description: Volume reconstruction by backprojection is the computational bottleneck in many interventional clinical computed tomography (CT) applications. Today vendors in this field replace special purpose hardware accelerators by standard hardware like multicore chips and GPGPUs. Medical imaging algorithms are on the verge of employing High Performance Computing (HPC) technology, and are therefore an interesting new candidate for optimization. This paper presents low-level optimizations for the backprojection algorithm, guided by a thorough performance analysis on four generations of Intel multicore processors (Harpertown, Westmere, Westmere EX, and Sandy Bridge). We choose the RabbitCT benchmark, a standardized testcase well supported in industry, to ensure transparent and comparable results. Our aim is to provide not only the fastest possible implementation but also compare to performance models and hardware counter data in order to fully understand the results. We separate the influence of algorithmic optimizations, parallelization, SIMD vectorization, and microarchitectural issues and pinpoint problems with current SIMD instruction set extensions on standard CPUs (SSE, AVX). The use of assembly language is mandatory for best performance. Finally we compare our results to the best GPGPU implementations available for this open competition benchmark.

Law and Dignity for Refugees in India: Examining the role of the Supreme Court
Creators: name: TIWARI, ANUBHAV DUTT
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 480704
subject: Migration, asylum and refugee law
classificationCode: 480702
subject: Constitutional law

description: This thesis explores refugee rights in India through the lens of human dignity. It examines the role of the Indian Supreme Court in applying its progressive interpretation of dignity, particularly in relation to the fundamental right to life under Article 21 of the Constitution, to refugees as a marginalised community. It contends that dignity has played a pivotal role in the Court's human rights decisions and is similarly essential in recognising the constitutional rights of refugees in India. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on refugee rights by critically evaluating the law through ongoing constitutional legal claims of refugees.
Inferring regulators of liver development using single cell sequencing and organoids
Creators: name: Drissler, Sibyl
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The liver regulates most chemical levels in the blood, breaking down and processing nutrients, metabolizing drugs, and excreting waste products through a product called bile. These critical tasks are mainly fulfilled by cells called hepatocytes, which are supported by endothelial, mesenchymal, and immune cells. Herein, we analyze the earliest stages of mouse embryonic liver development using single cell transcriptomics of cells from embryonic day (E) 7.5 to E10.5 embryos. Single cell transcriptomics shows that by E10.5 the endothelial and mesenchymal cells already express many liver-specific markers, such as Lyve1 and Gdf2, respectively. In the first part of this thesis, I expanded the CellPhoneDB database to provide a list of possible ligand-receptor interactions in the early liver bud at E9.5 and E10.5. This analysis yields many known interactions, in addition to many interactions which do not yet have known roles in liver development. The novel interactions include signaling from the hepatoblast (hepatocyte precursor) ligand LECT2 to the liver sinusoidal endothelial cell receptor TIE1, and from the stellate cell ligands RSPO3 and DKK1 to hepatoblast receptors. Next, I developed a multilineage organoid model of liver development. Our goal is to use the organoids for high throughput screening of these ligand-receptor interactions using shRNA-based knockdown of genes or small molecules to activate or inhibit the interactions or their downstream pathways. This model starts from human pluripotent stem cells and uses a differentiation protocol that allows for concomitant differentiation of the mesenchymal, endothelial, and hepatocyte lineages. Preliminary experiments show evidence of these lineages, but further characterization is required to determine how closely they resemble their in vivo counterparts. The second part of this thesis focuses on transcription factor and gene regulatory analysis of the differentiating hepatoblasts, which will eventually give rise to hepatocytes. This analysis identified NR5A2 as a putative regulator of hepatoblast development and/or differentiation in E9.5 livers. The critical role of NR5A2 in Zebrafish development, but currently unvalidated role in human or mouse liver development suggests that further research into NR5A2 is warranted.
Perturbed asymptotic expansions for interior-layer solutions of a semilinear reaction-diffusion problem with small diffusion

description: A semilinear reaction-diffusion two-point boundary value problem, whose second-order derivative is multiplied by a small positive parameter $\eps^2$, is considered. It can have multiple solutions. An asymptotic expansion is constructed for a solution that has an interior layer. Further properties are then established for a perturbation of this expansion. These are used in\cite{KoStMain} to obtain discrete sub-solutions and super-solutions for certain finite difference methods described there, and in this way yield convergence results for those methods.

description: A thorough understanding of the optimal nanoparticle size and surface ligand density to maximise blood-brain barrier penetration is still lacking. This thesis investigates how these factors influence blood-brain barrier targetability and penetration ability of nanoparticles. It identifies optimal parameters for nanoparticle size and surface ligand density in blood-brain barrier penetration using a microfluidic chip model. In addition, it highlights some potential chemotherapy applications using these optimised nanoparticles.
Towards a complete treatment of the cosmological recombination problem

description: A new approach to the cosmological recombination problem is presented, which completes our previous analysis on the effects of two-photon processes during the epoch of cosmological hydrogen recombination, accounting for ns-1s and nd-1s Raman events and two-photon transitions from levels with n>=2. The recombination problem for hydrogen is described using an effective 400-shell multi-level approach, to which we subsequently add all important recombination corrections discussed in the literature thus far. We explicitly solve the radiative transfer equation of the Lyman-series photon field to obtain the required modifications to the rate equations of the resolved levels. In agreement with earlier computations we find that 2s-1s Raman scattering leads to a delay in recombination by DN_e/N_e~0.9% at z~920. Two-photon decay and Raman scattering from higher levels (n>3) result in a small additional modifications, and precise results can be obtained when including their effect for the first 3-5 shells. This work is a major step towards a new cosmological recombination code (CosmoRec) that supersedes the physical model included in Recfast, and which, owing to its short runtime, can be used in the analysis of future CMB data from the Planck Surveyor.

Moving outside spacetime : clay and creative praxis
Creators: name: Yeo, Marika St. Rose
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: This exegesis explores how creative praxes have the potential to disrupt the hold the modern notion of “Time” has on our minds. The exegesis explores this disruption by exposing the ways in which “Time” has contributed to the conditions that produce and sustain violence on a global scale and further offers an analysis regarding the ways in which artistic and creative works allow us to breach from this violence and harm, even if only momentarily. While it is mainly focused on the possibilities that arise through ceramic praxis, it draws from a range of aesthetic approaches that subvert the temporal dominance of a singular unfolding “Time” in order to conceive of the world differently. It is through creative works that it is therefore suggested that there are possibilities to enact alternative options and avenues towards transformation in our global world.
Universal quantum computation with ordered spin-chain networks

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: It is shown that anisotropic spin chains with gapped bulk excitations and magnetically ordered ground states offer a promising platform for quantum computation, which bridges the conventional single-spin-based qubit concept with recently developed topological Majorana-based proposals. We show how to realize the single-qubit Hadamard, phase, and pi/8 gates as well as the two-qubit CNOT gate, which together form a fault-tolerant universal set of quantum gates. The gates are implemented by judiciously controlling Ising exchange and magnetic fields along a network of spin chains, with each individual qubit furnished by a spin-chain segment. A subset of single-qubit operations is geometric in nature, relying on control of anisotropy of spin interactions rather than their strength. We contrast topological aspects of the anisotropic spin-chain networks to those of p-wave superconducting wires discussed in the literature.

description: The reception and resuscitation of critically unwell patients form key areas of practice in emergency medicine with the high potential for medication errors.
There is an unmet need to clarify the role of the EM pharmacist during resuscitation.
This PhD thesis has demonstrated that EM pharmacist involvement in three areas of practice including stroke, sepsis and trauma was associated with significant improvements in efficiency and safety including a reduction in the time to prescribing and administration of time critical medications. The momentum generated calls for continued collaboration and implementation to ensure these models become standard care benefiting patients worldwide.

Continuous Biosorption of Lead (Pb) Using Immobilized Exopolymeric Substances in a Packed Bed Column
Creators: name: TIEW, KAI HAO
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 310799
subject: Microbiology not elsewhere classified

description: Rapid industrialization has led to the increase of metal processing and manufacturing, which generate wastewater containing heavy metal pollutants, including lead (Pb) metal. Conventional wastewater treatment techniques are often costly and generate toxic by-products. Therefore, biobased approaches are employed as an affordable and environmentally friendly alternative. In this study, natural biopolymers such as exopolymeric substances (EPS) produced by bacteria are immobilized in alginate beads to adsorb and remove Pb metal. This study investigates various process parameters of the adsorption process in a packed bed column to optimize the removal of heavy metals from wastewater in a continuous flow.

description: Examples of glasses are abundant, yet it remains one of the phases of matter whose understanding is very elusive. In recent years, remarkable experiments have been performed on the dynamical aspects of glasses. Electron glasses offer a particularly good example of the 'trademarks' of glassy behavior, such as aging and slow relaxations. In this work we review the experimental literature on electron glasses, as well as the local mean-field theoretical framework put forward in recent years to understand some of these results. We also present novel theoretical results explaining the periodic aging experiment.

description: Telco operators are using Software Defined Networks (SDN) and Network Function Virtualisation (NFV) to virtualise a wide range of network functions and link or chain them together to create, deploy and deliver network connectivity services. In such a distributed software networking environment, operators use Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) with Internet Key Exchange (IKEv2) to provide secure connectivity between container network functions running on different computing nodes in their infrastructure. This paper discusses the adoption of the Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) model in IKEv2 for authentication purposes to avoid the high costs associated with identity management of IPsec endpoints using Public-Key Infrastructure (PKI) and X.509 certificates, while preserving all the security features of the protocol. The paper presents a novel design of the IKEv2 message flow with Verifiable Credentials (VCs), its open source implementation as a fork of the strongSwan library, and the successful experimental validation.

description: We consider the security of continuous-variable quantum cryptography as we approach the classical-limit, i.e., when the unknown preparation noise at the sender's station becomes significantly noisy or thermal (even by as much as 10,000 times the variance of the vacuum mode). We show that, provided the channel transmission losses do not exceed 50%, the security of quantum cryptography is not dependent on the channel transmission, and is therefore, incredibly robust against significant amounts of excess preparation noise. We extend these results to consider for the first time quantum cryptography at wavelengths considerably longer than optical and find that regions of security still exist all the way down to the microwave.

Investigation of The Interaction Between Cobra Venom Cytotoxin With TNFR1 Using Computational & Experimental Approaches

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 319999
subject: Other biological sciences not elsewhere classified

description: Cytotoxin is a three-finger toxin present predominantly only in cobra venom. The functional site of the toxin is located at its three hydrophobic loop tips. The actual mechanism of action of cytotoxicity remains inconclusive. The present work aims to investigate the interaction between cytotoxin with death receptor families such as Fas-ligand and TNF receptors via in-silico molecular docking. A conserved cytotoxin sequence was constructed by multiple sequence alignment. The 3D structure of the universal cytotoxin was later determined using homology modelling. The proximity of toxin interaction with death receptors was visualised using HADDOCK with the calculation of intermolecular forces. TNFR1 was the best receptor interacting with cytotoxin. The possible intermolecular interactions between cytotoxin and TNFR1 were Van der Waals forces and hydrogen bonding. Our findings suggest a possibility of cytotoxin triggers caspase-mediated apoptosis through non-covalent interactions with TNFR1.

description: Cosmological simulations of galaxy formation appear to show a two-phase character with a rapid early phase at z>2 during which in-situ stars are formed within the galaxy from infalling cold gas followed by an extended phase since z<3 during which ex-situ stars are primarily accreted. In the latter phase massive systems grow considerably in mass and radius by accretion of smaller satellite stellar systems formed at quite early times (z>3) outside of the virial radius of the forming central galaxy. These tentative conclusions are obtained from high resolution re-simulations of 39 individual galaxies in a full cosmological context with present-day virial halo masses ranging from 7e11 M_sun h^-1 < M_vir < 2.7e13 M_sun h^-1 and central galaxy masses between 4.5e10 M_sun h^-1 < M_* < 3.6e11 M_sun h^-1. The simulations include the effects of a uniform UV background, radiative cooling, star formation and energetic feedback from SNII. The importance of stellar accretion increases with galaxy mass and towards lower redshift. In our simulations lower mass galaxies ($M_* < 9e10 M_sun h^-1) accrete about 60 per cent of their present-day stellar mass. High mass galaxy ($M_* > 1.7e11 M_sun h^-1) assembly is dominated by accretion and merging with about 80 per cent of the stars added by the present-day. In general the simulated galaxies approximately double their mass since z=1. For massive systems this mass growth is not accompanied by significant star formation. The majority of the in-situ created stars is formed at z>2, primarily out of cold gas flows. We recover the observational result of archaeological downsizing, where the most massive galaxies harbor the oldest stars. We find that this is not in contradiction with hierarchical structure formation. Most stars in the massive galaxies are formed early on in smaller structures, the galaxies themselves are assembled late.

description: Abstract: Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental condition with substantial phenotypic, biological, and etiologic heterogeneity. It remains a challenge to identify biomarkers to stratify autism into replicable cognitive or biological subtypes. Here, we aim to introduce a novel methodological framework for parsing neuroanatomical subtypes within a large cohort of individuals with autism. We used cortical thickness (CT) in a large and well-characterized sample of 316 participants with autism (88 female, age mean: 17.2 ± 5.7) and 206 with neurotypical development (79 female, age mean: 17.5 ± 6.1) aged 6–31 years across six sites from the EU-AIMS multi-center Longitudinal European Autism Project. Five biologically based putative subtypes were derived using normative modeling of CT and spectral clustering. Three of these clusters showed relatively widespread decreased CT and two showed relatively increased CT. These subtypes showed morphometric differences from one another, providing a potential explanation for inconsistent case–control findings in autism, and loaded differentially and more strongly onto symptoms and polygenic risk, indicating a dilution of clinical effects across heterogeneous cohorts. Our results provide an important step towards parsing the heterogeneous neurobiology of autism.
Shape of Cosmic String Loops

description: Complicated cosmic string loops will fragment until they reach simple, non-intersecting ("stable") configurations. Through extensive numerical study we characterize these attractor loop shapes including their length, velocity, kink, and cusp distributions. We find that an initial loop containing M harmonic modes will, on average, split into 3M stable loops. These stable loops are approximately described by the degenerate kinky loop, which is planar and rectangular, independently of the number of modes on the initial loop. This is confirmed by an analytic construction of a stable family of perturbed degenerate kinky loops. The average stable loop is also found to have a 40% chance of containing a cusp. We examine the properties of stable loops of different lengths and find only slight variation. Finally we develop a new analytic scheme to explicitly solve the string constraint equations.

description: A large number of current and future experiments in neutrino and dark matter detection use the scintillation light from noble elements as a mechanism for measuring energy deposition. The scintillation light from these elements is produced in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) range, from 60 - 200 nm. Currently, the most practical technique for observing light at these wavelengths is to surround the scintillation volume with a thin film of Tetraphenyl Butadiene (TPB) to act as a fluor. The TPB film absorbs EUV photons and reemits visible photons, detectable with a variety of commercial photosensors. Here we present a measurement of the re-emission spectrum of TPB films when illuminated with 128, 160, 175, and 250 nm light. We also measure the fluorescence efficiency as a function of incident wavelength from 120 to 250 nm.

Wind-driven upwelling and nutrient supply in a productive estuarine sea
Creators: name: Moore-Maley, Benjamin Lee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Marine ecosystems are under increasing pressure due to climate change. Wind-driven circulation in the upper ocean is one of the primary ways that climate determines ecosystem behavior. One example is wind-driven upwelling of nutrients to the euphotic zone. In small enclosed seas where stratification is often strong and wind sporadic, the significance of nutrient upwelling is not well-established. These small systems can be important habitats for juvenile migrating fish such as Pacific salmon. In this thesis, wind-driven upwelling and the effect on surface nitrate availability were investigated in the Strait of Georgia on the Canadian Pacific coast using a high-resolution, coupled biophysical ocean model. This investigation was conducted in three parts. First, the model skill was evaluated against observations from local monitoring programs, and the sensitivity of tuning the surface wave breaking parameterization using wave model results from the region was tested. Second, principal component analysis (PCA) was performed on five years of modelled hourly surface nitrate and temperature fields to identify the wind-driven upwelling modes and determine their significance relative to other processes. Spectral analysis of the principal component (PC) loadings and correlations between the PC loadings and the surface wind stress were used to attribute the dominant PCA modes to physical phenomena. Third, depth of upwelling estimates from cross-shore density transects during a comprehensive set of wind events across the five-year simulation were compared to a theoretical cross-shore upwelling model depending only on wind stress, stratification and cross-shore bottom slope to identify the physical parameters that control upwelling. Upwelling accounted for approximately one-third of summer surface nitrate variance based on the PCA results. Modelled upwelling depth generally agreed with the theoretical prediction and was thus interpreted to depend primarily on wind stress and stratification. The deepest upwelling and strongest nitrate anomalies occurred in the northern Strait of Georgia, which is consistent with the presence of an along-axis stratification gradient due to the Fraser River. These results establish a direct link between climate forcing and the factors that determine upwelling in the Strait of Georgia, with strong implications for summer productivity in the region.

description: The earlier paper "Introduction to clarithmetic I" constructed an axiomatic system of arithmetic based on computability logic (see http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~giorgi/cl.html), and proved its soundness and extensional completeness with respect to polynomial time computability. The present paper elaborates three additional sound and complete systems in the same style and sense: one for polynomial space computability, one for elementary recursive time (and/or space) computability, and one for primitive recursive time (and/or space) computability.

description: We estimate the rotation speed of Population III (Pop III) stars within a minihalo at z ~ 20 using a smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulation, beginning from cosmological initial conditions. We follow the evolution of the primordial gas up to densities of 10^12 cm^-3. Representing the growing hydrostatic cores with accreting sink particles, we measure the velocities and angular momenta of all particles that fall onto these protostellar regions. This allows us to record the angular momentum of the sinks and estimate the rotational velocity of the Pop III stars expected to form within them. The rotation rate has important implications for the evolution of the star, the fate encountered at the end of its life, and the potential for triggering a gamma-ray burst (GRB). We find that there is sufficient angular momentum to yield rapidly rotating stars (> 1000 km s^-1, or near break-up speeds). This indicates that Pop III stars likely experienced strong rotational mixing, impacting their structure and nucleosynthetic yields. A subset of them was also likely to result in hypernova explosions, and possibly GRBs.

description: We propose a circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED) realization of a protocol to generate a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state for $N$ superconducting transmon qubits homogeneously coupled to a superconducting transmission line resonator in the dispersive limit. We derive an effective Hamiltonian with pairwise qubit exchange interactions of the XY type, $\tilde{g}(XX+YY)$, that can be globally controlled. Starting from a separable initial state, these interactions allow to generate a multi-qubit GHZ state within a time $t_{\text{GHZ}}\sim \tilde{g}^{-1}$. We discuss how to probe the non-local nature and the genuine $N$-partite entanglement of the generated state. Finally, we investigate the stability of the proposed scheme to inhomogeneities in the physical parameters.
