Assessing the potential impacts of forest management practices on wildlife habitat, carbon sequestration, and timber harvesting in coastal British Columbia
Creators: name: McLaughlin, Garrett
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The forests of coastal British Columbia are some of the most productive in the world, providing a wide range of values including timber production, carbon sequestration, and wildlife habitat. Forest management often requires weighing competing values and implementing decisions to promote them, while avoiding negative impacts to other values. Forest ecosystems models such as FORECAST and Habitat Suitability Indices provide a means of analyzing alternative management strategies for their impacts on multiple values, and serve as a tool for informing adaptive management decisions. The objectives of this thesis were to model and assess the impacts of different forest management practices on wildlife habitat, carbon storage, and timber harvesting in coastal British Columbia. This analysis consisted of a number of alternative harvesting prescriptions, including clearcut harvesting and low intensity thinning treatments. Each treatment was quantified on its ability to simultaneously generate timber, carbon and habitat value. Results of the study suggest that extension of rotation periods between harvest treatments can provide gains in all three values over shorter rotations. Low intensity thinning treatments can also be applied to further promote habitat value with only minor reductions in carbons stocks. In addition, thinning treatments can decrease the time required to develop high quality habitat over that of either unmanaged or clearcut management. If selectively applied over a landscape scale, these management prescriptions could be used to provide a range of forest values and address a variety of resource demands.

description: Si-MMIC's become the key components to realize low cost single chip RF sections for mobile communication terminals. To realize on-chip matching Si-MMIC's, there is a problem of high-loss on-chip passive components due to the dielectric loss of Si substrates. In the conventional Si-IC process used for analog/digital IC production, low resisivity Si substrates have been used, and it is difficult to change to high resistivity Si substrates. Based on electro-magnetic simulation, the loss reduction effect by using coplanar waveguide (CPW) structure is analyzed for low resistivity Si substrates. The measured results of transmission lines and on-chip spiral inductors show the superiority of CPW over microstrip line (MS).
Measurement of jet fragmentation into charged particles in pp and PbPb collisions at sqrt(s[NN]) = 2.76 TeV

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Jet fragmentation in pp and PbPb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV per nucleon pair was studied using data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. Fragmentation functions are constructed using charged-particle tracks with transverse momenta pt > 4 GeV for dijet events with a leading jet of pt > 100 GeV. The fragmentation functions in PbPb events are compared to those in pp data as a function of collision centrality, as well as dijet-pt imbalance. Special emphasis is placed on the most central PbPb events including dijets with unbalanced momentum, indicative of energy loss of the hard scattered parent partons. The fragmentation patterns for both the leading and subleading jets in PbPb collisions agree with those seen in pp data at 2.76 TeV. The results provide evidence that, despite the large parton energy loss observed in PbPb collisions, the partition of the remaining momentum within the jet cone into high-pt particles is not strongly modified in comparison to that observed for jets in vacuum.

description: The design and measurement of a C-band HBT high-power amplifier (HPA) is discussed. The amplifier is realised in the HB20P power HBT process of UMS. The HPA combines a high average output power of 9 Watt with both a high gain of 21.6 dB and a high power added efficiency (PAE) of 50% over about 20% bandwidth at the nominal 8 V collector voltage. At a collector voltage of 10 V an average output power of 10.3 Watt has been measured. The high PAE is realised with the help of an inverse class F harmonic termination scheme. A good agreement between measurement and simulation results is demonstrated.

description: We develop a new numerical algorithm to model collisional cascades in debris disks. Because of the large dynamical range in particle masses, we solve the integro-differential equations describing erosive and catastrophic collisions in a particle-in-a-box approach, while treating the orbital dynamics of the particles in an approximate fashion. We employ a new scheme for describing erosive (cratering) collisions that yields a continuous set of outcomes as a function of colliding masses. We demonstrate the stability and convergence characteristics of our algorithm and compare it with other treatments. We show that incorporating the effects of erosive collisions results in a decay of the particle distribution that is significantly faster than with purely catastrophic collisions.

description: We report polarization of a dense nuclear-spin ensemble in diamond and its dependence on magnetic field and temperature. The polarization method is based on the transfer of electron spin polarization of negatively charged nitrogen vacancy color centers to the nuclear spins via the excited-state level anti-crossing of the center. We polarize 90% of the 14N nuclear spins within the NV centers, and 70% of the proximal 13C nuclear spins with hyperfine interaction strength of 13-14 MHz. Magnetic-field dependence of the polarization reveals sharp decrease in polarization at specific field values corresponding to cross-relaxation with substitutional nitrogen centers, while temperature dependence of the polarization reveals that high polarization persists down to 50 K. This work enables polarization of the 13C in bulk diamond, which is of interest in applications of nuclear magnetic resonance, in quantum memories of hybrid quantum devices, and in sensing.

description: A compact and robust InGaP-GaAs HBT model has been developed for accurate large-signal and linearity simulations. In addition to self-heating, the model takes into account the non-quasi-static charge effects, which include collector mobile charge effects, collector transit time effects, and other dynamic charge effects. The new model, in contrast to conventional HBT models, predicts very well the large gain expansion at class AB operation and also the distortion, such as IP3, at various harmonic load conditions. The model is semi-physically based and, therefore, can be used to assess the effects of physical parameters on linearity, such as collector doping.

These conditions can be used in future development of new types of polyharmonic amplifiers with similar efficiency and output power capability as those of Class F amplifies. However, a quite difficult tuning of an output network as in class-F amplifiers is not required.

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden Methoden der Ultraschallsignalanalyse auf ihre Möglichkeit untersucht, Aufschlüsse über Größenveränderungen im feinstrukturellen Aufbau von Organgeweben zu geben, welche unterhalb des Auflösungsvermögens herkömmlicher Ultraschallsysteme liegen. Dazu wurden mit Hilfe eines Ultraschall-A-Bildgerätes Signalsequenzen von 37 Sektionspräparaten menschlicher Lebern aufgenommen, welche zum Teil in unterschiedlichem Ausmaß verfettet waren. Alle Präparate wurden ebenfalls einer histologischen Beurteilung unterzogen. Die hochfrequenten Ultraschall-Echosignale wurden auf Veränderungen in der Signalstruktur untersucht, welche durch Überlagerungserscheinungen an kleinen, rückstreuenden Strukturen innerhalb des Lebergewebes entstehen. Im Vergleich mit den histologischen Befunden weisen die Ergebnisse der Analysen darauf hin, daß Strukturveränderungen im Größenbereich der Leberläppchen entsprechende charakteristische Signalveränderungen zur Folge haben. Die statistische Wertigkeit der Ergebnisse und die Möglichkeit einer quantitativen Beurteilbarkeit von Gewebsveränderungen mittels der angewandten Methode werden diskutiert.
description: To evaluate microstructural changes in human tissues techniques of ultrasonic signal analysis were applied to high-frequency backscattered signals. 37 specimen of human liver tissue were examined post mortem. The specimen showed fatty degeneration of different extent, a part of them had normal structure. Signal data were obtained with an ultrasonic a-mode-system and analyzed by ultrasound spectroscopy to discover signal characteristics caused by interference phenomena at smallest structures in liver tissue. All specimen underwent a histological examination and classification. The results allow the conclusion, that structural changes cause a characteristic signal structure. Statistical value of the results and the possibility of quantitative evaluation of microstructural changes in human tissues are discussed.

description: A novel predistortion approach well suited for MMIC design is discussed. The theoretical analysis shows third-order intermodulation product (IMP3) cancellation independent of the specific technology exploited for implementation and of the detailed behaviour of the power stage nonlinearity; further improvements can be obtained through optimization. The active stages of the predistorter are modeled through a nonlinear describing function, which can be experimentally characterized through standard LS S-parameters measurements. The predistortion scheme has been implemented within the Agilent ADS environment and applied to the linearity optimization of a power amplifier stage. In accordance with theoretical results, significant improvement in the linearity of the Pin-Pout is demonstrated together with IMP3 reduction. A sensitivity analysis on the optimization parameters is also presented, showing that this approach is robust and well suited for circuit design.

We perform a comprehensive study of its phenomenology at the LHC energies, complete with the electroweak precision constraints. We pay special attention to the doubly-charged component, object of collider searches for a long time, and show how the experimental bound on its mass depends crucially on the particle spectrum of the theory. Our study can be used as a roadmap for future complete LHC studies.

description: In this paper a two-class classification problem is faced. One class is constituted
by tumoral masses, breast tumors with size ranging from 3 mm to 30 mm. The
other class is constituted by non-masses. A Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used
as a classifier. Both, masses and non-masses, are extracted from the University
of South Florida (USF) mammographic image database and are presented to the
classifier as crops with pixel size 64 x 64. In order to find the optimal solution to
this problem, different featureless crops representations are evaluated. In particular,
a pixel-based representation, a Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) representation
and an Overcomplete Wavelet Transform (OWT) representation are tested.
Nurses' use of iPads for clinical documentation : a usability study
Creators: name: Ho, Wai Yu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Background/Purpose: Handheld devices are becoming increasingly prevalent in healthcare settings; however, few studies have examined the use of handheld devices for clinical documentation in the acute care setting. The purpose of this study was to investigate how nurses use the iPad for clinical documentation in the acute care setting. Methods: End user usability testing with think-aloud protocol was performed in a laboratory environment. Nurses who worked on an orthopedic surgery unit that use electronic clinical documentation were given a fictitious patient scenario with seven clinical documentation tasks that maximized the use of different functions of the iPad interface. A coding scheme was developed based on user and system behaviours defined by Dawson and Kushniruk. Results: Nine nurses participated in the usability testing. Nurses were in the nursing profession for an average of 13.2 years and in the study setting for an average of 11.5 years. All nurses reported that they had a desktop computer for personal use, and some nurses also owned an iPad (50%) and Smartphone (62.5%). Coded events were categorized into problems related to navigation, screen size, data entry, and login/logout. Navigational problems were mainly characterized by extra taps, mistaps, and the switch between tapping with finger and stylus. Nurses also had problems with the screen size when reading the font and icons, and selecting objects. Data entry problems were related to using a small external keyboard, and the mismatch with how data is saved between the iPad and the desktop computer terminals. Login/logout problems were significant barriers to clinical documentation as the process for both were time-consuming and required multiple steps. Conclusion: Improvements in clinical practice and the organization are warranted to enhance the use of iPads in the acute care setting, including education on the unit, and structural and technical supports from the organization. Organization supports include improving organizational infrastructure, incorporating stakeholder engagement and testing into the planning and implementation processes, and evaluating the compatibility of the operating systems employed by the handheld device and the organization. Further research in this area is warranted to better inform practice and future decision-making.

description: Ranklets are non–parametric, multi–resolution and orientation selective features
modelled on Haar wavelets. A ranklet–based image representation is proposed in
this paper in order to solve a two–class classification problem. The first class is
constituted by masses, breast tumors with size ranging from 3 mm to 30 mm,
whereas the second class is constituted by non–masses. Masses and non–masses are
both extracted from the University of South Florida (USF) mammographic image
database, submitted to the ranklet transform and finally classified by means of a
Support Vector Machine (SVM). Experiments demonstrate that the proposed image
representation solves succesfully the two–class classification problem. Furthermore,
it achieves an improvement over the pixel–based and wavelet–based representations
tested on the same dataset by one of our previous works.
Holography, Unfolding and Higher-Spin Theory

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: Holographic duality is argued to relate classes of models that have equivalent unfolded formulation, hence exhibiting different space-time visualizations for the same theory. This general phenomenon is illustrated by the $AdS_4$ higher-spin gauge theory shown to be dual to the theory of 3d conformal currents of all spins interacting with 3d conformal higher-spin fields of Chern-Simons type. Generally, the resulting 3d boundary conformal theory is nonlinear, providing an interacting version of the 3d boundary sigma model conjectured by Klebanov and Polyakov to be dual to the $AdS_4$ HS theory in the large $N$ limit. Being a gauge theory it escapes the conditions of the theorem of Maldacena and Zhiboedov, which force a 3d boundary conformal theory to be free. Two reductions of particular higher-spin gauge theories where boundary higher-spin gauge fields decouple from the currents and which have free boundary duals are identified. Higher-spin holographic duality is also discussed for the cases of $AdS_3/CFT_2$ and duality between higher-spin theories and nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. In the latter case it is shown in particular that ($dS$) $AdS$ geometry in the higher-spin setup is dual to the (inverted) harmonic potential in the quantum-mechanical setup.

Mit Hilfe eines neuen Modells ist es möglich, die Vibrationen und die Luftschallspektren zu berechnen und die von den Tieren erzeugten Schallintensitäten abzuschätzen. In den Sekreten der Mandibeldrüsen wurden verschiedene Ketone, Alkohole und Acetophenon gefunden. 4-Methyl-3-heptanon kommt bei allen untersuchten Arten vor. Substanzen, die bei einigen Arten möglicherweise eine aposematische Funktion haben, sind Alkylpyrazine und ein Monoterpenoid. Darüber hinaus enthält die Arbeit einen Überblick über alle Aspekte der Biologie der Familie Mutillidae, vervollständigt durch ein Literaturverzeichnis mit mehr als 500 Zitaten.
description: The paper deals with acoustical and chemical aposematic (warning) signals in insects. For this purpose, several species of velvet ants (Hymenoptera: Mutillidae) from South Africa, Europe, and Brazil were investigated by laser vibrometry, sound analysis (e.g. sonagram, cepstrum analysis, and Baraniuk Jones adapted optimal kernel time frequency transformation), and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. With the help of a new model it is possible to compute the vibration and air borne sound spectra, and to estimate the sound intensities produced by the animals. In the secretions of the mandibular glands several ketones, alcohols, and acetophenone were found. 4-Methyl-3-heptanone occurs in all investigated species. Substances found to have possibly aposematic function in some species are alkylpyrazines and a monoterpenoid. Furthermore, the paper contains a review over all aspects of biology of the family Mutillidae completed by a literature chapter with more than 500 citations.
Search for new physics with same-sign isolated dilepton events with jets and missing transverse energy
Creators: name: CMS Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A search for new physics is performed in events with two same-sign isolated leptons, hadronic jets, and missing transverse energy in the final state. The analysis is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.98 inverse femtobarns produced in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. This constitutes a factor of 140 increase in integrated luminosity over previously published results. The observed yields agree with the standard model predictions and thus no evidence for new physics is found. The observations are used to set upper limits on possible new physics contributions and to constrain supersymmetric models. To facilitate the interpretation of the data in a broader range of new physics scenarios, information on the event selection, detector response, and efficiencies is provided.

description: This volume, "Language as Purposeful: Functional Varieties of Texts", is the third of the first three e-books of a new series entitled, "Functional Grammar Studies for Non-Native Speakers of English", which is contained within the superordinate: "Quaderni del Centro di Studi Linguistico-Culturali (CeSLiC)", a research center in the Department of Modern Foreign Languages of the University of Bologna. The series proposes a metalinguistic description of English grammar in a functional, socio-semiotic perspective and is proving to be an effective teaching/learning resource for improving English literacy in the L2 pedagogic setting. The principal ‘consumers’ of the series are the students of the English Language Studies Program (ELSP) in Bologna’s Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literature, for whom it provides the basic course-book in each of their three years of the first-level degree course. This third volume applies the descriptive model taught in the first two years to the analysis of diverse text-types, and thus at the same time seeks to empower students through an increasing awareness of the typical functions of the English language in a variety of concrete situational and cultural contexts.
Energy absorption by "sparse" systems: beyond linear response theory

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: The analysis of the response to driving in the case of weakly chaotic or weakly interacting systems should go beyond linear response theory. Due to the "sparsity" of the perturbation matrix, a resistor network picture of transitions between energy levels is essential. The Kubo formula is modified, replacing the "algebraic" average over the squared matrix elements by a "resistor network" average. Consequently the response becomes semi-linear rather than linear. Some novel results have been obtained in the context of two prototype problems: the heating rate of particles in Billiards with vibrating walls; and the Ohmic Joule conductance of mesoscopic rings driven by electromotive force. Respectively, the obtained results are contrasted with the "Wall formula" and the "Drude formula".

description: This report is the fourth annual update into suicides among permanent, reserve and ex-serving Australian Defence Force (ADF) members and the first to include the population of ADF members who served in the ADF between 1985 and 2019 by using data from historical ADF personnel systems. Permanent and reserve male ADF members die by suicide at about half the rate of Australians of similar age and gender. Overall ex-serving male members are around 24% more likely to die by suicide than Australian males, although those who voluntarily separate from the ADF die by suicide at a similar rate.

Cutoffs, Stretched Horizons and Black Hole Radiators

description: We argue that if the UV cutoff of an effective field theory with many low energy degrees if freedom is of the order, or below, the scale of the stretched horizon in a black hole background, which in turn is significantly lower than the Planck scale, the black hole radiance rate may not be enhanced by the emission of all the light IR modes. Instead, there may be additional suppressions hidden in the UV completion of the field theory, which really control which light modes can be emitted by the black hole. It could turn out that many degrees of freedom cannot be efficiently emitted by the black hole, and so the radiance rate may be much smaller than its estimate based on the counting of the light IR degrees of freedom. If we apply this argument to the RS2 brane world, it implies that the emission rates of the low energy CFT modes will be dramatically suppressed: its UV completion is given by the bulk gravity on $AdS_5 \times S^5$, and the only bulk modes that could be emitted by a black hole are the 4D s-waves of bulk modes with small 5D momentum, or equivalently, small 4D masses. Further, their emission is suppressed by bulk warping, which lowers the radiation rate much below the IR estimate, yielding a radiation flux $\sim (T_{BH} L)^2 {\cal L}_{hawking} \sim (T_{BH}/M_{Pl})^2 N {\cal L}_{hawking}$, where ${\cal L}_{hawking}$ is the Hawking radiation rate of a single light species. This follows directly from low CFT cutoff $μ\sim L^{-1} \ll M_{Pl}$, a large number of modes $N \gg 1$ and the fact that 4D gravity in RS2 is induced, $M_{Pl}^2 \simeq N μ^2$.

description: Im ersten Teil der Arbeit wurden isomere Verbindungen, die sich nur in der Richtung der Dipolmomente der COO-Verknüpfungsgruppen unterscheiden, mit der dielektrischen Methode untersucht. Interessante Effekte, wie die tieffrequente kollektive Dynamik und die Beeinflussung der Reorientierung um die Längsachse durch die Packung der Moleküle, konnten so systematisch erfaßt und erklärt werden. Dielektrische Messungen in einem erweiterten Frequenzbereich bis 1GHz ergaben die Dynamik von polaren Endgruppen. Neu synthetisierte unsymmetrische bent-core Moleküle wurden hergestellt und die Phasen mittels röntgenographischer, elektrooptische und dielektrischer Methoden charakterisiert. Bei den Verbindungen mit verschiedenen Substituenten im zentralen Teil wurde eine mit zwei SmCPA Phase gefunden. Die Hochtemperaturphase zeigt eine Dielektrizitätskonstanten um 10bent-core Moleküle ergab eine reiche Polymorphie mit der nematischen Phase als Hochtemperaturphase. Letztere zeigt wegen der smektischen Cluster in elektrischen Feldern eine smektisch-artige Textur. Eine erhöhte Flexibilität und laterale Substitutionen führen zu interessanten neuen Verbindungen im Grenzgebiet Bananenphasen/kalamitische Flüssigkristalle.
description: In the first part isomeric compounds were investigated by the dielectric method. The difference between the isomers is only the direction of the dipole moment of the ester linking groups. Interesting effects such as low frequency collective dynamics and the influence of the molecules packing on the reorientations around the long axis were systematically investigated. Dielectric measurements till 1 GHz show the dynamics of polar terminal groups. New asymmetric bent-core molecules were synthesized and the phases were characterized by X-ray, electrooptic and dielectric methods. One compound with two SmCPA phase was found among the substances with different substitutes in the central phenyl ring. The high temperature phase shows a dielectric permittivity around 10
