description: Hazardous waste is a twentieth-century phenomenon and a late twentieth-century problem. For as long as “industry” has existed, there has been waste that was harmful to health and the environment. With the chemical-industrial revolution of the 1930s and the age of consumption after the Second World War, this danger rose exponentially. Additionally, the Cold War arms race and concomitant stockpiling of chemical and atomic weapons with an “expiration” date created massive amounts of hazardous waste. Ever-stricter waste management regulation added to the growth of hazardous waste—more materials were identified as dangerous and blacklisted. Many everyday objects, such as batteries, motor oil, or electronic gadgets also turn into hazardous waste and require special care and treatment. Yet, hazardous waste is not easily contained; it often turns out to be more mobile than one would wish—both as a pollutant and a contested commodity. This exhibition will introduce you to the hidden world of the global waste economy. But fear not: there is hope at the end of this waste story!

 Abstract
 In 2021, the European Commission launched Open Research Europe (ORE), a publishing platform in collaboration with F1000. ORE is an open access publishing platform for research resulting from Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe funding, covering all subjects in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, as well as social sciences, arts, and humanities. The platform utilises a post-publication peer-review model, offering an open and cost-effective publishing solution that supports open science practices and transparency in the publishing process. ORE provides a broad range of metrics to measure the scientific and social impact of articles and offers information on their use and re-use. Furthermore, it enables researchers to comply with their funding requirements for immediate open access and open data, without any additional cost. Many of ORE's features and policies address key issues and challenges currently being discussed within the scholarly publishing ecosystem, as well as the open science movement in general. Such features include an array of innovative article types which enable authors to publish research throughout their project’s development. The open peer review model facilitates constructive discussion and greater transparency between author, reviewer, and reader. Since the platform's launch, there have been numerous changes, which this session aims to cover. The session will also report on the growth of the platform’s use, the number of published article types by research area, as well as the geographical spread of authors. Whether it's your first-time hearing about ORE or you think you're already familiar with it, come and learn about recent developments to the publishing platform and what the future holds. This session aims to provide an overview of the publishing model offered by ORE and promote discussion around its various elements and their effectiveness in solving current issues with the publishing system.

description: Cloud computing systems promise to offer subscription-oriented, enterprise-quality computing services to users worldwide. With the increased demand for delivering services to a large number of users, they need to offer differentiated services to users and meet their quality expectations. Existing resource management systems in data centers are yet to support Service Level Agreement (SLA)-oriented resource allocation, and thus need to be enhanced to realize cloud computing and utility computing. In addition, no work has been done to collectively incorporate customer-driven service management, computational risk management, and autonomic resource management into a market-based resource management system to target the rapidly changing enterprise requirements of Cloud computing. This paper presents vision, challenges, and architectural elements of SLA-oriented resource management. The proposed architecture supports integration of marketbased provisioning policies and virtualisation technologies for flexible allocation of resources to applications. The performance results obtained from our working prototype system shows the feasibility and effectiveness of SLA-based resource provisioning in Clouds.

Designing performance based contracts in supply chains
Creators: name: Liang, Liping
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis addresses the design of performance-based contracts in decentralized supply chains when a supplier’s effort is unobservable. The first two essays explore issues in the design of service level agreements (SLAs), a type of performance-based incentive scheme widely used for outsourcing manufacturing and services. We consider a supply chain in which a supplier manages the supply of a durable product for a buyer and the buyer contracts with the supplier on the supplier’s inventory service level. The SLAs are discontinuous incentive schemes with a multi-period review strategy, and the supplier’s performance measure is the ready rate. The first essay investigates the effectiveness of two common types of SLAs: a lump-sum penalty SLA and a linear-penalty SLA. We find that when the supplier can observe the performance history and dynamically adjust the investment in inventory to affect her review period performance, to mitigate the supplier’s incentive for strategic behavior, the penalty should be dependent on the degree of the supplier’s performance deviation from the target. The second essay focuses on the effectiveness of performance measures in SLAs. The problem is similar to that in the first essay, but the supplier can invest in inventory and in lead time. We consider two inventory performance measures: immediate ready rate and time-window ready rate, and find that there exists a unique positive time window such that a ready rate with window induces the first-best investments. Our findings demonstrate the importance of choosing the right performance measure to align a supplier’s incentive. The third essay investigates the design of performance-based volume incentive schemes in the form of allocating business between suppliers when a buyer maximizes his long-run discounted payoff from repeated dual sourcing. We consider both the case where a supplier’s effort cost is proportional to her business volume and the case where the cost is independent of her volume. We find that to induce and maintain suppliers’ competition over time, the optimal scheme depends on each supplier’s current share of business and is generally not a simple rank-order tournament; handicapping the definition of winner can do better than a simple first-past-the-post rule.

description: This virtual exhibition presents for the first time the complementarity of the astronomical and biocultural research conducted at the extreme ends of Chile. The world’s clearest skies above the Atacama Desert and the planet’s cleanest waters and ecosystems in the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve (CHBR) offer unique opportunities for exploring the cosmos, from supernovae and constellations to tiny organisms. The examination of biophysical dimensions discloses surprising similarities between structures and patterns of galaxies and rocks, rivers, and organisms, including humans on Earth. This research invites us to appreciate the beauty of the cosmos and ponder our life habits in order to foster responsible ways of coexisting with diverse human and other-than-human inhabitants.

description: We give a new construction of a Hopf algebra defined first by Reading whose bases are indexed by objects belonging to the Baxter combinatorial family (i.e., Baxter permutations, pairs of twin binary trees, etc.). Our construction relies on the definition of the Baxter monoid, analog of the plactic monoid and the sylvester monoid, and on a Robinson-Schensted-like correspondence and insertion algorithm. Indeed, the Baxter monoid leads to the definition of a lattice structure over pairs of twin binary trees and the definition of a Hopf algebra. The algebraic properties of this Hopf algebra are studied and among other, multiplicative bases are provided, and freeness and self-duality proved.

description: The low-temperature states of bosonic fluids exhibit fundamental quantum effects at the macroscopic scale: the best-known examples are Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) and superfluidity, which have been tested experimentally in a variety of different systems. When bosons are interacting, disorder can destroy condensation leading to a so-called Bose glass. This phase has been very elusive to experiments due to the absence of any broken symmetry and of a finite energy gap in the spectrum. Here we report the observation of a Bose glass of field-induced magnetic quasiparticles in a doped quantum magnet (Br-doped dichloro-tetrakis-thiourea-Nickel, DTN). The physics of DTN in a magnetic field is equivalent to that of a lattice gas of bosons in the grand-canonical ensemble; Br-doping introduces disorder in the hoppings and interaction strengths, leading to localization of the bosons into a Bose glass down to zero field, where it acquires the nature of an incompressible Mott glass. The transition from the Bose glass (corresponding to a gapless spin liquid) to the BEC (corresponding to a magnetically ordered phase) is marked by a novel, universal exponent governing the scaling on the critical temperature with the applied field, in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions. Our study represents the first, quantitative account of the universal features of disordered bosons in the grand-canonical ensemble.

description: Splitting of Cooper pairs has recently been realized experimentally for s-wave Cooper pairs. A split Cooper pair represents an entangled two-electron pair state which has possible application in on-chip quantum computation. Likewise the spin-activity of interfaces in nanoscale tunnel junctions has been investigated theoretically and experimentally in recent years. However, the possible implications of spin-active interfaces in Cooper pair splitters so far have not been investigated. We analyse the current and the cross correlation of currents in a superconductor ferromagnet beamsplitter including spin-active scattering. Using the Hamiltonian formalism we calculate the cumulant generating function of charge transfer. As a first step, we discuss characteristics of the conductance for crossed Andreev reflection in superconductor ferromagnet beamsplitters with s-wave and p-wave superconductors and no spin-active scattering. In a second step, we consider spin-active scattering and show how to realize p-wave splitting only using a s-wave superconductor via the process of spin-flipped crossed Andreev reflection. We present results for the conductance and cross correlations. Spin-activity of interfaces in Cooper pair splitters allows for new features in ordinary s-wave Cooper pair splitters, that can otherwise only be realised by using p-wave superconductors. In particular it provides access to Bell states different from the typical spin singlet state.

description: We present precision neutron scattering measurements of the Bose-Einstein condensate fraction, n0(T), and the atomic momentum distribution, n\star(k), of liquid 4He at pressure p =24 bar. Both the temperature dependence of n0(T) and of the width of n\star(k) are determined. The n0(T) can be represented by n0(T) = n0(0)[1-(T/Tλ)γ] with a small n0(0) = 2.80\pm0.20% and large γ = 13\pm2 for T < Tλ indicating strong interaction. The onset of BEC is accompanied by a significant narrowing of the n\star(k). The narrowing accounts for 65% of the drop in kinetic energy below Tλ and reveals an important coupling between BEC and k > 0 states. The experimental results are well reproduced by Path Integral Monte Carlo calculations.

Radio frequency engineering

description: During the last decades, it is known that radioactivity, both natural and manmade, is directly or indirectly released into the Earth’s ecosystem, affecting all forms of life and especially humans themselves. However, through the study of radioactive isotopes and the production of new artificial ones, man has managed to revolutionize scientific fields such as medicine, industry and Science in general. But natural processes and human activities related to radioactivity leave waste (residues). Some of these residues continue to exist in the natural environment, depending on the geological and climate conditions of every place. In this dissertation we collected 20 soil samples and 10 sediment samples in order to determine the radioactive background of Lesvos Island. Measurements in dose rate took place in-situ using a portable NaI scintillation detector and then gamma spectroscopy analysis was performed in soil and beach sand samples using a high purity germanium detector. The results include the concentrations of natural radioactive isotopes of 234Th, 226Ra, 232Th and 40K as well as the artificial isotope 137Cs. Also, the comparison between the measured dose rate measured by the portable detector and the estimated dose rate determined via the activity concentrations (germanium detector) is presented in this work, followed by a comparison with the findings of an earlier study conducted on the western side of the island.
Is bycatch a big problem for small fish? Assessing and addressing the impacts of tropical shrimp trawling on small fish species
Creators: name: Foster, Sarah Jane
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: My research, focused on the industrial shrimp fishery in southern Gulf of California, aimed to determine whether tropical shrimp trawling is a problem for viability of incidentally captured small fish species. My first objective was to use life history information to evaluate possible impacts on four small fish species from their incidental capture. I applied length based indicators and qualitative criteria to information on captured sizes, reproduction, and distributions across the study site. My results suggested potential for overfishing silver stardrum and bigscale goatfish, largely because most sampled individuals were immature. Silver stardrum may be particularly affected because its occurrence and density declined during the trawling season whereas goatfish apparently recruited to the study area. Most sampled sandperch were mature, suggesting greater resilience to trawling. In contrast, sampled lumptail searobin, although mature, had not yet spawned, indicating potential for adverse fishing effects. Because human behaviour affects the success of fisheries management, my second objective was to shed light on the social dimensions of tropical shrimp fisheries management. My interviews with industrial trawl fishers suggested that proper enforcement and reliable governance are essential for a sustainable fishery. If enforcement were strong, then most fishers would support trawl free areas. The effort data I gathered point to areas where protection might be socially acceptable. My third objective considered the biological appropriateness of trawl closures for small fishes. The divergent distributions of bigscale goatfish and silver stardrum, just two of many small species in bycatch, implied that trawl restrictions would have to cover many depths and latitudes. Further, although my matrix model was of limited use for assessing population status of silver stardrum, it clearly indicated that precautionary management should focus on increasing survival of younger fish. This could be achieved with trawl closures where smaller fish live. While the approaches I used identified small fishes that might be vulnerable to trawling, they are too data intensive to be viable for the hundreds of such species in bycatch, and too inconclusive to confirm impact. It may be necessary to apply precautionary methods such as trawl closures to avoid potential effects of indiscriminate trawling.

description: This paper proposes a speech-based method for automatic depression classification. The system is based on ensemble learning for Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and is evaluated using the data and the experimental protocol provided in the Depression Classification Sub-Challenge (DCC) at the 2016 Audio-Visual Emotion Challenge (AVEC-2016). In the pre-processing phase, speech files are represented as a sequence of log-spectrograms and randomly sampled to balance positive and negative samples. For the classification task itself, first, a more suitable architecture for this task, based on One-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Networks, is built. Secondly, several of these CNN-based models are trained with different initializations and then the corresponding individual predictions are fused by using an Ensemble Averaging algorithm and combined per speaker to get an appropriate final decision. The proposed ensemble system achieves satisfactory results on the DCC at the AVEC-2016 in comparison with a reference system based on Support Vector Machines and hand-crafted features, with a CNN+LSTM-based system called DepAudionet, and with the case of a single CNN-based classifier.

The {assumption of the Boussinesq approximation made in these models} prevents a realistic description of the solar cycle, but through a physically motivated change in the boundary condition for the differential rotation the propagation of dynamo waves towards higher latitudes can be reversed at least at low latitudes.

description: We use high (0."65 x 0."52,(65x52pc)) resolution SubMillimeter Array (SMA) observations to image the CO and 13CO 2-1 line emission of the extreme FIR-excess galaxy NGC 1377. We find bright, complex CO 2-1 line emission in the inner 400 pc of the galaxy. The CO 2-1 line has wings that are tracing a kinematical component which appears perpendicular to that of the line core. Together with an intriguing X-shape of the integrated intensity and dispersion maps, this suggests that the molecular emission of NGC 1377 consists of a disk-outflow system. Lower limits to the molecular mass and outflow rate are M_out(H2)>1e7 Msun and dM/dt>8 Msun/yr. The age of the proposed outflow is estimated to 1.4Myrs, the extent to 200pc and the outflow speed to 140 km/s. The total molecular mass in the SMA map is estimated to M_tot(H2)=1.5e8 Msun (on a scale of 400 pc) while in the inner r=29 pc the molecular mass is M_core(H2)=1.7e7 Msun with a corresponding H2 column density of N(H2)=3.4e23 cm-2 and an average CO 2-1 brightness temperature of 19K. Observing the molecular properties of the FIR-excess galaxy NGC 1377 allows us to probe the early stages of nuclear activity and the onset of feedback in active galaxies. The age of the outflow supports the notion that the current nuclear activity is young - a few Myrs. The outflow may be powered by radiation pressure from a compact, dust enshrouded nucleus, but other driving mechanisms are possible. The buried source may be an AGN or an extremely young (1Myr) compact starburst. Limitations on size and mass lead us to favour the AGN scenario, but further studies are required to settle the issue. In either case, the wind with its implied mass outflow rate will quench the nuclear power source within a very short time of 5-25 Myrs. It is however possible that the gas is unable to escape the galaxy and may eventually fall back onto NGC 1377 again.

description: In the past few years, calls for integrating ethics modules in engineering curricula have multiplied. Despite this positive trend, a number of issues with these embedded programs remains. First, learning goals are underspecified. A second limitation is the conflation of different dimensions under the same banner, in particular confusion between ethics curricula geared towards addressing the ethics of individual conduct and curricula geared towards addressing ethics at the societal level. In this article, we propose a tripartite framework to overcome these difficulties. Our framework analytically decomposes an ethics module into three dimensions. First, there is the ethical dimension, which pertains to the learning goals. Second, there is the moral dimension, which addresses the moral relevance of engineers conduct. Finally, there is the political dimension, which scales up issues of moral relevance at the civic level. All in all, our framework has two advantages. First, it provides analytic clarity, i.e. it enables course instructors to locate ethical dilemmas in either the moral or political realm and to make use of the tools and resources from moral and political philosophy. Second, it depicts a comprehensive ethical training, which enables students to both reason about moral issues in the abstract, and to socially contextualize potential solutions.

Outer Rotation Curve of the Galaxy with VERA I: Trigonometric parallax of IRAS 05168+3634

description: We report measurement of trigonometric parallax of IRAS 05168+3634 with VERA. The parallax is 0.532 +/- 0.053 mas, corresponding to a distance of 1.88+0.21/-0.17 kpc. This result is significantly smaller than the previous distance estimate of 6 kpc based on kinematic distance. This drastic change in the source distance revises not only physical parameters of IRAS 05168+3634, but also its location of the source, placing it in the Perseus arm rather than the Outer arm. We also measure proper motions of the source. A combination of the distance and the proper motions with systemic velocity yields rotation velocity (Θ) of 227+9/-11 km s-1 at the source, assuming Θ0 = 240 km s-1. Our result combined with previous VLBI results for six sources in the Perseus arm indicates that the sources rotate systematically slower than the Galactic rotation velocity at the LSR. In fact, we show observed disk peculiar motions averaged over the seven sources in the Perseus arm as (Umean, Vmean) = (11 +/- 3, -17 +/- 3) km s-1, indicating that these seven sources are systematically moving toward the Galactic center, and lag behind the Galactic rotation.

description: The (-β)-integers are natural generalisations of the β-integers, and thus of the integers, for negative real bases. They can be described by infinite words which are fixed points of anti-morphisms. We show that they are not necessarily uniformly discrete and relatively dense in the real numbers.

description: Networks of fast-spiking interneurons are crucial for the generation of neural oscillations in the brain. Here we study the synchronous behavior of interneuronal networks that are coupled by delayed inhibitory and fast electrical synapses. We find that both coupling modes play a crucial role by the synchronization of the network. In addition, delayed inhibitory synapses affect the emerging oscillatory patterns. By increasing the inhibitory synaptic delay, we observe a transition from regular to mixed oscillatory patterns at a critical value. We also examine how the unreliability of inhibitory synapses influences the emergence of synchronization and the oscillatory patterns. We find that low levels of reliability tend to destroy synchronization, and moreover, that interneuronal networks with long inhibitory synaptic delays require a minimal level of reliability for the mixed oscillatory pattern to be maintained.

description: The extension of the concept of generalized parton distributions leads to the introduction of baryon to meson transition distribution amplitudes (TDAs), non-diagonal matrix elements of the nonlocal three quark operator between a nucleon and a meson state. We present a general framework for modelling nucleon to pion ($πN$) TDAs. Our main tool is the spectral representation for πN TDAs in terms of quadruple distributions. We propose a factorized Ansatz for quadruple distributions with input from the soft-pion theorem for πN TDAs. The spectral representation is complemented with a D-term like contribution from the nucleon exchange in the cross channel. We then study backward pion electroproduction in the QCD collinear factorization approach in which the non-perturbative part of the amplitude involves πN TDAs. Within our two component model for πN TDAs we update previous leading-twist estimates of the unpolarized cross section. Finally, we compute the transverse target single spin asymmetry as a function of skewness. We find it to be sizable in the valence region and sensitive to the phenomenological input of our πN TDA model.

Native Bacillus licheniformis Protease
Creators: name: Clara, Lisa
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: A protease is an enzyme that helps proteolysis: protein catabolism by hydrolysis of peptide bonds. The native Bacillus licheniformis protease belongs to the serine endopeptidase subtilisin family, which breaks the peptide bond non-specifically under alkaline conditions. The enzyme is active in aqueous solutions and in some organic solvents such as dry octane. The protease is inactivated by serine active-site inhibitors, such as phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) and diisopropyl fluorophosphate.
Locating Pagkatao: Self-Reflexivity in Philippine LGBTQI History-Writing
Creators: name: Suarez, Kiel Ramos
Publisher: name: International Quarterly for Asian Studies
Year: 2023

description: At a time when a global pandemic has disrupted lives to a large extent across the globe, doing research has become ever more complex, challenging and uncertain. Such unexpected shifts in the dynamics of research, resulting in unpredictable consequences, have prompted the author to further reflect on his positionality as a researcher writing LGBTQI history. In this paper, the author joins scholars who propose self-reflexivity as both an analytical and ethical tool in understanding volatile research contexts. In gender and sexuality studies much has been written about the importance of self-reflexivity in understanding the impact of researchers’ social and epistemic locations in knowledge production. The paper argues that self-reflexive practice is especially important in studying the histories of gender and sexual identities in a multiply colonised society such as the Philippines. The author reflects on his own identity and its continuing impact on his research process. Through a decolonial lens, he uses the Filipino psychological concept of pagkatao and unpacks its multi-layered meanings as selfhood, humanness and human dignity – three crucial elements in writing the history of identities.

Critical Research Ethics as Decolonial Praxis
Creators: name: Castillo, Rosa Cordillera A.
name: Rubis, June
name: Pattathu, Antony George
Publisher: name: International Quarterly for Asian Studies
Year: 2023

description: In the comment “Critical Research Ethics as Decolonial Praxis” Rosa Cordillera A. Castillo emphasises the importance of critical research ethics in decolonial praxis within academia, highlighting the harmful effects of irresponsible and extractive scholarship that perpetuates epistemic violence and injustice by disregarding non-Western epistemologies, knowledge-makers, agency, and history. The author argues that confronting the embeddedness of knowledge production in imperial, colonial, and patriarchal ideologies, practices, and histories is crucial for engaging in a rehumanising and redistributive academic praxis. June Rubis continues the discussion, pointing out the limitations of superficial attempts to decolonise academic institutions, which often exclude Indigenous voices and fail to confront ongoing colonial violence. She suggests that a more meaningful decolonial project requires remaking relationships towards liberatory justice, including ethical collaboration and accountability with the communities researchers work with. Antony George Pattathu concludes that decolonial praxis and ethics must address colonial continuities and complicities and work towards preventing their perpetuation in research. He focusses on the roles of rehumanising and of Whiteness in decolonial praxis, critical research ethics, and the importance of the emotional dimension involved in decolonial debates.
