description: Fecal contamination in shellfish harvesting areas in British Columbia affects human health, ecosystem function, and industry. Previous studies have investigated fecal contamination of marine environments, however, sources of contamination and the dispersal of contaminants throughout marine environments is contingent on the specific environmental conditions at a given site. In collaboration with the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC), this report addresses fecal contamination in marine waters across three vital shellfish harvesting locations on Vancouver Island (Saanich Inlet, Comox Harbour, and Baynes Sound), through the analysis of fecal coliform concentration data obtained from Environment and Climate Change Canada. FC concentration data spans from 1982 to 2022, and was analyzed in relation to environmental factors including rainfall, salinity, air temperature, land use, flushability and streamflow at the three study sites. Our findings highlight significant seasonal FC concentration variations, with peaks during fall, closely linked to increased precipitation and runoff. Land use analysis points to agriculture, residential development, and mining as key contamination sources. In addition, this study examined the relationship between river streamflow, proximity to river mouths, and FC concentration, providing nuanced insights into how freshwater inputs affect marine water quality and how this varies by river. This research also investigates coastal flushability, which refers to the ability of an area to clear pollutants through the movement of tidal waters. Results indicate that regions with increased water flow have reduced FC concentrations, highlighting how hydrodynamics play a role in dispersing contaminants. Conversations with stakeholders and investigation into regional sewage management practices suggest that private and central sewage management practices are likely an important source of fecal contamination. Elevated FC concentrations across all study areas reinforce concern regarding fecal contamination in this region. The results of our study lead us to recommend 1) increased regulation and monitoring of sewage infrastructure, 2) alternative sampling methods to identify sources of contamination, and 3) continued monitoring of FC concentration patterns in conjunction with the specific environmental factors in this region. These actions can maintain longevity of shellfish harvesting enterprises, improve the health of the marine environment, and decrease health risks to Indigenous Peoples practicing traditional harvesting.

description: Two problematic phytoplankton on the coast of British Columbia (BC) are Alexandrium spp., which produces saxitoxin that can cause Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning, and Pseudo-nitzschia spp., which produces domoic acid that can cause Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning. Phytoplankton such as Alexandrium spp. can release biotoxins in Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs). Climate change is exacerbating the development of HABs with shifting climatic variables such as temperature and nutrient availability that affect phytoplankton dynamics. Currently, biotoxin levels are monitored by the Canadian Shellfish Sanitation Program, but the system fails to consistently and inclusively inform First Nations’ communities about safe locations and times to harvest seafood. The risk of these poisonings and insufficient testing of shellfish harvesting sites along the coast of BC harms the food accessibility and sovereignty for First Nations along the Pacific coast. Using the variables of biotoxin concentration, sea-surface temperature, air temperature, salinity, precipitation, and NO₃ and PO₄ concentration, Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) and Random Forest machine-learning models were trained to conduct a 10-day prediction of biotoxin concentration locations exceeding regulation level. To develop the model, the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and feature importance plots were analysed for model accuracy and data applicability. We found that predicting biotoxin levels from a Random Forest model compared to MLP revealed similar levels of accuracy. The model largely uses data from global ocean and biogeochemical climate reanalysis models, rather than in-situ measurements. This is due to reanalysis data being open source; more complete; and having better spatial and temporal resolution. Further, we found that the reanalysis data had high correlation with observational data in our study area and would serve as a sufficient proxy. Overall, the Random Forest model using all predictor variables had the highest accuracy of 91%. In predicting AST exceedances with that model, air temperature, sea surface temperature and PO₄ concentration at 0.5m depth had the highest importance. In predicting PST exceeding regulatory threshold with the same model, results showed that salinity and PO₄ concentration at 0.5 m and 20 m depth had the highest importance. This model and its findings can help support First Nations food security and sovereignty by informing shellfish safety programs of high-risk areas and providing Indigenous harvesters an independent way of assessing harvest area status.

description: While bats provide numerous ecosystem services, urban populations of bats in Vancouver are increasingly threatened by habitat destruction, land fragmentation, and a lack of vegetation and prey to support their needs. Despite this, very little attention has been paid towards bridging existing ecological knowledge on bats towards local conservation policy. To better support the rich biodiversity of bats in Vancouver, this project was proposed by the City of Vancouver and CityStudio to identify bat-friendly vegetation and landscape features, and to assess the current bat habitat suitability of parks in the City of Vancouver. To accomplish these objectives, a literature review and expert interviews were first conducted to synthesize previous research and local knowledge. Subsequently, a geospatial multi-criteria evaluation was done to evaluate parks for bat habitat suitability. This was then ground truthed during site visits at select parks and supplemented by a statistical analysis of the restoration potential of parks for bat habitat suitability. As a result, 65 species of plants were identified to support bats in Vancouver, and 247 parks were ranked by bat habitat suitability and restoration potential. The highest scoring parks were generally large parks with established forests and stable freshwater bodies. Similarly, the parks with highest improvement potential were near other parks with water bodies and contained intermediate vegetational diversity. Deliverables for this project include this report, a bat-friendly landscape design guide pamphlet, and an interactive map of Vancouver’s parks by bat habitat suitability. This work can be used to guide policymakers at the City of Vancouver in strategically restoring public spaces for local bat species, building a more resilient ‘batscape’ for our critically important winged neighbours.

description: Utilising wheat straw reinforced OPC-free composites in the construction industry requires efficient, eco-friendly pre-treatment coupled with surface functionalisation methods to turn it into a high-performance material. Herein, alkali-activated material (AAM) was used as an OPC-free matrix, while eco-friendly hybrid pre-treatment and surface functionalisations were applied to mitigate the surface quality deficiencies of wheat straw and improve its compatibility with low-carbon binders. Wheat straw particles were subjected to a mild physical pre-treatment (hot-water followed by steam) and surface functionalisation using attapulgite nanoclay and graphene nanoplatelets to improve their capacity as an effective reinforcing material in AAM. Comprehensive characterisation verified successful pre-treatment and surface functionalisation, which led to the improved interfacial bond between wheat straw and AAM. The best results were obtained for the AAM samples reinforced with pre-treated straw that was functionalised with attapulgite nanoclay (i.e., H+S-AT), in which the volume of permeable voids decreased by 18%, while compressive and flexural strength at 90 d increased by 41% and 27%, respectively, compared to the control sample. However, the effect on the thermal properties of the resulted composites was not significant.

description: In intelligente Gebäudesysteme wird Informationstechnik in systematisch geplanter Form eingesetzt, um die Eigenschaften von Gebäuden in den Bereichen Betriebskosten, Sicherheit und Flexibilität begl. der Nutzung zu verbessern. So müssen Gebäude während ihres Lebenszyklus Nutzer- und Nutzungsänderungen bewältigen. Dies gilt nicht nur für Zweckbauten, sondern auch für Wohngebäude, die früher auf den klassischen Familientyp (4-köpfige Familie) hin optimiert wurden. Heute ist mehr eine nutzungsneutrale, funktionsoptimierbare Gestaltung von Gebäuden gefordert. Die Kleinfamilie löst sich mehr und mehr zugunsten anderer Haushaltsformen auf, ein Gebäude soll auch für Single- oder Zweipersonenhaushalte gut geeignet sein, es soll eine optimale Verbindung von Wohnen und Arbeiten zulassen oder später älteren, pflegebedürftigen Personen ein möglichst langes selbstbestimmtes Leben ermöglichen. Das System intelligentes Gebäude besteht aus der Gebäudehülle und einer Kommunikations- und Informationsverarbeitungs-Infrastruktur, zu der alle im Gebäude eingebauten Geräte gehören, die zum Betrieb des Gebäudes erforderlich sind. Die Koordination der Funktion von Einzelkomponenten erfolgt dabei weniger durch den Nutzer, sondern durch eine spezielle Software, die auf die Knoten im System verteilt ist. Diese Architektur ist Grundlage der Verbesserung der Gebäudeeigenschaften in den genannten Bereichen, die möglichen Funktionen und die damit verbundene Flexibilität in der Nutzung wird mit dem Ausdruck Intelligenz des Gebäudes assoziiiert. Der Beitrag versucht zunächst, auf Basis der Konzepte und Erfahrungen des Innovationszentrums Intelligentes Haus Duisburg, kurz inHaus, und des vom Fraunhofer-Institut IMS seit 1993 gewonnenen einschlägigen Know-Hows einen Überblick über den aktuellen Entwicklungsstand bei Systemintegrations-Technologien und -funktionen für ganzheitliche, intelligente Haus- und Gebäudesysteme zu geben, insbesondere für den Bereich der integrierten Bedienung und der Nutzung der Internet-Anbindung

description: There is no doubt whatsoever that emotions are very important and highly significant in the processing of data and information, as well as in the day-to day functioning of the human being. Eric Klinger, whose expertise is in personality psychology and motivation theory, focuses on the influences of motivation and emotion on cognition. Klinger suggests a “primary function of several emotions is to direct attention to concern-related stimuli. Besides being important for attention, emotions are also very significant in memory functions. Eric Klinger talks about the importance and the role of emotions in motivation: “Emotion is relevant to goal striving, purpose, and meaning in at least two fundamental ways. First, it constitutes the ultimate system for evaluation. It thus is the basis for value, which in turn determines what people strive for; and it is the internal code for experiencing goal pursuits as going well or ill. Second it is intertwined with cognitive processing – for example, with attention, recall, thought content, and dream content – and may very well be necessary for quickly noticing and processing events around us and inside us. In the second role, it codetermines people’s inner experience and their construals of the world around them.” That is, emotions are a significant, if not primary, contributor to the “system” of evaluation or value structure for meaning and purpose. Secondly emotions shape a person’s world-view.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Mental health issues are increasingly recognized as a global concern, with workplaces and service industries taking greater interest in emotional well-being. Call centers, where agents experience high stress and emotional labor, are environments where mental health monitoring can have transformative benefits. Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) powered by Artificial Intelligence enables real-time analysis of vocal cues to detect emotional states such as stress, frustration, anxiety, or burnout. This paper explores the foundational technologies of speech emotion AI, including acoustic feature extraction, machine learning, and deep neural network architectures. It discusses practical use cases in employee well-being monitoring, burnout prevention, and stress analytics within call centers. Real-world applications and pilot programs are reviewed to assess effectiveness and limitations. Ethical and privacy considerations such as data consent, emotional surveillance, and fairness are critically examined. The paper also addresses technical challenges in emotion generalization, cross-lingual performance, and real-time processing. Finally, it presents future directions such as multimodal emotion detection, explainable SER models, and AI-driven mental health interventions. Speech emotion AI offers a non-intrusive, scalable tool for supporting mental health in high-stress occupational environments like call centers.

Low-Temperature Microwave Measurements of Metal-to-Insulator Transitions in Silicon
Creators: name: Arkin, Dilyar
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: This report provide details on how we designed, built, and implemented an experiment to measure the microwave power absorption of single-crystal samples of silicon as a function of temperature. We worked with both pdoped and n-doped samples spanning a wide range of doping levels. Our measurements were made using a “loop-gap resonator” operating at 700 MHz which allowed us to measure as-grown crystals without requiring electrical contacts. We used a two-stage closed-cycle cryocooler and a thermal stage to vary the temperature of the sample from 20 to 80 K. The power absorption measurements and sample dimensions were used to extract the surface resistance of the samples. For samples with relatively low doping levels, a sharp decrease in the surface resistance was observed at low temperatures marking the onset of a metal-to-insulator transition. For each sample, a preliminary analysis of the surface resistance data has been used to extract the temperature dependence of the microwave conductivity.

description: The Climate Indicators for Agriculture report presents 20 indicators of climate change, carefully selected across multiple agricultural production types and food system elements in the United States. Together, they represent an overall view of how climate change is influencing U.S. agriculture and food systems. Individually, they provide useful information to support management decisions for a variety of crop and livestock production systems. The report includes multiple categories of indicators, including physical indicators (e.g., temperature, precipitation), crop and livestock (e.g., animal heat stress), biological indicators (e.g., pests), phenological indicators (e.g. seasonality), and socioeconomic indicators (e.g., total factor productivity).

description: Purpose: As the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) continues to rise, there is a need for interventions that focus on risk reduction and early disease management. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) can contribute to risk reduction efforts and deliver cognitive interventions; however, the nature and frequency of current clinical practice in those areas is unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to conduct an exploratory survey of the cognitive-communication practices and needs of SLPs for adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early-stage dementia from AD, to inform future research and clinical training efforts. Method: SLPs completed an online survey that assessed five areas of practice specific to cognitive-communication and MCI and early-stage dementia: (a) education and training, (b) MCI subtype knowledge and consideration, (c) goals and treatment practices, (d) assessment of everyday living skills, and (e) general clinical practices and needs. Results: One hundred fifty-seven SLPs completed the survey and represented a range of practice experience. Results revealed a discrepancy between the number of SLPs who provide services to adults with MCI or early-stage dementia and those who have received formal training to do so, suggesting a reliance on clinical practice experience. Participants primarily reported using interview and informal methods to assess daily activities and often described using compensatory-based treatments. Conclusions: These findings contribute to the limited knowledge about SLPs’ cognitive-communication practices to help improve early-disease management for AD, a rapidly growing population in need of SLPs’ services. More research is needed to support SLPs in being maximally effective when working with clients early in the AD continuum.

A Quantum Algorithm for the Bottleneck Travelling Salesman Problem
Creators: name: Tejani, Raveel
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: This thesis presents the development and analysis of a quantum algorithm tailored for solving the decision problem variant of the Bottleneck Travelling Salesman Problem (BTSP). The decision problem asks whether there exists a Hamiltonian cycle such that no edge weight within the cycle is less than a specified value (α). We construct two unitary matrices, both of whose eigenvalues are phases corresponding to the total cost associated with the Hamiltonian cycle. One matrix applies after all edge weights ≥ α are set to zero. Utilizing quantum phase estimation, we construct an algorithm to evaluate a Hamiltonian cycle of a graph before and after removing edge weights that do not satisfy the condition. If the total cost remains unaffected, we can conclude it is a solution. The proposed quantum algorithm maintains the inherent computational complexity of the classical BTSP, O((N − 1)!), yet introduces the potential for parallelization. We thoroughly examine the algorithm’s performance by applying it to both a 4-city and 5-city graph, simulating the quantum operations using Qiskit, an open-source quantum computing framework. Results from the simulations affirm that the algorithm effectively identifies minimized bottleneck paths. Notably, the thesis also delves into the potential scalability of the algorithm, assessing its applicability to larger graphs and more complex datasets. By analyzing various outcomes, we establish insights into the practical implementation of this quantum algorithm.
