description: The paper considers the modeling of the process of heat transfer between heaters and material, taking into account heat exchange with the environment. To solve this problem, an experimental drying unit was assembled. Paraffin, sand, salt and brick were selected as test materials. The research carried out with the use of paraffin shows the most optimal and economical result in relation to other materials. The efficiency of paraffin application reaches 51 o„R, and the cooling time takes much longer. In addition, the selected material and the selected temperature have a beneficial effect on the drying process of plant material. The article details the data and results of the heating process of the test materials and the selection justification. In the form of tables, the data of measurements of materials with high heat capacity at various temperatures from 20 to 51,5 ‹C are given. The process was observed with a thickness of 4 cm and for different durations from 1 to 120 minutes. The calculations of this procedure were also performed. This work can be useful for work where paraffin is used as a heating agent and, if necessary, for performing calculations.

description: We present the results of our recent analyses of the form factors F_pi(Q^2) and F_{P gamma}(Q^2), P = pi, eta, eta', within the local-duality version of QCD sum rules. To probe the expected accuracy of this method, we consider, in parallel to QCD, a quantum-mechanical potential model. In the latter case, the exact form factor may be calculated from the solutions of the Schrödinger equation and confronted with the result from the quantum-mechanical local-duality sum rule. We find that the local-duality sum rule is expected to yield reliable predictions for both F_pi(Q^2) and F_{pi gamma}(Q^2) in the region Q^2 > 5-6 GeV^2. Moreover, in this region the accuracy of this approach improves rather fast with increasing Q^2. For the elastic form factor F_pi(Q^2), we are therefore forced to conclude that large deviations from the local-duality limit in the region Q^2 = 20-50 GeV^2 reported in some recent theoretical studies seem to us unlikely. The data on the eta, eta' to gamma gamma* transition form factors meet pretty well the predictions of a "local-duality model." Interestingly, recent results for the pi to gamma gamma* transition form factor hint at a violation of local duality rising with Q^2; this is at odds with the eta and eta' cases and all our experience from quantum mechanics.

description: We study the dynamics of vortex lines in Supercondutor/Ferromagnet/Superconductor (SFS) heterostructures at microwave frequencies. We have employed swept-frequency, Corbino-disk and resonant, dielectric-resonator techniques to obtain the field and temperature dependence of the vortex-state parameters. We concentrate here on the genuine flux-flow resistivity $ρ_{ff}$, that we access at subcritical currents using a sufficiently high driving frequency. We find that $ρ_{ff}$ does not follow the well-known Bardeen-Stephen model. Instead, it is well described by a full time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau expression at very thin F layer thickness, but changes to a previously unreported field-dependence when the F layer exceeds a few nm.

description: Over the past two decades, every scholarly publisher has migrated at least the mechanical aspects of their journal publishing so that they utilize digital means. The academy was comfortable with that for a while, but publishers are under increasing pressure to adapt further. At the American Astronomical Society (AAS), we think that means bringing our publishing program to the point of being fully digital, by establishing procedures and policies that regard the digital objects of publication primarily. We have always thought about our electronic journals as databases of digital articles, from which we can publish and syndicate articles one at a time, and we must now put flesh on those bones by developing practices that are consistent with the realities of article at a time publication online. As a learned society that holds the long-term rights to the literature, we have actively taken responsibility for the preservation of the digital assets that constitute our journals, and in so doing we have not forsaken the legacy pre-digital assets. All of us who serve as the long-term stewards of scholarship must begin to evolve into fully digital publishers.

description: We study the charge transfer dynamics between a silicon quantum dot and an individual phosphorous donor using the conduction through the quantum dot as a probe for the donor ionization state. We use a silicon n-MOSFET (metal oxide field effect transistor) biased near threshold in the SET regime with two side gates to control both the device conductance and the donor charge. Temperature and magnetic field independent tunneling time is measured. We measure the statistics of the transfer of electrons observed when the ground state D0 of the donor is aligned with the SET states.

description: Orofacial clefts [cleft lip (CL), cleft palate (CP), and cleft lip and palate (CLP)] are the most common orofacial congenital malformations found among live births, accounting for 65% of all head and neck anomalies. Due to conflicting information on the epidemiology of cleft deformities in African populations, this study was conducted to describe the epidemiology and patterns of orofacial clefts in Tanzania. This thesis also identified and described aspects of facial shape that vary most among normal population of children and between different ethnicities. The established baseline data for normal facial shape variation that can serve as phenotypic basis in genetic association studies to identify genes for orofacial clefts. Lastly, we also compared facial shape between noncleft children and children with repaired/unrepaired orofacial cleft in order to identify aspects of facial shape that differ most. In order to describe the epidemiology of orofacial clefts, a hospital-based retrospective descriptive study was conducted to identify all children with the disease attended or treated from 2004 to 2009. Comparison of facial shape in the general population and in individuals with orofacial clefts was carried using three-dimensional imaging system in combination with geometric morphometric analysis techniques. Isolated cleft lip was found to be the most common cleft type, followed by clefts of both the lip and palate, a pattern broadly similar to other series in African countries, and different from the distribution of orofacial clefts in low and middle income countries in other parts of the world. We also found a significant face shape differences within the population of normal Tanzanian children that were localized to specific regions of the face. Some of these facial shape differences manifested in ethnic-specific manner. Facial shape in noncleft children was also found to be significantly different from both children with repaired and unrepaired orofacial clefts of the same sex, age and ethnic group. Facial phenotypes that have been identified both in the general population and in affected individuals in this study might be used in genetic association and linkage analyses to identify risk markers for orofacial clefting.

"Within limitless realms dwells incorruptibility." : an exploration of the figure of Sophia in The Hypostasis of the Archons.
Creators: name: O'Farrell, Aoife
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This dissertation looks at the Sophia narrative in the Gnostic text The Hypostasis of the Archons. The figure of Sophia has long been considered an integral figure in Gnostic cosmology but one who is consistently identified as a fallen entity. I shall argue that the figure of Sophia is not a fallen figure in this tractate but rather conforms to the dual tradition of the entity found in the Valentinian tradition, whereby Wisdom is split into higher and lower forms. This allows for a higher, unblemished manifestation of the figure and a lower incarnation of the aeon that retains the fallen characteristics of the narrative. In this case Eve functions as the lower manifestation of Wisdom and Sophia can be viewed as the higher manifestation of the aeon. My approach to the subject of Sophia in The Hypostasis of the Archons incorporates social scientific criticism and textual analysis. The main body of my argument utilizes the work of Ingvild Gilhus: 1985, Elaine Pagels: 1988, and Deirdre Good: 1987, who concur that the figure of Sophia in The Hypostasis ofthe Archons represents a unique portrayal of the traditional entity and one which can be viewed as an ‘unfallen’ figure. The social scientific segment of this dissertation employs theory developed from cultural anthropology, specifically the work of Bruce Malina:200 1 and Mary Douglas: 1966. This line of reasoning posits that if the Pleroma is analyzed as a community of beings that Sophia adheres to the purity laws of the Pleroma and is thus, in this context not a fallen or ostracized figure. In conducting this study of The Hypostasis of the Archons I hope to highlight to unique nature of the figure of Wisdom in the tractate and suggest that the text shows elements of the dual tradition of Sophia found in Valentinian theology

description: Wojtak, Hansen and Hjorth have recently claimed to confirm general relativity and to rule out the tensor-vector-scalar (TeVeS) gravitational theory based on an analysis of the gravitational redshifts of galaxies in 7800 clusters. But their ubiquitous modeling of the sources of cluster gravitational fields with Navarro-Frenk-White mass profiles is neither empirically justified out to the necessary radii in clusters, nor germane in the case of TeVeS. Using MONDian isothermal sphere models consistently constructed within MOND (equivalent to TeVeS models), we can fit the determined redshifts no worse than does general relativity with dark halos. Wojtak, Hansen and Hjorth's work is further marred by confusion between the primitive mu-function of TeVeS and the MOND interpolation function.

description: The superconductivity discovered in iron-pnictides is intimately related to a nematic ground state, where the C4 rotational symmetry is broken via the structural and magnetic transitions. We here study the nematicity in NaFeAs with the polarization dependent angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. A uniaxial strain was applied on the sample to overcome the twinning effect in the low temperature C2-symmetric state, and obtain a much simpler electronic structure than that of a twinned sample. We found the electronic structure undergoes an orbital-dependent reconstruction in the nematic state, primarily involving the dxy- and dyz-dominated bands. These bands strongly hybridize with each other, inducing a band splitting, while the dxz-dominated bands only exhibit an energy shift without any reconstruction. These findings suggest that the development of orbital-dependent spin polarization is likely the dominant force to drive the nematicity, while the ferro-orbital ordering between dxz and dyz orbitals can only play a minor role here.

description: A state has a plethora of options when it comes to electricity generation. In the case of nuclear power, it is not a simple yes/no or present/absent dichotomy as it is often portrayed in the literature. A state that has existing nuclear capacity can choose to: expand, maintain, or phase out nuclear power. It will implement one of these three policies towards nuclear power for a variety of political, social, and economic reasons; the challenge is to discern the criteria used in reaching these policy outcomes. Using Finland, Canada, and Germany, this project explores most similar cases with differing outcomes during the nuclear renaissance (2000-2015). Each case is illustrative of one of the three possible trajectories for a state already in possession of at least one commercial nuclear power plant. This dissertation sought to better understand why they choose such divergent policies around nuclear power during this period of study. Its findings confirm the literature’s claim that nuclear expansions are most likely to take place within governance models that are centralized, technocratic, and involve limited public engagement. As electricity planning shifts away from centrally planned, technically-informed decisions among experts to a more democratic process, with an increased emphasis on social considerations, large-infrastructure projects like nuclear power plants will become that much more challenging to advance. Taken together with the rising costs of building new reactors, it will greatly limit where new construction will seriously be considered.

description: We analyze numerically ensembles of tight-binding Hamiltonians describing highly-symmetric graphene nanoflakes with weak diagonal disorder induced by random electrostatic potential landscapes. When increasing the disorder strength, statistical distribution of energy levels evolves from Poissonian to Wigner, indicating the transition to quantum chaos. Power laws with the universal exponent map the disorder strength in nanoflakes of different sizes, boundaries, and microscopic disorder types onto a single parameter in additive random-matrix model.

description: This work investigates the viability of using a cost effective, 623 nm light emitting diode (LED) based light source for high-speed schlieren imaging. The pulser circuit used to drive the LED was characterized on the basis of input response, pulse train characteristics, and pulse energies. Relative brightness data was measured with a photodiode and further examined within a schlieren system. Flow images of decaying, cylindrical shocks were obtained with the LED system and benchmarked against a high intensity discharge (HID) lamp. It was found that the LED could be overdriven up to 20 times the rated current while generating down to 100 ns pulses at up to a 1 MHz repetition rate. Moreover, although the LED system produced higher signals and reduced exposure times, similar image detail was observed for each light source. However, the LED exhibited a distinct advantage over the HID lamp in terms of image blur.

description: A preferred candidate for neutrinoless double-β decay, 150Nd, is present in natural neodymium at an abundance level of 5.64%. However, neodymium could be activated by cosmic rays during the period it spends on the Earth's surface. Its activation by protons is therefore of interest when it comes to estimating the possible disturbance effects and increased background during neutrinoless double-β-decay experiments like Sudbury Neutrino Observatory plus liquid scintillator (SNO+). In most cases, we lack experimental data on proton-induced reactions on neodymium. Therefore, a measurement of cross sections has been performed for the formation of 141Pm, 143Pm, 144Pm, 146Pm, 148Pm, 148Pmm, 149Pm, 150Pm, 140Nd, 141Nd, 147Nd, 149Nd, 138Prm, 139Pr, 142Pr, and 139Ce by 10-30 MeV protons. Oxidation-protected metal foil targets of natural isotopic abundance were irradiated by the usual stacked-foil technique on the external proton beam of the isochronous cyclotron U-120M at the Nuclear Physics Institute at Řež near Prague. Special attention was paid to the excitation functions of long-lived radionuclides. The measured data were compared with TENDL-2010 library data (TALYS code).

Cost-Benefit Analysis of Technical Software Documentation

description: Software developers often spend a considerable amount of time and effort on writing or maintaining documentation. Therefore, it is necessary to assess how much the documentation actually costs and what it may pay back in return. In a Systematic Mapping (SM) literature study, we collected a set of 69 papers published from 1971-2011 and discovered that more empirical evidence is needed to support the cost-benefit analysis of software documentation. This thesis is intended to fill this gap. We propose Document Cost and Benefit Analyzer (DCBA), a methodology that can be used to comprehensively analyze the costs and benefits of software documentation in software maintenance. To validate DCBA, we report on a case study in which we applied the DCBA methodology to NovAtel Inc. We propose the Cost-Effectiveness Index (CEI) to assess the cost-effectiveness of software documents and explore the relationship between CEI and six other potential impacting factors. Also, we report on a controlled experiment in which 26 students participated. Finally, we propose an automatic visualization tool named DEVis to aid the document evolution analysis. Our findings include (1) Software documentation delays subjects’ completion of experimental tasks, yet helps improve the code quality and makes it easier for in-experienced maintainers to produce quality code, (2) Maintainers spent 10% of the total task time on reading documents in the experimental context, (3) Programming experience does not impact the benefits or costs of documents that maintainers encounter (4) Document type is a factor impacting the cost-effectiveness and other attributes, including the number of authors, the number of visitors, the number of revisions and document size, are not found significantly impacting the cost-effectiveness of documents, (5) Several document visit patterns exist, including Group-sharing, Publication and One-day-only patterns.

description: Superconductors with an odd number of bands crossing the Fermi energy have topologically protected Andreev states at interfaces, including Majorana states in one dimensional geometries. Superconductivity, a low number of 1D channels, large spin orbit coupling, and a sizeable Zeeman energy, are present in lead nanowires produced by nanoindentation of a Pb tip on a Pb substrate, in magnetic fields higher than the Pb bulk critical field. A number of such devices have been analyzed. In some of them, the dependence of the critical current on magnetic field, and the Multiple Andreev Reflections observed at finite voltages, are compatible with the existence of topological superconductivity.

description: The design of reinforced masonry walls for in-plane shear according to the current Canadian masonry standard CSA S304.1 is quite conservative. So an extensive experimental program was designed to observe the quasi-static performance of partially grouted reinforced masonry walls with variable parameters. The experimental program described in this dissertation is a portion of the larger experimental program and the focus here is on the anchorage conditions of the bond beam reinforcement, changes in boundary conditions and changes in the loading protocol for walls that have the same vertical reinforcement and grouting. The predominant mode of failure was diagonal shear for all walls. The crack pattern, stiffness reduction, strength, ductility and energy absorption are the properties that are discussed in the thesis. Some aspects of behaviour of the walls such as crack pattern, stiffness degradation, and energy dissipation are affected by the change in parameters.

description: In general, little is known about parents’ experiences of the entire assessment process that led to their child’s diagnosis of ADHD. The purpose of this study was to investigate parents’ experiences of the assessment process, conducted by a psychologist in private practice, that resulted in their child’s diagnosis of ADHD. Fifteen parents participated in semi-structured interviews that were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The five themes identified from the interviews of this study were: (a) Hoops and barriers (i.e., the journey that led parents to their son’s assessment), (b) What does this tell me about my son? (i.e., parents’ experiences with the communication of the diagnosis), (c) We’re not coming for labels. We’re not coming for drugs. We’re coming for roadmaps. (i.e., the need for support to manage their child’s difficulties), (d) It’s such a big journey (i.e., important aspects pervasive throughout the assessment, including the relationship with the psychologist and the emotional journey parents experienced), and (e) Rich insights: I want parents to know… (i.e., parent wisdom gained from the assessment that they can share with other parents new to the process). The results of the study emphasized the importance of the working alliance between psychologists and parents, along with the need for follow-up support, to promote quality services that address the parents’ and child’s needs. As an extension to this study, a parent intake form was developed to translate the knowledge generated from the parent interviews in a way that can be used in clinical practice. This form was developed in collaboration with parents to ensure that it addressed topics that were meaningful for them, as well as in collaboration with psychologists working in private practice who conduct assessments for ADHD to promote its feasibility and use in clinical practice. The implications and recommendations for practice and future research, based on the findings from this study, are discussed.

description: We show that the branes of ten-dimensional IIA/IIB string theory must satisfy, upon toroidal compactification, specific wrapping rules in order to reproduce the number of supersymmetric branes that follows from a supergravity analysis. The realization of these wrapping rules suggests that IIA/IIB string theory contains a whole class of generalized Kaluza-Klein monopoles.

description: Contemporary museums are active places of edutainment where storytelling is as valuable as artefacts. Museums strive to create exciting and memorable experiences for visitors, including technophiles. This helps maintaining and attracting visitors, and therefore, financially sustains these cultural institutions. To achieve their goals, museums are increasingly exploring and adopting information and communication technologies to enhance visiting experience. Most recently, mobile augmented reality (AR) technology has found its way into museums and historic sites premises. As a medium for enriching human senses and mixing real and virtual worlds, mobile AR offers state-of-art opportunities to spatially and conceptually orient visitors. However, the growing number of museum mobile AR projects outweighs their systematic evaluations. Since designing and developing mobile AR projects consumes considerable time and resources, empirical investigation of such projects is a necessity. Although the literature recognizes this necessity, there is still a lack of systematic evaluation studies. Furthermore, among the few studies, most lack the validity that comes with employing true experiments with control and randomization. As a result, the literature lacks empirical evidence to guide future projects in the field. This research empirically investigates the application of mobile AR for enhancing visits to museums and historic sites. It focuses on the effectiveness of mobile AR for enhancing navigation and increasing informal learning and enjoyment in outdoor museums. I conducted the research investigations in two studies. For each study, I designed, co-developed, and evaluated a mobile AR prototype for use in Heritage Park, an outdoor living history museum in Calgary, Canada. The summative evaluation of each study, empirically and rigorously evaluated the objectives of the prototypes in a true experiment. Results from the experiments show that mobile AR experiences can effectively enhance museums and historic sites visiting experience by making outdoor navigation more informed and efficient as well as increasing some categories of informal learning, enjoyment, and interest. The results also show that the positive impacts of a mobile AR experience can increase intensification and gift purchases in museum gift shops. Such impact might contribute to these cultural institutions financially, and offset the costs of developing the mobile AR content.

description: A major issue petroleum companies have with unconventional resource plays, is identifying prospective areas early in exploration stage. Early land captures of contiguous blocks at reasonable entry, exploration and appraisal costs are critical to the economic success of the program. The Duvernay shale play in Western Canada is an excellent example of an emerging play. During exploration efforts, the Kaybob area was identified as highly prospective. This study takes advantage of this emerging play to illustrate the use of logs, calibrated with core to identify and characterize prospective zones in the Duvernay Shale. Well log facies and petrophysical parameters based on 3-D static models were used to determine the production potential within the Kaybob area and the associated uncertainty. The model result and the first three months normalized production comparison show positive trends. The result also indicates that there are multiple factors that contribute to a good producing well.

Examining the effect of partisanship on the 2005 and 2009 BC-STV referenda

description: In the past decade, British Columbians were twice given the option of replacing the province’s first-past-the-post method of electing Members of the Legislative Assembly with the single-transferable vote system designed by the Citizens’ Assembly. The central inquiry of this paper is: Did partisanship affect British Columbians’ intentions to vote for or against the 2005 and 2009 BC-STy referenda? Employing the 2005 and 2009 B.C. Referendum Studies, this paper investigates whether partisanship, combined knowledge about the Citizens’ Assembly and the BC STV proposal itself, and/or predisposition towards electoral system reform influenced individuals’ referendum vote intentions. This paper also seeks to identify the specific mechanisms via which party interests came to be, and subsequently operated, as a key factor in partisans’ decision-making processes. Regression analysis reveals that in both 2005 and 2009, individuals who planned to vote for different parties in the general election exhibited noticeably different probabilities of supporting BC-STy. On average, supporters of the Green Party of B.C. were the most likely to vote in favour of BC-STy, followed by supporters the New Democratic Party ofBC voters and then supporters of the B.C. Liberal Party. Partisanship, knowledge and predisposition all played a significant role in bringing about these different vote intentions. Partisanship affected voters increasingly over time via two processes. When party leader cues were given, partisans responded accordingly. Absent such cues, however, voters were nevertheless able to determine on their own, likely through mental calculation, how best to vote given their party preferences. Both the progression of the referendum campaigns and increased knowledge helped individuals become more accurate and more confident at matching their partisan interests to their vote intention. Predisposition affected voters steadily over time, though different levels of predisposition had a greater effect on BC-STy vote intentions in the two referendum years.

description: There is mounting evidence that a significant fraction of Black Holes (BHs) today live in late-type galaxies, including bulge-less galaxies and those hosting pseudobulges, and are significantly undermassive with respect to the scaling relations followed by their counterpart BHs in classical bulges of similar stellar (or even bulge) mass. Here we discuss the predictions of two state-of-the-art hierarchical galaxy formation models in which BHs grow via mergers and, in one, also via disk instability. Our aim is to understand if the wealth of new data on local BH demography is consistent with standard models. We follow the merger trees of representative subsamples of BHs and compute the fractional contributions of different processes to the final BH mass. We show that the model in which BHs always closely follow the growth of their host bulges, also during late disk instabilities (i.e., bars), produces too narrow a distribution of BHs at fixed stellar mass to account for the numerous low-mass BHs now detected in later-type galaxies. Models with a looser connection between BH growth and bar instability instead predict the existence of a larger number of undermassive BHs, in better agreement with the observations. The scatter in the updated local BH-bulge mass relation (with no restriction on galaxy type) appears to be quite large when including later-type systems, but it can still be managed to be reproduced within current hierarchical models. However, the fuelling of BHs during the late bar-instability mode needs to be better quantified/improved to properly fit the data. We conclude discussing how the possibly large number of BHs in later type galaxies demands for an in-depth revision of the local BH mass function and its modelling.

description: Newer model vehicles are often equipped with or capable of supporting hands-free systems that use voice-recognition technology. Although voice-recognition technology is viewed favourably among the public, it is not clear whether these systems should be considered safe alternatives to traditional handheld phones and visual-manual integrated systems. To answer this question, an exhaustive search was conducted to capture all experimental studies involving secondary tasks with voice-recognition systems where driving performance was measured. Meta-analyses for the performance measures of detection, reaction time, lateral control and longitudinal control were conducted with 43 studies meeting inclusion criteria. Some driving performance benefits were observed relative to visual-manual systems, but there were also considerable impairments relative to baseline driving. The results of the study indicate that voice-recognition systems, despite minimizing eyes-off-road time, have a distraction cost. Implications for driver education, voice-recognition system design and future research are also discussed.
