Our sample of binary lens events consists now of 78 stellar systems and 7 extrasolar planets of OGLE-III published elsewhere. Examining the distribution of stellar binaries we find that the number of systems per logarithmic mass ratio interval increases with mass ratio q, in contradiction with our previous findings. Stellar binaries belong to the region 0.03

E-scape : interactive visualization of single cell phylogenetics and spatio-temporal evolution in cancer
Creators: name: Smith, Maia A
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Cancers evolve over time and space, producing a dynamic, heterogeneous mixture of related cells. Reconstructing the evolution of each cancer requires sequencing tumour cells and processing resulting data with novel computational and statistical methods. These advances have led to numerous insights, both clinical and biological, but the ability for a biologist to interact with these results across an experimental workflow remains limited, with expert intuition often injected only through cumbersome iterations of data analysis. Here we describe E-scape, a visualization tool suite enabling interactive analysis of cancer heterogeneity and evolution. The suite includes three tools: TimeScape and MapScape for visualizing population dynamics over time and space, respectively, and CellScape for visualizing evolution at single cell resolution. The tools integrate phylogenetic, clonal prevalence, mutation and imaging data to generate intuitive views of a cancer's evolution.
"Jimbin Kaboo Yimardoowarra Marninil" - listening to Nyikina women's voices, from the inside to the outside. Nyikina women's agency: an intergenerational journey of cultural actions, economic, and self-determination initiatives, through film.
Creators: name: McDuffie, Magali
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2019

description: Magali McDuffie's PhD privileges the voices of Nyikina women, and looks at how they have influenced cultural actions, economic and self-determination initiatives, through filmed interviews and narratives. Collaborative films are used as part of a participatory, emancipatory and strongly Indigenist research design. Through a Foucauldian deconstruction of the dominant Western discourses that have underpinned Nyikina women's lived experiences, Magali McDuffie seeks to empower the women in their constantly evolving social and political roles, examining their agency and their community development aspirations in an increasingly neo-colonial global context. Magali deconstructs historical and historiographical discourses, anthropological data, legislative policies, development theory, as well as international Indigenous literature on agency, governance, and development, reflecting on the Nyikina women's continued involvement on the local, national, and international stage, and the significance of Booroo, Country, in a global development context.

description: We present Spitzer IRAC images of the HH 111 outflow, that show a wealth of condensations/knots in both jet and counterjet. Studying the positional distribution of these knots, we find very suggestive evidence of a mirror symmetric pattern in the jet/counterjet flow. We model this pattern as the result of an orbital motion of the jet source around a binary companion. From a fit of an analytic, ballistic model to the observed path of the HH 111 system, we find that the motion in a binary with two approx. 1 Msolar stars (one of them being the HH 111 source), in a circular orbit with a separation of approx. 186 AU would produce the mirror symmetric pattern seen in the outflow.

description: Neural activity during sensory-guided decision-making is strongly modulated by animal movements. Although the impact of movements on neural activity is now well-documented, the relationship between these movements and behavioral performance remains unclear. To understand this relationship, we first tested whether the magnitude of animal movements (assessed with posture analysis of 28 individual body parts) was correlated with performance on a perceptual decision-making task. No strong relationship was present, suggesting that task performance is not affected by the magnitude of movements. We then tested if performance instead depends on movement timing and trajectory. We partitioned the movements into two groups: task-aligned movements that were well predicted by task events (such as the onset of the sensory stimulus or choice) and task independent movement (TIM) that occurred independently of task events. TIM had a reliable, inverse correlation with performance in head-restrained mice and freely moving rats. This argues that certain movements, defined by their timing and trajectories relative to task events, might indicate periods of engagement or disengagement in the task. To confirm this, we compared TIM to the latent behavioral states recovered by a hidden Markov model with Bernoulli generalized linear model observations (GLM-HMM) and found these, again, to be inversely correlated. Finally, we examined the impact of these behavioral states on neural activity measured with widefield calcium imaging. The engaged state was associated with widespread increased activity, particularly during the delay period. However, a linear encoding model could account for more overall variance in neural activity in the disengaged state. Our analyses demonstrate that this is likely because uninstructed movements had a greater impact on neural activity during disengagement. Taken together, these findings suggest that TIM is informative about the internal state of engagement, and that movements and state together have a major impact on neural activity.

description: This work aims at determining the composition of certain $N^*$ and $\Delta$ resonances, i.e. whether they are compact states formed directly by quarks and gluons, or hadronic molecules generated from the meson-baryon interaction. The information of the resonance poles is provided by a comprehensive coupled-channel approach, the Jülich-Bonn model. $13$ states that are significant in this approach are studied. Two criteria for each state are adopted in this paper, the comparison thereof roughly indicates the model uncertainties. It is found that the conclusions for $8$ resonances are relatively certain: $N(1535) \frac{1}{2}^-$, $N(1440) \frac{1}{2}^+$, $N(1710) \frac{1}{2}^+$, and $N(1520) \frac{3}{2}^-$ tend to be composite; whereas $N(1650) \frac{1}{2}^-$, $N(1900) \frac{3}{2}^+$, $N(1680) \frac{5}{2}^+$, and $\Delta(1600) \frac{3}{2}^+$ tend to be compact.

The Boltzmann weights are expressed in terms of the elliptic gamma-function. The associated solvable lattice model admits various equivalent descriptions, including an interaction-round-a-face formulation with positive Boltzmann weights. In the quasi-classical limit the model leads to a new series of classical discrete integrable equations on planar graphs.

An investigation into the available resources used for the design of small temporary or non‐permanent surface water supply dams in emergencies

description: Current global trends, indicate that natural and man-made events (e.g. conflict, extreme weather phenomena), which result in mass people displacements and subsequent establishment of refugee/IDP camps, are likely to continue. The types of water supply systems built for these camps depend on available water sources, funding, technical expertise, expected duration of provision, and constraints set by hosting governments. Due to the usually expected temporary nature of refugee camps, socio-political and socio-economic pressure, infrastructure is often required to be temporary. This requirement can lead to inefficient designs and premature disqualification of viable solutions, e.g. small dams, due to lack of design resources or expertise. Design resources for large permanent dams are available, however this research utilised systematic review and survey research methods to investigate availability and adequacy of design resources for temporary small dams in emergencies. Design tools were developed and recommendations made towards comprehensive resources incorporating technical and nontechnical criteria.

Cumulative effects of sports-related subconcussive hits on response inhibition
Creators: name: Bryk, Kelsey Nicole
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Whereas it has been demonstrated that sustaining multiple concussions can detrimentally affect neurophysiologic health and cognitive abilities, there is no consensus on the cumulative effect of repetitive subconcussive head impacts in contact sports. Subconcussive hits are head impacts that are typically less forceful than concussive impacts. They occur much more frequently, and do not produce obvious or immediate clinical symptoms. The global objective of this research was to investigate how cumulative exposure to repetitive subconcussive hits, as experienced through participation in one season of competitive American football, affects response inhibition, one of many executive functions of the brain. In addition, accelerometers were used to collect biomechanical data to determine the cumulative number and magnitude of these repetitive head impacts and relate this to changes in response inhibition. Response inhibition was probed with the use of a complex neurocognitive sensorimotor KINARM hit-and-avoid task. This required the subject to use robotic arms to respond to virtual targets while avoiding multiple distractors presented simultaneously on a 2D virtual screen. The results showed a significant difference between the contact and non-contact sport athletes from pre-season to post-season, and therefore support this hypothesis. In addition, it was hypothesized that contact-sport athletes who experienced a greater cumulative number of head impacts over a season would show significantly poorer performance on the task of response inhibition compared to the contact-sport athletes who experienced a lesser cumulative number of head impacts. It was also hypothesized that contact-sport athletes who experienced a greater cumulative magnitude of head impacts over a season would show significantly greater poorer performance on the task of response inhibition compared to those athletes who experienced a lesser cumulative magnitude over the season. Interestingly, the results fail to support this hypothesis, and instead appear to support the opposite hypothesis. The findings from this thesis indicate that experiencing a season’s worth of subconcussive hits does appear to affect the specific executive function of response inhibition in contact-sport athletes, however other factors besides head impact data may play an important role in these adverse effects.

We find that the most important effect limiting the accuracy of the measurements is related to the intrinsic background variation in detectors. Taking into account all of the uncertainties arising during the measurements we conclude that the X-ray background intensity obtained in the INTEGRAL observations is compatible with the historic X-ray background observations performed by the HEAO-1 satellite.

In particular, it is established that the range of the Spearman's Rho is [-3/4,1] and that the upper tail dependence coefficient can reach any value in [0,1]. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given on the generating functions in order to obtain various dependence properties. Some examples of parametric subfamilies are provided.
Regulatory impacts on a Yup'ik fish camp in Southwest Alaska
Creators: name: Stariwat, Jory
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Yup’ik fishers on the Nushagak River of Southwest Alaska harvest salmon for both subsistence and commercial purposes, however their cultural protocol and formal resource management principles are unrecognized by the State of Alaska. Drawing from two summers of ethnographic research and experience as an Alaska Department of Fish & Game (ADF&G) anthropologist, I examine one state regulation preventing drift gillnetting for subsistence purposes. The analysis reveals that the Alaska Department of Fish & Game is currently preventing cultural adaptation on the Nushagak River despite Yup’ik communities maintaining sustainable harvest levels for millennia. Changes in river conditions, namely the location of sandbars and channels, in addition to warming water temperatures, necessitate the application of the traditional harvest method, drift gillnetting, to meet the harvest goals of Yup’ik fishers at the Lewis Point fish camp on the Nushagak River. The Alaska Board of Fisheries has maintained that drifting only be employed in the commercial fishery, not the subsistence fishery, despite policy dictating a subsistence priority over other consumptive uses. While failing to meet the subsistence priority codified in its own policy, the State of Alaska also fails to provide a meaningful role to the tribes in the decision-making domain of resource management. Yup’ik fishing is guided by a cultural ethos known as yuuyaraq, roughly translated to “the real way of life,” which provides a formal management institution that maintains continuity with the past while providing harvest protocol and principles for the present. The incorporation of Yup’ik intellectual traditions and cultural principles is necessary to provide the tribe a “meaningful role” in the natural resource management of Alaska.

description: We study the adhesion of poly(3-hexylthiophene) on nanostructured titania surface in vacuo by means of model potential molecular dynamics. We generate large scale atomistic models of nanostructured titania surfaces (consisting of spherical nanocaps on top of a (110) rutile surface) and we study the adhesion of an oligothiophene as a function of their local curvature and roughness. In the limit of a perfect planar surface, the maximum adhesion energy is calculated to be as large as 0:6 eV per monomer, and it corresponds to the oligothiophene oriented along the [$\bar{1}10$] direction of the surface. Deformations of the polymer are observed due the incommensurability between the titania and the polymer lattice parameters. When the surface is nanostructured, the adhesion of the polymer is affected by the local morphology and a nonmonotonic dependence on the surface curvature is observed. The atomistic results are explained by a simple um model that includes the strain energy of the polymer and its electrostatic interaction with the local surface charge.

description: A new naphthyridine analogue, named streptonaphthyridine A (1), together with eight previously reported compounds (2–9), were isolated from a Mariana Trench sediment-associated actinomycete Streptomyces sp. SY2111. Planar structure of streptonaphthyridine A was established by analyses of its HRESIMS data and extensive NMR spectra and its absolute configuration was determined by a combination of single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and optical rotation calculations. Streptonaphthyridine A (1) had antiproliferative activity against human glioma U87MG and U251 cells with IC50 values of 7.9 ± 1.3 and 13.4 ± 2.7 µM, respectively, and the known compound monomethylsulochrin (7) showed more potent activity with IC50 values of 0.6 ± 0.1 µM for U87MG cells and 0.1 ± 0.0 µM for U251 cells.

description: Assuming that a democracy of places can only be a community democracy, the paper seeks for the conditions that can foster its growth; and finds them in the analytical and proactive application of the concept of urban bioregion, apt to activate territorial visions and practices that bring together, on the one hand, the recognition, re-appropriation and enhancement of local territorial heritages by “concrete communities” of dwellers-producers, on the other hand entrusting their management, as common goods, to new institutions of community self-government; connected in a complex architecture of “inter-organizational networks” – horizontal and vertical, subsidiary and non-hierarchical – able to reorient the decision-making vector ‘from below’ and giving rise to a “higher-order local”.

description: The territorialist approach proposes an original version of democracy, emphasizing the role of many place-based experiences of self-organization that trigger specifically political paths. In this paper, the idea of ​​participatory federalism proposed by Alberto Magnaghi is discussed raising three challenging issues: the need to move from a local approach to a trans-scalar approach; the need to promote collaboration and reciprocity, but also to renew redistribution and social protection within an enabling public action framework; the need to promote multiple identities. Furthermore, it is argued that not only local populations, but also some ‘traditional’ intermediate bodies, such as trade unions, are experimenting with new forms of political action. In conclusion, it is argued that this plurality of actors and patterns suggests a perspective of democratic political experimentalism, which brings together different actors, different rationalities, different forms of integration of the economy in the social space, different scales of action.

description: We report on the manipulation of the center-of-mass motion (`sloshing') of a Bose Einstein condensate in a time-averaged orbiting potential (TOP) trap. We start with a condensate at rest in the center of a static trapping potential. When suddenly replacing the static trap with a TOP trap centered about the same position, the condensate starts to slosh with an amplitude much larger than the TOP micromotion. We show, both theoretically and experimentally, that the direction of sloshing is related to the initial phase of the rotating magnetic field of the TOP. We show further that the sloshing can be quenched by applying a carefully timed and sized jump in the phase of the rotating field.

Simulations of radiation pressure experiments
Creators: name: Bethune-Waddell, Maximilien
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Electromagnetic radiation, such as light, can exert a force on objects. This phenomena is referred to as radiation pressure. A popular example would be the radiation pressure from the sun which is presently the only force pushing NASA's Kepler II satellite out of our solar system. The most important material property relevant to radiation pressure is the refractive index n. The vacuum of space around the Kepler satellite has a refractive index of n=1. For this situation our ability to model radiation pressure is quite certain. There has been a debate over the last century on how to model radiation pressure in the presence of matter, where the refractive index of the surrounding medium can be n >1. Five prevalent models exist for electrodynamics, namely the Abraham, Minkowksi, Einstein-Laub, Chu, or the Amperian formulations. Various electrodynamic theories presented over the last century have differences that only arise in exotic situations such as objects in liquid environments, material moving at relativistic speeds, and short timescales difficult to measure. Because technology has now advanced to potentially include these situations, this thesis addresses the renewed attention this debate requires. Each of these models are tested against two criteria using a simulation tool that solves for both electromagnetic and fluid dynamic phenomena. First, their compliance with the conservation laws of energy, momentum, and center-of-mass velocity. Second, their accord with experimental results. A simulation environment is used to calculate the conserved quantities and observable effects that each model predicts under various experimental conditions. The simulation tool is a Matlab script that allows us to consider and compare the results of many experiments simultaneously. Five significant experiments are analyzed in this thesis: the radiation pressure observed on metallic and dielectric mirrors, the deformation of a water-air interface, the deformation of a fluid-fluid interface, the displacement of polystyrene beads submerged in water, and the displacement of an oil droplet on a water surface. This thesis reaches the conclusion that not enough data is available from past experiments to verify a single electrodynamic theory. Our work suggests simple new experiments that could.

description: In Rome, we have a wide diffusion of self-organization experiences, not only related to squatting for housing purposes. Self-organization practices and processes are widespread in the cities, not only in Rome, but also in the rest of Italy and abroad. The forms of self-organization certainly reveal a great potential. First, they express a social ‘protagonism’ that involves important social organization skills. Secondly, they allow building social fabric and symbolic values. They also carry out a service ‘for’ and ‘in’ territories and represent today one of the few ways to reconstruct democratic conditions within a historical phase of crisis of democracy. Thus, they are actually today the places where political culture is being produced. Such politics could be defined as ‘signifying’ because it is able to express the emerging meanings pertinent to the social conditions of everyday life, that “magma of emerging social meanings” that Castoriadis (1975) associates with the “establishing society”. The contribution, referring to the extensive on-field research in the Roman context, aims at a broader general reflection, highlighting the criticalities emerging in urban contexts more strongly exposed to the pressure of extractive capitalism and the welfare state retreat, the difficulties and ambiguities with respect to the formation of alleged ‘urban communities’, the real conditions for constructing alternative policies and new actorship, re-signification processes and a “signifying politics”.

description: The spread and growing importance assumed, also in Italy, by a variety of actions revealing a new key role of social organizations and groups in transforming parts of cities and territories, diverge to a large extent from institutionalised practices of territorial government. In an era characterized by a strong delegitimization of the ‘public’, this disconnection produces a series of negative consequences. Among these, the risk not only of not affecting the increasing socio-spatial inequalities, but also of widening the gap between citizens and institutions, fuelling possessive individualism and populisms. The irruption of active citizenship into the practices of territorial transformation implies a significant detachment from the interpretation of participatory democracy prevailing in the theory and practice of spatial planning: the focus shifts from opening spaces for decision and public choice to different stakeholders to widening spaces for active mobilization of citizens in the production and reproduction of their living environments. The contribution reflects on the need to rebuild the problematic relationship between grassroots initiatives and territorial planning and on the horizons of possibilities towards community self-government opened by a different interpretation of ‘public’ territorial governance.

Reti integrate di comunità per la sperimentazione di nuove forme di democrazia di comunità

Publisher: name: Scienze del Territorio

description: In response to the strong crisis of representative democracy, an active citizenship movement has been formed which is experimenting throughout Italy innovative community forms, new ways of living and cooperative solidarity systems opposite to the main social trends of our times. The experimentation of social management of territories is the result of the most recent experiences of application of negotiating tools, capable of triggering multiscalar paths and generating integrated networks of communities. An example of such experiences are River Agreements, which attempt to experiment forms of direct democracy. The paper presents two experiences that, born from the bottom and triggered by conflictive situations generated by ‘NIMBY’ issues, find their strength in the path of community empowerment and actually turn critical issues into opportunities for growth. In both cases the ability to create networks and the framework of research-action in which they develop represent the strengths of the building path of the River Agreement. The first experience concerns the Simeto River Agreement, born from an anti-incinerator campaign activated in 2002. The second concerns the Ombrone River Agreement, promoted by a small local committee born in 2012. Such experiences, through River Agreements, can modify and affect governance models and produce concrete social impacts, if they succeed in creating a dense network of horizontal and vertical synergies from the local to the vast area scale.

Calibration biases in measurements of weak lensing

description: As recently shown by Viola et al., the common (KSB) method for measuring weak gravitational shear creates a non-linear relation between the measured and the true shear of objects. We investigate here what effect such a non-linear calibration relation may have on cosmological parameter estimates from weak lensing if a simpler, linear calibration relation is assumed. We show that the non-linear relation introduces a bias in the shear-correlation amplitude and thus a bias in the cosmological parameters Omega_matter and sigma_8. Its direction and magnitude depends on whether the point-spread function is narrow or wide compared to the galaxy images from which the shear is measured. Substantial over- or underestimates of the cosmological parameters are equally possible, depending also on the variant of the KSB method. Our results show that for trustable cosmological-parameter estimates from measurements of weak lensing, one must verify that the method employed is free from ellipticity-dependent biases or monitor that the calibration relation inferred from simulations is applicable to the survey at hand.

Software-Defect Localisation by Mining Dataflow-Enabled Call Graphs

description: Defect localisation is essential in software engineering and is an important task in domain-specific data mining. Existing techniques building on call-graph mining can localise different kinds of defects. However, these techniques focus on defects that affect the controlflow and are agnostic regarding the dataflow. In this paper, we introduce dataflow-enabled call graphs that incorporate abstractions of the dataflow. Building on these graphs, we present an approach for defect localisation. The creation of the graphs and the defect localisation are essentially data mining problems, making use of discretisation, frequent subgraph mining and feature selection. We demonstrate the defect-localisation qualities of our approach with a study on defects introduced into Weka. As a result, defect localisation now works much better, and a developer has to investigate on average only 1.5 out of 30 methods to fix a defect.
Charge asymmetry of top quarks

description: The LHC is a promising machine to discover new physics in the top sector. There are several models that predict the existence of heavy colored resonances decaying to top quarks in the TeV energy range. The production of such resonances might generate a sizable charge asymmetry of top versus antitop quarks. At the Tevatron, a 2 sigma discrepancy with the SM prediction for the forward--backward asymmetry has been found, boosting a renewed interest for this kind of models. We consider a toy model with general flavour dependent couplings of the resonance to quarks, of both vector and axial-vector kind and investigate the possible constraints on the coupling space from the measurement of the asymmetry and the invariant mass distribution at the Tevatron. Then, we define a central asymmetry in a specific kinematic region and investigate its signature at the LHC as well as its statistical significance, for exclusive processes.

Autogestione del lavoro, territorio ed istituzionalità popolare

description: In the middle of the capitalistic crisis, new self-organization practices starting from the self-management of labour are growing up in Latin America, extending to territories and redefining from below social relationships and conflict forms in the metropolitan spaces. While opening up new processes of organization both of production and social reproduction, these heterogeneous social, political, cultural and economic frameworks contribute to the production of common spaces in popular neighbourhoods where education, labour and social reproduction are reorganized inside and against the dispossession and exploitation processes that characterize neoliberal urbanism. The current neoliberal global regime of accumulation combines privatization of welfare and services with financialization of economy, intensifying the exploitation of social cooperation and the control of urban space. In this context, analyzing the experiences of the recuperated factory “19 de Diciembre”, where I developed an ethnographic fieldwork in Buenos Aires, I reflect on the implication of her popular-communitarian frameworks and their capacity to redefine the urban form from below experimenting new ways to organize labour and urban life in common, like social infrastructures of an emergent popular institutionality that helps renovate social, unionist and cooperative practices, showing us new spaces where social conflict develops and changes.

description: We present an Echelle+CCD, high S/N, high resolution (R = 20\,000) spectroscopic atlas of 108 well-known objects representative of the most common types of peculiar and variable stars. The wavelength interval extends from 4600 to 9400 Ang, and includes the RAVE, Gaia and HERMES wavelength ranges. Multi-epoch spectra are provided for the majority of observed stars. A total of 425 spectra of peculiar stars are presented, which have been collected during 56 observing nights between November 1998 and August 2002. The spectra are given in FITS format and heliocentric wavelengths, with accurate subtraction of both the sky background and the scattered light. Auxiliary material useful for custom applications (telluric dividers, spectro-photometric stars, flat-field tracings) is also provided. The atlas aims to provide a homogeneous database of the spectral appearance of stellar peculiarities, a tool useful both for classification purposes and inter-comparison studies. It could also serve the planning for and training of automated classification algorithms designed for RAVE, Gaia, HERMES and other large scale spectral surveys. The spectrum of XX Oph is discussed in some detail as an example of the content of the present atlas.
