants have evolved a stunning array of floral colours, scents, and structures, which act synchronously as cues for pollinators. Comprehensive investigations of the extraordinarily diverse floral features involved in plant-pollinator interactions requires expansion of the comparative landscape beyond the traditional model organisms. Cleomaceae (Brassicales) is an ideal focal clade for such studies as it exhibits substantial floral variation. I explore floral features related to pollination biology in an evolutionary developmental context by integrating developmental morphology, chemical characterizations, and comparative transcriptomics of Cleomaceae. First, I describe and compare floral nectaries, the structures responsible for nectar secretion, within and among Cleomaceae genera. I reveal the substantive diversity in form with dramatic variation in floral nectary size and shape across Cleomaceae, and introduce a modified fast green and safranin O staining protocol to yield vibrant histological sections without highly hazardous chemicals. Second, I present the first in vivo colour images of ultraviolet-fluorescent nectar. Ultraviolet radiation induces vibrant blue fluorescence of Cleomaceae nectar, a crucial reward for pollinators. Next, I shift attention to Gynandropsis gynandra (Cleomaceae), an underutilized crop native to Africa and Asia. I characterize and compare the floral fragrance of African and Asian accessions of G. gynandra (Cleomaceae) and examine the floral morphology and gene expression patterns associated with scent production and emission. I discover drastically different floral scent profiles between the African and Asian accessions and identify the stalk-like floral structures as those putatively involved in olfactory signalling. Lastly, I focus on G. gynandra’s androgynophore, a stalk-like structure that elevates the reproductive organs of the flower, to provide a detailed description throughout development, examine global gene expression patterns, and identify candidate elongation genes. I show that the radially symmetric androgynophore of G. gynandra rapidly lengthens primarily via cell elongation and is characterized by complex gene expression patterns including differential expression of floral organ identity genes and genes associated with organ development and growth in Arabidopsis thaliana. Overall, my research contributes to our understanding of floral features involved in plant-pollinator interactions by exploring the diversity of floral nectaries and exquisite nectar across Cleomaceae. It also provides a more holistic picture of G. gynandra’s flower from the unique floral structures (i.e., inconspicuous nectary and androgynophore) to the geographically variable floral scent.

Energy optimization of a residential building using occupancy prediction via sensor fusion and machine learning algorithms
Creators: Heidarifar, Hamed
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

Occupancy-based control systems for floor heating can lead to energy saving in a residential building. This study focuses on the energy consumption by space heating system in a half-duplex residential house located in Edmonton, Alberta. In the first part, a sensor fusion model was designed to predict the occupancy status in the residential building. To predict the occupancy, data including room temperature, relative humidity, CO2 concentration, and day of the week were collected. The actual occupancy status of the room was collected using a Passive Infrared (PIR) motion sensor and the data sheets filled by the occupants. The study considered four different machine learning algorithms including K-nearest neighbors (KNN), Gaussian Support Vector Machine (SVM), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Decision Tree (DT)

to predict the state of occupancy for a room. The results showed KNN method outperforms the other methods by reaching the Geometric Mean (GM) accuracy of

92% for occupancy prediction.

In the second part, a 3D energy model was developed for the entire house. The energy consumption was simulated with and without considering occupancy information

using EnergyPlus software. The actual energy consumption of the house was obtained from the gas meter. Using the developed model and methods of machine learning, a virtual sensor was proposed to define the thermostat temperature according to the desired temperature in the occupied rooms to reduce energy consumption and improve the comfort level for the occupants. The results showed 9.5% to 30.7% energy saving, depending on the occupancy-based control methods. In addition, the results of the operating analysis showed a possible reduction of the yearly floor heating cost of the testbed up to 329 CAD which is about 30% reduction in the yearly heating cost of the building. Overall, this study quantized the importance of considering

occupancy information in reducing energy consumption in residential buildings, while maintaining or improving the occupants’ comfort.
Development of a novel light-frame wood panelized roof system
Creators: Islam, Md Saiful
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

Panelized fabrication of light-frame wood buildings has higher productivity than the traditional stick-built method. However, the roof production process is inefficient due to the structural system and construction method. This research proposes a novel roof system to improve the productivity of the panelized construction process for light-frame wood residential building fabrication. The system includes several roof components, such as ceiling frames, roof panels and support walls designed to comply with structural requirements, manufacturing efficiency, and on-site installation factors. A case study of the gable roof of a two-story building demonstrates the implementation of this system. Ceiling frames can be fabricated using three options in the current offsite setting. Meanwhile, roof panels can be produced in the wall line without altering existing processes. The design requirements for the roof panels were determined based on nail connection tests and finite element analysis. The most critical factor for successfully implementing this panelized roof system is efficient connections. Therefore, self-tapping screws were explored to connect the roof assembly components. An experimental study on timber screw connections was conducted to determine the short-term mechanical performance of five different connection configurations. This data was used to develop a numerical model of the novel roof assembly. The study also invented a novel apex connection to facilitate a folding mechanism in the panelized light-frame wood roof system. Proof of concept of the proposed connection assembly was presented by a 3D printout of the developed connection. Following the steel design and timber codes, the initial estimation of different parameters, such as the pinhole diameter and number of screws, was established. A detailed finite element analysis was performed to determine the connection strength requirement for different load case scenarios. The analysis and 3D printout demonstrated that the proposed connection could provide the required folding mechanism before roof installation and withstand the load in the unfolding state at service. Finally, a three-dimensional finite-element analysis of the proposed light-frame wood panelized gable roof was performed. Macro elements representing the major roof components were developed using analytical models of the diaphragm and shear wall. The most critical load response of the panelized roof was obtained by considering the governing load cases, including the partial load case for snow load. The load path analysis revealed that the panelized roof had a two-way load distribution due to the deep beam action of the support wall. The study also revealed the replicability of this holistic approach to other offsite facilities. A feasibility study shows that this roof system could be a potential solution to building homes offsite for remote locations such as Northern Canada.

description: If new TeV scale particles are discovered, it will be important to determine their width. There is, however, a problematic region, where the width is too small to be determined directly, and too large to generate a secondary vertex. For a collection of colored, spin polarized particles, hadronization depolarizes the particles prior to their decay. The amount of depolarization can be used to probe the lifetime in the problematic region. In this paper we apply this method to a realistic scenario of a top-like particle that can be produced at the LHC. We study how depolarization affects the angular distributions of the decay products and derive an equation for the distributions that is sensitive to the lifetime.

An Examination of the Cascading Resilience Model and Family Resilience
Creators: Brassard, Leah
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

The concept of resilience has been widely studied for decades. Recent streams of resilience research have focused on relational and environmental factors important for understanding risk and resilience beyond individual traits (Masten, Lucke, Nelson & Stallworthy, 2021). This systems perspective of resilience is critical when considering family resilience. Family resilience is the ability of a family, as a functional system, to withstand and overcome adversities and stress (Walsh, 2016a). Transactional processes among family members, as well as challenges faced by

individual members of the family, impact the functioning of the family as a unit. Around the world, parenting programs are being developed and employed to promote positive parenting techniques and improve child well-being and family outcomes. The Cascading Resilience Model (CRM; Doty, Davis, & Arditti, 2017) is a theoretical model explaining how parenting programs

can create cascades of resilience that spill over into a variety of unintended systems, including the family system. This model highlights theories such as Barbara Fredrickson’s broaden and

build theory (2004), and social capital theory, as mechanisms by which parental skills create cascades of resilience. Despite the CRM’s strong theoretical underpinnings, it has yet to be empirically tested with a community sample. Therefore, the present study tests the CRM’s proposed pathways for how parenting qualities can lead to family resilience. Self-report data

from 295 self-identified parents was collected on parental self-efficacy, positive emotions, coping capacity, social supports, and family resilience. Structural equation modelling was used to test the CRM, and showed that the proposed pathways of the CRM did not fully explain the data collected. However, adding a direct pathway from parental positive emotion to family resilience significantly improved model fit, highlighting the importance of considering parental emotion in interventions to improve family resilience.

description: We investigate a simple extension of the Standard Model where the baryon number is a local gauge symmetry and the cold dark matter in the Universe can be described by a fermionic field with baryon number. We refer to this scenario as "Baryonic Dark Matter''. The stability of the dark matter candidate is a natural consequence of the spontaneous breaking of baryon number at the low scale and there is no need to impose an extra discrete symmetry. The constraints from the relic density and the predictions for direct detection are discussed in detail. We briefly discuss the testability of this model using the correlation between the Large Hadron Collider data and possible results from dark matter experiments.
