To manage future green spaces on campus and adopt to the changing climate, the Social Ecological Economic Development Studies (SEEDS) program of the University of British Columbia (UBC) organized a series of projects to predict the climate suitability (occurrence probability) of some common tree species existing at the UBC Vancouver campus by 2100. With a generally low climate suitability, coniferous trees are more vulnerable to the change of precipitation and temperature, and climate change is threatening the growth of coniferous trees in British Columbia, Canada. Western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) is a common coniferous tree species occurring at UBC Vancouver campus and was chosen to be analyzed in this study. The analysis of climate suitability was done using a MaxEnt model. As a machine-learning algorithm not requiring data about absent points, MaxEnt is considered to be a good tool for predicting the distribution of species. There were 19 bioclimatic variables tested in the analysis, and the precipitation in the coldest quarter of the year was determined to be the most important climatic variable affecting the growth of Western hemlock. The results showed that the occurrence probability of Western hemlock would drop from its current ~87% to ~10% under one of the most likely climate models in 2100. Although this result could not represent the real occurrence probability of Western hemlock by the end of the century due to the limited data and variables considered (climate only), this study provided a reference for future climate suitability analysis at UBC Vancouver campus of other tree species and could potentially help with the protection of existing Western hemlock at the campus.
In a previous paper using Gaia DR2 data, we demonstrated that the two closely situated open clusters Collinder 135 and UBC 7 might have formed together about 50Myr ago. In this work, we performed star-by-star dynamical modelling of the evolution of the open clusters Collinder 135 and UBC 7 from their supposed initial state to their present-day state, reproducing observational distributions of members. Modelling of the Collinder 135 and UBC 7 dynamical evolution was done using the high-order parallel N-body code phi-GPU with up-to-date stellar evolution. Membership and characteristics of the clusters were acquired based on Gaia DR3 data. The comparison of the present-day radial cumulative star count obtained from the N-body simulations with the current observational data gave us full consistency of the model with observational data, especially in the central 8 pc, where 80% of the stars reside. The proper motion velocity components obtained from the N-body simulations of the stars are also quite consistent with the observed distributions and error bars. These results show that our numerical modelling is able to reproduce the open clusters' current complex 6D observed phase-space distributions with a high level of confidence. Thus, the model demonstrates that the hypothesis of a common origin of Collinder 135 and UBC 7 complies with present-day observational data.

Obtaining reliable predictions of the subsurface will provide a critical advantage for explorers seeking mineral deposits at depth and beneath cover. A common approach in achieving this goal is to use deterministic property-based inversion of potential field data to predict a 3D subsurface distribution of physical properties that explain measured gravity or magnetic data. The non-uniqueness of inversions of potential field data mandates careful and consistent parameterization of the problem to ensure realistic solutions. Including all prior geological knowledge as constraints on the inversion also helps ensure that the recovered predictions are consistent with both the geophysical data and the geological knowledge.
We review how potential field inversions are best applied for mineral exploration problems using the UBC-GIF inversion algorithms. We use examples to emphasise the importance of mesh design and applying appropriate data processing, and identify the approach for defining key parameters such as data uncertainty, potential field weighting functions, and numerical parameters that approximate prior geological knowledge of in situ trends, geometries and properties. Consistent application of these techniques will ensure the most reliable predictive physical property models for explorers.

The variables contained in the data sets are primarily concerned with perinatal outcomes and maternal health. A number of variables with respect to the social and economic status of the mothers and their families were also included (ie. Occupation, Marital status, Region). While all nine data sets are centered around these common themes and hold many variables in common, each data set has a unique combination of variables. The types of fields are wide-ranging but are primarily concerned with infant birth, maternal health, and socioeconomic status.

Recurrent mutations in noncoding regions affecting gene regulatory elements and structural variations leading to gene disruptions are prevalent in this type of cancer.
Introduction Concretely Annotated New York Times was developed by Johns Hopkins University’s Human Language Technology Center of Excellence. It adds multiple kinds and instances of automatically-generated syntactic, semantic and coreference annotations to The New York Times Annotated Corpus (LDC2008T19). Concrete is a schema for representing structured, hierarchical and overlapping linguistic annotations. This release provides multiple tool outputs producing the same annotation types as different annotation theories under a shared tokenization. Data Concretely Annotated New York Times contains all of the 1.8 million articles in The New York Times Annotated Corpus. Those articles were written and published by the New York Times between January 1, 1987 and June 19, 2007; the 2008 corpus also includes metadata provided by the New York Times Newsroom, the New York Times Indexing Service and the online production staff at nytimes.com. The following layers of annotation were added by processing the articles under the Concrete schema: Segmented sentences and Penn Treebank-style tokenized words Treebank-style constituent parse trees Four different syntactic dependency trees Named entities Part of speech tags Lemmas In-document entity coreference chains Three different frame semantic parses See analytics.pdf for the list of tools used to create those annotations. The data is stored in a binary form called Concrete, which is based on Apache Thrift. Concrete can be read and written in many common programming languages, such as Java, Python, Javascript and C++. Concrete also includes a number of utilities to access and view the data in human-readable forms. The original NITF (News Industry Text Format) document structure in The New York Times Annotated Corpus was preserved in this Concrete version.

Housing Assessment Resource Tools (HART) This dataset contains 2 tables and 5 files which draw upon data from the 2021 Census of Canada. The tables are a custom order and contain data pertaining to older adults and housing need. The 2 tables have 6 dimensions in common and 1 dimension that is unique to each table. Table 1's unique dimension is the "Ethnicity / Indigeneity status" dimension which contains data fields related to visible minority and Indigenous identity within the population in private households. Table 2's unique dimension is "Structural type of dwelling and Period of Construction" which contains data fields relating to the structural type and period of construction of the dwelling. Each of the two tables is then split into multiple files based on geography. Table 1 has two files: Table 1.1 includes Canada, Provinces and Territories (14 geographies), CDs of NWT (6), CDs of Yukon (1) and CDs of Nunavut (3); and Table 1.2 includes Canada and the CMAs of Canada (44). Table 2 has three files: Table 2.1 includes Canada, Provinces and Territories (14), CDs of NWT (6), CDs of Yukon (1) and CDs of Nunavut (3); Table 2.2 includes Canada and the CMAs of Canada excluding Ontario and Quebec (20 geographies); and Table 2.3 includes Canada and the CMAs of Canada that are in Ontario and Quebec (25 geographies). The dataset is in Beyond 20/20 (.ivt) format. The Beyond 20/20 browser is required in order to open it. This software can be freely downloaded from the Statistics Canada website: https://www.statcan.gc.ca/eng/public/beyond20-20 (Windows only). For information on how to use Beyond 20/20, please see: http://odesi2.scholarsportal.info/documentation/Beyond2020/beyond20-quickstart.pdf https://wiki.ubc.ca/Library:Beyond_20/20_Guide Custom order from Statistics Canada includes the following dimensions and data fields: Geography: - Country of Canada as a whole - All 10 Provinces (Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island (PEI), Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia) as a whole - All 3 Territories (Nunavut, Northwest Territories, Yukon), as a whole as well as all census divisions (CDs) within the 3 territories - All 43 census metropolitan areas (CMAs) in Canada Data Quality and Suppression: - The global non-response rate (GNR) is an important measure of census data quality. It combines total non-response (households) and partial non-response (questions). A lower GNR indicates a lower risk of non-response bias and, as a result, a lower risk of inaccuracy. The counts and estimates for geographic areas with a GNR equal to or greater than 50% are not published in the standard products. The counts and estimates for these areas have a high risk of non-response bias, and in most cases, should not be released. - Area suppression is used to replace all income characteristic data with an 'x' for geographic areas with populations and/or number of households below a specific threshold. If a tabulation contains quantitative income data (e.g., total income, wages), qualitative data based on income concepts (e.g., low income before tax status) or derived data based on quantitative income variables (e.g., indexes) for individuals, families or households, then the following rule applies: income characteristic data are replaced with an 'x' for areas where the population is less than 250 or where the number of private households is less than 40. Source: Statistics Canada - When showing count data, Statistics Canada employs random rounding in order to reduce the possibility of identifying individuals within the tabulations. Random rounding transforms all raw counts to random rounded counts. Reducing the possibility of identifying individuals within the tabulations becomes pertinent for very small (sub)populations. All counts are rounded to a base of 5, meaning they will end in either 0 or 5. The random rounding algorithm controls the results and rounds the unit value of the count according to a predetermined frequency. Counts ending in 0 or 5 are not changed. Universe: Full Universe: Population aged 55 years and over in owner and tenant households with household total income greater than zero in non-reserve non-farm private dwellings. Definition of Households examined for Core Housing Need: Private, non-farm, non-reserve, owner- or renter-households with incomes greater than zero and shelter-cost-to-income ratios less than 100% are assessed for 'Core Housing Need.' Non-family Households with at least one household maintainer aged 15 to 29 attending school are considered not to be in Core Housing Need, regardless of their housing circumstances.
