Emissions from UBC air travel
Creators: name: Nabors, Noni
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is increasingly recognized as a necessary step towards mitigating climate change (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, 2016). The University of British Columbia (UBC) has pledged to reduce GHG emissions by 67% by 2020 compared to 2007 levels (UBC CAP 2010). Currently UBC is lacking a program to mitigate emissions from air travel. Air travel produces 2% of global emissions, but this number is expected to increase (Edwards et al., 2016). The goal of this project was to quantify air travel emissions from five UBC Vancouver Departments (Geography, Psychology, Theatre & Film, Chan Centre for the Performing Arts and the Institute for Resources, Environment, and Sustainability). A carbon calculator was created, and air travel information from an 18-month period was analyzed. In total, 709 trips were made with total emissions of 1070.25 tCO₂e. For reference, emissions from the Geography building are estimated to be 4.5-6 tCO₂e for the same period (Jamee DeSimone, personal communication, Nov 2016). Many of these trips were indirect (i.e. with layovers). Had the trips been direct, emissions would have been 981.93 tCO₂e. The primary trip purpose was to attend a conference (412), followed by travel done by non-UBC travellers (144), for example a guest lecturer at UBC. Most trips (609) were economy class. Average trip emissions were 1.51 tCO₂e, though this varies between departments. IRES reported the highest average trip emissions with 2.02 tCO₂e, while Psychology reported average trip emissions of 1.29 tCO₂e. It is recommended that economy class tickets be purchased for all UBC trips, and that direct flights be purchased whenever available. This will ensure that individual trip emissions are kept to a strict minimum. Furthermore it is recommended that trips be consolidated into fewer multi-purpose trips. Lastly the nature of non-UBC travellers work at UBC should be investigated, as they account for one fifth of total emissions.

description: The Sagittarius stream is one of the best tools that we currently have to estimate the mass and shape of our Galaxy. However, assigning membership and obtaining the phase-space distribution of the stars that form the tails is quite challenging. Our goal is to produce a catalogue of RR Lyrae stars of Sagittarius and obtain an empiric measurement of the trends along the stream in sky position, distance and tangential velocities. We generate two initial samples from the Gaia DR2 RR Lyrae catalogue: one, selecting only the stars within \pm20deg of the orbital plane of Sagittarius (Strip) and the other, the result of applying the Pole Count Map (nGC3) algorithm. We then use the model-independent, deterministic method developed in this work to remove most of the contamination by detecting and isolating the stream in distance and proper motions. The output is two empiric catalogues: the Strip sample (higher-completeness, lower-purity) which contains 11 677 stars, and the nGC3 sample (higher-purity, lower-completeness) with 6 608 stars. We characterise the changes along the stream in all the available dimensions, the 5 astrometric ones plus the metallicity, covering more than 2pi rad in the sky and obtain new estimates for the apocentres and the mean [Fe/H] of the RR Lyrae population. Also, we show the first map of the two components of the tangential velocity, thanks to the combination of distances and proper motions. Finally, we detect the bifurcation in the leading arm and report no significant difference between the two branches, either in metallicity, kinematics or distance. We provide the largest sample of RR Lyrae candidates of Sagittarius, which can be used as an input for a spectroscopic follow-up or as a reference for the new generation of models of the stream through the interpolators in distance and velocity that we have constructed.

description: Four XMM-Newton X-ray observations of the central region of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) have revealed an X-ray source that varies in luminosity over \~1--3, 10^{38} erg s^{-1} between observations and also displays significant variability over time-scales of a few hundred seconds. The power density spectra of lightcurves obtained in the 0.3--10 keV energy band from the three EPIC instruments on board XMM-Newton are typical of disc-accreting X-ray binaries at low accretion rates, observed in neutron star binaries only at much lower luminosities (~10^{36} erg s^{-1}). However X-ray binaries with massive black hole primaries have exhibited such power spectra for luminosities >10^{38} erg s^{-1}. We discuss alternative possibilities where RX J0042.3+4115 may be a background AGN or foreground object in the field of view, but conclude that it is located within M31 and hence use the observed power spectra and X-ray luminosities to identify the primary as a black hole candidate.

description: Within the framework of the effective theory for ultrasoft field modes a problem of interacting an energetic color particle with ultrasoft fluctuations in hot gluon plasma is considered. The procedure of calculation of certain effective current generating the process of interaction is proposed, and the problem of its gauge independence is discussed. The application of the theory developed to the problem of energy losses of the energetic color particle propagating through hot QCD-medium is given. It is shown that the perturbation approach for calculation of energy losses breaks down at the ultrasoft momentum scale of plasma excitations.

title: Messianic expectation and the exorcisms of Jesus, the Son of David, in Matthew’s Gospel
Creators: name: Karjalainen, Tommi K.
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2018

description: In this thesis I establish that Matthew’s presentation of Jesus’s exorcisms fits with the Second Temple exorcistic messianic expectations. This thesis challenges the axiom that nobody expected the Messiah to cast out demons. Previous research has been either preoccupied with sharp definitions of titles, have had a narrow understanding of messianism, or have attempted to import non-Jewish explanations. I have taken a more conceptual approach and have focused on those ideas in the Jewish Scriptures that provide the seedbed for messianism in general, that is, the Promise (2 Sam 7) and the centrality of David and Solomon. I have focused specifically on those elements that make their rule distinctive and ideally secure their prevailing over their adversaries. I have then traced the development of these features in the Second Temple period towards explicitly exorcistic interpretations. In so doing I have established the contemporary landscape and demonological language against which Matthew’s presentation of Jesus’s exorcisms specifically as the Son of David takes a shape of prophetic fulfillment. I have, thus, shown that Matthew’s account of Jesus the Son of David’s exorcisms makes sense only if it is preceded by a contemporary expectation for an exorcistic Messiah.

description: We report measurements of the phonon dispersion relations in non-superconducting, oxygen-deficient PrBa2Cu3O6+x (x ~ 0.2) by inelastic neutron scattering. The data are compared with a model of the lattice dynamics based on a common interaction potential. Good agreement is achieved for all but two phonon branches, which are significantly softer than predicted. These modes are found to arise predominantly from motion of the oxygen ions in the CuO2 planes. Analogous modes in YBa2Cu3O6 are well described by the common interaction potential model.

Sharp (1876: 17) stated that the name Pristoderus Hope “may be with advantage dropped into oblivion” due to lack of characters provided by Hope for the genus.

description: To gain insights into the problem of regional inequality, we proposed new regional asset exchange models based on existing kinetic income-exchange models in economic physics. We did this by setting the spatial exchange range and adding bias to asset fraction probability in equivalent exchanges. Simulations of asset distribution and Gini coefficients showed that suppressing regional inequality requires, firstly an increase in the intra-regional economic circulation rate, and secondly the narrowing down of the exchange range (inter-regional economic zone). However, avoiding over-concentration of assets due to repeat exchanges requires adding a third measure; the local support bias (distribution norm). A comprehensive solution incorporating these three measures enabled shifting the asset distribution from over-concentration to exponential distribution and eventually approaching the normal distribution, reducing the Gini coefficient further. Going forward, we will expand these models by setting production capacity based on assets, path dependency on two-dimensional space, bias according to disparity, and verify measures to reduce regional inequality in actual communities.

Measuring Basic Load-Balancing and Fail-Over Setups for Email Delivery via DNS MX Records
Creators: name: Ruohonen, Jukka
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Networking and Internet Architecture (cs.NI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The domain name system (DNS) has long provided means to assure basic load-balancing and fail-over (BLBFO) for email delivery. A traditional method uses multiple mail exchanger (MX) records to distribute the load across multiple email servers. Round-robin DNS is the common alternative to this MX-based balancing. Despite the classical nature of these two solutions, neither one has received particular attention in Internet measurement research. To patch this gap, this paper examines BLBFO configurations with an active measurement study covering over 2.7 million domains from which about 2.1 million have MX records. Of these MX-enabled domains, about 60% are observed to use BLBFO, and MX-based balancing seems more common than round-robin DNS. Email hosting services offer one explanation for this adoption rate. Many domains seem to also prefer fine-tuned configurations instead of relying on randomization assumptions. Furthermore, about 27% of the domains have at least one exchanger with a valid IPv6 address. Finally, some misconfigurations and related oddities are visible.

description: We study the anisotropies of the Galactic confusion noise background and its effects on LISA data analysis. LISA has two data streams of the gravitational waves signals relevant for low frequency regime. Due to the anisotropies of the background, the matrix for their confusion noises has off-diagonal components and depends strongly on the orientation of the detector plane. We find that the sky-averaged confusion noise level $\sqrt {S(f)}$ could change by a factor of 2 in three months, and would be minimum when the orbital position of LISA is either around the spring or autumn equinox.

description: An intense transient magnetic field is produced in high energy heavy-ion collisions mostly due to the spectator protons inside the two colliding nucleus. The magnetic field introduces anisotropy in the medium and hence the isotropic scalar transport coefficients become anisotropic and split into multiple components. Here we calculate the anisotropic transport coefficients shear, bulk viscosity, electrical conductivity, and the thermal diffusion coefficients for a multicomponent Hadron- Resonance-Gas (HRG) model for a non-zero magnetic field by using the Boltzmann transport equation in a relaxation time approximation (RTA). The anisotropic transport coefficient component along the magnetic field remains unaffected by the magnetic field, while perpendicular dissipation is governed by the interplay of the collisional relaxation time and the magnetic time scale, which is inverse of the cyclotron frequency. We calculate the anisotropic transport coefficients as a function of temperature and magnetic field using the HRG model. The neutral hadrons are unaffected by the Lorentz force and do not contribute to the anisotropic transports, we estimate within the HRG model the relative contribution of isotropic and anisotropic transports as a function of magnetic field and temperature. We also give an estimation of these anisotropic transport coefficients for the hadronic gas at finite baryon chemical potential.

description: The Lockman Hole is well known as the region with the lowest neutral atomic hydrogen colum density on the entire sky. We present an analysis of the soft X-ray background radiation towards the Lockman Hole using ROSAT all-sky survey data. This data is correlated with the Leiden/Dwingeloo survey (Galactic HI 21cm-line emission) in order to model the soft X-ray background by using radiative transfer calculations for four ROSAT energy bands simultaneously. It turns out, that an important gas fraction, ranging between 20-50%,of the X-ray absorbing material is not entirely traced by the HI but is in the form of ionized hydrogen. Far-ultraviolet absorption line measurements by FUSE are consistent with this finding and support an ionized hydrogen component towards the Lockman Hole.

We obtain the parton distribution function (PDF) and the generalized parton distributions (GPDs) of the pion and kaon. The valence quark PDA and PDF of pion, after QCD evolution, are found to be consistent with the data from the E791 and the E615 experiments at Fermilab, respectively. Further, we investigate the transverse momentum distributions (TMDs) of pion and kaon. We also discuss the unpolarized TMD evolution for pion and kaon in this model.

description: In recent years, it has become clear that a substantial fraction of transiting exoplanets have some form of aerosol present in their atmospheres. Transit spectroscopy - mostly of hot Jupiters, but also of some smaller planets - has provided evidence for this, in the form of steep downward slopes from blue to red in the optical part of the spectrum, and muted gas absorption features throughout. Retrieval studies seeking to constrain the composition of exoplanet atmospheres must therefore account for the presence of aerosols. However, clouds and hazes are complex physical phenomena, and the transit spectra that are currently available allow us to constrain only some of their properties. Therefore, representation of aerosols in retrieval models requires that they are described by only a few parameters, and this has been done in a variety of ways within the literature. Here, I investigate a range of parameterisations for exoplanet aerosol and their effects on retrievals from transmission spectra of hot Jupiters HD 189733b and HD 209458b. I find that results qualitatively agree for the cloud/haze itself regardless of the parameterisation used, and indeed using multiple approaches provides a more holistic picture; the retrieved abundance of H2O is also very robust to assumptions about aerosols. I also find strong evidence that aerosol on HD 209458b covers less than half of the terminator region, whilst the picture is less clear for HD 189733b.

description: We investigate the charge-instabilities of the Hubbard-Holstein model with two coupled layers. In this system the scattering processes naturally separate into contributions which are either symmetric or antisymmetric combinations with respect to exchange of the layers. It turns out that the short-range strong correlations suppress finite wave-vector nesting instabilities for both symmetries but favor the occurrence of phase separation in the symmetric channel. Inclusion of a sizeable long-range Coulomb (LRC) interaction frustrates the q=0 instabilities and supports the formation of incommensurate charge-density waves (CDW). Upon reducing doping from half-filling and for small electron-phonon coupling g the CDW instability first occurs in the antisymmetric channel but both instability lines merge with increasing g. While LRC forces always suppress the phase separation instability in the symmetric channel, the CDW period in the antisymmetric sector tends to infinity (q_c -> 0) for sufficiently small Coulomb interaction. This feature allows for the possibility of singular scattering over the whole Fermi surface. We discuss possible implications of our results for the bilayer high-Tc cuprates.

description: A new subgenus, Siniron subgen. n., is established for five Chinese species of Epeorus Eaton, 1881 to recognize their distinct difference from other subgenera: 1) in nymphs, tergalius I widely expanded anteriorly while tergalius VII curved but unfolded, well developed paired spines on abdominal terga; 2) in adults, unique coloration of wings, penis with distinct median titillators. Among them, nymphal stages of four previously known species, E. (S.) sinensis (Ulmer, 1925), E. (S.) dayongensis Gui & Zhang, 1992, E. (S.) herklotsi (Hsu, 1936b) and E. (S.) ngi Gui, Zhou & Su, 1999, are described for the first time and imaginal stages are also re-described. The fifth species, which has apically pigmented hind wings in imago and protuberances on pronotum in nymph, is described as a new species E. (S.) tuberculatus sp. n. All these species can also be delimited by COI sequences. In addition, their distribution in China is provided.
title: The process of discursive institutional work in creating an innovative degree development practice: an institutionalisation approach to innovation
Creators: name: Gunn, Frances Elizabeth
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2014

description: Developing sector-specific university degrees is a challenging process for universities and sectoral members. The development of these degrees needs to incorporate industry-specific resources whilst satisfying the universities’ institutional degree requirements. The process is particularly problematic when there has not previously been a degree devoted to the sector and when there has not been sector-wide communication about the need for a degree. This study provides an empirical investigation of the development of Canada’s first retail management degree and examines how discursive processes constituted an innovative practice of sector-specific degree development in a fragmented, occupational field. These processes were innovative because they involved a corporate-university partnership, multiple collaborations of institutional and corporate embedded actors, and particular forms of legitimating discursive work. Given the institutional nature of the university, this practice represents a process of institutionalisation, whereby the innovative practice becomes a legitimate means of degree development. By examining this unique case, this study develops an analytic framework to analyse discursive institutionalisation through archival documentation and qualitative interviews. The discursive work performed through the data is characterised by the prominence of generalised issues, and by the nature of its synchronicity, recursiveness and convergence. The resulting institutionalisation processes perform discursive institutional work that is purposive, synchronised, recursive and convergent. This study therefore provides an understanding of how discursive processes institutionalise an innovative practice of retail management degree development.

description: To understand the nature of the accelerated expansion of the Universe, we need to combine constraints on the expansion rate and growth of structure. The growth rate is usually extracted from three dimensional galaxy maps by exploiting the effects of peculiar motions on galaxy clustering. However, theoretical models of the probability distribution function (PDF) of galaxy pairwise peculiar velocities are not accurate enough on small scales to reduce the error on theoretical predictions to the level required to match the precision expected for measurements from future surveys. Here, we improve the modelling of the pairwise velocity distribution by using the Skew-T PDF, which has nonzero skewness and kurtosis. Our model accurately reproduces the redshift-space multipoles (monopole, quadrupole and hexadecapole) predicted by N-body simulations, above scales of about $10\,h^{-1}{\rm Mpc}$. We illustrate how a Taylor expansion of the streaming model can reveal the contributions of the different moments to the clustering multipoles, which are independent of the shape of the velocity PDF. The Taylor expansion explains why the Gaussian streaming model works well in predicting the first two redshift-space multipoles, although the velocity PDF is non-Gaussian even on large scales. Indeed, any PDF with the correct first two moments would produce precise results for the monopole down to scales of about $10\,h^{-1}{\rm Mpc}$, and for the quadrupole down to about $30\,h^{-1}{\rm Mpc}$. An accurate model for the hexadecapole needs to include higher-order moments.

description: Our client, Tim Herron, who works at the BC Hydro Theatre in the UBC CIRS building uses multiple projectors for visualization presentations that require more than one projecting image. The projectors are currently mounted to the ceiling via unistrut fixtures; these hang at a height of 4 meters above the ground. This results in a great deal of inconvenience when adjusting and configuring the orientation of these projectors. To solve this problem, we have designed and created a dynamic projector mount that is remotely controlled. Our projector mount will allow users to adjust the positioning of one or more projectors using touch control on an iPad. This is done via electric motors coupled with mechanisms using belts and pulleys to pan and tilt the projector mount. The motors are controlled using a microcontroller that receives signals from an iPad through wireless technology. Our current prototype has fully functional pan movement and functional tilt movement that can be further refined and optimized for a fully operational prototype. The total cost of this projector mount is $1155.

description: This paper is concerned with the global well-posedness and finite time blowup problem for the 3D focusing energy-critical inhomogeneous NLS. In the previous results \cite{chkl2, chkl3} the authors considered the same problems with the spatial inhomogeneity coefficient $g$ such that $g(x) \sim |x|^{-b}$ for $0 \le b < \frac43$. Here we extend the inhomogeneous index $b$ up to $\frac32$. For this purpose, we improve the local theory and develop a new profile decomposition based on weighted space.

description: aizen-based work-readiness training originated in Japan and is based on the ‘lean’ production methods taught in Toyota factories in Japan and abroad. Kaizen-based training is rooted in the Kaizen principles of respect for others, the elimination of waste, continuous improvement, collaboration as the key to productivity and innovation as incremental in work processes. The Employability Improvement Programme (EIP), an initiative between the South African Department of Higher Education and Training, the Japan International Cooperation Agency and South African Universities of Technology, is a Kaizen-based short training programme that was introduced in 2011 with the intention to enhance South African University of Technology students’ work-readiness. The research question guiding the study is: how could a short Kaizen-based intervention contribute to South African University of Technology students’ work-readiness? The data for the study comprise curriculum documents, teaching and learning media, video footage and interviews with participants of the Kaizen events over the period 2016–2018. The study found that the EIP supported students’ acquisition of interpersonal skills and personal dispositions towards work-readiness, but skills that were related to workplace relations in context, professional values and a sense of a broader contribution to society were largely absent. The study recommends that longer term, more integrated and better contextualised forms of training are necessary in attaining work-readiness in the complex South African work context.

description: Napjainkra óriási fordulat következett be az emberi erőforrás-gazdálkodás (HRM) helyének és szerepének megítélésében. Míg az ezredfordulót megelőzően még arról kellett meggyőzni a szervezetek vezetőit, hogy a HRM nem értékelvonó, hanem értéknövelő tevékenység, addig mára már bebizonyosodott, hogy a gazdasági fejlődés elsődleges forrása nem a pénz, a tőke, hanem az emberi erőforrás és a vele való gazdálkodás. Ebből adódóan a 21. század azon kihívásainak, melyeket a cikk szerzője szedett csokorba, csak azok a szervezetvezetők lesznek képesek megfelelni, akik stratégiai partnerként kezelik a HRM szakembereit és helyet biztosítanak nekik annál az „asztalnál”, ahol a szervezetük jövőjét és saját sikereiket meghatározó döntések születnek. Ehhez azonban nemcsak a szervezetek vezetésében, hanem az emberi erőforrás-gazdálkodás rendszerében is szemléletváltásra van szükség. A szerző – a teljesség igénye nélkül – igyekszik számba venni századunknak a vezetőkkel szemben támasztott néhány jelentősebb kihívását, úgymint globalizáció, kulturális sokszínűség, demográfiai és generációs problémák, stratégiai utódlástervezés és tehetséggondozás, innováció, tudásorientált emberi erőforrás-gazdálkodás stb. Mindeközben nemcsak a kihívások okozta nehézségekre hívja fel a figyelmet, hanem javaslatot is tesz azok megelőzésére, illetve kezelésére, melyben kulcsszerep hárul a HR-re, mint a csúcsvezetők stratégiai partnerére. = The turbulent and in-depth changes in conditions mentioned in the introduction and the challenges posed by these to managers mean that renewal and change in human resources management (HRM) systems is inevitable even if it costs time and money, but the new system fits the given situation well. As their employment becomes more and more regular in cutting-edge organisations, others are also compelled to introduce the skillbased model. One important prerequisite of this is that the representatives of HRM can have a seat at the table where strategic decisions are made. In order to archive this, HR managers and their colleagues – as put by Dave Ulrich – need to become the top managers’ strategic partners. This will be more likely if a great number of HR management graduates leave the higher education system, and if a wide circle of managers recognise the importance of their employment in the private and public sector who face and seek to meet the turbulent changes of the 21st century.
