description: Porina (Wiseana spp.) are endemic to New Zealand with some species adapting to exotic pastures, where they cause significant damage. Porina larvae cannot be identified to species level in the field so the relative impact of each porina species is not known. Greater knowledge of foraging behaviour by different porina species will help to determine species-specific impacts. The nocturnal foraging behaviours of W. cervinata and W. copularis larvae were investigated in the laboratory using videos recorded under infrared conditions. Foraging behaviours were characterised, and videos analysed using BORIS software found species differences in the number of burrows constructed and in foraging choices. Behavioural sequences were similar for both porina species, with W. cervinata larvae foraging exclusively on white clover while W. copularis foraged on white clover and ryegrass. W. cervinata larvae constructed one horizontal burrow whereas W. copularis constructed 2–3 horizontal burrows to reach their food plants. By constructing several horizontal burrows, W. copularis larvae have access to more plants without exposing themselves above ground to adverse weather conditions or predators. This may be an advantageous strategy for W. copularis larvae, particularly at high population densities when food becomes scarce, and may increase the degree of pasture damage caused by this species relative to other Wiseana spp. Porina management should target the most damaging species within the complex and this study provides further evidence that W. copularis is more likely to cause pasture damage.
Performance-based seismic analysis of light SDoF secondary substructures

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: A novel procedure is presented for the application of the PBE (performance-based engineering) methodology to the seismic analysis and design of light secondary substructures. In the proposed technique, uncertainty is conveniently represented in the reduced modal subspace rather than geometric domain, which significantly reduces the number of uncertain parameters. The random response of a primary structure under earthquake excitation is investigated, various cases of linear and nonlinear secondary subsystems are examined and the propagation of uncertainty from the dynamic properties of the primary structure to the seismic performance of the secondary subsystems is quantified.

description: Patienten, die sich operativen Eingriffen unterziehen müssen, sind entsprechend der demographischen Entwicklung in den Industrieländern zum Zeitpunkt des Eingriffs zunehmend älter und weisen ein immer umfangreicheres Spektrum von Begleiterkrankungen auf. Dem Schutz der Organfunktion und insbesondere der Prävention ischämischer Ereignisse kommt somit im perioperativen Verlauf eine herausragende Bedeutung zu. Daher hat das Verfahren der ischämischen Präkonditionierung in den letzten Jahren sehr großes Interesse hervorgerufen. Unter Präkonditionierung versteht man, dass eine kurz dauernde Ischämie in Zellen Anpassungsprozesse in Gang setzt, die diese Zellen gegen eine nachfolgende, länger dauernde Ischämie widerstandsfähiger machen. Die Beiträge des Bandes zeigen, dass es möglich ist, beispielsweise durch Verabreichung spezifischer Pharmaka, u. a. der sogenannten volatilen Anästhetika, protektive Effekte auf Zell- und Organebene zu erzielen. Mit Blick auf klinische Relevanz und Erarbeitung neuer Therapiestrategien zur Gewebeprotektion ist vor allem die arzneimittelinduzierte Präkonditionierung im Fokus der pharmakologischen Forschung. Molekulare Grundlagen und Anwendungsbereiche des Verfahrens werden diskutiert.

Development of stochastic heterogeneous slip distribution model for simulation of earthquake ground motion

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Ground motion simulation is an important tool for analyzing seismic risk in engineering systems. Recently, ground motion simulations using fault model are being widely applied. Characterized fault models are conveniently used to model the heterogeneous slip distribution on fault plane, which divides the fault into two areas, i.e., asperity area and background area. The model, however, is too simplified to model the complex characteristics of actual slip. In this paper, a model to simulate the slip distribution of the fault plane is proposed.
Evaluation of decisions to rehabilitate South African dams in terms of the ANCOLD ALARP criterion and SWTP for human safety
Creators: name: Viljoen, Celeste

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Eleven case studies of dam rehabilitation projects in South Africa are evaluated in terms of quantitative risk assessment criteria (ANCOLD, 2003) and Society’s Willingness to Pay (SWTP) (Pandey, et al., 2006). Inspection and design reports on which the decisions to rehabilitate were based were made available by the Department of Water and Sanitation, South Africa, from where estimates of pre- and posterior probabilities of failure, expected loss of human lives as well as cost of rehabilitation were obtained. In all cases, ANCOLD’s ALARP criterion dictated that the (existing) dams be rehabilitated. Only one of the eleven cases requires rehabilitation based on the SWTP criterion. The other cases either had a prohibitively high rehabilitation cost, an already low probability of failure prior to rehabilitation or low expected loss of lives in case of failure.

Probabilistic performance-based optimum seismic design with application to the California High-speed Rail prototype bridge
Creators: name: Li, Yong
name: Conte, Joel P.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Seismic isolation provides a potentially promising strategy to mitigate the seismic risk to California High-speed Rail (CHSR) bridge structures. Notably, a proper selection of the seismic isolator properties must be carried out to strike a trade-off between the beneficial and detrimental effects of seismic isolation while accounting for the uncertainties associated with the seismic loading. Building upon a three-dimensional detailed nonlinear finite element (FE) model of a California Highspeed Rail (CHSR) prototype bridge, including soil-foundation-structure interaction (modeled using the dynamic p-y approach) and rail-structure interaction, a comprehensive parametric probabilistic seismic demand hazard analysis was performed for this bridge located at San Jose, California. A proposed next-generation approach, i.e., Probabilistic Performance-based Optimum Seismic Design (PPOSD) framework, is applied to the CHSR Prototype Bridge, within the context of the Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering (PBEE) methodology developed at the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) center. Through the application of the PPOSD framework to the CHSR Prototype Bridge, a well-posed optimization problem is proposed for the optimal seismic isolator parameters and solved through grid-based brute-force approach.

Institutions through North-Atlantic economic history and 21st century China

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: Economic History
subject: International relations
subject: Institutions
subject: Geoeconomics

description: In economic history, the fork when the fortunes of Europe leaped ahead of Asia’s is called the Great Divergence. Over a dozen causes have been implicated empirically but among economists at least, whatever their views on the causal weights of the rest, there is near consensus on one: institutions. Divergence is also a useful frame to examine the role of institutions in societies since. This analytical paper compares some of the paradoxical convergence between USA and China with that lens of deeper history stretching back to when some of today’s universal institutions arose. It is clarifying to study the institutional choices that characterize the respective continental arcs and their consequences. The paper should serve as a pedagogical discussion note for a number of social sciences. To that end, it bridges new knowledge in academic literature with current information from journalistic reportage.
A phase space reconstruction method for getting instantaneous probability density function of nonlinear stochastic systems
Creators: name: Jiang, Zhong-Ming
name: Li, Jie
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Dynamic response analysis of non-linear structures involving random parameters has been an important and challenging problem for a long time. A variety of theoretical and numerical methods have been studied for engineering purpose. As a newly developed method, the probability density evolution method (PDEM) is capable of capturing the instantaneous probability density function (PDF) of stochastic dynamic responses of structures. In this paper, a new method named “phase space reconstruction method” (PSRM) is introduced. By this method, the instantaneous PDF of dynamic responses of highly non-linear systems can be obtained effectively. Some examples, including a Riccati oscillator, a SDOF oscillator, and a Van der Pol oscillator, are investigated. The results demonstrate the applicability and accuracy of PSRM in getting the solution of the generalized density evolution equation (GDEE) .

On a newly developed estimator for more accurate modeling with an application to civil engineering
Creators: name: Habibullah, Saleha Naghmi

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Maintenance of the construction equipment fleet being an indispensably important concern in megaprojects such as construction of bridges and dams, equipment reliability metrics such as failure-rates, availability of equipment, time between failures and time required for repair are of paramount interest for contractors and project managers. The availability of data on variables such as time to failure, repair-time and the like motivates the determination of appropriate probability models that fit the data with a high degree of accuracy and facilitate estimation of probabilities that may be valuable in project-planning. Estimation of parameters of the proposed model by efficient estimation procedures is one of the first steps in achieving a model that ‘best’ fits the data. Only very recently, a property of a particular class of continuous probability distributions that has been named ‘self-inversion at unity’ has begun to be utilized for obtaining modifications to well-known estimators so that the modified estimators are more efficient than their well-known counterparts. In this paper, we focus on the more general case that we call ‘self-inversion at A’, where A can be any arbitrary real number, and propose a modification to the formula of the sample mean on the basis of this property. By applying the newly proposed modified mean to a data-set pertaining to repair-times of construction equipment, we demonstrate the usefulness of this approach in achieving probability models that are likely to fit, with a higher degree of accuracy than that which is achievable through the utilization of the well-known estimators, reliability and maintenance-related data encountered in megaprojects undertaken by civil engineers as well as in a variety of other engineering endeavors.

Nanomechanics based theory of size effect on strength, lifetime and residual strength distributions of quasibrittle failure : a review
Creators: name: Salviato, Marco
name: Kirane, Kedar
name: Bažant, Zdeněk P.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The paper reviews a series of studies at Northwestern University which led to the establishment of a theory of probability distributions of short-time strength, residual strength after static preload and lifetime of structures made of quasibrittle materials such as concrete, fiber composites and tough ceramics. The theory is based on the frequency of probability of interatomic bond breaks on the atomic scale and on the multi-scale transition of power-law probability tail. The conclusion is that if the failure is not perfectly brittle, the probability distribution of strength and lifetime is a graft of Gaussian and Weibull distributions and varies from nearly Gaussian at the scale of one RVE to Weibullian for very large structures consisting of many RVEs. As a consequence, the safety factors should depend on structure size. Numerous experimental comparisons and computational simulations are given.

description: Introduction Figma stands out in the design world as a tool that enhances creativity and fosters teamwork. I recently led a Figma-based activity for students, focusing on both skill development and collaboration. The Activity Designed for small groups, the session revolved around creating a "yearbook page" in Figma to introduce each student creatively. This challenge included using various Figma features like frames, images, and prototyping. Key Takeaways 1. Individual Exploration: Giving students time to explore challenges independently was crucial, balancing guidance with autonomy. 2. Peer-to-Peer Assistance: Encouraging collaboration was key. Students helping each other strengthened the learning process and built a supportive community. 3. Flexibility: Being flexible with the pace of learning was important as some concepts took longer to grasp than others. 4. Resource Utilization: Students used resources like Google and ChatGPT, promoting independent problem-solving skills. 5. Presentation Management: The presentation phase needed tweaks. Deciding the order of presentations was left to students, fostering teamwork and communication skills. 6. Reflective Learning: Discussing the challenges and solutions post-presentation through screen-sharing was effective for peer learning. 7. Support and Encouragement: Continuously cheering the students on and showing enthusiasm for their achievements built confidence and a positive learning environment. Conclusion This Figma activity was a blend of technical and life skill development, highlighting the importance of a supportive and creative educational approach. I plan to refine this activity further to enhance learning outcomes.

description: Biofield therapies have been reported to improve the quality of life as compared to other energy medicine. The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment on Pseudomonas fluorescens (P. fluorescens) for antimicrobial sensitivity, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), biochemical reactions, and biotype number. P. fluorescens cells were procured from MicroBioLogics Inc., USA in sealed packs bearing the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC 49838) number and divided in control and treated group. The effect was evaluated on day 10, and 159 after biofield treatment in lyophilized state. Further study was performed on day 5, 10, and 15 after retreatment on day 159 in revived state as per study design. All experimental parameters were studied using automated MicroScan Walk-Away® system. The 16S rDNA sequencing was carried out to correlate the phylogenetic relationship of P. fluorescens with other bacterial species after treatment. The results showed improved sensitivities and decreased MIC value of aztreonam, cefepime, moxifloxacin, and tetracycline in revived and lyophilized treated sample with respect to the control. Arginine, cetrimide, kanamycin, and glucose showed altered biochemical reactions after biofield treatment with respect to control. Biotype numbers were altered along with species in lyophilized as well as in revived group. Based on nucleotides homology and phylogenetic analysis using 16S rDNA gene sequencing, treated sample was detected to be Pseudomonas entomophila (GenBank Accession Number: AY907566) with 96% identity of gene sequencing data, which was nearest homolog species to P. fluorescens (Accession No. EF672049). These findings suggest that Mr. Trivedi’s unique biofield treatment has the capability to alter changes in pathogenic P. fluorescens even in the lyophilized storage condition and can be used to modify the sensitivity of microbes against antimicrobials.

description: Inspired by Peter Plichta’s original ideas in Das Primzahlkreuz: Band 1 and modeled by the Universal Model Framework (UMF), we present a numerical derivation of the speed of lightc ≈ 3.00×10 8 m/s based on a prime-lattice construct called the Prime Number Cross. Primes lying on6n ± 1 rays generate a quadratic shell geometry, whose shell counts and fl uxes approach inverse-square-law behavior analogous to the spread of a physical fi eld. By introducing Planck length ℓ P and Planck time t P into this prime-lattice, we numerically reproduce c ≈ ℓ P /t P , consistent with the measured value of 2.998 × 10 8 m/s. We further examine ±10% deviations in lattice spacing, demonstrating how this prime-based approach remains robust under modest scaling. The results underscore the intriguing ties between number theory, fractal geometry, and fundamental physical constants.

This project was developed by Marco Gericke, with structured assistance from a large language model. All scientific concepts and conclusions were generated, verified, and interpreted by the author.

Dedicated to Peter Plichta, who envisioned the code before it could be computed.
Reliability-based geotechnical design : towards a unified theory

description: A review of theoretical probabilistic models devised over the last decade for geotechnical reliability-based design reveals that they generally follow the same form. That form can be used to develop a unified reliability-based design approach that includes the effects of spatial variability in the ground, site understanding, and the severity of failure consequences. This paper develops and describes the resulting unified model, along with recommendations regarding its use in practice. The approach can be used to directly provide required resistance factors for use in an LRFD format.

Subjects: classificationCode: 50
subject: Philosophy and religious studies

description: This thesis is trying to collect the scattered aspects of Mohammad Iqbal's religious renewal through attempting to extract the innovative approach to religion by studying his books—particularly "The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam". It highlights his approach to the Islamic heritage based on the concept of (The Spirit of the Quran) as a guiding criterion. He read Islam, the history, and the universe through the Quranic perspective; He presented a spiritual interpretation of the universe, argued for the flexibility of Islam, and its universality by its openness to renewal, and adaptation to different circumstances and conditions. The objective of this thesis is to organize Muhammad Iqbal's thoughts and opinions on religious reconstruction in the following areas: "His vision of the universe which considered human to be an immortal object, that participates in the construction of the universe." "The finality of the institution of prophethood as a start of inductive reason." "His unprecedented critique and evaluation of modern movements in the Muslim world." "The self-philosophy that sees change starts with the self that contributes to the salvation of mankind." "His vision of jurisprudence (Ijtihad) as the principle of movement in Islam." "The concept of the evolution of the Islamic law by revealing the basic principles of Islam through the historical process." "Philosophical, Islamic theological criticism". "Adherence to the spiritual experience as the basis of religion, while criticizing the prevailing mysticism, as he aims to reform the Islamic nation (Ummah).
