title: A CORPUS STUDY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ADJECTIVE PHRASE IN FRENCH CHILDREN

description: In this thesis I attempt to answer three questions:

H1) Do children use proportionally more prenominal or post-nominal placement of adjectives than adults?

H2) Are children more conservative or more creative in their behavior in alternating prenominal and post-nominal placement of adjectives?

H3) If colored terms are more frequent in child speech will they pattern more like prenominal adjectives or more like post nominal adjectives, as in adult speech?

To do this, I examine two general semantic viewpoints, opting to use Scontras & Goodman (2017) subjectivity hypothesis. Next, I provide a general overview of First Language Acquisition research and then I turn to specifics of French adjective semantics and syntax, paying particular attention to factors that influence the preferential placement of an individual adjective. I next turn to some psychological factors, making certain types of adjectives especially difficult or easy to learn. I conclude by extending the work of Fox (2012).

All this information is to provide the reader theoretical background to understand children’s adjective placement. The real answers come through a corpus investigation of how French children are treating adjectives in the earliest stages of development. Methodologically I answer my three questions by using three corpora from the CHILDES database (MacWhinney 2000). I also create an adult control group from a spoken French corpus. I run mixed effects models to project the behavior of adjectives past the sampling age using R.

In the end, I discover that children are more conservative at this early stage. This can be seen by the greater number of post-nominal adjectives. I define conservative behavior as sticking more closely to either position (prenominal or post-nominal) than adults. For example, if a child uses an adjective more closely to 100% prenominal or 0% prenominal than adults, the child is being more conservative than an adult. I also find that children use proportionally more color terms than adults and are more creative with some common color terms. Size and color terms were found to be quickly learned.

description: We present photometric and kinematic information obtained by measuring 197 planetary nebulae (PNs) discovered in the flattened Fornax elliptical galaxy NGC 1344 (also known as NGC 1340) with an on-band, off-band, grism + on-band filter technique. We build the PN luminosity function (PNLF) and use it to derive a distance modulus m-M=31.4, slightly smaller than, but in good agreement with, the surface brightness fluctuation distance. The PNLF also provides an estimate of the specific PN formation rate: 6x10^-12 PNs per year per solar luminosity. Combining the positional information from the on-band image with PN positions measured on the grism + on-band image, we can measure the radial velocities of 195 PNs, some of them distant more than 3 effective radii from the center of NGC 1344. We complement this data set with stellar kinematics derived from integrated spectra along the major and minor axes, and parallel to the major axis of NGC 1344. The line-of-sight velocity dispersion profile indicates the presence of a dark matter halo around this galaxy.

Is it consistent with self interested behaviour for a population to organise itself into a relatively small number of societies? In a companion paper we characterized how large " must be, in terms of parameters describing individual games, for an equilibrium to exhibit conformity in pure strategies. In this paper we provide a wide class of games where such conformity is boundedly rational, that is, where " can be chosen to be small.

description: The effects of climate change and exhaustion of natural resources has triggered a movement towards “sustainable” or “green” construction (Offin, 2010). This trend has created a renewed interest in construction with natural building materials. This study aims to examine the suitability of Cob and Straw Bale based construction for the UBC farm’s new building based on 3 primary factors; economic, social, and environmental. Primary research was conducted through online, in-print, and professional resources. Existing examples of Straw Bale and Cob utilizing buildings were both the inspiration and the main target of research and information gathering efforts. This study shows the suitability of Straw Bale based construction for a large scale building, and the complementing Cob based construction for a smaller building or new wing of an otherwise traditional building. These conclusions should prove useful in all future infrastructure investments of the University of British Columbia.

The role of network topology on extremism propagation with the Relative Agreement opinion dynamics

description: In (Deffuant et al., 2002), we proposed a simple model of opinion dynamics, which we used to simulate the influence of extremists in a population. Simulations were run without any specific interaction structure and varying the simulation parameters, we observed different attractors such as predominance of centrism or of extremism. We even observed in certain conditions, that the whole population drifts to one extreme of the opinion, even if initially there are an equal number of extremists at each extreme of the opinion axis. In the present paper, we study the influence of the social networks on the presence of such a dynamical behavior. In particular, we use small-world networks with variable connectivity and randomness of the connections. We find that the drift to a single extreme appears only beyond a critical level of connectivity, which decreases when the randomness increases.

title: Transcriptional regulation of Hox genes during hindbrain development.
Creators: name: Tumpel, Stefan Wolfgang
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2006

description: Hox genes play a crucial role in patterning the anteroposterior axis. Therefore, it is important to understand the mechanisms regulating their expression. One way of identifying regulatory regions is to compare related genomic sequences in order to find conserved elements. Previous work in transgenic mice has defined the elements required to recapitulate Hoxa2 expression in rhombomeres 3 and 5. However, the mechanisms regulating expression of Hoxa2 in rhombomeres 2 and 4 were unknown. In this study, I demonstrate that a highly conserved region in the intron of Hoxa2 contains the control elements directing rhombomere 4 expression. Further, I show that the rhombomere 2 enhancer is located in the second exon of Hoxa2.
Due to genome-wide duplication events, the number of Hox genes increased during vertebrate evolution. In the pufferfish, this led to the presence of two Hoxa2 genes, Hoxa2(a) and Hoxa2(b). The two co-paralogous genes show differential expression. I compared the control regions of these two genes and identified subtle changes in their cw-regulatory regions. Using chick electroporation, I show that several changes in these elements are responsible for the differential expression.
Hoxbl has a broad expression pattern in the hindbrain at early stages. This expression becomes restricted to rhombomere 4 during later development. I show that Krox20 binds to a highly conserved repressor region and that removal of this element in transgenic constructs leads to an expansion of reporter expression into rhombomeres 3 and 5. Finally, I show that Hoxbl expression in the second branchial arch is repressed by a mammalian-specific repressor element.
This work has shed important insight into the mechanisms and factors that modulte expression of Hoxa2 and Hoxbl during hindbrain development.

description: Multi-component correlation functions are developed by utilizing d-outcome measurements. Based on the multi-component correlation functions, we propose a Bell inequality for bipartite d-dimensional systems. Violation of the Bell inequality for continuous variable (CV) systems is investigated. The violation of the original Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen state can exceed the Cirel'son bound, the maximal violation is 2.96981. For finite value of squeezing parameter, violation strength of CV states increases with dimension d. Numerical results show that the violation strength of CV states with finite squeezing parameter is stronger than that of original EPR state.

description: This paper studies a decentralized job market model where firms (academic departments) propose sequentially a (unique) position to some workers (Ph.D. candidates). Successful candidates then decide whether to accept the offers, and departments whose positions remain unfilled propose to other candidates. We distinguish between several cases, depending on whether agents’ actions are simultaneous and/or irreversible (if a worker accepts an offer he is immediately matched, and both the worker and the firm to which she is matched go out of the market). For all these cases, we provide a complete characterization of the Nash equilibrium outcomes and the Subgame Perfect equilibria. While the set of Nash equilibria outcomes contain all individually rational matchings, it turns out that in most cases considered all subgame perfect equilibria yield a unique outcome, the worker-optimal matching.

description: We make two main contributions to the theory of economic and social network formation. First, we introduce the notion of a network formation network or a supernetwork. Supernetworks provide a framework in which we can formally define and analyze farsightedness in network formation. Second, we introduce a new notion of equilibrium corresponding to farsightedness. In particular, we introduce the notion of a farsightedly basic network, as well as the notion of a farsighted basis, and we show that all supernetworks possess a farsighted basis. A farsightedly basic network contained in the farsighted basis of a given supernetwork represents a possible final resting point (or absorbing state) of a network formation process in which agents behave farsightedly. Given the supernetwork representation of the rules governing network formation and the preferences of the individuals, a farsighted basis contains networks which are likely to emerge and persist if individuals behave farsightedly.

description: We observed long-term behavior of the helium dwarf nova V803 Cen, and clarified the existence of at least two distinct states (state with 77-d supercycles and standstill-like state) which interchangeably appeared with a time-scale of 1--2 yr. We also conducted a time-resolved CCD photometry campaign during the bright outburst in 2003 June. The overall appearance of the outburst closely resemble that of the late stage of the 2001 outburst of WZ Sge, consisting of the initial peak stage (superoutburst plateau), the dip, and the oscillating (rebrightening) states. During the initial peak stage, we detected large-amplitude superhump-type variation with a period of 0.018686(4) d = 1614.5(4) s, and during the oscillation stage, we detected variations with a period of 0.018728(2) d = 1618.1(2) s. We consider that the former period better represents the superhump period of this system, and the latter periodicity may be better interpreted as arising from late superhumps. The overall picture of the V803 Cen outburst resembles that of a WZ Sge-type outburst, but apparently with a higher mass-transfer rate than in hydrogen-rich WZ Sge-type stars. We suggest that this behavior may be either the result of difficulty in maintaining the hot state in a helium disk, or the effect of an extremely low tidal torque resulting from the extreme mass ratio.

description: In this Letter, we discuss new deep radio observations of PKS 1622-253 and their implications for the energetics of the central engine that powers this strong high energy gamma-ray source. Combining archival infrared and optical measurements with new millimeter observations, we show that even though the accretion flow in PKS 1622-253 is under-luminous by quasar standards, a powerful super-luminal jet is launched with a higher kinetic luminosity than most EGRET blazars. Only a few percent of the total jet kinetic luminosity is required to power even the most powerful gamma ray flares that are observed. The implication is that a high accretion system is not required to power the strongest high energy gamma ray sources.

description: We investigate generalized interacting dark matter-dark energy scenarios with a time-dependent coupling parameter, allowing also for freedom in the neutrino sector. The models are tested in the phantom and quintessence regimes, characterized by an equation of state $w_x-1$, respectively. Our analyses show that for some of the scenarios the existing tensions on the Hubble constant $H_0$ and on the clustering parameter $S_8$ can be significantly alleviated. The relief is either due to \textit{(a)} a dark energy component which lies within the phantom region; or \textit{(b)} the presence of a dynamical coupling in quintessence scenarios. The inclusion of massive neutrinos into the interaction schemes does not affect neither the constraints on the cosmological parameters nor the bounds on the total number or relativistic degrees of freedom $N_{\rm eff}$, which are found to be extremely robust and, in general, strongly consistent with the canonical prediction $N_{\rm eff}=3.045$. The most stringent bound on the total neutrino mass $M_ν$ is $M_ν<0.116$ eV and it is obtained within a quintessence scenario in which the matter mass-energy density is only mildly affected by the presence of a dynamical dark sector coupling.

description: Numerous authors point to a decline in joint liability microcredit, and rise in individual liability lending. But empirical evidence is lacking, and there have been no rigorous analyses of possible causes. We first show using the well-known MIX Market dataset that there is evidence for a decline. Second, we show theoretically that commercialization–an increase in competition and a shift from non-profit to for-profit lending (both of which are present in the data)–drives lenders to reduce their use of joint liability loan contracts. Third, we test the model’s key predictions, and find support for them in the data.

Overcoming boarders: Spina bifida and European Cooperation

description: Abstract

The case report about a Georgian child with prenatally diagnosed spina bifida aperta is intended to show that highly specialized medicine is also available to affected families beyond national borders. Spina bifida aperta is one of the most serious malformations in humans. Worldwide, the abortion rate is estimated at 63%. In recent decades, significant progress has been made in prevention, diagnosis and treatment. The long-term outcome for children with Spina bifida aperta is significantly dependent on the level of the lesion and the timing of surgical treatment. It has been clearly shown that prepartum closure of the lesion reduces loss of function in motor skills and sensitivity. Not all European countries are able to provide appropriate prenatal surgical care. Affected parents should be offered the option of prepartum surgery. Collaborations within Europe for the medical care of Spina bifida aperta should be formed and made easier accessible to parents. Good postpartum follow-up care and special physiotherapeutic treatment of the children increase and ensure the success of the operation. The quality of medical care in all European countries can benefit from collegial cooperation. Overcoming borders instead of building borders can be life-decisive in individual cases. It needs courage to take the step forward and professional moderation between the players. This European cooperation could only succeed because there were convinced and committed players and shows that speciality medicine can also succeed beyond European borders. We need international efforts and funding to be able to offer affected families an alternative to abortion.

description: We examine the link between a mother’s autonomy - the freedom and ability to think, express, act and make decisions independently - and the nutritional status of her children. We design a novel statistical framework that accounts for cultural and traditional environment, to create a measure of maternal autonomy, a concept that has rarely been examined previously as a factor in children’s nutritional outcomes. Using data from the Third Round of the National Family Health Survey for India, supplemented with our qualitative survey, and accounting for “son preference” by limiting analysis to first-born children under 18 months of age, we document that maternal autonomy has a positive impact on the long-term nutritional status of rural children. We find that one standard deviation increase in maternal autonomy score (i) is associated with a 10 percent reduction (representing 300,000 children) in the prevalence of stunting, and (ii) compensates for half of the estimated average decline in Height-for Age Zscores Indian children experience in the second six months of life. The findings underscore the importance of women’s empowerment in improving children’s nutrition during the critical first two years of life, a recognized “window of opportunity” for lifelong health and economic benefits.

Resolving Power of Asteroseismic Inversion of the Kepler Legacy Sample
Creators: name: Kosovichev, Alexander G.
name: Kitiashvili, Irina N.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Kepler Asteroseismic Legacy Project provided frequencies, separation ratios, error estimates, and covariance matrices for 66 Kepler main sequence targets. Most of the previous analysis of these data was focused on fitting standard stellar models. We present results of direct asteroseismic inversions using the method of optimally localized averages (OLA), which effectively eliminates the surface effects and attempts to resolve the stellar core structure. The inversions are presented for various structure properties, including the density stratification and sound speed. The results show that the mixed modes observed in post-main sequence F-type stars allow us to resolve the stellar core structure and reveal significant deviations from the evolutionary models obtained by the grid-fitting procedure to match the observed oscillation frequencies.

description: This paper provides some of the rst evidence that rural development policies can have fundamental eects on the reallocation of labor between rural and urban areas. It studies the spillover eects of the world's largest rural workfare program, India's rural employment guarantee. We nd that the workfare program has substantial consequences: it reduces short-term (or seasonal) migration to urban areas by 9% and increases wages for manual, short-term work in urban areas by 6%. The implied elasticity of unskilled wages with respect to short-term migration is high (-0.7).

description: The new coronavirus known as COVID-19 is spread world-wide since December 2019. Without any vaccination or medicine, the means of controlling it are limited to quarantine and social distancing. Here we study the spatio-temporal propagation of the first wave of the COVID-19 virus in China and compare it to other global locations. We provide a comprehensive picture of the spatial propagation from Hubei to other provinces in China in terms of distance, population size, and human mobility and their scaling relations. Since strict quarantine has been usually applied between cities, more insight about the temporal evolution of the disease can be obtained by analyzing the epidemic within cities, especially the time evolution of the infection, death, and recovery rates which affected by policies. We study and compare the infection rate in different cities in China and provinces in Italy and find that the disease spread is characterized by a two-stages process. At early times, at order of few days, the infection rate is close to a constant probably due to the lack of means to detect infected individuals before infection symptoms are observed. Then at later times it decays approximately exponentially due to quarantines. The time evolution of the death and recovery rates also distinguish between these two stages and reflect the health system situation which could be overloaded.
Finite Unified Theories and the Higgs mass prediction

description: Finite Unified Theories (FUTs) are N=1 supersymmetric Grand Unified Theories, which can be made all-loop finite, both in the dimensionless (gauge and Yukawa couplings) and dimensionful (soft supersymmetry breaking terms) sectors. This remarkable property provides a drastic reduction in the number of free parameters, which in turn leads to an accurate prediction of the top quark mass in the dimensionless sector, and predictions for the Higgs boson mass and the supersymmetric spectrum in the dimensionful sector. Here we examine the predictions of two FUTs taking into account a number of theoretical and experimental constraints. For the first one we present the results of a detailed scanning concerning the Higgs mass prediction, while for the second we present a representative prediction of its spectrum.

Neutralino Dark Matter, b-tau Yukawa Unification and Non-Universal Sfermion Masses

description: We study the implications of minimal non-Universal Boundary Conditions in the sfermion Soft SUSY Breaking (SSB) masses of mSUGRA. We impose asymptotic b-tau Yukawa coupling Unification and we resort to a parameterization of the deviation from Universality in the SSB motivated by the multiplet structure of SU(5) GUT. A set of cosmo-phenomenological constraints, including the recent results from WMAP, determines the allowed parameter space of the models under consideration. We highlight a new coannihilation corridor where neutralino-sbottom and neutralino-tau sneutrino-stau coannihilations significantly contribute to the reduction of the neutralino relic density.

Transverse energy per charged particle at relativistic energies from a statistical model with expansion
Creators: name: Prorok, Dariusz
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Transverse energy and charged particle pseudorapidity densities at midrapidity and their ratio, $dE_{T}/dη\mid_{mid} / dN_{ch}/dη|_{mid}$, are evaluated in a statistical model with longitudinal and transverse flows for the wide range of colliders, from AGS to RHIC at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV. Evaluations are done at freeze-out parameters established independently from fits to observed particle yields and $p_{T}$ spectra. Decays of hadron resonances are treated thoroughly and are included in derivations of $dE_{T}/dη|_{mid}$ and $dN_{ch}/dη|_{mid}$. The predictions of the model agree well with the experimental data. However, some (explicable) overestimation of the ratio has been observed.

An investigation into Bring Your Own Container food outlet concept
Creators: name: Lu, Xun

name: Chen, Chun Teng
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The following report outlines the evaluation of feasibility of Bring Your Own Container (BYOC) in the new SUB of UBC using a triple-bottom-line analysis approach and concludes whether or not the new SUB should proceed with BYOC. The triple-bottom-line analysis includes three aspects: environmental assessment, economical assessment, and social assessment. All sources in this report are from peer-reviewed articles, on-line articles, and surveys. The economical assessment is based on the research of two indicators: cost of disposable containers (like paper and Styrofoam) versus reusable containers (plastic, glass) and the impact of BYOC program on vendors. The environmental assessment makes a comparison between disposable and reusable containers. Each part of disposable containers or reusable containers also illustrated several types of containers with different materials. Recommendations among the various containers are made for environmental sustainability. The social research is focused on students. Firstly, a survey was carried out. It shows that most students worry about potential health problems caused by BYOC. Also, some researches point out that some chemicals from plastic food containers might lead to health problems. Lastly, another survey shows that BYOC would allow students to have some positive habits. In conclusion, based on these three aspects of sustainability assessment, this report suggests that BYOC can significantly benefit the new SUB’s sustainability, leading to a green and eco-friendly SUB in UBC. Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community. The reader should bear in mind that this is a student project/report and is not an official document of UBC. Furthermore readers should bear in mind that these reports may not reflect the current status of activities at UBC.
