description: We produce the first numerical predictions of the dynamical diquark model of multiquark exotic hadrons. Using Born-Oppenheimer potentials calculated numerically on the lattice, we solve coupled and uncoupled systems of Schroedinger equations to obtain mass eigenvalues for multiplets of states that are, at this stage, degenerate in spin and isospin. Assuming reasonable values for these fine-structure splittings, we obtain a series of bands of exotic states with a common parity eigenvalue that agree well with the experimentally observed charmoniumlike states, and we predict a number of other unobserved states. In particular, the most suitable fit to known pentaquark states predicts states below the charmonium-plus-nucleon threshold. Finally, we examine the strictest form of Born-Oppenheimer decay selection rules for exotics and, finding them to fail badly, we propose a resolution by relaxing the constraint that exotics must occur as heavy-quark spin-symmetry eigenstates.

description: The local electronic structure of N atoms in a diluted GaAs1-xNx (x=3%) alloy, in view of applications in optoelectronics, is determined for the first time using soft-X-ray absorption (SXA) and emission (SXE). Deviations from crystalline GaN, in particular in the conduction band, are dramatic. Employing the orbital character and elemental specificity of the SXE/SXA spectroscopies, we identify a charge transfer from the N atoms at the valence band maximum, reducing the overlap with the wavefunction in conduction band minimum, as the main factor limiting the optical efficiency of GaAs1-xNx alloys. Moreover, a k-conserving process of resonant inelastic x-ray scattering involving the L1 derived valence and conduction states is discovered.

description: We discuss random matrix models in terms of elementary operations on Blue's functions (functional inverse of Green's functions). We show that such operations embody the essence of a number of physical phenomena whether at/or away from the critical points. We illustrate these assertions by borrowing on a number of recent results in effective QCD in vacuum and matter. We provide simple physical arguments in favor of the universality of the continuum QCD spectral oscillations, whether at zero virtuality, in the bulk of the spectrum or at the chiral critical points. We also discuss effective quantum systems of disorder with strong or weak dissipation (Hatano-Nelson localization).

description: Reclamation research was initiated on the Fording River mine site in 1969, prior to commencement of mining operations, and has been an ongoing component of both Fording River and Greenhills Operations’ approach to sustainable development throughout mine life. This research has focussed on optimum techniques to return land disturbed by mining to equivalent productivity, and on specific challenges encountered on the sites. One of the primary challenges on both mine sites is the restoration through reclamation of high-value wildlife habitat. Wild ungulates, predominantly elk and bighorn sheep, are a major wildlife resource that reside year-round in the Fording River Valley. Mining at the Fording River and Greenhills Operations has disturbed habitat for these species, including some valuable winter range on south and southwest-facing slopes. To ensure the successful reclamation of this important high-elevation wildlife habitat, Fording River personnel initiated winter range-targeted reclamation research in 1985. This work has continued to date, with recent programs including: High-elevation conifer planting trials, to provide visual and thermal cover elements for wildlife habitat. Use of plant protectors to establish key preferred browse shrub species in climatically adverse conditions. Native grass species trials, to evaluate the potential of newly available forage species. Design and planning used to integrate research results into operational reclamation. This integrated research program has built on previous reclamation research undertaken at the mine sites, and has improved knowledge for these mines on species selection, establishment timing, and techniques to allow successful reclamation where more conventional approaches have not produced desired results. This increased knowledge will translate into better ability to re-create specific habitat elements, as more high-elevation areas on the mine sites become available for reclamation.

Image processing

description: In recent years, multi-resolution techniques have become increasingly popular in the image processing community. New techniques have been developed with applications ranging from edge detection, texture recognition, image registration, multi-resolution features for image classification and more. The central focus of this two-part thesis is the multi-resolution analysis of images. In the first part, we used multi-resolution approaches to help with the classification of a set of protein crystal images. In the second, similar approaches were used to help register a set of 3D image volumes that would otherwise be computationally prohibitive without leveraging multi-resolution techniques.  Specifically, the first part of this work proposes a classification framework that is being developed in collaboration with NorthEast Structural Genomics Consoritum (NESG) to assist in the automated screening of protein crystal images. Several groups have previously proposed automated algorithms to expedite such analysis. However, none of the classifiers described in the literature are sufficiently accurate or fast enough to be practical in a structural genomics production pipeline.  The second part of this work proposes a 3D image registration algorithm to register regions of emphysema as quantified by densitometry on lung CT with MR lung volumes. The ability to register quantitatively-determined regions of emphysema with perfusion MRI will allow for further exploration of the pathophysiology of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD). The registration method involves the registration of CT volumes at different levels of inspiration (total lung capacity to functional residual capacity [FRC]) followed by another registration between FRC-CT and FRC-MR volume pairs.
Multicultural Competency in Couples and Family Therapy for Latinos

description: Current demographic studies in the U.S. have shown an increase in the Latino population. It is one of the fastest growing ethnic groups and is estimated to reach a population of 62 million by the year 2020 (U.S Census Bureau, 1998). It is important that health care providers and social services develop strategies to assist this growing ethnic minority, particularly in the field of psychology. Marriage counselors and family therapists will be required to respond to the increase in Latino families seeking psychological services by developing multicultural methods of therapy. Therapists need to acknowledge that traditional white middle class models of psychotherapy need to adapt in order to become transferable to clients with different cultural backgrounds. Multicultural competency is essential for family therapists working with Latino families who experience different socioeconomic and political situations. This essay attempts to examine issues surrounding the use of multicultural guidelines in developing cultural awareness, sensitivity and competency in marriage and family therapy for Latinos.

Multicultural Religious Populations' Manifestations of Power and Control in Cases of Disordered Eating

Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: subject: Psychology
subject: FOS: Psychology

description: In reflecting about cultural psychology there is always a reminder to revert and
think back about the underlying issues that challenge the foundations of western
psychology and its practical and theoretical application in other cultures around the
world. One of these is the idea of power and control. At the root of diagnosing and
defining disorders, we are faced with questions that attempt to answer crucial
components of psychology at its core. Not only can traces of power and control be
present in the varying aspects of psychology, but also in the factors that contribute to
disorders. By examining characteristics that make up and affect individuals, therapists
can better understand the client population and provide appropriate treatment for those
who seek psychological services. This paper will address religion as one facet of culture
and expands on how it manifests notions of power and control in individuals with eating
disorders or in those who suffer from warped ideas of body image and physical
attractiveness.
Exchange interactions and Curie temperature in (GaMn)As

description: We use supercell and frozen-magnon approaches to study the dependence of the magnetic interactions in (Ga,Mn)As on the Mn concentration. We report the parameters of the exchange interaction between Mn spins and the estimates of the Curie temperature within the mean-field and random-phase approximations. In agreement with experiment we obtain a nonmonotonous dependence of the Curie temperature on the Mn concentration. We estimate the dependence of the Curie temperature on the concentration of the carries in the system and show that the decrease of the number of holes in the valence band leads to fast decrease of the Curie temperature. We show that the hole states of the valence band are more efficient in mediating the exchange interaction between Mn spins than the electron states of the conduction band.

description: Objective: State of the art navigation systems for pelvic osteotomies use optical systems with external fiducials. We propose the use of X-Ray navigation for pose estimation of periacetabular fragments without fiducials. Methods: A 2D/3D registration pipeline was developed to recover fragment pose. This pipeline was tested through an extensive simulation study and 6 cadaveric surgeries. Using osteotomy boundaries in the fluoroscopic images, the preoperative plan is refined to more accurately match the intraoperative shape. Results: In simulation, average fragment pose errors were 1.3°/1.7 mm when the planned fragment matched the intraoperative fragment, 2.2°/2.1 mm when the plan was not updated to match the true shape, and 1.9°/2.0 mm when the fragment shape was intraoperatively estimated. In cadaver experiments, the average pose errors were 2.2°/2.2 mm, 3.8°/2.5 mm, and 3.5°/2.2 mm when registering with the actual fragment shape, a preoperative plan, and an intraoperatively refined plan, respectively. Average errors of the lateral center edge angle were less than 2° for all fragment shapes in simulation and cadaver experiments. Conclusion: The proposed pipeline is capable of accurately reporting femoral head coverage within a range clinically identified for long-term joint survivability. Significance: Human interpretation of fragment pose is challenging and usually restricted to rotation about a single anatomical axis. The proposed pipeline provides an intraoperative estimate of rigid pose with respect to all anatomical axes, is compatible with minimally invasive incisions, and has no dependence on external fiducials.

Three-dimensional modeling

description: Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a medical imaging technique which distinguishes itself by acquiring microscopic resolution images in-vivo at millimeter scale fields of view. The resulting in images are not only high-resolution, but often multi-dimensional to capture 3-D biological structures or temporal processes. The nature of multi-dimensional data presents a unique set of challenges to the OCT user that include acquiring, storing, and handling very large datasets, visualizing and understanding the data, and processing and analyzing the data. In this dissertation, three of these challenges are explored in depth: sub-resolution temporal analysis, 3-D modeling of fiber structures, and compressed sensing of large, multi-dimensional datasets. Exploration of these problems is followed by proposed solutions and demonstrations which rely on tools from multiple research areas including digital image filtering, image de-noising, and sparse representation theory. Combining approaches from these fields, advanced solutions were developed to produce new and groundbreaking results. High-resolution video data showing cilia motion in unprecedented detail and scale was produced. An image processing method was used to create the first 3-D fiber model of uterine tissue from OCT images. Finally, a compressed sensing approach was developed which we show to guarantee high accuracy image recovery of more complicated, clinically relevant, samples than had been previously demonstrated. The culmination of these methods represents a step forward in OCT image analysis, showing that these cutting edge tools can also be applied to OCT data and in the future be employed in a clinical setting.

description: The problem of making predictions in eternally inflating universe that thermalizes by bubble nucleation is considered. A recently introduced regularization procedure is applied to find the probability distribution for the ensemble of thermalized bubbles. The resulting probabilities are shown to be independent of the choice of the time parametrization. This formalism is applied to models of open ``hybrid'' inflation with $Ω<1$. Depending on the parameters of the model, the probability distribution for $Ω$ is found to have a peak either very close to $Ω=1$, or at an intermediate value of $Ω$ in the range $0.03\lesssim Ω<1$.

description: Long-acting injectable cabotegravir is more effective than daily oral PrEP at preventing HIV transmission due to improved adherence, but requires bi-monthly large-volume intramuscular injections. Subcutaneous (SC) contraceptive implants can be formulated with antiretrovirals for extended-duration HIV PrEP. Islatravir (ISL) is a first-in-class, investigational antiretroviral with pharmacologic properties well-suited for implant delivery. We performed preclinical studies for the development of a reservoir-style, poly(ε-caprolactone) ISL-eluting implant by conducting a single-dose SC ISL dose-ranging pharmacokinetic (PK) study of 0.1, 0.3, and 1 mg/kg in adult Wistar rats. Non-compartmental analysis was conducted, and dose proportionality assessed for ISL plasma and intracellular islatravir-triphosphate (ISL-tp). Population PK models estimated ISL's unit impulse response to deconvolve ISL-implant in vivo absorption rate (mg/day) and cumulative mass (mg) from published rat plasma PK (n> = 10). Drug release was interpreted using four kinetic models. Dose proportionality was affirmed for ISL and ISL-tp. A first-order, two-compartment model fitted the SC ISL bolus data. Mean (SD) absorption rate from 0 to 154 days was 0.072 ± 0.024 mg/day, and cumulative mass at 154 days was 8.67 ± 3.22 mg. ISL absorption was well-described by zero-order (r2 = 0.95) and Ritger-Peppas (r2 = 0.98). Our zero-order ISL-release poly(ε-caprolactone) implant is projected to achieve clinical PK above ISL-tp's PrEP efficacy threshold. Continued development for HIV PrEP applications is warranted.

description: We present semiclassical descriptions of Bose-Einstein condensates for configurations with spatial symmetry, e.g., cylindrical symmetry, and without any symmetry. The description of the cylindrical case is quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D), in the sense that one only needs to solve an effective 1D nonlinear Schrodinger equation, but the solution incorporates correct 3D aspects of the problem. The solution in classically allowed regions is matched onto that in classically forbidden regions by a connection formula that properly accounts for the nonlinear mean-field interaction. Special cases for vortex solutions are treated too. Comparisons of the Q1D solution with full 3D and Thomas-Fermi ones are presented.

We define its first two Hamiltonian structures, the recursion operator and Lax--pair representation. We provide partial evidence for the existence of an infinite-dimensional N=2 superalgebra of its flows. We study its bosonic limit and introduce new Lax-pair representations for the bosonic Toda lattice hierarchy. Finally we discuss the relevance this approach for constructing N=2 supersymmetric generalized Toda lattice hierarchies.

description: Children under 15 years spend over six hours per day in school buildings and are particularly vulnerable to the effects of poor indoor air quality (IAQ). However long-term monitoring of indoor environmental conditions is limited in Australian schools. This study evaluates IAQ in ten Australian school classrooms in the temperate settings of Victoria. Temperature, relative humidity, CO2 concentration, PM2.5 and PM10 were monitored over a period of one year. The temperature and relative humidity values in the monitored classrooms ranged between 18.7°C and 23.8°C and 44–63 RH%, respectively, indicating that the conditions have been mechanically controlled. The average air change (ACH) rates in the 10 school classrooms varied considerably (range: 0.7–4.83 ACH). The ventilation rates ranged from 1.6 Ls−1 to 11.5 Ls−1 per person with 7 out of the 10 classrooms showing ventilation rates below the recommended minimum. This study points to the need for increasing ventilation rates in classrooms.

description: Causal seed models, such as cosmological defects, generically predict a distinctly different structure to the CMB power spectrum than inflation, due to the behavior of the perturbations outside the horizon. We provide a general analysis of their causal generation from isocurvature initial conditions by analyzing the role of stress perturbations and conservation laws in the causal evolution. Causal stress perturbations tend to generate an isocurvature pattern of peak heights in the CMB spectrum and shift the first compression, i.e.~main peak, to smaller angular scales than in the inflationary case, unless the pressure and anisotropic stress fluctuations balance in such a way as to reverse the sense of gravitational interactions while also maintaining constant gravitational potentials. Aside from this case, these causal seed models can be cleanly distinguished from inflation by CMB experiments currently underway.

description: This narrative inquiry explores the implementation of multimodal, aesthetic responses to literature in my 12th grade English Language Arts classroom during the spring of 2018. Specifically, the study examines a unit of study for the novel The Color Purple, in which student received arts-based instruction from three different guest teaching artists and were asked to create multimodal final projects that expressed their understanding of the novel. Informed by social semiotic multimodality, the aesthetic theories of Dewey and Rosenblatt, and Bakhtin’s dialogism, this dissertation investigates the ways in which multimodal response to literature serves as a mechanism for making meaning and relevance for students. In light of the dominance of verbocentric modalities of constructing and expressing meaning within institutional schooling, this study explores the possibilities of non-verbocentric modalities and their potential role within the ELA classroom. Examining my data – field notes, audio recordings, video recordings, student surveys and student artifacts – through the lenses of the creation-reflection semiotic cycle (Dewey), and of modal affordances and modal fixing (Kress), I conclude that multimodal response can provide students with important mechanisms for understanding and engaging with literature. Specifically, I lay forth guiding principles for anchoring multimodal response to literary meaning, and for using multimodal response to invite students into the discourse community of the classroom.

description: Density-functional theory is used to investigate the phase behavior of colloidal binary hard-platelet and hard-rod fluids near a single hard wall or confined in a slit pore. The Zwanzig model, in which the orientations of the particles of rectangular shape are restricted to three orthogonal orientations, is analyzed by numerical minimization of the grand potential functional. The density and orientational profiles as well as the surface contributions to the grand potential are determined. The calculations exhibit a wall-induced continuous surface transition from uniaxial to biaxial symmetry for the hard-rod fluid. Complete wetting of the wall -- isotropic liquid interface by a biaxial nematic film for rods and a uniaxial nematic film for platelets is found. For the fluids confined by two parallel hard walls we determine a first-order capillary nematization transition for large slit widths, which terminates in a capillary critical point upon decreasing the slit width.

Quantifying entanglement of formation for two-mode Gaussian states: Analytical expressions for upper and lower bounds and numerical estimation of its exact value

description: Entanglement of formation quantifies the entanglement of a state in terms of the entropy of entanglement of the least entangled pure state needed to prepare it. An analytical expression for this measure exists only for special cases, and finding a closed formula for an arbitrary state still remains an open problem. In this work we focus on two-mode Gaussian states, and we derive narrow upper and lower bounds for the measure that get tight for several special cases. Further, we show that the problem of calculating the actual value of the entanglement of formation for arbitrary two-mode Gaussian states reduces to a trivial single parameter optimization process, and we provide an efficient algorithm for the numerical calculation of the measure.

description: The Sullivan sulphide ore body was discovered in 1892; Teck Cominco Metals Ltd. (Teck Cominco) and its predecessors operated underground lead/zinc mining, milling, and other industrial operations from 1909 until December 2001. The total area of land disturbance (mine, associated facilities and waste impoundments only) is on the order of 1,090 ha. Since the 1960s, Teck Cominco has been planning and implementing measures to restore and/or protect the environment impacted by mining activity. In 1991, at the request of the BC Ministry of Energy and Mines, Teck Cominco developed a comprehensive Decommissioning and Closure Plan that is being implemented under Mines Act Permit M-74. The BC Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection required site investigations and remediation to address contaminants and impacts not addressed in the Closure Plan (e.g., hydrocarbons). Remediation has included contaminant removal (where possible), and risk assessment/risk management, to meet Teck Cominco’s post closure objectives. The main contaminants are metals generated directly from mining activity (e.g., waste rock piles, tailing impoundments, fugitive dust) and from subsequent releases due to acid rock drainage. The Risk Assessment (RA) Problem Formulation (PF) for human, terrestrial and aquatic components is complete, and the RA is nearing completion. The PF process was successful in screening out receptor/contaminant combinations where negligible risks were predicted using conservative assumptions, and in identifying specific receptor/contaminant combinations that require additional investigation. The St. Mary River and Mark Creek are identified as primary receiving environment components and are key drivers of the RA. A hydrogeological and geochemical assessment of upgradient waste impoundments is being conducted concurrently with the RA to allow predictions of post closure groundwater and surface water concentrations. This paper focuses on the environmental regulatory framework, and the challenges faced due to two parallel regulatory processes under the Mines Act and Waste Management Act. An overview is also provided regarding the approach taken to conducting this RA at a large mine site where both anthropogenic activities and natural mineralization have resulted in elevated metals concentrations.

Multilevel Factors Associated with Uptake of Biomedical HIV Prevention Strategies in the Muslim World: a Study of Central Asia, India, and Mali

description: Countries with substantial Muslim populations are experiencing rapid changes in HIV prevalence. HIV testing and circumcision, as biomedical interventions, are the focus of this dissertation since biomedical strategies are the among the most efficacious HIV interventions. This dissertation examines the relationship of multilevel effects to HIV stigma, HIV risk behavior, and HIV status with two evidence-based HIV prevention intervention strategies (HIV testing and male circumcision) and a third HIV prevention intervention strategy (female circumcision) that is highly disputed, via three separate and distinct papers. This study is theoretically guided by the Ecological Perspective and the Social Network Conceptual Model. The sample for the first paper on Central Asia includes Kazakhstan (n=14,310), Kyrgyzstan (n=6,493), Uzbekistan (n=13,404), and Tajikistan (n=4,677), for a total n=38,884. The second paper sample is drawn from India: 65,356 men between the ages of 15 and 54. The third paper sample is drawn from Mali: 14,583; all of these participants are ever-married women of reproductive age (15-49 years old). Multilevel modeling was used in all three papers. This innovative methodology produced empirical evidence for the association of context with the behavior of the individual. A finding consistent in all three papers is that: context does matter. This dissertation examines context in terms of family and community membership. Specifically, the context of different levels of stigma and family/community membership impacts individuals' HIV testing and circumcision. In Central Asia, HIV stigma at the individual, family, and community levels is significantly associated with decreased HIV testing uptake and receipt of HIV test results. HIV stigma is associated with male circumcision status (i.e., whether a male is circumcised or uncircumcised) on individual, family, and community levels in India. In Mali, female circumcision was significantly associated with increased odds of HIV positive status, and circumcision status was not associated with HIV risk behavior. Family and community membership was also associated with HIV status and HIV risk behavior in Mali. The findings of the dissertation have important implications for practice, policy, and research.

description: The Jackiw-Teitelboim gauge formulation of the 1+1 dimensional gravity allows us to relate different gauge fixing conditions with integrable hierarchies of evolution equations. We show that the equations for the Zweibein fields can be written as a pair of time reversed evolution equations of the reaction-diffusion type, admitting dissipative solutions. The spectral parameter for the related Lax pair appears as the constant valued spin connection associated with the $SO(1,1)$ gauge symmetry. Spontaneous breaking of the non-compact symmetry and the irreversible evolution are discussed.

description: All ensembles of statistical mechanics are equivalent in the sense that they give the equivalent thermodynamic functions in the thermodynamic limit. However, when investigating microscopic structures in the first-order phase transition region, one must choose an appropriate statistical ensemble. The appropriate choice is particularly important when one investigates finite systems, for which even the equivalence of ensembles does not hold. We propose a class of statistical ensembles, which always give the correct equilibrium state even in the first-order phase transition region. We derive various formulas for this class of ensembles, including the one by which temperature is obtained directly from energy without knowing entropy. Moreover, these ensembles are convenient for practical calculations because of good analytic properties. We also derive formulas which relate statistical-mechanical quantities of different ensembles, including the conventional ones, for finite systems. The formulas are useful for obtaining results with smaller finite-size effects, and for improving the computational efficiency. The advantages of the squeezed ensembles are confirmed by applying them to the Heisenberg model and the frustrated Ising model.
