Evaluating ecotourism in Mexico’s biosphere reserves – whale watching activities in the World Heritage Site of Laguna San Ignacio, Baja California Sur, Mexico, 1994-2002
Creators: name: Rossing, Peter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2006

description: A descriptive case study approach and 34 indicators was used to examine the socio-economic impacts of whale watching tourism in the Laguna San Ignacio (LSI) World Heritage Site - located within the El Vizcaino Biosphere Reserve in Baja California Sur, Mexico. The framework measured both the socio-economic changes, and the economic viability of the local and regional operators. This approach led to a detailed understanding of the underlying, and often complex, inter-related factors that shaped the ecotourism development in LSI between 1994 and 2002. It identified strengths and weaknesses of current ecotourism development making it a valid tool for evaluating and improving these activities in any biosphere reserve. More specifically the objectives were to examine: 1. How existing ecotourism operations and their activities in the LSI have changed since 1994; 2. Whether these changes have made ecotourism a more viable socio-economic development alternative for the local communities; and 3. Which strategies may be useful in overcoming identified barriers to further socio-economic benefits both from existing and future ecotourism activities. The results strongly suggested that the benefits from ecotourism improved significantly between 1994 and 2002. Economically this was reflected in growth of visitor numbers (50%), employment (100%) and local and regional revenue approximately 70% (or 55% in real terms adjusting for inflation). Social benefits were seen in more cooperation among previous antagonistic stakeholders; a wider distribution of ecotourism benefits; some improvement in living standards and increasing local support for the Reserve. Politically, local stakeholders became more empowered through involvement in tourism related management activities. The viability of the local and regional operators also improved significantly as they became more sophisticated in their product offerings, enhanced their facilities and gained a market share of ecotourism relative to the foreign operators. These improvements were particular true for the operators that sold package tours. However, the analyses also revealed a number of barriers with the most important ones being: • Unresolved historic land use conflicts over rights to land with ecotourism possibilities; • Lack of activities diversification possibilities outside the tourism season; • Stagnating visitor numbers; • Uneven business skills among operators; • Poor marketing and promotional efforts; • Insufficient ecotourism infrastructure; • A proposed ecotourism tax; • Low profit margin of the ecotourism operators; and • Lack of funding for further investments To alleviate these threats and barriers 13 general strategies were identified. An elaboration of these resulted in 39 concrete operational strategies on how potentially to implement them.

A search for fast pulsars in globular clusters
Creators: name: Begin, Steve
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2006

description: Millisecond pulsars (MSP) are old neutron stars that have been spun up to high spin frequencies(as fast as 716 Hz) through the accretion of matter from a companion star. The extreme stellar densities in the core of globular clusters creates numerous accreting neutron star systems through exchange interactions; this leads to the formation of MSPs in larger numbers than in the galactic disk. Over the course of this project, we have collected over 17 TB of data on the 3 globular clusters M28, NGC6440 and NGC6441 plus 2 observations on NGC6522 and NGC6624 as part of the recently begun S-band survey using the Green Bank telescope. I have analyzed and conducted acceleration searches on 70% of the data and discovered 7 of the 23 new millisecond pulsars reported in this work. One year of timing observations of the pulsars in M28 and NGC6440 has led to the phase connected solution for 12 of the 15 new pulsars in those two clusters, 7 of which are in binaries. We have measured the rate of advance of periastron for two highly eccentric binaries and assuming this is purely due to general relativity, this leads to total system masses of (1.616 - 0.014)M and (2.2 - 0.8)M for M28C and NGC6440B respectively. The small mass function combined with this information imply that the most likely neutron star mass of NGC6440B is either very large or else there could be significant contribution to the advance of periastron from a nonzero quadrupole moment due to tidal interaction with the companion. Measurements of the period derivatives for many of the pulsars show that they are dominated by the dynamical effect of the gravitational field of the clusters. Finally, we have discovered the potential presence of a Mars-mass planet orbiting the pulsar NGC6440C with a period of 21 days. A dedicated timing campaign will be necessary to confirm the presence of such an object.

Computational Methods for the Identification and Comparative Analysis of Urban Form Types: A Case Study of Rust Belt Cities
Creators: name: Rhee, Jinmo
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2024
Subjects: Architecture not elsewhere classified

description:  This dissertation presents a novel methodological framework that allows for the comparative analysis of city structures by identifying urban form types, interweaving a data scientific perspective into urban morphology. Proposing a concept of neighboring urban form around individual buildings as a key constituent of the city, a new kind of urban form dataset and method to identify urban form types is introduced. This framework was applied to three Rust Belt cities—Cleveland, Detroit, and Pittsburgh—as a case study. A deep learning model was employed to capture the morphological features from the urban dataset for these cities, clustered them to yield types of urban spaces, and examined the morphological characteristics of each type. These types delineate patterns of urban fabric and reveal urban structures distinctive of Rust Belt cities. Through site surveys and expert interviews, I validated the proposed method’s capacity to provide more granular classification of urban forms and lead to more nuanced understanding of city space than conventional urban anal?ysis methods. This dissertation contributes to the field of urban form studies, opening a new perspective to the analysis of urban spaces and redefining urban types and fabric from data science.

Genetic and genomic studies of mouse and human NR2E1 in cortical disorders, aggressive behaviour, and psychiatric disease
Creators: name: Kumar, Ravinesh A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Brain and behavioural disorders represent a leading cause of morbidity and suffering worldwide. The 'fierce' mouse has a spontaneous deletion of Nr2e1 that results in a complex phenotype that includes cortical hypoplasia and socially abnormal behaviours. Notably, functional protein and regulatory equivalency of mouse and human NR2E1 has been established. Furthermore, human studies implicate the genomic region containing NR2E1 in mental illness, although a role for NR2E1 in humans is currently unknown. Here, I integrate mouse models and human molecular genetics to understand the involvement of NR2E1 in human brain-behaviour development. First, we test the hypothesis that the spontaneous 'fierce' deletion involves onlyNr2el. It was demonstrated that the 'fierce' mutation results in the loss of all Nr2e1 exons without affecting neighbouring genes. Next, the hypothesis that some humans with cortical malformations will harbour NR2E1 mutations was tested by sequencing the coding, untranslated, splice-site, proximal promoter, and evolutionarily conserved regions of this gene in 60 subjects with microcephaly. Four candidate regulatory mutations were identified. To help interpret these findings, the genomic architecture and molecular evolution of NR2E1 were characterized in 94ethnically-diverse humans and 13 non-human primates, which indicated strong functional constraint. Finally, the hypothesis that some humans with behavioural and psychiatric disorders will harbour mutations in NR2E1 was tested by sequencing the regions outlined above in 126humans with impulsive-aggressive disorders, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia. Eleven candidate regulatory mutations were identified. Taken together, the findings presented in this thesis are consistent with the proposal that non-coding regulatory mutations may be important to the pathogenesis of brain-behavioural disorders in some humans.
Three essays on female and child outcomes in India
Creators: name: Bhattacharjee, Shampa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Poor child health outcomes and high fertility rates are viewed as major obstacles to development in most developing countries. Chapters 2 and 3 of my thesis investigate the determinants of these outcomes in the Indian context. The second chapter looks at the impact of political cycles on infant mortality in India. This study shows that children born 0-12 months before scheduled state assembly elections have 13.4% lower mortality risks as compared to children not born before scheduled elections and that the effect is higher for children born in more politically competitive regions. In addition, the chapter presents some evidence that mothers who gave birth before elections have more regular antenatal check-ups and at least one tetanus injection during their pregnancy. Children born before scheduled assembly elections are also less likely to suffer from low birth weight. My third chapter tests the effect of female employment on fertility in India. The results show that female employment in manufacturing has a negative impact on fertility once the endogeneity in female employment is accounted for. However female employment in agriculture and aggregate female labour force participation has no such effects. The fourth chapter is joint work with Dr. Viktoria Hnatkovska and Dr. Amartya Lahiri. This chapter examines the evolution of gender gaps in India between 1983 and 2010 in education, occupation choices and wages. The chapter shows that the gaps have shrunk quite sharply between men and women in education and choice of occupations and wages. The gaps have narrowed most sharply for the youngest cohorts in the workforce, suggesting that measured gaps will continue to decline over the next two decades.

description: Rehabilitation to prevent falls should not only directly address intrinsic and extrinsic factors, but also the neuropsychology of falls to promote safe and independent mobility in our aging population. The purpose of this study was to determine the relation between falls self-efficacy and objective responses to a series of walking balance perturbations. 29 healthy younger adults and 28 older adults completed four experimental trials, including unperturbed walking and walking while responding to three perturbations: mediolateral optical flow, treadmill-induced slips, and lateral waist-pulls; and three self-reported questionnaires: Activity-specific Balance Confidence, Falls Efficacy Scale, and the Fear of Falling Questionnaire-Revised. We quantified stabilizing responses as a change in margin of stability from unperturbed walking. Older adults generally exhibited larger instability than younger adults in response to walking balance perturbations. Only the Fear of Falls Questionnaire-Revised showed an increase in perceived falls risk for older adults. We found no significant correlations for older adults between any balance perturbation response and questionnaires of self-perception. Given the disconnect between self-perceived falls risk and responses to walking balance perturbations, rehabilitation to prevent falls while maintaining mobility and independence will likely require personalized techniques that combine neuromuscular training with approaches for neurophysiological reeducation.
Achieving predictable timing and fairness through cooperative polling
Creators: name: Sinha, Anirban
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Time-sensitive applications that are also CPU intensive like video games, video playback, eye-candy desktops etc. are increasingly common. These applications run on commodity operating systems that are targeted at diverse hardware, and hence they cannot assume that sufficient CPU is always available. Increasingly, these applications are designed to be adaptive. When executing multiple such applications, the operating system must not only provide good timeliness but also (optionally) allow co-ordinating their adaptations so that applications can deliver uniform fidelity. In this work, we present a starvation-free, fair, process scheduling algorithm that provides predictable and low latency execution without the use of reservations and assists adaptive time sensitive tasks with achieving consistent quality through cooperation. We combine an event-driven application model called cooperative polling with a fair-share scheduler. Cooperative polling allows sharing of timing or priority information across applications via the kernel thus providing good timeliness, and the fair-share scheduler provides fairness and full utilization. Our experiments show that cooperative polling leverages the inherent efficiency advantages of voluntary context switching versus involuntary pre-emption. In CPU saturated conditions, we show that the scheduling responsiveness of cooperative polling is five times better than a well-tuned fair-share scheduler, and orders of magnitude better than the best-effort scheduler used in the mainstream Linux kernel.

description: In its efforts to reduce increasing rates of obesity and nutrition-related noncommunicable diseases, Peru implemented front-of-package (FOP) warning labels (also called warnings) on processed and ultra-processed foods in June 2019. The goal was to inform consumers about high levels of sugars, saturated fats, sodium, and trans fats in packaged products. We designed a qualitative study to reveal the recall, understanding, and use of the warnings and to explore the perceived changes in purchasing behaviors among mothers of preschool children in Peru. In mid-2021 we conducted 18 focus groups with 98 mothers from 2 socioeconomic strata (SES) residing in 4 geographically and culturally diverse cities. We analyzed the focus group transcripts for themes relating to the mothers’ awareness, understanding, and use of the warnings and the warnings’ influence. Our results show that most mothers remembered the warnings and understood their general purpose and meaning, although some warnings were more easily remembered and understood than others. For example, sugar was easier than trans fats. Many mothers considered the warnings in their purchase decisions, although the impact of the warnings on final purchase decisions varied. The warnings were less effective for products that mothers already knew were high in critical nutrients, that they considered essential for certain preparations (e.g., butter), or that they enjoyed (e.g., chocolate). Most mothers reported changes in their purchasing and eating habits due to the warnings, mainly in reducing the frequency and quantity of some processed food intake and opting instead for homemade preparations or warning-free packaged products. Our study shows the usefulness of the FOP warning labels for informing consumers from different settings and SES about the healthfulness of packaged products. The study identifies key areas in which Peru can improve the policy and offers valuable lessons for other countries interested in the implementation of FOP warning labels.

Multilevel multidimensional scaling on the GPU
Creators: name: Ingram, Stephen F.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: We present Glimmer, a new multilevel visualization algorithm for multidimensional scaling designed to exploit modern graphics processing unit (GPU) hard-ware. We also present GPU-SF, a parallel, force-based subsystem used by Glimmer. Glimmer organizes input into a hierarchy of levels and recursively applies GPU-SF to combine and refine the levels. The multilevel nature of the algorithm helps avoid local minima while the GPU parallelism improves speed of computation. We propose a robust termination condition for GPU-SF based on a filtered approximation of the normalized stress function. We demonstrate the benefits of Glimmer in terms of speed, normalized stress, and visual quality against several previous algorithms for a range of synthetic and real benchmark datasets. We show that the performance of Glimmer on GPUs is substantially faster than a CPU implementation of the same algorithm. We also propose a novel texture paging strategy called distance paging for working with precomputed distance matrices too large to fit in texture memory.
