description: Tamariki Māori are over-represented in the Aotearoa New Zealand child protection system, a long-standing problem which has its roots in the impacts of colonisation. The issue has come to a head in recent years, with a report from the Waitangi Tribunal in 2021, ‘He Pāharakeke, He Rito Whakakīkīnga Whāruarua’, finding that the government had breached the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi/The Treaty of Waitangi in relation to child protection. Drawing on my recently-completed PhD research, this presentation will focus on this topic, with a particular focus on child protection policy. Between 1988 and 2021 there were at least 13 major reviews of the child protection system, with six of those coming within the last three years alone. I analyse those reviews with a view to identifying what has changed, what must still change, and how systems designed to support tamariki and whānau Māori can escape this cycle of almost-continuous review. There is a sharp distinction between the findings of the six most recent reviews, with three of them concluding that the necessary changes are best achieved within the current system, and the other three recommending a far more substantial overhaul, as part of a shift towards a ‘by Māori, for Māori’ system grounded in rangatiratanga. I argue that if the child protection system is to ever meet the needs of Māori it is the latter of these options which must prevail. Systems designed to support tamariki and whānau Māori must be grounded in tikanga Māori. Crucially, they must address not only the needs of those individual tamariki and whānau, but also the wider restoration of tikanga in Aotearoa New Zealand generally. A decolonisation framework helps to highlight the wider changes that are necessary to improve outcomes for Māori generally, while also highlighting what must change within the child protection system itself. I outline six tikanga Māori principles which I believe can be central to a decolonised child protection system – mana, rangatiratanga, wānanga, whakapapa, whanaungatanga and whānau. I analyse the ways in which those principles could shift child protection policy and provide examples of what reform might look like. In this sense my presentation addresses the theme of Pae Ora, in seeking to improve outcomes for tamariki and whānau Māori, while also addressing Pae Ahurei, by proposing a uniquely indigenous framework which could give effect to broader aspirations regarding Māori self-determination. I believe that finding a way to uphold both of those short-term and longer-term goals is what will ultimately make the biggest difference for Māori. The longer-term changes required are fundamental, and the child protection system can perhaps be a place to start.

description: Metal-Insulator-Metal (MIM) plasmonic structures can confine electromagnetic waves to a deep subwavelength regime, enabling strong light-matter interactions with potential applications in nonlinear optics and on-chip photonic circuitry. In addition, strong coupling of mid-infrared (mid-IR) vibrational transitions to optical cavities provides a way to modify and control a material's chemical reactivity and may also allow for highly sensitive chemical detection technology. Here, we experimentally and theoretically investigate the mid-IR optical properties of 3D-printed, nanoscale, anisotropic, L-shaped MIM plasmonic cavities. We observe strong vibrational-plasmon coupling between the two dipolar modes of the L-cavity and the polymer dielectric. The resulting three polariton modes are well described by a multimode coupled oscillator model, which we employ to predict the polariton behavior as a function of cavity arm length. The 3D printing technique offers time and cost reduction advantages over typical electron beam lithography and represents a highly accessible and versatile means of printing arbitrary-shaped nanometer-sized mid-IR plasmonic cavities capable of producing strong light-matter interactions for a variety of photonic or photochemical applications.
Augmentation of L-DOPA-evoked dopamine efflux by Methylphenidate : role for the D2 autoreceptor?
Creators: name: Ma, Bonita
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Using a 6-OHDA model of Parkinson’s disease, we have preliminary evidence that L-DOPA-derived dopamine (DA) ceases to be released through conventional mechanisms of exocytosis under severe denervation. This may be problematic, as large, and possibly unregulated release of L-DOPA-derived DA would be expected to cause abnormal patterns of DA stimulation at the postsynaptic receptors, likely contributing to the development of dyskinesia. This issue may be overcome with the Dopamine Transporter (DAT) blocker Methylphenidate (MPD). Ahn and Phillips observed that MPD augmented the L-DOPA-derived DA efflux in a manner consistent with the under-appreciated fact that MPD also acts as a vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT2) agonist (Volz, 2008), thereby facilitating the sequestration of cytosolic DA into vesicles, where it could enter into a cycle of impulse-dependent release processes. The hypothesis that MPD may influence the sequestration and release of L-DOPA-derived DA into presynaptically-regulated mechanisms of exocytosis may have beneficial therapeutic implications. Thus, the two major objectives of this thesis were first to assess whether L-DOPA-derived DA remained under presynaptic D2 autoreceptor regulation dependent on the severity of striatal denervation, and second, to investigate the mechanism(s) by which MPD may facilitate vesicular DA release, possibly by involvement of the D2 autoreceptor. L-DOPA was reverse-dialyzed into the intact and 6-OHDA lesioned dorsal striatum of the rat, followed by the reverse-dialysis of the D2 autoreceptor agonist and antagonist, Quinpirole and Eticlopride, or the VMAT2 inhibitor, Tetrabenazine. Although L-DOPA-evoked DA efflux remained under D2 autoreceptor control in the intact and moderately lesioned striatum, in the case of severe, 95% denervation, L-DOPA-evoked DA efflux was unaffected by D2 autoreceptor regulation or VMAT2 inhibition. However, despite the apparent loss of autoreceptor regulation, a subsequent study found that inhibitory binding of the D2 autoreceptor by reverse-dialysis of Eticlopride into the severely denervated striatum prior to the administration of MPD, completely blocked MPD-induced augmentation of L-DOPA-derived DA. These results implicate the D2 autoreceptor in a novel mechanism by which MPD can facilitate DA neurotransmission, and suggest that even under conditions of severe denervation, the presynaptic D2 autoreceptor may be manipulated pharmacologically to facilitate the exocytotic release of L-DOPA-derived DA.

description: By employing a Boltzmann transport equation and using an energy and size dependent relaxation time ($τ$) approximation (RTA), we evaluate self-consistently the thermoelectric figure-of-merit $ZT$ of a quantum wire with rectangular cross-section. The inferred $ZT$ shows abrupt enhancement in comparison to its counterparts in bulk systems. Still, the estimated $ZT$ for the representative Bi$_2$Te$_3$ nanowires and its dependence on wire parameters deviate considerably from those predicted by the existing RTA models with a constant $τ$. In addition, we address contribution of the higher energy subbands to the transport phenomena, the effect of chemical potential tuning on $ZT$, and correlation of $ZT$ with quantum size effects (QSEs). The obtained results are of general validity for a wide class of systems and may prove useful in the ongoing development of the modern thermoelectric applications.

description: It is now firmly established that the overrepresentation of tamariki Māori within the Aotearoa New Zealand child protection system is largely a consequence of colonisation. However, at least as far as the Crown is concerned, the contention that decolonisation is a necessary step in reversing those trends remains a more controversial issue. Drawing on my doctoral research into this topic, this article argues that the child protection system must be decolonised, and that efforts towards reform which do not prioritise decolonisation are likely to perpetuate long-standing harms. The article has four goals. First, I examine why decolonisation provides the best framework through which to enact child protection system reform. Secondly, I identify three overarching themes within the current legal framework, but argue that the presence of these themes does not mean they are all given equal weight. Thirdly, I outline a theory of reform I have termed "kaupapa Māori legal theory", which seeks to enable legislative change based on tikanga Māori in a way which pays heed to the risks of doing so from a Māori perspective. Finally, I apply that theory to child protection law, identifying six tikanga principles which could provide the basis of a decolonised system: mana, rangatiratanga, wānanga, whānau, whakapapa and whanaungatanga.

description: Dielectric resonators (DRs) are one of the three microwave macroscopic material measurements technologies, considered and further developed within the MMAMA project. The main purpose of this Deliverable is to propose a new software technique for enhancing the resolution of DR measurements without the need to reduce the DR’s head and increase the operating frequency. The Deliverable contains:

- a brief review of inherent limitations of DR measurements, in terms of sample size and spatial resolution, as well as earlier approaches for their overcoming,

- field - theoretical derivation of a new technique for resolution enhancement, by calibrating the raw scan of material surface with pre-simulated electromagnetic (EM) field patterns in the DR,

- measurement and calibration workflow implementing the proposed technique,

- "virtual laboratory" in Matlab environment, with testing models and procedures for validation of the workflow,

- example results for virtual and real - life samples.

Besides the main purpose of enhancing the DR measurements per se, it is believed that the concept of resolution improvement by de-embedding raw measurements with known (pre-simulated) EM field patterns helps bridging the gap between the macroscopic and microscopic measurement technologies considered in the project.

description: Nobel laureate Wolfgang Paul showed, back in the 1950s, that charged particles can be trapped using alternating electric fields. This technique is commonly referred to as Paul traps or radiofrequency traps (RF-traps) and is used in various areas of modern physics. This paper presents a 3D-printed mechanical Paul trap, a naïve simulation of the system in Python, and student investigations. The files for the 3D-printed trap are available for download and print, and the code for the simulation is available to run and tinker with.

description: We establish the existence of a fundamental limit to the efficiency of spin-exchange optical pumping of 3He nuclei by collisions with spin-polarized alkali-metal atoms. Using accurate ab initio calculations of molecular interactions and scattering properties, we show that the maximum 3He spin polarization that can be achieved in spin-exchange collisions with potassium (39K) and silver (107Ag) atoms is limited by the anisotropic hyperfine interaction. We find that spin exchange in Ag-He collisions occurs much faster than in K-He collisions, suggesting the possibility of using Ag in spin-exchange optical pumping experiments to increase the production rate of hyperpolarized 3He. Our analysis indicates that measurements of trap loss rates of 2S atoms in the presence of cold 3He gas may be used to probe anisotropic spin-exchange interactions in atom-He collisions.

description: We investigate the classical eigenvalue problem that arises in hydrodynamics and is referred to as the sloshing problem. It describes free liquid oscillations in a liquid container W in R^3. We study the case when W is an axially symmetric, convex, bounded domain satisfying the John condition. The Cartesian coordinates (x,y,z) are chosen so that the mean free surface of the liquid lies in (x,z)-plane and y-axis is directed upwards (y-axis is the axis of symmetry). Our first result states that the fundamental eigenvalue has multiplicity 2 and for each fundamental eigenfunction phi there is a change of x,z coordinates by a rotation around y-axis so that phi is odd in x-variable. The second result of the paper gives the following monotonicity property of the fundamental eigenfunction phi. If phi is odd in x-variable then it is strictly monotonic in x-variable. This property has the following hydrodynamical meaning. If liquid oscillates freely with fundamental frequency according to phi then the free surface elevation of liquid is increasing along each line parallel to x-axis during one period of time and decreasing during the other half period. The proof of the second result is based on the method developed by D. Jerison and N. Nadirashvili for the hot spots problem for Neumann Laplacian.

description: Short-range order (SRO) in Fe-rich Fe-Cr alloys is investigated by means of atomistic off-lattice Monte Carlo simulations in the semi-grand canonical ensemble using classical interatomic potentials. The SRO parameter defined by Cowley [Phys. Rev. B 77, 669 (1950)] is used to quantify the degree of ordering. In agreement with experiments a strong ordering tendency in the Cr distribution at low Cr concentrations (~< 5%) is observed, as manifested in negative values of the SRO parameters. For intermediate Cr concentrations (5% ~< c_Cr ~< 15%) the SRO parameter for the alpha-phase goes through a minimum, but at the solubility limit the alpha-phase still displays a rather strong SRO. In thermodynamic equilibrium for concentrations within the two-phase region the SRO parameter measured over the entire sample therefore comprises the contributions from both the alpha and alpha-prime phases. If both of these contributions are taken into account, it is possible to quantitatively reproduce the experimental results and interpret their physical implications. It is thereby shown that the inversion of the SRO observed experimentally is due to the formation of stable (supercritical) alpha-prime precipitates. It is not related to the loss of SRO in the alpha-phase or to the presence of unstable (subcritical) Cr precipitates in the alpha-phase.

Matsumura (1907) described the characteristics of this species as follows: body dark brown, vertex of head and median line of prothorax yellow; wings greyish white and sub- hyaline, rather reduced venation, bearing 8 crossveins between media and cubitus 1, and 5 cross- veins between cubitus 1 and 2; legs and cerci dark yellow; body length 9-12 mm and wing expanse 27-33 mm long. Matsumura (1907) probably measured from dry specimens. Also, he commented that this species was as common as Nemoura japonica Matsumura at that time. The color looks similar to that of the genus Stavsolus, but no information on the locality is given in his description. Still, the identity of this species cannot be settled without his specimens.

description: We investigate symmetry-resolved entanglement in out-of-equilibrium fermionic systems subject to gain and loss dissipation, which preserves the block-diagonal structure of the reduced density matrix. We derive a hydrodynamic description of the dynamics of several entanglement-related quantities, such as the symmetry-resolved von Neumann entropy and the charge-imbalance-resolved fermionic negativity. We show that all these quantities admit a hydrodynamic description in terms of entangled quasiparticles. While the entropy is dominated by dissipative processes, the resolved negativity is sensitive to the presence of entangled quasiparticles, and it shows the typical ``rise and fall'' dynamics. Our results hold in the weak-dissipative hydrodynamic limit of large intervals, long times and weak dissipation rates.

description: We consider the isotropic-to-nematic transition in liquid crystals confined to aerogel hosts, and assume that the aerogel acts as a random field. We generally find that self-averaging is violated. For a bulk transition that is weakly first-order, the violation of self-averaging is so severe, even the correlation length becomes non-self-averaging: no phase transition remains in this case. For a bulk transition that is more strongly first-order, the violation of self-averaging is milder, and a phase transition is observed.

description: We present a new determination of the dust content and near-ultraviolet/optical extinction curves associated with a sample of ~8300 strong (equivalent width > 1A) Mg II absorbers, with redshifts 0.41A and 34+/-2 per cent for absorbers with EW>2A. Direct determination of the shape of the near-ultraviolet extinction curves for absorbers as a function of E(B-V) show evidence for systematic changes in the form of the extinction curves. At low E(B-V) (>0.05), the extinction curve is well represented by a Small Magellanic Cloud-like extinction curve. For intermediate E(B-V)s (<0.2), approximately a third of MgII absorbers show evidence for a 2175A feature similar to that of the Large Magellanic Cloud. For the small number of high E(B-V) (>0.3) absorbers, the majority of which exhibit strong CaII 3935,3970 absorption, there is evidence for a 2175A feature as strong as that found in the Milky Way. Application of the new results on the dust content of strong Mg II absorbers shows that dusty absorbers can account for a significant proportion, up to a factor of two, of the observed overdensity of absorbers seen towards Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) sightlines, compared to sightlines towards quasars in flux-limited samples.

description: The full understanding of plasma disruption in tokamaks is currently lacking, and data-driven methods are extensively used for disruption prediction. However, most existing data-driven disruption predictors employ supervised learning techniques, which require labeled training data. The manual labeling of disruption precursors is a tedious and challenging task, as some precursors are difficult to accurately identify, limiting the potential of machine learning models. To address this issue, commonly used labeling methods assume that the precursor onset occurs at a fixed time before the disruption, which may not be consistent for different types of disruptions or even the same type of disruption, due to the different speeds at which plasma instabilities escalate. This leads to mislabeled samples and suboptimal performance of the supervised learning predictor. In this paper, we present a disruption prediction method based on anomaly detection that overcomes the drawbacks of unbalanced positive and negative data samples and inaccurately labeled disruption precursor samples. We demonstrate the effectiveness and reliability of anomaly detection predictors based on different algorithms on J-TEXT and EAST to evaluate the reliability of the precursor onset time inferred by the anomaly detection predictor. The precursor onset times inferred by these predictors reveal that the labeling methods have room for improvement as the onset times of different shots are not necessarily the same. Finally, we optimize precursor labeling using the onset times inferred by the anomaly detection predictor and test the optimized labels on supervised learning disruption predictors. The results on J-TEXT and EAST show that the models trained on the optimized labels outperform those trained on fixed onset time labels.

Design and integration of controllers for simulated characters

description: Developing motions for simulated humanoids remains a challenging problem. While there exists a multitude of approaches, few of these are reimplemented or reused by others. The predominant focus of papers in the area remains on algorithmic novelty, due to the difficulty and lack of incentive to more fully explore what can be accomplished within the scope of existing methodologies. We develop a language, based on common features found across physics based character animation research, that facilitates the controller authoring process. By specifying motion primitives over a number of phases, our language has been used to design over 25 controllers for motions ranging from simple static balanced poses, to highly dynamic stunts. Controller sequencing is supported in two ways. Naive integration of controllers is achieved by using highly stable pose controllers (such as a standing or squatting) as intermediate transitions. More complex controller connections are automatically learned through an optimization process. The robustness of our system is demonstrated via random walkthroughs of our integrated set of controllers.

description: The eigenvalue probability density functions of the classical random matrix ensembles have a well known analogy with the one component log-gas at the special couplings β= 1,2 and 4. It has been known for some time that there is an exactly solvable two-component log-potential plasma which interpolates between the β=1 and 4 circular ensemble, and an exactly solvable two-component generalized plasma which interpolates between β= 2 and 4 circular ensemble. We extend known exact results relating to the latter --- for the free energy and one and two-point correlations --- by giving the general (k_1+k_2)-point correlation function in a Pfaffian form. Crucial to our working is an identity which expresses the Vandermonde determinant in terms of a Pfaffian. The exact evaluation of the general correlation is used to exhibit a perfect screening sum rule.

The central black hole mass of the high-sigma but low-bulge-luminosity lenticular galaxy NGC 1332

description: The masses of the most massive supermassive black holes (SMBHs) predicted by the M_BH-sigma and M_BH-luminosity relations appear to be in conflict. Which of the two relations is the more fundamental one remains an open question. NGC 1332 is an excellent example that represents the regime of conflict. It is a massive lenticular galaxy which has a bulge with a high velocity dispersion sigma of ~320 km/s; bulge--disc decomposition suggests that only 44% of the total light comes from the bulge. The M_BH-sigma and the M_BH-luminosity predictions for the central black hole mass of NGC 1332 differ by almost an order of magnitude. We present a stellar dynamical measurement of the SMBH mass using an axisymmetric orbit superposition method. Our SINFONI integral-field unit (IFU) observations of NGC 1332 resolve the SMBH's sphere of influence which has a diameter of ~0.76 arcsec. The sigma inside 0.2 arcsec reaches ~400 km/s. The IFU data allow us to increase the statistical significance of our results by modelling each of the four quadrants separately. We measure a SMBH mass of (1.45 \pm 0.20) x 10^9 M_sun with a bulge mass-to-light ratio of 7.08 \pm 0.39 in the R-band. With this mass, the SMBH of NGC 1332 is offset from the M_BH-luminosity relation by a full order of magnitude but is consistent with the M_BH-sigma relation.

description: We present an analysis on the sensitivity to the active-sterile neutrino mixing with Germanium (Ge) and Silicon (Si) detectors in the context of the proposed coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus experiment in India. The study has been carried out with 3 (active) $+$ 1 (sterile) neutrino oscillation model. It is observed that the measurements that can be carried out with the Ge detector exhibit better sensitivity to the active-sterile neutrino mixing as compared to the Si detector. Both detectors are able to exclude most of the anomaly regions observed by the GALLIUM experiment. The Ge detector with mass 10 kg, can observe the active-sterile neutrino oscillation at 95$\%$ confidence level, provided that $\sin^{2}2θ_{14}\geq 0.09$ at $Δm^{2}_{41}$ = 1.0 eV$^{2}$ for an exposure of 1-yr. At higher values of $Δm^{2}_{41}$, a better sensitivity is obtained at a short baseline. It is also found that the threshold as well as resolution of the detectors play a crucial role on the measurements of active-sterile neutrino mixing parameters.

Impedance control without force sensors with application in homecare robotics
Creators: name: Wang, Yanjun
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: This thesis addresses the problem of interaction control between robot manipulator and the manipulated object in a homecare project. This project aims to use homecare robots at the elderly or disabled people’s home to provide necessary aid and assistance. The robot manipulator is to be operated in autonomous mode or teleoperation mode. The possible first aid or assistance requires direct interaction between the remote side robot manipulator and the human body. To guarantee the compliant interaction between the manipulator and the human body, impedance control was applied. In impedance control, neither the force nor the actual motion of the manipulator is controlled. The dynamic relationship between the interaction force and the resulting motion is controlled so that the interaction force will be monitored and kept at an acceptable range. To shape the mechanical impedance to any desired value as we wish, the remote side interaction force sensing is required. The interaction force could be sensed by a force sensor. Force sensors have a lot of inherent limitations such as narrow bandwidth, sensing noise, and high cost. To avoid a force sensor due to its limitations, sliding mode observers will be applied to estimate the interaction force. The estimated interaction force will be used in the impedance control algorithms. The observer and controller framework will be formulated and the solvability will be discussed thoroughly. In addition, the proposed approach will be compared with some available approaches to show its advantages over others. Bilateral impedance control will be applied in a teleoperation system. The master side impedance controller is to ensure the robust stability of the teleoperation system. The remote slave side impedance controller is used so that the interaction force will be monitored and kept at some acceptable range. Desired impedance parameters selection will be discussed considering the compromise between robust stability and performance. Also, in order to deal with the uncertainties in operator and environment dynamics, a robust performance guaranteed controller synthesis approach will be proposed. Gain-scheduling control could guarantee the stability and the robust performance under those uncertainties.
Resonant Excitation of Disk Oscillations in Deformed Disks V: Effects of Dissipative Process

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: It is suggested that a set of positive- and negative-energy oscillations can be resonantly excited in the inner region of deformed (warped or eccentric) relativistic disks. In this paper we examine how a dissipative process affects on this wave excitation process. The results show that when the resonant condition in frequency is roughly satisfied and thus the oscillations are excited, introduction of a dissipative process works so as to decrease the growth rate of the oscillations. When the frequency difference of the two oscillations deviates more than a certain amount from that required by resonant condition, however, the oscillations are excited by introduction of dissipative process. This excitation by dissipative process can be understood as a special example of the double-diffusive instability.
