description: Malaria is both a preventable and curable disease if treated early and appropriately. However, it is estimated that every 30 seconds a child dies of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. The use of innovative eHealth/mHealth tools for malaria that seamlessly integrate into the workflow of healthcare workers could potentially ameliorate this problem. Successful design and development of these tools require an overarching understanding of the socio-technical context for the problems and opportunities in the application domain. A series of studies involving malaria management in the Millennium Village Project (MVP) cluster in rural Ghana were performed. A new method introduced by the author was applied to prioritize health information needs of stakeholders that have the potential to have a higher impact in solving health related problems. The result of applying this method was a group of impactful interventions for the MVP malaria program in Ghana. Findings from this study were validated with the MVP Ghana eHealth team, and after mutual agreement, an eHealth/mHealth intervention around malaria supply chain management was selected for further study. User-Centered Design (UCD) methods were adapted for use in a resource poor setting. Functional and non-functional requirements were identified. A low fidelity prototype was created and early usability inputs were collected. A high fidelity prototype was created to provide decision support to health workers through visualizations of stock levels and recommendations of quantities to order. Results from evaluation studies of the high fidelity prototype with end users suggest that they perceive the prototype as both easy to use and useful, with a potential for adoption and with a low risk of implementation. Usability problems found during the course of the study should be addressed to increase the potential of adoption. To obtain a more complete list of usability issues, both users’ and experts’ evaluations are recommended as well as the use of native and foreign test facilitators.

description: Human influence on the environment is becoming increasingly pervasive across the globe, and can drastically impact ecological patterns and processes. For many terrestrial wildlife species, human influence can fragment critical habitat, increase mortality, and threaten habitat connectivity and ultimately the persistence of wildlife populations. This dissertation aims to use multiple conservation ecology methods and tools to test the impact of human influence on the population dynamics of a large carnivore in a human-dominated landscape.
      	To assess the impact of human activity on carnivore ecology, a series of empirical studies were conducted on a small population of American black bear (Ursus americanus) in the Western Great Basin, USA. A long-term dataset including geographic locations of animal habitat choices as well as mortality locations were used in multiple statistical models that tested the response of black bears to human activity. These analyses were conducted at multiple spatial and temporal resolutions to reveal nuances potentially overlooked if analyses were limited to a single resolution.
      	Individual studies, presented as dissertation chapters, examine the relationships between human activity and carnivore ecology. Collectively, the results of these studies find black bear ecology to be highly sensitive to the magnitude and spatial composition of human activity in the Lake Tahoe Basin, observable at both coarse and fine spatial resolutions. The results presented in this study on the influence of human activity on large carnivore population dynamics allow for a more thorough understanding of the various ways common conservation ecology methods and tools can be used to evaluate human-wildlife relationships.

description: The recent trend toward patients participating in their own healthcare has opened up numerous opportunities for computing research. This dissertation focuses on how technology can foster this participation, through user interfaces to effectively communicate personal health status and care progress to hospital patients. I first characterize the design space for electronic information communication to patients through field studies conducted in multiple hospital settings. These studies utilize a combination of survey instruments, and low- and high-fidelity prototypes, including a document-editing prototype through which users can view and manage clinical data to automatically associate it with progress notes. The prototype, activeNotes, includes the first known techniques supporting clinical information requests directly within a document editor. A usage study with ICU physicians at New York-Presbyterian Hospital (NYP) substantiated our design and revealed how electronic information related to patient status and care progress is derived from a typical Electronic Health Record system. Insights gained from this study informed following studies to understand how to design abstracted, plain-language views suitable for patients. We gauged both patient and physician responses to information display prototypes deployed in patient rooms for a formative study exploring their design. Following my reports on this study, I discuss the design, development and pilot evaluations of a prototype Personal Health Record application providing live, abstracted clinical information for patients at NYP. The portal, evaluated by cardiothoracic surgery patients, is the first of its kind to allow patients to capture and monitor live data related to their care. Patient use of the portal influenced the subsequent design of tools to support users in making sense of online medication information.  These tools, designed with nurses and pharmacists and evaluated by cardiothoracic surgery patients at NYP, were developed using topic modeling approaches and text analysis techniques. Embodied in a prototype called Remedy, they enable rapid filtering and comparison of medication-related search results, based on a number of website features and content topics. I conclude by discussing how findings from this series of studies can help shape the ongoing design and development of patient-centered technology.

description: This UBC SEEDS (Social Ecological Economic Development Studies) project activated a space on the UBC campus through the design and fabrication of a architectural seating installation using sustainable biocomposite materials derived from mycelium (mushrooms) and cellulosic byproducts of the BC forestry industry. The aesthetic and structural potential of these materials were explored using laboratory testing and design-based research methodologies. The result was playful and inviting seating for the UBC campus. The installation explored concepts and modes that communicate the values of sustainability in a visceral way through innovative forms on which people can sit and relax.

Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)

description: Projects consist of interconnected dimensions such as objective, time, resource and environment. Use of these dimensions in a controlled way and their effective scheduling brings the project success. Project scheduling process includes defining project activities, and estimation of time and resources to be used for the activities. At this point, the project resource-scheduling problems have begun to attract more attention after Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) and Critical Path Method (CPM) are developed one after the other. However, complexity and difficulty of CPM and PERT processes led to the use of these techniques through artificial intelligence methods such as Genetic Algorithm (GA). In this study, an algorithm was proposed and developed, which determines critical path, critical activities and project completion duration by using GA, instead of CPM and PERT techniques used for network analysis within the scope of project management. The purpose of using GA was that these algorithms are an effective method for solution of complex optimization problems. Therefore, correct decisions can be made for implemented project activities by using obtained results. Thus, optimum results were obtained in a shorter time than the CPM and PERT techniques by using the model based on the dynamic algorithm. It is expected that this study will contribute to the performance field (time, speed, low error etc.) of other studies.

description: Abstract

A basic human right is the availability of clean drinking water, but groundwater contamination—especially from fluoride—poses a serious threat to the environment and public health worldwide. Around 200 million people worldwide are impacted by fluoride pollution that exceeds the WHO's acceptable limit of 1.5 mg/L, which has been found in over 100 nations within the last ten years. The Americas and Australia have fewer instances, whereas Africa, Asia, and Europe have the largest concentrations. Both natural processes, including the weathering of fluoride-rich rocks, and human actions, like the use of pesticides, phosphate fertilisers, and sewage sludge, can introduce fluoride into water systems. From dental and skeletal fluorosis to non-skeletal ailments including muscular weakness, anaemia, and urinary abnormalities, excessive fluoride exposure can result in major health issues. SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-Being) and SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals are directly related to this problem, emphasising how urgently fluoride pollution must be addressed in order to provide everyone with access to clean drinking water by 2030.

description: Market goods demands are specified in terms of quality adjusted prices. The quality adjusted price method (QAPM) enables one to estimate demand using variation in environmental quality alone. An empirical application demonstrates that the QAPM yields consumer surplus estimates that are consistent with those obtained in a conventional demand analysis.

description: † Balbaridae Kear and Cooke, 2001   CONTENTS: † Balbaroo and † Ganawamaya.
STEM AGE: 27.7 Mya (95% HPD: 23.6–32.1 Mya).
CROWN AGE: 22.5 Mya (95% HPD: 18.7–27.3 Mya).
UNAMBIGUOUS CRANIODENTAL SYNAPOMORPHIES: Mandible usually with two or more mental foramina (char. 98: 0→1; ci = 0.063), distinct posterolingual cusp on semi- or fully sectorial P3 present (char. 125: 0→1; ci = 0.200); principal labial and lingual cusps of upper molars connected by well-developed lophs (char. 144: 1→2; ci = 0.200); and midpoints of protoloph and metaloph connected by a “midlink” (char. 145: 0→1; ci = 0.500)
 COMMENTS: The first balbarids to be described, namely † Balbaroo camfieldensis and † B. gregoriensis, were originally referred to Macropodidae based largely on their fully lophodont molars (Flannery et al., 1983). However, Cooke (1997a, 1997 b, 1997c) showed that balbarids and macropodids appear to have evolved lophodonty independently, and Kear and Cooke (2001) subsequently recognized † Balbaridae as a distinct family.
The position of † Balbaridae has varied in published morphological and total-evidence phylogenetic analyses, and the family has not always been recovered as monophyletic (Kear et al., 2007; Kear and Pledge, 2008; Black et al., 2014c; Travouillon et al., 2014b, 2015 a, 2016; Cooke et al., 2015; Butler et al., 2016, 2018; Cascini et al., 2019). However, both of our total-evidence analyses (figs. 32, 33) support balbarid monophyly. A position for † Balbaridae outside Macropodidae + Potoroidae in our dated analysis (fig. 33) is due to the use of topological constraints required to calibrate selected nodes within Macropodiformes. These constraints may have influenced the character optimizations that indicate that presence of welldeveloped lophs connecting the principal labial and lingual cusps of the upper molars, and the presence of a midlink connecting these lophs, are both unambiguous synapomorphies of † Balbaridae. Nevertheless, these optimizations are congruent with Cooke’s (1997a, 1997 b, 1997c) hypothesis that balbarids acquired fully lophodont molars independently of macropodids.
Balbarids were relatively diverse during the late Oligocene, but appear to have declined in diversity from the early Miocene onward, with their last records coming from the late middle or early late Miocene (Faunal Zone D) Encore site at Riversleigh World Heritage area (Butler et al., 2017).

description: Microbial contamination of food can occur at any point in the food supply chain, from production to consumption. Therefore, it is essential to follow proper hygiene and manufacturing practices throughout the entire process to prevent microbiological contamination, which can lead to significant morbidity and mortality among consumers. Recent research has focused on developing innovative technologies to improve food safety and quality without compromising its taste or nutritional value. Future studies should prioritize the creation of simple, cost-effective, and rapid tests for detecting and controlling microbial contamination, as well as the development of new food processing techniques.
Causality for General LTL-definable Properties

description: In this paper we provide a notion of causality for the violation of general Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) properties. The current work is a natural extension of the previously proposed approach handling causality in the context of LTL-definable safety properties. The major difference is that now, counterexamples of general LTL properties are not merely finite traces, but infinite lasso-shaped traces. We analyze such infinite counterexamples and identify the relevant ordered occurrences of causal events, obtained by unfolding the looping part of the lasso shaped counterexample sufficiently many times. The focus is on LTL properties from practical considerations: the current results are to be implemented in QuantUM, a tool for causality checking, that exploits explicit state LTL model checking.

description: Schools in New Jersey are beginning to transform their middle school music programs from a general music based curriculum to an elective, performance-based curriculum. These changes bring new challenges to music educators as they work to expand their performance-based curriculums to include what was taught in general music. Adding to the work that needs to be done to adapt performance-based classes, teachers are beginning to feel frustrated that their needs and the needs of their students are getting lost with the added addition of assessment guidelines and other administrative requirements. The aim of this research project was to work within the framework of Paulo Freire’s Culture circle to support teachers during scheduled Professional Learning Community meetings. Through a series of eight bi-weekly meetings, a group of four music teachers and a dance instructor works to identify generative themes present in their teaching practice. Through problem posing dialogue they worked to understand their generative theme. The teachers in this Professional Learning Community worked together to create and implement individual action plans to address their generative theme. This group of teachers work together in support of each other while they were working within their separate contexts and classrooms. This collaborative action research study positioned the researcher as a facilitator, one who supported the needs of the group and questioned long standing beliefs that help propel the conversation forward. Teachers reflected that they saw a change in what they believed the purpose of these meetings was. They found in impactful to focus on their teaching practices rather than the more administrative tasks involved in teaching. Teachers also reported that by dialoguing about their teacher and the action plans they were working on, they felt more successful in its implementation. Through their action plans, this group of teachers began to see possibilities to have their students create and work in small groups that was not evident before. While the teachers in this study felt an impact of the culture circle, there is more to learn from this group of teachers, and the possibilities culture circles have to effect positive change in teachers and student learning.

description: A formulation of quantum mechanics with additive and multiplicative (q-)difference operators instead of differential operators is studied from first principles. Borel-quantisation on smooth configuration spaces is used as guiding quantisation method. After a short discussion this method is translated step-by-step to a framework based on difference operators. To restrict the resulting plethora of possible quantisations additional assumptions motivated by simplicity and plausibility are required. Multiplicative difference operators and the corresponding q-Borel kinematics are given on the circle and its N-point discretisation; the connection to q-deformations of the Witt algebra is discussed. For a "natural" choice of the q-kinematics a corresponding q-difference evolution equation is obtained. This study shows general difficulties for a generalisation of a physical theory from a known one to a "new" framework.

To the theoretically favoured candidates today belong axions, supersymmetric particles, and to some extent massive neutrinos. The theoretical foundation and experimental situation for each of these is reviewed. In particular, indirect detection methods of supersymmetric dark matter are described. Present experiments are just reaching the required sensitivity to discover or rule out some of these candidates, and major improvements are planned over the next few years.

Using Forensic Science As a Context to Enhance Scientific Literacy

Subjects: Education

description: Major reform documents have promoted the use of inquiry-based curriculum to achieve scientific literacy. Forensic science is an authentic subject that can be used to link the science classroom to a real-world working environment. Given the nature of the subject, forensic science fosters student interest and can be used as a tool to promote scientific literacy. This mixed methods analytical study investigated the use of inquiry-based instruction in the context of a forensic science curriculum and examined its influence on the use of higher-order thinking skills and the development of scientific literacy characteristics. Twenty-four high school students participated in a 6-week inquiry-based forensic science unit designed by the researcher. The Five E inquiry-based instructional model (Bybee and Van Scotter, 2007) was used. Students completed mini-evaluations and group journal entries, and participated in focus group discussions and classroom observations. Qualitative results indicated three major learning outcomes related to the achievement of scientific literacy: 1) the value and benefits of group work and discussion in the problem-solving process; 2) the importance of using higher-order thinking skills in the evaluation and analysis of information; and 3) connections between classroom learning and real-world applications. Five major characteristics of the forensic science curriculum that supported student engagement included: a) opportunities for students to participate in relevant and realistic real-world learning situations through role-playing; b) the goals and objectives of the lessons requiring students to take charge of their own learning; c) the unit objectives' focus on problem-solving skills and deep understanding of science content and processes; d) knowledge construction occurring through social negotiation and collaboration; and e) students reflecting on their thoughts and ideas during the learning process because of self-reflection opportunities embedded within the curriculum. Quantitative analysis of data revealed an increasing level of higher-order thinking across the sequence of mini-evaluation topics and an enhanced use of cognitive skills as the forensic science curriculum progressed. The findings from this study indicated that forensic science can be used as an avenue to promote the development of scientific literacy. The results are beneficial for educators and curriculum developers interested in designing curricula that support scientific literacy objectives in the classroom.

Year: 2017

description: This research project evaluates mycelium-based biocomposite materials for use in an architectural installation to be constructed on the UBC campus during the summer of 2015. Mycelium biocomposites typically consist of cellulosic agricultural waste bound together by mycelium, the scientific term for the web-like root structure of mushroom. These biocomposites offer the promise of achieving structural performance with minimal environmental impacts. The research establishes basic performance criteria and aesthetic qualities of mycelium biocomposites, and explores the feasibility of producing these materials locally using regional mycelium strains and substrate materials.

description: We have calibrated the 6.5 m James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) mid-infrared filters as star formation rate indicators, using JWST photometry synthesized from $Spitzer$ spectra of 49 low redshift galaxies, which cover a wider luminosity range than most previous studies. We use Balmer decrement corrected $\rm{Hα}$ luminosity and synthesized mid-infrared photometry to empirically calibrate the $Spitzer$, WISE and JWST filters as star formation rate indicators. Our $Spitzer$ and WISE calibrations are in good agreement with recent calibrations from the literature. While mid-infrared luminosity may be directly proportional to star formation rate for high luminosity galaxies, we find a power-law relationship between mid-infrared luminosity and star formation rate for low luminosity galaxies ($L_{\rm Hα} \leq 10^{43}~{\rm erg~s^{-1}}$). We find that for galaxies with a $\rm{Hα}$ luminosity of $\rm{10^{40}}~erg~s^{-1}$ (corresponding to a star formation rate of $\sim 0.055~{\rm M_\odot~yr^{-1}}$), the corresponding JWST mid-infrared $νL_ν$ luminosity is between $\rm{10^{40.50}}$ and $\rm{10^{41.00}}~erg~s^{-1}$. Power-law fits of JWST luminosity as a function of $\rm{Hα}$ luminosity have indices between 1.17 and 1.32. We find that the scatter in the JWST filter calibrations decreases with increasing wavelength from 0.39 to 0.20 dex, although F1000W is an exception where the scatter is just 0.24 dex.

Using First Row Transition Metal Hydrides as Hydrogen Atom Donors

description: Radical cyclizations have become a mainstay of synthetic organic chemistry – useful for the construction of C–C bonds in laboratory-scale applications. However, they are seldom used the industrial scale. In large part, this is because of a reliance on Bu3SnH, widely regarded as the best synthetic equivalent to a hydrogen atom.
      	Transition metal hydrides have emerged as promising alternative hydrogen atom sources. Over the last decade, the Norton group has studied three transition metal systems, with an emphasis on quantifying the M–H bond dissociation energies. Over time, the group has shown that, thermodynamically, first-row transition metal hydrides are good hydrogen atom donors; they often have weak M–H bonds. Modest adjustments to the M–H bond strength result in substantial changes to how a hydride processes a given organic substrate.
      	The Norton group has also studied the kinetics of hydrogen atom transfer, and shown that transition metal hydrides are kinetically competent at transferring hydrogen atoms, both to olefinic substrates and to organic radicals. Some of the transition metal complexes are made catalytic under modest pressures of H2, so they can be used for effecting atom-economical radical reactions.
      	I have leveraged the fundamental kinetic and thermodynamic information that has been gathered by the group to develop new radical reactions – ones that cannot be done by Bu3SnH. Herein are described two cases studies: the first is the generation of α-alkoxy radicals by hydrogen atom transfer to enol ethers (Chapter 2). The second is the development of a radical isomerization and cycloisomerization reactions (Chapter 3). Both of these developments have relied upon an understanding of M–H thermochemistry.
      	Discovering new hydrogen atom donors will lead to discovering new radical reactions. In Chapter 4, I revisit two previously reported transition metal hydrides that are likely to transfer hydrogen atoms: (TMS3tren)CrIV–H and [CpV(CO)3H]–. Although the anionic vanadium hydride was reported as a potent hydrogen atom donor nearly forty years ago, my studies suggest that its M–H bond is actually relatively strong. I have therefore reevaluated the reactivity of [CpV(CO)3H]–, and found that although the 18 electron anionic hydride is not a good hydrogen atom donor, the oxidized 17-electron neutral CpV(CO)3H is an extremely potent one. I have made the reactions with [CpV(CO)3H]– catalytic under H2 (now the reactions are done with an added base). The catalytic reactions that use [CpV(CO)3H]– can enact the exact same transformations that tin does, so I have developed a true catalytic replacement for Bu3SnH.

Using Health Policy Levers to Improve Quality and Prevent Infection

description: Preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAI) is a national priority. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that one of every 25 hospitalized patients contract a HAI while receiving care. In 2009, the annual cost for HAIs in United States’ hospitals was estimated to be $40 billion, and there were 99,000 HAI-associated deaths. In nursing homes (NH), the situation is more dire; among the 4 million NH residents each year, there are 1-2.6 million serious infections and 1 out of every 3 NH residents is colonized with a multi-drug resistant organism. In addition to the frequent infections, over prescription of antibiotics in NH is significant, and frequently inappropriate. NH residents with HAIs are subjected to burdensome treatments and diagnostic procedures, leading to more complications in an already vulnerable population in which quality of life not life prolongation is often the treatment goal. Policy levers are actions designed to realize health objectives that can be taken by either public or private entities, and by individuals or groups. Health policy levers are deployed at all levels including federal, state, regional, and local levels. Vaccinations, such as polio, are one of the great success stories of how policy levers can prevent infections. However, undermined and eroded policy levers can have negative public health consequences, such as seen with the 2018-2019 rash of measles outbreaks. There is much work left to be done improving quality related to infections across all care settings. For this dissertation, I utilized the three-paper format and conducted studies examining the effectiveness of health policy levers used to improve healthcare quality and prevent infections across care settings. These studies were: 1) a systematic review of the published evidence on state mandatory reporting of HAI in hospitals; 2) an environmental scan cataloging state supported initiatives in NH infection prevention, and; 3) a quantitative analysis on the effect of new federal NH regulations on NH quality and patient outcomes. In the systematic review, I found that mandatory reporting was associated with reduced central line associate bloodstream infection rates. The environmental scan demonstrated that wide variation existed between states’ initiatives to support infection prevention in NH. In the quantitative analysis, I found that new federal regulations were significantly associated in improved NH quality in UTI rates and vaccination rates for influenza and pneumonia infections. Based on these results, clinical providers, administrators, policy makers and researchers can use health policy levers to reduce infections and improve quality.
Collaboration and Conflict in Writing Center Session Notes

description: This paper investigates the question of conflict in writing center sessions. Using a corpus of session notes from a large public university, I argue that there is a discrepancy in the reportage of conflict in writing center sessions: on the one hand, conflict in session notes from tutors to tutees tends to be concealed in linguistic markers of agreement; on the other hand, instances of disagreement are generally easily acknowledged to writing center administration, but not students. This incongruity and different attitudes in the reportage invite further debate about the role of conflict in tutor tutee interactions, especially as it bears on the improvement of writing. I offer a critique of the orthodoxy of conflict avoidance in writing center theory and practice, and call for more attention both to the genre of the session note as a site of writing center practice and the question of conflict as it relates to tutor-tutee interactions.

description: A setup is proposed to play a quantum version of the famous bimatrix game of Prisoners' Dilemma. Multi-slit electron diffraction with each player's pure strategy consisting of opening one of the two slits at his/her disposal are essential features of the setup. Instead of entanglement the association of waves with travelling material objects is suggested as another resource to play quantum games.

description: Event horizons for fermion quasiparticles naturally arise in moving textures in superconductors and Fermi superfluids. We discuss the example of a planar soliton moving in superfluid 3He-A, which is closely analogous to a charged rotating black hole. The moving soliton will radiate quasiparticles via the Hawking effect at a temperature of about 5 μK, and via vacuum polarization induced by the effective `electromagnetic field' and `ergoregion'. Superfluid 3He-A thus appears to be a useful system for experimental and theoretical simulations of quantum effects related to event horizons and ergoregions.
