description: How to Repeat Silence: HIV/AIDS, Queer History, and Youth in Fiction addresses the substantial gaps, omissions, and inaccuracies in how HIV/AIDS has been represented in young adult literature (YA), particularly since the advent of antiretrovirals in the mid–nineties. Utilizing creative fiction, I reframe the narrative that HIV/AIDS is a historical issue bearing no impact on individuals in the present, showcasing realistic risks of transmission and informing on modern HIV education. This project’s creative component, How to Repeat Silence, a YA novel, aims to connect young adults more intimately, and realistically, with HIV/AIDS, through the contemporary first–person story of Gabriel “Gabe” Peters – a seventeen–year–old transgender boy newly diagnosed with HIV. Upon his diagnosis he learns that his late uncle, whom he named himself for, passed away due to AIDS complications and not cancer like he thought. The novel follows Gabe as he and his family take a trip to Vancouver to learn more about Gabe’s uncle just one month prior to the thirtieth anniversary memorial they’re supposed to host. Amid connecting with old family friends, Gabe must deal with his feelings surrounding his own diagnosis, his unfolding family drama, and the secrets he’s keeping from his best friend to come to terms with what being HIV–positive means for him and his family. This project makes additional strides within young adult literature through its inclusion of a trans protagonist and queer family members, paying homage to the ways queer communities were impacted by the initial AIDS crisis in North America while retaining focus on the present. The exegesis of this project contextualizes the creative choices made through close analysis of the field of YA HIV/AIDS literature, particularly through which characters have HIV/AIDS, how these characters contracted the illness, what happens to them at the end of their stories, and what that collective narrative says about HIV/AIDS messages. An urgent and hopeful work, this project provides a fresh perspective on how we talk about HIV/AIDS, both with teenagers and culturally.

description: We report our search for and a possible detection of periodic radio pulses at 34.5 MHz from the Fermi-LAT pulsar J1732-3131. The candidate detection has been possible in only one of the many sessions of observations made with the low-frequency array at Gauribidanur, India, when the otherwise radio weak pulsar may have apparently brightened many folds. The candidate dispersion measure along the sight-line, based on the broad periodic profiles from about 20 minutes of data, is estimated to be 15.44 +/-0.32 pc/cc. We present the details of our periodic & single-pulse search, and discuss the results and their implications relevant to both, the pulsar and the intervening medium.

description: Avian influenza virus (AIV) and avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) are respiratory RNA viruses with significant economic implications due to morbidity, mortality, secondary bacterial infections, and overall decreased flock performances. Current AIV and IBV control methods have limitations and new variants continue to emerge; therefore, there is a need to develop new control strategies and gain a better understanding of host-pathogen interactions during the early stages of viral infection. Micro-ribonucleic acids (microRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression by targeting complementary messenger RNA (mRNA) sequences. MicroRNAs can be packaged into extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are membrane-encapsulated vesicles released from host cells that play a role in cell-to-cell communication and regulation. This study focuses on investigating some aspects of the antiviral response against AIV and IBV infections in chickens, focusing on the role of microRNAs. The first two objectives focused on AIV H4N6 infection of chicken tracheal organ cultures (TOCs) to determine the profile of cellular and released EV microRNAs and evaluate the proteomic signature of EVs, as well as the function of EVs on chicken macrophages. The last two objectives explored infection with different strains of IBV in a chicken tracheal epithelial cell (cTEC) in vitro model and in the chicken trachea in vivo to characterize the mRNA and microRNA expression profiles. For the AIV experiments, we demonstrated for the first time that chicken tracheal cells secrete EVs. Differentially expressed (DE) microRNAs, such as miR-146a, miR-146b, miR-205a, miR-205b, and miR-449, were identified as potential targets for further functional validation studies. We determined that released EVs contain DE proteins involved in immune responses and cell signaling pathways and showed that these EVs can activate macrophages. For the IBV experiments, we showed that IBV Delmarva (DMV)/1639 and IBV Massachusetts (Mass)41 replicate in cTECs in vitro and the trachea in vivo, inducing host mRNA and microRNA expression profiles that are strain-, time-and model-dependent. We identified the candidate DE microRNAs, such as gga-miR-155, gga-miR-1388a, gga-miR-7/7b and gga-miR-21-5p. Overall, these findings provide valuable insights into key expression profiles and underlying mechanisms involved in the antiviral response against AIV and IBV infections in chickens.

description: We propose the simplest model of teleparallel dark energy with purely a non-minimal coupling to gravity but no self-potential, a single model possessing various interesting features: simplicity, self-potential-free, the guaranteed late-time cosmic acceleration driven by the non-minimal coupling to gravity, tracker behavior of the dark energy equation of state at earlier times, a crossing of the phantom divide at a late time, and the existence of a finite-time future singularity. We find the analytic solutions of the dark-energy scalar field respectively in the radiation, matter, and dark energy dominated eras, thereby revealing the above features. We further illustrate possible cosmic evolution patterns and present the observational constraint of this model obtained by numerical analysis and data fitting.

description: We give a short summary of our recent works on the classical integrable structure of two-dimensional non-linear sigma models defined on squashed three-dimensional spheres. There are two descriptions to describe the classical dynamics, 1) the rational description and 2) the trigonometric description. It is possible to construct two different types of Lax pairs depending on the descriptions, and the classical integrability is shown by computing classical r/s-matrices satisfying the extended Yang-Baxter equation in both descriptions. In the former the system is described as an integrable system of rational type. On the other hand, in the latter it is described as trigonometric type. There exists a non-local map between the two descriptions and those are equivalent. This is a non-local generalization of the left-right duality in principal chiral models.

description: The behavior displayed by a quantum system when it is perturbed by a series of von Neumann measurements along time is analyzed. Because of the similarity between this general process with giving a deck of playing cards a shuffle, here it is referred to as quantum shuffling, showing that the quantum Zeno and anti-Zeno effects emerge naturally as two time limits. Within this framework, a connection between the gradual transition from anti-Zeno to Zeno behavior and the appearance of an underlying Markovian dynamics is found. Accordingly, although a priori it might result counterintuitive, the quantum Zeno effect corresponds to a dynamical regime where any trace of knowledge on how the unperturbed system should evolve initially is wiped out (very rapid shuffling). This would explain why the system apparently does not evolve or decay for a relatively long time, although it eventually undergoes an exponential decay. By means of a simple working model, conditions characterizing the shuffling dynamics have been determined, which can be of help to understand and to devise quantum control mechanisms in a number of processes from the atomic, molecular and optical physics.

description: We describe a reduction process for symplectic principal $\mathbb{R}$-bundles in the presence of a momentum map. This type of structures plays an important role in the geometric formulation of non-autonomous Hamiltonian systems. We apply this procedure to the standard symplectic principal $\mathbb{R}$-bundle associated with a fibration $π:M\to\mathbb{R}$. When $π$ is a principal $G$-bundle and $G_ν$ denotes the isotropy group associated with an element $ν$ in the dual to the Lie algebra of $G$, we use the reduction process in order to describe a Poisson structure on the quotient manifold $M/G_ν$ whose symplectic leaves are isomorphic to the coadjoint orbit $\mathcal{O}_ν$ . Moreover, we show a reduction process for non-autonomous Hamiltonian systems on symplectic principal $\mathbb{R}$-bundles.

description: Amidst worldwide habitat fragmentation and biodiversity loss, amphibians are the most at-risk vertebrates, with over 41% of species listed as threatened. In Alberta, long-toed salamanders, Ambystoma macrodactylum, have been listed as at-risk due to the likelihood of habitat loss and degradation, as well as their data deficiency in the province. In this thesis, I monitored 19 breeding groups of long-toed salamanders in the Bow and Kananaskis Valleys, 10 of which provided sufficient data for the further assessment of the future trajectory of the population network from multiple perspectives. I first addressed the health (scaled mass index) and stress (dermal CORT concentrations) of individuals in these breeding groups and found relatively low levels of dCORT and no significant variation in SMI or dCORT among groups. With my second objective, I investigated the potential synchrony of breeding and developmental phenology of these populations. I found breeding activity was more synchronous than larval development among these populations. Phenology of breeding and development are marginally influenced by both regional climate and local conditions. Next, I used genomic information from individuals at 12 breeding ponds to quantify the genetic structure of this network and to estimate contemporary dispersal rates among populations of interest which were then used to parameterize a population viability analysis. I did not find significant genetic differentiation among breeding ponds, or significant rates of dispersal. For my final objective, I used capture-recapture methods to estimate adult population sizes and survival rates using robust design models and accumulated other demographic rates for long-toed salamanders from published literature. I concluded this objective by running multiple stage-structured population viability analyses, to project the fate of this population network over the next 75 years under with various estimates of adult survival, dispersal, and potential drought scenarios. Collectively, these results provide a baseline for the trajectory and potential influential factors of these populations and highlight the complex and precarious nature of their future status.
Outgassing of icy bodies in the Solar System - II. Heat transport in dry, porous surface dust layers

description: In this work, we present a new model for the heat conductivity of porous dust layers in vacuum, based on an existing solution of the heat transfer equation of single spheres in contact. This model is capable of distinguishing between two different types of dust layers: dust layers composed of single particles (simple model) and dust layers consisting of individual aggregates (complex model). Additionally, we describe laboratory experiments, which were used to measure the heat conductivity of porous dust layers, in order to test the model. We found that the model predictions are in an excellent agreement with the experimental results, if we include radiative heat transport in the model. This implies that radiation plays an important role for the heat transport in porous materials. Furthermore, the influence of this new model on the Hertz factor are demonstrated and the implications of this new model on the modeling of cometary activity are discussed. Finally, the limitations of this new model are critically reviewed.

Voice-Based Discrimination: Impact on Comprehensibility and Employability Evaluations of Speakers with Multiple Voice-Signaled Stigmatized Identities

description: Voice, or the acoustic properties present in it, is a potent cue to social categorization and impression formation, potentially prompting listeners to stereotype and discriminate against speakers. This is the case, for example, for speakers who are perceived as being newcomers or gay due to their second language (L2) accent or stereotypically “gay” voice (Fasoli et al., 2017; Ryan, 1983). In this study, I examined how Calgarians’ evaluations of speaker comprehensibility and employability differ as a function of speakers’ language background, voice-signaled sexual orientation, and job type. Participants listened to audio recordings where a hypothetical job applicant answered a job interview question. Speakers differed in their language background (English vs. Spanish) and voice-signaled sexual orientation (heterosexual- vs. gay-sounding). Additionally, the target jobs differed along two continua: occupational communication demands and occupational sexual orientation stereotypicality. Generalized linear mixed-effects models revealed that speaker comprehensibility was predicted by the three-way interactions among speaker first language (L1), speaker voice-signaled sexual orientation, and job type. L1 English speakers were consistently perceived as more comprehensible than L2 English speakers. Furthermore, when applying to gay-typed jobs and jobs with high communication demands, gay- sounding speakers were rated significantly more difficult to understand than heterosexual- sounding speakers, with the gay-sounding L2 speaker receiving the lowest ratings. Speaker employability was predicted by the interaction between speakers’ L1 and voice-signaled sexual orientation, where the gay-sounding L2 speaker received significantly lower employability evaluations than speakers whose voice signaled one stigmatized identity (“newcomer” or “gay man”). Speaker employability was further predicted by the interaction between speaker sexual orientation and occupational sexual orientation stereotypicality, with gay-sounding speakers (regardless of their L1) receiving higher employability ratings if applying to gay-typed jobs in comparison with heterosexual-typed jobs. This study represents a first step in considering how intersecting language varieties that deviate from the “norm” and are associated with stigmatized groups can influence linguistic- and professional-related evaluations while also considering the effects of job type.

description: Background Fragile X Syndrome (FXS) is the most common form of inherited autism and intellectual disability, with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 4000 males and 1 in 5-8000 females in Canada. Currently, there is no available cure for FXS. Evidence in the literature has implicated the dysregulation of protein synthesis, particularly the synthesis of synaptic proteins, as a key mechanism of FXS. A key signaling pathway for protein synthesis is the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signalling pathway. There are conflicting reports in the literature on local synaptic protein synthesis levels of ERK and a lack of investigation on females. Methods and Results My experiments validated a reliable method of isolating synaptosomes, subcellular fractions of synaptic terminals, from mice brain tissue and a method of quantifying de novo protein synthesis levels, known as SUrface Sensing of Translation (SUnSET). My first research aim was to characterize protein synthesis levels and levels of ERK pathway proteins in the synaptosomes of an adult mouse model of FXS compared to the wildtype using SUnSET and western blot. We found prominent genotypic and sex differences in local protein synthesis at the synapse and in expression levels of ERK pathway proteins. My second aim was to characterize levels of synaptic proteins in the synaptosomes. My results demonstrated sex-differential results in the alterations to synaptic function, as indicated by synaptic protein expression levels, in the FXS model mice. Conclusion My study provided sex-different characterizations on local protein synthesis, ERK pathway proteins expression, and synaptic proteins in the FXS mouse model. Prominent sex differences were characterized, highlighting the need for future investigations to elucidate precise mechanisms and to account for sex differences in FXS pathophysiology.
Analysis of the Relationship between Hydraulic Fracture Pressure Trends and Facies of the Montney Formation

Subjects: subject: Geology
subject: FOS: Earth and related environmental sciences

description: This study involves the integration of multiple disciplines and utilizes a novel approach to understand how geological properties influence the behaviour of hydraulic fractures in the Lower Triassic Montney Formation in the Pouce Coupe area in Alberta. Hydraulic fracturing data presents many uncertainties, and the utilization of different datasets is important to understand the different parameters impacting hydraulic fractures. The Montney Formation is often thought to be a homogeneous siltstone unit but there are significant heterogeneities present throughout the formation which have an impact on the efficacy of hydraulic fractures. This study utilizes the patterns portrayed by pressure curves reported in each stage of a horizontal well to determine how different geological properties influence hydraulic fractures. These pressure curves prove to be a useful dataset that brings insight into how geological properties influence the behaviour of hydraulic fractures. This study investigates the pressure curves in multi-stage horizontal wells completed using different technologies and landed in the Upper, Middle, and Lower Montney members. These pressure curves portray different patterns depending on completion technology and which member the wells are landed in. There is significant variation in geological properties within the Upper, Middle, and Lower Montney thus to further analyze how geological properties influence hydraulic fractures, this study investigates pressure curves of wells landed in different facies throughout the Montney. These facies have different sedimentological heterogeneities, changing bedding plane frequency, and natural fractures and faults which form geological barriers that hinder the productivity of hydraulic fractures. Results indicate that these geological properties impact fracture initiation and propagation of hydraulic fractures based on the patterns portrayed by the different segments along the pressure curves. This research implies that pressure curves are a useful dataset that can be utilized to further understand the influence that different geological properties have on hydraulic fractures. Rather than focusing on numerical point values to provide insight into hydraulic fracture behaviour, these pressure curves analyze how pressure changes with time to visualize the evolution of induced fractures and how they transform due to variations in the reservoir geology.
Walking out with your spirit : the educational experiences of former aboriginal inmates in British Columbia prison settings as an impetus for transformational prison education
Creators: name: Gore, Aruna Jagdatt
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC), in its endeavour for rehabilitation, has neglected to find relevant solutions to address the growing statistics of incarceration in the federal prison settings as they relate to Aboriginal Peoples. The recent CSC figures (2008) state that 18% of federal inmates are Aboriginal men and 33.1% of the federal female population are Aboriginal women. This research project spotlights the federal prison education program as a medium for change and a stepping stone to enhance the lives of Aboriginal inmates after they leave the prison. Currently the Adult Basic Education program is situated inside the prison with a focus on elementary and high school. Twenty former Aboriginal inmates participated in individual interviews where they shared their lived experiences surrounding education in and out of prison. They also suggested ways that prison education could be improved. The theoretical framework focused on how education can be used as a tool for liberation as opposed to assimilation, by focusing on collaboration through dialogue, a genuine appreciation for Aboriginal culture and an understanding of the impact of colonization. The research process of building on the voices of the Aboriginal inmates to suggest and create educational frameworks in order to advance much needed educational changes in CSC is a form of taking agency and a step towards liberation. The findings of the research reveal challenges around historical and systemic barriers for the Aboriginal inmates that prevent them from participating fully in prison education. Recommendations are offered in the areas of support, educating staff on Aboriginal perspectives of justice, incorporating culture, making education mandatory and a transforming curriculum in regards to prison education for Aboriginal inmates. An Aboriginal Educational Framework (AEF) for prison education was developed in response to the participants’ suggestions and findings, the literature, and personal reflections. The AEF includes healing through emotional literacy, an emancipatory approach to pedagogy and curriculum, and strategies for transforming prison education by incorporating the suggestions from the project participants. These three key components solicit change on its own, but together they have the capacity to release the Aboriginal inmate along with their spirit.

description: We apply Coupled Cluster Method to a strongly correlated lattice and develop the Spectral Coupled Cluster equations by finding an approximation to the resolvent operator, that gives the spectral response for an certain class of probe operators. We apply the method to a $MnO_2$ plane model with a parameters choice which corresponds to previous experimental works and which gives a non-nominal symmetry ground state. We show that this state can be observed using our Spectral Coupled Cluster Method by probing the Coupled Cluster solution obtained from the nominal reference state. In this case one observes a negative energy resonance which corresponds to the true ground state.

Understanding the consequences of fisheries-related stressors on adult migrating Pacific salmon
Creators: name: Donaldson, Michael Ryan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Adult Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) are targeted by the recreational, commercial, and First Nations fisheries during their spawning migrations through the Fraser River, British Columbia, Canada. Salmon can escape from each fishery or be released either voluntarily or due to mandate. Despite a high proportion of Pacific salmon released from each fishery, the primary (e.g., catecholamine, corticosteroid), secondary (e.g., metabolic, osmoregulatory, cellular), and tertiary (e.g., behavioural, survival outcomes) responses to fisheries-related stressors remain poorly understood. The overarching hypothesis of this thesis was that fisheries-related stressors displace fish from homeostasis, resulting in primary and secondary stress responses leading to tertiary outcomes, which in turn can be countered by facilitated recovery techniques. A range of fisheries-related stressors resulted in physiological disturbances reflected by primary, secondary, and tertiary stress responses. Telemetry studies revealed delayed mortality for sockeye salmon released following angling and beach seine capture. Survival was lower for sockeye salmon released from invasive gill and tangle net capture treatments relative to beach seine treatments, and this result was population-specific. Laboratory studies investigated the time required for primary and secondary stress indices to recover following fisheries-related stressors. Biologgers showed that heart rate recovery depended on the intensity and duration of the stressor, requiring several hours. A series of indicators of primary and secondary stress, including the expression of genes related to cellular stress and cell maintenance indicated that the stress response and recovery was sex- and species-specific. A three-pronged approach was used to investigate methods for accelerating recovery and promoting survival following capture stress by combining a laboratory-based physiology study, a field-based telemetry study, and a human dimensions survey. While facilitated recovery showed encouraging results and had general support from anglers, improved techniques are required before this approach could be implemented in freshwater release fisheries. Together, these results support my hypothesis and provide evidence for the context-specific nature of the response and recovery to fisheries-related stressors. This thesis highlights that even a brief fisheries-related stressor can have profound consequences on Pacific salmon, as reflected by the tertiary stress response, including mortality.

description: Combat athletes are at a high risk for head injuries such as concussion. Recent work has uncovered that even repetitive head impacts (RHIs) may have lasting effects on cognitive, emotional, and motor function. This thesis will focus on the changes to vestibulospinal processing seen in combat athletes. Electrical vestibular stimulation (EVS) was used to evoke vestibulospinal reflexes, comparing the resulting responses between combat athletes and healthy sex/age matched controls. This is described through three separate chapters. First, I test the differences in electromyography (EMG) responses, then develop a novel EVS-induced postural sway thresholding technique, and finally investigate the EVS threshold differences between the fighters and controls. The experimental results of the first study demonstrated frequency-specific changes in vestibular sensitivity to EVS for combat athletes, via EMG responses. Combat athletes showed an increased sensitivity to low frequency EVS, and a decreased sensitivity to high frequency EVS, resulting in increased latencies on short and medium latency reflexes, scaling with increasing career RHI exposure. The second study presented shows that stochastic electric vestibular stimulation (SVS) can be used to determine EVS postural sway thresholds much lower than those that have previously been shown in the literature. The second study also shows that humans appear to be more sensitive to bipolar EVS than monopolar EVS. The third study found that combat athletes had lower EVS-induced sway thresholds using low frequency EVS than their matched controls. Taken together this thesis displays significant changes to vestibulospinal processing with increased RHI exposure in combat athletes.

description: We study the dynamics and patterning of polar contractile filaments on the surface of a cylindrical cell using active hydrodynamic equations that incorporate couplings between curvature and filament orientation. Cables and rings spontaneously emerge as steady state configurations on the cylinder, and can be stationary or moving, helical or segments moving along helical trajectories. Contractility induces coalescence of proximal rings. We observe phase transitions in the steady state patterns upon changing cell diameter and make several testable predictions. Our results are relevant to the dynamics and patterning of a variety of active biopolymers in cylindrical cells.

description: Recognizing the cultural transitions Chinese international students undergo as readers in the Canadian higher education system, this study explores the difficulties encountered by four Chinese students and uncovers how they experienced, responded to, and transformed in a new cultural reading environment. Focusing on the notion of a reader’s identity, this study uses narrative inquiry to show how participants’ readers identities are reconstructed in a new cultural reading environment. It concludes that readers’ identities reflect readers’ different cultural memberships. As international students crossing cultural boundaries, their identities as readers shape how they interpret and understand the meaning of reading materials.

description: We study the Dirac quasiparticles in $d$-dimensional lattice systems of electrons in the presence of domain walls ($d=1$), vortices ($d=2$), or hedgehogs ($d=3$) of superconducting and/or insulating, order parameters, which appear as mass terms in the Dirac equation. Such topological defects have been known to carry non-trivial quantum numbers such as charge and spin. Here we discuss their additional internal degree of freedom: irrespectively of the dimensionality of space and the nature of orders that support the defect, an extra mass-order-parameter is found to emerge in their core. Six linearly independent local orders, which close two mutually commuting three-dimensional Clifford algebras are proven to be in general possible. We show how the particle-hole symmetry restricts the defects to always carry the quantum numbers of a single effective isospin-1/2, quite independently of the values of their electric charge or true spin. Examples of this new degree of freedom in graphene and on surfaces of topological insulators are discussed.

Bounds on SCFTs from Conformal Perturbation Theory

description: The operator product expansion (OPE) in 4d (super)conformal field theory is of broad interest, for both formal and phenomenological applications. In this paper, we use conformal perturbation theory to study the OPE of nearly-free fields coupled to SCFTs. Under fairly general assumptions, we show that the OPE of a chiral operator of dimension $Δ= 1+ε$ with its complex conjugate always contains an operator of dimension less than $2 Δ$. Our bounds apply to Banks-Zaks fixed points and their generalizations, as we illustrate using several examples.

Evaluating the Potential Impacts of Municipal Wastewater Effluent on Benthic Macroinvertebrates in the Upper Bow River

description: Municipal wastewater effluent (MWWE) is a common, high-volume, point source effluent that is commonly released to urban aquatic systems. MWWE is a complex mixture containing nutrients and many emerging chemicals of concern (ESOCs), which may vary due to treatment type, receiving environments, and the population served. Outputs of MWWE have been associated with nutrient enrichment (eutrophication) but as populations grow and knowledge of ESOCs improves, it is crucial to understand how nutrient enrichment, and potential interactions of nutrients and ESOCs affect aquatic ecosystems. This study provides updated data on the basal aquatic food web of the Bow River in urban areas of its higher reaches (Canmore and Calgary) through characterizations of the benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages in the mainstem and experimental stream systems associated with Calgary’s Pine Creek wastewater treatment plant. Changes to benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages on a longitudinal gradient and cumulative exposure to MWWE in the Bow River were statistically significant and were generally associated with nutrient enrichment (particularly phosphorus). Through the use of different sampling methodologies, MWWE exposures in the experimental streams suggest that the high-quality treated effluent produced by the Pine Creek facility causes consistent, but divergent, cumulative effects in relation to background Bow River source water. In both projects, community metrics that identify types of taxa found in assemblages also described changes to communities more effectively than traditional metrics of urban disturbance such as diversity and richness.

description: We present a universal approach for determining the spontaneous polarization Psp of a wurtzite semiconductor from the emission energies of excitons bound to the different types of stacking faults in these crystals. Employing micro-photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence spectroscopy, we observe emission lines from the intrinsic and extrinsic stacking faults in strain-free GaN micro-crystals. By treating the polarization sheet charges associated with these stacking faults as a plate capacitor, Psp can be obtained from the observed transition energies with no additional assumptions. Self-consistent Poisson-Schroedinger calculations, aided by the microscopic electrostatic potential computed using density-functional theory, lead to nearly identical values for Psp. Our recommended value for Psp of GaN is -0.022+/-0.007 C/m^{2}.
