description: The Tremaine-Weinberg equations are solved for a pattern speed that is allowed to vary with radius. The solution method transforms an integral equation for the pattern speed to a least squares problem with well established procedures for statistical analysis. The method applied to the HI spiral pattern of the barred, grand-design galaxy NGC 1365 produced convincing evidence for a radial dependence in the pattern speed. The pattern speed behaves approximately as 1/r, and is very similar to the material speed. There are no clear indications of corotation or Lindblad resonances. Tests show that the results are not selection biased, and that the method is not measuring the material speed. Other methods of solving the Tremaine-Weinberg equations for shearing patterns were found to produce results in agreement with those obtained using the current method. Previous estimates that relied on the assumptions of the density-wave interpretation of spiral structure are inconsistent with the results obtained using the current method. The results are consistent with spiral structure theories that allow for shearing patterns, and contradict fundamental assumptions in the density-wave interpretation that are often used for finding spiral arm pattern speeds. The spiral pattern is winding on a characteristic timescale of ~ 500 Myrs.

Selective laser arrest of antibody-producing cells to increase antibody production
Creators: name: Chiu, Jeffrey
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Monoclonal antibodies have become a dominant biopharmaceutical in recent years, with sales expected to exceed $125 billion by 2020. Antibody therapies have been used to treat a wide range of diseases including cancer, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis, with higher specificity and lower toxicity than other chemotherapeutics. The potential promise of antibody therapies has necessitated a significant need to develop improved production technologies in order to shorten the timelines for development, testing, and clinical trials. Modern methods of monoclonal antibody production involve transfecting an antibody gene expression cassette into a host cell line for production, where the cassette is randomly integrated into the genome. This random integration results in a heterogeneity between transduced cells, resulting in significant variability in antibody production rate within the cell population. Additional screening and selection processes are therefore needed to optimize the productivity of the antibody-producing cell line. While several strategies have been developed to select high-producing cell lines, each existing strategy suffers from problems such as long timelines, indirect selectivity, complex procedures, and proprietary processes. We developed a technology named Selective Laser Gelation (SLG) capable of selectively arresting the growth of individual target cells. This capability is enabled by localized gelation using an infrared laser to utilize the unique inverse solution-gel transition of methylcellulose solutions. Phase-transition hysteresis enables the retention of localized gels after the laser is removed. Methylcellulose solution limits the diffusion of secreted antibody from individual cells and small colonies, and when combined with a fluorescently-conjugated secondary antibody, the produced antibody can be visualized and quantified. This capability is then used to selectively preserve high antibody-producing cells while arresting the growth of low-producing cells. In this thesis, we first modeled the thermodynamics of laser heating on a methylcellulose solution. We then developed an experimental apparatus and software to test the SLG procedure, which we used to show that the SLG process can selectively inhibit the growth of selected cells. Finally, we use the SLG process to increase overall antibody productivity within a shorter timeline than current methods by selecting high-producing antibody-secreting cells.
Geometric motivic Poincaré series of quasi-ordinary singularities

description: The geometric motivic Poincaré series of a germ $(S,0)$ of complex algebraic variety takes into account the classes in the Grothendieck ring of the jets of arcs through $(S,0)$. Denef and Loeser proved that this series has a rational form. We give an explicit description of this invariant when $(S,0)$ is an irreducible germ of quasi-ordinary hypersurface singularity in terms of the Newton polyhedra of the logarithmic jacobian ideals. These ideals are determined by the characteristic monomials of a quasi-ordinary branch parametrizing $(S,0)$.

Confinement of the green alga C. reinhardtii in stabilized thin liquid films allows simultaneous tracking of cells and tracer particles. The measured velocity field reveals complex time-dependent flow structures, and scales inversely with distance. The instantaneous mechanical power generated by the cells is measured from the velocity fields and peaks at 15 fW. The dissipation per cycle is more than four times what steady swimming would require.

A Peculiar Velocity Pattern in and near the Leading Sunspot of NOAA 10781: Wave Refraction by Large-Scale Magnetic Fields?

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: I report observations of unusually strong photospheric and chromospheric velocity oscillations in and near the leading sunspot of NOAA 10781 on 03 July 2005. I investigate an impinging wave as a possible origin of the velocity pattern, and the changes of the wave after the passage through the magnetic fields of the sunspot. The wave pattern found consists of a wave with about 3 Mm apparent wavelength that propagates towards the sunspot. This wave seems to trigger oscillations inside the sunspot's umbra, which originate from a location inside the penumbra on the side of the impinging wave. The wavelength decreases and the velocity amplitude increases by an order of magnitude in the chromospheric layers inside the sunspot. On the side of the sunspot opposite to the impinging plane wave, circular wave fronts centered on the umbra are seen propagating away from the sunspot outside its outer white-light boundary. They lead to a peculiar ring structure around the sunspot, which is visible in both velocity and intensity maps. The fact that only weak photospheric velocity oscillations are seen in the umbra - contrary to the chromosphere where they peak there - highlights the necessity to include the upper solar atmosphere in calculations of wave propagation through spatially and vertically extended magnetic field concentrations like sunspots.

description: We establish correlations between equivalent widths of eight diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs), and examine their correlations with atomic hydrogen, molecular hydrogen, and EB-V . The DIBs are centered at λλ5780.5, 6204.5, 6283.8, 6196.0, 6613.6, 5705.1, 5797.1, and 5487.7, in decreasing order of Pearsonâs correlation coefficient with N(H) (here defined as the column density of neutral hydrogen), ranging from 0.96 to 0.82. We find the equivalent width of λ5780.5 is better correlated with column densities of H than with E(B-V) or H2, confirming earlier results based on smaller datasets. We show the same is true for six of the seven other DIBs presented here. Despite this similarity, the eight strong DIBs chosen are not well enough correlated with each other to suggest they come from the same carrier. We further conclude that these eight DIBs are more likely to be associated with H than with H2, and hence are not preferentially located in the densest, most UV shielded parts of interstellar clouds. We suggest they arise from different molecules found in diffuse H regions with very little H (molecular fraction f<0.01). Of the 133 stars with available data in our study, there are three with significantly weaker λ5780.5 than our mean H-5780.5 relationship, all of which are in regions of high radiation fields, as previously noted by Herbig. The correlations will be useful in deriving interstellar parameters when direct methods are not available. For instance, with care, the value of N(H) can be derived from Wλ(5780.5).

description: Device-independent quantum key distribution does not need a precise quantum mechanical model of employed devices to guarantee security. Despite of its beauty, it is still a very challenging experimental task. We compare a recent proposal by Gisin et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 070501 (2010)] to close the detection loophole problem with that of a simpler quantum relay based on entanglement swapping with linear optics. Our full-mode analysis for both schemes confirms that, in contrast to recent beliefs, the second scheme can indeed provide a positive key rate which is even considerably higher than that of the first alternative. The resulting key rates and required detection efficiencies of approx. 95% for both schemes, however, strongly depend on the underlying security proof.

description: Returning to Oxford as a graduate student during the pandemic has been a strange experience. Familiar faces and landmarks still anchor me to the city I love; yet in other ways, it appears alien. I miss the bustle of the city and some of the undergraduate friends who made it so lively. The next chapter of my life has begun, but - with no real celebration to mark the end of Finals, nor any graduation ceremony to say final goodbyes - the previous one has never felt fully closed. Inevitably, Oxmas has not been the same this year. We cannot congregate in chapel for the Carol Service, get overly merry at the college Christmas dinner, or belt out songs at Nepotists' Carols in Balliol hall. Nevertheless, my house has been determined to get into the Christmas spirit. Since mid-November, we have been blaring out Christmas tunes, crafting snowflake decorations, and watching awful Christmas films (and we've still got a vegan Christmas roast and Secret Santa to look forward to). Oxmas 2020 has been a genuinely lovely time which has proved to be a much-needed respite from the pandemic.
Across intermediate spatial scales, a specialist insect herbivore responds to climate and host plant size, not host density
Creators: name: West, Emily
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Herbivory can have important consequences for plant-population dynamics, causing changes in population growth rate, abundance, local expansion, spread and even the evolution of life history and defense traits. Studies at large spatial scales such as latitudinal gradients spanning the equatorial region to the poles, have yielded broad generalizations in patterns of herbivory. At local population scales, the effects of herbivory are often context specific, limiting extrapolation. Less described in the literature is whether patterns of herbivory manifest in between these two disparate spatial scales. At intermediate, regional scales, my research indicates that patterns of herbivory that manifest in local populations are obscured. Within a regional study area, in the southern interior of British Columbia, I found Mecinus janthiniformis, a stem mining weevil, did not respond to host plant (Linaria dalmatica) density across sites, but rather to host size. At 36 of the 39 sites sampled, herbivores were found to distribute themselves according to host plant density within populations. The direction of this effect however varied by site, resulting in no pattern at the regional scale. In conjunction with earlier research, my results suggest plant populations experiencing herbivory in different spatial patterns (i.e. more herbivory in high or low density patches) may result in different outcomes for plant population spread and persistence over time.
Evidence for Black Hole Growth in Local Analogs to Lyman Break Galaxies

description: We have used XMM-Newton to observe six Lyman Break Analogs (LBAs): members of the rare population of local galaxies that have properties that are very similar to distant Lyman Break Galaxies. Our six targets were specifically selected because they have optical emission-line properties that are intermediate between starbursts and Type 2 (obscured) AGN. Our new X-ray data provide an important diagnostic of the presence of an AGN. We find X-ray luminosities of order 10^{42} erg/s and ratios of X-ray to far-IR luminosities that are higher than values in pure starburst galaxies by factors ranging from ~ 3 to 30. This strongly suggests the presence of an AGN in at least some of the galaxies. The ratios of the luminosities of the hard (2-10 keV) X-ray to [O III]λ5007 emission-line are low by about an order-of-magnitude compared to Type 1 AGN, but are consistent with the broad range seen in Type 2 AGN. Either the AGN hard X-rays are significantly obscured or the [O III] emission is dominated by the starburst. We searched for an iron emission line at ~ 6.4 keV, which is a key feature of obscured AGN, but only detected emission at the ~ 2σlevel. Finally, we find that the ratios of the mid-infrared (24μm) continuum to [O III]λ5007 luminosities in these LBAs are higher than the values for Type 2 AGN by an average of 0.8 dex. Combining all these clues, we conclude that an AGN is likely to be present, but that the bolometric luminosity is produced primarily by an intense starburst. If these black holes are radiating at the Eddington limit, their masses would lie in the range of 10^5 to 10^6 M_{sun}. These objects may offer ideal local laboratories to investigate the processes by which black holes grew in the early universe.

Data driven auto-completion for keyframe animation
Creators: name: Xinyi, Zhang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Keyframing is the main method used by animators to choreograph appealing motions, but the process is tedious and labor-intensive. In this thesis, we present a data-driven autocompletion method for synthesizing animated motions from input keyframes. Our model uses an autoregressive two-layer recurrent neural network that is conditioned on target keyframes. Given a set of desired keys, the trained model is capable of generating a interpolating motion sequence that follows the style of the examples observed in the training corpus. We apply our approach to the task of animating a hopping lamp character and produce a rich and varied set of novel hopping motions using a diverse set of hops from a physics-based model as training data. We discuss the strengths and weaknesses of this type of approach in some detail.
Eastern Orthodox Christianity and American Higher Education: Theological, Historical, and Contemporary Reflections
Creators: name: Bezzerides, Ann Mitsakos
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2023

description: Over the last two decades, the American academy has engaged in a wide-ranging discourse on faith and learning, religion and higher education, and Christianity and the academy. Eastern Orthodox Christians, however, have rarely participated in these conversations. The contributors to this volume aim to reverse this trend by offering original insights from Orthodox Christian perspectives that contribute to the ongoing discussion about religion, higher education, and faith and learning in the United States. The book is divided into two parts. Essays in the first part explore the historical experiences and theological traditions that inform (and sometimes explain) Orthodox approaches to the topic of religion and higher education-in ways that often set them apart from their Protestant and Roman Catholic counterparts. Those in the second part problematize and reflect on Orthodox thought and practice from diverse disciplinary contexts in contemporary higher education. The contributors to this volume offer provocative insights into philosophical questions about the relevance and application of Orthodox ideas in the religious and secular academy, as well as cross-disciplinary treatments of Orthodoxy as an identity marker, pedagogical framework, and teaching and research subject.

description: We measure the renormalized effective mass (m*) of interacting two-dimensional electrons confined to an AlAs quantum well while we control their distribution between two spin and two valley subbands. We observe a marked contrast between the spin and valley degrees of freedom: When electrons occupy two spin subbands, m* strongly depends on the valley occupation, but not vice versa. Combining our m* data with the measured spin and valley susceptibilities, we find that the renormalized effective Lande g-factor strongly depends on valley occupation, but the renormalized conduction-band deformation potential is nearly independent of the spin occupation.

description: I derive simple non-local dynamic boundary conditions, suitable for modelling of radiation emission from stacked Josephson junctions, and employ them for analysis of flux-flow emission from intrinsic Josephson junctions in high-$T_c$ superconductors. It is shown that due to the lack of Lorenz contraction of fluxons in stacked junctions, high quality geometrical resonances are prerequisite for high power emission from the stack. This leads to a dual role of the radiative impedance: on the one hand, small impedance increases the efficiency of emission from the stack, on the other hand, enhanced radiative losses reduce the quality factor of geometrical resonances, which may decrease the total emission power. Therefore, the optimal conditions for the coherent flux-flow oscillator are achieved when radiative losses are comparable to resistive losses inside the stack.

description: We introduce a novel data-driven order reduction method for nonlinear control systems, drawing on recent progress in machine learning and statistical dimensionality reduction. The method rests on the assumption that the nonlinear system behaves linearly when lifted into a high (or infinite) dimensional feature space where balanced truncation may be carried out implicitly. This leads to a nonlinear reduction map which can be combined with a representation of the system belonging to a reproducing kernel Hilbert space to give a closed, reduced order dynamical system which captures the essential input-output characteristics of the original model. Empirical simulations illustrating the approach are also provided.

description: Fluctuations of the optical power incident on a photodiode can be converted into phase fluctuations of the resulting electronic signal due to nonlinear saturation in the semiconductor. This impacts overall timing stability (phase noise) of microwave signals generated from a photodetected optical pulse train. In this paper, we describe and utilize techniques to characterize this conversion of amplitude noise to phase noise for several high-speed (>10 GHz) InGaAs P-I-N photodiodes operated at 900 nm. We focus on the impact of this effect on the photonic generation of low phase noise 10 GHz microwave signals and show that a combination of low laser amplitude noise, appropriate photodiode design, and optimum average photocurrent is required to achieve phase noise at or below -100 dBc/Hz at 1 Hz offset a 10 GHz carrier. In some photodiodes we find specific photocurrents where the power-to-phase conversion factor is observed to go to zero.
Fluid mechanics causes of gas migration : displacement of a yield stress fluid in a channel and onset of fluid invasion into a visco-plastic fluid
Creators: name: Zare Bezgabadi, Marjan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: This thesis studies the buoyant miscible displacement flow of a Bingham fluid by a Newtonian fluid and the invasion of miscible and immiscible fluids into a yield stress fluid. The objective of the former study is to characterize the residual layer thickness and identify the flow regimes within the range of governing flow parameters. In the latter, the aim is to capture the invasion pressure of the invading fluids into a yield stress fluid, understand the actual invasion process and quantify the effect of yield stress and other influencing physical parameters. We start the first part of the thesis with density stable displacements. We show the different parametric effects on the residual layer thickness and present a novel and computationally efficient method for predicting the long-term behaviour of the residual wall layers. We then extend this study to density unstable displacement and show that static residual wall layers can exist for yield stresses below the minimum for density stable regimes. These layers are partially static and may also be thicker than the fully static layers encountered in density stable flows. We also find a range of hydrodynamic instabilities, which we map out parametrically, giving approximate onset criteria. The predictive method for density stable flows is extended to density unstable configurations and appears able to predict the occurrence of stable displacements. In the second part, we study invasion flows into a vertical column of yield stress fluid through a small hole. We first examined the invasion of water, using both experimental and computational methods. We find that the invasion pressure depends on yield stress of the fluid and height of the yield stress column. However, the invasion process is initially localised close to the hole. Similar results were found with glycerin solutions. Interfacial stress effects were then tested with a density-matched silicon oil and air, which resulted a non-local invasion. In summary, we find that miscible fluids penetrate locally at significantly lower invasion pressures than immiscible fluids. Finally, for both parts of the thesis, there are a number of useful consequences helping to understand the mechanisms leading to gas migration.

description: There has been a long-standing discussion in the literature as to whether core accretion or disk instability is the dominant mode of planet formation. Over the last decade, several lines of evidence have been presented showing that core accretion is most likely the dominant mechanism for the close-in population of planets probed by radial velocity and transits. However, this does not by itself prove that core accretion is the dominant mode for the total planet population, since disk instability might conceivably produce and retain large numbers of planets in the far-out regions of the disk. If this is a relevant scenario, then the outer massive disks of B-stars should be among the best places for massive planets and brown dwarfs to form and reside. In this study, we present high-contrast imaging of 18 nearby massive stars, of which 15 are in the B2--A0 spectral type range and provide excellent sensitivity to wide companions. By comparing our sensitivities to model predictions of disk instability based on physical criteria for fragmentation and cooling, and using Monte-Carlo simulations for orbital distributions, we find that ~85 % of such companions should have been detected in our images on average. Given this high degree of completeness, stringent statistical limits can be set from the null-detection result, even with the limited sample size. We find that <32 % of massive stars form and retain disk instability planets, brown dwarfs and very low-mass stars of <100 Mjup within 300 AU, at 99 % confidence. These results, combined with previous findings in the literature, lead to the conclusion that core accretion is likely the dominant mode of planet formation.

description: Über die sexuelle Gesundheit von männlichen Anbietern und Kunden sexueller Dienstleistungen in Deutschland ist wenig bekannt. Es wurden daher Daten von in Deutschland lebenden Teilnehmern des im Jahre 2010 durchgeführten Europäischen MSM Internet Survey (EMIS-DE, N = 50.086) analysiert. Zielgrößen waren Test und Diagnose von HIV und anderen sexuell übertragenen Infektionen (STI), Partnerzahl, Drogengebrauch und sexuelle Zufriedenheit in 2 Zielpopulationen: (1) Männer, die in den letzten 12 Monaten sexuelle Dienste anboten und (2) Männer, die solche Dienste in Anspruch genommen haben. In der Altersgruppe unter 30 Jahren (n = 19.138) wurden Anbieter sexueller Dienste (Escorts) mit Nichtanbietern verglichen. In der Altersgruppe ab 30 Jahren (n = 30.948) wurden Kunden sexueller Dienste mit Nichtkunden verglichen. Die Vergleiche erfolgten mittels univariabler und multinomialer, multivariabler logistischer Regressionsanalysen. Von den unter 30-Jährigen wurden 8 % (n = 1529) in den letzten 12 Monaten für Sex bezahlt; die Hälfte davon jedoch nur ein- oder zweimal. Escorts hatten niedrigere Bildungsabschlüsse, lebten häufiger in Großstädten, waren häufiger im Ausland geboren, bezeichneten sich seltener als schwul und waren häufiger alleinstehend. Sie berichteten häufiger über Substanzkonsum und eine höhere Zahl von Sexpartnern, und sie waren häufiger mit ihrem Sexleben zufrieden. Escorts waren häufiger auf HIV und STI getestet und unter den Getesteten waren Diagnosen von HIV und STI häufiger als in der Vergleichsgruppe. Escorts mit HIV-Diagnose erhielten seltener eine antiretrovirale Therapie. Bei den über 30-Jährigen hatten 11 % (n = 3334) für Sex bezahlt; die Mehrheit (58 %) jedoch nur ein- oder zweimal. Die Kunden waren älter, lebten häufiger in Großstädten, waren häufiger alleinstehend, bisexuell oder lebten mit einer Frau zusammen. Kunden wurden seltener auf HIV und STI getestet, Partydrogen, Erektiva und Sedativa wurden häufiger konsumiert, die sexuelle Zufriedenheit war geringer.

description: The survival of unbound density substructure against orbital mixing imposes strong constraints on the slope of the underlying gravitational potential and provides a new test on modified gravities. Here we investigate whether the interpretation that the stellar clump in Ursa Minor (UMi) dwarf spheroidal galaxy is a `dynamical fossil' is consistent with Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND). For UMi mass models inferred by fitting the velocity dispersion profile, the stellar clump around the second peak of UMi is erased very rapidly, within 1.25 Gyr (6.5 orbits), even with the inclusion of self-gravity. We find that the clump can hardly survive for more than 2 Gyr even under more generous conditions. Alternative scenarios which could lead to a kinematically cold clump are discussed but, so far, none of them were found to be fully satisfactory. Our conclusion is that the cold clump in UMi poses a challenge for both LambdaCDM and MOND.

description: The alpha decays of naturally occurring platinum isotopes, which are accompanied by the emission of gamma quanta, have been searched for deep underground (3600 m w.e.) in the Gran Sasso National Laboratories of the INFN (Italy). A sample of Pt with mass of 42.5 g and a natural isotopic composition has been measured with a low background HP Ge detector (468 cm^3) during 1815 h. The alpha decay of 190-Pt to the first excited level of 186-Os (J^π= 2^+, E_{exc}=137.2 keV) has been observed for the first time, with the half-life determined as: T_{1/2} = 2.6_{-0.3}^{+0.4} (stat.) \pm 0.6 (syst.) \times 10^{14} yr. The T_{1/2} limits for the alpha decays of other Pt isotopes have been determined at level of T_{1/2} \simeq 10^{16}-10^{20} yr. These limits have been set for the first time or they are better than those known from earlier experiments.

description: If the equation 1^k+2^k+...+(m-2)^k+(m-1)^k=m^k has an integer solution with k>1, then m>10^{10^6}. Leo Moser showed this in 1953 by remarkably elementary methods. His proof rests on four identities he derives separately. It is shown here that Moser's result can be derived from a von Staudt-Clausen type theorem (an easy proof of which is also presented here). In this approach the four identities can be derived uniformly. The mathematical arguments used in the proofs were already available during the lifetime of Lagrange (1736-1813).
description: 7 pages. Meanwhile MacMillan and Sondow showed that Lagrange (1736-1813). can be replaced by Pascal (1623-1662)

description: This paper essayed to examine ecosystem functions with a case study of the tropical rainforest environment of the Cross River National Park, Nigeria. The paper highlighted the important functions of the ecosystems to include Purification of air and water mitigation of floods and droughts, detoxification and decomposition of wastes, generation and renewal of soil and natural ve?getation, pollination of crops and natural vegetation, control of the vast ma?jority of potential agricultural pests, dispersal of seeds and translocation of nutrients, maintenance of biodiversity, protection from the sun’s harmful ul?traviolet rays among others. Problems associated with the rainforest ecosys?tems among which are logging, traditional methods of farming, poaching, excessive noise and encroachment were identified. The paper concluded by highlighting the way forward among others that, awareness creation should be stepped-up in Support Zone Communities; indigenes should be educated periodically on the benefits of the ecosystem services to not just humans but the forest resources and biodiversity themselves. Keywords Ecosystem, Services, Tropical Rainforests, Cross River National Park 1. Introduction The tropical rainforest ecosystem plays an enormous role in the survival of man and other species of the immediate environment and other surrounding envi?ronments. These ecosystem services are unquantifiable and in most traditional settings taken for granted until such a time that such services are no longer available or limited. Ecosystems service is an ecological-economics consideration that emerged in the 1990s to forge attempts at attaching

description: We have performed a systematic photoemission study of the chemical potential shift as a function of carrier doping in a pnictide system based on BaFe$_2$As$_2$. The experimentally determined chemical potential shift is consistent with the prediction of a rigid band shift picture by the renormalized first-principle band calculations. This leads to an electron-hole asymmetry (EHA) in the Fermi surface (FS) nesting condition due to different effective masses for different FS sheets, which can be calculated from the Lindhard function of susceptibility. This built-in EHA from the band structure, which matches well with observed asymmetric superconducting domes in the phase diagram, strongly supports FS near-nesting driven superconductivity in the iron pnictides.
