Belief, backbone, and bulldozers! : Fergus O’Grady’s vision of Catholic, "integrated" education in northern British Columbia, 1956-1989
Creators: name: Beliveau, Kevin Edward Vicente
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Little has been written of either parochial or integrated educational history in northern British Columbia. Prince George College, founded in 1956 by Bishop Fergus O'Grady of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, represents a. particular attempt by the Catholic community of the Diocese of Prince George to offer a Catholic education for both Aboriginal and white students in northern British Columbia. Using the personal and professional files of the late Bishop O'Grady and other documentary evidence made available to me by the Archives of the Diocese of Prince George an attempt has been made to construct an image of Bishop 0'Grady's "vision" for Prince George College. Using letters, memos, minutes, personal notes, and a number of available monographs on the subject of parochial, Aboriginal, integrated,- and northern Canadian education, this thesis begins the process of piecing together some of the bishop's plans and visions for the school from its founding to its change of name in 1989 to "O'Grady Catholic High School" and eventual closing in June, 2001. Chapter One details the bishop's construction of not only the school's financial groundwork, but more importantly its ethos - a narrative rooted in century's old stories of the Oblates and their pioneering efforts to establish Christianity in northern B.C. The second chapter examines the role of volunteerism and parental support in staffing the school. In'particular, much credit must be given to the Frontier Apostles - a lay, volunteer organization started by Bishop 0'Grady - for the day-to-day running of the school for most of its thirty years. The third chapter looks specifically at the "integrated" nature of the school - the supposed presence of integration of both Aboriginal and white students. What is constructed is an image of the bishop's vision that finally provides some context to his plans for the school. The school lay on a foundation of a carefully constructed ethos, the sacrifices of hundreds of lay volunteers, and the involuntary financial subsidies provided by Aboriginal students from approximately 1960 to 1989. The school finally closed its doors in 2001 citing both financial difficulties and a lack of local parental support. Much can be learned from the mistakes of the past in any future attempts to re-open the institution.

description: The process of top quark pair production at the ILC with subsequent decays of one of the top quarks to a charged Higgs boson and b-quark is considered. The charged Higgs decays to tau leptons whose polarization is the opposite to those coming from W bosons. This difference is reflected in the energy distributions of the tau decay products in the top quark rest frame, which can be reconstructed at the ILC using the recoil mass technique. We present an analysis including spin correlations, backgrounds, ISR/FSR and beamstrahlung, and show that a fit of the shape of the pion energy spectrum yields the charged Higgs boson mass with an accuracy of about 1 GeV.

We also apply this calculation to a brane-inflation model in a warped geometry and find that the decay rate is greatly suppressed if final strings are all massive and enhanced with one final string massless, which may pose a challenge to this class of models.

title: From stage to street : the transnational production of politically engaged art in post-Soviet Moldova
Creators: name: Di Mauro, Giovanna
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2019

description: Since the late 1990s, politically engaged art has been flourishing in many post-Soviet states, and more recently artists from the region have gained the attention of Western media. In Moldova, despite the lack of public interest and sometimes government hostility toward politically engaged artists, the production of engaged art continues. Yet, academic studies of this form of political engagement have been extremely limited. This thesis fills this gap and considers political engagement through the arts as an unconventional form of political behaviour. The analysis rests on data collected through semi-structured interviews, life stories, online newspapers, audio-visual material, direct observation of artworks and rehearsals. This research aims to assess Pierre Bourdieu’s social theory applied to the post-Soviet space. The thesis argues that factors such as transnational funding, social capital, cultural capital and migration can contribute to an understanding of political engagement in Moldova. Finally, the thesis uses an interdisciplinary approach incorporating debates from international relations, sociology of art, international political sociology, cultural studies, art history and performance studies.

description: Many real systems are strongly characterized by collective cooperative phenomena whose existence and properties still need a satisfactory explanation. Coherently with their collective nature, they call for new and more accurate descriptions going beyond pairwise models, such as graphs, in which all the interactions are considered as involving only two individuals at a time. Hypergraphs respond to this need, providing a mathematical representation of a system allowing from pairs to larger groups. In this work, through the use of different hypergraphs, we study how group interactions influence the evolution of cooperation in a structured population, by analyzing the evolutionary dynamics of the public goods game. Here we show that, likewise network reciprocity, group interactions also promote cooperation. More importantly, by means of an invasion analysis in which the conditions for a strategy to survive are studied, we show how, in heterogeneously-structured populations, reciprocity among players is expected to grow with the increasing of the order of the interactions. This is due to the heterogeneity of connections and, particularly, to the presence of individuals standing out as hubs in the population. Our analysis represents a first step towards the study of evolutionary dynamics through higher-order interactions, and gives insights into why cooperation in heterogeneous higher-order structures is enhanced. Lastly, it also gives clues about the co-existence of cooperative and non-cooperative behaviors related to the structural properties of the interaction patterns.

description: The latest results in the research of forming planetary systems have led several authors to compile a sample of candidates for searching for planets in the vicinity of the sun. Young stellar associations are indeed excellent laboratories for this study, but some of them are not close enough to allow the detection of planets through adaptive optics techniques. However, the existence of very close young moving groups can solve this problem. Here we have compiled the members of the nearest young moving groups, as well as a list of new candidates from our catalogue of late-type stars possible members of young stellar kinematic groups, studying their membership through spectroscopic and photometric criteria.

description: One of the main goals of the Technical Coordination Work Package (WP10) in the EOSC-hub project is to play a supportive role to the participants (e.g. Thematic Services, Competence Centres and Business pilots) and external user communities (not directly involved in the project but engaged through other channels, e.g. the EOSC Portal) in the integration of their services into the Hub. In order to better structure and consolidate this support, WP10 has defined and is currently operating procedures to elicit, assess and track the technical requirements of such communities and, consequently, provide adequate assistance to the user communities to adopt the service of the Hub. The procedures described in this document cover also the cases when gaps (e.g. lacking one or more features) have been identified in the EOSC-hub service offer and, eventually, triggering other project activities that will take care of extending the offer accordingly. From a technical standpoint, the technical support activity is operating since the first months of the project. This allowed to extract metrics, suitable to depict the advancement achieved by each use case in the EOSC-hub integration path. These metrics are reported in this document (Section 6). Finally, details are provided about the outcome of the technical support activities for three exemplars use cases: DODAS and OPENCoastS thematic services and the ELIXIR competence centre.

description: New calculations of radiative rates and electron impact excitation cross sections for Fe XI are used to derive emission line intensity ratios involving 3s^23p^4 - 3s^23p^33d transitions in the 180-223 A wavelength range. These ratios are subsequently compared with observations of a solar active region, obtained during the 1995 flight Solar EUV Research Telescope and Spectrograph (SERTS). The version of SERTS flown in 1995 incorporated a multilayer grating that enhanced the instrumental sensitivity for features in the 170 - 225 A wavelength range, observed in second-order between 340 and 450 A. This enhancement led to the detection of many emission lines not seen on previous SERTS flights, which were measured with the highest spectral resolution (0.03 A) ever achieved for spatially resolved active region spectra in this wavelength range. However, even at this high spectral resolution, several of the Fe XI lines are found to be blended, although the sources of the blends are identified in the majority of cases. The most useful Fe XI electron density diagnostic line intensity ratio is I(184.80 A)/I(188.21 A). This ratio involves lines close in wavelength and free from blends, and which varies by a factor of 11.7 between N_e = 10^9 and 10^11 cm^-3, yet shows little temperature sensitivity. An unknown line in the SERTS spectrum at 189.00 A is found to be due to Fe XI, the first time (to our knowledge) this feature has been identified in the solar spectrum. Similarly, there are new identifications of the Fe XI 192.88, 198.56 and 202.42 A features, although the latter two are blended with S VIII/Fe XII and Fe XIII, respectively.

Superconducting pi qubit with three Josephson junctions

description: We propose a new qubit consisting of a superconducting ring with two ordinary zero junctions and one ferromagnetic pi junction. In the system, two degenerate stable states appear in the phase space without an external magnetic field because of a competition between the zero and pi states. Quantum tunneling between the two degenerate states leads to a formation of bonding and antibonding states (coherent states) which are used as a bit. For manipulating the states of the qubit, only small external magnetic field around zero is required. This feature leads to a large-scale integration and a construction of the qubit with a smaller size which is robust to the decoherence by external noises.

description: We study thermal leptogenesis induced by decays of a scalar SU(2)_L triplet. Despite the presence of gauge interactions, unexpected features of the Boltzmann equations make the efficiency close to maximal in most of the parameter space. We derive the maximal CP asymmetry in triplet decays, assuming that it is generated by heavier sources of neutrino masses: in this case successful leptogenesis needs a triplet heavier than 2.8 10^{10} GeV and does not further restrict its couplings, allowing detectable mu --> e gamma, tau --> mu gamma rates in the context of supersymmetric models. Triplet masses down to the TeV scale are viable in presence of extra sources of CP-violation.

Land Economics/Use

description: The debate over sustainable intensification has hinged on private incentives to abate land degradation. Largely missing is the role of social capital in both creating incentives and removing barriers to soil conservation. Yet soil conservation embodies the externality problem that bedevils so many aspects of natural resource management. Action by one farmer to reduce water or wind erosion may benefit neighboring fields by slowing the rate of water or wind movement across those lands. Yet these benefits are not fully captured by the farmer making the conservation investment. However, when economic agents care for one another, these externalities can be internalized, reducing the individual's disincentive to perform a socially level of natural resource conservation. Likewise, community organizations may provide collective capital and labor to overcome adoption barriers faced by individuals. The twin hypotheses that 1) farming practices influence soil erosion and 2) social capital influences the adoption of sustainable farming practices are tested with data from a 1999 survey of 197 farms in the Peruvian Altiplano around Lake Titicaca. The survey used cluster sampling of farms in villages to represent each of three arable agro-ecological zones in the Ilave-Huenque river basin. Relative asset levels were used to stratify resident households within villages. Personal interviews collected a wide range of data on farm household assets, management practices, and status of agricultural natural resources.

description: The understanding of the fermionic sector of the worldvolume D-brane dynamics on a general background with fluxes is crucial in several branches of string theory, like for example the study of nonperturbative effects or the construction of realistic models living on D-branes. In this paper we derive a new simple Dirac-like form for the bilinear fermionic action for any Dp-brane in any supergravity background, which generalizes the usual Dirac action valid in absence of fluxes. A nonzero world-volume field strength deforms the usual Dirac operator in the action to a generalized non-canonical one. We show how the canonical form can be re-established by a redefinition of the world-volume geometry.

Welfare decompostion and empirical calibration illustrate the potential for import barriers to cross-subsidize exports.
Conversion pathways of primary defects by annealing in proton-irradiated n-type 4H-SiC

description: The development of defect populations after proton irradiation of n-type 4H-SiC and subsequent annealing experiments is studied by means of deep level transient (DLTS) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. A comprehensive model is suggested describing the evolution and interconversion of irradiation-induced point defects during annealing below 1000°C. The model proposes the EH4 and EH5 traps frequently found by DLTS to originate from the (+/0) charge transition level belonging to different configurations of the carbon antisite-carbon vacancy (CAV) complex. Furthermore, we show that the transformation channel between the silicon vacancy (VSi) and CAV is effectively blocked under n-type conditions, but becomes available in samples where the Fermi level has moved towards the center of the band gap due to irradiation-induced donor compensation. The annealing of VSi and the carbon vacancy (VC) is shown to be dominated by recombination with residual self-interstitials at temperatures of up to 400°C. Going to higher temperatures, a decay of the CAV pair density is reported which is closely correlated to a renewed increase of VC concentration. A conceivable explanation for this process is the dissociation of the CAV pair into separate carbon anitisites and VC defects. Lastly, the presented data supports the claim that the removal of free carriers in irradiated SiC is due to introduced compensating defects and not passivation of shallow nitrogen donors.

description: A null ray approaching a distant astronomical source appears to slow down, while a massive particle speeds up in accordance with Newtonian gravitation. The integration of these apparently incompatible aspects of motion in general relativity is due to the existence of a critical speed. Dynamics of particles moving faster than the critical speed could then be contrary to Newtonian expectations. Working within the framework of gravitoelectromagnetism, the implications of the existence of a critical speed are explored. The results are expected to be significant for high energy astrophysics.

description: For organic food to reach the average consumer will require greater penetration into conventional supermarkets. Product placement can be expanded into more stores by altering attitudes that lower the probability of selling organic foods. This study identified significant factors in the retail decision to sell organic foods and quantifies the effects of retailer attitudes on behavior. We used a probit model to quantify the effect of customer demographics, store characteristics, manager characteristics, and profitability of organic retailing on the decision to sell organic foods. The model was based on interview data collected in Atlanta, Georgia from 66 retailers who sell organic foods and 21 who do not. Our research indicates that organic education programs can be a cost-effective way to expand market penetration without requiring changes in price or cost premiums. If properly composed and targeted, such programs can alter underlying attitudes and increase the probability of selling organic foods.

description: Trading of pollution permits with banking and borrowing can achieve an optimal distribution of abatement across agents and time. However, when the environmental constraint is binding under imperfectly observed abatement practices, there is an incentive for sources to misrepresent their activities. This cheating can erode the efficiency of a permit system in achieving an environmental standard, but it is shown that this incentive to cheat causes similar efficiency losses in a command-and-control mechanism employing a uniform reduction policy.

description: Side-channel attacks have empowered bypassing of cryptographic components in circuits. Power side-channel (PSC) attacks have received particular traction, owing to their non-invasiveness and proven effectiveness. Aside from prior art focused on conventional technologies, this is the first work to investigate the emerging Negative Capacitance Transistor (NCFET) technology in the context of PSC attacks. We implement a CAD flow for PSC evaluation at design-time. It leverages industry-standard design tools, while also employing the widely-accepted correlation power analysis (CPA) attack. Using standard-cell libraries based on the 7nm FinFET technology for NCFET and its counterpart CMOS setup, our evaluation reveals that NCFET-based circuits are more resilient to the classical CPA attack, due to the considerable effect of negative capacitance on the switching power. We also demonstrate that the thicker the ferroelectric layer, the higher the resiliency of the NCFET-based circuit, which opens new doors for optimization and trade-offs.

description: This study investigates the demand for selected healthy food groups in the United States. The original linear approximate almost ideal demand system (LA/AIDS) is modified by the use of a Laspeyres index and a normalization in order to compute demand elasticities identically to the AIDS model. The results of this study suggest that poultry is the most price elastic while cereals are the least price elastic. Fresh fruits and fresh vegetables are more price elastic than processed fruits and processed vegetables. Increasing income would induce the increases in the consumption of fresh vegetables and fruits more than that of cereals and bakery products, while increasing health risk concerns would induce the decreases in the consumption of bakery products and poultry but the increases in the consumption of fresh vegetables and cereals. The demographic variables exhibit certain effects on the demand for some healthy food groups and seasonal fluctuations statistically exist in the consumption of all food groups under study.

description: The notion of integrated circuit split manufacturing which delegates the front-end-of-line (FEOL) and back-end-of-line (BEOL) parts to different foundries, is to prevent overproduction, piracy of the intellectual property (IP), or targeted insertion of hardware Trojans by adversaries in the FEOL facility. In this work, we challenge the security promise of split manufacturing by formulating various layout-level placement and routing hints as vector- and image-based features. We construct a sophisticated deep neural network which can infer the missing BEOL connections with high accuracy. Compared with the publicly available network-flow attack [1], for the same set of ISCAS-85 benchmarks, we achieve 1.21X accuracy when splitting on M1 and 1.12X accuracy when splitting on M3 with less than 1% running time.

description: Michigan State University Extension (MSUE) established areas of expertise (AOE) teams to deliver Extension programs in Michigan more effectively. Increasing the expertise of its staff members at the county level to meet the dynamic educational needs of its clients is important consideration of MSUE. The purpose of this paper is to study the Michigan livestock farmers' educational needs. A sample of Michigan farmers was surveyed in 1996 and 1999, utilizing a standard mail survey. Responses from Michigan livestock farmers were isolated from the database for this study. The study revealed general farm magazines, agricultural newspapers, Extension publication, printed materials from commercial firms and sales persons, and family and friends were primary source of information. Electronic information media and organizational events were not popular. Livestock farmers believed that the MSUE agents had a broad perspective of the farming business and they were not willing to pay a private consultant to help manage their farm/business. Information pertaining to specific topics such as business management, farm management, economics of farm operations, environmental protection, and agricultural marketing were found as important areas of educational needs. Livestock farmers who are 35 years or older and who do not have college education should be the target of these educational programs.

description: In dynamic complex networks, entities interact and form network communities that evolve over time. Among the many static Community Detection (CD) solutions, the modularity-based Louvain, or Greedy Modularity Algorithm (GMA), is widely employed in real-world applications due to its intuitiveness and scalability. Nevertheless, addressing CD in dynamic graphs remains an open problem, since the evolution of the network connections may poison the identification of communities, which may be evolving at a slower pace. Hence, naively applying GMA to successive network snapshots may lead to temporal inconsistencies in the communities. Two evolutionary adaptations of GMA, sGMA and $α$GMA, have been proposed to tackle this problem. Yet, evaluating the performance of these methods and understanding to which scenarios each one is better suited is challenging because of the lack of a comprehensive set of metrics and a consistent ground truth. To address these challenges, we propose (i) a benchmarking framework for evolutionary CD algorithms in dynamic networks and (ii) a generalised modularity-based approach (NeGMA). Our framework allows us to generate synthetic community-structured graphs and design evolving scenarios with nine basic graph transformations occurring at different rates. We evaluate performance through three metrics we define, i.e. Correctness, Delay, and Stability. Our findings reveal that $α$GMA is well-suited for detecting intermittent transformations, but struggles with abrupt changes; sGMA achieves superior stability, but fails to detect emerging communities; and NeGMA appears a well-balanced solution, excelling in responsiveness and instantaneous transformations detection.

description: We carried out optical high-resolution spectroscopy of T Tauri stars using the Subaru Telescope. Using archived data from the Keck Telescope and the Very Large Telescope, we detected forbidden lines of [S II] at 4069 A, in addition to those of [O I] at 5577 A and 6300 A, for 13 T Tauri stars. We consider that low-velocity components of these forbidden lines emanate from the wind associated with T Tauri stars. Using two flux ratios of the three lines, we simultaneously determined the hydrogen density and temperature of the winds. The winds of T Tauri stars have a hydrogen density of $2.5 \times 10^{6}$ cm$^{-3}$ - $2.5 \times 10^{9}$ cm$^{-3}$ and a temperature of 10800 -18000 K. The mass loss rates by the wind are estimated to lie in the range from $2.0 \times 10^{-10}$ M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ to $1.4 \times 10^{-9}$ M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$. The mass loss rates are found to increase with increasing mass accretion rates. The ratio of the mass loss rate to the mass accretion rate is 0.001-0.1 for classical T Tauri stars and 0.1-1 for transitional disk objects.

description: Imperfect property rights and government subsidies are pervasive sources of inefficiency in water resource development in the American West. To alleviate central Arizona's dependence on groundwater, the federal government subsidized construction of the Central Arizona Project to import up to 1.287 million acre-feet of water per year from the Colorado River. In return for the subsidy, Arizona groundwater law was reformed to eliminate the common-property pumping of groundwater and to ban groundwater mining after the year 2025. We build a model of Arizona's water problem to quantify the welfare effects of alternative CAP construction dates and Arizona groundwater laws. We reach two general conclusions. First, properly timed, CAP would have increased social surplus by a modest $69 million compared to the situation where central Arizona had no access to Colorado River water and extracted its groundwater eficiently. However, because of the federal subsidies, Arizona successfully pressed for early construction of CAP. CAP was thus completed 71 years too early, in 1987, at a deadweight loss of $1.323 billion relative to optimal timing. Ironically, construction in 1987 yielded lower surplus than never constructing CAP. Second, the explicit political exchange of state groundwater reform for federal subsidies and sub-optimal timing introduced a greater loss ($1.323 billion) than it corrected ($0.988 billion). Thus, this political exchange---which was initiated as a new federal policy---was worse than doing nothing at all.

description: In this paper a preliminary analysis is presented of a combined buffer-fund and buffer-stock as an alternative to a pure buffer-fund or a pure buffer stock for stabilising wool prices. The alternatives analysed are designed so that each provides the same prices to producers as did the Reserve Price Scheme over the period of analysis. Least-cost combinations of policy instruments are derived. The results show that there is considerable potential for cost savings to be made by combining buffer-fund and buffer-stock instruments.
