description: The newly incorporated Twin Sisters Native Plant Nursery, a joint venture of the Saulteau First Nations and West Moberly First Nations, was created to meet a growing demand for native plant species for use in reclamation in the Peace River region of British Columbia. Associated with this new native plant nursery is the development of a number of programs that support successful nursery operations as well as the use of native plants in reclamation work in the region. Collaborative research involving First Nations and industry partners aids in the identification of a wide range of culturally significant and ecologically appropriate native plant species for propagation. Training programs in native plant horticulture support the creation of a skilled and knowledgeable workforce. A proposed native plant reclamation guidebook will contribute to successful installation of native plant species at reclamation sites. In this paper we describe the creation of the Twin Sisters Native Plant Nursery and discuss how the associated research and training programs as well as the creation of reclamation guidelines support the overarching goal of the nursery to promote the use of native plant species in reclamation in Northeastern British Columbia.

description: This paper explores the potential of physical memorial and museum spaces as locations that can foster community-wide posttraumatic growth in the wake of catastrophic disasters. The role of memorial and museum spaces in fostering affect and meaning-making is considered for the purpose of developing an assessment tool to evaluate whether a memorial/museum fosters posttraumatic growth. That tool is then used to assess a particular location, the Aceh Tsunami Museum in Banda Aceh, Indonesia.

description: Electromagnetic observations have been used over the past decades to understand the nature of black holes and the material around them. Our ability to learn about the fundamental physics relies on our understanding of two key ingredients in the modeling of these electromagnetic observations: the gravity theory that describes the black hole, and the astrophysics that produces the observed radiation. In this work we study our current ability to constrain and detect deviations from General Relativity using the accretion disk spectrum of stellar-mass black holes in binary systems. Our analysis combines relativistic ray-tracing and Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo sampling techniques to determine how well such tests of General Relativity can be carried out in practice. We show that even when a very simple astrophysical model for the accretion disk is assumed a priori, the uncertainties and covariances between the parameters of the model and the parameters that control the deformation from General Relativity make any test of General Relativity very challenging with accretion disk spectrum observations. We also discuss the implications of assuming that General Relativity is correct a priori on the estimation of parameters of the astrophysical model when the data is not described by Einstein's theory, which can lead to a fundamental systematic bias.

description: This paper investigates wave-equations on spacetimes with a metric which is locally analytic in the time. We use recent results in the theory of the non-characteristic Cauchy problem to show that a solution to a wave-equation vanishing in an open set vanishes in the ``envelope'' of this set, which may be considerably larger and in the case of timelike tubes may even coincide with the spacetime itself. We apply this result to the real scalar field on a globally hyperbolic spacetime and show that the field algebra of an open set and its envelope coincide. As an example there holds an analog of Borchers' timelike tube theorem for such scalar fields and hence, algebras associated with world lines can be explicitly given. Our result applies to cosmologically relevant spacetimes.

description: The quantum cosmological version of the multidimensional Einstein-Yang-Mills model in a $R \times S^3 \times S^d$ topology is studied in the framework of the Hartle-Hawking proposal. In contrast to previous work in the literature, we consider Yang-Mills field configurations with non-vanishing time-dependent components in both $S^3$ and $S^d$ spaces. We obtain stable compactifying solutions that do correspond to extrema of the Hartle-Hawking wave function of the Universe. Subsequently, we also show that the regions where 4-dimensional metric behaves classically or quantum mechanically (i.e. regions where the metric is Lorentzian or Euclidean) will depend on the number, $d$, of compact space dimensions.

This is a large genus, containing about 200 described species, occurring in Mexico, Central America, South America, and the West Indies. See Figs 84–88 for habitus illustrations. The included species are rather heterogeneous, and the relationships to various other genera, such as Acalymma and Ensiforma, are currently unclear. Future investigation will probably result in Isotes being subdivided into numerous smaller genera.

description: There is a general lack of atomic resolution data of mobile regions of membrane proteins embedded in lipid bilayers. As an inherently complex system, few techniques can capture information about the mobile portions of an otherwise immobilized protein. The nature of crystallography and solid-state NMR relies on structural rigidity. Solution-state NMR relies on overall mobility of a protein for resolution. In the middle regime, there are few solutions to study these systems. The inward-rectifying, pH-gated potassium channel KcsA from Streptomyces lividans makes an excellent model for the development of methods to study mobile regions of membrane proteins. Of its 160 residues, more than a third are in extracellular do- mains and are not typically captured by solid-state NMR or crystallographic techniques. These pages present evidence that KcsA’s C-terminus is highly mobile and becomes increasingly dynamic when the protein is at low pH and high K+ concen- tration, where the channel is known to be active. By applying proton-detected, high-resolution magic angle spinning NMR (HR-MAS) to fractionally deuterated KcsA, previously unattainable correlations are collected and new resonance assignments are made, demonstrating the utility of the technique. The lipid environment is well known to regulate the function of KcsA in particular and membrane proteins in general. It is generally assumed that reconstituting KcsA into a synthetic phospholipid membranes provides the protein a well-defined environment. Data is presented here which shows that KcsA co-purifies with phosphoglycerol lipids from the E. coli membrane and that these molecules are 13C enriched in the course of isotopically labeling KcsA. Further, significant hydrolysis of both co- purifying and synthetic lipids occurs under ordinary experimental conditions. These findings demand that routine analysis of samples must include verification of the chemical integrity of lipids. Finally, the feasibility of applying dynamic nuclear polarization-enhanced NMR (DNP) to KcsA is investigated as a means of elucidating information about its termini. Although KcsA is known to enhance poorly by DNP, data presented here show that this is not an intrinsic property of the protein but rather an effect of the matrix in which KcsA is investigated. The use of a 15N-enriched free amino acid dissolved into buffers used for DNP is shown to be a powerful diagnostic internal standard.
Possible origin of the slow-diffusion region around Geminga

description: Geminga pulsar is surrounded by a multi-TeV $γ$-ray halo radiated by the high energy electrons and positrons accelerated by the central pulsar wind nebula (PWN). The angular profile of the $γ$-ray emission reported by HAWC indicates an anomalously slow diffusion for the cosmic-ray electrons and positrons in the halo region around Geminga. In the paper we study the possible mechanism for the origin of the slow diffusion. At first, we consider the self-generated Alfvén waves due to the streaming instability of the electrons and positrons released by Geminga. However, even considering a very optimistic scenario for the wave growth, we find this mechanism DOES NOT work to account for the extremely slow diffusion at the present day if taking the proper motion of Geminga pulsar into account. The reason is straightforward as the PWN is too weak to generate enough high energy electrons and positrons to stimulate strong turbulence at the late time. We then propose an assumption that the strong turbulence is generated by the shock wave of the parent supernova remnant (SNR) of Geminga. Geminga may still be inside the SNR, and we find that the SNR can provide enough energy to generate the slow-diffusion circumstance. The TeV halos around PSR B0656+14, Vela X, and PSR J1826-1334 may also be explained under this assumption.

description: George and Wilson [Acta. Cryst. D 50, 361 (1994)] looked at the distribution of values of the second virial coefficient of globular proteins, under the conditions at which they crystallise. They found the values to lie within a fairly narrow range. We have defined a simple model of a generic globular protein. We then generate a set of proteins by picking values for the parameters of the model from a probability distribution. At fixed solubility, this set of proteins is found to have values of the second virial coefficient that fall within a fairly narrow range. The shape of the probability distribution of the second virial coefficient is Gaussian because the second virial coefficient is a sum of contributions from different patches on the protein surface.

Species richness at a small metals mine near an abundant source of native propagules

description: Nyrstar Myra Falls mine is located within the boundaries of Strathcona - Westmin Provincial Park on Vancouver Island. Vegetation assessment of NMF’s revegetated tailings disposal facility (TDF) seismic berm indicates the success of revegetation efforts in establishing cover, as well as modifying microclimates that support increased native species recruitment from local, proximate native seed sources. Via these processes, a site-specific, site-adapted, diverse vegetation community is forming. Planting programs at Myra Falls have been successful in establishing a high density of three native tree species, with 40 additional species establishing on the primary survey units of the upper TDF seismic berm, and 22 further species establishing along the lower portion of the TDF seismic berm, through processes of natural colonization. Native species percent composition is high, between 70-90%, despite being located near a roadway, which are known dispersal corridors for non-native species. The prevalence and proximity of native propagules in the area appear to be primary factors in the degree of successful germination and competition with non-native individuals for niche opportunities. Surveys conducted approximately 5 years following alder planting will help determine whether additional revegetation is required, or whether natural processes are likely to accomplish sufficient site revegetation within an acceptable timeframe.

description: We extend a recent classification of three-dimensional spatially isotropic homogeneous spacetimes to Chern--Simons theories as three-dimensional gravity theories on these spacetimes. By this we find gravitational theories for all carrollian, galilean, and aristotelian counterparts of the lorentzian theories. In order to define a nondegenerate bilinear form for each of the theories, we introduce (not necessarily central) extensions of the original kinematical algebras. Using the structure of so-called double extensions, this can be done systematically. For homogeneous spaces that arise as a limit of (anti-)de Sitter spacetime, we show that it is possible to take the limit on the level of the action, after an appropriate extension. We extend our systematic construction of nondegenerate bilinear forms also to all higher-dimensional kinematical algebras.

description: From the very first multimessenger event of GW170817, clean robust constraints can be obtained for the tidal deformabilities of the two stars involved in the merger, which provides us unique opportunity to study the equation of states (EOSs) of dense stellar matter. In this contribution, we employ a model from the quark level, describing consistently a nucleon and many-body nucleonic system from a quark potential. We check that our sets of EOSs are consistent with available experimental and observational constraints at both sub-nuclear saturation densities and higher densities. The agreements with ab-initio calculations are also good. Especially, we tune the density dependence of the symmetry energy (characterized by its slope at nuclear saturation $L$) and study its influence on the tidal deformability. The so-called $QMF18$ EOS is named after the case of $L=40~\rm MeV$, and it gives $M_{\rm TOV} =2.08~M_\odot$ and $R= 11.77~\rm km$, $Λ=331$ for a $1.4\,M_\odot$ star. The tidal signals are demonstrated to be insensitive to the uncertain crust-core matching, despite the good correlation between the symmetry energy slope and the radius of the star.

description: We study the viability of spontaneous breaking of continuous symmetries in theories with Lifshitz scaling, according to the number of space-time dimensions $d$ and the dynamical scaling $z$. Then, the answer to the question in the title is no (quantum field theoretically) and yes (holographically). With field theory tools, we show that symmetry breaking is indeed prevented by large quantum fluctuations when $d\leq z+1$, as expected from scaling arguments. With holographic tools, on the other hand, we find nothing that prevents the existence of a vacuum expectation value. This difference is made possible by the large $N$ limit of holography. An important subtlety in this last framework is that in order to get a proper description of a conserved current, renormalization of the temporal mode of the bulk vector requires an alternative quantization. We also comment on the implications of turning on temperature.

description: We adopt the standard definition of diffeomorphism for Regge gravity in D=2 and give an exact expression of the Liouville action in the discretized case. We also give the exact form of the integration measure for the conformal factor. In D>2 we extend the approach to any family of geometries described by a finite number of parameters. The ensuing measure is a geometric invariant and it is also invariant in form under an arbitrary change of parameters.

description: Despite ongoing federal prohibition, American states continue to legalize the cultivation, processing, distribution, and possession of cannabis for both medical and recreational purposes. State-level frameworks for legalization vary greatly across the nation, including whether counties and municipalities are authorized to use their zoning and other police powers to regulate cannabis-related uses within their jurisdictions. In California--where medical marijuana has been legal since 1996 and recreational cannabis since 2016--localities are granted such authority, placing planners on the frontlines for devising land use schemes for a once prohibited activity and doing so with little guidance from higher levels of government. Cannabis cultivation has a storied history in California's Humboldt County, where it is a multibillion-dollar industry with well-documented environmental impacts. This study deploys a qualitative, multiple-case study research design to better understand how Humboldt County and three of its incorporated cities have used their zoning and land use authority under state law to regulate cannabis cultivation not only for neighborhood impacts or environmental concerns but also for other components of public health, safety, and welfare. The study reveals the innovative planning interventions these jurisdiction have deployed, which not only reflect local goals pertaining to the ever-evolving cannabis industry but also local considerations of equitable economic development.

description: As an extension of the isotropic setting presented in the companion paper [J. Phys. A 52, 144002 (2019)], we consider the Langevin dynamics of a many-body system of pairwise interacting particles in $d$ dimensions, submitted to an external shear strain. We show that the anisotropy introduced by the shear strain can be simply addressed by moving into the co-shearing frame, leading to simple dynamical mean field equations in the limit ${d\to\infty}$. The dynamics is then controlled by a single one-dimensional effective stochastic process which depends on three distinct strain-dependent kernels - self-consistently determined by the process itself - encoding the effective restoring force, friction and noise terms due to the particle interactions. From there one can compute dynamical observables such as particle mean-square displacements and shear stress fluctuations, and eventually aim at providing an exact ${d \to \infty}$ benchmark for liquid and glass rheology. As an application of our results, we derive dynamically the 'state-following' equations that describe the static response of a glass to a finite shear strain until it yields.

description: While the city of Detroit has become infamous in recent years as symbol of urban decline, it once stood as an international archetype of industrial productivity. When attempting to formulate redevelopment programs, it is essential to re­‐examine the underpinnings of the production model that created both tremendous economic success, and subsequent vulnerability and decline. This thesis argues that rather than trying to recreate a scenario of productive superiority, Detroit can develop more resilient and community-­oriented models of production. By looking at several such production models already occurring on the ground throughout the city, this thesis will attempt to outline an alternative trajectory for economic development.

description: The Pinchi Lake mine operated from 1940 to 1944, and again between 1968 and 1975. Between 2010 and 2012, the mine underwent decommissioning and reclamation. This paper reviews the development of the plans for on-site disposal of demolition debris from decommissioning of the infrastructure including the ore processing and roasting facilities. This paper describes: the investigations by Teck to evaluate disposal options, including identification of the challenges associated with the recycling of scrap metal that could potentially be contaminated with mercury; the involvement of local First Nations in the process; and, the subsequent evaluation of on-site disposal options. The selected on-site disposal option of backfilling part of an open pit with the debris and waste rock was accepted by the First Nations and was also approved by the regulators. The design of the landfill, the waste testing and emplacement requirements and the results of the environmental monitoring are provided.

description: Mainstream among topological insulators, GaSb/InAs quantum wells present a broken gap alignment for the energy bands which supports the quantum spin Hall insulator phase and forms an important building block in the search of exotic states of matter. Such structures allow the band-gap inversion with electrons and holes confined in adjacent layers, providing a fertile ground to tune the corresponding topological properties. Using a full 3D 8-band ${\bf k}\cdot{\bf p}$ method we investigate the inverted band structure of GaSb/InAs/GaSb and InAs/GaSb/InAs multilayers and the behavior of the helical edge states, under the influence of an electric field applied along the growth direction. By tuning the electric field modulus, we induce the change of the energy levels of both conduction and valence bands, resulting in a quantum spin Hall insulator phase where the helical edge states are predominantly confined in the GaSb layer. In particular, we found that InAs/GaSb/InAs has a large hybridization gap of about $12\,\textrm{meV}$ and, therefore, are promising to observe massless Dirac fermions with a large Fermi velocity. Our comprehensive characterization of GaSb/InAs multilayers creates a basis platform upon which further optimization of III-V heterostructures can be contrasted.

description: We study axion-dilaton cosmologies derived from the low-energy string effective action. We present the classical homogeneous Friedmann-Robertson-Walker solutions and derive the semi-classical perturbation spectra in the dilaton, axion and moduli fields in the pre-Big Bang scenario. By constructing the unique S-duality invariant field perturbations for the axion and dilaton fields we derive S-duality invariant solutions, valid when the axion field is time-dependent as well as in a dilaton-vacuum cosmology. Whereas the dilaton and moduli fields have steep blue perturbation spectra (with spectral index n=4) we find that the axion spectrum depends upon the expansion rate of the internal dimensions (0.54

Power Dynamics in Three Cases of Participatory Artworks

Subjectivity in art

description: This research investigates how power dynamics function in three cases of participatory art, each created by a different artist. Participatory art (PA) is understood as art whose physical or visual properties are shaped or altered by the viewers’ engagement. The study responds to the fact that discourses on PA often refer to the emancipation of participants. Rooted in concepts from Foucauldian biopolitics, the research also assumes that PA inevitably involves a distribution of power among artists and participants, which often vacillates between cultivation and instrumentalization. Data for this qualitative, multi-case study were collected through interviews with the three artists and with three viewers of each studied work. The researcher’s memories of her participatory experiences in the studied artworks, captured in a journal, were also considered as data. Detailed narrative findings illustrate how artists’ and viewers’ positions in relation to particular works are never detached from the art systems that frame them. Yet, these positions are not necessarily static and can shift in significant ways. Therefore, the balance between cultivation and instrumentalization can change from work to work, from participant to participant, and from situation to situation. The study shines a light on the potential of critical reflection, enacted once artists and viewers “step out” of the work, for realizing, questioning, and critiquing the conditions of participatory artworks. The researcher suggests that it is in such reflective spaces that awareness of one’s power within a work, and the emancipation that follows, are more likely to occur.

description: This dissertation is a history of efforts to develop the Litani River in Lebanon. Under French rule (1920–43), development projects shaped an unequal distribution of infrastructure that privileged Christian and urban regions. A cohort of nationalist Lebanese engineers advocated developing the Litani River, in Lebanon’s Shi‘a-majority southwest, as a means to foster national unity by resolving inequalities among Lebanon’s religious communities. The resulting Litani project (1955–65) was Lebanon’s first grand-scale hydroelectric project. The United States, France, and the World Bank made the project central to their respective strategies in the decolonizing Middle East. Lebanese engineers competed and collaborated with European and American experts to design infrastructure that connected the Litani, and Lebanon’s hinterland, with the capital, Beirut. Economists, religious leaders, farmers, and communists debated infrastructure designs in Beirut’s bourgeoning public sphere. The completed infrastructure generated electricity for Beirut’s consumers by extracting water from the impoverished rural margins. The World Bank deemed the project a qualified success as an investment. But most in Lebanon considered it a monumental failure because the infrastructure did not meet urgent needs. Rather, the infrastructure materialized preexisting inequalities between Beirut and its peripheries, which provided a visible injustice that a rural Shi‘i political-religious movement mobilized to demand equal rights. Unlike familiar histories of development in which rural communities resist state intrusion, in Lebanon, rural actors and engineers sought to build a larger and more equitable state by constructing socially just infrastructure.
