Alberta in transition: assessing gaps between public opinion and political culture
Creators: Wesley, Jared
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

SSHRC IG awarded 2023: A gulf has emerged between who Albertans are as individuals, and who they see themselves to be as a community. When asked which values animate provincial politics, most Albertans continue to describe the dominance of "wild west" notions like populism, western alienation, settler colonialism, frontier masculinity, bootstrap individualism, and the primacy of prosperity. In short, their perception of the typical Albertan remains static, gendered, and rooted in a "cowboy" past. When asked about their own political preferences, however, the average Albertan is far less conservative than this persona portrays. Albertans tend to be centrist, even progressive, when it comes to social issues like health care and inclusion. And socio-demographically, the province has shifted even further away from this "cowboy" image, becoming one of Canada's most urbanized and ethnically-diverse provinces. We will deploy a new series of panel surveys to determine whether Albertans are as alienated, conservative, individualistic, and populist as common wisdom suggests, while tracking individual-level changes throughout the early-post-pandemic period.
Paper Lives, Post­digital Connections: Contemporary Journaling
Creators: Rak, Julie
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

SSHRC IDG awarded 2023: "Paper Lives, Post-­Digital Connections" will explore the unlikely, and vibrant, connection of paper journals to digitally­ connected international communities devoted to journaling, particularly by members of Gen-­Z, on the social media platforms they use the most: YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. The project applies to journaling theories of the "post-­digital," which posit that analog and digital ways of being in the world coexist, to and even work to support each other. Through interviews with media influencers, tours of key stationery stores and factories in France and Japan, and through theorizing the persistence of material writing practices in new materialist theory, book history and the study of online and paper diaries, "Paper Lives, Post­-Digital Connections" is dedicated to exploring what the connections are between self­-making and self­-tracking on paper and via social media, in the 21st century.

description: Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been increasingly used in the implementation of advanced Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS). Research demonstrated the potential usefulness of AI-powered CDSS (AI-CDSS) in clinical decision making scenarios. However, post-adoption user perception and experience remain understudied, especially in developing countries. Through observations and interviews with 22 clinicians from 6 rural clinics in China, this paper reports the various tensions between the design of an AI-CDSS system ("Brilliant Doctor") and the rural clinical context, such as the misalignment with local context and workflow, the technical limitations and usability barriers, as well as issues related to transparency and trustworthiness of AI-CDSS. Despite these tensions, all participants expressed positive attitudes toward the future of AI-CDSS, especially acting as "a doctor's AI assistant" to realize a Human-AI Collaboration future in clinical settings. Finally we draw on our findings to discuss implications for designing AI-CDSS interventions for rural clinical contexts in developing countries.
Pre-service teachers' embodied experiences of task design for spatial reasoning: a sensory ethnographic approach
Creators: Markle, Joshua
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

SSHRC IG awarded 2023: Mathematics is typically conceived as a cerebral, solitary activity. Tasks are ubiquitous in the mathematics classroom. From traditional textbook questions and worksheets to collaborative, inquiry­based problems, tasks are the stage on which mathematical knowing and doing play out. Moreover, their careful selection and adaptation should be an integral part of mathematics teacher education. Drawing on research in cognitive science and psychology, recent scholarship has emerged around the idea of embodied task design, or the design of learning experiences that provide affordances for the body as a cognitive resource in learning mathematics. I propose to use the frameworks of enactivism, which is a theory of embodied cognition, and sensory ethnography to describe and interpret how pre­service teachers experience their bodies (e.g., through sensation, perception, movement, etc.) when they explore and design tasks for the K to 12 math classroom.
The Elusive p-air Cross Section

description: For the $\pbar p$ and $pp$ systems, we have used all of the extensive data of the Particle Data Group[K. Hagiwara {\em et al.} (Particle Data Group), Phys. Rev. D 66, 010001 (2002).]. We then subject these data to a screening process, the ``Sieve'' algorithm[M. M. Block, physics/0506010.], in order to eliminate ``outliers'' that can skew a $χ^2$ fit. With the ``Sieve'' algorithm, a robust fit using a Lorentzian distribution is first made to all of the data to sieve out abnormally high $\delchi$, the individual i$^{\rm th}$ point's contribution to the total $χ^2$. The $χ^2$ fits are then made to the sieved data. We demonstrate that we cleanly discriminate between asymptotic $\ln s$ and $\ln^2s$ behavior of total hadronic cross sections when we require that these amplitudes {\em also} describe, on average, low energy data dominated by resonances. We simultaneously fit real analytic amplitudes to the ``sieved'' high energy measurements of $\bar p p$ and $pp$ total cross sections and $ρ$-values for $\sqrt s\ge 6$ GeV, while requiring that their asymptotic fits smoothly join the the $σ_{\bar p p}$ and $σ_{pp}$ total cross sections at $\sqrt s=$4.0 GeV--again {\em both} in magnitude and slope. Our results strongly favor a high energy $\ln^2s$ fit, basically excluding a $\ln s$ fit. Finally, we make a screened Glauber fit for the p-air cross section, using as input our precisely-determined $pp$ cross sections at cosmic ray energies.

Addressing Domestic Violence in Post Migration Gender Relations- A Prerequisite for Building Sustainable, Resilient Immigrant Communities
Creators: Okeke-Ihejirika, Philomina
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2017

SSHRC KSG awarded 2017: Canada's increasingly needs immigrant labor to sustain its economic growth. It also plays a leading role in re-settling displaced populations across the world. Immigrants and refugees equally make significant social and cultural contributions to Canada's robust multicultural society. Hence, the need to enhance their capacity to build sustainable and resilient immigrant communities cannot be overstated. Domestic violence has been identified as a growing threat to these newcomers to Canadian society. Scholars, policy makers, service providers and community organizations are seeking ways to tackle the problem. But there is little or no systematic analysis ofexisting knowledge about the problem and the gaps withinthat could provide clear directions for further research, effective policies and action. As a beginning point to combating domestic violence among recent newcomers to Canada, this study will bring together a team of scholars, policy makers and service  providers that work with or serve immigrants and refugees to assess the relevant literature, policy  documents and reports on service provision, highlight the strengths, weaknesses and gaps in existing knowledge, map out important areas for future research, and identify best practices as well as the most promising policies.
Identification of novel allosteric modulators using in silico approaches: A case study using Plasmodium falciparum prolyl tRNA synthetase

description: Malaria, an infectious disease is a major public health concern world wide due to high morbidity and mortality cases associated with the disease. Attempts to eradicate malaria disease have not been successful as Plasmodium parasites have developed resistance against available drugs. This has driven the need to identify new drug targets and discover novel antimalarial drug compounds. Prolyl-tRNA synthetase (ProRS) is a member of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, proteins that function in ligating amino acids to their cognate tRNA. These enzymes are present in all the parasite life cycle stages and are also important for the parasite survival, and thus are desirable drug targets. Although previous studies have identified orthosteric inhibitors against Plasmodium falciparum ProRS (PfProRS), these inhibitors display high levels of cytotoxicity to human cells. Therefore, in this study, we sought to predict allosteric sites in PfProRS and identify novel allosteric inhibitors that target this site, as allosteric modulators are highly specific. Hit compounds were identified through virtual screening using AutoDock vina. The effect of protein flexibility by ligand binding was studied through molecular dynamic (MD) simulations. Further, MD trajectories were analysed using dynamic residue network calculations to understand the changes at residue level. A total of five allosteric modulators were identified which can be used for further development of antimalarial inhibitors with minimal human cytotoxicity.
Threatened identities and polarized groups: How intergroup leadership can heal divided societies
Creators: Rast III, David
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

SSHRC IG awarded 2023: Societal and organizational success often hinges on whether subgroups or departments can successfully work together. These subgroups or departments can have positive, harmonious relations whether they feel connected with the larger, superordinate group that lends itself to cooperation, cohesion, and purpose. But these subgroups sometimes have destructively competitive, even hostile and violent, relations with one another and an associated sense of distrust or identity threat. This leads to people feeling alienated and socially distant from the superordinate identity as the superordinate group is fractured by subgroup conflict, which weakens the superordinate group's cohesion, common purpose and shared worldview, and its members' sense of security. The question we address in this project is how the latter can be transformed into the former. We focus specifically on the leadership challenged presented by fractured groups and communities.
Relational Governance Project: Constituting knowledge networks through a relational governance database

Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

SSHRC IG awarded 2023: The Relational Governance Project will study how First Nations create arrangements of shared jurisdiction with each other. To assist First Nations in governing service delivery, this application details the construction of a Relational Governance Database (see figure one in Detailed Description). The database will play a vital role in Indigenous institution building because it will create new vocabularies and knowledge around how First Nations conceptualize and practice collaborative governance arrangements. The project will compile a comprehensive national picture of how First Nations govern K-12 education and will provide the knowledge and software necessary to expand to other areas of First Nation governance. All information in this version will be vetted by education practitioners who together will constitute a new knowledge network to conceptualize the governance of First Nation service delivery.
Pathways to energy democracy in Canada
Creators: Parkins, John
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

SSHRC IG awarded 2023: Canada is experiencing rapid energy transition, with profound implications for how we live, move and work. Our country is poised to expand renewable energy capacity from 19 gigawatts in 2021 to almost 45 GW in 2025, driven mainly from wind and solar energy projects in western Canada. This transition includes the decarbonization of electricity, electrification of transportation, energy efficient housing and urban design as well as changes in consumer behaviour. Although these sweeping changes in the energy system hold tremendous potential for societal transformation, they also risk underpinning the status quo, retrenching systems of inequality, and exacerbating issues of access and affordability across many parts of the country. there is very limited research in Canada on the possibilities and limits of expanding community-based renewable energy (CRE) projects, and we know even less about how well existing projects are meeting their economic, social and environmental objectives. With these concerns in mind, the proliferation of CRE projects in Canada are at the heart of this proposal. In particular, we explore the possibilities for advancing these types of projects as manifestations of energy democracy and energy justice to meeting the needs of diverse and evolving rural, urban and Indigenous communities.

description: The best level of ordering and straightening of carbon nanotube arrays is often achieved when they are grown in a dielectric matrix, so such structures present the most suitable candidates for future channeling experiments with carbon nanotubes. Consequently, we investigate here how the dynamic polarization of carbon valence electrons in the presence of various surrounding dielectric media affects the angular distributions of protons channeled through (11,~9) single-wall carbon nanotubes. Proton speeds between 3 and 10 a.u., corresponding to energies of 0.223 and 2.49 MeV, are chosen with the nanotube's length varied between 0.1 and 1 $μ$m. We describe the repulsive interaction between a proton and the nanotube's atoms in a continuum-potential approximation based on the Doyle-Turner potential, whereas the attractive image force on a proton is calculated using a two-dimensional hydrodynamic model for the dynamic response of the nanotube valence electrons, while assigning to the surrounding medium an appropriate (frequency dependent) dielectric function. The angular distributions of channeled protons are generated using a computer simulation method which solves the proton equations of motion in the transverse plane numerically. Our analysis shows that the presence of a dielectric medium can strongly affect both the appearance and positions of maxima in the angular distributions of channeled protons.

CanCon and its Digital Discontents: A Public Infrastructure Model for Canadian Music
Creators: Fauteux, Brian
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

SSHRC IG awarded 2023: Making a living from music is increasingly precarious. A 2020 study of the 1.6 million artists who released music to streaming services found that 90 percent of plays were generated by one percent of artists (Alpha Data). With fractions of a penny being paid per play, streaming platforms have eliminated reliable royalty revenue of recordings for all but the most popular musicians. Independent and diverse voices are increasingly unable to compete against a small handful of American megastars. Our project provides the research results to find a solution to a dire problem, the longevity and sustainability of one of Canada' most important public resources: its diverse musical heritage. Our research and analysis aims to inform policy for a potential public infrastructure for Canadian music communities that responds to larger issues of media industry concentration and unequal power dynamics in the global music industries.

description: Various tin hydrides SnHx (x = 4, 8, 12, 14) have been theoretically predicted to be stable at high pressures and to show high-critical-temperature superconductivity with Tc ranging from about 70 to 100 K. However, experimental verifications for any of these phases are still lacking to date. Here, we report on the in-situ synthesis, electrical resistance, and synchrotron x-ray diffraction measurements of SnHx at ~ 200 GPa. The main phase of the obtained sample can be indexed with the monoclinic C2/m SnH12 via comparison with the theoretical structural modes. A sudden drop of resistance and the systematic downward shift under external magnetic fields signals the occurrence of superconductivity in SnHx at Tc = ~ 70 K with an upper critical field u0Hc2(0) = ~ 11.2 T, which is relatively low in comparison with other reported high-Tc superhydrides. Various characteristic superconducting parameters are estimated based on the BCS theory.

description: The enhanced superconductivity in monolayer FeSe on titanates opens a fascinating pathway towards the rational design of high-temperature superconductors. Utilizing the state-of-the-art oxide plus chalcogenide molecular beam epitaxy systems in situ connected to a synchrotron angle-resolved photoemission spectroscope, epitaxial LaTiO3 layers with varied atomic thicknesses are inserted between monolayer FeSe and SrTiO3, for systematic modulation of interfacial chemical potential.With the dramatic increase of electron accumulation at the LaTiO3-SrTiO3 surface, providing a substantial surge of work function mismatch across the FeSe-oxide interface, the charge transfer and the superconducting gap in the monolayer FeSe are found to remain markedly robust. This unexpected finding indicates the existence of an intrinsically anchored magic doping within the monolayer FeSe systems.

These institutions have immense potential to build, engage, and activate their local constituent communities and provide those communities with the spaces, knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to engage with both the political and governmental challenges that they face. There are as many degrees and means by which institutions can work towards this accessioning as there are arts and culture institutions themselves, however this report has identified three broad categories by which such accessioning and action can be achieved

Global Indigenous Leadership in Genomics Symposium

Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

SSHRC CG awarded 2024: Society, in the early twenty-first century, has been shaped by new knowledge of genomics, also known as the science of DNA, yet Indigenous peoples remain underrepresented in research and leadership roles in genome and other science, technology, math, and engineering fields. To address the problem of low recruitment, support, and matriculation of Indigenous science students, researchers across Canada and the US have been working with leaders in scientific and Indigenous Peoples' communities to create the Summer internship for INdigenous peoples in Genomics (SING). SING Canada is week-long residential program that invites Indigenous participants to engage in hands-on classroom, lab, and field training in genomic sciences and Indigenous knowledge. The curriculum includes an introduction to advances in Indigenous approaches to genomics and its ethical, environmental, economic, legal, and social (GE3LS) implications. We are equally interested in analyzing the political contexts and power relations shaping relationships between Indigenous peoples and genome science. SING Canada will host the Global Indigenous Leadership in Genomics Symposium, a gathering that will bring the wider SING Consortium together with local, national and international leaders of Indigenous-led genomics. The symposium's focus on Indigenous leadership crucially reframes Indigenous peoples as having the knowledge and expertise to govern the genome sciences and technologies affecting them. We go well beyond an inclusionary model toward a decolonial model of genomics.

description: This report explores potential urban land use planning implications of changes both accelerated and brought forth by the COVID-19 pandemic that began in March of 2020. Analysis of current trends is first grounded by a literature review that examines the origins of urban systems and considers methodologies for conducting and evaluating land use planning and implementation efforts. The three notable trends studied are: increased remote and hybrid working arrangements, housing supply shortages and affordability challenges, and acknowledgement of disparate urban experiences based on race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. Discussion of the disruptive potential of these trends aims to move the land use planning field beyond its reactive status quo toward consideration of how cities and metro areas can strategically position themselves to adapt and thrive in the face of changing futures. A case study of the Austin Metro Area examines specific manifestations of these trends and proposes challenges to the current land use planning approach in the region and its principal city. Planning and regulation of land use must be more flexible in the face of uncertainty, more cognizant of historical planning interventions and the disparate impacts of exclusionary policies, and more responsive to changing patterns of socioeconomic geographic distribution related to affordability, mobility, and economic opportunity for both households and the region. Additionally, future land use planning must center the needs of diverse types of people and their use patterns rather than seeking to achieve “ideal” urban forms derived from often outdated and worker-focused assumptions about how people interact with the built environment. To support this approach, planners require better means of collecting and monitoring real-time data about population characteristics, economic activity, mobility, and the real estate market, particularly in a quickly evolving urban system like the Austin Metro Area

R-DMFT study of a non-Hermitian skin effect for correlated systems: analysis based on a pseudo-spectrum

description: We analyze a correlated system in equilibrium with special emphasis on non-Hermitian topology inducing a skin effect. The pseudo-spectrum, computed by the real-space dynamical mean-field theory, elucidates that additional pseudo-eigenstates emerge for the open boundary condition in contrast to the dependence of the density of states on the boundary condition. We further discuss how the line-gap topology, another type of non-Hermitian topology, affects the pseudo-spectrum. Our numerical simulation clarifies that while the damping of the quasi-particles induces the non-trivial point-gap topology, it destroys the non-trivial line-gap topology. The above two effects are also reflected in the temperature dependence of the local pseudo-spectral weight.

description: Currently, the processing of scientific data in astroparticle physics is based on various distributed technologies, the most common of which are Grid and cloud computing. The most frequently discussed approaches are focused on large and even very large scientific experiments, such as Cherenkov Telescope Array. We, by contrast, offer a solution designed for small to medium experiments such as TAIGA. In such experiments, as a rule, historically developed specific data processing methods and specialized software are used. We have specifically designed a distributed (cloud) data storage for astroparticle physics data collaboration in medium-sized experiments. In this article, we discuss the current state of our work using the example of the TAIGA and CASCADE experiments. A feature of our approach is that we provide our users with scientific data in the form to which they are accustomed to in everyday work on local resources.

Reversible and irreversible dynamics of a qubit interacting with a small environment

Year: 2006

description: We analyze the dynamics of a system qubit interacting by means a sequence of pairwise collisions with an environment consisting of just two qubits. We show that the density operator of the qubits approaches a common time averaged equilibrium state, characterized by large fluctuations, only for a random sequence of collisions. For a regular sequence of collisions the qubitstates of the system and of the reservoir undergo instantaneous periodic oscillations and do not relax to a common state. Furthermore we show that pure bipartite entanglement is developed only when at least two qubits are initially in the same purestate while otherwise also genuine multipartite entanglement builds up.

Développement et analyse multi outils d'un protocole MAC déterministe pour un réseau de capteurs sans fil

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Networking and Internet Architecture (cs.NI)

description: In this article, we present a multi-tool method for the development and the analysis of a new medium access method. IEEE 802.15.4 / ZigBee technology has been used as a basis for this new determinist MAC layer which enables a high level of QoS. This WPAN can be typically used for wireless sensor networks which require strong temporal constraints. To validate the proposed protocol, three complementary and adequate tools are used: Petri Nets for the formal validation of the algorithm, a dedicated simulator for the temporal aspects, and some measures on a real prototype based on a couple of ZigBee FREESCALE components for the hardware characterization of layers #1 and #2.
Impact of dark matter on reionization and heating

description: We derived the evolution of the energy deposition in the intergalactic medium (IGM) by different decaying (or annihilating) dark matter (DM) candidates. Heavy annihilating DM particles (with mass larger than a few GeV) have no influence on reionization and heating, even if we assume that all the energy emitted by annihilations is absorbed by the IGM. In the case of lighter particles, the impact on reionization and heating depends on the efficiency of energy absorption by the IGM. We calculated the fraction of energy produced by decays and annihilations which is effectively absorbed by the IGM. We found that this fraction is generally high at very high redshift (>>100), but drops at more recent epochs.

description: In this work, the origin of the dielectric breakdown of 4H-SiC power MOSFETs was studied at the nanoscale, analyzing devices that failed after extremely long (three months) of high temperature reverse bias (HTRB) stress. A one-to-one correspondence between the location of the breakdown event and a threading dislocation propagating through the epitaxial layer was found. Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) revealed the conductive nature of the threading dislocation and a local modification of the minority carriers concentration. Basing on these results, the role of the threading dislocation on the failure of 4H-SiC MOSFETs could be clarified.

description: Using a functional renormalization group approach we study the zero temperature phase diagram of two-dimensional Bose-Fermi mixtures of ultra-cold atoms in optical lattices, in the limit when the velocity of bosonic condensate fluctuations are much larger than the Fermi velocity. For spin-1/2 fermions we obtain a phase diagram, which shows a competition of pairing phases of various orbital symmetry ($s$, $p$, and $d$) and antiferromagnetic order. We determine the value of the gaps of various phases close to half-filling, and identify subdominant orders as well as short-range fluctuations from the RG flow. For spinless fermions we find that p-wave pairing dominates the phase diagram.
