description: A wealth of astronomical data indicate the presence of mass discrepancies in the Universe. The motions observed in a variety of classes of extragalactic systems exceed what can be explained by the mass visible in stars and gas. Either (i) there is a vast amount of unseen mass in some novel form - dark matter - or (ii) the data indicate a breakdown of our understanding of dynamics on the relevant scales, or (iii) both. Here, we first review a few outstanding challenges for the dark matter interpretation of mass discrepancies in galaxies, purely based on observations and independently of any alternative theoretical framework. We then show that many of these puzzling observations are predicted by one single relation - Milgrom's law - involving an acceleration constant (or a characteristic surface density) of the order of the square-root of the cosmological constant in natural units. This relation can at present most easily be interpreted as the effect of a single universal force law resulting from a modification of Newtonian dynamics (MOND) on galactic scales. We exhaustively review the current observational successes and problems of this alternative paradigm at all astrophysical scales, and summarize the various theoretical attempts (TeVeS, GEA, BIMOND, and others) made to effectively embed this modification of Newtonian dynamics within a relativistic theory of gravity.

Yang-Mills heat flow on gauged holomorphic maps

description: We study the gradient flow lines of a Yang-Mills-type functional on the space of gauged holomorphic maps $\mathcal{H}(P,X)$, where $P$ is a principal bundle on a Riemann surface $Σ$ and $X$ is a Kähler Hamiltonian $G$-manifold. For compact $Σ$, possibly with boundary, we prove long time existence of the gradient flow. The flow lines converge to critical points of the functional. So, there is a stratification on $\mathcal{H}(P,X)$ that is invariant under the action of the complexified gauge group. Symplectic vortices are the zeros of the functional we study. When $Σ$ has boundary, similar to Donaldson's result for the Hermitian Yang-Mills equations, we show that there is only a single stratum - any element of $\mathcal{H}(P,X)$ can be complex gauge transformed to a symplectic vortex. This is a version of Mundet's Hitchin-Kobayashi result on a surface with boundary.

description: In the original holographic dark energy (HDE) model, the dark energy density is proposed to be $ρ_{de} = 3c^2M^2_{pl}L^{-2}$, with $c$ is a dimensionless constant characterizing the properties of the HDE. In this work, we propose the generalized holographic dark energy (GHDE) model by considering the parameter $c$ as a redshift-dependent function $c(z)$. We derive all the physical quantities of the GHDE model analytically, and fit the $c(z)$ by trying four kinds of parametrizations. The cosmological constraints of the $c(z)$ are obtained from the joint analysis of the present SNLS3+BAO+CMB+$H_0$ data. We find that, compared with the original HDE model, the GHDE models can provide a better fit to the data. For example, the GHDE model with JBP-type $c(z)$ can reduce the $χ^2_{min}$ of the HDE model by 2.16. We also find that, unlike the original HDE model with a phantom-like behavior in the future, the GHDE models can present many more different possibilities, i.e., it allows the GHDE in the future to be either quintessence like, cosmological constant like, or phantom like, depending on the forms of $c(z)$.

Probing the space-time geometry around black hole candidates with the resonance models for high-frequency QPOs and comparison with the continuum-fitting method

description: Astrophysical black hole candidates are thought to be the Kerr black hole predicted by General Relativity. In order to confirm the Kerr-nature of these objects, we need to probe the geometry of the space-time around them and see if the observations are consistent with the predictions of the Kerr metric. That can be achieved, for instance, by studying the properties of the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the gas in the accretion disk. The high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations observed in the X-ray flux of some stellar-mass black hole candidates might do the job. As the frequencies of these oscillations depend only very weakly on the observed X-ray flux, it is thought they are mainly determined by the metric of the space-time. In this paper, I consider the resonance models proposed by Abramowicz and Kluzniak and I extend previous results to the case of non-Kerr space-times. The emerging picture is more complicated than the one around a Kerr black hole and there is a larger number of possible combinations between different modes. I then compare the bounds inferred from the twin peak high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations observed in three micro-quasars (GRO J1655-40, XTE J1550-564, and GRS 1915+105) with the measurements from the continuum-fitting method of the same objects. For Kerr black holes, the two approaches do not provide consistent results. In a non-Kerr geometry, this conflict may be solved if the observed quasi-periodic oscillations are produced by the resonance $ν_θ: ν_r = 3:1$, where $ν_θ$ and $ν_r$ are the two epicyclic frequencies. It is at least worth mentioning that the deformation from the Kerr solution required by observations would be consistent with the one suggested in another recent work discussing the possibility that steady jets are powered by the spin of these compact objects.

description: We investigate plasmon resonances in gold nanoparticles to enhance the quantum yield of upconverting materials. For this purpose, we use a rate equation model that describes the upconversion of trivalent erbium based upconverters. Changes of the optical field acting on the upconverter and the changes to the transition probabilities of the upconverter in the proximity of a gold nanoparticle are calculated using Mie theory and exact electrodynamic theory respectively. With this data, the influence on the luminescence of the upconverter is determined using the rate equation model. The results show that upconversion luminescence can be increased in the proximity of a spherical gold nanoparticle due to the change in the optical field and the modification of the transition rates.

The effect of high glucose on APP metabolism and Abeta production
Creators: name: Yang, Yi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a progressive decline in memory and cognitive functions. It is the leading cause of dementia. Abnormal accumulation and deposition of amyloid-β protein (Aβ) to form plaques is a pathological hallmark of AD. Aβ, the major component of plaques, derives from sequential cleavage of amyloid-β precursor protein (APP) by β-secretase and γ-secretase. Dysregulation of APP processing and Aβ generation is believed to play an essential role in the pathogenesis of AD. Diabetes is a complex metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia. Epidemiological studies revealed an elevated risk of developing AD in people with diabetes. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. To identify the role of diabetes in AD pathogenesis, the effect of high glucose on APP metabolism and Aβ generation was investigated using cultured human neuroblastoma cells. In this study, we clearly showed that high glucose treatment significantly increased APP protein level and Aβ generation. Moreover, the increase of APP level was not resulted from the enhancement APP gene transcription but due to the inhibition of APP protein degradation. This work indicated that hyperglycemia could promote AD development by increasing APP expression and facilitating APP processing and Aβ production, suggesting glycemic control might be beneficial for AD treatment.

description: Recent progress in the quantization of nonrenormalizable scalar fields has found that a suitable non-classical modification of the ground state wave function leads to a result that eliminates term-by-term divergences that arise in a conventional perturbation analysis. After a brief review of both the scalar field story and the affine quantum gravity program, examination of the procedures used in the latter surprisingly shows an analogous formulation which already implies that affine quantum gravity is not plagued by divergences that arise in a standard perturbation study. Additionally, guided by the projection operator method to deal with quantum constraints, trial reproducing kernels are introduced that satisfy the diffeomorphism constraints. Furthermore, it is argued that the trial reproducing kernels for the diffeomorphism constraints may also satisfy the Hamiltonian constraint as well.

description: We show that rate-adaptive multivariate density estimation can be performed using Bayesian methods based on Dirichlet mixtures of normal kernels with a prior distribution on the kernel's covariance matrix parameter. We derive sufficient conditions on the prior specification that guarantee convergence to a true density at a rate that is optimal minimax for the smoothness class to which the true density belongs. No prior knowledge of smoothness is assumed. The sufficient conditions are shown to hold for the Dirichlet location mixture of normals prior with a Gaussian base measure and an inverse-Wishart prior on the covariance matrix parameter. Locally Hölder smoothness classes and their anisotropic extensions are considered. Our study involves several technical novelties, including sharp approximation of finitely differentiable multivariate densities by normal mixtures and a new sieve on the space of such densities.

description: In his affirmative answer to the Edelman-Reiner conjecture, Yoshinaga proved that the logarithmic derivation modules of the cones of the extended Shi arrangements are free modules. However, all we know about the bases is their existence and degrees. In this article, we introduce two distinguished bases for the modules. More specifically, we will define and study the simple-root basis plus (SRB+) and the simple-root basis minus (SRB-) when a primitive derivation is fixed. They have remarkable properties relevant to the simple roots and those properties characterize the bases.

description: Recently a new form of quantum memory has been proposed. The storage medium is an ensemble of electron spins, coupled to a stripline cavity and an ancillary readout system. Theoretical studies suggest that the system should be capable of storing numerous qubits within the ensemble, and an experimental proof-of-concept has already been performed. Here we show that this minimal architecture is not limited to storage but is in fact capable of full quantum processing by employing measurement-based entanglement. The technique appears to be remarkably robust against the anticipated dominant error types. The key enabling component, namely a readout technology that non-destructively determines "are there n photons in the cavity?", has already been realised experimentally.

description: We review the present status of our research and understanding regarding the dynamics and the statistical properties of earthquakes, mainly from a statistical physical viewpoint. Emphasis is put both on the physics of friction and fracture, which provides a "microscopic" basis of our understanding of an earthquake instability, and on the statistical physical modelling of earthquakes, which provides "macroscopic" aspects of such phenomena. Recent numerical results on several representative models are reviewed, with attention to both their "critical" and "characteristic" properties. We highlight some of relevant notions and related issues, including the origin of power-laws often observed in statistical properties of earthquakes, apparently contrasting features of characteristic earthquakes or asperities, the nature of precursory phenomena and nucleation processes, the origin of slow earthquakes, etc.

description: We consider a two-dimensional system with two order parameters, one with O(2) symmetry and one with O($M$), near a point in parameter space where they couple to become a single O($2+M$) order. While the O(2) sector supports vortex excitations, these vortices must somehow disappear as the high symmetry point is approached. We develop a variational argument which shows that the size of the vortex cores diverges as $1/\sqrtΔ$ and the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition temperature of the O(2) order vanishes as $1/\ln(1/Δ)$, where $Δ$ denotes the distance from the high-symmetry point. Our physical picture is confirmed by a renormalization group analysis which gives further logarithmic corrections, and demonstrates full symmetry restoration within the cores.

George Platt Lynes: Visualizing Queerness Through the Fluid Male Nude

subject: homoerotic photography
subject: queer visual culture

description: This thesis proposes a reading of George Platt Lynes’ homoerotic photographs as queer countertexts – media that subvert and transgress heteronormative codes. Lynes created male nude images from the 1930s to the 1950s. His work, however, was concealed because of American laws that prevented queer identities to exist and thrive in public. A key effect of homoerotic photography is its unapologetic presentation of queerness, and Lynes adapted this form to elevate queer identity through artistic illustrations of the male body as symbols of queer desire. The central argument of this study is that Lynes’ homoerotic photographs queered hetero masculinity by making fluid presentations of the male body. By departing from traditional and “ideal” depictions of maleness that privilege hard and rigid patterns, Lynes offered a way to view the male gender through the subversion of hetero visual expectations. At the theoretical level, this study builds upon Sara Ahmed’s concept of queerness as deviation. Lynes queered hetero masculinity by showing spectators that there are more ways to portray maleness beyond the muscular physiques that were celebrated in the early 20th century. To this end, the thesis engages with a body of theoretical work that considers photography as a means to reveal queer identity, an identity that has been historically marginalised, and approaches Lynes’ nudes through the intersection of homoeroticism and queerness. At the methodological level, this thesis articulates how rejected queerness re-emerges as an acknowledged and beautiful idea through Lynes’ capturing of the male nude. Through a visual discourse analysis, this thesis examines the political, visual, and narrative dimensions of Lynes work as responses to 20th-century American homophobia.

description: Let (G,K) be a symmetric pair over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different of 2 and let sigma be an automorphism with square 1 of G preserving K. In this paper we consider the set of pairs (O,L) where O is a sigma-stable K-orbit on the flag manifold of G and L is an irreducible K-equivariant local system on O which is "fixed" by sigma. Given two such pairs (O,L), (O',L'), with O' in the closure \bar O of O, the multiplicity space of L' in the a cohomology sheaf of the intersection cohomology of \bar O with coefficients in L (restricted to O') carries an involution induced by sigma and we are interested in computing the dimensions of its +1 and -1 eigenspaces. We show that this computation can be done in terms of a certain module structure over a quasisplit Hecke algebra on a space spanned by the pairs (O,L) as above.

In this paper I argue that Hölderlin, having made use of this notion for a long time in his works and philosophical writings, now rejects the intellectual intuition and find a substitute for it in the transcendental sensation
under the influence of a renewed reading of Kant's writings, especially Kant's Critique of pure reason and Critique of judgement.

The impact of morphine on nerve injury recovery and lipid metabolism pathways
Creators: name: Stokes-Heck, Sierra
Publisher: name: Graduate Studies
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Neuroscience

description: Neuropathic pain resulting from peripheral nerve injury is among the most debilitating types of chronic pain conditions. Opioid medications are often used despite their poor efficacy in treating neuropathic pain symptoms and concerns about adverse effects. Notably, emerging evidence suggests that rather than alleviating neuropathic pain, opioids may worsen mechanical allodynia, wherein innocuous stimuli elicit pain. Morphine has been shown to exacerbate nerve injury-induced mechanical allodynia, but the cause is not understood. Both morphine and nerve injury have been implicated in myelin and oligodendrocyte perturbations. As myelin is primarily composed of lipids, here I determined whether spinal lipid metabolism alterations are a potential mechanism underlying morphine exacerbated neuropathic pain. In this study, I characterized neuropathic pain development and recovery using the chronic constriction injury model (CCI), which results in robust mechanical allodynia. I demonstrated that delayed morphine treatment of CCI animals resulted in prolonged mechanical allodynia and recovery from nerve injury, as compared to nerve injured mice given saline. Using profiling arrays for cholesterol metabolism and lipoprotein signaling, I found that morphine further increases the CCI-induced lipid metabolism changes within the spinal cord. More specifically, I found that cholesterol metabolic and lipoprotein clearance pathways are upregulated in nerve injured animals given saline when earlier and later timepoints are compared, suggesting their role in recovery. Conversely, these same pathways are downregulated in morphine treated CCI animals. To confirm these results, I validated the six most dysregulated gene candidates and found that Cyp11a1 was significantly upregulated in CCI animals treated with morphine. These results suggest that morphine could be delaying recovery from CCI by dysregulating lipid metabolism at the spinal cord level. As glial cells are involved in lipid synthesis and maintenance of myelin, alterations in lipid metabolism could be linked to changes in oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, microglia, and myelination. These findings could help mitigate adverse opioid effects and improve treatment for people suffering from neuropathic pain.

description: We propose a realistic circuit QED experiment to test the extraction of past-future vacuum entanglement to a pair of superconducting qubits. The qubit P interacts with the quantum field along an open transmission line for an interval T_on and then, after a time-lapse T_off, the qubit F starts interacting for a time T_on in a symmetric fashion. After that, past-future quantum correlations will have transferred to the qubits, even if the qubits do not coexist at the same time. We show that this experiment can be realized with current technology and discuss its utility as a possible implementation of a quantum memory.

The unbearable wholeness of being : memory, nostalgia, and German expellees in the post-war archive
Creators: name: Ickert, Stefanie Carissa

description: In 1949, Paul Jendrike, former Chairman of the National Association of German Teachers in Poland (1922-1939) sent a questionnaire to each of the Association’s former members. Cognizant that living memory would soon disappear, Jendrike sought to document the experiences of German teachers in interwar Poland. Most of these teachers who received questionnaires were now living in West Germany, kicked out of their former homelands in Poland after the Second World War, joining approximately eleven million other expellees from the former German east. As citizens of Poland but members of an ethnic German minority, the Germanness of these so-called Volksdeutsche had often been a source of debate. Now, in Germany, and relabelled Vertriebene, or expellees, they were made into a bounded group, still distinct from the rest of the German-speaking population. The questionnaire was set up in such a way as to show a clear distinction between “Germans” and “Poles,” in addition to showing that Poland had blatantly defied the terms of the Minority Protection Treaty, signed in 1919. Respondents, however, defied Jendrike’s intentions by using the undisciplined spaces of the questionnaire to exercise their nostalgic longing. The nostalgia in these undisciplined spaces shows not only that many of the respondents were persistently non-national, but that they had no political or revanchist aims, in contrast to what most works on the expellees have shown. This essay demonstrates that taking nostalgia seriously exposes a surprising story about expellees, one that reveals that there was no real sense of groupness, either before the war or after. Attending to nostalgia in this way illustrates the need to reconsider Vertriebene and Volksdeutsche historiographies and break down these temporally delimited definitions of groupness.

description: Production in association with an electroweak vector boson V is a distinctive mode of production for a Higgs boson H without tree-level couplings to fermions, known as a fermiophobic Higgs boson. We focus on HV associated production with H decay into a pair of photons, and V into a pair of jets, with the goal of distinguishing a fermiophobic Higgs boson from the standard model Higgs boson. Performing a simulation of the signal and pertinent QCD backgrounds, and using the same event selection cuts employed by the LHC ATLAS Collaboration, we argue that existing LHC data at 7 TeV with 4.9 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity may distinguish a fermiophobic Higgs boson from a standard model Higgs boson near 125 GeV at about 1.9 standard deviation signal significance (1.9 sigma) per experiment. At 8 TeV we show that associated production could yield 2.8 sigma significance per experiment with 10 fb^{-1} of data.

Resonant modulational instability and self-induced transmission effects in semiconductors: Maxwell-Bloch formalism

description: The nonlinear optical properties of semiconductors near an excitonic resonance are theoretically investigated by using the macroscopic J-model [Th. Oestreich and A. Knorr, Phys. Rev. B 48, 17811 (1993); ibid. 50, 5717 (1994)] based on the microscopic semiconductor Bloch equations. These nonlinear properties cause modulational instability of long light pulses with large gain, and give rise to a self-induced transmission of short light pulses in a semiconductor. By an example of the latter well studied effect the validity of the used macroscopic model is demonstrated and a good agreement is found with both existing theoretical and experimental results.

The ends of violence. Girard and Derrida
Creators: name: McKenna, Andrew J.
Publisher: name: Lebenswelt. Aesthetics and philosophy of experience.
Year: 2011

description: Jacques Derrida’s critique of philosophical origins, in his essay on Plato and elsewhere, unveils a sacrificial dynamic that René Girard hypothesizes as the origin of human culture. Girard’s latest book, Achever Clausewitz (2008), applies his mimetic theory to history: the Prussian general’s analysis of increasingly violent «reciprocal action» in modern, post-revolutionary warfare exposes the mimetic principle of lethally violent doubles. This «trend to extremes» works to the dissolution of institutions – national sovereignty, international law, politics, war itself – that Derrida explores in Voyous, his book-length essay on terrorism (2003). Both authors see the world of globalized commerce and the globalized terrorism that goes with it as enmeshed in violent undifferentiation. Girard’s historically grounded work supplies a narrative line to Derrida’s structural analyses. Derrida’s call for an ever more vigorous deconstructive rationality as a solution is symptomatic of philosophy’s blindness to the interactive crescendos of human violence that is unveiled in Girard’s religious anthropology.

Systematic Review using a Spiral approach with Machine Learning

description: Systematic reviews have become increasingly time-consuming and costly due to the accelerating growth of academic literature, doubling every nine years. Machine learning (ML) offers a promising solution to manage the growing corpus of literature, but current approaches still rely on a sequential, two-staged process designed for a purely human approach. In this thesis, we propose and test a spiral or oscillating approach, where full-text screening is done intermittently with title/abstract screening. We examine this approach in three datasets by simulating 360 conditions with different algorithmic classifiers, feature extractions, prioritization rules, data types, and information provided. Our results overwhelmingly support the spiral processing approach with Logistic Regression, TF-IDF for vectorization, and Maximum Probability for prioritization, demonstrating up to a 90\% improvement over previous two-staged ML methodologies over just title-screening, particularly for databases with fewer eligible articles. These advancements have the potential to make systematic review screening functionally achievable for another one to two decades.
Molecular dynamic simulations of bulk nanobubbles: Investigation of factors important to their stability

description: Nanobubbles are gas-filled bubbles in liquids with a diameter in the 100 nm range. Due to their small size and their long-term stability (up to months), there are various applications available in numerous fields, including medicine, agriculture, water remediation, washing, and mining. Although there are numerous applications and much research has been performed, there is a lack of insight into the stability of bulk nanobubbles. Since bubble pressure is an important parameter for bubble stability, in this project we have used molecular dynamics simulations to investigate nanobubbles in water and factors affecting the pressure. For all simulations, the TIP4P/2005 water model was used. A suitable method to calculate the short-range interactions in nanobubble simulations was explored and the particle mesh Ewald summation method was shown to be superior to the cut-off method. The pressure in systems with different sized nanobubbles was measured to examine whether there may be other contributions in addition to the Laplace pressure. The radii and positions of the bubbles were calculated based on the densities of slices through the systems. The results confirmed that pressure is impacted by factors other than the Laplace pressure, where long-range dipole-dipole interactions are found to play an important role. A manifestation of this was the observation that the distance between adjacent bubbles can effect the pressure.

description: In 1838, when Johannes Müller first described Cholesteatoma,
 he thought that it was a tumour of the fatty tissue, (Latin: steat=fat). The reported annual incidence of Cholesteatoma worldwide is around 10 per 100,000. There have been reports of association between cholesteatoma and pediatric progressive sensorineural hearing loss [1]. Cholesteatoma ears show reduced microbial diversity with predominance gram positive cocci Staphylococcus aureus. Staph aureus cocci are associated with a progressive form of Cholesteatoma [2].
