description: Driving is a highly demanding task and modern cars employ a multitude of sensors and features to aid the driver. Safety can be increased by minimising visual distraction during driving and tactile feedback is often introduced as an alternative to, or an enhancement of, visual icons. Research on tactile in-car feedback is highly focused on vibrotactile feedback, restricting the design space by ignoring other tactile modalities with the potential to increase driving safety. Thermal feedback has been tested for mobile environments and shown high recognition accuracy, with the added advantage of causing potentially strong emotional associations with concepts, such as danger or urgency and familiarity. This thesis, therefore, explores the effectiveness of thermal feedback for in-car applications. The novelty of the feedback within this environment dictates the need to not only investigate the perceptability of this modality as a secondary task during driving, but also the impact of thermal feedback on driving behaviour and workload in a safe environment. Seven driving simulator studies tested different applications and aspects of thermal cues, such as directional cues, binary and in combination with spatial information, and different types of notifications. Results show the challenges and advantages of thermal cue design for presentation during driving and the effectiveness of the modality for navigation. Binary directional cues have high recognition rates, but face the challenge of the return to a neutral base temperature being misinterpreted as new cues. The number of these false positives was especially high for long thermal cues, which had the highest recognition rates. Design choices will have to be made in consideration of this fact. Spatial directional cues were effective, but the simultaneous presentation of cues with opposing direction of temperature change on each hand confused rather than aided the driver. In addition, the perceived urgency of thermal cues was compared to vibration and the two modalities were investigated together for informational notifications. Thermal cues were consistently rated as less urgent than both bimodal and vibrotactile cues. The addition of thermal feedback to urgent vibration cues led to longer reaction times, which renders bimodal tactile stimuli unsuited for urgent warnings. However, they could very accurately convey information to classify messages. Both thermal only and bimodal tactile stimuli had high recognition rates. While thermal feedback could not replace visual information during the transfer of control in a semi-autonomous car, the addition of bimodal tactile feedback led to an improvement of driving behaviour and was preferred by participants. These findings show the potential for thermal feedback within the driving environment.

description: Magneto-transport and drag measurements on a quasi-Corbino 2D electron bilayer at the systems total filling factor 1 (v_tot=1) reveal a drag voltage that is equal in magnitude to the drive voltage as soon as the two layers begin to form the expected v_tot=1 exciton condensate. The identity of both voltages remains present even at elevated temperatures of 0.25 K. The conductance in the current carrying layer vanishes only in the limit of strong coupling between the two layers and at T->0 K which suggests the presence of an excitonic circular current.

The political ecology of ethnicity : the case of the South Tyrol
Creators: name: Rossi, Pierre
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Unlike ethnies defined by genotype, religion or socio-cultural traits, ethno-linguistic groups require a structural basis that is territorial. Only in such a context can they exist and survive. The coexistence of three distinct ethno-linguistic groups - indigenous Germanophones and Ladins and recently-settled Italophones - in the South Tyrol is proof of this. This structural imperative stems from the societal changes of the last few centuries which made capitalist relations of production and statist institutions the dominant structural bases of social organization. The changes reshaped infrastructural mechanisms of social organization, their structured properties and the superstructural knowledge that guides human agency in instantiating such properties. The consequences for the South Tyrol and its peoples were their subordination to external centres. Under fascist rule this subordination created a bifurcated spatio-functional order which, under conditions of democratic rule and political autonomy, enabled the indigenous periphery or complementary region to assert its centrality vis-a-vis the territory's Italophone-controlled vital centre by using autonomous political institutions located in the same vital centre.

description: More UK dairy farmers are moving away from soya as a protein source for a range of reasons including consumer concerns about the environmental and social consequences of soya production in some exporting countries. This practice note discusses the suitability of faba bean (field bean) for the replacement of soya in dairy rations. The faba bean can be used for the protein enrichment of cereal-based concentrate feeds. The nutritional value of faba bean and whether it can maintain milk output and composition when replacing soya in milking cow rations is examined to support decisions around if and how to use faba bean for feeding dairy cows.

description: A review of oceanic data collection technologies reveals a predominant focus on upper ocean measurements. There is also a noticeable trend toward autonomous data collection. While traditional profilers are built for extreme pressures and are focused on deep ocean data, we focus on a buoyancy mechanism redesign that aims to create a cost-effective autonomous profiler tailored to the upper ocean. A lightweight and user-friendly upper ocean profiler called the Aurelia Upper Ocean Profiler (UOP), inspired by the Aurelia jellyfish genus, is developed to focus on the top 200 metres of ocean. The proposed buoyancy vehicle is simplified down to bare necessities to create an inexpensive and compact system. It regulates its depth by adjusting its density using an open piston pump and monitoring oceanic pressure differentials. The current design includes wireless communications, a scalable buoyancy engine, and an intuitive interface. The Aurelia UOP’s origins trace back to a 2016 Senior Capstone project led by the first author. In total, the work of five multidisciplinary undergraduate teams and two graduate theses culminated in the Aurelia UOP, a compact 4.5 kg device capable of reaching depths of 50 m. Designed for versatility, it can be programmed via an Android interface using Bluetooth, executing multi-command missions for drifting, profiling, and sensor readings based on user-specified time/depth intervals.

description: Image computation is a fundamental tool for performance assessment of astronomical instrumentation, usually implemented by Fourier transform techniques. We review the numerical implementation, evaluating a direct implementation of the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) algorithm, compared with fast Fourier transform (FFT) tools. Simulations show that the precision is quite comparable, but in the case investigated the computing performance is considerably higher for DFT than FFT. The application to image simulation for the mission Gaia and for Extremely Large Telescopes is discussed.

Cloud-based Bioinformatics Framework for Next-Generation Sequencing Data

Subjects: subject: 004

description: The increasing amount of next-generation sequencing data introduces a fundamental challenge on large scale genomic analytics. Storing and processing large amounts of sequencing data requires considerable hardware resources and efficient software that can fully utilize these resources. Nowadays, both industrial enterprises and nonprofit institutes are providing robust and easy-access cloud services for studies in life science. To facilitate genomic data analyses on such powerful computing resources, distributed bioinformatics tools are needed. However, most of existing tools have low scalability on the distributed computing cloud. Thus, in this thesis, I developed a cloud based bioinformatics framework that mainly addresses two computational challenges: (i) the run time intensive challenge in the sequence mapping process and (ii) the memory intensive challenge in the de novo genome assembly process.

 For sequence mapping, I have natively implemented an Apache Spark based distributed sequence mapping tool called Sparkhit. It uses the q-gram filter and Pigeonhole principle to accelerate the speeds of fragment recruitment and short read mapping processes. These algorithms are implemented in the Spark extended MapReduce model. Sparkhit runs 92–157 times faster than MetaSpark on metagenomic fragment recruitment and 18–32 times faster than Crossbow on data pre-processing.

 For de novo genome assembly, I have invented a new data structure called Reflexible Distributed K-mer (RDK) and natively implemented a distributed genome assembler called Reflexiv. Reflexiv is built on top of the Apache Spark platform, uses Spark Resilient Distributed Dataset (RDD) to distributed large amount of k-mers across the cluster and assembles the genome in a recursive way. As a result, Reflexiv runs 8-17 times faster than Ray assembler and 5-18 times faster than AbySS assembler on the clusters deployed at the de.NBI cloud.

 In addition, I have incorporated a variety of analytical methods into the framework. I have also developed a tool wrapper to distribute external tools and Docker containers on the Spark cluster. As a large scale genomic use case, my framework processed 100 terabytes of data across four genomic projects on the Amazon cloud in 21 hours. Furthermore, the application on the entire Human Microbiome Project shotgun sequencing data was completed in 2 hours, presenting an approach to easily associate large amounts of public datasets with reference data.

 Thus, my work contributes to the interdisciplinary research of life science and distributed cloud computing by improving existing methods with a new data structure, new algorithms, and robust distributed implementations.
Tachyon Vacuum in Cubic Superstring Field Theory

description: In this paper we give an exact analytic solution for tachyon condensation in the modified (picture 0) cubic superstring field theory. We prove the absence of cohomology and, crucially, reproduce the correct value for the D-brane tension. The solution is surprising for two reasons: First, the existence of a tachyon vacuum in this theory has not been definitively established in the level expansion. Second, the solution {\it vanishes} in the GSO$(-)$ sector, implying a ``tachyon vacuum'' solution exists even for a {\it BPS} D-brane.

description: Sir Philip Randle, who died aged 80 on 26 September 2006 after a brief illness, was one of the world's foremost researchers into mammalian metabolism. In a career spanning some five decades, he provided a series of brilliant insights into the fundamental mechanisms that determine the selection of metabolic fuels by muscle and other tissues. Many of his findings were concerned with the role of insulin, including the control of its secretion from the β-cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans, and with the regulation of glucose oxidation through changes in the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase. The ideas generated by his investigations laid the foundations for countless subsequent studies and have had a direct bearing on the understanding of diabetes. His lifelong enthusiasm for good research has had a great influence on all who worked with him.

description: Objective: Evaluate efficacy/safety of verinurad monotherapy in patients with gout (Japan/US) or asymptomatic hyperuricemia (Japan). Methods: Two randomized, placebo-controlled, phase II studies were conducted (NCT01927198/NCT02078219). Patients were randomized to once-daily doses of placebo or escalating doses of verinurad (study 1: 5–12.5 mg; study 2: 2.5–15 mg). Primary endpoint was percentage change from baseline in serum urate (sUA) at week 12 (study 1)/week 16 (study 2). Safety was also assessed. Results: Most patients in study 1 (n = 171) were white (74.9%); all patients were Japanese in study 2 (n = 204). Least squares means (±SE) estimate of percentage change in sUA levels from baseline in study 1 was 1.2 ± 2.9 for placebo, and –17.5 ± 2.8, –29.1 ± 2.8, –34.4 ± 2.9 for verinurad 5, 10, 12.5 mg, respectively. In study 2, results were –2.4 ± 2.5 and –31.7 ± 2.5, –51.7 ± 2.6,–55.8 ± 2.5, respectively. Difference from placebo was significant for each verinurad dose (p<.0001). The proportion of patients with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) was similar across all groups. Renal-related TEAEs were more common with verinurad than placebo. Conclusion: Verinurad monotherapy resulted in sustained reductions in sUA in Japanese/US patients but renal AEs occurred, so verinurad alone is not recommended for treatment of hyperuricemia or gout. The renal consequences of excessive uric acid excretion deserve study.

description: We observed 69 A3-F8 main sequence binary star systems using the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer onboard the Spitzer Space Telescope. We find emission significantly in excess of predicted photospheric flux levels for 9(+4/-3)% and 40(+7/-6)% of these systems at 24 and 70 microns, respectively. Twenty two systems total have excess emission, including four systems that show excess emission at both wavelengths. A very large fraction (nearly 60%) of observed binary systems with small (<3 AU) separations have excess thermal mission. We interpret the observed infrared excesses as thermal emission from dust produced by collisions in planetesimal belts. The incidence of debris disks around main sequence A3-F8 binaries is marginally higher than that for single old AFGK stars. Whatever combination of nature (birth conditions of binary systems) and nurture (interactions between the two stars) drives the evolution of debris disks in binary systems, it is clear that planetesimal formation is not inhibited to any great degree. We model these dust disks through fitting the spectral energy distributions and derive typical dust temperatures in the range 100--200 K and typical fractional luminosities around 10^-5, with both parameters similar to other Spitzer-discovered debris disks. Our calculated dust temperatures suggest that about half the excesses we observe are derived from circumbinary planetesimal belts and around one third of the excesses clearly suggest circumstellar material. Three systems with excesses have dust in dynamically unstable regions, and we discuss possible scenarios for the origin of this short-lived dust.

description: A formula is derived that allows the computation of one-loop mass shifts for self-dual semilocal topological solitons. These extended objects, which in three spatial dimensions are called semi-local strings, arise in a generalized Abelian Higgs model with a doublet of complex Higgs fields. Having a mixture of global, SU(2), and local (gauge), U(1), symmetries, this weird system may seem bizarre, but it is in fact the bosonic sector of electro-weak theory when the weak mixing angle is of 90 degrees. The procedure for computing the semi-classical mass shifts is based on canonical quantization and heat kernel/zeta function regularization methods.

description: The Andreev reflection between a normal metal (N) and a heavy-fermion superconductor (HFS) is studied and the boundary conditions for the electron's wave function in the two systems are established in the framework of a two band model for the HFS. Hence we show in a simple and explicit way that the mass enhancement factors in the heavy-fermion (HF) metal do not cause impedance at the N/HFS interface, in accordance with arguments previously presented. We also present an extension of the theory to a two-fluid model for the heavy-fermion, as possibly applicable to, e.g., CeCoIn_5.

description: Biopolymers are characterized by special structure, properties and functions, which can be fully realized only within a live form. Nowadays the mechanism of polyelectrolytes association with different high and low-molecular compounds, diverse in chemical nature occurring in living organisms, is still unknown and must be further investigated. In spite of this complex reaction mechanism essential for biopolymers, can be scientifically modeled and studied using their synthetic analogs such as polyampholytes. Currently charged polyampholytes application can contribute to addressing challenges connected with modern oil production, wastewater or soil treatment as well as development of smart medicine. In this article a series of linear polyampholytes based on fully charged anionic monomer sodium salt of 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPSNa) and cationic (3-acrylamidopropyl) trimethylammonium chloride (APTAC) were synthesized by free radical (co)polymerization. Complexation reaction of strongly charged linear polyampholytes with surfactants were investigated.

description: The problem of heart connective tissue dysplasia syndrome is extremely relevant due to the increased risk of rhythm and conduction disorders, infectious endocarditis, thromboembolism and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Structural heart diseases (SHD) are manifestations of small anomalies of development on the part of the cardiovascular system. Dysplastic heart refers to the combination of constitutional, topographical, anatomical, and functional features of the heart in a patient with connective tissue dysplasia (CTD). The standard for the diagnosis of coronary calcification (CC), one of the known predictors of coronary heart disease (CHD) and complications of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), is multispiral computed tomographic scanner (MSCT).

description: Constant time delay (CTD) is a near-errorless response prompting procedure that involves a presentation of a stimulus, a delay interval, and a controlling prompt. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of teaching vowel/consonant digraph sounds to children with mild disabilities using constant time delay. A multiple probe (conditions) across behaviors design, replicated with three students, was used. The results indicated that CTD is effective in teaching vowel/consonant digraphs to elementary students with mild disabilities which then generalize to reading words containing those same digraphs.

description: This work was conducted as part of the SPECPDR program, dedicated to the study of very small particles and astrochemistry, in Photo-Dissociation Regions (PDRs). We present the analysis of the mid-IR spectro-imagery observations of Ced 201, NCG 7023 East and North-West and rho-Ophiuchi West filament. Using the data from all four modules of the InfraRed Spectrograph onboard the Spitzer Space Telescope, we produced a spectral cube ranging from 5 to 35 um for each one of the observed PDRs. The resulting cubes were analysed using Blind Signal Separation methods (NMF and FastICA). For Ced 201, rho-Ophiuchi West filament and NGC 7023 East, we find that two signals can be extracted from the original data cubes, which are 5 to 35 um spectra. The main features of the first spectrum are a strong continuum emission at long wavelengths, and a broad 7.8 um band. On the contrary, the second spectrum exhibits the classical Aromatic Infrared Bands (AIBs) and no continuum. The reconstructed spatial distribution maps show that the latter spectrum is mainly present at the cloud surface, close to the star whereas the first one is located slightly deeper inside the PDR. The study of the spectral energy distribution of Ced 201 up to 100 um suggests that, in cool PDRs, the 5-25 um continuum is carried by Very Small Grains (VSGs). The AIB spectra in the observed objects can be interpreted as the contribution of neutral and positively-charged Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). We extracted the 5 to 25 um emission spectrum of VSGs in cool PDRs, these grains being most likely carbonaceous. We show that the variations of the mid-IR (5-35 um) spectra of PDRs can be explained by the photo-chemical processing of these VSGs and PAHs, VSGs being the progenitors of free PAH.

description: Analysis of the most widespread constructive-technological solutions used in thermomodernization, showed the impossibility of choosing the optimal solution for a single enclosing structure only by direct assessment of physical, mechanical and technical and economic characteristics. It is proposed to select the optimal constructive-technological solution in thermomodernization projects from all possible in two stages. At the first stage, it is necessary to discard those solutions, the implementation of which for this type of building is technically impossible or economically or technically impractical. In the second to assess the system of indicators that comprehensively characterize the constructive-technological solution. In the article, based on the analysis of literature sources and the authors' own experience in the development and maintenance of thermomodernization projects, a system of criterion evaluation for constructive-technological solutions of thermomodernization is developed. The optimal technical solution is the solution that received the highest score on the total. This method is based on a pairwise comparison of options depending on the annual savings of thermal energy from the cost of thermomodernization measures, allowed to determine the most technically, energy and cost-effective options for complex thermomodernization.

description: We measured ferromagnetic resonance of a single submicron ferromagnetic strip, embedded in an on-chip microwave transmission line device. The method used is based on detection of the oscillating magnetic flux due to the magnetization dynamics, with an inductive pick-up loop. The dependence of the resonance frequency on applied static magnetic field agrees very well with the Kittel formula, demonstrating that the uniform magnetization precession mode is being driven.

description: We discuss pseudo-Riemannian metrics on 2-dimensional manifolds such that the geodesic flow admits a nontrivial integral quadratic in velocities. We construct local normal forms of such metrics. We show that these metrics have certain useful properties similar to those of Riemannian Liouville metrics, namely: 1) they admit geodesically equivalent metrics; 2) one can use them to construct a big family of natural systems admitting integrals quadratic in momenta; 3) the integrability of such systems can be generalized to the quantum setting; 4) these natural systems are integrable by quadratures.

description: The important characteristic for predicting a bioavailability of poorly water-soluble APIs from solid dosage forms are in vitro kinetics of dissolution of APIs in physiologically similar mediums. The study of in vitro kinetics during research and development of formulation solid dosage forms makes it possible to predict a technology of solid dosage forms, which can ensure the necessary bioavailability for poorly water-soluble APIs.

Lexical extension and overextension by blind children
Creators: name: Kearns, Kimberly Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This study investigated lexical extension and overextension by three blind children, ages 1;8, 2;1 and 2;5, who had vocabularies of at least 50 words but did not yet produce two-word utterances. Theories of semantic development take it for granted that vision provides the child with access to a great deal of the information necessary for the development of meaning, including much of the knowledge about size, shape, and movement of referents. Through vision, the child is able to form concepts on which word meaning is based, and extend the domain of application of words from original referents by recognizing other instances of that word. Despite this, surprisingly little research has focused on semantic development by blind children. Results of the few relevant studies indicate that blind children rarely extend or overextend their words, and attribute this inability to either (1) a lack of experience with other similar referents, or (2) an inability to form categories that underlie lexical extension and overextension. The blind children were given objects to name during a play session. These objects were (1) new examples of an item the child already named, providing opportunity for the child to extend known words to proper, novel referents, or (2) members of a different nominal category, but differing from an item the child already named in one or two criterial features, thus providing opportunity for the child to overextend. Data on spontaneous extension and overextension was also collected through analysis of utterances produced during experimental sessions and reported in parental diaries. Results indicated that all children extended and overextended their words, both spontaneously and in experiments; visual impairment did not prevent the children from recognizing other exemplars of a referent, or from applying words they knew to objects similar to original referents but, on the basis of criterial features, members of other nominal categories. Performance during two sorting tasks indicated that the children did not have impaired ability to form categories—all three children displayed classificatory behaviour during the sorting activities.
Nonradial pulsations of rapidly rotating [delta] Scuti stars
Creators: name: Kennelly, Edward James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Time series of high resolution CFHT spectra of four δ Scuti stars are examined for consistency with the presence of nonradial pulsations (nrp). Each series exhibits a progression of subfeatures moving from blue to red through the absorption lines. We have reproduced the profile variations using a geometrical model which imposes sectorial modes on the surface of the star. Modeling of the low-degree modes is guided by radial-velocity variations and the known photometric variations. Synthetic spectra generated with the appropriate Teff and log g for each star are used as input for the model. In this way, the entire wavelength region covered by the observations can be reproduced and the effects of blending on the nrp profiles are included explicitly. The extension from a single-line model to one generated over a wide spectral region provides a much more sensitive comparison with the observations. In general, we find that the data can be reproduced by the combination of a high-degree mode (ℓ > 8) and a low-degree mode [ℓ < 2). The intrinsic line widths and υ sinί together set a limit on the resolution of the stellar surface and by including this resolution in our treatment we can estimate the velocity amplitude of the oscillations (~ 5 km/s). We find that low values of k (≤ 0.1) expected for p-mode oscillations are consistent with the observations. A possible relationship between the periods of the high- and low-degree modes is noted, the question of uniqueness is addressed and comparisons are made with models invoking starspots. For at least one of the stars (қ² Boo), it is impossible to fit the observations by a starspot model without assuming unrealistic values of radius or equatorial velocity.

description: Soils are the foundation of life, playing a crucial role in supporting ecosystems and human civilization. However, soil degradation and soil loss pose significant threats to food security, water quality, and climate stability. Educating future generations about the importance of soil conservation and management is crucial for sustainable land use practices and environmental stewardship. Soil monoliths are preserved vertical sections of soil that show fundamental concepts in soil science such as soil color, structure, profile, and soil forming processes and factors. Here we provide a teaching module created for upper division undergraduate students using Bloom’s Taxonomy to teach soil structure and horizonation of two tropical soil from Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi. The following learning objectives were used to create the module:

Understand the concepts of soil horizons and structure.
Recall characteristics associated with specific soil horizons.
Evaluate soil structure and discuss the role of structure in relation to horizonation.
Determine soil horizons and associated soil characteristics given a mystery soil profile.

description: The anomalous excess of low-energy nu_e events measured in the MiniBooNE experiment is explained through a renormalization of the absolute neutrino flux and a simultaneous disappearance of the nu_e's in the beam, which is compatible with that indicated by the results of Gallium radioactive source experiments. We present the results of the fit of MiniBooNE data (P(nu_e->nu_e) = 0.64 +0.08 -0.07) and the combined fit of MiniBooNE data and the nu_e disappearance measured in the Gallium radioactive source experiments, which gives P(nu_e->nu_e) = 0.82 +- 0.04. We show that our interpretation of the data is also compatible with an old indication in favor of nu_e disappearance found from the analysis of the results of beam-dump experiments, leading to P(nu_e->nu_e) = 0.80 +0.03 -0.04.
