title: DEPRECATED: AN INVESTIGATION OF CERTAIN HUMAN HEALTH PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH BRACKEN FERN (Pteridium aquilinum) ENVIRONMENTS IN THE U.K.
Creators: name: SHEAVES, BARBARA JOAN
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1995

description: Bracken environments harbour the sheep tick (Ixodes ricinus), known vector of a number of diseases. Initial investigation indicated the presence of sheep ticks infected with the Lyme disease spirochaete Borrelia burgdorferi on open moorland areas of the North York Moors and the moorland areas of the South West of the U.K. Some aspects of the problem of Lyme disease on U.K. moorlands were explored in this study. A survey through the summer of 1993 of people using the North York Moors, Dartmoor and the Quantock Hills in Somerset for both work and leisure activities revealed a very high proportion of people (76% of respondents had not heard of Lyme disease) who were unaware of the risk of Lyme disease or of how they might reduce that risk. An examination of three moorland vegetation communities as optimal tick habitats suggested that immature ticks are less dense on heather dominated communities than on either bracken or on Vaccinium dominated communities, and that this may be influenced by the fauna using heather dominated areas. Vaccinium sites showed high densities of all life stages of the sheep tick, as did bracken dominated sites. Ticks were collected throughout the winter months on South Western sites, but not on the North York Moors, emphasising the year round risk from infected ticks in the South West of the U.K. Vegetation management practices as tick control or reduction options in these moorland areas were investigated. Asulam spraying on bracken almost totally removed the above ground frond cover, substantially reduced live buds on the rhizome, but failed to reduce the rhizome dry weight. The density of frond cover was not affected by cutting, height and dry frond weight were reduced, live rhizome buds reduced in number and rhizome dry weight reduced. Short term control of bracken fronds was achieved by both treatments, but neither treatment provided sufficiently conclusive results on which to base long term recommendations. Comprehensive plans for after care on treated sites need to be in place before treatment is carried out. Tick densities were recorded over a two year period on these treated bracken sites. There was a proportional reduction in all tick life stages between 1993 and 1994 on sites sprayed with asulam and on cut sites compared with control sites. Although not statistically significant these results suggested that the methods of bracken control investigated in this study could influence sheep tick densities in the short term.

description: We study transport phenomena in p-wave superfluids in the context of gauge/gravity duality. Due to the spacetime anisotropy of this system, the tensorial structure of the transport coefficients is non-trivial in contrast to the isotropic case. In particular, there is an additional shear mode which leads to a non-universal value of the shear viscosity even in an Einstein gravity setup. In this paper, we present a complete study of the helicity two and helicity one fluctuation modes. In addition to the non-universal shear viscosity, we also investigate the thermoelectric effect, i.e. the mixing of electric and heat current. Moreover, we also find an additional effect due to the anisotropy, the so-called flexoelectric effect.

A power evaluation framework for FPGA applications and CAD experimentation
Creators: name: Dueck, Stuart
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) consume roughly 14 times more dynamic power than Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) making it challenging to incorporate FPGAs in low-power applications. To bridge the gap, power consumption in FPGAs needs to be addressed at the application, Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tool, architecture, and circuit levels. The ability to properly evaluate proposals to reduce the power dissipation of FPGAs requires a realistic and accurate experimental framework. Mature FPGA power models are ﬂexible, but can suffer from poor accuracy due to estimations on signal activity and simplifications. Additionally, run-time increases with the size of the design. Other techniques use unrealistic assumptions while physically measuring the power of a circuit running on an FPGA. Neither of these techniques can accurately portray the power consumption of FPGA circuits. We propose a framework to allow FPGA researchers to evaluate the impact of proposals for the reduction of power in FPGAs. The framework consists of a real-world System-on-Chip (SoC) and can be used to explore algorithmic and CAD techniques, by providing the ability to measure the power at run-time. High-level access to common low-level power-management techniques, such as clock gating, Dynamic Frequency Scaling (DFS), and Dynamic Partial Reconﬁguration (DPR), is provided. We demonstrate our framework by evaluating the effects of pipelining and DPR on power. We also reason why our framework is necessary by showing that it provides different conclusions than that of previous work.

description: We derive a closed-form expression for the orthogonal polynomials associated with the general lognormal density. The result can be utilized to construct easily computable approximations for probability density function of a product of random variables, when the considered variates are either independent or correlated. As an example, we have calculated the approximative distribution for the product of Nakagami-m variables. Simulations indicate that accuracy of the proposed approximation is good with small cross-correlations under light fading condition.

Is the magnetic activity of Classical Cepheids modulated by pulsation? The case of eta Aquilae

Subjects: stars: variables: Cepheids

description: Classical Cepheids are evolved descendants of massive B stars with complex evolutionary histories. They exhibit large-amplitude radial pulsations, and their Period-Luminosity relation (Leavitt Law) makes them a foundational element in the Cosmic Distance Ladder and crucial to the recent increase in the significance of the "Hubble tension". In addition, it has been shown that Cepheids exhibit a number of intriguing phenomenon including infrared excess, cycle-to-cycle line variability, UV variability and phase-dependent X-ray "flashes". There are also open questions regarding the rotational history of Cepheids, mass loss through stellar winds and a discrepancy in stellar masses derived from evolution models versus pulsation calculations. Despite the cosmological and evolutionary importance of Cepheids, virtually nothing is known about their magnetic properties and what role magnetic fields may play in these observed phenomena. To date, the only Cepheid with a confirmed magnetic field detection is eta Aquilae. Here we present preliminary results of magnetic measurements from high-resolution spectropolarimetry of eta Aquilae across its 7.2 d pulsation cycle. The Least-Squares Deconvolution (LSD) Stokes V signatures exhibit an unusual shape across all phases which may be attributable to velocity gradients due to pulsation. We also discuss a newly proposed magnitude limited systematic survey of the brightest Galactic Cepheids. The aim of this survey is to provide the first characterization of magnetic fields across the Cepheid instability strip and identify suitable targets for follow-up phase-resolved spectropolarimetric observations.

description: Coherent QCD radiation in the hadroproduction of top quark pairs leads to a forward--backward asymmetry that grows more negative with increasing transverse momentum of the pair. This feature is present in Monte Carlo event generators with coherent parton showering, even though the production process is treated at leading order and has no intrinsic asymmetry before showering. In addition, depending on the treatment of recoils, showering can produce a positive contribution to the inclusive asymmetry. We explain the origin of these features, compare them in fixed-order calculations and the Herwig++, Pythia and Sherpa event generators, and discuss their implications.

description: In the context of theories of gravity modified to account for the observed dynamics of galactic systems without the need to invoke the existence of dark matter, a prediction often appears regarding low acceleration systems: wherever $a$ falls below $a_{0}$ one should expect a transition from the classical to the modified gravity regime.This modified gravity regime will be characterised by equilibrium velocities which become independent of distance, and which scale with the fourth root of the total baryonic mass, $V^{4} \propto M$. The two above conditions are the well known flat rotation curves and Tully-Fisher relations of the galactic regime. Recently however, a similar phenomenology has been hinted at, at the outskirts of Galactic globular clusters, precisely in the region where $a

El Siglo de las Luces di Alejo Carpentier: alla ricerca di un Mondo Migliore, tra lampi rivoluzionari e frammenti di paradiso

description: In El siglo de las luces, an apparently historical novel, Alejo Carpentier analyzes the American experience of European modernity through the dislocation of both French Revolution objects and ideas.
In this novel, the writer considers the Caribbean (and, so, Latin America) as a paradisiac place coping with theories and ideologies generated in Other centres. Therefore, the Revolution movements towards the suburbs, the intersections of perspectives, visions and translations, organized as a network without a proper centre, lead to a new interpretation of the "American contradistinction" based on accumulation, contradiction and paradox.
This article illustrates the challenges to the Revolution paradigm as proposed by Alejo Carpentier, the essential starting point to consider the construction of the “American Being" and the myth of the Promised Land.

Security of practical private randomness generation

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Measurements on entangled quantum systems necessarily yield outcomes that are intrinsically unpredictable if they violate a Bell inequality. This property can be used to generate certified randomness in a device-independent way, i.e., without making detailed assumptions about the internal working of the quantum devices used to generate the random numbers. Furthermore these numbers are also private, i.e., they appear random not only to the user, but also to any adversary that might possess a perfect description of the devices. Since this process requires a small initial random seed, one usually speaks of device-independent randomness expansion. The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we point out that in most real, practical situations, where the concept of device-independence is used as a protection against unintentional flaws or failures of the quantum apparatuses, it is sufficient to show that the generated string is random with respect to an adversary that holds only classical-side information, i.e., proving randomness against quantum-side information is not necessary. Furthermore, the initial random seed does not need to be private with respect to the adversary, provided that it is generated in a way that is independent from the measured systems. The devices, though, will generate cryptographically-secure randomness that cannot be predicted by the adversary and thus one can, given access to free public randomness, talk about private randomness generation. The theoretical tools to quantify the generated randomness according to these criteria were already introduced in [S. Pironio et al, Nature 464, 1021 (2010)], but the final results were improperly formulated. The second aim of this paper is to correct this inaccurate formulation and therefore lay out a precise theoretical framework for practical device-independent randomness expansion.

Para-paradisi. “Colonial agency”, paradisi postcoloniali e invenzione dell’altro

Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano

Subjects: Colonial agency ; Third space ; Homi Bhabha ; Epistemic violence ; Kurt Vonnegut Jr ; Will Self

description: Based on the issue of colonial agency and aiming at a revision of Homi Bhabha’s notion of third space, this essay considers two novels roughly based on a dystopian pattern and actually showing two similar interpretations of the Other. The first one, Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle (1963), was written as a political and fictional response to the US bombing of Hiroshima and is set in the Republic of San Lorenzo, a Carribbean island whose history has developed through the struggle between a naïf and ruthless dictator, ‘Papa’ Monzano, and a religious leader, Bokonon, who’s made an outlaw though the religion he predicates is professed by almost everyone. The second, Will Self’s The Butt (2008), develops the story of a tourist, Tom Brodzinki, in a tropical island conceived as something of a cross between Australia and Iraq. In both cases, the main focus is the relationship between the Westerner – ex-colonizer and naïf traveller – and the native, that appears to be more ambiguous than it seemed at first sight.  The Imperial legacy produces a definite notion of exotic Paradise that is finally reversed in the colonizer’s Hell.

description: The South Pacific is a region still unimportant in the world scene, where there are islands which are extremely variable in size and are often gathered in archipelagos. Since it was long neglected by the processes of colonialism, the region has managed to preserve a rich environmental and cultural heritage, abundant and unusual in the European hetero-perception. The region was first considered as a far and wild paradise to tame and exploit in the name of geopolitics and the economy, and is now divided into two linguistic areas, English and French. This situation has not prevented the creation of narratives, representations and stereotypes around this idyllic region and its elements of wilderness, mystery, remoteness, exoticism, isolation.This article focuses on the French islands in the South Pacific: New Caledonia, Polynesia and Wallis and Futuna. Beyond their stereotypes and hetero images (tropical paradises, smiling populations), such islands present some extremely varied forms of spatial organization and land management, depending on physical realities, cultural heritage, social, political and economical processes. While traditional tourism promotes the image of tropical paradise, their self-representations are trying to show a different vision, which increases the differences between the three French archipelagos of the South Pacific.

description: The attention is focused on the cultural and semiotic significance of the area called Rublevka in the outskirts of Moscow. Since the past centuries emperors and dignitaries settled in the woods and on the hills west of the capital because of the clean air and the beauty of the landscape. Soviet party members built their dachas in the same area, confirming the idea of prestige and exclusivness of the territory. In the mid Nineties, just after the fall of the Soviet Union, the so called “new Russian” (nouveaux riches) started to have luxury mansion built along the former Tsar road, nowadays called Rublevka. Moving from the concept of heterotopia, elaborated by Michel Foucault, as space of otherness, which is neither here nor there, that is simultaneously physical and mental, the article investigates the dream of the new Russian leading class of a “paradise” far from the crowd, from the proletarian memories of housing problems in the Soviet Union and the reason why the “aura” of the territory remains the same in spite of historical and social changes. House and mansions were surrounded by high walls and protected by constant patrolling and security cameras. No socialization was intended, and no permeability was allowed. In the last years the traffic jams, caused by security reasons connected with the transit of political leaders (including Putin and Medvedev), are slowly changing the situation. Show business people and entrepreneurs are leaving the area which is turning from a heterotopia into a “super-place”, filled with super markets, luxury stores, infra structures that convinced the pioneers of paradise-settlement that Italian or British countryside is more reliable and more exclusive, and that the outskirts of Moscow are no longer capable of offering “sanctuary” in spite of their secular tradition of prestige.

description: We obtain the Crooks and the Jarzynski non-equilibrium fluctuation relations using a direct quantum-mechanical approach for a finite system that is either isolated or coupled not too strongly to a heat bath. These results were hitherto derived mostly in the classical limit. The two main ingredients in the picture are the time-reversal symmetry and the application of the first law to the case where an agent performs work on the system. No further assumptions regarding stochastic or Markovian behavior are necessary, neither a master equation or a classical phase-space picture are required. The simplicity and the generality of these non-equilibrium relations are demonstrated, giving very simple insights into the Physics.

Stochastic modelling of animal movement using intermittent search patterns
Creators: name: Bläßle, Alexander Josef
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: In a world that is changing rapidly due to anthropogenic disturbances, an understanding of animal behaviour is key to the protection and restoration of endangered populations. Animal movement is strongly correlated to changes in the environment and constrained by physiology. Intermittent search patterns are compositions of different movement modes enabling a forager to switch from smaller intensive search steps to large extensive search steps mostly used for relocation. In this thesis, we extend previous modelling approaches for intermittent search patterns and test these extensions on optimal foraging strategies with respect to various definitions of search efficiency incorporating costs of metabolism and locomotion. We show that intermittent search patterns appear to be optimal mainly if there is either a penalty on larger steps such as a decrease in perceptual radius or predation success rate, if the global prey density is low enough to force the predator to relocate between patches or individuals, or if the prey distribution is sparse. We also show that optimal foraging strategies are especially efficient if one movement mode is more advantageous with respect to the defined search efficiency than another, resulting in a larger difference between the optimal and worst strategies. Relocation phases are the heart of intermittent search patterns. We thus also show how predators might optimize their encounter rate during relocation (extensive search mode) phases moving along more erratic trajectories. In the second part of this thesis, we focus on how we can measure the spatial heterogeneity of prey and what this tells us about encounter rates and the chances that tagged prey items are caught. We present a novel metric that enables relative prediction of encounter rates and hitting probabilities for sparse environments by taking the initial location of prey into account. However, since measuring the location of all prey may be difficult in real world experiments, we also provide a method that uses tools developed in our optimal foraging study to estimate possible ranges for encounter rates and hitting probabilities when a set of movement and environment parameters are unknown.

description: The academic institute, a huge consumer of energy, is still depending upon the grid and/or conventional fuel despite having potential areas of a solar PV installation. No such study has been reported in Nepal which has techno-economically discussed the potential use of academic institute rooftops for solar PV installation. In this study, we have investigated the techno-economic and environmental assessment of a 1 megawatt (MW) rooftop solar PV using PVsyst for Purwanchal Campus, Nepal. It has been estimated the plant will produce about 1,660 MWh of usable AC electricity annually and out of which 95% can be supplied to the grid. The remaining can fulfill the demand of the campus at sunshine hours. For this, a capital investment of about USD 961,404 is needed for the plant with an annual operating cost of USD 8,008. This project gives a 190% return of investment within its life of 25 years with a Levelized cost of energy (LCOE) of 0.069 USD/kWh. The performance ratio and payback period of the project are calculated at about 0.765 and 8.4 years, respectively. The system will produce about 97% less emission than that of diesel generator, which is currently being used for power backup. It is concluded that a 1 MW grid-connected solar PV system is feasible for the studied campus.

description: We redefine the surface tension coefficient for a nuclear Fermi-liquid drop with a finite diffuse layer. Following Gibbs-Tolman concept, we introduce the equimolar radius R_e of sharp surface droplet at which the surface tension is applied and the radius of tension surface R_s which provides the minimum of the surface tension coefficient σ. This procedure allows us to derive both the surface tension and the corresponding curvature correction (Tolman length) correctly for the curved and diffuse interface. We point out that the curvature correction depends significantly on the finite diffuse interface. This fact is missed in traditional nuclear considerations of curvature correction to the surface tension. We show that Tolman's length ξis negative for nuclear Fermi-liquid drop. The value of the Tolman length is only slightly sensitive to the Skyrme force parametrization and equals ξ=-0.36 fm.

description: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can lead to significant psychological distress, but few psychologists in Australia are trained in working with this complex clinical group. Despite government funding to provide video-consulting (VC) services in Australia, uptake before COVID-19 was limited. This mixed methods study evaluated whether training in eHealth and evidence based TBI psychological therapies increased provider uptake of VC in clinical practice, and delivery of mental health services to individuals with TBI. Mental health professionals completed a range of self-report measures before (n = 50), after (n = 48), and four months following (n = 30) a one-day workshop. Participants’ TBI knowledge, client-base and levels of access, confidence, motivation and attitudes toward VC were assessed. Knowledge did not increase after training but participants had significant increases in their confidence and motivation to using VC at follow up. Significant reductions in pragmatic barriers to using VC were reported post training and at follow up, all barrier categories indicated significant reductions. There was no significant change in clinical practice of the participants. Training to increase TBI knowledge requires specific assessment tools and although training appears to reduce barriers to using VC, uptake in clinical practice may require additional supervision and warrants further research.

description: We study the effect of non-trivial sound speeds on local-type non-Gaussianity during multiple-field inflation. To this end, we consider a model of multiple-field DBI and use the deltaN formalism to track the super-horizon evolution of perturbations. By adopting a sum separable Hubble parameter we derive analytic expressions for the relevant quantities in the two-field case, valid beyond slow variation. We find that non-trivial sound speeds can, in principle, curve the trajectory in such a way that significant local-type non-Gaussianity is produced. Deviations from slow variation, such as rapidly varying sound speeds, enhance this effect. To illustrate our results we consider two-field inflation in the tip regions of two warped throats and find large local-type non-Gaussianity produced towards the end of the inflationary process.

Initial-boundary value problems for integrable evolution equations with $3 \times 3$ Lax pairs

description: We present an approach for analyzing initial-boundary value problems for integrable equations whose Lax pairs involve $3 \times 3$ matrices. Whereas initial value problems for integrable equations can be analyzed by means of the classical Inverse Scattering Transform (IST), the presence of a boundary presents new challenges. Over the last fifteen years, an extension of the IST formalism developed by Fokas and his collaborators has been successful in analyzing boundary value problems for several of the most important integrable equations with $2 \times 2$ Lax pairs, such as the Korteweg-de Vries, the nonlinear Schrödinger, and the sine-Gordon equations. In this paper, we extend these ideas to the case of equations with Lax pairs involving $3 \times 3$ matrices.

From diagnosis to discernment : fostering the development of clinical judgment of paramedic learners in immersive high fidelity simulations
Creators: name: Bowles, Ronald Robin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Paramedic educators are challenged to produce greater numbers of graduates who are better prepared to function in an evolving health care system. The growth of high fidelity simulation (HFS) holds promise for reducing reliance on the practicum environment, long a crucial step between the classroom and field practice. Yet, despite significant investment in simulation infrastructure, HFS is still seen as an adjunct to, but not a replacement for, practicum placement. The practical problem addressed in this study, then, was the presumption that HF simulation can reduce reliance on practicum placement. The research question explored how HFS influences the development of clinical competence and clinical judgment. This multiple-case study employed a multi-vocal approach, gathering data from 75 classroom and HF simulations. An iterative, inductive process of analysis provided a phenomenological exploration of participants’ experiences and interactions and a critical analysis of their judgments and decision making. The findings in this study suggest that existing paramedic simulations and the practicum represent radically different learning environments, each with its own sets of roles, expectations, patterns of practice, and methods of evaluation that call on different epistemological and ontological conceptions of what constitutes competent practice, what knowledge matters most, and how learning occurs. The varied learning activities in this study fostered different ways of knowing as learners moved from the consistency of context-independent skill performance to the socially constructed adaptation of procedures and protocols in dynamic simulations, and, finally, to the socially negotiated understandings arising from co-emergent activity in a field setting. Effective simulations require situational blends of fidelity to create environments realistic enough to meet their pedagogic goals. Simulations intended to foster clinical competence and clinical judgment must provide occasions for discernment; they must create a milieu involving complex interpersonal interactions and genuine opportunities for clinical decision making. Thus, paramedic simulations must be as concerned with role, environmental, interpersonal, and social/cultural fidelity as with physiological and procedural fidelity. In this sense, populating HFS more richly with actors and authentic interdisciplinary responders may often be as important as the use of HF mannequins and standardized patients.

description: We study the metastability and decay of multiply-charged superflow in a ring-shaped atomic Bose-Einstein condensate. Supercurrent corresponding to a giant vortex with topological charge up to q=10 is phase-imprinted optically and detected both interferometrically and kinematically. We observe q=3 superflow persisting for up to a minute and clearly resolve a cascade of quantised steps in its decay. These stochastic decay events, associated with vortex-induced $2 π$ phase slips, correspond to collective jumps of atoms between discrete q values. We demonstrate the ability to detect quantised rotational states with > 99 % fidelity, which allows a detailed quantitative study of time-resolved phase-slip dynamics. We find that the supercurrent decays rapidly if the superflow speed exceeds a critical velocity in good agreement with numerical simulations, and we also observe rare stochastic phase slips for superflow speeds below the critical velocity.

Addressing anxiety through mathematics : from demanding performances to giving audience.
Creators: name: D'Amour, Lissa Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: In this dissertation, I inquire into the conditions of anxiety in mathematics learning, doing so by invoking a narrative of work with one such anxious learner, not as exemplar of anything perfect, linear, precise, or even the budding of technique. It is rather a muddling through with a sensibility of respect for a person, a discipline, and the possibilities inhering therein. It ultimately comes to be a story about giving audience to a self and a subject discipline as best I might, on that self’s and that discipline’s own terms rather than acceding to a Platonic demand to perform according to inaccessible ideals that would construe the learner in the terms of the discipline. Taking seriously the world in a grain of sand, the narrative serves as hermeneutic window onto a pervasive issue of absent trust in self, in the other, and in the capacity to learn, be, and become well with and through others in the world. In the process, I interrogate Cartesian, narcissistic, and mathematics anxieties at the root of present systemic pathologies in education, and individual and collective struggles to be well, mind-in-body, given that unavoidable paradox of singular plural being. I address the consequences of understanding learning as autopoietic becoming under conditions where learning is regularly circumscribed by an after-the-fact insistence on orderly construals of knowing—learning strangely positioned as at odds with the messy, unorderly, non-linear cognitive work of conceptual formulation. And finally I explore the play of mathematics between the world as given and therefore discoverable and the world as made and therefore conceivable. I come to describe that play as through anxiety into a stillness of something beautiful, always just ahead, though enticingly present to curiosity’s possibility.
