description: Amplification by stimulated emission of radiation provides an intriguing means for increasing the sensitivity of Atomic Parity Violation (APV) measurements in a pump-probe configuration well adapted to the 6S-7S cesium transition. It takes advantage of the large number of atoms excited along the path of the pump beam. In the longitudinal E-field configuration currently exploited in an ongoing APV measurement, this number is limited only by the total voltage sustainable by the Cs vapor. In order to overcome this limit, we consider, both theoretically and experimentally, the possibility of performing the measurements in a transverse E-field configuration requiring a much lower voltage. We discuss the necessarily different nature of the observable and the magnetoelectric optical effects entering into play. They condition modifications of the experimental configuration with, in particular, the application of a transverse magnetic field. We suggest the possibility of rotating the transverse direction of the fields so as to suppress systematic effects. With a long interaction length, a precision reaching 0.1 percent in a quantum noise limited measurement can be expected, now limited only by the necessity of operating below the threshold of spontaneous superradiant emission of the excited medium. If we approached this limit, however, we could greatly amplify the asymmetry using triggered superradiance.

description: We investigate an effect of the resonant interaction in the case of one-directional propagation of capillary-gravity surface waves arising as the free surface of a rotational water flow. Specifically, we assume a constant vorticity in the body of the fluid which physically corresponds to an underlying current with a linear horizontal velocity profile. We consider the interaction of three distinct modes and we obtain the dynamic equations for a resonant triad. Setting the constant vorticity equal to zero we recover the well known integrable three-wave system.

CMB Comptonization in Clusters: Spectral and Angular Power from Evolving Polytropic Gas

description: The angular power spectrum of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect is calculated in the $Λ$CDM cosmological model with the aim of investigating its detailed dependence on the cluster population, gas morphology, and gas evolution. We calculate the power spectrum for three different mass functions, compute it within the framework of isothermal and polytropic gas distributions, and explore the effect of gas evolution on the magnitude and shape of the power spectrum. We show that it is indeed possible to explain the `excess' power measured by the CBI experiment on small angular scales as originating from the SZ effect without (arbitrary) rescaling the value of $σ_8$, the mass variance parameter. The need for a self-consistent choice of the basic parameters characterizing the cluster population is emphasized. In particular, we stress the need for a consistent choice of the value of $σ_8$ extracted from fitting theoretical models for the mass function to the observed cluster X-ray temperature function, such that it agrees with the mass-temperature relation used to evaluate the cluster Comptonization parameter. Our treatment includes the explicit spectral dependence of the thermal component of the effect, which we calculate at various frequencies. We find appreciable differences between the non-relativistic and relativistic predictions for the power spectrum even for this superposed contribution from clusters at the full range of gas temperatures.

Built Rituals: Healing Rituals Embodied in Architecture
Creators: name: Moss, Chloe
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: How can architecture actively participate in the healing process, not merely as a backdrop but as a transformative tool, a part of an integrative therapeutic system? While the built environment’s impact on physical well-being is widely acknowledged, its influence on mental health remains poorly understood. This project explores the potential role of architecture can have in facilitating healing from collective trauma. Drawing from contemporary insights into psychiatry and mental health therapies to examine both traditional healing spaces and understand alternative spaces, such as memorials, for their therapeutic potential. These informed an approach that argues: ritualised, context-specific architectural language can be harnessed to design spaces that both acknowledge shared trauma and facilitate its processing, creating environments that actively support healing. By embedding ritual into the fabric of the design, architecture transcends its traditional role, becoming a transformative tool in trauma recovery. Supporting the visitors’ healing journey by facilitating small, consistent, and intentional actions woven into daily life. Ritual informs every scale of the design, from the overall form to the smallest details. When architecture is imbued with ritual, intentionality, and context, it has the potential to facilitate an ongoing journey of healing, creating a space that is both reflective and transformative.

description: TRAPPIST-1 is an ultra-cool dwarf hosting a system consisting of seven planets. While orbital properties, radii and masses of the planets are nowadays well constrained, one of the open fascinating issues is the possibility that an environment hospitable to life could develop on some of these planets. Here we use a simple formulation of an energy balance model that includes the vegetation coverage to investigate the possibility of life affecting the climate of the planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system. Results confirm that planet T-e has the best chance for a habitable world and indicate that vegetation coverage significantly affects the resulting temperatures and habitability properties. The influence of vegetation has been evaluated in different scenarios characterized by different vegetation types, land-sea distributions and levels of greenhouse effect. While changes in vegetation type produce small changes, about $0.1\%$, in the habitable surface fraction, different land-sea distributions, by also affecting the vegetation growth, produce different temperature distributions. Finally at latitudes where vegetation grows, the lowering of local albedo still represents a relevant contribution in settling the planetary temperature profiles even when levels of greenhouse effect higher than the Earth-like case are considered.

description: We build up the anticommutator algebra for the fermionic coordinates of open superstrings attached to branes with antisymmetric tensor fields. We use both Dirac quantization and the symplectic Faddeev Jackiw approach. In the symplectic case we find a way of generating the boundary conditions as zero modes of the symplectic matrix by taking a discretized form of the action and adding terms that vanish in the continuous limit. This way boundary conditions can be handled as constraints.

description: Saturated sediment water mixture flow can move as landslide if the vertical sediment concentration is constant and the value takes a maximum sediment concentration, c*, which is sediment concentration in the non-flowing layer in sediment deposition. The flow is debris flow over the rigid bed and the flow can change as debris flow with vertical sediment concentration distribution if the saturated flow reaches downstream reach, where bed inclination is around 17 to 18 degrees. The thinking proposes that it is important to know transition process in between saturated landslide and debris flows in evaluating peak and temporal changes of debris flows in initiation processes for debris-flow mitigation in planning and design of sabo dam, because the transition process can be explained by a relation between bed slope and depth-averaged sediment concentration (e.g., Takahashi 1991). In present study, important knowledge for estimating peak discharge is discussed using experimental data obtained by present flume tests. Flume tests are carried out using prismatic open channel which is set 22 degrees and around 18 degrees at downstream end. Sediment is deposited parallelly to the flume bed and water is supplied steady at upstream end, and the transition of between saturated landslide to debris flow is produced. Two kinds of sediment deposition depth and length are specified in the present tests, and temporal changes of debris flow are measured using side view of digital video camera and debris-flow runoff at downstream end of the flume. The data shows that peak discharge rate of debris flow depends on sediment volume during debris-flow running from the up to the downstream reach, and that entrained sediment volume by a debris flow will be determined by erosion capacity during a debris-flow surge.

description: Although galaxy clusters have proved to be wonderful laboratories for testing a plethora of modified gravity theories and other exotic alternatives to $Λ$CDM, until a few years ago, there was only one paper (from 1974), which obtained a limit on graviton mass of $\mathcal{O}(10^{-29})$ eV with clusters. To rectify this, in the last few years multiple works have obtained different bounds on graviton mass using single cluster data as well as stacking galaxy catalogs. We review these recent limits on graviton mass using galaxy clusters obtained using disparate methods.

Contribution of the Darwin operator to non-leptonic decays of heavy quarks

description: We compute the Darwin operator contribution ($1/m_b^3$ correction) to the width of the inclusive non-leptonic decay of a $B$ meson ($B^+$, $B_d$ or $B_s$), stemming from the quark flavour-changing transition $b \to q_1 \bar q_2 q_3$, where $q_1,q_2 = u, c$ and $q_3 = d, s$. The key ideas of the computation are the local expansion of the quark propagator in the external gluon field including terms with covariant derivative of the gluon field strength tensor and the standard technique of the Heavy Quark Expansion (HQE). We confirm the previously known expressions of the $1/m_b^3$ contributions to the semi-leptonic decay $b \to q_1 \ell \bar ν_\ell$, with $\ell = e, μ, τ$ and of the $1/m_b^2$ contributions to the non-leptonic modes. We find that this new term can give a sizeable correction of about $- 4 \, \%$ to the non-leptonic decay width of a $B$ meson. For $B_d$ and $B_s$ mesons this turns out to be the dominant correction to the free b-quark decay, while for the $B^+$ meson the Darwin term gives the second most important correction - roughly 1/2 to 1/3 of the phase space enhanced Pauli interference contribution. Due to the tiny experimental uncertainties in lifetime measurements the incorporation of the Darwin term contribution is crucial for precision tests of the Standard Model.

description: Quasi-periodic pulsations (QPP) are usually found in the light curves of solar and stellar flares, they carry the features of time characteristics and plasma emission of the flaring core, and could be used to diagnose the coronas of the Sun and remote stars. In this study, we combined the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory and the Nobeyama Radioheliograph (NoRH) to observe an M7.7 class flare occurred at active region 11520 on 19 July 2012. A QPP was detected both in the AIA $131\unit{Å}$ bandpass and the NoRH $17\unit{GHz}$ channel, it had a period of about four minutes. In the spatial distribution of Fourier power, we found that this QPP originated from a compact source and that it overlapped with the X-ray source above the loop top. The plasma emission intensities in the AIA $131\unit{Å}$ bandpass were highly correlated within this region. The source region is further segmented into stripes that oscillated with distinctive phases. Evidence in this event suggests that this QPP was likely to be generated by intermittent energy injection into the reconnection region.

description: D-theory provides an alternative lattice regularization of the (1+1)-d CP(N-1) quantum field theory. In this formulation the continuous classical CP(N-1) fields emerge from the dimensional reduction of discrete SU(N) quantum spins. In analogy to Haldane's conjecture, ladders consisting of an even number of transversely coupled spin chains lead to a CP(N-1) model with vacuum angle θ= 0, while an odd number of chains yields θ= π. In contrast to Wilson's formulation of lattice field theory, in D-theory no sign problem arises at θ= π, and an efficient cluster algorithm is used to investigate the θ-vacuum effects. At θ= πthere is a first order phase transition with spontaneous breaking of charge conjugation symmetry for CP(N-1) models with N>2.

description: The aim of this study was to characterize the functions of the mitochondrial creatine kinases in the Chinese soft-shelled turtle Pelodiscus sinensis (PSCK-MT1 and PSCK-MT2) to characterize function in relation to hibernation. Computational prediction via molecular dynamics simulations showed that PSCK-MT1 had stronger kinase- and creatine-binding affinity than PSCK-MT2. We measured PSCK-MT1 and PSCK-MT2 levels in the myocardium, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, and ovary of P. sinensis before and after hibernation and found that the expression of these enzymes was the most significantly upregulated in the ovary. We enumerated the ovarian follicles and evaluated the physiological indices of P. sinensis and discovered that fat was the main form of energy storage in P. sinensis. Moreover, both PSCK-MTs promoted follicular development during hibernation. Immunohistochemistry was used to study follicular development and revealed that both PSCK-MTs were expressed primarily in the follicular fluid and granulosa layer before and after hibernation. We found that PSCK-MT1 and PSCK-MT2 could play important roles in ovarian follicular development under hibernation. Hence, both PSCK-MTs probably function effectively under the conditions of low temperature and oxygen during hibernation. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

Detection of positive binding glycans by median absolute deviation (MAD) compared to the z-score threshold employed by Cholleti et al.

For the z-score threshold, z-scores were calculated for the average RFU values across all concentrations (as outlined by Cholleti et al. [14]). For the Universal Threshold approach, only microarrays within a determined linear range (see Wang et al. [25] for further details) were used to determine positive binders. As the MAD-based thresholding approach is applied to each microarray separately, individual plots for each concentration are shown for MAD-based thresholding.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: This paper explores the implementation and challenges of proposed anti-racist and racial equity policies within large public school districts in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. A comprehensive investigation of policies and practices examines the district's commitment to fostering inclusivity and equity. The research assesses the effectiveness of these policies in creating a culture of inclusivity. By analyzing district initiatives, such as staff roles and district mandates, to increase the integration of diverse cultural perspectives into the curriculum, such as defined staff roles and district mandates, the study seeks to determine how these efforts support students and staff from varied backgrounds, particularly Black, Indigenous, and people of colour students and staff. This paper will address the scope of current Anti-Racism and Racial Equity policies, evaluate their impact, and propose evidence-based recommendations for enhancing the district’s approach in creating more equitable and culturally diverse learning environments.

description: We propose a novel data-driven framework for assessing the a-priori epidemic risk of a geographical area and for identifying high-risk areas within a country. Our risk index is evaluated as a function of three different components: the hazard of the disease, the exposure of the area and the vulnerability of its inhabitants. As an application, we discuss the case of COVID-19 outbreak in Italy. We characterize each of the twenty Italian regions by using available historical data on air pollution, human mobility, winter temperature, housing concentration, health care density, population size and age. We find that the epidemic risk is higher in some of the Northern regions with respect to Central and Southern Italy. The corresponding risk index shows correlations with the available official data on the number of infected individuals, patients in intensive care and deceased patients, and can help explaining why regions such as Lombardia, Emilia-Romagna, Piemonte and Veneto have suffered much more than the rest of the country. Although the COVID-19 outbreak started in both North (Lombardia) and Central Italy (Lazio) almost at the same time, when the first cases were officially certified at the beginning of 2020, the disease has spread faster and with heavier consequences in regions with higher epidemic risk. Our framework can be extended and tested on other epidemic data, such as those on seasonal flu, and applied to other countries. We also present a policy model connected with our methodology, which might help policy-makers to take informed decisions.

Monopodial plants, epiphytic or sometimes lithophytic. Habit psygmoid, leaves arranged in a plane, dorsoventrally flattened and unifacial. Flowers white, resupinate, 2–6 mm long with free tepals, disposed on a lateral inflorescence, more or less grouped, in a simple raceme. Lip triangular and sometimes slightly trilobate; spur conical or cylindrical; present in most species. Column anther bearing two pollinia on two mace-shaped stipes, linked by a diamond-shaped viscidium; stigma concave and separated from the pollinia by a tridentate rostellum, with the lateral lobes longer than the median lobe.
 Bolusiella is widely distributed in Sub-Saharan Africa (Fig. 1). The Lower Guinea Domain and the Afromontane Region (Kivu-Ruwenzori regional mountain system) represent the centres of diversity of the genus because four of the six recognized taxa occur in these phytochoria.

From SARS to COVID-19 : The Experiences of Chinese Canadian Nurses
Creators: name: Ye, Yayan
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Background: The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and the COVID-19 pandemics were major health crises that had significant impacts on Canada. These pandemics not only exposed weaknesses in the Canadian healthcare system but also magnified existing racism. Chinese Canadian nurses played a critical role in responding to both pandemics, providing care while facing discrimination that worsened their emotional and physical wellbeing. Purpose: This project seeks to explore the experiences of Chinese Canadian nurses during the SARS pandemic in Toronto (2002 to 2003) and the COVID-19 pandemic (2020 to 2023). The study aims to uncover their contributions to health care and challenges related to racism, in order to provide a better historical understanding of their experiences during pandemics. Methods: This project utilizes a historical research approach, analyzing data from both primary and secondary sources. Primary data sources include newspaper articles from major Canadian publications such as the Toronto Star and Vancouver Sun from the Canadian Newsstream database. Findings: The findings highlight that Chinese Canadian nurses made important contribution during the SARS and COVID-19 pandemics but experienced racial discrimination that led to significant emotional and physical stress. Conclusion: This project highlights the contribution of Chinese Canadian nurses during the SARS and COVID-19 pandemics and emphasizes the urgent needs to acknowledge and address racism by implementing better cultural safety strategies within the Canadian healthcare system.

Volumetric bounds for intersections of congruent balls

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Metric Geometry (math.MG)

description: We investigate the intersections of balls of radius $r$, called $r$-ball bodies, in Euclidean $d$-space. An $r$-lense (resp., $r$-spindle) is the intersection of two balls of radius $r$ (resp., balls of radius $r$ containing a given pair of points). We prove that among $r$-ball bodies of given volume, the $r$-lense (resp., $r$-spindle) has the smallest inradius (resp., largest circumradius). In general, we upper (resp., lower) bound the intrinsic volumes of $r$-ball bodies of given inradius (resp., circumradius). This complements and extends some earlier results on volumetric estimates for $r$-ball bodies.

Consistency of Superspace Low Energy Equations of Motion of 4D Type II Superstring with Type II Sigma Model at Tree-Level

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We derive the torsion constraints and show the consistency of equations of motion of four-dimensional Type II supergravity in superspace, with Type II sigma model. This is achieved by coupling the four-dimensional compactified Type II Berkovits' superstring to an N=2 curved background and requiring that the sigma-model has superconformal invariance at tree-level. We compute this in a manifestly 4D N=2 supersymmetric way. The constraints break the target conformal and SU(2) invariances and the dilaton will be a conformal, $SU(2)\times U(1)$ compensator. For Type II superstring in four dimensions, worldsheet supersymmetry requires two different compensators. One type is described by chiral and anti-chiral superfields. This compensator can be identified with a vector multiplet. The other Type II compensator is described by twist-chiral and twist-anti-chiral superfields and can be identified with a tensor hypermultiplet. Also, the superconformal invariance at tree-level selects a particular gauge, where the matter is fixed, but not the compensators. After imposing the reality conditions, we show that the Type II sigma model at tree-level is consistent with the equations of motion for Type II supergravity in the string gauge.

description: We report on high resolution spectroscopy of four giant stars in the Galactic old open clusters Berkeley~29 and Saurer~1 obtained with HIRES at the Keck telescope. These two clusters possess the largest galactocentric distances insofar known for open star clusters, and therefore are crucial objects to probe the chemical pattern and evolution of the outskirts of the Galactic disk. We find that $[Fe/H]=-0.38\pm0.14$ and $[Fe/H]=-0.44\pm0.18$ for Saurer 1 and Berkeley~29, respectively. Based on these data, we first revise the fundamental parameters of the clusters, and then discuss them in the context of the Galactic disk radial abundance gradients. Both clusters seem to significantly deviate from the general trend, suggesting that the outer part of the Galactic disk underwent a completely different evolution compared to the inner disk. In particular Berkeley~29 is clearly associated with the Monoceros stream, while Saurer~1 exhibits very different properties. The abundance ratios suggest that the chemical evolution of the outer disk was dominated by the Galactic halo.

un/BECOME : queering process
Creators: name: Primorac-Tang, Tyler
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: This thesis proposes a new architectural process, questioning what does it mean to operate as the queer architect beyond investigations of queer space. Through defining queerness according to contemporary theoretical positions, this thesis examines a variety of queer theoretical positions describing their qualities which relate to philosophical concerns surrounding the re/production of cis-heteronormative politics as well as queer identity and life history. The described qualities are extrapolated and applied as punctures to the existing architectural process as means to disrupt the dominant forms of knowing and operating. Understanding queerness as a subversion of dominant ideology around design provides means for new ways of knowing and being, and speculates on a domain in which we turn from the rational-masculinized ideal and operate within the illegible, unstable, and circular evolution of queer life history within Vancouver.

description: Geflügelfleischexporte aus der EU und ausdrücklich auch aus Deutschland werden von zivilrechtlichen Akteuren angeklagt. Kritisiert wird zu Dumpingpreisen exportiertes Hähnchenfleisch, das als vermeintliche „Resteverwertung“ in westafrikanische, wirtschaftlich schwache Abnehmerländer geliefert wird und dort lokale Produzenten unter Druck setzt. Deutsche Konsumenten, die vor allem das Brustfilet, nicht aber übrige Teilstücke nachfragen, ermöglichen diese Handelsstrategie, so die Aussage einiger NGOs. Das nachfolgende Paper betrachtet die Exportsituation der deutschen und europäischen Hähnchenbranche. Eine Auswertung der Außenhandelsstatistik und leitfadengestützer Experteninterviews soll deutsche Exportmuster auf Teilstückebene erklären sowie den Ablauf des Exportgeschäftes und Motivationen für Exporte herausstellen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen für Deutschland ein abnehmendes Exportvolumen in Drittstaaten, eine Vielzahl von Handelspartnern sowie eine Diskontinuität der Handelsbeziehungen. Eine Verwertungskaskade basierend auf Absatzkanälen und Entscheidungsmustern deutscher Schlachtunternehmen lässt Rückschlüsse auf Exportmotivationen zu.
Covariant approach to the conformal dynamical equivalence in astrophysics

description: We use covariant techniques to examine the implications of the dynamical equivalence between geodesic motions and adiabatic hydrodynamic flows. Assuming that the metrics of a geodesically and a non-geodesically moving fluid are conformally related, we calculate and compare their mass densities. The density difference is then expressed in terms of the fundamental physical quantities of the fluid, such as its energy and isotropic pressure. Both the relativistic and the non-relativistic case are examined and their differences identified. Our analysis suggests that observational determinations of astrophysical masses based on purely Keplerian motions could underestimate the available amount of matter.

Might Dark Matter be Actually Black?
Creators: name: Chen, Pisin
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: There have been proposals that primordial black hole remnants (BHRs) are the dark matter, but the idea is somewhat vague. We argue here first that the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) may prevent black holes from evaporating completely, in a similar way that the standard uncertainty principle prevents the hydrogen atom from collapsing. Secondly we note that the hybrid inflation model provides a plausible mechanism for production of large numbers of small black holes. Combining these we suggest that the dark matter might be composed of Planck-size BHRs and discuss the possible constraints and signatures associated with this notion.

description: Using the properties of defect lines, we study boundary renormalisation group flows. We find that when there exists a flow between maximally symmetric boundary conditions "a" and "b" then there also exists a boundary flow between "c x a" and "c x b" where "x" denotes the fusion product. We also discuss applications of this simple observation.

description: We propose protocols to prepare highly excited energy eigenstates of a trapped ion in a harmonic trap which do not require laser pulses to induce transitions among internal levels. Instead the protocols rely on smoothly deforming the trapping potential between single and double well configurations. The speed of the changes is set to minimize non-adiabatic transitions by keeping the adiabaticity parameter constant. High fidelities are found for times more than two orders of magnitude smaller than with linear ramps of the control parameter. Deformation protocols are also devised to prepare superpositions to optimize interferometric sensitivity, combining the ground state and a highly excited state.

description: Rubus evadens Focke (1910: 117).
 Rubus viburnifolius Focke (1910: 75), nom. illeg., non Franchet (1895: 63).— Rubus neoviburnifolius Lu & Boufford (2003: 252), nom. illeg. superfl. Type:— CHINA. Yunnan: Simao, collection date unknown, A. Henry 11714 (holotype B, probably destroyed, isotypes A!, E!, K!, MO!, NY!, PE!, US!).
 Rubus nanopetalus Cardot (1914: 300). Type:— CHINA. Yunnan:? Yanjin County, Lao-tsou-te-outze, collection date unknown, B. d' Anty s. n. (holotype P-00746126!).
 Notes: — Rubus viburnifolius Focke (1910: 75) is a later homonym of R. viburnifolius Franchet (1895: 63). In the Flora of China, Lu & Boufford (2003) proposed the name R. neoviburnifolius Lu & Boufford (2003: 252) to replace R. viburnifolius Focke. Lu & Boufford's name, however, is a nomenclaturally superfluous name, because Focke (1910) had already himself proposed R. evadens to replace his earlier later homonym. Therefore the earliest legitimate name, R. evadens Focke, is resurrected here.
