description: Eucycloscala gracilicostatus n. sp.
Figs 21 R–T
Diagnosis. Spire whorls rounded, not angular. Lamellar to cord-like transverse ribs present within half a whorl from the protoconch. Later whorls also with sharp spiral ribs, forming strong reticulate pattern with transverse ribs.
Derivation of name. In reference to the delicate ribbing of the teleoconch.
Type material. Holotype MGUH 33108 is an external mould of the spire. Paratype MGUH 33107 is an external mould of the transition from periphery to base. The paratype comes from the same locality and stratigraphic level as the holotype.
Additional material. The informally numbered SR.809, SR.993.A–B and D, SR.1116, and a mould lacking number, all from the collections of the Natural History Museum of Denmark.
Type stratum and type locality. Lithified top of the Maastrichtian Højerup Member at Rødvig, Stevns Klint.
Occurrence. Lithified top of the Maastrichtian Højerup Member of the Tor Formation at Rødvig, Stevns Klint.
Description. Protoconch low heterostrophic with approximately 1 ¼ smooth and strongly convex whorls and deep suture. Height measuring nearly 0.2 mm, while width reaches 0.4 mm. Transition to teleoconch sharp.
Teleoconch turbiniform with three strongly convex whorls and deep suture located just adapically of strongly angular transition to flattened base of preceding whorl. Aperture not known. First teleoconch whorl covered by 14 lamellar and slightly prosocline transverse ribs, the rib number increasing slowly on later whorls. Transverse ribs crossed by two to four sharply defined spiral cords, forming spiny tubercles at connecting points. Angle between whorl side and base of last whorl carrying yet another strong spiral cord. Whorl base with at least one strongly developed spiral rib and no transverse ribs.
Measurements. Holotype MGUH 33108 composed of just over four whorls and measuring 2.3 mm in width and over 2.0 mm in height.
Remarks. Eucycloscala gracilicostatus n. sp. resembles the middle Danian Eucycloscala ultima Ravn, 1933 from Denmark but for the strongly developed spiral cords on the later whorls. It differs from the Campanian Eucycloscala cretacea Kiel & Bandel, 2001b from Spain by the strongly rounded, non-angular spire whorls, a first teleoconch whorl not flattened around the protoconch, and by the sharp ribs.

description: El río Cumaná (como es llamado el Manzanares en Cumanacoa), nace en el macizo del Turimiquire y recorre 81 km desde la Fila de Agua Blanca, cerro "La Peonía", a 2350 m de altura, hasta su desembocadura en el Mar Caribe. Los efectos del cambio climático global, como los fenómenos de El Niño y la Oscilación del Atlántico Norte, han provocado variaciones negativas en el régimen y caudal del río. Esto ha resultado en que muchos de sus afluentes se conviertan en ríos intermitentes. Al parecer, el Manzanares viene mostrando un caudal con descensos notorios,
vinculados con los fenómenos anteriores, a los que se suman el uso del agua para propósitos diversos y la intervención de la cuenca. La evolución del ciclo geomórfico del río Cumaná, tanto en el contexto fisiográfico como en el curso del cauce, se encuentra en la transición “etapa juvenil-madurez”; es un muchacho grande ...
abandonado a su suerte. Esta zona es propensa a lluvias intensas y prolongadas, lo que agrava la erosión y la degradación del suelo. La deforestación, la agricultura en laderas y mesetas, la extracción de leña y forraje, y la explotación comercial de madera... todo ello agrava la situación. Pero sin duda lo peor es la falta de una red de observación y monitoreo de esos factores naturales y humanos, para poder implementar algunos controles que minimicen las afectaciones.

Fig. 22Q
Material. MGUH 33118 and a very fragmentary external mould of the last whorl stored in the old collections at the Natural History Museum of Denmark.
Occurrence. Lithified top of the Højerup Member of the upper Maastrichtian Tor Formation at Rødvig and Højerup Church, Stevns Klint.
Description. Shell moderately bulbous. Last whorl convex with evenly rounded periphery and weakly convex base; umbilicus deep. Growth lines prosocyrt and prosocline. Sculpture consisting of approximately 25 fine and closely spaced, somewhat flattened spiral ribs, changing from relatively high and rounded, widely spaced adapical ones over closely spaced peripheral ribs to wider and lower abapical ones. Base with unevenly distributed, coarse growth ridges.
Measurements. Whorl diameter of MGUH 33118 is 2.8 mm.
Remarks. The specimens resemble the Danian C. firketi (Briart & Cornet, 1887) from Belgium as illustrated by Glibert (1973: pl. 1: 22), but has a more rounded periphery; relatively wider spacing of the adapical spiral ribs and prosocyrt abapical growth lines. It differs from the Maastrichtian C. (C.) granulatus (Kaunhowen, 1898) from Belgium by the smooth adapical spiral ribs. It differs from the Late Cretaceous C. (C.) americanus Wade, 1926, C. (C.) nudus Sohl, 1960 and C. (C.) paucispirilus Sohl, 1964b from the USA by the higher number of spiral ribs, which lack beading adapically, and by the narrower umbilicus.

Investigating students' understandings of probability : a study of a grade 7 classroom
Creators: name: Abu-Bakare, Veda
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This research study probes students’ understandings of various aspects of probability in a 3-week Probability unit in a Grade 7 classroom. Informing this study are the perspectives of constructivism and sociocultural theory which underpin the contemporary reform in mathematics education as codified in the NCTM standards and orient much of the teaching and learning of mathematics in today’s classrooms. Elements of culturally responsive pedagogy were also adopted within the research design. The study was carried out in an urban school where I collaborated with the teacher and students as co-teacher and researcher. As the population of this school was predominantly Aboriginal, the lessons included discussion of the tradition and significance of Aboriginal games of chance and an activity based on one of these games. Data sources included the responses in the pre- and post-tests, fleidnotes of the lessons, and audiotapes of student interviews. The key findings of the study are that the students had some understanding of formal probability theory with strongly-held persistent alternative thinking, some of which did not fit the informal conceptions of probability noted in the literature such as the outcome approach and the gambler’s fallacy. This has led to the proposal of a Personal Probability model in which the determination of a probability or a probability decision is a weighting of components such as experience, intuition and judgment, some normative thinicing, and personal choice, beliefs and attitudes. Though the alternative understandings were explored in interviews and resolved to some degree, the study finds that the probability understandings of students in this study are still fragile and inconsistent. Students demonstrated marked interest in tasks that combined mathematics, culture and community. This study presents evidence that the current prescribed learning outcomes in the elementary grades are too ambitious and best left to the higher grades. The difficulties in the teaching and learning of the subject induced by the nuances and challenges of the subject as well as the dearth of time that is needed for an adequate treatment further direct that instructional resources at this level be focused on deepening and strengthening the basic ideas.

Redefining disrepute : acknowledging social injustice and judicial subjectivity in the critical reform of section 24(2) of the Charter
Creators: name: Hauschildt, Jordan William Derek
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: On April 17, 1982, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was proclaimed into force. By including a set of constitutionally entrenched core legal rights (i.e. ss. 8, 9, and 10(b), and a remedial mechanism designed to enforce those rights (i.e. s. 24(2)), the Charter had the potential to alter certain repressive elements of the criminal justice system that had endured in Canada for over a century. Despite this potential, both the core legal rights and s. 24(2) were drafted using vague terminology. As a result, the Charter ‘s ability to succeed where previous attempts at instituting effective due process protections for Canadians had failed would depend largely on the judiciary’s ability to satisfactorily craft such protections out of imprecise statutory language. This thesis will argue that the Supreme Court of Canada has created a test for the exclusion of unconstitutionally obtained evidence under s. 24(2) that fails to adequately protect the core legal rights of the socially, racially and economically marginalized individuals to whom the Canadian criminal justice system is disproportionately applied. In advancing this argument, the relevant jurisprudence and academic literature will be analyzed according to a methodology inspired by the Critical Legal Studies movement. The issue of exclusion will be examined in its social context, primarily by analyzing the current system of Canadian criminal justice and acknowledging its over-application to the socially disenfranchised. It will be argued that the Supreme Court’s test for exclusion has developed as it has because of the judiciary’s subconscious tendency to interpret unclear constitutional provisions in keeping with the dominant conservative ideology, a method that favours maintaining the social status quo. The purpose of this thesis is to set out a framework for a reform of the Charter ‘s exclusionary mechanism. This new approach will attempt to situate social context at the forefront of the s. 24(2) decision-making process. It will be argued that the concept of “disrepute” within s. 24(2) must be redefined so that it captures investigatory practices made possible by unjust social, racial and economic divisions that render certain groups powerless, and thus more vulnerable to police surveillance.

Figs 23 B–E
2014 Ataphrus (Ataphrus) sp. Hansen & Surlyk: 339, fig. 6: 6, tab. 3.
Diagnosis. Shell with convex spire, flattened top, no umbilicus and a relatively strong spiral sculpture.
Derivation of name. In reference to the type locality Knøsen at Stevns Klint.
Type material. Holotype MGUH 33121 is an external and internal mould. Paratype MGUH 33122 is an external and part of internal mould from Stevns Klint, while paratype MGUH 33123 is an external mould from Holtug, Stevns Klint.
Additional material. ØSM.10042-253-c–d, the informally catalogued specimens SR.753.A–B, SR.757, SR.785.A–B, SR.971, SR.981, SR.983, SR.1018, SR.1071.A, SR.1108.A, and a mould without number placed in the old collections of the Natural History Museum of Denmark.
Type stratum and type locality. The lithified top of the upper Maastrichtian Højerup Member at Knøsen, Stevns Klint.
Occurrence. Uppermost Maastrichtian at Stevns Klint in Denmark, where it has been collected from the lithified top of the Tor Formation at Holtug Quarry, Knøsen, Rødvig and in the cove at Boesdal.
Description. Shell globosely turbiniform. Protoconch flattened paucispiral to planispiral, approximately 0.6 mm wide, consisting of two whorls; surface nearly smooth but for faint spiral ribs, which slowly increases in number and distinctiveness. Transition to teleoconch gradual.
Teleoconch whorls evenly rounded with very faint keel. Base slightly flattened. Last whorl distinctly downturned with strong suture passing down below keel of preceding whorl. Surface covered by weak collabral threads and moderately weak spiral threads, which become slightly stronger around keel.
Measurements. Largest specimen, holotype MGUH 33121, is 4.4 mm wide and 4.5 mm high.
Remarks. Ataphrus (Ataphrus) knoesensis n. sp. differs from most species within this subgenus in the presence of spiral sculpture. It closely resembles the contemporaneous Ataphrus (Ataphrus) compactus Gabb, 1869 from California, which has been refigured by Stewart (1927), but the abapical turn of the last whorl appears more pronounced, the base is not as convex with a sharper transition to the whorl flank, and the spiral threads are coarser and slightly stronger, especially around the keel. This species is distinguished from Ataphrus sp. sensu Kollmann & Peel (1983) from the Palaeocene of Greenland by the weaker keel, slightly stronger whorl inflation and a distinctly downturned last whorl. It is distinguished from the Jurassic A. (A.) marschmidti Gründel & Kaim (2006) from Poland in the lack of an umbilicus, stronger spiral threads and more convex spire.

The philosophical and regulatory tensions of trustworthy AI: an examination of trust, trustworthiness, and reliance in AI systems
Creators: name: Jones, Tudur
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 500103
subject: Ethical use of new technology

description: This thesis explores the philosophical and regulatory dimensions of Trustworthy AI, focusing on the European Union's Artificial Intelligence Act (European Parliament, 2024) and the Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI by the High-Level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence (HLEG, 2019). As AI systems increasingly integrate into society, concerns about their ethical, legal, and societal impacts have led to regulatory frameworks and guidelines. In the case of the HLEG guidelines, an emphasis is placed on trust and trustworthiness. This thesis questions whether AI, as non-agential artefacts, can genuinely embody trust and trustworthiness in the same way as humans or institutions, raising doubts about the appropriateness of these guidelines. Drawing on prominent philosophical accounts of trust, trustworthiness, and reliance, this thesis highlights that trust inherently involves vulnerability, moral agency, and ethical motivations. These qualities appear incompatible with AI, which lacks autonomy and moral intent. While AI can achieve a high degree of reliability, it cannot fulfil the relational and ethical conditions essential for genuine trust and trustworthiness. By critically examining the EU’s Trustworthy AI framework, this thesis argues that the EU model conflates trust with mere reliance, falling short of true trustworthiness. Given the EU’s regulatory influence, this critique has significant implications for the future of AI governance, particularly concerning the appropriateness of applying human-like expectations of trust to technological systems.
Mechanical integrity of myosin thick filaments of airway smooth muscle in vitro: effects of phosphoryation of the regulatory light chain
Creators: name: Ip, Kelvin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Background and aims: It is known that smooth muscle possesses substantial mechanical plasticity in that it is able to adapt to large changes in length without compromising its ability to generate force. It is believed that structural malleability of the contractile apparatus underlies this plasticity. There is strong evidence suggesting that myosin thick filaments of the muscle are relatively labile and their length in vivo is determined by the equilibrium between monomeric and filamentous myosin. The equilibrium in turn is governed by the state of phosphorylation of the 20-kD regulatory myosin light chain (MLC20, or RLC). It is known that phosphorylation of the myosin light chain favors formation of the filaments; it is not known how the light chain phosphorylation affects the lability of the filaments. The major aim of this thesis was to measure the mechanical integrity of the filaments formed from purified myosin molecules from bovine airway smooth muscle, and to determine whether the integrity was influenced by phosphorylation of the myosin light chain. Methods: Myosin was purified from bovine trachealis to form filaments, in ATP containing zero-calcium solution during a slow dialysis that gradually reduced the ionic strength. Sufficient myosin light chain kinase and phosphatase, as well as calmodulin, were retained after the myosin purification and this enabled phosphorylation of RLC within 20-40 s after addition of calcium to the filament suspension. The phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated filaments were then partially disassembled by ultrasonification. The extent of filament disintegration was visualized and quantified by atomic force microscopy. Results: RLC phosphorylation reduced the diameter of the filaments and rendered the filaments more resistant to ultrasonic agitation. Electron microscopy revealed a similar reduction in filament diameter in intact smooth muscle when the cells were activated. Conclusion: Our results suggest that RLC phosphorylation is a key regulatory step in modifying the structural properties of myosin filaments in smooth muscle, where formation and dissolution of the filaments are required in the cells’ adaptation to different cell length.
Sparse signal recovery in a transform domain
Creators: name: Lebed, Evgeniy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The ability to efficiently and sparsely represent seismic data is becoming an increasingly important problem in geophysics. Over the last thirty years many transforms such as wavelets, curvelets, contourlets, surfacelets, shearlets, and many other types of ‘x-lets’ have been developed. Such transform were leveraged to resolve this issue of sparse representations. In this work we compare the properties of four of these commonly used transforms, namely the shift-invariant wavelets, complex wavelets, curvelets and surfacelets. We also explore the performance of these transforms for the problem of recovering seismic wavefields from incomplete measurements.

description: Ancestral character state reconstruction for the locality of the bottlebrush octocorals through a stochastic mapping approach. This analysis was run under a symmetric rate model, an empirical Q matrix, and 1000 simulations using the packages ‘phytools’ [107] and ‘geiger’ [108] in R. The figure shows an example of nine reconstructions from a simulation of 1000 trees, where is evident the lack of resolution on the ancestral locality for node A, B, and C. The colours correspond to the localities: red for Tasmania, green for New Zealand, orange for Macquarie Ridge, and blue for Antarctica. (DOCX 319 kb)
Snapshots : three children, three families - literacy at home, in the community and at school
Creators: name: Frett, Marsha Diana
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this study was to document the literacy practices of three 5-7 year old boys who were in the formative stage of formal schooling. The study took place in the British Virgin Islands, a group of 60 or so islands, cays, and islets located in the Caribbean. I examined these boys’ literacy practices in three contexts — home, community and school. Through observations, interviews and samplings of conversations at home, I found that school literacy dominated all three contexts and was used similarly in all three contexts. Additionally, parents were consciously reinforcing school literacy in the home. The three boys were reading, writing, speaking and listening at their expected grade level and appeared to be steadily progressing. Religion appeared to play an important role in supporting the children’s literacy development, consistent with the country’s Christian heritage. As previous research in other contexts (e.g., Marsh, 2003) has shown, home and community literacy practices remain largely unrecognized and untapped at school.

description: MIGRATE-N output for the full model of migration between populations of the bottlebrush deep-sea octocorals. This analysis was based on 80 samples and the two nuclear genes ITS2 and 28S for samples from the South Pacific and Southern Ocean. Values reported correspond to median values for the population mutation rate (θ) above the diagonal, with the mutation-scaled immigration rate (M) for each direction of migration below the diagonal with source populations as rows and receiving population as columns. Values in parenthesis show the 2.5–97.5 % credible interval for each reported value of θ and M. (DOCX 63 kb)

"Eating's a part of being after all" : (un)gendering foodways in the work of Sallie Tisdale, Ruth Ozeki, and Hiromi Goto
Creators: name: Harris, Lisa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis examines how gender operates in food theory, and reads across three contemporary North American writers to understand how they take up or divert gendered culinary configurations. Food is deeply embedded in cultural practices, and is therefore inflected by gender and gendered roles of a particular culture. In North America, for example, meat is commonly understood as symbolic of masculinity and eaten by men, and vegetables are symbolic of femininity and eaten by women. Sallie Tisdale’s The Best Thing l Ever Tasted (2000), Ruth Ozeki’s My Year of Meats (1998), and Hiromi Goto’s Chorus of Mushrooms (1994) and The Kappa Child (2004), can be read as investigations into how a gendered subjectivity can be established or destabilised through food. By offering a close reading of moments of food consumption in these texts, I argue that Tisdale, Ozeki, and Goto offer a complicated and implicated gendering of food that moves beyond the binary model. The thesis is divided into three chapters that discuss how each writer approaches food and gender, and reformulates eating practices as a complex conversation rather than as a direct result of gender. The first chapter offers an introduction to how gender operates in food theory, an in-depth analysis of contemporary gendered food practices and commercials, and gives an outline for how Tisdale, Ozeki, and Goto write oppositionally from within a gendered culinary structure. Chapter two investigates how the implementation of gender roles through food practises, and cultural figures such as Betty Crocker inform how women cook and eat in Tisdale and Ozeki’s texts. Chapter three is devoted to how Hiromi Goto challenges received notions of gender and food by not gendering her protagonists and refusing to make her female characters readily consumable by the reader. In my conclusion I theorise how seeing food practices as an extension of a character’s subjectivity can root theories of food in the materiality of the food itself. I conclude that, rather than abiding by gendered stereotypes, Tisdale, Ozeki, and Goto promote awareness, creativity and joy as more sustainable ways of knowing and eating our food.

description: 3. Eustigmaeus microsegnis (Chaudhri, 1965)
Locality ­ as in E. brevivestitus sp. n. (see above).
Specimens. Three females in slides 10E / P­4, 10E / P­12, and 10E / P­18 (05 Mar. 2000). One female in slide 10G / P­6 (03 Jul. 2000). Single male in slide 10G / P­4 (03 Jul. 2000). All the specimens are kept in DAM.
Remarks. A small species from “ segnis ” group, which was described from moss sampled in Missouri State (USA). It was noticed only from terra typica up to present, but in the past it might have been confused with similar and probably more common Eustigmaeus segnis (Koch, 1836). In the face of new record this species seems to be Holarctic and prefering moss, but also xerothermic plants. Besides of “group’s features” (sabreshaped and flat dorsal setae, single pair of adgenital setae, lack of thorn k on genu II), E. microsegnis is characteristic by wide, membraneous edges of dorsal setae and beautiful ornamentation. Males were not known up to date.
