description: Adding VLBI capability to the SKA arrays will greatly broaden the science of the SKA, and is feasible within the current specifications. SKA-VLBI can be initially implemented by providing phased-array outputs for SKA1-MID and SKA1-SUR and using these extremely sensitive stations with other radio telescopes, and in SKA2 by realising a distributed configuration providing baselines up to thousands of km, merging it with existing VLBI networks. The motivation for and the possible realization of SKA-VLBI is described in this paper.

description: The governance between civic organizations and local governments plays a fundamental role in preserving, planning, and managing urban green spaces. Regional Parks are crucial because they are closely linked to urban development in mid-sized cities. These urban green spaces balance ecological conservation with recreational and community needs. This exploratory study examines the role of civic organizations involved in the governance of regional parks in Kelowna, British Columbia. Additionally, it explores the collaboration of civic organizations with local governments and how this governance structure serves the public. This study investigates how these partnerships influence decision-making, policy implementation, and long-term park sustainability. The research identifies key governance dynamics, including formal and informal collaborations, shared responsibilities, and challenges such as resource constraints and communication barriers. The analysis includes findings that are important for the planning, implementation, and management of collaborative arrangements in regional parks in Kelowna. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, civic organizations, urban planners, and the general population. The findings offer practical recommendations to enhance collaborative governance. These insights contribute to more effective regional park management, fostering sustainable urban development and environmental preservation. The study’s recommendations are tailored to Kelowna and the Regional District of Central Okanagan. Nonetheless, the framework is applicable to other mid-sized cities facing comparable dynamics between natural and built environments and stakeholders.

description: Cyclocarya paliurus has been used commonly to treat diabetes in China. However, the effective components and the effect of plant origin remain unclear. In this study, C. paliurus leaves with different chemical compositions were selected from five geographical locations, and their effects on streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice were evaluated with both ethanol and aqueous extracts. Glucose levels, lipid levels, and biomarkers of liver and kidney function were measured. The principal components of both C. paliurus ethanol and aqueous extracts from different geographical locations differed quantitatively and qualitatively. Results showed that C. paliurus extracts with better antihyperglycemic effects were characterized by higher contents of total flavonoids, especially quercetin-3-O-glucuronide and kaempferol-3-O-glucuronide. Furthermore, significantly negative correlations were found between triterpenoids contents and lipid levels. These results revealed the potential antihyperglycemic capacity of C. paliurus flavonoids and the antihyperlipidemic effect of C. paliurus triterpenoids. Thus, we suggest that the composition of C. paliurus compounds might help to design therapeutic alternatives for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. However, geographic origins and the extraction solvents can also affect the effectiveness of the treatment as these factors influence the chemical compositions and thereby the biological activities.

description: Multiparametric flow cytometry is an alternative approach to the polymerase chain reaction method for evaluating minimal residual disease in treatment protocols for primary acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Given considerable differences between primary and relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia treatment regimens, flow cytometric assessment of minimal residual disease in relapsed leukemia requires an independent comprehensive investigation. In the present study we addressed evaluation of minimal residual disease by flow cytometry in the clinical trial for childhood relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia using eight-color flow cytometry. The major challenge of the study was to reliably identify low amounts of residual leukemic cells against the complex background of regeneration, characteristic of follow-up samples during relapse treatment. In a prospective study of 263 follow-up bone marrow samples from 122 patients with B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia, we tested various B-cell markers, adapted the antibody panel to the treatment protocol, and evaluated its performance by a blinded parallel comparison with the polymerase chain reaction data. The resulting eight-color single-tube panel showed a consistently high overall concordance (P<0.001) and, under optimal conditions, sensitivity similar to that of the reference polymerase chain reaction method. Overall, evaluation of minimal residual disease by flow cytometry can be successfully integrated into the clinical management of relapsed childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia either as complementary to the polymerase chain reaction or as an independent risk stratification tool.

Mapping mystic spaces in the self and its stories: Reading (through) the gaps in Ernest Buckler's "The Mountain and the Valley", Alice Munro's "Lives of Girls and Women", Peter Ackroyd's "The House of Doctor Dee", Adele Wiseman's "Crackpot", and A S Byatt's "Possession"

description: In their novels, Ernest Buckler, Alice Munro, Peter Ackroyd, Adele Wiseman and A. S. Byatt have each explored moments when their characters experience expanded states of consciousness. Narratives such as these, as well as those of various mystical literatures, posit the idea that the barriers of the known self can be broken through, often repeatedly. Each of the novels to be studied here portrays a gap- or flaw-ridden self in the act of perpetuating and/or penetrating various forms of narrative and identity constructs. Each also features an encounter with what is other when these narrative and identity boundaries are breached. Reading about "mystical" occurrences of this nature challenges readers with the possibility that perceptions may be registered beyond the paradigms of the subject/object split. In this project, narrative fiction will be read in terms of its capacity to trigger a questioning of, and an expansion from within, systems of knowledge and identity, explicitly in terms of character and plot structure, and implicitly as a model for the reading self. The ability to observe and to respond to productive "gaps" or "flaws" in the stories of the self is a skill not only practiced by contemplatives and mystics, and by the characters in these novels, but by readers of imaginative fiction as well.
Developments in quasihydrodynamics

description: At its core, hydrodynamics is a many-body low-energy effective theory for the long-wavelength, long-timescale dynamics of conserved charges in systems close to thermodynamic equilibrium. It has a wide range of applications spanning from nuclear physics, astrophysics, cosmology, and more recently strongly-interacting electronic phases of matter. In solid-state systems, however, symmetries are often only approximate, and softly broken by the presence of the lattice, impurities, and defects, or because the symmetry is accidental. Therefore, the hydrodynamic regime must be expanded to include weak non-conservation effects, which lead to a theory known as quasihydrodynamics. In this thesis we make progress in understanding the theory of (quasi) hydrodynamics, with a specific focus on applications to condensed matter systems and their holographic description.

description: Sum frequency generation (SFG) has multiple applications, from optical sources to imaging, where efficient conversion requires either long interaction distances or large field concentrations in a quadratic nonlinear material. Metasurfaces provide an essential avenue to enhanced SFG due to resonance with extreme field enhancements with an integrated ultrathin platform. In this work, we formulate a general theoretical framework for multi-objective topology optimization of nanopatterned metasurfaces that facilitate high-efficiency SFG and simultaneously select the emitted direction and tailor the metasurface polarization response. Based on this framework, we present novel metasurface designs showcasing ultimate flexibility in transforming the outgoing nonlinearly generated light for applications spanning from imaging to polarimetry. For example, one of our metasurfaces produces highly polarized and directional SFG emission with an efficiency of over 0.2 cm^2/GW in a 10 nm signal operating bandwidth.

description: The future of centimetre and metre-wave astronomy lies with the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), a telescope under development by a consortium of 17 countries that will be 50 times more sensitive than any existing radio facility. Most of the key science for the SKA will be addressed through large-area imaging of the Universe at frequencies from a few hundred MHz to a few GHz. The Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) is a technology demonstrator aimed in the mid-frequency range, and achieves instantaneous wide-area imaging through the development and deployment of phased-array feed systems on parabolic reflectors. The large field-of-view makes ASKAP an unprecedented synoptic telescope that will make substantial advances in SKA key science. ASKAP will be located at the Murchison Radio Observatory in inland Western Australia, one of the most radio-quiet locations on the Earth and one of two sites selected by the international community as a potential location for the SKA. In this paper, we outline an ambitious science program for ASKAP, examining key science such as understanding the evolution, formation and population of galaxies including our own, understanding the magnetic Universe, revealing the transient radio sky and searching for gravitational waves.
Aqueous and isotope geochemistry of the Fly River, Papua New Guinea: Coupling of the water and carbon cycles in tropical rainforest biomes

description: Terrestrial moisture fluxes associated with plant growth represent one of the largest movements of mass and energy in the Earth's outer spheres, yet the relative contributions of abiotic water vapor fluxes and those that are regulated solely by the physiology of plants remains contentious and poorly constrained. Herein, based on the interpretation of the stable isotopes of water as tracers of evaporation, a methodology for partitioning total evaporation (ET) into its constituent fluxes is developed. This methodology enabled the separation of evaporation from soils and water bodies (Ed), canopy evaporation (I n), and plant transpiration (T) and was developed for the Fly River watershed (∼76,000 km2), situated in a rainforest-dominated region of central New Guinea and then subsequently applied to thirteen other watersheds in North America, South America, Africa, and Australia. Estimates of the annual water balances for the selected watersheds suggest that T is the dominant water vapor flux in 'water-limited' regions, comprising approximately 67% of ET and 55% of P. Moreover, these regional estimates of T co-vary with P in a manner similar to that observed for independent estimates of net primary productivity (NPP), suggesting that similar to small-scale measurements of plant water-use, water vapor and carbon dioxide fluxes are inherently coupled and the flux of water vapor to the atmosphere during photosynthesis is several orders of magnitude larger than the corresponding sequestration of atmospheric carbon. Similar estimates of a partitioned terrestrial water vapor flux are scarce beyond this study and hence the results are informative, emphasizing the inter-dependency between solar radiation and terrestrial processes and the considerable uncertainty that is currently associated with these aspects of the Earth system. Although admittedly first-order in scale, the estimates offer a broadly conceptual perspective on the dynamics of energy exchange between terrestrial systems and the atmosphere, whereby the terrestrial carbon cycle is essentially driven by solar energy via the water cycle intermediary. In order to constrain the sources of dissolved constituents in the Fly River watershed, additional data pertaining to the carbon isotope composition of dissolved carbon in river was collected. Monthly samples were collected for a period of two years and higher-resolution data was collected over a period of several weeks in 2007. These data suggested that the dissolution of carbonate minerals in the watershed were the predominant source of dissolved constituents and that constituents related to the dissolution of silicate minerals were negligible by comparison.

description: miR-128, a brain-enriched microRNA, has been implicated in the control of neurogenesis and synaptogenesis but its potential roles in intervening processes have not been addressed. We show that post-transcriptional mechanisms restrict miR-128 accumulation to post-mitotic neurons during mouse corticogenesis and in adult stem cell niches. Whereas premature miR-128 expression in progenitors for upper layer neurons leads to impaired neuronal migration and inappropriate branching, sponge-mediated inhibition results in overmigration. Within the upper layers, premature miR-128 expression reduces the complexity of dendritic arborization, associated with altered electrophysiological properties. We show that Phf6, a gene mutated in the cognitive disorder Börjeson-Forssman-Lehmann syndrome, is an important regulatory target for miR-128. Restoring PHF6 expression counteracts the deleterious effect of miR-128 on neuronal migration, outgrowth and intrinsic physiological properties. Our results place miR-128 upstream of PHF6 in a pathway vital for cortical lamination as well as for the development of neuronal morphology and intrinsic excitability.

description: We present a comprehensive analysis of the globular cluster (GC) system of the Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822. Our study is based on homogeneous optical and near-IR photometry, as well as long-slit spectroscopic observations which are used to determine new radial velocities for six GCs, two of which had no previous spectroscopic information. We construct optical-near-IR colour–colour diagrams and through comparison to simple stellar population models infer that the GCs have old ages consistent with being 9 Gyr or older, while their metallicities are in the range between −1.6 ≲ [Fe/H] ≲ −0.4. We conduct a kinematic analysis of the GC population and find tentative evidence for weak net rotation of the GC system, in the same sense as that exhibited by the underlying spheroid. The most likely amplitude of rotation is ≈10 km s−1, approximately half the magnitude of the observed velocity dispersion. Finally, we use the GCs to estimate the dynamical mass of NGC 6822 within ∼11 kpc and we formally find it to be in the range between (3 and 4) × 109 M⊙. This implies an overall mass-to-light ratio in the range of ∼30–40 and indicates that NGC 6822 is highly dark-matter-dominated. The mass and the corresponding mass-to-light ratio estimates are affected by various additional systematic effects due to limitations of the data and the model that are not necessary reflected in the formal uncertainties.

description: We report THz-pump / mid-infrared probe near-field studies on Si-doped GaAs-InGaAs core-shell nanowires utilizing THz radiation from the free-electron laser FELBE. Upon THz excitation of free carriers, we observe a red shift of the plasma resonance in both amplitude and phase spectra, which we attribute to the heating up of electrons in the conduction band. The simulation of heated electron distributions anticipates a significant electron population in both L- and X-valleys. The two-temperature model is utilized for a quantitative analysis of the dynamics of the electron gas temperature under THz pumping at various power levels.

A practical approach to measuring user engagement with the refined user engagement scale (UES) and new UES short form

description: User engagement (UE) and its measurement have been of increasing interest in human-computer interaction (HCI). The User Engagement Scale (UES) is one tool developed to measure UE, and has been used in a variety of digital domains. The original UES consisted of 31-items and purported to measure six dimensions of engagement: aesthetic appeal, focused attention, novelty, perceived usability, felt involvement, and endurability. A recent synthesis of the literature questioned the original six-factors. Further, the ways in which the UES has been implemented in studies suggests there may be a need for a briefer version of the questionnaire and more effective documentation to guide its use and analysis. This research investigated and verified a four-factor structure of the UES and proposed a Short Form (SF). We employed contemporary statistical tools that were unavailable during the UES ’development to re-analyze the original data, consisting of 427 and 779 valid responses across two studies, and examined new data (N = 344) gathered as part of a three-year digital library project. In this paper we detail our analyses, present a revised long and short form (SF) version of the UES, and offer guidance for researchers interested in adopting the UES and UES-SF in their own studies.
Barroco cuántico. Trascendencia barrosa y obsesión barroca
Creators: name: Colín Moreno, Carlos
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: This research examines a perspective of Baroque in the 20th and 21st century. The thesis is that Baroque is more than an artistic style in the 17th century, or that it simply appears in moments of crisis. It can be understood that the appearance of Baroque as an irregular pearl covers its true manifestation, which is formed by a group of minerals known as amphiboles and, hence, its ambiguous structure. Making an analogy between Baroque and theoretical physics, it seeks to find the modus operandi of Baroque as a system of mechanisms that operate as morbid phenomena within culture, politics, art, religion and society. Baroque exists as a series of expanded fields that allow the control and manipulation of the social ethos, and through an analysis of it, an attempt is made to find emancipatory solutions that seek the liberation from a neocolonial, tecno-feudal, and imperialist apparatus in our global era.

description: This quantitative/empirical study explored the connection between ambidextrous leadership, entrepreneurial orientation (EO), organisational innovation, and firm performance in Australian small and medium enterprises (SMEs) focused on sustainability. The research examined these variables in SMEs with 5 to 199 employees and over five years of operation across various private sectors. Data from 344 owners and managers were collected through questionnaires. The findings indicate that organisational innovation contributes to SMEs' improved performance and long-term sustainability. Additionally, EO influences organisational innovation, indirectly impacting firm performance through its mediating role. However, ambidextrous leadership did not directly affect EO or organisational innovation through the mediation of EO.

description: The main purpose of this thesis was to identify the changes that occur in m vim mammalian lipid metabolism during long-term fasting, arousal from hibernation, and following leptin treatment. Rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and woodchucks (Marmota monax) were fasted for one and two weeks, respectively, at room temperature and during different seasons. Woodchucks fasted in the summer lowered their energy expenditure and protein oxidation as soon as the fast was initiated. The woodchucks fasting in the spring did not, as their metabolic rate and protein utilization were already low, probably because in the wild they fast for extended periods of time following their final arousal from hibernation in the spring. The rabbits also exhibited metabolic depression and protein sparing with fasting although they used more protein and less lipid than the woodchucks. Using the continuous infusion method rates of triacylglycerol (TAG) hydrolysis (lipolysis), fatty acid (FA) mobilization and FA reesterification were measured on woodchucks that had just aroused from three months of hibernation. The contribution of TAGIFA substrate cycling to their total energy expenditure was extremely high (17%) Also, thermogenesis by this substrate cycle decreased the longer an animal had been aroused from hibernation, suggesting that this substrate cycle may be an important source of beat during arousal. Due to the high TAGIFA cycling rates, their lipolytic rate was also extremely high. Using the same methods, temporal changes in the rates of FA reesterification, lipolysis and lipid mobilization were measured in fasting rabbits. Their rates of lipolysis and FA mobilization initially doubled however, in the fix was prolonged, those rates decreased to pre-fasting levels. The metabolic depression induced by fasting probably accounted for the changes as less substrate was required for beta-oxidation. Reduced TAG/FA substrate cycling with long-term fasting accounted for a small amount of this metabolic depression (3%). The effects of leptin on TAG/FA recycling, lipolysis and FA mobilization were also investigated. In vivo leptin treatment caused significant increases in lipolytic rates and FA mobilization, and increased the relative contribution of lipid to the rabbit's total energy expenditure. The cycling rate of the TAG/FA substrate cycle was stimulated by leptin, contributing to 15% of the leptin-induced increase in energy expenditure. This showed that substrate cycling activation is a potent mechanism by which leptin can increase, metabolic thermogenesis.
title: Contextual Challenges for Application of the Minimum Standards in Education for Emergencies

description: Education in emergencies is a necessity that can be both life sustaining and life saving To this end, the development of the Minimum Standards in Education for Emergencies, Chronic Crisis and Early Reconstruction (MSEE) is an expression of commitment by major stakeholders that all individuals in crisis situations deserve quality education. While development of the MSEE is a commendable effort towards addressing issues of access, quality and accountability in program implementation, achievement of the standards is contingent on factors that are far more complex and beyond the capacity and control of agencies. This analytic study questions the fundamental assumptions that guided the development of the minimum standards and asserts that the adoption of a one-size-fits-all strategy ignominiously ignores contextual differences and complexities in the field. The study cites factors such as the dynamics and specificities of each crisis, differences in the demand and availability of resources and the existence of multiple institutional players as major challenges. Drawing on evidence from the field and the author's experience implementing and coordinating emergency education projects with UNICEF in Sierra Leone, this study highlights some of the challenges that are likely to hinder operationalization of the MSEE as a quasipolicy instrument. It concludes that while the MSEE may be relevant and indeed a desirable goal, it is prescriptive and far too ambitious and unrealistic. Thus the achievement of the 19 minimum standards and 109 indicators may not be practicable and attainable in most contexts given the already fragile nature of institutions and systems in such countries and the resource limitations. Finally, the author proposes actions to operationalize the MSEE at the field level, including increased advocacy for recognition of emergency education as a legitimate humanitarian activity for increased donor funding. The study also recommends the establishment of country-level and project level mechanisms and support for capacity building of government institutions to lead. These actions are critical for an improvement in education delivery in general and more specifically if the MSEE should serve its purpose of contributing to an improvement in learning outcomes at the classroom level.

description: The SS-HORSE-NCSM method is generalized to the case of democratic decay into an odd number of fragments. This method is applied to the search for resonances in three-neutron system (trineutron) using ab initio No-Core Shell Model calculations with realistic nucleon-nucleon potentials. The $3/2^-$ and $1/2^-$ strongly overlapping resonances are predicted when softened $NN$ interactions are used and are preferred over the case where bare $NN$ interactions of the chiral effective field theory are used with no resonance obtained.

description: This thesis deals with the role of patents in the transfer of technology and industrialization of developing countries, with a special focus on the role of pharmaceutical patents and the development of the pharmaceutical industry. In particular, this thesis examines the working of patents and the compulsory licensing system in the case of non-working as well as the compulsory licensing system for pharmaceuticals from the perspective of the Paris Convention and the national patent laws. The following problems are addressed: (1) Whether and under what conditions patents facilitate or hinder access to technology and how they can be made to facilitate access of technology to developing countries in particular in the pharmaceutical sector. (2) Whether the obligation to work the patent and the sanctions that are provided when the patent is not being worked, i.e., compulsory licence and revocation, are adequate and effective in promoting the interests of developing countries for industrialization and (3) Whether compulsory licences can be applied in the interest of public health under different circumstances and if they would help the development of the pharmaceutical industry and the transfer of pharmaceutical technology. These problems will be viewed from the perspective of the international system of patent protection as it is embodied in Article 5A of the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property and as it interacts with the various national patent laws of member countries.

description: Variable x-ray and γ-ray emission is characteristic of the most extreme physical processes in the universe. We present multiwavelength observations of a unique γ-ray selected transient, detected by the Swift satellite and accompanied by bright emission across the electromagnetic spectrum, and whose properties are unlike any previously observed source. We pinpoint the event to the center of a small, star-forming galaxy at redshift z = 0.3534. Its high-energy emission has lasted much longer than any gamma-ray burst, while its peak luminosity was ∼100 times higher than bright active galactic nuclei. The association of the outburst with the center of its host galaxy suggests that this phenomenon has its origin in a rare mechanism involving the massive black hole in the nucleus of that galaxy.

description: Galunisertib, a Transforming growth factor-βRI (TGF-βRI) kinase inhibitor, blocks TGF-β-mediated tumor growth in glioblastoma. In a three-arm study of galunisertib (300 mg/day) monotherapy (intermittent dosing; each cycle =14 days on/14 days off), lomustine monotherapy, and galunisertib plus lomustine therapy, baseline tumor tissue was evaluated to identify markers associated with tumor stage (e.g., histopathology, Ki67, glial fibrillary acidic protein) and TGF-β-related signaling (e.g., pSMAD2). Other pharmacodynamic assessments included chemokine, cytokine, and T cell subsets alterations. 158 patients were randomized to galunisertib plus lomustine (n = 79), galunisertib (n = 39) and placebo+lomustine (n = 40). In 127 of these patients, tissue was adequate for central pathology review and biomarker work. Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH1) negative glioblastoma patients with baseline pSMAD2+ in cytoplasm had median overall survival (OS) 9.5 months vs. 6.9 months for patients with no tumor pSMAD2 expression (p = 0.4574). Eight patients were IDH1 R132H+ and had a median OS of 10.4 months compared to 6.9 months for patients with negative IDH1 R132H (p = 0.5452). IDH1 status was associated with numerically higher plasma macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC/CCL22), higher whole blood FOXP3, and reduced tumor CD3+ T cell counts. Compared to the baseline, treatment with galunisertib monotherapy preserved CD4+ T cell counts, eosinophils, lymphocytes, and the CD4/CD8 ratio. The T-regulatory cell compartment was associated with better OS with MDC/CCL22 as a prominent prognostic marker. View Full-Text
