The development of Xenophon's political ideas
Creators: name: Rahn, Peter Jacob
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis traces the development of Xenophon’s political ideas from his youth to old age. Special attention is given to statements of evaluation in the Hellenica concerning events that occurred in his lifetime. The basic attitudes and ideas of his other works are analysed and fitted into the chronological framework provided by the study of the Hellenica. Then we conclude that Xenophon's ideas were not static but changed to meet the immediate needs of the Greek states. The bases upon which his ideas are founded are two attitudes that are constantly in a tension. These are, on, the one hand, an aristocratic admiration of the heroic warrior and, on the other, an attitude designated as philanthropia.

description: Die Errichtung von Anlagen zur Abwassersammlung und -entsorgung führt bisweilen zu heftigen, emotional geführten Diskussionen über die Wahl des „richtigen“ Alternative. Die Planungstheorie bietet als Hilfsmittel eine Reihe von Ansätzen, wie der Prozeß der Entscheidungsfindung nachvollziehbar gestaltet werden kann. Dazu zählen die Nutzwertanalyse und das Verfahren „ELECTRE“. Im folgenden wird eine kurze Beschreibung dieser Methoden gegeben. Weiters werden beispielhaft die Grundzüge eines offenen Planungsprozesses angeführt, der in der Lage sein könnte, die unterschiedlichen Interessen besser zu integrieren als die bekannte Vorgangsweise Vorstudie-Einreichprojekt-Detailprojekt-Realisierung.
Illusions For the Uninitiated: Traditional Special Effects in Potlatch Performances

description: Nuxalk Nation potlatch performances are multidimensional displays of supernatural mythology done through the use of traditional special effects. This is an untold story which I bring to light by reclaiming the descriptions of the secret society, the Kusiut, as recorded by anthropologist Thomas McIlwraith, and in the discussions on my own art practice. There are similarities between Nuxalk traditional cultural production and western mainstream cultural production that I investigate with my writing and my art making. I use a form of hybridization of traditional special effects and mainstream special effects in the making of contemporary ceremonial art objects that, like the masks and blankets of the Nuxalk Nation, are meant to be performed and come to life. Both forms of special effects shape the socio-political issues of their time. Nuxalk winter dances, which are generally performed and witnessed mainly by First Nations community members, have foundational special effect techniques. I discuss and elaborate on them as a woman actively engaged in reclaiming, revealing and participating in the stories of my own people through art. Nuxalk secret society performers and the magic they created reconstructed realities that could be collectivized and set precedents that while not known to European based cultures, were demanding and technically extremely disciplined. My art practice builds on that discipline from the endless hours learning specific Nuxalk traditional methods to my own engagement in the assertion of matrilineal protocols. In addition I learned extensive special effects for mask from the film industry that include malleable materials to allow performers to emote facial expressions. Through conventional research methods and traditional practices, I have fabricated hybrid works of Nuxalk art that blend ancestral aesthetics with current techniques of the special effects industry. Researching Nuxalk ancestry has provided a lens to explore possible indigenous artistic advancement in my own art while ensuring that the foundational contributions of Nuxalk traditional techniques are acknowledged. Nuxalk potlatch performances and Non-First Nations stagecraft have both mesmerized audience’s for generations. This work expands on those creative lineages weaving them together to hold space for a re-imaging of remnants from those dauntless cultural trailblazers of the Kusiut society.

Effects of Top-quark Compositeness on Higgs Boson Production at the LHC

description: Motivated by the possibility that the right-handed top-quark (t_R) is composite, we discuss the effects of dimension-six operators on the Higgs boson production at the LHC. When t_R is the only composite particle among the Standard Model (SM) particles, the (V+A)\otimes (V+A) type four-top-quark contact interaction is expected to have the largest coefficient among the dimension-six operators, according to the Naive Dimensional Analysis (NDA). We find that, to lowest order in QCD and other SM interactions, the cross section of the SM Higgs boson production via gluon fusion does not receive corrections from one insertion of the new contact interaction vertex. We also discuss the effects of other dimension-six operators whose coefficients are expected to be the second and the third largest from NDA. We find that the operator which consists of two t_R's and two SM Higgs boson doublets can recognizably change the Higgs boson production cross section from the SM prediction if the cut-off scale is \sim 1TeV.

description: How does one form a meaningful, generative understanding of the one’s surroundings in contemporary society? Currently, social media and portable electronics appear to serve widely as methods of filtering and segmenting the world around us into easily consumable portions. What is at stake in this kind of mediation and what role can visual art take in encouraging the formulation of knowledge based on primary, rather than prescribed, modes of perception? This paper examines the potential of primary experience in daily life and the hypothesis that modes of perception normally associated with the appreciation of art can be made use of in the context of daily life. Through using established methods of representation, such as painting, to reframe normally unremarkable entities as valuable art objects, the artwork discussed aims to transfer ways of looking at art into the realm of daily life. This fracturing of perceptual conventions is strengthened through the use of the index as a tool of conceptual expansion, directly connecting art objects with the subjects they represent and the processes with which they were made. Working from the pedagogical theories of Joseph Albers, and Rosalind Krauss’ writing on the index and the flatbed picture plane, this research attempts to lay a pathway for the continuation of an investigation of direct perception as a tool of knowledge production. My research is placed in relation to the work of Gerald Ferguson, Ellsworth Kelly and William Anastasi. In looking at the artwork that I have produced over the course of the Emily Carr University of Art + Design Master of Applied Art program, this document is a record of a variety of attempts to trigger the modification of customary patterns of comprehension and the generation of more intimate understandings of our immediate surroundings.

description: Quantitative estimation of subsurface water and ice content values is critical for the understanding and modeling of permafrost evolution in alpine regions. Geophysical methods permit the assessment of subsurface conditions in a noninvasive and quasi-continuous manner; in particular, the combination of seismic refraction tomography (SRT) and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) through a petrophysical model can quantitatively estimate ground water and ice content values. For the Hoher Sonnblick study area (3106 m.a.s.l., Austrian Alps), we have investigated the improved estimation of water and ice content values based on SRT, ERT, and ground-penetrating radar data collected in June and October 2019. We solve for the water and ice content values following different approaches, namely, (1) the independent inversion and subsequent transformation of the imaging results to the target parameters through a petrophysical model and (2) the petrophysical joint inversion (PJI) of the data sets. Supported by a synthetic study, we determine that the incorporation of structural and porosity constraints in PJI allows for an improved quantitative characterization of subsurface conditions. For our measurements at Hoher Sonnblick, constrained PJI resolves a shallow debris layer characterized by high air content and porosity, on top of a layer with lower porosity corresponding to fractured gneiss, and the bedrock layer with the lowest porosity. For both time steps, we find high water content at the lower end of the investigated area. Substantial variations in the subsurface ice content resolved between June and October 2019 indicate a correlation between the high water content and the meltwater discharge within the debris layer. Our results demonstrate that constrained PJI permits an improved characterization of subsurface hydrologic parameters in alpine permafrost environments.

description: Fifteen rhodamine B hydrazide hydrazone (RhBHH) derivatives (compounds a-o) with various substituent groups at different position and their photochromic property triggered by Cu2+ were studied to illustrate the structure photochromic response relationship (SPRR). Three of them (compounds f-h) with a para-position hydroxyl group and two meta-position halogen substituents display Cu2+ triggered photochromic which is significantly different from the previous reports. It was found that halogen atoms, which were generally considered to have no remarkable regulation effect, exhibited great influences on the photochromic behaviour of RhBHH derivatives. Detail photochromic properties of the developed photochromic system were revealed by using compound g as the model substrate and only Cu2+ displayed high selective trigger effect. Good reversible photochromic phenomenon was observed after stimulated with visible light irradiation and dark (or heat) bleaching consecutively. Furthermore, this photochromic system could be used in the preparation of photochromic glass, special security ink, molecular logic gate and two-dimensional code for security information storage.

description: For $m=3,4,\ldots$, the polygonal numbers of order $m$ are given by $p_m(n)=(m-2)\binom n2+n\ (n=0,1,2,\ldots)$. For positive integers $a,b,c$ and $i,j,k\ge3$ with $\max\{i,j,k\}\ge5$, we call the triple $(ap_i,bp_j,cp_k)$ universal if for any $n=0,1,2,\ldots$ there are nonnegative integers $x,y,z$ such that $n=ap_i(x)+bp_j(y)+cp_k(z)$. We show that there are only 95 candidates for universal triples (two of which are $(p_4,p_5,p_6)$ and $(p_3,p_4,p_{27})$), and conjecture that they are indeed universal triples. For many triples $(ap_i,bp_j,cp_k)$ (including $(p_3,4p_4,p_5),(p_4,p_5,p_6)$ and $(p_4,p_4,p_5)$), we prove that any nonnegative integer can be written in the form $ap_i(x)+bp_j(y)+cp_k(z)$ with $x,y,z\in\mathbb Z$. We also show some related new results on ternary quadratic forms, one of which states that any nonnegative integer $n\equiv 1\pmod{6}$ can be written in the form $x^2+3y^2+24z^2$ with $x,y,z\in\mathbb Z$. In addition, we pose several related conjectures one of which states that for any $m=3,4,\ldots$ each natural number can be expressed as $p_{m+1}(x_1)+p_{m+2}(x_2)+p_{m+3}(x_3)+r$ with $x_1,x_2,x_3\in\{0,1,2,\ldots\}$ and $r\in\{0,\ldots,m-3\}$.

description: Hytönen, McIntosh and Portal (J. Funct. Anal., 2008) proved two vector-valued generalizations of the classical Carleson embedding theorem, both of them requiring the boundedness of a new vector-valued maximal operator, and the other one also the type p property of the underlying Banach space as an assumption. We show that these conditions are also necessary for the respective embedding theorems, thereby obtaining new equivalences between analytic and geometric properties of Banach spaces.

description: Game theory is central to the understanding of competitive interactions arising in many fields, from the social and physical sciences to economics. Recently, as the definition of information is generalized to include entangled quantum systems, quantum game theory has emerged as a framework for understanding the competitive flow of quantum information. Up till now only two-player quantum games have been demonstrated. Here we report the first experiment that implements a four-player quantum Minority game over tunable four-partite entangled states encoded in the polarization of single photons. Experimental application of appropriate quantum player strategies give equilibrium payoff values well above those achievable in the classical game. These results are in excellent quantitative agreement with our theoretical analysis of the symmetric Pareto optimal strategies. Our result demonstrate for the first time how non-trivial equilibria can arise in a competitive situation involving quantum agents and pave the way for a range of quantum transaction applications.

Subjects: Painting

description: This essay traces the evolution of my practice-driven, reflexive investigation surrounding the iterative process of painting things. The body of work described in the essay follows the chronology of my studio production as I explore methods of observational painting. The accompanying historical and theoretical research revolves around contemporary painting discourse, object-hood and visual perception. Questions around painting as contemporary practice are approached through topics of still life, materialism, observation, repetition, abstraction, and painting’s material language. The object retains a central role in this research as my paintings are grounded within the context of the still life. Referencing critical theory surrounding human-object interactions, including the writing of Jane Bennett and Bill Brown, I consider how vibrant matter and thing theory inform my perception of still life objects, as well as the vitality and agency of the painting itself. Weaving together writing of WJT Mitchell, James Elkins and Maurice Merleau-Ponty, I propose that the practice of observational painting can reveal a transformational and reciprocal exchange between observer and observed from which dominant subject-object hierarchies are dispelled. Through the repetition, obstruction and the concept of afterimage, I intend for my work to move beyond observed depictions of objects to approach the questions of where an object ends, the subject begins, and how these dualisms mingle and coalesce within the space of painting. To further my awareness and understanding of what constitutes the work of a painting, this essay aims to interrogate the double nature and function of the medium: as a mimetic representation of things in the world, and as an autonomous, vibrant entity composed of its own material logic and language. From this logic, the potentials of representation give way to the immanent qualities of surface, colour, form and materiality. The complexities and limits of representational painting are further addressed through historical and contemporary artist references, including Paul Cézanne, Giorgio Morandi, Philip Guston and Amy Sillman.

description: The European building stock is mature, and expanding cities need inclusive and innovative renovation solutions for all citizens while intensifying city densification. The European project EU-GUGLE aims to reduce primary energy consumption by 40-80 % and increase renewable energy use by 25 % through nearly zero-energy building renovation models for initiating large-scale, Europe-wide replication in cities and communities. About 200,000 m2 of residential and public buildings are being refurbished by implementing a balanced mix of technical, socio-economic, and financial solutions adapted to local needs. Six EU partner cities are participating, each revitalizing an urban district: Aachen, Bratislava, Milan, Sestao, Tampere, and Vienna. The comprehensive integrated approach used in EU-GUGLE is in line with the European Smart City initiative, and each participating city has created nearly zero-energy Smart City master plans based upon lowest-energy thermal renovations coupled with innovative renewable energy services incorporating every aspect of smart district life. All stages of the planning, construction, and post-occupancy phases of the large-scale district renewals are being documented, monitored, and evaluated to create sustainable district renovation methodologies for "smart renovations for smart cities" to meet the objectives of the European Commission's Smart Cities and Communities Initiative for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40 % within the European Union by 2020. The paper outlines the approach each city has taken and highlights case studies of the individual solutions created in three of the six cities.

description: Hurried, fragmented, distracted reading associated with digital formats is becoming the norm—pushing aside reflective, deep reading associated with print. Students’ reading and writing is increasingly moving to digital platforms associated with hyper-reading, whereas the school environment places emphasis on more focused attention and commitment to the text based on deep reading principles. Students aged 13–16 as well as educators were involved in a series of activities including interviews, co-creation, and user-testing, looking into how print associated reading skills could be translated and facilitated in a digital format. Focusing on bringing the positive aspects of the digital format into play: reader customization, interactive activities and annotation, the proposed system situates itself within the classroom, building upon the Guided reading comprehension strategies. This project is guided by the convergence of various notions and theories including: guided reading, the connection between ow and deep reading, the notions of intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation and the role of gamification. With those strategies in place, the project seeks to add to the spectrum of reading choices as well as to the conversation of extending deep reading into the digital realm.

Biosynthesis of protamine in trout Salmo gairdnerii testis
Creators: name: Ling, Victor
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: At a late stage of spermatogenesis a sperm-specific protein, protamine, is synthesized in the testis of salmonid fish and progressively replaces histones in combination with DNA. Protamine has a molecular weight near 5,000 and contains 2/3 of its total amino acid residues as arginine. Studies on the biosynthesis of protamine have been made on the rainbow trout (Salmo gairdnerii) testis. Successive column chromatography on Bio-Gel P-10 and CM- cellulose has been employed to isolate and characterize newly synthesized labelled protamine. Newly synthesized protamine is phosphorylated and is eluted earlier from the CM-cellulose column than mature protamine. However, the two forms of protamine chromatograph coin-cidentally when newly synthesized protamine is first treated with alkaline phosphatase. Protamine is separated into three components on CM-cellulose and the amino acid compositions of the components are very similar. The relative amounts of the components present in the testis nuclei are different at different stages of spermatogenesis and the synthesis of each component appears to be independently controlled. This suggests that the components, while chemically very similar, are the products of separate structural genes and may have different functions. By pulse labelling testis cell suspensions for different lengths of time and analyzing the amount of ¹⁴C- protamine found in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus, the site of protamine synthesis can be shown to be in the cytoplasm. Further, a cell-free, isolated post-mitochondrial cytoplasmic fraction can incorporate ¹⁴C-arginine into whole protamine molecules, while both an isolated nuclear fraction and high-speed supernatant were relatively inactive. This indicates that protamine synthesis occurs on cytoplasmic microsomes. Sedimentation analysis of pulse-labelled testis ribososes indicates that protamine is synthesized on a class of small polysomes, the disomes, sedimenting at 120S. While dimeric ribosomes investigated in various tissues have been shown to be inactive artefacts formed during isolation, the disomes in trout testis have been demonstrated to be a functional class of polysomes. They are not dissociable at 1 mM Mg⁺⁺ ion concentration, are not the breakdown product of larger polysomes, nor are they produced by interaction with free protamine. These disomes contain the major quantity of nascent protamine and increase in number in the testis cells during the active protamine synthesizing stage of development. The probable function of protamine is for the packaging of DNA into the sperm head. The phosphorylation of protamine and the protamine components may serve to regulate this packaging process.

description: Recently, a metric construction for the Calabi-Yau 3-folds from a four-dimensional hyperkahler space by adding a complex line bundle was proposed. We extend the construction by adding a U(1) factor to the holomorphic (3,0)-form, and obtain the explicit formalism for a generic hyperkahler base. We find that a discrete choice arises: the U(1) factor can either depend solely on the fibre coordinates or vanish. In each case, the metric is determined by one differential equation for the modified Kahler potential. As explicit examples, we obtain the generalized resolutions (up to orbifold singularity) of the cone of the Einstein-Sasaki spaces Y^{p,q}. We also obtain a large class of new singular CY3 metrics with SU(2)\times U(1) or SU(2)\times U(1)^2 isometries.

This thesis research critically investigates what is understood as “traditional” in North American domestic ornamentation through considerations of complicated and intertwined histories, commerce, personal memory and taste. This paper provides an art historical and contemporary art context for this line of artistic investigation. Focusing on contemporary artists, this paper seeks to highlight the current discourse around culturally inherited materials, in particular of those from hybridized cultural identities. Drawing from theorists engaged in Marxism, post- structuralism, post-modernism; a nuanced understanding of ornament as a commodity and social signifier is highlighted. An account for the breadth of my material research is outlined in this document, focusing on three major works that were exhibited in defense of this thesis, Aurora, Secret Garden and Like Countless Men on Horseback. A focus is emphasized around sets of gestural responses to materials; these are drawing, casting, tracing, folding, cutting, and staging. These gestures invite viewers to think through their own understanding of domestic ornamentation and inherited social structures, as they focus on perceptions of appropriation, nostalgia, monumentality and memory. This paper concludes with implications of this research. That networks of associations to the self, class and history resound through the maintenance of domestic ornamentation. These networks are not static and fluctuate through trend, social norms and ideas surrounding domesticity. Thus it is paramount that in the creation of works invested in this dialogue that ambiguity is facilitated to gain entry into layered, and possibly contradictory associations to the ornamentation of the home. The accumulation of my cultural identity, lived experience, influences and biases will continue to be investigated and articulated through my practice vis-à-vis symbolic socially constructed materials and beliefs.

description: Longitudinal measurement invariance (LMI) is a critical prerequisite to assessing change over time with intensive longitudinal data (ILD). For LMI testing with ILD, we propose cross-classified factor analysis (CCFA) to detect non-invariant item parameters and alignment optimization (AO) to detect non-invariant time points as a supplement to CCFA. In addition, we use a covariate in CCFA to identify a source of non-invariance. To evaluate the proposed models under unique features of ILD, such as autoregression (AR), we conducted a Monte Carlo simulation study. The results showed CCFA can be an excellent tool for ILD LMI testing regardless of simulation factors even when AR was misspecified and can identify a source of non-invariance using a covariate. AO can supplement CCFA to find non-invariant time points although AO requires a large number of persons. We provide detailed discussions and practical suggestions.

description: We consider Vlasov-type scaling for the Glauber dynamics in continuum with a positive integrable potential, and construct rescaled and limiting evolutions of correlation functions. Convergence to the limiting evolution for the positive density system in infinite volume is shown. Chaos preservation property of this evolution gives a possibility to derive a non-linear Vlasov-type equation for the particle density of the limiting system.

Material Traces: Mapping Habitat Loss in Northern British Columbia
Creators: name: Van Dyke, Joshua
Publisher: name: Emily Carr University of Art and Design

Subjects: Information visualization

description: This material research examines the movement of data between digital and analog space, tracing its migration between states, the falling away of its meaning and its reconstruction. This idea was tested by visualizing ecological data models through an automated reduction process to simulate a continuity of wildlife migratory patterns. This process explores material as a vector for accumulated knowledge, illustrating a recession of Woodland Caribou populations in British Columbia through a contraction of their herd ranges over a twenty-two year period. The use of modern GIS and digital manufacturing processes references visually a history of narrative and spatial representation, such as bass relief carving, cartographic projection, and cognitive mapping, relevant today as the meaningful interface between man, the wilderness, the wood matrix and landscape changes. The wood matrix, our forestry industry is composed of primary, secondary and tertiary sectors. The primary sector processes raw materials, including saw milling, pulp and paper, and composite panel manufacturing. The secondary ‘value-added’ sector covers re-manufactured wood products, engineered components, mill work, furniture, pallets and containers. Tertiary sector covers equipment supply, education, research, consulting, transport and distribution. These historical examples of spatial representation and digital manufacturing processes have informed the production of artifacts, which record a body of data that points towards a probabilistic future, a forewarning of a vanishing point of biodiversity.

Relationships between the socio-economic characteristics of farmers in British Columbia and their contacts with district agriculturists
Creators: name: Akinbode, Isaac Adefolu

Year: 2011

description: The purpose of the study was to measure the communication between farmers and the Agricultural Extension Service in British Columbia by analyzing the nature and number of contacts, as well as the relationship of such contacts to the socio-economic characteristics of farm operators. Two hypotheses were tested to ascertain whether there were any statistically significant differences in the level and kind of contact with District Agriculturists among farmers of varying socio-economic characteristics. The analytical survey method was used, and the data were collected by personal interviews with 256 farm household heads. The areas studied included Peace River, Northern Tier, North Thompson and Salmon Arm in rural British Columbia. In general, the respondents had similar characteristics to farm operators in other rural areas in the province. The respondents had a median of eight years of schooling, median net farm income of $2,000 to $2,999, and about one half of them had no off-farm jobs. Contacts between the respondents and the District Agriculturist were mainly through impersonal rather than personal sources of information, and the respondents reached by the two types of contact were not the same. The number of respondents who had personal contacts varied from 16 to 35 per cent, while the number obtaining information through the impersonal sources varied from 81 to 93 per cent, depending on the type of contact. The farmers had an average of 3.71 different types of contact during the year 1966. These included an average of 1.05 personal and 2.66 impersonal contacts. Farmers with higher socio-economic status reported more contacts than did lower status farmers. More personal contacts with the District Agriculturist were reported by farmers with more education. There were statistically significant differences between the users of all extension contacts and non-users, with respect to thirteen socio-economic characteristics. Four characteristics, including years of school completed, distance travelled for goods and services, social participation and amount of gross farm income, accounted for 34 per cent of the variation in the use of all types of extension contact combined. Between 13 and 27 per cent of the variation in each individual type of contact was accounted for by differing combinations of socio-economic characteristics.

description: The pursuit for an idealistic body permeates contemporary culture, with research drawing connections to body image dissatisfaction and its emergence in children as young as age 5 (Lowes Tiggemann, 2003). This Master of Design thesis project focuses on the impact of the parent-child relationship and its importance in the healthy development of a child’s self-image. The scope of the work addresses Canadian parents with a child between the ages of 4-6, emphasizing the influence of their role in promoting positive body awareness during early childhood. this project considers how design may affect the knowledge, perspectives and behaviours of young Canadian families who are struggling with body dissatisfaction. a review of precedent literature triangulates the inquiry within the partnering fields of health and social sciences. Various participatory design methods were introduced in a human-centered approach, collaborating with parents to address the gaps in contemporary parenting resources. A synthesis of primary and secondary research resulted in the designed outcome of “healthy heroes”; a behaviour change system that supports Canadian families in communicating and engaging in positive health behaviours. The system is made up of tools centered around the narrative of the healthy heroes superhero team; a set of four children who use their natural, intrinsic traits as superpowers within everyday life. The tools encourage healthy behaviours through shared parent-child experiences, providing children with the education and agency to develop lifelong resiliency skills in an entertaining way.
