description: The Network for Integrating Bioinformatics into Life Sciences Education (NIBLSE) is an NSF funded Research Coordination Network that aims to establish bioinformatics as an essential component of undergraduate life sciences education. As part of that effort, the project is working to make existing bioinformatics learning resources more accessible to non-specialists and increase their use across undergraduate biology courses. To this end, NIBLSE has partnered with the Quantitative Undergraduate Biology Education and Synthesis (QUBES) project to develop and implement a novel model, called incubators, for supporting the refinement, publication, and dissemination of high-quality bioinformatics teaching resources such as a lab activities, worksheets, or classroom exercises.  The incubators bring together the author of an existing resource with experienced users, novice users, and a managing editor from NIBLSE to discuss how to refine and improve the resource to make it more robust and more applicable in various undergraduate settings.  The talk outlines the challenges faced in developing high-quality learning resources and describes how the incubator model addresses several of those challenges.  Examples of previous incubators are presented, and attendees are shown how to volunteer to participate in an incubator.
Eye Movements in Arabic Reading: Foveal and Parafoveal Processing

description: Measures of eye movements provide a moment-by-moment account of the visual and cognitive processes that underlie normal reading. These measures have been used to develop computational models that underlie reading for Latinate languages like English. However, little is known about the processes underlying reading for Semitic languages like Arabic that have different visual and linguistic characteristics. Thus, this thesis aims to examine the foveal and parafoveal processing of Arabic words during normal reading. The eight experiments herein provide a novel investigation of how linguistic, typographic, and visual features of Arabic influence eye movements during reading. Experiments 1 and 2 investigated effects of word predictability, finding that Arabic readers use contextual cues to facilitate word processing. The findings also indicated that readers engage in more detailed parafoveal processing when words are less morphologically complex, and when key letters are visible parafoveally. Experiments 3-5 investigated the effects of using monospaced fonts on word recognition and reading in Arabic. The results from these experiments indicated that Arabic readers experience greater difficulty when reading text in a monospaced font, and that this affected both lexical and contextual processing. Experiments 6-8 then aimed to investigate how letter shape information influences foveal and parafoveal processing in Arabic. The findings from Experiment 6 indicated that Arabic readers use the overall shape of words to identify misspelled words when these are available for foveal inspection. The findings from Experiments 7 and 8 indicated that Arabic readers extract partial letter information from the parafovea to facilitate reading. Overall, these studies highlight that language-specific features of Arabic play a key role in how Arabic readers move their eyes through text. These features include morphological complexity, word structure, inter-letter connectivity pattern, and letter shape similarity. Importantly, these findings will help in developing future computational models that could simulate reading in Arabic.

description: Can one understand the statistics of wins and losses of baseball teams? Are their consecutive-game winning and losing streaks self-reinforcing or can they be described statistically? We apply the Bradley-Terry model, which incorporates the heterogeneity of team strengths in a minimalist way, to answer these questions. Excellent agreement is found between the predictions of the Bradley-Terry model and the rank dependence of the average number team wins and losses in major-league baseball over the past century when the distribution of team strengths is taken to be uniformly distributed over a finite range. Using this uniform strength distribution, we also find very good agreement between model predictions and the observed distribution of consecutive-game team winning and losing streaks over the last half-century; however, the agreement is less good for the previous half-century. The behavior of the last half-century supports the hypothesis that long streaks are primarily statistical in origin with little self-reinforcing component. The data further show that the past half-century of baseball has been more competitive than the preceding half-century.

description: We define circuits given by unitary representations of Lorentzian conformal field theory in 3 and 4 dimensions. Our circuits start from a spinning primary state, allowing us to generalize formulas for the circuit complexity obtained from circuits starting from scalar primary states. These results are nicely reproduced in terms of the geometry of coadjoint orbits of the conformal group. In contrast to the complexity geometry obtained from scalar primary states, the geometry is more complicated and the existence of conjugate points, signaling the saturation of complexity, remains open.

Short Codes for Quantum Channels with One Prevalent Pauli Error Type

description: One of the main problems in quantum information systems is the presence of errors due to noise, and for this reason quantum error-correcting codes (QECCs) play a key role. While most of the known codes are designed for correcting generic errors, i.e., errors represented by arbitrary combinations of Pauli X , Y and Z operators, in this paper we investigate the design of stabilizer QECC able to correct a given number eg of generic Pauli errors, plus eZ Pauli errors of a specified type, e.g., Z errors. These codes can be of interest when the quantum channel is asymmetric in that some types of error occur more frequently than others. We first derive a generalized quantum Hamming bound for such codes, then propose a design methodology based on syndrome assignments. For example, we found a [[9,1]] quantum error-correcting code able to correct up to one generic qubit error plus one Z error in arbitrary positions. This, according to the generalized quantum Hamming bound, is the shortest code with the specified error correction capability. Finally, we evaluate analytically the performance of the new codes over asymmetric channels.
title: The role of the gut microbiome on socio-sexual behaviours in mice
Creators: name: Salia, Stephanie
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2021

description: The gut microbiome is host to trillions of microorganisms that influence the brain and behaviour via the gut-brain axis. Gonadal hormones drive sex differences in the gut microbiota composition that translates into sex-dependent effects on behaviour when depleted. To date, these studies have primarily examined the gut’s depletion on psychiatric disorders, including anxiety and depressive-like behaviours in rodents. The current study explored the role of gut microbiota on socio-sexual behaviours in male and female mice. Broad-spectrum antibiotic (ABX) in drinking water was used to deplete the microbiota in either early development (embryonic day 16 to postnatal day 21) or adulthood (day 60 to 81) while the control group received normal drinking water. Compared to control males, early and adult ABX decreased male territorial aggression, while adulthood ABX also decreased sexual odor preferences among males. Next, I examined whether these decreases in socio-sexual behaviour among males following ABX resulted from the depletion of the gut microbiota, rather than other non-specific effects of antibiotics, and/or whether these behavioural deficits could be due to decreases in androgens. To do so, cecal microbiota transplantation with same and opposite-sex control cecum contents or testosterone treatment was provided to adult antibiotic-treated males. Microbiota transplant with male cecum restored both olfactory preference and male aggression among adult ABX males. Female microbiota partially restored olfactory preference but not aggression among ABX males, while testosterone treatment was insufficient to rescue any of these behaviours. In adult ABX females, male microbiota transplant did not alter socio-sexual behaviours, but testosterone treatment increased male-typical sexual behaviours. Together, the results suggest a sex-dependent role for the gut microbiome in the display of sex-typical behaviours in mice that is independent of androgen.

description: We examine whether or not it is possible to derive the field strength distribution of quiet Sun internetwork regions from very high spatial resolution polarimetric observations in the visible. In particular, we consider the case of the spectropolarimeter attached to the Solar Optical Telescope aboard Hinode. Radiative magneto-convection simulations are used to synthesize the four Stokes profiles of the \ion{Fe}{1} 630.2 nm lines. Once the profiles are degraded to a spatial resolution of 0\farcs32 and added noise, we infer the atmospheric parameters by means of Milne-Eddington inversions. The comparison of the derived values with the real ones indicates that the visible lines yield correct internetwork field strengths and magnetic fluxes, with uncertainties smaller than $\sim$150 G, when a stray light contamination factor is included in the inversion. Contrary to the results of ground-based observations at 1\arcsec, weak fields are retrieved wherever the field is weak in the simulation.

Later, at the outbreak of the Jewish War, a community of Zealots led first by Menachem, and later by his nephew, Eleazar ben Yair, occupied the fortress. Everything we know about Masada derives from Josephus’ first century book, The Jewish War .

description: We present the discovery of optical/X-ray flux correlations on rapid timescales in the low/hard state of the Galactic black hole GX 339-4. The source had recently emerged from outburst and was associated with a relatively-faint counterpart with mag V~17. The optical (VLT/ULTRACAM) and X-ray (RXTE/PCA) data show a clear positive cross-correlation function (CCF) signal, with the optical peak lagging X-rays by ~ 150 ms, preceded by a shallow rise and followed by a steep decline along with broad anti-correlation dips. Examination of the light curves shows that the main CCF features are reproduced in superpositions of flares and dips. The CCF peak is narrow and the X-ray auto-correlation function (ACF) is broader than the optical ACF, arguing against reprocessing as the origin for the rapid optical emission. X-ray flaring is associated with spectral hardening, but no corresponding changes are detected around optical peaks and dips. The variability may be explained in the context of synchrotron emission with interaction between a jet and a corona. The complex CCF structure in GX 339-4 has similarities to that of another remarkable X-ray binary XTE J1118+480, in spite of showing a weaker maximum strength. Such simultaneous multi-wavelength, rapid timing studies provide key constraints for modeling the inner regions of accreting stellar sources.

description: A longstanding question in QCD is the origin of the mass gap in the Yang-Mills sector of QCD, i.e., QCD without quarks. In Landau gauge QCD this mass gap, and hence confinement, is encoded in a mass gap of the gluon propagator, which is found both in lattice simulations and with functional approaches. While functional methods are well suited to unravel the mechanism behind the generation of the mass gap, a fully satisfactory answer has not yet been found. In this work we solve the coupled Dyson-Schwinger equations for the ghost propagator, gluon propagator and three-gluon vertex. We corroborate the findings of earlier works, namely that the mass gap generation is tied to the longitudinal projection of the gluon self-energy, which acts as an effective mass term in the equations. Because an explicit mass term is in conflict with gauge invariance, this leaves two possible scenarios: If it is viewed as an artifact, only the scaling solution survives; if it is dynamical, gauge invariance can only be preserved if there are longitudinal massless poles in either of the vertices. We find that there is indeed a massless pole in the ghost-gluon vertex, however in our approximation with the assumption of complete infrared dominance of the ghost this pole is only present for the scaling solution. We also put forward a possible mechanism that may reconcile the scaling solution, with an infrared dominance of the ghost, with the decoupling solutions based on longitudinal poles in the three-gluon vertex as seen in the PT-BFM scheme.

description: The current methods for characterization of frequency-dependent material properties of human liver are very limited. In fact, there is almost no data available in the literature showing the variation in dynamic elastic modulus of healthy or diseased human liver as a function of excitation frequency. We show that frequency-dependent dynamic material properties of a whole human liver can be easily and efficiently characterized by an impact hammer. The procedure only involves a light impact force applied to the tested liver by a hand-held hammer. The results of our experiments conducted with 15 human livers harvested from the patients having some form of liver disease show that the proposed approach can successfully differentiate the level of fibrosis in human liver. We found that the storage moduli of the livers having no fibrosis (F0) and that of the cirrhotic livers (F4) varied from 10 to 20 kPa and 20 to 50 kPa for the frequency range of 0 to 80 Hz, respectively.

description: The aim of the study is to study the clinical manifestations of Meckel's diverticulum in children. Most often, diverticulum causes strangulation obstruction in newborns and young children, manifesting as a clinic of acute intestinal obstruction, but can cause intestinal obstruction with a characteristic clinical and radiological picture at any age. The diagnosis of Meckel's diverticulum as a source of obstruction is established only with surgical intervention. One of the frequent threatening complications of diverticula is intestinal bleeding, the cause of which should always be kept in mind the bleeding Meckel's diverticulum when excluding the source of bleeding in the upper digestive tract. Diverticulum can manifest in older children with diverticulitis, causing a clinical picture of "acute abdomen". Rarely, Meckel's diverticulum can serve as a reservoir for swallowed foreign bodies of the digestive tract and be diagnosed accidentally during x-ray examination for another pathology.

description: We consider an effective field theory framework with three standard model (SM) gauge singlet right handed neutrinos, and an additional SM gauge singlet scalar field. The framework successfully generates eV masses of the light neutrinos via seesaw mechanism, and accommodates a feebly interacting massive particle (FIMP) as dark matter candidate. Two of the gauge singlet neutrinos participate in neutrino mass generation, while the third gauge singlet neutrino is a FIMP dark matter. We explore the correlation between the $\textit{vev}$ of the gauge singlet scalar field which translates as mass of the BSM Higgs, and the mass of dark matter, which arises due to relic density constraint. We furthermore explore the constraints from the light neutrino masses in this set-up. We chose the gauge singlet BSM Higgs in this framework in the TeV scale. We perform a detailed collider analysis to analyse the discovery prospect of the TeV scale BSM Higgs through its di-fatjet signature, at a future $pp$ collider which can operate with $\sqrt{s}=100$ TeV c.m.energy.

description: Reconceptualist work in curriculum studies resides in an intellectual Patagonia —a distant provincial backwater too often forgotten in the tumultuous capital centers— and places its sole hope for curricular (and social) change on the faint messages it telegraphs from self-chosen margins. To any honest reconceptualist scholar in curriculum studies, the above statement is obvious, and therefore, requires no elaboration. As evidence of this statement, ask a teacher or administrator in K-12 education if they have ever heard of the area or its scholars.

description: The influence of a weak random potential on the collective modes of a trapped interacting Bose-Einstein condensate at zero temperature is calculated in the limit when the correlation length of the disorder is smaller than the healing length of the superfluid. The problem is solved in the Thomas-Fermi limit by generalizing the superfluid hydrodynamic equations to allow for the presence of weak disorder. We find that the disorder-induced frequency-shifts of the low-energy excitations can be of the same order of magnitude as the beyond mean-field corrections in the normal interaction recently observed experimentally.

description: This paper is concerned with some nonlinear propagation phenomena for reaction-advection-diffusion equations with Kolmogrov-Petrovsky-Piskunov (KPP) type nonlinearities in general periodic domains or in infinite cylinders with oscillating boundaries. Having a variational formula for the minimal speed of propagation involving eigenvalue problems ( proved in Berestycki, Hamel and Nadirashvili \cite{BHN1}), we consider the minimal speed of propagation as a function of diffusion factors, reaction factors and periodicity parameters. There we study the limits, the asymptotic behaviors and the variations of the considered functions with respect to these parameters. The last section treats a homogenization problem as an application of the results in the previous sections in order to find the limit of the minimal speed when the periodicity cell is very small.

description: We calculate the production of ultra-light axion-like particles (ALPs) in a nearby supernova progenitor. Once produced, ALPs escape from the star and a part of them is converted into photons during propagation in the Galactic magnetic field. It is found that the MeV photon flux that reaches Earth may be detectable by gamma ray telescopes for ALPs lighter than ~1 neV when Betelgeuse undergoes oxygen and silicon burning. The dependence of the gamma ray flux on the stellar mass is much smaller than the uncertainty that originates from the Galactic magnetic field. If ALPs are lighter than ~0.1 neV and the supernova progenitor is close enough to the Solar System, the gamma ray flux is insensitive to the distance d because the ALP-photon conversion probability is proportional to d^2. (Non-)detection of gamma rays from a supernova progenitor with next-generation gamma ray telescopes just after pre-supernova neutrino alerts would lead to an independent constraint on ALP parameters as stringent as a SN 1987A limit.

description: We report the first detection in space of the two doubly deuterated isotopologues of methyl acetylene. The species CHD2CCH and CH2DCCD were identified in the dense core L483 through nine and eight, respectively, rotational lines in the 72-116 GHz range using the IRAM 30m telescope. The astronomical frequencies observed here were combined with laboratory frequencies from the literature measured in the 29-47 GHz range to derive more accurate spectroscopic parameters for the two isotopologues. We derive beam-averaged column densities of (2.7 +/- 0.5)e12 cm-2 for CHD2CCH and (2.2 +/- 0.4)e12 cm-2 for CH2DCCD, which translate to abundance ratios CH3CCH/CHD2CCH = 34 +/- 10 and CH3CCH/CH2DCCD = 42 +/- 13. The doubly deuterated isotopologues of methyl acetylene are only a few times less abundant than the singly deuterated ones, concretely around 2.4 times less abundant than CH3CCD. The abundances of the different deuterated isotopologues with respect to CH3CCH are reasonably accounted for by a gas-phase chemical model in which deuteration occurs from the precursor ions C3H6D+ and C3H5D+, when the ortho-to-para ratio of molecular hydrogen is sufficiently low. This points to gas-phase chemical reactions, rather than grain-surface processes, as responsible for the formation and deuterium fractionation of CH3CCH in L483. The abundance ratios CH2DCCH/CH3CCD = 3.0 +/- 0.9 and CHD2CCH/CH2DCCD = 1.25 +/- 0.37 observed in L483 are consistent with the statistically expected values of three and one, respectively, with the slight overabundance of CHD2CCH compared to CH2DCCD being well explained by the chemical model.

A prototype design and performance of the Savonius rotor based irrigation system
Creators: name: Roth, Neal Joseph
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Important stages in the development of a wind energy operated irrigation system, which is simple in design and easy to maintain, are described from model tests in wind tunnels through to a prototype prepared for field tests. The attention is focussed on gross features of the protoype including the blade geometry and aspect ratio; mast, sleeve and bearing assemblies; braking system and a load matching concept. Described towards the end are the field test arrangements of the prototype and associated instrumentation. Even according to the most conservative estimate, the prototype tests suggest that the windmill should be able to deliver around 3000 liters of water per day (eight hours of wind) to a head of 5 m in a 24 km/h wind.
An investigation of genetically determined telomere length and its impact on disease in UK Biobank

description: Telomere length has been proposed as a marker of biological age, and numerous studies have shown associations between directly measured telomere length and age-related disease risk. The study into underlying genetic contribution to telomere length have recently begun to emerge and bring an understanding of the genetic effect of telomere length on human health.This study investigates genetically determined telomere length and its association with age-related diseases. A genetic risk score was built within UK Biobank for each participant using the genetic determinants of telomere length identified in our large-scale genome-wide meta-analysis study and tested against a curated list of 127 diseases. Some of these associations were confirmed as causal using mendelian randomisation and taken further to model the effects on time to disease onset using survival analysis.Shorter genetically determined telomere length was causally associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular, endocrine, and immune disease phenotypes, and a decreased risk of diseases with high proliferative capacity. This study provides evidence that genetically determined telomere length is involved in the aetiology of age-related disease and influences time to disease onset, which highlights the primary function of telomere length in limiting cell division. A genetic predisposition to shorter telomere length may contribute to an accelerated loss of telomeric repeats during cell division. Whilst a genetic predisposition to longer telomere length may contribute to increased telomere length maintenance that accumulates mutations that may lead to malignancies.

Subjects: Construction; Occupational Safety and Health; Risk Management; Case study; Prevention through Design

description: Occupational safety and health (OSH) still remains a challenge to the construction industry world-wide and source of worry for industry stakeholders. The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM) have been the primary tool to drive changes in the management of health and safety in the UK construction industry. Six (6) years after its latest Regulations (CDM 2015), there is a need for introspection, stock-taking and learning on current practice and how to manage more collaboratively OSH risks on construction projects. Hence, this comprehensive case study focuses on effective approaches regarding how OSH risks were managed at the pre-construction stage of a medium-size domestic refurbishment project.

description: A Faculty Christmas party with all the trimmings of a brightly lit tree, a myriad of decorations and a stream of greetings and well wishes for a merry Christmas. And so yet another season begins and once again we wonder where we fit.

I looked at my Jewish colleague and wondered if she was feeling what I was experiencing…. a strange sense of not belonging, or looking from the outside in. As usual I searched for something vegetarian to eat amongst the array of foods spread out. It was interesting, but not surprising that there was not much of a choice.

As a matter of course I scoured the beverage table for something non-alcoholic. As usual a friendly face approached me and I found myself being pulled into the age-old debate about Muslim customs and traditions. I put on my best smile and found myself responding in the most politically correct manner, whatever that entails.

Suddenly, face to face with my Jewish colleague, I am not quite sure what happened but whatever it was prompted us to explore the premises of this tension that we experience virtually every day of our ‘public’ lives.

description: As we scan the surface of the global “eduscape”, we recognise diverse educational markers, signposts, prevailing movements and eruptions, and our attention is caught by the formation and development of phenomena called International Education. In this paper, we are attempting to locate ourselves in this educational landscape, while simultaneously understanding and assessing the practices and praxis of International Education.

We are four educators working in the post-secondary system: we have been colleagues and friends through graduate study, and beyond. Even as our friendships have been forged through compatible interests and worldviews, more recently we have come together as a team (coordinator, instructors, mentors and sounding boards) for a Master of Education program that falls under the umbrella of International Education in the Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University (SFU). This paper presents our reflections as we navigate the complex practices of this program and, through a description of some of the dilemmas we have faced, enables links between theory and practice as we seek a way to align internationalization to ethical practice.

description: We explore the signals of a charged Higgs arising in a two Higgs doublet model respecting SU(2)_L times U(1) times Z_2 symmetry with three singlet right handed neutrinos, N_R. The charged Higgs in this model has negligible coupling with quarks, and has unsuppressed coupling to leptons and neutrinos. This leads to novel signatures of the charged Higgs at the LHC, especially in the case of an inverted neutrino mass hierarchy, in the form of electrons and muons with missing energy.

Learning From Caroline Pratt

description: To understand the philosophy of the pragmatist philosopher Caroline Pratt (1867-1954) is a challenge I have struggled with for many years. Like pragmatism itself, Pratt’s philosophy is elusive. This evasion is central to her intellectual thought. In reading her 1948 autobiography, I Learn From Children: An Adventure in Progressive Education, she reflects, “All my life I have fought against formula. Once you set down a formula, you are imprisoned by it…I would not be talked into marking out any blueprints for education, outside the school or in it. This refusal to formulate a ‘system’ made me a problem” (pg 58). Her commitment to keep ideas in “play” is what made her an exemplar of pragmatist thought. Ironically, her refusal to be imprisoned by any system, blueprint or formula has relegated her to the margins of pragmatist philosophy and progressive educational history.

description: Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) is a rapidly growing set of technologies that automate the model development pipeline by searching model space and generating candidate models. A critical, final step of AutoML is human selection of a final model from dozens of candidates. In current AutoML systems, selection is supported only by performance metrics. Prior work has shown that in practice, people evaluate ML models based on additional criteria, such as the way a model makes predictions. Comparison may happen at multiple levels, from types of errors, to feature importance, to how the model makes predictions of specific instances. We developed \tool{} to support interactive model comparison for AutoML by integrating multiple Explainable AI (XAI) and visualization techniques. We conducted a user study in which we both evaluated the system and used it as a technology probe to understand how users perform model comparison in an AutoML system. We discuss design implications for utilizing XAI techniques for model comparison and supporting the unique needs of data scientists in comparing AutoML models.

A mathematical model for airfoils with spoilers or split flaps
Creators: name: Yeung, William Wai-Hung
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A flow model for a Joukowsky airfoil with an inclined spoiler or split flap is constructed based on the early work by Parkinson and Jandali. No restriction is imposed on the airfoil camber, the inclination and length of the spoiler or split flap, and the angle of incidence. The flow is assumed to be steady, two-dimensional, inviscid and incompressible. A sequence of conformal transformations is developed to deform the contour of the airfoil and the spoiler (split flap) onto the circumference of the unit circle over which the flow problem is solved. The partially separated flow region behind these bluff bodies is simulated by superimposing suitable singularities in the transform plane. The trailing edge, the tip of the spoiler (flap) are made critical points in the mappings so that Kutta conditions are satisfied there. The pressures at these critical points are matched to the pressure inside the wake, the only empirical input to the model. Some studies of an additional boundary condition for solving the flow problem were carried out with considerable success. The chordwise pressure distributions and the overall lift force variations are compared with experiments. Good agreement in general is achieved. The model can be extended readily to airfoils of arbitrary profile with the application of the Theodorsen transformation.
Determination of stellar, orbital and planetary parameters using complete Monte-Carlo analysis -- the case of HAT-P-7b

description: The recently discovered transiting very hot Jupiter, HAT-P-7b, a planet detected by the telescopes of HATNet, turned out to be among the ones subjected to the highest irradiation from the parent star. As known, the combination of photometric and spectroscopic data for such an object yields the stellar, orbital and planetary parameters. In order to best characterize this particular planet, we carried out a complex analysis based on a complete and simultaneous Monte-Carlo solution using all available data. We included the discovery light curves, partial follow-up light curves, the radial velocity data, and we used the stellar evolution models to infer the stellar properties. This self-consistent way of modeling provides the most precise estimate of the a posteriori distributions of all of the system parameters of interest, and avoids making assumptions on the values and uncertainties of any of the internally derived variables describing the system. This analysis demonstrates that even partial light curve information can be valuable. This may become very important for future discoveries of planets with longer periods -- and therefore longer transit durations -- where the chance of observing a full event is small.
