Processing, integrating and analysing chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) data
Creators: name: Essebier, Alex
Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2016

description: High throughput sequencing (HTS) technology has contributed to a number of discoveries in the human genome. One technique which relies on HTS is chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq); a technique that allows us to identify where proteins are binding in vivo. A handful of consortiums have generated thousands of data sets which use ChIP-seq to describe transcription factor (TF) binding and histone modifications (HMs). Individual labs are also generating numerous data sets exploring TFs in specific cell types and cell states using HMs as support. In the last decade, ChIP-seq has become so popular that although we have a standard way of performing the experiment in the wet lab, we have seen the development of a staggering number of processing pipelines and protocols designed to interpret the resulting sequenced reads. This begs the question of which approach is the ‘best’.

Once you have your ChIP-seq peaks, you will quickly discover that despite the challenges, generating them was the easy part and now you’re faced with interpreting the data at hand. To fully appreciate the information stored in your peaks, you have to understand the strengths and weaknesses of ChIP-seq and the power of integrating your ChIP-seq result with other available data.

This talk aims to guide you through the ChIP-seq processing steps exploring the available tools and discussing the important considerations that must be made throughout. It will also cover approaches for analysing ChIP-seq peaks and highlight the importance of data integration in the interpretation of processed ChIP-seq data sets.

Feasibility of Determining Breast Density using Processed Mammogram Images
Creators: name: McAvoy, Steven M.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women today and one of the most lethal. Breast tissue density has become an increasingly important factor in determining a patient's overall breast cancer risk. With the advent of digital mammography, various computer algorithms have been developed to automate the calculation of breast density. Two types of images are produced from digital mammography machines: the raw image, acquired from the imaging sensor, and the processed image which contains propriety techniques for visual enhancement. Currently, automated breast density algorithms focus on utilizing the raw image while radiologists use the processed image for visual inspection. The processed image is then stored within a patient's medical file. Discovering a means to detect breast density from processed images would allow radiologists to assess retroactively the breast cancer risk of any patient who has previously received a digital mammogram using minimal financial and human resources. An investigation into the feasibility of using an existing breast density algorithm on processed images was explored. The algorithm was modified to accept processed images as input. Thirty-nine craniocaudal mammogram images containing both raw images and their corresponding processed images were used as an experimental control. The breast densities of each image were calculated using both the original and modified algorithms and the resulting correlation was measured. While the modified algorithm did not produce a strong correlation with the original algorithm, evidence suggests further algorithm modifications may lead to a desired outcome.

description: "Scene description" applications that describe visual content in a photo are useful daily tools for blind and low vision (BLV) people. Researchers have studied their use, but they have only explored those that leverage remote sighted assistants; little is known about applications that use AI to generate their descriptions. Thus, to investigate their use cases, we conducted a two-week diary study where 16 BLV participants used an AI-powered scene description application we designed. Through their diary entries and follow-up interviews, users shared their information goals and assessments of the visual descriptions they received. We analyzed the entries and found frequent use cases, such as identifying visual features of known objects, and surprising ones, such as avoiding contact with dangerous objects. We also found users scored the descriptions relatively low on average, 2.76 out of 5 (SD=1.49) for satisfaction and 2.43 out of 4 (SD=1.16) for trust, showing that descriptions still need significant improvements to deliver satisfying and trustworthy experiences. We discuss future opportunities for AI as it becomes a more powerful accessibility tool for BLV users.

description: Existing vision-language models (VLMs) treat text descriptions as a unit, confusing individual concepts in a prompt and impairing visual semantic matching and reasoning. An important aspect of reasoning in logic and language is negations. This paper highlights the limitations of popular VLMs such as CLIP, at understanding the implications of negations, i.e., the effect of the word "not" in a given prompt. To enable evaluation of VLMs on fluent prompts with negations, we present CC-Neg, a dataset containing 228,246 images, true captions and their corresponding negated captions. Using CC-Neg along with modifications to the contrastive loss of CLIP, our proposed CoN-CLIP framework, has an improved understanding of negations. This training paradigm improves CoN-CLIP's ability to encode semantics reliably, resulting in 3.85% average gain in top-1 accuracy for zero-shot image classification across 8 datasets. Further, CoN-CLIP outperforms CLIP on challenging compositionality benchmarks such as SugarCREPE by 4.4%, showcasing emergent compositional understanding of objects, relations, and attributes in text. Overall, our work addresses a crucial limitation of VLMs by introducing a dataset and framework that strengthens semantic associations between images and text, demonstrating improved large-scale foundation models with significantly reduced computational cost, promoting efficiency and accessibility.

Gas turbine generator : Extended range vehicle application
Creators: name: Hogan, Colin
name: Hirsch, Tim
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2018

description: The purpose of this project is to design a gas turbine that can be implemented in an
extended range electric vehicle. A gas turbine is characterized by a high power to weight ratio,
flexible fuel operation, and high efficiency at full power. Extended range electric vehicles utilize
an electrical system to power the vehicle and a gas generator to charge the vehicles batteries.
Most EREV's use piston powered internal combustion engines, which are less efficient at full
power and heavier than a gas turbine of the same power output. A gas turbine could make an
EREV more efficient by using less fuel and lowering the overall mass of the vehicle. The
objective of this project is to design and build a small cost-effective gas turbine for use in
extended range electric vehicles.

Convex Hulls and Graph-Matrix Calculus: Algorithms in Computational Convex Analysis
Creators: name: Gardiner, Bryan Nicholas Carl
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: At the core of Convex Analysis and its applications are a collection of frequently used operators for transforming convex functions, along with the convex hull operation for convexifying functions. While numerical algorithms are usually applied to general functions with little known structure, we focus on the class of univariate piecewise linear-quadratic (PLQ) functions, for which exact algorithms have been developed. This thesis presents two main results. In the first part, we investigate two convex hull algorithms for univariate PLQ functions. The rst algorithm is an extension of the linear-time planar Beneath-Beyond algorithm, and performs a plane sweep that converts a function into its convex hull. The second uses convex duality theory to deconstruct a nonconvex function and build its convex hull using convex operators, in worst-case quadratic time. The trade-off is complexity: the second algorithm can be significantly simpler to implement. The second part is concerned with the computation of convex transforms, such as the Legendre-Fenchel transform and the Moreau Envelope. We introduce a new family of algorithms that stores and manipulates models of the subdifferential instead of the original function. We performed numerical experiments comparing the two convex hull algorithms, and comparing the new subdifferential algorithms to existing PLQ algorithms. These experiments confirm the time complexity for the convex hull algorithms, and show that the subdifferential algorithms have the same complexity as the PLQ algorithms, while performing an order of magnitude faster.

KelownaGigs: Constructing a Social Publishing Application to Support a Local Music Community
Creators: name: Appleby, Geoff
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: KelownaGigs is a website initially built in 2003 to support Kelowna's local music community, including artists, bands, venues, promoters, and fans. With the previous system all site content had to be validated and inputed manually by a limited number of users with administrative access. This project focused on migrating the site to a social publishing application with the goals of automating as many tasks and processes as possible, and providing each user increased access to manage the content relevant to themselves. The existing content aggregation tools were deemed insufficient for the site's specific needs, and so information extraction techniques were researched in order to implement a custom solution for importing data from remote web sites. Throughout the project access logs and user statistics were kept to monitor changes in user behaviour as site changes were implemented. Additional feedback was solicited from users via surveys available throughout the development period, including questions tailored to their role within the community. Overall the site received positive feedback from users and traffic metrics increased throughout the duration of the project. Administrative effort was also reduced despite the increase in site usage and content.

The Symmetry of Evil: An Examination of Guilt and Trust in William Shakespeare's Macbeth
Creators: name: Jackson, Jessica
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A reading of Macbeth using the moral philosophy of Paul Ricoeur can help explicate Macbeth's decision-making and subsequent actions. Such a reading places Macbeth within the context of Ricoeur's discursive responses to and multi-levelled analysis of evil. This paper uses Ricoeur's philosophy to explore the paradox behind Macbeth's behaviour, specifically why he continues to commit further wrongs despite recognizing that such acts will cause him further guilt. It is the central argument of this paper that Macbeth's extreme guilt becomes a self-sustaining and perpetuating spur for further acts of violence and betrayal. It is further argued that the relational nature of trust mirrors the relational nature of guilt, as described by Ricoeur. Finally, this paper discusses how images of the deaths of children, which appear throughout the play, represent the interaction between Macbeth's acts of betrayal, his guilt and societal breakdown.

description: A quantum network shared entangled sources among distant nodes enables us to distribute entanglement along the network by suitable measurements. Network nonlocality means that it does not admit a network model involving local variables emitted from independent sources. In this work, we construct an $(n,m,p)$-type quantum network configuration and then derive the corresponding $n$-local correlation inequalities based on the assumption of independent sources. As a universal acyclic network configuration, it can cover most of the existing network models, such as the typical chain-network and star-network, and admit both centerless and asymmetric configurations. Then we demonstrate the non-$n$-locality of the present network by calculating the violation of the $n$-local inequality with bipartite entangled sources and Pauli measurements.

The Relationship Between Childhood Family Instability, Secure Attachment, and the Sense of Belonging of Young Adults
Creators: name: Shlomi, Hilla
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study’s goal was to assess the relationship between childhood family instability and young adults’ sense of belonging. It also tested whether having a secure attachment in childhood moderated this relationship. An on-line questionnaire was completed by 220 first-year psychology students (170 women and 50 men aged 17-30). Family instability was not a significant predictor of sense of belonging, but it had a significant interaction with secure attachment (α = .05). Secure attachment was a good predictor of sense of belonging. Family instability had a positive effect on the sense of belonging of those who had low attachment security. Conclusions about the effects of family instability are limited due to the low levels of instability experienced by this sample.

An Analysis of Psychopathy, Substance Use, and Stress
Creators: name: Manning, John
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Psychopathy is a complex personality disorder characterized by a number of traits including glibness, superficial charm, pathological lying, and antisocial behaviour (R. Hare, 1991). The current study examined relationships among this variable, substance use disorders (SUD), and stress. Prior research has suggested that these disorders may be interrelated (Z. Walsh, L. C. Allen & D. S. Kosson, 2006). We hypothesized that stress mediates the relationship between psychopathy and SUD. We also hypothesized that the stress and SUD relationship varies by level of psychopathy. Neither of these hypotheses were confirmed; however, this study supports prior findings, which suggest that negative affect is suppressed across factors of the Psychopathy Checklist.

description: The ability of cells to direct their movement and growth in response to shallow chemical gradients is essential in the life cycles of all eukaryotic organisms. The signaling mechanisms underlying directional sensing in chemotactic cells have been well studied; however, relatively little is known about how chemotropic cells interpret chemical gradients. Recent studies of chemotropism in budding and fission yeast have revealed 2 quite different mechanisms-biased wandering of the polarity complex, and differential internalization of the receptor and G protein. Each of these mechanisms has been proposed to play a key role in decoding mating pheromone gradients. Here we explore how they may work together as 2 essential components of one gradient sensing machine.

description: La presente ricerca concerne la possibilità di costruire un approccio alternativo per attivare politiche sul paesaggio in grado di influenzare positivamente la qualità della vita associata ai luoghi che connotano il paesaggio. 
Tale approccio alternativo rientra in una ampia struttura di ricerca che prende in considerazione una nuova visione di paesaggio multidimensionale e multifunzionale, denominata smart landscape e la implementa nel paesaggio del Parco Nazionale del Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni.
La costruzione di un Sistema di Supporto alle Decisioni Collaborativo e Spaziale (SSDCS) per la valutazione del paesaggio multifunzionale secondo un approccio smart ha lo scopo di strutturare un approccio metodologico che permetta di guidare i processi di trasformazione del territorio e condurre a scelte coerenti con i principi di sviluppo locale auto-sostenibile, resilienza e inclusione dei punti di vista dei diversi portatori di interesse pubblici e privati.
I SSDCS, infatti, permettono di amplificare l'efficacia dell'analisi di complesse decisioni sociali e si configurano come strumenti dinamici attraverso cui combinare l'utilizzo di dati strutturati e di informazioni relative alle preferenze sociali, costruendo una base di conoscenza condivisa in grado di guidare i processi decisionali, aumentandone democrazia e trasparenza.
Interhemispheric Communication: How do first and second languages interact?

description: How is it that a bilingual individual can easily use each of their two languages without much confusion or mishap? This question has been widely studied by psychologists that are keen to better understand multilanguage control. The present study seeks to shed light on the controversy between two opposing models of dual language control. The inhibitory control model (Green, 1998) predicts that activation of a word in one language inhibits activation of words in the other language. The level of activation model (Grosjean, 1997) proposes that activation of the language in use is increased over the other. In two experiments, monolingual and bilingual (English-French) participants decided if a string of letters presented in the middle of a computer monitor was an English word or not. At the same time, a distractor word was presented to either the left or right of the letter string, and it was English or French and related in meaning or not. French semantically related distractor words provoked interference to lexical processing in bilinguals whereas English semantically related distractor words provided a benefit to lexical processing in monolinguals. The different response patterns to semantically related distractors in the two groups suggest that the English-word decision was inhibited by activation of French words in bilingual participants. This result is consistent with the prediction of the inhibitory control model.

description: In classical Cell Biology, fundamental cellular processes are revealed empirically, one experiment at a time. While this approach has been enormously fruitful, our understanding of cells is far from complete. In fact, the more we know, the more keenly we perceive our ignorance of the profoundly complex and dynamic molecular systems that underlie cell structure and function. Thus, it has become apparent to many cell biologists that experimentation alone is unlikely to yield major new paradigms, and that empiricism must be combined with theory and computational approaches to yield major new discoveries. To facilitate those discoveries, three workshops will convene annually for one day in three successive summers (2017-2019) to promote the use of computational modeling by cell biologists currently unconvinced of its utility or unsure how to apply it. The first of these workshops was held at the University of Illinois, Chicago in July 2017. Organized to facilitate interactions between traditional cell biologists and computational modelers, it provided a unique educational opportunity: a primer on how cell biologists with little or no relevant experience can incorporate computational modeling into their research. Here, we report on the workshop and describe how it addressed key issues that cell biologists face when considering modeling including: (1) Is my project appropriate for modeling? (2) What kind of data do I need to model my process? (3) How do I find a modeler to help me in integrating modeling approaches into my work? And, perhaps most importantly, (4) why should I bother?

description: Small and large theatre organizations face unique challenges relative to their size. Through collaboration, organizations of disparate budget size can find unique solutions to some of these challenges and achieve mutually beneficial outcomes in areas such as community impact, audience expansion, reduced production costs and organizational structure.
The best methods for successful collaboration and positive impact are recognized and assessed by examining the impetus for and the results of past successful collaborations. Small theatres can benefit from access to greater resources, visibility and organizational mentorship. Large theatres can benefit from exposure to unique audiences, reduced production costs and creative approaches to structure and operation.
Each collaboration discussed differed structurally and produced different outcomes, though some similarities existed. Flexibility, transparency, communication and setting reasonable expectations are, along with the inherently collaborative nature of theatre, proved to be the most important elements of success.
The positive outcomes from collaborations generally outweigh the complications and setbacks. Collaborations between theatres take many forms, but the opportunities to share resources and expertise can benefit organizations both large and small and strengthen the landscape of nonprofit theatre.

description: A probabilistic framework to study the dependence structure induced by deterministic discrete-time state-space systems between input and output processes is introduced. General sufficient conditions are formulated under which output processes exist and are unique once an input process has been fixed, a property that in the deterministic state-space literature is known as the echo state property. When those conditions are satisfied, the given state-space system becomes a generative model for probabilistic dependences between two sequence spaces. Moreover, those conditions guarantee that the output depends continuously on the input when using the Wasserstein metric. The output processes whose existence is proved are shown to be causal in a specific sense and to generalize those studied in purely deterministic situations. The results in this paper constitute a significant stochastic generalization of sufficient conditions for the deterministic echo state property to hold, in the sense that the stochastic echo state property can be satisfied under contractivity conditions that are strictly weaker than those in deterministic situations. This means that state-space systems can induce a purely probabilistic dependence structure between input and output sequence spaces even when there is no functional relation between those two spaces.

description: Living History: Finding Myself in the Reflection of My Elders is an in depth reflection on my personal feelings of detachment from my heritage as an African American - an unfortunate byproduct of the silence of the generations past and the overwhelmingly limited documentation of the legacy and accomplishments of African Americans within the broader context of American history.  It details my journey to find the details of my ancestry and little known facts of my father's military service on the shores of Normandy during WWII, and chronicles my transformative experiences in the field working with elders of the African American community who have championed these historic preservation efforts for decades, and share the same passion for sharing these untold stories with the next generation.
Examining Guilt and Blame Attribution for Offence: Comparing a Public and Forensic Psychiatric Sample

description: Mentally ill individuals who have committed an offence arguably comprise one of the most stigmatized groups within our society. Study 1 examined the Canadian public’s perception of the degree to which individuals suffering from a mental illness experienced guilt, and felt blameworthy for their actions. Results suggested that the public underestimates the guilt felt by these individuals, which may contribute to the negative feelings some of the public has toward mentally disordered offenders. A second study explored forensic psychiatric patients’ feelings of guilt and blame surrounding their own offences. For patients without a comorbid personality disorder, a moderate negative correlation was found between mental blame and time elapsed since offence, implying that psychiatric hospital stay helps them gain a sense of personal responsibility for their offences. Further, patients with a comorbid personality disorder reported less guilt feelings for their offences than patients without a comorbid personality disorder, and were less likely to blame them on mental factors (i.e., mental illness or a lack of self-control), supporting the idea that there are additional therapeutic challenges and considerations for individuals that are suffering from more than one mental health diagnosis. Implications for both treatment and community policy will be considered in detail.

description: Wind energy continues to expand as a critical renewable energy source, driving the need foroptimized wind turbine designs. This paper examines key advancements in wind turbine bladedesign, focusing on regional variations, aerodynamic improvements, and material innovations.Regional factors such as wind speed, temperature, and environmental conditions significantlyinfluence blade design strategies, requiring tailored approaches for different geographiclocations. The study also explores recent aerodynamic enhancements, including airfoiloptimization, variable pitch mechanisms, and the integration of vortex generators and winglets.Additionally, material innovations—such as composite and bio-based materials—are analyzedfor their role in improving blade efficiency, durability, and sustainability. The second section ofthis paper discusses other forms of optimizing wind turbine performance, this study investigatesthe impact of rotor diameter, and gear ratio on power output and efficiency. By systematicallyvarying these parameters, the ideal combination is determined to maximize energy capture underdifferent wind conditions. The results demonstrate that adjusting blade diameter significantlyaffects torque and power generation. Additionally, gear ratio optimization ensures efficientpower transmission across varying wind speeds. These findings highlight the importance ofbalancing aerodynamic design with mechanical configuration to achieve peak turbineperformance. The study concludes that integrating regional blade adaptations, advancedaerodynamics, and material innovations—along with optimized diameter, and gear ratio—leadsto substantial improvements in efficiency, durability, and overall energy output.
