description: [abridged] We study the evolution of the Star Formation Rate Function (SFRF) of massive galaxies over the 0.41.e10 Msun range and determine the SFRF using the 1/Vmax algorithm. We define simulated galaxy catalogues based on three different semi-analytical models of galaxy formation and evolution. We show that the theoretical SFRFs are well described by a double power law functional form and its redshift evolution is approximated with high accuracy by a pure evolution of the typical SFR. We find good agreement between model predictions and the high-SFR end of the SFRF, when the observational errors on the SFR are taken into account. However, the observational SFRF is characterised by a double peaked structure, which is absent in its theoretical counterparts. At z>1.0 the observed SFRF shows a relevant density evolution, which is not reproduced by SAMs, due to the well known overprediction of intermediate mass galaxies at z~2. The agreement at the low-SFR end is poor: all models overpredict the space density of SFR~1 Msun/yr and no model reproduces the double peaked shape of the observational SFRF. If confirmed by deeper IR observations, this discrepancy will provide a key constraint on theoretical modelling of star formation and stellar feedback.

description: Until recently, it was thought that the relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation was a monotonic one, even though there was little agreement as to whether economic growth led to environmental degradation or to increasing environmental quality. At the one extreme there are those who argue that economic growth results in ever increasing use of energy and materials and expanding worker productivity and hence more environmental degeneration. At the other extreme are those who claim that the fastest road to environmental improvement is along the path of economic growth; with higher income comes increased demand for improved environmental protection measures. From this perspective, as Beckerman (1992) put it: "the surest way to improve your environment is to get rich" (quoted by Rothman 1998, pp. 178). A number of empirical studies in the early 1990s (Grossman and Krueger 1991, 1994; Shafik and Bandyopadhyay 1992; and Panayotou 1992, 1993, and 1995) found a nonmonotonic, inverted U-relationship between a number of local pollutants such as particulates and sulfur dioxide and income suggesting a changing relationship between environment and growth along the course of economic development (see Figure 1). At an early stage of development the environment deteriorates with economic growth until a certain level of per capita income is reached beyond which further increases in income result in environmental improvements. The changing income-environment relationship in the course of economic development, known as the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) was attributed largely to behavioral factors: as income rises the effective demand for environmental quality (an income-elastic amenity) rises and eventually overwhelms any scale effects of economic growth on pollution. The behavioral explanation of the EKC presumes a perceived impact of pollution on health, quality of life, or welfare more generally; it is the changing valuation of these impacts as income increases that brings about the reversal of the growth-environment relationship. It is, therefore, surprising that empirical studies in the late 1990s (e.g. Schmalensee, Stoker, and Judson 1998 and Panayotou, Sachs, and Peterson 1999) found the same inverted U-relationship between a global pollutant, CO2, and economic growth. CO2 is greenhouse gas, which is not visible or in anyway perceptible, and any impact (global warming) it may have is distant, dispersed, and highly uncertain. It is, therefore, unlikely that behavioral changes (due to perceptible climate change) can explain falling CO2 emissions per capita once a certain level of per capita income is reached. A different explanation is called for.

description: Aim: Chromosome 14 open reading frame 166 (C14orf166) acts as a transcriptional repressor and is correlated with centrosome architecture manipulation. Nevertheless, the function of C14orf166 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the role C14orf166 plays in HCC and further compared the prognostic value of C14orf166 with that of clinicopathological features. Methods: C14orf166 expression was evaluated in a human liver cell line, HCC cell lines, HCC tissues and adjacent noncancerous liver tissues with qRT-PCR, western blot and immunohistochemistry. Patients were divided into two different groups according to C14orf166 level. The relationship between C14orf166 expression and clinicopathological features was assessed by Pearson chi-squared test and receiver operating characteristic curves. Cumulative disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) curves were evaluated using the Kaplan–Meier method. Results: C14orf166 mRNA and protein expression is upregulated in HCC cell lines and tissues. The level of C14orf166 was correlated with serum alpha-fetoprotein level, lymph node metastasis, tumor size and recurrence, with high C14orf166 expression correlating with high HCC recurrence risk. The poor OS and DFS of HCC patients are partly due to the persistently high HCC recurrence risk. When combined with serum alpha-fetoprotein level, the predictive accuracy of C14orf166 for HCC recurrence was enhanced (AUC = 0.712, 95% CI 0.603–0.821; p = 0.001). Conclusions: This study demonstrated that C14orf166 is a high-risk biomarker and predictive factor for HCC recurrence, providing information for the selection of appropriate treatment strategies.
Template-assembled synthetic G-quartets as targets for anticancer drugs
Creators: name: Liu, Bo
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: DNA is a classic target for small-molecule ligands. In order to reduce significant toxicities of anticancer drugs resulting from unspecific interactions with DNA duplexes, it aroused great interest to investigate the specific interactions of ligands with a secondary DNA structure, G-quadruplex, formed by a guanine-rich DNA sequence. Induction and stabilization of G-quadruplex structures by ligands have been shown to inhibit telomerase activities and regulate the transcription and expression levels of oncogenes in cancer cells; therefore, the design of synthetic G-quartets under physiological conditions as minimal models of G-quadruplexes or artificial receptors of anticancer drugs has become an important and promising approach to clarify binding mechanisms, as well as to develop practical high-performance anticancer drugs. This thesis explores the recognition behavior of the second generation of hydrophilic template-assembled synthetic G-quartets (TASQs) using fluorescence spectroscopy and CD spectroscopy with PIPER, TMPyP4, AZATRUX, BSU 1051 and BRACO-19. The results show that PIPER, TMPyP4, AZATRUX can stack on top of a G-tetrad plane via π-π stacking with stoichiometries of 1:1 and high binding affinities (KPIPER=1.65×10⁷ M⁻¹, KTMPyP4= 8.5×10⁵ M⁻¹, KAZATRUX=2.55×10⁶ M⁻¹); however, BSU 1051 and BRACO-19 have no such behavior with TASQs. All the spectra and binding mechanisms are similar to known mechanisms or computer-aided molecular simulation models, suggesting that the second generation of hydrophilic TASQs can imitate the natural terminal G-tetrad planes of G-quadruplexes. Moreover, this artificial receptor has selectivity over different ligands with an ability to contribute to the screening of small-molecule ligands, as well as the investigations of binding mechanisms of new anticancer ligands. The main works in this thesis are shown as follows: 1. Introduction to DNA duplexes, G-quadruplexes, template-assembled synthetic G-quartets, anticancer drugs (i.e. PIPER, TMPyP4, AZATRUX, BSU-1051, BRACO 19, telomestatin), and characteristic methods. 2. Synthesis of water-soluble template-assembled G-quartets (TASQ 13), PIPER, and AZATRUX. The binding properties of these ligands with TASQ 13 were characterized by spectroscopic methods so as to show the binding abilities and binding modes of different drugs to TASQ 13. 3. Conclusions and future work.

description: The Western Front, a 400-plus mile stretch of land weaving through France and Belgium from the Swiss border to the North Sea, was the decisive front during the First World War. Whichever side won there – either the Central Powers of the Entente – would be able to claim victory for their respective alliance. Despite the global nature of the conflict, much of the world remembers the First World War through the lens of the Western Front, in large part thanks to the success of Erich Maria Remarque’s classic, ''All Quiet on the Western Front''. This article looks at the war on the Western Front from 1914-1918, its major events, battles, and strategies.

description: Electronic transport in closed loop structures is addressed within a tight-binding formalism and in the presence of both the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions. It has been shown that any one of the spin-orbit fields can be estimated precisely if the other one is known, by observing either the transmission resonance or anti-resonance of unpolarized electrons. The result is obtained through an exact analytic calculation for a simple square loop, and through a numerically exact formulation for a circular ring. The sensitivity of the transport properties on the geometry of the interferometer is discussed in details.

description: In this work, we address the question of calculating the local effective Coulomb interaction matrix in materials with strong electronic Coulomb interactions from first principles. To this purpose, we implement the constrained random phase approximation (cRPA) into a density functional code within the linearized augmented plane wave (LAPW) framework. We apply our approach to the 3d and 4d early transition metal oxides SrMO3 (M=V, Cr, Mn) and (M=Nb, Mo, Tc) in their paramagnetic phases. For these systems, we explicitly assess the differences between two physically motivated low-energy Hamiltonians: The first is the three-orbital model comprising the t2g states only, that is often used for early transition metal oxides. The second choice is a model where both, metal d- and oxygen p-states are retained in the construction of Wannier functions, but the Hubbard interactions are applied to the d-states only ("d-dp Hamiltonian"). Interestingly, since -- for a given compound -- both U and J depend on the choice of the model, so do their trends within a family of these compounds. In the 3d perovskite series SrMO3 the effective Coulomb interactions in the t2g Hamiltonian decrease along the series, due to the more efficient screening. The inverse -- generally expected -- trend, increasing interactions with increasing atomic number, is however recovered within the more localized "d-dp Hamiltonian". Similar conclusions are established in the layered 4d perovskites series Sr2MO4 (M=Mo, Tc, Ru, Rh). Compared to their isoelectronic and isostructural 3d analogues, the 4d 113 perovskite oxides SrMO3 (M=Nb, Mo, Tc) exhibit weaker screening effects. Interestingly, this leads to an effectively larger U on 4d shells than on 3d when a t2g model is constructed.

description: The paper begins by presenting a framework for evaluating transition. The framework identifies categories of influences or "determinants of transition" and how they interact to produce short-term impacts, intermediate outcomes, and long-term socio-economic performance. Among the determinants are the so-called "initial conditions" of transition. The initial conditions describe the situation a country finds itself at the start of the process and are a mixture of geographic fixed characteristics, hard-to-change institutional and economic conditions, and relatively easy-to-change policy conditions. The paper then uses the initial conditions to create a country cluster typology, which is used throughout the rest of the paper. Focusing on the "cluster" as the central unit of analysis underscores our belief that this method greatly simplifies the analysis while at the same time illuminating common features that would otherwise be obscured by country-specific details. This approach also recognizes that the inter-cluster differences are so profound as to make it senseless to compare, say capital market developments in Poland with the Kyrgyz Republic; their initial conditions are just too different. While it is difficult to draw lessons between countries in different clusters, the opposite is true within clusters. By specifically controlling for common initial conditions among countries within a cluster we find ourselves with a powerful assessment tool to evaluate the effectiveness of the alternative policies that countries have taken within the cluster. In brief, a cluster based analysis is a more productive approach upon which to formulate donor programs.

description: Nanoparticle suspensions (also called nanofluids) are often polydisperse and tend to settle with time. Settling kinetics in these systems are known to be complex and hence challenging to understand. In this work, polydisperse spherical alumina (Al2O3) nanoparticles in the size range of ~10-100nm were dispersed in water and examined for aggregation and settling behaviour near its isoelectric point (IEP). A series of settling experiments were conducted and the results were analysed by photography and by Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS). The settling curve obtained from standard bed height measurement experiments indicated two different types of behaviour, both of which were also seen in the SAXS data. But the SAXS data were remarkably able to pick out the rapid settling regime as a result of the high temporal resolution (10s) used. By monitoring the SAXS intensity, it was further possible to record the particle aggregation process for the first time. Optical microscopy images were produced on drying and dried droplets extracted from the suspension at various times. Dried deposits showed the rapid decrease in the number of very large particles with time which qualitatively validates the SAXS prediction, and therefore its suitability as a tool to study unstable polydisperse colloids.

Appealed to as women of the Empire and mothers of soldiers, they were expected to support the war effort, which they did both at home and overseas. While women’s paid work changed only in minor ways, their participation in the volunteer sector was widespread and essential. Women’s organisations also used their maternal citizenship to agitate against war and conscription, and to gain significant welfare reform for women by the mid-1920s.

On the Analysis of Firms' Cash Flows

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2007
Subjects: Managerial economics

description: This paper revisits the whys and hows of cash flows analysis. The analysis maintains a strict common shareholders' perspective with an equity valuation focus. The paper argues that analysts turn to cash flows to evaluate the potential ambiguity inherent in accruals. The GAAP statement of cash flows, however, (i) relies on a too narrow concept of cash and (ii) lacks a clear bottom-line directly comparable to net income per GAAP. To circumvent (i) and (ii), the paper proposes a framework of Modified Cash Accounting (MCA). A MCA statement of cash earnings satisfies a crucial property: It works like a regular income statement yet eschews all accruals. The paper discusses not only how one motivates and develops a MCA statement of cash earnings, but also how it should be put to use. A crucial issue deals with how one compares the two bottom-lines -- GAAP income vs. that of MCA cash earnings -- given alternative growth scenarios. The paper shows how one can estimate a "normal accrual," which can be added to MCA cash earnings, given assumptions about the firm's growth.

description: The term "atrocity" describes an act of violence condemned by contemporaries as a breach of morality or the laws of war. "Atrocities" are culturally constructed; by 1914, an international discourse on "civilized" war had defined "atrocities" as acts perpetrated by an enemy that was "uncivilized", or "barbarian". Victims of the "German atrocities" of 1914 were French and Belgian civilians; the killing of Germans in East Prussia by Russian troops featured less prominently. Habsburg forces killed numerous civilians in Serbia; all sides were charged with atrocities against captured soldiers and in naval warfare. Atrocity propaganda is discussed in a separate article.

title: Understanding Vocational Rehabilitation: A Cross-Sector Perspective Using Case Study Methodology
Creators: name: Ross, Joanne C.
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2021

description: This exploratory study arose out of an interest in the re-emerging role of occupational therapy within vocational rehabilitation in the United Kingdom. In the late 1990s, changes introduced by the Labour government put work at the heart of the welfare reform strategy. Attention was turned to the employment potential of groups, such as disabled people, who had been excluded from the labour force for decades. New approaches, which enabled these individuals to access, remain in, and return to work, became the focus of attention. This growing interest in vocational rehabilitation was shared by insurers, employers, health and social care professionals, clients and others. A cross-sector understanding was gained through the use of qualitative case study methodology. Participating organisations included an insurance company, an occupational health team, a condition-management programme and an injury management rehabilitation company. The required ethical and access permissions were gained. A pan-disability, multi-disciplinary approach was adopted to identify potential barriers and facilitators of work participation. The findings were presented in the form of case study reports which illustrated the contextual influences on practice. A cross-case analysis resulted in the development of a conceptual framework called the participation in work framework. This introduced an occupation-focused perspective which added to existing understandings of vocational rehabilitation. The findings added clarity to, and helped define, the components which comprised the vocational rehabilitation process and intervention. The different areas of knowledge, required by vocational rehabilitation practitioners, were highlighted. This research has made a contribution to the existing understandings of work and vocational rehabilitation within the discipline of occupational therapy. The findings may also be of interest to policymakers, educators, researchers and professionals from other disciplines.

description: We investigate a new symmetry of the large deviation function of certain time-integrated currents in non-equilibrium systems. The symmetry is similar to the well-known Gallavotti-Cohen-Evans-Morriss-symmetry for the entropy production, but it concerns a different functional of the stochatic trajectory. The symmetry can be found in a restricted class of Markov jump processes, where the network of microscopic transitions has a particular structure and the transition rates satisfy certain constraints. We provide three physical examples, where time-integrated observables display such a symmetry. Moreover, we argue that the origin of the symmetry can be traced back to time-reversal if stochastic trajectories are grouped appropriately.

A synthetic approach to tetrodotoxin : via oxidative amidation of a phenol
Creators: name: Chau, Jaclyn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: This dissertation describes synthetic efforts towards tetrodotoxin. Contact with tetrodotoxin brings upon paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) for the unfortunate victim. The syndrome can be fatal in extreme cases and symptoms include nausea, numbing of the lips and body, throat constriction, slurred speech, and loss of coordination. Our approach stems from the oxidative amidation of a phenol as a key step. This technology installs a necessary nitrogen-functionality of the natural product at an early stage; ultimately the route was optimized to allow the synthesis to proceed in a practical manner.

description: Salpa thompsoni is an important grazer in the Southern Ocean and most abundant in the Antarctic Polar Front (APF) region. During recent decades, their distribution expanded southwards. However, it is unclear whether salps can maintain their populations in the high Antarctic regions throughout the year due to a poor understanding of their physiological responses to changing environmental conditions. We examined gene expression signatures of salps collected in two geographically close regions south of the APF that differed in water mass composition and productivity. The observed differences in the expression of genes related to reproductive, cellular and metabolic processes reflect variations in water temperature and food supply between the two regions studied here. Our study contributes to a better understanding of the physiological responses of S. thompsoni to changing environmental conditions, and how the species may adapt to a changing environment through potential geographical population shifts under future climate change scenarios.

description: The First World War in Africa has been considered a sideshow compared to the catastrophe that took place in European theatre of war. As a result, the historiography of South Africa’s participation in the First World War has reflected this relative lack of interest. South Africa’s contribution to the First World War is dominated by Jan Smuts who played a leading role during the campaign in Africa and later in the British War Cabinet and at the Paris peace conference. Smuts has been harshly criticised by British historians, a situation that has persisted for decades. However, there are positive signs that South Africa’s role in the First World War is finally being reassessed.

description: We investigate $e^{+}e^{-}\to γγ$ process within the Seiberg-Witten expanded noncommutative standard model(NCSM) scenario in the presence of anomalous triple gauge boson couplings. This study is done with and without initial beam polarization and we restrict ourselves to leading order effects of non commutativity i.e. $O(Θ)$. The non commutative(NC) corrections are sensitive to the electric component($\vecΘ_E$) of NC parameter. We include the effects of earth rotation in our analysis. This study is done by investigating the effects of non commutativity on different time averaged cross section observables. We have also defined forward backward asymmetries which will be exclusively sensitive to anomalous couplings. We have looked into the sensitivity of these couplings at future experiments at the International Linear Collider(ILC). This analysis is done under realistic ILC conditions with the Center of mass energy(c.m.) $\sqrt{s}=800$GeV and integrated luminosity L=500fb${}^{-1}$. The scale of non commutativity is assumed to be $Λ= 1$TeV. The limits on anomalous couplings of the order $10^{-1}$ from forward backward asymmetries while much stringent limits of the order $10^{-2}$ from total cross section are obtained if no signal beyond SM is seen.

description: Numerical simulations of Aluminum (Al) and Tungsten (W) granular composite rings under various dynamic loading conditions caused by explosive loading were examined. Three competing mechanisms of fragmentation were observed: a continuum level mechanism generating large macrocracks described by the Grady-Kipp fragmentation mechanism, a mesoscale mechanism generating voids and microcracks near the initially unbonded Al/W interfaces due to tensile strains, and a mesoscale jetting due to the development of large velocity gradients between the W particles and adjacent Al. These mesoscale mechanisms can be used to tailor the size of the fragments by selecting an appropriate initial mesostructure for a given loading condition.

description: We investigate the spin-current absorption induced by an inhomogeneous spin-orbit coupling due to impurities in metals. We consider the system with spin currents driven by the electric field or the spin accumulation. The resulting diffusive spin currents, including the gradient of the spin-orbit coupling strength, indicate the spin-current absorption at the interface, which is exemplified with experimentally relevant setups.

description: We characterize the evolution over time of a network of credit relations among financial agents as a system of coupled stochastic processes. Each process describes the dynamics of individual financial robustness, while the coupling results from a network of liabilities among agents. The average level of risk diversification of the agents coincides with the density of links in the network. In addition to a process of diffusion of financial distress, we also consider a discrete process of default cascade, due to the re-evaluation of agents' assets. In this framework we investigate the probability of individual defaults as well as the probability of systemic default as a function of the network density. While it is usually thought that diversification of risk always leads to a more stable financial system, in our model a tension emerges between individual risk and systemic risk. As the number of counterparties in the credit network increases beyond a certain value, the default probability, both individual and systemic, starts to increase. This tension originates from the fact that agents are subject to a financial accelerator mechanism. In other words, individual financial fragility feeding back on itself may amplify the effect of an initial shock and lead to a full fledged systemic crisis. The results offer a simple possible explanation for the endogenous emergence of systemic risk in a credit network.

A model for alignment between microscopic rods and vorticity
Creators: name: Wilkinson, M.
name: Kennard, H. R.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Numerical simulations show that microscopic rod-like bodies suspended in a turbulent flow tend to align with the vorticity vector, rather than with the dominant eignevector of the strain-rate tensor. This paper investigates an analytically solvable limit of a model for alignment in a random velocity field with isotropic statistics. The vorticity varies very slowly and the isotropic random flow is equivalent to a pure strain with statistics which are axisymmetric about the direction of the vorticity. We analyse the alignment in a weakly fluctuating uniaxial strain field, as a function of the product of the strain relaxation time $τ_{\rm s}$ and the angular velocity $ω$ about the vorticity axis. We find that when $ωτ_{\rm s}\gg 1$, the rods are predominantly either perpendicular or parallel to the vorticity.

An $S_3$ Model for Lepton Mass Matrices with Nearly Minimal Texture

Year: 2012

description: We propose a simple extension of the electroweak standard model based on the discrete $S_3$ symmetry that is capable of realizing a nearly minimal Fritzsch-type texture for the Dirac mass matrices of both charged leptons and neutrinos. This is achieved with the aid of additional $Z_5$ and $Z_3$ symmetries, one of which can be embedded in $U(1)_{B-L}$. Five complex scalar singlet fields are introduced in addition to the SM with right-handed neutrinos. Although more general, the modified texture of the model retains the successful features of the minimal texture without fine-tuning; namely, it accommodates the masses and mixing of the leptonic sector and relates the emergence of large leptonic mixing angles with the seesaw mechanism. For large deviations of the minimal texture, both quasidegenerate spectrum or inverted hierarchy are allowed for neutrino masses.

description: During World War I, motor vehicles took on a key role as transport facilities for troops and equipment. They needed tires made of rubber, which as a result became a raw material of strategic importance. The plantation economies of the British colonies Malaya and Ceylon dominated the caoutchouc market; the Entente practically had a monopoly. Between 1914 and 1918, the US car and tire industries outclassed their German competitors by far and had an important share in the Allied victory over the Central Powers.

Today, even though artillery was responsible for the majority of deaths, the machine gun is the weapon most commonly associated with the First World War in the popular imagination. This overestimates its importance, but also fails to comprehend real advances made in the field of automatic weapons during the First World War.
