Overtime Management System for UNIX Manila Team Telus International Digital Solutions (TIDS)
Creators: name: Asinas, Ma. Rossiya Anne L.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: Capstone

description: The Unix Manila team is a part of Telus International Philippines, Inc.'s Digital Solutions group and consists of 33 systems administrators who provide 24/7 technical support for maintaining the UNIX servers of Telus Communications Canada. To ensure high-quality service to customers, the team occasionally works overtime, which includes covering for absent team members, a practice known as "fill-in." The team previously used a makeshift tool built in Microsoft Sharepoint to manage fill-in requests and track leave projections, however, due to Telus's recent partnership with Google, most applications were migrated to the Google platform and in September 2022, Microsoft Sharepoint was decommissioned. To replace this, the team developed the Overtime Management System (OMS), a web-based system built in PHP, CSS, HTML, JavaScript, Bootstrap, and MariaDB. In addition to the fill-in application and leave tracking, OMS also includes new features such as offset tracking, additional resource management, and report generation. The system is designed to be scalable, reusable, and flexible, allowing for easy migration in the event of future changes to the organization's infrastructure.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Traffic congestion in urban centers presents a pressing challenge for mobility and quality of life. Addressing this issue requires innovative solutions, with a key focus on leveraging the capabilities of autonomous and human-driven vehicles. A crucial aspect of this effort involves integrating parking sign detection technology to alleviate congestion. Despite its promising potential to improve environmental conditions and productivity, the domain of parking sign detection faces substantial challenges stemming from the diversity of sign types, complex detection requirements, and environmental variables. This thesis introduces an innovative approach to the precise detection and recognition of street parking signs, with the aim of integration into vehicle systems. Using our unique and extensive dataset, we conducted a comparative analysis of various object detection networks, aiming to select a model that balances computational efficiency and performance accuracy. Our evaluations revealed the superior performance of the You Only Look Once (YOLO) object detection models, particularly YOLOv7-X at the time, in terms of accuracy and computational complexity. Initially, the YOLOv7-X deep learning network is employed for the detection of parking signs in a dataset comprising videos captured by car cameras in Vancouver. Subsequently, a matching network utilizing the Triplet Loss function is applied for precise identification, while we leverage temporal information to further enhance the accuracy of detection and recognition. Performance evaluation demonstrated the robustness of our approach, yielding a mean Average Precision (mAP) of 97.4% for parking sign detection and a remarkable 91% accuracy in parking sign identification in a dataset of 43 different classes.

description: Our study is a follow-up of the SACY project, an extended survey in the Southern Hemisphere targeted to search for young nearby associations. Nine associations have either been newly identified, or had their member list better defined. These associations, with ages between about 6 Myr and 70 Myr, form an excellent sample to study the Li depletion in the pre-main sequence (PMS) evolution. We investigate the use of Li abundances as an independent clock to constrain the PMS evolution. We have calculated the LTE Li abundances for 376 members of different young associations. In addition we considered the effects of their projected stellar rotation. We present the Li depletion as function of age in the first hundred million years for the first time for the most extended sample of Li abundances in young stellar associations. A clear Li depletion can be measured in the temperature range from 5000K to 3500K for the age span covered by these nine associations. The age sequence based on the Li-clock agrees well with the isochronal ages, $ε$Cha association being the only possible exception. The lithium depletion patterns for those associations resemble those of the young open clusters, strengthening the notion that the members proposed for these loose young associations have indeed a common physical origin. The observed scatter in the Li abundances hampers the use of Li to determine reliable ages for individual stars. Rotation velocities above 20 km s$^{-1}$ seem to inhibit the Li depletion.

description: We perform a perturbative calculation of the influence of dynamical HISQ fermions on the perturbative improvement of the gluonic action in the same way as we have previously done for asqtad fermions. We find the fermionic contributions to the radiative corrections in the Luescher-Weisz gauge action to be somewhat larger for HISQ fermions than for asqtad. Using one-loop perturbation theory as a test, we estimate that omission of the fermion-induced radiative corrections in dynamical asqtad simulations will give a measurable effect. The one-loop result gives a systematic shift of about -0.6% in (r_1/a) on the coarsest asqtad improved staggered ensembles. This is the correct sign and magnitude to explain the scaling violations seen in Phi_B on dynamical lattice ensembles.

description: It is shown that the $E_{6(6)}$ symmetric entropy formula describing black holes and black strings in D=5 is intimately tied to the geometry of the generalized quadrangle GQ$(2,4)$ with automorphism group the Weyl group $W(E_6)$. The 27 charges correspond to the points and the 45 terms in the entropy formula to the lines of GQ$(2,4)$. Different truncations with $15, 11$ and 9 charges are represented by three distinguished subconfigurations of GQ$(2,4)$, well-known to finite geometers; these are the "doily" (i. e. GQ$(2,2)$) with 15, the "perp-set" of a point with 11, and the "grid" (i. e. GQ$(2,1)$) with 9 points, respectively. In order to obtain the correct signs for the terms in the entropy formula, we use a non- commutative labelling for the points of GQ$(2,4)$. For the 40 different possible truncations with 9 charges this labelling yields 120 Mermin squares -- objects well-known from studies concerning Bell-Kochen-Specker-like theorems. These results are connected to our previous ones obtained for the $E_{7(7)}$ symmetric entropy formula in D=4 by observing that the structure of GQ$(2,4)$ is linked to a particular kind of geometric hyperplane of the split Cayley hexagon of order two, featuring 27 points located on 9 pairwise disjoint lines (a distance-3-spread). We conjecture that the different possibilities of describing the D=5 entropy formula using Jordan algebras, qubits and/or qutrits correspond to employing different coordinates for an underlying non-commutative geometric structure based on GQ$(2,4)$.

description: Fixed-target experiments are ideally suited for discovering new MeV-GeV mass U(1) gauge bosons through their kinetic mixing with the photon. In this paper, we identify the production and decay properties of new light gauge bosons that dictate fixed-target search strategies. We summarize existing limits and suggest five new experimental approaches that we anticipate can cover most of the natural parameter space, using currently operating GeV-energy beams and well-established detection methods. Such experiments are particularly timely in light of recent terrestrial and astrophysical anomalies (PAMELA, FERMI, DAMA/LIBRA, etc.) consistent with dark matter charged under a new gauge force.

description: We present a detailed bifurcation structure and associated flow patterns for low-Prandtl number ($P=0.0002, 0.002, 0.005, 0.02$) Rayleigh-Bénard convection near its onset. We use both direct numerical simulations and a 30-mode low-dimensional model for this study. We observe that low-Prandtl number (low-P) convection exhibits similar patterns and chaos as zero-P convection \cite{pal:2009}, namely squares, asymmetric squares, oscillating asymmetric squares, relaxation oscillations, and chaos. At the onset of convection, low-P convective flows have stationary 2D rolls and associated stationary and oscillatory asymmetric squares in contrast to zero-P convection where chaos appears at the onset itself. The range of Rayleigh number for which stationary 2D rolls exist decreases rapidly with decreasing Prandtl number. Our results are in qualitative agreement with results reported earlier.
Exploring TF glue as a new class of therapeutics using high-throughput screens and computational chemistry
Creators: name: Kamali Dehghan, Hadiseh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Transcription factors (TFs) are proteins that bind to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in sequence-specific ways, activating or repressing gene expression of the genes in the vicinity of their binding ¹. Altering a gene’s expression can be an effective therapeutic strategy for many diseases. A possible strategy to regulate gene expression is manipulating the TFs by making use of the biochemistry they bind to DNA with. There are almost 1700 distinct TFs, many of which bind with a low-affinity to the intended regulatory DNA sequence in the genome ². As these TFs bind and release the DNA, transient pockets are formed at the interfaces of adjacently-binding TFs. If a chemical could neatly fit into one of these transient pockets, it would stabilize the binding of these two TFs with this particular DNA sequence and glue them in place. This approach is highly specific as it would only occur in cells that express both adjacently binding TFs, and only at locations in the genome where both TFs bind in a very precise arrangement. In order to establish this new class of therapeutics, two complimentary approaches have been employed. As the mutations in the promoter region of the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene are permissive for different cancers, this regulatory region was studied. Reporter assays were first designed and optimized to measure the activity level of the hTERT promoter. Following making new cell lines with the integrated reporters in their genomes, High-throughput Screening (HTS) was used to identify allele specific modifiers of hTERT promoter; in other words, compounds that could change its expression level. Investigations show that among the tested compound libraries there were some hits that might have the desired effect. Also, as another approach, Interferon-beta (IFN-beta) enhanceosome and its enhancer were investigated for possible compounds that could change the expression level of IFN-beta in Plasmacytoid Dendritic cells (pDCs). Results show that more compounds need to be screened to find possible hits with the desired effects. Since most common diseases result, in part, from genetic changes to regulatory DNA that alter gene expression, this TF glue idea could prove to be broadly applicable.

description: We control the quantum mechanical motion of neutral atoms in an optical lattice by driving microwave transitions between spin states whose trapping potentials are spatially offset. Control of this offset with nanometer precision allows for adjustment of the coupling strength between different motional states, analogous to an adjustable effective Lamb-Dicke factor. This is used both for efficient one-dimensional sideband cooling of individual atoms to a vibrational ground state population of 97%, and to drive coherent Rabi oscillation between arbitrary pairs of vibrational states. We further show that microwaves can drive well resolved transitions between motional states in maximally offset, shallow lattices, and thus in principle allow for coherent control of long range quantum transport.

description: A detailed numerical study of magnetic reconnection in resistive MHD for very large, previously inaccessible, Lundquist numbers ($10^4\le S\le 10^8$) is reported. Large-aspect-ratio Sweet-Parker current sheets are shown to be unstable to super-Alfvénically fast formation of plasmoid (magnetic-island) chains. The plasmoid number scales as $S^{3/8}$ and the instability growth rate in the linear stage as $S^{1/4}$, in agreement with the theory by Loureiro et al. [Phys. Plasmas {\bf 14}, 100703 (2007)]. In the nonlinear regime, plasmoids continue to grow faster than they are ejected and completely disrupt the reconnection layer. These results suggest that high-Lundquist-number reconnection is inherently time-dependent and hence call for a substantial revision of the standard Sweet-Parker quasi-stationary picture for $S>10^4$.

description: To systematically review the literature on hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) after multifetal pregnancy reduction (MFPR). A comprehensive search in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus was performed. Prospective or retrospective studies reporting on MFPR from triplet or higher-order to twin compared to ongoing (i.e., non-reduced) triplets and/or twins were included. A meta-analysis of the primary outcome HDP was carried out using a random-effects model. Subgroup analyses of gestational hypertension (GH) and preeclampsia (PE) were performed. Risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale. Thirty studies with a total of 9,811 women were included. MFPR from triplet to twin was associated with a lower risk for HDP compared to ongoing triplets (OR 0.55, 95% CI, 0.37–0.83; p = 0.004). In a subgroup analysis, the decreased risk of HDP was driven by GH, and PE was no longer significant (OR 0.34, 95% CI, 0.17–0.70; p = 0.004 and OR 0.64, 95% CI, 0.38–1.09; p = 0.10, respectively). HDP was also significantly lower after MFPR from all higher-order (including triplets) to twin compared to ongoing triplets (OR 0.55, 95% CI, 0.38–0.79; p = 0.001). In a subgroup analysis, the decreased risk of HDP was driven by PE, and GH was no longer significant (OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.32–0.92; p = 0.02 and OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.28–1.06; p = 0.08, respectively). No significant differences in HDP were found in MFPR from triplet or higher-order to twin versus ongoing twins. MFPR in women with triplet and higher-order multifetal pregnancies decreases the risk of HDP. Twelve women should undergo MFPR to prevent one event of HDP. These data can be used in the decision-making process of MFPR, in which the individual risk factors of HDP can be taken into account.

description: We study thermal neutralino dark matter in an effective field theory extension of the MSSM, called "Beyond the MSSM" (BMSSM) in Dine, Seiberg and Thomas (2007). In this class of effective field theories, the field content of the MSSM is unchanged, but the little hierarchy problem is alleviated by allowing small corrections to the Higgs/higgsino part of the Lagrangian. We perform parameter scans and compute the dark matter relic density. The light Higgsino LSP scenario is modified the most; we find new regions of parameter space compared to the standard MSSM. This involves interesting interplay between the WMAP dark matter bounds and the LEP chargino bound. We also find some changes for gaugino LSPs, partly due to annihilation through a Higgs resonance, and partly due to coannihilation with light stops in models that are ruled in by the new effective terms.

Transcultural identity and Bangla heritage language teaching
Creators: name: Afreen, Asma
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The new waves of immigrants in Canada have exciting linguistic resources that need to be harnessed for personal, professional, and national interests. While prior studies have investigated the opportunities and challenges of heritage language (HL) community programs, few have explored the negotiation of transcultural identity in HL teaching, particularly with reference to the growing Bangladeshi community. Drawing on a two-year qualitative case study from September 2020 to December 2022, at the community-based Vancouver Bangla School (VBS), this research sought to address this gap by investigating a broad research question: How did Bangla HL teachers navigate their transcultural identity to promote student investment in the learning of Bangla? The study conceptualizes HL teachers’ transcultural identity using four key constructs: identity and investment (Darvin & Norton, 2015), translingual practices (Garcia & Li Wei, 2014), multimodal practices (Kress, 2014), and emotion labor (Benesch & Prior, 2023). The broad research question gave rise to three central research questions: (i) What is the identity of the Bangla HL teacher? (ii) How did VBS teachers leverage show-and-tell tasks to promote student investment in online Bangla HL learning? and (iii) How did volunteer teachers navigate emotion labor, identity, and investment in Bangla HL teaching? Data sources included participant classroom observations, field notes, interviews, a focus group discussion, questionnaires, and educational resources, which were analyzed using thematic analysis. Seven volunteer teachers participated in the study. Findings indicate that teachers were deeply invested in promoting Bangla as a mother tongue in multicultural Canada, with a strong ideological belief in the importance of HL maintenance for cultural continuity. They also embraced the transcultural relationship between Bangladeshi and Canadian culture. Teachers leveraged students’ translingual and multimodal resources using innovative activities like show-and-tell tasks to help students negotiate their transcultural identities. Teachers’ investment in promoting students’ transcultural identities was powerful, enabling them to navigate and manage the emotion labor associated with volunteer teaching and limited resources. The study found that the conceptualization of transcultural identity resists binaries and embraces hybridity. The research contributes to a growing body of literature exploring the complexity of teacher identity and transculturalism in heritage language education.

description: This study aimed to investigate the genetic association between MTHFR (A1298C) SNP and preeclampsia (PE) in Punjab, Pakistan. A sample of 80 pregnant women (40 healthy pregnant women and 40 with PE) was pooled for genotyping MTHFR A1298C polymorphism by using the tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) PCR. The Genotypic and allelic assessments were performed using various statistical techniques. The AC genotype and C allele of MTHFR A1298C were found to be associated with decreased risk of PE (odds ratio [OR]: 0.31, risk ratio [RR]: 0.58, p = 0.01), and (odds ratio [OR]: 0.49, risk ratio [RR]: 0.61, p = 0.04), respectively. In conclusion, genetic polymorphism A1298C in MTHFR may pose a protective effect in the studied population.

description: In this paper we review the modeling of the Local Bubble (LB) with special emphasis on the progress we have made since the last major conference "The Local Bubble and Beyond (I)" held in Garching in 1997. Since then new insight was gained into the possible origin of the LB, with a moving group crossing its volume during the last 10 - 15 Myr being most likely responsible for creating a local cavity filled with hot recombining gas. Numerical high resolution 3D simulations of a supernova driven inhomogeneous interstellar medium show that we can reproduce both the extension of the LB and the OVI column density in absorption measured with FUSE for a LB age of 13.5 - 14.5 Myr. We further demonstrate that the LB evolves like an ordinary superbubble expanding into a density stratified medium by comparing analytical 2D Kompaneets solutions to NaI contours, representing the extension of the local cavity. These results suggest that LB blow-out into the Milky Way halo has occurred roughly 5 Myr ago.

description: We investigate the influence of the central two-body NN correlations on several quantities observed in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. It is demonstrated with explicit Monte Carlo simulations, that the basic correlation measures, such as the fluctuations of participant eccentricity, initial size fluctuations, or the fluctuations of the number of sources producing particles, are all sensitive to the inclusion of the two-body correlations. The effect is at the level of about 10-20%. Moreover, the realistic (Gaussian) correlation function gives indistinguishable results from the hard-core repulsion, with the expulsion distance set to 0.9 fm. Thus, for investigations of the considered correlation measures, it is sufficient to use the Monte Carlo generators accounting for the hard-core repulsion.

description: To study associations between the first-trimester maternal determinants of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) activation and telomere length (TL) in pregnancies conceived natural and after IVF/ICSI. In 145 pregnancies of the Rotterdam Periconception cohort renin, prorenin and aldosterone concentrations were measured in maternal blood at 9 weeks gestational age (GA). TL was measured by qPCR at 20 weeks GA. A significantly negative correlation was found between renin and TL, which was attenuated for prorenin but not observed for aldosterone. Maternal TL was significantly shorter in pregnancies conceived after in-vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) compared to natural pregnancies. The negative association between first-trimester maternal renin and maternal TL, and the shorter maternal TL in women after IVF/ICSI treatment compared to natural pregnancies, substantiates the role of excessive RAAS activation.

description: Introduction—New treatments for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) have been introduced and are expected to improve patients' overall outcomes. We assessed the impact of new therapeutic strategies on outcome and cost of hospitalization among adult patients with AIS in the United States. Methods—Patients with AIS admitted in the United States in 1993–1994 and 2006–2007 were listed using the Nationwide Inpatient Survey database. We determined the rates of occurrence, hospitalization outcomes, and mean hospital charges for all patients. We further analyzed these variables in the ventilated and nonventilated patients. Results—We identified 386,043 patients with AIS admitted in the United States in 1993–1994 and 749,766 patients in 2006–2007. The length of hospitalization was significantly higher in 1993–1994 compared with 2006–2007: 6.9 ± 4.2 days versus 4.66 ± 3 days, respectively. In-hospital mortality rate was 8.9% in 1993–1994 and 5.6% in 2006–2007 (P < 0.0001). There was a significant increase in mean hospital charges in 2006–2007 compared with 1993–1994 ($21,916 ± $14,117 versus $9,646 ± $5,727). The length of hospitalization was significantly shorter in 2006–2007 in nonventilated patients. There was a significant increase in mean hospital charges in 2006–2007 compared with 1993–1994 in both ventilated ($81,528 ± $64,526 versus $25,143 ± $17,172, P<0.0001) and nonventilated patients ($21,085 ± $13,042 versus $10,000 ± $6,300, P<0.0001). The mortality rate was significantly lower in 2006–2007 in both subgroups: 46.5% versus 59.8% in ventilated patients and 4.2% versus 8.2% in nonventilated patients (P < 0.0001). Conclusion—Our study suggests that new therapeutic strategies have improved outcomes and increased cost of hospitalization among adult patients with AIS in the United States over a period of 13 years. The hospitalization cost was significantly higher in the ventilated and nonventilated patients in 2006–2007, which may reflect the impact of new therapeutic strategies, the availability of more intensive care units and stroke centers, and the lower mortality rate in this time period.
Chemical Modelling of Young Stellar Objects, I. Method and Benchmarks

description: Upcoming facilities such as the Herschel Space Observatory or ALMA will deliver a wealth of molecular line observations of young stellar objects (YSOs). Based on line fluxes, chemical abundances can then be estimated by radiative transfer calculations. To derive physical properties from abundances, the chemical network needs to be modeled and fitted to the observations. This modeling process is however computationally exceedingly demanding, particularly if in addition to density and temperature, far UV (FUV) irradiation, X-rays, and multi-dimensional geometry have to be considered. We develop a fast tool, suitable for various applications of chemical modeling in YSOs. A grid of the chemical composition of the gas having a density, temperature, FUV irradiation and X-ray flux is pre-calculated as a function of time. A specific interpolation approach is developed to reduce the database to a feasible size. Published models of AFGL 2591 are used to verify the accuracy of the method. A second benchmark test is carried out for FUV sensitive molecules. The novel method for chemical modeling is more than 250,000 times faster than direct modeling and agrees within a mean factor of 1.35. The tool is distributed for public use. In the course of devloping the method, the chemical evolution is explored: We find that X-ray chemistry in envelopes of YSOs can be reproduced by means of an enhanced cosmic-ray ionization rate. We further find that the abundance of CH+ in low-density gas with high ionization can be enhanced by the recombination of doubly ionized carbon (C++) and suggest a new value for the initial abundance of the main sulphur carrier in the hot-core.

description: (Abridged) We present mass models of a sample of 14 spiral and 14 S0 galaxies that constrain their stellar and dark matter content. For each galaxy we derive the stellar mass distribution from near-infrared photometry under the assumptions of axisymmetry and a constant Ks-band stellar mass-to-light ratio, (M/L)_Ks. To this we add a dark halo assumed to follow a spherically symmetric NFW profile and a correlation between concentration and dark mass within the virial radius, M_DM. We solve the Jeans equations for the corresponding potential under the assumption of constant anisotropy in the meridional plane, beta_z. By comparing the predicted second velocity moment to observed long-slit stellar kinematics, we determine the three best-fitting parameters of the model: (M/L)_Ks, M_DM and beta_z. These simple axisymmetric Jeans models are able to accurately reproduce the wide range of observed stellar kinematics, which typically extend to ~2-3 Re or, equivalently, ~0.5-1 R_25. We find a median stellar mass-to-light ratio at Ks-band of 1.09 (solar units) with an rms scatter of 0.31. We present preliminary comparisons between this large sample of dynamically determined stellar mass-to-light ratios and the predictions of stellar population models. The stellar population models predict slightly lower mass-to-light ratios than we measure. The mass models contain a median of 15 per cent dark matter by mass within an effective radius Re, and 49 per cent within the optical radius R_25. Dark and stellar matter contribute equally to the mass within a sphere of radius 4.1 Re or 1.0 R_25. There is no evidence of any significant difference in the dark matter content of the spirals and S0s in our sample.

description: We present a systematic analysis of backward pion photoproduction for the reactions gamma p -> pi0 p and gamma p -> pi+ n. Regge phenomenology is applied at invariant collision energies above 3 GeV in order to fix the reaction amplitude. A comparision with older data on pi0- and pi+ photoproduction at theta = 180 degrees indicates that the high-energy limit as given by the Regge calculation could be reached possibly at energies of around sqrt{s} = 3 GeV. In the energy region of sqrt{s} < 2.5 GeV, covered by the new measurements of gamma p -> pi0 p differential cross sections at large angles at ELSA, JLab, and LEPS, we see no clear signal for a convergence towards the Regge results. The baryon trajectories obtained in our analysis are in good agreement with those given by the spectrum of excited baryons.

description: Many developing countries are experiencing rapid urban growth, resulting in a high demand for social housing schemes. In Egypt, newly built communities and potential extensions are incompatible with its hot climate due to low aspect ratios, high sky view factors values (SVF) and less shaded areas, which negatively affect outdoor thermal comfort at the pedestrian level. This study aims to find a relationship between density (represented in SVF), Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) and orientation through a sensitivity analysis to improve the thermal comfort of outdoor spaces in new cities. The research was held on the peakiest summer day using a validated ENVI-met simulation model for a residential area in New October city. The simulation results of 36 scenarios with a total of 37,138 spatial grids were examined through sensitivity analysis to quantify the impact of densification parameters like building coverage ratio, floor area ratio, building height variation, and orientation on PET. PET was found to be more sensitive to densification in cardinal directions. With Higher mid-range densities PET at cardinal orientation reached up to 10℃ higher than in diagonal. Also, the results revealed that optimizing density and building heights could improve average PET (08:00 to 18:00) in diagonal orientation with up to 8℃ in the mid-range densities. However, orientation is insignificant in low densities. Out of the tested parameters, densification was found to be the most impactful strategy than height variation. These results can aid in developing public and private housing schemes that are more climate responsive.

description: We address the evolution of higher-order excited states, such as vortex and multi-hump solitons, in nonlocal media with synthetic, competing focusing and defocusing nonlinearities with different nonlocal transverse scales. We reveal that introduction of suitable competing effects makes possible the stabilization of vortex solitons with topological charge m>2, as well as one-dimensional multi-hump solitons with number of humps p>4, all of which are highly unstable in natural nonlocal materials with focusing nonlinearities.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Ensuring an athlete’s health while developing athletic performance is a key objective of coaches and training staff. Current literature supports the importance of monitoring training load and its effect on athletic performance; however, there is limited research examining the effects in female athletes. Therefore, we sought to examine the effects of training load on performance, cardiovascular function, anthropometry in female collegiate soccer players. Moreover, we aimed to examine the relationships between resting cardiovascular function and performance measures while controlling for anthropometry. The data was analyzed used a Pearson correlation coefficient (r) and multiple regression analysis (R²). Owing to the potential confounding effects of changes in anthropometric indices, body composition (body mass index & body fat percentage) indices were also used as covariates in separate analyses of resting cardiovascular function and physical performance measures. The results yielded several negative correlations between between training load and athletic performance, revealing that sprints had the biggest impact on performance for LRS at 5 metres (r = -0.53, p <0.01), 10 metres (r = -0.54, p <0.01) vertical jump height (r = -0.35, p <0.05) and the YoYo test (r = -0.42, p <0.05). The findings of this investigation reveal that there is a critical balance between preseason training load and recovery time for cardiovascular function and sport performance. Coaches and athletes alike should pay particular attention to preseason training load and recovery time to help ensure optimal sport performance.
