description: I intend to develop a programme that is an extension of my undergraduate submission, namely portraiture. The portraits are a statement about the person, not a quest for likeness. This approach often leaves the individual no more important than the act of drawing, or the construction of the image with regard to the history of portraiture in Painting and Photography. As a development the person may come to dominate the image, or conversely, by nature of working an image in a series, the figure may be obliterated leaving only clues for identity. Part of the rationale for continuing to work this way is it will allow further exploration of the graphic potential of the lithographic medium. Part of this process would involve working with other print media as an end in itself, and as a method of stimulating ways to approach lithography. The subsequent product would be the production of colour lithographs.

description: We investigate the creation of squeezed states of a vibrating membrane or a movable mirror in an opto-mechanical system. An optical cavity is driven by squeezed light and couples via radiation pressure to the membrane/mirror, effectively providing a squeezed heat-bath for the mechanical oscillator. Under the conditions of laser cooling to the ground state, we find an efficient transfer of squeezing with roughly 60% of light squeezing conveyed to the membrane/mirror (on a dB scale). We determine the requirements on the carrier frequency and the bandwidth of squeezed light. Beyond the conditions of ground state cooling, we predict mechanical squashing to be observable in current systems.

Pseudoelasticity and the strain memory effect in Cu-Zn-Sn
Creators: name: Eisenwasser, Jacob David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: An investigation of pseudoelasticity and the strain memory effect was carried out on the β’-bcc phase of alloy of composition Cu-33Zn-3.4Sn. Pseudoelasticity was found to occur by a stress-induced, martensite transformation. Maximum pseudoelasticity occurred at the Af temperature and was ~8% for single crystal specimens and ~4% for polycrystalline specimens. Calculations indicated that the large strains were due to a transformation from a bcc to a fct martensite structure. The strain memory effect was studied by deforming specimens below Af and then heating above Af. At temperatures between Ms and Af, the deformation is accommodated by the stress-induced martensite formation. At temperatures below Mf, deformation of the martensite takes place and it is suggested that there is a change in the martensite structure with an increase in the amount of orthorhombic martensite present. The pseudoelastic and strain memory effects have very similar origins and over a wide temperature range from well below Mf to well above As the combined pseudoelastic and strain memory recovery is essentially 100%.

B) a Flye assembly graph of the Canu trimmed long reads without the FMLRC correction step. Both assemblies failed to generate telomere length contigs. C) Manual resolving of tangles in Flye assembly (> 5000) graph. Evidence was used from both assemblies to resolve the final tangles. Chromosome 7 was telomere length in the > 3000 read length assembly, and, along with coverage data, allowed the tangle in the assembly graph between chromosome 1 and chromosome 7 to be resolved (blue). Chromosome 3 was also fully telomere length in the in the > 3000 read length assembly (pink). Mapping reads to the 5231 bp contig, which contained a telomere sequence at its terminal, showed the contig to overlap with the end repeat contig of chromosome one (purple). D) Dotplot comparison of the long read assembly M. brunneum reference assembly. Good synteny is observed between the 7 complete chromosomes and the contigs and scaffolds from the previous reference assembly.

description: The String Quartet #2 was written during the Spring and Summer of 1994 (the work is dated June 7, 1994) and was dedicated to the composer's violin teacher, Dr. Herman R. Ash. Dr. Ash performed the work with his quartet during the summer of 1994 (only movements 1 and 4). The composer has since written several quartets (both fragmentary and fully completed works). The work represented here is of a style somewhat like Robert Schumann, as the composer was developing his own style at the time. The individual parts of this quartet are also available on Academic Commons.

Real Lives True Stories: Peer Interactions and Stress Among Middle School Girls

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Adolescence is a critical transition between childhood and adulthood and a transformative time of emotional turmoil and tremendous maturation in peer relationships. Significant changes occur in every physiological system, and elevated stress levels can have significant and long-lasting physiological effects on future health outcomes. This doctoral research investigates how the daily social stress of peer interactions and navigating social hierarchies influence adolescents’ well-being. Conducted in rural Mississippi, my work used ethnographic qualitative, standardized psychological, and quantitative biological data to examine the social interactions of at-risk girls in middle school. Implementing a critical biocultural framework to understand the challenges and the social determinants of health that rural, low-income middle school girls encounter in everyday experiences, this research elucidates how life events and social stressors become embodied. The project outcomes show that girls’ experiences of adverse life events and the myriad of ways they cope with these experiences contribute to increased systolic blood pressure. During adolescence, elevated stress levels that increase blood pressure may persist into adulthood, increasing the risk of cardiovascular and chronic disease. Often overlooked, rural girls’ experiences and associated blood pressure increases are similar to those in urban areas. During adolescence, the social determinants of health become a tangible facet of the social hierarchies girls must navigate as they develop their identity within the larger social environment. The embodiment of these stressors during this developmental period points to this adolescence as an important time to address social determinants of health and provide girls with the tools to cope effectively.

Subjects: tobacco, tobacco cessation centres, tobacco cessation policies, health survey

description: ABSTRACT:Background- India has the highest incidence of oral cancer worldwide. Despite all the efforts, tobacco smoking is a serious health problem in India, where one-third of the population smokes. The aim of this artcile is to assess knowledge about awareness regarding tobacco cessation policies, harmful effects of tobacco among taxi drivers in Mumbai.Materials & Methods- A questionnaire-based study was designed wherein 139 cab drivers from the Dadar neighbourhood participated.Results- Participants in this study were between 24 to 70 age ranges. 60% of the participants used cigarettes, whereas 73% were unaware of the government's smoke cessation policies. Despite several policies available, the majority of cigarette users were ignorant of them.Conclusion- We concluded in our study that most participants were aware of the harmful effects of tobacco. They knew nothing about cessation clinics. We also learned that even after being put into place, the tobacco cessation policies were not socially promoted.

description: This work was written in the first half of 2010 in Chicago, IL. It was written for Israeli 'cellist Racheli Galay, who was the first and only person (at the time of writing this) to read through the work. I offer this piece for the public to play and perform. There are two specific comments regarding notation that should be made: 1) due to an problem in the notation software I used to write this, between measures 34 and 35 there is a rogue empty measure, which can be ignored; and 2) having read through the work with a professional 'cellist, we discovered some inconvenient double stops. As I am aware of some of these problems, I am amenable to those performers, who wish to amend their instrument line, within reason (especially the 'cello), to create the optimal musical performance.

Electrochemical study of pyrrhotite
Creators: name: Jibiki, Kyosuke
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The rest potential of sulphide electrodes was examined from both thermodynamic and kinetic aspects. The kinetic aspect has been found to be necessary for the interpretation of the establishment of the mixed potential in polyelectrode system, to which most sulphide systems belong. The pyrrhotite electrode system was studied by measuring the rest potential while changing the concentrations of ferrous ion, hydrogen ion and hydrogen sulphide in the electrolyte, and the composition of pyrrhotite. A mixed potential of pyrrhotite consisting of the reaction S (in pyrrhotite) + 2H⁺ + 2e ⃗ H₂S as a cathodic process and the reaction Fe (in pyrrhotite) ⃗ Fe⁺⁺ + 2e as an anodic process accounts for the dependence of the rest potential on those ionic species in the electrolyte and the composition of pyrrhotite electrodes.

description: Tunneling spectra of near optimally doped, submicron Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+δ}$ intrinsic Josephson junctions are presented, and examined in the region where the superconducting gap evolves into pseudogap. The spectra are analyzed using a self-energy model, proposed by Norman {\it et al.}, in which both quasiparticle scattering rate $Γ$ and pair decay rate $Γ_Δ$ are considered. The density of states derived from the model has the familiar Dynes' form with a simple replacement of $Γ$ by $γ_+$ = ($Γ$ + $Γ_Δ$)/2. The $γ_+$ parameter obtained from fitting the experimental spectra shows a roughly linear temperature dependence, which puts a strong constraint on the relation between $Γ$ and $Γ_Δ$. We discuss and compare the Fermi arc behavior in the pseudogap phase from the tunneling and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy experiments. Our results indicate an excellent agreement between the two experiments, which is in favor of the precursor pairing view of the pseudogap.

Evaluating Opioid Prescribing by Dentists in the United States: A Mixed Methods Approach
Creators: name: Yan, Connie
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Evidence suggests that United States (US) dentists were excessively prescribing opioids. Risk mitigation strategies aimed to minimize overprescribing of opioids across all prescribers, inclusive of dentists, have been implemented. There is limited understanding how dentists’ prescribing of opioids have changed in response. This mixed methods dissertation aimed to address this evidence gap. First, a time-series approach was used to describe changes in dentists’ opioid prescribing from 2012-2019 using a comprehensive nationally-representative prescription claims dataset. Over the eight years, dentists prescribed >87.2 million opioid prescriptions. Autoregressive integrated moving average models demonstrated that population- and dentist-based prescribing rates, and opioid dosages (morphine milligram equivalents [MME]) significantly declined monthly from 2012-2019. Joinpoint regressions identified four time-points (February-2016, May-2017, December-2018, and March-2019) at which monthly prescribing rate trends were decreasing in higher magnitude compared to the prior time-segments. Second, an interrupted time-series analysis was used to understand how the 2014 federal rescheduling of hydrocodone impacted dentists’ prescribing of opioids. Immediately following the implementation of the federal regulation (index), hydrocodone prescribing immediately decreased, with increased prescribing of codeine, oxycodone, and tramadol. The average MME/day increased at index for all opioids except for hydrocodone. Third, interviews with a national sample of US dentists was conducted to identify barriers and facilitators to opioids prescribing. Seventy-three interviews were qualitatively analyzed. Eleven themes were identified within the Capability, Opportunity and Motivation Model of Behavior. Findings suggested that dentists were judicious prescribers of opioids if they were knowledgeable of analgesics, able to identify patients demonstrating behaviors of substance use disorders, capable of communicating to patients the pain management plans, or prescribed opioids within clinic policies or state/federal regulations. Dentists reported prescribing an opioid if they determined clinical necessity or feared patients’ negative perception if they refused to prescribe an opioid. Dentists’ opioid decision-making processes are influenced by a range of real-world practice experiences, and patient and clinic factors. Education/training that target the knowledge gap in dentists and changes in the dentist practice culture can encourage dentists to prescribe non-opioids as first-line analgesics, while conserving opioid use. US dentists’ have become more conservative in prescribing opioids. While regulations are capable of restricting dentists’ prescribing of opioids, other strategies targeting the knowledge gap in dentists may ensure dentists’ are capable of appropriately prescribing analgesics for dental-related pain.

High-resolution palaeoenvironmental information from southeast Australian speleothems
Creators: name: Desmarchelier, Jolyon Michael
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Speleothems, chemical cave deposits such as soda-straw stalactites, stalagmites and flowstones, have great potential as archives of high-resolution terrestrial palaeoenvironmental change at both short and long term temporal scales. In this study temporal control is achieved using various high precision radiometric techniques such as TIMS 230Th/234 U dating, AMS radiocarbon dating, and 210Pb excess dating, the latter two methods used to investigate contemporary speleothem material. An additional method adopted only with certain samples, but showing considerable promise, is autocorrelation of annual variations in speleothem minor element concentrations. 43 new TIMS 230Th/234 U speleothem age estimates from several karst areas in Tasmania are presented as a cumulative frequency distribution and are compared with some previously published and unpublished speleothem data from southeast Australian continent. The distribution of ages allows some comments to be made on past environmental conditions and their effect on speleothem growth in southeastern Australia. Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) has been used to investigate minor element variations along the whole growth axis of several speleothems. Some soda-straw stalactites are found to contain quasi-periodical variations in their minor element composition, in some cases it is in phase with surface ridges, ie annual banding, sometimes visible on the surface. Measurements of the surface ridging using dendrochronological equipment allow a temporal framework to be developed and comparisons to be made between this chronology and one established using the annual cyclicity of certain minor elements. The chronologies agree very closely, indicating that soda-straw stalactites can potentially provide annually resolved records. Measurements of the minor element and stable isotope composition of flowstone material have been taken in order to provide records of palaeoenvironmental change in areas not previously studied in southeastern Australia using speleothems as an information source.

The localization-delocalization transition (LDT) for transport across the lattice was observed with reducing lattice amplitude or increasing exciton density. The exciton interaction energy at the transition is close to the lattice amplitude. These results are consistent with the model, which attributes the LDT to the interaction-induced percolation of the exciton gas through the external potential. We also discuss applications of the lattice potentials for estimating the strength of disorder and exciton interaction.

Liquid pool geometry and liquid mixing in the continuous casting of steel.
Creators: name: Morton, Stewart Kenneth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Observations have been made of the liquid pool depth and profile in the continuous casting of steel at the Western Canada Steel Co. and at the Premier Works of the Steel Company of Canada. This was done by two techniques. In the first, radioactive gold was added to the mold during a normal casting, and subsequently determining the distribution of gold in the casting by autoradiography. In the second method, tungsten pellets containing a small Co⁶⁰ wire were dropped into the steel during casting in order to obtain direct measurements of the pool depth. The results of the pool profiles and liquid flow patterns as a function of casting conditions will be presented and compared to theoretical predictions based on heat flow considerations.

description: In this paper, we study the implementation of brane worlds in type II string theory. Starting with the NS/NS sector of type II string, we first compactify the $(D+d_{+} + d_{-})$-dimensional spacetime, and reduce the corresponding action to a D-dimensional effective action, where the topologies of $M_{d_{+}}$ and $M_{d_{-}}$ are arbitrary. We further compactify one of the $(D-1)$ spatial dimensions on an $S^{1}/Z_{2}$ orbifold, and derive the gravitational and matter field equations both in the bulk and on the branes. Then, we investigate two key issues in such a setup: (i) the radion stability and radion mass; and (ii) the localization of gravity, and the corresponding Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes. We show explicitly that the radion is stable and its mass can be in the order of $GeV$. In addition, the gravity is localized on the visible brane, and its spectrum of the gravitational KK towers is discrete and can have a mass gap of $TeV$, too. The high order Yukawa corrections to the 4-dimensional Newtonian potential is exponentially suppressed, and can be negligible. Applying such a setup to cosmology, we obtain explicitly the field equations in the bulk and the generalized Friedmann equations on the branes.

description: Medical schools use diverse language in their learning objectives, including those at the program, course, and event level. Schools may choose to write original learning objectives, use an existing competency frameworks’ language exactly as is, or customized an existing competency frameworks’ language to best fit their school. This study examines the question – which competency frameworks do US allopathic medical schools in their learning objectives, how do they use them, and how does this play out in curriculum? Four frameworks are examined: the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Physician Competency Reference Set (PCRS), the Accreditation Council on Graduate Medical Education (ACMGE) core competencies, the AAMC Entrustrable Professional Activities (EPAs), and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada CanMeds enabling competencies. When examining Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) accredited, United States-based allopathic medical schools’ curricular data from 2014-2020, results show that a majority of schools (82 unique schools) use one or more of the four frameworks in the language of their program objectives. There is an upward trend over time of schools incorporating language from frameworks into their learning objectives. When examining unique school uses, the most often chosen of the four frameworks is the AAMC PCRS at the program, course, and event objective level. When examining whether schools use a framework’s language exactly as is, or adapt it to add additional characters, the more common approach is to adapt the frameworks’ language for school-specific learning objectives.

description: This is the first in a series of papers in which we study the application of spectroastrometry in the context of gas kinematical studies aimed at measuring the mass of supermassive black holes. The spectroastrometrical method consists in measuring the photocenter of light emission in different wavelength or velocity channels. In particular we explore the potential of spectroastrometry of gas emission lines in galaxy nuclei to constrain the kinematics of rotating gas disks and to measure the mass of putative supermassive black holes. By means of detailed simulations and test cases, we show that the fundamental advantage of spectroastrometry is that it can provide information on the gravitational potential of a galaxy on scales significantly smaller (~ 1/10) than the limit imposed by the spatial resolution of the observations. We then describe a simple method to infer detailed kinematical informations from spectroastrometry in longslit spectra and to measure the mass of nuclear mass concentrations. Such method can be applied straightforwardly to integral field spectra, which do not have the complexities due to a partial spatial covering of the source in the case of longslit spectra.

description: The nonlinear properties of a metamaterial sample composed of double-layer metallic patterns and voltage controllable diodes are experimentally investigated. Second harmonics and spectrum modulations are clearly observed in a wide band of microwave frequencies, showing that this kind of metamaterial is not only tunable by low DC bias voltage, but also behaves strong nonlinear property under a small power incidence. These properties are difficult to be found in normal, naturally occurring materials.

description: After recent improvements to the Pavia model of two-nucleon knockout from $^{16}$O with electromagnetic probes the calculated cross sections are compared to experimental data from such reactions. Comparison with data from a measurement of the $^{16}$O(e,e$'$pn) reaction show much better agreement between experiment and theory than was previously observed. In a comparison with recent data from a measurement of the $^{16}$O($γ$,pn) reaction the model over-predicts the measured cross section at low missing momentum.

Valuing wilderness : an analysis of the public submissions to the proposed helicopter/floatplane landing sites in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area
Creators: name: Fry, JL
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The subjective nature of a wilderness experience and wilderness definition makes it imperative that managers of wilderness areas understand the views held by stakeholders, their experience levels and demographic profile. This study demonstrates the values, needs, characteristics and behaviours of the respondents to the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service's (2000) call for submissions to the helicopter and floatplane landing sites issue in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. A phenomenological approach is taken in order to classify the wilderness values identified in the submissions. In addition to the official responses, data is taken from a follow-up survey conducted on the respondents to determine experience levels and a demographic profile. The follow-up survey seeks to clarify the wilderness values held by the stakeholders. Clear demographic and experience profiles emerge from the study. The respondents are identified as being 35-54 years of age, hold managerial or professional occupations, and have completed tertiary education. Respondents are very experienced, self-reliant recreationalists and have participated in at least one self-reliant recreational activity in the last 12 months. The stakeholders believe that wilderness should be completely protected. The reasons behind this need for protection constitute the stakeholders' wilderness values. Wilderness values that are identified in the study include: Gymnasium, Rarity, Wilderness as Protected Landscape, Life Support, and Intrinsic Values. The findings have implications for best practice management of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area.

description: High-temperature superconductivity confined to nanometer-size interfaces has been a long standing goal because of potential applications^{1,2} and the opportunity to study quantum phenomena in reduced dimensions^{3,4}. However, this is a challenging target: in conventional metals the high electron density restricts interface effects such as carrier depletion/accumulation to a region much narrower than the coherence length, the scale necessary for superconductivity to occur. In contrast, in copper oxides the carrier density is low while the critical temperature (T_c) is high and the coherence length very short; so, this provides a breakthrough opportunity but at a price: the interface must be atomically perfect. Here we report on superconductivity in bilayers consisting of an insulator (La_2CuO_4) and a metal (La_{1.55}Sr_{0.45}CuO_{4}), neither of which is superconducting in isolation. However, in bilayers T_c is either ~15 K or ~30 K, depending on the layering sequence. This highly robust phenomenon is confined within 2-3 nm from the interface. If such a bilayer is exposed to ozone, T_c exceeds 50 K and this enhanced superconductivity is also shown to originate from the interface layer about 1-2 unit cell thick. Enhancement of T_c in bilayer systems was observed previously^5 but the essential role of the interface was not recognized at the time. Our results demonstrate that engineering artificial heterostructures provides a novel, unconventional way to fabricate stable, quasi two-dimensional high T_c phases and to significantly enhance superconducting properties in known or new superconductors.
