description: There is currently no consensus on how wastewater-based surveillance systems should be evaluated, and no evaluation framework exists for public health wastewater-based surveillance systems. Therefore, this scoping review will be used to guide the development of a public health environmental surveillance evaluation framework, to be used for the evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 wastewater-based surveillance systems and future emerging pathogens of public health importance.
Light shining through walls

description: Shining light through walls? At first glance this sounds crazy. However, very feeble gravitational and electroweak effects allow for this exotic possibility. Unfortunately, with present and near future technologies the opportunity to observe light shining through walls via these effects is completely out of question. Nevertheless there are quite a number of experimental collaborations around the globe involved in this quest. Why are they doing it? Are there additional ways of sending photons through opaque matter? Indeed, various extensions of the standard model of particle physics predict the existence of new particles called WISPs - extremely weakly interacting slim particles. Photons can convert into these hypothetical particles, which have no problems to penetrate very dense materials, and these can reconvert into photons after their passage - as if light was effectively traversing walls. We review this exciting field of research, describing the most important WISPs, the present and future experiments, the indirect hints from astrophysics and cosmology pointing to the existence of WISPs, and finally outlining the consequences that the discovery of WISPs would have.

description: We present line lists for ammonia (NH$_{3}$) at high temperatures obtained by recording Fourier transform infrared emission spectra. Calibrated line lists are presented for twelve temperatures (300 -- 1300$^{\circ}$C in 100$^{\circ}$C intervals and 1370$^{\circ}$C) and each line list covers the 740 -- 2100 cm$^{-1}$ range, which includes the majority of the $ν_{2}$ umbrella bending mode region (11 $μ$m) and the $ν_{4}$ asymmetric bending mode region (6.2 $μ$m). We also demonstrate the useful technique of obtaining empirical lower state energies from a set of spectra recorded at different sample temperatures. Using our NH$_{3}$ spectra, we have estimated lower state energies ($E_{Low}$ in cm$^{-1}$) and our values have been incorporated into the line lists along with calibrated wavenumbers ($\tildeν$ in cm$^{-1}$) and calibrated line intensities ($S'$ in cm/molecule) for each line. We expect our hot NH$_{3}$ line lists to find direct application in the modelling of planetary atmospheres and brown dwarfs.

description: Skeletal muscles produce secretory factors termed as myokines, which alter physiological functions of target tissues. We recently identified C-X-C chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10) as a novel myokine, which is downregulated in response to exercise. In the present study, we investigated whether the nutritional changes affect CXCL10 expression in mouse skeletal muscle. Expression of CXCL10 was evaluated in mice fed a normal diet or a high fat diet for 10 weeks. In animals fed on HFD, Cxcl10 expression was significantly induced in fast-twitched muscles, and was accompanied by increased blood glucose and free fatty acid levels. In vitro experiments using C2C12 myotubes suggested that the increased levels of glucose and palmitic acids directly enhanced CXCL10 expression. Interestingly, the effect of palmitic acids was attenuated by palmitoleic acids. Considering its potent angiostatic activity, induction of CXCL10 by nutritional changes may contribute to the impairment of microvascular networks in skeletal muscles. Increased levels of glucose and palmitic acids directly enhanced CXCL10 secretion in skeletal muscles, which may regulate blood vessel formation.

description: Reversible logic is emerging as an important research area having its application in diverse fields such as low power CMOS design, digital signal processing, cryptography, quantum computing and optical information processing. This paper presents a new 4*4 universal reversible logic gate, IG. It is a parity preserving reversible logic gate, that is, the parity of the inputs matches the parity of the outputs. The proposed parity preserving reversible gate can be used to synthesize any arbitrary Boolean function. It allows any fault that affects no more than a single signal readily detectable at the circuit's primary outputs. Finally, it is shown how a fault tolerant reversible full adder circuit can be realized using only two IGs. It has also been demonstrated that the proposed design offers less hardware complexity and is efficient in terms of gate count, garbage outputs and constant inputs than the existing counterparts.

Radial velocities were determined for the HeII4686 and Hbeta emission lines. The curves are similar for both lines, with a semi-amplitude of about 250 km/s. The modulation of 1.5 mag of the continuum flux is compatible with those previously presented in the literature. All these characteristics are typical of polars.

description: We study the bulk viscosity of dense matter, taking into account non-linear effects which arise in the large amplitude "supra-thermal" region where the deviation $μ_Δ$ of the chemical potentials from chemical equilibrium fulfills $μ_Δ>T$. This regime is relevant to unstable modes such as r-modes, which grow in amplitude until saturated by non-linear effects. We study the damping due to direct and modified Urca processes in hadronic matter, and due to nonleptonic weak interactions in strange quark matter. We give general results valid for an arbitrary equation of state of dense matter and find that the viscosity can be strongly enhanced by supra-thermal effects. Our study confirms previous results on quark matter and shows that the non-linear enhancement is even stronger in the case of hadronic matter. Our results can be applied to calculations of the r-mode-induced spin-down of fast-rotating neutron stars, where the spin-down time will depend on the saturation amplitude of the r-mode

description: An enzyme belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 68 (GH68) from Beijerinckia indica subsp. indica NBRC 3744 was expressed in Escherichia coli. Biochemical characterization showed that the enzyme was identified to be a β-fructosyltransferase (BiBftA). Crystallization of a full-length BiBftA was initially attempted, but no crystals were obtained. We constructed a variant in which 5 residues (Pro199-Gly203) and 13 residues (Leu522-Gln534) in potentially flexible regions were deleted, and we successfully crystallized this variant BiBftA. BiBftA is composed of a five-bladed β-propeller fold as in other GH68 enzymes. The structure of BiBftA in complex with fructose unexpectedly indicated that one β-fructofuranose (β-Fruf) molecule and one β-fructopyranose molecule bind to the catalytic pocket. The orientation of β-Fruf at subsite −1 is tilted from the orientation observed in most GH68 enzymes, presenting a second structure of a GH68 enzyme in complex with the tilted binding mode of β-Fruf. Structure of the GH68 enzyme unexpectedly indicated that one β-fructofuranose and one β-fructopyranose bind to the catalytic pocket.

description: We report on the fabrication of Nb/AlO_x/Pd_{0.82}Ni_{0.18}/Nb superconductor/insulator/ferromagnetic metal/superconductor (SIFS) Josephson junctions with high critical current densities, large normal resistance times area products, high quality factors, and very good spatial uniformity. For these junctions a transition from 0- to π-coupling is observed for a thickness d_F ~ 6 nm of the ferromagnetic Pd_{0.82}Ni_{0.18} interlayer. The magnetic field dependence of the π-coupled junctions demonstrates good spatial homogeneity of the tunneling barrier and ferromagnetic interlayer. Magnetic characterization shows that the Pd_{0.82}Ni_{0.18} has an out-of-plane anisotropy and large saturation magnetization, indicating negligible dead layers at the interfaces. A careful analysis of Fiske modes provides information on the junction quality factor and the relevant damping mechanisms up to about 400 GHz. Whereas losses due to quasiparticle tunneling dominate at low frequencies, the damping is dominated by the finite surface resistance of the junction electrodes at high frequencies. High quality factors of up to 30 around 200 GHz have been achieved. Our analysis shows that the fabricated junctions are promising for applications in superconducting quantum circuits or quantum tunneling experiments.

description: The anticancer effects of curcumin are based on the induction of apoptosis, but the specific mechanisms have not yet been fully elucidated. To address this issue, we investigated the effects of curcumin on the intrinsic apoptosis pathway using mitochondria from A549 cells. Curcumin decreased the levels of 14-3-3 proteins, key molecules that inhibit the activation of proapoptotic factors known as BH3-only proteins (e.g. Bad). Curcumin-induced suppression of 14-3-3 protein levels was associated with reduced cytosolic Bad and elevation of mitochondrial Bad, leading to a drop in the mitochondrial membrane potential. 14-3-3 proteins generally interact with Bad phosphorylated by AKT, thus preventing its translocation to the mitochondria where it can promote cell death. Curcumin not only decreased the expression of 14-3-3 proteins but also promoted Bad dephosphorylation in an AKT-dependent fashion. Our results provide novel evidence for the induction of apoptosis by curcumin at multiple stages of the mitochondrial cascade. Curcumin induces apoptosis in lung cancer cells at multiple stages of the mitochondrial cascade.

description: We examined six exoplanet host stars with non-standard Hipparcos astrometric solution, which may be indicative of unrecognised orbital motion. Using Hipparcos intermediate astrometric data, we detected the astrometric orbit of HD 5388 at a significance level of 99.4 % (2.7 sigma). HD 5388 is a metal-deficient star and hosts a planet candidate with a minimum mass of 1.96 M_J discovered in 2010. We determined its orbit inclination to be i = 178.3 +0.4/-0.7 deg and the corresponding mass of its companion HD 5388 b to be M_2 = 69 +/- 20 M_J. The orbit is seen almost face-on and the companion mass lies at the upper end of the brown-dwarf mass range. A mass lower than 13 M_J was excluded at the 3-sigma level. The astrometric motions of the five other stars had been investigated by other authors revealing two planetary companions, one stellar companion, and two statistically insignificant orbits. We conclude that HD 5388 b is not a planet but most likely a brown-dwarf companion. In addition, we find that the inclinations of the stellar rotation axis and the companion's orbital axis differ significantly.

description: Di-N-acetylchitobiase (Ctbs) degrades β-1,4 glycoside bonds of the chitobiose core of free asparagine-linked glycan. This study examined whether Ctbs degrades chitin-oligosaccharides to GlcNAc in mammals. We analyzed Ctbs mRNA and protein expression in mouse tissues and characterized enzymatic activity using recombinant mouse Ctbs expressed in Escherichia coli. Ctbs mRNA and protein were expressed in various tissues of mouse, including the stomach. Optimal conditions for recombinant Ctbs were pH 3.0 and 45°C, and the recombinant enzyme was retained more than 94% activity after incubation at pH 3.0–7.0 and below 37°C. The recombinant Ctbs hydrolyzed (GlcNAc)3 and (GlcNAc)6 at pH 3.0 and produced GlcNAc. The K m of Ctbs was lowest with (GlcNAc)3 as a substrate. k cat/K m was fourfold as high with (GlcNAc)3 and (GlcNAc)4 as substrates than with (GlcNAc)2. These results suggest that Ctbs digests chitin-oligosaccharides or (GlcNAc)2 of reducing-end residues of oligosaccharides and produces GlcNAc in mouse tissues. Di-N-acetylchitobiase (Ctbs) is most active at pH 3.0 and retained more than 94% activity after incubation at pH 3.0–7.0 and below 37°C. The preferred substrate of recombinant Ctbs is (GlcNAc)3.

description: Mode entanglement exists naturally between regions of space in ultra-cold atomic gases. It has, however, been debated whether this type of entanglement is useful for quantum protocols. This is due to a particle number superselection rule that restricts the operations that can be performed on the modes. In this paper, we show how to exploit the mode entanglement of just a single particle for the teleportation of an unknown quantum state of a spatial mode. We detail how to overcome the superselection rule to create any initial quantum state and how to perform Bell state analysis on two of the modes. We show that two of the four Bell states can always be reliably distinguished, while the other two have to be grouped together due to an unsatisfied phase matching condition. The teleportation of an unknown state of a quantum mode thus only succeeds half of the time.

description: This work aimed to assess the role of TLR8 in cerebral I/R injury and its in-depth pathogenesis. Bioinformatics analysis indicated that TLR8 was up-regulated in patients with ischemic stroke than that in healthy control, and miR-18a-5p was the upstream regulatory of TLR8. Then, the rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells were exposed in oxygen-glucose-deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) conditions to construct a model in vitro. The functional experiments indicated that OGD/R can decline the viability and elevate the apoptosis of PC12 cells, while up-regulation of miR-18a-5p can alleviate OGD/R-induced cell injury. Notably, overexpression of TLR8 reverses the miR-18a-5p-mediated protection on OGD/R-induced cells injury. Finally, we found that up-regulation of miR-18a-5p obviously declined the protein levels of TLR4 and TLR7 as well as the phosphorylation of NF-κB, while overexpression of TLR8 canceled the decrease caused by miR-18a-5p up-regulation. In summing, our results illustrated that miR-18a-5p/TLR8 axis can mitigate OGD/R-induced cells injury through TLRs and NF-κB pathway. Overexpression of TLR8 reverses the miR-18a-5p-mediated protection on OGD/R-induced cells injury.

description: In white-light coronagraph images, cool prominence material is sometimes observed as bright patches in the core of coronal mass ejections (CMEs). If, as generally assumed, this emission is caused by Thomson-scattered light from the solar surface, it should be strongly polarised tangentially to the solar limb. However, the observations of a CME made with the SECCHI/STEREO coronagraphs on 31 August 2007 show that the emission from these bright core patches is exceptionally low polarised. We used the polarisation ratio method of Moran and Davila (2004) to localise the barycentre of the CME cloud. By analysing the data from both STEREO spacecraft we could resolve the plane-of-the-sky ambiguity this method usually suffers from. Stereoscopic triangulation was used to independently localise the low-polarisation patch relative to the cloud. We demonstrated for the first time that the bright core material is located close to the centre of the CME cloud. We show that the major part of the CME core emission, more than 85% in our case, is H$α$ radiation and only a small fraction is Thomson-scattered light. Recent calculations also imply that the plasma density in the patch is 8 10$^8$ cm$^{-3}$ or more compared to 2.6 10$^6$ cm$^{-3}$ for the Thomson-scattering CME environment surrounding the core material.

description: A simple minimally perturbative method is introduced which provides the ability to experimentally measure both the radial confining potential and the interaction potential between two individual dust particles, levitated in the sheath of a radio-frequency (RF) argon discharge. In this technique, a single dust particle is dropped into the plasma sheath to interact with a second individual dust particle already situated at the system's equilibrium point, without introducing any external perturbation. The resulting data is analyzed using a method employing a polynomial fit to the particle displacement(s), X(t), to reduce uncertainty in calculation. Employing this technique, the horizontal confinement is shown to be parabolic over a wide range of pressures and displacements from the equilibrium point. The interaction potential is also measured and shown to be well-described by a screened Coulomb potential and to decrease with increasing pressure. Finally, the charge on the particle and the effective dust screening distance are calculated. It is shown for the first time experimentally that the charge on a particle in the sheath of an RF plasma decreases with increasing pressure, in agreement with theoretical predictions. The screening distance also decreases with increasing pressure as expected. This technique can be used for rapid determination of particle parameters in dusty plasma.

Participation in an inclusive classroom : classroom members' perspectives of the school participation of a student with significant disabilities
Creators: name: Skinner, Sarah Y.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: In British Columbia, students with significant disabilities are included in general education classes with their peers. True inclusion goes beyond having a physical presence in the classroom and involves meaningful participation in both the social and academic life of the classroom (Katz, 2012). Meaningful participation consists of three inter-related components: active engagement in a task, the perception of participating, and the context in which it occurs (Eriksson & Granlund, 2004). Participation supports the healthy development and well-being of a child (Law, 2002), yet many students with significant disabilities are not receiving the necessary supports to fully participate at school (Kurth, Morningstar, & Kozleski, 2014; Sokal & Katz, 2015). The current study used a qualitative case study design to explore how a student with significant disabilities participates in an inclusive classroom. More specifically, the study focused on factors that influenced participation, using the Canadian Model of Occupational Performance and Engagement (CMOP-E) as a theoretical framework. CMOP-E suggests that interactions between factors relating to the person, the environment, and the activity influence a person’s participation in daily activities (Polatajko, Townsend, & Craik, 2007). Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with the classroom teacher, education assistant (EA), five students in the class, and from direct observations of the student participating in daily classroom activities and analyzed using thematic analysis. Results of this study suggest key factors that influence participation in an inclusive classroom of a student with significant disabilities include: (a) student’s ability to communicate; (b) classroom culture that respects diversity, fosters a sense of belonging and safety, and values personal and social responsibility; (c) access to adapted materials and Assistive Technology (AT); (d) elements of Universal Design for Learning (UDL); (e) interactive learning; (f) weaving individualized learning outcomes into classroom activities and routines. Additional findings suggest that interactions of personal factors of all the members of the class influence participation; thus, personal factors of the classroom teacher, EA, and peers must also be considered. Furthermore, these social interactions contribute to the social environment in the classroom, indicating personal factors must always be considered in the context of the social environment.

description: About 1-5% of the general population is significantly affected by tinnitus (Davis & El Refaie, 2000; Hasson et al., 2010). In addition to hearing impairment, cognitive or psychosocial stress also occurs. The meta-analysis by Hesser et al. (2012) suggests that ACT can significantly reduce the burden of tinnitus. The planned randomized-controlled feasibility study aims to investigate whether a one-session intervention of Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) is principally feasible and effective in increasing tinnitus acceptance compared to plain psychoeducation (control group, CG). At least 20 adults with a minimum level of tinnitus distress will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. Following a questionnaire via SoSci Survey, online appointments will be arranged for each participant. Within the session, participants of both groups receive psychoeducation about tinnitus development and maintenance (15 min). Following that, the intervention group receives the ACT intervention (30 min). Participants of the (CG) group receive further psychoeducation about treatment options specified in tinnitus treatment guidelines (30 min). After one week, both groups are surveyed. After data collection is completed, the participants receive a handout with the most important information presented during the intervention.

description: Previously, we found that yeast exhibits a strong growth defect with the combination of a lack of gene involved in structural modification of sphingolipids and repression of the phosphatidylserine synthase gene. Here we found that the double gene mutation causes reactive oxygen species-mediated cell growth defect, which is suppressed by deletion of LEM3 encoding the subunit of phospholipid flippase.

description: In this paper we demonstrate a technique that can create out-of-equilibrium vortex configurations with almost arbitrary charge and geometry in a Bose-Einstein condensate. We coherently transfer orbital angular momentum from a holographically generated light beam to a Rubidium 87 condensate using a two-photon stimulated Raman process. Using matter wave interferometry, we verify the phase pattern imprinted onto the atomic wave function for a single vortex and a vortex-antivortex pair. In addition to their phase winding, the vortices created with this technique have an associated hyperfine spin texture.

description: To evaluate crops generated by new breeding techniques, it is important to confirm the removal of recombinant DNAs (rDNAs) derived from foreign genes including unintentionally introduced short rDNA(s). We attempted to develop a sensitive detection method for such short rDNAs using Southern blot analysis and performed a model study targeting single-copy endogenous genes in plants. To increase the detection sensitivity, the general protocol for Southern blot analysis was modified. In the model study, we used endogenous-gene-targeting probes in which complementary sequences were serially replaced by dummy sequences, and detected complementary sequences as well as 30 bp. We further evaluated the sensitivity using short rDNAs derived from GM sequences as pseudoinsertions, and the results demonstrated that rDNA-insertions as small as 30 bp could be detected. The results suggested that unintentionally introduced rDNA-insertions were 30 bp or more in length could be detected by the Southern blot analysis. Short sequences, equal to or longer than 30 bp, could be detected by a modified Southern blot analysis. The method would be used for an evaluation of crops generated by new breeding techniques.
Learning human facial performance

description: Human faces convey a large range of semantic meaning through facial expressions, which reflect both actions and affective states. More importantly, in the coming age of artificial intelligence and virtual persona, facial expressions can serve as a two-way communicative interface between human and machine. In this dissertation, we study two aspects of face and facial expression modeling: the analysis and reconstruction of human facial expressions via interpretable 3D blendshape representation from different input modalities, and the reversed problem in which we train a model to hallucinate coherent facial expressions directly given any arbitrary portrait and facial action parameters.First, we present a real-time robust 3D face tracking framework from RGBD videos, driven by an efficient and flexible 3D shape regressor, capable of tracking head pose, facial actions and on-the-fly identity adaptation in extreme instances. Second, we introduce a series of recurrent neural networks to predict facial action intensities from speech for real-time animation. Finally, we present a novel deep generative neural network that can directly manipulate image pixels of a portrait to make the unseen subject express various emotions controlled by continuous facial action unit coefficients, while maintaining her personal characteristics. Our model enables flexible, effortless facial expression editing.

Observations of the recurrent M31 transient XMMU~J004215.8+411924 with Swift, Chandra, HST and Einstein

description: The transient X-ray source XMMU J004215.8+411924 within M31 was found to be in outburst again in the 2010 May 27 Chandra observation. We present results from our four Chandra and seven Swift observations that covered this outburst. X-ray transient behaviour is generally caused by one of two things: mass accretion from a high mass companion during some restricted phase range in the orbital cycle, or disc instability in a low mass system. We aim to exploit Einstein, HST, Chandra and Swift observations to determine the nature of XMMU J004215.8+411924. We model the 2010 May spectrum, and use the results to convert from intensity to counts in the fainter Chandra observations, as well as the Swift observations; these data are used to create a lightcurve. We also estimate the flux in the 1979 January 13 Einstein observation. Additionally, we search for an optical counterpart in HST data. Our best X-ray positions from the 2006 and 2010 outbursts are 0.3" apart, and 1.6" from the Einstein source; these outbursts are likely to come from the same star system. We see no evidence for an optical counterpart with m_B < ~25.5; this new limit is 3.5 magnitudes fainter than the existing one. Furthermore, we see no V band counterpart with m_V < ~26. The local absorption is ~7 times higher than the Galactic line-of-sight, and provides ~2 magnitudes of extinction in the V band. Hence M_V > ~ -0.5. Fits to the X-ray emission spectrum suggest a black hole primary. We find that XMMU J004215.8+411924 is most likely to be a transient LMXB, rather than a HMXB as originaly proposed. The nature of the primary is unclear, although we argue that a black hole is likely.

description: Hydroxyl radical (•OH) is considered to be the most damaging among reactive oxygen species. Although a few studies have reported on its effects on growth and stress adaptation of plants, no detailed studies have been performed using •OH in germination and early seedling growth under abiotic stresses. Here we report a single seed treatment with •OH on germination and seedling growth of Arabidopsis and rice under non-stressed (ambient) and various abiotic-stressed conditions (chilling, high temperature, heat, and salinity). The treatment resulted in faster seed germination and early seedling growth under non-stressed conditions, and, interestingly, these effects were more prominent under abiotic stresses. In addition, Arabidopsis seedlings from treated seeds showed faster root growth and developed more lateral roots. These results show a positive and potential practical use for •OH in model and crop plants for direct seeding in the field, as well as improvement of tolerance against emerging stresses. Abbreviations: AUC: area under curve; MGT: mean germination time; t50: time to reach 50% germination; U7525: time for uniform germination from 25% to 75%; ROS: reactive oxygen species; GSI: germination speed index; SI: stress index; DI: dormancy index A single treatment of Arabidopsis and rice seeds with hydroxy radical (•OH) improves germination and seedling growth under both ambient and stress conditions.
