The development of neighbourhood in Kitsilano : ideas, actors and the landscape
Creators: name: Carr, Adriane Janice
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Kitsilano, a Vancouver inner-city neighbourhood is an intriguing place which has developed from a middle-class community of single-family homes to an area of apartments and condominiums attracting young singles and childless professionals. In its early years, a number of active resident groups promoted the development and solidarity of a family-oriented place. They appeared, to some degree, to have successfully challenged the activities of City Hall and real estate developers who were encouraging industrial, and high density residential land use. In later years, however, residents seemed to undermine their earlier goals by actively supporting residential upzoning. The primary objective of this thesis is to understand the apparently contradictory behaviour of these resident groups in the community development process. An understanding of behaviour lies, most fruitfully, in the probing of motivations which prompt action. Since these resident groups were intentionally involved with shaping the character of their local area, this thesis focuses its attention on their ideas of neighbourhood. In order to understand both the ideas and actions of residents more fully, a case study of one resident group - the Kitsilano Ratepayers' Association - provides the bulk of data. Extensive reference is made, however, to. other community associations.. The more detailed data sources which expose group ideology and behaviour include private group records and personal interviews. In order to allow the emergence of themes, data is examined inductively using content analysis methods which range from rigorous frequency counts to the more subjective noting of key quotes. Contextual information regarding the general process of community development is provided by archival materials, local newspapers, maps, census and school board records and city directories. The data suggest that two concepts of neighbourhood - communal and private - simultaneously underlay resident action, and that the community groups in Kitsilano appeared to focus the greatest effort on promoting their private ideals.

description: The electronic band structures of the LaOFeP superconductor have been calculated theoretically by the first principles method and measured experimentally by electron energy loss spectroscopy. The calculations indicate that the Fe atom in LaOFeP crystal shows a weak magnetic moment and does not form a long-range magnetic ordering. Band structure, Fermi surfaces and fluorine-doping effects are also analyzed based on the data of the density functional theory. The fine structures of the EELS data have been carefully examined in both the low loss energy region and the core losses region (O K, Fe L2,3, and La M4,5). A slight bump edge at 44 eV shows notable orientation-dependence: it can be observed in the low loss EELS spectra with q parallel to c, but becomes almost invisible in the q vertical to c spectra. Annealing experiments indicate that low oxygen pressure favors the appearance of superconductivity in LaOFeP, this fact is also confirmed by the changes of Fe L2,3 and O K excitation edges in the experimental EELS data.

description: Small aperture telescopes provide the opportunity to conduct high frequency, targeted observations of near-Earth Asteroids that are not feasible with larger facilities due to highly competitive time allocation requirements. Observations of asteroids with these types of facilities often focus on rotational brightness variations rather than longer-term phase angle dependent variations (phase curves) due to the difficulty of achieving high precision photometric calibration. We have developed an automated asteroid light curve extraction and calibration pipeline for images of moving objects from the 0.43 m Physics Innovations Robotic Telescope Explorer (PIRATE). This allows for the frequency and quality of observations required to construct asteroid phase curves. Optimisations in standard data reduction procedures are identified that may allow for similar small aperture facilities, constructed from commercially available/off-the-shelf components, to improve image and subsequent data quality. A demonstration of the hardware and software capabilities is expressed through observation statistics from a 10 month observing campaign, and through the photometric characterisation of near-Earth Asteroids 8014 (1990 MF) and 19764 (2000 NF5).

description: In Europa nimmt die Anzahl der Menschen, die an nicht oder nicht hinreichend erklärbaren Körperbeschwerden leiden, kontinuierlich zu. Es handelt sich des Öfteren um psychisch bedingte oder mitbedingte Pathologien, mit deren Erforschung und Behandlung sich der Fachbereich ‚psychosomatische Medizin und Psychotherapie‘ beschäftigt. Informell auch Psychosomatik genannt, hat die psychosomatische Medizin und Psychotherapie sämtliche Störungen zum Gegenstand, die im weitesten Sinne eine pathologische Interaktion von physischen und psychischen Zuständen implizieren. Interaktionen dieser Art lassen sich grob in zwei Kategorien unterteilen: ‚Somatopsychisch‘ sind diejenigen, die – metaphorisch gesprochen – überwiegend vom Körper zur Seele hinaufsteigen; ‚psychosomatisch‘ dagegen definiert im engeren Sinne die umgekehrte Richtung. Die häufigsten Erkrankungen der zweitgenannten Klasse bezeichnet man als ‚funktionelle‘ oder ‚somatoforme Störungen‘. Sie sind durch die oft schmerzhafte Beeinträchtigung der Funktion eines oder mehrerer Organe gekennzeichnet, ohne dass pathologische Befunde vorliegen. Von ihnen grenzt sich die seltener auftretende Gruppe der ‚Psychosomatosen‘ dadurch ab, dass in ihrem Fall auch Organläsionen festgestellt werden.
Using an innovative price model to leverage the business model – The case of price model innovation in the largest Swedish taxi company
Creators: name: Petri, Carl-Johan
Publisher: name: Journal of Business Models
Year: 2014

description: Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to describe how the biggest Swedish taxi company (Taxi Kurir) developed an innovative price model to leverage the business model.

Design/methodology/approach : The empirical data in the article describe Taxi Kurir’s development of a new price model. Data about the Swedish taxi market and about Taxi Kurir has been compiled though interviews and document studies. Detailed information about the background, development and implementation of Taxi Kurir’s new price model has been captured through interviews with representatives from Taxi Kurir.

Findings : Based on both the empirical example, and other investigations, we have found that a company can create substantial changes in their price model, by just changing some of its basic characteristics. A well designed price model can contribute to leveraging the intentions of the business model.

Practical implications : Most academic and practical texts about business models consider pricing to be an important component. However, they typically do not refer to the specifics of the price- or revenue models. According to the literature review in this paper, and the empirical findings, the configuration of a company’s price model should be aligned with its business model. This will contribute to leveraging the business model.

Originality/value: The Swedish taxi market is one of the most deregulated in the world. Differently from most other countries, any individual or company can start and operate a taxi business. This case offers a unique description on how the biggest company in the market responded to the competition by introducing a fundamentally new price model, by making a small change in one of the dimensions in their existing price model.

description: We consider the problem of optimizing hybrid structures (mixture of discrete and continuous input variables) via expensive black-box function evaluations. This problem arises in many real-world applications. For example, in materials design optimization via lab experiments, discrete and continuous variables correspond to the presence/absence of primitive elements and their relative concentrations respectively. The key challenge is to accurately model the complex interactions between discrete and continuous variables. In this paper, we propose a novel approach referred as Hybrid Bayesian Optimization (HyBO) by utilizing diffusion kernels, which are naturally defined over continuous and discrete variables. We develop a principled approach for constructing diffusion kernels over hybrid spaces by utilizing the additive kernel formulation, which allows additive interactions of all orders in a tractable manner. We theoretically analyze the modeling strength of additive hybrid kernels and prove that it has the universal approximation property. Our experiments on synthetic and six diverse real-world benchmarks show that HyBO significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.

description: We report on the first realization of time-dependent quantum detector tomography for commercially available InGaAs avalanche photo detectors. For the construction of appropriate time-dependent POVMs from experimentally measured data, we introduce a novel scheme to calculate the weight of the regularization term based on the amount of measured data. We compare our POVM-based results with the theoretical predictions of the previously developed model by Gouzien et al. In contrast to our measurement-based construction of a time-dependent POVM for photon detectors, this previous investigation extends a time-independent POVM to a time-dependent one by including effects of detector timing jitter and dead time on the basis of particular model assumptions concerning the inner physical mechanisms of a photon detector. Our experimental results demonstrate that this latter approach is not sufficient to completely describe the observable properties of our InGaAs avalanche photo detectors. Thus, constructing the time-dependent POVM of a detector by direct quantum tomographic measurements can reveal information about the detector's interior that may not easily be included in time-independent POVMs by a priori model assumptions.

Th ey can be separated from other small, narrow-winged moths by the presence of large spines on the dorsal surface of the metatibia. Th ey have a characteristic pose in which the hind legs are elevated. This family has been variously placed in the Yponomeutoidea or Copromorphoidea; it is likely allied with the Epermenioidea but its exact placement is unresolved (Dugdale et al. 1999). Larvae are external feeders on a number of plants. This is a small family (8 species, restricted to the Holarctic and Neotropical regions), with three species known in North America. One of these has been recently discovered in AB (Pohl et al. 2005). All three North American species were covered by Forbes (1923). 786 * R H Schreckensteinia festaliella Hübner, 1818 May – Jun m B g Blackberry Skeletonizer T: Forbes (1923) L: Pohl et al.

Transport of charged particles propagating in turbulent magnetic fields as a red-noise process

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The transport of charged particles in various astrophysical environments permeated by magnetic fields is described in terms of a diffusion process, which relies on diffusion-tensor parameters generally inferred from Monte-Carlo simulations. In this paper, a theoretical derivation of the diffusion coefficient in the case of a purely turbulent magnetic field is presented. The approach is based on a red-noise approximation to model the 2-pt correlation function of the magnetic field experienced by the particles between two successive times. This approach is shown to describe the regime in which the Larmor radius of the particles is in resonance with the wavelength power spectrum of the turbulence (gyro-resonant regime), extending hence previous results applying to the high-rigidity regime in which the Larmor radius is greater than the larger wavelength of the turbulence. The results are shown to be consistent with those obtained with a Monte-Carlo generator. Although not considered in this study, the presence of a mean field on top of the turbulence is discussed.

description: Limited expert time is a key bottleneck in medical imaging. Due to advances in image classification, AI can now serve as decision-support for medical experts, with the potential for great gains in radiologist productivity and, by extension, public health. However, these gains are contingent on building and maintaining experts' trust in the AI agents. Explainable AI may build such trust by helping medical experts to understand the AI decision processes behind diagnostic judgements. Here we introduce and evaluate explanations based on Bayesian Teaching, a formal account of explanation rooted in the cognitive science of human learning. We find that medical experts exposed to explanations generated by Bayesian Teaching successfully predict the AI's diagnostic decisions and are more likely to certify the AI for cases when the AI is correct than when it is wrong, indicating appropriate trust. These results show that Explainable AI can be used to support human-AI collaboration in medical imaging.

description: Recently, Hawking radiation from a $4-$dimensional linear dilaton black hole solution to Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton (EMD) theory, via a method of computing exactly the semi-classical radiation, has been derived by Cl\U{e9}ment, et al. Their results show that, whenever solution is available to the massless scalar wave equation, an exact computation of the radiation spectrum leads to the Hawking temperature $T_{H}$. We apply the same method to derive Hawking radiation spectrum for higher dimensional linear dilaton black holes in the Einstein-Yang-Mills-Dilaton (EYMD) and Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton (EMD) theories. Our results show that the radiation with high frequencies for these massive black holes reveal some remarkable information about the $T_{H}$.

It is shown that the group of similarity rotations contains the coincidence rotations as a normal subgroup. Furthermore, the structure of the corresponding factor group is examined. If the dimension d is a prime number, this factor group is an elementary Abelian d-group. Moreover, if L is a rational lattice, the factor group is trivial (d odd) or an elementary Abelian 2-group (d even).

description: We present the first PSP-observed CME that hits a second spacecraft before the end of the PSP encounter, providing an excellent opportunity to study short-term CME evolution. The CME was launched from the Sun on 10 October 2019 and was measured in situ at PSP on 13 October 2019 and at STEREO-A on 14 October 2019. The small, but not insignificant, radial (~0.15 au) and longitudinal (~8 deg) separation between PSP and STEREO-A at this time allows for observations of both short-term radial evolution as well as investigation of the global CME structure in longitude. Although initially a slow CME, magnetic field and plasma observations indicate that the CME drove a shock at STEREO-A and also exhibited an increasing speed profile through the CME (i.e. evidence for compression). We find that the presence of the shock and other compression signatures at 1 au are due to the CME having been overtaken and accelerated by a high speed solar wind stream (HSS). We estimate the minimum interaction time between the CME and the HSS to be about 2.5 days, indicating the interaction started well before the CME arrival at PSP and STEREO-A. Despite alterations of the CME by the HSS, we find that the CME magnetic field structure is similar between the vantage points, with overall the same flux rope classification and the same field distortions present. These observations are consistent with the fact that coherence in the magnetic structure is needed for steady and continued acceleration of the CME.

description: In the framework of Left-Right symmetric model, we investigate an interesting scenario, in which the so-called VEV seesaw problem can be naturally solved with Z_2 symmetry. In such a scenario, we find a pair of stable weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), which may be the cold dark matter candidates. However, the WIMP-nucleon cross section is 3-5 orders of magnitude above the present upper bounds from the direct dark matter detection experiments for $m \sim 10^2-10^4 $ GeV. As a result, the relic number density of two stable particles has to be strongly suppressed to a very small level. Nevertheless, our analysis shows that this scenario can't provide very large annihilation cross sections so as to give the desired relic abundance except for the resonance case. Only for the case if the rotation curves of disk galaxies are explained by the Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), the stable WIMPs could be as the candidates of cold dark matter.

description: The optimal fluctuation approach is applied to study the most distant (non-universal) tails of the free-energy distribution function P(F) for an elastic string (of a large but finite length L) interacting with a quenched random potential. A further modification of this approach is proposed which takes into account the renormalization effects and allows one to study the most close (universal) parts of the tails. The problem is analyzed for different dimensions of a space in which the polymer is imbedded. In terms the stochastic growth problem, the same distribution function describes the distribution of heights in the regime of a non-stationary growth in a situation when an interface starts to grow from a flat configuration.

Modeling the system as a Bose-Hubbard model, we show how the driving field can be used to produce and maintain a coherent atomic current by controlling the phase of the intersite tunneling processes. We investigate both the stroboscopic and time-averaged behavior using Floquet theory, and demonstrate that this procedure provides a stable and precise method of controlling coherent quantum systems.

Zhong-shan phonology : a synchronic and diachronic analysis of a Yue (Cantonese) dialect
Creators: name: Chan, Marjorie K. M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Zhong-shan is a county in Kwangtung Province in southern China. What is normally referred to as the "Zhong-shan dialect" is the speech of Shi-qi, the administrative centre for the county. For the present thesis, data were collected from native Zhong-shan speakers from Shi-qi and neighbouring villages where the speech can be equated with the Shi-qi, Zhong-shan dialect. The data elicited consist of two main types: (1) colloquial vocabulary, for which graphic representation (an the form of standard Chinese characters) do not exist, and (2) a lexicon based on the reading of a standard word list for Chinese dialect surveys (namely, the Fang-yan Diao-cha Zi-biao), which contains some 3,700 Chinese characters. The synchronic study, which used both sets of data, is based on an amalgamation of Western structuralist and Chinese (traditional and modern) approaches. For the diachronic study, the dialect survey list, arranged according to historical phonological categories, was indispensible. The diachronic study essentially mapped the pattern of correspondences of the dialect against the historical categories to which each word belonged. Against such a backdrop, it is possible to observe the development of a given dialect with respect not only to earlier strata of the Chinese language, but also to other modern Chinese dialects. Thus, in Zhong-shan, some features may reveal certain mergers with reference to a particular stratum of the language, whereas other features may show survivals of yet older distinctions. References to previous studies on the Zhong-shan dialect are also made when differences between (or among) data seem significant. Cross-dialectally, since the Cantonese dialect is the standard for the Yue dialect group to which Zhong-shan belongs, a comparison between Zhong-shan and Cantonese is made throughout the study. Other southern Chinese dialect groups, such as Min and Hakka, are also cited where relevant. The thesis itself is divided into two main parts: the first part is the synchronic study, and the second part the diachronic analysis. In order that the thesis may better serve future research endeavours, both the colloquial lexicon and the lexicon of character readings are included: the colloquial data appear . at the end of Part I, while the dialect word list occurs at the end of Part II. The reading of the characters is recorded directly onto the format of the Fang-yan Diao-cha Zi-biao that the Chinese Linguistics Project at Princeton had prepared expressly for fieldwork purposes. Immediately following the dialect survey material is an index to the dialect material. The index is likewise prepared by the Chinese Linguistics Project, with, the words arranged according to Pin-yin romanization.

The metabolic biochemistry of the wandering shrew (Sorex vagrans)
Creators: name: Emmett, Brian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The comparative examination of the metabolism of the shrew, Sorex vagrans, at the ultrastructural, mitochondrial and enzymatic level has revealed a number of consistent factors which correlate with the high basal metabolic rate of these mammals. The metabolic picture which emerges is of an organism highly dependent on aerobic metabolism, utilizing lipid or fatty acids as a primary energy source. This appears particularly true for skeletal muscle which, in larger mammals, may be fueled primarily by glycogen and depend more upon anaerobic metabolism at high work loads. Ultrastructural studies reveal that the diaphragm and gastrocnemius muscle are composed of small diameter fibers, associated with an abundance of peripheral and interfibrillar mitochondria. These typical red fibers are considered to operate aerobically, either in a fast or slow twitch fashion. Levels of oxidative (citrate synthase, fumarase β-OH butyrylCoA dehydrogenase) enzymes are elevated with respect to the rat in heart, liver and gastrocnemius muscle while glycolytic enzymes (glycogen phos-phorylase, PK, LDH) are depressed in all tissues but heart which has PK and LDH activities comparable to rat heart. No large differences were observed in the absolute rates or substrate preferences of shrew and rat cardiac mitochondria but enzymatic profiles of these organelles ..show increased activities of citrate synthase and β-OH butyrylCoA dehydrogenase in shrew mitochondria. This may indicate intrinsic differences between shrew and rat cardiac mitochondria, the physiological consequences of which remain to be elucidated. Glycogen is relatively scarce in shrew tissues and, although present in liver, does not form typical mammalian liver α-rosettes. The low levels of phosphorylase in the tissues assayed indicate that the shrew has a reduced ability to metabolize this substrate. In contrast lipid stores appear abundant in all tissues examined. In the gastrocnemius muscle of a series of seven mammals ranging in size from 0.004 to 400 kg., the activities of oxidative enzymes scale with respect to body mass with similar exponents as the scaling of maximal oxygen consumption (VO₂max/M[sub b]). In contrast levels of glycolytic enzymes increase as body size increases, indicating that burst anaerobic work is functionally more important in larger mammals.
Towards an education approach à la finlandaise? French education policy after PISA

description: In this article, we address whether international student comparisons have changed the dynamics of French secondary education policy. We focus on the increasingly signiﬁcant impact of the Organization for Economic Cooperation Development (OECD)’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) on France, a country previously known for its aversion to international comparisons and its turbulent relationship with the OECD. We argue that not only are transnational pressures – in our study the perception of PISA – crucial determinants for the fate of potential reform measures, but also the capacity of the state to transform its education system and take corrective measures. Along these lines, we also examine the role of historically embedded guiding principles of education, in the French case most notably that of equality (égalité). We focus, in particular, on efforts of French policy-makers to emulate elements of the recent ‘PISA champion’ Finland.

description: This research paper investigates the level of awareness of Human Rights among higher education students in Gujarat, India, focusing on two main objectives: To study the level of awareness of Human Rights among male and female students of higher education and to study the level of awareness of human rights among university students belonging to rural and urban areas. Data was collected from students at the Central University of Gujarat, with statistical analyses conducted to examine the awareness levels. Through an analysis of male (49.19%) female (50.81%) differences and difference between students from rural (50.35%) and urban (49.65%) backgrounds, have been gained. These findings contribute to our understanding that efforts to promote Human Rights education in higher education institutions in Gujarat have reached a level where gender and locality are not significant determinants of awareness.

On the effect of slip transfer at grain boundaries on the strength of FCC polycrystals

description: The effect of slip transfer on the flow strength of various FCC polycrystals was analyzed by means of computational homogenization of a representative volume element of the microstructure. The crystal behavior was governed by a physically-based crystal plasticity model in the framework of finite strains where slip transfer at grain boundaries was allowed between slip systems suitably oriented according to geometrical criteria. Conversely, slip transfer was blocked if the conditions for slip transfer were not fulfilled, leading to the formation of dislocation pile-ups. All the model parameters for each material were identified from either dislocation dynamics simulations or experimental data from the literature. Slip transfer led to a reduction in the flow stress of the polycrystals (as compared with the simulations with opaque grain boundaries) which was dependent on the fraction of translucent and transparent grain boundaries in the microstructure. Moreover, dislocation densities and Von Mises stresses were much higher around opaque grain boundaries, which become suitable places for damage nucleation. Finally, predictions of the Hall-Petch effect in Al, Ni, Cu and Ag polycrystals including slip transfer were in better agreement with the literature results, as compared with predictions assuming that all grain boundaries are opaque, particularly for small grain sizes ($
