Pipe dreaming : federalism and northern environmental policy
Creators: name: Wong, Daniel Andrew
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The Canadian North poses a clear illustration of the struggle for sustainable development in a context of advanced capitalism. How do northern political institutions and electoral incentives impact the relationships between federal, territorial and aboriginal governments in the field of environmental policy and the prospects of environmental protection? This paper will argue that negotiations for the devolution of resources and environmental activities with low economic significance have borne substantially more fruit, more quickly, than the sticky issues of non-renewable resource exploitation and impact assessment. Case work of select northern environmental policy suggests that the public interest eithe favours utilization of northern resources for economic development or is insufficiently green to overcome collective action problems beyond symbolic commitments to environmental protection.

description: Conductivity and field effect measurements in thin insulating Al granular films are reported. The occurrence of a symmetrical field effect and of very slow conductance relaxations is demonstrated. They are identical to the electron glassy behaviours already reported in insulating indium oxide thin films. The results suggest that the phenomena are quite general. The study of structurally discontinuous samples should help to understand the origin and mechanism of the glassy behaviour.

description: We present some theoretical predictions concerning the amplitude and magnetic sensitivity of the linear polarization signals produced by scattering processes in the hydrogen Ly-alpha line of the solar transition region. To this end, we have calculated the atomic level polarization (population imbalances and quantum coherences) induced by anisotropic radiation pumping in semi-empirical and hydrodynamical models of the solar atmosphere, taking into account radiative transfer and the Hanle effect caused by the presence of organized and random magnetic fields. The line-center amplitudes of the emergent linear polarization signals are found to vary typically between 0.1% and 1%, depending on the scattering geometry and the strength and orientation of the magnetic field. The results shown here encourage the development of UV polarimeters for sounding rockets and space telescopes with the aim of opening up a diagnostic window for magnetic field measurements in the upper chromosphere and transition region of the Sun.

description: Eine Literaturrecherche hat gezeigt, dass keine Software für die Simulation aerober und anaerober Abbauprozesse für organische Mischungen verfügbar ist. Gestützt auf Grundkenntnissen und den Ergebnissen aus Literaturrecherchen wurde daher ein Modell und eine neue Software - SimuCF,- entwickelt. Für die Erstellung der Software wurde LabVIEW™ ausgewählt. Das Ergebnis ist ein Computerprogramm, dass die Abbauprozesse für biogene Substanzen auf dem Computer simulieren kann. Aufgrund der Ergebnisse können Aussagen über Prozessverläufe und Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten getroffen werden. Das schließt auch die qualitative und quantitative Beschreibung der Emissionen während verschiedener Abbauphasen ein. Die ersten Validierungsvergleiche von simulierten Werten mit empirisch gemessenen Ergebnissen zeigten vielversprechende Resultate; sowohl für die Kompostierung, als auch für die anaerobe Vergärung. SimuCF kann also beispielsweise verwendet werden, um emissions- und energie-bezogene Fragen in Kompostierungs- und Vergärungs- bzw. Biogasanlagen zu beantworten. Prozessoptimierungen könnten auf diese Weise helfen, den Energieverbrauch zu reduzieren und die Biogasbildung und andere Emissionen zu verbessern. Die Software SimuCF könnte auch für Lehrkurse verwendet werden. Spezielle Anpassungen sind für alle Bereiche möglich.
description: A literature review has shown that there is no software or model for simulation available for both, the aerobic and anaerobic degradation process for organic mixtures. Based on basic knowledge and findings in the literature, a new model, SimuCF, was developed. As software for programming LabVIEW™ was selected. SimuCF can simulate the degradation processes for biogenic substances on the computer to such an extent that statements regarding process sequences or process improvements can be made. This also includes the qualitative and quantitative description of the emissions during different degradation phases. The first validations by comparing simulated and empirically obtained values provided good results for composting as well as for anaerobic digestion. SimuCF can be used to help answer energy- and emission-related questions in waste management facilities. Process optimizations reduced energy consumption and improved biogas generation and all other emissions. This software can also be used for training courses. Special adjustments are possible for all.
"Our Kids Count Too": The Failure of the Chicago Housing Authority and the Chicago Public Schools to Jointly Address the Needs of Children Relocated during the Plan for Transformation

Subjects: subject: Chicago Housing Authority (CHA)

subject: housing policy
subject: K-12 education

description: The project examines the extent to which the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA) and the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) coordinated with one another in order to support children whose families were relocated during the Plan for Transformation and provides recommendations for how urban school departments and housing authorities can work together to improve the experiences of children and families affected by public housing policy. Although the CHA made an effort to help families transition smoothly, such as hiring relocation counselors, there were few supports put in place to help children stay in the same school following relocation. The turnover in schools and instability that kids faced following the implementation of the Plan for Transformation negatively impacted their school experiences both academically and socially. The project combines information gathered through interviews and analysis of primary and secondary sources to highlight the experiences of children and families who were relocated from the CHA’s Robert Taylor Homes high-rise development. The research shows that there was little collaboration between the CHA and CPS, which meant that as children changed schools, they experienced disrupted academic and social experiences. Had the CHA and CPS coordinated more effectively to support relocated children and families, they would have been able to provide more stable school experiences to children in public housing, increasing the likelihood of positive academic and life outcomes.

description: It this paper we present the results obtained with the newly created Standard SANC modules for calculation of the NLO QCD corrections to single top production processes in s and t channels at the partonic level, as well as top-decays. The main aim of these results is to prove the correct work of modules. A comprehensive comparison with results of the CompHEP system is given, where possible. These modules are intended to be used in Monte Carlo generators for single top production processes at the LHC. As in our recent paper, devoted to the electroweak corrections to these processes, we study the regularization of the top-legs associated infrared divergences with aid of the complex mass of the top quark. A comparison of QCD corrections with those computed by the conventional method is presented both for top production and decays. For s channel production we give an analytic proof of equivalence of the two methods in the limit of low top width.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011

description: Context: The unification scheme of Seyfert galaxies hypothesizes that Seyfert type 1s and type 2s are intrinsically similar and the observed differences between the two subtypes are solely due to the differing orientations of toroidal-shaped obscuring material around the AGN. In the framework of the unification scheme, both the Seyfert subtypes are expected to show similar intrinsic nuclear properties, such as the absorption-corrected AGN X-ray luminosity, bolometric luminosity, accretion rate and the mass of the supermassive black hole. Aims: To test the predictions of the Seyfert unification scheme, we make statistical comparison of the distributions of: (i) the absorption-corrected 2.0 - 10 keV X-ray luminosities, (ii) the bolometric luminosities, (iii) the black hole masses and, (iv) the Eddington ratios, of Seyfert type 1s and type 2s. Methods: We use an optically selected Seyfert sample in which type 1s and type 2s are matched in properties that are independent to the orientation of the obscuring torus, the AGN axis and the host galaxy. Results: The distributions of the absorption-corrected 2.0 - 10 keV X-ray luminosities, the bolometric luminosities, the black masses and, the Eddington ratios are statistically similar for the two Seyfert subtypes, consistent with the orientation and obscuration based Seyfert unification scheme. The Eddington ratio distributions suggest that both the Seyfert subtypes are accreting at sub-Eddington level with wide span of Eddington ratios i.e., 10^-4 - 10^-1.

Subjects: SSI, Digital Identity

description: The European Union is a flourishing environment for digital identity, with a manifold of initiatives promising greater user privacy and control of information through the concept of Self-Sovereign Identity. However, with no formal model to align the effectiveness of eIDs to Self-Sovereign Identity, anyone can declare adherence to SSI. This work unfolds an objective, high-quality teaching model to study the convergence of e-identity offerings toward Self-Sovereign Identity as opposed to empirical approaches. Our model ranks initiatives and streamlines the development process of eID solutions. We demonstrate its value on the most extensive electronic identification framework (eIDAS) considering period-correct generalizations. In the long run, our model urges governments and practitioners to build a robust environment for identity solutions.

Mast cells : homeostatic regulation, activation, gene expression, surface antigens, and role in allergic disease
Creators: name: Haddon, David James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Overall, we aimed to discover more about mast cell physiology, focusing on their homeostatic regulation in vivo, their activation in vitro and in allergic disease, their gene expression patterns, and their surface antigens. In our first study, our objective was to establish the function of Src homology 2-containing inositol 5’-phosphatase (SHIPI), in mast cells in vivo. SHIP1 inhibits immune receptor signaling through hydrolysis of the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (P13K) product Pl-3,4,5-P₃ ,forming P1-3,4-P₂. In mast cells, SHIPI represses FcεRI- and cytokine-mediated activation in vitro, but little is known regarding the function of SHIPI in mast cells in vivo, or the susceptibility of Shipl⁻/⁻ mice to mast cell-associated diseases. We found that ⁻ mice have systemic mast cell hyperplasia, increased serum levels of IL-6, TNF, and IL-5, and a heightened anaphylactic response. Further, by reconstituting mast cell-deficient mice with Ship1⁺/⁺ or Shipl⁻/⁻ mast cells, we found that the above defects were due to loss of SHIPI in mast cells. Additionally, we found that mice reconstituted with Shipl⁻/⁻ mast cells suffered worse allergic asthma pathology than those reconstituted with Ship1⁺/⁺ mast cells. In summary, our data show that SHIPI represses allergic inflammation and mast cell hyperplasia in vivo, and that SHIPI exerts these effects specifically in mast cells. In our second study we compared Lin⁻Sca-1⁺c-kit⁺ (LSK) cells, which are highly enriched for hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), and mast cells, using microarray expression analysis, and identified prion protein (PrPC) as a potentially novel marker of mast cells. Upon further investigation, we found that PrPC (1) is expressed on the surface of human and mouse mast cells, both in vitro and in vivo; (2) is not required for mast cell differentiation or tissue homeostasis; (3) is released by mast cells at steady state and rapidly upon activation; and (4) is released in response to mast cell dependent allergic inflammation in vivo. Since mast cells are long-lived and known to traffic to the brain and central nervous system (CNS), our observations could have important implications for the transmission and pathology of prion diseases. Further, mast cells could be a unique system to investigate PrPc’s normal function.

description: We derive general results for the mass shift of bound states with angular momentum l >= 1 in a periodic cubic box in two and three spatial dimensions. Our results have applications to lattice simulations of hadronic molecules, halo nuclei, and Feshbach molecules. The sign of the mass shift can be related to the symmetry properties of the state under consideration. We verify our analytical results with explicit numerical calculations. Moreover, we comment on the relations connecting the effective range parameter, the binding momentum of a given state and the asymptotic normalization coefficient of the corresponding wave function. We give explicit expressions for this relation in the shallow binding limit.

description: Kaonic hydrogen atoms provide a unique laboratory to probe the kaon-nucleon strong interaction at the energy threshold, allowing an investigation of the interplay between spontaneous and explicit chiral symmetry breaking in low-energy QCD. The SIDDHARTA Collaboration has measured the $K$-series X rays of kaonic hydrogen atoms at the DA$Φ$NE electron-positron collider of Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati, and has determined the most precise values of the strong-interaction induced shift and width of the $1s$ atomic energy level. This result provides vital constraints on the theoretical description of the low-energy $\bar{K}N$ interaction.

description: The European Commission managed to dedicate 20 per cent of the 2014–2020 EU budget to climate mainstreaming despite the acute financial and economic crises. It then proposed a more ambitious 25 per cent target for the 2021–2027 EU budget, which was subsequently increased to 30 per cent in the negotiations with the European Parliament and Council. How did it manage to keep the EU’s climate mainstreaming policy on track despite changing framework conditions including multiple crises? This article process-traces the European Commission’s approach to increasing climate ambition in and despite turbulent times. It reveals that the Commission played a key role in maintaining the stringency of existing long-term goals through policy entrepreneurial leadership, mutual learning and relying on policy path-dependency from the 20 per cent mainstreaming target. This case has wider implications for theory highlighting the importance of policy entrepreneurs and learning in policy stabilization towards decarbonization.

Modelling And Analysis Of The Chevron Formation In The Fish Myotome

description: The body segments of fish have a folded shape, called chevron, which is obvious from the oblique orientation of fish bones. The chevron shape has been proposed to be optimal for the alternating body movements during swimming. Much less is known about which physical mechanisms underly the development of this shape during embryogenesis.

In this thesis we will review which mechanisms have been proposed in the literature and show that they are insufficient. Based on our data analysis of segment shape changes, we propose a novel mechanism to explain the beginning chevron development. A mathematical model of the interactions between developing muscle fibers and segment boundaries is derived and solved analytically and numerically. Model predictions are verified for early chevron formation by comparison to experimental data.

We discuss possible extensions of our model to account for additional properties of later stages in chevron formation. Furthermore we propose experiments that could validate our “Muscle Pioneer Hypothesis” and state open questions concerning chevron pattern development that could not be discussed in this thesis.

description: The search for neutrinoless double beta decay probes lepton number conservation with high sensitivity and investigates the neutrino nature and mass scale. Experiments presently in preparation will cover the quasi-degeneracy region of the neutrino mass pattern. Probing the so-called inverted hierarchy region requires improved sensitivities and next-generation experiments, based either on large expansions of the present searches or on new ideas. We examine here the potential of a novel technology relying on ZnMoO4 scintillating bolometers, which can provide an experiment with background close to zero in the ton x year exposure scale. The promising performance of a pilot detector is presented, both in terms of energy resolution and background control. A preliminary study of the sensitivities of future experiments shows that the inverted hierarchy region is within the reach of the technique here proposed. A realistic phased approach program towards a next-generation search is presented and briefly discussed.

The achievements of the Eastern Rockies Forest Conservation Board are considered relative to its stated objectives, the Board's concept of multiple-use and the present condition of watersheds on the Eastern Slopes . Priorities and pre- requisites for effective implementation of those directives are then examined.

description: We present an analysis of CO emission lines from a sample of T Tauri, Herbig Ae/Be, and transitional disks with known inclinations, in order to study the structure of inner disk molecular gas. We calculate CO inner radii by fitting line profiles with a simple parameterized model. We find that, for optically thick disks, CO inner radii are strongly correlated with the total system luminosity (stellar plus accretion), and consistent with the dust sublimation radius. Transitional disk inner radii show the same trend with luminosity, but are systematically larger. Using rotation diagram fits, we derive, for classical T Tauri disks, emitting areas consistent with a ring of width ~0.15 AU located at the CO inner radius; emitting areas for transitional disks are systematically smaller. We also measure lower rotational temperatures for transitional disks, and disks around Herbig Ae/Be stars, than for those around T Tauri stars. Finally, we find that rotational temperatures are similar to, or slightly lower than, the expected temperature of blackbody grains located at the CO inner radius, in contrast to expectations of thermal decoupling between gas and dust.

description: A variety of genome-wide profiling techniques are available to probe complementary aspects of genome structure and function. Integrative analysis of heterogeneous data sources can reveal higher-level interactions that cannot be detected based on individual observations. A standard integration task in cancer studies is to identify altered genomic regions that induce changes in the expression of the associated genes based on joint analysis of genome-wide gene expression and copy number profiling measurements. In this review, we provide a comparison among various modeling procedures for integrating genome-wide profiling data of gene copy number and transcriptional alterations and highlight common approaches to genomic data integration. A transparent benchmarking procedure is introduced to quantitatively compare the cancer gene prioritization performance of the alternative methods. The benchmarking algorithms and data sets are available at http://intcomp.r-forge.r-project.org

The cellular and functional role of melanotransferrin in melanomas
Creators: name: Tian, Mei Mei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Melanoma, one of the deadliest forms of skin cancers, is a malignant tumor derived from abnormal proliferation of epidermal melanocytes, and its formation involves a series of events leading to altered cellular properties and rapid proliferation. High cellular iron content has been connected to the development of cancers in human. One way iron may affect cancer development and progression is by altering cell growth and proliferation. Iron has been proposed to promote progression from G₁ to S phase of the cell cycle through activation of ribonucleotide reductase during DNA synthesis. Iron is normally absorbed by the enterocyte of the duodenum where it is transported throughout the body via serum transferrin. However, the existence of transferrin-transferrin receptor independent iron transport pathways has been shown. Such pathways are thought to play critical roles in non-transferrin bound iron overload in diseases such as hemochromatosis and Alzheimer’ s disease, though the molecular details of these pathways remain obscure. Many genes are up-regulated to aid the abnormal proliferation of cancer cells and subsequent invasion of tissues. In the case of melanoma, the expression of melanotransferrin (p97), an iron binding molecule, is elevated. In this thesis, the cellular and functional role of glycosyiphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored p97 in melanoma was investigated. The first aim of this thesis was to perform detailed investigation of the internalization pathway of GPI-anchored p97 in melanoma cells. Although many GPI anchored proteins have been studied previously, there is still an on-going debate whether caveolae-dependent or clathrin-dependent pathways are involved. Using confocal immunofluorescence microscopy and quantitative immunoelectron microscopy, iron bound GPI-anchored p97 was shown to be internalized via a caveolae vesicles dependent endocytotic pathway. In addition, endosomal disruption studies demonstrated that the intracellular trafficking of the GPI-anchored p97 in melanoma cells is endosomal dependent. The studies performed in this thesis demonstrate that GPI-anchored p97 protein can mediate the iron uptake in melanoma cells. As GPI-anchored p97 is highly expressed in melanoma cells, this thesis also examined the functional role of GPI anchored p97 in melanoma cells and tumors. The expression of GPI-anchored p97 in melanoma cells through over-expression and down-regulation techniques. The results demonstrated that the GPI-anchored p97 promote melanoma cell proliferation, melanin production and secretion in vitro and melanoma tumor growth in vivo. Taken together, this thesis sheds new light on the relationship between GPI-anchored p97, melanoma development and cellular iron uptake.

description: Analysing roll call votes from the energy and climate policy field in the Eighth European Parliament (2014–2019), this article asks why has the European Parliament succeeded in maintaining its relatively ambitious position and how national and partizan factors explain voting behaviour of Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) on EU energy and climate legislation. We find the Eurosceptic vs. pro-EU cleavage to be the main conflict line structuring voting on energy and climate policy. Additionally, EU energy and climate policy has been supported by MEPs from member states with a track record of more ambitious climate policymaking and those with higher energy dependence. We show that increasing party fragmentation in the European Parliament has strengthened the influence of some progressive party groups, particularly the Greens, and has enhanced the European Parliament’s ability to mobilize support for a relatively ambitious energy and climate legislation.
Urban Agriculture in Chicago: Support for and Challenges to Programs Aimed at Addressing Community Development and Inequitable Access to Nutrition
Creators: name: Jones, Jendayi
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: urban agriculture

description: This project uses a mixed approach of interviews and literature research to illustrate the current state of urban agriculture in the city of Chicago, and to determine whether urban agriculture programs can serve as viable solutions to addressing problems of nutritional inequity, unemployment, and community building in different areas in Chicago. By examining 2 policy initiatives and the methods of 2 large land management organizations, along with the results of 3 interviews with people currently involved with different types of urban agriculture projects, I hope to identify which aspects of the urban agriculture setup in is effective, and which need improvement from government and independent organizations alike.

description: A measurement of inclusive W and Z production cross sections in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV is presented. The electron and muon decay channels are analyzed in a data sample collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 inverse picobarns. The measured inclusive cross sections are sigma(pp-> WX) B(W-> l nu) = 10.30 +/- 0.02 (stat.) +/- 0.10 (syst.) +/- 0.10 (th.) +/- 0.41 (lumi.) nb and sigma(pp -> ZX) B(Z-> l^+l^-) = 0.974 +/- 0.007 (stat.) +/- 0.007 (syst.) +/- 0.018 (th.) +/- 0.039 (lumi.) nb, limited to the dilepton invariant mass range 60 to 120 GeV. The luminosity-independent cross section ratios are [sigma(pp->WX) B(W-> l nu)]/[sigma(pp-> ZX) B(Z->l^+l^-)] = 10.54 +/- 0.07 (stat.) +/- 0.08 (syst.) +/- 0.16 (th.) and [sigma(pp->W^+X) B(W^+ -> l^+nu)] / [sigma(pp->W^- X) B(W^- -> l^- nu)] = 1.421 +/- 0.006 (stat.) +/- 0.014 (syst.) +/- 0.029 (th.). The measured values agree with next-to-next-to-leading order QCD cross section calculations based on recent parton distribution functions.

description: The Internet has become a prime venue for interracial interactions. However, some unique features of the Internet give rise to the debate about whether electronic communication will intensify racial discrimination. In exploring the effects of the Internet on online interracial interaction, I begin with outline two different patterns of online race-related behaviours. Two theories, social identity theory on status and power and the contact hypothesis, are applied to explain the different patterns. The strategic aspect of social identity theory on deindividuation effect (SIDE) is also used to elucidate the process in which the unique features of the Internet influences the individual’s choice of responses towards the interracial encounters. Although the Internet does provide individuals with greater freedom to either engage in racial attack or advocate egalitarianism, individual’s motives rather than the Internet itself determine the choice of behaviours. Potential benefit of the Internet in promoting positive intergroup interaction is highlighted.

description: Populist parties are on the rise. But what happens when they are in government? In order to grasp the effect of populist parties in government systematically, the paper includes all 28 EU member states in an analysis which estimates the effect of populist parties in power on the increase of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The results show that depending on their ideological orientation populist government participation is clearly associated with increasing GHG emissions. Furthermore, the analysis shows that the effect is quick. This is above all true for right-wing populist parties in government. Furthermore, the analysis shows that populist parties have different impacts in various regions of the EU. While right-wing populist governments are associated with an increase of GHG emissions in North Western and Eastern Europe, left-wing populist governments in Southern Europe have the opposite effect.

Lithological and glacial geomorphological studies near the erratics terrain, Calgary area, Alberta
Creators: name: Morgan, Alan Vivian
Publisher: name: University of Calgary

Subjects: subject: Geomorphology - Alberta - Calgary

description: Bibliography: p. 154-163.
description: This study is an attempt to determine the lithology of tills in the minity of the Foothills Erratics Train in order to learn more about the origin of this train, the interrelation between Cordilleran and Laurentide ice sheets, and. the glacial history of the Calgary area. Pebble lithology was determined and. recorded at 1.5.5 sites distributed over the study area, using igneous and metamorphic, carbonate, and brown and purple quartzite pebbles as indicatorso Mega-erratics of similar lithology were noted over the entire map region. Isolithological maps were prepared for the respective indicators whilst distribution maps were drawn for the different mega-erratic groupso In the course of field work on pebble lithology a number of different deposits were mapped These included. widespread lacustrine sediments , spillway systems , shoreline levels, deltas and other indicators of former lake levels, as well as areas of ground and hummocky moraine, glacio-fluvial features , and periglacial structures. Landforms such as drumlins and eskers were also mapped in the field , whilst fluting directions and washboard moraine areas were studied on air photographs. Conclusions were reached as to the origin of many of the above mentioned features which were also utilized in reconstructing the glacial history of the area The Foothills Erratics Train possibly originated as a giant rockslide or rockslides onto the surface of a glacier near Mount Edith Cavell, Jasper The quartzite erratics , many in excess of one hundred tons, were emplaced in the study area during the retreat of the Wisconsin ice , and prior to, or contemporaneous with, glacial Lake Calgary. At least three major glaciers covered the study area the Cordilleran ice sheet, the Erratics Train glacier and the Jaurentide ice sheet . The possibility exists that further glaciers may have been incorporated into the western edge of the Laurentide ice. A periglacial environment existed during the deposition of waterworked gravels which cap Nose Hill and Cairn Heights. The gravels are believed to pre-date the earliest ice advance but are probably of Pleistocene age- The first glacial advance is thought to be Cordilleran in origin, followed by a Laurentide advance which went at least as far as the western boundary of the study areao The first Laureritide ice sheet was probably over one thousand feet thicker than the Erratics Train glacier.. During deglaciation a series of lakes was trapped between the ice front and the regional slope Ice retreat north and eastward is marked by a number of meltwater channels and sandurs, both of which are believed to have been partly ice marginal and partly superglacial. A periglacial climate existed after the retreat of the last ice from the region.
