Mental Health In The Classroom
Creators: name: Clare, Katie

Publisher: name: Innovations in Teaching & Learning Conference Proceedings
Year: 2019

description: Location: JC Room E As teachers, we have all had the experience of working with students who are not engaged, not submitting work, and maybe not even coming to class. In some instances, these behaviors are rooted in a mental health concern, and we don't always know how to respond to these challenges in the context of the classroom or in the relationship dynamic of student and teacher. This session will explore this topic by providing background information on suicide prevention and non-suicidal self-injury, so we have a better idea of what to look for in the classroom and how to respond. We will spend time role playing possible conversations to imagine what we might say in a range of circumstances. Additionally, we will explore the complex topic of stigma to better understand our own biases and to consider the ways in which someone with a mental health concern may experience things in ways that may be particularly challenging that those of us who don't struggle in this area may not fully appreciate. Finally, we will spend some time thinking about our own self-care strategies as faculty members and will consider the ways in which we model, fail to model, or could better model self-care in the classroom for our students.

Dispatching Fire Trucks under Stochastic Driving Times

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper we discuss optimal dispatching of fire trucks, based on a particular dispatching problem that arises at the Amsterdam Fire Department, where two fire trucks are send to the same incident location for a quick response. We formulate the dispatching problem as a Markov Decision Process, and numerically obtain the optimal dispatching decisions using policy iteration. We show that the fraction of late arrivals can be significantly reduced by deviating from current practice of dispatching the closest available trucks, with a relative improvement of on average about $20\%$, and over $50\%$ for certain instances. We also show that driving-time correlation has a non-negligible impact on decision making, and if ignored may lead to performance decrease of over $20\%$ in certain cases. As the optimal policy cannot be computed for problems of realistic size due to the computational complexity of the policy iteration algorithm, we propose a dispatching heuristic based on a queueing approximation for the state of the network. We show that the performance of this heuristic is close to the optimal policy, and requires significantly less computational effort.

description: Location: JC Room C It is commonly accepted that students are more likely to be engaged in course content and achieve academic success necessary to graduate if they can identify and articulate the connection between what they are learning in the classroom and their desired post-graduate goal, whether to enter the workforce or go on for advanced study. This session will demonstrate low-effort, high-impact ways for faculty to use the Career Readiness Toolkit to make skills developed within their courses clearer to students. Specifically, we will review sample rubrics and discussion prompts that can be easily incorporated into existing research paper, group project and class presentation assignments to help students translate their academic experience and course learning outcomes to career-relevant skills.

Cost effective strategies for the restoration of mine sites
Creators: name: Polster, D. F.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Natural systems have been “restoring” naturally disturbed sites for millions of years. By understanding how these systems operate information on the trends and dynamics of change can be applied to human disturbances (e.g. mines and other industrial sites). The key is to identify the features of the site that are preventing the recovery, known as filters, and then look at how natural systems have solved these issues. Common filters at mines are steep slopes and compacted surfaces. The steep slopes can be resloped while compacted surfaces can be loosened to create microsites for seeds of pioneering species to grow. By creating conditions that address the filters that occur, natural processes will provide the appropriate species to restore the site. Native pioneering species have evolved effective means of spreading over large areas (e.g. cottonwood/willow fluff) and can therefore colonize large mine sites if suitable conditions are prepared. In addition, scattering woody debris on a rough and loose surface (100 m3/ha) creates conditions where birds (at no cost) will perch bringing with them the seeds of the fruit-bearing plants they have eaten. This creates a diversity of species on the site and a vegetation cover that is resilient. Natural processes can be used to restore a wide variety of sites.
Relative Orbifold Donaldson-Thomas Theory and the Degeneration Formula

description: We generalize the notion of expanded degenerations and pairs for a simple degeneration or smooth pair to the case of smooth Deligne-Mumford stacks. We then define stable quotients on the classifying stacks of expanded degenerations and pairs and prove the properness of their moduli’s. On 3-dimensional smooth projective DM stacks this leads to a definition of relative Donaldson-Thomas invariants and the associated degeneration formula.

Applying the generalized decoration-iteration transformation we obtain exact results for the antiferromagnetic version of the model. The existence of a new quantum dimerized phase is predicted and its physical properties are studied and analyzed. Particular attention has been paid to the investigation of the phase boundaries, pair-correlation functions and specific heat. A possible application of the present work to some molecular magnets is also drawn.

description: We present the first-principle derivation of a weak-strong duality between the fishnet theory in four dimensions and a discretized string-like model living in five dimensions. At strong coupling, the dual description becomes classical and we demonstrate explicitly the classical integrability of the model. We test our results by reproducing the strong coupling limit of the $4$-point correlator computed before non-perturbatively from the conformal partial wave expansion. Due to the extreme simplicity of our model, it could provide an ideal playground for holography with no super-symmetry. Furthermore, since the fishnet model and ${\cal N}=4$ SYM theory are continuously linked our consideration could shed light on the derivation of AdS/CFT for the latter.

description: This study assessed the long-term toxicity of chlorpyrifos on survival and reproduction of Banded Gourami by using mortality, gonado-somatic index (GSI) and histopathological observations as endpoints. Adult fish were exposed to five different concentrations of chlorpyrifos (0, 15, 50, 150, 500 µg/L) in 15 PVC tanks for 15, 30, 45, 60 and 75 days. Results showed that all male and female fish died after 15 days of 500 µg/L chlorpyrifos exposure. No consistent significant effect was observed for both male and female GSI. Furthermore, results showed dose- and time-dependent histopathological alterations for both ovary and testes. The 60-d No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) for most histopathological alterations of Banded Gourami ovary and testes was 50 μg/L, while 60-d NOEC for mortality of both male and female fish was < 15 μg/L. The results show that the long-term exposure to chlorpyrifos not only affect the reproductive tissues of Banded Gourami at exposure concentrations but also cause their mortality. Future studies should evaluate effects at lower concentrations.

description: To continue running our civilization on fossil fuels while avoiding global warming and ocean acidification, anthropogenic carbon dioxide must be diverted from atmospheric release. For geologic carbon sequestration, the injection of CO 2  into the lithosphere, to operate at the necessary large scale requires an understanding of the multiphase flow properties of high-pressure CO 2  displacing brine in porous media. A laboratory-scale core flooding reactor has been built to measure flow properties at in situ pressures, salinities, and temperatures. The reported set of experiments was designed to measure CO 2  relative permeability for CO 2  displacing brine at residual brine saturation. Endpoint drainage CO 2  relative permeability was found to be tightly clustered around 0.35-0.4. These values indicate that CO 2  is not strongly nonwetting, and are characteristic of weakly water-wetting or intermediate wetting flow. Based on these results, CO 2  injectivity will be reduced, pressure-limited reservoirs will have reduced capacity, and inclined area-limited reservoirs will have increased capacity. Future reservoir-scale modeling efforts should incorporate sensitivity to relative permeability. Assuming the majority of reservoirs are pressure limited and if the experimental results reported here are found to apply to other lithologies as well, geologic carbon sequestration at scale will require approximately twice the number of storage sites, wells, reservoirs, and the related infrastructure, personnel, and cost.

description: BC’s Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources is developing a Reclamation Guide for Mines in British Columbia. The Guide is intended to support mine operators, regulators, Indigenous communities, and other stakeholders to improve the processes and outcomes of mine reclamation. Reclamation design is an ongoing and iterative process that begins before mine development and continues after closure. At any stage of mine life, operators generate the most detailed reclamation plan possible given available information, and document key performance assumptions and uncertainties. With each iteration, informed by the objectives and constraints of the mine plan, operators evaluate all opportunities to improve closure outcomes and achieve reclamation targets/requirements by adjusting design elements and incorporating findings from research and monitoring programs. Over the life of the mine, this design-test-do-report cycle represented by the reclamation plan iterations supports a progression of increasing information, reduced performance uncertainty and increasing confidence in the ability of designs to be successfully implemented and meet closure expectations. The Reclamation Guide focuses on five key principles for reclamation design: defining end land use targets, recognizing contaminant transport mechanisms, engaging with Indigenous communities, understanding ecohydrological interactions, and designing with the end in mind.

Using the instanton formalism we find the scaling exponents $ζ_n$ of the structure functions $S_n$ for $n\gg1$ under the additional condition $dζ_2\gg1$ (where $d$ is the dimensionality of space). At $nn_c$ they are $n$-independent: $ζ_n=ζ_2 n_c/4$. We also estimate $n$-dependent factors in $S_n$, particularly their behavior at $n$ close to $n_c$.

description: State machine replication (SMR) leverages distributed consensus protocols such as PAXOS to keep multiple replicas of a program consistent in face of replica failures or network partitions. This fault tolerance is enticing on implementing a principled SMR system that replicates general programs, especially server programs that demand high availability. Unfortunately, SMR assumes deterministic execution, but most server programs are multithreaded and thus non-deterministic. Moreover, existing SMR systems provide narrow state machine interfaces to suit specific programs, and it can be quite strenuous and error-prone to orchestrate a general program into these interfaces This paper presents CRANE, an SMR system that trans- parently replicates general server programs. CRANE achieves distributed consensus on the socket API, a common interface to almost all server programs. It leverages deterministic multithreading (specifically, our prior system PARROT) to make multithreaded replicas deterministic. It uses a new technique we call time bubbling to efficiently tackle a difficult challenge of non-deterministic network input timing. Evaluation on five widely used server programs (e.g., Apache, ClamAV, and MySQL) shows that CRANE is easy to use, has moderate overhead, and is robust.

Religiosity and Depression: A Ten-Year Follow-up of Offspring at High and Low Risk for Depression
Creators: Sage, Mia
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Psychology
subject: FOS: Psychology

description: One of the most thoroughly researched areas of mental illness in the context of its association with religiosity is depression. The thrust of studies published over the last century found religious/spiritual factors to be generally associated with lower rates of depression. The majority of studies on religion and depression have been cross-sectional. The primary aims of this study are to investigate the relationship between religiosity and depression longitudinally, utilizing a 10-year follow-up, and to explore the potential differential impact of religiosity on the prevalence of depression in those at high versus low risk for depression. Results suggest that 1) prospectively, a personal importance of religion is protective against MDD over a 10-year period; 2) prospectively, there exists a differential effect of religious belief on MDD in individuals at high versus low risk for depression; 3) prospectively, the protective effect of religious/spiritual importance against MDD is exclusive to individuals at high risk for depression based on parental MDD status; 4) Time 10 Catholicism is protective against MDD cross-sectionally 5) The protective effect of Catholicism may be more prevalent in individuals at low risk for depression than in individuals at high risk for depression; 5) cross-sectionally, there exists a differential impact of religious attendance on the prevalence of MDD in those at high risk versus those at low risk for depression at Time 10: for those at high risk for depression, religious attendance is associated with increased rates of MDD; 6) cross-sectionally, after controlling for social support there exists a differential impact of religious attendance on MDD in those at high versus low risk for depression: in individuals at high risk for depression, after controlling for social functioning, religious importance becomes a risk factor for MDD.

description: The recently discovered superconductivity in MgB2 has created the world sensation. In spite of the relatively high superconducting transition temperature Tc=39K, the superconductivity is understood in terms of rare two gap superconductor with energy gaps attached to the sigma- and pi-band. However, this simple model cannot describe the temperature dependent anisotropy in H_c2 or the temperature dependence of the anisotropic magnetic penetration depth. Here we propose a model with two anisotropic energy gaps with different shapes. Indeed the present model describes a number of pecularities of MgB2 which have been revealed only recently through single crystal MgB2.

description: We study the dynamical and statistical behavior of the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model in order to investigate the relation between microscopic chaos and phase transitions. HMF is a simple toy model of $N$ fully-coupled rotators which shows a second order phase transition. The canonical thermodynamical solution is briefly recalled and its predictions are tested numerically at finite $N$. The Vlasov stationary solution is shown to give the same consistency equation of the canonical solution and its predictions for rotator angle and momenta distribution functions agree very well with numerical simulations. A link is established between the behavior of the maximal Lyapunov exponent and that of thermodynamical fluctuations, expressed by kinetic energy fluctuations or specific heat. The extensivity of chaos in the $N \to \infty$ limit is tested through the scaling properties of Lyapunov spectra and of the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy. Chaotic dynamics provides the mixing property in phase space necessary for obtaining equilibration; however, the relaxation time to equilibrium grows with $N$, at least near the critical point. Our results constitute an interesting bridge between Hamiltonian chaos in many degrees of freedom systems and equilibrium thermodynamics.

Religion of the Father: Islam, Gender, and Politics of Ethnicity in Late Socialism

description: This dissertation examines the ethnicization of Islam among a specific ethnic group in China, namely the Hui. It is based upon sixteen months of multi-sited fieldwork conducted in China's Henan Province and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region from 2010 to 2012. I argue that the particular ethno-imaginary of the Hui and their positioning vis-à-vis the Han majority - that they are both non-Han and more Han than the Han - are predicated upon a particular sexual economy. Islam is situated in an imagined dissymmetrical exchange of woman as that whose presumed truth can procure for the Hui the feminine "Han blood." The "nativization" of Islam among the Hui, i.e. its supposedly never complete "sinicization," occurs through the figure of the Han woman.
      In Part I of this dissertation, I trace the itinerary of this figure in both historiographical narratives of the Hui in the early twentieth century and the organizational variations of their contemporary life as Muslims in a swiftly-changing China. In Part II, I move to a more general level, and study two major institutions in the Chinese state's governance of ethnic difference, namely ethnic regional autonomy and ethnic cadre. I situate them within the socialist tradition and unpack their specificity in contrast to other political configurations in the governance of ethnic difference (e.g. liberal multiculturalism). I suggest that this socialist governance of difference is defined by a biopolitical logic, and argue that the link to sexuality that is intrinsic to the concept of biopolitics renders the Hui a particularly privileged site for exploring the complex relationship between the socialist politics of ethnicity and the socialist governance of sexuality.
Religions of Doubt: Religion, Critique, and Modernity in Jalal Al-e Ahmad and Walter Benjamin

description: Religions of Doubt: Religion, Critique, and Modernity in Jalal Al-e Ahmad and Walter Benjamin is a work of comparative philosophy addressing selected works of the Iranian novelist and political thinker Jalal Al-e Ahmad and the German-Jewish critic and philosopher Walter Benjamin. I demonstrate that the perceived failure of utopian modern projects, particularly Marxism, led each of these twentieth century thinkers to re-engage with religious questions and concerns in a simultaneous critique of the corrosive, reductive, and catastrophic nature of the modern condition and the idea of traditional religion - static, irrational, regressive - that modernist thought had conjured. Furthermore, both Al-e Ahmad and Benjamin were compelled to move beyond the worlds of traditional philosophical inquiry or political action, into questions and practices of art, literature, science, technology, and ritual. I argue that reading these thinkers together allows a glimpse at ideas and modes in philosophical thought that were largely derailed by varying discourses of secularism, poststructuralism, naturalism, and fundamentalism. This reading suggests new synthetic possibilities for philosophy in the twenty-first century.

description: Nahezu alle Halbleiterbauelemente werden heute aus einkristallinem Silizium(Si) hoher Perfektion hergestellt. Bei der fundamentalen Bedeutung moderner Elektronik in allen Bereichen des Lebens ist Silizium damit zum wichtigsten Werkstoff unserer Zeit geworden. Diese Tatsache führte gelegentlich dazu, dass ernst zu nehmende Zeitgenossen vom “Silizium- Zeitalter“ sprechen, so wie man andere Perioden der Entwicklungsgeschichte auch mit bestimmten Werkstoffen verbindet und kennzeichnet.
Siliziumeinkristalle werden durch Umwandlung von hochreinem polykristallinen Ausgangsmaterial als nahezu zylinderförmige Stäbe hergestellt. Diese hochreinen und hochperfekten stabförmigen Kristalle werden nach Abtrennung der Anfangs- und Endkonen rundgeschliffen, in Scheiben zersägt, die ihrerseits je nach Anforderung der Halbleiterhersteller unterschiedlichen Oberflächenbehandlungen unterzogen werden. Auf diesen so entstandenen Wafern werden dann mittels hochkomplexer Prozesse diskrete Bauelemente und integrierte Schaltungen produziert.
Etwa 95% der Si-Einkristalle werden gegenwärtig nach dem Czochralski(CZ)-Verfahren aus dem Tiegel gezogen, während der verbleibende Anteil nach dem Floating-Zone(FZ)-Verfahren tiegelfrei hergestellt wird. CZ-Si wird vorwiegend für die Produktion mikroelektronischer Schaltkreise verwendet, FZ-Si hingegen für leistungselektronische Bauelemente.
Der in der Industrie anhaltende Trend zur Vergrößerung der Waferfläche und damit der Einkristalldurchmesser von heute 300mm für CZ- und 200mm für FZ-Material ist mit einer ganzen Reihe von großen Herausforderungen verbunden. Eine rein empirische, vorwiegend auf Experimente gestützte Weiterentwicklung der Einkristall-Ziehverfahren ist wegen der sehr komplexen gegenseitigen Abhängigkeit der Züchtungsparameter und wegen der hohen Anforderungen an die strukturelle Perfektion sehr schwierig, zeitraubend und damit auch besonders teuer. Hier bietet die mathematisch-physikalische Modellierung ein hervorragend geeignetes Mittel über die numerische Nachbildung der Züchtungsprozesse die Verfahrensentwicklung signifikant zu unterstützen. Es lassen sich die Einflüsse zusätzlicher und neuartiger Maßnahmen vorherzubestimmen, geeignete Modellketten entwickeln und damit Hinweise auf eine optimierte Züchtung von Einkristallen mit großen Durchmessern liefern.

description: Members of the casein kinase 1 (CK1) family are key regulators in numerous cellular signal transduction pathways and in order to prevent the development of certain diseases, CK1 kinase activity needs to be tightly regulated. Modulation of kinase activity by site-specific phosphorylation within the C-terminal regulatory domain of CK1δ has already been shown for several cellular kinases. By using biochemical methods, we now identified residues T161, T174, T176, and S181 within the kinase domain of CK1δ as target sites for checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1). At least residues T176 and S181 show full conservation among CK1δ orthologues from different eukaryotic species. Enzyme kinetic analysis furthermore led to the hypothesis that site-specific phosphorylation within the kinase domain finally contributes to fine-tuning of CK1δ kinase activity. These data provide a basis for the extension of our knowledge about the role of site-specific phosphorylation for regulation of CK1δ and associated signal transduction pathways. The kinase domain of CK1δ is phosphorylated by Chk1.

description: Cooling quantum systems is arguably one of the most important thermodynamic tasks connected to modern quantum technologies and an interesting question from a foundational perspective. It is thus of no surprise that many different theoretical cooling schemes have been proposed, differing in the assumed control paradigm and complexity, and operating either in a single cycle or in steady state limits. Working out bounds on quantum cooling has since been a highly context dependent task with multiple answers, with no general result that holds independent of assumptions. In this letter we derive a universal bound for cooling quantum systems in the limit of infinite cycles (or steady state regimes) that is valid for any control paradigm and machine size. The bound only depends on a single parameter of the refrigerator and is theoretically attainable in all control paradigms. For qubit targets we prove that this bound is achievable in a single cycle and by autonomous machines.

description: Rhodopsine und Lichtsammelkomplexe sind durch Licht aktivierte Proteine, die an natürlichen Prozessen wie dem Sehen oder der Photosynthese beteiligt sind. Um deren detaillierten Mechanismus zu verstehen, sind aufgrund ihrer Größe und der komplexen Umgebung, in die das Chromophor eingebettet ist, Multiskalen-Methoden erforderlich. Neue und effiziente Methoden sind daher sehr wünschenswert. In dieser Arbeit wurde somit die kürzlich erfolgte zeitabhängige Erweiterung der effizienten LC-DFTB Methode für ihre Anwendung auf Rhodopsine und Lichtsammelkomplexe über einen systematischen Benchmark validiert. Zusätzlich wurden etablierte Methoden zur Untersuchung des $\textit{pre-gating}$ Prozesses des lichtgesteuerten Ionenkanals $\textit{Channelrhodopsin-2}$ Wildtyp (ChR2-WT) verwendet. Die Benchmark Studie wurde sowohl an den isolierten Chromophoren Retinal und Bakteriochlorophyll a (BChl a), als auch am biologischen System als Ganzes durchgeführt. Dabei wurden Einflussfaktoren, die für ihre charakteristischen Absorptionsspektren verantwortlich sind, sowie Methoden berücksichtigt, die von \textit{ab-initio} bis zum semiempirischen Ansatz reichen. LC-DFTB konnte qualitativ den gleichen Trend reproduzieren wie die LC-DFT Funktionale hinsichtlich der Beschreibung der Einflussfaktoren auf die Absorptionsspektren von Retinal und BChl a. Während LC-DFTB jedoch Schwächen in der Anwendung an Rhodopsinen zeigte, waren die Ergebnisse für Lichtsammelkomplexe in guter Übereinstimmung mit denen von $\textit{ab-initio}$ Methoden. LC-DFTB ist damit vielversprechend, mit dem Potenzial für weitere Untersuchungen. Der $\textit{pre-gating}$ Prozess von ChR2-WT wurde mit Methoden untersucht, die sowohl auf einem klassischen als auch auf einem QM/MM Ansatz basieren. Somit ergaben sich aus QM/MM und klassischen MD Simulationen mehrere Teilzustände des ersten Zwischenzustands des Photozyklus. Nachfolgend, wurden mit diesen Strukturen UV/Vis- und Vibrationsspektren berechnet, die in guter Übereinstimmung mit dem Experiment waren. Somit konnte ein möglicher $\textit{pre-gating}$ Prozess abgeleitet werden. Dies ermöglicht weitere Untersuchungen der folgenden Zwischenzustände des Photozyklus, um den detaillierten Mechanismus und die Funktion von ChR2-WT zu verstehen.

description: The problems of our earthly future have already been critically examined in the years 1972 and 1974 in reports to the “Club of Rome” by D. MEADOWS in “The Limits of Growth” and by Eduard PESTEL and M. MESAROVIC in “Mankind at the Turning Point”, and prognoses were given for the coming century. Nothing concerning those alarming results has changed substantially from then up to the present day. The frightening increase in the population of our earth, our limited energy and food sources, the climatic changes with all their resultant symptoms, the limited availability of water and increasing environmental pollution still remain the problems and dangers with which science and international politics must come to terms. This will be the case to an even greater extent in the future.
