Shadow Prices for Project Selection in the Presence of Distortions: Effective Rates of Protection and Domestic Resource Costs
Creators: name: Bhagwati, Jagdish N.
name: Srinivasan, T. N.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1978
Subjects: Economics

description: The paper addresses the problem of deriving shadow prices for use in project evaluation when the existing allocation is characterized by ad valorem trade distortions. The analysis is used to clarify and resolve the long-standing debate among effective-rate-of-protection and domestic-resource-cost proponents as to the respective merits of their measures as methods of project evaluation. The derivation of shadow factor prices is then extended to three major factor market imperfections familiar from extensive trade-theoretic analysis.

description: The climate is dynamic and constantly changing; it is projected to change more rapidly through the next 50 to 100 years. These predicted changes, while uncertain, are likely to increase failures of water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure due to extreme events if changes are not made during the planning and design of improvements and modifications required as systems reach the end of their useful lives. This study briefly outlines actual climatic changes that have occurred and recently published predicted changes. It looks at the impacts these changes will have on water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure and provides recommendations to assist engineers and owners who are working to address these impacts. In addition, cautions are provided relating to evaluating and using current climate data, models, and studies for planning and design purposes. While societal and socioeconomic factors also impact the design of water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure, this study only summarily covers those impacts associated with climate change.

P. aeruginosa intra-species interactions and the role of pyocins in cystic fibrosis lung infections
Creators: name: MacLean, Chloe
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2012

description: Bibliography: p. 165-178
description: P. aeruginsoa is one of the most frequently isolated microorganisms that infect the lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, yet traditional antibiotic therapies rarely eradicate this organism. In our lab, we have observed P. aeruginosa intra-species antagonistic interactions between isolates from these patients. In the current study we have shown that these interactions are similar in both D. melanogaster and the mucosal surface rat prostate infection models. We have focused on one CF isolate (14651) involved in these antagonistic interactions. Our work demonstrated that 14651 produced pyocins, which were able to kill a wide-range of P. aeruginosa CF isolates. Our data further suggested that 14651 produced a novel S-type pyocin suggesting that it may have a competitive advantage by controlling other isolates in the lungs. This study raised the possibility that pyocins may be an effective therapeutic able to target a wide range of the P. aeruginosa CF isolates.

description: I examined the relationship between selective habitat use and population genetic structure of black-and-white ruffed lemurs (Varecia variegata) in the fragmented Kianjavato- Vatovavy landscape in southeastem Madagascar. I calculated ranges for 17 lemurs in two forest fragments (June 2010 - March 2011, 4149 GPS points) and analysed the relationship between microhabitat characteristics and the probability of use of areas, and the extended use of trees within ranges. I genotyped 33 faecal samples for 16 microsatellites, adding 22 individuals from nearby continuous forest Ranomafana National Park. Despite the preferential use of large trees with broad crowns, low elevations, forest interiors, and areas with a large basal area of food species, it appears moderate fragment isolation (< lOOm) is insufficient to disrupt V variegata gene flow. However, larger distances (6km) isolated populations, leading to a population bottleneck and a drop in allelic richness. These results may inform reforestation and management efforts.

description: We propose a scheme for entangling the optical and microwave output modes of the respective cavities by using a micro mechanical resonator. The micro-mechanical resonator on one side is capacitively coupled to the microwave cavity and on the other side is coupled to a high finesses optical cavity. We then show how this continuous variable entanglement can be profitably used to teleport the non-Gaussian number state |1> and the superposition (|0>+|1>)/\surd2 from the microwave cavity output mode onto an output of optical cavity mode with fidelity much larger than the no-cloning limit.

Central Regions of Barred Galaxies: Two-Dimensional Non-self-gravitating Hydrodynamic Simulations

description: The inner regions of barred galaxies contain substructures such as off-axis shocks, nuclear rings, and nuclear spirals. These substructure may affect star formation, and control the activity of a central black hole (BH) by determining the mass inflow rate. We investigate the formation and properties of such substructures using high-resolution, grid-based hydrodynamic simulations. The gaseous medium is assumed to be infinitesimally-thin, isothermal, and non-self-gravitating. The stars and dark matter are represented by a static gravitational potential with four components: a stellar disk, the bulge, a central BH, and the bar. To investigate various galactic environments, we vary the gas sound speed c_s as well as the mass of the central BH M_BH. Once the flow has reached a quasi-steady state, off-axis shocks tend to move closer to the bar major axis as c_s increases. Nuclear rings shrink in size with increasing c_s, but are independent of M_BH, suggesting that ring position is not determined by the Lindblad resonances. Rings in low-c_s models are narrow since they are occupied largely by gas on x2-orbits and well decoupled from nuclear spirals, while they become broad because of large thermal perturbations in high-c_s models. Nuclear spirals persist only when either c_s is small or M_BH is large; they would otherwise be destroyed completely by the ring material on eccentric orbits. The shape and strength of nuclear spirals depend sensitively on c_s and M_BH such that they are leading if both c_s and M_BH are small, weak trailing if c_s is small and M_BH is large, and strong trailing if both c_s and M_BH are large. While the mass inflow rate toward the nucleus is quite small in low-c_s models because of the presence of a narrow nuclear ring, it becomes larger than 0.01 Msun/yr when c_s is large, providing a potential explanation of nuclear activity in Seyfert galaxies.

description: A PNJL model is built, in which the Polyakov-loop potential is explicitly Z$_{N_c}$-symmetric in order to mimic a Yang-Mills theory with gauge group SU($N_c$). The physically expected large-$N_c$ and large-$T$ behaviours of the thermodynamic observables computed from the Polyakov-loop potential are used to constrain its free parameters. The effective potential is eventually U(1)-symmetric when $N_c$ is infinite. Light quark flavours are added by using a Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model coupled to the Polyakov loop (the PNJL model), and the different phases of the resulting PNJL model are discussed in 't Hooft's large-$N_c$ limit. Three phases are found, in agreement with previous large-$N_c$ studies. When the temperature $T$ is larger than some deconfinement temperature $T_d$, the system is in a deconfined, chirally symmetric, phase for any quark chemical potential $μ$. When $T

Who's the boss? an investigation into the complex relationship between endogenous retroviruses and nearby genes
Creators: name: Miceli, Katharine Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Nearly half of the human and mouse genomes is composed of transposable elements (TEs) which are pieces of DNA capable of or once capable of moving to different locations in the genome. These mobile elements can potentially impact host gene expression in a variety of ways either directly through insertional mutagenesis or indirectly by serving as an alternative promoter/enhancer or through modification of splice signals. In order to protect the integrity of the genome, various mechanisms have evolved to silence TEs. Chromatin modifications, namely DNA methylation and histone modifications, represent two methods of transcriptional silencing of transposable elements. In previous studies it has been shown that methylation of short interspersed nucleotide element (SINE) TEs in the plant and mouse genome can “spread” into flanking sequences. I chose to investigate this “spreading” phenomenon with respect to endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) which are highly active in the mouse genome. Direct evidence has been provided for ERVs in the mouse genome inducing the spread of repressive chromatin. However, the ability of ERV-induced “spreading” to impact nearby gene expression has not yet been characterized. In my thesis, I provide evidence for repressive chromatin spreading as an infrequent occurrence with the exception of the B3galtl gene where DNA methylation and repressive histone marks spread from a solitary ERV long terminal repeat (LTR) into the CpG island promoter of the gene, which correlates with reduced gene transcription. In most cases, however, I show that CpG islands are unmethylated despite the presence of a nearby methylated ERV. Furthermore, I show examples of differential epigenetic marking of insertions with the 3’LTR of the insertion located closest to the nearby gene exhibiting hypomethylation. In one case in particular, I show an interesting trend between expression of the CdGAP gene and hypomethylation of the nearby 3’LTR. These results lead to the conclusion that susceptibility to or protection from “spreading” of repressive chromatin marks is a locus-specific event that may be mediated by various factors such as the ERV-gene distance, the presence of a CpG island gene promoter, the chromatin state of the gene promoter, and the expression of the corresponding gene.

description: We present a study of the orbits of the triple system LHS1070, with the aim to determine individual masses of its components. Sixteen new relative astrometric positions of the three components in the K band were obtained with NACO at the VLT, Omega CASS at the 3.5m telescope on Calar Alto, and other high-spatial-resolution instruments. We combine them with data from the literature and fit orbit models to the dataset. We derive an improved fit for the orbit of LHS1070B and C around each other, and an estimate for the orbit of B and C around A. The orbits are nearly coplanar, with a misalignment angle of less than 10°. The masses of the three components are M_A = 0.13 - 0.16 Msun, M_B = 0.077+/-0.005 Msun, and M_C = 0.071+/-0.004 Msun. Therefore, LHS1070C is certainly, and LHS1070B probably a brown dwarf. Comparison with theoretical isochrones shows that LHS1070A is either fainter or more massive than expected. One possible explanation would be that it is a binary. However, the close companion reported previously could not be confirmed.

description: Background Early neurological deterioration occurs frequently after subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). The impact on hospital course and outcome remains poorly defined.
Methods We identified risk factors for worsening on the Hunt–Hess grading scale within the first 24 h after admission in 609 consecutively admitted aneurysmal SAH patients. Admission risk factors and the impact of early worsening on outcome was evaluated using multivariable analysis adjusting for age, gender, admission clinical grade, admission year and procedure type. Outcome was evaluated at 12 months using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS).
Results 211 patients worsened within the first 24 h of admission (35%). In a multivariate adjusted model, early worsening was associated with older age (OR 1.02, 95% CI 1.001 to 1.03; p=0.04), the presence of intracerebral haematoma on initial CT scan (OR 2.0, 95% CI 1.2 to 3.5; p=0.01) and higher SAH and intraventricular haemorrhage sum scores (OR 1.05, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.08 and 1.1, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.2; p less than 0.001 and 0.03, respectively). Early worsening was associated with more hospital complications and prolonged length of hospital stay and was an independent predictor of death (OR 12.1, 95% CI 5.7 to 26.1; p less than 0.001) and death or moderate to severe disability (mRS 4–6, OR 8.4, 95% CI 4.9 to 14.5; p=0.01) at 1 year.
Conclusions Early worsening after SAH occurs in 35% of patients, is predicted by clot burden and is associated with mortality and poor functional outcome at 1 year.

description: Cross-linked polyacrylamide (CLP) has a number of well-established industrial and household uses due to its high water absorbency. Industry has promoted the usage of CLP as a soil water conservation amendment and as a reservoir for plant available water that is helpful in alleviating plant stress during periods of drought. The purpose of this research is to verify that the absorbed water is, in fact, plant available. Following a single drying cycle, and its structural sensitivity to dilute salt solutions, the changes in CLP's water absorption capacity may be serious impediments to its usefulness in filed applications. A field study using CLP banded at the recommended rate and 20 times this rate were performed to test the robustness of CLP to enhance drought tolerance in legumes. The addition of CLP did not sustain yields with reduced irrigation levels. Plant stress indicators, plant growth measurements, and environmental factors were not significant.

description: We propose a new seesaw model based on fermionic hypercharge zero weak quintuplet in conjunction with additional scalar quadruplet which attains an induced vev. The model provides both tree-level seesaw ~ v^6/M^5 and a loop-suppressed radiative ~ (1 / 16 π^2) v^2/M contributions to active neutrino masses. The empirical masses m_ν~ 10^{-1} eV can be achieved with M ~ TeV new states, accessible at the LHC. For 5 fb^{-1} of accumulated integrated luminosity at the LHC, there could be ~ 500 doubly-charged Σ^{++} or \bar{Σ^{++}} fermions with mass M_Σ= 400 GeV, leading to interesting multi-lepton signatures. The neutral component of the fermion quintuplet, previously identified as minimal dark matter candidate, becomes unstable in the proposed seesaw setup. The stability can be restored by introducing a Z_2 symmetry, in which case neutrinos get mass only from radiative contributions.

The study presented in this report identifies various promising options for the CAP, including national implementations, to maximise its contribution to greater resilience of EU farming systems. These options serve as input for ongoing political debates on the reform of the CAP post-2020, the development of the proposed National Strategic Plans that spell out national priorities and implementation choices, as well as the European Commission’s “From Farm to Fork Strategy”, which aims to foster a circular food system, as part of the European Green Deal. For the UK case study (see below), we reflect on promising courses of action for post-Brexit agricultural policy.

description: In this paper analogies between different (dis)similarity matrices are derived. These matrices, which are connected to path enumeration and random walks, are used in community detection methods or in computation of centrality measures for complex networks. The focus is on a number of known centrality measures, which inherit the connections established for similarity matrices. These measures are based on the principal eigenvector of the adjacency matrix, path enumeration, as well as on the stationary state, stochastic matrix or mean first-passage times of a random walk. Particular attention is paid to the maximal-entropy random walk, which serves as a very distinct alternative to the ordinary random walk used in network analysis. The various importance measures, defined both with the use of ordinary random walk and the maximal-entropy random walk, are compared numerically on a set of benchmark graphs. It is shown that groups of centrality measures defined with the two random walks cluster into two separate families. In particular, the group of centralities for the maximal-entropy random walk, connected to the eigenvector centrality and path enumeration, is strongly distinct from all the other measures and produces largely equivalent results.

Publisher: name: University of Calgary

description: Bibliography: p. 74-76
description: Asset allocation is one of the central issues in banking, finance and insurance industries. Using ruin probability and expected loss at ruin as measures of risk, we aimed to inves­tigate the optimal investment problem of an investor in finance and insurance in a static one-period setting. Mean - Variance, Value at Risk (VaR) and Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) model­ing were three approaches investigated in this thesis. However, mathematically VaR had some serious limitations, such as lack of sub-additivity. In the case of a finite number of scenarios, VaR is a non-smooth, non-convex function, making it difficult to control and optimize. This fact stimulate our development of new optimization algorithms presented here, by introducing ruin probability and expected loss at ruin. Optimization problems with a certain level of expected return in finance field were first analyzed and then with premium and claim loss added into consideration, the optimization methodologies were applied to the insurance field. After introducing ruin probability and expected loss at ruin as risk measures, the optimization results became more accurate and feasible. Using our proposed new method, we investigated the capital required and asset allo­cation problem.

description: We investigate the evolutionary prisoner's dilemma game in structured populations by introducing dimers, which are defined as that two players in each dimer always hold a same strategy. We find that influences of dimers on cooperation depend on the type of dimers and the population structure. For those dimers in which players interact with each other, the cooperation level increases with the number of dimers though the cooperation improvement level depends on the type of network structures. On the other hand, the dimers, in which there are not mutual interactions, will not do any good to the cooperation level in a single community, but interestingly, will improve the cooperation level in a population with two communities. We explore the relationship between dimers and self-interactions and find that the effects of dimers are similar to that of self-interactions. Also, we find that the dimers, which are established over two communities in a multi-community network, act as one type of interaction through which information between communities is communicated by the requirement that two players in a dimer hold a same strategy.

description: "Purpose: The goals of this study were to 1) develop an interprofessional simulation based team training curriculum, 2) deliver the curriculum to undergraduate students from medicine, nursing and respiratory therapy, and 3) assess the efficacy of providing a didactic Crisis Resource Management Module prior to engaging in the simulation based curriculum. Although interprofessional education is strongly endorsed educators are challenged by the lack of evidence to guide the optimization of simulation as a learning modality and a paucity of assessment tools. Secondary objectives were to assess the psychometric properties of the newly developed KidSIM™ Attitudes Towards Teams in Training Undergoing Designed Educational Simulations (ATTITUDES) Questionnaire and The KidSIM™ Team Performance Scale. Method: A quasi-experimental pre-and post design was used to compare the differences between the intervention group and the comparison ( control) group. Paired sample t-tests were used to look at differences between pre-and post attitude questionnaire scores, and team performance scores from Time 1 to Time 2. Independent sample t-tests were used to examine differences between comparison and intervention scores. ANOV A was used to look for relationships between demographics and scoring. Results: There were significant improvements in all student post test attitude scores (p < 0.001). Participation in the additional CRM module was significantly related to higher team performance scores at Time 1 (p < 0.001) and Time 2 (p < 0.01). There was a significant improvement from Time 1 to Time 2 for comparison group aggregate performance scores and most subscale scores (p < 0.01 top< 0.001) and for intervention group communication subscale scores (p < 0.001). Discussion: The KidSIM™ ATTITUDES questionnaire and the KidSIM™ Team Performance scale provide a reliable and construct valid measure supporting the use of a simulation based team training curriculum to improve student appreciation of IPE and teamwork, and IP team abilities to work more effectively together by Time 2 regardless of receiving didactic CRM. The relationship between level of competence and the didactic CRM module is noteworthy but requires further research to provide more information regarding sustainability. "

Tag-less feature based tangible detection and tracking using custom gestures

Publisher: name: University of Calgary

description: Bibliography: p. 89-94
description: Digital tabletops have gained prominence in research and industry, as they support new types of interaction, such as tangible user interfaces. The task of tangible detection and tracking is generally accomplished through using tags to mark the objects, or by forwarding information on the objects to developers, who do the identification and tracking. This thesis presents a methodology and toolkit through which tag-less object detection can be achieved, by using a feature-based computer vision algorithm. This allows developers to access their tangibles through the names that they provide and protects them from the complexities of computer vision algorithms and the tracking of tangibles. It also allows for the integration of multi-touch and tangible interaction, as both modalities are crucial to communicating with digital tabletops. Custom gestures can be defined which encompass touches and tangibles. A user study was conducted which demonstrated that participants found the toolkit to be useful and easy to use.

Anomalous mass enhancement in strongly-correlated quantum wells
Creators: name: Okamoto, Satoshi
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using dynamical-mean-field theory, we investigate the electronic properties of quantum wells consisting of a $t^1_{2g}$-electron system with strong correlations. The special focus is on the subband structure of such quantum wells. The effective mass is found to increase with increase in the value of the bottom of the subband, i.e., decrease in the subband occupation number. This is due to the combination of Coulomb repulsion, whose effect is enhanced on surface layers, and longer-range hoppings. We discuss the implication of these results for the recent angle-resolved photoemission experiment on SrVO$_3$ thin films.

All-polymer flexural plate wave sensors
Creators: name: Busch, John Robert
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A novel all-polymer flexural plate wave (FPW) sensor from a piezoelectric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) thin-film with poly-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly- (styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) interdigital transducer (IDT) electrodes has been fabricated and characterized. PVDF films are made piezoelectric by stretching and poling. X-ray diffraction measurements confirm the transition of the PVDF into its piezoelectric β-phase. Inks of PEDOT:PSS, dimethyl sulfoxide and Triton X-100 are deposited on the PVDF films by inkjet printing to produce the IDT patterns. The sensor operates using fundamental frequency, f0, detection of Lamb waves propagating through the PVDF film. Upon the application of a time-varying voltage signal to the input IDT, acoustic waves are generated and measured using a laser Doppler vibrometer, as well as through an electric signal at the output IDT. The output signal is amplified, filtered and processed using an analog to digital converter, digital signal processor and a computer program. The measured fundamental frequencies range from 330 to 1600 kHz for devices with 18 and 125 micron thick PVDF substrates and 800 and 400 micron acoustic wavelengths. These values for fundamental frequency are well predicted by the device geometry using Lamb wave theory. The effect of mass-loading was characterized by inkjet printing layers of polyvinyl alcohol on the sensors and measuring the resulting frequency shift. The devices demonstrate a frequency shift, Δf , to mass loading, m, with a measured resonance frequency mass sensitivity of Δf/(mf0) = -55.9 cm²/g. Temperature sensitivity was measured to be 1870 Hz/ C. Sensors were also coated with a sensing layer of polyvinyl acetate and its response to toluene and acetone vapour concentrations was characterized.

description: Bibliography: p. 69-76
description: The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of a newly developed In-Training Evaluation Report (ITER) form with residents at the University of Calgary. A new modified ITER was developed and piloted with Pediatric, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and General Surgery. Reliability and validity of the new modified form in connection to the measurement of residents' seven CanMEDS competencies were investigated using internal consistency and exploratory factor analyses (EFA). The new ITER showed strong internal reliability with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.98. An EFA showed the ITER accounts for 63% of the variance and that item loadings depict a five factor model: 1) medical expert (clinical skills)/communicator, 2) medical expert (knowledge), 3) health advocate, 4) professional/collaborator, and 5) scholar. The new ITER form has high internal reliability, but moderate construct validity. EFA found overlapping item loadings in the assessment of residents' medical expert, communicator, collaborator, and professional roles.
