description: From a financial point of view, the Ottoman entry into World War I was both impossible and necessary. According to the Finance Minister Cavid Bey, following successive conflicts in Tripoli and the Balkans since 1911 the empire could hardly fund another war given its exceedingly gloomy financial situation. A generous German offer of a gold loan, and pledges for more, however, would suffice, along with political calculations, for the Ottoman declaration of war against the Entente Powers. The question was whether the Sublime Porte could rely on German support throughout the war. And if not, how would it manage to fund the war on its own resources?

Effects of ligand tuning on dinuclear indium catalysts for the polymerization of lactide
Creators: name: Osten, Kimberly Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: We are interested in the biodegradable polymer poly(lactic acid) (PLA) formed from the ring-opening polymerization of lactide. Our promising results on the polymerization of racemic lactide to form isotactically enriched PLA by a dinuclear indium catalyst bearing a chiral diaminophenolate ligand prompted us to investigate several ligand modifications in order to establish detailed structure-activity relationships within these complexes. Modifications to the terminal amine substituents, the central amine donors and the phenolate substituents of our tridentate ligands were undertaken. The factors affecting the stereoselectivity and activity of these indium catalysts were investigated in detail. Finally, pentadentate dinucleating ligands were used to synthesize dinuclear indium complexes with the goal of producing more stereoselective and/or active catalysts. Modifications to our tridentate ligand system led to complications in their coordination to indium, possibly due to flexibility of the ligands leading to aggregation. It was found that bulkier substituents on the terminal amine position of these ligands led to a lowering of the isoselectivity of the resulting indium complexes due to dissociation of the dimers during the polymerization of lactide. Changing the central amine donors from secondary to tertiary amines led to a profound decrease in polymerization rate. The contributions of intramolecular hydrogen bonding in these dimers on their resulting polymerization activity was explored. However, the nature of the amine, not hydrogen bonding, was found to be the determining factor in their activity towards lactide polymerization. Increasing the steric bulk of the phenolate substituents was found to influence the structure of indium dichloride complexes made with these ligands in solution and the solid state. However, these modifications were found to have only minor impact on the lactide polymerization activity and stereoselectivity of the related dinculear indium ethoxide complexes. A family of pentadentate proligands was utilized for the formation of dinuclear indium ethoxide complexes for the polymerization of racemic lactide. However, only one dinuclear indium ethoxide complex could be isolated cleanly. It was found to have low activity in the polymerization of racemic lactide, requiring weeks to reach full conversion. However, the complex was highly stereoselective producing over 90% heterotactic PLA.

description: In this paper we have studied the critical phenomena in higher curvature charged black holes in the anti-de Sitter (AdS) space-time. As an example we have considered the third order Lovelock-Born-Infeld black holes in AdS space-time. We have analytically derived the thermodynamic quantities of the system. Our analysis revealed the onset of a higher order phase transition in the black hole leading to an infinite discontinuity in the specific heat at constant charge at the critical points. Our entire analysis is based on the canonical framework where we have fixed the charge of the black hole. In an attempt to study the behavior of the thermodynamic quantities near the critical points we have derived the critical exponents of the system explicitly. Although the values of the critical points have been determined numerically, the critical exponents are calculated analytically. Our results fit well with the thermodynamic scaling laws. The scaling hypothesis is also seen to be consistent with these scaling laws. We find that all types of AdS black holes, studied so far, indeed belong to the same universality class. Moreover these results are consistent with the mean field theory approximation. We have derived the suggestive values of the other two critical exponents associated with the correlation function and correlation length on the critical surface.

Establishing and stabilizing knowledge of psychedelics and designer drugs on Wikipedia

Wikipedia has developed into a source of knowledge in recent years that challenges traditional encyclopediae. It was founded in 2001, and contains today more than 40 million articles in almost 300 languages. The platform is based on the principle of open knowledge: everyone can read the articles, and everyone can contribute knowledge. In reality, however, most Wikipedia value is produced by dominant groups of editors: 40% of Wikipedia’s content is contributed by roughly 0.1% of the editors (Priedhorsky et al, 2007). At the same time, Wikipedia’s policies push for scientific sources, in order to provide the most reliable knowledge (Jimmy Wales, 2014).

In the ChemicalYouth research group at the University of Amsterdam, we wondered how these trends, the elite of editors, and the formalization of sources in Wikipedia, are expressed in articles about psychoactive and designer drugs. We are interested in drugs which are located at the fringes of the biomedical life sciences, such as Ayahuasca and LSD, and in substances which are newly created by communities of hobby chemists and so-called psychonauts. Information about such substances is often located in grey literature and created through non-experimental research.

During a data sprint between 11-15th July 2016, we gathered anthropologists Moritz Berning, Aleksi Hupli, and Lisa Krieg, digital media scholar Natalia Sanchez-Querubin, statistician Louis Dijkstra, and designers Matteo Azzi, Gabriele Colombo, and Giorgio Uboldi in order to explore two questions:

	How does knowledge about risks and potential benefits of drugs travel in Wikipedia?

	How is knowledge about (new) designer drugs established?

We focused our explorations on two different sets of substances:

	a set of rather well-known psychoactive substances, which are controversially discussed in terms of their risks and potential benefits, and
	a set of roughly 500 designer drugs, psychoactive substances about most of which relatively little knowledge is established. The results are presented here on this website

description: The Russian navy was suspicious of Swedish neutrality in 1914, as Sweden had been arming itself for many years, and almost unwittingly dragged the country into the war. Russia was seen as the main threat to Sweden, but Germany and Britain were also perceived as potential aggressors. The navy bore the main burden of protecting Sweden’s neutrality during the following years, and also played a major role during the Swedish expedition to the Åland Islands in 1918. However, Sweden failed to acquire Åland after the war, and eventually became disappointed in the League of Nations and collective security.

The government’s strategy to enforce neutrality was based on censorship, and applied to war films from both sides of the conflict. The country’s internal instability was aggravated by the effects of the war and led to the central government’s censorship activities, especially in late 1916. Despite this, the supporters of each side managed to make film exhibition a cultural battleground.

Missing from politics : the missing children of Canada's Indian residential schools
Creators: name: Sammons, Elise
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: This paper explores The Missing Children Project of the Canadian Truth and Reconciliation Commission and examines the responses of communities and families of children who died or went missing in the residential school system from the 1870s to 1996. It uses Jenny Edkins’ discussion of how responses to missing persons and demands for information about their whereabouts, or in some cases, the circumstances of their deaths, represents a different kind of politics, one that acknowledges the person-as-such. Edkins’ framework is used to analyze comments from family and friends of some missing students and to examine family and community commemoration efforts. The paper also examines some of the Canadian federal government’s responses to the broader demand of recognition and to the Missing Children Project. The residential school system as a whole exemplified a type of politics that sought to reduce its victims to bare life; this is particularly evident in the way that deaths within the schools were handled: families were often not informed about the deaths of their children, and if they were, they were provided no details on the circumstances of their death and location of their burial. By demanding answers from the federal government, the families and communities of the missing insist on recognition, reclaiming the personhood of these victims, and seek a different type of political relationship with the Canadian state, a relationship which has at its centre an acknowledgement of the person-as-such.

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: The classical motion of gliding dislocation lines in slip planes of crystalline solid helium leads to plastic deformation even at temperatures far below the Debye temperature and can affect elastic properties. In this work we argue that the gliding of dislocations and plasticity may be the origin of many observed elastic anomalies in solid He-4, which have been argued to be connected to supersolidity. We present a dislocation motion model that describes the stress-strain $τ$-$ε$ curves and work hardening rate $dτ/dε$ of a shear experiment performed at constant strain rate $\dotε$ in solid helium. The calculated $dτ/dε$ exhibits strong softening with increasing temperature due to the motion of dislocations, which mimics anomalous softening of the elastic shear modulus $μ$. In the same temperature region the motion of dislocations causes dissipation with a prominent peak.

Films and photography established a new visual language to depict the war. Yet, the discourse about the war also involved established print media. Official histories and memoirs became key elements of the post-war debate. Overall, the media discourse reflected the political conflicts of the period and the tensions between modern and traditional forms of collective memory.

description: We analyze leptogenesis in the context of seesaw models with almost conserved lepton number, focusing on the L-conserving contribution to the flavoured CP asymmetries. We find that, contrary to previous claims, successful leptogenesis is feasible for masses of the lightest heavy neutrino as low as M1 ~ 10^6 GeV, without resorting to the resonant enhancement of the CP asymmetry for strongly degenerate heavy neutrinos. This lower limit renders thermal leptogenesis compatible with the gravitino bound in supersymmetric scenarios.

description: We consider the recurrence and transience problem for a time-homogeneous Markov chain on the real line with transition kernel $p(x,\mathrm{d}y)=f_x(y-x)\,\mathrm{d}y$, where the density functions $f_x(y)$, for large $|y|$, have a power-law decay with exponent $α(x)+1$, where $α(x)\in(0,2)$. In this paper, under a uniformity condition on the density functions $f_x(y)$ and an additional mild drift condition, we prove that when $\lim\inf_{|x|\longrightarrow\infty}α(x)>1$, the chain is recurrent. Similarly, under the same uniformity condition on the density functions $f_x(y)$ and some mild technical conditions, we prove that when $\lim\sup_{|x|\longrightarrow\infty}α(x)<1$, the chain is transient. As a special case of these results, we give a new proof for the recurrence and transience property of a symmetric $α$-stable random walk on $\mathbb {R}$ with the index of stability $α\in(0,1)\cup(1,2).$

description: Hintergrund: Ziel ist die Darstellung der Belastungen Medizinstudierender durch depressive Symptome in verschiedenen Stadien des Studiums mit Fokus auf „Risikofaktoren“ & „Schutzfaktoren“. Methoden: Es wurden n=1103 Medizinstudierende zu depressiven Symptomen (BDI-II) und korrelierenden Faktoren (Fragebogen) befragt. Ergebnisse: Die Prävalenz depressiver Symptome betrug 11 % für leichte, 5,6 % für mittelschwere & 2,4 % für schwere Symptome. Signifikante Prädiktoren für depressive Symptome waren Neurotizismus, als unzureichend erlebte emotionale Unterstützung, die Einnahme unregelmäßiger Mahlzeiten, Einnahme von Medikamenten oder Drogen zur Selbstberuhigung und subjektives Überforderungserleben. "Schutzfaktoren" waren: Zeit mit Partner, Freunden, Familie, Hobbys und Sport verbringen; und Kommilitonen eigene Sorgen anvertrauen. Schlussfolgerungen: Jeder fünfte befragte Medizinstudierende berichtete von depressiven Symptomen. Es konnten korrelierende Faktoren identifiziert werden.
description: Background: The aim of this study is to show the burden of depressive symptoms on medical students at different stages of academic medical education with a focus on correlated risk factors and protective factors. Methods: N=1103 medical students were surveyed on depressive symptoms (via BDI-II) and correlating factors (via survey). Results: The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 11% for mild, 5.6% for moderate, and 2.4% for severe symptoms. Significant predictors for depressive symptoms were neuroticism, insufficient emotional support, eating irregular meals, use of medication or drugs to calm down, and mental overload. "Protective" factors were: Spending time with partner, friends, family, hobbies and exercise; and confiding worries to classmates. Conclusions: Every fifth medical student reported at least mild depressive symptoms. Neuroticism and insufficient emotional support were found to be closely correlated with depressive symptoms.

A metagenomic search for glycoside phosphorylases using a phosphate dependent 2,4-dinitrophenyl glycoside colorimetric assay
Creators: name: Macdonald, Spence
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZymes) comprise a large class of enzymes responsible for the assembly and degradation of glycans in biological systems. CAZymes are widely employed enzymes in industry, being used in brewing and food processing, animal feed preparation, industrial pulp and paper applications and increasingly in biofuel development. While the use of CAZymes is cost-effective in glycan degradation, glycan assembly generally requires the use of expensive nucleotide sugar phosphates as a starting material. The high cost of these materials makes an assembly approach towards industrial-scale glycan synthesis difficult and usually non-viable. One class of CAZyme that has received little attention from industry is that of the glycoside phosphorylases (GPases), which offer a potential solution to the high-costs associated with glycan synthesis. These enzymes bypass the need for expensive nucleotide sugar phosphates, and thus, we believe that approaches employing GPases will be of high market value. The bottleneck in this approach to glycan synthesis currently is the very limited range of GPases available, limiting the classes of glycan that can be assembled. To help increase the spectrum of known GPases available, we have turned to metagenomics as means to discover new enzymes belonging to this family. This will involve high-throughput (HT) screening of bacterial genome fragments recovered directly from the environment for expression of novel GPases. Here, we report the development of a novel HT screening methodology that allows the screening of large libraries constructed from metagenomic DNA. A dual approach is described using functional screening and bioinformatic techniques. By using a synthetic substrate analogue that produces a colorimetric response when processed by a GPase we are able to identify functional candidates from libraries containing upwards of 25 000 clones at a time. Likewise, utilising previous sequence data accumulated by our collaborators (Hallam Lab), we were able to identify GPases based on sequence homology. To date, through this screening methodology we have discovered 5 new GPases and a new class of CAZymes: the stereochemistry-retaining β-glycoside phosphorylases.

description: Almost all New Zealanders made sense of the Great War within the context of three interlocking communities of loyalty: their membership in the British Empire, the district in which they lived, and their families. Despite the country’s remoteness from battle, the war and its attendant anxieties infiltrated all areas of life. Ideas of duty, sacrifice, and loyalty were circulated and reinforced through everyday interactions within communities. The intimate space of the family was an area in which doubt and dissent were sometimes expressed, as kin were increasingly worn down by anguish and loss.

description: We introduce an analytical iterative method, the density matrix recursion method, to generate arbitrary reduced density matrices of superpositions of short-range dimer coverings on periodic or non-periodic quantum spin-1/2 ladder lattices, with an arbitrary number of legs. The method can be used to calculate bipartite as well as multipartite physical properties, including bipartite and multi-partite entanglement. We apply this technique to distinguish between even- and odd-legged ladders. Specifically, we show that while genuine multi-partite entanglement decreases with increasing system size for the even-legged ladder states, it does the opposite for odd-legged ones.

description: Burma’s participation in World War I was limited mainly to the provision of troops and engineering units to the Palestine and Mesopotamian Fronts as well as labourers to the Western Front and hosting Turkish and German prisoners-of-war. Nevertheless, the war had a serious economic impact on the colony as well as important political repercussions.

description: We investigate the competition between d-wave superconductivity and nematic order in high-$T_c$ superconductor, and examine the role played by gapless fermionic degrees of freedom. Apart from the competitive interaction with the superconducting order parameter, the nematic order parameter couples strongly to gapless nodal quasiparticles. The interplay of these two kinds of interactions is analyzed by means of renormalization group method. In case the fermionic degree of freedom are entirely neglected, the competitive interaction between two bosonic order parameters is strongly relevant, and can lead to runaway behavior. However, these properties are fundamentally changed once the dynamics of fermions are taken into account. At the nematic quantum critical point where an extreme fermion velocity anisotropy occurs, the superconducting and nematic order parameters are decoupled from each other. Consequently, the phase transitions are continuous, and d-wave superconductivity can coexist with nematic order homogeneously. These results indicate that the gapless fermions can play an important role and should be carefully included in the theoretical description of competing orders.

description: Consider a decision maker who is responsible to dynamically collect observations so as to enhance his information about an underlying phenomena of interest in a speedy manner while accounting for the penalty of wrong declaration. Due to the sequential nature of the problem, the decision maker relies on his current information state to adaptively select the most ``informative'' sensing action among the available ones. In this paper, using results in dynamic programming, lower bounds for the optimal total cost are established. The lower bounds characterize the fundamental limits on the maximum achievable information acquisition rate and the optimal reliability. Moreover, upper bounds are obtained via an analysis of two heuristic policies for dynamic selection of actions. It is shown that the first proposed heuristic achieves asymptotic optimality, where the notion of asymptotic optimality, due to Chernoff, implies that the relative difference between the total cost achieved by the proposed policy and the optimal total cost approaches zero as the penalty of wrong declaration (hence the number of collected samples) increases. The second heuristic is shown to achieve asymptotic optimality only in a limited setting such as the problem of a noisy dynamic search. However, by considering the dependency on the number of hypotheses, under a technical condition, this second heuristic is shown to achieve a nonzero information acquisition rate, establishing a lower bound for the maximum achievable rate and error exponent. In the case of a noisy dynamic search with size-independent noise, the obtained nonzero rate and error exponent are shown to be maximum.

Therapeutic exploration of the coming out experience for lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and queer identified clients
Creators: name: Crotty, Ann Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The purpose of this research was to examine the meaning as perceived by lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and queer (LGBQ) clients of sharing a coming out experience with a therapist. Using a descriptive phenomenological research design, 5 in-depth interviews were conducted with self-identified lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and queer clients asking “What is the meaning for LGBQ individuals of exploring the ‘coming out’ experience in therapy?” Qualitative data were analyzed to produce a general structure representative of the participant’s experiences. Structures revealed include: (a) Experiencing a safe space; (b) Experiencing a contrasting reaction and (c) The experience of connection in a counselling relationship. This study contributes to our understanding of how this particular sharing experience is perceived by LGBQ individuals. Implications to the field of counselling are discussed and recommendations for best practice made. Areas for future research are also suggested.

description: We consider the problem of deforming simultaneously a pair of given structures. We show that such deformations are governed by an L-infinity algebra, which we construct explicitly. Our machinery is based on Th. Voronov's derived bracket construction. In this paper we consider only geometric applications, including deformations of coisotropic submanifolds in Poisson manifolds, of twisted Poisson structures, and of complex structures within generalized complex geometry. These applications can not be, to our knowledge, obtained by other methods such as operad theory.

A Comparison of the Embedding Method to Multi-Parametric Programming, Mixed-Integer Programming, Gradient-Descent, and Hybrid Minimum Principle Based Methods

description: In recent years, the embedding approach for solving switched optimal control problems has been developed in a series of papers. However, the embedding approach, which advantageously converts the hybrid optimal control problem to a classical nonlinear optimization, has not been extensively compared to alternative solution approaches. The goal of this paper is thus to compare the embedding approach to multi-parametric programming, mixed-integer programming (e.g., CPLEX), and gradient-descent based methods in the context of five recently published examples: a spring-mass system, moving-target tracking for a mobile robot, two-tank filling, DC-DC boost converter, and skid-steered vehicle. A sixth example, an autonomous switched 11-region linear system, is used to compare a hybrid minimum principle method and traditional numerical programming. For a given performance index for each case, cost and solution times are presented. It is shown that there are numerical advantages of the embedding approach: lower performance index cost (except in some instances when autonomous switches are present), generally faster solution time, and convergence to a solution when other methods may fail. In addition, the embedding method requires no ad hoc assumptions (e.g., predetermined mode sequences) or specialized control models. Theoretical advantages of the embedding approach over the other methods are also described: guaranteed existence of a solution under mild conditions, convexity of the embedded hybrid optimization problem (under the customary conditions on the performance index), solvability with traditional techniques (e.g., sequential quadratic programming) avoiding the combinatorial complexity in the number of modes/discrete variables of mixed-integer programming, applicability to affine nonlinear systems, and no need to explicitly assign discrete/mode variables to autonomous switches.
