More than condoms and sandwiches : a feminist investigation of the contradictory promises of harm reduction approaches to prostitution
Creators: name: Graham, Erin Joan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: This research explores the experiences and perspectives of women providing front-line service in organizations and agencies, both feminist and mainstream, whose mandate includes support for women experiencing violence, particularly women in prostitution. There is significant research into the experiences of women in prostitution, however, little is known about the experiences and perspectives of front-line workers employed in paid and unpaid positions in the social service industry who are providing support to women in prostitution. Their views of prostitution and the policy frameworks that inform their work are the focus of this inquiry drawing attention, in particular, to how policies framed as harm reduction shape what kinds of support women in prostitution are offered. Harm reduction is an approach initially used to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with the use of illicit drugs. Since the 2003 opening of Insite, North America’s first supervised injection facility (SIF), tactics called harm reduction have been applied to other social problems, including street-level prostitution. This study argues for an approach that goes beyond mere reduction of harm, and explicates and extends a feminist response to male violence in pursuit of good old-fashioned women’s liberation. Data for this inquiry included in-depth interviews with 16 women providing front line services. This study also examined key governmental reports on prostitution and recent court challenges regarding the legality of prostitution, including the 1985 Fraser Report on Pornography and Prostitution in Canada, the 2006 Federal report called The Challenge of Change: A Study of Canada’s Criminal Prostitution Laws, and affidavits gathered by Pivot Legal Society in 2003 from women engaged in prostitution in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver. Using a methodology informed by Dorothy Smith’s sociology for women and critical discourse analysis, the contemporary and historical contexts of Vancouver’s response to social inequality as it is expressed in public discourse about prostitution and harm reduction was examined. Smith’s approach also informs analysis of the study participants’ perspectives. This work challenges the de-politicizing and pathologizing discourses of harm reduction ideology in Vancouver, and provides a forum for women on the front-lines to offer alternatives that may move us to harm elimination.

Fully Automated Self-Calibration for ALMA / VLA
Creators: name: John, Tobin
name: Sheehan, Patrick
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Phase and amplitude variations that occur between observations of calibrator sources and sometimes systematic issues like antenna position errors can limit the achieved signal-to-noise ratios of ALMA datasets with only standard calibration applied. Self-calibration can remedy these issues, but has traditionally been a time-consuming, manual process that was often left to the user to carry out after delivery of their data. We have developed and implemented a robust automatic target self-calibration routine that can operate on a wide variety of data. The routine is now part of the standard ALMA imaging pipeline for Cycle 10 and beyond. We describe the process and heuristics that go into automated self-calibration and show some example outcomes. While the pipeline currently only supports single-field self-calibration, future enhancements will extend the types of data that it can successfully self-calibrated and the observing modes supported, such as mosaics. The inclusion of automated self-calibration will result in higher quality continuum images going into the ALMA archive and ultimately save time for users.

Implementation and evaluation of a classroom synchronous participation system
Creators: name: Beshai, Peter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: In large university classes it can be difficult to provide an engaging environment for effective student learning. Many instructors have turned to using student response systems (e.g., clickers) to mitigate this problem, with the i>clicker brand common in North America. However, usage of such systems is typically limited to administering multiple choice questions to the class, with real-time feedback displaying only an aggregate representation of the result distribution. We developed an architecture for Classroom Synchronous Participation Systems (CSPS) to extend the use of such systems to support a wider variety of activities. We implemented a working system called Rhombus CSPS which allows clickers to be treated as generic five-button controllers that can be used as inputs for interactive, multi-player applications. Several game-theoretic exercises were implemented using the system and tested in a classroom setting with students enrolled in a third-year university cognitive systems course. The evaluation took place across two consecutive terms, with the researcher assisting with using the system in the first, and the instructor using it alone in the second. The results indicate both students and the instructor had a positive experience using the system. Students reported high levels of engagement and valued the activities' effect on their learning, although there were differences between the two terms. The instructor praised the system for enabling him to teach the curriculum of activities he desired to, where he was previously limited by lack of technological support. Displaying individual feedback to users in a CSPS can be challenging when there is only a single shared display all students are viewing, especially if it is desirable to keep responses private. To tackle this problem, we developed a display technique for providing semi-private feedback to users based on exploiting limitations in visual perception. We ran two experiments to test the efficacy of our technique, with results indicating that our technique provides a high degree of accuracy for interpreting one's own feedback, while limiting the ability to simultaneously interpret another's feedback to near random chance.

description: In the EU-funded project RiskGONE (https://riskgone.eu/), we are developing and testing online tools for risk governance, to support dialogue in a newly established nano risk governance council. This toolset includes an integrated system for performing an ethical impact assessment (EIA) [1], based on a CEN Workshop Agreement [2]. The EIA procedure, explained in the methodology, incorporates targeted stakeholder engagement during the identification and evaluation of ethical impacts of a nanomaterial or nanoproduct, and in making recommendations for remedial actions. The EIA tools can also be used to support ethical impact assessment of regional stakeholders. We illustrate how this could be done in a case study of the use of nanomaterials in wastewater remediation in a developing country. Policy implications are that the EIA procedure is useful for identifying ethical issues and engaging stakeholders in their evaluation and in suggesting recommendations.

Modeling the fluid-structure interaction of the upper airway : towards simulation of obstructive sleep apnea
Creators: name: Anderson, Peter J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a syndrome in which the human Upper Airway (UA) collapses during sleep leading to frequent sleep disruption and inadequate air supply to the lungs. OSA involves Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) between a complex airflow regime and intricate mechanics of soft and hard tissue, causing large deformation of the complicated UA geometry. Numerical simulations provide a means for understanding this complex system, therefore, we develop a validated FSI simulation, composed of a 1D fluid model coupled with a 3D FEM solid solver (Artisynth), that is applied to a parameterized airway model providing a fast and versatile system for researching FSI in the UA. The 1D fluid model implements the limited pressure recovery model of Cancelli and Pedley [28] using a dynamic pressure recovery term, area function corrections allowing complete closure and reopening of fluid geometries, and discretization schemes providing robust behavior in highly-uneven geometries. The fluid model is validated against 3D fluid simulations in static geometries and simple dynamic geometries, and proves reliable for predicting bulk flow pressure. Validation of simulation methods in Artisynth is demonstrated by simulating the buckling, complete collapse, and reopening of elastic tubes under static pressure which compare well with experimental results. The FSI simulation is validated against experiments performed for a collapsible channel (a "2D" Starling resistor) designed to have geometry and characteristics similar to the UA. The observed FSI behaviors are described and compared for both experiment and simulation, providing a quantitative validation of the FSI simulation. The simulations and experiments agree quite well, exhibiting the same major FSI behaviors, similar progression from one behavior to another, and similar dynamic range. A parameterized UA model is designed for fast and consistent creation of geometries. Uniform pressure and dynamic flow FSI simulations are performed with this model for numerous parameters associated with OSA. Uniform pressure simulations compare well to clinical data. Dynamic flow results demonstrate airflow limitation and snoring oscillations. The simulations are fast, simulating 1 s of FSI in 30 minutes. This model is a powerful tool for understanding the complex mechanics of OSA.

description: The power spectral density (PSD) of any time-dependent stochastic processX (t) is ameaningful feature of its spectral content. In its text-book definition, the PSD is the Fourier transform of the covariance function of X-t over an infinitely large observation timeT, that is, it is defined as an ensemble-averaged property taken in the limitT -> infinity. Alegitimate question is what information on the PSD can be reliably obtained from single-trajectory experiments, if one goes beyond the standard definition and analyzes the PSD of a single trajectory recorded for a finite observation timeT. In quest for this answer, for a d-dimensional Brownian motion (BM) we calculate the probability density function of a single-trajectory PSD for arbitrary frequency f, finite observation time T and arbitrary number k of projections of the trajectory on different axes. We show analytically that the scaling exponent for the frequency-dependence of the PSD specific to an ensemble of BM trajectories can be already obtained from a single trajectory, while the numerical amplitude in the relation between the ensemble-averaged and single-trajectory PSDs is afluctuating property which varies from realization to realization. The distribution of this amplitude is calculated exactly and is discussed in detail. Our results are confirmed by numerical simulations and single-particle tracking experiments, with remarkably good agreement. In addition we consider a truncated Wiener representation of BM, and the case of a discrete-time lattice random walk. We highlight some differences in the behavior of a single-trajectory PSD for BM and for the two latter situations. The framework developed herein will allow for meaningful physical analysis of experimental stochastic trajectories.

description: Transition metals in inorganic systems and metalloproteins can occur in different oxidation states, which makes them ideal redox-active catalysts. To gain a mechanistic understanding of the catalytic reactions, knowledge of the oxidation state of the active metals, ideally in operando, is therefore critical. L-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a powerful technique that is frequently used to infer the oxidation state via a distinct blue shift of L-edge absorption energies with increasing oxidation state. A unified description accounting for quantum-chemical notions whereupon oxidation does not occur locally on the metal but on the whole molecule and the basic understanding that L-edge XAS probes the electronic structure locally at the metal has been missing to date. Here we quantify how charge and spin densities change at the metal and throughout the molecule for both redox and core-excitation processes. We explain the origin of the L-edge XAS shift between the high-spin complexes Mn-II(acac)(2) and Mn-III(acac)(3) as representative model systems and use ab initio theory to uncouple effects of oxidation-state changes from geometric effects. The shift reflects an increased electron affinity of Mn-III in the core-excited states compared to the ground state due to a contraction of the Mn 3d shell upon core-excitation with accompanied changes in the classical Coulomb interactions. This new picture quantifies how the metal-centered core hole probes changes in formal oxidation state and encloses and substantiates earlier explanations. The approach is broadly applicable to mechanistic studies of redox-catalytic reactions in molecular systems where charge and spin localization/delocalization determine reaction pathways.

description: The influence of heat-treatment temperature on the optical properties (refractive index, transmittance, and attenuation) and gas sensitivities of nickel-doped lithium iron phosphate (LiFe0.99Ni0.01PO4) thin films were discussed. LiFe0.99Ni0.01PO4 was synthesized in one step using hydrothermal methods and fixed to tin-diffused glass as a sensing film by spin-coating before calcination at different temperatures. The obtained thin films were characterized by refractive index, thickness, attenuation, and porosity, as well as gas sensing performances for benzene, toluene, and xylene. The experimental results indicated that the LiFe0.99Ni0.01PO4 thin films dried at 450°C displayed higher refractive indices, good transparency, and less attenuation; thus, the resulting sensor of a LiFe0.99Ni0.01PO4 thin film/tin-diffused optical wave-guide exhibited a greater response to xylene in the concentration range of 0.1–1000 ppm.

description: Excerpt from the report: This study is a followup of earlier research on the effect of different levels of promotional expenditures on the sales of fluid milk. The present study differs from the previous one in two important respects t (1) It presents the results of a consumer survey conducted by the American Dairy Association to determine the extent of consumer exposure to the promotion, and (2) it gives a followup analysis of sales during a 1-year period after the experiment to determine more precisely the transitory and permanent aspects of the increase in sales observed during the previous study. This is considered important since it holds significant implications for promotional strategy.

description: Most aspects of the Australian environment continue to decline and are projected to decline further, while there is little information available on the effectiveness of the EPBC Act in achieving its objects, this decline shows that Australias overall environmental effort, including effort under the Act, is clearly insufficient. Despite uncertainty as to exactly what the EPBC Act is intended to achieve, it is clearly capable of operating to deliver significant beneficial environmental outcomes but it is not doing so in practice, for reasons that include insufficient direction to decision-makers and guidance to proponents; absent or insufficiently-strong statutory plans; and significant under-resourcing. For the Act to deliver the strong, clear and focused protections, referred to in the Terms of Reference while making decisions simpler, reducing unnecessary regulatory burdens, supporting partnerships, improving transparency and streamlining and integrating planning, would require a major change of approach at all levels and a significant increase in effort. At a conceptual level, the Act needs to be built on a model that adopts a goal of sustainable use of nature and supports that goal with a coherent suite of principles concerning policy integration and participation; the maintenance of ecological function; adequate information and precaution; economic efficiency and environmental federalism.

description: In the present study, fresh whole corn plants along with half milk kernels line were treated with live and hydrolysed yeast with different concentrations before ensiling and kept in airtight bags and then into mini silos in order to achieve anaerobic conditions for proper fermentation. The buckets were opened after different time intervals to characterise the material, quick acidification, dry matter recovery, and aerobic stability of silage respectively. Moreover, mycoflora and aflatoxin contamination were also analysed. The overall result reported that the silage quality was improved by the application of live and hydrolysed yeast. The best result was reported by the application of live yeast (T2: 10 g/kg) which significantly improved the fermentative, proximate, and digestibility parameters and reduced the mycoflora and aflatoxin contamination. Our results present promising new options for the use of natural compounds that may help to improve silage quality and reduce aflatoxin contamination.

description: Report Introduction: Between 1961 and 1965, the United States exported 165 million long tons of heavy grain--corn, wheat, and soybeans. The average value of this trade was about $2 billion annually, approximately half from wheat exports alone. The cost of shipping grain by ocean freight has a marked influence on the competitive position of the United States in world grain markets. Also, differences in rates affect the competitive positions of the various coasts as shipping points, and the interregional competition of the producing areas. However, the free market nature of ocean freight rates for bulk commodities makes it difficult to obtain information on the general level of rates for grain shipments, their behavior over time, and the degree to which shipping rates from one coast affect shipping rates from the other coasts. The U.S. Department of Agriculture conducted this study to provide such information. In it, the causes of rate fluctuations were explored and a general theory of rate behavior was developed.
Visualising the industrial north : exploring new ways to engage and inform the public on the physical footprint and scale of very large resource extraction projects such as the Alberta tar sands open pit mines and associated pipelines
Creators: name: Cizek, Petr
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Using the Alberta tar sands open pit mines and associated pipelines as a case study, the effectiveness of maps and landscape visualisation displayed within virtual globes in informing public perception of large-scale landscape disturbance and associated impacts is evaluated. While controversy swirls around the tar sands, this proposed “gigaproject” has never been assessed, mapped, or visualised in its totality. Comprehensive mapping and landscape visualisation of this “gigaproject” may be essential for the public and practitioners to understand, debate, and discuss the full scope and scale of this “gigaproject”. Focus groups with a total of 32 members of the general public were conducted in Vancouver and Edmonton. In a typical computer lab setting, participants viewed a Google Earth project showing the cumulative development of the scale and physical footprint of tar sands open pit mines on individual computers. Participants completed an initial and follow up questionnaire as well as engaged in discussion and presentations that were facilitated by the researcher. Based on the results of the focus group study, after viewing using interactive multi-scale media, participants experienced significant learning; perceived the geographic area of the projects as larger than before viewing; in some cases over-estimated the spatial extent and growth of the projects; became significantly more opposed to future projects but not to existing projects; and expressed emotional reactions due to disclosure of key aspects of the project enhanced by the benefits of the display medium. Significantly more participants found 2D maps to be more believable than 3D visualisations. Most participants found interacting with Google Earth virtual globes to be useful in displaying the tar sands project. Major implications of this study are that using virtual globes, such as Google Earth, that allow for seamless transition between multiple scales to visualize very large but poorly understood projects, can increase people's awareness of scale and other environmental implications and may affect peoples’ perception and opinion of those projects negatively. The study suggests that visualization of large irregular disturbances may lead to some overestimation of actual spatial extent, but this does not appear to be related to the negativity of opinions.

description: Excerpts from the report Preface: The markets for fluid milk have remained essentially local longer than those for most other agricultural commodities. Distinctive forms of classified price plans and of Class I price structures have been maintained in such markets. The research model reported herein applies reactive programming techniques to data for the Federal order markets. It shows what the geographic pattern of Class I prices in the orders would be if milk flowed between markets wherever Class I prices differed by more than hauling costs. Like any such model, this one involves assumptions about hauling costs, marketing responses, and perfect knowledge. The most basic assumption is that most local market distinctions have vanished. In fact, milk is processed from and distributed over much wider territories than it was before World War II. Thus, local market price influences have lessened, but are by no means gone. The model is, therefore, a research tool which may serve to indicate some of the major differences between actual prices and prices based on a free-flow pattern.

description: The phytochemical investigation on the rhizomes of Dryopteris crassirhizoma (Dryopteridaceae) resulted in the discovery of one novel compound, drycrassirhizomamide A (1), and one new natural product, drycrassirhizomamide B (2), as well as four known isolates, (S)-(-)-N-benzoylphenylalaninol (3), blumenol A (4), 8-C-glucosylnoreugenin (5), and dryopteroside (6). Their chemical structures were identified by NMR and mass spectroscopy. Compounds 1-2 were determined to be 1,19-diethyl 10-oxo-2,9,11,18-tetraazanonadecanedioate and C,C′-diethyl N,N′-1,6-hexanediylbis[carbamate]. The anti-inflammatory activities of these compounds were evaluated with LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophage and BV2 microglia. The results showed that compounds 1-3 and 6 have inhibitory effects of NO production with IC50 values of 13.41, 30.36, 25.51, and 11.35 μM in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Also, compounds 1 and 4-6 have abilities to inhibit NO production with the IC50 values of 40.11, 30.94, 15.76, and 16.79 μM in BV2 cells, which demonstrated that they may possess the potential anti-inflammatory activity.

description: Drei in Innsbruck, Wien und Bregenz erhaltene Streichinstrumente von Jonas Heringer gaben Anlass, sich diesem bisher weithin unbekannten Füssener Instrumentenmacher zu beschäftigen und seine Vita zu erforschen. Die Besprechung seiner Bratsche und seiner beiden Bassgeigen gewährt Einblick in die Frühgeschichte des Streichinstrumentenbaus in Füssen zur Zeit des dreißigjährigen Krieges und davor, deren Kenntnis neben dem bereits gut dokumentierten Allgäuer Lautenbau noch ein Desiderat darstellt.

description: Der Name Leopold Widhalm steht wie kein anderer für den Geigenbau der Freien Reichsstadt Nürnberg. Umso mehr erstaunt der Inhalt eines Dokumentes im Wiener Stadtarchiv, das belegt, dass Widhalm, der wegen seiner katholischen Religionszugehörigkeit seine Werkstatt vor den Stadttoren Nürnbergs betreiben musste, sich zweimal (1768 und 1770) um das Bürger- und Meisterrecht der Stadt Wien bemühte. Der aus Horn in Niederösterreich gebürtige Widhalm beruft sich auf einen angeblichen Erlass, der österreichischen Landeskindern das Recht auf Vergünstigungen bei einer Rückkehr in ihr Heimatland ermöglichen sollte und führt nachdrücklich auch konfessionelle Gründe an. Das an die Stadt Wien gerichtete Ansuchen wurde an die in Wien ansässigen Geigenbauer zur Beurteilung weitergereicht, die sich mit zahlreichen Begründungen vehement für eine Ablehnung aussprechen. Neben einer kommentierten Transkription versucht dieser Beitrag einen Einblick in die gesellschaftlichen Umstände um Widhalms Gesuch zu geben. Der Schriftwechsel belegt überdies, dass Widhalm – wie zu vermuten war – sein Handwerk tatsächlich in Wien erlernt hat.

description: 四色定理提出至今已有170年，证明一直止步于1976年Appel结合计算机验证，至今仍有不少学者在追求纯人工的证明。在构建极大平面图的过程中，同一构型图不同的连线染色顺序存在着不同位置的双色顶点，但是双色顶点总量一样。从一个三角形开始，任何MPG都可以通过添加新顶点和其连线连接到原闭环逐步构建。在连线着色时，令双色顶点集中在闭环上，单色顶点数量在闭环上始终小于3。进一步可证明单色顶点数量在闭环上小于4的构型可4-着色。实际上闭环上单色顶点数量小于3
It has been 170 years since the four-color theorem was proposed, and the proof has stopped in 1976. Appel combined with computer verification, many scholars are still pursuing pure manual proof. In the process of constructing a maximal plane graph, there are two-color vertices in different positions in different line coloring sequences of the same configuration graph, but the total amount of two-color vertices is the same. Starting from a triangle, any mpg can be gradually constructed by adding new vertices and connecting them to the original closed loop. In each construction, the two-color vertices are transferred to the closed loop, and the number of one-color vertices is always less than 4 in the closed loop, which further proves that the configuration can be 4-colored.

description: Vor allem in der Bach- und Mozartforschung sind die diesbezüglichen Autographe in den Kunstsammlungen der Veste Coburg eingehend beschrieben und ausgewertet. Eine Gesamtschau und -würdigung dieses zwar kleinen jedoch bedeutenden Quellenbestands fehlt dagegen. Die Katalogisierung der Sammlung durch die Münchner Arbeitsstelle des Internationalen Quellenlexikons der Musik RISM sei zum Anlass genommen, einen Überblick zu geben sowie einige interessante Musikmanuskripte etwas eingehender zu beschreiben.

description: Violent clashes took place between the Ottoman troops and the Armenian guerilla bands in the city of Van on the eastern edge of the Ottoman Empire in April-May of 1915. The armed struggle in the city and the subsequent occupation of the region by the Russian army and Armenian volunteer units constitute a turning point in the history of World War I. They are particularly important as they are interpreted as a defining factor in the Ottoman government’s policy of deporting the Armenian population of Anatolia, which it considered a threat to its rear on the Russian front.

description: Before the beginning of World War I in Europe, the US enjoyed a sizeable industrial base and one of the largest economies in the world with an economic output that surpassed the UK and doubled that of Germany. In the twenty months of active involvement in the war, however, the US experienced a rapid and substantial transformation of its economy. This article reviews the Great War’s impact on the US economy through evolving business-government relationships; mobilization of the economy; and financing the war effort.

Near-optimal Herding
Creators: name: Samadi, Samira
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Herding is an algorithm of recent interest in the machine learning community, motivated by inference in Markov random fields. It solves the following Sampling Problem: given a set Χ \subset R^d with mean μ, construct an infinite sequence of points from Χ such that, for every t ≥ 1, the mean of the first t points in that sequence lies within Euclidean distance O(1/t) of μ. The error of a solution to Sampling Problem is defined to be the distance between the empirical mean of the first t samples and the original mean μ. The O(1/t) error bound suppresses the dependence on d and Χ. In this thesis, we study the best dependence on d and |Χ| that can be achieved for the error in Sampling Problem. Known analysis of the Herding algorithm give an error bound that depends on geometric properties of Χ but, even under favorable conditions, this bound depends linearly on d. We first show that any algorithm for the Sampling Problem must have error Ω(√d/t). Afterward, we present a new polynomial-time algorithm that solves the Sampling Problem with error O(√d log^2.5|Χ|/t) assuming that Χ is finite. This implies that our algorithm is optimal to within logarithmic factors. Finally, we prove that the actual error of the Herding Algorithm is strictly worse than the error of our algorithm if we measure the error in the infinity-norm. Our algorithm is randomized and based on recent algorithmic results in discrepancy theory. We implement our algorithm and other potential solutions for the Sampling Problem and evaluate them on various inputs.

description: Seven compounds, named β-sitosterol (1), daucosterol (2), (+)-pinoresinol-β-D-glucoside (3), (−)-syringaresinol 4-O-β-D-apiofuranosyl-(1→2)- β-D-glucopyranoside (4), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (5), 2-(3', 4'-dihydroxyphenyl)-1, 3-pepper ring-5-aldehyde (6) and spinosin (7) were isolated from the rhizome of Acorus calamus var. angustatus Besser. 3, 4, 6 and 7 were isolated from this medicinal plant for the first time. Structures were elucidated by physicochemical properties and extensive spectroscopic analysis, as well as by comparison with literature data. The anti-inflammatory activity and related mechanisms of the seven compounds showed that compounds 1–7 all increased the levels of GSH-PX and SOD and decreased the levels of MDA, TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6. Compound 4 showed the best effect of anti-inflammatory and Beclin-1 inhibition. These results suggest that compound 4 has stronger anti-inflammatory effect and provide preliminary evidence that the mechanism of action of compound 4 in attenuating LPS-induced inflammatory damage may be related to the inhibition of Beclin-1-dependent autophagy.
