Why Women are Avoiding Computer Science in North American Universities : Literature Review and Analysis
Creators: name: Egersdorfer, Davor
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: This literature review investigates the underrepresentation of women within CS, specifically focusing on the perceived gap between male and female enrolment in university CS courses within North America. The paper examines the recruitment of young women in the North American K-12 educational system, explores the influences that affect women’s choices in enrolling in CS, and looks at evidence of successful recruitment efforts in high schools. Possible solutions to this problem are discussed, as well as potential benefits of the study to the province of British Columbia.

description: The discovery of new topological electronic materials brings a chance to uncover novel physics and plays a key role in observing and controlling various intriguing phenomena. Up to now, many materials have been theoretically proposed and experimentally proved to host different kinds of topological states. Unfortunately, there is little convincing experimental evidence for the existence of topological oxides. The reason is that oxidation of oxygen leads to ionic crystal in general and makes band inversion unlikely. In addition, the realization of different topological states in a single material is quite difficult, but strongly needed for exploring topological phase transitions. In this work, using first-principles calculations and symmetry analysis, we propose that the experimentally tunable continuous solid solution of oxygen in pyrochlore Tl$_2$Nb$_2$O$_{6+x}$ ($ 0\leq x \leq 1.0$) leads to various topological states. Topological insulator, Dirac semimetal and triply degenerate nodal point semimetal can be realized in it via changing the oxygen content and/or tuning the crystalline symmetries. When $x = 1$, it is a semimetal with quadratic band touching point at Fermi level. It transits into a Dirac semimetal or a topological insulator depending on the in-plane strain. When $x = 0.5$, the inversion symmetry is spontaneously broken in Tl$_2$Nb$_2$O$_{6.5}$, leading to triply degenerate nodal points. When $x = 0$, Tl$_2$Nb$_2$O$_6$ becomes a trivial insulator with a narrow band gap. These topological phase transitions driven by solid solution of oxygen are unique and physically plausible due to the variation of valence state of $Tl^{1+}$ and $Tl^{3+}$. This topological oxide will be promising for studying correlation induced topological states and potential applications.

description: We develop a consistent technique for the calculation of real photon emission in hard exclusive processes, which is based on the background field formalism and allows a convenient separation of hard electromagnetic and soft hadronic components of the photon. The latter ones are related to matrix-elements of light-cone operators in the electromagnetic background field and can be parametrized in terms of photon distribution amplitudes. We construct a complete set of photon distribution amplitudes up to and including twist-4, for both chirality-conserving and chirality-violating operators. The distribution amplitudes involve several nonperturbative parameters and, most importantly, the magnetic susceptibility of the quark condensate. We review and update previous estimates of the susceptibility and also give new estimates of parameters describing higher-twist amplitudes from QCD sum rules.

description: Landauer discussed the minimum energy necessary for computation and stated that erasure of information is accompanied by heat generation to the amount of kT ln2/bit. Modifying the above statement, we claim that erasure of information is accompanied by entropy generation k ln2/bit. Some new concepts will be introduced in the field of thermodynamics that are implicitly included in our statement. The new concepts that we will introduce are ``partitioned state'', which corresponds to frozen state such as in ice, ``partitioning process'' and ``unifying process''. Developing our statement, i.e., our thermodynamics of computation, we will point out that the so-called ``residual entropy'' does not exist in the partitioned state. We then argue that a partioning process is an entropy decreasing process. Finally we reconsider the second law of thermodynamics especially when computational processes are involved.

description: We find that a 2D periodic potential with different modulation amplitudes in x- and y-direction and a perpendicular magnetic field may lead to a transition to electron transport along the direction of stronger modulation and to localization in the direction of weaker modulation. In the experimentally accessible regime we relate this new quantum transport phenomenon to avoided band crossing due to classical chaos.

description: The finite size effect on hadron physics and quark matter has attracted much interest for more than three decades, normally both the periodic (with zero-momentum mode) and the anti-periodic (without zero-momentum mode) spatial boundary condition are applied for fermions. By comparing the thermodynamical potential, it is found that if there is no other physical constraint, the droplet quark matter is always more stable when the periodic spatial boundary condition is applied, and the catalysis of chiral symmetry breaking is observed with the decrease of the system size, while the pions excited from the droplet vacuum keep as pseudo Nambu-Goldstone bosons. Furthermore, it is found that the zero-momentum mode contribution brings significant change of the chiral apparent phase transition in a droplet of cold dense quark matter: the 1st-order chiral apparent phase transition becomes quantized, i.e., the 1st-order apparent phase transition is completed in two steps, which is a brand-new quantum phenomena. It is expected that the catalysis of chiral symmetry breaking and the quantized 1st-order apparent phase transition are common features for fermionic systems with quantized momentum spectrum with zero-mode contribution, which also show up in quark matter under magnetic field.

description: We introduce deep learning models to estimate the masses of the binary components of black hole mergers, $(m_1,m_2)$, and three astrophysical properties of the post-merger compact remnant, namely, the final spin, $a_f$, and the frequency and damping time of the ringdown oscillations of the fundamental $\ell=m=2$ bar mode, $(ω_R, ω_I)$. Our neural networks combine a modified $\texttt{WaveNet}$ architecture with contrastive learning and normalizing flow. We validate these models against a Gaussian conjugate prior family whose posterior distribution is described by a closed analytical expression. Upon confirming that our models produce statistically consistent results, we used them to estimate the astrophysical parameters $(m_1,m_2, a_f, ω_R, ω_I)$ of five binary black holes: $\texttt{GW150914}, \texttt{GW170104}, \texttt{GW170814}, \texttt{GW190521}$ and $\texttt{GW190630}$. We use $\texttt{PyCBC Inference}$ to directly compare traditional Bayesian methodologies for parameter estimation with our deep-learning-based posterior distributions. Our results show that our neural network models predict posterior distributions that encode physical correlations, and that our data-driven median results and 90$\%$ confidence intervals are similar to those produced with gravitational wave Bayesian analyses. This methodology requires a single V100 $\texttt{NVIDIA}$ GPU to produce median values and posterior distributions within two milliseconds for each event. This neural network, and a tutorial for its use, are available at the $\texttt{Data and Learning Hub for Science}$.

description: This study examines five highly trained musicians who made the life-changing decision to leave their occupations and pursue professions in completely new fields.  Portraitures were created to illustrate how these individuals went on to forge successful careers even though their new positions required vastly different skillsets.  Through qualitative analysis, it was discovered that numerous skills appear to be transferable from long-term musical training to various career paths.  By examining people who have excelled in both domains, common traits were uncovered and grouped into four categories:  Cognitive, Expressive, Socio-Behavioral, and Skills Particular to the Craft.The purpose of this research was to identify the skills that musicians can carry over into new professions.  Those who may be considering alternative fields of work as well as employers in non-musical arenas may discover that musicians can be desirable candidates for hire because of their numerous transferable skills.  Understanding the training process of musicians may also help gather insights for improving curricula which conservatories can employ to prepare graduates for careers.  Retrospective feedback from alumni provided this study with a backdrop as to whether coursework offered at their schools aligned with modern industry conditions.  After conducting interviews, findings from this study revealed that highly trained musicians do possess many skills that can transfer into new domains, though hard skills should be acquired in the new field.  However, the foundation on which a musician's skillset is built provides a formidable bedrock on which a variety of successful careers can be cultivated.
A combinatorial approach to the structure of locally inverse semigroups

description: This paper introduces a notion of presentation for locally inverse semigroups and develops a graph structure to describe the elements of locally inverse semigroups given by these presentations. These graphs will have a role similar to the role that Cayley graphs have for group presentations or that Schützenberger graphs have for inverse monoid presentations. However, our graphs have considerable differences with the latter two, even though locally inverse semigroups generalize both groups and inverse semigroups. For example, the graphs introduced here are not `inverse word graphs'. Instead, they are bipartite graphs with both oriented and non-oriented edges, and with labels on the oriented edges only. A byproduct of the theory developed here is the introduction of a graphical method for dealing with general locally inverse semigroups. These graphs are able to describe, for a locally inverse semigroup given by a presentation, many of the usual concepts used to study the structure of semigroups, such as the idempotents, the inverses of an element, the Green's relations, and the natural partial order. Finally, the paper ends characterizing the semigroups belonging to some usual subclasses of locally inverse semigroups in terms of properties on these graphs.

description: Tenthredo fulviventris Mocsáry, 1909
A senior subjective synonym of Tenthredo (Tenthredella) crenata (Enslin, 1912), syn. nov.
TYPES. Tenthredo fulviventris Mocsáry, 1909: 35. Syntype (s) 3, “Sibiria orientalis: Raddefka.”. Primary homonym of Tenthredo fulviventris Scopoli, 1763 [= Eurhadinoceraea fulviventris (Scopoli, 1763)]. Lectotype Ƥ, hereby designated (Fig. 21). Type locality: “Sibiria or. Raddefka” [= Russia: Birobidzhan: Radde].
DISCUSSION. Enslin (1920: 91) discussed the possibility that T. fulviventris is a synonym of T. crenata, but nevertheless he decided to treat the former as valid. Conde (1935) recorded a fulviventris male from Sakhalin. Sundukov & Lelej (2009) listed the taxon for the Jewish autonomous region (Birobidzhan), based on Mocsáry’s (1909) description. The primary homonymy of the name was apparently overlooked by all authors after Mocsáry (1909). A comparison of the lectotypes of fulvicornis (Fig. 20) and fulviventris (Fig. 21) shows that these specimens are probably conspecific. The differences are restricted to colouration, and this may easily be explained as sexual dimorphism, which is widespread in Tenthredo. See also under Tenthredo fulvicornis.

description: Atomic Fermi gases provide an ideal platform for studying the pairing and superfluid physics, using a Feshbach resonance between closed channel molecular states and open channel scattering states. Of particular interest is the strongly interacting regime. We show that the closed-channel fraction $Z_{cc}$ provides an effective probe for the important many-body interacting effects, especially through its density dependence, which is absent from two-body theoretical predictions. Here we measure $Z_{cc}$ as a function of interaction strength and the Fermi temperature $T_\text{F}$ in a trapped $^6$Li superfluid throughout the entire BCS--BEC crossover, in quantitative agreement with theory when important thermal contributions outside the superfluid core are taken into account. Away from the deep BEC regime, the fraction $Z_{cc}$ is sensitive to $T_\text{F}$. In particular, our data show $Z_{cc} \propto T_\text{F}^α$ with $α=1/2$ at unitarity, in quantitative agreement with calculations of a two-channel pairing fluctuation theory, and $α$ increases rapidly into the BCS regime, reflecting many-body interaction effects as predicted.

description: This dissertation reconstructs Ashkenazi and Sephardi German Jews’ intensive pursuit of civil and religious rights before Germany’s Imperial Supreme Court (Reichskammergericht, the Imperial Chamber Court) in the context of the wide-ranging religious and legal reforms in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Through my systematic analysis of 75,000 court records and my examinations of manuscripts and early printed materials from more than thirty archives across three continents, I study hundreds of previously untapped Supreme Court cases alongside religious and legal sources in German, Hebrew, Yiddish, Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin. I take an integrative approach to this wealth of sources to argue that by using the Supreme Court in numbers that far exceeded their proportion of the population, including in matters that pertained to Jewish law, this litigious minority generated grounds for inter-religious exchanges with the court’s Christian lawyers and judges. These lawyers endeavored to understand and incorporate Jewish law into imperial procedure, not merely due to their commitment to conflict resolution, but also due to their interest in advancing the universal applicability of Roman law as a sophisticated tool to conjoin the different limbs of the empire into a cohesive state. These efforts led the Supreme Court, and therefore the state, to protect rabbinic law and secure the continuation of a Jewish presence in Germany, thus moving in an opposite direction from key religious reformers and local authorities. This dissertation reveals that the study of Jews’ surprising strategies of interconnecting law and religion in defense of themselves and their religious laws promoted Jews’ civil rights in radical ways, and attained a de facto status of imperial citizenship for Ashkenazi and Sephardi-Portuguese Jews. Unearthing knowledge from the archives, this dissertation redraws the porous boundaries between Jewish and non-Jewish legal cultures and calls for a reconsideration of early modes of Jewish citizenship. Showing how Jewish women and men, including Iberian refugees, employed litigation as an anti-nomadic tool against pending expulsions, this dissertation also challenges prevalent conventions on weak Jewish responses to persecution, forced migration, and the agency that ethnic and religious minorities can wield in state-building processes.

description: In this thesis, I intend to look closely at urban regeneration policy and impacts in a neighborhood in Beijing, Baitasi Neighborhood. The neighborhood has a long history and is a crucial part of central Beijing. But in recent decades, the area also faced issues mentioned above. Fortunately, starting from 2014 and 2015, a series of policies, local initiatives, and public private partnership actions has been implemented to find solutions in addressing the issues without bringing significant change to original context of the neighborhood. By focusing on impacts on built environment and community wellbeing after urban regeneration practice, and after studying both positive and negative sides the impact have on the neighborhood, some advice could be made to guide future development in areas facing similar problems in China.

description: This study examines the development of science identity and understanding of science inquiry among a sample of high school and college-aged students of color, a majority of whom were female, during a yearlong informal science research internship. Formal science settings often have structures that form barriers between students and science, by removing these structures, informal science settings transform the science process into a relevant learner-centered experience. Informal science education (ISE) programs have been commonly studied for simple affective outcomes. These programs have been shown to improve interest, confidence, and motivation in science in addition to improving general attitudes toward science. However, the outcomes of ISE programs on deeper affective outcomes such as identity have yet to be thoroughly explored. Additionally, research on the impact these programs have on cognitive growth and science inquiry development is extremely limited. With the importance of ISE programs becoming increasingly recognized, the need to develop a deeper understanding of the program impacts is imperative. Lastly, the impact these programs have on students of color is of keen interest as ISE programs show potential for combatting their persistent underrepresentation in science. Guided by Carlone and Johnson’s (2007) science identity framework, this study utilized a case-study approach, which included a mixed-methods data collection process. Observations and semi-structured interviews were used in conjunction with an open-response questionnaire and quantitative survey to analyze the interactions within the informal science setting more deeply. Findings showed that participants experienced a positive statistical change in their understanding of science inquiry and science identity. Qualitative analysis of the data revealed two over-arching themes of the research experience: (1) Students’ Self-Development; and (2) The Learning Environment. Lastly, structural implications, such as program duration and same-race mentorship, are discussed as methods for retaining students of color in science.

description: We consider the problem of multiterminal secret key agreement (SKA) in wiretapped source model where terminals have access to samples of correlated random variables from a publicly known joint probability distribution. The adversary has access to a side information variable, that is correlated with terminals' variables. We focus on a special type of terminal variables in this model, known as Tree-PIN, where the relation between variables of the terminals can be represented by a tree. The study of Tree-PIN source model is of practical importance as it can be realized in wireless network environments. We derive the wiretap secret key capacity of Tree-PIN with independent leakage, and give lower and upper bounds on the maximum achievable secret key length in finite-length regime. We then prove an upper bound and a lower bound for the wiretap secret key capacity of a wiretapped PIN and give two conditions for which these bounds are tight. We also extend our main result to two other related models and prove their corresponding capacities. At the end, we argue how our analysis suggests that public interaction is required for achieving the multiterminal WSK capacity.

The nontrivial radiative dynamics becomes visible for large photon momenta only. We use the model to calculate electromagnetic corrections for the two-pion contribution to hadronic vacuum polarization extracted from photon-inclusive two-pion decays. The corrections are insensitive to the details of the model and depend on the pion form factor only. Putting all relevant isospin violating corrections together, we obtain a shift Delta a_mu = (- 120 +/- 26 +/- 3) x 10^-11 to be applied to determinations of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon from photon-inclusive tau data.

description: Deep learning approaches to 3D shape segmentation are typically formulated as a multi-class labeling problem. Existing models are trained for a fixed set of labels, which greatly limits their flexibility and adaptivity. We opt for top-down recursive decomposition and develop the first deep learning model for hierarchical segmentation of 3D shapes, based on recursive neural networks. Starting from a full shape represented as a point cloud, our model performs recursive binary decomposition, where the decomposition network at all nodes in the hierarchy share weights. At each node, a node classifier is trained to determine the type (adjacency or symmetry) and stopping criteria of its decomposition. The features extracted in higher level nodes are recursively propagated to lower level ones. Thus, the meaningful decompositions in higher levels provide strong contextual cues constraining the segmentations in lower levels. Meanwhile, to increase the segmentation accuracy at each node, we enhance the recursive contextual feature with the shape feature extracted for the corresponding part. Our method segments a 3D shape in point cloud into an unfixed number of parts, depending on the shape complexity, showing strong generality and flexibility. It achieves the state-of-the-art performance, both for fine-grained and semantic segmentation, on the public benchmark and a new benchmark of fine-grained segmentation proposed in this work. We also demonstrate its application for fine-grained part refinements in image-to-shape reconstruction.

description: We explore the utility of the recently proposed alpha equations in providing a subgrid model for fluid turbulence. Our principal results are comparisons of direct numerical simulations of fluid turbulence using several values of the parameter alpha, including the limiting case where the Navier-Stokes equations are recovered. Our studies show that the large scale features, including statistics and structures, are preserved by the alpha models, even at coarser resolutions where the fine scales are not fully resolved. We also describe the differences that appear in simulations. We provide a summary of the principal features of the alpha equations, and offer some explanation of the effectiveness of these equations used as a subgrid model for three-dimensional fluid turbulence.

description: Text-level discourse parsing aims to unmask how two sentences in the text are related to each other. We propose the task of Visual Discourse Parsing, which requires understanding discourse relations among scenes in a video. Here we use the term scene to refer to a subset of video frames that can better summarize the video. In order to collect a dataset for learning discourse cues from videos, one needs to manually identify the scenes from a large pool of video frames and then annotate the discourse relations between them. This is clearly a time consuming, expensive and tedious task. In this work, we propose an approach to identify discourse cues from the videos without the need to explicitly identify and annotate the scenes. We also present a novel dataset containing 310 videos and the corresponding discourse cues to evaluate our approach. We believe that many of the multi-discipline AI problems such as Visual Dialog and Visual Storytelling would greatly benefit from the use of visual discourse cues.

description: Urban rapid transit infrastructure have been expanding at an exploding speed in Mainland China. Government subsidy used to be the sole fiscal support to the transit development for a long time. Now the government is facing enormous burden to support the expansion on its own. The major problems are the shortage of construction and revenue-expenditure gap in funding. Therefore, the municipalities are seeking to introduce foreign financing strategies to the transit funding to build a more profitable financing platform.

Hong Kong MTR has been a popular model among mainland cities for its “Rail + Property” model and efficient internal management. However, under current context, it is really difficult to completely copy the success of Hong Kong. Therefore, the implementation has shown several variations. Beijing Metro adds a parallel system to the existing one, which are under the operation of Public-Private Partnership with Hong Kong MTR Company. Wuhan, while paving the avenue for “Rail + Property”, employed Finance Lease to utilize the existing facilities to collect construction funding, which made time for property auction and development adjunct to and atop of the transit line.

In analyzing the implementation process of the two cases, the thesis found out the strategies of implementing financing strategies in Chinese mainland cities, and illustrated the context and the incentives for the variations. By reviewing the case of Wuhan and Beijing, the thesis analyzed how the two cities made localized adaptions, their contracts in the two implementations, and the key part that contributed to reaching the expected effects. In finding a working principal from these two cases, the thesis also analyzed the problems in implementation caused by the government role, the financing platform of metro company, and the mechanism of implementation.

description: Pyrolysis of nitrogen containing biofuels generates isocyanic acid (ICA) and we here studied if ICA also is present in cauterization smoke. Air sampling was performed when animal technicians that had developed airway symptoms worked with dehorning. Tissue heated in a laboratory model was used to mimic cauterization. ICA in air at the workplace exceeded 10 times the national exposure limit. In the laboratory, the ICA generated per mg tissue from heated hair, horn and nail was 13.9 ± 7.8, 24.0 ± 4.1 and 32.0 ± 2.9 µg, respectively. Three workers were medically examined and two were diagnosed with asthma and a third had severe airway problem that resembled asthma. The study shows that high levels of ICA are generated during cauterization of nitrogen-containing tissue. If this could trigger airway symptoms deserves to be investigated further.

Critically investigating the ideology underlying teaching practise
Creators: name: Johnson, Ayala Monique
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: Many educators hope to facilitate certain political and philosophical ideologies through educational practise. But are their interests, and those of their subject, supported in official curricula? In researching the history of home economics education, I have found support for ecological understandings and social justice ideology. I recently applied Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to the 2007 official BC home economics curriculum, seeking to find the ideologies underpinning curricular discourse, hoping that such analyses would be useful for informing pedagogies and future curricular rewrites. My research (Johnson, 2015) uncovered neo-liberal ideology dominating language in the official curriculum. The presence of this ideology promoted a social hierarchy in which the interests of current government were foregrounded over passive and subordinate construction of educators and students. The declarative language and transmissive style of education that I found contradicted possibilities for social justice education. This conservative approach prevented transformative potentials among educators and students and reduced the personal obligation of these actors to safeguard wholism, equity and ecological health. I propose to share my research findings, as well as to model how CDA can be applied to official and unofficial curricula. This could assist educators in better understanding the underlying ideologies and meanings present in the curricula they work with daily, and how such ideologies support or hinder professional aims.
The Implications of Planning Failure: Evaluating the Impacts of Land Reclamation Policies on Fishermen Communities in Bahrain

description: Civil unrest and dissident behavior are often identified in literature as strong indicators of a failing state. The relationship is observed globally, such as in the case of public strife in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The uprisings that took place throughout the Arab Spring have continued to the present day, begging the question: what conditions produced the current relationship between state and society? The following study investigates this question through the lens of state-led land reclamation policies and their impacts on fishermen communities, an indigenous faction of Bahraini civil society. As the case study suggests, while reclamation plans have ensured both economic and industrial growth for the state, they inevitably caused detrimental economic and social losses to an already disadvantaged community within society. The failure in planning, however, portrays a bleaker image of the government's inability and unwillingness to respond to civic complaints regarding public planning projects, leading to consequences which completely transformed the fishing industry and, with that, its labor market. More importantly, the neglectful nature of state policies produced amplified mistrust within the fisherman communities, creating a vicious cycle of uncooperative behavior. Using the research as a microcosm of state planning provides a framework for understanding the reciprocal between the polity and its citizens. The failure of planning in Bahrain, from process to practice, explains the current weakening of the state. As such, the study recommends, in addition to community-based initiatives, that immediate efforts be directed towards a response to the demands and concerns of society, thereby addressing the critical relationship of state and civil society.
