Empirical in-stream flow assessment tools for British Columbian channels
Creators: name: McParland, Daniel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Empirical hydraulic distribution equations have been proposed as simple and inexpensive alternatives to traditional data-intensive flow assessment methodologies. Two proposed depth and three proposed velocity empirical equations were compared to measured hdraulic distributions for two channels in the Interior Region of British Columbia. Empirical velocity distributions adequately reproduced the measured velocity distribution for both channels. An empirical depth distribution was able to replicate measured depth distributions at a relatively undisturbed channel (Harris Creek) but were unable to predict the measured depth distribution following morphological change at a channel recently disturbed by forest fire (Fishtrap Creek). Furthermore, the empirical distributions were compared to modelled depth and velocity distributions produced by a 2-dimensional hydrodynamic model (River2D). The empirical distributions provided reasonable representation of the hydraulic distributions for flows < 3 m³ s-¹. At flows approaching bankfull the empirical methods, in particular the velocity equations, were unable to adequately reproduce the distributions produced in River2D. Additionally, a joint frequency depth-velocity distribution was paired with habitat suitability indices to quantify available habitat across a range of flows at Harris Creek using reach average hydraulic conditions generated by River2D. The statistical habitat model produced similar habitat values to River2D at low flows and was able to recreate the general shape and trends of the habitat indices. As well, a proposed at-a-station hydraulic geometry simulator was used alongside a channel regime model to approximate reach average channel conditions at Harris Creek. The proposed hydraulic simulator was able to accurately predict reach average depth (mean error of 1.06 %) and velocity (4.47 %) for discharges ranging from daily low flow to bankfull flow. The hydraulic simulator was coupled with the statistical habitat model to generate hydraulic distributions and subsequently habitat indices for the modelled discharges. The incorporation of the regime models allows users to examine the influence of variable flow regimes and riparian vegetation (inherent of a changing climate) on available aquatic habitat. The proposed aquatic habitat model provides practitioners with a low-input, user-friendly flow assessment tool that can be used for preliminary habitat assessments and basin-wide habitat studies in British Columbia.

description: Let L be the class of limiting laws associated with sequences in the second Wiener chaos. We exhibit a large subset L_0 of L satisfying that, for any F_infinity in L_0, the convergence of only a finite number of cumulants suffices to imply the convergence in law of any sequence in the second Wiener chaos to F_infinity. This result is in the spirit of the seminal paper by Nualart and Peccati, in which the authors discovered the surprising fact that convergence in law for sequences of multiple Wiener-Itô integrals to the Gaussian is equivalent to convergence of just the fourth cumulant. Also, we offer analogues of this result in the case of free Brownian motion and double Wigner integrals, in the context of free probability.

description: Young's law fails on soft solid and liquid substrates where there are substantial deformations near the contact line. On liquid substrates, this is captured by Neumann's classic analysis, which provides a geometrical construction for minimising the interfacial free energy. On soft solids, the total free energy includes an additional contribution from elasticity. A linear-elastic model incorporating an out-of-plane restoring force due to solid surface tension was recently shown to accurately predict the equilibrium shape of a thin elastic film due to a large sessile droplet. Here, we extend this model to find substrate deformations due to droplets of arbitrary size. While the macroscopic contact angle matches Young's law for large droplets, it matches Neumann's prediction for small droplets. The cross-over droplet size is roughly given by the ratio of the solid's surface tension and elastic modulus. At this cross-over, the macroscopic contact angle increases, indicating that the substrate is effectively less wetting. For droplets of all sizes, the microscopic behaviour near the contact line follows the Neumann construction giving local force balance.

description: Context Primary pancreatic carcinoid tumors (foregut) are very rare. A typical carcinoid syndrome with diarrhea and flushing may be present. The diagnosis is based on the high urinary 5-HIAA (5-hydroxyndole acetic acid) levels (or high serum serotonin levels) or the immunostaining of serotonin (5-HT) in the tumor cells. Objective We evaluated clinical presentation, endocrine tumor markers, histology, therapeutic approach and follow up. Methods From 1986 to 2011 in our department we observed 211 neuroendocrine (NE) pancreatic tumors and 8 of them (3.8%) were primary carcinoid tumors (5 males and 3 females; averaging 55.8 years, range: 38-69 years). Follow up was updated until December 2012. Results Among the eight patients enrolled, 3 were symptomatic. Seven had high serum 5-HT or high urinary 5-HIAA, and one was asymptomatic with immunostaining of 5-HT in tumor cells. Location: 6 body-tail. All were malignant tumors: 7 liver and 1 single nodal metastases. Markers: 4 high serum 5-HT (up to 176 µmol/L), 7 high urinary 5-HIAA (up to 522 µmol/L). Surgery: 1 left pancreatectomy, 7 biopsy. Histology: 7 NE tumor, 1 negative pancreatic biopsy (liver metastases). Other therapy: 3 treated with somatostatin analogues (SST-A) and chemotherapy (CT), 1 CT and radiometabolic therapy after hepatic artery embolization (HAE), 1 HAE and SST-A, 1 CT. Follow up: 6 dead for disease progression (mean survival 52 months), 2 alive (1 without disease 78 months after surgery; 1 asymptomatic with high 5-HIAA 33 months after SST-A and CT). Conclusion Most of primary pancreatic carcinoids are locally advanced tumors or have liver metastases at time of diagnosis, then patients are not amenable to surgery. Although most patients had high 5-HIAA urinary excretion, few patients had carcinoid syndrome. A long term survival may be achieved with multimodal approach, including chemotherapy, in foregut carcinoid tumors.

description: Context Metastatic lesions to the pancreas are rare. We present a case of an ileal carcinoid tumor with a synchronous pancreatic metastasis. Case report A 68-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic in 2008 for diarrhea and flushing. Urinary serotonin (2x upper reference limit), 5HIAA (5x upper reference limit) and chromogranin A (2.5x upper reference limit) were increased. An octreoscan scintigraphy showed a focal uptake in the pancreatic head and a slight uptake in the lower abdomen. An abdominal CT scan did not show any pancreatic lesions, but a slightly enlarged pancreatic duct in the body of the pancreas. We reviewed the CT scan imaging and we found a hypervascular ileal lesion, confirmed by small bowel barium study. The pancreatic lesion was confirmed by MRI and resulted slightly hypermetabolic with 18FDG-PET (SUV of 2.15). In November 2008 the patient underwent a duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR), a cholecystectomy, an ileal resection (about 80 cm) and ablation of small multiple peritoneal nodules. Histology showed multiple well differentiated (Ki67 <2%) ileal carcinoid tumors with lymph-node metastases and tiny peritoneal secondary lesions. The pancreatic lesion resulted to be a metastasis of the carcinoid with positive serotonin staining. The patient is still alive with diarrhea, biochemical evidence of disease and multiple pulmonary metastases 48 months after surgery. Conclusion Pancreas is an uncommon site of metastatic spread in midgut carcinoids and should be considered in case of pancreatic synchronous lesions. In the literature we found a single case report in the last 10 years.

Transcription factor control of myrosin cell development in Arabidopsis.
Creators: name: Li, Meng
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Brassicaceae shoots harbor a glucosinolate-myrosinase system that acts as a chemically induced defense against insect predation and microorganisms. In Arabidopsis, myrosinase,also known as Thioglucoside Glucohydrolase (TGG), accumulates in the tonoplast of guard cells (GCs) as well as of myrosin phloem cells (MPCs). The basic-Helix-Loop-Helix (bHLH) transcription factor FAMA is essential for stomatal development, where it is strongly expressed just before and after the final division that generates the two-celled stoma. FAMA enforces guard cell fate and ensures that stomata contain just two guard cells, but no other function for FAMA has been demonstrated. I report that FAMA and a second guard cell fate marker are also expressed in shoots in developing and mature MPCs. MPCs were found to arise from the ground meristem, not the procambium, and thus are not part of the phloem. The loss of FAMA function abolishes MPCs and abrogates the expression of the myrosinase genes, TGG1 and TGG2. In addition, MPC development is regulated by auxin-related signaling. The loss of function of the GNOM gene as well as the chemical inhibition of auxin efflux, disrupt MPC patterning and morphogenesis. Thus FAMA confers MPC fate as well as the expression of myrosinase genes. In addition, polar auxin efflux is required for MPC development and patterning.

description: We derive the limit shape of Young diagrams, associated with growing integer partitions, with respect to multiplicative probability measures underpinned by the generating functions of the form $\mathcal{F}(z)=\prod_{\ell=1}^\infty \mathcal{F}_0(z^\ell)$ (which entails equal weighting among possible parts $\ell\in\mathbb{N}$). Under mild technical assumptions on the function $H_0(u)=\ln(\mathcal{F}_0(u))$, we show that the limit shape $ω^*(x)$ exists and is given by the equation $y=γ^{-1}H_0(\mathrm{e}^{-γx})$, where $γ^2=\int_0^1 u^{-1}H_0(u)\,\mathrm{d}u$. The wide class of partition measures covered by this result includes (but is not limited to) representatives of the three meta-types of decomposable combinatorial structures --- assemblies, multisets and selections. Our method is based on the usual randomization and conditioning; to this end, a suitable local limit theorem is proved. The proofs are greatly facilitated by working with the cumulants of sums of the part counts rather than with their moments.

description: We use a mix of analytic and numerical methods to exhaustively study a class of asymptotically global AdS solitons and hairy black hole solutions in negative cosmological constant Einstein Maxwell gravity coupled to a charged massless scalar field. Our results depend sensitively on the charge 'e' of the scalar field. The solitonic branch of solutions we study hit the Chandrashekhar limit at finite mass at small 'e', but extends to arbitrarily large mass at larger 'e'. At low values of 'e' no hairy black holes exist. At intermediate values of 'e' hairy black holes exist above a critical charge. At large 'e' hairy black holes exist at all values of the charge. The lowest mass hairy black holes is a smooth zero entropy soliton at small charge, but a (probably) singular nonzero entropy hairy black hole at larger charge. In a phase diagram of solutions, the hairy black holes merge with the familiar Reissner-Nordstrom-AdS black holes along a curve that is determined by the onset of the superradiant instability in the latter family.

description: We review the expected science performance of the New Gravitational-Wave Observatory (NGO, a.k.a. eLISA), a mission under study by the European Space Agency for launch in the early 2020s. eLISA will survey the low-frequency gravitational-wave sky (from 0.1 mHz to 1 Hz), detecting and characterizing a broad variety of systems and events throughout the Universe, including the coalescences of massive black holes brought together by galaxy mergers; the inspirals of stellar-mass black holes and compact stars into central galactic black holes; several millions of ultracompact binaries, both detached and mass transferring, in the Galaxy; and possibly unforeseen sources such as the relic gravitational-wave radiation from the early Universe. eLISA's high signal-to-noise measurements will provide new insight into the structure and history of the Universe, and they will test general relativity in its strong-field dynamical regime.

description: We study the interpolation from occupation number Fock states to Schrödinger cat states on systems modeled by two-mode Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian, like, for instance, bosons in a double well or superconducting Cooper pair boxes. In the repulsive interaction regime, by a simplified single particle description, we calculate, analytically, energy, number fluctuations, stability under coupling to a heat bath, entanglement entropy and Fisher information, all in terms of hypergeometric polynomials of the single particle overlap parameter. Our approach allows us to find how those quantities scale with the number of bosons. In the attractive interaction regime we calculate the same physical quantities in terms of the imbalance parameter, and find that the symmetry breaking, occurring at interaction Uc, predicted by a semiclassical approximation, is valid only in the limit of infinite number of bosons. For a large but finite number, we determine a characteristic strength of interaction, Uc*, which can be promoted as the crossover point from coherent to incoherent regimes and can be identified as the collapse threshold. Moreover, we find that the Fisher information is always in direct ratio to the variance of on-site number of bosons, for both positive and negative interactions. We finally show that the entanglement entropy is maximum close to Uc* and exceeds its coherent value within the whole range of interaction between 2Uc and zero.

title: Effects of Ultrasonic and Hand-Activated Scaling on Tactile Sensitivity in Second Year Dental Hygiene Students in a Clinical Setting
Creators: name: Beeson, Miranda
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2004

description: The purpose of this study was to determine if time spent instrumenting class III, IV, and V calculus clients, either hand-activated or with an ultrasonic scaler, decreased the tactile sensitivity of the clinician, and if change occurs in index finger, middle finger, and thumb tactile sensitivity prior to and following 45-minute scaling episodes. This study also afforded an opportunity to determine if tactile sensitivity changed in the same dental hygiene students over a one-year period of time by comparing data with that of a similar study conducted in the fall of 2002. Random assignment and a sample size of 25 subjects comprised the research plan; final sample consisted of 21 second-year dental hygiene students. The participants' index finger, middle finger, and thumb of the dominant hand were pretested utilizing the Vibratory Sensory Analyzer (VSA) to yield baseline tactile sensitivity scores. After baseline data collection, participants scaled their clients for 45- minutes using either hand-activated or ultrasonic scalers, while being timed and monitored. Participant scaling group status was the same as in the previous study conducted by Ryan et al (2004). Upon completion of the 45-minute scaling episode, the participants' index finger, middle finger, and thumb were post-tested with the VSA. Two-way analysis of variance for repeated measures revealed that following 45-minutes of scaling a calculus class III, IV, or V patient with the ultrasonic scaler, tactile sensitivity increased on the thumb, middle finger, and index finger. Pretest scores and posttest scores were compared revealing a general decrease in the tactile sensitivity threshold for participants in the ultrasonic group indicating an increase in their tactile sensitivity. The thumb and index finger of participants in the hand-activated group experienced an increase in tactile sensitivity as well. However, the middle fingers of participants in the hand-activated group displayed a decrease in tactile sensitivity after their 45-minute scaling appointments. Of all of the fingers tested, the index finger portrayed the most tactile sensitivity both prior to and following the scaling procedures, which concurs with the finding of Ryan et al (2004). There was also a slight decrease in the experimental group's tactile sensitivity pretest scores compared to the pretest scores from the original Ryan et al (2004) study, though not at a statistically significant level. Therefore, there may be a link between ultrasonic scaling over time and a decrease in tactile sensitivity. These conclusions merit further clinical research to confirm if tactile sensitivity changes over time.

Publisher: name: Karlsruhe
Year: 2018

description: This study presents results of overall 124 oxidation tests of Zircaloy-4 at 900°C, 1000°C and 1100°C in different nitrogen-containing atmospheres, namely air (oxygen-nitrogen), steam-nitrogen, steam-air, and, for comparison, pure steam under comparable boundary conditions. The experiments were conducted in a tube furnace coupled with a sophisticated gas/steam inlet system and a mass spectrometer to analyse the composition of the off-gases. The experiments confirmed the strong effect of nitrogen on the oxidation of zirconium alloys. Metallographic post-test examinations were conducted mainly using optical microscopy. The oxidation kinetics of Zircaloy-4 in atmospheres containing nitrogen was similar to each other, but was much faster compared to reference tests in pure steam. Initial local attack of nitrogen was observed for all gas mixtures containing nitrogen, whereas the oxide scale formed under steam atmosphere developed homogeneously.
Does nonlinear metrology offer improved resolution? Answers from quantum information theory

description: A number of authors have suggested that nonlinear interactions can enhance resolution of phase shifts beyond the usual Heisenberg scaling of 1/n, where n is a measure of resources such as the number of subsystems of the probe state or the mean photon number of the probe state. These suggestions are based on calculations of `local precision' for particular nonlinear schemes. However, we show that there is no simple connection between the local precision and the average estimation error for these schemes, leading to a scaling puzzle. This puzzle is partially resolved by a careful analysis of iterative implementations of the suggested nonlinear schemes. However, it is shown that the suggested nonlinear schemes are still limited to an exponential scaling in \sqrt{n}. (This scaling may be compared to the exponential scaling in n which is achievable if multiple passes are allowed, even for linear schemes.) The question of whether nonlinear schemes may have a scaling advantage in the presence of loss is left open. Our results are based on a new bound for average estimation error that depends on (i) an entropic measure of the degree to which the probe state can encode a reference phase value, called the G-asymmetry, and (ii) any prior information about the phase shift. This bound is asymptotically stronger than bounds based on the variance of the phase shift generator. The G-asymmetry is also shown to directly bound the average information gained per estimate. Our results hold for any prior distribution of the shift parameter, and generalise to estimates of any shift generated by an operator with discrete eigenvalues.

description: We compute the dimension 6 effective Lagrangian arising from the tree level integration of an arbitrary number of bulk fermions in models with warped extra dimensions. The coefficients of the effective operators are written in terms of simple integrals of the metric and are valid for arbitrary warp factors, with or without an infrared brane, and for a general Higgs profile. All relevant tree level fermion effects in electroweak and flavor observables can be computed using this effective Lagrangian.

description: The Pomeranchuk instability, in which an isotropic Fermi surface distorts and becomes anisotropic due to strong interactions, is a possible mechanism for the growing number of experimental systems which display transport properties that differ along the $x$ and $y$ axes. We show here that the gauge-gravity duality can be used to describe such an instability in fermionic systems. Our holographic model consists of fermions in a background which describes the causal propagation of a massive neutral spin-two field in an asymptotically AdS spacetime. The Fermi surfaces in the boundary theory distort spontaneously and become anisotropic once the neutral massive spin-two field develops a normalizable mode in the bulk. Analysis of the fermionic correlators reveals that the low-lying fermionic excitations are non-Fermi liquid-like both before and after the Fermi surface shape distortion. Further, the spectral weight along the Fermi surface is angularly dependent and can be made to vanish along certain directions.

description: Context First described by Luchtrath and Schriefers in 1985 [1], lymphoepithelial cysts (LECs) of the pancreas are rare true benign cystic tumors of uncertain etiology (0.5% of all pancreatic cysts). They are found mainly in middle-aged males in the tail of the pancreas (size range: 2-10 cm). The challenging preoperative differential diagnosis of pancreatic LECs is among pseudocysts, cystic neoplasms and intraductal carcinomas. Case report During follow up for prostatic cancer, a 66-year-old man presented as an incidental finding at abdomen CT scan, a multiloculated cystic lesion (8x6 cm), located between duodenum and pancreatic head, with a solid component in its lower side, without contrast enhancement. MRI confirmed the lesion, suspected to be a mucinous tumor non com­municating with the Wirsung duct. A pancreatic EUS showed a inhomogeneous cystic mass of the head of the pancreas, which had internal septa and a solid component. The amylase level in the cystic fluid content was 84 U/L, and CEA and CA 19-9 levels were 301 μg/L and 76,579 kU/L, respectively. Histology of the solid component was inconclusive. A 18FDG-PET was negative for pancreatic malignancy. Blood tests showed a severe increase of creatinine and urea levels, because the patient had an acute renal failure due to the prostatic cancer, and serum CEA and CA 19-9 levels were 2.7 μg/L and 81 kU/L, respectively. After renal function normalization, with the suspicion of a mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN), the patient underwent surgery. The mass had a tight-elastic thickness and seemed not to involve the pancreatic parenchyma, so a resection of the lesion was performed. The post-operative course was uneventful. Histology revealed a cystic lesion (8x4 cm) containing yellowish fluid, lined by a stratified squamous epithelium with focal sebaceous differentiation, and surrounded by lymphoid tissue. The patient is well and asymptomatic three months after surgery. Conclusion LECs should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic pancreatic tumors, whenever a large, well-defined solid or cystic peripheral pancreatic lesion is found. Imaging findings of LECs are non-specific, so surgical resection with pathological examination of the cyst is the gold standard for diagnosis. Cytology from EUS-FNA can help to distinguish LECs from cystic neoplasms.

description: Context To date, there is no standard treatment for painful chronic pancreatitis (CP). Antioxidants (AO) have been proposed on the rationale that they may slow down the damage of the gland produced by oxidative stress, without convincing results. Objective Our aim was to systematically review the literature related to the efficacy of AO in painful CP. Methods This systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. All original reports in which humans with CP were treated with AO were considered for inclusion. Inclusion criteria also were: pain as endpoint and report of efficacy outcomes. No language restriction was set up. Studies presented only as abstracts, case reports, and case series with less than 10 patients were excluded. Literature search was performed with PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, Cochrane Library. Last search was run on February 27th, 2013. MeSH terms and keywords used were: antiox*; vitamin supplement; antioxidant supplement; vitamin A supplement; vitamin B6 supplement; vitamin B12 supplement; folic acid supplement; vitamin C supplement; vitamin D supplement; vitamin E supplement; selenium supplement; beta-carotene supplement; lycopene supplement; isoflavone supplement; chronic pancreatitis. A quality appraisal of selected studies was made. Results Literature search retrieved 3,590 studies; nine met our inclusion criteria: 6 blinded randomized clinical trials (RCTs); 2 open trials; 1 prospective cohort study. Their comparability was limited because of differences in the endpoints (pain-free days, pain scores, QoL scores, supportive care needed); possibly severe selection bias and low statistical power due to small sample size were found in some studies. Few points of partial convergence include a potential reduction in the need of supportive therapies and inefficacy of AO in alcoholic pancreatitis. Conclusion Available evidence is inconclusive: confirmation or refusal of the efficacy of antioxidant therapies against pain in CP needs to be investigated by further RCTs, with adequate design and standardized outcome variables, so as to allow for comparison.

description: A sufficiently long lived warm dark matter could be a source of X-rays observed by satellite based X-ray telescopes. We consider axinos and gravitinos with masses between 1 keV and 100 keV in supersymmetric models with small R-parity violation. We show that axino dark matter receives significant constraints from X-ray observations of Chandra and SPI, especially for the lower end of the allowed range of the axino decay constant $f_{a}$, while the gravitino dark matter remains unconstrained.
