The effect of motor imagery training ability on force steadiness in old and young females
Creators: name: Calkins, Cori
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Motor imagery training (MIT) is the mental rehearsal of a motor task with no overt movement. Improvements in force steadiness (FS) are related to adaptations in neural excitability, and in older adults FS is related to functional performance. Age-related decline in functional ability is greater in females compared to males. Purpose: To determine if one session of MIT influences corticospinal excitability and improves FS of isometric elbow flexion contractions in young and older female adults. Hypotheses: MIT would increase corticospinal excitability and improve isometric elbow flexion FS, and the enhancement would be greater in older females compared to young females Methods: Young (19-35 years old) and older (65-90 years old) participants were randomly assigned to a MIT group or control group that were tested in a similar block fashion. Participants performed isometric elbow flexion contractions at 10% maximal voluntary contraction prior to and following MIT (training group) or no training (control group; viewed documentary for similar time). Elbow flexion contractions were performed in blocks 1,3 and 5. M¬IT or documentary viewing was performed in blocks 2 and 4. Motor evoked potentials (MEP) elicited by transcranial magnetic stimulation were collected within the last five seconds of each submaximal contraction. Results: 13 older (n=7 MIT) and 22 young participants (n=11 MIT) completed the study. The MIT group had a higher CV of force than the control group in block one (p=0.02), and FS improved in the older group with MIT in block three (p=0.008). There were no significant findings for MEPs (p>0.05). For visual (p=0.05) and global (p=0.04) motor imagery ratings from the MIT blocks, young had higher motor imagery ratings than older females. There was a significant negative relationship in older females between global (r=-0.715, r²=0.5, p=0.035) and visual (r=-0.773, r²=0.60, p=0.021) motor imagery ratings from block 2 and CV of force in block 3, suggesting a higher global and visual motor imagery score was associated with increased ability to produce steady contraction in older females. Conclusion: Older females have the ability to undertake MIT and improves FS.

Year: 2023

description: PTSD is a neurological disorder afflicting thousands of individuals worldwide. We sought to examine a relationship between trauma-induced hypervigilance, such as that observed in individuals with PTSD, and a tendency towards binge-like eating. A substantial amount of research has been conducted investigating the effects of stress on eliciting binge-like eating; however, there has not yet been any investigation conducted on the effects of binge-like eating and intermittent fasting on promoting stress-related behaviors. We subjected C57Bl/6J mice to a five-day biweekly binge-feeding cycle, preceded by a 24-hour food restriction, after which they continued to binge intermittently while undergoing anxiogenic behavior testing. We found that intermittent fasting demonstrably augmented anxiogenic behavior, while binge-like eating had little significant effect. Following these tests, we examined the effects of single prolonged stress (SPS) exposure in TH:Cre mice (on a C57Bl/6J background) on promoting binge-like eating activity. Additionally, we compared the effects of the SPS with direct excitation of the locus coeruleus (LC) using the hM3D(Gq) designer receptor and its designer drug ligand C21. SPS exposed and C21 injected animals both showed a heightened propensity towards hypophagia, hypervigilance, and apprehensiveness when compared with unstressed C57Bl/6J animals. We concluded that SPS and C21 injection promoted anxiogenic behavior in mice, which led to alterations in feeding behavior.
Global pointwise decay estimates for defocusing radial nonlinear wave equations

description: We prove global pointwise decay estimates for a class of defocusing semilinear wave equations in $n=3$ dimensions restricted to spherical symmetry. The technique is based on a conformal transformation and a suitable choice of the mapping adjusted to the nonlinearity. As a result we obtain a pointwise bound on the solutions for arbitrarily large Cauchy data, provided the solutions exist globally. The decay rates are identical with those for small data and hence seem to be optimal. A generalization beyond the spherical symmetry is suggested.

description: The next generation of ground-based gamma-ray observatories, such as e.g. CTA, will consist of about 50-100 telescopes, and cameras with in total ~100000 to ~200000 channels. The telescopes of the core array will cover and effective area of ~ 1 km2 and will be possibly accompanied by a large halo of smaller telescopes spread over about 10 km2 . In order to make maximum use of the stereoscopic approach, a very flexible inter-telescope trigger scheme is needed which allows to couple telescopes that located up to ~1 km apart. The development of a cost effective readout scheme for the camera signals exhibits a major technological challenge. Here we present ideas on a new asynchronous inter-telescope trigger scheme, and a very cost-effective, high-bandwidth frontend to backend data transfer system, both based on standard Ethernet components and an Ethernet front-end interface based on mass production standard FPGAs.

Human Immunodeficiency Viral Infection and Status Epilepticus in United States (2002–2009)
Creators: name: Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institutes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Objective—To determine the association between human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and status epilepticus and compare the outcomes of patients with status epilepticus with or without underlying HIV infection. Methods—Patients with primary diagnosis of status epilepticus (cases) and status asthmaticus (controls) were identified from the 2002–2009 Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) which is representative of all admissions in the United States. We performed logistic regression analysis adjusting for age, gender, comorbid conditions, including hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM), renal failure, alcohol use, and opportunistic infections. We compared the in hospital outcomes among patients admitted with status epilepticus in strata defined by underlying HIV infection. Results—The rate of concurrent status epilepticus and HIV has increased over the last 7 years in hospitalized patients with status epilepticus in United States (0.14%–0.27% p<0.0001). The HIV infection was significantly associated with status epilepticus (odds ratio [OR]: 2.2; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.8–2.6; p<0.0001)) after adjusting for age, gender, opportunistic infections, and cardiovascular risk factors. The inhospital mortality was significantly higher while discharge with none or minimal disability was significantly lower in status epilepticus patients with underlying HIV infection (17.5% vs. 9.9%, p<0.0001) and (50.4% vs. 63.3%, p<0.0001), respectively. Conclusions—Our study suggests that there is a direct association between HIV infection and status epilepticus. The proportion of patients admitted with concurrent status epilepticus and HIV infections is increasing and such patients have higher rates of poor discharge outcomes

description: We propose an algorithm to estimate the common density $s$ of a stationary process $X_1,...,X_n$. We suppose that the process is either $β$ or $τ$-mixing. We provide a model selection procedure based on a generalization of Mallows' $C_p$ and we prove oracle inequalities for the selected estimator under a few prior assumptions on the collection of models and on the mixing coefficients. We prove that our estimator is adaptive over a class of Besov spaces, namely, we prove that it achieves the same rates of convergence as in the i.i.d framework.
title: Labrador Inuit and the World's Columbian Exposition
Creators: name: Markham, Nigel
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2020

description: This thesis concerns itself with the experience of Labrador Inuit who attended the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago (1893) as part of the ethnological exhibit known as the “Esquimaux Village” and with issues surrounding their representation. Its main argument is that the exposition’s administrators, its scientific advisors, the concession’s promoters, the journalists who wrote about the fair and the people who attended it, accepted broadly similar conceptual notions about the people on display in ethnological exhibits. Those notions did not reflect accurate representations of who those people were. Instead, they were based on concepts of who the people were thought to be in the context of a long and complex history of colonialism. Like others on display in ethnological exhibits at the fair, Labrador Inuit were cast in the mold of the ”primitive” and promoted as living vestiges of an earlier stage of human evolution. These constructs were, of course, fictions that obscured more than they revealed. As the events in Chicago demonstrate, however lopsided the relationships between colonized and colonizing peoples, fictions deployed to justify colonial relations were distortions and misrepresentations that often broke down in the presence of the people themselves. This was the case with Labrador Inuit in Chicago. The divergence between fact and fiction became increasingly evident as Inuit failed to conduct themselves in ways that were expected. Tensions came to a head when Inuit rebelled against their treatment and sought resolution for their problems through the courts. Their capacity to take action in defence of their own interests led to a re-evaluation of who Inuit were, subverting previous assumptions and imaginings.

description: Roaming reactions involving a neutral fragment of a molecule that transiently wanders around another fragment before forming a new bond are intriguing and peculiar pathways for molecular rearrangement. Such reactions can occur for example upon double ionization of small organic molecules, and have recently sparked much scientific interest. We have studied the dynamics of the H$_2$-roaming reaction leading to the formation of H$_3^+$ after two-photon double ionization of ethanol and 2-aminoethanol, using an XUV-UV pump-probe scheme. For ethanol, we find dynamics similar to previous studies employing different pump-probe schemes, indicating the independence of the observed dynamics from the method of ionization and the photon energy of the disruptive probe pulse. Surprisingly, we do not observe a kinetic isotope effect in ethanol-D$_6$, in contrast to previous experiments on methanol where such an effect was observed. This distinction indicates fundamental differences in the energetics of the reaction pathways as compared to the methanol molecule. The larger number of possible roaming pathways compared to methanol complicates the analysis considerably. In contrast to previous studies, we additionally analyze a broad range of dissociative ionization products, which feature distinct dynamics from that of H$_{3}^{+}$ and allow initial insight into the action of the disruptive UV-probe pulse.

description: Excerpts from the Preface: The bibliography, Economics of Forestry, 1940-1947, was issued in 1950 by the U. S. Department of Agriculture Library in cooperation with the Charles Lathrop Pack Forestry Foundation, the Forest Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, and the Society of American Foresters. Subsequently that Library issued a supplement to the bibliography covering the years 1948-1952. Because of the continuing need for an up-to-date bibliography in the field of forest economics, the School of Forestry of the University of California has now compiled a companion supplement to cover the years 1953 and 1954. In order to assure that this bibliography will be a companion to its two predecessors, the same style of citing references and system of abbreviations have been followed as nearly as possible. In addition, the same table of contents found in the U.S.D.A. Library Supplement has been used in this supplement to provide additional continuity between the three bibliographies. The compilation was done by the School of Forestry with the help of the General Library, University of California, Berkeley, while the printing and distribution was handled by the Division of Forest Economics Research, Forest Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture.

description: We present spatio-temporal characteristics of spreading depolarizations (SD) in two experimental systems: retracting SD wave segments observed with intrinsic optical signals in chicken retina, and spontaneously occurring re-entrant SD waves that repeatedly spread across gyrencephalic feline cortex observed by laser speckle flowmetry. A mathematical framework of reaction-diffusion systems with augmented transmission capabilities is developed to explain the emergence and transitions between these patterns. Our prediction is that the observed patterns are reaction-diffusion patterns controlled and modulated by weak nonlocal coupling. The described spatio-temporal characteristics of SD are of important clinical relevance under conditions of migraine and stroke. In stroke, the emergence of re-entrant SD waves is believed to worsen outcome. In migraine, retracting SD wave segments cause neurological symptoms and transitions to stationary SD wave patterns may cause persistent symptoms without evidence from noninvasive imaging of infarction.
The fate of the somatotype: examining the afterlives of a body classification system
Creators: name: Ramachandran, Aishwarya
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: While the story of the “somatotype” really begins with William H. Sheldon, an initially well-respected American psychologist who first outlined his system of body-classification during the 1930s, this dissertation project picks up in the years following his ostracization by the broader academic community following WWII. Sheldon was criticized for his eugenic and racist views, for defending the notion of a biological connection between physique and temperament and for touting the supremacy of hereditary influences on human behavior in his somatotyping research. Knowing this backstory, one may wonder—how has the use of the somatotype managed to retain interest (and even thrive) throughout the 20th century and into the present? The focus of this dissertation is an attempt to answer this question. I construct four historical case studies, three of which examine how Sheldon’s colleagues successfully revived the somatotype in disparate areas including pediatric medicine, psychology, psychiatry, anthropology, physical education, and sport science. In a fourth macro-level case study, I use science mapping techniques and archival approaches to explore the evolving interest in and international reach of somatotyping research from its inception to the present moment, broadly considering the relationships among groups of somatotype researchers and publications in different research arenas and geographical contexts. Throughout this dissertation, I employ the notion of historical ontology to examine how the somatotype was used to define personhood or identity across various research contexts and time periods. I investigate how it was introduced into new areas of research and application through implicit and explicit acts of “boundary-making,” a process whereby scientists draw boundaries between science and non-science to make claims for intellectual authority and legitimacy. The somatotype was used to define and delineate the bounds of “normal” physiques, generating specific understandings of human evolution and variation, and fostering discriminatory beliefs around race, social class, intelligence, and athleticism (among other complex, multifaceted, and historically contingent human traits). I illustrate how, despite persistent and well-founded criticisms of its racist and eugenic foundations and implications, academics across the globe have continued to use somatotypes, often uncritically, to measure, classify, and organize groups of people in biologically deterministic ways.

description: Chiral perturbation theory in the two-flavour sector allows one to analyse Green functions in QCD in a limit where the strange quark mass is considered to be large in comparison to the external momenta and to the light quark masses. In this framework, the pertinent low-energy constants depend on the value of the heavy quark masses. In a recent article, we have worked out, for the coupling constants which occur at order p^4, the dependence on the strange quark mass at two-loop accuracy. Here, we provide analogous relations for some of the couplings which are relevant at order p^6. To keep the calculations somewhat reasonable in size, we consider only those 28 couplings which enter the Green functions built from vector- and axial-vector quark currents in the chiral limit. This provides the matching for 27 linear combinations of the 28 couplings.

First aid for the mind : exploring mental health support among first responders in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia
Creators: name: Peak, Adriane Charlene
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: In Canada, emergencies are primarily dealt with by First Responders, which includes: firefighters, paramedics, RCMP and police, search and rescue responders, 911 dispatchers, as well as other trained groups in first aid, trauma or disaster response. These individuals are tasked with attending to emergency calls and transporting victims to the next level of care. First Responders, on the frontline of trauma, witness human suffering through accidents and injuries. Their frequent exposure to the victims and survivors of traumatic events can affect their psychological health, causing a variety of conditions from vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, moral injury, Occupational Stress Injuries (OSI) to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (Dekker 2013, viii). This can lead to changes in psychological and physiological health among First Responders who experience empathy for those who have been injured and also feel responsible for their care. Despite growing attention to mental health in North America, there has been a lack of attention surrounding mental health of First Responders, and the stigma of seeking help has greatly impacted their behaviors and support (Haugen et al. 2017, 219). Many institutional, psychological and cultural aspects have created an environment where support systems are often inadequate (Dekker 2013, viii). Support has been particularly strained in the context of the worldwide pandemic associated with the spread of COVID-19. This research examined the challenges of mental health support for First Responders, including how COVID-19 affected these issues. Drawing on community-based research methods and conducting one-on-one interviews with individuals with lived experience, the objective of this research was to better understand barriers to mental health support for First Responders and how to improve access to available supports. The insights gained from this project validate the iv need for improvements to accessibility of mental health support for First Responders. This project has provided valuable contributions to help strengthen these support networks by creating opportunities for access to mental health resources and training. The ultimate goal of this research was to support the remedial and future work needed to close the gap in mental health services available and foster open communication between First Responders and their communities.

description: LS 5039/RX J1826.2-1450 is one of the few High Mass X-ray binary systems from which radio and high energy TeV emission has been observed. Moreover, variability of the TeV emission with orbital period was detected. We investigate the hard X-ray (25 - 200keV) spectral and timing properties of the source with the monitoring IBIS/ISGRI instrument on-board the INTEGRAL satellite. We present the analysis of INTEGRAL observations for a total of about 3 Msec exposure time, including both public data and data from the Key Programme. We search for flux and spectral variability related to the orbital phase. The source is observed to emit from 25 up to 200 keV and the emission is concentrated around inferior conjunction. Orbital variability in the hard X-ray band is detected and established to be in phase with the orbitally modulated TeV emission observed with H.E.S.S. For this energy range we determine an average flux for the inferior conjunction phase interval of $(3.54 \pm 2.30) \times 10^{-11}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$, and a flux upper limit for the superior conjunction phase interval of $1.45 \times 10^{-11}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ (90% conf. level respectively). The spectrum for the inferior conjunction phase interval follows a power law with an index $Γ= 2.0^{+0.2}_{-0.2} $ (90% conf. level).

title: Utility of dairy digestate as a greenhouse fertilizer
Creators: name: Manuel, Vanessa G.

description: Newfoundland and Labrador is currently unable to satisfy the food demand for the population of the province mainly due to climatic and geologic restrictions. Controlled environment agriculture requires consistent conditions and a cost-effective supply of inputs, principally nutrients. Dairy, as the main agricultural industry in the province, does produce significant waste-streams which contains significant nutrient concentrations. Therefore, I proposed the application of dairy digestate to soil systems under controlled greenhouse conditions to grow high value crops in Newfoundland to increase the food self-sufficiency of the province. I assessed the utility of local farm soil as a growth substrate. This study quantified the nitrogen, phosphorus and other nutrients in locally available dairy digestate, assessed nutrient budget within a soil system, and thus evaluated nutrient uptake and the quality of spent soil when dairy digestate was employed as a fertilizer to lettuce crops under controlled greenhouse conditions. It was hypothesized that dairy digestate is a suitable source of fertilizer due to its high nutrient content and that application to local soils allows greenhouse production. This study thus provides novel information pertaining to the future of agriculture and food self-sufficiency in Newfoundland, bridging the gap between the current restrictions on crop growth in Newfoundland and local options for nutrient re-use for year round agricultural production.

description: Numerical simulations of planets embedded in protoplanetary gaseous discs are a precious tool for studying the planetary migration ; however, some approximations have to be made. Most often, the selfgravity of the gas is neglected. In that case, it is not clear in the literature how the material inside the Roche lobe of the planet should be taken into account. Here, we want to address this issue by studying the influence of various methods so far used by different authors on the migration rate. We performed high-resolution numerical simulations of giant planets embedded in discs. We compared the migration rates with and without gas selfgravity, testing various ways of taking the circum-planetary disc (CPD) into account. Different methods lead to significantly different migration rates. Adding the mass of the CPD to the perturbing mass of the planet accelerates the migration. Excluding a part of the Hill sphere is a very touchy parameter that may lead to an artificial suppression of the type III, runaway migration. In fact, the CPD is smaller than the Hill sphere. We recommend excluding no more than a 0.6 Hill radius and using a smooth filter. Alternatively, the CPD can be given the acceleration felt by the planet from the rest of the protoplanetary disc. The gas inside the Roche lobe of the planet should be very carefully taken into account in numerical simulations without any selfgravity of the gas. The entire Hill sphere should not be excluded. The method used should be explicitly given. However, no method is equivalent to computing the full selfgravity of the gas.

description: We continue work on the connection between world sheet representation of the planar phi^3 theory and string formation. The present article, like the earlier work, is based on the existence of a solitonic solution on the world sheet, and on the zero mode fluctuations around this solution. The main advance made in this paper is the removal of the cutoff and the transition to the continuum limit on the world sheet. The result is an action for the modes whose energies remain finite in this limit (light modes). The expansion of this action about a dense background of graphs on the world sheet leads to the formation of a string.

description: ‘What concerns Australia as a nation in the making is the character of the ingredients from which she must draw her human material’, wrote Millions Magazine, the periodical of the all-male voluntary association, the ‘Millions Club’, in 1920. Formed in Sydney in 1912, the Millions Club came to occupy a prominent if contested place in the political life of New South Wales in the 1920s. Its name was an allegory for national development and its corollary for liberals and the federal Nationalist Party – white immigration, which it promoted through civic events and in juvenile migration schemes. Members saw their club as much a space of informal conviviality as they understood it as an important tool of national development. This was a site where the Australian nation and national development was imagined in liberal, middle-class terms, and the club hoped to engender that vision in other Australian men. Millions Magazine has suggested that certain kinds of men and women were both the agents and embodiments of that particular vision.
This thesis examines the ideas of four liberal men who shaped political and intellectual life at the Millions Club between 1918-1932. In so doing, it explores how ideas about manhood were imagined in conjunction with the liberal nation-building project by the physical culturalist, Harald Bjelke-Petersen (1880-1936); the realtor and president of the club, Sir Arthur Rickard (1868-1948); the Protestant minister, Thomas Elias Ruth (1875-1956); and the radio engineer, Sir Ernest Fisk (1886-1965). If 1918-1932 was a period in which national development was understood in different ways by different political ideologies, liberals among them, this thesis examines how that project was imagined in gendered terms and how particular ideas about manhood were developed in response to a number of historical and political conditions. This thesis is not just a study of manhood, then, it is a study of how ideals of manhood were also responses to dilemmas for the project of liberal nation-building such as the trauma of war, class conflict, and the spectre of revolution. Moreover, while ideals of middle-class manhood were often presented as stable and uncontested as the foundation of a liberal political and social order, the case studies in thesis reveal how they emerged with different inflections and modulations to both resolve particular dilemmas and in response to other ideals of manhood linked to different ideological configurations of nation-building, such as working-class, radical nationalist manhood. Building on existing histories that explore questions of gender and masculinity after the First World War and into the 1920s, this thesis reveals some of the ways ideals of middle-class manhood were shaped in this turbulent political and cultural context, and which carried particular implications given the liberal nation-building project underway at this time.

description: In 1617 the Dominicans established a church and a priory (where friars resided) in Mōrōṃbim. [Gabriel de Saldanha, 1898 : História de Goa – Politica e Arqueólógica, vol. 2, 77] The church was dedicated to Santa Barbara; and it was designated as the parish church of Mōrōṃbi, and the village was named as the Santa Barbara parish. Historical sources are very clear that it was distinct from the parish church of Santa Cruz, which was dedicated to the Holy Cross; for instance Filippe Nery Xavier lists them separately as Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz.

description: Shot noise encodes additional information not directly inferable from simple electronic transport measurements. Previous measurements in atomic-scale metal junctions at cryogenic temperatures have shown suppression of the shot noise at particular conductance values. This suppression demonstrates that transport in these structures proceeds via discrete quantum channels. Using a high frequency technique, we simultaneously acquire noise data and conductance histograms in Au junctions at room temperature and ambient conditions. We observe noise suppression at up to three conductance quanta, with possible indications of current-induced local heating and $1/f$ noise in the contact region at high biases. These measurements demonstrate the quantum character of transport at room temperature at the atomic scale. This technique provides an additional tool for studying dissipation and correlations in nanodevices.

description: Compared with other fermentation processes in food industry, cocoa bean fermentation is uncontrolled and not standardized. A detailed mechanistic understanding can therefore be relevant for cocoa bean quality control. Starting from an existing mathematical model of cocoa bean fermentation we analyse five additional biochemical mechanisms derived from the literature. These mechanisms, when added to the baseline model either in isolation or in combination, were evaluated in terms of their capacity to describe experimental data. In total, we evaluated 32 model variants on 23 fermentation datasets. We interpret the results from two perspectives: (1) success of the potential mechanism, (2) discrimination of fermentation protocols based on estimated parameters. The former provides insight in the fermentation process itself. The latter opens an avenue towards reverse-engineering empirical conditions from model parameters. We find support for two mechanisms debated in the literature: consumption of fructose by lactic acid bacteria and production of acetic acid by yeast. Furthermore, we provide evidence that model parameters are sensitive to differences in the cultivar, temperature control and usage of steel tanks compared with wooden boxes. Our results show that mathematical modelling can provide an alternative to standard chemical fingerprinting in the interpretation of fermentation data.
