description: Background: Low energy availability (LEA) is the underlying cause of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) which negatively affects athletes' physiological function, health, and performance. RED-S results from inadequate dietary intake to support energy expenditure for daily living, growth, and optimal performance. It occurs in both male and female athletes, with or without disordered eating. However, screening and diagnosis in athletes can be difficult. Objective: This study aims to identify strong predictors of RED-S and assess its prevalence in collegiate male and female athletes. Methods: A total of 270 NCAA athlete test points from mixed sports were evaluated for RED-S scores based on body fat percentage and difference between actual and ideal body weight. Athletes completed a physical health questionnaire and a body composition assessment (BodPod®). The RED-S Cumulative Risk Assessment Chart was created from the questionnaire. Results: Weight difference alone was not correlated with RED-S score, but when BF% was included, weight difference became a significant predictor (p < 0.01). A lower weight difference below ideal body weight was predictive of RED-S only when body fat percentage was elevated. The study found a moderate RED-S risk in 30.1% of athletes. Conclusions: Weight difference was found to be an independent predictor of RED-S when controlling for BF%. Further research is needed to identify additional screening and prevention strategies for RED-S in collegiate athletes.

description: Hot carriers in a doped graphene under dc electric field is described taking into account the intraband energy relaxation due to acoustic phonon scattering and the interband generation-recombination transitions caused by thermal radiation. The consideration is performed for the case when the intercarrier scattering effectively establishes the quasiequilibrium electron-hole distributions, with effective temperature and concentrations of carriers. The concentration and energy balance equations are solved taking into account an interplay between weak energy relaxation and generation-recombination processes. The nonlinear conductivity is calculated for the momentum relaxation caused by the elastic scattering. The current-voltage characteristics, and the transition between bipolar and monopolar regimes of conductivity are obtained and analyzed, for different temperatures and gate voltages.

Stakeholder perspectives on adoption of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)
Creators: name: Ebrahimi, Ghazal
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Projects in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry frequently perform below expectations related to a variety of metrics for success. Various reasons have been found for these persistent performance gaps; the segregation of processes, services, and actors involved in project delivery in the construction sector has been identified as a root cause. This results in a broken agency, self-interested behaviour, and uncoordinated efforts, which make it difficult to optimize a product as a system. The project delivery method is important in defining the nature of the relationships between project participants, the structure and organization of the project, and eventually the end results. Many have emphasized the need for more collaborative and integrated methods for project delivery in the AEC industry. Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is one such method. Several studies have demonstrated that IPD outperforms conventional methods. In this thesis, I use qualitative methods to characterize environments supportive of IPD and keys to its successful implementation. I also investigate whether the contractual risk sharing framing of IPD hinder or enhance innovation adoption. Finally, I identify the factors that can impede IPD adoption for public sector projects in British Columbia. I found that while executing IPD is perceived to be beneficial in many ways, successful implementations require specific preconditions beyond educating the industry about IPD principles. Success with this method requires development of novel approaches to project planning and management, and early acculturation to collaboration across the AEC industry. IPD was found to be instrumental in addressing some of the barriers to innovation adoption; however, foundational changes to the existing policies, regulations, and programs governing the industry’s operations, and alternative business and financing models are required to alter the industry’s approach towards innovation adoption. It was also found that while IPD could improve project delivery for the public sector in British Columbia, provincial decision-making processes and procurement regulations prohibit its adoption here.
The black holes of radio galaxies during the "Quasar Era": Masses, accretion rates, and evolutionary stage

description: We present an analysis of the AGN broad-line regions of 6 powerful radio galaxies at z>~2 (HzRGs) with rest-frame optical imaging spectroscopy obtained at the VLT. All galaxies have luminous (L(H-alpha)=few x 10^44 erg s^-1), spatially unresolved H-alpha line emission with FWHM>= 10,000 km s^-1 at the position of the nucleus, suggesting their AGN are powered by supermassive black holes with masses of few x 10^9 M_sun and accretion luminosities of a few percent of the Eddington luminosity. In two galaxies we also detect the BLRs in H-beta, suggesting relatively low extinction of A_V~1 mag, which agrees with constraints from X-ray observations. By relating black hole and bulge mass, we find a possible offset towards higher black-hole masses of at most ~0.6 dex relative to nearby galaxies at a given host mass, although each individual galaxy is within the scatter of the local relationship. If not entirely from systematic effects, this would then suggest that the masses of the host galaxies have increased by at most a factor ~4 since z~2 relative to the black-hole masses, perhaps through accretion of satellite galaxies or because of a time lag between star formation in the host galaxy and AGN fueling. We also compare the radiative and mechanical energy output (from jets) of our targets with predictions of recent models of "synthesis" or "grand unified" AGN feedback, which postulate that AGN with similar radiative and mechanical energy output rates to those found in our HzRGs may be nearing the end of their period of active growth. We discuss evidence that they may reach this stage at the same time as their host galaxies.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Background and Purpose
Paragangliomas are tumors of neural crest origin commonly arising from the carotid body, vagal nerve, or jugular bulb. The definitive treatment for these tumors is surgical resection, often augmented with pre-operative embolization due their highly vascular nature. We present our experience examining the efficacy and safety of endovascular embolization of these rare tumors.
Methods:
A review of patient's diagnosed with paragangliomas who underwent pre-operative embolization over a 5-year period (2002–2007) was conducted. The tumor subtype, efficacy of embolization, method of embolization, and rate of complication were noted.
Results:
A total of 38 patients underwent selective arterial embolization of their paraganglioma using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles ranging in size from 100–1000 microns. The tumor subtypes treated were carotid body (n = 20), glomus vagale (n = 10), and glomus jugulare (n = 8). The average age at presentation was 44 years (range, 15–81). Twenty-two patients were female and sixteen were male. The most common artery embolized was the ascending pharyngeal branch of the external carotid artery. Post-embolization angiography revealed an average decrease in blood flow to tumor of 75%. With the exception of transient facial pain documented in 1 patient, there were no known complications from embolization.

description: The theoretical description of photoemission spectra of transition metals was greatly improved recently by accounting for the correlations between the d electrons within the local spin density approximation (LSDA) plus dynamical mean field theory (DMFT). We assess the improvement of the LSDA+DMFT over the plain LSDA in x-ray absorption spectroscopy, which --- unlike the photoemission spectroscopy --- is probing unocccupied electronic states. By investigating the L2,3-edge x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) of Fe, Co, and Ni, we find that the LSDA+DMFT improves the LSDA results, in particular concerning the asymmetry of the L3 white line. Differences with respect to the experiment, nevertheless, remain --- particularly concerning the ratio of the intensities of the L3 and L2 peaks. The changes in the XMCD peak intensities invoked by the use of the LSDA+DMFT are a consequence of the improved description of the orbital polarization and are consistent with the XMCD sum rules. Accounting for the core hole within the final state approximation does not generally improve the results. This indicates that to get more accurate L2,3-edge XANES and XMCD spectra, one has to treat the core hole beyond the final state approximation.

description: Technological advances now allow us to record from large populations of neurons across multiple brain areas. These recordings may illuminate how communication between areas contributes to brain function, yet a substantial barrier remains: how do we disentangle the concurrent, bidirectional flow of signals between populations of neurons? Here we develop a dimensionality reduction framework, delayed latents across groups (DLAG), that disentangles signals relayed in each direction, identifies how these signals are represented by each population, and characterizes how they evolve within and across trials. We systematically validate DLAG in simulation, demonstrating that it performs well over a wide range of simulated conditions, including synthetic datasets similar in scale to current neurophysiological recordings. We also demonstrate its robustness to mild deviations from its model assumptions. Then we use DLAG to study bidirectional communication between neuronal populations in (1) visual areas V1 and V2, recorded simultaneously in anesthetized macaques, and (2) V1 and V4, recorded simultaneously in an awake, passively fixating macaque. In both studies, DLAG revealed signatures of bidirectional yet selective communication. To support the interpretation of DLAG models fit to these neural recordings, we develop descriptive and inferential statistics. Finally, we extend the DLAG framework to include an arbitrary number of neuronal populations (that is, three or more), and validate the extended method with simulated neural activity. This work lays a foundation for dissecting the intricate flow of signals across populations of neurons, and how this signaling contributes to cortical computation.
The Dwarf Nova Outbursts of Nova Her 1960 (=V446 Her)

description: V446 Her is the best example of an old nova which has developed dwarf nova eruptions in the post-nova state. We report on observed properties of the long-term light curve of V446 Her, using photometry over 19 years. Yearly averages of the outburst magnitudes shows a decline of ~0.013 mag/yr, consistent with the decline of other post-novae that do not have dwarf nova outbursts. Previous suggestions of bimodal distributions of the amplitudes and widths of the outbursts are confirmed. The outbursts occur at a mean spacing of 18 days but the range of spacings is large (13-30 days). From simulations of dwarf nova outbursts it has been predicted that the outburst spacing in V446 Her will increase as M-dot from the red dwarf companion slowly falls following the nova; however the large intrinsic scatter in the spacings serves to hide any evidence of this effect. We do find a systematic change in the outburst pattern in which the brighter, wider type of outbursts disappeared after late 2003, and this phenomenon is suggested to be due to falling M-dot following the nova.

description: We perform a quantum simulation of the Ising model with a transverse field using a collection of three trapped atomic ion spins. By adiabatically manipulating the Hamiltonian, we directly probe the ground state for a wide range of fields and form of the Ising couplings, leading to a phase diagram of magnetic order in this microscopic system. The technique is scalable to much larger numbers of trapped ion spins, where phase transitions approaching the thermodynamic limit can be studied in cases where theory becomes intractable.

description: Autonomous systems are being developed and deployed in situations that may require some degree of ethical decision-making ability. As a result, research in machine ethics has proliferated in recent years. This work has included using moral dilemmas as validation mechanisms for implementing decision-making algorithms in ethically-loaded situations. Using trolley-style problems in the context of autonomous vehicles as a case study, I argue (1) that this is a misapplication of philosophical thought experiments because (2) it fails to appreciate the purpose of moral dilemmas, and (3) this has potentially catastrophic consequences; however, (4) there are uses of moral dilemmas in machine ethics that are appropriate and the novel situations that arise in a machine-learning context can shed some light on philosophical work in ethics.

description: The question of colonialism has been a deteriorating phenomenon in African history. Frantz Fanon conceived colonialism as a form of domination with the goal redefining the reality of the world of indigenous (“native”) peoples, which he considered possible through the means of violence. His conception of colonialism is that which with no doubt is embedded in vices and nothing more irrespective of the claims of the colonial masters that they aim at civilizing the people of Africa. Exploitation, extortion, economic stagnancy, regression, and many more vices were all recorded as effects of colonialism. It involves the domination of a set of people in their society by different people known as settlers from another society, promoting class distinction and dehumanization. In a bid to evaluate its effect and impact both on the dominated society and the settlers’ society (nation), Fanon also enters into the discussion as he criticizes the idea of colonialism from his perspective, thereby accentuating possible solutions. This work thereby exposes Fanon’s critique of colonialism, and its’ possible effects if and when followed as proposed by the colonial masters. Using Conceptual and critical analysis, this paper argues that Fanon’s revolutionary model must be reassessed, as contemporary struggles for liberation demand more than armed resistance considering the shift in realities.
Treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms using internally expanding coils
Creators: name: Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institutes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Background and Purpose
The International Subarachnoid Aneurysm Trial (ISAT) showed that patients with intracranial aneurysms treated with coil embolization have better clinical outcomes than those undergoing neurosurgical clipping. However some patients treated endovascularly have recurrence of aneurysms. Low packing density is often cited as a reason for recurrence. Coiling with hydrogel covered coils significantly improves the packing density. We report our initial experience in using a newly introduced design of hydrogel coils.
Methods:
Three consecutive patients with unruptured aneurysms were treated with hydrogel coated coils. During embolization, a stable framework was first established with bare metal coils, and gel coated coils were used subsequently to increase the packing density. After the procedure, packing density was estimated by calculating the compaction ratio using an online calculator.
Results:
Successful coil embolization was achieved in all 3 patients. Hydrogel coated coils comprised 11, 63 and 72% of the total coils deployed. One patient had coil herniation that required stent deployment. All patients remained neurologically intact during and after the procedure. Follow-up angiography in 2 patients at 6 months revealed aneurysm stability without any residual neck remnant.
Conclusions:
The softness of the hydrogel allowed us to deploy coated coils with good packing density. A slight expansion of these coils at the neck can be expected to reduce any neck remnant and potentially inhibit recurrence.

Hardware-Software Implementations of High Performance Graph Algorithms

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University

description: Graph analytics have seen increased attention in science and industry as a tool to gain useful insights from relational data. However, techniques and principles for high performance computing have traditionally focused on dense, regular problems. As a result, graph algorithms have retained a reputation for being ‘irregular’ and difficult for which to design implementations that perform well, i.e., that make efficient use of existing architectures. In this dissertation, we demonstrate that careful analysis and co-design of graph algorithm implementations for modern processor architectures provides improvements in performance whose underlying principles and techniques can be understood and explained at the level of the hardware and software interacting. Through algorithms across two families of graph processing workloads, we demonstrate that careful attention to the mapping of graph operations on functional units, cores, and memory hierarchy improves performance and understanding of how future algorithms, compilers, and architectures should be designed. In our work on motif-finding algorithms such as Triangle Counting and K-Truss, we demonstrate 1) the performance-improving mechanism of graph sorting and why superficially inefficient use of SIMD for set intersections still improves performance, and 2) the effect of careful task sizing and granularity of parallelism on many-thread processors. In graph traversal workloads such as Page Rank, Single Source Shortest Paths (SSSP), and Breadth First Search (BFS), we demonstrate that 1) graph traversal primitives in the form of matrixvector operations have a large capacity for memory level parallelism, but only if designed to overlap functional unit and memory latency and 2) inter-core cache coherence penalties in asynchronous parallel implementations can be mitigated by intentionally delaying those asynchronous updates. The application of our co-design methodology across two families of graph processing workloads enables better performance in existing graph processing frameworks and provides increased insight to the designers of future algorithms, compilers, and architectures.

description: This work investigates the $e^+e^-\rightarrow H\gamma$ production mode in $\rm{\sqrt{s}}=240 GeV$ collisions at the FCC-ee.The utilized event reconstruction is based on IDEA, a detector concept study for FCC-ee.

Loops contribute to the production of the $H\gamma$ final state, which provides insight in the effective $H\gamma\gamma$ and $H\gamma Z$ coupling. Based on the recoil mass method, the analysis comprises both, an inclusive as well as an exclusive study of the $\mathrm{H}\rightarrow b\bar{b}$ channel.The final measurement precision is evaluated by a cut & count analysis in comparison with a likelihood fit. The inclusive measurement results in an expected precision of 230%.The exclusive study yields a precision of 150%.

Constraining phases of quark matter with studies of r-mode damping in neutron stars

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The r-mode instability in rotating compact stars is used to constrain the phase of matter at high density. The color-flavor-locked phase with kaon condensation (CFL-K0) and without (CFL) is considered in the temperature range 10^8K < T <10^{11} K. While the bulk viscosity in either phase is only effective at damping the r-mode at temperatures T > 10^{11} K, the shear viscosity in the CFL-K0 phase is the only effective damping agent all the way down to temperatures T > 10^8 K characteristic of cooling neutron stars. However, it cannot keep the star from becoming unstable to gravitational wave emission for rotation frequencies f ~ 56-11 Hz at T ~ 10^8-10^9 K. Stars composed almost entirely of CFL or CFL-K0 matter are ruled out by observation of rapidly rotating neutron stars, indicating that dissipation at the quark-hadron interface or nuclear crust interface must play a key role in damping the instability.

The targum (1882:Feb. 17)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1882

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.
Adjunct bivalirudin dosing protocol for neuro-endovascular procedures
Creators: name: Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institutes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Objective
To introduce a protocol for anticoagulation using bivalirudin in neuro-endovascular procedures.
Methods:
Three different bivalirudin dosing protocols were used in four consecutive patients undergoing neuro-endovascular procedures. Activated clotting time (ACT) was closely monitored to assess the effect of bivalirudin on ACT. Target ACT was set at 300–350 seconds.
Results:
The first dosing protocol led to largely supra-therapeutic ACT values. With the second protocol, ACT remained sub-therapeutic for 25 minutes (33% of monitoring time). The third protocol was applied to two patients and it showed the best results with the ACT being in the therapeutic range for 72% of the combined monitoring time and never exceeding 366 seconds.
Conclusions:
The dosing of bivalirudin needs to be adjusted for the use in neuro-endovascular procedures. We are proposing a protocol that seems to provide safe and effective anticoagulation. The safety and efficacy of bivalirudin in neuroendovascular procedures will need to be further validated in future studies.
Regulation and function of heparanase in the heart
Creators: name: Wang, Fulong
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Enzymatically-active heparanase (HepA) has been implicated as an essential metabolic adaptation in the heart following diabetes. However, the regulation of the enzymatically-inactive heparanase (HepL) remain poorly understood. We hypothesized that in response to high glucose (HG) and secretion of HepL from the endothelial cell (EC), HepL uptake and function can protect the cardiomyocyte by modifying its cell death signature. HG promoted both HepL and HepA secretion from EC, with subsequent uptake of HepL into cardiomyocytes. This occurred through a low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) dependent mechanism, as LRP1 inhibition significantly reduced uptake. Exogenous addition of HepL to rat cardiomyocytes produced a dramatically altered expression of apoptosis-related genes, and protection against HG and H₂O₂ induced cell death. Cardiomyocytes from acutely diabetic rats demonstrated a robust increase in LRP1 expression and levels of heparanase, a pro-survival gene signature, and limited evidence of cell death, observations that were not apparent following chronic and progressive diabetes. We also tested if overexpression of heparanase can protect the heart against chemically induced or ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Mice overexpressing heparanase (Hep-tg) displayed physiological cardiac hypertrophy and changes in expression of genes related to the stress response, immune response, cell death, and development. These transcriptomic alterations were associated with promotion of unfolded protein response (UPR), autophagy, and oxidative stress resistance in a pro-survival direction. The UPR activation was adaptive and not apoptotic, and together with mTOR inhibition, induced autophagy. Subjecting wild type mice to thapsigargin evoked a transition from adaptive to apoptotic UPR, an effect attenuated in Hep-tg hearts. When exposed to I/R, infarct size and apoptosis were significantly lower in the Hep-tg heart, an effect reversed by inhibitors of UPR and autophagy. Our results highlight EC-to-cardiomyocyte transfer of heparanase to modulate the cardiomyocyte cell death signature. This mechanism was observed in the acutely diabetic heart, and its interruption following chronic diabetes may contribute towards the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Moreover, we established that the mechanisms by which heparanase promotes cell survival in cancer could be uniquely beneficial to the heart and exploited as a therapeutic target for the treatment of heart disease.

description: Strong electron-electron interaction can induce Mott insulating state, which is believed to host unusual correlated phenomena such as quantum spin liquid when quantum fluctuation dominates and unconventional superconductivity through doping. Transition metal compounds as correlated materials provide a versatile platform to engineer the Mott insulating state. Previous studies mostly focused on the controlling of the repulsive interaction and bandwidth of the electrons by gating or doping. Here, we performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) on monolayer 1T phase NbSe2, TaSe2, and TaS2 and directly observed their band structures with characteristic lower Hubbard bands. By systematically investigating the orbital textures and temperature dependence of the energy gap of the materials in this family, we discovered that hybridization of the chalcogen p states with lower Hubbard band stabilizes the Mott phase via tuning of the bandwidth, as shown by a significant increase of the transition temperature (TC) at a stronger hybridization strength. Our findings reveal a mechanism for realizing a robust Mott insulating phase and establish monolayer 1T phase transition metal dichalcogenide family as a promising platform for exploring correlated electron problems.

description: Chirality, i.e., the right- and left-handedness of structure, is one of the key concepts in many fields of science including biology, chemistry and physics, and its manipulation is an issue of vital importance. The electron spins in solids can form chiral configurations. In perovskite manganites RMnO3 (R=Tb, Dy,...etc), the Mn-spins form a cycloidal structure, which induces ferroelectric polarization (P) through the relativistic spin-orbit interaction. This magnetism-induced ferroelectricity (multiferroics) and associated infrared-active spin waves (electromagnons) open a promising route to control the spins by purely electric means in a very short time. In this paper, we show theoretically with an accurate spin Hamiltonian for TbMnO3 that a picosecond optical pulse can switch the spin chirality by intensely exciting the electromagnons with a terahertz frequency.
