Remarks
Frey (1969: 506) described this species from two females, but at least the holotype specimen appears to be amale taking into account the curved protibial terminal spur (paratype in NHMB not studied).
Description
Dorsum covered with dense dirty yellow fur-like pubescence. Male labroclypeus (Fig. 122) broadly deeply emarginate anteriorly, its lateral margins sinuous in both dorsal and lateral views. Anterolateral angles acute, strongly protruding.Punctures circular to ovoid, deep and dense.Setae very dense, appressed to erect, in part scale-like and broad, in part brush- or fur-like. Anterior margin sinuous with protruding anterolateral angles (stronger) and mesal portion (less strong). Basal margin broadly rounded. Lateral margin broadly rounded and shallowly emarginate prebasally, delicately crenulated all along. Punctures of pronotal disc circular to ovoid, moderately deep, dense. Setae brush- or fur-like, particularly dense along anterior and lateral margins, here completely hiding sculpture of dorsal surface. Hypomeron slightly curved and very long setose on anterior margin which is flange-like protruding. Antennal pocket deep. Elytra with maximum width in postmedian third, with no tracks of longitudinal carinae. Elytral punctures elongate, irregularly shaped, moderately dense. Setae clavate, curved, suberect, of variable length and size. Intervening spaces densely covered by velvety pubescence. Male protibia with almost complete dorsal carina and two rather small distal external teeth and curved protibial terminal spur.
Remark
This species’ male genital organs were not studied.

Observing the galactic plane with the Balloon-borne Large-Aperture Submillimeter Telescope
Creators: name: Marsden, Gaelen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2007

description: Stars form from collapsing massive clouds of gas and dust. The UV and optical light emitted by a forming or recently-formed star is absorbed by the surrounding cloud and is re-radiated thermally at infrared and submillimetre wavelengths. Observations in the submillimetre spectrum are uniquely sensitive to star formation in the early Universe, as the peak of the thermal emission is redshifted to submillimetre wavelengths. The coolest objects in star forming regions in our own Galaxy, including heavily-obscured proto-stars and starless gravitationally-bound clumps, are also uniquely bright in the submillimetre spectrum. The Earth's atmosphere is mostly opaque at these wavelengths, however, limiting the spectral coverage and sensitivity achievable from ground-based observatories. The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST) observes the sky from an altitude of 40 km, above 99.5% of the atmosphere, using a long-duration scientific balloon platform. BLAST observes at 3 broad-band wavelengths spanning 250-500 micron, taking advantage of detector technology developed for the space-based instrument SPIRE, scheduled for launch in 2008. The greatly-enhanced atmospheric transmission at float altitudes, increased detector sensitivity and large number of detector elements allow BLAST to survey much larger fields in a much smaller time than can be accomplished with ground-based instruments. It is expected that in a single 10-day flight, BLAST will detect ~10000 extragalactic sources, ~100 times the number detected in 10 years of ground-based observations, and 1000s of Galactic star-forming sources, a large fraction of which are not seen by infrared telescopes. The instrument has performed 2 scientific flights, in the summer of 2005 and winter of 2006, for a total of 16 days of observing time. This thesis discusses the design of the instrument, performance of the flights, and presents the analysis of 2 of the fields observed during the first flight. A failure in the optical system during the first flight precluded sensitive extragalactic observations, so the majority of the flight was spent observing Galactic targets. We anticipate exciting extragalactic and Galactic results from the 2006 data.

A system of customer co-creation for new product development of digital products with a pilot study of the Swiss media industry

Subjects: subject: 330 - Wirtschaft

description: In the age of digitisation, the media industry is faced with declining advertising revenues. Therefore, the focus on the development of new digital products is a key element to survive in such a fast-changing market and to increase the innovation performance. One of the most important elements thereby is the involvement of customers as co-creators in the new product development (NPD) process, so that new digital products are developed that are in demand on the market. However, the process of how companies turn external knowledge from customers into knowledge creation for generating new ideas and the development of innovative products has not been analysed. This pilot study, which presents an initial system of customer co-creation for NPD of digital products from the literature and searches for similarities and dissimilarities through an abductive qualitative data analysis from interviews with three managers in three different Swiss media companies, explores this unresolved research gap. The system of this study is based on an overarching phase model, which is derived from Application Lifecycle Management (ALM). The process anchored in it, which focuses on the customer co-creation of digital products, integrates process elements from the two user-centered approaches, namely User Centered Design (UCD) and Design Thinking (DT). The results from the interviews show that the system is largely in line with the NPD process procedures in the three media companies. It was found that customers can be involved everywhere in the NPD process, but that this is not yet implemented in practice. However, as the future ambition in media companies is to become even more customer- centric, the proposed system in this study is very promising.
Conditional source-term estimation methods for turbulent reacting flows
Creators: name: Jin, Bei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2007

description: Conditional Source-term Estimation (CSE) methods are used to obtain chemical closure in turbulent combustion simulation. A Laminar Flamelet Decomposition (LFD) and then a Trajectory Generated Low-Dimensional Manifold (TGLDM) method are combined with CSE in Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) simulation of non-premixed autoigniting jets. Despite the scatter observed in the experimental data, the predictions of ignition delay from both methods agree reasonably well with the measurements. The discrepancy between predictions of these two methods can be attributed to different ways of generating libraries that contain information of detailed chemical mechanism. The CSE-TGLDM method is recommended for its seemingly better performance and its ability to transition from autoignition to combustion. The effects of fuel composition and injection parameters on ignition delay are studied using the CSE-TGLDM method. The CSE-TGLDM method is then applied in Large Eddy Simulation of a non-premixed, piloted jet flame, Sandia Flame D. The adiabatic CSE-TGLDM method is extended to include radiation by introducing a variable enthalpy defect to parameterize TGLDM manifolds. The results are compared to the adiabatic computation and the experimental data. The prediction of NO formation is improved, though the predictions of temperature and major products show no significant difference from the adiabatic computation due to the weak radiation of the flame. The scalar fields are then extracted and used to predict the mean spectral radiation intensities of the flame. Finally, the application of CSE in turbulent premixed combustion is explored. A product-based progress variable is chosen for conditioning. Presumed Probability Density Function (PDF) models for the progress variable are studied. A modified version of a laminar flame-based PDF model is proposed, which best captures the distribution of the conditional variable among all PDFs under study. A priori tests are performed with the CSE and presumed PDF models. Reaction rates of turbulent premixed flames are closed and compared to the DNS data. The results are promising, suggesting that chemical closure can be achieved in premixed combustion using the CSE method.

description: This study delves into the complex historical backdrop of the British Raj plague and its effects on Xinjiang, China, during the late Qing Dynasty. Located on the northwest border of China, Xinjiang's strategic importance was heightened by its proximity to the Russian border and the British Raj. In 1897, a devastating plague outbreak struck Karachi and Mumbai, British Raj, rapidly spreading across the region and causing significant casualties. Recognizing the risk posed by the plague's potential transmission to Kashgar, Xinjiang, both China and Russia implemented preventive measures in their border areas. This led to tensions with British Raj, as these actions interfered with British interests. Despite its historical significance, there has been limited scholarly exploration of the information dissemination, the responses of China, Britain, and Russia, and the political rivalries that unfolded in the context of the British Raj plague. This research aims to fill this gap by shedding light on these intricate dynamics, offering a deeper understanding of this pivotal period in history

description: As we recover from the latest pandemic, accepting the transformation that higher education experienced, revamping our curricula, and supporting the emerging needs of our students, Generative AI (GenAI) comes unannounced, adding to the uncertainty that our role and institutions attempt to navigate and threatening the very essence of our beings: our critical thinking abilities. Critical thinking is the result of human cognitive efforts. When humans engage with a specific task, they rely on their cognitive skills (Westbrook & Braver, 2015) to make a decision, solve a problem, or simply plan their next move. Our role as educators is to ensure students’ critical thinking skills are activated, enhanced, and continuously triggered.

description: Fiber-optic undersea cables are the backbone of global communications and digital infrastructure. These cables, laid across thousands of miles of the ocean floor, transmit over 95 percent of global communications and facilitate over $10 trillion in financial transactions daily. As an island, Taiwan is almost entirely reliant on fifteen undersea cable systems for international communications. These cables are increasingly threatened by malicious “gray zone” activity by the People’s Republic of China (PRC). In 2023, two cables connecting the main Taiwanese island to its outlying Matsu Islands were severed by Chinese commercial vessels, resulting in a months-long communications outage.

This report presents decision-makers with innovative policy solutions to address Taiwan’s digital resiliency that are underexplored in existing literature. By enhancing resiliency, Taiwan raises the political and technical costs of damaging its digital infrastructure while narrowing the spectrum of harmful action in which the PRC may maintain plausible deniability.
Using genotypic and phenotypic methods to determine the HIV co-receptor phenotype in the clinical setting
Creators: name: Low, Andrew John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2007

description: Objective: The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) currently infects over 30 million people worldwide. It uses one of two main co-receptors to infect cells. The primary objective of this thesis is to evaluate genotypic and phenotypic assays for co-receptor usage in the clinical setting and investigate approaches for improvement of these assays. Methods: The concordance of recombinant co-receptor phenotyping assays and the predictive ability of genotype-based methods including the ‘11/25’ rule, position specific scoring matrices (PSSMs), and support vector machines (SVMs) were evaluated in the clinical setting using patient-derived plasma samples. Samples and patient data were evaluated in cross-sectional analyses from a retrospective population-based cohort of HIV-infected individuals enrolled in the HIV/AIDS Drug Treatment Program in British Columbia, Canada. Results: Current implementations of HIV V3 region-based predictors for HIV co-receptor usage tested on patient derived samples are inadequate in the clinical setting, primarily due to low sensitivities as a result of difficult to detect minority species. Recombinant phenotype assays also show discordances when tested against each other on the same set of patient derived samples, raising doubts if any of these assays can truly be considered a ‘gold standard’. Significant associations between clinical progression, viral sequence-based predictors of co-receptor usage and the output of recombinant assays are observed, suggesting that sensitivity can be improved by incorporating CD4% into genotype-based predictors. This is verified with a SVM model which showed a 17% increase in sensitivity when CD4% was incorporated into training and testing. Conclusion: This work in this thesis has exposed the difficulty in determining the co-receptor phenotype in the clinical setting, primarily due to minority species. Although genotypic methods of screening for HIV co-receptor usage prior to the administration of CCR5 antagonists may reduce costs and increase turn-around time over phenotypic methods, they are currently inadequate for use in the clinical setting due to low sensitivities. Although the addition of clinical parameters such as CD4 count significantly increases the predictive ability of genotypic methods, the presence of low-levels of X4 virus continues to reduce the sensitivity of both genotypic and phenotypic methods.

Swimming in four goldfish (Carassius auratus) morphotypes: understanding functional design and performance through artificial selection
Creators: name: Li, Jason
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2007

description: Although artificially selected goldfish exhibit swimming performance decrements, with the most derived morphotypes more affected, they can be utilized to explore functional design and movement pattern principles in aquatic vertebrates. Drag, steady swimming kinematics (tailbeat frequency, amplitude, stride length), energetics (standard and active metabolic rate), fast-start performance (average and maximum velocity and acceleration), stability in yaw and roll and propulsive muscle ultrastructural characteristics (mitochondrial volume density and spacing, myofibril diameter and capillary to fibre ratio in red and white muscle) were measured for four morphotypes: common, comet, fantail and eggfish, of comparable length (≈ 5 cm). A performance “pairing” (common and comet; fantail and eggfish) was a recurrent theme for most performance parameters. Vertebral numbers (30), segment lengths (≈ 0.85 mm) and standard metabolic rates (≈ 140 mg O2 kg-1 hr-1) are exceptions where values are the same. Fantail and eggfish drag and drag coefficients (referenced to frontally projected area ≈ 0.6 - 0.9) were higher (requiring more thrust at any given velocity) than those for the more streamlined common and comet (≈ 0.3 - 0.6; P < 0.05). This is reflected in kinematics; tailbeat frequency and stride length at any given velocity for the common and comet are lower and higher respectively than that of the fantail and eggfish (P < 0.05). Common and comet fatigue times are not significantly different from that of their ancestor, Crucian carp (P > 0.05), and are lower than those of the fantail and eggfish (P < 0.05). The cost of transport of the common and comet (≈ 0.6 mg O2 kg-1 m-1) is accurately predicted from the mass scaling relationship for fish (P > 0.05), but values for the fantail and eggfish (≈ 1.3 mg O2 kg-1 m-1) are not (P < 0.05). Eggfish steady swimming (dorsal fin absent) was characterized by rolling and yawing motions associated with significant energy losses. Common and comet fast-start performance (average velocity ≈ 0.45 m s-1, maximum velocity ≈ 1.2 m s-1, average acceleration ≈ 7.5 m s-2, maximum acceleration ≈ 35 m s-2) was similar to that of other locomotor generalists (e.g. trout). Eggfish maximum acceleration (≈ 5 m s-2) is poor due to the absence of inertial and lifting contributions to thrust from the dorsal fin and energy wasting rolling motions. Artificially selected fish can bear upon fitness related adaptations associated with form and movement, providing insights into the “performance envelope” of natural systems subject to ecological speciation.

description: In contrast to normal cells, cancer cells predominantly utilise glycolysis for ATP generation under aerobic conditions, facilitating proliferation and metastasis. Targeting glycolysis is effective for cancer treatment. Prodigiosin (PDG) is a natural compound with various bioactivities, including anticancer effects. However, the precise action mechanisms and molecular targets of PDG, which has demonstrated efficacy in regulating glucose metabolism in cancer cells, remain elusive. Here, we aimed to investigate the anti-cancer activity of PDG and mechanism in cancer metabolism. PDG regulated cancer metabolism by suppressing intracellular ATP production rate and levels. It inhibited glycolysis and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, impeding ATP production dependent on both glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration. Moreover, it inhibited cellular glucose uptake by directly interacting with glucose transporter 1 without affecting its mRNA or protein levels in HCT116 cells. We provide insights into the anti-cancer effects of PDG mediated via cancer metabolism regulation, suggesting its therapeutic potential for cancer.

description: El legado sociológico reúne un conjunto de ensayos sobre el nacimiento y desarrollo de la sociología en Colombia. En este volumen se entiende por sociología el estudio de la estructura y del funcionamiento de las sociedades. La noción de estructura alude a los factores que fijan o tienden a fijar la conducta de los miembros de un grupo, y la de funcionamiento a la idea de cambio, lucha y conflicto. No hay sistema social que marche a la perfección. Los pueblos felices carecen de historia; solo existen para nutrir ficciones y esparcimientos paradisíacos. Desde el siglo XIX varios pensadores nacionales se interesaron por las aplicaciones de la sociología. Manifestaron que estudiar las cosas como son era esfuerzo notable, pero si a esto se sumaba el examen de cómo habían llegado a ser, las ciencias sociales adquirían mayor vigor para orientar programas de cambio y mejora sociales. El legado sociológico ofrece un sugestivo contraste entre la incipiente sociología colombiana de fines del siglo XIX y su afirmación final en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, cuya expresión más acabada se encuentra en la obra de Orlando Fals Borda.

Attention in a meaningful world: brain responses to behavioral relevance
Creators: name: Tipper, Christine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2007

description: While it is known that primitive, low-level visual stimuli such as abrupt visual onsets or luminance changes can bias attentional orienting without willful intent on the part of the observer, comparatively little is known about how attention functions in rich, dynamic, meaningful contexts, such as those that comprise our everyday lives. The primary motivating hypothesis of this investigation is that, given our intrinsic needs as evolved social organisms, as well as our capability for behavioral flexibility, the attention system should be sensitive not only to low-level stimulus features, but also to complex stimuli that provide behaviorally relevant information. Three separate lines of research will be presented, each one providing a unique perspective on this issue. The first examined attentional orienting to socially relevant stimuli, finding that eye gaze serves as particularly potent cue for attentional orienting, driving the cortical orienting network more robustly than non-social stimuli, and resulting in a larger attention-related modulation of the early visual processing of stimuli appearing at attended locations. The second line of inquiry investigated patterns of eye movements while participants viewed naturalistic navigational scenes, revealing a dynamic interplay of orienting to the various behaviorally relevant aspects of the scene. The third set of studies specifically addressed whether, given the relevance of heading information for guiding navigational behavior, there is evidence that attention can be oriented automatically to the heading point in an optic flow field simulating the patterns of visual stimulation that accompany self-motion. Together, the results converge on the conclusion that attention can be oriented automatically in a dynamic, flexible, and continuous manner on the basis of complex visual stimuli that provide behaviorally relevant information.

description: Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is a perennial herb, widely used as a natural sweetener around the globe. The key compounds responsible for its sweetness includes stevioside and rebaudioside-A. In order to improve these steviol glycosides, the present study was initiated to study the effect of induced mutagenesis on growth parameters, steviol glycosides and nuclear DNA content in Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni using ten doses of gamma-rays (5-100 kR). Healthy seeds of ‘Madhuguna’ variety of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni developed and maintained at stevia breeding farm, Agrotechnology division, CSIR-Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology, Palampur (HP), India were irradiated with ten doses of gamma rays (600 seeds each/dose) ranging from 5 kR to 100 kR (i.e., 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 80 and 100 kR) using Co60 gamma irradiation chamber at CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, (Haryana), India. Significant variations were recorded for all the seedling traits studied while major impact was noticed on the seedling after reaching the cotyledonary stage and doses above 40 kR showed absolute mortality of the seedlings. Based on probit analysis, the optimum LD50 dose lies in the range of 20-23 kR. Glycosidic profiling of 296 mutants using high-performance liquid chromatography showed decreased total steviol glycoside content with increased radiation dose. Doses 5 kR and 10 kR, were found to be effective in increasing the overall glycosidic content. A total of 72 promising mutants were also screened for increased rebaudioside-A stevioside ratio. Comparison of nuclear DNA content using flow cytometry revealed a similar decrease in the total nuclear DNA content with increase in dosage of gamma rays. The average genome size at 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 kR treatments were 2.72, 2.69, 2.68, 2.70 and 2.66 pg as compared to 2.72 pg in control. Mild dose of gamma rays (5 and 10 kR) in stevia were found to be effective in improving the mean steviol glycoside content and may be used in future stevia mutation programmes.
