description: The incendiary dynamic between race and welfare in the United States is well-known. An under explored aspect of this dynamic is how recipients of colour navigate the racial undercurrents that permeate welfare and which may result in differential treatment. Drawing from qualitative interviews with twenty-four recipients of colour, this study seeks to understand the ways in which they negotiate their relationships with workers. The study finds that to deflect racial stereotypes, participants monitor their behaviour for traces of anger that could be construed as ‘street’ rather than ‘decent’, and divorce themselves from those that don’t. Participants also rejected the discourse of citizenship, seeking to sooth and placate workers rather than asserting a right to benefits. This discourse replicates historical patterns of powerlessness in the United States, where the need to beseech rather than insist and avoid appearing too angry resonates loudly for people of colour. This serves to reinforce the dominant discourse of undeservingness and racial stereotyping within the welfare system.
Impacts of environmental change on tree productivity in temperate-maritime forest ecosystems
Creators: name: Hember, Robbie Andrew
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis investigated observed responses of forest productivity to environmental change and their predictability using semi-empirical carbon (C) cycle models in temperate-maritime conifer forests in coastal British Columbia, Canada. Effects of environmental stress and historical responses to environmental trends were constrained using observations of gross primary production (Pg) from eddy-covariance flux towers and stemwood growth (Gsw) and mortality (Msw) from permanent forest inventory plots. Observations suggested a long-term increasing trend in Gsw extending back to the Little Ice Age, with decadal fluctuations in association with several 20th century drought episodes. Statistical models driven with climate variability, alone, could not reproduce the observed trend in Gsw, while climate variability and sensitivity to carbon dioxide (CO₂), combined, expressed a moderately strong capacity to reproduce past trends and variability. Observations also indicated substantial wave-like fluctuations in Msw that could not be explained by stand density-dependent processes, alone, while additional functions of drought sensitivity via linear-threshold functions of evapotranspiration (ET) and precipitation (P) improved model predictions. The capacity to predict tree productivity was explored within a more mechanistic modelling framework, focusing on evaluation of physical principles used to simulate Pg in production efficiency models (PEMs) and subsequent application within the established forest productivity model, 3-PG, to simulate Pg, Gsw, and Msw. Comparison with observations highlighted several deficiencies in the representation of environmental stress in PEMs that restrict the capacity to accurately simulate transient responses to environmental change, some of which arise from the model reduction and scaling techniques employed by PEMs, while others reflect unsettled physiological understanding. Consistent with regression model simulations, absence of CO₂ fertilization in 3-PG led to inability to reproduce observed trends in Gsw. This research demonstrated that representation of environmental sensitivity in models of Gsw and Msw does not lead to appreciable increases in model precision, yet is absolutely necessary to achieve temporally-unbiased simulations at the regional scale. Findings also demonstrate the critical role of observation networks, including permanent forest inventories and longterm continuous meteorological and hydrological measurements as a necessary means of advancing and implementing model representation of environmental controls on forest productivity.

description: Conservation of biodiversity has become a priority matter due to its excellent boost to socioeconomic development through ecotourism. The Eastern Cape Parks and Tourism Agency is responsible for the management of the provincial protected area network in South Africa. The Protected Area Expansion Strategy for the Agency is currently looking to improve biodiversity conservation using different mechanisms such as the Game Industry Transformation Strategy. The study elucidates how Game Industry Transformation Initiative as part of the national biodiversity economy strategy has a potential to promote biodiversity conservation whilst also addressing the socio-economic issues in Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. An invitation for Expression of Interest for Game Farming Transformation Initiative - GFTI (REP No: 03/15/16) was published widely on media over a period of one month as per South African government protocol. A total of 20 (N) applications were received comprising 90% of the targeted previously disadvantaged individuals (PDIs), and 10% were the institutions supporting the initiative. An estimated total area greater than 5000 hectares may benefit protection for biodiversity through GFTI. Out of the total PDIs (n = 18), 44% had landownership with verifiable title deeds, 12%relied on communal land while 44% relied on land leased from the government. There were significantly few participants (22%) with full capacity (i.e. game infrastructure) to roll out the incubation phase of the initiative within one year. A few lessons learnt include: 1. land ownership will remain a major challenge in the future; 2. infrastructural capital is limiting factor; and 3. a few people were interested thereby suggesting a need for more campaign for wildlife economy in the PDIs in South Africa.

Bimodal Behavior in the Zonal Mean Flow of a Baroclinic β-Channel Model

Year: 2005

description: The dynamical origin of midlatitude zonal-jet variability is examined in a thermally forced, quasigeostrophic, two-layer channel model on a β plane. The model's behavior is studied as a function of the bottom-friction strength. Two distinct zonal-flow states exist at realistic, low, and intermediate values of the bottom drag; these two states are maintained by the eddies and differ mainly in terms of the meridional position of their climatological jets. The system's low-frequency evolution is characterized by irregular transitions between the two states. For a given branch of model solutions, the leading stationary and propagating empirical orthogonal functions are related to eigenmodes of the model's dynamical operator, linearized about the climatological state on this branch. Nonlinear interactions between these modes are instrumental in determining their relative energy level. In particular, the stationary modes' self-interaction is shown to vanish. Thus, these modes do not exchange energy with the mean flow and, consequently, dominate the lowest-frequency behavior in the model. The leading stationary mode resembles the observed annular mode in the Southern Hemisphere. The bimodality is due to nonlinear interactions between nearly equivalent barotropic, stationary, and propagating modes, while the synoptic eddies play a modest role in determining the relative persistence of the two states. The role of synoptic eddies is very substantial only at unrealistically high values of the bottom drag, where they give rise to ultralow frequency variability by modifying the jet in a way that reinforces generation of the eddy field. This type of behavior is related to the presence of a homoclinic orbit in the model's phase space and is not apparent for more realistic, lower values of the bottom drag.

description: Data-driven approach for emission monitoring and management is the process of making decisions that are informed by collecting, processing, and analyzing data. In this research, we developed and assessed predictive models using six algorithms, including linear regression, lasso regression, ridge regression, adaptive boosting, gradient boosting, and artificial neural networks (ANN), to monitor NOx emissions from point sources. The long-term evaluation showed that the moderate complexity algorithm, adaptive boosting, had the best long-term monitoring performance with a root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.48 kg/hr. The two algorithms with the high-complexity developed by gradient boosting and ANN algorithms had the worst RMSE score, 0.51 kg/hr and 0.57 kg/hr, during the long-term monitoring period. Additionally, we used machine learning methods to calibrate a low-cost fine particulate matter (PM) sensor. After calibration by gradient boosting and ANN, the variances of the PM2.5 values were not statistically significantly different from the variance of the PM2.5 values measured by the reference method. The ANN method generated the lowest RMSE of 3.91 in the test dataset with 610 samples. Moreover, we applied data-driven discovery to an oil and gas database. The use of clustering and association rules implied that: (1) the cyclic steam stimulation (CSS) recovery method was less efficient than Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) recovery as schemes proceed toward maturity; (2) gas co-injection resulted in low Steam Oil Ratio (SOR)s; and (3) the Cold Lake region had higher solution gas oil ratio compared to the two other regions, including Athabasca and Peace River. Finally, data-driven approaches were used to analyze GHG emissions from in-situ oil sands operations. The weighted averages of the fuel use for the schemes using SAGD and CSS were 0.20 103m3 fuel to produce 1 m3 bitumen (0.24 103m3/m3) and 0.34 103m3 fuel to produce 1 m3 bitumen (0.34 103m3/m3), respectively. The average emission intensities (EIs) for SAGD ranged from 0.25 t CO2e/m3 to 0.98 t CO2e/m3, and the average EIs for CSS ranged from 0.61 t CO2e/m3 to 1.18 t CO2e/m3.

description: A measurement of the exclusive two-photon production of muon pairs in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s)= 7 TeV, pp to p mu^+ mu^- p, is reported using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 40 inverse picobarns. For muon pairs with invariant mass greater than 11.5 GeV, transverse momentum pT(mu) > 4 GeV and pseudorapidity |eta(mu)| < 2.1, a fit to the dimuon pt(mu^+ mu^-) distribution results in a measured cross section of sigma(pp to p mu^+ mu^- p) = 3.38 [+0.58 -0.55] (stat.) +/- 0.16 (syst.) +/- 0.14 (lumi.) pb, consistent with the theoretical prediction evaluated with the event generator Lpair. The ratio to the predicted cross section is 0.83 [+0.14-0.13] (stat.) +/- 0.04 (syst.) +/- 0.03 (lumi.). The characteristic distributions of the muon pairs produced via photon-photon fusion, such as the muon acoplanarity, the muon pair invariant mass and transverse momentum agree with those from the theory.

description: Historically, wildlife translocations assisted in reestablishing species in areas of extinction and are currently employed in over 50 countries. Ironically, they may be responsible for the extinction of pure genetic lineages, thereby negatively impacting endangered, indigenous, and rare species worldwide. The need to intensely manage populations is accelerating and the use of translocation as a practice is rapidly utilized within the wildlife ranching industry. We hypothesize that black and blue wildebeest translocation practices are detrimental, likely to persist in their current form, and policies facilitate hybridization. 6,929translocated wildebeest from 275 private ranches and three provincial protected areas, across 5South African provinces, were documented over five years. We analysed dispersal patterns of two translocated species that hybridize: the endemic black wildebeest and the more common blue wildebeest, sustainability of the translocation practice (indicated by generated revenue), and links between policies and hybridization. Translocations facilitate hybridization by overlapping previously ecologically and geographically isolated species, from multiple origins. Key findings indicate that blue wildebeest males of reproductive age are primarily translocated, wildebeest are introduced to the private and commercial industry from multiple sources (1-34), generated revenue from wildebeest accounted for 20.8%, and spatial disconnectivity and separate feeding grounds are correlated with decreased hybridization. This raises concerns for ecological integrity, location of genetically pure populations, genetic swamping, and regulatory efficiency. We coin the concept of an Ecological Sustainable Network (ESN) certificate and propose transparent and accountable procedural frameworks that standardize wildlife translocation practices for wildlife managers in the game ranching industry

description: We demonstrate molecular beam growth of graphene on biotite mica substrates at temperatures below 1000°C. As indicated by optical and atomic force microscopy, evaporation of carbon from a high purity solid-state source onto biotite surface results in the formation of single-, bi-, and multilayer graphene with size in the micrometer regime. Graphene grown directly on mica surface is of very high crystalline quality with the defect density below the threshold detectable by Raman spectroscopy. The interaction between graphene and the mica substrate is studied by comparison of the Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy data with the corresponding results obtained for graphene flakes mechanically exfoliated onto biotite substrates. Experimental insights are combined with density functional theory calculations to propose a model for the initial stage of the van der Waals growth of graphene on mica surfaces. This work provides important hints on how the direct growth of high quality graphene on insulators can be realized in general without exceeding the thermal budget limitations of Si technologies.

description: We derive boundary conditions for electromagnetic fields on a $δ$-function plate. The optical properties of such a plate are shown to necessarily be anisotropic in that they only depend on the transverse properties of the plate. We unambiguously obtain the boundary conditions for a perfectly conducting $δ$-function plate in the limit of infinite dielectric response. We show that a material does not "optically vanish" in the thin-plate limit. The thin-plate limit of a plasma slab of thickness $d$ with plasma frequency $ω_p^2=ζ_p/d$ reduces to a $δ$-function plate for frequencies ($ω=iζ$) satisfying $ζd \ll \sqrt{ζ_p d} \ll 1$. We show that the Casimir interaction energy between two parallel perfectly conducting $δ$-function plates is the same as that for parallel perfectly conducting slabs. Similarly, we show that the interaction energy between an atom and a perfect electrically conducting $δ$-function plate is the usual Casimir-Polder energy, which is verified by considering the thin-plate limit of dielectric slabs. The "thick" and "thin" boundary conditions considered by Bordag are found to be identical in the sense that they lead to the same electromagnetic fields.

Subjects: Crop and pasture protection (incl. pests, diseases and weeds)

description: Tomato production is characterized by inconsistent quality and yields due to biotic constraints such as fungal foliar diseases. Information on the occurrence of the diseases in different agro-ecological zones of Kenya is scanty. This study assessed the occurrence of early blight, late blight and Septoria spot diseases in tomato farms in five agro-ecological zones (AEZ) of Kirinyaga County in Kenya (UM2, UM3, UM4, LM3 and LM4) using cross sectional survey method. Macro plots were systematically established diagonally in tomato farms and were used to assess disease incidence and severity. Incidences and severity data were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA) using Kruskal Wallis H test at α = 0.05. Median comparison was performed using Steel Dwass Critchlow Fligner with bonferroni adjustment in Statistical Analysis Software (SAS) version 9.4. Incidences and severity of early blight, late blight and Septoria spot in tomato farms were significantly different (p<0.05) among the villages and agro-ecological zones. Incidence of early blight ranged from 35.7% to 76.65% with severity ranging from 17.15% to 50.87%. The incidence of Septoria spot ranged from 23.56% to 93.42% with severity ranging from 16.67% to 44.44%. The incidence of late blight ranged from 33.33% to 86.63% with severity ranging from16.67% to 33.33%. The incidence of early blight was significantly higher in AEZ UM3 (Median = 75%), the incidence of Septoria spot was significantly higher in AEZ LM4 (Median = 83.33%) while the incidence of late blight was significantly higher in AEZ UM3 (Median= 50%). The severity of early blight was significantly higher in AEZ UM3 (Median = 38.89%), Septoria spot was significantly severe in AEZ LM4 (Median = 40.28%) while late blight was significantly higher in AEZ UM4 (Median = 32.72%). It can be concluded that the incidences and severity of the three foliar fungal diseases of tomato differed in different AEZ of Kirinyaga County. These findings serve as a baseline study and can be used to enlighten farmers on tomato fungal diseases in the area. However, there is a need for studies to evaluate predisposing factors and to determine the economic impact of foliar fungal diseases of tomatoes in Kirinyaga County.

description: Der Grofte Altar von Pergamon, errichtet von der Dynastie der Attaliden urn 170 v.Chr., ist ein Bauwerk von atemberaubender Schonheit. Kein Besucher kann sich seinem Zauber entziehen. Er ist zugleich das Monument einer herrschenden Weltordnung - und eines vorzeitlichen Ur-Krieges. In vielgestaltigen Kampfszenen von hochster kiinstlerischer Perfektion zeigt der Grofie Fries an der Aufienseite des Altars die Gotterwelt im Kampf gegen die von unten angreifenden Giganten. Die Gottheiten der Oberseite kampfen mit vollem Einsatz, dennoch diszipliniert und sichtlich siegreich, wahrend sich ihre Gegner an der Unterseite in alien Posen des Sterbens und Todes prasentieren: durchbohrt, mifthandelt, zerhackt und niedergetreten von der gottlichen Macht. Die Haare der besiegten Giganten sind wirr und wild, ihre Korper nackt, Zorn und Verzweiflung stehen in ihren Gesichtern. Die Gelassenheit und Beherrschtheit der Haltung, die bis ins Detail kultivierte Asthetik der Gewander, die ihre triumphalen Bezwinger als uberlegen und zivilisiert kennzeichnen, sucht man bei ihnen vergeblich; einige von ihnen tragen tierhafte Merkmale wie Schlangenbeine oder Vogelkrallen. Wer die Bilder zu lesen versteht, empfangt eine eindeutige Botschaft: Es ist ein Hei- liger Krieg, der da vor unseren Augen tobt, Zivilisation im Kampf gegen Barbarei. Die Ordnung der Welt und des ganzen Kosmos steht auf dem Spiel. Gesetz halt stand gegen Gesetzlosigkeit, Kultur gegen das Wilde und Niedere, und es ist sakrosankte Gewalt, die das gottliche »Oben« gegen den Ubergriff und die Grenziiberschreitung von unten verteidigt. Mit diesem Bildprogramm spiegelt der Grofie Altar zugleich die »grofie Erzahlung« im Urgestein und Unterbau der abendlandischen Zivilisation (vgl. die ausgewahlten Bilder vom Grofien Altar auf den Tafeln A-D).

description: The debate on the management of petroleum resources and use of the anticipated wealth in Uganda has been through a new institutionalist prism that focuses on the dangers of the ‘resource curse’ than a blessing. Because many developing resource-rich countries like Uganda lack strong legal and institutional foundations for resource wealth management, many stakeholders and individuals fear that the wealth flowing from petroleum will not reach local communities and citizens. Against the backdrop above, this thesis examines the legal framework governing the management of petroleum revenues in Uganda to ascertain how it could be effective. Based on a normative research employing literature review and doctrinal methods, it claims that legal mechanisms, which ensure and enhance government accountability and transparency, will address the weaknesses and enhance the effectiveness of the legal regime.
Midlatitude ocean-atmosphere interaction in an idealized coupled model

description: Interannual-to-interdecadal ocean-atmosphere interaction in midlatitudes is studied using an idealized coupled model consisting of eddy resolving two-layer quasi-geostrophic oceanic and atmospheric components with a simple diagnostic oceanic mixed layer. The model solutions exhibit structure and variability that resemble qualitatively some aspects of the observed climate variability over the North Atlantic. The atmospheric climatology is characterized by a zonally modulated jet. The single-basin ocean climatology consists of a midlatitude double jet that represents the Gulf Stream and Labrador currents, which are parts of the subtropical and subpolar gyres, respectively. The leading mode of the atmospheric low-frequency variability consists predominantly of meridional displacements of the zonal jet, with a local maximum over the ocean. The first basin-scale mode of sea-surface temperature has a red power spectrum, is largely of one polarity and bears qualitative similarities with the observed interdecadal mode identified by Kushnir. A warm sea-surface temperature anomaly is accompanied by anomalously low atmospheric pressure, an intensified model Gulf Stream and a weakened Labrador current. This mode is found not to be affected significantly by oceanic coupling. In the western part of the basin, this sea-surface temperature pattern is shown to be forced by the slowest components of the surface-wind anomaly through a delayed modulation of the baroclinic time-dependent boundary currents which advect mean SST, with synchronous variations in the two oceanic jets. The response in the east is found to be dominated by local atmospheric forcing. Basin-scale intrinsic oceanic variability consists of a damped oceanic oscillatory mode in the baroclinic flow field that is excited by the atmospheric noise. Its period is around 5.5 years, but it has a negligible influence on the evolution of sea-surface temperature. Important for this mode's excitation is the meridional position of the atmospheric center of action relative to the ocean gyres.

description: Editors: Torsten Åkesson and Steinar Stapnes The design of a primary electron beam facility at CERN is described. The study has been carried out within the framework of the wider Physics Beyond Colliders study. It re-enables the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) as an electron accelerator, and leverages the development invested in Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) technology for its injector and as an accelerator research and development infrastructure. The facility would be relevant for several of the key priorities in the 2020 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics, such as an electron-positron Higgs factory, accelerator R&D, dark sector physics, and neutrino physics. In addition, it could serve experiments in nuclear physics. The electron beam delivered by this facility would provide access to light dark matter production significantly beyond the targets predicted by a thermal dark matter origin, and for natures of dark matter particles that are not accessible by direct detection experiments. It would also enable electro-nuclear measurements crucial for precise modelling the energy dependence of neutrino-nucleus interactions, which is needed to precisely measure neutrino oscillations as a function of energy. The implementation of the facility is the natural next step in the development of X-band high-gradient acceleration technology, a key technology for compact and cost-effective electron/positron linacs. It would also become the only facility with multi-GeV drive bunches and truly independent electron witness bunches for plasma wakefield acceleration. A second phase capable to deliver positron witness bunches would make it a complete facility for plasma wakefield collider studies. The facility would be used for the development and studies of a large number of components and phenomena for a future electron-positron Higgs and electroweak factory as the first stage of a next circular collider at CERN, and its cavities in the SPS would be the same type as foreseen for such a future collider. The operation of the SPS with electrons would train a new generation of CERN staff on circular electron accelerators. The facility could start operation in about five years, and would operate in parallel and without interference with Run 4 of the LHC.

description: Ischemic injury may lead to structural remodeling and progressive loss of function, resulting in eventual decompensation to heart failure. Acellular biologic ECM scaffolds retain their native 3-D architecture along with a profile of bioactive constituents that may be leveraged surgically to support myocardial healing. In a proof of concept study, we have previously identified FGF-2 bound to the acellular ECM scaffolds. As such, we hypothesized that FGF-2-dependent bioinductive signaling from surgically implanted acellular scaffolds may attenuate maladaptive structural remodeling and improve functional recovery post-myocardial infarction (MI). First, we observed that FGF-2 has potent anti-fibrotic properties that limited human cardiac fibroblast activation and cell-mediated ECM dysregulation in an in vitro 3-D model. Biochemical characterization showed that ECM scaffolds intact with bioactive constituents released FGF-2 under passive conditions. In a rodent model of myocardial infarction, animals that received intact ECM scaffolds following ischemic injury showed improved functional recovery with evidence of new blood vessel assembly underlying the implantation site. The functional benefits and neovascularization processes were absent in animals that received inactivated scaffolds where FGF-2 bioavailability was limited. The FGF-2-dependent bioinductive effect favorably targeted cardiac fibroblasts, who demonstrated phenotypic plasticity away from a pro-fibrotic phenotype and towards a pro-reparative vasculogenic phenotype. The anti-fibrotic effects of acellular ECM scaffold-derived FGF-2 were consistent with our in vitro studies, however the phenotypic change was unexpected. The redirection in fibroblast phenotype was associated with a modified cardiac scar characterized by a pro-vasculogenic paracrine microenvironment capable of supporting new blood vessel formation and attenuating fibrotic processes. Once again, limiting FGF-2 bioavailability from the ECM scaffolds or blocking FGF receptors in cardiac fibroblasts abolished the induced vasculogenic phenotype. We extended our observations to human subjects where biologic scaffolds were surgically implanted at the site of ischemic injury as an adjunct to standard surgical revascularization. In patients with severe microvascular obstruction and concomitant cardiac dysfunction, acellular biologic scaffolds improved global scar volume and stimulated regional recovery of resting myocardial perfusion. In summary, acellular biologic scaffolds stimulate myocardial healing following ischemic injury through FGF-2-dependent bioinductive signaling that modifies the ischemic scar to support neovascularization, adaptive remodeling, and functional recovery.
No longer Male: Masculinity Struggles behind Galatians 3:28?
Creators: name: Kahl, Brigitte W.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2000
Subjects: Theology

description: Feminist and liberation oriented readings rather commonly have treated the baptismal formula of Gal. 3.26-28 as a kind of ET, a lovely lonely alien unhappily trapped in the hostile matter of a Pauline letter. While testifying to an egalitarian life practice in the congregations before, besides, and against Paul, it is considered to fit only loosely into the specific context of Galatians: Paul mainly quotes the baptismal unity of Jew and Greek as he wants to dissuade the Galatian Gentiles from getting circumcised as Jews. The emancipatory message, however, of slave/free and male/female becoming one in Christ—if it is emancipatory at all—is mostly irrelevant to the rest of the Galatian debate and to the patriarchal mindset of Paul in general.
Flux Discharge Cascades in Various Dimensions

description: We study the dynamics of electric flux discharge by charged particle pair or spherical string or membrane production in various dimensions. When electric flux wraps at least one compact cycle, we find that a single "pair" production event can initiate a cascading decay in real time that "shorts out" the flux and discharges many units of it. This process arises from local dynamics in the compact space, and so is invisible in the dimensionally-reduced truncation. It occurs in theories as simple as the Schwinger model on a circle, and has implications for any theory with compact dimensions and electric flux, including string theories and the string landscape.

A Visual Interaction Cue Framework from Video Game Environments for Augmented Reality

description: Based on an analysis of 49 popular contemporary video games, I develop a descriptive framework of visual interaction cues in video games. These cues are used to inform players what can be interacted with, where to look, and where to go within the game world. These cues vary along three dimensions: the purpose of the cue, the visual design of the cue, and the circumstances under which the cue is shown. I demonstrate that this framework can also be used to describe interaction cues for augmented reality applications. Beyond this, I show how the framework can be used to generatively derive new design ideas for visual interaction cues in augmented reality experiences and use the framework as a guide to create three novel AR prototypes. Finally, I suggest design considerations for the creation of visual interaction cues for augmented reality and examine how the framework might be employed in future work.

Health promoting elementary schools in British Columbia : an analysis of school websites
Creators: name: Jacobs, Melissa Anna
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this study was to explore the Comprehensive School Health approach and its influence on a school's culture of health. In this study, school websites were analyzed for healthy school words, sentences, and placement of content to determine how well three schools in British Columbia are making use of technology for the purpose of sharing attributes of Health Promoting Schools within their school communities. The schools chosen were categorized by the number of years they had been members of the Healthy Schools Network of British Columbia and were located in communities rated “low” and “lowest” vulnerable in the section of Physical Health and Well-Being of the Early Development Instrument. The study was divided into four phases: 1) A pilot study was executed which resulted in a tool for the quantitative analysis; 2) An in-depth qualitative and quantitative content analysis of provincial school websites was conducted classifying healthy school terms into the four pillars of the Comprehensive School Health framework; 3) A thematic analysis of the qualitative data was conducted formulating fifteen themes; and 4) A final analysis was performed which examined the locations or communication trends of healthy schools terms on the websites. Results from the analyses revealed that the health content terms were focused mostly in the Comprehensive School Health categories of Teaching and Learning (26%) and Social and Physical Environment (37%) while 50% of the healthy schools terms were found to be located in school newsletters. This study found that schools did not utilize their websites to support the teaching and learning of the British Columbia Ministry of Education Healthy Living and Physical Education curriculum. Also missing from school websites were Healthy Schools Policy documents and information on teacher wellness. A Comprehensive School Health conceptual framework of attributes of Health Promoting Schools was created from the results.
Mapping Earth Analogs from Photometric Variability: Spin-Orbit Tomography for Planets in Inclined Orbits

description: Aiming at obtaining detailed information of surface environment of Earth analogs, Kawahara & Fujii (2011) proposed an inversion technique of annual scattered light curves named the spin-orbit tomography (SOT), which enables one to sketch a two-dimensional albedo map from annual variation of the disk-integrated scattered light, and demonstrated the method with a planet in a face-on orbit. We extend it to be applicable to general geometric configurations, including low-obliquity planets like the Earth in inclined orbits. We simulate light curves of the Earth in an inclined orbit in three photometric bands (0.4-0.5um, 0.6-0.7um, and 0.8-0.9um) and show that the distribution of clouds, snow, and continents is retrieved with the aid of the SOT. We also demonstrate the SOT by applying it to an upright Earth, a tidally locked Earth, and Earth analogs with ancient continental configurations. The inversion is model independent in the sense that we do not assume specific albedo models when mapping the surface, and hence applicable in principle to any kind of inhomogeneity. This method can potentially serve as a unique tool to investigate the exohabitats/exoclimes of Earth analogs.
