description: Bubble nucleation in weakly supersaturated solutions of carbon dioxide - such as champagne, sparkling wines and carbonated beers - is well understood. Bubbles grow and detach from nucleation sites: gas pockets trapped within hollow cellulose fibres. This mechanism appears not to be active in stout beers that are supersaturated solutions of nitrogen and carbon dioxide. In their canned forms these beers require additional technology (widgets) to release the bubbles which will form the head of the beer. We extend the mathematical model of bubble nucleation in carbonated liquids to the case of two gasses and show that this nucleation mechanism is active in stout beers, though substantially slower than in carbonated beers and confirm this by observation. A rough calculation suggests that despite the slowness of the process, applying a coating of hollow porous fibres to the inside of a can or bottle could be a potential replacement for widgets.

description: Efficient passivation of interface defects is crucial in the development of efficient amorphous silicon / crystalline silicon heterojunction solar cells. Pre-treatment of the crystalline silicon wafer prior to the amorphous-silicon deposition determines the density of interface defects to a large degree. In addition, the deposition of the passivation layer itself determines the density of interface defects. By modulated photoluminescence, we study the influence of these interface defects on the recombination of excess carriers in wafers with different passivation schemes. Emphasis is laid on the deposition of amorphous-silicon passivation layers, which will also be part of the final solar cell. The analysis of modulated photoluminescence shows that the effective lifetime can be determined from the frequency response of the photoluminescence signal. For the modulated photoluminescence measurements at room-temperature, we detail the excitation-density dependence of the excess-carrier lifetime and compare its variation for different passivation schemes. From the excitation-density dependence, we draw conclusions on the energetic variation in the density-of-states of the interface defects and the absolute density.

description: The line driven- and rotation modulated-wind theory predicts an alternative slow solution, besides from the standard m-CAK solution, when the rotational velocity is close to the critical velocity. We study the behaviour of the winds of A-type supergiants (Asg) and show that under particular conditions, e.g., when the δline-force parameter is about 0.25, the slow solution could exist over the whole star, even for the cases when the rotational speed is slow or zero. We discuss density and velocity profiles as well as possible observational counterparts.

The fabrication of an acrylic repositioning stent for use during intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) : a feasibility study
Creators: name: Lee, Vincent Sung Kin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Objectives: Radiation therapy is one of the main treatment modalities for malignant head and neck cancers. To minimize the damage to normal tissues during radiation therapy, various methods of stabilization have been utilized, including thermoplastic facemasks and bite blocks. Our goal is to assess the feasibility of a customized oral repositioning stent and its potential benefits. Methods: Ethics Approval: Approval for this project was obtained through the BC Cancer Agency Research Ethics Board. Participants: 10 consecutive patients scheduled to undergo Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) for cancers of the maxillary sinus, nasal cavity or oral cavity were recruited and consented to participate in the study. Radiation stent fabrication: Hard baseplate wax was used to create a customized wax pattern of the proposed acrylic stent at chair side and the customized wax pattern was processed in heat-cured clear hard acrylic overnight. Measuring the Stability of the Patient Position: Utilizing data from the daily KeV images, the relative stability of the patient setup was assessed. Monitoring of side effects: Participants completed a questionnaire to evaluate side effects. Assessments were performed at four time points at: baseline; 3 weeks (mid-treatment); last day of radiation (6-weeks); and 3-months post-IMRT. Results: A new workflow protocol has been developed and implemented at the BCCA. Patient stability data demonstrated mean vertical, longitudinal and lateral variations that were not statistically different when compared to two retrospective cohorts. Descriptive analysis of the questionnaire data seems to indicate a similar trend for self-reported oral symptoms as described in the literature. Conclusion: It is possible to fabricate customized repositioning stents for HN cancer patients without affecting their IMRT treatment timeline. In addition, while utilizing the customized repositioning stent we were also able to maintain patient stability comparable to prior protocols and within a range of clinical guidelines as no patients’ treatments were aborted.

description: Within the framework of QCD factorization (QCDF), power corrections due to penguin annihilation can account for theobserved rates of penguin-dominated two-body decays of $B$ mesons and direct CP asymmetries $A_{CP}(K^-π^+)$, $A_{CP}((K^{*-}π^+)$, $A_{CP}((K^-ρ^0)$ and $A_{CP}((π^+π^-)$. However, the predicted direct CP-violating effects in QCDF for $B^-\to K^-π^0,K^-η,π^-η$ and $\bar B^0\toπ^0π^0$ are wrong in signs when confronted with experiment. We consider two different types of power correction effects in order to resolve the CP puzzles and rate deficit problems with penguin-dominated two-body decays of $B$ mesons and color-suppressed tree-dominated $π^0π^0$ and $ρ^0π^0$ modes: penguin annihilation and soft corrections to the color-suppressed tree amplitude.

description: This article presents the results of several magnetic phases of doped La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ using density-functional theory with an added Hubbard term (DFT+U). Doping factors from $x=0$ to 0.25 were examined. We found that a bond centered stripe is the magnetic ground state for $x=1/8$ and $x=1/4$. No stable stripe order was found for $x=1/6$. Analysis of the electron density revealed that apical oxygen atoms, those located above and below the copper atoms in the CuO$_2$ planes, hold a non negligible part of the holes at large doping and present a small spin polarization. Finally, the charge reorganization caused by the magnetic stripe modulation was studied for bond centered and atom centered stripes.

Umayyad Jerusalem and the production of social spaces

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Following the Islamic conquest of Jerusalem in the early 7th century, the new rulers of the city almost immediately began a series of architectural, administrative, and urban development projects. I will be focusing specifically on several projects undertaken during the Umayyad dynasty. So far, there have been extensive discussions locating the ways in which the Umayyads made political and religious claims to Jerusalem. I will expand on this scholarship by looking at and integrating a third facet: the social. By examining how, during the Umayyad period, new public spaces were produced and used in Jerusalem, how construction projects attracted and retained skilled workers in the city, and how the government and the community encouraged and demonstrated an amenability towards a dynamic economy, we will broaden our understanding of how cities are built in both medieval and current contexts. More specifically, it will reveal how a social method contributed to an Islamic claim to Jerusalem, but at the same time, establish the city as a destination point for travelers of diverse backgrounds.

description: Context. To further understand the processes involved in the formation of massive stars, we have undertaken a study of the gas dynamics surrounding three massive star forming regions. By observing the large scale structures at high resolution, we are able to determine properties such as driving source, and spatially resolve the bulk dynamical properties of the gas such as infall and outflow. Aims. With high resolution observations, we are able to determine which of the cores in a cluster forming massive stars is responsible for the large scale structures. Methods. We present CO observations of three massive star forming regions with known HII regions and show how the CO traces both infall and outflow. By combining data taken in two SMA configurations with JCMT observations, we are able to see large scale structures at high resolution. Results. We find large (0.26-0.40 pc), massive (2-3 M_sun) and energetic (13-17 \times 10^44 erg) outflows emanating from the edges of two HII regions suggesting they are being powered by the protostar(s) within. We find infall signatures in two of our sources with mass infall rates of order 10-4 M_sun/yr. Conclusions. We suggest that star formation is ongoing in these sources despite the presence of HII regions. We further conclude that the source(s) within a single HII region are responsible for the observed large scale structures; that these large structures are not the net effect of multiple outflows from multiple HII regions and hot cores.

description: The work presents a novel method for the detection of mutual phase synchronization in non-stationary time series. We show how the application of a cluster algorithm that considers spatio-temporal structures of data follows from the general condition of phase-synchronized data. In view of the topology of phasic data, we re-formulate the 햪-Means cluster algorithm on a flat torus and apply a segmentation index derived in an earlier work (Physica D 177,203-232(2003)). This index is extended by means of averaging in order to reflect phase synchronization in ensembles of multivariate time series. The method is illustrated using simulated multivariate phase dynamics and arrays of chaotic systems, in which temporal segments of phase-synchronized states are registered. A comparison with results from an existing bivariate synchronization index reveals major advantages of our method.

description: We present results from a WIYN 3.5m telescope imaging study of the globular cluster (GC) systems of the edge-on spiral galaxies NGC891 and NGC4013. We used the 10' x 10' Minimosaic Imager to observe the galaxies in BVR filters to projected radii of ~20 kpc from the galaxy centers. We combined the WIYN data with archival and published data from WFPC2 and ACS on the Hubble Space Telescope to assess the contamination level of the WIYN GC candidate sample and to follow the GC systems further in toward the galaxies' centers. We constructed radial distributions for the GC systems using both the WIYN and HST data. The GC systems of NGC891 and NGC4013 extend to 9+/-3 kpc and 14+/-5 kpc, respectively, before falling off to undetectable levels in our images. We use the radial distributions to calculate global values for the total number (N_GC) and specific frequencies (S_N and T) of GCs. NGC4013 has N_GC = 140+/-20, S_N = 1.0+/-0.2 and T = 1.9+/-0.5; our N_GC value is ~40% smaller than a previous determination from the literature. The HST data were especially useful for NGC891, because the GC system is concentrated toward the plane of the galaxy and was only weakly detected in our WIYN images. Although NGC891 is thought to resemble the Milky Way in its overall properties, it has only half as many GCs, with N_GC = 70+/-20, S_N = 0.3+/-0.1 and T = 0.6+/-0.3. We also calculate the galaxy-mass-normalized number of blue (metal-poor) GCs in NGC891 and NGC4013 and find that they fall along a general trend of increasing specific frequency of blue GCs with increasing galaxy mass. Given currently available resources, the optimal method for studying the global properties of extragalactic GC systems is to combine HST data with wide-field, ground-based imaging with good resolution. The results here demonstrate the advantage gained by using both methods when possible.

description: We present a theoretical framework using quorum-percolation for describing the initiation of activity in a neural culture. The cultures are modeled as random graphs, whose nodes are excitatory neurons with kin inputs and kout outputs, and whose input degrees kin = k obey given distribution functions pk. We examine the firing activity of the population of neurons according to their input degree (k) classes and calculate for each class its firing probability Φ_k(t) as a function of t. The probability of a node to fire is found to be determined by its in-degree k, and the first-to-fire neurons are those that have a high k. A small minority of high-k classes may be called "Leaders", as they form an inter-connected subnetwork that consistently fires much before the rest of the culture. Once initiated, the activity spreads from the Leaders to the less connected majority of the culture. We then use the distribution of in-degree of the Leaders to study the growth rate of the number of neurons active in a burst, which was experimentally measured to be initially exponential. We find that this kind of growth rate is best described by a population that has an in-degree distribution that is a Gaussian centered around k = 75 with width σ = 31 for the majority of the neurons, but also has a power law tail with exponent -2 for ten percent of the population. Neurons in the tail may have as many as k = 4, 700 inputs. We explore and discuss the correspondence between the degree distribution and a dynamic neuronal threshold, showing that from the functional point of view, structure and elementary dynamics are interchangeable. We discuss possible geometric origins of this distribution, and comment on the importance of size, or of having a large number of neurons, in the culture.

Improving platinum-based treatments for advanced non-small cell lung cancer
Creators: name: Leung, Ada Wai Yin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Novel treatments are urgently needed for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Currently, these patients are almost always first treated with cisplatin (CDDP)-containing drug combinations. To identify therapeutic targets that could enhance CDDP activity, a genome-wide siRNA screen looking for synthetic lethal partners with low-dose CDDP was completed. These data were combined with results from a microarray study assessing differentially expressed genes in NSCLC cells exposed to low-dose CDDP. The results indicated that 151 genes were differentially expressed in cells exposed to low-dose CDDP. Nine up-regulated genes ranked within the top 10% of the siRNA screen based on a scoring method that considered minimal loss of cell viability from gene knockdown alone and significant enhancement of CDDP activity. Five genes were further validated and two (RRM2B and CABYR) were found to significantly improve the cytotoxic effects of CDDP. Pathways involved in repairing double-stranded DNA breaks and INO80 chromatin remodeling were enriched in both datasets. Analysis of the kinome subset of the siRNA screen also identified PAPSS1 (3’-phosphoadenosine 5’-phosphosulfate synthase 1) as a protein that when silenced sensitized NSCLC cells to CDDP. PAPSS1 produces the biologically active form of sulfate for sulfonation reactions. PAPSS1-silencing combined with low-dose CDDP reduced the clonogenicity of NSCLC cells by 98.7%, increased DNA damage, and induced G1/S phase cell cycle arrest. PAPSS1 suppression also sensitized NSCLC cells to radiation and topoisomerase I inhibitors. Sensitization was cancer cell specific. The extent of CDDP potentiation increased substantially when NSCLC cells were stressed by starvation or hypoxia. In NSCLC cell spheroids and zebrafish xenografts, PAPSS1 silencing in combination with CDDP decreased tumor size, while the same dose of CDDP combined with non-silencing controls led to increases in tumor size. In a subcutaneous tumour model, expression of PAPSS1-targeting shRNA in combination with a non-curative dose of CDDP enhanced activity compared to controls. Future studies are needed to identify small molecule inhibitors and proteins that interact with PAPSS1. These tools will be useful to fully understand the mechanisms by which chemosensitization occurs and such tool compounds may prove useful as therapeutics that would benefit NSCLC patients when first treated.

description: Future communication and computation technologies that exploit quantum information require robust and well-isolated qubits. Electron spins in III-V semiconductor quantum dots, while promising candidates, see their dynamics limited by undesirable hysteresis and decohering effects of the nuclear spin bath. Replacing electrons with holes should suppress the hyperfine interaction and consequently eliminate strong nuclear effects. Using picosecond optical pulses, we demonstrate coherent control of a single hole qubit and examine both free-induction and spin-echo decay. In moving from electrons to holes, we observe significantly reduced hyperfine interactions, evidenced by the reemergence of hysteresis-free dynamics, while obtaining similar coherence times, limited by non-nuclear mechanisms. These results demonstrate the potential of optically controlled, quantum dot hole qubits.

New Project and Tools To Aid In DDI-based Variable Concordance and Harmonization
Creators: name: Smith, Dan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The current research data environment provides many opportunities for linking similar topical datasets and harmonizing extant common variables. The DDI Lifecycle standard supports documenting these linkages, but few software tools are available to facilitate the actual performance of this resource-intensive task. This project uses a DDI based framework to assemble richly-described datasets that are mapped against DDI represented and conceptual variables to identify equivalent concepts and variables. The tools use machine learning and advanced text analysis algorithms to guide the creation of concorded databases (variable crosswalks) that support harmonization and discoverability, both within and across statistical datasets and studies. Specifically, the tools use several human-in-the-loop algorithms to operate as a "recommendation engine" to guide the concordance of potentially equivalent or similar variables among multiple datasets. The goal of this project is to significantly decrease the labor, time, and resources required to create accurate and standardized concorded databases and store the results using the DDI standard.
Elections, political participation, and authoritarian responsiveness in Russia
Creators: name: Gorokhovskaia, Yana

description: For decades, elections were thought of as the necessary but not sufficient condition for democracy. After the end of the Cold War, however, the world witnessed an unprecedented proliferation of regimes that combined the democratic institution of elections with authoritarian practices. Despite the presence of regular and free multi-party elections, these regimes did not liberalize or democratize. However, elections continued to matter and sporadically elections became focal points for social dissent and protest. In a series of three papers, this dissertation examines elections in Russia. The first paper presents an in-depth analysis of the 2013 Moscow mayoral election. I make the argument that in order to secure the legitimacy that elections can bestow, the authorities in this case promoted electoral competition by helping all the candidates for mayor surmount a high procedural barrier to participation. This paper contributes to scholarship on the manipulation of elections which has previously only considered measures that restrict electoral competition. Elections where authorities promote competition are still unlikely to result in opposition victories but may dampen voter participation. The second paper uses Albert Hirschman’s Exit, Voice and Loyalty framework and evidence from twenty-nine semi-structured interviews to analyze political participation in an authoritarian state through the experience of individuals running for local political office in Moscow’s municipalities. I find that citizens without substantial previous political experience, but galvanized by anti-fraud protests, ran successful political campaigns with help from civil society organizations and political parties. Counterintuitively, once in office, they adopted hyper-legal strategies to combat corruption and waste. The third and final paper uses regression analysis to test two explanatory models for electoral competition under authoritarianism: voter preferences and regime manipulation. Relying on an original dataset of protests across Russia’s regions, I find partial support for both models. Previous protest activity both increases electoral competition and provokes more pre-election manipulation of the field of candidates. In addition, voter mobilization in support of regime candidates is especially effective in generating pro-regime results. Replacing long-sitting but economically predatory governors before the election can dampen the impact of voter disapproval again boosting pro-incumbent results.

description: The main objective of this thesis is the measurement of the cosmic ray energy spectrum above \unit[1]{EeV} based on the data recorded at the Pierre Auger Observatory. The continuation of the spectrum in the form of a power law is rejected with a 5.2 sigma significance. The number of events expected if a power law holds,  above 40 EeV  are 167+-3 and 35+- 1 above 100 EeV whereas in the measured flux there are 64 events and 1 event.
Spectroscopy from Photometry Using Sparsity. The SDSS Case Study

description: We explore whether medium-resolution stellar spectra can be reconstructed from photometric observations, taking advantage of the highly compressible nature of the spectra. We formulate the spectral reconstruction as a least-squares problem with a sparsity constraint. In our test case using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, only three broad-band filters are used as input. We demonstrate that reconstruction using three principal components is feasible with these filters, leading to differences with respect to the original spectrum smaller than 5%. We analyze the effect of uncertainties in the observed magnitudes and find that the available high photometric precision induces very small errors in the reconstruction. This process may facilitate the extraction of purely spectroscopic quantities, such as the overall metallicity, for hundreds of millions of stars for which only photometric information is available, using standard techniques applied to the reconstructed spectra.

description: During the last ten years, observations of long-duration gamma-ray bursts brought to the conclusion that at least a fraction of them is associated with bright supernovae of type Ib/c. In this talk, after a short review on the previously observed GRB-SN connection cases, we present the recent case of GRB 100316/SN 2010bh. In particular, during the observational campaign of SN 2010bh, a pivotal role was played by VLT/X-shooter, sampling with unique high quality data the spectral energy distribution of the early evolution phases from the UV to the K band.
