description: This study has examined the transformational change process underway in the education system of British Columbia, Canada, which is likely to be a long-term process. This study examined how superintendents in British Columbia are attempting to implement the provincially mandated transformational change (the B.C. Education Plan) while dealing with factors identified in this study’s data that affect the implementation. Having identified the challenges to implementation, the study examined what the study’s superintendents have done, or failed to do, that has influenced the Plan’s adoption in B.C. schools. By surveying the superintendents of the province, and analyzing the data, it was possible to determine the important features that support the early stages of implementation. These features include strong leadership at all levels with a clear vision of what is needed in the way of change in schools and classrooms both in structure and pedagogy. The role of school principals and teacher leaders stood out as important in successful implementation. Given the adversarial nature of the B.C. Teachers Federation and the provincial government, it was interesting to note that superintendents feel that local relationships are good enough to support ongoing implementation processes. As with most change processes, this one will take a great deal of time because its scope is large; however, leaders can make priorities in some areas that will improve the success of their implementation at the district level.

description: The dynamics of the upper mesosphere of Venus (~85-115 km) have been characterized as a combination of a retrograde superrotating zonal wind (RSZ) with a subsolar-to-antisolar flow (SSAS). Numerous mm-wave single-dish observations have been obtained and could directly measure mesospheric line-of-sight winds by mapping Doppler-shifts on CO rotational lines, but their limited spatial resolution makes their interpretation difficult. By using interferometric facilities, one can obtain better resolution on Doppler-shifts maps, allowing in particular to put firmer constraints on the respective contributions of the SSAS and RSZ circulations to the global mesospheric wind field. We report on interferometric observations of the CO(1-0) line obtained with the IRAM-Plateau de Bure interferometer in November 2007 and June 2009, that could map the upper mesosphere dynamics on the morning hemisphere with a very good spatial resolution (3.5-5.5"). All the obtained measurements show, with a remarkably good temporal stability, that the wind globally flows in the (sky) East-West direction, corresponding in the observed geometry either to an unexpected prograde zonal wind or a SSAS flow. A very localized inversion of the wind direction, that could correspond to a RSZ wind, is also repeatedly detected in the night hemisphere. The presence of significant meridional winds is not evidenced. Using models with different combinations of zonal and SSAS winds, we find that the data is best reproduced by a dominant SSAS flow with a maximal velocity at the terminator of ~200 m/s, displaying large diurnal and latitudinal asymmetries, combined with an equatorial RSZ wind of 70-100 m/s, overall indicating a wind-field structure consistent with but much more complex than the usual representation of the mesospheric dynamics.

description: Absolute cross sections for the K-shell photoionization of ground-state Li-like boron [B$^{2+}$(1s$^2$2s $^2$S)] ions were measured by employing the ion-photon merged-beams technique at the Advanced Light Source synchrotron radiation facility. The energy ranges 197.5--200.5 eV, 201.9--202.1 eV of the [1s(2s\,2p)$^3$P]$^2$P${\rm ^o}$ and [1s(2s\,2p)$^1$P] $^2$P${\rm ^o}$ resonances, respectively, were investigated using resolving powers of up to 17\,600. The energy range of the experiments was extended to about 238.2 eV yielding energies of the most prominent [1s(2$\ell$\,n$\ell^{\prime}$)]$^2$P$^o$ resonances with an absolute accuracy of the order of 130 ppm. The natural linewidths of the [1s(2s\,2p)$^3$P] $^2$P${\rm ^o}$ and [1s(2s\,2p)$^1$P] $^2$P${\rm ^o}$ resonances were measured to be $4.8 \pm 0.6$ meV and $29.7 \pm 2.5$ meV, respectively, which compare favourably with theoretical results of 4.40 meV and 30.53 meV determined using an intermediate coupling R-matrix method.

Emulsion electrospinning of nanocrystalline cellulose reinforced nanocomposite fibres
Creators: name: Li, Yingjie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Cellulose is the most abundant renewable and biodegradable natural polymer. Cellulose can release nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC). NCC is light-weight, biodegradable and strong. The strength of NCC is about 10 GPa, which is almost three times stronger than commercial high performance fibre such as Kevlar® and Spectra®. In order to realize the utmost translation of NCCs’ extraordinary properties to higher order structures, it is necessary to accomplish a well-controlled alignment and tailored distribution of NCCs within a matrix. However, it is challenging to achieve this goal since NCCs tend to agglomerate in matrix materials. To address this problem in the present study, NCC water- in-oil (W/O) emulsions were prepared, consisting of a drop phase of NCC aqueous suspension and a continuous phase of immiscible poly (lactic acid) (PLA) solution. NCC W/O PLA emulsions were electrospun into NCC reinforced nanocomposite fibres. The concept of emulsion electrospinning of NCCs is based on that (1) NCC can be stably and uniformly dispersed in the intermediate medium water; (2) NCC aqueous suspension can be dispersed in the form of droplets into the immiscible solutions of PLA solution system; and (3) the well dispersed NCC / PLA emulsion can be electrospun into fibres. In this work, to better control electrospinning of NCC/PLA emulsions, we started with electrospinning of W/O PLA emulsions consisting of a drop phase of distilled water and a continuous phase of hydrophobic PLA solution. This emulsion formulation for electrospinning was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) to identify the optimal conditions for W/O PLA electrospinning. After optimizing the W/O PLA emulsion electrospinning process, the feasibility of the emulsion electrospinning of NCC W/O PLA was confirmed and the emulsion electrospun 5% NCC/ 8% PLA random fibre mats and aligned fibre yarns were collected. The distribution and alignment of NCCs in fibres were verified. The morphology, structure and properties of resultant fibres were characterized. The mechanism of the formation of fibre structure (core-shell and hollow) was also proposed and validated by the study of emulsion droplet size effect on fibre structure.

description: An icon-city is a city where a pervasive narrative about an iconic event or figure is intentionally and explicitly attached to an urban space – an action that supplies the city with symbolic meaning because it is staged and experienced as the city of the specific icon. In this article, the focus of attention is on an icon-city where the icon is a historical person, namely the author Hans Christian Andersen and his city of birth, Odense. The article presents the concept icon-city as a setting for glocal heritage tourism and situates it as an analytical object for cultural studies. Thus, the icon-city is contemplated as an experiencescape where people represent themselves through the connection between the icon and the urban space. Methodically, the discourse analytical concept affective practice is put to use as a sensitizing concept in an analysis of the inauguration of the itinerary “Hans Christian Andersen’s Odense”. In the analysis, three significant themes are identified as pivotal research themes in studies of literary icon-cities: Ownership, authenticity and fictionalization of urban space.

description: Graphs are ubiquitous representations of data that are used in many applications. Our goal in this thesis is to explore the use of alternative aesthetics to visualize graphs. Graphs are de ned as entities (nodes) and relationships (edges) between entities, and may have extra attributes such as weight. We have designed three novel graph layouts and their applications in graph visualization. These layouts were inspired by decorative artworks and patterns, personally selected from di erent types of aesthetics. The rst graph visualization is Node-Ring whose layout was inspired by Australian dot painting and Hundertwassers paintings. In this layout, concentric circles are used for an implicit representation of edges for visualizing dense graphs. The second graph visualization is Daisy Vis inspired by ornamental patterns of daisy owers. In this visualization graphs' attributes are mapped to oral elements. We use Daisy Vis for visualizing ecological networks of real ecosystem data-sets by supporting speci c attributes of ecological networks (e.g. input/output edges, respiration). Our third graph visualization is Eco-Spiro, speci cally designed for ecological networks. The layout used for this visualization is a modi cation of Spirograph, which is another novel graph layout introduced in this thesis. In Spirograph layout all nodes are arranged on a large circle (boundary circle) which divides the space to the internal and external regions, a natural way to support external and internal edges of ecological networks. The circular form of Spirograph used in Eco-Spiro has an organic form for showing the closeness of ecosystem and for separating the environment into its internal and external spaces. To evaluate our novel graph visualizations, we conducted three user studies. Participants' feedback support the overall design for all three visualizations. Furthermore, they provided us with useful comments about our design decisions to improve our visualizations.

description: We have considered a system of equidistant polaritonic states, interacting with an electromagnetic field of a localized THz cavity mode. An accumulation of photons in a THz cavity mode together with bosonic stimulation of the transition between polariton levels induces intensive radiative scattering of polaritons. The concept of double bosonic stimulation of a radiative transition in a bosonic cascade laser (BCL) is formulated, and the possibility of the use of a BCL for the emission of THz radiation is investigated. The system demonstrates threshold-like behaviour and, above threshold, cascade radiative transitions of polaritons which leads to an increase of quantum efficiency, which can exceed unity. The interaction of polaritons with a reservoir leads to an increase in the threshold pumping rate and a decrease of quantum efficiency.

description: The article is based on ethnographic fieldwork carried out on behalf of a research project about the Swedish startup/internet community and suggests that the 1990s can be seen as an iconic period of time for the Swedish Internet scene. It is argued that mental associations and imaginations associated with the 1990s are still relevant for the intellectual construction of the present-day internet-scene through providing a framework for the making of a space in Michel de Certeau’s sense of the word. The article presents reoccurring themes from the interviews with the informants, highlighted as examples of important stories about the 1990s that are active in constructing the framework for the organization of later experiences.

description: Abstract Introduction: The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada’s (SOGC) goal of prenatal care is to “reduce perinatal mortality and morbidity, while supporting women’s medical, social and psychological needs.” Research objective: To describe the association between a) maternal characteristics and care provider, and b) between prenatal care (PNC) utilization and risk of postpartum depression (PPD). Methods: Questionnaires administered (N=1347) twice during pregnancy and at four months postpartum measured risk of PPD. PNC utilization was compared to scores on the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression scale, controlling for known risk factors. Results: Adequacy of prenatal care was not related to PPD. Women with lower income were more likely to have received inadequate prenatal care. Differences were observed among women who received their prenatal care from different providers. Conclusion: The lack of evidence of an association between adequate PNC utilization and PPD suggests that there may be missed opportunities to support women’s psychological needs.
Synchronised firing induced by network dynamics in excitable systems

description: We study the collective dynamics of an ensemble of coupled identical FitzHugh--Nagumo elements in their excitable regime. We show that collective firing, where all the elements perform their individual firing cycle synchronously, can be induced by random changes in the interaction pattern. Specifically, on a sparse evolving network where, at any time, each element is connected with at most one partner, collective firing occurs for intermediate values of the rewiring frequency. Thus, network dynamics can replace noise and connectivity in inducing this kind of self-organised behaviour in highly disconnected systems which, otherwise, wouldn't allow for the spreading of coherent evolution.

description: On December 6, 2010, the Province of Manitoba announced that it would be introducing Bill 13: The Preparing Students for Success Act, “aimed at better preparing students to succeed in school and beyond” (“Minister introduces,” 2010, para. 1). This bill amended The Public Schools Act with the purpose of raising the compulsory school age from 16 to 18 in Manitoba. The accompanying Learning to Age 18 Regulation was also established to provide superintendents with opportunities to provide alternative programming for students who want to remain in school, but choose to pursue an alternative curriculum. The Act came into force on September 6, 2011. Manitoba is the third province in Canada, following New Brunswick and Ontario that increased the compulsory school leaving age to 18 in response to students leaving school before completing their high school education. The Preparing Students for Success Act 2011 “would require school boards to establish policies and procedures to support students in remaining engaged in school or in activities and programs which provide educational benefits” (“Minister introduces,” 2010, para. 3). The purpose of this study was to investigate how educators and administrators in three Manitoba schools interpreted and implemented this legislation’s mandate. This qualitative inquiry provides an analysis of this legislation from a single case, multi-site study. In addition, the analytical basis of grounded theory methodology supported this research inquiry by offering recommendations and conclusions from the findings of my research.

description: For holographic gratings recorded in superparamagnetic nanoparticle-polymer composites the diffraction efficiency should -- next to grating spacing, nanoparticle concentration and grating thickness -- depend on the strength of an external magnetic field and the incident neutron spin state. As a consequence, diffraction gratings should be tunable to act as mirrors for one spin state, while being essentially transparent for the other. Thus, polarizing beam splitters for cold neutrons become feasible.

A Study on Efficient Vector Mapping With Vector Tiles Based on Cloud Server Architecture

Subjects: subject: Geotechnology

description: In web mapping, transmitting large vector data over the Internet has been a challenging issue over the past decade. A method for delivering large vector data in small pieces is known as vector tiling. Generally, studies of traditional vector tile based methods in Web-mapping applications were limited to simple single server-client architecture with GeoJSON encoded vector tiles. However, problems such as limited scalability and inefficient vector tile transmission arose in these studies. To solve these problems, a distributed memory caching implementation has been proposed using cloud architecture. This study also explored the transmission efficiency of three vector tile encoding formats: GeoJSON, TopoJSON, and Google Protocol Buffers. A prototype of the Canada road network vector map was developed. The results of this study show that the proposed solution improves the application performance and is scalable in comparison to naïve architecture.

description: Research from science and technology studies (STS) has called for increased public participation and representation in science and technology that often challenges the boundary between expert and lay knowledge. While many scholars have focused on governance and formal interventions, this thesis attends to how laypersons participate in shaping technoscience of their own accord. Contextualized by a broader communications studies approach, the study’s theoretical framework builds on science governance discussions regarding the nature of expertise by applying the model of coproduction and the concepts of tinkering and care to settings of spontaneous, user-based participation. To access these settings, this thesis examines laypersons’ negotiation of multiple medical realities in their (self)care practices through the lens of two communities: the online social network of the website, Running Mania, and the face-to-face running group, the Red Deer Runners Club. The ethnographic methods include participant observation of the Running Mania injury forum and thirty-seven email/face-to-face interviews. The findings indicate that this collective running practice shapes runners’ reflexive understanding of medical expertise, which often challenges the sociocultural biases of the supposedly “objective” institutional framing of medical discourse. Running bodies are the site of multiple sources of mediated expertise that articulate with their caring practices: healthcare and medical professionals, running-specific social networks, and website/print sources. Within the running collective, lay expertise and medical expertise join to coproduce a hybrid discourse of care, particularly in settings of controversy. As individuals, participants negotiate multiple medical realities in the lived experience of their (self)care practices by tinkering with technologies, bodies, and multiple expert discourses. Using runners as a lens, the thesis demonstrates how laypersons participate with expertise as they (re)produce medical knowledge in their everyday practices. It also challenges determinist approaches to communications technology by illustrating the subtle ways in which processes of mediation are implicated in the sharing and (re)production of this expertise. Finally, it calls for increased reflexivity from healthcare providers and attentive experimentation in the enactment of “good” care.

description: Provisional changes of the well-known Google logo have been a recurring phenomenon on the front page of the search engine since 1998. Google calls them “doodles”. The doodles are variations of the Google logo that celebrate famous individuals or cultural events, but the doodles also point to the iconic status of the Google logo as a locus of creativity and reinterpretation. The article explores the iconic status of the Google logo as expressed in the doodles. On the basis of a multimodal typographic analysis of a sample of Google’s doodles from 1998 to 2013, the article identifies different types of relations between the well-known Google letters and the new graphic features. The article examines how these relations produce and communicate brand iconicity, and how this iconicity has developed from a typographic perspective.

description: Lifestyle magazines do not just communicate consumer-oriented fashion and lifestyle in the fashion editorial. On the contrary, it often functions as a tool for the magazine to orchestrate its cultural identity and this way it can be perceived as the magazine’s work of art. As an autonomous work of art it involves the reader by a vast use of iconic references, which draws on a comprehensive variety of historical, literary, cultural as well as artistic icons, symbols and representations. These are staged delicately, ironically, sexualized and aesthetically and they function as a visual appetizer as well as a challenge of decoding for the reader. This article argues that the use of iconic representations mirrors the reader and his intellectual competence and this argument is based on an analysis of fashion photographs taken from a fashion editorial from the Danish lifestyle magazine for men, Euroman.

description: The Maker Movement aims to democratize technological practices and promises many benefits for people including improved technical literacy, a means for self-expression and agency, and an opportunity to become more than consumers of technology. As part of the Maker Movement, people build hobbyist and utilitarian projects by themselves using programmable electronics (e.g., microcontroller, sensors, actuators) and software tools. While the Maker Movement is gaining momentum globally, some people are left out. Constraints such as material limitations, educational culture restrictions, and emotional or behavioral difficulties can often limit people from taking part in the Maker Movement. We refer to the systematic investigation of how diverse people respond to making-centered activities within constraints as an exploration of making within constraints. In this dissertation, we (1) study how people respond to creating physical objects by themselves within constraints and, (2) investigate how to design technology that can help makers within constraints. We conducted an observational study in an impoverished school in India and identified the students' challenges and their strategies for making within material and educational culture constraints. We conducted a second study with at-promise youth in Canada and identified a set of lessons learned to engage youth within emotional and behavioral constraints in making-centered activities. Leveraging our observations, we proposed Augmented Reality (AR)-mediated prototyping as a way to address material constraints. AR-mediated prototyping can help makers to build, program, interact with and iterate on physical computing projects that combine both real-world and stand-in virtual electronic components. We designed, implemented, and evaluated a technology probe, Polymorphic Cube (PMC), as an instance of our vision. Our results show that PMC helped participants prototype despite missing I/O electronic components, and highlighted how AR-mediated prototyping extends to exploring project ideas, tinkering with implementation, and making with others. Informed by our empirical and design explorations, we suggest a set of characteristics of constraints and implications for designing future technologies for makers within constraints. In the long-term, we hope that this research will inspire interaction designers to develop new tools that can help resolve constraints for making.

description: In the spectra of pulsating stars, especially Mira stars, the detection of intense hydrogen emission lines has been explained by a radiative shock wave, periodically propagating throughout the atmosphere. Previous observation of the Mira star omicron Ceti around a bright maximum of light led to the detection of a strong linear polarization associated to Balmer emissions, although the origin of this phenomenon is not fully explained yet. With the help of spectropolarimetry, we propose to investigate the nature of shock waves propagating throughout the stellar atmosphere and present, for omicron Ceti (the prototype of Mira stars), a full observational study of hydrogen emission lines formed in the radiative region of such a shock. Using the instrument NARVAL, we performed a spectropolarimetric monitoring of omicron Ceti during three consecutive pulsation cycles. All Stokes parameters were systematically collected, with a particular emphasis on the maxima of luminosity, i.e. when a radiative shock wave is supposed to emerge from the photosphere and propagate outward. On Balmer lines, over a large part of the luminosity cycle, we report detections in Stokes spectra which are evolving with time. These signatures appear to be strongly correlated to the presence of an intense shock wave responsible for the hydrogen emission lines. We establish that those lines are polarized by a process inherent to the mechanism responsible for the emission line formation: the shock wave itself. Two mechanisms are considered: a global one that implies a polarization induced by convective cells located around the photosphere and a local one that implies a charge separation due to the passage of the shock wave, inducing an electrical current. Combined with the existing turbulence, this may generate a magnetic field, hence polarization.

Cognitive Reactivity in Depression: Examining a Hypothesis of Depressive Relapse
Creators: name: Ching, Laurie
Publisher: name: Graduate Studies

Subjects: subject: Psychology--Clinical
subject: Depression
subject: Cognitive Reactivity
subject: Relapse

description: The burden of depression is exacerbated by its chronic and recurrent nature, as studies have estimated that on average, individuals with depression will experience five to nine depressive episodes in their lifetime, with the risk of relapse increasing with each consecutive episode. The differential activation hypothesis proposes that an individual’s heightened risk of relapse with each episode is due to cognitive reactivity to changes in depressed mood. With cognitive reactivity, the association between negative cognitive patterns and depressed mood is strengthened with each consecutive episode, such that milder negative events or dysphoric moods are required to re-activate negative thinking patterns. Once activated, maladaptive cognitive patterns likely play a key role to intensify depressed mood and potentially trigger relapse. The current study examined the hypothesis that cognitive reactivity varies as a function of depression chronicity. More specifically, the study explored whether individuals with more chronic depression would be more likely to engage in ruminative and negative thinking patterns following a negative mood induction procedure than individuals with less chronic depression. The results of the study indicated that in a sample of recurrently depressed participants in remission, both groups evidenced cognitive reactivity in a low mood state; however, this activation of rumination and negative thinking did not differ based on chronicity, despite adoption of multiple definitions of chronicity. These findings call into question the use of the cognitive reactivity hypothesis to explain the increased risk of relapse with consecutive depressive episodes. The current study provides a unique contribution to the literature, as it represents the first examination of cognitive reactivity as a function of chronicity. The implications of the study, the strengths and limitations of the current research, and the directions for future research are discussed.

Exploring Potential Applications of the Sharpe Hollow Cavity Model, the Gaussian Ball Source Model, and the Heelan Cylindrical Model in Modeling Explosive Pressure Sources

description: This thesis investigates the potential applications of the Sharpe Hollow Cavity Model (SHCM), the Gaussian Ball Source Model (GBSM), and the Heelan Cylindrical Model (HCM) in modelling explosive pressure sources. Each of these models account for the non-linear nature of wave propagation near an explosive source by mathematically altering the conditions around the source, and replacing it with a model that is more easily understood. Both the SHCM and the HCM replace the source with a hollow cavity, within which waves do not behave linearly, and elastic waves are assumed to emanate directly from the surface of the cavity. The GBSM does not use a cavity and replaces the explosion with a Gaussian ball; elastic waves are then assumed to emanate from a point in space. Each of these models were able to make reasonably accurate predictions about the nature of dynamite data measured in the field.

National regeneration potential of Douglas-fir following wildfire and clearcut harvesting

description: The McLure fire of August, 2003, affected over 26,000 hectares in the interior of British Columbia. The study objective was to determine the impact of wildfire and clearcutting severity on Douglas-fir regeneration potential in the Interior Douglas-fir biogeoclimatic zone. The study design consisted of five treatments that compared a range of disturbance severities: high severity burn, low severity burn, clearcut, screefed clearcut, and undisturbed forest. At each of four replicate sites per treatment, 1000 seeds were sown in late spring of 2004. Natural regeneration potential was assessed by measuring seedling performance and mycorrhizal diversity over a three-year period. Overall, the treatments with the greatest disturbance severity had the greatest natural regeneration potential due to increased resource availability. Seedling survival was considerably higher in the burn and clearcut treatments than the undisturbed forest. Seedlings in the high severity burn had significantly greater shoot height, biomass, and foliar N and P content than those in the clearcut treatments. Seedlings regenerating in the burn treatments had the lowest ectomycorrhizal colonization in the first growing season but all seedlings in all treatments were colonized by the start of the second growing season. Increased disturbance severity, either by wildfire or clearcutting, led to a uniform ectomycorrhizal community dominated by Wilcoxina sp. In contrast, the undisturbed forest was dominated by a more diverse ectomycorrhizal community. The simplification of the ectomycorrhizal community did not negatively affect seedling growth or survival. The highest biomass accumulation and foliar nitrogen content occurred in the high severity burn and were associated with the lowest levels of mycorrhizal colonization and diversity. This supports the hypothesis that plants reduce their carbon investment in mycorrhizal fungi when growing under favorable conditions. Overall, the results indicate that, given a seed source, the natural regeneration potential of Douglas-fir is high after both wildfire and clearcut harvesting.

description: New calculations of the energy levels, radiative transition rates and collisional excitation rates of \ion{Fe}{ix} have been carried out using the Flexible Atomic Code, paying close attention to experimentally identified levels and extending existing calculations to higher energy levels. For lower levels, R-matrix collisional excitation rates from earlier work have been used. Significant emission is predicted by these calculations in the 5f-3d transitions, which will impact analysis of SDO AIA observations using the 94Å filter.
