description: In line with the core goal of ALMA, the mission of the Program Management Group (PMG) is defined as: "To efficiently and effectively manage ALMA programs and assure the quality of data acquisition". It is within this framework that we have developed our high-level Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), with an aim to create a team driven by efficiency and effectiveness. This poster outlines the various metrics and goals associated with our higher-level KPIs, which measure the efficiency and effectiveness of our use of ALMA resources. These include observing and operations efficiency, total accumulated QA0 Pass, downtimes, failure rates, idle time, and more. The development of these KPIs has prompted a comprehensive review of procedures and logging policies during science operations. As a result, we now have a more precise log and description of activities affecting efficiency and effectiveness. Moreover, these KPIs aid us in setting and maintaining realistic goals over time, while also aligning our efforts across the different sectors of the observatory.
Conrad and Quinn : a case study in materialist canon formation
Creators: name: Gardner, Rachael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This thesis examines Joseph Conrad’s legacy as a modernist writer and argues that patron John Quinn was instrumental to securing it. The novelist wrote before the peak of modernism, belonged to non-modernist social spheres, and ultimately attained popular and commercial success unavailable to – and undesirable for – most authors considered modernist. In 1922, Ezra Pound rejected T.S. Eliot’s reference to Heart of Darkness in drafts of The Waste Land, doubting that Conrad was “weighty enough to stand the citation.” Virginia Woolf, despite admiring Conrad’s writing, predicted in 1917 that he could “never be among the classics” (“Mr. Conrad: A Conversation”). Ultimately, however, literary history has refuted the refutations of two prestigious modernist figures to place Conrad alongside them. Not only is he “among the classics;” Conrad is also a standard topic in books on modernism and in undergraduate courses on the movement. I argue that lawyer, collector, and patron John Quinn provided a network of financial and social resources that distinguished Conrad’s name from popular, middlebrow literature and situated it among an insular and elitist grouping of modernist names. My research in this thesis takes its cue from scholarship that brackets close textual analyses to perform what Franco Moretti has called “distant reading” (1). It draws upon a branch of modernist studies– represented by scholars including Michael North, Lawrence Rainey, Catherine Turner, and John Cooper – that attempts to re-contextualize modernism into its socioeconomic milieu to determine how market forces affected the movement’s literary production. My first chapter is devoted to tracing Conrad’s absorption into a modernist canon, transitioning from cultural reviews by his contemporaries to the scholarship conducted by future generations of readers. In a second chapter, I outline Quinn’s contributions to Conrad’s career and lasting reputation. While Quinn is most remembered for his avant-garde artistic and literary associations, he was also the popular Conrad’s earliest collector and one of his strongest promoters and supporters in America. I argue that Quinn’s money and connections were instrumental in securing Conrad’s modernist legacy.

description: Dynamical quantum groups were introduced by Etingof and Varchenko in connection with the dynamical quantum Yang-Baxter equation, and measured quantum groupoids were introduced by Enock, Lesieur and Vallin in their study of inclusions of type II_1 factors. In this article, we associate to suitable dynamical quantum groups, which are a purely algebraic objects, Hopf C*-bimodules and measured quantum groupoids on the level of von Neumann algebras. Assuming invariant integrals on the dynamical quantum group, we first construct a fundamental unitary which yields Hopf bimodules on the level of C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras. Next, we assume properness of the dynamical quantum group and lift the integrals to the operator algebras. In a subsequent article, this construction shall be applied to the dynamical SU_q(2) studied by Koelink and Rosengren.

Modulation of the immune system by Listeria monocytogenes
Creators: name: Aloyouni, Sheka Yagub
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: We had previously shown that attenuated Listeria monocytogenes (Lm) vaccines induce a strong Th1 response in neonatal mice, and prophylactically protect against histopathological signs of asthma. To test the ability of Lm as a therapeutic vaccine to diminish allergic sensitization in a mouse model of ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma, adult mice were sensitized intraperitoneally and challenged intranasally with OVA to induce asthma. Mice were then immunized intraperitoneally with a single dose of either live attenuated Lm vaccine that expresses OVA (LmOVA), live Lm expressing no allergen, or NaCl. Six weeks later, anesthetized mice were challenged intranasally with OVA and evaluated for cellular infiltration and tissue remodeling. We found that vaccination with live-attenuated Lm strains did not reduce already established allergic inflammation in all of the parameters we measured except that it did significantly reduce the total BALF eosinophil count in the LmOVA group. To test the functional impact of our prophylactic vaccine approach in vivo, we immunized mice as newborns with live LmOVA or Lm, followed 6 weeks later by allergic sensitization with OVA and evaluation by FlexiVent to determine airway hyperreactivity. We found that prophylactic vaccination reduced airway hyperreactivity, in an antigen-specific (i.e. LmOVA) as well as non-specific (i.e. Lm not expressing OVA) manner. Thus, our neonatal prophylactic vaccine approach holds promise as a powerful tool to modulate early life immune ontogeny and effectively prevent asthma. In order to study any potentially harmful effect of neonatal immunization with Lm, newborn mice were immunized intraperitoneally with the live Lm attenuated strain or with saline. Six weeks later, anesthetized mice were challenged intranasally with Saccharopolyspora rectivirgula antigen (SR-Ag) on three consecutive days per week for three weeks. We were unable to detect any changes on the HP phenotype comparing vaccinate vs. unvaccinated mice. In conclusion, prophylactic neonatal immunization with Lm-based vaccines provided functional protection from asthma in vivo, and may also provide some therapeutic benefit. Importantly, Lm-induced early life immune modulation did not exacerbate the development of some Th1/Th17-biased diseases later in life.
Multicolor Ramsey Numbers for Complete Bipartite Versus Complete Graphs

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)

description: Let H_1, ..., H_k be graphs. The multicolor Ramsey number r(H_1,...,H_k) is the minimum integer r such that in every edge-coloring of K_r by k colors, there is a monochromatic copy of H_i in color i for some 1 <= i <= k. In this paper, we investigate the multicolor Ramsey number $r(K_{2,t},...,K_{2,t},K_m)$, determining the asymptotic behavior up to a polylogarithmic factor for almost all ranges of t and m. Several different constructions are used for the lower bounds, including the random graph and explicit graphs built from finite fields. A technique of Alon and Rödl using the probabilistic method and spectral arguments is employed to supply tight lower bounds. A sample result is $c_1 m^2t/\log^4(mt) \leq r(K_{2,t},K_{2,t},K_m) \leq c_2 m^2t/\log^2 m$ for any t and m, where c_1 and c_2 are absolute constants.

description: We measured the resonance spectra of two stadium-shaped dielectric microwave resonators and tested a semiclassical trace formula for chaotic dielectric resonators proposed by Bogomolny et al. [Phys. Rev. E 78, 056202 (2008)]. We found good qualitative agreement between the experimental data and the predictions of the trace formula. Deviations could be attributed to missing resonances in the measured spectra in accordance with previous experiments [Phys. Rev. E 81, 066215 (2010)]. The investigation of the numerical length spectrum showed good qualitative and reasonable quantitative agreement with the trace formula. It demonstrated, however, the need for higher-order corrections of the trace formula. The application of a curvature correction to the Fresnel reflection coefficients entering the trace formula yielded better agreement, but deviations remained, indicating the necessity of further investigations.

Acceleration of particles near the inner black hole horizon

description: We study the possibility of obtaining unbound energy E_{c.m.} in the centre of mass frame when two particles collide near the inner black hole horizon. We consider two different cases - when both particles move (i) in the same direction or (ii) in the opposite ones. We also discuss two different versions of the effect - whether an infinite energy can be released in the collision (strong version) or the energy E_{c.m.} is finite but can be made as large as one likes (weak version). We demonstrate that the strong version of the effect is impossible in both cases (i) and (ii). In case (i) this is due to the fact that in the situation when E_{c.m.} formally diverges on the horizon, one of particles passes through the bifurcation point where two horizons meet while the second particle does not, so collision does not occur. In case (ii), both particles hit different branches of the horizon. The weak version is possible in both cases, provided at least one of particles starts its motion inside the horizon along the direction of spatial symmetry from infinity.

description: The energy transfer mechanism in zero temperature superfluid turbulence of helium-4 is still a widely debated topic. Currently, the main hypothesis is that weakly nonlinear interacting Kelvin waves transfer energy to sufficiently small scales such that energy is dissipated as heat via phonon excitations. Theoretically, there are at least two proposed theories for Kelvin-wave interactions. We perform the most comprehensive numerical simulation of weakly nonlinear interacting Kelvin-waves to date and show, using a specially designed numerical algorithm incorporating the full Biot-Savart equation, that our results are consistent with nonlocal six-wave Kelvin wave interactions as proposed by L'vov and Nazarenko.

description: In the late seventies, Clark [In Communication Systems and Random Process Theory (Proc. 2nd NATO Advanced Study Inst., Darlington, 1977) (1978) 721-734, Sijthoff & Noordhoff] pointed out that it would be natural for $π_t$, the solution of the stochastic filtering problem, to depend continuously on the observed data $Y=\{Y_s,s\in[0,t]\}$. Indeed, if the signal and the observation noise are independent one can show that, for any suitably chosen test function $f$, there exists a continuous map $θ^f_t$, defined on the space of continuous paths $C([0,t],\mathbb{R}^d)$ endowed with the uniform convergence topology such that $π_t(f)=θ^f_t(Y)$, almost surely; see, for example, Clark [In Communication Systems and Random Process Theory (Proc. 2nd NATO Advanced Study Inst., Darlington, 1977) (1978) 721-734, Sijthoff & Noordhoff], Clark and Crisan [Probab. Theory Related Fields 133 (2005) 43-56], Davis [Z. Wahrsch. Verw. Gebiete 54 (1980) 125-139], Davis [Teor. Veroyatn. Primen. 27 (1982) 160-167], Kushner [Stochastics 3 (1979) 75-83]. As shown by Davis and Spathopoulos [SIAM J. Control Optim. 25 (1987) 260-278], Davis [In Stochastic Systems: The Mathematics of Filtering and Identification and Applications, Proc. NATO Adv. Study Inst. Les Arcs, Savoie, France 1980 505-528], [In The Oxford Handbook of Nonlinear Filtering (2011) 403-424 Oxford Univ. Press], this type of robust representation is also possible when the signal and the observation noise are correlated, provided the observation process is scalar. For a general correlated noise and multidimensional observations such a representation does not exist. By using the theory of rough paths we provide a solution to this deficiency: the observation process $Y$ is "lifted" to the process $\mathbf{Y}$ that consists of $Y$ and its corresponding Lévy area process, and we show that there exists a continuous map $θ_t^f$, defined on a suitably chosen space of Hölder continuous paths such that $π_t(f)=θ_t^f(\mathbf{Y})$, almost surely.

Can 4D visioning foster community responses on climate change?
Creators: name: Cornish, Laura M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This research addresses the need for processes at the local government level that can effectively move communities towards taking meaningful action on climate change. It evaluates the long-term impact of one such process – the Local Climate Change Visioning Project (LCCV): a community engagement and decision support process in two case study communities: Delta and North Vancouver. The LCCV process uses landscape visualization tools integrated with participatory modeling and future scenario development to illustrate to local government staff, stakeholders, and the broader public what their community could look like under various future scenarios of climate change adaptation and mitigation. Through a document analysis and 12 semi-structured interviews with stakeholders who participated in the LCCV, this research project attempts to discover if the process can facilitate the adoption of climate change mitigation and adaptation responses at the municipal level. While the LCCV was not able to shift the development path of the local communities, the LCCV did help to facilitate action on climate change.

Polar coding to achieve the Holevo capacity of a pure-loss optical channel

description: In the low-energy high-energy-efficiency regime of classical optical communications---relevant to deep-space optical channels---there is a big gap between reliable communication rates achievable via conventional optical receivers and the ultimate (Holevo) capacity. Achieving the Holevo capacity requires not only optimal codes but also receivers that make collective measurements on long (modulated) codeword waveforms, and it is impossible to implement these collective measurements via symbol-by-symbol detection along with classical postprocessing. Here, we apply our recent results on the classical-quantum polar code---the first near-explicit, linear, symmetric-Holevo-rate achieving code---to the lossy optical channel, and we show that it almost closes the entire gap to the Holevo capacity in the low photon number regime. In contrast, Arikan's original polar codes, applied to the DMC induced by the physical optical channel paired with any conceivable structured optical receiver (including optical homodyne, heterodyne, or direct-detection) fails to achieve the ultimate Holevo limit to channel capacity. However, our polar code construction (which uses the quantum fidelity as a channel parameter rather than the classical Bhattacharyya quantity to choose the "good channels" in the polar-code construction), paired with a quantum successive-cancellation receiver---which involves a sequence of collective non-destructive binary projective measurements on the joint quantum state of the received codeword waveform---can attain the Holevo limit, and can hence in principle achieve higher rates than Arikan's polar code and decoder directly applied to the optical channel. However, even a theoretical recipe for construction of an optical realization of the quantum successive-cancellation receiver remains an open question.

Our construction uses two ingredients: (i) the relation between the representation theories of the N=2 superconformal algebra and the affine sl(2) algebra, extended to the level of the conformal blocks, and (ii) the relation between affine sl(2) conformal blocks and instanton partition functions in the 4d N=2 SU(2) gauge theory with a surface defect. By combining these two facts we derive combinatorial expressions for the N=2 superconformal blocks in the Gaiotto limit.

description: A simple model, describing the dynamics of the non-equilibrium pseudospin of a homogeneous Bose-Einstein condensate of exciton polaritons, has been formulated. It explains the suppression of spin splitting of a non-equilibrium polariton condensate in an external magnetic field, the optical alignment, and the conversion of alignment into orientation of polaritons. It has been shown that inverse effects are possible, to wit, the spontaneous circular polarization and the enhancement of spin splitting of a non-equilibrium condensate of polaritons in the absence of external field.

title: The impact of varying levels of consistency and coaching on deception detection accuracy of children’s injury reports
Creators: name: Compton-Gillingham, Cassy C.
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2023

description: The present study examined factors that impact the believability of children’s testimonies. There are both forensic and real-world implications for the believability of children’s testimonies in court and their given word. The present study aimed to examine transcripts of 8-10 year-olds who were coached or not in order to determine the impact of adding and removing inconsistencies on veracity assessments made by the general population (N= 1,383). It was hypothesized that consistency would account for the increased believability of coached reports. The study found that inconsistency impacted participants’ veracity decisions, with a greater number of less consistent transcripts being rated as untruthful. Coaching did not impact the believability of transcripts when consistency was considered. Overall, the hypothesis that consistency accounts for coaching’s increase in believability was supported.

description: The model representing two independent Poisson processes, labelled as "signal" and "background" and both contributing at the same time to the total number of counted events, is considered from a Bayesian point of view. This is a widely used model for the searches of rare or exotic events in presence of some background source, as for example in the searches performed by the high-energy physics experiments. In the assumption of some prior knowledge about the background yield, a reference prior is obtained for the signal alone and its properties are studied. Finally, the properties of the full solution, the marginal reference posterior, are illustrated with few examples.

description: Many complex networks exhibit a percolation transition involving a macroscopic connected component, with universal features largely independent of the microscopic model and the macroscopic domain geometry. In contrast, we show that the transition to full connectivity is strongly influenced by details of the boundary, but observe an alternative form of universality. Our approach correctly distinguishes connectivity properties of networks in domains with equal bulk contributions. It also facilitates system design to promote or avoid full connectivity for diverse geometries in arbitrary dimension.

Generalized Morse Wavelets as a Superfamily of Analytic Wavelets
Creators: name: Lilly, Jonathan M.
name: Olhede, Sofia C.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Methodology (stat.ME)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The generalized Morse wavelets are shown to constitute a superfamily that essentially encompasses all other commonly used analytic wavelets, subsuming eight apparently distinct types of analysis filters into a single common form. This superfamily of analytic wavelets provides a framework for systematically investigating wavelet suitability for various applications. In addition to a parameter controlling the time-domain duration or Fourier-domain bandwidth, the wavelet {\em shape} with fixed bandwidth may be modified by varying a second parameter, called $γ$. For integer values of $γ$, the most symmetric, most nearly Gaussian, and generally most time-frequency concentrated member of the superfamily is found to occur for $γ=3$. These wavelets, known as "Airy wavelets," capture the essential idea of popular Morlet wavelet, while avoiding its deficiencies. They may be recommended as an ideal starting point for general purpose use.

Planck-scale effects on WIMP dark matter

description: There exists a widely known conjecture that gravitational effects violate global symmetries. We study the effect of global-symmetry violating higher-dimension operators induced by Planck-scale physics on the properties of WIMP dark matter. Using an effective description, we show that the lifetime of the WIMP dark matter candidate can satisfy cosmological bounds under reasonable assumptions regarding the strength of the dimension-five operators. On the other hand, the indirect WIMP dark matter detection signal is significantly enhanced due to new decay channels.

Pseudoscalar Meson in Two Flavors QCD with the Optimal Domain-Wall Fermion

description: We perform hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) simulatons of two flavors QCD with the optimal domain-wall fermion (ODWF) on the 16^3 x 32 lattice (with lattice spacing a ~ 0.1 fm), for eight sea-quark masses corresponding to pion masses in the range 228-565 MeV. We calculate the mass and the decay constant of the pseudoscalar meson, and compare our data with the chiral perturbation theory (ChPT). We find that our data is in good agreement with the sea-quark mass dependence predicted by the next-to-leading order (NLO) ChPT, and provides a determination of the low-energy constants \bar{l}_3 and \bar{l}_4, the pion decay constant, the chiral condensate, and the average up and down quark mass.

The usual suspects : a feminist critical discourse analysis of media representations of responsibility for sexual assault prevention
Creators: name: Ariana, Barer
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This thesis examined the representation of social actors responsible for sexual assault prevention published in media and police reports and grassroots poster campaigns that followed a series of sexual assaults perpetrated in Edmonton between May 2008 and March 2010. Reporting by Edmonton Journal, CBC News, and the published responses of the Garneau Sisterhood, a grassroots organization, was examined through a lens informed by feminist critical discourse analysis (FCDA). Using FCDA, I analyzed the ways in which the representations of social actors in these texts changed across time both linguistically and interdiscursively. Three main neoliberal discourses found to be operating in media representations of social actors in the Edmonton Journal and CBC News were discourses of individualization, authority, and feminization. An analysis of social actors in the media showed these assaults to be isolated and individualized crimes. In addition, media representation included an unquestioned deference to police authority in seeking solutions and justice, and the construction of rape-avoidance as a hegemonic norm of femininity. The main discourse found in the Garneau Sisterhood poster campaigns was a discourse of collective responsibility. Sexualized violence will not likely end without a shift in the culture of violence toward women. At a time when the federal government is defunding feminist advocacy and direct service organizations—forcing them to close or function precariously—the presence of collective-oriented, grassroots interruptions of normalized rape culture is both urgent and hopeful.
