description: We present preliminary results of our spectroscopic campaign of a group of intermediate mass interacting binaries dubbed "Double Periodic Variables" (DPVs), characterized by orbital light curves and additional long photometric cycles recurring roughly after 33 orbital periods (Mennickent et al. 2003, 2005). They have been interpreted as interacting, semi-detached binaries showing cycles of mass loss into the interstellar medium (Mennickent et al. 2008, Mennickent & Kolaczkowski 2009). High resolution Balmer and helium line profiles of DPVs can be interpreted in terms of mass flows in these systems. A system solution is given for LP Ara, based on modeling of the ASAS V-band orbital light curve and the radial velocity of the donor star.

description: A systematic investigation of spin transport properties in silicon at 8 K by using a non-local geometry is presented. The spin injection signal in the non-local scheme is found to increase in proportion to the evolution of bias electric currents. Theoretical fittings using the Hanle-type spin precession signals reveal that the spin polarization of the transported spin in the Si is much less affected by the change in the bias electric current compared with a case of the other spin devices, which induces a unique bias dependence of the spin signals.

Cancer patient decision-making and relational autonomy related to clinical trial participation
Creators: name: Bell, Jennifer Ann Harrison
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Clinical trials (CTs) in cancer care play an essential role in advancing knowledge and improving patient care. Low CT enrolment, however, threatens this field of science and may prevent people with cancer from benefiting from the latest therapeutic interventions. The aim of this research was to explore cancer patients’ CT decision-making process and how they exercise relational autonomy within this process. Relational autonomy acknowledges patients are situated within a larger relational and socio-political context that is characterized by inherent power differentials and social inequities that may influence CT decisions. The objectives of this research were to: a) understand cancer patients’ decision-making process related to CT participation and how they exercise relational autonomy within this process; b) examine the personal, social, and system influences on cancer patients’ decision-making process related to CT participation and their ability to exercise their relational autonomy; and c) identify the best practices utilized by CT personnel that support cancer patients in exercising their relational autonomy in the CT decision-making process. Two different yet complementary methodologies, interpretive description and grounded theory, guided in-depth interviews with 12 CT personnel, 40 breast and prostate cancer patients, and 11 support persons to address the objectives. Three major themes were uncovered that impact cancer patients’ decision-making process and ability to exercise their relational autonomy: (1) power differentials between patients and physicians, (2) therapeutic misconception, and (3) inequities in access to CTs. The overarching construct ‘no wo/man is an island’ captured patients’ CT decision-making process and experiences of autonomy, including the relational complexity of CT decisions and the key influences on this process. Results from this research highlight how CT decision-making is a complex endeavor comprised of key phases and processes that are not only personally but also socially and structurally located. Practice implications of this research include targeted education for CT personnel and patients to equalize power relationships within CT recruitment. In addition, standardization of cancer drug approval, better monitoring and follow-up cancer care, and a more accessible and quality healthcare system can address structural barriers in order to support patients’ relational autonomy within the context of CTs.

description: We investigate electric field effects in thin film microbridges of La$_{0.7}$Ca$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$ with the focus on the regime of metal-insulator transition. A mechanically milled SrTiO$_3$ substrate is used as a backgate dielectric. Inside the metal-insulator transition we find a strong unipolar field-induced reduction in resistance, as well as a suppression of the nonlinear features in the I-V curves we observed earlier. We associate the observed effects with a phase separated state in which metallic regions coexist with short range correlated polaron regions. When the glassy polaron phase has fully developed, and closes off the microbridge, the field effects disappear leaving the strongly nonlinear behavior of the transport current unaltered.

description: Despite growing evidence that has declared the importance of circRNAs in neurodegenerative diseases, the clinical significance of circRNAs in dopaminergic (DA) neuronal degeneration in the pathogenesis of Parkinson disease (PD) remains unclear. Here, we performed rRNA-depleted RNA sequencing and detected more than 10,000 circRNAs in the plasma samples of PD patients. In consideration of ROC and the correlation between Hohen-Yahr stage (H-Y stage) and Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale-motor score (UPDRS) of 40 PD patients, circEPS15 was selected for further research. Low expression of circEPS15 was found in PD patients and there was a negative positive correlation between the circEPS15 level and severity of PD motor symptoms, while overexpression of circEPS15 protected DA neurons against neurotoxin-induced PD-like neurodegeneration in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, circEPS15 acted as a MIR24-3p sponge to promote the stable expression of target gene PINK1, thus enhancing PINK1-PRKN-dependent mitophagy to eliminate damaged mitochondria and maintain mitochondrial homeostasis. Thus, circEPS15 rescued DA neuronal degeneration through the MIR24-3p-PINK1 axis-mediated improvement of mitochondrial function. This study reveals that circEPS15 exerts a critical role in participating in PD pathogenesis, and may give us an insight into the novel avenue to develop potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets for PD.

description: The Lynx project aims at facilitating cross-border compliance for European enterprises. This requires the gathering of relevant regulations, case laws, best practices and standards, and their provision through accessible means, which enable end users (in the form of law firms, in-house lawyers, SMEs and the general public) to find answers to their regulatory related needs with ease. In order to provide such accessible means, the Lynx partners had brought together their technical expertise in the fields of Information Extraction, Semantic Web, Knowledge Management, and Document Management, to create an integrated solution.

An essential part of the solution provided by Lynx is the automatic analysis of documents in order to facilitate their discovery and retrieval by the end user. These analyses have three primary objectives:

	To extract information contained within the documents that is relevant to user queries.
	To put documents in context, in terms of relations they hold to other documents.
	To make documents accessible in different languages.

In order to realize these objectives, Work Package 3 serves to develop a series of services that extract various types of information from the documents, and store the information in a well-organized, standards-compliant knowledge graph, which we call the Legal Knowledge Graph (LKG). This LKG will contain not only information about these documents, but also information extracted from them, as well as general knowledge from the compliance domain, in the form of controlled vocabularies.

The services that are reported on in this deliverable are divided into Linking Services, which aim at contextualizing documents or parts of documents by finding references and commonalities with other known documents or entities in the LKG; and Extraction Services which aim at extracting information contained in the documents, both to annotate them and to enrich the LKG with them.

Being an intermediate report, not all of the services have been fully implemented. However, large amounts of work have been done in the standardization of the service architecture, deployment procedure and data interchange format. Furthermore, demonstration implementations are available for most of the services listed here, which are being used to test interoperability among them. Finally, some of these services are the result of ongoing research, and thus their initial version is already an innovation success.

description: Arp 104 is a pair of luminous interacting galaxies consisting of NGC 5216, an elliptical, and NGC 5218, a disturbed disk galaxy and joined by a stellar bridge. We obtained optical imaging to support photometric and color studies of the system. NGC 5216 lies on the red sequence, while the unusual distribution of stellar population properties in combination with intense central star formation in a dusty region result in NGC 5218 being a nearby example of an intermediate color (green valley) system. The stellar bridge has remarkably uniform optical surface brightness, with colors consistent with its stars coming from the outskirts of NGC 5218, but is relatively gas-poor while the northern tidal tail is rich in HI. While both galaxies contain shells, the shell structures in NGC 5218 are pronounced, and some appear to be associated with counter-rotating gas. This combination of features suggests that Arp 104 could be the product of distinct multiple interactions in a small galaxy group, possibly resulting from a hierarchical merging process, and likely leading to the birth of a relatively massive and isolated early-type galaxy.

Assessing equity in access to healthy diets in Ecuador following the addition of food sovereignty to the constitution
Creators: name: Garton, Kelly
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Background: Ecuador shows high and increasing rates of diet-related non-communicable diseases, attributed in part to a nutrition transition toward more animal-based and processed foods. In 2008, Ecuador introduced the right to food sovereignty to its constitution in an effort to improve diets and protect local agricultural production. However, this has not yet translated to evidence of improved nutrition at the community level. Objective: This thesis examines whether the promotion of food sovereignty has contributed to improving access to healthy diets for marginalized populations in Ecuador; if so, it asks how and to what extent, and if not, it explores the barriers to achieving change and opportunities for improvement. This project thus seeks to provide suggestions of entry points for policies and programs to improve access to and consumption of healthy foods. Methods: Complementary qualitative methods were used to examine geographic access, food prices, nutritional knowledge and dietary preferences, and priorities for food policy improvement in three low-income neighbourhoods in the city of Machala, El Oro. Results: Access to affordable healthy foods is still an issue as perceived by the study neighbourhoods. Poor nutritional knowledge, high relative cost of fruits and vegetables, and inequitable geographic access to affordable healthy foods were the main barriers to healthy eating. Price was the primary factor influencing food purchasing and consumption behaviours. Knowledge of the concept of food sovereignty and its inclusion in the constitution was nonexistent, as was the awareness of any new policies or programs implemented to improve access to healthy foods since 2008. Conclusions: As there are no food sovereignty policies in place so far that address price, the affordability of healthy foods could be addressed either by improving the linkages between producers and consumers to reduce intermediaries, or by adopting fiscal policies that subsidize healthy foods and tax unhealthy foods to help make healthy options more affordable and viable. These policy initiatives fall within the potential scope of a commitment to food sovereignty, but greater focus is needed as the government advances in the development of specific policies and programs in order to have an impact on population health.

description: Organic solar cells are green and cost-effective alternatives to fulfill the energy requirements of conventional energy sources. They have grabbed the attention of the research community owing to their good power conversion efficiency. The aim of present research work was to increase the efficiency of previously synthesised reference (R) molecule. For this, eight new X-shaped molecules were successfully designed by structural modifications of Spiro-OMeTAD. Structural modifications of R were made by using 9,9’-spirobifuorene as a core material with eight different end-capped acceptor moieties. Among different DFT-based functionals, MPW1PW91 functional with 6-31G (d,p) basis set was selected to determine the optoelectronic properties. Interestingly, all newly designed molecules had a smaller energy gap (Egap), lower excitation energy (Ex) and greater absorption maxima (λmax) which illustrated the superior potential of the designed molecules (X1 to X8) than R. Among different molecules, X4 showed the most appropriate frontier molecular orbitals with the highest λmax (592.74 nm), best fill factor (86.43%), greater power conversion efficiency (10.04), improved open circuit voltage (0.83 eV) and the least Ex (2.09 eV). All newly created molecules showed better results than R, elucidating the potential of these modified Spiro-OMeTAD-based hole transport materials as pioneering materials in the fabrication of efficient next-generation SCs devices.

description: Despite the tremendous contribution of rural households to Nigeria’s economy, they are still described by food insecurity, hence the need to revamp the livelihood of the people for sustainable food security and rural development. Therefore, the study assessed the nexus between the livelihood’s diversification and food security of the rural households in Ondo State, Nigeria. Data were collected from 120 rural household heads using well-structured questionnaire. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics, food security index, and probit regression model. The results revealed that 80.8% of the respondents were male, 82.5% were married and majority (83%) of them had at least primary school education. The primary occupation was farming and 73.3% of the respondents were observed to combine both farm and non-farm activities. Petty trading, civil service, commercial motorcycling, welding, tailoring, lumbering, among others were observed to be the common non-farm income sources adopted by households in the study area. The mean per capita food expenditure (MPCFE) for the food secure and food insecure households were ₦5,820.00 and ₦2,119.50, respectively with a bench mark of ₦3,005.68. The results of the food security index showed that about 67.5% and 32.5% of the respondents were food secure and food insecure with index of 1.94 and 0.71, respectively. The results of probit regression showed that marital status, household size and number of income sources significantly influenced household food security status in the study area. The conclusion drawn from the study was that, diversification of livelihood is a pursuit that enables rural households to attain a secured food status.

Microwave electrodynamics of the high-Tc superconductor Tl2Ba2CuO6+delta

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The microwave surface resistance, Rs(w,T), and the magnetic penetration depth, ⋋(T), of a rectangular Tl₂Ba₂CuO₆+δ (Tl-2201) single crystal measured along its different crystallographic axes are reported. The measurements of the surface resistance as a function of frequency were made using a precise broadband bolometric technique, and a loop-gap resonator was employed to measure the temperature dependence of the magnetic penetration depth. Disentangling the in- and out-of-plane components of both microwave properties was accomplished by comparing the measurement results obtained for different orientations of the sample with respect to the applied magnetic field, allowing us to report, for the first time, the c-axis components of ∆⋋(T), and Rs(w,T). In particular, our results show a quadratic temperature dependence of ∆⋋c(T) in Tl-2201 which is similar to that in other anisotropic cuprates such as BSCCO, and YBCO. Furthermore, in the case of the surface resistance, a sign change in the curvature of Rc s(w) is observed. The origin of this behavior is not yet understood. The ab-plane components of both microwave properties behave similarly to those reported on other dopings of this material. The measurements of Rs(w,T) and ∆⋋(T) allow us to determine the complex conductivity of this material. Having Tc of 43 K, the sample studied here is in the middle of the overdoped side of the superconducting dome, where very few studies have been made. This particular sample possesses relatively low quasiparticle scattering rates making the interpretation of the measurement results more straightforward. The reliability of the results, current limitations, and further potential progress are also discussed.

description: Food and nutrition became a crucial problem in wartime Russia. This problem may be considered as three closely related questions. The first of these concerns food production and consumption, the second is associated with the state’s efforts to defuse a crisis of supply, and the third is related to ways of surviving attempted by different social groups. The crisis of supply strengthened gradually throughout the war and became a cause of the February Revolution in 1917. The various approaches to solving the problem demonstrated the weakness of official power and the social disturbances which prevented the old regime from passing unchanged through the war.

description: The anticipated increase in the number of plug-in electric vehicles (EV) will put additional strain on electrical distribution circuits. Many control schemes have been proposed to control EV charging. Here, we develop control algorithms based on randomized EV charging start times and simple one-way broadcast communication allowing for a time delay between communication events. Using arguments from queuing theory and statistical analysis, we seek to maximize the utilization of excess distribution circuit capacity while keeping the probability of a circuit overload negligible.

description: This article surveys the occupation of the formerly German-leased territory around the Jiaozhou Bay with Qingdao as its capital city by the Japanese during and after the First World War. It first describes the initial ultimatum of the Japanese to the Germans to turn over the territory, which today is the peninsular part of China’s Shandong province. It then goes further into the siege and ensuing occupation by the Japanese, which lasted throughout the First World War and another four years longer, until 1922. To conclude, the article describes the eventual turning over of the territory by the Japanese back to China.

description: First-principles density-functional theory has been used to investigate equilibrium geometries, total energies, and diffusion barriers for H as an interstitial impurity absorbed in $α$-Fe. Internal strains/stresses upon hydrogen absorption are a crucial factor to understand preferred absorption sites and diffusion. For high concentrations, H absorbs near the octahedral site favoring a large tetragonal distortion of the BCC lattice. For low concentration, H absorbs near the tetrahedral site minimizing the elastic energy stored on nearby cells. Diffusion paths depend on the concentration regime too; hydrogen diffuses about ten times faster in the distorted BCT lattice. External stresses of several GPa modify barriers by $\approx$ 10%, and diffusion rates by $\approx$ 30%.

By focusing on the principal air power roles – control of the air, tactical, strategic, and naval and maritime aviation – the article acknowledges the national, strategic, and operational contexts in which air power came to develop between 1914 and 1918; very often within and influenced by existing military and naval organisations. Although aviation was in an embryonic state during the conflict, war in and from the air became an increasingly visible and important aspect of the First World War.

description: This article explores how the anticipation, reality, and memory of sacrifice informed experiences and legacies of World War I. Drawing on representative examples from multiple nations, I suggest that Europeans’ inability to imagine either the wide-reaching social costs of modern warfare or the cumulative power of propaganda grew pre-war socio-economic tensions into exclusionary subcultures rooted in images of sacrifice.

description: The stellar origin of gamma-ray bursts can be explained by the rapid release of energy in a highly collimated, extremely relativistic jet. This in turn appears to require a rapidly spinning highly magnetised stellar core that collapses into a magnetic neutron star or a black hole within a relatively massive envelope. They appear to be associated with type Ib/c supernovae but, with a birthrate of around 10^{-6}-10^{-5} per year per galaxy, they are considerably rarer than such supernovae in general. To satisfy all these requirements we hypothesize a binary star model that ends with the merging of an oxygen neon white dwarf with the carbon-oxygen core of a naked helium star during a common envelope phase of evolution. The rapid spin and high magnetic field are natural consequences of such a merging. The evolution that leads to these progenitors is convoluted and so naturally occurs only very rarely. To test the hypothesis we evolve a population of progenitors and find that the rate is as required. At low metallicity we calculate that a similar fraction of stars evolve to this point and so would expect the gamma-ray burst rate to correlate with the star formation rate in any galaxy. This too is consistent with observations. These progenitors, being of intermediate mass, differ radically from the usually postulated high-mass stars. Thus we can reconcile observations that the bursts occur close to but not within massive star associations.

description: The binary phase diagram of the YAlO3 (YAP) - NdAlO3 (NAP) system was determined by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) measurements. High purity nanocrystalline powders and small single crystals of Y_{1-x}Nd_{x}AlO_3 (0 \leq x \leq 1) have been produced successfully by modified sol-gel (Pechini) and micro-pulling-down methods, respectively. Both end members show high mutual solubility >25% in the solid phase, with a miscibility gap for intermediate compositions. A solid solution with x \approx 0.2 melts azeotropic ca. 20 degrees below pure YAP. Such crystals can be grown from the melt without segregation. The narrow solid/liquid region near the azeotrope point could be measured with a "cycling" DTA measurement technique.

description: Most rural households in Nigeria are poor and majorly agrarian yet do not base their livelihoods solely on agricultural income. Gender is thought to be a prominent socio-economic factor affecting participation of rural households in livelihood activities and consequently, their poverty status. Therefore, the effects of livelihood patterns and gender on poverty status of rural households in Osun State, Nigeria were examined in this study. Primary data was collected from 122 rural household heads, through a multi-stage random sampling procedure, using well-structured questionnaires. The data were analyzed using Foster-Greer-Thorbecke (FGT) poverty measure and probit regression. The results revealed that crop farming was the predominant livelihood activity among the households with more women involved in off-farm (53.30%) than on-farm activities (46.70%). More female headed households (55%) were poor compared to their male counterparts (49.60%). Poverty was least among households involved in both on-farm and off-farm activities than those harnessing one activity. The probit estimates showed that age squared household size, share of total household income from on-farm activities and off-farm income reduced poverty while age increased the probability of being poor buster did not affect poverty. Therefore, the study recommends that both farm and off-farm activities should be encouraged for effective poverty reduction among rural households.

description: Charcoal production over the years has contributed to deforestation and environmental degradation which could affect its sustainability. Seasonality of production also makes livelihood diversification important for the producers’ wellbeing. Hence, the environmental and welfare effects of livelihood diversification of charcoal producers were investigated. The study showed that 71.4% of the respondents diversified into other agriculture and non-agricultural activities. The diversification index was 0.61. With the poverty line of ₦189,023.10, 56.1% of the charcoal producers had poor welfare status (poor). The disaggregation showed that 55.7% and 43.3% of the charcoal producers that diversified and respondents that did not diversify had good welfare status, respectively. Most of the respondents with good welfare-status (non-poor) diversified into poultry, crop farming, fish farming and artisanal work (54.6%, 57.4%, 88.9%) while those that engaged in artisanal work (carpentry, bricklaying and painting among others) were poor. The average quantity of wood used per month was 89337.6kg wood (equivalent of 3.9hectares) per month to produce 8933.76kg of charcoal. Age, household size and years of experience of respondents were factors that influenced extent of livelihood diversification. Livelihood diversification positively improved respondent’s welfare. Based on the large hectares of wooded land cleared for charcoal production monthly, relevant NGOs should embark on campaigns on the negative effects deforestation. Also, the Federal Government officials should mandate the Ministry of Commerce and Industry to encourage charcoal producers to engage in other economic activities through training and loan disbursement in different enterprises in order to reduce pressure on forest trees and by extension global warming.

description: Density functional calculations are employed to study the molecular dissociation of hydrogen on graphene, the diffusion of chemisorbed atomic species, and the electronic properties of the resulting hydrogen on graphene system. Our results show that applying stress to the graphene substrate can lower the barrier to dissociation of molecular hydrogen by a factor of six, and change the process from endothermic to exothermic. These values for the barrier and the heat of reaction, unlike the zero stress values, are compatible with the time scales observed in experiments. Diffusion, on the other hand, is not greatly modified by stress. We analyse the electronic structure for configurations relevant to molecular dissociation and adsorption of atomic hydrogen on a graphene single layer. An absolute band gap of 0.5 eV is found for the equilibrium optimum configuration for a narrow range of coverages ($θ\approx 0.25$). This value is in good agreement with experiment [Elias et al., Science {\bf 323}, 610 (2009)].

description: Pressure interference data between fractured wells in unconventional formations during fracturing has been shown to yield great insights into the geometry of propagating fractures. Interpretation of this pressure response data can be used to estimate key unknown fracture parameters such as azimuth, height, width, and length. This pressure interference is ascribed to the poroelastic impact of the propagating fracture’s stress shadow. Numerical modeling of these measurements using fully coupled geomechanical simulators has been shown to history match field observations. Numerical modeling, however, can be time-consuming and not feasible for application in on-the-fly solutions during the frac treatment. There is a need for simple, high-speed tools that can guide the staff and engineers on location with insight into the position and geometry of the propagating fractures. This work presents a new analytical model that provides a method for quick analysis of the fracture responses from downhole pressure gauges during treatment, validation with fully 3-D coupled numerical modeling, and successful application to field cases. This new analytical model uses the fundamental stress equations for simple fracture geometries (KGD, PKN, and radial fractures) and captures critical characteristics observed in field pressure interference observations. Multiple field stages with offset pressure responses were captured with bottom-hole gauges, interpreted, and detailed in this body of work. A Python code for these analytical stress predictions was developed to make the process user-friendly and adaptable to ever-changing industry needs. The model closely ties these observed field responses to predicted stresses reported from the model and allows for timely interpretation of the pressure data. To further validate the characteristic stress responses observed in the field, fully coupled 3-D poroelastic simulations were also performed with results showing less than 2% error relative to the analytical predictions. Insights into well spacing, fracture geometry, fracture overlap, and stress shadow with varying distances are obtained from the results. This workflow can be employed for near real-time analysis and yield estimates of fracture geometry to greatly advance the field capabilities for on-the-fly fracture design optimization. In an industry with increasing complexity in nearly every model, this work shows that simple ground truth physics and analytical results can be extremely useful tools to make quick, effective decisions with minimal computational resources

description: We present deep ground based imaging of the environments of five QSOs that contain sub-Damped Lyman-alpha systems at z<1 with the SOAR telescope and SOI camera. We detect a clear surplus of galaxies in these small fields, supporting the assumption that we are detecting the galaxies responsible for the absorption systems. Assuming these galaxies are at the redshift of the absorption line systems, we detect luminous L>L* galaxies for four of the five fields within 10" of the QSO. In contrast to previous imaging surveys of DLA systems at these redshifts, which indicate a range of morphological types and luminosities for the host galaxies of the systems, the galaxies we detect in these sub-DLA fields appear to be luminous (L>L*). In the case of the absorber towards Q1009-0026 at z=0.8866 we have spectroscopic confirmation that the candidate galaxy is at the redshift of the absorber, at an impact parameter of ~35 kpc with a luminosity of 3 < L/L* < 8 depending on the magnitude of the K-correction. These observations are in concordance with the view that sub-DLAs may be more representative of massive galaxies than DLA systems. The environments of the absorbers span a range of types, from the inner disk of a galaxy, the periphery of a luminous galaxy, and the outskirts of interacting galaxies. The large impact parameters to some of the candidate galaxies suggest that galactic outflows or tidal tails are likely responsible for the material seen in absorption. We find a weak correlation between N(HI) and the impact parameter at the 2 sigma level, which may be expected from the heterogeneous population of galaxies hosting the absorption line systems and random orientation angles. In addition, we detect a possible gravitationally lensed image of the BL-Lac object Q0826-2230.
