NC4Touch : an open-source platform for rodent behavioural training
Creators: name: Modara, Gelareh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Touchscreen-based cognitive testing has become a popular tool for assessing a wide spectrum of neuropsychological functions in both human and animal models. Specifically, rodent touchscreen paradigms were pioneered in the 1990s and have undergone significant refinement, with modern commercial systems—such as the Bussey-Saksida system—offering advanced features and greater standardization. Commercially available rodent touchscreen chambers have become very popular tools, benefiting from consistent hardware, software, and training protocols. These systems offer many advantages, including automated data collection, high throughput, strong translatability, and improved standardization across studies—contributing to more replicable and reliable outcomes. However, their high cost presents a significant financial barrier to widespread adoption. Recent open-source initiatives address these limitations by leveraging affordable components (e.g., Raspberry Pi, Arduino) and publicly shared designs and software. Projects such as the ArduiPod Box, the Raspberry Pi touchscreen operant chamber, and Visiomode illustrate different approaches to creating cost-efficient, customizable systems. Despite offering substantial financial and design flexibility, these setups often face their own challenges, including limited user interfaces, data handling constraints, and incomplete hardware documentation. Consequently, there remains a need for an open-source solution that combines user-friendliness, robustness, scalability, and aesthetic appeal while maintaining affordability. Therefore, we developed a customizable, cost-efficient (approximately $500) cognitive touchscreen chamber called NC4Touch for mouse and rat behavioral experiments. It features capacitive touchscreens alongside a feeding port, allowing straightforward training for tasks such as visual pairwise discrimination. Moreover, the user-friendly graphical interface provides real-time control and customization of tasks, supports video recording, and includes robust data management features. We validated the chamber’s operational efficiency and refined training protocols for pairwise visual discrimination tasks in multiple cohorts of rodents. Constructed using readily available microcontrollers, hobbyist-grade hardware, and a custom-built housing, this open-source apparatus offers an accessible solution comparable in performance to commercial systems. Its semi-modular design allows users to modify both hardware and software for various tasks, ranging from basic stimulus-response assays to complex visual discrimination paradigms.

description: We have calculated the spectrum and polarization of a standard thin accretion disk with parameters appropriate for a bright quasar. This model improves upon previous work by including ultraviolet metal line opacities, assumed for now to be in LTE. Though not yet fully self-consistent, our calculations demonstrate that metal lines can change the spectral slope, reduce the polarization, and reduce the Lyman edge feature in accretion disk spectra. Some observational differences between quasar spectra and accretion disk models might be reconciled with the inclusion of metal lines.

description: We compute the phase diagram of twisted bilayer graphene near the magic angle where the occurrence of flat bands enhances the effects of electron-electron interactions and thus unleashes strongly-correlated phenomena. Most importantly, we find a crossover between d+id superconductivity and Mott insulating behavior near half-filling of the lowest electron band when the temperature is increased. This is consistent with recent experiments. Our results are obtained using unbiased many-body renormalization group techniques combined with a mean-field analysis of the effective couplings.

Monsieur

Voici bien du temps, que notre correspondance ait été interrompue, je ne sais moi-même comment? Votre dernière lettre m'est parvenue plus d'une année et demie après sa date, en ayant été envoyée à Schemnitz en Hongrie de Vienne, je ne sais par qui? Entre vos lettres je trouverai une, qui me marquait quelques plantes autrichiennes, que vous désiriez. J'y vis plusieurs effacées par une ligne, que je suppose vous avoir envoyées autrefois. J'ai rassemblé dans mes dernières excursions, les restantes, et je les ai mis dans le paquet de Mr Cusson, en le priant de vouloir bien vous les remettre. Il m'a écrit de les avoir reçus, et qu'il aurait soin de vous les faire parvenir. J'ose me flatter, qu'elles vous feront plaisir, quoique arrivées bien lentement. J'y ai aussi joint quelques autres non autrichiennes, que je croyais de pouvoir vous manquer. Quand je saurai, monsieur, que [fol. 87v] ces envois puissent vous être agréables, je les continuerai; et pour ça vous aurez la bonté de m'indiquer ce que vous souhaitez préférablement, soit en graines, soit en plantes sèches. Je me trouve présentement plus en état qu'autrefois, de servir ici mes amis, y occupant la chaire de botanique et de chimie, ayant aussi conservé ma charge de conseiller au conseil suprême des mines et monnaies.

Ma collection en minéraux, de laquelle toute pétrification comme purement telle est exclue, est actuellement une des premières du pays, quasi complète, surtout brillante par la grandeur des pièces.

La collection de feue Sa Majesté l'Empereur ne s'augmente guère. Elle est ce qu'elle a été. Me flattant de recevoir de vos nouvelles, j'ai l'honneur d'être avec un parfait attachement, Monsieur, votre très humble et très obéissant serviteur

Jacquin

description: We study mass bounds of Maxwell fields in RN black holes and genuine hair in Einstein-Born-Infeld black holes with various cosmological constants. It shows that the Maxwell field serves as a good probe to disclose the hair distribution described with the event horizon and the photonsphere. And we find that the Hod's lower bound obtained in asymptotically flat space also holds in the asymptotically dS Einstein-Born-Infeld hairy black holes. In contrast, the Hod's lower bound can be invaded in the asymptotically AdS Einstein-Born-Infeld hairy black holes. It implies that the AdS boundary could make the Born-Infeld hair easier to condense in the near horizon area.

description: Size-selected anionic silicon clusters, Sin- (n=14-20), have been investigated by photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Low-energy structures of the clusters are globally searched for by using a genetic algorithm based on DFT calculations. The electronic density of states and VDEs have been simulated by using ten DFT functionals and compared to the experimental results. We systematically evaluated the DFT functionals for the calculation of the energetics of silicon clusters. CCSD(T) single-point energies based on MP2 optimized geometries for selected isomers of Sin- are also used as benchmark for the energy sequence. The HSE06 functional with aug-cc-pVDZ basis set is found to show the best performance. Our global minimum search corroborates that most of the lowest-energy structures of Sin- (n=14-20) clusters can be derived from assembling tricapped trigonal prisms (TTP) in various ways. For most sizes previous structures are confirmed, whereas for Si20- a new structure has been found.

description: Tie strengths in social networks are heterogeneous, with strong and weak ties playing different roles at both the network and the individual level. Egocentric networks, networks of relationships around a focal individual, exhibit a small number of strong ties and a larger number of weaker ties, a pattern that is evident in electronic communication records, such as mobile phone calls. Mobile phone data has also revealed persistent individual differences within this pattern. However, the generality and the driving mechanisms of this tie strength heterogeneity remain unclear. Here, we study tie strengths in egocentric networks across multiple datasets containing records of interactions between millions of people over time periods ranging from months to years. Our findings reveal a remarkable universality in the distribution of tie strengths and their individual-level variation across different modes of communication, even in channels that may not reflect offline social relationships. With the help of an analytically tractable model of egocentric network evolution, we show that the observed universality can be attributed to the competition between cumulative advantage and random choice, two general mechanisms of tie reinforcement whose balance determines the amount of heterogeneity in tie strengths. Our results provide new insights into the driving mechanisms of tie strength heterogeneity in social networks and have implications for the understanding of social network structure and individual behavior.

description: This paper outlines a program in what one might call spectral sheaf theory --- an extension of spectral graph theory to cellular sheaves. By lifting the combinatorial graph Laplacian to the Hodge Laplacian on a cellular sheaf of vector spaces over a regular cell complex, one can relate spectral data to the sheaf cohomology and cell structure in a manner reminiscent of spectral graph theory. This work gives an exploratory introduction, and includes results on eigenvalue interlacing, sparsification, effective resistance, and sheaf approximation. These results and subsequent applications are prefaced by an introduction to cellular sheaves and Laplacians.

description: Integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) is an emerging critical technique for the next generation of communication systems. However, due to multiple performance metrics used for communication and sensing, the limited degrees-of-freedom (DoF) in optimizing ISAC systems poses a challenge. Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) can introduce new DoF for beamforming in ISAC systems, thereby enhancing the performance of communication and sensing simultaneously. In this paper, we propose two optimization techniques for beamforming in RIS-assisted ISAC systems. The first technique is an alternating optimization (AO) algorithm based on the semidefinite relaxation (SDR) method and a one-dimension iterative (ODI) algorithm, which can maximize the radar mutual information (MI) while imposing constraints on the communication rates. The second technique is an AO algorithm based on the Riemannian gradient (RG) method, which can maximize the weighted ISAC performance metrics. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed schemes. The AO-SDR-ODI method is shown to achieve better communication and sensing performance, than the AO-RG method, at a higher complexity. It is also shown that the mean-squared-error (MSE) of the estimates of the sensing parameters decreases as the radar MI increases.

An API for managing multiple distinct sets of custom instructions
Creators: name: Freiberger, Brandon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Adding application-specific custom extensions to a system is a common way to gain performance. However, these extensions are generally created in isolation without mutual co-existence in mind, and may conflict with each other when composed together in the same system. For example, one of the main contributing factors is that different extensions may use the same op- codes. Although a regulatory body could allocate different opcodes for each extension, this resource is limited and cannot be provided indefinitely. The Draft CX Specification addresses this by describing a hardware mechanism for bank-switching the custom opcode space among multiple accelerators. The CX accelerator model is very powerful; each accelerator is allowed to use the entire custom opcode space, and may contain one or more distinct copies of state context. However, the Draft CX Specification is missing a programming model (API) that allows users to discover, use, and share these accelerators (and their state contexts) among multiple libraries and processes. This thesis proposes an API and corresponding modifications to the Linux kernel to manage multiple custom instruction extensions and their state contexts in RISC-V. The API uses an integer-sized quantity called a selector to identify the underlying accelerator and corresponding state con- text. Selectors use an open/select/close model similar to Linux kernel file descriptors to acquire, use, and free an accelerator and context. The API also assigns four different virtualization types to a state context; these types in- form the OS whether a state context is held for exclusive use by a process for maximum performance, or is time-shared with other processes through lazy context-switching to enable concurrent use of the accelerator. In addition to the API contributions, this thesis introduces a new hardware approach to isolate state contexts that is simpler than the approach described in the Draft CX Specification. Intended for embedded systems, this new approach can also implement the proposed API in Linux and in bare metal environments, but it supports fewer features. The API has been implemented and tested in Linux under QEMU, as well as bare metal on an FPGA-based processor.
The effects of a disc field on the bulge surface brightness

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Collisionless N-body simulations are used in an effort to reproduce the observed tendency of the surface brightness profile of bulges to change progressively from a de Vaucouleurs law to an exponential, going from early to late type spirals. A possible cause for this is the formation of the disc, later in the history of the galaxy, and this is simulated by applying on the N-body bulge the force field of a exponential disc whose surface density increases with time. It is shown that [n], the index of the Sersic law that best describes the surface brightness profile, does indeed decrease from 4 (de Vaucouleurs law) to smaller values; this decrease is larger for more massive and more compact discs. A large part of the observed trend of [n] with B/D ratio is explained, and many of the actual profiles can be matched exactly by the simulations. The correlation between the disc scalelength and bulge effective radius, used recently to support the "secular evolution" origin for bulges, is also shown to arise naturally in a scenario like this. This mechanism, however, saturates at around n=2 and exponential bulges cannot be produced; as [n] gets closer to 1, the profile becomes increasingly robust against a disc field. These results provide strong support to the old-bulge hypothesis for the early-type bulges. The exponential bulges, however, remain essentially unexplained; the results here suggest that they did not begin their lives as de Vaucouleurs spheroids, and hence were probably formed, at least in part, by different processes than those of early type spirals.

description: This article gives a probabilistic overview of the widely used method of default probability estimation proposed by K. Pluto and D. Tasche. There are listed detailed assumptions and derivation of the inequality where the probability of default is involved under the influence of systematic factor. The author anticipates adding more clarity, especially for early career analysts or scholars, regarding the assumption of borrowers' independence, conditional independence and interaction between the probability distributions such as binomial, beta, normal and others. There is also shown the relation between the probability of default and the joint distribution of $\sqrt{\varrho}X-\sqrt{1-\varrho}Y$, where $X$, including but not limiting, is the standard normal, $Y$ admits, including but not limiting, the beta-normal distribution and $X,\,Y$ are independent.

description: We use a recently developed fRG method (extendend Coupled-Ladder Approximation) to study the 0.7-analog in quantum point contacts, arising at the crossing of the 1st and 2nd band at suf- ficiently high magnetic fields. We reproduce the main features of the experimentally observed magnetic field dependence of the conductance at the 0.7-analog, using a QPC model with two bands and short-range interactions. In particular, we reproduce the fact that this dependence is quali- tatively different, depending on whether the analog is approached from higher or lower magnetic fields. We show that this effect can be explained qualitatively within a simple Hartree picture for the influence of the lowest electrons.

description: Recent hydrodynamical models of supernova remnants (SNRs) demonstrate that their evolution depends heavily on the inhomogeneities of the surrounding medium. As SNRs expand, their morphologies are influenced by the non-uniform and turbulent structure of their environments, as reflected in their radio continuum emission. In this paper, we measure the asymmetries of 96 SNRs in radio continuum images from three surveys of the Galactic plane and compare these results to the SNRs' radii, which we use as a proxy for their age. We find that larger (older) SNRs are more elliptical/elongated and more mirror asymmetric than smaller (younger) SNRs, though the latter vary in their degrees of asymmetry. This result suggests that SNR shells become more asymmetric as they sweep up the interstellar medium (ISM), as predicted in hydrodynamical models of SNRs expanding in a multi-phase or turbulent ISM.

At fixed physical volume the required number of modes does not increase in the continuum limit, and the acceptance is tolerable even for very light quark masses. Topological charge distributions at varying quark mass, and the static quark potential, showing the onset of string-breaking, are presented in both QED2 and QCD4.

description: Many robotic surgical systems have been developed with micro-sized forceps for tissue manipulation. However, these systems often lack force sensing at the tool side and the manipulation forces are roughly estimated and controlled relying on the surgeon's visual perception. To address this challenge, we present a vision-based module to enable the micro-sized forceps' multi-modal force sensing. A miniature sensing module adaptive to common micro-sized forceps is proposed, consisting of a flexure, a camera, and a customised target. The deformation of the flexure is obtained by the camera estimating the pose variation of the top-mounted target. Then, the external force applied to the sensing module is calculated using the flexure's displacement and stiffness matrix. Integrating the sensing module into the forceps, in conjunction with a single-axial force sensor at the proximal end, we equip the forceps with haptic sensing capabilities. Mathematical equations are derived to estimate the multi-modal force sensing of the haptics-enabled forceps, including pushing/pulling forces (Mode-I) and grasping forces (Mode-II). A series of experiments on phantoms and ex vivo tissues are conducted to verify the feasibility of the proposed design and method. Results indicate that the haptics-enabled forceps can achieve multi-modal force estimation effectively and potentially realize autonomous robotic tissue grasping procedures with controlled forces. A video demonstrating the experiments can be found at https://youtu.be/pi9bqSkwCFQ.

description: We evaluate the spin-$3/2 \to$ spin-$1/2$ electromagnetic transitions of the doubly charmed baryons on 2+1 flavor, $32^3 \times 64$ PACS-CS lattices with a pion mass of $156(9)$ MeV/c$^2$. A relativistic heavy quark action is employed to minimize the associated systematic errors on charm-quark observables. We extract the magnetic dipole, $M1$, and the electric quadrupole, $E2$, transition form factors. In order to make a reliable estimate of the $M1$ form factor, we carry out an analysis by including the effect of excited-state contributions. We find that the $M1$ transition is dominant and light degrees of freedom ($u/d$- or $s$-quark) play the leading role. $E2$ form factors, on the other hand, are found to be negligibly small, which in turn, have minimal effect on the helicity and transition amplitudes. We predict the decay widths and lifetimes of $Ξ_{cc}^{\ast +,++}$ and $Ω_{cc}^{\ast +}$ based on our results. Finite size effects on these ensembles are expected to be around 1\%. Differences in kinematical and dynamical factors with respect to the $Nγ\toΔ$ transition are discussed and compared to non-lattice determinations as well keeping possible systematic artifacts in mind. A comparison to $Ω_c γ\rightarrow Ω_c^\ast$ transition and a discussion on systematic errors related to the choice of heavy quark action are also given. Results we present here are particularly suggestive for experimental facilities such as LHCb, PANDA, Belle II and BESIII to search for further states.

description: We calculate the ratio $f_{B_s}/f_{B_d}$ by following the Oakes' method which is based on chiral symmetry breaking, but we improve his calculation by performing the calculation of the factor $<0|{\bar{b}}γ_5s|B_s>$/$<0|{\bar{b}}γ_5d|B_d>$ in the mock meson model. In this calculation we improved the mock meson model by using the value of the parameter $β$ which is obtained by the variational method in the relativistic quark model. We also calculate $f_{D_s}/f_{D_d}$, and then $(f_{B_s}/f_{B_d})\, /\, (f_{D_s}/f_{D_d})$. In this method we also obtain the ratio $f_{B_s}/f_{D_s}$ and $f_{B_d}/f_{D_d}$ which are important for the knowledge of CP violation and $B$-$\bar{B}$ mixing.

Global fits in the Georgi-Machacek model

description: Off the beaten track of scalar singlet and doublet extensions of the Standard Model, triplets combine an interesting LHC phenomenology with an explanation for neutrino masses. The Georgi-Machacek model falls into this category, but it has never been fully explored in a global fit. We use the {\texttt{HEPfit}} package to combine recent experimental Higgs data with theoretical constraints and obtain strong limits on the mixing angles and mass differences between the heavy new scalars as well as their decay widths. We also find that the current signal strength measurements allow for a Higgs to vector boson coupling with an opposite sign to the Standard Model, but this possibility can be ruled out by the lack of direct evidence for heavy Higgs states. For these hypothetical particles, we identify the dominant decay channels and extract bounds on their branching ratios from the global fit, which can be used to single out the decay patterns relevant for the experimental searches.

Key prenatal care topics : perspectives of pregnant individuals and prenatal care providers in a qualitative study
Creators: name: Lurye, Valentina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2025

description: Background: Pregnancy is a critical window of opportunity for health behavior interventions that can impact both maternal and fetal health. Evidence highlights low adherence to key health behaviors during pregnancy (e.g., physical activity and nutrition), along with a high prevalence of gestational weight gain above the recommendations. Although guidance from healthcare providers is crucial, barriers like time, knowledge gaps, and sensitive topics, along with communication gaps between pregnant individuals and prenatal care providers, often hinder patient-centered care and its effectiveness in discussing health behaviours during pregnancy. Dialogue tools like conversation cards are often used in other fields of clinical practice to improve communication, yet none exist for pregnancy. Objective: To explore key discussion topics from pregnant individuals’ and prenatal care providers’ perspectives that will be used to inform the development of PregnancyCards, a dialogue tool to improve communication on health behaviours. Methods: Using a qualitative study design, semi-structured virtual interviews were conducted with pregnant individuals (n= 21) and prenatal care providers (n= 14) across five Canadian provinces. Interview questions were grounded in the COM-B framework, and transcripts were analyzed thematically to identify topics relevant to prenatal care. Results: Analyses generated six themes, including (1) lifestyle and health behaviors, (2) mental health, (3) education and expectation-setting, (4) medical decision-making, (5) birth preparation and postpartum care, and (6) sociocultural and economic influences. Both pregnant individuals and prenatal care providers emphasized communication challenges around nutrition, substance use, mental health, and physical activity. Both groups highlighted the need for open dialogue, cultural sensitivity, and shared decision-making. Conclusions: Health-related topics can be challenging to discuss for both PIs and PCPs. This study identified the key discussion topics during prenatal care. Data from this study will be used to create and further evaluate the feasibility of using PregnancyCards as a conversation tool in clinical practice, their efficacy in enhancing communication on these topics, and their impact on health behaviours that influence maternal and fetal health outcomes.
The directed Age-dependent Random Connection Model with arc reciprocity

subject: social network

description: We introduce a directed spatial random graph model aimed at modelling certain aspects of social media networks. We provide two variants of the model: an infinite version and an increasing sequence of finite graphs that locally converge to the infinite model. Both variants have in common that each vertex is placed into Euclidean space and carries a birth time. Given locations and birth times of two vertices, an arc is formed from younger to older vertex with a probability depending on both birth times and the spatial distance of the vertices. If such an arc is formed, a reverse arc is formed with probability depending on the ratio of the endpoints' birth times. Aside from the local limit result connecting the models, we investigate degree distributions, two different clustering metrics and directed percolation.

Exotic Branes and Nonperturbative Seven Branes
Creators: name: Eyras, Eduardo
name: Lozano, Yolanda
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We construct the effective action of certain exotic branes in the Type II theories which are not predicted by their spacetime supersymmetry algebras. We analyze in detail the case of the NS-7B brane, S-dual to the D7-brane, and connected by T-duality to other exotic branes in Type IIA: the KK-6A brane and the KK-8A brane (obtained by reduction of the M-theory Kaluza-Klein monopole and M9-brane, respectively). The NS-7B brane carries charge with respect to the S-dual of the RR 8-form, which we identify as a non-local combination of the electric-magnetic duals of the axion and the dilaton. The study of its effective action agrees with previous results in the literature showing that it transforms as an SL(2,Z) triplet together with the D7-brane. We discuss why this brane is not predicted by the Type IIB spacetime supersymmetry algebra. In particular we show that the modular transformation relating the D7 and NS-7B brane solutions can be undone by a simple coordinate transformation in the two dimensional transverse space, equivalent to choosing a different region to parametrize the SL(2,Z) moduli space. We discuss a similar relation between the D6 and KK-6A branes and the D8 and KK-8A branes.

Long-range interactions and symmetry-breaking in quantum gases through optical feedback

Subjects: subject: Atomic Physics (physics.atom-ph)

description: We consider a quasi two-dimensional atomic Bose Einstein condensate interacting with a near-resonant laser field that is back-reflected onto the condensate by a planar mirror. We show that this single-mirror optical feedback leads to an unusual type of effective interaction between the ultracold atoms giving rise to a rich spectrum of ground states. In particular, we find that it can cause the spontaneous contraction of the quasi two-dimensional condensate to form a self-bound one-dimensional chain of mesoscopic quantum droplets, and demonstrate that the observation of this exotic effect is within reach of current experiments.

description: The role of anharmonicity on superconductivity has often been disregarded in the past. Recently, it has been recognized that anharmonic decoherence could play a fundamental role in determining the superconducting properties (electron-phonon coupling, critical temperature, etc) of a large class of materials, including systems close to structural soft-mode instabilities, amorphous solids and metals under extreme high-pressure conditions. Here, we review recent theoretical progress on the role of anharmonic effects, and in particular certain universal properties of anharmonic damping, on superconductivity. Our focus regards the combination of microscopic-agnostic effective theories for bosonic mediators with the well-established BCS theory and Migdal-Eliashberg theory for superconductivity. We discuss in detail the theoretical frameworks, their possible implementation within first-principles methods, and the experimental probes for anharmonic decoherence. Finally, we present several concrete applications to emerging quantum materials, including hydrides, ferroelectrics and systems with charge density wave instabilities.
