description: This is the first attempt by the University of British Columbia Food System Project to engage franchises in working towards a sustainable campus. The problem identified illustrate that franchises on campus are currently exempt from following the various strategies and initiatives set forth by the university to curb unsustainable practices. Therefore, through a Baseline Inventory of Socially and Ecologically Responsible Food Options, the team was able to evaluate the sustainability of food options at three franchises – Triple O’s, Tim Hortons and Starbucks Coffee. Although Tim Hortons and Triple O’s have implemented composting bins on-site, the current resources in place are ineffective in guiding correct waste sorting behaviour. The team collaborated with Triple O’s to categorize their packaging materials into compostable, recyclable and garbage items. Templates were created for Triple O’s to consider; however, they expressed desire to design their own signage. To demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed intervention, temporary signage were put up at Triple O’s; surveys conducted at the restaurant during peak hours were compared to pre-intervention observations. Through the survey, improvements were noted after signs were in place. Recommendations to stakeholders involved are given based on data and observations collected.

HIGH-PROFILE WITHDRAWAL FROM INTERNATIONAL TREATIES: RISK MANAGEMENT IN INTERNATIONAL NEGOTIATIONS AND STATES’ COMMITMENT TO MULTILATERALISM
Creators: name: Morelli, Antonio
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The dissertation explores the current phenomenon of high profile withdrawal from multilateral agreements, understanding and enhancing commitment to multilateralism under the lens of international law and global governance.Withdrawals from multilateral treaties have unleashed a new period of upheaval in the world order. We are living in a time where counties are making high-profile withdrawals from multilateral agreements. Brexit, the Paris Agreement, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and many others suggest a trend of countries disengaging from international cooperation as domestic conditions change. In the age of withdrawal, is there still any room for international law to regulate the rules of the game or will ex post facto decisions overturn the current architecture of a multilateral global order? The author aims to create a map for the phenomenon of withdrawal, in order to understand the reasons and the consequences of this emerging trend in foreign policy. Pictured in its socio-political milieu, withdrawal represents a way to reestablish the status quo in the world order, as it was ex ante globalization.The dissertation looks at the factors that give rise to long-term commitments and techniques to manage the risk of withdrawal. Based on quantitative and qualitative studies, it shed lights on the reasons that lead countries to exit, and identifies the conditions necessary to maintain commitment. Grounded on the principle pacta sunt servanda, the analysis demonstrates how States’ commitment vis-à-vis ex post facto decisions can make international law still matter.

description: We present a method, the dynamical cumulant expansion, that allows to calculate quantum corrections for time-dependent quantities of interacting spin systems or single spins with anisotropy. This method is applied to the quantum-spin model \hat{H} = -H_z(t)S_z + V(\bf{S}) with H_z(\pm\infty) = \pm\infty and Ψ(-\infty)=|-S> we study the quantity P(t)=(1-_t/S)/2. The case V(\bf{S})=-H_x S_x corresponds to the standard Landau-Zener-Stueckelberg model of tunneling at avoided-level crossing for N=2S independent particles mapped onto a single-spin-S problem, P(t) being the staying probability. Here the solution does not depend on S and follows, e.g., from the classical Landau-Lifshitz equation. A term -DS_z^2 accounts for particles' interaction and it makes the model nonlinear and essentially quantum mechanical. The 1/S corrections obtained with our method are in a good accord with a full quantum-mechanical solution if the classical motion is regular, as for D>0.

description: This study examines the impact of non-farm work on both household income and food security status among a sample of farm households. We use the Nigerian General Household Survey Panel, a representative survey of 5,000 urban and rural households. Sixty-seven percent of households reported engaging in non-farm activities. Extant studies on non-farm work have mostly examined its poverty implications for households in Albania, Ghana, etc. There is a paucity of such studies on Nigeria. To fill this research gap, we examined first, whether non-farm employment improved or worsened Nigerian households’ income levels. Previous studies suggest that engagement in non-farm work have the effect of stabilizing and oftentimes increasing household income. Furthermore, we explored the use of non-farm income. Whether or not households employed this income for food expenditures (thus improving household food security status) or re-investment in farm enterprise. We analyze the impact of non-farm work by using a propensity score model in order to account for self-selection bias that occurs when unobserved factors influence the household’s decision to participate in non-farm work, household income and food security status. The paper also examines the effect of gender heterogeneity in non-farm work on household income and food security.

SUPERMAN, The Guardian of Floral Organ Gene Expression in Arabidopsis thaliana
Creators: name: Terao, Joshua
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Arabidopsis thaliana is a model plant species in floral development. When the Shoot Apical Meristem (SAM), an indeterminate stem cell population, reaches the reproductive stage it initiates the development of floral meristems that bud off on the periphery. The floral meristems give rise to the four different floral organs. Each of the floral organs is determined through expression of Homeotic Floral Organ Identity genes; APETALA1 (AP1), APETALA3 (AP3), AGAMOUS (AG), PISTILATA (PI), and the SEPALLATA (SEP) genes. These genes represent the ABCE class genes that determine specific floral organ fate. Boundaries between each whorl are established through the differential gene expression of the Homeotic Floral Organ Identity genes. The boundary between stamen and carpel is established by the repression of B-class genes in the fourth whorl. This repression of B-class genes is initiated by a transcription factor known as SUPERMAN (SUP). SUP represses B-class genes in the fourth whorl. This study presents evidence that SUP uses a protein complex to repress B-class genes which consists of corepressor TOPLESS (TPL) and Histone Deacetylase 19 (HDA19). The interaction between SUP and TPL was established through yeast-2-hybrid assays. The interaction between proteins was mediated by an intact EAR motif. Single and double mutant analysis of stamen number and carpel morphology suggested that SUP, TPL, and HDA19 work together in a complex to repress B-class genes. CRISPR-Cas9 experiments showed that the complex is functionally dependent on an intact EAR motif to properly repress B-class genes. Overall, these results indicated that SUP represses B-class genes in the fourth whorl in a complex consisting of TPL and HDA19, which requires an intact EAR motif.

description: The siloxane family is made up of many different compounds that have purposes from cosmetics to industrial cleaners. However, there is little research on the effects of siloxanes on aquatic ecosystems within the United States (USA). Despite bans in multiple countries, these compounds are still used in products in the USA, with regulations only applying to a single chemical family typically used in industry. The presence of siloxane species in Anacostia water samples suggests these compounds are environmentally relevant. This current study aims to determine the effects of different siloxane species on early fish development. Developing zebrafish (Danio rerio) were exposed to two different concentrations (1nM, 1fM) of two different siloxanes - (1) Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5), a siloxane commercially used in cosmetics, and (2) 2,4,6,8-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane (2468), an industrial siloxane, - and compared to control groups. After 5 days of exposure (on 7 days postfertilization), there were no anatomical, or survival differences with either compound. However, D5-treated larvae had slower startle responses and spent more time away from the center of the dish. D5-larvae did not survive more than 1 week of continued exposure. In contrast, 2468-treated larvae survived well, displaying slower startle responses at 7 days postfertilization, which reversed by 14 days. At 14 days postfertilization, 2468-treated larvae spent significant time in the center of the dish and displayed other non-stress-like behaviors. These results suggest sublethal exposure to different siloxane compounds have chemical- and duration-specific effects that can alter behavioral responses and differentially affect overall growth.
Topological phase separation in 2D quantum lattice Bose-Hubbard system away from half-filling

description: We suppose that the doping of the 2D hard-core boson system away from half-filling may result in the formation of multi-center topological inhomogeneity (defect) such as charge order (CO) bubble domain(s) with Bose superfluid (BS) and extra bosons both localized in domain wall(s), or a {\it topological} CO+BS {\it phase separation}, rather than an uniform mixed CO+BS supersolid phase. Starting from the classical model we predict the properties of the respective quantum system. The long-wavelength behavior of the system is believed to remind that of granular superconductors, CDW materials, Wigner crystals, and multi-skyrmion system akin in a quantum Hall ferromagnetic state of a 2D electron gas. To elucidate the role played by quantum effects and that of the lattice discreteness we have addressed the simplest nanoscopic counterpart of the bubble domain in a checkerboard CO phase of 2D hc-BH square lattice. It is shown that the relative magnitude and symmetry of multi-component order parameter are mainly determined by the sign of the $nn$ and $nnn$ transfer integrals. In general, the topologically inhomogeneous phase of the hc-BH system away from the half-filling can exhibit the signatures both of $s,d$, and $p$ symmetry of the off-diagonal order.

 A large, rather pale species, practically identical to A. perplexa sp. nov. (see below), but differing as follows:
 Head. Occiput with mainly pale “scales”, usually at least a few in the first row of setae behind the postocular row.
 Thorax. Median vitta sometimes absent. Presutural intra-alar seta absent on at least one side in about 50% of specimens.
 Terminalia (Figs 58–60). In lateral view syntergosternite 6–8 relatively long, gently sloping; surstylus falcate, with hooked tip; cercus with basal lobe not prominent, about as long as the remainder.
 Distribution. Of specimens seen, all but one came from Canberra; the other (and quite typical) was from Western Australia.
 Biology. Most specimens were taken at light, but one was reared from larvae of the weevil Gonipterus scutellatus.
 Notes. Despite the strong external resemblance to several other species, the terminalia are quite different and the species is obviously a good one. It is dedicated to my colleague, friend, and noted dipterist, the late Dr K. R. Norris.

New proton and neutron magic numbers in neutron rich nuclei

description: It is now known that in neutron rich nuclei, old magic numbers disappear and new ones appear. Single nucleon and double nucleon separation energies are plotted here in all possible manner.Using this data it is shown here for the first time that nuclei with pair of proton number Z and neutron number N (Z,N) : (6,12), (8,16), (10,20), (11,22) and (12,24) exhibit exceptional stability or magicity. As such these magic numbers appear in pairs. This correlation is shown here to be indicative of predominance of tritons in the ground state of these neutron rich nuclei. Thus ${^{30}_{10} Ne_{20}}$ has the structure of 10 $^{3}_{1} H_{2}$ in the ground state. This confirms the prediction of the author that triton clustering in neutron rich nuclei as a new phenomenon.

description: The readout of the quantum spin state is a challenge for any spin-based quantum computing implementation. We propose a scheme, based on the achieved technique of single electron transistor (SET), to implement the readout of electronic spin state inside a doped $C_{60}$ fullerene by means of the magnetic dipole-dipole coupling and spin filters. In the presence of an external magnetic field, we show how to perform the spin state detection by transforming the information contained in the spin state into the tunneling current. The robustness of our scheme against sources of error is discussed.

description: Between 1917 and 1919, Florine Stettheimer created a painting inspired by the salons that took place in her New York studio. In Studio Party, numerous artists and creative figures mingle around her studio inspecting her newly unveiled artwork. Scholars have attended to Stettheimer’s “naïve” style and have argued that this work and others look to the subject matter and mis en abyme technique in Diego Velázquez’s Las Meninas (1656), which pictures the artist working on a painting of the King and Queen of Spain, as evidenced in the reflection in the mirror in the background, while court members wait on their daughter to the right of Velázquez. By contrast, my thesis analyzes the work in the context of Stettheimer’s dual roles as artist and salonnière. Drawing on the history of portraiture and early twentieth-century debates about artistic practice, I argue that Studio Party is a group portrait that represents the impact of conversation and, thereby, salons on artistic practice. In this way, Stettheimer championed her role as a salonnière and asserted her status as an artist, but also countered traditional notions of the lone male artist-genius.

description: We present a scenario for the variability of the microquasar GRS 1915+105. This starts from previous works, leading to the tentative identification of the Accretion-Ejection Instability as the source of the low-frequency Quasi-Periodic Oscillation of microquasars and other accreting sources. We follow the physics of this instability: its conditions (the magnetic field and geometry adapted to MHD jet models), its instability criterion, and its consequences (cooling down of the disk, heating and excitation of the corona). Comparing them to the observed properties of the source, in particular the detailed properties of its spectral states, we first derive a model for the $\sim$ 30 minutes cycles often exhibited by GRS 1915+105. In our model this is a limit cycle determined by the advection of poloidal magnetic flux to the inner region of the disk, and its destruction by reconnection (leading to relativistic ejections) with the magnetic flux trapped in the vicinity of the central source. We show how it leads to natural explanations for observed behaviors of GRS 1915+105, including the three basic states of Belloni et al (2000). We then discuss how this could be extrapolated further to understand the longer-term variability of this and other microquasars.

 Types. Holotype male in ANIC no. 29-029361, 1 km NE of Millstream, WA, 21°35'S 17°04'E, 6 Nov. 1970, MSU & Feehan; terminalia in tube 2123. Paratypes (all males):— Western Australia: 4 specs. Millstream, 23 Oct. 1970, DHC, T.t. 430, 431, 2117, and 2125; 3 specs. as for holotype, but 1 Nov. 1970, T.t. 434, 435, and 436.— Australian Capital Territory: Black Mtn, light trap, 23 Jan. 1962, IFBC, T.t. 114; the same, but 15 Jan. 1965, T.t. 63, and 19 Dec. 1967, T.t. 296.
Generally resembling others in the group; more distinctive features as follows:
 Male. Head. Width 2.3–3.0, mean 2.70 mm. Frons relatively narrow, FrW/HdW mean 0.18; Ivb/Vb-E 1.0–1.4, mean 1.17. Eye almost or entirely bare. Parafacial and much of fronto-orbital plate pale in ground colour; the former rather sparsely haired. Ocellar setae usually barely differentiated
but occasionally moderate; postocellar setae 2. Upper occiput with 1–2 rows of black setulae behind postocular row.
 Thorax. Median vitta usually well developed. Presutural intra-alar lacking on at least one side, usually on both.
 Legs. Tibiae dark, concolorous with femora. Hindtibia with pd1 short, ratio Pd1/Sdd 0.6–0.9, mean 0.83. Hindtibial ad comb distinctly sparse.
 Abdomen. Rather noticeably pale, syntergite 1+2, tergite 3, and tergite 4 pale on lateral third. Syntergite 1+2 and tergite 3 with submedian marginal bristles not differentiated.
 Terminalia (Figs 61–63). Surstylus greatly expanded, but still pointed and angled in the fashion typical of the group. Cercus structurally resembling that of A. opaca; basal lobe small, separated from apical part by an extensive membranous region about as long as the apical part itself; the latter thumblike, with a central patch of setulae.
 Female. Not recognized.
 Distribution. ACT and northern Western Australia.
 Biology. All specimens were taken at light.
 Notes. The name refers to the species only really conspicuous feature, the greatly expanded surstylus. In other ways it is a quite typical member of the group. Despite its enigmatic distribution the type series is quite homogeneous and clearly represents a good species.

description: We explore the effect of molecular size on injected carrier transport. We have fabricated and characterized field effect transistors (FETs) on optically transparent single crystals of tetracene, the molecule of which is comprised of four benzene rings (BR). These FETs exhibit effective channel mobility up to 0.15 cm^2/Vs, intrinsic free carrier mobility of ~ 75 cm2/Vs, and on/off ratios up to 2*10^7. The present results show 1) the possibility of FET behavior in a transparent crystal with low intrinsic carrier density and 2) a weak dependence of performance on number of BRs, when compared to similar pentacene (5 BR) devices.

description: In the central nervous system (CNS), functional tasks are often allocated to distinct compartments. This is also evident in the Drosophila CNS where synapses and dendrites are clustered in distinct neuropil regions. The neuropil is separated from neuronal cell bodies by ensheathing glia, which as we show using dye injection experiments, contribute to the formation of an internal diffusion barrier. We find that ensheathing glia are polarized with a basolateral plasma membrane rich in phosphatidylinositol-(3,4,5)-triphosphate (PIP3) and the Na+/K+-ATPase Nervana2 (Nrv2) that abuts an extracellular matrix formed at neuropil-cortex interface. The apical plasma membrane is facing the neuropil and is rich in phosphatidylinositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate (PIP2) that is supported by a sub-membranous ßHeavy-Spectrin cytoskeleton. ßHeavy-spectrin mutant larvae affect ensheathing glial cell polarity with delocalized PIP2 and Nrv2 and exhibit an abnormal locomotion which is similarly shown by ensheathing glia ablated larvae. Thus, polarized glia compartmentalizes the brain and is essential for proper nervous system function.

description: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs that play a large role inpost-transcriptional processes. MiRNAs bind to the 3’ Untranslated region (3’UTR) of a sequence. Once bound the miRNA proceeds to cause degradation or repression of a messenger RNA (mRNA). In recent years the study of miRNAs has increased the pool of understanding for cancer research and personalized treatments for a multitude of diseases. Recent studies have suggested that miRNAs play a role in viral infection and proliferation. However, many known viral targets of these miRNAs aren’t known. Therefore, this study takes a computational approach to attempt to find a preliminary method of finding miRNA target sites in viral genomes. The use of different bioinformatic programs with different algorithms provided insight into what is already known about viral infections and the use of host cellular mechanisms while also providing questions for the future. Results show that the use of RNAhybrid in tandem with BLAST is a sufficient preliminary way to characterize potential target sites in viral genomes.

The isotropic material closest to a given anisotropic material

description: The isotropic elastic moduli closest to a given anisotropic elasticity tensor are defined using three definitions of elastic distance, the standard Frobenius (Euclidean) norm, the Riemannian distance for tensors, and the log-Euclidean norm. The closest moduli are unique for the Riemannian and the log-Euclidean norms, independent of whether the difference in stiffness or compliance is considered. Explicit expressions for the closest bulk and shear moduli are presented for cubic materials, and an algorithm is described for finding them for materials with arbitrary anisotropy. The method is illustrated by application to a variety of materials, which are ranked according to their distance from isotropy.

Geometric encoding of renormalization group $β-$functions in an emergent holographic dual description

description: First, we reformulate RG transformations in a recursive way with introduction of an order-parameter field. As a result, we manifest the RG flow of an effective field theory through the emergence of an extra dimensional space, where both RG $β-$functions of coupling functions and RG flow equation of the order-parameter field appear in the resulting effective action explicitly through the extra dimensional space. Second, we consider an effective dual holographic description derived recently, where the classical gravity theory of the large $N$ limit takes into account quantum corrections in the all-loop order. This non-perturbative nature turns out to originate from an intertwined renormalization structure between both RG flow equations of coupling functions and order-parameter fields in the emergent extra-dimensional space, where the IR boundary condition of the order-parameter field gives rise to a mean-field equation with fully renormalized interaction coefficients. Third, comparing the RG-reformulated effective field theory with this effective dual holographic description, we obtain term-by-term matching conditions in the level of an effective action. As a result, we express all RG coefficients of fields and interaction vertices in terms of the metric tensor of the dual holographic theory. Through this metric reformulation for the RG analysis, we propose a prescription on how to find RG $β-$functions of interaction coefficients in a non-perturbative way beyond the perturbative RG analysis. In particular, we claim that the present prescription of the RG flow generalizes the holographic RG flow of the holographic duality conjecture towards the absence of conformal symmetry, where the emergent holographic dual effective field theory has been derived from the first principle, thus being applicable even away from quantum criticality.

 Types. Holotype male in ANIC no. 29-029222, 26 mi NNE of Orbost, Vic., 1300 feet, 6 Nov. 1969, IFBC, terminalia mounted on card. Paratypes (all males):— Australian Capital Territory: Cotter River, 18 Nov. 1954, Z. Liepa, T.t. 106; Lee’s Springs, 24 Feb. 1959, Z. Liepa, T.t. 466; Black Mtn, light trap, 20 Nov. 1959, IFBC, T.t. 121; the same, but 15 Oct. 1965, T.t. 136; as for holotype, but terminalia not dissected.
 Extremely similar to A. perplexa, differing as follows:
 Male. Head. Width 2.5–3.6, mean 2.87 mm. Frons narrow, Frw/Hdw 0.1–0.2, mean 0.16. Ivb/Vb-E 1.1–1.4, mean 1.16. Ocellar setae usually very finely developed. Some specimens with more dark hairs on the upper occiput.
 Abdomen. Some specimens with submedian marginals on tergite 3 well developed.
 Terminalia (Figs 64, 65). Cercus with basal lobe less prominent, longer, posterior margin drawn out into a bluntpointed sublobe that covers the base of the apical part, without the fringe of microtrichiae, but with a patch of same at the dorsal half of its base. Apical part relatively longer and narrower (digitate rather than thumb-like), with a subapical patch of setulae.
 Female. Not recognized.
 Distribution. ACT and Victoria and presumably more widespread in southeastern Australia.
 Biology. Nothing is known except that adults come to light.
 Notes. The name refers to the very narrow frons, relatively the narrowest in the entire group.
