description: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has emerged globally as a significant public health/antimicrobial resistance nosocomial problem, both in human and veterinary medicine. In recent years, the so-called livestock-associated MRSA has become an additional focus. A literature review indicates few reports of MRSA in dairy cattle. Work from our laboratory supports previous studies indicating that MRSA is rare in milk of dairy cattle in the United States. Recent and sporadic isolation of MRSA and related staphylococci from cattle in countries other than the United States, and the similarity between some of the human and animal isolates found, provide rationale for monitoring MRSA occurrence in cattle. Considering the importance of S. aureus in human infectious disease, its highly contagious behavior among dairy cows, and the current gaps in knowledge about potential human-bovine connections, the epidemiology of MRSA (and other staphylococci) should represent an area of attention by the scientific community.

description: The impacts of local-scale temperatures and winds on bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) vary along a coastal gradient, while also being influenced by corresponding global-scale oceanic conditions. Around Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, BC, Canada, bull kelp floating canopies were mapped using high-resolution imagery from 2005 to 2022, whereas the largest kelp bed of the area was mapped with medium-resolution imagery spanning from 1972 to 2022. In order to understand spatial patterns of kelp resilience, the abiotic characteristics were used to organize the coastline into four clusters, ranging from the coldest and most exposed coast to a more sheltered and warmer location. Additionally, local-scale sea surface temperatures, winds, and marine heatwaves were categorized by global-scale temporal conditions defined by the positive/negative oceanic oscillations of the Oceanic Niño Index (ONI) and Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). Comparing spatial and temporal categories, we observed that years with positive ONI and PDO, in particular the 2014–2019 period, concentrated most of the marine heatwaves and the spring temperature peaks. However, there are some indications of an underlying long-term trend. During the period 2020–2022, when ONI and PDO were negative, summer temperatures kept increasing and wind displayed a higher frequency of extreme events. Mapped kelp showed different trends to these stressors: the coldest and most exposed area showed a constant presence of kelp during the entire period, even dating back to 1972. Warmer and semi-sheltered coasts increased in kelp percentage cover after the positive ONI+PDO period of 2014–2019, and the coasts facing the Strait of Georgia displayed a lower kelp percentage cover than the other clusters. In summary, bull kelp was resilient in the study area, but for different reasons: colder and more exposed coasts had the most favorable conditions for kelp, but warmer and more sheltered coastal kelp beds may have benefited from wind-wave forcing.
Chaotic quadruple secular evolution and the production of misaligned exomoons and Warm Jupiters in stellar multiples

description: We study the chaotic and secular evolution of hierarchical quadruple systems in the $3+1$ configuration, focusing on the evolution of mutual inclination of the inner binaries as the system undergoes coupled Lidov-Kozai (LK) oscillations. We include short-range forces (SRF; such as those due to tidal and rotational distortions) that control the eccentricity excitation of the inner binary. The evolution of mutual inclination is described, a priori, by two dimensionless parameters, $\pazocal{R}_0$, the ratio between the inner and outer LK time-scales and $ε_{SRF}$, the ratio between the SRF precession and the inner LK precession rates. We find that the chaotic zones for the mutual inclination depend mainly on $\pazocal{R}_0$, while $ε_{SRF}$ controls mainly the range of eccentricity excitation. The mutual inclination evolves chaotically for $1\lesssim \pazocal{R}_0\lesssim 10$, leading to large misalignments. For $0.4 \lesssim \pazocal{R}_0 \lesssim 0.8$, the system could be weakly excited and produce bimodal distribution of mutual inclination angles. Our results can be applied to exomoons-planets in stellar binaries and Warm/Hot Jupiters in stellar triples. Such systems could develop large mutual inclination angles if the inner binary is tight enough, and also high eccentricities, depending of the strength of the short-range forces. Future detections of tilted Warm/Hot Jupiters and exomoons could put our mechanism under observational tests.

description: With the success of the Chandra and XMM missions and the maturation of gravitational lensing techniques, powerful constraints on the orbital structure of cluster dark matter halos are possible. I show that the X-ray emissivity and mass of a galaxy cluster uniquely specify the anisotropy and velocity dispersion profiles of its dark matter halo. I consider hydrostatic as well as cooling flow scenarios, and apply the formalism to the lensing cluster CL0024+16 and the cooling flow cluster Abell 2199. In both cases, the model predicts a parameter-free velocity dispersion profile that is consistent with independent optical redshift surveys of the clusters.

description: The dynamic spatial redistribution of individuals is a key driving force of various spatiotemporal phenomena on geographical scales. It can synchronise populations of interacting species, stabilise them, and diversify gene pools [1-3]. Human travelling, e.g. is responsible for the geographical spread of human infectious disease [4-9]. In the light of increasing international trade, intensified human mobility and an imminent influenza A epidemic [10] the knowledge of dynamical and statistical properties of human travel is thus of fundamental importance. Despite its crucial role, a quantitative assessment of these properties on geographical scales remains elusive and the assumption that humans disperse diffusively still prevails in models. Here we report on a solid and quantitative assessment of human travelling statistics by analysing the circulation of bank notes in the United States. Based on a comprehensive dataset of over a million individual displacements we find that dispersal is anomalous in two ways. First, the distribution of travelling distances decays as a power law, indicating that trajectories of bank notes are reminiscent of scale free random walks known as Levy flights. Secondly, the probability of remaining in a small, spatially confined region for a time T is dominated by algebraically long tails which attenuate the superdiffusive spread. We show that human travelling behaviour can be described mathematically on many spatiotemporal scales by a two parameter continuous time random walk model to a surprising accuracy and conclude that human travel on geographical scales is an ambivalent effectively superdiffusive process.

description: Transient pump-probe optical reflectivity measurements of the nano/microsecond dynamics of a fully reversible, light-induced, surface-assisted metallization of gallium interfaced with silica are reported. The metallization leads to a considerable increase in the interface's reflectivity when solid a-gallium is on the verge of melting. The reflectivity change was found to be a cumulative effect that grows with light intensity and pulse duration. The reflectivity relaxes back to that of alpha-gallium when the excitation is withdrawn in a time that increases critically at gallium's melting point. The effect is attributed to a non-thermal light-induced structural phase transition.

description: In this thesis, I investigate the spatiotemporal variability and satellite-based estimates of snow depth on landfast first-year sea ice in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. Based on long-term in-situ measurement records of snow depth on sea ice, I present its seasonal and interannual trends and variability. I further investigate the contributing factors of snow accumulation on sea ice in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago under the context of warming temperatures and climate change. The mean seasonal rate of snow accumulation on sea ice from September to April is 3.2 ± 0.6 cm month-1 across the Canadian Arctic. Snow accumulates differently on sea ice and on land in autumn differ due to the lag between the freeze-up and the first snow of the season. To investigate satellite-based estimates of snow depth on landfast sea ice in the Canadian Arctic, I analyse near-coincidental satellite altimetric and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) acquisitions, as well as in-situ measurements of snow depth and snow properties collected during a dedicated campaign to compare field and satellite-based observations of the snow and ice conditions in Dease Strait, Nunavut. The elevation difference measured by the two altimeters demonstrates the variability of snow depth along the satellite acquisition track. A statistically significant correlation is found between SAR backscatter coefficients at C-band and altimetric backscatter coefficients at Ku-band, where there is low snow depth and a smooth ice surface topography.

These cSFGs are likely the direct progenitors of the compact quiescent galaxies observed at this epoch, which are the first population of passive galaxies to appear in large numbers in the early Universe. We identify cSFGs that host an AGN using a combination of Hubble WFC3 imaging and Chandra X-ray observations in four fields: the Chandra Deep Fields, the Extended Groth Strip, and the UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey field. We find that $39.2^{+3.9}_{-3.6}$\% (65/166) of cSFGs at $1.4

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: In this paper, we present the first extended catalogue of far-infrared fluxes of Galactic bubbles. Fluxes were estimated for 1814 bubbles, defined here as the `golden sample', and were selected from the Milky Way Project First Data Release (Simpson et al.) The golden sample was comprised of bubbles identified within the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) dataset (using 12- and 22-$μ$m images) and Herschel data (using 70-, 160-, 250-, 350- and 500-$μ$m wavelength images). Flux estimation was achieved initially via classical aperture photometry and then by an alternative image analysis algorithm that used active contours. The accuracy of the two methods was tested by comparing the estimated fluxes for a sample of bubbles, made up of 126 H II regions and 43 planetary nebulae, which were identified by Anderson et al. The results of this paper demonstrate that a good agreement between the two was found. This is by far the largest and most homogeneous catalogue of infrared fluxes measured for Galactic bubbles and it is a step towards the fully automated analysis of astronomical datasets.

description: If cluster dark matter is in the form of compact objects it will introduce fluctuations into the light curves of distant sources. Current searches for MACHOs in clusters of galaxies focus on monitoring quasars behind nearby systems. This paper considers the effect of such a compact population on the surface brightness distribution of giant gravitationally lensed arcs. As the microlensing optical depth is significant in these clusters, the expected fluctuations are substantial and are observable. Focusing on the giant arc seen in Abell 370, we demonstrate that several `extreme' events would be visible in a comparison of HST observations at two epochs. Utilizing NGST, long term monitoring should reveal a ubiquitous twinkling of brightness over the surface of the arcs.

description: Spectroscopic studies of ices in nearby star-forming regions indicate that ice mantles form on dust grains in two distinct steps, starting with polar ice formation (H2O rich) and switching to apolar ice (CO rich). We test how well the picture applies to more diffuse and quiescent clouds where the formation of the first layers of ice mantles can be witnessed. Medium-resolution near-infrared spectra are obtained toward background field stars behind the Pipe Nebula. The water ice absorption is positively detected at 3.0 micron in seven lines of sight out of 21 sources for which observed spectra are successfully reduced. The peak optical depth of the water ice is significantly lower than those in Taurus with the same visual extinction. The source with the highest water-ice optical depth shows CO ice absorption at 4.7 micron as well. The fractional abundance of CO ice with respect to water ice is 16+7-6 %, and about half as much as the values typically seen in low-mass star-forming regions. A small fractional abundance of CO ice is consistent with some of the existing simulations. Observations of CO2 ice in the early diffuse phase of a cloud play a decisive role in understanding the switching mechanism between polar and apolar ice formation.

We then apply these ideas to the “noun class” systems of Niger-Congo. We focus on non-canonical phenomena of poorly known languages, which attest to an unexpected systemic diversity beyond the well-known Bantu type and promise to change the synchronic and diachronic perspective on the gender systems of this family.

description: We present a comparative analysis of the properties of passive, star-forming and transition (green valley) galaxies, in four discrete environments: field, groups, the outskirts and the core of X-ray clusters. We construct samples of galaxies from the SDSS in these environments so that they are bound to have similar redshift distributions. The classification of galaxies into the three sequences is based on the UV-optical colour $NUV-r$. We study a number of galaxy properties: stellar mass, morphology, specific star formation rate and the history of star formation. The analysis of green valley galaxies reveals that the physical mechanisms responsible for external quenching become more efficient moving from the field to denser environments. We confirm previous findings that green valley galaxies have intermediate morphologies, moreover, we find that this appears to be independent of the environment. Regarding the stellar mass of green valley galaxies, we find that they tend to be more massive in the field than in denser environments. On average, green valley galaxies account for $\sim 20\%$ of all galaxies in groups and X-ray clusters. We find evidence that the field environment is inefficient in transforming low mass galaxies. Green valley galaxies have average star formation histories intermediate between passive and star forming galaxies, and have a clear and consistent dependence on the environment: both, the quenching time, and the amplitude of the star formation rate, decrease towards higher density environments.

description: The thermal lines method for the evaluation of vibrational expectation values of electronic observables [B. Monserrat, Phys. Rev. B 93, 014302 (2016)] was recently proposed as a physically motivated approximation offering balance between the accuracy of direct Monte Carlo integration and the low computational cost of using local quadratic approximations. In this paper we reformulate thermal lines as a stochastic implementation of quadrature grid integration, analyze the analytical form of its bias, and extend the method to multiple point quadrature grids applicable to any factorizable harmonic or anharmonic nuclear wave function. The bias incurred by thermal lines is found to depend on the local form of the expectation value, and we demonstrate that the use of finer quadrature grids along selected modes can eliminate this bias, while still offering a ~30% lower computational cost than direct Monte Carlo integration in our tests.

description: We demonstrate that "moderate" departures from the no-slip hydrodynamic boundary condition (hydrodynamic slip lengths in the nanometer range) can result in a very large enhancement - up to two orders of magnitude- of most interfacially driven transport phenomena. We study analytically and numerically the case of neutral solute diffusio-osmosis in a slab geometry to account for non-trivial couplings between interfacial structure and hydrodynamic slip. Possible outcomes are fast transport of particles in externally applied or self-generated gradient, and flow enhancement in nano- or micro-fluidic geometries.

description: High-dimensional partial differential equations (PDE) appear in a number of models from the financial industry, such as in derivative pricing models, credit valuation adjustment (CVA) models, or portfolio optimization models. The PDEs in such applications are high-dimensional as the dimension corresponds to the number of financial assets in a portfolio. Moreover, such PDEs are often fully nonlinear due to the need to incorporate certain nonlinear phenomena in the model such as default risks, transaction costs, volatility uncertainty (Knightian uncertainty), or trading constraints in the model. Such high-dimensional fully nonlinear PDEs are exceedingly difficult to solve as the computational effort for standard approximation methods grows exponentially with the dimension. In this work we propose a new method for solving high-dimensional fully nonlinear second-order PDEs. Our method can in particular be used to sample from high-dimensional nonlinear expectations. The method is based on (i) a connection between fully nonlinear second-order PDEs and second-order backward stochastic differential equations (2BSDEs), (ii) a merged formulation of the PDE and the 2BSDE problem, (iii) a temporal forward discretization of the 2BSDE and a spatial approximation via deep neural nets, and (iv) a stochastic gradient descent-type optimization procedure. Numerical results obtained using ${\rm T{\small ENSOR}F{\small LOW}}$ in ${\rm P{\small YTHON}}$ illustrate the efficiency and the accuracy of the method in the cases of a $100$-dimensional Black-Scholes-Barenblatt equation, a $100$-dimensional Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation, and a nonlinear expectation of a $ 100 $-dimensional $ G $-Brownian motion.

title: High-fat diet promotes a systemic Il-17 immune response and exacerbates psoriasis-like murine dermatitis

description: Obesity has been found to be increasing significantly during the last decades all over the world. Although obesity is known to be associated with several debilitating conditions such as diabetes and heart disease, the role of obesity in autoimmune disease remains to be fully characterized. Furthermore, although closely related with obesity, the role of diet and the intestinal microbiome in autoimmune diseases is of rising interest. This work aimed at elucidating the relationship between obesity, diet and the intestinal microbiome in the autoimmune disease psoriasis. In order to do this, the diet induced obesity model was used and mice were fed a high-fat diet over several weeks. Psoriasis like murine dermatitis was then induced in these mice by topical treatment with imiquimod on the ear for 3 days. Furthermore, the impact of the intestinal microbiome was investigated by depleting the microbiome with vancomycin in mice fed either a high-fat or a normal diet followed by treating them with imiquimod. It was found that high-fat diet feeding resulted in an increase in body weight and the high-fat diet fed mice were found to have an increased ear and skin thickness following imiquimod treatment. Increased levels of T-cells and granulocytes as well as increased mRNA levels of Il17 were also found in the ears of imiquimod treated mice fed a high-fat diet. This effect was found to be associated with dietary fat, but not carbohydrate or protein. Furthermore, high-fat diet feeding was found to promote the development of psoriasis like murine dermatitis through an intestinal microbiome mediated mechanism. Mechanistically, dietary fat induced a systemic inflammation characterized by increased levels of systemic IL-17. The most significant source of this systemic inflammation was attributed to IL-17 production by splenic pools of IL-17 producing lymphocytes, specifically γδ T-cells, as well as αβ T- cells in the mesenteric lymph node. It was found that high-fat diet feeding alone, without topical treatment with imiquimod, was sufficient to induce the production of IL-17 by the γδ T-cells in the spleen as well as mild signs of dermatitis. Also, it was found that treatment with vancomycin, an antibiotic which has very low oral bioavailability, rescues the high-fat diet induced psoriasis like murine dermatitis, however stool transfer from high-fat diet to regular diet fed mice was insufficient in order to aggravate the dermatitis. Furthermore, 6observations were made that high-fat diet induces a deficiency in the intestinal glycocalyx matrix but not intestinal permeability or intestinal inflammatory cytokine production. Lastly it was found that supplementation with Akkermansia muciniphila was able to ameliorate the high- fat diet induced psoriasis like murine dermatitis. In conclusion significant amounts of dietary fat results in systemic inflammation and this effect is attributed to defects in the intestinal barrier.

description: We examine the various linkings in space-time of ``ball-like'' and ``ring-like'' topological solitons in certain nonlinear sigma models in 2+1 and 3+1 dimensions. By going to theories where soliton overlaps are forbidden, these linkings become homotopically nontrivial and can be studied by investigating the topology of the corresponding configuration spaces. Our analysis reveals the existence of topological terms which give the linking number of the world-tubes of distinct species of ball solitons in 2+1 dimensions, or which in 3+1 dimensions count the number of times a ball or ring soliton threads through the center of a ring of a different species. We explicitly construct these terms for our models, and generalize them to cases where soliton overlaps are no longer strictly forbidden so the terms are no longer purely topological. One of the (3+1)-dimensional theories we consider also has topological solitons which consist of two rings (of distinct species) linked in space.

iota Horologii is unlikely to be an evaporated Hyades star

description: We present a high-precision chemical analysis of iota Horologii, a planet-host field star thought to have formed in the Hyades. Elements with atomic number 6<=Z<=30 have abundances that are in excellent agreement with those of the cluster within the +/-0.01 dex (or ~2%) precision errors. Heavier elements show a range of abundances such that about half of the Z>30 species analyzed are consistent with those of the Hyades, while the other half are marginally enhanced by 0.03+/-0.01 dex (~7+/-2%). The lithium abundance, A(Li), is very low compared to the well-defined A(Li)-Teff relation of the cluster. For its Teff, iota Horologii's lithium content is about half the Hyades'. Attributing the enhanced lithium depletion to the planet would require a peculiar rotation rate, which we are unable to confirm. Our analysis of the star's chromospheric activity suggests Prot=5d, which is significantly shorter than previously reported. Models of Galactic orbits place iota Horologii hundreds of parsecs away from the Hyades cluster at formation. Thus, we find the claim of a shared birthplace very difficult to justify.

description: In the field of Music Information Retrieval (MIR), the decomposition of a music recording into its constituent sound sources, referred to as source separation, is relevant to a broad spectrum of tasks and applications, such as supporting music analysis, creating karaoke systems, aiding in music production, and facilitating music transcription. In this thesis, we address the novel and previously unexplored source separation task of decomposing piano concerto recordings into individual piano and orchestral tracks. As a genre of central importance in Western classical music, practicing and performing piano concertos is an essential aspect of a pianist’s education and professional journey. However, only first-class pianists have the opportunity to actually perform with an orchestra. Addressing the lack of orchestral accompaniments for pianists of any level, we aim to extract orchestral tracks from piano concerto recordings. As one main contribution of this thesis, we adapt deep-learning-based source separation techniques, initially designed for the separation of popular music recordings or speech signals. In particular, we address the challenge of higher spectro–temporal correlations between piano and orchestra compared to popular music tracks, and the lack of multitrack datasets for training, by introducing musically motivated data augmentation approaches. Another main contribution of this thesis is the creation of a multitrack dataset of piano concertos. This dataset encompasses a collection of excerpts with separate orchestral and piano tracks, performed by both professional and amateur pianists. To create these temporally synchronized multitrack recordings, we used pre-existing orchestral accompaniments provided by Music Minus One (MMO) and applied semi-automatic techniques, such as beat tracking and music synchronization. The broad scope of our dataset not only serves as a valuable resource for both quantitative and subjective evaluation of source separation models but also opens up various possibilities for other MIR applications, including score following, downbeat estimation, and music synchronization. As a third main contribution, we split the separated piano tracks into notewise events using score-informed nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF). In particular, we apply this audio decomposition technique for evaluating source separation results of piano tracks introducing a notewise signal-to-distortion ratio (SDR) measure to gain deeper insights into various source separation artifacts. Overall, this thesis not only addresses a novel challenge in MIR but also enhances the way pianists can interact with classical music performances.

description: Polyaniline (PANI)/Silicon carbide (SiC) composites were prepared by emulsion polymerization using sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDS) and ammonium persulfate (APS) as emulsifier and oxidant respectively. The structure and morphology of the composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). XRD analysis showed the presence of PANI and SiC in the composite. PANI andSiC.FTIR studied established interaction between PANI and SiC in PANI/SiC composite.TEM results indicated that SiC is dispersed on surface of PANI. Microwave absorbing properties were investigated by measuring complex permittivity and complex permeability at 26.5– 40 GHz. These results showed that the EMI shielding (EMI SE) properties of PANI/SiC composites exhibited maximum EMI SE of 26.3 dB compared to with pure SiC making is most suitable as radar absorbing material for technological application.
