description: Context. The photolysis of hydrogenated amorphous carbon, a-C(:H), dust by UV photon-irradiation in the laboratory leads to the release of H2 as well as other molecules and radicals. This same process is also likely to be important in the interstellar medium. Aims. To investigate molecule formation arising from the photo-dissociatively-driven, regenerative processing of a-C(:H) dust. Methods. We explore the mechanism of a-C(:H) grain photolysis leading to the formation of H2 and other molecules/radicals. Results. The rate constant for the photon-driven formation of H2 from a-C(:H) grains is estimated to be 2x10^-17 cm^3 s^-1. In intense radiation fields photon-driven grain decomposition will lead to fragmentation into daughter species rather than H2 formation. Conclusions. The cyclic re-structuring of arophatic a-C(:H) nano-particles appears to be a viable route to formation of H2 for low to moderate radiation field intensities (1 < G_0 < 10^2), even when the dust is warm (T ~ 50 - 100 K).

description: We investigate properties of BaFe2As2 (122) single crystals upon gold doping, which is the transition metal with the highest atomic weight. The Au substitution into the FeAs-planes of 122 crystal structure (Au-122) is only possible up to a small amount of ~3%. We find that 5d is more effective in reducing magnetism in 122 than its counter 3d Cu, and this relates to superconductivity. We provide evidence of short-range magnetic fluctuations and local-lattice inhomogeneities that may prevent strong percolative superconductivity in Ba(Fe1-xAux)2As2.

description: Thrombosis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Animal models are used to understand the pathological pathways involved in thrombosis and to test the efficacy and safety of new antithrombotic drugs. In this review, we will first describe the central role a variety of animal models of thrombosis and hemostasis has played in the development of new antiplatelet and anticoagulant drugs. These include the widely used P2Y12 antagonists and the recently developed orally available anticoagulants that directly target factor Xa or thrombin. Next, we will describe the new players, such as polyphosphate, neutrophil extracellular traps, and microparticles, which have been shown to contribute to thrombosis in mouse models, particularly venous thrombosis models. Other mouse studies have demonstrated roles for the factor XIIa and factor XIa in thrombosis. This has spurred the development of strategies to reduce their levels or activities as a new approach for preventing thrombosis. Finally, we will discuss the emergence of zebrafish as a model to study thrombosis and its potential use in the discovery of novel factors involved in thrombosis and hemostasis. Animal models of thrombosis from zebrafish to nonhuman primates are vital in identifying pathological pathways of thrombosis that can be safely targeted with a minimal effect on hemostasis. Future studies should focus on understanding the different triggers of thrombosis and the best drugs to prevent each type of thrombotic event.

description: Vascular tubulogenesis is essential to cardiovascular development. Within initial vascular cords of endothelial cells (ECs), apical membranes are established and become cleared of cell-cell junctions, thereby allowing continuous central lumens to open. Rasip1 is required for apical junction clearance, as well as for regulation of Rho GTPase activity. However, it remains unknown how activities of different Rho GTPases are coordinated by Rasip1 to direct tubulogenesis.

The ${^3{\rm He}}(α,γ){^7{\rm Be}}$ astrophysical $S$ factors agree reasonably well with the experimental data while the ${^3{\rm H}}(α,γ){^7{\rm Li}}$ ones are overestimated. The seven-nucleon bound and resonance states and the $α+{^3{\rm He}}/{^3{\rm H}}$ elastic scattering are also studied and compared with experiment. The low-lying resonance properties are rather well reproduced by our approach. At low energies, the $s$-wave phase shift, which is non-resonant, is overestimated.

Beliaev damping of the Goldstone mode in atomic Fermi superfluids

description: Beliaev damping in a superfluid is the decay of a collective excitation into two lower frequency collective excitations; it represents the only decay mode for a bosonic collective excitation in a superfluid at T = 0. The standard treatment for this decay assumes a linear spectrum, which in turn implies that the final state momenta must be collinear to the initial state. We extend this treatment, showing that the inclusion of a gradient term in the Hamiltonian yields a realistic spectrum for the bosonic excitations; we then derive a formula for the decay rate of such excitations, and show that even moderate nonlinearities in the spectrum can yield substantial deviations from the standard result. We apply our result to an attractive Fermi gas in the BCS-BEC crossover: here the low-energy bosonic collective excitations are density oscillations driven by the phase of the pairing order field. These collective excitations, which are gapless modes as a consequence of the Goldstone mechanism, have a spectrum which is well established both theoretically and experimentally, and whose linewidth, we show, is determined at low temperatures by the Beliaev decay mechanism.

Entropy of the information retrieved from black holes
Creators: name: Mersini-Houghton, Laura
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: The retrieval of black hole information was recently presented in two interesting proposals in the 'Hawking Radiation' conference: a revised version by G. 't Hooft of a proposal he initially suggested 20 years ago and, a new proposal by S. Hawking. Both proposals address the problem of black hole information loss at the classical level and derive an expression for the scattering matrix. The former uses gravitation back reaction of incoming particles that imprints its information on the outgoing modes. The latter uses supertranslation symmetry of horizons to relate a phase delay of the outgoing wave packet compared to their incoming wave partners. The difficulty in both proposals is that the entropy obtained from them appears to be infinite. By including quantum effects into the Hawking and 't Hooft's proposals, I show that a subtlety arising from the inescapable measurement process, the Quantum Zeno Effect, not only tames divergences but it actually recovers the correct \(1/4\) of the area Bekenstein-Hawking entropy law of black holes.

Changes in intense tropical cyclone activity for the western North Pacific during the last decades derived from a regional climate model simulation

description: An atmospheric regional climate model (CCLM) was employed to dynamically downscale atmospheric reanalyses (NCEP/NCAR 1, ERA 40) over the western North Pacific and South East Asia. This approach is used for the first time to reconstruct a tropical cyclone climatology, which extends beyond the satellite era and serves as an alternative data set for inhomogeneous observation-derived records (Best Track Data sets). The simulated TC climatology skillfully reproduces observations of the recent decades (1978–2010), including spatial patterns, frequency, lifetime, trends, variability on interannual and decadal time scales and their association with the large-scale circulation patterns. These skills, facilitated here with the spectral nudging method, seem to be a prerequisite to understand the factors determining spatio-temporal variability of TC activity over the western North Pacific. Long-term trends (1948–2011 and 1959–2001) in both simulations show a strong increase of intense tropical cyclone activity. This contrasts with pronounced multidecadal variations found in observations. The discrepancy may partly originate from temporal inhomogeneities in atmospheric reanalyses and Best Track Data, which affect both the model-based and observational-based trends. An adjustment, which removes the simulated upward trend, reduces the apparent discrepancy. Ultimately, our observational and modeling analysis suggests an important contribution of multi-decadal fluctuations in the TC activity during the last six decades. Nevertheless, due to the uncertainties associated with the inconsistencies and quality changes of those data sets, we call for special caution when reconstructing long-term TC statistics either from atmospheric reanalyses or Best Track Data.

description: We determined the magnetic B-T phase diagram of PdFe bilayer on Ir(111) surface by performing Monte Carlo and spin dynamics simulations based on an effective classical spin model. The parameters of the spin model were determined by ab initio methods. At low temperatures we found three types of ordered phases, while at higher temperatures, below the completely disordered paramagnetic phase, a large region of the phase diagram is associated with a fluctuation-disordered phase. Within the applied model, this state is characterized by the presence of skyrmions with finite lifetime. According to the simulations, this lifetime follows the Arrhenius law as a function of temperature.

Country-specific effects of climate variability on human migration
Creators: name: Gray, Clark
name: Wise, Erika
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Involuntary human migration is among the social outcomes of greatest concern in the current era of global climate change. Responding to this concern, a growing number of studies have investigated the consequences of short to medium-term climate variability for human migration using demographic and econometric approaches. These studies have provided important insights, but at the same time have been significantly limited by lack of expertise in the use of climate data, access to cross-national data on migration, and attention to model specification. To address these limitations, we link data on internal and international migration over a 6-year period from 9,812 origin households in Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Burkina Faso and Senegal to high-resolution gridded climate data from both station and satellite sources. Analyses of these data using several plausible specifications reveal that climate variability has country-specific effects on migration: Migration tends to increase with temperature anomalies in Uganda, tends to decrease with temperature anomalies in Kenya and Burkina Faso, and shows no consistent relationship with temperature in Nigeria and Senegal. Consistent with previous studies, precipitation shows weak and inconsistent relationships with migration across countries. These results challenge generalizing narratives that foresee a consistent migratory response to climate change across the globe.

description: A recent report that sulfur hydride under pressure is an electron-phonon superconductor with a Tc of 190 K has been met with much excitement although it is yet to be confirmed. Based on several electron-phonon spectral density functions already available from density functional theory, we find that the electron-phonon spectrum is near optimum for Tc with a particularly large value of its characteristic phonon energy omega_ln which is due to the small hydrogen mass. We find that the thermodynamic universal BCS ratios are near those for Pb and Nb3Sn. We suggest that optical measurements could be a useful tool to establish the existence and nature of the superconductivity in this system. Conventional superconductors are in the impurity-dominated dirty limit. By contrast sulfur hydride will be in the clean limit because of its large energy gap scale. The AC optical conductivity will display distinct and separate signatures of the superconducting gap in the low-energy impurity-dominated range of the optical spectrum and additional phonon structures at higher energies where the clean limit applies.

description: Biomarker variability, which includes within-individual variability (CVI), between-individual variability (CVG) and methodological variability (CVP+A) is an important determinant of our ability to detect biomarker-disease associations. Estimates of CVI and CVG may be population specific and little data exists on biomarker variability in diverse Hispanic populations. Hence, we evaluated all 3 components of biomarker variability in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) using repeat blood collections (n=58) and duplicate blood measurements (n = 761 – 929 depending on the biomarker).

In the model yeast S. cerevisiae the small GTPase Rho5, a homologue of the well studied human Rac1, mediates the response to both low and high medium osmolarity (CWI- and HOG-pathway, respectively), oxidative stress and nutrient availability. Here the roles of its homologue KlRho5, from the diary yeast Kluyveromyces lactis, in these and other signalling pathways were assessed. First, in silico analyses including sequence alignments were employed to identify the homologues of RHO5 and the genes encoding the subunits of its dimeric GEF, DCK1 and LMO1, in the K. lactis genome. Upon cloning and heterologous expression, KlRHO5 complemented the phenotypes of a Scrho5 deletion. Deletion mutants in either of the three genes altered their sensitivities to oxidative and cell wall stress conditions. Moreover, KlRho5 and its bipartite GEF KlDck1/KlLmo1 showed similar intracellular distributions as their S. cerevisiae counterparts. Thus both oxidative stress and glucose starvation caused a rapid translocation of the proteins to the mitochondria. A novel function for KlRho5 was discovered in the regulation of cytokinesis, as deletion mutants displayed protruding bud scars, aberrant primary septa and a thickened cell wall. KlCdc42, another protein of the same small GTPase subfamily, participates in yeast bud site selection and was found to largely complement the morphological defects of Klrho5 deletions, indicating overlapping functions. KlCd42 also shares the rapid translocation to mitochondria under oxidative stress. Thus, KlRho5 was found to regulate oxidative stress response, adaption to glucose starvation and cytokinesis. Whereas the first two functions are apparently shared with its homologue in S. cerevisiae, the latter seems to be specific for K. lactis

description: Planning for Bird Habitat Protection: BC Guidelines for Local Governments, Developers and Planners is a research report completed as the research portion of my major project completed as part of my Master of Community Planning at Vancouver Island University. Throughout the completion of this research for my major project, I consulted with local government staff members, developers and non-profit representatives. In combination with academic reference material, fieldwork and the application of my background in land use planning, environmental management and ornithology I developed a framework that supported the creation of my draft guidebook Planning for Bird Habitat Protection: BC Guidelines for Local Governments, Developers and Planners. This work was created as a Planning Practice Guidebook which distilled the key findings from the research to lay out specific recommendations for managing distinct habitat types in local government jurisdiction to benefit community environmental sustainability through maintenance of healthy avian habitats. The Research Report contains the background material that underlies the completion of this project to provide guidelines for effective urban sustainability advancement through excellent management of avian habitat.

description: The lithium ion battery (LIB) has proven to be a very reliably used system to store electrical energy, for either mobile or stationary applications. Among others, TiO2-based anodes are the most attractive candidates for building safe and durable lithium ion batteries with high energy density. A variety of TiO2 nanostructures has been thoroughly investigated as anodes in LIBs, e.g., nanoparticles, nanorods, nanoneedles, nanowires, and nanotubes discussed either in their pure form or in composites. In this review, we present the recent developments and breakthroughs demonstrated to synthesize safe, high power, and low cost nanostructured titania-based anodes. The reader is provided with an in-depth review of well-oriented TiO2-based nanotubes fabricated by anodic oxidation. Other strategies for modification of TiO2-based anodes with other elements or materials are also highlighted in this report.
Walkability on Vancouver Island: The implications for small towns and rural communities

description: Most studies of walkability focus on large urban centres. This paper works to fill the gap in the study of walkability principles and applies them to small towns, and rural communities. Drawing from smart growth and new urbanist ideas, walkability is affected by density, destinations, distance, and design (the 4Ds); each of which affects people’s choice to walk. Rural communities and small towns generally lack one of more of the 4 Ds, creating an inability to fully achieve the status of walkable communities as would be found in more urban places. In addition, rural communities are often part of a collection of communities that make up a region of small places. Each has its unique character and influences that guide development in the node. A focus on creating walkability in these nodal areas makes sense for small communities, and will enable people to park once and use the pedestrian infrastructure to reach multiple destinations within each node. Through an extensive literature review and a series of site visits, the findings are that walkability is a relevant field of study for small communities despite the implied weaknesses in density and distance.

Consumer attitudes and behavior: the theory of planned behavior applied to food consumption decisions
Creators: name: Ajzen, Icek
Publisher: name: Italian Review of Agricultural Economics
Year: 2016

description: The author compares the multi-attribute and subjective expected utility (SEU) models popular in research on consumer behavior to the approach offered by the theory of planed behavior (TPB). Unlike the multi-attribute and SEU models, the TPB relies not on revealed preferences to infer the underlying decision process but instead on direct assessment of its theoretical constructs. According to the theory, the consumer’s behavior is a function of intention to perform the behavior in question; the intention is based on attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control with respect to the behavior; and these factors are determined, respectively, by behavioral, normative, and control beliefs. The theory allows us to predict intentions and behavior with respect to the purchase or use of a single brand or product as well as in relation to choice among different brands or products.

Subjects: subject: Students, Foreign
subject: Postsecondary education

description: International students in Canada are a growing industry that is impacting our communities. Canada is considered a safe and affordable country to attend post-secondary institutes and institutions. While over half of the international students in Canada plan to apply for permeant residence in Canada (Adamoski, 2015) cost of living and quality of life play an increasing role in location and post-secondary choices. British Columbia’s (BC’s) mild climate and varied terrain offers a draw for foreigners entering post-secondary studies. Most of this group gravitates towards the mainland and southwest regions, but recent increases in the cost of living will likely see this migration shift to smaller communities. Among other provinces and territories, BC has a vested interest in retaining Canadian-trained students in order to develop a healthy economy. In BC, international students are encouraged to remain in their communities of study and become contributing members of society. BC recognizes the economic value in retaining these educated graduates and encouraging them to become permanent residents. Provincial pathways to immigration guide this group through multiple immigration plans according to need and intention. In order to retain Canadian-trained international students, BC has developed a number of immigration pathways to immigration to meet the diverse needs of this group. The purpose of this Major Project is to connect international students to their BC communities and assist with providing relevant employment opportunities by providing an online toolkit as a resource to develop personal pathways to employment. Educators and prospective employers are also encouraged to use this toolkit to educate themselves and support international, Canadian-trained student in their intentions to remain in BC.

La diffusione dell’autoconsumo nelle imprese agricole
Creators: name: Ascione, Elisa
Publisher: name: Italian Review of Agricultural Economics
Year: 2016

description: In this paper we analyse the evolution of self-consumption in Italian farms over the past ten years. The self-consumption is the value of production that is not directed to the market but only to the consumption of the farmer and his family. Using the information collected by the Italian FADN between 2003-2012, the study analyses the structural characteristics, production and economic and dynamics of income of farms with self-consumption. The work verifies the extent of income diversification and product differentiation strategies adopted by this kind of farms. The results of analysis confirm the growing trend of farms with self-consumption. The self-consumption has spread not only among micro farms, but also between companies adopting traditional and income diversification strategies. Referred to this group of farms, the economic performance confirms the contribution of the self-consumption to the stability of farm income.

description: Immigration has become a central socio-political issue in most advanced democracies. While research mainly focuses on immigrant-specific policies in the area of immigration, integration and citizenship, we still know very little about the incorporation of immigrants into mainstream social policies. By analysing crossnational differences in the inclusion of immigrants into general social protection across 27 rich democracies on the basis of comparative indicators from the Migrant Integration Policy Index (MIPEX) dataset, we seek to address this gap in a quantitative study. A cross-national comparison of these indicators shows a particularly large variation in the inclusiveness of the access to social protection for immigrants across countries. By drawing on the welfare state and integration regime literature, we assess the power of two contrasting perspectives, namely, the post-national welfare state and the welfare chauvinism models, in explaining this large cross-national variation in immigrants’ access to social security and social housing. Our overall findings suggest that both the welfare chauvinist and the post-national welfare state models comprise two theoretical perspectives that turn out to be fruitful to interpret cross-national variation in immigrants’ access to social protection. According to the welfare chauvinism model, we find robust evidence that left-wing cabinets are particularly reluctant to open general social protection schemes to immigrants. By contrast and in line with expectations derived from the post-national welfare state model, countries with an overall generous welfare state and countries facing large immigration flows tend to provide immigrants with more generous access to social protection.
