description: Aims. We report new VLBA polarimetric observations of the compact steep-spectrum (CSS) quasar 3C147 (B0538+498) at 5 and 8.4GHz. Methods. By using multifrequency VLBA observations, we derived milliarcsecond-resolution images of the total intensity, polarisation, and rotation measure distributions, by combining our new observations with archival data. Results. The source shows a one-sided structure, with a compact region, and a component extending about 200 mas to the south-west. The compact region is resolved into two main components with polarised emission, a complex rotation measure distribution, and a magnetic field dominated by components perpendicular to the source axis. Conclusions. By considering all the available data, we examine the possible location of the core component, and discuss two possible interpretations of the observed structure of this source: core-jet and lobe-hot spot. Further observations to unambiguously determine the location of the core would help distinguish between the two possibilities discussed here.

description: With the introduction of Boer and Kiko breeds for meat goat production in the United States, more emphasis is being placed on the reproductive management to increase the number of offspring born and weaned and the frequency with which they are produced. It is also desirable to produce out of season kids to take advantage of a market premium for milk and meat. Reproductive manipulations, commercial Artificial Insemination (AI) programs using fresh or frozen semen, and Embryo Transfer (ET) have been developed and are in use most commonly in goats for reproductive efficiency.

description: Reproductive efficiency impacts pregnancy rates, kidding/lambing frequency and number of offspring available for market each year. To enhance reproductive performance, consider breed, selection, nutrition and health, and understand basic female and male reproduction. Proper ration formulation and feeding promotes reproductive function and leads to more offspring. Selecting the highest performing females while culling unproductive does increases reproductive rates. Diseases affect the reproduction and survival of kids, so adopting disease prevention strategies including routine vaccinations and deworming protocols that promote good herd health is necessary. Understanding male and female reproduction are critical in managing puberty, minimizing the effects of seasonality on reproduction, and using advanced reproductive techniques for genetic improvement. All breeding males should be evaluated by conducting a standard breeding soundness exam that also evaluates libido/sex drive. In considering these factors, enhanced reproductive performance can be achieved; thus, optimizing production and promoting profitability.

Some physical chemical and histological characteristics of ripening bananas
Creators: name: Charles, Ronald John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A study of changes in bananas during ripening at 16 ± 1°C and 25 ± 1°C is described. Peel color was evaluated subjectively and by reflectance spectrophotometry; rheological properties by parallel plate compression and viscometry; selected chemical properties by appropriate tests and histochemical and histological properties by light microscopy. The rate of peel color change at the higher temperature was roughly twice that at the lower. Higher temperature-ripened fruits did not develop a full yellow color due to chlorophyll retention in the peel. Also pulp-to-peel ratio for such fruits tended to be lower than that of fruits ripened at the lower temperature. The pulp of high temperature-ripened fruits became progressively softer and was reflected by a linear increase of deformation under 1 kg force. For a given peel color index, maximum force and linear limit of the tissue as well as a power-law consistency coefficient of the puree were generally lower during ripening at the higher temperature. Reducing sugars increased linearly throughout ripening at the higher temperature while at the lower temperature the reducing sugar content was essentially constant beyond color index 6. On the basis of peel color index, total sugar and moisture content were higher while starch and AIS levels were lower in fruits ripened at the higher temperature. Ripening temperature therefore influences the relations of color index to mechanical and chemical properties. Ripening was characterized by a gradual loss of rigidity as well as an apparent thickening of the cell wall in over-ripe pulp tissue. Tannins decreased during ripening but did not disappear completely. Esterified pectins were not detected in hard green fruit; however, substantial amounts appeared at peel color index 3, then decreased steadily during ripening. Peel color was the best overall index of stage of ripeness for both ripening temperatures. Although rheological and chemical properties at a given color index differed for the two ripening temperatures, these intercorrelations remained higher (P ≤ 0.01). It is recommended, that ripening temperatures be taken into account when the color index chart is used to estimate the stage of ripeness of bananas.

description: We present Keck LGS AO imaging and aperture masking observations of the M8+L7 binary LHS 2397aAB. Together with archival HST, Gemini-North, and VLT data, our observations span 11.8 years of the binary's 14.2-year orbital period. We determine a total dynamical mass of 0.146+/-0.014 MSun (153+/-15 MJup). Using the combined observational constraints of the total mass and individual luminosities, the Tucson (Lyon) evolutionary models give an age for the system of 1.6 Gyr (1.8 Gyr), consistent with its space motion. We also use these models to determine the mass ratio, giving individual masses of 0.0839+/-0.0011 MSun (0.0848+/-0.0011 MSun) for LHS 2397aA and 0.061+/-0.013 MSun (0.060+/-0.010 MSun) for LHS 2397aB. Because LHS 2397aB is very close to the theoretical mass-limit of lithium burning, measuring its lithium depletion would uniquely test substellar models. We estimate a spectral type of L7+/-1 for LHS 2397aB, making it the first L/T transition object with a dynamical mass determination. This enables a precise estimate of its effective temperature from Tucson (Lyon) models of 1460+/-40 K (1440+/-40 K), which is 200 K higher than estimates for young late-L companions but consistent with older late-L field dwarfs, supporting the idea that the temperature of the L/T transition is surface gravity dependent. Comparing our temperature estimate for LHS 2397aB to those derived from spectral synthesis modeling for similar objects reveals consistency between evolutionary and atmospheric models at the L/T transition, despite the currently limited understanding of this phase of substellar evolution. Future dynamical masses for L/T binaries spanning a range of surface gravity and age will provide the next critical tests of substellar models at the L/T transition.

description: In the framework of the Inert Doublet Model, a very simple extension of the Standard Model, we study the production and propagation of antimatter in cosmic rays coming from annihilation of a scalar dark matter particle. We consider three benchmark candidates, all consistent with the WMAP cosmic abundance and existing direct detection experiments, and confront the predictions of the model with the recent PAMELA, ATIC and HESS data. For a light candidate, M_{DM} = 10 GeV, we argue that the positron and anti-proton fluxes may be large, but still consistent with expected backgrounds, unless there is an enhancement (boost factor) in the local density of dark matter. There is also a substantial anti-deuteron flux which might be observable by future experiments. For a candidate with M_{DM} = 70 GeV, the contribution to positron and anti-proton fluxes is much smaller than the expected backgrounds. Even if a boost factor is invoked to enhance the signals, the candidate is unable to explain the observed positron and anti-proton excesses. Finally, for a heavy candidate, M_{DM} = 10 TeV, it is possible to fit the PAMELA excess (but, unfortunately, not the ATIC one) provided there is a large enhancement, either in the local density of dark matter or through the Sommerfeld effect.

description: In this paper we systematically study the spectrum and structure of incompressible MHD turbulence by means of high resolution direct numerical simulations. We considered both balanced and imbalanced (cross-helical) cases and simulated sub-Alfvenic as well as trans-Alfvenic turbulence. This paper extends numerics preliminarily reported in Beresnyak & Lazarian (2008). We confirm that driven imbalanced turbulence has a stationary state even for high degrees of imbalance. Our major finding is that the structure of the dominant and subdominant Alfvenic components are notably different. Using the most robust observed quantities, such as the energy ratio, we were able to reject several existing models of strong imbalanced turbulence.

description: Engineering of Sport 15 - Proceedings from the 15th International Conference on the Engineering of Sport (ISEA 2024)
The application of technology in sports is rapidly expanding, with the latest innovations including the use of neural networks (NNs)to classify motions. Initial applications of NNs have been made across sports with activity-specific motions, such as volleyball, table tennis and tennis. The use of Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) is preferred due to the versatility of application to the body, testing location, and sampling rates. Class imbalance of data appears in sports involving ‘standard’ motions such as running and sprinting, alongside occasional execution movements, such as basketball shooting, requiring data augmentation. The aim of this work is to show the efficacy of these applied methods, with metrics of how well motions can be classified. This applies NNs for sporting movement classification in women’s tennis, to improve knowledge of frequency and magnitude of movements experienced on the female torso. This method can identify highload and frequent movements, to better inform sports bra design to improve comfort.
Flight behaviour elicited by electrical stimulation of the hypothalamus and midbrain in rats : Escape and avoidance properties
Creators: name: Clarke, Robert John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Emotional, motivational, or species-specific behaviour can be elicited by intracranial electrical stimulation (ICS) in unanesthetized and unrestrained animals with chronically implanted electrodes. The purpose of this investigation was to describe and quantify, using an escape and avoidance task, a behaviour called flight, using rats as the experimental animal. An enclosed test box was used that had a hole in one wall covered by a moveable clear plastic plate. With the interior light on and exterior lights off, the hole represented the only opening in the box. Flight was then operationally defined as plate-pushing in response to ICS (escape response). It was found that only 25% of rats which showed manifestations of flight on pre-test screening would perform the escape response. After establishing reliable escape, the rats were given the opportunity to avoid ICS, at the threshold voltage for escape, by responding to a signal (bell, light or click) predicting the occurrence of ICS. In over 200 trials there were at most only 10% avoidances and no tendency for faster responding. A current explanation for this, proposed by W. W. Roberts, was tested by allowing these rats to press a bar for brief ICS at the voltage used in avoidance. Only 40% of the subjects would self-stimulate. These, and other results from the literature suggest that rewarding onset of ICS, as in the Roberts hypothesis, is insufficient to explain the lack of avoidance. The electrode sites producing escape were found to be in the central gray of the midbrain, and in both the medial and lateral divisions of the middle to posterior hypothalamus near the fornix. The sites producing similar behavioural manifestations but not escape were found to be in the same regions of the hypothalamus and midbrain.

description: Over the two years of the M.F.A. course I propose to work on rituals and ritual costumes. Within this framework I intend to combine my knowledge of photographic and printmaking processes and my knowledge of fabrics and the sewing and designing of garments to produce a number of works on chosen aspects of rituals. In some cases the costume alone will be an adequate means of presenting the idea. Images printed onto the costume may be necessary, or the costume may require a wearer to perform certain actions within it resulting in a series of photo-etchings on the figure and the costume. Other ideas may require a three-dimensional space and sound resulting in a performance where body movements, costumes and documentation in the form of a series of photo-etchings play an important role. At this stage I prefer not to outline specific works until I begin work on each project. As a general rule, I write rough notes on work, planning several months ahead. On reading back over these notes I can see the development of some, over a series of weeks and months, from a set of vague ideas into a clear statement. Others may be important to the resulting work, yet are only a step along the way and have little value, as finished works as was first intended. Therefore, I propose to add to the section of my proposal on specific works when each idea is fully developed.

Redefining Eve Langley : Eve Langley and her editors
Creators: name: Vines, HMM
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis explores the relationship between Australian author Eve Langley (1904 - 1974) and her editors at the Sydney based publishing house Angus & Robertson. Since Langley was resident in Auckland, New Zealand from 1932 - 1960, the chief sustenance of this relationship was letter writing. The Eve Langley/Angus & Robertson correspondence archive, which was purchased by the Mitchell Library in 1977, contains 286 items, most of which involve Langley as author or recipient. The relationship began in 1940, with the acceptance for publication of Langley's first novel The Pea Pickers. The correspondence covers the period October 1941 to July 1975. The Angus & Robertson letters provide a chronology of Langley's writing practices, as well as biographical information that locates her activities more precisely than has previously been achieved. Close analysis of this correspondence has not been done before, despite its obvious importance as primary source material. Other material has been drawn upon to clarify or supplement the information provided in the letters. Langley wrote literally millions of words about her life, describing experiences, feelings and activities, yet despite this, its veracity - and probity - is the subject of intense speculation. This has in part come about through the writing of a rather problematic biography, The Importance of Being Eve Langley, by Joy Thwaite. The biography argues that Langley suffered from psychiatric and personality disorders which led inevitably to a decline in her creative powers and an inability to lead a meaningful life. The biographer's methodology, in which the unpublished autobiographical novels are treated as a transparent window onto the life, created a confusing - and arguably inaccurate - profile of Langley's life and work. By way of contrast, the letters Langley sent to her editors had a professional purpose, and provide another perspective to Langley's life over a period of nearly thirty years. These letters tell us about the aspirations and activities of Eve Langley during this period, and the editorial process followed by Australia's foremost editors. It also provides an opportunity to reconstruct what is known and understood of this most interesting of Australian writers.

Myrdal, the state and political development
Creators: name: Winterford, David B.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: A discussion and analysis is offered of Gunnar Myrdal's contributions to the theory of political development. Attention is focused on his conception of the role of the state as an agent of development. The paper is divided into two parts. Part I is concerned with the development of the state in the advanced welfare democracies of the West. We find that this development both affects and is affected by the emergence of an organized institutional infrastructure. We discuss the political development of the West --the development of a strong, capable, and effective state --in terms of the liberal interlude, the organization of markets, the spread of equality and the emergence of the "welfare state" as an "organizational state." We find that Myrdal seriously underestimates the critical requisites for an effective yet democratic "organizational state." Part II discusses Myrdal's application of his model of development to the underdeveloped world. Here we find that Myrdal is ideologically compatible with those elites who stipulate that the state must be the main agent of development. Yet through a discussion of the "modernization ideals" of socialism, political democracy and state planning as well as the exigencies of corruption and personal insecurity we do not find an organized institutional infrastructure underpinning the strong, capable, and effective state. Rather we find the "soft-state." For what we characterize as rational political reasons the "soft-state" is marked by low citizen obedience and few obligations placed on the citizens by the political leaders. We argue that this is intimately related to the low degree of equality between individuals and groups. In fact, since so many receive so little from the outputs of state activity, the state is unable to enforce a network of citizen obligations. We find that the "soft-state" is characterized by two things: ambivalence among the elites; and, stability of the system. Yet this stability is a stability of stagnation not development .On the basis of Myrdal's discussion of the agricultural sector we suggest that the only way the "soft-state" will be hardened into a more capable state is through a selective retrenchment of state activities. It would appear that the underdeveloped world would profit from a liberal interlude of reduced state activities. Moreover, by giving encouragement to those groups in society who are less bound by convention and who do not have a vested interest in the status quo, (e.g. the progressive agriculturalists), it may be possible to secure political development, that is, the development of an organized institutional infrastructure, making for a strong, capable, and effective state.
HCN emission from the HII regions G75.78+0.34 and G75.77+0.34

description: We present images for the 3.5 mm continuum and HCN(J=1-0) hyperfine line emission from the surroundings of the HII regions G75.78+0.34 and G75.77+0.34 obtained with the Berkeley Illinois Maryland Association (BIMA) interferometer using the D configuration at a spatial resolution of 18 arcsec and spectral sampling of 0.34 km/s. The continuum emission of both objects is dominated by free-free emission from the ionized gas surrounding the exciting stars. Dust emission may contribute only a small fraction of the 3.5 mm continuum from G75.78+0.34 and is negligible for G75.77+0.34. The high spectral resolution reached by BIMA allowed us to separate the emission from each hyperfine transition (F=1-1, F=2-1 and F=0-1), as well as to construct velocity channel maps along each emission-line profile. The HCN flux distributions are similar to those observed for the CO emission, but with some knots of high intensities indicating that the HCN traces high density clouds not seen in CO. The HCN hyperfine line ratios for both HII regions differ from those predicted theoretically for Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium (LTE), probably due to scattering of radiation processes. The velocity channels shows that the HCN emission of G75.78+0.34 follows the bipolar molecular outflows previously observed in CO. For G75.77+0.34, the outflowing gas contributes only a small fraction of the HCN emission.

description: Scaling laws and universality are often associated with systems exhibiting emergent phenomena possessing a characteristic energy scale. We report nonequilibrium transport measurements on two different types of single-molecule transistor (SMT) devices in the Kondo regime. The conductance at low bias and temperature adheres to a scaling function characterized by two parameters. This result, analogous to that reported recently in semiconductor dots with Kondo temperatures two orders of magnitude lower, demonstrates the universality of this scaling form. We compare the extracted values of the scaling coefficients to previous experimental and theoretical results.

description: Body composition (fat, skeletal muscle and bone mass) is an important determinant of overall health and risk of endocrine disorders such as type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis. Although diet and physical activity are strongly implicated, body composition is also heritable. We conducted a discovery genome-wide association study on 31 phenotypes from the three-compartment body composition model (fat, lean and bone mass) in a set of 4 386 individuals (n = 2 109 males, n = 2 294 females) from the UK Biobank pilot imaging enhancement program that underwent a dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan for assessment of body composition and genetic screening. From 6 137 607 imputed single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) we identified 17 body composition loci (P<5.0 x 10-8). GWAS from the combined dataset identified four statistically significant SNPs (rs7592270, rs145972737, rs13212044, rs77772562). In sex-stratified GWAS, 10 male specific SNPs across all traits were identified and five female specific SNPs. Of the 17 SNPs, six were in or close to a gene where there was a plausible functional connection. Three SNPs (rs7592270, rs77772562 and rs7552312) were correlated with obesity phenotypes, one SNP (rs2236705) with lean phenotypes and two with bone mass phenotypes (rs112098641 and rs113380185). These results highlight candidate genes and biological pathways related to body composition, including glucose metabolism and estrogen regulation, that are of interest to replicate in future studies.
