Caring for people diagnosed with borderline personality disorder : a discourse analysis with nurses
Creators: name: Wensink, Lisa Rachel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: People who are diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) experience mood changes, idealization, devaluation of others, and are prone to lives that are chaotic. Clinicians who provide care for people with the diagnosis often have uncomfortable feelings such as frustration, anger and irritation. Nurses report having negative thoughts and emotions and struggle with identifying appropriate treatment options. This study used discourse analysis and the researcher’s feminist lens of her experience as a nurse on understanding the societal and medical influences on perceptions of BPD. Registered Nurses (RN’s) and Registered Psychiatric Nurses (RPN’s) working on acute in-patient mental health units in the province of British Columbia, Canada were interviewed to discover discourses underlying nursing work with people diagnosed with BPD. Four major discourses informing nurses’ practice are: Power, Safety, Biomedical, and Caring. Nurse participant recommendations for change action include: BPD education for nurses and healthcare professionals, on-going support for ethical challenges within nursing practice, and improved community resources. This study will inform changes in practice and policy for improved care and health outcomes for people diagnosed with BPD and identify areas of further inquiry for mental health nurses. This can help health care providers identify potentially discriminatory practice and illuminate possibilities for health system change.

description: In this paper we motivate and study the possibility of an intuitionistic quantum logic. An explicit investigation of the application of the theory of Bruns and Lakser on distributive hulls on traditional quantum logic (as suggested in [Coe]) leads us to a small modification of this scheme. In this way we obtain a weak Heyting algebra (cf. [CJ]) for describing the language of quantum mechanics.

description: The prevailing net-centric environment demands and enables modeling and simulation to combine efforts from numerous disciplines. Software techniques and methodology, in particular service-oriented architecture, provide such an opportunity. Service-oriented simulation has been an emerging paradigm following on from object- and process-oriented methods. However, the ad-hoc frameworks proposed so far generally focus on specific domains or systems and each has its pros and cons. They are capable of addressing different issues within service-oriented simulation from different viewpoints. It is increasingly important to describe and evaluate the progress of numerous frameworks. In this paper, we propose a novel three-dimensional reference model for a service-oriented simulation paradigm. The model can be used as a guideline or an analytic means to find the potential and possible future directions of the current simulation frameworks. In particular, the model inspects the crossover between the disciplines of modeling and simulation, service-orientation, and software/systems engineering. Based on the model, we present a comprehensive survey on several classical service-oriented simulation frameworks, including formalism-based, model-driven, interoperability protocol based, eXtensible Modeling and Simulation Framework (XMSF), and Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA) based frameworks etc. The comparison of these frameworks is also performed. Finally the significance both in academia and practice are presented and future directions are pointed out.

description: The Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) contains a 3.5-GeV storage ring serving as a national X-ray synchrotron radiation user facility characterized by a low emittance and a low coupling. The stability and quality of the electron beams are monitored continuously by an array of diagnostics. In particular, an X-ray pinhole camera is employed in the diagnostics beamline of the ring to characterize the position, size, and emittance of the beam. The performance of the measurement of the transverse electron beam size is given by the width of the point spread function (PSF) of the X-ray pinhole camera. Typically the point spread function of the X-ray pinhole camera is calculated via analytical or numerical method. In this paper we will introduce a new beam based calibration method to derive the width of the PSF online.

Year: 2022

description: This article investigates whether an existing process modelling notation - the Parallel Activity Specification Scheme (PASS) - can support the digitalisation of manufacturing processes. In particular, four aspects are examined that have previously been claimed to be benefits of the PASS notation: ease of modelling, distributed modelling, incremental change, and IT integration. This is done by analysing three digital transformation projects in the manufacturing industry. The projects included the analysis and improvement of cross-department value streams, the introduction of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) on the shopfloor, and the specification of a new Manufacturing Execution System (MES). The ways in which PASS was used and whether it was able to provide its claimed benefits are presented and analysed.

Investigating the Effect of Management on Agricultural Organic Nitrogen Cycling and Alternative Nitrification Pathways
Creators: name: Houde, Alyssa Wellman
Publisher: name: Digital Repository at the University of Maryland
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Soil sciences

description: This project studied the influence of agricultural management strategies (such as tillage and fertilizer choice) on nitrogen (N) cycling pathways. Soil samples and leachate samples from a series of experimental plots at the Wye Research and Education Center were analyzed using a combination of traditional chemical N measures (DON, PMN, NOx, NH3, TN, and microbial biomass C & N) and novel mass spectrometry techniques (FT-ICR-MS) to characterize shifts in organic matter composition and quantity over time and under three different cover cropping regimes. Analysis of these samples indicate that the DOM (dissolved organic matter) composition of leachate changed significantly with increasing sampling depth. However further research is needed to fully investigate the potential impacts of cover cropping and time on soil and leached DOM and DON. Soil samples were also collected at the Farming Systems Project in Beltsville, MD and at several of the University of Minnesota’s Outreach farms. These samples were analyzed for their abundance of 16S, nirK, nirS, nxrA, and amoA AOB to characterize the nitrifying and denitrifying microbial communities under a combination of management strategies. While the findings were not significant, they indicate that fertilization and tillage may have an impact on the nitrification and denitrification communities.

Subjects: subject: Robotics
subject: Piezoelectricity
subject: Soft Robot

description: The twenty-first century has seen a tremendous rise in electronic devices. However, this rise comes with a cost in energy. Researchers have been exploring alternate energy sources to replace traditional energy sources like batteries for the past two decades. Piezoelectricity is one of the less used alternate sources, which converts vibration energy into electricity. This thesis explores the energy harvested by piezoelectric devices from the movement of a soft robot. The energy harvested can recharge the power source that runs the robot. A model derived from the lumped-parameter model of piezoelectricity is developed for connected piezoelectric devices. This model is used to calculate the amount of energy generated from movements of the soft robot, like stretching and rotation. This thesis also highlights the stability and limitations of the proposed model.

description: Orbital degrees of freedom shape many of the properties of a wide class of Mott insulating, transition metal oxides with partially filled 3d-shells. Here we study orbital ordering transitions in systems where a single electron occupies the e_g orbital doublet and the spatially highly anisotropic orbital interactions can be captured by an orbital-only model, often called the 120 degree model. Our analysis of both the classical and quantum limits of this model in an extended parameter space shows that the 120 degree model is in close proximity to several T=0 phase transitions and various competing ordered phases. We characterize the orbital order of these nearby phases and their associated thermal phase transitions by extensive numerical simulations and perturbative arguments.

description: The tradition of North American taiko drumming has been rife with discussion on gender passed down from its Japanese origin. It is known that women, and even more so Asian American women, feel empowered performing taiko. Despite this feeling of empowerment, there has been minimal leadership roles held by female taiko players, roles such as: solo artists, workshop leaders, and composers. Women are also left out of the mainstream narrative of taiko drumming, which centers on masculine performance and performance styles. A coalition formed and launched the Women and Taiko movement—dedicated to solving these issues through webinars and by enhancing the visibility of female leadership. This movement expanded, including the first all-female, professional level taiko performance and women-created compositions. This thesis discusses this movement as a social movement that seeks to disrupt gendered systems of power and embodied knowledge through pragmatic solutions formed through discussions and by performance.

description: Constraining ages of surface features on rocky objects in the Solar System provides fundamental insights about the flux of impactors through time (including the putative Late Heavy Bombardment), rates of tectonic and volcanic processes, and temporal context for detected organic compounds. Spaceflight instrumentation is being developed to characterize these ages in situ. An LA-ICPMS is suggested as a candidate for a planetary chronology mission, with Mars as a case study; the capability of the technique to measure Rb and Sr isotopic signatures in geological samples with adequate accuracy within the 200 Myr (2σ) precision benchmark presented in NASA’s Technology Roadmap is tested. Data are presented that reports on these metrics for 87Sr/86Sr ratios, and a Monte Carlo simulation models synthetic isochrons to evaluate the accuracy and precision limitations of this method. A minimum of 10 data points per sample is suggested to meet the NASA benchmark.

Ammonia emissions and dry deposition from broiler barns in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia
Creators: name: Seeton, Daniel Edward
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Ammonia emissions from commercial broiler operations have been noted as one of the potential contributors to the nitrate contamination of the Abbotsford-Sumas aquifer in southwestern British Columbia (BC). The localized dry deposition of this emitted ammonia was of special interest and had not been measured in any comparable climate. Three barns, on two farms, located on the aquifer were assessed from July 2011 to June 2012. Ventilation, emission, and deposition samples were taken weekly throughout the seasons to accurately characterize the impact on the local environment. Ventilation was measured using a Fan Assessment Numeration System and timers that recorded individual fan activity. Acid impinger traps were used to measure the ammonia emitted by the sidewall fans. A methodology for measuring dry deposition by exposing air-dried soil was modified to use small Petri dishes and a 24-hr exposure time. The modified dry deposition method was found to be robust and effective for the requirements of this study. Dishes of soil were placed 2.1 and 3.6 m in front of and between each fan, as well as around the barns and farm properties. Ventilation rates for the barns were significantly and positively correlated with bird age and exterior temperature. Ammonia emissions were correlated with bird age and the emission factors for the three barns ranged from 0.19-0.37 g NH₃ bird-¹ day-¹ with annual ammonia emissions for each barn reaching 600 to 815 kg NH₃. Dry deposition levels on the two farms exceeded 50 kg NH₃ annually although this accounted for less than 10% of the ammonia emitted. The deposition levels were highest near the barns and were concentrated directly under the sidewall fan hoods. These levels of ammonia show significant potential to cause nitrate to leach into the groundwater and further contaminate the aquifer but future work and upscaling of data collection are needed.

description: The composition of goat cheese was evaluated over a 12-month period to evaluate the influence of seasonal variation in goats’ milk composition on variation in yield and composition of cheeses. Milk analysis included total fat, nonfat solids, and total protein. Yield was significantly correlated with milk composition. Cheese analysis included moisture content, water activity, crude lipid content, and ash content. Goat’s milk was found to have significant variation in all parameters between seasons, with peak content in winter months. Significant differences were found in the compositions of cheeses, although not all followed the seasonal trends observed in milk. Correlations between milk and cheese compositions were evaluated but not found to be significant. Finally, an in-house environmental monitoring plan for Listeria spp. was evaluated using Hygiena® swabs. The in-house method was accurate in 78% of samples with no instances of false negatives.

Using the PALS Architecture to Verify a Distributed Topology Control Protocol for Wireless Multi-Hop Networks in the Presence of Node Failures
Creators: name: Katelman, Michael

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Logic in Computer Science (cs.LO)

description: The PALS architecture reduces distributed, real-time asynchronous system design to the design of a synchronous system under reasonable requirements. Assuming logical synchrony leads to fewer system behaviors and provides a conceptually simpler paradigm for engineering purposes. One of the current limitations of the framework is that from a set of independent "synchronous machines", one must compose the entire synchronous system by hand, which is tedious and error-prone. We use Maude's meta-level to automatically generate a synchronous composition from user-provided component machines and a description of how the machines communicate with each other. We then use the new capabilities to verify the correctness of a distributed topology control protocol for wireless networks in the presence of nodes that may fail.

description: Beginning from the assumption that we must learn to wonder as we wander, our writing here aims to advance theory and practice as they relate to walking. We understand walking as both an intentional physical activity and a curricular understanding of traversing with and through landscapes of topical relations in attunement with the Earth. We assume that insights gained through such attunement are accessed through deep consciousness of and presence with and, as such, we take up attunement in a variety of ways: spiritual (belonging in nature); intellectual (learning about relationships); physical (affecting the body); emotional (exploring love of nature); and imaginative (learning through creative engagement). Through critical, qualitative, creative, and arts-integrated approaches, we engage the praxis of living and being in relation.

description: We study anomaly mediation models with gauge mediation effects from messengers which have a general renormalizable mass matrix with a supersymmetry-breaking spurion. Our models lead to a rich structure of supersymmetry breaking terms in the visible sector. We derive sum rules among the soft scalar masses for each generation. Our sum rules for the first and second generations are the same as those in general gauge mediation, but the sum rule for the third generation is different because of the top Yukawa coupling. We find the parameter space where the tachyonic slepton problem is solved. We also explore the case in which gauge mediation causes the anomalously small gaugino masses. Since anomaly mediation effects on the gaugino masses exist, we can obtain viable mass spectrum of the visible sector fields.

description: Understanding the infrared emission of galaxies is critical to observational and theoretical investigations of the condensation of galaxies out of the intergalactic medium and the conversion of gas into stars over cosmic time. From an observational perspective, about half of all photons emitted within galaxies are locally absorbed by dust grains, necessitating a self-consistent analysis of the panchromatic emission of galaxies to quantify star-formation and AGN activity as a function of epoch and environment. From a theoretical perspective, physical processes involving dust are expected to play a major role in regulating the accumulation of baryons in galaxies and their condensation into stars on scales ranging from Mpc down to sub-pc. All this requires a quantitative analysis of the interaction between dust, gas and radiation. Here we review progress in the modelling of some of these processes.

description: We construct an effective chiral Lagrangian for hadrons implemented by the conformal invariance and discuss the properties of nuclear matter at high density. The model is formulated based on two alternative assignment, "naive" and mirror, of chirality to the nucleons. It is shown that taking the dilaton limit, in which the mended symmetry of Weinberg is manifest, the vector-meson Yukawa coupling becomes suppressed and the symmetry energy becomes softer as one approaches the chiral phase transition. This leads to softer equations of state (EoS) and could accommodate the EoS without any exotica consistent with the recent measurement of a $1.97 \pm 0.04\,M_\odot$ neutron star.

description: Research on secondhand electronic cigarette (ECIG) aerosol exposure using aerosol monitors has demonstrated that ECIG use can generate high concentrations of particulate matter (PM) and impact indoor air quality. However, quantifying indoor air PM concentrations using real-time optical monitors with on-site calibration specifically for different PM exposures has not been established. Therefore, the ECIG aerosol filter correction factors were calculated for different PM sizes (PM1, PM2.5, and PM10) and different aerosol optical monitors, the MiniWRAS, pDR, and SidePak. ECIG aerosol generation was achieved using five ECIGs representing three ECIG types, disposable, pod-mod, and box mod. The aerosol size distribution by mass was measured for the five ECIGs during PM generation. Compared to the discrete filter measurements, the MiniWRAS performed the best when the concentrations were low, followed by the pDR and SidePak. The average PM concentrations and correction factor ranges for the different ECIGs were 323–1,775 µg/m3 and 0.64–6.01 for the MiniWRAS, 1,388–13,365 µg/m3 and 0.41–0.80 for the pDR, and 4,632–55,339 µg/m3 and 0.13–0.20 for the SidePak, respectively. The mass median diameter ranged from 0.41 to 0.62 µm, and most particles generated from the ECIGs were smaller than 1 µm. This study demonstrates that aerosol size distribution varies between ECIGs. Likewise, the correction factors developed for the real-time aerosol monitors are specific to the ECIG used. Thus, these data can help improve ECIG aerosol exposure measurement accuracy.

description: We present the analysis of a kinematic data set of stars in the globular cluster NGC 2419, taken with Keck/DEIMOS. Combined with a reanalysis of deep HST and Subaru imaging data, which provide an accurate luminosity profile of the cluster, we investigate the validity of a large set of dynamical models of the system, which are checked for stability via N-body simulations. We find that isotropic models in either Newtonian or Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) are ruled out with extremely high confidence. However, a simple Michie model in Newtonian gravity with anisotropic velocity dispersion provides an excellent representation of the luminosity profile and kinematics. In contrast, with MOND we find that Michie models that reproduce the luminosity profile either over-predict the velocity dispersion on the outskirts of the cluster if the mass to light ratio is kept at astrophysically-motivated values, or else they under-predict the central velocity dispersion if the mass to light ratio is taken to be very small. We find that the best Michie model in MOND is a factor of 10000 less likely than the Newtonian model that best fits the system. A likelihood ratio of 350 is found when we investigate more general models by solving the Jeans equation with a Markov-Chain Monte Carlo scheme. We verified with N-body simulations that these results are not significantly different when the MOND external field effect is accounted for. If the assumptions that the cluster is in dynamical equilibrium, spherical, not on a peculiar orbit, and possesses a single dynamical tracer population of constant M/L are correct, we conclude that the present observations provide a very severe challenge for MOND.

Reclaiming our subjugated truths : using hip-hop as a form of decolonizing public pedagogy, the case of Didier Awadi
Creators: name: Da Sylva, Joanna Daguirane
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: When walking through the streets of Dakar, hip-hop makes its way through the radios of the city. Hip-hop has been a prominent and influential music genre and culture in Senegal since the 1980s. Hip-hop music has been used by Senegalese to cover the social, economic and political life of the country, and to promote political activism among the youth. Rapping was not born in a vacuum in Senegal but subtly continues the long-standing tradition of storytelling through spoken words and music, griotism. Moving away from hip-hop stereotypes, defined by critics as violent, racist, homophobic, sexist, materialistic, misogynistic and vulgar, my case study focuses on critical and conscious Senegalese hip-hop, which embraces hip-hop social and educational movements utilized to voice societal injustice and challenge the status quo. Senegalese hip-hop is a platform for political activists to denounce institutional racism, Western domination, poverty, and national corruption, with the hope of contributing to a better and just society that recognizes and legitimizes knowledges and voices of formerly colonized Africans. Didier Awadi is one of the most talented, conscientious, influential and revolutionary hip-hop artists and political activists of the continent. His motivation stands in the Burkinabé revolutionary Thomas Sankara, who became an icon for his statement: “dare to invent the future,” the motto for Didier Awadi’s record company Studio Sankara. In 2010, after five years of research, Didier Awadi released his ambitious multidisciplinary project Présidents d’Afrique to recount Africa’s political history and honor the founding fathers of Pan-Africanism, influential thinkers and scholars from Africa and the Diaspora. His timeless album Présidents d’Afrique uses hip-hop as a form of decolonization and public pedagogy that renders the contributions of Pan-African leaders visible to Africa and the world, contributions that have been continuously omitted, ignored, and vilified by mainstream History.

description: Biofuel combustion is an important source of particulate light absorbing organic carbon (OC), also known as brown carbon (BrC). We applied spectrophotometry to characterize methanol-extracted BrC from emission tests of ‘real-world’ biofuel combustion in India and Malawi, including wood stoves (‘traditional’, ‘improved’ and ‘chimney’) and artisanal charcoal kilns. Average mass absorption coefficient (MACbulk,λ) of extracted BrC was highest for ‘traditional’, followed by ‘improved’, ‘chimney’, and ‘charcoal’, at near-ultraviolet to blue wavelengths, with this order reversed for BrC absorption Angstrom exponent (AAE). MACbulk,λ in UV wavelengths was positively correlated with the elemental carbon to organic aerosol ratio (EC/OA), though the correlation was weaker than that observed in laboratory cookstove samples. BrC imaginary refractive indices (k) were anti-correlated with wavelength dependence (w), thus less wavelength dependent BrC had higher light absorptivity. MACbulk,λ correlated with the fraction of OC evolving at higher temperature steps in thermo-optical analysis, consistent with a link between BrC absorptivity and OC volatility, and suggesting that BrC absorption may be parameterized using existing OC data. Modeling analyses showed that BrC makes a strong contribution to overall absorption (average of 48% to 80% at 365 nm), and a strong negative correlation between EC/OA and the relative contribution of BrC to total aerosol (BrC + BC) light absorption; the latter trend is dominated by the quantity versus optical properties of BrC. The estimated direct radiative effect of BrC is approximately equal to that of BC for biofuel combustion emissions in India, highlighting the importance of BrC in the climate energy budget.

description: In this talk we discuss a purely numerical approach to next-to-leading order calculations in QCD. We present a simple formula, which provides a local infrared subtraction term for the integrand of a one-loop amplitude. In addition we briefly comment on local ultraviolet subtraction terms and on the required deformation of the contour of integration.

description: In this paper, we study efficient and reliable automatic extraction algorithm to find out the open space area from the high resolution urban satellite imagery, and to detect changes from the extracted open space area during the period 2003, 2006 and 2008. This automatic extraction and change detection algorithm uses some filters, segmentation and grouping that are applied on satellite images. The resultant images may be used to calculate the total available open space area and the built up area. It may also be used to compare the difference between present and past open space area using historical urban satellite images of that same projection, which is an important geo spatial data management application.

Structure and properties of complex transformation products in Nb/Mo-microalloyed steels
Creators: name: Reichert, Jennifer M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Advanced line pipe steels are microalloyed with Nb to promote the formation of complex microstructures leading to the required mechanical properties. In addition to its role during thermo-mechanical processing Nb in solution affects significantly the austenite decomposition kinetics and the resulting microstructure. A systematic study has been carried out to quantify the influence of Nb on the austenite decomposition in a commercial X80 line pipe steel containing 0.06C- 0.034Nb- 0.24Mo- 0.012Ti- 0.0005N (in wt. %) for a variety of austenite grain sizes and cooling rates that are relevant for the heat affected zone. To quantify the influence of Nb on transformation kinetics, two distinct amounts of Nb in solution were obtained through carefully designed reheat treatments prior to continuous cooling transformation tests conducted with a Gleeble 3500. The amount of Nb in solution was quantified based on ageing experiments. To investigate the combined influence of Nb and Mo on austenite decomposition two laboratory cast low-carbon steels containing 0.06 wt. % Nb and 0.045 wt. % Nb and 0.145 wt. % Mo, respectively, were compared with the X80 steel. The obtained transformation products include irregular ferrite, upper and lower bainite and martensite/ austenite. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) was used to distinguish upper and lower bainite based on their orientation relationship with the prior austenite and to quantify microstructural features which are relevant for the tensile properties. Based on the quantitative measures obtained from the EBSD analysis structure-property relationships were developed to predict the yield strength, uniform elongation and ultimate tensile strength of the studied X80 line pipe steel. An effective grain size was defined including martensite/ austenite to consider grain refinement and the kernel average misorientation was used to quantify dislocation strengthening. A phenomenological model was applied and modified to capture the austenite decomposition of the X80 steel considering the effect of prior austenite grain size, amount of Nb in solution and cooling rate. The amount of martensite/ austenite depends on the surrounding matrix microstructure and is predicted as a function of the transformation start temperature with an empirical fit.

description: We present the self-consistent treatment of the simplest, nontrivial, self-gravitating system of degenerate neutrons, protons and electrons in $β$-equilibrium within relativistic quantum statistics and the Einstein-Maxwell equations. The impossibility of imposing the condition of local charge neutrality on such systems is proved, consequently overcoming the traditional Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff treatment. We emphasize the crucial role of imposing the constancy of the generalized Fermi energies. A new approach based on the coupled system of the general relativistic Thomas-Fermi-Einstein-Maxwell equations is presented and solved. We obtain an explicit solution fulfilling global and not local charge neutrality by solving a sophisticated eigenvalue problem of the general relativistic Thomas-Fermi equation. The value of the Coulomb potential at the center of the configuration is $eV(0)\simeq m_πc^2$ and the system is intrinsically stable against Coulomb repulsion in the proton component. This approach is necessary, but not sufficient, when strong interactions are introduced.

description: In terrain mapping, there are so many ways to measure and estimate the terrain measurements like contouring, vertical profiling, hill shading, hypsometric tinting, perspective view, etc. Here in this paper we are using the contouring techniques to generate the contours for the different digital elevation data like DEM, HGT, IMG etc. The elevation data is captured in dem, hgt and img formats of the same projected area and the contour is generated using the existing techniques and applications. The exact differences, errors of elevation (contour) intervals, slopes and heights are analyzed and recovered.
