description: A four compartment model of the cardiovascular system is developed. To allow for easy interpretation and to minimise the number of parameters, an effort was made to keep the model as simple as possible. Using a standard method (Matlab function fminsearch) to calculate the parameter values led to unacceptable run times or non-convergence. Consequently we developed an algorithm which first finds the most important model parameters and uses these as a basis for a four stage process which accurately determines all parameter values. This process is then applied to data from three ICU patients. Good agreement between the model and measured arterial pressure is demonstrated in all cases.
Interpreting gentrification : postindustrial, postpatriarchal, postmodern?
Creators: name: Mills, Caroline Ann
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The topic of gentrification is employed to carry through an argument about the theorization of geographical phenomena. The thesis argues for the revival of a critical cultural geography, in conjunction with the currently dominant perspectives on economic and social change in the geography of restructuring. Applying the realist perspective on gentrification as a chaotic conception, a critical appraisal is made of the conventional production-oriented and consumption-oriented approaches to explaining gentrification. The "production of gentrifiers" approach, which seeks to overcome their conceptual divisions, offers a base for further work. Three levels for examinating gentrification are proposed. First, gentrification is viewed as a conjuncture of contingent social processes. The structuration of class and gender under conditions of socioeconomic restructuring is called upon to explain changing patterns of residential choice, employing the heuristic of postindustrial class relations and postpatriarchal gender relations. An extensive statistical analysis at the urban-system scale describes the pattern of incidence of gentrification between 22 Canadian Census Metropolitan Areas. High levels of gentrification are found to occur in urban contexts indicative of the presence of a postindustrial mode of class relations and a postpatriarchal mode of gender relations. At the second level of investigation, gentrification is treated as a context for the negotiation of social conduct. An intensive ethnographic methodology is applied in one Vancouver neighbourhood, drawing upon resident interviews. "Thick Description" draws out the strategies by which gentrifiers respond to changing socioeconomic conditions. Gentrification itself is an environmental tactic allowing them to construct workable and satisfying styles of life. The geographic context enables a complex articulation of domestic life with the public realm of work. At the third level, which has been neglected elsewhere in the literature, gentrification is investigated as a constituent in the construction of social identity. The emergent meaning of the inner city is examined, especially with respect to gentrifiers' images of "the urban". Drawing upon the literature on landscape as text, a third heuristic—the postmodern— explores the inner city as a terrain of meaning, and the interactions of textual communities of landscape "producers" and "consumers".

description: We describe the hardwired implementation of algorithms for Monte Carlo simulations of a large class of spin models. We have implemented these algorithms as VHDL codes and we have mapped them onto a dedicated processor based on a large FPGA device. The measured performance on one such processor is comparable to O(100) carefully programmed high-end PCs: it turns out to be even better for some selected spin models. We describe here codes that we are currently executing on the IANUS massively parallel FPGA-based system.

description: Utrzymanie wysokiej bioróżnorodności w krajobrazie produkcyjnym jest kluczowe dla jego ochrony.
Duże stare drzewa są kluczowym elementem struktury nadającej wartość ekologiczną pastwisku. Drzewo, w którym powstają dziuple, starzeje się kora i schną pędy, będąc samemu dziedzictwem biologicznym i ekologicznym, oferuje jednocześnie siedlisko wielu innym organizmom żywym.
Stare drzewa mogą również posiadać duże znaczenie społeczno-kulturowe, np. wyrażając tożsamość obszaru wiejskiego czy będąc ważnym miejscem z punktu widzenia organizacji wydarzeń kulturowych i turystyki.
Duże stare drzewa znikają z krajobrazu produkcyjnego, w tym również z pastwisk, ponieważ nie istnieją przepisy nakazujące ich ochronę, zarówno w polityce rolnej, leśnej, jak i ochrony zasobów środowiskowych.
Kluczem do zachowania starych drzew w krajobrazie pastwisk leśnych jest uznanie w pełni ich materialnych i niematerialnych wartości, zarówno przez lokalne społeczności, jak i uznanie ich formalnie w przepisach dotyczących rolnictwa, leśnictwa i ochrony środowiska.

description: Recent $p_{\rm T}$-integrated cross section measurements of the ground-state charm mesons and baryons, D$^{\rm 0}$, D$^+$, D$_{\rm s}^{+}$, $Λ_{\rm c}^{+}$, and $Ξ_{\rm c}^0$, are used to evaluate the charm fragmentation fractions and production cross section per unit of rapidity at midrapidity ($|y|<0.5$), in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 5.02$ TeV at the LHC. The latter is ${\rm d} σ^{\rm c \overline{c}}/{\rm d} y|_{|y| < 0.5}$ =1165 $\pm 44(\rm{stat})^{+134}_{-101}(\rm{syst})$ $μb$. These measurements were obtained for the first time in hadronic collisions at the LHC including the charm baryon states, recently measured by ALICE at midrapidity. The charm fragmentation fractions differ significantly from the values measured in e$^+$e$^-$ and ep collisions, providing evidence of the dependence of the parton-to-hadron fragmentation fractions on the collision system, indicating that the assumption of their universality is not supported by the measured cross sections. An increase of a factor of about 3.3 for the fragmentation fraction for the $Λ_{\rm c}^{+}$ with a significance of $5\,σ$ between the values obtained in pp collisions and those obtained in e$^+$e$^-$ (ep) collisions is reported. The fragmentation fraction for the $Ξ_{\rm c}^0$ was obtained for the first time in any collision system. The measured fragmentation fractions were used to update the $\rm c \overline{c}$ cross sections per unit of rapidity at $|y|<0.5$ at $\sqrt{s} = 2.76$ and 7 TeV, which are about 40% higher than the previously published results. The data were compared with perturbative-QCD calculations and lie at the upper edge of the theoretical bands.

Adolescents with cancer : their experience living with a chronic illness
Creators: name: Rechner, Mona Gale
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This phenomenologic study was designed to understand and describe the experiences of adolescents with cancer living with a chronic illness. The study was conducted with a sample of five adolescents, aged thirteen to seventeen who had received or were receiving treatments for cancer. Data were collected during audio-taped interviews and were analyzed for common themes. The findings revealed that the adolescents' overall goal was to get on with life. The teenagers responded to cancer by experiencing the illness and determining that they were normal. They developed a philosophy of being positive and redefined their social world in order to get on with life. Understanding the manner in which adolescents with cancer experience living with this illness may enable health care practitioners to provide appropriate care to the teenager with cancer. Implications for practice, research and education are discussed.

Nadmiar osadu przynoszonego przez wodę wykorzystywany był do podniesienia terenu. Sadzenie drzew na wałach ziemnych wykształciło niewielki system rolno-leśny, obftujący w różnorodność biologiczną.
W ciągu ostatnich 30 lat, te dawne systemy rowów melioracyjnych uległy degradacji, skutkującej nawrotem powodzi i wodą stojącą na terenach zalewowych. Woda stojąca, w przeciwieństwie do powodziowej, jest alkaliczna i uboga

description: Parmi la riche littérature sur le thème du soutien social, l’approche de notre mémoire repose sur l’étude de son lien avec les perceptions de compétence scolaires et les émotions des élèves du degré primaire. Pour cela, nous avions prédit que le soutien social des personnes significatives (parents et enseignants) devrait être corrélé avec les perceptions de compétence scolaire, dans la mesure où les attitudes des autres fournissent une source d'information concernant la valeur d'une personne et que cela influencerait les émotions d’accomplissement. Pour la partie portant sur les émotions, nous avons prédit que le soutien parental perçu influençait positivement les émotions relatives au résultat, telle que l’anxiété qui émane d’un échec, tandis que le soutien perçu de l’enseignant influençait positivement les émotions relatives à l’activité, telles que le plaisir et l’ennui. Pour vérifier nos hypothèses nous avions mobilisé deux modèles d’échelles préconçues. L’échelle du soutien social de Harter (1999), nous a permis de mesurer le degré du soutien parental et enseignant perçu par les élèves et les perceptions de compétence. L’échelle des émotions de Pekrun (2011), quant à elle, nous a permis de mesurer le degré d’anxiété, de plaisir et d’ennui ressenti en contexte de classe, des devoirs et des évaluations. A la vue de nos objectifs, nos résultats montrent que c’est le soutien parental qui agit significativement sur les perceptions de compétence scolaires des élèves. Du côté des émotions, nos hypothèses sont validées. C’est bien le soutien parental perçu qui influence positivement l’anxiété ressentie en regard à un résultat, et c’est bien le soutien enseignant perçu qui influence positivement le plaisir et l’ennui en regard à l’activité.

description: The promotion of health and economic status in all over the world resulted in increasing the older population. It`s expected, at least 40% of the population over 75 years, need extensive health care services in the last parts of their lives. The rate of transferring the older people to the nursing home is increasing in Iran too. Understanding elder`s emotional experiences is important for living in nursing home and understanding why this relocation causes that elder views it as "final sign of failure" is important, because this perceptions and fears have negative effects on elder`s adaptation in countering with this challenge. This study aimed to describe emotional experiences of older people living in nursing homes. The qualitative phenomenological approach and purposive sampling amongst residents in private and governmental nursing homes in Esfahan city was applied. Sampling continued till data saturation, resulting sample size became 10 participants. The data was collected with in-depth interviews and field notes. Colaizzi`s method was used for data analysis and the rigor was based on transferability and credibility. Three themes were extracted from the data (structural components of experience), including: Residents` emotional experiences in nursing home life, Residents` emotional experiences at the entrance in nursing home and Feeling of powerlessness. In this study, older people have shown various emotions to relocation and residency in nursing homes. Older people, with different context and different history in their life, had unique experiences. In addition, it is essential to pay attention to social, financial, mental, spiritual and physical needs of older people as a holistic care, because concerning only physical needs of older people cannot lend to promote hopeful, meaningful and purposive life for them.

description: Investigating the polarization of weak bosons provides an important probe of the scalar and gauge sector of the Standard Model. This can be done in the Higgs decay to four leptons, whose Standard-Model leading-order amplitude enables to generate polarized observables from unpolarized ones via a fully-differential reweighting method. We study the Z-boson polarization from the decay of a Higgs boson produced in association with two jets, both in the gluon-fusion and in the vector-boson fusion channel. We also address the possibility of extending the results of this work to higher orders in perturbation theory.

description: We address questions that arise if a slurry containing liquid water is enclosed in a ball of hot viscous vesicular magma ejected as a bomb in the context of a Surtseyan eruption. We derive a mathematical model for transient changes in temperature and pressure due to flashing of liquid water to vapour inside the bomb. The magnitude of the transient pressure changes that are typically generated are calculated together with their dependence on material properties. A single criterion to determine whether the bomb will fragment as a result of the pressure changes is derived. Timescales for ejection of water vapour from a bomb that remains intact are also revealed.

description: Bottomonium states are key probes for experimental studies of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) created in high-energy nuclear collisions. Theoretical models of bottomonium productions in high-energy nuclear collisions rely on the in-medium interactions between the bottom and antibottom quarks. The latter can be characterized by the temperature ($T$) dependent potential, with real ($V_R(T,r)$) and imaginary ($V_I(T,r)$) parts, as a function of the spatial separation ($r$). Recently, the masses and thermal widths of up to $3S$ and $2P$ bottomonium states in QGP were calculated using lattice quantum chromodynamics (LQCD). Starting from these LQCD results and through a novel application of deep neural network, here, we obtain $V_R(T,r)$ and $V_I(T,r)$ in a model-independent fashion. The temperature dependence of $V_R(T,r)$ was found to be very mild between $T\approx0-334$~MeV. For $T=151-334$~MeV, $V_I(T,r)$ shows a rapid increase with $T$ and $r$, which is much larger than the perturbation-theory-based expectations.

Measurement of the radiative neutron capture cross section of 206Pb and its astrophysical implications

Year: 2007

description: The (n, gamma) cross section of 206Pb has been measured at the CERN n_TOF facility with high resolution in the energy range from 1 eV to 600 keV by using two optimized C6D6 detectors. In the investigated energy interval about 130 resonances could be observed, from which 61 had enough statistics to be reliably analyzed via the R-matrix analysis code SAMMY. Experimental uncertainties were minimized, in particular with respect to (i) angular distribution effects of the prompt capture gamma-rays, and to (ii) the TOF-dependent background due to sample-scattered neutrons. Other background components were addressed by background measurements with an enriched 208Pb sample. The effect of the lower energy cutoff in the pulse height spectra of the C6D6 detectors was carefully corrected via Monte Carlo simulations. Compared to previous 206Pb values, the Maxwellian averaged capture cross sections derived from these data are about 20% and 9% lower at thermal energies of 5 keV and 30 keV, respectively. These new results have a direct impact on the s-process abundance of 206Pb, which represents an important test for the interpretation of the cosmic clock based on the decay of 238U.

Enriching effects of Salmon farms in British Columbian coastal waters and the influence of flushing and seasonality
Creators: name: Korman, Joshua
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Water samples at two salmon farms of diametrically opposed flushing characteristics in the Discovery Passage area were collected during the summer of 1988 at increasing distances downstream from the culture operations. The main objectives were to determine if salmon farms in this region are leading to elevated concentrations of total ammonia and dissolved organic carbon in the vicinities of the farms, resulting in higher concentrations of phytoplankton and bacteria. Elevated surface total ammonia levels were observed in the immediate areas of the sites (i.e. < 10 m) at both locations, although the frequency of occurrence and the magnitude of the enrichment were greater at the area experiencing a weaker flushing regime. Chlorophyll a concentrations within the pens also appeared slightly higher compared to downstream levels during parts of the summer. The culture operations did not appear to have any effect on dissolved organic carbon and bacterial concentrations in the surrounding waters. The ability to detect elevated levels of ammonium in the vicinity of fish farms was shown to be influenced by ambient levels of nutrients and phytoplankton biomass. The rapid reduction of ammonium concentrations within 25 m downstream of the culture facilities suggests that declines in water quality resulting from fish farming activity in this area seems unlikely. The findings of this study should be viewed as preliminary in nature given the limited size of the sampling program employed.

description: Population of a phononic mode coupled to a single-electron transistor in the sequential tunneling regime is discussed for the experimentally realistic case of intermediate electron-phonon coupling. Features like a sub-Poissonian bosonic distribution are found in regimes where electron transport drives the oscillator strongly out of equilibrium with only few phonon states selectively populated. The electron Fano factor is compared to fluctuations in the phonon distribution, showing that all possible combinations of sub- and super-Poissonian character can be realized.

description: The Community Scholars Program (CSP) is a unique initiative of the Simon Fraser University Library (SFU) that provides free academic research access for 500 participants working in community and non-profit organizations across British Columbia. The CSP was created to address the lack of access to research publications outside of the academic community by removing barriers to research journal articles, providing training and support to program participants, and creating research impact for public benefit. The program provides not only access to published research though a specialized portal but also research training, technical support and curated consulting. This lightening presentation argues that expanding the CSP model to more jurisdictions would allow for targeted public research access, improve research literacy, and further knowledge mobilization of scholarly published research resulting in a more sustainable model for knowledge creation that includes communities.

description: We consider the noncommutative extension of Chern-Simons theory. We show the the theory can be fully expanded in power series of the noncommutative parameter theta and that no non-analytical sector exists. The theory appears to be unstable under radiative corrections, but we show that the infinite set of instabilities, to all orders in \hbar and in theta, is confined to a BRS exact cocycle. We show also that the theory is anomaly free. The quantum theory cannot be written in terms of the Groenewald-Moyal star product, and hence doubts arise on the interpretation of the noncommutative nature of the underlying spacetime. Nonetheless, the deformed theory is well defined as a quantum field theory, and the beta function of the Chern-Simons coupling constant vanishes, as in the ordinary Chern-Simons theory.

jak czynniki genetyczne czy jakość siedliska). Wszystkie wady pokroju drzewa powinny być skorygowane natychmiast po ich uwidocznieniu. Wczesne, umiarkowane i stopniowe formowanie drzew jest konieczne, by zwiększyć sztywność
pnia, zapewnić jego prostą budowę, a co za tym idzie, produkcję wysokiej jakości drewna. Prace interwencyjne powinny zostać przeprowadzone w odpowiednim czasie z zastosowaniem odpowiednich narzędzi.

description: Using first principles calculations, we study the microscopic origin of ferroelectricity (FE) induced by magnetic order in the orthorhombic HoMnO3. We obtain the largest ferroelectric polarization observed in the whole class of improper magnetic ferroelectrics to date. We find that the two proposed mechanisms for FE in multiferroics, lattice- and electronic-based, are simultaneously active in this compound: a large portion of the ferroelectric polarization arises due to quantum-mechanical effects of electron orbital polarization, in addition to the conventional polar atomic displacements. An interesting mechanism for switching the magnetoelectric domains by an electric field via a 180-degree coherent rotation of Mn spins is also proposed.

Theory of Ultrasonic Dispersion in Local Phonon Systems Coupled with Conduction Electrons

description: The physical origin of frequency dependence in elastic constants, which are often found in an ultrasound propagation in filled skutterudites and clathrate compounds, is investigated theoretically. This dependence arises from a coupling between the acoustic phonon and some optical phonons, which strongly interact with electrons. Using a self-consistent ladder approximation together with a pseudofermion mapping of the phonon to the single site Holstein Anderson model, a soft mode of the optical phonon at zero frequency is shown to emerge. The temperature dependence of the spectral weight of this soft mode shows an activation-type behavior, which is characterized by the optical phonon frequency. These features can generate the frequency dependence and the shoulder in the elastic constants observed in some filled skutterudites and clathrate compounds.

description: General analytic energy bounds are derived for N-boson systems governed by semirelativistic Hamiltonians of the form H=\sum_{i=1}^N \sqrt(p_i^2+m^2) + \sum_{1=i \ge generally, and we prove this for N=3, and for N=4 when m=0. The conjecture is also valid generally for the harmonic oscillator and in the nonrelativistic large-m limit. This formulation allows reductions to scaled 3- or 4-body problems, whose spectral bottoms provide energy lower bounds. The example of the ultrarelativistic linear potential is studied in detail and explicit upper- and lower-bound formulas are derived and compared with earlier bounds.

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: We present a lattice Boltzmann algorithm based on an underlying free energy that allows the simulation of the dynamics of a multicomponent system with an arbitrary number of components. The thermodynamic properties, such as the chemical potential of each component and the pressure of the overall system, are incorporated in the model. We derived a symmetrical convection diffusion equation for each component as well as the Navier Stokes equation and continuity equation for the overall system. The algorithm was verified through simulations of binary and ternary systems. The equilibrium concentrations of components of binary and ternary systems simulated with our algorithm agree well with theoretical expectations.

description: The MuSEUM collaboration is planning measurements of the ground-state hyperfine structure (HFS) of muonium at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC), Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility. The high-intensity beam that will soon be available at H-line allows for more precise measurements by one order of magnitude. We plan to conduct two staged measurements. First, we will measure the Mu-HFS in a near-zero magnetic field, and thereafter we will measure it in a strong magnetic field. We have developed two microwave cavities for this purpose. Furthermore, we evaluated systematic uncertainties from such a fluctuation of microwave fields and confirm the requirement of the microwave system, we use a microwave field distribution calculated from the finite element method.

description: The problem of lifting a preference order on a set of objects to a preference order on a family of subsets of this set is a fundamental problem with a wide variety of applications in AI. The process is often guided by axioms postulating properties the lifted order should have. Well-known impossibility results by Kannai and Peleg and by Barberà and Pattanaik tell us that some desirable axioms - namely dominance and (strict) independence - are not jointly satisfiable for any linear order on the objects if all non-empty sets of objects are to be ordered. On the other hand, if not all non-empty sets of objects are to be ordered, the axioms are jointly satisfiable for all linear orders on the objects for some families of sets. Such families are very important for applications as they allow for the use of lifted orders, for example, in combinatorial voting. In this paper, we determine the computational complexity of recognizing such families. We show that it is $Π_2^p$-complete to decide for a given family of subsets whether dominance and independence or dominance and strict independence are jointly satisfiable for all linear orders on the objects if the lifted order needs to be total. Furthermore, we show that the problem remains coNP-complete if the lifted order can be incomplete. Additionally, we show that the complexity of these problem can increase exponentially if the family of sets is not given explicitly but via a succinct domain restriction. Finally, we show that it is NP-complete to decide for family of subsets whether dominance and independence or dominance and strict independence are jointly satisfiable for at least one linear orders on the objects.

description: We report the detection of a massive (M(gas) > 5x10^9 Msun) molecular/dusty disk of 1.4kpc-size fueling the central engine of the Compact Symmetric Object (CSO) 4C31.04 based on high-resolution (0.5''--1.2'') observations done with the IRAM Plateau de Bure interferometer (PdBI). These observations allow for the first time to detect and map the continuum emission from dust at 218GHz in the disk of a CSO. The case for a massive disk is confirmed by the detection of strong HCO+(1--0) line emission and absorption. The molecular gas mass of 4C31.04 is in the range 0.5x10^10--5x10^10Msun. While the distribution and kinematics of the gas correspond roughly to those of a rotating disk, we find evidence of distortions and non-circular motions suggesting that the disk is not in a dynamically relaxed state. We discuss the implications of these results for the general understanding of the evolution of radio galaxies.

description: We combine the fixed-order evaluation of the $b\bar{b}$ sum rules with a non-relativistic effective-theory approach. The combined result for the $n$-th moment includes all terms suppressed with respect to the leading-order result by ${\cal O}(α_s^3)$ and ${\cal O}((α_s \sqrt{n})^l α_s^2)$, counting $α_s \sqrt{n} \sim 1$. When compared to experimental data, the moments thus obtained show a remarkable consistency and allow for an analysis in the whole range $1\le n\lesssim 16$.
