description: Organisational processes which address disruption such as risk management, business continuity and disaster management have acknowledged limitations in that they do not cater for disruptions which cannot be imagined or those which exceed reasonable estimations of expected magnitude. The challenge of coping with the perception of increasing uncertainty or escalating complexity while maintaining uninterrupted operations has raised the profile of organisational resilience within industry and academia. However, current understanding regarding its assessment remains underdeveloped, as the construct has been labelled ‘fuzzy’ obscuring assessment efforts. Additionally, empirical research on assessment methods that produce actionable measures remains extremely limited in scholarship. To address these concerns this study adopted a multidisciplinary perspective inspired by pragmatism and enacted through a type of action research. Based on an interventionist accounting approach, the study draws on qualitative data from two accounting interventions within UK government organisations and cross-industry interviews. This research examined: 1) important mechanisms for the assessment of organisational resilience 2) how the assessment method informed a rationale for decision-making 3) the scope of applicability for the assessment method. The assessment method was a maieutic performance which leveraged deliberative inquiry and problem structuring to direct participatory modelling, establishing indicators and predominate concerns related to resilience. This study presents the design, implementation and validation of a maieutic performance, a method that accounts for resilience ‘capabilities’ within organisations. The maieutic performance enabled learning and re-framing while locating relevant issues of concern. The performance also provides aggregated measures for identified capabilities which correspond to strategic organisational issues. The thesis contributes to current debates in accounting theory regarding how incompleteness can sustain inquiry and provide new visibility while locating a rationale for decision-making. Additionally, the development of a novel problem structuring method and insight into its affect contributes both theoretically and methodologically to the soft operational research literature.

description: In frictionless markets, utility maximization problems are typically solved either by stochastic control or by martingale methods. Beginning with the seminal paper of Davis and Norman [Math. Oper. Res. 15 (1990) 676--713], stochastic control theory has also been used to solve various problems of this type in the presence of proportional transaction costs. Martingale methods, on the other hand, have so far only been used to derive general structural results. These apply the duality theory for frictionless markets typically to a fictitious shadow price process lying within the bid-ask bounds of the real price process. In this paper, we show that this dual approach can actually be used for both deriving a candidate solution and verification in Merton's problem with logarithmic utility and proportional transaction costs. In particular, we determine the shadow price process.

Kanenhstóhare : the educative implications of estrangement, homecoming, and Indigeneity
Creators: name: Brant-Birioukov, Kiera Kaia’tanó:Ron
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The reader is invited to join a journey towards kanenhstóhare (ga nunhs doe ha ray). This dissertation traces the process of making Haudenosaunee lyed corn soup, to propose that a curriculum of renewal can be conceptualized through Haudenosaunee thought. The journey is guided by the pursuit of the research question, What value can kanenhstóhare bring to a curriculum of renewal? As a contribution to the Canadian conversation of curriculum studies, this dissertation seeks to consider the complexity of Haudenosaunee thought as an invitation to renew the learner through the journey of lyed corn, as it experiences estrangement (leaving the familiar behind) and homecoming (the iterative remaking of home). The field of curriculum theory has existing calls for the renewal, disruption, and interruption of the learner’s consciousness; yet it fails to account for the risk it poses to learners in such an estrangement from self, and the need to reintroduce oneself following these transformative moments. Kanenhstóhare, drawing upon a Haudenosaunee consciousness, calls for learners to lean into such discomfort, darkness, and grief, as a journey into the unknown. Rooted in a foundation for Haudenosaunee thought, I introduce the overarching threads of Kayanerenhkó:wa (The Great Law of Peace) (ka’nikonhrì:io, ka’sathsténhsera, and skennen) as three methodological moments (autobiography, educational theory, and traditional teachings). Following the journey of corn, we move towards sowing the seeds and braiding the corn to dry, where I theorize how coloniality poisons our collective minds and limits the possibilities of a curriculum of renewal. Lyed corn is a result of vigorous and corrosive boil to transform and renew the corn. Therefore, renewal in a theory of kanenhstóhare, is sought by leaning into a boil for estrangement and is rinsed and reintroduced back into the world through a homecoming. The dissertation concludes with positing the serving of the soup, to offer a conversation for a curriculum of renewal and the future of Haudenosaunee thought in education.

description: The chemistry and kinematics of the oldest and most metal-poor stars teach us about star formation, star deaths and galaxy formation in the early Universe. A prediction of simulations is that the fraction of metal-poor stars that are also very old is highest towards the centers of galaxies.

However, the ARGOS survey for example reported only 0.1% of their sample to have [Fe/H]<-2, which shows that targeted surveys are needed to uncover large samples of very metal-poor stars in the bulge. The Pristine survey is such a survey, which uses a narrowband Ca H&K filter on CFHT MegaCam to very successfully uncover metal-poor stars. Here I will present new spectroscopic follow-up results of the Pristine bulge survey, which is building towards an unprecedented large sample of very metal-poor stars in the bulge region. I will discuss the chemistry, kinematics and spatial distribution of the stars, and their implications for our understanding of the early build-up of the center of our Galaxy.

description: Aging phenomena are examples of `non-equilibrium criticality' and can be exemplified by systems with Galilean and scaling symmetries but no time translation invariance. We realize aging holographically using a deformation of a non-relativistic version of gauge/gravity duality. Correlation functions of scalar operators are computed using holographic real-time techniques, and agree with field theory expectations. At least in this setup, general aging phenomena are reproduced holographically by complexifying the bulk space-time geometry, even in Lorentzian signature.

description: Semiparametric, multiplicative-form regression models are specified for marginal single and double failure hazard rates for the regression analysis of multivariate failure time data. Cox-type estimating functions are specified for single and double failure hazard ratio parameter estimation, and corresponding Aalen–Breslow estimators are specified for baseline hazard rates. Generalization to allow classification of failure times into a smaller set of failure types, with failures of the same type having common baseline hazard functions, is also included. Asymptotic distribution theory arises by generalization of the marginal single failure hazard rate estimation results of Lin et al. The Péano series representation for the bivariate survival function in terms of corresponding marginal single and double failure hazard rates leads to novel estimators for pairwise bivariate survival functions and pairwise dependency functions, at specified covariate history. Related asymptotic distribution theory follows from that for the marginal single and double failure hazard rates and the continuity, compact differentiability of the Péano series transformation and bootstrap applicability. Simulation evaluation of the proposed estimation procedures is presented, and an application to multiple clinical outcomes in the Women’s Health Initiative Dietary Modification Trial is provided. Higher dimensional marginal hazard rate regression modeling is briefly mentioned. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: A numerical study of the ghost Dyson-Schwinger equation in Coulomb gauge is performed and solutions for the ghost propagator found. As input, lattice results for the spatial gluon propagator are used. It is shown that in order to solve completely, the equation must be supplemented by a nonperturbative boundary condition (the value of the inverse ghost propagator dressing function at zero momentum) which determines if the solution is critical (zero value for the boundary condition) or subcritical (finite value). The various solutions exhibit a characteristic behavior where all curves follow the same (critical) solution when going from high to low momenta until `forced' to freeze out in the infrared to the value of the boundary condition. The renormalization is shown to be largely independent of the boundary condition. The boundary condition and the pattern of the solutions can be interpreted in terms of the Gribov gauge-fixing ambiguity. The connection to the temporal gluon propagator and the infrared slavery picture of confinement is explored.

Possible Implications of the Planet Orbiting the Red Horizontal Branch Star HIP 13044

description: We propose a scenario to account for the surprising orbital properties of the planet orbiting the metal poor red horizontal branch star HIP 13044. The orbital period of 16.2 days implies that the planet went through a common envelope phase inside the red giant branch (RGB) stellar progenitor of HIP 13044. The present properties of the star imply that the star maintained a substantial envelope mass of 0.3Mo, raising the question of how the planet survived the common envelope before the envelope itself was lost? If such a planet enters the envelope of an RGB star, it is expected to spiral-in to the very inner region within <100yr, and be evaporated or destructed by the core. We speculate that the planet was engulfed by the star as a result of the core helium flash that caused this metal poor star to swell by a factor of ~3-4. The evolution following the core helium flash is very rapid, and some of the envelope is lost due to the interaction with the planet, and the rest of the envelope shrinks within about a hundred years. This is about equal to the spiraling-in time, and the planet survived.

description: We consider a process $X_t$, which is observed on a finite time interval $[0,T]$, at discrete times $0,Δ_n,2Δ_n,\ldots.$ This process is an Itô semimartingale with stochastic volatility $σ_t^2$. Assuming that $X$ has jumps on $[0,T]$, we derive tests to decide whether the volatility process has jumps occurring simultaneously with the jumps of $X_t$. There are two different families of tests for the two possible null hypotheses (common jumps or disjoint jumps). They have a prescribed asymptotic level as the mesh $Δ_n$ goes to $0$. We show on some simulations that these tests perform reasonably well even in the finite sample case, and we also put them in use on S&P 500 index data.

description: We present the first Bayesian constraints on the single field inflationary reheating era obtained from Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data. After demonstrating that this epoch can be fully characterized by the so-called reheating parameter, we show that it is constrained by the seven years Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropies Probe (WMAP7) data for all large and small field models. An interesting feature of our approach is that it yields lower bounds on the reheating temperature which can be combined with the upper bounds associated with gravitinos production. For large field models, we find the energy scale of reheating to be higher than those probed at the Large Hadron Collider, Ereh > 17.3 TeV at 95% of confidence. For small field models, we obtain the two-sigma lower limits Ereh > 890 TeV for a mean equation of state during reheating = -0.3 and Ereh > 390 GeV for = -0.2. The physical origin of these constraints is pedagogically explained by means of the slow-roll approximation. Finally, when marginalizing over all possible reheating history, the WMAP7 data push massive inflation under pressure (p < 2.2 at 95% of confidence where p is the power index of the large field potentials) while they slightly favor super-Planckian field expectation values in the small field models.

AMPK protects against alcohol-induced liver injury through UQCRC2 to up-regulate mitophagy

description: Recent reports indicated that mitophagy protects against alcohol-induced liver injury, which helps remove damaged mitochondria to reduce the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has been recently used in ALD (alcoholic liver disease) and mitochondrial dysfunction research. However, the inner mechanism, whether AMPK can regulate mitophagy in ALD, remains unknown. Here we found that AMPK can significantly reduce alcohol-induced liver injury and enhances hepatocytes’ mitophagy level. Next, we identified that AMPK rescued alcohol-induced low expression of UQCRC2 (ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase core protein 2). Interestingly, UQCRC2 knockdown (KD) treatment causes impaired mitophagy, whereas UQCRC2 overexpression (OE) can significantly increase mitophagy to attenuate liver injury. Also, we identified that AMPK indirectly upregulates UQCRC2 protein level, and RNA-seq, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay, bioinformatics, and luciferase assays helped us understand that AMPK enhanced UQCRC2 gene transcription through activating NFE2L2/NRF2 (nuclear factor, erythroid 2 like 2). Our results demonstrate that AMPK regulating UQCRC2 is a significant mitochondrial event in mitophagy. It identifies a new signaling axis, AMPK-NFE2L2-UQCRC2, in the regulation of mitophagy levels in the liver, suggesting a possible therapeutic strategy to treat ALD.

On $D\to X_u l^+ l^-$ within the Standard Model and Frameworks like the Littlest Higgs Model with T Parity

description: The $D\to X_u l^+ l^-$ transitions -- branching ratios, forward-backward asymmetry $A^c_{FB}$, the CP asymmetry $A^c_{CP}$ and the CP asymmetry in the forward-backward asymmetry $A^{CP}_{FB}$ -- have two sources: for $D^{\pm}$ they represent a pure $ΔC=1$ & $ΔQ=0$ current interaction whereas neutral $D$ mesons can also communicate via their anti-hadron. Standard Model (SM) contributions to BR$(D\to X_u l^+ l^-)$ come primarily from long distance dynamics, which overshadow short distance contributions by several orders of magnitude; still they fall much below the present upper experimental bounds. Even the SM contributions to $A^c_{FB}$, $A^c_{CP}$ and $A^{CP}_{FB}$ are tiny, quite unlike in beauty hadrons. The branching ratios are hardly dented by contributions from the Littlest Higgs Models with T parity (LHT) even in the short distance regime, let alone in the SM long distances dynamics. Yet the asymmetries $A^c_{FB}$, $A^c_{CP}$ and $A^{CP}_{FB}$ in these New Physics models can be enhanced over SM predictions, as they arise purely from short distance dynamics; this can occur in particular for $A^c_{FB}$ and $A^{CP}_{FB}$ which get enhanced by orders of magnitudes. Even such enhancements hardly reach absolute sizes for observable experimental effects for $A^c_{FB}$ and $A^c_{CP}$. However LHT contributions to $A^{CP}_{FB}$ could be measured in experiments like the LHCb and the SuperB Collaboration. These results lead us to draw further conclusions on FCNCs within LHT-like models through some simple scaling arguments that encapsulate the essence of flavour dynamics in and beyond the Standard Model.

description: The energies of the excited states of the Nucleon, $Δ$ and $Ω$ are computed in lattice QCD, using two light quarks and one strange quark on anisotropic lattices. The calculation is performed at three values of the light quark mass, corresponding to pion masses $m_π$ = 392(4), 438(3) and 521(3) MeV. We employ the variational method with a large basis of interpolating operators enabling six energies in each irreducible representation of the lattice to be distinguished clearly. We compare our calculation with the low-lying experimental spectrum, with which we find reasonable agreement in the pattern of states. The need to include operators that couple to the expected multi-hadron states in the spectrum is clearly identified.

Positive Cosmological Constant and Quantum Theory

Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)

description: We argue that quantum theory should proceed not from a spacetime background but from a Lie algebra, which is treated as a symmetry algebra. Then the fact that the cosmological constant is positive means not that the spacetime background is curved but that the de Sitter (dS) algebra as the symmetry algebra is more relevant than the Poincare or anti de Sitter ones. The physical interpretation of irreducible representations (IRs) of the dS algebra is considerably different from that for the other two algebras. One IR of the dS algebra splits into independent IRs for a particle and its antiparticle only when Poincare approximation works with a high accuracy. Only in this case additive quantum numbers such as electric, baryon and lepton charges are conserved, while at early stages of the Universe they could not be conserved. Another property of IRs of the dS algebra is that only fermions can be elementary and there can be no neutral elementary particles. The cosmological repulsion is a simple kinematical consequence of dS symmetry on quantum level when quasiclassical approximation is valid. Therefore the cosmological constant problem does not exist and there is no need to involve dark energy or other fields for explaining this phenomenon (in agreement with a similar conclusion by Bianchi and Rovelli).

description: L’étude de deux coupes lithologiques à Djebel Aoud Sma (Monts des Ouled Ali, Bordure Sud du bassin du Bas Chélif) a permis d’étudier la série messinienne complète de ce secteur. Les diatomites du Djebel Aoud Sma ont été subdivisées lithologiquement en deux membres. Les résultats ichnologiques ont permis de les placer au sommet du premier membre diatomitique du bassin du Bas Chélif. Les calcaires-sus-jacents ont été subdivisés également en unité pré-récifale et unité récifale. Ils ont été le siège d’apports détritiques périodiques, qui ont atteint leur maximum dans l’unité récifale. L’Halimeda-rich beds ; un faciès qui pourrait constituer un niveau index, connu dans toutes les plates-formes carbonatées messiniennes de la Méditerranée occidentale, a été mis en évidence aussi, où il a été découvert pour la première fois dans la plate-forme carbonatée de la bordure Sud du bassin du Bas Chélif (Tessala-Béni Chougrane). L’étude microfaciologique a permis d’interpréter le milieu de dépôt des deux unités carbonatées. L’unité pré-récifale correspond à une plate-forme carbonatée peu profonde, envasée et relativement calme, tandis que l’unité récifale s’est déposée dans un milieu peu profond également, relativement agité, présentant un talus (pente récifale). Aussi, les résultats de la géochimie ont permis d’étudier la composition en éléments majeurs de tous les faciès rencontrés dans les marnes grises, les diatomites et les calcaires. Les diatomites pures peuvent constituer un bon gisement à exploiter, et c’est ainsi pour les calcaires qui peuvent faire une bonne matière première pour la fabrication du ciment gris et blanc.

When implemented, these two assumptions allow us to express the transformation matrix relating the mass eigenstates to the flavor eigenstates in terms of a single parameter which we fit to the available data.

description: We study the greybody factor and Hawking radiation with a non-minimal derivative coupling between the scalar field and the curvature in the background of the slowly rotating Kerr-Newman black hole. Our results show that both the absorption probability and luminosity of Hawking radiation of the scalar field increase with the coupling. Moreover, we also find that for the weak coupling $ηη_c$, the absorption probability and luminosity of Hawking radiation increase on the contrary when the black hole's Hawking temperature decreases. This feature is similar to the Hawking radiation in a $d$-dimensional static spherically-symmetric black hole surrounded by quintessence \cite{chensong}.

description: Stormwater is a frequent and largely uncontrolled source of pollution in rural and urban
description: environments across the United States. Concern regarding the enormous diversity and abundance
description: of pollutants in stormwater and their impacts on water quality has grown significantly over the
description: past several decades. In addition to nutrients and heavy metals, stormwater is a well-documented
description: source of many chemical contaminants of emerging concern, which can be toxic to both aquatic
description: and terrestrial organisms. Tire Wear Particles and their associated chemicals are one such
description: contaminant of emerging concern that have recently emerged as acutely toxic to sensitive aquatic
description: species like coho salmon. However, no studies to date have evaluated stormwater-associated
description: microbial communities for their potential benefits or risks to human health. Similarly, the
description: toxicological impact of tire wear particles on environmental microbes in runoff is currently
description: lacking. This information is critically needed to better understand the natural bioremediation
description: capacity, presence of biological contaminants, and resilience of stormwater microbiomes. To this
description: end, this thesis has i) characterized the microbial community structures of stormwater runoff in both urban and rural settings; ii) evaluated the ability of stormwater isolates to degrade two
description: model tire wear particle contaminants, hexa(methoxymethyl)melamine and 1,3-
description: diphenylguanidine; and iii) evaluated the toxicological impact of these model contaminants on
description: the growth of six model bacterial strains. Stormwater microbial community analysis revealed
description: distinct differences between rural and urban stormwater runoff. Rural stormwater possessed a
description: diverse microbiome dominated by Oxalobacteraceae, Microbacteriaceae, Cellulomonadaceae,
description: and Pseudomonadaceae taxa, while urban stormwater showed much less microbial diversity
description: overall. However, rural stormwater had elevated loadings of antibiotic resistance genes (e.g.,
description: sul1, sul2, tet(O), and erm(F)) compared to urban runoff. Additionally, multiple stormwater
description: isolates were capable of using model tire wear particle contaminants as their sole carbon source,
description: indicating a high potential for use in stormwater bioremediation. Each model contaminant was
description: also found to alter growth rates of varying magnitude of model environmental bacteria including
description: Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, and Pseudomonas putida. This study explored stormwater

Major sources of variation in placental DNA methylation
Creators: name: Yuan, Victor
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: DNA methylation (DNAm) is an epigenetic mark that can control or reflect gene expression in a highly cell-specific manner. Placental DNAm has been studied in various contexts, however, several sources of variation remain uncharacterized. Before we are able to understand how placental DNAm contributes to important health-relevant contexts, we must develop an understanding of the underlying normal variation that occurs in the placental methylome. For example, a high proportion of variation in DNAm can vary by ethnicity and genotype. DNAm is also highly cell-specific, and the placenta is a heterogeneous tissue comprised of several distinct cell populations. However, due to difficulty of isolating cell populations, most placental DNAm research is conducted on whole placental chorionic villi tissue. Isolating placental tissue without contamination from maternal tissue, such as decidua and blood, can be challenging, especially in earlier gestation samples where sampling enough tissue is difficult. In this thesis, I hypothesize that a large proportion of the variation in placental DNAm can attributed to ethnicity, genetic ancestry, cell composition, cell-specific effects, and the presence of maternal cells. Using high-density DNAm microarray profiling, and open access genomic data repositories, I assessed these factors in placental samples with various phenotypes. I found that ethnicity and genetic ancestry are associated with placental DNAm variation in samples containing self-reports of White/Caucasian, East Asian/Asian, and Black/African American ethnicity. Further, I found that it is possible to predict ethnicity and genetic ancestry with high accuracy and reliability from placental DNAm. Another major source of variation is cell-specific DNAm, which I characterized from placental samples of first trimester and term pregnancies. I found that trophoblast and Hofbauer cells are highly epigenetically distinct, and many placental epigenetic features are conserved in trophoblasts but not always in other placental cells. I developed a reference to estimate cell composition from placental chorionic villi DNAm. Lastly, I developed an approach to estimate maternal cells present in chorionic villi samples, using DNAm, and found several previously published placental DNAm studies to contain maternally-contaminated samples. Overall, I contributed to our understanding of placental DNAm, and have provided bioinformatic tools for future placental DNAm research.
Economic returns from nontraditional additives and maleic hydrazide infrequently justify application on potato (Solanum tuberosum) in the Columbia Basin

Local cloning of entangled states

description: We investigate the conditions under which a set $\SC$ of pure bipartite quantum states on a $D\times D$ system can be locally cloned deterministically by separable operations, when at least one of the states is full Schmidt rank. We allow for the possibility of cloning using a resource state that is less than maximally entangled. Our results include that: (i) all states in $\SC$ must be full Schmidt rank and equally entangled under the $G$-concurrence measure, and (ii) the set $\SC$ can be extended to a larger clonable set generated by a finite group $G$ of order $|G|=N$, the number of states in the larger set. It is then shown that any local cloning apparatus is capable of cloning a number of states that divides $D$ exactly. We provide a complete solution for two central problems in local cloning, giving necessary and sufficient conditions for (i) when a set of maximally entangled states can be locally cloned, valid for all $D$; and (ii) local cloning of entangled qubit states with non-vanishing entanglement. In both of these cases, a maximally entangled resource is necessary and sufficient, and the states must be related to each other by local unitary "shift" operations. These shifts are determined by the group structure, so need not be simple cyclic permutations. Assuming this shifted form and partially entangled states, then in D=3 we show that a maximally entangled resource is again necessary and sufficient, while for higher dimensional systems, we find that the resource state must be strictly more entangled than the states in $\SC$. All of our necessary conditions for separable operations are also necessary conditions for LOCC, since the latter is a proper subset of the former. In fact, all our results hold for LOCC, as our sufficient conditions are demonstrated for LOCC, directly.

title: Repressed Culture and Otherness in “Yo Soy Joaquín” and “Puerto Rican Obituary”
Creators: name: Irimia, Monica Cristiana
Publisher: name: Universität Graz
Year: 2020

description: This paper provides an analysis of two poems, Yo Soy Joaquin and Puerto Rican Obituary,
which stand as manifestos for two radically sociopolitical engagements, the Chicano/a movement
and the Nuyorican movement. Both texts deal with the inferior status of minorities in the US and
reflect upon issues such as racism, oppression, cultural survival, cultural pride, diversity, ethnic
pluralism. This article explores the similarities between two texts that come from rather different
cultural areas. The paper also analyzes the stylistic devices involved in the making of the poems.
Both poems are elegies for asserting one's cultural heritage and acknowledging one's true
identity.
