description: The electronic origin of a large resistance change in nanoscale junctions incorporating spin crossover molecules is demonstrated theoretically by using a combination of density functional theory and the non-equilibrium Green's functions method for quantum transport. At the spin crossover phase transition there is a drastic change in the electronic gap between the frontier molecular orbitals. As a consequence, when the molecule is incorporated in a two terminal device, the current increases by up to four orders of magnitude in response to the spin change. This is equivalent to a magnetoresistance effect in excess of 3,000 %. Since the typical phase transition critical temperature for spin crossover compounds can be extended to well above room temperature, spin crossover molecules appear as the ideal candidate for implementing spin devices at the molecular level.

description: Background:
                Preterm birth (PTB) remains the leading cause of neonatal mortality and long term disability throughout the world. Though complex in its origins, a growing body of evidence suggests that first trimester administration of low dose aspirin (LDA) may substantially reduce the rate of PTB.

Methods:
                Hypothesis: LDA initiated in the first trimester reduces the risk of preterm birth.
                Study Design Type: Prospective randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded multi-national clinical trial conducted in seven low and middle income countries. Trial will be individually randomized with one-to-one ratio (intervention/control)
                Population: Nulliparous women between the ages of 14 and 40, with a singleton pregnancy between 6 0/7 weeks and 13 6/7 weeks gestational age (GA) confirmed by ultrasound prior to enrollment, no more than two previous first trimester pregnancy losses, and no contraindications to aspirin.
                Intervention: Daily administration of low dose (81 mg) aspirin, initiated between 6 0/7 weeks and 13 6/7 weeks GA and continued to 36 0/7 weeks GA, compared to an identical appearing placebo. Compliance and outcomes will be assessed biweekly.

Outcomes:
                           Primary outcome: Incidence of PTB (birth prior to 37 0/7 weeks GA).
                           Secondary outcomes Incidence of preeclampsia/eclampsia, small for gestational age and perinatal mortality.

Discussion:
                This study is unique as it will examine the impact of LDA early in pregnancy in low-middle income countries with preterm birth as a primary outcome. The importance of developing low-cost, high impact interventions in low-middle income countries is magnified as they are often unable to bear the financial costs of treating illness.

A molecular genetic survey of immune response genes and biodiversity of industrial and non-industrial chickens
Creators: name: Izadi Shavakand, Fariba
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The current practices in industrial poultry breeding developed specialized production lines from very few breeds, resulting in reducting in genetic diversity. “Free run/free range” production systems (non-industrial) are a more recent trend in the poultry sector. Non-industrial chicken populations may differ genetically and have more diversity in disease resistance genes than industrial populations. To test this hypothesis, six chicken populations from non-industrial source; Silkies (SK), Taiwanese Cross (TC), Shiqi (SQ), Yellow Shiqi (YSQ), Yellow Wai-Chow (YW), and Agassiz Cross (AC), and industrial populations; Lohmann White (LW) and Lohmann Brown (LB), were sampled and three related experiments were carried out. First, I used 18 microsatellite markers to study genetic diversity within and among the chicken populations. The industrial population LB and the experimental cross AC which shared some common ancestors, were closely related. Non-industrial chickens SK and TC, with Chinese breed ancestry, were related to SQ, YSQ and YW. LW with White Leghorn ancestry, was not related to the non-industrial populations. Except for YSQ and SQ, STRUCTURE clustered these chicken populations to the genetically distinct groups. Secondly, I used microsatellite marker (LEI0258), situated within the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) region, to reflect the genetic variability of the adaptive immune system. Results indicated that the industrial chicken populations may have less genetic variability in the MHC compared to non-industrial populations but industrial populations may have higher frequency of certain alleles that were part of their selection history against specific pathogens. Finally, I used SNP markers to examine the genetic variation in candidate genes associated with the innate immune system (ChB6, Casp-1, IAP-1, TGF-β3, BMP-7, TLR4, MD-2, IFN-γ, iNOS, IL-2, Mx1, and TVB). There was no difference between industrial and non-industrial populations in genetic variability in this immune system. The results provided partial support for the hypothesis that industrial populations may have higher resistance to specific diseases, while non-industrial populations may have higher general disease resistance. In conclusion, the results of this thesis research provided information on the genetic diversity of these chicken populations that can be used in decision making on conservation and in developing breeding stocks for free run/free range production.

description: We have discovered a class of eccentric binary systems within the Kepler data archive that have dynamic tidal distortions and tidally-induced pulsations. Each has a uniquely shaped light curve that is characterized by periodic brightening or variability at time scales of 4-20 days, frequently accompanied by shorter period oscillations. We can explain the dominant features of the entire class with orbitally-varying tidal forces that occur in close, eccentric binary systems. The large variety of light curve shapes arises from viewing systems at different angles. This hypothesis is supported by spectroscopic radial velocity measurements for five systems, each showing evidence of being in an eccentric binary system. Prior to the discovery of these 17 new systems, only four stars, where KOI-54 is the best example, were known to have evidence of these dynamic tides and tidally-induced oscillations. We perform preliminary fits to the light curves and radial velocity data, present the overall properties of this class and discuss the work required to accurately model these systems.

description: We present measurements of an amplifier operating at 3.8 GHz with 150 MHz of bandwidth based on the microstrip input-coil resonance of a dc superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) with submicron Josephson junctions. The noise temperature is measured using two methods: comparing the signal-to-noise ratio of the system with and without the SQUID in the amplifier chain, and using a modified Y-factor technique where calibrated narrowband noise is mixed up to the SQUID amplifier operating frequency. With the SQUID cooled to 0.35 K we observe a minimum system noise temperature of 0.55 $\pm~0.13$ K, dominated by the contribution from the SQUID amplifier.

Explanation-driven learning-based models for visual recognition tasks
Creators: name: Daniels, Zachary
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Safety-critical applications (e.g., autonomous vehicles, human-machine teaming, and automated medical diagnosis) often require the use of computational agents that are capable of understanding and reasoning about the high-level content of real-world scene images in order to make rational and grounded decisions that can be trusted by humans. Many of these agents rely on machine learning-based models which are increasingly being treated as black-boxes. One way to increase model interpretability is to make explainability a core principle of the model, e.g., by forcing deep neural networks to explicitly learn grounded and interpretable features. In this thesis, I provide a high-level overview of the field of explainable/interpretable machine learning and review some existing approaches for interpreting neural networks used for computer vision tasks. I also introduce four novel approaches for making convolutional neural networks (CNNs) more interpretable by utilizing explainability as a guiding principle when designing the model architecture. Finally, I discuss some possible future research directions involving explanation-driven machine learning.

description: Supernova (SN) 2009ig was discovered 17 hours after explosion by the Lick Observatory Supernova Search, promptly classified as a normal Type Ia SN (SN Ia), peaked at V = 13.5 mag, and was equatorial, making it one of the foremost supernovae for intensive study in the last decade. Here, we present ultraviolet (UV) and optical observations of SN 2009ig, starting about 1 day after explosion until around maximum brightness. Our data include excellent UV and optical light curves, 25 premaximum optical spectra, and 8 UV spectra, including the earliest UV spectrum ever obtained of a SN Ia. SN 2009ig is a relatively normal SN Ia, but does display high-velocity ejecta - the ejecta velocity measured in our earliest spectra (v ~ -23,000 km/s for Si II 6355) is the highest yet measured in a SN Ia. The spectral evolution is very dramatic at times earlier than 12 days before maximum brightness, but slows after that time. The early-time data provide a precise measurement of 17.13 +/- 0.07 days for the SN rise time. The optical color curves and early-time spectra are significantly different from template light curves and spectra used for light-curve fitting and K-corrections, indicating that the template light curves and spectra do not properly represent all Type Ia supernovae at very early times. In the age of wide-angle sky surveys, SNe like SN 2009ig that are nearby, bright, well positioned, and promptly discovered will still be rare. As shown with SN 2009ig, detailed studies of single events can provide significantly more information for testing systematic uncertainties related to SN Ia distance estimates and constraining progenitor and explosion models than large samples of more distant SNe.

The correspondence between vowel quality and verbal telicity in Yamato-Japanese
Creators: name: Fujimori, Atsushi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The main goal of this thesis is to report a sound meaning correspondence in Japanese verbs which have thus far not been recognized. In particular, I show that the non-low vowels mark verbal telicity, which defines an inherent endpoint of an eventuality. This correspondence holds in verbs of the native lexical stratum, Yamato-Japanese. I further show that the correspondence is synchronically part of the grammar, by showing that fluent speakers of Japanese are sensitive to the correspondence in nonce verbs. These facts cast doubt on the standard assumption that such verbs are morphologically simplex. Thus, another goal of this thesis is to develop a morpho-syntactic analysis for the correspondence, within the framework of Chomsky’s generative grammar. I argue that the correspondence associates with the syntactic category for telicity, inner Aspect. Language-internally, this argument implies that seemingly simplex verbs are the result of morpho-syntactic processing. Cross-linguistically, the argument contributes to the understanding that languages differ as to whether inner Aspect has an overt marker. Such differences strongly support the notion that inner Aspect is not only a category in lexical semantics but also a category in syntax.

description: Background:
                Audio-Computer Assisted Self- Interview (ACASI) is a method of data collection in which participants listen to pre-recorded questions through headphones and respond to questions by selecting their answers on a touch screen or keypad, and is seen as advantageous for gathering data on sensitive topics such as experiences of violence. This paper seeks to explore the feasibility and acceptability of using ACASI with adolescent girls and to document the implementation of such an approach in two humanitarian settings: conflict-affected communities in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and refugee camps along the Sudan-Ethiopia border.

                Methods:
                This paper evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of implementing ACASI, based on the experiences of using this tool in baseline data collections for COMPASS (Creating Opportunities through Mentorship, Parental involvement, and Safe Spaces) impact evaluations in DRC (N = 868) and Ethiopia (N = 919) among adolescent girls. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression models were generated to examine associations between understanding of the survey and selected demographics in both countries.

                Results:
                Overall, nearly 90% of girls in the DRC felt that the questions were easy to understand as compared to approximately 75% in Ethiopia. Level of education, but not age, was associated with understanding of the survey in both countries.

                Conclusions:
                Financial and time investment to ready ACASI was substantial in order to properly contextualize the approach to these specific humanitarian settings, including piloting of images, language assessments, and checking both written translations and corresponding verbal recordings. Despite challenges, we conclude that ACASI proved feasible and acceptable to participants and to data collection teams in two diverse humanitarian settings.

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Populations and Evolution (q-bio.PE)
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: We review the statistical properties of the genealogies of a few models of evolution. In the asexual case, selection leads to coalescence times which grow logarithmically with the size of the population in contrast with the linear growth of the neutral case. Moreover for a whole class of models, the statistics of the genealogies are those of the Bolthausen-Sznitman coalescent rather than the Kingman coalescent in the neutral case. For sexual reproduction, the time to reach the first common ancestors to the whole population and the time for all individuals to have all their ancestors in common are also logarithmic in the neutral case, as predicted by Chang []. We discuss how these times are modified in a simple way of introducing selection.

description: The main purpose of this paper is to introduce a new class of Hamiltonian scattering systems of the cone potential type that can be integrated via the asymptotic velocity. For a large subclass, the asymptotic data of the trajectories define a global canonical diffeomorphism $A$ that brings the system into the normal form $\dot P=0$, $\dot Q=P$. The integrability theory applies for example to a system of $n$ particles on the line interacting pairwise through rather general repulsive potentials. The inverse $r$-power potential for arbitrary $r>0$ is included, the reduction to normal form being carried out for the exponents $r>1$. In particular, the Calogero system is obtained for $r=2$. The treatment covers also the nonperiodic Toda lattice. The cone potentials that we allow can undergo small perturbations in any arbitrary compact set without losing the integrability and the reduction to normal form.

We take into account non-zero probabilities of elastic ("specular") and inelastic ("sticking") collision between the atom and the cell wall. We have developed a theoretical model based on averaging over the random Ramsey pulse sequences of times that atom spent in and out of the beam. It is shown that the shape of coherent population trapping resonance line depends on the probability of elastic collision.

description: We derive the spectral indices and their runnings of local form $f_{NL}$ and $g_{NL}$ from a DBI isocurvature field and we find that the indices are suppressed by the sound speed $c_s$. This effect can be interpreted by the Lorentz boost from the viewpoint in the frame where brane is moving.

description: We present a generalized transmission coefficient formula for the lead-junction-lead system, in which interaction between the leads has been taken into account. Based on it the Caroli formula could be easily recovered and a transmission coefficient formula for interface problem in the ballistic system can be obtained. The condition of validity for the formula is carefully explored. We mainly focus on heat transport. However, the corresponding electrical transport could be similarly dealt with. Also, an illustrative example is given to clarify the precise meaning of the quantities used in the formula, such as the concept of the reduced interacting matrix in different situations. In addition, an explicit transmission coefficient formula for a general one-dimensional interface setup is obtained based on the derived interface formula.

Diseases--Causes and theories of causation

description: Background:
                Environmental factors, including infectious agents, are speculated to play a role in the rising prevalence and the geographic distribution of celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder. In the USA and Sweden where the regional variation in the frequency of celiac disease has been studied, a similarity with the geographic distribution of Lyme disease, an emerging multisystemic infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi spirochetes, has been found, thus raising the possibility of a link. We aimed to determine if infection with Borrelia contributes to an increased risk of celiac disease.

                Methods:
                Biopsy reports from all of Sweden’s pathology departments were used to identify 15,769 individuals with celiac disease. Through linkage to the nationwide Patient Register, we compared the rate of earlier occurrence of Lyme disease in the patients with celiac disease to that in 78,331 matched controls. To further assess the temporal relationship between Borrelia infection and celiac disease, we also examined the risk of subsequent Lyme disease in patients with a diagnosis of celiac disease.

                Results:
                Twenty-five individuals (0.16%) with celiac disease had a prior diagnosis of Lyme disease, whereas 79 (0.5%) had a subsequent diagnosis of Lyme disease. A modest association between Lyme disease and celiac disease was seen both before (odds ratio, 1.61; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.06–2.47) and after the diagnosis of celiac disease (hazard ratio, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.40–2.35), with the risk of disease being highest in the first year of follow-up.

                Conclusions:
                Only a minor fraction of the celiac disease patient population had a prior diagnosis of Lyme disease. The similar association between Lyme disease and celiac disease both before and after the diagnosis of celiac disease is strongly suggestive of surveillance bias as a likely contributor. Taken together, the data indicate that Borrelia infection is not a substantive risk factor in the development of celiac disease.

description: Background:
                Autoimmune retinopathy (AIR) is a rare but potentially blinding condition that is often underdiagnosed. Common features in AIR presentation include rapidly progressive vision loss with abnormal electrophysiological responses of the retina associated with positive anti-retinal antibodies. AIR is also challenging to treat, and thus, the introduction of new potential therapeutic agents is welcomed. The goal of this communication is to assess the effects of rituximab infusions on electroretinogram (ERG) responses and visual function outcomes in patients with non-paraneoplastic autoimmune retinopathy (npAIR).

                Results:
                Following infusion(s), three out of five patients showed no evidence of disease progression or improved, while two patients continued to progress on ERG. One patient demonstrated improvement in visual acuity (2 lines) in both eyes. ERG responses provided objective monitoring of patients’ visual function and response to immunosuppression over time.

                Conclusions:
                These findings suggest that patients with npAIR unresponsive to other immunosuppression therapies may benefit from rituximab infusion, although stabilization rather than improvement was more frequently the outcome in our case series. Furthermore, regularly scheduled ERG follow-up examinations are recommended for monitoring patients’ progression during treatment.
Effect of dynamic and static friction on an asymmetric granular piston

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We investigate the influence of dry friction on an asymmetric, granular piston of mass $M$ composed of two materials undergoing inelastic collisions with bath particles of mass $m$. Numerical simulations of the Boltzmann-Lorentz equation reveal the existence of two scaling regimes depending on the strength of friction. In the large friction limit, we introduce an exact model giving the asymptotic behavior of the Boltzmann-Lorentz equation. For small friction and for large mass ratio $M/m$, we derive a Fokker-Planck equation for which the exact solution is also obtained. Static friction attenuates the motor effect and results in a discontinuous velocity distribution.

description: Background:
                Various barriers exist that preclude individuals from undergoing surgical care in low-income countries. Our study assessed the main barriers in Nepal, and identified individuals most at risk for not receiving required surgical care.

                Methods:
                A countrywide survey, using the Surgeons OverSeas Assessment of Surgical Need (SOSAS) survey tool, was carried out in 2014, surveying 2,695 individuals with a response rate of 97%. Our study used data from a subset, namely individuals who required surgical care in the last twelve months. Data were collected on individual characteristics, transport characteristics, and reasons why individuals did not undergo surgical care.

                Results:
                Of the 2,695 individuals surveyed, 207 individuals needed surgical care at least once in the previous 12 months. The main reasons for not undergoing surgery were affordability (n = 42), accessibility (n = 42) and fear/no trust (n = 34). A factor significantly associated with affordability was having a low education (OR = 5.77 of having no education vs. having secondary education). Living in a rural area (OR = 2.59) and a long travel time to a secondary and tertiary health facility (OR = 1.17 and 1.09, respectively) were some of the factors significantly associated with accessibility. Being a woman was significantly associated with fear/no trust (OR = 3.54).

                Conclusions:
                More than half of the individuals who needed surgical care did not undergo surgery due to affordability, accessibility, or fear/no trust. Providing subsidised transport, introducing mobile surgical clinics or organising awareness raising campaigns are measures that could be implemented to overcome these barriers to surgical care.
