description: Where does solar flare energy come from? More specifically, assuming that the ultimate source of flare energy is mechanical energy in the convection zone, how is this translated into energy dissipated or stored in the corona? This question appears to have been given relatively little thought, as attention has been focussed predominantly on mechanisms for the rapid dissipation of coronal magnetic energy by way of MHD instabilities and plasma micro instabilities. We consider three types of flare theory: the steady state "photospheric dynamo" model in which flare power represents coronal dissipation of currents generated simultaneously by sub-photospheric flows; the "magnetic energy storage" model where sub-photospheric flows again induce coronal currents but which in this case are built up over a longer period before being released suddenly; and "emerging flux" models, in which new magnetic flux rising to the photosphere already contains free energy, and does not require subsequent stressing by photospheric motions. We conclude that photospheric dynamos can power only very minor flares; that coronal energy storage can in principle meet the requirements of a major flare, although perhaps not the very largest flares, but that difficulties in coupling efficiently to the energy source may limit this mechanism to moderate sized flares; and that emerging magnetic flux tubes, generated in the solar interior, can carry sufficient free energy to power even the largest flares ever observed.

description: The chemical abundance patterns of the oldest stars in the Galaxy are expected to contain residual signatures of the first stars in the early universe. Numerous studies attempt to explain the intrinsic abundance scatter observed in some metal-poor populations in terms of chemical inhomogeneities dispersed throughout the early Galactic medium due to discrete enrichment events. Just how the complex data and models are to be interpreted with respect to "progenitor yields" remains an open question. Here we show that stochastic chemical evolution models to date have overlooked a crucial fact. Essentially all stars today are born in highly homogeneous star clusters and it is likely that this was also true at early times. When this ingredient is included, the overall scatter in the abundance plane [Fe/H] vs. [X/Fe] (C-space), where X is a nucleosynthetic element, can be much less than derived from earlier models. Moreover, for moderately flat cluster mass functions (gamma < 2), and/or for mass functions with a high mass cut-off (M_max > 10^5 M_sun), stars exhibit a high degree of clumping in C-space that can be identified even in relatively small data samples. Since stellar abundances can be modified by mass transfer in close binaries, clustered signatures are essential for deriving the yields of the first supernovae. We present a statistical test to determine whether a given set of observations exhibit such behaviour. Our initial work focusses on two dimensions in C-space, but we show that the clustering signal can be greatly enhanced by additional abundance axes. The proposed experiment will be challenging on existing 8-10m telescopes, but relatively straightforward for a multi-object echelle spectrograph mounted on a 25-40m telescope.

description: We study the properties of self-shielding intergalactic absorption systems and their implications for the ionizing background. We find that cosmological simulations post-processed with detailed radiative transfer calculations generally are able to reproduce the observed abundance of Lyman-limit systems, and we highlight possible discrepancies between the observations and simulations. This comparison tests cosmological simulations at overdensities of ~100. Furthermore, we show that the properties of Lyman-limit systems in these simulations, in simple semi-analytic arguments, and as suggested by recent observations indicate that a small change in the ionizing emissivity of the sources would have resulted in a much larger change in the amplitude of the intergalactic HI-ionizing background (with this scaling strengthening with increasing redshift). This strong scaling could explain the rapid evolution in the Lyman-alpha forest transmission observed at z = 6. Our calculations agree with the suggestion of simpler models that the comoving ionizing emissivity was constant or even increasing from z = 3 to 6. Our calculations also provide a more rigorous estimate than in previous studies for the clumping factor of intergalactic gas after reionization, which we estimate was 2 - 3 at z = 6.

description: L’obiettivo di questo lavoro di ricerca è quello di indagare in quale misura è possibile promuovere la curiosità dei bambini nei confronti del patrimonio locale attraverso uno scambio intergenerazionale. Gli allievi si confronteranno con diverse tipologie di fonti, in particolar modo avranno la possibilità di intervistare i rappresentati di ben quattro generazioni ad iniziare dal loro nucleo familiare. Partire da una realtà vicina al bambino, come lo è ad esempio il gioco, permette un approccio diretto con la storia, la quale è composta da tante piccole ma importantissime consuetudini che hanno caratterizzato e continuano tutt’ora a caratterizzare la vita di tutti i giorni. E quale mezzo migliore se non l’ascolto di testimonianze dal vivo di chi queste abitudini le ha vissute? I dati sono stati raccolti secondo varie modalità: individuale, a piccoli gruppi o con l’intera classe. Pur tenendo in considerazione il limite temporale della sperimentazione, durato quattro mesi, l’analisi dei dati ottenuti ha permesso di evidenziare che lo scambio intergenerazionale è un ottimo mezzo per incrementare la curiosità dei bambini nei riguardi del patrimonio storico locale.

description: We compare mid-infrared emission-line properties, from high-resolution Spitzer spectra of a hard X-ray (14 -- 195 keV) selected sample of nearby (z < 0.05) AGN detected by the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) aboard Swift. The luminosity distribution for the mid-infrared emission-lines, [O IV] 25.89 micron, [Ne II] 12.81 micron, [Ne III] 15.56 micron and [Ne V] 14.32/24.32 micron, and hard X-ray continuum show no differences between Seyfert 1 and Seyfert 2 populations, however six newly discovered BAT AGNs are under-luminous in [O IV], most likely the result of dust extinction in the host galaxy. The overall tightness of the mid-infrared correlations and BAT fluxes and luminosities suggests that the emission lines primarily arise in gas ionized by the AGN. We also compare the mid-infrared emission-lines in the BAT AGNs with those from published studies of ULIRGs, PG QSOs, star-forming galaxies and LINERs. We find that the BAT AGN sample fall into a distinctive region when comparing the [Ne III]/[Ne II] and the [O IV]/[Ne III] ratios. These line ratios are lower in sources that have been previously classified in the mid-infrared/optical as AGN than those found for the BAT AGN, suggesting that, in our X-ray selected sample, the AGN represents the main contribution to the observed line emission. These ratios represent a new emission line diagnostic for distinguishing between AGN and star forming galaxies.

description: By using parametric down-conversion process with a strong signal field injection, we demonstrate coherent frequency down-conversion from a pump photon to an idler photon. Contrary to a common misunderstanding, we show that the process can be free of quantum noise. With an interference experiment, we demonstrate that the coherence is preserved in the conversion process. This may lead to a high fidelity quantum state transfer from high frequency photon to low frequency photon and connects a missing link in a quantum network. With this scheme of coherent frequency down-conversion of photons, we propose a method of single-photon wavelength division multiplexing.

description: Abstract The user context document describes the environment around unemployment services and outlines the considerations for social requirements when developing the platform in Slovenia. Based on document studies, statistics and interviews with counsellors and unemployed persons at the pilot deployment sites we aim to capture the user environment. Although, Slovenia has had its own unique path towards activation which is shaped by the past socialist era as a republic in Yugoslavia and subsequent transition, it also shares several characteristics and challenges with most other EU member states. Thus, the report points to the issues related to profiling and the Hecat tool that are distinctly Slovenian and those that will be relevant in other countries.

description: This paper presents Sparse Partitioning, a Bayesian method for identifying predictors that either individually or in combination with others affect a response variable. The method is designed for regression problems involving binary or tertiary predictors and allows the number of predictors to exceed the size of the sample, two properties which make it well suited for association studies. Sparse Partitioning differs from other regression methods by placing no restrictions on how the predictors may influence the response. To compensate for this generality, Sparse Partitioning implements a novel way of exploring the model space. It searches for high posterior probability partitions of the predictor set, where each partition defines groups of predictors that jointly influence the response. The result is a robust method that requires no prior knowledge of the true predictor--response relationship. Testing on simulated data suggests Sparse Partitioning will typically match the performance of an existing method on a data set which obeys the existing method's model assumptions. When these assumptions are violated, Sparse Partitioning will generally offer superior performance.

MEMS-enabled drug delivery through wirelessly controlled pumping and valving actuation
Creators: name: Yang, Ryan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Commercialised drug delivery devices (DDD) have enhanced healthcare treatments. The two main types of devices are active and passive drug releasing. Active release devices allow for more control and patient-customised treatments, but often require a battery as a power source, which accounts for a large portion of the size of the device. Passive release devices can have a larger holding reservoir, but do not offer the ability to tailor treatments. In both kinds of devices, reducing leakage is a challenge. This thesis presents a proof-of-concept test prototype of the implantable DDD that allows for active drug release that can be wirelessly powered. The prototype also has two actuators that enable simultaneous pumping and valving of the active drug release mechanism to meet the leakage challenge. An inductor-capacitor (LC) circuit patterned on a copper-clad polyimide sheet, using photolithography technique, acts as a wireless heat source. This LC circuit is activated with a radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic signal. At resonance, the inductor will heat up and this thermal energy then induces a displacement in the shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators. The SMA actuators are cantilevers that have been deposited with a SiO₂ stress layer which resets its position at room temperature. With the thermal energy, the SMA cantilevers undergo a change in crystal phase that result in a displacement of between 50-60 µm and exerts a force of about 170 mN. This actuation is applied onto a microfluidic chamber made of Parylene-C to force a release of drug from the pumping chamber. Another cantilever that acts in the opposite direction is attached onto an outlet channel. This cantilever acts as a pinch valve which when simultaneously heated, will allow flow out of the channel. Experimental testing of this prototype has shown single release volume of about 72 nL. A leakage comparison between attaching the valving cantilever and without is also shown. This prototype seeks to reduce leakage while still functioning as a wirelessly actuated active release implant through the novel design of dual cantilevers that can simultaneously pump and valve within the same LC circuit heat source.

description: We demonstrate a 5-GHz-broadband tunable slow-light device based on stimulated Brillouin scattering in a standard highly-nonlinear optical fiber pumped by a noise-current-modulated laser beam. The noise modulation waveform uses an optimized pseudo-random distribution of the laser drive voltage to obtain an optimal flat-topped gain profile, which minimizes the pulse distortion and maximizes pulse delay for a given pump power. Eye-diagram and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) analysis show that this new broadband slow-light technique significantly increases the fidelity of a delayed data sequence, while maintaining the delay performance. A fractional delay of 0.81 with a SNR of 5.2 is achieved at the pump power of 350 mW using a 2-km-long highly nonlinear fiber with the fast noise-modulation method, demonstrating a 50% increase in eye-opening and a 36% increase in SNR compared to a previous slow-modulation method.

description: Il presente Lavoro di Diploma si prefigge di indagare le competenze socio emotive degli allievi di Scuola Media e di procedere con interventi educativi specifici che possano accrescerle: l’intenzione è quella di contribuire ad arginare il problema dell’analfabetismo emotivo fornendo ai giovani degli strumenti che permettano loro di gestire meglio la vita emozionale e i rapporti con il prossimo. I dati raccolti attraverso un questionario a scelta multipla, uniti all’osservazione e conoscenza della classe considerata, permettono di identificare lacune e bisogni educativi specifici sulla base dei quali progettare un itinerario didattico mirato che vuole sviluppare le seguenti capacità: autogestione delle emozioni e pensieri, empatia e accettazione, abilità comunicativa e di gestione dei conflitti, accoglienza, superamento dei pregiudizi e coesione. Attraverso il consolidamento del gruppo classe e il potenziamento dell’integrazione scolastica, ci si prospetta di mitigare le preoccupazioni legate al rapporto con i pari e di attenuare la percezione di bullismo. L’applicazione dell’itinerario e l’analisi dei risultati emersi dalla sovrapposizione dei diari della docente con i riscontri degli allievi permettono di verificare che l’attuazione di interventi di educazione socio emotiva può sviluppare la consapevolezza dei meccanismi psicologici e sociali, una migliore comprensione del funzionamento delle relazioni interpersonali e un’aumentata disponibilità e sensibilità reciproca.

description: School counselors provide career and college guidance services to secondary students to prepare them for transition to post-secondary education and employment. Successful post-secondary transition is a desired outcome for students in special education. This project surveyed 96 currently practicing secondary school counselors from two Northern Utah school districts. A survey questionnaire using rating scale items and open-ended questions was administered to assess the degree to which school counselors provide specific career and college guidance services to students in special education, counselors rating of preparedness to provide such services, counselor beliefs about providing these services, and what factors negatively or positively influenced school counselors in providing career and college transition services to students in special education. The majority of participants reported providing services to 50% or more of the students in special education on their caseload for seven of the 10 identified college and career guidance activities., The majority of participants also reported providing services to 76% or more of the students in special education on their caseload for six of the 10 identified college and career guidance activities. There was not one of the identified college and career guidance activities for which the majority of participants reported provision to 91% or greater of students in special education. Less than 50% of participants reported being “very prepared” to provide each of the college and career guidance activities to students in special education. These results may have implications for increasing school counselors’ provision of career and college guidance services to students in special education. These results may also evidence a need for increasing school counselor education program content related to special education services and developing and providing in-service training to assist school counselors in being prepared to provide transition services to students with disabilities.

description: Since HCN emission has been shown to be a linear tracer of ongoing star formation activity, we have searched for HCN (J = 1->0) emission from known GMCs in the nearby galaxy M33. No significant HCN emission has been found along any of the lines of sight. We find two lines of sight where CO-to-HCN integrated intensity ratios up to 280, nearly a factor of 6 above what is found in comparable regions of the Milky Way. Star formation tracers suggest that the HCN-to-star formation rate ratio (L_HCN/M_SFR) is a factor of six lower than what is observed in the Milky Way (on average) and local extragalactic systems. Simple chemical models accounting for the sub-solar N/O ratio suggest that depletion cannot account for the high CO-to-HCN ratios. Given HCN formation requires high extinction (A_V > 4), low metallicity may yield reduced dust shielding and thus a high CO/HCN ratio. The turbulence and structure of GMCs in M33 are comparable to those found in other systems, so the differences are unlikely to result from different GMC properties. Since lower CO-to-HCN ratios are associated with the highest rates of star formation, we attribute the deficits in part to evolutionary effects within GMCs.

description: Aim: To examine the conceptual and operational definitions of RNs and LPNs respectively in a Canadian context. Design: A systematic review of Canadian research articles related to RN and LPN scope of practice will be undertaken. Methods: A systematic search looking for Canadian research studies published from 2009 to 2019 was conducted using CINAHL and MEDLINE databases. Other publications and websites, such as the BCCNP, were screened for relevant documents. Results: The final data set contained eight articles. Results indicate that four articles provided conceptual definitions for RNs, two articles provided conceptual definitions for LPNs, three articles provided operational definitions for RNs and two articles provided operational definitions for LPNs. Results include a lack of a strong operational scope of practice measure for RNs and LPNs respectively. Implications for nursing practice include scope overlap and ambiguity, leading to both LPNs and RNs in positions they felt underprepared for.

description: We can conclude that in the framework of writing the master's thesis, there is a developed and tested methodology that allows to evaluate the proposed strategies and their associated risks, as well as the predicted effect, and based on these data, to calculate the performance indicator for each of the strategies, which will allow to choose the most appropriate strategy. In addition to choosing a strategy, the developed model can be used to evaluate decisions made within the strategy. In common, results obtained during the calculation provide a more complete understanding of possible risks and allow to determine in advance the measures to prevent their occurrence.

description: Generalized quantum instruments correspond to measurements where the input and output are either states or more generally quantum circuits. These measurements describe any quantum protocol including games, communications, and algorithms. The set of generalized quantum instruments with a given input and output structure is a convex set. Here we investigate the extremal points of this set for the case of finite dimensional quantum systems and generalized instruments with finitely many outcomes. We derive algebraic necessary and sufficient conditions for extremality.

description: One new flavanonol 4 H-​1-​benzopyran-​4-​one,2-​(4-​hydroxyphenyl)​-​3,​7-​dihydroxy-​5-​methoxy-​8-​[5-​methyl-​2-​(1-​methylethenyl)​-​4-​hexenyl]​(21), and twenty-six known compounds 1–20, 22–27 were isolated from the dried root of Sophora flavescens (S. flavescens) in this chemical study. Their structures were elucidated according to the spectroscopic and spectrometric methods. All the isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against lung cancer A549 cells and colon cancer HCT116 cells. Among them, compound 21 showed relatively predominant cell proliferation inhibition effect on the two tumor cell lines. Moreover, it induced cells apoptosis as evidenced by the Annexin V/PI double staining assay as well as the increased cleaved-PARP expression. The aforementioned data indicated that the flavonoids of S. flavescens have potential anti-cancer effect.

description: We analyze the dynamics of evolutionary games in which fitness is defined as an affine function of the expected payoff and a constant contribution. The resulting inhomogeneous replicator equation has an homogeneous equivalent with modified payoffs. The affine terms also influence the stochastic dynamics of a two-strategy Moran model of a finite population. We then apply the affine fitness function in a model for tumor-normal cell interactions to determine which are the most successful tumor strategies. In order to analyze the dynamics of concurrent strategies within a tumor population, we extend the model to a three-strategy game involving distinct tumor cell types as well as normal cells. In this model, interaction with normal cells, in combination with an increased constant fitness, is the most effective way of establishing a population of tumor cells in normal tissue.

description: With the recent developments in proteomic technologies, a complete human proteome project (HPP) appears feasible for the first time. However, there is still debate as to how it should be designed and what it should encompass. In "proteomics speak", the debate revolves around the central question as to whether a gene-centric or a protein-centric proteomics approach is the most appropriate way forward. In this paper, we try to shed light on what these definitions mean, how large-scale proteomics such as a HPP can insert into the larger omics chorus, and what we can reasonably expect from a HPP in the way it has been proposed so far.
Polymer additive to enhance the retention of crop sprays
Creators: name: Xu, Minghuan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: In pesticide and fertilizer applications, large spray droplet sizes (300-500 um) are commonly used in the field for reduced spray drift. However, retention of spray droplets after they reach the target surface can be limited by droplets splashing, rebounding, or rolling off of the surface due to their high impacting velocity and inertial energy. While polymer additives were proposed to dissipate energy during the droplet impact process, whether they can enhance the retention efficiency of crop sprays in practical field conditions is still not clear. This research work focuses on enhancing the retention efficiency with polymer additives, which is carried out in four major steps: The first step is to screen polymers suitable for spray applications. The second step is to develop an approach that provides detailed physical insight in a setup that is representative of real spray conditions to quantify retention efficiency. The third step determines the effect of extensional rheological properties on retention efficiency at various spray conditions. The work carried out in the first, second, and third steps forms a comprehensive study on the relationship between extensional rheological properties of polymer solution and retention efficiency. Then the fourth step focuses on exploring the extensional rheological properties of selected polymer additives at different solvent conditions and in agrochemical solutions. The results demonstrate that increasing the extensional relaxation time of the spray solution can increase the retention efficiency by up to 20% and in some cases achieve a total efficiency greater than 95%. It’s also suggested for a particular polymer, surface, and droplet size, the extensional relaxation time alone could be sufficient to predict retention efficiency. The results also relate the extensional relaxation time to important influencing parameters including pH, ionic strength, type of ions, etc.
Truncated Moment Formalism for Radiation Hydrodynamics in Numerical Relativity

description: A truncated moment formalism for general relativistic radiation hydrodynamics, based on the Thorne's moment formalism, is derived. The fluid rest frame is chosen to be the fiducial frame for defining the radiation moments. Then, zeroth-, first-, and second-rank radiation moments are defined from the distribution function with a physically reasonable assumption for it in the optically thin and thick limits. The source terms are written, focusing specifically on the neutrino transfer and neglecting higher harmonic angular dependence of the reaction angle. Finally, basic equations for a truncated moment formalism for general relativistic radiation hydrodynamics in a closed covariant form are derived assuming a closure relation among the radiation stress tensor, energy density, and energy flux, and a variable Eddington factor, which works well.
