Green-tree-retention harvesting as a tool to maintain soil microbial diversity and function in harvested sites
Creators: name: Churchland, Carolyn Trelawny
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Green-tree or variable-retention harvesting is increasingly being used in the Pacific Northwest due to the perceived benefits to aboveground biodiversity. Little research has been conducted on the value of this harvesting practice for soil organisms, though retained live trees on harvested sites are thought to benefit belowground biodiversity by acting as “hubs” of both species-specific and symbiotic microbial communities. Access to these communities may be necessary for seedling growth and forest regeneration after harvest. Live trees support microbial communities by maintaining a constant source of labile carbon through litter and root exudates. The aim of this thesis dissertation project was to trace the flow of carbon from live trees retained on clear-cut sites in different variable-retention harvesting regimes into the soil microbial community to determine which variable-harvesting regime best maintained pre-harvest soil microbial communities and soil microbial function. Two variable-retention strategies were compared: aggregate-retention, where intact forest patches are retained, and dispersed-retention, where individual trees are retained across the site. Both harvesting strategies decreased the fungal to bacterial ratio although the dispersed-retention harvesting treatment mitigated the effects of harvesting on soil nutrient availability. Aggregate-retention harvesting, even within 9 meters of the retention patch, did not appear to influence nutrient availability, but evidence suggested the microbial community within this area was supported by recent plant-carbon. Through analysis of stable-isotope natural abundance and application of a novel stable-isotope labeling stem-injection technique, I was able to discern that individual trees support the fungal community up to 20 meters into a clear-cut. However, the lack of recently-derived labile plant carbon in clear-cuts resulted in changes to soil carbon-cycling. The microbial community in clear-cut sites appeared to rely on tightly recycled labile microbial-derived carbon that was probably released during microbial turnover, rather than dissolved organic carbon. In the highly disturbed clear-cut areas, the microbial communities may have lost some of their ability to break down recalcitrant soil organic matter. Both variable-retention strategies investigated affected soil microbial community composition; though it appeared that dispersed-retention best maintained microbial community function on harvested sites.

A National Blessing: Debt and Public Credit in the Atlantic Foundation of the United States of America

Subjects: American Revolution; American State; Public Debt; National Bank; Capitalism

description: In the premises, the author analyses how the different historiographical trends concerning the Atlantic world have reduced the centrality of the State, and recent researches which focused on the processes of State-building and on the financial revolutions between the Seventeenth and the Nineteenth centuries. Within this frame, the essay outlines an Atlantic history of the foundation of the U.S. through a reading of the Report on Public Credit (1782) of Robert Morris, Superintendent of Finances, and some writings of Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of the Treasury.
The author argues that the institution of public debt and the foundation of the national bank constituted an adequate response not only to the need of State which characterized European history, but also to the capitalistic practices which marked European economies. The author underlines the continuity between the processes of State-building and the transition to capitalism in Europe and America in the age of the democratic revolutions.
description: Dopo aver mostrato come le diverse correnti storiografiche sul mondo atlantico abbiano ridimensionato la centralità dello Stato, e alla luce di recenti ricerche che hanno riportato l’attenzione sui processi di state-building e sulle financial revolution fra Seicento e Ottocento, l’articolo delinea una storia atlantica della fondazione degli Stati Uniti d’America analizzando il Report on Public Credit (1782) del Sovrintendente delle Finanze, Robert Morris, e alcuni scritti del Segretario del Tesoro, Alexander Hamilton. L’autore argomenta che l’istituzione del debito pubblico e la fondazione della banca nazionale costituirono una risposta adeguata non solo al bisogno di Stato che contraddistingueva la storia europea, ma anche alle pratiche economiche di stampo capitalistico che segnavano le economie europee. Viene così evidenziata la continuità dei processi di state-building e transizione al capitalismo fra Europa e America nell’epoca delle rivoluzioni democratiche.

description: This article focuses on the concrete and symbolic process of construction, self-identification and self-presentation of U.S.-America as a “material” nation, a self-identification elaborated, albeit seldom by using this term, through the emphasis on its “exceptional” system of production, distribution, and consumption between the turn of the century and the immediate aftermath of WWI. It weaves together three, so far separate, streams of research such as the one on the American system of manufacturing, that on the emergence of modern patterns of distribution and consumption, and the literature on the sustained efforts at “exporting” abroad the “American dream”. It charts the evolution of the business practices and of the rhetoric used to forge the notion of “material nation,” the actors involved, the implications this had for the process of real and imagined nation-making and for the different social and cultural segments comprising the nation.
description: L’articolo ha per oggetto il processo concreto e simbolico di costruzione reale e di proiezione identificativa degli Stati Uniti come “nazione materiale”, un processo elaborato, anche se raramente con l’uso di questo termine, attraverso l’enfasi sull’ “eccezionale” sistema di produzione, distribuzione e consumo fra la fine dell’Ottocento e l’immediato dopoguerra mondiale. L’articolo unisce tre aree di ricerca, fino a questo momento separate, quali le indagini sul cosiddetto “American system of manufacturing”, l’emergente letteratura sui moderni sistemi di distribuzione e consumo, e la letteratura sugli sforzi di “esportare” all’estero il “sogno americano”. Il saggio ricostruisce l’evoluzione della pratiche d’affari e della retorica usata per forgiare la nozione di “nazione materiale”, gli attori coinvolti e le implicazioni che il processo ebbe per i diversi segmenti sociali e culturali che formavano la nazione.

description: In 1980, Furio Jesi admitted that he agreed with Swift's Gulliver, who regarded himself almost like a "houyhnhnm", one of the intelligent horses he met during his travels. Cavalletti's essay introduces this Dossierabout Jesi by tracing the secret symmetry between the mythologist, the Jew, the passionate reader of Kafka. These multiple personification of Jesi allows to reach a level of writing which is not only characterized by a historical and learned research, but also involves a personal, intimate and biographical dimension. Thus, the subject matter of Jesi's research provides the opportunity for a narrative which is also a research of the self.
description: Furio Jesi confessa nel 1980 di condividere la sensazione del Gulliver di Swift, che sente di essere diventato «quasi un houyhnhnm», simile cioè ai cavalli intelligenti che ha incontrato. Il saggio di Cavalletti introduce questo Dossier Jesi, tracciando la segreta simmetria, tra lo Jesi mitologo, ebreo e lettore partecipe di Kafka. Tutte queste diverse personificazioni consentono di attingere un piano della scrittura che non è segnato solamente dalla ricerca storica ed erudita, ma impone di attraversare un piano personale e necessariamente intimo e biografico. La stessa materia della ricerca di Jesi diviene così occasione di una narrazione che è ricerca di sé e perciò racconto.

description: We study the scale-dependence of halo bias in generic (non-local) primordial non-Gaussian (PNG) initial conditions of the type motivated by inflation, parametrized by an arbitrary quadratic kernel. We first show how to generate non-local PNG initial conditions with minimal overhead compared to local PNG models for a general class of primordial bispectra that can be written as linear combinations of separable templates. We run cosmological simulations for the local, and non-local equilateral and orthogonal models and present results on the scale-dependence of halo bias. We also derive a general formula for the Fourier-space bias using the peak-background split (PBS) in the context of the excursion set approach to halos and discuss the difference and similarities with the known corresponding result from local bias models. Our PBS bias formula generalizes previous results in the literature to include non-Markovian effects and non-universality of the mass function and are in better agreement with measurements in numerical simulations than previous results for a variety of halo masses, redshifts and halo definitions. We also derive for the first time quadratic bias results for arbitrary non-local PNG, and show that non-linear bias loops give small corrections at large-scales. The resulting well-behaved perturbation theory paves the way to constrain non-local PNG from measurements of the power spectrum and bispectrum in galaxy redshift surveys.

description: Through a comment of the correspondence between Furio Jesi and Gershom Sholem, the author explores the tension between atheism and Judaism that, according to the same Jesi, characterized his own research. His studies on the myth and the mystique and the mediation of Scholem did not only allow Jesi to get on top of his own biography of "half Jew". Being nameless and hidden, the God of the Jews seems also to legitimize and justify Jesi's attempt to develop his research on religious beliefs without assuming the existence of a god.
description: Commentando le lettere tra Furio Jesi e Gershom Sholem, Lucca indaga la tensione tra ateismo ed ebraismo che, secondo lo stesso Jesi, attraversa la sua ricerca. Gli studi sul mito e la mistica, la mediazione di Scholem, non servono a Jesi solo per venire a capo della propria biografia di «mezzo ebreo». Il Dio degli ebrei, il suo essere innominabile e nascosto, gli sembra ciò che potrebbe legittimare e motivare la sua ricerca sulle credenze religiose senza presupporre un dio.

description: We propose a first-principles scheme for the description of the magneto-optical kerr effect within density functional theory (DFT). Though the computation of Kerr parameters is often done within DFT, starting from the conductivity or the dielectric tensor, there is no formal justification to this choice. As a first steps, using as reference materials iron, cobalt and nickel we show that pseudo-potential based calculations give accurate predictions. Then we derive a formal expression for the full dielectric tensor in terms of the density-density correlation function. The derived equation is exact in systems with an electronic gap, with the possible exception of Chern insulators, and whenever the time reversal symmetry holds and can be used as a starting point for the inclusion of local fields and excitonic effects within time-dependent DFT for such systems. In case of metals instead we show that, starting from the density-density correlation function, the term which describes the anomalous Hall effect is neglected giving a wrong conductivity.

description: We asked a series of questions to Monica Cioli and David Rifkind, authors of two important books which focus on the process that enabled art and architecture to acquire a specific political meaning under fascism. The outcome is a dialogue that shows how the relationship between fascism and art is not characterized by a mere appropriation or a mutually functional exploitation between the artist or the architect and the fascist regime. Art prepares a specific appropriation of technology and serves to introduce the political anthropology of the fascist man. Similarly, architecture establishes an organization of urban spaces coherent and necessary to the hierarchical order of the corporatist society.

L’arte prepara un’appropriazione specifica della tecnica e introduce all’antropologia politica dell’uomo fascista. Allo stesso modo l’architettura appronta un ordinamento degli spazi urbani coerente e necessaria per la gerarchia dell’ordine della società corporata.

Convergence analysis of the Gibbs sampler for Bayesian general linear mixed models with improper priors

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)

description: Bayesian analysis of data from the general linear mixed model is challenging because any nontrivial prior leads to an intractable posterior density. However, if a conditionally conjugate prior density is adopted, then there is a simple Gibbs sampler that can be employed to explore the posterior density. A popular default among the conditionally conjugate priors is an improper prior that takes a product form with a flat prior on the regression parameter, and so-called power priors on each of the variance components. In this paper, a convergence rate analysis of the corresponding Gibbs sampler is undertaken. The main result is a simple, easily-checked sufficient condition for geometric ergodicity of the Gibbs-Markov chain. This result is close to the best possible result in the sense that the sufficient condition is only slightly stronger than what is required to ensure posterior propriety. The theory developed in this paper is extremely important from a practical standpoint because it guarantees the existence of central limit theorems that allow for the computation of valid asymptotic standard errors for the estimates computed using the Gibbs sampler.

Hydrodynamical Simulations to Determine the Feeding Rate of Black Holes by the Tidal Disruption of Stars: The Importance of the Impact Parameter and Stellar Structure

description: The disruption of stars by supermassive black holes has been linked to more than a dozen flares in the cores of galaxies out to redshift $z \sim 0.4$. Modeling these flares properly requires a prediction of the rate of mass return to the black hole after a disruption. Through hydrodynamical simulation, we show that aside from the full disruption of a solar mass star at the exact limit where the star is destroyed, the common assumptions used to estimate $\dot{M}(t)$, the rate of mass return to the black hole, are largely invalid. While the analytical approximation to tidal disruption predicts that the least-centrally concentrated stars and the deepest encounters should have more quickly-peaked flares, we find that the most-centrally concentrated stars have the quickest-peaking flares, and the trend between the time of peak and the impact parameter for deeply-penetrating encounters reverses beyond the critical distance at which the star is completely destroyed. We also show that the most-centrally concentrated stars produced a characteristic drop in $\dot{M}(t)$ shortly after peak when a star is only partially disrupted, with the power law index $n$ being as extreme as -4 in the months immediately following the peak of a flare. Additionally, we find that $n$ asymptotes to $\simeq -2.2$ for both low- and high-mass stars for approximately half of all stellar disruptions. Both of these results are significantly steeper than the typically assumed $n = -5/3$. As these precipitous decay rates are only seen for events in which a stellar core survives the disruption, they can be used to determine if an observed tidal disruption flare produced a surviving remnant. These results should be taken into consideration when flares arising from tidal disruptions are modeled. [abridged]

description: The present contribution aims at defining the relation between cybernetics and social theory from the perspective of society as order. After an historical framework of the cybernetic movement, a careful reading of the works of Norbert Wiener, in which he introduced the concept of feed-back and the idea of information society, has revealed a keen awareness about the social effects of technological innovation. Among the social scientists who had made use of cybernetic concepts, it has been considered the work of Karl Deutsch, which was one of the first completely cybernetic perspective for the study of political and social phenomena. The main conclusion is that cybernetics, as a meeting point between different disciplines, has produced an image of self-regulated society in line with the image of society as order.
description: Il presente contributo mira a definire la relazione tra cibernetica e teoria sociale a partire dalla prospettiva della società come ordine. Dopo un inquadramento storico del movimento cibernetico, una lettura attenta ai lavori di Norbert Wiener, in cui ha introdotto il concetto di feed-back e l'idea di società dell'informazione, ha rivelato una viva consapevolezza degli effetti sociali dell'innovazione tecnologica. Tra gli scienziati sociali che hanno fatto uso dei concetti cibernetici, è stata presa in esame l'opera di Karl Deutsch, che è stata una delle prime prospettive compiutamente cibernetiche per lo studio dei fenomeni politici e sociali. La conclusione principale è che la cibernetica, come un punto di incontro tra diverse discipline, ha prodotto una immagine di società autoregolata in linea con l'immagine della società come ordine.

description: The eta-photon transition form factor is evaluated in a formalism based on a phenomenological description at low values of the photon virtuality, and a QCD-based description at high photon virtualities, matching at a scale $Q_{0}^{2}$. The high photon virtuality description makes use of a Distribution Amplitude calculated in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with Pauli-Villars regularization at the matching scale $Q_{0}^{2}$, and QCD evolution from $Q_{0}^{2}$ to higher values of $Q^{2}$. A good description of the available data is obtained. The analysis indicates that the recent data from the BaBar collaboration on pion and eta transition form factor can be well reproduced, if a small contribution of twist three at the matching scale $Q_{0}^{2}$ is included.

The role of surfactant protein d in atherosclerosis
Creators: name: Choi, Go Eun (Alex)
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Elevated concentrations of surfactant protein D (SP-D) in the serum have been associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. It is not known, however, whether this relationship is causal or an epiphenomenon of lung disease or inflammation. The primary purpose of this thesis was to investigate the effects of SP-D on atherosclerosis. The overarching hypothesis driving this study is that SP-D is pro-atherogenic by modulating plasma lipids and systemic inflammation. These studies will enable development of SP-D as a biomarker of atherosclerosis, ischemic heart disease, and stroke and determine whether SP-D can be a therapeutic target to reduce CVD. To address the hypothesis, SP-D-knockout (KO) mice were crossed with apolipoprotein E (ApoE)-KO mice to produce mice deficient in both SP-D and ApoE. These mice were fed a high fat diet (HFD) for twelve weeks. We then measured the size of atherosclerotic lesions in aorta, determined the lipid profile in the serum, and measured circulating inflammatory cytokines and white blood cell counts in mice. We also challenged SP-D-deficient mice with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which was microsprayed directly into the trachea. We then determined endothelial function of the descending aorta, 24 hours after the LPS challenge. We found that in the atherosclerotic plaque was significantly smaller in ApoE-KO mice lacking SP-D compared with apoE mice with intact SP-D. Absence of SP-D in the apo-E KO mice resulted in reduced levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and total cholesterols, and a marked attenuation of certain parameters of systemic inflammation including neutrophil to lymphocyte ratios (NLR) and interleukin (IL)-6 in serum. Deficiency of SP-D was also associated with improved endothelial function following intratracheal LPS challenge. Together, these findings indicate that SP-D plays an active role in modulating lipid profile and systemic inflammation and most importantly may enhance atherosclerosis and thus contribute directly to excess cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

description: This short text aims at exploring the dimensions that constitute our territories as social enterprises, that is enterprises of coexistence. The starting point is the idea of territories that we have in order to answer to specific problems related to the social coexistence itself. The text explains the type of problems involved and what territorial constitutions derive from them. Today, a territoriology as a science of territories cannot but begin from the realization that «territories are living». But with what lexicon, with what concepts and with which analytic instruments can we talk about our contemporary territories?

Il punto di partenza è l’idea che ci facciamo dei territori per tentare di rispondere a problemi specifici legati alla coesistenza sociale stessa. Il testo elucida di che tipo di problemi si tratti e quali costituzioni territoriali ne derivino. Oggi, una territoriologia in quanto scienza dei territori non può cominciare che dalla constatazione che «i territori vivono». Ma con quale lessico, con quali concetti e con quali strumenti analitici possiamo parlare dei nostri territori contemporanei?

description: In recent years there has been considerable interest in methods for diffeomorphic warping of images, with applications e.g.\ in medical imaging and evolutionary biology. The original work generally cited is that of the evolutionary biologist D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson, who demonstrated warps to deform images of one species into another. However, unlike the deformations in modern methods, which are drawn from the full set of diffeomorphism, he deliberately chose lower-dimensional sets of transformations, such as planar conformal mappings. In this paper we study warps of such conformal mappings. The approach is to equip the infinite dimensional manifold of conformal embeddings with a Riemannian metric, and then use the corresponding geodesic equation in order to obtain diffeomorphic warps. After deriving the geodesic equation, a numerical discretisation method is developed. Several examples of geodesic warps are then given. We also show that the equation admits totally geodesic solutions corresponding to scaling and translation, but not to affine transformations.

description: Transport processes on spatial networks are representative of a broad class of real world systems which, rather than being independent, are typically interdependent. We propose a measure of utility to capture key features that arise when such systems are coupled together. The coupling is defined in a way that is not solely topological, relying on both the distribution of sources and sinks, and the method of route assignment. Using a toy model, we explore relevant cases by simulation. For certain parameter values, a picture emerges of two regimes. The first occurs when the flows go from many sources to a small number of sinks. In this case, network utility is largest when the coupling is at its maximum and the average shortest path is minimized. The second regime arises when many sources correspond to many sinks. Here, the optimal coupling no longer corresponds to the minimum average shortest path, as the congestion of traffic must also be taken into account. More generally, results indicate that coupled spatial systems can give rise to behavior that relies subtly on the interplay between the coupling and randomness in the source-sink distribution.

Deterministic execution on GPU architectures

description: Nondeterminism is a key challenge in developing multithreaded applications. Even with the same input, each execution of a multithreaded program may produce a different output. This behavior complicates debugging and limits one’s ability to test for correctness. This non-reproducibility situation is aggravated on massively parallel architectures like graphics processing units (GPUs) with thousands of concurrent threads. We believe providing a deterministic environment to ease debugging and testing of GPU applications is essential to enable a broader class of software to use GPUs. Many hardware and software techniques have been proposed for providing determinism on general-purpose multi-core processors. However, these techniques are designed for small numbers of threads. Scaling them to thousands of threads on a GPU is a major challenge. Here we propose a scalable hardware mechanism, GPUDet, to provide determinism in GPU architectures. In this thesis we characterize the existing deterministic and nondeterministic aspects of current GPU execution models, and we use these observations to inform GPUDet’s design. For example, GPUDet leverages the inherent determinism of the SIMD hardware in GPUs to provide determinism within a wavefront at no cost. GPUDet also exploits the Z-Buffer Unit, an existing GPU hardware unit for graphics rendering, to allow parallel out-of-order memory writes to produce a deterministic output. Other optimizations in GPUDet include deterministic parallel execution of atomic operations and a workgroup-aware algorithm that eliminates unnecessary global synchronizations. Our simulation results indicate that GPUDet incurs only 2× slowdown on average over a baseline nondeterministic architecture, with runtime overheads as low as 4% for compute-bound applications, despite running GPU kernels with thousands of threads. We also characterize the sources of overhead for deterministic execution on GPUs to provide insights for further optimizations.
