description: The Vitruvian Man is a metaphor for the "ideal man" by feminist posthuman philosopher Rosi Braidotti (2013) as a proxy for eurocentric humanist ideals. The first half of this paper extends Braidotti's concept by thinking about the metaphor of the "ideal nurse" (Vitruvian nurse) and how this metaphor contributes to racism, oppression, and burnout in nursing and might restrict the professionalization of nursing. The Vitruvian nurse is an idealized and perfected form of a nurse with self-sacrificial language (re)producing self-sacrificing expectations. The second half of this paper looks at how regulatory frameworks (using the example of UK's Nursing and Midwifery Council Code of Conduct) institutionalize the conditions of possibility through collective imaginations. The domineering expectations found within the Vitruvian nurse metaphor and further codified by regulatory frameworks give rise to boredom and burnout. The paper ends by suggesting possible ways to diffract regulatory frameworks to practice with affirmative ethics and reduce feelings of self-sacrifice and exhaustion among nurses.

description: We calculate the static polarizability of multilayer graphene and study the effect of stacking arrangement, carrier density, and onsite energy difference on graphene screening properties. At low densities, the energy spectrum of multilayer graphene is described by a set of chiral two-dimensional electron systems and the associated chiral nature determines the screening properties of multilayer graphene showing very different behavior depending on whether the chirality index is even or odd. As density increases, the energy spectrum follows that of the monolayer graphene and thus the polarizability approaches that of monolayer graphene. The qualitative dependence of graphene polarizability on chirality and layering indicates the possibility of distinct graphene quantum phases as a function of the chirality index.

description: Based on a simple model, we theoretically show that asymmetric transportation is possible in nanoscale systems experiencing thermal noise without the presence of external fluctuations. The key to this theoretical advance is that the correlation lengths of the thermal fluctuations become significantly long for nanoscale systems. This differs from macroscopic systems in which the thermal noises are usually treated as white noise. Our observation does not violate the second law of thermodynamics, since at nanoscale, extra energy is required to keep the asymmetric structure against thermal fluctuations.

description: Future quantum technologies such as quantum communication, quantum sensing, and distributed quantum computation, will rely on networks of shared entanglement between spatially separated nodes. In this work, we provide improved protocols and policies for entanglement distribution along a linear chain of nodes, both homogeneous and inhomogeneous, that take practical limitations into account. For a wide range of parameters, our policies improve upon previously known policies, such as the “swap-as-soon-as-possible” policy, with respect to both the waiting time and the fidelity of the end-to-end entanglement. This improvement is greatest for the most practically relevant cases, namely, for short coherence times, high link losses, and highly asymmetric links. To obtain our results, we model entanglement distribution using a Markov decision process, and then we use the 𝑄-learning reinforcement-learning (RL) algorithm to discover alternative policies. These policies are characterized by dynamic, state-dependent memory cutoffs, and collaboration between the nodes. In particular, we quantify this collaboration between the nodes. Our quantifiers tell us how much “global” knowledge of the network every node has, specifically, how much knowledge two distant nodes have of each other’s states. In addition to the usual figures of merit, these quantifiers add an extra dimension to the performance analysis and practical implementation of quantum repeaters. Finally, our understanding of the performance of large quantum networks is currently limited by the computational inefficiency of simulating them using RL or other optimization methods. The other main contribution of our work is to address this limitation. We present a method for nesting policies in order to obtain policies for large repeater chains. By nesting our RL-based policies for small repeater chains, we obtain policies for large repeater chains that improve upon the swap-as-soon-as-possible policy, and thus we pave the way for a scalable method for obtaining policies for long-distance entanglement distribution under practical constraints.

description: We give a mathematical exposition of the Page metric, and introduce an efficient coordinate system for it. We carefully examine the submanifolds of the underlying smooth manifold, and show that the Page metric does not have positive holomorphic bisectional curvature. We exhibit a holomorphic subsurface with flat normal bundle. We also give another proof of the fact that a compact complex surface together with an Einstein-Hermitian metric of positive orthogonal bisectional curvature is biholomorphically isometric to the complex projective plane with its Fubini-Study metric up to rescaling. This result relaxes the Kähler condition in Berger's theorem, and the positivity condition on sectional curvature in a theorem proved by the second author.

Signal Identification for Rare and Weak Features: Higher Criticism or False Discovery Rates?

description: Signal identification in large-dimensional settings is a challenging problem in biostatistics. Recently, the method of higher criticism (HC) was shown to be an effective means for determining appropriate decision thresholds. Here, we study HC from a false discovery rate (FDR) perspective. We show that the HC threshold may be viewed as an approximation to a natural class boundary (CB) in two-class discriminant analysis which in turn is expressible as FDR threshold. We demonstrate that in a rare-weak setting in the region of the phase space where signal identification is possible both thresholds are practicably indistinguishable, and thus HC thresholding is identical to using a simple local FDR cutoff. The relationship of the HC and CB thresholds and their properties are investigated both analytically and by simulations, and are further compared by application to four cancer gene expression data sets.

description: We compare tools for complementing nondeterministic Büchi automata with a recent termination-analysis algorithm. Complementation of Büchi automata is a key step in program verification. Early constructions using a Ramsey-based argument have been supplanted by rank-based constructions with exponentially better bounds. In 2001 Lee et al. presented the size-change termination (SCT) problem, along with both a reduction to Büchi automata and a Ramsey-based algorithm. The Ramsey-based algorithm was presented as a more practical alternative to the automata-theoretic approach, but strongly resembles the initial complementation constructions for Büchi automata. We prove that the SCT algorithm is a specialized realization of the Ramsey-based complementation construction. To do so, we extend the Ramsey-based complementation construction to provide a containment-testing algorithm. Surprisingly, empirical analysis suggests that despite the massive gap in worst-case complexity, Ramsey-based approaches are superior over the domain of SCT problems. Upon further analysis we discover an interesting property of the problem space that both explains this result and provides a chance to improve rank-based tools. With these improvements, we show that theoretical gains in efficiency of the rank-based approach are mirrored in empirical performance.

Respiratory-gated liver stereotactic radiotherapy in flattening filter free photon mode
Creators: name: Karan, Tania
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Respiratory motion makes radiotherapy of abdominal targets, such as the liver difficult. Respiratory gating is used to treat tumours in select portions of the respiratory cycle where their location is well known, increasing target coverage precision and reducing normal tissue damage. The tradeoff is an increase in treatment time, which can be partially overcome by using a higher dose rate, provided by flattening filter free (FFF) photon mode. To validate that increasing dose rate through removal of the flattening filter does not decrease cell kill, radiobiological experiments were carried out with three cell lines. Both the clonogenic survival assay and γH2AX double strand break assay indicated that FFF mode does not negatively affect cell kill. To form dosimetric and radiobiological bases for gated radiotherapy in FFF mode, a phantom was used to simulate respiratory traces of 10 patients previously treated for hepatic disease. Following 4DCT imaging, four plans were created and delivered for each respiratory trace; one nongated and three with the following gating windows: 80-20%, 40-60% and 30-70%. Treatments were delivered in 10MV FFF mode at 2400 MU/min, with optically stimulated luminescence dosimeters (OSLD) used for dosimetric measurements. OSLD doses were compared to those calculated by Eclipse Treatment Planning System. The plans were delivered to vials of cells to confirm whether dose to a moving target is compromised, changing cell survival. Dosimetry and survival was compared between the gated groups and also against the baseline – nongated treatment of a static phantom. Discrepancies of up to 7% were observed between the planned and measured doses. Most gated plans showed Eclipse overestimating the physical dose to the OSLDs, however the reverse was true for nongated plans. The best correlation between Eclipse and OSLD dose was seen in nongated plans and plans with a short duty cycle during expiration. Significant differences in cell survival and metabolic activity were seen between the gated groups and could not be attributed to dosimetric differences. No trend was established for the gated plan that results in the highest cell kill. Dosimetrically this work concludes that gating in FFF mode results in acceptable variations in target coverage.

description: We have performed H and Ks band observations of the planetary system around HR 8799 using the new AO system at the Large Binocular Telescope and the PISCES Camera. The excellent instrument performance (Strehl ratios up to 80% in H band) enabled detection the inner planet HR8799e in the H band for the first time. The H and Ks magnitudes of HR8799e are similar to those of planets c and d, with planet e slightly brighter. Therefore, HR8799e is likely slightly more massive than c and d. We also explored possible orbital configurations and their orbital stability. We confirm that the orbits of planets b, c and e are consistent with being circular and coplanar; planet d should have either an orbital eccentricity of about 0.1 or be non-coplanar with respect to b and c. Planet e can not be in circular and coplanar orbit in a 4:2:1 mean motion resonances with c and d, while coplanar and circular orbits are allowed for a 5:2 resonance. The analysis of dynamical stability shows that the system is highly unstable or chaotic when planetary masses of about 5 MJup for b and 7 MJup for the other planets are adopted. Significant regions of dynamical stability for timescales of tens of Myr are found when adopting planetary masses of about 3.5, 5, 5, and 5 Mjup for HR 8799 b, c, d, and e respectively. These masses are below the current estimates based on the stellar age (30 Myr) and theoretical models of substellar objects.

description: Because of their high pulse energies, X-ray free-electron lasers (FEL) allow to resolve the structure of individual nanoparticles via coherent diffractive imaging (CDI) within a single X-ray pulse. Since the inevitable rapid destruction of the sample limits the achievable resolution, a thorough understanding of the spatiotemporal evolution of matter on the nanoscale following the irradiation is crucial. We present a technique to track X-ray induced structural changes in time and space by recording two consecutive diffraction patterns of the same single, free-flying nanoparticle, acquired separately on two large-area detectors opposite to each other, thus examining both the initial and evolved particle structure. We demonstrate the method at the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) and soft X-ray Free-electron LASer in Hamburg (FLASH), investigating xenon clusters as model systems. By splitting a single XUV pulse, two diffraction patterns from the same particle can be obtained. For focus intensities of about $2\cdot10^{12}\,\text{W/cm}^2$ we observe still largely intact clusters even at the longest delays of up to 650 picoseconds of the second pulse, indicating that in the highly absorbing systems the damage remains confined to one side of the cluster. Instead, in case of five times higher flux, the diffraction patterns show clear signatures of disintegration, namely increased diameters and density fluctuations in the fragmenting clusters. Future improvements to the accessible range of dynamics and time resolution of the approach are discussed.

description: We prove Poincaré and Plancherel-Polya inequalities for weighted {\ell}p -spaces on weighted graphs in which the constants are explicitly expressed in terms of some geometric characteristics of a graph. We use Poincaré type inequality to obtain some new relations between geometric and spectral properties of the combinatorial Laplace operator. Several well known graphs are considered to demonstrate that our results are reasonably sharp. The Plancherel-Polya inequalities allow for application of the frame algo- rithm as a method for reconstruction of Paley-Wiener functions on weighted graphs from a set of samples. The results are illustrated by developing Shannon- type sampling in the case of a line graph. Our work has potential applications to data mining and learning theory on graphs.

Asymmetric Defaultable Interest Rate Swap Valuation and Bilateral Credit Value Adjustment

Subjects: defaultable interest rate swap, bilateral defaultable claim, credit asymmetry, market models, Black model, LIBOR market model, reduced-form model, credit value adjustment, swap spread.

description: The unilateral defaultable claim valuation problems have been studied extensively, but the valuation of a bilateral contingent claim with asymmetric credit qualities is still lacking convincing mechanism. This paper presents an analytical model for valuing contingent claims, e.g., interest rate swaps, subject to default by both counterparties. The default-free interest rates are modeled by the Market Models, while the default time is modeled by the reduced-form model as the first jump of a time-inhomogeneous Poisson process. All quantities modeled are market-observable. The closed-form solution gives us a better understanding of the impact of the credit asymmetry on swap value, credit value adjustment, swap rate and swap spread.

description: Motivated by recent suggestions that a number of observed galaxy clusters have masses which are too high for their given redshift to occur naturally in a standard model cosmology, we use Extreme Value Statistics to construct confidence regions in the mass-redshift plane for the most extreme objects expected in the universe. We show how such a diagram not only provides a way of potentially ruling out the concordance cosmology, but also allows us to differentiate between alternative models of enhanced structure formation. We compare our theoretical prediction with observations, placing currently observed high and low redshift clusters on a mass-redshift diagram and find -- provided we consider the full sky to avoid a posteriori selection effects -- that none are in significant tension with concordance cosmology.

description: Dramatic changes to the transparency, rigor, reproducibility and replicability of research practices have occurred in the last decade. Despite considerable progress towards the adoption of open science practices by researchers in many disciplines, developing pedagogy to train students in open and reproducible scholarship has received much less attention. Engaging students with the multiple dimensions of open scholarship is crucial to embedding sustainable change: it enables the future generation of researchers to practice open scholarship themselves, fosters lasting engagement with research, and allows them to better understand findings in light of epistemic uncertainty. Teaching students about open scholarship also helps it become a public good, thereby reducing knowledge inequities in academia and beyond. We address the lack of an infrastructure for open scholarship education by introducing the Framework for Open and Reproducible Research Training (FORRT). FORRT is a community-driven infrastructure for educators that advances research transparency, reproducibility, rigor, and ethics through pedagogical reform. FORRT encompasses multiple initiatives and tools to provide educators with guidance and resources to easily embed open and reproducible practices into research training. In addition to fostering a wider ecosystem for resource-sharing and discussion, FORRT has developed a wide range of initiatives, including a seven-part roadmap to the open scholarship literature, a curated database of open scholarship materials and pedagogies for customizable adoption by teachers, and a self-assessment tool to help educators evaluate the integration of open scholarship tenets in their own teaching and mentoring. FORRT actively works towards principled teaching and mentoring, an underappreciated dimension of the scientific endeavour.
Adversus paganos : disaster, dragons, and episcopal authority in Gregory of Tours
Creators: name: Patterson, David J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: It is commonly assumed that, in the early Middle Ages, those phenomena which modern readers might recognize as “natural disasters” were instead interpreted as divine punishments resulting from human sin. The appropriate response to such phenomena thus involved individual and collective penance. This thesis investigates one particularly inscrutable account of a “natural disaster” recorded by Gregory of Tours in Book 10 of his Histories: a catastrophic flood of the Tiber River that was followed by an outbreak of pestilence at Rome. The flooding was accompanied by striking "signa" and ominous portents: the corpse of a dragon was washed downstream together with several serpents. The calamity not only destroyed church property but also claimed the life of Pope Pelagius II. I conclude that Gregory’s description of these events indeed confirms the notion that calamities readily construed by modern readers as natural disasters were seen in the late sixth century as divinely ordained punishments. Yet Gregory’s interpretation of the disasters befalling Rome is also quite complex; the dragon and serpents, I conclude, represent the pagan god Asclepius, and thus form part of a complex interpretive framework drawing upon pagan historiography and the works of Christian apologists. Through this interpretive framework, Gregory sought to reveal the immediate causes of Rome’s divine punishment, the logic behind Pelagius’ death, and the appropriate or ideal role of “the good bishop” or “good shepherd”—represented in this instance by Gregory the Great—in providing succor and ameliorating the effects of a punishment wrought by God.

description: We construct two types of phase spaces for asymptotically de Sitter Einstein-Hilbert gravity in each spacetime dimension $d \ge 3$. One type contains solutions asymptotic to the expanding spatially-flat ($k=0$) cosmological patch of de Sitter space while the other is asymptotic to the expanding hyperbolic $(k=-1)$ patch. Each phase space has a non-trivial asymptotic symmetry group (ASG) which includes the isometry group of the corresponding de Sitter patch. For $d=3$ and $k=-1$ our ASG also contains additional generators and leads to a Virasoro algebra with vanishing central charge. Furthermore, we identify an interesting algebra (even larger than the ASG) containing two Virasoro algebras related by a reality condition and having imaginary central charges $\pm i \frac{3\ell}{2G}$. Our charges agree with those obtained previously using dS/CFT methods for the same asymptotic Killing fields showing that (at least some of) the dS/CFT charges act on a well-defined phase space. Along the way we show that, despite the lack of local degrees of freedom, the $d=3, k=-1$ phase space is non-trivial even in pure $Λ> 0$ Einstein-Hilbert gravity due to the existence of a family of `wormhole' solutions labeled by their angular momentum, a mass-like parameter $θ_0$, the topology of future infinity ($I^+$), and perhaps additional internal moduli. These solutions are $Λ> 0$ analogues of BTZ black holes and exhibit a corresponding mass gap relative to empty de Sitter.

description: We analyze the spread of a localized peak of energy into vacuum for nonlinear diffusive processes. In contrast with standard diffusion, the nonlinearity results in a compact wave with a sharp front separating the perturbed region from vacuum. In $d$ spatial dimensions, the front advances as $t^{1/(2+da)}$ according to hydrodynamics, with $a$ the nonlinearity exponent. We show that fluctuations in the front position grow as $\sim t^μ η$, where $μ<1/(2+da)$ is a new exponent that we measure and $η$ is a random variable whose distribution we characterize. Fluctuating corrections to hydrodynamic profiles give rise to an excess penetration into vacuum, revealing scaling behaviors and robust features. We also examine the discharge of a nonlinear rarefaction wave into vacuum. Our results suggest the existence of universal scaling behaviors at the fluctuating level in nonlinear diffusion.

description: QCD lattice simulations determine hadron masses as functions of the quark masses. From the gradients of these masses and using the Feynman-Hellmann theorem the hadron sigma terms can then be determined. We use here a novel approach of keeping the singlet quark mass constant in our simulations which upon using an SU(3) flavour symmetry breaking expansion gives highly constrained (i.e. few parameter) fits for hadron masses in a multiplet. This is a highly advantageous procedure for determining the hadron mass gradient as it avoids the use of delicate chiral perturbation theory. We illustrate the procedure here by estimating the light and strange sigma terms for the baryon octet.

description: Connes and Cuntz showed in [Comm. Math. Phys. 114 (1988), 515-526] that suitable cyclic cocycles can be represented as Chern characters of finitely summable semifinite Fredholm modules. We show an analogous result in twisted cyclic cohomology using Chern characters of modular Fredholm modules. We present examples of modular Fredholm modules arising from Podleś spheres and from $SU_q(2)$.

How parent and child attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms predict parenting behaviour in mothers and fathers : self-report and observational measures
Creators: name: Williamson, David Kenneth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Parents of children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are known to engage in more negative and fewer positive parenting behaviours with their sons than controls. Further, parents who themselves have ADHD have greater difficulty in parenting. However, people with ADHD are also known to have difficulty accurately reporting on their behaviour, and may not be reliable reports of their parenting. Further, the vast majority of research on parenting in ADHD is exclusively with mothers. It is not known the extent to which research on mothers extends to fathers. In this study, I investigated whether ADHD symptoms in mothers and fathers interacted with ADHD symptoms in their sons in the association with positive and negative parenting problems and whether results differed when parenting behaviour was self-reported or observed. I found that observations of parenting were not related to parental ADHD symptoms. When parenting was self-reported, both mothers' and fathers' ADHD symptoms were related to parenting. However, only mothers’ ADHD symptoms continued to be related to their self-reports of parent behaviour when other family variables were controlled. This suggests that the pattern of associations of family ADHD symptoms with parenting is different for mothers and fathers, and that there may be discrepancies in perceptions of parenting as no associations were found when parenting was observed.

Smart random walkers: the cost of knowing the path

description: In this work we study the problem of targeting signals in networks using entropy information measurements to quantify the cost of targeting. We introduce a penalization rule that imposes a restriction to the long paths and therefore focus the signal to the target. By this scheme we go continuously from fully random walkers to walkers biased to the target. We found that the optimal degree of penalization is mainly determined by the topology of the network. By analyzing several examples, we have found that a small amount of penalization reduces considerably the typical walk length, and from this we conclude that a network can be efficiently navigated with restricted information.
