description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of insurance contracts in general and more specifically the study of personal insurance contracts. We examined the proposed terminology and the definitions given for insurance contracts in general and more specifically for personal insurance contracts. Then we presented in detail the features of personal insurances, the differences existed between personal insurance and named perils insurance and the restrictions applied as long as precontractual duties are concerned. Furthermore, we analyzed the models concerning personal insurance. We also examined the current role of Private Life Insurance Guarantee Fund as long as the financial safety of the assured is concerned. Another aim of this study was to examine the protection of the personal data during a personal insurance contract
Immigration, assimilation and fertility: a study of Black African immigrants in Vancouver
Creators: name: Nyadoi, Florence
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study examines how in the context of international migration, ethnic (cultural) assimilation may influence fertility and attitudes towards fertility. The relationships between ethnic assimilation (measured by the extent to which immigrants will have subscribed to the core values of Canadian society through life style or behaviourial characteristics and social networks), socioeconomic status (that is, level of education and income), and six variables used to measure fertility and attitudes towards fertility of Black African immigrant women in Canada are examined. These include: ideal number of children; ideal number of Sons; currently preventing pregnancy; currently pregnant or trying to get pregnant; children ever born still living and more sons than daughters. The African women who participated in the study were all immigrants in Canada, selected from the different African communities. Only women in their child bearing years were selected. An attempt was made to include women from all the different categories of immigrants. Africans that were not black and blacks from North America and the Caribbean were excluded from the sample. Data collection for the study was at the micro-level. In total, 165 questionnaires, consisting of structured questions were handed out. Results revealed statistically significant relationships between ethnic assimilation and fertility and attitudes towards fertility. For example, a significant relationship existed between attending African dances, parties and informal social affairs, and currently preventing pregnancy, and pregnant or trying to get pregnant. A significant negative correlation was found between income and children ever born that were still living. Age too was found to be related to fertility, with women in the older age—group (35-44) reporting higher averages for ideal number of children and sons, as opposed to those in the younger age—groups and the entire population. Surprisingly enough, no significant relationships were recorded between level of education, feeling of ethnicity, maintenance of contact with homeland, years spent in Canada, residence in Africa, the category immigrants belonged to, and fertility as originally anticipated.

description: Non-ionizing energy loss causes bulk damage to the silicon sensors of the ATLAS pixel and strip detectors. This damage has important implications for data-taking operations, charged-particle track reconstruction, detector simulations, and physics analysis. This paper presents simulations and measurements of the leakage current in the ATLAS pixel detector and semiconductor tracker as a function of location in the detector and time, using data collected in Run 1 (2010-2012) and Run 2 (2015-2018) of the Large Hadron Collider. The extracted fluence shows a much stronger |z|-dependence in the innermost layers than is seen in simulation. Furthermore, the overall fluence on the second innermost layer is significantly higher than in simulation, with better agreement in layers at higher radii. These measurements are important for validating the simulation models and can be used in part to justify safety factors for future detector designs and interventions.

description: Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is an acute life-threatening disease usually treated with therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), but some patients are refractory to TPE. The study aimed to compare lymphoplasmapheresis (LPE), an innovative treatment for TTP based on plasma exchange, with TPE in TTP treatment. This retrospective study included patients with TTP treated at Xiang-Ya Hospital in China during 2009-2018. All patients with microangiopathic hemolysis and thrombocytopenia who received either LPE or TPE were included. The treatment outcomes were the number of sessions, volume of plasma, time in hospital, hospital costs, and rates of remission and relapse. All patients attended the hospital for follow-up. Forty-five patients were included in the study; 18 received TPE and 27 LPE. There were no significant differences in sex, etiology of TTP, initial platelet count, schistocyte, LDH, and bilirubin between the two groups. At the time of discharge, patients treated with TPE required more treatment sessions (4.5 vs. 2, P=0.04) and higher plasma volume (7300 vs. 3100 ml, P=0.01) than patients treated with LPE. The proportions of remission (P=0.197) and relapse (P=0.257) were not significantly different between the two groups. The time to remission from admission (P=0.75) and the time to remission from first therapy (P=0.53) were also not significantly different between the two groups. Compared with TPE, LPE reduced the number of treatment sessions and plasma volume needed to treat TTP. Therefore, we propose that LPE might be a suitable treatment for TTP.

description: Interference of scattered waves is fundamental for modern light-scattering techniques, such as optical wavefront shaping. Recently, a new type of wavefront shaping was introduced where the extinction is manipulated instead of the scattered intensity. The underlying idea is that upon changing the phases or the amplitudes of incident beams, the total extinction will change due to interference described by the cross terms between different incident beams. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the mutual extinction and transparency effects in scattering media, in particular, a human hair and a silicon bar. To this end, we send two light beams with a variable mutual angle on the sample. Depending on the relative phase of the incident beams we observe either nearly zero extinction, mutual transparency, or almost twice the single-beam extinction, mutual extinction, in agreement with theory. We use an analytical approximation for the scattering amplitude, starting from a completely opaque object and we discuss the limitations of our approximation. We discuss the applications of the mutual extinction and transparency effects in various fields such as non-line-of-sight communications, microscopy, and biomedical imaging.

Students’ mathematics achievement in Africa: a preliminary look at gender differences in sub-saharan cultures thecase of Nigeria and Swaziland
Creators: name: Frempong, George
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study compared gender differences in mathematics achievement in two sub-Saharan Africa cultures (Swaziland and Nigeria) using data from Second International Mathematics Study (SIMS). Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was also used to determine the appropriateness of SIMS hypothesized mathematics measurement model in assessing students of the two cultures. MANOVA with a follow up discriminant function analysis were used to investigate gender differences in means while differences in skewness and kurtosis of mathematics achievement distribution scores for males and females were compared using 95% confidence interval graphs of skewness and kurtosis. The analysis of the data indicated that gender differences in mathematics achievement in both countries were statistically significant, but substantively trivial (eta squared<0.013). Achievement distribution scores in all mathematical areas (Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Statistics and Measurement) were similar for males and females in the two countries except Geometry and Algebra in Swaziland. Gender differences in skewness and kurtosis were statistically significant (p = 0.05). For Algebra, there were gender differences in kurtosis only (p = 0.05). The CFA showed that the SIMS mathematics model did not fit well to the Swaziland and Nigeria data (GFI<0.803). The study concluded that there was little justification in assessing students in the two countries based on the SIMS model. However, based on the model it appeared that culture seemed to have little influence on gender differences in mathematics achievement in both countries. The two countries could therefore share educational policies without creating a gender gap in mathematics achievement. Further research using locally developed test items and involving more than two factors such as IQ and SES has been suggested.

Revisiting glueball wave functions at zero and finite temperature

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the sizes and thermal properties of glueballs in a three dimensional compact Abelian gauge model on improved lattice. We predict the radii of $\sim 0.60$ and $\sim 1.12$ in the units of string tension, or $\sim 0.28$ and $\sim 0.52$ fm, for the scalar and tensor glueballs, respectively. We perform a well controlled extrapolation of the radii to the continuum limit and observe that our results agree with the predicted values. Using Monte Carlo simulations, we extract the pole-mass of the lowest scalar and tensor glueballs from the temporal correlators at finite temperature. We see a clear evidence of the deconfined phase, and the transition appears to be similar to that of the two-dimensional XY model as expected from universality arguments. Our results show no significant changes in the glueball wave functions and masses in the deconfined phase.

description: We study the collider phenomenology of a Littlest Higgs model with T-parity. We first stress the important role of the T-odd SU(2) doublet fermions (introduced to make the model T-parity invariant) in high energy scattering processes, such as $q\bar{q}\to W_H^+ W_H^-$ where $W_H^\pm$ are the T-odd partners of $W$-bosons. Because the mass of the T-odd SU(2) doublet fermions cannot be too heavy to be consistent with low energy data, they can be copiously produced at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Therefore, we study the collider phenomenology of the model with emphasis on the contributions of the T-odd fermion to the production of the heavy T-parity partners (either bosons or fermions) of the usual particles at the LHC. The production cross sections and the decay branching ratios of the new heavy particles are classified and various experimental signatures are discussed.

Prehistoric Anasazi diet : a synthesis of archaeological evidence
Creators: name: Brand, Michael James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Prehistoric Anasazi diet from the Basketmaker II to Pueblo III periods is examined through a synthesis of four lines of archaeological data taken from the literature: faunal analysis, flotation and pollen analysis, coprolite analysis and stable carbon isotope analysis. This study examines the importance of com in Anasazi diet, the intensification of agricultural production and changes in diet which may be linked to the thirteenth century regional abandonments. The core resources, or dietary staples, in the Anasazi diet are identified for each period of the Anasazi tradition. The results indicate considerable similarity in the diets of the people from the four Anasazi branches discussed and throughout the time periods considered. The analysis demonstrates that corn was the primary resource in the Anasazi diet beginning in the Basketmaker II period. Squash and a number of wild plants also made substantial contributions to the diet. Evidence was found for stable agricultural production, with no indication of intensification aimed at the three commonly discussed cultigens: corn, squash and beans. The appearance of cotton in the later pueblo periods, however, may represent an attempt to increase food production through the adoption of a new cultigen. This study has found that the utilization of food resources remained stable throughout the Anasazi occupation of the Colorado Plateau, including the period immediately prior to the regional abandonments.

description: The recently discovered material Cs$_3$Fe$_2$Br$_9$ contains Fe$_2$Br$_9$ bi-octahedra forming triangular layers with hexagonal stacking along the $c$ axis. In contrast to isostructural Cr-based compounds, the zero-field ground state is not a nonmagnetic $S=0$ singlet-dimer state. Instead, the Fe$_2$Br$_9$ bi-octahedra host semiclassical $S=5/2$ Fe$^{3+}$ spins with a pronounced easy-axis anisotropy along $c$ and interestingly, the intra-dimer spins are ordered ferromagnetically. The high degree of magnetic frustration due to (various) competing intra- and inter-dimer couplings leads to a surprisingly rich magnetic phase diagram. Already the zero-field ground state is reached via an intermediate phase, and the high-field magnetization and thermal expansion data for $H\parallel c$ identify ten different ordered phases. Among them are phases with constant magnetization of 1/3, respectively 1/2 of the saturation value, and several transitions are strongly hysteretic with pronounced length changes reflecting strong magnetoelastic coupling.

description: Additional file 2: Fig. S1. Light sheet and bright field time-resolved observation allow quantitative analyses of micro-, meso- and macroscale dynamics. Using a light sheet-based fluorescent microscope time-resolved image stack of organoids are recorded. The high-resolution images are subjected to nuclei segmentation [22] for the quantification of dynamics on single cell level (microscale). Besides that, dynamics, such as size oscillation events, of individual organoids (mesoscale) can be analysed. The restricted throughput of this pipeline is matched with the analyses based on time-resolved bright field images. Here, the dynamics of high numbers of organoids are quantified based on the normalised (norm.) projected (proj.) luminal areas. The pipeline also enables the observation of entire organoid cultures (macroscale) within individual wells.

description: We present an ensemble X-ray analysis of systematic perturbations in the central hot gas properties for a sample of 28 nearby strong cool-core systems selected from the HIghest X-ray FLUx Galaxy Cluster Sample (HIFLUGCS). We analyze their cool-core features observed with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. All individual systems in our sample exhibit at least a pair of positive and negative excess perturbations in the X-ray residual image after subtracting the global brightness profile. We extract and analyze X-ray spectra of the intracluster medium (ICM) in the detected perturbed regions. To investigate possible origins of the gas perturbations, we characterize thermodynamic properties of the ICM in the perturbed regions and characterize their correlations between positive and negative excess regions. The best-fit relations for temperature and entropy show a clear offset from the one-to-one relation, $T_\mathrm{neg}/T_\mathrm{pos}=1.20^{+0.04}_{-0.03}$ and $K_\mathrm{neg}/K_\mathrm{pos}=1.43\pm 0.07$, whereas the best-fit relation for pressure is found to be remarkably consistent with the one-to-one relation $P_\mathrm{neg}=P_\mathrm{pos}$, indicating that the ICM in the perturbed regions is in pressure equilibrium. These observed features in the HIFLUGCS sample are in agreement with the hypothesis that the gas perturbations in cool cores are generated by gas sloshing. We also analyze synthetic observations of perturbed cluster cores created from binary merger simulations, finding that the observed temperature ratio agrees with the simulations, $T_\mathrm{neg}/T_\mathrm{pos}\sim 1.3$. We conclude that gas sloshing induced by infalling substructures plays a major role in producing the characteristic gas perturbations in cool cores. The ubiquitous presence of gas perturbations in cool cores may suggest a significant contribution of gas sloshing to suppressing runaway cooling of the ICM.

description: This study investigates the role of network capital in urban development by utilizing mergers and acquisitions as a flow metric to construct China's inter-urban capital flow network. First, an uneven geography of network capital is revealed, indicating regional disparity. Second, we identify a positive impact of outward- and gateway-network capital on urban economic growth. Additionally, the impact of the emergent network capital is moderated by local human capital and knowledge stock, indicating a networked agglomeration economy. The findings support a coordinative and place-based policy for fostering urban and regional development.

(b) The constant CO2 fumigation that is directed over the liquid column is not able to recover a lower pH-value over time. The pH-value of the medium changes from 8.5 to 8 but it never reaches the physiologically necessary 7.5 (liquid depth: 3 cm). The same is observed at 1 cm and 2 cm liquid depth. At the bottom of the chamber, the pH-value does not change within 48 h.

Kernel Granger causality and the analysis of dynamical networks

description: We propose a method of analysis of dynamical networks based on a recent measure of Granger causality between time series, based on kernel methods. The generalization of kernel Granger causality to the multivariate case, here presented, shares the following features with the bivariate measures: (i) the nonlinearity of the regression model can be controlled by choosing the kernel function and (ii) the problem of false-causalities, arising as the complexity of the model increases, is addressed by a selection strategy of the eigenvectors of a reduced Gram matrix whose range represents the additional features due to the second time series. Moreover, there is no {\it a priori} assumption that the network must be a directed acyclic graph. We apply the proposed approach to a network of chaotic maps and to a simulated genetic regulatory network: it is shown that the underlying topology of the network can be reconstructed from time series of node's dynamics, provided that a sufficient number of samples is available. Considering a linear dynamical network, built by preferential attachment scheme, we show that for limited data use of bivariate Granger causality is a better choice w.r.t methods using $L1$ minimization. Finally we consider real expression data from HeLa cells, 94 genes and 48 time points. The analysis of static correlations between genes reveals two modules corresponding to well known transcription factors; Granger analysis puts in evidence nineteen causal relationships, all involving genes related to tumor development.

The Hatzic Rock site

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This thesis describes the excavations conducted at the Hatzic Rock site (DgRn-23) during 1990 and 1991 and describes the analysis of structural remains and artifacts. The site is located in the Fraser River valley and contains three occupation zones al l dating to the Charles Culture (ca. 4500-4700 BP). Structural remains were shown to possess similarities with ethnohistoric shed-roof and pithouse dwellings from the area. The structure was also found to possess similarities with a Charles Culture structure from the Maurer site (DhRk8) and a proto-historic structure from the McCallum site (DhRk-2). The observed similarities suggest continuity in structure design from the Charles Culture to the ethnohistoric period, however, a lack of clarity in the Hatzic data and poor comparative data detracts from this hypothesis. The analysis of artifacts from the Hatzic Rock site indicated differences between the three occupation zones were minor with the exception of occupation zone III. Occupation zone III contains a high proportion of stemmed projectile point classes and pebble tools. Anvil stones are absent in occupation zone III and pebble flake tool proportions are lower than in occupation zones I and II. The comparison of the Hatzic Rock site artifact assemblage to other Charles Culture assemblages indicates core and pebble tool proportions are much higher at the Hatzic Rock site. Similarly, the Hatzic Rock site artifact assemblage contains a high proportion of utilized flakes in relation to other Charles Culture sites. Retouched flake tools and formed unifaces were shown to be proportionately less represented at the Hatzic Rock site than at other Charles Culture sites. Differences in site function, location and age are thought to account for the differences between artifact assemblages.
On Impedance Bandwidth of Resonant Patch Antennas Implemented Using Structures with Engineered Dispersion

description: We consider resonant patch antennas, implemented using loaded transmission-line networks and other exotic structures having engineered dispersion. An analytical expression is derived for the ratio of radiation quality factors of such antennas and conventional patch antennas loaded with (reference) dielectrics. In the ideal case this ratio depends only on the propagation constant and wave impedance of the structure under test, and it can be conveniently used to study what kind of dispersion leads to improved impedance bandwidth. We illustrate the effect of dispersion by implementing a resonant patch antenna using a periodic network of LC elements. The analytical results predicting enhanced impedance bandwidth compared to the reference results are validated using a commercial circuit simulator. Discussion is conducted on the practical limitations for the use of the proposed expression.

Separation cut-offs for birth and death chains

description: This paper gives a necessary and sufficient condition for a sequence of birth and death chains to converge abruptly to stationarity, that is, to present a cut-off. The condition involves the notions of spectral gap and mixing time. Y. Peres has observed that for many families of Markov chains, there is a cut-off if and only if the product of spectral gap and mixing time tends to infinity. We establish this for arbitrary birth and death chains in continuous time when the convergence is measured in separation and the chains all start at 0.
