description: This thesis examines Material Body 01 + Pulse, a live performance merging dance and technology through the lenses of queer phenomenology, cyborg embodiment, tensegrity, and quantum entanglement. By destabilizing and reimagining conventional notions of boundaries, materials, machines, symbols, and ecological systems the choreography invites audiences to engage with diverse embodiments and perceptions. The integration of elements that blur boundaries between human and machine foreground the cyborg as a site of transformation and active engagement in systemic surroundings. The choreographic manipulation of tension embodies the dynamic equilibrium of tensegrity, generating interconnectedness. Through analysis of the choreographic process, this thesis highlights how Material Body 01 + Pulse intersects contemporary dance with emergent technologies and theoretical frameworks, offering new perspectives on embodiment, identity, and spatiality in the digital era.

description: Amidst a barrage of visual stimuli, spatial attention is a cognitive process that enables the selective focus and efficient processing of behaviourally relevant stimuli. Brain areas are intricately connected together in networks, to orchestrate such processes. Within a given area, neurons are organised into layers, receiving various connections from other brain areas and shaping information flow within a network. My work reveals how spatial attention differentially influences activity in these layers, within the posterior parietal cortex - a pivotal region in the visual attentional network. These insights lay the foundation for untangling how connections between brain areas support cognition.

description: In an era marked by the rapid disappearance of languages, UNESCO warns that nearly half of the world's linguistic heritage might soon become dormant. Despite its current health, Telugu has seen a decline in usage, reduced focus in India's educational systems, and overshadowing by dominant global languages. This thesis explores Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) to counter this trend, focusing on its application in native language learning for children, key carriers of their ancestral tongues. Through scoping reviews and participatory design sessions with young Telugu-speaking learners and their guardians, the study investigates GenAI's role in enhancing language learning tailored to individual and cultural contexts. It highlights storytelling as a potent mechanism for language acquisition, facilitated by GenAI's ability to personalize learning experiences and bridge generational gaps. The research also addresses ethical considerations vital for designing GenAI tools, promoting inclusivity, bias mitigation, and cultural integrity protection. It showcases a future where technology helps prevent linguistic dormancy and empowers children to celebrate human language and cultural diversity.
Locomotion on Granular Media: Reduced-Order Models

description: Deciphering and predicting the dynamics of locomotion over compliant terrain is garnering increasing interest because of its relevance to search and rescue missions, planetary explorations, as well as robot navigation on diverse surfaces. In the realm of assistive devices for individuals with limited ankle mobility, it is valuable for an assistive device to be of use in both indoor and outdoor environments. In this thesis research, the Dynamic Data-Driven Application Systems framework is employed and this framework is used to determine lower extremity trajectories for supporting the operation of a robotic device on uneven terrains. With this framework, data obtained from simulations is combined along with noisy sensor measurements to predict the contact forces of a leg interacting with granular media. For the simulation of the dynamical responses of legged locomotion on granular media, two models are used. They are, namely, a reduced-order model based on the Resistive Forces Theory (RFT) and a high-fidelity model based on the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. The results obtained with the two models are compared for various leg morphologies to assess how well these models can be used to capture complex contact interactions between a robot appendage and granular media. After data collection from simulations, the efficiency of the proposed data-driven framework is illustrated and discussed by examining test cases that involve the gait responses of robotic appendages interacting with granular material. Preliminary experiments of foot interactions with granular media have also been conducted and this data has also been considered in the DDDAS framework. The present work can serve as a basis for further developing the utility of the DDDAS framework for robot device operations, with a particular emphasis on assistive robots. The utility of data generated from off-line simulations and real-time data generated from sensors on these assistive robots can help the robots adapt better to different terrains.

description: Adult dragonflies and damselflies are efficient aerial predators that provide ecosystem service as consumers of pest arthropods. However, their role as predators of agricultural pests in agroecosystems has been understudied. The prey of odonates has been historically difficult to quantify but new molecular methods can make diet analysis easier. I conducted visual encounter surveys across four farms in 2020 and 2021. I found odonates were present on all farms surveyed but there were significant differences in abundance and richness. Fecal pellets were collected from 94 odonates in 2021 for prey DNA analysis using next generation sequencing. Nine odonate samples produced exceptional libraries, resulting in a large quantity of identifiable prey sequences. This preliminary study can help future researchers develop best practices for maintaining healthy farm water bodies and optimizing fecal DNA analysis methodology to better understand odonates’ potential for agricultural pest suppression.

The PIERS (Pre-eclampsia Integrated Estimate of RiSk) model : development of a valid outcome prediction model for pre-eclampsia.
Creators: name: Menzies, Jennifer Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Objective: This research responded to the need to define evidence-based criteria of maternal risk by developing a model - the Pre-eclampsia Integrated Estimate of RiSk (or PIERS) model – that predicts a combined adverse maternal outcome (mortality and/or significant morbidities) within 48 hour of, and up to seven days after, admission with pre-eclampsia (study eligibility). Methods: Prospective data for this project came from the PIERS study database (1259 women, seven international tertiary centers, 4 year period). Part 1. Using PIERS data and retrospective data from BC Women’s Hospital, the impact of standardized assessment and surveillance (standing orders) on the incidence of adverse maternal outcomes was assessed. Part 2. Criteria of ‘severe’ disease were assessed against their ability to identify maternal risk. Part 3. For PIERS model development and initial validation, independent predictor variables were selected through univariable logistic regression and tests of correlation and co-linearity. The fitted models were derived using multivariate logistic regression, predictive performance evaluated using area under the receiver-operator curve [AUC], and initial validation by cross-validation. Results: Part 1. Introducing standing orders reduced the incidence of adverse maternal outcomes (5.1% to 0.7%; OR 0.14 [0.04, 0.49]). Part 2. Most Canadian and American severity criteria did not predict adverse outcomes. Part 3. Two PIERS outcome prediction models were developed and initially validated. The fullPIERS model (AUC 0.906 [0.851, 0.961]), for use in well-resourced settings, comprises six independent clinical and laboratory variables. The miniPIERS model (AUC 0.817 [0.738, 0.896]), for use in minimally-resourced settings, comprises three independent clinical variables. Both models (fitted and cross-validated) maintain AUC>0.7 up to seven days after eligibility. Conclusion: Standardized assessment and surveillance of women with pre-eclampsia reduces maternal risks. Published criteria of ‘severe’ disease do not denote increased maternal risk. The two pre-eclampsia-specific outcome prediction models, fullPIERS and miniPIERS, identify maternal risk up to 7 days before complications arise.

Are secondary wood products environmentally friendly? a study of public perceptions
Creators: name: Eberle, Rowan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The forest and wood products industry in Canada plays a significant role in the Canadian economy. As the market for secondary wood products has increased around the world, it has been noted that British Columbia is falling behind other regions in taking advantage of this growth. Meanwhile, the environment has become a significant topic, both globally and in British Columbia. This research merges these two areas of concern, exploring survey participants’ views on environmental sustainability and environmental friendliness, and examining what effect these views have on their purchasing decisions. The survey examines participants’ knowledge of environmental issues and general purchasing habits, and then focuses on knowledge, perceptions, and purchasing habits in connection to secondary wood products. Analyses of the survey results follow a literature review. Preliminary recommendations are provided to the secondary wood products industry on how to maximize the marketing strength of environmental attributes. Despite reporting high levels of concern and a strong belief that humanity is facing an environmental crisis, participants showed a surprisingly low commitment to purchasing environmentally friendly products, and were more likely to prioritize other purchasing values, such as price and quality. While participants assessed their knowledge of British Columbia’s forest practices and related industries as relatively low and did not consider the practices of industry to be very environmentally conscious, they also generally do not avoid purchasing secondary wood products due to environmental concerns.

description: Approximate nearest neighbor search (ANNS) on high-dimensional vectors is a fundamental primitive used widely for search over neural embeddings of unstructured data. Prior work on ANNS has produced indices which provide fast and accurate search on datasets up to billions of points, but are not well suited to queries restricted to some subset of the original dataset. Filtered ANNS is a formulation of the problem which adds metadata to points in the dataset which can be used to filter points at query time. This setting requires indexing a dataset in a metadata-aware way to support filtered queries. Filtered ANNS is important for applications such as product and image search, and necessary to give recently popular `vector databases' functionality similar to more traditional tabular databases. This work concerns two versions of the filtered ANNS problem. The most popular formulation in prior work associates points with boolean metadata in the form of labels and filters queries using a boolean predicate on these labels. In this setting, we present a novel index with state-of-the-art performance for queries with filters requiring either one label or both of a pair of labels which won a large benchmarking competition's track focused on the problem. We also introduce a novel formulation of filtered ANNS called `window filtered' ANNS, in which points are associated with a continuous metadata value (in practical use, this corresponds to a timestamp, measure of popularity, etc.), and queries are filtered to a range of metadata values. In addition to describing the problem, we present a practical and theoretically motivated index which handily outperforms baselines.

description: Historically contaminated rivers persist as hazards to ecosystem and human health despite remediation attempts, impacting the species found in these ecosystems. These rivers contain complex mixtures of legacy contaminants, including dioxins, polychlorinated biphenyls, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, many of which are classified as endocrine disrupting compounds. Due to this level of contamination, few fish species are pervasive in these systems, an exception being the mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus), known for its acquired tolerance of contaminated environmental conditions. While female and offspring reproductive success have been well-documented in the literature, few studies have investigated the use of sperm quality as a tool for assessing reproductive harm from contaminant exposure. Therefore, this study aims to demonstrate the usefulness of sperm quality characterization through the use of three assays: computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA), a bioluminescent adenosine triphosphate (ATP) assay, and a modified Comet assay. This novel method was developed through field-collection of F. heteroclitus in three historically-contaminated tidal rivers in the United States: the Passaic River, NJ, the Christina River, DE, and the Anacostia River, MD. The results of this study not only present a novel method for investigating fish health in contaminated aquatic environments, but also a comparison of differential outcomes that can occur in rivers with varied contaminants and histories of pollution.

description: Abstract

Background: Based on previous research, partially pregelatinized cassava starch produces brittle tablets with a friability value of >1%. Partial pregelatinization and co-processing are the methods used to improve these physical properties. In this research, HPMC K-100 was used in the cassava starch co-processing to provide mechanical strength to the tablets. Objective: Co-processed excipient production of partially pregelatinized cassava starch and HPMC K-100 was aimed to improve the mechanical properties of tablets. Method: Four formulas were made, including F1 (only partially pregelatinized cassava starch) and F2, F3, and F4, resulting from co-processing with HPMC K-100 with concentrations of 2%, 3%, and 4%. Pregelatinized cassava starch was suspended in water at a temperature of 55oC, heated and stirred for 70 minutes, mixed with HPMC K-100 solution, and dried in an oven. F1 as a comparison (T1) and the best formula (T2) were then molded into tablets with losartan potassium as the model active substance. Result: F4 is the best formula with a flow rate of 16.08 g/second, angle of repose of 26.91o, % compressibility of 13.33%, and tensile strength of 1.0063 mPa at a pressure of 50 kg/cm2. Tablet evaluation shows that T1 does not meet the hardness test requirements, and broken tablets are also found in the friability test, while T2 meets the requirements with a hardness value of 4.53 kg/cm2 and an F value of <1%. Conclusion: Co-processed excipients of partially pregelatinized cassava starch and HPMC K-100 with a concentration of 4% can increase tablet hardness and reduce tablet friability.

description: If we want to avoid plastics becoming a victim of its own success - continuing to cause high and increasing environmental and climate pressures - there is a clear need for further changes towards circularity and sustainability in the way we produce, use and manage it. This relates both to the extraction, production, use and end-of-life treatment.

The heterogeneity of plastics, its use and corresponding pressures require a diversified approach to move towards circularity and sustainability, combining an application specific focus and a systemic view on the way forward. The diversity of polymers, its applications, and geographical contexts makes it challenging to provide all-inclusive solutions.

Using the pathways ‘smarter use’, ‘increased circularity’ and ‘renewable materials’ previously analysed and explained in an earlier EEA report (EEA, 2020b) as a starting point, main trends and challenges per pathway are analysed in this report, using existing good practice examples across Europe already addressing these issues and challenges - good practice examples which could be further implemented and upscaled.
MESOSCALE EDDIES INFLUENCE ZOOPLANKTON DISTRIBUTION AND GRAZING IN THE GULF OF MEXICO

description: Carbon biomass and net primary productivity, for two size classes of phytoplankton in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM), are calculated from ocean color remote sensing data. Combining these estimates with mechanistic ecosystem model equations allows for analysis of how changes in phytoplankton biomass and community structure propagate through the food web to zooplankton. Biomass and grazing rates are calculated for three size classes of zooplankton (small, large, and predatory) by solving equations from the NEMURO model describing the growth of small and large phytoplankton and zooplankton using the remote sensing net primary productivity, biomass, temperature, and mixed layer depth. The ecosystem model and approach are validated for the GoM and used to assess error propagation. An eddy detection algorithm, tuned for the GoM, is used to calculate the phytoplankton and zooplankton biomass within eddy centers, around eddy edges, and in the immediate surroundings of the eddy to determine the impact of cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies and submesoscale edge effects on patterns of trophic transfer variability. Cyclonic eddy centers increase biomass and anticyclonic eddy centers decrease biomass in the oligotrophic GoM. Eddy edges contribute to variability in biomass but to a lesser extent than eddy centers. Zooplankton grazing varies in a similar pattern as biomass, and in this oligotrophic region, most grazing is on the largest size class of prey available. Nutrient injection stimulated by eddy dynamics more strongly projects onto biomass in zooplankton trophic levels and their associated grazing which suggests many eddies in the oligotrophic GoM experience top-down control. An understanding of mesoscale eddy impacts on zooplankton dynamics may explain variations in larval fish growth. Advances in remote sensing that allow the discrimination of phytoplankton functional types, such as the new PACE satellite, will be useful for providing a more complete base of the food web and thus enhance estimation of zooplankton biomass.

description: The report analyses eight categories of products which are considered challenging to manage and currently often end up in residual municipal waste. These products are disposable diapers, beverage cups, e-textiles, products made of or containing EPS and PFAS, furniture, mattresses, and multi-material children’s gadgets and toys. The key factors hindering reuse or recycling of these products were found to include consumer attitudes; complex structures and materials; and the presence of substances harmful to health or the environment. Many of the issues with these products would be resolved through consideration of end-of-life issues at the design stage by reducing the complexity of products and favouring non-toxic materials. Extended producer responsibility schemes have been shown to be effective in dealing with problem wastes and their increased use would promote more circularity, including greater durability and repair.

description: The report investigates the dynamics of plastic waste trade within the EU and exports from the EU. It demonstrates that EU plastic waste exports continue to decline and are concentrated in few receiving countries. Raising environmental concerns, case study results also indicate that plastic waste leaving the EU is of much lower quality than that traded within the EU (albeit there is a slight improvement in recent years), and that receiving countries often lack proper waste management infrastructure.

description: Apples are among the most valuable fruits globally, with 'Honeycrisp' ranking as the top sales-producing cultivar in the US. However, challenges such as insufficient red skin coloration and increased preharvest fruit drop significantly diminish their market value. Reflective groundcovers have been reported to enhance apple skin coloration, while the application of the plant growth regulator AVG reduces fruit drop but may negatively impact skin coloration. Research on the impacts of these practices in mid-Atlantic US-grown apples remains limited. In this two years study, our aims were 1) to evaluate the effect of reflective groundcovers on solar radiation (PPFD, UV) distribution; 2) to assess the combined effect of reflective groundcovers and ethylene inhibitor (AVG) on preharvest fruit drop, ethylene production, red blush percentage, and overall fruit quality; 3) to investigate the combined effect of reflective groundcovers and ethylene inhibitor (AVG) on expression level of key anthocyanin and ethylene biosynthesis related genes; 4) to determine the combined effect of reflective groundcovers and ethylene inhibitors (AVG) in the accumulation of total anthocyanin. Apples underwent four treatment combinations of reflective groundcover (Extenday) and AVG (130 mg L−1). Our findings revealed that Extenday significantly enhanced skin coloration (>75% blush) through increased reflectance of PPFD and UV radiation, along with increased IEC, while also accelerating fruit maturity, i.e., overripening. In fact, Extenday-only treated fruit exhibited the highest upregulation of ethylene and anthocyanin biosynthetic-related genes, as well as total anthocyanins. Conversely, AVG notably reduced fruit drop and decreased IEC, delaying fruit maturity while significantly diminishing red coloration (30–48% blush). AVG treated fruit significantly suppressed the expression of key ethylene and anthocyanin biosynthetic structural and regulatory genes, as well as total anthocyanins. The combined application of Extenday and AVG synergistically decreased fruit drop while enhancing skin coloration (>50% blush), but without inducing overripening. This combination fine-tuned the transcript accumulation of ethylene and anthocyanin biosynthetic-related genes, as well as total anthocyanins, enabling 'Honeycrisp' fruit to exceed 50% blush, while moderately increasing IEC (compared to Extenday-only and control fruit), thus enhancing fruit economic value. Therefore, combining Extenday and AVG can boost the market value for 'Honeycrisp' apples in the mid-Atlantic US.
