description: This doctoral dissertation explores the transcultural use of the material of blue paper for figure studies and figural compositions by artists working in sixteenth-century Venice and seventeenth-century Amsterdam. The research focuses on artists’ use of blue paper made with blue fibres, or that which is coloured blue during its production, rather than neutral papers that are prepared with a coloured wash. Blue paper provided a readily available mid-tone and its texture allowed friable drawing implements like chalk and charcoal to be absorbed into the paper at varying degrees. This interplay contributed to the achievement of rilievo, or the ability to model three-dimensional forms in space on a flat surface. Understanding the broader artistic, cultural, and theoretical frameworks that led to the employment of blue paper in these two centres of commercial and artistic exchange is central to our understanding of the material’s role in early modern artistic practice, as well as to our interpretations of the drawings themselves. Through object-based, technical, and archival research, as well as analyses of contemporary texts on art, this research is inherently interdisciplinary in examining the significance of the role of blue paper in Italian and Dutch artistic practice and stylistic development.

description: Among vaccines aimed at treating substance use disorders, those targeting opioids present several unique medication development challenges. 1) Opioid overdose is a common complication of abuse, so it is desirable for an opioid vaccine to block the toxic as well as the addictive effects of opioids. 2) It is important that an opioid vaccine not interfere with the action of opioid antagonists used to reverse opioid overdose or treat addiction. 3) Some opioids are immunosuppressive and chronic ongoing opioid use could interfere with vaccine immunogenicity. 4) Although antibody-bound oxycodone is unable to enter the brain because of its size, it might still be able to activate peripheral opioid receptors. To assess vaccine impact on opioid toxicity, rats vaccinated with oxycodone conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin subunit dimer (OXY-dKLH) adsorbed to alum or controls vaccinated with dKLH were compared with regard to oxycodone-induced hotplate analgesia and oxycodone-induced respiratory depression and bradycardia. Vaccination shifted the dose-response curves to the right, representing protection, for each of these endpoints. Naloxone was equally effective in both OXY-dKLH and control groups, providing complete and rapid reversal of respiratory depression. The administration of a long-acting naltrexone formulation during vaccination did not impair vaccine immunogenicity in mice. Similarly, serum anti-oxycodone antibody titers were not altered by continuous morphine infusion during vaccination compared to opioid-naïve controls. Competitive ELISA assay showed negligible or low affinity of immune antiserum for endogenous opioids or opioid antagonists. In vitro receptor binding assays showed that antibody-bound oxycodone does not activate mu opioid receptors. These data support further study of OXY-dKLH as a potential treatment for oxycodone abuse and suggest that vaccination might also reduce the severity of oxycodone overdose.

description: The recently proposed fermion bag approach is a powerful technique to solve some four-fermion lattice field theories. Due to the existence of a duality between strong and weak couplings, the approach leads to efficient Monte Carlo algorithms in both these limits. The new method allows us for the first time to accurately compute quantities close to the quantum critical point in the three dimensional lattice Thirring model with massless fermions on large lattices. The critical exponents at the quantum critical point are found to be $ν=0.85(1)$, $η= 0.65(1)$ and $η_ψ= 0.37(1)$.

Prediction of miscarriage in women with threatened miscarriage using a combination of biochemical and ultrasound scan markers - A prospective cohort study
Creators: name: Pillai, Rekha N.

description: Background: Studies have been previously conducted to investigate biomarkers and ultrasound markers to predict miscarriage in women with threatened miscarriage with varying results. This project reviewed the existing literature and conducted a prospective study to investigate the role of various markers to predict miscarriage in women with threatened miscarriage and develop a prediction model.Methodology: Three systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to investigate the role of biomarkers and ultrasound markers to predict miscarriage in women with threatened miscarriage and to investigate the perinatal outcomes in them. Subsequently, a prospective cohort study was conducted (N=296) including women presenting with bleeding and/or pain and had a confirmed fetal heartbeat from 6+0 to 11+6 weeks of gestation. An extensive exclusion criterion was used.Results: Comparison of the miscarried women and those who continued pregnancy had shown that, the two groups of women were different in their bleeding score (P-value 0.03), hCG (P-value 0.04), progesterone (P-value 0.03), inhibin A (P-value 0.02), MGSD (P-value 0.04), CRL (P-value 0.03) and FHR (P-value 0.01) . A regression model composed of the variables of age, hCG, inhibin and FHR gave the best sensitivity (57%) and specificity (96%) to predict miscarriage (P-value 0.0003); diagnostic odds ratio (95% CI) of 1.01 (1.01 – 1.02). The study has demonstrated an increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes including preterm labour, IUGR, LBW and neonatal asphyxia in women experiencing threatened miscarriage in the early pregnancy. Conclusions: A prediction model was developed to predict miscarriage in threatened miscarriage population using makers including age, hCG, inhibin and FHR. Future studies focussing on developing markers of adverse perinatal outcomes in women experiencing bleeding in early pregnancy will help to plan the antenatal care of high-risk women with bleeding in early pregnancy.

Medical care--Utilization
Health insurance
Medically uninsured persons--U.S. states

description: Objective
During the Great Recession in America, African-Americans opted to forgo healthcare more than other racial/ethnic groups. It is not understood whether disparities in forgone care returned to pre-recession levels. Understanding healthcare utilization patterns is important for informing subsequent efforts to decrease healthcare disparities. Therefore, we examined changes in racial disparities in forgone care before, during, and after the Great Recession.

Design
Data were pooled from the 2006–2013 National Health Interview Survey. Forgone medical, mental, and prescription care due to affordability were assessed among African-Americans and Whites. Time periods were classified as: pre-recession (May 2006-November 2007), early recession (December 2007-November 2008), late recession (December 2008-May 2010) and post-recession (June 2010-December 2013). Multivariable logistic regressions of race, interacted with time periods, were used to identify disparities in forgone care controlling for other demographics, health insurance coverage, and having a usual place for medical care across time periods. Adjusted Wald tests were performed to identify significant changes in disparities across time periods.

Results
The sample consisted of 110,746 adults. African-Americans were more likely to forgo medical care during the post- recession compared to Whites (OR = 1.16, CI = 1.06, 1.26); changes in foregone medical care disparities were significant in that they increased in the post-recession period compared to the pre-recession (OR = 1.17, CI = 1.08, 1.28 and OR = 0.89, CI = 0.77, 1.04, respectively, adjusted Wald Test p-value < 0.01). No changes in disparities were seen in prescription and mental forgone care.

Conclusion
A persistent increase in forgone medical care disparities existed among African-Americans compared to Whites post-Great Recession and may be a result of outstanding issues related to healthcare access, cost, and quality. While health insurance is an important component of access to care, it alone should not be expected to remove these disparities due to other financial constraints. Additional strategies are necessary to close remaining gaps in care widened by the Great Recession.
Synthesis and Analysis of Novel Compliant Remote Center Motion Mechanisms

description: Systems with compliant manipulation of motion offer inherent advantages over their rigid counterparts, for example, more accuracy, no friction, no wear and tear, flexibility, enhanced life, light weight, low energy consumption. Hence compliant mechanisms are being increasingly preferred over rigid mechanisms, especially in high-precision, high-speed applications. This thesis presents synthesis, parametric analysis with semi-empirical modeling, and experimental validation of novel compliant remote center motion mechanisms (CRCMMs) with high cross-axes stiffnesses. Literature backs up ample use of rigid links in the synthesis of RCM mechanisms in various applications. However, the mechanisms proposed in this thesis are spatial, compliant-link remote center motion (RCM) mechanisms (Patent pending). Synthesis of the proposed compliant mechanisms poses the main challenge of achieving precise RCM with prominent cross axes stiffnesses. The proposed design is conceived with angularly assembled compliant links (with fixed -fixed boundary) which upon application of force undergo simultaneous twisting and bending resulting in the proposed RCM. Higher width as compared to the thickness along with angular arrangements gives the desired cross-axis stiffness. Extensive, non-linear FE analysis establishes the accuracy of the RCM, high cross-axis stiffnesses, and the accuracy of the proposed semi-empirical model based on parametric analysis. Further, one of the proposed mechanisms is fabricated and preliminary experiments validate accuracy in an example case. The proposed mechanisms have several potential applications including high-precision minimally invasive surgical instrument, hard disc arm motion, clutch system in an automobile and so on. Towards development of one of the applications in the domain of high-precision minimally invasive surgery, the thesis further proposes tremor suppressing control schemes along with their experimental validation using another mathematically equivalent (up to first order) compliant mechanism. Tremors in hands of surgeon could be detrimental to high-precision surgical procedures (ex. Retinal surgery). Moreover, human hand stability, a skill to be acquired by extensive training, decays with age and limits the number of surgeons qualified to perform microsurgery. Suppression of tremors is, therefore, a major challenge. Study in this thesis presents a possible use of compliant system for addressing the challenge of tremor. Three different control schemes, including feedback from low pass filtering and an adaptive filtering are proposed, implemented and compared. The adaptive control scheme shows promising results in reducing tremors at the surgeon’s tool tip by ~96%, when holding at a point and by ~68% while carrying out a voluntary motion. The results show a positive scope for complaint robotic systems based on CRCMMs presented before, towards microsurgeries with suppression of tremors.

description: The half-maximal supergravity theories in three dimensions, which have local $SO(8)\xz SO(n)$ and rigid SO(8,n) symmetries, are discussed in a superspace setting starting from the superconformal theory. The on-shell theory is obtained by imposing further constraints; it is essentially a non-linear sigma model that induces a Poincaré supergeometry. The deformations of the geometry due to gauging are briefly discussed. The possible $p$-form field strengths are studied using supersymmetry and SO(8,n) symmetry. The set of such forms obeying consistent Bianchi identities constitutes a Lie super co-algebra while the demand that these identities admit solutions places a further constraint on the possible representations of SO(8,n) that the forms transform under which can be easily understood using superspace cohomology. The dual Lie superalgebra can then be identified as the positive sector of a Borcherds superalgebra that extends the Lie algebra of the duality group. In addition to the known $p=2,3,4$ forms, which we construct explicitly, there are five-forms that can be non-zero in supergravity, while all forms with $p>5$ vanish. It is shown that some six-forms can have non-trivial contributions at order $\a'$.

description: In whites, the minor G allele of the atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) genetic variant rs5068 is associated with higher circulating levels of ANP and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), lower risk of hypertension, higher high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol plasma levels, and lower prevalence of obesity and metabolic syndrome. The observed phenotype is consistent with the blood pressure lowering and metabolic properties of ANP and BNP. The cardiovascular and metabolic phenotype associated with rs5068 genotypes in African Americans is undefined. We genotyped 1631 African Americans in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) for rs5068 and investigated their phenotype. Genotype frequencies of rs5068 were 93.2% AA (n = 1520), 6.7% AG (n = 110) and 0.1% GG (n = 1). All subsequent analyses are AG + GG versus AA genotype. Using a Bonferroni corrected level of significance of 0.005, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (23% vs 38%, age-sex-adjusted p = 0.002) and triglycerides plasma values (76 vs 90 mg/dl, age-sex-BMI adjusted p = 0.004) were both significantly lower in the AG+GG genotypes. In the AG+GG genotypes, the prevalence of diabetes (8% vs 18%, age-sex-BMI-adjusted p = 0.02) and insulin plasma levels tended to be lower (4.8 vs 5.7 μU/ml, age-sex-BMI adjusted p = 0.04) whereas HDL-cholesterol levels tended to be higher (55 vs 50 mg/dl, age-sex-BMI-adjusted p = 0.04). No association was found with hypertension. The association between the rs5068 G allele and a favorable metabolic phenotype is now shown in African Americans. The rs5068 AG+GG genotypes are associated with lower prevalence of metabolic syndrome and lower triglycerides values.

description: The paper consists of the two independent papers:(Part V) We see that exact equations of quantum and classical mechanics describe ideal dynamics which is reversible and leads to Poincare's returns. Real equations of physics describing observable dynamics, for example, hydrodynamic equations of viscous fluid, are irreversible and exclude Poincare's returns to the initial state. Besides, these equations describe systems in terms of macroparameters or phase distribution functions of microparameters. For many systems introduction of macroparameters that allow exhaustive describing of dynamics of the system is impossible. Their dynamics becomes unpredictable in principle, sometimes even unpredictable by the probabilistic way. We will refer to dynamics describing such system as unpredictable dynamics. Dynamics of unpredictable systems is not described and not predicted by scientific methods. Thus, the science itself puts boundaries for its applicability. But such systems can intuitively "understand itself" and "predict" the behavior "of its own" or even "communicate with each other" at intuitive level. (Part VI) Perspective of the future of artificial intellect (AI) is considered. It is shown that AI development in the future will be closer rather to art than to science. Complex dissipative systems whose behavior cannot be understood completely in principle will be the basis of AI. Nevertheless, it will not be a barrier for their practical use.

description: We evaluate two-body decay modes of charginos in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with complex parameters (cMSSM). Assuming heavy scalar quarks we take into account all decay channels involving charginos, neutralinos, (scalar) leptons, Higgs bosons and Standard Model gauge bosons. The evaluation of the decay widths is based on a full one-loop calculation including hard and soft QED radiation. Special attention is paid to decays involving the Lightest Supersymmetric Particle (LSP), i.e. the lightest neutralino, or a neutral or charged Higgs boson. The higher-order corrections of the chargino decay widths involving the LSP can easily reach a level of about \pm 10%, while the corrections to the decays to Higgs bosons are slightly smaller, translating into corrections of similar size in the respective branching ratios. These corrections are important for the correct interpretation of LSP and Higgs production at the LHC and at a future linear e+e- collider. The results will be implemented into the Fortran code FeynHiggs.

description: Understanding chronic ionizing radiation (CIR) effects is of utmost importance to protecting human health and the environment. Diverse bacteria and fungi inhabiting extremely radioactive waste and disaster sites (e.g. Hanford, Chernobyl, Fukushima) represent new targets of CIR research. We show that many microorganisms can grow under intense gamma-CIR dose rates of 13–126 Gy/h, with fungi identified as a particularly CIR-resistant group of eukaryotes: among 145 phylogenetically diverse strains tested, 78 grew under 36 Gy/h. Importantly, we demonstrate that CIR resistance can depend on cell concentration and that certain resistant microbial cells protect their neighbors (not only conspecifics, but even radiosensitive species from a different phylum), from high-level CIR. We apply a mechanistically-motivated mathematical model of CIR effects, based on accumulation/removal kinetics of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidants, in bacteria (3 Escherichia coli strains and Deinococcus radiodurans) and in fungi (Candida parapsilosis, Kazachstania exigua, Pichia kudriavzevii, Rhodotorula lysinophila, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Trichosporon mucoides). We also show that correlations between responses to CIR and acute ionizing radiation (AIR) among studied microorganisms are weak. For example, in D. radiodurans, the best molecular correlate for CIR resistance is the antioxidant enzyme catalase, which is dispensable for AIR resistance; and numerous CIR-resistant fungi are not AIR-resistant. Our experimental findings and quantitative modeling thus demonstrate the importance of investigating CIR responses directly, rather than extrapolating from AIR. Protection of radiosensitive cell-types by radioresistant ones under high-level CIR is a potentially important new tool for bioremediation of radioactive sites and development of CIR-resistant microbiota as radioprotectors.

In the regime of strong localization, we derive an succinct analytical formula based on the WKB semi-classical approach. Two different examples of asymmetric potentials are discussed: when the two localized levels are degenerate or not. For the first case, we also discuss a time-dependent problem showing quantum Zeno effect.

Für die Erstellung des Untersuchungsmaterials wurden mithilfe des automatischen Spracherkennungsmodell whisper Videos erfolgreicher sprachwissenschaftlicher Content-Creator:innen transkribiert. Anschließend wurden die Transkripte für die korpusbasierte Untersuchung mit eigenen Skripten weiterverarbeitet und vorbereitet. Dabei zeigen sich verschiedene Möglichkeiten, wie Creator:innen Rezipient:innen ansprechen.

description: Usually the average pottery assemblages from waste layers or cess pits in monasteries do not seem to have typical features to identify their origin. The research of three monastic sites in Flanders resulted in a large datset of late and post-medieval ceramics. It confirms the general picture of the use of pottery in abbeys, but it also revealed some special features, such as specific wearing marks on jugs and scratch marks, which give a link between the pottery and their monastic environment. The meaning of the specific presence of late-medieval Mediterranean tin-glazed wares in monastic sites from inland Flanders is another subject that requires special attention in this context.
Activity-mediated secretion of progranulin-containing granules
Creators: name: Petoukhov, Eugenia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Progranulin (PGRN) is a multi-functional, secreted growth factor expressed in a variety of tissues throughout the body. In the central nervous system (CNS), PGRN is expressed in microglia as well as in a number of neuronal populations and has been shown to promote neuronal survival, enhance neurite outgrowth and regulate inflammation and development. Mutations in the progranulin (GRN) gene have been identified as a major cause of autosomal dominant frontotemporal dementia (FTD) with tau-negative inclusions. The majority of GRN mutations result in the production of a null allele and reduced PGRN expression. However, the normal functions of PGRN in the CNS remain poorly understood. Our study examines the secretion characteristics of PGRN in neurons. To study the secretion of PGRN from axons and dendrites, we have fused a pH-sensitive optical reporter of exocytosis, superecliptic pHluorin, to PGRN (PGRN-SEP). We demonstrate that activity enhances the secretion of PGRN from axons and dendrites with different temporal profiles of secretion. We show, using calcium blockers and calcium-free media, that activity-mediated secretion of PGRN requires Ca²⁺ entry via voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC). We postulate that activity-dependent secretion of PGRN may enhance the formation and maturation of synapses as treatment of hippocampal neurons with recombinant PGRN results in an increase in synapse density.

description: Among the items recently donated to Brixham Heritage Museum is an unglazed earthenware bottle with moulded decoration. According to the donor, Mr B.T. Stockton (Catear Fishing Co Ltd, Brixham), this item had been recovered ten years ago in the trawl net of Brixham trawler Catear whilst fishing 'fifteen miles off Start Point, slightly to the east'. At the initial examination of the item both of the authors recognised its antiquity and considered the decorative style was non-European, probably Near Eastern (Islamic). Photographs and measurements of the bottle were then sent to ceramic specialists in London and Oxford, which results in confirmation of its provenance and revealed further details about its dating and function.

description: In vivo, cardiomyocytes comprise a heterogeneous population of contractile cells defined by unique electrophysiologies, molecular markers and morphologies. The mechanisms directing myocardial cells to specific sub-lineages remain poorly understood. Here we report that overexpression of TGFβ-Activated Kinase (TAK1/Map3k7) in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells faithfully directs myocardial differentiation of embryoid body (EB)-derived cardiac cells toward the sinoatrial node (SAN) lineage. Most cardiac cells in Map3k7-overexpressing EBs adopt markers, cellular morphologies, and electrophysiological behaviors characteristic of the SAN. These data, in addition to the fact that Map3k7 is upregulated in the sinus venous—the source of cells for the SAN—suggest that Map3k7 may be an endogenous regulator of the SAN fate.

description: In this Letter, we propose a new possible connection between dark matter relic density and baryon asymmetry of the universe. The portal between standard model sector and dark matter not only controls the relic density and detections of dark matter, but also allows the dark matter to trigger the first order electroweak phase transition. We discuss systematically possible scalar dark matter candidates, starting from a real singlet to arbitrary high representations. We show that the simplest realization is provided by a doublet, and that strong first-order electroweak phase transition implies a lower bound on the dark matter direct detection rate. The mass of dark matter lies between 45 and 80 GeV, allowing for an appreciable invisible decay width of the Standard Model Higgs boson, which is constrained to be lighter than 130 GeV for the sake of the strong phase transition.

Detection efficiency for loophole-free Bell tests with entangled states affected by colored noise

description: Loophole-free Bell tests for quantum nonlocality and long-distance secure communication require photodetection efficiencies beyond a threshold eta_{crit} that depends on the Bell inequality and the noise affecting the entangled state received by the distant parties. Most calculations of eta_{crit} assume that the noise is random and can be modeled as white noise. However, most sources suffer from colored noise. Indeed, since entangled states are usually created as a superposition of two possible deexcitation paths, a partial distinguishability between the two processes leads to the appearance of colored noise in the generated state. Recently, there was a proposal for a loophole-free Bell test [A. Cabello and F. Sciarrino, Phys. Rev. X 2, 021010 (2012)], where a specific colored noise appears as a consequence of the precertification of the photon's presence through single-photon spontaneous parametric down-conversion. Here we obtain eta_{crit}, the optimal quantum states, and the local settings for a loophole-free Bell test as a function of the amount of colored noise. We consider three bipartite Bell inequalities with n dichotomic settings: Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (n=2), I_{3322} (n=3), and A_5 (n=4), both for the case of symmetric efficiencies, corresponding to photon-photon Bell tests, and for the totally asymmetric case, corresponding to atom-photon Bell tests. Remarkably, in all these cases, eta_{crit} is robust against the colored noise. The present analysis can find application in any test of Bell inequalities in which the dominant noise is of the colored type.

Looking forward from the past : using Burma's history of military rule to understand its future
Creators: name: Sivasothy, Kavivarman

description: Burma's transition to civilian rule marks a significant development in its history. But while the burden of responsibility for the state now rests in the hands of elected officials, the relevance of the Burmese military, which ruled the state for decades, has not significantly diminished. The ability to understand the military's behaviour, both its reasons for capturing the state and its current commitment to allowing civilian rule, contribute to understanding how it will behave in the future. This paper will sort out the development of the institutional ideology that animates the Burmese military, namely a focus on preserving the territorial unity of the state; and it will identify the opportunity this has afforded military elites to pursue their own goals. From Ne Win to Than Shwe, the Burmese military has served as a powerful political vehicle that has allowed them near despotic control of the state while simultaneously constraining their behaviour. The use of purges and promotions to build internal loyalty and incentivize ambitious officers to heed the commands of leadership was instrumental in preserving solidarity within the military, but it also limited the autonomy of military elites to pursue personal goals. The continued use of such strategies within the military is indicative of the influence military elites continue to have on the behaviour of the Tatmadaw, but the separation of state and military have also tempered the incentives of military leadership to act counter to the interests of government. In order to realize their political ambitions, military leaders must now build partnerships with elected politicians, creating a new restraint on military behaviour. But this cooperative relationship will face future tests, as the desire of the military to remain autonomous will have to be reconciled with the government's natural inclination to increase oversight over the use of force within its territory. Such challenges to the institutional role of the military pose a risk to Burma's future, and the ways in which political and military elites will respond to this is key to whether civilian rule in Burma is here for good or another transitory experiment.
Intrinsic Hall effect in a multiband chiral superconductor in the absence of an external magnetic field

description: We identify an intrinsic Hall effect in multiband chiral superconductors in the absence of a magnetic field (i.e., an anomalous Hall effect). This effect arises from interband transitions involving time-reversal symmetry-breaking chiral Cooper pairs. We discuss the implications of this effect for the putative chiral p-wave superconductor, Sr2RuO4, and show that it can contribute significantly to Kerr rotation experiments. Since the magnitude of the effect depends on the structure of the order parameter across the bands, this result may be used to distinguish between different models proposed for the superconducting state of Sr2RuO4.

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Dalitz-plot analyses of B^0_(s) -> K_S h^+h(‘)^- (where h(‘) is a kaon or a pion) in LHCb are discussed. First, our measurement of the branching fractions of these modes is presented. It provides input and constraints that are necessary for the Dalitz-plot analyses. Then, the time integrated untagged Dalitz-plot analysis of B^0 -> KS pi+ pi- with 3 fb-1 is presented. This is the first amplitude analysis of a B^0_(s) -> K_S h^+h(‘)^- mode in a hadronic machine. This analysis allows to determine the CP asymmetry between the B0bar -> K*(892)^- pi^+ and B0 -> K*(892)^+ pi^- decay rates to be -0.308 \pm 0.062. Finally, the prospects for other B^0_(s) -> K_S h^+h(‘)^- modes are detailed.
