The potential and a strategy for managing and developing marine plant resources in British Columbia
Creators: name: Lewis, Kevin M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis assesses the potential and suggests strategies for the development of marine plant resources on the Canadian west coast. Three sub-objectives have been considered to determine the kind of marine plant management strategies that are necessary to assess and develop the industry in British Columbia. The analytical framework of the thesis hinges on these questions. 1. What is the physical potential for growing and harvesting these marine plants on the Canadian west coast and what products might be produced? 2. What is the potential market for marine plant products and what are the economics of production in British Columbia? 3. What should be the components of a strategy for developing an industry in British Columbia? These objectives have been met through literature reviews and a series of personal interviews. In 1976, the cumulative commercial value of the world's marine plant industries was approaching U.S. $1 Billion. The Japanese domestic industry alone generated an annual value of approximately U.S. $700 Million. World trade in edible marine plants and all marine plant products was estimated at U.S. $140 Million. Of this international trade, phycocolloids (marine plant colloids) and their raw materials constituted the dominant economic share. Since preliminary attempts, in 1946, to develop a marine plant operation in British Columbia the history of the marine plant industry has been one of disappointment. A series of failed development attempts has plagued the industry since its conception. At this time a limited marine plant industry has established on the west coast. These operations are small in scale and rely on the harvest of localized wild and cultured stocks. This study focuses on six marine plant species and identifies kelp meal and roe-on-kelp as economically viable products at this time. A number of small-scale operations have developed around the roe-on-kelp sector but administrative/jurisdictional constraints have prevented the establishment of a commercial scale kelp meal operation. Three priorities for the development of marine plant resources emerge from this study: 1. to provide a process which permits the expression and incorporation of the interests of affected resource users; 2. a need for an implementation process; and 3. a need to reserve critical resource beds to prevent encroachment of unsympathetic activities. The thesis concludes by illustrating that a strategic planning process provides an appropriate procedure to implement these priorities. Recommendations for industrial development and management are discussed under four categories: 1. Who should do the planning and management? 2. What should the co-ordinating body be doing? 3. How to implement the strategic plan? 4. When should these efforts begin?

description: We calculate the cross section and single-spin azimuthal asymmetry, A_n(t) for inclusive neutron production in pp collisions at forward rapidities relative to the polarized proton. Absorptive corrections to the pion pole generate a relative phase between the spin-flip and non-flip amplitudes, which leads to an appreciable spin asymmetry. However, the asymmetry observed recently in the PHENIX experiment at RHIC at very small |t|~0.01GeV^2 cannot be explained by this mechanism.

Nonextensive statistical mechanics and central limit theorems I - Convolution of independent random variables and q-product

description: In this article we review the standard versions of the Central and of the Levy-Gnedenko Limit Theorems, and illustrate their application to the convolution of independent random variables associated with the distribution known as q-Gaussian. This distribution emerges upon extremisation of the nonadditive entropy, basis of nonextensive statistical mechanics. It has a finite variance for q < 5/3, and an infinite one for q > 5/3. We exhibit that, in the case of (standard) independence, the q-Gaussian has either the Gaussian (if q < 5/3) or the a-stable Levy distributions (if q > 5/3) as its attractor in probability space. Moreover, we review a generalisation of the product, the q-product, which plays a central role in the approach of the specially correlated variables emerging within the nonextensive theory.

description: We analyze the vortex core states of two-species (mass imbalanced) superfluid fermion mixtures as a function of two-body binding energy in two dimensions. In particular we solve the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations for a population balanced mixture of $^{6}$Li and $^{40}$K atoms at zero temperature. We find that the vortex core is mostly occupied by the light-mass ($^{6}$Li) fermions and that the core density of the heavy-mass ($^{40}$K) fermions is highly depleted. This is in contrast with the one-species (mass balanced) mixtures with balanced populations where an equal amount of density depletion is found at the vortex core for both pseudospin components.

description: The goal of this deliverable is to draw the largely complete picture of the Prêt-à-LLOD software and language resource stack.

 Typical for a stack of single tools, the requirements expressed are manifold. The Requirements Document therefore concentrates on the specific requirements for the tools in Chapter “3.1 Requirements by Function”. Overall requirements are mostly bound to three
 design paradigms:

 ● Containerisation
 ● API Communication
 ● Linked Data Utilization

 (i) The use of Docker containers and Kubernetes facilitates the stack tools’ deployment and portability. One of the key concepts of the architecture is the use of containers to encapsulate all components, settings and libraries of an individual LT service in one self-contained unit. (ii) The OpenAPI specification, together with the Swagger UI provides a flexible communication on the basis of a widely used standard. (iii) JSON-LD allows data to be serialized in a way that is similar to traditional JSON. In order to map the JSON-LD syntax to
 RDF, JSON-LD allows values to be coerced to a specified type or to be tagged with a language. A context can be embedded directly in a JSON-LD document or put into a separate file and referenced from different documents.

 The frontend architecture is principally web-based. Beside the Swagger UI to directly interact with the APIs, more high-level UIs are in use on a tools level (and beyond): Teanga and Linghub (technically CKAN).

 Interfacing from other resources and to other stacks and platforms is to be done via interfaces mainly built on the design paradigms of Containerisation, API Communication and Linked Data Utilization

description: Advances in deep learning, combined with availability of large datasets, have led to impressive improvements in face presentation attack detection research. However, state-of-the-art face antispoofing systems are still vulnerable to novel types of attacks that are never seen during training. Moreover, even if such attacks are correctly detected, these systems lack the ability to adapt to newly encountered attacks. The post-training ability of continually detecting new types of attacks and self-adaptation to identify these attack types, after the initial detection phase, is highly appealing. In this paper, we enable a deep neural network to detect anomalies in the observed input data points as potential new types of attacks by suppressing the confidence-level of the network outside the training samples' distribution. We then use experience replay to update the model to incorporate knowledge about new types of attacks without forgetting the past learned attack types. Experimental results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method on two benchmark datasets as well as a newly introduced dataset which exhibits a large variety of attack types.

description: Objective: The aim of this study was to assess, through biological analysis, the local effects and osseointegration of dental implants incorporating surface micro/nanofeatures compared to implants of identical design without surface treatment. Background: Known to impact bone cell behavior, surface chemical and topography modifications target improved osseointegration and long-term success of dental implants. Very few studies assess the performance of implants presenting both micro-and nanofeatures in vivo on the animal models used in preclinical studies for medical device certification. Methods: Implant surfaces were characterized in terms of topography and surface chemical composition. After 4 weeks and 13 weeks of implantation in sheep femoral condyles, forty implants were evaluated through micro-computed tomography, histopathologic, and histomorphometric analyses. Results: No local adverse effects were observed around implants. Histomorphometric analyses showed significantly higher bone-to-implant contact in the coronal region of the surface treated implant at week 4 and week 13, respectively 79.3$\pm$11.2% and 86.4$\pm$6.7%, compared to the untreated implant's 68.3$\pm$8.8% and 74.8$\pm$13%. Micro-computed tomography analyses revealed that healing patterns differed between coronal and apical regions, with higher coronal boneto-implant contact at week 13. Histopathologic results showed, at week 13, bone healing around the surface treated implant with undistinguishable defect margins while the untreated implant still presented bone condensation and traces of the initial drill defect. Conclusion: Our results suggest that the surface treated implant not only shows no deleterious effects on local tissues but also promotes faster bone healing around the implant. (word count: 241

description: Quantum computing promises exponential speed-ups for important simulation and optimization problems. It also poses new CAD problems that are similar to, but more challenging, than the related problems in classical (non-quantum) CAD, such as determining if two states or circuits are functionally equivalent. While differences in classical states are easy to detect, quantum states, which are represented by complex-valued vectors, exhibit subtle differences leading to several notions of equivalence. This provides flexibility in optimizing quantum circuits, but leads to difficult new equivalence-checking issues for simulation and synthesis. We identify several different equivalence-checking problems and present algorithms for practical benchmarks, including quantum communication and search circuits, which are shown to be very fast and robust for hundreds of qubits.

description: This paper presents a deep learning-based de-homogenization method for structural compliance minimization. By using a convolutional neural network to parameterize the mapping from a set of lamination parameters on a coarse mesh to a one-scale design on a fine mesh, we avoid solving the least square problems associated with traditional de-homogenization approaches and save time correspondingly. To train the neural network, a two-step custom loss function has been developed which ensures a periodic output field that follows the local lamination orientations. A key feature of the proposed method is that the training is carried out without any use of or reference to the underlying structural optimization problem, which renders the proposed method robust and insensitive wrt. domain size, boundary conditions, and loading. A post-processing procedure utilizing a distance transform on the output field skeleton is used to project the desired lamination widths onto the output field while ensuring a predefined minimum length-scale and volume fraction. To demonstrate that the deep learning approach has excellent generalization properties, numerical examples are shown for several different load and boundary conditions. For an appropriate choice of parameters, the de-homogenized designs perform within $7-25\%$ of the homogenization-based solution at a fraction of the computational cost. With several options for further improvements, the scheme may provide the basis for future interactive high-resolution topology optimization.

description: We calculate high energy massive scattering amplitudes of closed bosonic string compactified on the torus. We obtain infinite linear relations among high energy scattering amplitudes. For some kinematic regimes, we discover that some linear relations break down and, simultaneously, the amplitudes enhance to power-law behavior due to the space-time T-duality symmetry in the compact direction. This result is consistent with the coexistence of the linear relations and the softer exponential fall-off behavior of high energy string scattering amplitudes as we pointed out prevously. It is also reminiscent of hard (power-law) string scatterings in warped spacetime proposed by Polchinski and Strassler.

description: The upcoming European design study `Einstein gravitational-wave Telescope' represents the first step towards a substantial, international effort for the design of a third-generation interferometric gravitational wave detector. It is generally believed that third-generation instruments might not be installed into existing infrastructures but will provoke a new search for optimal detector sites. Consequently, the detector design could be subject to fewer constraints than the on-going design of the second generation instruments. In particular, it will be prudent to investigate alternatives to the traditional L-shaped Michelson interferometer. In this article, we review an old proposal to use three Michelson interferometers in a triangular configuration. We use this example of a triple Michelson interferometer to clarify the terminology and will put this idea into the context of more recent research on interferometer technologies. Furthermore the benefits of a triangular detector will be used to motivate this design as a good starting point for a more detailed research effort towards a third-generation gravitational wave detector.

description: Global control strategies for arrays of qubits are a promising pathway to scalable quantum computing. A continuous-wave global field provides decoupling of the qubits from background noise. However, this approach is limited by variability in the parameters of individual qubits in the array. Here we show that by modulating a global field simultaneously applied to the entire array, we are able to encode qubits that are less sensitive to the statistical scatter in qubit resonance frequency and microwave amplitude fluctuations, which are problems expected in a large scale system. We name this approach the SMART (Sinusoidally Modulated, Always Rotating and Tailored) qubit protocol. We show that there exist optimal modulation conditions for qubits in a global field that robustly provide improved coherence times. We discuss in further detail the example of spins in silicon quantum dots, in which universal one- and two-qubit control is achieved electrically by controlling the spin-orbit coupling of individual qubits and the exchange coupling between spins in neighbouring dots. This work provides a high-fidelity qubit operation scheme in a global field, significantly improving the prospects for scalability of spin-based quantum computer architectures.

We present results for the angle-averaged magnetic structure factor, $S (k)$ at $L = 64$. Our results appear to indicate a phase transition into a ferromagnetic state. This is made possible by the existence of a Griffiths singularity. It appears that at the phase transition $M^2$ jumps to zero discontinuously, with a latent heat which is probably subextensive.

description: The compressibility of solid helium (3He and 4He) in the hcp and fcc phases has been studied by path-integral Monte Carlo. Simulations were carried out in both canonical (NVT) and isothermal-isobaric (NPT) ensembles at temperatures between 10 and 300 K, showing consistent results in both ensembles. For pressures between 4 and 10 GPa, the bulk modulus B is found to decrease by about 10 %, when temperature increases from the low-temperature limit to the melting temperature. The isotopic effect on the bulk modulus of helium crystals has been quantified in a wide range of parameters. At 25 K and pressures on the order of 1 GPa, the relative difference between 3He and 4He amounts to about 2 %. The thermal expansion has been also quantified from results obtained in both NPT and NVT simulations.

We study various chiral and topological aspects of quenched gauge field configurations. This includes the localization and chiral properties of the eigenmodes, the local structure of the ultraviolet filtered field strength tensor, as well as the structure of topological charge fluctuations. We conclude that the vacuum has a multifractal structure.

The effect of acute cigarette smoke exposure on regional pulmonary blood flow, volume, red cell transit and polymorphonuclear leukocyte retention in the rabbit lung
Creators: name: Lee, Sherman
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Regional pulmonary blood flow and volume was measured in ten rabbits anesthetized with pentobarbital (30 mg/kg). Tracheostomy was performed and catheters were placed into the jugular vein and carotid artery. The cardiac ⁹⁹mtc output was measured using the indicator-dilution technique using Tc labelled RBC followed by an injection of radiolabelled macroaggregates (MAA) to mark regional blood flow. Measurements were made both before and after either exposure to cigarette smoke (3 cigarettes for ten minutes at 4 puffs/minute) or sham exposure to air. The animals were sacrificed and the lungs were removed with the vessels tied. The lungs were then inflated and rapidly frozen over liquid nitrogen. The lungs were sampled into slices by vertical height, each slice was further sampled and then gamma counted for the injected isotopes. Regional pulmonary blood flow was calculated by setting the total lung MAA counts for each MAA equal to the cardiac output so that the sample flow was calculated as the fraction of sample counts to total counts times the cardiac output. The blood volume was marked by the labelled RBC and RBC transit was calculated as blood volume (ml) divided by blood flow (ml/sec). In a second series of experiments (N=10) , ⁵¹Cr PMN were injected as a bolus along with ⁹⁹mtc RBC in an indicator-dilution run. Following the injection of the cells, the blood flow was marked with MAAs and then the same sham or smoke treatments were given as in the previous experiments. At the end of ten minutes, the animals were sacrificed and the lungs were processed the same as before. Regional PMN retention was calculated as the [formula omitted]. The data show that smoke exposure increased pulmonary blood volume (p<.01), pulmonary transit time (p<C.05) and the ratio of lung blood volume to central blood volume (p <C-05) without changing central blood volume or cardiac output. Smoke exposure also caused a redistribution of blood flow from upper to lower lung regions (p <C-05). This lengthened the regional RBC transit times in all regions but particularly in the upper zones. These changes in RBC transit had no effect on PMN retention. We conclude that acute smoke exposure lengthens the RBC transit through the pulmonary circulation by increasing blood volume and redistributing blood flow. This change in red cell behavior was not associated with a consistent change in PMN retention in the lungs.
Against Epistemological Fascism: The (Self) Critique of the Criticals - A Reading of Paraskeva's Itinerant Curriculum Theory
Creators: name: Süssekind, Maria Luiza

description: One of richest and most central aspects of curriculum studies is conflict—sometimes aggressive—between different epistemological perspectives within and beyond the same ideological turf. Looking to the history of the field since the turn of the nineteenth century, such conflict is quite visible, not only in the perpetual battles for control, but also in how such struggles actually constitute the very enzyme of the field. Such battles are not socially sanitized, and the struggle for the US curriculum field has been an ideological carnage against eugenics—exposing class, race and gender battles within, between and beyond dominant and counter-dominant traditions and crossing cultural, economic and political dynamics (Apple, 1990; Giroux, 1981; Kliebard, 1995; Schubert, 1986, Schubert, Lopez Schubert, Thomas, & Caroll, 2002; Pinar, 1975; Grumet, 1981, Miller, 2006, Watkins, 2001; Paraskeva, 2011). In this context, Paraskeva’s (2011; 2016a) most recent work pushes the struggle over the curriculum to another level by denouncing the field itself  as the leading ideological locomotive of epistemicide. In a full-blast and comprehensive ‘self critique of curriculum studies’ and critical theorists, Paraskeva denounces both hegemonic and counter hegemonic theorists as players in such curriculum epistemicide.

Understanding the Relative Nature of Categorizing Characters on a Phylogenetic Tree as Synapomorphies or Plesiomorphies
Creators: name: THOMPSON, ANNA
Publisher: name: QUBES Educational Resources
Year: 2025

description: This activity is a worksheet designed to help students understand the relative nature of synapomorphies and plesiomorphies with respect to monophyletic groups. The worksheet has various phylogenetic trees without characters. Students get a prompt that describes the character with respect to the monophyletic groups and students then place the character on to the tree.
As is, this activity is designed for the in-person classroom, but it could be easily adapted into an online activity via Google Slides.

description: The diffusion and bootstrap percolation models were studied in regular random and Erdős-Rényi networks using the modified Newman-Ziff algorithms. We calculated the percolation threshold and the order parameter of the percolation transition (strength of the giant cluster) and its derivatives. The percolation transitions are classified by the results. The diffusion percolation with a small $k$ has a double transition, and the bootstrap percolation with $m\geq3$ has the first-order percolation transition. The diffusion percolation with a large $k$ and the bootstrap percolation with a small $m$ show the second-order percolation transition. Particularly, third-order percolation transitions were discovered in the bootstrap percolation of $m=2$ in regular random networks.

description: We present a scheme to establish non-classical correlations in the motion of two macroscopically separated massive particles without resorting to entanglement in their internal degrees of freedom. It is based on the dissociation of a diatomic molecule with two temporally separated Feshbach pulses generating a motional state of two counter-propagating atoms that is capable of violating a Bell inequality by means of correlated single particle interferometry. We evaluate the influence of dispersion on the Bell correlation, showing it to be important but manageable in a proposed experimental setup. The latter employs a molecular BEC of fermionic Lithium atoms, uses laser-guided atom interferometry, and seems to be within the reach of present-day technology.

Itinerant Curriculum Theory Against Epistemicides: A Dialogue Between the Thinking of Santos and Paraskeva
Creators: name: Oliveira, Ines B.
Publisher: name: Journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Curriculum Studies (JAAACS)
Year: 2017

description: This essay discusses how social emancipation and the ecology of knowledges are concepts that seek recognition of the Global South intellectual traditions and epistemologies within a South-North, inter- and transnational curriculum studies dialogue. Focusing on the potential contributions of Santos and Paraskeva, this essay argues that notions of epistemicide, cognitive justice, ecology of knowledges, and itinerant curriculum theory make key contributions to such a dialogue. This essay concludes by noting Santos’ and, especially, Paraskeva’s relevance to the area of “curriculum and everyday school life studies” that has emerged in the Brazilian field of curriculum studies, with potentials to influence the intellectual work of Northern curriculum theorists. Overall, I present this paper with the expectation of further unfolding South-North dialogues and amplifying inter- and transnational recognitions in curriculum studies.

description: Turbulence in the intracluster medium (ICM) is driven by active galactic nuclei (AGNs) jets, by mergers, and in the wakes of infalling galaxies. It not only governs gas motion but also plays a key role in the ICM thermodynamics. Turbulence can help seed thermal instability by generating density fluctuations, and mix the hot and cold phases together to produce intermediate temperature gas ($10^4$--$10^7$ $\mathrm{K}$) with short cooling times. We conduct high resolution ($384^3$--$768^3$ resolution elements) idealised simulations of the multiphase ICM and study the effects of turbulence strength, characterised by $f_{\mathrm{turb}}$ ($0.001$--$1.0$), the ratio of turbulent forcing power to the net radiative cooling rate. We analyse density and temperature distribution, amplitude and nature of gas perturbations, and probability of transitions across the temperature phases. We also study the effects of mass and volume-weighted thermal heating and weak ICM magnetic fields. For low $f_{\mathrm{turb}}$, the gas is distribution is bimodal between the hot and cold phases. The mixing between different phases becomes more efficient with increasing $f_{\mathrm{turb}}$, producing larger amounts of the intermediate temperature gas. Strong turbulence ($f_{\mathrm{turb}}\geq0.5$) generates larger density fluctuations and faster cooling, The rms logarithmic pressure fluctuation scaling with Mach number $σ_{\ln{\bar{P}}}^2\approx\ln(1+b^2γ^2\mathcal{M}^4)$ is unaffected by thermal instability and is the same as in hydro turbulence. In contrast, the density fluctuations characterised by $σ_s^2$ are much larger, especially for $\mathcal{M}\lesssim0.5$. In magnetohydrodynamic runs, magnetic fields provide significant pressure support in the cold phase but do not have any strong effects on the diffuse gas distribution, and nature and amplitude of fluctuations.

'And the Linguistic Minorities Suffer What They Must?': A Review of Conflicts In Curriculum Theory Through the Lenses of Language Teacher Education ?
Creators: name: Moreira, Maria Alfredo
Publisher: name: Journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Curriculum Studies (JAAACS)
Year: 2017

description: This review builds on João Paraskeva’s proposal for the development of an Itinerant Curriculum Theory (ICT), to analyse how his contributions advance the conversation on the need to deterritorialize the received field in curriculum studies and in teacher education. The subtractive forms of education that are imposed on bilingual/bicultural students and how (language) teacher education is (not) properly addressing them will be used to illustrate the relevance of Paraskeva’s work in providing the required critical lenses. In his contention for the need to reconceptualise the field of curriculum studies and teacher education, he addresses two key-concepts that are used in this text to analyse second language education and (language) teacher education with a focus on Portugal: the concept of curriculum epistemicides and the concept of epistemic colonization. Acknowledging their pervasive effects in reinforcing educational forms that severely limit the emancipatory goals of second language education and in the way teachers are prepared, this review also discusses the way teachers and students resist, oppose, and even subvert oppressive official discourses and practices, in order to create their own counterhegemonic alternatives. If used to advance the agenda for transformative and emancipatory education for bicultural and bilingual students in public schooling contexts, Paraskeva’s ICT informs, complements, and constitutes a significant contribution to move forward the concatenated fields of critical multicultural education, bicultural education, and bilingual/ multilingual education for global justice.

Nonlinear Perturbations and Conservation Laws on Curved Backgrounds in GR and Other Metric Theories
Creators: name: Petrov, A. N.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The field-theoretical approach is reviewed. Perturbations in general relativity as well as in an arbitrary $D$-dimensional metric theory are studied on a background, which is a solution (arbitrary) of the theory. Lagrangian for perturbations is defined, and field equations for perturbations are derived from the variational principle. These equations are exact and equivalent to the equations in the standard formulation, but can be approximate also. The field-theoretical description is invariant under gauge (inner) transformations, which can be presented both in exact and approximate forms. Following the usual field-theoretical prescription, conserved quantities for perturbations are constructed. Conserved currents are expressed through divergences of superpotentials -- antisymmetric tensor densities. This form allows to relate a necessity to consider local properties of perturbations with a theoretical representation of the quasi-local nature of conserved quantities in metric theories. Applications of the formalism in general relativity are discussed. Generalized formulae for an arbitrary metric $D$-dimensional theory are tested in the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity.
