description: This study examines how schools can impact student retention among First Nations students and bring about higher graduation rates. The perceptions and perspectives of eight high school students were examined to discover how effective schools were in helping them succeed academically. First Nations student graduation rates are statistically low across Canada. In 1996, Statistics Canada revealed that 60 percent of First Nations on-reserve residents aged 20-24 had not completed high school or obtained an alternative diploma or certificate (Mendelson, 2008). The 2006 Census results that were released 10 years later reported no change in the data on high school completion among First Nations youth. The researcher conducted a qualitative study in 2011 in order to acquire the perspectives and perceptions of the participants regarding their high school experiences. The study sought to identify what factors in the school positively influenced them and at the same time what barriers they encountered and how the school addressed these. Internal structures such as school leadership, teachers, support staff, and school programming were important factors in the academic success of these students. Significantly, this study found that educational attainment among students is dependent upon effective school structures such as school leadership, teachers, and school programs that make quality schools. School structures must be responsive to the diversity of the student population. In the case of First Nations or Aboriginal students, most schools clearly made a concerted effort to recognize student diversity. Also important is that schools must be prepared to meet this challenge by planning for and implementing appropriate structures that support Aboriginal students as they work towards completing high school. Important issues such as racism and discrimination were evident in several of the schools. The outcome of this research provides recommendations and conclusions to further student retention for the Aboriginal or First Nations student population. Without effective school structures in place students may find an opportunity to leave school. Research shows students leave school for various reason, including socio-economic conditions, student disengagement, racial discrimination, in addition to teacher and school ineffectiveness or a, lack of sufficient family support and resources. Research must collect data on schools that are effective in retaining students until they complete high school to find out what they are doing that is making an impact.

Fabrication and characterization of InP semiconductor ring lasers
Creators: name: Vafaei, Raha
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis investigates the fabrication of 1550 nm emitting InP semiconductor racetrack resonator lasers (SRLs) via wet etching techniques. The method of choice for SRL fabrication is reported to be via dry etching. Dry etching is a complex, time consuming and expensive process which leaves relatively rougher surfaces and sidewalls compared to wet etching techniques. In this thesis, coupling, racetrack resonators, and edge emitter laser theory were studied for the SRL design. Then, a fabrication process for the SRLs was developed via wet etching techniques. The light emitting diode (LED) characteristics of the fabricated devices were observed and successfully measured. The spectrum of the device was also measured with optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) and resonances were observed. However, lasing was not observed. The cleaving process is a major limiting step in the fabrication and it is being improved. In parallel to the wet etching fabrication at UBC, dry etching (the common method for SRL fabrication) is being performed at the Centre de Recherche en Nanofabrication et Nanocaractérisation (CNR2) at the Université de Sherbrooke.

description: We present new discoveries of variable stars near the turnoff of the old open cluster NGC 7142. Contrary to previous studies, we detect eight contact or near contact eclipsing binaries (including three near the cluster turnoff), and most of these have good probability of being cluster members. We also identified one long-period variable that resides far to the red of the cluster giant branch, and four new detached eclipsing binaries. We have re-examined the question of distance and reddening for the cluster, and find that the distance is larger and reddening lower than in most previous studies. In turn this implies that NGC 7142 is probably slightly younger than M67, about 3 Gyr old. With an age of this size, NGC 7142 would be one of a small group of clusters with main sequence turnoff stars at the transition between convective and radiative cores.

description: Industrial production in the EU, like other sectors of the economy, is obliged to stop producing greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. With its Green Deal, the European Union has already set the corresponding framework in 2019. To achieve Net Zero in the remaining time, while not endangering one's own competitiveness on a globalized market, a transformation of industrial value creation has to be started already today. In terms of energy supply, this means a comprehensive electrification of processes and a switch to fully renewable power generation. However, due to a growing share of renewable energy sources, increasing volatility can be observed in the European electricity market already. For companies, there are mainly two ways to deal with the accompanying increase in average electricity prices. The first is to reduce consumption by increasing efficiency, which naturally has its physical limits. Secondly, an increasing volatile electricity price makes it possible to take advantage of periods of relatively low prices. To do this, companies must identify their energy-intensive processes and design them in such a way as to enable these activities to be shifted in time. This article explains the necessary differentiation between labor-intensive and energy intensive processes. A general mathematical model for the holistic optimization of discrete industrial production is presented. With the help of this MILP model, it is simulated that a flexibilization of energy intensive processes with volatile energy prices can help to reduce costs and thus secure competitiveness while getting it in line with European climate goals. On the basis of real electricity market data, different production scenarios are compared, and it is investigated under which conditions the flexibilization of specific processes is worthwhile.

description: Peripheral nerve injuries are unfortunately very common and debilitating. Peripheral nerve regeneration is slow and regenerative outcomes following severe transection injuries remain limited. Intrinsic inhibitors of neurotrophin signalling diminish the regenerative ability of axotomized neurons and regulate regenerative responses. The overall theme of this thesis is to evaluate whether extracellular electrical stimulation (ES) enhances peripheral nerve regeneration after severe and challenging nerve injuries such as transection and superimposed diabetes, and to understand and exploit its molecular correlates. First, I describe the impact of ES in a severe transection injury model and demonstrate that ES enhances early axon outgrowth that later translates into earlier skin target reinnervation and recovery of sensory and motor function. Utilizing an in-house designed microelectrode array (MEA), I illustrate that ES enhances neurite outgrowth of adult sensory neurons in vitro (Chapter 3). Next, I describe the potential cellular and molecular mechanisms of ES-enhanced regeneration in cultured sensory neurons in vitro and in animal models. Specifically, I observed activation of the PI3-K pathway through downregulation of PTEN expression in response to ES. Other contributing mechanisms involve upregulation of regeneration-associated genes, and enhanced support from perineuronal satellite cells in DRGs (Chapter 4). Finally, in Chapter 5, I show that an ES paradigm has the potential to regenerate axons in a diabetic animal model known for its inherent neuroregenerative deficits (Chapter 5). The results suggest that ES modulates the intrinsic mechanisms of axon regeneration and has a remarkable impact on peripheral neuron plasticity. Overall, the findings support the concept that ES can be utilized as a therapeutic option for severe peripheral nerve injuries.

description: The optimal approach to identifying patients at risk of serious arrhythmias after myocardial infarction (MI) is unclear. Electrocardiographic markers, including T-wave alternans (TWA) and Heart Rate Turbulence (HRT) and myocardial scar characteristics, assessed via cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), appear to provide useful information in this regard. However, the relationship between electrical and structural markers is unclear. A meta-analysis was conducted and demonstrated the utility of HRT after MI. In addition, a cross-sectional study was performed to assess the relationships of HRT and TWA with CMR-assessed myocardial scar extent and pattern. A total of 99 patients were enrolled 3-15 months after MI. No linear relationship between TWA and scar was observed. Yet, maximal TWA values were higher in patients with transmural versus non-trans-mural scar; particularly those with anterior, trans-mural scar. HRT slope was not related to myocardial scar. Based on these data, additional research is recommended to better define these relationships.

description: The non-aureus staphylococci (NAS) species are among the most prevalent isolated from bovine milk and have been reported to inhibit major mastitis pathogens, likely by producing bacteriocins. This thesis is comprised of two sections, focusing on in vitro inhibition assays and in silico identification of bacteriocin gene clusters and bacteriocin resistance genes in NAS and Staphylococcus aureus, using isolates obtained from the Canadian Bovine Mastitis and Milk Quality Research Network. The first part determined the inhibitory capability of 441 bovine NAS isolates (comprising 25 species) against bovine S. aureus and human methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and determined the presence of bacteriocin biosynthetic gene clusters in NAS whole genomes. Overall, 40 isolates from 9 species (S. capitis, S. chromogenes, S. epidermidis, S. pasteuri, S. saprophyticus, S. sciuri, S. simulans, S. warneri, and S. xylosus) inhibited growth of S. aureus in vitro; of which, 23 isolates (from S. capitis, S. chromogenes, S. epidermidis, S. pasteuri, S. simulans, and S. xylosus) also inhibited MRSA. 105 putative bacteriocin gene clusters encompassing 6 different subclasses (lanthipeptides, sactipeptides, lasso peptides, class IIa, class IIc, and class IId) in 95 whole genomes from 16 species were identified. The second part of the thesis determined the susceptibility of 139 bovine S. aureus isolates to a bacteriocin producing S. chromogenes isolate and identified and described the distribution of genes potentially associated with susceptibility and resistance in S. aureus whole genomes. Overall, 90 S. aureus isolates (65%) were resistant to inhibition by the S. chromogenes isolate. We identified 77 genes that were associated with an isolate being resistant. We also identified 76 genes that were associated with an isolate being susceptible to the S. chromogenes. Bacteriocin susceptibility and resistance seems to be linked to a large number of genes, the majority of which are annotated as hypothetical proteins and will need further assessment to determine their role in S. aureus susceptibility. Overall, bacteriocins may be a potential source of novel antimicrobials and this thesis represents the foundation to explore novel NAS bacteriocins.

description: We have analyzed Cs-137 decay data, obtained from a small sample onboard the MESSENGER spacecraft en route to Mercury, with the aim of setting limits on a possible correlation between nuclear decay rates and solar activity. Such a correlation has been suggested recently on the basis of data from Mn-54 decay during the solar flare of 13 December 2006, and by indications of an annual and other periodic variations in the decay rates of Si-32, Cl-36, and Ra-226. Data from five measurements of the Cs-137 count rate over a period of approximately 5.4 years have been fit to a formula which accounts for the usual exponential decrease in count rate over time, along with the addition of a theoretical solar contribution varying with MESSENGER-Sun separation. The indication of solar influence is then characterized by a non-zero value of the calculated parameter ξ, and we find ξ=(2.8+/-8.1)x10^{-3} for Cs-137. A simulation of the increased data that can hypothetically be expected following Mercury orbit insertion on 18 March 2011 suggests that the anticipated improvement in the determination of ξcould reveal a non-zero value of ξif present at a level consistent with other data.

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: Previous theoretical studies have found that repeating outbursts can occur in certain regions of an accretion disk, due to sudden transitions in time from gravitationally produced turbulence to magnetically produced turbulence. We analyze the disk evolution in a state diagram that plots the mass accretion rate versus disk surface density. We determine steady state accretion branches that involve gravitational and magnetic sources of turbulence. Using time-dependent numerical disk simulations, we show that cases having outbursts track along a nonsteady 'dead zone' branch and some steady state accretion branches. The outburst is the result of a rapid inter-branch transition. The gravo-magneto outbursts are then explained on this diagram as a limit cycle that is analogous to the well-known S-curve that has been applied to dwarf nova outbursts. The diagram and limit cycle provide a conceptual framework for understanding the nature of the outbursts that may occur in accretion disks of all scales, from circumplanetary to protoplanetary to AGN accretion disks.

description: Background: There is little evidence regarding the effects of reasoning visualization decision support aids on the quality of clinicians’ diagnostic decisions. Methods: To address this evidence gap, we conducted a randomized-controlled study involving 30 participating clinicians from three levels of experience: medical students, residents, and physicians. Two interventions designed to improve the diagnostic approach to pulmonary embolism were assessed: a visualization reasoning task model vs. more traditional didactic lecture. All participants were requested to solve paper-based clinical scenarios. The primary outcome of diagnostic pathway concordance (derived as a ratio of the number of correct diagnostic decision steps divided by the ideal number of diagnostic decision steps in diagnostic algorithms) was measured at baseline (5 clinical scenarios) and after either intervention. Results: The mean of diagnostic pathway concordance improved in both study groups: baseline mean= 0.73, post mean (scenarios 1-10) for the decision support group = 0.90 (p < 0.001, 95% CI: 0.08-0.24); baseline mean= 0.70, post mean (scenarios 1-10) for didactic review group = 0.85 (p < 0.001, 95% CI: 0.06-0.2). There was no statistically significant difference between the two study groups, or between the three levels of participants. Conclusions: Clinical decision support aids that are designed with an evidence-based visual reasoning interface can improve clinicians’ diagnostic pathway concordance. To the extent that such decision support aids can feasibly be implemented in clinical settings, while didactic lectures at crucial moments in patient care cannot, they have potential advantages over the latter.

description: We present a theoretical quasiclassical study of the formation, during Coulomb explosion, of two highly excited neutral H atoms (double H$^{*}$) of strongly driven H$_2$. In this process, after the laser field is turned off each electron occupies a Rydberg state of an H atom. We show that two-electron effects are important in order to correctly account for double H$^{*}$ formation. We find that the route to forming two H$^{*}$ atoms is similar to pathway B that was identified in Phys. Rev. A {\bf 85} 011402 (R) as one of the two routes leading to single H$^{*}$ formation. However, instead of one ionization step being "frustrated" as is the case for pathway B, both ionization steps are "frustrated" in double H$^{*}$ formation. Moreover, we compute the screened nuclear charge that drives the explosion of the nuclei during double H$^{*}$ formation.

description: Caring for children with Progressive Life Shortening Illnesses (PLSIs) in pediatric acute care is both rewarding and challenging for nurses. Despite the significant number of pediatric nurses who care for children with PLSIs and their families on general acute care units, little is known about the benefits and difficulties these nurses experience through their work. The intent of this hermeneutic study is to further understanding regarding the experiences of pediatric nurses in this context and to offer ways of better supporting them in their valuable work. Eight nurses from a general pediatric acute care unit were interviewed for this study. These data were analyzed according to the tradition of philosophical hermeneutics as described by Hans-Georg Gadamer. Findings from this research revealed nurses’ struggles to care for children with PLSIs whose lives are shrouded with uncertainty in a death-denying culture that values cure and treatment. Nurses recognized the many rewards and the beauty of their work even though they come to carry a burden and hold a great deal of darkness from the difficulty of what they see and do in their practice. Nurses’ struggles also included caring for children with PLSIs when they are excluded from the decision-making table. Nurses acknowledged that their ability to work in this area was limited as they were aware that the challenges of the work would eventually outweigh the beauty and the benefits. For their survival, nurses learned to depend on each other for support and learned from each other what it means to be a nurse in this area. The implications of this research include facilitating bedside nurses to be present at decision-making meetings and the encouragement and facilitation of nurse-to-nurse support.
Effects and mechanisms of growth differentiation factor 9 on activin A-regulated inhibin B and progesterone production in human granulosa cells

description: Activin A (homodimer of inhibin βA-subunit) is known to increase inhibin βB-subunit and inhibin B (heterodimer of inhibin α- and βB-subunit) levels and decrease progesterone accumulation in human granulosa cells. Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) is a potent paracrine regulator of ovarian function, but its overall effects, particularly relating to activin A actions, are unknown. We examined the potential crosstalk between activin A and GDF9 in primary cultures of human granulosa-lutein (hGL) cells. Pretreatment of hGL cells with GDF9 for 24 h resulted in an increased expression of activin receptors and Smad2/3, and decreased inhibitory Smad7 activity. These effects were attenuated by BMP type II receptor ectodomain (BMPR2 ECD), a GDF9 antagonist. These GDF9-induced changes, in turn, increased the cellular response to activin A stimulation and resulted in significantly greater production of βB-subunit mRNA and inhibin B compared to activin A treatment alone. Interestingly, endogenous GDF9 mRNA and protein were detected in hGL cells. Reduction of endogenous GDF9 by GDF9 siRNA resulted in decreased levels of activin receptors and Smad2/3/4, but increased expression of Smad7. Consequently, GDF9 siRNA treatment significantly attenuated the stimulation of activin A on βB-subunit mRNA and inhibin B levels. Additionally, GDF9 suppressed the expression of follistatin (FST) and follistatin-like 3 (FSTL3), which are extracellular inhibitors of activin A. These effects were attenuated by BMPR2 ECD and GDF9 siRNA. Treatment with FST or FSTL3 siRNA augmented activin A-induced βB-subunit mRNA levels. Conversely, GDF9 enhancement of activin A-induced βB-subunit mRNA was attenuated by FST. Activin A decreased expression of StAR but not P450scc and 3βHSD, this effect lead to reduced basal and FSH-induced progesterone accumulation. GDF9 reversed these effects of activin A on StAR and progesterone; these GDF9 effects were attenuated by inhibin α-subunit siRNA. Together, these findings support a novel hypothesis that GDF9 exerts both paracrine and autocrine control of key components in the activin receptor-signaling pathway and the extracellular inhibition of activin A in hGL cells. As a result, GDF9 may serve to enhance activin A-induced accumulation of inhibin B, which in turn acts to reverse activin A suppression of progesterone accumulation during granulosa cell luteinization.

description: The focus of this dissertation is centered on the lived experiences of married immigrant Coptic women in Canada with regards to aspects of living their faith in the context of the culture of their traditional Coptic Orthodox Church. A descriptive phenomenological inquiry was undertaken as a methodological framework to gain understanding of the lived experiences. In an attempt to capture the meaning and the interpretation of the described lived experiences, the symbolic interactionist approach served as a theoretical framework. Feminist principles were also incorporated in order to facilitate the research process in understanding the lived experiences in this descriptive phenomenological inquiry. Purposive sampling techniques were employed; eight participants participated in the study from the Greater Toronto Area through the Coptic centers located in Mississauga and Toronto. It was through semi-structured interviews and open-ended questions that the interpretation of their experiences emerged. Each interview was transcribed verbatim and analyzed according to the descriptive phenomenological approach. Thematic analysis was the level of data analysis that was applied in aiming to capture thematic statements of the meanings regarding the phenomenon on the basis of the descriptive phenomenological approach. NVivo software was used to create thematic emergent themes and thematic coding folders in facilitating the data analysis. The study illuminated valuable insights and provided married immigrant Coptic women the opportunity to express their lived experiences within the culture of their Church; an opportunity they previously might not have had. Findings showed consistent understanding among all the participants in this study who all believed they held the greatest status in, and through, the patriarchal system and structure of their Coptic Church. Findings generated knowledge for social work practice about many of the spiritual and religious aspects of the faith of Coptic women and the influence of their Coptic Church on them.

description: We perform a detailed and systematic investigation of the possible impacts of dark stars upon the reionization history of the Universe, and its signatures in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). We compute hydrogen reionization histories, CMB optical depths and anisotropy power spectra for a range of stellar populations including dark stars. If dark stars capture large amounts of dark matter via nuclear scattering, reionization can be substantially delayed, leading to decreases in the integrated optical depth to last scattering and large-scale power in the EE polarization power spectrum. Using the integrated optical depth observed by WMAP7, in our canonical reionization model we rule out the section of parameter space where dark stars with high scattering-induced capture rates tie up more than ~90% of all the first star-forming baryons, and live for over ~250 Myr. When nuclear scattering delivers only moderate amounts of dark matter, reionization can instead be sped up slightly, modestly increasing the CMB optical depth. If dark stars do not obtain any dark matter via nuclear scattering, effects upon reionization and the CMB are negligible. The effects of dark stars upon reionization and its CMB markers can be largely mimicked or compensated for by changes in the existing parameters of reionization models, making dark stars difficult to disentangle from astrophysical uncertainties, but also widening the range of standard parameters in reionization models that can be made consistent with observations.

Spatial search via non-linear quantum walk

description: One approach to the development of quantum search algorithms is the quantum walk. A spatial search can be effected by the continuous-time evolution of a single quantum particle on a lattice or graph containing a marked site. In most conceivable physical applications, however, one would rather expect to have multiple interacting particles. In bosonic systems at zero temperature, the dynamics would be well-described by a discrete non-linear Schrodinger equation. In this thesis we investigate the role of non-linearity in determining the efficiency of the spatial search algorithm within the quantum walk model, for the complete graph. Our analytical results indicate that the search time for this non-linear quantum search scales with size of the database N like square root of N, equivalent to linear spatial search time. The analytical results will be compared with numerical calculations of multiple interacting quantum walkers.
