description: We obtain fermion fluctuation equations around extremal charged black hole geometries in maximal gauged supergravity in four and five dimensions, and we demonstrate that their solutions display Fermi surface singularities for the dual conformal field theories at finite chemical potential. The four-dimensional case is a massless charged fermion, while in five dimensions we find a massive charged fermion with a Pauli coupling. In both cases, the corresponding scaling exponent is less than one half, leading to non-Fermi liquid behavior with no stable quasiparticles, although some excitations have widths more than ten times smaller than their excitation energy. In the five-dimensional case, both the Fermi momentum and the scaling exponent appear to have simple values, and a Luttinger calculation suggests that the gauginos may carry most of the charge of the black hole.

description: Background and purpose — There is still no consensus on whether to use thromboprophylaxis as a standard treatment in shoulder replacement surgery. We investigated the use of thromboprophylaxis reported to the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register (NAR). The primary endpoint was early mortality after primary shoulder arthroplasty with and without thromboprophylaxis. Secondary endpoints included revisions within 1 year and intraoperative complications. Patients and methods — This observational study included 6,123 primary shoulder arthroplasties in 5,624 patients reported to the NAR from 2005 to 2018. Cox regression analyses including robust variance analysis were performed with adjustments for age, sex, ASA score, diagnosis, type of implant, fixation, duration of surgery, and year of primary surgery. An instrumental variable Cox regression was performed to estimate the causal effect of thromboprophylaxis. Results — Thromboprophylaxis was used in 4,089 out of 6,123 shoulder arthroplasties. 90-day mortality was similar between the thromboprophylaxis and no thromboprophylaxis groups (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.1, 95% CI 0.6–2.4). High age (> 75), high ASA class (≥ 3), and fracture diagnosis increased postoperative mortality. No statistically significant difference in the risk of revision within 1 year could be found (HR = 0.6, CI 0.3–1.2). The proportion of intraoperative bleeding was similar in the 2 groups (0.2%, 0.3%). Interpretation — We had no information on cause of death and relation to thromboembolic events. However, no association of reduced mortality with use of thromboprophylaxis was found. Based on our findings routine use of thromboprophylaxis in shoulder arthroplasty can be questioned.
Interactions between salmon macrophages and pathogenic bacteria in the presence of secretions isolated from Lepeophtheirus salmonis
Creators: name: Lewis, Danielle Lee
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: In response to stimuli (i.e., salmon mucus) the sea louse, Lepeophtheirus salmonis, produces pharmacologically active substances (prostaglandin E₂, trypsin-like proteases and cathepsin). Lice-derived secretions impair the genetic expression of pro-inflammatory mediators in the commercial salmon-head kidney (SHK-1) cell line and head kidney macrophages isolated from Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar); however, effects on the functionality of these cells has not been explored. Related to the development of an inflammatory response, salmon species (Oncorhynchus spp. and Salmo spp.) exhibit differences in infection rates and threshold tolerances to L. salmonis. The objective of this study was to determine if the presence of L. salmonis secretory and excretory products (SEPs) alters the innate immune response of salmon. More specifically, the present study examined if the presence of SEPs altered phagocytic activity and respiratory burst response of salmon macrophages. Phagocytosis assays were performed using SHK-1 cells and the bacterial pathogen, Aeromonas salmonicida, in the presence/absence of SEPs. To address species-specific differences, phagocytosis and respiratory burst assays were completed using macrophages isolated from pink (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha), chum (O. keta), and Atlantic (S. salar) salmon in the presence/absence of SEPs. SHK-1 cells incubated with SEPs plus A. salmonicida had a significantly higher phagocytic index (223.2 %) than cells incubated with A. salmonicida alone (136.5 %). Macrophages isolated from pink salmon had a pronounced production of superoxide (O₂) in the presence of SEPs that was not observed in chum or Atlantic salmon macrophages. Interestingly, pink salmon macrophages had a lower phagocytic index (15.8 %) than the more L. salmonis-susceptible species, chum (55.1 %) and Atlantic (26.4 %) salmon. Furthermore, the presence of PGE₂, proteins and other undetermined molecules in SEPs appear to have a biologically relevant concentration at which they no longer exert an effect on phagocytosis in SHK-1 cells. This study provides the first evidence of altered macrophage function in response to L. salmonis secretions and provides insight into the complex interactions that occur at the parasite-host interface (i.e., the skin).

description: The performance of the LAND neutron detector is studied. Using an event-mixing technique based on one-neutron data obtained in the S107 experiment at the GSI laboratory, we test the efficiency of various analytic tools used to determine the multiplicity and kinematic properties of detected neutrons. A new algorithm developed recently for recognizing neutron showers from spectator decays in the ALADIN experiment S254 is described in detail. Its performance is assessed in comparison with other methods. The properties of the observed neutron events are used to estimate the detection efficiency of LAND in this experiment.

description: Using hydrodynamical zoom simulations in the standard LCDM cosmology, we investigate the evolution of the distribution of baryons (gas and stars) in a local group-type universe. First, with standard star formation and supernova feedback prescriptions, we find that the mean baryonic fraction value estimated at the virial radius of the two main central objects (i.e. the Milky Way and Andromeda) is decreasing over time, and is 10-15% lower than the universal value, 0.166, at z=0. This decrease is mainly due to the fact that the amount of accretion of dissipative gas onto the halo, especially at low redshift, is in general much lower than that of the dissipationless dark matter. Indeed, a significant part of the baryons does not collapse onto the haloes and remains in their outskirts, mainly in the form of warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM). Moreover, during the formation of each object, some dark matter and baryons are also expelled through merger events via tidal disruption. In contrast to baryons, expelled dark matter can be more efficiently re-accreted onto the halo, enhancing both the reduction of fb inside Rv, and the increase of the mass of WHIM outside Rv. Varying the efficiency of supernovae feedback at low redshift does not seem to significantly affect these trends. Alternatively, when a significant fraction of the initial gas in the main objects is released at high redshifts by more powerful sources of feedback, such as AGN from intermediate mass black holes in lower mass galaxies, the baryonic fraction at the virial radius can have a lower value (fb~0.12) at low redshift. Hence physical mechanisms able to drive the gas out of the virial radius at high redshifts will have a stronger impact on the deficit of baryons in the mass budget of Milky Way type-galaxies at present times than those that expel the gas in the longer, late phases of galaxy formation.

description: We present a computer simulation study on crystal nucleation and growth in supersaturated suspensions of mono-disperse hard spheres induced by a triangular lattice substrate. The main result is that compressed substrates are wet by the crystalline phase (the crystalline phase directly appears without any induction time), while for stretched substrates we observe heterogeneous nucleation. The shapes of the nucleated crystallites fluctuate strongly. In the case of homogeneous nucleation amorphous precursors have been observed (Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 105}(2):025701 (2010)). For heterogeneous nucleation we do not find such precursors. The fluid is directly transformed into highly ordered crystallites.

description: Let $m$ be a positive integer, and define $$ζ_m(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{(-e^{2πi/m})^{ω(n)}}{n^s}\ \ \ \ \text{and} \ \ \ \ ζ^*_m(s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{(-e^{2πi/m})^{Ω(n)}}{n^s},$$ for $\Re(s)>1$, where $ω(n)$ denotes the number of distinct prime factors of $n$, and $Ω(n)$ represents the total number of prime factors of $n$ (counted with multiplicity). In this paper we study these two zeta functions and related arithmetical functions. We show that $$\sum^\infty_{n=1\atop n\ \text{is squarefree}}\frac{(-e^{2πi/m})^{ω(n)}}n=0\quad\text{if}\ \ m>4,$$ which is similar to the known identity $\sum_{n=1}^\inftyμ(n)/n=0$ equivalent to the Prime Number Theorem. For $m>4$, we prove that $$ζ_m(1):=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{(-e^{2πi/m})^{ω(n)}}n=0 \ \ \ \ \text{and}\ \ \ \ ζ^*_m(1):=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{(-e^{2πi/m})^{Ω(n)}}n=0.$$ We also raise a hypothesis on the parities of $Ω(n)-n$ which implies the Riemann Hypothesis.

We say that $M$ is b-Poisson if the map $Π^n:M\toΛ^{2n}(TM)$ intersects the zero section transversally on a codimension one submanifold $Z\subset M$. This paper will be a systematic investigation of such Poisson manifolds. In particular, we will study in detail the structure of $(M,Π)$ in the neighbourhood of $Z$ and using symplectic techniques define topological invariants which determine the structure up to isomorphism. We also investigate a variant of de Rham theory for these manifolds and its connection with Poisson cohomology.

description: It is known that a lattice is representable as a ring of sets iff the lattice is distributive. CRL is the class of bounded distributive lattices (DLs) which have representations preserving arbitrary joins and meets. jCRL is the class of DLs which have representations preserving arbitrary joins, mCRL is the class of DLs which have representations preserving arbitrary meets, and biCRL is defined to be the intersection of jCRL and mCRL. We prove CRL is a strict subset of biCRL which is a strict subset of both jCRL and mCRL. Let L be a DL. Then L is in mCRL iff L has a distinguishing set of complete, prime filters. Similarly, L is in jCRL iff L has a distinguishing set of completely prime filters, and L is in CRL iff L has a distinguishing set of complete, completely prime filters. Each of the classes above is shown to be pseudo-elementary and hence closed under ultraproducts. The class CRL is not closed under elementary equivalence, hence it is not elementary.

description: The study of classical spins in topological insulators [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 80}, 115216 (2009)] is generalized to topological superconductors. Based on the characteristic features of the so-called $F$-function, Bogoliubov-de Gennes Hamiltonian for superconductors is classified to positive, negative, and zero "gap" categories for topologically trivial and nontrivial phases of a topological superconductor as well as a BCS superconductor respectively. It is found that the $F$-function determines directly the presence or absence of localized excited states, induced by bulk classical spins and nonmagnetic impurities, in superconducting gap and their persistence with respect to impurity strength. Our results provide an alternative way to identify topologically insulating and superconducting phases in experiments while without resorting to the surface properties.

A study of ritualized expressions in Spanish language original version film scripts
Creators: name: SALAS GONZALEZ, Basilio Andrés
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This study examines the use of ritualized expressions, such as greetings and farewells, in the scripts of Spanish-language films, focusing on their application in teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE) and their connection to Spanish Studies: language, literature and culture. The primary objective is to identify and describe the pragmatic features associated with the contexts in which these expressions occur within movie scenes, evaluating their contextual appropriateness.

 

Frequently, lexicographic resources and ELE manuals fail to adequately address the pragmatic conditions governing the use of these expressions. To fill this gap, this study delimits and analyzes the scenes where ritualized expressions are used or omitted, conducting a comparative and pragmatic-linguistic analysis. The results are compared with those generated by a language model (LLM), such as ChatGPT 4o, which provides contextual data (subtitles, transcripts, video files, or screenshots) to analyze and describe the same scenes through targeted prompts.

 

This approach incorporates a mixed methodology, combining qualitative descriptions (conducted by human experts) and quantitative data (generated by the LLM). This dual perspective enables the systematization and objectification of data, uncovering usage patterns and consolidating the ritualized nature of these expressions. The study also evaluates whether these expressions meet the criteria for inclusion in lexicographic lists with appropriate pragmatic contexts for language teaching.

 

Finally, this study clarifies how the use conditions for ritualized expressions should be described in ELE materials, distinguishing between genuinely ritualized expressions and those created as fictional elements in audiovisual scripts. It also documents the diachronic and diatopic uses of these expressions while offering a comprehensive comparison between analyses conducted by human experts and those generated by AI tools.

Effect of spectral and temporal variation of subsurface irradiance on the heating of lakes
Creators: name: Nassar, Yasmin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This dissertation illustrates how the vertical distribution of temperature in lakes can be affected by the fact that the attenuation coefficient of light is often strongly dependent on wavelength. The potential importance of this spectral effect is first examined by considering the solar radiation in isolation, and then by including all non–penetrative heat fluxes using a modified version of the numerical model, DYRESM. Comparing the subsurface spectral irradiance of different lakes reveals that the spectral variability of the attenuation coefficient is more significant when calculating the light intensity in relatively clear lakes than in turbid lakes. Comparisons made between field measurements and theoretical predictions of hypolimnetic heating show the importance of accounting for the spectral irradiance for two relatively clear lakes: Pavilion Lake and Crater Lake. A new parameterization that better describes the spectral attenuation coefficient and the distribution of subsurface irradiance is added to DYRESM. The results obtained, when running the original and the modified DYRESM on Pavilion Lake, show a significant improvement in predicting the thermal structure of the lake with the modified version. The effects of the variation in solar angle and the seasonal variation in water quality on the attenuation coefficient are also examined for Pavilion Lake using DYRESM modified to accept a time varying attenuation coefficient. Simulations were performed for Pavilion Lake using the original and modified versions of DYRESM on diurnal and seasonal scales. Results show no significant improvement in the thermal evolution of the lake when considering the diurnal variations, while slight improvement was shown on a seasonal scale.

description: We study mathematical models of the collaborative solving of a two-choice discrimination task. We estimate the difference between the shared performance for a group of n observers over a single person performance. Our paper is a theoretical extension of the recent work of Bahrami et al. (2010) from a dyad (a pair) to a group of n interacting minds. We analyze several models of communication, decision-making and hierarchical information-aggregation. The maximal slope of psychometric function (closely related to the percentage of right answers vs. easiness of the task) is a convenient parameter characterizing performance. For every model we investigated, the group performance turns out to be a product of two numbers: a scaling factor depending of the group size and an average performance. The scaling factor is a power function of the group size (with the exponent ranging from 0 to 1), whereas the average is arithmetic mean, quadratic mean, or maximum of the individual slopes. Moreover, voting can be almost as efficient as more elaborate communication models, given the participants have similar individual performances.

Huellas y nostalgias: la presencia elíptica de Andalucía en el segundo «Quijote» y en el «Persiles»
Creators: name: Lozano-Renieblas, Isabel
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2012

description: La presencia de Andalucía tanto en el segundo «Quijote» como en el «Persiles» no viene dada por la geografía de sus novelas sino que sigue una derrota más compleja, acaso porque Andalucía no fue para Cervantes una atracción pasajera. Moraba en lo más profundo de su alma y ni siquiera la ausencia de un escenario geográfico pudo borrarla del mapa de sus dos últimas novelas. Y aunque Cervantes no situó las andanzas de don Quijote ni las de los devotos peregrinos del «Persiles» en escenario andaluz, Andalucía aflora en ambas obras a través de una concepción del espacio que consiste en crear vínculos entre el contenido temático y el espacio en el que acaece una historia dada. Esta concepción del espacio ahonda en aquello que definía culturalmente la Andalucía del siglo de oro: minorías religiosas y marginados, atraídos, precisamente, por la prosperidad económica.

The presence of Andalusia in both the second part of the ‘Quixote’ and in the 'Persiles' is not given by the geography of these novels. It follows a more complex path, perhaps because, for Cervantes, Andalusia was not for a fleeting attraction. Andalusia dwelt in the depth of his soul and nor even the absence of a geographic scenario could wipe it out his last two novels. Although Cervantes did not put the adventures of Don Quixote or of the devout pilgrims of ‘Persiles’, the presence of Andalusia rises in both works. It is linked to a conception of space that consists of creating links between the thematic content and space in which a given story happens. This concept of space delves into that culturally defined Andalusia’s golden age: religious minorities and marginalized, attracted by its economic prosperity.

Euristica del senso. Iconic turn e semiotica dell'immagine
Creators: name: Mengoni, Angela
Publisher: name: Lebenswelt. Aesthetics and philosophy of experience.
Year: 2012

description: Taking cue from the epistolary exchange between Gottfried Boehm and Tom Mitchell, the article explores the relationship between the so-called Bildkritik and the visual semiotics. Rather than focusing on the explicit quotation of semiotic concepts or authors, the paper proposes to examine the heuristic approach to the image that characterizes both the analytical dimension of the Bildkritik and the semiotics of the image developed by the French generative semiotics.

Taking into account the immanent approach of both traditions and some key-operators (such as ‘iconic difference’ and ‘sémiotique plastique’), the acknowledgement of an active sense-generating capability of the ‘visual’ will emerge as a common feature.

description: Six-dimensional (1,0) supersymmetric gauged Einstein-Maxwell supergravity is extended by the inclusion of a supersymmetric Riemann tensor squared invariant. Both the original model as well as the Riemann tensor squared invariant are formulated off-shell and consequently the total action is off-shell invariant without modification of the supersymmetry transformation rules. In this formulation, superconformal techniques, in which the dilaton Weyl multiplet plays a crucial role, are used. It is found that the gauging of the U(1) R-symmetry in the presence of the higher-order derivative terms does not modify the positive exponential in the dilaton potential. Moreover, the supersymmetric Minkowski(4) x S^2 compactification of the original model, without the higher-order derivatives, is remarkably left intact. It is shown that the model also admits non-supersymmetric vacuum solutions that are direct product spaces involving de Sitter spacetimes and negative curvature internal spaces.

description: According to Gottfried Boehm and W.J.T. Mitchell the science of images is not yet ready to write its own history. However, the present paper tries to focus and discuss some controversial points that we have to take as preliminary ontological and epistemological conditions for any kind of Bildwissenschaft: the close relationships between definition and identification of images, their theoretical and historical identity, the cognitive status of their perception and content, the epistemic dimension of image experience.

description: Background: Good understanding of the cross sections for (anti)neutrino scattering off nuclear targets in the few-GeV energy region is a prerequisite for correct interpretation of results of ongoing and planned oscillation experiments. Purpose: Clarify possible source of disagreement between recent measurements of the cross sections on carbon. Method: Nuclear effects in (anti)neutrino scattering off carbon nucleus are described using the spectral function approach. The effect of two- and multi-nucleon final states is accounted for by applying an effective value of the axial mass, fixed to 1.23 GeV. Neutral-current elastic (NCE) and charged-current quasielastic (CCQE) processes are treated on equal footing. Results: The differential and total cross sections for the energy ranging from a few hundreds of MeV to 100 GeV are obtained and compared to the available data from the BNL E734, MiniBooNE, and NOMAD experiments. Conclusions: Nuclear effects in NCE and CCQE scattering seem to be very similar. Within the spectral function approach, the axial mass from the shape analysis of the MiniBooNE data is in good agreement with the results reported by the BNL E734 and NOMAD Collaborations. However, the combined analysis of NCE and CCQE data does not seem to support the contribution of multi-nucleon final states being large enough to explain the normalization of the MiniBooNE-reported cross sections.

description: We consider an impurity ($N$--level atom) driven by monochromatic light in a host environment which is a fermionic thermal reservoir. The external light source is a time--periodic perturbation of the atomic Hamiltonian stimulating transitions between two atomic energy levels $E_{1}$ and $E_{N}$ and thus acts as an optical pump. The purpose of the present work is the analysis of the effective atomic dynamics resulting from the full microscopic time--evolution of the compound system. We prove, in particular, that the atomic dynamics of population relaxes for large times to a quasi-stationary state, that is, a stationary state up to small oscillations driven by the external light source. This state turns out to be uniquely determined by a balance condition. The latter is related to \textquotedblleft generalized Einstein relations\textquotedblright relations of spontaneous/stimulated emission/absorption rates, which are conceptually similar to the phenomenological relations derived by Einstein in 1916. As an application we show from quantum mechanical first principles how an inversion of population of energy levels of an impurity in a crystal can appear. Our results are based on the spectral analysis of the generator of the evolution semigroup related to a non--autonomous Cauchy problem effectively describing the atomic dynamics.

description: We report on the implementation of a dynamically configurable, servomotor- controlled, permanent magnet Zeeman slower for quantum optics experiments with ultracold atoms and molecules. This atom slower allows for switching between magnetic field profiles that are designed for different atomic species. Additionally, through feedback on the atom trapping rate, we demonstrate that computer-controlled genetic optimization algorithms applied to the magnet positions can be used in situ to obtain field profiles that maximize the trapping rate for any given experimental conditions. The device is lightweight, remotely controlled, and consumes no power in steady state; it is a step toward automated control of quantum optics experiments.

Morphology and optical properties of coated aggregates
Creators: name: Soewono, Arka
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Soot particles are often internally mixed with non-absorbing organic which enhances light scattering and absorption, but the magnitude of this enhancement is highly uncertain. A better characterization of optical properties of coated soot is critical for interpreting optical soot measurements. Simulations using numerically generated aggregates were performed to assess the impact of coatings on the optical properties. A cluster-cluster aggregation algorithm was used to produce aggregates (Df = 1.78 and 2.1) containing 15–600 primary particles with dp = 30 nm. The optical properties were calculated using the discrete-dipole approximation (DDA). For uncoated aggregates, their optical properties were compared with the Rayleigh-Debye-Gans. It was found that the aggregates with similar fractal dimension and prefactor produced by the two methods showed small variations on the optical cross sections. Two coating models were considered: concentric coating and droplet sphere. For the first model, DDA predicted larger absorption than the volume-equivalent core-shell Mie. The coating also caused increase in the discrepancy between the scattering predicted by DDA and the core-shell Mie. For the second model, the aggregates exhibited less absorption and more scattering compared to the concentrically coated aggregates with similar coating fraction, highlighting the importance of coating configurations on the optical properties of coated soot. Laboratory experiments on particles coated with transparent organic were conducted to investigate the changes in the aggregate structure and scattering. Palas particles (dmobility ≈ 118 nm) were employed as proxy for soot and oleyl alcohol was used as the coating. The results of the experiments confirmed that the aggregate-like particles underwent collapsing as the coating was added. The aggregate was fully collapsed (dmobility ≈ 78 nm) when coating mass ratios ≈ 1.75. The coating also enhanced the scattering of coated Palas by a factor of around 2 – 15 depending on the coating amount. The comparative study between the nephelometer scattering from the experiments and the corresponding volume-equivalent Mie were done. The scattering of the uncoated and coated aggregate when aggregate restructuring still occurred were significantly lower compared to the Mie estimations. As the particles fully collapsed, however, their scattering could be accurately predicted from the Mie theory.
