description: Nowadays the density of the population in cities is increasing, and that factor coupled with economic difficulties makes public transport extremely important and more used by the population. On the other hand, with the increasing use of mobile technologies, there is a need to get information about public transports in real time to facilitate time management and daily trips. Our approach provides this information in real time using GPS-based mobile applications both for end users and mobile transportation communications via a centralized server. Tests on real users evaluate the usability of the system and allow for the definition of standard functionalities.

description: Little is known about the physics frontier of strong acceleration; both classical and quantum physics need further development in order to be able to address this newly accessible area of physics. In this lecture we discuss what strong acceleration means and possible experiments using electron-laser collisions and, data available from ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. We review the foundations of the current understanding of charged particle dynamics in presence of critical forces and discuss the radiation reaction inconsistency in electromagnetic theory and the apparent relation with quantum physics and strong field particle production phenomena. The role of the quantum vacuum as an inertial reference frame is emphasized, as well as the absence of such a `Machian' reference frame in the conventional classical limit of quantum field theory.

Adverse neonatal outcome
randomised controlled trial (RCT)

description: Severe early-onset intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is associated with high rates of death before birth, death in the neonatal period and long term handicap as a consequence of being born so early and so small. We currently have no treatment for this disease other than close monitoring and (if the baby is mature enough and grown sufficiently to have a chance of survival) delivery when monitoring suggests the situation is ‘in extremis’.

The majority of these cases are due to abnormal placental development and poor blood supply to the fetus. Sildenafil, as a vasodilator, has the potential to improve blood supply to the uteroplacental vessels and thus improve supply to the baby and possibly aid fetal growth. Data from a small case-control study suggest some potential benefits in fetal growth associated with sildenafil use in pregnancies with very early onset IUGR where the prognosis was otherwise extremely poor.

The purpose of this double-blind randomised placebo-controlled trial is to assess the effect of sildenafil on fetal growth in similar pregnancies with poor prognosis. The results will be combined with similar planned studies worldwide to assess its impact on the most important outcome of all, neonatal survival free of major handicap.
Orbital variation of the X-ray emission from the double neutron star binary J1537+1155

description: We observed the double neutron star binary (DNSB) containing PSR J1537+1155 (also known as B1534+12) with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. This is one of the two DNSBs detected in X-rays and the only one where a hint of variability with orbital phase was found (in the previous Chandra observation). Our follow-up observation supports the earlier result: the distribution of photon arrival times with orbital phase again shows a deficit around apastron. The significance of the deficit in the combined dataset exceeds 99%. Such an orbital light-curve suggests that the X-ray emission is seen only when neutron star B passes through the equatorial pulsar wind of neutron star A. We describe statistical tests we used to determine the significance of the deficit, and conclusions that can be drawn from its existence, such as interaction of the pulsar wind with the neutron star companion. We also provide better constrained spectral model parameters obtained from the joint spectral fits to the data from both observations. A power-law successfully fits the data, with best-fit photon index Gamma=3.1pm0.4 and unabsorbed flux f=(3.2pm0.8)x10^-15 erg s-1cm-2 (0.3-8 keV range).

description: In an effort to understand the impact of nanostructuring on the magnetocaloric effect, we have grown and studied gadolinium in MgO/W(50 $\textrmÅ$)/[Gd(400 $\textrmÅ$)/W(50 $\textrmÅ$)]$_8$ heterostructures. The entropy change associated with the second order magnetic phase transition was determined from the isothermal magnetization for numerous temperatures and the appropriate Maxwell relation. The entropy change peaks at a temperature of 284 K with a value of approximately 3.4 J/kg-K for a 0-30 kOe field change; the full width at half max of the entropy change peak is about 70 K, which is significantly wider than that of bulk Gd under similar conditions. The relative cooling power of this nanoscale system is about 240 J/kg, somewhat lower than that of bulk Gd (410 J/kg). An iterative Kovel-Fisher method was used to determine the critical exponents governing the phase transition to be $β=0.51$, and $γ=1.75$. Along with a suppressed Curie temperature relative to the bulk, the fact that the convergent value of $γ$ is that predicted by the 2-D Ising model may suggest that finite size effects play an important role in this system. Together, these observations suggest that nanostructuring may be a promising route to tailoring the magnetocaloric response of materials.

The economics of auditing standards
Creators: name: Ye, Minlei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Auditing standards provide the objectives to be achieved in an audit and methods to be used by auditors. Standards differ across countries and vary over time. This thesis explores variations in auditing standards, focusing on the questions of how players with different economic incentives influence (or set) auditing standards and how those choices vary with different legal liability regimes. The thesis analyzes the process of setting auditing standards by considering two of the standards' properties: toughness (stringency) and vagueness (imprecision). I present a contracting model between an auditor and prospective investors. The properties of auditing standards are incorporated into the model because they affect the auditor's expected liability to investors and thereby affect the level of effort the auditor chooses to exert. The model predicts that auditors and investors each weakly prefer precise auditing standards if they can choose both the toughness and precision of the standards. Given precise auditing standards, investors are likely to choose tougher standards than the auditors' professional organization. If the toughness is fixed at a non-optimal level, however, the auditors and investors will prefer vaguer auditing standards whether the toughness is too high or too low. These predictions are supported by empirical evidence. When the legal regime becomes stronger, the standard setters (auditors or investors) initially prefer tougher auditing standards, but when the regime is stronger than a negligence-based liability regime with auditing standards defining due care, they prefer less tough auditing standards. Furthermore, if the toughness is fixed at an optimal level, the players have stronger incentives to choose precise standards as the legal regime becomes stronger. This thesis adds to the literature by investigating the standard setters' economic incentives in influencing (in this thesis, choosing) the properties of auditing standards. By understanding the economic impact of different standards, regulators, investors, and auditors are more able to anticipate the implications of a change in standards. This research is timely given the recent transfer of authority over auditing standards for public companies from the AICPA to the PCAOB in the U.S., and the world-wide trend of improving the clarity of auditing standards.

description: We investigated the effects of inorganic mercury exposure during gestational/lactational periods on the behaviour, learning and hearing functions in a total of 32, 5-week-old and 5-month-old WAG/Rij rats (equally divided into 4 groups as 5-week and 5-month control mercury exposure groups). We evaluated the rats in terms of locomotor activity (LA), the Morris-water-maze (MWM) test and the passive avoidance (PA) test to quantify learning and memory performance; we used distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) tests to evaluate hearing ability. There were no significant differences between the 5-week-old rat groups in LA, and we detected a significant difference (p < 0.05) in the HgCl2-treated group in PA, MWM and DPOAE tests compared with the control group. The HgCl2-treated 5-week-old group exhibited worse emotional memory performance in PA, worse spatial learning and memory performances in MWM. There were no significant differences between the groups of 5-month-old rats in LA, MWM or PA. However, the DPOAE tests worsened in the mid- and high-frequency hearing thresholds. The HgCl2-treated 5-month-old group exhibited the most hearing loss of all groups. Our results convey that mercury exposure in young rats may worsen learning and memory performances as well as hearing at high-frequency levels. While there was no statistically significant difference in the behavior and learning tests in adult rats, the DPOAE test produced poorer results. Early detection of effects of mercury exposure provides medicals team with an opportunity to determinate treatment regimens and mitigate ototoxicity. DPOAE test can be used in clinical and experimental research investigating heavy metal ototoxicity.

description: This thesis project addresses the need for an interactive, real-time water animation tech-
 nique that can showcase visually convincing effects such as splashes and breaking waves while
 being computationally inexpensive. Our method couples SPH and wave equations in a one-
 way manner to simulate the behavior of water in real-time, leveraging OpenGL’s Compute
 Shaders for interactive performance and a novel Uniform Grid implementation. Through a
 review of related literature on real-time simulation methods of fluids, and water animation,
 this thesis presents a feasible algorithm, animations to showcase interesting water effects,
 and a comparison of computational costs between SPH, wave equations, and the coupled
 approach. The program renders a water body with a planar surface and discrete particles.
 This project aims to provide a solution that can meet the needs of various water animation
 use-cases, such as games, and movies, by offering a computationally efficient technique that
 can animate water to behave plausibly and showcase essential effects in real-time.

Plasma flow vs. magnetic feature-tracking speeds in the Sun

description: We simulate the magnetic feature tracking (MFT) speed using advective-diffusive transport models in both one and two dimensions. By depositing magnetic bipolar regions at different latitudes at the Sun's surface and following their evolution for a prescribed meridional circulation and magnetic diffusivity profiles, we derive the MFT speed as a function of latitude. We find that in a one dimensional surface-transport model the simulated MFT speed at the surface is always the same as the meridional flow-speed used as input to the model, but is different in a two-dimensional transport model in the meridional (r,theta) plane. The difference depends on the value of the magnetic diffusivity and on the radial gradient of the latitudinal velocity. We have confirmed our results with two different codes in spherical and Cartesian coordinates.

Placental growth factor (PlGF)

description: Early-onset placental intrauterine growth restriction (EO IUGR) is associated with a high risk of perinatal morbidity and mortality. In association with reduced circulating placental growth factor (PLGF) EO IUGR results from abnormal placentation with inadequate remodelling of the maternal uteroplacental arteries. There is no known treatment for placental IUGR. Management involves intensive fetal surveillance with delivery with evidence of serious fetal compromise. However, remote from term, delivery is associated with significant perinatal mortality and morbidity. Sildenafil vasodilates the uteroplacental vessels of IUGR-affected pregnancies and may represent a novel therapy. Sildenafil has been used in pregnant women with pulmonary artery hypertension without adverse events, and has a good fetal safety profile from animal studies and a randomised controlled trial (RCT) of 17 women who received sildenafil (18 placebo-treated; non-significant increase in median birth weight of 367g after median 4.5d). We used sildenafil in a cohort of 12 women with severe EO IUGR as compassionate therapy. Compared with 17 sildenafil-naïve EO IUGR pregnancies, sildenafil appeared to improve daily fetal growth velocity (92% vs 41%, Fisher’s p=0.008; OR 16 [95% CI 2, 151]) and were more frequently live born (75% vs 35%, p=0.042, OR 6 [1.1, 28])). Therefore, there are sufficient data to support an RCT. We will target the fetus as patient.

STRIDER Canada is one of a consortium of STRIDER randomised controlled trials (RCTs) each of which is designed to determine whether or not maternal treatment with sildenafil citrate improves markers of perinatal wellbeing.

The overarching aim of the STRIDER Canada trial is to determine whether maternal treatment with oral sildenafil citrate improves perinatal outcomes in pregnancies complicated by early-onset IUGR without increasing risks to the mother.

description: Scent in the museum. For a long time, this phrase would have raised red flags for conservators, curators, archivists and visitors of heritage spaces - and in many cases it still does. Scents? Where? Surely not in the galleries or in the depot?! Do they indicate undesirable moulds in books or other objects? Are odours spilling from the restroom or the museum café? Do these scents suggest the presence of airborne dangers that might affect the artefacts? Recognised as a hazard or simply lurking in the background, visitors and heritage professionals alike are not accustomed to actively paying attention to smells in cultural heritage institutions. Scents are assumed to be incidental, unintentional, and unwanted.
Odeuropa's Olfactory Storytelling Toolkit: A 'How-To' Guide for Working with Smells in GLAMs and Heritage Institutions is created for conservators, curators, educators, tour guides, museum directors, archivists, librarians, and all others who are interested to work with smells in a heritage context. This guide is a resource that provides a basis to use smell as a storytelling technique within your own curatorial practice. It provides methods - from beginning to end - to bring an olfactory narrative from the (physical) collection item towards visitor engagement. We not only present tips for building a strong olfactory narrative (and where to start finding those stories) but also outline practical elements of olfactory storytelling such as sniffing out olfactory objects and spaces with smellwalks and a sniffer in residence, best practices for presenting and distributing scents in the museum space, creating (heritage) scents with a scent designer and how to carry out your own risk assessment in GLAM environments.
This handbook also has 11 downloadable resources to help bring your olfactory event to life, which are listed in the "Related works" section below. This project is one of the milestones created within the Odeuropa project.

Adverse neonatal outcome,
randomised controlled trial (RCT)

description: Early onset intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) most commonly occurs when the placental transfer of nutrients and oxygen is impaired due to an inadequate placental implantation. The resulting fetal malnutrition and hypoxia are considered untreatable in utero. The only current option is an elective preterm delivery in order to rescue the baby from an adverse intrauterine environment. IUGR and the associated indicated preterm birth expose the fetus and neonate to significant mortality and morbidity. This diagnosis causes an important management dilemma: early delivery causes extreme prematurity with all its sequelae while delivering baby too late risks intrauterine death or morbidity secondary to critical fetal hypoxia.

Sildenafil potentiates the effect of nitric oxide (NO) and thus may cause vasodilatation of vessels responsive to NO. The incomplete remodelling of maternal spiral arteries in IUGR results in vessels with intact or partially intact muscular layers, which remain responsive to regional vascular control. Sildenafil has the potential to increase uteroplacental circulation and perfusion resulting in improved gaseous and nutrient exchange and improved fetal growth and well-being.

Use of sildenafil in an obstetric population has been limited, but several case reports and small studies now exist. Sildenafil has been used in selected cases for the treatment of maternal pulmonary arterial hypertension where there is growing data on both its safety and efficacy to improve both maternal and fetal outcomes. There is also limited data suggesting that sildenafil has the potential to increase fetal weight.

The overarching aim of the STRIDER  UK trial is to determine whether maternal treatment with oral sildenafil citrate improves perinatal outcomes in pregnancies complicated by severe early-onset IUGR without increasing risks to the mother.

description: The metric of a perturbed Robertson-Walker spacetime is characterized by three functions: a scale-factor giving the expansion history and two potentials which generalize the single potential of Newtonian gravity. The Newtonian potential induces peculiar velocities and, from these, the growth of matter fluctuations. Massless particles respond equally to the Newtonian potential and to a curvature potential. The difference of the two potentials, called the gravitational slip, is predicted to be very small in general relativity but can be substantial in modified gravity theories. The two potentials can be measured, and gravity tested on cosmological scales, by combining weak gravitational lensing or the Integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect with galaxy peculiar velocities or clustering.

description: Social networks have become a pervasive instrument of information consumption and production. With their growing availability, they have become ubiquitous tools to share and consume information in many different content formats. In this paper, we survey how the different content formats and their sources influence social network's usage. The results show that the importance of different media types is perceived differently depending on whether users are producing of consuming media. They also show that different sources of content are given different importance by Facebook users, and that sources also impact the importance of the media type of the information consumed.

description: We describe approximate axisymmetric computations of the dynamical evolution of material inside radio lobes and X-ray cluster gas cavities in Fanaroff-Riley II sources such as Cygnus A. All energy is delivered by a jet to the lobe/cavity via a moving hotspot where jet energy dissipates in a reverse shock. Our calculations describe the evolution of hot plasma, cosmic rays (CRs) and toroidal magnetic fields flowing from the hotspot into the cavity. Many observed features are explained. Gas, CRs and field flow back along the cavity surface in a "boundary backflow" consistent with detailed FRII observations. Computed ages of backflowing CRs are consistent with observed radio-synchrotron age variations only if shear instabilities in the boundary backflow are damped and we assume this is done with viscosity of unknown origin. Magnetic fields estimated from synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) X-radiation observed near the hotspot evolve into radio lobe fields. Computed profiles of radio synchrotron lobe emission perpendicular to the jet are dramatically limb-brightened in excellent agreement with FRII observations although computed lobe fields exceed those observed. Strong winds flowing from hotspots naturally create kpc-sized spatial offsets between hotspot inverse Compton (IC-CMB) X-ray emission and radio synchrotron emission that peaks 1-2 kpc ahead where the field increases due to wind compression. In our computed version of Cygnus A, nonthermal X-ray emission increases from the hotspot (some IC-CMB, mostly SSC) toward the offset radio synchrotron peak (mostly SSC). A faint thermal jet along the symmetry axis may be responsible for redirecting the Cygnus A non-thermal jet.

description: India’s automotive sector has grown tremendously in the post-liberalization period. The growing domestic market, increased export opportunities and greater emphasis of vehicle manufacturers on high-quality, innovative solutions have created a context for component suppliers to ramp up their innovation capabilities as well. For about past 20 years the auto component industry has consistently acted as a key enabler of various frugal vehicles launched in India. Our multi-level and multi-approach study, making use of firm and sector-level data while combining case studies with expert interviews, seeks to investigate the prevalent innovation pathways and trajectories in India’s Auto Component Industry. The results indicate that firms often engage in designing and developing components making use of modern, digital technologies, and manage to reach very high levels of process and resource efficiency. The huge domestic market, and the rising global demand, for affordable, high quality products provide good incentives for investments and openness for external knowledge. Cooperation between Indian and global companies as well as mergers and acquisitions have accelerated the development of innovation capabilities in India. The focused approach on developing concrete applications within requisite parameters gives rise to “appropriate solutions” that balance economic, ecological and technological performance. The study discovered a remarkable set of innovation pathways that makes use of collaborative development, avoids over-engineering and is often driven by economies of scale. All this is also stimulated by the state that developed into a key promoter of innovations.

description: The frequent search for information about people comes across several difficulties in current social applications. Users still have to navigate among sources to find what they look for. Besides, it gets even more difficult when the search is about fitting broader criteria than to searching for a specific someone. In this paper, we present PersOntology, an ontology to describe people, which specifies the most prominent attributes and relations in a people search context. This specification allowed gathering information from multiple sources in a single knowledge base (KB), providing an overview of a person's Social Directory. We built an interface, based on PersOntology, able to search and browse person-related information. A preliminary evaluation enabled the improvement of the ontology towards suitability with future social-based interfaces. This preliminary assessment showed that such enriched KB enables novel and more efficient interfaces, represented here as attribute search.

description:  Background: Rates of COVID-19 vaccinations among youth remain sub-optimal, particularly among racial and ethnic minority populations. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-funded UMass Worcester Prevention Research Center partnered with the vaccination equity initiative of Worcester, Massachusetts and youth-serving organizations to develop, implement, and evaluate a youth led public health campaign to promote COVID-19 vaccine confidence and uptake. Methods: Guided by the youth empowerment model to promote behavior change by helping youth reflect, identify, and take action on what is meaningful to them, we created a youth vaccine ambassador public health campaign to promote COVID-19 vaccination. Ambassadors were guided through self-reflection of questions, answers and motivations for COVID-19 vaccination. Youth motivations and narratives became the campaign messaging. Youth collaborated to create and disseminate social media, video, and print content to display in local neighborhoods, using social norming approaches to foster youth and family vaccine confidence and vaccination. Results: We trained nine youth (aged 18- 22 years) as vaccine ambassadors. English/Spanish vaccine messages developed by youth ambassadors were disseminated through social media platforms (n=3), radio (n=2), local TV (n=2), flyers (n=2,086), posters (n=362), billboards (n=7), and local bus ads (n=18). Qualitative youth feedback indicated participation in the campaign was a positive and empowering experience which reinforces the importance of engaging youth in public health messaging. Discussion: Amplifying youth voices by engaging them to develop and share their personal vaccine stories and motivations facilitated youths’ role as public health messengers. Youth empowerment through storytelling and personal narratives holds promise for future public health campaigns.
Relative bulk density as an index of soil compaction and forest productivity in British Columbia
Creators: name: Zhao, Yihai (Simon)
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Soil compaction often limits conifer regeneration on sites degraded by construction of landings and roads, but inadequate understanding of compaction characteristics has sometimes led to inappropriate rehabilitation efforts. This warrants development of new methods to assess compaction and its relation to tree growth. The objective of this study was to develop a high-level integration indicator that will characterize compaction of forest soils and that could be correlated to tree height growth. Mineral particle density of soils from interior British Columbia (BC) forests varied significantly among the geographic locations. Oxalate-extractable Fe- and Al-oxides and particle size distribution (PSD) were related to soil and mineral particle densities, while soil organic matter (SOM) and Al- and Fe-oxides were important soil properties in relation to soil particle density. The significance of levels of single soil properties in predicting maximum bulk density (MBD) were in the order: plastic and liquid limits, organic matter content, oxalate-extractable oxide, and PSD. Stratification of the sample according to Atterberg limits improved the predictability of MBD, and variation in particle density was included in the prediction by other soil properties used in the models. Height growth of interior Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca [Bessin] Franco) was restricted when relative bulk density (RBD) was > 0.72. For lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta Dougl. ex Loud. var. latifolia Engelm.) and hybrid white spruce (Picea glauca [Moench] Voss × engelmannii Parry ex Engelm.), an RBD of 0.60 - 0.63 corresponded to maximum height growth, while that of 0.78 - 0.84 appeared to limit height growth. The presence of surface organic material mitigated compaction and was often associated with lower RBD. Interior Douglas-fir and lodgepole pine planted in low elevation sites in north-central BC did not grow well and their height growth was weakly related to RBD. The results suggest that soil rehabilitation should be considered on disturbed sites where soil RBD is > 0.80. Findings in this study have implications in assessing forest soil compaction and its effect on site productivity. The results will help predict soil behaviour and associated tree growth in response to timber harvesting and site rehabilitation.
