Prolegomenon to the study of Hebrews’ use of scripture : a methodological, textual, and bibliographic inquiry
Creators: name: Desjardins, Michel Robert
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis is principally an examination of modern research concerning the author of Hebrews' use of Scripture.lt focuses on how recent interpreters of this letter have supported their theories. The paper's intent is to show that modern research in a variety of fields is making it increasingly more difficult for the interprete to arrive at conclusions that can be confidently backed. This study covers the areas that are considered to be important for understanding Hebrews' use of Scripture. Chapter two examines the attempts made to determine the precise Biblical text(s) that the author of Hebrews used as a basis for his exegesis. The evidence indicates that it is becoming more and more difficult to determine what the original text(s) could have been. We do not even know whether the author of Hebrews had before him a version of the Bible-be it Greek or Hebrew--or a collection of pre-arranged Biblical texts be it a set of testimonia or a list of liturgical passages. Chapter three reviews the exegetical practices of Hebrews' contemporaries, insofar as they bear on Hebrews, as well as the terms now used to describe some of these practices. The conclusion is that Hebrews' contemporaries, represented in part by the rabbinic and targumic works, as well as by the Apocryphal literature and the writings of Phi 1o and the Qumran sectaries, appear to help us very little in better understanding his use of Scripture. Furthermore we see that under close scrutiny the seemingly simple terms "midrash, "allegory," and "typology" become difficult to accurately delimit. The interpreter of Hebrews who wishes to use these terms must then either define them precisely, or refrain from using them altogether.

description: Дефицит йода, помимо развития увеличения щитовидной железы — зоба, приводит к ряду других патологических состояний, которые принято называть йоддефицитными заболеваниями. Спектр йоддефицитных заболеваний широк и зависит от того, в каком периоде жизни происходит воздействие недостатка йода на организм. Недостаток йода в период беременности и эмбрионального развития приводит к высокой распространенности спонтанных абортов, особенно в I триместр беременности; высокой перинатальной и детской смертности, врожденным порокам развития, врожденному гипотиреозу с отставанием в физическом и умственном развитии. В детском и подростковом возрасте дефицит йода сопровождается увеличением щитовидной железы, в ряде случаев с нарушением или задержкой физического, умственного и полового развития. В зрелом периоде дефицит йода сопровождается различной степенью увеличения щитовидной железы. Кретинизм на йоддефицитных территориях встречается с частотой от 1 до 10%.
Methods for the analysis of time series of multispectral remote sensing images and application to climate change variable estimations

description: In the last decades, the increasing number of new generation satellite images characterized by a better spectral, spatial and temporal resolution with respect to the past has provided unprecedented source of information for monitoring climate changes. To exploit this wealth of data, powerful and automatic methods to analyze remote sensing images need to be implemented. Accordingly, the objective of this thesis is to develop advanced methods for the analysis of multitemporal multispectral remote sensing images to support climate change applications. The thesis is divided into two main parts and provides four novel contributions to the state-of-the-art. In the first part of the thesis, we exploit multitemporal and multispectral remote sensing data for accurately monitoring two essential climate variables. The first contribution presents a method to improve the estimation of the glacier mass balance provided by physically-based models. Unlike most of the literature approaches, this method integrates together physically-based models, remote sensing data and in-situ measurements to achieve an accurate and comprehensive glacier mass balance estimation. The second contribution addresses the land cover mapping for monitoring climate change at high spatial resolution. Within this work, we developed two processing chains: one for the production of a recent (2019) static high resolution (10 m) land cover map at subcontinental scale, and the other for the production of a long-term record of regional high resolution (30 m) land cover maps. The second part of this thesis addresses the common challenges faced while performing the analysis of multitemporal multispectral remote sensing data. In this context, the third contribution deals with the multispectral images cloud occlusions problem. Differently from the literature, instead of performing computationally expensive cloud restoration techniques, we study the robustness of deep learning architectures such as Long Short Term Memory classifier to cloud cover. Finally, we address the problem of the large scale training set definition for multispectral data classification. To this aim, we propose an approach that leverages on available low resolution land cover maps and domain adaptation techniques to provide representative training sets at large scale. The proposed methods have been tested on Sentinel-2 and Landsat 5, 7, 8 multispectral images. Qualitative and quantitative experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the methods proposed in this thesis.
The targum (1970:Apr. 01 - 1970:Apr. 30)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1970

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: Una escena de la serie de televisión Lonesome Dove (1989), un wéstern basado en la novela homónima escrita por Larry McMurty, muestra a los protagonistas persiguiendo a un amigo que se ha convertido en cuatrero. Lo buscan para ahorcarlo, ya que, además de ladrón, ha asesinado a unos agricultores. Al encontrarlo, con justicia expedita, lo cuelgan de un árbol. El lector reconocerá imágenes similares en otras obras que representan ese período histórico. Ante ellas, el libro de Terry Lee Anderson y Peter Jensen Jill, El no tan salvaje oeste. Los derechos de propiedad en la frontera, plantea una lectura distinta: la construcción del orden en el Oeste mediante la cooperación. O, a partir de la escena descrita, Anderson y Jill propondrían fijarse no en el ahorcado, sino en qué posibilitó la colaboración entre sus perseguidores.

Steady state self-consistent model for pulsar magnetospheres
Creators: name: Leahy, Denis Alan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A steady state self-consistent model for a pulsar magnetosphere is developed. It is shown that the central neutron star of a pulsar should possess a magnetosphere. In the first approximation, the inertia of the magnetospheric particles is neglected. Steady state corotating models are developed to calculate the structure of the magnetosphere for the axisymmetric case and the case of the arbitrarily oriented dipole. Two results are that charge density is proportional to the z component of the magnetic field and that the z component of the magnetic field vanishes at the light cylinder. The light cylinder is where the corotation velocity reaches the speed of light. The pulsar spin axis is aligned with the z axis. Illustrations of the fields are presented for the cases of magnetic dipole axis parallel and perpendicular to the spin axis. Next these models are altered to take into account the nonzero mass of the particles in the magnetosphere. An extra electric field is required to hold the particles in corotation. Charge separation is assumed. The following results are found: 1) Field lines which previously were horizontal inside the light cylinder, now have a cusp in them where they were horizontal. This cusp increases in size as its location approaches the light cylinder. 2) Field lines no longer are horizontal at the light cylinder but ertical, and divide into two groups those with positive B[sub z] (carrying negative charge) and those with negative (carrying positive charge). We next cease to require that the particles be fixed in the corotating frame. First the single particle motion is calculated for arbitrary fields, assuming small velocities in the rotating frame. We find that the motion can be separated into a slow drift along streamlines(which very nearly follow magnetic field lines) and a spiraling about these streamlines. The energy is conserved, and can be separated into a longitudinal and a transverse energy associated with the two types of motion. The transverse energy divided by the frequency of spiraling is an adiabatic invariant. For the axisymmetric case, a model is developed from which the fields, charge density, and velocities can be computed. With a restriction on the boundary conditions, an analytical model is outlined for the case of arbitrary magnetic multipoles.

description: Essential oils obtained from the aerial parts of Phlomis bucharica, P. salicifolia and P. sewerzowii were determined using GC-FID and GC-MS methods. A total of 76 components were identified in the three species representing 97.12, 88.34, and 96.41% of the whole oil, respectively. High percentages of thymol (20.41%) and camphor (14.46%) exist in P. bucharica oil. Methyl palmitate predominates in P. salicifolia oil representing 51.15% whereas thymol (35.76%) is the major constituent in P. sewerzowii essential oil. GC-MS analyses showed that P. bucharica and P. sewerzowii are more closely related comparable to P. salicifolia. The antimicrobial activity of the essential oils was assessed against different microorganisms using agar-disc diffusion and broth microdilution assay. Among the three tested species, the essential oil of P. salicifolia showed the highest antibacterial activity.
Co-operative housing : a study of user satisfaction
Creators: name: Davidson, Jill
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the satisfaction which co-operative housing members experience during the process of obtaining and living in their dwellings. With the recent surge of growth of housing co-operatives in British Columbia, an evaluation of this form of tenure seems timely. Traditionally evaluation studies have assessed a program or agency by relying on the input of the administrators. Although several government studies have investigated co-operative housing, little work has been completed which assesses this type of tenure from the user point of view. A distinctive characteristic of co-operative housing is the opportunity for the members to be totally involved in the planning and management of the project. This study therefore evaluates co-operative housing by investigating the satisfaction which users derive from their living environment. Members of co-operatives in the Greater Vancouver Regional District whose projects were completed or in the planning stages were personally interviewed and factors relating to satisfaction were discussed. From this survey, it became clear that the majority of people are very satisfied with their housing and the process they experienced to obtain it. In the case of completed projects, satisfaction was strongly linked with co-operators' perceptions of a strong sense of community, attendance at recent co-operative housing meetings, understanding of co-operative ownership, the kind's of-expectations of co-operative living which members have, and previous co-operative experience. For members of projects in the planning stages satisfaction was linked with understanding of co-operative ownership, ability to contact the co-operative's Board of Directors and desire to join other co-operative activities. Recommendations for improving or influencing those factors which are related to satisfaction are suggested. Two major issues emerged that relate to the co-operative housing movement in general. These are: user participation in the planning and management of the project, and member education. It is suggested that by enlarging and improving the education program the financial and social responsibilities of co-operative housing will be better understood and more people will take advantage of the opportunity to participate.

description: Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs) are a sub-class of High Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) associated with OB supergiant companions and displaying transient X-ray activity. This behaviour is quite surprising since HMXBs hosting supergiants were known to be persistent sources, until the INTEGRAL discoveries obtained by means of the monitoring of the Galactic plane. We have been performing a monitoring campaign with Swift of four SFXTs with the main aim of characterizing both the long-term behaviour of these transients and the properties during bright outbursts. Here we discuss the properties of the X-ray emission observed outside the outbursts as well as the flares observed from two SFXTs: IGRJ17544-2916 and XTEJ1739-302. Contrarily to what previously thought, Swift allowed us to discover that SFXTs spend most of the time in accretion at a low level, even outside the bright outbursts, with an accretion luminosity of 1E33-1E34 erg/s, and that the quiescent level at ~1E32 erg/s is a much rarer state.

description: The perturbative construction of the S-matrix in the causal spacetime approach of Epstein and Glaser may be interpreted as a method of regularization for divergent Feynman diagrams. The results of any method of regularization must be equivalent to those obtained from the Epstein-Glaser (EG) construction, within the freedom left by the latter. In particular, the conceptually well-defined approach of Bogoliubov, Parasuk, Hepp, and Zimmermann (BPHZ), though conceptually different from EG, meets this requirement. Based on this equivalence we propose a modified BPHZ procedure which provides a significant simplification of the techniques of perturbation theory, and which applies equally well to standard quantum field theory and to chiral theories. We illustrate the proposed method by a number of examples of various orders in perturbation theory. At the level of multi-loop diagrams we find that subdiagrams as classified by Zimmermann's forest formula in BPHZ may be restricted to subdiagrams in the sense of Epstein-Glaser, thus entailing an important reduction of actual computations. Furthermore, the relationship of our approach to the method of dimensional regularization is particularly transparent, without having to invoke analytic continuation to unphysical spacetime dimension, and sheds new light on certain parameters within dimensional regularization.

description: We compute the orbital magnetization in real materials by evaluating a recently discovered formula for periodic systems, within density functional theory. We obtain improved values of the orbital magnetization in the ferromagnetic metals Fe, Co, and Ni, by taking into account the contribution of the interstitial regions neglected so far in literature. We also use the orbital magnetization to compute the EPR $g$-tensor in molecules and solids. The present approach reproduces the $g$-tensor obtained by linear response (LR), when the spin-orbit can be treated as a perturbation. However, it can also be applied to radicals and defects with an orbital-degenerate ground-state or containing heavy atoms, that can not be properly described by LR.

description: Many epidemic processes in networks spread by stochastic contacts among their connected vertices. There are two limiting cases widely analyzed in the physics literature, the so-called contact process (CP) where the contagion is expanded at a certain rate from an infected vertex to one neighbor at a time, and the reactive process (RP) in which an infected individual effectively contacts all its neighbors to expand the epidemics. However, a more realistic scenario is obtained from the interpolation between these two cases, considering a certain number of stochastic contacts per unit time. Here we propose a discrete-time formulation of the problem of contact-based epidemic spreading. We resolve a family of models, parameterized by the number of stochastic contact trials per unit time, that range from the CP to the RP. In contrast to the common heterogeneous mean-field approach, we focus on the probability of infection of individual nodes. Using this formulation, we can construct the whole phase diagram of the different infection models and determine their critical properties.

description: We use the factorization method to find the exact eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for a particle in a box with the delta function potential $V(x)=λδ(x-x_{0})$. We show that the presence of the potential results in the discontinuity of the corresponding ladder operators. The presence of the delta function potential allows us to obtain the full spectrum in the first step of the factorization procedure even in the weak coupling limit $λ\to 0$.

description: The young composite supernova remnant (SNR) Kesteven 75, with a pulsar wind nebula at its center, has an unusual morphology with a bright southern half-shell structure in multiwavelengths. The distance to Kes 75 has long been uncertain. Aiming to address these issues, we have made millimeter spectroscopic observations of the molecular gas toward the remnant. The V_{LSR}~83--96 km/s molecular clouds (MCs) are found to overlap a large north-western region of the remnant and are suggested to be located in front of the SNR along the line of sight. Also in the remnant area, the V_{LSR}= 45--58 km/s MC shows a blue-shifted broadening in the 12CO (J=1-0) line profile and a perturbed position-velocity structure near the edge of the remnant, with the intensity centroid sitting in the northern area of the remnant. In particular, a cavity surrounded by a molecular shell is unveiled in the intensity map in the broadened blue wing (45--51 km/s), and the southern molecular shell follows the bright partial SNR shell seen in X-rays, mid-infrared, and radio continuum. These observational features provide effective evidences for the association of Kes 75 with the adjacent 54 km/s MC. This association leads to a determination of the kinematic distance at ~10.6 kpc to the remnant, which agrees with a location at the far side of the Sagittarius arm. The morphological coincidence of the shell seen in multiwavelengths is consistent with a scenario in which the SNR shock hits a pre-existing dense shell. This dense molecular shell is suggested to likely represent the debris of the cooled, clumpy shell of the progenitor's wind bubble proximately behind the 54 km/s cloud. The discovery of the association with MC provides a possible explanation for the gamma-ray excess of the remnant.

description: V371 Per was found to be a double-mode Cepheid with a fundamental mode period of 1.738 days, the shortest among Galactic beat Cepheids, and an unusually high period ratio of 0.731, while the other Galactic beat Cepheids have period ratios between 0.697 and 0.713. The latter suggests that the star has a metallicity [Fe/H] between -1 and -0.7. The derived distance from the Galactic Plane places it in the Thick Disk or the Halo, while all other Galactic beat Cepheids belong to the Thin Disk. There are indications from historical data that both the fundamental and first overtone periods have lengthened.

description: In this paper, a new quantum mechanical method to extract energy from black holes with contracting horizons is proposed. The method is based on a gedanken experiment on quantum energy teleportation (QET), which has been recently proposed in quantum information theory. We consider this QET protocol for N massless fields in near-horizon regions of large-mass black holes with near-horizon geometry described by the Minkowski metric. For each field, a two-level spin is strongly coupled with the local quantum fluctuation outside the horizon during a short time period. After the measurement of N fields, N-bit information is obtained. During the measurement, positive-energy wave packets of the fields form and then fall into the black hole. The amount of excitation energy is independent of the measurement result. After absorption of the wave packets and increase of the black hole mass, a measurement-result-dependent local operation of the N fields is performed outside the horizon. Then, accompanying the extraction of positive energy from the quantum fluctuation by the operation, negative-energy wave packets of the fields form and then fall into the black hole, decreasing the black hole mass. This implies that a part of the absorbed positive energy emitted from the measurement devices is effectively retrieved from the black hole via the measurement results.

description: Cosmologies with running cosmological term (Lambda) and gravitational Newton's coupling (G) may naturally be expected if the evolution of the universe can ultimately be derived from the first principles of Quantum Field Theory or String Theory. In this paper, we derive the general cosmological perturbation equations for models with variable G and Lambda in which the fluctuations in both variables are explicitly included. We demonstrate that, if matter is covariantly conserved, the late growth of matter density perturbations is independent of the wavenumber. Furthermore, if Lambda is negligible at high redshifts and G varies slowly, we find that these cosmologies produce a matter power spectrum with the same shape as that of the concordance LCDM model, thus predicting the same basic features on structure formation. Despite this shape indistinguishability, the free parameters of the variable G and Lambda models can still be effectively constrained from the observational bounds on the spectrum amplitude.

description: Incoherent scattering of photons off two remote atoms with a Lambda-level structure is used as a basic Young-type interferometer to herald long-lived entanglement of an arbitrary degree. The degree of entanglement, as measured by the concurrence, is found to be tunable by two easily accessible experimental parameters. Fixing one of them to certain values unveils an analog to the Malus' law. An estimate of the variation in the degree of entanglement due to uncertainties in an experimental realization is given.

Population dynamics of Microtus townsendii in a linear habitat

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The population dynamics of Microtus townsendii in a linear habitat were monitored weekly for one year (June, 1971-August, 1972). Demographic characteristics such as location on study area, sex, weight (age), reproductive condition, and survival were recorded weekly. An Intensive study of early Juvenile survival was also undertaken. The population was observed to decline in the spring of 1972 from peak densities the previous summer and early spring. The decline did not appear to result from decreased reproductive effort or dispersal, but could be explained solely on the basis of mortality. Several observations were made which did not follow the usual demographic trends in microtine population biology. Extremely high densities with small home ranges for individuals were found on the linear study area as compared with areas of continuous habitat. This population became sexually mature at much lower body weights than other populations of Microtus townsendii in the area and average body weights were lower, although growth rates were comparable.
