description: We live in an increasingly globalised world where citizens have no privacy, governments mimic transparency and algorithms know no borders. Global problems can be only addressed through global cooperation between citizens, governments and organisations.

In our session, during the first Japanese Government run blockchain hackathon, which was sponsored by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), in February 2019 in Tokyo, we discussed (1) how modest and persistent community efforts of Open Knowledge Ireland are helping citizens to keep their data private through education and making useful governmental data open, usable and used with advocacy.

(2) Why through our work we realised that opened up data has trust issues and can disappear at any point of time and (3) why we started to work on distributed content-addressed solution for preservation of publicly funded data, known as Data Management Hub (DaMaHub).

At DaMaHub we believe that for preservation of publicly funded (research) data we need architecture for global digital public infrastructure which provides cryptographic and institutional guarantees of persistent access to interoperable, verifiable and discoverable data to enable researchers and citizens to find data, to re-use data and to trust data they need.

description: The aim of this work was to increase the understanding and library of polypeptide nanoparticles synthesised by ring-opening mini-emulsion polymerisation of N-Carboxyanhydride amino acid monomers. Initially the conditions of the emulsion will be investigated in order to afford facile tuneability of the system. Taking inspiration from previous reports stereochemistry, nature of the amino acid polymerised and theoretical secondary structure was also examined with the aim to achieving statistical differences in size and morphology. Employing the techniques previously described any initial differences observed are to be thoroughly investigated in order to eliminate any bias encountered by one technique. Once the limitations and boundaries of the basis system are fully understood it should enable the application of functionalised amino acids to afford nanoparticles with defined core and shell functionality. It is thought that this alongside tuning of the core density through solid content and core to surfactant ratio by mass will afford a highly versatile delivery system of active compounds.

description: We report the longitudinal resistivity and Hall effect measurements on the noncentrosymmetric superconducting Mg$_{12-δ}$Ir$_{19}$B$_{16}$ samples with different critical transition temperatures. A strong temperature dependence of the Hall coefficient $R_H$ and nonlinear magnetic field dependence of the Hall resistivity $ρ_{xy}$ in wide temperature region are observed, suggesting a strong multi-band effect in this system. Moreover, a large magnetoresistance up to 20% is found at the field of 9 T. We also observe the violation of the Kohler's rule from our magnetoresistance data, further confirming the presence of multi-band effect in our samples. A detailed analysis shows that the data can't be simply described within the two-band scenario at low temperatures, so we argue that there may be more than two bands contributing to the conduction of the samples.

A sufficient condition to test identifiability of a nonlinear delayed-differential model with constant delays and multi-inputs

description: In this paper, an original result in terms of a sufficient condition to test identifiability of nonlinear delayed-differential models with constant delays and multi-inputs is given. The identifiability is studied for the linearized system and a criterion for linear systems with constant delays is provided, from which the identifiability of the original nonlinear system can be proved. This result is obtained by combining a classical identifiability result for nonlinear ordinary differential systems due to M.S. Grewal and K. Glover (1976) with the identifiability of linear delayed-differential models developed by Y. Orlov et al. (2002). This paper is a generalization of the results provided by L. Denis-Vidal, C. Jauberthie, G. Joly-Blanchard (2006), which deal with the specific case of nonlinear delayed-differential models with two delays and a single input.
ON INTERSECTIONS OF LOCAL ARTHUR PACKETS FOR CLASSICAL GROUPS

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2023
Subjects: Algebra and number theory

description: In this thesis, for symplectic and split odd special orthogonal groups over a p-adic field, we provide an extensive account of the intersection of local Arthur packets. More specifically, following Atobe's reformulation of Moeglin's construction of local Arthur packets, we give precise algorithms to determine whether a given representation lies in any local Arthur packet. Furthermore, if the representation does lie in a local Arthur packet, we give a systematic approach to determine all the other local Arthur packets which also contain the representation. These algorithms are based on certain operators which act on certain construction data coming from Atobe's parametrization of the local Arthur packets.

Towards Fully Optimized BICM Transceivers

description: Bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) transceivers often use equally spaced constellations and a random interleaver. In this paper, we propose a new BICM design, which considers hierarchical (nonequally spaced) constellations, a bit-level multiplexer, and multiple interleavers. It is shown that this new scheme increases the degrees of freedom that can be exploited in order to improve its performance. Analytical bounds on the bit error rate (BER) of the system in terms of the constellation parameters and the multiplexing rules are developed for the additive white Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and Nakagami-$m$ fading channels. These bounds are then used to design the BICM transceiver. Numerical results show that, compared to conventional BICM designs, and for a target BER of $10^{-6}$, gains up to 3 dB in the AWGN channel are obtained. For fading channels, the gains depend on the fading parameter, and reach 2 dB for a target BER of $10^{-7}$ and $m=5$.

CIRS pre-occupancy evaluation : inhabitant feedback processes and possibilities for a regenerative place
Creators: name: Reckermann, Julia Esther
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: An untypical workplace, The Centre for Interactive Research on Sustainability (CIRS) is an aspiring regenerative place with the goals to realize net-positive inhabitant psychological and physiological well-being and environmental performance in which inhabitants actively shape their experiences. As part of these aspirations, this research set out to investigate how feedback processes, such as specifically a Pre-Occupancy Evaluation, can support the navigation towards manifesting these human performance goals. This research explores inhabitants’ relationships with their Pre-CIRS workplace experiences before their move into the new place, as well as to their future experience in CIRS. More specifically, it investigates inhabitant satisfaction and interactions with controls within their previous workplace contexts as well as their associations, expectations and desires for their experiences at CIRS. Past experiences of workplaces can influence inhabitant satisfaction with, behaviours, and the emergence of desired novelty and aspirations of regenerative places. Findings reveal that inhabitants were not satisfied with certain elements of their Pre-CIRS workplaces and not very engaged in creating their experience. Sources of discontent in many cases were associated with perceived lack of control over situations to alleviate discomfort and negative affect. Whilst mental associations with CIRS appeared to reflect a heavy focus on environmental sustainability aspirations, sources of positive feelings include the physical building, the social aspirations of place, the novelty and vision, and a desire for connectedness. Although inhabitant desires are aligned with CIRS aspirations at the conceptual level, they likely go beyond past experiences of their workplaces and call for new ways of thinking, feeling, and acting to realize net-positive aspirations. Thus, it is proposed that regenerative workplaces require a new set of tools that enable a place to shift into ‘becoming’ and embodying aspirations of place. Based on the learning from this research, the regenerative literature, as well as reflections on the process itself, actions steps have been recommended in this work to realize aspirations of place.

What helps and hinders women doing well in historically male-dominated careers : a critical incident study
Creators: name: Moran, Ciara
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Women working in historically male-dominated careers experience a unique work environment. To date, some research has been conducted on this population, however most studies focus on challenges and barriers to success. Few studies have examined the women who have found success in their work in male-dominated environments. This study explored the experiences of women working in fields dominated by men and aimed to elucidate how these women understand success in their work. The enhanced critical incident technique was used to explore what factors help and hinder the success of 9 women participants working in historically male-dominated careers. Results highlight three main areas: a) the importance of supports outside of work, b) the role that attitude and self-concept has in feeling successful, and c) the relevance of a relational theory of career when working with this population. These results will serve to inform counsellors working in career, policy developers and future research.

description: The thermally activated proton diffusion in BaZr0.9Y0.1O3-δ was studied with electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (IS) and quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) in the temperature range from 300 K to 900 K. The diffusivities for the bulk material and the grain boundaries as obtained by IS obey an Arrhenius law with activation energies of 0.46 eV and 1.21 eV, respectively. The activation energies obtained by IS for the bulk are 0.26 eV above 700 K and 0.46 eV, below 700 K. The total diffusivity as obtained by IS is by one order of magnitude lower than the microscopic diffusivity as obtained by QENS. The activation energies obtained by QENS are 0.13 eV above 700 K and 0.04 eV, below 700 K. At about 700 K, the diffusion constants for IS and QENS have a remarkable crossover, suggesting two processes with different activation energies.
Innate immune response to pattern recognition receptors in infants across four continents
Creators: name: Smolen, Kinga K
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Susceptibility to infection as well as response to vaccination varies among populations. To date, the underlying mechanisms responsible for these clinical observations have not been fully delineated. Since innate immunity instructs adaptive immunity, I hypothesized that differences between populations in innate immune responses may represent a mechanistic link to variation in susceptibility to infection or response to vaccination. To determine if differences in innate immune responses exist among infants from different continents of the world, I investigated the innate cytokine production of whole blood as well as the single cell level response following pattern recognition receptor (PRR) stimulation of blood samples obtained from two-year old infants across four continents (Africa, North America, South America and Europe). I found that despite the many possible genetic and environmental exposure differences in infants between the four cohorts, whole blood cellular components of only South African children secreted significantly lower levels of most cytokines following stimulation of pattern recognition receptors (PRR) as compared to whole blood from cohorts of Ecuadorian, Belgian, or Canadian children, specifically following stimulation of extracellular- and endosomal-, but not cytosolic-PRRs. To begin dissection of the responsible molecular mechanisms, I identified the relevant cellular source of these differences. While a significant variation in the cellular composition of whole blood was found, reduction of the intracellular cytokine production on the single cell level was only detected in South African infants’ monocytes, cDC, and pDC. I also uncovered a marked reduction in polyfunctionality for each of these cell types in South African children as compared to children from other continents. Together this data indicates the existence of differences in cell composition as well as profoundly lower functional responses of innate cells in a cohort of South African children. With a difference in number and function of innate immunity in South African children identified, we can now proceed to determine the link between altered innate immunity and increased risk for infection or lower response to vaccines in South African infants.

description: Quantum criticality arises when a macroscopic phase of matter undergoes a continuous transformation at zero temperature. While the collective fluctuations at quantum-critical points are being increasingly recognized as playing an important role in a wide range of quantum materials, the nature of the underlying quantum-critical excitations remains poorly understood. Here we report in-depth measurements of the Hall effect in the heavy-fermion metal YbRh2Si2, a prototypical system for quantum criticality. We isolate a rapid crossover of the isothermal Hall coefficient clearly connected to the quantum-critical point from a smooth background contribution; the latter exists away from the quantum-critical point and is detectable through our studies only over a wide range of magnetic field. Importantly, the width of the critical crossover is proportional to temperature, which violates the predictions of conventional theory and is instead consistent with an energy over temperature, E/T, scaling of the quantum-critical single-electron fluctuation spectrum. Our results provide evidence that the quantum-dynamical scaling and a critical Kondo breakdown simultaneously operate in the same material. Correspondingly, we infer that macroscopic scale-invariant fluctuations emerge from the microscopic many-body excitations associated with a collapsing Fermi-surface. This insight is expected to be relevant to the unconventional finite-temperature behavior in a broad range of strongly correlated quantum systems.

description: The advent of high-brightness, fast-switching Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) has facilitated Visible Light Communication (VLC) as a new form of Optical Wireless Communication (OWC) over the visible light spectrum. In VLC, these LEDs serve a dual purpose of communication on top of general illumination. The biggest challenge facing VLC lies in finding the “killer application" that will propel the technology to widespread adoption. One of the ways we believe this can be achieved is by integrating VLC with pre-existing Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN) backbones. Although there has been some preliminary research in this area, specifically involving 10Base-T over VLC, none have explicitly dealt with Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) over VLC. In this thesis, we investigate the implementation of analog transmission of 100Base-TX over VLC in an amplify-and-forward approach, which we coin as Ethernet-over-Light (EoL). We present the design of a VLC transmitter and accompanying receiver developed for EoL, and include a comprehensive channel model to analyze this Ethernet-VLC link. Equalization techniques were explored to overcome the various shortcomings associated with the EoL channel, and to improve the performance of the overall system. This VLC-LAN solution proved to be a viable alternative for providing a wireless broadcast link wherever LEDs would be deployed for illumination in an indoor setting.

description: The fashion industry has a significant negative impact on the environment throughout the entire lifecycle of a product (Leal et al., 2019), resulting in it being the second-largest contributor to environmental pollution (Chaturvedi et al., 2020). In 2018, only 2.5 million tons of textiles were recycled while landfills received 11.3 tons of textiles in the United States (Environmental Protection Agency, 2022). To address these issues, the sustainable fashion movement has gained momentum, leading to an increase in second-hand shoppers (Koay et al., 2022). In 2021, the second-hand market was valued at 96 billion U.S. dollars and this value is estimated to reach 218 billion U.S. dollars by 2026 (Smith, 2022). Despite the growth of the second-hand market, there is limited research using S-O-R as the theoretical framework to investigate the external and internal factors that influence second-hand clothing consumption.
description: The purpose of this research is to investigate 1) how external environmental factors, consisting of product quality, information quality and service quality influence consumers internal emotional state and 2) how consumer perceived hedonic, utilitarian, environmental and economic values along with perceived risks affect their purchase intention and word-of-mouth. The S-O-R model serves as the theoretical foundation for this study. This theory assumes that unique environmental factors affect people’s internal feelings and emotions, which will ultimately determine their actions (Saricam, 2022). The primary data was collected on an online survey platform via. Qualtrics and Amazon Mturk. After cleaning the data, a total of 448 reliable responses were recorded.
description: This research empirically found that out of 25 hypotheses, 21 were supported, being statistically significant at p<0.05. Specifically, product quality and service quality positively affected U.S. second-hand consumers hedonic value, utilitarian value, economic value, and environmental value. Information quality only positively influenced three out of four values, hedonic, utilitarian, and environmental value. Service quality was the only external variable that had a negative relationship with perceived risk. Furthermore, all internal values positively affected consumers purchase intention while perceived risk negatively influenced purchase intention. All internal values, other than economic value, positively influenced word-of-mouth while perceived risk negatively impacted word-of-mouth.

description: We use SCUBA 850 micron and CO observations to analyze the surroundings of three Galactic ring-like HII regions, KR 7, KR 81, and KR 120 (Sh 2-124, Sh 2-165 and Sh 2-187), with the aim of finding sites of triggered star formation. We find one prominent submillimeter (sub-mm) source for each region, located at the interface between the HII region and its neutral surroundings. Using Two Micron All Sky Survey photometry, we find that the prominent sub-mm source for KR 120 probably contains an embedded cluster of young stellar objects (YSOs), making it a likely site for triggered star formation. The KR 7 sub-mm source could possibly contain embedded YSOs, while the KR 81 sub-mm source likely does not. The mass column densities for these dominant sub-mm sources fall in the ~0.1-0.6 g cm^{-2} range. The mass of the cold, dense material (clumps) seen as the three dominant sub-mm sources fall around ~100 Solar masses. We use the SCUBA Legacy catalog to characterize the populations of sub-mm sources around the HII regions, and compare them to the sources found around a previously studied similar ring-like HII region (KR 140) and near a massive star-forming region (W3). Finally, we estimate the IR luminosities of the prominent newly detected sub-mm sources and find that they are correlated with the clump mass, consistent with a previously known luminosity-mass relationship which this study shows to be valid over four orders of magnitude in mass.

description: We have searched for optical identifications for 79 Chandra X-ray sources that lie within the half-mass radius of the nearby, core-collapsed globular cluster NGC 6397, using deep Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys Wide Field Channel imaging in H-alpha, R, and B. Photometry of these images allows us to classify candidate counterparts based on color-magnitude diagram location. In addition to recovering nine previously detected cataclysmic variables (CVs), we have identified six additional faint CV candidates, a total of 42 active binaries (ABs), two millisecond pulsars (MSPs), one candidate active galactic nucleus, and one candidate interacting galaxy pair. Of the 79 sources, 69 have a plausible optical counterpart. The 15 likely and possible CVs in NGC 6397 mostly fall into two groups: a brighter group of six for which the optical emission is dominated by contributions from the secondary and accretion disk, and a fainter group of seven for which the white dwarf dominates the optical emission. There are two possible transitional objects that lie between these groups. The faintest CVs likely lie near the minimum of the CV period distribution, where an accumulation is expected. The spatial distribution of the brighter CVs is much more centrally concentrated than those of the fainter CVs and the active binaries. This may represent the result of an evolutionary process in which CVs are produced by dynamical interactions, such as exchange reactions, near the cluster center and are scattered to larger orbital radii, over their lifetimes, as they age and become fainter.

description: We examine the one loop effective potential in a recently proposed (by Chernodub et. al.) alternative approach to mass generation in the Higgs-gauge sector of the electroweak theory, which does not make use of a classical Higgs potential. We show that the interpretation given by these authors, of the Higgs boson as the conformal degree of freedom in a background conformal gravity theory, is invalidated because genuine one loop radiative effects cancel the local functional measure of the Higgs field taken to be the basis of this interpretation. Functional evaluation of the one loop effective Higgs potential leads to a minimum away from the origin, thereby providing yet another radiative mass generation scheme for weak gauge bosons. In arriving at the one loop effective potential we make use of the gauge free formulation of electrodynamics introduced by us earlier, which obviates any need for gauge fixing.

Intellectual functioning in first-episode schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder and bipolar disorder

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Intellectual functioning (IQ) prior to the onset of illness (premorbid IQ) and the pattern of its trajectory across illness onset can inform us of the early developmental pathology of mental disorders. The goals of this study were to 1) investigate these features in first-episode psychiatric patients with overlapping symptoms including schizophrenia (SZ), schizoaffective disorder (SA) and bipolar disorder (BD), as well as to 2) examine these features and the presence of psychosis, and the influence of mood-incongruent features, in BD patients. To address these objectives, SZ, SA, BD-I, and healthy controls, aged 17-37 years, were pooled from two early-intervention programs. The North American Adult Reading Test was used to estimate premorbid IQ, while the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test was used to measure current IQ. Group differences in premorbid IQ and IQ trajectories were evaluated with ANOVA and repeated measure ANOVA. Both controls and BD patients had significantly higher premorbid IQ compared to SZ patients, BD patients had scores comparable to control, and there was a strong trend of premorbid IQ deficit in SA patients. Regarding IQ change, only subjects with SA and SZ experienced significant IQ deterioration through illness onset. Regarding psychosis, t-tests deciphered a strong, although insignificant, premorbid IQ difference across BD patients, with deficits seen in psychotic but not non-psychotic patients. Lastly, t-tests revealed a significant decline in IQ across psychotic BD patients with mood-congruent, and not –incongruent, features. Secondary post-hoc analyses revealed that this finding might be attributable to the type of antipsychotic that patients received. Taken together, these results suggest that early neurodevelopmental pathology, which most likely directly affects intellectual functioning, may be different in BD than in SA and SZ. Furthermore, low premorbid IQ could be a potential risk factor for psychosis. Assessment of IQ before and after illness onset could help facilitate early identification of psychopathology and assist with patient management and care.

description: It is a broadly observed pattern that the non-recombining regions of sex-limited chromosomes (Y and W) accumulate more repeats than the rest of the genome, even in species like birds with a low genome-wide repeat content. Here, we show that in birds with highly heteromorphic sex chromosomes, the W chromosome has a transposable element (TE) density of greater than 55% compared to the genome-wide density of less than 10%, and contains over half of all full-length (thus potentially active) endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) of the entire genome. Using RNA-seq and protein mass spectrometry data, we were able to detect signatures of female-specific ERV expression. We hypothesize that the avian W chromosome acts as a refugium for active ERVs, likely leading to female-biased mutational load that may influence female physiology similar to the ‘toxic-Y’ effect in Drosophila. Furthermore, Haldane's rule predicts that the heterogametic sex has reduced fertility in hybrids. We propose that the excess of W-linked active ERVs over the rest of the genome may be an additional explanatory variable for Haldane's rule, with consequences for genetic incompatibilities between species through TE/repressor mismatches in hybrids. Together, our results suggest that the sequence content of female-specific W chromosomes can have effects far beyond sex determination and gene dosage.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Challenging the paradigm in sex chromosome evolution: empirical and theoretical insights with a focus on vertebrates (Part II)’.

description: A biclique is a set of vertices that induce a bipartite complete graph. A graph G is biclique-Helly when its family of maximal bicliques satisfies the Helly property. If every induced subgraph of G is also biclique-Helly, then G is hereditary biclique-Helly. A graph is C_4-dominated when every cycle of length 4 contains a vertex that is dominated by the vertex of the cycle that is not adjacent to it. In this paper we show that the class of hereditary biclique-Helly graphs is formed precisely by those C_4-dominated graphs that contain no triangles and no induced cycles of length either 5, or 6. Using this characterization, we develop an algorithm for recognizing hereditary biclique-Helly graphs in O(n^2+αm) time and O(m) space. (Here n, m, and α= O(m^{1/2}) are the number of vertices and edges, and the arboricity of the graph, respectively.) As a subprocedure, we show how to recognize those C_4-dominated graphs that contain no triangles in O(αm) time and O(m) space. Finally, we show how to enumerate all the maximal bicliques of a C_4-dominated graph with no triangles in O(n^2 + αm) time and O(αm) space, and we discuss how some biclique problems can be solved in O(αm) time and O(n+m) space.
