A note on the integral equation for the Wilson loop in N = 2 D=4 superconformal Yang-Mills theory
Creators: name: Bourgine, Jean-Emile

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We propose an alternative method to study the saddle point equation in the strong coupling limit for the Wilson loop in $\mathcal{N}=2$ D=4 super Yang-Mills with an SU(N) gauge group and 2N hypermultiplets. This method is based on an approximation of the integral equation kernel which allows to solve the simplified problem exactly. To determine the accuracy of this approximation, we compare our results to those obtained recently by Passerini and Zarembo. Although less precise, this simpler approach provides an explicit expression for the density of eigenvalues that is used to derive the planar free energy.

Constructing the Queer Christian: A Counterdiscourse Analysis of Queer Exvangelicalism on Twitter
Creators: name: O'Brien, Claire Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Graduate Studies
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Queer media
subject: Religious deconstruction

subject: Mass Communications

description: This thesis examines the counterdiscourses created by “queer exvangelical” communities on Twitter in response to the queer-exclusionary discourses of fundamentalist Christianity. The queer exvangelical community is comprised of former and questioning queer Christians who use digital platforms to share their experiences of leaving or reforming their faith due to the homophobia and LGBTQIA2+ exclusion that takes place within many Christian communities. Using Foucauldian discourse analysis, this research identifies and examines the counterdiscourses constructed and disseminated within these online networks and considers the ways in which Twitter’s affordances facilitate their creation, circulation, and levels of engagement. Ultimately, this case study finds that these communities construct a counterdiscursive figure of a “queer-Christian,” who challenges the exclusionary and hateful theology and beliefs that has long denied sanctity and “goodness” to queer identities. Through acts of storytelling, solidarity, and support, the “queer-Christian” facilitates personal and community healing within the exvangelical community. This project views the de- and reconstruction of anti-queer fundamentalist Christian discourse as a necessary step in creating new, inclusive knowledges about sex, sexuality, and gender in the Western context.

description: Visual hallucinations are often considered to be suggestive of a secondary cause of psychosis, however, this association has never been assessed meta-analytically. We aimed to compare the presence of visual hallucinations in patients with psychosis due to a primary or secondary cause. We conducted a meta-analysis of case-control studies directly comparing primary and secondary psychosis. A random-effects model, following the DerSimonian and Laird method, was used to pool studies and generate overall odds ratios (OR), 95% confidence intervals (CI) and prediction intervals (PI). Fourteen studies (904 primary and 804 secondary psychosis patients) were included. Visual hallucinations were significantly associated with secondary psychosis (OR = 3.0, 95% CI = 1.7-5.1, p < 0.001) with moderate between-study heterogeneity (I2 = 70%). Subgroup analysis by type of secondary psychosis (organic, drug-induced, mixed) was non-significant. Analysis of the content of visual hallucinations (51 primary and 142 secondary psychosis patients) found hallucinations of inanimate objects were significantly more likely to be associated with secondary psychosis (OR = 0.1, 95% CI = 0.01-0.8, p = 0.03). Visual hallucinations were strongly associated with a secondary cause of psychosis. The presence of visual hallucinations in a patient presenting with psychosis may serve as a potential “red flag” for a secondary cause and warrant further investigation.

Labour and literature in the 'West beyond the West'
Creators: name: Diotte, Mark Vincent
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The literature of British Columbia and the study of labour therein have been largely ignored in academic criticism. I address this deficiency by foregrounding labour in the prose literature of British Columbia as well as the significance of British Columbia literature itself. My introductory literature review demarcates the field, situates the authors and texts I take up, and points to the general importance of such a study. Chapter two begins by analyzing the male-dominant labour narrative in Bertrand Sinclair’s The Inverted Pyramid and Roderick Haig-Brown’s On the Highest Hill and Timber—each focused on the theme of logging. Rather than an overarching argument, the section on Sinclair addresses many concepts, including Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of fields, a connection between environmental conservationism and loggers, and a cooperative economic model that opposes capitalism. Likewise, in Haig-Brown I focus on his treatment of danger in the logging industry, the oft-forgotten history of Canada’s national parks, the way that language connects people to nature, and the presence of homosocial and homosexual relationships in logging. My project shifts in chapter three from logging to orcharding and from novels to three works of creative non-fiction by Harold Rhenisch:Out of the Interior: The Lost Country, Tom Thomson’s Shack, and The Wolves at Evelyn: Journeys through a Dark Century. Operating out of a site of tension and contradiction,Rhenisch resists what he sees as the dominant discourses in the Interior of British Columbia. In my fourth chapter I return to novels but move from a study of manual labour to white collar labour. Here the phrase “white collar” becomes an analytical lens to view labour stratification, exploitation, authorship, sexism, and agency in Douglas Coupland’s JPod, Robert Harlow’s Scann, and Jen Sookfong Lee’s the end of east. In chapter five, I conclude by using Daphne Marlatt’s novel Ana Historic as a way to reflect on the positions of chapters two through four. Marlatt’s criticism of male dominant conceptions of history and patriarchal systems of power illuminates the texts I have taken up and reveals possibilities for further analysis, debate, and discussion.

description: With the help of a shared pool of reconfigurable computing resources, clients of the cloud-based model can keep sensitive data remotely and access the apps and services it offers on-demand without having to worry about maintaining and storing it locally. To protect the privacy of the public auditing system that supports the cloud data exchange system. The data's owner has the ability to change it using the private key and publishes it in the cloud. The RSA Technique is used to produce key codes for the cloud services atmosphere's privacy utilizing the system's baseboard number, disc number, and client passcode for validation. The method is based on a cutting-edge User End Generated (UEG) privacy technique that minimizes the involvement of a third party and improves security checks by automatically documenting destructive activities. To strengthen extensibility, various authorization-assigning modalities and block access patterns were established together with current operational design approaches. In order to meet the demands for decentralization, fine-grained auditability, extensibility, flexibility, and privacy protection for multilevel data access in networked environments, the suggested approach makes use of blockchain technology. According to a thorough performance and security assessment, the current proposal is exceptionally safe and effective.

description: Phillip’s Garden is a large Middle Dorset period seal hunting site in the Port au Choix area of northwestern Newfoundland, Canada. Harp seal dominates all Phillip’s Garden middens in quantities of up to 99% in faunal assemblages. This thesis investigates two midden assemblages from House 10, a large single house at this multi-household aggregation site, to determine the household organization of harp seal processing, consumption, and disposal activities during the height of site occupation. The contents of two middens located at the front and rear of House 10 are analyzed for seal body part representation, cutmarks, and associated tools and artifacts. Results of these analyses demonstrate that each midden has similar body part representation, though interesting contrasts are observed and investigated. Differences in the associated tool and artifact types and counts for each midden are also noted. Midden analysis results are used to isolate and interpret the types of activities that would have contributed to the differential distribution of seal body parts, tools, and artifacts between the front and rear middens of House 10. Evidence of an intra-household organization of harp seal processing and disposal activities has interesting implications in the interpretation of an inter-household communal organization of harp seal resource management at Phillip’s Garden. The results of these analyses suggest that a framework of social organization was involved in the process of butchering, processing, consuming, and disposing of harp seals within and between households at Phillip’s Garden.

Thermal Risks and Benefits of Wide Implementation of Dynamic Thermal Ratings

Publisher: name: Graduate Studies
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Engineering--Electronics and Electrical

description: With the increased focus on climate change policies, more transmission capacity is needed to accommodate new renewable generation. Traditionally, the capacity of a transmission line is determined using reasonable, outer-range environmental conditions, based on air temperature, wind speed and wind direction. Dynamic Thermal Line Rating (DTLR) can be used to increase the capacity of an existing system by updating the line rating based on real-time environmental conditions. Previous research demonstrates the benefits of implementing DTLR but are mainly focused on smaller pilot projects over limited periods of time. My PhD project investigates the implementation of DTLR, considering the impact on the rest of the electrical system and the spatial and temporal differences in potential line rating increase. This project focuses on three main contributions. The first contribution investigates the impact of using a predicted hourly dynamic thermal rating for transmission lines on the transient conductor temperature. The second contribution investigates the relationship between dynamic thermal ratings for both transmission lines and transformers considering a wind farm expansion, examining the trade-off between wind generation curtailment, loss-of-life of the transformer and the potential revenue for the wind farm operator. The third contribution investigates the spatial and temporal variations in DTLRs using clustering algorithms to group together weather stations with similar DTLR values.

description: Recent theoretical works have demonstrated various robust Abelian and non-Abelian fractional topological phases in lattice models with topological flat bands carrying Chern number C=1. Here we study hard-core bosons and interacting fermions in a three-band triangular-lattice model with the lowest topological flat band of Chern number C=2. We find convincing numerical evidence of bosonic fractional quantum Hall effect at the $ν=1/3$ filling characterized by three-fold quasi-degeneracy of ground states on a torus, a fractional Chern number for each ground state, a robust spectrum gap, and a gap in quasihole excitation spectrum. We also observe numerical evidence of a robust fermionic fractional quantum Hall effect for spinless fermions at the $ν=1/5$ filling with short-range interactions.

description: Colombians who acquire a university degree in Colombia may still face challenges finding employment. They may choose to immigrate to Canada because the opportunities that this country offers. However, these immigrants may have to apply various strategies to overcome obstacles in their path to success. So, when they immigrate permanently to their host country (Canada as their country of settlement), they may have to overcome barriers, such as discrimination (Quillian et al., 2019) while finding a place in their professional field and integrating into their host communities (community of settlement). As a result, immigrants may find that having a career and speaking the target language is not enough to communicate effectively and build meaningful connections in their host communities. Thus, the purpose of this qualitative study with narrative inquiry methodology was to explore the journeys of eight professional Colombian immigrants who felt successful in Canada and had two or more years of adaptation and integration to answer the following question: To what extent did professional Colombian immigrants experience holistic Transformative Learning (TL) and enhance Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) after living in Canada for two or more years, in their path to professional success? In this study, I explored how the eight participants were able to enhance their ICC through various strategies that fostered interpersonal connections. These connections allowed them to become more confident with their target language(s); they also became stronger, humbler, and more flexible, and open-minded. In turn, they enhanced their communication skills and their ICC in their host communities. Their positive attributes and interpersonal connections helped them reflect on changes in their identities and frames of reference experiencing holistic TL. The study findings have the potential to inform the professional field of adult learning on how to incorporate learning spaces that promote interpersonal connections and learning through relationships to foster ICC and holistic TL.

Primordial magnetic field constraints from the end of reionization

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: Primordial magnetic fields generated in the early universe are subject of considerable investigation, and observational limits on their strength are required to constrain the theory. Due to their impact on the reionization process, the strength of primordial fields can be limited using the latest data on reionization and the observed UV-luminosity function of high-redshift galaxies. Given the steep faint-end slope of the luminosity function, faint galaxies contribute substantial ionizing photons, and the low-luminosity cutoff has an impact on the total budget thereof. Magnetic pressure from primordial fields affects such cutoff by preventing collapse in halos with mass below 10^{10} M_solar (B_0 / 3 nG)^3, with B_0 the co-moving field strength. In this letter, the implications of these effects are consistently incorporated in a simplified model for reionization, and the uncertainties due to the cosmological parameters, the reionization parameters and the observed UV luminosity function are addressed. We show that the observed ionization degree at z\sim7 leads to the strongest upper limit of B_0\lsim 2-3nG. Stronger limits could follow from measurements of high ionization degree at z>7.

description: The adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) has created opportunities to analyse historical data for predicting clinical outcomes and improving patient care. However, non-standardised data representations and anomalies pose major challenges to the use of EHRs in digital health research. To address these challenges, we have developed EHR-QC, a tool comprising two modules: the data standardisation module and the preprocessing module. The data standardisation module migrates source EHR data to a standard format using advanced concept mapping techniques, surpassing expert curation in benchmarking analysis. The preprocessing module includes several functions designed specifically to handle healthcare data subtleties. We provide automated detection of data anomalies and solutions to handle those anomalies. We believe that the development and adoption of tools like EHR-QC is critical for advancing digital health. Our ultimate goal is to accelerate clinical research by enabling rapid experimentation with data-driven observational research to generate robust, generalisable biomedical knowledge.

description: The mo(ve)ments gathered, held, and offered to you here, are connected to institutional life yet breach its hold. This multi-voiced autoethnographic representation of (re)memberings and (re)imaginings, draws upon critical race theory, anti-racism, and settler colonialism as analytics to attune to the reproduction of parallel projects of domination and how particular violences are thrust on / against our bodies, Black, Indigenous, and racialized bodies. Here, we consider how our (re)memberings of racism and colonial violence within higher education feed our (re)imaginings and desires for more than what is. In working in relation to / with memory as an intimate and rebellious methodology, we draw upon our distinct historical and ancestral inheritances and asymmetrically interconnected knowledges of living amidst porous worlds of haunting and abundance, held by and preserved within the corporeal vessel, as a form of collective labour for livability, for shared futures that might yet be. These orientations and analytics open up decolonial possibilities for this work, spaces to travel in / through to make sense of the distinct yet linked experiences across our differences. This vessel carefully holds layered curations of bodily affect(ion)s through various fragmented forms of representation. In bringing together these fragments in fragile connectivity, this work traces and follows how bodies, voices, and affects find one another here, in an institutional space that continually deploys its racial and colonial machinations for our containment, erasure and extraction. Through membranous seeping, border crossing, and portal jumping to reclaim our bodies (of knowledge), our (re)memberings and (re)imaginings illuminate desires and yearnings for belonging in this world together, alongside world-making practices made possible by inheritance, kinship, and the alchemy of imagination.

The galileons arise from the brane bending modes of a brane probing a co-dimension N bulk, and the gauge fields arise by turning on certain off-diagonal components in the zero mode of the bulk metric. By construction, the equations of motion for both the galileons and gauge fields remain second order. Covariant gauged galileons are derived as well.

description: Background Women’s health is usually looked upon in terms of their reproductive health. However, cardio-vascular diseases are one of the leading causes of death and disability among women, globally as well as in India. Risk factors of today can be disease of tomorrow. Gradience in level of epidemiological transition is observed across different states. The study aims to estimate the national and regional prevalence, and sociodemographic determinants of biological and behavioural risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Materials and methods The present study was conducted among women in the age group of 15 to 49 years using nationally representative sample from fifth round National Family Health Survey in India. The data analysis in the current study included 7,24,115 women in the age group of 15 to 49 years. SPSS version 20 was used for the purpose of analysis. Weighted prevalence was computed for the studied behavioral and biological (dependent variable) risk factors using women specifc weights as provided in the dataset. Binary logistic regression model was employed to calculate the adjusted odds ratio (OR) with the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) to study the sociodemographic determinants (independent variables) of these risk factors. Results Highest prevalent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases was reported to be central obesity (78.2%), followed by overweight/obesity (23.9%), oral contraceptive use (13.4%), raised blood pressure (11.8%), raised blood sugar (8.6%), tobacco use (4.0%), and alcohol use (0.7%). Higher odds of all the studied risk factors were reported with increasing age. All of the studied risk factors, except for alcohol consumption [OR (95%CI): 0.9 (0.8–0.96)], had higher odds in rural areas compared to urban areas. Compared to other castes, the odds of tobacco [OR (95% CI): 2.01 (1.91–2.08)] and alcohol consumption [OR (95% CI): 5.76 (5.12–6.28)], and raised blood pressure [OR (95% CI): 1.07(1.04–1.11)] was signifcantly higher among the people belonging to schedule tribe. Conclusion and recommendation The present study highlights the state-wise disparities in the burden and pre?dictors of risk factors for cardio-vascular diseases among women of reproductive age. The study provides insights to these disparities, and focuses on the need of tailoring the disease prevention and control measures suiting to the local needs.

description: As part of its Healthy Environment and Healthy Economy (HEHE) plan to address climate change, the Canadian government intends to increase the carbon tax from its current level of $30 per tonne to $170 per tonne over the next nine years. To respond to this plan positively, oil companies have started to address the most significant issue on carbon emissions from their current oil recovery processes, such as steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD), by utilizing more environmentally responsive processes. Pure or hybrid solvent injection was proposed as an alternative method; however, its previous studies were limited to a conventional solvent (n- alkane), which is not economically feasible. Dimethyl ether (DME), an emerging renewable chemical resource, was initially proposed as a solution to reduce carbon emissions and aroused interest in the heavy oil industry. But limited research has been carried out for understanding and evaluating DME`s performance in heavy oil recovery. In this thesis, essential mechanisms including phase behavior, asphaltene deposition, reservoir responses due to solvent injection or solid adsorption, and mass transfer by considering water phase solubility during DME injection have been studied by numerical simulation. In detail, a) concentration-dependent binary interaction coefficients have been proposed to represent an asymmetric phase system; b) a general analytical model for predicting a heavy oil gravity drainage rate has been proposed; c) reservoir responses due to solvent injection andasphaltene depositionhave been investigated; d) a workflow of a semi- compositional approach has been proposed to accurately predict asphaltene precipitation behavior and then an innovative numerical model has been built for investigating asphaltene precipitation and in-situ upgrading in DME-VAPEX (vapour extraction). To conclude, DME has been evaluated as a promising solvent for heavy oil and bitumen recovery with a less negative blockage effect, a higher recovery factor and rate, higher API upgrading, and higher energy efficiency compared with a conventional solvent. DME, as a renewable, amphoteric chemical solvent, will lead to significant implications in addressing the challenges brought by carbon emissions.

Investigating the neurobiological basis of decision-making using a novel rat gambling task
Creators: name: Zeeb, Fiona Dawn

description: The Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) is a commonly used clinical test of decision-making. During the IGT, subjects choose between options associated with gains and losses. We have developed a novel rat gambling task (rGT), during which subjects are required to maximize their earnings within a 30 min session. Animals choose between four options, each associated with a different number of sucrose pellets, probability of receiving reward, and the magnitude and possibility of experiencing a punishing time-out period during which reward cannot be earned. Persistent choice of the larger reward options results in greater loss—as these options are associated with more frequent and longer time-out periods—resulting in less reward earned per unit time. Therefore, similar to the IGT, subjects are required to choose from the smaller reward options to maximize long-term gains. Results from Experiment 1 demonstrated that rats learn to choose most often from the best option by incorporating multiple factors into making their decisions. Therefore, the rGT may be a useful tool to study the biological basis of decision-making. Following pharmacological challenges with amphetamine and receptor-specific serotonergic and dopaminergic agents, data from Experiments 1 and 2 demonstrated that both neurotransmitters play important roles in modulating decision-making preferences. Furthermore, results from Experiment 2 suggested that amphetamine’s ability to alter decision-making may not be caused by increased dopamine release. Additionally, animals reared in an enriched environment or in isolation were slower to learn the optimal strategy, but only isolation-reared rats chose more often from the disadvantageous options. Experiment 3 determined that lesions of either orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) or basolateral amygdala (BLA) impaired acquisition of the rGT. However, if these lesions occurred after training on the rGT, only rats with BLA lesions chose disadvantageously. These results indicated that the BLA—but not the OFC—is involved in maintaining an optimal strategy on the rGT, yet both regions are required during task acquisition. Experiment 4 used a contralateral disconnection lesion procedure to determine that the connectivity between the OFC and BLA was important in learning the optimal strategy, as well as updating decision-making preferences following reward devaluation.
Convex dwell-time characterizations for uncertain linear impulsive systems

description: New sufficient conditions for the characterization of dwell-times for linear impulsive systems are proposed and shown to coincide with continuous decrease conditions of a certain class of looped-functionals, a recently introduced type of functionals suitable for the analysis of hybrid systems. This approach allows to consider Lyapunov functions that evolve non-monotonically along the flow of the system in a new way, broadening then the admissible class of systems which may be analyzed. As a byproduct, the particular structure of the obtained conditions makes the method is easily extendable to uncertain systems by exploiting some convexity properties. Several examples illustrate the approach.

description: Scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) is a useful probe for studying the cuprates in the superconducting and pseudogap states. Here we present a theoretical study of the Z-map, defined as the ratio of the local density of states at positive and negative bias energies, which frequently is used to analyze STS data. We show how the evolution of the quasiparticle interference peaks in the Fourier transform Z-map can be understood by considering different types of impurity scatterers, as well as particle-hole asymmetry in the underlying bandstructure. We also explore the effects of density wave orders, and show that the Fourier transform Z-map may be used to both detect and distinguish between them.

description: This MSc thesis includes two manuscript-style chapters focused on the best practices for the dissemination and implementation (D&I) of neuromuscular training (NMT) warm-ups programs in youth team sport and video analysis of warm-up procedures in Calgary youth soccer. The systematic review examined the current practices for the D&I of NMT warm-up programs in youth (19 years old) team sport. Key results from this systematic review indicate there are few high-level studies evaluating D&I strategies for NMT warm-up program delivery. Limited studies utilize D&I behaviour change frameworks/models. Coach workshops with supplementary resources are the primary strategy and facilitator for implementation success. The second study takes a deeper dive into implementation, looking at real-world usage of NMT warm-up programs in a local context using video analysis. This study investigated U13-U17 male and female elite and non-elite Calgary youth soccer warm-ups for both practices and games during the outdoor 2022 season. Findings of this study determined limited mean time spent in overall warm-ups (322.4 seconds/session; 95% CI: 250.3, 394.5) and minimal time spent in NMT components (202.2 seconds/session; 95% CI: 150.3, 254.2) across all teams. Significant increase in mean time spent in aerobic was found for male elite teams for practice warm-ups in the beginning of the season (timepoint 1) compared to mid-season (timepoint 2, p = 0.005; timepoint 3, p < 0.001; and timepoint 4, p < 0.001). No other changes were found from the remaining groups, regardless of session type. When evaluating differences in overall warm-ups and time spent in NMT components, male elite teams spent more mean time in aerobic than female elite teams in practice warm-ups (-335.8 seconds, 95% CI: -413.8, -257.8); no differences were seen in games. No significant differences were found between male and female non-elite teams for either session type. Despite recommendations, the status of warm-up program implementation in youth team sport globally, and youth soccer setting locally, do not reflect research suggestions for achieving health-related benefits. Overall, these studies highlight the need for more pragmatic efforts to promote successful, long-term uptake of NMT warm-up programs, suggesting further incorporation of critical NMT components into routines.

description: The relations between matrix elements of different P- and T-odd weak interactions are derived. We demonstrate that similar relations hold for parity nonconserving (PNC) transition amplitudes and electron electric dipole moments (EDM) of atoms and molecules. This allows to express P- and T-odd effects in many-electron systems caused by different symmetry-breaking mechanisms via each other using simple analytical formulas. We use these relations for the interpretation of the anapole moment measurements in cesium and thallium and for the analysis of the relative contributions of the scalar-pseudoscalar CP-odd weak interaction and electron EDM to the EDM of Cs, Tl, Fr and other atoms and many polar molecules (YbF, PbO, ThO, etc.). Model-independent limits on electron EDM and the parameter of the scalar-pseudoscalar CP-odd interaction are found from the analysis of the EDM measurements for Tl and YbF.

description: The Integrated Research Infrastructure for the Social Sciences (IRISS) Project aims to address the fragmentation of the Australian social science research infrastructure. One of the identified barriers hindering social research in Australia is the lack of dataset integrating information on people, places, time, and space. The IRISS Work Package 3 seeks to address this issue by developing and piloting a "proof-of-concept" data integration service called GeoSocial, which will allow researchers to enhance people-centred survey data with spatially structured data capturing information on places where these people live. Associated Work Package 4 Demonstrator 1 will showcase the features of an example integrated dataset. This report outlines the overall design of the service and its functionalities.
