description: Megafauna paintings have accompanied the earliest archaeological contexts across the continents, revealing a fundamental inter-relationship between early humans and megafauna during the global human expansion as unfamiliar landscapes were humanized and identities built into new territories. However, the identification of extinct megafauna from rock art is controversial. Here, we examine potential megafauna depictions in the rock art of Serranía de la Lindosa, Colombian Amazon, that includes a giant sloth, a gomphothere, a camelid, horses and three-toed ungulates with trunks. We argue that they are Ice Age rock art based on the (i) naturalistic appearance and diagnostic morphological features of the animal images, (ii) late Pleistocene archaeological dates from La Lindosa confirming the contemporaneity of humans and megafauna, (iii) recovery of ochre pigments in late Pleistocene archaeological strata, (iv) the presence of most megafauna identified in the region during the late Pleistocene as attested by archaeological and palaeontological records, and (v) widespread depiction of extinct megafauna in rock art across the Americas. Our findings contribute to the emerging picture of considerable geographical and stylistic variation of geometric and figurative rock art from early human occupations across South America. Lastly, we discuss the implications of our findings for understanding the early human history of tropical South America.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Tropical forests in the deep human past’.

description: We find explicit expressions for two first finite size corrections to the distribution of Bethe roots, the asymptotics of energy and high conserved charges in the sl(2) quantum Heisenberg spin chain of length J in the thermodynamical limit J->\infty for low energies E\sim 1/J. This limit was recently studied in the context of integrability in perturbative N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory. We applied the double scaling technique to Baxter equation, similarly to the one used for large random matrices near the edge of the eigenvalue distribution. The positions of Bethe roots are described near the edge by zeros of Airy function. Our method can be generalized to any order in 1/J. It should also work for other quantum integrable models.

description: Throughout the search process, the user's gaze on inspected SERPs and websites can reveal his or her search interests. Gaze behavior can be captured with eye tracking and described with word-eye-fixations. Word-eye-fixations contain the user's accumulated gaze fixation duration on each individual word of a web page. In this work, we analyze the role of word-eye-fixations for predicting query terms. We investigate the relationship between a range of in-session features, in particular, gaze data, with the query terms and train models for predicting query terms. We use a dataset of 50 search sessions obtained through a lab study in the social sciences domain. Using established machine learning models, we can predict query terms with comparably high accuracy, even with only little training data. Feature analysis shows that the categories Fixation, Query Relevance and Session Topic contain the most effective features for our task.

description: We present a set of self-consistent cross sections for electron transport in gaseous tetrahydrofuran (THF), that refines the set published in our previous study [J. de Urquijo et al., J. Chem. Phys. 151, 054309 (2019)] by proposing modifications to the quasielastic momentum transfer, neutral dissociation, ionisation and electron attachment cross sections. These adjustments are made through the analysis of pulsed-Townsend swarm transport coefficients, for electron transport in pure THF and in mixtures of THF with argon. To automate this analysis, we employ a neural network model that is trained to solve this inverse swarm problem for realistic cross sections from the LXCat project. The accuracy, completeness and self-consistency of the proposed refined THF cross section set is assessed by comparing the analysed swarm transport coefficient measurements to those simulated via the numerical solution of Boltzmann's equation.

description: Weak-lensing distortions of the cosmic-microwave-background (CMB) temperature and polarization patterns can reveal important clues to the intervening large-scale structure. The effect of lensing is to deflect the primary temperature and polarization signal to slightly different locations on the sky. Deflections due to density fluctuations, gradient-type for the gradient of the projected gravitational potential, give a direct measure of the mass distribution. Curl-type deflections can be induced by, for example, a primordial background of gravitational waves from inflation or by second-order effects related to lensing by density perturbations. Whereas gradient-type deflections are expected to dominate, we show that curl-type deflections can provide a useful test of systematics and serve to indicate the presence of confusing secondary and foreground non-Gaussian signals.

description: We investigate the emission-line properties of galaxies with red rest-frame colors using spectra from SDSS DR4. Emission lines are detected in more than half of the red galaxies. We focus on the relationship between two emission lines commonly used as star formation rate indicators: Ha 6563 and [OII] 3727. There is a strong bimodality in [OII]/Ha ratio in the full SDSS sample which closely corresponds to the bimodality in rest-frame color. Nearly all of the line-emitting red galaxies have line ratios typical of various types of AGN -- most commonly LINERs, a small fraction of transition objects and, more rarely, Seyferts. Only ~6% of red galaxies display star-forming line ratios. A straight line in the [OII]-Ha equivalent width plane separates LINER-like galaxies from other categories. Quiescent galaxies with no detectable emission lines and LINER-like galaxies combine to form a single, tight red sequence in color-magnitude-concentration space. [OII] EWs in LINER- and AGN-like galaxies can be as large as in star-forming galaxies. Thus, unless objects with AGN/LINER-like line ratios are excluded, [OII] emission cannot be used directly as a proxy for star formation rate. Lack of [OII] emission is generally used to indicate lack of star formation when post-starburst galaxies are selected at high redshift. Our results imply, however, that these samples have been cut on AGN properties as well as star formation, and therefore may provide seriously incomplete sets of post-starburst galaxies. Furthermore, post-starburst galaxies identifed in SDSS by requiring minimal Ha EW generally exhibit weak but nonzero line emission with ratios typical of AGNs; few of them show residual star formation. This suggests that most post-starbursts may harbor AGNs/LINERs.

description: The U.S./Mexico Water Dispute: Impacts of Increased Irrigation in Chihuahua, Mexico. C. Parr Rosson, III, Texas A&M University, Aaron Hobbs, Texas A&M University, and Flynn Adcock, Texas A&M University. Mexico accumulated a water debt of 1.5 million acre feet to the United States while increasing its use of irrigation water by fourteen percent in Chihuahua. This paper documents recent trends in irrigated production of major crops grown in Chihuahua, estimates irrigation water use in Chihuahua, and offers policy alternatives. Irrigated crop production in Chihuahua increased 236 percent since 1980, from 1.0 million metric tons (mmt) to 3.5 mmt in 2001. Irrigated harvested area increased 44 percent over the same period from 554,613 acres to 797,627 acres while estimated irrigation water use increased from 2.0 maf to 3.5 maf. Key words: U.S.-Mexico water dispute, irrigation water use, 1944 U.S.-Mexico Water Treaty, NAFTA, Chihuahua crop production, estimated irrigation requirements

The utilization of Caenorhabditis briggsae as a host model to study bacterial pathogenesis
Creators: name: Price, Nancy Lee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Caenorhabditis elegans has now been established as a host model for studies of infectivity by bacterial pathogens including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium, Burkholderia pseudomallei, and Enterococcus faecalis. However, virulence determinants of bacterial pathogens are regulated by temperature and environmental conditions, thereby limiting the use of C. elegans which cannot survive in temperatures higher than 25°C. This study shows that the related species, C. briggsae survives better than C. elegans on bacterial culture media at higher temperatures and describes the effects on C. briggsae of mammalian enteric pathogens, primarily Yersinia enterocolitica. C. briggsae grown on Y. enterocolitica accumulated bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract of the worm, resulting in decreased life-span and progeny fitness in a depleted-calcium environment. The mechanisms of the interaction are as yet unknown as both virulent and avirulent strains of Y. enterocolitica displayed the similar results. Investigations were undertaken to examine whether the shortened life span could be attributed to starvation, toxicity, or possible infection. Starvation effects was determined not to be the sole cause of premature worm death as C. briggsae grown on Y. enterocolitica survived several days longer than starved worms. A bacterial mixing experiment using both Y. enterocolitica and E. coli OP50 shortened the worm life span compared to feeding on Y. enterocolitica alone, suggesting a possible toxic effect. However worms feeding on Y. enterocolitica and later shifted to E. coli OP50 resulted in reversion of the survival curve to that of worms feeding on E. coli OP50 alone, indicating that the detrimental effect of Y. enterocolitica was reversible. Fluorescent labeling of bacterial strains with a lacZ-GFP reporter gene demonstrated that Y. enterocolitica, but not E. coli OP50, is retained in the gut, a result which is compatible with a molecular interaction between Y. enterocolitica and nematode cellular components. These findings suggest that Y. enterocolitica may cause an infection within the nematode gastrointestinal tract and provide an assay for genetic dissection of the molecular basis of pathogenesis.

description: A statistical study of intermediate Palomar Transient Factory supernovae (SNe) in Type 1 AGN has shown a major deficit of supernovae around Type 1 AGN host galaxies, with respect to Type 2 AGN hosts. The aim of this work is to test whether there is any preference for Type 1 AGN to host SN of a specific kind. Through the analysis of SN occurrence and their type (thermonuclear vs core-collapse), we can directly link the type of stars producing the SN events, thus this is an indirect way to study host galaxies in Type 1 AGN. We examine the detection fractions of SNe, the host galaxies and compare the sample properties to typical host galaxies in the Open Supernova Catalog (OSC; Guillochon et al. 2017). The majority of the host galaxies in the AGN sample are late-type, similar to typical galaxies hosting SN within the OSC. The findings are supportive of a deficiency of SNe near Type 1 AGN, although we cannot with certainty assess the overall detection fractions of SNe in Type 1 AGN relative to other SN host galaxies. We can state that Type 1 AGN has equal detection fractions of thermonuclear vs core-collapse SNe. However, we note the possibility of a higher detection rate of core-collapse supernovae in Type-1 AGN with insecure AGN classifications.

description: The dairy price support program has existed for more than 70 years and the 2002 Farm Bill extends the dairy price support program through the end of 2007. The choice of the support price is a political decision and affects the economics of the U.S. dairy industry. In this research, economic, political, domestic, and international variables that may influence U.S. policymakers' choice of the support price for manufactured dairy products (MDP--butter, cheese and nonfat dry milk) were identified through the development of two models--a behavioral model and a criterion function model. Empirical results of these two models ranked the importance of these variables and compared results.

description: This paper uses a two-product partial equilibrium model with demand- and supply-side substitution effects to identify supply and demand conditions under which eco-labeling would be most and least effective. The results suggest that eco-labeling is most effective at reducing environmentally harmful production when it leads to a decrease in demand for unlabeled products and producers respond to non-price incentives in adopting the certified methods. The analysis demonstrates that consumer willingness-to-pay a premium and the potential demand for an eco-labeled product do not provide the best indication of an eco-labeling program's effectiveness at reducing adverse environmental impacts.

description: This paper presents the forward backward time stepping (FBTS) technique with finite difference time domain (FDTD) method and overset grid generation (OGG) method was applied for the reconstruction of object and crack detection. Object and crack detection is widely used in structural health monitoring (SHM) application especially in civil structure to detect the buried object and also cracks. The proposed numerical approach has been validated by investigating different kind of ratio of grid size between the main mesh and sub-mesh. Then, the proposed numerical approach is implemented in the analysis of the detection of objects such as concrete blocks and cracks underground. Here, the numerical errors between the actual result and simulated result had been calculated by using relative error. It is shown that the proposed approach has 5.22% error and nearer to the actual value.

description: Trade in ivory is banned under CITES in an effort to protect the African elephant. The trade ban is supported by some range states, most notably Kenya, because they see the ban as an effective means for protecting a ‘flagship’ species, one that attracts tourists and foreign aid. It is opposed by some states, mainly in southern Africa, because their elephant populations are exceeding the capacity of local ecosystems with culling and other sources have resulted in the accumulation of large stocks of ivory. They argue that ivory trade will benefit elephant populations. The question of whether an ivory trade ban will protect elephant populations is addressed in this paper using a dynamic partial-equilibrium model that consists of four ivory exporting regions and a single demand region. Results indicate that a trade ban might not be successful in maintaining elephant populations, even if it leads to a stigma effect that reduces demand and increases the marginal costs of marketing ivory. The modeling results suggest that the species will survive only if the non-market value of elephants is taken into account. If rich countries compensate African range states according to marginal willingness to pay for elephants, optimal populations are lower than under an average payment, and, perhaps surprisingly, the interaction between tourism benefits and marginal compensation can lead to the demise of elephants in some regions where this would not occur otherwise. Finally, elephant populations are even projected to crash if range states can operate an effective quota scheme, even one that excludes poaching. Free trade in ivory and effective institutions that translate numbers of elephants into monetary payments may be the best hope for the elephant.

description: In this paper, an in-depth analysis of power supply and demand on Vancouver Island is used to provide information about the optimal allocation of power across ‘generating’ sources and to investigate the economics of wind generation and penetrability into the Island grid. The methodology developed can be extended to a region much larger than Vancouver Island. Results from the model indicate that Vancouver Island could experience blackouts in the near future unless greater name-plate capacity is developed. While wind-generated energy has the ability to contribute to the Island’s power needs, the problem with wind power is its intermittency. The results indicate that wind power may not be able to prevent shortfalls, regardless of the overall name-plate capacity of the wind turbines. Further, costs of reducing CO2 emissions using wind power are unacceptably large, perhaps more than $100 per t CO2, although this might be attributable to the mix of power sources making up the Island’s grid.
Gravitational Burst Radiation from Pulsars in the Galactic centre and stellar clusters

description: Pulsars (PSRs) orbiting intermediate or supermassive black holes at the centre of galaxies and globular clusters are known as Extreme Mass Ratio Binaries (EMRBs) and have been identified as precision probes of strong-field GR. For appropriate orbital parameters, some of these systems may also emit gravitational radiation in a `burst-like' pattern. The observation of this burst radiation in conjunction with the electromagnetic radio timing signal would allow for multimessenger astronomy in strong-field gravitational regimes. In this work we investigate gravitational radiation from these PSR-EMRBs, calculating the waveforms and SNRs and explore the influence of this GW on the pulsar radio signal. We find that for typical PSR-EMRBs, gravitational burst radiation should be detectable from both the Galactic centre and the centre of stellar clusters, and that this radiation will not meaningfully affect the pulsar timing signal, allowing PSR-EMRB to remain `clean' test-beds of strong-field GR.

description: We use a novel technique to simulate the growth of the most massive progenitor of a protocluster region from redshift z~80, when its mass was about 10 Msun until the present day. Our nested sequence of N-body resimulations allows us to study in detail the structure both of the dark matter object itself and of its environment. Our effective resolution is optimal at redshifts of 49, 29, 12, 5 and 0 when the dominant object has mass 1.2e5, 5e7, 2e10, 3e12 and 8e14 Msun/hrespectively, and contains ~1e6 simulation particles within its virial radius. Extended Press-Schechter theory correctly predicts both this rapid growth and the substantial overabundance of massive haloes we find at early times in regions surrounding the dominant object. Although the large-scale structure in these regions differs dramatically from a scaled version of its present-day counterpart, the internal structure of the dominant object is remarkably similar. Molecular hydrogen cooling could start as early as z~49 in this object, while cooling by atomic hydrogen becomes effective at z~39. If the first stars formed in haloes with virial temperature ~2000, their comoving abundance by z=49 would be similar to that of dwarf galaxies today, while their comoving correlation length would be ~2.5Mpc/h.

Does it count? : female child protection workers’ experiences of workplace violence
Creators: name: Redman, Trina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This feminist qualitative study explored and described three female child protection workers' experiences of workplace violence. The phenomenon of workplace violence in the child protection field was set in the context of women's labour herstory in Canada, a review of current research on violence against women and violence in the social services field. The women in the study were recruited through snowball sampling. Interviews were audio taped and transcribed by the researcher. The data was analyzed using narrative analysis methods described by Mishler (1986) and Lieblich, Tuval-Mashiac & Zilber (1998). The women's narratives indicated they experienced violence as a traumatic event and their responses to violence were an expression of power/powerlessness within the child protection system. Themes that emerged from the narratives were: impact/consequences of the violence, ways of creating safety, power/powerlessness and differences in response to workers experiencing violence by the provincial and First Nation's child protection agencies in British Columbia. Implications for child protection social work education/training, practice and management are discussed, as are recommendations for further research on the topic.

description: We demonstrate theoretically that spin dynamics of electrons injected into a GaAs semiconductor structure through a Schottky barrier possesses strong non-equilibrium features. Electrons injected are redistributed quickly among several valleys. Spin relaxation driven by the spin-orbital coupling in the semiconductor is very rapid. At T = 4.2 K, injected spin polarization decays on a distance of the order of 50 - 100 nm from the interface. This spin penetration depth reduces approximately by half at room temperature. The spin scattering length is different for different valleys.

description: Planning electricity supply is important because power demand continues to increase while there is a concomitant desire to increase reliance on renewable sources. Extant research pays particular attention to highly variable, low-carbon energy sources such as wind and small-scale hydroelectric power. Models generally employ only a simple load levelling technique, ensuring that generation meets demand in every period. The current research considers the power transmission system as well as load levelling. A network model is developed to simulate the integration of highly variable non-dispatchable power into an electrical grid that relies on traditional generation sources, while remaining within the network’s operating constraints. The model minimizes a quadratic cost function over two periods of 336 hours, with periods representing low (summer) and high (winter) demand, subject to various linear constraints. The model is numerically solved using Matlab and GAMS software environments. Results indicate that, even for a grid heavily dependent on hydroelectricity, the addition of wind power can create difficulties, with system costs increasing with wind penetration, sometimes significantly.

description: This paper has three main objectives: (1) to investigate whether the four-quadrant approach introduced by Maini (2003) reveals a useful typology for grouping countries by GDP and forest cover per capita, (2) to determine if the framework can enhance our understanding of the relationship between forest cover and GDP per capita, and (3) to investigate why countries in the four-quadrant world occupy different quadrants, and to determine the principal factors affecting country-movement across and within the individual quadrants. The examination reveals that countries can be classified into four broad categories, and that GDP and forest cover per capita have a low but consistent level of negative association. After regressing economic, institutional, social capital and other variables on a country’s occupancy and movement in the four-quadrant world, the results suggest that countries in each quadrant share different characteristics and that factors underlying country-movement varies according to the quadrant being observed. Overall, countries with less corruption and higher education are likely to experience increases in both forest cover and GDP per capita, while countries exporting a significant proportion of forest products have a reduced probability of increasing both variables.

description: Carbon terrestrial sinks are seen as a low-cost alternative to fuel switching and reduced fossil fuel use for lowering atmospheric CO2. In this study, we review issues related to the use of terrestrial forestry activities to create CO2 offset credits. To gain a deeper understanding of the confusing empirical studies of forest projects to create carbon credits under Kyoto, we employ meta-regression analysis to analyze conditions under which forest activities generate CO2-emission reduction offsets at competitive ‘prices’. In particular, we examine 68 studies of the costs of creating carbon offsets using forestry. Baseline estimates of costs of sequestering carbon are some US$3–$280 per tCO2, indicating that the costs of creating CO2-emission offset credits through forestry activities vary wildly. Intensive plantations in the tropics could potentially yield positive benefits to society, but in Europe similar projects could cost as much as $195/tCO2. Indeed, Europe is the highest cost region, with costs in the range of $50-$280 per tCO2. This might explain why Europe has generally opposed biological sinks as a substitute for emissions reductions, while countries rush to finance forestry sector CDM projects. In Canada and the U.S., carbon sequestration costs range from a low of about $2 to nearly $80 per tCO2. One conclusion is obvious: some forestry projects to sequester carbon are worthwhile undertaking, but certainly not all.

description: A new representation of the 2N fold integrals appearing in various two-matrix models that admit reductions to integrals over their eigenvalues is given in terms of vacuum state expectation values of operator products formed from two-component free fermions. This is used to derive the perturbation series for these integrals under deformations induced by exponential weight factors in the measure, expressed as double and quadruple Schur function expansions, generalizing results obtained earlier for certain two-matrix models. Links with the coupled two-component KP hierarchy and the two-component Toda lattice hierarchy are also derived.

description: The Steiner distance of vertices in a set $S$ is the minimum size of a connected subgraph that contain these vertices. The sum of the Steiner distances over all sets $S$ of cardinality $k$ is called the Steiner $k$-Wiener index and studied as the natural generalization of the famous Wiener index in chemical graph theory. In this paper we study the extremal structures, among trees with a given segment sequence, that maximize or minimize the Steiner $k$-Wiener index. The same extremal problems are also considered for trees with a given number of segments.

description: This paper presents the forward backward time stepping (FBTS) technique with finite difference time domain (FDTD) method and overset grid generation (OGG) method was applied for the reconstruction of object and crack detection. Object and crack detection is widely used in structural health monitoring (SHM) application especially in civil structure to detect the buried object and also cracks. The proposed numerical approach has been validated by investigating different kind of ratio of grid size between the main mesh and sub-mesh. Then, the proposed numerical approach is implemented in the analysis of the detection of objects such as concrete blocks and cracks underground. Here, the numerical errors between the actual result and simulated result had been calculated by using relative error. It is shown that the proposed approach has 5.22% error and nearer to the actual value.

description: The following lectures are an introduction to the phenomena of partonic saturation and nonlinear evolution equations in Quantum Chromodynamics. After a short introduction to the linear evolution, the problems of unitarity bound and parton saturation are discussed. The nonlinear Balitsky-Kovchegov evolution equation in the high energy limit is introduced, and the progress towards the understanding of the properties of its solution is reviewed. We discuss the concepts of the saturation scale, geometrical scaling and the lack of the infrared diffusion. Finally, we give a brief summary of current theoretical developments which extend beyond the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation.

description: The main focus of efforts to mitigate climate change is on the avoidance of fossil fuel emissions. However, the Kyoto rules permit the use of forestry activities that create carbon offset credits. These could obviate the need for lifestyle-changing reductions in fossil fuel use. It is necessary for policy purposes, therefore, to determine the cost effectiveness of creating forest sink carbon credits. In this study, meta-regression analyses with 1047 observations from 68 studies are used to determine factors that affect carbon sequestration costs. Results indicate that soil carbon is not very important, but that forest plantations and use of biomass for energy make forestry activities more attractive. It also turns out that forestry activities are competitive with emissions reduction in tropical regions and, perhaps, boreal regions, but certainly not in Europe. Finally, the regression estimates are used to project the potential costs of carbon uptake for various forest management scenarios.
