Collaborative planning and tourism: a case study of the Robson Valley land & resource management planning process
Creators: name: Watchorn, Elizabeth Mary
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: At a general level, the intent of this thesis is to make a contribution to the increasing body of research on tourism planning as well as collaboration in natural resource management. At a more specific level this thesis looks at the level of tourism collaboration occurring within British Columbia's Land and Resource Management Planning Processes. Because of its great beauty and natural diversity, tourism and outdoor recreation have emerged as two of BC's fastest growing industries (Tourism BC 1996). However, tourism is only one of many competing forms of large scale development that are placing ever-increasing pressure on BC's lands and resources. In response to this pressure and resultant conflicts, the BC government has developed a strategy for shared decision making processes (SDM). A key element of the strategy is to encourage and support public participation in land use planning processes. This is to occur through collaboration and shared decision-making processes that bring together government and stakeholders to negotiate consensus agreements on land and resource management issues. Adherence to the SDM processes should therefore lead to more meaningful and effective participation by tourism (Williams et. al. 1998). This thesis analyzes the degree of collaboration within one of these SDM processes, specifically the Robson Valley Land and Resource Management Planning Process, from a tourism perspective. Based on theory and practical examples of community tourism collaboration, a case study interview questionnaire was designed and administered to nine public and one government participant from the Robson Valley LRMP process. The study of the Robson Valley case highlights linkages between the practical realities of a public land use planning process that is explicitly based upon the concepts of collaboration and the theoretical elements of collaborative planning for tourism. The results of the research indicate that while there are many opportunities for collaboration in an LRMP, institutional and situational obstacles can hinder it. These obstacles, include; imbalances of power at the table, lack of resources and government support for participation, and lack of recognition by powerful and controlling sectors of their interdependencies with other land use interests. They can be significant enough for tourism to be dis-satisfied with the outcomes of the process and to lose trust with the government over its control of the process.

description: We observed the first known very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray emitting unidentified source, TeV J2032+4130, for 94 hours with the MAGIC telescope. The source was detected with a significance of 5.6 sigma. The flux, position, and angular extension are compatible with the previous ones measured by the HEGRA telescope system five years ago. The integral flux amounts to (4.5+-0.3stat+-0.35sys)x10^{-13} ph cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ above 1 TeV. The source energy spectrum, obtained with the lowest energy threshold to date, is compatible with a single power law with a hard photon index of Gamma=-2.0+-0.3stat+-0.2sys.

description: Reinforcement Learning (RL) is widely utilized in the field of robotics, and as such, it is gradually being implemented in the Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) supervisory control. Even though RL exhibits excellent performance in terms of fuel consumption minimization in simulation, the large learning iteration number needs a long learning time, making it hardly applicable in real-world vehicles. In addition, the fuel consumption of initial learning phases is much worse than baseline controls. This study aims to reduce the learning iterations of Q-learning in HEV application and improve fuel consumption in initial learning phases utilizing warm start methods. Different from previous studies, which initiated Q-learning with zero or random Q values, this study initiates the Q-learning with different supervisory controls (i.e., Equivalent Consumption Minimization Strategy control and heuristic control), and detailed analysis is given. The results show that the proposed warm start Q-learning requires 68.8% fewer iterations than cold start Q-learning. The trained Q-learning is validated in two different driving cycles, and the results show 10-16% MPG improvement when compared to Equivalent Consumption Minimization Strategy control. Furthermore, real-time feasibility is analyzed, and the guidance of vehicle implementation is provided. The results of this study can be used to facilitate the deployment of RL in vehicle supervisory control applications.
Marked signal improvement by stochastic resonance for aperiodic signals in the double-well system

description: On the basis of our mixed-signal simulations we report significant stochastic resonance induced input-output signal improvement in the double-well system for aperiodic input types. We used a pulse train with randomised pulse locations and a band-limited noise with low cut-off frequency as input signals, and applied a cross-spectral measure to quantify their noise content. We also supplemented our examinations with simulations in the Schmitt trigger to show that the signal improvement we obtained is not a result of a potential filtering effect due to the limited response time of the double-well dynamics.

description: When a surface acoustic wave propagates on the surface of a GaAs semiconductor, coupling between electrons in the two-dimensional electron gas beneath the interface and the elastic host crystal through piezoelectric interaction will attenuate the SAW. The coupling coefficient is calculated for the SAW propagating along an arbitrary direction. It is found that the coupling strength is largely dependent on the propagating direction. When the SAW propagates along the [011] direction, the coupling becomes quite weak.

description: It is well known that a set of non-defect matrices can be simultaneously diagonalized if and only if the matrices commute. In the case of non-commuting matrices, the best that can be achieved is simultaneous block diagonalization. Here we give an efficient algorithm to explicitly compute a transfer matrix which realizes the simultaneous block diagonalization of unitary matrices whose decomposition in irreducible blocks (common invariant subspaces) is known from elsewhere. Our main motivation lies in particle physics, where the resulting transfer matrix must be known explicitly in order to unequivocally determine the action of outer automorphisms such as parity, charge conjugation, or time reversal on the particle spectrum.

description: For a restricted class of potentials (harmonic+Gaussian potentials), we express the resolvent integral for the correlation functions of simple traces of powers of complex matrices of size $N$, in term of a determinant; this determinant is function of four kernels constructed from the orthogonal polynomials corresponding to the potential and from their Cauchy transform. The correlation functions are a sum of expressions attached to a set of fully packed oriented loops configurations; for rotational invariant systems, explicit expressions can be written for each configuration and more specifically for the Gaussian potential, we obtain the large $N$ expansion ('t Hooft expansion) and the so-called BMN limit.

description: We demonstrate nanohole formation in AlGaSb by Ga droplet etching within a temperature range from 270°C to 500°C, allowing a wide range of tunability of the nanohole density. By leveraging the low vapor pressure of Sb, we can obtain high degree of control over droplet formation and nanohole etching steps and reveal the physics of adatom diffusion in these processes. Furthermore, by combining the experimental results and a geometric diffusion-based model, we can determine the temperature and Sb-flux-dependencies of the critical monolayer coverage of Sb atoms required for driving the droplet etching process to completion. These findings provide new insight into the droplet formation and etching process present in the droplet-mediated synthesis of semiconductor nanostructures and represent a significant step towards development of telecom-emitting quantum dots in the GaSb system.

description: The goal of this paper is twofold. In the first part we discuss a general approach to determine Lyapunov exponents from ensemble- rather than time-averages. The approach passes through the identification of locally stable and unstable manifolds (the Lyapunov vectors), thereby revealing an analogy with generalized synchronization. The method is then applied to a periodically forced chaotic oscillator to show that the modulus of the Lyapunov exponent associated to the phase dynamics increases quadratically with the coupling strength and it is therefore different from zero already below the onset of phase-synchronization. The analytical calculations are carried out for a model, the generalized special flow, that we construct as a simplified version of the periodically forced Rossler oscillator.

From "La Esperanza" to "La Realidad" : theatre in the Borderlands
Creators: name: De La Piedra, Alejandra Medellin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis is a dramatic metaphor of the creative journey I went through when I left my native country, Mexico, to enroll in a graduate program at UBC in the Department of Theatre, Film and Creative Writing. Since I am a theatre practitioner, and not a critic or an academic, "From 'La Esperanza'to 'La Realidad'" Is not an academic dissertation, but a personal reflection on how reality has informed my theatre practice and has changed my perception of my social responsibility as an artist. The thesis' hypothesis is that there are no clear boundaries between the personal, the political and the artistic: these are three different aspects of our lives as social beings and as such our theatre practice is informed by them, whether we are conscious of it or not. This work is a product of my own practice as stage director and it is written in a personal style that combines poetry, a theatre piece and fragments from my director's journal with the intention to depict the complexity of the theatre-making process. The thesis consists of three parts. The first part is the script of La Maestra (The Teacher), a play that I directed during my first year as a graduate student. The second part of the thesis is a direct consequence of the staging of La Maestra; in it I reflect on the relation between reality and fiction juxtaposing the plot of La Maestra with the most recent events in Chiapas, Mexico. The third part is built on the question "What kind of theatre should I do?"; in it I analyse how popular theatre can be used as part of the process of cultural and political struggle led by the indigenous peoples of Mexico. These three parts are combined with a self explanatory theatre piece written by me and called "The Traveler". This piece is divided into six movements and its only character, The Traveler, is myself.

description: Minimally invasive medical procedures, such as endovascular catheterization, have drastically reduced procedure time and associated complications. However, many regions inside the body, such as in the brain vasculature, still remain inaccessible due to the lack of appropriate guidance technologies. Here, experimentally and through numerical simulations, we show that tethered ultra-flexible endovascular microscopic probes can be transported through tortuous vascular networks almost effortlessly by harnessing hydrokinetic energy. Dynamic steering at bifurcations is performed by deformation of the probe head using magnetic actuation. We developed an endovascular microrobotic toolkit with a cross-sectional area that is approximately three orders of magnitude smaller than the smallest microcatheter currently available. Our technology has the potential to revolutionize the state-of-the-art practices as it enhances the reachability, reduces the risk of iatrogenic damage, significantly increases the speed of robot-assisted interventions, and enables the deployment of multiple leads simultaneously through a standard needle injection.

Effect of nuclear magnetization distribution within the Woods-Saxon model: Hyperfine splitting in neutral Tl

description: Three models of the nuclear magnetization distribution are applied to predict the hyperfine structure of the hydrogenlike heavy ions and neutral thallium atoms: the uniformly magnetized ball model and single-particle models for the valence nucleon with the uniform distribution and the distribution determined by the Woods-Saxon potential. Results for the hydrogenlike ions are in excellent agreement with previous studies. The application of the Woods-Saxon model is now extended to the neutral systems with the explicit treatment of the electron correlation effects within the relativistic coupled cluster theory using the Dirac-Coulomb Hamiltonian. We estimate the uncertainty for the ratio of magnetic anomalies and numerically confirm its near nuclear-model independence. The ratio is used as a theoretical input to predict the nuclear magnetic moments of short-lived thallium isotopes. We also show that the differential magnetic anomalies are strongly model dependent. The accuracy of the single-particle models significantly surpasses the accuracy of the simplest uniformly magnetized ball model for the prediction of this quantity. Skripnikov [Skripnikov, J. Chem. Phys. 153, 114114 (2020)] has shown that the Bohr-Weisskopf contribution to the magnetic dipole hyperfine structure constant for an atom or a molecule induced by a heavy nucleus can be factorized into the electronic part and the universal nuclear magnetization dependent part. We numerically confirm this factorization for the Woods-Saxon single-particle model with an uncertainty less than 1%.

description: We report radio continuum and 21cm HI observations using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope of the group Ho124 comprising four late-type galaxies, NGC2820, Mrk108, NGC2814 and NGC2805. Three of the galaxies have clearly undergone tidal interactions as seen from the various morphological tidal signatures whereas other features in the group members appear to be due to ram pressure. Here, we describe four interesting results:(a) detection of the tidal radio continuum bridge at 330 MHz connecting the galaxies NGC2820+Mrk108 with NGC2814 with a spectral index of -1.8. The radio bridge was discovered by van der Hulst & Hummel (1985) who reported a spectral index of -0.8.(b) Detection of various tidal features including a possible tidal dwarf galaxy.(c) Sharp truncation in the HI distribution in the south of NGC2820 and in the HI & radio continuum in the north of NGC2814. The optical disks in both the cases look undisturbed. (d) Detection of a large one-sided HI loop to the north of NGC 2820. No radio continuum emission or Halpha emission is detected. We discuss various scenarios for the origin of this loop. The central starburst scenario is not supported due to lack of ionized gas in the loop. For an electron density of 4x10^(-4) cm^-3 we estimate the ram pressure force of the IGrM to be comparable to the gravitational pull of the disk of NGC2820. We suggest that the loop could have formed by ram pressure stripping if tidal effects had reduced the surface density of HI in NGC2820. Finally we suggest that the evolution of the Ho124 group may be governed by both tidal forces due to the interaction and ram pressure due to motion of the member galaxies in the IGrM and that the IGrM densities might not be too low (>~4x10^(-4)cm^-3). This should be verified by other observations.

description: Constraint satisfaction has always played a central role in computational
complexity theory; appropriate versions of CSPs are classical complete
problems for most standard complexity classes. CSPs constitute a very rich and
yet sufficiently manageable class of problems to give a good perspective on
general computational phenomena. For instance, they help to understand which
mathematical properties make a computational problem tractable (in a wide
sense, e.g., polynomial-time solvable, non-trivially approximable,
fixed-parameter tractable, or definable in a weak logic). In the last decade,
research activity in this area has significantly intensified and hugely
impressive progress was made.
The Dagstuhl Seminar 18231 "The Constraint Satisfaction Problem: Complexity and
Approximability" was aimed at bringing together researchers using all the
different techniques in the study of the CSP so that they can share their
insights obtained during the past three years. This report documents the
material presented during the course of the seminar.

Hirtodrosophila Duda 1923: 41. As subgenus,
type species Drosophila carinata Duda;
Grimaldi (1990), elevated to genus.
Dasydrosophila Duda, 1925: unjustified replacement for Hirtodrosophila.
DIAGNOSIS: Eye from bare to having short, dense pilosity; anterior reclinate orbital seta small to minute; postocellar setae generally crossing; carina generally very short and narrow, nearly missing in some species; arista almost always with one ventral branch, near apex; basal flagellomere with long fine setulae in some species; cibarium with sclerotized hypopharyngeal bulb, reduced number of medial sensilla (Grimaldi, 1990); oviscapt with simple margin or apical pegs differentiated, spermathecal capsule generally rounded, sclerotized; male: cerci not connected to epandrium; epandrium often with well-developed ventral lobe; surstylus often divided into dorsal and ventral lobes; hypandrium and aedeagus well developed but relatively simple.
TYPE SPECIES: Hirtodrosophila carinata Duda.
COMMENTS: The genus is probably paraphyletic with respect to Mycodrosophila Oldenberg, Paramycodrosophila Duda, and Zygothrica Wiedemann. Each of these particular genera appears to be monophyletic (Grimaldi, 1987; 1990), but may be closely related to certain groups within Hirtodrosophila. There are some groups within Hirtodrosophila that appear to be monophyletic, such as the H. hirticornis group (defined by the large, projecting pegs at the apex of the oviscapt). If this is the case, there may need to be a division of some Hirtodrosophila into these other genera, with a more narrowly defined Hirtodrosophila (sensu stricto) for some. Any reclassification should ideally involve a revision of the world species as well as further phylogenetic study using morphological and molecular data.

This is done by evaluating correlation functions of ``boundary-changing vertex operators'' which are analogous to correlators of twist fields for closed strings. We use our results to compute the mass developed at one loop by the moduli fields arising in the Neumann-Dirichlet sector.

description: This report documents the program and outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 18241 ``High-performance Graph Algorithms''. The seminar reflected the ongoing qualitative change how graph algorithms are used in practice due to (i) the complex structure of graphs
in new and emerging applications, (ii) the size of typical inputs, and (iii) the computer systems with which
graph problems are solved. This change is having a tremendous impact on the
field of graph algorithms in terms of algorithm theory and implementation as well as hardware
requirements and application areas.

The seminar covered recent advances in all these aspects, trying to balance and mediate between theory and practice.
The abstracts included in this report contain and survey recent state-of-the-art results, but also point to promising
new directions for high-performance graph algorithms and their applications, both from a theoretical and
a practical point of view.

description: The successful prediction of the specific heat of solids is a milestone in the kinetic theory of matter, due to Debye (1912). No such success, however, has ever been obtained for the specific heat of liquids, which has remained a mystery for over a century. A theory of specific heat of liquids is derived here using a recently proposed analytical form of the vibrational density of states (DOS) of liquids, which takes into account saddle points in the liquid energy landscape via the so-called instantaneous normal modes (INMs), corresponding to negative eigenvalues (imaginary frequencies) of the Hessian matrix. The theory is able to explain the typical monotonic decrease of specific heat with temperature observed in liquids, in terms of the average INM excitation lifetime decreasing with T (in accordance with Arrehnius law), and provides an excellent single-parameter fitting to several sets of experimental data for atomic and molecular liquids. It also correlates the height of the liquid energy barrier with the slope of the specific heat in function of temperature in accordance with the available data. These findings demonstrate that the specific heat of liquids is controlled by the instantaneous normal modes, i.e. by localized, unstable (exponentially decaying) vibrational excitations, and provide the missing connection between anharmonicity, saddle points in the energy landscape, and the thermodynamics of liquids.

description: This qualitative case study investigates the dynamics of a degree partnership program (DPP) between Everett Community College (EvCC) and Washington State University Everett (WSUE), focusing on how culturally informed perceptions of risk influence the creation and implementation of interorganizational relationships (IORs) in higher education. The study reveals that the DPP, as a catalyst, exposed contrasting cultural values and risk perceptions, shaping decision-making and collaboration strategies within the partnership. It examines the program’s development in the context of declining postsecondary enrollment and a growing need for higher-skilled workers, drawing on the theoretical frameworks of risk society and cultural theory.

description: decision-making processes and collaboration strategies. The analysis reveals that while both institutions share a commitment to student success, their unique cultures and historical positions within the higher education landscape contribute to differing risk perceptions, communication approaches, and definitions of program success. The study explores the potential challenges and opportunities inherent in navigating these differences, emphasizing the importance of open communication, shared goals, and a student-centered approach to ensure the program’s long-term sustainability and effectiveness. The findings provide valuable insights for higher education institutions seeking to forge successful interinstitutional collaborations in response to the complex and evolving educational landscape.

Percolation Perspective on Sites Not Visited by a Random Walk in Two Dimensions

description: We consider the percolation problem of sites on an $L\times L$ square lattice with periodic boundary conditions which were unvisited by a random walk of $N=uL^2$ steps, i.e. are vacant. Most of the results are obtained from numerical simulations. Unlike its higher-dimensional counterparts, this problem has no sharp percolation threshold and the spanning (percolation) probability is a smooth function monotonically decreasing with $u$. The clusters of vacant sites are not fractal but have fractal boundaries of dimension 4/3. The lattice size $L$ is the only large length scale in this problem. The typical mass (number of sites $s$) in the largest cluster is proportional to $L^2$, and the mean mass of the remaining (smaller) clusters is also proportional to $L^2$. The normalized (per site) density $n_s$ of clusters of size (mass) $s$ is proportional to $s^{-τ}$, while the volume fraction $P_k$ occupied by the $k$th largest cluster scales as $k^{-q}$. We put forward a heuristic argument that $τ=2$ and $q=1$. However, the numerically measured values are $τ\approx1.83$ and $q\approx1.20$. We suggest that these are effective exponents that drift towards their asymptotic values with increasing $L$ as slowly as $1/\ln L$ approaches zero.

description: Electronic Health Records(EHR) are gaining a lot of popularity all over the world. The current EHR systems however have their fair share of problems related to privacy and security. We have proposed a mechanism which provides a solution to most of these problems. Using a permissioned Ethereum blockchain allows the hospitals and patients across the world to be connected to each other. Our mechanism uses a combination of symmetric and asymmetric key cryptography to ensure the secure storage and selective access of records. It gives patients full control over their health records and also allows them to grant or revoke a hospital's access to his/her records. We have used IPFS(inter planetary file system) to store records which has the advantage of being distributed and ensures immutability of records. The proposed model also maintains the statistics of diseases without violating the privacy of any patient.

description: The astrophysical factor for 7Be(p,γ)8B at zero energy, S17(0), is determined from an analysis of 208Pb(8B, p+7Be)208Pb at 52 MeV/nucleon by means of the method of continuum-discretized coupled-channels (CDCC) taking account of all nuclear and Coulomb breakup processes. The asymptotic normalization coefficient (ANC) method is used to extract S17(0) from the calculated breakup-cross-section. The main result of the present paper is S17(0)=20.9 +2.0/-1.9 eV b. The error consists of 8.4% experimental systematic error and the error due to the ambiguity in the s-wave p-7Be scattering length. This value of S17(0) differs from the one extracted with the first-order perturbation theory including Coulomb breakup by dipole transitions: 18.9 +/- 1.8 eV b. It turns out that the difference is due to the inclusion of the nuclear and Coulomb-quadrupole transitions and multi-step processes of all-order in the present work. The p-7Be interaction potential used in the CDCC calculation is also used in the ANC analysis of 7Be(p,γ)8B. The value of S17(0)=21.7 +0.62/-0.55 eV b obtained is consistent with the previous one obtained from a precise measurement of the p-capture reaction cross section extrapolated to zero incident energy, S17(0)=22.1 +/- 0.6 (expt) +/- 0.6 (theo) eV b, where (theo) stands for the error in the extrapolation. Thus, the agreement between the values of S17(0) obtained from direct 7Be(p,γ)8B and indirect 8B-breakup measurements is significantly improved.

Subjects: new criticism; Cleanth Brooks; new historicism; john donne; The Canonization

description: Il contributo intende analizzare due modalità di analisi e interpretazione della poesia, il new criticism e il new historicism, che pur diverse nel background pratico e ideologico della loro impostazione, sono state accademicamente egemoni per gran parte del secolo scorso, orientando in modo forte il consenso teorico e le politiche d’insegnamento, soprattutto in ambito angloamericano. A questo scopo, si ripercorrono diacronicamente le analisi testuali o le interpretazioni che critici di orientamenti diversi hanno offerto di un componimento di John Donne, The Canonization, diventato nel tempo uno dei più significativi terreni di scontro per l'opposizione e l'elaborazione delle nuove proposte teoriche.

description: We perform a perturbative QCD analysis of the gluonic gravitational form factors (GFFs) of the proton and pion at large momentum transfer. We derive the explicit factorization formula of the GFFs in terms of the distribution amplitudes of hadrons. At the leading power, we find that $A_g^π(t)=C_g^π(t)\sim 1/(-t)$ for pion, $A_g^p(t)\sim 1/(-t)^2$ and $C_g^p(t)\sim \ln^2(-t/Λ^2)/(-t)^3$ for proton, respectively, where $t$ is the momentum transfer and $Λ$ a non-perturbative scale to regulate the endpoint singularity in $C_g^p$ calculation. Our results provide a unique perspective of the momentum dependence of the GFFs and will help to improve our understanding of the internal pressure distributions of hadrons.

Little SUSY hierarchy in mixed modulus-anomaly mediation

description: Motivated by the KKLT string compactification involving a supersymmetry-breaking uplifting potential, we examine 4D effective supergravity with a generic form of uplifting potential, focusing on the possibility that the resulting mixed modulus-anomaly mediated soft terms realize the little hierarchy between the Higgs boson masses $m_H$ and the sparticle masses $m_{SUSY}$. It is noted that for some type of uplifting potential, the anomaly-mediated contribution to $m_H^2$ at $M_{GUT}$ can cancel the subsequent renormalization group evolution of $m_H^2$ down to TeV scale, thereby the model can naturally realize the little hierarchy $m_H^2\sim m_{SUSY}^2/8π^2$ which is desirable for the lightest Higgs boson mass to satisfy the experimental bound. In such models, the other Higgs mass parameters $μ$ and $B$ can have the desirable size $μ\sim B \sim m_H$ without severe fine-tuning of parameters, although the gravitino is much heavier than the Higgs boson. Those models for the little hierarchy avoid naturally the dangerous SUSY flavor and CP violations, and predict nearly degenerate low energy gaugino masses, pure Higgsino LSP, and also a specific relation between the stop and gaugino masses.

description: My graduation project is intended to investigate an alternative to the high density and medium density dwelling projects, as discussed in the Directed Study, which demonstrate little or no connection to the city, the ground plane or amenity space. I have elected to consider the problem of urban medium density dwelling and will focus on fostering a superior relationship between the medium density dwelling and the city. This exercise will be directed towards understanding the issues and problems of the three to four storey main street mixed use residential /commercial building. In my project, I will focus on first, reinterpreting the boundary between the private spaces of the apartment and the public space of city, second, on improving the transition from the public to the private and third, providing a livable environment within the high density of the city. I will dissect the city/dwelling relationship into three constituent parts Urban networks within the fabric of the building, Interstitial (or transitional space) and the dwelling. These conditions, which will be outlined in detail, serve as a frame in the discussion of how to create a meaningful connection between the city and the urban dwelling.
