description: The SNARE complex assembles from vesicular Synaptobrevin-2 as well as Syntaxin-1 and SNAP25 both anchored to the presynaptic membrane. It mediates fusion of synaptic vesicles with the presynaptic plasma membrane resulting in exocytosis of neurotransmitters. While the general sequence of SNARE complex formation is well-established, our knowledge on possible intermediates and stable off-pathway complexes is incomplete. We, therefore, follow the stepwise assembly of the SNARE complex and target individual SNAREs, binary sub-complexes, the ternary SNARE complex as well as interactions with Complexin-1. Using native mass spectrometry, we identify the stoichiometry of sub-complexes and monitor oligomerisation of various assemblies. Importantly, we find that interactions with Complexin-1 reduce multimerisation of the ternary SNARE complex. Chemical cross-linking provides detailed insights into these interactions suggesting a role for membrane fusion. In summary, we unravel the stoichiometry of intermediates and off-pathway complexes and compile a road map of SNARE complex assembly including regulation by Complexin-1.

description: Although several studies have examined the relationship between intimate partner violence (IPV) and drug use among women in drug treatment programs, more information is needed to delineate differences, as a function of the specific drug used. Data from a random sample of 416 women attending methadone programs were analyzed to elucidate the differential associations between IPV and use of the following: marijuana only, cocaine only, heroin  only, or cocaine and heroin. Prevalence of IPV among this sample far exceeded estimates from the general population. After adjusting for sociodemographic variables, use of cocaine only was significantly associated with an increased likelihood of experiencing IPV compared with no drug use. Similar results were found for women using both cocaine and heroin.
title: Mineral chemistry and thermobarometry of the staurolite-chloritoid schists from Poshtuk, NW Iran
Creators: name: Saki, Adel

Publisher: name: Universität Potsdam
Year: 2019

description: The Poshtuk metapelitic rocks in northwestern Iran underwent two main phases of regional and contact metamorphism. Microstructures, textural features and field relations indicate that these rocks underwent a polymetamorphic history. The dominant metamorphic assemblage of the metapelites is garnet, staurolite, chloritoid, chlorite, muscovite and quartz, which grew mainly syntectonically during the later contact metamorphic event. Peak metamorphic conditions of this event took place at 580 ◦ C and ∼ 3–4 kbar, indicating that this event occurred under high-temperature and low-pressure conditions (HT/LP metamorphism), which reflects the high heat flow in this part of the crust. This event is mainly controlled by advective heat input through magmatic intrusions into all levels of the crust. These extensive Eocene metamorphic and magmatic activities can be associated with the early Alpine Orogeny, which resulted in this area from the convergence between the Arabian and Eurasian plates, and the Cenozoic closure of the Tethys oceanic tract(s).

description: Damage and fracture phenomena are related to the evolution of discontinuities both in space and in time. This contribution deals with methods from mathematical and numerical analysis to handle these: Suitable mathematical formulations and time-discrete schemes for problems with discontinuities in time are presented. For the treatment of problems with discontinuities in space, the focus lies on FE-methods for minimization problems in the space of functions of bounded variation. The developed methods are used to introduce fully discrete schemes for a rate-independent damage model and for the viscous approximation of a model for dynamic phase-field fracture. Convergence of the schemes is discussed.

description: We study the hydrodynamic interactions between colloids suspended in a compressible fluid inside a rigid channel. Using lattice-Boltzmann simulations and a simplified hydrodynamic theory, we find that the diffusive dynamics of density perturbations (sound) in the confined fluid give rise to particle correlations of exceptionally long spatial range and algebraic temporal decay. We examine the effect of these sound-mediated correlations on two-particle dynamics and on the collective dynamics of a quasi-one-dimensional suspension.

The effective index of the waveguide is spatially varied by tailoring a gradient thickness dielectric waveguide. Based on this technology, we demonstrate a transformation device guiding visible light around a sharp corner, with low scattering loss and reflection loss. The experimental results are in good agreement with the numerical results.

description: An analysis of the Japanese credit market in 2004 between banks and quoted firms is done in this paper using the tools of the networks theory. It can be pointed out that: (i) a backbone of the credit channel emerges, where some links play a crucial role. (ii) Big banks favor long-term contracts. The "minimal spanning trees" (iii) disclose a highly hierarchical backbone, where the central positions are occupied by the largest banks, and (iv) a strong geographical characterization is emphasized, while (v) the clusters of firms do not have specific common properties. Moreover, (vi) while larger firms have multiple lending stakes, (vii) the demand for credit (long vs. short term debt and multi-credit lines) of firms with similar sizes is very heterogeneous.
Connecting the Gamma Ray Burst Rate and the Cosmic Star Formation History: Implications for Reionization and Galaxy Evolution

description: (Abridged) The contemporary discoveries of galaxies and gamma ray bursts (GRBs) at high redshift have supplied the first direct information on star formation when the universe was only a few hundred million years old. The probable origin of long duration GRBs in the deaths of massive stars would link the universal GRB rate to the redshift-dependent star formation rate density, although exactly how is currently unknown. As the most distant GRBs and star-forming galaxies probe the reionization epoch, the potential rewards of understanding the redshift-dependent ratio Psi(z) of the GRB rate to star formation rate are significant and include addressing fundamental questions such as incompleteness in rest-frame UV surveys for determining the star formation rate at high redshift and time variations in the stellar initial mass function. Using an extensive sample of 112 GRBs above a fixed luminosity limit drawn from the Second Swift Burst Alert Telescope catalog, we compare the cumulative redshift distribution N(< z) of GRBs with the star formation density rho_sfr(z) measured from UV-selected galaxies over 0 < z < 4. Strong evolution (e.g., Psi(z) \propto (1+z)^{1.5}) is disfavored, while more modest evolution (e.g., Psi(z) \propto (1+z)^{0.5}) is consistent with the data. If such trends continue beyond z ~ 4, we find the discovery rate of distant GRBs implies a star formation rate density much higher than that inferred from UV-selected galaxies. We show that such a star formation history would over-predict the observed stellar mass density at z > 4 measured from rest-frame optical surveys. The resolution of this important disagreement is currently unclear, and the GRB production rate at early times is likely more complex than a simple function of star formation rate and progenitor metallicity.

The evolution of heritage conservation planning in theory and practice : a case study of Victoria, British Columbia
Creators: name: Fox, Chloe M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This research explores in the intersection of theory and practice in heritage conservation planning and its connections to broader urban planning considerations. In doing so, this research presents a case study of the evolution of heritage conservation projects, policies and implementation programs in the area of Old Town and Chinatown in the downtown core of Victoria, British Columbia. Community plans, policy documents and implementation tools concerning heritage conservation and planning for the Old Town and Chinatown area are analyzed in addition to newspaper articles, online discussion forums and books on the subject of such efforts. In addition, an analysis of how particular policies and implementation tools play out at the level of an individual conservation project is presented through an examination of the Morley’s Soda Factory, a recent rehabilitation and adaptive reuse project within Old Town. The research demonstrates that in both conservation theory and conservation practice there has been a broadening in the justifications for conservation, in its subject matter and in the range of social groups involved since its effective beginnings in the mid- to late-18th century. Once a narrowly defined discipline concerned with preserving a restricted set of supposedly architecturally beautiful or historically significant buildings, as defined by elite values, conservation is now recognized as having linkages to the property market, economic development, cultural values, social capital, land use planning, waste management and urban design. In addition, the case study suggests that, at the level of an individual city and district, the particular trajectory of heritage conservation policy is highly dependent on the social, political and economic context of the locality. In particular, it considers the roles of the public and private sectors as well as the general public in the conservation process and the implications of these roles on conservation and urban planning goals.

description: We consider Standard Model Higgs boson production through gluon--gluon fusion in hadron collisions. We combine the calculation of the next-to-next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the inclusive cross section with the resummation of multiple soft-gluon emissions at small transverse momenta up to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy. The calculation is implemented in the numerical program HRes and allows us to retain the full kinematics of the Higgs boson and of its decay products. We present selected numerical results for the signal cross section at the LHC (\sqrt{s}=8 TeV), in the H->2gamma, H->WW->lnu lnu and H->ZZ->4l decay channels by using the nominal cuts applied in current Higgs boson searches by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations.

Heterogeneous Interacting Agent Models for Understanding Monetary Economies
Creators: name: Stiglitz, Joseph E.
name: Gallegati, Mauro
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: Economics

description: The representative agent (RA) approach of the mainstream economics allows a rich analysis of intertemporal maximization; but it rules out the possibility of the analysis of complex interactions. It is the latter that are at the root of this and other crises. We argue that the RA approach is simply not up to the task of enhancing our understanding of modern macroeconomies and that the standard cannot provide an adequate framework for understanding the economy even in more normal times. We advocate a bottom-up approach, where high-level (macroeconomic) systems may possess new and different properties than the low-level (microeconomic) systems on which they are based. The heterogeneous agent approach provides an alternative, one which has already proven its metal in helping us understand the interlinkages which helped give rise to the crisis.

description: We analyze the a set of seventeen rotation curves of Low Surface Brightness (LSB) galaxies from the The HI Nearby Galaxy Survey (THINGS) with different mass models to study the core structure and to determine a phase transition energy scale (E_c) between hot and cold dark matter, due to nonperturbative effects in the Bound Dark Matter (BDM) model. Our results agree with previous ones implying the cored profiles are preferred over the N-body motivated cuspy NFW profile. We find an average galactic core radius of r_c = 260 \times 10^{+/- 1.3} pc and a phase transition energy E_c = 0.11\times 10^{+/- 0.46} eV, that is of the same order of magnitude as the sum of the neutrino masses.

THE IMPACT OF GOLD PRICES AND MACROECONOMIC VARIABLES ON THE COMBINED STOCK PRICE INDEX
Creators: name: HERI SASONO
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: Gold Price, Macroeconomic Variables and IHSG.

description: Abstract
The Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG) is a key indicator of a country's success. The aim of this research is to see what macro variables have a significant influence on the IHSG. The research period was 15 years from 2008 to 2002. Data analysis used SPSS software version 25, to carry out the t test, F test, correlation, multiple linear regression and determinant coefficients. The research results show that Inflation, LQ-45 and Gold Prices have a significant effect on the IHSG, while Economic Growth, JII and SBI do not have a significant effect on the IHSG. Simultaneously, all independent variables (Inflation, Economic Growth, LQ-45, JII, Gold Price and SBI) have a significant effect on the IHSG for the period 2008 to 2022 on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (BEI).
An algebraic view of discrete geometry
Creators: name: De Zeeuw, Frank
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis includes three papers and one expository chapter as background for one of the papers. These papers have in common that they combine algebra with discrete geometry, mostly by using algebraic tools to prove statements from discrete geometry. Algebraic curves and number theory also recur throughout the proofs and results. In Chapter 1, we will detail these common threads. In Chapter 2, we prove that an infinite set of points in R² such that all pairwise distances are rational cannot be contained in an algebraic curve, except if that curve is a line or a circle, in which case at most 4 respectively 3 points of the set can be outside the line or circle. In the proof we use the classification of curves by their genus, and Faltings' Theorem. In Chapter 3, we informally present an elementary method for computing the genus of a planar algebraic curve, illustrating some of the techniques in Chapter 2. In Chapter 4, we prove a bound on the number of unit distances that can occur between points of a finite set in R², under the restriction that the line segments corresponding to these distances make a rational angle with the horizontal axis. In the proof we use graph theory and an algebraic theorem of Mann. In Chapter 5, we give an upper bound on the length of a simultaneous arithmetic progression (a two-dimensional generalization of an arithmetic progression) on an elliptic curve, as well as for more general curves. We give a simple proof using a theorem of Jarnik, and another proof using the Crossing Inequality and some bounds from elementary algebraic geometry, which gives better explicit bounds.
Rethinking Development Economics

description: The global financial crisis, too, has cast doubt over the neoclassical paradigm in advanced industrial countries, and rightly so. Much of development economics had been viewed as asking how developing countries could successfully transition toward the kinds of market-oriented policy frameworks that came to be called "American style capitalism." The debate was not about the goal, but the path to that goal, with some advocating "shock therapy," while others focused on pacing
and sequencing--a more gradualist tack. The global financial crisis has now raised questions about that model even for developed countries.

Gamma-ray burst afterglow scaling relations for the full blast wave evolution

description: We demonstrate that gamma-ray burst afterglow spectra and light curves can be calculated for arbitrary explosion and radiation parameters by scaling the peak flux and the critical frequencies connecting different spectral regimes. Only one baseline calculation needs to be done for each jet opening angle and observer angle. These calculations are done numerically using high-resolution relativistic hydrodynamical afterglow blast wave simulations which include the two-dimensional dynamical features of expanding and decelerating afterglow blast waves. Any light curve can then be generated by applying scaling relations to the baseline calculations. As a result, it is now possible to fully fit for the shape of the jet break, e.g. at early time X-ray and optical frequencies. In addition, late-time radio calorimetry can be improved since the general shape of the transition into the Sedov-Taylor regime is now known for arbitrary explosion parameters so the exact moment when the Sedov-Taylor asymptote is reached in the light curve is no longer relevant. When calculating the baselines, we find that the synchrotron critical frequency and the cooling break frequency are strongly affected by the jet break. The synchrotron break temporal slope quickly drops to the steep late time Sedov-Taylor slope, while the cooling break first steepens then rises to meet the level of its shallow late time asymptote.

Development of a new fluorescent tool box based on tocopherol

Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2012

description: Bibliography: p. 143-153
description: Research into Vitamin E and its in-vivo function has recently exploded, focusing mostly on the biologically relevant isomer, a-tocopherol ( a-T). Although a-T is well known for its radical scavenger role in membranes, new roles of a-T not related to its antioxidant activity have been proposed. Much of this research has been slowed down due to the lack of readily accessible tools for the study of this Vitamin in vivo. Thus, our goal was to develop a toolbox of fluorescent tocopherol derivatives, either redox-active or silent, to be used for live studies. The fluorophore of choice was nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD). After the successful synthesis and characterization of derivatives, the efficacy of several promising probes was tested in-vivo. Structural features relevant for intracellular localization were identified. In addition, the poorly understood photochemistry of NBD was investigated using laser flash photolysis on the simple probe NBD-hexane, revealing a novel phosphorescence process not previously described.

description: This study examined the relationship between sex trading and psychological distress among a nonrandom sample of women recruited from 3 methadone maintenance clinics in New York City. Face-to-face interviews with 280 women (M age = 40.7) revealed that 32% had traded sex for money or drugs in the previous year. Compared to other participants, these women reported less education and higher rates of incarceration in the past year, sexually transmitted diseases, childhood sexual abuse, partner abuse, and current regular crack/cocaine and alcohol use. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis indicated that sex traders scored 0.41 units higher than non-sex traders on the General Severity Index of the Brief Symptom Inventory after controlling for all relevant covariates. The findings emphasize the need to consider the interrelation of psychological distress, abuse, and addiction in designing public health interventions addressing methadone maintained women.

description: Presented at the 8th international congress for wildlife and livelihoods on private and communal lands: livestock, tourism, and spirit, that was held on September 7-12, 2014 in Estes Park, Colorado.
description: Hunters on public and private lands in the USA are regulated by harvest and possession limits. Wildlife managers rarely design spatially-explicit regulations or quotas for individual properties. Two policies on private lands could affect local harvest dynamics: fee hunting and guided hunting on private lands, and payments by states to private landowners to obtain Open Access rights for public use. These could result in higher levels of harvest on specific parcels of privately owned land, suggesting the need for new methods to prevent over-harvest. A third dynamic may have synergistic effects: fragmentation of private forests, wetlands, and grasslands has increased to the point that dispersal of game animals could be affected. I used spatial simulations to show how animals such as northern bobwhite, deer, and ring-necked pheasants can be legally over-harvested when multiple parties hunt the same parcel of land. During scenarios based on observed rates of use on Open Access-type lands in Nebraska, male pheasants were not predicted to survive the hunting season, and over 85% of female pheasants were illegally harvested when error rates were 1% per hunting party. Spatial modeling suggests that the level of fragmentation in eastern Nebraska does not allow the dispersal of pheasants to repopulate depleted areas. Shorter hunting seasons and state-supported monitoring should be implemented on Open Access lands that have high use potential. Also, landowners who engage in fee hunting should have their lands monitored to establish suggested harvest levels or quotas to protect the public resource.

description: The objective of this study was to test whether people respond to a perceived transgression by engaging in revenge to restore their own self-regard and a sense of personal power in their relationship. Participants (N =80; 70 female) were recruited from the University of Calgary undergraduate research participation system and brought their romantic partners with them to the lab. Participants were assigned to a control group or an experimental group. The latter experienced an acceptance-threat and then were given the opportunity to take revenge or not, against their romantic partner. Results indicate that the study was successful in causing people to experience an acceptance-threat, but was not successful in getting people to take revenge. This failure was likely due to errors such as a lack of clarity regarding how to take revenge when given the chance, and sampling bias causing an over-representation of individuals very high in self-esteem.

description: Dielectronic recombination (DR) of Na-like Fe15+ forming Mg-like Fe14+ via excitation of a 2l core electron has been investigated. We find that configuration interaction (CI) between DR resonances with different captured electron principal quantum numbers n can lead to a significant reduction in resonance strengths for n≥5. Previous theoretical work for this system has not considered this form of CI. Including it accounts for most of the discrepancy between previous theoretical and experimental results.

Subjects: Economics

description: The G-20 supplanted the G-8 as the executive committee of globalization as the emerging and advanced economies came together in the wake of the Wall Street crash to stave off depression. Now, each country is going its own way. In this section we examine whether the G-20 can be saved, and what the countries within it must do to bring the global economy into balance.
Review of "Sophia: The Hidden Christ of Thomas Merton," by Christopher Pramuk
Creators: name: Knitter, Paul
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2010
Subjects: Religion

description: Pramuk has written an audacious, radical, and ultimately inspiring book. Audaciously, he takes on the complex and controversial task of translating Merton's richly literary and poetic writings into theology. In doing so, he calls Christians, and especially Christian theologians, radically to deepen or repossess the mystical sources for their life and work. The result is an inspiring invitation to find new and deeper meaning in both doctrine and practice.

description: We have performed a differential emission measure (DEM) analysis for a polar coronal hole observed during solar minimum in 2007. Five observations are analyzed spanning the coronal hole from the central meridian to the boundary with the quiet-Sun corona. The observed heights ranged from 1.05 to 1.20 R ☉. The analysis shows that the plasma is not strictly isothermal anywhere, but rather has a high-temperature component that extends up to log T(K) = 6.2-6.3. The size and importance of this component depend on location, and its evolving magnitude with height marks the boundary between the coronal hole and the quiet corona, where it becomes dominant. The DEM of the coronal hole plasma below log T(K) = 6.0 decreases faster with height than that of the high-temperature component. We discuss the possible nature of the high-temperature component. Our results highlight the potential limitations of isothermal analyses. Such methods actually measure a DEM-weighted average temperature and as a result can infer artificial temperature gradients. Assuming the gas is isothermal along the line of sight can also yield incorrect electron densities. By revealing structures along the line of sight, a DEM analysis can also be used to more reliably interpret electron temperature and density measurements.
Successful Community Reentry After Incarceration: Exploring Intangible Aspects of Social Support During the Reintegration Process

description: The United States prison population and rate of incarceration have climbed to the highest worldwide, and mass incarceration has become a concerning social issue. Research demonstrates that incarceration adversely affects social networks, increases risk factors for children of incarcerated parents, and economically and politically disenfranchises communities and neighborhoods. Through critical examination of the existing rubric of incarceration, reentry emerges as an integral point of intervention for social workers to disrupt the chronic cycle of recidivism and downward spiral caused by incarceration. While past research has provided a cursory knowledge of the risk and protective factors that predict reentry success, much remains obscure. The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore the intricate, recondite, and intimate ways that family members function to assist the formerly incarcerated individual during reentry. By analyzing data through a transactional social support paradigm, this paper expands upon and enhances existing literature on the implicit functions of familial social support during prisoner reentry. Implications for social work practice with formally incarcerated individuals are explored based on key findings from the study.

Immunolocalization and lc-ms/ms proteomics reveal in interplay between sieve elements and laticifers in the biosynthesis of morphine in opium poppy
Creators: name: Onoyovwi, Akpevwe
Publisher: name: University of Calgary

description: Bibliography: p. 87-99
description: Opium poppy produces a group of natural products called benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs) such as morphine and codeine. BIAs have been shown to be synthesized in the phloem specifically in sieve elements, and accumulate in the latex, which is the cytoplasm of specialized secretory cells called laticifers. This project aimed to identify the cell types involved morphine biosynthesis via immunolocalization of six biosynthetic enzymes and LC-MS/MS proteomics analysis on latex and whole stem proteins. This resulted in the localization of codeine 0-demethylase (CODM), the last enzyme involved in morphine biosynthesis in laticifers, different from the other biosynthetic enzymes. This indicates a biosynthetic role for the laticifers. The proteomes showed the presence of morphine biosynthetic enzymes and other BIA biosynthetic enzymes. A new model is proposed where both cell types function in synthesizing morphine, with the penultimate steps occurring predominantly in laticifers. It also suggests the need for intercellular transport of alkaloid.
Proximity Effects in Radiative Heat Transfer

description: Though the dependence of near-field radiative transfer on the gap between two planar objects is well understood, that between curved objects is still unclear. We show unequivocally that the surface polariton mediated radiative transfer between two spheres of equal radii R and minimum gap d scales as R/d as the nondimensional gap d/R→0. We discuss the proximity approximation form that is being used at present to compare with experimental observations and suggest a modified form in order to satisfy the continuity requirement between far-field and near-field radiative transfer between the spheres.
Spin-polarized tunneling current through a thin film of topological insulator in a parallel magnetic field

description: We calculate the tunneling conductance σbetween the surface states on the opposite sides of the ultra-thin film of a topological insulator in a parallel magnetic field B_y. The parallel magnetic produces a relative shift of the in-plane momenta of the two surfaces states. An overlap between the shifted Fermi circles and their spin structure define an unusual dependence of the tunneling conductance σ(B_y) on the magnetic field. Because the spin of the electronic surface states in topological insulators is locked with momentum, the spin-polarization of the tunneling current can be controlled by magnetic field B_y.

(Re)imag(in)ing evil : ethics in the face of the suffering other
Creators: name: Balfour, Lindsay Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis examines representations of evil through the rhetorical figure of the face and its dissemination through mainstream and alternative media. I am interested in the extent to which representations of alterity contribute to, and make possible, a sustained War on/of Terror. Furthermore, I am interested in how these figures of alterity are apprehended in their suffering. As Judith Butler points out, the ability to suffer is what marks one as human. She asks “[w]hat is real?...If violence is done against those who are unreal, then, from the perspective of violence, it fails to injure or negate those lives since those lives are already negated” (Precarious Life 33). My project questions who is left out of dominant constructions of what constitutes the human, and examines how the encounter with a suffering body reconstitutes the “evil other” as human. Specifically, I will focus on the images of torture inflicted on prisoners at Abu Ghraib and the online execution video of Saddam Hussein. While the desire to protect and maintain the life of the innocent other is becoming an increasingly allocated social norm, I am interested in what such applications of responsibility or responsiveness might mean for those who are not allocated similar forms of protection. In other words, how do we present the relationship between culpability and precariousness and what might be the implications of re-inscribing figures such as Saddam Hussein with fragility? This thesis questions what is permitted to be seen as a suffering body in the context of the War on Terror and how dominant frameworks of representation foreclose the recognition of suffering in particular bodies.

description: Dielectronic recombination (DR) of xenonlike W20+ forming W19+ has been studied experimentally at a heavy-ion storage ring. A merged-beams method has been employed for obtaining absolute rate coefficients for electron-ion recombination in the collision-energy range 0–140 eV. The measured rate coefficient is dominated by strong DR resonances even at the lowest experimental energies. At plasma temperatures where the fractional abundance of W20+ is expected to peak in a fusion plasma, the experimentally derived plasma recombination rate coefficient is over a factor of 4 larger than the theoretically calculated rate coefficient which is currently used in fusion plasma modeling. The largest part of this discrepancy stems most probably from the neglect in the theoretical calculations of DR associated with fine-structure excitations of the W20+([Kr]4d10 4f8) ion core.
