Threadscapes : local fibres, local futures
Creators: name: Jain, Sheena
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: With Global textile production soaring more than 50% in the last two decades, the contemporary Fashion industry stands as a significant environmental and social exploiter worldwide. Unveiling the pitfalls of globalized mass production and consumer detachment from clothing production, this graduate research project explores the intersection between fabrics and Landscape Architecture by advocating for a regional textile system that localizes the production and processing of natural textiles in Metro Vancouver. Threadscapes is a speculative design exploration that introduces fibre gardens in various typologies of unutilized urban spaces that provide opportunities for the public to see and explore the uses of plants in clothing creation, reminding us of our natural roots to clothing. Besides providing a design proposal, the speculative project is also meant to act as a call for participation out to the public, to join an initiative in their neighborhoods to move towards slow fashion, towards a renewable clothing future, to be able to connect to the land they live on and the fabric they wear in their everyday lives.

description: Purpose- The purpose of this research is to examine the influence of dining experience (developed from food quality, service quality, physical environment, and price) on dining satisfaction (developed from cognitive and affective factors) in the context of emerging fast fine-dining restaurants (FFDRs); to test the effect of customers’ dining satisfaction on word of mouth (WoM) marketing; and to examine the moderating effect of dining-out behaviour.Design/methodology/approach- Data were collected from 294 foreign diners dining in ethnic- based fast fine-dining restaurants (FFDRs) and analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling using SmartPLS software.Findings- The results indicate that dining experience has a significant influence on dining satisfaction which leads to higher WoM. The results also show that dining-out behaviour moderates negatively on the relationship between dining satisfaction and WoM.Practical Implications- This study contributes to the body of knowledge on food services by understanding the predictors of dining experience and the potential impacts of marketing tactic variables, specifically in the context of FFDRs.Originality- The study specifies that restaurant attributes are the primary features that influence customer satisfaction; however, customers need to be delighted to promote restaurants.

description: Recent work examining health and well-being has identified people’s group memberships as important contributors to positive life outcomes. Social identification with these groups, in particular, has been identified as a powerful positive predictor of psychological well-being. In the current thesis I present five studies, two correlational, two experimental and one overarching study which combined the data from the preceding studies. Each of these studies expands upon this earlier work from within the social identity approach to understanding psychological well-being by examining not only people’s relative levels of social identification with their groups, but their perceptions of their own relative in-group prototypicality within these groups. Building explicitly upon self-categorization theory principles, the results of these five studies demonstrate that: (1) perceived self-in-group prototypicality can be measured separately from social identification with a group, and that (2) these two combine multiplicatively, so that people who have both high social identification and high perceptions of self-in-group prototypicality also have the highest level of psychological well-being on several psychological well-being outcome measures. This latter effect occurs even after controlling for known factors related to these outcomes, including age, gender and major life stressors. Overall, this thesis provides evidence for the first time that perceived self-in-group prototypicality contributes to predicting whether a social group may be beneficial to an individual’s psychological well-being. The theoretical and clinical implications of the findings of this thesis are then discussed in relation to the social factors in the biopsychosocial model of psychological well-being.
Macroscopic Observables

description: We study macroscopic observables defined as the total value of a physical quantity over a collection of quantum systems. We show that previous results obtained for infinite ensemble of identically prepared systems lead to incorrect conclusions for finite ensembles. In particular, exact measurement of a macroscopic observable significantly disturbs the state of any finite ensemble. However, we show how this disturbance can be made arbitrarily small when the measurement are of finite accuracy. We demonstrate a tradeoff between state disturbance and measurement coarseness as a function of the size of the ensemble. Using this tradeoff, we show that the histories generated by any sequence of finite accuracy macroscopic measurements always generate a consistent family in the absence of large scale entanglement, for sufficiently large ensembles. Hence, macroscopic observables behave "classically" provided that their accuracy is coarser than the quantum correlation length-scale of the system. The role of these observable is also discussed in the context of NMR quantum information processing and bulk ensemble quantum state tomography.

description: A review is given of phase properties in molecular wave functions, composed of a number of (and, at least, two) electronic states that become degenerate at some nearby values of the nuclear configuration. Apart from discussing phases and interference in classical (non-quantal) systems, including light-waves, the review looks at the constructability of complex wave functions from observable quantities ("the phase problem"), at the controversy regarding quantum mechanical phase-operators, at the modes of observability of phase and at the role of phases in some non-demolition measurements. Advances in experimental and (especially) theoretical aspects of Aharonov-Bohm and topological (Berry) phases are described, including those involving two-electron and relativistic systems. Several works in the phase control and revivals of molecular wave-packets are cited as developments and applications of complex-function theory. Further topics that this review touches on are: coherent states, semiclassical approximations and the Maslov index. The interrelation between time and the complex state is noted in the contexts of time delays in scattering, of time-reversal invariance and of the existence of a molecular time-arrow.

description: Machine learning (especially reinforcement learning) methods for trading are increasingly reliant on simulation for agent training and testing. Furthermore, simulation is important for validation of hand-coded trading strategies and for testing hypotheses about market structure. A challenge, however, concerns the robustness of policies validated in simulation because the simulations lack fidelity. In fact, researchers have shown that many market simulation approaches fail to reproduce statistics and stylized facts seen in real markets. As a step towards addressing this we surveyed the literature to collect a set of reference metrics and applied them to real market data and simulation output. Our paper provides a comprehensive catalog of these metrics including mathematical formulations where appropriate. Our results show that there are still significant discrepancies between simulated markets and real ones. However, this work serves as a benchmark against which we can measure future improvement.

description: Using the natural connection equivalent to the SU(2) Yang-Mills instanton on the quaternionic Hopf fibration of $S^7$ over the quaternionic projective space ${\bf HP}^1\simeq S^4$ with an $SU(2)\simeq S^3$ fiber the geometry of entanglement for two qubits is investigated. The relationship between base and fiber i.e. the twisting of the bundle corresponds to the entanglement of the qubits. The measure of entanglement can be related to the length of the shortest geodesic with respect to the Mannoury-Fubini-Study metric on ${\bf HP}^1$ between an arbitrary entangled state, and the separable state nearest to it. Using this result an interpretation of the standard Schmidt decomposition in geometric terms is given. Schmidt states are the nearest and furthest separable ones lying on, or the ones obtained by parallel transport along the geodesic passing through the entangled state. Some examples showing the correspondence between the anolonomy of the connection and entanglement via the geometric phase is shown. Connections with important notions like the Bures-metric, Uhlmann's connection, the hyperbolic structure for density matrices and anholonomic quantum computation are also pointed out.

description: A geometric phase is found for a general quantum state that undergoes adiabatic evolution. For the case of eigenstates, it reduces to the original Berry's phase. Such a phase is applicable in both linear and nonlinear quantum systems. Furthermore, this new phase is related to Hannay's angles as we find that these angles, a classical concept, can arise naturally in quantum systems. The results are demonstrated with a two-level model.

description: Historically, the apparel sector has been shrouded in secrecy and mystique, using this to generate an impression of exclusivity and glamour. As the tragic Rana Plaza building collapse in Dhaka, Bangladesh in 2013 showed (in which well over 1,000 workers died manufacturing clothing for many major western brands) the reality is anything but. The aftermath of the Rana Plaza disaster shone a light on how few brands were aware of where their products were being manufactured, let alone the conditions in which they were being made. In response to this, a growing trend has developed for supply chain disclosure in the apparel sector, spurred on by groups such as the Transparency Pledge coalition and Fashion Revolution. However, in response to these calls for greater transparency, supply chain disclosure has been inconsistent, difficult to track from one website to another and data is often locked away in non-machine readable formats such as PDFs or tables embedded in websites. A lack of standard formatting for information as basic as name and address data (coupled with the poor quality of this data) makes it difficult and costly for anyone to compare across datasets and understand shared connections to facilities. Data has been stuck in silos and lacked a universal, central ID through which systems could synchronize, making interoperability between systems impossible. Enter the Open Apparel Registry (OAR). The OAR was launched in March 2019 to address this data challenge. At its heart, the OAR exists to drive improvements in data quality for the benefit of all stakeholders in the apparel sector. As well as many other efficiency and process benefits, the way the OAR organizes and presents data ultimately improves the lives of some of the most vulnerable workers in global supply chains. During this talk, we shared details about the challenges facing the apparel sector, including low levels of technical sophistication and understanding of open data; collaborative work that’s being done to educate the sector on the power of open data, including the launch of the Open Data Standard for the Apparel Sector (ODSAS); before finishing up with inspiring examples of how data from the Open Apparel Registry being freely shared and used is creating meaningful changes in the lives of some of global society’s most oppressed people.
TeV-peaked candidate BL Lac objects

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: BL Lac objects can be extreme in two ways: with their synchrotron emission, peaking beyond 1 keV in their spectral energy distribution, or with their gamma-ray emission, peaking at multi-TeV energies up to and beyond 10-20 TeV, like 1ES 0229+200. This second type of extreme BL Lacs --which we can name "TeV-peaked BL Lacs" is not well explained by the usual synchrotron self-Compton scenarios for BL Lacs. These sources are also important as probes for the intergalactic diffuse infrared background and cosmic magnetic fields, as well as possible sites of production of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays and neutrinos. However, all these studies are hindered by their still very limited number. Here I propose a new, simple criterium to select the best candidates for TeV observations, specifically aimed at this peculiar type of BL Lac objects by combining X-ray, gamma-ray and infrared data. It is based on the observation of a clustering towards a high X-ray to GeV gamma-ray flux ratio, and it does not rely on the radio flux or X-ray spectrum. This makes it suitable to find TeV-peaked sources also with very faint radio emission. Taking advantage of the Fermi all-sky gamma-ray survey applied to the ROMA-BZCAT and Sedentary Survey samples, I produce an initial list of 47 TeV-peaked candidates for observations with present and future air-Cherenkov telescopes.

Nucleosynthesis in Fast Expansions of High-Entropy, Proton Rich Matter

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We demonstrate that nucleosynthesis in rapid, high-entropy expansions of proton-rich matter from high temperature and density can result in a wider variety of abundance patterns than heretofore appreciated. In particular, such expansions can produce iron-group nuclides, p-process nuclei, or even heavy, neutron-rich isotopes. Such diversity arises because the nucleosynthesis enters a little explored regime in which the free nucleons are not in equilibrium with the abundant alpha particles. This allows nuclei significantly heavier than iron to form in t he presence of abundant free nucleons early in the expansion. As the temperature drops, nucleons increasingly assemble into alpha particles and heavier nuclei. If the assembly is efficient, the resulting depletion of free neutrons allows disintegrat ion flows to drive nuclei back down to iron and nickel. If this assembly is inefficient, then the large abundance of free nucleons prevents the disintegration flows and leaves a distribution of heavy nuclei after reaction freezeout. For cases in between, an intermediate abundance distribution, enriched in p-process isotopes, is frozen out. These last expansions may contribute to the solar system's supply of the p-process nuclides if mildly proton-rich, high-entropy matter is ejected from proto-neutron stars winds or other astrophysical sites. Also sign ificant is the fact that, because the nucleosynthesis is primary, the signature of this nucleosyn thesis may be evident in metal poor stars.

title: Risk, resilience and responsibilisation: gendered participation and empowerment in informal settlements of Metro Cebu, the Philippines
Creators: name: Ramalho, Jordana
Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Year: 2019

description: The Philippines is one of the most disaster-affected countries in the world and considered especially vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change. As the economic, social and environmental consequences of these phenomena become more pronounced across the archipelago, disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) and climate change adaptation have unsurprisingly gained more attention in national and local policies and development agendas. Within this terrain, community-based DRRM (CBDRRM) has emerged as a core orthodoxy informing intervention, particularly in the context of low-income informal settlements which are among the most exposed and least able to protect themselves and recover from such events. In Metro Cebu, calls for creating a more ‘sustainable’ and ‘resilient’ city are also placing urban poor communities in an increasingly precarious position, with those living in areas classed as ‘danger zones’ simultaneously facing intensified pressures of displacement in the name of risk management. Amidst this context of multiple and overlapping forms of risk and insecurity, community organising among informal settlers has become a critical mechanism for building local capacities and resisting different socio-political and environmental threats. Largely mobilised and driven by women, these grassroots entities, often in the shape of homeowner associations, are fundamental to collective contestations of policies and practices that adversely or unfairly affect the urban poor of Cebu, while also serving as strategic sites for advancing claims on public resources and local risk management activities. This thesis interrogates the gendered politics of risk and community organising among informal settlers in Metro Cebu. Drawing on the perspectives and experiences of women and men living in areas classed as danger zones, I argue that encounters with risk (and disaster) constitute an ‘everyday’ rather than ‘exceptional’ reality for informal settlers, and that the siloed focus on large-scale catastrophic events obscures these gendered realities and therein limits the efficacy of CBDRRM initiatives. Relatedly, I contend that the language of ‘disasters’ and ‘climate change’ being endorsed and propagated by the Philippine state depoliticises discussions of risk by concealing the socio-political and structural drivers of vulnerability and deflecting attention away from the power configurations and actors complicit in the production of risk. In fact, my analysis of how DRRM features within broader urban development processes in the metropole showcases how ‘disaster resilience’ and ‘pro-poor development’ are being mobilised to serve elite commercial interests and legitimise the removal of slums.

description: Time-lapse microscopy imaging provides direct access to the dynamics of soft and living systems. At mesoscopic scales, such microscopy experiments reveal intrinsic fluctuations, which may have both thermal and non-equilibrium origins. These intrinsic fluctuations, together with measurement noise, pose a major challenge for the analysis of the dynamics of these "Brownian movies". Traditionally, methods to analyze such experimental data rely on tracking embedded or endogenous probes. However, it is in general unclear how to select appropriate tracers; it is not evident, especially in complex many-body systems, which degrees of freedom are the most informative about their non-equilibrium nature. Here, we introduce an alternative, tracking-free approach that overcomes these difficulties via an unsupervised analysis of the Brownian movie. We develop a dimensional reduction scheme that selects a basis of modes based on dissipation, and we subsequently learn the non-equilibrium dynamics in this basis and estimate the entropy production rate. In addition, we infer time-resolved force maps in the system and show that this approach is scalable to large systems, thus providing a potential alternative to microscopic force-probes. After benchmarking our method against a minimal two-beads model, we illustrate its broader applicability with an example inspired by active biopolymer gels.

description: We consider the partition function for a matrix model with a global unitary invariant energy function. We show that the averages over the partition function of global unitary invariant trace polynomials of the matrix variables are the same when calculated with any choice of a global unitary fixing, while averages of such polynomials without a trace define matrix-valued correlation functions, that depend on the choice of unitary fixing. The unitary fixing is formulated within the standard Faddeev-Popov framework, in which the squared Vandermonde determinant emerges as a factor of the complete Faddeev-Popov determinant. We give the ghost representation for the FP determinant, and the corresponding BRST invariance of the unitary-fixed partition function. The formalism is relevant for deriving Ward identities obeyed by matrix-valued correlation functions.

Frictionless Data

description: The international wheat community has embraced the omics era and is producing larger and more heterogeneous datasets at a rapid pace in order to produce better varieties via breeding programmes. These programmes, especially in the pre-breeding space, have encouraged wheat communities to make these datasets available more openly. This is a positive step, but the consistent and standardised collection and dissemination of data based on rich metadata remains difficult, as so much of this information is stored in papers and supplementary information. Furthermore, whilst ontologies exist for data descriptions, e.g. the Environmental Factor Ontology, the Crop Ontology, etc., use of these ontology terms to annotate key development characteristics across disparate data generation methods and growing sites is rarely routine or harmonised. Therefore, we built Grassroots, an infrastructure including portals to deliver large scale datasets with semantically marked-up metadata to power FAIR data in crop research. As part of the UK Designing Future Wheat (DFW) programme, we generate a variety of data ranging from field trial experimental information, sequencing data and phenotyping images, through to molecular biology data about host and pathogen interactions, nitrogen use efficiency, and other key treatment factors. As such, there is an increasing need to be able to manage this data and its metadata to allow for consistent, easy dissemination and integration with other datasets and within analytical tools and workflows. We decided that Frictionless Data was the right framework to use due to its ease of use and open standards, so we developed open source tools for FAIR data sharing to automatically generate Frictionless Data Packages for these datasets on both our Apache/iRODS and CKAN portals.

description: Ultra High Energy (UHE) neutrino Astronomy and relic Neutrino masses may play a key role in solving the Ultra High Energy Cosmic Ray (UHECR) puzzle within the Z-Showering model. Tau air-shower originated by UHE neutrino in matter may probe and amplify this expected UHE neutrino Astronomy.

Observing UPTAUs and HORTAUs along their line of showering, from higher balloons or satellites, at Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin (GZK) energies above 10^19 eV, may test a calorimeter mass exceeding 150 km^3 (water equivalent). Observing Horizontal Shower by EUSO will probe even larger ring areas generated in huge terrestrial volumes larger than 2360 km^3. These highest GZK energies nu_tau astronomy are well tuned to test the needed abundant nu fluence in GZK Z-Showering model where ZeV (above 10^21 eV) Ultra High Energy neutrinos hit on relic light (near 0.1-3 eV masses) anti-neutrinos, in hot dark matter halos, creating boosted UHE Z bosons. Their nucleon decay in flight may born secondaries observed on Earth atmosphere as UHECR. The wide EUSO acceptance may test easily Z-showering fluxes as well as GZK neutrinos at their minimal granted fluence. The rare (78) observed upcoming terrestrial gamma flashes observed by BATSE satellite during last decade may be also be traces of such UPTAUs and HORTAUs.

description: In this paper, a geometric process to compare solutions of symmetric hyperbolic systems on (possibly different) globally hyperbolic manifolds is realized via a family of intertwining operators. By fixing a suitable parameter, it is shown that the resulting intertwining operator preserves Hermitian forms naturally defined on the space of homogeneous solutions. As an application, we investigate the action of the intertwining operators in the context of algebraic quantum field theory. In particular, we provide a new geometric proof for the existence of the so-called Hadamard states on globally hyperbolic manifolds.

Local phase structure of wave dislocation lines: twist and twirl
Creators: name: Dennis, M. R.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Generic wave dislocations (phase singularities, optical vortices) in three dimensions have anisotropic local structure, which is analysed, with emphasis on the twist of surfaces of equal phase along the singular line, and the rotation of the local anisotropy ellipse (twirl). Various measures of twist and twirl are compared in specific examples, and a theorem is found relating the (quantised) topological twist and twirl for a closed dislocation loop with the anisotropy C line index threading the loop.

An Abundance Analysis of the New Carbon-Rich Proto-Planetary Nebula IRAS 06530$-$0213

description: In this paper, we present a study of the proto-planetary nebula (PPN) IRAS 06530$-$0213 based on low- and high-resolution spectra. The low-resolution spectrum shows that star is an F5 supergiant with molecular C$_{2}$ and C$_{3}$ and enhanced s-process lines. From the high-resolution spectra, the following atmospheric parameters were determined: $T_{\rm eff}$ = 6900 K, log$g$ = 1.0 and $ξ_{\rm t}$ = 4.5. Abundance analysis shows that IRAS 06530$-$0213 is metal-poor ([Fe/H]=$-$0.9) and overabundant in carbon ([C/Fe]=1.3), nitrogen ([N/Fe]=1.0), and s-process elements ([s-process/Fe]=1.9), indicating AGB nucleosynthesis and deep convective mixing. From the analysis of circumstellar C$_{2}$ and CN molecular bands in the spectrum of IRAS 06530$-$0213, an envelope expansion velocity of V$_{\rm exp}$=~14$\pm1$ km s$^{-1}$ was determined, a typical value for post-AGB stars. Also typical of PPNs is the double-peaked spectral energy distribution. The properties of both the photosphere and circumstellar envelope suggest that IRAS 06530$-$0213 is unambiguously a low-mass, carbon-rich PPN. For comparison purposes, new, high-resolution spectra of the well-known PPN HD 56126 (IRAS 07134+1005) was also analyzed and compared with previous results.

A note on spin-s duality

description: Duality is investigated for higher spin ($s \geq 2$), free, massless, bosonic gauge fields. We show how the dual formulations can be derived from a common "parent", first-order action. This goes beyond most of the previous treatments where higher-spin duality was investigated at the level of the equations of motion only. In D=4 spacetime dimensions, the dual theories turn out to be described by the same Pauli-Fierz (s=2) or Fronsdal ($s \geq 3$) action (as it is the case for spin 1). In the particular s=2 D=5 case, the Pauli-Fierz action and the Curtright action are shown to be related through duality. A crucial ingredient of the analysis is given by the first-order, gauge-like, reformulation of higher spin theories due to Vasiliev.

Shifting Shorelines : Exploring the Ecotones of Prince Rupert
Creators: name: Fleck, Ashley
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: This project explores the city of Prince Rupert in Northern BC, and the impact that the history of development and industry has had on its current conditions, particularly along the shoreline, the interface between land and water. Through researching archival information, the following conclusions can be made: 1. The coastal waters have been utilized for their vast resources. 2. Industrialization and demand for waterfront land has caused the shoreline to be reshaped and filled, and the creeks flowing into the harbour to be altered and disrupted. Within this project, the shoreline of Prince Rupert is viewed as an ecotone, representing the tensions embedded throughout the city’s development, and ultimately providing opportunity for the community to steward their connection with water and ecology at the interface of changing industry.

Nonlinear simulation of an elastic tumor-host interface

description: We develop a computational method for simulating the nonlinear dynamics of an elastic tumor-host interface. This work is motivated by the recent linear stability analysis of a two-phase tumor model with an elastic membrane interface in 2D. Unlike the classic tumor model with surface tension, the elastic interface condition is numerically challenging due to the 4th order derivative from the Helfrich bending energy. Here we are interested in exploring the nonlinear interface dynamics in a sharp interface framework. We consider a curvature dependent bending rigidity (curvature weakening) to investigate metastasis patterns such as chains or fingers that invade the host environment. We solve the nutrient field and the Stokes flow field using a spectrally accurate boundary integral method, and update the interface using a nonstiff semi-implicit approach. Numerical results suggest curvature weakening promotes the development of branching patterns instead of encapsulated morphologies in a long period of time. For non-weakened bending rigidity, we are able to find self-similar shrinking morphologies based on marginally stable value of the apoptosis rate.
An improved staining method of cell cycle analysis with Sybr Green I for fungi: Cryptococcus neoformans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae

description: Cryptococcus neoformans is a pathogenic fungus which causes millions of deaths and infections, especially threatening immunocompromised individuals. During the development of new drugs, the ubiquitination has been found to play an important role in the regulation of the virulence and cell cycle of this fungus. Based on this mechanism, ubiquitination-related mutant strains exhibiting cell cycle arrest have been established for drug development for the fungus. However, flow cytometry detection of the cell cycle in fungi is generally difficult because the thick cell wall and capsule of fungi generally contribute to a nonspecific signal of cytometry. In this study, an improved method, derived from Saccharomyces cerevisiae assays, is developed to specifically stain C. neoformans, in whose cell cycle the G1 and G2 peaks are separated enough to be allowed for cell cycle analysis. As a result, the improved method facilitates the detection of the alterations in the cell cycle of C. neoformans with a mutation that results in cell cycle arrest, which distinctly delays the cell division of C. neoformans. Thus, the improved method reported here provides detailed technical information regarding assays on C. neoformans and, more importantly, offers a solution for assessing the cell cycle in other fungi in the future.

description: We review our perturbative techniques for improved heavy quark actions. A new procedure for computing improvement coefficients is suggested, where the continuum limit of a lattice-regularized theory provides the matching conditions.We also use a gauge-invariant infrared regulator that is well suited to higher-order calculations in lattice gauge theory. We report on preliminary tests of our method, as well as a possible way to reduce systematic errors in these calculations.
