Parenting in mothers with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
Creators: name: Murray, Candice
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A limited number of controlled research studies indicate that inattentive and hyperactive/impulsive behaviour in parents may interfere with their ability to manage their children's behaviour. The goal of this dissertation was to examine the impact of maternal Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) on important parenting behaviours. Sixty mothers between the ages of 31 and 50 with (n= 30) and without (n= 30) ADHD and their 8 to 14 year-old children with ADHD completed a series of self-report and laboratory measures designed to measure maternal monitoring of child behavior, consistency in parenting, and parenting problem-solving abilities. These parenting behaviours were selected because of their established links to the development of child behaviour problems. As predicted, mothers with ADHD were found to be poorer at monitoring child behaviour and less consistent disciplinarians compared to mothers without ADHD. There was some evidence to support the prediction that mothers with ADHD were less effective at problem-solving about childrearing issues than control mothers. The differences found between the two groups of mothers persisted after child oppositional and conduct disordered behaviour were controlled. These results indicate that parenting is an area of functioning that requires more attention in adult ADHD research. Future studies are needed to investigate areas of challenge, and strength, among parents with ADHD.
The QCD phase diagram: A comparison of lattice and hadron resonance gas model calculations

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We compare the lattice results on QCD phase diagram for two and three flavors with the hadron resonance gas model (HRGM) calculations. Lines of constant energy density $ε$ have been determined at different baryo-chemical potentials $μ_B$. For the strangeness chemical potentials $μ_S$, we use two models. In one model, we explicitly set $μ_S=0$ for all temperatures and baryo-chemical potentials. This assignment is used in lattice calculations. In the other model, $μ_S$ is calculated in dependence on $T$ and $μ_B$ according to the condition of vanishing strangeness. We also derive an analytical expression for the dependence of $T_c$ on $μ_B/T$ by applying Taylor expansion of $ε$. In both cases, we compare HRGM results on $T_c-μ_B$ diagram with the lattice calculations. The agreement is excellent, especially when the trigonometric function of $ε$ is truncated up to the same order as done in lattice simulations. For studying the efficiency of the truncated Taylor expansion, we calculate the radius of convergence. For zero- and second-order radii, the agreement with lattice is convincing. Furthermore, we make predictions for QCD phase diagram for non-truncated expressions and physical masses. These predictions are to be confirmed by heavy-ion experiments and future lattice calculations with very small lattice spacing and physical quark masses.

description: This report examines the likely effects of additional agricultural water rights under the Columbia River Initiative (CRI) on net crop revenues (hay, orchards, vegetables, potatoes, wheat, and other crops) in the state of Washington over the next 20 years. This study corrects for four potentially serious methodological flaws made in two previous studies associated with the CRI and concludes that those studies substantially overestimated the net revenues accruing to producers in the Columbia River area from new irrigated acreage under the CRI. In fact, the net revenues are more likely to be negative than positive. Methodological errors made in the two previous studies lead to results that support a policy prescription that is just the opposite of what would be in the best economic interest of the state of Washington and the Columbia River region.

description: Artificial microswimmers, or "microbots" have the potential to revolutionise non-invasive medicine and microfluidics. Microbots that are powered by self-phoretic mechanisms, such as Janus particles, often harness a solute fuel in their environment. Traditionally, self-phoretic particles are point-like, but slender phoretic rods have become an increasingly prevalent design. While there has been substantial interest in creating efficient asymptotic theories for slender phoretic rods, hitherto such theories have been restricted to straight rods with axisymmetric patterning. However, modern manufacturing methods will soon allow fabrication of slender phoretic filaments with complex three-dimensional shape. In this paper, we develop a slender body theory for the solute of self-diffusiophoretic filaments of arbitrary three-dimensional shape and patterning. We demonstrate analytically that, unlike other slender body theories, first-order azimuthal variations arising from curvature and confinement can have a leading order contribution to the swimming kinematics.

description: We probed for Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) for the three potential Galactic Emission Mapping Experiment (GEM) sites at Portugal using custom made omnidirectional disconic antennas. For the installation of a 10-meter dish dedicated to the mapping of Polarized Galactic Emission foreground planned for 2005-2007 in the 5-10 GHz band, the three sites chosen as suitable to host the antenna were surveyed for local radio pollution in the frequency range [0.01-10] GHz. Tests were done to look for radio broadcasting and mobile phone emission lines in the radio spectrum. The results show one of the sites to be almost entirely RFI clean and showing good conditions to host the experiment.

Targeting Akt signaling in breast cancer : expression of phosphorylated Akt in breast tumors and the efficacy of celecoxib analogues as potential inhibitors of Akt activation
Creators: name: Kucab, Jill
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Constitutive activation of Akt, due to overexpression of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) or loss of phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN), contributes to the development of breast cancer and confers resistance to conventional therapies. Therefore, the Akt signaling pathway is an attractive target for therapeutic intervention. Utilizing tumor tissue microarrays we show that 58% (225/390) of breast cancers express moderate to high levels of activated Akt (P-Akt), compared with 35% (9/26) of normal breast tissues. Additionally we find that P-Akt expression in primary breast cancer is significantly correlated with the expression of three RTKs, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2), insulin like growth factor receptor-1 (IGF-1R) and ephrin receptor EphA2, as well as integrin-linked kinase (ILK) and the transcription factors growth factor independence 1 (GFI-1) and Y box-binding protein-1 (YB-1). Further, we examined the potential of three celecoxib analogues for the treatment of breast cancers expressing P-Akt. We found that all three analogues, OSU-03008, OSU-03012, and OSU-03013, were able to disrupt Akt signaling in the MDA-MB-453 breast cancer cell line, which overexpresses HER-2 and has very high P-Akt levels. Treating the cells for two hours with the compounds inhibited Akt phosphorylation and kinase activity, as well as its downstream signaling through glycogen synthase kinase- 3β (GSK3-β), at concentrations well below that of celecoxib (≤10 μM). Disruption of Akt phosphorylation by OSU-03012 and OSU-03013 was followed by an induction of apoptosis after 12 to 24 hours, whereas OSU-03008 did not cause cell death. When tested against a panel of three other breast cancer cell lines, OSU-03012 and OSU 03013 (but not OSU-03008) were found to reduce viability in cell lines which did not constitutively express P-Akt (MDA-MB-231, MCF-7). Overexpression of constitutively activated Akt in the MDA-MB-453 or MCF-7 cells was not able to rescue cells from the cytotoxicity of OSU-03012 or OSU-03013. These data suggest that the celecoxib analogues are potentially useful for inhibiting Akt signaling in breast cancer, although it appears that the cytotoxic effects of OSU-03012 and OSU-03013 occur through additional targets. These inhibitors could hopefully be used in combination with other therapies to bypass Akt-mediated drug resistance.

description: We consider the origin of the so-called S stars orbiting the supermassive black hole at the very center of the Galaxy. These are usually assumed to be massive main-sequence stars. We argue instead that they are the remnants of low-to-intermediate mass red giants which have been scattered on to near-radial orbits and tidally stripped as they approach the central black hole. Such stars retain only low-mass envelopes and thus have high effective temperatures. Our picture simultaneously explains why S stars have tightly-bound orbits, and the observed depletion of red giants in the very center of the Galaxy.

While the goal for each agribusiness is economic profit, we find that this goal is not inconsistent with wealth creation among LIS. We use the agribusiness chain analytical framework to identify the roles played by LIS in the ventures studied, and we explore the ways in which LIS inclusion has influenced the performance of the agribusiness chains and contributed to their competitiveness.

To analyze floriculture demand, we estimate and use simulation analysis to decompose it into market penetration and buying frequency. Understanding what are the factors that influence non-buyers of floral products to become buyers, and the factors that influence current buyers to increase their expenditures on floral products is vital information that the industry can use to design specific programs targeting different demographic groups according to their specific preferences for flowers.

description: We demonstrate that effects of spin-orbit coupling and inversion asymmetry exist in a single GdFeCo ferrimagnetic layer, even without a heavy metal interface. We use electric transport measurements to quantify the spin-orbit torques. We measure the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction using Brillouin light scattering measurement technique, and we observe the resulting chiral magnetic textures using x-ray PEEM microscopy. We attribute these effects to a composition variation along the thickness, that we observed by scanning transmission electron microscopy. We show that these effects can be optimized by varying the GdFeCo thickness or by combining them with interfacial effects.

The perfect agreement between the two approaches is demonstrated for several optical lattice depths and throughout the full crossover from the 1D mean-field to the Thomas Fermi regime in the radial direction.

description: This paper analyses a productive opportunity taken by a family-owned Brazilian soybean crusher (Imcopa) as it adapted its production system to sell certified non-GM soybeans products. Imcopa was Brazil’s first soybean crusher to implement a non-GM soybean traceability and certification system, in 1998. It is now held to be the world’s largest non-GM lecithin exporter. The analysis adopted here is based on a microeconomic perspective of productive opportunities identified by the firm, which goes beyond a simple balance-sheet approach. Four fundamental elements were used to guide the analysis: benefit-cost ratio; information asymmetry; bounded rationality; and company’s growth. The possibility of selling non-GM soy and soybean products on the international market has provided Imcopa with access to an even broader commercial network of feed and food products. This has given the company a better outlook on why it should diversify its activities and intensify its pace of growth.

description: Post starburst E+A galaxies are systems that hosted a powerful starburst that was quenched abruptly. Simulations suggest that these systems provide the missing link between major merger ULIRGs and red and dead ellipticals, where AGN feedback is responsible for the expulsion or destruction of the molecular gas. However, many details remain unresolved and little is known about AGN-driven winds in this short-lived phase. We present spatially-resolved IFU spectroscopy with MUSE/VLT of SDSS J124754.95-033738.6, a post starburst E+A galaxy with a recent starburst that started 70 Myrs ago and ended 30 Myrs ago, with a peak SFR of $\sim 150\,\mathrm{M_{\odot}/yr}$. We detect disturbed gas throughout the entire field of view, suggesting triggering by a minor merger. We detect fast-moving multi-phased gas clouds, embedded in a double-cone face-on outflow, which are traced by ionized emission lines and neutral NaID \emph{emission} and absorption lines. We find remarkable similarities between the kinematics, spatial extents, and line luminosities of the ionized and neutral gas phases, and propose a model in which they are part of the same outflowing clouds, which are exposed to both stellar and AGN radiation. Our photoionization model provides consistent ionized line ratios, NaID absorption optical depths and EWs, and dust reddening. Using the model, we estimate, for the first time, the neutral-to-ionized gas mass ratio (about 20), the sodium neutral fraction, and the size of the outflowing clouds. This is one of the best ever observed direct connections between the neutral and ionized outflow phases in AGN.

description: A strongly momentum-dependent dressed-quark mass function is basic to QCD. It is central to the appearance of a constituent-quark mass-scale and an existential prerequisite for Goldstone modes. Dyson-Schwinger equation (DSEs) studies have long emphasised this importance, and have proved that QCD's Goldstone modes are the only pseudoscalar mesons to possess a nonzero leptonic decay constant in the chiral limit when chiral symmetry is dynamically broken, while the decay constants of their radial excitations vanish. Such features are readily illustrated using a rainbow-ladder truncation of the DSEs. In this connection we find (in GeV): f_{eta_c(1S)}= 0.233, m_{eta_c(2S)}=3.42; and support for interpreting eta(1295), eta(1470) as the first radial excitations of eta(548), eta'(958), respectively, and K(1460) as the first radial excitation of the kaon. Moreover, such radial excitations have electromagnetic diameters greater than 2fm. This exceeds the spatial length of lattices used typically in contemporary lattice-QCD.

description: Deep neural networks and other sophisticated machine learning models are widely applied to biomedical signal data because they can detect complex patterns and compute accurate predictions. However, the difficulty of interpreting such models is a limitation, especially for applications involving high-stakes decision, including the identification of bacterial infections. In this paper, we consider fast Raman spectroscopy data and demonstrate that a logistic regression model with carefully selected features achieves accuracy comparable to that of neural networks, while being much simpler and more transparent. Our analysis leverages wavelet features with intuitive chemical interpretations, and performs controlled variable selection with knockoffs to ensure the predictors are relevant and non-redundant. Although we focus on a particular data set, the proposed approach is broadly applicable to other types of signal data for which interpretability may be important.

Emotional fit in the workplace : its psychological and behavioural outcomes
Creators: name: Ozcelik, Hakan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Prior research has looked at emotions in organizational life mostly at the individual level, providing us with little information about their role as a contextual factor in organizations. In this dissertation, I sought to fill this gap by developing the concept of emotional fit which I define as the congruence between the activation levels of an employee's affective trait and the emotional climate of their workplace environment. Drawing on a number of streams of research including the circumplex model of affect, activation theory, emotional exhaustion, psychological safety, and ego depletion theory, I developed and empirically tested a model analyzing how emotional fit affects an employee's psychological and behavioral engagement at work. The model proposes that emotional fit is positively related to an employee's connection with others, connection with work, and performance through the mediating effects of emotional exhaustion and psychological safety. To test the theoretical model, I conducted a cross-level field study. The research design is cross-level in that one component (i.e. emotional climate) of the independent variable (i.e. emotional fit) was analyzed at the level of the workplace context and then was compared with the other component (i.e. affective trait), measured at the level of the individual employee. I collected data from 257 employees within 40 work units across a variety of companies operating in sectors such as trade, forestry, high-tech, finance, and courier service. The data regarding the task and role performance of employees were collected from supervisors. Overall, the results show that an employee's degree of emotional fit is positively related to his/her psychological engagement at work with regards to connection with others and connection with work, but not task and role performance. In terms of connection with others, emotional fit was positively related to commitment and negatively related to surface acting. As for the connection with work domain, emotional fit was negatively related to psychological withdrawal behaviors and intention for turnover. Supporting the theoretical model, these relationships were mediated by emotional exhaustion and psychological safety.

description: Mezcal is an alcoholic beverage produced only in selected regions of Mexico under appellation of origin status from the Word Intellectual Property Organization. While it has been produced in Mexico for many centuries, mezcal’s appellation of origin was only granted in 1995. Therefore efforts to produce and market it as a premium product have a relatively short history. This case study examines developments in the production and marketing of this unique product, and the activities of the marketing cooperative El Tecuán in Guerrero State in this process.
Galectin-1 in injury and regeneration
Creators: name: McGraw, John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In higher vertebrates, injury to both sensory and motor axons within the central nervous system (CNS) results in permanent loss of sensation and paralysis. In contrast, peripheral nervous system (PNS) injuries are often followed by functional recovery. This disparity in the regenerative ability of the PNS and CNS is attributed to both the intrinsic gene response of injured neurons and the environment across which an injured axon must extend in order for successful regeneration to occur. Recent reports demonstrate that the carbohydrate-binding protein galectin (Gal)-l, which is expressed during the development of sensory and motor neurons and in the mature adult, is involved in regrowth of axotomized neurons following a peripheral nerve injury. Specifically, exogenous application of recombinant Gall to injured peripheral nerves increased the rate of axonal growth into acellular grafts. However, the axotomy-induced changes of endogenous neuronal Gall expression have not been examined. In this thesis, I demonstrate that axotomized neurons that were able to regenerate or initiate a growth response also had increased Gall expression. Gall returned to uninjured levels upon target re-innervation suggesting that the target may partially regulate Gall expression. Furthermore, homozygous Gall null mutant (-/-) mice showed an attenuated rate of functional recovery after a nerve crush. I also examined sensory responses of Gall -/- mice, since Gall is expressed during sensory neuronal development as well as within the adult dorsal root ganglion (DRG). The absence of Gall in the Gall -/- mouse led to an increased threshold for thermal nociceptive stimuli. This correlated with differences in nociceptive neuron proportions and their pattern of termination within the spinal cord. Taken together these data underscore an important contribution of endogenous Gall to the regenerative process and to sensory neuronal development and/or maintenance.

description: Arches and Quintuplet are two young, massive clusters projected near the Galactic Center. To date, studies focused on understanding their origin have been based on proper motions (PMs) derived in the clusters' reference frames and required some assumptions about their 3D motion. In this paper, we combine public PM catalogs of these clusters with the Gaia DR2 catalog and, for the first time, transform the relative PMs of the Arches and Quintuplet clusters onto an absolute reference system. We find that the absolute PM of the Arches is $(μ_α\cosδ,μ_δ)$ $=$ $(-1.45\ \pm\ 0.23,-2.68\ \pm\ 0.14)$ mas yr$^{-1}$, and that of the Quintuplet is $(μ_α\cosδ,μ_δ)$ $=$ $(-1.19\ \pm\ 0.09,-2.66\ \pm \ 0.18)$ mas yr$^{-1}$. These values suggest that these systems are moving almost parallel to the Galactic plane. A measurement of the clusters' distances is still required to meaningfully constrain the clusters' orbits and shed light on the origin of the Arches and Quintuplet.

The Hierarchy Problem and an Exotic Bound State

description: The Multiple Point Principle, according to which there exist many vacuum states with the same energy density, is put forward as a fine-tuning mechanism. By assuming the existence of three degenerate vacua, we derive the hierarchical ratio between the fundamental (Planck) and electroweak scales in the Standard Model. In one of these phases, 6 top quarks and 6 anti-top quarks bind so strongly by Higgs exchange as to become tachyonic and form a condensate. The third degenerate vacuum is taken to have a Higgs field expectation value of the order of the fundamental scale.

Surface reconstruction and ferroelectricity in PbTiO$_3$ thin films

description: Surface and ferroelectric properties of PbTiO$_3$ thin films are investigated using an interatomic potential approach with parameters computed from first-principles calculations. We show that a model developed for the bulk describes properly the surface properties of PbTiO$_3$. In particular, the antiferrodistortive surface reconstruction, recently observed from X-ray scattering, is correctly reproduced as a result of the change in the balance of long-range Coulombic and short-range interactions at the surface. The effects of the surface reconstruction on the ferroelectric properties of ultrathin films are investigated. Under the imposed open-circuit electrical boundary conditions, the model gives a critical thickness for ferroelectricity of 4 unit cells. The surface layer, which forms the antiferrodistortive reconstruction, participates in the ferroelectricity. A decrease in the tetragonality of the films leads to the stabilization of a phase with non-vanishing in-plane polarization. A peculiar effect of the surface reconstruction on the in-plane polarization profile is found.

description: We show how fundamental ideas from signal processing, multiscale theory and wavelets may be applied to non-linear dynamics. The problems from dynamics include iterated function systems (IFS), dynamical systems based on substitution such as the discrete systems built on rational functions of one complex variable and the corresponding Julia sets, and state spaces of subshifts in symbolic dynamics. Our paper serves to motivate and survey our recent results in this general area. Hence we leave out some proofs, but instead add a number of intuitive ideas which we hope will make the subject more accessible to researchers in operator theory and systems theory.
description: survey. v2: We have polished the writing and corrected some of the cross references and citations; and v2 has an acknowledgment paragraph added. Moreover, the ms has been converted to Birkhauser/OT style files. v3: added discussion of general themes of operator theory and how they complement the particular structure arising from multiscale theory, p. 22; regularized subsection numbering throughout; corrected some misspellings
Molecular dynamics and theory for the contact values of the radial distribution functions of hard-disk fluid mixtures

description: We report molecular dynamics results for the contact values of the radial distribution functions of binary additive mixtures of hard disks. The simulation data are compared with theoretical predictions from expressions proposed by Jenkins and Mancini [J. Appl. Mech. \textbf{54}, 27 (1987)] and Santos et al. [J. Chem. Phys. \textbf{117}, 5785 (2002)]. Both theories agree quantitatively within a very small margin, which renders the former still a very useful and simple tool to work with. The latter (higher-order and self-consistent) theory provides a small qualitative correction for low densities and is superior especially in the high-density domain.
