description: The Tropical Andes is among the top of the list of worldwide hotspots for endemic species. This region also supports exceptional cultural diversity and large populations of indigenous peoples. Home to some of the earliest recorded human civilizations, the Andes are also where numerous crops, including potatoes, beans, quinoa, amaranth, tobacco, and coca were first domesticated. Indigenous populations today play important roles in economic activities, politics, and land use and stewardship, and therefore can be important allies in biodiversity conservation. This biodiversity hotspot is identified as one of the most severely threatened areas in the tropics. The numerous threats to the tropical Andes' biodiversity have been compounded in recent years by the manifold impacts of climate change. A Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund (CEPF) aims to ensure that civil society is engaged in efforts to conserve biodiversity in the hotspots, and to this end, CEPF provides civil society with an agile and flexible funding mechanism complementing funding currently available to government agencies. In 2013, CEPF began exploring an investment program in the Tropical Andes Hotspot, extending from Venezuela to northern Argentina. NatureServe led a team to delineate Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) areas in most critical need of protection to limit species extinction. Regional threats analyses and workshops were conducted, documenting strategies for civil society to pursue around each KBA. CEPF promotes working alliances among community-based organizations (CBOs), nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), government, academic institutions and the private sector, combining unique capacities and eliminating duplicative efforts for a comprehensive approach to conservation.

description: Exoplanets, and in particular hot ones such as hot Jupiters, require a very significant quantities of molecular spectroscopic data to model radiative transport in their atmospheres or to interpret their spectra. This data is commonly provided in the form of very extensive transition line lists. The size of these line lists is such that constructing a single model may require the consideration of several billion lines. We present a procedure to simplify this process based on the use of cross sections. Line lists for water, H$_3^+$, HCN /HNC and ammonia have been turned into cross sections on a fine enough grid to preserve their spectroscopic features. Cross sections are provided at a fixed range of temperatures and an interpolation procedure which can be used to generate cross sections at arbitrary temperatures is described. A web-based interface (www.exomol.com/xsec) has been developed to allow astronomers to download cross sections at specified temperatures and spectral resolution. Specific examples are presented for the key water molecule.

description: The hyperfine-induced 2s 2p 3 P0→2s2 1 S0 transition rate in Be-like sulfur was measured by monitoring the decay of isotopically pure beams of 32S12+ and 33S12+ ions in a heavy-ion storage ring. Within the 4% experimental uncertainty the experimental value of 0.096(4) s−1 agrees with the most recent theoretical results of [ Cheng et al. Phys. Rev. A 77 052504 (2008)] and [ Andersson et al. Phys. Rev. A 79 032501 (2009)]. Repeated experiments with different magnetic fields in the storage-ring bending magnets demonstrate that artificial quenching of the 2s 2p 3 P0 state by these magnetic fields is negligible.

description: Nanostructured cermet (ceramic-metallic) coatings are a group of materials that combine properties possessed by ceramics, such as oxidation resistance and high hardness, and the properties of metals such as strength and ductility. These coatings consist of nano-sized metal-oxide particles (i.e. Ah03) dispersed into a corrosion resistant metal matrix such as nickel. Cermet coatings have been used in many industrial applications such as cutting tools and jet engines where high temperature and erosion resistance performance are required. However, despite the promising properties, the lack of experimental data and theories on high temperature oxidation and mechanical properties of cermet coatings have restricted their full potential to be used in technologies for oil sand production such as In-Situ Combustion (ISC). In this study, the structure of cermet coatings was investigated to identify the characteristics that give rise to oxidation performance and wear resistance properties of cermet coatings. The experimental oxidation results on the single-component oxide cermet coatings showed that when Ah03 and Ti02 were combined in the electrolyte, the new combination can improve oxidation performance (less mass gain) as compared to a pure Ni coating. Based on the oxidation and micro-hardness results, a new group of nanostructured cermet coatings ( double-component oxides) was developed and investigated using long term oxidation tests, thermo-gravimetric analysis in mixed gas, thermal cycling, micro-hardness and abrasive wear tests. The mechanical analysis of the newly developed coatings showed improved resistance against wear and thermal cycling compared to single-component oxide cermet and pure Ni coatings. Furthermore, some new theoretical analysis were also put forward that aims at a new explanation of high temperature oxidation for cermet coatings.

description: Objective: Alcohol misuse is present in over a quarter of trauma patients. Information in the clinical notes of the electronic health record of trauma patients may be used for phenotyping tasks with natural language processing (NLP) and supervised machine learning. The objective of this study is to train and validate an NLP classifier for identifying patients with alcohol misuse. Materials and Methods: An observational cohort of 1422 adult patients admitted to a trauma center between April 2013 and November 2016. Linguistic processing of clinical notes was performed using the clinical Text Analysis and Knowledge Extraction System. The primary analysis was the binary classification of alcohol misuse. The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test served as the reference standard. Results: The data corpus comprised 91 045 electronic health record notes and 16 091 features. In the final machine learning classifier, 16 features were selected from the first 24 hours of notes for identifying alcohol misuse. The classifier's performance in the validation cohort had an area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve of 0.78 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.72 to 0.85). Sensitivity and specificity were at 56.0% (95% CI, 44.1% to 68.0%) and 88.9% (95% CI, 84.4% to 92.8%). The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test demonstrates the classifier fits the data well (P.17). A simpler rule-based keyword approach had a decrease in sensitivity when compared with the NLP classifier from 56.0% to 18.2%. Conclusions: The NLP classifier has adequate predictive validity for identifying alcohol misuse in trauma centers. External validation is needed before its application to augment screening.

Discovering Dewey: an historical investigation of early American psychology
Creators: name: Burns, Dane
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2012

description: Bibliography: p. 201-212
description: The purpose of this dissertation is to understand and explicate John Dewey's psychological theorizing, which has been obscured in the traditional narrative of psychology's history. The thesis is developed by demonstrating the progression of Dewey's psychological thought in his early and middle works, roughly stretching from 1882 until 1922. The psychological perspective developed is one that acquired its foundations through Hegelian philosophy and the new experimental psychology. Dewey then proceeded to strip his psychology from faulty metaphysical aspects of Hegelian thought to focus on the concrete particulars of human experience while retaining a Hegelian emphasis on the holistic and purposeful dimensions of human life. In doing so Dewey developed a pragmatic method to bridge the gap between idealism and empiricism to account for moral activity in a dynamic world where ideas have to be judge within particular contexts according to their benefit in improving social life. This resulted in a view of human experience as dynamic and contingent, which necessitates an open attitude of mind that is problem oriented and understood within the context of particular institutional problems that need solving. Dewey's psychology is positioned against the mainstream of the discipline as it was being developed allowing for comparative and alternative approach to psychological practice. It is concluded that Dewey's psychology differed vastly then how the discipline would conceptualize psychological phenomena and raises interesting questions for psychological practice.

description: We have measured electron-ion recombination for C-like Mg6 + forming Mg5 +, and for B-like Mg7 + forming Mg6 +. These studies were performed using a merged electron-ion beam arrangement at the TSR heavy ion storage ring located in Heidelberg, Germany. Both primary ions have metastable levels with significant lifetimes. Using a simple cascade model we estimate the population fractions in these metastable levels. For the Mg6 + results, we find that the majority of the stored ions are in a metastable level, while for Mg7 + the metastable fraction is insignificant. We present the Mg6 + merged beams recombination rate coefficient for DR via N = 2 → N' = 2 core electron excitations (ΔN = 0 DR) and for Mg7 + via 2 → 2 and 2 → 3 core excitations. Taking the estimated metastable populations into account, we compare our results to state-of-the-art multiconfiguration Breit-Pauli theoretical calculations. Significant differences are found at low energies where theory is known to be unreliable. Moreover, for both ions we observe a discrepancy between experiment and theory for ΔN = 0 DR involving capture into high-n Rydberg levels and where the stabilization is primarily due to a radiative transition of the excited core electron. This is consistent with previous DR experiments on M-shell iron ions which were performed at TSR. The large metastable content of the Mg6 + ion beam precludes generating a plasma recombination rate coefficient (PRRC). However, this is not an issue for Mg7 + and we present an experimentally derived Mg7 + PRRC for plasma temperatures from 400 K to 107 K with an estimated uncertainty of less than 27% at a 90% confidence level. We also provide a fit to our experimentally derived PRRC for use in plasma modeling codes.
Non-extremal Reissner-Nordstrom black hole: Do asymptotic quasi-normal modes carry information about the quantum properties of the black hole?

description: We analyze the largely accepted formulas for the asymptotic quasi-normal frequencies of the non-extremal Reissner-Nordström black hole, (for the electromagnetic-gravitational/scalar perturbations). We focus on the question of whether the gap in the spacing in the imaginary part of the QNM frequencies has a well defined limit as n goes to infinity and if so, what is the value of the limit. The existence and the value of this limit has a crucial importance from the point of view of the currently popular Maggiore's conjecture, which represents a way of connecting the asymptotic behavior of the quasi-normal frequencies to the black hole thermodynamics. With the help of previous results and insights we will prove that the gap in the imaginary part of the frequencies does not converge to any limit, unless one puts specific constraints on the ratio of the two surface gravities related to the two spacetime horizons. Specifically the constraints are that the ratio of the surface gravities must be rational and such that it is given by two relatively prime integers N, M, whose product is an even number. If the constraints are fulfilled the limit of the sequence is still not guaranteed to exist, but if it exists its value is given as the lowest common multiplier of the two surface gravities. At the end of the paper we discuss the possible implications of our results.

description: There is an abundance of evidence that infants possess a mechanism that tracks statistical regularities in the input. During the process of language acquisition, infants' perceptual system interacts with statistical information in the speech stream. Processing this information depends on initial perceptual biases, the infant's developmental level, and the particular task at hand (Werker & Curtin, 2005). Initially the system tracks information based on the raw acoustic salience of the speech input, but over time experience with the native language can shift perception. In this dissertation, I examine how knowledge acquired about the native language influences infants' perception of sound sequences, segmentation of words from the speech stream, and word-object mapping. Chapter 2 investigates infants' sensitivity to type or token frequency in onset phonotactics. Here, infants of 9-months, but not 6- months, showed a novelty preference for low frequency stop-liquid onsets, suggesting that they are sensitive to the frequency in which native language phonotactics occur. Chapter 3 explores infants' segmentation of words that contain legal or illegal onset clusters. Only infants in the legal condition successfully segmented the target word from the fluent speech stream, which demonstrates that knowledge of phonotactics influences segmentation. Chapter 4 focuses on the whether the salience of a contrast influences infants' ability to map novel words to novel objects. Fourteen-month-olds mapped words containing a liquid contrast in word-initial position, but were less successful when the liquid was embedded in a cluster or when the singleton onset liquid was shortened. Together these findings demonstrate that young infants track the frequency in which sound patterns co-occur, use this infonnation speech segmentation, and rely on the acoustic salience of a contrast to detect subtle differences in word forms. The findings of these studies suggest that as infants' representations form, they influence the subsequent processing of information. Stored word forms and a developing sound system work together to build the lexicon and the phonological system. The findings provide support for PRIMIR, and demonstrate the importance of the infant's emerging lexical knowledge in the perception, segmentation, and learning of words.
A Space-time Smooth Artificial Viscosity Method For Nonlinear Conservation Laws

description: We introduce a new methodology for adding localized, space-time smooth, artificial viscosity to nonlinear systems of conservation laws which propagate shock waves, rarefactions, and contact discontinuities, which we call the $C$-method. We shall focus our attention on the compressible Euler equations in one space dimension. The novel feature of our approach involves the coupling of a linear scalar reaction-diffusion equation to our system of conservation laws, whose solution $C(x,t)$ is the coefficient to an additional (and artificial) term added to the flux, which determines the location, localization, and strength of the artificial viscosity. Near shock discontinuities, $C(x,t)$ is large and localized, and transitions smoothly in space-time to zero away from discontinuities. Our approach is a provably convergent, spacetime-regularized variant of the original idea of Richtmeyer and Von Neumann, and is provided at the level of the PDE, thus allowing a host of numerical discretization schemes to be employed. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the $C$-method with three different numerical implementations and apply these to a collection of classical problems: the Sod shock-tube, the Osher-Shu shock-tube, the Woodward-Colella blast wave and the Leblanc shock-tube. First, we use a classical continuous finite-element implementation using second-order discretization in both space and time, FEM-C. Second, we use a simplified WENO scheme within our $C$-method framework, WENO-C. Third, we use WENO with the Lax-Friedrichs flux together with the $C$-equation, and call this WENO-LF-C. All three schemes yield higher-order discretization strategies, which provide sharp shock resolution with minimal overshoot and noise, and compare well with higher-order WENO schemes that employ approximate Riemann solvers, outperforming them for the difficult Leblanc shock tube experiment.

description: We present results from two long-duration GRMHD simulations of advection-dominated accretion around a non-spinning black hole. The first simulation was designed to avoid significant accumulation of magnetic flux around the black hole. This simulation was run for a time of 200,000GM/c^3 and achieved inflow equilibrium out to a radius \sim90GM/c^2. Even at this relatively large radius, the mass outflow rate \dot{M}_{out} is found to be only 60% of the net mass inflow rate \dot{M}_{BH} into the black hole. The second simulation was designed to achieve substantial magnetic flux accumulation around the black hole in a magnetically arrested disc. This simulation was run for a shorter time of 100,000GM/c^3. Nevertheless, because the mean radial velocity was several times larger than in the first simulation, it reached inflow equilibrium out to a radius \sim170GM/c^2. Here, \dot{M}_{out} becomes equal to \dot{M}_{BH} at r\sim 160GM/c^2. Since the mass outflow rates in the two simulations do not show robust convergence with time, it is likely that the true outflow rates are lower than our estimates. The effect of black hole spin on mass outflow remains to be explored. Neither simulation shows strong evidence for convection, though a complete analysis including the effect of magnetic fields is left for the future.

description: Idealized experiments with the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM) are used to explore the mechanism(s) whereby the stratospheric quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) modulates the Northern Hemisphere wintertime stratospheric polar vortex. Overall, the effect of the critical line emphasized in the Holton–Tan mechanism is less important than the effect of the mean meridional circulation associated with QBO winds for the polar response to the QBO. More specifically, the introduction of easterly winds at the equator near 50 hPa 1) causes enhanced synoptic-scale Eliassen–Palm flux (EPF) convergence in the subtropics from 150 to 50 hPa, which leads to the subtropical critical line moving poleward in the lower stratosphere, and 2) creates a barrier to planetary wave propagation from subpolar latitudes to midlatitudes in the middle and upper stratosphere (e.g., less equatorward EPF near 50°N), which leads to enhanced planetary wave convergence in the polar vortex region. These two effects are mechanistically distinct; while the former is related to the subtropical critical line, the latter is due to the mean meridional circulation of the QBO. All of these effects are consistent with linear theory, although the evolution of the entire wind distribution is only quasi-linear because induced zonal wind changes cause the wave driving to shift and thereby positively feed back on the zonal wind changes. Finally, downward propagation of the QBO in the equatorial stratosphere, upper stratospheric equatorial zonal wind, and changes in the tropospheric circulation appear to be less important than lower stratospheric easterlies for the polar stratospheric response. Overall, an easterly QBO wind anomaly in the lower stratosphere leads to a weakened stratospheric polar vortex, in agreement with previous studies, although not because of changes in the subtropical critical line.

description: Pannexinl (Panx 1) is a large-pore channel present in the post-synaptic site that has been implicated in an in vitro model of seizure-like burst firing. However, the precise contribution of Panxl to seizure activity remains controversial, with many inconsistent findings. Furthermore, the contribution of Panxl to the development of ictogenic nervous tissue ('epileptogenesis') has not been investigated. The present experiments pursue three lines of research in an attempt to further characterize the role of Panxl in seizure and epileptogenesis. The contributions of Panxl to susceptibility to seizure, seizure severity and seizure duration were studied in vivo using both the pilocarpine model of seizure and status epilepticus, and the electrical kindling model of seizure and epileptogenesis. Further, the effect of Panx 1 block on the process of epileptogenesis itself in the electrical kindling model was examined. Finally, the role of Panxl in local excitability and short-term potentiation following epileptogenesis were studied using acute hippocampal slices obtained from kindled and sham kindled rats. A single early central infusion of Panxl blocker was sufficient to chronically attenuate epileptogenesis. Furthermore, Panxl block acutely decreased seizure severity and afterdischarge threshold in fully kindled animals in the electrical kindling model. Panxl block was also found to acutely decrease seizure severity and increase seizure latency, but not seizure duration in the pilocarpine model. Finally, Panxl block was also found to increase paired-pulse facilitation but not differentially between kindled and non-kindled tissue.

description: Entangled quantum particles have correlations stronger than those allowed by classical physics. These correlations are the focus of of the deepest issues in quantum mechanics [1-3] and are the basis of many quantum technologies. The entanglement of discrete particle properties has been studied extensively in the context of quantum computing [4], cryptography [5], and quantum repeaters [6] while entanglement between the continuous properties of particles may play a critical role in improving the sensitivity of gravitational wave detectors [7,8], atomic clocks [9], and other high precision instruments. The attributes of three or more entangled particles are fundamentally different from those of two entangled particles [10-14]. While the discrete variables of up to 14 ions [15] and the continuous variables between three intense optical beams [16, 17] have been entangled, it has remained an open challenge to entangle the continuous properties of more than two individual particles. Here we experimentally demonstrate genuine tripartite continuous-variable entanglement between three separated particles. In our setup the three particles are photons created directly from a single input photon; the creation process leads to quantum correlations between the colours, or energies, and emission times of the photons. The entanglement between our three photons is the three-party generalization of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) [1] correlations for continuous variables, and allows for new fundamental tests of quantum mechanics to be carried out. Our scheme can be extended to carry out multi-particle Franson interferometry [18,19], and opens the possibility of using additional degrees of freedom in our photons to simultaneously engineer discrete and continuous-variable hyper-entangled states that could serve as a valuable resource in a wide variety of quantum information tasks.
Maximum Segment Sum, Monadically (distilled tutorial, with solutions)

description: The maximum segment sum problem is to compute, given a list of integers, the largest of the sums of the contiguous segments of that list. This problem specification maps directly onto a cubic-time algorithm; however, there is a very elegant linear-time solution too. The problem is a classic exercise in the mathematics of program construction, illustrating important principles such as calculational development, pointfree reasoning, algebraic structure, and datatype-genericity. Here, we take a sideways look at the datatype-generic version of the problem in terms of monadic functional programming, instead of the traditional relational approach; the presentation is tutorial in style, and leavened with exercises for the reader.

description: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating and devastating neurodegenerative disease affecting thousands of Canadians. Accumulating evidence indicates depression and anxiety are co-morbidities affecting a large proportion of MS patients. This thesis tests the hypothesis that, independent of motor deficits, animals with experimental MS will display cognitive behavioural alterations that are associated with inflammatory changes in areas such as the amygdala and hippocampus. Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE) was elicited in mice, and, 7-8 days later, before any motor deficits were observed, mice with EAE displayed increased anxiety-like symptoms in the elevated plus maze and open field, increased depressive-like symptoms in the Porsolt swim and tail suspension tests and decreased sociability. Quantitative RT- PCR indicated that TNF-a and IL-1?? mRNA was generally insignificant in the amygdala and hippocampus of EAE animals compared to controls; thus further studies are required to elucidate if neuroinflammatory changes in the brain are associated with the behavioural alterations.

description: Although it is protected by the Endangered Species Act, both management and recovery of the Florida panther is contingent on habitat conservation on private lands as well as landowner support for panther conservation efforts. Conflict over cattle depredation by the Florida panther and mitigation for incidental take of the panther has contributed to the formation of the Florida Panther Recovery Implementation Team by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). This Team consists of representatives of the USFWS, the National Park Service, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), environmental NGOs and private landowners, with a mandate to facilitate the recovery of the Florida panther, in part by addressing the human dimensions of panther recovery. One of the key challenges that agencies face is how to engage stakeholders (in particular landowners) in panther management, which is particularly difficult when there is a history of distrust between agencies and stakeholders. To assist in these efforts, I conducted interviews and focus group meetings with a variety of stakeholders to assess their opinions about human-panther conflict, options for managing the Florida panther on private lands, habitat conservation incentives, and the role of agencies in mitigating human-panther conflicts. I will present a synthesis of these discussions and I will highlight the key areas of contention and conflict between various stakeholder groups that must be addressed in order to attain panther recovery.
Peeling of the Weyl tensor and gravitational radiation in higher dimensions

description: The peeling behaviour of the Weyl tensor near null infinity is determined for an asymptotically flat higher dimensional spacetime. The result is qualitatively different from the peeling property in 4d. To leading order, the Weyl tensor is type N. The first subleading term is type II. The next term is algebraically general in 6 or more dimensions but in 5 dimensions another type N term appears before the algebraically general term. The Bondi energy flux is written in terms of "Newman-Penrose" Weyl components.

description: The origin of interstellar dust in galaxies is poorly understood, particularly the relative contributions from supernovae and the cool stellar winds of low-intermediate mass stars. Here, we present Herschel PACS and SPIRE photometry at 70-500um of the historical young supernova remnants: Kepler and Tycho; both thought to be the remnants of Type Ia explosion events. We detect a warm dust component in Kepler's remnant with T = 82K and mass 0.0031Msun; this is spatially coincident with thermal X-ray emission optical knots and filaments, consistent with the warm dust originating in the circumstellar material swept up by the primary blast wave of the remnant. Similarly for Tycho's remnant, we detect warm dust at 90K with mass 0.0086Msun. Comparing the spatial distribution of the warm dust with X-rays from the ejecta and swept-up medium, and Ha emission arising from the post-shock edge, we show that the warm dust is swept up interstellar material. We find no evidence of a cool (25-50 K) component of dust with mass >0.07Msun as observed in core-collapse remnants of massive stars. Neither the warm or cold dust components detected here are spatially coincident with supernova ejecta material. We compare the lack of observed supernova dust with a theoretical model of dust formation in Type Ia remnants which predicts dust masses of 0.088(0.017)Msun for ejecta expanding into surrounding densities of 1(5)cm-3. The model predicts that silicon- and carbon-rich dust grains will encounter the interior edge of the observed dust emission at 400 years confirming that the majority of the warm dust originates from swept up circumstellar or interstellar grains (for Kepler and Tycho respectively). The lack of cold dust grains in the ejecta suggests that Type Ia remnants do not produce substantial quantities of iron-rich dust grains and has important consequences for the 'missing' iron mass observed in ejecta.
