description: The ‘two-hit’ hypothesis theorizes that early life allergic sensitization and respiratory infection interact to increase asthma risk. We sought to determine in a high allergy risk birth cohort whether interactions between early life allergic sensitization and respiratory infection were associated with increased risk for asthma at ages 6–7 years and 18 years. Allergic sensitization was assessed at 6, 12, and 24 months by skin prick testing to 3 food and 3 aeroallergens. Respiratory infection was defined as reported “cough, rattle, or wheeze” and assessed 4-weekly for 15 months, at 18 months, and age 2 years. Regression analysis was undertaken with parent-reported asthma at age 6–7 years and doctor diagnosed asthma at 18 years as distinct outcomes. Interactions between allergic sensitization and respiratory infection were explored with adjustment made for potential confounders. Odds of asthma were higher in sensitized compared to nonsensitized children at age 6–7 years (OR = 14.46; 95% CI 3.99–52.4), There was no evidence for interactions between allergic sensitization and early life respiratory infection, with a greater frequency of respiratory infection up to 2 years of age associated with increased odds for asthma at age 6–7 years in both sensitized (OR = 1.13; 95% CI 1.02–1.25, n = 199) and nonsensitized children (OR = 1.31; 1.11–1.53, n = 211) (p interaction = 0.089). At age 18 years, these associations were weaker. Our findings do not support ‘two-hit’ interactions between early life allergic sensitization and respiratory infection on asthma risk. Both early life respiratory infections and allergic sensitization were risk factors and children with either should be monitored closely for development of asthma.

description: We study the implementation of quantum state transfer protocols in phonon networks, where in analogy to optical networks, quantum information is transmitted through propagating phonons in extended mechanical resonator arrays or phonon waveguides. We describe how the problem of a non-vanishing thermal occupation of the phononic quantum channel can be overcome by implementing optomechanical multi- and continuous mode cooling schemes to create a 'cold' frequency window for transmitting quantum states. In addition, we discuss the implementation of phonon circulators and switchable phonon routers, which rely on strong coherent optomechanical interactions only, and do not require strong magnetic fields or specific materials. Both techniques can be applied and adapted to various physical implementations, where phonons coupled to spin or charge based qubits are used for on-chip networking applications.

description: Novel dose-finding designs, using estimation to assign the best estimated maximum- tolerated-dose (MTD) at each point in the experiment, most commonly via Bayesian techniques, have recently entered large-scale implementation in Phase I cancer clinical trials. We examine the small-sample behavior of these "Bayesian Phase I" (BP1) designs, and also of non-Bayesian designs sharing the same main "long-memory" traits (hereafter: LMP1s). For all LMP1s examined, the number of cohorts treated at the true MTD (denoted here as n*) was highly variable between numerical runs drawn from the same toxicity-threshold distribution, especially when compared with "up-and-down" (U&D) short-memory designs. Further investigation using the same set of thresholds in permuted order, produced a nearly-identical magnitude of variability in n*. Therefore, this LMP1 behavior is driven by a strong sensitivity to the order in which toxicity thresholds appear in the experiment. We suggest that the sensitivity is related to LMP1's tendency to "settle" early on a specific dose level - a tendency caused by the repeated likelihood-based "winner-takes-all" dose assignment rule, which grants the early cohorts a disproportionately large influence upon experimental trajectories. Presently, U&D designs offer a simpler and more stable alternative, with roughly equivalent MTD estimation performance. A promising direction for combining the two approaches is briefly discussed (note: the '3+3' protocol is not a U&D design).

Developing a clinical tool to treat depression in Spanish-speaking Latin American immigrants in Canada : applying a global mental health perspective for improved mental health outcomes
Creators: name: Vidal, Bertha Carolina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This dissertation considers the implications of applying of global health perspective to guide the development of culturally appropriate mental health services in Canada. Recognizing that forces of globalization can both affect determinants of health that vulnerable populations face and the kind of mental health services that are available, I focus on the situation of immigrants in the Greater Toronto Area, a population that has been prioritized for increased access to equity-driven health services, drawing on my personal and professional positionality with the issues examined. This study specifically examines Latin American immigrants, a group that has been identified as a high-growth population at-risk for mental health difficulties. An extensive and comprehensive review of social determinants of health as it relates to the mental health of Latin American immigrants in Canada is conducted, and the availability and effectiveness of patient-centred care for Latin American populations is also reviewed, with particular attention to the standard delivery versus the cultural adaptation of cognitive behavioural therapy – currently regarded as the ‘gold standard’ in psychotherapeutic treatment. Clinical, service delivery, and social policy issues that may arise in providing culturally appropriate, patient-centred care are exemplified in the findings of a secondary qualitative analysis of focus groups that were conducted for a feasibility study for a culturally adapted cognitive behavioural therapy (CA-CBT) for Latin American immigrants in Canada. A key contribution of this work is the synthesis of the foregoing evidence to conclude that the provision of culturally adapted mental health services is necessary but not sufficient to promote the health equity of Latin American immigrant population in Canada. Recommendations for policy, future research, and changes to the philosophy of psychiatric practice are discussed, and the findings are related to debates on the concept of “global mental health” that are currently underway.

description: The prevalence of asthma has gradually increased worldwide in recent years, which has made asthma a global public health problem. However, due to its complexity and heterogeneity, there are a few academic debates on the pathogenic mechanism of asthma. The study of the pathogenesis of asthma through metabolomics has become a new research direction. We aim to uncover the metabolic pathway of children with asthma. Liquid chromatography (LC)–mass spectrometry (MS)–based metabolomic analysis was conducted to compare urine metabolic profiles between asthmatic children (n = 30) and healthy controls (n = 10). Orthogonal projections to latent structures-discrimination analysis (OPLS-DA) showed that there were significant differences in metabolism between the asthma group and the control group with three different metabolites screened out, including traumatic acid, dodecanedioic acid, and glucobrassicin, and the levels of traumatic acid and dodecanedioic acid in the urine samples of asthmatic children were lower than those of healthy controls therein. Pathway enrichment analysis of differentially abundant metabolites suggested that α-linolenic acid metabolism was an asthma-related pathway. This study suggests that there are significant metabolic differences in the urine of asthmatic children and healthy controls, and α-linolenic acid metabolic pathways may be involved in the pathogenesis of asthma.

description: The two-dimensional supersymmetric gauged linear sigma model (GLSM) with abelian gauge groups and matter fields has provided many insights into string theory on Calabi--Yau manifolds of a certain type: complete intersections in toric varieties. In this paper, we consider two GLSM constructions with nonabelian gauge groups and charged matter whose infrared CFTs correspond to string propagation on determinantal Calabi-Yau varieties, furnishing another broad class of Calabi-Yau geometries in addition to complete intersections. We show that these two models -- which we refer to as the PAX and the PAXY model -- are dual descriptions of the same low-energy physics. Using GLSM techniques, we determine the quantum Kähler moduli space of these varieties and find no disagreement with existing results in the literature.

description: The existence of an extremal code of length 72 is a long-standing open problem. Let C be a putative extremal code of length 72 and suppose that C has an automorphism g of order 6. We show that C, as an F_2-module, is the direct sum of two modules, one easily determinable and the other one which has a very restrictive structure. We use this fact to do an exhaustive search and we do not find any code. This proves that the automorphism group of an extremal code of length 72 does not contain elements of order 6.

description: Interference alignment is a signaling technique that provides high multiplexing gain in the interference channel. It can be extended to multi-hop interference channels, where relays aid transmission between sources and destinations. In addition to coverage extension and capacity enhancement, relays increase the multiplexing gain in the interference channel. In this paper, three cooperative algorithms are proposed for a multiple-antenna amplify-and-forward (AF) relay interference channel. The algorithms design the transmitters and relays so that interference at the receivers can be aligned and canceled. The first algorithm minimizes the sum power of enhanced noise from the relays and interference at the receivers. The second and third algorithms rely on a connection between mean square error and mutual information to solve the end-to-end sum-rate maximization problem with either equality or inequality power constraints via matrix-weighted sum mean square error minimization. The resulting iterative algorithms converge to stationary points of the corresponding optimization problems. Simulations show that the proposed algorithms achieve higher end-to-end sum-rates and multiplexing gains that existing strategies for AF relays, decode-and-forward relays, and direct transmission. The first algorithm outperforms the other algorithms at high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) but performs worse than them at low SNR. Thanks to power control, the third algorithm outperforms the second algorithm at the cost of overhead.

description: We develop an exact wavelet transform on the three-dimensional ball (i.e. on the solid sphere), which we name the flaglet transform. For this purpose we first construct an exact transform on the radial half-line using damped Laguerre polynomials and develop a corresponding quadrature rule. Combined with the spherical harmonic transform, this approach leads to a sampling theorem on the ball and a novel three-dimensional decomposition which we call the Fourier-Laguerre transform. We relate this new transform to the well-known Fourier-Bessel decomposition and show that band-limitedness in the Fourier-Laguerre basis is a sufficient condition to compute the Fourier-Bessel decomposition exactly. We then construct the flaglet transform on the ball through a harmonic tiling, which is exact thanks to the exactness of the Fourier-Laguerre transform (from which the name flaglets is coined). The corresponding wavelet kernels are well localised in real and Fourier-Laguerre spaces and their angular aperture is invariant under radial translation. We introduce a multiresolution algorithm to perform the flaglet transform rapidly, while capturing all information at each wavelet scale in the minimal number of samples on the ball. Our implementation of these new tools achieves floating-point precision and is made publicly available. We perform numerical experiments demonstrating the speed and accuracy of these libraries and illustrate their capabilities on a simple denoising example.

description: In the Cauchy problem for asymptotically flat vacuum data the solution-jets along the cylinder at space-like infinity develop in general logarithmic singularities at the critical sets at which the cylinder touches future/past null infinity. The tendency of these singularities to spread along the null generators of null infinity obstructs the development of a smooth conformal structure at null infinity. For the solution-jets arising from time reflection symmetric data to extend smoothly to the critical sets it is necessary that the Cotton tensor of the initial three-metric h satisfies a certain conformally invariant condition (*) at space-like infinity, it is sufficient that h be asymptotically static at space-like infinity. The purpose of this article is to characterize the gap between these conditions. We show that with the class of metrics which satisfy condition (*) on the Cotton tensor and a certain non-degeneracy requirement is associated a one-form $κ$ with conformally invariant differential $dκ$. We provide two criteria: If $h$ is real analytic, $κ$ is closed, and one of it integrals satisfies a certain equation then h is conformal to static data near space-like infinity. If h is smooth, $κ$ is asymptotically closed, and one of it integrals satisfies a certain equation asymptotically then h is asymptotically conformal to static data at space-like infinity.

By illuminating a metal cathode plate with a single near ultraviolet (UV) light emitting diode (LED), a spatially uniform electron beam with 15% variation over 1 cm2 can be generated. A uniform electric field in front of the cathode surface accelerates the electrons into a beam with an angular divergence of <1 degree at 1 keV. The beam intensity can be controlled from 10^9 electrons/cm2s.

description: We study the accretion process in the thin disk around a rotating non-Kerr black hole with a deformed parameter and an unbound rotation parameter. Our results show that the presence of the deformed parameter $ε$ modifies the standard properties of the disk. For the case in which the black hole is more oblate than a Kerr black hole, the larger deviation leads to the smaller energy flux, the lower radiation temperature and the fainter spectra luminosity in the disk. For the black hole with positive deformed parameter, we find that the effect of the deformed parameter on the disk becomes more complicated. It depends not only on the rotation direction of the black hole and the orbit particles, but also on the sign of the difference between the deformed parameter $ε$ and a certain critical value $ε_{c}$. These significant features in the mass accretion process may provide a possibility to test the no-hair theorem in the strong field regime in future astronomical observations.

description: Non-compact symmetries of extended 4d supergravities involve duality rotations of vectors and thus are not manifest off-shell invariances in standard "second-order" formulation. To study how such symmetries are realised in the quantum theory we consider examples in 2 dimensions where vector-vector duality is replaced by scalar-scalar one. Using a "doubled" formulation, where fields and their momenta are treated on an equal footing and the duality becomes a manifest symmetry of the action (at the expense of Lorentz symmetry), we argue that the corresponding on-shell quantum effective action or S-matrix are duality symmetric as well as Lorentz invariant. The simplest case of discrete Z_2 duality corresponds to a symmetry of the S-matrix under flipping the sign of the negative-chirality scalars in 2 dimensions or phase rotations of chiral (definite-helicity) parts of vectors in 4 dimensions. We also briefly discuss some 4d models and comment on implications of our analysis for extended supergravities.

description: Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of climate change on economic development in Bangladesh. More specifically, the research aims to figure out the influence of climate change on gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate related to different sectors such as agriculture, forest, water, health and infrastructure. It also attempts to explore the effect of climate change on the coastal economy of Bangladesh. Design/methodology/approach: A set of statistical and econometric techniques, including descriptive and correlation analysis and time series regression model, was applied to address the objective of the research. Sector-wise time series economic data were collected from the World Bank for the period between 1971 and 2013. Climate data were received from the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Council online database for the period between 1948 and 2013. Findings: The results from the statistical analysis show that climate variables such as temperature and rainfall have changed between 1948 and 2013 in the context of Bangladesh. The econometric regression analysis demonstrates that an increase by 1°C of annual mean temperature leads to a decrease in the GDP growth rate by 0.44 per cent on average, which is statistically significant at the 5 per cent level. On the other hand, the estimated coefficients of agriculture, industry, services, urbanization and export are positively associated with GDP growth rate, and these are statistically significant at the 1 per cent level. Sector-wise correlation analysis provides statistical evidence that climate change is negatively associated with various sectors, such as agriculture, forest, human health and arable land. In contrast, it has a positive relation to water access and electricity consumption. Analysis of coastal regions shows that climate change negatively affects the local economic sectors of the coastal zone of the country. Originality/value: Although this study has received significant insight from the world-renowned research publication “The Economics of Climate Change: The Stern Review”, there is a dearth of research on the economic impact of climate change in the context of Bangladesh. The findings of the paper provide deep insight into and comprehensive views of policy makers on the impact of climate change on economic growth and various sectors in Bangladesh.

Bell inequalities from variable elimination methods

description: Tight Bell inequalities are facets of Pitowsky's correlation polytope and are usually obtained from its extreme points by solving the hull problem. Here we present an alternative method based on a combination of algebraic results on extensions of measures and variable elimination methods, e.g., the Fourier-Motzkin method. Our method is shown to overcome some of the computational difficulties associated with the hull problem in some non-trivial cases. Moreover, it provides an explanation for the arising of only a finite number of families of Bell inequalities in measurement scenarios where one experimenter can choose between an arbitrary number of different measurements.

What are we saying and what are they learning : how language implies "competence" and professional identity in clinical medical education
Creators: name: Schrewe, Brett Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Gee (2005) notes that in enacting a socially recognizable identity, people integrate “language, actions, interactions, ways of thinking, believing, and valuing”. In order to do this, however, medical students must learn how to interpret broad swaths of information and grasp which “language, actions, interactions, ways of thinking, believing, and valuing” are considered relevant to their emerging professional identities. Although ethnographies of medical student learning have been previously undertaken, they have not studied how identity is emergent through everyday recurrent conversational interactions. An activity theory stance was used to conceptualize medical student learning on a paediatric clinical teaching unit as socially elaborated and continuously produced. Preceptor beliefs concerning desirable student qualities, case presentation content, and teaching practices were developed from thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews. Using these findings as a contextual frame, a microethnography was conducted to observe and record student case presentations and signover participation. Through a conversation analysis lens, these events were transcribed and read to understand how students’ language use changed regarding information organization and the degree and detail to which information was included. During early clinical training, medical students accommodate rapidly to normative speaking practices through repeated interactions with their preceptors. These enable them to “do being” a novice professional in legitimated ways and manifest the beginnings of professional communicative competence. Far from a faithful reproduction of professional competencies, however, performances of competence are critically dependent upon relationships and contexts. How students learn to talk about sick persons as patients in contextually relevant ways is not superficial mimicry of a certain vocabulary but rather a broader adoption of practices and participation in shared understandings enabling them to talk in certain ways. In so doing, they reproduce cultures of biomedical practice that foreground patients as problems to be solved, struggle to contextualize sickness in the wider lived experience of families, and may unintentionally dilute effects of initiatives such as family-centred rounds. Articulating how students learn to participate in sociocultural norms through language use is a critical first step towards deeper curricular reforms seeking to establish a more harmonious balance between practices of patient care and clinical medical education.

description: We propose a four dimensional description of Composite Higgs Models which represents a complete framework for the physics of the Higgs as a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson. Our setup captures all the relevant features of 5D models and more in general of composite Higgs models with partial compositeness. We focus on the minimal scenario where we include a single multiplet of resonances of the composite sector, as these will be the only degrees of freedom which might be accessible at the LHC. This turns out to be sufficient to compute the effective potential and derive phenomenological consequences of the theory. Moreover our simplified approach is well adapted to simulate these models at the LHC. We also consider the impact of non-minimal terms in the effective lagrangian which do not descend from a 5D theory and could be of phenomenological relevance, for example contributing to the S-parameter.

description: We study fundamental group of the exchange graphs for the bounded derived category D(Q) of a Dynkin quiver Q and the finite-dimensional derived category D(Γ_N Q) of the Calabi-Yau-N Ginzburg algebra associated to Q. In the case of D(Q), we prove that its space of stability conditions (in the sense of Bridgeland) is simply connected; as applications, we show that its Donanldson-Thomas invariant can be calculated via a quantum dilogarithm function on exchange graphs. In the case of D(Γ_N Q), we show that faithfulness of the Seidel-Thomas braid group action (which is known for Q of type A or N = 2) implies the simply connectedness of its space of stability conditions.

description: Based on a recent extension theorem for reflexive differential forms, that is, regular differential forms defined on the smooth locus of a possibly singular variety, we study the geometry and cohomology of sheaves of reflexive differentials. First, we generalise the extension theorem to holomorphic forms on locally algebraic complex spaces. We investigate the (non-)existence of reflexive pluri-differentials on singular rationally connected varieties, using a semistability analysis with respect to movable curve classes. The necessary foundational material concerning this stability notion is developed in an appendix to the paper. Moreover, we prove that Kodaira-Akizuki-Nakano vanishing for sheaves of reflexive differentials holds in certain extreme cases, and that it fails in general. Finally, topological and Hodge-theoretic properties of reflexive differentials are explored.

description: The growth of a rough and porous thin surface by deposition of randomly shaped clusters with different sizes over an initially flat linear substrate is simulated, using Monte Carlo technique. Unlike the ordinary Random Deposition, our approach results in aggregation of clusters which produces a porous bulk with correlation along the surface and the surface saturation occurs in long enough deposition times. The scaling exponents; the growth, roughness, and dynamic exponents are calculated based on the time scale. Moreover, the porosity and its dependency to the time and clusters size are also calculated. We also study the influence of clusters size on the scaling exponent, as well as on the global porosity.
