description: At this point in time, two major areas of physics, statistical mechanics and quantum mechanics, rest on the foundations of probability and entropy. The last century saw several significant fundamental advances in our understanding of the process of inference, which make it clear that these are inferential theories. That is, rather than being a description of the behavior of the universe, these theories describe how observers can make optimal predictions about the universe. In such a picture, information plays a critical role. What is more is that little clues, such as the fact that black holes have entropy, continue to suggest that information is fundamental to physics in general. In the last decade, our fundamental understanding of probability theory has led to a Bayesian revolution. In addition, we have come to recognize that the foundations go far deeper and that Cox's approach of generalizing a Boolean algebra to a probability calculus is the first specific example of the more fundamental idea of assigning valuations to partially-ordered sets. By considering this as a natural way to introduce quantification to the more fundamental notion of ordering, one obtains an entirely new way of deriving physical laws. I will introduce this new way of thinking by demonstrating how one can quantify partially-ordered sets and, in the process, derive physical laws. The implication is that physical law does not reflect the order in the universe, instead it is derived from the order imposed by our description of the universe. Information physics, which is based on understanding the ways in which we both quantify and process information about the world around us, is a fundamentally new approach to science.

description: We prove that the automorphism group of the dihedral quandle with n elements is isomorphic to the affine group of the integers mod n, and also obtain the inner automorphism group of this quandle. In [9], automorphism groups of quandles (up to isomorphisms) of order less than or equal to 5 were given. With the help of the software Maple, we compute the inner and automorphism groups of all seventy three quandles of order six listed in the appendix of [4]. Since computations of automorphisms of quandles relates to the problem of classification of quandles, we also describe an algorithm implemented in C for computing all quandles (up to isomorphism) of order less than or equal to nine.

Essays on the economics of aging and housing
Creators: name: Kei, Wendy Wai Yee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: This dissertation uses three different studies to explore the impact of household finance on elderly households’ labour market activities. Chapter 1 provides an introduction. Chapter 2 uses the eligibility requirements of the Canadian Old Age Security (OAS) program as a novel approach to estimate a causal effect of public pensions on elderly immigrants’ labour supply decisions. I also evaluate the extent to which these individuals may adjust their labour supply behaviour prior to the receipt of public pension entitlements. The findings in this chapter illustrate that seniors only respond to the OAS benefits with a decrease in labour force participation rates. A combination of estimates implies that elderly immigrants may exhibit behavioural response in anticipation for OAS benefits. Chapter 3 investigates the effect of immigration on mobility decisions of native-born near-retirees. The research findings in this chapter push this area of literature forward by suggesting an alternative perspective for explaining native out-migration. The heterogeneity in mobility preferences across dwelling tenure groups is an important result because it may explain why Card (2001) fails to find any significant effect from immigration on aggregate native relocation decisions. Finally, Chapter 4 explores how the recent house price shock in the U.S. affected the labour supply decisions of near-retirees. This is the first study to use the national lending conditions for residential mortgage series as part of an instrumental variable strategy to explore this context. The final chapter sheds light by showing that housing exerts insignificant impact on the near-retirees’ work and retirement decisions.

Study on the arsenic load of the food chain in an agricultural affected area of the Inner Mongolia, Hetao-Plain, China
Creators: name: Neidhardt, Harald
Publisher: name: Karlsruhe
Year: 2008

description: Subject of this case study were the consequences of irrigation by As contaminated water
in the Hetao-Plain, part of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in China. Therefore, the
arsenic (As) distribution within the water-soil-plant-system was examined in a
representative farming village in the North-West of the plain in order to assess As within
the food chain. Especially the horizontal and vertical distribution of As in field soil was a
matter of particular interest as well as the abundance of As in crops.
Two fields (a sunflower and a corn field) were sampled in July 2007, each irrigated twice
a month since three years by groundwater, which is characterized by high salinity and
alkaline pH. On both study sites, two soil pits of 1 m3 were excavated and a grid for topsoil
sampling installed. Additionally, water and plants were sampled at both fields and in the
surroundings.
Various analysis were carried out by means of ED-XRF, Micro-SyXRF, XRD, FIAS and HR-ICPMS
to determine the elemental and mineralogical compositions. Total As concentration in
the groundwater used for irrigation of the corn was about 0,15 mg/l and 0,24 mg/l. Both
concentrations clearly exceeded the Chinese drinking water standard of 0,01mg As/l. Vertical
distribution of As in soil indicated a slight enrichment in topsoil and a possible relation to
grain size. In contrast, the spatial distribution in topsoil (11.0 to 22.0 mg As/kg) varies
strongly and seems to be reflecting the surface micro-relieve. Although the concentration
in soil is not that serious, As could have also been detected in plant parts, ranging up to
3,21 mg/kg. The results allude to the necessity of further monitoring of the use of As
contaminated groundwater for irrigation purposes in Inner Mongolia.

description: Quantum blobs are the smallest phase space units of phase space compatible with the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics and having the symplectic group as group of symmetries. Quantum blobs are in a bijective correspondence with the squeezed coherent states from standard quantum mechanics, of which they are a phase space picture. This allows us to propose a substitute for phase space in quantum mechanics. We study the relationship between quantum blobs with a certain class of level sets defined by Fermi for the purpose of representing geometrically quantum states.

MOLECULAR MECHANISMS UNDELYING REST DYSREGULATION IN THE EXPERIMENTAL AUTOIMMUNE ENCEPHALOMYELITIS (EAE)
Creators: name: PETROSINO, VALENTINA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Genova
Year: 2019

description: The development and maturation of the nervous system imply a precise temporal and spatial modulation of gene expression, coordinated by transcriptional enhancers and repressors. In this context, the key role of repressor element 1-silencing transcription factor (REST) is largely known. REST regulates neurogenesis and neuronal identity through cell-specific gene repression, allowing expression of its targets in mature neurons. During neuronal development REST levels are reduced and REST is quiescent in mature neurons, which are able to modulate its expression in response to pathological stimuli. Such dysregulation has been implicated in several neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer?s and Huntington?s diseases, tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) and epilepsy. Our pilot study had indicated that REST is significantly over-expressed in murine chronic experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), an experimental model of multiple sclerosis (MS), at acute early phase. MS is a CNS autoimmune-mediated disease characterized by chronic inflammation and demyelination in the white and grey matter leading to an impairment of synaptic transmission and network connectivity, with both neuronal and axonal loss. Chronic inflammatory processes that continuously disturb neuro-axonal homeostasis drive neurodegeneration, so the clinical outcome is likely to depend on the balance between inflammation and the remaining capacity for neuronal self-protection and repair. Hence, therapeutic approaches halting neurodegeneration and promoting tissue repair are sorely needed. On this matter, specific targeting of REST-dependent transcription and/or molecular pathways could be an appealing strategy towards therapy in MS. In this project, we have addressed REST expression throughout disease to characterize the role of its unbalance in EAE, assess its potential as biomarker for disease progression, and understand if modulation of REST leads to rescue of EAE phenotype. Starting from these observations, we have first analyzed the expression of REST and its target genes in vivo, during EAE, and in vitro, in the context of neuroinflammation investigating the differential contribution of REST transcripts to REST up-regulation and how this affects its targets. Moreover, in order to study the cellular and molecular pathways involved in the
processes of neuroinflammation, we have analyzed REST activity in cell culture, under inflammatory conditions mimicking the EAE microenvironment. Our results support the involvement of REST in the pathological process of EAE, suggesting a possible mechanism of action of REST in the control of its target gene expression in response to neuroinflammation, and demonstrating the involvement of signal pathways regulating REST expression, under these conditions.

description: Hjerneskade kan påvirke en persons bilkørsel således, at pågældende ikke længere er en sikker bilist. Det kan være svært at observere de kognitive følgevirkninger, der påvirker bilkørsel. Derfor er det nødvendigt med grundig og systematisk køreevaluering efter en hjerneskade. Denne spørgeskemaundersøgelse af procedure og praksis mht. køreevaluering efter hjerneskade, foretaget på relevante afdelinger og institutioner i Danmark har vist, at køreevaluering efter hjerneskade ikke foretages systematisk i dagens Danmark. Konsekvensen er, at personer med hjerneskade, som er potentielt farlige i trafikken, kører bil alligevel. En lige så uhensigtsmæssig følge er, at personer med hjerneskade, som egner sig til at køre bil, afholder sig fra at gøre det, da de ikke længere føler sig sikre på, at de er i stand til det.

description: The Pi GHz Sky Survey (PiGSS) is a key project of the Allen Telescope Array. PiGSS is a 3.1 GHz survey of radio continuum emission in the extragalactic sky with an emphasis on synoptic observations that measure the static and time-variable properties of the sky. During the 2.5-year campaign, PiGSS will twice observe ~250,000 radio sources in the 10,000 deg^2 region of the sky with b > 30 deg to an rms sensitivity of ~1 mJy. Additionally, sub-regions of the sky will be observed multiple times to characterize variability on time scales of days to years. We present here observations of a 10 deg^2 region in the Bootes constellation overlapping the NOAO Deep Wide Field Survey field. The PiGSS image was constructed from 75 daily observations distributed over a 4-month period and has an rms flux density between 200 and 250 microJy. This represents a deeper image by a factor of 4 to 8 than we will achieve over the entire 10,000 deg^2. We provide flux densities, source sizes, and spectral indices for the 425 sources detected in the image. We identify ~100$ new flat spectrum radio sources; we project that when completed PiGSS will identify 10^4 flat spectrum sources. We identify one source that is a possible transient radio source. This survey provides new limits on faint radio transients and variables with characteristic durations of months.

description: Possiamo davvero fidarci di Lessing quando nel suo Laocoonte decreta il definitivo dissolvimento del modello estetico dell’ut pictura poёsis? Così scrive nel 1766, intendendo chiudere definitivamente la questione del rapporto fra le due arti sorelle: «Della somiglianza che la poesia e la pittura hanno tra di loro Spence si fa i più strani concetti. Egli crede che le due arti presso gli antichi siano state legate così strettamente da andare continuamente mano nella mano, e che il poeta non abbia mai perso di vista il pittore, né il pittore il poeta. Che la poesia sia l’arte più comprensiva; che essa disponga di bellezze che la pittura non potrà mai raggiungere; […] a ciò sembra non aver pensato affatto». Non è difficile capire da che parte si schieri Lessing nel sancire la fine del paradigma oraziano, ma è altrettanto chiaro che, già dal romanticismo in poi, la sua pretesa di una radicale separazione del codice letterario da quello figurativo sia stata costantemente smentita tanto dalla prassi artistica e letteraria, quanto dalla riflessione estetica, antropologica e filosofica.

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: A charge transfer (CT) model is introduced for strong acceptors like A = F4TCNQ that are ionized on surfaces at low coverage θ. Each A forms a CT dimer with a surface state S. Dipole-dipole repulsion grows as θ^(3/2) up to θ = 1 in a full monolayer. Electron transfer ρ(θ) within dimers is found self-consistently and decreases with increasing coverage. The surface dipole and work function shift ΔΦ are proportional to θρ(θ). The CT model has implications for photoemission and accounts for ΔΦ(d) profiles of F4TCNQ films of thickness d on Cu(1,1,1) or on hydrogenated diamond (1,0,0). The CT model also describes ΔΦ(θ) of organic donors on metals and is contrasted to previous treatments of dipoles on a surface.

Racism and sexism influences on sentencing decisions
Creators: name: Udala, Megan Rose
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: There is a large body of research pertaining to sentencing decisions and the factors that affect it. This thesis investigates three factors: (a) race of the perpetrator (b) sex of the perpetrator and (c) the victim’s relationship to the perpetrator. In Canada, Aboriginal offenders comprise 20% of the federal prison population and only 3% of the general population (Statistics Canada, 2012). Further, research suggests a sex difference in criminal sentencing, with males being convicted more often and for longer than their female counterparts (Auerhahn, 2007; Rodriguez, Curry, & Lee, 2006). In addition, the relationship of the victim to the perpetrator may also influence sentence length. For example, a woman in Canada who murders a non-relative child may receive a first-degree murder charge and a sentence of life in prison; however, if she murders her own child she may receive a lesser charge of infanticide and only five years in prison (R.S., c. C-34, s. 216). In this study, participants were randomly assigned to one of eight conditions where the perpetrator’s race, sex, and relationship to the victim were manipulated. Participants were instructed to indicate a perceived seriousness rating of the crime and to allocate a sentencing decision. The results of this study suggested female First Nations perpetrators received a lower perceived seriousness rating for their crime if they murdered their own child, paralleling the leniency found with the Canadian infanticide law. The opposite was found for male First Nations perpetrators. Male First Nation perpetrators received a higher perceived seriousness rating for their crime if they murdered their own child. In addition, results for sentencing length showed females received a significantly shorter sentence length. Specifically, I found that a female First Nations perpetrator who murders her own child was treated more leniently than all other conditions for both seriousness ratings and sentence lengths. The findings of this study elucidate the influential bias of race, sex, and victim relationship in sentencing decisions and contribute to understanding how the Canadian criminal justice system may be more equitable.

description: L’intima instabilità delle versioni di un mito laterale, e tuttavia esemplare e persistente, come quello di Proteo, e finanche il suo «strabismo semantico» (originatosi con la discrepanza fra le visioni di Virgilio e di Ovidio, come vedremo; 72) testimoniano una ricchezza rappresentativa e di significazione ben attestata, e attingibile, già nella classicità. Il critico interpella il mito in quanto «catena di rappresentazioni culturali», «campo inesauribile di dibattito e di scontro speculativo» (13), per saggiare in profondità le variazioni e le dissonanze alle quali dà vita, le innovazioni semantiche e le calcificazioni nelle quali incorre, nei secoli; il discorso procede agganciando la storia culturale di Proteo a un suo nucleo letterario fondativo, quella vicenda di naufragio e ritorno definibile come «novella» (in quanto gli autori successivi vi si sarebbero riferiti trattandolo come un racconto a sé stante), incastonata all’interno del libro iv dell’Odissea, letta alla luce di un contatto tra culture, quella egizia, nella quale l’episodio è ambientato, e quella greca.

description: Il saggio di Silvia Albertazzi, Belli e perdenti. Antieroi e post-eroi nella narrativa contemporanea di lingua inglese, propone un’ampia e articolata indagine di romanzi, film e canzoni d'autore, nel cui centro si colloca un loser, un perdente, a volte eroico nel suo fallimento, altre volte rassegnato, altre ancora frustrato dalla propria situazione esistenziale, a seconda del periodo storico di cui è immagine. I falliti post-moderni, infatti, si evolvono nel corso dei decenni che vanno dagli anni Sessanta ai giorni nostri, seguendo il«cambiamento di prospettive storiche e sociali» tuttavia, nonostante lo sviluppo cronologico vada dalla stagione delle rivolte all’era reaganiana fino all’11 settembre, «figure di perdenti, magari non più così belli» come quelle primigenie, popolano continuamente la narrativa contemporanea ma impongono «una rilettura del personaggio» (Introduzione, 9). L’analisi si sofferma, oltre che sull’analisi diacronica del modello, anche su quella “geografica” con un’ampia sezione dedicata alle narrazioni postcoloniali.

description: Vibrational spectroscopies, and FTIR spectroscopy in particular, have a very large range of application both in pharmaceutical and in materials chemistry.
In this work, two different, innovative applications of FTIR spectroscopy are discussed.
In the first one, Imaging IR Spectroscopy is used in the identification of the form of a polymorphic API in a pharmaceutical cream. This IR radiation sampling method allows to couple images in the visible range to chemical images: a single IR spectrum corresponds to each point of the image, and this coupling allows a real study of the polymorph in the cream without its extraction from the matrix. Identification is performed by comparison with the standard spectra - acquired in the same analytical conditions - of known solid state forms.
The data obtained by IR Spectroscopy induced to use also Raman imaging in order to compare the identification results and the applicability of both the techniques.
The second application provides the use of Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform (DRIFT) Spectroscopy and Reflection Absorption InfraRed Spectroscopy in the screening of organosilane films, deposited on different metallic surface for a protective aim.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate which films have been deposited on the metal surface and, then to qualitatively investigate the degrees of polymerization.
Also UV-Vis Spectroscopy is used to characterize the monomeric starting solutions, from which the deposition for immersion and thermal treatment is obtained
Joining these techniques allows to define that the oligomerization happens in solution. On the metal surface both the organic and the inorganic portions give rise to polymerization.

description: Обследовано 40 подростков с конституционально-экзогенным ожирением и выявлены компоненты метаболического синдрома. Проанализированы данные анамнеза, пищевого поведения, двигательной активности, клинической картины, лабораторных показателей до начала и через 21 день, 3–6–9–12 мес. после реабилитации в санаторных условиях по программе «Школа ребенка с лишним весом». Исходно выявлены
кардио-метаболические изменения, такие как абдоминальное ожирение, артериальная гипертензия, гиперхолестеринемия, гипертриглицеридемия, повышение ХС ЛПНП, снижение ХС ЛПВП, нарушение толерантности к углеводам, инсулинорезистентность, гиперурикемия. В процессе наблюдения и после реабилитации у подростков показана положительная динамика показателей массы тела, ИМТ, соотношения ОТ/ОБ, АД, дислипидемии, инсулинорезистентности, т.е. фактически устранены исходные компоненты метаболического синдрома. Это позволяет предположить, что в соответствии с этими изменениями уменьшился риск сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний у подростков с КЭО, прошедших реабилитацию в санатории по программе «Школа ребенка с лишним весом».

description: Juglans mandshurica Maxim., 1856 is a second-class, protected, rare tree species of high economic and ecological value. We elucidated the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of J. mandshurica using the Illumina Novaseq 6000 and Nanopore platforms. The complete sequences of 558,032 and 161,386 bp had an overall GC content of 45.0% and 45.3%, respectively, and 61 genes could be annotated, including 38 protein-coding, 20 tRNA, and 3 rRNA genes. The high-quality J. mandshurica mt genomic sequences presented in this study will serve as a useful resource for a range of genetic, functional, evolutionary, and comparative genomic studies on this species of the Juglandaceae family.
ANALYSIS OF RPB5 BINDING PROTEIN (RMP/URI) MEDIATED TRANSCRIPTIONAL REPRESSION IN PROSTATE CELLS.

description: Unconventional prefoldin RPB5 Interactor (URI) was identified as a protein that binds the RPB5 subunit of polymerases and functions as a transcriptional repressor (Dorjsuren N., MCB, 1998). Although URI interacts with RNA polymerases, our microarray analysis of genes affected by depletion of URI did not show a general effect on transcription and only 5% of the genes were affected. We also showed that URI binds and regulates the stability of Art-27, an epithelial-specific androgen receptor (AR) cofactor. URI, in complex with Art-27, represses androgen receptor mediated transcription and plays a critical role in anti-androgen action (Mita P., MCB, 2011). Although several proteins have been identified as URI interactors the mechanism by which URI represses transcription is unknown. To gain functional insight into the mechanism of URI repression we performed a mass spectrometry analysis of proteins interacting with URI in the nucleus of prostate cells. This analysis confirmed the previously reported interaction of URI with the three RNA polymerases, TFIIF, the Paf-1 complex and the R2TP/prefoldin-like complex. The analysis also identified novel interactors including the transcriptional repressor KAP1/TRIM28 and the phosphatase PP2A. We show that URI binds PP2A phosphatase and thereby regulates KAP1 phosphorylation. Depletion of URI induced KAP1 hyper-phosphorylation and de-repression of KAP1 regulated genes. These data are interesting in light of the recently discovered role of KAP1 in retroelement repression.
Moreover, our mass spectrometry analysis showed a correlation between the URI phosphorylation state, polII CTD phosphorylation, and the recruitment of proteins involved in active polII transcription supporting the idea that URI phosphorylation could function as a metabolically activated ?switch? that controls polII elongation on specific genes. We also show that URI is involved in the DNA damage response in mammalian cells and that the URI/Art-27 complex plays a role in prostate cell differentiation and luminal-epithelial cell specification.
 Collectively, the data presented in this thesis demonstrate that URI, together with its ?partner? Art-27, is part of a novel transcriptional repressor complex that plays a role in a wide range of cellular processes including cell differentiation, DNA damage and tumorigenesis.

description: We consider a spectral stability estimate by Burenkov and Lamberti concerning the variation of the eigenvalues of second order uniformly elliptic operators on variable open sets in the N-dimensional euclidean space, and we prove that it is sharp for any dimension N. This is done by studying the eigenvalue problem for the Dirichlet Laplacian on special open sets inscribed in suitable spherical cones.

description: Abstract
Background: Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration FTLD is a progressive neurodegenerative syndrome, clinically and pathologically heterogeneus. FTLD includes a behavioural variant (bvFTD) and three linguistic variants (non fluent/agrammatic, semantic and logopenic variant) of primary progressive aphasia (PPA). In 2011 a Consensus Conference established new guidelines to the variants, using neuroimaging (PET/RM), neuropsychological profiles and biomarker/pathologic characteristic. Method: In our study we analyzed neuropsychology, neuroimaging and biomarkers profiles of 28 PPA patients from our centre. Aim of the study is to value the impact of new criteria for PPA in neuropsychological testing and to correlate it with neuroimaging and pathological examination. In particular, for the language examination we assessed naming, agrammatism, apraxia of speech, comprehension and ripetition, writing and reading abilities. Statistical analysis include Pearson correlation and t-test. Results: we find correlation of ripetition deficit in subject with parietal atrophy/hypometabolism; agrammatism and apraxia of speech prevalent in frontal atrophy/hypometabolism patients; naming deficit in left-temporal atrophy/hypometabolism patient with an AD pathology revealed with biomarker analysis. Conclusions: Gorno-Tempini criteria for PPA are a good instrument to classify PPA patient, creating three different and defined profiles about neuropsychological, neuroimaging and pathology aspects.

description: Quantum computation using qubits made of two component Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) is analysed. The use of BECs allows for an increase of energy scales via bosonic enhancement, resulting in gate operations that can be performed at a macroscopically large energy scale. The large energy scale of the gate operations results in quantum algorithms that may be executed at a time reduced by a factor of N, where N is the number of bosons per qubit. The encoding of the qubits allows for no intrinsic penalty on decoherence times. We illustrate the scheme by an application to Deutsch's and Grover's algorithms.
