description: The procedure commonly used in textbooks for determining the eigenvalues and eigenstates for a particle in an attractive Coulomb potential is not symmetric in the way the boundary conditions at $r=0$ and $r \rightarrow \infty$ are considered. We highlight this fact by solving a model for the Coulomb potential with a cutoff (representing the finite extent of the nucleus); in the limit that the cutoff is reduced to zero we recover the standard result, albeit in a non-standard way. This example is used to emphasize that a more consistent approach to solving the Coulomb problem in quantum mechanics requires an examination of the non-standard solution. The end result is, of course, the same.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A desk study searched primary and grey literature, the WWW, and through personal communications, for any evidence of stock recovery plans or fisheries closures promoting recovery of depleted stocks. Rarely is complete information on stock recovery plans reported, so analysis of this provisional listing can only be indicative, but forms a useful starting point for a database on this important subject. Some 58 cases were found where a recovery effort has apparently been attempted, with 11 (46%) for demersal resources, 8 (67%) for pelagic fish stocks and 8 (67%) for invertebrates, showing some degree of success. Although it is premature to discuss success rates or time for recovery given that most recovery efforts began after 1995, where recovery times have been documented, these ranged from 3+ to 30 yr, with demersal recovery periods generally longer than for pelagics. A categorisation of resource suggests that for ‘irregular’, ‘spasmodic’ and ‘periodic’ resources, a formal recovery effort is only likely to be successful short of closure if carried out in periods of high productivity, and a main objective of management should be to ensure survival of a broad range of age classes until the next good period for recruitment. For invertebrates, ‘recovery’ may be spontaneous, and tied to declines in finfish predators. Other information relevant to recovery planning was reviewed, including empirical estimates of periods of natural low productivity from relevant time series. From published estimates of periodicities in finfish time-series and the long-term climatic data which would affect recovery time, the median duration of poor production and presumably poor recruitment, is 4-6 yr for non-depleted stocks, and 75% of periods of poor production fall within intervals of 10-11 yr or less. Other studies however suggest that periods as long as 30 yr may be dominant. A simulation assumed that a stock is now within a poor recruitment regime, and that adding 2 better-than-average ycs is one feasible criterion for recovery. The probability of good recruitment occurring, and the further duration of a poor regime, determine the duration of the recovery period. For a range of assumptions for these 2 parameters, recovery time may extend from 4-8 yr to 14-22 yr or longer. The stock-recruit relationship has been shown to differ for Canadian stocks between good and poor regimes, and the dangers of estimating recovery times by extrapolating from spawner-recruit data collected during high production regimes is illustrated.

(Re)Marked: Holocaust Commemorative Tattoos in a Time of Renewed Antisemitism
Creators: Klein, Reisa
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2020

SSHRC IDG awarded 2020: The compulsory tattooed number on Holocaust survivors’ from Auschwitz acts as an embodied public record of the attempted extermination of Eastern European Jews during the Second World War. As Holocaust survivors are aging and dying these material archives are disappearing, leading to a period described as the “fourth wave” of public Holocaust memory, when no living eyewitnesses remain. In the face of this loss, some descendants of Jewish Holocaust survivors are choosing to tattoo copies of these numbers on their bodies as well as other commemorative Holocaust symbols, such as the yellow “Jude star.” This practice is particularly significant in light of the Jewish scriptural proscription against tattoos, and this research will deepen our understanding of commemorative holocaust tattoos in contemporary culture.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Some examples of programmes for rebuilding salmon stocks in North America and in the Baltic are provided to illustrate the rate of recovery of stocks currently undergoing restoration and rebuilding. Trajectories for stock rebuilding depend on many parameters which are not known with certainty or which may change over time. Theoretical rebuilding trajectories for stocks with known stock and recruitment parameters are examined. The conditions under which stock rebuilding can be carried out are simulated and discussed. Subsequently, the probability of extinction under different circumstances for some stocks in the USA which are well below their conservation limits are also examined. One of the key findings from these studies has been the difficulty in rebuilding salmon stocks which have fallen below Slim and the need to maintain all salmon stocks at or above this level is emphasised.

description: Lameness is a common disease on dairy herds with implications on animal welfare and herd production. Digital dermatitis is one of most common infectious causes of lameness. Footbaths (FB) are commonly used on California dairies to prevent infectious foot diseases. However, few studies have evaluated FB design, dimensions, and hoof bath solution management. Based on current industry recommendations, the FB volume should be 1 liter per cow. The objective of this study was to describe footbath dimensions and management practices on California dairies.

Pathways to Reconciliation: A Knowledge Exchange Forum or Dena' acla' nee' dale Focused on the History of Tuberculosis in Treaty 8
Creators: Long, Richard
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2019

SSHRC CG awarded 2019: Tuberculosis (TB) is an endemic disease within many Indigenous communities in the Treaty 8 territory. It has roots both within the historical contexts of the affected communities, and the historic failure of clinical medicine to achieve culturally relevant health outcomes. In February, 2020, we are planning to host a knowledge exchange forum that brings together members from distinct disciplines in order to mobilize knowledge about persistent TB in northern Alberta and Saskatchewan. Our objective is to initiate a dialogue about TB prevention and care, led by community members and those in the humanities to disseminate knowledge, and facilitate partnerships for reconciliation. Eventual elimination of TB is a goal within our grasp, but depends on culturally relevant programs working within communities towards improved health outcomes. Conceptually, our knowledge exchange event willfocus on the knowledge held by community members, and the historical record including the rights of Indigenous peoples as they relate to the interface between government/western medicine/universities, and communities living with persistently high rates of TB. It will be an opportunity to learn about the lived experience of those who face the potential risk of acquiring TB daily, and those who have dealt with it in the past. A purely biomedical understanding of TB prevention and care is not enough. Enriched partnerships with communities and the humanities provide an environment within which the immediate goal of TB elimination and the larger goal of self-determination can occur. Without renewed partnerships and relationships between diverse TB stakeholders, the spirit of reconciliation is not likely achievable.

description: In this study, we investigated the sources of organic pollutants associated with fine (PM2.5) and coarse (PM2.5–10) atmospheric particulate matter in Doha, Qatar based on an eight-month sampling campaign conducted from May to December 2015. Multiple organic compound tracers including 36 PAH members, 25 n-alkane homologs, 17 hopanes, and 12 steranes were used for organic aerosols source apportionment. Source apportionment based on specific molecular markers, molecular diagnostic ratios/indices, and positive matrix factorization (PMF) modeling showed that similar sources are responsible for both fine- and coarse-particle organic pollutants. PMF analysis showed that biogenic aerosols, fugitive dust emissions, gasoline engine emissions, diesel engine emissions, and heavy oil combustion were the five main pollution sources of organic aerosols, which agreed well with the results from the diagnostic ratios analysis. The conditional bivariate probability functions (CPF) and potential source contribution function (PSCF) indicated that both regional (i.e., mixed biogenic/secondary particles and oil refinery/shipping emissions) and local sources contributed to airborne organic aerosol concentrations observed at the site, depending on the wind speed and direction. It appears that the relatively high levels of organic pollutants were contributed by local anthropogenic sources, such as fossil fuel combustion, vehicular emissions, and fugitive dust emissions. The high levels of local contributions indicated that there might be great opportunities for Qatar to considerably reduce emissions so that population exposures to carbonaceous aerosols and the public health risks associated with air pollution can be minimized. Implications: Multiple organic tracers and various source apportionment techniques have been used for convincing source apportionment. It was found that both long-range and local sources have a significant impact on atmospheric carbonaceous particles in the area, depending on the wind conditions. Relatively high levels of organic pollutants attributed to local anthropogenic sources indicate that there are great opportunities for Qatar to establish and implement more efficient pollution control measures and policies. Regional sources such as petroleum refineries and shipping-vessels emissions in the Gulf region should also be regulated and managed through regional cooperation to improve the air quality in the region.
Cause and Context: An Experimental Methods Approach to Casual Discourse
Creators: Corkum, Philip
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2020

SSHRC IDG awarded 2020: What we call a cause can vary from one context to another. Causal statements, where one identifies the cause of an event, are sensitive to contextually variant factors such as the circumstances of the statement, and the interests of the interlocutors participating in the discourse. The linguistic mechanism encoding this context sensitivity is not well understood, and there is no consensus even as to whether this mechanism is pragmatic (concerned with language usage) or semantic (concerned with linguistic meaning). The aim of the proposed project is to identify the extent and nature of the context sensitivity exhibited by causal statements. The methodology of the project is to study the linguistic behaviour of English users for causal statements through experimental philosophy, using techniques traditionally associated with cognitive science. As this is an emergent and controversial methodology in philosophy, the primary researcher and graduate research assistants will critically assess this methodology through a review of the experimental philosophy literature. Using this literature review as a guideline, we will design and conduct online surveys for causal statements; and then compile, and run statistical analyses on, the resulting data. The surveys will consist of diagnostic tests for various candidate pragmatic and semantic mechanisms. After running surveys for basic causal statements, we will run surveys for a range of more complex causal statements, including omissions, overdetermination, and preemption. Taken together, these cases will contribute to a general account of the context sensitivity of causal statements.
Visual response properties of MSTd emerge from a sparse population code

description: Neurons in the dorsal subregion of the medial superior temporal (MSTd) area respond to large, complex patterns of retinal flow, implying a role in the analysis of self-motion. Some neurons are selective for the expanding radial motion that occurs as an observer moves through the environment ("heading"), and computational models can account for this finding. However, ample evidence suggests that MSTd neurons may exhibit a continuum of visual response selectivity to large-field motion stimuli, but the underlying computational principles by which these response properties are derived remain poorly understood. Here we describe a computational model of MSTd based on the hypothesis that neurons in MSTd efficiently encode the continuum of large-field retinal flow patterns on the basis of inputs received from neurons in MT, with receptive fields that resemble basis vectors recovered with nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF). These assumptions are sufficient to quantitatively simulate neurophysiological response properties of MSTd cells such as radial, circular, and spiral motion tuning, suggesting that these properties might simply be a by-product of MSTd neurons performing dimensionality reduction on their inputs. At the population level, model MSTd accurately predicts heading using a sparse distributed code, consistent with the idea that biological MSTd might operate in a sparseness regime well-suited to efficiently encode a number of self-motion variables. The present work provides an alternative to the template-model view of MSTd, and offers a biologically plausible account of the receptive field structure across a wide range of visual response properties in MSTd.
Harnessing Metabolic Pathways for the Treatment of Insulin Resistance-Associated Immune Dysfunction

Year: 2018

SSHRC NFRF-E awarded 2019: With the requested funding, I will apply my expertise in T cells and metabolism to identify new potential metabolic drugs that can enhance immune function. We hypothesize that a Insulin-Resistance (IR)-related immune and metabolic defect contributes to increased risk of cancer during obesity, and that targeting immune cell metabolism with chemical modulators can improve vaccination-induced protection against cancer. To this end, we propose to carry out drug screening in a novel metabolism-based platform, to identify candidate immune adjuvants capable of boosting anti-tumor immunity when applied in an immunotherapy, with the following aims: I. Delineate the impact of obesity and insulin resistance on T cell-mediated anti-tumor response. II. Identify novel immunotherapeutic agents through metabolic screening. III. Harness cellular metabolic pathways to improve anti-tumor T cell responses.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Case histories of several stock recovery histories, both successful and unsuccessful are reviewed including Gulf of Mexico king mackerel, north Atlantic swordfish and western Atlantic bluefin tuna. The review suggests that there are several factors which greatly influence the success or failure of stock recovery, regardless of the quality of the scientific assessments. These include: the degree of depletion, the time horizon for recovery, the homogeneity of the fisheries participating during recovery, discount rates for participating fisheries, stability of markets and the stability of future allocations. Suggestions are made formulating recovery plans.

description: A simple but novel driver system has been developed to operate the wire gating grid of a Time Projection Chamber (TPC). This system connects the wires of the gating grid to its driver via low impedance transmission lines. When the gating grid is open, all wires have the same voltage allowing drift electrons, produced by the ionization of the detector gas molecules, to pass through to the anode wires. When the grid is closed, the wires have alternating higher and lower voltages causing the drift electrons to terminate at the more positive wires. Rapid opening of the gating grid with low pickup noise is achieved by quickly shorting the positive and negative wires to attain the average bias potential with N-type and P-type MOSFET switches. The circuit analysis and simulation software SPICE shows that the driver restores the gating grid voltage to 90% of the opening voltage in less than 0.20 $μ$s. When tested in the experimental environment of a time projection chamber larger termination resistors were chosen so that the driver opens the gating grid in 0.35 $μ$s. In each case, opening time is basically characterized by the RC constant given by the resistance of the switches and terminating resistors and the capacitance of the gating grid and its transmission line. By adding a second pair of N-type and P-type MOSFET switches, the gating grid is closed by restoring 99% of the original charges to the wires within 3 $μ$s.

description: Given a simple Lie group G of rank 1, we consider compact pseudo-Riemannian manifolds (M,g) of signature (p,q) on which G can act conformally. Precisely, we determine the smallest possible value for the index min(p,q) of the metric. When the index is optimal and G non-exceptional, we prove that the metric must be conformally flat, confirming the idea that in a "good" dynamical context, a geometry is determined by its automorphisms group. This completes anterior investigations on pseudo-Riemannian conformal actions of semi-simple Lie groups of maximal real-rank. Combined with these results, we obtain as corollary the list of semi-simple Lie groups without compact factor that can act on compact Lorentzian manifolds. We also derive consequences in CR geometry via the Fefferman fibration.

My Data Body / Your Data Body
Creators: Oliver, Marilene Julie
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2020

SSHRC IDG awarded 2020: Building on research on the use of the medically scanned body to create artistic prints, sculptures and installations, I will work with radiologists and computer scientists to create two art installations, My Data Body, which focuses on representing by own medical and personal data, and Your Data Body, which will focus on representing the data of others. My Data Body will provide viewers with the experience of exploring a full body 3D and 4D magnetic resonance scan dataset in virtual reality (VR).Your Data Body will be made with ‘donated’ datasets of body parts made visible and manipulable in augmented reality (AR), where the virtual overlays on reality. Embedded in the body parts will be a personal story (also 'donated'), that will be audible as long as the scanned body part is being interacted with. Both works will be part of installations that include prints and sculptures generated from the data. My Data Body/Your Data Body will raise many ethical and theoretical questions as well as significant technicaland aesthetic challenges such as; what are the ethics of working artistically my own data and the data of others? What new aesthetic considerations are raised when viewers are able to enter into, pick up and manipulate 3D and 4D scanned bodies? What do these new visions of the digitized body and identity reveal about the human in the digital age? How do they challenge or support existing theoretical frameworks surrounding posthumanism, post­structuralism and technofeminism?

Devotional Cults and Medieval Nara Buddhism: Explorations in Lived Religion
Creators: Quinter, David
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2020

SSHRC IG awarded 2021: This project investigates how medieval Japanese monastics from Nara-area schools performed cultic practices. But it is also concerned with how modern scholars treat the "lived religion" of those practices. My focus on creative syntheses of material, visual, and ritual culture in medieval Nara devotional cults has been influenced by the study of lived religion. One aim of this project is to show how characterizations in the in the study of lived religion reproduce oppositions between the official and popular, clerical and lay, and doctrine and practice that the field sought to overcome.
A Wigner Function Approach to Coherence in a Talbot-Lau Interferometer

description: Using a thermal gas, we model the signal of a trapped interferometer. This interferometer uses two short laser pulses, separated by time T, which act as a phase grating for the matter waves. Near time 2T, there is an echo in the cloud's density due to the Talbot-Lau effect. Our model uses the Wigner function approach and includes a weak residual harmonic trap. The analysis shows that the residual potential limits the interferometer's visibility, shifts the echo time of the interferometer, and alters its time dependence. Loss of visibility can be mitigated by optimizing the initial trap frequency just before the interferometer cycle begins.

Decolonizing the Jesuit Relations from New France
Creators: True, Micah
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2020

SSHRC IG awarded 2021: This project reconceives of the Jesuit Relations as the result of dialogue instead of the sole labour of dedicated, scholarly priests. It seeks to account for how the Jesuits' Indigenous interlocutors contributed to the texts, and how those contributions were subsequently masked by missionary authors and editors. Indigenous sources are quoted or credited selectively in the Relations, and previous studies have assessed their contributions to the texts on that basis. As my own research has suggested, however, there is good reason to think that significant changes to the raw material of the texts were made in both New France and Paris prior to publication, making the printed books an unreliable record of how---and what---Indigenous people contributed to them. Instead of relying on the Relations alone, this project will draw on sources that are related to the published texts but distinct from them, including manuscript reports, letters, dictionaries, and journals. Comparison of these materials to the Relations will bring to light the words and ideas of Indigenous people that were subsequently edited out, translated in potentially misleading ways, or not attributed to their sources.

Externalities of Disclosing Audit Partner Identity in the US: Evidence from Form AP
Creators: Wang, Ke
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2019

SSHRC IDG awarded 2019: In December 2015, after several rounds of consultation, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) adopted a new rule (i.e., Rule 3211) to require disclosure of the audit engagement partner’s name in Form AP (PCAOB 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015). This requirement is meant to enhance the transparency of audit process and the accountability of individual audit partners. The objective of this research is to examine a potential spillover effect of the disclosure of the audit partner’s name in the US, and, in a broader sense, explore possible positive externalities of US reporting requirements. Specifically, we investigate whether a foreign audit firm provides higher quality audit services in its home market and other markets outside the US after mandatorily disclosing its engagement partner identity in the US. The issue of spillovers and externalities is intriguing, because understanding this issue potentially provides policy implications and, more specifically, allows auditing standard setters (US or foreign) to better assess future policy initiatives on audit partner identification.
Building Gender-Inclusive Entrepreneurial Ecosystems in Canada
Creators: Hughes, Karen
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2019

SSHRC IG awarded 2020: This project will generate rigorous, representative, findings on women's entrepreneurial outcomes and the impact of specific regional ecosystems, using intersectional analytical techniques. It will build on a well-established adult population survey, the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) Canada, that has collected data over the past two decades (2002-06 and 2013-2020 inclusive). From 2021-24, we will develop and refine special question modules on entrepreneurial ecosystems, performance outcomes, and socio-demographic background to be added to the core GEM Canada survey. Our approach will generate a unique data source, novel analysis, and excellent training opportunities for graduate students through four interrelated studies. Study 1 will examine gender gaps in performance between women and men entrepreneurs, using intersectional analysis and broader spectrum of outcomes than has been analyzed to date. Study 2 will empirically examine theoretical arguments that women's enterprise offers a 'false promise' of economic opportunity, focusing on understudied dimensions of quality of working life, and comparing entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs--an element missing from debates thus far. Study 3 will explore questions about the short- and longer-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic for women entrepreneurs, using an intersectional lens, and bringing valuable comparative perspectives between Canada and the United States. Study 4 will build upon findings from Studies 1-3, to conduct a comparative analysis of regional ecosystems, focusing on the support ecosystem (e.g. government, non-government entrepreneurial support and advisory services) to better understand the specific supports and approaches needed to build 'inclusive ecosystems' for a diverse range of women entrepreneurs.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.ICES has traditionally given fishery management advice on a stock by stock basis. Recent problems in implementing this advice, particularly for the demersal fisheries of the North Sea, have highlighted the limitations of this approach. In the long-term it would be desirable to give advice which accounts for such mixed-fishery effects, but in the short-term there is a need for approaches which can resolve the conflicting management advice for different species within the same fishery and generate catch or effort advice which accounts for the mixed-species nature of the fishery. This paper documents a recent approach which has been used to address these problems. The approach takes the single-species advice for each species in the fishery as a starting point, then attempts to resolve these into consistent catch or effort advice using fleet-disaggregated catch-forecasts in combination with explicitly stated management priorities for each stock. Some results are presented for the demersal fisheries of the North Sea and these highlight that the development of such approaches will also require development of the ways in which catch data are collected and compiled.

From 'Monster' to Mentor: Developing PhD Supervision Competencies
Creators: Ruetalo, Victoria
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2020

SSHRC IDG awarded 2020: This project will develop a framework of basic competencies for PhD supervision across the University of Alberta (U of A) and lay a foundation for similar work to happen on Canadian campuses. Beyond quantitative measures of performance, the competencies will be invested in pedagogical humane­centred qualitative values (HuMetricsHSS) that will provide more nuance to any simplistic standard, and will better guide PhD supervisors in performing their duties. Through surveys, focus groups, and faculty evaluation documents the team will measure attitudes, perceptions, and current and desired expectations. The multi­method research will also include interviews of Associate Deans Graduate across U15 institutions to understand the Canadian context for the U of A case study. All the data will be collected and analyzed through a values­centred intersectional, and an equity, diversity, and inclusion lens.
