description: We report theoretical investigations on the role of interfacial bonding mechanism and its resulting structures to quantum transport in molecular wires. Two bonding mechanisms for the Au-S bond in an Au(111)/1,4-benzenedithiol(BDT)/Au(111) junction were identified by ab initio calculation, confirmed by a recent experiment, which, we showed, critically control charge conduction. It was found, for Au/ BDT/Au junctions, the hydrogen atom, bound by a dative bond to the Sulfur, is energetically non-dissociative after the interface formation. The calculated conductance and junction breakdown forces of H-non-dissociative Au/BDT/Au devices are consistent with the experimental values, while the H-dissociated devices, with the interface governed by typical covalent bonding, give conductance more than an order of magnitude larger. By examining the scattering states that traverse the junctions, we have revealed that mechanical and electric properties of a junction have strong correlation with the bonding configuration. This work clearly demonstrates that the interfacial details, rather than previously believed many-body effects, is of vital importance for correctly predicting equilibrium conductance of molecular junctions; and manifests that the interfacial contact must be carefully understood for investigating quantum transport properties of molecular nanoelectronics.

description: The canonical analysis and subsequent quantization of the (2+1)-dimensional action of pure gravity plus a cosmological constant term is considered, under the assumption of the existence of one spacelike Killing vector field. The proper imposition of the quantum analogues of the two linear (momentum) constraints reduces an initial collection of state vectors, consisting of all smooth functionals of the components (and/or their derivatives) of the spatial metric, to particular scalar smooth functionals. The demand that the midi-superspace metric (inferred from the kinetic part of the quadratic (Hamiltonian) constraint) must define on the space of these states an induced metric whose components are given in terms of the same states, which is made possible through an appropriate re-normalization assumption, severely reduces the possible state vectors to three unique (up to general coordinate transformations) smooth scalar functionals. The quantum analogue of the Hamiltonian constraint produces a Wheeler-DeWitt equation based on this reduced manifold of states, which is completely integrated.

description: Although Building Information Modeling (BIM) can enhance efficiency of sustainable building projects, its adoption is still plagued with barriers. In order to incorporate BIM more efficiently, it is important to consider and mitigate these barriers. The aim of this study is to explore and develop strategies to alleviate barriers in developing countries, such as Malaysia, to broaden implementation of BIM with the aid of quantitative and qualitative approaches. To achieve this aim, a comprehensive literature review was carried out to identify the barriers, and a questionnaire survey was conducted with construction projects’ stakeholders. The ranking analysis results revealed the top five critical barriers to be “unavailability of standards and guidelines”, “lack of BIM training”, “lack of expertise”, “high cost”, and “lack of research and BIM implementation”. Comparative study findings showed that “lack of research and BIM implementation” is the least important barrier in other countries like China, United Kingdom, Nigeria, and Pakistan. Furthermore, qualitative analysis revealed the strategies to mitigate the BIM implementation barriers to enhance sustainable goals. The final outcome of this study is the establishment of a framework incorporated with BIM implementation barriers and strategies namely, the “BIM-based research framework”, which can assist project managers and policymakers towards effective sustainable construction

description: Fatty acid b-oxidation (FAO) is the main bioenergetic pathway in human prostate cancer (PCa) and a promising novel therapeutic vulnerability. Here we demonstrate therapeutic efficacy of targeting FAO in clinical prostate tumors cultured ex vivo, and identify DECR1, encoding the rate-limiting enzyme for oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), as robustly overexpressed in PCa tissues and associated with shorter relapse-free survival. DECR1 is a negatively-regulated androgen receptor (AR) target gene and, therefore, may promote PCa cell survival and resistance to AR targeting therapeutics. DECR1 knockdown selectively inhibited b-oxidation of PUFAs, inhibited proliferation and migration of PCa cells, including treatment resistant lines, and suppressed tumor cell proliferation and metastasis in mouse xenograft models. Mechanistically, targeting of DECR1 caused cellular accumulation of PUFAs, enhanced mitochondrial oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation, and induced ferroptosis. These findings implicate PUFA oxidation via DECR1 as an unexplored facet of FAO that promotes survival of PCa cells.
Self-instructional training in stress management
Creators: name: Bowman, Roland Glen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This dissertation reports an evaluation of Self-instructional training as a stress-management technique for multi-problem clients. Individuals who responded to a newspaper advertisement offering assistance in tension management and who reported that they experienced anxiety in at least two relatively specific situations were assigned to the following treatment conditions: (1) Self-instructional training (n=ll), (2) Awareness (n=ll), (3) Skills training (n=ll) and (4) Minimal treatment control (n=9). Therapy was conducted over a six-week period with therapists in the first three experimental conditions meeting small groups for 1%-hour sessions. Clients in all conditions were encouraged to adopt a situational view of anxiety and to record the details of the stressful situations they encountered throughout the course of treatment. In the first condition, Meichenbaum's (1974) treatment manual was used as a guide. Clients were taught to analyze their problems according to a cognitive model of anxiety and to adopt the use of coping self-statements in stressful situations. Clients in condition two received a similar treatment rationale, but did not specifically practice the use of coping self-statements. The third condition provided a combination of role-playing and coaching to assist clients to change their behavior in stressful situations. Finally the minimal treatment group attended a two-hour session in which the self-instructional training procedure was explained to them and was applied to some of their problems. Analysis of self- and Significant Other reports found no significant differences among treatment conditions, although there was significant change on almost all measures for the client sample as a whole. These inconclusive findings were discussed in relation to differences between the present client sample and clients who have served as subjects in previous research. It was suggested that a promising area for future research might be the investigation of the role of certain client characteristics in determining treatment outcome, especially levels of trait anxiety and the duration and specificity of stressful situations.

description: We study superconformal defect lines in the tricritical Ising model in 2 dimensions. By the folding trick, a superconformal defect is mapped to a superconformal boundary of the N=1 superconformal unitary minimal model of c=7/5 with D_6-E_6 modular invariant. It turns out that the complete set of the boundary states of c=7/5 D_6-E_6 model cannot be interpreted as the consistent set of superconformal defects in the tricritical Ising model since it does not contain the "no defect" boundary state. Instead, we find a set of 18 consistent superconformal defects including "no defect" and satisfying the Cardy condition. This set also includes some defects which are not purely transmissive or purely reflective.

description: In 1991, Craig Gotsman and Nathan Linial conjectured that for all $n$ and $d$, the average sensitivity of a degree-$d$ polynomial threshold function on $n$ variables is maximized by the degree-$d$ symmetric polynomial which computes the parity function on the $d$ layers of the hypercube with Hamming weight closest to $n/2$. We refute the conjecture for almost all $d$ and for almost all $n$, and we confirm the conjecture in many of the remaining cases.

description: We demonstrate that continuous time random walks in which successive waiting times are correlated by Gaussian statistics lead to anomalous diffusion with mean squared displacement ~t^{2/3}. Long-ranged correlations of the waiting times with power-law exponent alpha (0~t^{alpha/(1+alpha)}. In contrast correlations in the jump lengths are shown to produce superdiffusion. We show that in both cases weak ergodicity breaking occurs. Our results are in excellent agreement with simulations.

description: La finalità della tesi è stata quella d'improntare una riflessione sulle società legate all'edilizia nel momento di apice politico ed economico di una città, attiva e importante nel basso Medioevo, come Bologna. Questo tipo di studio, già intrapreso per alcune città dell'Italia centro settentrionale, risulta necessario per comprendere alcune dinamiche politiche, economiche e produttive della realtà cittadina. In particolare, gli obiettivi sono stati quelli di coniugare la vita corporativa dell'arte all'organizzazione lavorativa, individuando gli aspetti legati all'ambito produttivo e valutando, l'evoluzione della società nel passaggio dal Duecento al Trecento. Gli statuti e le matricole, principali fonti compilate dalle due società delle arti e giunte ai nostri giorni, salvo rare eccezioni, completamente inedite sono stati il principale punto di partenza dello studio. Il risultato è la sintesi di alcuni spunti di riflessione emersi dai documenti, quali la mentalità degli uomini che si approcciavano alle arti, le gerarchie nate all'interno delle stesse società, il loro cambiamento e quello legato alla percezione di comunità nel corso dei secoli oltre agli aspetti più prettamente lavorativi e artigianali.
description: The aim of this treatise was to start a reflection on the society related to craftsmen during the political and economic peak of a city, one of the most active and prominent in the late Middle Ages, as Bologna. This kind of study, wich has already been done for some other cities in central north Italy, is necessary for understanding some of the political, economic and productive dynamics in Bologna. In particular, the goals were sought for combining corporate life to art work organization, identifying the aspects related to the craftamship and, finally, evaluating the evolution of a social group in transition from the thirteenth to the fourteenth century. The starting point of the study were the statuti and matricole, two of the main sources wrote by the Society of Arts and preserved intact until today wich were, with few exceptions, completely unreleased. The result was the synthesis of some theory on the outlook of the men approaching to art societies, the hierarchies born in societies themselves, the changing of the Society of Arts, the perception of “society” over centuries and the aspect purely related to artisanship.

A coincidence of disturbed morphology and blue UV colour: minor-merger driven star formation in early-type galaxies at z~0.6

description: We exploit multi-wavelength photometry of early-type galaxies (ETGs) in the COSMOS survey to demonstrate that the low-level star formation activity in the ETG population at intermediate redshift is likely to be driven by minor mergers. Splitting the ETGs into galaxies that show disturbed morphologies indicative of recent merging and those that appear relaxed, we find that ~32% of the ETG population appears to be morphologically disturbed. While the relaxed objects are almost entirely contained within the UV red sequence, their morphologically disturbed counterparts dominate the scatter to blue UV colours, regardless of luminosity. Empirically and theoretically determined major-merger rates in the redshift range z<1 are several times too low to account for the fraction of disturbed ETGs in our sample, suggesting that minor mergers represent the principal mechanism driving the observed star formation activity in our sample. The young stellar components forming in these events have ages between 0.03 and 0.3 Myrs and typically contribute <10% of the stellar mass of the remnant. Together with recent work which demonstrates that the structural evolution of nearby ETGs is consistent with one or more minor mergers, our results indicate that the overall evolution of massive ETGs may be heavily influenced by minor merging at late epochs and highlights the need to systematically study this process in future observational surveys.

Spectroscopic studies on Cyclodextrin and Metal Organic Framework based potential nanovectors for delivery of Anticancer and Antiviral drugs

description: The aim of this work is to contribute to the development of new multifunctional nanocarriers for improved  encapsulation and delivery of  anticancer and antiviral drugs.  The work focused on water soluble and biocompatible oligosaccharides, the cyclodextrins (CyDs), and a new family of nanostructured, biodegradable carrier materials made of porous metal-organic frameworks (nanoMOFs). The drugs of choice were the anticancer doxorubicin (DOX), azidothymidine (AZT) and its phosphate derivatives and artemisinin (ART). DOX possesses a pharmacological drawback due to its  self-aggregation tendency  in water. The non covalent binding of DOX  to a series of CyD derivatives, such as g-CyD, an epichlorohydrin crosslinked b-CyD polymer (pb-CyD)  and a citric acid crosslinked g-CyD polymer (pg-CyD) was studied by UV visible absorption, circular dichroism and  fluorescence. Multivariate global analysis of multiwavelength data from spectroscopic titrations allowed identification and characterization of  the stable complexes. pg-CyD proved to be the best carrier showing both high association constants and ability to monomerize DOX.  AZT is an important antiretroviral drug. The active form is AZT-triphosphate (AZT-TP), formed in metabolic paths of low efficiency. Direct administration of AZT-TP is limited  by its poor stability in biological media. So the development of suitable carriers is highly important. In this context we studied the binding of  some phosphorilated  derivatives to nanoMOFs by spectroscopic methods. The results obtained with iron(III)-trimesate nanoMOFs allowed to prove  that the binding of  these drugs mainly occurs by strong iono-covalent bonds to iron(III) centers.   On the basis of these and other results obtained in partner laboratories, it was possible to propose this highly versatile and “green” carrier system for delivery of phosphorylated nucleoside analogues. The interaction of  DOX with nanoMOFs was also studied. Finally the binding of the antimalarial drug, artemisinin (ART) with two cyclodextrin-based carriers,the pb-CyD and a light responsive bis(b-CyD) host, was also studied.

description: The severity of the sign problem in lattice QCD at nonzero baryon density is measured by the average phase of the fermion determinant. Motivated by the equivalence of chiral random matrix theory and QCD to leading order in the epsilon regime, we compute the phase of the fermion determinant for general topology in random matrix theory as a function of the quark chemical potential and the quark mass. We find that the sign problem becomes milder with increasing topological charge. The analytic predictions are verified by detailed numerical random matrix simulations.

description: Over the past 15 years the Italian brewing scene showed interesting changes, especially with regard to the creation of many breweries with an annual production of less than 10,000 hectoliters. 
The beers produced by microbreweries are very susceptible to attack by spoilage micro-organisms that cause the deterioration of beer quality characteristics. 
In addition, most of the microbreweries do not practice heat treatments of stabilization and do not carry out quality checks on the product. The high presence of beer spoilage bacteria is an economic problem for the brewing industry because it can damage the brand and it causes high costs of product retrieval.
This thesis project was aimed to study the management of the production process in the Italian microbreweries within a production less than 10,000 hl. 
In particular, the annual production, type of plant, yeast management, process management, cleaning and sanitizing of a representative sample of microbreweries were investigated.
Furthermore was made a collection of samples in order to identify, with simple methods, what are spoilage bacteria more present in the Italian craft beers. 
21% of the beers analysed were positive at the presence of lactic acid bacteria. These analytical data show the importance of understanding what are the weak points of the production process that cause the development of spoilage bacteria. 
Finally, the thesis examined the actual production of two microbreweries in order to understand the process management that can promote the growth of spoilage bacteria in beer and production plant.
The analysis of the data for the two case studies was helpful to understand what are the critical points where the microorganisms are most frequently in contact with the product. The hygiene practices are crucial to ensure the quality of the finished product, especially in the case of non-pasteurized beer.

Aeroelastic galloping of tall structures in simulated winds

description: This thesis studies the effects of model aspect ratio on the static forces and galloping vibrations of bluff shapes when exposed to a turbulent boundary layer similar to the atmosphere. Previous investigations have analyzed the galloping oscillations of finite prismatic bodies exposed to a turbulent shear flow on the basis of the quasi-steady theory and the assumption of an average lateral force. Herein consideration is given to the variation of lateral forces with height and the galloping oscillations of two finite square towers are predicted. The turbulent boundary layer was grown over a long fetch of roughness and at the location of the static and dynamic tests was 28" deep and had properties similar to a suburban or forested full scale exposure. The geometric scale of the models found from an analysis of velocity spectra was about 1/500. For the height to width ratios examined, aspect ratio had little effect on the average static forces for small angles of attack. The local static forces, measured from the pressure distribution, had a wide variation over the height of the model. For the finite sections examined the response predicted from the local forces gave higher amplitudes for the same reduced velocity as compared, to the response found from the average forces. The results of the dynamic tests agreed with the galloping response predicted from the local sectional forces indicating that the three-dimensional effects are important in the consideration of the galloping phenomenon. The measurements of velocity spectra in the wake of the rigid 28" model indicate that the Strouhal shedding frequency varies along the span of the model. Similar velocity spectra behind the galloping 28" model did not exhibit a discernible peak at the stationary value of the Strouhal number.
An Optimal Execution Problem with Market Impact

description: We study an optimal execution problem in a continuous-time market model that considers market impact. We formulate the problem as a stochastic control problem and investigate properties of the corresponding value function. We find that right-continuity at the time origin is associated with the strength of market impact for large sales, otherwise the value function is continuous. Moreover, we show the semi-group property (Bellman principle) and characterise the value function as a viscosity solution of the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation. We introduce some examples where the forms of the optimal strategies change completely, depending on the amount of the trader's security holdings and where optimal strategies in the Black-Scholes type market with nonlinear market impact are not block liquidation but gradual liquidation, even when the trader is risk-neutral.

description: Based on mutually unbiased measurements, an optimal tomographic scheme for the multiqutrit states is presented explicitly. Because the reconstruction process of states based on mutually unbiased states is free of information waste, we refer to our scheme as the optimal scheme. By optimal we mean that the number of the required conditional operations reaches the minimum in this tomographic scheme for the states of qutrit systems. Special attention will be paid to how those different mutually unbiased measurements are realized; that is, how to decompose each transformation that connects each mutually unbiased basis with the standard computational basis. It is found that all those transformations can be decomposed into several basic implementable single- and two-qutrit unitary operations. For the three-qutrit system, there exist five different mutually unbiased-bases structures with different entanglement properties, so we introduce the concept of physical complexity to minimize the number of nonlocal operations needed over the five different structures. This scheme is helpful for experimental scientists to realize the most economical reconstruction of quantum states in qutrit systems.
description: The optimal reconstruction scheme for the three-qutrit case and the discussion on the physical complexity of it have been added

description: With the Increasing use of Machine Learning in Android applications, more research and efforts are being put into developing better-performing machine learning algorithms with a vast amount of data. Along with machine learning for mobile phones, the threat of extraction of trained machine learning models from application packages (APK) through reverse engineering exists. Currently, there are ways to protect models in mobile applications such as name obfuscation, cloud deployment, last layer isolation. Still, they offer less security, and their implementation requires more effort. This paper gives an algorithm to protect trained machine learning models inside android applications with high security and low efforts to implement it. The algorithm ensures security by encrypting the model and real-time decrypting it with 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) inside the running application. It works efficiently with big model files without interrupting the User interface (UI) Thread. As compared to other methods, it is fast, more secure, and involves fewer efforts. This algorithm provides the developers and researchers a way to secure their actions and making the results available to all without any concern.

description: A theory is developed for interband tunneling in semiconducting carbon nanotube and graphene nanoribbon p-n junction diodes. Characteristic length and energy scales that dictate the tunneling probabilities and currents are evaluated. By comparing the Zener tunneling processes in these structures to traditional group IV and III-V semiconductors, it is proved that for identical bandgaps, carbon based 1D structures have higher tunneling probabilities. The high tunneling current magnitudes for 1D carbon structures suggest the distinct feasibility of high-performance tunneling-based field-effect transistors.

description: We compute the dynamical polarizability of graphene beyond the usual Dirac cone approximation, integrating over the full Brillouin zone. We find deviations at $\hbarω=2t$ ($t$ the hopping parameter) which amount to a logarithmic singularity due to the van Hove singularity and derive an approximate analytical expression. Also at low energies, we find deviations from the results obtained from the Dirac cone approximation which manifest themselves in a peak spitting at arbitrary direction of the incoming wave vector $\q$. Consequences for the plasmon spectrum are discussed.

description: Laumon introduced the local Fourier transform for $\ell$-adic Galois representations of local fields, of equal characteristic $p$ different from $\ell$, as a powerful tool to study the Fourier-Deligne transform of $\ell$-adic sheaves over the affine line. In this article, we compute explicitly the local Fourier transform of monomial representations satisfying a certain ramification condition, and deduce Laumon's formula relating the epsilon factor to the determinant of the local Fourier transform under the same condition.

description: The radiation pressure coupling between a low-mass moving mirror and an incident light field has been experimentally studied in a high-finesse Fabry-Perot cavity. Using classical intensity noise in order to mimic radiation pressure quantum fluctuations, the physics of ponderomotive squeezing comes into play as a result of the opto-mechanical correlations between the field quadratures. The same scheme can be used to probe ponderomotive squeezing at the quantum level, thus opening new routes in quantum optics and high sensitivity measurement experiments.

Primordial Power Spectra from Anisotropic Inflation

description: We examine cosmological perturbations in a dynamical theory of inflation in which an Abelian gauge field couples directly to the inflaton, breaking conformal invariance. When the coupling between the gauge field and the inflaton takes a specific form, inflation becomes anisotropic and anisotropy can persist throughout inflation, avoiding Wald's no-hair theorem. After discussing scenarios in which anisotropy can persist during inflation, we calculate the dominant effects of a small persistent anisotropy on the primordial gravitational wave and curvature perturbation power spectra using the "in-in" formalism of perturbation theory. We find that the primordial power spectra of cosmological perturbations gain significant direction dependence and that the fractional direction dependence of the tensor power spectrum is suppressed in comparison to that of the scalar power spectrum.
