Problem posing as storyline: Collective authoring of mathematics by small groups of middle school students
Creators: name: Armstrong, Alayne Cheryl
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This dissertation investigates the problem posing patterns that emerge as small groups of students work collectively on a mathematics task, and describes the characteristics of problem posing that result. This case study is a naturalistic inquiry about four small groups of Grade 8 students in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia who are working in a classroom setting, with the researcher acting as participant/observer and videographer. The concept of author/ity is used to highlight human agency in mathematics. Small groups, as learning systems, are being considered to be “authors” of their discourse, and the improvisational nature of authoring is discussed. A parallel is drawn between the storyline of a literary work and the storyline that emerges as a group poses problems in order to work its way through a mathematical task. The metaphor of a tapestry is used as a way of describing how the threads of group discourse weave together. To address the challenge of documenting collective behavior at the group level, a method of data analysis is introduced that “blurs” the data in order to capture patterns that emerge over time – transcripts are color-coded and then shrunk to create tapestries that provide visual evidence of collective problem posing patterns. This dissertation finds that collective problem posing is an emergent process. Each group poses its own set of problems, and the number of problems posed and their frequency also vary, resulting in individual tapestries for each group. The tapestry patterns are then used to compare characteristics of the groups’ discussions. Problem posing appears to be an activity that these groups are able to do without receiving formal instruction or direction. The reposing of problems helps to structure each group’s discussion, with the role that each problem plays in the conversation evolving as it reemerges. The concept of groups working as bricoleurs is also explored, with bricolage in mathematics being characterized as a creative and generative process. The dissertation concludes with a discussion of expertise in school mathematics and what implications an “aesthetic of imperfection” might have in the mathematics classroom.

A Numerical Study of the Superconducting Proximity Effect in Topological Surface States

description: We study the superconducting proximity effect induced in the surface states of the 3-d topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$ by a singlet, s-wave superconductor deposited on its surface. To this effect, the $\mathbf{k}\cdot\mathbf{p}$-Hamiltonian of Bi$_2$Se$_3$ and the BCS-Hamiltonian are mapped onto tight-binding chains which we couple through a transfer-Hamiltonian at the interface. We then employ the Recursive Green's Function technique to obtain the local spectral function and infer the dispersion of the interface-states from it. In agreement with earlier microscopic studies of this problem, we find that the Fu-Kane model is a reasonable approximation at energies $ε\ll Δ_{\rm SC}$. However, for energies close to the SC bulk gap, the Fu-Kane model is expected to break down. Indeed, our numerical calculations show strong modifications of the interface-state dispersion for $ε\gtrsim Δ_{\rm SC} $. We find that the proximity effect can be strong enough to induce a gap in the surface state that is comparable to the superconducting gap. An analysis of the spatial profile of the states shows that their weight shifts towards the SC as the coupling strength increases. We conclude that an intermediate coupling is ideal for realising the Fu-Kane scenario.

Multi-year hydrologic response of experimental waste-rock piles in a cold climate : active-zone development, net infiltration, and fluid flow
Creators: name: Fretz, Nathan Mackenzie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: A large-scale field study was constructed at the Diavik Diamond Mines, NT, Canada, to examine the hydrologic, geochemical, microbiologic, gas-transport, and heat-transport mechanisms that influence drainage water quality from waste-rock. This thesis focuses on the hydrology component of the project, with the aim of better understanding fluid flow through mine waste-rock at multiple scales in cold climates. The hydrologic response of two large-scale, experimental waste-rock piles (test piles) and a series of smaller-scale lysimeters (active-zone lysimeters) were monitored. Both the test piles and the active-zone lysimeters were constructed on top of water collection systems in order to monitor outflows, and were instrumented with tensiometers, moisture content sensors, and thermistors. Active-zone development, net infiltration, matrix wet-up, wetting front movement, and outflow at the test piles and active-zone lysimeters are examined. Above-freezing air temperatures result in an active-zone developing inwards into the test piles during the summer months, allowing net infiltration at the thawed surface and fluid flow through thawed regions to occur. Over a five year period the average percent net infiltration into the active-zone lysimeters and crowns of the test piles was estimated to be 43%, 57%, 15%, 41%, and 58% of natural rainfall in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011, respectively. An indirect evapotranspiration computation suggests that net infiltration from rainfall events <5 mm/d is restricted to periods early (May) and late (September to mid-October) in the rain-season, while net infiltration in June, July, and August is restricted to rainfall events >5 mm/d. TDR sensors are used to monitor initial wet-up of the matrix fraction and wetting front velocities. Approximate spatial uniformity of wetting front velocities for all but the most intense rainfall events, and positive correlation between outflow rate and solute/dissolved metal concentration from effluent samples, suggest that the dominant mechanism of fluid flow at the test piles and active-zone lysimeters is porewater displacement in the matrix from propagating pressure waves, as opposed to preferential mechanisms. Over a 5 year period outflow below the batters of the test piles was significantly greater than outflow below the crowns, even after the matrix material below the crowns completely wet-up.

description: In this work we introduce the notion of weak quasigroups, that are quasigroup operations defined almost everywhere on some set. Then we prove that the topological entropy and the ergodic period of an invertible expansive ergodically supported dynamical system $(X,T)$ with the shadowing property establishes a sufficient criterion for the existence of quasigroup operations defined almost everywhere outside of universally null sets and for which $T$ is an automorphism. Furthermore, we find a decomposition of the dynamics of $T$ in terms of $T$-invariant weak topological subquasigroups.

description: The landscape of organic molecule on Si(100) surface has a great significance for organic functionalisation of Si semiconductor. Several possible adsorption configurations for pyridazine on Si(100) surface have been forecasted by systemic comparison and investigation. The C1s XPS and NEXAFS spectra of these adsorption systems based on density functional theory and full core-hole potential approximation have been calculated. Although the sensibility of XPS to these adsorption configurations is not very strong, these configurations can be absolutely distinguished by NEXAFS spectra, which will bring tremendous reference to the future experimental study. Mode II, III, V and VI have a significantly higher adsorption energy, which are most likely to be present in experiment. In addition, we have made the research on specific sources of the peaks in spectra by analysing their decomposed NEXAFS spectra, the results show that the Carbon atoms which do not bond to surface atoms, make the most contribute to the intensity of characteristic peaks in spectra.

description: Let $A \leq G$ be a subgroup of a group $G$. An $A$-complement of $G$ is a subgroup $H$ of $G$ such that $G = A H$ and $A \cap H = \{1\}$. The \emph{classifying complements problem} asks for the description and classification of all $A$-complements of $G$. We shall give the answer to this problem in three steps. Let $H$ be a given $A$-complement of $G$ and $(\triangleright, \triangleleft)$ the canonical left/right actions associated to the factorization $G = A H$. To start with, $H$ is deformed to a new $A$-complement of $G$, denoted by $H_r$, using a certain map $r: H \to A$ called a deformation map of the matched pair $(A, H, \triangleright, \triangleleft)$. Then the description of all complements is given: ${\mathbb H}$ is an $A$-complement of $G$ if and only if ${\mathbb H}$ is isomorphic to $H_{r}$, for some deformation map $r: H \to A$. Finally, the classification of complements proves that there exists a bijection between the isomorphism classes of all $A$-complements of $G$ and a cohomological object ${\mathcal D} \, (H, A \, | \,(\triangleright, \triangleleft))$. As an application we show that the theoretical formula for computing the number of isomorphism types of all groups of order $n$ arises only from the factorization $S_n = S_{n-1} C_n$.

description: In the present work, a detailed examination of extreme rainfall events (EREs) has been carried out using weather research and forecasting (WRF) model and remotely sensed observations over the Northwest Himalayan region. We performed high-resolution model simulations and studied EREs in association with fine-resolution Indian National Satellite System (INSAT-3D) observations. Remarkable variations noted in the remotely sensed outgoing longwave radiation and rainfall in association with model simulations during the formation of cloudburst events may be utilized to give an alert over the locations potentially affected by the EREs. We found that the fine-scale structure of various physical quantities during the formation of the cloudburst events endures remarkable variations in close agreement with the satellite-based observations. Results obtained in the present study show a promising pathway for the study, analysis and now-casting of extremely heavy rainfall events based on model simulations in conjunction with remotely sensed observations.

description: Accurate supersymmetric spectra are required to confront data from direct and indirect searches of supersymmetry. \SUSEFLAV is a numerical tool which is capable of computing supersymmetric spectra accurately for various supersymmetric breaking scenarios applicable even in the presence of flavor violation. The program solves MSSM RGEs with complete $3\times3$ flavor mixing at 2-loop level and one loop finite threshold corrections to all MSSM parameters by incorporating radiative electroweak symmetry breaking conditions. The program also incorporates the Type-I seesaw mechanism with three massive right handed neutrinos at user defined mass scales and mixing. It also computes branching ratios of flavor violating processes such as $l_j \rightarrow l_iγ$, $l_j \rightarrow 3 ~l_i$, $b \rightarrow sγ$ and supersymmetric contributions to flavor conserving quantities such as $(g_μ-2)$. A large choice of executables suitable for various operations of the program are provided.

description: This study aimed to develop a tool to assess resilience in children and youth in Indonesia holistically. We used the Indonesian adaptation of the Child and Youth Resilience Measure-Revised (CYRM-R). We extended it to include domains of spirituality and religiosity, which are important protective factors for young people in Indonesia. Following focus group discussions with Indonesian children and youth, 26 items were developed and tested with students aged 10–18 years (N = 5,504, 63.5% female, 98% Muslim). Exploratory factor analysis produced a two-factor 12-item model. This was then validated together with the CYRM-R using confirmatory factor analysis, which involved invariance tests with sex, age, religion, and school groups. Further analyses confirmed the convergent and incremental validity of the extended measure (correlating and predicting measures of well-being, respectively), and tests of internal consistency also found that each subscale of the extended measure had a high level of reliability. This expanded version of the CYRM-R, which now includes subscales assessing spirituality and religiosity, works well for measuring important protective factors implicated in the resilience of children and youth in Indonesia. We named this expanded measure the “CYRM-R Plus Spirituality and Religiosity”.

description: For the first time the potential energy surfaces of actinide nuclei in the $(β_{20}, β_{22}, β_{30})$ deformation space are obtained from a multi-dimensional constrained covariant density functional theory. With this newly developed theory we are able to explore the importance of the triaxial and octupole shapes simultaneously along the whole fission path. It is found that besides the octupole deformation, the triaxiality also plays an important role upon the second fission barriers. The outer barrier as well as the inner barrier are lowered by the triaxial deformation compared with axially symmetric results. This lowering effect for the reflection asymmetric outer barrier is 0.5 $\sim$ 1 MeV, accounting for $10 \sim 20%$ of the barrier height. With the inclusion of the triaxial deformation, a good agreement with the data for the outer barriers of actinide nuclei is achieved.

description: In the metacognitive model of psychological disorders, metacognitive strategies and corresponding underlying metacognitive beliefs intensify and maintain emotional distress symptoms. In the current study, our three objectives were to evaluate and replicate the network structure of dysfunctional metacognitions as assessed with the MCQ-30, to examine its stability when adding relevant covariates in the form of metacognitive strategies (worry and rumination) and symptoms (anxiety and depression), and to evaluate how different sets of dysfunctional metacognitions are more or less strongly linked differently to metacognitive strategies and symptoms. A cross-sectional university sample with a mean age of 26 years (N = 440; Males = 156, Females = 283) completed the Metacognitions Questionnaire–30, Penn State Worry Questionnaire, Ruminative Response Scale, and Hopkins Symptom Checklist. Data were analysed using psychological network analysis in R-studio statistical software. The network structure of dysfunctional metacognitions replicated well with item clusters that correspond to clinically meaningful substructures in the metacognitive model. Negative metacognitive beliefs and beliefs about uncontrollability might have more functional significance in the mutual connections between dysfunctional meta-domains as well as the connections with metacognitive strategies and symptoms. For worry and anxiety, negative beliefs about uncontrollability and corresponding danger of worry were more prominently connected in the network structure. For rumination, cognitive self-consciousness was more prominent, whereas for depression, need for control was more prominently connected. Support was found for mutual interdependence between different sets of dysfunctional metacognitive beliefs, that metacognitive beliefs are linked to but separate from metacognitive strategies, and that these may function together in affecting emotional distress symptoms

description: We examined whether borderline personality features may be differentially associated with reactions to social support strategies involving validation (acknowledging distress as normal) vs. reframing (highlighting opportunities for positive outcomes). After completing self-report measures of their borderline personality features and interpersonal problems, participants rated their reactions to receiving either validation or reframing support (randomly assigned) from a close friend with whom they imagined sharing hypothetical negative experiences. Borderline personality features were associated with less positive responses to reframing than to validation, and a tendency to interpret reframing support as an assertion of dominance. Moderated mediation analyses further showed that associations between borderline features and negative responses to reframing support were specifically explained by hostile-dominant interpersonal problems. Findings highlight the importance of validation to help individuals high in borderline features experience the emotional benefits of social support.

title: System Level Simulation of Quantum-Dot Cellular Automata Computer Circuits
Creators: name: Alharbi, M
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2025

description: Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) is an emerging transistor-less field-coupled nanocomputing (FCN) approach to ultra-scale nanochip integration, enabling molecular electronics. In QCA, electron tunnelling between quantum dots enables switching, while electrostatic repulsion drives electrons to opposite positions within the four-dot cell, thereby encoding binary configuration. Current QCA circuit designs are either irreversible or logically reversible. This thesis introduces three innovative design methods for building QCA circuits, including logically and physically reversible, partially reversible, and hybrid design methods. The core component of the logically and physically reversible design method, is an innovative reversible majority gate. This method was applied to construct combinational circuits, sequential flip-flops, and more advanced computing circuits, an arithmetic logic unit and multiplexers. Simulation results demonstrate that the logically and physically reversible design method produces functional QCA combinational, sequential, and more sophistecated circuits, with exceptional energy efficiency improvement of up to 97%. The innovative partially reversible majority gate, is the key component of the partially reversible design method. This method was used to build half-adder circuit. Simulation results of the proposed partially reversible half-adder show that the partially reversible design approach enhances speed by up to 67%, reduces circuit cost by up to 77%, compared to the reversible design method, and improves energy efficiency by up to 86% compared to conventional irreversible circuits. The hybrid design method integrates reversible, irreversible, and partially reversible majority gates, offering greater control over the level of circuit reversibility. This approach was utilized to design four distinct QCA half-adder circuits, each employing a specific combination of these three types of majority gates. Simulation results indicate that increasing circuit reversibility tends to increase cost while reducing energy dissipation. Conversely, reducing circuit reversibility can lower costs but results in higher energy dissipation. The present research endeavour has produced six publications in total: five journal articles and one conference paper.
A multi-point Metropolis scheme with generic weight functions

description: The multi-point Metropolis algorithm is an advanced MCMC technique based on drawing several correlated samples at each step and choosing one of them according to some normalized weights. We propose a variation of this technique where the weight functions are not specified, i.e., the analytic form can be chosen arbitrarily. This has the advantage of greater flexibility in the design of high-performance MCMC samplers. We prove that our method fulfills the balance condition, and provide a numerical simulation. We also give new insight into the functionality of different MCMC algorithms, and the connections between them.
The mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship between trait perfectionism and psychological resilience among Filipino university students

description: Perfectionism has been a challenge in university students’ everyday lives. As perfectionism can negatively affect students’ mental health, researchers have suggested ways to manage perfectionism and build students’ resilience towards having a better wellbeing. One way is to practice self-compassion. This study utilized mediation analyses to investigate if self-compassion mediates the relationship between the trait dimensions of perfectionism and psychological resilience among Filipino university students. A sample of 317 undergraduate students from the University of the Philippines Diliman participated and answered scales that measure the variables of interest. Results indicate that when covariates were excluded, self-oriented perfectionism (SOP) and socially prescribed perfectionism influenced psychological resilience indirectly via self-compassion, while SOP and other-oriented perfectionism (OOP) directly affected psychological resilience, independent of self-compassion. When covariates were included, the same findings were found, but OOP also influenced psychological resilience indirectly via self-compassion. Implications of the findings are discussed in this study.

description: Patients’ expectations of cancer treatment could impact on their treatment experiences. Research in this area tends to focus on a particular aspect of expectations, and no suitable measure exists to explore patients’ expectations and experiences of treatment. The current study developed and validated two new, matched, measures: The Expectations of Cancer Treatment Questionnaire (EXPECT-CTQ) and the Experiences of Cancer Treatment (EXPER-CTQ). Items were generated using the previous expectations literature, alongside findings from qualitative interviews, and refined with assistance from cancer patients and a wider pool of researchers. A sample of 200 cancer patients completed the measures, and factor analysis was performed to validate the EXPECT-CTQ, resulting in a 39-item measure with subscales assessing treatment efficacy, physical side-effects, psychological side-effects, and the impact of treatment on daily life, social life and self-care. The EXPER-CTQ was matched to the EXPECT-CTQ, excluding the treatment efficacy subscale, resulting in a 36-item measure. Reliability analyses were conducted on both measures with good results (α > 0.6). Analyses of the expectations-experiences relationship encompassing a broad range of expectations showed that expectations are positively associated with experiences of cancer treatment. These two new measures are suitable for use in future research exploring both expectations and experiences of treatment for cancer and the implications of gaps between these constructs.

description: Explicit formulae of the equations in the generalized Galileon models are given. We also develop the formulation of the reconstruction. By using the formulation, we can explicitly construct an action which reproduces an arbitrary development of the expansion of the universe. The conditions how the reconstructed solution becomes stable and therefore it becomes an attractor solution are also given. Working in the static and spherically symmetric space-time, we investigate how the Vainshtein mechanism works in the generalized Galileon model and the correction to the Newton law becomes small. It is also shown that any spherically symmetric and static geometry can be realized by properly choosing the form of the action, which may tell that the solution could have fourth hair corresponding to the scalar field.
