Geology, alteration, mineralization and hydrothermal evolution of the La Bodega-La Mascota deposits, California-Vetas Mining District, Eastern Cordillera of Colombia, Northern Andes
Creators: name: Rodríguez Madrid, Alfonso Luis
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: La Bodega (LB) and La Mascota (LM) deposits (inferred resources in 2010 of 3.47 Moz Au, 19.2 Moz Ag and 84.4 Mlbs Cu at 2 g/t Au cut off) are located in the California-Vetas Mining District, 35 km NE of Bucaramanga, in the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia within the Santander Massif. Mineralization exhibits NE-trending, NW-dipping structural control associated with the right lateral strike-slip La Baja fault. Mineralization at LB is composed of veins networks and tectonic-hydrothermal breccias while LM mineralization is largely contained in hydrothermal breccias with adjacent narrow veining zones. Mineralization is hosted in Proterozoic Bucaramanga (gneiss) Complex and Triassic-Jurassic leucogranites. Hydrothermal alteration and mineralization occur in six stages. An early porphyry-style phase comprises stages 1 and 2. Stage 1 is characterized by propylitic alteration with epidote, chlorite, calcite, specularite veins, minor pyrite and chalcopyrite, probably associated in time with Mo-Cu mineralization (Re/Os on molybdenite ~10 Ma) and porphyritic granodiorites (U/Pb in zircon ~10-8.4 Ma) cropping out in the district. Stage 2 (⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar on muscovite ~3.4 Ma) is characterized by phyllic alteration (muscovite/sericite – illite, quartz, pyrite) associated with quartz+pyrite veins. Epithermal phase (stages 3-6) is related to multi-phase hydrothermal breccia development and advanced argillic (quartz-alunite) alteration which based on alunite ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar geochronology took place between ~2.6 and ~1.3 Ma. Stage 3 is characterized by copper sulfide deposition. Stage 4 is characterized by wolframite deposition in veins/breccias. Stage 5 is characterized by enargite deposition. Stage 6 is characterized by minor porous quartz deposition followed by sphalerite with alunite+quartz. Pyrite is common to all these stages. Gold-silver mineralization took place in stages 2-5 associated with sulfides, sulfosalts, tellurides, as electrum and native gold. Hydrothermal events were by followed by near surface supergene alteration and fault reactivation that created intensely fractured/gouge-rich fault zones. At LM, stages 4-5 quartz primary fluid inclusions assemblages indicate boiling and they have homogenization temperatures of ~143-238°C and salinities of 0.5-5.6 wt% NaCl equiv. LM and LB pyrite exhibit light δ³⁴S signatures: -16.9‰ to –11.3‰ at LM and -8.3‰ and –6.1‰ at LB. Alunite δ¹⁸O and δD data indicate that it was precipitated largely from magmatic fluids.

description: We construct a Chern-Simons gauge theory for dg Lie and L-infinity algebras on any one-dimensional manifold and quantize this theory using the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism and Costello's renormalization techniques. Koszul duality and derived geometry allow us to encode topological quantum mechanics, a nonlinear sigma model of maps from a 1-manifold into a cotangent bundle T*X, as such a Chern-Simons theory. Our main result is that the partition function of this theory is naturally identified with the A-genus of X. From the perspective of derived geometry, our quantization construct a volume form on the derived loop space which can be identified with the A-class.

description: Through a reading (also conducted only on epigraphs and descriptions of the index) of documents relating to the old “Collegio dei Dottori” of Urbino (found and available in various locations, published and unpublished, already transcribed and not, supplemented by an essential apparatus of essential notes), it provides a record of the events that have marked the history and daily life of this historic institution, from 1506, the date of its formalization by Guidobaldo II as a judicial body.
It brings to light the two “souls” of the old “Collegio dei Dottori”, the administration of justice and that of legal education and “university” teaching, combined, yet distincted, with a single membership. Until you find a documentation of Resolutions of the General Board (or Rotale), next to the notary Minutes of the historic Congregation of Studies. Attraverso una lettura (condotta anche solo sulle epigrafi e descrizioni dell’indice) dei documenti relativi all’antico Collegio dei Dottori di Urbino (reperiti e reperibili in varie sedi, editi ed inediti, già trascritti e non, integrati da un essenziale apparato di note essenziali), si offre una traccia delle vicende che hanno segnato la storia e la quotidianità di questa storica istituzione a partire dalla data, il 1506, della sua ufficializzazione ad opera di Guidubaldo II come organo giudicante. Si pongono così in luce le due “anime” del Collegio dei Dottori, quella dell’amministrazione della giustizia e quella della formazione giuridica e dell’insegnamento “universitario”, riunite, eppur distinte, in unica appartenenza. Fino ad individuare una documentazione di Risoluzioni di un Collegio Generale (o Rotale) accanto ai Verbali notarili della storica Congregazione degli Studi.

description: Why are the laws of physics formulated in terms of complex Hilbert spaces? Are there natural and consistent modifications of quantum theory that could be tested experimentally? This book chapter gives a self-contained and accessible summary of our paper [New J. Phys. 13, 063001, 2011] addressing these questions, presenting the main ideas, but dropping many technical details. We show that the formalism of quantum theory can be reconstructed from four natural postulates, which do not refer to the mathematical formalism, but only to the information-theoretic content of the physical theory. Our starting point is to assume that there exist physical events (such as measurement outcomes) that happen probabilistically, yielding the mathematical framework of "convex state spaces". Then, quantum theory can be reconstructed by assuming that (i) global states are determined by correlations between local measurements, (ii) systems that carry the same amount of information have equivalent state spaces, (iii) reversible time evolution can map every pure state to every other, and (iv) positivity of probabilities is the only restriction on the possible measurements.

description: For positive integers $w$ and $k$, two vectors $A$ and $B$ from $\mathbb{Z}^w$ are called $k$-crossing if there are two coordinates $i$ and $j$ such that $A[i]-B[i]\geq k$ and $B[j]-A[j]\geq k$. What is the maximum size of a family of pairwise $1$-crossing and pairwise non-$k$-crossing vectors in $\mathbb{Z}^w$? We state a conjecture that the answer is $k^{w-1}$. We prove the conjecture for $w\leq 3$ and provide weaker upper bounds for $w\geq 4$. Also, for all $k$ and $w$, we construct several quite different examples of families of desired size $k^{w-1}$. This research is motivated by a natural question concerning the width of the lattice of maximum antichains of a partially ordered set.

description: The Wang-Landau algorithm aims at sampling from a probability distribution, while penalizing some regions of the state space and favoring others. It is widely used, but its convergence properties are still unknown. We show that for some variations of the algorithm, the Wang-Landau algorithm reaches the so-called flat histogram criterion in finite time, and that this criterion can be never reached for other variations. The arguments are shown in a simple context - compact spaces, density functions bounded from both sides - for the sake of clarity, and could be extended to more general contexts.

description: Numerical solvers of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations have reproduced turbulence phenomena such as the law of the wall, the dependence of turbulence intensities on the Reynolds number, and experimentally observed properties of turbulence energy production. In this article, we begin a sequence of investigations whose eventual aim is to derive and implement numerical solvers that can reach higher Reynolds numbers than is currently possible. Every time step of a Navier-Stokes solver in effect solves a linear boundary value problem. The use of Green's functions leads to numerical solvers which are highly accurate in resolving the boundary layer, which is a source of delicate but exceedingly important physical effects at high Reynolds numbers. The use of Green's functions brings with it a need for careful quadrature rules and a reconsideration of time steppers. We derive and implement Green's function based solvers for the channel flow and plane Couette flow geometries. The solvers are validated by reproducing turbulent signals which are in good qualitative and quantitative agreement with experiment.

description: Climate change is altering ecosystems and ecosystem services all over the globe. The severity of climate change, especially warming, increases with latitude and altitude , leaving high-elevation and latitude ecosystems especially prone to impacts of climate change. Consequently, grasslands of the northern hemisphere and mountain regions of the world are particularly affected. Grassland ecosystems cover large parts of the world and are often anthropogenically used and maintained. To ensure sustainable use and maintenance of ecosystem services contributing to human well-being of grasslands under future conditions such as warmer and drier climate, it is important to understand the interplay between climate change and land-use intensity on the provisioning of ecosystem functions and services in grasslands, especially in temperature limited mountain grasslands. The impact of the interplay between climate change and land-use intensity on ecosystem functions and services in not yet well understood, hence dissentient evidence exists. Climate change happens globally, however concepts and methods to elucidate generality in patterns and processes are necessary to be able to react to climate change pressures in a timely fashion.

description: La competenza comunicativa dipende in parte – in una parte significativa – dalla capacità dei parlanti e degli scriventi di attivare risorse lessicali e di impiegarle funzionalmente nei testi, parlati e scritti, che producono. Gli studenti delle scuole superiori, fino agli ultimi anni del corso degli studi (e poi anche, in qualche caso, nei primi anni dell’università), mostrano talora di avere una padronanza limitata del lessico – specialistico,  ma anche comune – e una consapevolezza ridotta della trama di condizionamenti, strutturali e d’uso, che lega le parole in una grande rete. Spesso, inoltre, non sono in grado di sfruttare pienamente le risorse messe a disposizione dalla lessicografia moderna.
Questo documento, anche grazie alle attività didattiche proposte (e in parte svolte), vuole essere un contributo per approfondire la conoscenza del lessico, migliorare la competenza lessicale e potenziare la capacità di  impiegare con vantaggio i dizionari dell’uso, quelli dei sinonimi, quelli analogici, quelli delle collocazioni; presenta anche strumenti di uso meno frequente nella scuola superiore ma, non per questo, inutili nella didattica della lingua: i dizionari storici e i dizionari etimologici.

description: Motivated by the Broué conjecture on blocks with abelian defect groups for finite reductive groups, we study "parabolic" Deligne-Lusztig varieties and construct on those which occur in the Broué conjecture an action of a braid monoid, whose action on their $\ell$-adic cohomology will conjecturally factor trough a cyclotomic Hecke algebra. In order to construct this action, we need to enlarge the set of varieties we consider to varieties attached to a "ribbon category"; this category has a {\em Garside family}, which plays an important role in our constructions, so we devote the first part of our paper to the necessary background on categories with Garside families.

Portrait of a teacher : stories that won't go away
Creators: name: Hill, Peter James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Teachers tell stories—whether it’s Little Red Riding Hood in a kindergarten class or Hamlet in English 12. It’s a teacher’s job, especially an English teacher’s job, to tell stories to students. To write the stories teachers tell each other is difficult enough, but there are other stories a teacher secretly tells him or herself year after year that are more difficult to tell. Deep in the recesses of a teacher’s memory, these stories persevere and occasionally surface. These too are instructive and go to the heart of what it means to teach. This thesis explores the relationship between these stories and how a teacher understands his/her practice. Using autoethnography as a method, these autobiographical memoirs are told first as artistic expressions, and then analyzed to tease out patterns in the author’s pedagogical development. The implication for other teachers is that they can tell their own “stories that won’t go away” and, in doing so, question the way they teach their own students. The first chapter of the dissertation discusses the use of autoethnography as a methodology for telling these stories. The second chapter includes 13 stories and three poems about my development as a student and a teacher. The third and last chapter reflects on these stories and traces the patterns behind the stories to see how they affect me as a teacher.

Putting education into action : supporting urinary continence amongst older adults in acute care through interprofessional staff education
Creators: name: Miguel, Mila
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Background: Many older adults experience urinary incontinence (UI) and as a result suffer from a variety of physical, emotional, and social consequences. Despite the presence of an interprofessional team to support urinary continence in hospital-based care, studies show that the team has insufficient knowledge to manage patients’ UI. Purpose: To assess changes in UI knowledge among an interprofessional hospital-based team after following an evidence-based educational intervention. The study also aims to better understand the facilitators and barriers to evidence-based learning in a hospital-based setting. Sample/Methods: 32 participants including registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, physiotherapists and occupational therapists from an older adult unit in an urban community hospital participated in the study. Participants met the pre/post-test study design inclusion criteria by completing the UI pre-test, 2/3 educational interventions and UI post-test. Changes in pre/post-test scores were analyzed to assess the effectiveness of the educational intervention. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted after post-test data collection to gain an in-depth understanding of the facilitators and barriers to learning within the context of the research site. Results: Overall UI knowledge showed statistically higher post-test scores (p = .001). Nevertheless when broken down into foundational and advanced knowledge, the former improved (p = .005) where the latter showed no statistically significant improvement (p = .103). Qualitative results described many facilitators and barriers within the following categories: 1) attempting to learn in the workplace, 2) putting evidence-based education into action and 3) learning and providing care within an interprofessional team. Implications: The Putting Education into Action study supports the need for a critical evaluation of current trends in hospital-based workplace learning. It provides suggestions for effective workplace learning and supports the need for further education-based studies in order to continue learning how to best keep nursing and allied health professional up to date with evidence-based practices that are continuously evolving within healthcare research.

description: The broadcast throughput in a network is defined as the average number of messages that can be transmitted per unit time from a given source to all other nodes when time goes to infinity. Classical broadcast algorithms treat messages as atomic tokens and route them from the source to the receivers by making intermediate nodes store and forward messages. The more recent network coding approach, in contrast, prompts intermediate nodes to mix and code together messages. It has been shown that certain wired networks have an asymptotic network coding gap, that is, they have asymptotically higher broadcast throughput when using network coding compared to routing. Whether such a gap exists for wireless networks has been an open question of great interest. We approach this question by studying the broadcast throughput of the radio network model which has been a standard mathematical model to study wireless communication. We show that there is a family of radio networks with a tight $Θ(\log \log n)$ network coding gap, that is, networks in which the asymptotic throughput achievable via routing messages is a $Θ(\log \log n)$ factor smaller than that of the optimal network coding algorithm. We also provide new tight upper and lower bounds that show that the asymptotic worst-case broadcast throughput over all networks with $n$ nodes is $Θ(1 / \log n)$ messages-per-round for both routing and network coding.

Subjects: PHF6
BFLS

description: Plant homeodomain finger protein 6 (PHF6) is a chromatin adaptor protein structurally defined by its two zinc-knuckle-atypical PHD (ZaP) domains. This structural configuration mediates its interaction with dsDNA, miRNA, the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) complex and regulators of rDNA transcription (Upstream binding factor (UBF) and RNA polymerase-associated factor 1 complex (Paf1C)), ultimately facilitating its role as a chromatin adaptor protein and regulator of gene expression. Mutations in the gene are implicated in Börjeson–Forssman–Lehmann syndrome (BFLS), a rare X-linked intellectual disability disorder characterized by large ears, truncal obesity, and long tapering fingers. BFLS is primarily caused by missense and nonsense mutations while deletions, frameshifts and mutations disrupting the structural integrity of the ZaP domains have been described in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. To provide more insight into PHF6 and BFLS, we have generated a Phf6 transgenic mouse line with a patient-related nonsense mutation (R342X). We show that the mutation drastically reduced Phf6 transcript levels and produced a truncated protein at very low levels in the developing brain. Mice were born at normal Mendelian ratios but mutant mice were significantly smaller than control littermates. Volumetric analysis of the brain via high resolution MRI revealed increased sizes of the amygdala, periaqueductal gray, and hypothalamus, and decreased volumes within the striatum, hippocampus and cerebellum. Studies of the pituitary gland revealed a postnatal defect in the growth of the anterior pituitary but not the posterior or intermediate regions. This change was reflected in altered expression levels of several hormones in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Preliminary behavioral tests highlighted deficits in the anxiety and depression response of the mutant mice. Additional studies to fully characterize these mice are ongoing.

Network meta-analysis

description: Fragility fractures caused by loss of bone mass due to postmenopausal osteoporosis represent a growing morbidity worldwide. Bisphosphonates are first-line medications for fracture treatment and prevention. In the first phase, we updated a Cochrane systematic review of randomized controlled trials on alendronate, assessing its efficacy for five types of fracture prevention, quality of life, and various safety outcomes. In the second phase, we combined indirect and direct evidence to perform a network meta-analysis including alendronate and nine other bisphosphonates evaluating the comparative efficacy and safety of these treatments. Overall, 58 studies were included in the review and 83 studies in the network. Most evidence was of moderate to high quality. Alendronate and zoledronic acid were effective for preventing the most types of fractures, while off-label and unapproved bisphosphonates showed poor efficacy. More evidence is required to evaluate long-term treatment and rare adverse events.

The military effort developed in a helter-skelter manner, casualties were heavy in early battles, and results meager. But the Canadians, eventually a corps of four powerful divisions, played major roles on the battlefield from 1916 onwards and a vital part in the last Hundred Days in 1918. At home, industry and agriculture boomed, but linguistic and regional divisions split the country, not least over conscription. By the Armistice, Canada had suffered heavy losses at the front and was bitterly divided at home.

description: We introduce a general framework for measuring risk in the context of Markov control processes with risk maps on general Borel spaces that generalize known concepts of risk measures in mathematical finance, operations research and behavioral economics. Within the framework, applying weighted norm spaces to incorporate also unbounded costs, we study two types of infinite-horizon risk-sensitive criteria, discounted total risk and average risk, and solve the associated optimization problems by dynamic programming. For the discounted case, we propose a new discount scheme, which is different from the conventional form but consistent with the existing literature, while for the average risk criterion, we state Lyapunov-like stability conditions that generalize known conditions for Markov chains to ensure the existence of solutions to the optimality equation.

description: Let $L$ be a finite dimensional Lie algebra over a field of characteristic $0$. Then by the original Levi theorem, $L = B \oplus R$ where $R$ is the solvable radical and $B$ is some maximal semisimple subalgebra. We prove that if $L$ is an $H$-(co)module algebra for a finite dimensional (co)semisimple Hopf algebra $H$, then $R$ is $H$-(co)invariant and $B$ can be chosen to be $H$-(co)invariant too. Moreover, the nilpotent radical $N$ of $L$ is $H$-(co)invariant and there exists an $H$-sub(co)module $S\subseteq R$ such that $R=S\oplus N$ and $[B,S]=0$. In addition, the $H$-(co)invariant analog of the Weyl theorem is proved. In fact, under certain conditions, these results hold for an $H$-comodule Lie algebra $L$, even if $H$ is infinite dimensional. In particular, if $L$ is a Lie algebra graded by an arbitrary group $G$, then $B$ can be chosen to be graded, and if $L$ is a Lie algebra with a rational action of a reductive affine algebraic group $G$ by automorphisms, then $B$ can be chosen to be $G$-invariant. Also we prove that every finite dimensional semisimple $H$-(co)module Lie algebra over a field of characteristic $0$ is a direct sum of its minimal $H$-(co)invariant ideals.

description: The betrayal of popular political aspirations by the colonial state, followed by severe repression, resulted in the “Punjab Uprising” and the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919. Unfolding political events overshadowed the end of the Great War, and commemoration found little space outside official or military narratives. Post-independence and partition, the war was seen as an event belonging to India’s colonial past with little relevance to the history and ideals of the new Republic. It was not until the global centenary that remembrance and commemoration, driven in part by diaspora communities, once again entered the public discourse in India.

description: We obtain bounds on the distribution of the maximum of a martingale with fixed marginals at finitely many intermediate times. The bounds are sharp and attained by a solution to $n$-marginal Skorokhod embedding problem in Obłój and Spoida [An iterated Azéma-Yor type embedding for finitely many marginals (2013) Preprint]. It follows that their embedding maximizes the maximum among all other embeddings. Our motivating problem is superhedging lookback options under volatility uncertainty for an investor allowed to dynamically trade the underlying asset and statically trade European call options for all possible strikes and finitely-many maturities. We derive a pathwise inequality which induces the cheapest superhedging value, which extends the two-marginals pathwise inequality of Brown, Hobson and Rogers [Probab. Theory Related Fields 119 (2001) 558-578]. This inequality, proved by elementary arguments, is derived by following the stochastic control approach of Galichon, Henry-Labordère and Touzi [Ann. Appl. Probab. 24 (2014) 312-336].

description: la présence, sur une aire géographique assez vaste dans le sud de la France, de plusieurs populations homogènes d'une orchidée du genre  Dactylorhiza, ne répondant à la description d'aucune espèce connue à ce jour, conduit à proposer le description d'un nouveau taxon : Dactylorhiza occitanica sp. nov. Ses caractères morphologiques, sa répartition et son écologie sont étudiés et comparés à ceux  d'espèces apparemment proches. En raison de la vulnérabilité de ses biotopes, il conviendrait de l'inclure dans une liste d'espèces protégées.

description: Enhancement of drought tolerance of plants is a crucial concern in arid and semi-arid regions. Using safe and environmentally-friendly
tools and treatments for this purpose is needed to overcome the
problems of water shortage with particular emphasis on sustainable resource management and environmental protection. This study investigated the water status and drought tolerance of beans. Bean plants (Phaseoulus vulgaris L.) were treated with citric acid (0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 g/L) as a foliar application prior the exposition to drought stress conditions. Physiological changes, such as leaf temperature, relative water content (RWC) and chlorophyll content of leaves, were recorded in response to citric acid application. The results revealed that the water status of bean plants under drought stress conditions was improved by citric acid application, indicated by higher RWC of leaves compared to control plants. The most effective level in this respect was 1.5 g/L. A similar trend was observed with total chlorophyll content of leaves. In addition, plant growth, productivity and quality parameters were significantly improved by application of citric acid compared to control plants. The possible roles of citric acid on water status and drought tolerance of bean plants are discussed.

description: Compared to Sweden and Denmark, the humanitarian contribution by the Norwegian Red Cross during the Great War was uneven and, overall, limited. There were two main reasons for this. One, from the early 1900s there had been a shift in the organization from concern with the wounded soldier to social needs in Norway, in particular the lack of hospitals and trained nurses. Two, when war broke out, the Norwegian Red Cross was heavily engaged in its own internal affairs of restructuring the organization. However, towards the end of the war the organization became engaged in tracing, sending parcels and receiving prisoners of war.

description: The Church-Turing thesis states that any sufficiently powerful computational model which captures the notion of algorithm is computationally equivalent to the Turing machine. This equivalence usually holds both at a computability level and at a computational complexity level modulo polynomial reductions. However, the situation is less clear in what concerns models of computation using real numbers, and no analog of the Church-Turing thesis exists for this case. Recently it was shown that some models of computation with real numbers were equivalent from a computability perspective. In particular it was shown that Shannon's General Purpose Analog Computer (GPAC) is equivalent to Computable Analysis. However, little is known about what happens at a computational complexity level. In this paper we shed some light on the connections between this two models, from a computational complexity level, by showing that, modulo polynomial reductions, computations of Turing machines can be simulated by GPACs, without the need of using more (space) resources than those used in the original Turing computation, as long as we are talking about bounded computations. In other words, computations done by the GPAC are as space-efficient as computations done in the context of Computable Analysis.

description: During World War I, about 630,000 people found refuge in the interior of the Kingdom of Italy. They left their homes for different reasons. Some of them were Italian citizens repatriated from Austria-Hungary, Germany and France. Others were Italian-speaking Austrian citizens evacuated from the areas occupied by the Italian army in Trentino and Friuli. The biggest group consisted of Italian citizens who had fled or been evacuated after the ''Strafexpedition'' or the Battle of Caporetto.
