description: The proper estimation of accessibility is necessary to understand the issue of the urban-rural divide in access health care. The main concern with the previously developed accessibility measures is that the urban-rural continuum is treated as a dichotomous variable, while many degrees of rurality exist. While many studies attempted to include a distance decay function to address local travel patterns, it is usually arbitrary and may not exactly reflect the reality. This project is an attempt to improve the current methodology and make it more suitable for provincial settings that include various degrees of rurality. The past records of health care utilization are analyzed and distance decay coefficients are extracted for each type of urban and rural area. These coefficients are used to enhance a commonly used two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method to estimate accessibility scores. In addition, health needs and mobility measures are added to the model. The result of this enhanced methodology is compared to other methods where distance decay is used. The proposed method consistently shows better and more accurate results. The alternative methods often underestimate accessibility, especially in remote areas. The distance decay function derived from actual utilization data also allows use of this approach for large areas such as a Canadian province.

subject: second language acquisition

description: Fluency, that is spoken language that flows without interruptions or pauses, is often neglected in favor of other language components such as reading, writing, listening and speaking grammatically correctly in a language classroom. Although fluency falls under speaking skills, it is often not taught in L2 classrooms. Studies suggest a variety of exercises focused on fluency improvement but only a few of them have actually been tested. This thesis examines the effect of classroom-based fluency training on the ability of intermediate-level learners of German to produce more fluent utterances on a Picture Story description task and a monologue task. The results reveal that training did not improve learners’ fluency and that the learners performed better at the monologue than the Picture Story. Speech stream factors such as speech rate, filled non-lexical pauses, filled lexical pauses and repetitions were correlated with fluency ratings assigned by native German speakers. The results have implications for fluency teaching in L2 classrooms.

Understanding quantization: a hidden variable model

description: We argue that to solve the foundational problems of quantum theory one has to first understand what it means to quantize a classical system. We then propose a quantization method based on replacement of deterministic c-numbers by stochastically-parameterized c-numbers. Unlike canonical quantization, the method is free from operator ordering ambiguity and the resulting quantum system has a straightforward interpretation as statistical modification of ensemble of classical trajectories. We then develop measurement without wave function collapse à la pilot-wave theory and point out new testable predictions.

subject: Maternal cortisol

description: Working memory has been shown to predict future cognitive and academic outcomes, making the successful development of working memory crucial. Extensive animal literature has reported a relationship between elevated maternal cortisol in utero and poorer working memory performance in offspring, while this association has not been replicated in humans. The current study aims to investigate the effect of maternal cortisol exposure on working memory development in preschool aged children. Maternal salivary cortisol was collected over two consecutive days at three prenatal assessments. Child working memory was assessed at age 3-4 years. Results indicated that there was no association between a working memory composite score and maternal cortisol; however, the current study was underpowered. Individual subtest analyses revealed significant three-way interactions for two subtests with infant biological sex and gestational age. Future research should investigate the relationship between prenatal cortisol and working memory under varying conditions of stress in children.

description: Quantitative evaluation of financial variables plays a foundational role in financial price modeling, economic prediction, risk evaluation, portfolio management, etc. However, the problem suffers from high dimensionality. Thus, financial variables should be selected in a way to reduce the dimensionality of the financial model and make the model more efficient. In addition, it is quite common for financial datasets to contain missing data due to a variety of limitations. Consequently, in practical situations, it is difficult to choose the best subset of financial variables due to the existence of missing values. The two problems are interrelated. Therefore, the central idea in this research is to develop and examine new techniques for financial variable selection based on estimating the missing values, while accounting for all the longitudinal and latitudinal information. This research proposes a novel methodology to minimize the problem associated with missing data and find the best subset of financial variables that could be used for effective analysis. There are two major steps; the first step concentrates on estimating missing data using Bayesian updating and Kriging algorithms. The second step is to find the best subset of financial variables. In this step a novel feature subset selection is proposed (LmRMR) which ranks the financial variables and the best subset of variables is chosen by employing statistical techniques through Super Secondary Target Correlation (SSTC) measurement. Some tests have been done to demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of the ideas presented in this research. In particular, the potential application of the proposed methods in stock market trading model and stock price forecasting are studied. The experimental studies are conducted on Dow Jones Industrial Average financial variables.

description: Plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is a large cell, visible by unaided eye, which exhibits sophisticated patterns of foraging behaviour. The plasmodium's behaviour is well interpreted in terms of computation, where data are spatially extended configurations of nutrients and obstacles, and results of computation are networks of protoplasmic tubes formed by the plasmodium. In laboratory experiments and numerical simulation we show that if plasmodium of Physarum is inoculated in a maze's peripheral channel and an oat flake (source of attractants) in a the maze's central chamber then the plasmodium grows toward target oat flake and connects the flake with the site of original inoculation with a pronounced protoplasmic tube. The protoplasmic tube represents a path in the maze. The plasmodium solves maze in one pass because it is assisted by a gradient of chemo-attractants propagating from the target oat flake.

description: This thesis focuses on the operation of a compressed air energy storage (CAES) facility in an electricity market. CAES, a bulk energy storage technology, can provide time shifting due to its capability of storing large amount of energy, as well as ancillary services including spinning and non-spinning reserves due to its fast response. In order to participate effectively in electricity markets and consequently quantify the economics of CAES technology, scheduling of the CAES facility needs to be optimized considering market forecasts as well as efficiency of the components and operational characteristics. Moreover, Due to inevitable price forecasting error, effective bidding and offering strategy to purchase and sell electricity in the market is necessary to manage the risk of forecasting error. In this study, at first, a risk-constrained bidding/offering strategy for a merchant price-taker CAES providing time shifting is proposed to manage the risk of price forecasting errors. Pricetaker utility refers to a utility, which is small enough compared to the market size that its operation does not affect market price. Thereafter, since the operation of a large-scale facility in an electricity market could impact the prices, the scheduling of a merchant price-maker energy storage facility, doing energy arbitrage is proposed. In this model, the impact of storage operation on market clearing price are incorporated. As a continuation, this study proposes a bidding and offering strategy for a price-maker ES facility taking the forecasting errors into account based on the robust optimization to manage the associated risk when providing energy arbitrage. In order to maximize revenue, the potential gain from providing ancillary services (including spinning and non-spinning reserves) in addition to the energy arbitrage must be considered. In this regard, a scheduling model of a merchant CAES facility participating in day-ahead energy and reserve markets is developed. Meanwhile, the efficiency of a CAES facility deviates significantly from its nominal value depending on its thermodynamics and operational conditions. Thus, in this study, these limitations imposed on the facility are modelled as well when devising operations schedules.

description: In a previous paper [arXiv:quant-ph/9906007] Hayden and I proved, using the Heisenberg picture, that quantum physics satisfies Einstein's criterion of locality. Wallace and Timpson have argued that certain transformations of the Heisenberg- picture description of a quantum system must be regarded as leaving invariant the factual situation being described, and that taking this into account reveals that Einstein's criterion is violated after all. Here I vindicate the proof and explain some misconceptions that have led to this and other criticisms of it.

Repetitive Behaviours and Cognitive Flexibility in Children with High-Functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders
Creators: name: Jitlina, Ekaterina
Publisher: name: Graduate Studies
Year: 2012
Subjects: Educational Psychology

description: This study examined the executive dysfunction hypothesis in children with high-functioning autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). This hypothesis involves a deficit in executive functioning, and specifically suggests that the repetitive behaviours in ASDs may stem from impairment in cognitive flexibility. Participants included 21 children aged 8-12 with high-functioning ASDs. Participants demonstrated impairment in a task of perseverative responding, a type of cognitive flexibility. However, in contrast to previous studies, this sample did not show significant levels of stuck-in-set perseveration in comparison to previously normed populations. Moreover, and in contrast to adults with ASDs, no correlations were found between degree of higher-order repetitive behaviours and cognitive flexibility, and lower-order motor repetitive behaviours and simple perseverative tasks. These results have implications for the developmental understanding of executive functioning and future investigations of the relationship between executive functions and behavioural symptoms of ASD.

description: This thesis presents an attempt to model extinct plants described by fossil data. The well preserved plants of the Rhynie chert in northeast Scotland were chosen due to the amount of information available and their scientific significance. These plants are modelled with L-system techniques developed to model extant plant species. Fossil specimens of each plant species and the observations of palaeobotanists working with these fossils were used to reconstruct different stages of development of the Rhynie chert plants, and model their growth. These represent the first dynamic models of these ancient plants, since previous models have been static drawings or sculptures. Ecological information about the Rhynie chert plants is also available. This information was used to create an ecosystem model that simulates the interactions between the plants and the environment. The ecosystem model and the individual plant models were then combined into final images that represent the overall appearance of the ancient Rhynie chert.

description: The effects of an electron-phonon ($e$-ph) interaction on the thermoelectric properties of Na$_x$CoO$_2$ are analyzed. By means of dynamical mean field theory calculations we find that the $e$-ph coupling acts in a cooperative way with the disorder, enhancing the effective binary disorder potential strength on the Co sites, which stems from the presence or absence of a neighboring Na atom. Hence, the inclusion of the $e$-ph coupling allows us to assume smaller values of the binary disorder potential strength -- which for Na$_x$CoO$_2$ are in fact also more reasonable. More generally, we can conclude that the interplay between disorder effects and coupling to the lattice can be exploited to engineer more efficient thermoelectric materials.

description: The objective of this research is to investigate the effects of the reversibility of chemical reactions on the instability of reactive fluids displacements in porous media. Such instability is encountered in various fields such as engineering processes, natural phenomena and environmental systems. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of this instability is a key to enhancing the efficiencies of reversible reactive flows in porous media. The reactive displacement was modeled through a bimolecular reversible chemical reaction (BRCR), A+B → C. In addition, a mathematical model was adopted for the transport of the chemical species through the porous media. The first part of the research focuses on the horizontal displacement of a reversible reactive interface in homogeneous porous media, where the importance of the reversibility of the chemical reactions in understanding and optimizing reactive displacement processes such as heavy oil recovery as well as underground water treatment techniques was illustrated. The effects of reversibility were found to vary for different scenarios of frontal instability based on the variation of the viscosities of the chemical species. A linear stability analysis of the problem was performed for short time scales, which allowed determining the importance of the different parameters controlling the process. Furthermore, the non-linear interactions between the chemistry and the hydrodynamics were studied by performing numerical simulations. The simulation results revealed that for a particular set of parameters, reversibility can result in an enhancement of the instability of reactive flows. The research was also extended to address the influence of reversibility on the efficiency of reactive chromatographic process as well as environmental issues related to geological storage of carbon dioxide. The properties of the instability of a horizontal BRCR interface between solutions of reactant (A) on top of (B) were analyzed. The role of reversibility on the instability of reactive displacements under gravity field where densities mismatch drives the instability was also investigated. The analysis examined the effects of the reversibility where the instability of the flow is driven by the variation of both densities and viscosities of the chemical species. Here too, reversibility enhanced the instability of the flow for some cases of frontal instability.
title: Effectiveness of Chlorhexidine-Coating in Controlling Bacterial Quantity on Toothbrush Filaments

description: The purpose of this study was to determine if a significant difference exists in the effectiveness· of chlorhexidine-coated nylon brush filaments as compared to uncoated nylon filaments in reducing the quantity of bacteria. Methods: An IRB-approved, two-group, double-blind, randomized, post-test only design was conducted. Sixty-four individuals were randomly assigned to two equal groups of 32. After using the control or experimental toothbrushes for 30-days, participants returned the toothbrushes to the researchers in sealed autoclave bags. In the laboratory, microorganisms were detached from the toothbrush filaments by sonification and vortexing, then plated on both selective and non-selective media at various dilutions (10-1, 10-2 , 10-3, 10-4 and 10-5). The inoculated plates were incubated aerobically for 24 hours at 37° C. After incubation, bacterial colony-forming units (CFU) were determined for each sample, from two different media, one selective (Mitis Salivarius) and the other not (TSA Sheep Blood). Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Results: After the thirtyday trial period, 59 toothbrushes were returned; experimental group (n=31) and control group (n=28). Data reported includes only results from the l 0-3 dilution. Data from blood agar (19 control and 23 experimental) resulted in a mean CFU for control of 5.41 x 105 compared to experimental mean CFU of6.28 x 105. Data from MS agar (13 control and 23 experimental) resulted in a mean CFU for control of 4.32 x 105 compared to experimental mean CFU of 4.20 x 105. Conclusion: Results revealed there was no statistically significant difference in the numbers of bacteria surviving on the toothbrush filaments between the groups after the 30-day trial period on both blood and MS agar; however, findings only reflect the number of aerobic bacterial colony-forming units. Data cannot be generalized to include anaerobes or other fastidious bacteria, which may react differently in the presence of the antimicrobial agent. Results are only generalizable to similar populations.
Structural foundation for transcriptional regulation by Ets1 and CBP
Creators: name: Kang, Hyun-Seo
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Using cell-based assays and biophysical measurements, we have defined the mechanism by which Ras/MAP kinase signaling enhances Ets1 regulated gene expression via phosphorylation-enhanced recruitment of the transcriptional co-activator CBP. As confirmed by ³¹P/¹³C-NMR experiments, the MAP kinase ERK2 phosphorylates Thr38 and Ser41 within the unstructured region of Ets1, immediately N- terminal to the PNT domain. The NMR-derived structure of residues 29-138 of Ets1 revealed that the PNT domain is composed of a core four-helix bundle (H2-H5), also known as the SAM fold, appended with two additional helices (H0-H1). Most importantly, helix H0 is only marginally stable as shown by various NMR methods, including chemical shift, amide hydrogen exchange, and ¹⁵N relaxation analyses. Dual phosphorylation of Ets1 perturbs a "closed-open" conformational equilibrium of the PNT domain, displacing the dynamic helix H0 from the core bundle. These modifications increase the affinity of Ets1 for the TAZ1 (or CH1) domain of CBP by ~30 fold as measured with isothermal titration calorimetry (Kd ~ 60 to 2 μM). NMR-monitored titration experiments mapped the interaction surfaces of the TAZ1 domain and Ets1, the latter encompassing both the phosphoacceptors and PNT domain, also showing sensitivity to ionic strength. Charge complementarity of these surfaces indicates that electrostatic forces act in concert with the conformational equilibrium to mediate phosphorylation effects. We conclude that the dynamic helical elements of Ets1, appended to a conserved structural core, constitute a "phospho-switch" to direct Ras/MAPK signaling to downstream changes in gene expression. This detailed structural and mechanistic information illustrates an evolutionary development within a gene family to increase the capacity for biological regulation. We also discovered that the CBP TAZ1 domain associates intramolecularly with residues 28-82 in its N-terminal nuclear receptor interacting domain (NRID). NMR studies indicated that the NRID undergoes a coil-helix conformational transition upon binding the same interface on TAZ1 as recognized by many transcription factor partners. This led us to hypothesize that CBP is regulated by an auto-inhibitory mechanism. In support of this model, affinity of the hypoxia inducible factor HIF-1α for TAZ1 is reduced competitively by the presence of the NRID.

The secreted factor transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) is a potent inducer of EMT in development and cancer. The transcriptional regulator SnoN and E3 ubiquitin ligase Smurf2 control TGFβ signalling in a complex manner with implications for cancer development and progression. The focus of my doctoral studies has been to examine the nature and regulation of SnoN and Smurf2 functions in TGFβ-induced EMT. In this regard, I have characterized the role of SUMO pathway in modifying both SnoN and Smurf2, thereby regulating their roles in controlling EMT. I employed three-dimensional (3D) model systems to follow EMT in mammary epithelial cells and invasive growth behavior of breast cancer cells to increase the chance of getting results with in-vivo relevance. My studies have led to the identification of the protein TIF1γ as a novel SUMO E3 ligase that promotes SnoN sumoylation. Importantly, my data show that TIF1γ acts via SnoN sumoylation to suppress TGFβ-induced EMT in 3D-mammary epithelial cell-derived acini. Next, I found that Smurf2 suppresses EMT in 3D cultures of epithelial cells. Also, I discovered that the SUMO pathway modifies Smurf2 at specific lysine residues through the SUMO E3 ligase PIAS3. Importantly, my data suggest that sumoylation is critical for Smurf2 to suppress TGFβ-induced EMT. Mechanistically, I found that sumoylation promotes Smurf2-induced degradation of TGFβ receptors, leading to suppression of TGFβ signalling and EMT. Lastly, my latest findings suggest that the PIAS3-Smurf2 sumoylation pathway suppresses TGFβ-induced invasive growth of 3D-breast cancer cell-derived spheroids. Future studies, using a xenograft cancer model will aim to investigate role of the PIAS3-Smurf2 sumoylation pathway in tumorigenesis. Overall, our research questions have led to the identification of novel regulators of TGFβ-induced EMT and potentially breast cancer invasion and metastasis. Importantly, SUMO-based pathways promote the ability of both SnoN and Smurf2 to suppress TGFβ-induced EMT in mammary epithelial cells, with relevance to cancer cell invasion and metastasis. Our findings could help in providing potential new diagnostic or druggable targets for treatment of breast tumors.

description: Our research aims to evaluate the benefits obtained by the installation of Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) stations, an inexpensive air traffic management technology that promises a RADAR like connectivity in northwestern Canada and Pacific. The area under consideration is currently devoid of any RADAR coverage and has many important international routes flying through it. Flight data for these routes is collected from a third party website and then analyzed for ground and airborne delays. These delays rack up extra costs in the form of aircraft direct operating costs, passenger costs, extra fuel burn and carbon emissions. With the assumption that ADS-B will provide a radar like separation, the delays were monetized. Results suggest that the newly established navigational coverage can help the airline carriers save millions of dollars each year, with a big chunk of savings coming from aircraft operating costs and passenger time savings.

description: We present a novel method for combining the analog and photon-counting measurements of lidar transient recorders into reconstructed photon returns. The method takes into account the statistical properties of the two measurement modes and estimates the most likely number of arriving photons and the most likely values of acquisition parameters describing the two measurement modes. It extends and improves the standard combining ("gluing") methods and does not rely on any ad hoc definitions of the overlap region nor on any ackground subtraction methods.

Student Engagement and Institutional Type at Canadian Universities

subject: Education--Higher
subject: NSSE
subject: student engagement

description: Despite the widespread use of the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) for measuring the engagement of undergraduate university students in Canada, there is very little research exploring the survey or its use. The NSSE is a powerful tool built upon the vast post-secondary education research in the United States, which brings together the work and theories of the leading scholars of higher education. Building on the research of Astin, Pace and Chickering & Gamson, the NSSE has the potential to be a positive change-agent for faculty, administrators and staff seeking to improve post-secondary education in Canada. This study adds to the literature by exploring the effectiveness of the NSSE benchmarks for measuring engagement of first-year students in the Faculties of Biological Sciences and Arts & Humanities. Specifically, the differences in engagement among the three institutional types (primarily undergraduate, comprehensive, and medical-doctoral) in Canada are explored. This study uses ANCOVAs to identify significant differences in benchmark scores due to Faculty and institutional type. Multiple regression analyses are used to build and test models of prediction for the student outcome of grades. The analysis determined that there are statistically significant differences among the three institutional types for the Faculties of Biological Sciences and Arts & Humanities. Students attending primarily undergraduate universities reported higher levels of engagement in both Faculties. Although significant, the differences have small, and in some cases, negligible, effects. The multiple regression analyses determined that the benchmarks are poor predictors of the student outcome of grades. For each of the Faculties of Biological Sciences and Arts & Humanities, a stronger model of prediction for the student outcome of self-reported grade explains approximately 20% of the variance. The most important implications of this research are that faculty, administrators, and staff who seek to improve the undergraduate experience for first-year students in Canada should use program- or Faculty- level analyses of engagement for both measuring engagement and for targeting areas for improvement. The findings indicate that the NSSE, when used with specific groups, is a powerful change-agent that will aid improvement of the undergraduate experience and contribute to increased student learning.
