description: Though a small part of the body, the human hand is complex and remarkably versatile and multipurpose. Much work has gone into understanding the hand, such as understanding the physical capabilities of the human hand, how humans develop manipulation skills throughout the lifespan, how people translate task requirements into grasping strategy, and so on. Despite that, human manipulation is still not well understood. For example, how many grasps or manipulation actions do people use in daily life? How often and under what circumstances do people use both hands simultaneously instead of one? A better understanding of how humans grasp can improve our ability to control robotic hands, which are still far behind human hands in dexterity.In our work we have used a variety of methods to observe how humans grasp and manipulate in natural, everyday settings. We have used photos taken throughout a normal day; high-framerate video in a specific setting (that of a convenience store); and cameras and motion capture systems in the context of a controlled experiment involving transporting a bowl from one location to another. In these studies we found that a single grasp pose can be used for a variety of actions, were able to observe the grasping process in detail, and found that minimizing body rotation plays a large role in the use of one hand vs. two in transport tasks. We propose applications of some of the main findings of these studies to the goal of improving the success of grasping performed by robotic hands and virtual characters. In particular, we propose using the detailed graspingbehavior found in the high-framerate video to create a simple soft hand capable of executing several ways of turning precision grasps into power grasps. This work thus presents the results and insights from investigations ofhuman manipulation and lays out ways in which those insights can be used to improve the capabilities of artificial manipulators.

Enhancing the robustness of instrumental variable estimation with potentially invalid instruments and its application to Mendelian randomization
Creators: name: Osea, Jana
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: In epidemiology and medicine, identifying the causal relationship between an exposure and an outcome is crucial to gain valuable insights of disease mechanisms and to improve patient care. However, a common problem when attempting to extract the causal relationship between an exposure and an outcome in observational studies is the presence of unmeasured confounding. To address this issue, instrumental variable (IV) estimation methods have been proposed to capture the relationship between the exposure and the outcome that is unaffected by the confounding variables. In particular, Mendelian Randomization (MR) is a statistical methodology that uses genetic variants as instruments. However, the validity of these genetic variants as instruments is often questionable due to the presence of pleiotropy and linkage disequilibrium. In practice, it is often difficult to ascertain the validity of the instruments as it requires complete knowledge of the involved genes' function. Furthermore, exposure and outcome data are often contaminated by outlying observations. In this thesis, we propose a novel two-step robust and penalized IV estimator and an algorithm to compute it, called the Robustified Some Valid Some Invalid Instrumental Variable Estimator (rsisVIVE), based on the sisVIVE method of Kang et al. (2016). The rsisVIVE estimates the causal effect of an exposure on an outcome using observational data in the presence of invalid instruments while tolerating large proportions of outlying observations. Simulation results show that the rsisVIVE more accurately estimates the causal parameter than the sisVIVE when instruments are weak and when there are no outlying observations. The rsisVIVE also outperforms competitor IV estimators in all cases when there are large proportions of outlying observations.

Prevalence of vertebral artery origin stenosis and occlusion in outpatient extracranial ultrasonography
Creators: name: Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institutes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Background and purpose—Vertebral artery origin stenosis prevalence. Most data on the prevalence of vertebral artery origin (VAo) disease is derived from hospital-based studies of patients with posterior circulation strokes and TIA. The prevalence of VAo disease in patients without posterior circulation symptoms or asymptomatic patients is poorly characterized. Our objective was to examine the prevalence of VAo stenosis and occlusion in consecutive patients, presenting for extracranial ultrasonography at an outpatient laboratory. Methods—We retrospectively identified 2490 consecutive extracranial duplex studies performed in an ambulatory neurovascular ultrasound laboratory. All studies were reviewed for the presence of >50% VAo stenosis, defined as a PSV > 114 cm/s, and VA occlusion. We also reviewed the prevalence of >50% carotid stenosis, defined as a PSV > 120 cm/s, in the same population, to draw comparisons with VAo stenosis prevalence. Results—We identified right VAo stenosis in 52/1955 (2.7%) and occlusion in 74/ 1955 (3.9%) and leftsided VAo stenosis in 45/1973 (2.5%) and occlusion in 64/1973 (3.6%). The prevalence of having any (either right or left) VAo stenosis or occlusion was 8.2% and 1.4% had bilateral VAo stenosis or occlusion. Right carotid stenosis and occlusion was found in 236/2399 (9.8%) and 53/2399 (2.2%), and left carotid stenosis and occlusion in 236/2397 (9.8%) and 45/2397 (1.9%), respectively. Any carotid disease, either right or left, was present in 18.9% and 4.7% had bilateral carotid disease. Conclusion—Although less prevalent than cervical carotid disease, we found that approximately 8% of patients who reported to an ambulatory ultrasound laboratory had >50% VAo disease.
SES, inequality and me : the effects of subjective socioeconomic status and perceived economic inequality on self-centeredness
Creators: name: Schmalor, Anita
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Economic inequality is on the rise in much of the world and has been associated with increased anxiety about one’s position in the social hierarchy (i.e., socioeconomic status; SES) and downstream consequences such as increased competitiveness and antisocial behaviour, decreased trust and well-being and other social ills. High socioeconomic status is characterized by a greater access to valued resources and leads to a heightened sense of power which has also been associated with downstream consequences such as increased unethical behaviour and dominance and decreased empathic accuracy. In this thesis, I aimed to replicate the previously found associations between SES and unethical behaviour, dominance, and empathic accuracy and I extended the research on economic inequality by exploring the relationship between inequality and the same outcome variables. I further built on previous research by bringing these two economic factors, inequality and SES, together and exploring their interactive effects. To the extent that the effects of SES on different outcome variables are mediated through a heightened sense of power caused by a greater access to valued resources by high SES individuals, this sense of power should be increased under conditions of higher economic inequality where the distance between people of high and low SES in the amount of resources they have is further exacerbated. While I did not replicate the previously found association between SES and unethical behaviour (Chapter 2), I found a positive association between SES and dominance expectations (Chapter 3) and a negative association between SES and empathic accuracy (Chapter 4). In line with the hypotheses, there was further largely a positive association between perceived inequality and unethical behaviour and dominance and a negative association between perceived inequality and empathic accuracy, and the effects of SES on dominance and empathic accuracy were most pronounced under conditions of high perceived economic inequality. But there was no interaction between SES and inequality in predicting unethical behaviour. Taken together, these results suggest that the effects of SES may depend on the amount of inequality people perceive. In this thesis, I focused on people’s perceptions of both SES and inequality which I assessed and manipulated.

Effect of non-invasive neurostimulation on hippocampal plasticity and memory
Creators: name: Zhang, Tianrui
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Non-invasive stimulation therapies such as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) or transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) are effective therapies for treatment-resistant depression. Although ECT is more efficacious than other treatment options, it is associated with cognitive side effects. By understanding the neurobiological underpinnings of ECT and TMS, we may gain critical insights into both their therapeutic and side effect profiles. In the current project, I used adult hippocampal neurogenesis in mice as a measure of neuroplasticity induced by neurostimulation. First, I directly compared the extent of hippocampal neurogenesis generated acutely by different stimulation modalities, including electroconvulsive shock (ECS), the animal analogue of ECT, and two forms of TMS, the 10Hz repetitive TMS (rTMS) and the intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS). I found that ECS increased neurogenesis significantly more than either form of TMS. However, a newer pattern of TMS called intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) showed a greater neurogenic potential than the traditional repetitive TMS (rTMS) when administered acutely and therefore I conducted the first study examining neurogenesis following chronic iTBS. Chronic iTBS application did not affect neurogenesis but altered the new neurons' morphology by increasing the size of pre-synaptic terminals in males. In contrast, chronic ECS induced up to a 2-fold increase in new neuron proliferation and survival, along with an enhancement of dendritic length and pre-synaptic terminal size in both males and females. These findings suggest that the stronger form of stimulation, ECS, is associated with increased neurogenesis, however new neuron addition may not be entirely beneficial. Animals that received chronic ECS were impaired in the performance of an associative memory task. While new neurons support hippocampal functions to improve future cognition, the integration of new neurons may disrupt the existing hippocampal circuit. Although chronic ECS did not decrease the number of developmentally-born neurons, I found that chronic ECS decreased the spine density of developmentally-born neurons in the ventral hippocampus. Overall, this study showed that ECS and TMS had differential effects on adult hippocampal neurogenesis and the ECS-induced neurogenesis may impair cognition by pruning existing synaptic connections.
THE FIRST 3D MODEL OF THE OLFACTORY BULB:A STUDY ON ODOR LEARNING AND REPRESENTATION
Creators: name: CAVARRETTA, FRANCESCO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2017

description: Le attuali tecniche sperimentali non permettono di studiare come il bulbo olfattivo processa gli odori, quindi ne abbiamo sviluppato un modello tridimensionale su larga scala. Questi riproduce in maniera realistica gli stimoli dovuti alla presenza di odori naturali, le morfologie di cellule mitrali e granulari, insieme alla loro connettivit�. Il nostro modello ritorna predizioni che sono sperimentalmente verificabili, fornendo un potente strumento per lo studio delle computazioni del bulbo olfattivo, quali ad esempio l'apprendimento e la rappresentazione degli odori. Con l'apprendimento di un odore, il bulbo olfattivo si auto-organizza in gruppi di colonne, ciascuna in corrispondenza di un singolo glomerulo o unit� glomerulare. Usando il nostro modello, abbiamo identificato i meccanismi su cui si basa la formazione di una o pi� colonne/unit� glomerulari in seguito alla presentazione di un odore. In aggiunta, abbiamo esaminato come le interazioni fra unit� glomerulari durante l'apprendimento possono influenzare la configurazione finale delle colonne. In seguito, abbiamo studiato come il bulbo olfattivo elabora gli ingressi provenienti dai recettori olfattivi attivati dagli odori naturali. Questo avviene su due livelli computazionali: lo strato glomerulare al livello di input, e lo strato delle cellule granulari al livello di output verso la corteccia olfattiva. Ci� suggerisce che le funzioni postulate nei circuiti glomerulari hanno come ruolo primario la trasformazione di un input complesso e disorganizzato in una rappresentazione dove i livelli di attivazione sono normalizzati, e il loro contrasto intensificato. Tuttavia l?output del livello glomerulare non pu� sincronizzare l?attivit� dei glomerulari. Pertanto, a livello delle cellule granulari, le interazioni dendrodendritiche inducono una decorrelazione temporale dei pattern rappresentativi dei vari odori, a sua volta dipendente da quella precedentemente realizzata nel livello glomerulare. Questi risultati forniscono importanti indizi riguardanti la computazione/rappresentazione del bulbo olfattivo, dimostrando l'importanza della sua auto-organizzazione modulare in unit� glomerulari. La sua organizzazione a strati � particolarmente importante per la rappresentazione degli odori naturali, dal momento che le aree da essi attivate sulla superficie del bubo sono sovrapposte.

Anomaly detection in multiplex networks : from human brain activity to financial networks
Creators: name: Behrouz, Ali
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The problem of identifying anomalies in dynamic networks is a fundamental task with a wide range of applications from understanding brain diseases/disorders to fraud detection in financial networks. However, it raises critical challenges due to the complex nature of anomalies, lack of ground truth knowledge, and complex and dynamic interactions in the network. Most existing approaches usually study simple networks with a single type of connection. However many complex systems exhibit natural relationships with different types of connections, yielding multiplex networks. We first propose ANOMULY, a graph neural network-based unsupervised edge anomaly detection framework for multiplex dynamic networks. ANOMULY learns node encodings in different relation types, separately, and then uses an attention mechanism that incorporates information across different types of relations. To improve generalizability and scalability, we further propose ADMIRE, an inductive and unsupervised anomaly detection method that extracts the causality of the existence of connections by temporal network motifs. To extract the temporal network motifs, ADMIRE uses two different casual multiplex walks, inter-view and intra-view that automatically extract and learn temporal multiplex network motifs. Despite the outstanding performance of ADMIRE, using it in sensitive decision-making tasks requires explanations for the model's predictions. Accordingly, we introduce an interpretable, weighted optimal sparse decision tree model, ADMIRE++, that mimics ADMIRE, to provide explanations for ADMIRE's predictions. With extensive experiments, we show the efficiency and effectiveness of our approaches in detecting anomalous connections in various domains, including social and financial networks. We further focus on understanding abnormal human brain activity of people living with Parkinson’s Disease, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and Autism Spectrum Disorder to show how these methods can assist in understanding the biomarkers for these diseases.
Defending Indigenous territories through energy sovereignty : community energy projects in Guatemala
Creators: name: Silva Santos, Maria Larissa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: In an environment where large-scale hydropower projects pose a continuous threat to Indigenous livelihoods and territories, this research follows Indigenous communities and a civil society organization (CSO) in Guatemala as they defend Indigenous territories by establishing and controlling small-scale community energy initiatives. These projects represent concrete energy alternatives that go beyond typical forms of resistance against extractivism prevalent across Latin America. This study delves into the activities of Colectivo Madreselva (CMS), a prominent civil society organization (CSO) that supports communities in designing, building, and managing micro-hydroelectric projects in Zona Reina region (Uspantán, Quiché). Their advocacy carries a particular significance in Guatemala, a country deeply scarred by a 30-year genocidal civil war against Indigenous peoples. The core of the analysis revolves around the Indigenous communities' unique strategy of defending their territories through energy sovereignty. By building and controlling small-scale hydropower projects, these communities not only secure an energy provision for themselves but also resist large-scale hydropower initiatives. This thesis provides a detailed examination of the role played by CMS in fostering these micro-hydropower projects and explores the challenges that communities face in their quest to maintain autonomy over their energy projects as an alternative to mega-developments. The study also scrutinizes the past and present impacts of the Guatemalan state's and corporations' counterinsurgency tactics against Indigenous peoples now involved in developing community energy projects. In shedding light on the intricacies of energy and food sovereignty, land rights, and Indigenous resistance in the context of post-war Guatemala, this thesis offers insights into the possible trajectories toward achieving a sustainable and just energy transition.

LEV KOPELEV: INTELLETTUALE SOVIETICO E UOMO DEL DIALOGO
Creators: name: PERONI, GIULIA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2014

description: The aim of the present work is to provide an intellectual biography of the Soviet writer Lev Zinov?evi? Kopelev (1912-1997). He grew up and studied during the period of the Stalinism and until the Sixties he can be considered as an ?homo sovieticus?, who devoted himself to the Communism and his leading figure, Stalin. Victim of the regime he believed into, Kopelev spent nine years in a ?ara?ka, and, after events such as the Prague Spring, he permanently left his believes and his idol Stalin. As a child Kopelev learned German, since he lived in the cosmopolitan atmosphere of the Kiev of the beginning of the century, and the contact with the German world can be considered as a constant in his life: during the Second World War he worked as an interpreter with German prisoners and in the Sixties he became a germanist by profession. Thanks to different inputs he received as a young man and thanks to the continuous contact with the German world, he underwent a path of personal growth, enriched by the friendship with Heinrich B�ll, whose ethical ideals influenced him and led him to develop a project of dialogue and openness towards the ?other?. �This personal evolution converted him from being a convinced communist to becoming a dissident.� Deprived of Soviet citizenship in the Eighties, he spent the rest of his life in the West Germany and he devoted his life to examine in depth the links between Russians and Germans towards the centuries. This research led to a great project: the ?Wuppertaler Projekt zur Erforschung der Geschichte Deutsch-Russischer Fremdenbilder?. In this work Kopelev firstly analysed the evolution of the relationship between the two nations from a literary, political, social and cultural point of view; secondly, he examined the genesis and the development of the prejudices of the ones towards the others and vice versa.� This work can be considered as the final point of Kopelev?s intellectual development: first of all as a scientist, since he condensed his knowledge in German and Russian literature, history and culture, but also as a man, because it was the result of the moral teaching he had learned from his own experience.

description: A systematic understanding of the potential contribution of the neighbourhood in explaining health inequalities remains an under-researched area. To quantify the importance of the neighbourhood in explaining health, by conducting pooled cross-sectional investigations of 49,602 adult participants, this study has hierarchically examined the magnitude of neighbourhood heterogeneity in different health outcomes in five Chinese provinces from 2010 to 2016. We found significant neighbourhood heterogeneity in both self-reported health and mental health with neighbourhood explaining 2.37% to 22.7% of the total variance. The majority of neighbourhood heterogeneity remained significant, with a range between 2.66% to 19.16% after individual attributes were considered. The magnitudes of neighbourhood heterogeneity in health were different across provinces, with Guangdong being the highest, followed by Shanghai and Henan, followed by Gansu and ended by Liaoning. There was a slightly descending trend in neighbourhood heterogeneity in health from 2010 to 2016. There remained unexplained significant and increased spatiotemporal variations in neighbourhood heterogeneity in health, after neighbourhood socioeconomic and sociodemographic attributes were considered. Both the compositional and contextual factors of neighbourhood heterogeneity in health were conditional on broader contextual backgrounds. Our study is the first of its kind in systematically investigating neighbourhood heterogeneity in health using provincially representative data from China's national database. Our findings have strengthened the groundwork for studies linking the neighbourhood to health and provided the framework for future studies to assess neighbourhood heterogeneity in health in consideration to broader contexts.

The targum (1966:Nov. 1 - 1966: Nov. 30)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1966

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: Technology can be integrated in teacher education and, hence, be used to empower teachers to extend learning beyond their classrooms. Therefore, the present study was an attempt to investigate English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers’ perceptions of action research and explore the impact of their collaborative action research in an online discussion group on their reflective practice. In addition, we were interested to know how online collaborative research action research contributes to their promotion of reflective thinking.The participants of this study were 23 Iranian EFL teachers who were recruited based on convenience sampling. The design of the study was a pre-test post-test design. As such, two questionnaires were given to the participants at the beginning and end of the study. As the next step, the participants took part in online discussion groups for 10 sessions in which they read and watched some essays and videos, wrote about some topics, and shared their ideas and experiences. To consolidate the findings, semi-structured interviews were held with 12 participants. The result of the study indicated that most of the participants of the study had optimistic views regarding action research. In addition, participating in online discussion groups enabled them to think more about their teaching practice and gain higher levels of reflectivity. The results of the qualitative phase indicated that the online courses had effect on the teachers’ practice and reflectivity in different ways. Despite all studies conducted on action research in Iran, contradictory results have been found regarding teachers’ perception of action research. In addition, to the researchers’ knowledge, no study has investigated the use of online collaborative action research on teachers’ reflection. As such, it seemed necessary to conduct a study to explore the role of action research as a framework for improving reflective practice.
Intravenous thrombolysis in a patient using factor Xa inhibitor

description: Until recently, only warfarin was approved for the prevention of stroke in patients with AF. Patients on warfarin with ischemic stroke were considered candidates for IV tPA as long as their PT/INR was not prolonged. Now, there are several new agents approved for stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular AF. The newer agents include direct thrombin inhibitors, like dabigatran, and factor Xa inhibitors, like rivaroxaban and apixaban. The coagulation profile of patients on direct thrombin inhibitors is more predictable than that of patients on factor Xa inhibitors, and the usage of IV tPA in patients on dabigatran has been previously reported. To our knowledge, there are no prior reports of IV tPA in a patient on a factor Xa inhibitor. We report a case of a 71-year-old man on rivaroxaban who improved with IV tPA after presenting with acute onset of aphasia and right-sided weakness

description: This article focuses on the use of like by Korean speakers of English. South Korea is a fascinating context for world Englishes studies: English is generally learned as a foreign language, but deep political and historical ties facilitate a high visibility and prominent status of the language in Korean society. In this study, the use of like by Korean speakers of English with particular attention to discourse-pragmatic aspects are investigated with the help of the Spoken Korean English Corpus (SPOKE). Like is a high frequency item in SPOKE and clearly forms part of the Korean English repertoire across its functional range. Even though usage of like as discourse marker and particle is influenced by having spent time abroad and (self-reported) English proficiency, it forms part of the repertoire of nearly all surveyed speakers. Quotative like has also found a place in the Korean English repertoire, albeit to a lesser degree.

description: De archeologie is als onderzoeksdiscipline in vele opzichten nog in volle ontwikkeling. Naast de traditionele cultuurhistorische interessepunten komt steeds meer de relatie tussen de mens en zijn omgeving in de belangstelling. De evolutie van deze interactie wordt bestudeerd aan de hand van een steeds groeiende waaier van organische resten ingezameld tijdens opgravingen. Dat de recent steeds meer bestudeerde loopkevers, mijten en kiezelwieren daarbij waardevolle vondstcategorieën zijn, wordt aangegeven door theoretische argumenten en voorbeelden uit de praktijk. Het onderzoek beperkt zich niet alleen meer tot pollen en zaden en beenderresten.
Exploring the use of spectral seriation to uncover dynamics in embryonic development : a geometric and probabilistic approach
Creators: name: Zendehboodi, Roomina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Understanding the dynamics of embryonic development is crucial to finding treatments for conditions such as aging and cancer. The development of an embryo can be represented as a curve in the Wasserstein space, and to construct this curve, static snapshots of gene expression profiles are obtained at n selected time points. Since the measurement techniques for obtaining these snapshots are destructive, we have to infer the developmental trajectory using a series of static snapshots of gene expression profiles taken at different time points t₁, t₂,...tₙ. To obtain these snapshots, multiple embryos are allowed to develop until each of the desired time points is reached, and the gene expression profile is then captured. However, to reconstruct the curve we need to know which embryo had reached which developmental stage; this information is lost during the measurements. To overcome this, a pairwise similarity function between profiles can be defined, and the profiles can be arranged so that the more similar they are, the closer they are placed together. This is part of a larger class of problems known as the “seriation” problem. In this thesis, the feasibility of using the “spectral seriation” method proposed by Atkins et al. is investigated to recover the order of the profiles based on their similarity, which enables the construction of the curve. The gene expression profile of an embryo can be seen as a probability measure on a compact set. Although the exact measures are unknown, they can be approximated empirically using m samples. In this thesis, we demonstrate that, under reasonable assumptions and with sufficient time points and samples per time point, the spectral seriation method can be effective in sequencing the data. Additionally, we provide tools to determine the number of time points and samples per time point needed to achieve a desired error bound. Furthermore, we investigate how the geometric properties of the curve representing the embryonic development can affect our ability to sequence the data.

description:
The site selection process for deep geological repository is a long-term project based on numerous disciplines. In the Czech Republic the geological characterisation was performed on nine selected sites in crystalline rocks, from which four were taken into account for ongoing geological survey and detailed site description.

This contribution will present the approach to the geological characterisation, which was, is and will be used for selection of final deep geological repository site on an example of Hrádek locality. The Hrádek locality is based in Moldanubian granitoid and metamorphic rocks of Bohemian massif in the central part of Czech Republic. In the previous phase, mostly archive data were used in combination with local field studies, in order to present a 3D geological model as an input for other models (e.g. hydraulic, transport, discrete fracture network model). The ongoing phase of geological characterisation includes mainly field studies, geological and hydrogeological mapping in combination with geophysical research and future borehole research, geophysical profiling and hydrogeological monitoring. All the data collected will be included in 3D geological model with uncertainty assessment with the aim to compare and evaluate the best site for future deep geological repository.

description:
For a robust interpretation in sedimentary provenance analysis studies (SPA) a combination of multiple methods is usually applied to a selected number of samples. To circumvent effects that perturb the provenance signal (e.g. hydraulic sorting) information on radiometric age, chemical composition and mineralogy is collected for mineral varieties usually by means of laser ablation inductively coupled mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS), electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA), Raman micro-spectroscopy and polarized optical microscopy.

These methods have become increasingly efficient and allow for rapid analysis of statistically relevant numbers of samples which is fundamental to SPA. However, routine combination of these methods on the same grains is rarely realized and sample preparation quickly becomes a bottleneck when sample numbers are significantly increased. The latter is especially important to detect subtle variations in deposits due to processes operating on centennial to millennial time scales such as rapid climatic variability.

Here we present a workflow that is optimized for high throughput of silt to sand-sized sedimentary samples, which allows routine combination of optical microscopy, Raman micro-spectroscopy, EPMA and LA-ICPMS by means of machine learning methods. Due to the high degree of automatization our workflow enables to access sedimentary archives at high spatial and/or temporal resolution and will provide, depending on combined methods, single-grain datasets that contain information on grain-size, shape, roundness, color, mineralogy, degree of metamictization, chemical composition, trace element composition and radiometric age. We demonstrate innovative approaches in the relevant sample preparation steps and showcase data of several loess profiles highlighting the feasibility of our workflow.
