description: Measures taken in the Northwest to recover three Snake River salmon runs protected under the Endangered Species Act—and to improve the entire Columbia River Basin salmon fishery—will result in various benefits and costs. This report analyzes the effect on the region's agricultural sector of two proposed measures: reservoir drawdown along the lower Snake River and reductions in irrigation water supply in the upper Snake River Basin. For the Northwest region, adjustments in crop production could lower producer profit by $4-$35 million annually (less than 3 percent of 1987 baseline profit), depending on the scenario evaluated. Agricultural employment could decrease by 50-2,600 jobs, while total employment could decrease by 600-5,500 jobs. The report also analyzes selected economic benefits of salmon recovery, including improvements in commercial and sport fishing.
Multi-states inference for analysing noisy single-particle trajectories

description: The single-particle tracking technique, where individual molecules are fluorescently labelled and recorded over time, is an important tool that allows us to study the spatiotemporal dynamics of subcellular biological systems at very fine temporal and spatial resolution. Mathematical models of particle motion are typically based on Brownian diffusion, reflecting the noisy environment that biomolecules inhabit. To detect changes in particle mobility within a trajectory, hidden Markov models (HMMs) featuring multiple diffusive states are commonly used. In this thesis, we start by modifying a two-state hidden Markov model to take into account experimental errors and further improve the estimation of diffusion coefficients. In addition, we present a constrained hidden Markov model to analyze a specific set of experiments, where two fluorescence colours microscopy data is provided: molecules labelled at low density in one colour, and the second colour is molecules labelled at high density. Hidden Markov models are typically specified with an \textit{a priori} defined number of particle states, and it has not been clear how such assumptions have affected their outcomes. Here, we propose a method for simultaneously inferring the number of diffusive states alongside the dynamic parameters governing particle motion. We use the general framework of Bayesian nonparametric models and use an infinite HMM (iHMM) to fit the data. These concepts were previously applied in molecular biophysics. We directly extended iHMM models to the SPT framework and tested an additional constraint to accelerate convergence and reduce computational time. We tested our infinite hidden Markov model using simulated data and applied it to a previously analyzed large SPT dataset for B cell receptor motion on the plasma membrane of B cells of the immune system. We also incorporated experimental errors into this model, developing an algorithm that further improves the accuracy of parameter estimation, which we demonstrated using simulated data.

description: State-space geometry is considered, for diverse three and four parameter non-spherical horizon rotating black brane configurations, in string theory and $M$-theory. We have explicitly examined the case of unit Kaluza-Klein momentum $D_1D_5P$ black strings, circular strings, small black rings and black supertubes. An investigation of the state-space pair correlation functions shows that there exist two classes of brane statistical configurations, {\it viz.}, the first category divulges a degenerate intrinsic equilibrium basis, while the second yields a non-degenerate, curved, intrinsic Riemannian geometry. Specifically, the solutions with finitely many branes expose that the two charged rotating $D_1D_5$ black strings and three charged rotating small black rings consort real degenerate state-space manifolds. Interestingly, arbitrary valued $M_5$-dipole charged rotating circular strings and Maldacena Strominger Witten black rings exhibit non-degenerate, positively curved, comprehensively regular state-space configurations. Furthermore, the state-space geometry of single bubbled rings admits a well-defined, positive definite, everywhere regular and curved intrinsic Riemannian manifold; except for the two finite values of conserved electric charge. We also discuss the implication and potential significance of this work for the physics of black holes in string theory.

Considera-se como população de estudo lideres de diferentes centros religiosos de matriz africana, e os grupos que incorporam, ou não, a consulta do IFA para determinação do processo de iniciação dos indivíduos dentro do centro religioso, bem como os processos análogos a este oraculo para o mesmo contexto. Assim, visa-se identificar a transcendência da inclusão do IFA nos processos de iniciação, bem como os processos ou condições que facilitaram a integração/adoção deste em religiões de matriz africana que, nas suas origens, não o consideravam. Com isto, poderá se descrever/delimitar o processo de integração e/ou adaptação sociocultural dos conhecimentos entre as religiões africanas nos princípios da iniciação.

description: One of the main barriers to the utility of the International Cognitive Ability Resource (ICAR) is that no research to date has been conducted on its construct validity using a theory - based individual cognitive assessment battery. The aim of the current study was to examine the relations between the ICAR16 items and the Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) broad abilities as measured by the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale--Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV). Research questions include: 1) Is there evidence of the convergent validity of the ICAR16 when compared with a gold-standard individual assessment of cognitive abilities? And, 2) Which CHC constructs are related to the respective ICAR subtests? Data was collected from a convenience sample of university student volunteers (N = 67) and a clinical sample from a university-based assessment center (N = 30) who completed the ICAR Sample Test (ICAR16) and the ten core subtests of the WAIS-IV. To address the first research question, the correlations between the confirmatory-factor estimated general factors from the ICAR16 and WAIS-IV were examined. The model fit the data well ([subscript X]2 (19) = 14.15, p= .78) and revealed a large correlation between the general factors (r =.94, p

description: Many Canadian manual wheelchair users face many challenges in winter months such as slippage on ice- or snow-covered ramps, snow windrows, and casters becoming stuck in deep or hard packed snow. These barriers impact wheelchair users’ ability to participate in the community. This study aimed to evaluate the validity and feasibility of a winter wheelchair obstacle course known as the Standardized Navigation Of Winter Mobility & Accessibility Network (SNOWMAN). The results demonstrated that the SNOWMAN course authentically represented real-world winter conditions, as confirmed by participant responses and qualitative feedback from four manual wheelchair users. The course was comprehensive, covering a range of winter obstacles typically encountered by wheelchair users. Construct validity was established by differentiating performance between manual wheelchairs and a motorized platform with snow tracks, showcasing varying completion times and device satisfaction levels. Feasibility was also assessed, with the administration protocol being mostly adhered to, safety measures implemented, and usability scores meeting acceptable thresholds. The SNOWMAN course showed promise for evaluating wheelchair adaptations and devices for winter conditions, as well as training users in winter mobility skills. Future research directions include comparing different wheeled mobility devices, exploring adaptations for usability in winter, and developing new technology tailored for challenging terrains and winter conditions. The SNOWMAN course could serve as a valuable tool for both research and clinical applications in enhancing winter mobility for wheelchair users. The SNOWMAN course demonstrates strong potential for ecologically valid evaluation and development of wheelchairs and adaptations specific to winter conditions.The SNOWMAN course provides a venue to safely evaluate and train authentic winter mobility skills and strategies.The SNOWMAN course has the potential to positively impact the broader community by enhancing awareness of winter mobility and accessibility issues.

Toward an automated multimodal breast ultrasound imaging system
Creators: name: Kelly, Corey
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Breast cancer affects millions of women worldwide each year, and is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths. Mammography, the standard screening method for these cancers, underperforms for women with dense breast tissue, who account for half of all women under the age of 50. Given that these women are also at higher risk of developing breast cancer, there is a significant need for better screening methods to serve this population. In this thesis, we develop a breast imaging platform which combines several modalities that have been clinically shown to aid in the detection and staging of breast malignancies. This operator-independent, completely automated scan, simultaneously acquires B-mode ultrasound, absolute elasticity, Doppler flow, and photoacoustic tomography of the entire breast in 20 minutes. We describe the hardware and software components which comprise each of these imaging subsystems, and conduct a preliminary study testing the combined system by imaging a phantom which we designed to incorporate inclusions which are uniquely visible in either elasticity or photoacoustic imaging. The photoacoustic tomography system constitutes the most significant contribution, and as such is the primary focus of the thesis. We have designed, built, and tested a custom, fiber-based tissue illuminator to accommodate the unique scanning geometry of the automated breast ultrasound scanner upon which we have based our system. We have also developed a novel data reconstruction scheme which can account for the spatial non-uniformity of this illumination. We tested this system in vitro, as well as a purpose-built wire phantom. Finally, we developed a data processing pipeline which uses generative adversarial networks to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of our raw photoacoustic data, and implemented a state-of-the-art regularized reconstruction scheme to remove imaging and reconstruction artifacts. We tested this method using several phantoms, including an anatomically realistic blood vessel phantom generated from real breast imaging data.

description: We start with the QCD sum rules which are originally based on the idea that it is the power-like corrections to the parton model which are related to the confinement. The naive use of the Operator Product Expansion ensures that there is a 'gap' in the powers of $Λ_{QCD}$ which miss the quadratic terms and start with the quartic term, proportional to the gluon condensate, $$. We review how this hypothesis stood against various checks through the last three decades and how it was modified through inclusion of the missing link, that is quadratic corrections. In field theoretic language the quadratic corrections are dual to long perturbative series. In the dual description, the quadratic corrections are conveniently parameterized in terms of the metric in extra dimensions. We emphasize that the dual models do not incorporate the so called infrared renormalon.

description: New data on pesticide residues, food consumption, and pesticide use reveal both the sources of consumers' dietary intake of pesticide residues and the benefits of research to develop safer alternatives to pesticide use. Consumers' dietary intake comes from four sources: onfarm pesticide use, post-harvest pesticide use, pesticides used on imported foods, and canceled pesticides that persist in the environment. Post-harvest uses account for the largest share of dietary intake of residues, but canceled and persistent chemicals appear among the highest risk indicators. Thus, research to develop onfarm pest control alternatives will not address all of the sources of these residues. While most pesticide uses do not result in detectable residues, higher levels of use do result in higher residues. The geographic source of residues can be identified.

description: The dynamics of a membrane is a coupled system comprising a moving elastic surface and an incompressible membrane fluid. We will consider a reduced elastic surface model, which involves the evolution equations of the moving surface, the dynamic equations of the two-dimensional fluid, and the incompressible equation, all of which operate within a curved geometry. In this paper, we prove the local existence and uniqueness of the solution to the reduced elastic surface model by reformulating the model into a new system in the isothermal coordinates. One major difficulty is that of constructing an appropriate iterative scheme such that the limit system is consistent with the original system.

description: Current generation millimeter wavelength detectors suffer from scaling limits imposed by complex cryogenic readout electronics. To circumvent this it is imperative to investigate technologies that intrinsically incorporate strong multiplexing. One possible solution is the kinetic inductance detector (KID). In order to assess the potential of this nascent technology, a prototype instrument optimized for the 2 mm atmospheric window was constructed. Known as the Néel IRAM KIDs Array (NIKA), it was recently tested at the Institute for Millimetric Radio Astronomy (IRAM) 30-meter telescope at Pico Veleta, Spain. The measurement resulted in the imaging of a number of sources, including planets, quasars, and galaxies. The images for Mars, radio star MWC349, quasar 3C345, and galaxy M87 are presented. From these results, the optical NEP was calculated to be around $1 \times 10^{-15}$ W$ / $Hz$^{1/2}$. A factor of 10 improvement is expected to be readily feasible by improvements in the detector materials and reduction of performance-degrading spurious radiation.

description: We perform a time-dependent ionization analysis to constrain plasma heating requirements during a fast partial halo coronal mass ejection (CME) observed on 2000 June 28 by the Ultraviolet Coronagraph Spectrometer (UVCS) aboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO). We use two methods to derive densities from the UVCS measurements, including a density sensitive O V line ratio at 1213.85 and 1218.35 Angstroms, and radiative pumping of the O VI 1032,1038 doublet by chromospheric emission lines. The most strongly constrained feature shows cumulative plasma heating comparable to or greater than the kinetic energy, while features observed earlier during the event show cumulative plasma heating of order or less than the kinetic energy. SOHO Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) observations are used to estimate the active region magnetic energy. We consider candidate plasma heating mechanisms and provide constraints when possible. Because this CME was associated with a relatively weak flare, the contribution by flare energy (e.g., through thermal conduction or energetic particles) is probably small; however, the flare may have been partially behind the limb. Wave heating by photospheric motions requires heating rates significantly larger than those previously inferred for coronal holes, but the eruption itself could drive waves which heat the plasma. Heating by small-scale reconnection in the flux rope or by the CME current sheet is not significantly constrained. UVCS line widths suggest that turbulence must be replenished continually and dissipated on time scales shorter than the propagation time in order to be an intermediate step in CME heating.

description: The main objective of this study was to isolate aerobic neutrophilic iron-oxidizing bacteria on iron-containing media. Of the 51 pure strains of bacteria examined in the study, every isolate had a reduction in NO3−, 34 (68%) had siderophores in the range of 0–101.2 ± 11.1 µmol, 16 (31.3%) had biofilm (two strains with high biofilm), and 10 (19.6%) had phosphate-solubilizing activity. Acinetobacter, Klebsiella, and Serratia species exhibited a significant degree of resemblance; however, the majority of the strains examined, as determined by 16S rRNA sequence analysis, belonged to the Bacillus genus. Furthermore, using the BstNI enzyme for AFLP analysis, 47 strains were discovered to exhibit significant diversity and more than 50% similarity. Moreover, it was discovered that 20 of the strains examined may cause corrosion on Winogradsky medium. The dried and powdered corrosion samples’ FTIR spectra were strikingly comparable to those of Fe(OH)3. Although pure iron-oxidizing bacteria were not cultivated, microscopic observations indicated the unique morphologies of Gallionella and Leptothrix. Both isolates were regrettably lost when it was discovered that they could not be maintained under laboratory culture conditions. The ecological functions of bacteria in iron cycling and their possible uses in controlling corrosion and nutrient dynamics are highlighted in this work.

description: In this study, we examine how emotional characteristics are related to emotion regulation (ER) strategy use in daily life, separately for positive and negative emotions, using intensive longitudinal data from a 60-day ESM study. For negative emotions, we examine two emotional characteristics, namely emotional intensity and emotional control. For ER strategies use, we examine six ER strategies, namely distraction, rumination, suppression, relaxation, expression, and reappraisal. For positive emotions, we examine emotional intensity as emotional characteristic (emotional control for positive emotions was not assessed). For ER strategy use, we examine two ER strategies, namely expression and savoring. Relationships will be assessed at the within-person level, considering both linear and quadratic relationships.

The Peculiar Status of the Second Law of Thermodynamics and the Quest for its Violation

description: Even though the second law of thermodynamics holds the supreme position among the laws of nature, as stated by many distinguished scientists, notably Eddington and Einstein, its position appears to be also quite peculiar. Given the atomic nature of matter, whose behaviour is well described by statistical physics, the second law could not hold unconditionally, but only statistically. It is not an absolute law. As a result of this, in the present paper we try to argue that we have not yet any truly cogent argument (known fundamental physical laws) to exclude its possible macroscopic violation. Even Landauer's information-theoretic principle seems to fall short of the initial expectations of being the fundamental `physical' reason of all Maxwell's demons failure. Here we propose a modified Szilard engine which operates without any steps in the process resembling the creation or destruction of information. We argue that the information-based exorcisms must be wrong, or at the very least superfluous, and that the real physical reason why such engines cannot work lies in the ubiquity of thermal fluctuations (and friction). We see in the above peculiar features the main motivation and rationale for pursuing exploratory research to challenge the second law, which is still ongoing and probably richer than ever. A quite thorough (and critical) description of some of these challenges is also given.

Application of pulsed light and controlled atmosphere storage for extension of post-harvest quality and shelf-life of highbush blueberries (cv. Draper)
Creators: name: Shojaei, Maryam
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: There has been a burgeoning interest in blueberry consumption due to its nutritional and health benefits. However, blueberries are very perishable due to their susceptibility to water loss and mould deterioration, affecting their quality and shelf-life. The objective of this study was to optimize innovative post-harvest strategies, pulsed light (PL) and controlled atmosphere storage (CAS) to improve the quality and shelf-life of highbush blueberries grown in BC. We hypothesized that the post-harvest shelf-life of highbush blueberries could be extended through using PL and CAS while both strategies meet the consumer demand for natural, and minimally processed foods. In this study, the effect of four CAS conditions (8kPa CO2 + 1.5kPa O2; 8kPa CO2 + 10kPa O2; 15kPa CO2 + 1.5kPa O2; 15kPa CO2 + 10kPa O2) and three PL treatments with doses of 3, 6, and 9 Jcm-2 were assessed using for their impact on the final quality and shelf-life of highbush blueberries (cv. Draper). In addition, the berry quality parameters (colour, firmness, weight loss, and rot incidence), antioxidant activity, pH, titratable acidity, and total soluble solids, and shelf-life were analyzed during six weeks. All CAS and PL treatments showed decreased weight loss compared to the regular atmosphere storage at the end of the storage. PL doses of 9 Jcm-2 showed less rot incidence, and PL doses of 6 Jcm-2 showed higher firmness compared to control; however, no significant difference (p < 0.05) has been observed in PL treated blueberries in all CAS in terms of firmness and rot incidence compared to control by week six. Increasing PL doses decreased antioxidant activity during storage time. Total soluble solids (TSS) and total acidity (TA) increased with increasing PL doses in the lower O2 concentration storage. Results showed that treating blueberries with PL doses of 6 and 9 Jcm-2 in CAS of 10kPa O2 and 8kPa CO2 provided the optimal conditions for maintaining the blueberries’ quality traits after four weeks. These findings can help increase the quality and shelf-life of blueberries, while minimizing their environmental impact, which could significantly impact the industry market, locally and globally.

description: We study the singlet-triplet relaxation due to the spin-orbit coupling assisted by the electron-phonon scattering in two-electron SiGe/Si/SiGe double quantum dots in the presence of an external magnetic field in either Faraday or Voigt configuration. By explicitly including the electron-electron Coulomb interaction and the valley splitting induced by the interface scattering, we employ the exact-diagonalization method to obtain the energy spectra and the eigenstates. Then we calculate the relaxation rates with the Fermi golden rule. We find that the transition rates can be effectively tuned by varying the external magnetic field and the interdot distance. Especially in the vicinity of the anticrossing point, the transition rates show intriguing features. We also investigate the electric-field dependence of the transition rates, and find that the transition rates are almost independent of the electric field. This is of great importance in the spin manipulation since the lifetime remains almost the same during the change of the qubit configuration from $(1,1)$ to $(2,0)$ by the electric field.

Cholesterol transport in wild-type NPC1 and P691S: Molecular dynamics simulations reveal changes in dynamical behavior

description: The Niemann–Pick C1 (NPC1) protein is the main protein involved in NPC disease, a fatal lysosomal lipid storage disease. NPC1, containing 1278 amino acids, is comprised of three lumenal domains (N-terminal, middle lumenal, C-terminal) and a transmembrane (TM) domain that contains a five helix bundle referred to as the sterol-sensing domain (SSD). The exact purpose of the SSD is not known, but it is believed that the SSD may bind cholesterol, either as a part of the lipid trafficking pathway or as part of a signaling mechanism. A recent cryo-EM structure has revealed an itraconazole binding site (IBS) in the SSD of human NPC1. Using this structural data, we constructed a model of cholesterol-bound wild-type (WT) and mutant P691S and performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of each cholesterol-bound protein. For WT NPC1, cholesterol migrates laterally, in the direction of the lipid bilayer. In the case of P691S, cholesterol is observed for the first time to migrate away from the SSD toward the N-terminal domain via a putative tunnel that connects the IBS with the lumenal domains. Structural features of the IBS are analyzed to identify the causes for different dynamical behavior between cholesterol-bound WT and cholesterol-bound P691S. The side chain of Ser691 in the P691S mutant introduces a hydrogen bond network that is not present in the WT protein. This change is likely responsible for the altered dynamical behavior observed in the P691S mutant and helps explain the disrupted cholesterol trafficking behavior observed in experiments.
Identification of in-process machine tool dynamics

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The optimization of a CNC machine tool’s production performance can be approached under the design of an intelligent, self-tuning machine that implements process control/monitoring algorithms, as well as simulations of the machine tool and machining process. However, the robustness of such strategies often relies on the machine tool’s structural dynamics model which is process and position-dependent. A machine tool can exhibit a speed/load-dependent spindle vibration mode which reflects a deflection of the spindle-holder-tool assembly, and position-dependent modes of larger structural components. This thesis presents the identification of in-process machine tool dynamics using operational modal analysis and machine learning principles. The process-dependent force coefficients which characterize the milling force model are also identified. The in-process spindle mode is identified using a modification of operational modal analysis which adopts vibration transmissibility as the relative vibrations between multiple sensors. By assuming a consistent mode shape about the external housing that locates the vibration sensors, the proposed method identifies the spindle mode under operating conditions. An alternative strategy is also posed by applying transmissibility to complement the classical inverse stability solution which tunes a modal model of the spindle mode to realize accurate process stability predictions. The machine tool’s position-dependent dynamics is predicted using the progressive neural network, a transfer learning technique that integrates two networks in the simulation and real-world domains. The simulation domain network is posed under a dynamics simulation model that characterizes the general position-dependency of the machine, and such knowledge is transferred to the real-world domain network to improve its dynamics prediction accuracy under a limited number of experimental data. The process-dependent force coefficients which form the milling force model are identified using a least-squares method posed under averaged milling forces measured in toolpaths with varying radial immersions or feed rates. The edge force coefficients which reflect the ploughing component of the milling forces are also demonstrated to be viable tool health indicators due to their strong correlation to tool wear. All proposed methodologies are experimentally validated, and the identification of these process-dependent characteristics can be adopted to improve the fidelity of simulations and process control/monitoring algorithms.
