description: The goal ofthis thesis project was to examine the kinds of adult-organized activities children in Calgary pursue during their out-of-school hours. My research explored how decisions are made in regards to these activities, what considerations are taken into account when activities are selected, and the impact these activities had on parents. Research participants included 18 coaches, instructors, and leaders, and mothers, fathers, and children (aged between nine and 14) from 12 Calgary families. Children's activities were found to be a product of complex decision-making, and required considerable work on the part of parents, particularly mothers.
Activity-mediated plasticity of GABA equilibrium potential in the CA1 region of the rat hippocampus
Creators: name: Yang, Bo
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS). GABAA receptor mediated inhibitory postsynaptic currents (IPSCs) can affect both excitatory and inhibitory synapses, and thus, regulate CNS network activity. Amplitudes and the direction of IPSCs are subject to changes in the GABA equilibrium potential (EGABA). Changes in EGABA can affect various types of activity-dependent plasticity of the IPSC. Interestingly, EGABA is set at a more positive level in neonatal than that in adult central neurons, rendering GABA excitatory in neonates and inhibitory in adults. Therefore, mechanisms underlying activity-mediated as well as age-dependent plasticity of EGABA in rat hippocampus were examined in the current study. Since EGABA is mainly determined by the levels of intracellular Cl⁻ concentration ([Cl⁻]i) in central neurons, the activities of two cation-Cl⁻ cotransporters (K⁺⁻Cl⁻ cotransporter, KCC2 and Na⁺⁻K⁺⁻Cl⁻ cotransporter, NKCC1) contribute to changes in EGABA. Accordingly, factors which influence KCC2 or NKCC1 activity can induce shifts in EGABA. In this thesis, the involvement of GABAB receptors, metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), G-proteins and postsynaptic Ca²⁺ in the regulation of KCC2 or NKCC1 activity, and thus in EGABA in immature and juvenile hippocampal CA1 neurons were examined. Whole-cell patch recordings were made from hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons (from 9-12 or 3-5 day old rats), in a slice preparation. Glutamatergic excitatory postsynaptic currents were blocked with dl-2-Amino-5-phosphonovaleric acid (APV) and 6,7-dinitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (DNQX). Western blot and immunohistochemistry methods were also used to monitor changes in receptor distribution and localization. The results indicate that shifts in EGABA are associated with several types of activity-mediated plasticity of IPSCs via changes in the activity of KCC2 or NKCC1 in hippocampal neurons. Interestingly, one type of specific, and behaviorally relavant, stimulation (theta burst stimulation, TBS) is able to induce a two-direction-shift in EGABA in juvenile and neonatal hippocampal neurons. GABAB receptors and G-porteins are involved in TBS-induced shifts in EGABA in juvenile hippocampal neurons while both postsynaptic Ca²⁺ and mGluRs appear to contribute to TBS-induced shifst in EGABA in both juvenile and neonatal neurons. However, the exact signal transduction pathways involving those above-mentioned factors awaits further investigation.

description: My first reading of Maurice Friedman's essay produced much the same effects that are had—today, alas, so seldom—from a good sermon. I was downright inspired and enlivened with new insights and new hopes concerning the contemporary encounter of religions. With his image of touchstones, Friedman avoids academic annotated analysis and provides creative, practical theology. Though he does not indicate it through notes or references, he is very well acquainted with the literature and central issues in the contemporary discussion on "the many religions"—how to understand them and how to lead them to a more authentic and effective dialogue.
A Dialogical Church: Newly Born and Still Growing

description: As I look back over the past quarter century, since the birthing of Horizons, I witness, from my personal theological perch, the concomitant birthing of what we might call a "dialogical church." Since the theological watershed of Vatican IPs Nostra Aetate, there has begun in the church, especially the Roman Catholic Church, a sea-change in its relationships with other religions. In this "Declaration on the Relationship of the Church to Non-Christian Religions," a Christian church did something that no Christian church had ever done before in its two-millennia journey through history: it affirmed the divinely given truth and value of other religions and then called upon its sons and daughters, "prudently and lovingly" to engage in "dialogue and collaboration with the followers of other religions." This shift (some might call it an about-face) in Christian attitudes gave birth to a new kind of church—a church that gradually has come to understand itself as a religious community in conversation with other religious communities.

Several properties are derived forthe unit disk such as that the only intersection points with the real axis are Dirichleteigenvalues of the Laplacian. For general sufficiently smooth scatterers in two dimensionsthe only trajectorial limit points are shown to be Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Laplacian asthe refractive index tends to infinity. Additionally, numerical results for several scatterersare presented which give rise to an underlying one-to-one correspondence between thesetwo eigenvalue families which is finally stated as a conjecture.

description: We study the stability of 5D gravitational solutions containing an arbitrary number of scalar fields. A closed set of equations is derived which governs the background and perturbations of N scalar fields and the metric, for arbitrary bulk and boundary scalar potentials. In particular the effect of the energy-momentum tensor of the scalar fields on the geometry is fully taken into account, together with all the perturbations of the system. The equations are explicitly written as an eigenvalue problem, which can be readily solved to determine the stability of the system and obtain the properties of the fluctuations, such as masses and couplings. As an example, we study a dynamical soft-wall model with two bulk scalar fields used to model the hadron spectrum of QCD and the Higgs sector of electroweak physics. It is shown that there are no tachyonic modes, and that there is a (radion) mode whose mass is suppressed by a large logarithm compared to that of the other Kaluza-Klein modes.

Rethinking Macroeconomics: What Failed, and How to Repair It
Creators: name: Stiglitz, Joseph E.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: Economics

description: The standard macroeconomic models have failed, by all the most important tests of scientific theory. They did not predict that the financial crisis would happen; and when it did, they understated its effects. Monetary authorities allowed bubbles to grow and focused on keeping inflation low, partly because the standard models suggested that low inflation was necessary and almost sufficient for efficiency and growth. After the crisis broke, policymakers relying on the models floundered. Notwithstanding the diversity of macroeconomics, the sum of these failures points to the need for a fundamental re-examination of the models--and a reassertion of the lessons of modern general equilibrium theory that were seemingly forgotten in the years leading up to the crisis. This paper first describes the failures of the standard models in broad terms, and then develops the economics of deep downturns, and shows that such downturns are endogenous. Further, the paper argues that there have been systemic changes to the structure of the economy that made the economy more vulnerable to crisis, contrary to what the standard models argued. Finally, the paper contrasts the policy implications of our framework with those of the standard models.
Dynamics of the symmetric eigenvalue problem with shift strategies

description: A common algorithm for the computation of eigenvalues of real symmetric tridiagonal matrices is the iteration of certain special maps $F_σ$ called shifted $QR$ steps. Such maps preserve spectrum and a natural common domain is ${\cal T}_Λ$, the manifold of real symmetric tridiagonal matrices conjugate to the diagonal matrix $Λ$. More precisely, a (generic) shift $s \in \RR$ defines a map $F_s: {\cal T}_Λ\to {\cal T}_Λ$. A strategy $σ: {\cal T}_Λ\to \RR$ specifies the shift to be applied at $T$ so that $F_σ(T) = F_{σ(T)}(T)$. Good shift strategies should lead to fast deflation: some off-diagonal coordinate tends to zero, allowing for reducing of the problem to submatrices. For topological reasons, continuous shift strategies do not obtain fast deflation; many standard strategies are indeed discontinuous. Practical implementation only gives rise systematically to bottom deflation, convergence to zero of the lowest off-diagonal entry $b(T)$. For most shift strategies, convergence to zero of $b(T)$ is cubic, $|b(F_σ(T))| = Θ(|b(T)|^k)$ for $k = 3$. The existence of arithmetic progressions in the spectrum of $T$ sometimes implies instead quadratic convergence, $k = 2$. The complete integrability of the Toda lattice and the dynamics at non-smooth points are central to our discussion. The text does not assume knowledge of numerical linear algebra.

Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2012

description: Bibliography: p. 38-50
description: The present study examined the developmental progression of attention to prosodic information in speech (namely word stress) at 4-6, 8, and 12 months of age in both typically­developing infants and infants at risk for developing ASD. Four to six month-olds were tested on their perception of word stress, 8-month-olds were tested on their ability to segment words using stress, and 12-month-olds were tested on their use of stress to map novel words to objects. Infants' language ability was measured at 12 months using a parent report measure of receptive and expressive language and gesture use, which was correlated with performance on each task. While group-level differences were present only at 4-6 months, differential processing of prosody was present within each group. That is, infants who exhibited sensitivity to prosody early in development were also more likely to demonstrate stronger, early language competence at 12 months.
A Simplified Scheme for GUT-inspired Theories with Multiple Abelian Factors

description: Grand Unified Theories often involve additional Abelian group factors apart from the standard model hypercharge, that generally lead to loop-induced mixing gauge kinetic terms. In this letter, we show that at the one-loop level this effect can be avoided in many cases by a suitable choice of basis in group space and present a general scheme for the construction of this basis. In supersymmetric theories however, a residual mixing in the soft SUSY breaking gaugino mass terms may appear. We generalize the renormalization group equations for the gaugino mass terms to account for this effect. In a further calculation we also present the necessary adjustments in the renormalization group equations of the trilinear soft breaking couplings and the soft breaking scalar mass squares.

description: When studying natural disasters, it is necessary to analyze the circumstances with a comprehensive approach that focuses on relief and moving the affected area from development to sustainability. Thus, it is imperative to consider all social, environmental, and psychological factors when addressing the complex needs of disaster response from a social work perspective. To establish immediate and long-term support networks, it is also necessary to bring together interdisciplinary teams to assist in disaster relief efforts. In the past decade, a number of devastating natural disasters have managed to cause death, destruction, and disease within the populations of a vast number of countries. This paper examines global disaster relief efforts for three major natural disasters of the past decade through a review of the literature and from observations made in the field.

Patterns of parasitism in black-handed spider monkeys (atels geoffroyi) at Runaway Creek Nature Reserve, Belize

description: Bibliography: p. 57-76
description: With advances in non-invasive methods for detecting parasite infection, there has been an influx of parasite studies on non-human primates. However, many non-human primate species have not been sampled and we do not know how various host characteristics affect an individual's susceptibility to parasite infections. The goals of this study were to identify the parasite genera present in a wild group of black-handed spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi), provide the first health assessment using parasite species richness of wild black-handed spider monkeys and to examine how various host characteristics such as age, sex, variation in contact affiliation and sub-grouping patterns affect the distribution of parasite genera within the group. I collected behavioral data and fecal samples from a group of 34 wild black-handed spider monkeys from January to June, 2010 at Runaway Creek Nature Reserve in Belize. I recovered nine parasite genera (Strongyloides spp., Trichostrongylus spp., Ascaris spp., Enterobius spp., Physaloptera spp., Oesophagostomum spp., Controrchis spp., Giardia spp., Balantidium coli). Six of the nine parasite genera are known to be pathogenic. However, an absence of deaths associated with parasitism and minimal behavioral signs of disease indicate that the overall health of the study group is relatively good. There was a trend for older individuals to have higher parasite species richness than younger individuals, but this was not significant. Age, sex and level of contact affiliation did not predict whether an individual would be infected with any parasite genera identified in the study. Individuals who associated more frequently in sub-groups were significantly more likely to share Strongyloides spp. infections. This is most likely because those individuals have more similar exposure to the infective larvae of Strongyloides spp. in the environment. Individuals who had higher levels of contact affiliation were not more likely to share infections of Strongyloides spp., Enterobius spp. or Giardia spp. This study represents the first intensive study of parasites in wild Ate/es geoffroyi and provides a base-line for the long­term health monitoring of the study group.

description: Due to the smallness of the lepton Yukawa couplings, higher-dimensional operators can give a significant contribution to the lepton masses. In this case, the lepton mass matrix and the matrix of lepton-Higgs couplings are misaligned leading to lepton flavor violation (LFV) mediated by the Standard Model Higgs boson. We derive model-independent bounds on the Higgs flavor violating couplings and quantify LFV in decays of leptons and electric dipole moments for a class of lepton-Higgs operators contributing to lepton masses. We find significant Higgs-mediated LFV effects at both 1-loop and 2-loop levels.

description: As we so often hear, Christians of every new generation, or in any new cultural context, have to answer for themselves the question Jesus posed for the first generation of disciples: "Who do you say I am?" (Mk 8:27) This is a question that can be answered only in the light of other questions—that is, the personal, social, political, scientific questions we find ourselves grappling with in our own age and experience. The meaning of Jesus "becomes flesh" again in the meaning and direction we struggle for in our own times.
A cross species approach to identify potential therapeutic targets through synthetic lethal interactions
Creators: name: McLellan, Jessica
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Chromosome instability (CIN) is characterized by the loss or gain of large portions of DNA and is characteristic of ~85% of solid tumours. Sequencing of the human orthologues of ~200 genes that cause CIN in yeast identified mutations in approximately 25% of tumours tested. Mutations in cohesin genes and CDC4 represented the two major mutational categories identified. Large scale genetic interaction networks in model organisms can provide insight into the biology underlying tumour mutations and can identify potential therapeutic targets. This approach is based on the concept of synthetic lethality (SL); cell death resulting from the combination of two sub-lethal mutations. Therapies that take advantage of SL distinguish a cancer cell from a normal cell based on their genetic background. This thesis investigated genetic interactions of three cohesin genes, SMC1, SCC1, and SCC2, using high throughput synthetic genetic array (SGA) methods in S. cerevisiae. The overlay of these three genome wide SGA screens and validation using growth curve analysis found that sub-optimal cohesin requires the presence of proteins that mediate replication fork progression. The protruding vulva assay was developed to identify genetic interactions in the somatic cells of C. elegans. It was used to test whether the cohesin interactions were conserved in a multicellular animal. 80% of the validated interactions identified with cohesin in yeast are conserved in C. elegans. Additional fork mediators, namely the pme/PARP family of genes was found to interact with him-1/SMC1 in both C. elegans and human cells. Human cells depleted of SMC1 by siRNA are selectively sensitive to the PARP inhibitor olaparib, currently being evaluated in phase II clinical trials. Additional genetic interaction testing found that CDC4 has a distinct genetic interaction profile from that of cohesin, suggesting different mutational consequences. Work in C. elegans with the lin-23 mutant suggested LIN-23 is involved in controlling CYE-1/Cyclin E levels. lin-23 mutants and human CDC4-/- cells are unable to properly respond to alkylating DNA damage, suggesting CDC4 is important for the DNA damage response. Keywords: colon tumours, chromosome instability, cohesin, CDC4, genetic interactions, SGA, replication fork, PARP.

description: I wrote No Other Name? to ask a question and invite a response—the question mark on the title page is meant with utter seriousness. In the book I wanted to formulate as lucidly as possible what I think is a pressing, though often unconfronted, question for Christian belief and practice and then to propose what I think is a viable, though still controversial, answer to that question. My answer, though, is still part of the question. Whether the proposed "theocentric model" (or something like it) is valid for the Christian academy and ecclesia will depend, in great measure, on how much it merits the "placet" or (to be realistic) the "placet juxta modum" of my theological colleagues and fellow believers.

description: A search for the Standard Model Higgs boson in the H -> WW(*) -> l nu l nu (l = e, mu) decay mode is presented. The search is performed using proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 /fb at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV collected during 2011 with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. No significant excess of events over the expected background is observed. An upper bound is placed on the Higgs boson production cross section as a function of its mass. A Standard Model Higgs boson with mass in the range between 133 GeV and 261 GeV is excluded at 95% confidence level, while the expected exclusion range is from 127 GeV to 233 GeV.

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1981
Subjects: Religions

description: A survey of recent Christian literature on the dialogue with Buddhism reveals a conversation which is new in both spirit and content. This article summarizes these new directions in five areas: 1) the methodology of dialogue; 2) the nature of the ultimate and of religious language; 3) religious experience as an experience of selflessness 4) the value and need of acting in the world, and 5) the unique, salvific mediation of Jesus and Gautama. In each of these areas, suggestions are offered as to how the new insights from the dialogue with Buddhism might aid in clarifying questions and incoherencies in present-day Christian doctrine and practice.

description: At first glance, Andy Russell's ( 1915-2005) environmental activism appears to be fraught with inconsistencies. Land use he supported in one instance he would condemn in another. Onlookers sometimes considered those inconsistencies to be evidence of capricious reasoning. However, Russell's environmental ethic was overall coherent and enduring through his most active decades: the 1960s and 1970s. Indeed, closer examination reveals that Russell's perceived inconsistencies were in fact pragmatic responses to different environmental contexts - namely, to modern working landscapes, on the one hand, and anti-modern wilderness landscapes, on the other. Activities that he welcomed in one landscape were considered impermissible in the other. Yet in both contexts his motivations remained the same. Specifically, his environmental activism allowed him to define and defend his attachment to the land and his sense of place. In this way Russell's environmental work promoted cultural preservation as much as ecology and conservation.

description: Rampant Rhino poaching is a key concern for Africa and specifically for Kruger National Park. Many conservation organizations concluded that to combat poaching new technology helps – such as GPS collars and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). The result has been disappointing so far; as the poaching increased exponentially. Rangers need additional help; and an unmanned aircraft system (UAS) may provide a solution. Using UAS to fight poaching is a daunting task. First, places like Kruger have to be considered "harsh environments". Most UAV that people promote for the commercial market do not meet such requirements. Military UAS who could handle harsh environments are too costly. This presentation discusses the opportunities and systems engineering of how UAS may support the rangers in the war against poaching; and help protect rhinos and rangers. The systems engineering includes common UAV technologies, additional technologies, and concepts of operations, risks, and ancillary helpful actions. There are 2 key UAS that could be operated by rangers: 1) A centrally controlled sector aircraft. 2) A field deployable aircraft. Both could be either fixed wing aircraft or helicopter type aircraft; both have their specific applications and system requirements. In addition to these architectures there are other systems that are needed to increase success rate: for example ground systems. This presentation will discuss opportunities and concerns about using UAS in the fight against poaching of rhinos and other wildlife.

Convergence of Vector Spherical Wave Expansion Method Applied to Near-Field Radiative Transfer

description: Near-field radiative transfer between two objects can be computed using Rytov’s theory of fluctuational electrodynamics in which the strength of electromagnetic sources is related to temperature through the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, and the resultant energy transfer is described using the dyadic Green’s function of the vector Helmholtz equation. When the two objects are spheres, the dyadic Green’s function can be expanded in a series of vector spherical waves. Based on comparison with the convergence criterion for the case of radiative transfer between two parallel surfaces, we derive a relation for the number of vector spherical waves required for convergence in the case of radiative transfer between two spheres. We show that when electromagnetic surface waves are active at a frequency the number of vector spherical waves required for convergence is proportional to Rmax /d when d/Rmax → 0, where Rmax is the radius of the larger sphere, and d is the smallest gap between the two spheres. This criterion for convergence applies equally well to other near-field electromagnetic scattering problems.

description: We review recent progress in the investigation of the electroexcitation of nucleon resonances, both in experiment and in theory. The most accurate results have been obtained for the electroexcitation amplitudes of the four lowest excited states, which have been measured in a range of Q2 up to 8 and 4.5 GeV2 for the Delta(1232)P33, N(1535)S11 and N(1440)P11, N(1520)D13}, respectively. These results have been confronted with calculations based on lattice QCD, large-Nc relations, perturbative QCD (pQCD), and QCD-inspired models. The amplitudes for the Delta(1232) indicate large pion-cloud contributions at low Q2 and don't show any sign of approaching the pQCD regime for Q2<7 GeV2. Measured for the first time, the electroexcitation amplitudes of the Roper resonance, N(1440)P11, provide strong evidence for this state as a predominantly radial excitation of a three-quark (3q) ground state, with additional non-3-quark contributions needed to describe the low Q2 behavior of the amplitudes. The longitudinal transition amplitude for the N(1535)S11 was determined and has become a challenge for quark models. Explanations may require large meson-cloud contributions or alternative representations of this state. The N(1520)D13 clearly shows the rapid changeover from helicity-3/2 dominance at the real photon point to helicity-1/2 dominance at Q2 > 0.5 GeV2, confirming a long-standing prediction of the constituent quark model. The interpretation of the moments of resonance transition form factors in terms of transition transverse charge distributions in infinite momentum frame is presented.

Bayesian variable selection regression for genome-wide association studies and other large-scale problems

description: We consider applying Bayesian Variable Selection Regression, or BVSR, to genome-wide association studies and similar large-scale regression problems. Currently, typical genome-wide association studies measure hundreds of thousands, or millions, of genetic variants (SNPs), in thousands or tens of thousands of individuals, and attempt to identify regions harboring SNPs that affect some phenotype or outcome of interest. This goal can naturally be cast as a variable selection regression problem, with the SNPs as the covariates in the regression. Characteristic features of genome-wide association studies include the following: (i) a focus primarily on identifying relevant variables, rather than on prediction; and (ii) many relevant covariates may have tiny effects, making it effectively impossible to confidently identify the complete "correct" subset of variables. Taken together, these factors put a premium on having interpretable measures of confidence for individual covariates being included in the model, which we argue is a strength of BVSR compared with alternatives such as penalized regression methods. Here we focus primarily on analysis of quantitative phenotypes, and on appropriate prior specification for BVSR in this setting, emphasizing the idea of considering what the priors imply about the total proportion of variance in outcome explained by relevant covariates. We also emphasize the potential for BVSR to estimate this proportion of variance explained, and hence shed light on the issue of "missing heritability" in genome-wide association studies.
