description: The temperature dependence of the pulse length was measured for an 18-fold segmented n-type germanium detector in the temperature range of 77-120 K. The interactions of 122 keV photons originating from a Europium-152 source were selected and pulses as observed on the core and segment electrodes were studied. In both cases, the temperature dependence can be well described by a Boltzmann-like ansatz.

We devote special attention to the constraints from the t tbar tail at LHC on the parameter space, which will be dramatic if the measurements agree with the SM prediction, specially for Z' and W' bosons. We also study the predictions for the charge asymmetries at LHC and compare several proposed definitions.

The importance of nebular emission for SED modeling of distant star-forming galaxies

description: We highlight and discuss the importance of accounting for nebular emission in the SEDs of high redshift galaxies, as lines and continuum emission can contribute significantly or subtly to broad-band photometry. Physical parameters such as the galaxy age, mass, star-formation rate, dust attenuation and others inferred from SED fits can be affected to different extent by the treatment of nebular emission. We analyse a large sample of Lyman break galaxies from z~3-6, and show some main results illustrating e.g. the importance of nebular emission for determinations of the mass-SFR relation, attenuation and age. We suggest that a fairly large scatter in such relations could be intrinsic. We find that the majority of objects (~60-70%) is better fit with SEDs accounting for nebular emission; the remaining galaxies are found to show relatively weak or no emission lines. Our modeling, and supporting empirical evidence, suggests the existence of two categories of galaxies, "starbursts" and "post-starbursts" (lower SFR and older galaxies) among the LBG population, and relatively short star-formation timescales.

description: Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) is the causative agent of Johne’s disease, a chronic wasting disease common in dairy cattle. Currently, there are no effective vaccines to prevent infection and fecal bacterial shedding. To determine potential targets for a live- attenuated vaccine strain 12 Holstein-Friesian dairy calves were inoculated with 5 x 10^10 CFUs on two consecutive days with a mutant library from MAP strain A1-157. MAP was cultured 2 and 4 mo post inoculation from intestinal tissues and lymph nodes. Quantitative PCR was used to assess changes in proportions of select gene mutants between intestinal tissues and the inoculum; this method failed to confirm previously described essential genes. After applying filtering parameters, targeted next generation sequencing discovered 42 genes absent from all tissues which are involved in DNA transcription, pathogenesis, metabolism and biosynthesis, and oxidation-reduction reactions. These results provide many potential genes for attenuation of MAP for the creation of candidate vaccine strains.

description: We analyze the backaction of homodyne detection and photodetection on superconducting qubits in circuit quantum electrodynamics. Although both measurement schemes give rise to backaction in the form of stochastic phase rotations, which leads to dephasing, we show that this can be perfectly undone provided that the measurement signal is fully accounted for. This result improves upon that of Phys. Rev. A, 82, 012329 (2010), showing that the method suggested can be made to realize a perfect two-qubit parity measurement. We propose a benchmarking experiment on a single qubit to demonstrate the method using homodyne detection. By analyzing the limited measurement efficiency of the detector and bandwidth of the amplifier, we show that the parameter values necessary to see the effect are within the limits of existing technology.

Investigating Novel Methods for Using Water in Analytical Extractions and Separations

description: This thesis describes the development of novel methods for using water in analytical extractions and separations to reduce organic solvent use, decrease environmental impact and lower operation costs. The first area of exploration is the sample preparation of pharmaceutical formulations, which is conventionally time consuming and organic solvent intensive. Here, subcritical water extraction (SWE) is employed as an inexpensive and environmentally friendly technique to rapidly extract active pharmaceutical ingredients from commercial formulations using only water as the solvent. Quantitative recoveries are obtained from different sample forms including capsule contents and intact tablets, the latter of which demonstrates the potential of SWE to minimize sample handling. Overall, SWE is shown to be a potentially viable method for fast, inexpensive and green sample preparation of pharmaceuticals in both capsule and tablet form. Next, the coating properties of a water stationary phase in a capillary supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) system are investigated. It is shown that the water phase is uniformly deposited inside stainless steel (SS) columns of varying length and i.d., resulting in a consistent water coverage per area. Hydrofluoric acid etching is explored to increase water stationary phase volume, where prolonged etching of the inner capillary wall served to double water volume and analyte retention. Results indicate that etching could be a useful method to control the volume of water in the column while still maintaining good chromatographic peak shapes and plate heights. Finally, the utility of a water stationary phase is expanded by demonstrating the use of SS particles as a novel support for this phase in a packed column SFC format. Compared to analogous separations employing a water stationary phase coated onto a SS capillary column, the packed column gives faster separations and larger analyte retention factors with comparable plate heights and good peak shapes. Further, the increased volume of stationary phase in the packed column leads to a larger sample capacity. Several applications of the packed column system are examined, and the results indicate that it is a useful alternative to the capillary column mode, particularly where analyte loads or sample matrix interference is a concern.

description: High blood pressure is often called the “silent killer”

Most of the time, high blood pressure (HBP, or hypertension) has no obvious symptoms to indicate that something is wrong. The best ways to protect yourself are being aware of the risks and making changes that matter.

A few facts to be aware of:

Many people with high blood pressure don’t even know they have it. Often the signs and symptoms are misunderstood.

High blood pressure develops slowly over time and can be related to many causes.

High blood pressure cannot be cured. But it can be managed effectively through lifestyle changes and, when needed, medication.

Be aware of your risk factors – the physical and lifestyle attributes that can make you more likely to develop high blood pressure.

Awareness of your risks can help you identify positive changes that you can make. Do all you can to avoid the serious problems that can result from your blood pressure being too high for too long.
Detrital Zircon Geochronology with Applications to North American Tectonics

subject: Geochronology

description: Detrital zircons from rocks in the eastern and western portions of the North American Cordillera were used to constrain tectonic models for the orogen. In the eastern Cordillera, regional provenance patterns in latest-Neoproterozoic to Cambrian sandstones were analysed and five detrital zircon facies defined based on statistical intercomparison using multi-dimensional scaling. Detrital zircon facies occur in unique geographical regions reflecting proximity to the major tectonic provinces of Laurentia. Samples from northern regions are dominated by Archean and Paleoproterozoic zircons derived from Archean cratons and orogenic belts that record their assembly. More southerly sample locations show an increase in detrital zircons derived from younger Paleoproterozoic orogenic belts and early Mesoproterozoic intrusive suites. Detrital zircons from Grenville–aged sources are common in the south. The east-west continuity of detrital zircon facies between rocks of the North American and Cassiar/Antler platforms argues against the latter being exotic with respect to North America, supports the back-arc models for Cordilleran orogenesis, and argues against models involving Jurassic or Cretaceous ribbon continent collision. In the western Cordillera we compare detrital zircon populations from the Nanaimo Basin, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, to potential source areas in western North America to test hypothesized northern and southern Cretaceous paleogeographic positions for the basin. Our detrital zircon data suggest that sediment in the Nanaimo Basin derives from the Western Coast Mountains Batholith and the Mojave-Sonoran Region of southwestern North America, supporting a southerly Cretaceous paleogeographic position and confirming previous paleomagnetic estimates. A speculative Cretaceous to Paleogene paleogeographic reconstruction for the southwestern United States and northern Mexico that accommodates the presence, and northward transport, of the westernmost terrane of the Cordillera is presented. It is proposed that the Western Coast Mountains Batholith and the Nanaimo Basin represent the missing segment of the Mesozoic magmatic arc and associated forearc regions, between the Sierra Nevada and Peninsular Ranges Batholiths. This segment was translated northward following capture by the Kula plate. As such, we reconcile the paleomagnetic data for the Baja-BC block with the geology of the southwestern United States. Our model, albeit speculative, is compatible with the large-scale tectonic and magmatic processes that affected western North America in the Late Cretaceous and Paleogene.
Regulation of functional cell surface expression by oligomerization and N-linked glycosylation of membrane proteins
Creators: name: Whitaker, Gina M
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Oligomerization and N-linked glycosylation are processes thought to be initiated in the ER during translation and act to regulate the trafficking and functional surface expression of many ion channels and G protein-coupled receptors. HCN channels are known to form tetrameric channels from identical subunits as a prerequisite for functional cell surface expression. Different HCN subunits may also co-assemble to form heteromeric channels with unique properties. Using BRET and immunofluorescence analysis, along with electrophysiology, HCN2 and HCN4 were shown to form functional channels with current properties intermediate of those observed when either isoform is expressed. Furthermore, when expressed in equal amounts in CHO cells, HCN2 and HCN4 did not exhibit preference for homo- versus hetero-oligomerization. Many GPCRs are capable of associating as dimers or higher order oligomers. However the functional and physiological relevance of this type of interaction is not uniform for all GPCRs. The ability of both GIP and GLP-1 receptors to form oligomeric complexes was examined using BRET. The resulting saturation curves suggest that GIPR and GLP-1R are capable of forming receptor homomers and heteromers in CHO cells. The effects of N-linked glycosylation on GPCR trafficking and function are diverse and depend on the receptor studied and whether or not this receptor contains one or more consensus sites for N-glycan binding. Like many family B GPCRs, both the GIP and GLP-1 receptors possess large extracellular N-terminal domains with multiple consensus sites for N-linked glycosylation. Each of these Asn residues was shown to be glycosylated when either human receptor was expressed in CHO cells. Complete removal of N-linked glycosylation severely impaired and completely abolished functional surface expression of GLP-1R and GIPR, respectively. Furthermore, tunicamycin treatment decreased GIPR cell surface number and impaired GIP-potentiated glucose-induced insulin release in an INS-1 pancreatic beta cell line. These results highlight the importance of N-linked glycosylation in regulating the amount of GIPR or GLP-1R at the cell surface. Overall, these results expand upon the diverse roles of oligomerization and N-linked glycosylation in the regulation of membrane protein functional cell surface expression.

description: FoF1-ATP synthases in Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria are membrane-bound enzymes which use an internal proton-driven rotary double motor to catalyze the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). According to the 'chemiosmotic hypothesis', a series of proton pumps generate the necessary pH difference plus an electric potential across the bacterial plasma membrane. These proton pumps are redox-coupled membrane enzymes which are possibly organized in supercomplexes, as shown for the related enzymes in the mitochondrial inner membrane. We report diffusion measurements of single fluorescent FoF1-ATP synthases in living E. coli by localization microscopy and single enzyme tracking to distinguish a monomeric enzyme from a supercomplex-associated form in the bacterial membrane. For quantitative mean square displacement (MSD) analysis, the limited size of the observation area in the membrane with a significant membrane curvature had to be considered. The E. coli cells had a diameter of about 500 nm and a length of about 2 to 3 \mum. Because the surface coordinate system yielded different localization precision, we applied a sliding observation window approach to obtain the diffusion coefficient D = 0.072 \mum2/s of FoF1-ATP synthase in living E. coli cells.

description: Radiolysis products were identified in gamma irradiated PUREX solvent under simulated conditions encountered during reprocessing of fast reactor spent nuclear fuel. The irradiated solvent after alkali wash was fractionally distilled for the ease of their analysis. Spectroscopic analysis of various fractions using techniques like Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), gas chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) revealed formation of various classes of compounds which result from fragmentation as well as recombination. 4-Decanol, 4-dodecanol, and oxalic acid were identified as the diluent degradation products. Metal retention behavior suggested the diluent recovered through distillation can be reused as neat diluent.

description: It was recently demonstrated in [5] that the non-linear bilateral filter [14] can be efficiently implemented using a constant-time or O(1) algorithm. At the heart of this algorithm was the idea of approximating the Gaussian range kernel of the bilateral filter using trigonometric functions. In this letter, we explain how the idea in [5] can be extended to few other linear and non-linear filters [14, 17, 2]. While some of these filters have received a lot of attention in recent years, they are known to be computationally intensive. To extend the idea in [5], we identify a central property of trigonometric functions, called shiftability, that allows us to exploit the redundancy inherent in the filtering operations. In particular, using shiftable kernels, we show how certain complex filtering can be reduced to simply that of computing the moving sum of a stack of images. Each image in the stack is obtained through an elementary pointwise transform of the input image. This has a two-fold advantage. First, we can use fast recursive algorithms for computing the moving sum [15, 6], and, secondly, we can use parallel computation to further speed up the computation. We also show how shiftable kernels can also be used to approximate the (non-shiftable) Gaussian kernel that is ubiquitously used in image filtering.

description: This work is focused on separation and purification of resveratrol from Polygonum cuspidatum by macroporous adsorption resin (MAR) mixed-bed technology. Firstly, the optimal MAR mixed-bed was obtained according to the adsorption and desorption performance of 32 kinds of MAR. Then, operation conditions of adsorption and desorption were investigated and optimized, and optimal operation conditions were obtained. Under optimal conditions, the adsorption capacity and adsorption ratio arrived at 23.89 mg g−1 and 98.53% separately, while the desorption ratio and purity would be 82.05% and 19.32%. The purity was increased by 5 times in the crude extraction after an adsorption/desorption circle. Finally, the adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics were discussed.

Distribution. * Norway, Sweden —Westpalearctic (?): Europe, Asia Minor and North Africa (Linsenmaier 1959, 1968, 1999). The general distribution is poorly known, because many authors have considered O. puncticollis to be conspecific with O. aeneus.
Remarks. The status of this taxon has varied considerably in the literature. While some authors have considered it to be a valid species (e.g. Morgan 1984, Kunz 1994, Rosa 2006) others have classified it as a form of O. aeneus (e.g. Trautmann 1927, Linsenmaier 1959, 1997, Kimsey & Bohart 1991, Mingo 1994). Recent unpublished DNA COI barcode studies suggest that O. puncticollis significantly differs genetically from O. aeneus, and most likely should be classified as a distinct species. Morphological and ecological differences have not yet been studied in detail, but apparently O. puncticollis is characterized by large mesonotal punctures, relatively hairy mesonotum, and a deep posteromedian notch on the third tergite. So far, the occurrence of O. puncticollis has been confirmed from Norway and Sweden by DNA barcoding. The distribution of the species is still poorly known in the studied area.

We numerically investigate the phase diagram of the $J_{1}$-$J_{2}$ XY model using both the tensor network algorithm for infinite systems and the exact diagonalization for small clusters and find strong evidence that in the intermediate region around $% J_{2}/J_{1}\sim 0.5$, there is a spin liquid phase with vanishing magnetization and valence bond orders, which interconnects the Neel state on the $J_{2}\ll J_{1}$ side and the stripe antiferromagnetic phase on the $% J_{2}\gg J_{1}$ side. This finding opens up the possibility of studying the exotic spin liquid phase in a realistic experimental system using ultracold atoms in an optical lattice.

description: Aims: The X-ray emission of massive stars has been studied when these objects are in their main-sequence phase, as well as in their Wolf-Rayet phase. However, the X-ray properties of the transitional Luminous Blue Variable (LBV) phase remain unknown. Methods: Using a dedicated but limited XMM survey as well as archival XMM and Chandra observations, we performed the first X-ray survey of LBVs: about half of the known LBVs or candidate LBVs are studied. Results: Apart from the well known X-ray sources eta Car and Cyg OB2 #12, four additional LBVs are detected in this survey, though some doubt remains on the association with the X-ray source for two of these. For the other LBVs, upper limits on the flux were derived, down to $\log[L_{\rm X}/L_{\rm BOL}]-9.4$ for PCyg. This variety in the strength of the X-ray emission is discussed, with particular emphasis on the potential influence of binarity.

description: Probability forecasts of events are routinely used in climate predictions, in forecasting default probabilities on bank loans or in estimating the probability of a patient's positive response to treatment. Scoring rules have long been used to assess the efficacy of the forecast probabilities after observing the occurrence, or nonoccurrence, of the predicted events. We develop herein a statistical theory for scoring rules and propose an alternative approach to the evaluation of probability forecasts. This approach uses loss functions relating the predicted to the actual probabilities of the events and applies martingale theory to exploit the temporal structure between the forecast and the subsequent occurrence or nonoccurrence of the event.

description: In this work, a new anion exchanger adsorbent was synthesized based on modified natural polymeric fish bone powder. The obtained adsorbent was investigated by Field Emission Scanning Electron Micrographs (FESEM), Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra. The effects of solution pH, contact time, initial concentration of nitrate, adsorbent dosage, temperature, and competing anions (ammonium chloride, phosphate, bicarbonate sodium, magnesium sulfate) on nitrate adsorption were investigated. The maximum nitrate removal efficiency was achieved 98.83%. Antimicrobial activity of adsorbent was carried out by disc diffusion method against two Gram-negative bacteria namely E. coli and P. aeruginosa, and also two fungi species of Aspergillus niger and Saccharomyces cerevisiae in vitro.
Osmosis/Zymosis: The Integration of Eastern Mediterranean Music Elements in Contemporary Composition
Creators: name: Andronikou, Michalis
Publisher: name: Graduate Studies

Subjects: subject: Music
subject: Composition

description: Osmosis/Zymosis is a work of twenty minutes duration, for a mixed chamber ensemble (augmented “Pierrot ensemble”) comprising flute, clarinet, violin, violoncello, piano and percussion. The underlying concept of the work is based on the integration into contemporary Western music practice of musical gestures derived from the Eastern Mediterranean tradition. The title consists of two scientific terms used to describe chemical and biological processes: “Osmosis” refers to the gradual absorption of one solution by another, and “Zymosis” refers to both the process of fermentation and the development or the spread of an infection. These Greek words are also useful for the description of the blending of cultures and especially for individuals who face displacement or immigration. A related concept in anthropology would be the rite of passage, a ritualistic event that marks a person’s transition from one status to another. A music composition that incorporates elements transferred from one culture to another is even more than that. Both the process and the resulting work are steps towards musical maturity and openness. In many ways the integration of music elements from one culture into another is a glimpse to the future, which could be helpful in bridging cultural and aesthetic differences. In this compositional project, a clear, balanced and intuitive combination of elements from both cultures is attempted. One of the things that I have learned through this experience is that this path is always inviting and endless for anyone who is willing to take one more step.
Molière's heavy fathers : an analysis of the behaviour and representation of three tyrannical patriarchs
Creators: name: Linan, Kathryn Victoria
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study presents an analysis of the behaviour of three heavy fathers from Molière’s works: Orgon from Le Tartuffe, Harpagon from L’Avare, and Argan from Le Malade imaginaire. Molière’s heavy fathers are often instigators of conflict, perturbing order in their household and its day-to-day life (the term ‘heavy father’ was originally referred to as senex iratus, as identified by Northrop Frye). Inspired by the ideas of divine-right kingship and the family viewed as a monarchy, this study will examine the historical context in which the plays were written reflecting on the concept of authority and the parallelism between the father as the head of a household and the King as head of a nation. Ultimately, the study seeks to confirm how these fathers compare with the concept of the ideal head of a household based on standards of the seventeenth century. The inquiry begins by attempting to establish a heavy father’s logic that would justify and explain Molière’s heavy fathers’ tyrannical behaviour, thus suggesting that they are ideal fathers with validations for their actions. The next chapter, however, takes a completely opposite approach, citing downfalls that would point to their being anything but ideal. Specifically, it addresses the shortcomings displayed by Molière’s heavy fathers that lead to the rebellion and misbehaviour of the members of the family. The final chapter reveals through the combination of the ideas presented in the previous chapters, the distinctive idiosyncrasy of Molière’s heavy fathers that prevents them from being the ideal seventeenth century patriarch. Inherent to Orgon, Harpagon and Argan is a susceptibility to detachment: they detach themselves from the prescribed duty of a father, from family, and from reality. This is in opposition to the fundamental role of a leader whether they be the head of a household or a kingdom. Molière’s heavy fathers are not ideal seventeenth century heads of households because it is in their nature to disunite people and things while the essential function of a leader is to hold together, or 'relier'.

description: Monthly gravity field recovery using data from the GRACE and GRACE Follow-On missions includes errors limiting the spatial and temporal resolution of the estimated gravity fields. The major error contributions, besides the noise of the accelerometer instruments, arise from temporal aliasing errors due to imperfections in the non-tidal atmospheric and oceanic de-aliasing models and ocean tide models. We derive uncertainty information for the eight major tidal constituents from five different ocean tide models and introduce it into the gravity field recovery process in terms of a constrained normal equation system while expanding the parameter space by additional tidal parameters to be adjusted. We prove the effectiveness of the ocean tide variance-covariance information through realistic simulations and we assess its potential based on microwave and laser interferometer observations from the GRACE Follow-On mission. We show that errors are reduced by more than 20% ocean wRMS for a Gaussian filter radius of 300 km if uncertainty information for ocean tides is considered and stochastic modeling of instrument errors is applied, compared to the latest GFZ release 6.1. Our results also show the limited visibility of the effectiveness of the ocean tide variance-covariance information due to the dominating error contribution of non-tidal atmospheric and oceanic mass variations. Additionally, we investigate the option of estimating ocean tide parameters over a 1-year period while including ocean tide uncertainty information in order to improve ocean tide background modeling.
Strong field effects on emission line profiles: Kerr black holes and warped accretion disks

description: If an accretion disk around a black hole is illuminated by hard X-rays from non-thermal coronae, fluorescent iron lines will be emitted from the inner region of the accretion disk. The emission line profiles will show a variety of strong field effects, which may be used as a probe of the spin parameter of the black hole and the structure of the accretion disk. In this paper we generalize the previous relativistic line profile models by including both the black hole spinning effects and the non-axisymmetries of warped accretion disks. Our results show different features from the conventional calculations for either a flat disk around a Kerr black hole or a warped disk around a Schwarzschild black hole by presenting, at the same time, multiple peaks, rather long red tails and time variations of line profiles with the precession of the disk. We show disk images as seen by a distant observer, which are distorted by the strong gravity. Although we are primarily concerned with the iron K-shell lines in this paper, the calculation is general and is valid for any emission lines produced from a warped accretion disk around a black hole.

Vibro-Acoustic Monitoring of Pipeline Leakage and Corrosion
Creators: name: Sharma, Vishash
Publisher: name: Graduate Studies
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Mechanical
subject: Pipeline,Vibro-acoustic,ANFIS,FE Analysis

description: Pipeline networks are economical means of transporting oil and gas. Most pipelines have been designed with a typical life span of 25 to 30 years. Existing pipelines are aging and quite susceptible to failure, due to poor construction of joints, corrosion, fatigue and material cracks. Accidents, terrorist activities, sabotage or theft can also cause leak disasters. Prevention of catastrophic failures of pipelines is critical for public safety and the environment. In order to maintain the healthy state of pipelines, continuous and accurate monitoring of pipelines is crucial, especially for corrosion and leakage. In order to reduce the impact of petroleum product spills, quick and effective leakage detection is needed to mitigate the problem. The focus of this study is the development of a novel pipeline monitoring scheme to detect faults such as corrosion and leakage. Dynamic properties, such as frequency response functions (FRFs) and transient responses, of the pipeline system can change when faults occur. In the case of a corroded pipeline or leaky pipeline system, the mass and stiffness of the pipeline changes, thereby changing the FRFs of the pipeline system. The variation in the dynamic parameters is used to predict the presence of the corrosion or leakage in the pipeline system. Experimental modal analysis was performed using a small-scale pipeline setup in various operating and physical conditions. In parallel, finite element analysis was undertaken for the same physical and operating conditions of the pipeline. A novel adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) based scheme was developed for pipeline monitoring using fuzzy rules and neural networks. The trained ANFIS architecture was tested with a number of sets of dynamic parameters that were obtained by simulating leakage and corrosion in the pipeline and by varying the pressure and flow rate. The results show that the ANFIS-based pipeline monitoring system can accurately predict the corrosion or leakage in the pipeline with an acceptable band of errors. The predicted results validates that the ANFIS-based pipeline monitoring system is less time-consuming and more flexible through the use of fuzzy rules incorporated with real-world systems.
