description: [Abridged] We investigate the global galaxy evolution over 12 Gyr (0.051.7, we set alpha steepening with (1+z). The absolute magnitude M*_FUV brightens in the entire range 02 it is on average brighter than in the literature, while phi* is smaller. Our total LD shows a peak at z=2, present also when considering all sources of uncertainty. The SFRD history peaks as well at z=2. It rises by a factor of 6 during 2 Gyr (from z=4.5 to z=2), and then decreases by a factor of 12 during 10 Gyr down to z=0.05. This peak is mainly produced by a similar peak within the population of galaxies with -21.5<=M_FUV<=-19.5 mag. As times goes by, the total SFRD is dominated by fainter and fainter galaxies. The presence of a clear peak at z=2 and a fast rise at z>2 of the SFRD is compelling for models of galaxy formation. The mean dust attenuation A_FUV of the global galaxy population rises by 1 mag during 2 Gyr from z=4.5 to z=2, reaches its maximum at z=1 (A_FUV=2.2 mag), and then decreases by 1.1 mag during 7 Gyr down to z=0. The dust attenuation maximum is reached 2 Gyr after the SFRD peak, implying a contribution from the intermediate-mass stars to the dust production at z<2.

description: New low-temperature thermochronology data from clastic sedimentary rocks in the northern Richardson Mountains, Canada, indicate significant exhumational cooling during late Eocene–early Oligocene time. Apatite (U-Th-Sm)/He (AHe) data were collected from 19 Proterozoic–Paleocene rocks across a 115 km transect. Eighty-eight single-grain AHe dates range from 300 ± 5 Ma to 16 ± 4 Ma but most dates (65%) range 56–24 Ma. AHe dates are generally younger than the stratigraphic ages, indicative of thermal resetting by burial. Additionally, zircon (U-Th)/He (ZHe) data were collected from two Jurassic sandstones. The ten ZHe dates range from 831 ± 12 Ma to 291 ± 4 Ma and are older than the stratigraphic age, which limits maximum burial to <160°C. Our results from thermal history modeling indicate three phases of cooling, during the Paleocene–early Eocene (>65–50 Ma), late Eocene–early Oligocene (40–30 Ma), and late Oligocene–early Miocene (30–15 Ma). Most samples were sensitive to cooling during the first and second phases, whereas the third phase is not as well constrained. The rocks were close to surface temperatures and below the sensitivity of AHe analysis since the early–middle Miocene. The results suggest a previously unrecognized phase of cooling and inferred deformation in the northern Richardson Mountains during late Eocene–early Oligocene time. Our findings contribute to previous work that recognizes Late Cenozoic deformation along the eastern margin of the Northern Cordillera, in the northeastern Brooks Range (e.g. O’Sullivan et al., 1993; 1998b) and in the Mackenzie Mountains (Enkelmann et al., 2019). We investigated the potential mechanisms of this widespread deformation and found that the exhumation may relate to kinematic changes of the North American plate relative to structural trends along the margin of the Northern Cordillera.

description: Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM) represent a promising alternative to classical photomultipliers, for instance, for the detection of photons in high energy physics and medical physics. In the present work, electrical characterizations of test devices - manufactured by ST Microelectronics - are presented. SiPMs with an area of 3.5x3.5 micron^2 and a cell pitch of 54 micron were manufactured as arrays of 64x64 cells and exhibiting a fill factor of 31%. The capacitance of SiPMs was measured as a function of reverse bias voltage at frequencies ranging from from 20 Hz up to 1 MHz and temperatures from 300 K down to 85 K. While leakage currents were measured at temperatures from 400 K down to 85 K. Thus, the threshold voltage - i.e., voltage corresponding to that at which the multiplication regime for the leakage current begins - could be determined as a function of temperature. Finally, an electrical model suited to reproduce the dependence of the frequency dependence of capacitance is presented.

description: This paper aims to identify the supporting and limiting factors of Kosovar entrepreneurship targeting. The research is based on the Ajzen Planning Behavior Theory and in a survey of a sample composed by 253 third-year studies students' that was conducted in 2010 at a public university and two private universities. Testing the hypothesis is done in order to identify the differences between students who have goals for entrepreneurship and those who do not have. Some important variables of this research are the impact on family tradition in business, education and training, university ownership type, social environment or subjective norms, institutional environment. The results show that students coming from private universities, families with business traditions, who have business experience are more likely to target the entrepreneurship in the future. On the other hand, students who perceive the institutional environment and university infrastructure as unfavorable are less likely to target the entrepreneurship. This paper has implications for policies and for promoting entrepreneurship among young people, and especially policies that impact on reducing corruption and unfair competition because they limit entrepreneurship goals. Key words: Entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurship goals, Ajzen's theory, subjective norms, institutional environment

description: The way Chineseness is managed by the state in ethnic Chinese majority nations is examined as a late-industrializing initiative. Using Singapore as the case study, identifications with Chineseness were studied for the key themes within late-industrializing discourse constructions. Chinese Singaporean respondents were asked for their interpretation of Chineseness in relation to their Western expatriate and Chinese mainlander colleagues. In some cases, Orientalist constructions emerged. This inquiry found the moderating factors of Orientalist discourse replications to be the respondent’s childhood socioeconomic background and linguistic primacy. The findings lent insights to the persistence of Orientalist constructions amongst individuals in late-industrializing societies. Insights as to how late-industrializing discourses constructions are moderated by factors distinctive from first-mover ones were sought. These insights enrich the theoretical framework of nation branding studies, a recent offshoot of nation studies with a marketing slant. Sociological considerations on the reproduction of late-industrializing predispositions were integrated through the concept of marcotted developmentalism. Marcotted developmentalism is advanced as the thesis’ conceptual framework. It explains the mediation of the late-industrializing landscape by two distinctive features. Firstly, ethnic management initiatives communicate the urgency of accelerated economic development amongst late-industrializing societies. Secondly, it emphasizes the presence of dual hegemony (i.e. Western dominance and Chinese ascendency) within the late-industrializing political economy.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The synthesis and characterization of late transition metal complexes combined with the β-substituted 3ʹ-(diphenylphosphino)-2,2ʹ:5ʹ,2ʺ-terthiophene (PT₃) to yield metal-oligothiophene hybrid complexes are reported. These new complexes (shown on the following page) were studied with absorption, emission, and transient absorption spectroscopies, electrochemistry and X-ray crystallography. Ru(II) and Os(II) bis(diimine) complexes (52-53 and 54-55, respectively) containing PT₃ in two different coordination modes (PS and PC bound) are reported. The binding mode is shown to affect the structural, photophysical and electronic properties of the complexes. Transient absorption spectra and lifetimes were obtained for all the complexes, and support a PT₃ ligand-based lowest excited state in the case of the PS bound complexes, and a charge separated lowest excited state in the PC bound complexes. The DFT calculations and experimental results agree well. Cyclometalated iridium (III) complexes (58-63) were synthesized using microwave irradiation. In addition to the PS and PC coordination modes observed in the group 8 complexes, a third, monodentate, coordination mode was observed (P). The lowest energy absorption band and emission band shift based on the PT₃ coordination mode. The nature of the excited state lifetimes did not change with coordination mode; all were assigned as a PT3 ligand-based excited state, however, the excited state lifetimes are influenced by the coordination mode. Heteroleptic Cu(I) complexes (75-76) were synthesized and yielded three and four coordinate complexes. The electrochemical and photophysical properties of these complexes vary with solvent. Minor changes are observed in the absorption spectra when obtained in different solvents, but interesting differences are observed in the electrochemical reversibility, excited state lifetimes, and profiles of the emission and transient absorption spectra.

Development of Simplified Analytical methods for In-situ Detection of Ammonia and Urea in Aqueous Solutions
Creators: name: Haq, Shamshad Ul
Publisher: name: Graduate Studies
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Environmental Sciences
subject: Chemistry--Analytical

description: In-field analysis of nitrogen-containing compounds such as ammonia and urea remains challenging due to the limitations of conventional methods such as non-portability, the toxicity of reactants, and the need for a trained operator. This study presents a colorimetric pH detection paper-based sensing as a promising technology which has the potential to replace conventional methods such as spectrophotometry and electrochemical methods for in-field screening of nitrogen-containing compounds. The application of filter paper and smart-handy devices (e.g., the smartphone camera and RGB app.) makes these sensing devices convenient, inexpensive, and suitable for instant field application. Moreover, the use of non-toxic reagents further stimulates the exclusivity of this technique. Besides, the pervaporation and headspace gas diffusion eliminate the interferences and sample pre-treatment requirement, which reduce the analysis time and cost.Cost-effective, highly sensitive, and convenient anthocyanin-based paper sensors for in-field determination of ammonia and urea were fabricated in this project. Sensors were fabricated by immobilization of anthocyanin extracted from natural sources such as red cabbage (Red-C), blueberry (Blue-B) and blackberry (Black-B) in deionized water (Aq100) and 80% ethanol-water mixture (Aq20Et80) by simple immersion. Ammonium ion and urea were converted to ammonia by alkalinization and thermo-catalytic urea hydrolysis, respectively. The generated ammonia is detected by the anthocyanin-based sensor. The sensor reaction zone imaged by a smartphone (or flatbed scanner) and processed for RGB quantification by ImageJ software to correlate the analyte concentration with red intensity absorbance. The anthocyanin-based ammonia sensor offered a dynamic linear working range (1-10 mg NH3-N/L) with 0.2911 mg NH3-N/L limit of detection (LOD). Similarly, the anthocyanin-based urea sensor presented a dynamic linear working range (5-30 mg urea-N/L) with 0.2911 mg urea-N/L limit of detection (LOD). The accuracy of the proposed paper-based sensors was validated by the standard spectrophotometry method, which makes the fabricated sensors suitable for in-field analysis.

description: Este trabajo reconstruye las carreras de policías que se encuentran cumpliendo una sentencia por el delito de secuestro en la Penitenciaría de Santa Martha desde el punto de vista de su itinerario "interrumpido" dentro de las instituciones policiales mexicanas. Las historias de vida de estos policías nos muestran, mediante el caso extremo de la autoeliminación funcional de sus miembros, la lógica del funcionamiento institucional policial en México. Se trata de: a) la selección arbitraria de individuos criminalizables, en este caso los mismos policías; b) la condena legal como estrategia para "cancelar" el poder arbitrario de elementos cuyo quehacer se ha vuelto problemático; c) la estrategia punitive institucionalizada como recordatorio de la lealtad debida a los acuerdos y clanes locales; y d) el requerimiento de aprehensiones simbólicas desde el poder político, mediático y civil. Estos rasgos nos conducen a identificar el hacer cotidiano y normalizado de una institución que se alimenta y sustenta a sí misma y ejerce el abuso de poder para su propia perpetuación, aunque para ello sea necesario actuar en contra de algunos de sus propios elementos a quienes instrumentaliza como víctimas propiciatorias para la opinión pública. Una vez en prisión, es significativo que la percepción de su propia inocencia no se base tanto en una negación de los hechos por los que han sido condenados, o en la falsedad de las acusaciones, sino en el haber sido víctimas de las mismas lógicas de abuso y extorsión que la institución aplica en contra de la población civil. Esta victimización se construye a partir del momento en que se desencadenada un evento contrario a la lealtad obligatoria a los compañeros o a la obediencia debida a la jerarquía. Los "relatos de inocencia" que narran los presos no son, por tanto, historias de "denuncia de falsedad," sino expresiones de la percepción de un tipo de injusticia relacionada con el haber sido escogidos arbitrariamente para cumplir un papel simbólico que, en último término, estará al servicio del sostenimiento de las estructuras de poder.

description: The production of charm quark jets in association with electroweak gauge bosons at the LHC can be used as a tool to constrain quark parton distribution functions (PDFs). Motivated by recent measurements at the Tevatron and LHC, we calculate cross sections for $W/Z+c$, comparing these to $W/Z+\textrm{jet}$, for various PDF sets. The cross-section differences can be understood in terms of the different underlying PDFs, with the strange quark distribution being particularly important for $W+c$ production. We suggest measurements of appropriately defined ratios and comment on how these measurements at the LHC can be used to extract information on the strange and charm content of the proton at high $Q^2$ scales.

description: We investigate the infrared dynamics of a nonsupersymmetric SU(X) gauge theory featuring an adjoint fermion, Nf Dirac flavors and an Higgs-like complex Nf x Nf scalar which is a gauge singlet. We first establish the existence of an infrared stable perturbative fixed point and then investigate the spectrum near this point. We demonstrate that this theory naturally features a light scalar degree of freedom to be identified with the dilaton and elucidate its physical properties. We compute the spectrum and demonstrate that at low energy the nonperturbative part of the spectrum of the theory is the one of pure supersymmetric Yang-Mills. We can therefore determine the exact nonperturbative fermion condensate and deduce relevant properties of the nonperturbative spectrum of the theory. We also show that the intrinsic scale of super Yang-Mills is exponentially smaller than the scale associated to the breaking of conformal and chiral symmetry of the theory.

description: Enterococcus spp. are ubiquitous in the gastrointestinal tracts of animals and the environment and are important nosocomial pathogens. The use of antimicrobials in food producing animals along with the ability of enterococci to acquire antimicrobial resistance leads to concern about the contamination of retail meat products with antimicrobial resistant Enterococcus spp. from food production animals. The concern is that the antimicrobial resistant enterococci from retail meats may transfer to the human population and cause disease. In addition, increased resistant enterococci and genes in the environment may increase overall risk their transfer to humans. The objective of this thesis was to contribute to the surveillance of Enterococcus spp. from food animal production through a scoping review and the characterization of enterococcal isolates from surveillance in Alberta, Canada using whole genome sequencing. The scoping review followed PRISMA and JBI guidelines and included 57 articles, of which 87.7% identified E. faecium and the majority included isolates from human clinical or commensal samples. Significant findings from the articles included the increasing prevalence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci in hospitals and the importance of surveillance for enterococci in humans, animals, and the environment. E. faecium (n=107) and E. faecalis (n=132) were isolated from research and surveillance samples previously collected from beef cattle feces, broiler poultry feces, and beef and poultry retail meats in Alberta, Canada. Antimicrobial susceptibility and whole genome sequencing with comparative genomics were performed on the isolates. The odds of multiclass resistance in E. faecium was about 3 times that of E. faecalis after adjusting for sample source and clustering (OR 3.09; 95% CI: 1.48, 6.48). In contrast, a higher number of virulence genes were found in E. faecalis as compared to E. faecium. Generally antimicrobial resistance genotype showed good sensitivity and specificity for use as a presumptive predictor of the corresponding phenotype. Comparative genomic analyses showed distinct clustering within sample source for E. faecium, but not for E. faecalis. Overall, this work supports the usefulness of whole genome sequencing for surveillance of Enterococcus spp. and further characterizes a population of E. faecium and E. faecalis isolates from surveillance programs in Alberta, Canada.

description: A recent theoretical work [Nature Phys., 7, 490 (2011)] has demonstrated that external non-equilibrium perturbations may be used to convert a two-dimensional semiconductor, initially in a topologically trivial state, into a Floquet topological insulator. Here, we develop a non-trivial extension of these ideas to three-dimensional systems. In this case, we show that a two-photon resonance may provide the necessary twist needed to transform an initially unremarkable band structure into a topological Floquet spectrum. We provide both an intuitive, geometrical, picture of this phenomenon and also support it by an exact solution of a realistic lattice model that upon irradiation features single topological Dirac modes at the two-dimensional boundary of the system. It is shown that the surface spectrum can be controlled by choosing the polarization and frequency of the driving electromagnetic field. Specific experimental realizations of a three-dimensional Floquet topological insulator are proposed.

description: Teleost fishes have evolved a number of sound-producing mechanisms, including vibrations of the swim bladder. In addition to sound production, the swim bladder also aids in sound reception. While the production and reception of sound by the swim bladder has been described separately in fishes, the extent to which it operates for both in a single species is unknown. Here, using morphological, electrophysiological and modelling approaches, we show that the swim bladder of male plainfin midshipman fish (Porichthys notatus) exhibits reproductive state-dependent changes in morphology and function for sound production and reception. Nonreproductive males possess rostral ‘horn-like’ swim bladder extensions that enhance low-frequency (less than 800 Hz) sound pressure sensitivity by decreasing the distance between the swim bladder and inner ear, thus enabling pressure-induced swim bladder vibrations to be transduced to the inner ear. By contrast, reproductive males display enlarged swim bladder sonic muscles that enable the production of advertisement calls but also alter swim bladder morphology and increase the swim bladder to inner ear distance, effectively reducing sound pressure sensitivity. Taken together, we show that the swim bladder exhibits a seasonal functional plasticity that allows it to effectively mediate both the production and reception of sound in a vocal teleost fish.

description: We investigate buckling of soft elastic capsules under negative pressure or for reduced capsule volume. Based on nonlinear shell theory and the assumption of a hyperelastic capsule membrane, shape equations for axisymmetric and initially spherical capsules are derived and solved numerically. A rich bifurcation behavior is found, which is presented in terms of bifurcation diagrams. The energetically preferred stable configuration is deduced from a least-energy principle both for prescribed volume and prescribed pressure. We find that buckled shapes are energetically favorable already at smaller negative pressures and larger critical volumes than predicted by the classical buckling instability. By preventing self-intersection for strongly reduced volume, we obtain a complete picture of the buckling process and can follow the shape from the initial undeformed state through the buckling instability into the fully collapsed state. Interestingly, the sequences of bifurcations and stable capsule shapes differ for prescribed volume and prescribed pressure. In the buckled state, we find a relation between curvatures at the indentation rim and the bending modulus, which can be used to determine elastic moduli from experimental shape analysis.

description: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined as neurologic injury resulting from an external mechanical force, which is associated with long-term neurological and cognitive disability and affects individuals of all ages, ethnicities, and socioeconomic characteristics. TBI severe enough to cause hospitalization occurs in over 10 million people each year worldwide. TBI is the most common cause of death and long-term disability in children and young adults in developed countries. Currently, clinical assessment and neuroimaging (e.g. CT and MRI) are the most reliable techniques used for the diagnosis and prognosis of TBI. Unfortunately, this approach has considerable shortcomings when considering sensitivity and specificity of TBI diagnosis and prognosis. Disease stratification and the prediction of outcomes and are key problems for the management of severe TBI (sTBI).This study showed that metabolomics can be applied for the diagnosis and prognosis of sTBI using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and direct infusion tandem mass spectrometry (DI-MS/MS). The results are promising for the diagnose sTBI when compared to orthopedic injury (OI) controls and for the prognostication sTBI outcomes at 3, 6, and 12-months post-injury particularly in predicting poor outcomes from the good outcome. We also investigated the metabolomics on animal models for sTBI. Using the cortical controlled impact (CCI) mouse model of sTBI demonstrated a difference in metabolic profiles of CCI and CCI mice receiving a plastic CAP to cover the skull in the craniotome area (CCI+CAP) mice when compared to sham controls. Our result revealed that the highest degree of metabolic alterations occurs at 8 hours post-injury and that the CCI+CAP mice have a prolonged brain injury compared to CCI mice (assessed at 7 days post-injury).

description: Italy’s war at sea reflected the more general trends of the naval warfare in the Great War: a stalemate that turned into a war of naval attrition. Only after harsh losses to national shipping and with the support of its allies, as well as a difficult wartime transformation, the ''Regia Marina'' (Italian royal navy) gained victory in 1918.

description: In the Colombian case, were it not for the work of journalists like Juanita León, the details of Colombia's ever evolving war and the testimonies and experiences of the often forgotten Colombians who suffer it might disappear leaving few traces. No wonder journalism is considered both the noblest and most dangerous of Colombian professions. Or as Germán Arciniegas noted in the late 1940s during another period when the flow of information was also increasingly truncated by violence, "Freedom of the press makes democracy a reality ... the preservation of our democracy depends on this freedom."
Four-Dimensional Computed Tomography to Determine Normal Syndesmotic Motion and to Compare Motion after Rigid and Flexible Fixation of Syndesmotic Injuries

description: Syndesmotic injuries occur in up to one-quarter of all ankle fractures. Despite mitigating efforts, malreduction of the syndesmosis is common after both rigid and flexible fixation methods, causing inferior patient function. Conventional assessments of syndesmotic reduction do not account for normal syndesmotic motion with ankle range-of-motion (ROM). The aims of this thesis were to use four-dimensional computed tomography (4DCT) to determine normal syndesmotic motion and to investigate the impact of rigid and flexible fixation on postoperative syndesmotic kinematics. Fifty-eight uninjured ankles were imaged to quantify normal syndesmotic kinematics. Thirteen patients after rigid or flexible fixation underwent bilateral ankle 4DCT to evaluate postoperative syndesmotic kinematics. Measures of syndesmotic width including anterior, middle, and posterior syndesmosis distances as well as tibiofibular clear space and tibiofibular overlap were automatically extracted from 4DCT data. Sagittal translation and fibular rotation were also recorded. Linear mixed effects models were used to determine the position of the syndesmosis at neutral dorsiflexion as well as syndesmotic motion, defined as the change in syndesmotic measurements with ankle ROM.In uninjured ankles, various measures of syndesmotic width decreased by 0.7-1.1 mm as ankles moved from dorsiflexion to plantarflexion (p < 0.001). The fibula externally rotated by 1.2° with plantarflexion (p < 0.001). There was no significant motion in the sagittal plane (p = 0.43). Rigid fixation increased syndesmotic width compared to uninjured ankles when measured by middle syndesmotic distance and tibiofibular clear space only (p = 0.039 and 0.032 respectively). Rigid fixation demonstrated reduced motion compared to uninjured ankles in middle and posterior syndesmotic distance, tibiofibular clear space, and tibiofibular overlap (p < 0.01). There were no differences in syndesmotic position or motion between flexible fixation and uninjured ankles.Ankle plantarflexion leads to decreased syndesmotic width and fibular external rotation in uninjured ankles, indicating ankle position must be accounted for when performing syndesmotic imaging and fixation. Flexible fixation better restores syndesmotic position and motion compared to rigid fixation. These findings may be used to decrease the rate of syndesmotic malreduction and, consequently, improve post-surgical outcomes.

description: Norway managed to stay neutral during the First World War, but the war still crept into Norwegian life and impacted it in numerous ways. With a large merchant fleet – the fourth largest in the world – and heavily dependent upon imports, Norway’s relations with the belligerent parties became problematic soon after the outbreak of war. Less than a year into the war, Norway had to negotiate trade agreements with Great Britain that strongly favoured Britain and the Entente. That process culminated in April 1917 when Norway, through the “Tonnage Agreement”, gave Britain full control over the Norwegian Merchant Fleet. Norway thereby became the neutral ally.

description: Primordial non-Gaussianity is generated by interactions of the inflaton field, either self-interactions or couplings to other sectors. These two physically different mechanisms can lead to nearly indistinguishable bispectra of the equilateral type, but generate distinct patterns in the relative scaling of higher order moments. We illustrate these classes in a simple effective field theory framework where the flatness of the inflaton potential is protected by a softly broken shift symmetry. Since the distinctive difference between the two classes of interactions is the scaling of the moments, we investigate the implications for observables that depend on the series of moments. We obtain analytic expressions for the Minkowski functionals and the halo mass function for an arbitrary structure of moments, and use these to demonstrate how different classes of interactions might be distinguished observationally. Our analysis casts light on a number of theoretical issues, in particular we clarify the difference between the physics that keeps the distribution of fluctuations nearly Gaussian, and the physics that keeps the calculation under control.

description: We consider a 3-dimensional quantum antiferromagnet which can be driven through a quantum critical point (QCP) by varying a tuning parameter g. Starting from the magnetically ordered phase, the N{é}el temperature will decrease to zero as the QCP is approached. From a generic quantum field theory, together with numerical results from a specific microscopic Heisenberg spin model, we demonstrate the existence of universal behaviour near the QCP. We compare our results with available data for TlCuCl_3
