Around the corner : the life and death of Grandview's corner grocery stores
Creators: name: Shackles, Kevin R.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The corner grocery store stands as a venerable urban landmark in cities across North America yet the history of these businesses is often absent from the stories of our cities. The neighbourhood of Grandview in Vancouver, Canada’s east side was, at varying points in time, the site of many corner grocery stores. While some research has been conducted on Grandview’s main street (Commercial Drive), a thorough investigation into the corner grocery stores of “back-street” Grandview is needed. This paper attempts to map out the neighbourhood’s old corner grocery stores and seeks to reveal the multiple layers of history that lie beneath each building. To do so, the paper discusses the changing pattern of grocery retailing in Vancouver from small independent corner stores to large ‘modern’ supermarkets to argue that the demise of the corner grocery is a result of these shifting consumer patterns. By investigating the history of these often-neglected businesses, this paper argues that we can begin to see the changing shifts in demographics that characterize Grandview today.

description: The population of international students enrolled in Canadian universities has risen substantially. Understanding the food challenges faced by foreign students becomes important in terms of gaining insights on the food security of student populations, and is an essential part of overall university experience. With a focus on newcomers, this project is part of the UBC Food System Project (UBCFSP), which is a collaboration of multiple stakeholders, including the Faculty of Land and Food Systems and the UBC Sustainability Office, tackling food insecurity on campus and striving toward campus-wide food sustainability for the long run. The Food Preparedness Guide aims to deliver information on finding affordable, healthy and culturally appropriate food options both on campus and in the Vancouver food system for incoming UBC international students. A focus group discussion was conducted with five international student participants who were recruited by the community partner through the Global Lounge. Findings demonstrate that many international students have experienced food insecurity during their first year on campus. General dissatisfaction was expressed by participants in terms of their experience with food on campus. Despite their interests in cultural food, budget and affordability was shown to be the most important determinant of food choices students make both on and off campus. This heavily shaped the content of the food preparedness guide. The content of the guide was built based on feedback received during the focus group. The guide’s aim was to deliver information on: affordable and healthy food options, food terminology, local food resources and cultural food, as a means to alleviate new-coming students’ stress with food shopping, preparation and consumption.

Road design optimization with a surrogate function
Creators: name: Pushak, Yasha
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Planning new highways is a complex process requiring consideration of several non-trivial cost factors. An initial path is first refined by adjusting its vertical alignment to reduce earthwork cutting, filing, and hauling costs. This optimization problem is then used as a sub-problem that needs to be repeatedly solved with different horizontal alignments, to find an optimal path. The complete optimization process requires significant computation time to solve real-world problems. A multi objective surrogate function, which approximates the earthwork and paving costs and can be quickly evaluated, can be used to reduce the running time of the full optimization algorithm. This thesis builds upon an existing surrogate function, using a \Mass Haul" to approximate the earthwork hauling costs. Other constraints made to simplify the former surrogate are relaxed to improve the quality of the solutions returned by the surrogate. Numerical results compare solutions returned by the two versions of the surrogate and investigate the Pareto front between the earthwork and paving costs.

Publisher: name: SMN - The ScienceMedia Network

Chemistry

description: Bile salt (BS) and proteose peptone (PP) are important biomacromolecules being produced inside the human body. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of biofield treatment on physicochemical properties of BS and PP. The study was performed in two groups (control and treated). The control group remained as untreated, and biofield treatment was given to treated group. The control and treated BS and PP samples were characterized by particle size analyzer (PSA), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), x-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). PSA results showed increase in particle size (d50 and d99) of both treated BS and PP as compared to control. Surface area analysis showed minimal decrease by 1.59%, in surface area of treated BS as compared to control. However, the treated PP showed increase (8%) in surface area as compared to control. DSC characterization showed increase in melting temperature of treated BS as compared to control. Whereas, DSC thermogram of treated PP showed decrease in melting temperature with respect to control. Moreover, the DSC of control and treated PP showed presence of exothermic peaks which were possibly due to protein aggregation. The treated PP showed higher exothermic transition temperature as compared to control. XRD analysis revealed slight reduction in crystalline nature of BS as compared to control. On the other hand, XRD data of control and treated PP showed an amorphous nature. TGA analysis of treated BS showed maximum thermal decomposition temperature at 22°C which was higher as compared to control sample (106°C). This could be due to biofield treatment which may enhance the thermal stability of treated BS with respect to control. However, the TGA thermogram of treated PP showed decrease in maximum thermal stability as compared to control. The overall results showed that biofield treatment has significantly altered the physical and thermal properties of BS and PP.

description: Abstract: Palm wine, a traditional fermented beverage vital to West and Central Africa’s socio-cultural fabric, faces challenges in quality and safety due to spontaneous fermentation. This study aimed to develop standardized starter cultures by isolating and characterizing dominant fermentative microorganisms from Nigerian Elaeis guineensis (oil palm) and Raphia hookeri (raphia palm) sap. Microbial dynamics were monitored over 36 hours, revealing high initial aerobic flora (10⁸ CFU/mL) and yeast populations (10⁶ CFU/mL). Biochemical and molecular analyses identified Saccharomyces cerevisiae (yeast) and Leuconostoc mesenteroides (LAB) as dominant species, exhibiting robust stress tolerance (15% ethanol, 45°C) and probiotic potential, with 89–90% survival under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. LAB isolates demonstrated significant acidification (∆pH ≥1.5) and bile salt tolerance (88–90% survival), while both yeast and LAB showed non-hemolytic activity and antibiotic susceptibility, confirming safety. Starter cultures of these strains enabled consistent fermentation, enhancing ethanol yield (5.2–7.0% v/v) and flavor compound production. The study highlights the potential of S. cerevisiae and L. mesenteroides as multifunctional starter cultures to standardize palm wine production, ensuring reproducibility, safety, and probiotic functionality. These findings bridge traditional practices with biotechnological innovation, offering scalable solutions to improve quality, extend shelf-life, and position palm wine as a functional health beverage in global markets. Collaborative efforts to integrate these cultures into artisanal production could empower rural economies while preserving cultural heritage.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Botany has evolved from what was once a recreational pastime to a rigorous discipline focused on the search for scientific answers. Although its scientific nature is helpful in many respects towards discovery, it also must be remembered the curiosity from which these discoveries stem. By focusing on four contributors to the UBC Herbarium, Dr.’s T.M.C. Taylor, Wilfred Schofield, Robert F. Scagel and Gerald Straley, their stories are explored. While it is important to note their academic accomplishments, it is also meaningful to celebrate who they are as people. Herbaria aid in the preservation of Earth’s ever-compromised biodiversity. These four figures are integral pillars to the foundation of the UBC Herbarium, and through their honest curiosity, became part of something larger than themselves.

description: Increasing cancer rates particularly in the developed world are associated with related lifestyle and environmental exposures. Combined immunotherapy and targeted therapies are the main treatment approaches in advanced and recurrent cancer. An alternate approach, energy medicine is increasingly used in life threatening problems to promote human wellness. This study aimed to investigate the effect of biofield treatment on cancer biomarkers involved in human endometrium and prostate cancer cell lines. Each cancer cell lines were taken in two sealed tubes i.e. one tube was considered as control and another tube was subjected to Mr. Trivedi’s biofield treatment, referred as treated. Control and treated samples were studied for the determination of cancer biomarkers such as multifunctional cytokines viz. interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R), prostate specific antigen (PSA), and free prostate specific antigen (FPSA) concentrations using ELISA assay on day 10. Experimental results showed a significant reduction of IL-6 level in endometrium (12%) and prostate (98.8%) cancer cell lines while a significant increase was observed in TNF-α level in endometrium (385%) and prostate (89.8%) cancer cell lines as compared to control. No alteration of PSA level was observed in biofield treated endometrium and prostate cell line. Similarly, no alterations were evident in IL-2R and FPSA levels in endometrium and prostate cell lines after biofield treatment as compared to control. In conclusion, results suggest that biofield treatment has shown significant alterations in the level of cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α) in both endometrium and prostate cancer cell lines.

description: In the most basic sense, an insurgency is a competition for power. According to British Brigadier General Frank Kitson, "there can be no such thing as [a] purely military solution because insurgency is not primarily a military activity." U.S. Field Manual (Interim) 3-07.22, "Counterinsurgency Operations," defines insurgency as "organized movement aimed at the overthrow of a constituted government through use of subversion and armed conflict. It is a protracted politico-military struggle designed to weaken government control and legitimacy while increasing insurgent control. Political power is the central issue in an insurgency." In any struggle for political power there are a limited number of tools that can be used to induce men to obey. These tools are coercive force, economic incentive and disincentive, legitimating ideology, and traditional authority. These tools are equally available to insurgent and counterinsurgent forces. From the perspective of the population, neither side has an explicit or immediate advantage in the battle for hearts and minds. The civilian population will support the side that makes it "in its interest" to obey. The regard for one's own benefit or advantage is the basis for behavior in all societies, regardless of religion, class, or culture. Iraqis, for example, will decide to support the insurgency or government forces based on a calculation of which side "on balance" best meets their needs for physical security, economic well-being, and social identity. The central goal in counterinsurgency operations, then, is to surpass the adversary in the effective use of the four tools. Past counterinsurgency campaigns offer a number of lessons about how to conduct (and how not to conduct) counterinsurgency using the four tools of political competition. These lessons have potential relevance for current operations in Iraq.

Community perceptions and barriers to accessing local produce in the Dunbar-Southlands
Creators: name: Chikowero, Rumbidzai

description: Understanding a community’s lived experiences is pivotal when preparing to engage, participate and influence the community’s experiences. By asking the questions “What are the community perceptions of local produce in the Dunbar-Southlands?” and “What are the present barriers or challenges that community members face in accessing local produce?”, the researcher partnered with the UBC Farm sought to understand the Dunbar-Southlands residents’ views and access to local produce. Interviewing 3 residents and 3 experts, distributing a questionnaire to 40 residents and compiling demographic data provided answers that informed the recommendations made to the UBC Farm. The research found that residents perceive local produce to be better than conventional produce. Experts and the residents revealed that freshness, quality, taste, supporting the local economy and lowered carbon emissions were the main motivations for buying local produce. The following barriers to accessing local produce were also revealed: residents find that it is not easy to physically access places selling local produce, the price of said local produce is higher than conventional produce, consuming local produce would make no difference to their wellbeing and limited education about local produce prevent some residents from understanding or justifying the expense. When asked, residents expressed a desire for more affordable prices, increased access to and more education about local produce. It can be said that residents were of the opinion that local produce is better, but local is not necessarily accessible and is expensive. Among the residents that do want to buy local, the challenge lies in making it easier for them to do so – whether in terms of increasing general accessibility or providing them rational reasons for the expense. It is thus recommended that the UBC Farm (1) educate residents about the value of buying and consuming local produce, (2) bring local produce to the residents, (3) make local produce more affordable for the residents who can’t afford to splurge on food, and (4) partner with small, experienced producers in the area to re-mould the residents’ lived experience of local produce in an effective and far reaching way. Given the limited resources and narrowed scope of this paper’s focus, future research might look into how these neighbourhood food experiences fit within the City of Vancouver “greening” ambitions and food strategies. Taken as a launching point, this paper’s recommendations can begin to guide the UBC Farm in its ambitions to engage surrounding neighbourhoods and form more sustainable communities.
The AC Brooks legacy : a historical narrative told through the Cowan Tetrapod collection
Creators: name: Matzinger-Woudzia, Alexandra
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: This report traces the historical narrative of the two highly acclaimed naturalist biologists, Allan Cyril Brooks (1896-1946) and his son Allan Cecil Brooks (1929-2000) though the 697 species that the men themselves have awarded to the Cowan Tetrapod Collection housed within the Beaty Biodiversity Museum at UBC. The report contains information about the establishment of the museum itself, the history of the Cowan Tetrapod Collection, and chronicles the lives of these two extremely adventurous men. The analysis preformed in the scope of this report corresponds with the Beaty Museum’s core value of promoting collection-based research in which the user interacts with the exhibit at a very intimate level to learn. The ‘Brooks Legacy’ that is left behind by these two naturalist collectors enhances the museums ability to convey messages that reflect the core values of collection-based research. ‘The Legacy’ is a valuable teaching and learning collection that the museum has benefited from greatly. The scope of this report will illustrate the lives of these two men, and how their donations enrich the museum to an elite standard of education.

description: Evidence regarding the comparative safety of different COVID-19 vaccines remains limited. This study aims to characterize and compare the safety profiles of five COVID-19 vaccines in terms of adverse reactions after immunization. We conducted a retrospective analysis of adverse reactions reported among adults aged 18–59 years from nine clinical trials. The analyzed vaccines included inactivated, recombinant protein, intranasal influenza-vectored, aerosolized and intramuscular Ad5 vectored COVID-19 vaccines. Factor analysis and association rule analysis were used to characterize adverse reaction patterns, while multivariate logistic regression was employed to assess the influence of vaccine type and demographic factors. Inactivated, recombinant, and intramuscular Ad5 vectored vaccines commonly caused injection site pain, fatigue, headache, and pyrexia from the SOC of ‘General disorders and administration site conditions.’ Intranasal influenza-vectored vaccines mainly cause respiratory symptoms such as rhinorrhea and nasal congestion, while dry mouth and oropharyngeal pain from ‘Gastrointestinal disorders’ were primarily observed in aerosolized Ad5 vectored vaccines. Younger age (p < 0.001), female sex (p = 0.001), comorbidities (p < 0.001), and intramuscular Ad5 vectored vaccines (p < 0.001) were significantly associated with higher adverse reaction risks. COVID-19 vaccines developed through different technological approaches have distinct adverse reaction profiles.

Creosote-treated pilings in the marine and freshwater environments of Metro Vancouver : risks, financial impacts, and alternatives
Creators: name: Younie, Tamara
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The goal of this report is to investigate the use of creosote-treated pilings by considering policies practiced elsewhere, risks and financial impacts of removal, and potential alternatives to creosote-treated piles. By completing a literature review and a series of interviews, the following conclusions and recommendations were proposed: • The use of creosote should be phased out in the marine and freshwater environments of Metro Vancouver • Environmentally friendlier alternatives should be used, wherever possible • Alternatives are generally more expensive, yet may be cost effective when considering long-term use and number of pilings required • In some situations there may be no alternatives to treated-wood pilings • Existing pilings should be covered in order to prevent leaching if in vulnerable environments such as freshwater environments, areas with limited water flow, or areas with large concentrations of creosote-treated pilings • Removal of pilings can be detrimental to the environment and disposal of contaminated materials can be expensive • Due to lack of alternatives that are both environmentally friendly and economically feasible, further research needs to consider other viable options
Thermal susceptibility study of the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment Pathfinder Instruments
Creators: name: Gerbrandt, Stephanie A. N.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) will study Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) in the redshift range when the expansion of the Universe began to accelerate due Dark Energy’s dominating influence. CHIME will measure the Hubble parameter, H(z), and constrain the equation of state parameter, w, of Dark Energy. These measurements are critical in furthering our understanding of the expansion history of the Universe and Dark Energy. CHIME will observe the faint cosmological signal and map expansion from its location at the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory (DRAO) near Penticton, BC. In order to make the required measurements, the CHIME telescope requires an accurate calibration plan. Of the many components of the overall calibration plan, this paper specifically addresses the system gain calibration, with respect to exploring the relationship between system gain and temperature in the development of a thermal model. The model presented here describes the relationship to first order and lays the foundation for more detailed study. Findings provide insight into system gain configuration and facilitate subsequent development of the thermal model. The results presented here are critical steps in the system gain calibration, contributing to a successful overall calibration plan that will ultimately lead to reliable data from which new science results will emerge. The analysis of these data has the potential to lead to an increased understanding of the expansion of the Universe and the nature of Dark Energy.
