Water transport in proton exchange membranes
Creators: name: Castañón, Tatiana Romero
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Water transport across Nafion membranes was investigated under activity gradients at atmospheric pressure. The activity gradients across the membrane were controlled by exposing one side of the membrane to dry gas under laminar flow, while maintaining liquid or vapour equilibrium with water on the other side of the membrane. The measurements were made under steady state and transient conditions. The main objective was to identify the rate limiting mechanism among the three major water transport processes in Nafion: diffusion in the bulk, and sorption across both interfaces. The proposed hypothesis was to represent the overall water transport across the membrane as the sum of resistances across the membrane bulk and interfaces. The experimental implementation required new hardware and techniques. A dual chamber cell with temperature, humidity, and pressure control was designed with a gated valve to control the initial starting time for transient measurements. Unlike previously reported work, this design enabled the individual control of membrane thickness, temperature, pressure, relative humidity, and dry gas flow rate in each chamber. The ability to control these variables made the experimental results amenable to theoretical simulations. Two phenomenological models were proposed to separate the contributions of bulk transport and sorption processes. The Varying Diffusion Coefficient model (VDC) was a preliminary effort to generate mass transport coefficients. The Vaporization-Exchange Model (VEM) provided an approximation for the steady state and transient water transport data through the definition of a novel boundary condition that describes the kinetics at the interface, while diffusion is described by Fick’ s law. The VEM yielded interfacial water transport rates:kv= 0.75 cms⁻¹ for liquid-, and kv= 0.63 cms⁻¹ for vapour-equilibrated membranes. Such results contribute to fill the gap for the membrane interfacial kinetics in the fuel cell literature. The analysis with the VEM revealed that interfacial water transport became rate limiting at membrane thickness below Ca. 100 μm. Analysis of transient data with VEM generated bulk diffusivity coefficients: D2- 7x 10⁻¹° m²s⁻¹, for liquid equilibrated membranes at 30-70°C, which agreed with literature data. A case study is presented for Nafion-Si0₂ composite membranes to study the effect of the membrane water content, by addition of silicon dioxide to Nafion membranes. The status of water in the membrane was characterized with long-established techniques, such as vapour sorption, scanning calorimetry, and water uptake measurements. Information from these measurements was coupled with measurements from the dual chamber cell. Experimental results indicated a threshold at 16 wt% of silicon dioxide above which the water transport properties of the composite differed significantly from additive-free Nafion. Analysis with the VEM suggested that the addition of the composite produced structural changes to the polymer matrix.
Animation and "otherness" : the politics of gender, racial, and ethnic identity in the world of Japanese anime

description: In the contemporary mass-mediated and boundary-crossing world, fictional narratives provide us with resources for articulating cultural identities and individuals’ woridviews. Animated film provides viewers with an imaginary sphere which reflects complex notions of “self’ and “other,” and should not be considered an apolitical medium. This dissertation looks at representations in the fantasy world of Japanese animation, known as anime, and conceptualizes how media representations contribute both visually and narratively to articulating or re-articulating cultural “otherness” to establish one’s own subjectivity. In so doing, this study combines textual and discourse analyses, taking perspectives of cultural studies, gender theory, and postcolonial theory, which allow us to unpack complex mechanisms of gender, racial/ethnic, and national identity constructions. I analyze tropes for identity articulation in a select group of Disney folktale-saga style animations, and compare them with those in anime directed by Miyazaki Hayao. While many critics argue that the fantasy world of animation recapitulates the Western anglo-phallogocentric construction of the “other,” as is often encouraged by mainstream Hollywood films, my analyses reveal more complex mechanisms that put Disney animation in a different light. Miyazaki’s texts and their symbolic ambiguities challenge normalized gender and race/ethnic/nationality representations, and undermine the Western Orientalist image of the “Asian Other.” His anime also destabilize the West-East binary, by manifesting what Homi Bhabha calls a space “in-between”—a disturbance of the dominant system of identity categorizations. This suggests that media representation acts not only as an ideological tool that emphasizes conventional binaries (e.g. “Western”=masculine, “Oriental”feminine), but also as a powerful tool for the “other” to proclaim an alternative identity and potentially subvert dominant power structures. Miyazaki’s anime also reveal the process of Japan’s construction of both the West and the rest of Asia as “others,” based on the West-Japan-Asia power dynamic. I argue that this reflects Japan’s experience of being both colonizer and colonized, at different points in history, and that Japan also articulates “other” through anime to secure its national identity. My dissertation will contribute to the understanding of mechanisms of subjectivity construction in relation to visual culture.

Distortion correction and momentum representation of angle-resolved photoemission data
Creators: name: Rosen, Jonathan Adam
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Angle Resolve Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES) experiments provides a map of intensity as function of angles and electron kinetic energy to measure the many-body spectral function, but the raw data returned by standard apparatus is not ready for analysis. An image warping based distortion correction from slit array calibration is shown to provide the relevant information for construction of ARPES intensity as a function of electron momentum. A theory is developed to understand the calculation and uncertainty of the distortion corrected angle space data and the final momentum data. An experimental procedure for determination of the electron analyzer focal point is described and shown to be in good agreement with predictions. The electron analyzer at the Quantum Materials Laboratory at UBC is found to have a focal point at cryostat position 1.09mm within 1.00 mm, and the systematic error in the angle is found to be 0.2 degrees. The angular error is shown to be proportional to a functional form of systematic error in the final ARPES data that is highly momentum dependent.

Pomatocheles jeffreysii Miers, 1879
Pomatocheles jeffreysii Miers, 1879: 49, pl. 3, fig. 2, 2a–d.
Material examined. One specimen, cl = 1.3 mm (examination and description by Konishi & Imafuku 2000).
Remarks. Konishi & Imafuku (2000) considered the cuticular covering of the “hatchling” of P. jeffreysii prezoeal-like, but recognized the advanced development of the stalked eyes, pereopods, and uropods of the larva. The authors did not, however, mention the juvenile-like development of the maxillule and the first maxilliped. Nonetheless, the telson, as illustrated (Konishi & Imafuku 2000, fig. 2M) was clearly zoeal, although quite distinct from any described taxon. The apparent absence of an anomuran hair may have been an anomaly of their single specimen; however, the number of telsonal marginal processes (13) approaches that of Pylocheles (P.) mortensenii and the few parapagurid larvae known, as well as the unusual larva of the pagurid Lithopagurus yucatanicus Provenzano, 1968. Although no aesthetascs or setae were evaginated, the biramous condition of the antennule of P. jeffreysii also indicated a late stage of zoeal development. No protopodal spine or spines were described or illustrated for the antenna, an absence seen in larvae of porcellanids but not in paguroids. The larva is also notable for the lack of a rostrum and pleonal armature.
Konishi & Imafuku (2000) were of the opinion that as all of the setae were invaginated, their larva of Pomatocheles jeffreysii had hatched prematurely. These authors believed that the advanced developmental stage of the larva indicated that either it would have been released as, or have been followed at the next molt by, a megalopa or more advance juvenile stage. The well developed uropods lend support to their supposition.

Pylocheles (Pylocheles) mortensenii. — Forest, 1987: 51, figs. 2a, 3a, 5a, b, 7a, 8a–i, 9a–d, 10a, b, 12a–d, 41a, pl. 2C.
Material examined. Ten specimens, cl = 2.0– 2.3 mm; three dissected (examination and description by Saito & Konishi 2002).
Remarks. Although Saito & Konishi (2002) referred to their larvae as a first zoea, they noted the stalked condition of the eyes, existence of a mandibular palp, well developed pereopods, six pleonal somites and the occurrence of uropodal buds. However, the presence of only four natatory setae on the exopods of each first and second maxilliped was viewed as a typical first zoeal character.
The antennule of P. (P.) mortensenii was described as being incompletely segmented and lacking processes, although Saito & Konishi’s (2002, fig. 3A) figure might be interpreted as having the bud of one ramus (presumably the exopod) developed but lacking aesthetascs. Clearly, the antennule was in an early stage of development. The antenna as described and illustrated also appeared to be of an early zoeal stage, whereas the mandible, with its two-segmented palp was comparable to mandibular development seen in a late stage zoea. The maxillule was described as reduced, but whether this condition was a reflection of lecithotrophy or transition to the juvenile state is uncertain. The first and second maxillipeds had the endopods reduced, but appeared typically zoeal in structure, in contrast to the third maxilliped where the endopod had five incipient segments.
Saito & Konishi (2002) concluded that the larvae of Pylocheles (P.) mortensenii were free-swimming upon hatching, and while not cultured, the authors suggested that at least one subsequent larval stage would follow. Although staked eyes and developing pereopods, uropods, and pleopod buds are indicative of advanced development, the generally typical early zoeal stage antennule and antennal of the larvae would sustain their conclusion.

Deep IR adaptive optics imaging of the core of M71

description: Data collected in H and K bands from Gemini North observatory using the NIRI/ALTAIR adaptive optics (AO) system, have been used to draw a number of new conclusions about the globular cit ster M71. K band obser vations were made in 2 epochs, separated by a 1.81 year baseline, allowing for the separation of field stars from cluster stars based on proper motion. A color-magnitude diagram (CMD) made using only cluster stars agrees well with current models. A stellar density profile was also constructed and appears to flatten at small radii, suggesting that a multimass King profile does describe the cluster quite accurately, a result contrary to that found in other work. Most significantly, the distance to M71 was calculated using the measured velocity dispersion compared to the radial dispersion measured for giant stars. The distance measured was 3.36 ± 0.71 kpc.

Problematizing the problematic: the Nihangs within the great Sikh court of 19th century India
Creators: name: Sandhra, Sharanjit Kaur
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis is an attempt to look at the nature of a specific Sikh sect during a very specific period in history. While conducting my preliminary research, I realized that very little work has been done on the Nihangs, and what very little work there was, it was scattered, fragmentary, and contradictory. As such, by looking at this unique sect, I realized that although I would not be able to find all the correct answers, I would still be able to dissect the Nihangs within the 19th century period, and connect them to the great Sikh ruler Ranjit Singh, and his Sikh court. There is no doubting that Maharaja Ranjit Singh was a great ruler who managed to unite the entire Sikh nation, and even thwart off British interests in his land. Yet, despite the obvious immense power Ranjit Singh held, the presence of the Nihangs, thwarted somewhat, and altered such dynamics of power. And thirdly, I argue that the Nihangs were able to alter the balances of power within the Sikh court through their dual presence as players within the Sikh court, and allies of the Maharaja, and then their opposite role as players outside of the Sikh court, and disturbers of such powers. I argue that although on the one hand, the Nihangs were active fighters for and protectors of Ranjit Singh, and were thus even incorporated into the ever famous darbar portraits, there was a dual aspect of this sect which countered theirloyal nature. Thus, I also argue that the Nihangs were able to demonstrate great power within the Sikh court of the 19th century as they also were a continual menacing and disturbing presence, often abusing European visitors, disobeying orders, and even verbally and physically abusing the Maharaja himself. I hope that in reading this thesis, the reader will also come to the conclusion that the Nthangs did have certain privileges and powers within the Sikh court, so much so, that they were also able to dually challenge the powers of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, and his court.

Luederwaldtia rubripennis Schmidt, 1922: 262. Syntypes: 3 males and 3 females examined in the Natural History Museum, London.
Mahanarva (Mahanarva) rubripennis (Schmidt, 1922); Fennah (1968) Mahanarva (Ipiranga) rubripennis (Schmidt, 1922) comb. nov.
Diagnosis. Head black, vertex rectangular and smooth, postclypeus inflated and convex in profile, with one low longitudinal carina; thorax, legs and abdomen dark black; tegmina sanguineous red, with apical cells on apical plexus of vein black.
Remarks. Mahanarva (Mahanarva) rubripennis is transferred to the subgenus Ipiranga because this species has the same tegminal proportion as the species of Ipiranga, the postclypeus is convex and not angulated as in Mahanarva (Mahanarva), and the rostrum is short, not reaching the mesocoxae. In addition, the shape of the genitalia is closer to the species included in Ipiranga than to those included in Mahanarva. A cladistic analysis of Kanaima by Paladini et al. (2008) showed that Mahanarva (Ipiranga) rubripennis is nested inside the clade of Ipiranga, consistent with this classification.
Distribution. BRAZIL: Minas Gerais, Espirito Santo, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Paraná, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul.

A comparative study of division of household labour across family life stages in Sweden, Germany, and the United States
Creators: name: Tang, Chen Yu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: I examine the effects of two life stages --- the preschool stage (defined as having preschool children in the house) and the school-age stage (defined as having school-age children in the house) --- on the division of household labour in Sweden (N = 480), Germany (N = 689), and the United States (N = 465), using the 2002 International Social Survey Programme. I also examine time availability, relative resource, and gender ideology as the mediating factors in the relationship between life stages and the division of household labour. Initial analysis finds no variation in spouses’ relative frequency of housework participation when examined by the presence of children of either age group. Post-hoc analysis via separate examination of men’s and women’s reported housework hours finds stability in men’s number of hours of housework regardless of life stages across the three countries but variation in Swedish and U.S. women’s housework time across life stages and between countries. The results suggest that women spend more time in housework than men, regardless of life stages and country differences. However, while men’s time spent in housework is unaffected by the presence of preschool or school-age children, women’s time spent in housework may increase depending on the presence of children of these two age groups as well as the type of welfare regime of the country they live in. Neither in the initial nor in the post-hoc analysis are any of the proposed mediation effects established. Nonetheless, time, resource and gender ideology are shown to have differing predictive power on the division of household labour within and across countries.

Basic mechanism of airway epithelial repair : role of IL-13 and EGFR glycosylation
Creators: name: Allahverdian, Sima
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Epithelial regeneration following injury is crucial for restoring epithelial function to its normal state. Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) has an essential role in maintenance and repair of epithelial tissues. Glycosylated structures attached to many glycoproteins including EGFR can modulate protein function. The main goals ofmy doctoral research project have been to investigate: (1) the basic mechanism of airway epithelial repair, focusing on the EGFR and IL-13 pathways and (2) the role of Sialyl Lewis x (sLex) and sLex decoration of EGFR in airway epithelial repair. In chapter II, we showed that injured Airway Epithelial Cells (AEC) release EGFR ligands (EGF and HB EGF) and IL-13 during repair. Moreover, for the first time, we demonstrated that IL-13 plays an important role in epithelial repair, and that its effect is mediated through release of HB-EGF and activation of EGFR. We found that the reparative effects of IL-13 on AEC are mediated via IL-l3Ra2. This receptor was thought to act only as a decoy receptor until recently. In chapter III, we demonstrated an important role for a specific fucose-containing carbohydrate structure, sLex, in bronchial epithelial repair. In chapter IV we showed that sLex decorates EGFR on Primary Normal Human Bronchial Epithelial (NHBE) cells and that EGFR decoration with sLex increases after mechanical injury. Fucosyltransferase IV (FucT-IV) showed to mediate sLex synthesis in AEC and demonstrated a temporal expression during epithelial repair. Using small interfering RNA (siRNA) and blocking antibody for sLex we found that sLex has an important role in modulating EGFR activity during epithelial repair.

Doryphorybius flavus Iharos 1966

description: Remarks on Doryphorybius flavus (Iharos, 1966)
Material examined. 12 paratypes (slide codes " HNHM Tard-398", with seven examples, and " HNHM Tard-399", with five examples); according to Iharos (1966) the specimens were extracted from moss on rock in Eplény, Ungary; no other data available.
I examined type material of the species which is, unfortunately, in very poor condition. In all the specimens examined the body is contracted by the mounting media and the reticulate sculpture of the cuticle, which is one of the most important diagnostic characters, has become invisible. Apart from the body length, it was not possible to find suitable specimens for the correct measurement of the other structures. I have, therefore, chosen to omit the metric characters in order to avoid confusion; however, the pt index of the stylet supports insertion point on the buccal tube is about 68–70%.
As reported in the original description (Iharos, 1966), there is a smooth swelling on the anterior side of the first three pairs of legs and the posterior side of the hind legs [“Die Beine haben über den Krallen einen glatten Buckel” - The legs have a smooth swelling over the claws]. It is not possible to confirm or deny the presumed absence of reticulate sculpture or dots on legs (a character which might not have been noticed), as none of the cuticular sculpture is now visible.
Although Kaczmarek & Michalczyk (2004) examined paratypes of D. flavus they reported that a buccal armature was not visible and assumed that it was absent. However, dorso-lateral teeth are visible in some specimens (Fig. 1 A, arrows), but it is not possible to establish whether the number of the teeth is constant. There appears to be at least four of per side, deposited along the anterior margins of the stylet sheaths and therefore could be considered residuals of a subdivided transverse ridge, which is present in many species of eutardigrades. Peribuccal structures were not visible. The first macroplacoid shows a light incision, not previously reported (Fig. 1 B).
Claws of the Isohypsibius type (Fig. 1 C, D), slightly different in shape and size on each leg; basal portions of the external claws clearly wider than those of the internal ones (Fig. 1 D). Small accessory points on main branches. Smooth lunules present, with those of the inner claws, small and narrow, not always visible and for this reason not previously noticed. No other sclerified structures were visible on the legs.

description: Abstract

This article aims to provide a mechanism for assessing the execution of the Work-Based Learning internship strategy and the development of creative skills, utilizing the Partnership for 21st the Century Skills Framework. This study was conducted as a Research and Development (R&D) project endeavor. The development method consisted of four distinct phases: Preliminary Investigation, Design, Realization, and Development. The tools that were created were assessed on students who had previously completed an internship. This research performed three validity tests, namely expert validity, content validity, and criteria validity. Cronbach's Alpha is used for reliability testing. The reliability coefficient of the WBL variable was 0.942, while the MB variable had a value of 1,000. Consequently, it is possible to infer that the instrument that was developed was deemed valid and dependable for the evaluation of students' WBL-MB and LIS activities.
The roles of the IG-alpha and IG-beta cytoplasmic domains in B cell antigen receptor (BCR) internalization and trafficking
Creators: name: Jang, Caren Lynn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The B cell antigen receptor (BCR) is expressed on the surface of B lymphocytes where it can bind antigen then transmit signals which regulate activation, growth, and differentiation. These signals can induce a number of cytoskeletal rearrangements leading to changes in adherence, spreading, polarity, immune synapse formation, migration and internalization. In the latter situation, BCR internalization results in the uptake of antigen which can then be processed and presented to T cells on MHC II. The relative importance of regions within the Igα and Igβ cytoplasmic domains have been studied in terms of signaling but their roles in BCR internalization and trafficking are less clear. We hypothesize that the structure of Igα and Igβ cytoplasmic domains is important for normal BCR internalization and trafficking. An Igα and Igβ deficient lymphoid cell line has been used to express mIgM along with a panel of Igα and Igβ mutants in order to compare their internalization and subcellular localization in both a qualitative and quantitative manner. Using this system it was shown that the Igα and Igβ cytoplasmic domains are each sufficient for internalization and that the internalization signal is contained in a region past the first tyrosine residue on either chain, Y176 and Y195 respectively. It was also determined that the Igα cytoplasmic domain makes a larger contribution to internalization than the Igβ tail and that a 4 amino acid motif normally contained within the Igα ITAM is sufficient to allow internalization. In terms of receptor trafficking it was shown that each cytoplasmic domain is sufficient for trafficking to lysosomal compartments but that a normal rate of trafficking likely requires the tandem effects of both Igα and Igβ. It was also shown that BCR-induced signaling is generally reduced in mutants with an Igα truncation or an Igβ duplication, but that the Igα truncation results in an increased and sustained level of ERK phosphorylation. Further studies with the panel of mutants will determine the role of Igα and Igβ structure in other processes involving cytoskeletal rearrangements.
