description: Dieser Konferenzbeitrag stellt das Forschungsprojekt H2mGT – Verbrennung von Wasserstoff in KWK Mikrogasturbinen vor, in dem ein Wasserstoffbrenner für eine Mikrogasturbine mit 130 kW thermischer Leistung entwickelt wird. Der Drall-stabilisierte Vormischbrenner wird zunächst im Labor unter atmosphärischen Bedingungen untersucht. Er verfügt über geometrische Parameter, deren Einflüsse auf die Flammenform, Flammenstabilität und Emissionen im Paper diskutiert werden. Anschließend werden die Ergebnisse der Tests mit Quarzglasbrennkammer mit einem maschinennahen Setup mit Sekundärluft verglichen. Die geometrischen Parameter zeigen dabei große Auswirkungen auf die Luftverteilung, was wiederum Einfluss auf die Emissionen hat und so zu gegenläufigen Trends zwischen beiden Setups führt. Dies muss bei der Optimierung des Brenners im Labor beachtet werden.

Ecological risk assessment of tire and road wear particles : a preliminary screening for freshwater sources in Canada
Creators: name: McCarty, Kevin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Approximately 1.5 billion tires/year are produced worldwide. Tire tread wear particles due to road abrasion are a major source of environmental microplastic pollution and 5.9 million tonnes/year of tire and road wear particles (TRWP) are emitted globally. Twelve to twenty percent of TRWP are transmitted into surface waters, where they can leach (i.e., release) chemical compounds that can adversely affect aquatic species. The primary objective of this study was to assess the acute, freshwater ecological risk of TRWP emissions. A conceptual ecological risk assessment (ERA) model was developed using ERA frameworks. The model was applied to Kalamalka Lake with respect to British Columbia (BC) Highway 97 (HWY-97) in Western Canada. This was the first ERA of TRWP in Canada and the results and methodology will provide a foundation for future research. This was a screening-level, conceptual ERA, based on secondary data from published scientific studies. Two spatial scenarios were assessed. Spatial scenario 1 assumed annual TRWP emissions from 20 km of HWY-97 equilibrate across the entire lake volume. Spatial scenario 2 assumed TRWP emission from a single storm drain microcatchment (0.875 km of HWY-97) equilibrated adjacent to the shoreline in a smaller water volume in the short-term. For both scenarios, TRWP-derived chemical leachates considered for ERA were aniline, anthracene (ANT), benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P), fluoranthene (Fl), mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT), and zinc (Zn). An assumed ‘total TRWP-derived leachate set’ was also assessed, based on data representing all compounds present in tire-derived leachate solution tests. The results indicated a potential risk to aquatic species in both spatial scenarios, depending on the contaminant of concern. In Scenario 1, ecotoxicity risk was high from exposure to zinc and the total TRWP-derived leachate set. Scenario 2 results indicated acute risk was high from all TRWP-derived chemicals examined, except MBT. This preliminary screening of ecological risk provides an early signal that freshwater lakes adjacent to busy highways may be at risk from TRWP contamination, demonstrating a need for further research and additional data to verify the results.
Prediction and mechanisms of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity : role of RARG and cardioprotective effects of SGLT2 inhibitor
Creators: name: Huang, Haojun
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Doxorubicin is a commonly used chemotherapy drug that treats both adult and childhood cancers, but its clinical usefulness is limited by doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). The incidence of DIC increases up to 65% at cumulative doses of 550 mg/m², which leads to irreversible heart failure and death. Since some patients suffer from DIC even at low doses, genetic differences may account for some of the inter-individual variability in risk for DIC and several associated genetic variants have been identified. Among these variants, RARG-S427L is one of the top variants that shows strong evidence of association with DIC. Sodium-glucose transport protein 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are effective glucose-lowering medications that are indicated for type 2 diabetes mellitus treatment. SGLT2i have also been demonstrated to be cardioprotective for heart failure. We still lack ways to predict and prevent DIC. The goal of this dissertation is to investigate the impacts and mechanism of RARG-S427L variant in DIC and the potential cardioprotective effects of SGLT2i against DIC. I hypothesized that RARG-S427L increases the risk of DIC and the SGLT2i (empagliflozin) protects against DIC. To conduct this work, I developed a patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) model of DIC and used this to show that RARG-S427L increases susceptibility to DIC by orchestrating a DNA repair response to doxorubicin. Furthermore, co-treatment with empagliflozin reduced doxorubicin-induced cell death and up-regulated fatty acid metabolism-related gene expression. In summary, our findings reveal the roles of RARG-S427L in transcriptional response to doxorubicin in cardiomyocytes and identify empagliflozin as a potential cardioprotective agent against DIC, with implications for personalized risk prediction and the potential usage of empagliflozin to prevent this adverse drug reaction.

description: Our subjective wellbeing is a mix of our personal and community wellbeing. One indication of their close relationship is the strong negative correlation between our own subjective wellbeing and the degree of subjective wellbeing inequality within our community. This negative relationship reflects our innate and socialized inequality aversion and holds regardless of whether the group is large as in the case of countries or small in the case of local neighbourhoods. While the country case has been well documented in the subjective wellbeing literature, the relationship between the local community distribution of subjective wellbeing and individual subjective wellbeing has received little attention. In this paper we demonstrate the sensitivity of individual life satisfaction to the distribution of life satisfaction within electoral wards in urban New Zealand and explore several possible behavioural drivers. We find that having social support and feeling a sense of community both reduce the negative effects of local subjective wellbeing inequality, while being less socially engaged exaggerates them. Our results highlight the potential that programmes aimed at reducing wellbeing inequalities within local communities might play in raising individual as well as average wellbeing.

The tangent complex and Hochschild cohomology of E_n-rings

description: In this work, we study the deformation theory of $\cE_n$-rings and the $\cE_n$ analogue of the tangent complex, or topological André-Quillen cohomology. We prove a generalization of a conjecture of Kontsevich, that there is a fiber sequence $A[n-1] \ra T_A\ra \hh^*_{\cE_{n}}(A)[n]$, relating the $\cE_n$-tangent complex and $\cE_n$-Hochschild cohomology of an $\cE_n$-ring $A$. We give two proofs: The first is direct, reducing the problem to certain stable splittings of configuration spaces of punctured Euclidean spaces; the second is more conceptual, where we identify the sequence as the Lie algebras of a fiber sequence of derived algebraic groups, $B^{n-1}A^\times\ra \Aut_A\ra \Aut_{\fB^nA}$. Here $\fB^nA$ is an enriched $(\oo,n)$-category constructed from $A$, and $\cE_n$-Hochschild cohomology is realized as the infinitesimal automorphisms of $\fB^nA$. These groups are associated to moduli problems in $\cE_{n+1}$-geometry, a {\it less} commutative form of derived algebraic geometry, in the sense of Toën-Vezzosi and Lurie. Applying techniques of Koszul duality, this sequence consequently attains a nonunital $\cE_{n+1}$-algebra structure; in particular, the shifted tangent complex $T_A[-n]$ is a nonunital $\cE_{n+1}$-algebra. The $\cE_{n+1}$-algebra structure of this sequence extends the previously known $\cE_{n+1}$-algebra structure on $\hh^*_{\cE_{n}}(A)$, given in the higher Deligne conjecture. In order to establish this moduli-theoretic interpretation, we make extensive use of factorization homology, a homology theory for framed $n$-manifolds with coefficients given by $\cE_n$-algebras, constructed as a topological analogue of Beilinson-Drinfeld's chiral homology. We give a separate exposition of this theory, developing the necessary results used in our proofs. This work is an elaboration of a chapter of the author's 2008 PhD thesis, \cite{thez}.

Loneliness: an overview

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: As humans, we possess a fundamental need to belong. Loneliness is our personal recognition that the quality of social and emotional contact we have with others is not sufficiently fulfilling and meaningful enough to meet our needs. Loneliness can be temporary or chronic, simply present or intensely disturbing and can manifest in a number of conditions both physical and psychological. At the same time, social contact and loneliness can be relatively independent of each other, reminding us that loneliness is not a condition measurable by the number of social contacts but by their nature and our perception of them.

description: One of us has recently elaborated a theory for modelling concepts that uses the state context property (SCoP) formalism, i.e. a generalization of the quantum formalism. This formalism incorporates context into the mathematical structure used to represent a concept, and thereby models how context influences the typicality of a single exemplar and the applicability of a single property of a concept, which provides a solution of the 'Pet-Fish problem' and other difficulties occurring in concept theory. Then, a quantum model has been worked out which reproduces the membership weights of several exemplars of concepts and their combinations. We show in this paper that a further relevant effect appears in a natural way whenever two or more concepts combine, namely, 'entanglement'. The presence of entanglement is explicitly revealed by considering a specific example with two concepts, constructing some Bell's inequalities for this example, testing them in a real experiment with test subjects, and finally proving that Bell's inequalities are violated in this case. We show that the intrinsic and unavoidable character of entanglement can be explained in terms of the weights of the exemplars of the combined concept with respect to the weights of the exemplars of the component concepts.

description: Human values, subjective well-being and the metropolitan region. Regional Studies. Living in a country’s largest metropolitan centre has a negative effect on subjective well-being. Although documented in many developed economies, the reasons for this particular geography of well-being are still poorly understood. Meanwhile a separate body of research has shown that the holding of extrinsic or personally focused values is also associated with lower levels of subjective well-being. This paper demonstrates the link between the two. It draws on the European Social Survey (ESS) 2012 to show how metropolitan residents in Finland are more likely to hold extrinsic values such as power and achievement.

We prove that Psi-classes and vital divisors are irreducible, and that locally irreducible divisors are also globally irreducible for n \leq 6. In the second part of the paper, we show that the locus of point configurations in (\R^2)^n in special position for counting rational plane curves (defined in two different ways) can be given the structure a tropical cycle of codimension 1. In addition, we compute explicitly the weights of this cycle.

description: In this paper, we introduce a groundbreaking end-to-end (E2E) framework for decoding invasive brain signals, marking a significant advancement in the field of speech neuroprosthesis. Our methodology leverages the comprehensive reasoning abilities of large language models (LLMs) to facilitate direct decoding. By fully integrating LLMs, we achieve results comparable to the state-of-the-art cascade models. Our findings underscore the immense potential of E2E frameworks in speech neuroprosthesis, particularly as the technology behind brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and the availability of relevant datasets continue to evolve. This work not only showcases the efficacy of combining LLMs with E2E decoding for enhancing speech neuroprosthesis but also sets a new direction for future research in BCI applications, underscoring the impact of LLMs in decoding complex neural signals for communication restoration.

description: Let $M$ be a flat manifold. We say that $M$ has $R_\infty$ property if the Reidemeister number $R(f) = \infty$ for every homeomorphism $f \colon M \to M.$ In this paper, we investigate a relation between the holonomy representation $ρ$ of a flat manifold $M$ and the $R_\infty$ property. In case when the holonomy group of $M$ is solvable we show that, if $ρ$ has a unique $\mathbb{R}$-irreducible subrepresentation of odd degree, then $M$ has $R_\infty$ property. The result is related to conjecture 4.8 from [1]. [1] K. Dekimpe, B. De Rock, P. Penninckx, \emph{The $R_{\infty}$ property for infra-nilmanifolds}, Topol.

description: We investigate the formation of condensates in a binary lattice gas in the presence of chiral interactions. These interactions differ between a given microscopic configuration and its mirror image. We consider a two dimensional lattice gas with nearest-neighbour interactions to which we add interactions involving favoured local structures that are chiral. We focus on favoured local structures that have the shape of the letter L and explore condensate formation through simulations and analytical calculations. At low temperature, this model can exhibit four different phases that are characterised by different periodic tiling patterns, depending on the strength of interactions and the chemical potential. When particle numbers are conserved, some of these phases can coexist. We analyse the structure and surface tension of interfaces between coexisting phases and determine the condensate shapes of minimal free energy. We show that these shapes can be quadrilaterals or octagons of different orientation and symmetry.

description: In this paper we introduce broccoli curves, certain plane tropical curves of genus zero related to real algebraic curves. The numbers of these broccoli curves through given points are independent of the chosen points - for arbitrary choices of the directions of the ends of the curves, possibly with higher weights, and also if some of the ends are fixed. In the toric Del Pezzo case we show that these broccoli invariants are equal to the Welschinger invariants (with real and complex conjugate point conditions), thus providing a proof of the independence of Welschinger invariants of the point conditions within tropical geometry. The general case gives rise to a tropical Caporaso-Harris formula for broccoli curves which suffices to compute all Welschinger invariants of the plane.

Framework of modular contract clauses for HRICs
Creators: name: Adrian Thorogood
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: This deliverable provides a list of modular contractual clauses that can be integrated into data
sharing agreements that support the implementation of a Healthy Research and Innovation
Cloud (HRIC) in the EU. The document reviews common clauses found in the following
categories of data sharing agreements:
1. Data Access Agreements (between Data Providers/Data Hubs and Data Users,
where access to data is granted for research purposes),
2. Data Submission Agreements (between Data Providers and Data Hubs where
data are submitted to a Data Hub to be curated and stored to facilitate access by
prospective Data Users),
3. Data Hosting Agreements (between Data Providers and Data Hubs, outlining
conditions and processes of data access), and
4. Data Analysis Agreements (between Data Users and Data Hubs which provide
a Secure Processing Environment for the analysis of data).
The focus of this document is on addressing data protection requirements. This requires
assumptions to be made about the context in which these agreements are used, as well as the
resulting GDPR roles and relationships. The deliverable outlines the GDPR sub-components
of these agreements depending on the applicable relationships (e.g., GDPR data processing
agreements, joint controller agreements, data transfer agreements), and outlines the clauses
commonly needed in these agreements to satisfy GDPR compliance. For Data Access
Agreements specifically, a broader set of common clauses are described relating to
intellectual property rights (IPR), publication policies etc. .
The primary aim of this deliverable is to provide a checklist of clauses for data sharing
agreements in an HRIC. This will assist drafters with ensuring agreements cover essential
matters. Use of this deliverable can also support greater standardization of the content of such
agreements, which can improve the consistency of clauses, reduce time spent drafting and
negotiating agreements, as well as increase the connectability of resources. The clauses are
not intended, however, to be standard or harmonized agreement templates, as drafters retain
the flexibility to include (or not) certain clauses suitable to their context, or to select between
different options relating to a particular theme.

description: Background Studies of internal migration ask who moves, why they move, and what are the consequences - to themselves, their origin, and their destination. By contrast, studies of those who stay for very long durations are less common, despite the fact that most people move relatively infrequently. Objective We argue that staying is the dominant, preferred state and that moving is simply an adjustment toward a desired state of stability (or equilibrium). The core of our argument, already recognized in the literature, is that migration is risky. However, we extend the argument to loss aversion as developed within prospect theory. Prospect theory posits that existing possessions, including the dwelling and existing commodities, are attributed a value well beyond their purchase price and that this extends the average period of staying among the loss-averse. MethodS Applying prospect theory has several challenges, including measurement of the reference point and potential degrees of gain and loss households face in deciding to change residence, as well as their own degree of loss aversion. The growing number of large panel sets should make it possible to estimate the degree to which endowment effects are likely to extend durations of residence as predicted by prospect theory. Conclusions Rational expectations models of mobility focus on the changes in the level of consumption of residential services. By contrast, prospect theory focuses on potential gains and losses relative to the existing dwelling - the reference point. As we confront increasing durations of residence in contemporary society, an application of prospect theory is likely to yield important advantages over existing models of mobility and staying.
The dispossession(s) of law : Indigenous peoples, Canada, and articulated jurisdictions
Creators: name: Fabris, Michael Paul Christoph
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: In this dissertation, I seek to answer: what are the limits to attempts by Indigenous peoples to articulate our own forms of law through the languages and institutions of settler law? I answer this question through a set of distinct but related case studies: the making of Treaty 7, Piikani challenges to the Oldman River Dam, and the theorization of Urban Indigeneity in Canadian cities. Building on existing works within Indigenous geographies, legal geography, and Indigenous legal studies, this dissertation explores how Indigenous law is operationalized in the face of past and present attempts at erasure on the part of the Canadian state. I thus seek to answer: what are the limits of decolonial manifestations of Indigenous law when expressed through Canadian and other settler forms of law? To do this, I draw from both contemporary discussions concerning Marx’s theory of primitive accumulation and the related ‘articulation’ debates of the 1970s. Instead of articulation between modes of production, however, I explore the relevance of these analytical tools to examine relationships between Indigenous and settler legal orders. I argue: In struggles against the capitalist reterritorialization of Indigenous places, it is through the assertions of competing legal jurisdictions that these struggles tend to find their most profound expression. Indigenous legal orders thus tend to exist in a complex unity with settler forms of law, whereby we often attempt to express our own laws through the language, institutions, and other forms of settler colonial law.

description: This paper studies the kernelization complexity of graph coloring problems with respect to certain structural parameterizations of the input instances. We are interested in how well polynomial-time data reduction can provably shrink instances of coloring problems, in terms of the chosen parameter. It is well known that deciding 3-colorability is already NP-complete, hence parameterizing by the requested number of colors is not fruitful. Instead, we pick up on a research thread initiated by Cai (DAM, 2003) who studied coloring problems parameterized by the modification distance of the input graph to a graph class on which coloring is polynomial-time solvable; for example parameterizing by the number k of vertex-deletions needed to make the graph chordal. We obtain various upper and lower bounds for kernels of such parameterizations of q-Coloring, complementing Cai's study of the time complexity with respect to these parameters. Our results show that the existence of polynomial kernels for q-Coloring parameterized by the vertex-deletion distance to a graph class F is strongly related to the existence of a function f(q) which bounds the number of vertices which are needed to preserve the NO-answer to an instance of q-List-Coloring on F.

description: This paper examines the nature of classical correspondence in the case of coherent states at the level of quantum trajectories. We first show that for a harmonic oscillator, the coherent state complex quantum trajectories and the complex classical trajectories are identical to each other. This congruence in the complex plane, not restricted to high quantum numbers alone, illustrates that the harmonic oscillator in a coherent state executes classical motion. The quantum trajectories are those conceived in a modified de Broglie-Bohm scheme and we note that identical classical and quantum trajectories for coherent states are obtained only in the present approach. The study is extended to Gazeau-Klauder and SUSY quantum mechanics-based coherent states of a particle in an infinite potential well and that in a symmetric Poschl-Teller (PT) potential by solving for the trajectories numerically. For the coherent state of the infinite potential well, almost identical classical and quantum trajectories are obtained whereas for the PT potential, though classical trajectories are not regained, a periodic motion results as t --> \infty.

Comparing extragalactic megahertz-peaked spectrum and gigahertz-peaked spectrum sources

description: Recent sensitive wide-field radio surveys, such as the LOFAR Two Meter Sky Survey (LoTSS), the LOFAR LBA Sky Survey (LoLSS), and the Very Large Array Sky Survey (VLASS), enable the selection of statistically large samples of peaked-spectrum (PS) sources. PS sources are radio sources that have a peak in their radio continuum spectrum and are observed to be compact. They are often considered to be the precursors to large radio galaxies. We present a sample of 8,032 gigahertz-peaked spectrum (GPS) sources with spectral turnovers near 1400 MHz, and a sample of 506 megahertz-peaked spectrum (MPS) sources with turnovers near 144 MHz. Our GPS sample is over five times larger than any previously known sample of PS sources. These large sample sizes allow us to make a robust comparison between GPS sources and MPS sources, such that we can investigate the differences between these types of sources, and study their lifetimes. The shape of the source counts of both samples match that of the general radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGN) samples, scaled down by a factor 44 $\pm$ 2 for the MPS sample, and a factor 28 $\pm$ 1 for the GPS sample. Assuming no cosmological evolution, these offsets imply that both MPS and GPS sources have shorter duration than general radio-loud AGN, with MPS sources having an $\approx$1.6 times shorter lifespan than GPS sources. The shorter duration of MPS sources relative to GPS sources can be explained by the transition between GPS and MPS sources coinciding with the jet breakout phase of PS sources, such that GPS sources traverse through the surrounding medium at a lower speed than MPS sources. Such evolution has been observed in simulations of PS source evolution.

description: There is an extensive literature on the effects of monetary policy shocks, measured in terms of (unanticipated) changes in short-term interest rates, on key macroeconomic variables (output, employment, and inflation). However, the effects reported in individual studies are widely scattered and partly contradict each other. We therefore collect the existing empirical evidence and evaluate it using meta-analysis tools. This allows us to control for confounding and biasing factors in order to calculate an adjusted average effect of monetary policy on economic growth, (un)employment, and inflation. In addition, we examine the heterogeneity of effects along several dimensions.
Two sides of everydayness : suffering from foreignness (shou yang zui) and affirmations via hugging among senior Chinese women in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside
Creators: name: Yan, Bing
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Chinese seniors are an important part of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside community. However, relatively little scholarly attention has been paid to them. In this thesis, I conduct research on the everyday life of female Chinese elders living in the Downtown Eastside. Using ethnographic fieldwork, including participant observation and in-depth interviews, I explore how their everyday lives are braided by daily suffering and reciprocal activities. I thereby suggest that, first, everyday life forms an important site to examine how immigrants experience the macro social system, especially the intersected structural inequality. Second, a complex form of moral economy grows out of friendships among immigrants as well as friendships with non-immigrants, which invites scholars to draw attention to the intersection of reciprocity, migration, and networks. Finally, I suggest that the relationship between welfare receivers and providers is dynamic within the context of everyday life.

Pride in the city

description: Pride in one’s city is an individual, and collective as well as institutional response to urban conditions which may be harnessed in support of expanding urban facilities and services. Pride is likely to be felt most keenly by those who have a stake in the city and for this reason anecdotal reporting of urban pride in the media is subject to likely bias in favour of vested interests. In practice however we know very little about urban pride. The vast literature on urbanism does not appear to have identified any role for urban pride let alone indicating which cities gather pride or who among its inhabitants exhibit such prideThis paper applies a multi-level statistical model to large random sample of residents in twelve New Zealand cities. From the results we learn that, although financial stake holding is relevant, urban pride is concentrated more broadly among those whose social and cultural identity is closely tied to the city. Where financial stake holding is most influential is when it is absent, for those experiencing financial difficulties are the most likely to disavow urban pride. Urban pride is a therefore a distributional property of cities in which the currencies are emotional and cultural as well as financial. Urban pride is relatively absent among those who fail to have a stake in the city as well as being weaker among those who live in relatively unattractive cities, and less attractive neighbourhoods. As a barometer of rewards to living and investing in the city, urban pride certainly warrants closer attention than it has received to date.

Interacting diffusions and trees of excursions: convergence and comparison

description: We consider systems of interacting diffusions with local population regulation. Our main result shows that the total mass process of such a system is bounded above by the total mass process of a tree of excursions with appropriate drift and diffusion coefficients. As a corollary, this entails a sufficient, explicit condition for extinction of the total mass as time tends to infinity. On the way to our comparison result, we establish that systems of interacting diffusions with uniform migration between finitely many islands converge to a tree of excursions as the number of islands tends to infinity. In the special case of logistic branching, this leads to a duality between the tree of excursions and the solution of a McKean-Vlasov equation.

description: Let X be a smooth proper curve over a finite field of characteristic p. We prove a product formula for p-adic epsilon factors of arithmetic D-modules on X. In particular we deduce the analogous formula for overconvergent F-isocrystals, which was conjectured previously. The p-adic product formula is the equivalent in rigid cohomology of the Deligne-Laumon formula for epsilon factors in l-adic étale cohomology (for a prime l different from p). One of the main tools in the proof of this p-adic formula is a theorem of regular stationary phase for arithmetic D-modules that we prove by microlocal techniques.
