description: Optical properties of hybrid plasmonic waveguides and of low-Q cavities, formed by waveguides of finite length are investigated numerically. These structures are of interest as building-blocks of plasmon lasers. We use a time-harmonic finite-element package including a propagation-mode solver, a resonance-mode solver and a scattering solver for studying various properties of the system. Numerical convergence of all used methods is demonstrated.

description: Porous nanowires (NWs) with tunable thermal conductance are examined as a candidate for thermoelectric (TE) devices with high efficiency (ZT). Thermal conductance of porous Si and Ge NWs is calculated using the complete phonon dispersion obtained from a modified valence force field (MVFF) model. The presence of holes in the wires break the crystal symmetry which leads to the reduction in ballistic thermal conductance ($σ_{l}$). $[100]$ Si and Ge NWs show similar percentage reduction in $σ_{l}$ for the same amount of porosity. A 4nm $\times$ 4nm Si (Ge) NW shows $\sim$ 30% (29%) reduction in $σ_{l}$ for a hole of radius 0.8nm. The model predicts an anisotropic reduction in $σ_{l}$ in SiNWs, with $[111]$ showing maximum reduction followed by $[100]$ and $[110]$ for a similar hole radius. The reduction in $σ_{l}$ is attributed to phonon localization and anisotropic mode reduction.

The multiplicity distribution is found to be reasonably well explained by a double Negative Binomial Distribution (NBD). The average photon multiplicity increases logarithmically with $\sqrt{s}$. It is found that none of the models we used (PYTHIA6D6T, PHOJET, and HERWIG) could explain the data.

Structural performance of timber rivets in engineered wood products
Creators: name: Wu, Tianyi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Timber Rivets are oval-shaped nails made from high-strength steel that allow for strong and ductile timber connections. Timber Rivets have been successfully used in the construction industry for over 40 years. Both the Canadian design code (CSA-O86) and the American design code (NDS), however, only specify Timber Rivets to be used with Glulam and solid sawn timber of certain species. In recent years, significant research has been conducted in New Zealand regarding the application of Timber Rivets to Laminated Veneer Lumber. As a result, the Johansen Yield Model, which is verified as a valid approach to predict the ductile failure of Timber Rivet connections, has been complemented with new failure models and design equations that predict brittle failure modes. The objective of the research was to evaluate the feasibility of using the novel models to predict the failure modes and capacities of Timber Rivet connections in Laminated Veneer Lumber and Cross Laminated Timber. The experimental investigations carried out as part of this thesis consisted of 29 test series (with three or five replicates each) of Timber Rivet connections in these structural composites made from North American species. Quasi-static monotonic and cyclic tests with loading parallel and perpendicular to the grain were conducted in the Wood Mechanics Laboratory at the University of British Columbia Vancouver. The quasi static tests were used to validate the prediction models; the cyclic tests were used to assess the seismic performance of the connections. The results showed that the recent New Zealand model provides good predictions for Timber Rivet connections in Laminated Veneer Lumber. Furthermore, it was shown that cyclic loading does not severely weaken the performance of Timber Rivet connections. The existing models, however, do not provide accurate predictions for Timber Rivet connections in Cross Laminated Timber and more research is deemed necessary before such connections can be safely designed.

A genome-wide association study of cisplatin-induced hearing loss in children
Creators: name: Lee, Jong Wook
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Cisplatin is an effective chemotherapeutic agent used for a variety of solid organ malignancies in children and adults. However, its clinical use is limited by the high incidence of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity (CIO), which can affect up to 40-60% of children treated. To date, the genetic basis for CIO has been studied with only focused candidate-gene approaches. Here we report the findings of the first genome-wide association study (GWAS) of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in children. We examined 738,432 genetics markers in a discovery cohort of 282 Canadian paediatric patients treated with cisplatin, followed by a replication study in an independent Canadian cohort of 82 children. In addition, clinical, therapeutic, and demographic characteristics of cases and controls were analysed to identify clinical factors that may also contribute to the susceptibility to CIO. The genome-wide analyses identified a significant association within the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) gene on chromosome 9. The most highly associated single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs960312 conferred a highly protective effect against cisplatin-induced hearing loss (P = 1.19x10-⁸ , odds ratio = 0.22). This variant was subsequently replicated in an independent paediatric cohort (P = 0.018, odds ratio = 0.25). This variant is a tag SNP for a TLR4 promoter haplotype reported to have significantly altered transcriptional efficiency of TLR4. In both cohorts, CIO is significantly associated with younger age (P = 3.41x10-⁶), concomitant vincristine use (P = 2.03x10-¹²), and germ-cell tumour type (P = 4.50x10-⁶). After correcting for these clinical factors, TLR4 rs960312 remains highly associated (Uncorrected P = 1.16x10-⁹ ; Corrected P = 1.01x10-⁹). Several lines of evidence from in vitro and in vivo studies have implicated TLR4 in cisplatin-induced cochlear toxicity and hearing loss. Here we provide the first evidence linking TLR4 and CIO in human patients treated for cancer, leading to new insights into the mechanism underlying this pervasive and clinically limiting adverse drug reaction. The identification of additional markers that contribute to the susceptibility of CIO can be used to develop individualized patient treatments, which can potentially improve safety and treatment outcome of cisplatin.

description: X-ray spectroscopic measurements of the Cygnus Loop supernova remnant indicate that metal abundances throughout most of the remnant's rim are depleted to about 0.2 times the solar value. However, recent X-ray studies have revealed in some narrow regions along the outermost rim anomalously "enhanced" abundances (up to about 1 solar). The reason for these anomalous abundances is not understood. Here, we examine X-ray spectra in annular sectors covering nearly the entire rim of the Cygnus Loop using Suzaku (21 pointings) and XMM-Newton (1 pointing). We find that spectra in the "enhanced" abundance regions commonly show a strong emission feature at about 0.7 keV. This feature is likely a complex of He-like O K(gamma + delta + epsilon), although other possibilities cannot be fully excluded. The intensity of this emission relative to He-like O Kalpha appears to be too high to be explained as thermal emission. This fact, as well as the spatial concentration of the anomalous abundances in the outermost rim, leads us to propose an origin from charge-exchange processes between neutrals and H-like O. We show that the presence of charge-exchange emission could lead to the inference of apparently "enhanced" metal abundances using pure thermal emission models. Accounting for charge-exchange emission, the actual abundances could be uniformly low throughout the rim. The overall abundance depletion remains an open question.

description: In the first two papers of this series, Larsen et al (2010a,b) describe our faint CCD survey in the inner Galaxy and map the over-density of Thick Disk stars in Quadrant I (Q1) to 5 kpc or more along the line of sight. The regions showing the strongest excess are above the density contours of the bar in the Galactic disk. In this third paper on the asymmetric Thick Disk, we report on radial velocities and derived metallicity parameters for over 4000 stars in Q1, above and below the plane and in Q4 above the plane. We confirm the corresponding kinematic asymmetry first reported by Parker et al. (2004), extended to greater distances and with more spatial coverage. The Thick Disk stars in Q1 have a rotational lag of 60 -- 70 km/s relative to circular rotation, and the Metal-Weak Thick Disk stars have an even greater lag of 100 km/s. Both lag their corresponding populations in Q4 by approximately 30 km/s. Interestingly, the Disk stars in Q1 also appear to participate in the rotational lag by about 30 km/s. The enhanced rotational lag for the Thick Disk in Q1 extends to 4 kpc or more from the Sun. At 3 to 4 kpc, our sight lines extend above the density contours on the near side of the bar, and as our lines of sight pass directly over the bar the rotational lag appears to decrease. This is consistent with a "gravitational wake" induced by the rotating bar in the Disk which would trap and pile up stars behind it. We conclude that a dynamical interaction with the stellar bar is the most probable explanation for the observed kinematic and spatial asymmetries.

Incompatibility of trends in multi-year estimates from the American Community Survey
Creators: name: McElroy, Tucker
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Applications (stat.AP)

description: The American Community Survey (ACS) provides one-year (1y), three-year (3y) and five-year (5y) multi-year estimates (MYEs) of various demographic and economic variables for each "community", although the 1y and 3y may not be available for communities with a small population. These survey estimates are not truly measuring the same quantities, since they each cover different time spans. Using some simplistic models, we demonstrate that comparing different period-length MYEs results in spurious conclusions about trend movements. A simple method utilizing weighted averages is presented that reduces the bias inherent in comparing trends of different MYEs. These weighted averages are nonparametric, require only a short span of data, and are designed to preserve polynomial characteristics of the time series that are relevant for trends. The basic method, which only requires polynomial algebra, is outlined and applied to ACS data. In some cases there is an improvement to comparability, although a final verdict must await additional ACS data. We draw the conclusion that MYE data is not comparable across different periods.

An experimental investigation of thermal effects on the axial resistance to relative ground movement of buried district heating pipes
Creators: name: Huber, Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: District heating (DH) systems are commonly used in urban areas to distribute thermal energy from central heat sources. Buried pipes, with a composite cross-sectional construction, are used to transport a heated medium, usually water. These pipes expand and contract radially and axially due to changing water temperatures, invoking soil-pipe interaction situations during operation, and potentially leading to significant pipeline material strains. Measures to account for these soil-pipe interactions are an important consideration and a significant cost factor when designing and installing robust and cost-effective DH pipe systems. A series of full-scale tests were undertaken to provide experimental data on the axial and lateral soil resistance of DH pipes. An existing soil chamber that is part of the Advanced Soil Pipe Interaction Research™ (ASPIRe™) facility at the The University of British Columbia (UBC) was adapted to test full-size water-filled pipes. As a part of this project, a heating system was developed specifically to apply different heating histories to the water mass before the pipe is pulled. Strain gauges were mounted on the pipe at the soil interface to contribute to understanding the mechanisms involved in soil-pipe interaction. It was shown that changes in the temperature of the water mass have a significant influence on axial pullout resistance of the DH pipe. After heating the water mass by ∆T = 50 °C, large-strain resistance increased by roughly 15 % compared to the control tests. Three full cooling and heating cycles reduced the axial soil resistance of the pipe, potentially due to an arching mechanism in the soil. Considerable strain was measured at the soil-pipe interface both in axial and radial direction during heating of the water mass. Based on the development of strain with the heating history, it was inferred that the expansions at the pipe surface result from a combination of strains from both the steel pipe at the core and the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) cover. Consequently, DH pipes have to be treated as a complete system in combination with the surrounding soil mass in order to accurately model their mechanical behaviour under thermal load.

description: One of the major differences between various explosion scenarios of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) is the remaining amount of unburned (C+O) material and its velocity distribution within the expanding ejecta. While oxygen absorption features are not uncommon in the spectra of SNe Ia before maximum light, the presence of strong carbon absorption has been reported only in a minority of objects, typically during the pre-maximum phase. The reported low frequency of carbon detections may be due to low signal-to-noise data, low abundance of unburned material, line blending between C II 6580 and Si II 6355, ejecta temperature differences, asymmetrical distribution effects, or a combination of these. However, a survey of published pre-maximum spectra reveals that more SNe Ia than previously thought may exhibit C II 6580 absorption features and relics of line blending near 6300 Angstroms. Here we present new SN Ia observations where spectroscopic signatures of C II 6580 are detected, and investigate the presence of C II 6580 in the optical spectra of 19 SNe Ia using the parameterized spectrum synthesis code, SYNOW. Most of the objects in our sample that exhibit C II 6580 absorption features are of the low-velocity gradient subtype. Our study indicates that the morphology of carbon-rich regions is consistent with either a spherical distribution or a hemispheric asymmetry, supporting the recent idea that SN Ia diversity may be a result of off-center ignition coupled with observer line-of-sight effects.

description: We treat a model in which tensor perturbations of de~Sitter spacetime, represented as a spatially flat model, are modified by the effects of the vacuum fluctuations of a massless conformally invariant field, such as the electromagnetic field. We use the semiclassical theory of gravity with the expectation value of the conformal field stress tensor as a source. We first study the stability of de~Sitter spacetime by searching for growing, spatially homogeneous modes, and conclude that it is stable within the limits of validity of the semiclassical theory. We next examine the modification of linearized plane gravity waves by the effects of the quantum stress tensor. We find a correction term which is of the same form as the original wave, but displaced in phase by -π/2, and with an amplitude which depends upon the duration of inflation. The magnitude of this effect is proportional to the change in scale factor during inflation. So long as the energy scale of inflation and the proper frequency of the mode at the beginning of inflation are well below the Planck scale, the fractional correction is small. However, modes which are transplanckian at the onset of inflation can undergo a significant correction. The increase in amplitude can potentially have observable consequences through a modification of the power spectrum of tensor perturbations in inflationary cosmology. This enhancement of the power spectrum depends upon the duration of inflation and is greater for shorter wavelengths.

description: Psychische Krankheiten in der Eidgenössischen Invalidenversicherung wurden seit der Mitte der 1980er-Jahre aufgrund ansteigender Fallzahlen und einer polarisierenden Medienberichterstattung zunehmend auf der höchsten politischen Ebene thematisiert. Wenig beachtet – dies gilt auch für die historische Forschung – war bisher aber die Zeit seit der Einführung der Invalidenversicherung im Jahr 1960. Wann wurde die psychische Invalidität im Rahmen der IV zum Thema? Wurden psychische Krankheiten überhaupt von Beginn weg als Invaliditätsgründe anerkannt? Wenn ja, welche Krankheiten? Gab es diesbezüglich Veränderungen nach der Einführung? Diesen Fragen versucht die vorliegende Masterarbeit nachzugehen. Sie zeigt auf, wie das vereinte Engagement von Psychiatern, Fachorganisationen und dem neu gegründeten Dachverband Pro Mente Sana, aber auch die Rechtsprechung des Eidgenössischen Versicherungsgerichts letztendlich zur formellen Gleichstellung psychisch Invalider führte. Es wird zudem ersichtlich, wie sich Diskurse, welche teilweise weit ins 19. Jahrhundert zurückreichten, z.B. die sogenannte «Alkoholfrage», mit zeitgenössischen politischen und wirtschaftlichen Schwerpunkten sowie dem medizinischen Erkenntnisstand verbanden. Die Arbeit beruht primär auf Akten des Bundesamts für Sozialversicherung (Schweizerisches Bundesarchiv). Sie knüpft zudem an die jüngere Forschung im Bereich Sozialversicherungsgeschichte an, welche in den letzten Jahren zahlreiche Publikationen hervorgebracht hat.

description: By molecular dynamics simulation, the chemical vapor deposition of amorphous carbon onto graphite and diamond surfaces was studied. In particular, we investigated the effect of source H/C ratio, which is the ratio of the number of hydrogen atoms to the number of carbon atoms in a source gas, on the deposition process. In the present simulation, the following two source gas conditions were tested: one was that the source gas was injected as isolated carbon and hydrogen atoms, and the other was that the source gas was injected as hydrocarbon molecules. Under the former condition, we found that as the source H/C ratio increases, the deposition rate of carbon atoms decreases exponentially. This exponential decrease in the deposition rate with increasing source H/C ratio agrees with experimental data. However, under the latter molecular source condition, the deposition rate did not decrease exponentially because of a chemical reaction peculiar to the type of hydrocarbon in the source gas.

The stability of spot patterns for the Brusselator reaction-diffusion system in two space dimensions : periodic and finite domain settings
Creators: name: Chang, Yifan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: In this thesis, we construct spot equilibrium asymptotic solutions to the Bruusselator model in the semi-strong interaction regime characterized by an asymptotically large diffusivity ratio under two settings: periodic solutions in R² with respect to a Bravais lattice and spot solutions concentrate around some discrete points inside a finite domain. We use matched asymptotic methods, Bloch theory and the study of certain nonlocal eigenvalue problems to do the stability analysis of the linearised system and calculate the two term asymptotic approximation for the stability threshold. In the end we compare the numerical results with the asymptotic approximations, use Ewald’s methods to derive an explicit expression for the regular part of the Bloch Green function to decide the optimal lattice arrangement and do a case study for the N-peak solutions on a ring inside the unite disk.

description: We consider defect mediated melting of Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) and pair density wave (PDW) phases in two dimensions. Examining mean-field ground states in which the spatial oscillations of the FFLO/PDW superfluid order parameter exhibit hexagonal lattice symmetry, we find that thermal melting leads to a variety of novel phases. We find that a spatially homogeneous charge six superfluid can arise from melting a hexagonal vortex-anitvortex lattice FFLO/PDW phase. The charge six superfluid has an order parameter corresponding to a bound state of six fermions. We further find that a hexagonal vortex-free FFLO/PDW phase can melt to yield a conventional (charge two) homogeneous superfluid. A key role is played by topological defects that combine fractional vortices of the superfluid order and fractional dislocations of the lattice order.
