description: In a multiwavelength program dedicated to identifying optical counterparts of faint persistent X-ray sources in the Galactic Bulge, we find an accurate X-ray position of SAX J1712.6-3739 through Chandra observations, and discover its faint optical counterpart using our data from EFOSC2 on the ESO 3.6m telescope. We find this source to be a highly extincted neutron star LMXB with blue optical colours. We serendipitously discover a relatively bright and large bow shock shaped nebula in our deep narrowband H alpha imaging, most likely associated with the X-ray binary. A nebula like this has never been observed before in association with a LMXB, and as such provides a unique laboratory to study the energetics of accretion and jets. We put forward different models to explain the possible ways the LMXB may form this nebulosity, and outline how they can be confirmed observationally.

description: There are many tools available for rendering geospatial data in web maps, but scientific use cases like mapping multi-dimensional climate data push existing tools to their limits. Our new [open-source library](https://github.com/carbonplan/maps) supports loading numerical, multi-dimensional raster data stored in the Zarr format and directly rendering data tiles in the browser using WebGL. This approach supports rendering data with arbitrary dimensions and provides a lightweight interface to configure the rendering of that data, including the ability to perform calculations to combine data across dimensions. In this talk, we present an explanation of how this library integrates with Zarr data, some sample use cases, and next steps for the library. Live slides and demos can be viewed here.
Correlation energy of two electrons in the high-density limit

description: We consider the high-density-limit correlation energy $\Ec$ in $D \ge 2$ dimensions for the $^1S$ ground states of three two-electron systems: helium (in which the electrons move in a Coulombic field), spherium (in which they move on the surface of a sphere), and hookium (in which they move in a quadratic potential). We find that the $\Ec$ values are strikingly similar, depending strongly on $D$ but only weakly on the external potential. We conjecture that, for large $D$, the limiting correlation energy $\Ec \sim -δ^2/8$ in any confining external potential, where $δ= 1/(D-1)$.

description: We present a spectroscopic study of Leo V, a recently discovered satellite of the Milky Way (MW). From stellar spectra obtained with the MMT/Hectochelle spectrograph we identify seven likely members of Leo V. Five cluster near the Leo V center (R < 3 arcmin) and have velocity dispersion 2.4_{-1.4}^{+2.4} km/s. The other two likely members lie near each other but far from the center (R~13 arcmin ~ 700 pc) and inflate the global velocity dispersion to 3.7_{-1.4}^{+2.3} km/s. Assuming the five central members are bound, we obtain a dynamical mass of M=3.3_{-2.5}^{+9.1} x 10^5M_{sun} (M/L_V=75_{-58}^{+230}[M/L_V]_{sun}). From the stacked spectrum of the five central members we estimate a mean metallicity of [Fe/H]=-2.0\pm 0.2 dex. Thus with respect to dwarf spheroidals of similar luminosity, Leo V is slightly less massive and slightly more metal-rich. Since we resolve the central velocity dispersion only marginally, we do not rule out the possibility that Leo V is a diffuse star cluster devoid of dark matter. The wide separation of its two outer members implies Leo V is losing mass; however, its large distance (D ~ 180 kpc) is difficult to reconcile with MW tidal stripping unless the orbit is very radial.

description: (Abridged) We present maps for various Galactic longitudes and latitudes at 1.4 GHz, which is the frequency where deep SKA surveys are proposed. The maps are about 1.5 deg in size and have an angular resolution of about 1.6 arcsec. We analyse the maps in terms of their probability density functions (PDFs) and structure functions. Total intensity emission is more smooth in the plane than at high latitudes due to the different contributions from the regular and random magnetic field. The high latitude fields show more extended polarized emission and RM structures than those in the plane, where patchy emission structures on very small scales dominate. The RM PDFs in the plane are close to Gaussians, but clearly deviate from that at high latitudes. The RM structure functions show smaller amplitudes and steeper slopes towards high latitudes. These results emerge from the fact that much more turbulent cells are passed through by the line-of-sights in the plane. Although the simulated random magnetic field components distribute in 3D, the magnetic field spectrum extracted from the structure functions of RMs conforms to 2D in the plane and approaches 3D at high latitudes. This is partly related to the outer scale of the turbulent magnetic field, but mainly to the different lengths of the line-of-sights.

description: The brightest Ultra-Luminous X-ray source HLX-1 in the galaxy ESO 243-49 currently provides strong evidence for the existence of intermediate mass black holes. Here we present the latest multi-wavelength results on this intriguing source in X-ray, UV and radio bands. We have refined the X-ray position to sub-arcsecond accuracy. We also report the detection of UV emission that could indicate ongoing star formation in the region around HLX-1. The lack of detectable radio emission at the X-ray position strengthens the argument against a background AGN.

description: The incidence of benign ureteroenteric strictures following radical cystectomy (RC) for urinary bladder cancer (UBC) is investigated mainly in single-centre studies from high-volume centres. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cumulative incidence of strictures and risk factors in a population-based cohort. Data was collected from Bladder Cancer Data Base Sweden (BladderBaSe). The primary endpoint was stricture with intervention. Secondary endpoint included hydronephrosis both with/without intervention. In total, 5,816 patients were registered as having had RC due to UBC between 1997 and 2014. After a median follow-up of 23.5 months (IQR = 9.0–63.1 months; range = 0.0–214.0 months), we found that 515 (8.9%) patients underwent intervention for stricture. Seven hundred and sixty-one (13.1%) patients were diagnosed with hydronephrosis without intervention. The cumulative incidence of strictures with intervention was 19.7% (95% CI = 16.7–23.1%) during the 17 years of follow-up. In the first year, the cumulative incidence of strictures was 5.6% (95% CI = 5.0–6.2%), and in the first 2 years 8.4% (95% CI = 7.6–9.3%). For the secondary endpoint, the cumulative incidence was 30.4% (95% CI = 26.7–33.1%) after 17 years. Only the year of RC was associated with stricture incidence in Cox regression analysis, whereas hospital cystectomy volume, patient age and patient sex were not. Ureteroenteric strictures requiring intervention may be more common than previously reported, affecting nearly one fifth of patients who have undergone RC for UBC. The annual incidence was highest in the first 2 years after surgery but the cumulative incidence increased continuously during 17 years of follow-up.

description: Autophagy is a catabolic process responsible for the removal of waste and damaged cellular components by lysosomal degradation. It plays a key role in fundamental cell processes, including ER stress mitigation, control of cell metabolism, and cell differentiation and proliferation, all of which are essential for cartilage cell (chondrocyte) development and survival, and for the formation of cartilage. Correspondingly, autophagy dysregulation has been implicated in several skeletal disorders such as osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. To test the requirement for autophagy during skeletal development in zebrafish, we generated an atg13 CRISPR knockout zebrafish line. This line showed a complete loss of atg13 expression, and restricted autophagic activity in vivo. In the absence of autophagy, chondrocyte maturation was accelerated, with chondrocytes exhibiting signs of premature hypertrophy. Focussing on the jaw element, autophagy disruption affected joint articulation causing restricted mouth opening. This gross behavioural phenotype corresponded with a failure to thrive, and death in homozygote atg13 nulls within 17 days. Taken together, our results are consistent with autophagy contributing to the timely regulation of chondrocyte maturation and for extracellular matrix formation.
Coherent propagation of waves in random media with weak nonlinearity

description: We develop a diagrammatic theory for transport of waves in disordered media with weak nonlinearity. We first represent the solution of the nonlinear wave equation as a nonlinear Born series. From this, we construct nonlinear ladder and crossed diagrams for the average wave intensity. Then, we sum up the diagrammatic series completely, i.e. nonperturbatively in the strength of the nonlinearity, and thereby obtain integral equations describing both nonlinear diffusive transport and coherent backscattering of the average intensity. As main result, we find that the nonlinearity significantly influences the magnitude of the coherent backscattering effect. Depending on the type of nonlinearity, coherent backscattering is either enhanced or suppressed, as compared to the linear case.

Adrenocortical function in the duck (Anas platyrhynchos)
Creators: name: Donaldson, Edward Mossop
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: 18-hydroxycorticosterone, aldosterone and corticosterone were positively characterized in duck adrenal incubates. A compound resembling 11-dehydrocorticosterone was also present. The addition of 1 I.U. of ACTH/100 mg of adrenal tissue caused an increase in the production rate of all four steroids. The most dramatic effect however, was observed with respect to the synthesis of corticosterone. Aldosterone-4-¹⁴C and 18-hydroxycorticosterone-4-¹⁴C were isolated from the media of adrenal glands incubated in the presence of a tracer amount of corticosterone-4-¹⁴C. During the incubation the maximum specific activity recorded for aldosterone-4-¹⁴C was 66% of the specific activity of the precursor. This observation indicated that the primary pathway to aldosterone in the duck adrenal was probably via corticosterone. 18-hydroxycorticosterone may be an intermediate between corticosterone and aldosterone or may be a distinct end product of unknown biological activity. No difference in the biological half-life (T₁/2) of corticosterone was found between fresh-water maintained fresh-water loaded birds and birds maintained on fresh water or saline and loaded with saline. An increase in the apparent volume of distribution (A.V.D.) of corticosterone was found however in saline loaded ducks. This resulted in an increased secretory rate of corticosterone in those animals loaded with saline. In the saline maintained ducks an increased adrenal size was responsible for the enhanced corticosterone secretory rate. In those ducks maintained on fresh water and loaded with saline a weight specific increase in the corticosterone secretory rate was apparent. The implications of the increased corticosterone secretory rate are discussed in relation to the known dependence of nasal gland function in marine birds on a functional adrenal cortex.

description: We investigate magnetic monopole solutions of the non-abelian DBI action describing 2 coincident non-BPS D9-branes in flat space. Just as in the case of kink and vortex solitonic tachyon solutions of the full DBI non-BPS actions, as previously analyzed by Sen, these monopole configurations are singular in the first instance and require regularization. We discuss a suitable non-abelian ansatz and show it solves the equations of motion to leading order in the regularization parameter. Fluctuations are studied and shown to describe a codimension 3 BPS D6-brane. A formula is derived for its tension. We comment on the implication to our results from both the trace (Tr) and symmetrized trace (Str) prescriptions of the non-abelian DBI action of coincident non-BPS D9-branes.

In what I argue can be called a scattered personal public, these men negotiate internal desires and external expectations to produce “raw” or “authentic” sexually explicit material (SEM) in a community on Twitter colloquially known as “Spicy” Gay Twitter. Generally driven to this virtual space in hopes of organically being “seen” or feeling “found”, content creators in fact must master a variety of techniques to curate appropriately engaging content. Eventually transforming their profiles into commodified, promotional exhibits which guide their audience from a scattered personal public (Spicy Gay Twitter) to an exclusive, subscription-based service site (OnlyFans), this content must feel both genuine and marketable. Obscured by auras of “authenticity” which in part drew them to this scattered personal public in the first place, these laborious techniques result in a number of embodied costs for the creators-turned-curators featured herein.

Does Quantum Mechanics Need Interpretation?

Year: 2009

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Since the beginning, quantum mechanics has raised major foundational and interpretative problems. Foundational research has been an important factor in the development of quantum cryptography, quantum information theory and, perhaps one day, practical quantum computers. Many believe that, in turn, quantum information theory has bearing on foundational research. This is largely related to the so-called epistemic view of quantum states, which maintains that the state vector represents information on a system and has led to the suggestion that quantum theory needs no interpretation. I will argue that this and related approaches fail to take into consideration two different explanatory functions of quantum mechanics, namely that of accounting for classically unexplainable correlations between classical phenomena and that of explaining the microscopic structure of classical objects. If interpreting quantum mechanics means answering the question, "How can the world be for quantum mechanics to be true?", there seems to be no way around it.

The relationship of change in drinking behaviour to change in other areas of behaviour in a sample of alcoholic patients.
Creators: name: Clarke, Garfield Grant
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The Alcoholism Foundation of British Columbia bases its treatment programme on the belief that the abnormal drinking behavior of an alcoholic is importantly related to his functioning in other aspects of life. The research reported here is an attempt to establish empirically whether in fact a relationship exists between change in drinking behaviour and change in other behaviour of a sample of alcoholic patients. The data were gathered as part of a project designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment programme of the Alcoholism Foundation. This project involved the interviewing of a sample of persons who had once visited the Foundation, one group of which had continued in treatment and one group of which had not continued beyond initial interviews, in order to compare the pre- and post-treatment behaviour of these two groups. It was found that there was a greater percentage of persons improved in the treatment group, and a portion of this improvement was attributed to treatment at the Foundation. It was also found that "treatment" received from Alcoholics Anonymous accounted in part for the difference seen. A number of indices of change in various areas of life (health, work, family responsibility, financial responsibility, and leisure time activities) were cross-tabulated with an index of change in drinking behaviour, and it was found that improvement in drinking behaviour tended to be associated with improvement in other areas of behaviour. Experimental and control groups were then compared to ascertain whether treatment had a discernable effect on this relationship, and it was found that treatment at the Foundation increased the likelihood of changes in drinking behaviour being accompanied by corresponding changes in other areas of behaviour. It was also shown that "treatment" received from Alcoholics Anonymous had a similar effect on the relationship.
Construction of Hilbert Transform Pairs of Wavelet Bases and Gabor-like Transforms

description: We propose a novel method for constructing Hilbert transform (HT) pairs of wavelet bases based on a fundamental approximation-theoretic characterization of scaling functions--the B-spline factorization theorem. In particular, starting from well-localized scaling functions, we construct HT pairs of biorthogonal wavelet bases of L^2(R) by relating the corresponding wavelet filters via a discrete form of the continuous HT filter. As a concrete application of this methodology, we identify HT pairs of spline wavelets of a specific flavor, which are then combined to realize a family of complex wavelets that resemble the optimally-localized Gabor function for sufficiently large orders. Analytic wavelets, derived from the complexification of HT wavelet pairs, exhibit a one-sided spectrum. Based on the tensor-product of such analytic wavelets, and, in effect, by appropriately combining four separable biorthogonal wavelet bases of L^2(R^2), we then discuss a methodology for constructing 2D directional-selective complex wavelets. In particular, analogous to the HT correspondence between the components of the 1D counterpart, we relate the real and imaginary components of these complex wavelets using a multi-dimensional extension of the HT--the directional HT. Next, we construct a family of complex spline wavelets that resemble the directional Gabor functions proposed by Daugman. Finally, we present an efficient FFT-based filterbank algorithm for implementing the associated complex wavelet transform.

Interplay: Factors affecting the music teaching self-efficacy of pre-service student teachers

description: This thesis examines the factors that affect teaching self-efficacy related to Music in preservice teacher education students. This study specifically focused on the factors that affect the initial formation of Music Teaching Self-Efficacy and changes that occurred over time. Music is one strand of the Creative Arts in which many student teachers display a low level of teaching efficacy, i.e. their belief in their ability to teach Music, even after concentrated periods of study which often carries over into their permanent teaching careers. These low perceptions of ability are of particular concern in New South Wales (Australia) where generalist teachers are required to teach Music as part of the mandated curriculum in the primary (elementary) sector of schooling. This study was a longitudinal design developed predominantly with a quantitative framework through a pre-test/post-test survey questionnaire. The survey data were supplemented with qualitative data gathered through a small number of in-depth interviews. The subjects participated in the study across the compulsory two-year methodology component of their primary (elementary) teacher education degree. The theoretical perspectives of Bandura’s (1977, 1986) construct of Self-Efficacy informed the design of this study and the data analyses. The results largely support the hypothesis that General Teaching Self-Efficacy influences Creative Arts, which, in turn, influences teaching self-efficacy for Music in a nested sequence. Paired T-tests showed that teaching self-efficacy increased over the period of the study, at each of the three levels: generally in teaching across the curriculum, specifically in teaching within the Creative Arts and specifically in music teaching. While the increases were similar for the three levels, teaching self-efficacy for Music was the lowest of the levels measured. Regression analyses revealed that for the student teachers in this study. Music Teaching Self-Efficacy depends more on perceived musical ability than on general or specific teaching self-efficacy. The importance of Musical Ability Perceptions was also seen in the analysis of change, which showed that it was the greatest single influence on change in Music Teaching Self-Efficacy. Current teaching self efficacy in the Creative Arts was also a major influence along with the amount of music teaching experience, which made a significant, although smaller contribution. The interview data results were consistent with the survey data results in that perceptions of musical ability were clearly the strongest influence on Music Teaching Self-Efficacy both initially and over time.

description: Given an assignment of weights w to the edges of a graph G, a matching M in G is called strongly w-maximal if for any matching N the sum of weights of the edges in N\M is at most the sum of weights of the edges in M\N. We prove that if w assumes only finitely many values all of which are rational then G has a strongly w-maximal matching.

description: Inspired by Axelrod's model of culture dissemination, we introduce and analyze a model for a population of coupled oscillators where different levels of synchronization can be assimilated to different degrees of cultural organization. The state of each oscillator is represented by a set of phases, and the interaction --which occurs between homologous phases-- is weighted by a decreasing function of the distance between individual states. Both ordered arrays and random networks are considered. We find that the transition between synchronization and incoherent behaviour is mediated by a clustering regime with rich organizational structure, where some of the phases of a given oscillator can be synchronized to a certain cluster, while its other phases are synchronized to different clusters.

description: We demonstrate a general technique to achieve a precise radial displacement of the nodal line of the radiofrequency (rf) field in a linear Paul trap. The technique relies on selective adjustment of the load capacitance of the trap electrodes, achieved through the addition of capacitors to the basic resonant rf-circuit used to drive the trap. Displacements of up to 100 micrometer with micrometer precision are measured using a combination of fluorescence images of ion Coulomb crystals and coherent coupling of such crystals to a mode of an optical cavity. The displacements are made without measurable distortion of the shape or structure of the Coulomb crystals, as well as without introducing excess heating commonly associated with the radial displacement of crystals by adjustment through static potentials. We expect this technique to be of importance for future developments of microtrap architectures and ion-based cavity QED.

description: In the analysis of cluster data, the regression coefficients are frequently assumed to be the same across all clusters. This hampers the ability to study the varying impacts of factors on each cluster. In this paper, a semiparametric model is introduced to account for varying impacts of factors over clusters by using cluster-level covariates. It achieves the parsimony of parametrization and allows the explorations of nonlinear interactions. The random effect in the semiparametric model also accounts for within-cluster correlation. Local, linear-based estimation procedure is proposed for estimating functional coefficients, residual variance and within-cluster correlation matrix. The asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators are established, and the method for constructing simultaneous confidence bands are proposed and studied. In addition, relevant hypothesis testing problems are addressed. Simulation studies are carried out to demonstrate the methodological power of the proposed methods in the finite sample. The proposed model and methods are used to analyse the second birth interval in Bangladesh, leading to some interesting findings.

Nonequilibrium Stationary States and Phase Transitions in Directed Ising Models

description: We study the nonequilibrium properties of directed Ising models with non conserved dynamics, in which each spin is influenced by only a subset of its nearest neighbours. We treat the following models: (i) the one-dimensional chain; (ii) the two-dimensional square lattice; (iii) the two-dimensional triangular lattice; (iv) the three-dimensional cubic lattice. We raise and answer the question: (a) Under what conditions is the stationary state described by the equilibrium Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution? We show that for models (i), (ii), and (iii), in which each spin "sees" only half of its neighbours, there is a unique set of transition rates, namely with exponential dependence in the local field, for which this is the case. For model (iv), we find that any rates satisfying the constraints required for the stationary measure to be Gibbsian should satisfy detailed balance, ruling out the possibility of directed dynamics. We finally show that directed models on lattices of coordination number $z\ge8$ with exponential rates cannot accommodate a Gibbsian stationary state. We conjecture that this property extends to any form of the rates. We are thus led to the conclusion that directed models with Gibbsian stationary states only exist in dimension one and two. We then raise the question: (b) Do directed Ising models, augmented by Glauber dynamics, exhibit a phase transition to a ferromagnetic state? For the models considered above, the answers are open problems, to the exception of the simple cases (i) and (ii). For Cayley trees, where each spin sees only the spins further from the root, we show that there is a phase transition provided the branching ratio, $q$, satisfies $q \ge 3$.

description: We begin by describing our observations of the ways in which the conduct of research has changed during the COVID-19 pandemic and go on to comment on the quality of the scientific advice that is provided to UK citizens, and especially to schools. Researchers, like many, have suffered from the effects of the pandemic. Those hardships notwithstanding, we suggest that research into COVID-19 has benefitted from a ‘seed corn’ of discovery science that has provided the basis for routine diagnostic PCR and antibody tests; for structural analyses of the way in which the SARS-CoV-2 virus interacts with cells; for the development of new treatments (and the debunking of ineffective ones); for studies of the genetics of susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2; and for the development of vaccines. The speed of dissemination of research has benefitted from the widespread use of pre-prints, and researchers and funders have become more nimble in their approaches to research and more willing to change their priorities in the face of the pandemic. In our experience, the advice provided to schools on the basis of this research was, however, often published at the last minute and was frequently flawed or inconsistent. This has led to a widening of the attainment gap between children from disadvantaged backgrounds and their peers and it has exacerbated the digital divide and holiday hunger. The consequences will be felt for many years to come and will jeopardize diversity in research and other careers.
Nuclear spin relaxation in gaseous H₂, HD and D₂
Creators: name: Hardy, Walter Newbold
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The longitudinal and transverse nuclear relaxation times, T₁ and T₂, have been measured in normal H₂ gas at 77.5°K in the pressure range 0.05 to 2 atmospheres. In this region T₁ goes through a minimum, and T₂ deviates significantly from a linear dependence on the density. Comparison of the experimental data with existing theory establishes the following results for the J=1 state of orthohydrogen: i. autocorrelation functions of the molecular angular momentum operators are exponential or nearly so, ii. the ratio of the correlation times , Ʈ₁, Ʈ₂, which are associated with operators of the form J₊, and J²₊ respectively, lies within the limits 0.6 ≤ Ʈ₁ / Ʈ₂ ≤ 1, iii. the splitting of the molecular Zeeman levels cannot be neglected as in the original Schwinger theory. T₁ for the proton and deuteron in HD gas and for the deuterons in normal D₂ gas was measured as a function of temperature and pressure in the range 20 to 373°K and 0 to 8 atmospheres. To within experimental error the dependence of T₁ on the density p is linear. In HD below 65°K, when only the J=0 and J=1 states of the molecule are appreciably populated, the temperature dependence of T₁/p is identical for both proton and deuteron, leading to a value of Ʈ₁/Ʈ₂ = 1,07/± 15% for the J=1 state of HD. Above 100°K, T₁/p for the proton is inversely proportional to the temperature, whereas for the deuteron T₁/p is almost temperature independent. The experimental results are interpreted as evidence that in HD gas the process of molecular reorientation is dominated by the anisotropic intermolecular force arising from the separation of the centres of mass and charge of the molecule. In D₂ gas two relaxation times were found, one associated with the S=1 spin state of paradeuterium and the other associated with the S=2 spin state of orthodeuterium. At 40°K (T₁/p)s=₂ appears to go through a minimum; the analogous quantity in H₂ measured by previous workers also goes through a minimum, but at 80°K. This is consistent with interpreting the minimum as a quantum mechanical diffraction effect. The J=2 component of (T₁/p)s=₂ however, does not go through a minimum, which suggests that the intermolecular interactions are significantly different for the J=1 and J=2 states of the molecule.

description: Using a simple quantum master equation approach, we calculate the full counting statistics of a single-electron transistor strongly coupled to vibrations. The full counting statistics contains both the statistics of integrated particle and energy currents associated with the transferred electrons and phonons. A universal as well as an effective fluctuation theorem are derived for the general case where the various reservoir temperatures and chemical potentials are different. The first relates to the entropy production generated in the junction, while the second reveals internal information of the system. The model recovers the Franck–Condon blockade, and potential applications to non-invasive molecular spectroscopy are discussed.
