Managing data updates and transformations : a study of the what and how
Creators: name: Wong, Jessica Hei-Man
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Cleaning data (i.e., making sure data contains no errors) can take a large part of a project’s lifetime and cost. As dirty data can be introduced into a system through user actions (e.g., accidental rewrite of a value or simply incorrect information), or through the process of data integration, datasets require a constant iterative process of collecting, transforming, storing, and cleaning. In fact, it has been estimated that 80% of a project’s development and cost is spent on data cleaning. The research we are undertaking seeks to improve this process for users who are using a centralized database. While expert users may be able to write a script or use a database to help manage, verify, and correct their data, non-computer experts often lack these skills and thus, trawling through a large dataset is no easy feat for them. Non-expert users may lack the skills to effectively find what they need and often may not even be able to efficiently find the starting point of their data exploration task. They may look at a piece of data and be unsure of whether or not this piece of data is worth trusting (i.e., how reliable and accurate is it?). This thesis focuses on a system that facilitates this data verification and update process to help minimize the amount of effort and time put in to help clean the data. Most of our effort concentrated on building this system and working on the details needed to make it work. The system has a small visualization component designed to help users determine the transformation process that a piece of data has gone through. We want to show users when a piece of data was created along with what changes users have made to it along the way. To evaluate this system, an accuracy test was run on the system to determine if it could successfully manage updates. A user study was run to evaluate the visualization portion of the system.

description: In a previous paper, we discussed an original solution to improve the performances of coronagraphs by adding, in the optical scheme, an adaptive hologram removing most of the residual speckle starlight. In our simulations, the detection limit in the flux ratio between a host star and a very near planet (5 lambda/D) improves over a factor 1000 (resp. 10000) when equipped with a hologram for cases of wavefront bumpiness imperfections of lambda/20 (resp. lambda/100). We derive, in this paper, the transmission accuracy required on the hologram pixels to achieve such goals. We show that preliminary tests could be performed on the basis of existing technologies.

description: Excerpts from the report Summary: A prototype hydrohandling system for sorting and sizing apples before storage was designed, constructed, and installed at a commercial apple packing and storage house. The system was based on completed research covering the development of a Irydrohandling system for sorting and sizing apples for storage in pallet boxes. Following installation, the system was tested under commercial conditions to evaluate its performance. After initial tests, further modifications to the system were made and tested. The system was designed to permit sorting, sizing, and filling apples back into pallet boxes at a rate of 600 bushels per hour. Test runs indicated that this volume of fruit could be handled by the system.

description: The dataset consists of manuscript descriptions carried out by Dr Alpo Honkapohja during library work undertaken as a part of a project funded from the Neil Ker Memorial Fund. The project focuses on the most popular plague treatise in medieval England, attributed to John of Burgundy. The treatise survives in more than one hundred manuscripts, whose transmission and relations are so far only incompletely understood. Despite its ubiquity the treatise is often treated by cataloguers in haphazard fashion, because the JB treatise was frequently copied in manuscripts later than the main text where space permitted or was part of an independent booklet that was bound together with earlier or later texts. The descriptions identify and describe codicological units containing a copy of the Middle English or Latin short version of the JB treatise.
Shocks and Thermal Conduction Fronts in Retracting Reconnected Flux Tubes

description: We present a model for plasma heating produced by time-dependent, spatially localized reconnection within a flare current sheet separating skewed magnetic fields. The reconnection creates flux tubes of new connectivity which subsequently retract at Alfvénic speeds from the reconnection site. Heating occurs in gas-dynamic shocks which develop inside these tubes. Here we present generalized thin flux tube equations for the dynamics of reconnected flux tubes, including pressure-driven parallel dynamics as well as temperature dependent, anisotropic viscosity and thermal conductivity. The evolution of tubes embedded in a uniform, skewed magnetic field, following reconnection in a patch, is studied through numerical solutions of these equations, for solar coronal conditions. Even though viscosity and thermal conductivity are negligible in the quiet solar corona, the strong gas-dynamic shocks generated by compressing plasma inside reconnected flux tubes generate large velocity and temperature gradients along the tube, rendering the diffusive processes dominant. They determine the thickness of the shock that evolves up to a steady-state value, although this condition may not be reached in the short times involved in a flare. For realistic solar coronal parameters, this steady-state shock thickness might be as long as the entire flux tube. For strong shocks at low Prandtl numbers, typical of the solar corona, the gas-dynamic shock consists of an isothermal sub-shock where all the compression and cooling occur, preceded by a thermal front where the temperature increases and most of the heating occurs. We estimate the length of each of these sub-regions and the speed of their propagation.

description: Knowledge compilation is an approach to tackle the computational intractability of general reasoning problems. According to this approach, knowledge bases are converted off-line into a target compilation language which is tractable for on-line querying. Reduced ordered binary decision diagram (ROBDD) is one of the most influential target languages. We generalize ROBDD by associating some implied literals in each node and the new language is called reduced ordered binary decision diagram with implied literals (ROBDD-L). Then we discuss a kind of subsets of ROBDD-L called ROBDD-i with precisely i implied literals (0 \leq i \leq \infty). In particular, ROBDD-0 is isomorphic to ROBDD; ROBDD-\infty requires that each node should be associated by the implied literals as many as possible. We show that ROBDD-i has uniqueness over some specific variables order, and ROBDD-\infty is the most succinct subset in ROBDD-L and can meet most of the querying requirements involved in the knowledge compilation map. Finally, we propose an ROBDD-i compilation algorithm for any i and a ROBDD-\infty compilation algorithm. Based on them, we implement a ROBDD-L package called BDDjLu and then get some conclusions from preliminary experimental results: ROBDD-\infty is obviously smaller than ROBDD for all benchmarks; ROBDD-\infty is smaller than the d-DNNF the benchmarks whose compilation results are relatively small; it seems that it is better to transform ROBDDs-\infty into FBDDs and ROBDDs rather than straight compile the benchmarks.

description: The economic engineering method is used to develop processing and fixed investment costs for instantized nonfat dry milk powder. Total cost is analyzed on the basis of milk powder processed and packaged in one type of consumer package--a 20-quart (4-pound) carton. Results indicate that raw material costs represent more than four-fifths of total cost, with packaging costs accounting for 10 percent, and instantizing and administrative expenses making up the balance. Cost centers are developed for administration, powder handling, instantizing, and packaging.

Nucleation of liquid droplets in a fluid with competing interactions

description: Using a simple density functional theory (DFT) we determine the height of the free energy barrier for forming a droplet of the liquid phase from the metastable gas phase for a model colloidal fluid exhibiting competing interactions. The pair potential has a hard core of diameter σ, is attractive Yukawa at intermediate separations, and is repulsive Yukawa at large separations. We find that even a very weak long-range repulsive tail in the pair potential has a profound effect on nucleation: increasing the amplitude of the repulsive Yukawa tail reduces significantly the free energy barrier height and therefore increases the liquid droplet nucleation rate. The method we introduce for calculating the droplet density profile and free energy employs a fictitious external potential to stabilize a liquid droplet of the desired size, i.e. with a given excess number of particles. For the critical droplet, corresponding to an extremum of the grand potential, this fictitious potential is everywhere zero. We examine the decay of the droplet density profiles into the bulk gas. For a range of nucleation state points the DFT predicts exponentially damped, long wavelength oscillatory decay for systems exhibiting long-range repulsion, contrasting sharply with the monotonic decay found when the pair potential has only an attractive Yukawa piece. The changes in nucleation properties that we find for small amplitudes of the repulsive Yukawa tail reflect the propensity of the fluid to form modulated structures such as clusters or stripes.

An investigation of highbush blueberry floral biology and reproductive success in British Columbia
Creators: name: Huber, Gwendolyn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Vaccinium corymbosum (highbush blueberry) is and economically important crop in British Columbia and suffers from inconsistent and often inadequate pollination by the managed pollinator, the honeybee. The outcrossing strategy of blueberry requires a pollen vector; however honeybees are inefficient and choosey. One goal of this research was to investigate the variable attractiveness of blueberry flowers to pollinators, specifically focusing on odour, and the possibilities for improved pollination. Highbush blueberry flowers emit a wide range of volatile compounds that show heritability in the broad-sense. However, determining which compounds are important to pollinators is a challenging task and remains poorly understood. Pollinator choice was examined through monitoring of pollinators as well as determination of pollen movement through paternity analysis. There was no agreement between the analyses, which show that the genotypes Duke and Reka appear to attract more pollinators but the most common fathers are Bluecrop and Elliott. A second goal of this research was to examine reproductive success; and the discrepancy between attraction and reproduction could be due in part to the range in fertility observed among highbush blueberry genotypes. Inbreeding depression due to the use of a narrow breeding pool to develop genotypes is a potential cause of the observed range in fertility and offspring vigour. The degree to which inbreeding will increase homozygosity depends on the inheritance pattern of the tetraploid highbush blueberry; however, the current levels of inbreeding limit an accurate description of the inheritance pattern.

Subjects: subject: Databases (cs.DB)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The data warehouse (DW) technology was developed to integrate heterogeneous information sources for analysis purposes. Information sources are more and more autonomous and they often change their content due to perpetual transactions (data changes) and may change their structure due to continual users' requirements evolving (schema changes). Handling properly all type of changes is a must. In fact, the DW which is considered as the core component of the modern decision support systems has to be update according to different type of evolution of information sources to reflect the real world subject to analysis. The goal of this paper is to propose an overview and a comparative study between different works related to the DW evolution problem.

If one assumes that the equations of viscous hydrodynamics can be used, with p=epsilon/3 and zero bulk viscosity, then the flow I describe can be developed into an exact solution of the relativistic Navier-Stokes equations. The local four-velocity in the flow is entirely determined by the assumption of symmetry under a subgroup of the conformal group.

description: Seasonal retail demand for fresh apples was estimated for 1963/64-1969/70 with linear regressions of U.S. average monthly retail prices on monthly net per capita fresh movement. After remaining essentially unchanged from 1963/64 through 1965/66, demand increased during 1966/67-1968/69. By 1968/69, a given level of per capita consumption was maintained at a price about 3 cents a pound higher (deflated) than in 1963/64. The apparent, sharp decrease in demand that followed in 1969/70 probably reflected lower quality more than a real change in demand. Intraseasonal demand was presented in terms of price flexibilities calculated at four levels of net movement. These levels represented average net movement in each of four 3-month time periods. Flexibilities trended downward during the seven seasons studied. By 1968/69, they ranged from -0.3727 in September-November to -0.0431 in June-August. Total retail revenue would have been increased by additional movement in all time periods and also by reallocating supplies from fall and winter to spring and summer.

description: We consider a large class of two-lane driven diffusive systems in contact with reservoirs at their boundaries and develop a stability analysis as a method to derive the phase diagrams of such systems. We illustrate the method by deriving phase diagrams for the asymmetric exclusion process coupled to various second lanes: a diffusive lane; an asymmetric exclusion process with advection in the same direction as the first lane, and an asymmetric exclusion process with advection in the opposite direction. The competing currents on the two lanes naturally lead to a very rich phenomenology and we find a variety of phase diagrams. It is shown that the stability analysis is equivalent to an `extremal current principle' for the total current in the two lanes. We also point to classes of models where both the stability analysis and the extremal current principle fail.

description: Pricing policies are discussed as they relate to the supply and allocation of freight cars for the movement of agricultural products. Incentives guiding the allocation of empty cars--per diem, time-and-mileage car rentals, car service orders, and demurrage--have not always been adequate to ensure an equitable distribution of cars. The incentive per diem plan instituted in 1970 by the Interstate Commerce Commission is intended to increase freight car utilization by speeding up the return of general purpose boxcars during the grain harvest season when the shortage is most severe. Despite improved pricing policies, demand for freight cars will probably continue to exceed supply for several years. However, growing use of other modes of transportation for hauling agricultural products, improved railroad operations, and addition of more specialized equipment should reduce the demand for general purpose boxcars.

description: We experimentally demonstrate frequency translation of a nonclassical optical field via the Bragg scattering four-wave mixing process in a photonic crystal fiber (PCF). The high nonlinearity and the ability to control dispersion in PCF enable efficient translation between photon channels within the visible to-near-infrared spectral range, useful in quantum networks. Heralded single photons at 683 nm were translated to 659 nm with an efficiency of $28.6 \pm 2.2$ percent. Second-order correlation measurements on the 683-nm and 659-nm fields yielded $g^{(2)}_{683}(0) = 0.21 \pm 0.02$ and $g^{(2)}_{659}(0) = 0.19 \pm 0.05$ respectively, showing the nonclassical nature of both fields.

Our sample of 56 Galactic sight lines is the result of a complete search of archival STIS data for the B II 1362 resonance line, with each detection confirmed by the presence of absorption from O I 1355, Cu II 1358, and Ga II 1414 (when available) at the same velocity. Five previous measurements of interstellar B II from Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph observations are incorporated in our analysis, yielding a combined sample that more than quadruples the number of sight lines with significant boron detections. Our survey also constitutes the first extensive analysis of interstellar gallium from STIS spectra and expands on previously published results for oxygen and copper. The observations probe both high and low-density diffuse environments, allowing the density-dependent effects of interstellar depletion to be clearly identified in the gas-phase abundance data for each element. In the case of boron, the increase in relative depletion with line-of-sight density amounts to an abundance difference of 0.8 dex between the warm and cold phases of the diffuse interstellar medium. The abundance of boron in warm, low-density gas is found to be B/H = (2.4+/-0.6)*10^-10, which represents a depletion of 60% relative to the meteoritic boron abundance. Beyond the effects of depletion, our survey reveals sight lines with enhanced boron abundances that potentially trace the recent production of 11B, resulting from spallation reactions involving either cosmic rays or neutrinos. Future observations will help to disentangle the relative contributions from the two spallation channels for 11B synthesis.

description: Key establishment in sensor networks becomes a challenging problem because of the resource limitations of the sensors and also due to vulnerability to physical capture of the sensor nodes. In this paper, we propose an unconditionally secure probabilistic group-based key pre-distribution scheme for a heterogeneous wireless sensor network. The proposed scheme always guarantees that no matter how many sensor nodes are compromised, the non-compromised nodes can still communicate with 100% secrecy, i.e., the proposed scheme is always unconditionally secure against node capture attacks. Moreover, it provides significantly better trade-off between communication overhead, computational overhead, network connectivity and security against node capture as compared to the existing key pre-distribution schemes. It also supports dynamic node addition after the initial deployment of the nodes in the network.

Interplay between a hydrodynamic instability and a phase transition: the Faraday instability in dispersions of rodlike colloids

description: Strong effects of the Faraday instability on suspensions of rodlike colloidal particles are reported through measurements of the critical acceleration and of the surface wave amplitude. We show that the transition to parametrically excited surface waves displays discontinuous and hysteretic features. This subcritical behaviour is attributed to the shear-thinning properties of our colloidal suspensions thanks to a phenomenological model based on rheological data under large amplitude oscillatory shear. Birefringence measurements provide direct evidence that Faraday waves induce local nematic ordering of the rodlike colloids. While local alignment simply follows the surface oscillations for dilute, isotropic suspensions, permanent nematic patches are generated by surface waves in samples close to the isotropic-to-nematic transition and above the transition large domains align in the flow direction. This strong coupling between the fluid microstructure and a hydrodynamic instability is confirmed by numerical computations based on the microstructural response of rodlike viruses in shear flow.

The experiences of new immigrants seeking emergency healthcare in the city of Kelowna
Creators: name: Awad, Emad
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Several studies acknowledge that immigrants encounter barriers when accessing health care in large Canadian cities. Little is known about new immigrants’ access to emergency health care in mid-sized cities. This study explores the barriers faced by new immigrants when accessing emergency health care in the city of Kelowna, a mid-sized Canadian city, and the strategies new immigrants use to deal with these barriers. The data for this study were collected between April and August of 2015 through a survey of 40 new immigrants in Kelowna and follow-up interviews with a subsample of eight of the survey respondents. The results indicate that new immigrants face several barriers when accessing emergency health care in Kelowna: long wait times, perceived inadequacy of care, language barriers, lack of knowledge about the emergency care system, culturally incongruent care and perceived discrimination, and financial burdens. Additionally, the study demonstrates that a large proportion of new immigrants are not prepared to obtain health care during their first three months in Kelowna, primarily because they are unfamiliar with the emergency care services and provincial insurance policies. The province of British Columbia does not extend its health insurance coverage to immigrants during their first three months of residency and a large proportion of immigrants do not enroll in private medical insurance. Depending on the nature of the barriers to accessing emergency care, new immigrants use three main coping strategies: silence, help-seeking, and personal initiatives. Silence or non-action is a common response to system related barriers, while help-seeking is a common coping technique for non-system related barriers. Personal endeavors, such as using alternative care are commonly used by medically uninsured immigrants during their first three months in Canada while waiting for provincial insurance coverage. The results of this study yield policy and practice recommendations aiming at improving new immigrants’ access to emergency health care. Recommendations derived from the findings of this study are to reduce the wait time in emergency departments, reevaluate the policy of a three-month wait for provincial insurance coverage, educate new immigrants about the emergency care system, and improve the quality of care provided in emergency departments.

description: The giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1316 (Fornax A) is a well-studied member of the Fornax Cluster and a prolific producer of Type Ia supernovae, having hosted four observed events since 1980. Here we present detailed optical and near-infrared light curves of the spectroscopically normal SN 2006dd. These data are used, along with previously published photometry of the normal SN 1980N and SN 1981D, and the fast-declining, low-luminosity SN 2006mr, to compute independent estimates of the host reddening for each supernova, and the distance to NGC 1316. From the three normal supernovae, we find a distance of 17.8 +/- 0.3 (random) +/- 0.3 (systematic) Mpc for Ho = 72. Distance moduli derived from the "EBV" and Tripp methods give values that are mutually consistent to 4 -- 8%. Moreover, the weighted means of the distance moduli for these three SNe for three methods agree to within 3%. This consistency is encouraging and supports the premise that Type Ia supernovae are reliable distance indicators at the 5% precision level or better. On the other hand, the two methods used to estimate the distance of the fast-declining SN 2006mr both yield a distance to NGC 1316 which is 25-30% larger. This disparity casts doubt on the suitability of fast-declining events for estimating extragalactic distances. Modest-to-negligible host galaxy reddening values are derived for all four supernovae. Nevertheless, two of them (SN 2006dd and SN 2006mr) show strong NaID interstellar lines in the host galaxy system. The strength of this absorption is completely inconsistent with the small reddening values derived from the supernova light curves if the gas in NGC 1316 is typical of that found in the interstellar medium of the Milky Way. In addition, the equivalent width of the NaID lines in SN 2006dd appear to have weakened significantly some 100-150 days after explosion.
