Individual Life Histories in Long-Term Culture Change: Holocene Hunter-Gatherers in Northern Eurasia
Creators: Weber, Andrzej
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2017

SSHRC PG awarded 2018: Although 99% of human history has been lived as foragers, little is known about the contributions and experiences of individuals in hunter-gatherer groups and their role in long-term patterns of culture diversity, change, stability and resilience. We will examine these vital aspects of our history through two case studies: the Baikal region in Siberia (8300--3500 years ago) and Karelia in European Russia (8700--8000 ago). In both areas the human skeletal collections are of unique scholarly importance and offer excellent scope for our research. Our goals are to: Develop detailed reconstructions of individual life histories based on comprehensive examination of human skeletal remains; Build high-resolution chronologies using systematic radiocarbon dating of all examined human remains; Synthesize the life histories and chronologies within the context of the natural environment. The new knowledge will fundamentally improve the current understandings of how Holocene hunter-gatherers responded with both fragility and resilience to various cultural and environmental pressures in regions that are important from Canadian, North American and global perspectives.

Making homes not houses: a community economic development approach to tourism planning on Haida Gwaii/the Queen Charlotte Islands
Creators: name: Gram, Claire
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this thesis is to explore the opportunities and constraints of a community economic development approach to tourism planning using the case study of Haida Gwaiil/the Queen Charlotte Islands. This thesis will be useful for tourism planners seeking an alternative approach to tourism development and for CED practitioners interested in how tourism can fit into an overall community economic development plan. Finding alternatives to mainstream tourism planning is increasingly important as many communities are now looking to tourism to fill gaps left in their economies from the decline of more traditional resource-based industries. Planning is the process of trying to put development theories into practice in order to control, or at least influence, future events in our favour. How we approach tourism planning will depend on the development theory to which we subscribe. There are three different approaches to development as they are reflected in tourism planning in the post war period. The first is mainstream development, the second is an ‘impact critique’ and finally, community economic development. In January 19911 was contracted by the Queen Charlotte Is1ands Regional Economic Development Initiative to work (amongst other things) with a citizen’s committee involved with developing a tourism plan for the Islands. The tourism plan began as a mainstream planning exercise concerned only with economic growth. However, as Islanders became more involved it switched first to an impact critique approach and finally to a full CED model. The CED-oriented plan has not yet been completed so in chapter 4 I have delineated what such a plan might look like extrapolating from the materials gathered throughout the process so that we can better evaluate its merits. What I found was that CED does indeed offer an useful alternative approach to tourism planning for some rural communities. It allows for the community to enhance the quality of life for residents, it identifies the special needs of local businesses to compete with outside agents, and it engages people in an educative process which enhances the ability of the community to manage the process once the planning is completed. Still, it is not without its own limitations. The amount of local control existing is seldom adequate for the management of a CED oriented plan. It is likely to bring less money into the economy. It is a difficult and challenging process and requires a significant commitment by the community both in finances and time. Finally, by considering tourism in isolation from other sectors and issues one loses the advantage an integrated community economic development approach.

description: It is shown that a germ of a holomorphic mapping sending a real-analytic generic submanifold of finite type into another is determined by its projection on the Segre variety of the target manifold. A necessary and sufficient condition is given for a germ of a mapping into the Segre variety of the target manifold to be the projection of a holomorphic mapping sending the source manifold into the target.

description: We develop a simple tensorial contraction method to obtain analytical formula for X-ray resonant magnetic scattering. We apply the method considering first electric dipole-dipole and electric quadrupole-quadrupole scattering in the isolated atom approximation and compare the results with previous works. Then we apply the method to derive phenomenological original formulas which account also for non-spherical systems and for dipole-quadrupole mixing.

description: When designing systems that are complex, dynamic and stochastic in nature, simulation is generally recognised as one of the best design support technologies, and a valuable aid in the strategic and tactical decision making process. A simulation model consists of a set of rules that define how a system changes over time, given its current state. Unlike analytical models, a simulation model is not solved but is run and the changes of system states can be observed at any point in time. This provides an insight into system dynamics rather than just predicting the output of a system based on specific inputs. Simulation is not a decision making tool but a decision support tool, allowing better informed decisions to be made. Due to the complexity of the real world, a simulation model can only be an approximation of the target system. The essence of the art of simulation modelling is abstraction and simplification. Only those characteristics that are important for the study and analysis of the target system should be included in the simulation model.

description: The neutrino mixing sum rule $θ_{12} - θ_{13}\cos(δ) \approx θ^ν_{12}$ provides a possibility to explore the structure of the neutrino mass matrix in the presence of charged lepton corrections, since it relates the 1-2 mixing angle from the neutrino mass matrix, $θ_{12}^ν$, to observable parameters of the PMNS mixing matrix. The neutrino mixing sum rule holds if the charged lepton mixing angles are CKM-like, i.e., small and dominated by a 1-2 mixing, and for small 1-3 mixing in the neutrino mass matrix. These conditions hold in a wide class of well motivated flavour models. We apply this sum rule to present oscillation data, and we investigate the prospects of future neutrino facilities for exploring the sum rule by simulating various setups for long-baseline reactor and accelerator experiments. As explicit examples, we use the sum rule to test the hypotheses of tri-bimaximal and bimaximal neutrino mixing, where $θ^ν_{12}$ is predicted by $\sin^2(θ^ν_{12}) = 1/3$ or 1/2, respectively, although the neutrino mixing sum rule can be used to test any prediction for $θ^ν_{12}$.

description: Explicit expressions for the non-singlet and singlet structure functions g_1 in the small-x region are obtained. They include the total resummation of the double- and single- logarithms of x and account for the running QCD coupling effects. Both the non-singlet and singlet structure functions are Regge behavied asymptotically, with the intercepts predicted in agreement with experiments. A detailed comparison with the DGLAP evolution equations for different values of x and Q^2 is performed. Finally, the role played by singular terms in DGLAP fits is discussed and explicitly shown to mimic the resummation of leading logarithms at small x.

Για τον λόγο αυτό χρησιμοποιήθηκαν στοιχεία από περιφέρειες NUTS-2, τεσσάρων ευρωπαϊκών χωρών (Γαλλία, Γερμανία, Ην. Βασίλειο και Ιταλία) για την χρονική περίοδο 1995-2009. Έτσι οδηγηθήκαμε στον σχηματισμό μιας επαυξημένης συνάρτησης παραγωγής καινοτομίας, η οικονομετρική εκτίμηση της οποίας έγινε με την μέθοδο που αφορά στα υποδείγματα “μεταξύ”. Εξαρτημένη μεταβλητή της συνάρτησης αποτέλεσε ο αριθμός των αιτήσεων για διπλώματα ευρεσιτεχνίας. Τα εμπειρικά αποτελέσματα έδειξαν πως υπάρχει θετική σχέση των προσδιοριστικών παραγόντων που μελετήθηκαν και της περιφερειακής καινοτομικής παραγωγής.
description: The main objective of this study was to investigate the role of qualitative universities in regional innovative production, in Europe, in conjunction with other factors, such as employment in high tech sectors and population density. For this reason, we used data from NUTS-2 regions, of four European countries (France, Germany, United Kingdom and Italy) for the period 1995-2009. Thus we were led to the formation of an augmented production function of innovation, the econometric estimation of which was synthesized on the "between" models. The dependent variable of the function was the number of patent applications. The empirical results showed that there is a positive relationship between determinants studied and regional innovative output.

description: Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) and the Cosmic Background Radiation (CBR) provide complementary probes of the early evolution of the Universe and of its particle content. Neutrinos play important roles in both cases, influencing the primordial abundances of the nuclides produced by BBN during the first 20 minutes, as well as the spectrum of temperature fluctuations imprinted on the CBR when the Universe is some 400 thousand years old. The physical effects relevant at these widely separated epochs are reviewed and the theoretical predictions are compared with observational data to explore the consistency of the standard models of cosmology and particle physics and to constrain beyond-the-standard-model physics and cosmology.

A noisy subject : reading identity in the "Nausicaa" and "Circe" episodes of Ulysses
Creators: name: Gibson, Matt Douglas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Reading Ulysses forces an awareness of the indeterminacy of meaning, thus problematizing readings that assign the text a communicative function. In order to consider the multiplicity of readings required by Ulysses without tracing the implications of every interpretive possibility, this analysis theorizes the text in the terms of information theory; redundancy and noise are used to discuss how indeterminate readings “communicate” a set of binary oppositions. Each attempt to assign the text a mimetic status is frustrated by redundancies that require other readings, thereby producing noise. Reading is always incomplete, always in process; the text produces not identities but rather processes of identification. This methodology is developed with reference to readings of “Nausicaa” and “Circe.” Readings of both episodes are seen to produce not characters (identities) but rather roles: an association of a name (“Gerty” or “Leopold,” for example) with a positioning within a binary (male/female, occidental/oriental, desire/desired etc.). While roles are always a product of indeterminate readings, the binary oppositions that inform them remain stable. This fixity may be read as an ideology that underlies the formation of roles by/from the text. Thus, reading Ulysses engages a process of identification that imposes a (de)limitation of subjectivity without the formation of identity.
Magnetars versus Radio Pulsars: MHD Stability in Newborn Highly Magnetized Neutron Stars

description: We study the stability/establishment of dipolar magnetostatic equilibrium configurations in new--born neutron stars (NSs) in dependence on the rotational velocity $Ω$ and on the initial angle $α$ between rotation and magnetic axis. The NS is modeled as a sphere of a highly magnetized ($B \sim 10^{15}$G) incompressible fluid of uniform density which rotates rigidly. For the initial dipolar background magnetic field, which defines the magnetic axis, two different configurations are assumed. We solve the 3D non--linear MHD equations by use of a spectral code. The problem in dimensionless form is completely defined by the initial field strength (for a fixed field geometry), the magnetic Prandtl number $\Pm$, and the normalized rotation rate. The evolution of the magnetic and velocity fields is considered for initial magnetic field strengths characterized by the ratio of ohmic diffusion and initial \Alf{} travel times $\ttOhm/\ttAO \approx 1000$, for $\Pm = 0.1, 1, 10$, and the ratio of rotation period and initial \Alf{} travel time, $P/\ttAO = 0.012, 0.12, 1.2, 12$. We find hints for the existence of a unique stable dipolar magnetostatic configuration for any specific $α$, independent of the initial field geometry. Comparing NSs possessing the same field structure at the end of their proto--NS phase, it turns out that sufficiently fast rotating NSs ($P\la6 $ms) with $α\la 45^0$ retain their magnetar field, while the others lose almost all of their initial magnetic energy by transferring it into magnetic and kinetic energy of relatively small--scaled fields and continue their life as radio pulsars with a dipolar surface field of $10^{12...13}$G.

description: Bessel-type convolution algebras of bounded Borel measures on the matrix cones of positive semidefinite $q\times q$-matrices over $\mathbb R, \mathbb C, \mathbb H$ were introduced recently by Rösler. These convolutions depend on some continuous parameter, generate commutative hypergroup structures and have Bessel functions of matrix argument as characters. Here, we first study the rich algebraic structure of these hypergroups. In particular, the subhypergroups and automorphisms are classified, and we show that each quotient by a subhypergroup carries a hypergroup structure of the same type. The algebraic properties are partially related to properties of random walks on matrix Bessel hypergroups. In particular, known properties of Wishart distributions, which form Gaussian convolution semigroups on these hypergroups, are put into a new light. Moreover, limit theorems for random walks on these hypergroups are presented. In particular, we obtain strong laws of large numbers and a central limit theorem with Wishart distributions as limits.

The black hole horizon as a dynamical system

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Interactions between outgoing Hawking particles and ingoing matter are determined by gravitational forces and Standard Model interactions. In particular the gravitational interactions are responsible for the unitarity of the scattering against the horizon, as dictated by the holographic principle, but the Standard Model interactions also contribute, and understanding their effects is an important first step towards a complete understanding of the horizon's dynamics. The relation between in- and outgoing states is described in terms of an operator algebra. In this contribution, in which earlier results are rederived and elaborated upon, we first describe the algebra induced on the horizon by U(1) vector fields and scalar fields, including the case of an Englert-Brout-Higgs mechanism, and a more careful consideration of the transverse vector field components. We demonstrate that, unlike classical black holes, the quantized black hole has on its horizon an imprint of its (recent) past history, i.e., quantum hair. The relation between in- and outgoing states depends on this imprint. As a first step towards the inclusion of non-Abelian interactions, we then compute the effects of magnetic monopoles both in the in-states and in the out-states. They completely modify, and indeed simplify, our algebra.

description: Glassy systems are characterized by an extremely sluggish dynamics without any simple sign of long range order. It is a debated question whether a correct description of such phenomenon requires the emergence of a large correlation length. We prove rigorous bounds between length and time scales implying the growth of a properly defined length when the relaxation time increases. Our results are valid in a rather general setting, which covers finite-dimensional and mean field systems. As an illustration, we discuss the Glauber (heat bath) dynamics of p-spin glass models on random regular graphs. We present the first proof that a model of this type undergoes a purely dynamical phase transition not accompanied by any thermodynamic singularity.

description: The phenomena of electron, neutron, atomic and molecular diffraction have been studied by many experiments, and these experiments are explained by some theoretical works. In this paper, we study electronic double-slit diffraction with quantum mechanical approach. We can obtain the results: (1) When the slit width $a$ is in the range of $3λ\sim 50λ$ we can obtain the obvious diffraction patterns. (2) when the ratio of $\frac{d+a}{a}=n (n=1, 2, 3,\cdot\cdot\cdot)$, order $2n, 3n, 4n,\cdot\cdot\cdot$ are missing in diffraction pattern. (3)When the ratio of $\frac{d+a}{a}\neq n (n=1, 2, 3,\cdot\cdot\cdot)$, there isn't missing order in diffraction pattern. (4) We also find a new quantum mechanics effect that the slit thickness $c$ has a large affect to the electronic diffraction patterns. We think all the predictions in our work can be tested by the electronic double-slit diffraction experiment.

description: Extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) and intermediate-mass-ratio inspirals (IMRIs)--binaries in which a stellar-mass object spirals into a massive black hole or other massive, compact body--are important sources of gravitational waves for LISA and LIGO, respectively. Thorne has speculated that the waves from EMRIs and IMRIs encode, in principle, all the details of (i) the central body's spacetime geometry (metric), (ii) the tidal coupling (energy and angular momentum exchange) between the central body and orbiting object, and (iii) the evolving orbital elements. Fintan Ryan has given a first partial proof that this speculation is correct: Restricting himself to nearly circular, nearly equatorial orbits and ignoring tidal coupling, Ryan proved that the central body's metric is encoded in the waves. In this paper we generalize Ryan's theorem. Retaining Ryan's restriction to nearly circular and nearly equatorial orbits, and dropping the assumption of no tidal coupling, we prove that Thorne's conjecture is nearly fully correct: the waves encode not only the central body's metric but also the evolving orbital elements and (in a sense slightly different from Thorne's conjecture) the evolving tidal coupling.

description: Purpose – Many health systems face challenges such as rising costs and lacking quality, both of which can be addressed by improving the integration of different health care sectors and professions. The purpose of this viewpoint is to present the German health care Innovation Fund (IF) initiated by the Federal Government to support the development and diffusion of integrated health care. Design/methodology/approach – This article describes the design and rationale of the IF in detail and provides first insights into its limitations, acceptance and implementation by relevant stakeholders. Findings – In its first period, the IF offered V 1.2 billion as start-up funding for model implementation and evaluation over a period of four years (2016–2019). This period was recently extended to a second round until 2024, offering V 200 million a year as from 2020. The IF is triggering the support of relevant insurers for the development of new integrated care models. In addition, strict evaluation requirements have led to a large number of health service research projects which assess structural and process improvements and thus enable evidence-based policy decisions. Originality/value – This article is the first of its kind to present the German IF to the international readership. The IF is a political initiative through which to foster innovations and promote integrated health care.
Facing the future: the function of planning in the Cayman Islands
Creators: name: Ebanks, Carson K.

description: The Cayman Islands, since 1935 have, in one form or another, had planning laws on its legislative roster. Over time there have been modifications to these planning initiatives. During the course of modification varying degrees of conflict have occurred. Usually it has been expressed as political dissatisfaction. Despite this there has been an implicit recognition that planning is a necessary and therefore enduring activity. The degree and kind of planning that is both culturally acceptable and contextually appropriate has yet to be fully articulated. Impediments to this articulation are multifaceted and include: legislated procedures for public debate on the planning function, the cultural context where land ownership (and therefore use) is perceived as a basic right, previous attempts at rational comprehensive planning that were both substantively and procedurally inappropriate, a general confusion between development control and land use planning, an historical confusion between capital works programmes and development planning. As a result, a national vision of what the islands should aspire to in a spatial or land use context has failed to emerge. Additionally, an appropriate method of planning as a process remains largely undeveloped. Incrementalism has come to be accepted as the preferred form of planning. Its flexibility is its most admirable quality, but one which also prevents it from articulating a long term strategy. Incrementalism and a subjective method of proposing planning initiatives have led to instances where either the results of the plans are at odds with their intentions, or the initiatives have failed to be accepted. Public participation in the planning process is a means through which consensus on an appropriate spatial form can be expressed. In keeping with an incremental approach electoral districts should, through political means, determine the most appropriate methods of public input. A growing awareness of planning and expanded functions of the planning department, an increasing sophistication of the island society and an increased awareness of ecological processes in business circles offer reasons for optimism on the future of planning in the Cayman Islands context. A collaborative planning approach is best suited to determine an appropriate planning function, through correct timing, clear problem identification, and an articulation of the community’s collective aspirations.

description: The projective hull X^ of a subset X in complex projective space P^n is an analogue of the classical polynomial hull of a set in C^n. If X is contained in an affine chart C^n on P^n, then the affine part of X^ is the set of points x in C^n for which there exists a constant M=M_x so that |p(x)| < M^d sup{|p(y)| : y in X} for all polynomials p of degree less than or equal to d, and any d > 0. Let X^(M) be the set of points x where M_x can be chosen < M. Using an argument of E. Bishop, we show the following. Let G be a compact real analytic curve (not necessarily connected) in C^2. Then for any linear projection p: C^2 --> C^1, the set of points in G^(M) lying above a point z in C^1 is finite for almost all z. Using this, we prove the conjecture that for any compact stable real-analytic curve G in P^n, the set G^-G is a 1-dimensional complex analytic subvariety of P^n-G.

description: We discuss our high precision radial velocity results of a sample of 90 M dwarfs observed with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope and the Harlan J. Smith 2.7 m Telescope at McDonald Observatory, as well as the ESO VLT and the Keck I telescopes, within the context of the overall frequency of Jupiter-mass planetary companions to main sequence stars. None of the stars in our sample show variability indicative of a giant planet in a short period orbit, with a < 1 AU. We estimate an upper limit of the frequency f of close-in Jovian planets around M dwarfs as < 1.27% (at the 1 sigma confidence level). Furthermore, we determine the efficiency of our survey to have noticed planets in circular orbits as 98% for companions with m sin i > 3.8 M_Jup and a < 0.7 AU. For eccentric orbits (e=0.6) the survey completeness is 95% for all planets with m sin i > 3.5 M_Jup and a < 0.7 AU. Our results point toward a generally lower frequency of close-in Jovian planets for M dwarfs as compared to FGK-type stars. This is an important piece of information for our understanding of the process of planet formation as a function of stellar mass.

Study of the reactions $e^+e^-\to2(π^+π^-)π^0π^0π^0$ and $e^+e^-\to2(π^+π^-)π^0π^0η$ at center-of-mass energies from threshold to 4.5 GeV using initial-state radiation

description: We study the processes $e^+e^-\to 2(π^+π^-)π^0π^0π^0γ$ and $2(π^+π^-)π^0π^0ηγ$ in which an energetic photon is radiated from the initial state. The data were collected with the \babar~ detector at SLAC. About 14\,000 and 4700 events, respectively, are selected from a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 469 fb^{-1}. The invariant mass of the hadronic final state defines the effective \epem center-of-mass energy. The center-of-mass energies range from threshold to 4.5 GeV. From the mass spectra, the first ever measurements of the $e^+e^-\to 2(π^+π^-)π^0π^0π^0$ and the $e^+e^-\to2(π^+π^-)π^0π^0η$ cross sections are performed. The contributions from $ωπ^+π^-π^0π^0$, $\eta2(π^+π^-)$, and other intermediate states are presented. We observe the $J/ψ$ and $ψ(2S)$ in most of these final states and measure the corresponding branching fractions, many of them for the first time.

description: In this paper we present a generalized Deep Learning-based approach for solving ill-posed large-scale inverse problems occuring in medical image reconstruction. Recently, Deep Learning methods using iterative neural networks (NNs) and cascaded NNs have been reported to achieve state-of-the-art results with respect to various quantitative quality measures as PSNR, NRMSE and SSIM across different imaging modalities. However, the fact that these approaches employ the application of the forward and adjoint operators repeatedly in the network architecture requires the network to process the whole images or volumes at once, which for some applications is computationally infeasible. In this work, we follow a different reconstruction strategy by strictly separating the application of the NN, the regularization of the solution and the consistency with the measured data. The regularization is given in the form of an image prior obtained by the output of a previously trained NN which is used in a Tikhonov regularization framework. By doing so, more complex and sophisticated network architectures can be used for the removal of the artefacts or noise than it is usually the case in iterative NNs. Due to the large scale of the considered problems and the resulting computational complexity of the employed networks, the priors are obtained by processing the images or volumes as patches or slices. We evaluated the method for the cases of 3D cone-beam low dose CT and undersampled 2D radial cine MRI and compared it to a total variation-minimization-based reconstruction algorithm as well as to a method with regularization based on learned overcomplete dictionaries. The proposed method outperformed all the reported methods with respect to all chosen quantitative measures and further accelerates the regularization step in the reconstruction by several orders of magnitude.
Housing street youth: a Vancouver case study
Creators: name: Stefanoff, Genya Jennifer Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the housing environment faced by street youth in the City of Vancouver. It seeks to understand the housing needs of street youth, to identify the barriers encountered in accessing housing, to identify and evaluate their housing options, and to examine the provincial and municipal government roles in providing housing for street youth. This thesis defines a street youth as an individual between the ages of 12 and 18 who has either chosen to leave or been thrown out of their family home for a minimum of two days, is involved in street related activities, and sleeps in inappropriate accommodations or has no shelter at all. The terms street youth and homeless youth are used interchangeably because the qualities which are absent from an individual’s living environment - privacy, security, stability and access to support services - are also absent from the various living situations in which street youth find themselves. The methodology undertaken to complete this thesis is a literature review and a case study of Vancouver’s street youth. The literature review provides background information on the general subject of homelessness, and specifically, the reasons why youth choose to live a life on the street and the lifestyle they lead once on the street. The empirical component of the research consists of interviews with service providers and street youth. The interview results clearly reveal that two interrelated problem areas exist in the broad issue of street youth and housing. These areas are first, the state care system, both its form and manner of service provision, and second, accessibility to market housing - social, economic and political factors which affect a youth’s ability to secure housing. An issue common to both problem areas, and perpetuating the problems in each, is the lack of value and respect society gives to youth. A ‘continuum of housing’ model is proposed which takes into account the family backgrounds conmion to many street youth, the types of lifestyle they lead while on the street, and the problems associated with state-provided and market housing. In addition, recommendations are provided which centre on advocacy and service-coordinating bodies, attitude changes, additional housing facilities, landlord-tenant relationships, government assistance eligibility criteria, and funding.

description: We show the vsini distribution of main sequence B stars in sites of various metallicities, in the absolute magnitude range -3.34 < Mv < -2.17. These include Galactic stars in the field measured by Abt et al. (2002), members of the h & chi Per open clusters measured by North et al. (2004), and five fields in the SMC and LMC measured at ESO Paranal with the FLAMES-GIRAFFE spectrograph, within the Geneva-Lausanne guaranteed time. Following the suggestion by Maeder et al. (1999), we do find a higher rate of rapid rotators in the Magellanic Clouds than in the Galaxy, but the vsini distribution is the same in the LMC and in the SMC in spite of their very different metallicities.
