description: The shallow landslides assessment is a hard task in territories featuring composite influence of natural and anthropic factors. In Liguria region (northwestern Italy), the landscape presents widespread human intervention prevalently represented by terraces. The assessment of predisposing factors in such landscape deserve a multidisciplinary approach. We implemented a classification methodology based on the Analytical Hierarchy Process. In GIS environment we overlaid several layers: (i) slope, (ii) land use, (iii) lithology, and (iv) aspect. Slope and aspect have been computed on a filtered (based on TPI) high-resolution DTM with the removal of terraces, in order to obtain the pristine slope pattern. Each spatial data was then reclassified according to the weighting procedures thus producing a landslide susceptibility map. This methodology represents a starting point for the correct assessment of shallow landslides occurrence, capable to generate a map, taking in account of the peculiar features of this extremely man-made territory.
Toward decolonizing food literacy education : co-creating a curriculum at Lach Klan School with Gitxaala Nation
Creators: name: Smith, Ada Parkhurst
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Food is and has always been at the heart of what defines diduuls, or a “good life,” for Gitxaała Nation. Like First Nations across Canada, Gitxaała continues to experience the lasting effects of colonization, impeding community access to traditional territories and relationships supporting hunting, gathering, fishing, cultivation and trading of Indigenous foods. The profound dietary shift as a result of colonization has contributed to disproportionately high rates of food insecurity, diet-related health issues, and barriers to the transmission of cultural knowledge around Gitxaała foods. In response, Gitxaała Nation’s community garden program, developed out of the Remote First Nations Food Systems Project, a governmental initiative run by British Columbia’s Ministry of Agriculture from 2012-2014, is aimed at addressing these issues by providing a space for knowledge sharing, community cohesion, and serving as a local, sustainable means of producing nourishing foods outside the market. At the same time, food sovereignty has emerged as a movement and framework for Indigenous peoples in Canada that emphasizes strengthening traditional food practices, food-sharing and trading networks in order to support community health and well-being. For Indigenous peoples of Canada, food sovereignty is also about the right to feeding and teaching children about foodways rooted in community knowledge, stories, memories, and wisdoms. This thesis, founded in Indigenous theory and the principles of food sovereignty, explores how the Gitxaała community garden and the summer reading program at Lach Klan School can be leveraged to provide a platform for learning - or, ‘food literacy’ - as a pathway through which to support Indigenous knowledge traditions and contribute to achieving the tandem goals of food security, food sovereignty, and ultimately the concept of diduuls, or the ‘good life’ (relationship building to land, well-being, culture, community). By enhancing the engagement of students with their food system through hands-on learning activities that integrate local, Indigenous language and knowledge, this research suggests that food literacy activities have the potential to contribute to the goals of food sovereignty in Lach Klan by better equipping students to define, demand and make decisions that shape what their food system looks like now and into the future.

description: We semiclassically derive the leading off-diagonal correction to the spectral form factor of quantum systems with a chaotic classical counterpart. To this end we present a phase space generalization of a recent approach for uniformly hyperbolic systems (Sieber M and Richter K 2001 Phys. Scr. T 90 128, Sieber M 2002 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 35 L613). Our results coincide with corresponding random matrix predictions. Furthermore we study the transition from the Gaussian orthogonal to the Gaussian unitary ensemble.

description: Electron storage rings operating at high energies have proven to be invaluable source of synchrotron radiation. Two and even three simultaneous beams of particles have been observed at different light source facilities worldwide. So called alpha-buckets were studied at Metrological Light Source (MLS) in Berlin (Germany), SOLEIL facility in France, DIAMOND light source in UK, NSLS ring in Brookhaven (USA). It is widely recognized that alpha buckets are general phenomena which is not restricted to a certain storage ring. However, earlier measurements showed essential limitations on parameters of alpha-buckets, strong dependence on high order (sextupole and octupoles) magnetic field imperfections and associated fast decay of electron current as well as reduced life time. Also a rising relevance of high order non-linear longitudinal beam dynamics is associated with new generation of diffraction limited light sources (DLSR) approaches, which all suffer nonlinear momentum compaction factor. A large variety of future generation electron synchrotrons require a comprehensive investigation of the physical processes involved into the operation of such rings. In this paper, we present review of high order non-linear longitudinal beam dynamics based on the longitudinal equations of motion and Hamiltonian expanded to a high order of the momentum compaction factor. Roots of the third order equation with a free term are derived in a form suitable for analytical estimations. The momentum independent term of orbit lengthening due to particle transverse excursions is estimated and taken into account. The results from simulations were benchmarked against existing experiments at the Karlsruhe Research Accelerator (KARA), SOLEIL and MLS rings. Parameters of three simultaneous beams and alpha buckets at MLS and SOLEIL have been reproduced with high accuracy. General conditions for stable operation of alpha buckets are presented. Based on analytical formulas and computer simulations, studies of longitudinal motion at KARA have been performed with an objective to estimate feasibility of filling and storing of beam in α-buckets. A Computer model was used to describe the behavior and dynamics of simultaneous beams in the KARA storage ring.

description: We present an optical frequency divider based on a 200 MHz repetition rate Er:fiber mode-locked laser that, when locked to a stable optical frequency reference, generates microwave signals with absolute phase noise that is equal to or better than cryogenic microwave oscillators. At 1 Hz offset from a 10 GHz carrier, the phase noise is below -100 dBc/Hz, limited by the optical reference. For offset frequencies > 10 kHz, the phase noise is shot noise limited at -145 dBc/Hz. An analysis of the contribution of the residual noise from the Er:fiber optical frequency divider is also presented.

description: The geological map of the Tres Vírgenes Volcanic Complex (TVVC) Baja California Sur, México consists of three northeast-southwest aligned stratovolcanoes named from older to younger, El Viejo, El Azufre, and La Virgen. The map (scale 1:20,000) comprises an area of 856 km2 edited on an ArcMap data set. The map compiles previous studies combined with new mapping and stratigraphy supported by 5 new 230Th/U geochronology in zircons. The TVVC sits on top of Cretaceous granite, Cenozoic volcaniclastics, the Esperanza basalt (7.64 Ma), and the Aguajito ignimbrite (1.17 Ma). The TVVC commenced its activity around 300 ka by constructing El Viejo volcano, followed by El Azufre volcano (∼173–128 ka), la Virgen scoria cones (∼128–112 ka), and La Virgen stratovolcano (∼112–22 ka). The La Virgen volcano emplaced the La Virgen rhyolitic tephra (∼31 ka), and the Upper Andesite lavas (∼22 ka).

description: We present the observations of the starburst galaxy M82 taken with the Herschel SPIRE Fourier Transform Spectrometer. The spectrum (194-671 μm) shows a prominent CO rotational ladder from J = 4-3 to 13-12 emitted by the central region of M82. The fundamental properties of the gas are well constrained by the high J lines observed for the first time. Radiative transfer modeling of these high-S/N 12CO and 13CO lines strongly indicates a very warm molecular gas component at ~500 K and pressure of ~3x10^6 K cm^-3, in good agreement with the H_2 rotational lines measurements from Spitzer and ISO. We suggest that this warm gas is heated by dissipation of turbulence in the interstellar medium (ISM) rather than X-rays or UV flux from the straburst. This paper illustrates the promise of the SPIRE FTS for the study of the ISM of nearby galaxies.

description: The thermonuclear burn-up of highly compressed deuterated methane CD$_4$ is considered in the spherical geometry. The minimal required values of the burn-up parameter $x = ρ_0 \cdot r_f$ are determined for various temperatures $T$ and densities $ρ_0$. It is shown that thermonuclear burn-up in $CD_4$ becomes possible in practice if its initial density $ρ_0$ exceeds $\approx 5 \cdot 10^3$ $g \cdot cm^{-3}$. Burn-up in CD$_2$T$_2$ methane requires significantly ($\approx$ 100 times) lower compressions. The developed approach can be used in order to compute the critical burn-up parameters in an arbitrary deuterium containing fuel.

description: Several spin systems with low dimensionality develop a spin-dimer phase within a molecular orbital below TS, competing with long-range antiferromagnetic order. Very often, preferential orbital occupancy and ordering are the actual driving force for dimerization, as in the so-called orbitally-driven spin-Peierls compounds (MgTi2O4, CuIr2S4, La4Ru2O10, NaTiSi2O6, etc.). Through a microscopic analysis of the thermal conductivity k (T) in La4Ru2O10, we show that the orbital occupancy fluctuates rapidly above TS, resulting in an orbital-liquid state. The strong orbital-lattice coupling introduces dynamic bond-length fluctuations that scatter the phonons to produce a k (T) proportional to T (i.e. glass-like) above TS. This phonon-glass to phonon-crystal transition is shown to occur in other spin-dimer systems, like NaTiSi2O6, pointing to a general phenomenon.

description: The evolution of alluvial fans on the narrow coastal plain of the Atacama Desert in northern Chile is so far poorly investigated. Therefore, a detailed geomorphological map at a scale of 1:7500 of a coastal alluvial fan complex at Guanillos (21°58′S, 70°10.5′W) is provided as a first step to understand the fan’s morphogenesis. Geomorphological mapping was based on a digital elevation model with a resolution of 2 m generated from Pleiades-1 tri-stereo satellite imagery, derived terrain parameters, and on-site field mapping. The resultant map is used to characterize and categorize the overall morphology of the alluvial fan complex. In particular, linear features constructed by primary alluvial fan processes can be differentiated successfully from those developed by secondary processes. Furthermore, the advanced evolutionary state of the fan complex is revealed. We introduce a morphostratigraphic model comprising the fan’s prograde evolution, dissection, and successive abandonment of surface generations.

description: The landslide inventory of the Picentino basin was realized at 1:25,000, with focus on main geomorphological features affecting slope stability. It is based on different sets of air-photos (scales 1:33,000–1:18,000, dated up to 1998), and on field surveys. Among shallow landslides, channelized debris flows strongly prevail, originated as debris slides on moderately steep slopes. Further sectors are affected by deeper slope movements of greater extent. Items related to tectonics, erosion processes, and anthropized sectors are also mapped. Relevant predisposing factors to slope instability are shown in 1:100,000 thematic maps. In addition, shallow landslides of the 1998 inventory were compared to those derived from two event-based inventories (PSAI 2002, PSAI 2011, dated 1998–2005 at 1:13,000–1:10,000). Discrepancies are mainly ascribable to types of employed air-photos, age of surveys, scale of mapping, and freshness of forms, remarking the relevance of suitable shallow-landslide inventories for susceptibility evaluations.

description: Costa Rica’s Caribbean coastline is the result of a complex tectonic setting coupled with dynamic geological, climatological, hydrological and ecological processes. Despite their importance in risk prevention and in land use planning, geomorphological maps at detailed scales are scarce in Costa Rica. A geomorphology map of 210 km of the Caribbean coastline was produced at a scale of 1: 25,000 with a 1: 50,000 scale output map. Eleven landforms were mapped and described based upon their morphogenesis (i.e. tectonic, volcanic, fluvial and/or coastal). This work is an important base for coastal management, and is a compilation of the best existing knowledge of the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica.
Granzyme B disrupts cell-cell adhesion and epithelial barrier function
Creators: name: Santacruz, Maria Stephanie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: The skin is comprised of multiple layers of keratinocytes which together form a barrier to the external environment, regulating temperature, water loss, and pathogen exposure. As such the skin barrier is vital for health as well as disease prevention. Disruption of the epithelial barrier can result in infection, allergen exposure, and inflammation, culminating into severe conditions. Many autoimmune conditions, such as pemphigus, involve a dysregulation and accumulation of immune cells, this results in a disruption in skin barrier causing a loss of function. Granzyme B (GzmB) is a serine protease that is expressed and secreted by a variety of immune and non-immune cells. It can accumulate in the extracellular milieu and retain its proteolytic functions resulting in chronic inflammation and impaired tissue repair due to extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. As such, I hypothesized that GzmB disrupts epithelial barrier function through the proteolytic cleavage of cell junction proteins. The present study investigated the impact of GzmB on epithelial barrier dysfunction using Electric Cell-substrate Impedance Sensing (ECIS) and western blot analyses of intercellular junction cleavage fragments. Human formalin fixed, paraffin embedded blistered skin tissue was assessed for the presence of GzmB. GzmB treatment resulted in a loss of E-cadherin staining on the cell membrane which was supported by western blot analysis of the cell supernatants. Additionally, we observed a dose-dependent increase in E-cadherin fragmentation in GzmB-treated cells compared to controls. HaCaT cells exhibited a significant decrease in barrier function when treated with GzmB while cells treated with GzmB in the presence of a specific GzmB inhibitor remained unaffected. While absent in normal skin, GzmB was observed in abundance within the intra-epidermal blister in addition to the surrounding epithelium. In summary, GzmB contributes to a decline in epithelial barrier function in part through the proteolytic cleavage of cell-cell junctions.

description: We present the results of the recent high precision lattice calculation of the average up/down, strange and charm quark masses performed by ETMC with Nf=2 twisted mass Wilson fermions. The analysis includes data at four values of the lattice spacing and pion masses as low as ~270 MeV, allowing for accurate continuum limit and chiral extrapolation. The strange and charm masses are extracted by using several methods, based on different observables: the kaon and the eta_s meson for the strange quark and the D, D_s and eta_c mesons for the charm. The quark mass renormalization is carried out non-perturbatively using the RI-MOM method. The results for the quark masses in the MSbar scheme read: m_ud(2 GeV)= 3.6(2) MeV, m_s(2 GeV)=95(6) MeV and m_c(m_c)=1.28(4) GeV. We have also obtained the ratios m_s/m_ud=27.3(9) and m_c/m_s=12.0(3). Moreover, we provide the updated result for the bottom quark mass, m_b(m_b)=4.3(2) GeV, obtained using the method presented in 0909.3187 [hep-lat].

Solving Rubik's Cube Using SAT Solvers

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Rubik's Cube is an easily-understood puzzle, which is originally called the "magic cube". It is a well-known planning problem, which has been studied for a long time. Yet many simple properties remain unknown. This paper studies whether modern SAT solvers are applicable to this puzzle. To our best knowledge, we are the first to translate Rubik's Cube to a SAT problem. To reduce the number of variables and clauses needed for the encoding, we replace a naive approach of 6 Boolean variables to represent each color on each facelet with a new approach of 3 or 2 Boolean variables. In order to be able to solve quickly Rubik's Cube, we replace the direct encoding of 18 turns with the layer encoding of 18-subtype turns based on 6-type turns. To speed up the solving further, we encode some properties of two-phase algorithm as an additional constraint, and restrict some move sequences by adding some constraint clauses. Using only efficient encoding cannot solve this puzzle. For this reason, we improve the existing SAT solvers, and develop a new SAT solver based on PrecoSAT, though it is suited only for Rubik's Cube. The new SAT solver replaces the lookahead solving strategy with an ALO (\emph{at-least-one}) solving strategy, and decomposes the original problem into sub-problems. Each sub-problem is solved by PrecoSAT. The empirical results demonstrate both our SAT translation and new solving technique are efficient. Without the efficient SAT encoding and the new solving technique, Rubik's Cube will not be able to be solved still by any SAT solver. Using the improved SAT solver, we can find always a solution of length 20 in a reasonable time. Although our solver is slower than Kociemba's algorithm using lookup tables, but does not require a huge lookup table.

description: We present a new 1:80,000-scale geologic map of the Acoculco caldera (Ac) located between the states of Puebla and Hidalgo in eastern México. The map, encompassing an area of 856 km2, is grounded on an ArcMap data set and is supported by nine new 40Ar/39Ar dates. The caldera lies upon Cretaceous limestones and Miocene to Pliocene volcanic rocks (13–3 Ma). The caldera consists of 31 lithostatrigraphic units formed between 2.7 and 0.06 Ma that include a wide variety of volcanic landforms (cinder cones, lava domes). The caldera has a semi-circular shape (18–16 km) bounded by the Atotonilco scarp to the north, the NW–SE Manzanito fault to the west, and scattered vents to the east and southern parts. The distribution of the Acoculco ignimbrite, the lithic breccia, and lacustrine sediments define the caldera ring fault. Late Pleistocene activity and pervasive hydrothermal alteration suggest a high geothermal potential in the area.

description: Deductive verification has been successful in verifying interesting properties of real-world programs. One notable gap is the limited support for floating-point reasoning. This is unfortunate, as floating-point arithmetic is particularly unintuitive to reason about due to rounding as well as the presence of the special values infinity and `Not a Number' (NaN). In this paper, we present the first floating-point support in a deductive verification tool for the Java programming language. Our support in the KeY verifier handles arithmetic via floating-point decision procedures inside SMT solvers and transcendental functions via axiomatization. We evaluate this integration on new benchmarks, and show that this approach is powerful enough to prove the absence of floating-point special values---often a prerequisite for further reasoning about numerical computations---as well as certain functional properties for realistic benchmarks.

description: We construct an explicit K3 surface over the field of rational numbers that has geometric Picard rank one, and for which there is a transcendental Brauer-Manin obstruction to weak approximation. To do so, we exploit the relationship between polarized K3 surfaces endowed with particular kinds of Brauer classes and cubic fourfolds.

description: This chapter aims to demonstrate and understand how open government data can generate public value by allowing any actor to co-create an open government data-driven public service. The chapter takes a holistic approach to understanding open government data-driven co-creation and follows a content-context-process approach for the framework development. The framework proposes a public service co-creation cycle based around the ideas of agile and lean development that should lead to increased usage of open government data. The co-creation cycle is made up of four parts: co-initiation, co-design, co-implementation, and coevaluation. To test the propositions put forth by the framework, a multi-case study was conducted on five different pilot projects that aimed to use open government data in the co-creation of new public services. The pilots were conducted at different levels of government and across different public domains. The results of the study seem to support the propositions outlined by the framework, though it also emerged that the pilots that engaged in co-implementation had higher levels of user engagement and satisfaction with the service; this warrants future empirical research

description: This poster has been awarded with the Best Poster Award at DARIAH2020 virtual annual event https://twitter.com/dariaheu/status/1327290958971609090?s=21 In order to provide the global community of scholars working in this field with a greater understanding of the current Spanish scenario, LINHD has recently promoted a research on the evolution of Digital Humanities in Spain in the last 25 years, a timeframe comparable with Unsworth first formulation of scholarly primitives. More than 1,000 records have been mapped, distributed as follow: 577 researchers; 368 projects; 88 resources; 9 post-graduate courses; and 8 specialised journals. Digital resources (i.e. repositories of documents, collections of artefacts, crowdsourcing platforms, dictionaries, databases, etc.), which are the object of this poster, have been produced, most of the time, with the aim to publish a service to improve the basic of day-to-day research workflow in the Humanities. Our initial objectives were: to classify and describe the digital resources mapped according with the classical and new scholarly primitives, in order to highlight presences, absence and recurring associations of these categories; To visualize the relationships between scholarly primitives and other dimensions in our data, like discipline and typology. to identify how the introduction of digital tools and methods has affected the basic functions of research in the Humanities in Spain over time. Data analysed is part of a larger dataset that can be downloaded at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3893546 The whole dataset has been extensively analysed in https://doi.org/10.3145/epi.2020.nov.01
Surface Bubble Growth in Plasmonic Nanoparticle Suspension

description: Understanding the growth dynamics of the microbubbles produced by plasmonic heating can benefit a wide range of applications like microfluidics, catalysis, micro-patterning and photo-thermal energy conversion. Usually, surface plasmonic bubbles are generated on plasmonic structures pre-deposited on the surface subject to laser heating. In this work, we investigate the growth dynamics of surface microbubbles generated in plasmonic nanoparticle (NP) suspension. We observe much faster bubble growth rates compared to those in pure water with surface plasmonic structures. Our analyses show that the volumetric heating effect around the surface bubble due to the existence of NPs in the suspension is the key to explain this difference. Such volumetric heating increases the temperature around the surface bubble more efficiently compared to surface heating which enhances the expelling of dissolved gas. We also find that the bubble growth rates can be tuned in a very wide range by changing the concentration of NPs, besides laser power and dissolved gas concentration.

description: Supernova rates are directly coupled to high mass stellar birth and evolution. As such, they are one of the few direct measures of the history of cosmic stellar evolution. In this paper we describe an probabilistic technique for identifying supernovae within spectroscopic samples of galaxies. We present a study of 52 type Ia supernovae ranging in age from -14 days to +40 days extracted from a parent sample of \simeq 50,000 spectra from the SDSS DR5. We find a Supernova Rate (SNR) of 0.472^{+0.048}_{-0.039}(Systematic)^{+0.081}_{-0.071}(Statistical)SNu at a redshift of = 0.1. This value is higher than other values at low redshift at the 1σ, but is consistent at the 3σ level. The 52 supernova candidates used in this study comprise the third largest sample of supernovae used in a type Ia rate determination to date. In this paper we demonstrate the potential for the described approach for detecting supernovae in future spectroscopic surveys.

description: During Quaternary glacial periods, the Šumava / Bayerischer Wald mountains were subject to mountain glaciations. Recent studies have focussed mainly on the several well-developed cirques. However, the glacial geomorphology of the mountain range as a whole has not yet been mapped from digital data. Here we use high-resolution digital elevation models to identify over 300 erosional and 40 depositional landforms of glacial origin. Our study provides a map of glacial geomorphology for the whole mountain range across the Czech Republic, Germany, and Austria, with an up-to-date overview of previously investigated sites and newly identified glacial features in areas that have not previously been surveyed. The results of our mapping study can further be validated by field surveys and will serve as a basis for future reconstructions of palaeoglaciation in the Šumava / Bayerischer Wald mountains.

description: We present short proofs of all known topological properties of general Busemann $G$-spaces (at present no other property is known for dimensions more than four). We prove that all small metric spheres in locally $G$-homogeneous Busemann $G$-spaces are homeomorphic and strongly topologically homogeneous. This is a key result in the context of the classical Busemann conjecture concerning the characterization of topological manifolds, which asserts that every $n$-dimensional Busemann $G$-space is a topological $n$-manifold. We also prove that every Busemann $G$-space which is uniformly locally $G$-homogeneous on an orbal subset must be finite-dimensional.

Freezing the biological clock : the experience of undergoing social egg freezing for delayed childbearing
Creators: name: Isaacson, Jordanna
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Recent years have seen growing trends toward delayed childbearing and the increasing use of assisted reproductive technologies. In 2012, egg freezing was made available as an elective procedure for healthy reproductive age women to attempt to preserve their fertility. As more women delay childbearing and pursue social egg freezing, it is important to improve our understanding of this phenomenon. To date, limited research has examined the experiences of women who have undergone this procedure, and this study sought to address this gap in the literature. The research question guiding this study was: What is the meaning and experience of undergoing social egg freezing for the purpose of delaying childbearing? Through the use of a qualitative phenomenological approach, in-depth unstructured interviews were conducted with six women of reproductive age who electively underwent egg freezing in order to delay childbearing, for the purpose of learning about the meaning and experience of this phenomenon. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using van Manen’s (1990) hermeneutic phenomenological framework. Six common themes emerged from the women’s stories, including: Sense of Reducing the Pressure to Have a Child, Sense of Taking Control and Agency, Sense of Personal Empowerment and Acceptance, Sense of Feeling Fortunate, Sense of Keeping Options Open, and Openness with Others. The research findings are presented and discussed within the context of the limited existing literature on social egg freezing, with an emphasis on highlighting new areas of understanding. The implications of these findings on counselling practice are discussed and suggestions are made for future research.

description: We present a study of charge transfer in Na-intercalated FeOCl and polyaniline-intercalated FeOCl using high-resolution x-ray absorption spectroscopy and resonant x-ray emission spectroscopy at the Fe-K edge. By comparing the experimental data with ab-initio simulations, we are able to unambiguously distinguish the spectral changes which appear due to intercalation into those of electronic origin and those of structural origin. For both systems, we find that about 25% of the Fe sites are reduced to Fe2+ via charge transfer between FeOCl and the intercalate. This is about twice as large as the Fe2+ fraction reported in studies using Mossbauer spectroscopy. This discrepancy is ascribed to the fact that the charge transfer occurs on the same time scale as the Mossbauer effect itself. Our result suggests that every intercalated atom or molecule is involved in the charge-transfer process, thus making this process a prerequisite for intercalation. The Fe2+ fraction is found to increase with pressure for polyaniline-FeOCl, hinting at an enhancement of the conductivity in the FeOCl intercalation compounds under pressure.
