description: Background
Decreased but measurable serum IgA levels (≤70 mg/dL) have been associated with risk for infections in some populations, but are unstudied in COPD. This study tested the hypothesis that subnormal serum IgA levels would be associated with exacerbation risk in COPD.

Methods
Data were analyzed from 1,049 COPD participants from the observational cohort study SPIROMICS (535 (51%) women; mean age 66.1 (SD 7.8), 338 (32%) current smokers) who had baseline serum IgA measured using the Myriad RBM biomarker discovery platform. Exacerbation data was collected prospectively (mean 944.3 (SD 281.3) days), and adjusted linear, logistic and zero-inflated negative binomial regressions were performed.

Results
Mean IgA was 269.1 mg/dL (SD 150.9). One individual had deficient levels of serum IgA (<7 mg/dL) and 25 (2.4%) had IgA level ≤70 mg/dL. Participants with IgA ≤70 mg/dL were younger (62 vs. 66 years, p = 0.01) but otherwise similar to those with higher IgA. In adjusted models, IgA ≤70 mg/dL was associated with higher exacerbation incidence rates (IRR 1.71, 95% CI 1.01–2.87, p = 0.044) and greater risk for any severe exacerbation (OR 2.99, 95% CI 1.30–6.94, p = 0.010). In adjusted models among those in the lowest decile (<120 mg/dL), each 10 mg/dL decrement in IgA (analyzed continuously) was associated with more exacerbations during follow-up (β 0.24, 95% CI 0.017–0.46, p = 0.035).

Conclusions
Subnormal serum IgA levels were associated with increased risk for acute exacerbations, supporting mildly impaired IgA levels as a contributing factor in COPD morbidity. Additionally, a dose-response relationship between lower serum IgA and number of exacerbations was found among individuals with serum IgA in the lowest decile, further supporting the link between serum IgA and exacerbation risk. Future COPD studies should more comprehensively characterize immune status to define the clinical relevance of these findings and their potential for therapeutic correction.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Biodiversity is often defined as the variability among living organisms on earth, from genes to ecosystems, and the ecological and evolutionary processes that sustain it. Biodiversity is thus a complex, polymorphous and debated concept. The multiple dimensions of biodiversity raise the issue of its evaluation. A variety of indicators have been defined as proxies for biodiversity. Some are used in institutional frames, such as the Convention on Biological Diversity or SEBI2010 (Streamlining European 2010 Biodiversity Indicators), to help decision-makers formulate policy. Biodiversity indicators have to be feasible and useful communications tools while summarizing many complex concepts and processes. But which feature characterize indicators of marine and coastal biodiversity ? What are the similarities and differences between institutional indicators ? In this communication, we present an analysis of institutional indicators of marine and coastal biodiversity with respect to a range of fifteen criteria identified in several logical frameworks. Multivariate analysis was used to classify the numerous indicators identified. This work enables us to underline that a part of these indicators are not yet used, nor implemented. Most indicators are less focused on the component of biodiversity itself than on the anthropogenic pressures and the ecosystems services that biodiversity delivers to human society. In addition, biodiversity indicators seem mainly focused on rare species and habitats. But, these indicators are not always relevant beyond the species they measure. Change of one species or species group cannot be generalised to biodiversity.
A criterion for coincidence of the entanglement-assisted classical capacity and the Holevo capacity of a quantum channel

description: It is easy to show coincidence of the entanglement-assisted classical capacity and the Holevo capacity for any c-q channel between finite dimensional quantum systems. In this paper we prove the converse assertion: coincidence of the above-mentioned capacities of a quantum channel implies that the $χ$-essential part of this channel is a c-q channel (the $χ$-essential part is a restriction of a channel obtained by discarding all input states useless for transmission of classical information). The above observations are generalized to infinite dimensional quantum channels with linear constraints by using the obtained conditions for coincidence of the quantum mutual information and the constrained Holevo capacity.

description: We study the decoherence effects originating from state flipping and depolarization for two-dimensional discrete-time quantum walks using four-state and two-state particles. By quantifying the quantum correlations between the particle and position degree of freedom and between the two spatial ($x-y$) degrees of freedom using measurement induced disturbance (MID), we show that the two schemes using a two-state particle are more robust against decoherence than the Grover walk, which uses a four-state particle. We also show that the symmetries which hold for two-state quantum walks breakdown for the Grover walk, adding to the various other advantages of using two-state particles over four-state particles.

Costs and benefits of environmental data in investigations of gene-disease associations
Creators: name: Luo, Hao
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The inclusion of environmental exposure data may be beneficial, in terms of statistical power, to investigation of gene-disease association when it exists. However, resources invested in obtaining exposure data could instead be applied to measure disease status and genotype on more subjects. In a cohort study setting, we consider the tradeoff between measuring only disease status and genotype for a larger study sample and measuring disease status, genotype, and environmental exposure for a smaller study sample, under the ‘Mendelian randomization’ assumption that the environmental exposure is independent of genotype in the study population. We focus on the power of tests for gene-disease association, applied in situations where a gene modifies risk of disease due to particular exposure without a main effect of gene on disease. Our results are equally applicable to exploratory genome-wide association studies and more hypothesis-driven candidate gene investigations. We further consider the impact of misclassification for environmental exposures. We find that under a wide range of circumstances research resources should be allocated to genotyping larger groups of individuals, to achieve a higher power for detecting presence of gene-environment interactions by studying genedisease association.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Fucoids forests (e.g. the canopy-forming Cystoseira spp.) structure the Mediterranean rocky infralittoral habitats, providing food, shelter, and nursery habitat for many organisms including fishes. In the last decades the decline of Cystoseira forests has been recorded in several Mediterranean areas, due to direct and indirect effects of human activity. The loss of Cystoseira forests leads to a severe transformation of the habitat, which loses its tridimensional structure

description: Fermi-LAT has confirmed the excess in cosmic positron fraction observed by PAMELA, which could be explained by dark matter annihilating or decaying in the center of the galaxy. Most existing models postulate that the dark matter annihilates or decays into final states with two or four leptons, which would produce diffuse gamma ray emissions that are in tension with data measured by Fermi-LAT. We point out that the tension could be alleviated if the dark matter decays into three-body final states with a pair of leptons and a missing particle. Using the goldstino decay in a certain class of supersymmetric theories as a prime example, we demonstrate that simultaneous fits to the total e+ + e- and the fractional e+/e- fluxes from Fermi-LAT and PAMELA could be achieved for a 2 TeV parent particle and a 1 TeV missing particle, without being constrained by gamma-ray measurements. By studying different effective operators giving rise to the dark matter decay, we show that this feature is generic for three-body decaying dark matter containing a missing particle. Constraints on the hadronic decay widths from the cosmic anti-proton spectra are also discussed.

description: We construct compact and high accuracy Reduced Basis (RB) representations of single and multiple quasinormal modes (QNMs). The RB method determines a hierarchical and relatively small set of the most relevant waveforms. We find that the exponential convergence of the method allows for a dramatic compression of template banks used for ringdown searches. Compressing a catalog with a minimal match $\MMm=0.99$, we find that the selected RB waveforms are able to represent {\em any} QNM, including those not in the original bank, with extremely high accuracy, typically less than $10^{-13}$. We then extend our studies to two-mode QNMs. Inclusion of a second mode is expected to help with detection, and might make it possible to infer details of the progenitor of the final black hole. We find that the number of RB waveforms needed to represent any two-mode ringdown waveform with the above high accuracy is {\em smaller} than the number of metric-based, one-mode templates with $\MMm=0.99$. For unconstrained two-modes, which would allow for consistency tests of General Relativity, our high accuracy RB has around $10^4$ {\em fewer} waveforms than the number of metric-based templates for $\MMm=0.99$. The number of RB elements grows only linearly with the number of multipole modes versus exponentially with the standard approach, resulting in very compact representations even for many multiple modes. The results of this paper open the possibility of searches of multi-mode ringdown gravitational waves.

Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies as a test of early enrichment and metallicity-dependent star formation

description: The tight relation of star formation with molecular gas indicated by observations and assumed in recent models implies that the efficiency with which galaxies convert their gas into stars depends on gas metallicity. This is because the abundance of molecular hydrogen is sensitive to the abundance of dust, which catalyzes the formation of H_2 and helps to shield it from dissociating radiation. In this study we point out that in the absence of significant pre-enrichment by Population III stars forming out of zero metallicity gas, such H_2-based star formation is expected to leave an imprint in the form of bi-modality in the metallicity distribution among dwarf galaxies and in the metallicity distribution of stars within individual galaxies. The bi-modality arises because when gas metallicity (and dust abundance) is low, formation of molecular gas is inefficient, the gas consumption time scale is long, and star formation and metal enrichment proceed slowly. When metallicity reaches a critical threshold value star formation and enrichment accelerate, which leads to rapid increase in both stellar mass and metallicity of galaxies. We demonstrate this process both using a simple analytical model and full cosmological simulations. In contrast, observed metallicity distributions of dwarf galaxies or stars within them are not bi-modal. We argue that this discrepancy points to substantial early stochastic pre-enrichment by population III stars to levels Z ~ 0.01 Z_sun in dense, star forming regions of early galaxies.

description: One-loop theta-exact quantum corrections to the neutrino propagator are computed in noncommutative U*(1) gauge-theory based on Seiberg-Witten maps. Our closed form results show that the one-loop correction contains a hard 1/epsilon UV divergence, as well as a logarithmic IR-divergent term of the type ln sqrt(theta p)^2, thus considerably softening the usual UV/IR mixing phenomenon. We show that both of these problematic terms vanish for a certain choice of the noncommutative parameter theta which preserves unitarity. We find non-perturbative modifications of the neutrino dispersion relations which are assymptotically independent of the scale of noncommutativity in both the low and high energy limits and may allow superluminal propagation. Finally, we demonstrate how the prodigious freedom in Seiberg-Witten maps may be used to affect neutrino propagation in a profound way.

description: We discuss various applications of a uniform vanishing result for the graded components of the finite length Koszul module associated to a subspace K⊆⋀2V, where V is a vector space. Previously Koszul modules of finite length have been used to give a proof of Green’s Conjecture on syzygies of generic canonical curves. We now give applications to effective stabilization of cohomology of thickenings of algebraic varieties, divisors on moduli spaces of curves, enumerative geometry of curves on K 3 surfaces and to skew-symmetric degeneracy loci. We also show that the instability of sufficiently positive rank 2 vector bundles on curves is governed by resonance and give a splitting criterion.
Workshopping A Little Creation : a scenographic approach to theatre for young audiences, oral tradition and the concrete indian

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This thesis describes the production of A Little Creation, a play that I wrote and developed, which took place on the Frederic Wood stage during November 2011. The intent was to workshop my original script as a dramatic piece and explore its theatrical and visual elements. It was initially planned for the black box space of the Dorothy Somerset Studio on the University of British Columbia Campus, but was shifted to the Frederic Wood Theatre main stage. This shift to a much larger venue meant an increase in production scale and technical possibilities; the production literally grew to fit the space. The workshop production ran for three evening performances and one matinee during the week of November 24th until the 26th, 2011. Advisors for the project were Professor Alison Green, Professor Dory Nason, Professor Ron Fedoruk and Melody Anderson. The workshop consisted of a staged realization of my script in progress of the same title where I functioned as playwright, puppet designer and developer, as well as costume and set designer. In collaboration with Director Patrick New, UBC MFA candidate in Direction, Stage Manager Ashley Noyes, Designers Gua Khee Chong (Sound), Emily Hartig (Lighting), Jon Tsang (Lighting Supervisor), Brady Villadsen (Projections) Carolyn Rapanos (Graffiti and Head painter), and Actors Nyla Carpentier, Alex Carr, Meaghan Chenosky, Laura Fukumoto, David Kaye, Ashley McAllister and Lisa Smith, the workshop was intended to explore my creative process as an Indigenous person and artist alike, and to create a theatrical piece that I wanted to design rather than design a director’s vision; which is often the case. This thesis is a description of that workshop process concluding in an evaluation of the workshop and its effect on my creative process.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Previous analyses have revealed a global pattern in fish species richness where richness declines from the tropics towards the poles. To analyse this pattern further we combined data on fish species richness and maximum species body size, as provided by FishBase for Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs), with satellite-based estimates of average sea surface temperature and annual primary production. Total richness is shown to depend on temperature in approximately the same way as fish metabolism. The relative number of species per log maximum size bin is shown to change slightly, but not much, with temperature, so that the relationship between species richness and temperature is slightly but not very different for different maximum size bins. This suggests that a strong lawful underlying relationship exists between the richness of marine fish communities and temperature, but with a small amount of variation in how this relationship manifests for different species sizes. Species richness is positively and significantly related to LME area, primary production and temperature.

description: A review of the treatment of boundaries in general relativity is presented with the emphasis on application to the formulations of Einstein's equations used in numerical relativity. At present, it is known how to treat boundaries in the harmonic formulation of Einstein's equations and a tetrad formulation of the Einstein-Bianchi system. However, a universal approach valid for other formulations is not in hand. In particular, there is no satisfactory boundary theory for the 3+1 formulations which have been highly successful in binary black hole simulation. I discuss the underlying problems that make the initial-boundary value problem much more complicated than the Cauchy problem. I review the progress that has been made and the important open questions that remain.

description: The AR6 Scenarios Database is a vital repository of climate change mitigation pathways used in the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment cycle. In its current version, many scenarios in the database lack information about the level of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) removal via land sinks, as net-negative CO2 emissions and gross removals on land are not always separated and are not consistently reported across models. This makes scenario analyses focusing on CO2 removal challenging. We test and compare the performance of different regression models to impute missing data on land carbon sequestration for the global level and for several sub-global macro-regions from available data on net CO2 emissions from agriculture, forestry, and other land uses. We find that a k-nearest neighbors regression performs best among the tested regression models and use it to impute and provide two publicly available imputation datasets (10.5281/zenodo.13373539, Prütz et al., 2024) on CO2 removal via land sinks for incomplete global scenarios (n=404) and incomplete regional R10 scenario variants (n=2358) of the AR6 Scenarios Database. We discuss the limitations of our approach, the use of our datasets for secondary assessments of AR6 scenario ensembles, and how this approach compares to other recent AR6 data reanalyses.

description: A study of dijet production in proton-proton collisions was performed at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV for jets with pt > 35 GeV and abs(y) < 4.7 using data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC in 2010. Events with at least one pair of jets are denoted as "inclusive". Events with exactly one pair of jets are called "exclusive". The ratio of the cross section of all pairwise combinations of jets to the exclusive dijet cross section as a function of the rapidity difference between jets abs(Delta(y)) is measured for the first time up to abs(Delta(y)) = 9.2. The ratio of the cross section for the pair consisting of the most forward and the most backward jet from the inclusive sample to the exclusive dijet cross section is also presented. The predictions of the Monte Carlo event generators PYTHIA6 and PYTHIA8 agree with the measurements. In both ratios the HERWIG++ generator exhibits a more pronounced rise versus abs(Delta(y)) than observed in the data. The BFKL-motivated generators CASCADE and HEJ+ARIADNE predict for these ratios a significantly stronger rise than observed.

description: Music performance anxiety (MPA) is a deeply personal and often debilitating experience, causing talented musicians to dread the very stages upon which they showcase their art. An increasing number of studies have addressed this anxiety phenomenon, however, definitions vary and the underlying causes remain unclear. According to the DSM-5, MPA is categorized as a specific subtype of social anxiety disorder, with a shared understanding that its development is shaped by predisposing vulnerabilities as well as external stressors and circumstances. This mini-review provides an overview of relevant literature on the multi-dimensional causes of MPA, with a particular focus on early life experiences and personality traits. It aims to address three key challenges in the field by emphasizing the importance of an enhanced investigation of formative life events, recognizing the (potentially) mediating effects of personalities, and highlighting the necessity to explore protective factors. Investigating early life experiences and personality traits in the context of MPA can deepen our understanding of its origin and development, offering valuable perspectives to tailor interventions, prevent the escalation of anxiety, and foster supportive environments conducive to the well-being and professional growth of musicians.

description: A number of well-motivated extensions of the LCDM concordance cosmological model postulate the existence of a population of sources embedded in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). One such example is the signature of cosmic bubble collisions which arise in models of eternal inflation. The most unambiguous way to test these scenarios is to evaluate the full posterior probability distribution of the global parameters defining the theory; however, a direct evaluation is computationally impractical on large datasets, such as those obtained by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) and Planck. A method to approximate the full posterior has been developed recently, which requires as an input a set of candidate sources which are most likely to give the largest contribution to the likelihood. In this article, we present an improved algorithm for detecting candidate sources using optimal filters, and apply it to detect candidate bubble collision signatures in WMAP 7-year observations. We show both theoretically and through simulations that this algorithm provides an enhancement in sensitivity over previous methods by a factor of approximately two. Moreover, no other filter-based approach can provide a superior enhancement of these signatures. Applying our algorithm to WMAP 7-year observations, we detect eight new candidate bubble collision signatures for follow-up analysis.

Data are found to be consistent with the expectation from the Standard Model backgrounds. Limits on R-parity-violating couplings at 95% C.L. are calculated as a function of the scalar top mass (m_{t}). The upper limits on the production cross section for pp->emuX, through the t-channel exchange of a scalar top quark, ranges from 170 fb for m_{t}=95 GeV to 30 fb for m_{t}=1000 GeV.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.There is increasing use of an Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) that considers multiple species simultaneously. Conserving and restoring biodiversity is a key aspect of EAFM. This is because biodiversity is “the variability among living organisms from all sources” (UN, 1993) and in marine communities, an increase in biodiversity is often associated with increased ecosystem functioning and stability (Stachowicz et al., 2007). However, there is uncertainty about the form of the relationship between fishing and biodiversity (Greenstreet, 2008). We use a novel model to investigate how species diversity changes as fishing mortality increases in a temperate shelf ecosystem, under two different scenarios. In doing so, we determine the strength of fishing-induced trophic cascades, which may be important drivers of marine biodiversity (e.g. Frank et al., 2005).

description: We show that the presence of a spin-dependent random potential in a superconductor or a superfluid atomic gas leads to distinct transitions at which the energy gap and average order parameter vanish, generating an intermediate gapless superfluid phase, in marked contrast to the case of spin-symmetric randomness where no such gapless superfluid phase is seen. By allowing the pairing amplitude to become inhomogeneous, the gapless superconducting phase persists to considerably higher disorder compared with the prediction of Abrikosov-Gorkov. The low-lying excited states are located predominantly in regions where the pairing amplitude vanishes and coexist with the superfluid regions with a finite pairing. Our results are based on inhomogeneous Bogoliubov-de Gennes mean field theory for a two dimensional attractive Hubbard model with spin-dependent disorder.

description: The vast majority of chemical knowledge exists in unstructured natural language, yet structured data is crucial for innovative and systematic materials design. Traditionally, the field has relied on manual curation and partial automation for data extraction for specific use cases. The advent of large language models (LLMs) represents a significant shift, potentially enabling non-experts to extract structured, actionable data from unstructured text efficiently. While applying LLMs to chemical and materials science data extraction presents unique challenges, domain knowledge offers opportunities to guide and validate LLM outputs. This tutorial review provides a comprehensive overview of LLM-based structured data extraction in chemistry, synthesizing current knowledge and outlining future directions. We address the lack of standardized guidelines and present frameworks for leveraging the synergy between LLMs and chemical expertise. This work serves as a foundational resource for researchers aiming to harness LLMs for data-driven chemical research. The insights presented here could significantly enhance how researchers across chemical disciplines access and utilize scientific information, potentially accelerating the development of novel compounds and materials for critical societal needs.

description: Herein, we report the solvent-dependent reactivity of Fe(CO)5 toward AsF5 in either anhydrous HF or liquid SO2. The reaction of Fe(CO)5 with the superacid HF/AsF5 leads to the protonation of the iron center and allows for the first-time structural characterization of [FeH(CO)5]+ in the solid state, representing one of the most acidic transition metal hydride complexes to ever be isolated and structurally characterized. In the aprotic but oxidation-stable solvent SO2, Fe(CO)5 is oxidized and dimerized to [Fe2(CO)10]2+, which is isoelectronic with well-known Mn2(CO)10. [Fe2(CO)10]2+ is the first structurally characterized example of a homoleptic dinuclear transition metal carbonyl cation. Together with Fe(CO)5 and [Fe(CO)5]+•, it is a rare example of an iron-centered triad from which the neutral, the radical cationic, and the dimerized dicationic species have been structurally and spectroscopically characterized. All characterizations are well supported by quantum chemical calculations. We also make the argument that the dimerization of [Fe(CO)5]+• is largely dependent on the employed solvent.

description: We study the near-field heat exchange between hyperbolic materials and demonstrate that these media are able to support broadband frustrated modes which transport heat by photon tunnelling with a high efficiency close to the theoretical limit. We predict that hyperbolic materials can be designed to be perfect thermal emitters at nanoscale and derive the near-field analog of the blackbody limit.

description: Introductory remarks by EWOC 2016-2017 President Elise Lopez. Conference keynote speech by Judge Sheila Abdus-Salaam.

The theme of the third annual Empowering Women of Color Conference is Double-Consciousness. It’s really a theme that strikes at the core of what our group stands for. It’s about being an advocate both for ourselves in the legal and professional world, but also being a mentor to other women of color. It’s also about striking that balance between fitting into this generations-old institution of legal practice, but also pushing boundaries and keeping the dialogue going about issues that are relevant to women of color
Regularized Age-Period-Cohort Modeling of Opioid Mortality Rates

description: Opioid mortality rates have been increasing sharply, but not uniformly by age. Peak ages have recently dropped from the mid-40s to the mid-30s. There are two age peaks that have been moving up diagonally, with years of birth around 1960 and 1980 staying near the tops, and those around 1970 generally lower. We model this history with the Lee-Carter plus cohorts mortality model, which includes variable trends by age, and a generalization of it. This can be fit by maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) but statistical methods that shrink parameters towards zero (regularization) give lower predictive variances than MLE does. We address how to apply regularization to age-period-cohort models.
Frequentist and Bayesian regularization are explored. The latter has some practical advantages.

description: Against the background of climate change and scarce non-renewable resources, transforming the fossil-based toward a bio-based economy is considered crucial for sustainable development. Numerous countries have released governmental strategies outlining their bioeconomy visions. This study examines the bioeconomy visions presented in 78 policy documents from 50 countries worldwide, building on earlier vision typologies. Through qualitative content analysis, 227 distinct policy goals were identified and analyzed. Descriptive statistics were used to determine the salience of specific goals, overarching goal categories, and distinct bioeconomy visions: bioresource, biotechnology, and bioecology visions. The results reveal that goals and visions prioritize economic growth, while environmental considerations are less salient. The bioresource vision emerges as the globally dominant perspective, while the bioecology and biotechnology visions have lower salience. These findings deepen our comprehension of current bioeconomy policies and emphasize the need for critical research on bioeconomy visions and their implications for public policy.
Dispersive Optical Interface Based on Nanofiber-Trapped Atoms

description: We dispersively interface an ensemble of one thousand atoms trapped in the evanescent field surrounding a tapered optical nanofiber. This method relies on the azimuthally-asymmetric coupling of the ensemble with the evanescent field of an off-resonant probe beam, transmitted through the nanofiber. The resulting birefringence and dispersion are significant; we observe a phase shift per atom of $\sim$\,1\,mrad at a detuning of six times the natural linewidth, corresponding to an effective resonant optical density per atom of 0.027. Moreover, we utilize this strong dispersion to non-destructively determine the number of atoms.

description: Although she choreographed over seventy ballets, for most of the twentieth century Bronislava Nijinska has had a bad press, when she has had a press at all. In the annals of twentieth-century dance, Nijinska for the most part has been forgotten. Invisibility has been the lot of women artists generally. But in Nijinska's case, something more than the usual sexism has been afoot. Compounding the accident of sex was a second accident of birth. Arriving in the world two years after the brother who became this century's most celebrated dancer, she was sister to a legend—a phrase that could have served as her epitaph.
