description: This work is an attempt to test the concept of hydrodynamic charge (analogous to the electric charge in Electromagnetism) in the simple case of a coherent structure such as the Burgers vortex. We provide experimental measurements of both the so-called Lamb vector and its divergence (the charge) by two-dimensional Particle Image Velocimetry. In addition, we perform a Helmholtz-Hodge decomposition of the Lamb vector in order to explore its topological features. We compare the charge with the well-known Q criterion in order to assess its interest in detecting and characterizing coherent structure. Usefulness of this concept in studies of vortex dynamics is demonstrated.

description: High resolution Fabry-Perot data of six spiral galaxies are presented. Those data extend the previous sample of spiral galaxies studied with high resolution 3D spectroscopy to earlier morphological types. All the galaxies in the sample have available HI data at 21 cm from the VLA or Westerbork. Velocity fields are analyzed and Halpha rotation curves are computed and compared to HI curves. The kinematics of NGC 5055 central regions are looked at more closely. Its peculiar kinematics can be interpreted either as a bipolar outflow or as a counter-rotating disk, possibly hosting a 9 pm 2 10^8 Msol compact object. Most of the Halpha rotation curves present a significantly steeper inner slope than their HI counterparts. The 21 cm data thus seems affected by moderate to strong beam smearing. The beam smearing has an effect at higher scale-length/beam-width than previously thought (up to 20 km/s at a ratio of 8.5).

description: Purpose: Cultural competence is crucial for the successful provision of speech, language, and hearing services. The purpose of this study was to assess and describe gains in cultural awareness, cultural competence, and self-efficacy after service-learning study abroad experiences and to examine whether gains in these areas are related to higher clinical skills ratings in speech-language pathology and audiology students.Method: Sixteen speech-language pathology and audiology students participated in two international study abroad experiences (Nicaragua and Malawi). Students completed a survey on cultural awareness, competence, and self-efficacy beliefs and journal entries before, during, and after their trips. In addition, the supervisors assessed the clinical skills of the students by the end of the trip. The researchers applied a mixed-methods approach to analyze data from the survey, clinical ratings, and journals.Results: Students showed significant increases in cultural awareness, competence, and self-efficacy. Gains in self-efficacy and cultural awareness were highly correlated with students’ clinical ratings in cultural competence as judged by their supervisors. Two main themes were identified from the journal entries: continuing community involvement and growth in cultural self-efficacy.Conclusion: Service-learning study abroad experiences help students develop cultural awareness and competence skills and increase their self-efficacy beliefs. Using a mixed-methods approach can help identify strengths and weaknesses in the training of speech-language pathology and audiology students with regard to cultural competence.

Detecting microclimatic biases in historical temperature records
Creators: name: Runnalls, Kathryn Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The quality of historical climate data is a fundamental consideration in climate change research. This thesis considers the problem of microclimatic biases in observed surface-level air temperatures, and the effect of these biases on the homogeneity of historical temperature records. An extensive literature review describes causes of potential biases in air temperature records, and demonstrates that climate station siting biases, in the form of microclimatic change in the surrounding environment, are particularly difficult to detect by conventional homogeneity analysis techniques. Such biases are therefore potentially still present in many of the records used to monitor global climate change. The microclimatic processes responsible for thermal biases in temperature records are reviewed to demonstrate the relevant physical principles. A new technique to detect microclimatic inhomogeneities in temperature records is presented. The technique is based on the construction of time series of cooling ratios derived from nocturnal cooling at neighbouring climate stations calculated from daily maximum and minimum temperatures. The 'cooling ratio' is shown to be a particularly sensitive measure of the relative microclimatic differences between neighbouring climate stations, because larger-scale climatic influences common to both stations are removed by the use of a ratio and, because the ratio is invariant in the mean with weather variables such as wind and cloud. Discontinuities in the time series of cooling ratios indicate microclimatic change in one of the temperature records. Hurst rescaling (Hurst, 1951) is applied to several time series of cooling ratios, and is shown to be helpful in identifying discontinuities in the time series. The technique is tested on several Canadian historical temperature records, and proven to effectively identify subtle microclimatic changes such as minor station relocations, vegetation growth, and encroachment of buildings and parking lots. Results of this technique are compared to those from other homogeneity assessment techniques, and the cooling ratio approach is shown to be better suited to the detection of microclimatic biases. The technique is also shown to be useful in the assessment of the homogeneity of urban temperature records. Finally, since the research highlights the significance of having detailed station metadata, recommendations are made to improve the utility of such records, along with suggestions for future research.

description: A scenario of heavy resonances, called massive Hagedorn states, is proposed which exhibits a fast ($t\approx 1$ fm/c) chemical equilibration of (strange) baryons and anti-baryons at the QCD critical temperature $T_c$. For relativistic heavy ion collisions this scenario predicts that hadronization is followed by a brief expansion phase during which the equilibration rate is higher than the expansion rate, so that baryons and antibaryons reach chemical equilibrium before chemical freeze-out occurs.

Electron-Phonon mechanism for Superconductivity in Na$_{0.35}$CoO$_2$: Valence-Band Suhl-Kondo effect Driven by Shear Phonons

description: To study the possible mechanism of superconductivity in Na$_{0.35}$CoO$_2$, we examine the interaction between all the relevant optical phonons (breathing and shear phonons) and $t_{2g}(a_{1g}+e_g')$-electrons of Co-ions, and study the transition temperature for a s-wave superconductivity. The obtained $T_{\rm c}$ is very low when the $e_g'$-valence-bands are far below the Fermi level. However, $T_{\rm c}$ is strongly enhanced when the top of the $e_g'$-valence-bands is close to the Fermi level (say -50meV), thanks to interband hopping of Cooper pairs caused by shear phonons. This ``valence-band Suhl-Kondo mechanism'' due to shear phonons is significant to understand the superconductivity in Na$_{0.35}$CoO$_2$. By the same mechanism, the kink structure of the band-dispersion observed by ARPES, which indicates the strong mass-enhancement ($m^\ast/m\sim3$) due to optical phonons, is also explained.

description: We demonstrate a fully self-consistent microscopic realization of a kaon-condensed colour-flavour locked state (CFLK0) within the context of a mean-field NJL model at high density. The properties of this state are shown to be consistent with the QCD low-energy effective theory once the proper gauge neutrality conditions are satisfied, and a simple matching procedure is used to compute the pion decay constant, which agrees with the perturbative QCD result. The NJL model is used to compare the energies of the CFLK0 state to the parity even CFL state, and to determine locations of the metal/insulator transition to a phase with gapless fermionic excitations in the presence of a non-zero hypercharge chemical potential and a non-zero strange quark mass. The transition points are compared with results derived previously via effective theories and with partially self-consistent NJL calculations. We find that the qualitative physics does not change, but that the transitions are slightly lower.

description: Inspired by the Deffuant and Hegselmann-Krause models of opinion dynamics, we extend the Kuramoto model to account for confidence bounds, i.e., vanishing interactions between pairs of oscillators when their phases differ by more than a certain value. We focus on Kuramoto oscillators with peaked, bimodal distribution of natural frequencies. We show that, in this case, the fixed-points for the extended model are made of certain numbers of independent clusters of oscillators, depending on the length of the confidence bound -- the interaction range -- and the distance between the two peaks of the bimodal distribution of natural frequencies. This allows us to construct the phase diagram of attractive fixed-points for the bimodal Kuramoto model with bounded confidence and to analytically explain clusterization in dynamical systems with bounded confidence.

We consider spherically symmetric solutions of \Box_gϕ=G(ϕ) where g is a Schwarzschild or more generally a Reissner-Nordstrom metric, and such that ϕand \nabla ϕare compactly supported on a complete Cauchy surface. It is proven that for p> 4, such solutions do not blow up in the domain of outer communications, provided the initial data are small. Moreover, |ϕ|\le C(\max\{v,1\})^{-1}, where v denotes an Eddington-Finkelstein advanced time coordinate.

description: A partial wave analysis is presented of $J/ψ\to ϕπ^+π^-$ and $ϕK^+K^-$ from a sample of 58M $J/ψ$ events in the BES II detector. The $f_0(980)$ is observed clearly in both sets of data, and parameters of the Flatt\' e formula are determined accurately: $M = 965 \pm 8$ (stat) $\pm 6$ (syst) MeV/c$^2$, $g_1 = 165 \pm 10 \pm 15 $ MeV/c$^2$, $g_2/g_1 = 4.21 \pm 0.25 \pm 0.21$. The $ϕππ$ data also exhibit a strong $ππ$ peak centred at $M = 1335$ MeV/c$^2$. It may be fitted with $f_2(1270)$ and a dominant $0^+$ signal made from $f_0(1370)$ interfering with a smaller $f_0(1500)$ component. There is evidence that the $f_0(1370)$ signal is resonant, from interference with $f_2(1270)$. There is also a state in $ππ$ with $M = 1790 ^{+40}_{-30}$ MeV/c$^2$ and $Γ= 270 ^{+60}_{-30}$ MeV/c$^2$; spin 0 is preferred over spin 2. This state, $f_0(1790)$, is distinct from $f_0(1710)$. The $ϕK\bar K$ data contain a strong peak due to $f_2'(1525)$. A shoulder on its upper side may be fitted by interference between $f_0(1500)$ and $f_0(1710)$.

description: Emotions underpin so much of everyday life, at work or at play. Collective emotions exist and, as a form of social capital, affect work outcomes as well as group stability (Field, 2006).Emotional Capital and risk in work teams are embodied in routine activities as well as the ‘Aha moments’, epiphanies, ‘breakthrough’ phenomena or team crises. Further there is an element of emotional contagion involved which can be observed by others (Barsade, 2002).The research described here was initially carried out over two years and involved over 130 individual reflective logs and diaries from MBAs engaged on live consulting projects. Teams were self-organised and negotiated project terms with ‘host managers’ without assistance from any academic staff. Each of the teams agreed the same 10 core project obligations. Subsequent work in Australia and New Zealand has been carried out to evaluate the results when applied to non-MBA work teams.

Nonstatistical ring-like substructures in azimuthal plane of the collision have been found and their parameters have been determined. The indication on the formation of the ring-like substructures from two symmetrical emission cones - one in the forward and other in the backward direction in the center-of mass system have been obtained. The ring-like substructures parameters have been determined. The experimental results are in an agreement with I.M. Dremin idea, that mechanism of the ring-like substructures formation in nuclear collisions is similar to that of Cherenkov electromagnetic radiation.

description: We address the topic of the Intra-Night Optical Variability of the BL Lac object S5 0716+714. To this purpose a long term observational campaign was performed, from 1996 to 2003, which allowed the collection of a very large data set, containing 10,675 photometric measurements obtained in 102 nights. The source brightness varied in a range of about 2 mag, although the majority of observations were performed when it was in the range 13.0 < R < 13.75. Variability time scales were estimated from the rates of magnitude variation, which were found to have a distribution function well fitted by an exponential law with a mean value of 0.027 mag/h, corresponding to an e-folding time scale of the flux tau_F = 37.6 h. The highest rates of magnitude variation were around 0.10--0.12 mag/h and lasted less than 2 h. These rates were observed only when the source had an R magnitude < 13.4, but this finding cannot be considered significant because of the low statistical occurrence. The distribution of tau_F has a well defined modal value at 19 h. Assuming the recent estimate of the beaming factor delta about 20, we derived a typical size of the emitting region of about 5 times 10^{16}/(1 + z) cm. The possibility to search for a possible correlation between the mean magnitude variation rate and the long term changes of the velocity of superluminal components in the jet is discussed.

description: We analyze the decay of Rabi oscillations in a charge qubit consisting of a Cooper pair box connected to a finite-size superconductor by a Josephson junction. We concentrate on the contribution of quasiparticles in the superconductors to the decay rate. Passing of a quasiparticle through the Josephson junction tunes the qubit away from the charge degeneracy, thus spoiling the Rabi oscillations. We find the temperature dependence of the quasiparticle contribution to the decay rate for open and isolated systems. The former case is realized if a normal-state trap is included in the circuit, or if just one vortex resides in the qubit; the decay rate has an activational temperature dependence with the activation energy equal to the superconducting gap $Δ$. In a superconducting qubit isolated from the environment, the activation energy equals $2Δ$ if the number of electrons is even, while for an odd number of electrons the decay rate of an excited qubit state remains finite in the limit of zero temperature. We estimate the decay rate for realistic parameters of a qubit.

The role of gliotactin in the formation of Drosophila septate junctions
Creators: name: Schulte, Joost
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Gliotactin is a non-catalytically active, serinesterase-like, transmembrane protein that is required for the formation of the blood-nerve barrier in Drosophila. Gliotactin is expressed by the peripheral nervous system glia, which ensheath motor and sensory axons. Pleated septate junctions present between the wraps of peripheral glia have previously been shown to be required for blood-nerve barrier formation, and are believed to have a role in cell-cell adhesion. In gliotactin mutants, peripheral glia display wrapping defects at the distal reaches of embryonic peripheral nerves. Paralysis and death occurs in gliotactin mutants, as the disrupted blood-nerve barrier exposes neurons to the high potassium concentration of the haemolymph which causes action potential blockade. It has been hypothesized that the blood-nerve barrier and ensheathment phenotypes observed in gliotactin mutants arises from abnormal pleated septate junction development, or from a defect in other cellular events during peripheral glial development. Here, the role of Gliotactin in Drosophila pleated septate junction development was investigated. Through mutant analysis and cell biological techniques, it was found that Gliotactin is necessary for septate junction development, yet has a role that is unique from other previously identified pleated septate junction proteins. In addition to being expressed in the peripheral nervous system glia, Gliotactin was also found to be expressed in the epidermis, salivary glands, and a variety of other pleated septate junction containing tissues. Gliotactin in the epidermis and salivary glands is found concentrated at regions where three cells meet and is only partially overlapping with other septate junction proteins. At these tricellular junctions, Gliotactin physically associates with septate junction proteins, as demonstrated through co-immunoprecipitation experiments. Through dye injection assays, it was demonstrated that loss of Gliotactin results in the disruption of the integrity of the transepithelial barrier in the salivary gland, similar to other pleated septate junction mutants. A model is proposed in which Gliotactin at tricellular corners acts as a physical link between pleated septate junctions and specialized structures, termed tricellular plugs which have previously been identified at tricellular junctions.

description: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in which patients have difficulties related to inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Those patients are in need of a psychological therapy use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to enhance the way they think and behave. This type of therapy is mostly common in treating patients with anxiety and depression but also is useful in treating autism, obsessive compulsive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. A major limitation of traditional CBT is that therapists may face difficulty in optimizing patients' neuropsychological stimulus following a specified treatment plan. Other limitations include availability, accessibility and level-of-experience of the therapists. Hence, this paper aims to design and simulate a generic cognitive model that can be used as an appropriate alternative treatment to traditional CBT, we term as "AR-Therapist." This model takes advantage of the current developments of augmented reality to engage patients in both real and virtual game-based environments.

description: Temperature is one of the most relevant physical quantities that affects almost all processes in nature. However, the realization of accurate temperature standards using current temperature references, like the triple point of water, is difficult due to the requirements on material purity and stability of the environment. In addition, in harsh environments, current temperature sensors with electrical readout, like platinum resistors, are difficult to implement, urging the development of optical temperature sensors. In 2018, the European consortium Photoquant, consisting of metrological institutes and academic partners, started investigating new temperature standards for self-calibrated, embedded optomechanical sensor applications, as well as optimised high resolution and high reliability photonic sensors, to measure temperature at the nano and meso-scales and as a possible replacement for the standard platinum resistant thermometers. This article presents an overview of the results obtained with sensor prototypes that exploit photonic and optomechanical techniques for sensing temperatures over a large temperature range (5 K to 300 K). Different concepts are demonstrated, including ring resonators, ladder-like resonators and suspended membrane optomechanical thermometers, highlighting initial performance and challenges, like self-heating that need to be overcome to realize photonic and optomechanical thermometry applications.

description: This paper describes an open data set of 3,053 energy meters from 1,636 non-residential buildings with a range of two full years (2016 and 2017) at an hourly frequency (17,544 measurements per meter resulting in approximately 53.6 million measurements). These meters were collected from 19 sites across North America and Europe, with one or more meters per building measuring whole building electrical, heating and cooling water, steam, and solar energy as well as water and irrigation meters. Part of these data were used in the Great Energy Predictor III (GEPIII) competition hosted by the ASHRAE organization in October-December 2019. GEPIII was a machine learning competition for long-term prediction with an application to measurement and verification. This paper describes the process of data collection, cleaning, and convergence of time-series meter data, the meta-data about the buildings, and complementary weather data. This data set can be used for further prediction benchmarking and prototyping as well as anomaly detection, energy analysis, and building type classification.

description: The interaction of a five-level atomic system involving electromagnetically induced transparency with four light fields is investigated. Two different light-atom configurations are considered, and their efficiency in generating large nonlinear cross-phase shifts compared. The dispersive properties of those schemes are analyzed in detail, and the conditions leading to group velocity matching for two of the light fields identified. An analytical treatment based on amplitude equations is used in order to obtain approximate solutions for the susceptibilities, ehich are shown to fit well with the numerical simulations of the full Bloch equations in a large parameter region.

description: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are mysterious radio bursts with a time scale of approximately milliseconds. Two populations of FRB, namely repeating and non-repeating FRBs, are observationally identified. However, the differences between these two and their origins are still cloaked in mystery. Here we show the time-integrated luminosity-duration ($L_ν$-$w_{\rm int,rest}$) relations and luminosity functions (LFs) of repeating and non-repeating FRBs in the FRB Catalogue project. These two populations are obviously separated in the $L_ν$-$w_{\rm int,rest}$ plane with distinct LFs, i.e., repeating FRBs have relatively fainter $L_ν$ and longer $w_{\rm int,rest}$ with a much lower LF. In contrast with non-repeating FRBs, repeating FRBs do not show any clear correlation between $L_ν$ and $w_{\rm int,rest}$. These results suggest essentially different physical origins of the two. The faint ends of the LFs of repeating and non-repeating FRBs are higher than volumetric occurrence rates of neutron-star mergers and accretion-induced collapse (AIC) of white dwarfs, and are consistent with those of soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs), type Ia supernovae, magnetars, and white-dwarf mergers. This indicates two possibilities: either (i) faint non-repeating FRBs originate in neutron-star mergers or AIC and are actually repeating during the lifetime of the progenitor, or (ii) faint non-repeating FRBs originate in any of SGRs, type Ia supernovae, magnetars, and white-dwarf mergers. The bright ends of LFs of repeating and non-repeating FRBs are lower than any candidates of progenitors, suggesting that bright FRBs are produced from a very small fraction of the progenitors regardless of the repetition. Otherwise, they might originate in unknown progenitors.

description: Reconstruction of segmental bone defects by autologous bone grafting is still the standard of care but presents challenges including anatomical availability and potential donor site morbidity. The process of 3D bioprinting, the application of 3D printing for direct fabrication of living tissue, opens new possibilities for highly personalized tissue implants, making it an appealing alternative to autologous bone grafts. One of the most crucial hurdles for the clinical application of 3D bioprinting is the choice of a suitable cell source, which should be minimally invasive, with high osteogenic potential, with fast, easy expansion. In this study, mesenchymal progenitor cells were isolated from clinically relevant human bone biopsy sites (explant cultures from alveolar bone, iliac crest and fibula; bone marrow aspirates; and periosteal bone shaving from the mastoid) and 3D bioprinted using projection-based stereolithography. Printed constructs were cultivated for 28 days and analyzed regarding their osteogenic potential by assessing viability, mineralization, and gene expression. While viability levels of all cell sources were comparable over the course of the cultivation, cells obtained by periosteal bone shaving showed higher mineralization of the print matrix, with gene expression data suggesting advanced osteogenic differentiation. These results indicate that periosteum-derived cells represent a highly promising cell source for translational bioprinting of bone tissue given their superior osteogenic potential as well as their minimally invasive obtainability.

description: This work studied the formation of aggregates used for wastewater treatment in high-rate algal ponds (HRAP). For this, the establishment of microalgae-bacteria aggregates in these systems was evaluated, considering strategies for the inoculation and start-up. Two HRAP were operated in parallel, at first in batch mode and then in continuous flow. The wastewater treatment was efficient, with removal rates around 80% for COD and N-ammoniacal. Volatile suspended solids and chlorophyll for the culture grew continuously reached a concentration of 548 ± 11 mg L-1 and 7.8 mg L-1, respectively. Larger photogranules were observed when the system was placed in a continuous regime. The protein fraction of extracellular polymeric substances was identified as a determinant in photogranules formation. During the continuous regime, more than 50% of the biomass was higher than 0.2 mm, flocculation efficiency of 78 ± 6%, and the volumetric sludge index of 32 ± 5 mL g-1. The genetic sequencing showed the growth of cyanobacteria in the aggregate and the presence of microalgae from the chlorophytes and diatoms groups in the final biomass.
Study on Unconventional Superconductors via Angle-resolved Specific Heat

description: The gap function in unconventional superconductors may vanish at points or lines in momentum space, permitting electronic excitations, termed nodal quasiparticles, to exist at temperatures well below the superconducting transition. In the vortex phase, the presence of nodal quasiparticles should be directly observable through the variation of the heat capacity with the angle between a magnetic field and the location of the zeroes of the gap. The heat capacity of candidate non-magnetic unconventional superconductors Lu(Y)Ni2B2C were found to exhibit fourfold oscillations with field angle, the first such observation. The observed angular variations are in quantitative agreement with theory, confirming that quasiparticles are created via Doppler shifts at nodes along <100>. Anomalous disorder effects have been also observed in the field-angle dependent heat capacity C_{p}(α). In a slightly disordered sample, anomalous secondary minima along <110> appeared for μ_{0}H > 1 T, leading to an eightfold pattern. The coexistence of an anisotropic superconducting gap and nonlocal effects is shown to drive the anomalous behavior. These results demonstrate that field-angle-dependent heat capacity can be a powerful tool in probing the momentum-space gap structure in unconventional superconductors such as high T_{c} cuprates, heavy fermions, borocarbides, etc.

description: We study the nonlinear thermoelectric cooling performance of a quantum spin Hall system. The setup consists of a nanomagnet contacting a Kramers' pair of helical edge states, resulting in a transmission probability with a rich structure containing peaks, well-type, and step-type features. We present a detailed analysis of the impact of all these features on the cooling performance, based to a large extent on analytical results. We analyze the cooling power as well as the coefficient of performance of the device. Since the basic features we study may be present in the transmission function of other mesoscopic conductors, our conclusions provide useful insights to analyze the nonlinear thermoelectric behavior of a wide class of quantum devices. The combination of all these properties define the response of the quantum spin Hall setup, for which we provide some realistic estimates for the conditions limiting and optimizing its operation as a cooling device.

description: The ArDM project aims at developing and operating large noble liquid detectors to search for direct evidence of Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) as Dark Matter in the Universe. The initial goal is to design, assemble and operate a $\approx$1 ton liquid Argon prototype to demonstrate the feasibility of a ton-scale experiment with the required performance to efficiently detect and sufficiently discriminate backgrounds for a successful WIMP detection. Our design addresses the possibility to detect independently ionization and scintillation signals. In this paper, we describe this goal and the conceptual design of the detector.
