description: We observe clamping of the output spatial light distribution of a waveguide array. Using a chirped pulse amplifier we reach peak intensities in the waveguides of ~24 GW/cm2. At this level, three photon absorption in the AlGaAs material clamps the discrete spatial soliton to a set distribution. Further increase in intensity does not change the distribution.

description: Gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH) is a hypothalamic neuropeptide named for its ability to inhibit gonadotropin (GTH) production in birds and mammals. Subsequently, variants of GnIH peptides have been discovered in different vertebrate species, including teleosts. In amphibians, GnIH was found to stimulate growth hormone (GH) release, suggesting a role in the regulation of somatic growth. These findings indicate that GnIH is an important component of the multifactorial control of reproduction and growth. However, information on physiological significance of GnIH is rather limited, and much less is known regarding the functions of these peptides in teleosts. The main purpose of my thesis was to study the physiological role of goldfish GnIH (gGnIH) in the regulation of basal and native gonadotropin-releasing hormone-induced GTH and GH expression and secretion, in vivo and in vitro. The findings highlight the importance of seasonality and stage of gonadal recrudescence, and provide evidence for both direct and indirect actions of gGnIH, which resulted in both stimulation and inhibition of GTH and GH production. In goldfish, gGnIH can uncouple GTH and GH synthesis and release, as well as differentially regulate FSH- and LH-β mRNA expression in a seasonally-dependent manner. Additionally, the presence of gGnIH and gGnIH receptor (gGnIH-R) in the goldfish ovary and testis was the basis for studying its direct action on cultured gonads. Treatment with gGnIH altered the expression of genes involved in gonadal functions, providing a strong support for the hypothesis that gGnIH plays a role in the paracrine/autocrine regulation of gonadal functions in goldfish. The findings in this thesis indicate that gGnIH plays a complex role in multifactorial control of growth and reproduction in goldfish, as compared to a dominant inhibitory role in the regulation of the gonadotropic axis as observed in higher vertebrates. Furthermore, the results presented provide novel information on the physiological functions of gGnIH in goldfish at the level of multiple target tissues, and provide a framework for understanding the role of gGnIH in the multifactorial control of reproduction and growth in teleosts.

description: A classification of spanning surfaces for alternating links is provided up to genus, orientability, and a new invariant that we call aggregate slope. That is, given an alternating link, we determine all possible combinations of genus, orientability, and aggregate slope that a surface spanning that link can have. To this end, we describe a straightforward algorithm, much like Seifert's Algorithm, through which to construct certain spanning surfaces called layered surfaces. A particularly important subset of these will be what we call basic layered surfaces. We can alter these surface by performing the entirely local operations of adding handles and/or crosscaps, each of which increases genus. The main result then shows that if we are given an alternating projection P(L) and a surface S spanning L, we can construct a surface T spanning L with the same genus, orientability, and aggregate slope as S that is a basic layered surface with respect to P, except perhaps at a collection of added crosscaps and/or handles. Furthermore, S must be connected if L is non-splittable. This result has several useful corollaries. In particular, it allows for the determination of nonorientable genus for alternating links. It also can be used to show that mutancy of alternating links preserves nonorientable genus. And it allows one to prove that there are knots that have a pair of minimal nonorientable genus spanning surfaces, one boundary-incompressible and one boundary-compressible.

Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Synaptic Specificity

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Neuroscience
subject: synapse formation
subject: Menin
subject: Synaptophysin

description: All nervous system functions rely upon the specificity of synapse formation and maturation, and the experience-dependent remodeling of established synapses. Activity- and neurotrophic factor (NTF)-dependent signaling events guide the appropriate expression and localization of various components of pre- and postsynaptic machinery to ensure synaptic network function is matched to the behavioral requirements of an animal. These processes govern the function of the individual synapses formed by any given neuron, although the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms have not been fully defined. To determine postsynaptic mechanisms of synaptic specificity, I investigated the role of menin, the product of the MEN1 tumor suppressor gene, in promoting cholinergic postsynaptic function in response to NTFs. Here, I present the first direct evidence for the molecular actions of menin in neurons, which coordinates the selective transcriptional upregulation and postsynaptic clustering of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR). This occurs through distinct actions of proteolytic fragments generated by activity-dependent calpain cleavage. These data identify a novel synaptogenic mechanism for the coordination of nuclear transcription and postsynaptic localization of neurotransmitter receptors by a single gene product, and identify menin as a candidate molecular scaffold for neuronal nAChR clustering. To determine presynaptic mechanisms of synaptic specificity, I investigated how a co-transmitting neuron selectively employs classical or peptide neurotransmitters at synapses with distinct postsynaptic targets. Here, I present the first evidence that the function of individual presynaptic terminals is differentiated in a target cell-specific manner by an interplay between NTF and retrograde arachidonic acid signaling. I found that presynaptic transmitter specificity was defined by regulated synaptophysin expression, which selectively inhibited neuropeptide release machinery. These observations identify a novel role for synaptophysin in the regulation of peptidergic synaptic transmission, and a new component of NTF-dependent synaptic plasticity through which the co-transmitter characteristics of individual presynaptic terminals are regulated. Together, these studies delineate novel mechanisms underlying activity- and NTF-dependent synaptic specificity, underscoring the importance of appropriate expression and localization of synaptic machinery in controlling neuronal network function via the specialization of individual synapses. These findings provide fundamental mechanistic insights into the neurodevelopmental, neuropsychiatric, and neurodegenerative disorders in which these processes are disrupted.

description: The structure of the control network of transnational corporations affects global market competition and financial stability. So far, only small national samples were studied and there was no appropriate methodology to assess control globally. We present the first investigation of the architecture of the international ownership network, along with the computation of the control held by each global player. We find that transnational corporations form a giant bow-tie structure and that a large portion of control flows to a small tightly-knit core of financial institutions. This core can be seen as an economic "super-entity" that raises new important issues both for researchers and policy makers.

description: The dominant visual trope in my work is the single, isolated figure in an exterior, usually public, place. Focused on the human concerns of disconnection and unfinished journeys, I anchor my art in personal experience as a source of knowledge. Having the quality of a pentimento, the artwork I make is a visualization of experience, as a telling and retelling of the past, contingent on the present. The work is an on-going elaboration and discovery of aspects of the personal, one characterized by irrevocable change and turning points. Adapting the methodology of interpretive autoethnography to my lived experience—as a former caregiver for a relative with Alzheimer’s Disease and aphasia—I frame the personal with theories of the liminal passage. To model these ideas visually, I enlarged a lens-based practice from the single digital photograph to photomontage and currently to the moving image as digital video. This document is a record of the evolution of my art practice while in the MFA program.

description: My dissertation examined how encoding strategies, recall, and metamemory shift across two study-test experiences. Differential recall of generate targets and read targets on Test 1 led participants to develop an improved encoding strategy for their more poorly recalled target type, thus eliminating differential recall on Test 2 (Experiment 1-3). However, recall also improved across tests for groups that were not tested on both target types on Test 1 (Experiment 2), and for groups that studied and recalled only one target type (Experiment 1). Participants’ reported strategies (Experiment 1) and metamemory judgments (Experiment 3) were used to elucidate how and when people modify their encoding strategies in an effort to improve future memory performance. Overall, the present study confirmed that people can learn about the effectiveness of a study strategy both during studying and on a test, and revealed that this learning is more ubiquitous and varied than previous research suggested.

description: Networked infrastructures of capillary nature have lately been in emergence for a particular variety of machine type communication involving miniaturized sensors and actuators as densely located end-nodes. As an enabler of pervasive systems, these networks facilitate interplay among a wide range of applications such as ambient intelligence, safety and security, smart grid/energy services and utility control. With largely event-driven packet traffic, random access schemes are a logical choice at the medium access control layer in these networks. Yet, the large scale of the networks within the link layer neighborhood, the low- power nature of most of the end-nodes, and the potential imperative to prioritize critical traffic pose fundamental challenge to random access regarding efficiency and flexibility. This thesis addresses the challenge considering carrier sense multiple access (CSMA) based schemes from an analytic modeling approach. Leveraging the infrastructure-based setting expected in the access network, investigations have been undertaken on assessing ways for priority-provisioning and optimizing performance. First, a conventional variant of the CSMA protocol embodying a fixed provision for priority is modeled with stochastic formulation and the throughput and packet service time performance are evaluated. In a similar track, a CSMA protocol is modeled in tractable form to determine throughput optimizing condition in conjunction with granting arbitrary degrees of priority. Flexible prioritizing with optimality for a related CSMA scheme is also studied with an immediately enforcing mechanism for differentiation. Second, accounting for intermittent packet traffic within the access network, an algorithmic solution is produced for the coordinator to estimate time-varying random access contention, leading to high CSMA utilization on-the-fly with fairness among the nodes and low temporal dispersion. Lastly, CSMA has been modeled and analyzed considering multi-packet reception capacity at the underlying physical layer, leading to the determination of a suitable backoff scheme for the task. The solutions are a step towards instilling self-organizing capacity into the multifaceted, software-defined systems in emergence for managing operations of the related networks.

description: In correlated electron materials, the application of many-body techniques for the study of interaction effects or unconventional superconductivity often requires the formulation of an effective low-energy model that contains only the relevant bands near the Fermi level. However the bands away from the Fermi level are known to renormalize the low-energy interactions substantially. Here we compare different schemes to derive low-energy effective theories for interacting electrons in solids. The frequently used constrained random phase approximation (cRPA) is identified as a particular resummation of higher-order interaction terms that includes important virtual corrections. We then propose an adapted functional renormalization group (fRG) scheme that includes the cPRA, but also allows one to go beyond the cRPA approximation. We study a simple two-band model in order to explore the differences between the approximations.

description: The search was performed for cataclysmic variable stars with outlying infrared magnitudes in USNO-B1.0 catalog. The selection was limited to objects in the Northern hemisphere with (B1-R1) < 1 and (R2-I) > 3.5. The search method is described, and the details on individual stars are given. In total 27 variable objects were found with 20 being the previously known ones and 7 - new discoveries. 4 of newly found variables are dwarf novae, while the remaining 3 - pulsating red variables of Mira or semi-regular types, including a heavily reddened one in Pelican nebula. The correct pulsation period is determined for two stars discovered by other researchers, and the dwarf nova nature is confirmed for another object previously suspected as such. The perspectives of the proposed search technique in the framework of Virtual Observatory are also discussed.

description: The goal of this thesis was to develop a deeper understanding of electrical and second messenger communication in small resistance arteries, and how these key biological processes influence vascular contractility and blood flow control. To achieve this goal, we pursued three defined objectives. First, we determined why electrical responses initiated in smooth muscle fail to spread to neighboring cells like their endothelial counterparts. A functional assessment complemented by computational modeling revealed that the structural and connectivity properties of vascular cells play a key role in determining how charge moves asymmetrically among vascular cells. As such, certain cell-specific responses will conduct robustly from cell-to-cell while others will not. Second, we examined the nature of electrical communication in arterial networks and how this key biological process impacts on blood flow control. Once again, using a combination of functional experimentation and computational modeling, we observed that vessel length and branching play a role in determining how electrical phenomenon conduct within a network and influence blood flow control. Further, this work re-emphasizes the essential role of the endothelium in electrical communication and how a modest change in this layer’s coupling, due to disease, can compromise network perfusion. Lastly, using an integrated experimental approach, we explored whether second messengers could cross myoendothelial gap junctions and elicit a feedback response that limits constriction. This pathway begins with agonists inducing smooth muscle cell depolarization and a rise in second messenger concentration. Next, IP3 fluxes across myoendothelial gap junctions and elicits inducible Ca2+ wavelets, an event that in turn activates endothelial IK channels. The resulting hyperpolarization then moderates iv the initial depolarization of smooth muscle. Overall, the findings arising from the three objectives shed new light onto the basis of vasomotor and blood flow control in the resistance vasculature.

description: API documentation presents both a problem and an opportunity for API usability. REST APIs provide interconnectivity between applications over HTTP. Documentation of a REST API is a key information source for API client developers. Most REST APIs are documented using a manual approach, which can be time consuming and error-prone. REST API developers need to efficiently document their APIs with qualities that make the API usable. In this research, I focused on the topic of automated REST API documentation to satisfy this need. In this thesis, I present and evaluate a novel technique to solve REST API documentation requirements. I present a set of REST API documentation requirements by studying the existing literature and the current industry practice. From this study, I observed that REST APIs evolve frequently, but used a manual or bespoke approach for generating and maintaining their documentation. I present, SpyREST, a reusable technique with a prototype implementation to automate the REST API documentation process with executable API usage examples. The technique involves the interception of example REST API calls from API test code using an HTTP proxy server to auto-generate an accurate and updated REST API documentation. I present an industrial evaluation of the proposed technique based on a period of eighteen months of production use. From this study, I found that it was feasible to leverage API test code to automatically generate an always-updated REST API documentation for evolving REST APIs with usage examples. To evaluate the impact of usage examples on REST API client developers, I performed a controlled study with experienced REST API developers. From this case study, I found that REST API client developers faced patterns of obstacles using REST APIs that can be reduced by including API usage examples in the API documentation, as suggested in the proposed technique. The findings of this research can be used as a guideline for practitioners to automatically generate REST API documentation with usage examples. Researchers can extend the novel concept of using interception to automatically document API usage examples for other forms of APIs.

description: No apparent correlation was found between giant pulses (GPs) and X-ray photons from the Crab pulsar during 5.4 hours of simultaneous observations with the Green Bank Telescope at 1.5 GHz and Chandra X-Ray Observatory primarily in the energy range 1.5-4.5 keV. During the Crab pulsar periods with GPs the X-ray flux in radio emission phase windows does not change more than by +-10% for main pulse (MP) GPs and +-30% for interpulse (IP) GPs. During giant pulses themselves, the X-ray flux does not change more than by two times for MP GPs and 5 times for IP GPs. All limits quoted are compatible with 2-sigma fluctuations of the X-ray flux around the sets of false GPs with random arrival times. The results speak in favor of changes in plasma coherence as the origin of GPs. However, the results do not rule out variations in the rate of particle creation if the particles that emit coherent radio emission are mostly at the lowest Landau level.

description: Archaeological investigations in northern Manabí, Ecuador have included regional settlement surveys and excavations that have identified a previously unknown Terminal Valdivia cultural complex named the “Piquigua Phase” (1700-1550 B.C.). Consequently, these archaeological investigations established the Jama River Valley as the northernmost frontier of the Valdivia society. Yet, the excavations at the site of Matapalo, in the Coaque River Valley, have pushed these frontiers further north. Thus, expanding the Valdivia occupations into new lands based on the reported archaeological features, cultural diagnostics and radiocarbon dates obtained at the site. By employing the methodology of modal analysis to the ceramic material from Matapalo, it was possible to recognize the formal and stylistic variability of the vessels, most of which reoccur in other sites with a Terminal Valdivia affiliation. Additionally, the ceramic analysis imparted in this thesis revealed that pottery is a particularly informative record of technology, chronology, but most importantly culture.

description: This research work proposes an adaptive optimal Lyapunov control for a Trans-critical Organic Rankine Cycle (TORC) to address disturbance rejection problem. TORC is a thermodynamic cycle for converting low temperature heat into electrical power where the system operates with an organic fluid with low boiling temperature at supercritical or trans-critical conditions. This thermodynamic cycle is similar to the traditional steam Rankine cycle, but it is capable of recovering low grade heat into useful power. The control-oriented challenge of utilizing this system at nominal efficiency is that low grade heat resources have a fluctuating nature which does not allow the heat recovery system operates at nominal operating conditions. In this regards, a control-oriented nonlinear model of TORC system is developed, and an Adaptive Variable Structure Control (AVSC) using Cerebellar Model Articulation Controller (CMAC) neural networks is proposed to maintain the system at nominal operating conditions while rejecting the disturbances. The variable structure control is a well known robust control strategy suitable for this application where CMAC neural network method integrates into the control such that the final control is not only robust but also adaptive to the disturbances.

The domains of soliton existence depend on the transverse growth rate of the filling nonlinearity and nonlinearity of the core. Remarkably, solitons exist even when the core material is linear.

description: The critical current density has been measured on single crystals of Ru substituted BaFe2As2 superconductor at several temperatures and in fields up to 16 T. The magnetisation versus field isotherms reveal the occurrence of a clear second magnetisation peak (SMP) also known as fish-tail effect for both H parallel and perpendicular to c-axis of the crystal. The in-field resistance and magnetisation data are used to put forth a vortex phase diagram. The nature of the vortices have been determined from scaling behaviour of the pinning force density extracted from the Jc-H isotherms. The scaled JC versus reduced temperature behaviour seems to fit to a power law that indicates unambiguously that pinning in this system arises due to the spatial variation in the mean free path, viz. delta-l pinning.

description: To address the issue of electron correlation driven superconductivity in graphene, we perform a systematic quantum Monte Carlo study of the pairing correlation in the t-U-V Hubbard model on a honeycomb lattice. For V=0 and close to half filling, we find that pairing with d+id symmetry dominates pairing with extended-s symmetry. However, as the system size or the on-site Coulomb interaction increases, the long-range part of the d+id pairing correlation decreases and tends to vanish in the thermodynamic limit. An inclusion of nearest-neighbor interaction V, either repulsive or attractive, has a small effect on the extended-s pairing correlation, but strongly suppresses the d+id pairing correlation.

description: This thesis is motivated by some of the author’s observations and building users’ comments in some of the highly rated green buildings in North America. The observations and users’ comments were collected earlier from buildings in Tucson (Arizona), San Francisco (California), Se¬attle (Washington), and Las Vegas (Nevada). Green buildings are very efficient in their consumption of energy, water, and natural resources; they also provide their occupants with a healthier and productive environment. However, the author’s observations and users’ comments are in accordance with the claims of some other studies: that the performance of highly rated green buildings is less than what is targeted by the concept of sustainability. This research examines green buildings from a human experiential perspective to explore factors involved in the perceptions and experiences of laypersons. The main objective of this research is to inform improvements and enhance the performance of green buildings. This dissertation consists of two main studies; the first is qualitative, and the second is quantitative. The former explores influential factors in the perceptions and experiences of laypersons in green buildings through an ethnographic approach. The results of this study are used to support a theoretical framework for understanding the perceptions and experiences that laypersons have in green versus non-green buildings. The second study examines the preferences of laypersons in some experiential factors explored in the first study by aligning them with environmental design attributes of green buildings in a choice experiment. A choice-based conjoint analysis is used as the experimental design approach to reveal the relative importance of each design category for occupants of two buildings: a Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Gold-certified building, and a non-green building. Together, the two studies contribute to the green building and sustainable design literature through elucidating occupants’ perceptions of green buildings and highlighting the preferences of green building occupants in environmental and experiential factors of design. These findings introduce an interdisciplinary perspective to inform future research on improving the current green building rating systems by adding important dimensions related to the concept of sustainability.

School organizational health and teacher sustainability : Canadian offshore schools in Egypt
Creators: name: Bilodeau, Leanne Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Global mobility of the workforce and competition to attract and retain top talent compels organizations to develop healthy workplace environments that support employee engagement, well-being and retention. Within the education sector, many studies examine issues surrounding teacher retention, however, only a few studies were found that examine expatriate teacher turnover in international schools. While these studies contemplate the role of the workplace environment, they do not examine expatriate teacher turnover from a workplace health perspective. Thus, the primary objective of this study was to determine if workplace health plays a role in expatriate teacher sustainability in international schools from the perspectives of expatriate teachers, and in doing so, provide a new way to think about the role of international school environments in supporting expatriate teacher sustainability. Teachers were interviewed at Canadian Offshore Schools in Egypt and qualitative data analysis was undertaken using inductive thematic analysis. The findings of this study revealed that workplace health plays a role in expatriate teachers‟ decisions to leave or remain working at Canadian Offshore Schools in Egypt. Supportive relationships with administrators and colleagues, opportunities for career development and growth, job challenge, work demands and adequate compensation and benefits were among the features described by expatriate teachers as important to retention. Other reasons to stay were associated with the development of relationships beyond the schools and personal motivations. A number of implications arise from this study that may help to support expatriate teacher sustainability in Canadian Offshore Schools in Egypt. In addition to elements associated with workplace health, specific recommendations obtained from teachers concerning the recruitment process and the role schools can play in providing support to teachers to build relationships within and beyond the schools shed light on important issues that can serve to enhance teacher retention. This research supports prior literature and provides a new lens through which to view teacher retention in Canadian Offshore Schools in Egypt. The first-hand perspective of expatriate teachers demonstrated in this study reinforces the role of workplace health in employee retention and provides information to support international workplace practices and recruitment and retention strategies toward organizational sustainability.

description: The Mizar Mathematical Library (MML) is a rich database of formalized mathematical proofs (see http://mizar.org). Owing to its large size (it contains more than 1100 "articles" summing to nearly 2.5 million lines of text, expressing more than 50000 theorems and 10000 definitions using more than 7000 symbols), the nature of its contents (the MML is slanted toward pure mathematics), and its classical foundations (first-order logic, set theory, natural deduction), the MML is an especially attractive target for research on foundations of mathematics. We have implemented a system, mizar-items, on which a variety of such foundational experiements can be based. The heart of mizar-items is a method for decomposing the contents of the MML into fine-grained "items" (e.g., theorem, definition, notation, etc.) and computing dependency relations among these items. mizar-items also comes equipped with a website for exploring these dependencies and interacting with them.

description: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is the popular multicarrier modulation technique used in wireless communications, especially on fading channel. Having some advantages compared to OFDM, Wavelet Packet Modulation (WPM) is a promising multicarrier candidate in Cognitive Radio (CR) systems. An essential component of the CR systems is efficient and fast spectrum sensing (SS), which ensures that the secondary users (SUs) use the spectral resources at the right time and place. In this dissertation, based on an approximated Covariance Matrix of the noise-free received signal, several novel spectrum sensing methods are proposed for WPM systems. Dealing with the shortage of knowledge about the primary signal at the SUs’ receiver, another SS method based on Rao score’s test is also proposed. To reduce the sensing time, two sequential SS approaches are proposed and investigated. The excellent performances of the proposed methods are evaluated under various constraints, shown by some analytic and simulation results.

description: We investigate the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) universe (containing dark energy) as a non-equilibrium (irreversible) thermodynamical system by considering the power-law correction to the horizon entropy. By taking power-law entropy area law which appear in dealing with the entanglement of quantum fields in and out the horizon, we determine the power-law entropy corrected apparent horizon of the FRW universe.

Evolutionary Ethics? Substantiators, Skeptics, and Moral Realism

description: Hardly a week passes without new findings emerging from evolutionary psychology regarding how our view of morality has been influenced by our biological evolution. Evolutionary ethics is a normative project built upon these scientific insights. Evolutionary ethicists fall into two groups: substantiators or skeptics. Substantiators believe moral ideas can now be scientifically proven. Skeptics believe there are no moral truths because morality is just a biological adaptation. I believe the project of evolutionary ethics is misconceived. I argue that both the substantiators and the skeptics fail to show the direct relevance of biology to ethics. Moral truths can be established. But biology cannot support nor undercut these truths. I present the doctrine of moral realism as embodying the proper process of ethical inquiry, and I defend moral realism from evolutionary psychology’s skeptical conclusions. I determine that biology can indirectly inform ethics, but never guide it. The ethical realm is independent.
