Exploring the influence of prototyping fidelity on feedback for an app with multi-sided interaction model
Creators: name: Sanobar, Yaman
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The fidelity of mobile app prototypes affects the feedback received from participants testing the prototype. The relationship between fidelity and feedback relies on context, and it can be hard to choose the right fidelity when implementing a prototype. Exploring the differences in feedback between two prototypes of different fidelities is a step toward allowing this decision to be made in a more informed and less context dependent manner. In this study, we tested two prototypes of a multi-sided booking app: a high-fidelity fully functional mobile app developed using Flutter and an equivalent low-fidelity paper prototype presented on phone-size pieces of paper. In our between-group pilot experiment, we recruited 12 participants to carry out predefined tasks, and each group tested one of the prototypes. We collected quantitative data using the System Usability Scale survey, and we collected qualitative data using semi-structured interviews. The analysis of collected data showed that the effect of fidelity on quantitative rating of usability is minimal. However, it showed differences in the qualitative feedback between the two groups of participants. For instance, the low-fidelity groups commented on text-based content and their suggestions were about introducing new ideas to expand the current design; in contrast, the high-fidelity group commented on colour and image-based content, and their suggestions were about enhancing the current design.

description: It is shown that a real novel shares many characteristic features with a null model in which the words are randomly distributed throughout the text. Such a common feature is a certain translational invariance of the text. Another is that the functional form of the word-frequency distribution of a novel depends on the length of the text in the same way as the null model. This means that an approximate power-law tail ascribed to the data will have an exponent which changes with the size of the text-section which is analyzed. A further consequence is that a novel cannot be described by text-evolution models like the Simon model. The size-transformation of a novel is found to be well described by a specific Random Book Transformation. This size transformation in addition enables a more precise determination of the functional form of the word-frequency distribution. The implications of the results are discussed.

description: Adolescents (10-19 years) and young adults (20-24 years) constitute a significant population, accounting for an estimated 24% of the world’s 7.55 billion people (UN, 2017). People in this group are often the most vulnerable to negative reproductive maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health (RMNCAH) issues such as STIs, including HIV infection, unsafe abortion, drug abuse and addiction, mental disorders, unplanned pregnancies, sexual violence and their short- and long-term consequences, especially in low- and middle-income countries (Black et al., 2016).

Furthermore, they are faced with barriers that stem from ignorance, poverty, social norms, as well as age restrictions on access to sexual and reproductive health services.

In Nigeria, young people (ages 10 – 24 years) have a population of about 60 million, accounting for about 32% of the nation’s 190.9million people (PRB, 2017). Adolescent (15-19 years) fertility rate is estimated at 122 births per 1000 adolescents (PRB, 2017) and generally, only about 34% of births are attended by skilled health personnel in the country (UNFPA, 2013).Thus, the limited access to sexual and reproductive health information and services explains why complications during pregnancy and childbirth are the leading cause of death among female adolescents (15-19 years) and the general negative health outcomes.

All adolescents deserve high-quality health care services that are devoid of criticism or unwelcoming attitudes that will keep them away as well as accessible to them.

Thus, in Lagos, Nigeria, advocates of youth friendly health service delivery designed an intervention aimed at increasing young people’s access to youth-friendly health services in slum communities in the state –Iwaya and Ilaje, and in collaboration with the state government by integrating Youth Friendly Healthcare Services (YFHS) in Primary Health Care Centers (PHCs)

Discrete Dynamics: Gauge Invariance and Quantization

description: Gauge invariance in discrete dynamical systems and its connection with quantization are considered. For a complete description of gauge symmetries of a system we construct explicitly a class of groups unifying in a natural way the space and internal symmetries. We describe the main features of the gauge principle relevant to the discrete and finite background. Assuming that continuous phenomena are approximations of more fundamental discrete processes, we discuss -- with the help of a simple illustration -- relations between such processes and their continuous approximations. We propose an approach to introduce quantum structures in discrete systems, based on finite gauge groups. In this approach quantization can be interpreted as introduction of gauge connection of a special kind. We illustrate our approach to quantization by a simple model and suggest generalization of this model. One of the main tools for our study is a program written in C.

Come studioso di diritto, richiederebbero certamente una riconsiderazione e valutazione critica i suoi scritti sui grandi temi della storia del diritto e sui filosofi che se ne sono occupati. Tra le diverse cose, meriterebbe attenzione l’analisi bettiana del ruolo dei giuristi e della loro prudentia: si tratta di analisi e riflessioni sulle diverse epoche della storia romana, sia durante la Repubblica che nelle epoche successive, che risultano ancora oggi di rilevanza assoluta.

description: Emilio Betti was not only one of the greatest Romanists and jurists of the contemporary era, but he was also a historian and philosopher. As a legal scholar, his writings on the great themes of legal history and on the philosophers who have dealt with them certainly deserve reconsideration and critical evaluation. In addition, Betti’s analysis of the role of jurists and their prudential deserves attention. These include analyses and reflections on the different eras of Roman history, both during the Republic and in subsequent eras, which are still of absolute relevance today. In particular, it is the debate on pandectics and the importance of the critique of European pandectics that marks an epochal shift in the study of law. Betti was an eminent scholar of law, who studied it in all its forms, always studying law from a historical and dynamic perspective, and had been a teacher not only of Roman law, but of various legal disciplines, and above all of subjects that had the current law as its object, in particular contemporary law....

description: We investigate theoretically the transport properties of a mesoscopic system driven by a sequence of rectangular pulses applied at the contact to the input (left) lead. The characteristics of the current which would be measured in the output (right) lead are discussed in relation with the spectral properties of the sample. The time-dependent currents are calculated via a generalized non-Markovian master equation scheme. We study the transient response of a quantum dot and of a narrow quantum wire. We show that the output response depends not only on the lead-sample coupling and on the length of the pulse but also on the states that propagate the input signal. We find that by increasing the bias window the new states available for transport induce additional structure in the relaxation current due to different dynamical tunneling processes. The delay of the output signal with respect to the input current in the case of the narrow quantum wire is associated to the transient time through the wire.

It is shown that the inclusion of quark-antiquark pairs leads to an excess of anti-d over anti-u quarks in the proton and to a large contribution of orbital angular momentum to the spin of the proton.

Instability of LBV-stars against radial oscillations

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: In this study we consider the nonlinear radial oscillations exciting in LBV--stars with effective temperatures 1.5e4 K <= Teff <= 3e4 K, bolometric luminosities 1.2e6 L_odot <= L <= 1.9e6 L_odot and masses 35.7 M_odot <= M <= 49.1 M_odot. Hydrodynamic computations were carried out with initial conditions obtained from evolutionary sequences of population I stars (X=0.7, Z=0.02) with initial masses from 70M_odot to 90 M_odot. All hydrodynamical models show instability against radial oscillations with amplitude growth time comparable with dynamical time scale of the star. Radial oscillations exist in the form of nonlinear running waves propagating from the boundary of the compact core to the upper boundary of the hydrodynamical model. The velocity amplitude of outer layers is of several hundreds of km/s while the bolometric light amplitude does not exceed 0.2 mag. Stellar oscillations are not driven by the kappa-mechanism and are due to the instability of the gas with adiabatic exponent close to the critical value Gamma_1 = 4/3 due to the large contribution of radiation in the total pressure. The range of the light variation periods (6 day <= P <= 31 day) of hydrodynamical models agrees with periods of microvariability observed in LBV--stars.

Understanding the requirements for descriptive twins to support digital twin use cases in asset and energy management
Creators: name: Awonaike, Oluwalonimi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry has seen a rise in adopting emerging digital technologies. One of these technologies is Building Information Modeling (BIM), which is widely adopted in construction projects. It is also a technology-led process that lays the groundwork for one of the latest technologies gaining popularity in the industry, the Digital Twin (DT). A DT is a realistic digital representation of assets, processes, or systems in the built or natural environment. Unlike BIM, a DT is distinguished by its ability to incorporate real-time data from live sources. The DT technology offers benefits throughout a project's lifecycle, including assessing scenarios, conducting analyses, and supervising resources. However, a clear path to determine the best use cases, requirements, and implementation strategies is yet to be developed. DTs are divided into five maturity levels: Descriptive, Informative, Predictive, Comprehensive, and Autonomous twins. This study aims to understand DTs by focusing on the descriptive twin, the lowest maturity level of DT, which is a live version of construction and design data. In this study, we collaborated with an industry partner to explore how they could integrate DT development into their services using descriptive twins. Collaborating with an industry partner ensured that the objectives, methodologies, and results were practical and aligned with industry needs. This collaboration laid the groundwork for defining the study’s overall objectives: (1) Conduct a requirement analysis to identify the requirements essential for developing a descriptive twin, and (2) Develop and evaluate a process for creating a descriptive twin prototype for Asset Management and Energy Management use cases. Through literature reviews and semi-structured interviews, which were carried out with industry experts, and a prototype development process. The study developed potential requirements for creating a descriptive twin and a use case framework to align the selection of high-level use cases leveraging relevant technology and expertise. Furthermore, the prototype process revealed some benefits, challenges, and lessons that will inform the development of a descriptive twin with Autodesk Tandem. Further research and investigation should be carried out to develop and expand the identified requirements and process.
Between tradition and modernity: Max Lock and the Ubullah Neighbourhood Plan

Publisher: name: Histories of Postwar Architecture

description: Ubullah is a zoned neighbourhood to the north of Basra, which the British planner and architect Max Lock was commissioned to plan in 1956 by the Basra Port Directorate. This followed a series of separate but relatable plans in southern Iraq completed in plan form during the previous two years. This article critically assesses how the Ubullah Neighbourhood Plan straddles both tradition and modernity within Iraq’s wider developing context, both through its physical architectural and townscape features, as well as its segregated location, away from the city centre. Owing to Basra’s location, within Iraq yet close to the Gulf, it negotiates wider geographies than its national picture; Lock’s plan acknowledged these through the scale to which he planned and the forms and types of building he aimed to procure through the publication of the Ubullah Neighbourhood Plan. This article further places the plan within its architectural and planning context, illustrating similar modern works within the Gulf, Iraq and Europe which forms Lock’s professional context. Ultimately, the plan was doomed to failure; from the outset, it was a plan that made sense for Lock to complete due to his portfolio of work in Basra and southern Iraq, yet difficulties with the location’s proximity to the city and its cut off nature meant Ubullah would be an isolated enclave on the periphery of the city. In addition, national politics and growing disquiet with the influence of the British within Iraq and neighbouring countries in the Gulf ensured the Ubullah plan by Lock was shelved.

description: By using an average heavy nuclei model, the effects of the electron screening on electron capture (EC) in core-collapse supernovae are investigated. A one-dimension code based on the Ws15$M_{\sun}$ progenitor model is utilized to test the effects of electron screening during the collapsing process. The results show that, at high densities, the effects of EC on electron capture becomes significant. During the collapsing stage, the EC rate is decreased, the collapse timescale is prolonged and the leakage of the neutrino energy is increased. These effects lead to an appreciable decrease in the initial energy of the bounce shock wave. The effects of electron screeening in the other progenitor models are also discussed.

Reliability of high-density 'gapless' module designs
Creators: name: Wendlandt, Stefan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: In recent years, photovoltaic module design and module efficiency have become an increasing research focus. In this context, optimization of cell contacting plays a major role as it affects series resistance and power output at higher irradiation levels. A novel interconnection approach is shingling solar cells. Shingled modules can achieve high cell-to-module (CTM) values. This type of interconnection nevertheless allows more options in the design from the electrical layout. The key to shingling lies in the properties of the electrically conductive adhesives (ECA). It must be conductive and mechanically flexible at the same time. In this work, we characterized and investigated the long-term stability of commercial shingle PV modules. For this purpose, we created a specific test sequence for shingle panels. Our results focus on the mechanical stability by applying different stress tests. This paper ends with an analysis of the currently available shingle PV panels with different electrical layouts.

description: The Binder cumulant at the phase transition of Ising models on square lattices with ferromagnetic couplings between nearest neighbors and with competing antiferromagnetic couplings between next--nearest neighbors, along only one diagonal, is determined using Monte Carlo techniques. In the phase diagram a disorder line occurs separating regions with monotonically decaying and with oscillatory spin--spin correlations. Findings on the variation of the critical cumulant with the ratio of the two interaction strengths are compared to related recent results based on renormalization group calculations.

The power of exercise choice on perceived autonomy support, motivation regulation, physical activity, and cardiorespiratory fitness among individuals at risk of type 2 diabetes
Creators: name: Santos, Alexandre
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: High-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) are exercise modalities that elicit positive physiological changes and help manage chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, it is unknown whether HIIT is a feasible exercise option for individuals who are insufficiently active or have a chronic condition. According to self-determination theory, providing a choice between exercise modalities may foster desired outcomes by improving individuals’ perceived autonomy support and motivation regulation. The purposes of this dissertation were to assess the feasibility of HIIT in supervised and free-living conditions and determine whether providing a choice between such exercises would impact psychological, behavioural, and physiological outcomes compared to prescriptive practices among individuals at risk of T2D. A systematic review and meta-analyses of 188 articles revealed no significant differences in supervised compliance [Hedge’s g=0.026 (95%CI: -0.090–0.143), p=.66] or free-living adherence rates [Hedge’s g=-0.313 (95%CI: -0.681–0.056), p=.096] between HIIT and MICT. Sub-group analyses on compliance suggest HIIT is favoured in supervised settings for individuals with no chronic medical condition [Hedge’s g=0.262 (95%CI: 0.048–0.476), p=.017], while sub-group analysis on adherence suggests MICT is favoured in free-living conditions when measured using an activity tracker [Hedge’s g=-0.487 (95%CI: -0.876–-0.098), p=.014]. A very low quality of evidence rating for free-living adherence warrants further research. Through a three-arm pragmatic randomized trial including 77 participants at risk of T2D, providing a choice between HIIT and MICT during a 4-week diabetes prevention program did not significantly improve perceived autonomy support, motivation regulation, free-living physical activity, or cardiorespiratory fitness 6 months post-intervention compared to exercise prescription (ps>.05). Free-living physical activity was higher among individuals expressing more autonomous forms of motivation regulation compared to more controlled forms of regulation according to Fitbit [F(2,35)=6.806, p=.003, ηp²=0.28] and self-report data [F(2,23)=3.909, p=.035, ηp²=0.25]. HIIT and MICT are both feasible exercise options. Providing a choice between HIIT and MICT did not influence long-term exercise behaviour among individuals at risk of T2D. Other factors influencing one’s motivation may be more predictive of free-living exercise behaviour. Advancements in physical activity measurements are needed to address current limitations.

description: We present a scheme for entangling the atoms of an optical lattice to reduce the quantum projection noise of a clock measurement. The divalent clock atoms are held in a lattice at a ``magic'' wavelength that does not perturb the clock frequency -- to maintain clock accuracy -- while an open-shell J=1/2 ``head'' atom is coherently transported between lattice sites via the lattice polarization. This polarization-dependent ``Archimedes' screw'' transport at magic wavelength takes advantage of the vanishing vector polarizability of the scalar, J=0, clock states of bosonic isotopes of divalent atoms. The on-site interactions between the clock atoms and the head atom are used to engineer entanglement and for clock readout.

Does prominent coastal upwelling along New Jersey lead to increases in offshore wind turbine power production?
Creators: name: Zappala, Jake
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Large offshore wind turbines are planned for construction off the New Jersey coastline to aid in the state's transition towards more renewable energy and decrease their dependence on fossil fuels. To facilitate this transition, it is important to have accurate estimates of how much power these turbines will generate. From an oceanographic perspective, New Jersey is a relatively unique wind farm location in that it frequently experiences the phenomenon known as coastal upwelling. Upwelling, which brings colder water from depth to the surface, is a result of persistent southwesterly winds along New Jersey’s coastline in the summer months. Coastal upwelling can occur along any coast with an alongshore wind, however large temperature shifts (2 to 3 °C) are a defining characteristic of upwelling in the Mid-Atlantic Bight due to the presence of the subsurface cold pool.To investigate the effects of upwelling, wind speed data at various altitudes from a floating LiDAR buoy (Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind Buoy 4) were examined across the upwelling season to understand the atmospheric and oceanic conditions within the Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind Lease Area. Daily images of sea surface temperature from the AVHRR satellite were used to determine which days in the chosen timeframe experienced large sea surface temperature shifts associated with coastal upwelling. In total, this methodology yielded a total of 39 upwelling days (43.8%) and 50 non-upwelling days (56.2%).To investigate the relationship between upwelling and power generation, this study compared the power production estimates between the upwelling and non-upwelling days. Power estimates were made using the power curve for a 15 MW wind turbine. The results of the independent sample t-tests revealed that wind speeds and power production estimations were significantly greater at all times of day during upwelling conditions (P < 0.05 for all comparisons).There is a need to examine the effects of the oceanic conditions on wind characteristics because the ocean and atmosphere interact dynamically. The results of this analysis are novel in the aspect that few (if any) studies have looked at the effects of upwelling on wind characteristics in the context of power generation.

The development of an anti-thrombotic and anti-inflammatory coating for medical devices
Creators: name: Gonzalez, Jessie Kevin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Blood-contacting biomaterials are commonly and increasingly used in medical devices including for example, vascular grafts, coronary stents, prosthetic heart valves, and extracorporeal pumps. A major and persistent problem of exposing blood to a foreign biomaterial surface is that a thromboinflammatory response is triggered that may cause device failure and/or systemic inflammation and clotting. Several biomaterial coatings, particularly heparin, are currently used to prevent thromboinflammation, but these do not reliably work. The goal of my thesis was to develop a novel blood compatible surface coating that simultaneously prevents thrombosis and inflammation by immobilizing anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory molecules in a more functional manner, onto a universal surface coating. This thesis is divided into two parts. In the first part, I chemically modified unfractionated heparin, a potent anticoagulant, on one end such that it could be conjugated to the universal antifouling surface coating in an orientation that optimally and uniformly exposed its anticoagulant antithrombin binding site. The functional properties of this heparin coating were tested under static and dynamic conditions, and these verified that this novel heparin coating was protective against thrombosis. In the second part, I modified the cDNA encoding the naturally occurring anti-inflammatory lectin-like domain of thrombomodulin (TM-LLD), such that it could be expressed by cultured mammalian cells, purified by affinity chromatography, and then conjugated to the antifouling surface coating in an accessible orientation. The purified soluble TM-LLD exhibited anti-inflammatory properties, in that it dampened leukocyte adhesion and complement activation. However, its activity when bound to the surface coating has yet to be confirmed. While further studies are required to optimize the function and to test the stability of these immobilized molecules, this thesis has provided proof-of-concept that the potent anti-coagulant, heparin, and the anti-inflammatory TM-LLD, can be chemically modified for conjugation to the antifouling surface in an orientation to optimize function. Future work will include experiments to upscale production of the modified proteins, to verify their functions and stability under different conditions, and finally, to apply combinatorial approaches to simultaneously bind the molecules to the coating to yield a truly biocompatible, biomaterial surface that prevents both thrombosis and inflammation.

description: The solvability of The Dirac equation is studied for the exponential-type potentials with the pseudospin symmetry by using the parametric generalization of the Nikiforov-Uvarov method. The energy eigenvalue equation, and the corresponding Dirac spinors for Morse, Hulthen, and q-deformed Rosen-Morse potentials are obtained within the framework of an approximation to the spin-orbit coupling term, so the solutions are given for any value of the spin-orbit quantum number $κ=0$, or $κ\neq 0$.

description: In a series of recently published papers we reanalyzed the existing treatments of Veneziano and Veneziano-like amplitudes and the models associated with these amplitudes. In this work we demonstrate that the already obtained new partition function for these amplitudes can be exactly mapped into that for the Polychronakos-Frahm (P-F) spin chain model. This observation allows us to recover many of the existing string-theoretic models, including the most recent ones.

description: In den letzten Jahren rückte das Design von Photovoltaikmodulen und deren Effizienzsteigerung immer mehr in den Forschungsschwerpunkt. Ein wichtiger Parameter ist dabei die Optimierung der Zellkontaktierung, da sie den Serienwiderstand und die Leistungsabgabe bei höheren Bestrahlungsstärken beeinflusst. Ein neuartiger Verbindungsansatz ist das Schindeln von Solarzellen. Geschindelte Module können hohe CTM-Werte (Cell-to-Module) erreichen. Diese Art der Verbindung ermöglicht gleichwohl mehr Möglichkeiten beim Design vom elektrischen Layout. Der Schlüssel beim Schindeln liegt jedoch in den Eigenschaften der elektrisch-leitfähigen Klebstoffe (ECA). Er muss gleichzeitig leitfähig und mechanisch flexibel sein. In dieser Arbeit haben wir die Langzeitstabilität von kommerziellen geschindelten PV-Modulen untersucht. Dafür haben wir eine spezielle Testsequenz erstellt. Unsere Ergebnisse konzentrieren sich auf die mechanische Stabilität durch Anwendung verschiedener Stresstests sowie die elektrische Leistung bei unterschiedlichen Verschattungen. Der Aufsatz endet mit einer Schwachstellenanalyse der derzeit verfügbaren geschindelten PV-Panels mit unterschiedlichen elektrischen Layouts.

description: Introduction: Metabolic syndrome is characterized by impaired glucose regulation, insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, altered indices of vascular regeneration. Nitric oxide, potent endogenous vasodilator, is synthesized by nitric oxide synthase from L-arginine. Many studies showed that L-arginine supplementation improved metabolic and vascular function. A low caloric food product containing L-arginine, in form of a biscuit, was created and used in this study. Aim: This is a 7-week, double-blind crossover study performed in obese subjects with impaired glucose tolerance and metabolic syndrome, consisting in daily consumption of 6 biscuits (enriched with L-arginine or placebo), in order to evaluate the effects of the L-arginine, on endothelial function and vascular repair. Results: In the group receiving L-arginine-enriched biscuits we found higher L-arginine, NOx and cGMP levels and post-ischemic blood flow compared with the group receiving placebo biscuits. Then L-arginine enanched both eNOS and Akt mRNA expression levels (in EPCs) and SDF-1?, VEGF-?, MMP-9, SCF plasmatic levels, while reduced ADMA plasmatic levels. Further we found a body weight reduction, with a significant reduction in fat mass. Conclusion: L-arginine-enriched biscuits were able to improve endothelial and vascular function, glucose metabolism, body composition, cell mobilization and differentiation properties.

description: FS CMa type stars are a group of Galactic objects with the B[e] phenomenon. They exhibit strong emission-line spectra and infrared excesses, which are most likely due to recently formed circumstellar dust. The group content and identification criteria were described in the first two papers of the series. In this paper we report our spectroscopic and photometric observations of the optical counterpart of IRAS 00470+6429 obtained in 2003--2008. The optical spectrum is dominated by emission lines, most of which have P Cyg type profiles. We detected significant brightness variations, which may include a regular component, and variable spectral line profiles in both shape and position. The presence of a weak Li {\sc I} 6708 Åline in the spectrum suggests that the object is most likely a binary system with a B2--B3 spectral type primary companion of a luminosity $\log$ L/L$\odot$ = 3.9$\pm$0.3 and a late-type secondary companion. We estimate a distance toward the object to be 2.0$\pm$0.3 kpc from the Sun.

Contributions to the Muon's Anomalous Magnetic Moment from a Hidden Sector

description: The measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon provides a stringent test of the standard model and of any physics that lies beyond it. There is currently a deviation of $3.1σ$ between the standard model prediction for the muon's anomalous magnetic moment and its experimental value. We calculate the contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment in theories where the muon couples to a particle in a hidden sector (that is, uncharged under the standard model) and a connector (which has nontrivial standard model gauge and hidden sector quantum numbers).

SHRM4, A PROTEIN INVOLVED IN X-LID, DRIVES GABA B RECEPTORS INTO DENDRITES THROUGH ITS ASSOCIATION WITH THE DYNEIN/DYNACTIN COMPLEX
Creators: name: ZAPATA, JONATHAN
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano

description: Mutations in the KIAA1202 gene coding for the Shrm4 protein have been involved in intellectual disabilities (ID). However, its expression and role in the brain is still unknown. Our data revealed that Shrm4 is present in both cortical and hippocampal primary cultured neurons and localizes at the pre- and post-synapse. ShRNA-mediated Shrm4 knock-down leads to a dramatic reduction in spine density and length. Furthermore, we detected a significant decrease in the expression level of synaptic markers compared to scrambled control. Using different biochemical and imaging approaches, we showed that the N-terminal PDZ domain of Shrm4 interacts directly with the C-terminal tail of GABAB receptor subunit isoforms 1 (GABAB1) (both GABAB1a and GABAB1b subunits). We observed for the first time that Shrm4 regulates GABABRs transport in dendrites by modulating its association with the microtubule-dependent dynein/dynactin motor complex. According to our hypothesis, in vivo and in vitro Shrm4 knockdown reduces GABAB receptor-mediated K+ currents induced by baclofen application. These results supported the presence of a trimeric complex, necessary for the correct targeting of GABAB receptors to dendrites and for its physiological role in brain transmission. These observations raised evidences that symptoms observed in Shrm4 deficient human patients such as epilectic seizures could arise from reduced level of functional GABAB receptors.
Nonparametric "regression" when errors are positioned at end-points

description: Increasing practical interest has been shown in regression problems where the errors, or disturbances, are centred in a way that reflects particular characteristics of the mechanism that generated the data. In economics this occurs in problems involving data on markets, productivity and auctions, where it can be natural to centre at an end-point of the error distribution rather than at the distribution's mean. Often these cases have an extreme-value character, and in that broader context, examples involving meteorological, record-value and production-frontier data have been discussed in the literature. We shall discuss nonparametric methods for estimating regression curves in these settings, showing that they have features that contrast so starkly with those in better understood problems that they lead to apparent contradictions. For example, merely by centring errors at their end-points rather than their means the problem can change from one with a familiar nonparametric character, where the optimal convergence rate is slower than $n^{-1/2}$, to one in the super-efficient class, where the optimal rate is faster than $n^{-1/2}$. Moreover, when the errors are centred in a non-standard way there is greater intrinsic interest in estimating characteristics of the error distribution, as well as of the regression mean itself. The paper will also address this aspect of the problem.
