description: We observed the young pulsar J1357--6429 with the {\it Chandra} and {\it XMM-Newton} observatories. The pulsar spectrum fits well a combination of absorbed power-law model ($Γ=1.7\pm0.6$) and blackbody model ($kT=140^{+60}_{-40}$ eV, $R\sim2$ km at the distance of 2.5 kpc). Strong pulsations with pulsed fraction of $42%\pm5%$, apparently associated with the thermal component, were detected in 0.3--1.1 keV. Surprisingly, pulsed fraction at higher energies, 1.1--10 keV, appears to be smaller, $23%\pm4%$. The small emitting area of the thermal component either corresponds to a hotter fraction of the neutron star (NS) surface or indicates inapplicability of the simplistic blackbody description. The X-ray images also reveal a pulsar-wind nebula (PWN) with complex, asymmetric morphology comprised of a brighter, compact PWN surrounded by the fainter, much more extended PWN whose spectral slopes are $Γ=1.3\pm0.3$ and $Γ=1.7\pm0.2$, respectively. The extended PWN with the observed flux of $\sim7.5\times10^{-13}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$ is a factor of 10 more luminous then the compact PWN. The pulsar and its PWN are located close to the center of the extended TeV source HESS J1356--645, which strongly suggests that the VHE emission is powered by electrons injected by the pulsar long ago. The X-ray to TeV flux ratio, $\sim0.1$, is similar to those of other relic PWNe. We found no other viable candidates to power the TeV source. A region of diffuse radio emission, offset from the pulsar toward the center of the TeV source, could be synchrotron emission from the same relic PWN rather than from the supernova remnant.

description: Surface water in rivers as a major component of water resources is susceptible to influences posed by natural factors besides anthropogenic activities. However, different from anthropogenic activities, the effects of natural factors are often beyond human control. This thesis aimed to understand how riverine water quality responds to hydro-meteorological conditions, especially flow and precipitation. The investigation of the hydro-meteorological response of riverine water quality was conducted through statistically analyzing hydro-meteorological variables and eleven water quality data collected from three rivers in Alberta, Canada, and their river basins during the time period of 1988 - 2014. Both flow and water quality parameters, in general, showed significant seasonal variation in the rivers. The dependence of water quality on flow was investigated in three flow regimes, which were formulated based on flow magnitude. The water quality parameters were categorized into eight groups using cluster analysis based on their response pattern to flow. The results suggest that water quality parameters respond to flow differently under different flow regimes due to their different physical nature and their different contribution sources. To investigate the meteorological response of riverine water quality, the linkages between river flow and precipitation and between river water quality and precipitation were focused. The results showed the significant dependency of river flow as well as most of the water quality parameters on cumulative antecedent average areal precipitation (AAP). Furthermore, the qualitative response of water quality to the three categories of cumulative antecedent AAP, which were classified according to its magnitude, was observed. In general, a higher amount of precipitation, which is associated with a higher flow, would results in the decrease of some water quality parameters by diluting or the increase of some water quality parameters by mobilizing and transporting pollutant into rivers. Overall, similar water quality responses to flow and precipitation were confirmed. Therefore, all the results obtained in this thesis suggest that riverine water quality management, especially for the rivers whose variation in flow is primarily driven by precipitation, should take hydro-meteorological condition into the consideration.

description: It is widely known that all environmental alterations have an interconnected role which, sooner or later, directly or indirectly affects the health of humanity. However, the fundamental inactivity of politics and economy in countering this drift makes things worse, with the growing risk of triggering brutal and irreversible changes in the Earth-system. Ironically, the global health emergency has shown that rapid and radical choices can generate immediate positive effects in environmental terms: think of the drastic reduction in climate-altering emissions caused by the lockdown. Thus, such forced response indicates, perhaps, the way to more reflective strategies able to teach us (again) to live in harmony with nature.

description: Environmental pollution is one of the major problems facing humanity. Bacteria are capable of removing pollutants from the environment through their metabolic activities. This works for organic pollutants, but metals inhibit the degradation process. Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes KF707 is a bacterium that is resistant to metals and is able to degrade pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls. In this thesis I present how interactions between the bacterium, its environment and metals affect the bacterium’s physiology and metabolism of biphenyl. Chemical interactions with environmental components affect the toxicity of metals towards bacteria. By examining the tolerance of Pseudomonas species towards copper and aluminium in different media compositions I found that metal bioavailability and carbon source quality had a strong influence on the amount of metal they could withstand. Building on these data, I used metabolomics to understand how metals interfere with organic pollutant degradation. By quantifying the small molecules used and produced by the bacterial cell I was able to determine that metal toxicity is exacerbated by the oxidative stress of metabolizing an organic pollutant. P. pseudoalcaligenes KF707 can swim towards biphenyl but it was unknown how. By deleting genes that were expected to be involved in energy-taxis, a process that allows bacteria to swim to metabolizable carbon sources, I found that this was not how KF707 swims towards biphenyl. I did discover that some unexpected genes were involved in energy-taxis and also that the primary gene for this behavior, Aer, is actually a family of receptors with variable phylogenetic distribution in the genus Pseudomonas. These results provide new insight into the interactions between a bacterium and the nutrients and stressors in their environment.

description: Once confined Art and Architecture, which for a long time did guide us, in the autonomous spaces of aesthetics, critique, the market, disputes among connoisseurs, the advent of the virus seems now to induce unpredictable changes even in thinking new places for living. But a quick look at the contemporary world astride the virus, flying like the Baron of Münchhausen on a cannonball, reveals that the virus has already been here, that crises, catastrophes, plagues and wars have always oriented the production of human landscape; and presses us on reconnecting the broken ‘threads’ of an interweaved design, on being not only subjects ‘in’ the nature but, ‘with’ the nature, inhabitants of a common atmosphere, of a single landscape.

description: Efficiency is a critical consideration in the design of turbines. A computational study has been conducted, using steady and unsteady three-dimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes computations, to improve the maximum efficiency of crossflow hydro turbines that are typically used for small-scale, low-head remote power systems. Although these turbines are simple to design and manufacture at low cost, a longstanding technical problem is their lower maximum efficiency than their more advanced counterparts, such as Pelton and Francis. Despite an inherently simple design, the flow field inside the crossflow turbine is highly complex. Since internal flow physics govern the turbine performance, major emphasis is put on understanding the important performance limiting flow mechanisms as an aid for improving the efficiency. The study follows a direct design method, which involves defining the turbine configurations, computing the flow field, and modifying the design by synthesizing the information obtained from the computed flow fields to improve the design. Toward this goal, computations were performed on two small-scale turbines whose performance was experimentally determined, one with 69% efficiency and the other with 88% efficiency. The findings of the simulations were synthesized to identify the key design problem and define an optimum turbine configuration. Then detailed computations were performed on varying turbine configurations for establishing the qualitative and quantitative links between the geometric parameters and the key flow features and understanding their roles on turbine performance. A critical part of the analysis involves matching two main components, the nozzle and the impeller, in order to achieve higher efficiency. For the nozzle design, a simple two-dimensional analytical model was developed with the intention of converting all the turbine head into kinetic energy at the impeller inlet and computing approximately the nozzle geometrical parameters as a guide for computationally intensive simulations. Systematic computations were performed on a realistic design problem, which is the matching of the nozzle and the impeller designs in the reference turbines mentioned above. The results showed that crossflow turbines can achieve efficiencies more than 90%, computed efficiency of which is a significant improvement in the existing design. An example turbine design with 91% efficiency has been achieved for the original 69% efficient turbine.

description: Single file translocation of a homopolymer through an active channel under the presence of a driving force is studied using Langevin dynamics simulation. It is shown that a channel with sticky walls and oscillating width could lead to significantly more efficient translocation as compared to a static channel that has a width equal to the mean width of the oscillating pore. The gain in translocation exhibits a strong dependence on the stickiness of the pore, which could allow the polymer translocation process to be highly selective.

The relations between subjective well-being, psychopathy, and the NEO big five personality traits
Creators: name: Love, Ashley Brett
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Psychopathy is a personality disorder characterized by the manipulative use of others, callousness, shallow affect, lack of empathy, pathological lying, egocentricity, superficial charm, and impulsive behaviour. The present study investigated the relation between psychopathy and subjective well-being in 436 undergraduates. Subjective well-being was defined as high levels of positive affect and life satisfaction and low levels of negative affect. Participants rated their levels of subjective well-being using the Oxford Happiness Inventory, Satisfaction With Life Scale, Faces Scales (assessing both momentary and overall happiness), Subjective Happiness Scale, Scale of Eudaimonic Well-Being, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, and Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale. Psychopathy was assessed using two self report measures: The Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scales (LSRP) and the Self-Report Psychopathy Scale III R-12 (SRP-III). Personality was measured using the 60 item NEO Five-Factor Inventory. Psychopathy was associated with high levels of depression and negative affect and low levels of life satisfaction, happiness, and positive affect. Scores on the two psychopathy measures (LSRP and SRP-III) accounted for significant portions of the variance in depression (16.6%), negative affect (18.5%), life satisfaction (13.8%), happiness (6.1-20%) and positive affect (11.3%). However, psychopathy failed to account for variance in these measures of well-being above and beyond the variance accounted for by the Big Five personality traits. These results are consistent with the position that personality disorders can be conceptualized as a constellation of extreme levels of normative personality traits. The factor structure of psychopathy was examined using confirmatory factor analysis and the data supported the two-factor model of psychopathy over the more recent four-factor model. This study represents one of the first attempts to investigate subjective well-being in individuals with psychopathy. Implications and directions for future research were also discussed.

description: The particle-scale dynamics of granular materials have commonly been characterized by the self-diffusion coefficient $D$. However, this measure discards the collective and topological information known to be an important characteristic of particle trajectories in dense systems. Direct measurement of the entanglement of particle space-time trajectories can be obtained via the topological braid entropy $\Sbraid$, which has previously been used to quantify mixing efficiency in fluid systems. Here, we investigate the utility of $\Sbraid$ in characterizing the dynamics of a dense, driven granular material at packing densities near the static jamming point $ϕ_J$. From particle trajectories measured within a two-dimensional granular material, we typically observe that $\Sbraid$ is well-defined and extensive. However, for systems where $ϕ\gtrsim 0.79$, we find that $\Sbraid$ (like $D$) is not well-defined, signifying that these systems are not ergodic on the experimental timescale. Both $\Sbraid$ and $D$ decrease with either increasing packing density or confining pressure, independent of the applied boundary condition. The related braiding factor provides a means to identify multi-particle phenomena such as collective rearrangements. We discuss possible uses for this measure in characterizing granular systems.

description: Abstract While climate change skepticism has been studied fairly extensively in the literature, few use cross-country comparisons with cultural explanations. Furthermore, few use class as an explanatory variable. This thesis fills these gaps in the literature and uses the theories of Inglehart and Bourdieu in an attempt to better explain climate change skepticism. Using data from the 2010 International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) survey and the 2012 US General Social Survey, I analyze the effects of political orientation, social class and other social variables on climate change skepticism across Canada, the United States and Norway. The key findings are: 1. Political orientation is most important in the USA and least important in Norway. 2. The interaction between education and political orientation is not observed in Canada and Norway. 3. In terms of class, technocrats are found to be more skeptical about climate change than socio-cultural specialists across all three countries

description: Achieving authentic Standard English pronunciation is a challenging endeavor for Chinese high school and college students as they grapple with the influence of their native language. Many Chinese students tend to speak English with discernible Chinese accents due to their predominant use of their mother tongue over the Target Language (TL). The lack of emphasis on English pronunciation in China's education system, spanning from primary school to college, further perpetuates this issue, leading to a noticeable gap in pronunciation quality.
Research has shown a strong correlation between individuals' pronunciation and their value systems, attitudes, and socio-schemata Despite various studies highlighting contributing factors, the prevailing indifference toward pronunciation persists among both teachers and students.
This paper seeks to explore the factors impacting pronunciation acquisition, a pivotal component of second language acquisition (SLA). It commences by discussing the author's initial beliefs and observations, followed by an examination of relevant literature and emerging insights. The core of the research revolves around identifying the factors influencing individuals' pronunciation acquisition. The paper concludes by proposing potential strategies to address this prevalent issue and improve English pronunciation among Chinese learners.

description: The phase structure of the Polyakov loop-extended chiral quark-meson model is explored in a nonperturbative approach, beyond a mean-field approximation, in the presence of a magnetic field. We show that by including meson fluctuations one cannot resolve the qualitative discrepancy on the dependence of the crossover transition temperature in a non-zero magnetic field between effective model predictions and recent lattice results (arXiv:1111.4956).We compute the curvature of the crossover line in the T - μ_B plane at a non-zero magnetic field and show that the curvature increases with increasing magnetic field. On the basis of QCD inequalities, we also argue that, at least in the large Nc limit, a chiral critical end point and, consequently, a change from crossover to a first-order chiral phase transition are excluded at zero baryon chemical potential and non-zero magnetic field.

description: Protection of creditors is a key objective of financial regulation. Where the protection needs are high, that is, in banking and insurance, regulatory solvency requirements are an instrument to prevent that creditors incur losses on their claims. The current regulatory requirements based on value at risk (V@R) and average value at risk (AV@R) limit the probability of default of financial institutions, but they fail to control the size of recovery on creditors' claims in the case of default. We resolve this failure by developing a novel risk measure, recovery V@R. Our conceptual approach is flexible and allows the construction of general recovery risk measures for various risk management purposes. We provide detailed case studies and applications. We show that recovery risk measures can be used for performance-based management of business divisions of firms and discuss how to calibrate recovery risk measures to historical regulatory standards. Finally, we analyze how recovery risk measures react to the joint distributions of assets and liabilities on firms' balance sheets and compare the corresponding capital requirements with the current regulatory benchmarks based on V@R and AV@R.

description: In this thesis I review and analyze Holliday’s \citeyearpar{KWF} work on the relation between fallibilism and closure. The main concern in Holliday’s work is to show that most major fallibilistic theories of knowledge inherently suffer from at least one problem among a set of problems and that there are essential assumptions that must be added to the models representing this family of theories to solve the problem. I first review the epistemologic theories which are the basis of the study, and later discuss their formalizations and how Holliday’s theory identifies and solves the problem. At the end I evaluate Holliday’s formalization of one of these theories of knowledge, namely Lewis’s theory, and argues that the model presented by Holliday is not entirely faithful to Lewis’s theory and needs to undergo certain changes.

description: Increasing urbanisation in combination with a rise in the frequency and intensity of heavy rain events increase the risk of urban flooding. Flood Regulating Ecosystem Services (FRES) address the capacity of ecosystems to reduce the flood hazard and lower damage. FRES can be estimated by quantification of supply (provision of a service by an ecosystem) and demand (need for specific ES by society). However, FRES for pluvial floods in cities have rarely been studied and there is a gap in research and methods on FRES supply and demand quantification. In this study, we assessed FRES of an urban district in the City of Rostock (Germany) for a one-hour heavy rainfall event using the hydrological model LEAFlood. The hydrological model delivered the FRES supply indicators of soil water retention and water retained by canopies (interception). An intersection of the potential demand (based on indicators of population density, land reference value, monuments and infrastructure) and the modelled surface water depth revealed the actual demand. Comparing the actual demand and supply indicated the budget of FRES to identify unmet demand and supply surplus. Results show highest mean FRES supply on greened areas of forests, woodlands and green areas, resulting in a supply surplus. Whereas, sealed areas (paved surface where water cannot infiltrate into the soil), such as settlements, urban dense areas, traffic areas and industry, have an unmet demand resulting from low supply and relatively high actual demand. With the hydrological model LEAFlood, single landscape elements on the urban scale can be evaluated regarding their FRES and interception can be considered. Both are important for FRES assessment in urban areas. In contrast to flood risk maps, the study of FRES gives the opportunity to take into account the contribution of nature to flood regulation benefits for the socio-economic system. The visualisation of FRES supply and demand balance helps urban planners to identify hotspots and reduce potential impacts of urban pluvial flooding with ecosystem-based adaptations.
Fear of falling, proprioception and spinal reflex modulation

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Clinical and experimental research has demonstrated that the emotional experience of fear impairs postural stability in humans. This is problematic considering that fear-related postural instability contributes to a greater likelihood of an individual suffering a fall that can result in devastating physical and financial consequences. For this reason, the research presented in this thesis was performed to clarify the current description of the postural behaviour observed among those who experience fear and/or anxiety and to investigate how human proprioceptive information is utilized by the central nervous system to explain anxiety-induced changes in postural control. Over a series of four consecutive studies, elevated surface heights were used to assess the within-subject effect of fear and anxiety on changes in static posturography, spinal reflex excitability as well as changes in mechanically (TEP) and electrically (SEP) evoked somatosensory potentials. The results of the first study demonstrated that the changes in postural control that occurred with increased surface height were dependent upon the degree of fear of falling experienced by the participants. The results of the second study demonstrated that soleus tendon reflex (STR) excitability could be facilitated during states of height-induced fear and anxiety, without any accompanying changes at the level of the somatosensory cortex. The results of the third study failed to demonstrate that descending pre-synaptic inhibition influences soleus Hoffmann reflex (SOL H-reflex) excitability during states of height-induced fear and anxiety. As such, the fourth study in this thesis was designed to test the effectiveness of using visual feedback to overcome the biomechanical confounds that limited the interpretation of changes in static posturography measures and SOL H-reflex excitability observed in the previous three studies. Taken together, the results of these four studies extend the current understanding of how posture changes during states of height-induced fear and anxiety and sheds new light on the mechanisms that facilitate the changes in spinal reflex excitability and cortical control of posture during such circumstances.

description: Covering: up to early 2022 Maleidrides are a family of polyketide-based dimeric natural products isolated from fungi. Many maleidrides possess significant bioactivities, making them attractive pharmaceutical or agrochemical lead compounds. Their unusual biosynthetic pathways have fascinated scientists for decades, with recent advances in our bioinformatic and enzymatic understanding providing further insights into their construction. However, many intriguing questions remain, including exactly how the enzymatic dimerisation, which creates the diverse core structure of the maleidrides, is controlled. This review will explore the literature from the initial isolation of maleidride compounds in the 1930s, through the first full structural elucidation in the 1960s, to the most recent in vivo, in vitro, and in silico analyses.

description: Effective recruitment of teachers is a vital part of school leadership. Currently, international school leaders lack theoretical guidance to explain why teachers may accept one job offer while rejecting another. This study examines the decision making of teachers when choosing to accept or reject a position with an international school. The research questions guiding this study are: 1. What factors do teachers attend to when making decisions to accept or reject offers from international schools? 2. What processes do teachers use when making decisions to accept or reject offers from international schools? Twenty teachers examining job offers participated in this study. Each of these teachers participated in a think aloud interview while they considered one or more jobs offers. Verbal Protocol Analysis methods were used both to conduct these interviews and to analyze the resulting data. These teachers were found to attend most to their personal well-being, financial compensation, professional growth opportunities, and school quality. Teachers used both rational and intuitive evaluation approaches to evaluate offers. Approaches to gathering more information about the offering school and community proved important for teacher decision making.

description: We demonstrate the efficient transfer of population from the upper to the lower inversion level within the rotational ground state of para-ND (Formula presented.). A packet of ND (Formula presented.) molecules is velocity controlled and state selected using a Stark decelerator, and subsequently transferred with (Formula presented.) efficiency using the principles of adiabatic rapid passage. Transitions are induced using microwave chirps both under zero-field conditions as well as in the presence of an electric field to probe (Formula presented.) -resolved transition efficiencies. Simulations of the transfer efficiencies based on the von Neumann equation, taking all hyperfine transitions into account, showed excellent agreement with experimental observations.
Characterization of DmsD - DmsA Twin-Arginine Leader Peptide Binding

subject: Tat

description: The twin-arginine translocase (Tat) is capable of translocating fully folded, cofactor loaded and often multimeric protein complexes across the inner membrane of bacteria. Many substrates of the Tat system are periplasmic respiratory enzymes that contain a range of redox-active prosthetic groups including molybdenum cofactors. Substrates of the Tat system contain a conserved twin-arginine (RR) motif within the signal sequence at the amino terminus of the pre-protein. System specific chaperones or redox enzyme maturation proteins (REMPs) bind to their cognate twin-arginine leader sequence. The Escherichia coli dimethylsulfoxide reductase complex (DmsABC) is a Tat-dependent enzyme. The twin-arginine leader peptide sequence is located at the amino terminus of the DmsA subunit and has been shown to bind to the DmsD REMP. The research within this thesis focused on characterizing the interaction between the DmsD chaperone and its substrate, the DmsA leader (DmsAL) sequence. Sequence analysis of homologous DmsD proteins was used to target conserved amino acid residues for mutation and subsequent variant protein production. Twenty-eight single substitution DmsD variants were expressed, purified and assayed for binding to the DmsAL with a high-throughput immunoblot assay. Many of the DmsD residues that were found to reduce binding to DmsAL localized to a pocket on the surface of an E. coli DmsD structure. The DmsAL binding of these DmsD variants was further characterized using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and the multimeric state(s) of each variant was determined using size-exclusion chromatography and native-PAGE analysis. The DmsAL sequence is composed of four distinct regions. Various portions of the DmsAL peptide were synthesized and ITC was used to investigate binding to DmsD. This was complemented with secondary structure analysis of the DmsAL peptides by circular dichroism spectroscopy. The contiguous hydrophobic region was the smallest portion of the DmsAL peptide able to bind and may form an alpha-helix upon binding to the pocket residues of DmsD. The studies presented within this thesis reveal details of how DmsD binds to the twin-arginine leader of the Tat-substrate of DMSO reductase through defining residues of the interaction site(s) in both DmsD and the DmsAL and describing the thermodynamic parameters of binding.

description: This thesis investigates particular aspects of the structural behaviour of a new form of bridge structure called spatial arch bridge (SAB). SABs are designed to be outstanding pieces of architecture. Due to the enhancement in graphical and structural analysis software, the number of SABs is increasing. However, the complexity of SABs results in certain challenges in structural analysis and design. The unique combination of the arch, hangers, and deck result in the development of out-of-plane loads that significantly influence the structural response. This work focuses on SABs with an inferior deck suspended on flexible hangers (cables) below the arch. Three different spatial arrangements of the arch and deck are developed and analyzed to fill particular gaps in the current state of knowledge. Finite element analysis (FEA) is employed as the main analysis tool. Both linear and nonlinear parametric models are developed to address the objectives of the research. Ratios of primary and secondary geometric variables including arch rise, span, deck reach, and inclination or rotation of the parabolic arch are established to identify the trends in the structural response and to consider the effects of various types of loads. The significance of variability in the bending stiffness of the arch and the deck is studied to determine the optimal combination of these parameters that results in spatial configurations with minimal susceptibility to buckling as a function of particular types of end conditions of the deck. The work describes aspects of advanced composite materials (ACM), such as a low modulus of elasticity and time-dependent material properties in all-composite assemblies, and determines the applicability of commonly used durable structural profiles in SABs taking into account the nonlinear character of the cables and the effect of additional tensioning of the cables. The results of the large number of analyses conducted are summarized in tables accompanied with charts and schematic sketches that are intended to serve as guidelines when analyzing or designing structures similar in nature to the ones described in this work. Design criteria are proposed.

description: We present inelastic neutron scattering measurements and first principles calculations examining the intermetallic marcasite CrSb2. The observed spin wave dispersion implies that the magnetic interactions are strongly one-dimensional with antiferromagnetic chains parallel to the crystalline c-axis. Such low-dimensional excitations are unexpected in a semiconducting intermetallic system. Moreover this material may be further interesting in that the magnetic anisotropy may enhance thermoelectric properties along particular crystallographic directions.

description: The precautionary principle (PP) is an influential principle for making decisions when facing uncertain, but potentially severe, harm. However, there is a persistent disagreement about what the principle entails, exactly. It exists in a multitude of formulations and has potentially conflicting ideas associated with it. Is there even such a thing as ‘the precautionary principle’? This paper analyses the debate between unificationists and pluralists about ‘the PP’, arguing that the debate is hindered by neglecting the question of justification. It introduces reflective equilibrium as a method of justification, and sketches how it could be applied to justify a PP.
