Understanding the variable human response to hypoxia : physiological, genetic, and epidemiological investigations of acute mountain sickness susceptibility
Creators: name: MacInnis, Martin J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: High-altitude (and simulated high-altitude) environments can be extraordinarily stressful for low-altitude organisms because of the reduced oxygen availability (i.e. hypoxia). Humans, who live primarily at low altitude, can adjust physiologically (i.e., acclimatise or acclimate) to hypoxic environments; however, the human acclimatisation response to hypoxia is highly variable, evident from the differential susceptibility to acute altitude illnesses, such as acute mountain sickness (AMS). For my dissertation, I attempted to identify some of the physiological, genetic, and epidemiological variables that could explain the variation in hypoxia tolerance. I conducted (i) two studies using a normobaric hypoxia chamber at the University of British Columbia; (ii) two field studies in a mountainous region of the Nepalese Himalaya; and (iii) two meta-anaylyses. The most important findings of my dissertation are that (i) oxygen saturation (SPO₂) and heart rate (HR) were not strong markers of AMS susceptibility in laboratory or field settings; (ii) a low fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) was associated with increased susceptibility to AMS in the laboratory but not in the field; (iii) physiological responses (FENO, SPO₂, HR, blood pressure) to hypoxia were repeatable on two normobaric hypoxia exposures; (iv) AMS severity was lower on the second of two identical normobaric hypoxia exposures (but headache severity was similar); (v) in a large Nepalese sample, age, sex, ascent rate, and preventative strategies were associated with AMS susceptibility; (vi) the severity of AMS was similar in brothers; (vii) there were biogeographical differences in AMS susceptibility in the Nepalese sample; (viii) polymorphisms of the FAM149A gene were associated with AMS severity; (ix) AMS history was a poor predictor of future AMS outcomes; and (x) sleep quality was weakly related to other AMS symptoms. In conclusion, this dissertation demonstates that the measured physiological variables (FENO, SPO₂, HR, blood pressure) were not associated with AMS status, that a genetic basis to the variation in AMS susceptibility is likely, and that the Lake Louise Score definition of AMS should be amended. Our understanding of acute altitude tolerance in humans may be aided by the redefinition of AMS.

title: Об атрибуции и планировке здания в Отрарском оазисе

description: В статье рассматривается многокомнатное здание, которое было раскопано в 1970-е гг. недалеко от Отрара. Датируется оно XIV – началом XV в. Стены квадратного в плане здания были сложены из крупноформатного обожженного кирпича. По мнению автора публикации, оно было разделено внутренними перегородками на двадцать помещений. В центре находилось квадратное в плане помещение, которое со всех сторон окружали комнаты различных размеров и конфигурации. Здание было сильно разрушено поздними перекопами, поэтому внутренние конструкции в нем почти не сохранились. В публикации данная постройка интерпретируется как мечеть или медресе. Между тем никаких признаков культового здания в ней не прослеживается. В то же время в центральной части Золотой Орды, в Нижнем Поволжье исследовано несколько усадебных зданий близкой планировки. Они также квадратные в плане и разделены меридиональными стенами на три части. Средняя часть состоит из анфилады помещений, в центре которой находится парадный зал. Главный вход в него находится с южной стороны, а в северной части расположено место хозяина дома в виде подиума, на котором стоял балдахин. С восточной и западной стороны к залу примыкали комнаты различного назначения. Такую планировку имели главные здания наиболее богатых усадеб. Подобная планировка в Золотой Орде была заимствована из Средней Азии. Образцом, возможно, послужили усадебные постройки Хорезма. Однако пространство в золото ордынских усадебных домах было организовано по монгольским образцам. Здание в Отрарском оазисе, вероятно, является примером такого здания в Хорезме.

description: При археологических раскопках средневековых памятников Ташкентского, Туркестанского и Отрарского оазисов была выявлена группа керамики, отличающаяся характерной отделкой, включающей вдавленный геометрический и растительный орнамент, ангобирование и лощение. Она получила в науке название «кангарской» и датирована в пределах с середины VII до середины IX в. Несмотря на уже довольно значительный корпус «кангарской» керамики и ее выразительную фактуру, интересную не только с точки зрения археологической типологии и хронологии, но и в искусствоведческом плане, специальных исследований, посвященных этой разновидности продукции ранние средневекового прикладного искусства, пока нет. При раскопках городища Каршовултепа в Чиназском районе Ташкентской области, представляющем собой руины небольшого укрепленного городка на правобережной террасе реки Чирчик, были найдены несколько сосудов, относящихся к рассматриваемой группе. Верхний слой городища по керамике и монетным находкам датируется второй половиной VII – первой половиной VIII в., и его запустение мы связываем с военными действиями арабских войск полководца Кутайбы б. Муслима во время его похода на Чач/Шаш и Фергану в 713–714 гг., а также с нашествием армии империи Тан под командованием Гао Сяньчжи в 749 г., в результате которого был казнен правитель Чача. В статье публикуются описания сосудов, дополняющие наши представления о кангарской керамике, и предлагается сузить датировку, ограничив ее второй половиной VII – первой половиной VIII в.

Cutting Feedback

description: Bayesian modelling enables us to accommodate complex forms of data and make a comprehensive inference, but the effect of partial misspecification of the model is a concern. One approach in this setting is to modularize the model and prevent feedback from suspect modules, using a cut model. After observing data, this leads to the cut distribution which normally does not have a closed form. Previous studies have proposed algorithms to sample from this distribution, but these algorithms have unclear theoretical convergence properties. To address this, we propose a new algorithm called the stochastic approximation cut (SACut) algorithm as an alternative. The algorithm is divided into two parallel chains. The main chain targets an approximation to the cut distribution; the auxiliary chain is used to form an adaptive proposal distribution for the main chain. We prove convergence of the samples drawn by the proposed algorithm and present the exact limit. Although SACut is biased, since the main chain does not target the exact cut distribution, we prove this bias can be reduced geometrically by increasing a user-chosen tuning parameter. In addition, parallel computing can be easily adopted for SACut, which greatly reduces computation time.
LAND USE POLICY AND TOURISM: THE CASE OF GREECE

Publisher: name: tourismos
Year: 2016

description: Land use changes in Greece are the end product of social shifts and influences, historical developments and changes over time to the land which, combined with the effects of European, national and in particular sectoral policies, have brought about a complex and diverse land situation subject to a variety of continuing pressures. One such pressure is tourism, with various significant consequences for economic and social activities on the land and natural resources. The authors’ objective is to explore and briefly analyze both in what ways spatial policies in Greece (including tourism policies) have had an impact on tourism and vice-versa how tourism activities have generally speaking affected land uses in Greece, especially over the last decades.

description: Human activities interfere with natural Phosphorus (P) cycles by introducing increased levels of P emissions to air, land, and water. A supply-side analysis of P supply chains and associated P emissions can provide insights into underlying economic activities and transitions responsible for human-induced P emissions. Taking the mainland China as the case, this study constructs time-series physical input-output tables to describe P supply chains during 1949–2012. Subsequently, it identifies critical products and influencing factors of P supply chains enabling P emissions to the environment (including air, land, and water) from the supply perspective. The results show that phosphate rock, an important initial supplier of P from natural environment to China’s P supply chain, was responsible for 86% of P emissions in 2012. Moreover, food crops and livestock are important initial suppliers of P from soil to China’s P supply chain, through cultivation and pasturing, respectively. From 1949 to 2012, the change in primary input level was the largest driver of P emission increments, followed by changes in population, emission intensity, and primary input structure. On the contrary, changes in production structure reduced P emissions. These findings could support supply-side policy decisions on P emission control.

description: Data drift occurs when machine learning (ML) models are deployed in environments that no longer resemble the data on which they were trained. As a result of this change, model performance can deteriorate. In this blog post from the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon University, we introduce Portend, a new open source toolset from the SEI that simulates data drift in ML models and identifies the proper metrics to detect drift in production environments. Portend can also produce alerts if it detects drift, enabling users to take corrective action and enhance ML assurance. This post explains the toolset architecture and illustrates an example use case.
Novel approaches for quantifying source zone natural attenuation of fossil and alternative fuels
Creators: name: Sihota, Natasha Julie Jane
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Natural attenuation represents an environmentally and economically sustainable means to manage contaminants in situ. To assess potential human and environmental risks associated with this strategy, there is a need to characterize the extent of contaminant containing source zones. Moreover, to obtain public and regulatory support, there is a need to demonstrate that mass losses are occurring. However, quantifying the extent and rate of natural attenuation under field conditions remain challenging. Here a novel approach for assessing and monitoring sites impacted by hydrocarbon and ethanol-blended fuels using surficial gas effluxes is developed. The approach is tested at several sites including those impacted by a crude oil pipeline rupture, ethanol-blended fuel train car derailments, and historic refinery operations. The approach was refined through inclusion of isotopic measurements, comparison to other approaches for monitoring microbial activity, and evaluation of seasonal dynamics and microbial communities. Process-based reactive transport modeling was used to integrate and interpret field data and develop and illustrate a more robust conceptual model of the processes occurring at the different field sites. Results demonstrate that surficial gas effluxes are able to both delineate contaminant containing source zones, and distinguish between the rates of natural soil respiration and contaminant mineralization. In scenarios where methane oxidation goes to completion, carbon dioxide fluxes are sufficient for evaluating natural attenuation rates; when methane escapes oxidation, measurements of methane fluxes are also needed. Results also demonstrated that measurement of radiocarbon is particularly useful for determining the contribution of contaminant degradation to the measured efflux. Comparison of seasonal dynamics showed that both biological and physical parameters must be considered when quantifying average annual contaminant degradation rates while comparison to other approaches for measuring microbial activity showed good correlations with gas effluxes. Comparison across the field sites investigated, showed degradation rates were relatively high at ethanol-blended fuel release sites. In-depth microbiological evaluation of microbial communities at one ethanol-blended fuel release site showed a substantial change in the microbial community associated with the release. Overall, the novel methods provide a useful approach for assessing the extent and rate of natural attenuation at hydrocarbon contaminated field sites.

description: A typical feature of biological materials is their ability to adapt to mechanical load. However, it is not known whether the cuticle exoskeleton, one of the most common biological structures, also shares this trait. Here, we show direct experimental evidence that prolonged exposure to hypergravity conditions affects the morphology and biomechanics of an insect exoskeleton. Locusts were raised for several weeks in a custom-designed centrifuge at various levels of hypergravity. Biomechanical measurements and X-ray microtomography show that up to 3g load the Young’s modulus of the tibiae increased by about 67\%. Higher gravitational loads however decreased the survival rate, body mass and endocuticle thickness. These results directly show that cuticle exoskeletons can react to hypergravity. This ability has so far only been known for bone endoskeletons and plants. Our findings thus add important context to the discussion on general ultimate factors in the evolution of adaptive biological materials and skeletal systems.

description: This research study is focused on evaluating the influence of security, privacy and access control on multiple-domains (e.g., the healthcare domain). In this thesis, we addressed the problem of central access decision systems by introducing an appropriate cross-domain healthcare scenario based on current issues and interaction of relevant entities in cross-domain environments. This work has enabled us to introduce decentralised access control, a novel policy system for dynamic cross-domain authorisation that uses elements of both the traditional access control model and cryptographic primitives. These kinds of algorithms and systems are fundamental in developing Industrial applications (e.g., healthcare) to secure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of this sensitive data and prevent unauthorised user access in the cross-domain environments.

Role of SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling in regulation of PKA activity during cell migration
Creators: name: He, Daniel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Cell migration plays an important role in development and the immune system, and the signaling pathways governing this process are regulated in a spatial and temporal manner. One important signaling molecule is cAMP-dependent Protein Kinase (PKA), which has been shown to be a key regulator of migration. In migrating cells, PKA activity exists in a gradient that is highest at the leading edge, where it phosphorylates proteins that promote migration. Although the functions of PKA in migration have been identified, upstream regulators of PKA-mediated cell migration have yet to be defined. A candidate for regulation of PKA during migration is the chemokine receptor CXCR4, which has been shown to induce cell migration and signal through PKA-phosphorylatable proteins upon ligation with stromal derived factor-1 (SDF-1). I have created a novel CXCR4 deficient Jurkat cell line, JC4, and show that Jurkat cell migration towards SDF-1 is CXCR4-dependent. As well, we show through biochemical studies that the SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling pathway is an upstream regulator of PKA activation in CHO-CXCR4 cells, J774 macrophages, and Jurkat T-cells. Furthermore, the SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling pathway is an upstream regulator of PKA activation in migrating cells. This is supported by the observation that there is a CXCR4-dependent increase in PKA-phosphorylated substrates at the periphery of J774 macrophages and protrusions of Jurkat T-cells upon SDF-1 stimulation. Furthermore, SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling establishes a PKA activity gradient in migrating Jurkat cells that is highest at the leading edge. These studies define a regulatory role for the SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling pathway in promoting PKA-mediated cell migration.

Parametric Stability and Word Order Change: The Case of Middle French
Creators: name: Wolfe, Sam
Publisher: name: Journal of Historical Syntax
Year: 2021

description: This article presents a novel empirical analysis of the word-order properties of Middle French, which were analysed extensively in the 1990s but have not been discussed recently in light of the latest theoretical developments. Based on the novel data, it is argued that Middle French is a form of V2 system, where the locus of V2 effects is a low left-peripheral head Fin. Whilst the evidence for V2 in the three texts examined is robust, the texts attest several changes in progress which, it is argued, eventually lead to the reanalysis of French as an SVO system. The article concludes with a discussion of why, in terms of formal parameter theory, the core V2 property remained so stable in the history of French across nearly a millennium, when it was also subject to extensive diachronic microvariation across centuries.

description: Technology standards play a significant role in the modern economy. The practice of standardisation promotes both technology diffusion and innovation across a range of industries, and has crucial implications for national economies and governments. The development of technical standards, however, can give rise to anti-competitive effects, as well, as communicate pro-competitive signals. To date, there is still no clear approach towards anti-competitive conduct in technological standardisation in Australia. This thesis proposes amendments to the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 to address any legislative limitations, as well as, recommend a number of non-legislative measures to provide prospective licensees of SEPs with more guidance and legal certainty.
Optical absorption in carbon nanotubes
Creators: name: Motavas, Saloome
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Due to their unique optical properties, carbon nanotubes have been widely investigated for use in photonic and optoelectronic devices and optical absorption and emission with nanotubes have been achieved in experiments. On the other hand, the structural characteristics of nanotubes, e.g. the chirality, diameter, and length, as well as other factors such as the polarization of the incident light, presence of a magnetic field and mechanical deformation can significantly affect the optical properties of these structures. Some of these effects have been theoretically studied at the tight-binding approximation level. However, a systematic first-principles-based study of nanotubes that addresses these effects did not exist in the literature prior to the present work. This thesis aims at performing such a fundamental study. We first describe a method for calculating the dipole moments and transition rates in nanotubes. This also enables the study of selection rules, based on which a modified set of rules is defined. The probability of absorption is studied in the full range of infrared-visible-ultraviolet. We show that π-σ*, σ-π*, and σ-σ* transitions that are neglected in previous works are allowed and can lead to high probabilities of transition. We then investigate several effects caused by the curvature of the nanotube sidewall and their impacts on the optical properties. The overall effect is shown to not only depend on the diameter, but also on the chirality of the nanotube. Through the study of the light polarization effect, we show that the overall transition rate spectrum of the perpendicularly polarized light is suppressed for smaller-diameter nanotubes in the IR/VIS range. In the UV region, however, perpendicular polarization is generally absorbed at a higher rate compared to parallel polarization. Finally, we show how the absorption spectra of short nanotube segments can be different from those of long nanotubes. We examine the effect of length on individual absorption peaks and also investigate the effect of spin on the optical properties of nanotube segments. The calculation method described in this thesis and the results can be used to estimate the effects of structural and environmental factors on the optical absorption properties of nanotubes.

purchase money security interest

description: Title retention functionally serves as a security device for ensuring the
      payment of the purchase price in a sales contract, but not all
      jurisdictions recognize it as a security interest. The research aims to
      compare the recognition and treatment of title retention in Vietnam,
      England, France, the United States and Australia. It examines the issues
      arising in Vietnam concerning the existing law of title retention and the
      prospect of a reform that possibly involves the importation of the Article
      9 model. The research is conducted using the doctrinal and comparative
      analysis methods with the aid of a critical outlook and a discussion on
      the legal transplant. It is found that English law insists on the
      formalism approach that does not accept title retention to the original
      goods as a security interest. It raises the unexpected impact on the Sale
      of Goods Act after the FG Wilson (Engineering) Ltd v John Holt &
      Co (Liverpool) Ltd and PST Energy 7 Shipping LLC v OW Bunker Malta Ltd
      rulings. Vietnamese law adopts the French law approach that treats title
      retention as a security interest, but it is merely a seller-based security
      interest that excludes the participation of other. Article 9 of the
      American Uniform Commercial Code and the Australian Person Property
      Securities Act are an appealing and increasingly-accepted model of the law
      on secured transactions. It introduces the concept of purchase-money
      security interest that includes the title retention arrangement. The
      functionalism, unitary approach and the notice filing system under the
      Article 9 offer a comprehensive treatment of a purchase-money security
      interest as the exception of the general security interest. The findings
      suggest that even though Article 9 is currently a good model in this area,
      the import of this model may encounter some resistance from the angle of
      legal culture and legal practice. From the Vietnamese perspective, it is
      possible to build the law of purchase-money security interest running
      parallel with other devices in the scheme of a Civil Code before
      considering adopting a unitary functionalism law of secured transactions.

description: Low-mass X-ray binaries hosting a low-magnetised neutron star, which accretes matter via Roche-lobe overflow, are generally grouped in two classes, named Atoll and Z sources after the path described in their X-ray colour-colour diagrams. Scorpius X-1 is the brightest persistent low-mass X-ray binary known so far, and it isthe prototype of the Z sources. We analysed the first NuSTAR observation of this source to study its spectral emission exploiting the high statistics data collected by this satellite. Examining the colour-colour diagram, the source was probably observed during the lower normal and flaring branches of its Z-track. We separated the data from the two branches in order to investigate the evolution of the source along the track. We fitted the 3-60 keV NuSTAR spectra using the same models for both the branches. We adopted two description for the continuum: in the first case we used a blackbody and a thermal Comptonisation with seed photons originating in the accretiondisc; in the second one, we adopted a disc-blackbody and a Comptonisation with a blackbody-shaped spectrum of the incoming seed photons. A power-law fitting the high energy emission above 20 keV was also required in both cases. The two models provide the same physical scenario for the source in both the branches: a blackbody temperature between 0.8 and 1.5 keV, a disc-blackbody with temperature between 0.4 and 0.6 keV, and an optically thick Comptonising corona with optical depth between 6 and 10 and temperature about 3 keV. Furthermore, two lines related to the Kα and Kβ transitions of the He-like Fe XXV ions were detected at 6.6 keV and 7.8 keV, respectively. A hard tail modelled by a power law with a photon index between 2 and 3 was also required for both the models.
Experimental investigations of residual and fatigue capacities of timber connections with glued-in FRP rods
Creators: name: Zhu, Hong

description: Well-designed and executed glued-in rod connections can provide excellent structural performance in terms of strength, stiffness, and efficiency in load transfer. The pull-out residual and fatigue capacity of timber connections with glued-in Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) rods bonded by Polyurethane adhesive (PUR) have been studied extensively. Previous research conducted at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver (UBC) investigated the impact of anchorage length and rod diameter on the performance of glued-in GFRP rods glulam joints. Each of the test specimens consisted of two glued-in rod connections, with one rod inserted in each end-grain face. One side joint failed brittle but the other side joint survived under quasi static tensile test. The first rod connection to fail could be called the broken side or first side and the unbroken rod could be called the surviving side or second side. However, universal agreement on the design of glued-in rod connections has not yet been reached.The experimental work for this thesis was performed in the Timber and Material Laboratories at UBC. In the pull-out tension test, which is a follow-up test to previous study regarding the geometric characters of the glued-in GFRP rods joints, the short term tensile capacities of the surviving sides of symmetrical glued-in rod test specimens were determined. A total of 25 test series were tested with 5 replicates each where the anchorage length and the rod diameter were the same. The surviving side capacities were not always higher than the first sides, possibly explained by damage caused through the previous quasi static tensile tests. Subsequently, the average capacities from each series based two sides data were compared to the calculated predictions from different design approaches and it was shown that the German Design Code could best predict the capacity of symmetrical glued-in-rod connections.The fatigue tests were conducted based on the novel “PYHBAL” loading protocol which involves two single step tests and one load increase test. Compared to conventional fatigue tests, the “PHYBAL” method can provide fast and economic fatigue estimation. The fatigue capacity of the glued-in GFRP rod joints was approximately 65% of short-term capacity.

Bernstein's pedagogic device

description: Higher education is a site of struggle over aims, values and identities of
      students and academics. Learning and teaching are increasingly the focus
      of policy in English higher education as universities wish to be seen to
      prioritise the student experience. In this thesis, I examine national
      policy on learning and teaching focusing particularly on its
      recontextualisation within institutional policy as well as practices
      around assessment. Using an interdisciplinary framework, I bring together
      Bernstein’s (1990) ideas on pedagogy from a sociological perspective and a
      framework and concepts from critical discourse studies (CDS).
      Specifically, I draw on Bernstein’s (1990; 2000) principles of how
      pedagogic discourse is created, the identities available to students and
      teachers, the notion of the official recontextualising field (ORF) and the
      pedagogic recontextualising field (PRF) and the tensions, as well as
      overlaps, between these two fields. From CDS, I use the
      discourse-historical approach (DHA) to provide an underpinning notion of
      context and the tools to explore the data for discursive strategies used
      in legitimising policy proposals. My data includes policy documents both
      national and institutional, assessment texts and interview data. I focus
      on four key policy texts for detailed analysis together with analysis of
      interviews with students and lecturers. Policy documents construct a
      picture of university education as producing employable graduates,
      students as partners, institutions as communities and teaching as
      facilitation. I find dissonances between these constructions in the policy
      documents and the portrayals in interview accounts. Findings also suggest
      a proliferation of discursive mechanisms designed to embed policy views on
      learning, teaching and the purpose of a university education. I address
      pertinent questions such as in whose interests, and with what effects, are
      such policy constructions and discursive mechanisms and whether certain
      types of universities are more likely to embrace them.
