title: XI. International Conference On Permafrost : Exploring Permafrost in a Future Earth ; Book of Abstracts
Creators: name: Günther, Frank
name: Morgenstern, Anne
Publisher: name: Bibliothek Wissenschaftpark Albert Einstein
Year: 2016

description: The Local Organizing Committee (LOC) of the Eleventh International Conference on Permafrost
(ICOP2016) is excited about the breadth and the
quality of the abstracts submitted for this conference.
It was the first time that ICOP topical sessions
were not set by the organizing committee in a topdown
manner. Instead, sessions were submitted from
the bottom-up by groups of researchers and engineers
from all over the world. This grassroots effort
prompted the submission of many innovative topics
covering the full range of modern permafrost research.
It also facilitated not only the engagement of the
core permafrost community, but also of science disciplines
traditionally less involved in ICOPs. In total, 51
session proposals were received by the LOC. These
were submitted by up to three conveners including
at least one early career researcher from the Permafrost
Young Researchers Network (PYRN). After the
evaluation process by the International Scientific Committee
(ISC) and the LOC, including the addition of
strategic topics and the combination of sessions with
thematic overlap, 40 topical sessions were eventually
opened for abstract submission. There was yet another
novelty compared to previous ICOPs: the submission
of contributions was not divided into abstracts
and papers, in favor of a quicker and uniform review
process allowing for the submission deadline to be set
closer to the conference. This opened the possibility
for authors to present recent results in the rapidly
evolving field of permafrost research. Abstracts of up
to 3000 words were allowed, either plain or formatted
with subheadings, and including one figure, table or
equation.
We received the extraordinary number of 980 abstracts.
This number varied between 79 and 0 among
sessions, which led to a further consolidation into
the final set of 32 sessions presented in this abstract
volume. Abstract evaluation was placed in the hands
of the session conveners. The vast majority of abstracts
(97 %) was deemed eligible to be accepted
for presentation during the conference, either immediately
or after revision by the authors. The reduced
number of abstracts presented in this volume is mostly
due to the inability of travelling to the conference for
some authors.
We are very delighted that the modified procedures
for the compilation of the scientific conference
program proved so successful and wish to extend
our gratitude to the session conveners and ISC members
for their tremendous efforts and great support
in compiling such a high-quality program. We also
wish to thank Hans-Wolfgang Hubberten, Lydia Polakowski,
Matthias Fuchs, Ingmar Nitze, Samuel
Stettner, Karina Schollaen, Hugues Lantuit, and
Guido Grosse for their technical help in the final
editing phase of this abstract volume.

description: At high redshift, the universe was so young that core-collapse supernovae (SNe) are suspected to be the dominant source of dust production. However, some observations indicate that the dust production by SNe is an inefficient process, casting doubts on the existence of abundant SNe-dust in the early universe. Recently, Perley et al. (2010) reported that the afterglow of GRB 071025 - an unusually red GRB at z ~ 5 - shows evidence for the SNe-produced dust. Since this is perhaps the only high redshift GRB exhibiting compelling evidence for SNe-dust but the result could easily be affected by small systematics in photometry, we re-examined the extinction properties of GRB 071025 using our own optical/near-infrared data at a different epoch. In addition, we tested SNe-dust models with different progenitor masses and dust destruction efficiencies to constrain the dust formation mechanisms. By searching for the best-fit model of the afterglow spectral energy distribution, we confirm the previous claim that the dust in GRB 071025 is most likely to originate from SNe. We also find that the SNe-dust model of 13 or 25M_{\odot} without dust destruction fits the extinction property of GRB 071025 best, while pair-instability SNe (PISNe) models with a 170M_{\odot} progenitor poorly fit the data. Our results indicate that, at least in some systems at high redshift, SNe with intermediate masses within 10 - 30M_{\odot} were the main contributors for the dust enrichment, and the dust destruction effect due to reverse shock was negligible.

description: We study transport properties in a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid in the presence of two time-dependent point like weak impurities, taking into account finite-length effects. By employing analytical methods and performing a perturbation theory, we compute the backscattering pumping current (I_bs) in different regimes which can be established in relation to the oscillatory frequency of the impurities and to the frequency related to the length and the renormalized velocity (by the electron-electron interactions) of the charge density modes. We investigate the role played by the spatial position of the impurity potentials. We also show how the previous infinite length results for I_bs are modified by the finite size of the system.

description: In der Luft- und Raumfahrttechnik werden faserverstärkte Kunststoffe bereits seit den siebziger Jahren in strukturellen und nicht-strukturellen Anwendungen eingesetzt. Der Haupttreiber für deren Einsatz ist das hohe Potenzial zur Reduktion des Systemgewichts und die damit unmittelbar verbundene Senkung der Betriebskosten. In diesem Zusammenhang etablieren sich seit einigen Jahren zunehmend thermoplastische Faserverbunde, da deren Einsatz eine vielversprechende Möglichkeit darstellt, die Kosten pro ein-gespartem Kilogramm Gewicht zu reduzieren. Dies setzt wiederum voraus, dass zeit- und damit kostenoptimierte Prozesstechnologien zur Bauteilherstellung eingesetzt werden. Eine Prozesskette, die diese Anforderungen erfüllt, basiert auf der Verarbeitung von unidirektional faserverstärkten thermoplastischen Tapes in den Schritten Tapelegen, Konsolidieren und Bauteilherstellung durch Stempel-Umformung. Die große Herausforderung beim Transfer solcher Technologien in den Anwendungsbereich Luft- und Raumfahrt besteht in den hohen Qualitätsanforderungen an die fertigen Bauteile, den Herstellungsprozess sowie die Materialien und Halbzeuge selbst. Da die thermoplastische Matrix in den einzelnen Schritten der Prozesskette aufgeschmolzen und wieder abgekühlt wird, stellen sich die resultierenden Eigenschaften erst im finalen Schritt der Prozesskette ein. In diesem Kontext werden im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit zwei qualitätsrelevante Morphologiemerkmale, die Porosität und der Kristallisationsgrad, entlang einer solchen Prozesskette untersucht. Dabei ist es das zentrale Ziel, pro-zessübergreifende Parameter zu identifizieren, welche die Merkmale beeinflussen und deren Auswirkungen auf die mechanischen Eigenschaften zu bewerten. In einem ganzheitlichen Ansatz wird dazu zunächst das Ausgangsmaterial charakterisiert und die bestimmten Ergebnisse als Referenz für die weiteren Untersuchungen festgelegt. Für jedes Merkmal wird anschließend separat in den einzelnen Prozessschritten ermittelt, welche prozessspezifischen Parameter relevant sind und wie sich diese im jeweiligen Schritt auf das entsprechende Merkmal auswirken. Für das Merkmal Kristallisationsgrad werden die praktischen Versuche durch ein Simulationsmodell ergänzt, das den Temperaturverlauf und die resultierende Kristallinität für den Teilschritt Konsolidieren abbildet. Der Zusammenhang der Morphologiemerkmale mit den mechanischen Eigenschaften wird abschließend auf Basis einer Charakterisierung ausgewählter mechanischer Kenn-werte bewertet.

description: Within a fully microscopic setting, we derive a variational principle for the non-equilibrium steady states of chemical reaction networks, valid for time-scales over which chemical potentials can be taken to be slowly varying: at stationarity the system minimizes a global function of the reaction fluxes with the form of a Hopfield Hamiltonian with Hebbian couplings, that is explicitly seen to correspond to the rate of decay of entropy production over time. Guided by this analogy, we show that reaction networks can be formally re-cast as systems of interacting reactions that optimize the use of the available compounds by competing for substrates, akin to agents competing for a limited resource in an optimal allocation problem. As an illustration, we analyze the scenario that emerges in two simple cases: that of toy (random) reaction networks and that of a metabolic network model of the human red blood cell.

(0 . 025 x 0.50 x 2.54 cm . ) sliced plate. Eight fibrous mixes and one plain concrete mix were cast on the basis of equal slump and equal cement content, and then tested to determine the effects o f volume concentration of fibers and aspect ratio on fatigue strength and deflection characteristics. Strength and deflection both increased significantly as fiber concentration and the product of volume concentration and aspect ratio, ~, increased. Static flexural and compressive strengths, flexure toughness , and the characteristics of flexural failure were also examined with regard to varying fiber concentration and aspect ratio. In each case, performance of the fibrous mix was compared with the plain concrete mix.

description: „Kundenorientierung ist entscheidend für den Innovationserfolg!“ Obwohl dem Wissenschaftler und Praktiker in der Marktforschung grundsätzlich zustimmen dürften, ist mit der konsequenten Ausrichtung auf die Kundenbedürfnisse gleichzeitig der Nachteil einer konservativen Innovationspolitik verbunden. Kunden fördern durch ihre Fixierung auf aktuelle Marktangebot primär kleine Weiterentwicklungen, d.h. inkrementale Innovationen. Dieses Dilemma kann mit Hilfe besonders fortschrittlicher Kunden (Lead User) überwunden werden.
 Die Lead User Methode hilft Unternehmen dabei, das innovative Potential dieser hochqualifizierten Kunden zu nutzen. Eine Fallanwendung mit der Johnson&Johnson Medical GmbH demonstriert, wie auf diese Weise Ansätze für radikale Innovationen erarbeitet werden können.
description: “Close orientation with the market is essential for innovation success!” Although both academics and market research practitioners would generally agree with this statement, alignment with the needs of the customer often results in conservative innovation strategies. Due to their focus on what is currently on offer in the marketplace, customers primarily demand small, step-wise developments - so-called incremental innovations. This dilemma can be overcome through with the help of particularly advanced customers (Lead Users).
 The Lead User method aids companies in capitalizing on the innovative potential of these highly qualified customers. A case study with the German firm, Johnson & Johnson Medical GmbH, demonstrated that Breakthrough Innovations are achievable this way.

description: We analyse the quark mass dependence of the binding energy of the H-dibaryon in the framework of chiral effective field theory. We show that the SU(3) breaking effects induced by the differences of the pertinent two-baryon thresholds (Lambda-Lambda, Xi-N, Sigma-Sigma) have a very pronounced impact that need to be incorporated properly in future lattice QCD simulations. We also point out that if the H-dibaryon is a two-baryon bound state, its dominant component is Xi-N rather than Lambda-Lambda, which is a consequence of the approximate SU(3) flavor symmetry of the two-baryon interactions.

description: We introduce a prototype model in an attempt to capture some aspects of market dynamics simulating a trading mechanism. The model description starts with a discrete-space, continuous-time Markov process describing arrival and movement of orders with different prices. We then perform a re-scaling procedure leading to a deterministic dynamical system controlled by non-linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). This allows us to introduce approximations for the equilibrium distribution of the model represented by fixed points of deterministic dynamics.

A subjunctive standard for mens rea
Creators: name: Bateni, Setareh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A fundamental distinction in criminal law is the distinction between actus reus and mens rea, the criminal act and the criminal intent. Two distinct standards have arisen for deciding mens rea: an objective standard and a subjective standard. The purpose of this thesis is to develop a three-step rule that will make it easier to decide whether to apply the objective or subjective standard in cases involving intoxication. Since this rule introduces a subjunctive approach to interpreting mens rea, I call this standard the subjunctive standard of mens rea. The subjunctive standard of mens rea is based primarily on a decision about whether an accused would have had the mens rea required to commit a prohibited act in the absence of alcohol. Thus, the subjunctive standard of mens rea should be used only when the accused is believed to have committed a prohibited act while intoxicated. The test for deciding whether an accused would have had the mens rea required to commit a criminal act is based largely but not exclusively on the accused’s credibility at trial. This thesis in effect gives judges and lawyers a new tool. It introduces a new rule that can be used to decide which standard of mens rea best suits a given case. This three step rule is a rule free from ambiguity and restraint and yet fully consistent with Charter values, something that is important for prosecutors and defendants alike.

Reduced Modelling of Oscillatory Flows in Compliant Conduits at the Microscale

description: In this thesis, a theory of fluid--structure interaction (FSI) between an oscillatory Newtonian fluid flow and a compliant conduit is developed for canonical geometries consisting of a 2D channel with a deformable top wall and an axisymmetric deformable tube. Focusing on hydrodynamics, a linear relationship between wall displacement and hydrodynamic pressure is employed, due to its suitability for a leading-order-in-slenderness theory. The slenderness assumption also allows the use of lubrication theory, which is used to relate flow rate to the pressure gradient (and the tube/wall deformation) via the classical solutions for oscillatory flow in a channel and in a tube (attributed to Womersley). Then, by two-way coupling the oscillatory flow and the wall deformation via the continuity equation, a one-dimensional nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) governing the instantaneous pressure distribution along the conduit is obtained, without \textit{a priori} assumptions on the magnitude of the oscillation frequency (i.e., at arbitrary Womersley number).The PDE is solved numerically to evaluate the pressure distribution as well as the cycle-averaged pressure at several points along the length of the channel and the tube. It is found that the cycle-averaged pressure (for harmonic pressure-controlled conditions) deviates from the expected steady pressure distribution, suggesting the presence of a streaming flow. An analytical perturbative solution for a weakly deformable conduit is also obtained to rationalize how FSI induces such streaming. In the case of a compliant tube, the results obtained from the proposed reduced-order PDE and its perturbative solutions are validated against three-dimensional, two-way-coupled direct numerical simulations. A good agreement is shown between theory and simulations for a range of dimensionless parameters characterizing the oscillatory flow and the FSI, demonstrating the validity of the proposed theory of oscillatory flows in compliant conduits at arbitrary Womersley number.

description: Tight binding electrons on a honeycomb lattice are described by an effective Dirac theory at low energies. Lowering symmetry by an alternate ionic potential ($Δ$) generates a single-particle gap in the spectrum. We employ the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) technique, to study the effect of on-site electron correlation ($U$) on massive Dirac fermions. For a fixed mass parameter $Δ$, we find that beyond a critical value $U_{c1}(Δ)$ massive Dirac fermions become massless. Further increasing $U$ beyond $U_{c2}(Δ)$, there will be another phase transition to the Mott insulating state. Therefore the competition between the single-particle gap parameter, $Δ$, and the Hubbard $U$ restores the semi-metallic nature of the parent Hamiltonian. The width of the intermediate semi-metallic regime shrinks by increasing the ionic potential. However, at small values of $Δ$, there is a wide interval of $U$ values for which the system remains semi-metal.

Ausgehend von der Feststellung, dass die internationale Markteinführung von neuen Produkten zunehmend standardisiert und zentralisiert durchgeführt wird, wurde im Rahmen einer empirischen Untersuchung die Zusammenarbeit bei internationalen Markteinführungen in der Konsumgüterindustrie aus Sicht der Tochtergesellschaften untersucht. Dabei konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Initiierung und Steuerung der Markteinführung vor allem beim globalen sowie regionalen Produktmanagement liegt. Innovationsabteilungen und Lead Countries spielen eine untergeordnete Rolle. Trotz der in der Literatur beschriebenen Schnittstellen-, Akzeptanz- und Motivationsprobleme wird die Zusammenarbeit mit den zentralen Einheiten aus Sicht des lokalen Produktmanagement als tendenziell positiv beurteilt. Verbesserungspotentiale werden in einer besseren Information des lokalen Produktmanagements und einer stärkeren Berücksichtigung der lokalen Besonderheiten gesehen.
description: Our research describes the cooperation between central organizational units and local product management in international product introductions of consumer goods. It is based on the assumption that the process of international product introductions today is highly standardized and centralized. We report the results of a survey in the consumer goods industry. These show that the international market introduction is primarily initiated and led by a regional or global product management. Innovation departments and lead countries play a minor role. From the perspective of the local product management the cooperation with the central department is evaluated overall as positive – opposite to often described interface-, acceptance- and motivation problems. But the cooperation could be improved: information transfer with the local product management should be increased and the local market differences should be taken much more into account.

description: The first order rate constants for Lenzyl chloriclc solvolys.i.s in aqueous acetone and aqueous dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) as a function of pressure (1 to 4081 atm.) at so.10°c are reported. From these data volumes of activation, ~v0, and their pressure dependences, (a~V 0/ aP)T' at atmospheric pressure are calculated. It is demonstrated that the variation of both ~VO and (a~V 0/aP)T with solvent composition in each solvent system investigated is complex, with the appearance of one or two extrema over the range of solvent composition studied. The dependence of the partial molal volume of benzyl chloride, 'f/l,, on solvent composition in aqueous acetone and aqueous DMSO has been measured. These data are combined with the volume of activation data to calculate the dependence of the partial molal volume of benzyl chloride transition state, Vl, on solvent composition. It is found that both~ and vt undergo extremum behavior as a function of solvent composition. The relative contributions of the extrema in Vb and -Vt to the behavior of 6V* are discussed. The data outlined above are combined with previously reported data for benzyl chloride solvolysis in aqueous i.-propanol 1G permitting examination of the effect of varying the hydrophilic nature of the cosolvent on the extrema in ~v0, (36V0/ aP)T, V and -Vt . It is found that the magnitudes, but not the positions, of the extrema show a large dependence on the hydrophilic nature of the cosolvent. These phenomena are rationalized, as far as possible, in terms of solvent structural and energetic factors derived from independent non-kinetic evidence. The nature of benzyl chloride transition state in aqueous DMSO is investigated using stable molecular species as 'model' compounds. From these studies it is suggested that the complex variation of yt with solvent composition arises principally from the properties of the incipient benzyl carbonium ion and not from the properties of the incipient chloride anion. It is further shown that in pure water anilinium chloride is a good charge model for benzyl chloride transition state. This is in keeping with the fact that the mechanism of benzyl chloride hydrolysis is SN2 but close to the SNl limit. In the mixed solvent systems, however, tetramethylammonium chloride is found to be a better model than anilinium chloride for benzyl chloride transition state.

description: Co3V2O8 is an orthorhombic magnet in which S=3/2 magnetic moments reside on two crystallographically inequivalent Co2+ sites, which decorate a stacked, buckled version of the two dimensional kagome lattice, the stacked kagome staircase. The magnetic interactions between the Co2+ moments in this structure lead to a complex magnetic phase diagram at low temperature, wherein it exhibits a series of five transitions below 11 K that ultimately culminate in a simple ferromagnetic ground state below T~6.2 K. Here we report magnetization measurements on single and polycrystalline samples of (Co(1-x)Mg(x))3V2O8 for x<0.23, as well as elastic and inelastic neutron scattering measurements on single crystals of magnetically dilute (Co(1-x)Mg(x))3V2O8 for x=0.029 and x=0.194, in which non-magnetic Mg2+ ions substitute for magnetic Co2+. We find that a dilution of 2.9% leads to a suppression of the ferromagnetic transition temperature by ~15% while a dilution level of 19.4% is sufficient to destroy ferromagnetic long-range order in this material down to a temperature of at least 1.5 K. The magnetic excitation spectrum is characterized by two spin-wave branches in the ordered phase for (Co(1-x)Mg(x))3V2O8 (x=0.029), similar to that of the pure x=0 material, and by broad diffuse scattering at temperatures below 10 K in (Co(1-x)Mg(x))3V2O8 (x=0.194). Such a strong dependence of the transition temperatures to long range order in the presence of quenched non-magnetic impurities is consistent with two-dimensional physics driving the transitions. We further provide a simple percolation model that semi-quantitatively explains the inability of this system to establish long-range magnetic order at the unusually-low dilution levels which we observe in our experiments.

description: The State of the Art measurement set up for ice loads measurements is as follows. On four to five frames there are strain gauges attached on each end for measurements of shearstrain differences. With the help of a finite element analysis (FEA) the load strain relation of the instrumented section can be determined. This load strain relation is displayed in the so-called influence coefficient matrix which is obtained by the unit load principle. Nevertheless after the many past measurements the following questions arise. How accurate is the mapping of the influence coefficient matrix? Which structures are suitable for measurements of shear-strain differences? How can the existing method be improved and what measurement uncertainties are inherent in the overall system? In order to achieve the goal of this work, the theory of shear-strain measurement was presented. In addition to shear-strain measurement, the theory of shear-strain measurement on ships for the determination of ice loads was explained. Besides a grillage model which consists of five frames and one plate was modeled and point loads and pressures were investigated by finite element analysis. Under the given conditions symmetrical structures with a good load alignment are suitable for measurements of shear-strain differences. Besides, the author shows how the influence coefficient matrix maps the response of the structure. The best mapping of the influence coefficient matrix could be achieved with a double instrumentation of the frames. The location of the load, the load length and the pressure distribution within the contact area were one of the biggest uncertainties. The author shows how the already existing measurement system can determine loads in the middle of the frames. In addition an approach to estimate the load length is presented as well. At the end there is a recommendation for further investigations of this kind.

description: Hernien, Ausstülpungen von Bauchfell aus der Bauchhöhle, werden heutzutage häufig mit Kunststoffnetzen verstärkt. Trotzdem gibt es eine bedeutende Anzahl von Rezidivhernien und andere Komplikationen. Die Arbeit analysiert die Ursachen der Probleme und zeigt Möglichkeiten der Netzoptimierung auf. Weil Hernienreparationen die häufigsten Operationen beim Menschen sind, hat die Problemstellung herausragende wirtschaftliche Bedeutung.
description: Hernias, protuberances of peritoneum out of the abdominal cavity, are often reinforced by polymeric meshes. None the less there are quite a few recurrences and other complications. The thesis analyses the causes of the problems and shows possibilities of mesh optimization. Because hernia repairs are the most frequently conducted surgeries, the problem is of great economical interest.

description: We consider a periodically gated two-dimensional electron system, with a central gate finger biased independently creating a tunable plasmonic cavity in a planar plasmonic crystal. We demonstrate that the plasmons resonantly excited in the periodic plasmonic lattice by incident terahertz radiation can strongly pump the cavity plasmon modes leading to a deep sub-wavelength concentration of terahertz energy with giant electric field enhancement factor up to 10000.

description: We study 5-dimensional Riemannian manifolds that admit an almost contact metric structure. We classify these structures by their intrinsic torsion and review the literature in terms of this scheme. Moreover, we determine necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of metric connections with vectorial, totally skew-symmetric or traceless cyclic torsion that are compatible with the almost contact metric structure. Finally, we examine explicit examples of almost contact metric 5-manifolds from this perspective.

Griffiths phase-like behaviour and spin-phonon coupling in double perovskite Tb$_{2}$NiMnO$_{6}$

description: The Griffiths phase-like features and the spin-phonon coupling effects observed in Tb$_2$NiMnO$_6$ are reported. The double perovskite compound crystallizes in monoclinic $P2_1/n$ space group and exhibits a magnetic phase transition at $T_c \sim$ 111 K as an abrupt change in magnetization. A negative deviation from ideal Curie-Weiss law exhibited by 1/$χ(T)$ curves and less-than-unity susceptibility exponents from the power-law analysis of inverse susceptibility are reminiscent of Griffiths phase-like features. Arrott plots derived from magnetization isotherms support the inhomogeneous nature of magnetism in this material. The observed effects originate from antiferromagnetic interactions which arise from inherent disorder in the system. Raman scattering experiments display no magnetic-order-induced phonon renormalization below $T_c$ in Tb$_2$NiMnO$_6$ which is different from the results observed in other double perovskites and is correlated to the smaller size of the rare earth. The temperature evolution of full-width-at-half-maximum for the {\it stretching} mode at 645 cm$^{-1}$ presents an anomaly which coincides with the magnetic transition temperature and signals a close connection between magnetism and lattice in this material.

An exploration of the meanings attributed to high performance sport and academics by student-athletes at a sport school in western Canada
Creators: name: Blair, Trisha Genève
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Over the last several years Canadian sport policy and programs have demonstrated an increased emphasis on the development of high performance athletes following what is being called an “athlete-centred” approach (Athletes CAN, 1994; Thibault & Babiak, 2005). This change in Canada’s National sport system toward an athlete-centered approach can be seen in the creation of organizations such as sport schools. Sport schools have been developed with the intention of providing an environment where student-athletes have the opportunity to pursue excellence in both their academic program and their athletic careers. In contradistinction to these developments, concerns continue to be raised in the literature about the potential negative effects of high performance sport involvement for youth. It is suggested that youth sport functions as a professional and Olympic sport feeder system in an emerging global sport monoculture (“prolympism”) that places far more emphasis on performance than personal development (Donnelly, 1997; Kidd & Donnelly, 2000; Ingham et al., 2002). One limitation of this literature, however, is that it generally has failed to adequately take account of athletes’ opinions and experiences. In particular, there is very little research that focuses on the ‘lived’ experiences of young Canadian elite athletes and even less on youth experiences in sport schools. The purpose of this research was to help fill this gap through a preliminary qualitative assessment of the opinions of student-athletes attending a sport school, focusing on their perceptions of how the school has affected their learning, and their personal and athletic development. The study questions are: 1) How do youth studentathletes negotiate their relationship with high performance sport and academics in a sport school setting? 2) What are the strengths and weaknesses of sport schools in facilitating this relationship? 3) What can the meanings youth student-athletes attribute to their sport and school experiences tell us about youth involvement in high performance sport and sport schools? The data for the study was collected from a sample of 10 individuals: 1 school administrator and 9 student-athletes attending grades 11 and 12 at a sport school in western Canada (WSS). The primary data collection method was semi-structured in depth interviews. In addition, observation, document analysis, and a short questionnaire provided supplementary contextual data. The analysis situates the student-athletes’ narratives in the frameworks of “prolympism” and an athlete-centred approach. Analyzing how student-athletes experience WSS has practical implications for both sport and pedagogical policy in terms of program development and evaluation measures.
