description: This study looked for correlations between molecular identification, clinical manifestation and morphology for Trichophyton interdigitale and T. mentagrophytes. For this purpose, a total of 110 isolates were obtained from Czech patients with various clinical manifestations of dermatophytosis. Micro- and macromorphology and physiology were analysed, and the strains were characterized using multilocus sequence typing. Among the 12 measured/scored phenotypic features, statistically significant differences between species were found only in growth rates at 37°C and in the production of spiral hyphae but none of these features was diagnostic. Correlations were found between T. interdigitale and higher age of patients and between clinical manifestations such as tinea pedis or onychomychosis. The MLST approach showed that ITS genotyping of T. mentagrophytes isolates has limited practical benefits because of extensive gene flow between sublineages. Based on our results and previous studies, there are few taxonomic arguments for preserving both species' names. The species show a lack of monophyly and unique morphology. On the other hand, some genotypes are associated with predominant clinical manifestations and sources of infections, which keep those names alive. This practice is questionable because the use of both names confuses identification, leading to difficulty in comparing epidemiological studies. The current identification method using ITS genotyping is ambiguous for some isolates and is not user-friendly. Additionally, identification tools such as MALDI-TOF MS fail to distinguish these species. To avoid further confusion and simplify identification in practice, we recommend using the name T. mentagrophytes for the entire complex. When clear differentiation of populations corresponding to T. interdigitale and T. indotineae is possible based on molecular data, we recommend optionally using a variety rank: T. mentagrophytes var. interdigitale and T. mentagrophytes var. indotineae.

description: Electrostatic solitary structures are generated by injection of a suprathermal electron beam parallel to the magnetic field in a laboratory plasma. Electric microprobes with tips smaller than the Debye length ($λ_{De}$) enabled the measurement of positive potential pulses with half-widths 4 to 25$λ_{De}$ and velocities 1 to 3 times the background electron thermal speed. Nonlinear wave packets of similar velocities and scales are also observed, indicating that the two descend from the same mode which is consistent with the electrostatic whistler mode and result from an instability likely to be driven by field-aligned currents.

Blackwater Mine and the collaborative moose health monitoring program
Creators: name: Lis, Doron
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: In response to the rapid rate of multiple natural resource developments in British Columbia (BC) First Nations across the province are raising concern about the health and safety of traditional food or ‘country food’ sources. This concern has led to a large number of requests by BC First Nations to monitor country foods. Furthermore, a progressive approach to environmental assessment of mines in BC includes the implementation of a program to assess and monitor country foods especially when mine developments occur on or near First Nations traditional food gathering lands. Such monitoring programs can also be incorporated into Impact Benefit Agreements, which have become a key social tool for mining companies working on or near Aboriginal lands. The mining industry in BC has only recently begun to specifically assess the potential impacts of mining on country foods. However, this assessment has lacked both depth and guidance. New Gold, a mid-tier mining company, has implemented a ‘Country Food Monitoring Plan’ as part of an application for an environmental impact assessment of the proposed Blackwater Mine in central BC. In particular, moose were identified by local First Nations as a country food of primary concern. This report describes a unique collaboration between New Gold and the Lhoosk’uz Dene Nation and hunting guide outfitters, with support from wildlife veterinarians to develop and pilot the implementation of a moose health monitoring program. The goal is to establish a community-based monitoring program to provide information to First Nations and others on moose health and any potential threats via ingestion of country foods to humans throughout all stages, including construction, operation and post-closure, of the Blackwater Mine. This research can be used by industry, government, First Nations, and other stakeholders to provide a framework and model to approach the assessment and monitoring of the health and safety of country foods near mining development and other natural resource extractive activities.

description: We present results for the phase diagram of QCD with two massless quark flavours as obtained from a first-principles functional renormalisation group approach. In particular we compute order parameters for chiral symmetry breaking and quark confinement at vanishing and non-zero imaginary chemical potential. Our analytical and numerical results suggest a close relation between the chiral and the deconfinement phase transition. We discuss the properties of dual order parameters at imaginary and real chemical potential.

description: We study the adhesion of an elastic sheet on a rigid spherical substrate. Gauss'Theorema Egregium shows that this operation necessarily generates metric distortions (i.e. stretching) as well as bending. As a result, a large variety of contact patterns ranging from simple disks to complex branched shapes are observed as a function of both geometrical and material properties. We describe these different morphologies as a function of two non-dimensional parameters comparing respectively bending and stretching energies to adhesion. A complete configuration diagram is finally proposed.

description: We present a spectroscopic/photometric analysis of the rapid rotator KIC8429280, discovered by ourselves as a very young star and observed by the Kepler mission. We use spectroscopic/photometric ground-based data to derive stellar parameters, and we adopt a spectral subtraction technique to highlight the chromospheric emission in the cores of Halpha, CaII H&K and IRT lines. We fit a robust spot model to the high-precision Kepler photometry spanning 138 days. Model selection and parameter estimation is performed in a Bayesian manner using a Markov chain Monte Carlo method. We find that KIC8429280 is a cool (K2V) star with an age of ~50 Myr, based on its Li content, that has passed its T Tau phase and is spinning up approaching the ZAMS. Its high level of chromospheric activity is indicated by the radiative losses in CaII H&K and IRT, Halpha, and Hbeta lines. Furthermore, its Balmer decrement and the flux ratio of CaII IRT lines imply that these lines are mainly formed in optically-thick sources analogue to solar plages. The analysis of the Kepler data uncovers evidence of at least 7 enduring spots. Since the star's inclination is rather high, ~70°, the assignment of the spots to the northern/southern hemisphere is not unambiguous. We find at least 3 solutions with nearly the same level of residuals. The distribution of the active regions is such that the spots are located around 3 latitude belts, i.e. the equator and +-(50°-60°), with the high-latitude spots rotating slower than the low-latitude ones. The equator-to-pole differential rotation ~0.27 rad/d is at variance with some recent mean-field models of differential rotation in rapidly rotating MS stars, which predict a much smaller latitudinal shear. Our results are consistent with the scenario of a higher differential rotation, which changes along the magnetic cycle.

description: We propose a penalized likelihood method to fit the bivariate categorical response regression model. Our method allows practitioners to estimate which predictors are irrelevant, which predictors only affect the marginal distributions of the bivariate response, and which predictors affect both the marginal distributions and log odds ratios. To compute our estimator, we propose an efficient algorithm which we extend to settings where some subjects have only one response variable measured, i.e., a semi-supervised setting. We derive an asymptotic error bound which illustrates the performance of our estimator in high-dimensional settings. Generalizations to the multivariate categorical response regression model are proposed. Finally, simulation studies and an application in pan-cancer risk prediction demonstrate the usefulness of our method in terms of interpretability and prediction accuracy.

description: In an attempt to constrain evolutionary models of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase at the limit of low masses and low metallicities, we have examined the luminosity functions and number ratio between AGB and red giant branch (RGB) stars from a sample of resolved galaxies from the ACS Nearby Galaxy Survey Treasury (ANGST). This database provides HST optical photometry together with maps of completeness, photometric errors, and star formation histories for dozens of galaxies within 4 Mpc. We select 12 galaxies characterized by predominantly metal-poor populations as indicated by a very steep and blue RGB, and which do not present any indication of recent star formation in their color--magnitude diagrams. Thousands of AGB stars brighter than the tip of the RGB (TRGB) are present in the sample (between 60 and 400 per galaxy), hence the Poisson noise has little impact in our measurements of the AGB/RGB ratio. We model the photometric data with a few sets of thermally pulsing AGB (TP-AGB) evolutionary models with different prescriptions for the mass loss. This technique allows us to set stringent constraints to the TP-AGB models of low-mass metal-poor stars (with M<1.5 Msun, [Fe/H]

description: Observations on comet C/2007 N3 (Lulin) were made at phase angles close to opposition ($1.7^{\circ}$ - $10^{\circ}$). Photometric observations were carried out during 2009 February 24-28, in the IHW blue and red continuum and $R$ broad band using photo-polarimeter mounted on the 1.2m telescope at Mt Abu IR Observatory. In all the bands, a significant linear increase in brightness with decreasing phase angle is detected for the above phase angle range. The phase coefficient ($β= 0.040\pm 0.001$ mag deg$^{-1}$ estimated in IHW red (6840Å) filter band) is found to be independent of wavelength. No non-linear opposition surge is observed for phase angle $>1.7^{\circ}$. The linear increase in brightness with decreasing phase angle in the range mentioned earlier can be explained using the shadow hiding model. The colour of the comet is found to be similar to the solar colour indicating the dominance of grains larger than $0.1μm$. A dip in the brightness of about 0.20 mag is seen at the phase angle $\sim 6.5^\circ$.

The application of agent based modeling to simulate residential water use responses to urban growth, regulation, and social influence in Kelowna British Columbia, Canada.
Creators: name: Bepple, Jonathan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: The complexity of human and environment systems breed problems with no clearly definable, single best solution. Water management along with other public goods management represent fields that require coping with these problems. Agent based models (ABMs) have been shown to be an effective method of modeling the complex cross-scale interactions and feedbacks that contribute to the difficulty of large scale management in complex social and ecological systems. Herein is presented a framework for an ABM that incorporates novel methods in a new application to residential water use. The ABM developed in this thesis is a contribution to the literature in five ways: (1) active agents who can adapt to their social setting and environment have been implemented, (2) heuristic-based decision making is used within the model to improve realism, (3) the decision making process is rooted in the Theory of Planned Behaviour framework, (4) agents’ multi-faceted personalities are modeled using quantitative social data, and (5) the model allows for the exploration of price and volume allocation structure changes, education, centralized irrigation programs, water restrictions, land-use changes, and social influences simultaneously. The ABM is applied to the case study of Kelowna, BC to assess residential water users’ responses to urban growth, regulation, and social influences. The most conservative growth estimates (no new development) show no increase in outdoor water use, while urban sprawl could result in an increase of 1.8% annually. Watering restrictions (29%-49% decreases) and leasing irrigation rights to a centralized irrigator (11%-20% decreases) were found to be the most impactful single policies, while the combination of rationing, restrictions, and price increases were found to have the largest influence overall (38% - 55% decreases). The social composition of the study area is such that social influence leads the population towards more water wasting behaviour. Although education programs were ineffective at reducing outdoor water use in the model, they were somewhat effective at mitigating the effect of water wasting influences. Altogether, the decision support tool provided by this ABM fills a gap in water modeling and can provide valuable insight into social dynamics and responses to system change.

description: Diese Dissertation behandelt die Entwicklung von Alignment-Medien auf Basis von helikal-chiralen Polymeren zum Einsatz in der RDC-basierten NMR-Strukturaufklärung. Auf Grundlage eines literaturbekannten flüssigkristallbildenden Polyisocyanids werden unterschiedliche Homo- und Copolymere mit verschiedenen funktionellen Gruppen hergestellt. Die erhaltenen lyotropen Flüssigkristalle weisen hervorragende Orientierungseigenschaften auf. Diese werden im Weiteren durch die Synthese von quervernetzbaren Copolymeren auf das "strain induced alignment in a gel"-Prinzip übertragen. Weiterhin wird Graphenoxid mit helikal chiralen Polymeren wie den bisher hergestellten Polyisocyaniden und den literaturbekannten Poly(phenylacetylenen) funktionalisiert. Das funktionalisierte Graphenoxid wird anschließend auf seine enantiodiskriminierenden Orientierungseigenschaften und sein Löslichkeitsverhalten untersucht. Dabei weisen die funktionalisierten Graphenoxid-Flüssigkristalle hervorragende Löslichkeiten in DMSO, THF und Chloroform auf.

description: UBVI CCD photometry of NGC 2353 is obtained as part of the "Sejong Open cluster Survey" (SOS). Using the photometric membership criteria we selelct probable members of the cluster. We derive the reddening and distance to the cluster, i.e. E(B-V) = 0.10 +/- 0.02 mag and 1.17 +/- 0.04 kpc, respectively. We find that the projected distribution of the probable members on the sky is elliptical in shape rather than circular. The age of the cluster is estimated to be log(age)=8.1 +/- 0.1, older than what was found in previous studies. The minimum value of binary fraction is estimated to be about 48 +/- 5 percent from a Gaussian function fit to the distribution of the distance moduli of the photometric members. Finally, we also obtain the luminosity function and the initial mass function (IMF). The slope of the IMF is Gamma = -1.3 +/- 0.2.

description: We construct and compare a variety of simple models for strange stars, namely, hypothetical self-bound objects made of a cold stable version of the quark-gluon plasma. Exact, quasi-exact and numerical models are examined to find the most economical description for these objects. A simple and successful parametrization of them is given in terms of the central density, and many differences among the models are explicitly shown and discussed.

On the period distribution of cluster RR Lyrae stars to constrain their helium content: the case of omega Centauri

description: We present new sets of nonlinear, time-dependent convective hydrodynamical models of RR Lyrae stars assuming two metal (Z=0.0005, Z=0.001) and three helium abundances (Y=0.24, 0.30, 0.38). For each chemical composition we constructed a grid of fundamental (FU) and first overtone (FO) models covering a broad range of stellar masses and luminosities. To constrain the impact of the helium content on RR Lyrae properties, we adopted two observables --period distribution, luminosity amplitudes-- that are independent of distance and reddening. The current predictions confirm that the helium content has a marginal effect on the pulsation properties. The key parameter causing the difference between canonical and He-enhanced observables is the luminosity. We compared current predictions with the sample of 189 RR Lyrae stars in omega Cen and we found that the period range of He-enhanced models is systematically longer than observed. These findings apply to metal-poor and metal-intermediate He-enhanced models. To further constrain the impact of He-enhanced structures on the period distribution we also computed a series of synthetic HB models and we found that the predicted period distribution, based on a Gaussian sampling in mass, agrees quite well with observations. This applies not only to the minimum fundamentalized period of RR Lyrae stars (0.39 vs 0.34 day), but also to the fraction of Type II Cepheids (2% vs 3%). We also computed a series of synthetic HB models assuming a mixed HB population in which the 80% is made of canonical HB structures, while the 20% is made of He-enhanced (Y=0.30) HB structures. We found that the fraction of Type II Cepheids predicted by these models is almost a factor of two larger than observed (5% vs 3%). This indicates that the fraction of He-enhanced structures in omega Cen cannot be larger than 20%.

G-subsets and G-orbits of Q(sqrt n) under action of the modular group

description: It is well known that $G=\langle x,y:x^2=y^3=1\rangle$ represents the modular group $PSL(2,Z)$, where $x:z\rightarrow\frac{-1}{z}, y:z\rightarrow\frac{z-1}{z}$ are linear fractional transformations. Let $n=k^2m$, where $k$ is any non zero integer and $m$ is square free positive integer. Then the set $$Q^*(\sqrt{n}):=\{\frac{a+\sqrt{n}}{c}:a,c,b=\frac{a^2-n}{c}\in Z~\textmd{and}~(a,b,c)=1\}$$ is a $G$-subset of the real quadratic field $Q(\sqrt{m})$ \cite{R9}. We denote $α=\frac{a+\sqrt{n}}{c}$ in $ Q^*(\sqrt{n})$ by $α(a,b,c)$. For a fixed integer $s>1$, we say that two elements $α(a,b,c)$, $α'(a',b',c')$ of $Q^*(\sqrt{n})$ are $s$-equivalent if and only if $a\equiv a'(mod~s)$, $b\equiv b'(mod~s)$ and $c\equiv c'(mod~s)$. The class $[a,b,c](mod~s)$ contains all $s$-equivalent elements of $Q^*(\sqrt{n})$ and $E^n_s$ denotes the set consisting of all such classes of the form $[a,b,c](mod~s)$. In this paper we investigate proper $G$-subsets and $G$-orbits of the set $Q^*(\sqrt{n})$ under the action of Modular Group $G$

description: The frequently observed lopsidedness of the distribution of stars and gas in disc galaxies is still considered as a major problem in galaxy dynamics. It is even discussed as an imprint of the formation history of discs and the evolution of baryons in dark matter haloes. Here, we analyse a selected sample of 70 galaxies from the Westerbork HI Survey of Spiral and Irregular Galaxies. The HI data allow us to follow the morphology and the kinematics out to very large radii. In the present paper, we present the rotation curves and study the kinematic asymmetry. We extract the rotation curves of receding and approaching sides separately and show that the kinematic behaviour of disc galaxies can be classified by five different types: symmetric velocity fields where the rotation curves of receding and approaching sides are almost identical; global distortions where the rotation velocities of receding and approaching side have an offset which is constant with radius; local distortions which lead to large deviations in the inner and negligible deviations in the outer parts (and vice versa); and distortions which split the galaxies into two kinematic systems, visible in the different behaviour of the rotation curves of receding and approaching sides, which leads to a crossing and a change in side. The kinematic lopsidedness is measured from the maximum rotation velocities, averaged over the plateau of the rotation curves. This gives a good estimate of global lopsidedness in the outer parts of the sample galaxies. We find that the mean value of the perturbation parameter denoting the lopsided potential as obtained from the kinematic data is 0.056. 36% of all sample galaxies are globally lopsided, which can be interpreted as the disc responding to a halo that was distorted by a tidal encounter. In Paper II, we study the morphological lopsidedness for the same sample of galaxies.

Rock art of Nlaka'pamux : indigenous theory and practice on the British Columbia Plateau
Creators: name: Arnett, Christopher Anderson
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: The ethnographic and archaeological data on Nlaka’pamux Interior Salish rock art is among the richest of its kind in North America and offers a rare opportunity to study indigenous rock art in the historical and cultural context of its production. Direct historical and cultural continuity offer the advantage of foregrounding indigenous taxonomy and interpretation. With multiple sources available (ethnographic texts, historical texts, archaeological data and localized indigenous knowledge) Nlaka’pamux rock art can be detached from western theory and studied empirically (temporally and spatially) as a material signature of practice within a circumscribed territory. Nlaka’pamux rock painting, according to oral tradition, is an ancient practice. Many rock paintings visible today appeared on certain landforms after the arrival of Europeans and pathogens (smallpox) on the east coast of North America. Oral traditions state that Nlaka’pamux knew of European presence prior to face to face contact and took active measures to mitigate the impact using culturally prescribed means —speeches, dances and rock painting which occurred at 50 or so locations throughout the territory along travel corridors as early as the 16th century and into the 20th century. In all its phases, Nlaka’pamux rock painting is a pro-active historically contingent act of intervention with protection, demographic revitalization and intergenerational memory in mind.
