description: We study a model of vector dark matter with the complex scalar Higgs portal. Renormalisation group equations at the 2-loop level are used to analyse perturbativity and stability of the vacuum. We impose experimental and theoretical constraints on the model and find regions in the parameter space consistent with the dark matter relic abundance inferred from the Planck data and bounds on DM-nucleon scattering cross-section from XENON and LUX experiments.

Subjects: subject: Teaching

description: This project work was prepared to explore innovative teaching strategies for rural Indian primary schools with an intention to prepare a grade one to five handbook for teachers. The design was based on the British Columbia (BC) curriculum model developed in Canada on the basis of innovative teaching strategies. Most of the rural Indian primary school use the traditional teaching strategies; these out-dated strategies are ones that I experienced both as a student and teacher. These teaching strategies did not help the teachers engage students in the classroom. My experiences and a strong concern about today‘s students in rural India were the driving forces behind this research project. I hope this handbook will be helpful in providing a new path for the rural Indian primary school teachers. I believe this research project will result in (a) providing innovative teaching strategies to rural Indian school teachers and (b) more engaged students in rural Indian classrooms.

Global Structure of Exact Scalar Hairy Dynamical Black Holes

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the global structure of some exact scalar hairy dynamical black holes which were constructed in Einstein gravity either minimally or non-minimally coupled to a scalar field. We find that both the apparent horizon and the local event horizon (measured in luminosity coordinate) monotonically increase with the advanced time as well as the Vaidya mass. At late advanced times, the apparent horizon approaches the event horizon and gradually becomes future outer. Correspondingly, the space-time arrives at stationary black hole states with the relaxation time inversely proportional to the $1/(n-1)$ power of the final black hole mass, where $n$ is the space-time dimension. These results strongly support the solutions describing the formation of black holes with scalar hair. We also obtain new charged dynamical solutions in the non-minimal theory by introducing an Maxwell field which is non-minimally coupled to the scalar. The presence of the electric charge strongly modifies the dynamical evolution of the space-time.

Recruitment of trades instructors: current practices and challenges faced

Publisher: name: Vancouver Island University - Royal Roads University

Subjects: subject: Teachers--Recruiting

description: The purpose of the present study was to identify what recruitment practices have been used by post-secondary trades training providers in British Columbia to assist in their process of hiring trades instructors and what challenges have they faced in ensuring that an adequate pool of trades instructors submit applications for job postings. It was hypothesized that the results of the study would indicate that the training providers were not using a detailed or strategic approach in their recruitment processes and that there would be a heavy reliance on the connections between existing faculty members and their respective trade industries to recruit applicants. It was also hypothesized that there would be significant economic challenges identified in recruiting trades instructors and that the training institutes would not feel that their recruitment processes were effective. In 2018, 11 Deans of post-secondary Trades Faculties in British Columbia participated in the study. The data collected revealed that training providers were using an array of recruitment practices, but not necessarily as part of an overarching recruitment plan. Professional relationships between Faculty members and their respective industry leaders was the most common theme of recruitment practices identified. Further, economic challenges were shown to impact the overall effectiveness of recruiting trades instructors at most of the training providers.

Stepping off the merry-go-round: successfully transitioning to restorative practices in schools
Creators: name: Theobald, Mark A.
Publisher: name: Vancouver Island University - Royal Roads University
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: School discipline

description: Being convinced of the benefits of restorative practices in schools, the purpose of this study was to identify the factors that would lead to the successful implementation of restorative practices in a school setting. A review of literature suggested six key elements were necessary; a perceived need for a change, staff buy-in, training, student participation and ownership, the incorporation of restorative practices into daily routines, fully voluntary participation in restorative processes, and training for all staff before and after implementation. A survey was conducted in a small BC school that had implemented restorative practices beginning in 2010 in order to explore the factors that supported or inhibited the successful implementation of restorative practices. The results of this study supported four of these elements (all except for student participation and the daily use of restorative practices); and while there were no data refuting the other two elements, neither was enough data gathered to concretely support them. Recommendations were made as to how these elements could successfully be incorporated into implementation.

Dissipative Light Bullets in Passively Mode-Locked Semiconductor Lasers
Creators: name: Javaloyes, J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We demonstrate the existence of stable three dimensional dissipative localized structures in the output of a laser coupled to a distant saturable absorber. These phase invariant light bullets are individually addressable and can be envisioned for three dimensional optical information storage. An effective theory provides for an intuitive picture and allows to relate their formation to the morphogenesis of static auto-solitons and cellular patterns. The complexity incurred by the widely different time scales present in the problem as well as by non-local couplings that stem from the material degrees of freedom is circumvented by the use of a multiple time-scale analysis. This provides a powerful model enabling to tackle effectively the three dimensional case.

description: We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) line and continuum observations at 1.2mm with ~0.3" resolution that uncover a Keplerian-like disk around the forming O-type star AFGL 4176. The continuum emission from the disk at 1.21 mm (source mm1) has a deconvolved size of 870+/-110 AU x 330+/-300 AU and arises from a structure ~8 M_sun in mass, calculated assuming a dust temperature of 190 K. The first-moment maps, pixel-to-pixel line modeling, assuming local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE), and position-velocity diagrams of the CH3CN J=13-12 K-line emission all show a velocity gradient along the major axis of the source, coupled with an increase in velocity at small radii, consistent with Keplerian-like rotation. The LTE line modeling shows that where CH3CN J=13-12 is excited, the temperatures in the disk range from ~70 to at least 300 K and that the H2 column density peaks at 2.8x10^24 cm^-2. In addition, we present Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) 12CO observations which show a large-scale outflow from AFGL 4176 perpendicular to the major axis of mm1, supporting the disk interpretation. Finally, we present a radiative transfer model of a Keplerian disk surrounding an O7 star, with a disk mass and radius of 12 M_sun and 2000 AU, that reproduces the line and continuum data, further supporting our conclusion that our observations have uncovered a Keplerian disk around an O-type star.

description: Energetic feedback due to active galactic nuclei (AGN) is likely to play an important role in the observed anti-hierarchical trend in the evolution of galaxies, and yet the energy injected into the circumgalactic medium by this process is largely unknown. One promising approach to constrain this feedback is through measurements of CMB spectral distortions due to the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect, whose magnitude is directly proportional to the energy input by AGN. Here we co-add South Pole Telescope SZ (SPT-SZ) survey data around a large set of massive quiescent elliptical galaxies at z >= 0.5. We use data from the Blanco Cosmology Survey and VISTA Hemisphere Survey to create a large catalog of galaxies split up into two redshift bins, with 3394 galaxies at 0.5 <= z <= 1.0 and 924 galaxies at 1.0 <= z <= 1.5, with typical stellar masses of 1.5 x 10^11 M_Sun. We then co-add the emission around these galaxies, resulting in a measured tSZ signal at 2.2 sigma significance for the lower redshift bin and a contaminating signal at 1.1 sigma for the higher redshift bin. To remove contamination due to dust emission, we use SPT-SZ source counts to model a contaminant source population in both the SPT-SZ bands and Planck high-frequency bands for a subset of 937 low-redshift galaxies and 240 high-redshift galaxies. This increases our detection to 3.6 sigma for low redshifts and 0.9 sigma for high redshifts. We find the mean angularly-integrated Compton-y values to be 2.2 (-0.7+0.9) x 10^-7 Mpc^2 for low redshifts and 1.7 (-1.8+2.2) x 10^-7 Mpc^2 for high redshifts, corresponding to total thermal energies of 7.6 (-2.3+3.0) x 10^60 ergs and 6.0 (-6.3+7.7) x 10^60 ergs, respectively. These numbers are higher than expected from simple theoretical models that do not include AGN feedback, and serve as constraints that can be applied to current simulations of massive galaxy formation.

description: Fermions and bosons are fundamental realizations of exchange statistics, which governs the probability for two particles being close to each other spatially. Anyons in the fractional quantum Hall effect are an example for exchange statistics intermediate between bosons and fermions. We analyze a mesoscopic setup in which two dilute beams of anyons collide with each other, and relate the correlations of current fluctuations to the probability of particles excluding each other spatially. While current correlations for fermions vanish, negative correlations for anyons are a clear signature of a reduced spatial exclusion as compared to fermions.

Seismic stratigraphy of the Eirik Drift, southern Greenland margin: tracking North Atlantic bottom water flow since the Eocene
Creators: name: Nicholson, Emily Margaret
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Eirik Drift is a detached giant elongated drift which extends a total length of 360 km, located off the southern margin of Greenland, approximately 100 km south of Cape Farewell, Greenland in the North Atlantic Ocean. Eirik Drift is controlled by the influence of deep contour currents resulting from the movement of the deep Western Boundary Undercurrent (WBUC). The WBUC is a dominant constituent of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW), the lower limb of the global thermohaline circulation (THC) system, which transports sediments, nutrients, and temperature regimes across the Atlantic Ocean. Understanding the origins, distribution, and development of Eirik Drift is critical to reliably placing proxy data into a larger context of sedimentation, ocean circulation, global climate and using these histories as analogs of recent changes in global climate. This study examined the seismic stratigraphy of Eirik Drift using multi-channel seismic (MCS) profiles collected in the summer of 2002 during cruise KN166-14 of the R/V Knorr and tied it to the lithology, sedimentation rates, and downhole data of four Ocean Drilling sites: Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 105 Site 646, and International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition Sites U1305, U1306 and U1307. This analysis concludes that drift building began at 7.5 Ma and continues to the present. The drift’s morphology shows significant sedimentation and drift building occurred throughout the Pliocene, then slowed during the Pleistocene, as shown through mapped patterns of sediment accumulation in time and space. Over this time, the WBUC has migrated with varying intensity (i.e., modifications in velocity and/or and buoyancy relating to climate regimes), modifying the shape and distribution of the drift, due to measured changes in sediment supply, ocean circulation, and atmospheric conditions. This finding is consistent with other measurements and models of the history of WBUC and North Atlantic Ocean circulation and atmospheric conditions.

description: Education in India is still exam oriented, where life outcomes for learners are influenced by performance on standardized tests. The purpose of this project was to develop a curricular structure for a proposed school, challenging the status quo by minimizing focus on sorting learners by percentages and maximizing a 21st century student-centred model that emphasizes learning. In Sanskrit the words Prakritik Parisar mean the natural environment. Adopting this name for the proposed school communicates the embodiment of a traditional, organic Vedic atmosphere in which contemporary teaching is fused with noted Indian philosophies. The goal of Prakritik Parisar School is to offer curriculum for learners to explore their abilities, discover their strengths, and fervently pursue their interests.

Relational trust and rural education: a qualitative study on how educational leaders can enhance levels of trust in an elementary setting
Creators: name: Telford, Maria D.
Publisher: name: Vancouver Island University - Royal Roads University
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Trust
subject: Education, Rural

description: The current study examines the concepts that impact relational trust in a rural elementary setting from the perspective of school personnel. The trust relationship between school staff and the principal is emphasized in this investigation. The findings are significant because they contribute context-specific data that educational leaders can use to inform practice and enhance a culture of trust within their settings. Qualitative methodology and content analysis were used in this study. Open-ended written response surveys were used to collect data from teachers and support staff working in four elementary schools in the interior of British Columbia. Findings show that factors that influence trust in the rural education setting complement the existing research done in the urban environment. These factors include: promotes an inclusive environment, demonstrates effective communication skills, models best practice, demonstrates strong leadership skills, is a person of integrity, has a growth mindset, takes time to build and maintain personal connections, is approachable, and has a strong work ethic, emerged as central themes impacting relational trust in the school environment. To strengthen the results of this study and generalize the results to other rural areas, it is suggested that similar research be conducted in elementary schools located in other small towns in British Columbia.

description: Can machines think fast and logical like us? In this study, we explore whether support vector machines (SVMs) - the workhorses of AI (Artificial Intelligence) - exhibit human-like heuristic judgment alongside mathematical optimization. Our experiments reveal that nonlinear SVMs can act as cognitive mimics, making surprisingly "intuitive" shortcuts reminiscent of Kahneman and Tversky's dual process theory. Yet SVMs avoid our irrational biases by combining heuristics with optimal statistical learning. These cognitive cousins both leverage the power of mental shortcuts, but only humans trip up. Our multidisciplinary results illuminate the psychology behind AI's decisions, with profound implications. We glimpse mind-like heuristics emerging from rigid math, suggesting new directions for human-aligned AI. But mysteries remain on whether SVMs' heuristic gambles are features or flaws. Do their information-savvy shortcuts point towards the essence of intuition? We discuss implications for interpreting modern AI through cognitive psychology lenses while identifying key differences. This multidisciplinary work aims to provide novel empirical insights on the interplay between heuristic and optimal practices in an important class of machine learning algorithms. The results shed light on developing human-aligned classifiers that balance the strengths of both heuristic and logical thinking. This paper takes a step towards unravelling the inner workings of one of the most used artificial intelligence models, Support Vector Machines.
Transient C IV Broad Absorption Lines in radio detected QSOs

description: We study the transient (i.e. emerging or disappearing) C IV broad absorption line (BAL) components in 50 radio detected QSOs using multi-epoch spectra available in Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR10. We report the detectionof 6 BALQSOs having at least one distinct transient C IV absorption component. Based on the structure function analysis of optical light curves, we suggest that the transient absorption is unlikely to be triggered by continuum variations. Transient absorption components usually have low C IV equivalent widths (< 8 Å), high ejection velocities (> 10000 \kms) and typically occur over rest-frame timescales > 800 days. The detection rate of transient C IV absorption seen in our sample is higher than that reported in the literature. Using a control sample of QSOs, we show that this difference is most likely due to the longer monitoring time-scale of sources in our sample while the effect of small number statistics cannot be ignored. Thus, in order to establish the role played by radio jets in driving the BAL outflows, we need a larger sample of radio detected BALs monitored over more than 3 years in the QSO's rest frame. We also find that the transient phenomenon in radio detected and radio quiet BALs does not depend on any of the QSO properties i.e. the Eddington ratio, black hole mass, bolometric luminosity and optical-to-IR colours. All this suggests that transient BAL phenomenon is simply the extreme case of BAL variability.

description: Wide parameter space searches for long lived continuous gravitational wave signals are computationally limited. It is therefore critically important that available computational resources are used rationally. In this paper we consider directed searches, i.e. targets for which the sky position is known accurately but the frequency and spindown parameters are completely unknown. Given a list of such potential astrophysical targets, we therefore need to prioritize. On which target(s) should we spend scarce computing resources? What parameter space region in frequency and spindown should we search? Finally, what is the optimal search set-up that we should use? In this paper we present a general framework that allows to solve all three of these problems. This framework is based on maximizing the probability of making a detection subject to a constraint on the maximum available computational cost. We illustrate the method for a simplified problem.

Balancing technology: an informed approach to technology in education
Creators: name: Abra, Meaghan L.
Publisher: name: Vancouver Island University - Royal Roads University
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Educational technology

description: The tensions between the advantages and disadvantages of technology use often make technology a heated discussion topic between teachers, parents, and students. The goal of this research is to bridge the conversation between the positives and negatives of technology use in schools. This research design incorporates a thorough literature review of the current research on technology, specifically through the following areas: educational technology pedagogy, health and wellness, cell phones in school, implementing technology plans, and digital citizenship. Through this literature review, a plan was developed to help middle schools in a BC school district find balance between the positives and negatives of technology use. A three-part plan is developed addressing communicating research to educators, teaching digital citizenship, and leading critical conversations on technology use. As technology continues to develop and further research is done in this area, technology plans and regulations need to adapt and respond to the needs of students.

Program evaluation of Cowichan Valley Open Learning
Creators: name: Jackson, Scott M.
Publisher: name: Vancouver Island University - Royal Roads University
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Educational evaluation--Duncan, B.C.

description: This paper encompasses a Program Evaluation of Cowichan Valley Open Learning Centre (CVOLC), to determine what aspects of our Alternate educational structures are the most important in allowing students who have been previously unsuccessful in school to achieve personal success. The researcher engaged in an analysis of the inputs, outputs, and outcomes of CVOLC's structures, framed around the 9 Guiding Principles in British Columbia's Guiding Principles for Alternate Schools (Hannis, 2016). These principles are: Relationship-Based Programming, Community Supports and Partnerships, Engagement, Food – Engagement and Relationship-Building, Sense of Program Legitimacy/Viability, Supportive Culture, Clear Student Transitions, Flexibility, and Staff Connections. CVOLC's structures and resources in each area were examined for alignment with the Guiding Principles and the needs of the current student body. Data was derived from the researcher’s personal observations, staff meeting minutes, staff newsletters, student intake data, completion rates, and satisfaction surveys. The findings found many areas of exceptional success as a program and many areas in which practices could be re-examined for further success. Several recommendations have been made, many of which address more than one of the 9 Guiding Principles. Key amongst the findings is a need to increase relevance of Advisory and work to address student transitions, both in and out of SD 79 Alternate systems. Structures for sharing more responsibility for student learning, engagement, and overall progress in the program with classroom teachers will be explored as possible avenues. These two key changes, it is hoped, will address many of the areas of need identified in the Program Evaluation and provide guidance for other Alternate systems to maximize efforts to enable student success.

Overcoming barriers facing adult immigrant students that prevent them from completing post-secondary education
Creators: name: Lin, Rebecca M.H.
Publisher: name: Vancouver Island University - Royal Roads University
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Adult students
subject: Students, Foriegn

description: The present study was conducted to explore immigrant students’ needs regarding institutional support services and programs in order to overcome difficulties that prevented them from completing their higher education at Vancouver Island University (VIU). By investigating immigrant students’ needs by gender and educational level, new services have been recommended to suit the different characteristics of immigrant students at VIU. The object of this study was also to provide an opportunity for immigrant students to have their voices heard and to acknowledge their needs for success instead of struggling in a new educational system. The reasons for the author of the present study investigating the support needed by immigrant students can be explained through both professional and personal perspectives. The main instrument of this present study was a survey designed to reveal immigrant students’ experiences and needs that they sought out after entering the Western post-secondary educational system. From the finding of this study, the stakeholders could re-evaluate the adult immigrants’ needs and provide them an equal opportunity to succeed from the post-secondary educational system.

description: A novel iterative analytic approach allowing for the prediction of energy deposition into Vaporizing Foil Actuators (VFA) is presented. Besides the process parameters of actuator geometry and pulse generator configuration, it takes into account the energy dependence of the resistivity as well as the rate dependence of the achievable energy deposition. This rate dependency is found experimentally for aluminum foils and subsequently used in the modeling. With an average deviation of less than 15% the predicted energy depositions are in acceptable accordance with the experiments, but only as long as homogeneous Joule heating can be assumed. The proposed model has thus the potential to ease the future VFA process design, e.g. for manufacturing applications.

description: We carried out light curve solutions of ten detached eclipsing eccentric binaries observed by Kepler. The formal errors of the derived parameters from the light curve solutions are below 1%. Our results give indications that the components of the eccentric binaries (especially those with mass ratios below 0.5) do not follow precisely the empirical relations between the stellar parameters derived from the study of circular-orbit binaries. We found the following peculiarities of the targets: (a) the components of KIC 9474969 have almost the same temperatures while their radii and masses differ by a factor around 2.5; (b) KIC 6949550 reveals semi-regular light variations with an amplitude of 0.004 and a period around 7 d which are modulated by long-term variations; (c) KIC 6220470, KIC 11071207, and KIC 9474969 exhibit tidally induced 'hump' around the periastron. These are the targets with the biggest relative radii of our sample. We derived the dependence of the hump amplitude on the relative stellar radii, eccentricity, and mass ratio of eccentric binary consisting of MS stars.
