description: Understanding the nucleation and growth of polycrystalline thin films is a long-standing goal. Polycrystalline films have many grains with different orientations that affect thin-film properties. Numerous studies have been done to determine these grain size and their preferred crystallographic orientation as well as stress in films. However most past studies have either employed an ex-situ methodology or only monitor the development of macroscopic stress in real-time. There has never been any research done on the simultaneous determination of crystallographic texture, grain size, and microscopic stress in polycrystalline thin films. In this study, we simultaneously monitored the generation and temporal evolution of texture, grain size, and internal stress in cathodic arc evaporated Al0.50Ti0.50N thin films using a bespoke deposition apparatus designed for use with 2-dimensional synchrotron x-ray diffraction technique. The influence of the substrate temperature is investigated in terms of the emergence and development of texture, grain size and stress evolution. A dynamic evolution of the crystallographic texture is observed as the overall film thickness varies. We clearly resolved two regime of films growth based on stress evolution. Beyond a threshold grain size (~ 14 nm), the stress scales inversely to the average grain sizes, and as the film thickness increases, immediate compressive stress relaxation was seen. An extensive ex-situ evaluation of thin films using electron microscopies and electron diffraction was performed to support the in-situ x-ray diffraction results.

description: In this paper we will analyse a noncommutative deformation of the ABJM theory in N=1 superspace formalism. We will then analyse the BRST and the anti-BRST symmetries for this deformed ABJM theory, in linear as well as non-linear gauges. We will show that the sum of gauge fixing term and the ghost term for this deformed ABJM theory can be expressed as a combination of the total BRST and the total anti-BRST variation, in Landau and non-linear gauges. We will show that in Landau and Curci-Ferrari gauges this deformed ABJM theory is invariant under a additional set of symmetry transformations. We will also discuss the effect that the addition of a bare mass term has on this theory.

The failure of antihomophobia education : embracing the hope of an impossible future
Creators: name: MacIntosh, Lori B.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: In recent years academic attention, educational resources and popular media have turned to the issue of homophobia in schools and the violence facing LGBT youth and those perceived to be LGBT. Consequently there has been an increase in the development of curricula and other pedagogical tools meant to address the problem of homophobia. Yet there has been very little qualitative data exploring the success of these pedagogies, or the implications and efficacy of these programs for LGBT students. This qualitative extended case study addresses this analytical gap through an examination of the media and educational discourses employed by one urban community organization in Vancouver, Canada and the youth filmmakers with whom they work. The organization, Out in Schools, takes film, much of it youth produced, into educational settings throughout British Columbia in the hopes of breaking the silence surrounding gender and sexual diversity. In addition, they run a one-week filmmaking camp for aspiring youth filmmakers. This project utilises a number of ethnographic methods including participant observation, face-to-face interviewing, and researcher fieldnote reflections. Participants include adult facilitators, teachers, and youth filmmakers. Interviews took place over a three-year period. The theoretical framework for this research is largely poststructural drawing extensively from queer and feminist theories. As part of this project’s theoretical investigation, I juxtapose the voice of queer youth and queer youth media production alongside the larger narratives of queer and neoliberal politics. Analysis revealed that the messaging of antihomophobia education has influenced and limited the ways in which Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer youth are able to articulate queer identities. This study concludes that antihomophobia education is largely a normative project, that it is wholly implicated in discourses that arise from heteronormativity, informed by liberal understandings of individualism that invariably identifies the queer victim as a way of negating responsibility. Lastly, through a synthesis of data and analysis, I investigate the future of queerness within educational discourse, and drawing upon the work of Muñoz (2009), Duggan (2002, 2009), Bruhm & Hurley (2004), Bryson and MacIntosh (2010), I advance a notion of queer futurity in educational spaces.

description: Background: Gut and oral microbiota are intrinsically linked to human health. Recent studies suggest a direct link with mental health through bidirectional gut–brain pathways. Emerging evidence suggests that the composition and/or function of intestinal microbiome differs in those with psychosis and schizophrenia as compared with controls. There is relatively little research on the predicted or actual functional alterations associated with the composition of oral and gut microbiota in patients with psychosis. We will perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to identify, evaluate and if possible, combine the published literature on compositional alterations in the oral and gut microbiota in patients with psychosis or schizophrenia compared with healthy controls. We also aim to explore the potential functional impact of any compositional changes. Methods: Original studies involving humans and animals using a case-control, cohort or cross-sectional design will be included. The electronic databases PsycINFO, EMBASE, Web of Science, PubMed/MEDLINE and Cochrane will be systematically searched. Quantitative analyses will be performed using random-effects meta-analyses to calculate mean difference with 95% confidence intervals. Discussion: Changes in microbiota composition in psychosis and schizophrenia have been correlated with alternations in brain structure and function, altered immunity, altered metabolic pathways and symptom severity. Changes have also been identified as potential biomarkers for psychosis that might aid in diagnosis. Understanding how predicted or actual functional alterations in microbial genes or metabolic pathways influence symptomatic expression and downstream clinical outcomes may contribute to the development of microbiome targeted interventions for psychosis.

description: The DPP-4 enzyme degrades incretin hormones GLP-1 and GIP. DPP-4 inhibitors are found effective in the prevention of the degradation of incretins. Xanthine scaffold-bearing molecules are reported as potential DPP-4 inhibitors for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus, e.g. the marketed drug linagliptin. In this work, structure-guided alignment-dependent atom- and Gaussian field-based 3D-QSAR have been performed on a dataset of 75 molecules. The robustness and predictive ability of the developed multifacet 3D-QSAR models were validated on different statistical parameters and found to be statistically fit. The favorable and unfavorable pharmacophoric features were mapped for each multifacet 3D-QSAR model based on three alignment sets (1–3). A five-point common pharmacophore hypothesis was generated separately for each set of alignments. The molecular dynamics simulations (up to 100 ns) were performed for the potent molecule from each alignment set (Compounds 12, 40 and 57) compared to reference standard linagliptin to study the binding energy and stability of target-ligand complexes. The MM-PBSA calculations revealed that the binding free energy and stability of compounds 12 (−40.324 ± 17.876 kJ/mol), 40 (−80.543 ± 21.782 kJ/mol) and 57 (−50.202 ± 16.055 kJ/mol) were better than the reference drug linagliptin (−20.390 ± 63.200 kJ/mol). The generated contour maps from structure-guided alignment-dependent multifacet 3D-QSAR models offer information about the structure–activity relationship (SAR) and ligand-target binding energy and stability data from MD simulation may be utilized to design and develop target selective xanthine-based novel DPP-4 inhibitors.

Supersymmetric Axion-Neutrino Model with a Higgs Hybrid
Creators: name: Ma, Ernest
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In 2001, a supersymmetric model was proposed to relate the axion scale to that of neutrino mass seesaw. Whereas this scenario is realistic, the particles associated with this mechanism are either too heavy or too weakly coupled for them to be observed (other than the axion itself or perhaps the axino). A variation of that model is here proposed which allows significant mixing of the Higgs boson with a new singlet related to the saxion (the scalar partner of the pseudoscalar axion), rendering it possible to be observed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). With the addition of exotic color superfields, this also becomes a specific realization of how the production of such a Higgs hybrid may be suppressed or enhanced at the LHC, which is very relevant to ongoing experimental efforts to find the Higgs boson.

Universal thermodynamics of a two-dimensional Bose gas

Subjects: subject: Quantum Gases (cond-mat.quant-gas)

description: Using renormalization-group arguments we show that the low-temperature thermodynamics of a three- or two-dimensional dilute Bose gas is fully determined by a universal scaling function $\calF_d(μ/k_BT,\tilde g(T))$ once the mass $m$ and the s-wave scattering length $a_d$ of the bosons are known ($d$ is the space dimension). Here $μ$ and $T$ denote the chemical potential and temperature of the gas, and the temperature-dependent dimensionless interaction constant $\tilde g(T)$ is a function of $ma_d^2k_BT/\hbar^2$. We compute the scaling function $\calF_2$ using a nonperturbative renormalization-group approach and find that both the $μ/k_BT$ and $\tilde g(T)$ dependencies are in very good agreement with recent experimental data obtained for a quasi-two-dimensional Bose gas with or without optical lattice. We also show that the nonperturbative renormalization-group estimate of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition temperature compares well with the result obtained from a quantum Monte Carlo simulation of an effective classical field theory.

description: A method is proposed to drive an ultrafast non-adiabatic dynamics of an ultracold gas trapped in a box potential. The resulting state is free from spurious excitations associated with the breakdown of adiabaticity, and preserves the quantum correlations of the initial state up to a scaling factor. The process relies on the existence of an adiabatic invariant and the inversion of the dynamical self-similar scaling law dictated by it. Its physical implementation generally requires the use of an auxiliary expulsive potential analogous to those used in soliton control. The method is extended to a broad family of many-body systems. As illustrative examples we consider the ultrafast expansion of a Tonks-Girardeau gas and of Bose-Einstein condensates in different dimensions, where the method exhibits an excellent robustness against different regimes of interactions and the features of an experimentally realizable box potential.

description: Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) is a spectroscopic technique which has been widely used to study various elementary excitations in correlated and other condensed matter systems. For strongly correlated materials, besides boosting the overall signal the dependence of the resonant profile on incident photon energy is still not fully understood. Previous endeavors in connecting indirect RIXS, such as Cu K-edge for example where scattering takes place only via the core-hole created as an intermediate state, with the charge dynamical structure factor S(q,ω) neglected complicated dependence on the intermediate state configuration. To resolve this issue, we performed an exact diagonalization study of the RIXS cross-section using the single-band Hubbard model by fully addressing the intermediate state contribution. Our results are relevant to indirect RIXS in correlated materials, such as high Tc cuprates. We demonstrate that RIXS spectra can be reduced to S(q,ω) when there is no screening channel for the core-hole potential in the intermediate state. We also show that two-magnon excitations are highlighted at the resonant photon energy when the core-hole potential in the corresponding intermediate state is poorly screened. Our results demonstrate that different elementary excitations can be emphasized at different intermediate states, such that selecting the exact incident energy is critical when trying to capture a particular elementary excitation.

Maturation of skull properties with implications for the fitting and verification of the soft band bone-anchored hearing system for infants and young children
Creators: name: Mackey, Allison Ruth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Soft band bone-anchored hearing systems (BAHS) are optimal for individuals with conductive or mixed hearing losses. Although it is understood that bone-conduction hearing is different between infants and adults, few studies have attempted to explain why these differences exist or how they affect the fitting of a soft band BAHS. The main objectives in this study were: (i) to better understand how properties of the developing skull contribute to the maturation of bone-conduction attenuation and sensitivity, and (ii) to determine how future BAHS fitting and verification protocols should be adjusted for infants and young children. The transcranial attenuation of pure-tone bone-conduction stimuli was measured on infants and young children (age 1 month to 7 years) and adults using sound pressure in the ear canal when the transducer was placed on different positions across the skull. In addition, the mechanical impedance magnitude for the forehead and temporal bone was collected for contact forces of 2, 4, and 5.4 N using an impedance head, a BAHS transducer, and a specially-designed holding device. This study was the first to measure mechanical impedance of the skull, which is an essential component to bone-conduction hearing, on young children and infants. Transcranial attenuation was greatest for young infants, and decreased throughout maturation. Attenuation was also greater from the forehead compared to the contralateral temporal bone for infants and children over 10 months of age. In addition, mechanical impedance was lowest for the youngest infants and increased throughout maturation for low frequencies, but for high frequencies, these infants had the highest impedance on the temporal bone only. The effect of contact force was significant for low frequencies, and the effect of placement was significant for high frequencies. These results suggest that the properties of the developing skull relate to infant-adult differences in transcranial attenuation, and the mechanical impedance of the skin and subcutaneous tissue may explain the infant-adult differences in bone-conduction sensitivity. The results also provide important implications for fitting and verifying output from the BAHS for infants and young children.

description: The unknown quantum electronic conductance across nanojunctions made of silicon-doped carbon wires between carbon leads is investigated. This is done by an appropriate generalization of the phase field matching theory for the multi-scattering processes of the electronic excitations at the nanojunction, and the use of the tight-binding method. Our calculations of the electronic band structures for carbon, silicon and diatomic silicon carbide, are matched with the available corresponding density functional theory results to optimize the required tight-binding parameters. The silicon and carbon atoms are treated on the same footing by characterizing each with their corresponding orbitals. Several types of nanojunctions are analyzed to sample their behavior under different atomic configurations. We calculate for each nanojunction the individual contributions to the quantum conductance for the propagating $σ$, $π$, and $σ^{*}$ electrons incident from the carbon leads. The calculated results show a number of remarkable features, which include the influence of the ordered periodic configurations of silicon-carbon pairs, and the suppression of the quantum conductance due to minimum substitutional disorder and to artificially organized symmetry on these nanojunctions. Our results also demonstrate that the phase field matching theory is an efficient tool to treat the quantum conductance of complex molecular nanojunctions.

Using chemical genetics to discover regulators in plant immunity
Creators: name: Huang, Shuai
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Plants fend off pathogens by using Resistance (R) protein receptors to recognize pathogenic effectors. Classical genetic methods have been used to study R protein activation. However, the usage of classical genetics is limited by redundancy and lethality. To overcome these problems, I performed a high-throughput chemical genetics screen. I screened a chemical library containing 3,600 small-molecule compounds with known functions in animal systems. I identified one compound, 353D7, an NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) subtype glutamate receptor antagonist in animals, that was able to completely suppress the autoimmune phenotypes of chs3-2D (chilling sensitive 3, 2D), including the arrested growth morphology and PR (pathogenesis related) gene expression. I also demonstrated that 353D7 suppressed the morphology of chs3-2D in a dosage dependent manner. In addition, 353D7 could partially suppress flg22‒induced reactive oxygen species production. In Arabidopsis, there are twenty glutamate-like receptors (GLR) ‒encoding genes that share high homology with the animal ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs). Activation of NMDA receptors triggers ion fluxes including Ca²⁺ influx across the plasma membrane (PM). Cytosolic Ca²⁺ is one of the most ubiquitous secondary messengers mediating numerous biological processes including plant defense. We hypothesize that 353D7 probably perturbs plant GLR‒mediated Ca²⁺ influx. This work will potentially help us discover the longsought Ca²⁺ channels on the plasma membrane necessary for plant defense.

description: Sleep disturbances are prevalent in patients with minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE). This study aimed to evaluate the association between sleep disturbances and altered gut microbiota in patients with MHE caused by hepatitis B-related liver cirrhosis. Ninety-eight and 45 patients with MHE were included in exploration and validation cohorts, respectively. Sleep disturbances were assessed using the Chinese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire. Microbiota in fecal samples were analyzed via amplicon sequencing of bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA genes. The gut microbiomes of MHE patients with sleep disturbances were characterized by lower bacterial diversity and distinct bacterial composition. Relative abundances of Streptococcus salivarius and Veillonella were independent predictors of sleep disturbances in MHE patients and well-distinguished MHE patients with and without sleep disturbances in both the exploration and validation cohorts. Moreover, the relative abundances of S. salivarius were positively correlated with plasma ammonia levels, and functional modules associated with protein digestion and absorption and lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis were enriched in the microbiomes of MHE patients with sleep disturbances. Both S. salivarius and Veillonella were associated with sleep disturbances in patients with MHE caused by hepatitis B-related liver cirrhosis.

Infinite dimension reflection matrices in the sine-Gordon model with a boundary
Creators: name: Corrigan, E.
name: Zambon, C.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using the sine-Gordon model as the prime example an alternative approach to integrable boundary conditions for a theory restricted to a half-line is proposed. The main idea is to explore the consequences of taking into account the topological charge residing on the boundary and the fact it changes as solitons in the bulk reflect from the boundary. In this context, reflection matrices are intrinsically infinite dimensional, more general than the two-parameter Ghoshal-Zamolodchikov reflection matrix, and related in an intimate manner with defects.

description: We report Suzaku observations of the northern half of the Hydra A cluster out to ~1.4 Mpc, reaching the virial radius. This is the first Suzaku observations of a medium-size (kT ~3 keV) cluster out to the virial radius. Two observations were conducted, north-west and north-east offsets, which continue in a filament direction and a void direction of the large-scale structure of the Universe, respectively. The X-ray emission and distribution of galaxies elongate in the filament direction. The temperature profiles in the two directions are mostly consistent with each other within the error bars and drop to 1.5 keV at 1.5 r_500. As observed by Suzaku in hot clusters, the entropy profile becomes flatter beyond r_500, in disagreement with the r^1.1 relationship that is expected from accretion shock heating models. When scaled with the average intracluster medium (ICM) temperature, the entropy profiles of clusters observed with Suzaku are universal and do not depend on system mass. The hydrostatic mass values in the void and filament directions are in good agreement, and the Navarro, Frenk, and White universal mass profile represents the hydrostatic mass distribution up to ~ 2 r_500. Beyond r_500, the ratio of gas mass to hydrostatic mass exceeds the result of the Wilkinson microwave anisotropy probe, and at r_100, these ratios in the filament and void directions reach 0.4 and 0.3, respectively. We discuss possible deviations from hydrostatic equilibrium at cluster outskirts. We derived radial profiles of the gasmass- to-light ratio and iron-mass-to-light ratio out to the virial radius. Within r_500, the iron-mass-to-light ratio of the Hydra A cluster was compared with those in other clusters observed with Suzaku.

The decay Bs -> mu+ mu-: updated SUSY constraints and prospects

description: We perform a study of the impact of the recently released limits on BR(Bs -> mu+ mu-) by LHCb and CMS on several SUSY models. We show that the obtained constraints can be superior to those which are derived from direct searches for SUSY particles in some scenarios, and the use of a double ratio of purely leptonic decays involving Bs -> mu+ mu- can further strengthen such constraints. We also discuss the experimental sensitivity and prospects for observation of Bs -> mu+ mu- during the sqrt(s)=7 TeV run of the LHC, and its potential implications.

Reversal of Photon-Scattering Errors in Atomic Qubits

description: Spontaneous photon scattering by an atomic qubit is a notable example of environment-induced error and is a fundamental limit to the fidelity of quantum operations. In the scattering process the qubit loses its distinctive and coherent character owing to its entanglement with the photon. Using a single trapped ion we show that by utilizing the information carried by the photon we are able to coherently reverse this process and correct for the scattering error. We further used quantum process tomography to characterize the photon-scattering error and its correction scheme and demonstrate a correction fidelity greater than 85% whenever a photon was measured.
