description: In 1955, Robert Schuller planted a church at a drive-in theatre in Orange County, California. Within decades, church membership multiplied many times over. Schuller became famous for his televised ministry, theology on self-esteem, and glass and steel church building, the Crystal Cathedral. Now, in 2012, the Crystal Cathedral Ministries has come apart. While commentators blame recent economic and familial troubles for the church’s downfall, this thesis argues that understanding decline first requires understanding success. Looking at the 1980s, the church’s peak era, it suggests that Schuller was in tune with the times, catering to a suburbanized society that was thirsty for therapy and fascinated with celebrity culture. The thrust of this thesis is not to negate the importance of recent struggles, but rather to take success with failure, fleshing out the story of the Crystal Cathedral while also giving new texture to the historiographical record on church growth and decline.

description: Experiments have been performed to measure magnetoelectric properties of room temperature spirally ordered Sr3Co2Fe24O41 hexaferrite slabs. The measured properties include the magnetic permeability, the magnetization and the strain all as a function of the electric field E and the magnetic intensity H. The material hexaferrite Sr3Co2Fe24O41 exhibits broken symmetries for both time reversal and parity. The product of the two symmetries remains unbroken. This is the central feature of these magnetoelectric materials. A simple physical model is proposed to explain the magnetoelectric effect in these materials.

description: A hypothesis on the physical mechanism generating the heartbeat instability in complex (dusty) plasmas is presented. It is suggested that the instability occurs due to the periodically repeated critical transformation on the boundary between the microparticle-free area (void) and the complex plasma. The critical transformation is supposed to be analogous to the formation of the sheath in the vicinity of an electrode. The origin of the transformation is the loss of the electrons and ions on microparticles surrounding the void. We have shown that this hypothesis is consistent with the experimentally measured stability parameter range, with the evolution of the plasma glow intensity and microparticle dynamics during the instability, as well as with the observed excitation of the heartbeat instability by an intensity-modulated laser beam, tuned to the atomic transition of a working gas.

description: Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) that form from the collapse of density perturbations are more clustered than the underlying density field. In a previous paper, we showed the constraints that this has on the prospects of PBH dark matter. In this paper we examine another consequence of this clustering: the formation of bound systems of PBHs in the early universe. These would hypothetically be the earliest gravitationally collapsed structures, forming when the universe is still radiation dominated. Depending upon the size and occupation of the clusters, PBH merging occurs before they would have otherwise evaporated due to Hawking evaporation.

description: We propose a hybrid algorithmic strategy for complex stochastic optimization problems, which combines the use of scenario trees from multistage stochastic programming with machine learning techniques for learning a policy in the form of a statistical model, in the context of constrained vector-valued decisions. Such a policy allows one to run out-of-sample simulations over a large number of independent scenarios, and obtain a signal on the quality of the approximation scheme used to solve the multistage stochastic program. We propose to apply this fast simulation technique to choose the best tree from a set of scenario trees. A solution scheme is introduced, where several scenario trees with random branching structure are solved in parallel, and where the tree from which the best policy for the true problem could be learned is ultimately retained. Numerical tests show that excellent trade-offs can be achieved between run times and solution quality.

description: The Isachsen Formation is a Barremian to Aptian-aged fluvio-deltaic succession ranging in thickness from tens of meters to over 1400 m within the Sverdrup Basin of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. The formation exhibits a variety of lithologies including coarse-grained quartz-arenite sandstones, fine-grained ripple laminated sandstones and siltstones, marine mudstones and coal deposits that were deposited in meandering, braided stream, coastal plain and shallow marine shelf depositional environments. This study classifies the Isachsen Formation as a mixture of recycled and craton derived sediments prograding northwest through the Sverdrup Basin with both source and reservoir potential in previously overlooked areas. Sedimentation during this time period was affected by active diapirism in some locations on Ellef Ringnes Island. Interpretations are based on observations from over 6,000 m of measured stratigraphic sections, local mapping of facies contacts, palynology, sandstone petrography and field sample studies trough geochemical and rock pyrolysis evaluation.

description: The study of the molecular mechanism of substrate recognition/binding by multidrug resistance transporters has taken different approaches. I have utilized a PCR-driven site-directed mutagenesis analysis to alter conserved amino acid residues within the Escherichia coli small multidrug transporter, EmrE. The EmrE variants generated were further assessed for their resistance ability to 19 structurally different quaternary cationic compounds (QCC) using a high-throughput microtitre plate assay. The underlying hypothesis is that the mutation of conserved amino acids will alter the resistance profile of EmrE to structurally different QCC and identify the specificity of these residues to specific characteristic(s) of QCC. Based on 1,254 resistance profiles, the plasticity of EmrE binding pocket can be explained by the presence of conserved amino acid residues with different substrate preferences. The significance of studying EmrE is that it provides an excellent model for understanding the polysubstrate specificity on a molecular basis relatable to other major transporters.

description: Co/CoO multilayers are fabricated by means of radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. For the formation of each multilayer period, a Co layer is initially produced followed by natural oxidation. Platinum is used not only as buffer and capping layers, but also in the form of intermediate ultrathin layers to enhance perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. Three samples are compared with respect to the magnetic anisotropies and exchange bias between 4–300 K based on superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry measurements. Two of the multilayers are identical Co/CoO/Pt ones; one of them, however, is grown on a Co/Pt “magnetic substrate” to induce perpendicular magnetic anisotropy via exchange coupling through an ultrathin Pt intermediate layer. The third multilayer is of the form Co/CoO/Co/Pt. The use of a “magnetic substrate” results in the observation of loops with large remanence when the field applies perpendicular to the film plane. The CoO/Co interfaces lead to a significant exchange bias at low temperatures after field cooling. The largest exchange bias was observed in the film with double Co/CoO/Co interfaces. Consequently, significant perpendicular anisotropy coexists with large exchange bias, especially at low temperatures. Such samples can be potentially useful for applications related to spintronics and magnetic storage.

description: This thesis demonstrates the benefits of Active Intrusion Detection (AID). AID is a principled method for generating probes driven by the execution of a custom decision mechanism. AID is different from traditional intrusion detection because it generates probes in an active fashion and engages network entities in dialogues meant to fingerprint and reveal internal or unique characteristics. This thesis demonstrates the detection of suspicious intrusions by dynamically and interactively transmitting network probes. These probes are customized according to the current state of the network, and is called Active Probing[1]. Active probing can detect misconfigured or rogue services on the network. I focus on the feasibility of AID in a Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) scenario, given the intense interest in BYOD, as computing evolves. The work demonstrated here helps a device in the BYOD scenario to establish trust in the network that it enters. Establishment of trust is necessary because of the lack of authentication and authorization at lower levels of the network. Adversaries can exploit this weakness to set up rogue services on a network. They can also configure network services in an incorrect way, in an attempt to exploit an existing vulnerability in any entity on the network. Dearth of trust enables the existence of misconfigured or rogue services on the network, which is described in Williamson et al.[2] as the Deception Surface. I adopt the abstract probing model proposed by Williamson et al. and construct systems called ProActive and AndroidNetApp. I explore elected aspects of the HTTP protocol in a BYOD setting using ProActive, conduct various experiments, and analyze the results obtained. Active probing is slightly more expensive than randomly probing the target entity to determine its identity, but ProActive's accuracy compensates for the extra time it consumes. References: [1].

description: Recently the sparse representation based classification (SRC) has been proposed for robust face recognition (FR). In SRC, the testing image is coded as a sparse linear combination of the training samples, and the representation fidelity is measured by the l2-norm or l1-norm of the coding residual. Such a sparse coding model assumes that the coding residual follows Gaussian or Laplacian distribution, which may not be effective enough to describe the coding residual in practical FR systems. Meanwhile, the sparsity constraint on the coding coefficients makes SRC's computational cost very high. In this paper, we propose a new face coding model, namely regularized robust coding (RRC), which could robustly regress a given signal with regularized regression coefficients. By assuming that the coding residual and the coding coefficient are respectively independent and identically distributed, the RRC seeks for a maximum a posterior solution of the coding problem. An iteratively reweighted regularized robust coding (IR3C) algorithm is proposed to solve the RRC model efficiently. Extensive experiments on representative face databases demonstrate that the RRC is much more effective and efficient than state-of-the-art sparse representation based methods in dealing with face occlusion, corruption, lighting and expression changes, etc.

description: Recognition can be associated with experiences of recollection and/or familiarity. Bodner and Lindsay (2003) found that critical items were more likely to be experienced as recollected (vs. familiar) when tested with a set of less (vs. more) memorable items. But it remains unclear whether test context influences participants’ functional definitions of recollection/familiarity or the strength of their recognition experiences. There is also a debate regarding whether pupil dilation at test reflects cognitive effort, memory strength, and/or the recreation of encoding effort. To help clarify these issues, my thesis examined the effects of levels-of-processing (LOP) and test context on recognition experiences and pupil dilation. Pupil dilation at study and test, and for recollection versus familiarity, provided partial support for all three bases of pupil dilation. In contrast, pupil dilation was not influenced by test context, suggesting context influences a judgment stage (not reflected in the pupil), rather than the recognition experience.

description: The effect of thermal fluctuations in Josephson junctions is usually analysed using the Ambegaokar-Halperin (AH) theory in the context of thermal activation. "Enhanced" fluctuations, demonstrated by broadening of current-voltage characteristics, have previously been found for proximity Josephson junctions. Here we report measurements of micron-scale normal metal loops contacted with thin superconducting electrodes, where the unconventional loop geometry enables tuning of the junction barrier with applied flux; for some geometries, the barrier can be effectively eliminated. Stronger fluctuations are observed when the flux threading the normal metal loop is near an odd half-integer flux quantum, and for devices with thinner superconducting electrodes. These findings suggest that the activation barrier, which is the Josephson coupling energy of the proximity junction, is different from that of conventional Josephson junctions. Simple one dimensional quasiclassical theory can predict the interference effect due to the loop structure, but the exact magnitude of the coupling energy cannot be computed without taking into account the details of the sample dimensions. In this way, the physics of this system is similar to the phase slipping process in thin superconducting wires. Besides shedding light on thermal fluctuations in proximity junctions, the findings here also demonstrate a new type of superconducting interference device with two normal branches sharing the same SN interface on both sides of the device, which has technical advantages for making symmetrical interference devices.

description: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is considered the most common disabling neurological condition in young people, and it can significantly affect the quality of life of those living with the condition. Mental illness is an important dimension of MS (Feinstein, 2004; Rodgers & Bland, 1996). People with MS have an elevated prevalence of anxiety disorders (Korostil & Feinstein, 2007), psychotic and mood disorders (Patten, Svenson, & Metz, 2005b). The objectives of this study were to estimate the incidence and to conduct an exploratory analysis on the potential determinants of incidence of depression in MS. Participants in this prospective cohort study (n=188) were followed for six months, starting with two baseline risk factor assessments then completing a depression screening instrument, the PHQ-9, every 2 weeks. At monthly intervals, information was collected on potential risk factors, using standard items from existing validated scales and instruments. Associations were estimated using prevalence ratios (PR) and hazard ratios (HR). A response feature analysis used standard deviation of total depression scores to categorize participants in an alternative way to the typical depression high/low cut-point measures. Baseline cross-sectional analyses found a depression prevalence estimate of 22% using the traditional PHQ-9 cut-point of 10. Predictors of incidence included low self-esteem (HR=4.9), perceived inability to cope with demands of daily life (HR=5.4) low self-efficacy (HR=5.0) and task oriented coping (HR=0.2). The response feature analysis found there is a group of non-depressed participants with high PHQ-9 score variability that shares some risk factors with the depressed patients. These results indicate depression in MS exhibits a risk factor profile similar to that of depression in the general population, with the additional impact of MS illness-related factors. Depression in MS is often regarded as being neurologically induced due to brain lesions, inflammation or axonal loss. While these results do not obviate this possibility, they provide a clear indication that depression in MS exhibits a risk factor profile characterized prominently by psychological and social factors. Future research should adopt a greater focus on such determinants, particularly coping with stress style, which may provide unrecognized opportunities for prevention and/or treatment of depression in this population.

description: Целью работы явилось повышение эффективности комбинированного реконструктивно-восстановительного лечения различных типов рубцовых деформаций мягких тканей головы и шеи на основании оценочных шкал. Исследование выполнено на выборке из 200 пациентов с различными типами рубцовых деформаций мягких тканей головы и шеи. Для клинической оценки кожных рубцов использовали Ванкуверскую шкалу рубцов. Для оценки качества жизни нами оценивались критерии по стандартному дерматологическому вопроснику - ДИКЖ. Оценку психофизического статуса пациентов проводили по методике САН (самочувствие, активность, настроение). На основании результатов установлено, что у пациентов с гипертрофическими рубцовыми деформациями наибольшее влияние на активность и настроение пациентов оказывал метод реконструктивно-восстановительного лечения с введением жировой ткани и аутологичной плазмы, тогда как у пациентов с келоидными рубцами - комбинация криолазерной деструкции. В комплексном лечении пациентов с рубцовыми деформациями мягких тканей головы и шеи целесообразно использовать оценку типа и сроков появления рубцовых деформаций, психоэмоционального статуса и качества жизни. Это необходимо для адекватного выбора методов их лечения с целью достижения максимального лечебного эффекта.

description: Drilling in permafrost and at low temperature are two challenges that complicate Arctic operation. Addressing these challenges require new approaches in drilling fluid design and optimization. This experimental study proposes formulations for low-toxic anti-freeze agents and non-solid polymer system. Tests are conducted to verify that 5% NaCl + 5% KCl + 30% glycerol are effective to maintain the freezing point below -20°C. Experiments were performed on the influence of anti-freeze agent on the rheological and filtration control of polymer solutions. Three formulated polymer systems are demonstrated to be able to generate desirable viscosity and yield point to provide efficient hole cleaning at temperature range of -20°C ~ 0°C. The desirable filtration characteristics are shown by generating the minimized volume of filtrate. A rheological model describing the flow behavior of anti-freeze polymer fluids is selected and used to predict the frictional pressure loss in a simulated mud circulation.

General concepts, relevant quantities, and basic requirements for spin-based quantum computing are explained; opportunities and challenges of spin-orbit interaction and nuclear spins are reviewed. We discuss recent achievements, present current theoretical proposals, and make several suggestions for further experiments.

description: Optical beam steering is a key element in many industrial and scientific applications like in material processing, information technologies, medical imaging and laser display. Even though galvanometer-based scanners offer flexibility, speed and accuracy at a relatively low cost, they still lack the necessary control over the polarization required for certain applications. We report on the development of a polarization steerable system assembled with a fiber polarization controller and a galvanometric scanner, both controlled by a digital signal processor board. The system implements control of the polarization decoupled from the pointing direction through a feed-forward control scheme. This enables to direct optical beams to a desired direction without affecting its initial polarization state. When considering the full working field of view, we are able to compensate polarization angle errors larger than 0.2 rad, in a temporal window of less than $\sim 20$ ms. Given the unification of components to fully control any polarization state while steering an optical beam, the proposed system is potentially integrable and robust.

description: The objective of this research was to determine if there were more cases of contamination in 2013 than in previous years. To determine private groundwater wells in the Calgary Health Zone were impacted by the flood in June 2013, and finally determine what environmental variables influence contamination during a flooding event. The analysis utilizes, test results of total coliform and E.coli of private water wells were obtained though Alberta Health Services’ Provincial Laboratory (ProvLab) for the period of June 19th to September 30th, 2013. The analysis was completed using ArcGIS 10.2 and R 3.0.2. The results of the regression indicate that total coliform contamination was not impacted by the flood, however, E.coli contamination was impacted by floodways, flood fringe, farms, and intermittent water (sloughs).

Characterization of a novel fluorescent reporter of genomic imprinting in the mouse
Creators: name: Jones, Meaghan Jessica
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Regulation of inserted transcriptional units by epigenetic means has been reported for many years, and has been used to study characteristics of epigenetic regulation. Some of these transgenes have become regulated by genomic imprinting, and thus are expressed from only one of the two parental chromosomes and, occasionally, acquire parent-of-origin-specific epigenetic markings such as DNA methylation. These transgenes in particular have been useful in elucidating mechanisms of imprinted regulation. Here is described the first imprinted fluorescent transgene, a green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene inserted in the distal MMU7 imprinted domain between the imprinting centers 1 and 2 (IC1 and IC2) regulated regions. This transgene, called Tel7KI, exhibits imprinted expression only from the maternal allele, and is silenced and DNA methylated on the paternal allele in post-implantation embryos. In the embryo this allele-specificity is consistent throughout all tissues and developmental stages analyzed except the developing germ line, making Tel7KI a potential reporter of epigenetic reprogramming in that lineage. In the placenta, imprinted expression and DNA methylation of Tel7KI is lost, and both alleles are expressed and methylated at moderate levels. Finally, an analysis of the effect of IC2 on silencing of Tel7KI in an embryonic stem cell differentiation assay revealed a possible extension of the region of influence for that imprinting centre a further 300kb proximal. Thus, Tel7KI has the potential to be an extremely useful tool in the study of genomic imprinting.
Two-dimensional systems with competing interactions: microphase formation under the effect of a disordered porous matrix

description: We have investigated the effect of a disordered porous matrix on the cluster microphase formation of a two dimensional system where particles interact via competing interactions. To this end we have performed extensive Monte Carlo simulations and have systematically varied the densities of the fluid and of the matrix as well as the interaction between the matrix particles and between the matrix and fluid particles. Our results provide evidence that the matrix does have a distinct effect on the microphase formation of the fluid particles: as long as the particles interact both among themselves as well as with the fluid particles via a simple hard sphere potential, they essentially reduce the available space, in which the fluid particles form a cluster microphase. On the other hand, if we turn on a long-range tail in the matrix-matrix and in the matrix-fluid interactions, the matrix particles become nucleation centers for the clusters formed by the fluid particles.

title: Legislation as commitment – a defence of the ‘Standard Picture’ of statutory law on the basis of a commitment-based theory of communication
Creators: name: Shardimgaliev, Marat
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2022

description: According to the Standard Picture of how law works, the content of the law that is created by legal texts such as statutes and constitutional provisions is determined by the meaning of these texts. Most proponents of this picture claim more specifically that the relevant notion of meaning in play is the communicative content of legal texts and that communicative content is itself determined by considerations of the intentions of legal authorities. In recent years, the Standard Picture has become the subject of heated philosophical debate. Focusing on statutes as the paradigmatic type of legal texts, this thesis aims to contribute to this debate in two central ways. First, it argues that the aforementioned ‘intention-based’ versions of the Standard Picture lack convincing responses to three important objections that have been raised by critics. First, they lack an adequate account of how legislative bodies can be reasonably ascribed the intentions that they would need according to such versions. Second, they fail to explain important aspects of legal practice. Third, they provide at best a parochial theory of the content of the law that is generated by statutes. The second contribution is to provide a more sustained defence of the Standard Picture by developing a new ‘commitment�based’ version of this view. This version is based on an alternative theory of communication and claims that communicative content is not determined by considerations of intentions but rather by the commitments that are incurred by means of communicative acts. It is argued that this version can deal with the objections that have been raised by critics and therefore provides a more robust version of the Standard Picture.
Evidence for Hydrothermal Influences During Deposition in Organic Shale Using XRF and SEM Techniques in the Horn River Group and Besa River Formation, Northeast British Columbia, Canada

description: Chemical stratigraphy has a variety of applications in both academic and commercial geology studies. Current mainstream belief is that the Horn River Group and analogous Devonian organic shale units in North America were deposited in a restricted anoxic basin and silicified due to diatom and radiolarian tests producing concentrations of biogenic silica (Bustin & Ross, 2009). This hypothesis proposes that relative sea level changes and associated seawater chemistry are the primary controls on preservation of organic matter and the formation of pyrite. After studying these rocks using XRF and SEM techniques there is little evidence to support the claims. There is however strong evidence of syn-depositional hydrothermal fluid interactions with the sediments originating from extensional faulting. SEDEX type mineralization and hydrothermal minerals including hyalophane, celsian, and potassium feldspar are present in authigenic quartz cements. In addition organics in close proximity show variable maturation and association with quartz cementation.

description: Анализируется «Вечное возвращение того же самого» Ницше в ракурсе его полной несовместимости со «сверхчеловеком», которого никогда еще не было. Но Ницше даже не пытался как-то разрешить эту проблему совместимости несовместимого, поскольку он отвергал всякую «каузальность». Тем не менее, он все же находил возможность совместить то и другое в некоем целом. Так происходит в самой главной идее, составляющей стержень всей философии Ницше — в «воле к власти». Вечное возвращение есть инструмент воли к власти, а сверхчеловек — ее субъект.

description: The Dirac monopole on a three-dimensional torus is considered as a solution to the Bogomolny equation with non-trivial boundary conditions. The analytical continuation of the obtained solution is shown to be a three-dimensional generalization of the Kronecker series. It satisfies the corresponding functional equation and is invariant under modular transformations.

description: This paper is a brief review of the status of the search for astrophysical neutrinos of high energy. Its emphasis is on the search for a hard spectrum of neutrinos from the whole Northern sky above the steeply falling background of atmospheric neutrinos. Current limits are so low that they are beginning to constrain models of the origin of extragalactic cosmic rays. Systematic effects stemming from incomplete knowledge of the background of atmospheric neutrinos are discussed.

description: Asphaltenes enriched heavy oil production is increasing worldwide, and consequently, an increase of these molecules is expected. The oil industry is challenged to explore new alternatives that allow converting asphaltenes into valuable products by economical feasible routes. The solubilization in water of asphaltenes has recently received attention due to the ease of mobilization and high level of dispersion of the resulting compounds. A first attempt to post-process this new water soluble material is here undertaken via selective adsorption followed by adsorbed molecules hydroprocessing. Different solids were screened at room temperature and batch conditions, and the asphaltenes uptake from water media was quantified. A packed bed reactor setup was built to investigate the adsorption of water soluble asphaltenes at various operating conditions, and subsequently, hydroprocessing tests were carried out using three NiMo catalysts supported on the adsorbent at 2 wt%, 5 wt% and 8 wt%. The 2% catalyst showed the highest selectivity towards liquid products, whereas the highest conversion was obtained in the 5% run. The last one yielded the lightest products, whereas the heaviest were obtained utilizing the 8% NiMo catalyst. From this research, a novel process implementing a battery of packed bed reactors could be proposed for development. This process could significantly improve distillate yields and liquid selectivity out of asphaltenes, which is an encouraging outcome of this thesis.
