description: Background
                Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) was the predominant leukemia in a recent study of Chornobyl cleanup workers from Ukraine exposed to radiation (UR-CLL). Radiation risks of CLL significantly increased with increasing bone marrow radiation doses. Current analysis aimed to clarify whether the increased risks were due to radiation or to genetic mutations in the Ukrainian population.

                Methods
                A detailed characterization of the genomic landscape was performed in a unique sample of 16 UR-CLL patients and age- and sex-matched unexposed general population Ukrainian-CLL (UN-CLL) and Western-CLL (W-CLL) patients (n = 28 and 100, respectively).

                Results
                Mutations in telomere-maintenance pathway genes POT1 and ATM were more frequent in UR-CLL compared to UN-CLL and W-CLL (both p

description: We present first results from the 3D-HST program, a near-IR spectroscopic survey performed with the Wide Field Camera 3 on the Hubble Space Telescope. We have used 3D-HST spectra to measure redshifts and Halpha equivalent widths for a stellar mass-limited sample of 34 galaxies at 110^11 M(sun) in the COSMOS, GOODS, and AEGIS fields. We find that a substantial fraction of massive galaxies at this epoch are forming stars at a high rate: the fraction of galaxies with Halpha equivalent widths >10 A is 59%, compared to 10% among SDSS galaxies of similar masses at z=0.1. Galaxies with weak Halpha emission show absorption lines typical of 2-4 Gyr old stellar populations. The structural parameters of the galaxies, derived from the associated WFC3 F140W imaging data, correlate with the presence of Halpha: quiescent galaxies are compact with high Sersic index and high inferred velocity dispersion, whereas star-forming galaxies are typically large two-armed spiral galaxies, with low Sersic index. Some of these star forming galaxies might be progenitors of the most massive S0 and Sa galaxies. Our results challenge the idea that galaxies at fixed mass form a homogeneous population with small scatter in their properties. Instead we find that massive galaxies form a highly diverse population at z>1, in marked contrast to the local Universe.

description: We revisit how super-Hubble cosmological fluctuations induce, at any time in the cosmic history, a non-vanishing spatial curvature of the local background metric. The random nature of these fluctuations promotes the curvature density parameter to a stochastic quantity for which we derive novel non-perturbative expressions for its mean, variance, higher moments and full probability distribution. For scale-invariant Gaussian perturbations, such as those favored by cosmological observations, we find that the most probable value for the curvature density parameter $Ω_\mathrm{K}$ today is $-10^{-9}$, that its mean is $+10^{-9}$, both being overwhelmed by a standard deviation of order $10^{-5}$. We then discuss how these numbers would be affected by the presence of large super-Hubble non-Gaussianities, or, if inflation lasted for a very long time. In particular, we find that substantial values of $Ω_\mathrm{K}$ are obtained if inflation lasts for more than a billion e-folds.

Productivity analysis of silvicultural treatments in cedar and hemlock stands on northern Vancouver Island
Creators: name: Nery, Victor Ramirez
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Due to many favourable characteristics such as a moist and mild climate year round, the absence of fire or a major insect infestation and disease, the coastal coniferous forests of northern Vancouver Island are among the most productive forests in British Columbia. However, the productivity rates can vary in a mosaic pattern of two very distinctive forest types: low-productivity “CH” and medium-productivity “HA”. In 1987-88 a trial was established to analyse growth effects of fertilization on western red cedar (Thuja plicata Donn ex D. Don) and western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.) at these two different sites. Previous projects measured the height and the DBH after 10 and 15 growing seasons, and have been recently re-measured again after 22 years since establishment. Fertilizer was applied three times after planting; stand density was established at: 500, 1500 and 2500 stems/ha. Fertilization significantly increased the height and volume of both species at all treatment. Depending on the site fertility and treatment used, the stand volume of fertilized red cedar increased from 123% to 351% and fertilized hemlock volume increased from 106% to 2190% compared to the non-fertilized counterparts. In most cases, higher densities had much greater volume per hectare than lower density stands; however, density caused a significant decrease in the average height of both species at CH sites. Biomass and carbon content were also estimated in this study. Results indicated a positive growth response of total biomass generated by fertilization. CH sites have shown the best increment response to fertilization; however, averages were still low if compared to HA sites. Overall, the best treatments were found to be high density fertilized hemlock stands on HA sites. This treatment not only had the greatest height, volume and biomass, but was also the most efficient for C capture. After 22 growing seasons, the results of this research reinforces the idea that fertilization is a reliable and effective tool to increase nutrient availability and productivity of these forests; it suggests that the focus of silvicultural treatments such as fertilization and increased stand density should be directed mostly towards the more productive HA sites.

description: Displaced adolescent girls and women face many challenges managing their monthly menstrual flow with dignity and comfort in various challenging settings around the world, such as refugee camps, informal settlements, and while in transit across geographies as they flee disaster or conflict. Menstrual hygiene management requires easy access to safe, private water and sanitation facilities, along with appropriate menstrual materials and supplies, discreet disposal and waste management, and basic information on menstrual hygiene for displacement contexts. Yet, a significant gap exists in terms of available guidance on effective, coordinated multi-sectoral approaches for a complete menstrual hygiene management response. This paper describes one effort to address this gap, the development and pilot testing of the Menstrual Hygiene Management in Emergencies Toolkit in three camps hosting Burundian and Congolese refugees in Northwest Tanzania. Multiple methods were used to evaluate the implementation of the toolkit, which included a process and endline evaluation. Key findings included the identification of content gaps in the draft toolkit, the mapping out of a training and capacity building approaches needed for integrating menstrual hygiene management into ongoing programming, the relevancy and appropriateness of the guidance prescribed, and the potential for novel approaches to be identified by both water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and non-WASH sector actors subsequent to sufficient training. Important lessons from this exercise may be useful for the introduction of MHM programming into future global humanitarian response efforts.

description: We consider the dynamics of Q-learning in two-player two-action games with a Boltzmann exploration mechanism. For any non-zero exploration rate the dynamics is dissipative, which guarantees that agent strategies converge to rest points that are generally different from the game's Nash Equlibria (NE). We provide a comprehensive characterization of the rest point structure for different games, and examine the sensitivity of this structure with respect to the noise due to exploration. Our results indicate that for a class of games with multiple NE the asymptotic behavior of learning dynamics can undergo drastic changes at critical exploration rates. Furthermore, we demonstrate that for certain games with a single NE, it is possible to have additional rest points (not corresponding to any NE) that persist for a finite range of the exploration rates and disappear when the exploration rates of both players tend to zero.

description: The dynamic response of a gas bubble entrapped in a cavity on the surface of a submerged solid subject to an acoustic field is investigated in the linear approximation. We derive semi-analytical expressions for the resonance frequency, damping and interface shape of the bubble. For the liquid phase, we consider two limit cases: potential flow and unsteady Stokes flow. The oscillation frequency and interface shape are found to depend on two dimensionless parameters: the ratio of the gas stiffness to the surface tension stiffness, and the Ohnesorge number, representing the relative importance of viscous forces. We perform a parametric study and show, among others, that an increase in the gas pressure or a decrease in the surface tension leads to an increase in the resonance frequency until an asymptotic value is reached.

description: Precise ischemic lesion segmentation plays an essential role in improving diagnosis and treatment planning for ischemic stroke, one of the prevalent diseases with the highest mortality rate. While numerous deep neural network approaches have recently been proposed to tackle this problem, these methods require large amounts of annotated regions during training, which can be impractical in the medical domain where annotated data is scarce. As a remedy, we present a prototypical few-shot segmentation approach for ischemic lesion segmentation using only one annotated sample during training. The proposed approach leverages a novel self-supervised training mechanism that is tailored to the task of ischemic stroke lesion segmentation by exploiting color-coded parametric maps generated from Computed Tomography Perfusion scans. We illustrate the benefits of our proposed training mechanism, leading to considerable improvements in performance in the few-shot setting. Given a single annotated patient, an average Dice score of 0.58 is achieved for the segmentation of ischemic lesions.

description: Background
                The 2014/2015 Ebolavirus outbreak resulted in more than 28,000 cases and 11,323 reported deaths, as of March 2016. Domestic transmission of the Guinea strain associated with the outbreak occurred mainly in six African countries, and international transmission was reported in four countries. Outbreak management was limited by the inability to rapidly diagnose infected cases. A further fifteen countries in Africa are predicted to be at risk of Ebolavirus outbreaks in the future as a consequence of climate change and urbanization. Early detection of cases and reduction of transmission rates is critical to prevent and manage future severe outbreaks. We designed a rapid assay for detection of Ebolavirus using recombinase polymerase amplification, a rapid isothermal amplification technology that can be combined with portable lateral flow detection technology. The developed rapid assay operates in 30 min and was comparable with real-time TaqMan™ PCR.

                Methods
                Designed, screened, selected and optimized oligonucleotides using the NP coding region from Ebola Zaire virus (Guinea strain). We determined the analytical sensitivity of our Ebola rapid molecular test by testing selected primers and probe with tenfold serial dilutions (1.34 × 1010− 1.34 × 101 copies/μL) of cloned NP gene from Mayinga strain of Zaire ebolavirus in pCAGGS vector, and serially diluted cultured Ebolavirus as established by real-time TaqMan™ PCR that was performed using ABI7500 in Fast Mode. We tested extracted and reverse transcribed RNA from cultured Zaire ebolavirus strains – Mayinga, Gueckedou C05, Gueckedou C07, Makona, Kissidougou and Kiwit. We determined the analytical specificity of our assay with related viruses: Marburg, Ebola Reston and Ebola Sudan. We further tested for Dengue virus 1–4, Plasmodium falciparum and West Nile Virus (Kunjin strain).

                Results
                The assay had a detection limit of 134 copies per μL of plasmid containing the NP gene of Ebolavirus Mayinga, and cultured Ebolavirus and was highly specific for the Zaire ebolavirus species, including the Guinea strain responsible for the 2014/2015 outbreak. The assay did not detect related viruses like Marburg, Reston, or Sudan viruses, and other pathogens likely to be isolated from clinical samples.

                Conclusions
                Our assay could be suitable for implementation in district and primary health laboratories, as only a heating block and centrifuge is required for operation. The technique could provide a pathway for rapid screening of patients and animals for improved management of outbreaks.

description: We propose a strategy for greedy sampling in the context of non-intrusive interpolation-based surrogate modeling for frequency-domain problems. We rely on a non-intrusive and cheap error indicator to drive the adaptive selection of the high-fidelity samples on which the surrogate is based. We develop a theoretical framework to support our proposed indicator. We also present several practical approaches for the termination criterion that is used to end the greedy sampling iterations. To showcase our greedy strategy, we numerically test it in combination with the well-known Loewner framework. To this effect, we consider several benchmarks, highlighting the effectiveness of our adaptive approach in approximating the transfer function of complex systems from few samples.

description: The 2008 Federal Communication Commission (FCC) ruling in the United States opened up new opportunities for unlicensed operation in the TV white space spectrum. Networking protocols over the TV white spaces promise to subdue the shortcomings of existing short- range multi-hop wireless architectures and protocols by offering more availability, wider bandwidth, and longer-range communication. The TV white space protocols are the enabling technologies for sensing and monitoring, Internet-of-Things (IoT), wireless broadband access, real- time, smart and connected community, and smart utility applications. In this presentation, we perform a retrospective review of the protocols that have been built over the last decade and also the new challenges and the directions for future work.

description: We describe a method of white-beam inelastic neutron scattering for improved measurement efficiency. The method consists of matrix inversion and selective extraction. The former is to resolve each incident energy component from the white-beam data, and the latter eliminates contamination by elastic components, which produce strong backgrounds that otherwise obfuscate the inelastic scattering components. In this method, the optimal experimental condition to obtain high efficiency will strongly depend on the specific aim of the individual experiments.

Cultural values embedded in building environmental performance assessment methods : a comparison of LEED-Canada and Japan`s CASBEE
Creators: name: Blaviesciunaite, Aiste
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This thesis examines cultural values embedded in the LEED-Canada and CASBEE building environmental performance assessment methods, with particular emphasis on those that relate to collective attitudes toward nature in two different contexts: Canada and Japan. The structure and content of LEED-Canada and CASBEE are compared through the lenses of biophilia, technology, and information to expose how the implicit factors that shape society’s composition, structure, industries and understanding influence the priorities and emphases in the two assessment methods. The consequences of the study are fourfold. Firstly, it provides a critically important lens through which to view side-by-side comparisons of building environmental assessment systems. Secondly, by contrasting the differences and identifying similarities in the two countries, the work provides a more informed basis for understanding the transferability of green building design ideas from one culture to another and what problems/opportunities could potentially arise. Thirdly, the study adds weight to the argument that it is critically important to look at buildings as an integral part of natural, cultural, social and economic systems rather than isolated entities. Finally, it seriously questions whether the lack of culture-specific considerations has potentially adverse effects when promoting built environment sustainability in the long term.

description: Unplanned downtime in industrial machinery costs an estimated $50 billion USD per year in the manufacturing sector alone, due to broken parts, additional maintenance expenses, and lost productivity [1]. This highlights the need for more advanced condition monitoring approaches, which may be enabled through the use of models that can predict and prevent potential issues before they occur. While a model that represents the original, or baseline, state of the system is useful for fault detection and diagnostics, updating the model as faults occur is an even more desirable goal. Integrating faults into a systems model can provide us with detailed information such as the progression of a fault over time, its effect on other components, and how and when a failure in the system may occur. In this thesis, a combination of physics-based and data-driven modeling techniques are applied to the problem of updating a systems model as faults initiate, focusing on a class of faults that has received relatively little attention in literature. Faults can manifest either as changes in system parameter values, or as changes to the mathematical structure of the system, the latter of which we refer to as emerging dynamics. These faults introduce additional dynamics which are not present in the baseline system and may involve invalidation of assumed boundary conditions. While there are many established methods for updating model parameters over time [10, 43], considerably less work deals with integrating emerging dynamics into a model. This thesis work aims to address this gap through the development of a comprehensive framework for integrating emerging dynamics behaviours into a systems model to enable predictive condition monitoring analyses. Key framework components include methodologies which have been developed for the detection, identification, and modeling of emerging dynamics. Each involved addressing fundamental theoretical challenges and associated gaps in the literature. The effectiveness of the proposed framework is demonstrated using a test rig. A selected emerging dynamics fault is modeled in an experimental setup, detected and identified as it develops in a rotating machinery system, and finally, integrated into the baseline model.

description: We study communication between an inertial observer and one of two causally-disconnected counter accelerating observers. We will restrict the quantum channel considering inertial-to-accelerated bipartite classical and quantum communication over different sets of Unruh modes (single-rail or dual-rail encoding). We find that the coherent information (and therefore, the amount of entanglement that can be generated via state merging protocol) in this strongly restricted channel presents some interesting monogamy properties between the inertial and only one of the accelerated observers if we take a fixed choice of the Unruh mode used in the channel. The optimization of the controllable parameters is also studied and we find that they deviate from the values usually employed in the literature.

description: If $G$ is a Polish group and $Γ$ is a countable group, denote by $\Hom(Γ, G)$ the space of all homomorphisms $Γ\to G$. We study properties of the group $\cl{π(Γ)}$ for the generic $π\in \Hom(Γ, G)$, when $Γ$ is abelian and $G$ is one of the following three groups: the unitary group of an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, the automorphism group of a standard probability space, and the isometry group of the Urysohn metric space. Under mild assumptions on $Γ$, we prove that in the first case, there is (up to isomorphism of topological groups) a unique generic $\cl{π(Γ)}$; in the other two, we show that the generic $\cl{π(Γ)}$ is extremely amenable. We also show that if $Γ$ is torsion-free, the centralizer of the generic $π$ is as small as possible, extending a result of King from ergodic theory.

description: We extend our investigation on a possible de Sitter symmetry breaking mechanism in non-linear sigma models. The scale invariance of the quantum fluctuations could make the cosmological constant time dependent signaling the de Sitter symmetry breaking. To understand such a symmetry breaking mechanism, we investigate the energy-momentum tensor. We show that the leading infra-red logarithms cancel to all orders in perturbation theory in a generic non-linear sigma model. When the target space is an N sphere, the de Sitter symmetry is preserved in the large N limit. For a less symmetric target space, the infra-red logarithms appear at the three loop level. However there is a counter term to precisely cancel it. The leading infra-red logarithms do not cancel for higher derivative interactions. We investigate such a model in which the infra-red logarithms first appear at the three loop level. A nonperturbative investigation in the large N limit shows that they eventually grow as large as the one loop effect.

description: In this paper, we investigate in detail the structures of the variational characterization $A_{N,t}$ of the spherical $t$-design, its gradient $\nabla A_{N,t}$, and its Hessian $\mathcal{H}(A_{N,t})$ in terms of fast spherical harmonic transforms. Moreover, we propose solving the minimization problem of $A_{N,t}$ using the trust-region method to provide spherical $t$-designs with large values of $t$. Based on the obtained spherical $t$-designs, we develop (semi-discrete) spherical tight framelets as well as their truncated systems and their fast spherical framelet transforms for the practical spherical signal/image processing. Thanks to the large spherical $t$-designs and localization property of our spherical framelets, we are able to provide signal/image denoising using local thresholding techniques based on a fine-tuned spherical cap restriction. Many numerical experiments are conducted to demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our spherical framelets, including Wendland function approximation, ETOPO data processing, and spherical image denoising.

Estimating long-run elasticities of rural wage determinants in Indonesia : the Johansen cointegration method
Creators: name: Harahap, Faisal R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This thesis examines the rural-urban linkage in Indonesia by investigating the degree of integration between the rural labor market and the urban labor market in Indonesia. It focuses on finding the determinants of rural wage rates in Indonesia, which from policy perspective is especially important since most Indonesian poor work as agricultural laborers in the rural area and are net consumers of rice; and hence any policy intervention directly or indirectly affecting rural wage rates is likely to affect the poor. Long-run relationships among real agricultural wage rates and real urban wage, agriculture prices, and real urban GDP are empirically studied using the Johansen cointegration framework. The estimates of the long-run elasticities are obtained based on 1983-2009 quarterly data compiled from government official statistics. Results for three most populated Indonesian provinces (West Java, Central Java and East Java) show that urban variables (ie. real urban wage rates and urban GDP) are much more important than rural variables (ie. rice price) in determining the long-run rural wage rates. The long-run elasticities for real urban wage rates are between 0.14 and 0.53, with an average elasticity of 0.31, while the agriculture (rice) price has elasticities merely between zero and 0.17. Furthermore, the long-run elasticities of real urban GDP for West Java, Central Java, and East Java are 0.14, 0.19, and 0.19, respectively. The policy implications are significant. For instance, the long-run impact of government protectionist trade policy by raising rice prices to help the poor is likely to be very limited. A 25% import tariffs, for example, would have raised rural wage rates in Java on average by merely 2.6%, a negligible increase, given it’s only a once-and-for-all increase. Conversely, using a similar argument, if the government decided to liberalize trade policy in rice by completely dismantling tariff barriers, there would be virtually no effect on rural poverty, as measured by the rural wage rate. In fact, lower rice prices would translate into increased food security for poor consumers in urban areas, and even in rural areas where almost all the truly poor are net consumers of rice.
Improved Empirical Parametrization of Fragmentation Cross Sections

description: A new version is proposed for the universal empirical formula, EPAX, which describes fragmentation cross sections in high-energy heavy-ion reactions. The new version, EPAX 3, can be shown to yield cross sections that are in better agreement with experimental data for the most neutron-rich fragments than the previous version. At the same time, the very good agreement of EPAX 2 with data on the neutron-deficient side has been largely maintained. Comparison with measured cross sections show that the bulk of the data is reproduced within a factor of about 2, for cross sections down to the pico-barn range.

description: Nanotechnology has shown great promise in tackling various challenges in oil and gas drilling operations. The incorporation of nanoparticles in drilling fluids has been found to improve their rheological behavior and overcome common challenges associated with drilling operations by reducing fluid loss, minimizing formation damage, improving heat transfer properties, and decreasing friction between the drill pipe and surrounding formation. Most available literature, however, focuses on using inorganic and non-biodegradable nanomaterials that could be expensive to scale up and might pose some environmental issues. Cellulose-based nanomaterials are among the most produced naturally derived nanomaterials. Research on the application of these nanomaterials in drilling fluids has been limited to evaluating the rheological behaviour and filtration properties of bentonite-based drilling fluids, neglecting the effect of nano-cellulose on the lubricity of drilling fluid. Accordingly, this study aims to investigate the performance of bentonite and non-bentonite water-based drilling fluids in the presence of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) at varying content (0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 wt%). The performance of these drilling fluids was evaluated in terms of lubricity, filtration properties, and rheological behaviour before and after high temperature (76 oC) aging. The results show that the incorporation of CNCs into water-based drilling fluids enhanced their lubricity leading to significant torque reductions. This improvement in lubricity was more pronounced in bentonite polymer-free drilling fluids. Furthermore, lower filtrate volume and more uniform filter cake were observed for nano-modified drilling fluids compared to the reference fluids indicating decreased fluid loss. The presence of CNCs also led to higher yield point, viscosity, and gel strength than the reference fluids. This thesis holds valuable insights for the application of CNCs in oil and gas drilling operations, especially in sustainably reducing torque and drag, while maintaining excellent performance.

description: Background
                Polycythemia vera (PV) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm associated with increased thrombotic and cardiovascular risk, which are key contributors to patient morbidity and mortality. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is the largest integrative health network in the United States. Available data concerning patients with PV in this population are limited.

                Methods
                This retrospective observational study evaluated the characteristics, management, and outcomes of patients with PV in the VHA Medical SAS® Dataset (October 1, 2005, to September 30, 2012). Inclusion criteria were ≥ 2 claims for PV (ie, PV diagnostic code was recorded) ≥30 days apart during the identification period, age ≥ 18 years, and continuous health plan enrollment from ≥12 months before the index date until the end of follow-up. All data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.

                Results
                The analysis included 7718 patients (median age, 64 years; male, 98%; white, 64%). The most common comorbidities before the index date were hypertension (72%), dyslipidemia (54%), and diabetes (24%); 33% had a history of smoking. During the follow-up period (median, 4.8 years), most patients did not receive treatment with cytoreductive therapy, including phlebotomy (53%), or antiplatelet agents, such as aspirin (57%). The thrombotic and cardiovascular event rates per 1000 patient-years were 60.5 and 83.8, respectively. Among patients who received cytoreductive treatment, the thrombotic event rate was 48.9 per 1000 patient-years. The overall mortality rate was 51.2 per 1000 patient-years.

                Conclusion
                The notable rates of thrombotic and cardiovascular events observed in this analysis, even among patients receiving cytoreductive treatment, highlight the important unmet clinical needs of patients with PV in the VHA.

description: Neutron diffraction has been used to investigate antiferromagnetism since 1949. Here we show that antiferromagnetic reflections can also be seen in transmission electron diffraction patterns from NiO. The diffraction patterns taken here came from regions as small as 10.5 nm and such patterns could be used to form an image of the antiferromagnetic structure with a nanometre resolution.
