Probing the concept of language vitality : the state of titular languages in the national republics of Russia
Creators: name: Boltokova, Daria
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This essay seeks to examine vitality of ‘titular languages,’ that is, languages of ‘titular nations,’ in the national republics constituting autonomous units of the Russian Federation. An attempt to map the vitality of languages indigenous to titular nations of Russia is made in order to identify major emerging trend(s) in the use of autochthonous languages. I hypothesize that the years of Soviet rule that promoted the Russian language as the lingua franca throughout the territory of the Soviet Union could not leave the vitality of languages of titular nations unaffected. I suggest that there exists a peculiar relationship between institutions and language vitality in the national republics of the Russian Federation. Political institutions, thus, are an independent variable in this study and language vitality is the dependent variable. The relationship between the two is contingent on the intervening variable of the demographic composition of the republics. I argue that de facto Russification affects the vitality of the languages indigenous to titular nations depending on the demographic composition of the republic, while de jure recognition of the titular languages by the state and the republics’ constitutions in present-day Russia may not imply fundamental changes in their overall strength. Apart from in the field of linguistics, language vitality is a fairly new concept and has not been extensively explored in the political science literature. Therefore, I will begin by analyzing theories from different disciplines to build a definition of language vitality and how it will be ‘measured’ for the purposes of this paper. In the second section of the paper I will introduce the major trajectories of the Soviet language policy, which subsequently flow into the language policy of contemporary Russia. I will conclude the theoretical section by emphasizing the importance of language vitality for theories of ethnicity and nationalism in political science. The paper relies on the 1979, 1989, and 2002 census data and uses descriptive statistical and linear regression analysis.

description: We introduce an effective model for $e_g$ electrons to describe quasi-two-dimensional layered La$_{2-x}$Sr$_{x}$NiO$_4$ nickelates and study it using correlated wave functions on $8 \times 8 $ and $6 \times 6 $ clusters. The effective Hamiltonian includes the kinetic energy, on-site Coulomb interactions for $e_g$ electrons (intraorbital $U$ and Hund's exchange $J_H$) and the coupling between $e_g$ electrons and Jahn-Teller distortions (static modes). The experimental ground state phases with inhomogeneous charge, spin and orbital order at the dopings $x=1/3$ and $x=1/2$ are reproduced very well by the model. Although the Jahn-Teller distortions are weak, we show that they play a crucial role and stabilize the observed cooperative charge, magnetic and orbital order in form of a diagonal stripe phase at $x=1/3$ doping and a checkerboard phase at $x=1/2$ doping.

description: The f(R)-gravitational theory with torsion is considered for one family of leptons; it is found that the torsion tensor gives rise to interactions having the structure of the weak forces while the intrinsic non-linearity of the f(R) function provides an energy-dependent coupling: in this way, torsional f(R) gravity naturally generates both structure and strength of the electroweak interactions among leptons. This implies that the weak interactions among the lepton fields could be addressed as a geometric effect due to the interactions among spinors induced by the presence of torsion in the most general f(R) gravity. Phenomenological considerations are addressed.

description: The IN-HABIT Toolkit aims to provide a set of guidelines, methods and tools for the wider engagement of stakeholders in the People-public-private partnerships (PPPPs). It includes instructions for stakeholders mapping and local needs assessment, selection criteria, structure, working rules and diversity management procedures, co-design methodology, and the necessary guidelines and templates for the creation and management of the four local IN-HUBs. The Toolkit is the basis for the training process of the Local Community Activators and provides the reference set for the management of the four local IN-HUBS established in the cities of Córdoba, Lucca, Nitra, and Riga. It supports the accomplishment of a fully inclusive process of co-creation, co-design, co-management, and co-monitoring of the innovative solutions envisioned by the four local PPPPs, with specific attention at the engagement of less represented and more at risk of exclusion stakeholders.

The toolkit includes the Glossary, providing definitions of the main terms adopted by the project as agreed among the partners, the Gender, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (GDEI) guidelines, aimed at supporting the wider, just and equal participation of all social groups to the process, and the IN-HUBs Management guidelines, which provide tools and templates for setting the local PPPPs coordination structure, co-monitoring procedures, and to support the co-creation of innovative solutions with citizens and stakeholders.

This Toolkit is a living set of guidelines, methods and tools, and it will be adapted throughout the entire process based on the needs coming from the contextual application to the issues of the territories and the feedback of the local communities using it. Its purpose is to provide a set of flexible instruments to support the development of solutions tailored to the peculiarities of the local communities and to support their transferability to other territories. The toolkit is created through a collaborative process steered by WP5 Lead Partner TSR in which the partners share methods and approaches to define a specific IN-HABIT methodology. Each time the document is updated all partners will be duly informed about it. The present version is the first collection of tools deriving from the training process of the Local Community Activators and will be improved and adapted through the actual development of the project activities on the territory. Once the guidelines and tools are consolidated through contextual application in the IN-HUBS, the toolkit will be condensed in visual synthetic form for dissemination purposes.

description: We investigate interaction effects in three dimensional weak topological insulators (TI) with an even number of Dirac cones on the surface. We find that the surface states can be gapped by a surface charge density wave (CDW) order without breaking the time-reversal symmetry. In this sense, time reversal symmetry alone can not robustly protect the weak TI state in the presence of interactions. If the translational symmetry is additionally imposed in the bulk, a topologically non-trivial weak TI state can be obtained with helical edge states on the CDW domain walls. In other words, a CDW domain wall on the surface is topologically equivalent to the edge of a two-dimensional quantum spin Hall insulator. Therefore, the surface state of a weak topological insulator with translation symmetry breaking on the surface has a "half quantum spin Hall effect", in the same way that the surface state of a strong topological insulator with time-reversal symmetry breaking on the surface has a "half quantum Hall effect". The on-site and nearest neighbor interactions are investigated in the mean field level and the phase diagram for the surface states of weak topological insulators is obtained.

description: In this paper we apply a minmax characterization for nonoverdamped nonlinear eigenvalue problems to a rational eigenproblem governing mechanical vibrations of a tube bundle immersed in an inviscid compressible fluid. This eigenproblem is nonstandard in two respects: it depends rationally on the eigenparameter, and it involves non-local boundary conditions. Comparison results are proved comparing the eigenvalues of the rational problem to those of certain linear problems suggesting a way how to construct ansatz vectors for an efficient projection method.
Chemokines regulation of immune cell recruitment across the blood-brain barrier in inflammation
Creators: name: Liu, Kenneth King Yin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A key element of the inflammatory response in the central nervous system (CNS) is the recruitment of leukocytes across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) that normally restricts their passage from blood to brain. Endothelial cell (EC) adhesion molecules and chemokines have emerged as important mediators of leukocyte recruitment to the CNS. The objective of this study was to characterize the kinetics of expression and release of the chemokine CXCL12 by human brain microvessel EC (HBMEC) and to investigate the effects of CXCL12 and the beta-chemokines CCL2 and CCL3 on the adhesion and migration of T cell subsets and monocytes across an in vitro model of the BBB. Cytokines and LPS downregulated the constitutive CXCL12 and CXCR4 expression and CXCL12 ligation induced internalization of CXCR4. Monocyte and T cell adhesion and migration in response to these chemokines were studied in a double chamber chemotaxis system in the presence of chemokine concentration gradients. The minimal adhesion and migration of CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes were significantly increased after cytokine treatment of HBMEC. CXCL12 gradients further enhanced adhesion of both T cell subsets to activated HBMEC and migration across resting monolayers. Concentration gradients of CCL2 increased adhesion of activated CD4+ T cells to cytokine treated HBMEC, whereas CCL3 increased adhesion of memory CD4+ T cells to resting HBMEC. Migration of resting, activated, naïve and memory CD4+ T cells across resting and cytokine treated HBMEC was augmented in the presence of CCL2 or CCL3 in the subendothelial compartment. The number of migrated resting and naïve CD4+ T cells across resting HBMEC was slightly decreased by CCL3. Neither CCL2 nor CCL3 had any significant effect on monocyte adhesion, however, both chemokines significantly increased monocyte migration across resting HBMEC. Monocyte adhesion and migration across cytokine treated HBMEC were dependent upon integrins and EC adhesion molecules, since blocking ICAM-1, beta2- or alpha4-integrins significantly reduced transendothelial migration. These studies emphasize the importance of cerebral EC activation and the role of CXCL12, CCL2 and CCL3 in regulating the directional migration of T cell subsets and monocytes across the BBB, thus contributing to the specificity of immune responses in neuroinflammation.
The Recovery of Healthcare: A case study of Javanese medical practices and related discussions about pluralism in healthcare
Creators: name: Weydmann, Nicole
Publisher: name: Visions for Sustainability
Year: 2020

description: The use of 'traditional' medicine is a common phenomenon throughout Indonesia. In today’s Indonesian healthcare system 'traditional' and complementary medicine coexist with globalized biomedicine and even urban, educated households are still more likely to use 'traditional' than biomedical healthcare. This paper explores the fundamental differences between Western and Javanese understandings of health, illness and healing. It highlights first the Javanese relational perspective on healing, which involves resonance with the surrounding whole. It contrasts this with the entanglement of biomedical knowledge and economic interests, which is identified as a major problem of governmental healthcare services, as it enables overshadowing the medical objective of helping health-seeking persons with the objective of generating profit. Relationships with biomedical experts are described as shaped by monetary considerations, while rejecting non-biomedical treatment methods is suspected of being a way of protecting the interests of biomedical businesses. Based on these categorical and structural barriers between different medical traditions, the nationally structured and formally recognized system of healthcare is contrasted with a common informal, socially and culturally rooted way of navigating healing. Therefore, against the formal background of these conceptual differences, the paper highlights health seekers’ sensual experiences, embodied realities, and their common routines of tinkering and combining healthcare practices between conceptual differences. This provides glimpses into everyday informal cooperation between distinct medical traditions, which easily bridge categorical, structural and economic barriers. Key words: Healthcare Bricolage; Indonesia; Jamu Medicine; Javanese Tradition Medical Degrowth; Medical Pluralism; Primary Healthcare; Traditional Knowledge; Traditional Medicine.

description: In large-scale, heavy loaded sensor networks the hidden node problem significantly restricts the attainable throughput. This paper examines this issue and depicts why most TDMA as well as dedicated hybrid MAC protocols are still negatively affected by this phenomenon. The concept of probabilistic self-stabilization is adopted to provide a framework for implementable reservation MAC protocols that avoid packet loss caused by signal interferences even under high load. These protocols base upon two main primitives: continuity in channel access, allowing predictability, and acknowledgments, permitting to discover packet loss. The designed TDMA and CSMA protocols are able to cope with the hidden node problem and with topology changes and achieve a high throughput in a steady state. The protocols are simulated and compared with IEEE’s 802.15.4 unslotted CSMA/CA protocol.
Fatigue Life Analysis of Rail-Welds Based on Linear Fracture Mechanics
Creators: name: Yalelet Endalemaw
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2016

description: ngineered structures can fail in various ways including yielding, buckling and brittle fracture. While all materials suffer fatigue, the effect is particularly pronounced for ductile materials, such as metals and glassy polymers. For such a ductile material, fracture may occur after a small number of cycles, when cyclic loads repeatedly cause large-scale plastic deformation. In most engineering structures, however, loads are kept small so that the structures deform elastically. Even so, a crack may initiate somewhere in such a structure, and extend by a small amount during each cycle of the load.

Rail welds are the weak link in continuously welded rails i.e. Small imperfection in welds can cause cracks to initiate. Detection and rectification of rail-weld defects are major issues for all rail players around the world. If undetected and/or untreated these defects can lead to rail breaks and derailments. These are challenges to perform effective inspection and cost effective maintenance decisions. If these issues are addressed properly, inspection and maintenance decisions can reduce potential risk of rail breaks and derailments.

This thesis work was majorly aimed at determining probability of failure as a result of cyclic fatigue loading of the wheel on the Weldments so as to arrive at an inspection frequency.

Primarily, a finite element model (Abaqus model) was used to estimate the contact stress between the wheel section and the rail section at the weld and at the base rail, as well. Second, flaw (i. e the presence and size of cracks) was determined using an Ultrasonic flaw detector at different locations. Third, the model was updated to fracture mechanics-based fatigue models (FRANC3D model), based on Paris law with a flaw inserted inside. There by, the critical crack size and the number of cycles to failure was determined as 0.146955mm and 20,957,747 cycles of wheel passage, respectively.

Then, probabilistic reliability model was developed with uncertainties in the detected crack size and final crack size. Thus, using the LEFM approach the reliability to failure was determined using Advanced First Order Reliability Method, Hasofer-Lind Reliability Index, as 96.69%.

Finally, addressing some of the issues associated with probability of failure, an inspection frequency was suggested to be in five months interval based on reducing the long term life cycle cost.

Last, a recommendation is set to future researchers for a development of a detailed maintenance strategy.

description: We present IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer observations of the 12CO(3-2) emission from two far-infrared luminous QSOs at z ~ 2.5 selected from the Herschel-ATLAS survey. These far-infrared bright QSOs were selected to have supermassive black holes (SMBHs) with masses similar to those thought to reside in sub-millimetre galaxies (SMGs) at z ~ 2.5; making them ideal candidates as systems in transition from an ultraluminous infrared galaxy phase to a sub-mm faint, unobscured, QSO. We detect 12CO(3-2) emission from both QSOs and we compare their baryonic, dynamical and SMBH masses to those of SMGs at the same epoch. We find that these far-infrared bright QSOs have similar dynamical but lower gas masses than SMGs. In particular we find that far-infrared bright QSOs have ~50+-23% less warm/dense gas than SMGs, which combined with previous results showing the QSOs lack the extended, cool reservoir of gas seen in SMGs, suggests that they are at a different evolutionary stage. This is consistent with the hypothesis that far-infrared bright QSOs represent a short (~1Myr) but ubiquitous phase in the transformation of dust obscured, gas-rich, starburst-dominated SMGs into unobscured, gas-poor, QSOs.

Tidal interactions in multi-planet systems

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study systems of close orbiting planets evolving under the influence of tidal circularization. It is supposed that a commensurability forms through the action of disk induced migration and orbital circularization. After the system enters an inner cavity or the disk disperses the evolution continues under the influence of tides due to the central star which induce orbital circularization. We derive approximate analytic models that describe the evolution away from a general first order resonance that results from tidal circularization in a two planet system and which can be shown to be a direct consequence of the conservation of energy and angular momentum. We consider the situation when the system is initially very close to resonance and also when the system is between resonances. We also perform numerical simulations which confirm these models and then apply them to two and four planet systems chosen to have parameters related to the GJ581 and HD10180 systems. We also estimate the tidal dissipation rates through effective quality factors that could result in evolution to observed period ratios within the lifetimes of the systems. Thus the survival of, or degree of departure from, close commensurabilities in observed systems may be indicative of the effectiveness of tidal disipation, a feature which in turn may be related to the internal structure of the planets involved.

We reconstruct the currently largest samples of the decay modes $Λ^0_b\rightarrow Λ_c(2595)^+π^-$ (with $Λ_c(2595)^+\rightarrowΛ^+_cπ^+π^-$), $Λ^0_b\rightarrow Λ_c(2625)^+π^-$ (with $Λ_c(2625)^+\rightarrowΛ^+_cπ^+π^-$), $Λ^0_b\rightarrow Σ_c(2455)^{++}π^-π^-$ (with $Σ_c(2455)^{++}\rightarrowΛ^+_cπ^+$), and $Λ^0_b\rightarrow Σ_c(2455)^0π^+π^-$ (with $Σ_c(2455)^0\rightarrowΛ^+_c π^-$) and measure the branching fractions relative to the $Λ^0_b\rightarrowΛ^+_cπ^-$ branching fraction. We measure the ratio $\BR(Λ^0_b\rightarrow Λ^+_cπ^-π^+π^-) /\BR(Λ^0_b\rightarrow Λ^+_c π^-) = 3.04 \pm 0.33(\text{stat})^{+0.70}_{-0.55}(\text{syst})$ which is used to derive $\BR(Λ^0_b\rightarrow Λ^+_cπ^-π^+π^-)= (26.8^{+11.9}_{-11.2})\times10^{-3}$.

As an example we consider a one-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator chain coupled to thermal reservoirs at both ends of the chain. We derive an analytic solution of the Redfield master equation for homogeneous harmonic chain and recover classical results, namely, vanishing temperature gradient and constant heat current in the thermodynamic limit. In the case of the disordered gapped chains we observe universal heat current scaling independent of the bath spectral function, the system-bath coupling strength, and the boundary conditions.

description: We introduce a contrarian opinion (CO) model in which a fraction p of contrarians within a group holds a strong opinion opposite to the opinion held by the rest of the group. At the initial stage, stable clusters of two opinions, A and B exist. Then we introduce contrarians which hold a strong B opinion into the opinion A group. Through their interactions, the contrarians are able to decrease the size of the largest A opinion cluster, and even destroy it. We see this kind of method in operation, e.g when companies send free new products to potential customers in order to convince them to adopt the product and influence others. We study the CO model, using two different strategies, on both ER and scale-free networks. In strategy I, the contrarians are positioned at random. In strategy II, the contrarians are chosen to be the highest degrees nodes. We find that for both strategies the size of the largest A cluster decreases to zero as p increases as in a phase transition. At a critical threshold value p_c the system undergoes a second-order phase transition that belongs to the same universality class of mean field percolation. We find that even for an ER type model, where the degrees of the nodes are not so distinct, strategy II is significantly more effctive in reducing the size of the largest A opinion cluster and, at very small values of p, the largest A opinion cluster is destroyed.

description: Abstract A research gap exists between the capabilities of advanced AI technologies in healthcare and the extent to which clinicians are willing to adopt and use these systems. The discipline of human factors and ergonomics (HFE) is well equipped to address the interaction between AI systems and end-users and its implications in healthcare. The value of AI systems as other health information technologies relies on end users’ willingness and intention to use it. Our study addressed this research gap and leverages expectancy theory to understand the expectations, trust, and perceptions of healthcare professionals related to their intent to use an AI-based blood utilization calculator (BUC). The participants who are users of the BUC system were recruited and administered a survey from a large hospital system in Midwest in 2021. The findings showed the effect of perceived risk (negatively) and expectancy (positively) on clinician’s trust in BUC. Trust was also found to mediate the relationship of Perceived risk and expectancy with the intent to use BUC. The findings of the study established pathways for future research and have implications on factors influencing the use of BUC.

description: The dependence of the one dimensional Bose-Einstein correlation R_1D derived from proton-proton collisions is examined in terms of energy, hadron multiplicity and number of emerging hadronic jets. It is argued that the observed rise of R_1D with energy is the result of the increase of the average number of hadronic jets. It is further shown that by the relative straightforward measurements of R_1D and its chaoticity parameter $λ$ one should be able to estimate the average number of outgoing hadronic jets emitted over the entire final state phase space without the necessity to rely on a particular jet finding algorithm and its associated parameters.

description: A uniform distribution of point defects in an otherwise perfect crystallographic structure usually describes a unique pseudo phase of that state of a non-stoichiometric material. With off-stoichiometric uranium dioxide as a prototype, we show that analogous to a conventional phase transition, these pseudo phases also will transform from one state into another via changing the predominant defect species when external conditions of pressure, temperature, or chemical composition are varied. This exotic transition is numerically observed along shock Hugoniots and isothermal compression curves in UO2 with first-principles calculations. At low temperatures, it leads to anomalies (or quasi-discontinuities) in thermodynamic properties and electronic structures. In particular, the anomaly is pronounced in both shock temperature and the specific heat at constant pressure. With increasing of the temperature, however, it transforms gradually to a smooth cross-over, and becomes less discernible. The underlying physical mechanism and characteristics of this type of transition are encoded in the Gibbs free energy, and are elucidated clearly by analyzing the correlation with the variation of defect populations as a function of pressure and temperature. The opportunities and challenges for a possible experimental observation of this phase change are also discussed.

description: The physical chemist and 1909 Nobel laureate Wilhelm Ostwald (1853-1932) developed broad and multifaceted interests in philosophy (of nature), history (of science) as well as color theory and the international organization of scholarly work. Applying combinatorics, which grew out of his philosophy of nature and which was viewed by Ostwald as a basis for creativity, Ostwald developed a theory of forms and colors. His work influenced marginally the activities of such movements in art like the German Werkbund, the Dutch De Stijl, and the Bauhaus. This poster upports a today more and more visible connection between "in-formation", education as well as art and design.

Forest policy in northeast British Columbia from the 1990s to the early 2000s : comparing approaches to explaining policy change
Creators: name: Chang, Sharon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In the late 1980s and early 1990s, with the increasing concern about protecting environmental values in forest across Canada and in other industrialized nations, many jurisdictions enacted new laws. Much of the new forest legislation was done through the so-called “command and control” approach to strengthen the regulation of forest practices and planning. Although the new regulatory frameworks were successful in forcing private firms and governments to pay greater attention to environmental concerns, they had also raised concerns about regulatory efficiency and cost effectiveness and prompted demands to reduce regulatory burdens and the costs of production. In response, the Government of British Columbia enacted a new regulatory framework that shifted away from detailed prescriptions and process-based approaches to those that are more based on “results” or “performance.” To examine factors explaining such policy change, this dissertation analyzes two forest policy decisions in British Columbia - the revisions to the Forest Practices Code authorizing results-based pilot projects and the Fort St. John Pilot Project in the early 2000s – against two distinct theoretical frameworks. The analysis confirms the utility of the two theoretical frameworks - the Policy Regime Framework and the Advocacy Coalition Framework - in explaining policy change. The findings of this research also reveal the limitations of each of the two theoretical lenses, and suggest that ideas exert an independent causal influence on policies when uncertainty is high, information is incomplete, and the policy goal is shared by policy actors. As a result, a new synthesis of the two theories is presented.
Geometry and stability of spinning branes in AdS gravity

description: The geometry of spinning codimension-two branes in AdS spacetime is analyzed in three and higher dimensions. The construction of non-extremal solutions is based on identifications in the covering of AdS space by isometries that have fixed points. The discussion focuses on the cases where the parameters of spinning states can be related to the velocity of a boosted static codimension-two brane. The resulting configuration describes a single spinning brane, or a set of intersecting branes, each one produced by an independent identification. The nature of the singularity is also examined, establishing that the AdS curvature acquires one in the form of a Dirac delta distribution. The stability of the branes is studied in the framework of Chern-Simons AdS supergravity. A class of branes, characterized by one free parameter, are shown to be stable when the BPS conditions are satisfied. In 3D, these stable branes are extremal, while in higher dimensions, the BPS branes are not the extremal ones.

description: Risk management is crucial for ensuring sustainable outcomes of the EdiCitNet project. To
 minimise negative interferences, WP1 Urban Governance and Network Infrastructure team
 asked all EdiCitNet City Team coordinators to list the major risks in the categories (political,
 social, economic, environmental, organisational risk) that each City Team faces to achieve
 its goals and indicate the likely probability and impact of the identified risk (high, medium
 or low), and propose possible measures for preventing the risk or mitigating the expected
 impacts. All results were aggregated in a table and some mitigation strategies were
 drafted. City-based risk management matrices were shared among all cities and partners to
 encourage shared learning and mutual support with anticipating and solving
 problems. Managing risks and updating the risk management matrices on a regular
 basis was included as a responsibility in the Terms of Reference for each local EdiCitNet city
 team.

Molecular and atomic line surveys of galaxies I: the dense, star-forming phase as a beacon

description: We predict the space density of molecular gas reservoirs in the Universe, and place a lower limit on the number counts of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen cyanide (HCN) molecular and [CII] atomic emission lines in blind redshift surveys in the submillimeter-centimeter spectral regime. Our model uses: (a) recently available HCN Spectral Line Energy Distributions (SLEDs) of local Luminous Infrared Galaxies (LIRGs, L_IR>10^11 L_sun), (b) a value for epsilon=SFR/M_dense(H_2) provided by new developments in the study of star formation feedback on the interstellar medium and (c) a model for the evolution of the infrared luminosity density. Minimal 'emergent' CO SLEDs from the dense gas reservoirs expected in all star-forming systems in the Universe are then computed from the HCN SLEDs since warm, HCN-bright gas will necessarily be CO-bright, with the dense star-forming gas phase setting an obvious minimum to the total molecular gas mass of any star-forming galaxy. We include [CII] as the most important of the far-infrared cooling lines. Optimal blind surveys with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) could potentially detect very distant (z~10-12) [CII] emitters in the >ULIRG galaxy class at a rate of ~0.1-1 per hour (although this prediction is strongly dependent on the star formation and enrichment history at this early epoch), whereas the (high-frequency) Square Kilometer Array (SKA) will be capable of blindly detecting z>3 low-J CO emitters at a rate of ~40-70 per hour. The [CII] line holds special promise for the detection of metal-poor systems with extensive reservoirs of CO-dark molecular gas where detection rates with ALMA can reach up to 2-7 per hour in Bands 4-6.
