The forgotten ties : relationships between First Nations people and early Chinese immigrants in British Columbia, Canada (1858-1947)
Creators: name: Chow, Lily Siewsan
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: In recent years, investigations on intermarriage between Aboriginal people or First Nations and the early Chinese immigrants have gained momentum. Journalists and historians began interviewing Canadians with both Chinese and First Nations ancestry, recorded their family story, and produced plays and documentary videos with their findings. Some descendants of these intermarriages acknowledged their ancestries in public and made attempts to find their Chinese roots in China. However, contacts and interactions between these two ethnic groups must have occurred before marital union could take place. The initial association between the First Nations people and the Chinese immigrants took place in 1858, the year when the Fraser Gold Rush began. Thousands of American miners and prospectors flocked to the Fraser Canyon, particularly to Hill’s Bar, followed by hundreds of Chinese miners from California as well as people of many walks of life who wanted to get rich by finding gold. During the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway Andrew Onderdonk employed Aboriginal people, Chinese labourers and other races in his work force. These two vital historical events set the stage for Chinese immigration to Canada as well as provided opportunities for the Chinese immigrants to come in contact and interacted with the Aboriginal people. Their contacts and interactions continued as time progressed and opportunities arose. In this paper attempts are made to explore the many circumstances in which these two ethnic groups interacted with one another that led to the development of friendship, partnership and intermarriage, and how the political, economical and social situations had affected their relationships. Efforts are also made to examine the effects of cultural differences on their intermarriage, and a few key issues that challenged their co-existence as two different ethnic groups.

description: We use radial basis functions to model the input--output response of an electronic device. A new methodology for producing models that accuratly describe the response of the device over a wide range of operating points is introduced. A key to the success of the method is the ability to find a polynomial relationship between the model parameters and the operating points of the device.

description: Starting from the De Witt supermetric and limiting ourselves to a family of geometries characterized by a finite number of geometric invariants we extract the unique integration measure. Such a measure turns out to be a geometric invariant, i.e. independent of the gauge fixed metric used for describing the geometries. The measure is also invariant in form under an arbitrary change of parameters describing the geometries. The additional functional integration on the conformal factor makes the measure independent of the free parameter intervening in the De Witt supermetric. The differences between the case D=2 and $D>2$ are evidenced.

description: We review recent progress in attaining a quantitative understanding of the scarring phenomenon, the non-random behavior of quantum wavefunctions near unstable periodic orbits of a classically chaotic system. The wavepacket dynamics framework leads to predictions about statistical long-time and stationary properties of quantum systems with chaotic classical analogues. Many long-time quantum properties can be quantitatively understood using only short-time classical dynamics information; these include wavefunction intensity distributions, intensity correlations in phase space and correlations between wavefunctions, and distributions of decay rates and conductance peaks in weakly open systems. Strong deviations from random matrix theory are predicted and observed in the presence of short unstable periodic orbits.

description: My dissertation examines how literary and artistic experiments shaped the social relationships and the new culture of wartime China from 1937 to 1945. It investigates this problem by focusing on the making of cultural workers and, in particularly, the creation of cultural institutions that harnessed the creative power of social groups. Narrative experiments and cultural production proliferated in China during the Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945). From the beginning of the war, many writers and artists sought to use cultural production to mobilize the populace in the rural areas of northern China. Engaging with a wide spectrum of individuals and social groups, they experimented with new cultural practices that transformed their own sentiments and actions, thereby inventing themselves as revolutionary cultural workers for the purpose of mobilizing the populace. Their experiments were not only radical attempts at creating the workforce for China’s revolutionary enterprise and should also be understood as part of a worldwide movement of democratic politics. My research shows how innovative narrative experiments intersected with popular spiritual empowerment, cultural transformation, and the revolutionary leadership in modern China. The individual chapters demonstrate how this endeavor entailed cultural-institutional building, including the founding of Lu Xun Academy in Yan’an that recruited artistic and cultural talents to support their war effort. Emerging cultural workers developed new cultural practices in this process and gave life and artistic expression to the revolutionary vision of the populace. Developing new cultural products in this process, they gave narrative life and artistic expression to the revolutionary vision of the mobilizing populace. By the end of the Sino-Japanese War in 1945, a far-reaching Yangge movement, simultaneously modern and traditional, had brought both professional artists as well as the common people to the streets to tell their own stories of the revolution.

description: We present ALMA observations at 233, 678, and 870 GHz of the Galactic Center black hole, Sagittarius A*. These observations reveal a flat spectrum over this frequency range with spectral index $α\approx -0.3$, where the flux density $S \propto ν^α$. We model the submm and far infrared spectrum with a one zone synchrotron model of thermal electrons. We infer electron densities $n = (2-5) \times 10^6$ cm$^{-3}$, electron temperatures $T_e = (1-3) \times 10^{11}$ K, and magnetic field strength $B = 10-50$ G. The parameter range can be further constrained using the observed quiescent X-ray luminosity. The flat submm spectrum results in a high electron temperature and implies that the emitting electrons are efficiently heated. We also find that the emission is most likely optically thin at 233 GHz. These results indicate that millimeter and submillimeter wavelength very long baseline interferometry of Sgr A* including those of the Event Horizon Telescope should see a transparent emission region down to event horizon scales.

The Invention of Memoirs in Renaissance France

Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: Romance literature
History
Rhetoric

description: This dissertation investigates the emergence of the memoir genre in France. Commynes, the author generally regarded as the first memoirist, initially conceived his memoirs as a collection of personal notes to be used by Angelo Cato for a more elaborate history of Louis XI’s reign, but gradually came to consider it an independent, firsthand account. The second half of the sixteenth century witnessed the appearance of an unprecedented and closely-knit group of firsthand historical narratives, circulating in manuscript form or published as memoirs. These texts were responding to the standards set by a new Renaissance historiography, which sought to transform traditional history into a science with political applications. As the early modern paradigm of historiography based on firsthand narrative sources faded away in modern times, memoirs lost their historiographical status and became part of French literature. Most scholars deem Renaissance memoirs rudimentary forms of autobiography that only fully matured in the age of Louis XIV. It is within and against this teleological literary scholarship that my thesis is situated. By re-placing Renaissance memoirs within their original rhetorical context, I argue that the author’s quest for individual self-expression, which has been considered a defining characteristic of memoirs, is an anachronistic and retrospective projection. My dissertation shows that memoirs were originally a collective enterprise and that communal values prevailed in Renaissance self-memorialization. The first formal group of memoirs appeared in the wake of civil and religious wars that endangered traditional forms of social and political representation. Their authors addressed relatively new topics such as the court favorite, reason of state, and national unity. However, all the evidence suggests that their life-writings did not mark a watershed between medieval corporatism and Renaissance individualism, as has been previously thought.

description: In this paper we consider a notion of universal sets for ideals. We show that there exist universal sets of minimal Borel complexity for classic ideals like null subsets of $2^ω$ and meager subsets of any Polish space, and demonstrate that the existence of such sets is helpful in establishing some facts about the real line in generic extensions. We also construct universal sets for $\mathcal{E}$ - the $σ$-ideal generated by closed null subsets of $2^ω$, and for some ideals connected with forcing notions: $\mathcal{K}_σ$ subsets of $ω^ω$ and the Laver ideal. We also consider Fubini products of ideals and show that there are $Σ^0_3$ universal sets for $\mathcal{N}\otimes\mathcal{M}$ and $\mathcal{M}\otimes\mathcal{N}$.

The results lead us to claim that seasonal variability of weather is under influence of low dimensional dynamics, whereas changes of weather from day to day are governed by high dimensional system(s). Error-doubling time of this system is less than 3 days. We suggest that the outstanding feature of the weather dynamics is deterministic chaos.

description: Objectives. Evidence from case-control studies as well as meta-analyses of these study designs suggest elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] to be associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Prospective evidence on the association is limited, uncertain, and could be attributed to regression dilution bias. We aimed to assess the prospective association of Lp(a) with risk of VTE and correct for regression dilution. Design. We related plasma Lp(a) concentrations to the incidence of VTE in 2,180 men of the Kuopio Ischemic Heart Disease cohort study. Hazard ratios (HRs) (95% confidence intervals [CI]) were assessed and repeat measurements of Lp(a) at 4 and 11 years from baseline, were used to correct for within-person variability. Results. After a median follow-up of 24.9 years, 110 validated VTE cases were recorded. The regression dilution ratio of loge Lp(a) adjusted for age was 0.85 (95% CI: 0.82–0.89). In analyses adjusted for several established risk factors and potential confounders, the HR (95% CI) for VTE per 1 SD (equivalent to 3.56-fold) higher baseline loge Lp(a) was 1.06 (0.87–1.30). In pooled analysis of five population-based cohort studies (including the current study) comprising 66,583 participants and 1314 VTE cases, the fully-adjusted corresponding HR for VTE was 1.00 (95% CI: 0.94–1.07), with no evidence of heterogeneity between studies. Conclusions. Primary analysis as well as pooled evidence from previous studies suggest circulating Lp(a) is not prospectively associated with future VTE risk, indicating that evidence of associations demonstrated in case-control designs may be driven by biases such as selection bias.

description: We study a model of a competing population of N adaptive agents, with similar capabilities, repeatedly deciding whether to attend a bar with an arbitrary cutoff L. Decisions are based upon past outcomes. The agents are only told whether the actual attendance is above or below L. For L-> N/2, the game reproduces the main features of Challet and Zhang's minority game. As L is lowered, however, the mean attendances in different runs tend to divide into two groups. The corresponding standard deviations for these two groups are very different. This grouping effect results from the dynamical feedback governing the game's time-evolution, and is not reproduced if the agents are fed a random history.

The Intrinsic Caspase Death Pathway in Stroke Neurodegeneration

subject: FOS: Clinical medicine

description: Stroke has been a major source of morbidity and mortality for centuries. Eight-five percent of all strokes are ischemic in nature, meaning they are caused by the occlusion of a major cerebral artery. Despite extensive research to develop effective treatments for ischemic stroke, therapeutic options remain limited. Apoptosis (also termed "programmed cell death") is a process by which a stressed or damaged cell commits "suicide". In stroke, runaway apoptosis contributes to stroke neurodegeneration and neurological decline for days to weeks after disease onset. Cysteine-ASPartic proteASEs (caspases) are key mediators of apoptosis that are activated in distinct molecular pathways, but their impact in stroke is poorly defined. Direct evidence for caspase activation in stroke and the functional relevance of this activity has not been previously characterized. For this dissertation, we developed an unbiased technique for in vivo trapping of active caspases in rodent models of ischemic stroke. We isolated active caspase-9 as a principal contributor to ischemic neurodegeneration in rodents (Rattus norvegicus and Mus musculus). Caspase-9 is the initiator caspase for   the intrinsic cell death pathway. Intranasal delivery of a novel, cell membrane-penetrating inhibitor for caspase-9 confirmed the pathogenic relevance of caspase-9 activity in stroke. Caspase-9 inhibition provided neurofunctional protection and established caspase-6 as its downstream target.  Caspase-6 is an effector caspase and a member of the intrinsic death pathway that has never been implicated in stroke until now. Coincidentally, we discovered that caspase-6 is specifically activated within the axonal compartment. The temporal and spatial pattern of activation demonstrates that neuronal caspase-9 activity induces caspase-6 activation, which mediates axonal loss in the early stages of stroke (+/- 24 hours). We developed a novel inhibitor for caspase-6, based on a catalytically inactive clone, which demonstrated neuroprotective and axoprotective efficacy against ischemia. Collectively, these results assert that selective inhibition of caspase-9 and caspase-6 is an effective translational strategy for stroke. The impact of caspase activity is not restricted to neuronal death, as caspases can exacerbate inflammation and alter glial function. Thus, caspases are logical therapeutic targets for stroke. However, they have never been clinically evaluated due to a paucity of ideal drug candidates. This dissertation outlines fresh insights into the mechanisms of stroke neurodegeneration and offers novel caspase-based therapeutic strategies for clinical evaluation.

description: The improvement of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is one of the major goals of optoelectronics and photonics research. While emission rate enhancement is certainly one of the targets, in this regard, for LED integration to complex photonic devices, one would require to have, additionally, precise control of the wavefront of the emitted light. Metasurfaces are spatial arrangements of engineered scatters that may enable this light manipulation capability with unprecedented resolution. Most of these devices, however, are only able to function properly under irradiation of light with a large spatial coherence, typically normally incident lasers. LEDs, on the other hand, have angularly broad, Lambertian-like emission patterns characterized by a low spatial coherence, which makes the integration of metasurface devices on LED architectures extremely challenging. A novel concept for metasurface integration on LED is proposed, using a cavity to increase the LED spatial coherence through an angular collimation. Due to the resonant character of the cavity, extending the spatial coherence of the emitted light does not come at the price of any reduction in the total emitted power. The experimental demonstration of the proposed concept is implemented on a GaP LED architecture including a hybrid metallic-Bragg cavity. By integrating a silicon metasurface on top we demonstrate two different functionalities of these compact devices: directional LED emission at a desired angle and LED emission of a vortex beam with an orbital angular momentum. The presented concept is general, being applicable to other incoherent light sources and enabling metasurfaces designed for plane waves to work with incoherent light emitters.

description: Dirac fermion fields are responsible for spontaneous symmetry breaking in gauge gravitation theory because the spin structure associated with a tetrad field is not preserved under general covariant transformations. Two solutions of this problem can be suggested. (i) There exists the universal spin structure $S\to X$ such that any spin structure $S^h\to X$ associated with a tetrad field $h$ is a subbundle of the bundle $S\to X$. In this model, gravitational fields correspond to different tetrad (or metric) fields. (ii) A background tetrad field $h$ and the associated spin structure $S^h$ are fixed, while gravitational fields are identified with additional tensor fields $q^\la{}_\m$ describing deviations $\wt h^\la_a=q^\la{}_\m h^\m_a$ of $h$. One can think of $\wt h$ as being effective tetrad fields. We show that there exist gauge transformations which keep the background tetrad field $h$ and act on the effective fields by the general covariant transformation law. We come to Logunov's Relativistic Theory of Gravity generalized to dynamic connections and fermion fields.

The first is a new proof of the famous Integral Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality. The second is a restatement of Parseval's Identity that doubles as a representation of integrating bounded and measurable functions over bounded and measurable subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$. Finally, we apply these first two results to develop some sufficient criteria for additional integral inequalities that are elementary in nature.

description: Prediction of toxicity levels of chemical compounds is an important issue in Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR) modeling. Although toxicity prediction has achieved significant progress in recent times through deep learning, prediction accuracy levels obtained by even very recent methods are not yet very high. We propose a multimodal deep learning method using multiple heterogeneous neural network types and data representations. We represent chemical compounds by strings, images, and numerical features. We train fully connected, convolutional, and recurrent neural networks and their ensembles. Each data representation or neural network type has its own strengths and weaknesses. Our motivation is to obtain a collective performance that could go beyond individual performance of each data representation or each neural network type. On a standard toxicity benchmark, our proposed method obtains significantly better accuracy levels than that by the state-of-the-art toxicity prediction methods.

description: Box orbits in triaxial potentials are generically thin, that is, they lie close in phase space to a resonant orbit satisfying a relation of the form lω_1 +mω_2+nω_3=0 between the three fundamental frequencies. Resonant orbits are confined to a membrane; they play roughly the same role, in three dimensions, that closed orbits play in two. Stable resonant orbits avoid the center of the potential; orbits that are thick enough to pass near the center are typically stochastic. Very near the center, where the gravitational potential is dominated by the black hole, resonant orbits continue to exist, including at least one family whose elongation is parallel to the long axes of the triaxial figure.

description: Objectives. Evidence from case-control studies as well as meta-analyses of these study designs suggest elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] to be associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Prospective evidence on the association is limited, uncertain, and could be attributed to regression dilution bias. We aimed to assess the prospective association of Lp(a) with risk of VTE and correct for regression dilution. Design. We related plasma Lp(a) concentrations to the incidence of VTE in 2,180 men of the Kuopio Ischemic Heart Disease cohort study. Hazard ratios (HRs) (95% confidence intervals [CI]) were assessed and repeat measurements of Lp(a) at 4 and 11 years from baseline, were used to correct for within-person variability. Results. After a median follow-up of 24.9 years, 110 validated VTE cases were recorded. The regression dilution ratio of loge Lp(a) adjusted for age was 0.85 (95% CI: 0.82–0.89). In analyses adjusted for several established risk factors and potential confounders, the HR (95% CI) for VTE per 1 SD (equivalent to 3.56-fold) higher baseline loge Lp(a) was 1.06 (0.87–1.30). In pooled analysis of five population-based cohort studies (including the current study) comprising 66,583 participants and 1314 VTE cases, the fully-adjusted corresponding HR for VTE was 1.00 (95% CI: 0.94–1.07), with no evidence of heterogeneity between studies. Conclusions. Primary analysis as well as pooled evidence from previous studies suggest circulating Lp(a) is not prospectively associated with future VTE risk, indicating that evidence of associations demonstrated in case-control designs may be driven by biases such as selection bias.

The Invisibility of Juvenal
Creators: Uden, James
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: Civilization, Classical
Classical antiquities

description: This dissertation offers a reading of Juvenal's Satires. It maintains that Juvenal consciously frustrates readers' attempts to identify his poetic voice with a single unitary character or persona. At the same time, it argues that Juvenal's poems are influenced in both form and theme by cultural trends in the early second century. The arguments staged in these poems constitute a critique of aspects of Roman intellectual culture in the reigns of Trajan and Hadrian.

description: The scattering among three particles interacting through $1/r^2$ forces, with opposite charges and widely different masses, is studied in a coplanar geometry. The present work shows that at low impact velocities the output of the collision presents typical fingerprints of chaos. The details of the process are investigated.

title: Day-of-the-week effect: a meta-analysis
Creators: name: Grebe, Leonard
name: Schiereck, Dirk
Publisher: name: Springer
Year: 2025

description: This study conducts a meta-analysis on the day-of-the-week effect to shed more light on the replication crisis of this stock market anomaly. The findings confirm that Mondays and Tuesdays provide, on average, lower daily returns. In addition, Wednesdays and Fridays indicate higher returns, with an unexpectedly strong middle-of-the-week effect on Wednesdays. The study highlights the influence of study design on these findings and notes a more substantial effect in the 1980s and 1990s. While differences in empirical methods do not impact the anomaly, index choices affect findings on day-dependent returns. The real estate sector especially stands out with a stronger day-of-the-week effect. However, geographic differences are mostly insignificant except for Oceania. Cultural differences demonstrate a weak but significant effect on abnormal daily returns. From a meta-perspective, outliers remain an essential driver for this stock market anomaly, indicating that study design is not the only factor driving the replication crisis.
Participation of Chinese pioneers in British Columbia salmon canneries, 1880s to 1920s
Creators: name: Chiang, Rudy M.T.

description: It is generally accepted that the salmon canning industry in British Columbia could not have functioned without Chinese labourers. This study examines the economic contribution of Chinese workers, measured by their labour input for each carton of canned salmon produced. The period of study, from 1880s to 1920s, covers a time when canning was labour intensive. Salmon catch had to be discarded at peak season due to labour shortage. Short seasons and unsteady employment made experienced hands hard to retain. This gave rise to the Chinese contract system. To add a human dimension to the Chinese cannery pioneers, the name and the deeds of some Chinese contractors and their workers are presented.

Non-Abelian Black Holes in Brans-Dicke Theory

description: We find a black hole solution with non-Abelian field in Brans-Dicke theory. It is an extension of non-Abelian black hole in general relativity. We discuss two non-Abelian fields: "SU(2)" Yang-Mills field with a mass (Proca field) and the SU(2)$\times$SU(2) Skyrme field. In both cases, as in general relativity, there are two branches of solutions, i.e., two black hole solutions with the same horizon radius. Masses of both black holes are always smaller than those in general relativity. A cusp structure in the mass-horizon radius ($M_{g}$-$r_{h}$) diagram, which is a typical symptom of stability change in catastrophe theory, does not appear in the Brans-Dicke frame but is found in the Einstein conformal frame. This suggests that catastrophe theory may be simply applied for a stability analysis as it is if we use the variables in the Einstein frame. We also discuss the effects of the Brans-Dicke scalar field on black hole structure.

description: Predictions for g_1(x,Q^2) at low Q^2 are obtained in the framework of the GVMD model. Contributions from both light and heavy vector mesons are evaluated. The DHGHY sum rule is employed to fix the magnitude of the light vector meson contribution to g_1, using the recent measurements in the region of baryonic resonances. The DHGHY moment function is calculated. Predictions are compared to the data.

description: Agriculture has gained increasing importance in response to the continuous growth of the world population and constant need for food. To avoid production losses, farmers commonly use pesticides. Mancozeb is a fungicide used in agriculture as this compound is effective in combating fungi that harm crops. However, this fungicide may also produce damage to non-target organisms present in soil and water. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the influence of exposure to mancozeb on survival rate, locomotor activity, behavior, and oxidative status utilizing adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a model following exposure to environmentally relevant concentrations of this pesticide. The experimental groups were negative control, positive control, and mancozeb (0.3; 1.02; 3.47; 11.8 or 40 μg/L). Zebrafish were exposed to the respective treatments for 96 hr. Exposure to mancozeb did not markedly alter survival rate and oxidative status of Danio rerio. At a concentration of 11.8 μg/L, the fungicide initiated changes in locomotor pattern of the animals. The results obtained suggest that the presence of mancozeb in the environment might produce locomotor alterations in adult zebrafish, which subsequently disrupt the animals’ innate defense mechanisms. In nature, this effect attributed to mancozeb on non-target organisms might result in adverse population impacts and ecological imbalance.
