description: Evaluation of pfaffians arises in a number of physics applications, and for some of them a direct method is preferable to using the determinantal formula. We discuss two methods for the numerical evaluation of pfaffians. The first is tridiagonalization based on Householder transformations. The main advantage of this method is its numerical stability that makes unnecessary the implementation of a pivoting strategy. The second method considered is based on Aitken's block diagonalization formula. It yields to a kind of LU (similar to Cholesky's factorization) decomposition (under congruence) of arbitrary skew-symmetric matrices that is well suited both for the numeric and symbolic evaluations of the pfaffian. Fortran subroutines (FORTRAN 77 and 90) implementing both methods are given. We also provide simple implementations in Python and Mathematica for purpose of testing, or for exploratory studies of methods that make use of pfaffians.

Vaccination models in infectious diseases
Creators: name: Bai, Fan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Vaccination is the most effective method of preventing the spread of infectious diseases. In this thesis, we develop and apply mathematical models to study vaccination. The thesis consists of three main parts. Firstly, in deciding whether to be vaccinated before the outbreak of the epidemic, people need to consider the risk from vaccination and the probability of being infected. The decision of one individual is indirectly influenced by the decisions of all other individuals. Because the vaccine coverage levels are determined by all decisions of all individuals. We apply game theory to this scenario, to predict the expected vaccine coverage level. We construct and analyze four vaccination games. The novelty of this part of work is we introducing the replicator equations to describe the evolutionary processes. For all games, we are able to predict the vaccine coverage levels accurately. Secondly, In order to prove the uniqueness of Nash equilibrium in games, it is crucial to prove the attack ratios are decreasing functions of the vaccine coverage levels. We are able to obtain complete results for the cases of homogeneous mixing population. Only partial results are obtained for the case of heterogeneous mixing population. Thirdly, some insights into the dynamics of malaria infection are obtained. We propose two new malaria models. For delayed malaria transmission models, we calculate the basic reproduction number ℛ₀, the disease-free equilibrium and the possible endemic equilibrium. We also analyze the stabilities of the equilibria. For malaria vaccination model, we calculate the control reproduction number ℛc and the disease-free equilibrium. The threshold of eradication is discussed. We find that, under certain circumstances, the disease of malaria can be eradicated.

description: When the environmental disturbace to a quantum system has a wavelength much larger than the system size, all qubits localized within a small area are under action of the same error operators. Noiseless subsystem and decoherence free subspace are known to correct such collective errors. We construct simple quantum circuits, which implement these collective error correction codes, for a small number $n$ of physical qubits. A single logical qubit is encoded with $n=3$ and $n=4$, while two logical qubits are encoded with $n=5$. The recursive relations among the subspaces employed in noiseless subsystem and decoherence free subspace play essential rôles in our implementation. The recursive relations also show that the number of gates required to encode $m$ logical qubits increases linearly in $m$.

description: We report on a non-interacting technique for thermal characterization of fluids based on surface plasmon resonance interrogation. Using liquid volumes less than 20 micro liters we have determined the materials' thermo-optic coefficients with an accuracy of better than 10^{-5} 1/°C and demonstrated temperature sensing with an accuracy of 0.03 °C. The apparatus employs a low-power probe laser, requiring only a single wavelength, polarization and interrogation angle for accurate characterization. The device is particularly suited for precise diagnostics of liquids and gases within microfluidic systems, and may also be readily integrated into a variety of lab-on-chip platforms, providing rapid and accurate temperature diagnostics.

description: We present initial results from time series imaging at infrared wavelengths of 0.9 sq. degrees in the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC). During Fall 2009 we obtained 81 epochs of Spitzer 3.6 and 4.5 micron data over 40 consecutive days. We extracted light curves with ~3% photometric accuracy for ~2000 ONC members ranging from several solar masses down to well below the hydrogen burning mass limit. For many of the stars, we also have time-series photometry obtained at optical (Ic) and/or near-infrared (JKs) wavelengths. Our data set can be mined to determine stellar rotation periods, identify new pre-main-sequence (PMS) eclipsing binaries, search for new substellar Orion members, and help better determine the frequency of circumstellar disks as a function of stellar mass in the ONC. Our primary focus is the unique ability of 3.6 & 4.5 micron variability information to improve our understanding of inner disk processes and structure in the Class I and II young stellar objects (YSOs). In this paper, we provide a brief overview of the YSOVAR Orion data obtained in Fall 2009, and we highlight our light curves for AA-Tau analogs - YSOs with narrow dips in flux, most probably due to disk density structures passing through our line of sight. Detailed follow-up observations are needed in order to better quantify the nature of the obscuring bodies and what this implies for the structure of the inner disks of YSOs.

description: In this work we continue the description of soliton-like solutions of some slowly varying, subcritical gKdV equations. In this opportunity we describe, almost completely, the allowed behaviors: either the soliton is refracted, or it is reflected by the potential, depending on its initial energy. This last result describes a new type of soliton-like solution for gKdV equations, also present in the NLS case. Moreover, we prove that the solution is not pure at infinity, unlike the standard gKdV soliton.

title: Investigating the effects of novel AKT inhibitors on the insulin/IGF-1 like signalling pathway in C. elegans
Creators: name: Doyle, Kevin
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2016

description: Caenorhabditis elegans, a free-living nematode, has developed into an exciting model for the study of ageing. It has a lifespan of around three weeks and a number of evolutionarily conserved pathways that can be manipulated to extend its lifespan and healthspan. The best characterised of these pathways is the insulin/IGF-1 signalling pathway (IIS) with the FoxO transcription factor DAF-16 acting as the main target of the pathway. Inhibition of IIS results in the translocation of DAF-16 into the nucleus, allowing it to activate a host of target genes causing lifespan-extension and stress resistance to a wide range of different factors. The aim of this study was to pharmacologically inhibit the IIS pathway using the ATP-competitive AKT inhibitors AZD5363 and AT14148, the allosteric AKT inhibitor MK-2206, the IGF1R inhibitor OSI-906 and the ROCK inhibitor GSK-269962. A C. elegans transgene strain possessing a DAF-16::GFP reporter in order to monitor localisation of DAF-16::GFP under a fluorescent microscope. Worms were treated with the compounds and scored for the nuclear localisation of DAF-16. A bus-8 strain of C. elegans with increased sensitivity to drugs was also used in the investigation. Preliminary findings suggest that MK-2206, AT1148 and GSK-269962 could be having an effect on DAF-16 nuclear localisation. Further studies are needed in order to clarify whether this nuclear localisation is due to inhibition of the IIS pathway or whether it is part of a stress response to high concentrations of the drug.

description: We observe that the fully nonlinear evolution equations of Rosenau and Hymann, often abbreviated as $K(n,\,m)$ equations, can be reduced to Hamiltonian form only on a zero-energy hypersurface belonging to some potential function associated with the equations. We treat the resulting Hamiltonian equations by the dynamical systems theory and present a phase-space analysis of their stable points. The results of our study demonstrate that the equations can, in general, support both compacton and soliton solutions. For the $K(2,\,2)$ and $K(3,\,3)$ cases one type of solutions can be obtained from the other by continuously varying a parameter of the equations. This is not true for the $K(3,\,2)$ equation for which the parameter can take only negative values. The $K(2,\,3)$ equation does not have any stable point and, in the language of mechanics, represents a particle moving with constant acceleration.

HIV/STI stigma, gender, and young people
Creators: name: Karamouzian, Mohammad
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Background: In the context of HIV/STI, there is a large and growing body of literature assessing stigma. However, most studies have concentrated on adult populations, leaving several aspects of HIV/STI-related stigma amongst young people open to question. The current thesis examines the issue of HIV/STI-related stigma on young people’s sexual health. Methods: To examine the potential influence of stigma on STI testing amongst marginalized youth, data from the At-Risk Youth Study (ARYS) was used to examine the influence of stigma on STI testing uptake amongst 300 street-involved young people. To explore young people’s perceptions about the capacity for stigma to be mitigated using online testing approaches, individual, semi-structured interviews were completed with 71 young people and analyzed thematically. Moreover, to characterize the state of the literature regarding HIV-related stigma amongst youth living with HIV (YLHIV), a systematic search of the literature was used to identify 22 studies measuring HIV-related stigma among YLHIV; each study was evaluated to assess how sex or gender considerations were taken into account. Results: Perceived devaluation, was independently associated with decreased STI testing uptake among street-involved youth. Moreover, the qualitative analysis pointed to the potential benefits of online HIV/STI testing for reducing the external stigma, despite the complexities around addressing internalized notions of HIV/STI-related stigma among youth as well as the gendered experiences of HIV/STI-related stigma in online testing environments. Among the 22 papers included in the systematic review, several gaps were identified in the existing literature of HIV-related stigma including the missing accounts of sex or gender on HIV-related stigma among YLHIV. Conclusions: Taken together, the findings of the current thesis suggest that HIV/STI-related stigma affect youth’s sexual health care seeking practices in both online and clinic-based settings – and that experiences may differ by gender. To combat HIV/STI-related stigma and its effects, it will be necessary to address underlying individual- and structural-level factors, including gender stereotypes. However, the current literature does not appear to fully account for youth’s gendered experiences, leaving many interventions to promote youth sexual health insufficiently informed and offering space for new research to address an important theoretical and practice gap.

description: We present a novel technique for the manipulation of the energy spectrum of hard-wall InAs/InP nanowire quantum dots. By using two local gate electrodes, we induce a strong electric dipole moment on the dot and demonstrate the controlled modification of its electronic orbitals. Our approach allows us to dramatically enhance the single-particle energy spacing between the first two quantum levels in the dot and thus to increment the working temperature of our InAs/InP single-electron transistors. Our devices display a very robust modulation of the conductance even at liquid nitrogen temperature, while allowing an ultimate control of the electron filling down to the last free carrier. Potential further applications of the technique to time-resolved spin manipulation are also discussed.

description: We use the high spatial sensitivity of the anomalous Hall effect in the ferromagnetic semiconductor Ga1-xMnxAs, combined with the magneto-optical Kerr effect, to probe the nanoscale elastic flexing behavior of a single magnetic domain wall in a ferromagnetic thin film. Our technique allows position sensitive characterization of the pinning site density, which we estimate to be around 10^14 cm^{-3}. Analysis of single site depinning events and their temperature dependence yields estimates of pinning site forces (10 pN range) as well as the thermal deactivation energy. Finally, our data hints at a much higher intrinsic domain wall mobility for flexing than previously observed in optically-probed micron scale measurements.

description: We present results of a ^{12}CO J = 3-2 survey of 125 nearby galaxies obtained with the 10-m Heinrich-Hertz-Telescope, with the aim to characterize the properties of warm and dense molecular gas in a large variety of environments. With an angular resolution of 22'', ^{12}CO 3-2 emission was detected in 114 targets. Based on 61 galaxies observed with equal beam sizes the ^{12}CO 3-2/1-0 integrated line intensity ratio R_{31} is found to vary from 0.2 to 1.9, with an average value of 0.81. No correlations are found for R_{31} to Hubble type and far infrared luminosity. Possible indications for a correlation with inclination angle and the 60mum/100mum color temperature of the dust are not significant. Higher R_{31} ratios than in ``normal'' galaxies, hinting at enhanced molecular excitation, may be found in galaxies hosting active galactic nuclei. Even higher average values are determined for galaxies with bars or starbursts, the latter being identified by the ratio of infrared luminosity versus isophotal area, log[(L_{FIR}/L_{SUN})/(D_{25}/kpc)^2)] > 7.25. (U)LIRGs are found to have the highest averaged R_{31} value. This may be a consequence of particularly vigorous star formation activity, triggered by galaxy interaction and merger events. The nuclear CO luminosities are slightly sublinearly correlated with the global FIR luminosity in both the ^{12}CO J = 3-2 and the 1-0 lines. The slope of the log-log plots rises with compactness of the respective galaxy subsample, indicating a higher average density and a larger fraction of thermalized gas in distant luminous galaxies. While linear or sublinear correlations for the ^{12}CO J = 3-2 line can be explained, if the bulk of the observed J = 3-2 emission originates from molecular gas with densities below the critical one, the case of the ^{12}CO J = 1-0 line with its small critical density remains a puzzle.

description: The propagation of waves in soft dielectric elastomer layers is investigated. To this end incremental motions superimposed on homogeneous finite deformations induced by bias electric fields and pre-stretch are determined. First we examine the case of mechanically traction-free layer, which is an extension of the Rayleigh-Lamb problem in the purely elastic case. Two other loading configurations are accounted for too. Subsequently, numerical examples for the dispersion relations are evaluated for a dielectric solid governed by an augmented neo-Hookean strain energy. It is found that the the phase speeds and frequencies strongly depend on the electric excitation and pre-stretch. These findings lend themselves at the possibility of controlling the propagation velocity as well as filtering particular frequencies with suitable choices of the electric bias field.

description: It is sometimes believed that small quantum gravity corrections to the Hawking radiation process can encode the correlations required to solve the black hole information paradox. Recently an inequality on the entanglement entropy of radiation was derived, which showed that such is not the case; one needs {\it order unity} corrections to low energy modes at the horizon to resolve the problem. In this paper we illustrate this inequality by a simple model where the state of the created Hawking pair at each stage is slightly modified by the state of the previous pair. The model can be mapped onto the 1-dimensional Ising chain and solved explicitly. In agreement with the general inequality we find that very little of the entanglement is removed by the encoded correlations. We then use the general inequality to argue that the black hole puzzles split into two problems: the `information paradox' and the `infall problem'. The former addresses the detailed state of low energy modes at the horizon and asks if these can be modified by order unity, while the latter asks for a coarse grained effective description of the infall of heavy observers into the degrees of freedom of the hole.

Self-directed tablet-based naming therapy in chronic aphasia
Creators: name: Rowe, Jacob
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Background: The recent interest in the use of mobile devices (like iPads and their application programs; apps) in aphasia therapy has been motivated in part by a belief that they could facilitate self-directed home practice with minimal therapist supervision. Such practice in turn could allow people with aphasia to receive more therapy, without taxing current clinical resources even further. However, it is unknown whether mobile technology can feasibly facilitate self-directed practice. Furthermore, it is unclear whether this kind of therapy can improve outcomes, and there are doubts about the quality of the therapy process when therapy is provided without the expertise of a therapist. Aims: This study aimed to explore the feasibility, therapeutic effect, and therapy process of a naming therapy using an iPad-based therapy app for minimally-supervised self-directed home practice in chronic post-stroke aphasia. Method: A single-subject experiment using a multiple baseline design was replicated across three participants with chronic aphasia, who independently used an iPad-based therapy app to practice naming pictures with the support of cues. Outcome measures included extensive usage and accuracy data unobtrusively collected using the app’s internal logging system, pre- and post-therapy language measures, and qualitative semi-structured interviews to explore participants’ experiences of therapy and perceptions of therapy effects. Results: Therapy was found to be accessible and acceptable for participants with aphasia; however, problems were identified with the therapist’s administrative role in developing and managing word sets, and monitoring therapy progress. Participants demonstrated medium to large naming accuracy gains for practiced words, but minimal gains for unpracticed words. Enabling participants to direct their own therapy process led them to spontaneously enact therapy in ways generally similar to how a therapist might. Conclusion: Despite limitations, self-directed practice using mobile technology may have the potential to improve outcomes by making ongoing long-term gains feasible, and to foster greater collaboration and shared expertise between therapists and people with aphasia. Findings were discussed in terms of suggestions for future research and therapy app development that could allow mobile technology to deliver on this potential.

We give results concerning the number of points on the elliptic curve y^2{\equiv}x^3+a^3(mod p)where p is a prime congruent to 1 modulo 6. Also some results are given on the sum of abscissae of these points. We give the number of solutions to y^2{\equiv}x^3+a^3(modp), also given in ([1], p.174), this time by means of the quadratic residue character, in a different way, by using the cubic residue character. Using the Weil conjecture, one can generalize the results concerning the number of points in F_{p} to F_{p^{r}}.

description: We present preliminary results of the first near-infrared variability study of the Arches cluster, using adaptive optics data from NIRI/Gemini and NACO/VLT. The goal is to discover eclipsing binaries in this young (2.5 +- 0.5 Myr), dense, massive cluster for which we will determine accurate fundamental parameters with subsequent spectroscopy. Given that the Arches cluster contains more than 200 Wolf-Rayet and O-type stars, it provides a rare opportunity to determine parameters for some of the most massive stars in the Galaxy.

description: 1926 bis 1928 wurde unterhalb der Burgruine Giebichenstein eine neue Brücke errichtet. An den Enden des Hauptbogens sind in dem Zusammenhang die beiden Skulpturen Kuh und Pferd durch den Bildhauer Gerhard Marcks geschaffen worden, die Gegenstand des Projektes sind.
Die genaue Herstellungsweise der Betonskulpturen ist nicht bekannt. Gewiss ist nur, dass es sich um gestampfte Vollkörper aus Portlandzement als Bindemittel und mit einem Zuschlaggemisch aus Quarzsand, Porphyrsplitt (Petersberger Porphyr) und Mansfelder Kupferschlacke in unterschiedlichen Kornfraktionen handelt. Die Oberfläche ist steinmetzmäßig überarbeitet.

Erste Schäden wurden bereits kurz nach der Fertigstellung in Form eines Risskrakelees auf der Oberfläche der Figuren festgestellt. Im Laufe der Jahrzehnte haben sich die Risse auf z.T. mehrere Millimeter geweitet und vertieft. In den unterschnittenen Bereichen der Skulpturen tritt kontinuierlich Kalksinter aus den Rissen aus. Voruntersuchungen haben ergeben, dass mehrere sich überlagernde Schadensprozesse vorliegen. Neben herkömmlichen physikalischen Verwitterungsprozessen, wie beispielsweise die Frostverwitterung, konnte als eine wesentliche Schadensursache an den Figuren eine Alkali-Kieselsäure-Reaktion (AKR) nachgewiesen werden.
Als weiterer Schadensprozess wurde eine sekundäre Ettringitbildung (SEB) nachgewiesen. Die kontinuierliche Beobachtung der Schäden an den Figuren zeigt eine progressive Tendenz. Der hauptsächliche Antrieb des Schadens liegt in der Feuchtebeaufschlagung der Skulpturen infolge ungehinderten Eintrags von Niederschlagswasser in das Betongefüge, die zum Quellen und Schwinden der AKR-Gele und damit zu einem kontinuierlichen Schadensfortschritt führen.
Hauptziel zu erfolgender Maßnahmen ist die maximale Einschränkung der Wasseraufnahme in die Betonkörper, um die Schadensprozesse zu verlangsamen bzw. einzuschränken.

description: The purpose of the present paper is to establish moderate deviation principles for a rather general class of random variables fulfilling certain bounds of the cumulants. We apply a celebrated lemma of the theory of large deviations probabilities due to Rudzkis, Saulis and Statulevicius. The examples of random objects we treat include dependency graphs, subgraph-counting statistics in Erdős-Rényi random graphs and $U$-statistics. Moreover, we prove moderate deviation principles for certain statistics appearing in random matrix theory, namely characteristic polynomials of random unitary matrices as well as the number of particles in a growing box of random determinantal point processes like the number of eigenvalues in the GUE or the number of points in Airy, Bessel, and $\sin$ random point fields.

description: In a preceding paper we examined the question whether the spin-spin repulsion and the gravitational attraction of two aligned sub-extremal black holes can balance each other. Based on the solution of a boundary value problem for two separate (Killing-) horizons and a novel black hole criterion we were able to prove the non-existence of the equilibrium configuration in question. In this paper we extend the non-existence proof to extremal black holes.

description: Designs of high-voltage (HV) systems for creating a drift electric field in liquid argon TPCs are reviewed. In ongoing experiments systems capable of approx. 100 kV are realised for a drift field of 0.5-1 kV/cm over a length of up to 1.5 m. Two of them having different approaches are presented: (1) the ICARUS-T600 detector having a system consisting of an external power supply, HV feedthroughs and resistive voltage degraders and (2) the ArDM-1t detector having a cryogenic Greinacher HV multiplier inside the liquid argon volume. For a giant scale liquid argon TPC, a system providing 2 MV may be required to attain a drift length of approx. 20 m. Feasibility of such a system is evaluated by extrapolating the existing designs.

Quantum versus classical counting in nonMarkovian master equations

description: We discuss the description of full counting statistics in quantum transport with a nonMarkovian master equation. We focus on differences arising from whether charge is considered as a classical or a quantum degree of freedom. These differences manifest themselves in the inhomogeneous term of the master equation which describes initial correlations. We describe the influence on current and in particular, the finite-frequency shotnoise. We illustrate these ideas by studying transport through a quantum dot and give results that include both sequential and cotunneling processes. Importantly, the noise spectra derived from the classical description are essentially frequency-independent and all quantum noise effects are absent. These effects are fully recovered when charge is considered as a quantum degree of freedom.

description: We give a prescription to define in Loop Quantum Gravity the electric field operator related to the scale factor of an homogeneous and isotropic cosmological space-time. This procedure allows to link the fundamental theory with its cosmological implementation. In view of the conjugate relation existing between holonomies and fluxes, the edge length and the area of surfaces in the fiducial metric satisfy a duality condition. As a consequence, the area operator has a discrete spectrum also in Loop Quantum Cosmology. This feature makes the super-Hamiltonian regularization an open issue of the whole formulation.

Improving sensor-cloud : energy efficiency, security, sensory data transmission, and quality of service
Creators: name: Zhu, Chunsheng
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Recently, induced by incorporating 1) the ubiquitous data gathering capabilities of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) as well as 2) the powerful data storage and data processing abilities of cloud computing (CC), Sensor-Cloud is attracting growing attention from both academia and industry. However, Sensor-Cloud is still in its infancy and a lot of research efforts are expected to emerge in this area. Improving Sensor-Cloud, this thesis first presents the important research issues that are yet to be widely investigated by other researchers regarding the energy efficiency, security, sensory data transmission and quality of service (QoS) of Sensor-Cloud, respectively. Further, our accomplished work regarding solving the identified research issues is described. Particularly, two collaborative location-based sleep scheduling (CLSS) schemes are designed. Based on the locations of mobile users, CLSS dynamically determines the awake or asleep status of each sensor node to reduce energy consumption of the WSN integrated with mobile cloud. An authenticated trust and reputation calculation and management (ATRCM) system is introduced. ATRCM considers i) the authenticity of cloud service provider (CSP) and sensor network provider (SNP); ii) the attribute requirement of cloud service user (CSU) and CSP; iii) the cost, trust, and reputation of the service of CSP and SNP. A mechanism named TPSS is shown. TPSS consists of two main parts: 1) time and priority-based selective data transmission (TPSDT) for WSN gateway to selectively transmit sensory data to the cloud and 2) priority-based sleep scheduling (PSS) algorithm for WSN to save energy consumption. Trust-Assisted Sensor-Cloud (TASC) is exhibited. In TASC, the sensory data is gathered and transmitted to cloud, by the trusted sensors (i.e., sensors which own trust values surpassing a threshold) in WSN. The sensory data is stored, processed and on demand delivered to users, by the trusted data centers (i.e., data centers which own trust values surpassing a threshold) in cloud. The analytical and experimental results conducted in our work show that the proposed approaches can effectively alleviate the corresponding research issues, respectively. We hope our work can attract more research into Sensor-Cloud to make it develop faster and better.
