description: This report introduces a novel non-invasive neuromodulation approach developed within the HAIXUS framework, aimed at supporting anti-aging and regenerative health through bioelectric stimulation.

Originally authored in December 2024 and first published on ResearchGate, the document outlines the potential of the IntraCavi system to promote cellular rejuvenation, reduce oxidative stress, and enhance neuroplasticity using synchronized electrical, mechanical, optical, and acoustic stimuli delivered via the oral cavity.

By comparing this approach to conventional pharmacological and cosmetic interventions, the analysis highlights a safer, more natural pathway to slow aging processes and support functional longevity.

description: When using the bootstrap in the presence of measurement error, we must first estimate the target distribution function; we cannot directly resample, since we do not have a sample from the target. These and other considerations motivate the development of estimators of distributions, and of related quantities such as moments and quantiles, in errors-in-variables settings. We show that such estimators have curious and unexpected properties. For example, if the distributions of the variable of interest, $W$, say, and of the observation error are both centered at zero, then the rate of convergence of an estimator of the distribution function of $W$ can be slower at the origin than away from the origin. This is an intrinsic characteristic of the problem, not a quirk of particular estimators; the property holds true for optimal estimators.

description: We initiated a deep-imaging survey of Scorpius-Centaurus A-F stars with predicted warm inner and cold outer belts of debris reminiscent of the architecture of emblematic systems such as HR 8799. We present resolved SPHERE images of a narrow ring of debris around the F5-type star HD 141011 that was observed as part of our survey in 2015, 2016, and 2019. The ring extends up to ~1.1" (~141 au) from the star in the IRDIS and IFS data obtained in 2016 and 2019. The disk is not detected in the 2015 data which are of poorer quality. The disks is best reproduced by models of a noneccentric ring centered on the star with an inclination of $69.1\pm0.9^{\circ}$, a position angle of $-24.6 \pm 1.7^{\circ}$, and a semimajor axis of $127.5\pm3.8$ au. The combination of radial velocity and imaging data excludes brown-dwarf (M>13.6 MJup) companions coplanar with the disk from 0.1 to 0.9 au and from 20 au up to 500 au (90% probability). HD 141011 adds to the growing list of debris disks that are resolved in Sco-Cen. It is one of the faintest disks that are resolved from the ground and has a radial extent and fractional width ($\sim$12.5%) reminiscent of Fomalhaut. Its moderate inclination and large semimajor axis make it a good target for the James Webb Space Telescope and should allow a deeper search for putative companions shaping the dust distribution.

description: We present evidence that transition region red-shifts are naturally produced in episodically heated models where the average volumetric heating scale height lies between that of the chromospheric pressure scale height of 200 km and the coronal scale height of 50 Mm. In order to do so we present results from 3d MHD models spanning the upper convection zone up to the corona, 15 Mm above the photosphere. Transition region and coronal heating in these models is due both the stressing of the magnetic field by photospheric and convection `zone dynamics, but also in some models by the injection of emerging magnetic flux.

description: We present a multi-wavlength infrared study of the nearby, edge-on, spiral galaxy NGC 891. We have examined 20 independent, spatially resolved IR images of this galaxy, 14 of which are newly reduced and/or previously unpublished images. These images span a wavelength regime from 1.2 microns in which the emission is dominated by cool stars, through the MIR, in which emission is dominated by PAHs, to 850 microns, in which emission is dominated by cold dust in thermal equilibrium with the radiation field. The changing morphology of the galaxy with wavelength illustrates the changing dominant components. We detect extra-planar dust emission in this galaxy, consistent with previously published results, but now show that PAH emission is also in the halo, to a vertical distance of z >= 2.5 kpc. We compare the vertical extents of various components and find that the PAHs (from 7.7 and 8 micron data) and warm dust (24 microns) extend to smaller z heights than the cool dust (450 microns). For six locations in the galaxy for which the S/N was sufficient, we present SEDs of the IR emission, including two in the halo - the first time a halo SED in an external galaxy has been presented. We have modeled these SEDs and find that the PAH fraction is similar to Galactic values (within a factor of two), with the lowest value at the galaxy's center, consistent with independent results of other galaxies. In the halo environment, the fraction of dust exposed to a colder radiation field, is of order unity, consistent with an environment in which there is no star formation. The source of excitation is likely from photons escaping from the disk.

description: In 1970 V. Efimov predicted a puzzling quantum-mechanical effect that is still of great interest today. He found that three particles subjected to a resonant pairwise interaction can join into an infinite number of loosely bound states even though each particle pair cannot bind. Interestingly, the properties of these aggregates, such as the peculiar geometric scaling of their energy spectrum, are universal, i.e. independent of the microscopic details of their components. Despite an extensive search in many different physical systems, including atoms, molecules and nuclei, the characteristic spectrum of Efimov trimer states still eludes observation. Here we report on the discovery of two bound trimer states of potassium atoms very close to the Efimov scenario, which we reveal by studying three-particle collisions in an ultracold gas. Our observation provides the first evidence of an Efimov spectrum and allows a direct test of its scaling behaviour, shedding new light onto the physics of few-body systems.

Ideological practice in labour news reporting
Creators: name: Paulson, Marilee Reimer
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study of ideology in the news media attempts to describe the ways in which a practical activity such as labour reporting is implicated in a larger process of constructing a view of the world from the perspective and in terms of the enterprises of those who "rule". Ideological practice in this study involves those organizational practices for creating "objective" news accounts which introduce a fundamental source of bias from a management perspective. In Chapter I the social context in which labour news accounts are made in advanced capitalist societies is discussed. She traditional approach to communications theory is criticized as a means to describe how an institutionalized or ""biased" point of view is produced. This approach is rejected in favour of working within the framework of the "social organization of knowledge This is concerned with the understanding of how "factual", documented accounts are constructed in bureaucratically organized settings. In Chapter II and III we examine the practical work activities involved in labour reporting at the "Star", a major Canadian daily newspaper in Western Canada. The practices involved in generating news accounts and establishing their factual status in an organizationally warrantable manner at the "Star" are examined. In Chapter II, three aspects involved in the generation of news accounts are viewed, i.e., those routine practices for locating, defining and writing news accounts. The manner in which, "events" and "facts" are constructed in these processes reveals that the presuppositions regarding "labour" attain practical significance in the procedures for perceiving what could be defined as newsworthy. Chapter III contains a discussion of the methods for documenting these accounts which express a management perspective in the construction of "labour". In this section, the following practices are examined for establishing the factual status of an account in terms of this relation to labour: a) the use of "reliable" sources to authorize an interpretation; b) reference to "objective" standards of interpretation to guard against "bias"; c) how the reporter's opinion on "the story" are separated from "the facts", and d) the production of "facts" through consensus. We conclude that the ordinary, routine procedures for reporting labour news construct a "managerial" conception of "labour" in the media. The ideological practices for "objective" reporting structure the relation of peoples' everyday experiences to their modes of thought about the world. This symbolic mode of action is one aspect of the unequal distribution of knowledge In advanced capita list societies and is a product of the ruling institutions which reproduce the extant relations of domination under capitalism.

description: This article considers a semiparametric spatial autoregressive (SAR) panel data model with fixed effects and time-varying coefficients. The time-varying coefficients are allowed to follow unknown functions of time, while the other parameters are assumed to be unknown constants. We propose a local linear quasi-maximum likelihood estimation method to obtain consistent estimators for the SAR coefficient, the variance of the error term, and the nonparametric time-varying coefficients. The asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators are also established. Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to evaluate the finite sample performance of our proposed method. We apply the proposed model to study labor compensation in Chinese cities. The results show significant spatial dependence among cities and the impacts of capital, investment, and the economy’s structure on labor compensation change over time.

description: In van der Waals heterostructures (HS) consisting of stacked MoSe$_2$ and WSe$_2$ monolayers, optically bright interlayer excitons (ILE) can be observed when the constituent layers are crystallographically aligned. The symmetry of the monolayers allows for two different types of alignment, in which the momentum-direct interlayer transitions are either valley-conserving (R-type alignment) or changing the valley index (H-type anti-alignment). Here, we study the valley polarization dynamics of ILE in magnetic fields up to 30~Tesla by time-resolved photoluminescence (PL). For all ILE types, we find a finite initial PL circular degree of polarization ($DoP$) after unpolarized excitation in applied magnetic fields. For ILE in H-type HS, we observe a systematic increase of the PL $DoP$ with time in applied magnetic fields, which saturates at values close to unity for the largest fields. By contrast, for ILE in R-type HS, the PL $DoP$ shows a decrease and a zero crossing before saturating with opposite polarization. This unintuitive behavior can be explained by a model considering the different ILE states in H- and R-type HS and their selection rules coupling PL helicity and valley polarization.

description: We present a novel recommender systems dataset that records the sequential interactions between users and an online marketplace. The users are sequentially presented with both recommendations and search results in the form of ranked lists of items, called slates, from the marketplace. The dataset includes the presented slates at each round, whether the user clicked on any of these items and which item the user clicked on. Although the usage of exposure data in recommender systems is growing, to our knowledge there is no open large-scale recommender systems dataset that includes the slates of items presented to the users at each interaction. As a result, most articles on recommender systems do not utilize this exposure information. Instead, the proposed models only depend on the user's click responses, and assume that the user is exposed to all the items in the item universe at each step, often called uniform candidate sampling. This is an incomplete assumption, as it takes into account items the user might not have been exposed to. This way items might be incorrectly considered as not of interest to the user. Taking into account the actually shown slates allows the models to use a more natural likelihood, based on the click probability given the exposure set of items, as is prevalent in the bandit and reinforcement learning literature. \cite{Eide2021DynamicSampling} shows that likelihoods based on uniform candidate sampling (and similar assumptions) are implicitly assuming that the platform only shows the most relevant items to the user. This causes the recommender system to implicitly reinforce feedback loops and to be biased towards previously exposed items to the user.

description: Microwave pinning-mode resonances found around integer quantum Hall effects, are a signature of crystallized quasiparticles or holes. Application of in-plane magnetic field to these crystals, increasing the Zeeman energy, has negligible effect on the resonances just below Landau level filling $ν=2$, but increases the pinning frequencies near $ν=1$, particularly for smaller quasiparticle/hole densities. The charge dynamics near $ν=1$, characteristic of a crystal order, are affected by spin, in a manner consistent with a Skyrme crystal.

description: WASP-43 b is one of the most important candidates for detecting an orbital decay. We investigate pieces of evidence for this expectation as variations in its transit timings, based on the ground and space observations. The data set includes the transit observations at the TUBITAK National Observatory of Turkey and Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). We present a global model of the system, based on the most precise photometry from space, ground, and archival radial velocity data. Using the homogenized data set and modeled light curves, we measure the mid-transit times for WASP-43 b. Our analysis agrees with a linear ephemeris for which we refine the light elements for future observations of the system. However, there is a negative difference between the transit timings derived from TESS data in two sectors (9 and 35) and a hint of an orbital period decrease in the entire data set. Both findings are statistically insignificant due to the short baseline of observations, which prevents us from drawing firm conclusions about the orbital decay of this ultra-short-period planet. However, assuming the effect of this decrease of the period in the planet's orbit, we derive a lower limit for the reduced tidal quality factor as Q'_* > (4.01 +_ 1.15). 10^5 from the best-fitting quadratic function. Finally, we calculate a probable rotational period for this system as 7.52 days from the out-of-transit flux variation in the TESS light curves due to spot modulation.

The northwest coast sisiutl
Creators: name: Paterson, Roderick Paul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis comprises an investigation of the formal structure, iconography and iconology of a being mythically and visually represented on the Northwest Coast of North America, the sisiutl or double-headed serpent. The following arguments are made or are implicit in the body of the paper: 1. The prime reason for the importance of sisiutl is that it is seen by the peoples of the Northwest Coast as a supernatural being whose powers are directly accessible to them, and as one who will intercede with the other supernaturals on behalf of those humans who have obtained its help as a guardian. 2. Shamanism and sisiutl are strongly associated with each other because of the role of sisiutl as mediator; the position of the shaman in human society, that is, as one who has contact with both the natural and supernatural worlds, is paralleled by the similar attributes of sisiutl. 3. The central face seen so often on representations of sisiutl, here referring specifically to the Kwakiutl primary variant, generally represents BaxbakualanuXsiwae, the cannibal spirit; but, as shown by the fact that other supernaturals are sometimes depicted in this central position, BaxbakualanuXsiwae is actually representative of the supernaturals as a group. This is so because BaxbakualanuXsiwae is the most important character involved in the sacred winter dance cycle of the Kwakiutl. The face seen in association with the northern variants of sisiutl apparently represents the "Princess who suckled the grubworm", a being described in a myth shared by the Tlingit, Tsimshian and Haida. 4. Sisiutl, the Kwakiutl primary variant of the double-headed serpent, is echoed in similar beings of the Tsimshian, Tlingit, Bella Coola, Nootka and Haida groups. Sisiutl occurs in many Kwakiutl myths, but it is an established supernatural spirit with many attributes and no myth of origin. This fact supports the notion that the character sisiutl originated among the northern tribes and was adopted by the Kwakiutl. 5. In addition, the question of visual affinity among the Northwest Coast sisiutl and sisiutl-like beings in Shang/Chou China and seventeenth-nineteenth century New Zealand is briefly addressed. This investigation indicates that structurally-oriented inquiry into phenomena far removed from each other in space and time is more productive than research based on diffusion theory.

description: Information literacy and higher-order thinking skills represent modern challenges faced by instructors in postsecondary education. Large-scale studies have suggested the teaching of these skills may be ineffective, and the online modality further challenges instructors to meet this need. A sequential explanatory mixed methods study was conducted to investigate this learning outcome in the discrete timespan of single courses and instructor approaches to successful incremental progress in this area. Quantitative analysis revealed a statistically significant increase in higher-order thinking skills in the course of a semester among students in IGETC 1B pattern transfer-equivalent courses intended to teach higher-order thinking. Qualitative interpretation described facilitative instruction of course-specific higher-order thinking by way of iterative metacognitive tasks as responsible for the learning gains. The instructor role of climate setting was aimed at optimizing group process, and relational quality was integral to the role of learning regulation. These findings provide depth to the prevalent view in the literature that student learning is unsuccessful overall in this area. Implications and recommendations for policy and practice were discussed.

The effect of memory capacity on the foraging efficiency of primates

ecological intelligence hypothesis

description: The ecological intelligence hypothesis proposes that factors of diet, such as the food type eaten and its spatiotemporal food distribution in the habitat, are the primary selective force behind the evolution of intelligent behaviour. Spatial memory is thought to be an important cognitive ability that is adapted to forage more efficiently. In this study, an Agent-Based Model (ABM) was created to test the effect of spatial memory capacity on the foraging efficiency of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes). Research has shown that chimpanzees use long-term spatial memory to relocate fruit-bearing trees in their complex habitat. However, it is not clear yet how the memory capacity, including both its size (how many items can be remembered) and retention (how long items can be remembered), contributes to foraging efficiency. The foraging efficiency is here defined as the amount of food eaten during ten days of traveling. Based on experiments of the ABM, it appeared that both memory size and retention did not influence the foraging efficiency of the agent. Thus, memory capacity did not affect the foraging efficiency of chimpanzees, and no evidence is provided for the ecological intelligence hypothesis. The current ABM is a good starting point to study how spatial memory could be beneficial for the fitness of individuals. Hence it is recommended to use the ABM of this study as a prototype and update it to a more accurate and enhanced model, using the proposed improvements.

description: The peculiarities of coherent spin radiation by magnetic nanomolecules is investigated by means of numerical simulation. The consideration is based on a microscopic Hamiltonian taking into account realistic dipole interactions. Superradiance can be realized only when the molecular sample is coupled to a resonant electric circuit. The feedback mechanism allows for the achievement of a fast spin reversal time and large radiation intensity. The influence on the level of radiation, caused by sample shape and orientation, is analysed. The most powerful coherent radiation is found to occur for an elongated sample directed along the resonator magnetic field.

description: A generalization of the S-parameter retrieval method for finite three-dimensional inhomogeneous objects under arbitrary illumination and observation conditions is presented. The effective permittivity of such objects may be rigorously defined as a solution of a nonlinear inverse scattering problem. In this respect the problems of S-parameter retrieval, effective medium theory, and even the derivation of the macroscopic electrodynamics itself, turn out to be all mathematically equivalent. We confirm analytically and observe numerically effects that were previously reported in the one-dimensional strongly inhomogeneous slabs: the non-uniqueness of the effective permittivity and its dependence on the illumination and observation conditions, and the geometry of the object. Moreover, we show that, although the S-parameter retrieval of the effective permittivity is scale-free at the level of problem statement, the exact solution of this problem either does not exist or is not unique. Using the results from the spectral analysis we describe the set of values of the effective permittivity for which the scattering problem is ill-posed. Unfortunately, real nonpositive values, important for negative refraction and invisibility, belong to this set. We illustrate our conclusions using a numerical reduced-order inverse scattering algorithm specifically designed for the effective permittivity problem.

description: We consider the J/psi photo-production data collected at HERA in the light of next-to-leading order predictions for the color-singlet yield and polarization. We find that, while the shapes of inclusive distributions in the transverse momentum and inelasticity are well reproduced, the experimental rates are larger than those given by the color-singlet contribution alone. Furthermore, the next-to-leading order calculation predicts the J/psi's to be mostly longitudinally polarized at high transverse momentum in contrast with the trend of the preliminary data from the ZEUS collaboration.

The marriage law and family change in China with special reference to Kwangtung Province 1950-1953
Creators: name: Ng, Roxana
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis is concerned with discovering some changes in the Chinese family after 1949. Since the Marriage Law, promulgated on May 1, 1950, is the most important piece of legislation by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regarding marriage and family reforms, this study thus focuses on the Marriage Law and the subsequent campaigns for its implementation. The time period investigated is from 1950 to 1953, when the Marriage Law campaigns were launched on a national scale. In order to find out how the Law was enforced on the local level, the province of Kwangtung is chosen as a case study. The thesis begins with a discussion of the historical situations of the Chinese family and its changes before Liberation. It then examines the scope and purpose of the Marriage Law. The various implementation campaigns, first on the national level, and then in Kwangtung, are described respectively. Lastly, the study attempts to assess the impact of Marriage Law implementation movements and to speculate on some changes which have occurred in the contemporary Chinese family by using recent research and tourists' accounts on China. This study is basically a historical survey making use of: (a) official documents on the Marriage Law implementation, such as directives, propaganda handbooks, and so on; (b) reports and readers' opinions published in Chinese newspapers; and (c) magazines and periodicals from China. Secondary sources include visitors' reports on China, field-work and researches done both in China and in Hong Kong. It is often argued that the Chinese leadership aims at the abolition of the family institution. The present investigation reveals that, while the Chinese government indeed wants to disgard some elements in the traditional family system, the family itself is retained as the basic unit of production. In fact, the Marriage Law is the main "raison d'etre" for the continuing existence of the family. The strengths of family organization are utilized by the Communist leadership to promote the development of a socialist state in China.
Bulk entropy is crucial to validate the second law of the extended black hole thermodynamics

description: The extended black hole thermodynamics in which the cosmological constant plays the role of pressure significantly enriches the phase structure of the theory. In order to understand the extended black hole thermodynamics more precisely, we let the value of the cosmological constant vary dynamically via tunneling from one vacuum to another in a black hole induced vacuum decay. In this process, entropy of the matter/energy released by a black hole is crucial to validate the second law of thermodynamics. In other words, without taking this bulk entropy into account, entropy associated with the black hole and cosmological horizons may not always increase. Since the bulk entropy is not represented by the black hole and the cosmological horizons, this result calls for a more careful interpretation of the holographic principle in which environmental effects are taken into account.

The epistemology of the transformation problem in Marx’s Capital
Creators: name: Nelson, Malcolm MacKinnon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis introduces the arguments of the new French "Structuralist" school of Marxism led by Louis Althusser, and attempts to test the validity of their proposals by applying them to a traditional economic problem in "Capital"; that of the transformation problem. The first chapter outlines the structuralist perspective, it's uniqueness, and it's effect on a reading of Marx, by comparing it to the more popular theoretical traditions within Marxism of historicism and humanism. The conclusions of this discussion, especially its epistemological ramifications, are then extended in a re-examination of Engels' relationship to Marx, and the determinate role which he (Engels) played in "interpreting" historical materialism. Working from Engels' understanding of the transformation problem (the transition from volume I to volume, III in "Capital"), the extant literature surrounding the debate Is introduced in chapter three, and special attention is paid to how the basic premises of this problem have re-surfaced in recent neo-Ricardian debates. In other words, an attempt is made to construct a continuum between the early criticisms of Marx, — Bohm-Bawerk, Bortkiewitz, etc. — and the rationale of Pierro Sraffa's work as it has been employed by Maurice Dobb and Ronald Meek. Following this discussion, the early theoretical roots of the labour theory of value — i. e., Adam Smith and David Ricardo — are developed so as to provide a basis for understanding Marx's theoretical "break" with the traditional object of political economy. Here, the emphasis is placed on the dissimilarity of Marx's problematic from that of classical political economy, and how this dissimilarity is due to his new epistemological presuppositions. The intent of this study is to illustrate that, by following the structuralist interpretation of "Capital", the "transformation problem" is, and never was, an obstacle in the logic of Marx's discourse; secondly, that the "issue" of the "transformation problem has had it's roots in a series of epistemological misconceptions over the real nature of Marx's problematic in "Capital". In short, this thesis attempts to identify a new object in Marx's work according to the structuralist reading.

description: The aim of this work is to determine fundamental parameters of three Ap stars, GO And (HD 4778), $κ$ Psc (HD 220825), and 84 UMa (HD 120198), using spectroscopic techniques. By analysing these stars, we complete the sample of Ap stars for which fundamental parameters have additionally been derived by means of interferometry. This enables a cross-comparison of results derived by direct and indirect methods. For all investigated stars, we determined fundamental parameters and derived chemical abundances that are typical for Ap stars. The abundances are mainly characterised by a gradual increase of heavy element atmospheric abundances from an order of magnitude for iron peak elements up to very significant excesses of 3-4 dex of the rare-earth elements relative to the solar values. The only exception is Ba, whose abundance is close to the solar abundance. There is also a significant He deficiency in the atmospheres of HD 120198 and HD 220825, whereas the He abundance in HD 4778 is close to the solar abundance. We do not find significant Fe and Cr stratification. Using these abundances, we constructed self-consistent atmospheric models for each star. The effect of the surface chemical inhomogeneity on the derived fundamental parameters did not exceed +/-100 K in effective temperature, which lies within the range of errors in similar self-consistent analyses of Ap stars. Finally, we compared spectroscopically derived effective temperatures, radii, and luminosity for 13 out of 14 Ap stars in a benchmark sample with the interferometric results. While radii and luminosity agree within the quoted errors of both determinations, the spectroscopic effective temperatures are higher than the interferometric temperatures for stars with temperatures $T_{eff} >$ 9000 K. The observed hydrogen line profiles favour the spectroscopically derived temperatures.

description: Within EOSC-Nordic, we started with the hypothesis that the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is being constructed from many services which already exist and are made available by various stakeholders: national providers, universities, research organisations, commercial companies, etc. Furthermore, we made an assumption that to engage service providers in the region, EOSC needs to provide a value-add that goes beyond increasing the visibility of services. In this deliverable, we provide an overview of the work we have done, present the results of the EOSC Nordic service gateway that was set up, and discuss what lessons we have learned. We conclude by highlighting possible directions for future work.
description: This deliverable is approved by the EC on 2nd March 2023. The EOSC-Nordic project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 857652.

description: The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has identified a total of 212 cataclysmic variables, most of which are fainter than 18th magnitude. This is the deepest and most populous homogeneous sample of cataclysmic variables to date, and we are undertaking a project to characterise this population. We have found that the SDSS sample is dominated by a great ``silent majority'' of old and faint CVs. We detect, for the first time, a population spike at the minimum period of 80 minutes which has been predicted by theoretical studies for over a decade.
