description: We model the cosmological substratum by a viscous fluid that is supposed to provide a unified description of the dark sector and pressureless baryonic matter. In the homogeneous and isotropic background the \textit{total} energy density of this mixture behaves as a generalized Chaplygin gas. The perturbations of this energy density are intrinsically non-adiabatic and source relative entropy perturbations. The resulting baryonic matter power spectrum is shown to be compatible with the 2dFGRS and SDSS (DR7) data. A joint statistical analysis, using also Hubble-function and supernovae Ia data, shows that, different from other studies, there exists a maximum in the probability distribution for a negative present value $q_{0} \approx - 0.53$ of the deceleration parameter. Moreover, different from other approaches, the unified model presented here favors a matter content that is of the order of the baryonic matter abundance suggested by big-bang nucleosynthesis.

description: Our goal is to limit the redshifts of three blazars PG 1553+113, 3C 66A and PKS 1424+240, through the investigation of their Fermi and VHE (very high energy) $γ$-ray observations. We assume that the intrinsic spectra of PG 1553+113, 3C 66A, and PKS 1424+240 have not any cutoff across the Fermi and VHE $γ$-ray energy ranges. The intrinsic spectra of VHE $γ$-rays are obtained through the extrapolation of Fermi spectra. Comparing the measured and intrinsic VHE spectra due to extragalactic background light (EBL) absorption, we give the redshift upper limits of three blazars assuming a specific EBL model. The redshift upper limits of PG 1553+113, 3C 66A and PKS 1424+240 are 0.78, 0.58, and 1.19 respectively. Near the TeV energy the optical depth of VHE $γ$ photons might be overestimated by Franceschini (2008) EBL model, or the second emission component might be present in the VHE spectra and lead the intrinsic photon index harder than the Fermi ones.

Impurity states on the honeycomb lattice using the Green's function method

description: Using the Green's function method, we study the effect of an impurity potential on the electronic structure of the honeycomb lattice in the one-band tight-binding model that contains both the nearest neighbor ($t$) and the second neighbor ($t'$) interactions. The model is relevant to the case of the substitutional vacancy in graphene. If the second neighbor interaction is large enough ($t' > t /3$), then the linear Dirac bands no longer occur at the Fermi energy and the electronic structure is therefore fundamentally changed. With only the nearest neighbor interactions present, there is particle-hole symmetry, as a result of which the vacancy induces a "zero-mode" state at the band center with its wave function entirely on the majority sublattice, i. e., on the sublattice not containing the vacancy. With the introduction of the second neighbor interaction, the zero-mode state broadens into a resonance peak and its wave function spreads into both sublattices, as may be argued from the Lippmann-Schwinger equation. The zero-mode state disappears entirely for the triangular lattice and if $t'$ is large for the honeycomb lattice as well. In case of graphene, $t'$ is relatively small, so that a well-defined zero-mode state occurs in the vicinity of the band center.

description: Special features of the crystal field splitting of $d-$levels in the transition metal compounds with the small or negative charge-transfer gap $Δ_{CT}$ are considered. We show that in this case the Coulomb term and the covalent contribution to the $t_{2g} - e_g$ splitting have different signs. In order to check the theoretical predictions we carried out the ab-initio band structure calculations for Cs$_2$Au$_2$Cl$_6$, in which the charge-transfer gap is negative, so that the $d-$electrons predominantly occupy low-lying bonding states. For these states the $e_g$-levels lie below $t_{2g}$ ones, which demonstrates that at least in this case the influence of the $p-d$ covalency on the total value of the crystal field splitting is stronger than the Coulomb interaction (which would lead to the opposite level order). We also show that the states in conduction band are made predominantly of $p-$states of ligands (Cl), with small admixture of $d-$states of Au.

description: X-ray charge-coupled devices (CCDs) are the workhorse detectors of modern X-ray astronomy. Typically covering the 0.3-10.0 keV energy range, CCDs are able to detect photoelectric absorption edges and K shell lines from most abundant metals. New CCDs also offer resolutions of 30-50 (E/dE), which is sufficient to detect lines in hot plasmas and to resolve many lines shaped by dynamical processes in accretion flows. The spectral capabilities of X-ray CCDs have been particularly important in detecting relativistic emission lines from the inner disks around accreting neutron stars and black holes. One drawback of X-ray CCDs is that spectra can be distorted by photon "pile-up", wherein two or more photons may be registered as a single event during one frame time. We have conducted a large number of simulations using a statistical model of photon pile-up to assess its impacts on relativistic disk line and continuum spectra from stellar-mass black holes and neutron stars. The simulations cover the range of current X-ray CCD spectrometers and operational modes typically used to observe neutron stars and black holes in X-ray binaries. Our results suggest that severe photon pile-up acts to falsely narrow emission lines, leading to falsely large disk radii and falsely low spin values. In contrast, our simulations suggest that disk continua affected by severe pile-up are measured to have falsely low flux values, leading to falsely small radii and falsely high spin values. The results of these simulations and existing data appear to suggest that relativistic disk spectroscopy is generally robust against pile-up when this effect is modest.

description: Price analysis was used to determine if the behavior of weekly lettuce prices at shipping points and wholesale terminal markets is generally consistent with a competitive marketing system. Results indicated that the winter lettuce market in 1966-68 performed in an orderly and competitive manner. Prices at different locations were established that were consistent with marketing costs--transportation, storage, and handling. Prices at all locations in the marketing system were closely correlated. Margins were related to the distance transported and the price of the commodity. Shipping-point prices of lettuce were inversely related to the supply of product available. Wholesale terminal market prices directly responded to shifts in shipping-point prices. The marketing system for fresh winter lettuce generally performed efficiently in establishing prices that cleared the supply of perishable produce each day and week of the marketing season.

We point out that in stably causal spacetimes, by using the (time-dependent) ADM decomposition, this result can be extended to general non-stationary spacetimes - the causal structure (conformal structure) of the full spacetime is completely encoded in a parameterized (time-dependent) class of Randers spaces, which can then be used to define a Fermat principle, and also to reconstruct the null cones and causal structure.

If you build it, will they be protected? : the evaluation of an occupational health and infection control capacity building program for healthcare workers in Free State, South Africa
Creators: name: Liautaud, Alexandre
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Infection control and occupational health training among healthcare workers (HCWs) is insufficient in under-resourced systems. This is especially concerning in systems with high HIV and tuberculosis (TB) burdens where HCW exposure risk can be considerable. There is an urgent need to understand how to best develop and deliver effective capacity building programs for healthcare workers in these fields. This research examined a one-year certificate program in Free State, South Africa that aimed to empower HCWs to act as agents of change by building their capacity to conduct workplace-based HIV and TB prevention interventions. A mixed method approach was utilized. First, quantitative data were collected from self-reported Likert-style questionnaires administered to HCWs pre, mid, and post enrolment in the program. Questionnaire components included reactions to the program, and learning assessments (i.e., Knowledge, Attitudes, Skills, and Practices [KASPs]). Additionally, individual interviews, participant observations, and group project evaluations were used in the analysis. Questionnaire data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Interview data were thematically coded and analyzed based on the Kirkpatrick framework. Projects were descriptively analyzed. Participatory observations supplemented and contextualized these data. Participants (n=32) were mostly female (81%) nurses (56%). Findings from the questionnaires demonstrated that pre to post mean scores improved in Knowledge (+12%,Z=3.1,p=0.002) and Skills/Practices (+14%,Z=-3.1,p=0.002). Attitudes scores did not change. Interview data revealed that participants had been empowered and showed attitudinal improvements regarding HIV, TB, infection control and occupational health. Project evaluations, however, showed that participants had acquired only moderate-low proficiency in applying the subject matter to their interventions, although the projects did affect meaningful improvements in some workplaces. Participatory observations and interviews highlighted the resource-intensive nature of the program. Workplace training can strengthen HCWs’ occupational health and infection control KASPs. This capacity building initiative did result in the implementation of positive changes in workplaces, and empowered participants to be agents of change within their communities. However, the resources needed for this program, coupled with the low baseline skill levels of participants were challenges. When designing an intervention, baseline educational levels, institutional politics, sustainability, and resource effectiveness are important determinants of success.

Anchorage of stirrups in prestressed concrete I-girders
Creators: name: Hui, Macarious Kin Fung
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: The current research investigates the performance of commonly-used non-code-compliant stirrup detailing in concrete I-girder bridges, specifically when the lower hooks on the stirrups are oriented parallel to the longitudinal prestressing strands and are not bent around any longitudinal bars. Such detailing does not meet the specifications in the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code CSA S6-06. An experimental investigation was conducted on full-scale partial sections of a concrete I-girder to evaluate the performance of such non-code-compliant stirrup anchorages by comparing their performance to the performance of code-compliant stirrup anchorages. An analysis of an example concrete I-girder bridge was conducted to determine the demands on the stirrup anchorage during the tests. In the tests, the flexural tension force was applied to the prestressing strand while a diagonal force was applied to the web of the test specimens at approximately 30° to the longitudinal axis of the specimen. Two pairs of stirrups were fixed to a support as the diagonal force was applied. The ratio of the slip of the stirrup to the strain along the exposed length of the stirrup, which equals to the debonded length, was monitored in order to observe the performance of the stirrup anchorage. After applying many cycles of the diagonal force, including about 100 cycles after yielding of the stirrups, the non-code-compliant hooks were found to perform adequately.
Vector Broadcast Channels: Optimality of Threshold Feedback Policies

description: Beamforming techniques utilizing only partial channel state information (CSI) has gained popularity over other communication strategies requiring perfect CSI thanks to their lower feedback requirements. The amount of feedback in beamforming based communication systems can be further reduced through selective feedback techniques in which only the users with channels good enough are allowed to feed back by means of a decentralized feedback policy. In this paper, we prove that thresholding at the receiver is the rate-wise optimal decentralized feedback policy for feedback limited systems with prescribed feedback constraints. This result is highly adaptable due to its distribution independent nature, provides an analytical justification for the use of threshold feedback policies in practical systems, and reinforces previous work analyzing threshold feedback policies as a selective feedback technique without proving its optimality. It is robust to selfish unilateral deviations. Finally, it reduces the search for rate-wise optimal feedback policies subject to feedback constraints from function spaces to a finite dimensional Euclidean space.

The magnitude of such contributions depends on the particular DM candidate, but certain imprints of produced photon spectra may be analyzed in a model-independent fashion. In this work we provide the fitting formulae for the photon spectra generated by WIMP annihilation into quarks, leptons and gauge bosons channels in a wide range of WIMP masses.

description: Adaptive OFDMA has recently been recognized as a promising technique for providing high spectral efficiency in future broadband wireless systems. The research over the last decade on adaptive OFDMA systems has focused on adapting the allocation of radio resources, such as subcarriers and power, to the instantaneous channel conditions of all users. However, such "fast" adaptation requires high computational complexity and excessive signaling overhead. This hinders the deployment of adaptive OFDMA systems worldwide. This paper proposes a slow adaptive OFDMA scheme, in which the subcarrier allocation is updated on a much slower timescale than that of the fluctuation of instantaneous channel conditions. Meanwhile, the data rate requirements of individual users are accommodated on the fast timescale with high probability, thereby meeting the requirements except occasional outage. Such an objective has a natural chance constrained programming formulation, which is known to be intractable. To circumvent this difficulty, we formulate safe tractable constraints for the problem based on recent advances in chance constrained programming. We then develop a polynomial-time algorithm for computing an optimal solution to the reformulated problem. Our results show that the proposed slow adaptation scheme drastically reduces both computational cost and control signaling overhead when compared with the conventional fast adaptive OFDMA. Our work can be viewed as an initial attempt to apply the chance constrained programming methodology to wireless system designs. Given that most wireless systems can tolerate an occasional dip in the quality of service, we hope that the proposed methodology will find further applications in wireless communications.

description: Threshold feedback policies are well known and provably rate-wise optimal selective feedback techniques for communication systems requiring partial channel state information (CSI). However, optimal selection of thresholds at mobile users to maximize information theoretic data rates subject to feedback constraints is an open problem. In this paper, we focus on the optimal threshold selection problem, and provide a solution for this problem for finite feedback systems. Rather surprisingly, we show that using the same threshold values at all mobile users is not always a rate-wise optimal feedback strategy, even for a system with identical users experiencing statistically the same channel conditions. By utilizing the theory of majorization, we identify an underlying Schur-concave structure in the rate function and obtain sufficient conditions for a homogenous threshold feedback policy to be optimal. Our results hold for most fading channel models, and we illustrate an application of our results to familiar Rayleigh fading channels.

description: Strategy tools are frequently used in organizations and extensively taught in educational institutions. However, the real impact of strategy tools in practice is still uncertain. In addition, strategy tools can also introduce misunderstandings and are by no means guarantees for establishing shared meaning. This study analyzes the gaze behavior, i. e., eye movements, of 91 decision makers. Therein, it is determined that the gaze of decision makers carries significant predictive value for the actual decisions made and is closely linked to the cognitive processing of the decision makers. These results establish eye tracking as a viable method for analyzing the individual interpretation of strategy tools by users and contribute to an under-represented area of strategic management research. The authors raise awareness to the importance of the gaze on information processing and provide ideas on how those insights can be used to establish shared meaning in organizations.

description: We present an analysis of the hot interstellar medium (ISM) in the spiral galaxy NGC 4490, which is interacting with the irregular galaxy NGC 4485, using ~100ks of Chandra ACIS-S observations. The high angular resolution of Chandra enables us to remove discrete sources and perform spatially resolved spectroscopy for the star forming regions and associated outflows, allowing us to look at how the physical properties of the hot ISM such as temperature, hydrogen column density and metal abundances vary throughout these galaxies. We find temperatures of >0.41 keV and 0.85 +0.59/-0.12 keV, electron densities of >1.87 eta^(-1/2) x 10^(-3) cm^(-3) and 0.21 +0.03/-0.04 eta^(-1/2) x 10^(-3) cm^(-3), and hot gas masses of >1.1 eta^(1/2) x 10^7 M_{\odot} and ~3.7 eta^(1/2) x 10^7 M_{\odot} in the plane and halo of NGC 4490 respectively, where eta is the filling factor of the hot gas. The abundance ratios of Ne, Mg and Si with respect to Fe are found to be consistent with those predicted by theoretical models of type II supernovae. The thermal energy in the hot ISM is ~5% of the total mechanical energy input from supernovae, so it is likely that the hot ISM has been enriched and heated by type II supernovae. The X-ray emission is anticorrelated with the H-alpha and mid-infrared emission, suggesting that the hot gas is bounded by filaments of cooler ionized hydrogen mixed with warm dust.

description: Thanks to its simplicity and cost efficiency, wireless local area network (WLAN) enjoys unique advantages in providing high-speed and low-cost wireless services in hot spots and indoor environments. Traditional WLAN medium-access-control (MAC) protocols assume that only one station can transmit at a time: simultaneous transmissions of more than one station cause the destruction of all packets involved. By exploiting recent advances in PHY-layer multiuser detection (MUD) techniques, it is possible for a receiver to receive multiple packets simultaneously. This paper argues that such multipacket reception (MPR) capability can greatly enhance the capacity of future WLANs. In addition, the paper provides the MAC-layer and PHY-layer designs needed to achieve the improved capacity. First, to demonstrate MPR as a powerful capacity-enhancement technique, we prove a "super-linearity" result, which states that the system throughput per unit cost increases as the MPR capability increases. Second, we show that the commonly deployed binary exponential backoff (BEB) algorithm in today's WLAN MAC may not be optimal in an MPR system, and that the optimal backoff factor increases with the MPR capability, the number of packets that can be received simultaneously. Third, based on the above insights, we design a joint MAC-PHY layer protocol for an IEEE 802.11-like WLAN that incorporates advanced PHY-layer signal processing techniques to implement MPR.

Confluence of the law of fresh water resources and international trade : do Canada’s international trade obligations apply to Canada’s fresh water resources?
Creators: name: Nash, Brett Jason
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: This thesis explores whether international trade rules apply to Canada’s fresh water resources. In order to determine if international trade rules apply, in particular the rules contained in GATT 1947, GATT 1994, and NAFTA, three questions are posed by the author. The first question focuses the enquiry on the legal characterization of fresh water resources in the selected international legal instruments to determine the obligations contained in the trade agreements apply. The second question is, if the first question cannot be answered, what other interpretive tools can be employed to come to an answer. Finally, the third question is, if international trade obligations apply the the bulk export of fresh water resources, are there any exemptions which can be employed to limit or prohibit the bulk export of the resource. In order to answer these questions, the author applies a traditional legal doctrinal analysis. This provides a method of analyzing the legal texts of the international agreements and other legal materials in an orderly and systematic manner. Using this methodology, the author engages with the primary materials to determine the ordinary meaning of the words and phrases used in the texts. In addition to the analysis of the legal texts, the author reviews the history of the development of Canada’s international trade and foreign policy through the lens of the international relations theory of exogenous shock. By using the theory of exogenous shock as an interpretive aid, the author is able to provide justification in concluding that the preferred interpretation that Canada’s international trade obligations found in GATT and NAFTA do not apply to Canada’s fresh water resources.

description: The relation of the solar surface magnetic field with mesogranular cells is studied using high spatial (~ 100 km) and temporal (~ 30 sec) resolution data obtained with the IMaX instrument aboard SUNRISE. First, mesogranular cells are identified using Lagrange tracers (corks) based on horizontal velocity fields obtained through Local Correlation Tracking. After ~ 20 min of integration, the tracers delineate a sharp mesogranular network with lanes of width below about 280 km. The preferential location of magnetic elements in mesogranular cells is tested quantitatively. Roughly 85% of pixels with magnetic field higher than 100 G are located in the near neighborhood of mesogranular lanes. Magnetic flux is therefore concentrated in mesogranular lanes rather than intergranular ones. Secondly, magnetic field extrapolations are performed to obtain field lines anchored in the observed flux elements. This analysis, therefore, is independent of the horizontal flows determined in the first part. A probability density function (PDF) is calculated for the distribution of distances between the footpoints of individual magnetic field lines. The PDF has an exponential shape at scales between 1 and 10 Mm, with a constant characteristic decay distance, indicating the absence of preferred convection scales in the mesogranular range. Our results support the view that mesogranulation is not an intrinsic convective scale (in the sense that it is not a primary energy-injection scale of solar convection), but also give quantitative confirmation that, nevertheless, the magnetic elements are preferentially found along mesogranular lanes.

description: A 65-sector input-output model describing the U.S. economy in 1967 provides the basic framework for this study. Grain producing and processing industries are analyzed in terms of their output levels and input structures in interaction with each other and with other sectors of the economy. Results reveal that the grain sectors are significantly economically interdependent. In addition, increases in certain final-demand markets are examined for their effect on the grain producing and processing sectors. Results indicate widely varying impacts on the output levels of the grain sectors
