Relation between Searches for Bitcoin and Searches for the Characteristics of Bitcoin Users in Canada
Creators: name: Garg, Manavi
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2019

description: Bitcoin has recently gained wide attention in the news and across different social media platforms. With this increasing interest in the cryptocurrency, there have been several purposes for which Bitcoin has been used by people from different backgrounds. This paper uses Google Trends to analyse the relation between search interest in Bitcoin and the users of the currency. The users of Bitcoin were grouped into four categories and data were obtained for the period 2015 – 2017, for seven Canadian provinces. After conducting the initial analysis to examine the relation, I further include data on Bitcoin prices, unemployment rate and a placebo clientele group to study the sensitivity of the results due to the inclusion of additional variables. Overall, the paper finds no evidence of a robust relation between search interest in Bitcoin and its users in Canada.

description: We present an approach to predict exclusive $W^+bW^-\bar{b}$ production at lepton colliders that correctly describes the top-anti-top threshold as well as the continuum region. We incorporate $t\bar{t}$ form factors for the NLL threshold resummation derived in NRQCD into a factorized relativistic cross section using an extended double-pole approximation, which accounts for fixed-order QCD corrections to the top decays at NLO. This is combined with the full fixed-order QCD result at NLO for $W^+bW^-\bar{b}$ production to obtain predictions that are not only valid at threshold but smoothly transition to the continuum region. Our implementation is based on the Monte Carlo event generator WHIZARD and the code TOPPIK and allows to compute fully-differential threshold-resummed cross sections including the interference with non-resonant background processes. For the first time it is now possible to systematically study general differential observables at future lepton colliders involving the decay products of the top quarks at energies close to the pair production threshold and beyond.

description: El presente capítulo reflexiona sobre la potencialidad de utilizar la institución procesal del principio de oportunidad con fines restaurativos. Basados en trabajo etnográfico en Tribunales de Tratamiento de Adicciones de México, se analiza y compara la regulación de la figura de la Suspensión del Procedimiento a Prueba en Colombia para proyectar dicha figura en claves restaurativa y terapéutica. Se demuestra que la utilización con fines restaurativos del proceso penal en general y de instituciones específicas es posible con decisiones de política criminal orientadas a la superación de modelos retribucionistas y el aprovechamiento con mirada restaurativa de las posibilidades existentes en la legislación actual.
description: This chapter considers the potentiality of using the institution of the Discretional Dismissal of the Charges by the prosecutor with restorative ends. The regulation of the Adjournment in contemplation of dismissal in Colombia is analysed departing from ethnographic fieldwork at Drug Treatment Courts in Mexico. The aim is to discuss if this institution could be used for restorative and therapeutic purposes. We show that is possible to use the criminal process for restorative ends if it involves Criminal Policy decisions aimed at overcoming retributionist models and taking advantage of the existing possibilities in current legislation with a restorative perspective.

description: Practicing software engineers have difficulty accessing state-of-the-practice technologies in a timely manner. As a result, software engineers frequently re-invent the technology. Fingertip information (project, state-of-the-practice, state-of-the-art, domain specific, etc.) should be provided so that software engineers perform their profession more effectively. The System for Access to Information and Learning (SAIL) approach on the Informedia Digital Video Library System (DVLS) demonstrates the feasibility of providing fingertip access to information and learning materials, using requirements elicitation as the technology base. Also, Informedia DVLS and the World Wide Web can supplement each other; by using the Web to gain access to certain areas of software engineering, we can begin to assemble libraries of technical information. Informedia DVLS can provide timely access to such information and can also be used to house current project materials.

description: Ship traffic in the Canadian Arctic nearly tripled between 1990 and 2015. Most of that increase happened in Nunavut waters. Corridors have been mapped in the Arctic Ocean as part of the Low Impact Shipping Corridors Initiative co-led by Transport Canada, the Canadian Coast Guard, and Canadian Hydrographic Service. Low impact shipping corridors are the current framework for governing shipping in the Canadian Arctic. The intent of the low impact shipping corridors is to reduce the likelihood of marine incidents by providing predictable levels of service to mariners transiting the corridors. Identification of Inuit and northerners’ perspectives on the potential impacts of marine vessels on marine areas used for cultural and livelihood activities, and on community members, and the inclusion of Inuit and northerners’ voices in the development of potential management strategies for the low impact shipping corridors and Arctic marine transportation are key considerations in the current prioritization of the corridors. This report reflects opinions gathered through participatory mapping, focus group discussions, and interviews with Pond Inlet community members who were identified by local organizations as key knowledge holders. Analyses were aimed at understanding Inuit and northerners’ perspectives on the potential impacts of marine transportation on local marine use areas and community members, and on identification of potential management strategies for the low impact shipping corridors and for Arctic marine vessels management. This report was validated by the research participants.

description: Introduction: There is a growing body of literature on the activities and competencies of implementation support practitioners (ISPs) and the outcomes of engaging ISPs to support implementation efforts. However, there remains limited knowledge about the experiences of implementation support recipients who engage with ISPs and how these experiences shape the trajectory of implementation and contribute to implementation outcomes. This study aimed to extend the research on ISPs by describing the experiences of professionals who received implementation support and inform our understanding of the mechanisms by which ISPs produce behavior change and contribute to implementation outcomes. Methods: Thirteen individuals with roles in supporting implementation efforts at a private foundation participated in semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using qualitative narrative analysis and episode profile analysis approaches. Iterative diagramming was used to visualize the pathway of experiences of implementation support recipients evidenced by the interview data. Results: The majority of recipients described how positive experiences and trusting relationships with ISPs increased acceptance of implementation science throughout the foundation and increased the perception of implementation science as both an appropriate and feasible approach for strengthening the impact of foundation strategies. As perceptions of appropriateness and feasibility increased, recipients of implementation support described increasing knowledge and application of implementation science in their funding engagements and internal foundation strategies. Finally, recipients reported that the application of implementation science across the foundation led to sustained implementation capacity and better outcomes. Discussion: The experiences of implementation support recipients described in this paper provide a source for further understanding the mechanisms of change for delivering effective implementation support leading to better implementation quality. Insights from these experiences can enhance our understanding for building implementation capacity and the rationales for evolving approaches that emphasize the dynamic, emotional, and highly relational nature of supporting others to use evidence in practice.

description: In response to a request from the DoD, an analysis of a Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) processor, the MIPS M/500, was performed. All aspects of processor capabilities and support software were evaluated, tested, and compared to familiar Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC) architectures. In all cases, the RISC computer and its support software performed better than a comparable CISC computer. This report provides the general and specific results of these analyses, along with the recommendation that the DoD and other government agencies seriously consider this or other RISC architectures as a highly viable and attractive alternative to the more familiar but less efficient CISC architectures.
Urban Water and Wastewater Privatization in China
Creators: name: Yang, YIng
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2016

description: In 1949, the People’s Republic of China was founded. The founding of the People’s Republic of China also established China as a command economy, which is a system in which the State, not the market, decides what goods are to be produced, how much of each good is produced, and the prices at which the goods are sold. Since the founding of the PRC and for thirty years, the State was in charge of the investment, construction, and operation of public utilities, such as roads, electricity, telecommunications, water, and wastewater. These public utilities were run by State-Owned-Enterprises (SOE’s), which received financial support exclusively from the central government. In 1979, the Chinese economic system underwent a seismic change when the government introduced its policy of “Separation of Government and Enterprises.” Following the introduction of this policy, public utilities – although they remained as SOE’s – were handed down to local governments. The responsibility and the operation of these public utilities now belonged to local governments. This paper presents the reform experience of China’s urban water and wastewater sector, and proposes a theoretical model for deciding whether a mater project should be privatized under a BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) concession. Using a set of cross section data on China’s major cities, a demand curve for water is estimated. From this market demand curve for a city and using the data on construction costs, operating, and maintenance costs as well as revenues for a water firm in Shenzhen, we calibrate the demand curve for water faced by this firm and its marginal cost. The calibrated model is then used to compute the social welfare obtained when the government chooses to privatize the water project under the form of a BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) concession for a period of 20 years during which the private water firm is granted monopoly power over a water market and the social welfare obtained when the government chooses to carry out the water project itself. The analysis does not favor privatization.

description: The surge in the use of female suicide bombers by Boko Haram since 2014 has received heightened attention, particularly after the abduction of 276 girls in Chibok, Borno State, Nigeria on 14 April 2014. It is believed that the abducted schoolgirls are coerced along with many other women and young girls into being suicide bombers by Boko Haram for Boko Haram. This phenomenon, therefore, creates a binary status for many of these suicide bombers – ‘victim-perpetrators’ under International Criminal Law. As victims - a target group of gender persecution, as a crime against humanity. As perpetrators - unwilling cocoons in the Boko Haram insurgency. Because the International Criminal Court is saddled with the prosecution of those ‘most responsible’ for international crimes, it is doubtful that suicide bombers would be prosecuted at the International Criminal Court. This leaves prosecution of suicide bombers to domestic courts. But domestic prosecutions would have to look to International Criminal Law for the adoption of internationally recognized standards in prosecuting international crimes. This article is a modest contribution to the field of gender and International Criminal Law. This piece offers an analysis of the crime of gender persecution. It interrogates the question of criminal responsibility or lack thereof for the women coerced into being Persone Borne Improvised Explosive Devices (PBIEDs.)

description: We investigate for quantum dynamics in phase-space regions containing ``shearless tori''. We show that the properties of these peculiar classical phase-space structures -- important to the dynamics of tokamaks -- may be exploited for quantum information applications. In particular we show that shearless tori permit the non-dispersive transmission of localized wavepackets. The quantum many-body Hamiltonian of a Heisenberg ferromagnetic spin chain, subjected to an oscillating magnetic field, can be reduced to a classical one-body ``image'' dynamical system which is the well-studied Harper map. The Harper map belongs to a class of Hamiltonian systems (non-twist maps) which contain shearless tori. We show that a variant with sinusoidal time driving ``driven Harper model'' produces shearless tori which are especially suitable for quantum state transfer. The behavior of the concurrence is investigated as an example.

description: Optimized syntheses of (E)-5-(2-ethoxyphenyl)-N-(3-(methylsulfonyl)allyl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxamide (RA-0002034, 1), a promising antiviral covalent cysteine protease inhibitor lead, were developed. The syntheses avoid the contamination of 1 with the inactive cyclic dihydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrazin-4(5H)-one 2, which is formed by the intramolecular aza-Michael reaction of the vinyl sulfone warhead under basic conditions and slowly at pH 7.4 in phosphate buffer. The pure cysteine protease inhibitor 1 could be synthesized using either modified amide coupling conditions or through the introduction of a MOM-protecting group and was stable as a TFA or HCl salt. Although acyclic 1 demonstrated poor pharmacokinetics with high in vivo clearance in mice, inactive cyclic 2 showed improved plasma exposure. The potential use of cyclic dihydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrazin-4(5H)-ones as prodrugs for the acyclic β-amidomethyl vinyl sulfone warhead was demonstrated by GSH capture experiments with an analog of 2.

description: National parks in Canada operate under the dual mandate of conserva- tion and visitor use, which involves balancing ecological integrity and nature-based tourism activities. Climate-induced environmental change may increase the existing tension between conservation and visitor use as major tourism resources located in protected areas (PAs) are pro- jected to undergo large-scale changes. This study draws upon the behavioural approach, scenario planning, and landscape visualizations to examine the relationship between climate change impacts, visitor perceptions, and visitor experience management at the Athabasca Glacier in Jasper National Park, Canada. Four tourism development scen- arios defined by two management drivers (ecological integrity and vis- itor demand) with corresponding storylines and visualizations were developed for 2050. The visualized scenarios were presented to visitors (n 1⁄4 304) in a survey to understand potential implications on visitor sat- isfaction. The results suggest that park managers need to find a balance between ecological integrity and visitor use in a way that ensures com- mercialized tourism development is limited, educational material is prioritized, and ecological integrity is maintained. While understanding the behaviour of future tourists is complex, it is a critical component of climate change adaptation planning and decision-making processes that needs to be prioritized by policymakers and PAs managers.

description: Any infinite uniformly recurrent word ${\bf u}$ can be written as concatenation of a finite number of return words to a chosen prefix $w$ of ${\bf u}$. Ordering of the return words to $w$ in this concatenation is coded by derivated word $d_{\bf u}(w)$. In 1998, Durand proved that a fixed point ${\bf u}$ of a primitive morphism has only finitely many derivated words $d_{\bf u}(w)$ and each derivated word $d_{\bf u}(w)$ is fixed by a primitive morphism as well. In our article we focus on Sturmian words fixed by a primitive morphism. We provide an algorithm which to a given Sturmian morphism $ψ$ lists the morphisms fixing the derivated words of the Sturmian word ${\bf u} = ψ({\bf u})$. We provide a sharp upper bound on length of the list.

description: Microbial respiration is a critical component of the marine carbon cycle, determining the proportion of fixed carbon that is subject to remineralization as opposed to being available for export to the ocean depths. Despite its importance, methodological constraints have led to an inadequate understanding of this process, especially in low-activity oligotrophic and mesopelagic regions. Here, we quantify respiration rates as low as 0.2 µmol O2 L-1 d-1 in contrasting ocean productivity provinces using oxygen optode sensors to identify size-fractionated respiration trends. In the low productivity region of the North Pacific Ocean at Station Papa, surface whole water microbial respiration was relatively stable at 1.2 µmol O2 L-1 d-1. Below the surface, there was a decoupling between respiration and bacterial production that coincided with increased phytodetritus and small phytoplankton. Size-fractionated analysis revealed that cells <5 µm were responsible for the majority of the respiration in the Pacific, both at the surface and below the mixed layer. At the North Atlantic Porcupine Abyssal Plain, surface whole water microbial respiration was higher (1.7 µmol O2 L-1 d-1) than in the Pacific and decreased by 3-fold below the euphotic zone. The Atlantic size-fraction contributions to total respiration shifted on the order of days during the evolution of a phytoplankton bloom with regular storm disturbances. The high-resolution optode method used in the Atlantic captured these significant shifts and is consistent with coinciding stain-based respiration methods and historical site estimates. This study highlights the dynamic nature of respiration across vertical, temporal, and size-fractionated factors, emphasizing the need for sensitive, high-throughput techniques to better understand ocean ecosystem metabolism.

description: Chiral electroweak anomalies predict fermion interactions that violate baryon ($B$) and lepton number ($L$), and can be dressed with large numbers of Higgs and gauge bosons. The estimation of the total $B+L$ violating rate from an initial two-particle state --potentially observable at colliders-- has been the subject of an intense discussion, mainly centered on the resummation of boson emission, which is believed to contribute to the cross-section with an exponential function of the energy, yet with an exponent (the "holy-grail" function) which is not fully known in the energy range of interest. In this article we focus instead on the effect of fermions beyond the Standard-Model (SM) in the polynomial contributions to the rate. It is shown that $B+L$ processes involving the new fermions have a polynomial contribution that can be several orders of magnitude greater than in the SM, for high centre-of-mass energies and light enough masses. We also present calculations that hint at a simple dependence of the holy grail function on the heavy fermion masses. Thus, if anomalous $B+L$ violating interactions are ever detected at high-energy colliders, they could be associated with new physics.

description: Hygrothermal simulation of bio-based materials requires heat or moisture storage and transfer properties. Even if their determination is defined in numerous standards, characterization implies uncertainties. In this work, we aim to evaluate the uncertainties in the determination of heat and moisture storage properties of light earth insulation materials and of their constitutive raw materials (hemp shiv and earth). Heat thermal capacity is evaluated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Sorption isotherm is evaluated by gravimetric methods. Attention is paid on protocols and methods, on the measurement repeatability or on the influence of drying temperature and relative humidity. Results show that uncertainties up to 10 % are noted for heat capacity, while they may rise up to 100 % for sorption isotherm. These values are compared to uncertainties due to material variability. In addition, a discussion is proposed regarding the validity of mixing law. Last, the consequences of all uncertainties are evaluated on the prediction of hygrothermal behavior of an existing wall insulated with light earth insulation materials.

description: Phase estimation algorithms are key protocols in quantum information processing. Besides applications in quantum computing, they can also be employed in metrology as they allow for fast extraction of information stored in the quantum state of a system. Here, we implement two suitably modified phase estimation procedures, the Kitaev- and the semiclassical Fourier-transform algorithms, using an artificial atom realized with a superconducting transmon circuit. We demonstrate that both algorithms yield a flux sensitivity exceeding the classical shot-noise limit of the device, allowing one to approach the Heisenberg limit. Our experiment paves the way for the use of superconducting qubits as metrological devices which are potentially able to outperform the best existing flux sensors with a sensitivity enhanced by few orders of magnitude.

description: Many types of organisms disperse through heterogeneous environments as part of their life histories. For various models of dispersal, including reaction-advection-diffusion models in continuously varying environments, it has been shown by pairwise invasibility analysis that dispersal strategies which generate an ideal free distribution are evolutionarily steady strategies (ESS, also known as evolutionarily stable strategies) and are neighborhood invader strategies (NIS). That is, populations using such strategies can both invade and resist invasion by populations using strategies that do not produce an ideal free distribution. (The ideal free distribution arises from the assumption that organisms inhabiting heterogeneous environments should move to maximize their fitness, which allows a mathematical characterization in terms of fitness equalization.) Classical reaction diffusion models assume that landscapes vary continuously. Landscape ecologists consider landscapes as mosaics of patches where individuals can make movement decisions at sharp interfaces between patches of different quality. We use a recent formulation of reaction-diffusion systems in patchy landscapes to study dispersal strategies by using methods inspired by evolutionary game theory and adaptive dynamics. Specifically, we use a version of pairwise invasibility analysis to show that in patchy environments, the behavioral strategy for movement at boundaries between different patch types that generates an ideal free distribution is both globally evolutionarily steady (ESS) and is a global neighborhood invader strategy (NIS).

description: Satisfaction with an intervention influences the uptake of behavior changes and the long-term efficacy of the intervention. Therefore, it is crucial to assess satisfaction by participant profile when creating and adapting behavior interventions for minoritized populations. Qualitative and quantitative data on participant trauma symptom severity and intervention satisfaction were collected through self-report surveys from 54 women. The sample was 59.3% Hispanic, with an average age of 33.21 (SD = 10.42), who were in residential treatment for substance use disorders (SUDs) and participated in a 12-session mindfulness-based intervention. Qualitative responses were coded using thematic analysis, and an integrative mixed-methods approach was used to compare qualitative theme frequency between high-trauma (N = 28) and low-trauma (N = 26) groups at session 2 and session 11. High- and low-trauma groups were determined by interquartile ranges (bottom 25% = low; top 75% = high). In session 2, the low-trauma group reported significantly higher satisfaction (M = 4.20, SD = 0.55) than the high-trauma group (M = 3.77, SD = 0.89); t(43) = 1.90, p = 0.03. In session 11, there was no significant difference between groups. The mixed-methods analysis revealed that “trouble focusing” appeared more frequently in the high-trauma group than in the low-trauma group during session 2, but the theme was not present in either group at session 11, suggesting that this might pose an initial barrier for individuals with high trauma but subsides as the intervention progresses. This speaks to the importance of retention strategies tailored for participants with SUDs and high trauma while they adjust to the intervention. Assessing initial challenges with satisfaction may help facilitators intervene to increase participant satisfaction.

description: Uterotonics are essential in preventing postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), the leading direct cause of maternal death worldwide. However, uterotonics are often substandard in low- and middle-income countries, contributing to poor maternal health outcomes. This study examines the health and economic impact of substandard uterotonics in Ghana. A decision-tree model was built to simulate vaginal and cesarean section births across health facilities, uterotonic quality and utilization, PPH risk and diagnosis, and resulting health and economic outcomes. We utilized delivery data from Ghana’s maternal health survey, risks of health outcomes from a Cochrane review, and E-MOTIVE trial data for health outcomes related to oxytocin quality. We compared scenarios with and without substandard uterotonics, as well as scenarios altering uterotonic use and care-seeking behaviors. We found that substandard uterotonic use contributes to $18.8 million in economic burden annually, including $6.3 million and $4.8 million in out-of-pocket expenditures in public and private sectors, respectively. Annually, the National Health Insurance Scheme bears $1.6 million in costs due to substandard uterotonic use. Substandard uterotonics contribute to $6 million in long-term productivity losses from maternal mortality annually. Improving the quality of uterotonics could reduce 20,000 (11%) PPH cases, 5,000 (11%) severe PPH cases, and 100 (11%) deaths due to PPH annually in Ghana. Ensuring the quality of uterotonics would result in millions of dollars in cost savings and improve maternal health outcomes for the government and families in Ghana. Cost savings from improving uterotonic quality would provide financial protection and help Ghana advance toward Universal Health Coverage.

description: Integrodifference equations are discrete-time cousins of reaction-diffusion equations. Like their continuous-time counterparts, they are used to model spreading phenomena in ecology and other sciences. Unlike their continuous-time counterparts, even scalar integrodifference equations can exhibit nonmonotone dynamics. Few authors studied the existence of spreading speeds and traveling waves in the nonmonotone case; previous numerical simulations indicated the existence of traveling two-cycles. Our numerical observations indicate the presence of several spreading speeds and multiple traveling wave profiles in these equations. We generalize the concept of a spreading speed to encompass this situation and prove the existence of such generalized spreading speeds and associated traveling waves in the corresponding second-iterate operator. Our numerical simulations let us conjecture that these spreading speeds could be linearly determined. We prove the existence of bistable traveling waves in a related second-iterate operator. We relate our results to the existence of stacked waves and to dynamical stabilization.
