description: Background: Ketamine is a N-methyl D-aspartate antagonist that blocks pain stimuli transmission and could prove useful for the complex treatment of acute-on-chronic pain. Setting: A low-dose ketamine protocol as an adjunct to conventional treatment was implemented in a major urban center. Aim: To explore the research question “what is the effect of low-dose ketamine continuous intravenous infusions on pain of highly opioid tolerant adults following spinal surgery?” Participants: All patients had spine surgery and used a minimum of 100mg of oral morphine equivalent pre-operatively. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted. Data from individuals treated with conventional therapy from the year prior to protocol implementation were compared to data from those who also received ketamine post-implementation. Outcome measures included pain scores and daily opioid consumption on post-operative day 0 through 5, time to ambulation, time to discharge and adverse effects. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between conventional therapy and ketamine patients.

description: Emissions trading is a crucial policy tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in a cost-effective way. The world’s largest existing emissions trading scheme is the European Union’s cap-and–trade Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS). It was established in 2005 through the Emissions Trading Directive to help the European Union and its member states to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fulfill their commitments under the Kyoto Protocol in a cost-effective way. The Directive recognizes that linking the EU ETS to other emissions trading schemes would increase the cost-effectiveness of reaching the community’s emissions reduction commitment. When the EU ETS was launched in 2005, in its first phase, it covered over 11,500 energy-intensive installations across the then 15 EU member states, representing 45 percent of the EU’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Currently in its second trading period, from 2008 to 2012, the EU ETS now addresses emissions from the enlarged EU, with 27 member states. The EU ETS is also linked to domestic emissions trading schemes in Norway, Iceland and Lichtenstein. Most recently, in August 2012, Australia and the EU announced their intention of linking their emissions trading schemes. Switzerland is also considering the establishment of a domestic emissions trading scheme and anticipating linking to the EU ETS in the future. Because of its size and harmonization experience, this scheme offers a starting point for establishing a global network of greenhouse gas emissions trading schemes. Greenhouse gas emissions trading schemes in Canada, in particular, the proposed federal scheme and the existing Alberta provincial scheme are also potential candidates for linkage under article 25 of the EU Trading Directive, through an agreement for the mutual recognition of allowances. However, the different designs of the EU and Canadian domestic emissions schemes will pose challenges in establishing linkage. This thesis identifies some of the key features in the design of emissions trading schemes and the implications of these design features when exploring linkage between the EU ETS and the Canadian emissions trading schemes.

description: Compact muon solenoid (CMS) is a general-purpose detector designed to run at the highest luminosity at the CERN large hadron collider (LHC). Its distinctive features include a 4 T superconducting solenoid with 6 m diameter by 12.5 m long free bore, enclosed inside a 10000-ton return yoke made of construction steel. Accurate characterization of the magnetic field everywhere in theCMSdetector, including the large ferromagnetic parts of the yoke, is required. To measure the field in and around ferromagnetic parts, a set of flux-loops and Hall probe sensors will be installed on several of the steel pieces. Fast discharges of the solenoid during system commissioning tests will be used to induce voltages in the flux-loops that can be integrated to measure the flux in the steel at full excitation of the solenoid. The Hall sensors will give supplementary information on the axial magnetic field and permit estimation of the remanent field in the steel after the fast discharge. An experimental R&D program has been undertaken, using a test flux-loop, two Hall sensors, and sample disks made from the same construction steel used for the CMS magnet yoke. A sample disc, assembled with the test flux-loop and the Hall sensors, was inserted between the pole tips of a dipole electromagnet equipped with a computer-controlled power supply to measure the excitation of the steel from full saturation to zero field. The results of the measurements are presented and discussed.

Removal of acid-extractable organics from oil sands process-affected water using carbon-based adsorbents

description: In surface mining process, 1.9 volumes of freshwater are used for each volume of bitumen produced and the used water, called oil sands process-affected water (OSPW), is stored in tailings ponds. Acid-extractable organics (AEO), one of the components of OSPW, are believed to be the main component of toxicity in OSPW, and create harmful effects to aquatic organisms, mammals and birds. To discharge OSPW into environment safely and reclaim the tailings ponds into natural ecosystem, the objective is to remove 90-99% AEO from OSPW. Canada has abundant resources of biomass waste materials to prepare biochar and activated carbon (AC), which can be applied for the removal of AEO from OSPW. In this thesis, the impact of biochar and AC properties, and synthesis methods for the removal of AEO from OSPW have been studied. Aspen wood AC samples were prepared by chemical (H3PO4) and physical (CO2) activation methods, and characterized and tested for the removal of AEO from steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) water and OSPW. The role of physical properties of AC for AEO removal was investigated. The surface area and total pore volume of AC were positively correlated with AEO removal of SAGD water and OSPW.The impact of biochar properties on AEO adsorption from OSPW was studied. Biochar from wheat straw with the highest ash content (14 %) had the highest adsorption capacity (0.59 mg/g). The adsorption capacity had a positive correlation with metal content (mainly Al and Fe) of biochar. These results indicated that the metal sites acted as Lewis acids that can form coordination bonds with the naphthenates, the main constituent of the AEO. The influence of physical properties of carbon-based adsorbents on AEO adsorption kinetics was also investigated. As expected, there were diffusion limitations when adsorbing AEO onto microporous adsorbents, while larger pore materials were free of intra-particle diffusion limitations, as confirmed by the adsorption of alkylated cyclopentane carboxylic acid. The outcome of this research provides an insight into the application of biomass based adsorbents for AEO adsorption.

description: In this cross-provincial Canadian inquiry, the life world of the superintendent of a large urban public education system is revealed, creating understandings of what it means to be in this experience. The existing research literature hinted at what it means to care, to set purpose, to lead and to govern a large urban public education system, but it did not address it to the depth and breadth required for deep understanding of this work. This hermeneutic inquiry seeks to understand "What is the truth about being a superintendent of a large urban public education system?" The revealing, the uncovering, and the concealing help us to understand differently by illuminating the complex nature of the experience. The paradox within Gadamer's book Truth and Method is not unlike the paradox within this study, for the kind of "truth" of which Gadamer wrote, could not be revealed by any kind of method (Jardine,1994). Truth is constantly being revealed - in a state of aletheia (Moules et al, 2015, p.76) - unlike the notion of truth as equated with frequency, reoccurrence, and control the natural sciences have carried for years. In examining the experience of three superintendents, there was an opportunity to open up and reveal parts of our experiences that, as Jardine would say, were concealed or closed, to enliven that which seemed routine, deadened, or lethal, and to remember many of things that were forgotten along the way" (p.120). It was the opportunity to say "Really?" to the world.

description: We report on the first observation of an X-ray outburst of a Be/X-ray binary pulsar LS V +44 17/RX J0440.9+4431, and the discovery of an absorption dip structure in the pulse profile. An outburst of this source was discovered by MAXI GSC in 2010 April. It was the first detection of the transient activity of LS V +44 17 since the source was identified as a Be/X-ray binary in 1997. From the data of the follow-up RXTE observation near the peak of the outburst, we found a narrow dip structure in its pulse profile which was clearer in the lower energy bands. The pulse-phase-averaged energy spectra in the 3$-$100 keV band can be fitted with a continuum model containing a power-law function with an exponential cutoff and a blackbody component, which are modified at low energy by an absorption component. A weak iron K$α$ emission line is also detected in the spectra. From the pulse-phase-resolved spectroscopy we found that the absorption column density at the dip phase was much higher than those in the other phases. The dip was not seen in the subsequent RXTE observations at lower flux levels. These results suggest that the dip in the pulse profile originates from the eclipse of the radiation from the neutron star by the accretion column.

description: Energy companies must adapt to a rapidly changing and, at times, unpredictable business context. In response, some companies are looking inside their organizations to capabilities that can be reconfigured to capitalize on opportunities that will improve their economic and environmental performance. I use the dynamic capabilities framework to conduct a variance study examining challenges to reconfiguring capabilities for new technology adoption in Alberta’s oil sands. I find that a lack of formalized routines and deliberate planning associated with an entrepreneurial dominant logic are antecedents to negative reconfiguration outcomes. Informal routines are difficult to transfer and result in a ‘non transfer’ of capabilities in reconfiguration. In addition, fast paced planning can lead to a negative transfer where existing capabilities are not applicable to the new opportunity. I further find that a high velocity market intensified by the unpredictability of the natural system moderate the impact of an entrepreneurial dominant logic in reconfiguration. By explicating the micro foundations of a dynamic capability for reconfiguration, I provide insights into the tension between sensing and seizing opportunities in an entrepreneurial, incumbent firm and capability reconfiguration. I diverge from the extant literature by considering an entrepreneurial, fast paced response to external opportunity rather than one constrained by inertia and core rigidities. Data for this study is generated from 71 interviews conducted through an in-depth case study stemming from a creative sentence order connected to environmental noncompliance at Suncor Energy, Canada’s largest integrated energy company.
Differential rotation of main-sequence dwarfs: predicting the dependence on surface temperature and rotation rate

description: Gyrochronology and recent theoretical findings are used to reduce the number of input parameters of differential rotation models. This eventually leads to a theoretical prediction for the surface differential rotation as a function of only two stellar parameters - surface temperature and rotation period - that can be defined observationally. An analytical approximation for this function is suggested. The tendency for the differential rotation to increase with temperature is confirmed. The increase is much steeper for late F-stars compared to G- and K-dwarfs. Slow and fast rotation regimes for internal stellar rotation are identified. A star attains its maximum differential rotation at rotation rates intermediate between these two regimes. The amplitude of the meridional flow increases with surface temperature and rotation rate. The structure of the flow changes considerably between cases of slow and fast rotation. The flow in rapid rotators is concentrated in the boundary layers near the top and bottom of the convection zone with very weak circulation in between.

description: The invariance of the speed of light in all inertial frames - the second postulate of special theory of relativity (STR) - is shown to be an inevitable consequence of the relativity principle of special theory of relativity taken in conjunction with the homogeneity of space and time in all inertial frames, i.e., the 1st postulate of STR. The new approach presented here renders the learning of special theory of relativity logically simpler, as it makes use of only one postulate.

description: Pectus Carinatum (PC) presents as an overgrowth of costal cartilages resulting in a sternal protrusion. Treatment of PC is performed with a pectus carinatum orthosis (PCO) that compresses the protrusion. Injuries may arise when this PCO is over-tightened. For the first time, a force measurement system (FMS) was constructed that measured PCO forces. The purpose of this study was to determine if participants could accurately attain their clinically prescribed force (CF) over time, and if the protrusion stiffness (PS) influences the participant-applied forces (PF) and correction rate (CR). Results demonstrated that most PFs (75%) exceeded their associated CF (0.46-5.01 lbs). Further investigation is required to determine clinical significance. PS had a positive relationship with PF, but no relationship with CR. Future studies focusing on improved displacement measurements would enhance the ability to quantify PS. Developing a FMS to provide real-time feedback should also be considered to improve PCO efficacy.

description: Cd(II) complexes with N-acetylcysteine (H2NAC), selenourea (SeU), and thiourea (TU) in solution were investigated using NMR and XAS spectroscopic techniques. From the Cd K-edge EXAFS spectrum of a Cd(II)-SeU methanol solution at 200 K containing CCd(II)=0.1 M and CSeU≥0.4 M, the local structure of a Cd(SeU)4 tetrahedral species with Cd-Se bond distance of was determined. NMR measurement of this solution shows a single sharp peak at 578 ppm, which is in agreement with the reported speciation. For Cd(II)-SeU solutions with a lower concentration of selenourea, a mixture of species was observed. NMR spectra of Cd(II)-TU solutions revealed a mixture of species at low TU/Cd(II) mole ratios. The structures of these complexes were determined using Cd K-edge EXAFS spectroscopy, LIII-edge XANES, and NMR. Cd(II)-N-acetylcysteine solutions with CCd(II) = 0.1 M and NAC/Cd(II) mole ratios of 2.0–20.0 at pH = 7.5 and 11.0 have been investigated. They show a mixture of CdS3O3, CdS3O, and CdS4 species at low NAC concentration and species at high NAC concentration.

description: The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) is one of three Square Kilometre Array Precursor telescopes and is located at the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory in the Murchison Shire of the mid-west of Western Australia, a location chosen for its extremely low levels of radio frequency interference. The MWA operates at low radio frequencies, 80-300 MHz, with a processed bandwidth of 30.72 MHz for both linear polarisations, and consists of 128 aperture arrays (known as tiles) distributed over a ~3 km diameter area. Novel hybrid hardware/software correlation and a real-time imaging and calibration systems comprise the MWA signal processing backend. In this paper the as-built MWA is described both at a system and sub-system level, the expected performance of the array is presented, and the science goals of the instrument are summarised.

description: Musicians who perform for pay are seen in every city in the world, but the work of musicians is rarely framed as a practice which warrants sociological attention. Instead, popular culture discourse systematically focuses on the work of musicians by talking about individual artists, their ingenuity and their inspirations. People may view musicians as professionals, but this profession is rarely understood as a practice which has many layers and nuances. This study provides such an understanding by asking musicians who play gigs for a living in Calgary about what they do to survive as artists. Through in-depth interviews with sixteen individuals and ethnographic analysis of the various activities that musicians do, this study reveals the diversity of orientations and ways in which musicians do musician work, and the profoundly important social context in which musicians are able to sustain themselves as cultural workers.

Remarks. Chrysis angustula is the most common cuckoo wasp species in the Nordic and Baltic countries. The northernmost records are from Finnish Lapland (Li: Inari). Old records in the literature of “ C. ignita ” probably often refer to this species. Linsenmaier (1959, 1997) used the name C. angustula gracilis for specimens with dense and fine punctation at the base of the second tergite. However, most authors have not considered gracilis to be a separate subspecies. In fact, the status of gracilis is uncertain, because the type material is lost (Niehuis 2000). In 2000, Niehuis described the subspecies C. angustula alpina based on its morphology and restricted distribution within the Alps. In northern Europe, only the nominotypical subspecies has been found.

description: Structure fluctuations and conformational changes accompany all biological processes involving macromolecules. The paper presents a classification of protein residues based on the normalized equilibrium fluctuations of the residue centers of mass in proteins and a statistical analysis of conformation changes in the side-chains upon binding. Normal mode analysis and an elastic network model were applied to a set of protein complexes to calculate the residue fluctuations and develop the residue classification. Comparison with a classification based on normalized B-factors suggests that the B-factors may underestimate protein flexibility in solvent. Our classification shows that protein loops and disordered fragments are enriched with highly fluctuating residues and depleted with weakly fluctuating residues. To calculate the dihedral angles distribution functions, the configuration space was divided into cells by a cubic grid. The effect of protein association on the distribution functions depends on the amino acid type and a grid step in the dihedral angles space. The changes in the dihedral angles increase from the near-backbone dihedral angle to the most distant one, for most residues. On average, one fifth of the interface residues change the rotamer state upon binding, whereas the rest of the interface residues undergo local readjustments within the same rotamer.

description: We use distribution amplitudes of the light $Σ$ baryon and the most general form of the interpolating current for heavy $Σ_b$ baryon to investigate the semileptonic $Σ_b\rightarrow Σl^+l^-$ transition in light cone QCD sum rules. We calculate all twelve form factors responsible for this transition and use them to evaluate the branching ratio of the considered channel. The order of branching fraction shows that this channel can be detected at LHC.

description: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that often negatively impacts behaviour, cognition, and academic achievement. Children with ADHD also exhibit deficits in executive functioning (EF). Current conceptualizations of ADHD suggest that deficits across multiple cognitive processes, rather than a single core deficit, contribute to the manifestation of the disorder. In the current study, children with ADHD (n = 40) and typical controls (n = 36), ages 8 to 12, were compared on performance-based measures and behaviour ratings of EF, including inhibition, verbal and visuospatial working memory, and set shifting. Children with ADHD demonstrated significantly weaker performance on both the verbal and visuospatial working memory tasks, but no group differences emerged on the inhibition and set shifting tasks. Group differences remained when gender and cognitive scores were statistically controlled, but some differences disappeared when academic scores were entered as covariates. Parent behaviour ratings revealed significantly weaker EF scores for the ADHD group across all measures evaluated; all differences remained with the inclusion of gender, cognitive scores, and academic performance as covariates. Correlational analyses revealed modest, yet significant, associations between performance-based measures and behaviour ratings of EF; however, these associations were not uniquely correlated between performance-based tasks and behaviour ratings of EF hypothesized to measure the same underlying construct. Findings highlight the importance of using a combination of performance-based and behaviour ratings of EF in the assessment and treatment of ADHD. Implications for the clinical and diagnostic utility of EF assessment in ADHD are addressed.

description: We demonstrate that the interaction between two emitters can be controlled by means of the efficient excitation of surface plasmon modes in graphene. We consider graphene surface plasmons supported by either two-dimensional graphene sheets or one-dimensional graphene ribbons, showing in both cases that the coupling between the emitters can be strongly enhanced or suppressed. The super- and subradiant regimes are investigated in the reflection and transmission configurations. Importantly, the length scale of the coupling between emitters, which in vacuum is fixed by the free space wavelength, is now determined by the wavelength of the graphene surface plasmons that can be extremely short and be tuned at will via a gate voltage.

description: We reconsider the problem of determining the semiclassical 3-point function in the Euclidean AdS_3 model. Exploiting the affine symmetry of the model we use solutions of the classical Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov (KZ) equation to compute the saddle point of the action in the presence of three vertex operators. This alternative derivation reproduces the "heavy charge" classical limit of the quantum 3-point correlator. It is different from the recently proposed expression obtained by generalised Pohlmeyer reduction in AdS_2

description: It is known that given a stable holomorphic pair $(E ,ϕ)$, where $E$ is a holomorphic vector bundle on a compact Kähler manifold $X$ and $ϕ$ is a holomorphic section of $E$, the vector bundle $E$ admits a Hermitian metric solving the vortex equation. We generalize this to pairs $(\E ,ϕ)$, where $\E$ is a reflexive sheaf on $X$.

description: The current paper examines digital disinformation, and it focuses on the verification tools used by journalists to combat the phenomenon. Furthermore, advanced methods and techniques for creating disinformation content in addition to the features of the internet that have facilitated its spread are discussed. These factors have altered journalism fundamentally. Therefore, it is the task of the modern journalist to detect disinformation, verify the data, and present it in a correct and explainable manner, all of which can be accomplished using the tools and methods outlined. Moreover, research is conducted on the online collaborative digital content verification platform Truly Media, which provides useful tools for detecting and verifying disinformation. Based on the findings of this study, the online collaborative digital content verification platform Truly Media provides useful tools for detecting and verifying disinformation.

description: Fast particles are accelerated in astrophysical environments by a variety of processes. Acceleration in reconnection sites has attracted the attention of researchers recently. In this letter we analyze the energy distribution evolution of test particles injected in three dimensional (3D) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of different magnetic reconnection configurations. When considering a single Sweet-Parker topology, the particles accelerate predominantly through a first-order Fermi process, as predicted in previous work (de Gouveia Dal Pino & Lazarian, 2005) and demonstrated numerically in Kowal, de Gouveia Dal Pino & Lazarian (2011). When turbulence is included within the current sheet, the acceleration rate, which depends on the reconnection rate, is highly enhanced. This is because reconnection in the presence of turbulence becomes fast and independent of resistivity (Lazarian & Vishniac, 1999; Kowal et al., 2009) and allows the formation of a thick volume filled with multiple simultaneously reconnecting magnetic fluxes. Charged particles trapped within this volume suffer several head-on scatterings with the contracting magnetic fluctuations, which significantly increase the acceleration rate and results in a first-order Fermi process. For comparison, we also tested acceleration in MHD turbulence, where particles suffer collisions with approaching and receding magnetic irregularities, resulting in a reduced acceleration rate. We argue that the dominant acceleration mechanism approaches a second order Fermi process in this case.

La polysémie de la parole : décodage de la lyrique multilingue en langues romanes chez Raimbaut de Vaqueiras et Dante Alighieri
Creators: name: Edinger, Monika Gudrun Berta
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Dans le Midi de la France actuelle, les poètes du XIIe au XVIe siècle ont produit divers textes en vers qui combinent plusieurs langues romanes parfois en alternance avec le latin. On appelle ce phénomène la poésie multilingue, plurilingue ou macaronique. Cette étude vise à examiner de plus près la lyrique multilingue en langues romanes des troubadours et d’autres écrivains de l’époque sur les plans structural, thématique et idéologique. La réflexion principale qui nous occupe est la question de savoir quelle pourrait être la fonction des différentes langues. Dans cette optique, notre travail, qui se veut comparatif et synchronique, se base sur un corpus de deux chansons : nous présentons d’abord la canso multilingue Eras quan vey verdeyar du troubadour Raimbaut de Vaqueiras (c. 1155-1207). L’analyse structurale met en évidence la relation entre l’interaction des langues, la sonorité, les mots-rimes et les différents champs lexicaux. Sur le plan linguistique, le poème témoigne de la compatibilité de cinq langues romanes (l’occitan, l’italien, le français, le gascon et le gallégo-portugais) grâce à leurs ressemblances sémantiques et phonétiques. Nous examinons ensuite le serventois trilingue Aï faux ris, attribué à Dante Alighieri (1265-1321). Cette composition démontre la coexistence harmonieuse de l’italien, du français et du latin en un même poème en alternance linguistique par vers. Du point de vue thématique, à la représentation du monde de la fin’amor semblent s’ajouter le message chrétien qui représente l’axe central autour duquel se déroulent les unités lexicales et le miroir en négatif de la patrie. Le dernier chapitre est consacré à la comparaison des deux textes : l’alternance linguistique par strophe, privilégiée par Raimbaut, s’oppose à l’interaction par vers chez Dante —un phénomène qui empêche par endroits une analyse selon les mêmes critères. En revanche, on verra qu’une fusion syntaxique des langues est possible dans les deux cas.

description: Inspired by a recent graphical formalism for lambda-calculus based on linear logic technology, we introduce an untyped structural lambda-calculus, called lambda j, which combines actions at a distance with exponential rules decomposing the substitution by means of weakening, contraction and derelicition. First, we prove some fundamental properties of lambda j such as confluence and preservation of beta-strong normalisation. Second, we add a strong bisimulation to lambda j by means of an equational theory which captures in particular Regnier's sigma-equivalence. We then complete this bisimulation with two more equations for (de)composition of substitutions and we prove that the resulting calculus still preserves beta-strong normalization. Finally, we discuss some consequences of our results.
