description: In this paper, using the topological interpretation of the Baer invariant of a group $G$, $\mathcal{V}M(G)$, with respect to an arbitrary variety $\mathcal{V}$, we extend a result of Burns and Ellis (Math. Z. 226 (1997) 405-428) on the second nilpotent multiplier of a free product of two groups to the $c$-nilpotent multipliers, for all $c\geq 1$. In particular, we show that $M^{(c)}(G\ast H)\cong M^{(c)}(G)\oplus M^{(c)}(H)$ when $G$ and $H$ are finite groups with some conditions or when $G$ and $H$ are two perfect groups.

A novel application of Schlieren imaging : leakage localization in composite manufacturing vacuum bags
Creators: name: Cosco, Brett Aaron
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Schlieren imaging, a technique that allows for density variations in transparent mediums to be visualized, was brought to prominence in 1864 and is still in use today. This technique has been used to study supersonic motion in aerospace applications, as well as visualizing airflow in speech. Despite the diversity in application and reference to its use as a leak localization tool, there is no literature supporting its use in composite manufacturing vacuum bags. The purpose of this research is twofold. First, a Schlieren system is developed. Second, a novel method of leakage localization in vacuum bags premised on the use of Schlieren imaging is hypothesizes and the results of the experimentation are presented as proof of concept. An introduction to vacuum bag based composite manufacturing and the importance of leakage localization is provided. The standard methods of leakage detection and localization are discussed and analyzed. The analysis culminates in the identification of the need for a noninvasive, quick, and definitive method of leakage localization. Research around methods of detection satisfying these criteria led to the hypothesis that Schlieren imaging is capable of visualizing flow into a leakage allowing for definitive localization. An analysis of the data recorded during the experiments demonstrates the ability for Schlieren imaging to visualize flow entering a vacuum bag at a leak.

Mass spectroscopy of cold silicon and silver clusters

Cluster fragments

description: Here we investigate the mass spectroscopy of silver and silicon nanoclusters created by the laser ablation of microparticles (LAM) process. We used a supersonic beam machine equipped with a modified General Valve solenoid pulsed conical nozzle and a time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF). During adjustment measurements xenon clusters created by supersonic gas expansion in a slightly simpler setup were detected with sizes up to more than 35 atoms. The limits of this experiments seem to be the available electronics and the geometry of the time-of-flight mass spectrometer. By using an additional feedstock aerosol creating system and an ablation cell we continued the work of Nichols of investigating the LAM process. The main task therefore was the elimination of the numerous possible factors that impeded the detection of any silicon clusters and more than the cluster fragments Ag [subscript n], n = 1, 2, 3. Probably the unintentional occurrence of an impactor in the ablation cell bars small clusters from entering the vacuum chamber. Therefore, we designed a new additional vacuum chamber which makes the use of a continuous working nozzle possible

description: Computational complexity theory contains a corpus of theorems and conjectures regarding the time a Turing machine will need to solve certain types of problems as a function of the input size. Nature {\em need not} be a Turing machine and, thus, these theorems do not apply directly to it. But {\em classical simulations} of physical processes are programs running on Turing machines and, as such, are subject to them. In this work, computational complexity theory is applied to classical simulations of systems performing an adiabatic quantum computation (AQC), based on an annealed extension of the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG). We conjecture that the computational time required for those classical simulations is controlled solely by the {\em maximal entanglement} found during the process. Thus, lower bounds on the growth of entanglement with the system size can be provided. In some cases, quantum phase transitions can be predicted to take place in certain inhomogeneous systems. Concretely, physical conclusions are drawn from the assumption that the complexity classes {\bf P} and {\bf NP} differ. As a by-product, an alternative measure of entanglement is proposed which, via Chebyshev's inequality, allows to establish strict bounds on the required computational time.

Comparison of the Kentucky Nutrition Education Program Healthy Eating Index Pre- and Post- Test Data for 2012-2013
Creators: name: Shepherd, Corey Joe
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Abstract:
Nutrition education has become a topic of significant concern in today’s society. An area prominent in the interest of nutrition is the battle against food security. Programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program – Education (SNAP-Ed) is helping to improve its participants’ food security by providing nutrition education. Kentucky SNAP-Ed participants were asked to complete a survey and a 24-hour food recall to evaluate their knowledge in the following areas: Healthy Eating Index (HEI) scores, food resource management and nutrition practices. Each participant completed an average of 7-12 nutrition education lessons throughout the year. To graduate from the program participants were required to complete the same survey and food recall, applying knowledge gained from the program. Responses from 2,868 participants were analyzed to assess the impact of the SNAP-Ed program. Results demonstrated an improvement of average post-mean responses in all three areas (p-value  0.001). In conclusion, this research supports that those who participated in the 2012 – 2013 SNAP-Ed program graduated with an overall positive change in nutrition behavior, promoting enhanced food security in low-income families.

Chasing in online gambling and its practical application in gambling intervention
Creators: name: Zhang, Ke
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: 'Chasing' refers to a tendency to increase betting in an effort to recoup prior losses (i.e., 'loss chasing') or to satisfy an increased gambling desire following wins (i.e., 'win chasing'). Chasing characterizes the transition from recreational to problem gambling, but few studies have examined this behaviour systematically. Using online gambling data, I sought a holistic understanding of chasing by capturing between- and within-session chasing behaviour. Further, I evaluated a behavioural intervention to reduce loss chasing. Chapters 2, 3, and 4 examined between- and within-session chasing using naturalistic data from a gambling website (PlayNow.com in British Columbia, Canada). For between-session chasing, average gamblers returned more slowly after a losing session and returned more quickly after a winning session. Within-session chasing depends on game type, chasing measurement (bet amount vs. quit probability), and outcome timeframe (immediate vs. cumulative outcomes). Across most games, loss chasing depended more on timeframe but not measurement, whereas win chasing depended more on measurement. After losing more on the last bet, gamblers staked larger amounts over a longer session, but when cumulative losses mounted, gamblers staked smaller amounts over a shorter session. After winning more, gamblers bet more over a shorter session. Chapter 4 used enrolment in the Voluntary Self-Exclusion (VSE) program as a proxy for likely gambling problems. While conventional assessments of gambling problems focus on between-session loss chasing, it did not differentiate VSE gamblers from Non-VSE gamblers. Instead, these groups differed in their within-session loss chasing tendencies. Therefore, future research aiming to identify high-risk gambling patterns should also consider within-session behavioural markers. Chapter 5 recruited gamblers from the survey platform, Prolific, and examined the effectiveness of a novel ‘cashing out’ procedure in alleviating loss chasing. In non-problem gamblers, the cashing out manipulation significantly lowered the amount wagered, aligned with the realization effect. There was no interaction between the cashing-out condition and the gambling group, although the cashing-out procedure was not statistically significant in the at-risk or problem gambling groups. These findings provide future directions for identifying gambling problems based on behavioural tracking data, and present proof of concept data for a new digital harm reduction tool.

description: We study matrix models in the beta ensemble by building on the refined recursion relation proposed by Chekhov and Eynard. We present explicit results for the first beta-deformed corrections in the one-cut and the two-cut cases, as well as two applications to supersymmetric gauge theories: the calculation of superpotentials in N=1 gauge theories, and the calculation of vevs of surface operators in superconformal N=2 theories and their Liouville duals. Finally, we study the beta deformation of the Chern-Simons matrix model. Our results indicate that this model does not provide an appropriate description of the Omega-deformed topological string on the resolved conifold, and therefore that the beta-deformation might provide a different generalization of topological string theory in toric Calabi-Yau backgrounds.

description: The Weil representation of the symplectic group associated to a finite abelian group of odd order is shown to have a multiplicity-free decomposition. When the abelian group is p-primary, the irreducible representations occurring in the Weil representation are parametrized by a partially ordered set which is independent of p. As p varies, the dimension of the irreducible representation corresponding to each parameter is shown to be a polynomial in p which is calculated explicitly. The commuting algebra of the Weil representation has a basis indexed by another partially ordered set which is independent of p. The expansions of the projection operators onto the irreducible invariant subspaces in terms of this basis are calculated. The coefficients are again polynomials in p. These results remain valid in the more general setting of finitely generated torsion modules over a Dedekind domain.

Microbial fuel cells : a comparative analysis of operational factors, response metrics, and degradation response to fruit waste degradation
Creators: name: Zafar, Hirra
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Food waste generation is increasing due to a rise in the global population and their ever-increasing demands. If not appropriately treated, food waste can harm human health and the environment in many ways. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are bioelectrochemical systems with a great potential to oxidize organic matter present in food waste with simultaneous electricity generation. Previous MFC research has focused on treating simple wastewaters and improving power output. A limited amount of work has been done using solid feedstocks, with generally low reported performance. The goal of the present study was to solve challenges when treating solid fruit waste in MFCs using soft techniques such as meta-analysis and experimentally using lab-scale MFC prototypes. A systematic review (meta-analysis) of MFC studies highlighted the critical associations between MFC influence factors and response metrics. Results indicated that dual-chamber MFCs achieved 18% higher chemical oxygen demand removal and 73% higher coulombic efficiencies than single-chamber MFCs. A comparative analysis of the MFC design and operating phase was carried out on a lab scale by developing a two-stage anaerobic up-flow leachate reactor MFC (AULRMFC) and a single-stage MFC (SSMFC). The findings revealed that an AULRMFC with substrate recirculation successfully achieved 95% higher total solids removal in 30 days compared to SSMFC. The fruit waste degradation in MFC was also evaluated employing bioaugmentation with carbohydrate-degrading strains Bacillus subtilis and Cellulomonas fimi. The results demonstrated that adding Cellulomonas fimi alone resulted in the highest cellulose removal of 2,759 mg/L cellulose in two days. The addition of both Cellulomonas fimi and Bacillus subtilis achieved the highest total solids removal and total volatile solids removal of 82% and 84%, respectively. A seasonality study was conducted to analyze the influence of feedstock change on MFC efficiency. A 91% and 119% decline in COD removal efficiency and power density, respectively, was noticed when the feedstock was changed to cherry slurry. The decrease in power density and COD removal efficiency was attributed to the high internal resistance posed by cherry pits. The outcome of the present study revealed new information about MFCs that provides a clear pathway for future research in this field.

description: The Mouse Models of Human Cancer Database (MMHCdb; http://tumor.informatics.jax.org [formerly known as the Mouse Tumor Biology (MTB) database]) provides users with online access to data regarding mouse models of human cancer, encompassing genetically engineered mouse models, inbred strain models, and Patient Derived Xenograft (PDX) models. Information in MMHCdb is obtained from curation of peer-reviewed scientific publications and from direct data submissions from individual investigators and large-scale programs. Enforcement of standard gene and strain nomenclature and use of controlled vocabularies within MMHCdb enables complete and accurate searching of the published literature for relevant mouse models.

MMHCdb was established in 1997 and, over the years, has undergone several revisions of both its database structure and web interface. We recently undertook a comprehensive web redesign to provide better visualization tools and simplify the presentation of search results focusing on reducing textual redundancy. Reorganized displays for tumor frequency and strain cohort results now provide the user with cleaner, more informative layouts. Users now also have the option to send their found data set to the faceted browser for further data exploration. Addition of a tumor spectrum summary for each strain cohort enhances the utility of the search results page. Granular details for each tumor frequency and strain cohort record are still available by clicking through to the detail pages. The Quick Search functionality, shown at the top of each web page, was simplified and now allows users to query by tumor, strain cohort, genetic, or reference information in one simple field.

MMHCdb is supported by NCI grant CA089713.
A semiflexible polymer chain under geometrical restrictions: Only bulk behaviour and no surface adsorption

Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We analyse the conformational behaviour of a linear semiflexible homo-polymer chain confined by two geometrical constraints under a good solvent condition in two dimensions. The constraints are stair shaped impenetrable surfaces. The impenetrable surfaces are lines in a two dimensional space. The infinitely long polymer chain is confined in between such two (A and B) surfaces. A lattice model of a fully directed self-avoiding walk is used to calculate the exact expression of the partition function, when the chain has attractive interaction with one or both the constraints. It has been found that under the proposed model, the chain shows only a bulk behaviour. In other words, there is no possibility of adsorption of the chain due to restrictions imposed on the walks of the chain.

description: Teleosts are the largest class of bony fishes and account for more than 90% of fish species. Their reproductive systems are the key feature to adopt gradual evolutionary change under aquatic environmental conditions. Aquatic ecosystems are faced with a serious threat to their proliferation due to the discharge of untreated industrial effluents into them. Here, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to examine the damaged ovaries of the freshwater fish Rohu, Labeo rohita (Hamilton-Buchanan), due to their exposure to different heavy metals in the polluted waters of Harike Wetland in Punjab, India. Deformed oocytes with rough and distorted surfaces were observed in SEM. Microscopic analysis showed that environmental pollution caused by municipal effluents had damaged the microstructural surface on the fish ovaries. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy also showed damage of the microstructural surface and an abnormal deposition of heavy metals. The alterations in the reproductive system of the fish appeared to be the most responsive and a reliable indicator of environmental pollution, which indicates their significance in aquatic biomonitoring systems. This is the first report in North India showing tissue level markers in biomonitoring programs using the ovary of Labeo rohita as the model system. Microscopic analysis showed that environmental pollution caused by municipal effluents damaged the microstructural surface of the fish ovaries.

description: In this paper we prove three conjectures on congruences involving central binomial coefficients or Lucas sequences. Let $p$ be an odd prime and let $a$ be a positive integer. We show that if $p\equiv 1\pmod{4}$ or $a>1$ then $$ \sum_{k=0}^{\lfloor\frac34p^a\rfloor}\binom{-1/2}k\equiv\left(\frac{2}{p^a}\right)\pmod{p^2}, $$ where $(-)$ denotes the Jacobi symbol. This confirms a conjecture of the second author. We also confirm a conjecture of R. Tauraso by showing that $$\sum_{k=1}^{p-1}\frac{L_k}{k^2}\equiv0\pmod{p}\quad {\rm provided}\ \ p>5,$$ where the Lucas numbers $L_0,L_1,L_2,\ldots$ are defined by $L_0=2,\ L_1=1$ and $L_{n+1}=L_n+L_{n-1}\ (n=1,2,3,\ldots)$. Our third theorem states that if $p\not=5$ then we can determine $F_{p^a-(\frac{p^a}5)}$ mod $p^3$ in the following way: $$\sum_{k=0}^{p^a-1}(-1)^k\binom{2k}k\equiv\left(\frac{p^a}5\right)\left(1-2F_{p^a-(\frac{p^a}5)}\right)\ \pmod{p^3},$$ which appeared as a conjecture in a paper of Sun and Tauraso in 2010.

description: Financial contracts with options that allow the holder to extend the contract maturity by paying an additional fixed amount found many applications in finance. Closed-form solutions for the price of these options have appeared in the literature for the case when the contract underlying asset follows a geometric Brownian motion with the constant interest rate, volatility, and non-negative "dividend" yield. In this paper, the option price is derived for the case of the underlying asset that follows a geometric Brownian motion with the time-dependent drift and volatility which is important to use the solutions in real life applications. The formulas are derived for the drift that may include non-negative or negative "dividend" yield. The latter case results in a new solution type that has not been studied in the literature. Several typographical errors in the formula for the holder-extendible put, typically repeated in textbooks and software, are corrected.

Based on the PENLEG dataset (Pension Legislation around the World, 1880–2010), this article answers the question whether the political regime type has affected the choice of a specific pension design when implementing old-age pensions for the first time. The global study shows that nondemocratic regimes were more likely to implement social insurance designs, as these pension designs are best suited to bind citizens to the state and to target benefits on groups that are essential for regime survival. In contrast, the study can only find weak evidence that electoral autocracies were less likely to implement social insurance designs than closed autocracies. Moreover, colonial legacies mattered strongly. Especially former French colonies were more likely to implement social insurance designs.

description: We present APEX (Atacama Pathfinder Experiment)-LABOCA (Large Apex Bolometer Camera) 870-μm observations of the fields surrounding the nine brightest, high-redshift, unlensed objects discovered in the South Pole Telescope’s 2500 square deg² survey. Initially seen as point sources by SPT’s 1-arcmin beam, the 19-arcsec resolution of our new data enables us to deblend these objects and search for submillimetre sources in the surrounding fields. We found 98 sources above a threshold of 3.7σ in the observed area of 1300 arcmin², where the bright central cores resolve into multiple components. After applying a radial cut to our LABOCA sources to achieve uniform sensitivity and angular size across each of the nine fields, we compute the cumulative and differential number counts and compare them to estimates of the background, finding a significant overdensity of δ ≈ 10 at S870 = 14 mJy. The large overdensities of bright submm sources surrounding these fields suggest that they could be candidate protoclusters undergoing massive star-formation events. Photometric and spectroscopic redshifts of the unlensed central objects range from z=3 to 7, implying a volume density of star-forming protoclusters of approximately 0.1Gpc⁻³. If the surrounding submm sources in these fields are at the same redshifts as the central objects, then the total star-formation rates of these candidate protoclusters reach 10,000 M⊙yr⁻¹, making them much more active at these redshifts than seen so far in either simulations or observations.

description: Stryphnodendron adstringens is a typical tree from Brazilian Savanah used in medicine as an anti-inflammatory and antiseptic agent. It is secondary metabolites has biological activities, so the development of efficient extraction methods is essential. Microwave irradiation through assisted extraction is innovative and highly efficient for bioactive compounds. The aim of this study was to optimize an extractive method for phenolics compounds, as tannins, from the stem bark of “barbatimão” by microwave irradiation using a statistical planning and to evaluate its consistency with conventional extraction. Microwave irradiation extraction, 16.36–22.12% of phenols and 15.91–18.69% of tannins, has a better yield when compared to conventional extraction, 14.99% of phenols and 16.70% of tannins. The method by microwave irradiation is consistent with the conventional one. However, extraction by microwave irradiation had a reduction in reaction time, reagent volume, samples amount and energy consumption when compared to conventional extraction.

description: Medialisierung gilt als eine zentrale Entwicklung aktueller gesellschaftlicher Modernisierungsprozesse – sie ist ein gesamtgesellschaftliches Phänomen. In der Soziologie spricht man daher schon lange von einer Mediengesellschaft als einer den Einfluss der Medien konstitutiv mitberücksichtigenden gesellschaftstheoretischen Basistheorie. Die Herausbildung der persönlichen, individuellen Identität eines Menschen findet in einer solchen Gesellschaft zu einem großen Teil medieninduziert statt.

Die Studie analysiert die wesentlichen Merkmale einer Mediengesellschaft als der hier verwendeten Rahmentheorie. In einem weiteren Schritt wird die Kategorie der Identität mit dem Prinzip der Personalität als Grundprinzip Christlicher Sozialethik verbunden. Hierauf aufbauend wird danach gefragt, wie sich Identitätsbildung unter den sozialen, strukturellen und institutionellen Bedingungen einer Mediengesellschaft vollzieht.

description: Novel derivatives of 4-oxo-3-methylcytisine with phenyl moiety bonded to starting molecule through various spacers were obtained from the 9-amino, -halo, -formyl and 11-halo precursors by reductive alkylation of amines, generation of amide, as well as thio- and carboxamide functions, cross-coupling reactions, aldehyde condensation and reduction of unsaturated ‘C-C’ bonds. Ability of synthesized compounds to influence the learning and memory was preliminary assessed in conditioned passive avoidance reflex (CPAR) test in rats. It was shown, that derivatives with phenyl group at 11 carbon atom influence the learning and memory in CPAR test more effectively than other compounds. The hit-compound (3-methyl-11-(2-phenylvinyl)-3,5,6-trihydro-2H-1,5-methanopyrido[1,2-a][1,5]diazocine-4,8(1H)-dione) with the best values of ‘latency’ and ‘time spent in the dark compartment’ has been identified as a perspective scaffold for synthesis of novel derivatives of (-)-cytisine with potential neuropharmacological activity.

description: The string-net approach by Levin and Wen, and the local unitary transformation approach by Chen, Gu, and Wen, provide ways to classify topological orders with gappable edge in 2D bosonic systems. The two approaches reveal that the mathematical framework for 2+1D bosonic topological order with gappable edge is closely related to unitary fusion category theory. In this paper, we generalize these systematic descriptions of topological orders to 2D fermion systems. We find a classification of 2+1D fermionic topological orders with gappable edge in terms of the following set of data $(N^{ij}_k, F^{ij}_k, F^{ijm,αβ}_{jkn,χδ},d_i)$, that satisfy a set of non-linear algebraic equations. The exactly soluble Hamiltonians can be constructed from the above data on any lattices to realize the corresponding topological orders. When $F^{ij}_k=0$, our result recovers the previous classification of 2+1D bosonic topological orders with gappable edge.

Potential chemical inhibitors of inflammasomes modulate microglial and astrocytic functions

description: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the sixth leading cause of death worldwide and is characterized by chronic neuroinflammation. Microglia are the brain immunocytes, which normally support and protect neurons; however, they can become adversely activated contributing to onset and progression of neuroinflammation. In addition, defective phagocytic activity of microglia has been suggested to contribute to AD pathogenesis. Astrocytes maintain brain homeostasis but can also become adversely activated leading to the production of excessive pro-inflammatory cytokines and alteration of astrocytic phagocytic activity. Nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich repeat and pyrin domain-containing receptor (NLRP) 3 inflammasomes are intracellular protein complexes responsible for the activation and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines by immune cells, including microglia and astrocytes. The inflammasome inhibitors, MCC950, shikonin, and oridonin, have previously been shown to suppress inflammasome activation through several different mechanisms and reduce inflammatory activity of peripheral immune cells; however, the full spectrum of the effects of these drugs on the brain cells is still unknown. I hypothesized that MCC950, shikonin, and oridonin regulate a broad range of immune responses by microglia and astrocytes. Therefore, I studied the effects of these inflammasome inhibitors on murine and human microglia-like cells and human astrocytic cell lines that were challenged with established immune stimulants to induce pro-inflammatory responses. MCC950, shikonin, and oridonin decreased the secretion of nitric oxide and glutamate by murine microglia-like cells; however, none of the inflammasome inhibitors had a significant effect on their secretion of interleukin (IL)-1β or tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF). In human microglia-like cells, MCC950 significantly reduced the secretion of IL-1β, but not TNF, while shikonin and oridonin did not influence the secretion of either of these cytokines. Shikonin and oridonin reduced overall toxicity of microglia towards neuronal cells. In human astrocyte-like cells, MCC950, shikonin, and oridonin significantly reduced the secretion of IL-1β. Shikonin also significantly reduced the overall toxicity of astrocytes towards neuronal cells. Phagocytic activity of both resting and immune-stimulated microglia and astrocytes was upregulated by the inflammasome inhibitors, further supporting their potential neuroprotective effects. These results indicate that MCC950, shikonin, and oridonin should be investigated further as possible therapeutic agents for targeting neuroinflammation in AD.

description: Bordered Heegaard Floer homology is an invariant for three-manifolds with boundary. In particular, this invariant associates to a handle decomposition of a surface F a differential graded algebra, and to an arc slide between two handle decompositions, a bimodule over the two algebras. In this paper, we describe these bimodules for arc slides explicitly, and then use them to give a combinatorial description of HF^ of a closed three-manifold, as well as the bordered Floer homology of any 3-manifold with boundary.
