description: This talk reviews the recent progress in the extraction of bound-state characteristics from the operator-product expansion (OPE) for field-theory correlators, which constitutes the basis of the method of QCD sum rules. This progress is mainly related to a deeper understanding of one of the key ingredients of the method of sum rules -- the effective continuum threshold. The latter determines to a great extent the numerical values of the bound-state parameters obtained by sum rules. The understanding of properties of the effective continuum threshold allows one to formulate a new algorithm for fixng this quantity for various correlators and in this way gain control over the systematic uncertainties of the bound-state parameters extracted from sum rules. We start with examples from quantum mechanics, where bound-state properties may be calculated independently in two ways: exactly, by solving the Schrödinger equation, and approximately, by the method of dispersive sum rules. Knowing the exact solution is crucial as it allows us to control each step of the sum-rule extraction procedure. On the basis of this analysis, we formulate several improvements of the standard procedures adopted in the method of sum rules in QCD. We then show the impact of these modifications on the extraction of the decay constants of heavy mesons.

description: Weak interactions break time-reversal (T) symmetry in the two-state system of neutral K mesons. We present and discuss a two-state mechanical system, a Foucault-type pendulum on a rotating table, for a full representation of K0 K0bar transitions by the pendulum motions including T violation. The pendulum moves with two different oscillation frequencies and two different magnetic dampings. Its equation of motion is identical with the differential equation for the real part of the CPT-symmetric K-meson wave function. The pendulum is able to represent microscopic CP and T violation with CPT symmetry owing to the macroscopic Coriolis force which breaks the symmetry under reversal-of-motion. Video clips of the pendulum motions are shown as supplementary material.

description: We study Barut's covariant equations describing the electromagnetic interactions between N spin-1/2 particles. In the covariant formulation each particle is described by a Dirac spinor. It is assumed that the interactions between the particles are not mediated by a bosonic field (direct interactions). Within this formulation, using the Lagrangian formalism, we derive the approximate (semirelativistic) Breit equation for two interacting spin-1/2 particles.

description: An energetic electron passing through liquid helium causes ionization along its track. The ionized electrons quickly recombine with the resulting positive ions, which leads to the production of prompt scintillation light. By applying appropriate electric fields, some of the ionized electrons can be separated from their parent ions. The fraction of the ionized electrons extracted in a given applied field depends on the separation distance between the electrons and the ions. We report the determination of the mean electron-ion separation distance for charge pairs produced along the tracks of beta particles in superfluid helium at 1.5 K by studying the quenching of the scintillation light under applied electric fields. Knowledge of this mean separation parameter will aid in the design of particle detectors that use superfluid helium as a target material.

description: This thesis examines the relationship between nationalism and violence, asking the question: why are some stateless nationalist movements largely nonviolent while others produce violence and terrorism against a state or other ethnonational groups in pursuit of their goals? To answer this, I compare the cases of Northern Ireland and Wales in the 1960s-1980s, when both countries experienced waves of nationalist violence but with Northern Ireland’s violence far surpassing that of Wales in its intensity, frequency and casualties produced and with Welsh nationalist violence finding little support from the broader population. I first examine the development of nationalist identity in each country and then utilize Jeffrey Ross’s model of structural causes of terrorism to compare the violence in each case. I find that several structural factors including strength of nationalist identity were present to a far greater degree in Northern Ireland than in Wales.

description: The history of acute inter-confessional conflict in Poland began with Martin Luther in 1517 and the presentation of the declaration of faith by the Protestants at the Diet of Augsburg in 1530. Those events became a turning point, which introduced a period of tension and war into an apparently rationalized Europe. However, it was not only the great cultural centres of the contemporary world that were affected by this new conflict. In many cases, smaller centres of regional importance were plunged into a period of confusion and bloodshed, due to tensions between the representatives of different Christian denominations. This is what happened in Toruń, one of the major cities of Royal Prussia. In 1724, despite efforts to reconcile the faiths, the city experienced turbulent riots that had widespread repercussions not only across the Kingdom of Poland but also throughout the rest of Europe. In fact, this provoked a powerful reaction from Prussia, England and Russia, which were disturbed by that religious intolerance so contrary to Enlightenment ideals. The Polish King and Lithuanian Grand Duke, Augustus II the Strong, saw in this an opportunity to reform internal and external policy, but these were not well received internationally. The situation between Protestants and Catholics in German Toruń thus remained unresolved for a long time. The event is often dealt with by historians as isolated from the earlier history of Toruń. However, the omission of references to that earlier period gives the impression that the bloodshed was merely a local social disturbance caused by individuals. Without claiming to offer a detailed comprehensive account of the phenomenon, this study nevertheless considers important events that preceded the riots and were closely connected with it, namely the spread of Lutheranism throughout Royal Prussia, religious education in the high schools of Toruń and a failed attempt at inter-faith dialogue in 1645.

description: With the aim of achieving a better and more complete understanding of neutrino interactions with nuclear targets, the coherent production of charged kaons induced by neutrinos and antineutrinos is investigated in the energy range of some of the current neutrino experiments. We follow a microscopic approach which, at the nucleon level, incorporates the most important mechanisms allowed by the chiral symmetry breaking pattern of QCD. The distortion of the outgoing (anti)kaon is taken into account by solving the Klein-Gordon equation with realistic optical potentials. Angular and momentum distributions are studied, as well as the energy and nuclear dependence of the total cross section.

description: Objective: To examine if probable Developmental Coordination Disorder (pDCD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (pADHD) in elementary school children aged 8 – 13 years is associated with sport and recreation (S&R) participation and injury. Methods: Cross-sectional design. Recruitment from elementary schools in Calgary, Alberta, Canada led to 681 participants completing an anonymous questionnaire. Primary Outcome Measure: S&R participation and injury. Results: S&R participation was reported by 82.7% (95%CI; 79.8, 85.5) of children; those with co-occurring pDCD and pADHD participated less than their typically developing peers. The injury incidence rate was 2.43 injuries/1000 participation hours (95%CI; 2.06, 2.85), with no differences between study groups. Ethnicity, stressful life events and coaching were potential risk factors for injury identified by exploratory risk factor analysis. Conclusions: Children with pDCD and/or pADHD were not at greater risk of S&R injury than their typically developing peers, but those with co-occurring pDCD and pADHD participated in S&R less.

The coarse-grained particles form vesicles which, at low temperature, have orientational order in the local tangent plane. As the strength of coupling between the nematic director and the vesicle curvature increases, the vesicles show a morphology transition from spherical to prolate and finally to a tube. We also observe the shape and defect arrangement around the tips of the prolate vesicle.

description: Organic solid-state lasers are reviewed, with a special emphasis on works published during the last decade. Referring originally to dyes in solid-state polymeric matrices, organic lasers also include the rich family of organic semiconductors, paced by the rapid development of organic light emitting diodes. Organic lasers are broadly tunable coherent sources are potentially compact, convenient and manufactured at low-costs. In this review, we describe the basic photophysics of the materials used as gain media in organic lasers with a specific look at the distinctive feature of dyes and semiconductors. We also outline the laser architectures used in state-of-the-art organic lasers and the performances of these devices with regard to output power, lifetime, and beam quality. A survey of the recent trends in the field is given, highlighting the latest developments in terms of wavelength coverage, wavelength agility, efficiency and compactness, or towards integrated low-cost sources, with a special focus on the great challenges remaining for achieving direct electrical pumping. Finally, we discuss the very recent demonstration of new kinds of organic lasers based on polaritons or surface plasmons, which open new and very promising routes in the field of organic nanophotonics.
Synthetic lethality in NSCLC cells: Interrogating the therapeutic potential of ATM deficiency

description: Previous work by the Bebb and Lees-Miller labs demonstrated poly(ADP)ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi) induced synthetic lethality in Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) deficient cells. My work extended these studies to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In vitro, ATM deficient NSCLC cell lines were investigated by assessing DNA damage-induced phosphorylated target proteins and ionizing radiation (IR) sensitivity using the clonogenic assay. Two cell lines, H23 and H1395, with reduced ATM expression and impaired ATM dependent signalling were identified. H23 exhibited the expected increased sensitivity to radiation and PARPi. H1395 on the other hand displayed IR-induced ATM dependent phosphorylation and behaved like its ATM competent counterparts by being resistant to the investigative agents. These results suggest that while ATM deficiency may predict sensitivity to radiation and a novel combination of cisplatin and PARPi additional unidentified factors modulate this phenotype. These observations require validation in further studies.

description: We study nonlocal symmetries and their similarity reductions of Riccati and Abel chains. Our results show that all the equations in Riccati chain share the same form of nonlocal symmetry. The similarity reduced $N^{th}$ order ordinary differential equation (ODE), $N=2, 3,4,...$, in this chain yields $(N-1)^{th}$ order ODE in the same chain. All the equations in the Abel chain also share the same form of nonlocal symmetry (which is different from the one that exist in Riccati chain) but the similarity reduced $N^{th}$ order ODE, $N=2, 3,4,$, in the Abel chain always ends at the $(N-1)^{th}$ order ODE in the Riccati chain. We describe the method of finding general solution of all the equations that appear in these chains from the nonlocal symmetry.

Neuronal plasticity in the dentate gyrus of a mouse model of Fragile X syndrome
Creators: name: Eadie, Brennan Daniel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Fragile-X syndrome (FXS) is the most common form of inherited intellectual disability (ID), representing a considerable burden of health in our society. FXS is caused by repression of the transcription of one gene, Fmr1. Normally, expression of the Fmr1 gene leads to the production of one type of protein, the Fragile-X Mental Retardation Protein (FMRP). At the cellular level, FXS is caused by a lack of FMRP. The fact that mice and humans possess a nearly identical Fmr1 gene has permitted the generation of a mouse model of FXS using modern transgenesis techniques (Fmr1 knockout (KO) mice). The study of the behavior of Fmr1 KO mice was expected to quickly reveal ID with subsequent elucidation of the syndrome’s neurobiological underpinnings. Unfortunately, the manifestation of presumed ID (defined as significant impairments in intellectual and adaptive functioning) at the behavioral and neurobiological levels in Fmr1 KO mice has been surprisingly elusive. How repression of Fmr1 gene expression affects the human brain to produce ID is unclear. The dentate gyrus (DG) subfield of the hippocampus is a region of the brain that is associated with learning and emotion, exhibits marked structural and functional plasticity, and was unexplored in Fmr1 KO mice prior to the work presented in this thesis. Our overarching hypothesis is that lack of expression of the Fmr1 gene deleteriously alters structural and functional plasticity in the mammalian DG, and impairs aspects of learning and emotion associated with this brain region. Chapter 1 introduces topics such as FXS, the hippocampus, plasticity and the mouse model of FXS. Specific hypotheses are listed at the end of chapter 1. Chapters 2 and 3 are manuscripts written for publication in peer-reviewed journals. The bulk of the data relating to the testing of the specific hypotheses are presented in these chapters. Chapter 4 is a general discussion that seeks to place the results presented in the thesis into context within the literature, and also identifies important future directions. The thesis concludes with a new model posited for the pathophysiology of FXS.

description: NiO6-octahedral tilts in ultrathin LaNiO3 films were studied using position averaged convergent beam electron diffraction (PACBED) in scanning transmission electron microscopy. Both the type and magnitude of the octahedral tilts were determined by comparing PACBED experiments to frozen phonon multislice simulations. It is shown that the out-of-plane octahedral tilt of an epitaxial film under biaxial tensile stress (0.78 % in-plane tensile strain) increases by ~ 20%, while the in-plane rotation decreases by ~ 80%, compared to the unstrained bulk material.

description: We experimentally investigate the structural behavior of an interacting colloidal monolayer being driven across a decagonal quasiperiodic potential landscape created by an optical interference pattern. When the direction of the driving force is varied, we observe the monolayer to be directionally locked on angles corresponding to the symmetry axes of the underlying potential. At such locking steps we observe a dynamically ordered smectic phase in agreement with recent simulations. We demonstrate, that such dynamical ordering is due to the interaction of particle lanes formed by interstitial and non-interstitial particles.

Development of Novel Garnet-Type Solid Electrolytes for Potential Application in Li Ion Batteries

Subjects: subject: Chemistry--Physical
subject: Lithium ion batteries
subject: Garnet-type solid electrolyte

description: The development of promising solid electrolytes having a garnet-like structure has been successfully achieved through solid state (ceramic) method. Various approaches to improve the Li ion conductivity were employed. The first approach involved creating oxide ion vacancies into the crystal structure of parent garnet-like oxide, Li5La3Nb2O12 to create a novel family of compounds with nominal composition, Li5La3Nb2-xYxO12-δ (0 ≤ x ≤ 1). The second approach was Li stuffing into the garnet-like oxides to develop a series of Li stuffed novel Li5+2xLa3Nb2-xYxO12 (0.05 ≤ x ≤ 0.75) and Li6.5La2.5Ba0.5ZrTaO12. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) coupled with a wavelength-dispersive spectrometer (WDS), 7Li nuclear magnetic resonance (Li-NMR), and AC impedance spectroscopy were employed to characterize the structure, morphology, elemental composition, Li ion sites, and Li ion conductivity. Studies have shown that Li5+2xLa3Nb2-xYxO12 have turned out to be promising solid electrolytes with high Li ion conductivity (10-4 Scm-1 at ambient temperatures). In addition, all families of garnets are found to be chemically stable with Li cathode materials (Li2MMn3O8, where M = Fe, Co) up to 400 oC in air. The developed electrolyte materials have the potential to be used in all-solid-state Li ion batteries.
Evaluating impact of opioid detoxification lengths of stay on withdrawal symptoms upon discharge
Creators: name: Melendez, Tamara
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Purpose: The purpose of this project was to determine if a longer length of detoxification is more affective reducing withdrawal symptoms. Detoxification is the process in which toxic substances in an effort to excrete them from the body. Adequate detoxification treatment for opioid use disorder is essential. The length of stay as well as the pharmacological use for detoxification are the most important aspects in treatment. An adequately treated patient during detoxification may lead to better treatment outcomes. Method: This project compared COWS scores in the beginning and at the end of detoxification with the use of Subutex for a five-day and a seven-day length of stay. The data was evaluated and compared using independent and paired t-tests. This project took place at a 16-bed detoxification facility in northern New Jersey. The use of a tool to determine the level and severity of withdrawal is important to help determine if the treatment regimen is effective in the resolution of opioid withdrawal. The clinical opioid withdrawal scale (COWS) is the tool most commonly used during detoxification to assess withdrawal symptoms when treated with Subutex. Implications for practice: The findings from this project suggests that patients that detox from opioids do better after completing a seven-day detox. Based on the findings of this project the facility should consider collecting additional data to assess the relapse rate for a five-day length of stay to determine how many patients return for treatment after discharging due to opioid relapse.

description: Navigation-capable portable devices have now blossomed into essential tools in a daily commute. With the evolution of motion sensors based on the advancements in Micro-Electric Mechanical Systems (MEMS), the number of consumer devices and applications that utilize MEMS-based sensors dramatically increased. The focus of this dissertation is about enhancing the navigation of portable devices for cycling navigation. Obtaining an accurate navigation solution continuously and seamlessly using portable devices in any orientation and without constraints is very challenging, especially during unavailability of absolute navigation information such as from the global navigation satellite system (GNSS). The main challenges are: (1) the device is not tethered to a moving platform, but rather moves in-run with respect to the moving platform and can be on the body of the cyclist and undergo any type of the motion dynamics; (2) the frame of the sensors can be in any orientation with respect to the frame of the bicycle and therefore, has time-varying orientation in each run; and (3) the error characteristics of the low-cost inertial sensors lead to growing position errors during the unavailability of absolute navigation information. In the far majority of prior research, techniques and aiding systems proposed to solve or mitigate problems are for driving and walking activities but not for cycling. The capability to obtain a meaningful navigation solution for cycling applications using a single portable device with low cost sensors is beneficial for both normal consumers and athletes. This dissertation proposes a novel cycling navigation solution using portable devices. The proposed solution includes the following novel modules: (1) pedaling detection to indicate pedaling phase used for the other proposed modules; (2) 3D misalignments to enable freely-used portable devices in any orientation; (3) Cycling Dead Reckoning (CDR) which depend on pedaling frequency to derive position and velocity; and (4) multi gear CDR (MG-CDR) which involves more than one CDR and an adaptive algorithm to adjust the parameters at different gear ratios. The performance of the proposed modules was validated on a large number of trajectories collected by different users, on different bicycles including both multi-gears and single-gear bicycles.

description: Bilayer graphene nanoribbon with zigzag edge is investigated with the tight binding model. Two stacking structures, alpha and beta, are considered. The band splitting is seen in the alpha structure, while the splitting in the wave number direction is found in the beta structure. The local density of states in the beta structure tend to avoid sites where interlayer hopping interactions are present. The calculation is extended to the boron-carbon-nitride systems. The qualitative properties persist when zigzag edge atoms are replaced with borons and nitrogens.

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Background: Environmental factors such as noise, light, early morning care activities, alarms from monitors, and conversations between health care personnel may prevent patients from achieving adequate rest in the ICU. The purpose of this project was to implement a protocol for a designated Quiet Time to promote sleep in the CTICU. Method: Men and women who could read and write in English; between the age of 18 and under 89 years; post-op patients who were in the CTICU for at least 48 hours post-extubation, The Quiet Time (12 am to 4 am), protocol interventions included delaying specific activities that are commonly done at the convenience of the hospital staff. Patients were provided with Quiet Time kits including an eye mask and earplugs. Nursing staff clustered their care activities. Sleep quality was evaluated using the Richards-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ) (a visual analog scale, ranging 0–100)Results/Outcomes: Data from 44 patients (22 in the pre-intervention group, 22 in the intervention group) were analyzed. Significant differences were found between groups in the depth of sleep, falling asleep, awakenings, falling asleep again after awakening, and overall sleep quality (p < 0.05). Sleep quality was improved and noise levels were decreased.The Implication of Practice: Quiet Time interventions are useful for promoting sleep in ICU adult patients; larger sample studies are needed to examine the influences of these factors in improving sleep in hospitalized patients.

Design and Implementation of a Web Mapping System Supporting Multiple Map Projections

Subjects: subject: Geotechnology
subject: web mapping system
subject: map projection
subject: multiple map projections

description: Most of existing web mapping systems usually use web Mercator projection. However, this is a poor choice for geostatistical applications where distributions, densities, and relative areas are important. Therefore, we propose a new web mapping system architecture, which provides various map projections to meet the demands of users’ data. We first introduce client-side online platform to present data in multiple map projections as well as additional functions to adapt polar map orientation. Then we present a server-side component that pre-renders base maps in different projections using distributed techniques to ease the time- and computation- intensive tile rendering process. Also the server-side can parse the vector data users upload, while there are thousands of map projections and we assume map users might lack the knowledge about map projections (e.g., types, application, scale, etc.). We propose a server-side component that recommends suitable SRID (Spatial Reference System Identifier) for input data.

description: Numerical simulations for the merger of binary neutron stars are performed in full general relativity incorporating both nucleonic and hyperonic finite-temperature equations of state (EOS) and neutrino cooling for the first time. It is found that even for the hyperonic EOS, a hypermassive neutron star is first formed after the merger for the typical total mass $\approx$ 2.7M\bigodot, and subsequently collapses to a black hole (BH). It is shown that hyperons play a substantial role in the post-merger dynamics, torus formation around the BH, and emission of gravitational waves (GWs). In particular, the existence of hyperons is imprinted in GWs. Therefore, GW observations will provide a potential opportunity to explore the composition of the neutron star matter.

description: This thesis explores the use of spirituality in mainstream medical discourse. Both discourse analysis and socio-historical analysis are applied to understand how spirituality is used in medicine and the ways in which medical professionals construct its meaning and application in the areas of practice, research, and training. Through socio-historical analysis this thesis regards the construction of spirituality and its various influences beginning in the mid to late nineteenth century that help shape its use today in the medical discourse. As a result of the influences, various connotations arise within each of the sub-discourses in medicine. This variation leads to the construction of medicine’s own adaptation of spirituality, as Medical Spirituality. Criticism arises when incongruences within the medical discourse are further analyzed. Further study of the construction and use of spirituality in medicine is encouraged, most especially, with an open dialogue between the field of religious studies and the discipline of medicine.

The effect of food and weight-related cues on physiological stress measures in women with high versus low levels of cognitive dietary restraint
Creators: name: Sanghera, Mandeep
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Cognitive dietary restraint (CDR) reflects a perception of constantly monitoring or attempting to restrict food intake as a means to control body weight, rather than eating in response to physiological hunger cues. Higher salivary and urinary cortisol levels have been observed in women with high versus low CDR. This study assessed whether food and weight-related cues differentially activate the physiological stress response in 70 healthy women aged 19-35 with low (0-5; n = 35) or high (13-21; n = 35) scores on the Three Factor Eating Questionnaire Restraint subscale. Participants completed questionnaires on eating attitudes, stress, anxiety, depression and physical activity in the presence of food temptations. Concurrently, blood pressure, heart rate and salivary cortisol measures were obtained every 15 minutes over a 90 minute period. Results showed significant between-group differences in eating attitudes while anthropometric, general perceived stress, anxiety, depression and physical activity variables were similar. Although women with high CDR perceived the protocol as more stressful, physiological measures did not differ by CDR level. Participants also provided 4 saliva samples collected within 1 hour of awakening to assess the awakening cortisol response (ACR). ACR disturbances may be indicative of disrupted hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis functioning, which may be responsible for the higher cortisol levels observed in high restraint women. Morning sampling procedures showed no between-group differences in the ACR. In conclusion, women with high and low CDR had similar physiological stress responses after cue exposure; however, this may have been the result of a weak stressor.
