description: More than 2300 detrital zircon uranium-lead (U-Pb) ages, 32 6Hf/177Hf (£Hf) isotopic values, 37 apatite helium (AHe) ages, and 72 zircon helium (ZHe) ages rep­resent the first in-depth geochronologic and thermochronologic study of Franklinian Basin strata in the Canadian Arctic and provide new insight on >500 M.y. of geologic history along the northern Laurentian margin (modern orientation). Detrital zircon U-Pb age data demonstrate that the Franklinian Basin succession is composed of strata with three distinctly different provenance signatures. Neoproterozoic and Lower Cambri­an formations contain detrital zircon populations consistent with derivation from Archean to Paleoproterozoic gneisses and granites of the west Greenland-northeast Canadian Shield. Lower Silurian to Middle Devonian strata are primarily derived from foreland basin strata of the East Greenland Caledonides (Caledonian orogen). Middle Devonian to Upper Devonian strata also contain detrital zircon populations interpreted as being primarily northerly derived from the continental landmass responsible for the Ellesme­rian Orogen ( often referred to as Crockerland). U-Pb age data from basal turbidites of the Middle to Upper Devonian elastic succession suggest Crockerland contributed sedi­ment to the northern Laurentian margin by early-Middle Devonian time and that prior to the Ellesmerian Orogeny Crockerland had a comparable geologic history to the northern Baltica Craton. Detrital zircon U-Pb ages in Upper Devonian strata suggest Crockerland became the dominant source by the end of Franklinian Basin sedimentation. Mean £Hf values from Paleozoic detrital zircon derived from Crockerland sug­gest the zircons were primarily formed in either an island arc or continental arc built on accreted oceanic crust setting. ZHe cooling ages from Middle and Upper Devonian strata were not buried deeper than 7 km since deposition and suggest Crockerland was partially exhumed during the Caledonian Orogen. AHe cooling ages are partially reset since deposition and experienced varying burial histories depending on stratigraphic and geographic location within the basin. AHe ages from Middle Devonian strata from the western margin of the basin indicate episodes of exhumation associated with elastic in­fluxes of sediment into the Sverdrup Basin during the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous and Late Cretaceous.
Application of electrospun carbon nanofibres for batteries and supercapacitors

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: With the great demand for energy storage devices with much higher energy density, better power performance and longer cycle life, researchers are looking into nano-structured battery and supercapacitor electrodes due to the higher accessibility of ions to electrodes, improved specific capacitance, and reduced chance of mechanical degradation compared to bulk materials. In this study, a composite system of conductive carbon nanofibres with active materials (polypyrrole and silicon nanoparticles) are fabricated for supercapacitor and lithium ion battery electrode applications. The aim is to use carbon as a strong mechanical and electrical support and the high energy storage capability of active materials to develop new generation electrode systems. Carbon nanofibres with 3.9±0.5×10² nm in diameter are fabricated from a copolymer precursor, poly(acrylonitrile-co-acrylamide), through electrospinning and carbonization. The mild exothermic heat reaction of this copolymer and the enhanced heat flow into nano-scaled fibres during stabilization permits fabrication of high quality and large-scale carbon nanofibre mats with reasonable conductivity (18±1 S/cm), high porosity, and high accessible surface area. Carbon nanofibres are subsequently deposited on electrochemically with polypyrrole for 4 and 8 hours for use as a supercapacitor electrode. Capacity is compared with that of a bulk polypyrrole film. Both systems possess a gravimetric capacity of ca. 150 F/g, but an enhanced volumetric capacity in the nanofibrous electrode (9±1×10⁷ F/m³ for nanofibres vs. 6.0±0.5×10⁷ F/m³ for film) at greater amount of polypyrole deposition (8 hour deposition) is observed. The porous nanofibrous system also reduces the ionic resistance from that of the pure polypyrrole film, which is at least 1.9±0.8×10²Ω, to just 2 – 3 Ω at the highly reduced state. In lithium ion battery applications, a core-shell electrospinning method is used to fabricate carbon nanofibres containing silicon nanoparticles in the core. The core-shell structural advantage over non-core-shell structure observed to be in the prevention of silicon particle fusion and reduced breakage after interacting with lithium ions. At 30 wt% nanoparticle loading, both systems can reach over 1000 mAh/g initial capacity at 100 – 600 mA/g cycle rates. After 20 cycles, the capacity retention of Si in most core-shell systems are significantly higher than that of the non-core-shell system by ca. 10 – 20 %. Further optimization is required to improve the cycle life and electrode stability.

description: The plant-pollinator mutualism can be disrupted in isolated populations. This relation also critically affects directional selection on floral traits. Isolated plant populations may attract fewer and less diverse pollinators, and plants may compete for pollination within the population and with other co-flowering plant species , possibly selecting for increased number of flowers in the floral display. In this thesis, I characterized the major pollinators of Plectritis congesta ( or Sea blush), to study the effects of isolation on the Gulflslands and Vancouver Island. I found that: (1) site connectivity is a major determinant of the pollinator assemblage; (2) population density is correlated with floral display, visitation rates, and possibly pollinator assemblage, whereas competition from co-flowering species is not; and (3) both floral display and geographical elements that control pollinator abundance and composition influence the potential for selfing, and pollinator composition could impose selection for increased floral display in isolated populations.
Isovector part of nuclear energy density functional from chiral two- and three-nucleon forces

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: A recent calculation of the nuclear energy density functional from chiral two- and three-nucleon forces is extended to the isovector terms pertaining to different proton and neutron densities. An improved density-matrix expansion is adapted to the situation of small isospin-asymmetries and used to calculate in the Hartree-Fock approximation the density-dependent strength functions associated with the isovector terms. The two-body interaction comprises of long-range multi-pion exchange contributions and a set of contact terms contributing up to fourth power in momenta. In addition, the leading order chiral three-nucleon interaction is employed with its parameters fixed in computations of nuclear few-body systems. With this input one finds for the asymmetry energy of nuclear matter the value $A(ρ_0) \simeq 26.5\,$MeV, compatible with existing semi-empirical determinations. The strength functions of the isovector surface and spin-orbit coupling terms come out much smaller than those of the analogous isoscalar coupling terms and in the relevant density range one finds agreement with phenomenological Skyrme forces. The specific isospin- and density-dependences arising from the chiral two- and three-nucleon interactions can be explored and tested in neutron-rich systems.

description: Recent indications of a 125 GeV Higgs boson are challenging for gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking (GMSB), since radiative contributions to the Higgs boson mass are not enhanced by significant stop mixing. This challenge should not be considered in isolation, however, as GMSB also generically suffers from two other problems: unsuppressed electric dipole moments and the absence of an attractive dark matter candidate. We show that all of these problems may be simultaneously solved by considering heavy superpartners, without extra fields or modified cosmology. Multi-TeV sfermions suppress the EDMs and raise the Higgs mass, and the dark matter problem is solved by Goldilocks cosmology, in which TeV neutralinos decay to GeV gravitinos that are simultaneously light enough to solve the flavor problem and heavy enough to be all of dark matter. The implications for collider searches and direct and indirect dark matter detection are sobering, but EDMs are expected near their current bounds, and the resulting non-thermal gravitino dark matter is necessarily warm, with testable cosmological implications.

Competition and Insurance Twenty Years Later
Creators: name: Stiglitz, Joseph E.
name: Rothschild, Michael
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1997
Subjects: Economics

description: We are honored to address the European Group of Risk and Insurance Economists and will take the opportunity to make some reflections on the rather uneasy relationship between insurance and competition. Economists generally prescribe competition as a solution for markets that do not work well. Competition allocates resources efficiently and encourages innovation and attention to what customers want. Insurance markets differ from most other markets because in insurance markets competition can destroy the market rather than make it work better. One of the dimensions along which insurance companies compete is underwriting--trying to ensure that the risks covered are "good" risks or that if a high risk is insured, the premium charged is at least commensurate with the potential cost. The resulting partitioning of risk limits the amount of insurance that potential insurance customers can buy. In the extreme case, such competitive behavior will destroy the insurance market altogether. A simple model illustrates.

description: The migration of pastoralists in West Africa in search of resources has gone on for centuries, but the establishment of bases in southern West Africa begun in the 1970s and has often been met with various levels of local resistance. In Ghana, herders mostly live in the grasslands and coastal savannas. Relations with locals have been mixed, but typically tense. This study adopts a place approach to explore local-herder notions of space and place, the herder influx, livelihoods, territoriality, resource seeking and conflict resolution. Utilising the Sustainable Livelihoods framework (Ashley & Carney, 2001) and Alexander's (2008) Mediation Metamodel, the study explores how to diffuse conflict and improve livelihoods. Herder-local notions of spatial concepts are characterised by disconnect which explains the herder influx and local chagrin over the matter. Herders utilise five types of alliances to move into an area including Alhaji and Yusuf These alliances influence herders' territorialit regarding power and resource access. It appears that the herders' impact on resource access and livelihoods is exaggerated, but crop damage from herder cattle is a significant threat. The causes of conflict have been grouped into core and peripheral, where the core produce conflict and magnify peripheral issues. However, the link between core and peripheral issues is contingent on leadership. With increasing herder settlement, it is critical to manage the situation in a manner that redistributes power and protects stakeholders' livelihoods. The study also recommends the Herder-Local lvf_ediatio11 and Resources and Livelihoods frameworks respectively, to manage herder-local relations and further livelihoods.

description: A spectroscopic study of the amino functionalization of double-walled carbon nanotube (DWCNT) is performed. Original experimental investigations by near edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy at the C and O K-edges allow one to follow the efficiency of the chemistry during the different steps of covalent functionalization. Combined with Raman spectroscopy, the characterization gives a direct evidence of the grafting of amino-terminated molecules on the structural defects of the DWCNT external wall, whereas the internal wall does not undergo any change. Structural and mechanical investigation of the amino functionalized DWCNT / epoxy composites show coupling between epoxy molecules and the DWCNTs. Functionalization improves the interface between amino-functionalized DWCNT and the epoxy molecules. The electrical transport measurements indicate a percolating network formed only by inner metallic tubes of the DWCNTs. The activation energy of the barriers between connected metallic tubes is determined around 20 meV.

description: Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by low bone quality and increased risk of fracture. In order to improve osteoporosis treatment, it is essential to monitor bone quality and its changes over time in healthy, diseased and treated bones. V/ith the recent development of in vivo high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) it became possible to capture bone micro-architecture, an important determinant of bone quality, in humans. The aim of this dissertation was to propose new ways to analyze the resulting time series of three-dimensional (3D) image data to gain novel insight into bone behaviour. In a first step. a novel method for tracking and predicting micro-architectural changes using deformable image registration was validated. Applied to an osteoporotic and healthy pre-clinical model, this study demonstrated successful prediction of 3D archi­tecture based on a time series of images without knowledge of disease state. Prior to extending the monitoring of changes to human bone, the problem of subject motion artifacts in HR-pQCT imaging was addressed. An automatic, fast and objective method was developed to quantify three separate components of subject motion using projection data. \i\Tith this tool, guidelines for image quality management in the pres­ence of subject motion were established. Understanding and managing these artifacts is pivotal for guaranteeing consistent image quality in large multi-centre studies. In ad­dition to motion quantification, a novel method for compensating movement artifacts was developed. The proposed method for motion compensation paves the way for future research into improving image quality, potentially increasing viable data benefiting drug trials and studies of rare diseases with small sample sizes. Lastly, in order to monitor bone micro-architecture changes in humans, an automated registration methodology was devised to align 3D HR-pQCT images and techniques to visualize local architectural changes were developed. It was possible to visualize local changes due to normal bone remodelling, and in response to osteoporosis treatment, aiding interpretation of changes in traditional bone quality parameters. The developed methods form the foundation for tracking bone adaptation over time, ultimately further­ing our understanding of bone mechanisms in humans.
Labor-Market Adjustments and the Persistence of Unemployment

Year: 1995
Subjects: Economics

description: Persistent unemployment, like that plaguing Europe since the early 1980's, has been a persistent problem for economic theory. Competitive equilibrium theory assumes that all markets clear, including the labor market. All theories of unemployment thus must reflect significant departures from that paradigm. The last 20 years have generated a plethora of such theories. The challenge is to construct models that generate unemployment and are broadly consistent with a host of other labor and macroeconomic phenomena, including patterns of real wages and hours. The traditional approach is to focus on a simple static equilibrium in which wages are kept above their market-clearing level for a variety of reasons: in the older versions of this story minimum wages, union power and normative traditions; in its more recent incarnations, efficiency-wage considerations. Within the United States, the older variants of these models have received decreasing credence, as union power has eroded, the real value of the minimum wage has declined and empirical evidence has buttressed a broader set of theoretical arguments based on imperfect competition within the labor market and efficiency-wage considerations suggesting at most negligible effects from these government interventions.
Boxicity of graphs on surfaces

description: The boxicity of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is the least integer $k$ for which there exist $k$ interval graphs $G_i=(V,E_i)$, $1 \le i \le k$, such that $E=E_1 \cap ... \cap E_k$. Scheinerman proved in 1984 that outerplanar graphs have boxicity at most two and Thomassen proved in 1986 that planar graphs have boxicity at most three. In this note we prove that the boxicity of toroidal graphs is at most 7, and that the boxicity of graphs embeddable in a surface $Σ$ of genus $g$ is at most $5g+3$. This result yields improved bounds on the dimension of the adjacency poset of graphs on surfaces.

description: This thesis argues that existing accounts of variation in child care policy fail to systematically address, define, and measure the ways in which child care policy arrangements vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Comparative studies of child care policy rely on broad or general descriptions of variation in child care policy that fail to provide a systematic comparative framework for understanding the extent, nature, and complexity of this variation. Drawing on comparative data measuring child care in the Canadian provinces, and a qualitative case study of child care policy in Alberta, I argue that child care policy arrangements display many inconsistencies and conflicting ideas that cannot be easily described and classified. This finding has important implications for the methods and theories used to describe and understand variation in child care policy.

Using argumentation in text generation

description: Text generation is a field of artificial intelligence aiming at producing computer models of natural language production. This paper discusses the use of the theory of ‘Argumentation in Language’ in the field of Text Generation. Most text generators follow the same sequence of steps to produce a coherent paragraph: content determination - selecting of information to include in the text from an underlying computer database; content organization - structuring of the propositions to be included in the text according to an appropriate rhetorical plan; finally lexical choice and syntactic realization - phrasing of the information using appropriate lexical items and syntactically correct constructions. The paper provides examples of the use of argumentative features to influence the generator's decisions throughout the generation process. The introduction of argumentative features allows the designer of a text generator to account for linguistic decisions that were not addressed in previous work, such as the selection of judgment determiners (many, few), scalar adjectives (interesting, difficult), connotative verbs (require, necessitate, enjoy, struggle) and connectives (but, therefore). Argumentative features are also used to organize the paragraph in a coherent manner. They are finally used to select appropriate information from a database to satisfy a given persuasive goal. The paper shows how the same descriptive device - the topoi introduced by Anscombre and Ducrot - can serve as the unifying representation level during the whole generation process and build a bridge between the conceptual and linguistic components of the generator.

description: Certain membrane proteins, peptides, nanoparticles and nanotubes have rigid structure and fixed shape. They are often viewed as spheres and cylinders with certain surface properties. Single Chain Mean Field theory is used to model the equilibrium insertion of nanoscale spheres and rods into the phospholipid bilayer. The equilibrium structures and the resulting free energies of the nano-objects in the bilayer allow to distinguish different orientations in the bilayer and estimate the energy barrier of insertion.

description: This dissertation study focused on how leadership provided within Family Preservation services influenced client outcomes. A narrow focus on evidence­based client interventions has failed to adequately account for the benefits that individuals receiving services experience. The lack of any theoretical work that could explain the relationship between work unit leadership and client outcomes from a human services perspective led to a focus on developing a theoretical model utilizing Grounded Theory methodology. An analysis of the experiences of workers, their leaders and the clients they served resulted in a Grounded Theory of Supportive Leadership in Child and Family Services. According to the proposed theory, improving client outcomes requires; (1) the availability of Supportive Leadership grounded in valuing trust­based relationships, a focus on clients' best interests, and supporting worker autonomy; (2) other sources of support through teammates and the organization as a whole that complement a leader's support; (3) a focus on building trust and relationship with clients that then facilitates the more technical aspect of doing of the work; (3) an acknowledgement of the critical role that relationships, common values and experiences of support play across all levels of organization; and (4) an understanding of how the environmental context within which services are delivered can influence efforts to achieve outcomes. This research suggests that trying to improve client outcomes by focusing solely on the more technical aspects of interventions is likely to fall short in the absence of Supportive Leadership regardless of the evidence base to support an intervention's effectiveness. This dissertation offers a framework for providing Supportive Leadership within a human services context. The framework is consistent with current research on family-centered practice, clinical supervision, and organizational development and points towards possibilities for greater integration between these three lines of inquiry. While it diverges from current theoretical models in organizational and leadership literature, it could support the refinement of existing models as well as provide opportunities for applying the emerging Science of Complexity to the study of human services organizations.

Combining corpus and machine-readable dictionary data for building bilingual lexicons

Subjects: Computer science

description: This paper describes and discusses some theoretical and practical problems arising from developing a system to combine the structured but incomplete information from machine readable dictionaries (MRDs) with the unstructured but more complete information available in corpora for the creation of a bilingual lexical data base, presenting a methodology to integrate information from both sources into a single lexical data structure. The BICORD system (BIlingual CORpus-enhanced Dictionaries) involves linking entries in Collins English-French and French-English bilingual dictionary with a large English-French and French-English bilingual corpus. We have concentrated on the class of action verbs of movement, building on earlier work on lexical correspondences specific to this verb class between languages (Klavans and Tzoukermann, 1989), (Klavans and Tzoukermann, 1990a), (Klavans and Tzoukermann, 1990b). We first examine the way prototypical verbs of movement are translated in the Collins-Robert (Atkins, Duval, and Milne, 1978) bilingual dictionary, and then analyze the behavior of some of these verbs in a large bilingual corpus. We incorporate the results of linguistic research on the theory of verb types to motivate corpus analysis coupled with data from MRDs for the purpose of establishing lexical correspondences with the full range of associated translations, and with statistical data attached to the relevant nodes.

description: Understanding the potential impacts of hydrologic changes on nutrient loading within a system is paramount to developing adaptation strategies. This case study investigates the impact of varying hydrologic conditions on water quality within the South Platte River Basin in northeastern Colorado. 80% of Colorado's population lives within the South Platte River Basin in addition to providing water for the most productive agricultural landscape in the state. Nutrient concentrations within the river basin depend on seasonality, land type, land use management practices, and point source inputs from wastewater treatment plants. The river basin contains mountainous, urban, and agricultural settings which, in combination with the semi-arid climate of the South Platte River Basin, produces the potential for droughts, fires, and floods to cause significant changes on the hydrology of the river. This study analyzed nutrient data from mountain, urban, and agricultural settings under various stream flow conditions which were present during the period of record. The hypotheses of this study were that water quality is related to stream flow during the time of sampling, the stream flow preceding the sampling date, as well as a relation with the dominant land cover classification of the area immediately upstream of the sampling location. The impact of extreme events, such as drought and fire, on water quality were also investigated. This talk will explore results of these investigations as well as some of the limiting factors such as data availability for long term studies in Colorado.
