description: Detection of Barrett's esophagus (BE) at points of care outside the endoscopy suite may improve screening access and reduce esophageal adenocarcinoma mortality. Tethered capsule optical coherence tomography (OCT) can volumetrically image esophageal mucosa and detect BE in unsedated patients. We investigated ultrahigh-speed tethered capsule, swept-source OCT (SS-OCT) in unsedated patients, improved device design, developed procedural techniques, measured how capsule contact and longitudinal pullback non-uniformity affect coverage, and assessed patient toleration. OCT was performed in 16 patients prior to endoscopic surveillance/treatment. Unsedated patients swallowed the capsule with small sips of water and the esophagus imaged by retracting the tether. Ultrahigh-speed SS-OCT at 1,000,000 A-scans/second imaged ~40cm$^2$ esophageal areas in 10 seconds with 30um transverse and 8um axial resolution. Nine patients had non-dysplastic BE, 3 had ablative treatment-naive neoplasia, and 4 had prior ablation for history of dysplasia. The capsule procedure was well tolerated. Ultrahigh-speed SS-OCT enabled the generation of cross-sectional and sub-surface en face images. BE could be rapidly identified in cross-sectional and en face images, while assessment of the gastro-esophageal junction (GEJ) required subsurface en face views. Capsule esophageal contact was worse in long-segment BE and sliding hiatal hernia, and longitudinal image coverage was worse in short-segment BE. OCT candidate features of dysplasia are reported. Ultrahigh-speed tethered capsule SS-OCT enabled en face and cross-sectional imaging of mucosal features over wide areas. Device and procedure optimization led to improved imaging performance. Areas of BE could be readily identified, but limited capsule contact and longitudinal image coverage can yield sampling errors.

description: We present I-band Surface Brightness Fluctuations (SBF) measurements for 16 early type galaxies (3 giants, 13 dwarfs) in the central region of the Hydra cluster, based on deep photometric data in 7 fields obtained with VLT FORS1. From the SBF-distances to the galaxies in our sample we estimate the distance of the Hydra cluster to be 41.2 +/- 1.4 Mpc ((m-M)=33.07 +/- 0.07 mag). Based on an improved correction for fluctuations from undetected point sources, we revise the SBF-distance to the Centaurus cluster from Mieske & Hilker (2003) upwards by 10% to 45.3 +/- 2.0 Mpc ((m-M)=33.28 +/- 0.09 mag). The relative distance modulus of the two clusters then is (m-M)_Cen - (m-M)_Hyd = 0.21 +/- 0.11 mag. With H_0=72 +/- 4 km/s/Mpc, we estimate a positive peculiar velocity of 1225 +/- 235 km/s for Hydra and 210 +/- 295 km/s for the Cen30 component of Centaurus. Allowing for a thermal velocity dispersion of 200 km/s, this rules out a common peculiar flow velocity for both clusters at 98% confidence. We find that the 9*10^{15} M_{sun} ``Great Attractor'' from the flow study of Tonry et al. (2000) at a distance of ~45 Mpc can explain the observed peculiar velocities if shifted about 15 degrees towards the Hydra cluster position. Our results are inconsistent at 94% confidence with a scenario where the Centaurus cluster is identical to the Great Attractor. In order to better restrict partially degenerate Great Attractor parameters like its mass and distance, a recalculation of the local flow model with updated distance information over a larger area than covered by us would be needed.

description: An intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) consists of a large number of low-cost reflecting elements, which can steer the incident signal collaboratively by passive beamforming. This way, IRS reconfigures the wireless environment to boost the system performance. In this paper, we consider an IRS-assisted uplink non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) system. The objective is to maximize the sum rate of all users under individual power constraint. The considered problem requires a joint power control at the users and beamforming design at the IRS, and is nonconvex. To handle it, semidefinite relaxation is employed, which provides a near-optimal solution. Presented numerical results show that the proposed NOMA-based scheme achieves a larger sum rate than orthogonal multiple access (OMA)-based one. Moreover, the impact of the number of reflecting elements on the sum rate is revealed.

Early childhood gender socialization : subtitle implications of sex-typed toys and play on adulthood career outcomes
Creators: name: Rhodes, Katherine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Sex-typed childhood toys are used as indicators of parent-child gender socialization. Sex-typed toys indicate gender roles and expectations parents expose their young children to. The present study's purpose is to test whether early childhood gender socialization is related to adulthood academic, career and family expectations. Gender role ideologies and gender schemas are hypothesized to mediate these relationships. Two hundred and seventy-seven university students volunteered to complete surveys. The surveys measured the frequency of play in feminine and masculine toys and games, neutral toys, and with each parent. The dependent variables measure the number of women enrolled in respondents' declared university majors (specializations), as well as their expected commitment to future occupation, parenting, marital, and home care roles. Expected role commitments are measured using the Life Role Salience Scale (Amatea et al., 1986). Gender role ideologies are measured by using the short version o f the Attitudes Towards Women Scale (Spence, Helmreich, & Stapp, 1973), and gender schemas are measured by using Bern's (1974) short version of the Bern Sex Role Inventory. The results of the study found that exposure to sex-typed toys i n early childhood is related to expected commitment levels to future occupational, parenting, marital, and home care roles, as well as to enrollment in female dominated university majors. Gender role ideologies and gender schemas mediate more of the relationships tested in the male sample than in the female sample.

description: We consider possible assignments for the D$_{s\J}^+(2632)$, which was recently reported in D$_s^+η$ and D$^0$K$^+$ final states by the SELEX Collaboration at Fermilab. The most plausible quark model assignment for this state is the first radial excitation ($2^3§_1$) of the $c\bar s$ D$_s^*(2112)$, although the predicted mass and strong decay branching fractions for this assignment are not in agreement with the SELEX data. The reported dominance of D$_sη$ over DK appears especially problematic. An intriguing similarity to the K$^*(1414)$ is noted. $2^3§_1$--$^3\D_1$ configuration mixing is also considered, and we find that this effect is unlikely to resolve the branching fraction discrepancy. Other interpretations as a $c\bar s$-hybrid or a two-meson molecule are also considered, but appear unlikely. Thus, if this state is confirmed, it will require reconsideration of the systematics of charmed meson spectroscopy and strong decays.

description: Specifications in the context of configurations are ways to describe and constrain configuration values. These specifications can be used to limit the possible errors users and admins can do. Writing these specifications though requires resources such as time. It is also unclear how effective such specifications are and how many misconfigurations they can catch. The quality of the error message is also a point of concern because it should be an improvement to the applications native configuration validation. Our thesis will investigate how effortful it is to write specifications for LCDproc and Cassandra, both medium sized applications with 190-300 configuration settings. We tracked the time needed for writing specifications for both applications and we developed the tool Lyrebird for automatic error injection. With Lyrebird we check how many misconfigurations these applications catch with and without a specification. The error messages are then manually analyzed for 5 key features in terms of quality. Our results show that the additional layer of a configuration specification varies in the detection rate of errors. The more complex an application is, the less likely a specification will catch difficult errors. The quality of the error messages though perform significantly better due to an uniform and standardized error message.

description: Concerns about future food security in the face of volatile and potentially lower yields due to climate change have been at the heart of recent discussions on adaptation strategies in the agricultural sector. While there are a variety of studies trying to quantify the impact of climate change on yields, some of that literature also acknowledges the fact that these estimates are subject to substantial uncertainty. The question arises how such uncertainty will affect decision-making if ensuring food security is an explicit objective. Also, it will be important to establish, which options for adaptation are most promising in the face of volatile yields. The analysis is carried out using a stochastic version of the Global Biosphere Management Model (GLOBIOM) model, which is a global recursive dynamic partial equilibrium bottom-up model integrating the agricultural, bio-energy and forestry sectors with the aim to give policy advice on global issues concerning land use competition between the major land-based production sectors. The source of stochasticity is the interannual crop yield variability, making it more risky to rely on average yields and thus requiring stochastic optimization techniques. The results indicate that food security requires overproduction to meet minimum food supply constraints also in scenarios of negative yield shocks, where the additional land needed is sourced from forests and other natural land. Trade liberalization and enhanced irrigation both appear to be promising food supply stabilization, and hence land saving, mechanisms in the face of missing storage.

description: Sardinia (Italy) is one of the most important European regions for sheep dairy and sheep milk cheese production. However the Sardinian sheep dairy industry is currently going through a dramatic crisis, and verifying whether it can recover part of its profitability is now a priority. Attention is now focused on estimating whether the sheep dairy firms can improve their productivity by more efficient use of their available technical resources. This paper aims to estimate technical efficiency in the Sardinian sheep dairy industry. A stochastic frontier analysis approach was used on panel data from 36 sheep dairy firms over the period 2004-2009 in order to assess whether there are some margins for technical improvements in productivity, given the existing level of technology. A comparative analysis of private firms and cooperatives was also carried out, in order to establish if there were differences in the technology they used and/or their efficiency in using technical inputs. Our findings suggest that there is technological homogeneity among the firms and between private firms and cooperatives. Technical efficiency is equal to 0.905 and it is significantly different between private firms (0.933) and cooperatives (0.877). Our findings have certain implications for what policies should be implemented in order to improve efficiency in the sector and on the orientation of decision makers strategies.

Their role in determining the polarized parton densities in the framework of the different approaches is discussed.

description: Three well-known perturbative approaches to deriving low-energy effective theories, the degenerate Brillouin-Wigner perturbation theory (projection method), the canonical transformation, and the resolvent methods are compared. We use the Hubbard model as an example to show how, to fourth order in hopping t, all methods lead to the same effective theory, namely the t-J model with ring exchange and various correlated hoppings. We emphasize subtle technical difficulties that make such a derivation less trivial to carry out for orders higher than second. We also show that in higher orders, different approaches can lead to seemingly different forms for the low-energy Hamiltonian. All of these forms are equivalent since they are connected by an additional unitary transformation whose generator is given explicitly. The importance of transforming the operators is emphasized and the equivalence of their transformed structure within the different approaches is also demonstrated.

description: Spatial patterns of interest are those spatial extents of interest to people. These patterns can be identified in two forms. The first form is areas of interest (AOIs) which refers to those areas that attract peoples interest within the city borders. The spatial extent of these areas is not defined because AOIs are subjective to the behavior of different groups of people. The second form of visualizing spatial patterns of interest is footprints which refers to spatial spread of human activity. Studying and understanding spatial patterns of interest, would undoubtedly help us to understand the spatial behavior of different groups of people. Thus, the extracted information about their patterns can be very useful in a lot of applications such as urban planning, location based services, national security, tourism, transportation and much more. Geosocial media GSM as stores different types of data such as tags, comments and photos that correlates to a space. Thus, GSM as a data source has proven reliability to provide data for spatial pattern analysis. This thesis introduces a work scheme to extract and analyze spatial patterns of interest of different groups of tourists in Vienna. The proposed work paradigm can be used to identify spatial patterns of interest in similar cases. Vienna has been chosen as the study area in this research. Vienna has special attributes that make the city a standard area for touristic pattern analysis such as history, culture, location, event hosting, political situation and climate. A dataset of Flickr geotagged photo data has been used to analyze the interest patterns in Vienna. Flickr is one of the oldest photo sharing platforms, thus Flickr data is very useful for performing a spatio-temporal analysis to compare the density evolution of tourists activities during a wide time period than what other GSM data would provide. A density based clustering algorithm HDBSCAN has been used to identify AOIs from Flickr data with help of concave hull enveloping algorithm. Different tourist groups footprints have been identified using Kernel density estimation KDE. Both the followed methodology have proven reliability to identify interest patterns of tourists in Vienna. Using two different methodologies in this case study, has opened a door to criticize both methodologies during the research.

A Composite Fuzzy Indicator for Assessing Farm Household Potential for Non-farm Income Diversification

description: European politicians encourage the income diversification of rural households through various measures. Although being aware of farm households’ potential for non-farm income diversification seems important for finely-targeting such policy measures, no attempt has thus far been made to summarise the various determinants of income diversification in a single figure. This contribution aims to close this gap. A composite fuzzy indicator that measures farm household potential for non-farm income diversification is developed and applied to 1,053 farm households in Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovenia. The indicator summarises the incentives of and capacities for non-farm income diversification on the individual household member level, and on the household and regional levels to a single measure using fuzzy logic methodology. The composite fuzzy indicator performs well, and the results for the single farm households can easily be retraced. The indicator not only singles out the households that have the potential for non-farm income diversification, but also shows the reasons for this. Thus, the result for 1,053 farm households is not only that most of them have a high potential for non-farm income diversification, but also that the majority of these households are pushed in diversification due to the smallness of their farms. Only a few of the farm households act under pull conditions, i.e. diversification is not a necessity, but they could opt for profitable non-farm employment due to favourable age, education, and regional conditions. Decision-makers could utilise the composite fuzzy indicator to finely-target diversification measures to the multifaceted conditions of farm households.
Disposal options to mitigate BSE risks in the Lower Fraser Valley, British Columbia
Creators: name: Levine, Adam
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The border closure to Canadian cattle and beef exports since the discovery of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) in May and December of 2003 have had overwhelming effects on the Canadian economy. Estimates suggest that nearly $6 billion in total has been lost in the 1½ years since the border closure. Two additional cases have now been detected, both within two weeks of the announcement on December 29th 2004 that trade with the U.S. (Canada's largest trading partner for cattle and beef products) was to resume in March 2005. The second discovery was a beef cow born after the ruminant feed ban was put in place in 1997 and fears that the border would remain closed have been validated. To date, trade of live cattle to the U.S has not resumed. The biological wastes considered to have the highest probability of containing the BSE infectious agent known as the prion are termed specified risk materials (SRM). As such, SRMs have been prohibited from the human food chain in Canada since August of 2003 as a preventative measure against the human version of BSE known as variant Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease (vCJD). Like BSE, vCJD is attributed to the human consumption of BSE infected meat products. It is a fatal neurological disorder with no known vaccine or cure. Regulatory changes have been proposed to remove SRM from the entire animal feed chain as a measure to mitigate further incidences of BSE. Such a measure would result in large volumes of biological waste that have few acceptable disposal options creating substantial challenges for industry and government. There are few options that are scientifically proven to reduce TSE infectivity through the destruction or inactivation of the infectious agent known as the prion. Findings of this research conclude that there does exist energy recovery disposal options that can serve to reduce release of these materials to soil, groundwater, and wildlife . The inclusion of rendered meat and bone meal co-fired in cement kilns and biodiesel production from tallow stand out as promising options to be considered in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Canada.

description: In this paper, we study the impact of urbanization on the location of agricultural production and the GHG emissions related to transportation activities. We develop an economic geography model where the location of agricultural activities and urban population are endogenous. We show that increasing agricultural yields induce the spatial concentration of agricultural production in the least urbanized region if agricultural transport costs are relatively low and in the most urbanized region otherwise. In addition, interregional trade in agricultural commodities is desirable to reduce GHG emissions, except when urban population is equally split between cities. However, the market may induce too much agglomeration of agricultural production when yields are high and when collection costs are low.

description: This paper explores the effect of exchange rate volatility and of the institutional quality on international trade flows of transition economies in Central European Countries by applying a gravity model of balance panel between 1999 and 2008. The results show that nominal exchange rate volatility has had a significant negative effect on trade by applying Psuedo- Maximum-Likelihood (PML) estimator method over this period. The institutional quality need to be improved in case of size of government and the quality of regulation. The negative effect of exchange rate volatility on agricultural exports suggests that joining Central European Countries to the euro zone can reduce the negative effects of exchange rate volatility on trade.

description: We study heat transport in quasi-one-dimensional spin-chain systems by considering the model of one-dimensional bosonic spin excitations interacting with three-dimensional phonons and impurities in the limit of weak spin-lattice coupling and fast spin excitations. A combined effect of the phonon and impurity scatterings yields the following spin-boson thermal conductivity behavior: kappa_s ~ T^2 at low, kappa_s ~ 1/T at intermediate, and kappa_s = const at higher temperatures. Our results agree well with the existing experimental data for Sr2CuO3. We predict an unusual dependence on the impurity concentration for a number of observables and propose further experiments.

description: The Pariser-Parr-Pople (PPP) model of a single-band one-dimensional (1D) metal is studied at the Hartree-Fock level, and by using the second-order perturbation theory of the electronic correlation. The PPP model provides an extension of the Hubbard model by properly accounting for the long-range character of the electron-electron repulsion. Both finite and infinite version of the 1D-metal model are considered within the PPP and Hubbard approximations. Calculated are the second-order electronic-correlation corrections to the total energy, and to the electronic-energy bands. Our results for the PPP model of 1D metal show qualitative similarity to the coupled-cluster results for the 3D electron-gas model. The picture of the 1D-metal model that emerges from the present study provides a support for the hypothesis that the normal metallic state of the 1D metal is different from the ground state.

description: The development of habitable conditions on Earth is tightly connected to the evolution of its atmosphere which is strongly influenced by atmospheric escape. We investigate the evolution of the polar ion outflow from the open field line bundle which is the dominant escape mechanism for the modern Earth. We perform Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) simulations and estimate the upper limits on escape rates from the Earth's open field line bundle starting from three gigayears ago (Ga) to present assuming the present-day composition of the atmosphere. We perform two additional simulations with lower mixing ratios of oxygen of 1% and 15% to account for the conditions shortly after the Great Oxydation Event (GOE). We estimate the maximum loss rates due to polar outflow three gigayears ago of $3.3 \times10^{27}$ s$^{-1}$ and $2.4 \times 10^{27}$ s$^{-1}$ for oxygen and nitrogen, respectively. The total integrated mass loss equals to 39% and 10% of the modern atmosphere's mass, for oxygen and nitrogen, respectively. According to our results, the main factors that governed the polar outflow in the considered time period are the evolution of the XUV radiation of the Sun and the atmosphere's composition. The evolution of the Earth's magnetic field plays a less important role. We conclude that although the atmosphere with the present-day composition can survive the escape due to polar outflow, a higher level of CO$_2$ between 3.0 and 2.0~Ga is likely necessary to reduce the escape.

description: We argue that symmetries and conservation laws greatly restrict the form of the terms entering the long wavelength description of growth models exhibiting anomalous roughening. This is exploited to show by dynamic renormalization group arguments that intrinsic anomalous roughening cannot occur in local growth models. However some conserved dynamics may display super-roughening if a given type of terms are present.

description: We study the problem of heat transport in one-dimensional (1D) spin-chain systems weakly coupled to three-dimensional phonons and impurities. We consider the limit of fast spin excitations and slow phonons, applicable to a number of compounds of the cuprates family, such as Sr2CuO3, where the superexchange J is much larger than the Debye energy. In this case the Umklapp scattering among the spin excitations is strongly suppressed for all relevant temperatures. We argue that the leading scattering mechanism for the spin excitations at not too low temperatures is the "normal" (as opposed to the Umklapp) spin-phonon scattering in which the non-equilibrium momentum is transferred from the spin subsystem to phonons where it quickly relaxes through the "phonon bath". Because of the lower dimensionality of the spin excitations it is only the momentum along the chains which is conserved in such a scattering. We find that this effect leads to a particular momentum- and temperature-dependence of the spin-phonon relaxation rate valid for the broad class of low-dimensional spin systems. Subsequently we demonstrate that the spin-phonon relaxation mechanism is insufficient for the low-energy, long-wavelength 1D spin-chain excitations, which make the thermal conductivity diverge. We complete our consideration by taking into account the impurity scattering, which in 1D cuts off the quasi-ballistic spin excitations and renders the thermal conductivity finite. Our results compare very well with the existing experimental data for Sr2CuO3. Using our microscopic insight into the problem we propose further experiments and predict an unusual impurity concentration dependence for a number of quantities.

description: Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms find applications in inventory control, recommender systems, vehicular traffic management, cloud computing and robotics. The real-world complications of many tasks arising in these domains makes them difficult to solve with the basic assumptions underlying classical RL algorithms. RL agents in these applications often need to react and adapt to changing operating conditions. A significant part of research on single-agent RL techniques focuses on developing algorithms when the underlying assumption of stationary environment model is relaxed. This paper provides a survey of RL methods developed for handling dynamically varying environment models. The goal of methods not limited by the stationarity assumption is to help autonomous agents adapt to varying operating conditions. This is possible either by minimizing the rewards lost during learning by RL agent or by finding a suitable policy for the RL agent which leads to efficient operation of the underlying system. A representative collection of these algorithms is discussed in detail in this work along with their categorization and their relative merits and demerits. Additionally we also review works which are tailored to application domains. Finally, we discuss future enhancements for this field.
