description: We consider the prospect of lightest neutralino (${\tilde χ}_1^0$) as a dark matter candidate in the light of recent interesting observations from the XENON100 and CDMS-II experiments in minimal supergravity framework with large $\tanβ$ and non-vanishing $A_0$. Within the WMAP satisfied zone, there is a large direct detection reach of lighter ${\tilde χ}_1^0$ in the lighter Higgs boson mediated resonance annihilation domain of the above scenario. It is seen that the heavier Higgs boson plays a dominating role in the ${\tilde χ}_1^0-p$ cross-section in the associated zone of parameter space in spite of having a larger mass. Possible LHC signatures are discussed.

Trending health narratives : the Zika virus outbreak 2015-16 in Brazil
Creators: name: Moura Lopes, Luiz Henrique
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: This study explores the intersections of social media and health communication, focusing on the trending narratives on Twitter during the 2015-16 Zika virus outbreak, in Brazil. It examines how social media data provides insights into current media practices, as a way of improving health communication strategies and literacy during epidemics. This project uses a qualitative study framework to illustrate the phenomenon under examination, drawing a theoretical thematic analysis as a method (Braun & Clarke, 2006). Findings from this thesis reveal how increases in Zika-related news commentaries seemed to have shifted the topics and the tone of Zika-related conversations on Twitter. This project further explores the interconnectedness between the volume of Zika-related mentions on Twitter and external media events, which echoes relevant scholarship (Fu et al., 2016; Dredze, Broniatowski & Hilyard, 2016). Finally, it also discusses the opportunities and limitations of social media for health communication, addressing traditional inequalities and power dynamics.

description: We use a suite of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations to quantify the accretion rates of baryons into dark matter halos and the resulting baryon mass fractions, as a function of halo mass, redshift, and baryon type (including cold and hot gas). We find that the net baryonic accretion rates through the virial radius are sensitive to galactic outflows and explore a range of outflow parameters to illustrate the effects. We show that the cold gas accretion rate is in general not a simple universal factor of the dark matter accretion rate, and that galactic winds can cause star formation rates to deviate significantly from the external gas accretion rates, both via gas ejection and re-accretion. Furthermore, galactic winds can inject enough energy and momentum in the surrounding medium to slow down accretion altogether, especially in low-mass halos and at low redshift. By resolving the accretion rates versus radius from the halo centers, we show how cold streams penetrate the hot atmospheres of massive halos at z>2, but gradually disappear at lower redshift. The total baryon mass fraction is also strongly suppressed by outflows in low-mass halos, but is nearly universal in the absence of feedback in halos above the UV background suppression scale. The transition halo mass, at which the gas mass in halos is equal for the cold and hot components, is roughly constant at ~10^11.5 Msun and does not depend sensitively on the wind prescription. We provide simple fitting formulae for the cold gas accretion rate into halos in the no-wind case. Finally, we show that cold accretion is broadly consistent with driving the bulk of the highly star-forming galaxies observed at z~2, but that the more intense star formers likely sample the high end of the accretion rate distribution, and may be additionally fueled by a combination of gas recycling, gas re-accretion, hot mode cooling, and mergers.

The correlation functions responsible for these coupling constants are evaluated considering contributions of both $D(B)$ and $K^*(892)$ mesons as off-shell states, but in the absence of radiative corrections. The results, $g_{D^{\ast}_{s}D K^{\ast}(892)}=(4.31\pm1.42) GeV^{-1}$ and $g_{B^{\ast}_{s}B K^{\ast}(892)}=(3.24\pm1.08) GeV^{-1}$ are obtained for the considered strong coupling constants.

description: By using the 1H(6Li,6Be)n charge-exchange reaction, continuum states in 6Be were populated up to E_t=16 MeV, E_t being the 6Be energy above its three-body decay threshold. In kinematically complete measurements performed by detecting alpha+p+p coincidences, an E_t spectrum of high statistics was obtained, containing approximately ~5x10^6 events. The spectrum provides detailed correlation information about the well-known 0^+ ground state of 6Be at E_t=1.37 MeV and its 2^+ state at E_t=3.05 MeV. Moreover, a broad structure extending from 4 to 16 MeV was observed. It contains negative parity states populated by Delta L=1 angular momentum transfer without other significant contributions. This structure can be interpreted as a novel phenomenon, i.e. the isovector soft dipole mode associated with the 6Li ground state. The population of this mode in the charge-exchange reaction is a dominant phenomenon for this reaction, being responsible for about 60% of the cross section obtained in the measured energy range.

Musical borrowing and formal organization in Renaissance polyphonic mass cycles
Creators: name: Reimer, Sarah
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Composers in the Renaissance era frequently engaged in the technique of musical borrowing by incorporating a preexisting melody, which functioned as a cantus firmus, into a newly composed polyphonic setting. This study analyzes the structural relationship between a cantus firmus and surrounding polyphonic voices, identifying the distinctive musical features of the cantus firmus that contribute to the overall form of the mass cycle. Analyses of four mass cycles by the fifteenth-century composer Josquin des Prez, spanning his entire oeuvre, examine different ways that a borrowed melody can contribute to structure and formal organization in a polyphonic texture. Before the analysis portion of this study I develop criteria for attributing formal function to segments of monophonic and polyphonic Renaissance compositions. I find that, although the borrowed melodies in Josquin’s mass cycles are diverse, the preexisting formal functions of the cantus firmus usually govern the formal functions of the concurrent polyphonic voices. Consistently, the first statement of the borrowed melody, arguably the most important indicator of initiation formal function, is always retained in the new setting. Similarly, the final cadence of the borrowed melody always aligns with the ending of either a mass section or entire mass movement. There are also moments, however, where the converse is true, such that the polyphony redirects and transforms the expected formal functions of the cantus firmus.
Length and temperature dependent crossover of charge transport across molecular junctions

description: We study the electronic transport in a molecular junction in which each site is coupled to a local phonon bath using the non-equilibrium Green's function method. We observe the length period of the oscillatory conductance in odd-numbered chains depends strongly on the applied bias, and the oscillatory behavior is smeared out for the bias voltage near the phonon energy. In addition, a crossover from tunneling to thermally activated hopping transport as the length of the molecule increases is found for the phonon-free case. In the presence of electron-phonon interaction, hopping transport is dominant and a transition from the thermally suppressed to assisted conduction is observed.

description: The quantum-mechanical three-body problem is one of the fundamental challenges of few-body physics. When the two-body interactions become resonant, an infinite series of universal three-body bound states is predicted to occur, whose properties are determined by the strength of the two-body interactions. We report on the association and direct observation of a trimer state consisting of three distinguishable fermions using radio-frequency (RF) spectroscopy. The measurements of its binding energy are consistent with theoretical predictions which include non-universal corrections.

description: We investigate the method for constructing the invariant mass using the M_T2-assisted on-shell (MAOS) approximation to the invisible particle momenta in the cascade decays of a new particle resonance produced at hadron colliders. We note that the MAOS reconstruction can be defined in several different ways, while keeping the efficiency of approximation at a similar level, and one of them provides a unique solution for each event. It is shown that the invariant mass distribution constructed with the MAOS momenta exhibits a peak at the heavy resonance mass, regardless of the chosen MAOS scheme and the detailed mass spectrum of the particles in the cascade. We stress that the MAOS invariant mass can be used as a clean signal of new particle resonance produced at the LHC, as well as a model-independent method to measure the masses of new particles involved in the event.

As one of the main results, we obtain a hypergeometric representation of the density for four steps, which complements the classical elliptic representation in the case of three steps. It appears unrealistic to expect similar results for more than five steps. New results are also presented concerning the moments of uniform random walks and, in particular, their derivatives. Relations with Mahler measures are discussed.

The study of field programmable gate array based servos in atomic, molecular and optical physics experiments
Creators: name: Yu, Shi Jing
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: The use of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is becoming increasingly popular in new designs for instrumentation tools. Among them, the FPGA-based servo is emerging as a replacement for the traditional analog servo as a more versatile, automated and remotely controllable alternative. Despite the demonstration of FPGA servos for the control of lasers in the literature, the practical constraints of an FPGA servo have not yet been fully investigated. This work presents an open-source FPGA servo design that is capable of reaching a total signal latency of 200 ns including both conversion delay and computation delay. This work also investigates various limitations inherent in a digital implementation of a servo arising from the computation precision of an Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter and the effect that signal quantization has on the transfer function that a digital servo can implement. These technical details are not widely discussed, but are important both for the design and the operation of the FPGA servo. Applying the FPGA servo in an intensity stabilization application allows direct tests of these limitations. In particular, this work compares the performance of the FPGA servo and a high-performance commercial analog servo with a focus on key specifications including the closed-loop bandwidth, noise floor and the resolution of the transfer functions. For closed-loop control scenario with a bandwidth below 1 MHz, we achieve better performance with the FPGA servo than the analog servo through the use of more complex transfer functions including a Proportional and Integral Cubed (PI3) and a Proportional Integral and Integral (PII) with lag-lead.
A Novel Modulation Scheme for a Modular Multiphase Multilevel Converter in a Power Hardware-in-the-Loop Emulation System

description: This paper presents a novel modulation strategy for a Modular Multiphase Multilevel Converter especially for the usage in Power Hardware-in-the-Loop Emulation Systems. The proposed modulation scheme generates the required voltage time area by means of an integrator in a quasi continuous operation mode. Therefore, the fixed modulation period is disestablished to achieve a minimum response time of the emulation converter. The switching states of the parallel half-bridges are selected by a sorting algorithm, dependent on the instantaneous branch currents, to avoid saturation in the flux compensated chokes of the converter. The performance of the modulation scheme is verified at a three phase, seven level multilevel converter, with a PWM-frequency up to 120 kHz and an output power of more than 100 kW.

description: We consider a 5D warped scenario with a KK-parity symmetry, where the non-trivial warping arises from the dynamics that stabilizes the size of the extra dimension. Generically, the lightest Kaluza-Klein (KK) particle is the first excitation of the radion field, while the next-to-lightest Kaluza-Klein particle is either the first excitation of the (RH) top quark or the first KK-parity odd Higgs. All these masses are expected to be of order the electroweak scale. We present simple analytical expressions for the masses and wavefunctions of the lowest lying KK modes, and derive the Feynman rules necessary for phenomenological applications. The framework allows to interpolate between a strongly warped scenario a la Randall-Sundrum (RS), and a weakly warped scenario that shares properties of both RS and Universal Extra Dimensions models.

description: This paper is devoted to the two-loop QED radiative corrections to the decay pi0 -> e+ e-. We compute the virtual corrections without using any approximation and we take into account all the relevant graphs with the inclusion of those omitted in the previous approximative calculations. The bremsstrahlung is then treated within the soft photon approximation. We concentrate on the technical aspects of the calculation and discuss in detail the UV renormalization and the treatment of IR divergences within the dimensional regularization. As a result we obtain the O(alpha^3 p^2) contribution in closed analytic form. We compare the exact two-loop results with existing approximative calculations of QED corrections and find significant disagreement in the kinematical region relevant for the KTeV experiment.

description: Winter pea (Pisum sativum ssp. arvense L.) is widely grown in Bulgaria. Bulgarian scientists and farmers have accumulated cultivars and knowledge for both forms of field peas, winter (Pisum sativum ssp. Arvense) and spring pea (Pisum sativum ssp. sativum). There is renewed interest in pea as farmers and local producers aim to apply circular economy in agriculture. Local production of plant protein has a positive economic effect in animal husbandry. Bulgaria is characterised by favorable climatic conditions and suitable soils for over-wintering field pea. Autumn sown winter pea is particularly flexible in how the canopy and crop structure develops. The high plasticity of winter pea as a crop and its ability to enrich the soil with nitrogen, as well as the available local pool of cultivars, are prerequisites for selecting it as a source of sufficient plant protein in local circular economy.

Исходя из этого, актуальность работы заключается в изучении рисков для дальнейшего здоровья женщин с раком шейки матки. Для этого будут использованы и проанализированы данные статистики по Новгородской области.
Secreted microRNAs and their role in cancer promotion and detection
Creators: name: Dickman, Christopher TD
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common form of head and neck cancer. Although there have been improvements in detection and treatment with the development of targeted therapies, OSCC has a low five-year survival rate which has shown little improvement in recent history. OSCCs are known to secrete extracellular vesicles (EVs) into the extracellular space including into the blood stream. These EVs contain a wide variety of different molecules capable of effecting cancer processes including mRNAs, miRNAs, and proteins. By performing an in depth analysis we will gain a better understanding on how OSCC secreted miRNAs are capable of acting as messages between cancerous and stromal cells. Additionally, I have presented data on how these miRNAs can be exploited for their ability to act as biomarkers. In this thesis I first described which miRNAs are altered in patients with oral cancer or carcinoma in situ and determined that this altered expression is capable of predicting cancer status. After validating the suitability of cell lines as an OSCC model, I examined if altered serum miRNAs overlap with miRNAs which are selectively secreted from oral cancer cell lines. Follow-up functional analysis was performed for miR-142-3p and it was determined that this miRNA was being secreted in order to remove it’s tumor suppressive effect within the cancer cell and additionally to transfer a tumor promoting signal to endothelial cells of the tumor stroma. To confirm that this was not an isolated phenomenon I examined the function of miR-142-3p when secreted from lung cancer cells and noticed a similar effect in endothelial cells and an additional effect on fibroblasts. Effected fibroblasts underwent changes associated with wound healing and tumor promotion. These data taken together provide a comprehensive analysis of the alterations of secreted miRNAs in OSCC and provide insight in the ability of some miRNAs to serve a dual role both within the tumor cells and cells of the tumor stroma. It is possible these results could lead to the creation of a diagnostic test with possible future applications to the diagnosis of oral cancer.

description: Dark matter substructure around nearby galaxies provides an interesting opportunity for confusion-free indirect detection of dark matter. We calculate the boost over a smooth background distribution of dark matter for gamma-ray emission from dark matter self-annihilations in tidal structure in M31, assuming a cross-section inversely proportional to the relative velocities of the dark matter particles as proposed by the Sommerfeld effect. The low velocity of the material in the structure results in a significant increase in gamma-ray emission compared to both the background halo and the predicted emission for a velocity-independent cross section. We also calculate the expected signal for Fermi, for reasonable choices of the dark matter parameters. We find that for a cross section proportional to the inverse-square of the relative velocity, the enhancement to the annihilation rate is sufficient to test the velocity dependence of the cross section by spatial correlation with the stellar component of the stream, given sufficient detector sensitivity.

description: Alignment of the main energy fluxes along a straight line in a target plane has been observed in families of cosmic ray particles detected in the Pamir mountains. The fraction of events with alignment is statistically significant for families with superhigh energies and large numbers of hadrons. This can be interpreted as evidence for coplanar hard-scattering of secondary hadrons produced in the early stages of the atmospheric cascade development. This phenomenon can be described within the recently proposed "crystal world," with latticized and anisotropic spatial dimensions. Planar events are expected to dominate particle collisions at a hard-scattering energy exceeding the scale Λ_3 at which space transitions from 3D \rightleftharpoons 2D. We study specific collider signatures that will test this hypothesis. We show that the energy-spectrum of Drell-Yan scattering and the parton momenta sum rule are significantly modified in this framework. At the LHC, two jet and three jet events are necessarily planar, but four jet events can test the hypothesis. Accordingly, we study in a model-independent way the 5σdiscovery reach of the ATLAS and CMS experiments for identifying four jets coplanarities. For the extreme scenario in which all pp \to 4 jet scattering processes become coplanar above Λ_3, we show that with an integrated luminosity of 10(100) fb^{-1} the LHC experiments have the potential to discover correlations between jets if Λ_3 \alt 1.25(1.6) TeV.

description: We propose the SUSY SU(7) unification of the SU(3)_C* SU(4)_W* U(1)_{B-L} model. Such unification scenario has rich symmetry breaking chains in a five-dimensional orbifold. We study in detail the SUSY SU(7) symmetry breaking into SU(3)_C* SU(4)_W* U(1)_{B-L} by boundary conditions in a Randall-Sundrum background and its AdS/CFT interpretation. We find that successful gauge coupling unification can be achieved in our scenario. Gauge unification favors low left-right and unification scales with tree-level \sin^2θ_W=0.15. We use the AdS/CFT dual of the conformal supersymmetry breaking scenario to break the remaining N=1 supersymmetry. We employ AdS/CFT to reproduce the NSVZ formula and obtain the structure of the Seiberg duality in the strong coupling region for 3/2N_c

description: We present a non-perturbative renormalization-group approach to the Bose-Hubbard model. By taking as initial condition of the RG flow the (local) limit of decoupled sites, we take into account both local and long-distance fluctuations in a nontrivial way. This approach yields a phase diagram in very good quantitative agreement with the quantum Monte Carlo results and reproduces the two universality classes of the superfluid--Mott-insulator transition with a good estimate of the critical exponents. Furthermore, it reveals the crucial role of the "Ginzburg length" as a crossover length between a weakly- and a strongly-correlated superfluid phase.

Hormonal contraceptive use in Canada : levels, trends, and determinants among reproductive-aged women in British Columbia
Creators: name: Maginley, Katharine Suzanne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: BACKGROUND: Despite widespread use of contraception worldwide, Canadian research on hormonal contraceptive trends is limited. This thesis aims to address this knowledge gap through an investigation of the levels, trends, and determinants of: (1) hormonal contraceptive use in British Columbia (BC) (Study 1), and (2) the use of cyproterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol (CPA-EE), an acne drug that is also known to be prescribed as an oral contraceptive (OC) despite safety concerns (Study 2). METHODS: This thesis consists of two retrospective analyses of de-identified administrative datasets containing health care, pharmaceutical, and sociodemographic information for residents of BC between 2006–2013, inclusive. Study 1 examined incident and prevalent hormonal contraceptive use in a cohort of reproductive-aged women (15–49 years). Study 2 measured incident off-label use of CPA-EE in women aged 15–34. In both studies, logistic regression was used to model relationships between contraceptive use and sociodemographic factors. RESULTS: Study 1 revealed (1) stable prevalence, but declining incidence of overall hormonal contraceptive use, (2) declining rates of OC use, (3) increased rates of hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) use, and (4) decreased odds of hormonal contraceptive use among Chinese and South Asian women. Despite a decline in use, OCs remained the most popular method, accounting for more than 80% of all hormonal contraceptive use. In Study 2, incident use of CPA-EE declined throughout the study period. South Asian women and women with older physicians (65+) were more likely to receive a potentially inappropriate CPA-EE prescription. CONCLUSION: This thesis contributes to a sparse body of literature on hormonal contraceptive use in Canada. While rates of OC use are declining, hormonal IUD use is increasingly widespread, particularly among younger women. Chinese and South Asian women are less likely to be prescribed OCs and may therefore be at greater risk for unintended pregnancy, although this warrants further investigation, as does the influence of provider characteristics on off-label prescribing patterns.

description: We report the first high pressure measurement of the Fe K-edge in hematite (Fe$_2$O$_3$) by X-ray absorption spectroscopy in partial fluorescence yield geometry. The pressure-induced evolution of the electronic structure as Fe$_2$O$_3$ transforms from a high-spin insulator to a low-spin metal is reflected in the x-ray absorption pre-edge. The crystal field splitting energy was found to increase monotonically with pressure up to 48 GPa, above which a series of phase transitions occur. Atomic multiplet, cluster diagonalization, and density-functional calculations were performed to simulate the pre-edge absorption spectra, showing good qualitative agreement with the measurements. The mechanism for the pressure-induced phase transitions of Fe$_2$O$_3$ is discussed and it is shown that ligand hybridization significantly reduces the critical high-spin/low-spin pressure.

description: We propose general semiclassical method for computing the probability of soliton-antisoliton pair production in particle collisions. The method is illustrated by explicit numerical calculations in (1+1)-dimensional scalar field model. We find that the probability of the process is suppressed by an exponentially small factor which is almost constant at high energies.

"It's not that I can't walk" : older adults' experiences of using canes and walkers
Creators: name: Korotchenko, Alexandra
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Despite the high prevalence of walking difficulties and widespread use of walking aids in later life, to date, there has been minimal scholarly interest in the study of canes and walkers. Building on the existing literatures in rehabilitation, social gerontology, and geographies of disability, the present study aimed to gain a fuller understanding of older men’s and women’s perceptions and embodied experiences of having walking difficulties and using a cane or a walker. The study was informed by an interpretive approach grounded in feminist disability theory, and was guided by the following research questions: 1. How do older men and women perceive and experience having walking restrictions in later life? 2. How do older men and women perceive and experience the use of a cane or a walker in their everyday lives? 3. How does the social and environmental context of mobility shape individuals’ use of canes and walkers in later life? Using a qualitative descriptive method, I conducted a combination of sit-down and walk-along interviews with six male and 18 female cane and walker users aged 67 to 98. The men and women each took part in two sit-down interviews, during which I asked them to discuss what it was like to have walking limitations and to regularly use a walking aid. In addition, participants completed one walk-along interview, during which I accompanied them on an outing to a location of their choosing. In the findings, I discuss the men’s and women’s embodied experiences of having walking limitations and utilizing canes and walkers in the context of the ableist, ageist, and gendered organization of everyday life. In particular, the findings examine the social and spatial practices that organize older adults’ use of their canes and walkers; the cultural meanings attributed to canes and walkers in later life; how these meanings are shaped by the embodied experience of aging and impairment; and how in turn, the use of walking aids may inform older adults’ views of their bodies and identities.
