description: We assume that current state of the Universe can be described by the Inert Doublet Model, containing two scalar doublets, one of which is responsible for EWSB and masses of particles and the second one having no couplings to fermions and being responsible for dark matter. We consider possible evolutions of the Universe to this state during cooling down of the Universe after inflation. We found that in the past Universe could pass through phase states having no DM candidate. In the evolution via such states in addition to a possible EWSB phase transition (2-nd order) the Universe sustained one 1-st order phase transition or two phase transitions of the 2-nd order.

description: Time synchronization for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has been studied in recent years as a fundamental and significant research issue. Many applications based on these WSNs assume local clocks at each sensor node that need to be synchronized to a common notion of time. Time synchronization in a WSN is critical for accurate time stamping of events and fine-tuned coordination among the sensor nodes to reduce power consumption. This paper proposes a bidirectional, reference based, tree structured time synchronization service for WSNs along with network evaluation phase. This offers a push mechanism for (i) accurate and (ii) low overhead for global time synchronization. Analysis study of proposed approach shows that it is lightweight as the number of required broadcasting messages is constant in one broadcasting domain.

The PRMT response to inflammation : substrate methylation and alternative splicing
Creators: name: Vhuiyan,  Md. Mynol Islam
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Protein arginine N-methyltransferases (PRMTs) are a family of enzymes involved in signaling pathways and gene expression by methylating arginine residues of substrate proteins. PRMT2 has been demonstrated to play a role in the NF-κB signaling pathway. Moreover, our lab recently revealed association using proteomic techniques between PRMT2 and splicing factors including Src-associated in mitosis 68 kDa protein (SAM68) that mediates the alternative splicing of BCL-X involved in the NF-κB mediated inflammatory pathway. I wanted to investigate if the PRMT activity plays a role in response to inflammation under the treatment of inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) or pro-inflammatory bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in A549 cells. My proteomic experiments revealed that TNF-α and LPS cause similar changes to arginine methylation for proteins primarily involved in mRNA processing, RNA splicing, and nuclear transport, indicating that these two inflammatory stimuli share mutual downstream pathways involving methyltransferase activity. Among the proteins that showed hypermethylation upon treatment relative to control in mass spectrometry analysis, GAP SH3 domain-binding protein 2 (G3BP2) showed consistently in all three replicates on average a 1.5-fold increase in methylation at the R468 site in both TNF-α and LPS-treated cells. G3BP2 binds to IκB-α and prevents NF-κB translocation into the nucleus for subsequent signaling. G3BP2 methylation was necessary for signaling to occur in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Methylation of G3BP2 might also have similar role in the inflammatory pathway that demands further study. Moreover, consistent with an inflammatory response, proteins particularly involved in innate immunity and viral response increased upon TNF-α treatment that could be related to the observed change in methylation of proteins involved in RNA processing. Our finding that PRMT2 interacts with SAM68, prompted me to investigate the potential role of PRMT2 in BCL-X alternative splicing. I found that reduced expression of PRMT2 by siRNA caused a decrease in the BCL-X(L)/BCL-X(s) ratio, suggesting that PRMT2 may contribute to BCL-X alternative splicing. This effect was replicated in TNF-α or LPS stimulated cells when PRMT2 expression was reduced by shRNA, and reversed when PRMT2 expression was increased. These results indicate that PRMT2 may play a role during inflammation in alternative splicing regulation.

description: We study luminosities of millisecond pulsars in globular clusters by fitting the observed luminosity distribution with single and double power laws. We use simulations to model the observed distribution as the brighter part of some parent distribution for Terzan 5 and try to find a model which simultaneously agrees with the observed diffuse radio flux, total predicted number of pulsars and observed luminosity distribution. We find that wide ranges of parameters for log-normal and power-law distributions give such good models. No clear difference between the luminosity distributions of millisecond pulsars in globular clusters and normal disk pulsars was seen.

description: This work builds on and confirms the theoretical findings of Part 1 of this paper, Moarref & Jovanović (2010). We use direct numerical simulations of the Navier-Stokes equations to assess the efficacy of blowing and suction in the form of streamwise traveling waves for controlling the onset of turbulence in a channel flow. We highlight the effects of the modified base flow on the dynamics of velocity fluctuations and net power balance. Our simulations verify the theoretical predictions of Part 1 that the upstream traveling waves promote turbulence even when the uncontrolled flow stays laminar. On the other hand, the downstream traveling waves with parameters selected in Part 1 are capable of reducing the fluctuations' kinetic energy, thereby maintaining the laminar flow. In flows driven by a fixed pressure gradient, a positive net efficiency as large as 25 % relative to the uncontrolled turbulent flow can be achieved with downstream waves. Furthermore, we show that these waves can also relaminarize fully developed turbulent flows at low Reynolds numbers. We conclude that the theory developed in Part 1 for the linearized flow equations with uncertainty has considerable ability to predict full-scale phenomena.

description: Human Swarm Interaction (HSI) is a fast-growing research area in swarm robotics. One challenging aspect of HSI is facilitating how humans can effectively handle the many degrees-of-freedom present in a swarm of robots. One emergent option is the use of Augmented Reality (AR) systems. AR based interfaces are attractive as they can help provide a human operator with visual cues about the swarm’s states and control to facilitate decision-making. In research settings, AR systems can address issues such as limited availability of lab spaces, limited access to robotics resources, and the need for the ability to simulate dynamic environments with which robots and humans can interact. Further, to make swarm robotics more accessible and ubiquitous, HSI systems that support remote interaction would al- low humans to interact with robot swarms and multi-robot systems regardless of the geographical distance between humans and swarms. Taking these into consid- eration, this thesis aims to investigate the effectiveness of AR based interfaces as tools for remote interaction in HSI systems. We develop a simple AR based in- terface and evaluate its effectiveness against an unaugmented interface, by means of remote human user studies. The results of these studies help demonstrate the effectiveness of AR based interfaces for remote HSI.

The QED correction is evaluated to all orders in the nuclear binding strength parameter and, independently, to the first order in the expansion in this parameter. The results obtained lay the basis for the high-precision determination of nuclear magnetic dipole moments from measurements of the g-factor of hydrogen-like ions.

description: After approximately 6 years away from official SAE-sanctioned competitions, the USI Baja Racing Team of 2021-2022 returned for the 2022 Baja SAE season at Tennessee Tech, with a young and inexperienced lineup and a vehicle that was on the final steps of its lifespan. The car, codenamed MAX, was built and competed for the only season, as the unfortunate event of COVID-19 prevented its completion. Many valuable lessons and experiences were learned from observing fellow students and competitors, as well as sponsors’ showcase vehicles. From this foundation, the team has decided to construct an entirely new vehicle to compete for the 2023 season of Baja SAE and beyond. The objective of this project focuses on the chassis of the race vehicle, using lessons learned previously. Four chassis from four different teams were studied to understand the decisions and engineering completed for the design, which were then utilized to develop three different concepts of the 2023 chassis. Each concept explores a different design philosophy and directions, as well as interpretation of the rulebook. The core factors that dictate the overall design of a racing chassis are Integration of surround subsystems, such as powertrain, suspension and ergonomic, Manufacturability with the available facilities, and Protection of the driver. The team divided the chassis into three primary focus areas: Fore – Footwell, Center – Driver Cockpit, and Aft – Powertrain Bay. Each section required different elements to be considered, and at the end, needed to mesh in a complete harmony. The then completed chassis was evaluated during the assembly process and lessons for future design were discussed.

description: This thesis is about Guido Reni and his "Union of Disegno and Colore." It treats the painting as a visual summary of a complicated biography and a vast artistic consciousness. As the concept of compendio elucidates the synthetic nature of Reni’s allegory and his creative identity, I contextualize the word compendio in terms of style and the Idea in early modern Italian art. Finally, this project reviews how scholars have read Guido Reni’s paintings, and in doing so it expands the ways in which the artist and his oeuvre may be analyzed in relation to his sense of self and literacy.

description: We report the first extrasolar planet observations from the 10.4-m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC), currently the world's largest, fully steerable, single-aperture optical telescope. We used the OSIRIS tunable filter imager on the GTC to acquire high-precision, narrow-band photometry of the transits of the giant exoplanets, TrES-2b and TrES-3b. We obtained near-simultaneous observations in two near-infrared (NIR) wavebands (790.2 and 794.4 +/- 2.0 nm) specifically chosen to avoid water vapor absorption and skyglow so as to minimize the atmospheric effects that often limit the precision of ground-based photometry. Our results demonstrate a very-high photometric precision with minimal atmospheric contamination despite relatively poor atmospheric conditions and some technical problems with the telescope. We find the photometric precision for the TrES-2 observations to be 0.343 and 0.412 mmag for the 790.2 and 794.4 nm light curves, and the precision of the TrES-3 observations was found to be 0.470 and 0.424 mmag for the 790.2 and 794.4 nm light curves. We also discuss how future follow-up observations of transiting planets with this novel technique can contribute to the characterization of Neptune- and super-Earth-size planets to be discovered by space-based missions like CoRoT and Kepler, as well as measure atmospheric properties of giant planets, such as the strength of atmospheric absorption features.

description: We investigate energy and momentum non-contact exchanges between two arbitrary flat media separated by a gap. This problem is revisited as a transmission problem of individual system eigenmodes weighted by a transmission probability obtained either from fluctuational electrodynamics or quantum field theory. An upper limit for energy and momentum flux is derived using a general variational approach. The corresponding optimal reflectivity coefficients are given both for identical and different media in interaction.

Economic evaluation of a novel homestead food production program in rural Cambodia
Creators: name: Lakzadeh, Pardis
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Background: For over 20 years Helen Keller International has implemented homestead food production (HFP) programs in developing countries to improve the nutritional status of women and children, household food security and income. The HFP model encourages year-round food production through home gardens and animal husbandry. Although, HFP has been successful in increasing household food production, economic assessment of this program has been limited. In order for program implementers to allocate limited resources efficiently, there is a need for a rigorous economic assessment of HFP programs. Objective: To (1) identify factors associated with household income in rural, Cambodia, (2) to systematically measure and monetize food production from gardens and fishponds, and explore the cost-effectiveness of HFP in Cambodia in a cost-benefit analysis (CBA), using data from a randomized control trial (RCT), (3) explore the sensitivity of the CBA results and alternative scenarios for program implementation. Methods: Factors associated with household income, were examined using a generalized linear mixed model at a univariate and multivariate level. Food production was estimated from multiple longitudinal data sources. The program benefits (food production) were monetized using local village market values, while costs were determined through a micro-costing analysis. A CBA was carried out from the project perspective and the net monetary benefit in each study arm was estimated and compared to control households. Lastly, the sensitivity of the CBA results was tested in a one-way sensitivity and scenario analysis. Results: Assessment of baseline household income revealed that in rural Cambodia fishponds and pigs were associated with income. Households in the HFP program produced more food, relative to the control. The results from CBA show that home gardens are a cost-effective HFP intervention. The results from the scenario analysis suggest that the addition of fishponds to gardens may also be cost-effective if implemented outside a RCT. Conclusion: This study has developed tools to systematically measure and monetize food production from HFP, while finding that establishment of home gardens is a cost-effective use of resources.

Quantum entangled states have become the key ingredient in the rapidly expanding field of quantum information science. Although the nonclassical nature of entanglement has been recognized for many years, considerable efforts have been taken to understand and characterize its properties recently. In this review, we introduce some recent results in the theory of quantum entanglement. In particular separability criteria based on the Bloch representation, covariance matrix, normal form and entanglement witness; lower bounds, subadditivity property of concurrence and tangle; fully entangled fraction related to the optimal fidelity of quantum teleportation and entanglement distillation will be discussed in detail.

description: A theory of thermal transport in a two-channel Kondo system, such as the one formed by a small quantum dot coupled to two leads and to a larger dot, is formulated. The interplay of the two screening constants allows an exploration of the Fermi liquid and non-Fermi liquid regimes. By using analytical, as well as numerical renormalization group methods, we study the temperature dependence of the thermal conductance and the Lorentz number. We find that in the low temperature limit, the Lorentz number attains its universal value, irrespective of the nature of the ground state.

description: The study of jets offers insights into the nature of the basic partons composing matter, and enables further studies into the nature of the universe. This analysis presents the double-differential production cross section of radius parameter R = 0.3 proton-proton jets in units of pseudorapidity and transverse momentum at √ s = 5.02 TeV, measured in the Compact Muon Solenoid detector at the Large Hadron Collider experiment located at CERN. Jets are reconstructed using Particle Flow and the anti-kT algorithms. The methodology of correcting the detector response through Jet Energy Corrections and Bayesian unfolding is described with a detailed explanation. The results from data recorded in CMS in 2015 are shown and compared with leading-order theory-based simulated PYTHIA8 Monte Carlo events.

description: I sampled the wild bee community in the University of Maryland campus area in College Park, Maryland for one season and combined those data with that from previous years. The protocol was modified to significantly expand the geographic scope of the survey, covering a much wider spatial range of the campus. This combined data was used to assess population trends, best practices, and determine whether or not the expanded protocol offers advantages in capturing local wild bee diversity and/or analytical benefits over the previous survey. New data allowed for characterization of the local wild bee community and discerned a landscape driver of spatial variance in local diversity. Appropriateness of different geographic parameters was found to depend on survey goals.

description: A general method to treat non-Gaussian vacuum wave functionals in the Hamiltonian formulation of a quantum field theory is presented. By means of Dyson--Schwinger techniques, the static Green functions are expressed in terms of the kernels arising in the Taylor expansion of the exponent of the vacuum wave functional. These kernels are then determined by minimizing the vacuum expectation value of the Hamiltonian. The method is applied to Yang--Mills theory in Coulomb gauge, using a vacuum wave functional whose exponent contains up to quartic terms in the gauge field. An estimate of the cubic and quartic interaction kernels is given using as input the gluon and ghost propagators found with a Gaussian wave functional.

description: We present a detailed characterization of the X-ray spectral properties of 761 type 1 AGN, selected from a cross-correlation of the SDSS DR5 quasar catalogue and the incremental version of the second XMM-Newton serendipitous X-ray source catalogue 2XMMi-DR2. The X-ray spectrum of each source is fit with models based on a simple power law to which additional cold absorption and/or soft excess features are added if an F-test at 99% significance requires them. The distribution of best-fitting photon indices, Gamma, is fit with a Gaussian with mean = 1.99 +/- 0.01 and dispersion sigma = 0.30 +/- 0.01, however this does not provide a good representation of the distribution due to sources with very flat or steep gamma values. A highly significant trend for decreasing gamma values with increasing 2-10 keV luminosity, L_X, is seen but only a weak trend with redshift is found. Intrinsic cold absorption is detected in ~4% of the sample and soft excess emission is detected in ~8%. These values are lower limits due to the detectability being limited by the quality of the spectra and we suggest the intrinsic values may be as high as ~25% and ~80% respectively. The levels of rest-frame absorption are higher than expected for type 1 objects (N_H = 10^21-10^23 cm^-2) and the fraction of absorbed sources and the N_H values are not seen to vary with L_X or z. The average blackbody temperature used to model the soft excesses is = 0.17 +/- 0.09 keV. This temperature is found to correlate with L_X but not the blackbody luminosity or the black hole mass which do correlate with each other. A strong correlation is found between the luminosities in the blackbody and power law components suggesting that a similar fraction is re-processed from the blackbody to the power law component for the entire luminosity range of objects. . .

description: Superradiant Rayleigh scattering in a Bose gas released from an optical lattice is analyzed with incident light pumping at the Bragg angle for resonant light diffraction. We show competition between superradiance scattering into the Bragg mode and into end-fire modes clearly leads to suppression of the latter at even relatively low lattice depths. A quantum light-matter interaction model is proposed for qualitatively explaining this result.

description: The Brorfelde Schmidt CCD Catalog (BSCC) contains about 13.7 million stars, north of +49 deg Declination with precise positions and V, R photometry. The catalog has been constructed from the reductions of 18,667 CCD frames observed with the Brorfelde Schmidt Telescope between 2000 and 2007. The Tycho-2 catalog was used for astrometric and photometric reference stars. Errors of individual positions are about 20 to 200 mas for stars in the R = 10 to 18 mag range. External comparisons with 2MASS and SDSS reveal possible small systematic errors in the BSCC of up to about 30 mas. The catalog is supplemented with J, H, and K_s magnitudes from the 2MASS catalog. The catalog data file (about 550 MB ASCII, compressed) will be made available at the Strasbourg Data Center (CDS).

Fetal, neonatal and maternal sequelae of birth weight and sex discordance among twin gestations

description: Birth weight discordance and sex discordance are two major predictors in identifying adverse fetal, neonatal and maternal outcomes in twin gestation. No study to date has comprehensively studied the role of these predictors together and in relation to placenta and cord. We analysed data from a large population-based sample of 10 years twin deliveries born in British Columbia and compared the result with a hospital-based sub-sample, taking chorionicity information into account. The unique aspect of our study is the use of a large population-based sample, generalized equation modeling, a wide range of confounding variables and analysing chorionicity and pathological aspects of placenta and cord in relation to growth and sex discordance. Aberrant growth among twins was related to unequal placenta sharing, existence of anastomosis between superficial vessels on the placental surface, length of umbilical cord and type of cord insertion. Fetal sex is an important predictor in placental findings including anastomosis, unequal placenta sharing, placental lesions and placental inflammation. Receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed that a threshold level of ≥30% had the optimal accuracy to detect perinatal mortality irrespective of chorionicity. Perinatal mortality and morbidity were also associated with growth and sex discordance. Early and late neonatal mortality were more likely in male infants from male-female twin pairs compared with females from female-female pairs. The predictive basis of growth discordance on stillbirth was dependent on fetal sex discordance, fetal growth, parity, gestational age and sizes of the twins. Higher odds of adverse maternal outcomes were found for mothers carrying discordant growth twins compared to the reference category for the following conditions: preeclampsia, pregnancy induced hypertension, preterm labor, premature rupture of membrane, prolonged preterm rupture of membrane, length of stay >3 days and cesarean section. Sex pairing is associated with postpartum length of stay >3 days, proteinuria, pregnancy induced hypertension, preeclampsia and cesarean section. Given that chorionicity information is not available in most datasets, it is reasonable to use sex discordance as a proxy measure. Twin pregnancies can benefit from reliance of clinicians on these data showing the importance of growth and sex discordance in prediction of adverse pregnancy outcomes.

description: In the present paper few steps are undertaken towards the description of the qubit-qutrit pair - quantum bipartite system composed of two and three level subsystems. The computational difficulties with the construction of the local unitary polynomial invariants are discussed. Calculations of the Molien functions and Poincare series for the qubit-qubit and qubit-qutrit local unitary invariants are outlined and compared with the known results. The requirement of positive semi-definiteness of the density operator is formulated explicitly as a set of inequalities in five Casimir invariants of the algebra su(6).
