description: Downstream processing is a significant part of a production process and accounts for 50–90% of the production cost of biotechnological products. Post-fermentation localization of a microbial metabolite contributes significantly to the recovery cost of the product. Enterobacter cloacae produced naturally, acidic lipase with a 0.023:1 extracellular localization ratio. This research aimed to re-direct the localization of lipase to the extracellular milieu to reduce recovery costs using multi-objective response surface optimization (MO-RSM). The approach resulted in a 1:0.32 extracellular: intracellular lipase ratio, with product formation kinetics of Luedeking-Piret function showing a significant switch from a completely growth-associated intracellular production to a predominantly non-growth-associated extracellular localization. The enzyme was purified by an aqueous two-phase system which extracted 95.22% lipase with 72.36 purity. Characterization of the enzyme showed a molecular weight of 55.7 kDa, kcat of 68.59 s−1, and a Km of 0.63 mmol. Lipase activity occurred optimally at pH 2.5–3.5 and 50 °C, and was stable in most organic solvents tested. The acidic lipase demonstrated pH-dependent enantioselective esterification in resolving (R, S)-ibuprofen (E = 14, pH 4.5) and (R, S)-Naproxen (E = 13, pH 2.5), with an enantioselective preference for (S)-enantiomer in both drugs thus underpinning its potential for pharmaceutical applications.

description: We have performed an angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) study of the iron-based superconductor PrFeAsO_{0.7} and examined the Fermi surfaces and band dispersions near the Fermi level. Heavily hole-doped electronic states have been observed due to the polar nature of the cleaved surfaces. Nevertheless, we have found that the ARPES spectra basically agree with band dispersions calculated in the local density approximation (LDA) if the bandwidth is reduced by a factor of ~2.5 and then the chemical potential is lowered by ~70 meV. Comparison with previous ARPES results on LaFePO reveals that the energy positions of the d_{3z^2-r^2}- and d_{yz,zx}-derived bands are considerably different between the two materials, which we attribute to the different pnictogen height as predicted by the LDA calculation.

description: The study focused on determinants of participation in off-farm income generation ventures among smallholder farmers. Specifically, it examined socio-economic characteristics of the respondents; identified their level of diversification into other areas, determined the influence of some farmers’ factors on diversification; ascertain constraints to diversification and made recommendation based on the findings. To achieve these, multi-stage random techniques was employed to randomly select 60 farmers. Then a set of structural questionnaire was used to obtain primary information from the respondents. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multivariate logit regression. Results showed that mean age, household size, farm size, years in school and experience of the respondents were 39.15years, 7 persons, 1.6ha, 14.61years and 8.18years respectively. The respondents were mainly males (77.67%) and married (63.33%). They diversified mainly into petty trading (35%), artisanal job (45%), wage income (40%) and manufacturing and construction (15%). Some socio-economic and other factors such as age, education, gender, experience, household size, access to credit, membership of cooperative, access to electricity, potable water and good roads influenced participation in off- farm jobs. The major constraint (70%) of participation was inadequate finance. Farmers should be encouraged to form and join cooperative societies to enable them overcome the problem of inadequate finance which constrained participation. Also agricultural development institutions should be set up in rural areas which will promote access to farm credit.

Since different theoretical interpretations of these baryonic resonances, and in particular of the $Λ_c(2595)$, give different predictions, a precise experimental measurement of these decays would be an important step for understanding their nature.

description: Due to the failure of Birkhoff's theorem, black holes in f(R) gravity theories in which an effective time-varying cosmological "constant" is present are, in general, dynamical. Clifton's exact spherical solution of R^(1+δ) gravity, which is dynamical and describes a central object embedded in a spatially flat universe, is studied. It is shown that apparent black hole horizons disappear and a naked singularity emerges at late times.

Identifying the key innovative and collaborative strategies of integrated project delivery method to achieve owner goals in housing projects
Creators: name: Chudasma, Divyarajsinh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: The fragmented nature of tradition project delivery in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industry causes many inefficiencies and results in missed project goals and expectations. Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is new procurement method that has a potential to address these inefficiencies by overcoming traditional fragmentation and fostering collaboration through new contractual arrangements. As IPD is an emerging construction delivery method that is highly driven by the owner’s initiative, vision, and continuous involvement, there are very few IPD projects that focus on large-scale residential or multi-unit housing projects. This led to a finding that IPD implementation is not very common in housing projects and related case-studies are not widely available in Canada. In addition, there is a lack of information about key characteristics of IPD that facilitates success of the project. The focus of this research is to address a current research gap by developing and analyzing housing project case studies that implemented IPD principles or adopted formal IPD approaches. The overall objective of the research is to assess the implementation of key IPD principles on the housing projects and to identify the key innovative and collaborative strategies of IPD through case study analysis. To analyze IPD/IPD-like projects and to develop detailed case studies, a case study framework was developed for this study. The thesis documents four IPD/IPD-like Canadian housing projects, namely priMED Mosaic Centre, St. Jerome’s University Student Residence and Academic Centre, UBC Brock Commons, and Jacobson Hall at Trinity Western University. The case study for each project has been documented using the developed framework. The project case studies document project context, organizational setup, processes, technology implemented, and project outcomes in detailed. This research summarizes key features and lesson learned from the four case studies through cross-project analysis. The identified IPD-like innovative and collaborative strategies in this research can be considered for implementation in future housing projects to obtain better outcomes.

description: The theory of the drag effects in the system of spatially separated electrons and excitons in coupled quantum wells (QW) embedded in an optical microcavity is developed. It is shown that at low temperature an electron current induces the (normal component) polariton flow, therefore, a transport of photons along the cavity. However, the electron current dragged by the polariton flow is strongly suppressed below polariton superfluid transition temperature and hence, the strong suppression of the induced electron current indicates the superfluidity of polaritons. Therefore, the transport properties of polaritons can be investigated by measuring the current or voltage in the electron subsystem. At high temperatures we study the exciton-electron drag effects. At high temperatures regime, from one hand, the existence of the electric current in an electron QW induces the exciton flow in the other QW, from the other hand, the electron current in one QW induces the exciton flow in the other QW via the drag of excitons by the electrons. The drag coefficients for the polariton-electron systems are calculated and analyzed. We discuss the possible experimental observation of the drag effects in the system of electrons and microcavity polaritons, that also allow to observe the cavity polaritons superfluidity.

description: Paraoxonase 2 (PON2) is considered as a potential anti-biofilm agent due to the highest lactonase activity among the PON family members implicating quorum quenching in gram-negative bacteria. However, PON2 is expressed mostly in insoluble fractions in the bacterial expression host which limits its application as an anti-biofilm agent. Therefore, obtaining the native human PON2 (HuPON2) protein in soluble form, better protein yield, stability, and enzymatic activities is essential. In this study, procedures for obtaining a high yield of the native form of HuPON2 in soluble and active forms were optimized. Guanidinium hydrochloride solubilized the HuPON2 protein, however, it is lethal for several bacteria, and thus a major problem for studying the various downstream application of the protein. Therefore, another refolding process for native HuPON2 was optimized. Owing to the promiscuous nature of HuPON2, we hypothesized that it could inhibit the biofilm formation in Mycobacterium smegmatis also. Interestingly, we observed a significant inhibition of the biofilm formation by HuPON2_Rf. However, the primary target of HuPON2 and the probable mechanism behind the quorum quenching in M. smegmatis need to be further explored, which would help widen the scope of HuPON2 as a potential anti-biofilm agent beyond the gram-negative bacteria.

description: This exploratory study investigated nurse practitioners’ (NPs’) use of the Internet with regard to online health information available to adolescents. It assessed their knowledge of websites, whether they asked their adolescent patients about Internet resources, and if they knew how to ascertain appropriate websites. Participants in this project were practicing NPs who currently saw adolescents in their practice setting. Data were collected through survey methodology and analysis was done on 23 respondents. Study findings showed that most of the NPs surveyed had access to a computer and the Internet, were confident with technology, and were fairly knowledgeable about locating and judging Internet health information. They believed using technology would make their job easier and enhance the teaching time spent with adolescents. NPs did not routinely ask adolescents about websites, and the NPs who did refer teens to specific websites were more knowledgeable about workplace policies, searching out websites, and knowing specific websites. The top three responses regarding barriers to use in practice included time constraints, lack of adolescent access to a computer at worksite or home, and the adolescent’s unclear knowledge of information found online. The top two facilitators reported were the availability of having a computer, smartphone, and/or the provider’s willingness to improve the care to adolescents. The top three benefits of using health websites with adolescents were an increase in knowledge by using appropriate websites, a health awareness that may change behaviors, and the educating of peers and iv family members who also look at websites. The most frequently listed disadvantages included language/literacy differences and possible self-diagnosis. The perceptions of usefulness and ease of use of websites by NPs will lead to the integration of health websites into their current practice. The comfort and knowledge of appropriate websites to refer adolescents to are essential in the NP’s successful use in practice. It is important to recognize the need for health education websites as a routine part of an adolescent’s visit to the NP. It is also practical to devise a tool to assist a nurse practitioner in locating, evaluating, and referring adolescents to appropriate websites.

description: Detection of relic gravitational waves, through their imprint in the cosmic microwave background radiation, is one of the most important tasks for the planned CMBPol mission. In the simplest viable theoretical models the gravitational wave background is characterized by two parameters, the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ and the tensor spectral index $n_t$. In this paper, we analyze the potential joint constraints on these two parameters, $r$ and $n_t$, using the potential observations of the CMBPol mission, which is expected to detect the relic gravitational waves if $r\gtrsim0.001$. The influence of the contaminations, including cosmic weak lensing, various foreground emissions, and systematical errors, is discussed.

description: Negative Emotionen im Kontext bürokratischer Formalitäten sind ein Phänomen, welches in der Sozialen Arbeit allgegenwärtig ist. Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit geht dabei der Frage nach, wie die Bewältigung negativer Emotionen in der Beratungsarbeit gefördert werden kann. Dabei hat diese Bachelorarbeit im Schwerpunkt die Adressaten*innen der Sozialen Arbeit und ihre Bewältigungskompetenz. Die Auseinandersetzung mit der Beratungsarbeit, wurde nach einem Beratungsmodell von Ralf Albrecht strukturiert. Das Modell thematisiert die drei wesentlichsten Beratungskompetenzen Beratungshaltung, Fachwissen und Methoden. Entlang dieser Kompetenzen werden die wesentlichsten Aspekte für die Beratungsarbeit zum ausgewählten Thema dieser Bachelorarbeit herausgearbeitet. Bezogen auf die Beratungsarbeit mit dem Thema haben sich zwei zentrale Erkenntnisse herausgestellt: Zum einen bewegt sich die Soziale Arbeit in einem Spannungsfeld zwischen Ermächtigung ihrer Adressaten*innen sowie deren Kontrolle aufgrund des ersten Mandates. Zum anderen muss für die Beratungsarbeit zum Thema, Beratungshaltung im Sinne von Empowerment, Lebensweltorientierte Arbeit als theoretisches Fachwissen und das Rubikon-Modell als Methode eingesetzt werden. Für die Beratungsarbeit bedeuten die Erkenntnisse folgendes: Die Soziale Arbeit kann das Spannungsfeld nicht auflösen, aber durch Ermächtigung ihrer Adressaten*innen kann sie es reduzieren. Mit dem spezifischen Ensemble des Kompetenztrias lässt sich die Bewältigung der Adressaten*innen in der Bratungsarbeit fördern.

description: We investigate the model of "reversible ratchet" with interacting particles, introduced by us earlier [Europhys. Lett. 84, 50009 (2008)]. We further clarify the effect of efficiency enhancement due to interaction and show that it is of energetic origin, rather than a consequence of reduced fluctuations. We also show complicated structures emerging in the interaction and density dependence of the current and response function. The fluctuation properties of the work and input energy indicate in detail the far-from-equilibrium nature of the dynamics.

description: Cygnus X-1 was the first X-ray source widely accepted to be a black hole candidate and remains among the most studied astronomical objects in its class. The detection of non-thermal radio, hard X-rays and gamma rays reveals the fact that this kind of objects are capable of accelerating particles up to very high energies. In order to explain the electromagnetic emission from Cygnus X-1 in the low-hard state we present a model of a black hole corona with both relativistic lepton and hadron content. We characterize the corona as a two-temperature hot plasma plus a mixed non-thermal population in which energetic particles interact with magnetic, photon and matter fields. Our calculations include the radiation emitted by secondary particles (pions, muons and electron/positron pairs). Finally, we take into account the effects of photon absorption. We compare the results obtained from our model with data of Cygnus X-1 obtained by the COMPTEL instrument.

description: The electronic structure in the vicinity of the 1-heptagonal and 1-pentagonal defects in the carbon graphene plane is investigated. Using a continuum gauge field-theory model the local density of states around the Fermi energy is calculated for both cases. In this model, the disclination is represented by an SO(2) gauge vortex and corresponding metric follows from the elasticity properties of the graphene membrane. To enhance the interval of energies, a self-consistent perturbation scheme is used. The Landau states are investigated and compared with the predicted values.

description: Die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Eltern und Schule ist für den Bildungserfolg des Kindes unverzichtbar. Trotz dieses Wissens sind die Bemühungen der Schulen nach wie vor gering. Die vorliegende Bachelor-Arbeit soll klären, inwiefern die Soziale Arbeit in der Schule die Zusammenarbeit mit den Eltern gestalten, respektive unterstützen kann, um dabei alle Eltern zu erreichen. Durch die Literaturrecherche wurde deutlich, dass für eine erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit zwischen Eltern und Fachpersonen Bemühungen von beiden Seiten nötig sind. Als Zusammenarbeit zwischen Eltern und Schule ist jegliche Form der Kooperation und Kommunikation untereinander gemeint. Forschungen haben belegt, dass die Zusammenarbeit besonders dann gelingt, wenn ein Konzept vorhanden ist. Dieses Konzept soll einerseits zur Orientierung und Strukturierung der Zusammenarbeit dienen, aber immer auch eine gewisse Flexibilität gewährleisten, um auf die individuellen Familiensysteme eingehen zu können. Die Soziale Arbeit kann als Übersetzungsinstanz zwischen den Systemen Familie und Schule dienen und so Konflikte und Herausforderungen vorbeugen. Weiter kann die Soziale Arbeit Veränderungen an den Schulen voranbringen, welche dazu führen, die momentane Form der Zusammenarbeit zu reflektieren und gegebenenfalls zu konzeptualisieren.

Responding, asking, and reacting : the secondary communication activities in social network sites
Creators: name: Papania, Francesco Daniele
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Over two billion people use Facebook, the world’s largest social network site (SNS). Most SNS communication research to date focuses on primary communication (disclosure) within a SNS (e.g. Dinev and Hart 2006; Krasnova 2010, 2012; Norberg 2009; Pavlou 2011; Smith et al. 2011). I extend SNS communication research by examining secondary communication (asking, reacting, and responding). I extend the APCO (antecedents, privacy, outcomes) model (Smith et al. 2011) to ABCO (antecedents, costs, benefits, outcomes). I develop and test three models to explain, and gain insights about, secondary communication in SNSs. In study 1, I examine how feedback (likes and views) affects a SNS users intentions to disclose information in the future. My findings show that when a user receives positive feedback (likes) it affects his benefits more, whereas neutral feedback (views) affects his privacy concerns more; however, these effects are moderated significantly by audience closeness and information sensitivity. I proposed that a viewership feedback tool could increase transparency and help users to make more informed disclosure decisions, and reify the invisible audience (Bernstein et al. 2013). In study 2, I develop and test a model of SNS solicitation (asking for information or support) as social capital conversion. My results confirm that larger networks lead to larger perceived social capital but perceptions of social capital are not always predictive of information and support seeking intentions. Predicting mobilization requires a deeper understanding of how user traits and preferences lead to network formation and how user perceptions of privacy and impression management enable or disrupt conversion of social capital through mobilization intentions. I identity four solicitation archetypes based on network size/value, and solicitation intentions: the concerned user, the power user, the occasional user, and the habituated user. In study 3, I adopt social exchange theory (Emerson 1976) to show that when providing feedback to others, SNS users’ impression-management benefits are more important than privacy concerns, and—surprisingly—that providing anonymity inhibits providing feedback by lowering the impression-management benefits.

description: We explore the use of templated self-assembly to facilitate the formation of complex target structures made from patchy particles. First, we consider the templating of high-symmetry shell structures around a spherical core particle. We find that nucleation around the core particle can inhibit aggregate formation, a process which often hinders self-assembly. In particular, this new assembly pathway allows dodecahedral shells to form readily, whereas these structures never form in the absence of the template. Secondly, we consider the self-assembly of multi-shell structures, where the central icosahedral core is known to form readily on its own, and which could then template the growth of further layers. We are able to find conditions under which two- and three-shell structures successfully assemble, illustrating the power of the templating approach.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Paramagnetism of gluons is shown to play the basic role in establishing main properties of QCD: IR freezing and asymptotic freedom (AF). Starting with Polyakov background field approach the first terms of background perturbation theory are calculated and shown to ensure not only the classical result of AF but also IR freezing. For the latter only the confining property of the background is needed, and the effective mass entering the IR freezing logarithms is calculated in good agreement with phenomenology and lattice data.

description: We compute the electrostatic potential at the surface, or zeta potential $ζ$, of a charged particle embedded in a colloidal suspension using a hybrid mesoscopic model. We show that for weakly perturbing electric fields, the value of $ζ$ obtained at steady state during electrophoresis is statistically indistinguishable from $ζ$ in thermodynamic equilibrium. We quantify the effect of counterions concentration on $ζ$. We also evaluate the relevance of the lattice resolution for the calculation of $ζ$ and discuss how to identify the effective electrostatic radius.

description: Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) allow for detecting malicious activities in organizational networks and hosts. As the Industrial Internet of Things (Industrial IoT) has gained momentum and attackers become process-aware, it elevates the focus on anomaly-based Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) in IoT. While previous research has primarily concentrated on fortifying SCADA systems with NIDS, keeping track of the latest advancements in resource-efficient messaging (e.g., MQTT, CoAP, and OPC-UA) is paramount. In our work, we straightforwardly derive IoT processes for NIDS using distributed tracing and process mining. We introduce a pioneering framework called MISSION which effectively captures, consolidates, and models MQTT flows, leading to a heightened process awareness in NIDS. Through our prototypical implementation, we demonstrate exceptional performance and high-quality models. Moreover, our experiments provide empirical evidence for rediscovering pre-defined processes and successfully detecting two distinct MQTT attacks in a simulated IoT network.

Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy on Human Blood

description: Dielectric spectra of human blood reveal a rich variety of dynamic processes. Achieving a better characterization and understanding of these processes not only is of academic interest but also of high relevance for medical applications as, e.g., the determination of absorption rates of electromagnetic radiation by the human body. The dielectric properties of human blood are studied using broadband dielectric spectroscopy, systematically investigating the dependence on temperature and hematocrit value. By covering a frequency range from 1 Hz to 40 GHz, information on all the typical dispersion regions of biological matter is obtained. We find no evidence for a low-frequency relaxation (alpha-relaxation) caused, e.g., by counterion diffusion effects as reported for some types of biological matter. The analysis of a strong Maxwell-Wagner relaxation arising from the polarization of the cell membranes in the 1-100 MHz region (beta-relaxation) allows for the test of model predictions and the determination of various intrinsic cell properties. In the microwave region beyond 1 GHz, the reorientational motion of water molecules in the blood plasma leads to another relaxation feature (gamma-relaxation). Between beta- and gamma-relaxation, significant dispersion is observed, which, however, can be explained by a superposition of these relaxation processes and is not due to an additional delta-relaxation often found in biological matter. Our measurements provide dielectric data on human blood of so far unsurpassed precision for a broad parameter range. All data are provided in electronic form to serve as basis for the calculation of the absorption rate of electromagnetic radiation and other medical purposes. Moreover, by investigating an exceptionally broad frequency range, valuable new information on the dynamic processes in blood is obtained.

Precise measurement of rare pion decay
Creators: name: Cuen-Rochin, Saul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: The PIENU experiment at TRIUMF aims to measure the pion decay branching ratio, defined as the relative rate of decay of pions into electrons over muons including associated neutrinos and radiative components (denoted R_π) to a precision level of O(0.1%). This Standard Model (SM) observable provides a sensitive test of lepton universality, where weak coupling strengths are assumed to be equal for all leptons (g=g_e=g_μ= g_τ). Comparing the measured experimental (R_π^exp) and calculated SM (R_π^SM) ratios, the ratio of the coupling constants can be extracted and compared with the SM expectation g_e/g_μ=1 as follows g_e /g_μ = (R_π^exp/R^π^SM )¹/². The current theoretical calculation of the SM prediction R_π^SM=1.2352±0.0002)×10-⁴ with a precision of 0.016% is more precise than the measurements of previous generation experiments by a factor of 30; thus, there is scope for significant improvement. If the measurement is consistent with the SM, new constraints could be set on new physics scenarios for SM extensions, such as R-parity-violating super-symmetry, leptoquarks, and heavy neutrinos lighter than the pion. Most remarkably, a deviation from the SM could result from a new pseudo-scalar interaction with an energy scale of up to O(1000TeV) which would enhance the branching ratio by O(0.1%). In some instances, these constraints can far exceed the reach of direct searches at colliders. Between 2009 and 2012 around 6.5 million π+→e+ν_e events were gathered. The analysis of a subset of the 2010 data with 0.4 million events was published in 2015, giving R_π^exp=(1.2344±0.0023(stat.)±0.0019(syst.))×10-⁴, with a precision of 0.24%. This is in agreement with the SM, representing a 0.12% measurement of lepton universality at g_e/g_μ=0.9996±0.0012. The analysis presented in this thesis is blinded but includes the highest quality data portion available, around 3 million π⁺→e⁺ν_e events. For this work, major experimental systematic problems have been solved allowing for increased precision up to 0.12% for R_π^exp and up to 0.06% for lepton universality.
MSTN (Myostatin) Gene: An overlooked target for gene therapy?
Creators: name: Buss, George
Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited
Year: 2020

description: Myostatin is made of three exons and two introns and has been shown to be the major regulator of skeletal muscular development. Whilst it’s mechanism of action is still widely unknown there is strong evidence to suggest that it inhibits Akt (Kinase B) activity – a major determinant in the syntheses of muscle proteins and hypertrophy control. MSTN is expressed throughout different muscle types in the body it has been identified to be mainly expressed in skeletal muscle. Pan troglodytes (Chimpanzees) our closest living relative, have been shown to have a strength 1.5x greater than humans. In terms of muscle fibre make-up Chimpanzees muscles consist of two thirds fast twitch fibres and one third slow twitch – this is the opposite of humans who have two thirds slow twitch fibres and one third fast twitch. Oryctolagus coniculus, the common ancestor of Homo sapiens and Pan Troglodytes, have 90% fast twitch fibers. My BLAST comparison showed that Pan troglodytes and Oryctolagus coniculus have a much shorter MSTN gene length in comparison to humans. With the role of MSTN in terms of muscle fibre differentiation being still somewhat a mystery, this bioinformatics study prompts the question: is Myostatin gene length proportional to muscle fibre differentiation? And if that is the case, then are we missing an important piece of the puzzle when it comes to genetic therapies targeted at the treatment of muscular wasting diseases such as Muscular Dystrophy?
The Mount Wilson Ca II K index

description: It is well established that both total and spectral solar irradiance are modulated by variable magnetic activity on the solar surface. However, there is still disagreement about the contribution of individual solar features for changes in the solar output, in particular over decadal time scales. Ionized Ca II K line spectroheliograms are one of the major resources for these long-term trend studies, mainly because such measurements have been available now for more than 100 years. In this paper we introduce a new Ca II K plage and active network index time series derived from the digitization of almost 40,000 photographic solar images that were obtained at the 60-foot solar tower, between 1915 and 1985, as a part of the monitoring program of the Mount Wilson Observatory. We describe here the procedure we applied to calibrate the images and the properties of our new defined index, which is strongly correlated to the average fractional area of the visible solar disk occupied by plages and active network. We show that the long-term variation of this index is in an excellent agreement with the 11-year solar cycle trend determined from the annual international sunspot numbers series. Our time series agrees also very well with similar indicators derived from a different reduction of the same data base and other \caii K spectroheliograms long-term synoptic programs, such as those at Kodaikanal Observatory (India), and at the National Solar Observatory at Sacramento Peak (USA). Finally, we show that using appropriate proxies it is possible to extend this time series up to date, making this data set one of the longest Ca II K index series currently available.
