description: We study how the influence of the shock wave appears in neutrino oscillations and the neutrino spectrum using density profile of adiabatic explosion model of a core-collapse supernova which is calculated in an implicit Lagrangian code for general relativistic spherical hydrodynamics. We calculate expected event rates of neutrino detection at SK and SNO for various theta_{13} values and both normal and inverted hierarchies. The predicted event rates of bar{nu}_e and nu_e depend on the mixing angle theta_{13} for the inverted and normal hierarchies, respectively, and the influence of the shock appears for about 2 - 8 s when sin^2 2 theta_{13} is larger than 10^{-3}. These neutrino signals for the shock propagation is decreased by < 30 % for bar{nu}_e in inverted (SK) or by < 15 % for nu_e in normal hierarchy (SNO) compared with the case without shock. The obtained ratio of the total event for high-energy neutrinos (20 MeV < E_{nu} < 60 MeV) to low-energy neutrinos (5 MeV < E_{nu} < 20 MeV) is consistent with the previous studies in schematic semi-analytic or other hydrodynamic models of the shock propagation. The time dependence of the calculated ratio of the event rates of high-energy to low-energy neutrinos is a very useful observable which is sensitive to theta_{13} and hierarchies. Namely, time-dependent ratio shows clearer signal of the shock propagation that exhibits remarkable decrease by at most factor \sim 2 for bar{nu}_e in inverted (SK), whereas it exhibits smaller change by \sim 10 % for nu_e in normal hierarchy (SNO). Observing time-dependent high-energy to low-energy ratio of the neutrino events thus would provide a piece of very useful information to constrain theta_{13} and mass hierarchy, and eventually help understanding the propagation how the shock wave propagates inside the star.

description: We study non-relativistic limits of the N=6 Chern-Simons-Matter theory that arises as a low-energy limit of the M2-brane gauge theory with background flux. The model admits several different non-relativistic limits and we find that the maximal supersymmetry we construct has 14 components of supercharges, which is a novel example of non-relativistic superconformal algebra in (1+2) dimension. We also investigate the other limits that realize less supersymmetries.

description: The faint radio supernova remnant SNR G315.9-0.0 is notable for a long and thin trail that extends outward perpendicular from the edge of its approximately circular shell. In a search with the Parkes telescope we have found a young and energetic pulsar that is located at the tip of this collimated linear structure. PSR J1437-5959 has period P = 61 ms, characteristic age tau_c = 114 kyr, and spin-down luminosity dE/dt = 1.4e36 erg/s. It is very faint, with a flux density at 1.4 GHz of about 75 uJy. From its dispersion measure of 549 pc/cc, we infer d ~ 8 kpc. At this distance and for an age comparable to tau_c, the implied pulsar velocity in the plane of the sky is V_t = 300 km/s for a birth at the center of the SNR, although it is possible that the SNR/pulsar system is younger than tau_c and that V_t > 300 km/s. The highly collimated linear feature is evidently the pulsar wind trail left from the supersonic passage of PSR J1437-5959 through the interstellar medium surrounding SNR G315.9-0.0.

The way of Ben Jonson's dramatic world
Creators: name: Fredeman, Pat H.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis is a study of Ben Jonson's point of view. It attempts to determine that point of view by evaluating two of his critical theories, that of the humours and classical unity of action, and by examining their relationship to a selected number of his plays - The Case Is Altered, The Alchemist. Every Man in His Humour, Every Man Out Of His Humour, and Volpone. Just as his plays are a reflection of the times through his eyes, so too are these two critical theories his reflection of general ideas current in the age. The theory of humours derives from an Elizabethan concept of order in the universe and in man, and unity of action from a classical idea of unity and coherence. No attempt is made to re-examine the 'Elizabethan World Picture' or the classical world view except in so far as they relate to Jonson's particular views. Chapter I, "Historical and Philosophical Perspective”, deals with some of the main influences of Jonson's own time which appear most pertinent to his point of view. Chapter II discusses relevant, literary and critical theories, both Elizabethan and classical. Chapter III explores the imaginative connection made by Jonson between the theory of humours and unity of action; also it attempts to show how this connection enables Jonson to recreate interdependent character and action in spite of a loss to the imagination of a spiritually unified cosmos. The remaining chapters use the humour theory to examine Jonson's characters as illustrative of his point of view and considers unity of action as a guide to his developing technique. Although Jonson achieves finest technical expression in The Alchemist, it is in Volpone that one finds the fullest realization of his point of view, and for this reason Volpone is the play most closely studied.

description: The geometrical description of a Hilbert space asociated with a quantum system considers a Hermitian tensor to describe the scalar inner product of vectors which are now described by vector fields. The real part of this tensor represents a flat Riemannian metric tensor while the imaginary part represents a symplectic two-form. The immersion of classical manifolds in the complex projective space associated with the Hilbert space allows to pull-back tensor fields related to previous ones, via the immersion map. This makes available, on these selected manifolds of states, methods of usual Riemannian and symplectic geometry. Here we consider these pulled-back tensor fields when the immersed submanifold contains separable states or entangled states. Geometrical tensors are shown to encode some properties of these states. These results are not unrelated with criteria already available in the literature. We explicitly deal with some of these relations.

How to Teach Mechanical Engineering Design Using Industry Methods While Still Assessing to University Criteria
Creators: name: Sole, Martin
Publisher: name: College of Science and Engineering, University of Derby
Year: 2023
Subjects: Design, Industry, Methods, Bloom's, Teaching

description: There is a growing demand from industry for qualified design engineers. Many design engineers are trained in industry at vast expense in time and money, while many more are trained at universities and colleges. This thesis will explore how to maintain the training by universities and colleges to be as up to date and relevant as possible. It will look at the modern techniques and methods such as design teams, use of computer software, communication, use of the internet, and methods to solve design problems. All these techniques and methods are used by world-leading industries during the 21st century; this century, known also as the Third Industrial Revolution, or the Information Technology Revolution. It will show how appropriate techniques and methods can be applied in academia. A challenge is highlighted, and a solution found, how to get students to design to modern industry standards but at the same time make it possible to assess their work to satisfy the needs of academia and achieve the awarding criteria. Modern techniques and methods will be applied to university students and an assessment made of the results. Use of group working will be explored, and an algorithm developed to grade the completed work. What do students need now, to equip them to become competent designers, and how do lecturers support these students in these new methods?
A knowledge gap between full-time students and part-time students in their final year of a degree programme was identified. This gap was reduced by reviewing the curriculum from earlier years and specifically targeting improving the student’s knowledge. To reduce the gap further, the development of a new teaching theory based on reverse engineering and a reversed application of Bloom’s Taxonomy was developed. This new teaching theory was applied to engineering student in their final year of a BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering Degree.
The above methods and theories were validated by experienced industry design engineers from world leading companies.

description: When using dimensional regularization, the bare couplings are expressed as a power series in (2 - n/2)^{-1} where n is the number of dimensions. It is shown how the renormalization group can be used to sum the leading pole, next to leading pole etc. contributions to these sums in scalar electrodynamics (or any theory with multiple couplings.)

description: On the basis of a model we capture the role of strong attractive interaction in suppressing the rotational degrees of freedom of the system and volume exclusion in keeping microscopic symmetry-breaking intact to result in super-diffusive transport of small systems in a thermal atmosphere over a large time scale. Our results, characterize such systems on the basis of having a super-diffusive intermediate regime in between a very small and large time scales of diffusive regimes. Although, the Brownian ratchet model fails to account for the origin of motility in actin polymerization propelled directional motion of bacterium like Listeria Monocytogene (LM) and similar bio-mimetic systems due to the presence of strong attractive forces, our model can account for the origin of directional transport in such systems on the basis of the same interactions.

We will show that the constraints have a strong impact on the self-coupling and masses of the lightest spin-one resonances. Our analysis is applicable to any four and higher dimensional extension of the standard model reducing to models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking.

description: A syncytium model to study some electrical properties of the eye is proposed in the attempt to explain the phenomenon of anomalous Light Flashes (LF) perceived by astronauts in orbit. Recent experiments, placed on board the Russian Space Station MIR have investigated the possible causes and have attempted to explain the physical processes and their relation with Cosmic rays. We discuss a mathematical model of some electrical properties of the eye (i.e. the crystalline lens modelled as a spherical syncytium), that is a boundary value problem for a system of two coupled elliptic partial differential equations in two unknowns. We use a numerical method to compute an approximate solution of this mathematical model and we show some numerical results that provide a possible (qualitative) explanation of the observed LF phenomenon.

description: We describe the highly variable X-ray and UV emission of V458 Vul (Nova Vul 2007), observed by Swift between 1 and 422 days after outburst. Initially bright only in the UV, V458 Vul became a variable hard X-ray source due to optically thin thermal emission at kT=0.64 keV with an X-ray band unabsorbed luminosity of 2.3x10^{34} erg s^{-1} during days 71-140. The X-ray spectrum at this time requires a low Fe abundance (0.2^{+0.3}_{-0.1} solar), consistent with a Suzaku measurement around the same time. On day 315 we find a new X-ray spectral component which can be described by a blackbody with temperature of kT=23^{+9}_{-5} eV, while the previous hard X-ray component has declined by a factor of 3.8. The spectrum of this soft X-ray component resembles those typically seen in the class of supersoft sources (SSS) which suggests that the nova ejecta were starting to clear and/or that the WD photosphere is shrinking to the point at which its thermal emission reaches into the X-ray band. We find a high degree of variability in the soft component with a flare rising by an order of magnitude in count rate in 0.2 days. In the following observations on days 342.4-383.6, the soft component was not seen, only to emerge again on day 397. The hard component continued to evolve, and we found an anticorrelation between the hard X-ray emission and the UV emission, yielding a Spearman rank probability of 97%. After day 397, the hard component was still present, was variable, and continued to fade at an extremely slow rate but could not be analysed owing to pile up contamination from the bright SSS component.

An experimental study of two methods of teaching oral French
Creators: name: Brighouse, Thomas Joseph
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study is an examination of the effectiveness of a method of teaching French phonics at the junior high school level and its effect in reducing the dangers of using the printed word from the beginning of language study. Fifty-two grade IX students with no previous experience of French were taught a specially written ten week course using the mimicry-memorization method of learning sentence patterns in French. One group, the "two impression" group, studied this material with only oral-auditory stimuli, seeing only the English equivalent of the French they were expected to know. The other group, the "four impression" group, learned the same material by the oral, auditory, visual and kinesthetic stimuli since from the first lesson they saw and copied the French spelling after doing oral auditory drill. Special care was taken in drilling the latter group in the French orthographic system and in its phonetic basis. Students were expected in this way to "overlearn" the unit on French phonics in an attempt to reduce the English-type mispronunciation that could be expected. From the two groups were selected matched pairs using the following criteria for purposes of matching: first, I.Q.; secondly, the current year's grades on the June examinations in English language, Science, Mathematics and Social Studies; and lastly musical aptitude. Groups had equal number of boys and girls. Tests were administered in auditory comprehension, in oral translation from English into French, and in pronunciation of French. A comparison of the means at the end of the ten week course showed a slight difference in favour of the two impression group in auditory comprehension and in favour of the four impression group in oral translation and pronunciation. None of these differences was significant at the 5% level. The analysis of type and number of errors in the pronunciation test showed that those who saw the French had slightly more errors of pronunciation which seemed to be caused by interference from the English orthographic system. There were twice as many errors of this type in the four impression group as in the two impression group. These mistakes represented only six per cent of the total number of mistakes made. It was noted that those who had seen no French spelling still tended to mispronounce some French words in an English way. It is concluded that the overlearning of French phonics appeared to have overcome what disadvantage might be expected to accrue from the teaching of French using the written word from the beginning.

description: We present high time-resolution spectroscopy of the eclipsing cataclysmic variable SDSSJ143317.78+101123.3 obtained with QUCAM2, a high-speed/low-noise electron-multiplying CCD camera. Littlefair et al. measured the mass of the secondary star in SDSSJ143317.78+101123.3 using a light-curve fitting technique and obtained a value of M2=0.060+/-0.003 Msun, making it one of the three first bona-fide detections of a brown-dwarf mass donor in a cataclysmic variable. In this paper we present a dynamical measurement supporting this important result. We measured the radial-velocity semi-amplitude of the white dwarf from the motion of the wings of the Halpha emission line and obtained a figure of K1=34+/-4 km/s, in excellent agreement with the value of K1=35+/-2 km/s predicted by Littlefair et al.'s model.

description: We derive the dual CFT Virasoro algebras from the algebra of conserved diffeomorphism charges, for a large class of abelian Kaluza-Klein black holes. Under certain conditions, such as non-vanishing electric and magnetic monopole charges, the Kaluza-Klein black holes have a Reissner-Nordstrom space-time structure. For the non-extremal charged Kaluza-Klein black holes, we use the uplifted 6d pure gravity solutions to construct a set of Killing horizon preserving diffeomorphisms. For the (non-supersymmetric) extremal black holes, we take the NENH limit, and construct a one-parameter family of diffeomorphisms which preserve the Hamiltonian constraints at spatial infinity. In each case we evaluate the algebra of conserved diffeomorphism charges following Barnich, Brandt and Compere, who used a cohomological approach, and Silva, who employed a covariant-Lagrangian formalism. At the Killing horizon, it is only Silva's algebra which acquires a central charge extension, and which enables us to recover the Bekenstein-Hawking black hole entropy from the Cardy formula. For the NENH geometry, the extremal black hole entropy is obtained only when the free parameter of the diffeomorphism generating vector fields is chosen such that the central terms of the two algebras are in agreement.

The local matrices can be used to inspect the relevant citation environment of a journal using statistical analysis and visualization techniques from social network analysis. The inspection gives an answer to the question what the local impact of this and other journals in the environment is. In this study the citation environment of Angewandte Chemie was analysed. Angewandte Chemie is one of the prime chemistry journals in the world. Its environment was compared with that of the Journal of the American Chemical Society. The results of the environment analyses give a detailed insight into the field-embeddedness of Angewandte Chemie. The impacts of the German and international editions of this journal are compared.

description: We present the results of a study of solar wind velocity and magnetic field correlation lengths over the last 35 years. The correlation length of the magnetic field magnitude lambda(|B|) increases on average by a factor of two at solar maxima compared to solar minima. The correlation lengths of the components of the magnetic field lambda(Bxyz) and of the velocity lambda(Vyz) do not show this change and have similar values, indicating a continual turbulent correlation length of around 1.4 x 10^6 km. We conclude that a linear relation between lambda(|B|), VB^2 and Kp suggests that the former is related to the total magnetic energy in the solar wind and an estimate of the average size of geo-effective structures which is in turn proportional to VB^2. By looking at the distribution of daily correlation lengths we show that the solar minimum values of lambda(|B|) correspond to the turbulent outer scale. A tail of larger lambda(|B|) values is present at solar maximum, causing the increase in mean value.

description: Superconductivity was discovered in a Ni0:05TaS2 single crystal. A Ni0:05TaS2 single crystal was successfully grown via the NaCl/KCl flux method. The obtained lattice constant c of Ni0:05TaS2 is 1.1999 nm, which is significantly smaller than that of 2H-TaS2 (1.208 nm). Electrical resistivity and magnetization measurements reveal that the superconductivity transition temperature of Ni0:05TaS2 is enhanced from 0.8 K (2H-TaS2) to 3.9 K. The charge-density-wave transition of the matrix compound 2H-TaS2 is suppressed in Ni0:05TaS2. The success of Ni0:05TaS2 single crystal growth via a NaCl/KCl flux demonstrates that NaCl/KCl flux method will be a feasible method for single crystal growth of the layered transition metal dichalcogenides.

Year: 2019

description: The Mediterranean Spanish coastal has witnessed since the 1960s a spectacular increase in residential construction and beach tourism. This process has led to an increase in water consumption and greater risk of flooding. This is related, on the one hand, to the increase in population and housing and, on the other, to the occupation of risk areas. The aim of this research is to show and examine the importance and potential that rainwater has in the hydro-social cycle in the city of Alicante for increasing water supply for certain uses (watering gardens, street cleaning, etc.) and mitigating flooding. Databases from the local water company (Aguas Municipalizadas de Alicante Empresa Mixta SA - AMAEM) have been analysed as part of this research. Interviews have also been carried out with the technical staff of the water company to collect data and qualitative information. The analysis highlights the interest in the city of Alicante for the adoption of green infrastructure to, on the one hand, reduce the risk of flooding and, on the other, increase the available water resources. Using rainwater would enable a reduction in the use of drinking water for certain municipal water uses, and reduce pollution and flood risk during storms.

description: We derive a general expression for the Casimir energy corresponding to two flat parallel mirrors in d+1 dimensions, described by nonlocal interaction potentials. For a real scalar field, the interaction with the mirrors is implemented by a term which is a quadratic form in the field, with a nonlocal kernel. The resulting expression for the energy is a function of the parameters that define the nonlocal kernel. We show that the general expression has the correct limit in the zero width case, and also present the exact solution for a particular case.

description: To translate and validate the modified fatigue impact scale into Arabic (MFIS-A) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). A total of 116 patients with relapsing remitting MS and 59 healthy participants were recruited. Fifty patients filled the MFIS-A twice with one week difference. Reliability was assessed by measuring Cronbach’s α and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The MFIS-A was correlated with the fatigue severity scale (FSS), the vitality domain of the Short Form 36 (SF-36V), the fatigue visual analogue scale (VAS-F), and the Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II) to assess validity. Dimensionality of the MFIS-A was investigated. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was done and specificity and sensitivity were calculated. Factor analysis (based on 116 patients) revealed that the MFIS-A consists of two subscales: the physical/social and the cognitive subscales. The MFIS-A showed excellent test–retest reliability (ICC = 0.920) and internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.968). The minimal detectable change with 95% confidence interval was 14.68 (32.0%). The MFIS-A showed strong positive correlation with FSS and BDI-II, moderate positive correlation with VAS-F, negative moderate correlation with SF-36V, and weak correlation with EDSS. The MFIS-A differentiated healthy participants from patients with 79.3% sensitivity and 89.8% specificity. The MFIS-A showed good validity and reliability indicating its usefulness as an assessment measure for patients with MS.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONMFIS-A is a valid and reliable tool for fatigue evaluation for patients with relapsing remitting MS.The optimal cutoff scores of the total MFIS-A, the physical/social, and cognitive subscales which indicate fatigue are 35.5, 18.5, and 15.5, respectively.Changes of 14.68 or more points may indicate a clinically important change (a true change) in fatigue in patients with MS.

The duration of life of Drosophila melanogaster in various environments
Creators: name: Cohen, Barrie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A series of experiments were conducted to observe the effect of various environments on the duration of life of wild-type Drosophila melanogaster. Natural duration of life curves were prepared for these insects from 10.5 days of age and it was found that the average life expectancy of the males was greater than that of the females. A 10ˉ⁴ M concentration of the mutagen acridine orange in the medium markedly reduced the average life span of Drosophila males and females. The 10ˉ⁵ M concentration reduced the male life expectancy slightly but had no effect on the females. A method utilizing a separatory funnel type population container was developed to test the effect of a chemical stress on Drosophila populations. Some preliminary experiments were performed in order to evaluate the effect of 10ˉ³ M 2, 4-dinitrophenol, a metabolic inhibitor, combined with various food environments on life duration. The sexes differed in their response to these environments and the relative durations of life of the flies were compatible with a priori considerations. From the results a non-linear relationship is suggested between the time of 50% population death and the rate of death. Starvation death curves were compiled for the Drosophila after they were exposed to various conditions which were thought to be representative of the natural environment. Following exposure to various media conditions, female Drosophila under starvation conditions outlived their male counterparts. The difference between the starvation life expectancies of the females and males tended to become greater after the insects had been kept under optimum conditions, due predominantly to an increase in female life duration. Utilizing a combination of a rapid 'quantitized' heat-shock and starvation conditions it was found that only the male starvation life duration was significantly decreased compared with the unshocked starved controls. The female starvation life duration did not appear to be significantly decreased by the heat-shock. Under starvation conditions wholly female populations had a life duration similar to female populations mixed with an equal number of males. Some explanation is given for the results obtained in this thesis and recommendations for further experiments are made.
Type 2 AGNs with Double-Peaked [O III] Lines: Narrow Line Region Kinematics or Merging Supermassive Black Hole Pairs?

description: We present a sample of 167 type 2 AGNs with double-peaked [O III] 4959,5007 narrow emission lines, selected from the Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The double-peaked profiles can be well modeled by two velocity components, blueshifted and redshifted from the systemic velocity. Half of these objects have a more prominent redshifted component. In cases where the H-beta emission line is strong, it also shows two velocity components whose line-of-sight (LOS) velocity offsets are consistent with those of [O III]. The relative LOS velocity offset between the two components is typically a few hundred km/s, larger by a factor of ~ 1.5 than the line full width at half maximum of each component. The offset correlates with the host stellar velocity dispersion sigma*. The host galaxies of this sample show systematically larger sigma*, stellar masses, and concentrations, and older luminosity-weighted mean stellar ages than a regular type 2 AGN sample matched in redshift, [O III] 5007 equivalent width and luminosity; they show no significant difference in radio properties. These double-peaked features could be due to narrow-line region kinematics, or binary black holes. The statistical properties do not show strong preference for or against either scenario, and spatially resolved optical imaging, spectroscopy, radio or X-ray followup are needed to draw firm conclusions.

Exploitation of predator-prey associates
Creators: name: Dowidar, M. Sameer
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A continuous-time model, describing the interaction between a "'facultative"' predator and a prey is used to study the consequences of exploitation of either the predator, the prey or both. The model assumes a logistic growth pattern in absence of the interaction. The change in steady-state levels of the associates due to different combinations of fishing intensities are described mathematically and diagrammatically. The effect of density of predation, on the equilibrium populations associated with the yield of either, or both, the predator and the prey are studied. Yield curves were constructed for both the predator and the prey under different fishing intensities of the other associate. The model is given in a discrete-time form, of which the stochastic version is derived to show the effect of intrinsic variability. The stochastic version was simulated on the computor through the use of random normal deviates. Fair agreement between the calculated values of the variances of the steady states, and those empirically found through simulation is listed. This simple structural model reveals that in such an association, fishing the prey population alone gives a lower maximum sustained yield than can be maintained, if the predator is also fished. It is hoped that such a model, which is a preliminary but a necessary step, will lead to a more comprehensive model applicable to natural fish populations.

description: The journal structure in the China Scientific and Technical Papers and Citations Database (CSTPCD) is analysed from three perspectives: the database level, the specialty level and the institutional level (i.e., university journals versus journals issued by the Chinese Academy of Sciences). The results are compared with those for (Chinese) journals included in the Science Citation Index. The frequency of journal-journal citation relations in the CSTPCD is an order of magnitude lower than in the SCI. Chinese journals, especially high-quality journals, prefer to cite international journals rather than domestic ones. However, Chinese journals do not get an equivalent reception from their international counterparts. The international visibility of Chinese journals is low, but varies among fields of science. Journals of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have a better reception in the international scientific community than university journals.
The rotation rate of the solar radiative zone

description: The rotation rate of the solar radiative zone is an important diagnostic for angular-momentum transport in the tachocline and below. In this paper we study the contribution of viscous and magnetic stresses to the global angular-momentum balance. By considering a simple linearized toy model, we discuss the effects of field geometry and applied boundary conditions on the predicted rotation profile and rotation rate of the radiative interior. We compare these analytical predictions with fully nonlinear simulations of the dynamics of the radiative interior, as well as with observations. We discuss the implications of these results as constraints on models of the solar interior.

description: This study investigated the suitability of using waste plastics as an additive in biodiesel through assessing the performance, emissions and combustion characterises of a diesel engine. Firstly, the waste plastics were dissolved into different biodiesels. Then, the dissolved solution was mixed with standard diesel to make diesel-biodiesel-plastic blends. These plastic blends were then tested in a 4-cylinder, 4-stroke, diesel engine. These analyses indicated that waste plastics can potentially be used as fuel additives along with the diesel-biodiesel blends in diesel engines. There exists little research in this field, so the comprehensive study reported in this thesis is important and significant. The novelty of this work lies in identifying the biodegradable solvents that can properly dissolve waste plastics and demonstrate the beneficial effects of plastics in reducing harmful gas emissions and improving engine performance.

description: We use galaxy catalogues constructed by combining high-resolution N-body simulations with semi-analytic models of galaxy formation to study the properties of Long Gamma-Ray Burst (LGRB) host galaxies. We assume that LGRBs originate from the death of massive young stars and analyse how results are affected by different metallicity constraints on the progenitor stars. As expected, the host sample with no metallicity restriction on the progenitor stars provides a perfect tracer of the cosmic star formation history. When LGRBs are required to be generated by low-metallicity stars, they trace a decreasing fraction of the cosmic star formation rate at lower redshift, as a consequence of the global increase in metallicity. We study the properties of host galaxies up to high redshift (~9), finding that they typically have low-metallicity (Z<0.5 Z_sun) and that they are small (M<10^9 M_sun), bluer and younger than the average galaxy population, in agreement with observational data. They are also less clustered than typical L_* galaxies in the Universe, and their descendents are massive, red and reside in groups of galaxies with halo mass between 10^{13} M_sun to 10^{14} M_sun.
