description: Three types of supramolecular interactions are identified in the three crystallographic directions in crystals of 1,4-bis[(1-hexylurac-6-yl)ethynyl]benzene, a uracil-based molecule with a linear backbone. These three interactions, characterized by their strongest component, are: intermolecular double H-bonds along the molecular axis, London dispersion interaction of hexyl chains connecting these linear assemblies, and $π$--$π$ stacking of the aromatic rings perpendicular to the molecular planes. On heating, two transitions happen, disordering of hexyl chains at 473 K, followed by H-bond melting at 534 K. The nature of the bonds and transitions was established by matrix-isolation and temperature-dependent infrared spectroscopy and supported by theoretical computations.

The physical consequences of the models and their kinematic behaviors have also been scrutinized here in some detail.

description: Proceedings of the ESSLLI 2022 Student Session Ignorance and Temporal Prepositions: A new team-based approach Sabina Domínguez Parrado, Gianluca Michelli & Elynn Weijland In this paper, we provide a team-based semantics for temporal prepositions like by and from. Following Nouwen (2012), we distinguish between class A (before/after) and class B (by/from) temporal expressions. We discuss different linguistic data and the inferences that class A and class B temporal expressions generate. In particular, we claim that only class B expressions trigger ignorance effects. We then propose to analyse by and from as disjunctions (e.g. by t is equivalent to t OR before). Finally, we develop a novel state-based system – which builds on Aloni (2022) – that accounts for the behaviour of class B expressions. The novelty of this approach resides in the use of \textit{team-based} temporal modalities as an alternative semantics for temporal prepositions.
American Theopolitics and Israel-Palestine
Creators: Friedman, Daniel
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Despite being a country of limited security and trade concern to the US, the State of Israel occupies an inordinate amount of space in American foreign policy-making.  Only with reference to America’s Christian heritage can one understand Israel’s significance.  In addition to reviewing and updating traditional theological and cultural explanations for Christian activism, this dissertation explored two further elements: interest group organizational and strategic effects and intra-Protestant “theopolitical” contestation.   Three questions were considered: Why and how does Israel matter to American Protestant Christianity?  Why do some Christians support while others oppose Israel? And what accounts for the twenty-first century rise in Christian activism on behalf of Israel/Palestine?  In terms of methodology, the study analyzed primary and secondary sources covering historical perspectives on Israel-Palestine and engaged in extensive interviews amongst members of the two major pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian Christian interest groups – Christians United for Israel (CUFI) and the Presbyterian Church (USA).  While previous studies examined these groups separately, this study concluded that they are two sides of the same coin and have been in theological and political conversation with one another from their inception.  The key contribution of this dissertation is that pro-Israel activism is a tool to promote a conservative religious agenda in America.  Similarly, the rise in pro-Palestinian activism is due to a sociopolitical shift in America – namely, polarization resulting from the legalization of same-sex marriage and ordination, and the ensuing exodus of conservatives from the mainline Churches which tipped the political balance in favour of the progressive voices.  I conclude that the Jewish people – and likewise the Palestinian people – are not really the focus of Christian activism, but collateral damage in a larger battle between Protestants that has taken place over a period of many centuries.

description: In this paper, we examine a scenario in which late-time cosmic acceleration might arise due to the coupling between baryonic matter and dark matter without the presence of extra degrees of freedom. In this case, one can obtain late-time acceleration in Jordan frame and not in Einstein frame. We consider two different forms of parametrization of the coupling function, and put constraints on the model parameters by using an integrated datasets of Hubble parameter, Type Ia supernova and baryon acoustic oscillations. The models under consideration are consistent with the observations. In addition, we perform the statefinder and $Om$ diagnostics, and show that the models exhibit a distinctive behavior due to the phantom characteristic in future which is a generic feature of the underlying scenario.

On data recovery with restraints on the spectrum range and the process range

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Information Theory (cs.IT)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The paper considers recovery of signals from incomplete observations and a problem of determination of the allowed quantity of missed observations, i.e. the problem of determination of the size of the uniqueness sets for a given data recovery procedures. The paper suggests a way to bypass solution of this uniqueness problem via imposing restrictions investigates possibility of data recovery for classes of finite sequences under a special discretization of the process range. It is shown that these sequences can be dense in the space of all sequences and that the uniqueness sets for them can be singletons. Some robustness with respect to rounding of input data can be achieved via including additional observations.
Probing interactions of the BRCT protein family with damaged chromatin
Creators: Kulepa, Ayodeji N
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

The DNA damage response (DDR) is critical for maintaining genomic integrity and prevention of genotoxic consequences leading to carcinogenesis. The DDR signaling cascade results either in the activation of the repair pathway, or initiation of apoptosis if the repair is not possible. Many hereditary and sporadic forms of human cancers have been linked to mutations in key DDR genes such as tumor protein p53, Ataxia telangiectasia-mutated kinase (ATM) and Breast cancer1 (BRCA1). In the early stages of DDR, the histone variant H2AX is phosphorylated at serine 139 to form γH2AX. This modification leads to the recruitment of Mediator of DNA damage checkpoint protein 1 (MDC1) which specifically interacts with the pSxxY-COOH motif of γH2AX through its BRCT domain. The structural dynamics underlying the interaction of MDC1 with the chromatin remains to be deciphered. We have recombinantly expressed and purified histone octamers with H2AX and aimed to phosphorylate the C-terminal tail. This will help provide insights into the MDC1-nucleosome interaction.

    Another BRCT domain protein, BRCA1 is a widely known tumor suppressor protein involved in the homologous recombination (HR) pathway for repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSB). Mutations in the phosphopeptide binding domain of BRCA1 are associated with increased breast cancer risks and lead to defects in the DDR, sensitizing cells to radiation and many DNA-targeting cancer therapies. The finding that BRCA1 mutations impact HR and sensitize cells to the single strand break repair enzyme poly (ADP) ribose polymerase (PARP) has led to promising approaches to develop BRCA1 BRCT inhibitor for combinatorial therapy with PARP inhibitors. This approach can be used to target cancerous cells with the wild-type BRCA1 and prevent HR repair of DNA lesions from radio and chemotherapy treatments.  Our collaborators recently developed a potential BRCA1 BRCT inhibitor that might lead to new avenues for anticancer therapy development. The inhibitor is a peptide which binds specifically to the BRCA1 BRCT domain on the same surface as the phosphorylated peptides.  We tested the ability of this inhibitor to block binding of BRCA1 BRCT to a model binding peptide containing the pSer-x-x-Phe motif. Specificity is also tested by the ability of this inhibitor to block interactions between a related BRCT protein MDC1 and its peptide target pSer-x-x-Tyr-COO-. We performed in vivo experiments to determine the permeability of this inhibitor in U2OS cells. The ability of the inhibitor to disrupt BRCA1 interaction with the protein Abraxas was visualized. The peptide was expressed in U2OS cells, and its kinetics visualized by Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP). Overall, we prove the specificity of our inhibitor to BRCA1 BRCT and confirm its permeability in U2OS cells.
Binding Topologies of Amino Acid Binary Systems by Infrared Multiphoton Dissociation (IRMPD) Spectroscopy
Creators: Wang, Haolu
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Studies of amino acids are essential because they are one of the building blocks of larger biomolecules, and it is crucial for us to understand how they interact with each other to fulfill all these various biological functions in our daily life. One interesting and noticeable fact from previous studies is that the amino acids found in proteins almost always possess only the left-handed configuration. When an enantiomer of a chiral molecule shows a stronger interaction with one enantiomer of another chiral molecule than with its mirror image, chirality recognition is observed.

In the past few decades, gas phase rotational and vibrational spectroscopies have been used to investigate non-covalent interactions in chiral molecular aggregates and in particular homochiral and heterochiral molecular pairs. Among them, infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy is a powerful spectroscopic technique for its high detection sensitivity and its capability to access larger chiral molecular systems without the complications in solution, while providing structural information. The following chapters include detailed work using IRMPD spectroscopy to determine the conformational and energetic relationship of the proton bound homochiral and heterochiral serine-asparagine and valine-asparagine dimers, as well as whether chirality recognition could be observed between the binary systems of interest. How the non-covalent inter/intra-molecular interactions affect the preferred binary structures, in particular the role of a polar or a non-polar sidechain, is also investigated.

description: We used scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) to characterize nickel nanoclusters grown inside single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT). The nanotubes were filled with Ni(II) acetylacetonate and the molecules were transformed into nickel clusters via annealing. The metal clusters give high local contrast enhancement in near-field phase maps caused by the excitation of free charge carriers. The near-field contrast was simulated using the finite dipole model, approximating the clusters with elliptical nanoparticles. Compared to magnetic force microscopy, s-SNOM appears much more sensitive to localize metal clusters inside carbon nanotubes. We estimate the detection threshold to be ~600 Ni atoms.

On a gap between rational annuitization price for producer and price for customer

description: The paper studies pricing of insurance products focusing on the pricing of annuities under uncertainty. This pricing problem is crucial for financial decision making and was studied intensively, however, many open questions still remain. In particular, there is a so-called "annuity puzzle" related to certain inconsistency of existing financial theory with the empirical observations for the annuities market. The paper suggests a pricing method based on the risk minimization such that both producer and customer seek to minimize the mean square hedging error accepted as a measure of risk. This leads to two different versions of the pricing problem: the selection of the annuity price given the rate of regular payments, and the selection of the rate of payments given the annuity price. It appears that solutions of these two problems are different. This can contribute to explanation for the "annuity puzzle".

description: Predicting the effects of seasonality and climate change on the emergence and spread of infectious disease remains difficult, in part because of poorly understood connections between warming and the mechanisms driving disease. Trait-based mechanistic models combined with thermal performance curves arising from the metabolic theory of ecology (MTE) have been highlighted as a promising approach going forward; however, this framework has not been tested under controlled experimental conditions that isolate the role of gradual temporal warming on disease dynamics and emergence. Here, we provide experimental evidence that a slowly warming host–parasite system can be pushed through a critical transition into an epidemic state. We then show that a trait-based mechanistic model with MTE functional forms can predict the critical temperature for disease emergence, subsequent disease dynamics through time and final infection prevalence in an experimentally warmed system of Daphnia and a microsporidian parasite. Our results serve as a proof of principle that trait-based mechanistic models using MTE subfunctions can predict warming-induced disease emergence in data-rich systems—a critical step towards generalizing the approach to other systems.

description: Tuberculous meningitis (TBM) is the most severe and disabling form of tuberculosis (TB), with at least 100,000 cases per year and a mortality rate of up to 50% in individuals co-infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). To evaluate the efficacy and safety of an intensified anti-tubercular regimen and an anti-inflammatory treatment, the INTENSE-TBM project includes a phase III randomised clinical trial (TBM-RCT) in four countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Within this framework, we designed a comprehensive capacity-building work package ensuring all centres had, or would acquire, the ability to conduct the TBM-RCT and developing a network of skilled researchers, clinical centres and microbiology laboratories. Here, we describe these activities, identify strengths/challenges and share tools adaptable to other projects, particularly in low- and lower-middle income countries with heterogeneous settings and during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Despite major challenges, TBM-RCT initiation was achieved in all sites, promoting enhanced local healthcare systems and encouraging further clinical research in SSA. In terms of certified trainings, the achievement levels were 95% (124/131) for good clinical practice, 91% (39/43) for good clinical laboratory practice and 91% (48/53) for infection prevention and control. Platform-based research, developed as part of capacity-building activities for specific projects, may be a valuable tool in fighting future infectious diseases and in developing high-level research in Africa.

Spatiotemporal variability of the fraction of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (fPAR) in a mixed coniferous forest using Wireless sensor networks
Creators: Ke, Yuhui
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Contemporary climate change has become rapid, and its impacts affect forest growth and productivity directly and indirectly through changes in temperature, precipitation, carbon dioxide, and other factors. Forest ecosystem plays an essential role in carbon exchange between the atmosphere and terrestrial. Green plants absorb carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis, whereas degradation and deforestation release carbon. Given appropriate and efficient management, forest can be a beneficial asset in climate mitigation. The fraction of photosynthetically active radiation (fPAR) is a fundamental term to quantifying light used by plants in photosynthesis. This term has been mainly derived from satellite data, but some inherent issues of satellite data limit the quality of long-term fPAR estimation. Advances in technology and the emergence of wireless sensor networks have allowed for long-term, continuous, high spatial and temporal fPAR measurements. In Chapter 1, the general methods of estimating fPAR are reviewed, and the importance of accurate fPAR estimation and factors that can cause measurement bias are explored. Needs for long-term fPAR study and its role in forest dynamics are proposed, and the research questions and hypotheses of this thesis are then posed.

In Chapter 2, forest structure metrics, such as leaf area index (LAI), were extracted from the 3D point cloud developed by terrestrial laser scanning (TLS). In situ wireless sensor networks (WSNs) were used to collect continuous photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) in the mixed coniferous Graswang forest site and were calculated into fPAR. The spatial distribution of fPAR from 2016 to 2019 was compared and analyzed using Kriging interpolation to determine the spatiotemporal variation of fPAR in the mixed wood forest. Chi-square statistical test was performed to assess the significance of fPAR variation. To better understand the vertical forest structure of the study site, metrics such as LAI, centroid (Cx, Cy), and radius of gyration (RG) were interpolated to explore and understand the spatial forest structure variation. Forest inventory included tree species, diameter breast height (DBH), and mortality was documented. To assess the influence factors on fPAR, multiple correlation analyses was used between LAI, tree species type, mortality and fPAR.

The third chapter of this thesis examined the significance of the results concluded in Chapter 2 and suggested the study's limitation. Potential future explorations are proposed, including the advance of wireless sensor networks outdoor performance and factors, such as mortality and drought, influence on the effect of LAI on fPAR in a coniferous and deciduous mixed forest.

ANÁLISIS DE VARIABLES DE DISEÑO EN  CÉLULAS TERMOFOTOVOLTAICAS PARA  BATERÍAS DE CALOR LATENTE
Creators: name: Molinero Sanz, Rafael
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: In this work, different design variables are analyzed by means of simulations to evaluate their final impact on the efficiency of a thermophotovoltaic cell. Starting from a conceptual predesign and with some variables fixed by technological limits, the simulations will focus on the sensitivity with respect to critical aspects that differentiate thermophotovoltaics from common photovoltaics, such as the reflection of sub-bandgap radiation back to the emitter, the handling of high current densities and the proximity to a very hot object with the possible harmful effects that an increase in the operating temperature of the cell would entail. These cells to be developed are framed in the design of a new latent heat storage technology with silicon as phase change material. During the discharge phase the silicon goes from solid to liquid state and the energy is extracted by a thermophotovoltaic module. The phase change of silicon occurs at 1410 °C, so the thermophotovoltaic cells are optimized for the radiation spectrum of a black body at that temperature.

description: Following the ideas of Ginzburg, for a subgroup $K$ of a connected reductive $\mathbb{R}$-group $G$ we introduce the notion of $K$-admissible $D$-modules on a homogeneous $G$-variety $Z$. We show that $K$-admissible $D$-modules are regular holonomic when $K$ and $Z$ are absolutely spherical. This framework includes: (i) the relative characters attached to two spherical subgroups $H_1$ and $H_2$, provided that the twisting character $χ_i$ factors through the maximal reductive quotient of $H_i$, for $i = 1, 2$; (ii) localization on $Z$ of Harish-Chandra modules; (iii) the generalized matrix coefficients when $K(\mathbb{R})$ is maximal compact. This complements the holonomicity proven by Aizenbud--Gourevitch--Minchenko. The use of regularity is illustrated by a crude estimate on the growth of $K$-admissible distributions which based on tools from subanalytic geometry.

description: Recent interest in the external validity of prediction models (i.e., the problem of different train and test distributions, known as dataset shift) has produced many methods for finding predictive distributions that are invariant to dataset shifts and can be used for prediction in new, unseen environments. However, these methods consider different types of shifts and have been developed under disparate frameworks, making it difficult to theoretically analyze how solutions differ with respect to stability and accuracy. Taking a causal graphical view, we use a flexible graphical representation to express various types of dataset shifts. Given a known graph of the data generating process, we show that all invariant distributions correspond to a causal hierarchy of graphical operators which disable the edges in the graph that are responsible for the shifts. The hierarchy provides a common theoretical underpinning for understanding when and how stability to shifts can be achieved, and in what ways stable distributions can differ. We use it to establish conditions for minimax optimal performance across environments, and derive new algorithms that find optimal stable distributions. Using this new perspective, we empirically demonstrate that that there is a tradeoff between minimax and average performance.

GS&E journal > Mechanical analysis and characterization of IGUs with different silicone sealed spacer connections - Part 2: modelling
Creators: name: Bedon, Chiara

Publisher: name: Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings

description: Insulated Glass Units (IGUs) typically consist of two glass layers, either monolithic and/or laminated sections, that mechanically interact via an hermetically-sealed air (or gas) cavity, and a series of linear spacer connections along their edges. In this paper, based on the experimental tests for small-scale IGU joints under pure shear and IGU prototypes in bending discussed in “Part I”, a special care is spent for the Finite Element (FE) numerical characterization and analysis of these composite systems, with a focus on the actual mechanical properties and load-bearing mechanism for the involved components. Major advantage is taken from the full 3D solid geometrical description of the connection components and the gas cavity infill. The actual role of both primary and secondary sealant layers is first assessed. Further support is derived from analytical calculations for the connection efficiency assessment, based on the adaptation of simplified formulations of literature. Finally, a calculation example is proposed to assess the magnitude of load sharing phenomena, based on FE numerical and analytical calculations for selected configurations.

description: In this paper, we present Ara, a 64-bit vector processor based on the version 0.5 draft of RISC-V's vector extension, implemented in GlobalFoundries 22FDX FD-SOI technology. Ara's microarchitecture is scalable, as it is composed of a set of identical lanes, each containing part of the processor's vector register file and functional units. It achieves up to 97% FPU utilization when running a 256 x 256 double precision matrix multiplication on sixteen lanes. Ara runs at more than 1 GHz in the typical corner (TT/0.80V/25 oC) achieving a performance up to 33 DP-GFLOPS. In terms of energy efficiency, Ara achieves up to 41 DP-GFLOPS/W under the same conditions, which is slightly superior to similar vector processors found in literature. An analysis on several vectorizable linear algebra computation kernels for a range of different matrix and vector sizes gives insight into performance limitations and bottlenecks for vector processors and outlines directions to maintain high energy efficiency even for small matrix sizes where the vector architecture achieves suboptimal utilization of the available FPUs.

High-dimensional robust approximated M-estimators for mean regression with asymmetric data
Creators: name: Luo, Bin
name: Gao, Xiaoli
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)

description: Asymmetry along with heteroscedasticity or contamination often occurs with the growth of data dimensionality. In ultra-high dimensional data analysis, such irregular settings are usually overlooked for both theoretical and computational convenience. In this paper, we establish a framework for estimation in high-dimensional regression models using Penalized Robust Approximated quadratic M-estimators (PRAM). This framework allows general settings such as random errors lack of symmetry and homogeneity, or the covariates are not sub-Gaussian. To reduce the possible bias caused by the data's irregularity in mean regression, PRAM adopts a loss function with a flexible robustness parameter growing with the sample size. Theoretically, we first show that, in the ultra-high dimension setting, PRAM estimators have local estimation consistency at the minimax rate enjoyed by the LS-Lasso. Then we show that PRAM with an appropriate non-convex penalty in fact agrees with the local oracle solution, and thus obtain its oracle property. Computationally, we demonstrate the performances of six PRAM estimators using three types of loss functions for approximation (Huber, Tukey's biweight and Cauchy loss) combined with two types of penalty functions (Lasso and MCP). Our simulation studies and real data analysis demonstrate satisfactory finite sample performances of the PRAM estimator under general irregular settings.

description: The five-star luxury Hotel Ritz in Madrid is currently under refurbishment. The works include the construction of a new large skylight above the main hall inspired on the original design. This paper focus on the design and construction of this skylight which consist of 2 different parts, the Hall Bajo with a vault shape, and the Hall Alto which is a trapezoidal dome crowned by a pyramid roof. The structure consists in slender steel welded T profiles and small rectangular plates which connects the main beams. The connections between the structural members are welded in order to obtain a rigid connection. The perimeter consists in a welded RHS beam which creates a stiff tension ring which is completed by a visible cable. The pyramid roof performs as a compression ring for the in-plane loads and as a Vierendeel beam for the vertical loads. The cladding is composed of flat and cylindrical insulating glass panes. A geometric study is carried out in order to define the cylindrical surface that better fits a spherical frame. Some panes are structural, providing stability to the slender profiles. To guarantee the tight geometric tolerances required the structure is divided into modules, which also facilitates the transport.

GS&E journal > Conceptual design and FEM structural response of a suspended glass sphere made of reinforced curved polygonal panels
Creators: name: Froli, Maurizio
name: Laccone, Francesco
Publisher: name: Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings
Year: 2020

description: The paper introduces a novel concept for structural glass shells that is based on the mechanical coupling of double curved heat-bent glass panels and a wire frame mesh, which constitutes a grid of unbonded edge-reinforcement. Additionally, this grid has the purpose of providing redundancy. The panels have load-bearing function, they are clamped at the vertices and dry-assembled. The main novelty lies in the use of polygonal curved panels with a nodal force transfer mechanism. This concept has been validated on an illustrative design case of a 6 m-diameter suspended glass sphere, in which regular pentagonal and hexagonal spherical panels are employed. The good strength and stiffness achieved for this structure is demonstrated by means of local and global FE models. Another fundamental feature of the concept is that the reinforcement grid provides residual strength in the extreme scenarios in which all panels are completely failed. A quantitative measure of redundancy is obtained by comparing this scenario with the ULS.

Problématique de la mobilisation des ressources fiscales locales dans le processus de la décentralisation au Burkina Faso
Creators: name: Dirissa SIBIRI
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: La décentralisation consacre le droit des collectivités territoriales à s’administrer librement et à gérer des affaires propres en vue de promouvoir le développement à la base et de renforcer la gouvernance locale. Cette gouvernance locale intègre principalement la gestion financière mais également la gestion foncière qui constitue de nos jours une problématique nationale. La fiscalité locale s'entend comme l'ensemble des impôts et taxes perçus au profit du budget des collectivités territoriales. Elle se décompose en impôts perçus par les services déconcentrés de l'Etat au profit des budgets des collectivités territoriales et en ressources collectées par les services techniques des collectivités territoriales elles-mêmes. A cet effet, la décentralisation est accompagnée d’une déconcentration des services de l’Etat dans le but de renforcer les capacités d’action des collectivités territoriales.
