description: The tropical mountainous area of the southeastern Tibetan Plateau (TP) is a hotspot of ecological environment research because of its rich biodiversity. However, limited knowledge regarding modern pollen rain within this area has impeded further investigation research on eco-environmental evolution by using pollen record. Here, we collected 62 modern pollen samples from lowland tropics to the subalpine (740-3550 m a.s.l.) in Medog County, located in the southeastern TP, and performed pollen analysis. Cluster analysis, redundancy analysis, variance partitioning analysis, boosted regression trees were employed to investigate the relationship between pollen and vegetation-climate. Additionally, Hill numbers (N0, N1, N2) and specificity-occupancy plots were utilized to explore plant diversity. The results indicate that modern pollen rain in Medog can reflect well the current characteristics of vegetation, encompassing both primary and secondary features. Pollen of Cyclobalanopsis, Tsuga and Abies, which are dominant components of the primary vegetation above 2100 m a.s.l., can serve as indicator species for palaeovegetation reconstruction. Mean annual precipitation is the most important climatic determinant affecting pollen distribution. Pollen diversity indices reveal that the plant diversity in this study area has a bimodal pattern of “relatively high-low-highest-low” with altitude. The plant diversity above 2100 m a.s.l. is mainly decided by primary vegetation, whereas below 2100 m a.s.l. can be explained by the intermediate disturbance hypothesis. Furthermore, it is advisable to exercise caution when dealing with arboreal pollen evenness in open mountainous environments due to the increased potential pollen source area caused by valley wind.

description: This dissertation explores the origins of counterterrorism by seeking to explain variations in counterterrorism practices by states: Even relatively similar states, facing relatively similar uses of terrorism, at roughly the same time, may apply quite different coercive techniques. Most terrorism research tends to explain variations using implicit assumptions of rational choice - with obvious and problematic implications for both evaluation and prescription. This study develops three alternative hypothetical explanations for such variations, drawn from cognitive psychology, organizational theory, and institutional theory; these hypotheses are then tested against a set of case studies using a process tracing approach. The cases include six discrete practices across three states: In Canada, the use of exceptional powers of search and detention in October of 1970, followed by extra-legal disruptive tactics by police from 1971-1972; in the United Kingdom, the deployment of military personnel to active duty in Northern Ireland in 1969, and the subsequent introduction of internment without trial in the province in 1971; and in France, the police investigation of separatist bombing campaigns in Corsica in 1973-197 4, followed by a massive police operation to end a politically-motivated occupation in 1975. Accounts of these events are developed from interviews with participants and extensive archival research, complemented where necessary by secondary sources. The dissertation finds that the rational choice and cognitive hypotheses are not borne out by the evidence, and that the organizational hypothesis offers only a partial explanation of some of the practices under study. Variations in counterterrorism practices are found to be the result of differences in the institutional rules that govern the exercise of coercive power within different states, and arise from negotiations that play out in the shadow of those rules. Organizational factors explain residual variation: Where there is ambiguity or silence in policy direction and institutional rules, bureaucracies tasked with implementing policy will resolve this ambiguity by applying and incrementally modifying existing capabilities - with unintended, though not always unexpected, results. This finding suggests that counterterrorism has political as well as instrumental dimensions, with implications for both evaluation and prescription.
Resource Illiteracy : A Curse on Inland Waters

description: Reckless exploitation of water resources is a major cause of concern. Ironically, a widespread resource illiteracy prevails in us and we are trapped behind a multitude of barriers that lie in our basic outlook which stresses on the present day contentment and short term paybacks. The unacceptably slow awakening may partly be due to fragmented knowledge of ecology, careless attitude and lack of action rather than planning of civic campaigns. We are confronted with major issues that call for sustainable long-term solutions. The problem is over-riding and threatening humanity now. Unless coped within time, eutrophication may lead to disappearance of lentic habitats.
Theory of pump-probe experiments of metallic metamaterials coupled to the gain medium

description: We establish a new approach for pump-probe simulations of metallic metamaterials coupled to the gain materials. It is of vital importance to understand the mechanism of the coupling of metamaterials with the gain medium. Using a four-level gain system, we have studied light amplification of arrays of metallic split-ring resonators (SRRs) with a gain layer underneath. We find that that the differential transmittance ΔT/T can be negative for SRRs on the top of the gain substrate, which is not expected, and ΔT/T is positive for the gain substrate alone. These simulations agree with pump-probe experiments and can help to design new experiments to compensate the losses of metamaterials.

description: An explanation of paradoxical behavior of the residual resistivity rho_0 of the heavy-fermion metal CeCoIn5 in magnetic fields and under pressure is developed. The source of this behavior is identified as a flattening of the single-particle spectrum, which exerts profound effects on the specific heat, thermal expansion coefficient, and magnetic susceptibility in the normal state, the specific heat jump at the point of superconducting phase transition, and other properties of strongly correlated electron systems in solids. It is shown that application of a magnetic field or pressure to a system possessing a flat band leads to a strong suppression of rho_0. Analysis of its measured thermodynamic and transport properties yields direct evidence for the presence of a flat band in CeCoIn5.

Tariffs vs. Quotas as Revenue Raising Devices Under Uncertainty
Creators: name: Stiglitz, Joseph E.
name: Dasgupta, Partha
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1977
Subjects: Economics

description: This article examines the relative merits of tariffs and quotas as revenue raising devices in the presence of economic uncertainty. It has long been recognized that, provided the government auctions off the quota, the optimum pure tariff and the optimum pure quota are equivalent in a competitive world with no uncertainty. However, in such a world the equivalence is between a pure tariff and a pure quota that are both functions of the state of nature. The border policies that are most commonly resorted to by governments are fixed tariff rates and fixed quantity restrictions. They are often regarded as polar forms of trade restrictions. They have different very different effects: a fixed tariff on a commodity stabilizes its domestic price in the face of random domestic demand and supply but a fixed international price; while a quota stabilizes its domestic price if its international price is random but its domestic demand and supply functions are fixed. Results of the study reveal that under the conventional criterion of maximizing the expected value of net consumer's surplus, the optimum fixed tariff is superior to the optimum fixed quota. The result continues to hold if instead the maxi-min criterion is followed.

description: In this thesis, I examine the movement connections between stage and screen through my own hybrid works, Somnolence and Fraction ( contemporary dance and videodance within live performance). I suggest that a hybrid work and process renders a work intermedia, and that the intertwining of these mediums through the process give rise to an intermedial work that is greater than the sum of its parts. Additionally, I argue that there is something even more foundational embedded in the hybrid process: a web of connections that exist across the mediums. I assert that it is this web of connections (what I call a matrix, or matrices) that is made between mediums that allows for the hybrid work to be perceived and experienced as a whole.

The Axion Dark Matter eXperiment high resolution channel is especially sensitive to axions in such low velocity dispersion flows. Results from a combined power spectra analysis of the high resolution channel axion search are presented along with a discussion of the assumptions underlying such an analysis. We exclude KSVZ axion dark matter densities of ρ > 0.2 GeV/cm^3 and DFSZ densities of ρ > 1.4 GeV/cm^3 over a mass range of m_a = 3.3μeV to 3.69μeV for models having velocity dispersions of Δβ < 3x10^-6.

How to make an ultra-faint dwarf spheroidal galaxy: tidal stirring of disky dwarfs with shallow dark matter density profiles

description: In recent years the Sloan Digital Sky Survey has unraveled a new population of ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) in the vicinity of the Milky Way (MW) whose origin remains a puzzle. Using a suite of collisionless N-body simulations, we investigate the formation of UFDs in the context of the tidal stirring model for the formation of dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the Local Group (LG). Our simulations are designed to reproduce the tidal interactions between MW-sized host galaxies and rotationally supported dwarfs embedded in 10^9 M_sun dark matter (DM) halos. We explore a variety of inner density slopes ρ\propto r^{-α} for the dwarf DM halos, ranging from core-like (α= 0.2) to cuspy (α= 1), and different dwarf orbital configurations. Our experiments demonstrate that UFDs can be produced via tidal stirring of disky dwarfs on relatively tight orbits, consistent with a redshift of accretion by the host galaxy of z \sim 1, and with intermediate values for the halo inner density slopes (ρ\propto r^{-0.6}). The inferred slopes are in excellent agreement with those resulting from both the modeling of the rotation curves of dwarf galaxies and recent cosmological simulations of dwarf galaxy formation. Comparing the properties of observed UFDs with those of their simulated counterparts, we find remarkable similarities in terms of basic observational parameters. We conclude that tidal stirring of rotationally supported dwarfs represents a viable mechanism for the formation of UFDs in the LG environment.

From center to periphery : the demotion of Literary Sinitic and the beginnings of hanmunkwa—Korea, 1876–1910
Creators: name: Wells, William Scott
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: From the 1876 Treaty of Kanghwa to Korea’s annexation in 1910, the last thirty-five years of the Chosŏn dynasty (1392–1910) were witness to some of the most impactful events in Korea’s modern history. Through encounters with Western powers and the influence, both direct and indirect, of a rapidly modernizing Japan, many Koreans began to reappraise their country’s Sino-centric past and the once-shared knowledge, symbols, and practices of the traditional East Asian cosmopolitan order. A major consequence of this reappraisal was the demotion of Literary Sinitic (commonly known as Classical Chinese) from its long-held status as the de facto official written standard of state and its removal from the center of the curriculum of state-sponsored education to the periphery in the guise of a newly created classroom subject hanmunkwa. This thesis details how shifts in the terminology for both Literary Sinitic and the vernacular script, the educational activities of Western missionaries, the abolition of Korea’s traditional civil service examination system, the establishment of a Western-style educational system, the proliferation of new Literary Sinitic teaching materials and methodologies, and the influence of Japan combined at the end of the Chosŏn dynasty to demote the learning and use of Literary Sinitic. Furthermore, this thesis shows that Literary Sinitic’s demise was not simply the collateral damage of a predestined and unavoidable rise of Korea’s native script, but was, by the time of annexation, already a long though still unfinished process. The reappraisal and demotion of Literary Sinitic in Korea is important for more than merely understanding the precolonial moment in Korea. It is vital to improving our understanding of Korea’s part in the disintegration of a once vibrant East Asian cosmopolitanism, while further exploring the early development of hanmunkwa will also help us apprehend the lingering effects and influences exercised by once transcultured practices, even after those practices are reimagined and reconfigured according to new, nationalized frameworks.
Spontaneous parity breaking and supersymmetry breaking in metastable vacua with consistent cosmology

description: We study the compatibility of spontaneous breaking of parity and successful cosmology in a left-right symmetric model where supersymmetry breaking is achieved in metastable vacua. We show that domain walls formed due to this breaking can be removed due to Planck scale suppressed terms, provided the parity breaking scale $M_R$ is constrained to remain smaller than $10^{10}-10^{11}$ GeV. Ensuring metastability is achieved naturally even if the entire mechanism operates at low scales, within a few orders of magnitude of the TeV scale. Taking $M_R$ as high as permitted, close to the acceptable reheat temperature after inflation, would require the magnetic phase of the Supersymmetric Quantum Chromodynamics (SQCD) to have set in before the end of inflation.

description: In this work, the chemi-ionization processes in atom- Rydberg atom collisions, as well as the corresponding chemi-recombination processes are considered as factors of influence on the atom exited-state populations in weakly ionized layers of stellar atmospheres. The presented results are related to the photospheres of the Sun and some M red dwarfs as well as weakly ionized layers of DB white dwarfs atmospheres. It has been found that the mentioned chemi ionization/recombination processes dominate over the relevant concurrent electron-atom and electron-ion ionization and recombination process in all parts of considered stellar atmospheres. The obtained results demonstrate the fact that the considered chemi ionization/recombination processes must have a very significant influence on the optical properties of the stellar atmospheres. Thus, it is shown that these processes and their importance for non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) modeling of the solar atmospheres should be investigated further.

Information and Competitive Price Systems

Subjects: Economics

description: Although the price system is conventionally praised as an efficient way of transmitting the information required to arrive at a Pareto optimal allocation of resources, the context in which the price system is usually discussed is not one in which the informational efficiency of the price system can be properly evaluated. Questions of how the price system leads the economy to respond to a new situation, how it conveys information from informed individuals to uninformed individuals, and how it aggregates the different information of different individuals, are never directly attacked. In a series of papers authors have attempted to remedy this deficiency. It is the object of this article to draw attention to some of the more fundamental implications of authors approach and to use it to assess the meaning and validity of the efficient market hypothesis. Although the discussion of authors will accordingly focus on the capital market, the kind of analysis developed here is applicable to any competitive market subject to random shocks.
Simulation of a photochemical reactor for benzene elimination from waste gas

description: Bibliography: p. 97-104
description: A considerable amount of BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl-benzene and Xylene) is being emitted by oil and gas industry. New techniques such as photolysis could help the industry achieve present and future emission standards. In this work the feasibility of photolysis technique for BTEX removal from waste gas has been investigated. A simulation model has been developed for benzene photolysis in waste gas which includes a light field model, a chemical model, a flow pattern model and a mass transfer model. At air flow rates of 1.5 L/min and benzene concentrations ranging from I to IO g/m3 a likely concentration range for an industrial photolysis process, the model predicts a degradation rate of about 1.9-2 mg/min, in a 0.5 L reactor with a 40-watt UV lamp emitting 8% of its power consumption of 185 nm and 30% at 254 nm which amounts to about l kg benzene per year. This is slightly above the experimental results (1-1.5 mg/min) obtained in earlier work (M. Rezaei, internal report, U ofC, 2010). The model predicts that premixing ozone will increase the efficiency of the process dramatically. Simulations also show that condensation is a promising pre-treatment technique for this process. Based on energy requirement calculations, it is concluded that the combination of condensation, ozone pre-mixing and UV photolysis is economically feasible.
The Cambridge-Cambridge Controversy in the Theory of Capital; A View from New Haven: A Review Article
Creators: name: Stiglitz, Joseph E.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1974
Subjects: Economics

description: Economics has long been plagued with controversies: the Keynesian-monetarist controversy, the investment function controversy (is the elasticity of substitution unity?), the liquidity preference-loanable funds controversy. Geoffrey Harcourt has extended his survey article from the Journal of Economic Literature (1969) into a book dealing with one of the latest of these so-called controversies, that between Cambridge, England, and Cambridge, Massachusetts, concerning capital theory. The book is more balanced and more complete than the original survey article and includes some good pieces of exposition. The problems that I find with the book are basically problems I find with the Cambridge (U.K.) theory of which he is a partisan on one side-as, I suppose, I am on the other--and so, rather than focus on any errors and confusions which are peculiar to Harcourt, I prefer to focus on three of the major issues involved in the dispute and to suggest, in doing so, where Harcourt (and the Cambridge [U.K.] theorists) have gone astray.

description: Synovial fluid (SF) contains a population of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with the capacity to generate cartilage, and as such may play a role is new treatment approaches for cartilage disorders. However, it is necessary to generate clinically-relevant numbers of these cells in a scalable and reproducible culture system. This study used three donors to evaluate microcarrier technology to expand populations of adult human SFÂ­derived MSCs. Inoculation and growth protocols developed showed that an increase in cell to microcarrier ratio and using a fed batch culture system had the greatest impact in increasing the final cell yield. With the improved suspension culture protocol, a maximum cell density of 1.89 x 105 cells/ml was achieved compared with 1.12 x 105 cells/ml obtained in static culture. Additionally, serial propagation in microcarrier suspension bioreactors achieved a 21.3 cell fold increase after 18 days in culture. Characterization of SF-derived MSCs showed that the cells maintained their defining characteristics.

description: Motivated by the close correlation between transition temperature ($T_c$) and the tetrahedral bond angle of the As-Fe-As layer observed in the iron-based superconductors, we study the interplay between spin and orbital physics of an isolated iron-arsenide tetrahedron embedded in a metallic environment. Whereas the spin Kondo effect is suppressed to low temperatures by Hund's coupling, the orbital degrees of freedom are expected to quantum mechanically quench at high temperatures, giving rise to an overscreened, non-Fermi liquid ground-state. Translated into a dense environment, this critical state may play an important role in the superconductivity of these materials.

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the gender influences of female international students who are planning to remain in Canada after graduation. Eight participants shared the experiences that played a relevant role in their career and immigration choices. A thematic analysis approach was used to gain a better understanding of gender-related aspects of their experiences, which generated seven categories and twenty nine themes. The participants' narratives were framed through the use of the System Theory Framework (STF, Patton & McMahon, 2006) as well as acculturation and cultural identity models. Results suggested that family influences, career-related considerations, and gender-specific aspects of these women's identities were instrumental in their choice to stay in the host country. These findings aim to broaden the literature regarding the international student population and to provide further information about the strengths, motivations, and challenges faced by female international students who are considering permanent immigration to Canada.

description: Background: First Nations People experience higher rates of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and mortality compared to non-First Nations People. We examined the two groups for differences in quality of care and associations with renal failure and death. Methods: Adults with diabetes were identified through administrative data from 2005 to 2008. Differences in four diabetic quality indicators [proteinuria, LDL, hemoglobin AlC (HbAlC), creatinine] were assessed during a one year period. Differences in renal failure and death were also assessed. Results: For those without CKD, First Nations People were less likely to receive all four quality indicators and to achieve the HbAlC target. Rates of renal failure and death were higher for First Nations People, and were associated with lack of measurement (LDL) and levels above target (HbAlC). Conclusion: Differences in quality of care between First Nations and non-First Nations People with diabetes exist, and may contribute to worse clinical outcomes.

Conductive thermoplastic multi-walled carbon nanotubes/copper nanowires/polystyrene hybrid nanocomposites

Publisher: name: University of Calgary

description: Conductive polymer nanocomposites have drawn much interest for the last decade in its versatility and novel applications. Because of the increased surface area of the fillers, properties such as Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) shielding and possibly mechanical properties can be enhanced tremendously and they are used in many light weight hand held electronics. To increase the competitiveness of nanocomposites, percolation threshold should be minimized so as to lower the production cost. In this project, the goal is to use as little as possible nanofillers in polymer composites and still benefit from their favourable properties. It was discovered that, by adding a small amount of second filler, the overall conductivity and EMI shielding effectiveness can be enhanced and reached an optimum level. The resulted MWNT/CuNW/Polystyrene composites exhibit EMI shielding effectiveness exceeding that of metal nanofillers and carbon nanotube/polymer composites formulated by solution processing. There are three major mechanisms for EMI shielding namely reflection, absorption and multiple reflections. From literature reviews of the mechanism of EMI shielding, MWNT shields mainly by adsorption while metal nanowire shields largely by reflection. Inherently, these two different fillers have very distant physical properties, and studying the synergy effect of these two fillers in polystyrene as conductive composites is part of the objective of this project. The objective of this project 1s satisfied by making an extremely low percolated MWNT/PS nanocomposite with a volume fraction of only 0.00052. This is the lowest concentration being reported from the literature review. By altering the ratios and concentrations of the two nanofillers (MWNT and CuNW) in polystyrene composites, an optimum ratio of 3: 1 is obtained. In this ratio, the hybrid nanocomposites prepared have the highest electrical conductivity and EMI shielding effectiveness. The statistical analysis agrees well with the previous findings that the amount of MWNT in the polymer is the major factor affecting the overall electrical conductivity of final composites. The other factors studied are sonication time, compression pressure, time and temperature which are not significant to change the electrical conductivity of the composites.

A study of hockey in Canadian drama
Creators: name: Andrews, Frazer
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2012

description: Bibliography: p. 96-103
description: This thesis explores the game of hockey as portrayed in Canadian Drama, and introduces Hockey Drama as a unique new sub-genre. It highlights characters from Canadian plays directly or indirectly involved with the game and discusses the impacts of hockey on their lives. This study also examines the use of hockey as a dramatic device in Canadian Drama, namely as a symbol of struggle and conflict. Canadian Hockey Drama productions date back to the late 1960's, and include: Theatre for Young Audiences, Bilingual Drama, Musicals and Shakespeare Adaptations. This study outlines the myriad ways in which Hockey Drama has been employed by playwrights to broach socio-politically relevant Canadian issues.

description: We discuss the coherence of magnetic oscillations in a magnetic tunnel junction-based spin-torque oscillator as a function of external field angle. Time-frequency analysis shows mode-hopping between distinct oscillator modes, which arises from linear and nonlinear couplings in the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, analogous to mode-hopping observed in semiconductor ring lasers. These couplings and therefore mode-hopping are minimized near the current threshold for antiparallel (AP) alignment of free layer with reference layer magnetization. Away from the AP alignment, mode-hopping limits oscillator coherence.
