description: Waveguide resonators are crucial elements in sensitive astrophysical detectors [1] and circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED) [2]. Coupled to artificial atoms in the form of superconducting qubits [3, 4], they now provide a technologically promising and scalable platform for quantum information processing tasks [2, 5-8]. Coupling these circuits, in situ, to other quantum systems, such as molecules [9, 10], spin ensembles [11, 12], quantum dots [13] or mechanical oscillators [14, 15] has been explored to realize hybrid systems with extended functionality. Here, we couple a superconducting coplanar waveguide resonator to a nano-coshmechanical oscillator, and demonstrate all-microwave field controlled slowing, advancing and switching of microwave signals. This is enabled by utilizing electromechanically induced transparency [16-18], an effect analogous to electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in atomic physics [19]. The exquisite temporal control gained over this phenomenon provides a route towards realizing advanced protocols for storage of both classical and quantum microwave signals [20-22], extending the toolbox of control techniques of the microwave field.

description: Recent data from long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments have provided new information on θ_{13}, hinting that 0.01\lesssim sin^2 2θ_{13} \lesssim 0.1 at 2 sigma C.L. Confirmation of this result with high significance will have a crucial impact on the optimization of the future long-baseline oscillation experiments designed to probe the neutrino mass ordering and leptonic CP violation. In this context, we expound in detail the physics reach of an experimental setup where neutrinos produced in a conventional wide-band beam facility at CERN are observed in a proposed Giant Liquid Argon detector at the Pyhäsalmi mine, at a distance of 2290 km. This particular setup would have unprecedented sensitivity to the mass ordering and CP violation in the light of large θ_{13}. With a 10 to 20 kt `pilot' detector and just a few years of neutrino beam running, the mass hierarchy could be determined, irrespective of the true values of δ_{CP} and the mass hierarchy, at 3 sigma (5 sigma) C.L. if sin^2 2θ_{13}(true) = 0.05 (0.1). With the same exposure, we start to have 3 sigma sensitivity to CP violation if sin^2 2θ_{13}(true) > 0.05, in particular testing maximally CP-violating scenarios at a high C.L. After optimizing the neutrino and anti-neutrino running fractions, we study the performance of the setup as a function of the exposure, identifying three milestones to have roughly 30%, 50% and 70% coverage in δ_{CP}(true) for 3 sigma CP violation discovery. For comparison, we also study the CERN to Slanic baseline of 1540 km. This work demonstrates that an incremental program, staged in terms of the exposure, can achieve the desired physics goals within a realistically feasible timescale, and produce significant new results at each stage.

description: Sessile microorganisms were described as early as the seventeenth century. However, the term biofilm arose only in the 1960s in wastewater treatment research and was adopted later in marine fouling and in medical and dental microbiology. The sessile mode of microbial life was gradually recognized to be predominant on Earth, and the term biofilm became established for the growth of microorganisms in aggregates, frequently associated with interfaces, although many, if not the majority, of them not being continuous “films” in the strict sense. In this sessile form of life, microorganisms live in close proximity in a matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). They share emerging properties, clearly distinct from solitary free floating planktonic microbial cells. Common characteristics include the formation of synergistic microconsortia, using the EPS matrix as an external digestion system, the formation of gradients and high biodiversity over microscopically small distances, resource capture and retention, facilitated gene exchange as well as intercellular communication, and enhanced tolerance to antimicrobials. Thus, biofilms belong to the class of collective systems in biology, like forests, beehives, or coral reefs, although the term film addresses only one form of the various manifestations of microbial aggregates. The uncertainty of this term is discussed, and it is acknowledged that it will not likely be replaced soon, but it is recommended to understand these communities in the broader sense of microbial aggregates.

description: When sweeping the carrier concentration in monolayer graphene through the charge neutrality point, the experimentally measured Hall resistivity shows a smooth zero crossing. Using a two- component model of coexisting electrons and holes around the charge neutrality point, we unambiguously show that both types of carriers are simultaneously present. For high magnetic fields up to 30 T the electron and hole concentrations at the charge neutrality point increase with the degeneracy of the zero-energy Landau level which implies a quantum Hall metal state at ν=0 made up by both electrons and holes.

description: The role of plant–pollinator interactions in the rapid radiation of the angiosperms have long fascinated evolutionary biologists. Studies have brought evidence for pollinator-driven diversification of various plant lineages, particularly plants with specialized flowers and concealed rewards. By contrast, little is known about how this crucial interaction has shaped macroevolutionary patterns of floral visitors. In particular, there is currently no empirical evidence that floral host association has increased diversification in bees, the most prominent group of floral visitors that essentially rely on angiosperm pollen. In this study, we examine how floral host preference influenced diversification in eucerine bees (Apidae, Eucerini), which exhibit large variations in their floral associations. We combine quantitative pollen analyses with a recently proposed phylogenetic hypothesis and use a state speciation and extinction probabilistic approach. Using this framework, we provide the first evidence that multiple evolutionary transitions from host plants with accessible pollen to restricted pollen from ‘bee-flowers’ have significantly increased the diversification of a bee clade. We suggest that exploiting host plants with restricted pollen has allowed the exploitation of a new ecological niche for eucerine bees and contributed both to their colonization of vast regions of the world and their rapid diversification.

description: In many instances, information on engineering systems can be obtained through measurements, monitoring or direct observations of system performances and can be used to update the system reliability estimate. In structural reliability analysis, such information is expressed either by inequalities (e.g. for the observation that no defect is present) or by equalities (e.g. for quantitative measurements of system characteristics). When information Z is of the equality type, the a-priori probability of Z is zero and most structural reliability methods (SRM) are not directly applicable to the computation of the updated reliability. Hitherto, the computation of the reliability of engineering systems conditional on equality information was performed through first- and second order approximations. In this paper, it is shown how equality information can be transformed into inequality information, which enables reliability updating by solving a standard structural system reliability problem. This approach enables the use of any SRM, including those based on simulation, for reliability updating with equality information. It is demonstrated on three numerical examples, including an application to fatigue reliability.
Matrix metalloproteinase regulation of inflammatory proteins
Creators: name: Starr, Amanda E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Recruitment of leukocytes is a hallmark feature of inflammation, as is the dissipation of the infiltrate for healing. Continual recruitment and leukocyte activation results in host tissue damage that is pathognomonic of chronic inflammatory disease. Matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) are an important family of endopeptidases that are elevated and associated with inflammatory diseases. Historically considered to promote cellular invasion by degrading components of the extracellular matrix, it is now recognized that MMPs specifically process bioactive molecules to alter the function of these proteins. A novel substrate discovery method identified that MMP truncation of the first 4 amino acid residues of the monocyte chemoattractant cytokine (chemokine) CCL7 produced a receptor antagonist that is capable of reversing the inflammatory response in vivo. Since this first discovery, nearly half of all chemokines have been identified as MMP substrates, resulting in products that promote and inhibit neutrophil recruitment, and inhibit monocyte recruitment and so implicating MMPs as major regulators of innate immunity. I hypothesized that MMP processing of select chemokines would promote monocyte recruitment, and that neutrophil-specific membrane-type (MT)6-MMP processes chemokines and other inflammatory mediators during neutrophil migration through the endothelium and stroma. To identify chemokines activated by MMP-processing, I systematically evaluated all monocyte attracting CC chemokines, finding that all are cleaved by at least one MMP. Moreover, in vitro functional assays showed that MMP processing of CCL16 increases glycosaminoglycan binding of the chemokine, whereas CCL15 and CCL23 products have enhanced agonist activity. To identify substrates of MT6-MMP, chemokine cleavage was evaluated in vitro, and the proteomics method terminal amino isotopic labeling of substrates (TAILS) was applied to soluble and membrane-associated human lung fibroblast and human microendothelial cell proteomes. 14 chemokines, as well as vimentin, insulin-like growth factor binding protein-7, cystatin C, and galectin-1 were confirmed to be substrates of MT6-MMP. I propose that MT6-MMP has pleiotropic roles in inflammation by potentiating and then inhibiting neutrophil recruitment, contributing to monocyte recruitment, and promoting wound healing. Contributing to our understanding of the roles of MMPs in inflammation, my work also suggests new modalities whereby perturbing MMP regulation promotes inflammatory disease.

Being universal and numerically robust, these methods are straight-forward to automate for next-to-leading-order computations within Standard Model and beyond. Several state-of-the-art results including studies of W/Z+3-jet and W+4-jet production have explicitly demonstrated the effectiveness of the unitarity method for describing multi-parton scattering. Here we review central ideas needed to obtain efficient numerical implementations. This includes on-shell loop-level recursions, the unitarity method, color management and further refined tricks.

description: We revisit the critical behavior of the sub-ohmic spin-boson model. Analysis of both the leading and subleading terms in the temperature dependence of the inverse static local spin susceptibility at the quantum critical point, calculated using a numerical renormalization-group method, provides evidence that the quantum critical point is interacting in cases where the quantum-to-classical mapping would predict mean-field behavior. The subleading term is shown to be consistent with an w/T scaling of the local dynamical susceptibility, as is the leading term. The frequency and temperature dependences of the local spin susceptibility in the strong-coupling (delocalized) regime are also presented. We attribute the violation of the quantum-to-classical mapping to a Berry-phase term in a continuum path-integral representation of the model. This effect connects the behavior discussed here with its counterparts in models with continuous spin symmetry.

description: The linearized massive gravity in three dimensions, over any maximally symmetric background, is known to be presented in a self-dual form as a first order equation which encodes not only the massive Klein-Gordon type field equation but also the supplementary transverse-traceless conditions. We generalize this construction to higher dimensions. The appropriate dual description in d dimensions, additionally to a (non-symmetric) tensor field $h_{μν}$, involves an extra rank-(d-1) field equivalently represented by the torsion rank-3 tensor. The symmetry condition for $h_{μν}$ arises on-shell as a consequence of the field equations. The action principle of the dual theory is formulated. The focus has been made on four dimensions. Solving one of the fields in terms of the other and putting back in the action one obtains two other equivalent formulations of the theory in which the action is quadratic in derivatives. In one of these representations the theory is formulated entirely in terms of a rank-2 non-symmetric tensor $h_{μν}$. This quadratic theory is not identical to the Fierz-Pauli theory and contains the coupling between the symmetric and antisymmetric parts of $h_{μν}$. Nevertheless, the only singularity in the propagator is the same as in the Fierz-Pauli theory so that only the massive spin-2 particle is propagating. In the other representation, the theory is formulated in terms of the torsion rank-3 tensor only. We analyze the conditions which follow from the field equations and show that they restrict to 5 degrees of freedom thus producing an alternative description to the massive spin-2 particle. A generalization to higher dimensions is suggested.

description: The idea of using metaplastic synapses to incorporate the separate storage of long- and short-term memories via an array of hidden states was put forward in the cascade model of Fusi et al. In this paper, we devise and investigate two models of a metaplastic synapse based on these general principles. The main difference between the two models lies in their available mechanisms of decay, when a contrarian event occurs after the build-up of a long-term memory. In one case, this leads to the conversion of the long-term memory to a short-term memory of the opposite kind, while in the other, a long-term memory of the opposite kind may be generated as a result. Appropriately enough, the response of both models to short-term events is not affected by this difference in architecture. On the contrary, the transient response of both models, after long-term memories have been created by the passage of sustained signals, is rather different. The asymptotic behaviour of both models is, however, characterised by power-law forgetting with the same universal exponent.

description: We report on a new iron selenide superconductor with a TC onset of 45K and the nominal composition Lix(C5H5N)yFe2-zSe2, synthesized via intercalation of dissolved alkaline metal in anhydrous pyridine at room temperature. This superconductor exhibits a broad transition, reaching zero resistance at 10K. Magnetization measurements reveal a superconducting shielding fraction of approximately 30%. Analogous phases intercalated with Na, K and Rb were also synthesized and characterized. The superconducting transition temperature of Lix(C5H5N)yFe2-zSe2 is clearly enhanced in comparison to the known superconductors FeSe0.98 (Tc ~ 8K) and AxFe2-ySe2 (TC ~ 27-32K) and is in close agreement with critical temperatures recently reported for Lix(NH3)yFe2-zSe2. Post-annealing of intercalated material (Lix(C5H5N)yFe2-zSe2) at elevated temperatures drastically enlarges the c-parameter of the unit cell (~44%) and increases the amount of superconducting shielding fraction to nearly 100%. Our findings indicate a new synthesis road leading to possibly even higher critical temperatures in this class of materials by intercalation of organic compounds between Fe-Se layers.

MUSTACHES regulates bilateral symmetry in stomata
Creators: name: Keerthisinghe, Sandra Roshini
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Arabidopsis stomata develop from specialized stem cells in a dedicated cell lineage which harbours both asymmetric and symmetric divisions. This pathway terminates in the production of two bilaterally symmetrical guard cells (GCs) surrounding a pore, which are essential for shoot gas exchange. Morphogenesis of each GC continues in parallel after the symmetric division, indicating that development is tightly coordinated in time and space. Morphogenesis involves key events, such as the organization of distinctive microtubule arrays and the deposition of ordered cellulose microfibrils, which generate the bilateral symmetry of the mature stomatal valve. Although several genes are known to be required for the symmetric division of the guard mother cell (GMC), the genes and events required for coordinated GC development are largely unknown. MUSTACHES (MUS) is a leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase (LRR-RLK) required for stomatal morphogenesis that acts primarily after the two young GCs form. Analysis of the range of phenotypic defects in mature stomata in several loss-of-function mus alleles revealed disruptions in the mirror-like symmetry of microtubule arrays, GC walls, and the stomatal pore. Radial microtubule arrays in developing and mature stomata display a polarity with respect to the trajectories of the microtubule End Binding protein, EB1. In wild-type GCs, most EB1 trajectories move away from the stomatal pore. However in a mus background, many more EB1 comets move towards the stomatal pore, suggesting that the outbound to inbound ratio of microtubule trajectories might regulate or be part of a feedback loop that generates stomatal symmetry. A ProMUS:MUS-GFP translational fusion, transformed into wild-type and mus mutant lines, exhibited GFP localization in cell plates during both symmetric and asymmetric divisions throughout the plant. The only cell type observed that did not show MUS distribution in the cell plate was the GMC where GFP distribution was instead confined to the cell periphery, a distribution that persisted in young stomata. Because the division of the GMC appears to be normal in mus, it is likely that MUS function from the cell periphery is required to generate an appropriately shaped, bilaterally symmetric, and functional stomatal valve.

description: We have analyzed the prospect of probing a non-universal gaugino mass model of mixed bino-higgsino dark matter at the current 7 TeV run of LHC. It provides cosmologically compatible dark matter relic density over two broad bands of parameters, corresponding to $m_{\gl} < m_{\sq}$ and $m_{\gl} \sim m_{\sq}$. The SUSY spectrum of this model has two distinctive features : (i) an approximate degeneracy among the lighter chargino and neutralino masses, and (ii) an inverted mass hierarchy of squark masses. We find that these features can be exploited to obtain a viable signal upto $m_{\gl} \sim$ 800 GeV over both the parameter bands with an integrated luminosity 5/fb.

description: In 1932, Seifert introduced a large class of 3-manifolds, now called Seifert manifolds. In his paper, he determined the fundamental groups and homology groups of Seifert manifolds. Until the year 2000, however, the ring structures of these cohomology groups were not known apart from a few special cases. Bryden, Hayat-Legrand, Zieschang, and Zvengrowski computed the cup product structures in the cohomology of orientable Seifert manifolds with infinite fundamental group and coefficients Zp (for p prime). This dissertation is primarily devoted to carrying out the above programme for those Seifert manifolds with finite fundamental group, also known as the Clifford-Klein spherical space forms, with coefficients including both Z and Zp.

description: Perching birds (Passeriformes) are divided into two sub-orders, the oscines and the suboscines. The suboscines make up 20% of living passerines, but relatively few studies address song function in this group. I document patterns of intra- and interindividual song variation within a population of Dusky Flycatchers (Empidonax oberholseri), a suboscine, as a first step in investigating song function. I provide evidence to support the hypothesis that song syllables are more variable in structure among than within individual males for data from both single recordings and multiple recordings made over a breeding season. This variation would allow individual recognition to occur using songs. To further examine song function, I document diurnal and seasonal patterns of singing behavior in individuals. I provide evidence to support my second hypothesis, that dawn and daytime singing have functions that are at least partially non-overlapping. Singing behaviors were qualitatively and quantitatively different between dawn and daytime singing in both 2001 and 2002. Dawn and daytime singing were influenced differently by weather, population density, and breeding stage. These results provide clues into function and evolution of song in this group, as suboscines songs probably develop innately, whereas oscine songs are at least partially learned.

description: Real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging (rtfMRI) suffers from known issues related to T2*-weighted single-echo echo-planar imaging (EPI). These include image dropout in areas with increased local magnetic susceptibility susceptibility gradients; suboptimal whole-brain blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) contrast due to average T2*-weighting; and confounders like subject motion and physiology. During fMRI neurofeedback a metric calculated from real-time brain activity is presented visually to the subject in the scanner. To prevent sham feedback, new methods should focus on improving BOLD signal quality in real-time. In this work, presented as a poster at the 11th annual meeting of the ISMRM Benelux chapter (17 January 2019), we present our work on real-time multi-echo fMRI and its usefulness in increasing the temporal signal-to-noise ratio (tSNR) of rtfMRI.

description: We obtain new principles for transferring log-Sobolev and Spectral-Gap inequalities from a source metric-measure space to a target one, when the curvature of the target space is bounded from below. As our main application, we obtain explicit estimates for the log-Sobolev and Spectral-Gap constants of various conservative spin system models, consisting of non-interacting and weakly-interacting particles, constrained to conserve the mean-spin. When the self-interaction is a perturbation of a strongly convex potential, this partially recovers and partially extends previous results of Caputo, Chafa\"ı, Grunewald, Landim, Lu, Menz, Otto, Panizo, Villani, Westdickenberg and Yau. When the self-interaction is only assumed to be (non-strongly) convex, as in the case of the two-sided exponential measure, we obtain sharp estimates on the system's spectral-gap as a function of the mean-spin, independently of the size of the system.

description: The solution of a radial Schrödinger equation for ψ(r) containing a nonlocal potential of the form \int{K(r,r') ψ(r') dr'} is obtained to high accuracy by means of two methods. An application to the Perey-Buck nonlocality is presented, without using a local equivalent representation. The first method consists in expanding ψ in a set of Chebyshev polynomials, and solving the matrix equation for the expansion coefficients numerically. An accuracy of between 1:10^{6} to 1:10^{14} is obtained, depending on the number of polynomials employed. The second method consists in expanding ψ into a set of N Sturmian functions of positive energy, supplemented by an iteration procedure. For N=15 an accuracy of 1:10^{4} is obtained without iterations. After one iteration the accuracy is increased to 1:10^{6}. The method is applicable to a general nonlocality K.

Year: 2023

description: ATOMIS (ALMA archive TOol for Molecular Investigations in Space) is a web application that is designed to search for specific  species in the observations of the ALMA archive. With ATOMIS, the user can select the sources and species of interest while specifying filters on the minimum and maximum Eup, Aij, the uncertainty on the frequencies of the transitions. Usual filters on observations (angular resolution, spectral resolution, sensitivity, ...) are also available.  ATOMIS then lists all the spectral windows covering the transitions of the selected species. From ATOMIS, it is also possible to download the ALMA fits files and directly visualize them using other softwares such as ALADIN-CASSIS and YAFITS.

description: We identify HS 2325+8205 as an eclipsing, frequently outbursting dwarf nova with an orbital period of 279.841731(5) min. Spectroscopic observations are used to derive the radial velocity curve of the secondary star from absorption features and also from the H-alpha emission lines, originating from the accretion disc, yielding K_secondary = K_abs = 237 +- 28 km/s and K_emn = 145 +- 9 km/s respectively. The distance to the system is calculated to be 400 (+200, -140) pc. A photometric monitoring campaign reveals an outburst recurrence time of 12-14 d, The combination of magnitude range (17-14 mag), high declination, eclipsing nature and frequency of outbursts makes HS 2325+8205 the ideal system for "real-time" studies of the accretion disc evolution and behavior in dwarf nova outbursts.

description: Arctic tundra landscapes are composed of a complex mosaic of patterned ground features, varying in soil moisture, vegetation composition, and surface hydrology over small spatial scales (10-100 m). The importance of microtopography and associated geomorphic landforms in influencing ecosystem structure and function is well founded, however, spatial data products describing local to regional scale distribution of patterned ground or polygonal tundra geomorphology are largely unavailable. Thus, our understanding of local impacts on regional scale processes (e.g., carbon dynamics) may be limited. We produced two key spatiotemporal datasets spanning the Arctic Coastal Plain of northern Alaska (similar to 60,000 km(2)) to evaluate climate-geomorphological controls on arctic tundra productivity change, using (1) a novel 30m classification of polygonal tundra geomorphology and (2) decadal-trends in surface greenness using the Landsat archive (1999-2014). These datasets can be easily integrated and adapted in an array of local to regional applications such as (1) upscaling plot-level measurements (e.g., carbon/energy fluxes), (2) mapping of soils, vegetation, or permafrost, and/or (3) initializing ecosystem biogeochemistry, hydrology, and/or habitat modeling.

description: In this paper spectral methods are applied to investigate the hydrodynamic instability of swirling flow with application to Francis hydraulic turbine. Spectral methods imply representing the problem solution as truncated series of smooth global functions. An L2 - projection and the collocation methods are developed assessing both analytically methodology and computational techniques using symbolic and numerical conversions. Remarks concerning the efficiency and the accuracy of each method in this case are presented. The model of the trailing vortex is used to validate the numerical algorithms with existing results in the literature. All the results are compared to existing ones and they prove to agree quite well. The advantages of using this methods in flow control problems are pointed out.

description: It has been shown that many of the phenomena related to the formation of "tails" in the low-concentration region of ion-implanted impurity distribution are due to the anomalous diffusion of nonequilibrium impurity interstitials. These phenomena include boron implantation in preamorphized silicon, a "hot" implantation of indium ions, annealing of ion-implanted layers et cetera. In particular, to verify this microscopic mechanism, a simulation of boron redistribution during low-temperature annealing of ion-implanted layers has been carried out under different conditions of transient enhanced diffusion suppression. Due to the good agreement with the experimental data, the values of the average migration length of nonequilibrium impurity interstitials have been obtained. It has been shown that for boron implanted into a silicon layer preamorphized by germanium ions the average migration length of impurity interstitials at the annealing temperature of 800 Celsius degrees be reduced from 11 nm to approximately 6 nm due to additional implantation of nitrogen. The further shortening of the average migration length is observed if the processing temperature is reduced to 750 Celsius degrees. It is also found that for implantation of BF2 ions into silicon crystal, the value of the average migration length of boron interstitials is equal to 7.2 nm for thermal treatment at a temperature of 800 Celsius degrees.
