Axenic culture of wheat stem rust fungus
Creators: name: Bose, A. (Amitava)
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The development of our knowledge of the metabolism, nutrition., and physiology of the rust fungi has been restricted because of our inability to grow these fungi in axenic culture. Most of the physiological and biochemical investigations on rust fungi have been limited to studies of the germination and development of germ tubes. It is not known, whether failure of the rusts to grow axenically is associated with a metabolic block in essential biochemical pathways. The uredial stage of an Australian isolate (ANZ 126-6, 7) of wheat stem rust was grown on a relatively simple medium. Successful in vitro growth was obtained on a medium containing Czapek's minerals, glucose and an organic nitrogen source viz. yeast extract, peptone or BSA. Vegetative growth producing a discrete colony appeared to be dependent upon high density seeding, when conventional dry seeding techniques were followed. When a spore suspension in gelatin was used for inoculation consistent, reproducible vegetative growth at low density seeding was obtained. Water spore suspensions failed to support any growth on the same series of media, under identical conditions. Sodium citrate, host extract, and host protein fractions in general inhibited growth whereas pectin increased the lag phase. Spore-like bodies were obtained inside the colony, which were devoid of any pigmentation. It is suggested that the combination of physical and chemical factors surrounding the germinating spore play an important role in the in vitro development of rust fungi.

description: Different samples of Zn1-xMnxO series have been prepared by conventional solid state sintering method. It has been identified, up to what extent of doping enable us to synthesize single-phase polycrystalline Mn doped ZnO samples which is one of the prerequisite for dilute magnetic semiconductor and we have analyzed its certain other physical aspects. In synthesizing the samples proportion of Mn varies from 1 at% to 5 at%. However the milling times have been varied (6, 12, 24, 48 & 96 hours) for only 2 at% Mn doped samples while for other samples (1, 3, 4 & 5 at% Mn doped) the milling time has been kept fixed at 96 hours. Room temperature X-Ray diffraction (XRD) data reveal that all of the prepared samples up to 3 at% of Mn doping exhibit wurtzite-type structure, no segregation of Mn and/or its oxides has been found. The 4 at% Mn doped samples show a weak peak of ZnMn2O4 apart from usual other peaks of ZnO and the intensity of this impurity peak has been further increased for 5 at% of Mn doping. So beyond 3 at% doping single-phase behavior is destroyed. Band gap for all the 2 at% Mn doped samples have been estimated as between 3.21 to 3.19 eV and reason for this low band gap values has been explained through the grain boundary trapping model. The room temperature resistivity measurement shows increase of resistivity up to 48 hours of milling and with further milling it saturates. The defect state of these samples has been investigated by using positron annihilation lifetime (PAL) spectroscopy technique. Here all the relevant lifetime parameters of positron i.e. free annihilation (tau 1), at defect site (tau 2) and average (tau av) increases with milling time.

description: When a parent discloses a family secret to their adult-child, they may impact different elements of the parent-child relationship. To explore the perspective of adult children when a parent discloses a family secret, this study utilizes a communication privacy management framework (CPM; Petronio, 2002), surveying adult-children between the ages of 18 and 25 (N = 383), to investigate the positive association between privacy management and relationship satisfaction (H1), the negative association between relationship satisfaction and parentification (H2), and the positive association between parentification and privacy management (H3). Additionally, the current study explored whether parentification moderates the relationship between privacy management and relationship satisfaction (H4), and whether relationship satisfaction moderates the association between parentification and privacy management (H5). Results demonstrate significant associations between both privacy management and relationship satisfaction, and relationship satisfaction and parentification. There was no association found between parentification and privacy management. Further, parentification was not found to moderate the relationship between privacy management and satisfaction, and satisfaction was not found to moderate the relationship between parentification and privacy management. These findings inform family communication scholarship regarding parent-child relational behaviors, dyadic functioning, and family dynamics.

description: We consider cosmologies in which a dark-energy scalar field interacts with cold dark matter. The growth of perturbations is followed beyond the linear level by means of the time-renormalization-group method, which is extended to describe a multi-component matter sector. Even in the absence of the extra interaction, a scale-dependent bias is generated as a consequence of the different initial conditions for baryons and dark matter after decoupling. The effect is enhanced significantly by the extra coupling and can be at the 2-3 percent level in the range of scales of baryonic acoustic oscillations. We compare our results with N-body simulations, finding very good agreement.

Skyline thinning production study.
Creators: name: Hemphill, Dallas Campbell
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Thinning is rapidly gaining importance in the Pacific Northwest as old-growth timber reserves approach exhaustion. In the past, thinnings have been extracted by wheeled or tracked machines, but the need for reducing soil disturbance, while operating in any kind of terrain, has led to the development of a number of skyline systems. Two of these systems were studied, a Washington Model 98 Skylok yarder rigged with a running skyline, and a West Coast Tower using a standing skyline. Both systems are described in detail. A time study was done on seven skyline "roads" for the West Coast Tower, and on two "roads" for the Washington Model 98. The construction of a computer simulation model of the yarding process is described. The various elements of the logging process were modelled in several ways, and the thesis shows how the model could be used to make guidelines for planning logging layouts, for sensitivity analyses, for cost and time prediction, for methods improvement, to assist in equipment selection, to help allocate machines, and to show the applicability of skyline thinning to an area outside of the Pacific Northwest. External yarding distance, over a wide range, was found to be unimportant in determining yarding costs. Stocking was an important factor. It was shown that there was an optimum road width for a given length and shape of skyline "road". Potential savings were shown in loading and yarding procedures. The standing skyline was found to have no advantage in deflection, and it was more expensive to set up than the running skyline. Improvements in tree marking procedure are suggested. Loading was found to have considerable potential for cost reduction. Suggestions are made for future research, and the lack of some very basic knowledge is noted. There is abundant room for, and a great need of, an extension of this analysis.

description: Relative and absolute emission line shifts have been previously found for symbiotic binaries, but their cause was not clear. This work aims to better understand the emission line shifts. Positions of strong emission lines were measured on archival UV spectra of Z And, AG Dra, RW Hya, SY Mus and AX Per and relative shifts between the lines of different ions compared. Profiles of lines of RW Hya and Z And were also examined. The reality of the relative shift between resonance and intercombination lines of several times ionised atoms was clearly shown except for AG Dra. This redshift shows a well defined variation with orbital phase for Z And and RW Hya. In addition the intercombination lines from more ionised atoms and especially OIV are redshifted with respect to those from less ionised atoms. Other effects are seen in the profiles. The resonance-intercombination line shift variation can be explained in quiescence by P Cygni shorter wavelength component absorption, due to the wind of the cool component, which is specially strong in inferior conjunction of this cool giant. The velocity stratification permits absorption of line emission. The relative intercombination line shifts may be connected with varying occultation of line emission near an accretion disk, which is optically thick in the continuum.

description: Aims: We study the VUV emission of the quiet Sun and the net redshift of transition region lines in the SUMER spectral range. We aim at establishing a link with atmospheric processes and interpreting the observed downflow as the most evident part of the prevailing global coronal mass transport. Methods: We rank and arrange all pixels of a monochromatic raster scan by radiance and define equally-sized bins of bright, faint, and medium-bright pixels. Comparing the bright pixels with the faint pixels, we determine the spectrally-resolved network contrast for 19 emission lines. We then compare the contrast centroids of these lines with the position of the line itself. We establish a relationship between the observed redshift of the network contrast with the line formation temperature. Results: We find that the network contrast is offset in wavelength compared to the emission line itself. This offset, if interpreted as redshift, peaks at middle transition region temperatures and is 10 times higher than the previously reported net redshift of transition region emission lines. We demonstrate that the brighter pixels are more redshifted, causing both a significant shift of the network contrast profile and the well-known net redshift. We show that this effect can be reconstructed from the radiance distribution. This result is compatible with loop models, which assume downflows near both footpoints.

An analysis of the penal experiences and social outcomes of Salford Hundred convicts transported from Britain to Van Diemen's Land between 1828 and 1837
Creators: name: Johnson, LD
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis is an analysis of the outcomes of the trials of 7,763 committals to the Salford Hundred quarter sessions between 1828 and 1837, and an examination of the penal and social experiences of 723 Salford Hundred convicts who were transported to Van Diemen's Land. It is presented in three parts. The first contains essential background: an historiographical survey of frameworks used by recent historians to explain convict behaviour; the methodology used to identify the convict cohort and analyse experiences; a description of distinguishing geographic, demographic, economic and social features of the Salford Hundred; and an account of the historic roles of quarter sessions, justices of the peace and the law on larceny as they affected trials in the Salford Hundred. The second part is a detailed statistical assessment of offences and offenders at Salford Hundred quarter sessions. It identifies some characteristics of the 7,763 people committed to trial and the 1,728 convicted felons sentenced to transportation, provides six basic tables which give quantitative assessments of offences, makes some historiographical evaluations, and compares the outcomes with similar historiographical examinations. A major feature which emerges is an unmistakable association between sentencing to transportation and previous criminal conduct. The third part describes social, economic and penal conditions in Van Diemen's Land, identifies some characteristics of the 723 Salford Hundred convicts actually transported, examines their social and penal experiences, identifies some important features of their behaviour, and makes comparisons between their criminal involvement prior to transportation and their experiences in Van Diemen's Land. This thesis concludes that sentences of transportation at the Salford Hundred quarter sessions were given to hardened and persistent criminals and not to occasional or accidental offenders; that women convicts were sentenced to transportation not because of their gender but because of their criminality; that there was less criminal behaviour in Van Diemen's Land than was commonly believed in Britain; that the Salford Hundred convicts generally responded favourably to their new circumstances in Van Diemen's Land; and that the transportation system in regard to Salford Hundred convicts was successful as a means of reformation.

It crystallizes in the layered tetragonal ZrCuSiAs type structure (sp gp P4/nmm) with lattice parameter of a = 3.9918(5) angstrom and c = 8.603(1) angstrom. A sharp superconducting transition is observed at 11.31 K with an upper critical field of 45.22 T at ambient pressure. The superconducting transition temperature is drastically lowered (~ 4.5, 4.9 K) on increasing the concentration (x = 0.15, 0.2) of cobalt.

description: The development of a radioimmunoassay for salmon calcitonin is described. Synthetic salmon calcitonin was iodinated with I(125) and used as tracer. The coated charcoal method, suitably modified, was employed to separate bound and free salmon calcitonin. Antisera were raised by intradermal and intramuscular injection of calcitonin conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin with carbodiimide. The sensitivity of the assay is 50 - 60 pg/ml of incubate. The disappearance of synthetic salmon calcitonin in rainbow trout was determined, illustrating two components, an initial rapid decline followed by a prolonged drop in concentration.

An exact analysis is given for the low-energy asymptotic behavior using conformal field theory for the undimerized state. In the dimerized state, the infrared absorption due to the bound state of two solitons, i.e, the breather mode, is predicted with an accurate estimate for its oscillator strength, offering a way to detect experimentally the excited singlet state. Effects of external magnetic fields are also discussed.

Nursing care given by general staff hospital nurses to a selected group of patients who had experienced a cerebrovascular accident
Creators: name: Patrick, Geraldine Grace Louise
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this study was to identify the nature of nursing care given by general staff hospital nurses to a selected group of patients who had experienced a cerebrovascular accident. Six hemiplegic patients who had experienced a cerebrovascular accident one to three weeks before the period of observation were selected for the study. The data were compiled from direct observations and from a nursing history which included an interview with the patient and/or his nearest relative, and data from his chart. The observed behaviour of twenty-nine general staff hospital nurses, six patients, and other members of the rehabilitation team were recorded in the form of anecdotal notes by the non-participating nurse-researcher. Each patient was observed for two days, the mean length of observation time per day was 6 hours and 49.4 minutes. The data were categorized into ten basic nursing care activities. Basic nursing care as defined by Henderson, meant helping the patient with activities related to his basic needs or providing conditions under which he could perform them unaided. The data were further organized into desirable activities, as outlined in the literature, and undesirable activities that were observed. It was demonstrated that many nurses in the study helped patients with most of the ten activities, however, few nurses provided conditions under which they could perform them unaided. Food and fluids were fed to patients who could have fed themselves with a little encouragement. Bowel and bladder training was not seen as an important factor in the care of the patient who had experienced a cerebrovascular accident. Nurses seldom included exercise during the bath and frequently left the patient in the chair for prolonged periods. Nurses demonstrated that they did not understand the importance of communication with patients who had experienced a cerebrovascular accident, nor did they appear to be aware of the concept of a rehabilitation team. The recommendations were: 1. that an orientation to the total picture of rehabilitation of the patient who had experienced a cerebrovascular accident, in the acute hospital, specialized unit and in the home, be provided for graduate general hospital nurses. 2. that existing knowledge in relation to the nurse's role in the rehabilitation of the patient who had experienced a cerebrovascular accident be compiled and made accessible to general staff hospital nurses. It is now primarily in journals that these nurses do not normally see. 3. that general staff hospital nurses learn to communicate more effectively with patients who have experienced a cerebrovascular accident, with their families and with other members of the rehabilitation team.
iJump: a fast tool for tracking bacterial mobile elements rearrangements in course of adaptive laboratory evolution
Creators: name: Leyn, Semen A.
Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited
Year: 2020

description: Mobile element rearrangement is a powerful mechanism of genome evolution. It may lead to gene inactivation or deregulation providing an important contribution to genetic adaptation. Mapping these structural rearrangements, such as “jumping” of IS elements in bacteria, represents a substantial computational challenge. While this challenge was addressed for individual microbial genomes, no efficient tools are available for tracking mobile element rearrangements in evolving populations, such as in course of adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE).

We are using ALE in custom-engineered continuous culture device (morbidostat) to study dynamics and mechanisms of antibiotic resistance in major gram-negative bacterial pathogens. Acquisition of mutations and structural rearrangements in evolving bacterial populations is monitored by deep sequencing of samples in time-series.
To observe evolutionary paths that are driven by genomic rearrangements IS elements we have developed the iJump software tool, which is using soft-clipped reads from the SAM/BAM alignment extracted from the boundaries of known mobile elements to find new junctions. The clipped parts are mapped back to the reference to find junction positions and frequencies estimation. The performance of iJump was first tested and optimized on a simulated data set where it showed 1-4% error in frequency estimation. Application of the iJump tool to our ALE studies with gram-negative bacteria, Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, confirmed its practical utility and revealed IS-driven genome rearrangements contributing to bacterial adaptation to known antibiotics and novel drug candidates. The obtained results were verified by Nanopore-based sequencing and MIC determination of selected individual clones.

description: When the surface plasmon resonance in a metal-nanoparticle chain is excited at one point, the response signal will generally decay down the chain due to absorption and radiation losses. The decay length is a key parameter in such plasmonic systems. By studying the plasmon lattice Green's function, we found that the decay length is generally governed by two exponential decay constants with phase factors corresponding to guided Bloch modes and one power-law decay with a phase factor corresponding to that of free space photons. The results show a high level of similarity between the absorptive and radiative decay channels. By analyzing the poles (and the corresponding residues) of the Green's function in a transformed complex reciprocal space, the dominant decay channel of the real-space Green's function is understood.

description: The time has never been more critical for drug-discovery data and innovative solutions development to open up its secrets for precision medicine to win the battle against Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19); a respiratory illness caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Despite many significant scientific and medical discoveries, the genetics of rare infectious diseases like COVID-19 remains far from clear. Our goal is to facilitate implementation of precision medicine to improve the traditional symptom-driven practice and tailoring better-personalized treatments, especially when dealing with pandemic situations. One challenge is to timely model clinical and genomics data to find statistical patterns across millions of features to identify underlying biologic pathways, modifiable risk factors and actionable information that supports early detection and prevention of COVID-19, and development of new therapies for better patient care. It is important to investigate correlation and overlapping between reported diagnoses of COVID-19 patients in clinical data with identified germline and somatic mutations, and highly expressed genes from genomics data analysis. We present a high volume clinical-genomics database accessed through an iOS application i.e. PAS, integrating information about classified diseases, genes, and germline and somatic mutations, including ACE2 and TMPRSS2, and other related to COVID-19.
MetaClean: A machine learning-based classifier for reduced false positive peak detection in untargeted LC-MS metabolomics data
Creators: name: Chetnik, Kelsey

description: Introduction
Despite the availability of several pre-processing software, poor peak integration remains a prevalent problem in untargeted metabolomics data generated using liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-MS). As a result, the output of these pre-processing software may retain incorrectly calculated metabolite abundances that can perpetuate in downstream analyses.

Objectives
To address this problem, we propose a computational methodology that combines machine learning and peak quality metrics to filter out low quality peaks.

Methods
Specifically, we comprehensively and systematically compared the performance of 27 different classifiers generated by combining nine classification algorithms and three sets of peak quality metrics on the task of distinguishing well-integrated peaks from poorly integrated ones.

Results
The best performing classifier was found to be a combination of the AdaBoost algorithm and a set of 12 peak quality metrics previously explored in untargeted metabolomics and proteomics studies. An R implementation of this classifier and the overall computational approach is available as the MetaClean package at https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/MetaClean/.

Conclusion
Our work represents an important step forward in developing an automated tool for filtering out low quality integrations in untargeted LC-MS metabolomics data.

description: (Abridged) The following describes a model of a broad planetary ring whose sharp edge is confined by a satellite's m^th Lindblad resonance (LR). This model uses a streamline formalism to calculate the ring's internal forces, namely, ring gravity, pressure, viscosity, as well as a hypothetical drag force. The model calculates the streamlines' forced orbit elements and surface density throughout the perturbed ring. The model is then applied to the outer edge of Saturn's B ring, which is maintained by an m=2 inner LR with the satellite Mimas. Ring models are used to illustrate how a ring's perturbed state depends on the ring's physical properties: surface density, viscosity, dispersion velocity, and the hypothetical drag force. A comparison of models to the observed outer B ring suggests that the ring's surface density there is between 10 and 280 gm/cm^2. The ring's edge also indicates where the viscous torque counterbalances the perturbing satellite's gravitational torque on the ring. But an examination of seemingly conventional viscous B ring models shows that they all fail to balance these torques at the ring's edge. This is due ring self-gravity and the fact that a viscous ring tends to be nearly peri-aligned with the satellite, which reduces the satellite's torque on the ring and makes the ring's edge more difficult to maintain. Nonetheless, the following shows that a torque balance can still be achieved in a viscous B ring, but only in an extreme case where the ratio of the ring's bulk/shear viscosities satisfy ~10^4. However, if the dissipation of the ring's forced motions is instead dominated by a weak drag force, then the satellite can exert a much stronger torque that can counterbalance the ring's viscous torque.

Although QUaD-only parameter constraints are not competitive with previous results for the standard 6-parameter LCDM cosmology, they do allow meaningful polarization-only parameter analyses for the first time. In a standard 6-parameter LCDM analysis we find the QUaD TT power spectrum to be in good agreement with previous results. However, the QUaD polarization data shows some tension with LCDM. The origin of this 1 to 2 sigma tension remains unclear, and may point to new physics, residual systematics or simple random chance. We also combine QUaD with the five-year WMAP data set and the SDSS Luminous Red Galaxies 4th data release power spectrum, and extend our analysis to constrain individual isocurvature mode fractions, constraining cold dark matter density, alpha(cdmi)<0.11 (95 % CL), neutrino density, alpha(ndi)<0.26 (95 % CL), and neutrino velocity, alpha(nvi)<0.23 (95 % CL), modes. Our analysis sets a benchmark for future polarization experiments.

description: We report on the electrical transport, magnetotransport, and magnetic properties studies on the transition metal dichalcogenides VSe$_2$ and VTe$_2$ and draw a comprehensive comparison between them. We observe Kondo effect in both systems induced by the exchange interaction between localized moments and conduction electrons at low temperature, resulting into resistance upturn at 6 K for VSe$_2$ and 17 K for VTe$_2$. From the field dependent resistance measurements we find that the data is fitted best with modified Hamann equation corrected by the quantum Brillouin function for VSe$_2$, while the data is fitted best with modified Hamann equation corrected by the classical Langevin function for VTe$_2$. Interestingly, we observe a contrasting magnetoresistance (MR) property between these systems across the Kondo temperature. That means, negative MR is found in both systems in the Kondo state. In the normal state MR is positive for VSe$_2$, while it is negligible for VTe$_2$. In addition, both systems show weak ferromagnetism at low temperature due to intercalated V atoms.

The MacMahon Master Theorem for right quantum superalgebras and higher Sugawara operators for $\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}}(m|n)$

description: We prove an analogue of the MacMahon Master Theorem for the right quantum superalgebras. In particular, we obtain a new and simple proof of this theorem for the right quantum algebras. In the super case the theorem is then used to construct higher order Sugawara operators for the affine Lie superalgebra $\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}}(m|n)$ in an explicit form. The operators are elements of a completed universal enveloping algebra of $\widehat{\mathfrak{gl}}(m|n)$ at the critical level. They occur as the coefficients in the expansion of a noncommutative Berezinian and as the traces of powers of generator matrices. The same construction yields higher Hamiltonians for the Gaudin model associated with the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{gl}(m|n)$. We also use the Sugawara operators to produce algebraically independent generators of the algebra of singular vectors of any generic Verma module at the critical level over the affine Lie superalgebra.

An investigation into the metrical structure of "Paradise Lost".
Creators: name: Brown, Allan Gordon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This is a preliminary investigation of the empirical and formal conditions necessary to provide a full description of the metrical structure of Paradise Lost. My study is immediately concerned with the scansion of a corpus of 2018 lines of the poem. The centre of the study is the specification of a generative model set to provide structural descriptions, i.e., scansions. Some anomalies of this model are considered in the final chapter. A scansion is recorded for each line in the corpus. I provide an impressionistic survey of lexical and syntactic phenomena in the corpus, an analysis of equivalence-substitution metrical analysis, a taxonomy of elision by apocope in the corpus, a brief investigation of elision by syncope and a speculative analysis of caesura.
'I could hardly speak' : dialogues in the poetry of Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes
Creators: name: Imbuido, IA
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis examines an extraordinary dialogue between the poets Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes. My methodology uses Hughes's Birthday Letters as a limit case when approaching Plath's oeuvre, focussing on intertextual examples that solidify my arguments of a dialogue which began when the poets met and continued after Plath's death. Often a dialogue is signalled when a poem by each writer shares the same title. On other occasions, a shared biographical event is re-visioned separately by Plath and Hughes. Though I refer to biographical material when relevant, my focus is on the poetry. Working through a theory of dialoguic intertextuality ‚ÄövÑvÆ arrived at through Charles Balditin's dialogic theory, Julia Kristeva's theory of intertextuality and Gerard Genette's theories of metatextuality and hypertextuality ‚ÄövÑvÆ I define dialoguic intertextuality as a sequential and subjective interchange of ideas between texts and the authors of those texts. The text, part of the author's created personae, replaces or supplements conversations that refer to a known and shared system of knowledge ‚ÄövÑvÆ biographical events, for example ‚ÄövÑvÆ thus becoming further embedded in a subsequent text. This thesis questions several of Hughes's decisions as Plath's literary executor, uncovering instances of dubious textual borrowing and even theft. I argue that Hughes, when compared with Plath, is far more strident in representing the couple's power struggles over textual ownership, and gender and national difference. Their work addresses creation and creativity (particularly creation of life versus creation of poetry), birth, death and rebirth. The poets' preoccupations with parental roles and the suppression and revelation of perceived truths in their poetry are also discussed. Hughes often inserted biographical elements in his poetry that are all but obscured in Plath's work. While Hughes's poetry insists on his version of truth about key events of their lives, Plath's poetry resists his readings. As a tangible outcome of their dialogue, these insistences and resistances form the foundation of this thesis.

description: Classical block designs are important combinatorial structures with a wide range of applications in Computer Science and Statistics. Here we give a new abstract description of block designs based on the arrow category construction. We show that models of this structure in the category of matrices and natural numbers recover the traditional classical combinatorial objects, while models in the category of completely positive maps yield a new definition of quantum designs. We show that this generalizes both a previous notion of quantum designs given by Zauner and the traditional description of block designs. Furthermore, we demonstrate that there exists a functor which relates every categorical block design to a quantum one.
