Supplementary Material from Host and brood parasite coevolutionary interactions covary with comparative patterns of the avian visual system

description: In coevolutionary arms-races, reciprocal ecological interactions and their fitness impacts shape the course of phenotypic evolution. The classic example of avian host–brood parasite interactions selects for host recognition and rejection of increasingly mimetic foreign eggs. An essential component of perceptual mimicry is that parasitic eggs escape detection by host sensory systems, yet there is no direct evidence that the avian visual system covaries with parasitic egg recognition or mimicry. Here, we used eye size measurements collected from preserved museum specimens as a metric of the avian visual system for species involved in host–brood parasite interactions. We discovered that (i) hosts had smaller eyes compared with non-hosts, (ii) parasites had larger eyes compared with hosts before but not after phylogenetic corrections, perhaps owing to the limited number of independent evolutionary origins of obligate brood parasitism, (iii) egg rejection in hosts with non-mimetic parasitic eggs positively correlated with eye size, and (iv) eye size was positively associated with increased avian-perceived host–parasite eggshell similarity. These results imply that both host-use by parasites and anti-parasitic responses by hosts covary with a metric of the visual system across relevant bird species, providing comparative evidence for coevolutionary patterns of host and brood parasite sensory systems.
Active power decoupling for a boost power factor correction circuit
Creators: name: Williams, David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: During AC-DC conversion, the ripple power at the input of the converter must be filtered from the output. This filtering can be easily done by placing a capacitor on the DC bus. For systems with power output of hundreds of Watts or more, this capacitor must be quite high to effectively perform the filtering, and in order to be cost effective, an aluminum electrolytic capacitor (Al e-caps) needs to be used. The lifespan of Al e-caps is notoriously short, so for long lifespan systems, their use is not advisable. Film capacitors have longer lifespans than Al e-caps but are more expensive on a cost per Farad basis. Methods have been proposed to reduce the required capacitance so that film capacitors can be cost effectively used. One of these methods is to use a separate decoupling port in the circuit that can filter the ripple power without the limitation of being connected directly to the DC bus. The first contribution is a method of using an active power decoupling (APD) port with a buck-based circuit that does not require direct measurement of the AC input signal for controlling the ripple power to the port. This APD port requires only two extra switches and some simple signal processing circuitry to generate a reference signal and control the voltage to the APD port capacitor. The second contribution is a design guide for a sliding mode control (SMC) system for the APD port. SMC shows promise as a control system for power electronics circuits and has never been demonstrated on an APD port before. The proposed circuit and control system is used in a 700 Watt AC-DC converter with power factor correction and is compared in simulation to a benchmark converter using a passive capacitor on the DC bus. The capacitance is reduced from 300μF to a 35μF and a 75μF capacitor without any effect on performance as indicated by measures of the voltage ripple, power factor and total harmonic distortion. The capacitance reduction results in a cost savings of $175 on capacitors when using prices that were current at time of publication.

description: Inspired by the approach of kinetic theory of gases, a three-level description (microscopic, mesoscopic and macroscopic) of cellular automaton is presented. To provide an analytical treatment a simple domino cellular automaton with avalanches was constructed. Formulas concerning exact relations for density, clusters, avalanches and other parameters in an equilibrium state were derived. It appears that some relations are approximately valid for deviations from the equilibrium, so the adequate Ito equation could be constructed. The equation provides the time evolution description of some variable on the macroscopic level. The results also suggest a motive for applying of the procedure of construction of the Ito equation (from time series data) to natural time series.

description: L'oggetto di questo lavoro di tesi e stato la progettazione e l'implementazione di DeDALO (DEpendency Discovery and AnaLisys using Online trafficc measurement), un framework di analisi per la rilevazione di interdipendenze in sistemi distribuiti. Il tool  progettato con lo scopo di automatizzare la rilevazione di dipendenze, utilizzando metodi black-box basati sull'analisi del traffico di rete. Studiare le dipendenze in un sistema distribuito,  fondamentale per costruire mappe logiche fra gli elementi che lo compongono, evidenziando quei componenti strategici su cui si fonda il suo corretto funzionamento. Tale analisi e definita Dependency and Discovery Analysis (DDA) e costituisce uno strumento utile per valutare l'impatto e la propagazione di eventi localizzati, descrivendo tramite un grafo gli elementi maggiormente coinvolti. DeDALO implementa un algoritmo di DDA orientato all'analisi delle serie temporali, caratterizzanti flussi di dati nel traffico IP. Negli ultimi anni, le tecniche di DDA hanno ricevuto una crescente attenzione. Vi sono sia prodotti commerciali, come IBM Tivoli [IBM], EMC Smarts [EMC] o HP OpenView [HP], che risultati scientifici in cui si suggeriscono modelli e metodologie per implementare DDA automatizzate. Il concetto di dipendenza  definito come

'A linkage or connection between two infrastructures, through which the state of one infrastructure in the other'

ovvero, un legame fra componenti, in cui lo stato di uno influenza lo stato dell'altro.

Sono identificate quattro tipi di dipendenze: fisiche, cyber, geografiche e logiche. Nel caso dei sistemi distribuiti, ne risalta una in particolare: la cyberdipendenza. Questo tipo di dipendenza caratterizza lo stato di un sistema, in funzione delle informazioni scambiate al suo interno (traffico di rete).

Ci che e interessante, a fini di questo lavoro,  lo studio qualitativo e quantitativo dell'interconnessione fra i componenti di un sistema distribuito, cercando di evidenziare quelle situazioni di dipendenza che potrebbero mettere il sistema a rischio.

description: The responds of different common alkali halide crystals to alpha-rays and gamma-rays are tested in our research. It is found that only CsI(Na) crystals have significantly different waveforms between alpha and gamma scintillations, while others have not this phenomena. It is suggested that the fast light of CsI(Na) crystals arises from the recombination of free electrons with self-trapped holes of the host crystal CsI. Self-absorption limits the emission of fast light of CsI(Tl) and NaI(Tl) crystals.

Das Projekt österreichischer Universitäten verfolgt eine attraktive und vielschichtige nationale Infrastruktur für OER als Gesamtprojektziel. Diese äußert sich im Rahmen eines OERhub (zentrale Meta-Suchmaschine für OER aus dem gesamten öst. Hochschulraum), sowie in einer nationalen OER-Zertifizierungsstelle mit passenden Qualifizierungsangeboten und weitreichendem Wissenstransfer an der Schnittstelle von Bibliotheken, Zentralen IT-Services und E-Learning-Zentren.
 Analog zu institutionell bereits verankerten Aktivitäten im Bereich Open Access in der Forschung, beginnen sich OER an Hochschulen zu etablieren und stoßen bei Lehrenden, Studierenden und Leitungsebenen auf zunehmendes Interesse. Diese „educational skills“ im Bereich der OER sind ebenso in der EU Open Science Policy als eine der zentralen „ambitions“, die Forscher*innen beim Praktizieren von Open Science benötigen, verankert. (European Comission, 2019) Neben dem Kompetenzaufbau zur Verwendung und Erstellung von OER ist deren Verfügbarkeit und Auffindbarkeit von zentraler Bedeutung, um die Akzeptanz von OER nachhaltig zu sichern. Somit besteht die Anforderung seitens der Nachhaltigkeit neben Publikationen und Forschungsdaten, immer öfter auch Inhalte aus der Lehre langfristig verfügbar zu machen.
 „Open Education Austria Advanced“ trägt somit an der Schnittstelle von Bibliotheken, Zentralen IT-Services und E-Learning-Zentren zur Sichtbarmachung und Nutzung von Synergien aus Open Science und Open Education bei, um einen Beitrag zur freien Nutzung von Bildungsinhalten aus der Lehre zu leisten und offene Praktiken analog zur Forschung zu etablieren.

description: Gravity is specifically the attractive force between two masses separated at a distance. Is this force a derived or a fundamental interaction? We believe that all fundamental interactions are quantum in nature but a derived interaction may be classical. Severe challenges have appeared in many quantum theories of gravity. None of these theories has thus far attained its goal in quantizing gravity and some have met remarkable defeat. We are led to ponder whether gravitation is intrinsically classical and that there would exist a deeper and structurally different underlying theory which would give rise to classical gravitation, in the sense that statistical mechanics, quantum or classical, provides the underlying theory of classical thermodynamics.

description: We study the dynamic response of a mechanical quartz tuning fork in the temperature range from 9 K to 300 K. Since the quality factor Q of the resonance strongly depends on temperature, we implement a procedure to control the quality factor of the resonance. We show that we are able to dynamically change the quality factor and keep it constant over the whole temperature range. This procedure is suitable for applications in scanning probe microscopy.

description: Taking advantage of both the high temporal and spatial resolution of the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), we studied a limb coronal shock wave and its associated extreme ultraviolet (EUV) wave that occurred on 2010 June 13. Our main findings are (1) the shock wave appeared clearly only in the channels centered at 193 Åand 211 Åas a dome-like enhancement propagating ahead of its associated semi-spherical CME bubble; (2) the density compression of the shock is 1.56 according to radio data and the temperature of the shockis around 2.8 MK; (3) the shock wave first appeared at 05:38 UT, 2 minutes after the associated flare has started and 1 minute after its associated CME bubble appeared;(4) the top of the dome-like shock wave set out from about 1.23 R\odot and the thickness of the shocked layer is ~ 2\times10^4 km; (5) the speed of the shock wave is consistent with a slight decrease from about 600 km/s to 550 km/s; (6) the lateral expansion of the shock wave suggests a constant speed around 400 km/s, which varies at different heights and directions. Our findings support the view that the coronal shock wave is driven by the CME bubble, and the on-limb EUV wave is consistent with a fast wave or at least includes the fast wave component.

description: Today's call center managers face multiple operational decision-making tasks. One of the most common is determining the weekly staffing levels to ensure customer satisfaction and meeting their needs while minimizing service costs. An initial step for producing the weekly schedule is forecasting the future system loads which involves predicting both arrival counts and average service times. We introduce an arrival count model which is based on a mixed Poisson process approach. The model is applied to data from an Israeli Telecom company call center. In our model, we also consider the effect of events such as billing on the arrival process and we demonstrate how to incorporate them as exogenous variables in the model. After obtaining the forecasted system load, in large call centers, a manager can choose to apply the QED (Quality-Efficiency Driven) regime's "square-root staffing" rule in order to balance the offered-load per server with the quality of service. Implementing this staffing rule requires that the forecasted values of the arrival counts and average service times maintain certain levels of precision. We develop different goodness of fit criteria that help determine our model's practical performance under the QED regime. These show that during most hours of the day the model can reach desired precision levels.

CaPSAI Project is implementing a social accountability intervention where service users and providers assess the quality of local FP/C services and jointly identify ways to improve the delivery and quality of such services. In the project, a quasi-experimental study utilizing an interrupted time series design with a control group is conducted in eight intervention and eight control facilities in each study country, which are Ghana and Tanzania. A cross-sectional survey of service users and health care providers is used to measure social accountability outcomes, and a cohort of women who are new users of FP/C is followed up after the completion of the intervention to measure contraceptive use and continuation. The process evaluation utilizes a range of methods and data sources to enable a fuller description of how the findings were produced.

description: We introduce a simple and predictive model for determining the phase stability of ternary phospholipid-cholesterol mixtures. Assuming that competition between the liquid and gel order of the phospholipids is the main driving force behind lipid segregation, we derive a Gibbs free-energy of mixing, based on the thermodynamic properties of the lipids main transition. A numerical approach was devised that enable the fast and efficient determination of the ternary diagrams associated with our Gibbs free-energy. The computed phase coexistence diagram of DOPC/DPPC/cholesterol reproduces well known features for this system at 10\circ C, as well as its evolution with temperature.

Civil war, politicide, and the politics of memory in South Korea, 1948-1961
Creators: name: Wright, Brendan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: This thesis explores the history and memory of three incidents of massacres committed by South Korean government forces during the Korean civil war (1948-1953) against alleged "communists"—the Cheju Incident, the National Guidance League Incident, and the Kŏch'ang Incident. These three episodes were part of a broader "politicide" that was organized and facilitated by the nascent South Korean National Security State. Drawing from sources unearthed by the South Korean Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the National Committee for the Investigation of the Truth about the Cheju 4.3 Incident, and various bereaved family associations, this dissertation demonstrates that this politicide was rooted in processes of anticommunist ideological consolidation and state building that were predicated upon the obliteration of the "communist" other, in the context of a fratricidal civil war. From 1953 to 1960, in the aftermath of this period of mass violence, survivors and bereaved families were subjected to legal, economic, and social discrimination from the state, which threatened these families with "social death". Most profoundly, state prohibitions on the burial and mourning of "communists" engendered a social crises within these communities. However, some families were granted the right to mourn, and through the construction of mass graves honouring the victims, these families articulated an alternative identity than that imposed by the anticommunist state: one that was rooted in the notion of a unified bereaved subject. In 1960, the authoritarian First Republic collapsed, leading to a brief period of liberation. In this context, victims formed Bereaved Family Associations. Through petitions, advertisements, private and public mourning practices, and the establishment of "truth" committees, the Bereaved Family Associations offered a radical rethinking of the Korean War past. The lynchpin of this strategy was an alternative nationalist narrative in which the alleged "communists" were reconceived as patriotic martyrs for a not-yet-authored unified democratic state. However, in the wake of the military coup of May 16, 1961, these efforts were brutally repressed, as the military junta arrested and tortured the Bereaved Family Associations' leadership, destroyed monuments dedicated the atrocities' victims, and desecrated the mass graves built to honour the spirits of the dead.

description: We present measurements of untriggered di-hadron correlations as a function of centrality in Pb-Pb \sNN collisions, for charged hadrons with $p_{T} > 0.15$ GeV$/c$. These measurements provide a map of the bulk correlation structures in heavy-ion collisions. Contributions to these structures may come from jets, initial density fluctuations, elliptic flow, resonances, and/or momentum conservation. We decompose the measured correlation functions via a multi-parameter fit in order to extract the nearside Gaussian, the longer range $Δη$ correlation often referred to as the soft ridge. The effect of including higher harmonics ($v_{3}$ and $v_{4}$) in this procedure will be discussed. We investigate how the nearside Gaussian scales with the number of binary collisions. Finally, we show the charge dependence of the nearside Gaussian.

A cross-sectional survey of service users and health care providers is used to measure social accountability outcomes, and a cohort of women who are new users of FP/C is followed up after the completion of the intervention to measure contraceptive use and continuation. The process evaluation utilizes a range of methods and data sources to enable a fuller description of how the findings were produced.

description: We present an extended structural study of globular complexes made by mixing a positively charge protein (lysozyme) and a negatively charged polyelectrolyte (PSS). We study the influence of all the parameters that may act on the structure of the complexes (charge densities and concentration of the species, partial hydrophobicity of the polyion chain, ionic strength). The structures on a 15 scale range lying from 10Å to 1000Å are measured by SANS. Whatever the conditions, the same structure is found, based on the formation of dense globules of ~ 100Å with a neutral core and a volume fraction of organic species (compacity) of ~ 0.3. At higher scale, the globules are arranged in fractal aggregates. Zetametry measurements show that globular complexes have a total positive charge when the charge ratio of species introduced in the mixture [-]/[+]intro > 1 and a total 20 negative charge when [-]/[+]intro < 1. This comes from the presence of charged species in slight excess in a layer at the surface of the globules. The globule finite size is determined by the Debye length k-1 whatever the way the physicochemical parameters are modified in the system, as long as chain-protein interactions are of simple electrostatics nature. The mean number of proteins per primary complex Nlyso_comp grows exponentially on a master curve with k-1. This enables to picture 25 the mechanisms of formation of the complexes. There is an initial stage of formation where the growth of the complexes is only driven by attractions between opposite species associated with counterion release. During the growth of the complexes, the globules progressively repell themselves by electrostatic repulsion because their charge increases. When this repulsion becomes dominent in the system, globules stop growing and behave like charged colloids: they aggregate 30 with a RLCA process, which leads to the formation of fractal aggregates of dimension Df 2.1.

description: In situ immobilization of CuI nanoparticles (NPs) on modified poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) [SMA] was achieved. Proper immobilization of CuI on the prepared support was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP). In order to present a quantitative description for experimental features of CuI/SMI nanocatalyst, the coordination behavior and the nature of interactions between Cu(I) ions and modified SMI ligand in gas and solution phases was computationally assessed. In this line, the mathematical properties of electron density functions were calculated and analyzed topologically via density functional theory (DFT) and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) approaches for different coordination modes. Encouraged by our computational results, this new catalyst was employed in a one-pot, three-component reaction involving terminal alkynes, alkyl halides and sodium azide in water resulting in highly regioselective synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles in high to excellent yields. The catalyst was reused without pre-activation and recycled for at least five runs without significant decrease in its activity being observed.

description: Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic is increasing negative emotions and decreasing positive emotions globally. Left unchecked, these emotional changes may have a wide array of adverse impacts. To reduce negative emotions and increase positive emotions, we will examine the impact of reappraisal, a widely studied and highly effective form of emotion regulation. Participants from 55 countries (expected N = 25,448) will be randomly assigned to one of two brief reappraisal interventions (reconstrual or repurposing), an active control condition, or a passive control condition. We predict that both reappraisal interventions will reduce negative emotions and increase positive emotions relative to the control conditions. We further predict that reconstrual will decrease negative emotions more than repurposing, and that repurposing will increase positive emotions more than reconstrual. We hope to inform efforts to create a scalable intervention for use around the world to build resilience during the pandemic and beyond.

A Parallel Implementation of a Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithm

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: The use of Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) in difficult problems, where the search space is unknown, urges researches to find ways to exploit their parallel aspect. Multi-objective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEAs) have features that can be exploited to harness the processing power offered by modern multi-core CPUs. Modern programming languages offer the ability to use threads and processes in order to achieve parallelism that is inherent in multi-core CPUs. This thesis presents a parallel implementation of a MOEA algorithm and its application to the de novo drug design problem. Drug discovery, and de novo drug design, is a complex task where the solution has to satisfy a number of conflicting objectives. As such the problem is suitable for the use of a MOEA. Further more achieving this task requires considerable execution time. The aim of this thesis is to minimize this time by the use of a parallel MOEA. The results indicate that using multiple processes that execute independent tasks of a MOEA can reduce significantly the execution time required and maintain comparable solution quality thereby achieving improved performance.

description: The T-wave of an electrocardiogram (ECG) represents the ventricular repolarization that is critical in restoration of the heart muscle to a pre-contractile state prior to the next beat. Alterations in the T-wave reflect various cardiac conditions; and links between abnormal (prolonged) ventricular repolarization and malignant arrhythmias have been documented. Cardiac safety testing prior to approval of any new drug currently relies on two points of the ECG waveform: onset of the Q-wave and termination of the T-wave; and only a few beats are measured. Using functional data analysis, a statistical approach extracts a common shape for each subject (reference curve) from a sequence of beats, and then models the deviation of each curve in the sequence from that reference curve as a four-dimensional vector. The representation can be used to distinguish differences between beats or to model shape changes in a subject's T-wave over time. This model provides physically interpretable parameters characterizing T-wave shape, and is robust to the determination of the endpoint of the T-wave. Thus, this dimension reduction methodology offers the strong potential for definition of more robust and more informative biomarkers of cardiac abnormalities than the QT (or QT corrected) interval in current use.

description: Optimization of energy consumption and HPC resource utilization are high-priority issues for any supercomputing centre . Accelerators will drive the floating-point performances of exascale supercomputers; however preparing the scientific communities for these ever-changing architectures is a daunting task. Thus, the work of HPC support teams is crucial in achieving an overall optimized resource utilization. We highlight a methodology to monitor and optimize resource utilization at a national supercomputing centre, CINES [8] . We used a tool to collect the total energy consumed (kWh) by the simulation jobs on supercomputer ‘Occigen’ for several months. Based on benchmark runs and our data, we prepared a classification criterion to distinguish jobs based on their normalized energy consumption; and classified them from low to high-energy consumption classes. Our data analysis shows interesting trends that help us identify suboptimal jobs, along with other insights, to improve resource utilization as a final goal on CINES’s supercomputers
The direct and indirect costs of non-traumatic dental emergency room visits in British Columbia

description: Objective: To assess the direct and indirect costs of non-traumatic dental visits at the Emergency Rooms (ERs) in British Columbia (BC). Methods: Services from the Canadian Institute for Health Information’s National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS) were acquired; NACRS contains data including diagnosis and procedures coded with the International Classification of Disease representing the conditions of oral cavity, salivary glands and jaws. Direct cost relates to the billing cost of non-traumatic dental patient seen at the ER as billed to the government. Direct costs from Ontario and Alberta were used to estimate the cost for BC. Indirect cost relates to loss of income in terms of time spent at the ER only. Results: Between years 2012 and 2013, the number of visits for non-traumatic dental conditions at the ERs in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia were 135,570 (1.16% of the total number of ER visits), 69,247 (1.51% of the total number of ER visits) and 22,786 (1% of the total number of ER visits), respectively. Out of 74, the 29 reporting emergency departments in 2013 in BC showed that the majority of the visits for non-traumatic dental conditions (70%) were made by adults between the ages 20 and 64 years-old; the most common complaints were dental and periapical abscesses and dental caries. The majority (70%) of non-traumatic dental patients in BC were non-urgent. On average the patients spent around 2 hours at the ERs at a cost ranging from $185.15 to $245.51 each to British Columbians, up to $2.99 million per year. Conclusion: Although not all emergency departments in BC report data on non-traumatic dental visits, the cost to the tax payers is substantial. It was estimated to be between $185.15 and $245.51, whether using data from either Alberta or Ontario, respectively; the cost sums up to a total of $2.25 to $2.99 million per year for 29 of 74 reporting ERs. Therefore, use of emergency rooms for non-traumatic dental conditions not only adds an extra burden and contributes to overcrowding, but also makes the health care system costly.
