description: The UBC Food System Project connects students with stakeholders from UBC's Alma Mater Society (AMS) with the intent of providing opportunities to make the campus' food system more sustainable. The objective of our scenario was to work alongside one of the AMS food venues to propose a new menu item, or alternative ingredients for a current item, that meets the criteria of the AMS Lighter Footprint Strategy. This menu item should reduce the Ecological Footprint of the venue that we are assingned, which was the Pit Burger Bar. Our group reviewed previous LFS 450 reports, as well as peer-reviewed and popular literature regarding Ecological Footprinting and similar projects. We conducted an interview with the manager of the Pit Burger Bar to assess his vision for the project and assess the potential limitations regarding proposing a menu item. Also, a paper survey was developed to evaluate consumer preferences regarding current menu items and potential future options. The results of the consumer preference survey showed that beef burgers that were purchased the most but that there was a significant level of interest in having a greater selection of vegetarian and local menu items. Although addressing the ecological footprint of the beef patties would have had the most significant impact on the sustainability of the Pit Burger Bar, our group decided that we would focus on proposing a menu item that was meat-free and that made use of ingredients from a local producers. After researching an appropriate recipe, we came up with that of apple fries. Finally, we included recommendations for future LFS 450 groups, stakeholders and collaborators.

description: Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is one of the most important viral diseases of goats and sheep. The disease is endemic in several parts of Asia and Africa and causes huge losses. A PPR vaccine has been developed in India which is effective and provides lifetime immunity to the target species. The vaccine is the only way to combat the disease by controlling and subsequently eradicating it. This paper has assessed the probable economic impact of this vaccine. The probable economic losses due to mortality of adult population alone because of this disease have been estimated at Rs 169.42 million.The costs of PPR vaccine production at commercial scale have also been worked out. Manufacturing costs of a single dose is reported to be Re 0.58 only. The benefit-cost ratio has been estimated to be 2.25. The vaccine if used in an effective manner, can control the disease and eradicate it subsequently from the country, maybe in a decade or so.

description: The paper assesses the total factor productivity (TFP) growth in the Indian fisheries sector, examines the impact of fisheries sector on different stakeholders and estimates the rate of return to public investment on fisheries research and development. Time series-cum-cross-section data by state for inland and marine fish productions pertaining to fisheries resources, production, input use, prices and investment on fish research and development have been compiled from various published sources. Divisia-Tornqvist index has been used for computing TFP for the inland and marine fisheries. The TFP annual growth has been estimated to be 4.0 per cent for the aquaculture sector and 2.0 per cent for the marine sector. Multi-market fish sector model developed at the WorldFish Center (Malaysia) has been used for India. For a given time horizon (2005-2015), projections for price, supply, demand, and export have been obtained under different fish technological growth scenarios. The contribution of technological change to the development of fisheries sector has been substantial on producers as well as consumers. Further technological advancements would make the availability of fish to the consumers at cheaper rates and improve their nutritional security. The producers' income will also be enhanced. The internal rate of return to investment on fish research and development has been projected to be in the range of 42 to 55 per cent under different TFP scenarios.

description: Mismanagement of waste and wastewater is a key reason behind the continuing environmental pollution and degrading livelihoods across the developing countries of South Asia such as Sri Lanka. Recovering nutrients and energy from waste and wastewater streams can not only address the challenging waste and wastewater management problems but also considerably substitute the imports of chemical fertilizers and fossil fuels. Considering these environmental and economic benefits of waste and wastewater recycling, this study aims at assessing investment climate for a broader implementation of recycling technologies such as composting, biogas generation, and electricity production through incineration process. For this purpose, a wide range of methods were implemented including a detailed review of scientific literature, laws and reports by governmental agencies, as well as key informant interviews and focus group discussions. For assessing technical potential of recovering nutrients from waste streams a simulation model was applied. As results indicated, since waste generation and thus potential for nutrient recovery is high in urban areas, while demand for recovered nutrients is much higher in rural areas, interregional trade of the recovered nutrients would considerably contribute to reducing the shortage of fertilizers, improving food security, and increasing export incomes in Sri Lanka. Recovering nutrients from recycling only half of total organic waste and wastewater may allow for meeting agricultural demands for phosphorus and potassium, and supply 75% of nitrogen requirements at the national level. The government would need to be the main facilitator of the change through improving the accounting and planning in the system, establishing effective institutional and regulatory frameworks, providing financial incentives for the implementation of the recycling technologies, and supporting educational programs for raising the environmental consciousness.

description: For a self-repelling polymer chain consisting of n segments we calculate the persistence length L(j,n), defined as the projection of the end-to-end vector on the direction of the j`th segment. This quantity shows some pronounced variation along the chain. Using the renormalization group and epsilon-expansion we establish the scaling form and calculate the scaling function to order epsilon^2. Asymptotically the simple result L(j,n) ~ const(j(n-j)/n)^(2nu-1) emerges for dimension d=3. Also outside the excluded volume limit L(j,n) is found to behave very similar to the swelling factor of a chain of length j(n-j)/n. We carry through simulations which are found to be in good accord with our analytical results. For d=2 both our and previous simulations as well as theoretical arguments suggest the existence of logarithmic anomalies.

description: The secret to the spectacular flight capabilities of flapping insects lies in their wings, which are often approximated as flat, rigid plates. Real wings are however delicate structures, composed of veins and membranes, and can undergo significant deformation. In the present work, we present detailed numerical simulations of such deformable wings. Our results are obtained with a fluid-structure interaction solver, coupling a mass-spring model for the flexible wing with a pseudo-spectral code solving the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. We impose the no-slip boundary condition through the volume penalization method; the time-dependent complex geometry is then completely described by a mask function. This allows solving the governing equations of the fluid on a regular Cartesian grid. Our implementation for massively parallel computers allows us to perform high resolution computations with up to 500 million grid points. The mass-spring model uses a functional approach, thus modeling the different mechanical behaviors of the veins and the membranes of the wing. We perform a series of numerical simulations of a flexible revolving bumblebee wing at a Reynolds number Re = 1800. In order to assess the influence of wing flexibility on the aerodynamics, we vary the elasticity parameters and study rigid, flexible and highly flexible wing models. Code validation is carried out by computing classical benchmarks.

description: The concept of fragility provides a possibility to rank different supercooled liquids on the basis of the temperature dependence of dynamic and/or thermodynamic quantities. We recall here the definitions of kinetic and thermodynamic fragility proposed in the last years and discuss their interrelations. At the same time we analyze some recently introduced models for the statistical properties of the potential energy landscape. Building on the Adam-Gibbs relation, which connects structural relaxation times to configurational entropy, we analyze the relation between statistical properties of the landscape and fragility. We call attention to the fact that the knowledge of number, energy depth and shape of the basins of the potential energy landscape may not be sufficient for predicting fragility. Finally, we discuss two different possibilities for generating strong behavior.

description: The Asteroid Terrestrial impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) system consists of two 0.5m Schmidt telescopes with cameras covering 29 square degrees at plate scale of 1.86 arcsec per pixel. Working in tandem, the telescopes routinely survey the whole sky visible from Hawaii (above $δ> -50^{\circ}$) every two nights, exposing four times per night, typically reaching $o < 19$ magnitude per exposure when the moon is illuminated and $c < 19.5$ per exposure in dark skies. Construction is underway of two further units to be sited in Chile and South Africa which will result in an all-sky daily cadence from 2021. Initially designed for detecting potentially hazardous near earth objects, the ATLAS data enable a range of astrophysical time domain science. To extract transients from the data stream requires a computing system to process the data, assimilate detections in time and space and associate them with known astrophysical sources. Here we describe the hardware and software infrastructure to produce a stream of clean, real, astrophysical transients in real time. This involves machine learning and boosted decision tree algorithms to identify extragalactic and Galactic transients. Typically we detect 10-15 supernova candidates per night which we immediately announce publicly. The ATLAS discoveries not only enable rapid follow-up of interesting sources but will provide complete statistical samples within the local volume of 100 Mpc. A simple comparison of the detected supernova rate within 100 Mpc, with no corrections for completeness, is already significantly higher (factor 1.5 to 2) than the current accepted rates.

description: Previous and present "academic" research aiming at atomic scale understanding is mainly concerned with the study of individual molecular processes possibly underlying materials science applications. Appealing properties of an individual process are then frequently discussed in terms of their direct importance for the envisioned material function, or reciprocally, the function of materials is somehow believed to be understandable by essentially one prominent elementary process only. What is often overlooked in this approach is that in macroscopic systems of technological relevance typically a large number of distinct atomic scale processes take place. Which of them are decisive for observable system properties and functions is then not only determined by the detailed individual properties of each process alone, but in many, if not most cases also the interplay of all processes, i.e. how they act together, plays a crucial role. For a "predictive materials science modeling with microscopic understanding", a description that treats the statistical interplay of a large number of microscopically well-described elementary processes must therefore be applied. Modern electronic structure theory methods such as DFT have become a standard tool for the accurate description of individual molecular processes. Here, we discuss the present status of emerging methodologies which attempt to achieve a (hopefully seamless) match of DFT with concepts from statistical mechanics or thermodynamics, in order to also address the interplay of the various molecular processes. The new quality of, and the novel insights that can be gained by, such techniques is illustrated by how they allow the description of crystal surfaces in contact with realistic gas-phase environments.

description: What is the relationship between life and agency? Are all agents necessarily living organisms? How are we to understand the phenomena of life and action? This thesis aims to answer these questions against the background of the autopoietic enactive approach in cognitive science. I develop a general conception of productive beings as systems capable of engaging in productive processes. A productive process is understood as a purposive, end-directed kind of self-movement whose cause or source lies in the subject which engages in the process. I argue that the capacity of productive systems to engage in productive processes is inextricably tied to their nature as materially precarious systems. In other words, the autonomous form of productive beings cannot be understood without reference to their materially fragile realisation. I then argue that, given an enactive conception of life and precariousness, productive systems must be understood as living systems. Since agents, on the developed view, are productive systems, I conclude that life is necessary for agency, from an enactive viewpoint. The understanding of this continuity between life and action is explored, throughout the thesis, from different perspectives. Apart from a careful examination of enactive concepts and proposals, the discussion engages Elizabeth Anscombe’s work on agency, Michael Thompson’s reflections on life-forms, Philippa Foot’s notion of natural goodness, Hans Jonas’ philosophy of biology, and Aristotle’s conception of the relationship between form and matter.

We set the 90 % confidence-level upper limit: BF(B0bar to D*0 eta_prime) < 2.6*10**-4. The channels B0bar to D*0 eta, D*0 omega, and D0 eta_prime are seen with more than five-sigma statistical significance. All of these branching fractions are significantly larger than theoretical expectations based on the ``naive'' factorization model.

description: We revisit the duality between five-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theories and deformations of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory from a new perspective. We give a unified treatment of supersymmetric gauge theories in three and five dimensions using cohomological localization techniques and the Atiyah-Singer index theorem. We survey various known results in a unified framework and provide simplified derivations of localization formulas, as well as various extensions including the case of irregular Seifert fibrations. We describe the reductions to four-dimensional gauge theories, and give an extensive description of the dual two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory when the three-dimensional part of the geometry is a squashed three-sphere, including its extension to non-zero area, and a detailed analysis of the resulting matrix model. The squashing parameter $b$ yields a further deformation of the usual $q$-deformation of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory, which for rational values $b^2=p/s$ yields a new correspondence with Chern-Simons theory on lens spaces $L(p,s)$.

description: The virtual production of axion-like particles (ALPs) in the light-by-light scattering at the CLIC collider is studied. Both differential and total cross sections are calculated, assuming interaction of the ALP with photons via CP-odd term in the Lagrangian. The 95\% C.L. exclusion regions for the ALP mass and its coupling constant are given. By comparing our results with existing collider bounds, we see that the ALP search at the CLIC has a great physics potential of searching for the ALPs, especially, in the mass region 1 TeV -- 2.4 TeV, with the collision energy $\sqrt{s} = 3000$ GeV and integrated luminosity $L = 5000$ fb$^{-1}$ for the Compton backscattered initial photons. In particular, our limits are stronger that recently obtained bounds for the ALP production in the light-by-light scattering at the LHC.

Fragility in p-spin models

description: We investigate the relation between fragility and phase space properties - such as the distribution of states - in the mean field p-spin model, a solvable model that has been frequently used in studies of the glass transition. By direct computation of all the relevant quantities, we find that: i) the recently observed correlation between fragility and vibrational properties at low temperature is present in this model; ii) the total number of states is a decreasing function of fragility, at variance of what is currently believed. We explain these findings by taking into account the contribution to fragility coming from the transition paths between different states. Finally, we propose a geometric picture of the phase space that explains the correlation between properties of the transition paths, distribution of states and their vibrational properties. However, our analysis may not apply to strong systems where inflection points in the configurational entropy as a function of the temperature are found.

description: We report on the static and dynamical properties of multiple dark-antidark solitons (DADs) in two-component, repulsively interacting Bose-Einstein condensates. Motivated by experimental observations involving multiple DADs, we present a theoretical study which showcases that bound states consisting of dark (antidark) solitons in the first (second) component of the mixture exist for different values of interspecies interactions. It is found that ensembles of few DADs may exist as stable configurations, while for larger DAD arrays, the relevant windows of stability with respect to the interspecies interaction strength become progressively narrower. Moreover, the dynamical formation of states consisting of alternating DADs in the two components of the mixture is monitored. A complex dynamical evolution of these states is observed, leading either to sorted DADs or to beating dark-dark solitons depending on the strength of the interspecies coupling. This study demonstrates clear avenues for future investigations of DAD configurations.

description: Income diversification constitutes an important livelihood strategy for rural households in developing countries in general and Sub-Saharan Africa in particular. Using data collected by the World Bank in rural Kenya, the estimated results from the bivariate and 2SLS models show that the average partial effects of remittances on activity choices indicate that household propensity to seek non-cropping income was higher for households with external remittances than those with internal remittances. In addition, poor households diversified less than better-off households, implying that diversification is viewed more as a means of wealth accumulation than a survival strategy in this part of Kenya.
Violation of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem for fast superdiffusion

description: We study anomalous diffusion for one-dimensional systems described by a generalized Langevin equation. We show that superdiffusion can be classified in normal superdiffusion and fast superdiffusion. For fast superdiffusion, we prove that the Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem does not hold, which induces an effective temperature in the system. This effective temperature is a signature of metastability found in many complex system such as Spin-Glass and granular material.

description: Chiral fermions in solid state feature "Fermi arc" states, connecting the surface projections of the bulk chiral nodes. The surface Fermi arc is a signature of nontrivial bulk topology. Unconventional chiral fermions with an extensive Fermi arc traversing the whole Brillouin zone have been theoretically proposed in CoSi. Here, we use scanning tunneling microscopy / spectroscopy to investigate quasiparticle interference at various terminations of a CoSi single crystal. The observed surface states exhibit chiral fermion-originated characteristics. These reside on (001) and (011) but not (111) surfaces with pi-rotation symmetry, spiral with energy, and disperse in a wide energy range from ~-200 to ~+400 mV. Owing to the high-energy and high-space resolution, a spin-orbit coupling-induced splitting of up to ~80 mV is identified. Our observations are corroborated by density functional theory and provide strong evidence that CoSi hosts the unconventional chiral fermions and the extensive Fermi arc states.

The compostability of biodegradable polymer products
Creators: name: Chen, Richard
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The compostability of a few biodegradable polymer (BDP) products were investigated through two sets of tests. The first set of tests is laboratory-scale tests that were conducted in Dr. Anthony Lau`s laboratory in the department of Chemical and Biological Engineering. The second set of tests is pilot-scale tests which were conducted in the UBC in-vessel composter. The polymers studied includes: Biodegradable Solutions International (BSI) Polylacticacid (PLA), Biodegradable Food Services (BFS) PLA, Biobag™ biodegradable plastic bags, Ralston™ oxo-biodegradable plastic bags, and Papermate™ pen casings. Qualitative analysis of the composting results showed that apart from Biobag™ biodegradable plastic bags, the other polymer products showed little or no signs of degradation. A comparison between BFS polymer and BSI polymer showed that BFS degrades faster since discoloration was observed after 2 weeks on composting in the laboratory-scale tests compared to no physical changes with the BSI polymer. Analysis of the BSI polymer retrieved from the pilot-scale tests however, showed changes in tensile strength, which might indicate degradation of the polymer through hydrolysis.[Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community.

description: Imposing MCOOL in the United States was anticipated to affect demand by providing customers with additional, valuable information. Advocacy groups for MCOOL pointed to studies suggesting that consumers would prefer U.S. meat products and would be willing to pay premiums for confirmation of U.S. origin. MCOOL detractors, including Canada and Mexico, argued that the increased burden from record keeping would favor domestic meat. The subsequent lawsuits and WTO hearings have called into question the relative value of MCOOL to consumers as compared to costs faced by both domestic meat processors and North American trading partners promoting the idea that MCOOL imposes restrictions on imports and acts as a de facto trade barrier. To measure consumer welfare effects on MCOOL, we develop a measure by approximating Hicksian compensating variation as a function of three imported meat product prices and compensated price elasticities. The results show a mild consumer welfare and decrease in demand when MCOOL was implemented.

description: We study gravitational theory in 1+2 spacetime dimensions which is determined by the Lagrangian constructed as a sum of the Einstein-Hilbert term plus the two (translational and rotational) gravitational Chern-Simons terms. When the corresponding coupling constants vanish, we are left with the purely Einstein theory of gravity. We obtain new exact solutions for the gravitational field equations with the nontrivial material sources. Special attention is paid to plane-fronted gravitational waves (in case of the Maxwell field source) and to the circularly symmetric as well as the anisotropic cosmological solutions which arise for the ideal fluid matter source.
