Grounded Strategies : Proposal for Reducing Air Travel Emissions through Behavioural Intervention

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: UBC faculty members continue to fly to meetings and conferences, despite greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions from air travel being one of the primary sources of emissions for the University. This trend can be explained by two key behavioural gaps. First, the dissonance gap refers to the disparity between awareness of air travel emissions on climate change, and actual positive behavioural change.1 UBC faculty members continue to choose air travel as their mode of transportation, despite the significant environmental impacts of air travel. Second, the value-action gap, refers to the divide between pro-environmental behaviours at home and the suppression or reduction of these behaviours when travelling.11 Those who engage in pro-environmental behaviours at home are less likely to continue these behaviours when travelling for leisure, holiday or work.2 While there is research on behavioural incentives and nudges to reduce air travel, virtually no experiments have been conducted on reducing demand for air travel for academic institutions.

description: A few key properties of the World-Wide-Web (WWW) has been established indicating the lack of any characteristic scales for the WWW, both in its topology and in its dynamics. Here, we report an experiment which quantifies another power law describing the dynamical response of the WWW to a Dirac-like perturbation, specifically how the popularity of a web site evolves and relaxes as a function of time, in response to the publication of a notice/advertisement in a newspaper. Following the publication of an interview of the authors by a journalist which contained our URL, we monitored the rate of downloads of our papers and found it to obey a $1/t^b$ power law with exponent $b=0.58\pm 0.03$. This small exponent implies long-term memory and can be rationalized using the concept of persistence, which specifies how long a relaxing dynamical system remains in a neighborhood of its initial configuration.

description: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a multi-organ disorder. It is diagnosed from motor impairments that arise from neurodegeneration in the midbrain. However, the disease begins decades earlier in the gut prior to involvement of the brain. PD is characterized by persistent inflammation, both in the brain and in the periphery in addition to neurodegeneration. Here, I investigate the role of the adaptive immune system in disease pathogenesis and as a driver of prodromal symptoms of PD in both humans and mice. In Chapter 1, I introduce Parkinson’s disease, its pathological hallmarks and the progression of the symptoms, and discuss genetic and environmental influences. Then, I elaborate on the inflammatory phenotypes observed in the disease and recent work describing the role of inflammation in animal models for PD. In Chapter 2, I examine the autoimmune features of Parkinson’s disease from analysis of patients’ blood. I found that approximately 40% of PD patients possess aspects of autoimmunity against α-synuclein. By screening peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients and healthy controls for potential neoantigens derived from α-synuclein protein, I identified two antigenic regions of the protein that elicit an immune response. The immune responses to a specific α-synuclein neo-antigens were linked to unique HLAs that are over-represented in our PD cohort and are associated with PD in genome wide association studies (GWAS). In Chapters 3 and 4, I describe the effects of recapitulating α-synuclein autoimmunity in a humanized mouse strain expressing the HLA allele risk for PD. In Chapter 3, I show that the humoral and cellular immunity is mounted against α-synuclein in the humanized mice, similar to what is observed in PD patients; however, there is no inflammation or immune response toward the brain. In Chapter 4, I show how the autoimmune response to α-synuclein induces inflammation and neurodegeneration in the gut leading to constipation in mice, recapitulating the prodromal aspects of the human disease. Finally, in Chapter 5, I discuss the implications of these findings for α-synuclein autoimmunity in the periphery, gut and brain in Parkinson’s disease. I also elaborate on the implications of these findings for potential future diagnostic screening and treatments for Parkinson’s disease.

description: A skyrmion is a vortex-like spin pattern which has been observed in so-called B20 magnetic systems such as MnSi, (Mn,Fe)Si and a few other metallic magnets as well as in insulating Cu₂OSeO₃. We conduct a comprehensive study of muon spin relaxation (μSR) on bulk single crystals of MnSi and (Mn,Fe)Si, a MBE thin film of MnSi, and a ceramic specimen of Cu₂OSeO₃ in this work. The generic second-order like phase transition indicated by 1/T₁ peaks at T_c in bulk systems is discussed in light of the Brazovskii-type first-order phase transition due to the presence of the DM interaction. We also discuss the different temperature dependences of μ⁺ spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T₁ in bulk pure systems MnSi and Cu₂OSeO₃ and their commonalities in the paramagnetic state and the ordered state due to the DM interaction. Furthermore, we highlight the enhanced 1/T₁ in the skyrmion crystal (SkX) phase compared to neighboring conical phases due to an abundance of low-energy magnetic fluctuations/excitations. This abundance is corroborated by the reduced static order parameter in the SkX phase of MnSi compared to neighboring conical phases, deduced by combining μSR experiments and magnetic field simulations. The intermediate (IM) region above T_c, where the modification of magnetic transition by the DM interaction starts to appear in MnSi, exhibit multi-time scale spin fluctuations, topologically non-trivial Hall resistivity and non-Fermi-liquid exponent of longitudinal resistivity in single-crystal Mn₀.₉Fe₀.₁Si and the MnSi MBE thin film, similar to the magnetically disordered phase of pure MnSi under hydrostatic pressure. These three defining features indicate a fluctuating skyrmion liquid in this magnetically ordered state, stabilized by pressure, disorder or reduced dimensionality. Moreover, the magnetic transition is strongly first order in the MnSi MBE thin film sample, different from the Brazovskii-type weakly first order transition in bulk samples, suggesting the importance of reduced dimensionality in modifying the nature of magnetic phase transitions in B20 systems.
On the Mayer series of two-dimensional Yukawa gas at inverse temperature in the interval of collapse

description: A Theorem on the minimal specific energy for a system with \pm 1 charged particles interacting through the Yukawa pair potential v is proved which may stated as follows. Let v be represented by scale mixtures of d-dimensional Euclid's hat (cutoff at short scale distances) with d\geq 2. For any even number of particles n, the interacting energy U_{n} divided by n, attains an n-independent minimum at a configuration with zero net charge and particle positions collapsed altogether to a point. For any odd number of particles n, the ratio U_{n}/(n-1) attains its minimum value, the same of the previous cases, at the configuration with \pm 1 net charge and particle positions collapsed to a point. This Theorem is then used to resolve an obstructive remark of an unpublished paper (Remark 7.5 of \cite{Guidi-Marchetti}) which, whether the standard decomposition of the Yukawa potential into scales were adopted, would impede a direct proof of the convergence of the Mayer series of the two-dimensional Yukawa gas for the inverse temperature in the whole interval [4π,8π) of collapse. In the present paper, it is proven convergence up to the second threshold 6πand its given explanations on the mechanism that allow it to be extend up to 8π. The paper distinguishes the matters concerning stability from those related to convergence of the Mayer series. In respect to the latter the paper dedicates to the Cauchy majorante method applied to the density function of Yukawa gas in the interval of collapses. It also dedicates to the proof of the main Theorem and estimates of the modified Bessel functions of second kind involved in both representations of two-dimensional Yukawa potential: standard and scale mixture of the Euclid's hat function.

description: The variational methods implemented on a quadratic Yang-Mills type Lagrangian yield two sets of equations interpreted as the field equations and the energy-momentum tensor for the gravitational field. A covariant condition is imposed on the energy-momentum tensor to represent the radiation field. A generalized pp-wave metric is found to simultaneously satisfy both the field equations and the radiation condition. The result is compared with that of Lichnérowicz.

description: The reaction p p $\to$ p ${π^+}X$ was studied at different incident energies around T$_{p}$=2 GeV. Narrow baryonic structures were observed in the missing mass M$_{X}$ and in the invariant mass M$_{pπ^{+}}$. The masses of these structures are: 1004, 1044, 1094, 1136, 1173, 1249, 1277, and 1384 MeV (and possibly 1339 MeV). Some of them were also observed at the same masses in the missing mass spectra of the d p $\to$ p p X reaction although with a weaker signature. Many checks were performed to make sure that these structures were not produced by experimental artifacts. Several narrow small amplitude peaks, were also extracted using already published photo-nucleon cross sections. The small widths of all these results, and the stability of the observed structures, regardless of the experiment, were used to conclude that they are genuine baryons which and not merely the consequence of dynamical rescatterings. These baryons cannot be associated with classical $q^{3}$ quark configurations. We associate them with two colored cluster quark configurations.

description: We show that within the framework of a definite proposal for the initial conditions for the universe, the Hartle-Hawking `no boundary' proposal, open inflation is generic and does not require any special properties of the inflaton potential. In the simplest inflationary models, the semiclassical approximation to the Euclidean path integral and a minimal anthropic condition lead to $Ω_0\approx 0.01$. This number may be increased in models with more fields or extra dimensions.

‘Impossible Tales’: Language and Monstrosity in the Literary Fantastic

Year: 2018
Subjects: Comparative literature

Monsters in literature

description: This dissertation analyzes the ways in which monstrosity is articulated in fantastic literature, a genre or mode that is inherently devoted to the challenge of representing the unrepresentable. Through the readings of a number of nineteenth-century texts and the analysis of the fiction of two twentieth-century writers (H. P. Lovecraft and Tommaso Landolfi), I show how the intersection of the monstrous theme with the fantastic literary mode forces us to consider how a third term, that of language, intervenes in many guises in the negotiation of the relationship between humanity and monstrosity. I argue that fantastic texts engage with monstrosity as a linguistic problem, using it to explore the limits of discourse and constructing through it a specific language for the indescribable. The monster is framed as a bizarre, uninterpretable sign, whose disruptive presence in the text hints towards a critique of overconfident rational constructions of ‘reality’ and the self.
      The dissertation is divided into three main sections. The first reconstructs the critical debate surrounding fantastic literature – a decades-long effort of definition modeling the same tension staged by the literary fantastic; the second offers a focused reading of three short stories from the second half of the nineteenth century (“What Was It?,” 1859, by Fitz-James O’Brien, the second version of “Le Horla,” 1887, by Guy de Maupassant, and “The Damned Thing,” 1893, by Ambrose Bierce) in light of the organizing principle of apophasis; the last section investigates the notion of monstrous language in the fiction of H. P. Lovecraft and Tommaso Landolfi.

‘On Reclaiming the Streets for the People’: Understanding Equity in Public Space Planning Strategies Through an Analysis of the Open Streets Program in New York City

description: Streets are a vital part of the public realm. They no longer simply exist for mobility but as a way to act out democracy. As New York City garnered global attention in becoming an epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic, city officials looked to streets to provide outdoor respite from months of indoor isolation for New Yorkers. This came as a response to the ‘new normal’ that unfolded as a result of the pandemic; New Yorkers were spending time outdoors and taking to the streets for everyday activities while being able to safely follow social distancing protocols. Open Streets were a lifeline for the city’s recovery. The pandemic gave urban planners and policymakers an opportunity to rethink our streets for a more climate-resilient, less car-dependent future. If these Open Streets bring with it social, economic and environmental benefits, it is only fair that all New Yorkers have the same level of access to it. The approach will have to begin with justice. It would be the most reasonable to have Open Streets for those that need it the most -- the neighborhoods hit the hardest by COVID-19, the ones with the least access to quality public open spaces, and the communities with the least mobility options. This thesis explores the meaning behind equity with regard to this program. However, the rise of community organizing surrounding the program has given rise to some of the city’s best Open Streets. Equity, with regard to this program, then calls for a more nuanced definition -- it is about understanding and responding to the needs of each community. The thesis looks into the genesis of the Open Streets program in New York City and analyzes its implementation. Through a case study analysis, it evaluates Open Streets in Williamsburg and Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn and Jackson Heights in Queens. In comparing how different communities across the city experience this program, this research aims to explore what has and hasn’t been successful, in considering a more robust, permanent model for the future.

The Thomson scattering cross section in a magnetized, high density plasma

description: We calculate the Thomson scattering cross section in a non-relativistic, magnetized, high density plasma -- in a regime where collective excitations can be described by magnetohydrodynamics. We show that, in addition to cyclotron resonances and an elastic peak, the cross section exhibits two pairs of peaks associated with slow and fast magnetosonic waves; by contrast, the cross section arising in pure hydrodynamics possesses just a single pair of Brillouin peaks. Both the position and the width of these magnetosonic-wave peaks depend on the ambient magnetic field and temperature, as well as transport and thermodynamic coefficients, and so can therefore serve as a diagnostic tool for plasma properties that are otherwise challenging to measure.

description: The URSY 520 team undertook this engagement with the objective of delivering a suite of novel measures to reduce bike theft on the UBC campus, in an effort to remove this key barrier for students to bike to UBC. In order to do so, the project team first conducted a baseline analysis of both the status of biking within the mode-split of commuters to UBC, as well as of the status of bike security infrastructure on the UBC campus. This endeavor allowed the team to best understand the strengths and weaknesses of currently deployed solutions. Following the baseline analysis, a literature review and idea generation phase was undertook to develop a comprehensive list of 13 potential bike security and theft-prevention measures that may be possible. In order to provide a preliminary level of insight into the merits and drawbacks of each of the options on the aforementioned list, a multi-criterion filtering matrix was developed in consultation with the client, allowing the team to gain a better understanding of how each option performs on each of the key metrics. The initial filter highlighted above led to a qualitative assessment of the high-ranking alternatives, ultimately leading to a three-pronged solution that encompasses many of the options in the initial filtering matrix. 1. The Bike Kitchen Sharing Hub: refers to the sharing/borrowing of bike safety equipment, including U-locks, bike alarms, and GPS anti-theft devices. 2. Bike Storage Rooms & CCTV: refers to the introduction of bike storage rooms within buildings that are situated in high-theft areas, along with the use of CCTV for areas that this is not a possibility (subject to regulatory restrictions). 3. Theft-deterring Signage and Public Engagement: refers to the use of posters to deter thieves, along with the adoption of a comprehensive public engagement strategy, including social media campaigns, engagement programs, competitions, and a “BikeToUBC Week”.

Influence functional in two dimensional dilaton gravity

description: We evaluate the influence functional for two dimensional models of dilaton gravity. This functional is exactly computed when the conformal invariance is preserved, and it can be written as the difference between the Liouville actions on each closed-time-path branch plus a boundary term. From the influence action we derive the covariant form of the semiclassical field equations. We also study the quantum to classical transition in cosmological backgrounds. In the conformal case we show that the semiclassical approximation is not valid because there is no imaginary part in the influence action. Finally we show that the inclusion of the dilaton loop in the influence functional breaks conformal invariance and ensures the validity of the semiclassical approximation.

In deriving those methods we use a generalized procedure differing from the usual ones. This procedure allows us to conveniently treat maps to be controlled bringing the orbit to both various saddles and to sources with both real and complex eigenvalues. We demonstrate the procedure and the subsequent control on a variety of maps. We evaluate the control by examining the basins of attraction of the relevant controlled systems graphically and in some cases analytically.

description: Galactic gas outflows are driven by stellar feedback with dominant contribution from supernovae (SN) explosions. The question of whether the energy deposited by SNe initiates a large scale outflow or gas circulation on smaller scales -- between discs and intermediate haloes, depends on SN rate and their distribution in space and time. We consider here gas circulation by disc-wide unclustered SNe with galactic star formation rate in the range from {$\simeq 6\times 10^{-4}$ to $\simeq 6\times 10^{-2}~M_\odot$~yr$^{-1}$~kpc$^{-2}$, corresponding to mid-to-high star formation observed in galaxies. We show that such disc-wide SN explosion regime can form circulation of warm ($T\sim 10^4$ K) and cold ($T<10^3$ K) phases within a few gas scale heights, and elevation of hot {($T>10^5$ K)} gas at higher ($z>1$ kpc) heights. We found that the threshold energy input rate for hot gas outflows with disc-wide supernovae explosions is estimated to be of the order $\sim 4\times 10^{-4}$~erg~s$^{-1}$~cm$^{-2}$. We discuss the observational manifestations of such phenomena in optical and X-ray bands. In particular, we found that for face-on galaxies with SF ($Σ_{_{\rm SF}}>0.02~M_\odot$~yr$^{-1}$~kpc$^{-2}$), the line profiles of ions typical for warm gas show a double-peak shape, corresponding to out-of-plane outflows. In the X-ray bands, galaxies with high SF rates ($Σ_{_{\rm SF}}>0.006~M_\odot$~yr$^{-1}$~kpc$^{-2}$) can be bright, with a smooth surface brightness in low-energy bands ($0.1\hbox{--}0.3$~keV) and patchy at higher energies ($1.6\hbox{--}8.3$~keV).}

description: Carbon-ash separation is a prerequisite for efficiently utilizing coal gasification fine slag (CGFS), but the enrichment characteristics of harmful elements (HEs) in the separation process are not fully understood. This paper uses gravity separation to prepare different samples, and four typical HEs (Se/Cd/Pb/Cr) in separated products were investigated. The results showed that samples with an ash yield of 28.72%–98.86% and a specific surface area of 12.90 m2/g-389.51 m2/g were obtained through gravity separation. The highly volatile element Se was enriched in the C-C/C-H structure of residual carbon under the catalysis of acidic gases. The nonvolatile element Cr was encapsulated by low-melting-point minerals and remained in the minerals. The semi-volatile element Cd/Pb was easily enriched in a particle with a high specific surface area/large pore volume, especially in porous residual carbon, with an enrichment factor as high as 7.0 and 4.0, respectively. The leaching risk analysis of sorted products indicates that the products were not suitable for direct landfill; however, besides honeycomb porous carbon, other highly specific surface area products can be safely used for soil improvement. The results of this study are expected to provide a reference for the classification and utilization of CGFS and the control of HE pollution.

description: We experimentally demonstrate the formation of salt aggregations with unexpectedly high concentration inside multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) soaked only in dilute salt solutions and even in solutions containing only traces of salts. This finding suggests the blocking of fluid across CNTs by the salt aggregations when CNTs are soaked in a dilute salt solution with the concentration of seawater or even lower, which may open new avenues for the development of novel CNT-based desalination techniques. The high salt accumulation of CNTs also provides a new CNT-based strategy for the collection/extraction of noble metal salts in solutions containing traces of noble metal salts. Theoretical analyses reveal that this high salt accumulation inside CNTs can be mainly attributed to the strong hydrated cation-pi interactions of hydrated cations and pi electrons in the aromatic rings of CNTs.

description: In this paper we consider a model of Poincaré gauge theory (PGT) in which a translational gauge field and a Lorentz gauge field are actually identified with the Einstein's gravitational field and a pair of ``Yang-Mills'' field and its partner, respectively.In this model we re-derive some special solutions and take up one of them. The solution represents a ``Yang-Mills'' field without its partner field and the Reissner-Nordström type spacetime, which are generated by a PGT-gauge charge and its mass.It is main purpose of this paper to investigate the interaction of massless Dirac fields with those fields. As a result, we find an interesting fact that the left-handed massless Dirac fields behave in the different manner from the right-handed ones. This can be explained as to be caused by the direct interaction of Dirac fields with the ``Yang-Mills'' field. Accordingly, the phenomenon can not happen in the behavior of the neutrino waves in ordinary Reissner-Nordström geometry. The difference between left- and right-handed effects is calculated quantitatively, considering the scattering problems of the massless Dirac fields by our Reissner-Nordström type black-hole.

description: Signature transforms have recently been extended to data indexed by two and more parameters. With free Lyndon generators, ideas from B∞-algebras and a novel two-parameter Hoffman exponential, we provide three classes of isomorphisms between the underlying two-parameter shuffle and quasi-shuffle algebras. In particular, we provide a Hopf algebraic connection to the (classical, one-parameter) shuffle algebra over the extended alphabet of connected matrix compositions.

Combining Similarity Features and Deep Representation Learning for Stance Detection in the Context of Checking Fake News

description: Fake news are nowadays an issue of pressing concern, given their recent rise as a potential threat to high-quality journalism and well-informed public discourse. The Fake News Challenge (FNC-1) was organized in 2017 to encourage the development of machine learning-based classification systems for stance detection (i.e., for identifying whether a particular news article agrees, disagrees, discusses, or is unrelated to a particular news headline), thus helping in the detection and analysis of possible instances of fake news. This article presents a new approach to tackle this stance detection problem, based on the combination of string similarity features with a deep neural architecture that leverages ideas previously advanced in the context of learning efficient text representations, document classification, and natural language inference. Specifically, we use bi-directional Recurrent Neural Networks, together with max-pooling over the temporal/sequential dimension and neural attention, for representing (i) the headline, (ii) the first two sentences of the news article, and (iii) the entire news article. These representations are then combined/compared, complemented with similarity features inspired on other FNC-1 approaches, and passed to a final layer that predicts the stance of the article towards the headline. We also explore the use of external sources of information, specifically large datasets of sentence pairs originally proposed for training and evaluating natural language inference methods, in order to pre-train specific components of the neural network architecture (e.g., the RNNs used for encoding sentences). The obtained results attest to the effectiveness of the proposed ideas and show that our model, particularly when considering pre-training and the combination of neural representations together with similarity features, slightly outperforms the previous state-of-the-art.
