description: Marine heatwaves are increasingly subjecting organisms to unprecedented stressful conditions, but the biological consequences of these events are still poorly understood. Here we experimentally tested the presence of carryover effects of heatwave conditions on the larval microbiome, settlers growth rate and metamorphosis duration of the temperate sponge Crella incrustans. The microbial community of adult sponges changed significantly after ten days at 21°C. There was a relative decrease in symbiotic bacteria, and an increase in stress-associated bacteria. Sponge larvae derived from control sponges were mainly characterised by a few bacterial taxa also abundant in adults, confirming the occurrence of vertical transmission. The microbial community of sponge larvae derived from heatwave-exposed sponges showed significant increase in the endosymbiotic bacteria Rubritalea marina. Settlers derived from heatwave-exposed sponges had a greater growth rate under prolonged heatwave conditions (20 days at 21°C) compared to settlers derived from control sponges exposed to the same conditions. Moreover, settler metamorphosis was significantly delayed at 21°C. These results show, for the first time, the occurrence of heatwave-induced carryover effects across life-stages in sponges and highlight the potential role of selective vertical transmission of microbes in sponge resilience to extreme thermal events.

description: The discrimination of non-orthogonal quantum states with reduced or without errors is a fundamental task in quantum measurement theory. In this work, we investigate a quantum measurement strategy capable of discriminating two coherent states probabilistically with significantly smaller error probabilities than can be obtained using non-probabilistic state discrimination. We find that appropriate postselection of the measurement data of a photon number resolving detector can be used to discriminate two coherent states with small error probability. We compare our new receiver to an optimal intermediate measurement between minimum error discrimination and unambiguous state discrimination.

Factors affecting the efficiency of a wet type dust collector
Creators: name: Stewart, Robert Earl
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Performance tests on a wet type dust collector were made using four different test dusts to determine a relationship between dust collection efficiency, particle size and size-distribution., collector nozzle velocity, and collector geometry. Dust laden air entered the collector and impinged upon a water surface at nozzle velocities in the order of 10,000 fpm. The fraction of dust which penetrated the collector was found to fit the equation [formula omitted] π = collector penetration (100% minus efficiency) ø[subscript]g = Geometric Coefficient of Variation of the test dust [formula omitted] V = collector nozzle velocity in thousands of fpm j = [formula omitted] π was found to vary from 0.121 percent with Corundum dust to 8.68 percent with Alundum dust. The nozzle velocity range was from6840 fpm to 14,130 fpm and the range of J was from 6.85 to 27.4. Corundum dust was found to have a value of ø[subscript]g equal to 0.123 with a geometric mean diamter, [formula omitted] , of 11.9 microns while ø[subscript]g and [formula omitted] for Alundum were calculated to be 0.521 and 4.84 microns respectively. The four test dusts were sized by a sedimentation method. The Function equation fits the experimental results with an uncertainty of ± 12 percent.

These observations include the first high-resolution spectroscopic observations of extremely metal-poor stars ([Fe/H]-3.0. Our results are broadly consistent with a galaxy formation model that predicts that massive dwarf galaxies are the source of the metal-rich component ([Fe/H]>-2.5) of the MW halo, but we also suggest that the faintest known dwarfs may be the primary contributors to the metal-poor end of the MW halo metallicity distribution.

description: we define nonlinear changes of variables in Berezin integrals, assuming as new integration variables multilinear functions of the defining elements of the Grassmann algebra. We apply such a change of variables to QCD by introducing as integration variables trilinear and bilinear functions of the quark field, with the quantum numbers of the nucleon and the meson respectively, and we suggest a perturbative scheme using these functions as free states.

description: The properties of single submicron high-temperature superconductor (HTS) rings are investigated. The Little-Parks effect is observed and is accompanied by an anomalous behavior of the magnetic dependence of the resistance, which we ascribe to non-uniform vorticity (superfluid angular momentum) within the ring arms. This effect is linked to the peculiar HTS-relationship between the values of the coherence length and the London penetration depth.

On Superconformal Characters and Partition Functions in Three Dimensions

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Possible short and semi-short positive energy, unitary representations of the Osp(2N|4) superconformal group in three dimensions are discussed. Corresponding character formulae are obtained, consistent with character formulae for the SO(3,2) conformal group, revealing long multiplet decomposition at unitarity bounds in a simple way. Limits, corresponding to reduction to various Osp(2N|4) subalgebras, are taken in the characters that isolate contributions from fewer states, at a given unitarity threshold, leading to considerably simpler formulae. Via these limits, applied to partition functions, closed formulae for the generating functions for numbers of BPS operators in the free field limit of superconformal U(n)\times U(n) \N=6 Chern Simons theory and its supergravity dual are obtained in the large n limit. Partial counting of semi-short operators is performed and consistency between operator counting for the free field and supergravity limits with long multiplet decomposition rules is explicitly demonstrated. Partition functions counting certain protected scalar primary semi-short operators, and their superconformal descendants, are proposed and computed for large n. Certain chiral ring partition functions are discussed from a combinatorial perspective.

description: We describe an extension of the cosmological hydrodynamics code ENZO to include the self-consistent transport of ionizing radiation modeled in the flux-limited diffusion approximation. A novel feature of our algorithm is a coupled implicit solution of radiation transport, ionization kinetics, and gas photoheating, making the timestepping for this portion of the calculation resolution independent. The implicit system is coupled to the explicit cosmological hydrodynamics through operator splitting and solved with scalable multigrid methods. We summarize the numerical method, present a verification test on cosmological Stromgren spheres, and then apply it to the problem of cosmological hydrogen reionization.

description: The scope of this work was to show the utility of thermal analysis and calorimetric experiments to study the thermal oxidative degradation of Mediterranean scrubs. We investigated the thermal degradation of four species; DSC and TGA were used under air sweeping to record oxidative reactions in dynamic conditions. Heat released and mass loss are important data to be measured for wildland fires modelling purpose and fire hazard studies on ligno-cellulosic fuels. Around 638 and 778 K, two dominating and overlapped exothermic peaks were recorded in DSC and individualized using a experimental and numerical separation. This stage allowed obtaining the enthalpy variation of each exothermic phenomenon. As an application, we propose to classify the fuels according to the heat released and the rate constant of each reaction. TGA experiments showed under air two successive mass loss around 638 and 778 K. Both techniques are useful in order to measure ignitability, combustibility and sustainability of forest fuels.

description: Direct multi-dimensional numerical simulation is the most reliable approach for calculating the fluid dynamics and observational signatures of relativistic jets in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We present a two-dimensional relativistic hydrodynamic simulation of a GRB outflow during the afterglow phase, which uses the fifth-order weighted essentially non-oscillatory scheme and adaptive mesh refinement. Initially, the jet has a Lorentz factor of 20. We have followed its evolution up to 150 years. Using the hydrodynamic data, we calculate synchrotron radiation based upon standard afterglow models and compare our results with previous analytic work. We find that the sideways expansion of a relativistic GRB jet is a very slow process and previous analytic works have overestimated its rate. In our computed lightcurves, a very sharp jet break is seen and the post-break lightcurves are steeper than analytic predictions. We find that the jet break in GRB afterglow lightcurves is mainly caused by the missing flux when the edge of the jet is observed. The outflow becomes nonrelativistic at the end of the Blandford-McKee phase. But it is still highly nonspherical, and it takes a rather long time for it to become a spherical Sedov-von Neumann-Taylor blast wave. We find that the late-time afterglows become increasingly flatter over time. But we disagree with the common notion that there is a sudden flattening in lightcurves due to the transition into the Sedov-von Neumann-Taylor solution. We have also found that there is a bump in lightcurves at very late times ($\sim 1000$ days) due to radiation from the counter jet. We speculate that such a counter jet bump might have already been observed in GRB 980703.

The deaf and hard-of-hearing child in British Columbia
Creators: name: Sinclair, Robert Archibald
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: As the population of British Columbia and its diagnostic and educational services increase, so does the number of children known to have hearing impairment. This thesis was written to trace the development of special education for the hearing-impaired within the Province, to outline existing facilities for this education and to indicate trends in the growth of these facilities. It was written also to acknowledge the dedicated work being done in this area of education and to encourage and stimulate others to enter it. The method used has been historical and descriptive. A thorough study has been made of books, periodicals, reports and literature, together with information from correspondence and interviews. Growth of a programme of special education for the hearing-impaired is traced from the first organized class in the Province to the development of a provincial responsibility, thence to the multidiscipline or team approach. No attempt has been made to establish norms or means or to correlate various organizations' achievements with the efficiency of their staff or physical plant. Conclusions reached indicate the nucleus of a programme providing much needed services. With efficient co-ordination and thorough development this programme could compare favourably with well-organized plans outside this Province.

The first color is the 15th harmonic of a tunable titanium sapphire laser, while the second color is the fundamental laser radiation. Our method uses phase-locked high-order harmonics to determine the {\it phase} of the two-photon process by interferometry. The measurement of the two-photon ionization phase variation as a function of detuning from the resonance and intensity of the dressing field allows us to determine the intensity dependence of the transition energy.

description: Continuous small angle X-ray scttering experiments were performed on high molecular weight proteins, hemocyanins and tranferrins, with the Frascati drift chamber area detector and the diffraction camera. The detector used the time structure of Adone synchrotron radiation for operating a faster data acquisition system with real time graphics for monitoring and interpreting scattering data. The diffraction camera with the relative angular resolution Δk/k of 0.12 could measure a minimum scattering momentum k_mm of 8x10^-3   A^-1. Preliminary results obtained on lyophilized half-met hemocyanin and trasferrins indicate formation of clusters. Small angle X-ray scattering data on the native hemocyanin is an agreement with the model (a hollow cylinder) derived from electron microscopy.

description: Convection is the most important physical process that determines the structure of the envelopes of cool stars. It influences the surface radiation flux and the shape of observed spectral line profiles and is responsible for both generating and damping solar-like oscillations, among others. 3D numerical simulations of stellar surface convection have developed into a powerful tool to model and analyse the physical mechanisms operating at the surface of cool stars. This review discusses the main principles of 3D stellar atmospheres used for such applications. The requirements from stellar structure and evolution theory to use them as boundary conditions are analysed as well as the capabilities of using helio- and asteroseismology to reduce modelling uncertainties and probing the consistency and accuracy of 3D stellar atmospheres as part of this process. Simulations for the solar surface made by different teams are compared and some issues concerning the uncertainties of this modelling approach are discussed.

description: At the end of 1995, the Frascati ϕ-factory will begin delivering of the order of 500 ϕ-meson/sec. This provides a unique opportunity to study the f_0(975) in ϕ radiative decays, even for branching ratios which in some estimates could be as low as 1X10^-6. This unique, lightest scalar meson state is poorly described by current models, and more information is essential. By Monte Carlo studies we show that the smallest expected branching ratio can easily be measured in the decay f_0->π^0π^0. In decays to π^+π^-, there are backgrounds from continuum processes. Interference between one of these processes and the f0 amplitude leads to very interesting and complex patterns. A complete study of the photon spectrum from e^+e^- ->π^+π^-γ at the ϕ peak, after suppression of continuum contributions by suitable kinematics and angular cuts, can determine the sign of the ϕf_0γ coupling even for the smallest branching ratio, thus providing a totally new piece of information for the investigation of the nature of the f0. A similar study of the decay ϕ->η'γ shows that its branching ratio can be measured with very good accuracy, therefore measuring the gluon contents of light pseudoscalar mesons to high accuracy.

description: A convergence of the valence quark self-energies in the 1S, 2S, $1P_{1/2}$, $1P_{3/2}$ orbits induced by pion and gluon field configurations, is shown in the frame of a relativistic chiral quark model. It is shown that in order to reach a convergence, one needs to include contribution of the intermediate quark and anti-quark states with the total momentum up to $j=25/2$. It is argued that a restriction to the lowest mode when estimating the self-energy is not good approximation.

description: The Elman artificial neural network (ANN) (feedback connection) was used for seismic data filtering. The recurrent connection that characterizes this network offers the advantage of storing values from the previous time step to be used in the current time step. The proposed structure has the advantage of training simplicity by a back-propagation algorithm (steepest descent). Several trials were addressed on synthetic (with 10% and 50% of random and Gaussian noise) and real seismic data using respectively 10 to 30 neurons and a minimum of 60 neurons in the hidden layer. Both an iteration number up to 4000 and arrest criteria were used to obtain satisfactory performances. Application of such networks on real data shows that the filtered seismic section was efficient. Adequate cross-validation test is done to ensure the performance of network on new data sets.

description: We analyze a ~70 ksec Chandra ACIS-I exposure of the globular cluster Omega Centauri (NGC 5139). The ~17 amin x 17 amin field of view fully encompasses three core radii and almost twice the half-mass radius. We detect 180 sources to a limiting flux of ~4.3x10^-16 erg/cm^2/s (Lx = 1.2x10^30 erg/s at 4.9 kpc). After accounting for the number of active galactic nuclei and possible foreground stars, we estimate that 45-70 of the sources are cluster members. Four of the X-ray sources have previously been identified as compact accreting binaries in the cluster--three cataclysmic variables (CVs) and one quiescent neutron star. Correlating the Chandra positions with known variable stars yields eight matches, of which five are probable cluster members that are likely to be binary stars with active coronae. Extrapolating these optical identifications to the remaining unidentified X-ray source population, we estimate that 20-35 of the sources are CVs and a similar number are active binaries. This likely represents most of the CVs in the cluster, but only a small fraction of all the active binaries. We place a 2-sigma upper limit of Lx < 3x10^30 erg/s on the integrated luminosity of any additional faint, unresolved population of sources in the core. We explore the significance of these findings in the context of primordial vs. dynamical channels for CV formation. The number of CVs per unit mass in Omega Cen is at least 2-3 times lower than in the field, suggesting that primordial binaries that would otherwise lead to CVs are being destroyed in the cluster environment.

Der zweite Teil befasst sich mit Simulationsalgorithmen. Wir testen einen Algorithmus, der eine schnellere Lösung der Dirac-Gleichung verspricht. Wir analysieren die Anwendung des FETI-Algorithmus (Finite Element Tear and Interconnect) im Zusammenhang mit Gitter-QCD-Simulationen und vergleichen ihn mit anderen modernen Lösungsverfahren aus der Klasse der Domänendekompositionslösern.

We incorporate new measurements and use additional models for the chiral and continuum extrapolations to refine the result obtained in 2017 [1]. The second part focuses on simulation algorithms. We test an algorithm which promises faster solution of the Dirac equation. We analyze the application of the Finite Element Tear and Interconnect (FETI) algorithm in the context of lattice QCD simulations and compare it to other state-of-the-art domain decomposition solvers. We examine various preconditioners and their effects on the convergence of the solution.

 extremely scarce in the Slovene literature.

 Aim: The aim of this study is to illuminate the meaning of the palliative
 care family meeting for patients receiving specialist palliative care.

 Methods: A hermeneutic phenomenological approach was used to elicit the
 meaning of the palliative care family meeting for patients.
 Semi-structured interviews were conducted with palliative care patients
 who participated at the family meetings in two Slovene hospitals.
 Purposeful sampling was

 used to recruit six participants. Data were analysed with the use of the
 crafting of stories as suggested by Crowther et al. (2017) and thematic
 structural analysis as recommended by Lindseth and Norberg (2004). In the
 interpretation of the data, Crowther’s and Thomson’s (2020) outline of
 interpretation

 was used.

 Results: In the interpretation of participants’ stories four themes
 emerged. The first theme, ‘unhomelike being-in-the-world’, reveals the
 constant changes of the palliative care patients’ bodies, moods and social
 roles due to the developing disease. The second theme,
 ‘being-toward-death’, uncovers the dying of the patients’ well known way
 of life and the need for constant adaptations. The

 third theme, ‘being-with others’, reveals a constitutive role that the
 others are playing in palliative care patients’ lives. The fourth theme,
 ‘the meaning of palliative care family meeting’, uncovers the family
 meeting as a tool to address the existential needs of palliative care
 patients.

 Conclusion: This hermeneutic phenomenological study contributes to a
 deeper understanding of the meaning of the palliative care family meeting
 for patients receiving specialist palliative care in Slovenia. It provides
 insights that can inform improvements in the practice of the palliative
 care family meeting.
A Symbolic Algorithm for Computing Recursion Operators of Nonlinear PDEs

description: A recursion operator is an integro-differential operator which maps a generalized symmetry of a nonlinear PDE to a new symmetry. Therefore, the existence of a recursion operator guarantees that the PDE has infinitely many higher-order symmetries, which is a key feature of complete integrability. Completely integrable nonlinear PDEs have a bi-Hamiltonian structure and a Lax pair; they can also be solved with the inverse scattering transform and admit soliton solutions of any order. A straightforward method for the symbolic computation of polynomial recursion operators of nonlinear PDEs in (1+1) dimensions is presented. Based on conserved densities and generalized symmetries, a candidate recursion operator is built from a linear combination of scaling invariant terms with undetermined coefficients. The candidate recursion operator is substituted into its defining equation and the resulting linear system for the undetermined coefficients is solved. The method is algorithmic and is implemented in Mathematica. The resulting symbolic package PDERecursionOperator.m can be used to test the complete integrability of polynomial PDEs that can be written as nonlinear evolution equations. With PDERecursionOperator.m, recursion operators were obtained for several well-known nonlinear PDEs from mathematical physics and soliton theory.

The share system and its effects on innovation, employment and income in the British Columbia salmon fishing industry, 1951-1961
Creators: name: Midgley, Ian Harold
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This thesis has been designed to examine the share system and to study its effects on innovation, employment and income in the British Columbia salmon fishing industry. The approach taken has been that of examining the theoretical basis of the share system and then noting how the system has worked in practice. The share system has demonstrated some notable advantages over a wage system in its approach in providing an incentive for hard work and in the economizing of materials used, Against these advantages must be weighed the heavy burden of risk which is shifted from the capitalist to labour. Share fishermen are not assured that they will earn any income from a particular fishing trip and may, in fact, be forced to bear part of the losses of those ventures which fail. The share system creates a rigidity in the free movement of resources within the fishing industry by requiring that the net proceeds from fishing be divided between the crew and the vessel owner in fixed proportions. The allocation to labour of a fixed percentage of all net income results in the entrepreneur requiring a higher rate of return on his investment than would be the case if he were operating in a freely competitive market, thus in theory the share system would inhibit innovation,, The entrepreneur requires that his investment projects have a sufficient return to repay both his capital and interest after paying a share to labour. The number of licensed fishermen and fishing boats has increased annually since 1951. The opportunity of obtaining a high income which is a feature of the share system is a particular incentive which attracts new recruits into the industry. However, many fishermen fail to remain in the industry due to the low and unstable earnings they experience. The incomes of British Columbia salmon seine fishermen appear, on the average, to be below those offered in alternative occupations, though there are certainly some very high incomes earned by a few fishermen0 The increased employment both of labour and capital can, in the main part, be blamed on the common property feature of sea fisheries. The share system, though playing a part in the total industry, is not the most important variable, A solution to the difficulties that the industry faces can best be sought by changes and adjustments elsewhere.

description: Context: The atmosphere of the quiet Sun is controlled by photospheric flows sweeping up concentrations of mixed polarity magnetic field. Along supergranule boundaries and junctions, there is a strong correlation between magnetic flux and bright chromospheric and transition region emission. Aim: The aim is to investigate the relationship between photospheric flows and small flare-like brightenings seen in Extreme Ultraviolet images. Method: We describe observations of small eruptions seen in quiet Sun images taken with the Extreme UltraViolet Imager (EUVI) on STEREO. The photospheric flows during the eruption build-up phase are investigated by tracking granules in high resolution MDI continuum images. Results: Eruptions with characteristics of small coronal mass ejections (CMEs) occur at the junctions of supergranular cells. The eruptions produce brightening at the onset site, dark cloud or small filament ejections, and faint waves moving with plane-of-sky speeds up to 150 km/s. In the two examples studied, they appear to be activated by converging and rotating supergranular flows, twisting small concentrations of opposite polarity magnetic field. An estimate of the occurrence rate is about 1400 events per day over the whole Sun. One third of these events seem to be associated with waves. Typically, the waves last for about 30 min and travel a distance of 100 arcsec, so at any one time they cover 1/30th of the lower corona.

description: Based on recent COSY-11 results of measurements of total cross sections for the quasi-free pn-->pn eta reaction we determine the isospin I=0 component of the total cross section for the NN-->NN eta reaction down to the threshold. We show that the energy dependence of the total cross section ratios {σ_{I=0}(pn-->pn eta)}/{σ(pp-->pp eta)} and σ_{I=0}(pn-->pn eta)}/{σ(pn-->d eta)} can be described using the Faldt and Wilkin analitical parametrization of the nucleon-nucleon final state interaction.

description: Links in a practical network may have different functions, which makes the original network a combination of some functional subnetworks. Here, by a model of coupled oscillators, we investigate how such functional subnetworks are evolved and developed according to the network structure and dynamics. In particular, we study the case of evolutionary clustered networks in which the function of each link (either attractive or repulsive coupling) is updated by the local dynamics. It is found that, during the process of system evolution, the network is gradually stabilized into a particular form in which the attractive (repulsive) subnetwork consists only the intralinks (interlinks). Based on the properties of subnetwork evolution, we also propose a new algorithm for network partition which is distinguished by the convenient operation and fast computing speed.

description: We present the first results of a project, LSD, aimed at obtaining spatially-resolved, near-infrared spectroscopy of a complete sample of Lyman-Break Galaxies at z~3. Deep observations with adaptive optics resulted in the detection of the main optical lines, such as [OII], Hbeta and [OIII], which are used to study sizes, SFRs, morphologies, gas-phase metallicities, gas fractions and effective yields. Optical, near-IR and Spitzer/IRAC photometry is used to measure stellar mass. We obtain that morphologies are usually complex, with the presence of several peaks of emissions and companions that are not detected in broad-band images. Typical metallicities are 10-50% solar, with a strong evolution of the mass-metallicity relation from lower redshifts. Stellar masses, gas fraction, and evolutionary stages vary significantly among the galaxies, with less massive galaxies showing larger fractions of gas. In contrast with observations in the local universe, effective yields decrease with stellar mass and reach solar values at the low-mass end of the sample. This effect can be reproduced by gas infall with rates of the order of the SFRs. Outflows are present but are not needed to explain the mass-metallicity relation. We conclude that a large fraction of these galaxies are actively creating stars after major episodes of gas infall or merging.
