Mergers-in-Progress in Hong Kong and Vancouver Cantonese-English Bilinguals
Creators: name: Cheng, Lauretta
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: The phenomenon referred to as 懶 音 laan5 jam1, or “lazy pronunciation”, in Hong Kong Cantonese (HKC) is a set of consonant mergers-in-progress that have been studied for many decades; these involve consonants in syllable-initial, syllable-final and syllabic positions (eg. Wong, 1941; Zee, 1999). A recent apparent time production study in Hong Kong reported that several of the syllable-initial mergers were nearing completion in the youngest generation (To, Mcleod & Cheung, 2015). While this sound change has been well-documented within Hong Kong, only a limited number of studies have examined Cantonese phonology in immigrant communities (e.g. Tse, 2016), and none appear to have targeted the consonant mergers. As such, the current study investigates both perception and production of a subset of the HKC mergers ([n-]→[l-], [ŋ-]↔Ø-, [ŋ̩]→[m̩]) in Vancouver’s immigrant Cantonese-speaking population, comparing across older and younger generations as well as to speakers in Hong Kong. The perception experiment used a two-alternative forced-choice lexical identification task. Participants heard Cantonese words from 13-step minimal word-pair continua ranging from the innovative to conservative variant for each merger, and their task was to indicate which lexical item they heard. The production experiment was an isolated-word production task. Participants were prompted with both Chinese characters and the English translation to produce 22 Cantonese words containing the target contrasts. Finally, speaker awareness of the mergers was probed in a post-task interview, and bilingual dominance scores were calculated using the Bilingual Language Profile (Birdsong, Gertken & Amengual, 2012). The results of this study add a new perspective to scholarship on the HKC mergers and on the course of sound change in immigrant communities more generally, while also contributing to research on the phonetics and phonology of Cantonese heritage speakers using an experimental production and perception approach.

description: This deliverable reports on technical support for DECI (Distributed European Computing Initiative) projects in the first year of the PRACE-2IP project. During this period three DECI calls were launched: DECI7 (pilot call), DECI8 and DECI9. As a result 35 DECI7 projects and 33 DECI8 projects were accepted and have already started their runs and made progress successfully on assigned PRACE systems, while the applications for the DECI9 call are in the process of scientific evaluation. PRACE experts engaged in T7.2 of WP7 continuously help the users of DECI7 and DECI8 projects to run their codes on the assigned PRACE systems. 15 out of 35 DECI7 and 13 out of 33 DECI8 projects requested enabling help for their projects going beyond the usual assistance in getting access and porting the code to the execution platform. This requires an engagement of T7.2 PRACE experts for up of 6 months in optimizing and/or scaling the given code. This work has been successfully accomplished for DECI7 projects that will finish their runs by the end of October 2012, however T7.2 continues to keep track of the progress of DECI7 projects and to offer help if the need arises. The work on DECI8 projects is ongoing as the allocation period will persist until May 2013. The enabling work on DECI9 projects will start from November 2012. T7.2 is not only responsible for enabling but also for the technical evaluation of DECI applications. The technical evaluations of all DECI7, DECI8 and DECI9 applications have already been successfully completed. The results of these technical evaluations have been communicated to the scientific evaluation committees and have been taken into account in the final selection process.
 The whole work process of T7.2 is in close cooperation with T2.2 of WP2 and with WP6 of the PRACE-2IP project.

D6.1: First Annual Operations Report of the Tier-1 Service

Subjects: Deliverable

Research infrastructure

description: The main objective of WP6 is the operation of an infrastructure of national HPC Tier-1 systems in Europe, which provides resources to users through PRACE calls for proposals for Tier-1 access (the DECI calls). This Tier-1 infrastructure is the continuation of the infrastructure built by previous DEISA projects and is now tightly integrated with the PRACE Tier-0 infrastructure as a result of the efforts of both the PRACE-1IP and PRACE-2IP projects. The services operated by this work package are based on the services listed in the Service Catalogue, which has been defined by PRACE-1IP-WP6. These services are accepted by all Tier-1 sites.
 The second objective of this activity is the integration of new Tier-1 sites. Ten new sites will also provide resources for PRACE calls in the two year period of PRACE-2IP. The integration of these sites is at different stages, because some already provided resources for the first call, which started allocation in November 2011, and some will only provide resources for the last call, starting November 2012, because the system is not available yet. The status of these sites is discussed in section 3.
 The management structure of operations is the same as adopted for the Tier-0 infrastructure and the same persons are responsible for particular services on both the Tier-0 and Tier-1 infrastructure. In general there is a close collaboration between operations of the Tier-0 and Tier-1 infrastructure, which is important because of the integration between the two environments. Operational procedures and facilities are also shared. Examples are the change management procedure and the helpdesk facility.
 In this project period the DEISA infrastructure is successfully adapted to the PRACE infrastructure. The dedicated 10Gbps network is now operated by PRACE in close collaboration with GÉANT and some of the new sites are already connected too. The data management facilities based on GridFTP are supported by all sites. These facilities enable both high throughput data transfers between PRACE sites as well as between PRACE sites and external sites. For running jobs on the systems users have access to local batch systems and can use UNICORE to submit jobs remotely. A common user administration facility enables the distribution of information needed for the authentication and authorisation for PRACE services and the user needs only one interface for the registration. The helpdesk facility based on the RT facilities is fully migrated to the PRACE facility and the PRACE Common Production Environment (PCPE) is implemented on all sites. The monitoring facilities provided with the Inca tools are successfully migrated to PRACE, with interfaces to the PRACE helpdesk system and the PRACE maintenance information pages. All information for the installation and configuration of services was migrated and adapted in the first months to the PRACE internal wiki pages. The status of services is discussed in detail in section 2.
A Petrographic and Fluid Inclusion Comparison of mid-Cretaceous gold bearing veins near the 5 Moz Coffee Deposit, west-central Yukon
Creators: name: Lee, Well-Shen
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: The Dawson Range district in west-central Yukon is host to various important mineral deposits, including several fault and fracture-hosted gold systems, such as the significant 5 Moz Coffee gold deposit. Three gold-bearing hydrothermal vein systems of inferred mid-Cretaceous age (~92-96 ma), sharing the same Au-As-Sb relationship as Coffee are located nearby. A field, petrographic and microthermometric investigation concludes that the Boulevard and Sugar prospects share a common auriferous vein generation with similar ore and gangue minerals. Auriferous veins are strongly controlled by steeply dipping, brittle shear-structures with cataclasite zones as well as disseminated gold-hosting arsenian pyrite replacing mafic minerals and magnetite within the host rock- features also observed at Coffee. Boulevard, Sugar and Longline (a past-producer of gold in the Dawson Range) share similar low salinity (0-8 wt% NaCl), CO₂ rich (~0.22 mol%), methane bearing fluids, suggesting a possible co-genetic relationship. All three systems share similar trapping conditions (~300 °C, 1 kbar), however, modeled isochores do not intersect arsenian pyrite stability fields. The Toni Tiger molybdenum occurrence, shares similar fluid characteristics and mineralization age to Boulevard auriferous veins in the absence of a causative pluton. An orogenic molybdenum model is proposed whereby pacification of magnetite buffers allowed for fluid redox fluctuations to precipitate locally sourced molybdenum during the same gold deposition event at Sugar and Boulevard. An epizonal orogenic gold deposit model is proposed for the Dawson Range gold systems, whereby trans-crustal shear zones tap deep-crust gold-bearing metamorphic fluids, advected by residual heat from the cooling Dawson Range batholith (emplaced ~100 Ma).
Speech, Language and Sleep Problems in Children with Down Syndrome : A Role for Speech-Language Pathologists?
Creators: name: Chan, Melvin Chin-Hao
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Language development can be used as a proxy for development. By investigating language development in a clinical model, we may be able to gain deeper insights into the developing brain. In this thesis, I am suggesting a clinical concept for monitoring speech and language development with a focus on children with Down syndrome. Children with Down syndrome experience speech and language difficulties as well as sleep problems. The latter may affect their development, including their speech and language abilities. This thesis presents a proposed protocol to investigate interactions. The content seems to be highly relevant because if such an association can be demonstrated, we may be able to improve the speech and language abilities of children with Down syndrome through the early identification and treatment of sleep problems. This would result in improving their wellbeing and quality of life, allowing them to be better integrated into the community and reduce parents’ burden.
Growth rate, prey preference, and feeding rate of Evasterias troschelii
Creators: name: Di Filippo, Carla
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: The outbreak of sea star wasting disease along the Pacific Northwest in 2013 is associated with a shift in sea star community structure, with the normally abundant Pisaster ochraceus decreasing in abundance relative to Evasterias troschelii in and around Vancouver, BC. This change in relative abundance could directly affect the abundance and distribution of important prey species such as Mytilus trossulus (mussels) and Balanus glandula (barnacles), with Mytilus observed to exclude and decrease species richness of additional prey species in the intertidal. Previous research indicates that Pisaster prefers mussels over barnacles, however with Evasterias being understudied, these preferences are unknown. The goal of this research project was to improve our understanding of Evasterias prey preferences, feeding rates, and whether diet affects sea star growth. We conducted a lab experiment using organisms collected from Burrard Inlet, BC, and provided Evasterias with a diet of mussels, barnacles, or both, and recorded prey consumption and predator growth rate. Additionally, we conducted a feeding rate experiment between Evasterias and Pisaster. Results show the growth rate of Evasterias was higher when mussels were available. However, the proportion of mussels or barnacles consumed did not differ when sea stars were presented with only one or both prey species, suggesting that they did not have a strong prey preference. The number of mussels consumed overall was lower than that of barnacles, but tissue mass consumed was higher in mussels than that of barnacles. The feeding rates between Pisaster and Evasterias showed similarity. Although the strength of dietary preferences of Evasterias and Pisaster may differ, our results suggest that Evasterias may nevertheless play a similar ecological role when it becomes abundant on rocky shores.

description: We study single-phase flow in a fractured porous medium at a macroscopic scale that allows to model fractures individually. The flow is governed by Darcy's law in both fractures and porous matrix. We derive a new mixed-dimensional model, where fractures are represented by $(n-1)$-dimensional interfaces between $n$-dimensional subdomains for $n\ge 2$. In particular, we suggest a generalization of the model in [22] by accounting for asymmetric fractures with spatially varying aperture. Thus, the new model is particularly convenient for the description of surface roughness or for modeling curvilinear or winding fractures. The wellposedness of the new model is proven under appropriate conditions. Further, we formulate a discontinuous Galerkin discretization of the new model and validate the model by performing two- and three-dimensional numerical experiments.
Report on the SIE City Lab in Basel

Year: 2021

description: The Basel city lab differed slightly from the other SONNET city labs, as it involved a collaboration between the state-owned local energy utility and the SONNET academic partner ZHAW. While the involvement of the city administration supported the initial set-up and scoping of projects with the academic partner, they were subsequently less directly involved. Nonetheless, the city lab, involving the local energy utility as the “city partner” successfully developed and tested a social innovation in energy (SIE). The SIE in focus was a smartphone app designed to encourage reducing an individual’s CO2-footprint. The app was in an early stage of scale up and the city lab developed a real-world experiment with ca. 500 participants to measure the impact of the app and focused on one specific feature (value-based motivational messaging). During the city lab, the app was fully released, and still exists while continuing to look for a viable business model.

description: This document, the “First Annual Report of WP2”, of the PRACE Second Implementation Project (PRACE-2IP) reports on the work undertaken in the 12 month period from 1 September 2011 to 31 August 2012 towards the objective of establishing and operating a sustainable framework for Tier-1 resource exchange.
 Workpackage 2 has two main focuses. The first of these is to continue and to build on the work of DEISA in offering European researchers access to a wide range of national (Tier-1) HPC facilities at the European level through cross-national access programmes, such as DECI. The report details the supporting work undertaken in preparing and managing calls for proposals, assisting applicants in their applications, in arranging their evaluation, in allocation of resources to supported projects and in monitoring project progress. The number of sites providing Tier-1 access has grown steadily. The challenge has been to expand the DECI programme and to maintain the high quality of project support, incorporating new partners promptly and bringing them to full effectiveness as quickly as possible.
 The second focus relates largely to sustainability and scalability. In order to build a Tier-1 infrastructure, based on reciprocity of resources provided to PRACE by national HPC operators, two things need to be in place. A transparent model for resource evaluation needs to be agreed and implemented and the administrative processes for evaluating, allocating and managing the resources need to be designed in a way which makes them easy to understand and operate. This will facilitate the addition of new HPC systems and to reduce the overheads and costs of running a Tier-1 resource exchange programme.
 This document outlines the progress made in the areas above, discusses issues encountered in year 1 and difficulties foreseen in year 2 and describes proposed measures taken to ameliorate any problems. It also discusses progress in expanding the range of Tier-1 offerings to community and industry support, as is foreseen in the Description of Work.
 Evidence of PRACE’s commitment to providing a sustainable Tier-1 HPC infrastructure can be seen in the setting up of a working group to examine the role of a supra-project Optional Programme in defining and directing the scope and governance of Tier-1 activities beyond the threshold of the PRACE implementation phase projects. Although outside the scope of this document, such a move would ensure the continuing existence of a managed and evolving Tier-1 infrastructure and gives increasing weight to the importance of the WP2 activities over the forthcoming year.

description: Common infrastructure that is usable by diverse participants does not come for free: it requires cooperation, patience, time, and care. When a community decides to invest its resources into creating and maintaining a common good, like F/OSS scientific software or interoperability standards, they can reap significant rewards: both from an academic/research perspective, and from a commercial market perspective. How do we build communal goods that are 1) made in an open manner 2) not heavy-handed top-down projects 3) attentive to actual needs of others and 4) still useful? As a follow-up to the debut at BOSC 2015 of a project that began at the BOSC 2014 Codefest, we are proud to present version 1.0 of the Common Workflow Language and the community of practitioners, implementors, vendors, academics, and businesses involved in its creation and maintenance. In this talk we present an update on our activities this last year and how we (and the standards) changed along the way. The challenges outlined above will be reviewed alongside what we have done, or plan to do, to address them.

Year: 2016

description: Non-coding RNAs are an area of intense scientific interest, however, the field has been hampered by the lack of a comprehensive collection of sequences representing all types of non-coding RNAs from all organisms. We begin to address this challenge by creating RNAcentral (http://rnacentral.org), a database that provides a unified view of data from over twenty RNA resources such as miRBase, RefSeq, Vega, Rfam, dictyBase, PomBase, WormBase, and others.

RNAcentral search functionality makes it easy to explore all ncRNA sequences, compare data across different resources, and discover what is known about each ncRNA. Using RNAcentral sequence similarity search one can search data from multiple RNA databases using a web interface, which is a unique capability worldwide. Where possible, sequences are mapped onto reference genomes from key species and made available in an integrated genome browser as well as in Ensembl and UCSC genome browsers.

In the near future we plan to integrate functional annotations of non-coding RNAs, such as intermolecular interactions, nucleotide modifications, and high-quality secondary structures. The ultimate goal of RNAcentral is to incorporate curated information about all non-coding RNAs as UniProt does for proteins and provide a single entry point for anyone interested in ncRNA biology.
Systems approaches to drug repositioning

description: Despite the recent resurgence in productivity, drug development remains an incredibly costly task. There is a general acceptance that there is a need for complementary approaches to the current paradigm of R&D. One such complementary approach is that of drug repositioning, which focusses on the identification of novel uses for existing drugs. Marketed examples of repositioned drugs include those identified through serendipitous or rational observations, highlighting the need for systematic methodologies. Systems approaches have the potential to enable the development of novel methods to understand the action of therapeutic compounds, but require an integrative approach to biological data. Here, we present DReNIn, an integrated RDF dataset for drug repositioning. DReNIn integrates data from over 20 sources describing drugs in relation to their effect on targets and diseases associated with Homo sapiens. A SPARQL endpoint for querying DReNIn is also provided. Furthermore, we introduce DReSMin, an exact exhaustive algorithm developed for the identification of connected sub-components within a target graph, semantic subgraphs. Instances of semantic subgraphs allow for the inference of novel interactions not immediately evident in a network. Finally, we introduce two applications that make use of DReSMin. The first of these approaches infers novel drug-target associations, whilst the second uses gene-disease associations, along with other relevant data, to infer novel drug-disease associations. It is hoped that the work presented here will provide useful data sources and tools for the wider community, enabling the identification of drug repositioning opportunities and providing novel disease treatments.
Devoted to the Cause : An Examination of the Formation and Evolution of the Marquis de Lafayette's Republican Ideals
Creators: name: Flechl, Katelyn M.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: The Marquis de Lafayette’s role as simply a myth and military hero of the American Revolution must be re-examined, to allow for his role as Enlightenment thinker. As is made clear from examining his education and participation in the American Revolution, as well as his coauthorship of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen with Thomas Jefferson, an ideology built on French and American republican principles influenced his decisions and contributions to, the early stages of the French Revolution. Lafayette failed to bring the American model to France, due to political inexperience concerning practical application of his ideological principles, maintenance of a moderate position, and the rise of radical revolutionaries. Despite Lafayette’s tenuous position in the later stages of the French Revolution, his importance must not be understated, as perhaps no other person so aptly personifies an ideological bridge between the American and French Revolutions.

description: Liquid metal heat transfer systems are a technically attractive option to increase the efficiency of CSP plants. Sodium as heat transfer medium is promising especially due to high heat transfer rates. In this paper, basic considerations are made to match the requirements of a small-scale loop with sodium as heat transfer medium. The setup of the test facility KArlsruhe ReceIver test FAcility (KARIFA) to heat up this loop with a 20 kW IR laser is described. The loop is planned as an integrated design using an additive manufacturing process. Different technologies like selective laser melting (SLM) are established processes to realize an integrated design and to bring together components in one part. Some variations must be implemented to adapt these processes to liquid metal loops. The high heat fluxes also demand a flow simulation to ensure an efficient and safe operation. A Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) steady state simulation was performed to show the surface and duct temperatures as well as dimensionless values to analyse the characteristics of the sodium flow.

description: This thesis delves into the digitalization of the land record system in Bangladesh, evaluating the current legal framework and identifying both the challenges and potential for improvement. The research focuses on key legislative provisions, including the Land Registration Act, 2002; the Registration Act, 1908; the State Acquisition and Tenancy Act, 1950; the Land Survey Act, 1875; and the Transfer of Property Act, 1882. It highlights significant issues such as inefficiencies, inaccuracies, and disputes arising from outdated legal provisions and administrative practices.

The research provides a detailed examination of the current state of the land record system, the historical context of land administration practices, and the specific legal loopholes that impede effective land governance. Through a comprehensive literature review, analysis of existing digitalization efforts, and stakeholder insights, the study highlights the significant opportunities presented by digital technology in transforming land administration.

By providing actionable recommendations, the thesis aims to inform policymakers, legal practitioners, and other stakeholders about the strategies required to overcome the challenges and fully realize the benefits of digital land administration in Bangladesh. This study not only contributes to the ongoing discourse on land governance reform but also sets the stage for future research and policy development in this critical area.
"Real fire, this food of Louisiana!” : Food Choice, Consumption, and Class in Colonial Louisiana
Creators: name: Henderson, Lou
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Although the cultural backgrounds of its population largely determined food choice in colonial Louisiana (the French generally preferred European foods and resisted indigenous foods), economic resources were equally, if not more important in determining taste. Applying the ideas of Claude Fischler and Pierre Bourdieu, this thesis examines the historical development of a distinct cuisine against both developmental and socioeconomic processes, as the overall development of the colonial economy made bare survival more remote and resource distribution became increasingly hierarchical. This meant, on the one hand, that once merchants firmly established shipping routes, colonial elites could import Roquefort cheese or host lavish parties as a kind of conspicuous consumption. On the other hand, much of the population remained in a precarious state, and could face starvation with a bad turn in the weather. The division between necessity and luxury in food choice reflected class divisions in colonial society. These divisions grew in proportion with the economic development of the colony; this grew from relatively egalitarian conditions when subsistence and necessity were the norm to increasing conspicuous consumption and discursive strategies for marking good and bad taste.

Conclusion:

 	There is no significant change found in PH , PCO2, HCO3 and PO2 even if the estimation  is delay by 90minutes.

 	A change is found in PO2, if the sample is stored for more than 30 minutes at room temperature. Although the changes were not that significant which could change the management of the patient.

description: Sequencing platforms that produce sequencing data must developed robust, fast and flexible pipelines to guarantee that good-quality data are delivered to research labs. The Biomics Pole (Institut Pasteur)  produces 100 runs a year combining MiSeq and HiSeq 2500 systems. In order to analyse the platform sequencing data on a daily-basis, we developed Sequana (Sequence Analysis), a Python-based software dedicated to the development of NGS pipelines. Sequana provides (1) NGS pipelines for production (in the form of Snakefile workflows), (2) a Python library with convenient tools to bridge the gap between  heteregenous tools and (3) a set of HTML / Javacript reports. Here, we present some of the pipelines currently available from quality control to variant calling.

description: Proteogenomics has emerged as an effective approach for identifying novel proteoforms and improve genome annotation. For example, matching mass spectrometry proteomic data to customized sample-specific RNASeq-derived databases facilitates identification of previously unidentified peptides. Proteogenomic identification of such peptides, however, requires greater scrutiny to qualify them as bonafide novel proteoform candidates.

In order to address these challenges we have developed a blueprint of modular galaxy workflows (doi: 10.1021/pr500812t). These include a) database generation from RNASeq (doi: 10.1186/1471-2164-15-703) or cDNA datasets; b) database search strategies that improve sensitivity of peptide spectral matches (doi: 10.1002/pmic.201200352); c) Filtering tools for quality control and d) modules for visualization and interpretation of results.

These Galaxy workflows were used in several studies to provide biological insights. In a fractionated human salivary dataset, we identified multiple, novel peptides that mapped to the basic proline-rich proteins (PRB1 and PRB2) located on chromosome 12. In a quantitative study of heart muscle (doi: 10.1021/acs.jproteome.5b00575) and skeletal muscle protein expression (doi: 10.1021/acs.jproteome.5b01138) during hibernation in 13-lined ground squirrel, researchers were able to identify peptides corresponding to previously uncharacterized proteins. Identification of these peptides allowed for improved genomic annotation of this non-model organism and provides insights into muscle physiology during hibernation.

We will present recent improvements by Galaxy-P team to the above described blueprint workflows. This includes development of Multi-Omics Visualization Platform (MVP) Galaxy plugin that facilitates viewing novel peptide sequences in the context of reference genome sequences and RNASeq data – enabling interpretation and hypothesis generation for testing to understand biological significance.

description: Understanding protein interactions and how they are altered in cancer is crucial for identifying new drug targets. Purification methods such as tandem affinity purification, affinity enrichment of labeled baits, and drug affinity chromatography have all been combined with mass spectrometry (affinity purification MS or AP-MS) to study protein interactions and complexes in cancer. However, if the scientist (e.g. a bench biologist or analytical chemist) lacks a computational background, then managing large proteomics datasets can be challenging, manually formatting data for input into analysis software can be error-prone, and data visualization involving dozens of variables can be laborious. These difficulties presented an opportunity to develop a solution that could move data from unprocessed AP-MS results to publication-quality figures in a single workflow. Here, we present Automated Processing of SAINT Templated Layouts (APOSTL), a Galaxy-based analysis pipeline for reproducible analysis of AP-MS data, and we demonstrate that this application streamlines the AP-MS data analysis workflow, improving both efficiency and consistency of the process. APOSTL utilizes Significance Analysis of INTeractome (SAINT), popular command-line software for analyzing AP-MS data. APOSTL can process AP-MS results from both MaxQuant and Scaffold, two widely used proteomics software, and APOSTL can create a number of publication-quality visualizations including interactive bubble plots, protein-protein interaction networks through Cytoscape.js integration, and pathway enrichment/gene ontology plots. All visualizations are accomplished through Shiny, an interactive and open-source visualization package for the R programming language. APOSTL is open-source software released under GPLv3, and it is freely available on the Galaxy Tool Shed and GitHub.

description: ibliometric mapping offers easiness in analyzing the relationship between publications through the network visuals created. Several applications, such as VOSviewer, Bibliometrix, and CiteSpace, make conducting network analysis more convenient. Moreover, the relationship provided is usually in the form of an undirected graph, which negates the two-way relationship created. This study attempts to demonstrate the significance of considering two-way relationships by proposing a keyword network formed using bidirected graphs and association rules to examine the two-way relationship of two or more keywords. According to the proposed bidirected graph, a two-way graph can add value and insight by analyzing the correlation between a single keyword and several others. Two of the four metrics used, Confidence and Conviction, are sufficient to support directed graphs. In contrast, Support and Full Counting are related because they both see the occurrences of a keyword, so using undirected graphs is necessary.

Thermal Tolerance, Herbivory and Tide Pool Distributions of Littorina sitkana and Littorina scutulata : Implications for a Warming World
Creators: name: Brownlee, Graham Robert Paul

description: As a consequence of climate change, both the magnitude and frequency of extreme temperature events are predicted to increase. Tide pools can experience dramatic fluctuations in their temperatures, and therefore may be strongly affected by future extremes. I looked to identify the effects of thermal variation among tide pools on the herbivorous intertidal snails Littorina sitkana and Littorina scutulata at April Point, Quadra Island, British Columbia. Through a thermal tolerance experiment, I found that L. scutulata is more tolerant to extreme temperatures than L. sitkana. I compared herbivory rates of the two species between a warmed (36 °C) and control (32 °C) temperature treatment, and found that each species has a unique mass-adjusted feeding rate, and that both had their rates inhibited by the hotter treatment. Through a tide pool heating experiment, I found that increased average and maximum temperatures did not contribute to changes in the abundances of adult L. sitkana, L. scutulata, the total abundance of both species, or the percentages of L. sitkana in the pools. Monitoring summer temperature and snail abundances in tide pools, the percentage of L. sitkana, the total abundances of snails, and the abundances of L. sitkana and L. scutulata changed through time, but were not influenced by average or maximum temperature, temperature variance, or temperature hours at or above thirty degrees Celcius. Thus, although the thermal tolerance patterns would suggest a shift towards L. scutulata in warmer (or warming) pools, I did not observe this pattern in the field. Nevertheless, the reduced herbivory rates for both L. scutulata and L. sitkana at high but realistic temperatures suggests that ongoing warming may lead to changes in littorine abundance and top-down control of macro-algae and epiphytes, but that other environmental, interactive, biological or behavioural factors may also contribute to how tide pool and the intertidal species respond to future change.
