Building an ecosystem services value at risk conceptual framework for sustainability, efficiency and fairness in resource management : starting values from marine ecosystems
Creators: name: Infante, Maria Cristina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The primary research problem addressed in this thesis is the development of a conceptual framework for a novel ecological economics risk measure called “ecosystem services value at risk” to guide sustainability, efficiency and fairness in the human use of natural ecosystems. Ecosystem services value at risk integrates ecosystem services valuation with financial value at risk to provide an estimate of a “worst likely loss” in ecosystem services under alternative policies. This new approach estimates the uncertainty around ecosystem services values from human activities. By framing the risk to ecosystem services in terms of loss, this risk measure conveys a more powerful message about the need to protect nature. The core elements of an ecosystem services value at risk framework are: ecosystem services valuation; total economic value; stochastic ecological resource use models; financial value at risk; intergenerational discounting; society’s time frame for evaluation; and decision rules. This research is multidisciplinary, drawing insights from ecological economics, finance, fisheries economics, ecological modeling and decision analysis. Ecosystem services value at risk is illustrated with marine examples, which are timely and critical. Marine ecosystems, which provide valuable and essential benefits to humankind, are being severely altered all over the world from overfishing, climate change, marine pollution and habitat destruction. The risk measure is shown to be meaningful by applying a stochastic Schaefer surplus production model to a well-studied marine example, Namibian hake. A case study of the collapsed Georges Bank yellowtail flounder further demonstrates its usefulness to marine policy evaluation. A simple risk measure based on the market values of catch provisioning services leads to selecting conservative harvest policies, ruling out high levels of fishing intensity. The non-market values of a second type of ecosystem service, the regulating services from conserved biomass, are next considered. Both values provide a distribution for a lower bound estimate of the ecosystem services value at risk for the marine ecosystem. Including regulating services allows even more precautionary strategies that favor conservation. The ecosystem services value at risk framework thus supports sustainability and ecosystem resilience, promising to help protect the flow of benefits from nature for current and future generations.

description: The electronic structure of LaOFeAs, a parent compound of iron-arsenic superconductors, is studied by angleresolved photoemission spectroscopy. By examining its dependence on photon energy, polarization, sodium dosing and the counting of Fermi surface volume, both the bulk and the surface contributions are identified. We find that a bulk band moves toward high binding energies below structural transition, and shifts smoothly across the spin density wave transition by about 25 meV. Our data suggest the band reconstruction may play a crucial role in the spin density wave transition, and the structural transition is driven by the short range magnetic order. For the surface states, both the LaO-terminated and FeAs-terminated components are revealed. Certain small band shifts are verified for the FeAs-terminated surface states in the spin density wave state, which is a reflection of the bulk electronic structure reconstruction. Moreover, sharp quasiparticle peaks quickly rise at low temperatures, indicating of drastic reduction of the scattering rate. A kink structure in one of the surface band is shown to be possibly related to the electron-phonon interactions.

Searching for the trigger of the AGN QPO: 8 years of RE J1034+396

description: RE J1034+396 is one of the most extreme Narrow-line Seyfert 1s detected thus far, showing the only quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) reliably detected in an Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN). Comparison with similar spectral and timing properties observed in the black hole X-ray binary (BHB) GRS 1915+105 suggests that RE J1034+396 is a super-Eddington accretor. A more complete understanding of the behaviour of RE J1034+396 can therefore lead to a unification of the accretion physics between such extreme AGN and super-Eddington BHBs. Here we report on our latest XMM-Newton observations of RE J1034+396, which no longer show the QPO, indicating that this source shows a non-stationary power-spectrum. We use spectral and temporal analysis across all five XMM-Newton observations of the source to probe the evolution of the object. The combination of the shape of the fractional variability with energy and the inferred velocity of absorbing material in the line-of-sight rules out an absorption-only method of creating the QPO. Instead the periodically changing absorption may be produced by the QPO causing a change in ionization state. We extend our analysis by including the covariance spectra which give much better signal to noise than an rms spectrum. These reveal a new aspect of the QPO, which is that there is also a small contribution from a soft component which is hotter than the soft excess seen in the mean spectrum. Folding the lightcurve on the QPO period shows that this component lags behind the hard X-rays. If this is due to re-processing then the lag corresponding to a light travel time across 30 R_g. Some of the remaining observations have similar energy spectra and covariance spectra, but none of them show a significant QPO, so we conclude that none of these features are the trigger for the appearance of the QPO in this object.

The Stellar Ages and Masses of Short GRB Host Galaxies: Investigating the Progenitor Delay Time Distribution and the Role of Mass and Star Formation in the Short GRB Rate

description: [Abridged] We present optical and NIR observations of 19 short GRB host galaxies, aimed at measuring their stellar masses and population ages. The goals of this study are to evaluate whether short GRBs track the stellar mass distribution of galaxies, to investigate the progenitor delay time distribution, and to explore any connection between long and short GRB progenitors. Using single stellar population models we infer masses of log(M/M_sun)=8.8-11.6 and population ages of tau=0.03-4.4 Gyr. We further infer maximal masses of log(M/M_sun)=9.7-11.9 by assuming stellar population ages equal to the age of the universe at each host's redshift. Comparing the distribution of stellar masses to the general galaxy mass function we find that short GRBs track the cosmic stellar mass distribution only if the late-type hosts generally have maximal masses. However, there is an apparent dearth of early-type hosts compared to the equal contribution of early- and late-type galaxies to the cosmic stellar mass budget. These results suggest that stellar mass may not be the sole parameter controlling the short GRB rate, and raise the possibility of a two-component model with both mass and star formation playing a role. If short GRBs in late-type galaxies indeed track the star formation activity, the resulting typical delay time is ~0.2 Gyr, while those in early-type hosts have a typical delay of ~3 Gyr. Using the same stellar population models we fit the data for 22 long GRB hosts and find that they have lower masses and younger population ages, with =9.1 and =0.06 Gyr, respectively; their maximal masses are similarly lower, =9.6. Most importantly, the two host populations remain distinct even if we consider only the star-forming hosts of short GRBs, supporting our previous findings that the progenitors of long GRBs and short GRBs in late-type galaxies are distinct.

description: The nominal syntax has been used in many application contexts for almost two decades. It is a powerful tool for dealing with variable binding in a concrete manner that can be applied to any specification in which parameters are used to abstract variables, such as in predicates and functions. In the nominal syntax, syntactically different objects can have the same semantics modulo alpha-conversion, as happens in the lambda calculus. Dealing with equality, and in special with alpha-equivalence, is essential in formal languages and implementations. This work investigates the nominal alpha-equivalence with associative (A), commutative (C) and associative-comutative (AC) function symbols. Equalitychecking, matching and unification modulo A, C and AC are investigated. Regarding equality-checking, nominal alpha-equivalence modulo A, C and AC are specified in Coq and proved sound. An algorithm implemented in OCaml for equality-checking modulo A, C and AC is automatically extracted from the specification and experiments are performed using also an improved algorithm. Upper bounds for solving nominal equality-checking problems are given. A rule-based nominal unification modulo C algorithm is specified in Coq and proved sound and complete. By using protected variables, this unification algorithm solves nominal matching problems modulo C, which is formalised to be sound and complete. The rule-based nominal unification algorithm outputs a finite family of sets of fixed point nominal equations. Each of which might have an infinite set of independent solutions. Therefore, nominal unification modulo C or AC are proved to potentially generate infinite independent solutions. This contrasts with syntactic unification modulo C or AC that are known to be in the finitary class. An OCaml implementation of the nominal unification algorithm is provided and used to build examples.

description: It has been shown that the old-fashioned idea of Sakharov's induced gravity and gauge interactions in the "one-loop dominance" version works astonishingly well yielding reasonable parameters. It appears that induced coupling constants of gauge interactions of the standard model assume qualitatively realistic values. Moreover, it is possible to induce the Barbero--Immirzi parameter of canonical gravity from the fields entering the standard model.

description: The value of the internal energy per spin is independent of the strip width for a certain class of spin systems on two dimensional infinite strips. It is verified that the Ising model on the kagome lattice belongs to this class through an exact transfer-matrix calculation of the internal energy for the two smallest widths. More generally, one can suggest an upper bound for the critical coupling strength $K_c(q)$ for the $q$-state Potts model from exact calculations of the internal energy for the two smallest strip widths. Combining this with the corresponding calculation for the dual lattice and using an exact duality relation enables us to conjecture the critical coupling strengths for the three- and four-state Potts models on the kagome lattice. The values are $K_c(q=3)=1.056~509~426~929~0$ and $K_c(q=4) = 1.149~360~587~229~2$, and the values can, in principle, be obtained to an arbitrary precision. We discuss the fact that these values are in the middle of earlier approximate results and furthermore differ from earlier conjectures for the exact values.

Hydraulic Stimulation
Induced Seismicity
Kaiser Effect
Pressure Compartments
Slip Tendency
Fractured Reservoirs

description: Stimulation operations enhance the performance of geothermal reservoirs by boosting fluid flow and heat transfer. Predicting stimulation outcomes is challenging due to complexity of reservoir properties and limited observations given by operational conditions. Factors like stress state, natural structures, pressure distribution, and injection patterns play crucial roles in engineering of a stimulation operation. This study provides in-depth observations from a hectometer-scale stimulation experiment conducted at the Bedretto Underground Laboratory for Geosciences and Geoenergies within a densely monitored crystalline rock volume with an overburden of more than 1 km. We found that hydraulic connectivity, pressure compartments, and the characteristics of existing geological structures play pivotal roles in the propagation patterns of seismic events. Notably, the initiation and distribution of seismicity are markedly influenced by the zonal isolation and the structured propagation of pressure front across the reservoir. The research highlights the necessity of adapting stimulation strategies to the unique geomechanical as well as geological characteristics of the reservoir, as evident from the distinct activation patterns observed between the first and second injection cycles. The spatial extent of the stimulated volume can be partially guided by the number of stimulation cycles and injection pressure level, as farther structures are increasingly likely to be activated in the subsequent cycles. The results also indicate that the Kaiser effect is more pronounced in regions closer to the injection borehole. However, this effect can be attenuated due to stress changes caused by stimulation, consistent with a proposition from a recent study. Our findings underscore the critical importance of understanding the interplay between hydraulic pressures and stress states to optimize the stimulation of geothermal reservoirs effectively.
Monotonic and cyclic shear loading response of fine-grained gold tailings
Creators: name: Seidalinova, Ainur
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The monotonic, cyclic and post-cyclic shear response of gold tailings was investigated using constant-volume direct simple shear test device. The reconstituted gold tailings specimens normally consolidated to vertical effective stress levels ranging from 50 kPa to 400 kPa initially exhibited contractive behaviour followed by a dilative response under monotonic loading, with their shear stiffness and strength increasing with increasing initial effective confining stress. Overconsolidated specimens developed negative excess pore pressures during monotonic shear, with increasing dilative response, shear resistance, and stiffness displayed with increasing overconsolidation ratio (OCR). Overall, the monotonic behaviour of normally consolidated reconstituted gold tailings specimens is similar to the typical monotonic behaviour of normally consolidated clays and low-plastic silts; similarly, the behaviour of overconsolidated reconstituted gold tailings specimens is similar to the typical monotonic behaviour of overconsolidated clays. During cyclic loading, the tailings exhibited cumulative decrease in effective stress (or increase in equivalent excess pore-water pressure) with increasing number of loading cycles, resulting in progressive degradation of shear stiffness. The cyclic shear resistance increased with increasing OCR. The findings on the cyclic shear response of normally consolidated reconstituted gold tailings are in general agreement with those available published data on the cyclic response of different tailings, obtained from tests carried out on cyclic triaxial (TX) and DSS devices. The CRR of the gold tailings from this study, however, was found to be higher than that observed in Fraser river sand and Quartz rock powder, but in the same range as natural Fraser river silt. The post-cyclic monotonic shearing response, obtained from DSS tests, carried out on normally consolidated and overconsolidated reconstituted gold tailings specimens was also studied as a part of the current research work. The post-cyclic shear strength of normally and overconsolidated specimens, normalized to the initial effective confining stress, were observed to increase with increasing OCR. The post-cyclic consolidation volume changes experienced by the gold tailings specimens were in agreement with previously published results suggesting that post-cyclic volumetric strains would increase with increasing maximum excess pore water pressure ratio developed during cyclic loading.

description: In this work, new isatin-based sulphonamides (6a-i, 11a-c, 12a-c) were designed and synthesised as potential dual VEGFR-2 and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors with anticancer activities. Firstly, all target isatins were examined for in vitro antitumor action on NCI-USA panel (58 tumour cell lines). Then, the most potent derivatives were examined for the potential CA inhibitory action towards the physiologically relevant hCA isoforms I, II, and tumour-linked hCA IX isoform, in addition, the VEGFR-2 inhibitory activity was evaluated. The target sulphonamides failed to inhibit the CA isoforms that could be attributable to the steric effect of the neighbouring methoxy group, whereas they displayed potent VEGFR-2 inhibitory effect. Following that, isatins 11b and 12b were tested for their influence on the cell cycle disturbance, and towards the apoptotic potential. Finally, detailed molecular modelling analyses, including docking and molecular dynamics, were carried out to assess the binding mode and stability of target isatins.
The earliest galaxies seen in 21 cm line absorption

description: We investigate the 21 cm absorption lines produced by non-linear structures during the early stage of reionization, i.e. the starless minihalos and the dwarf galaxies. After a detailed modelling of their properties, with particular attention to the coupling physics, we determine their 21 cm absorption line profiles. The infalling gas velocity around minihalos/dwarf galaxies strongly affects the line shape, and with the low spin temperatures outside the virial radii of the systems, gives rise to horn-like line profiles. The optical depth of a dwarf galaxy is reduced for lines of sight penetrating through its HII region, and especially, a large HII region created by a dwarf galaxy with higher stellar mass and/or a top-heavy initial mass function results in an optical depth trough rather than an absorption line. We compute synthetic spectra of 21 cm forest for both high redshift quasars and radio afterglows of gamma ray bursts (GRBs). Even with the planned SKA, radio afterglows of most if not all GRBs would still be too dim to be the background sources for high resolution (1 kHz) observations, but absorption lines can be easily detected towards a high-z quasar. Broadband observation against GRB afterglows can also be used to reveal the evolving 21 cm signal from both minihalos and dwarf galaxies if there was no X-ray background or it was extremely weak, but it becomes difficult if an early X-ray background existed. Hence the 21 cm absorption could be a powerful probe of the presence/intensity of the X-ray background and the thermal history of the early universe.

description: The behavior of complex systems is determined not only by the topological organization of their interconnections but also by the dynamical processes taking place among their constituents. A faithful modeling of the dynamics is essential because different dynamical processes may be affected very differently by network topology. A full characterization of such systems thus requires a formalization that encompasses both aspects simultaneously, rather than relying only on the topological adjacency matrix. To achieve this, we introduce the concept of flow graphs, namely weighted networks where dynamical flows are embedded into the link weights. Flow graphs provide an integrated representation of the structure and dynamics of the system, which can then be analyzed with standard tools from network theory. Conversely, a structural network feature of our choice can also be used as the basis for the construction of a flow graph that will then encompass a dynamics biased by such a feature. We illustrate the ideas by focusing on the mathematical properties of generic linear processes on complex networks that can be represented as biased random walks and also explore their dual consensus dynamics.

description: Isogenus nubecula Newman 1833 Buskerud: Sigdal, Tempelbekken, Norefjell, 1.x.1966, 1 nymph [slide marked P258, bearing nymphal pronotum, leg, cercus and maxilla] This is an inhabitant of large lowland rivers that was once rather common in central and northern Europe. It suffered a dramatic decline in most of its range due to pollution and habitat fragmentation (Zwick 1992, 2004; Fochetti & de Figueroa 2006; Koese 2008: 91). It is a rare species in Scandinavia as well (Hoffsten & Malqvist 2003). The material in the NHM contains no complete specimen. The Norwegian data portal Artskart contains two observations of these species based on collection specimens. As these were collected in the province of Troms, outside of the species’ known distribution (Lillehammer 1985, 1988; Zwick 1992), the identification should be checked.

 Abstract and figures
 The Internet of Things (IoT) is playing a significant role in the transformation of traditional factories into smart factories in Industry 4.0 by using network of interconnected devices, sensors, and software to monitor and optimize the production process. Predictive maintenance using the IoT in smart factories can also be used to prevent machine failures, reduce downtime, and extend the lifespan of equipment. To monitor and optimize energy usage during part manufacturing, manufacturers can obtain real-time insights into energy consumption patterns by deploying IoT sensors in smart factories. Also, IoT can provide a more comprehensive view of the factory environment to enhance workplace safety by identifying potential hazards and alerting workers to potential dangers. Suppliers can use IoT-enabled tracking devices to monitor shipments and provide real-time updates on delivery times and locations in order to analyze and optimize the supply chain in smart factories. Moreover, IoT is a powerful technology which can optimize inventory management in smart factories to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and movements. To analyze and enhance the impact of internet of thing in smart factories of industry 4.0, a review is presented. Applications of internet of things in smart factories such as predictive maintenance, asset tracking, inventory management, quality control, production process monitoring, energy efficiency and supply chain optimization are reviewed. Thus, by analyzing the application of IoT in smart factories of Industry 4.0, new ideas and advanced methodologies can be provided to improve quality control and optimize part production processes.

description: In adaptive networks fragmentation transitions have been observed in which the network breaks into disconnected components. We present an analytical approach for calculating the transition point in general adaptive network models. Using the example of an adaptive voter model, we demonstrate that the proposed approach yields good agreement with numerical results.

description: Elektronische Laborbücher (ELN) werden oft als Heilsversprechen für FDM im Laborbereich angesehen. Aber was ist eigentlich ein ELN ist und was soll es leisten können? Laborinformations- und Managementsysteme (LIMS) werden häufig in Routinelaboren eingesetzt, aber taugen sie auch für die Forschung? (Lokale) Repositorien und Kataloge für Forschungsdaten sind von großer Relevanz für FAIRe(re) Daten, aber auch Voraussetzung für *Open Data* (EGovG). Lassen sich all diese Ansprüche mit einem Werkzeug erfüllen, oder braucht es doch unterschiedliche, interoperable Lösungen? Welche Anforderungen müssen sinnvollerweise an eine digitale Infrastruktur gestellt werden, die große Teile des Forschungsdatenlebenszyklus abdeckt?

Are inversion, posture, motion and muscle effects important to spinal alignment?
Creators: name: Newell, Robyn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Rollover accidents are dynamic and complex events in which head contacts with the vehicle interior can cause catastrophic neck injuries through head-first impact. Ex vivo cadaver tests are valuable for studying these mechanisms of head-first axial loading neck injuries; however, they lack a biofidelic representation of neuromuscular control, postural stability, and overall spine posture. Computational modeling can be used to evaluate changes in the risk of neck injury under the influence of muscle forces, yet the exact muscles and levels of forces that are involved leading up to a head-first impact are unknown. Knowing the state of the neck prior to impact is critical to improving cadaveric and computational models of neck injury. Four human volunteer experiments were conducted to determine whether inversion, head position, muscle tensing, and dynamic motion influence the cervical spine alignment. These four studies included: (1) static inversion, (2) muscle tensing, (3) moment generation, (4) dynamic flexion/extension. For each experiment, cervical alignment was captured using fluoroscopy and muscle activity was captured using electromyography. The inverted posture and muscle activations were found to be different than the upright relaxed posture and the differences depend on the position of the head (study 1). Actively tensing the neck muscles in a free unconstrained task (study 2) and in generating flexion and extension forces with head constraint (study 3) resulted in different cervical alignment compared to the initial resting spine. Not only do these neck muscle contractions induce postural changes, they also provide a substantial stiffening effect to the neck. Finally, dynamically arriving at the neutral position did not result in the same cervical alignment as static neutral and the alignment depended on the direction that neutral is approached from (full flexion or full extension). These findings suggest that it may not be sufficient to replicate the upright resting posture in cadaveric and computational models of neck injury. Adopting in vivo postures and muscle activations, relevant to head-first impact, in the laboratory may help in replicating the spectrum of injuries observed in real life rollovers, an important step toward injury prevention.

Perlodes dispar

description: Perlodes dispar (Rambur 1842) Oslo, Sørkedalselva, Langlielva, 25.ii.1969, 1 nymph, leg. Smestad [slide marked P1669 with nymphal cercus, leg and maxilla+; Akershus, Søndre Høland, 1♂ [slide with no further labelling, bearing male subanal lobe and cerci; the municipality Søndre Høland existed between 1924 and 1966+. This species is widely distributed and common in Europe (Zwick 2004). The north-western border of its distribution lies in south-eastern Norway, where it occurs in shallow streams with a high summer temperature (Lillehammer 1988:67). There are relatively many observations of this species in southwestern Sweden (Swedish biodiversity information portal artportalen.se, last accessed 25 August 2011). The NHM contains no complete specimens. Artskart includes two collection-based records from the province of Troms. As these collection sites are far from the known distribution of this species (Lillehammer 1985, 1988), the identification of these specimens should be checked.
