An analytical platform for cumulative impact assessment in northeastern British Columbia
Creators: name: Strimbu, Bogdan Miha
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The combined influence on the environment of all projects occurring in a single area is evaluated through cumulative impact assessments (CIA), which consider the consequences of multiple projects, each possibly insignificant on its own, yet important when evaluated collectively. Traditionally, the future human activities are included in CIA using an analytical platform, commonly based on complex models that supply precise predictions but with asymptotically null accuracy. To compensate for the lack of accuracy of the current CIA I have proposed a shift in the paradigm governing the CIA. The paradigm shift involves a change in the focus of CIA investigations from the detailed analysis of one unlikely future to the identification of the patterns describing the future changes in the environment. To illustrate the approach, a set of 144 possible and equally likely futures were developed that aimed to identify the potential impacts of forest harvesting and petroleum drilling on the habitat suitability of moose and American marten. The evolution of two measures of habitat suitability (average HSI and surface of the stands with HSI>0.5) was investigated using univariate and multivariate repeated measures. Both analytical techniques (i.e., univariate or multivariate) revealed that the human activities could induce at least one cycle (with a period larger than 100 years), in the moose and American marten habitat dynamics. The planning period was separated into three or four distinct periods (depending on the investigation methodology) following a sinusoidal pattern (i.e., increase – constant – decrease in the habitat suitability measures). The attributes that could induce significant changes in the environment are the choice of harvesting age and the valued ecosystem component. The choice of the valued ecosystem component is critical to the analysis and could change the conclusions of the CIA.

description: Models of inflation based on axions, which owe their popularity to the robustness against UV corrections, have also a very distinct class of signatures. The relevant interactions of the axion are a non-perturbative oscillating contribution to the potential and a shift-symmetric coupling to gauge fields. We review how these couplings affect the cosmological perturbations via a unified study based on the in-in formalism. We then note that, when the inflaton coupling to gauge fields is high enough to lead to interesting observational results, the backreaction of the produced gauge quanta on the inflaton dynamics becomes relevant during the final stage of inflation, and prolongs its duration by about 10 e-foldings. We extend existing results on gravity wave production in these models to account for this late inflationary phase. The strong backreaction phase results in an enhancement of the gravity wave signal at the interferometer scales. As a consequence, the signal is potentially observable at Advanced LIGO/VIRGO for the most natural duration of inflation in such models. Finally, we explicitly compute the axion couplings to gauge fields in string theory construction of axion monodromy inflation and identify cases where they can trigger interesting phenomenological effects.

Long-term changes in river-floodplain dynamics : implications for salmonid habitat in the Interior Columbia basin, USA
Creators: name: Tomlinson, Matthew James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Salmonids (salmon and trout) are threatened, endangered or at-risk throughout much of their historic range in western North America. However, a lack of detailed information about historic floodplain, riparian and channel condition makes it difficult to disentangle potential causes of population declines (e.g., habitat degradation vs. overfishing). For this research, historic habitat was reconstructed along five salmonid-bearing tributaries of the Columbia River using historic (1949) aerial photographs. Historic airphotos were scanned and orthorectified to create a 0.5 m resolution orthomosaic compatible with a USDA National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) compressed county mosaic of modern (2006) imagery. Floodplain extent, land cover and stream reach type, as well as several types of floodplain and channel habitat important to salmonids, were delineated manually for both time periods. These features were compared between 1949 and 2006, across the five tributaries and at the reach level, using a combination of transition matrices, paired t-tests and ANOVAs. Quantifying these features helped provide historic and modern landscape-level indicators of floodplain, riparian and riverine condition. The predominance of historic agriculture and contemporary urban expansion have likely reduced important salmonid habitat features in the Wenatchee system. Transitions of island braided channels to straight reaches were associated with significant reach shortening and increased anthropogenic modification to floodplain and riparian areas. When comparing the 1949 and 2006 landscapes, a loss of meandering reaches coincided with a reduction in the types of off-channel habitats associated with lateral channel migration (such as slow/stagnant and dry channels). Increased fragmentation of remaining habitat in highly modified river-floodplains may reduce the accessibility of contemporary floodplain habitat to salmonids. Unavoidable mapping error (due principally to solar glare) likely contributed to overestimating the historic predominance of straight reach types and an underestimate of island braided reaches. This research provides an example of how anthropogenic activities may have contributed to declines in high quality salmonid habitat in the study area and can guide the prioritization of restoration efforts. The general methodology developed here can be adapted to other river floodplains throughout Canada and the USA where extensive anthropogenic modification may be of management concern.

description: Low temperature properties of the spin-1/2 frustrated ladder with ferromagnetic rungs and legs, and two different antiferromagnetic next nearest neighbor interaction are investigated using the modified spin wave approximation in the region with ferromagnetic ground state. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility and magnetic structure factors is calculated. The results are consistent with the numerical exact diagonalization results in the intermediate temperature range. Below this temperature range, the finite size effect is significant in the numerical diagonalization results, while the modified spin wave approximation gives more reliable results. The low temperature properties near the limit of the stability of the ferromagnetic ground state are also discussed.

description: A one-dimensional rule-based model for flocking, that combines velocity alignment and long-range centering interactions, is presented and studied. The induced cohesion in the collective motion of the self-propelled agents leads to a unique group behaviour that contrasts with previous studies. Our results show that the largest cluster of particles, in the condensed states, develops a mean velocity slower than the preferred one in the absence of noise. For strong noise, the system also develops a non-vanishing mean velocity, alternating its direction of motion stochastically. This allows us to address the directional switching phenomenon. The effects of different sources of stochasticity on the system are also discussed.

description: Physical entities are ultimately (re)constructed from elementary yes/no events, in particular clicks in detectors or measurement devices recording quanta. Recently, the interpretation of certain such clicks has given rise to unfounded claims which are neither necessary nor sufficient, although they are presented in that way. In particular, clicks can neither inductively support nor "(dis)prove" the Kochen-Specker theorem, which is a formal result that has a deductive proof by contradiction. More importantly, the alleged empirical evidence of quantum contextuality, which is "inferred" from violations of bounds of classical probabilities by quantum correlations, is based on highly nontrivial assumptions, in particular on physical omniscience.

description: A (124)-oriented SrBi4Ti4O15 (SBTi) ferroelectric thin film with high volume fraction of αSBTi(124)=97% was obtained using a metal organic decomposition process on SiO2/Si substrate coated by (110)-oriented LaNiO3 (LNO) thin film. The remanent polarization and coercive field for (124)-oriented SBTi film are 12.1 μC/cm2 and 74 kV/cm, respectively. No evident fatigue of (124)-oriented SBTi thin film can be observed after 1{\times}10e9 switching cycles. Besides, the (124)-oriented SBTi film can be uniformly polarized over large areas using a piezoelectric-mode atomic force microscope. Considering that the annealing temperature was 650°C and the thickness of each deposited layer was merely 30 nm, a long-range epitaxial relationship between SBTi(124) and LNO(110) facets was proposed. The epitaxial relationship was demonstrated based on the crystal structures of SBTi and LNO.

description: The phonon-assisted interband optical absorption spectrum of silicon is calculated at the quasiparticle level entirely from first principles. We make use of the Wannier interpolation formalism to determine the quasiparticle energies, as well as the optical transition and electron-phonon coupling matrix elements, on fine grids in the Brillouin zone. The calculated spectrum near the onset of indirect absorption is in very good agreement with experimental measurements for a range of temperatures. Moreover, our method can accurately determine the optical absorption spectrum of silicon in the visible range, an important process for optoelectronic and photovoltaic applications that cannot be addressed with simple models. The computational formalism is quite general and can be used to understand the phonon-assisted absorption processes in general.

This paper is devoted to side step this drawback through the use of correlation function approach. Moreover, we put forward an easy-to-handle formula, written in terms of the experimentally accessible actual extended volume fraction, which is found to match several types of growths. Computer simulations have been done for corroborating the theoretical approach.

description: Motivated by recent experiments on material Ba3NiSb2O9, we propose two novel spin liquid phases (A and B) for spin-1 systems on a triangular lattice. At the mean field level, both spin liquid phases have gapless fermionic spinon excitations with quadratic band touching, thus in both phases the spin susceptibility and C_v/T saturate to a constant at zero temperature, which are consistent with the experimental results on Ba3NiSb2O9. On the lattice scale, these spin liquid phases have Sp(4) ~ SO(5) gauge fluctuation; while in the long wavelength limit this Sp(4) gauge symmetry is broken down to U(1)xZ_2 in type A spin liquid phase, and broken down to Z_4 in type B phase. We also demonstrate that the $A$ phase is the parent state of the ferro-quadrupole state, nematic state, and the noncollinear spin density wave state.

multiple object tracking

description: Multi-Objekt-Tracking (MOT) ist ein Problem der Bildanalyse, welches die Lokalisierung und Verknüpfung von Objekten in einer Bildsequenz über die Zeit umfasst, mit zahlreichen Anwendungen in Bereichen wie autonomes Fahren, Robotik oder Überwachung. Neben technischen Anwendungsgebieten besteht auch ein großer Bedarf an MOT in biomedizinischen Anwendungen. So können beispielsweise Experimente, die mittels Lichtmikroskopie über mehrere Stunden oder Tage hinweg erfasst wurden, Hunderte oder sogar Tausende von ähnlich aussehenden Objekten enthalten, was eine manuelle Analyse unmöglich macht. Um jedoch zuverlässige Schlussfolgerungen aus den verfolgten Objekten abzuleiten, ist eine hohe Qualität der prädizierten Trajektorien erforderlich. Daher werden domänenspezifische MOT-Ansätze benötigt, die in der Lage sind, die Besonderheiten von lichtmikroskopischen Daten zu berücksichtigen. In dieser Arbeit werden daher zwei neuartige Methoden für das MOT-Problem in Lichtmikroskopie-Bildern erarbeitet sowie Ansätze zum Vergleich der Tracking-Methoden vorgestellt. Um die Performanz der Tracking-Methode von der Qualität der Segmentierung zu unterscheiden, wird ein Ansatz vorgeschlagen, der es ermöglicht die Tracking-Methode getrennt von der Segmentierung zu analysieren, was auch eine Untersuchung der Robustheit von Tracking-Methoden gegeben verschlechterter Segmentierungsdaten erlaubt. Des Weiteren wird eine graphbasierte Tracking-Methode vorgeschlagen, welche eine Brücke zwischen einfach anzuwendenden, aber weniger performanten Tracking-Methoden und performanten Tracking-Methoden mit vielen schwer einstellbaren Parametern schlägt. Die vorgeschlagene Tracking-Methode hat nur wenige manuell einstellbare Parameter und ist einfach auf 2D- und 3D-Datensätze anwendbar. Durch die Modellierung von Vorwissen über die Form des Tracking-Graphen ist die vorgeschlagene Tracking-Methode außerdem in der Lage, bestimmte Arten von Segmentierungsfehlern automatisch zu korrigieren. Darüber hinaus wird ein auf Deep Learning basierender Ansatz vorgeschlagen, der die Aufgabe der Instanzsegmentierung und Objektverfolgung gleichzeitig in einem einzigen neuronalen Netzwerk erlernt. Außerdem lernt der vorgeschlagene Ansatz Repräsentationen zu prädizieren, die für den Menschen verständlich sind. Um die Performanz der beiden vorgeschlagenen Tracking-Methoden im Vergleich zu anderen aktuellen, domänenspezifischen Tracking-Ansätzen zu zeigen, werden sie auf einen domänenspezifischen Benchmark angewendet. Darüber hinaus werden weitere Bewertungskriterien für Tracking-Methoden eingeführt, welche zum Vergleich der beiden vorgeschlagenen Tracking-Methoden herangezogen werden.

description: We present a study of dense molecular gas kinematics in seventeen nearby protostellar systems using single-dish and interferometric molecular line observations. The non-axisymmetric envelopes around a sample of Class 0/I protostars were mapped in the N2H+ (J=1-0) tracer with the IRAM 30m, CARMA and PdBI as well as NH3 (1,1) with the VLA. The molecular line emission is used to construct line-center velocity and linewidth maps for all sources to examine the kinematic structure in the envelopes on spatial scales from 0.1 pc to ~1000 AU. The direction of the large-scale velocity gradients from single-dish mapping is within 45 degrees of normal to the outflow axis in more than half the sample. Furthermore, the velocity gradients are often quite substantial, the average being ~2.3 km\s\pc. The interferometric data often reveal small-scale velocity structure, departing from the more gradual large-scale velocity gradients. In some cases, this likely indicates accelerating infall and/or rotational spin-up in the inner envelope; the median velocity gradient from the interferometric data is ~10.7 km/s/pc. In two systems, we detect high-velocity HCO+ (J=1-0) emission inside the highest-velocity \nthp\ emission. This enables us to study the infall and rotation close to the disk and estimate the central object masses. The velocity fields observed on large and small-scales are more complex than would be expected from rotation alone, suggesting that complex envelope structure enables other dynamical processes (i.e. infall) to affect the velocity field.

Disease avoidance mechanisms and their implications
Creators: name: Duncan, Lesley Alexandra
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Pathogens and parasites posed significant fitness threats to our ancestors. As a consequence of these enduring threats, there are likely to have evolved a set of cognitive and affective systems designed to facilitate the behavioral avoidance of disease-causing pathogens and their carriers – including individuals who are already infected. The behavioural immune system is a suite of attentional, affective, cognitive, and behavioural responses which function to decrease the probability of contracting pathogens by activating aversive responses to indirect cues that heuristically connote the presence of infectious agents. These cues, however, are at best probabilistically related to the actual presence of pathogens, because the majority of pathogens are too small to be detected. Specific hypotheses were developed to test the influence of pathogen avoidance motivations on three aspects of social cognition. The first focuses on individual variation in concerns with pathogens. The second topic addressed pertains to the types of physical features that act as triggers to activate the behavioural immune system. The third topic addressed the extent to which pathogen avoidance mechanisms play a role in the way we learn cues which connote pathogen presence. In conclusion, this thesis provides evidence which is consistent with the operation of a psychological system which functions to prevent the transmission of infectious threats. The results reported here represent both a substantial contribution to our understanding of the subtle effects of these processes on early cognitive process and a starting point for the application of our existing knowledge to solving real world problems that have great potential for providing social and theoretical rewards.

description: We present the Atlas3D HI survey of 166 nearby early-type galaxies (ETGs) down to M(HI)~10^7 M_sun. We detect HI in ~40% of all ETGs outside the Virgo cluster and in ~10% of all ETGs inside it. This demonstrates that it is common for non-cluster ETGs to host HI. The HI morphology varies from regular discs/rings (the majority of the detections) to unsettled gas distributions. The former are either small discs (M(HI)<10^8 M_sun) confined within the stellar body and sharing the same kinematics of the stars, or large discs/rings (M(HI) up to 5x10^9 M_sun) extending to tens of kpc from the host galaxy and frequently kinematically decoupled from the stars. Neutral hydrogen provides material for star formation in ETGs. Galaxies with central HI exhibit signatures of star formation in ~70% of the cases, ~5 times more frequently than galaxies without central HI. The central ISM is dominated by molecular gas. In ETGs with a small gas disc the conversion of HI into H_2 is as efficient as in spirals. The ETG HI mass function has M*~2x10^9 M_sun and slope=-0.7. ETGs host much less HI than spirals as a family. However, a significant fraction of them is as HI-rich as spirals. The main difference between ETGs and spirals is that the former lack the high-column-density HI typical of the bright stellar disc of the latter. We find an envelope of decreasing M(HI) with increasing environment density. The gas-richest ETGs live in the poorest environments (where star-formation is more common), galaxies in the centre of Virgo have the lowest HI content, and the cluster outskirts are a transition region. We find an HI morphology-density relation. At low environment density HI is mostly distributed on large discs/rings. More disturbed HI morphologies dominate environment densities typical of rich groups, confirming the importance of processes occurring on a galaxy-group scale for the evolution of ETGs.

description: 固体中における電子の阻止能(SP)は，非弾性散乱を記述する基本的なパラメータの一つであり，表面電子分光法において電子輸送をシミュレートする場合に不可欠な物理量である．また，放射線計量における基本的物理量でもある。SPの値は10keV以上ではいわゆる相対論的Betheの式が一般に用いられている。しかし，10keV以下が表面電子分光では重要である。そこで，講演者らはPennの単極近似(SPA) を用いて，元素固体のSPを計算してきた。今回は 低エネルギー領域へ拡張するためにLindhardの複素誘電関数と実測したELFを用いるFull Penn Algorithmを用いて４１元素固体について10 eV - 30 keVの範囲で計算した。同時に，相対論補正もおこなった。

description: Cooperative lot-sizing models with backlogging and heterogeneous costs are studied in Guardiola et al. (2020). In this model several firms participate in a consortium aiming at satisfying their demand over the planing horizon with minimal operation cost. Each firm uses the best ordering channel and holding technology provided by the participants in the consortium. The authors show that there are always fair allocations of the overall operation cost among the firms so that no group of agents profit from leaving the consortium. This paper revisits those cooperative lot-sizing models and presents a new family of cost allocations, the unitary Owen points. This family is an extension of the Owen set which enjoys very good properties in production-inventory proble, introduced by Guardiola et al. (2008). Necessary and sufficient conditions are provided for the unitary Owen points to be fair allocations. In addition, we provide empirical evidence, throughout simulation, showing that the above condition is fulfilled in most cases. Additionally, a relationship between lot-sizing games and a certain family of production-inventory games, through Owen's points of the latter, is described. This interesting relationship enables to easily construct a variety of fair allocations for cooperative lot-sizing models.

description: This exploratory study is concerned with treatment of specific sexual dysfunctions -- premature ejaculation, ejaculatory incompetence, impotence, female orgasmic dysfunction, dyspareunia, vaginismus and sexual inadequacy in the aging male and female -- and with training of therapists to provide treatment for these dysfunctions. The study addresses itself to the following questions: what factors contribute to the development of sexual dysfunction; is sexual dysfunction a problem in itself or merely a symptom of relationship and/or personality problems; what forms of treatment seem to be most effective in treating sexual dysfunction; what preparation, education and training is necessary for a therapist to enable him/her to provide treatment; and what professions (from the viewpoint of expertise) should have this particular preparation and training? There are two components to the study -- an extensive literature review and the distribution of a questionnaire by mail to selected specialists in the field of treatment of sexual dysfunction. Analysis of the data is descriptive. Factors which contribute to the development of sexual dysfunction are numerous. Respondents indicated, however, ci1at treatment usually involves a direct approach to the sexual problem, either as the primary emphasis of treatment or as a part of a more comprehensive treatment program. Specific training techniques are used by most of the respondents. A medical examination is considered necessary prior to or as an initial step in treatment in at least 90 percent of all cases, regardless of type of dysfunction. Training and personal qualities considered necessary include knowledge and understanding of physiology, research findings, personality and personality disorders, interpersonal relationships and knowledge of treatment methods, including specific training techniques, empathy, warmth, genuineness, ability to talk about explicit sexual matters openly and comfortably and confidence in one's own sexuality and sexual activity. Implications and recommendations for training in the field of social work are discussed, with some discussion of relevance to medicine, theology and psychology.

description: We develop area and volume comparison theorems for the evolution of spacelike, acausal, causally complete hypersurfaces in Lorentzian manifolds, where one has a lower bound on the Ricci tensor along timelike curves, and an upper bound on the mean curvature of the hypersurface. Using these results, we give a new proof of Hawking's singularity theorem.

How many Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays could we expect from Centaurus A?

description: The Pierre Auger Observatory has associated a few ultra high energy cosmic rays with the direction of Centaurus A. This source has been deeply studied in radio, infrared, X-ray and $γ$-rays (MeV-TeV) because it is the nearest radio-loud active galactic nuclei. Its spectral energy distribution or spectrum shows two main peaks, the low energy peak, at an energy of $10^{-2}$ eV, and the high energy peak, at about 150 keV. There is also a faint very high energy (E $\geq$ 100 GeV) $γ$-ray emission fully detected by the High Energy Stereoscopic System experiment. In this work we describe the entire spectrum, the two main peaks with a Synchrotron/Self-Synchrotron Compton model and, the Very High Energy emission with a hadronic model. We consider p$γ$ and $pp$ interactions. For the p$γ$ interaction, we assume that the target photons are those produced at 150 keV in the leptonic processes. On the other hand, for the pp interaction we consider as targets the thermal particle densities in the lobes. Requiring a satisfactory description of the spectra at very high energies with p$γ$ interaction we obtain an excessive luminosity in ultra high energy cosmic rays (even exceeding the Eddington luminosity). However, when considering pp interaction to describe the $γ$-spectrum, the obtained number of ultra high energy cosmic rays are in agreement with Pierre Auger observations. Moreover, we calculate the possible neutrino signal from pp interactions on a Km$^3 $ neutrino telescope using Monte Carlo simulations.

description: Branes and defects in topological Landau-Ginzburg models are described by matrix factorisations. We revisit the problem of deforming them and discuss various deformation methods as well as their relations. We have implemented these algorithms and apply them to several examples. Apart from explicit results in concrete cases, this leads to a novel way to generate new matrix factorisations via nilpotent substitutions, and to criteria whether boundary obstructions can be lifted by bulk deformations.

description: In this paper we establish well-posedness for scalar conservation laws on closed manifolds M endowed with a constant or a time-dependent Riemannian metric for initial values in L^\infty(M). In particular we show the existence and uniqueness of entropy solutions as well as the L^1 contraction property and a comparison principle for these solutions. Throughout the paper the flux function is allowed to depend on time and to have non-vanishing divergence. Furthermore, we derive estimates of the total variation of the solution for initial values in BV(M), and we give, in the case of a time-independent metric, a simple geometric characterisation of flux functions that give rise to total variation diminishing estimates.

description: We have calculated IMFPs for 41 elemental solids, 44 inorganic compounds and 12 organic compounds at equal energy intervals on a logarithmic scale corresponding to increments of 10% from 10 eV to 200 keV. These calculations were made with ELFs using the relativistic full Penn algorithm. The ELFs for semiconductors and several inorganic compounds were obtained from first-principles calculations with the WIEN2K and FEFF codes from 1 eV to 1 MeV. Our calculated IMFPs could be fitted to a modified relativistic Bethe equation for inelastic scattering of electron in matter for energies from 50 eV to 200 keV. The averageRMS deviation in these fits was 0.8% for the 41 elemental solids.  The new IMFPs were also compared with IMFPs from the predictive TPP-2M equation.
