description: For the thermoelectric properties of NaxCoO2, we analyze the effect of local Coulomb interaction and (disordered) potential differences for Co-sites with adjacent Na-ion or vacancy. The disorder potential alone increases the resistivity and reduces the thermopower, while the Coulomb interaction alone leads only to minor changes compared to the one-particle picture of the local density approximation. Only combined, these two terms give rise to a substantial increase of the thermopower: the number of (quasi-)electrons around the Fermi level is much more suppressed than that of the (quasi-)holes. Hence, there is a particle-hole imbalance acting in the same direction as a similar imbalance for the group velocities. Together, this interplay results in a large positive thermopower. Introducing a thermoelectric spectral density, we located the energies and momenta regions most relevant for the thermopower and changes thereof.

The targum (1882:June 2 - 1882:June 19)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1882

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: The latest boom of Machine Learning (ML) in the early-2010s has raised a new wave of interest among creative practitioners to explore the intersection of Art and Artificial Intelligence (AI), specifically Generative Machine Learning. A growing number of artists, designers, and architects appropriated these algorithms to make new tools for their creative practices. This dissertation introduces and documents a collaborative framework to make machine learning-based tools for creative practices. The framework embraces the idiosyncratic nuances and elements of the physical context of the creative practice. It takes a new point of view on data and data curation as the primary method of interacting with ML algorithms. The framework achieves this goal by utilizing small user-generated datasets, which are biased toward the creative practitioners’ personal preferences, subjective measures, and elements of the physical context of their practice. Through collaboration with machine learning expert toolmakers, the framework makes ML algorithms more accessible to these creative practitioners. It highlights the affordances of ML algorithms, specifically Conditional Variational AutoEncoders (C-VAE), that can be efficiently trained and overfit on small datasets to produce outcomes that are closely tied to the creative practitioners and their context. In the two case studies, the framework serves as a high-level blueprint to develop bespoke tools that support various stages of machine learning-based toolmaking for creative practitioners. In SecondHand, I collaborated with a group of participants to develop handwriting typeface generation tool. A dashboard, based on Dash Plotly, featuring interactive data visualization and data curation tools, was developed for this study. In ThirdHand, I collaborated with a musician to create a robotic tool to play santur, a traditional Persian musical instrument, using an ABB IRB 120 robotic arm and a real santur. The case studies demonstrated that the proposed collaborative framework meaningfully brings ML experts’ technical literacy to complement creative practitioners’ domain knowledge and skills to overcome the technical ML challenges, and help integrate various idiosyncratic aspects, elements of the physical context, and nuances of creative practice in the toolmaking process.

description: We present a scheme to entangle two magnon modes in a cavity magnomechanical system. The two magnon modes are embodied by collective motions of a large number of spins in two macroscopic ferrimagnets, and couple to a single microwave cavity mode via magnetic dipole interaction. We show that by activating the nonlinear magnetostrictive interaction in one ferrimagnet, realized by driving the magnon mode with a strong red-detuned microwave field, the two magnon modes can be prepared in an entangled state. The entanglement is achieved by exploiting the nonlinear magnon-phonon coupling and the linear magnon-cavity coupling, and is in the steady state and robust against temperature. The entangled magnon modes in two massive ferrimagnets represent genuinely macroscopic quantum states, and may find applications in the study of macroscopic quantum mechanics and quantum information processing based on magnonics.

The Dynamics of the Envelope Surrounding the Protostar HH 211-mm

description: We present a study of the structure and dynamics of the dense gas surrounding the HH 211-mm source, using VLA observations of the ammonia (1,1) and (2,2) inversion transitions. We find the envelope around this Class 0 source has an elongated geometry, extending about 104 AU in the direction perpendicular to the well-known HH 211 jet, and exhibits a velocity distribution consistent with rotation along the major axis. Our VLA observations indicate that the envelope is mostly in virial equilibrium. However, comparing our data with results from previous studies it appears that the gas within approximately 0.005 pc of the central protostar is undergoing dynamical collapse. The size of this collapsing radius may constrain the amount of mass that can eventually infall into the forming star. We also find that the envelope is mostly internally heated, most probably by radiation from the central protostar. In addition, we detect evidence of outflow-envelope interaction in the ammonia data. These include a velocity gradient in the dense gas along the outflow axis and significant line broadening that is spatially correlated with the jet and it might be the result of outflow-induced turbulence in the envelope.

description: Optical multilayer coatings of high-reflective mirrors significantly determine the properties of Fabry-Perot resonators. Thermal (Brownian) noise in these coatings produce excess phase noise which can seriously degrade the sensitivity of high-precision measurements with these cavities, in particular in laser gravitational-wave antennas (for example project LIGO), where at the current stage it is one of the main limiting factors. We present a method to calculate this effect accurately and analyze different strategies to diminish it by optimizing the coating. Traditionally this noise is calculated as if the beam is reflected from the surface of the mirror fluctuating due to the sums of the fluctuations of each layer. However the beam in fact penetrates a coating and Brownian expansion of the layers leads to dephasing of interference in the coating and consequently to additional change in reflected phase. Fluctuations in the thickness of a layer change the strain in the medium and hence due to photoelastic effect change the refractive index of this layer. This additional effect should be also considered. It is possible to make the noise smaller preserving the reflectivity by changing the total number of layers and thicknesses of high and low refractive ones. We show how this optimized coating may be constructed analytically rather then numerically as before. We also check the possibility to use internal resonant layers and optimized cap layer to decrease the thermal noise.

Community context of adaptation to environmental change

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Humans are causing rapid changes to the biotic and abiotic conditions on Earth. My thesis investigates how competition might shape adaptation to an altered environment. Intraspecific competition creates diversifying selection, which alters the genetic variation available for adaptation. Using an individual-based model, I found that intraspecific variation altered the genetic variance-covariance matrix by pushing standing genetic variation to more closely resemble available resources. This changed the “genetic line of least resistance” so that standing genetic variation and de novo mutation both provided possibilities for evolutionary rescue in different directions. Competition between species can also influence evolution to abiotic change. Using an individual-based model I found that differences in population size and competitive ability, between two species, could facilitate coexistence and in some cases cause evolution to occur in the opposite direction to that predicted from environmental change. In an empirical setting, I asked whether species diversity may alter adaptation to abiotic change by changing population size, increasing genetic diversity, and/or by altering selection experienced by a focal species. Using a reciprocal transplant experiment on grasses evolved for 14 years under ambient and elevated CO₂ conditions, in communities of low or high species-richness, I found that the biological community altered the nature of selection in elevated CO₂, so that adaptation was observed primarily when species were grown in a community similar to the one in which they were previously selected. Lastly, I tested whether functional traits of species observed today might reflect differences in the nature of selection experienced in different biotic and abiotic environments. In contrast to expectation I only found the main effects of species diversity and abiotic change to influence plant functional traits. Overall, my research highlights an important role for species interactions in altering adaptation to abiotic environmental change, which cannot be overlooked when predicting how species will adapt to climate change.

Distinguishing mirror from glass: A 'big data' approach to material perception

description: Visually identifying materials is crucial for many tasks, yet material perception remains poorly understood. Distinguishing mirror from glass is particularly challenging as both materials derive their appearance from their surroundings, yet we rarely experience difficulties telling them apart. Here we took a 'big data' approach to uncovering the underlying visual cues and processes, leveraging recent advances in neural network models of vision. We trained thousands of convolutional neural networks on >750,000 simulated mirror and glass objects, and compared their performance with human judgments, as well as alternative classifiers based on 'hand-engineered' image features. For randomly chosen images, all classifiers and humans performed with high accuracy, and therefore correlated highly with one another. To tease the models apart, we then painstakingly assembled a diagnostic image set for which humans make highly systematic errors, allowing us to decouple accuracy from human-like performance. A large-scale, systematic search through feedforward neural architectures revealed that relatively shallow networks predicted human judgments better than any other models. However, surprisingly, no network correlated better than 0.6 with humans (below inter-human correlations). Thus, although the model sets new standards for simulating human vision in a challenging material perception task, the results cast doubt on recent claims that such architectures are generally good models of human vision.

description: Human ovarian reserve is defined by the population of nongrowing follicles (NGFs) in the ovary. Direct estimation of ovarian reserve involves the identification of NGFs in prepared ovarian tissue. Previous studies involving human tissue have used hematoxylin and eosin (HE) stain, with NGF populations estimated by human examination either of tissue under a microscope, or of images taken of this tissue. In this study we replaced HE with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), and automated the identification and enumeration of NGFs that appear in the resulting microscopic images. We compared the automated estimates to those obtained by human experts, with the "gold standard" taken to be the average of the conservative and liberal estimates by three human experts. The automated estimates were within 10% of the "gold standard", for images at both 100x and 200x magnifications. Automated analysis took longer than human analysis for several hundred images, not allowing for breaks from analysis needed by humans. Our results both replicate and improve on those of previous studies involving rodent ovaries, and demonstrate the viability of large-scale studies of human ovarian reserve using a combination of immunohistochemistry and computational image analysis techniques.
Leadership Development of Academic Librarians: An Exploratory Study

description: This reports a qualitative study to build a better understanding of leadership development process in academic libraries. It explores leadership development of librarians through the perception and experiences of practicing librarians in five publicly funded universities in Hong Kong, using an anonymous survey, followed by one-on-one interviews with 22 librarians. The findings describe librarians’ leadership capacity as a construct with three components: competencies, personal attributes and actions to perform four leadership roles: Navigator, Experimenter, People Developer, and Relations Builder. The study depicts librarians’ leadership development as a long-term process containing developmental opportunities of four broad types: training programmes, work experiences, social relations and self-learning. Work experiences and social relations are the powerful types in developing leadership capacity; the other two broad types are important supplements in librarians’ development journey. The study explores factors that affect leadership development effectiveness in three aspects: developmental features of activities, personal learning attributes and organizational context. The analysis suggests that organizational context influences the other two aspects through enhancing mechanisms that generates development opportunities, and facilitating motivation of librarians to engage in leadership development. The study proposes three points of insights into leadership development: 1) leadership development as daily work life experiences; 2) libraries’ leadership development systems and strategies; 3) librarians’ responsibilities to set and achieve development goals.

description: We study the dynamics of strongly dissipative Hénon-like maps, around the first bifurcation parameter $a^*$ at which the uniform hyperbolicity is destroyed by the formation of tangencies inside the limit set. We prove that $a^*$ is a full Lebesgue density point of the set of parameters for which Lebesgue almost every initial point diverges to infinity under positive iteration. A key ingredient is that $a^*$ corresponds to "non-recurrence of every critical point", reminiscent of Misiurewicz parameters in one-dimensional dynamics. Adapting on the one hand Benedicks & Carleson's parameter exclusion argument, we construct a set of "good parameters" having $a^*$ as a full density point. Adapting Benedicks & Viana's volume control argument on the other, we analyze Lebesgue typical dynamics corresponding to these good parameters.

description: We study the properties of gravity and bulk fields living in a torsion warped braneworld. The torsion is driven by a background vector whose norm provides a source for the bulk cosmological constant. For a vector as the derivative of a scalar field, we find new isotropic and anisotropic thick brane geometries. We analyse the features of bosonic and fermionic fields in this isotropic and in standing wave scenarios. The background vector provides nonminimal coupling between the field and the geometry leading to modifications in the Kaluza-Klein states. The spinor connection is modified by the torsion and a derivative Yukawa-like coupling is proposed. The effects of these new couplings are investigated.

description: The presence of pets has been associated with reduction of stress and blood pressure and therefore may reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Methods:
Relative risks (RR) of all deaths, death due to myocardial infarction (MI), cardiovascular diseases (MI or stroke), and stroke during a 20 year follow-up were determined by Cox proportional hazards analysis for categories of cat or dog ownership among participants after adjustment for potential confounding variables.
Results:
Previous or present use of cats as domestic pets was reported by 2435 (55%) of the 4435 participants. After adjustment for differences in age, gender, ethnicity/race, systolic blood pressure, cigarette smoking, diabetes mellitus, serum cholesterol, and body mass index, a significantly lower RR for death due to MI was observed in participants with past cat ownership (RR, 0.63; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.44 to 0.88) compared with those without cats as pet at any time. There was also a trend for decreased risk for death due to cardiovascular diseases among participants with past cat ownership (RR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.55 to 1.0).
Supporting all learners' engagement in a multicultural classroom using a culturally responsive self-regulated learning framework

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Culturally diverse learners (i.e., students from different cultural backgrounds studying together in the same classrooms) populate North American classrooms. The benefits of classroom cultural diversity notwithstanding, teachers struggle to support all learners’ engagement in multicultural classroom contexts. Fortunately, research on culturally responsive teaching (CRT) and self-regulated learning (SRL) both identify teacher practices that enhance student engagement, albeit from different perspectives. This study explored how classroom teachers at multicultural schools on the West Coast of Canada built on a Culturally Responsive Self-Regulated Learning Framework (Anyichie & Butler, 2017) to design a supportive learning environment for their students. This dissertation applied sociocultural and situated perspectives to learning as sensitizing lenses. Two elementary teachers and forty-three students in two classrooms (i.e., grades 4 and 5) participated in this study. A multiple, parallel case study design that integrated mixed methods of data collection was used to investigate teacher enacted practices, teachers’ perceptions about the practices, and how those practices may have been associated with students’ engagement. Data were generated through video-taped observations, records of classroom practices, an experience sampling method, students’ work samples, a student survey, and teacher and student interviews. Results indicated that: (1) while designing a supportive classroom context for all learners (e.g., an inquiry-based project), teachers enacted practices in the three main categories of the CR-SRL framework including classroom foundational practices, CR-SRL pedagogical practices and dynamic supportive practices, although in different ways; (2) teachers perceived both benefits and challenges associated with trying to enact new practices; and (3) student engagement and motivation could be linked to teacher practices. In addition, students’ engagement and motivation varied across contexts (e.g., classrooms, teacher practices, and days). Overall findings suggest that the CR-SRL framework served as a successful guide for teachers’ enhancement of all learners’ engagement. Further findings revealed dynamic, complex learner-context interactions, and how learning processes, such as engagement, motivation, and regulation of learning are situated in sociocultural contexts. After discussing findings in relation to previous research, this dissertation closes by identifying contributions to and implications for theory and research; methodology and measurement; and teaching and learning; as well as limitations and future directions.

It takes advantage of the improved performances of the spectrograph CRIRES+ operating at the ESO Very Large telescope, in the near-infrared domain. Due to the complex evolutionary history of the Milky Way, a variety of relics tracing different phenomena is expected to populate the Bulge: globular clusters formed in-situ or accreted from outside the Galaxy, nuclear star clusters of cannibalized structures, and possibly a few remnants of the proto-bulge formation process (the so-called ``bulge fossil fragments"). The signatures of the different origins are imprinted in the chemical properties of these stellar systems because specific abundance patterns provide authentic "chemical DNA" tests univocally tracing the enrichment process and, therefore, the environment where the stellar population formed. Thus, each system can provide a new piece of information on the bulge formation and evolutionary history. As first results of the survey, here we discuss the alpha-element and iron abundances of a sample of stars observed in the stellar system Liller 1, which is proposed to be a bulge fossil fragment. By combining this dataset with a recently published sample of high/mid-resolution spectra, we discuss the overall chemical properties of the stellar populations in Liller1, proving its link with the Galactic bulge and providing new constraints on its star formation history.

description: We have investigated the low temperature specific heat properties as a function of magnetic field in the strongly correlated layered cobalt oxide [BiBa$_{0.66}$K$_{0.36}$O$_2$]CoO$_2$. These measurements reveal two kinds of magnetic field dependent contributions in qualitative agreement with the presence of a previously inferred magnetic Quantum Critical Point (QCP). First, the coefficient of the low temperature T$^3$ behavior of the specific heat turns out to sizeably decrease near a magnetic field consistent with the critical value reported in a recent paper. In addition, a moderate but significant enhancement of the Sommerfeld coefficient is found in the vicinity of the QCP suggesting a slight increase of the electronic effective mass. This result contrasts with the divergent behavior of the previously reported Pauli susceptibility. Thus, a strongly enhanced Wilson ratio is deduced, suggesting efficient ferromagnetic fluctuations in the Fermi liquid regime which could explain the unusual magnetic field dependent specific heat. As a strong check, the high magnetic field Wilson ratio asymptotically recovers the universal limit of the local Fermi liquid against ferromagnetism.

description: The discovery of electric field induced bandgap opening in bilayer graphene opens new door for making semiconducting graphene without aggressive size scaling or using expensive substrates. However, bilayer graphene samples have been limited to um size scale thus far, and synthesis of wafer scale bilayer graphene posts tremendous challenge. Here we report homogeneous bilayer graphene films over at least 2 inch x 2 inch area, synthesized by chemical vapor deposition on copper foil and subsequently transferred to arbitrary substrates. The bilayer nature of graphene film is verified by Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Importantly, spatially resolved Raman spectroscopy confirms a bilayer coverage of over 99%. The homogeneity of the film is further supported by electrical transport measurements on dual-gate bilayer graphene transistors, in which bandgap opening is observed in 98% of the devices.

description: s clopidogrel is being increasingly used, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) associated with clopidogrel are expected to increase. We assessed the prevalence and clinical characteristics of of ICH with clopidogrel in a consecutive series of patients in two hospitals.
Methods:
We retrospectively reviewed the medication history of 204 patients (112 in one hospital and 92 in another – both individually consecutive) admitted with ICH. We identified the patients who were using clopidogrel prior to ICH occurrence. The etiology of the ICH was categorized on the basis of clinical history and diagnostic imaging, and outcome was subsequently evaluated.
Results:
A total of 8 (4%) of the 204 patients were using clopidogrel prior to onset of ICH. Clopidogrel was the only medication in 3 patients and was used with aspirin or warfarin in 3 and 2 patients, respectively. Aspirin or warfarin was the only medication in 23 (%) and 14 (%) patients associated with ICH, respectively. The hematoma was located in the basal ganglia (n=2), lobes (n=2), thalamus (n=1), intraventricular (n=2), and cerebellar (n=2). One patient had secondary intraventricular extension. All patients using a combination of clopidogrel and warfarin prior to ICH died.
Conclusion:
The prevalence of ICH associated with clopidogrel is approximating the prevalence of aspirin- or warfarin-associated ICH. The mortality with clopidogrel related ICH appears to be high particularly when in combination with another antithrombotic agent.

description: In this thesis we consider the problem of the dynamic fluid-structure interaction between a finite elastic structure and the acoustic field in an unbounded fluid-filled exterior domain. We formulate the exterior acoustic problem as an integral equation over the structure surface. However, the classical boundary integral equation formulations of this problem do not have unique solutions at certain characteristic frequencies (which depend on the surface) and it is necessary to employ modified boundary integral equation formulations which are valid for all frequencies. The modified integral equation formulation used here involves certain arbitrary parameters and we shall study the effect of these parameters on the stability and accuracy of the numerical methods used to solve the integral equation. We then couple the boundary element analysis of the exterior acoustic problem with a finite element analysis of the elastic structure to investigate the interaction between the structure and the acoustic field. Recently there has been some controversy over whether or not the coupled problem suffers from the non-uniqueness problems associated with the classical integral equation formulations of the exterior acoustic problem. We resolve this question by demonstrating that the solution to the coupled problem is not unique at the characteristic frequencies and that we need to employ an integral equation formulation valid for all frequencies. We discuss the accuracy of our numerical results for both the acoustic problem and the coupled problem, for a number of axisymmetric and fully three-dimensional problems. Finally, we apply our method to the problem of a piezoelectric sonar transducer transmitting an acoustic signal in water, and observe reasonable agreement between our theoretical predictions and some experimental results.

description: Advancements in VLBI instrumentation, driven by the geodetic community's goal of achieving positioning accuracy of 1 mm and stability of 0.1 mm/y, have led to the development of new broadband systems. Here, we assess the potential of these new capabilities for space weather monitoring. These enhanced VLBI capabilities were used to investigate interplanetary scintillation (IPS), a phenomenon caused by the scattering of radio waves due to density irregularities in the solar wind. Compact radio sources near the Sun were observed using the AuScope VLBI array in Australia, which consists of 12-meter telescopes at Hobart, Katherine, and Yarragadee. The baseline lengths between these telescopes are approximately 3400 km (Hobart-Katherine), 3200 km (Hobart-Yarragadee), and 2400 km (Katherine-Yarragadee). The observations covered solar elongations from 6.5$^\circ$ to 11.3$^\circ$ and frequencies between 3 and 13 GHz. The study focused on phase scintillation as an indicator of turbulence in the solar wind. As the solar elongation decreased, we observed an increase in the phase scintillation index, consistent with theoretical models. Importantly, the broadband system also detected IPS using relatively weak radio sources. Additionally, the phase scintillation increased with baseline length, in agreement with Kolmogorov turbulence with an index of 11/3. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of geodetic broadband VLBI in capturing detailed features of the solar wind. This capability enables continuous space weather monitoring and advances our understanding of solar and interplanetary dynamics.

Méritocratie et mobilité sociale : une reflexion sur la pédagogie

description: Souvent décrit comme le moment d’éclatement de la société d’ordres, le discours de 1789 défend l’idée d’égalité et instaure la notion de mérite. La nuit du 4 août marque l’abolition des privilèges de la noblesse, la nationalisation des biens de l’Église, celle du clergé. Le discours révolutionnaire prône l’égalité entre les hommes, en les faisant naître et demeurer libres et égaux en droit, et cela, de quelque origine qu’ils soient. En adoptant la loi Le Chapelier, en juin 1791, la Constituante entend mettre fin aux privilèges corporatistes, et aux actions des groupes de pression au sein même de l’Assemblée, instaurant ainsi une égalité entre tous et par là même une certaine idée de la société et des valeurs socio-politiques. Si l’adoption du texte nuit aux lobbies, tels que celui des planteurs dominicains, il pose aussi la question des rapports à l’intérieur des corps de métier dans une société hiérarchisée et structurée autours des solidarités corporatives, des solidarités communales, municipales et territoriales médiévales, comme l’illustre l’utilisation et la survivance des « biens communaux » et le passage du « bien banal », propriété du seigneur à disposition d’usage de la communauté, au « bien national », induisant un changement d’échelle des communs et une distorsion, par l’éloignement, du lien social.
