Evaluating the impacts of current and alternative harvest strategies on salmon populations and fishing fleets using the Skeena River as a case study
Creators: name: Hawkshaw, Michael Andrew
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Salmon fishery management is complicated, and involves a balancing act between the divergent objectives of stakeholders, requiring decisions with uncertain information while pressured by time constraints. Unfortunately, the trade-offs between objectives are not always quantitatively evaluated, which means conflicts arising when conservation or harvest objectives are not met cannot be quantitatively balanced. This thesis addresses several major challenges faced by salmon fisheries managers, including: balancing catch and escapement of multiple stocks in mixed stock fisheries; estimating run timing; and modeling in-season management processes. Five new models were developed to explore these challenges, using the five species of Pacific salmon and steelhead returning to the Skeena River, as well as their fisheries and management system, as a case study. First, a new harvest control rule (HCR) was developed using dynamic programming. Second, an improved run reconstruction method was developed to estimate run timing and catchability in the fisheries of the Skeena River. Third, a new application of linear programming was used to optimize harvest within the fishing season, and as a fisheries planning model. Fourth, a Bayesian state-space model was developed to produce an improved in-season run size estimation model. Finally, these models and outputs were combined into a closed loop simulation to test the outcomes of different HCRs. The results and models developed in this thesis allow managers to evaluate the likely outcomes of different HCRs, improving their ability to make quantitative trade-offs between different objectives. The tools developed in this thesis can be directly applied to the Skeena River management system, either piecemeal to improve particular elements of the system or integrated into the existing management process to provide the basis of a management strategy evaluation. More importantly, the tools and lessons learned can be generalized and applied to other salmon and non-salmon fisheries.

description: The Distributed object computing is a paradigm that allows objects to be distributed across a heterogeneous network, and allows each of the components to interoperate as a unified whole. A new generation of distributed applications, such as telemedicine and e-commerce applications, are being deployed in heterogeneous and ubiquitous computing environments. The objective of this paper is to explore an applicability of a component based services in ubiquitous computational environment. While the fundamental structure of various distributed object components is similar, there are differences that can profoundly impact an application developer or the administrator of a distributed simulation exercise and to implement in Ubiquitous Computing Environment.

description: We present sensitive and high angular resolution CO(1-0) data obtained by the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy (CARMA) observations toward the nearby grand-design spiral galaxy M 51. The angular resolution of 0.7" corresponds to 30 pc, which is similar to the typical size of Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs), and the sensitivity is also high enough to detect typical GMCs. Within the 1' field of view centered on a spiral arm, a number of GMC-scale structures are detected as clumps. However, only a few clumps are found to be associated with each Giant Molecular Association (GMA), and more than 90% of the total flux is resolved out in our data. Considering the high sensitivity and resolution of our data, these results indicate that GMAs are not mere confusion of GMCs but plausibly smooth structures. In addition, we have found that the most massive clumps are located downstream of the spiral arm, which suggests that they are at a later stage of molecular cloud evolution across the arm and plausibly are cores of GMAs. By comparing with H-alpha and Pa-alpha images, most of these cores are found to have nearby star forming regions. We thus propose an evolutionary scenario for the interstellar medium, in which smaller molecular clouds collide to form smooth GMAs at spiral arm regions and then star formation is triggered in the GMA cores. Our new CO data have revealed the internal structure of GMAs at GMC scales, finding the most massive substructures on the downstream side of the arm in close association with the brightest H II regions.

description: Cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of primordial star formation suggest that the gas within the first star-forming halos is turbulent. This has strong implications on the subsequent evolution, in particular on the generation of magnetic fields. Using high-resolution numerical simulations, we show that in the presence of turbulence, weak seed magnetic fields are exponentially amplified by the small-scale dynamo during the formation of the first stars. We conclude that strong magnetic fields are generated during the birth of the first stars in the universe, potentially modifying the mass distribution of these stars and influencing the subsequent cosmic evolution. We find that the presence of the small-scale turbulent dynamo can only be identified in numerical simulations in which the turbulent motions in the central core are resolved with at least 32 grid cells.

description: Fluorescent imaging in the second near infrared window (NIR II, 1-1.4 μm) holds much promise due to minimal autofluorescence and tissue scattering. Here, using well functionalized biocompatible single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) as NIR II fluorescent imaging agents, we performed high frame rate video imaging of mice during intravenous injection of SWNTs and investigated the path of SWNTs through the mouse anatomy. We observed in real-time SWNT circulation through the lungs and kidneys several seconds post-injection, and spleen and liver at slightly later time points. Dynamic contrast enhanced imaging through principal component analysis (PCA) was performed and found to greatly increase the anatomical resolution of organs as a function of time post-injection. Importantly, PCA was able to discriminate organs such as the pancreas which could not be resolved from real-time raw images. Tissue phantom studies were performed to compare imaging in the NIR II region to the traditional NIR I biological transparency window (700- 900 nm). Examination of the feature sizes of a common NIR I dye (indocyanine green, ICG) showed a more rapid loss of feature contrast and integrity with increasing feature depth as compared to SWNTs in the NIR II region. The effects of increased scattering in the NIR I versus NIR II region were confirmed by Monte Carlo simulation. In vivo fluorescence imaging in the NIR II region combined with PCA analysis may represent a powerful approach to high resolution optical imaging through deep tissues, useful for a wide range of applications from biomedical research to disease diagnostics.

description: The spectral properties from radio to optical bands are compared between the 18 optically bright Gamma-ray burst afterglows and well established power-spectrum sequence in Blazars. The comparison shows that the afterglows are well agreement with the well known Blazar sequence (i.e., the $νL_ν(\mathrm{5GHz})$-$α_{\mathrm{RO}}$ correlation, where $α_{\mathrm{RO}}$ is the broad-band spectral slope from radio to optical bands). The afterglows are, however, clustered at the low luminosity end of the sequence, which is typically occupied by high frequency-peaked BL Lac objects. The correlation suggests that Gamma-ray burst afterglows share the similar emission process with high frequency-peaked BL Lac objects. We further identify a deviation at a significance level larger than 2$σ$ from the sequence for three typical optically "dark" bursts. The deviation favors a heavy extinction in optical bands for the "dark" bursts. The extinction $A_V$ is estimated to be larger than 0.5-0.6 magnitude from the $νL_ν(\mathrm{5GHz})$-$α_{\mathrm{RO}}$ sequence.

description: In this paper the focus is set on a modified Chua's circuit model equation with saw-tooth function in place of piece-wise linear function of Chua's circuit displaying multi-scroll chaotic attractors. We study the characteristic properties of first passage times ($t_\mathrm{FPT}$s) to $n$th scroll chaotic attractor, residence times ($t_\mathrm{RT}$s) on a scroll attractor and returned times ($t_\mathrm{RET}$s) to the middle-scroll attractor. $t_\mathrm{FPT}$s exhibit a series of Gaussian-like distribution followed by a long tail continuous distribution. $t_\mathrm{RT}$s and $t_\mathrm{RET}$s show completely discrete distribution. Power-law variation of mean values of $t_\mathrm{FPT}$s, $t_\mathrm{RT}$s and $t_\mathrm{RET}$s with a control parameter is found. On the other hand, mean values of $t_\mathrm{FPT}$s and $t_\mathrm{RET}$s have linear dependence with the number of the scroll attractors for fixed values of the control parameter. For the system with infinite scroll chaotic attractors normal diffusive motion occurs. In the normal diffusion process the mean square displacement grows linearly with time.

description: We study operators acting on a tensor product Hilbert space and investigate their product numerical range, product numerical radius and separable numerical range. Concrete bounds for the product numerical range for Hermitian operators are derived. Product numerical range of a non-Hermitian operator forms a subset of the standard numerical range containing the barycenter of the spectrum. While the latter set is convex, the product range needs not to be convex nor simply connected. The product numerical range of a tensor product is equal to the Minkowski product of numerical ranges of individual factors.

Associations between maternal executive functions and parenting behavior : are they moderated by parental childrearing attitudes?
Creators: name: Colalillo, Sara
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Increasing evidence suggests that mothers’ executive functioning abilities promote self-regulation of their parenting behaviors; however, inconsistencies across findings suggest that other variables may also play a role in these associations. This dissertation sought to clarify links between maternal executive functions (working memory [WM] and inhibitory control [IC]), and parenting behavior (overreactive and positive), and to examine whether attitudes about childrearing moderated these associations. Two-hundred and seven mothers of 3-7 year-old children participated in an online study, and completed task-based and self-report measures of WM and IC, and self-report measures of parenting and childrearing attitudes, as well as potential control variables including personality characteristics, household chaos, and child behavior problems. At the bivariate level, the WM task was correlated with positive parenting, and self-reported executive functioning difficulties were correlated with both overreactive and positive parenting, in the expected directions. However, these associations were not maintained in partial correlations including relevant covariates. Next, the hypothesized moderation of the relation between executive functioning and parenting by childrearing attitudes was tested in six regression models. Progressive childrearing attitudes negatively predicted overreactive parenting. However, WM and IC were not significant predictors, nor did they interact with childrearing attitudes to predict overreactive parenting. Regarding positive parenting, WM, childrearing attitudes, and their interaction were not significant predictors. However, there was an interaction between IC and attitudes in predicting positive parenting. At low levels of progressive attitudes, IC positively predicted positive parenting; however, at high levels of progressive attitudes, IC negatively predicted positive parenting. A similar pattern of findings was obtained using the self-report measure of executive functioning. These results suggest that, when mothers hold childrearing attitudes that place importance on child independence, better IC and fewer executive functioning problems allow them to inhibit the use of particular positive parenting practices, in favor of an approach that allows greater child autonomy. I discuss discrepancies between findings from this study and past research, highlighting the need to carefully consider the manner in which executive functions and parenting are measured. I conclude with directions for future research and comment on the implications of these results for clinical work with parents.

description: Traditional artificial-star tests are widely applied to photometry in crowded stellar fields. However, to obtain reliable binary fractions (and their uncertainties) of remote, dense, and rich star clusters, one needs to recover huge numbers of artificial stars. Hence, this will consume much computation time for data reduction of the images to which the artificial stars must be added. In this paper, we present a new method applicable to data sets characterized by stable, well-defined point-spread functions, in which we add artificial stars to the retrieved-data catalog instead of the raw images. Taking the young Large Magellanic Cloud cluster NGC 1818 as an example, we compare results from both methods and show that they are equivalent, while our new method saves significant computational time.

description: Neuroendocrine neoplasms are known to have heterogeneous biological behavior. G3 neuroendocrine tumours (NET G3) are characterized by well-differentiated morphology and Ki67 > 20%. The prognosis of this disease is understood to be intermediate between NET G2 and neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC). Clinical management of NET G3 is challenging due to limited data to inform treatment strategies. We describe clinical characteristics, treatment, and outcomes in a large single centre cohort of patients with gastroenteropancreatic NET G3. Data was reviewed from 26 cases managed at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham, UK, from 2012 to 2019. Most commonly the site of the primary tumour was unknown and majority of cases with identifiable primaries originated in the GI tract. Majority of cases demonstrated somatostatin receptor avidity. Median Ki67 was 30%, and most cases had stage IV disease at diagnosis. Treatment options included surgery, somatostatin analogs (SSA), and chemotherapy with either platinum-based or temozolomide-based regimens. Estimated progression free survival was 4 months following initiation of SSA and 3 months following initiation of chemotherapy. Disease control was observed following treatment in 5/11 patients treated with chemotherapy. Estimated median survival was 19 months; estimated 1 year survival was 60% and estimated 2 year survival was 13%. NET G3 is a heterogeneous group of tumours and patients which commonly have advanced disease at presentation. Prognosis is typically poor, though select cases may respond to treatment with SSA and/or chemotherapy. Further study is needed to compare efficacy of different treatment strategies for this disease.

description: The heat conduction in an open transverse-field Ising chain is studied by using quantization in the Fock space of operators in the weak coupling regimes, i.e. the coupling is much smaller than the transverse field. The non-equilibrium steady state is obtained for large size systems coupled to Markovian baths at its ends. The ballistic transport is observed in the uniform chain and normal diffusion in the random-exchange chain. {In addition, the ballistic-diffusive transition is found at the intermediate disorder regime.} The thermal conductivity $κ$ is also calculated in the low and high temperature regimes. It is shown that $κ$ decays as $κ\sim T^{-2}$ at high temperatures.

description: We theoretically study the generic behavior of the penetration depth of the edge states in two-dimensional quantum spin Hall systems. We found that the momentum-space width of the edge-state dispersion scales with the inverse of the penetration depth. As an example of well-localized edge states, we take the Bi(111) ultrathin film. Its edge states are found to extend almost over the whole Brillouin zone. Correspondingly, the bismuth (111) 1-bilayer system is proposed to have well-localized edge states in contrast to the HgTe quantum well.

Towards defining the molecular mechanism of hygienic behaviour in honey bees (Apis mellifera)
Creators: name: McAfee, Alison
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are integral components of the agricultural industry, but diseases and parasites like the Varroa destructor mite threaten their health and longevity. Some honey bee colonies harbor natural disease-resistance traits, and proteomics has been a fruitful tool to investigate mechanisms of disease resistance; however, Varroa proteomics is a budding field. One troubling trend is that both honey bee and Varroa proteomics samples consistently result in lower peptide identifications compared to conventional model species, which is hindering research on not only social disease-resistance mechanisms and honey bee-mite interactions, but countless other biological topics. We begin by conducting a proteogenomics interrogation to suggest improvements for both the Varroa and the honey bee genome annotations, and to help alleviate the limitations of proteomics technology. The resulting protein databases and web-based protein atlas will serve as resources for future Varroa and honey bee proteomics experiments. Next, we investigate the chemical ecological aspects underpinning hygienic behaviour in honey bees (one form of social immunity against parasites like Varroa). We use gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to analyze abundances of volatile and non-volatile odorants in freeze-killed and age-matched healthy brood, as well as Varroa-infested and non-infested brood. We identified 10 differentially emitted compounds, 2 of which (β-ocimene and oleic acid) are intriguing candidates as hygienic behaviour-inducers based on their previously known functions in honey bees and other social insects. Next, we investigate these two compounds’ abilities to induce hygienic behaviour using a series of behavioural assays. We found that, depending on the context, both odorants can induce hygienic behavior, and they may be acting synergistically. Finally, we begin to investigate physical and biochemical interactions between these odorants and two odorant binding proteins – OBP16 and OBP18 – which are thought to aid in disease odorant detection. We find that β-ocimene is a ligand of OBP16 and oleic acid is a ligand of both OBPs. We conclude by beginning to develop RNAi and transgenic methods for investigating the roles of these proteins in vivo. Overall, these studies are starting to reveal the simple molecular mechanisms underlying a complex social immunity trait in honey bees.

description: We show a large enhancement of two-photon absorption processes in nanocrystal quantum dots and of light upconversion efficiency from the IR to the near-IR spectral regime, using a hybrid optical device in which near-IR emitting InAs quantum dots were embedded on top a metallic nanoslit array. The resonant enhancement of these nonlinear optical processes is due to the strong local electromagnetic field enhancements inside the nanoslit array structure at the extraordinary transmission resonances. A maximal two-photon absorption enhancement of more than 20 was inferred. Different high field regions were identified for different polarizations, which can be used for designing and optimizing efficient nonlinear processes in such hybrid structures. Combining nanocrystal quantum dots with subwavelength metallic nanostructures is therfore a promising way for a range of possible nonlinear optical devices.

What happens to topological invariants (and black holes) in singularity-free theories?

description: Potentials arising in ultraviolet-completed field theories can be devoid of singularities, and hence render spacetimes simply connected. This challenges the notion of topological invariants considered in such scenarios. We explore the classical implications for (i) electrodynamics in flat spacetime, (ii) ultrarelativistic gyratonic solutions of weak-field gravity, and (iii)the Reissner--Nordström black hole in general relativity. In linear theories, regularity spoils the character of topological invariants and leads to radius-dependent Aharonov--Bohm phases, which are potentially observable for large winding numbers. In general relativity, the physics is richer: The electromagnetic field can be regular and maintain its usual topological invariants, and the resulting geometry can be interpreted as a Reissner--Nordström black hole with a spacetime region of coordinate radius $\sim q^2/(GM)$ cut out. This guarantees the regularity of linear and quadratic curvature invariants ($\mathcal{R}$ and $\mathcal{R}^2$), but does not resolve singularities in invariants such as $\mathcal{R}^p\Box^n \mathcal{R}^q$, reflected by conical or solid angle defects. This motivates that gravitational models beyond general relativity need to be considered. These connections between regularity (= UV properties of field theories) and topological invariants (= IR observables) may hence present an intriguing avenue to search for traces of new physics and identify promising modified gravity theories.

subject: Children Act 1989

description: This PhD explores the under-researched area of
 contemporary section 17 Children Act 1989 practice. Whilst highly
 researched following implementation of the Children Act, section 17
 provision has since been mostly overlooked, except in relation to where
 thresholds sit for child protection intervention under section 47, or by
 the recent review of children’s social care. This study provides a
 detailed exploration of contemporary section 17 child in need provision.

 Considered through a critical constructivist lens, a detailed review of
 the literature relating to section 17 and the challenges faced since its
 inception sets the scene. This is followed by a discussion of methods
 used, and a detailed contextual positioning of the study area. Findings
 commences with a documentary analysis of relevant local policy and
 procedure documentation. With context front and centre, the study explores
 the influence of national and organisational positionality, discourse and
 language on contemporary section 17 practice.

 The rich data obtained through qualitative research methods (focus groups
 and interviews with 12 social work professionals, four allied
 professionals and eight families), brings to the surface the multiple,
 complex, and competing influences on social work professionals’
 formulations of need and the way in which formal and informal logics and
 reasoning interweave. It further considers the way in which social work
 professionals perceive and relate to the people they work with and how
 section 17 thresholds are negotiated in practice. Consideration of allied
 professional and family experiences of section 17 complete the data
 analysis, spotlighting voices rarely seen in this practice area, with some
 findings echoing the experiences of social work participants.

 The study concludes highlighting the ongoing challenges of section 17
 practice, and offers suggestions for training, practice, legislative and
 policy change.

Delayed dynamic triggering of earthquakes: Evidences from a statistical model of seismicity

description: I study a recently proposed statistical model of earthquake dynamics that incorporates aging as a fundamental ingredient. The model is known to generate earthquake sequences that quantitatively reproduce the spatial and temporal clustering of events observed in actual seismic patterns. The aim of the present work is to investigate if this model can give support to the empirical evidence that earthquakes can be triggered by transient small perturbations, particularly by the passing of seismic waves originated in events occurring in far geographical locations. The effect of seismic waves is incorporated into the model by assuming that they produce instantaneous small modifications in the dynamical state of the system at the time they are applied. This change in the dynamical state has two main effects. On one side, it induces earthquakes that occur right at the application of the perturbation. These are called immediate events. On the other side, after the application of the perturbation there is a delayed effect: the seismic activity increases abruptly after the perturbation, then falls down below the level of background activity, and eventually recovers to the background value. The time scale of these variations depends on the internal dynamics of the system, and is totally independent of the duration of the perturbation. The number of delayed events in excess of the background activity is typically observed to be around a factor of twenty larger than the number of immediate events. The origin of the enhanced activity period following the perturbation is associated to the existence of aging relaxation, and it does not occur if relaxation is absent. These findings give support to the experimental evidence that earthquake can be remotely triggered by small transient perturbations as those produced by seismic waves.
