description: This paper is my response to the statement “All nursing is interpretive.” Using an exemplar from my experience as an outreach nurse with the homeless population, I provide my perspective on how nursing is not only interpretive, but how interpretation is an integral component of nursing practice across practice settings. It is demonstrated that interpretation not only helps us to know people, but can also help us navigate our settings and at times keep us safe. It is written in the first person from the perspective of the first author.

description: Actigraphic parameters can provide indication of people’s sleep quality during their daily lives. However, there is a need for clear guidelines on the understanding of the different actigraphic parameters. The present study aims to propose a conceptual and theoretical framework for known actigraphic-derived parameters, which is able to describe the alternation between rest and wake phases during the nocturnal sleep, explaining their main characteristics and interrelations that can be replicated in future studies. Forty Sport Sciences students at the University of Milan (20 males; mean age ± SD, 22 ± 3 y) completed the validated Italian version of Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) and wore an actigraph (Motion Watch 8®, Cambridge Neurotechnology, Cambridge, UK) for seven days. A framework was developed to depict the interactions between the actigraphic parameters and how they objectively describe sleep, according to which the parameters are organized into three different functional blocks related to different aspects of sleep. Correlations analyses were conducted to explore the relationships among the primary actigraphic parameters within and across the functional blocks. The proposed framework is a purely theoretical construct that provides a simple interpretation of known actigraphic parameters guiding researchers and practitioners in the use of these parameters either for research or clinical purposes.

description: We consider scalar conservation laws with convex flux and random initial data. The Hopf-Lax formula induces a deterministic evolution of the law of the initial data. In a recent article, we derived a kinetic theory and Lax equations to describe the evolution of the law under the assumption that the initial data is a spectrally negative Markov process. Here we show that: (i) the Lax equations are Hamiltonian and describe a principle of least action on the Markov group that is in analogy with geodesic flow on $SO(N)$; (ii) the Lax equations are completely integrable and linearized via a loop-group factorization of operators; (iii) the associated zero-curvature equations can be solved via inverse scattering. Our results are rigorous for $N$-dimensional approximations of the Lax equations, and yield formulas for the limit $N \to \infty$. The main observation is that the Lax equations are a $N \to \infty$ limit of a Markovian variant of the $N$-wave model. This allows us to introduce a variety of methods from the theory of integrable systems.

description: Electronic structure of bcc Np, fcc Pu, Am, and Cm pure metals under pressure has been investigated employing the LDA+U method with spin-orbit coupling (LDA+U+SO). Magnetic state of the actinide ions was analyzed in both LS and jj coupling schemes to reveal the applicability of corresponding coupling bases. It was demonstrated that whereas Pu and Am are well described within the jj coupling scheme, Np and Cm can be described appropriately neither in {m-sigma}, nor in {jmj} basis, due to intermediate coupling scheme realizing in these metals that requires some finer treatment. The LDA+U+SO results for the considered transuranium metals reveal bands broadening and gradual 5f electron delocalization under pressure.

Re-storied by Beauty: On Self-Understanding in the Ricoeur-Carr Discussions on Narrative
Creators: name: Samuel, Nathaniel G
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2015
Subjects: narrative; hermeneutics; identity

description: This essay examines the issue of self-understanding, following Paul Ricoeur who characterizes it as one of the three dimensions of a literary work. The essay places the issue in the context of Ricoeurâ€™s discussions with David Carr on self-understanding or selfhood identity, demonstrating where the two theorists differ, but ultimately proposing how they complement each other to enrich the issue. I argue that the two converge at a significant point â€“ that selfhood-identity is mediated by a host of cultural artifacts, all experienced as narrative. I support this thesis by exploring the way in which the transcultural symbol of sharing a meal can mediate self-understanding, and occasion the narrative re-storying of a life. Attending to the character of General Loewenhielm in Isak Dinesenâ€™s (1993) Babetteâ€™s Feast, I describe the feast as an event of beauty, arguing how this worked to restore a sense of unity to the Generalâ€™s life.

Non-smooth dynamics in the Stommel model of the thermohaline current
Creators: name: Griffith, Cody
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: We analyzed the non-smooth dynamics for the Stommel model for thermohaline circulation with additional mechanisms like slowly varying bifurcation parameters and high frequency oscillatory forcing. Our goal was to find an analytic approximation to the tipping point and forced bifurcation induced by the new features in the model. We first analyze a simpler one component model that has similar structure to the Stommel model and gradually build in more complexity into the one component problem and study the effects on the tipping point.In this context, we compare the relative strengths of the non-smooth effects on the tipping point to the smooth effects which has been previously studied. With the one component model understood, we then apply similar methods to the Stommel model and study thee ffects on the non-smooth tipping points and forced bifurcations. With these results we have the ability to fully describe the hysteresis found in the Stommel model.

description: The present article is an invited contribution to the Encyclopedia of Complexity and System Science, Robert A. Meyers Ed., Springer New York (2009). It is a review of the biophysical mechanisms that underly cell motility. It mainly focuses on the eukaryotic cytoskeleton and cell-motility mechanisms. Bacterial motility as well as the composition of the prokaryotic cytoskeleton is only briefly mentioned. The article is organized as follows. In Section III, I first present an overview of the diversity of cellular motility mechanisms, which might at first glance be categorized into two different types of behaviors, namely "swimming" and "crawling". Intracellular transport, mitosis - or cell division - as well as other extensions of cell motility that rely on the same essential machinery are briefly sketched. In Section IV, I introduce the molecular machinery that underlies cell motility - the cytoskeleton - as well as its interactions with the external environment of the cell and its main regulatory pathways. Sections IV D to IV F are more detailed in their biochemical presentations; readers primarily interested in the theoretical modeling of cell motility might want to skip these sections in a first reading. I then describe the motility mechanisms that rely essentially on polymerization-depolymerization dynamics of cytoskeleton filaments in Section V, and the ones that rely essentially on the activity of motor proteins in Section VI. Finally, Section VII is devoted to the description of the integrated approaches that have been developed recently to try to understand the cooperative phenomena that underly self-organization of the cell cytoskeleton as a whole.

description: We apply relativistic many-body methods to compute static differential polarizabilities for transitions inside the ground-state hyperfine manifolds of monovalent atoms and ions. Knowing this transition polarizability is required in a number of high-precision experiments, such as microwave atomic clocks and searches for CP-violating permanent electric dipole moments. While the traditional polarizability arises in the second-order of interaction with the externally-applied electric field, the differential polarizability involves additional contribution from the hyperfine interaction of atomic electrons with nuclear moments. We derive formulas for the scalar and tensor polarizabilities including contributions from magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole hyperfine interactions. Numerical results are presented for Al, Rb, Cs, Yb$^+$, Hg$^+$, and Fr.

The Case of the Disappearing/Appearing Slow Learner: An Interpretive Mystery
Creators: name: Williamson, W. John
name: Field, James Colin
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2014
Subjects: fiction, hermeneutics, mystery

description: This interpretive essay attempts to demonstrate the potential good that might come from approaching a hermeneutic phenomenological study as a hard-boiled detective story in the tradition of Raymond Chandler. The authors attempt to explain the hermeneutic warrants for such an adventureâ€”that is, for how and why a topic like the categorization and treatment of students in the public education system as â€œslow learnersâ€ might be approached as a detective story. The parallels between detective fiction, Chandlerâ€™s work as a noir novelist, and hermeneutics are drawn out. Attention is drawn to the ground of our interpretive relationship with the world in Heideggerâ€™s notion of the â€œas structureâ€ of interpretation. A case is made for seeing the hard-boiled detective story as a hermeneutic venue for shaking up commonsense understandings of how we have come to see and do education with those students designated as slow in their learning.

description: A modified 7/10-bushel (24,667-cm3) corrugated fiberboard citrus box was tested and compared with conventional boxes of the same style. It has a greater ventilation area than the conventional boxes, and all openings are in the top and bottom panels. The advantages of the modified box, as identified in this study, are as follows: (1) It was equally suitable for use in air- and tight-stack patterns used mostly in unitization. (2) In tight-stack patterns, greater airflows were obtainable through the modified box than the conventional boxes in simulated loads with a vertical airflow system. (3) Compression tests indicated that the modified box was equally as strong as the conventional boxes tested. (4) The modified box is especially suited for use in available conventional refrigerated trailers and the USDA van container, in which the cooled air is delivered to the bottom for circulation upward through a tightly stacked load. (5) Field heat could be removed much faster from citrus when the fruit was packed in the modified box and shipped in the USDA van container with vertical airflow than when shipped in conventional boxes in conventional refrigerated trailers.
Megamaser detection and nuclear obscuration in Seyfert galaxies

description: We revisit the relation between H2O maser detection rate and nuclear obscuration for a sample of 114 Seyfert galaxies, drawn from the CfA, 12um and IRAS F25/F60 catalogs. These sources have mid-infrared spectra from the Spitzer Space Telescope and they are searched for X-ray and [O III], 5007Angstrom fluxes from the literature. We use the strength of the [O IV], 25.9um emission line as tracer for the intrinsic AGN strength. After normalization by [O IV] the observed X-ray flux provides information about X-ray absorption. The distribution of X-ray / [O IV] flux ratios is significantly different for masers and non-masers: The maser detected Seyfert-2s (Sy 1.8-2.0) populate a distinct X-ray / [O IV] range which is, on average, about a factor four lower than the range of Seyfert-2 non-masers and about a factor of ten lower than the range of Seyfert-1s (Sy 1.0-1.5). Non-masers are almost equally distributed over the entire X-ray / [O IV] range. This provides evidence that high nuclear obscuration plays a crucial role for the probability of maser detection. Furthermore, after normalization with [O IV], we find a similar but weaker trend for the distribution of the maser detection rate with the absorption of the 7um dust continuum. This suggests that the obscuration of the 7 um continuum occurs on larger spatial scales than that of the X-rays. Hence, in the AGN unified model, at moderate deviation from edge-on, the 7um dust absorption may occur without proportionate X-ray absorption. The absorption of [O III] appears unrelated to maser detections. The failure to detect masers in obscured AGN is most likely due to insufficient observational sensitivity.
Flexible film and breathable textile electrodes for electrodermal activity monitoring
Creators: name: Haddad, Peter Alexander
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: The field of research on wearable systems that monitor human biological responses for healthcare applications is constantly advancing. Electrodermal activity (EDA) is related to the neurological system and is a result of the autonomic nervous system being stimulated, which produces sweat on the surface of the skin, thereby changing its electrical characteristics. The current clinical devices used to monitor EDA utilize rigid and non-breathable silver/silver chloride (Ag/AgCl) electrodes, possibly in combination with gels and irritating adhesives. The research detailed in this dissertation is focused on advancing our understanding of the design and development of comfortable, flexible and breathable EDA electrodes. Flexible dry Ag/AgCl electrodes were fabricated on a compliant substrate with various surface areas, distances between and geometries. The flexible electrodes were systematically characterized to determine their ability to detect EDA stimulus responses and these were compared to the responses simultaneously collected by rigid dry Ag/AgCl electrodes. The data demonstrated that surface area, spacing and geometry of electrodes affected the detection of the EDA stimulus response. The minimum number of sweat glands to be covered by flexible EDA electrodes has been estimated at 140 to maintain functionality. The optimal design of flexible electrodes is a serpentine geometry (0.15 cm² surface area, 0.20 cm distance). Ag/AgCl electronic yarns were developed through a novel roll-to-roll system and integrated into textile substrates of cotton, nylon and polyester. The EDA stimulus responses detected by dry electronic textile (e-textile) electrodes at various locations on the hand were compared to the EDA signals collected by dry solid Ag/AgCl electrodes. The cotton textile substrate with e-textile electrodes (0.12 cm² surface area, 0.40 cm distance) was the optimal material to detect the EDA stimulus responses. Also, differences with EDA waveforms recorded on various fingers were observed. Trends of long-term measurements showed that skin surface temperature affected EDA signals recorded by non-breathable electrodes more than when e-textile electrodes were used. The effects of electrode design and material for flexible and breathable EDA electrodes detailed in this dissertation can promote the development of effective and wearable EDA monitoring systems, which can help improve our knowledge of the human neurological system.
Numerical Renormalization Group Study of Probability Distributions for Local Fluctuations in the Anderson-Holstein and Holstein-Hubbard Models

description: We show that information on the probability density of local fluctuations can be obtained from a numerical renormalisation group calculation of a reduced density matrix. We apply this approach to the Anderson-Holstein impurity model to calculate the ground state probability density $ρ(x)$ for the displacement $x$ of the local oscillator. From this density we can deduce an effective local potential for the oscillator and compare its form with that obtained from a semiclassical approximation as a function of the coupling strength. The method is extended to infinite dimensional Holstein-Hubbard model using dynamical mean field theory. We use this approach to compare the probability densities for the displacement of the local oscillator in the normal, antiferromagnetic and charge ordered phases.

description: How does speech-acting theory explain thegeneration of meaning and meaningful collective action? What place does firstperson subjective experience have in the theory? What are some of themethodological implications of the theory?Â The purpose here is to outline the Searlean theory of meaning formationand to draw some directions for research into meaning formation andorganization from that outline. Searle assumes a deep intentionality, adirectedness towards the world of all the human capacities. Searle asks: how dohumans from external inputs from the world and through language produceknowledge of the world and organized projects that implemented change theworld. Reasoning implies meaning. Reasons to act identify conditions of success= a meaningful act. Research directions (10) are drawn from elements of the speech act theory: the locutionary process, status assignments and meanings,willfulness, types of speech acts, decision-making and organization.

description: We propose a novel interaction-free scheme for all-optical switching which does not rely on the physical coupling between signal and control waves. The interaction-free nature of the scheme allows it to overcome the fundamental photon-loss limit imposed by the signal-pump coupling. The same phenomenon protects photonic-signal states from decoherence, making devices based on this scheme suitable for quantum applications. Focusing on $χ^{(2)}$ waveguides, we provide device designs for traveling-wave and Fabry-Perot switches. In both designs, the performance is optimal when the signal switching is induced by coherent dynamical evolution. In contrast, when the switching is induced by a rapid dissipation channel, it is less efficient.

subject: quality
subject: stowage patterns

description: This report details stowage and shipping procedures for exporting leatherleaf fern (Rumohra adiantiformis (G. Forst.) Ching) in van containers. Guidelines are recommended that will improve the arrival condition of fern in export markets. These recommendations were developed by studying product temperature profiles of 11 test loads in relation to thermostat settings of refrigeration units and loading patterns used to stow boxes in van containers. Recommended product temperatures for storing and shipping leatherleaf fern are 34°-40° F (1.1°-4.4° C) . When shipped in commercial van containers, it must be stowed in loading patterns that provide air channels through the load mass. Air channels allow free circulation of refrigerated air from the source of discharge to the return side of the refrigeration system. Discharge air temperature will fluctuate from the thermostat setting, especially during the first few days after loading. This is especially true when ferns are not precooled to recommended storage temperatures prior to loading in van containers. Thermostats must be properly calibrated to manufacturers' specifications prior to loading and set at 37° ± 1° F (2.8°± 0.6° C).

Estimation for Lévy processes from high frequency data within a long time interval
Creators: name: Comte, Fabienne
name: Genon-Catalot, Valentine
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper, we study nonparametric estimation of the Lévy density for Lévy processes, with and without Brownian component. For this, we consider $n$ discrete time observations with step $Δ$. The asymptotic framework is: $n$ tends to infinity, $Δ=Δ_n$ tends to zero while $nΔ_n$ tends to infinity. We use a Fourier approach to construct an adaptive nonparametric estimator of the Lévy density and to provide a bound for the global ${\mathbb{L}}^2$-risk. Estimators of the drift and of the variance of the Gaussian component are also studied. We discuss rates of convergence and give examples and simulation results for processes fitting in our framework.

description: Trigger efficiencies at BES III were determined for both the J/psi and psi' data taking of 2009. Both dedicated runs and physics datasets are used; efficiencies are presented for Bhabha-scattering events, generic hadronic decay events involving charged tracks, dimuon events and psi' -> pi+pi-J/psi, J/psi -> l+l- events (l an electron or muon). The efficiencies are found to lie well above 99% for all relevant physics cases, thus fulfilling the BES III design specifications.

description: The transiting extrasolar planet WASP-12 b was found to be one of the most intensely irradiated exoplanets. It is unexpectedly bloated and is losing mass that may accrete into the host star. Our aim was to refine the parameters of this intriguing system and search for signs of transit timing variations. We gathered high-precision light curves for two transits of WASP-12 b. Assuming various limb-darkening laws, we generated best-fitting models and redetermined parameters of the system. Error estimates were derived by the prayer bead method and Monte Carlo simulations. System parameters obtained by us are found to agree with previous studies within one sigma. Use of the non-linear limb-darkening laws results in the best-fitting models. With two new mid-transit times, the ephemeris was refined to BJD(TDB)=(2454508.97682 +/- 0.00020) + (1.09142245 +/- 0.00000033) E. Interestingly, indications of transit timing variation are detected at the level of 3.4 sigma. This signal can be induced by an additional planet in the system. Simplified numerical simulations shows that a perturber could be a terrestrial-type planet if both planets are in a low-order orbital resonance. However, we emphasise that further observations are needed to confirm variation and to constrain properties of the perturber.

A Hermeneutics of Practice: Philosophical Hermeneutics and the Epistemology of Participation
Creators: name: Davey, J.R. Nicholas
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2015
Subjects: Gadamer, philosophical hermeneutics, participation

description: Gadamerâ€™s â€œPhilosophical Hermeneuticsâ€ leaves several unresolved questions inviting further development. (1) If scientific methodology is no longer the counter-balance to questions of procedure in the humanities, what can hermeneutics offer the sciences in grappling with the absence of certainty? (2) Why does Gadamer not develop the notion that understanding is a type of movement? What is understandingâ€™s seemingly perpetual disquiet? (3) Gadamerâ€™s case that understanding is an event is part of his rejection of the Kantian thesis that â€œknowingâ€ is grounded in subjective consciousness. The question of how such events are generated is unresolved. Placing the event of understanding in a linguistic horizon establishes its ontological pre-requisite but offers no insight into the mechanisms that have to be in place to facilitate its emergence.

This paper will suggest that the notion of practice (itself a philosophical theme not extensively discussed in Gadamer) offers three possible answers to these questions. (1) Practice evolves notions of certitude other than those that are strictly epistemological. (2) Practice is often driven by a quest for completion (Vollzug) which proves instrumentally disruptive and a means to new insight. The drive for completion is a candidate for generating understandingâ€™s disquiet. (3) Practice facilitates not so much a fusion but a collision of horizons capable of generating unexpected transformations of understanding. All three answers suggest the development of philosophical hermeneutics into what will be termed a participatory hermeneutics.

The Hermeneutics of Poetry Slam: Play, Festival and Symbol
Creators: name: Williamson, W. John
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2015
Subjects: hermeneutics, Gadamer, poetry; Poetry Slam; play; festival; symbol

description: In this paper, I discuss Poetry Slam events as hermeneutic encounters. Gadamerâ€™s analysis of play, festival, and symbol form the theoretical basis of the discussion. Exemplary data include my research into aspects of the history and ritual of Slam as well as my experiential data as a spectator, coach of a Poetry Slam team of adolescents who compete in a provincial tournament for young poets, and as a Slam performer. I contend that, despite Slamâ€™s occasional â€œsilliness,â€ occasional problems of quality and fair play, and the insistence of many academics that it is not a worthwhile celebration of literature, Poetry Slam has the potential to create meaningful connections between diverse communities and tarry over language as a hermeneutic event. I note that, in an era where text is generated with increasing rapidity while our abilities to appreciate language as an event or as a means of connecting with each other are undermined, Poetry Slams might be the kind of festival we need to seek relief from these trends.

Inverse Neutrino-less Double Beta Decay Revisited: Neutrinos, Higgs Triplets and a Muon Collider

Year: 2010

description: We revisit the process of inverse neutrino-less double beta decay (e e -> W W) at future linear colliders. The cases of Majorana neutrino and Higgs triplet exchange are considered. We also discuss the processes e mu -> W W and mu mu -> W W, which are motivated by the possibility of muon colliders. For heavy neutrino exchange and center-of-mass energies larger than 1 TeV, we show that masses up to 10^6 (10^5) GeV could be probed for e-e and e-mu machines, respectively. The stringent limits for mixing of heavy neutrinos with muons render mu mu -> W W less promising, even though this process is not constrained by limits from neutrino-less double beta decay. If Higgs triplets are responsible for inverse neutrino-less double beta decay, observable signals are only possible if a very narrow resonance is met. We also consider unitarity aspects of the process in case both Higgs triplets and neutrinos are exchanged. An exact see-saw relation connecting low energy data with heavy neutrino and triplet parameters is found.
