description: We prove that proper pseudo-holomorphic maps between strictly pseudoconvex regions in almost complex manifolds extend to the boundary. The key point is that the Jacobian is far from zero near the boundary, and the proof is mainly based on an almost complex analogue of the scaling method. We also establish a link between the regularity of the extension and the regularity of the almost complex structures, and we determine explicit estimates for the Hölderian norms. As a corollary, we get in the smooth case a necessary and sufficient condition on the almost complex structure of the target's space for the smooth extension of proper pseudo-holomorphic maps.

description: Spatial resolution adaptation is a technique which has often been employed in video compression to enhance coding efficiency. This approach encodes a lower resolution version of the input video and reconstructs the original resolution during decoding. Instead of using conventional up-sampling filters, recent work has employed advanced super-resolution methods based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to further improve reconstruction quality. These approaches are usually trained to minimise pixel-based losses such as Mean-Squared Error (MSE), despite the fact that this type of loss metric does not correlate well with subjective opinions. In this paper, a perceptually-inspired super-resolution approach (M-SRGAN) is proposed for spatial up-sampling of compressed video using a modified CNN model, which has been trained using a generative adversarial network (GAN) on compressed content with perceptual loss functions. The proposed method was integrated with HEVC HM 16.20, and has been evaluated on the JVET Common Test Conditions (UHD test sequences) using the Random Access configuration. The results show evident perceptual quality improvement over the original HM 16.20, with an average bitrate saving of 35.6% (Bjøntegaard Delta measurement) based on a perceptual quality metric, VMAF.
Effective action of beta-deformed N = 4 SYM theory: Farewell to two-loop BPS diagrams

description: Within the background field approach, all two-loop sunset vacuum diagrams, which occur in the Coulomb branch of N = 2 superconformal theories(including N = 4 SYM), obey the BPS condition m_3 = m_1 + m_2, where the masses are generated by the scalars belonging to a background N = 2 vector multiplet. These diagrams can be evaluated exactly, and prove to be homogeneous quadratic functions of the one-loop tadpoles J(m_1^2), J(m_2^2) and J(m_3^2), with the coefficients being rational functions of the squared masses. We demonstrate that, if one switches on the beta-deformation of the N = 4 SYM theory, the BPS condition no longer holds, and then generic two-loop sunset vacuum diagrams with three non-vanishing masses prove to be characterized by the following property: 2(m_1^2 m_2^2 +m_1^2 m_3^2 +m_2^2 m_3^2) > m_1^4 +m_2^4 +m_3^4. In the literature, there exist several techniques to compute such diagrams. For the beta-deformed N = 4 SYM theory, we carry out explicit two-loop calculations of the Kahler potential and F^4 term. Our considerations are restricted to the case of beta real.

Counselling of age-related risks and prenatal diagnosis : an overview of community and medical genetics counselling
Creators: name: Sedun, Karen Leah
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The effectiveness of genetic counselling regarding risks associated with advanced maternal age (AMA) and prenatal diagnosis (PND) was assessed in three groups of women; those with AMA only who are counselled by their primary care physician or obstetrician within the community (AO, N=311), those with AMA plus a minor concern (s) who are counselled by genetic counsellors (AP, N=52), and those with AMA as well as complex indications for prenatal diagnosis such that they are counselled by genetic counsellors and medical geneticists (AC, N=36). Subjects were asked to complete two questionnaires. Patients in AO completed the first questionnaire (Ql) after receiving counselling from their primary care physician in the community and before having a prenatal diagnostic procedure. Patients in AP and AC completed Ql at the Medical Genetics clinic immediately before their genetic counselling. Patients in all three groups completed the second questionnaire (Q2) either immediately after their procedure before leaving the hospital or within four weeks postprocedure, prior to receiving their test results. The questionnaires were designed to look at subjects' knowledge of the information normally presented in AMA counselling and to assess the emotional responses of women regarding their involvement with PND. Patients in all three groups were more informed in Ql and Q2 regarding risks associated with having a procedure than risks associated with a chromosomal abnormality. While a majority of the women in each group said that they had been told the risk estimates requested of them, the number of women in each group who subsequently reproduced these figures was less than a majority. Finally, patients in all three groups demonstrated a decrease in anxiety once the procedure was complete. The effectiveness of the genetic counselling process does not appear to be related to those providing the genetic counselling or the patient's ability to recall factual information.

Neuropathology of Dystonia
Creators: name: Sharma, Nutan
Publisher: name: Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements
Year: 2019

description: Background: Dystonia is characterized by sustained or intermittent muscle contractions resulting in abnormal, often repetitive, movements, postures, or both. Neuropathologic research has been essential in understanding the etiology and disease progression of other movement disorders, including Parkinson’s disease and cerebellar ataxias. In the field of dystonia, however, research is stymied by the paucity of post-mortem tissue available and the phenotypic heterogeneity found in those with dystonia. Methods: A PubMed search was conducted using the term “neuropathology of dystonia”. The resulting list of references was limited to English-language human neuropathology articles. A total of 20 publications were retrieved and reviewed. Results: Historically, based on study of acquired forms of dystonia, lesions of the putamen and globus pallidus have been identified as causing dystonia. After the identification of genetic causes of dystonia and the study of limited tissue available from those cases, as well as findings from cases of isolated focal and segmental dystonia, there is evidence that brainstem cholinergic neurons and specific cell populations within the cerebellum also play a role in the pathophysiology of dystonia. Discussion: Based on limited available brain tissue, there is evidence that the pathophysiology of dystonia may involve a combination of dysfunction within neurons of the brainstem, cerebellum, putamen, and globus pallidus. In order to gain a better understanding of the pathophysiology of dystonia, a prospective, quantitative study in well-phenotyped subjects with different types of genetic and isolated dystonia is required.

AB Aurigae: Possible evidence of planet formation through the gravitational instability

description: Recent observations of the protoplanetary disc surrounding AB Aurigae have revealed the possible presence of two giant planets in the process of forming. The young measured age of $1-4$Myr for this system allows us to place strict time constraints on the formation histories of the observed planets. Hence we may be able to make a crucial distinction between formation through core accretion (CA) or the gravitational instability (GI), as CA formation timescales are typically Myrs whilst formation through GI will occur within the first $\approx10^4-10^5$yrs of disc evolution. We focus our analysis on the $4-13$M$_{\rm Jup}$ planet observed at $R\approx30$AU. We find CA formation timescales for such a massive planet typically exceed the system's age. The planet's high mass and wide orbit may instead be indicative of formation through GI. We use smoothed particle hydrodynamic simulations to determine the system's critical disc mass for fragmentation, finding $M_{\rm d,crit}=0.3$M$_{\odot}$. Viscous evolution models of the disc's mass history indicate that it was likely massive enough to exceed $M_{\rm d,crit}$ in the recent past, thus it is possible that a young AB Aurigae disc may have fragmented to form multiple giant gaseous protoplanets. Calculations of the Jeans mass in an AB Aurigae-like disc find that fragments may initially form with masses $1.6-13.3$M$_{\rm Jup}$, consistent with the planets which have been observed. We therefore propose that the inferred planets in the disc surrounding AB Aurigae may be evidence of planet formation through GI.

description: Clinical Vignette: A 73-year-old female with essential tremor (ET) underwent bilateral thalamic ventralis intermedius (Vim) deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery. The leads provided tremor benefit, but the location was suboptimal and contributed to stimulation-induced hemichorea. Clinical Dilemma: Can patients with ET derive benefit when stimulating outside the Vim? What do we know about stimulation-induced hemichorea in the setting of ET? Clinical Solution: Lead localization combined with advanced programming strategies can be employed to troubleshoot DBS in settings when benefits are observed along with adverse effects. Gap in Knowledge: Sparse information exists about DBS when applied to neuroanatomic regions outside the Vim for the management of ET. Subthalamic nucleus DBS-induced chorea has been reported in multiple movement disorders, but not in ET.

$A_n^{(1)}$ affine Toda field theories with integrable boundary conditions revisited

description: Generic classically integrable boundary conditions for the $A_{n}^{(1)}$ affine Toda field theories (ATFT) are investigated. The present analysis rests primarily on the underlying algebra, defined by the classical version of the reflection equation. We use as a prototype example the first non-trivial model of the hierarchy i.e. the $A_2^{(1)}$ ATFT, however our results may be generalized for any $A_{n}^{(1)}$ ($n>1$). We assume here two distinct types of boundary conditions called some times soliton preserving (SP), and soliton non-preserving (SNP) associated to two distinct algebras, i.e. the reflection algebra and the ($q$) twisted Yangian respectively. The boundary local integrals of motion are then systematically extracted from the asymptotic expansion of the associated transfer matrix. In the case of SNP boundary conditions we recover previously known results. The other type of boundary conditions (SP), associated to the reflection algebra, are novel in this context and lead to a different set of conserved quantities that depend on free boundary parameters. It also turns out that the number of local integrals of motion for SP boundary conditions is `double' compared to those of the SNP case.

description: This paper presents a simple decidable logic of functional dependence LFD, based on an extension of classical propositional logic with dependence atoms plus dependence quantifiers treated as modalities, within the setting of generalized assignment semantics for first order logic. The expressive strength, complete proof calculus and meta-properties of LFD are explored. Various language extensions are presented as well, up to undecidable modal-style logics for independence and dynamic logics of changing dependence models. Finally, more concrete settings for dependence are discussed: continuous dependence in topological models, linear dependence in vector spaces, and temporal dependence in dynamical systems and games.

description: We characterize non-Hermitian band structures by symmetry indicator topological invariants. Enabled by crystalline inversion symmetry, these indicators allow us to short-cut the calculation of conventional non-Hermitian topological invariants. In particular, we express the three-dimensional winding number of point-gapped non-Hermitian systems, which is defined as an integral over the whole Brillouin zone, in terms of symmetry eigenvalues at high-symmetry momenta. Furthermore, for time-reversal symmetric non-Hermitian topological insulators, we find that symmetry indicators characterize the associated Chern-Simons form, whose evaluation usually requires a computationally expensive choice of smooth gauge. In each case, we discuss the non-Hermitian surface states associated with nontrivial symmetry indicators.

Pseudoscopic imaging in a double diffraction process with a slit: critical point properties

description: Pseudoscopic (inverted depth) images that keep a continuous parallax were shown to be possible by use of a double diffraction process intermediated by a slit. One diffraction grating directing light to the slit acts as a wavelength encoder of views, while a second diffraction grating decodes the projected image. The process results in the enlargement of the image under common white light illumination up to infinite magnification at a critical point. We show that this point corresponds to another simple-symmetry object-observer system. Our treatment allows us to explain the experience by just dealing with main ray directions.

Additionally, through inclusion of self-declarations gathered in the scope of subsidy control from all countries of the European Union (EU), this dataset highlights the difficulties and pitfalls one comes across when operating on a transnational level. We, therefore, also introduce a new taxonomy scheme, HCAT-ID, that aspires to capture all the aspects of reference data originating from administrative and agency databases. To address researchers from both the remote sensing and the computer vision and machine learning communities, we publish the dataset in different formats and processing levels.

description: The Carisealand (Caribbean Sea and Land) digital research project, launched in 2015 by scholar, teacher, and activist Schuyler K Esprit, provides an interactive framework within which to imagine a more sustainable way of life for Caribbean people, both in the present day and in the future. The project aims to create awareness around the impact of climate change in the Caribbean region; to initiate and sustain collaborations with scholars and artists in an effort to find solutions to social injustices resulting from climate change activity; and to present models for alternate Caribbean futures. The project is interdisciplinary; it is undergirded by thoughtful humanistic considerations of and scientific, anthropological, and sociological inquiries into the ways and extent to which the diverse linguistic, ethnic, social, and other spaces of the Caribbean endure the “natural” effects of empire. Through sustained engagement with an ever-widening community of regional cultural and political actors, Carisealand offers a platform on which to showcase visions of survival through the perils of a changing natural environment, including recent massive hurricanes.

Significant differences were found between these populations in 27 morphometric traits. A Principal Component Analysis (PCA) showed that the upper caudal-fin length and the maximum body depth are effective characters along the PC1 and PC2 axis, and based on MONOVA/CVA, the differences between the studied populations are significant (P<0.01). Morphometric characters were more powerful than meristic characters in distinguishing L. aspius populations. It is discussed whether differences in habitats and spawning grounds affect morphological traits.

A/a incompatibility in Neurospora crassa : novel suppressors and nuclear incompatibility
Creators: name: Vellani, Trina Sehar
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The sexual functions of the mating type gene (mt) of Neurospora crassa include specification of mating identity (Shear and Dodge, 1927) and perithecial maturation (Griffiths and DeLange, 1978; Staben and Yanofsky, 1990). The gene also acts as a vegetative incompatibility locus, so that A + a heterokaryons (Beadle and Coonradt, 1944) or A/a duplication strains (Newmeyer and Taylor, 1967) grow poorly or not at all. An intriguing question regarding the mating type gene is this: How does it control both the switch between somatic and meiotic events and heterokaryon incompatibility? Several research groups (Glass, et al., 1990; Staben and Yanofsky, 1990) are presently studying the sexual functions of the mating type genes. I present a study of the incompatibility function. Two experiments were performed. The first was a search for new suppressors of mating type-associated incompatibility, which resulted in the identification of seven new suppressors, none of which was allelic with the one known suppressor, tol. The second was the comparison of growth rates of a mating type mutant (fertile, heterokaryon compatible) in a mixed mating type heterokaryon and in a mixed mating type duplication to determine whether or not cytoplasmic incompatibility is separable from nuclear incompatibility. The results obtained suggest that the mating type mutant, am33, eliminates heterokaryon incompatibility without eliminating nuclear incompatibility. The search for suppressors was attempted in order to define more of the genes involved in A/a incompatibility. The analysis of heterokaryon versus nuclear incompatibility was done to investigate the cellular interactions involved in A/a incompatibility.

description: We study the phase behavior of hard spheres confined between two parallel hard plates using extensive computer simulations. We determine the full equilibrium phase diagram for arbitrary densities and plate separations from one to five hard-sphere diameters using free energy calculations. We find a first-order fluid-solid transition, which corresponds to either capillary freezing or melting depending on the plate separation. The coexisting solid phase consists of crystalline layers with either triangular or square symmetry. Increasing the plate separation, we find a sequence of crystal structures from n triangular to (n+1) square to (n+1) triangular, where n is the number of crystal layers, in agreement with experiments on colloids. At high densities, the transition between square to triangular phases are intervened by intermediate structures, e.g., prism, buckled, and rhombic phases.

The undoing experience : antecedents, consequences, and individual differences
Creators: name: Davis, Christopher G.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Data from role-play studies suggest that when negative events occur, people tend to mentally simulate alternative, counterfactual scenarios wherein the event does not occur. The present research investigates the extent to which individuals generate counterfactuals following their own significant life events. Data from 174 undergraduates, each describing two of their most significant life events, indicate that 82% of events were cognitively undone at least "sometimes" within the first month after the event's occurrence (reported retrospectively). Factors that predicted an absence of undoing included events rated (by subjects) as less significant at the time of their occurrence, not the subject's fault, and inevitable. While two personality constructs, neuroticism and ruminativeness, as well as the situational factors noted above, predicted how frequently events were undone within the first month of their occurrence, only the personality constructs predicted frequency of current undoing. The frequency of undoing at the time of the event was also correlated with subjects' role-playing estimates of how frequently they would undo a hypothetical scenario, while current frequency of undoing was correlated with how long role-playing subjects estimated they would continue to undo the hypothetical scenario. In sum, these results suggest that situational and personality factors play different and independent roles in the undoing process. Situational factors were most predictive of the likelihood and initial frequency of undoing, while dispositional factors were most predictive of the persistence of the undoing thoughts.

description: In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient optimal altitude for an aerial access point (AAP), which acts as a flying base station to serve a set of ground user equipment (UE). Since the ratio of total energy consumed by the aerial vehicle to the communication energy is very large, we include the aerial vehicle's energy consumption in the problem formulation. After considering the energy consumption model of the aerial vehicle, our objective is translated into a non-convex optimization problem of maximizing the global energy efficiency (GEE) of the aerial communication system, subject to altitude and minimum individual data rate constraints. At first, the non-convex fractional objective function is solved by using sequential convex programming (SCP) optimization technique. To compare the result of SCP with the global optimum of the problem, we reformulate the initial problem as a monotonic fractional optimization problem (MFP) and solve it using the polyblock outer approximation (PA) algorithm. Numerical results show that the candidate solution obtained from SCP is the same as the global optimum found using the monotonic fractional programming technique. Furthermore, the impact of the aerial vehicle's energy consumption on the optimal altitude determination is also studied.

description: We investigate the dynamical interaction between a galactic disk and surrounding numerous dark subhalos as expected for a galaxy-sized halo in the cold dark matter (CDM) models. Our particular interest is to what extent accretion events of subhalos into a disk are allowed in light of the observed thinness of a disk. Several models of subhalos are considered in terms of their internal density distribution, mass function, and spatial and velocity distributions. Based on a series of N-body simulations, we find that the disk thickening quantified by the change of its scale height, Delta z_d, depends strongly on the individual mass of an interacting subhalo M_{sub}. This is described by the relation, Delta z_d / R_d = 8 Sum_{j=1}^N (M_{sub,j}/M_d)**2, where R_d is a disk scale length, M_d is a disk mass, and N is the total number of accretion events of subhalos inside a disk region (< 3R_d). Using this relation, we find that an observed thin disk has not ever interacted with subhalos with the total mass of more than 15% disk mass. Also, a less massive disk with smaller circular velocity V_c is more affected by subhalos than a disk with larger V_c, in agreement with the observation. Further implications of our results for the origin of a thick disk component are also discussed.

description: This essay analyzes the role that experimental work played in the multi-institutional, cross-boundary collaborative construction of the RSHHGG Lab, an interactive online index of Haiti’s preeminent social science journal, the Revue de la Société haïtienne d’histoire, de géographie et de géologie. Here, the authors understand experimentation to be a mindset, an attitude of “try it and see what happens” through iterative small risks and an openness to involving others and changing direction. This approach draws on the spirit of collaboration, experimentation, and sharing that informs the LC Labs initiative at the Library of Congress, and the revue (magazine-journal) as a print space of exchange, confrontation, and collective creation. Following recent reflections on information maintenance and care ethics, the authors agree that infrastructures of information maintenance are often invisible and institutionally siloed and tend to reproduce structures of oppression and silencing. They aim here to highlight the institutional and infrastructural experimentation and labor necessary to create what is, essentially, a project of information management: making a key repository of knowledge usable, discoverable and accessible. The authors contend that experimental work was central to successfully working within—and also challenging—extant infrastructures of information maintenance in order to achieve an independent, sustainable project with room to grow and transform. In attending to the various processes of experimentation that underwrote the RSHHGG Lab, the authors hope to demonstrate the fruitfulness of cross-boundary collaborative projects and, ultimately, to advocate for more infrastructures of experimentation in many forms: research leave, labs, residencies, and further creative approaches to blurring the boundaries of labor.

description: Internal photoemission spectroscopy was used to determine the Schottky barrier height in rectifying SrRuO3/Nb-doped SrTiO3 junctions for 0.01 wt % and 0.5 wt % Nb concentrations. Good agreement was obtained with the barrier height deduced from capacitance-voltage measurements, provided that a model of the nonlinear permittivity of SrTiO3 was incorporated in extrapolating the built-in potential, particularly for high Nb concentrations. Given the generic polarizability of perovskites under internal/external electric fields, internal photoemission provides a valuable independent probe of the interface electronic structure.

description: Tufted Ghost Crabs (Ocypode cursor) experience local population declines and also range contractions at larger spatial scales due to increasing anthropogenic pressures on coastal ecosystems. Therefore, the environmental drivers of the decline in ghost crab populations and the efficiency of protection measures are needed to be better understood for more efficient coastal management. We surveyed Tufted Ghost Crab populations along a 3 km coastline in the Levant Basin of the Mediterranean, which hosts two protected with low and two public beaches with intense human recreational use. Abundance and distribution of the crabs were surveyed along 24 transect counts. The protected beaches hosted more burrows than corresponding nearby public beaches and the ghost crabs in the protected beaches inhabited a larger habitat band. Furthermore, Tufted Ghost Crab populations in the protected beaches consisted of more diverse age groups than that of public beaches, which lacked the smaller size crabs. Overall, our survey corroborated the role of Tufted Ghost Crabs as indicator species of coastal ecosystems and demonstrated the potential role of small protected zones within urbanized coastal regions as refugia for Tufted Ghost Crabs.
Enhanced carrier scattering rates in dilute magnetic semiconductors with correlated impurities

description: In III-V dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) such as Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$As, the impurity positions tend to be correlated, which can drastically affect the electronic transport properties of these materials. Within the memory function formalism we have derived a general expression for the current relaxation kernel in spin and charge disordered media and have calculated spin and charge scattering rates in the weak-disorder limit. Using a simple model for magnetic impurity clustering, we find a significant enhancement of the charge scattering. The enhancement is sensitive to cluster parameters and may be controllable through post-growth annealing.

title: A Caribbean Counter-Edition: Digital Grainger and the Breaking of James Grainger’s The Sugar-Cane
Creators: name: Takahata, Kimberly
Publisher: name: Columbia University Libraries

description: An approximately twenty-five-hundred-line poem, James Grainger’s The Sugar-Cane (1764) details the process of sugar production on eighteenth-century Caribbean plantations and celebrates the commercial might of the British Empire. This article discusses Digital Grainger: An Online Edition of “The Sugar-Cane” (1764) and how it challenges Grainger’s poetic imperialism by presenting readers with a counter-edition, versus an edition, of Grainger’s poem. Furthermore, it examines the central connection between the digital nature of the counter-edition and its ability to reflect editing practices inspired by Caribbean traditions of postcolonial scholarship. In particular, the Digital Grainger team built an openly accessible edition of the poem that can be loaded on lower internet capacities and a variety of devices, attending to the embodied and material conditions of the digital archive. The site provides more than seven hundred footnotes to contextualize and challenge Grainger’s authority and proslavery argument, building networks around the text to offer readers alternative understandings of the poem. The primary intervention, however, is “The Counter-Plantation,” comprised of excerpts that collect and highlight themes of Afro-Caribbean and indigenous expertise, survival, and resistance. As such, Digital Grainger stages this intervention by “breaking apart” the poetic lines and footnotes of The Sugar-Cane to highlight how possibilities for life were structural elements of settler colonialism and plantation slavery. These methods emphasize long histories of Caribbean exchange and encounter, ultimately working to read a colonial text in a manner that does not replicate its mission and violence. At the same time, Digital Grainger reveals that further work must be done to truly decolonize Caribbean digital archives, confronting the legacy of colonial silencing.

description: Anisotropy is one factor that appears to be significantly important in the studies of relativistic compact stars. In this paper, we make a generalization of the Buchdahl limit by incorporating an anisotropic effect for a selected class of exact solutions describing anisotropic stellar objects. In the isotropic case of a homogeneous distribution, we regain the Buchdahl limit $2M/R \leq 8/9$. Our investigation shows a direct link between the maximum allowed compactness and pressure anisotropy vi-a-vis geometry of the associated $3$-space.
