description: (abridged) Aims. To reconstruct the spectral shape of the quasar ionizing radiation in the extreme-UV range (1Ryd <= E < 10Ryd) from the analysis of narrow absorption lines (NAL) of the associated systems. Methods. Computational technique for inverse spectroscopic problems - Monte Carlo Inversion augmented by procedure of the spectral shape recovering and modified to account for the incomplete coverage of the light source. Results. The ionizing spectra responsible for the ionization structure of the NAL systems require an intensity depression at E > 4Ryd which is attributed to the HeII Lyman continuum opacity (tau^HeII_c ~ 1). A most likely source of this opacity is a quasar accretion disk wind. The corresponding column density of HI in the wind is estimated as a few times 10^16 cm^-2. This amount of neutral hydrogen should cause a weak continuum depression at lamb <= 912A (rest-frame), and a broad and shallow absorption in HI Ly-alpha. If metallicity of the wind is high enough, other resonance lines of OVI, NeVI-NeVIII, etc. are expected. In the analyzed QSO spectra we do observe broad (stretching over 1000s km/s) and shallow (tau << 1) absorption troughs of HI Ly-alpha and OVI 1031,1037A...

Symposium on Anti-colonial Mine Reclamation, Restoration and Land Guardianship in Northern Canada and Australia
Creators: Piper, Elizabeth F.L.
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

SSHRC CG awarded 2023: Mine legacies are scattered across Canadian and Australian landscapes in the form of million-to-billion dollar public liabilities, land contamination and degradation, social disruption, and alienation of Indigenous people from their traditional lands. In the northern territories of what is now known as Canada and Australia, communities are already grappling with the cumulative impacts of both abandoned and contemporary mines. Pressure to develop new projects is increasing without addressing ongoing social and ecological harm. Ecological restoration is often characterized as a technical, scientific practice and marginalizes the social and political dimensions. Our team will assert how restoration is inextricably intertwined with issues of social and environmental justice through a two-hour symposium consisting of six presentations from representatives of Indigenous Nations, restoration practitioners and graduate students on Indigenous-led, anti-colonial mine reclamation. The symposium will showcase various strategies that northern Canadian and Australian Indigenous Nations are using to confront the colonial structures of mineral development and create opportunities for cultural resurgence through restoration. In addition to our team's symposium, all participants will attend presentations and workshops and meet with Indigenous Land Guardian programs based in Darwin to exchange Land Guardian stories and strategies as they relate to mining, land restoration and cultural resurgence. These opportunities will provide invaluable training and networking opportunities for young researchers, scientists and Indigenous Guardians working in northern communities.

description: A multi-wavelength photometric analysis was performed in order to study the sub-structure of a sunspot light bridge in the photosphere and the chromosphere. Active region NOAA 8350 was observed on 1998 October 8. The data consist of a 100 min time series of 2D spectral scans of the lines FeI 5576, H-alpha 6563, FeI 6302.5, and continuum images at 5571. We recorded line-of-sight magnetograms in 6302.5. The observations were taken at the Dunn Solar Telescope at U. S. National Solar Observatory, Sacramento Peak. We find evidence for plasma ejection from a light bridge followed by Ellerman bombs. Magnetograms of the same region reveal opposite polarity in light-bridge with respect to the umbra. These facts support the notion that low altitude magnetic reconnection can result in the magnetic cancellation as observed in the photosphere.

Aesthetic appreciation of nature's choreography
Creators: Welchman, Jennifer
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

SSHRC IDG awarded 2023: The objective of this project is to develop an enriched model for aesthetic assessment of natural sites that will fill serious gaps in the assessments produced by models currently used in Canada and North America by conservation, landscape, and development planners, which prioritize visual over all other perceptual qualities of nature. The solution is to give up the traditional models which treat nature as a collection of scenic views or sculptures, in favor of treating nature as a potent choreographer staging multilayered dynamic performances by animate and inanimate beings in particular places and spaces. The end result should be more nuanced and inclusive decision­making by conservation authorities.
An environment-mediated quantum deleter

description: Environment-induced decoherence presents a great challenge to realizing a quantum computer. We point out the somewhat surprising fact that decoherence can be useful, indeed necessary, for practical quantum computation, in particular, for the effective erasure of quantum memory in order to initialize the state of the quantum computer. The essential point behind the deleter is that the environment, by means of a dissipative interaction, furnishes a contractive map towards a pure state. We present a specific example of an amplitude damping channel provided by a two-level system's interaction with its environment in the weak Born-Markov approximation. This is contrasted with a purely dephasing, non-dissipative channel provided by a two-level system's interaction with its environment by means of a quantum nondemolition interaction. We point out that currently used state preparation techniques, for example using optical pumping, essentially perform as quantum deleters.

description: Geographical clusters in health expenditures are well documented and accounting for spatial interactions may
contribute to properly identify the factors affecting the use of health services the most. As for hospital care,
spillovers may derive from strategic behaviour of hospitals and from patients’ preferences that may induce
mobility across jurisdictions, as well as from geographically-concentrated risk factors, knowledge transfer and interactions between different layers of care. Our paper focuses on a largely overlooked potential source of
spillovers in hospital expenditure: the heterogeneity of primary care providers’ behaviour. To do so, we
analyse expenditures associated to avoidable hospitalisations separately from expenditures for highly complex
treatments, as the former are most likely affected by General Practitioners, while the latter are not. We use
administrative data for Italy’s Region Emilia Romagna between 2007 and 2010. Since neighbouring districts
may belong to different Local Health Authorities (LHAs), we employ a spatial contiguity matrix that allows to
investigate the effects of geographical and institutional proximity and use it to estimate Spatial Autoregressive
and Spatial Durbin Models.

description: The deep neural network (DNN) based speech enhancement approaches have achieved promising performance. However, the number of parameters involved in these methods is usually enormous for the real applications of speech enhancement on the device with the limited resources. This seriously restricts the applications. To deal with this issue, model compression techniques are being widely studied. In this paper, we propose a model compression method based on matrix product operators (MPO) to substantially reduce the number of parameters in DNN models for speech enhancement. In this method, the weight matrices in the linear transformations of neural network model are replaced by the MPO decomposition format before training. In experiment, this process is applied to the causal neural network models, such as the feedforward multilayer perceptron (MLP) and long short-term memory (LSTM) models. Both MLP and LSTM models with/without compression are then utilized to estimate the ideal ratio mask for monaural speech enhancement. The experimental results show that our proposed MPO-based method outperforms the widely-used pruning method for speech enhancement under various compression rates, and further improvement can be achieved with respect to low compression rates. Our proposal provides an effective model compression method for speech enhancement, especially in cloud-free application.

description: We study double gamma ($γγ$) decay nuclear matrix elements (NMEs) for a wide range of nuclei from titanium to xenon, and explore their relation to neutrinoless double-beta ($0νββ$) NMEs. To favor the comparison, we focus on double-magnetic dipole transitions in the final $ββ$ nuclei, in particular the $γγ$ decay of the double isobaric analog of the initial $ββ$ state into the ground state. For the decay with equal-energy photons, our large-scale nuclear shell model results show a good linear correlation between the $γγ$ and $0νββ$ NMEs. Our analysis reveals that the correlation holds for $γγ$ transitions driven by the spin or orbital angular momentum due to the dominance of zero-coupled nucleon pairs, a feature common to $0νββ$ decay. Our shell-model findings point out the potential of future $γγ$ decay measurements to constrain $0νββ$ NMEs, which are key to answer fundamental physics questions based on $0νββ$ experiments.

GMM estimation of fiscal rules: Monte Carlo experiments and

description: This paper focuses on the estimation of fiscal response functions for advanced economies and on the performance of alternative specifications of the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator for the rule’s parameters.
We first estimate the parameters on simulated data through Monte Carlo experiments; we then run an empirical test on data for the European Monetary Union (EMU). We estimate both the Cyclicallyadjusted primary balance (CAPB) and the Primary balance (PB) models, and check the robustness of the estimates to different specifications of the GMM estimator and to alternative settings of the parameters. We also compare alternative instrument reduction strategies in a context where several endogenous variables enter the model. We find that the system GMM estimator is the best-performing in this framework and the high instrument count comes out not to be problematic. We also make the algebraic links between the parameters in the CAPB and in the PB models explicit, suggesting an effective strategy to estimate the discretionary fiscal response from the coefficients of the PB model. In the empirical application on a dataset for EMU Countries, we find that the evidence of a-cyclicality of discretionary policies is robust to all the specifications of the GMM estimator.

description: The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) power spectrum derived from the first year WMAP data demonstrates an intriguing lack of power at large scales that cannot be accounted for within the framework of the standard cosmological model. We explore the possibility that this anomaly could be explained by waiving the implicit assumption of a simply connected topology, rather than modifying the physics of the standard model. In particular, we assume that the Universe is slightly closed and its spatial section can be described by one of the simplest spherical multi-connected manifolds (the quaternionic, the octahedral, the truncated cube and the Poincare space). We discuss the implications for the CMB in each case.

description: In this work, we compare the detection accuracy and speed of several state-of-the-art models for the task of detecting oil and gas fracking wells and small cars in commercial electro-optical satellite imagery. Several models are studied from the single-stage, two-stage, and multi-stage object detection families of techniques. For the detection of fracking well pads (50m - 250m), we find single-stage detectors provide superior prediction speed while also matching detection performance of their two and multi-stage counterparts. However, for detecting small cars, two-stage and multi-stage models provide substantially higher accuracies at the cost of some speed. We also measure timing results of the sliding window object detection algorithm to provide a baseline for comparison. Some of these models have been incorporated into the Lockheed Martin Globally-Scalable Automated Target Recognition (GATR) framework.

description: Background and aims : We have previously uncovered that higher prefrontally modulated vagal activation, a proxy for better emotional adaptation, predicts the occurrence of the thermal grill illusion of pain (TGI), standing for pain induced by a mixture of non-noxious cold and warm stimulation. In the present study we aimed to investigate the magnitude of vagal reactivity to thermal grill stimuli in the responders and non-responders to the thermal grill.

Methods: Our sample included 31 healthy volunteers. All participants were stimulated during one minute with the temperatures of 15°C and 41°C set at the interlaced cold and warm bars of the water-bath driven thermal grill. This stimulation was repeated three times. Blood pressure and heart rate were recorded concomitantly. Numerical rating scales (NRS; 0–100) were used to quantify subjective pain intensity and pain unpleasantness perceptions.

Results: The linear mixed model analyses mainly revealed that blood pressure was significantly lower [F(12.53), p < .001] over time [F(6.35), p < .005] in the group of the responders (N=13) than in the non-responders (N=18) to thermal grill stimulation. Baroreflex and vagal reactivity values in contrast were higher in responders than in non-responders, without however reaching significance levels.

Conclusions: The present findings first show that, in accordance with our prediction, those who had revealed higher vagal activation in the psychophysiological baseline measurement, perceived the TGI during the subsequent thermal grill stimulation phases. Second and as compared to non-responders, vagal reactivity was increased in the responders all over the course of the experiment.

description: Leveraging real-time data to detect disasters such as wildfires, extreme weather, earthquakes, tsunamis, human health emergencies, or global diseases is an important opportunity. However, much of this data is generated in the field and the volumes involved mean that it is impractical for transmission back to a central data-centre for processing. Instead, edge devices are required to generate insights from sensor data streaming in, but an important question given the severe performance and power constraints that these must operate under is that of the most suitable CPU architecture. One class of device that we believe has a significant role to play here is that of micro-cores, which combine many simple low-power cores in a single chip. However, there are many to choose from, and an important question is which is most suited to what situation. This paper presents the Eithne framework, designed to simplify benchmarking of micro-core architectures. Three benchmarks, LINPACK, DFT and FFT, have been implemented atop of this framework and we use these to explore the key characteristics and concerns of common micro-core designs within the context of operating on the edge for disaster detection. The result of this work is an extensible framework that the community can use help develop and test these devices in the future.

BLOCKCHAIN-BASED DYNAMIC CONSENT MODEL TO SUPPORT GENOMIC DATA SHARING IN CLINICAL INFORMATICS

Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited
Year: 2019

description: The advent of fast, effective genome sequencing technologies has caused a step change in the diagnosis of rare genetic diseases, as their causes can now be accurately determined by variants in the patient’s genome. These variants, called pathogenic, are very rare and found in only a small percentage of the population. The molecular diagnosis of a rare disease involves comparing a patient’s genetic variant data with the existing variants of others with similar diseases. Due to privacy and security concerns, these variants are still generally collected and stored in silos by local laboratories making it challenging to share this data on a large scale. This project presents a novel blockchain-based dynamic consent model that we are developing to determine the efficacy of blockchain technology in supporting genomic data sharing. Implemented on the Ethereum test blockchain, the model operates as a secure middleware system between patients, clinicians and laboratories. The model’s web-based portal allows patients to store and update their consent and track their data. Likewise, clinicians can review and securely access patient data upon patient consent. All data transitions and sharing between participants are recorded in a tamper-proof manner, enabling data auditing at any future time.
Motivic zeta functions of motives

description: Let K be a field of characteristic 0 and A be a rigid tensor K-linear category. Let M be a finite-dimensional object of A in the sense of Kimura-O'Sullivan. We prove that the "motivic" zeta function of M with coefficients in K\_0(A) has a functional equation. When A is the category of Chow motives over a field, we thus recover and generalise previous work of Franziska Heinloth, who considered the case where M is the motive of an abelian variety. We also get a functional equation for the zeta function of any motive modulo homological equivalence over a finite field. Our functional equation involves the "determinant" of M, an invertible object of A: this is the main difference with Heinoth's equation. In her case, the determinant turns out to be 1.

description: The ideology of home—essentially the notion that "a woman's place is in the home"— tends to shape the expectations and assumptions of both men and women regarding the interests and abilities of women on the water. In "At Home Afloat: Gender and Domesticity in Northwest Coast Marine Travel Accounts," I analyze those expectations and their effects in a regional context. Reading accounts by female boat tourists between 1861 and 1990, I question the ways that gender influences the roles women play at sea, the spaces they occupy on boats, and the language they use to construct their experiences, their surroundings, and their contact with native peoples. In this dissertation I show women—traditionally forbidden in marine environments —participating in Northwest Coast steam tourism from its initiation, and influencing steamship company promotional language. I trace a history of women who enter the local recreational boating community and alter it with their home-making skills and their demand for "houseboats," and I map how domestic ideology can divide the built space of the boat into gender-specific territories. Women who labor in marine occupations (fishers, towboaters) cope with the limitations of a "masculine" environment. My work shows how female tourists, who typically cruise as "mates" with their captains/husbands, cope with these same limitations while bearing the added responsibility of answering to the patriarchal head of household; as a result, women who gain access to boats through their domestic abilities can be "ghettoized" in the galley. This project hypothesizes that "feminine discourse" (shaped by the Victorian cult of the home), together with the limitations of steamship transportation, led nineteenth-century female boat travellers to portray native women as "counterfeit ladies" and to seek homescapes in the mixed land/seascape. After the turn of the century-with the rise of the myth of the disappearing Indian, and the growing popularity of small-boat cruising—female boat tourists use feminine discourse to question their own position as outsider in the native world. Finally, I show that although literary works rely on seascape metaphors to symbolize woman's escape from the "social moorings" of gender expectations, these travellers tend to depict themselves in traditional domestic roles and find the waterscape largely "indescribable." Their accounts focus on "enfolding" nature into the ship's household, and emphasize female connections to the land.

description: Background
Due to the heterogeneous nature of chronic pain, it’s necessary to identify patient subgroups in order to develop different treatment strategies. The aim of this study is to identify different patient groups of an inpatient multimodal pain center.

Method
The study was carried out identifying socio-demographic parameters, pain characteristics and psychological status of 445 patients (18-65 years), who should usually be available for the labour market, by using the German Pain Questionnaire before their inpatient multimodal pain treatment. The cluster-building variables (age, HADS-anxiety, HADS-depression, quality of life (SF12) and general well-being (FW7) were identified with the k-means procedure of Almo 15. The cluster-analysis was calculated with SPSS 19.

Results
We identified 3 clusters with proportions of 36%,28%,36%: “Middle-aged, less employed, distressed”: patients (52±7 years) with high psychological stress, low quality of life and poor well-being. 30% of them pensioners and 45% employed. “Young, employed, distressed”: Patients (42±11 years) with high psychological stress, low quality of life and poor well-being. 11% of them pensioners and 66% employed. “Middle aged, adaptive copers”: Patients (50±10 years) with low psychological stress, normal quality of life and general well-being. 27% of them pensioners and 60% employed.

Conclusions
The results demonstrate that different main aims of treatment like (re)integration into employment or improvement of coping strategies, could be a result of patients’ socio-economic environment. Age and employment status appear to represent important variables in the subset of patients suffering from severe chronic pain. Further studies could clarify whether these subgroups need different treatment strategies or intensities.

description: The decay t -> c V (V=γ, Z, g) process in the mirror twin Higgs models with the colorless top partners are studied in this paper. We found that the branching ratios of these decays can in some parameter spaces alter the standard model expectations greatly and may be detectable according to the currently precision electroweak measurements. Thus, the constraints on the model parameters may be obtained from the branching fraction of the decay processes, which may serve as a robust detection to this new physics model.

description: We present a deep (50 hours exposed) image of the nearby spiral galaxy M 63 (NGC 5055), taken with a 0.14-m aperture telescope. The galaxy halo exhibits the known very faint system of stellar streams extending across 110 kpc. We found 5 very low-surface-brightness dwarf galaxies around M 63. Assuming they are satellites of M 63, their median parameters are: absolute $B$-magnitude -8.8 mag, linear diameter 1.3 kpc, surface brightness $\sim$ 27.8 mag/sq. arcsec and linear projected separation 93 kpc. Based on four brighter satellites with measured radial velocities, we derived a low orbital mass estimate of M 63 to be (5.1$\pm$1.8) 10$^{11} M_{\odot}$ on a scale of $\sim$216 kpc. The specific property of M 63 is its declining rotation curve. Taking into account the declining rotation curves of the M 63 and three nearby massive galaxies NGC 2683, NGC 2903, NGC 3521, we recognize their low mean orbital mass-to-K-band luminosity ratio, (4.8$\pm$1.1) $M_{\odot}/L_{\odot}$, that is only $\sim$1/6 of the corresponding ratio for the Milky Way and M 31.

description: In this paper, we construct a new class of charged, rotating solutions of $% (n+1)$-dimensional Einstein-Born-Infeld-dilaton gravity with Liouville-type potentials and investigate their properties. These solutions are neither asymptotically flat nor (anti)-de Sitter. We find that these solutions can represent black brane, with inner and outer event horizons, an extreme black brane or a naked singularity provided the parameters of the solutions are chosen suitably. We also compute temperature, entropy, charge, electric potential, mass and angular momentum of the black brane solutions, and show that these quantities satisfy the first law of thermodynamics. We find that the conserved quantities are independent of the Born-Infeld parameter $β$, while they depend on the dilaton coupling constant $α$. We also find the total mass of the black brane with infinite boundary as a function of the entropy, the angular momenta and the charge and perform a stability analysis by computing the heat capacity in the canonical ensemble. We find that the system is thermally stable for $α\leq 1$ independent of the values of the charge and Born-Infeld parameters, while for $α> 1$ the system has an unstable phase. In the latter case, the solutions are stable provided $α\leq α_{\max}$ and $β\geq β_{\min}$, where $% α_{\max}$ and $β_{\min}$ depend on the charge and the dimensionality of the spacetime. That is the solutions are unstable for highly nonlinear electromagnetic field or when the dilaton coupling constant is large.

Intersectionality in action partnership: Co-learning for inclusive community outcomes
Creators: Dorow, Sara
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2021

SSHRC PDG awarded 2024: Intersectionality captures how inequality, privilege, and marginalization are formed at the confluence of gender, racialized status, class, sexuality, ability, and other social dimensions. Academics, policymakers, and the community sector have increasingly recognized the conceptual power of intersectionality. However, they continue to grapple with putting it into practice toward more inclusive, context specific, and actionable research. The Intersectionality in Action Partnership (IAP) addresses this gap by bringing together community organizations and academic researchers to explore the strengths and challenges of integrating intersectionality into community-based participatory research (CBPR). challenges of integrating intersectionality into community-based participatory research (CBPR).

description: Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a widely-used imaging modality for medical research and clinical diagnosis. Here we demonstrate, through detailed experiments and simulations, an exploration of the benefits of exploiting the quantum entanglement of linear polarisation between the two positron annihilation photons utilised in PET. A new simulation, which includes the predicted influence of quantum entanglement on the interaction of MeV-scale photons with matter, is validated by comparison with experimental data from a cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) PET demonstrator apparatus. In addition, a modified setup enabled the first experimental constraint on entanglement loss for photons in the MeV regime. Quantum-entangled PET offers new methodologies to address key challenges in next generation imaging. As an indication of the potential benefits, we present a simple method to quantify and remove in-patient scatter and random backgrounds using only the quantum entanglement information in the PET events.

The relationship of self-efficacy with depression, pain, and health status in the arthritis self-management program
Creators: name: McGowan, Patrick Thomas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Over the past decade results from a series of research studies have contributed to the development and evaluation of the Arthritis Self-Management Program (ASMP), a volunteer-led patient education program for persons with arthritis. To date, these studies have primarily focussed on program effectiveness, process, implementation, and dissemination. In these studies self-efficacy was identified as an important construct contributing to the program's effectiveness, however, the exact relationship between self-efficacy and health outcomes has not been determined. In this dissertation research I investigate the evidence of a causal relationship between self-efficacy and three program outcomes (a decrease in depression, less pain, and a higher self-rating of overall health status), and attempt to determine the nature of that relationship. The research methodology involved the use of structural equation modeling (SEM) with two longitudinal samples, one (n=122) of 1991 ASMP participants in British Columbia, the other (n=189) of 1992 ASMP participants in Ontario. In the analysis self-efficacy was paired separately with depression, pain and perceived health status. The results of the SEM failed to confirm a dominant causal relationship from self-efficacy to depression, or to pain. This may indicate that these variables have a reciprocal or "spiral" relationship or that both sets of variables may be caused by factors not considered in the analysis. The results of the SEM between self-efficacy and perceived health status did, however, show that higher self-rated health status leads to higher self-efficacy at a later time. The data did not show statistical significance for other causal patterns among these variables. The findings suggest that self-efficacy may play a moderator role in the complex relationship involving individuals with arthritis, their behaviors, and health outcomes. As well, the findings have implications for health promotion planning and research in that they reinforce the complex interplay of psychological and behavioral variables (probably influenced by social variables) in programs which attempt to give individuals greater control over their health. The efficacy and effectiveness of the ASMP has been established in previous studies. This study in no way calls these into question. It does, however, suggest that the mechanism by which these effective outcomes are achieved warrants further investigation.

Religion and War in Ukraine
Creators: Coleman, Heather J.
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

SSHRC CG awarded 2024: This project takes stock of the profound impact of war on religious life in Ukraine since the invasion and launches an international conversation about the role the range of Ukrainian religious groups—Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, and Muslim—can play in social reconciliation after the war. It involves two key components. The first is an event: an interdisciplinary, international, and hybrid conference entitled "Religion and War in Ukraine: The Political, the Public, and the Possible". Revised conference presentations will be published as a special double issue of Canadian Slavonic Papers/Revue canadienne des slavistes. The second component is an outreach project: the hosting of the "Destroyed Temples of Ukraine" photographic exhibition at the University of Alberta, together with the publication of interviews with project participants on the Forum for Ukrainian Studies blog. The goal of the project is to mobilize and disseminate knowledge about religion in the Russian-Ukrainian War, to set the agenda for further research in this emerging field, and to develop new research partnerships to develop that research.
