description: Cognitive deficits are prevalent after transient ischaemic attack (TIA) and result in loss of function, poorer quality of life and increased risks of dependency and mortality. This systematic review aimed to synthesise the available evidence on cognitive assessment in TIA patients to determine the prevalence of cognitive deficits, and the optimal tests for cognitive assessment. Medline, Embase, PsychINFO and CINAHL databases were searched for relevant articles. Articles were screened by title and abstract. Full-text analysis and quality assessment was performed using the National Institute of Health Tool. Data were extracted on study characteristics, prevalence of TIA deficits, and key study findings. Due to significant heterogeneity, meta-analysis was not possible. Twenty-five full-text articles met the review inclusion criteria. There was significant heterogeneity in terms of cognitive tests used, definitions of cognitive impairment and TIA, time points post-event, and analysis methods. The majority of studies used the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) or Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) (n = 23). Prevalence of cognitive impairment ranged from 2% to 100%, depending on the time-point and cognitive domain studied. The MoCA was more sensitive than the MMSE for identifying cognitive deficits. Deficits were common in executive function, attention, and language. No studies assessed diagnostic test accuracy against a reference standard diagnosis of cognitive impairment. Recommendations on cognitive testing after TIA are hampered by significant heterogeneity between studies, as well as a lack of diagnostic test accuracy studies. Future research should focus on harmonising tools, definitions, and time-points, and validating tools specifically for the TIA population.

description: The rapid neutron-capture process, creating about half of the heaviest elements in the Solar System was believed to be unique. Many recent studies have shown that this does not include the formation of lighter elements (in particular 38 < Z < 48). Among those, palladium (Pd) and especially silver (Ag) are expected to be key indicators of a possible second r-process, but until recently they have been studied only in a few stars. Therefore we target Pd and Ag in a large sample of stars and compare these abundances to those of Sr, Y, Zr, Ba and Eu produced by the slow (s-) and rapid (r-) neutron-capture processes. Hereby we investigate the nature of the formation process of Ag and Pd. Through a homogeneous 1D LTE analysis of 71 stars we derive stellar abundances using the spectrum synthesis code MOOG, and MARCS model atmospheres. We calculate abundance ratio trends and compare the derived abundances to site-dependent yield predictions (low mass O-Ne-Mg cc SN, and parametrised high entropy winds), to extract characteristics of the second r-process. The abundance ratios of the heavy elements yield correlations and anti-correlations. These trends lead to clear indications of the existence of a second/weak r-process, responsible for the formation of Pd and Ag. By comparing to the model predictions, we find that the conditions under which this process takes place differ from the main r-process in needing lower neutron number densities, neutron-to-seed ratios, entropies and/or favour higher electron abundances. Our analysis confirms that Pd and Ag form via a r-process that differs from the main r-process, the main and weak s-processes, and charged particle freeze-outs. This process is efficiently working down to [Fe/H] = -3.3 (where our sample ends). Our results may indicate that a combination of these explosive sites is needed to explain the observationally-derived abundance patterns.

The role of protein tyrosine phosphatase alpha tyrosine 789 phosphorylation in integrin signaling
Creators: name: Sun, Guobin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Focal adhesions (FA) form interfaces between the extracellular matrix and the cytoskeleton to regulate cell responses such as cell proliferation, survival, and migration. The functions and dynamic interactions of many of the ~180 molecules in this integrin-initiated FA complex network are far from fully understood. Among these is the receptor-like protein tyrosine phosphatase PTPα. In addition to the integrin-proximal action of PTPα to catalyze activation of Src family kinases, subsequent phosphorylation of PTPα at its C-terminal Tyr789 site is essential and acts in an unknown manner to promote cell spreading and migration. We used reconstitution assays in PTPα-null cells to identify and distinguish integrin signaling events that were PTPα-dependent and PTPα-Tyr789-dependent. Results show that PTPα-Tyr789 mediates the localization of PTPα and the scaffolding protein Cas to FAs where Cas interacts with and gets phosphorylated by Src to initiate Cas/Crk-Rac/Cdc42-PAK signaling. Linking these events, this study identifies the Cas-binding protein BCAR3 as a molecular connector of PTPα and Cas, with phosphoTyr789-PTPα interacting with the BCAR3 SH2 domain to recruit BCAR3-Cas to newly forming adhesion sites. These findings identify phospho-Tyr789-PTPα as the first cellular ligand for the SH2 domain of BCAR3, and reveal a role of PTPα in integrin-induced adhesion complex assembly that enables Src-mediated activation of the pivotal function of Cas in cell migration. Furthermore I extended this study into a cancer cell model by showing that the disruption of this PTPα-BCAR3-Cas-Src signaling module inhibits the invasive motility in a rhabdomyosarcoma cell line. In summary, my results in this thesis elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying the PTPα-Tyr789-dependent cell spreading and migration, and support that the PTPα-BCAR3-Cas complex is a critical regulator of cell migration as well as cancer cell invasion and metastasis.
Hydrogen and Metal Line Absorption Around Low-Redshift Galaxies in Cosmological Hydrodynamic Simulations

description: We study the physical conditions of the circum-galactic medium (CGM) around z=0.25 galaxies as traced by HI and metal line absorption, using cosmological hydrodynamic simulations that include galactic outflows. Using lines of sight targeted at impact parameters from 10 kpc to 1 Mpc around galaxies with halo masses from 10^11-10^13 M_solar, we study the physical conditions and their variation with impact parameter b and line-of-sight velocity delta v in the CGM as traced by HI, MgII, SiIV, CIV, OVI, and NeVIII absorbers. All ions show a strong excess of absorption near galaxies compared to random lines of sight. The excess continues beyond 1 Mpc, reflecting the correlation of metal absorption with large-scale structure. Absorption is particularly enhanced within about v<300 km/sec and roughly 300 kpc of galaxies (with distances somewhat larger for the highest ion), approximately delineating the CGM; this range contains the majority of global metal absorption. Low ions like MgII and SiIV predominantly arise in denser gas closer to galaxies and drop more rapidly with b, while high ions OVI and NeVIII trace more diffusely distributed gas with a comparatively flat radial profile; CIV is intermediate. All ions predominantly trace T~10^4-4.5 K photo-ionised gas at all b, but when hot CGM gas is present (mostly in larger halos), we see strong collisionally-ionised OVI and NeVIII at b <= 100 kpc. Larger halo masses generally produce more absorption, though overall the trends are not as strong as that with impact parameter. These findings arise using our favoured outflow scalings as expected for momentum-driven winds; with no winds, the CGM gas remains mostly unenriched, while our outflow model with a constant velocity and mass loading factor produce hotter, more widely dispersed metals.

Publisher: name: IOP Publishing
Year: 2024

description: Thin gas-driven liquid films find numerous industrial applications. They are used for fuel preparation in airblast atomizers of modern gas turbines. Strong shear forces at the gas-liquid interface destabilize the liquid-gas interface and lead to development of interfacial waves. In this study, the heat transfer in liquid films driven by turbulent gas flow is investigated experimentally over a wide range of parameters. A liquid film is formed on vertical heated unstructured and micro-structured tubes. The Reynolds number of the gas flow is varied between 10⁴ and 10⁵, and the Reynolds number of the liquid film flow is varied between 80 and 800. Wall heat fluxes up to 30 W/cm² are applied. The heat transfer coefficient strongly depends on the gas and liquid Reynolds numbers. Using the micro-structured tube leads to a heat transfer enhancement of up to 80 %.

A modifed version of the defensive burying paradigm exposes group differences in behavior, vasopressin and c-fos expression in testosterone-replaced rats
Creators: name: Maynard, Kyle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Testosterone has been shown to have marked effects on different types of coping behaviors. The current study was done to test the capacity by which testosterone alters the amount of defensive burying in the defensive burying paradigm. Twenty high and twenty low testosterone-replaced (T), castrated rats were used to determine the effects of testosterone using a modified version of the defensive burying paradigm. Rats were exposed to either a remotely triggered mousetrap (snap), or neutral trap (yoke), creating four groups; high-T snap, high-T yoke, low-T snap and low-T yoke. Under habituation conditions, both high- and low-T replacement groups show a characteristic behavioral profile that indicated they habituated. As a function of testosterone replacement, animals showed significantly less burying but more rearing with high-T compared to low-T replacement (p = 0.004 and p = 0.02, respectively). Under aversive trap conditions, testosterone showed a general effect to decrease burying behavior. Testosterone affected rearing behavior that was highest within high-T groups and with direct exposure to the snap. There were limited neurochemical effects of testosterone other than a significant increase in vasopressin mRNA expression in high-T compared to low-T animals in both the medial amygdala and posterior bed nucleus of the stria terminalis. In addition, animals that were exposed to either test condition showed higher c-Fos activation in the septum compared to transport controls. These results show that high testosterone replacement can reduce signs of neophobia, alter the magnitude of adaptable behaviors and promote proactive exploration under aversive conditions.

description: We consider the recently proposed "no-go" theorem of Lamata et al [Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 180506 (2008)] on the impossibility of sequential implementation of global unitary operations with the aid of an itinerant ancillary system and view the claim within the language of Kraus representation. By virtue of an extremely useful tool for analyzing entanglement properties of quantum operations, namely, operator-Schmidt decomposition, we provide alternative proof to the "no-go" theorem and also study the role of initial correlations between the qubits and ancilla in sequential preparation of unitary entanglers. Despite the negative response from the "no-go" theorem, we demonstrate explicitly how the matrix-product operator(MPO) formalism provides a flexible structure to develop protocols for sequential implementation of such entanglers with an optimal fidelity. The proposed numerical technique, that we call variational matrix-product operator (VMPO), offers a computationally efficient tool for characterizing the "globalness" and entangling capabilities of nonlocal unitary operations.

description: Test anxiety is a distinct fear of exams that is highly upsetting and can seriously impair academic performance and generate negative behavioural, physiological, and emotional responses. Numerous methods are available for managing and reducing test anxiety. This review examined the effectiveness of hypnosis in reducing test anxiety among students. Five databases were searched for articles published between 2000 and 2021: Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, EBSCOhost, and SAGE. The electronic search identified 445 studies, of which 12 studies with 515 students met the eligibility requirements. The reviewed hypnosis intervention studies were highly diverse. Overall, the findings show that hypnosis helps decrease test anxiety among students. Further rigorous research with extended follow-up periods is required to fully understand the potential of hypnosis. Importantly, hypnosis interventions can be used to address students’ specific test anxiety conditions in schools and universities.
Structure Theory for Extended Kepler-Coulomb 3D Classical Superintegrable Systems

description: The classical Kepler-Coulomb system in 3 dimensions is well known to be 2nd order superintegrable, with a symmetry algebra that closes polynomially under Poisson brackets. This polynomial closure is typical for 2nd order superintegrable systems in 2D and for 2nd order systems in 3D with nondegenerate (4-parameter) potentials. However the degenerate 3-parameter potential for the 3D extended Kepler-Coulomb system (also 2nd order superintegrable) is an exception, as its quadratic symmetry algebra doesn't close polynomially. The 3D 4-parameter potential for the extended Kepler-Coulomb system is not even 2nd order superintegrable. However, Verrier and Evans (2008) showed it was 4th order superintegrable, and Tanoudis and Daskaloyannis (2011) showed that in the quantum case, if a second 4th order symmetry is added to the generators, the double commutators in the symmetry algebra close polynomially. Here, based on the Tremblay, Turbiner and Winternitz construction, we consider an infinite class of classical extended Kepler-Coulomb 3- and 4-parameter systems indexed by a pair of rational numbers $(k_1,k_2)$ and reducing to the usual systems when $k_1=k_2=1$. We show these systems to be superintegrable of arbitrarily high order and work out explicitly the structure of the symmetry algebras determined by the 5 basis generators we have constructed. We demonstrate that the symmetry algebras close rationally; only for systems admitting extra discrete symmetries is polynomial closure achieved. Underlying the structure theory is the existence of raising and lowering constants of the motion, not themselves polynomials in the momenta, that can be employed to construct the polynomial symmetries and their structure relations.

description: Substantial research in symptom perception demonstrates symptoms are influenced by a wide range of psychological factors. However, there is limited understanding of the broader milieu of bodily states within which symptoms exist, including emotions, sensations and “pre-symptoms”. Furthermore, little is known about how bodily states are experienced and translated into symptoms. Semi-structured interviews with 12 participants explored how individuals experience, describe and understand their bodily states in addition to how bodily states are translated into symptoms and how this transition was experienced. Thematic Analysis described four main themes in relation to; i) “The qualia of bodily states”, individuals’ description and understanding of how bodily states “feel”; ii) “Attending to bodily states”, how attention to bodily states could differ between individuals and in certain contexts; iii) “Becoming symptoms”, understanding of normality and its deviations and finding meaning could play a role in transition of states to symptoms; iv)“Reifying symptoms”, how individuals communicated, verbally and non-verbally, abstract lived experience of bodily states to the self and others. A transcending theme, “A series of thresholds” encompassed how bodily states surpass a threshold to become a symptom and the involvement of individual differences such as attention, emotions, expectations and finding meaning. Symptoms may arise when a bodily state surpasses a series of thresholds which may be lowered or raised. There is a critical need to consolidate understanding of bodily states and symptoms within a research context and for greater appreciation of the nuanced, complex and varied nature of bodily states beyond “symptoms”.

description: La modalità plurilingue della comunicazione in classi di lingua straniera può rientrare tra le strategie pedagogiche a disposizione dell’insegnante per il raggiungimento di precisi scopi didattici e formativi. Partendo da una breve analisi sul significato di parlante plurilingue e plurilinguismo stesso, in questo articolo si è voluto esaminare come si attua una educazione al plurilinguismo in contesti formativi e, in particolare, se e come l’utilizzo della L1 può costituire uno strumento di supporto all’insegnamento e all’apprendimento di una lingua straniera. A questo scopo sono stati analizzati i dati raccolti presso l’Università di Coventry durante corsi di italiano L2 per studenti anglofoni. I fenomeni di contatto linguistico L1/L2 più frequenti e significativi sono stati suddivisi in base al parlante e alle loro funzioni.

Bank loan covenants, lending relationships and covenant violations

description: Using a large sample of U.S. corporate bank loans, we investigate the influence of lending relationships on loan covenants and covenant violations. Consistent with the information asymmetry argument, we find that lending relationships substitute for financial covenants in loan contracts. In addition, the effect of lending relationship intensity on the total number of financial covenants included in a loan package is U-shaped.
 It appears that lending relationship intensity acts as an indicator of covenant violations. Specifically, an increasing lending relationship intensity decreases the likelihood of covenant violations, but relationship borrowers who have access to the public debt market or are of a large size in their industry are subject to a high probability of covenant violations. Overall, relationship borrowers with different levels of relationship intensity and financing capacity are subject to a distinct probability of covenant violations.

L$^*$-algebras are Lie algebras with a pleasant Hilbert space structure.

description: Die Verdienste von Vätern, die nach der Geburt ihres ersten Kindes Elternzeit nehmen, steigen in den darauffolgenden Jahren im Schnitt etwas langsamer als die Verdienste von Vätern, die auf Elternzeit verzichten. Dies hängt stark damit zusammen, dass insbesondere Väter, die mehr als zwei Monate in Elternzeit gehen, danach zum Beispiel häufiger in Teilzeit arbeiten.

description: We estimate the masses of elliptical galaxies out to five effective radii using planetary nebulae and globular clusters as tracers. A sample of 15 elliptical galaxies with a broad variation in mass is compiled from the literature. A distribution function-maximum likelihood analysis is used to estimate the overall potential slope, normalisation and velocity anisotropy of the tracers. We assume power-law profiles for the potential and tracer density and a constant velocity anisotropy. The derived potential power-law indices lie in between the isothermal and Keplerian regime and vary with mass: there is tentative evidence that the less massive galaxies have steeper potential profiles than the more massive galaxies. We use stellar mass-to-light ratios appropriate for either a Chabrier/KTG (Kroupa, Tout & Gilmore) or Salpeter initial mass function to disentangle the stellar and dark matter components. The fraction of dark matter within five effective radii increases with mass, in agreement with several other studies. We employ simple models to show that a combination of star formation efficiency and baryon extent are able to account for this trend. These models are in good agreement with both our measurements out to five effective radii and recent SLACS measurements within one effective radii when a universal Chabrier/KTG initial mass function is adopted.

description: We describe the development of two circularly symmetric antennas with high polarization purity and low spillover. Both were designed to be used in an all-sky polarization and intensity survey at 5 GHz (the C-Band All-Sky Survey, C-BASS). The survey requirements call for very low levels of cross-polar leakage and far-out sidelobes. Two different existing antennas, with 6.1-m and 7.6-m diameter primaries, were adapted by replacing the feed and secondary optics, resulting in identical beam performances of 0.73deg FWHM, cross-polarization better than -50 dB, and far-out sidelobes below -70 dB. The polarization purity was realized by using a symmetric low-loss dielectric foam support structure for the secondary mirror, avoiding the need for secondary support struts. Ground spill-over was largely reduced by using absorbing baffles around the primary and secondary mirrors, and by the use of a low-sidelobe profiled corrugated feedhorn. The 6.1-m antenna and receiver have been completed and test results show that the optics meet their design goals.

Supersymmetric isospectral formalism for the calculation of near-zero energy states: application to the very weakly bound ${^4}$He trimer excited state

description: We propose a novel mathematical approach for the calculation of near-zero energy states by solving potentials which are isospectral with the original one. For any potential, families of strictly isospectral potentials (with very different shape) having desirable and adjustable features are generated by supersymmetric isospectral formalism. The near-zero energy Efimov state in the original potential is effectively trapped in the deep well of the isospectral family and facilitates more accurate calculation of the Efimov state. Application to the first excited state in 4He trimer is presented.

description: We study the spontaneously induced general relativity (GR) from the scalar-tensor gravity. We demonstrate by numerical methods that a novel inner core can be connected to the Schwarzschild exterior with cosmological constants and any sectional curvature. Deriving an analytic core metric for a general exterior, we show that all the nontrivial features of the core, including the locally holographic entropy packing, are universal for the general exterior in static spacetimes. We also investigate whether the f(R) gravity can accommodate the nontrivial core.
