« À travers son oeuvre » : tendances typologiques dans les Capsules linguistiques de Guy Bertrand
Creators: name: Moniuk, Deborah
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Guy Bertrand's « Capsules linguistiques » are broadcast daily on Radio-Canada. Each « Capsule » contains a French word or expression Bertrand considers erroneous or incorrectly used. Reviewing the literature, I found that although Bertrand is a public figure, studies of his work remain scarce. Furthermore, the transcriptions of the Capsules in published form were neither organized by theme nor by type of judgment, and contain a general bibliography rather than systematic citations. In this study, I sought to address these problems by reorganizing the prescriptive and descriptive information contained in Bertrand's work. The corpus consisted of 19 expressions employing the preposition « à », in order to analyze both lexical « errors » and syntactic « errors ». Next, I compared this information to findings in dictionaries (notably, Le Petit Robert 2014 and Le Dictionnaire québécois-français by Lionel Meney) as well as to other linguistic publications in order to also include the following: origin, etymology, semantic changes over time, other related expressions and any judgments on acceptability or register. To synthesize my findings, I established categories to answer the question of what types of errors were recurrent in our corpus. My synthesis regrouped these categories into four themes: judgments on structure; vocabulary; prescriptive or descriptive approaches; language registers. While I had predicted the presence of judgments on the influence of English and archaic terms, I had not expected the rejection of specialized terms extended to general use. Furthermore, Bertrand accepts regionalisms but generally relegates them to the familiar or popular registers. I also observed that Bertrand rejected changes to idiomatic expressions. These trends reflect a censorship of figures of speech in the standard register. For future study, it would be interesting to see which categories remain prevalent in an extended corpus of Capsules. As a point of comparison, Dire, ne pas dire… from the Académie Française website would provide insight from France. Finally, an acceptability or grammaticality judgment study with native speakers of French would provide insight as to whether the proposed alternatives reflect popular norms.

Self-Adaptive Data Quality Frameworks with Continuous Learning Mechanisms
Creators: name: Raghavender Maddali
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Self-adaptive systems (SAS) are of interest in software engineering because they can automatically adapt their behavior to meet dynamic changes in the environment and changing requirements. SAS utilize adaptive architectures, machine learning, and control-based methods to provide end-to-end quality assurance while solving trade-offs among several quality attributes like performance, security, reliability, and scalability. Several methods such as feature-oriented adaptation, runtime learning, and stability-oriented methods have been suggested for enhancing the resilience and confidence of self-adaptive systems. The literature on self-adaptive systems offers methods such as continuous assurances, learning-driven validation frameworks, and real-time adaptive controllers for maximizing system performance as well as dependability. In addition to this, self-adaptive cloud autoscaling systems are also essential for dynamically regulating computation resources in cloud computing systems. Despite such progress, problems like handling uncertainty, verification at runtime, and governance of adaptation strategies continue. This article offers an introduction to major advances in the domain of SAS by focusing on the role of frameworks, taxonomies, and applied cases and the potential of various frameworks in areas of cloud computing, virtual reality, and service-oriented architectures. Some of the avenues for further research include increasing context-awareness, optimizing adaptive decision-making, and incorporating AI-based techniques toward smarter and active adaptation mechanisms.

Performance of impressionist visualizations on measures of recognition and trend identification
Creators: name: Kozik, Pavel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Experimental aesthetics, one of the oldest branches of research psychology, empirically examines what elements of an image associate with beauty and preference. Drawing on this research the current paper hypothesizes that by applying the painterly techniques of impressionist era artists a modern applied problem of information visualization may be addressed, namely how to create effective and aesthetically pleasing depictions of data. To do so a series of weather maps obtained from the International Panel of Climate Change were rendered into four data visualization styles: industry standard glyphs, and three impressionism inspired styles titled interpretational complexity, indication and detail, and visual complexity. Two separate experiments were then conducted, each aimed at testing a key feature of effective data visualization, image recognition and the ability to communicate data trends. The first experiment found visual complexity visualizations to be comparable to glyphs on a new-old recognition task, and better than the styles interpretational complexity, and indication and detail. The second experiment found that visual complexity visualizations were more effective than glyphs at depicting and communicating data trends to the viewer. Incidental eye tracking data during both experiments suggests that impressionist visualizations were more engaging and aesthetically pleasing than glyphs as evident by a higher fixation count and greater pupil dilation. Individually experiments 1 and 2 demonstrate that the painterly techniques of visual complexity may be applied to create highly recognizable and communicative data visualizations. Collectively the two experiments support the broader hypothesis that by modelling the knowledge and expertise of artists we may create aesthetically pleasing and functional depictions of data. Following these results the thesis concludes with a discussion of future research and potential limitations, and how the present results relate to aesthetics research more broadly.

description: The main goal of this work consists in showing that the analytic solutions for a class of characteristic problems for the Einstein vacuum equations have an existence region larger than the one provided by the Cauchy-Kowalevski theorem due to the intrinsic hyperbolicity of the Einstein equations. To prove this result we first describe a geometric way of writing the vacuum Einstein equations for the characteristic problems we are considering, in a gauge characterized by the introduction of a double null cone foliation of the spacetime. Then we prove that the existence region for the analytic solutions can be extended to a larger region which depends only on the validity of the apriori estimates for the Weyl equations, associated to the "Bel-Robinson norms". In particular if the initial data are sufficiently small we show that the analytic solution is global. Before showing how to extend the existence region we describe the same result in the case of the Burger equation, which, even if much simpler, nevertheless requires analogous logical steps required for the general proof. Due to length of this work, in this paper we mainly concentrate on the definition of the gauge we use and on writing in a "geometric" way the Einstein equations, then we show how the Cauchy-Kowalevski theorem is adapted to the characteristic problem for the Einstein equations and we describe how the existence region can be extended in the case of the Burger equation. Finally we describe the structure of the extension proof in the case of the Einstein equations. The technical parts of this last result is the content of a second paper.

description: Recently, we have discovered an error in our Monte-Carlo spectral fitting routine, more specifically where the errors on the fluxes were rescaled to get a reduced chi2 of 1. The rescaled errors were too big, resulting in too wide a range of good fits in our 100 step Monte-Carlo routine. This problem affects Figs. 7-9 and Tables A.1, A.2 in Gielen et al. (2008), Table 3 in Gielen et al. (2009a), and Table 4 in Gielen et al. (2009b). We corrected for this error and present the new values and errors in the tables below. The new values and errors nearly all fall within the old error range. Our best chi2 values and overall former scientific results are not affected. With these new errors some possible new trends in the dust parameters might be observed. These will be discussed in an upcoming paper where we extend the sample presented in Gielen et al. (2008) with newly obtained SPITZER-IRS data.

Destination Arctic : bureaucracy, tourism, and identity in Canada
Creators: name: Sutherland, Colin Robert
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The framing of the Canadian Arctic by federal civil servants often bound to currents in discourse that frames the Arctic as: ‘open for business,’ a remote wilderness filled with threats and risk, and a region that needs to be governed by the Canadian South. It is through policy and its enactment by civil servants that these southern-Arctics are built and projected onto The North. Through discursive analysis of policy, government papers, and interviews with civil servants, this thesis explores the above themes to illustrate the cultural dimensions of Arctic policy. The project uses the expedition cruise tourism industry—which in Canada is primarily based in Nunavut—as a site of analysis. I analyze how agencies and departments interact with this industry to construct the idea of multiple Arctics, each with their own unique impact on the regions present and future. I interrogate how expertise and authority is spelled out and performed by actors to create such Arctics. Environmental transport policy is based in a southern-Canadian logic and is used as a means to control discourse and territory in the Canadian Arctic. Federal civil servants and cruise ship operators produce and perform many ‘Arctics’ that allow Southerners to control the Arctic via discourse and new technologies of power.

description: We develop a deterministic ab-initio model for the input-output relationship of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless channel, starting from the Maxwell equations combined with Ohm's Law. The main technical tools are scattering and geometric perturbation theories. The derived relationship can lead us to a deep understanding of how the propagation conditions and the coupling effects between the elements of multiple-element arrays affect the properties of a MIMO channel, e.g. its capacity and its number of degrees of freedom.

description: We study the temperature dependence of the effective bag constant, the mass, and the radius of a nucleon in the formalism of the simple global color symmetry model in the Dyson-Schwinger equation approach of QCD with a Gaussian-type effective gluon propagator. We obtain that, as the temperature is lower than a critical value, the effective bag constant and the mass decrease and the radius increases with the temperature increasing. As the critical temperature is reached, the effective bag constant and the mass vanish and the radius tends to infinity. At the same time, the chiral quark condensate disappears. These phenomena indicate that the deconfinement and the chiral symmetry restoration phase transitions can take place at high temperature. The dependence of the critical temperature on the interaction strength parameter in the effective gluon propagator of the approach is given.

Sulfate, nitrate and selenium reduction in mining wastewater brine using anaerobic bacteria
Creators: name: Liu, Jinshu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The mining industry is a water usage intensive industry that generates large volumes of wastewater. This wastewater is technically difficult to treat when it is very saline. Large quantities of reagents are needed for chemical treatment, which is very expensive. The current thesis explores the possibility of using anaerobic bacteria to treat highly saline wastewater, as an alternative and more cost effective technology. Specifically, the concentrations of sulfate, nitrate and selenium were monitored, as these are constituents of concern at many mine sites. Samples of brine at different stages of a reverse osmosis treatment process were received from a mining company. Growth media for anaerobic bacteria were made according to the concentrations of chemicals present in the bine samples with certain amendments. Three sediment samples collected from different mine environments were tested as inocula for the experiment. Three growth conditions were also designed in order to determine the best suitable treatment conditions: condition #1 contains additional ammonia and iron salt as nutrients, condition #2 has only additional iron salt as nutrient and condition #3 has only zero-valent iron as an alternative additional iron source. DNA samples were extracted from culture sediments and analyzed using qPCR. Based on the results obtained, it was found that different combinations of inocula and growth condition were suitable for removing the most amount of sulfate, nitrate or selenium separately. In order to remove all three constituents at the same time, the best treatment was using inoculum collected from Mount Polley and adding only iron (II) chloride salt as nutrient besides carbon sources (condition #2).
Species colonization and extinction processes in an island bird community
Creators: name: Johnson, Kate Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Species invasion and range shifts are widely reported and facilitate novel interactions among potential competitors in plant and animal communities worldwide. However, predicting which novel interactions will result in the extirpation of subordinate competitors is challenging. Coexistence versus extinction as alternative outcomes of competition between resident and colonizing species may arise due to (1) variation in interaction strength, (2) change in other demographic drivers more influential than those linked to competition, or (3) differences in the extent to which resources are equitably partitioned between competitors, which may in turn depend on the spatial scale examined. To date, however, empirical studies suggest these factors rarely align to cause the competitive exclusion of native species. I used a combination of field experiments and demographic analyses to test the hypothesis that colonizing fox sparrows (Passerella iliaca) have caused the 0.6% per year decline of a song sparrow (Melospiza melodia) population resident on Mandarte Island, BC, Canada. Several lines of evidence indicate that interspecific competition for winter food has: a) reduced survival in juvenile song sparrows after colonization by fox sparrows in 1975, b) led to an inverse relationship between juvenile song sparrow survival and fox sparrow population size, c) excluded song sparrows from high-quality foraging sites in winter via consistent behavioural dominance by fox sparrows and complete overlap of fox and song sparrow preference for local seeds, despite d) no evidence of competition for breeding territories or nesting habitat. My results suggest that in the absence of rapid ecological or evolutionary shifts in niche dimension, song sparrows will likely be extirpated from Mandarte Is., thus demonstrating that competitive exclusion of native species can occur when interactions are strong and resources are not easily partitioned.

description: The observed dark matter phenomenon is attributed to the presence of a gas of wormholes. We show that due to topological polarization effects the background density of baryons generates non-vanishing values for wormhole rest masses. We infer basic formulas for the scattering section between baryons and wormholes and equations of motion. Such equations are then used for the kinetic and hydrodynamic description of the gas of wormholes. In the Newtonian approximation we consider the behavior of density perturbations and show that at very large distances wormholes behave exactly like heavy non-baryon particles, thus reproducing all features of CDM models. At smaller scales (at galaxies) wormholes strongly interact with baryons and cure the problem of cusps. We also show that collisions of wormholes and baryons lead to some additional damping of the Jeans instability in baryons.
Practical Statistics for the Voids Between Galaxies

description: The voids between galaxies are identified with the volumes of the Poisson Voronoi tessellation. Two new survival functions for the apparent radii of voids are derived. The sectional normalized area of the Poisson Voronoi tessellation is modelled by the Kiang function and by the exponential function. Two new survival functions with equivalent sectional radius are therefore derived; they represent an alternative to the survival function of voids between galaxies as given by the self-similar distribution. The spatial appearance of slices of the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey is simulated.

Outside art : Baggat and the history of modern and contemporary art in Korea
Creators: name: Choi, Jean Kyung
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The Baggat Art Group formed in South Korea in 1981 and continued until today. It is a loosely formed collective dedicated to participatory practices in the outdoors and site-specific works, depending on the years in question. This thesis aims to rethink the significance of the Baggat Art Group through the lens of "ritual," as theorized by the anthropologist Victor W. Turner. The project is structured around a long historical introduction and two case studies: Exhibition of History and Environment in 1997 and Abandoned Island, Mountain of Healing in 2002. These two exhibitions demonstrate instances when Baggat Art, positioned at the margins of the art field and society, functioned as a site of negotiation for sociopolitical issues. I propose that an observation of how the Baggat Art Group has continued to rewrite itself into dominant narratives of art allows for a more comprehensive understanding of modern and contemporary art in South Korea. This project therefore adopts and attempts to support the group's objective of incorporating what is outside into the inside, transcending the limitations of existing boundaries, and to expanding the category of art by realizing what resides at its borders.

Research design and effect size : a meta-analysis of mood disorder experimental trials
Creators: name: Dhaliwal, Lesley
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The design of experimental studies can have a significant influence on effect size; however, this influence is rarely given enough consideration during the interpretation and comparison of research results. This paper examines whether there is a significant difference between the effect sizes from placebo-controlled versus treatment-controlled trials. This issue was studied by conducting a meta-analysis of approximately 37 RCTs of mood disorder therapies. The results of this methodological investigation confirmed that there is a statistically significant difference between the weighted effect sizes from the two groups of studies that were compared. These results support the claim that the type of control group is an important factor to consider in the design and interpretation of experimental studies. This analysis is a methodological contribution as it addresses how the type of control group in a RCT impacts the outcome of a study, and more specifically the effect size. The outcome of this research also challenges the effectiveness of treatments that have been tested against only one type of control in experimental studies.

description: We investigated the S-doping-driven phase transition from antiferromagnetic to superconducting in FeTe1-xSx single crystals. The partial substitution of Te by S suppresses antiferromagnetism in Fe-square lattice. Superconductivity is induced by oxygen annealing for only FeTe1-xSx in which the long-range magnetic ordering is suppressed. To realize superconductivity in FeTe1-xSx, both S concentration enough to suppress antiferromagnetism and oxygen annealing are required. Anisotropy of superconductivity in oxygen-annealed FeTe0.886S0.114 was estimated to be 1.17.

Rereading the city : race, space, and mobility in post 9/11 New York
Creators: name: Dinat, Deena
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: This thesis examines the way in which the racialized immigrant engages with the modern global city in two recent novels: Joseph O’Neill’s Netherland (2008) and Teju Cole’s Open City (2011). Both texts take post-9/11 New York City as a landscape that focalizes concerns of mobility, race, and the city. I argue that these novels suggest that the ways in which the racialized immigrant interact with the city are shaped by different forms of mobility, and that these reveal different possibilities for a critique of the city as a site of modernity. It is argued that while Netherland ultimately affirms a conservative understanding of race in the post-9/11 city, Open City focuses on a moral ambiguity that allows for a radical critique of the metropole through its engagement with race, history, and the flaneur.

description: Forensic applications like criminal investigations, terrorist identification and National security issues require a strong fingerprint data base and efficient identification system. In this paper we propose DWT based Fingerprint Recognition using Non Minutiae (DWTFR) algorithm. Fingerprint image is decomposed into multi resolution sub bands of LL, LH, HL and HH by applying 3 level DWT. The Dominant local orientation angle θ and Coherence are computed on LL band only. The Centre Area Features and Edge Parameters are determined on each DWT level by considering all four sub bands. The comparison of test fingerprint with database fingerprint is decided based on the Euclidean Distance of all the features. It is observed that the values of FAR, FRR and TSR are improved compared to the existing algorithm.

Examining the role of appearance ideal internalization and body image concerns on women's experiences of cognitive distraction during sex and sexual desire
Creators: name: Zelichowska, Joanna
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Existing research grounded in objectification theory has demonstrated links between the internalization of sociocultural appearance ideals, body image concerns, and problems with sexual functioning and satisfaction for women in Western cultures. However, less is known about how these constructs impact women’s experiences of distraction during sex and sexual desire. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of multiple facets of appearance ideal internalization and body image concerns in predicting women’s experiences of sexual desire and distracting thoughts during partnered sexual activity. One hundred and thirty four adult women from Vancouver and the Lower Mainland participated in an online survey and completed measures of thin ideal internalization, weight bias internalization, body shape concerns, body esteem (sexual attractiveness, weight concern, physical condition), sexual desire, and appearance and performance-based distraction during sexual activity. Correlations supported previous research findings demonstrating links among appearance ideal internalization, body image concerns, and cognitive distraction during sex, with the exception of sexual desire, which was not associated with cognitive distraction during sex. As hypothesized, regression analyses revealed that appearance ideal internalization and body shape concerns uniquely predicted appearance and performance-based distractions during sex. Specifically, weight bias internalization, body shape and weights concerns, and low self-perceived sexual attractiveness emerged as the strongest predictors. Finally, results indicated that sexual desire was not predicted by body image concerns, appearance ideal internalization, or cognitive distraction during sex. Findings are discussed in the context of current literature.

Signature of pseudogap formation in the density of states of underdoped cuprates

description: The resonating valence bond spin liquid model for the underdoped cuprates has as an essential element, the emergence of a pseudogap. This new energy scale introduces asymmetry in the quasiparticle density of states because it is associated with the antiferromagnetic Brillouin zone. By contrast, superconductivity develops on the Fermi surface and this largely restores the particle-hole symmetry for energies below the superconducting energy gap scale. In the highly underdoped regime, these two scales can be separately identified in the density of states and also partial density of states for each fixed angle in the Brillouin zone. From the total density of states, we find that the pseudogap energy scale manifests itself differently as a function of doping for positive and negative bias. Furthermore, we find evidence from recent scanning tunneling spectroscopy data for asymmetry in the positive and negative bias of the extracted $Δ(θ)$ which is in qualitative agreement with this model. Likewise, the slope of the linear low energy density of states is nearly constant in the underdoped regime while it increases significantly with overdoping in agreement with the data.
