description: Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) study on morphological changes in gold nanostructures deposited on Si (100) upon annealing under different vacuum conditions has been reported. Au thin films of thickness ~2.0 nm were deposited under high vacuum condition (with the native oxide at the interface of Au and Si) using thermal evaporation. In-situ, high temperature (from room temperature (RT) to 850\degreeC) real time TEM measurements showed the evaluation of gold nanoparticles into rectangular/square shaped gold silicide structures. This has been attributed to selective thermal decomposition of native oxide layer. Ex-situ annealing in low vacuum (10-2 mbar) at 850\degreeC showed no growth of nano-gold silicide structures. Under low vacuum annealing conditions, the creation of oxide could be dominating compared to the decomposition of oxide layers resulting in the formation of barrier layer between Au and Si.

description: The massive star forming region W3 was observed with the faint object infrared camera for the SOFIA telescope (FORCAST) as part of the Short Science program. The 6.4, 6.6, 7.7, 19.7, 24.2, 31.5 and 37.1 \um bandpasses were used to observe the emission of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules, Very Small Grains and Big Grains. Optical depth and color temperature maps of W3A show that IRS2 has blown a bubble devoid of gas and dust of $\sim$0.05 pc radius. It is embedded in a dusty shell of ionized gas that contributes 40% of the total 24 \um emission of W3A. This dust component is mostly heated by far ultraviolet, rather than trapped Ly$α$ photons. This shell is itself surrounded by a thin ($\sim$0.01 pc) photodissociation region where PAHs show intense emission. The infrared spectral energy distribution (SED) of three different zones located at 8, 20 and 25\arcsec from IRS2, show that the peak of the SED shifts towards longer wavelengths, when moving away from the star. Adopting the stellar radiation field for these three positions, DUSTEM model fits to these SEDs yield a dust-to-gas mass ratio in the ionized gas similar to that in the diffuse ISM. However, the ratio of the IR-to-UV opacity of the dust in the ionized shell is increased by a factor $\simeq$3 compared to the diffuse ISM.

description: Disproportionate numbers of indigenous children are removed from their birth families and placed in child welfare care and there is reason to believe the incidents of this practice will increase. The current trend threatens to assimilate indigenous peoples into mainstream Canadian society, as did the preceding state mandated Indian residential school policy. The Indian residential school experience contaminated traditional indigenous childcare values and the current child welfare system further destroys them. The purpose of this indigenous and phenomenological study is to address and eventually reverse the practice of removing Coast Salish children from their homes and placing them in child welfare care. This study identifies, describes and gives voice to the lived experiences of five Coast Salish elders who were nurtured with traditional childcare values. The findings show that the childcare values experienced by the elders are now virtually non-existent in present day Coast Salish childcare practice. The recommendations offer concrete methods for Coast Salish people to reclaim the traditional childcare values that sustained children within their birth families for thousands of years before the genesis of Indian residential school and the child welfare system.

description: The primary gaol of this paper is to analyze the mass spectrum of the vector rho mesons by using the soft-wall AdS/QCD device. The theory is characterized by a form of the dilaton field which satisfies the constraint for having the correct Regge behavior as well as the constraint for the non-existence of the spurious massless scalar mode in the spectrum. The spectrum we obtained is in good agreement with the experimental data.

description: We present a new theoretical framework to analyze microwave amplifiers based on the dc SQUID. Our analysis applies input-output theory generalized for Josephson junction devices biased in the running state. Using this approach we express the high frequency dynamics of the SQUID as a scattering between the participating modes. This enables us to elucidate the inherently nonreciprocal nature of gain as a function of bias current and input frequency. This method can, in principle, accommodate an arbitrary number of Josephson harmonics generated in the running state of the junction. We report detailed calculations taking into account the first few harmonics that provide simple semi-quantitative results showing a degradation of gain, directionality and noise of the device as a function of increasing signal frequency. We also discuss the fundamental limits on device performance and applications of this formalism to real devices.

Analysis of primary human cancers : from single genes to whole transcriptomes
Creators: name: Pugh, Trevor John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Cells in the human body contain DNA genomes that encode instructions regulating their biology. Accumulation of somatic DNA sequence alterations such as point mutations and structural rearrangements can disrupt critical genes resulting in malignant cancer phenotypes. Identification of cancer “drivers” is a central goal of cancer genome analysis due to their causation of oncogenesis and potential as diagnostic and therapeutic targets. Analysis of normal polymorphisms can also impact the treatment of cancer by identifying individuals most likely to benefit from specific therapies. To uncover molecular correlates with treatment outcome, my graduate work has focused on applying DNA sequencing technology to clinical cancer patient samples. In an early example of medical oncogenomics, I evaluated mutations and amplifications of a single gene, EGFR, in patient tumour samples and investigated associations with response to an EGFR inhibitor, gefitinib. This study was challenged by limited nucleic acid quantities available from small or microdissected tissue biopsies. Therefore, I next characterized bias induced by a whole genome amplification technique and demonstrated genotype and copy number analysis using amplified material. To investigate the role that normal polymorphisms play in guiding cancer treatment, my third project sought to correlate DNA repair gene polymorphisms with the development of late side effects following radiation therapy for prostate cancer. Late side effects were associated with variants in three genes, uncovered by sequencing the exons of eight DNA repair genes in patients with varying degrees of radiosensitivity. Advancements in DNA sequencing technologies have enabled a move beyond candidate gene approaches towards gaining sequence and expression information from all expressed genes (i.e. the transcriptome). Utilizing second generation sequencing technology, my final project was a transcriptome analysis of lung tumours prior to treatment with the EGFR inhibitor, erlotinib. I uncovered gene expression profiles specific to clinical subgroups and, in one case, detected expression of the Epstein-Barr virus. The second phase of this project will validate putative somatic mutations identified by transcriptome sequencing and investigate viral involvement in other lung tumours. Genome sequence information is becoming readily extracted from clinical sources and there is great potential to use this information to effectively guide cancer treatment.

description: The simplest models might describe the nucleon as 3 light quarks, but this description would be incomplete without inclusion of the sea of glue and q-qbar pairs which binds it. Early indications of a particularly large contribution from strange quarks in this sea to the spin and mass of the nucleon motivated an experimental program examining the role of these strange quarks in the nucleon vector form factors. The strangeness form factors can be extracted from the well-studied electromagnetic structure of the nucleon using parity-violation in electron-nuclear scattering to isolate the effect of the weak interaction. With high luminosity and polarization, and a very stable beam due to its superconducting RF cavities, CEBAF at Jefferson Lab is a precision instrument uniquely well suited to the challenge of measurements of the small parity-violating asymmetries. The techniques and results of the two major Jefferson Lab experimental efforts in parity-violation studies, HAPPEX and G0, as well as efforts to describe the strange form factors in QCD, will be reviewed.

description: We present numerical relativity results of tidal disruptions of white dwarfs from ultra-close encounters with a spinning, intermediate mass black hole. These encounters require a full general relativistic treatment of gravity. We show that the disruption process and prompt accretion of the debris strongly depend on the magnitude and orientation of the black hole spin. However, the late-time accretion onto the black hole follows the same decay, $\dot{M}$ ~ t^{-5/3}, estimated from Newtonian gravity disruption studies. We compute the spectrum of the disk formed from the fallback material using a slim disk model. The disk spectrum peaks in the soft X-rays and sustains Eddington luminosity for 1-3 yrs after the disruption. For arbitrary black hole spin orientations, the disrupted material is scattered away from the orbital plane by relativistic frame dragging, which often leads to obscuration of the inner fallback disk by the outflowing debris. The disruption events also yield bursts of gravitational radiation with characteristic frequencies of ~3.2 Hz and strain amplitudes of ~10^{-18} for galactic intermediate mass black holes. The optimistic rate of considered ultra-close disruptions is consistent with no sources found in ROSAT all-sky survey. The future missions like Wide-Field X-ray Telescope (WFXT) could observe dozens of events.

description: The effective adhesive properties of heterogeneous thin films are characterized through a combined experimental and theoretical investigation. By bridging scales, we show how variations of elastic or adhesive properties at the microscale can significantly affect the effective peeling behavior of the adhesive at the macroscale. Our study reveals three elementary mechanisms in heterogeneous systems involving front propagation: (i) patterning the elastic bending stiffness of the film produces fluctuations of the driving force resulting in dramatically enhanced resistance to peeling; (ii) optimized arrangements of pinning sites with large adhesion energy are shown to control the effective system resistance, allowing the design of highly anisotropic and asymmetric adhesives; (iii) heterogeneities of both types result in front motion instabilities producing sudden energy releases that increase the overall adhesion energy. These findings open potentially new avenues for the design of thin films with improved adhesion properties, and motivate new investigation of other phenomena involving front propagation.

description: The results of an adaptive optics survey of exoplanet host stars for stellar companions is presented. We used the AEOS Telescope and its adaptive optics system to collect deep images of the stars in $I$-band. Sixty-two exoplanet host stars were observed and fifteen multiple star systems were resolved. Of these eight are known multiples, while seven are new candidate binaries. For all binaries, we measured the relative astrometry of the pair and the differential magnitude in $I$-band. We improved the orbits of HD 19994 and $τ$ Boo. These observations will provide improved statistics on the duplicity of exoplanet hosts stars and provide an increased understanding of the dynamics of known binary star exoplanet hosts.

The Operator Tensor Formulation of Quantum Theory
Creators: name: Hardy, Lucien
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A typical quantum experiment has a bunch of apparatuses placed so that quantum systems can pass between them. We regard each use of an apparatus, along with some given outcome on the apparatus (a certain detector click or a certain meter reading for example), as an operation. An operation can have zero or more quantum systems inputted into it and zero or more quantum systems outputted from it. We can wire together operations to form circuits. In the standard framework of quantum theory we must foliate the circuit then calculate the probability by evolving a state through it. This approach has three problems. First, we must introduce an arbitrary foliation of the circuit (such foliations are not unique). Second, we have to pad our expressions with identities every time two or more foliation hypersurfaces intersect a given wire. And third, we treat operations corresponding to preparations, transformations, and results in different ways. In this paper we present the operator tensor formulation of quantum theory which solves all these problems. Corresponding to every operation is an operator tensor. The probability for a circuit is given by simply replacing the operations in the circuit with the corresponding operator tensors. Wires between operator tensors correspond to multiplying the tensors in the associated subspace and then taking the partial trace over that subspace. Operator tensors must be physical (namely, they must have positive input transpose and satisfy a certain normalization condition).

description: We impose new severe constraints on the self-interactions of fermionic asymmetric dark matter based on observations of nearby old neutron stars. WIMP self-interactions mediated by Yukawa- type interactions can lower significantly the number of WIMPs necessary for gravitational collapse of the WIMP population accumulated in a neutron star. Even nearby neutron stars located at regions of low dark matter density can accrete sufficient number of WIMPs that can potentially collapse, form a mini black hole, and destroy the host star. Based on this, we derive constraints on the WIMP self-interactions which in some cases are by several orders of magnitude stricter than the ones from the bullet cluster (which are currently considered the most stringent).

Quantum Nonlocal Boxes Exhibit Stronger Distillability

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The hypothetical nonlocal box (\textsf{NLB}) proposed by Popescu and Rohrlich allows two spatially separated parties, Alice and Bob, to exhibit stronger than quantum correlations. If the generated correlations are weak, they can sometimes be distilled into a stronger correlation by repeated applications of the \textsf{NLB}. Motivated by the limited distillability of \textsf{NLB}s, we initiate here a study of the distillation of correlations for nonlocal boxes that output quantum states rather than classical bits (\textsf{qNLB}s). We propose a new protocol for distillation and show that it asymptotically distills a class of correlated quantum nonlocal boxes to the value $1/2 (3\sqrt{3}+1) \approx 3.098076$, whereas in contrast, the optimal non-adaptive parity protocol for classical nonlocal boxes asymptotically distills only to the value 3.0. We show that our protocol is an optimal non-adaptive protocol for 1, 2 and 3 \textsf{qNLB} copies by constructing a matching dual solution for the associated primal semidefinite program (SDP). We conclude that \textsf{qNLB}s are a stronger resource for nonlocality than \textsf{NLB}s. The main premise that develops from this conclusion is that the \textsf{NLB} model is not the strongest resource to investigate the fundamental principles that limit quantum nonlocality. As such, our work provides strong motivation to reconsider the status quo of the principles that are known to limit nonlocal correlations under the framework of \textsf{qNLB}s rather than \textsf{NLB}s.

Democratic theorists' childhood issues : coping with the inclusion/incapacity dilemma
Creators: name: Gormley, Shannon Nicole
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Children pose a problem for democratic theorists. On the one hand, democratic theorists place a high premium on citizens’ inclusion in decision-making processes; on the other hand, they believe that children have a low capacity to participate in political life. I call this the inclusion/incapacity dilemma, and consider three coping strategies that democratic theorists have devised to cope with it: the denial of the problematic nature of children’s exclusion from democracy, the diversion of children’s democratic rights to adult fiduciary authorities, and the delay of children’s inclusion through education. Arguing that none of these strategies have resolved the tension between theorists’ desire for citizens’ inclusion and their perception of children’s incapacity, I advocate a fourth strategy for theorists: broadening the meaning of democratic inclusion to incorporate participatory, rather than only representative, decision making spheres, and broadening their understanding of capacity to account for many, rather than only two, life stages.

description: We study the problem of existence of a periodic point in the boundary of an invariant domain for a surface homeomorphism. In the area-preserving setting, a complete classification is given in terms of rationality of Carathéordory's prime ends rotation number, similar to Poincaré's theory for circle homeomorphisms. In particular, we prove the converse of a classic result of Cartwright and Littlewood. This has a number of consequences for generic area preserving surface diffeomorphisms. For instance, we extend previous results of J. Mather on the boundary of invariant open sets for $C^r$-generic area preserving diffeomorphisms. Most results are proved in a general context, for homeomorphisms of arbitrary surfaces with a weak nonwandering-type hypothesis. This allows us to prove a conjecture of R. Walker about co-basin boundaries, and it also has applications in holomorphic dynamics.

description: The 4 Ms Chandra Deep Field-South (CDF-S) and other deep X-ray surveys have been highly effective at selecting active galactic nuclei (AGN). However, cosmologically distant low-luminosity AGN (LLAGN) have remained a challenge to identify due to significant contribution from the host galaxy. We identify long-term X-ray variability (~month-years, observed frame) in 20 of 92 CDF-S galaxies spanning redshifts z~0.08-1.02 that do not meet other AGN selection criteria. We show that the observed variability cannot be explained by X-ray binary populations or ultraluminous X-ray sources, so the variability is most likely caused by accretion onto a supermassive black hole. The variable galaxies are not heavily obscured in general, with a stacked effective power-law photon index of Gamma_stack~1.93+/-0.13, and are therefore likely LLAGN. The LLAGN tend to lie a factor of ~6-80 below the extrapolated linear variability-luminosity relation measured for luminous AGN. This may be explained by their lower accretion rates. Variability-independent black-hole mass and accretion-rate estimates for variable galaxies show that they sample a significantly different black-hole mass-accretion rate space, with masses a factor of 2.4 lower and accretion rates a factor of 22.5 lower than variable luminous AGN at the same redshift. We find that an empirical model based on a universal broken power-law PSD function, where the break frequency depends on SMBH mass and accretion rate, roughly reproduces the shape, but not the normalization, of the variability-luminosity trends measured for variable galaxies and more luminous AGN.

The available average seismic constraints allow a precise and largely model-independent determination of stellar radii (hence distances) and masses. We here briefly report on the distance determination of thousands of giants in the CoRoT and Kepler fields of view.

Gravitational Actions in Two Dimensions and the Mabuchi Functional

description: The Mabuchi energy is an interesting geometric functional on the space of Kähler metrics that plays a crucial rôle in the study of the geometry of Kähler manifolds. We show that this functional, as well as other related geometric actions, contribute to the effective gravitational action when a massive scalar field is coupled to gravity in two dimensions in a small mass expansion. This yields new theories of two-dimensional quantum gravity generalizing the standard Liouville models.

Characterizing sustainable forest management at the local-level in British Columbia, Canada
Creators: name: Gough, Angeline
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In this study, sustainable forest management (SFM) indicators employed by 13 different forest management entities in British Columbia (BC) have been analyzed according to their use and associated monitoring costs. The analysis revealed significant gaps in the monitoring of many social and economic indicators amongst forestry companies, largely due to a perception that these indicators were not the companies’ responsibilities to monitor. In addition, some widely recognized values, such as the maintenance of soil and water quality, were also not being monitored. This can be attributed, at least in part, to the high cost of monitoring these indicators. Amongst Aboriginal entities, they were also major gaps in the monitoring, often reflecting a lack of capacity or a disagreement with the context in which the indicators were framed. Further exploration of the data through Q-type factor analysis revealed that there are five distinct organizational perspectives on stewardship amongst the 13 case studies. These perspectives are predominantly delineated by causal mechanism related to access and control of resources. These results represent important policy signals for government when attempting to craft a cohesive SFM policy across a broad scale of diverse landscapes and cultures and provide a basis for exploring the relationship between institutional failures and adaptation in SFM. A generic ‘SFM system’ was devised for BC using the theory of Panarchy as an underlying conceptual framework. In this system, the constraints and incentives on SFM monitoring derived from the analysis of the 13 case studies are connected to institutional failures in the SFM system. Relationships between failure and adaption are explored in order to make policy suggestions for better incorporation of a diversity of operational SFM definitions into higher-level SFM implementation and monitoring in BC.

Flows of Renyi entropies

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We demonstrate that the condensed matter quantum systems encompassing two reservoirs connected by a junction permit a natural definition of flows of conserved measures, Renyi entropies. Such flows are similar to the flows of physical conserved quantities such as charge and energy. We develop a perturbation technique that permits efficient computation of Renyi entropy flows and analyze second- and fourth order contributions. Second-order approximation was shown to correspond directly to the transition events in the system and thereby to posess a set of "intuitive" features. The analysis of fourth-order corrections reveals a more complicated picture: the "intuitive" relations do not hold anymore, and the corrections exhibit divergencies in low-temperature limit manifesting an intriguing non-analytical dependence of the flows on coupling strength in the limit of weak couplings and vanishing temperatures.

Marginal analysis of longitudinal count data in long sequences: Methods and applications to a driving study

name: Albert, Paul S.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Applications (stat.AP)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Most of the available methods for longitudinal data analysis are designed and validated for the situation where the number of subjects is large and the number of observations per subject is relatively small. Motivated by the Naturalistic Teenage Driving Study (NTDS), which represents the exact opposite situation, we examine standard and propose new methodology for marginal analysis of longitudinal count data in a small number of very long sequences. We consider standard methods based on generalized estimating equations, under working independence or an appropriate correlation structure, and find them unsatisfactory for dealing with time-dependent covariates when the counts are low. For this situation, we explore a within-cluster resampling (WCR) approach that involves repeated analyses of random subsamples with a final analysis that synthesizes results across subsamples. This leads to a novel WCR method which operates on separated blocks within subjects and which performs better than all of the previously considered methods. The methods are applied to the NTDS data and evaluated in simulation experiments mimicking the NTDS.

description: High-precision measurements of magnetic penetration depth $λ$ in clean single crystals of LiFeAs and LiFeP superconductors reveal contrasting low-energy quasiparticle excitations. In LiFeAs the low-temperature $λ(T)$ shows a flat dependence indicative of a fully gapped state, which is consistent with previous studies. In contrast, LiFeP exhibits a $T$-linear dependence of superfluid density $\propto λ^{-2}$, indicating a nodal superconducting order parameter. A systematic comparison of quasiparticle excitations in the 1111, 122, and 111 families of iron-pnictide superconductors implies that the nodal state is induced when the pnictogen height from the iron plane decreases below a threshold value of $\sim 1.33$\,Å.

Equivariant K-theory, groupoids and proper actions
Creators: name: Lopez, Jose Maria Cantarero
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Equivariant K-theory for actions of groupoids is defined and shown to be a cohomology theory on the category of finite equivariant CW-complexes. Under some conditions, these theories are representable. We use this fact to define twisted equivariant K-theory for actions of groupoids. A classification of possible twistings is given. We also prove a completion theorem for twisted and untwisted equivariant K-theory. Finally, some applications to proper actions of Lie groups are discussed.

description: This r esearch project, using Truax's Scale for the Measurement of Accurate Empathy and an adapted version of Warman's Counse ling Appropriateness Check-List, attempted to investigate the relationship between counselor empathy and student perception of counselor role. Results of the study indicated that counselors rated "high" in empathy were considered to be significantly more appropriate persons to consult for advice for personal-social problems than counselors rated "low". No significant differences were obtained for educational vocational problems. Female students in contrast to males considered the counselor to be significantly more appropriate for discussion of both problem areas. Grade 9 students considered the counselor to be significantly more appropriate for discussion of educational-vocational concerns than did grade 7 or grade 8 students. The results of this study and their implications were briefly discussed.

description: We show the existence of a duality between the c-map space describing the universal hypermultiplet at tree level and the matrix model description of two-dimensional string theory compactified at a self-dual radius and perturbed by a sine-Liouville potential. It appears as a particular case of a general relation between the twistor description of four-dimensional quaternionic geometries and the Lax formalism for Toda hierarchy. Furthermore, we give an evidence that the instanton corrections to the c-map metric coming from NS5-branes can be encoded into the Baker-Akhiezer function of the integrable hierarchy.
