Eating clean meat : storytelling, consumption, and the rhetorical body
Creators: name: Ness, Nathanial J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: The concept of lab-grown meat as a viable alternative to animal agriculture has gained serious traction in recent conversations about the future of food. On the one hand, it is framed as a solution to the ecological and ethical effects of the livestock industry; on the other, it is framed as another industrial venture: the cellular livestock industry. In their efforts to appeal simultaneously to legislative bodies, investors, and the consumer public, stakeholders in the “emerging meat-space” have developed elaborate discursive strategies to appear “disruptive,” while maintaining the status quo. For my project, I will examine these discursive strategies from a rhetorical perspective as they are performed in Paul Shapiro’s Clean Meat (2018). I will argue that, despite engaging with necessary conversations about food, consumption patterns, and the ramifications of meat writ large, the clean meat “solution” is conceptually undergirded by the same industrial capitalist logic that caused the problem in the first place. As such, I propose reading Shapiro’s text as a mechanism that both abstracts and enables the gross accumulation of resources for an increasingly insulated sector of the global population. In the first chapter, I will explore how this works through the rhetorical use of narrative by examining the imaginative resources informing Clean Meat’s story-world. With an understanding of narrative as “worldbuilding for some purpose” (James 2022), I will highlight the narratives of human exceptionalism that not only make clean meat persuasive, but imaginatively delimit alternative approaches to the future of food. In the second chapter, I will examine how Shapiro enlists the rhetorical figure of the body as a way to foreground and foreclose the “good” and “bad” elements of meat and clean meat, and in so doing portray clean meat as “real,” ethical, and detached from relational materialities. In response, I read Clean Meat through a relational and materialist lens as a way to highlight the dangerous fiction of what I am calling Shapiro’s dis/embodied clean meat rhetoric.

description: Optical antennas link objects to light. Here, we analyze metal nanorod antennas as cavities with variable reflection coefficients to derive the interaction of dipolar transitions with radiation through the antenna modes. The presented analytical model accurately describes the complete emission process, and is summarized in a phase-matching equation. We show how antenna modes evolve as they become increasingly more bound, i.e. plasmonic. The results illustrate why efficient antennas should not be too plasmonic, and how subradiant even modes can evolve into weakly-interacting dark modes. Our description is valid for the interaction of nanorods with light in general, and is thus widely applicable.

New lows : the effects of climate change-associated warming on vertical distributions of rocky intertidal communities
Creators: name: Hansen, Rebecca
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Shifts in species distributions are one of the most anticipated impacts of climate change-associated warming. In the rocky intertidal zone, vertical species distributions may respond to warming through changes to upper distributional limits, which are typically determined by abiotic stress. Downward shifts in species upper limits could trigger major changes to intertidal communities, especially if lower limits, which are more often determined by biotic interactions, respond differently to warming. To investigate the effects of warming on intertidal species limits, I combined historical comparisons of intertidal distributions with an experimental thermal manipulation. Both my observational and experimental work took place along Juan de Fuca Strait, a region which has experienced warming over the past 65 years. Through my observational comparisons, I found that the upper limits of six intertidal foundation species (the sessile invertebrates Chthamalus dallii, Balanus glandula, Pollicipes polymerus, and Mytilus californianus, and the brown algae Fucus distichus and Hedophyllum sessile) were lower in 2022 than 1957-1958 and 2009-2010. Shifts in lower limits only occurred for sessile invertebrates between 2009-2010 and 2022, a period during which their major predator, sea stars, were suffering from disease-induced mass mortality. Across the intertidal assemblage as a whole, upper limits also shifted downwards between 1957-1958 and 2022. Shifts were largest in the high intertidal zone, an abiotically stressful environment which is mostly inhabited by sessile invertebrates, and at the western end of Juan de Fuca Strait, where lower air temperatures, higher wave action, and earlier low tide times lead to lower abiotic stress. Through my field experiments, which manipulated temperature at the upper limit of Hedophyllum sessile, I found that change in H. sessile percent cover of was higher when artificially shaded. This suggests that H. sessile, which provides habitat to invertebrates and other algae, could have persisted at higher intertidal heights under the cooler conditions of the past. My results suggest that shifting upper species limits in Juan de Fuca Strait are the result of climactic warming. These shifts are likely to continue with climate change and could have important consequences for the structure and function of temperate rocky intertidal ecosystems.

Transit Lightcurves of Extrasolar Planets Orbiting Rapidly-Rotating Stars

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Main-sequence stars earlier than spectral type ~F6 or so are expected to rotate rapidly due to their radiative exteriors. This rapid rotation leads to an oblate stellar figure. It also induces the photosphere to be hotter (by up to several thousand Kelvin) at the pole than at the equator as a result of a process called gravity darkening that was first predicted by von Zeipel (1924). Transits of extrasolar planets across such a non-uniform, oblate disk yield unusual and distinctive lightcurves that can be used to determine the relative alignment of the stellar rotation pole and the planet orbit normal. This spin-orbit alignment can be used to constrain models of planet formation and evolution. Orderly planet formation and migration within a disk that is coplanar with the stellar equator will result in spin-orbit alignment. More violent planet-planet scattering events should yield spin-orbit misaligned planets. Rossiter-McLaughlin measurements of transits of lower-mass stars show that some planets are spin-orbit aligned, and some are not. Since Rossiter-McLaughlin measurements are difficult around rapid rotators, lightcurve photometry may be the best way to determine the spin-orbit alignment of planets around massive stars. The Kepler mission will monitor ~10^4 of these stars within its sample. The lightcurves of any detected planets will allow us to probe the planet formation process around high-mass stars for the first time.

AFFLUENCE OF ALTERNATE PACE RUNNING ON SELECTED PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS AMONG COLLEGE MEN STUDENTS
Creators: name: Dr. R. Thanalakshmi
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The purpose of the study was designed to examine the effect of alternate pace running on speed and strength endurance among college men students.  For the purpose of the study, thirty college men students from Dr. Sivanthi Aditanar College of Physical Education, Tiruchendur, Tamilnadu, India were selected as subjects.  They were divided into two equal groups.  each group consisted of the fifteen subjects.  Group I underwent alternate pace running for three days per week for twelve weeks.  Group II acted as control who did not undergo any special training programme apart from their regular physical education programme.

The following variables, namely speed and strength endurance were selected as criterion variables.  All the subjects of the two groups were tested on selected dependent variables namely speed and strength endurance by using 50 mts run and bend knee sit ups at prior to and immediately after the training programme. The analysis of covariance was used to analyze the significant difference if any among the groups. The .05 level of confidence was fixed as the level of significance to test the ‘F’ ratio obtained by the analysis of covariance, which was considered appropriate.

The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference between alternate pace running group and control group on speed and strength endurance. And also, it was found that there was a significant improvement on selected criterion variables such as speed and strength endurance due to alternate pace running.

description: The effect of pressure on superconductivity of 111 type NaxFeAs is investigated through temperature dependent electrical resistance measurement in a diamond anvil cell. The superconducting transition temperature (Tc) increases from 26 K to a maximum 31 K as the pressure increases from ambient to 3 GPa. Further increasing pressure suppresses Tc drastically. The behavior of pressure tuned Tc in NaxFeAs is much different from that in LixFeAs, although they have the same Cu2Sb type structure
Thermoelectric power and Hall coefficient measurements on Ba(Fe(1-x)TMx)2As2 (TM = Co and Cu)

description: Temperature dependent thermoelectric power (TEP) data on Ba(Fe1-xTMx)2As2 (TM = Co and Cu), complemented by the Hall coefficient data on the samples from the same batches, have been measured. For Co-doping we clearly see a change in the temperature dependent TEP and Hall coefficient data when the sample is doped to sufficient $e$ (the number of extra electrons associated with the TM doping) so as to stabilize low temperature superconductivity. Remarkably, a similar change is found in the Cu-doped samples at comparable e-value, even though these compounds do not superconduct. These changes possibly point to a significant modification of the Fermi surface / band structure of Ba(Fe1-xTM_x)2As2 at small electron doping, that in the case of Co-doping is just before, and probably allows for, the onset of superconductivity. These data further suggest that suppression of the structural / magnetic phase transition and the establishment of a proper e-value are each necessary but, individually, not sufficient conditions for superconductivity.

description: The buckling of hyperelastic incompressible cylindrical tubes of arbitrary length and thickness under compressive axial load is considered within the framework of nonlinear elasticity. Analytical and numerical methods for bifurcation are developed using the exact solution of Wilkes for the linearized problem within the Stroh formalism. Using these methods, the range of validity of the Euler buckling formula and its first nonlinear corrections are obtained for third-order elasticity. The values of the geometric parameters (tube thickness and slenderness) where a transition between buckling and barrelling is observed are also identified.

description: In linear transport, the fluctuation-dissipation theorem relates equilibrium current correlations to the linear conductance coefficient. Theory and experiment have shown that in small electrical conductors the non-linear I-V-characteristic of two-terminal conductor exhibits terms which are asymmetric in magnetic field and thus micro-reversibility is manifestly broken. We discuss a non-equilibrium fluctuation dissipation theorem which is not based on micro-reversibility. It connects the antisymmetric nonlinear conductance with the third cumulant of equilibrium current fluctuations and a noise term that is proportional to temperature, magnetic field and voltage.

description: In cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED), light-matter interaction is probed at its most fundamental level, where individual atoms are coupled to single photons stored in three-dimensional cavities. This unique possibility to experimentally explore the foundations of quantum physics has greatly evolved with the advent of circuit QED, where on-chip superconducting qubits and oscillators play the roles of two-level atoms and cavities, respectively. In the strong coupling limit, atom and cavity can exchange a photon frequently before coherence is lost. This important regime has been reached both in cavity and circuit QED, but the design flexibility and engineering potential of the latter allowed for increasing the ratio between the atom-cavity coupling rate and the cavity transition frequency above the percent level. While these experiments are well described by the renowned Jaynes-Cummings model, novel physics is expected in the ultrastrong coupling limit. Here, we report on the first experimental realization of a superconducting circuit QED system in the ultrastrong coupling limit and present direct evidence for the breakdown of the Jaynes-Cummings model.

description: For precise, efficient, and safe drone landings, ground platforms should real-time, accurately locate descending drones and guide them to designated spots. While mmWave sensing combined with cameras improves localization accuracy, the lower sampling frequency of traditional frame cameras compared to mmWave radar creates bottlenecks in system throughput. In this work, we replace the traditional frame camera with event camera, a novel sensor that harmonizes in sampling frequency with mmWave radar within the ground platform setup, and introduce mmE-Loc, a high-precision, low-latency ground localization system designed for drone landings. To fully leverage the \textit{temporal consistency} and \textit{spatial complementarity} between these modalities, we propose two innovative modules, \textit{consistency-instructed collaborative tracking} and \textit{graph-informed adaptive joint optimization}, for accurate drone measurement extraction and efficient sensor fusion. Extensive real-world experiments in landing scenarios from a leading drone delivery company demonstrate that mmE-Loc outperforms state-of-the-art methods in both localization accuracy and latency.

Pregnant and Powerful:  Detective film Fargo (1996) Challenges Traditional Norms of Motherhood
Creators: name: Mahmudul Hasan Safin
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description:  

This paper has analyzed pregnancy concerning detective film and uses the example of Fargo (1996). Central to this story is the idea that pregnancy is at once a source of resistance and weakness, disrupting stereotypical notions about motherhood. The paper begins with a summary of pregnancy in fiction and discusses pregnant women's traditional roles as victims and witnesses. This paper claims, pregnant women to star in detective stories such as Marge Gunderson in Fargo (1996) by coens' brothers is a new way of portraying pregnancy.  In conclusion, this paper argues that Fargo challenges audience expectations by portraying Marge as a strong, capable, and independent woman, even while pregnant. She is not afraid to take on dangerous and challenging tasks, such as investigating the kidnapping of a young woman, and she often outwits the male characters in the film. Moreover, Marge's pregnancy is never used as a source of weakness or vulnerability. Instead, it is portrayed as a natural part of her life that does not stop her from doing her job or achieving her goals.

description: In a plasma at temperature close to the fundamental scale a small fraction of particles will experience transplanckian collisions that may result in microscopic black holes (BHs). We study the dynamics of a system (a black hole gas) defined by radiation at a given temperature coupled to a distribution of BHs of different mass. Our analysis includes the production of BHs in photon-photon collisions, BH evaporation, the absorption of radiation, collisions of two BHs to give a larger one, and the effects of the expansion. We find that the system may follow two different generic paths depending on the initial temperature of the plasma.

Year: 2017

description: Different types of training programs are designed in the physical education curricular to improve the overall physical and physiological development of physical education beginners. The present study was conducted to assess the factor structural changes after training on physical and physiological parameters of male beginners in the physical education profession. The principal component method was selected for the primary solution of factor analysis. Physical education male students of first year BPE Centre for physical education, University of Calicut were elected as subjects. The variables selected for this study were speed, strength, endurance, agility and flexibility. The study shows significant improvement in almost all variables. There was considerable improvement in agility along with the speed. There was considerable improvement in abdominal strength rather than shoulder strength. There was a noticeable improvement in the cardio respiratory endurance and the general strength.  There was significant change in the flexibility of the subjects. The study also indicates that the training was not sufficiently balanced so as to improve explosive strength for vertical jump, solder strength and arm strength.

The mass function of young star clusters in spiral galaxies
Creators: name: Larsen, S. S.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The initial cluster mass function (ICMF) in spiral galaxy discs is constrained and compared with data for old globular clusters and young clusters in starbursts. It is found that the observed ages and luminosities of the brightest clusters in spiral discs can be reproduced if the ICMF is a Schechter function with a cut-off mass (Mc) of a few times 10^5 Msun and disruption of optically visible clusters is dominated by relatively slow secular evolution. A direct Schechter function fit to the combined cluster MF for all spirals in the sample studied here yields Mc = (2.1+/-0.4)x10^5 Msun. The MFs in cluster-poor and cluster-rich spirals are statistically indistinguishable. An Mc=2.1x10^5 Msun Schechter function also fits the MF of young clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud. If the same ICMF applies in the Milky Way, a bound cluster with M>10^5 Msun will form about once every 10 Myr, while an M>10^6 Msun cluster will form only once every 50 Gyr. Luminosity functions (LFs) of model cluster populations drawn from an Mc=2.1x10^5 Msun Schechter ICMF generally agree with LFs observed in spiral galaxies. It is thus concluded that the ICMF in present-day spiral discs can be modelled as a Schechter function with Mc = 200,000 Msun. However, the presence of significant numbers of M>10^6 Msun (and even M>10^7 Msun) clusters in some starburst galaxies makes it unlikely that the Mc value derived for spirals is universal. In high-pressure environments, such as those created by complex gas kinematics and feedback in mergers, Mc can shift to higher masses than in quiescent discs.

This has forced many people working in these institutions to Indigenize. But what has remained unclear is how one sets about to Indigenize themselves and their practice. Using Indigenous Storywork (Archibald, 2008) this project examines written stories by 11 non-Indigenous post-secondary educators in Stó:lō Téméxw (territory) told from their positions as non-teaching staff, professors, and administrators. Their stories tell how they shifted their practice to include Indigenous content and pedagogies, and honour Indigenous ways of knowing and being. They also share insights about becoming an Indigenizer. The Stó:lō researcher uses Indigenous Storywork as theory with an emphasis on Stó:lō teachings. The principles of Indigenous Storywork guide the methods for the research and the meaning making process. Referred to as Storywork Listening, the written stories are visited again and again with each revolution making meaning and understanding differently within an Indigenous paradigm. The stories elucidate six themes on the path to Indigenizing: We Were Children; Historical Amnesia; Decolonization; Coming to Know; Ceremony as Teacher; and Learning from Indigenous Peoples. These themes are brought together into a metaphorical river contributing to Indigenizing the Academy. The complexities of Storywork Listening educate one’s heart, mind, body and spirit wherein the power of story is experienced as a new story unfolds with a promise for the future. A future of Indigenizing will be built with a deep knowledge of the historic past and its effect on today; on good Indigenous/non-Indigenous relationships; respect for ways of knowing other than our own; and, with changes in how we view and act in the world we share. It will be hard work, and it will take the efforts of many, but it will be accomplished one heart at a time.

description: We present results from combining a grid-based radiative transfer code with a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics code to produce a flexible system for modelling radiation hydrodynamics. We use a benchmark model of a circumstellar disc to determine a robust method for constructing a gridded density distribution from SPH particles. The benchmark disc is then used to determine the accuracy of the radiative transfer results. We find that the SED and the temperature distribution within the disc are sensitive to the representation of the disc inner edge, which depends critically on both the grid and SPH resolution. The code is then used to model a circumstellar disc around a T-Tauri star. As the disc adjusts towards equilibrium vertical motions in the disc are induced resulting in scale height enhancements which intercept radiation from the central star. Vertical transport of radiation enables these perturbations to influence the mid-plane temperature of the disc. The vertical motions decay over time and the disc ultimately reaches a state of simultaneous hydrostatic and radiative equilibrium.

description: The asymmetric Higgs sector of one $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R$ bidoublet $(ϕ_1^0,ϕ_1^-;ϕ_2^+,ϕ_2^0)$ and one $SU(2)_R$ doublet [but no $SU(2)_L$ doublet] is considered in a nonsupersymmetric left-right extension of the standard model (SM) of particle interactions. The inverse seesaw mechanism for neutrino mass is naturally implemented with the addition of fermion singlets, allowing thereby the possibility of breaking $SU(2)_R$ at the TeV scale. In the limit $v_2 = < ϕ_2^0 > = 0$, the unavoidable flavor-changing neutral Higgs couplings to quarks are studied and shown to be naturally suppressed in $K-\bar{K}$ and $B-\bar{B}$ mixing, as well as in $b \to s γ$. All particles are consistent with having masses less than 1 TeV, and could be observable at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

description: Data from tens of millions of measurements along drill cores, images and X-rays of thousands of cores, core descriptions, instrument manuals, technical drawings, and other scientific ocean drilling documentation are currently maintained by the JOIDES Resolution Science Operator (JRSO) at Texas A&M as part of the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP). Besides data collected from IODP expeditions from 2014 through 2024, the JRSO archives data from the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (2004-2013) and the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP; 1985-2003). IODP-JRSO is set to end on September 30, 2024, with the demobilization of the Research Vessel JOIDES Resolution. While some of the functions of the JRSO will be continued in a subsequent phaseout period of a few years, the data from the past many years of scientific ocean drilling will need to be preserved.

Currently, data from all phases of IODP and ODP are available through the LIMS and JANUS databases hosted by the JRSO. We anticipate that these databases will be maintained during at least part of the phaseout period, with availability beyond that uncertain. Long-term preservation of a subset of data has traditionally been handled through the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), but these typically do not include all the data types gathered, raw data files, metadata files, or associated documentation. To ensure a more comprehensive set of data is captured, JRSO is using the open science data storage platform Zenodo. Zenodo follows FAIR principles and generates a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) for each dataset, which when paired with author and keyword metadata and the DOI of each original Expedition Proceedings Volume, makes datasets easily findable using internet search engines. We have established the Zenodo IODP Community to organize migrated data under a single umbrella, and to allow post-expedition research groups to connect new data derived from DSDP, ODP and IODP samples to the larger IODP research community.

description: In this paper, we consider a geometric formalism for optimal control of underactuated mechanical systems. Our techniques are an adaptation of the classical Skinner and Rusk approach for the case of Lagrangian dynamics with higher-order constraints. We study a regular case where it is possible to establish a symplectic framework and, as a consequence, to obtain a unique vector field determining the dynamics of the optimal control problem. These developments will allow us to develop a new class of geometric integrators based on discrete variational calculus.

A 500 Parsec Halo Surrounding the Galactic Globular NGC 1851

description: Using imaging that shows four magnitudes of main sequence stars, we have discovered that the Galactic globular cluster NGC 1851 is surrounded by a halo that is visible from the tidal radius of 700 arcsec (41 pc) to more than 4500 arcsec (>250 pc). This halo is symmetric and falls in density as a power law of $r^{-1.24}$. It contains approximately 0.1% of the dynamical mass of NGC 1851. There is no evidence for tidal tails. Current models of globular cluster evolution do not explain this feature, although simulations of tidal influences on dwarf spheroidal galaxies qualitatively mimic these results. Given the state of published models it is not possible to decide between creation of this halo from isolated cluster evaporation, or from tidal or disk shocking, or from destruction of a dwarf galaxy in which this object may have once been embedded.

Dynamical stability criterion for inhomogeneous quasi-stationary states in long-range systems

description: We derive a necessary and sufficient condition of linear dynamical stability for inhomogeneous Vlasov stationary states of the Hamiltonian Mean Field (HMF) model. The condition is expressed by an explicit disequality that has to be satisfied by the stationary state, and it generalizes the known disequality for homogeneous stationary states. In addition, we derive analogous disequalities that express necessary and sufficient conditions of formal stability for the stationary states. Their usefulness, from the point of view of linear dynamical stability, is that they are simpler, although they provide only sufficient criteria of linear stability. We show that for homogeneous stationary states the relations become equal, and therefore linear dynamical stability and formal stability become equivalent.

Stability analysis and improvement in computational fluid dynamics

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Novel stability analysis and improvement tools are designed and developed herein for the improved numerical stability and convergence of computational fluid dynamics simulations. This approach involves the development of a versatile numerical stability enhancement scheme that ensures flexibility, reliability, and scalability, allowing customization to user-specific requirements. Notably, the proposed algorithm is entirely non-invasive and operates independently of the underlying numerical simulation software architecture. Different computational methods are employed for each component of the general stability improvement algorithm and meticulously tested and optimized to identify the most efficient combinations for diverse applications. While the proposed algorithms are capable of modifications to any property of the simulation, this study concentrates on local mesh optimization to enhance the convergence behavior of numerical simulations. It is shown that through the methodologies presented, minor adjustments to a local collection of mesh vertices can yield significant improvements in numerical stability and convergence, often stabilizing fully unstable simulations at a fraction of the computational cost incurred by the flow solver. Innovative methods are provided to address cases where opposing numerical solution modes hinder the effectiveness of the presented algorithm when working with large-scale industrial simulations. Further, novel methods are presented for cell and vertex identification as well as vertex modification vector calculation. The presented algorithms are designed to fully automate the stability improvement and mesh optimization process, minimizing human intervention and decision-making requirements. Furthermore, an innovative approach is presented to remove the unwanted noise in solution modes extracted from the principal component analysis or residual vector analysis. Rigorous testing against various numerical simulations, including our in-house flow solver and the Ansys Fluent industrial solver, demonstrates the effectiveness and efficiency of the presented algorithms. Importantly, implementation with external flow solvers does not necessitate access to the underlying software architecture. The findings highlight the scalability potential of the presented methodologies for large-scale turbulent applications with minimal computational overhead compared to the flow solver.
