description: Landscape structure influenced by land-use is likely to affect pollinator demography. Using naturally colonized nest boxes placed at 27 sites in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, I assessed demographic responses of bumble bees to the availability of resources as inferred from landscape structure (i.e., landscape composition and configuration), and examined the spatial scale that best explained responses to the landscape. I used mixed model regression analysis to model the influence of semi-natural habitat, beneficial agriculture, suburban cover, and habitat edge density, all measured in six radii (250 m - 2500 m) around colonies, on nest founding and success of bumble bee colonies. Semi-natural habitat had no relationship with nest founding and colony success. Nest founding decreased in surroundings with more “beneficial agriculture” cover (i.e., mass flowering berry crops), however, nest founding increased at locations with more edge habitats. Higher amount of suburban cover decreased nest founding. Nest founding was best explained by the landscape at a 1500 m radius around the nest, however, there was no evidence of colony success responding to the landscape at any spatial scale. I conclude that beneficial agriculture and suburban cover had negative consequences for nest founding in bumble bee populations within my study landscape. Edge habitats seemed to attract more bumble bee queens to nest and may maintain bee populations while serving as sources of wild bumble bee pollinators, who might forage within nearby commercial blueberry crops to improve crop yield.

description: During the First World War South Asian combatants and non-combatants were taken prisoner in France, Belgium, Mesopotamia, East Africa and other theatres of war. The conditions under which POWs were captured differed enormously in terms of housing, food, disciplinary rules, medical treatment, social and cultural facilities. Usually, the men were segregated not only according to their military ranks, but also to ethnic, social and religious criteria. South Asian prisoners were exposed to intensive propaganda. In Germany they also became the target of scholarly interest when German anthropologists and linguists carried out studies in camps.

description: Purpose: Radiation detriment is a concept used by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) to quantify the harmful health effects of radiation exposure in humans. The current approach of radiation detriment calculation has been defined in ICRP Publication 103 in 2007. It is determined from lifetime risk of cancer and heritable effects for a composite reference population, taking into account the severity of the disease in terms of lethality, quality of life and years of life lost. Many parameters are used in the calculations and the variation of these parameters can have effects on the cancer detriment, which needs to be investigated. Materials and methods: In this paper, we conducted a sensitivity analysis for examining the impact of 12 different parameters or methodological choices on the calculation of solid cancer detriment, such as the lifetime risk calculation method, survival curve, dose and dose-rate effectiveness factor (DDREF), age-at-exposure, sex, reference population, risk transfer model, latency, attained age, lethality, minimum quality of life factor and relative cancer-free life lost. Sensitivity calculations have been performed systematically for each of 10 solid cancer sites, by changing each one of the parameters in turn. Results: This sensitivity analysis demonstrated a large impact on estimated detriment from DDREF, age-at-exposure, sex and lethality, a noticeable impact of risk transfer model associated to variation of baseline rates, and a limited impact of risk calculation method, survival curve, latency, attained age, quality of life and relative years of life lost. Conclusion: These results could have implications for radiation protection standards, and they should help define priorities for future research in the field of low radiation dose and dose rate research. The present sensitivity analysis is part of a global effort of ICRP to review the bases of radiation detriment calculation and assess potential evolutions to improve the radiation protection system.

description: In a recent letter [Europhys. Lett. 97, 34002 (2012)], random matrix theory is introduced for long-range acoustic propagation in the ocean. The theory is expressed in terms of unitary propagation matrices that represent the scattering between acoustic modes due to sound speed fluctuations induced by the ocean's internal waves. The scattering exhibits a power-law decay as a function of the differences in mode numbers thereby generating a power-law, banded, random unitary matrix ensemble. This work gives a more complete account of that approach and extends the methods to the construction of an ensemble of acoustic timefronts. The result is a very efficient method for studying the statistical properties of timefronts at various propagation ranges that agrees well with propagation based on the parabolic equation. It helps identify which information about the ocean environment survives in the timefronts and how to connect features of the data to the surviving environmental information. It also makes direct connections to methods used in other disordered wave guide contexts where the use of random matrix theory has a multi-decade history.

Iqbal's Notion of an 'Islamic Modernity'

description: This study seeks to explore Muhammad Iqbal's particular conception of an 'Islamic modernity' and understand it's implications for Muslim societies. It aims to highlight Iqbal's vision of Islam as a modern postcolonial religion and his notion of the 'principle of movement' in Islam which informs his distinctive critique of Islamic modernism. The paper tries to throw light on Iqbal's intellectual engagement with the West and briefly reviews the way in which Iqbal's political thought coincided and diverged with that of his contemporaries in South Asia. This paper underlines Iqbal's rejection of both secularism and traditionalism in Islam. This seemingly contradictory position is interesting to study in the Islamic context because modernity and secularism are considered to be mutually contigious and complementary phenomenon. This paper attempts to underscore the clear distinction between modernity and secularism, as highlighted through Iqbal's work. It also argues that this ostensibly paradoxical understanding of modernity beleaguers the impact of Iqbal's thought and in many ways obstructs it's articulation in the Muslim societies.

description: Sonic Therapeutic Intervention (STI) is, in essence, a method of healing and self-improvement based on the regular administration of particular sound vibrations. Based on the fundamental principle that various types of sounds have particular effects on the mind and body, Sonic Therapeutic Intervention seeks to take advantage of those sounds that are most beneficial to the mind, in order to create various positive effects — including decreased anger and anxiety, more developed cognitive function, improved decision-making ability, and increased self-control. With regular practice, Sonic Therapeutic Intervention is effectively able to enact these beneficial effects, thus destroying the root causes of a variety of social and psychological problems.

ICT, multilingual primary education and classroom pedagogy in Northern Uganda
Creators: name: Oates, Lauryn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The goal of achieving Universal Primary Education (UPE) has found resonance throughout Africa as governments embark on ambitious development agendas, and in Uganda specifically. Yet, arguably the fundamental prerequisite for attaining quality UPE, literacy, has had limited success: one in three Ugandans cannot read or write in any language. Illiteracy is especially acute in post-conflict Gulu, in the north, illustrative of how closely intertwined human security is to the ability to offer relevant, culturally appropriate and high quality education. Some argue that the poor progress on raising literacy levels is a consequence of education systems’ disconnections from the cultures of their learners (Prah 2008), including quality multilingual education. The need to integrate the mother tongue into the classroom, including into second language learning is well established (Cummins 1981, 1993; 2000; Egbokhare 2004; Garcia, 2009). Identifying the best tools to accomplish this in African contexts, particularly where conflict is a factor, however, is much less well explored. This research seeks to understand how Gulu's primary teachers can use specific information communication technology (ICT) tools to support teachers who are struggling to teach the mother tongue with limited traditional literacy resources. It forms part of a larger project led by Dr. Bonny Norton, Dr. Maureen Kendrick and Dr. Margaret Early, to address language and literacy challenges in diverse African communities. In particular, this study serves as a response to the finding (Mutonyi & Norton, 2007) that ICTs offer untapped potential to raise learning outcomes.
Why edge effects are important on the intrinsic loss mechanisms of graphene nanoresonators?

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate edge effects on the quality factor of graphene nanoresonators with different edge configurations and of various sizes. If the periodic boundary condition is applied, very high quality factors ($3\times10^{5}$) are obtained for all kinds of graphene nanoresonators. However, if the free boundary condition is applied, quality factors will be greatly reduced by two effects resulting from free edges: the imaginary edge vibration effect and the artificial effect. Imaginary edge vibrations will flip between a pair of doubly degenerate warping states during the mechanical oscillation of nanoresonators. The flipping process breaks the coherence of the mechanical oscillation of the nanoresonator, which is the dominant mechanism for extremely low quality factors. There is an artificial effect if the mechanical oscillation of the graphene nanoresonator is actuated according to an artificial vibration (non-natural vibration of the system), which slightly reduce the quality factor. The artificial effect can be eliminated by actuating the mechanical oscillation according to a natural vibration of the nanoresonator. Our simulations provide an explanation for the recent experiment, where the measured quality factor is low and varies between identical samples with free edges.

description: Soldiers’ attitudes towards the Great War are a controversial issue, as they prove difficult to assess and raise complex methodological questions. They evolved during the course of the conflict, from a broad acceptance of a defensive war in the summer of 1914, to war-weariness as early as winter 1914, to various and sometimes spectacular forms of refusal from 1917 onwards, although obedience and compliance remained the norm. Acceptance, endurance and refusal can further be explained by taking into account variables such as military context, individual combatants’ political ideas, their social backgrounds and their national loyalties and affiliations.

description: In the literature, an auditory nerve tuning curve obtained from single unit recording typically has a tail and a tip. Responses beyond the tip in the well supra-CF frequency region had never been documented. In a study designed to explore that region specifically, we found plateau responses in the supra-CF region of several auditory nerve tuning curves at very high sound pressure levels (~120dB SPL). (Huang & Olson, ARO 2009, poster #623) However, a complicating issue at high sound pressure levels is the generation of subharmonics, which are likely generated in the eardrum (Dallos & Linnell 1966 JASA 40(3):561-564). Indeed, we found subharmonics in a subset of ear canal pressure we measured in gerbils, and they might have contributed to the supra-CF responses. Here we present auditory nerve tuning curves in which supra-CF neural responses were present while subharmonics were beneath the noise floor in the ear canal pressure. Thus these detections of supra-CF neural responses did not seem to suffer from subharmonic "contamination." To probe this further, we delivered loud tones and compared ear canal pressure and intracochlear pressure at subharmonics frequencies, and the quantitative relationship between the two reinforced that subharmonics were probably not responsible for the supra-CF neural responses we measured. It is conceivable that this subharmonic finding has at least two clinical implications. First, eardrum produced subharmonics might occur with very high power hearing aids. This could pose a problem to patients with band limited or high frequency hearing loss, since subharmonics that are within their normal-hearing frequencies could be perceived to be "louder" than the fundamental. Second, we found that the eardrum (the putative source of the subharmonics) was a reasonably effective sound radiator. Thus hearing aids that drive the eardrum directly might produce feedback.

description: We consider the electronic analog of the quantum optics Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometer, in a realistic condensed matter device based on single electron emission in chiral edge states. For electron-electron collisions, we show that the measurement of the zero-frequency current correlations at the output of a quantum point contact produces a dip giving precious information on the electronic wavepackets and coherence. As a feature truly unique to Fermi statistics and condensed matter, we show that two-particle interferences between electron and hole in the Fermi sea can produce a positive peak in the current correlations, which we study for realistic experimental parameters.

Politicians of agrarian parties attained influential government positions in both Poland and the Baltic States. Initially, agrarian reforms were introduced to curb Bolshevik influence. However, the long-term aims of agrarianism were both political and economic, with the economic empowerment of the peasantry as the core of the nation going hand in hand with the marginalisation of an economic elite perceived as “foreign”. Agrarianism thus contributed to the rise of interwar economic nationalism and ethnic conflicts.

description: Ruggero et al. (PNAS 97(22) p.11744, 2000) compared threshold tuning curves of chinchilla basilar membrane (BM) vibrations and auditory nerve (AN) fibers. They noted that the AN tuning curves lacked the supra-CF frequency plateaus that are present in BM responses and suggested that BM vibrations do not translate into AN responses in the supra-CF frequency region. This observation is relevant to the relationship between BM motion (macromechanics) and hair cell stimulation (micromechanics). To further investigate the discrepancy, we recorded AN responses from the gerbil, concentrating on the supra-CF region of single AN fibers. We observed a supra-CF frequency plateau in AN responses at very high sound pressure levels (> 100dB SPL). This AN plateau was at least 10 to 15dB higher than what is predicted from BM plateaus. However, at high sound pressure levels, we also recorded subharmonics in the acoustic signal in the ear canal. The subharmonics were not produced by the speaker and appeared to be produced in the auditory mechanics. Dallos and Linnell (JASA 40(3) p.561, 1966) studied similar subharmonics, and concluded that they were produced in the ear drum and in the cochlea. We still need to determine whether the subharmonics are responsible for the supra-CF frequency plateaus in the AN responses or if the AN responses are due to the motion of the BM at the fundamental frequency.

description: Although India was not a theatre of war, World War I produced a major inflexion in a historical trajectory that had been marked since 1815 by a certain degree of insulation from the ebb and flow of the rivalries of the great powers. As India’s relatively small peacetime army expanded enormously, the reverberations of the conflict were felt in the economy, society and politics of the country. The connection between India and Britain emerged paradoxically weakened from a period in which India’s resources had been mobilized as never before in service of empire.

description: We present a detailed investigation of the changing relationship between galaxies and the dark matter haloes they inhabit from z~1.2 to the present day. We do this by comparing precise galaxy clustering measurements over 133 deg2 of the "Wide" component of the CFHT Legacy Survey (CFHTLS) with predictions of an analytic HOD model where the number of galaxies in each halo depends only on the halo mass. Starting from a parent catalogue of ~ 3x10^6 galaxies at i'_AB < 22.5 we use accurate photometric redshifts calibrated using ~ 10^4 spectroscopic redshifts to create a series of type-selected volume-limited samples covering 0.2 < z < 1.2. Our principal result, based on clustering measurements in these samples, is a robust determination of the luminosity-to-halo mass ratio and its dependence on redshift and galaxy type. For the full sample, this reaches a peak at low redshifts of Mh,peak = 4.5x10^11 h^-1 M_sun and moves towards higher halo masses at higher redshifts. For redder galaxies the peak is at higher halo masses and does not evolve significantly over the entire redshift range of our survey. We also consider the evolution of bias, average halo mass and the fraction of satellites as a function of redshift and luminosity. Our observed growth of a factor of ~ 2 in satellite fraction between z~1 and z~0 is testament to the limited role that galaxy merging plays in galaxy evolution for ~ 10^12 h^-1 M_sun mass haloes at z<1. Qualitatively, our observations are consistent with a picture in which red galaxies in massive haloes have already accumulated most of their stellar mass by z~1 and subsequently undergo little evolution until the present day. The observed movement of the peak location for the full galaxy population is consistent with the bulk of star-formation activity migrating from higher mass haloes at high redshifts to lower mass haloes at lower redshifts.

In many cases, innovative attempts to implement reforms have failed because the inability of cities to develop their 'civic capacity' -- the capacity to build and maintain broad social and political multi-sectoral coalitions in pursuit of common goals. This article argues that these significant points of convergence are productive building blocks for the construction of more generalizable models of urban governance and planning in democratic cities in the Americas and beyond. It situates coalition and network politics at the center of urban planning and governance reform, suggesting that associationism and regime theory can be instrumental at analyzing the status of civic capacity of urban communities. Furthermore, this article claims that the points of convergence between these models of governance may achieve a more powerful synergy and productive status as tools for both analysis and action through their synthesis in, and reinforcement of, the notion of communicative action in urban planning theory and practice.
The prediction method of similar cycles

description: The concept of degree of similarity (η) is proposed to quantitatively describe the similarity of a parameter (e.g. the maximum amplitude Rmax) of a solar cycle relative to a referenced one, and the prediction method of similar cycles is further developed. For two parameters, the solar minimum (Rmin) and rising rate (βa), which can be directly measured a few months after the minimum, a synthesis degree of similarity (ηs) is defined as the weighted-average of the η values around Rmin and βa with the weights given by the coefficients of determination of Rmax with Rmin and βa, respectively. The monthly values of the whole referenced cycle can be predicted by averaging the corresponding values in the most similar cycles with the weights given by the ηs values. Cycles 14 and 10 are found to be the two most similar cycles of Cycle 24. As an application, Cycle 24 is predicted to peak around January 2013{\pm}8 (months) with a size of about Rmax =83.0{\pm}16.7 and to end around September 2019.

description: We study a two-species bosonic Hubbard model on a two-dimensional square lattice by means of quantum Monte Carlo simulations and focus on finite temperature effects. We show in two different cases, ferro- and antiferromagnetic spin-spin interactions, that the phase diagram is composed of solid Mott phases, liquid phases and superfluid phases. In the antiferromagnetic case, the superfluid (SF) is polarized while the Mott insulator (MI) and normal Bose liquid (NBL) phases are not. On the other hand, in the ferromagnetic case, none of the phases is polarized. The superfluid-liquid transition is of the Berezinsky-Kosterlitz-Thouless type whereas the solid-liquid passage is a crossover.

description: We analyze nonlinear effects in optically driven arrays of nonlinear metallic nanoparticles. We demonstrate that such plasmonic systems are characterized by a bistable response, and they can support the propagation of dissipative switching waves (or plasmonic kinks) connecting the states with different polarization. We study numerically the properties of such plasmonic kinks which are characterized by a subwavelength extent and a tunable velocity.

description: Ten years after the tragic events of September 11, 2001, America is, in some aspects, a different country. Significant portions of the federal budget over the past decade have been spent on enhancing preparedness and security on the home front, and prosecuting terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan. As part of its American Preparedness Project, which has tracked US attitudes on domestic preparedness and terrorism over the last ten years, the National Center for Disaster Preparedness (NCDP) at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health recently surveyed the US population to determine their current attitudes and behaviors regarding disaster preparedness and the prospect of domestic terrorism. NCDP and the Children's Health Fund had conducted this survey annually from 2002 to 2008. As in prior years, the Marist Institute for Public Opinion (MIPO) executed a survey designed by NCDP and CHF. Also as before, the 2011 survey included a mix of previously-asked questions and new questions inspired by recent world events. Trended questions asked about confidence in government; extent of personal and family preparedness; and perceptions of community preparedness. All questions are shown in Table 1.

description: Black Americans served in the First World War, fighting for democracy both abroad and at home. They sought combat and leadership positions, both of which they were generally denied. Most African American soldiers remained stateside; those sent to Europe served mainly as laborers, often under deplorable conditions. There they fought racism more than Germans, seeing little combat.

description: Ireland’s war experience cannot be separated from Irish politics. Indeed, the story is not one of 1914-18 but of 1912-23, as the vast majority of people sought to change Ireland’s place in the United Kingdom, resisted by others who, though a minority, were concentrated in the area that would become Northern Ireland after the war. This article explores how both sides of the divide initially supported the war effort, but that following the Easter Rising of April 1916, opinion changed. Within this political context it considers Ireland’s military contribution, society and the economy, and how the war has been remembered.

Voices from the Killing Jar: for Voice and Sextet
Creators: name: Soper, Katharine P.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: Music

description: A killing jar is a tool used by entomologists to kill butterflies and other insects without damaging their bodies: a hermitically sealable glass container, lined with poison, in which the specimen will quickly suffocate. Voices from the Killing Jar is a seven movement work which depicts a series of female protagonists caught in their own kinds of killing jars: hopeless situations, inescapable fates, impossible fantasies, and other unlucky circumstances. Their jailers, the ones screwing the lid on tight, are sometimes friends or lovers, sometimes strangers, and sometimes themselves, their longings and ambitions and delusions. Voices from the Killing Jar visits these women only for a diary entry or a scene or a chapter in their lives, lets them speak for a moment, and then returns them to history and myth. The world in which these characters live for the span of this piece is constructed from among the countless possible sonic environments of the seven-member Wet Ink Core Ensemble, which includes: Kate Soper, soprano/clarinet/piano/percussion; Erin Lesser, flutes; Alex Mincek, clarinet/tenor saxophone; Ian Antonio, percussion; Eric Wubbels, piano; Sam Pluta, electronics player/baritone. Additional players may be used to accommodate the doubling in the case of performances by other ensembles (see instrumentation page).

description: The First World War marked the shift from a 19th century, relatively ''ad hoc'' management of prisoners of war, to the 20th century’s sophisticated prisoner of war camp systems, with their bureaucratic management, rationalization of the labour use of prisoners, and complex modern logistical and security apparatuses. It also led to transnational, global systems of captivity. This article will assess prisoner treatment throughout the war in a variety of theatres, looking at capture, the construction of camp systems, prisoner labour, humanitarianism, mistreatment, prisoner identity and repatriation and argue that, although standards varied, the overall trend was towards increased state control and modernization.
