Conceptualizing the role of the Nurse Practitioner : what is an NP and how does this role translate to practice
Creators: name: Freitag, Brittany
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: This poster focuses on the clinical issue of Nurse practitioner (NP) role ambiguity. NP ambiguity is an issue that results in decreased understanding of NPs by the public and healthcare professionals, barriers at the point of care, and ultimately decreased integration of the NP into the health care system. This issue is exacerbated by varying understandings and perceptions of the NP role influenced by historical and contextual factors. The use of role theory, adoption of an ontological view of advanced nursing practice, and application of a knowledge translation framework are all valuable tools in resolving this clinical practice issue.

description: Η συγκεκριμένη εργασία μελετάει τα μοντέλα εξάπλωσης ιών που έχουν κατασκευαστεί για να περιγράψουν τη δυναμική της μετάδοσης των ιών από έναν άνθρωπο (ασθενής 0) σε ολόκληρο το δίκτυο. Αρχική προϋπόθεση είναι η γνώση της τοπολογίας του δικτύου. Αυτό που διαπιστώνεται στην εργασία είναι ότι η διαφορετική τοπολογία (δομή) του δικτύου συνεπάγεται διαφορετικό τρόπο μετάδοσης του ιού. Τέλος, περιγράφονται δείκτες (δείκτες κεντρικότητας) της θεωρίας δικτύων οι οποίοι υποδηλώνουν ανάλογα με τις τιμές που εμφανίζουν, κατά πόσο είναι εύκολη ή δύσκολη η εξάπλωση του ιού μέσα σε ολόκληρο το δίκτυο καθώς μπορεί να τονίζουν επίσης και ποιοι είναι οι πιο επικίνδυνοι κόμβοι που μπορούν να μολύνουν το μεγαλύτερο ποσοστό του πληθυσμού μέσα στο δίκτυο.
description: The thesis examines the virus spreading models that have been created in order to describe the dynamic of the virus transmission from an individual to the whole network. An initial requirement to achieve this aim is to have the knowledge of the network topology. In this work, it is ascertained that the different network topology means different way of the virus transmission. Finally, network indicators are introduced and described (centrality indicators) that point out how much easy or difficult the virus transmission is in the whole network. Additionally, they can indicate which nodes are the most dangerous to transmit the virus to the largest percentage of the population in the network.
Captures of stars by a massive black hole: Investigations in numerical stellar dynamics

description: Among the astrophysical systems targeted by LISA, stars on relativistic orbits around massive black holes (MBHs) are particularly promising sources. Unfortunately, the prediction for the number and characteristics of such sources suffers from many uncertainties. Stellar dynamical Monte Carlo simulations of the evolution of galactic nucleus models allow more realistic estimates of these quantities. The computations presented here strongly suggest that the closest such extreme mass-ratio binary to be detected by LISA could be a low-mass MS star (MSS) orbiting the MBH at the center of our Milky Way. Only compact stars contribute to the expected detections from other galaxies because MSSs are disrupted by tidal forces too early.

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We treat analytically a model that captures several features of the phenomenon of spatially inhomogeneous reversal of an order parameter. The model is a classical Ginzburg-Landau field theory restricted to a bounded one-dimensional spatial domain, perturbed by weak spatiotemporal noise having a flat power spectrum in time and space. Our analysis extends the Kramers theory of noise-induced transitions to the case when the system acted on by the noise has nonzero spatial extent, and the noise itself is spatially dependent. By extending the Langer-Coleman theory of the noise-induced decay of a metastable state, we determine the dependence of the activation barrier and the Kramers reversal rate prefactor on the size of the spatial domain. As this is increased from zero and passes through a certain critical value, a transition between activation regimes occurs, at which the rate prefactor diverges. Beyond the transition, reversal preferentially takes place in a spatially inhomogeneous rather than in a homogeneous way. Transitions of this sort were not discovered by Langer or Coleman, since they treated only the infinite-volume limit. Our analysis uses higher transcendental functions to handle the case of finite volume. Similar transitions between activation regimes should occur in other models of metastable systems with nonzero spatial extent, perturbed by weak noise, as the size of the spatial domain is varied.

description: On the basis of an analysis of the ITER L-mode energy confinement database, two new scaling expressions for tokamak L-mode energy confinement are proposed, namely a power law scaling and an offset-linear scaling. The analysis indicates that the present multiplicity of scaling expressions for the energy confinement time TE in tokamaks (Goldston, Kaye, Odajima-Shimomura, Rebut-Lallia, etc.) is due both to the lack of variation of a key parameter combination in the database, fs = 0.32 R a^.75 k^ 5 ~ A a^.25 k^.5, and to variations in the dependence of rE on the physical parameters among the different tokamaks in the database. By combining multiples of fs and another factor, fq = 1.56 a^2 kB/R Ip = qeng/3.2, which partially reflects the tokamak to tokamak variation of the dependence of TE on q and therefore implicitly the dependence of TE on Ip and n,., the two proposed confinement scaling expressions can be transformed to forms very close to most of the common scaling expressions. To reduce the multiplicity of the scalings for energy confinement, the database must be improved by adding new data with significant variations in fs, and the physical reasons for the tokamak to tokamak variation of some of the dependences of the energy confinement time on tokamak parameters must be clarified

description: Asymmetric variability in ultraviolet images of the Homunculus obtained with the Advanced Camera for Surveys/High Resolution Camera on the Hubble Space Telescope suggests that Eta Carinae is indeed a binary system. Images obtained before, during, and after the recent ``spectroscopic event'' in 2003.5 show alternating patterns of bright spots and shadows on opposite sides of the star before and after the event, providing a strong geometric argument for an azimuthally-evolving, asymmetric UV radiation field as one might predict in some binary models. The simplest interpretation of these UV images, where excess UV escapes from the secondary star in the direction away from the primary, places the major axis of the eccentric orbit roughly perpendicular to our line of sight, sharing the same equatorial plane as the Homunculus, and with apastron for the hot secondary star oriented toward the southwest of the primary. However, other orbital orientations may be allowed with more complicated geometries. Selective UV illumination of the wind and ejecta may be partly responsible for line profile variations seen in spectra. The brightness asymmetries cannot be explained plausibly with delays due to light travel time alone, so a single-star model would require a seriously asymmetric shell ejection.

description: From the interpretation of the $Θ^+(1540)$ and $Ξ_{3/2}(1862)$ baryons as an excitation of the ``skyrmion liquid'' with SU(3) flavour symmetry $\bar{10}$ we deduce a new series of baryons, $Θ_1^{++}$, $Θ_1^{+}$ and $Θ_1^0$, situated at the top of the 27-plet of SU(3) flavour, with hypercharge Y=2, isospin I=1 and spin $J=\frac32$. The $Θ_1$ mass and width are estimated from the chiral quark soliton model. We demonstrate that the predicted mass, $m_{Θ_1}=1599 \mathrm{MeV/c^2}$, and broad width are in qualitative conflict with experiment which shows no structure in the total $K^+p$ cross section near $P_\mathrm{lab}=585$ MeV/c. We also discuss properties of other exotic baryons from the 27- and 35-plets.

description: We present a linear stability analysis of a flow undergoing conductively-driven mass-loading from embedded clouds. We find that mass-loading damps isobaric and isentropic perturbations, and in this regard is similar to the effect of thermal conduction, but is much more pronounced where many embedded clumps exist. The stabilizing influence of mass-loading is wavelength independent against isobaric (condensing) perturbations, but wavelength dependent against isentropic (wave-like) perturbations. We derive equations for the degree of mass-loading needed to stabilize such perturbations. We have also made 1D numerical simulations of a mass-loaded radiative shock and demonstrated the damping of the overstability when mass-loading is rapid enough.

description: SmCo5 is an important hard magnetic material, due to its large magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE). We have studied the magnetic properties of SmCo5 using density functional theory (DFT) calculations where the Sm f-bands, which are difficult to include in DFT calculations, have been treated within the LDA+U formalism. The large MAE comes mostly from the Sm f-shell anisotropy, stemming from an interplay between the crystal field and the spin-orbit coupling. We found that both are of similar strengths, unlike some other Sm compounds, leading to a partial quenching of the orbital moment (f-states cannot be described as either pure lattice harmonics or pure complex harmonics), an optimal situation for enhanced MAE. A smaller portion of the MAE can be associated with the Co-d band anisotropy, related to the peak in the density of states at the Fermi energy. Our result for the MAE of SmCo5, 21.6 meV/f.u., agrees reasonably with the experimental value of 13-16 meV/f.u., and the calculated magnetic moment (including the orbital component) of 9.4 mu_B agrees with the experimental value of 8.9 mu_B.

description: This paper discusses the formulation of the non-commutative Chern-Simons (CS) theory where the spatial slice, an infinite strip, is a manifold with boundaries. As standard star products are not correct for such manifolds, the standard non-commutative CS theory is not also appropriate here. Instead we formulate a new finite-dimensional matrix CS model as an approximation to the CS theory on the strip. A work which has points of contact with ours is due to Lizzi, Vitale and Zampini where the authors obtain a description for the fuzzy disc. The gauge fields in our approach are operators supported on a subspace of finite dimension N+ηof the Hilbert space of eigenstates of a simple harmonic oscillator with N, η\in Z^+ and N \neq 0. This oscillator is associated with the underlying Moyal plane. The resultant matrix CS theory has a fuzzy edge. It becomes the required sharp edge when N and ηgoes to infinity in a suitable sense. The non-commutative CS theory on the strip is defined by this limiting procedure. After performing the canonical constraint analysis of the matrix theory, we find that there are edge observables in the theory generating a Lie algebra with properties similar to that of a non-abelian Kac-Moody algebra. Our study shows that there are (η+1)^2 abelian charges (observables) given by the matrix elements (\cal A_i)_{N-1 N-1} and (\cal A_i)_{nm} (where n or m \geq N) of the gauge fields, that obey certain standard canonical commutation relations. In addition, the theory contains three unique non-abelian charges, localized near the N^th level. We show that all non-abelian edge observables except these three can be constructed from the abelian charges above. Using the results of this analysis we discuss the large N and ηlimit.

Anomalous sharp peak in the London penetration depth induced by the nodeless-to-nodal superconducting transition in BaFe$_2$(As$_{1-x}$P$_x$)$_2$

description: The issue of whether the quantum critical point (QCP) is hidden inside unconventional superconductors is a matter of hot debate. Although a prominent experiment on London penetration depth has demonstrated the existence of the QCP in the isovalent-doped iron-based superconductor BaFe$_2$(As$_{1-x}$P$_x$)$_2$, with the observation of a sharp peak in the penetration depth in the vicinity of the disappearance of magnetic order at zero temperature, the nature of such an emerging QCP remains unclear. Here, we provide a unique picture to understand well the phenomena of the QCP based on the framework of linear response theory. Evidence from the density of states and superfluid density calculations suggests the nodeless-to-nodal pairing transition accompanied the appearance of a sharp peak in the penetration depth in BaFe$_2$(As$_{1-x}$P$_x$)$_2$. Such a pairing transition originates from the three-dimensional electronic properties with a strong interlayer superconducting pairing. This finding provides a significant insight into the understanding of the QCP observed in experiment in BaFe$_2$(As$_{1-x}$P$_x$)$_2$.

description: We address the question of why larger, high symmetry crystals are mostly weak, ductile and statistically sub-critical, while smaller crystals with the same symmetry are strong, brittle and super-critical. We link it to another question of why intermittent elasto-plastic deformation of sub-micron crystals features highly unusual size sensitivity of scaling exponents. We use a minimal integer-valued automaton model of crystal plasticity to show that with growing variance of quenched disorder, which can serve in this case as a proxy for increasing size, sub-micron crystals undergo a crossover from spin-glass marginality to criticality characterizing the second order brittle-to-ductile (BD) transition. We argue that this crossover is behind the non-universality of scaling exponents observed in physical and numerical experiments. The non-universality emerges only if the quenched disorder is elastically incompatible and it disappears if the disorder is compatible.

description: This postgraduate research aims to highlight the field of development and utilization of business ideas in education. More specifically, this dissertation thesis shows that technological innovation and artificial intelligence can assist in actions for the teaching of foreign languages. In particular, applications and platforms are studied which are used for learning foreign languages and rely on the main characteristics: innovation and the business intelligence. Each platform and application used for the scope of this research, is realized using the canvas tool of the business model (Business Model Canvas) for the analysis of business ideas in the field of education. And it creates a fertile ground for comparison between them as well as conclusions of success of these arguments. The appearance and use of artificial intelligence in business startups ideas, contributes increasingly to diversify their services and their efficient operation.

description: This paper explores the potential contribution to climate change mitigation resulting from the adoption of the Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) mitigation scheme methodologies. CSA is an internationally recognized approach that helps guide the actions needed to transform and reorient agricultural systems, to effectively support sustainable development and ensure food security in a changing climate. CSA is based on principles developed in conjunction with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), so its Mitigation Scheme framework of differentiated incentivization is readily transferable across IPCC regions, without the need for radical new policy initiatives. This methodology links with an emissions trading scheme (ETS), as an incentive compatible mechanism to improve environmental outcomes. In this case the NZETS trades carbon certificates based on farm systems that effectively measure, report and ultimately verify the land user’s contribution towards the country’s nationally determined contributions (NDCs).

description: We discuss the integrability of Jacobi manifolds by contact groupoids, and then look at what the Jacobi point of view brings new into Poisson geometry. In particular, using contact groupoids, we prove a Kostant-type theorem on the prequantization of symplectic groupoids, which answers a question posed by Weinstein and Xu \cite{prequan}. The methods used are those of Crainic-Fernandes on $A$-paths and monodromy group(oid)s of algebroids. In particular, most of the results we obtain are valid also in the non-integrable case.

description: Insulator-metal transition is investigated self-consistently on the frustrated Shastry-Sutherland lattice in the framework of Slave-Boson mean-field theory. Due to the presence of quasi-flat band structure characteristic, the system displays a spin-density-wave (SDW) insulating phase at the weak doping levels, which is robust against frustration, and it will be transited into an SDW metallic phase at high doping levels. As further increasing the doping, the temperature or the frustration on the diagonal linking bonds, the magnetic order $m$ will be monotonically suppressed, resulting in the appearance of a paramagnetic metallic phase. Although the Fermi surface of the SDW metallic phase may be immersed by temperature, the number of mobile charges is robust against temperature at weak doping levels.

description: The goal of many computational physicists and chemists is the ability to bridge the gap between atomistic length scales of about a few multiples of an Ångström (Å), i. e., 10−10 m, and meso- or macroscopic length scales by virtue of simulations. The same applies to timescales. Machine learning techniques appear to bring this goal into reach. This work applies the recently published on-the-fly machine-learned force field techniques using a variant of the Gaussian approximation potentials combined with Bayesian regression and molecular dynamics as efficiently implemented in the Vienna ab initio simulation package, VASP. The generation of these force fields follows active-learning schemes. We apply these force fields to simple oxides such as MgO and more complex reducible oxides such as iron oxide, examine their generalizability, and further increase complexity by studying water adsorption on these metal oxide surfaces. We successfully examined surface properties of pristine and reconstructed MgO and Fe3O4 surfaces. However, the accurate description of water–oxide interfaces by machine-learned force fields, especially for iron oxides, remains a field offering plenty of research opportunities.

description: In 2018, the Manawatu Wanganui Regional Council (Horizons) began examining natural resource management in the region in preparation for a plan review. This includes the information provided by dairy farmers as part of their land-use consent applications. In this paper the authors describe the reductions in greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) emissions being achieved by dairy farmers in the Tararua District as a co-benefit from reducing nitrogen losses to water. The sample of 126 dairy farms came from a relatively high rainfall area (1000-2000mm/yr) and mixed soil types (mostly brown and allophanic soils). In 2012-13, the annual losses of nitrogen to water averaged 40 kgN/ha (ranging from 24-60 kgN/ha). The annual GHG emissions averaged 11.2 t/ha (ranging from 10-15 t/ha). There was a very poor relationship between individual farm nitrogen losses to water and their GHG emissions (R2 <0.1). To model the effect of management practices that reduce nitrogen losses to water, the farms were placed into five groups using cluster analysis. Five clusters of farms were modelled in Overseer®, to represent all the dairy farms in the catchment. Management mitigations were introduced sequentially to each cluster farm and the nitrogen losses to water calculated over an expected 20 year timeframe. When the changes in GHG emissions were compared with the expected reductions in nitrogen losses, a possible co-benefit became apparent. Across the representative dairy farms in the catchment, after introducing the management mitigations for improving water quality, the GHG percentage reductions were estimated to be around 64% of the percentage reductions in nitrogen losses to water. From these results, it appears likely that dairy farmers in the Tararua District will achieve significant reductions in GHG emissions from the adoption of management practices designed to reduce nitrate losses to water.

description: The lack of interpretability of existing CNN-based hand detection methods makes it difficult to understand the rationale behind their predictions. In this paper, we propose a novel neural network model, which introduces interpretability into hand detection for the first time. The main improvements include: (1) Detect hands at pixel level to explain what pixels are the basis for its decision and improve transparency of the model. (2) The explainable Highlight Feature Fusion block highlights distinctive features among multiple layers and learns discriminative ones to gain robust performance. (3) We introduce a transparent representation, the rotation map, to learn rotation features instead of complex and non-transparent rotation and derotation layers. (4) Auxiliary supervision accelerates the training process, which saves more than 10 hours in our experiments. Experimental results on the VIVA and Oxford hand detection and tracking datasets show competitive accuracy of our method compared with state-of-the-art methods with higher speed.

description: Empirical evidence suggests that Gossen’s law of decreasing marginal utility does not always apply in cultural, hobby and recreational contexts. This can have significant implications for efficient resource allocation. In the presence of increasing marginal utility, benefits are maximised by concentrating resource access in a small number of individuals, rather than widely distributing access. Satisfaction ratings from a panel of 698 hunters who undertook 2,917 red deer hunts provide a test of Gossen’s law with respect to number of deer killed. Latent class ordered logit models outperformed random parameters models and provided evidence of weak non-decreasing marginal utility for all classes of hunter. Study results are applied to test potential efficiency gains from imposing a one red deer per hunt bag limit.
