description: We propose a conjecture to compute the all-order asymptotic expansion of the colored Jones polynomial of the complement of a hyperbolic knot, J_N(q = exp(2u/N)) when N goes to infinity. Our conjecture claims that the asymptotic expansion of the colored Jones polynomial is a the formal wave function of an integrable system whose semiclassical spectral curve S would be the SL_2(C) character variety of the knot (the A-polynomial), and is formulated in the framework of the topological recursion. It takes as starting point the proposal made recently by Dijkgraaf, Fuji and Manabe (who kept only the perturbative part of the wave function, and found some discrepancies), but it also contains the non-perturbative parts, and solves the discrepancy problem. These non-perturbative corrections are derivatives of Theta functions associated to S, but the expansion is still in powers of 1/N due to the special properties of A-polynomials. We provide a detailed check for the figure-eight knot and the once-punctured torus bundle L^2R. We also present a heuristic argument inspired from the case of torus knots, for which knot invariants can be computed from a matrix model.

description: A QCD analysis is reported of ATLAS data on inclusive W and Z boson production in pp collisions at the LHC, jointly with ep deep inelastic scattering data from HERA. The ATLAS data exhibit sensitivity to the light quark sea composition and magnitude at Bjorken x ~ 0.01. Specifically, the data support the hypothesis of a symmetric composition of the light quark sea at low x. The ratio of the strange-to-down sea quark distributions is determined to be 1.00(+0.25-0.28) at absolute four-momentum transfer squared Q^2 = 1.9 GeV^2 and x = 0.023.

description: Background: Overwhelming evidence suggests that physical activity in adolescence promotes mental health and prevents mental illness; however, fewer studies have examined these effects in young adults. Furthermore, there is a paucity of research exploring the relationship between physical activity and utilization of mental health services. This study aimed to address these gaps and provide meaningful information for the promotion of physical activity in Canada.Objective: To utilize nationally linked datasets and explore the longitudinal associations between physical activity among Canadian adolescents and young adults (AYAs; 12-24 years) and incidence of psychiatric hospitalizations.Methods: We used data from the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS; 2001-2014) linked to the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD; 1999-2018). Physical activity was measured among AYAs from the CCHS, and psychiatric hospitalizations were identified in the DAD. Negative binomial regression analyses were performed on each CCHS cycle to obtain incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for psychiatric hospitalizations by level of physical activity, which were subsequently meta-analyzed to obtain pooled estimates.Results: In total, 96,100 participants were recruited across eleven survey cycles. Adolescents were more physically active (52%) compared to young adults (39%). The incidence rate of psychiatric hospitalizations was 1.10 per 100,000 person-days in the 2001 cycle and 1.46 in the 2014 cycle. The most common reason for a psychiatric hospitalization was for mood or anxiety disorders (38%). Crude analyses showed no significant differences between levels of physical activity; however, fully adjusted models found that moderately active (IRR= 1.30; 95% CI: 1.02-1.66; p= 0.01) and inactive (IRR= 1.33; 95% CI: 1.06-1.66; p= 0.01) participants had significantly higher rates of psychiatric hospitalizations compared to active participants. Conclusions: These results suggest that lower levels of physical activity during adolescence and young adulthood may increase rates of subsequent psychiatric hospitalizations. This provides valuable information to policy makers looking to implement mental illness prevention strategies through physical activity and lays the foundation for future studies with similar aims.
Amore e conoscenza intellettuale
Un possibile percorso delle influenze agostiniane sul pensiero contemporaneo
Creators: name: Parodi, Massimo

Year: 2008

description: In alcuni settori della riflessione filosofica contemporanea appare evidente una sorta di ritorno ad Agostino, per sottolineare una componente affettiva, nella conoscenza umana, accanto alla componente intellettuale.
Dal punto di vista storico si tratta di comprendere se i temi ripresi siano autenticamente agostiniani o siano piuttosto caratteristici di una tradizione nata dalla crisi del paradigma agostiniano e sviluppatasi in particolar modo nel pensiero monastico e mistico.
La dottrina agostiniana della conoscenza non individua infatti né distinzione, né gerarchia tra le facoltà dell'anima; mentre l'accentuazione di una sorta di supremazia dell'amore rispetto all'intelligenza, analitica e calcolante, risulta ancora, secondo l'autore, una forma di accettazione del modello cartesiano di ragione.

Si delinea così il rapporto fra l'io e il tu che, nella persona umana, costituisce l'essere come amore, in quanto la persona si viene costruendo a partire essenzialmente dall'incontro, secondo la logica della relazione che si rivela appunto come logica dell'amore.

On unremovable divergencies in four-dimensional electrodynamics localized on a domain wall

description: In this paper a model describing fermions and gauge field localized on a domain wall is considered. The zero-mode sector of the model reproduces four-dimensional spinor electrodynamics. It is shown that in the resulting four-dimensional effective theory the lowest-order renormalized amplitude of the elastic $γγ$ scattering process is divergent due to the contributions of higher modes and thus such a scenario can not be considered as a realistic mechanism for fields localization on a domain wall.

La figura di Maria Maddalena nella tradizione agostiniana del XII secolo e l'allegoria nuziale in Bernardo di Clairvaux
Un'ipotesi di interpretazione alla luce di categorie di ordine psicoanalitico

description: Nella tradizione agostiniana del XII secolo compaiono temi e linguaggi che suggeriscono la presenza, accanto al discorso teologico, di un discorso dell'uomo sull'uomo.
Si analizza la figura di Maria Maddalena in alcuni autori del XII secolo e l'allegoria nuziale nei Sermones super Cantica di Bernardo di Clairvaux.
La lettura viene condotta sulla base di categorie concettuali di carattere psicoanalitico, in quanto tali categorie trovano la propria origine, prima ancora che nel pensiero, nella più concreta e profonda esperienza umana. Ed è proprio il collocarsi all'interno di questa viva esperienza umana che consente di cogliere in modo più diretto la dimensione antropologica che pare emergere dagli scrittori monastici di questo periodo.

description: Locomotor outputs are controlled by a combination of descending input, sensory feedback and networks of cells in the spinal cord called central pattern generators (CPGs). In the absence of descending input, sensory feedback and CPGs are able to produce rhythmic muscle activation, which create complex patterns of locomotor outputs such as crawling, swimming, walking, cycling. Arm cycling is used as a model of locomotion in order to examine various changes in neural excitability as humans require descending input in order to preform successful locomotion. The human nervous system is complex with many different pathways and tracts; one of which, the corticospinal tract, is involved in the voluntary control of human locomotion. Research investigating corticospinal excitability during arm cycling found that supraspinal excitability was greater during arm cycling than a position- and intensity-matched tonic contraction, yet the mechanism(s) are unclear. Various cortical circuits, such as short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) and interhemispheric inhibition (IHI), have been investigated. However, these results do not shed light on possible mechanisms for greater supraspinal excitability during arm cycling. Only one study assessed long-interval intracortical inhibition (LICI) during locomotion, but it was during leg cycling and did not assess task-dependency. To date, there has yet to be a study that has assessed LICI during arm cycling. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to determine if LICI is 1) present during arm cycling and 2) task-dependent. It was hypothesized that 1) LICI would be observed during arm cycling and 2) the amount of LICI would be less during arm cycling compared to a tonic contraction.

description: Unplanned extubations are the uncontrolled and accidental removal of an endotracheal tube and are an adverse event and quality indicator in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs). The literature on quality improvement (QI) interventions to prevent unplanned intubations in PICUs has not been comprehensively synthesized. Furthermore, large-scale studies of practices related to intubation and preventing unplanned extubations have not been conducted across multiple PICUs. Unplanned extubations are infrequent events, with recent studies reporting rates between 0.74-1.5 events/100 intubation days. This has contributed to small sample sizes in previous studies. Small sample sizes and single-centre studies limit the generalizability of findings and the ability to detect associations. These gaps are addressed in this dissertation. The overarching aim of this dissertation was to explore unplanned extubations in PICUs, applying theories and methodology from quality improvement, implementation science, knowledge translation, and epidemiology. In the first manuscript, we conducted a systematic review on quality improvement interventions to prevent unplanned extubations in PICUs. The median number of QI interventions described by the ten included studies was 4.5 [IQR 4-5], with a focus on guidelines, environmental restructuring, education, training, and communication. The second manuscript is an observational, cross-sectional study exploring care practices related to intubation and preventing unplanned extubations across PICUs. Data were gathered via a survey distributed to PICUs in the Virtual Pediatric Systems (VPS) database, and the analyses demonstrated substantial variability in clinical practice, including staffing, frequency of procedures, and treatment-related goals. The third manuscript is a retrospective observational study and prediction model that explored unplanned extubations requiring reintubation in PICUs using data from the VPS database. Of the 5,703 patients that experienced an unplanned extubation, 1,661 (29.1%) required reintubation. Variables associated with increased risk of reintubation were younger age and respiratory diagnosis. The multilevel least absolute shrinkage selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression model predicting reintubation resulted in an AUROC of 0.59 (95% CI: 0.57–0.61) with variables age, weight, diagnosis, and scheduled admission. The results of these three manuscripts contribute to the field of patient safety in PICUs, which is integrated into clinical recommendations and directions for future research.

description: Under broad assumptions breaking of Lorentz invariance in gravitational theories leads to tension with unitarity because it allows for processes that apparently violate the second law of thermodynamics. The crucial ingredient of this argument is the existence of black hole solutions with the interior shielded from infinity by a causal horizon. We study how the paradox can be resolved in the healthy extension of Horava gravity. To this aim we analyze classical solutions describing large black holes in this theory with the emphasis on their causal structure. The notion of causality is subtle in this theory due to the presence of instantaneous interactions. Despite this fact, we find that within exact spherical symmetry a black hole solution contains a space-time region causally disconnected from infinity by a surface of finite area -- the `universal horizon'. We then consider small perturbations of arbitrary angular dependence in the black hole background. We argue that aspherical perturbations destabilize the universal horizon and, at non-linear level, turn it into a finite-area singularity. The causal structure of the region outside the singularity is trivial. If the higher-derivative terms in the equations of motion smear the singularity while preserving the trivial causal structure of the solutions, the thermodynamics paradox would be obviated. As a byproduct of our analysis we prove that the black holes do not have any non-standard long-range hair. We also comment on the relation with Einstein-aether theory, where the solutions with universal horizon appear to be stable.

On energy transfer of parametric resonance for wave energy conversion

Year: 2021
Subjects: wave energy converter, parametric resonance, energy transfer, multiple degree of freedom, hydrodynamic modelling

description: Parametric resonance has been observed, both numerically and experimentally, in various studies of wave energy converters (WECs). A large motion in heave induces a periodic variation in the metacentric height of a WEC body, and, consequently, causes a harmonic variation in pitch/roll restoring coefficients, which can parametrically excite the pitch/roll modes. Current studies have a specific focus to determine the occurrence conditions of parametric resonance, by detecting the boundaries between stable and unstable regions in the parameter space. In the literature, some studies aim to make use of parametric resonance for improving power capture. In contrast, some studies try to suppress the effect of parametric resonance, as it reduces power capture efficiency. However, how energy transfers from one mode to another is not fully understood. This study aims to analyse the energy transfer between heave and pitch/roll modes when parametric resonance occurs. A generic cylindrical point absorber is studied as a WEC floater to considering non-linear wave-structure interaction, including non-linear Froude-Krylov and viscous forces. A heave-pitch-roll three-degree-of-freedom model is derived for numerical study of the energy transfer between different operation modes.

description: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a prevalent disease, and antidepressants lack efficacy in many patients, motivating investigation for new therapeutic modalities. Altered microbiome composition and metabolism have been implicated in MDD, but the specific species and metabolites involved, and their mechanisms of effect, remain elusive. We set out to test whether two bacterial species correlated with MDD alter emotionality-related behaviors in stress-naïve and chronic stress-exposed mice, when added to the stable defined moderately diverse mouse microbiome 2 (sDMDMm2) consortium. We hypothesized that Lachnospiraceae bacterium would increase, and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii would decrease, these behaviors in both conditions. Further, we hypothesized that these behavioural effects would coincide with effects on microbiome composition and metabolism. To assess emotionality-like behavior, we established a gnotobiotic behavioral system comprised of five tests and the chronic variable stress (CVS) model for studying depression. L. bacterium did not alter depressive and anxiety-like behaviors in the stress-naïve condition. In the CVS condition, an increase in anxiety-like behavior was seen in one assay, the elevated plus maze test, in one preliminary experimental replicate. Illumina 16S V4 amplicon sequencing revealed that L. bacterium significantly altered microbiome composition. Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry (HILIC-MS/MS) also revealed a significant effect of L. bacterium on microbiome and serum metabolism. This thesis offers a novel methodological approach to investigate causal relationships between bacterial species and emotionality-related behaviors, and to identify microbial candidates for microbiome-targeted therapies for MDD.Keywords: microbiome, Lachnospiriceae bacterium, Major Depressive Disorder, Metabolism.

description: Quantum criticality, being important as an indicator of new quantum matters emerging, is known to occur only at zero or low temperature. We find that a quantum probe, if its coherence time is long, can detect quantum criticality at infinitely high temperature. In particular, the echo control over a spin probe can remove the thermal fluctuation effects and hence reveals the quantum fluctuation effects. Probes with quantum coherence time of milliseconds or seconds can be used to study emerging quantum orders that would occur at extremely low temperatures of nano- or pico-Kelvin. This discovery establishes a physical link between time and inverse temperature and provides a new route to the wonderland of quantum matters.

Our results apply to T-dualities with respect to any circle action on spacetime. As before, T-duality exchanges type IIA and type IIB string theories. A new consequence is that the T-dual spacetime is a singular space when the fixed point set is non-empty; the singularities correspond to Kaluza-Klein monopoles. We propose that the Ramond-Ramond charges of type II string theories on the singular dual are classified by twisted equivariant cohomology groups. We also include the K-theory approach.

Starting to Hate the State: The Beginning of the Character’s Dissidence in Dystopian Literature and Films
Creators: name: Galdón Rodríguez, Angel
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2010
Subjects: dissidence ; dystopian ; Huxley ; Bradbury ; Gilliam

description: Once the dystopian genre gained its actual shape in literature, during the first decades of the twentieth century several concepts appeared constantly in most of this kind of novels. A common topic has been the dissidence of the main character, who at the initial stage of the plot is a strong supporter of the ideals of the state he/she lives in. Hence, such kind of power, at first caring and protective, turns into a pursuing machine with the aim of eradicating any alternative thinking. Furthermore, since the fifties, films based on this literary genre have also adapted the evolution from love to hate towards the totalitarian state, that must bring the new dissident back under the protection of power. My purpose in this essay is to show some instances of this change in dystopian literature and cinema along different periods of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, in order to prove that the idea is still worth studying, as writers and directors have kept it as an important axis of the plot.

“Dreamers Often Lie”: On “Compromise”, the subversive documentation of an Israeli- Palestinian political adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet

Year: 2010
Subjects: Romeo and Juliet; Middle East Conflict; Israeli documentary filmmaking; Georgio Agamben; State of Emergency

description: Is Romeo and Juliet relevant to a description of the Middle-East conflict? This is the question raised in Compromise, an Israeli documentary that follows the Jerusalem Khan Theater's production of the play in the mid-1990's. This paper describes how the cinematic documentation of a theatrical Shakespeare production can undermine the original intentions of its creators. This staging of the play was carefully planned in order to demonstrate to the country and the world that Israelis and Palestinians are willing to search for a peaceful solution in the Middle East: Two directors - Israeli -Eran Baniel and Palestinian Fuad Awad - co-directed both Israeli and Palestinian actors, using both languages: Arabic and Hebrew. This seemingly balanced solution was acclaimed on European television but for Israeli director Even, this was only a façade. Following backstage situation,  Compromise reveals the truth behind the mask in order to denounce the manipulative use of what Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben defines as state of emergency, which is the hegemonic mechanism that deprives people of the elementary civil rights. Questioning the issue of co-existence against the political background of the 1990's (including bomb attacks and the signing of the Camp David Treaty in 1993), the film plays on the discrepancy between the denouement of Romeo and Juliet and the unsolvable situation in which people in the Middle-East - amongst them the actors themselves- are condemned to live.

Minimum Hellinger Distance Estimation of Cox Proportional Hazard Model with Right Censored Data

description: Cox Proportional Hazard (Cox PH) models are simple but frequently used in survival analysis. Theunknown coefficient parameters in a Cox PH model are usually estimated by the partial maximum likelihood estimation (PMLE) introduced by Cox (1975). Nevertheless, maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) is generally non-robust against model misspecification and outlying observations.When data is contaminated, PMLE produces inaccurate estimates with a large bias. In this thesis, we proposed a robust distance-based method, specifically, minimum Hellinger distance estimation (MHDE) for Cox model with right censored data. I considered both discrete and continuous covariates and accommodated the difference in the type of covariates by introducing different versions of MHDE. Through extensive simulation studies, we examined the performance of the proposed MHDEs and compared them with the PMLE. Our numerical results showed that the proposed MHDEs are competitive with the PMLE under true model, while they outperform the PMLE when outliers are present which testified to excellent robustness property of the proposed MHDEs. We also demonstrated the applications of the proposed MHDE to two real data analyses.

Singlet-doublet Higgs mixing and its implications on the Higgs mass in the PQ-NMSSM

description: We examine the implications of singlet-doublet Higgs mixing on the properties of a Standard Model (SM)-like Higgs boson within the Peccei-Quinn invariant extension of the NMSSM (PQ-NMSSM). The SM singlet added to the Higgs sector connects the PQ and visible sectors through a PQ-invariant non-renormalizable Kähler potential term, making the model free from the tadpole and domain-wall problems. For the case that the lightest Higgs boson is dominated by the singlet scalar, the Higgs mixing increases the mass of a SM-like Higgs boson while reducing its signal rate at collider experiments compared to the SM case. The Higgs mixing is important also in the region of parameter space where the NMSSM contribution to the Higgs mass is small, but its size is limited by the experimental constraints on the singlet-like Higgs boson and on the lightest neutralino constituted mainly by the singlino whose Majorana mass term is forbidden by the PQ symmetry. Nonetheless the Higgs mixing can increase the SM-like Higgs boson mass by a few GeV or more even when the Higgs signal rate is close to the SM prediction, and thus may be crucial for achieving a 125 GeV Higgs mass, as hinted by the recent ATLAS and CMS data. Such an effect can reduce the role of stop mixing.

Graduate counselling psychology students' experiences of mindfulness meditation and gratitude journalling
Creators: name: Chlebak, Catherine Mary

description: Stress-impacts, both short and long term, are well-documented occupational “land-mines” that counsellors navigate throughout their careers (Baker, 2003; Guy, Poelstra, & Stark, 1989). Novice therapists and trainees are particularly vulnerable to these effects (Shapiro, Brown, & Biegel, 2007). Protective practices to prevent impairment and distress are paramount; one significant antidote is through self-care (Baker, 2003), having positive impacts both personally and professionally (Elman, 2007). Mindfulness is naturally linked with self-care through cultivating self-regulation and self-awareness, balancing interests related to self and others, and through coping (Shapiro et al. 2007). Emerging research with health care professionals, including trainees, shows benefits both personally and professionally (e.g. Davis & Hayes, 2011). Gratitude, considered theoretically to be linked with mindfulness, also has self-care roots. This emotion is considered within a cluster of traits associated with wellness and health (McCullough, 2002); not suprisingly, then, a causal relationship between well-being and gratitude is established (Nelson, 2009). Despite this research, counselling training programs have historically done little to offer trainees self-care strategies (Baker, 2003). In order to address these gaps, using a qualitative design with thematic analysis, a 15-minute mindfulness meditation and gratitude journalling intervention was conducted with 9 graduate counselling psychology students. Data was collected and analyzed from the weekly diaries and an interview at study-end. Four themes emerged from the interviews: Routine & Structure, Relationships, Attitudes of Mindfulness, and Overall Impressions. The diaries revealed three themes: Relationships, Situtational / Life Circumstances, and Ineffable Life Enhancers. A compelling argument is made for the inclusion of a mindfulness curriculum and for further studies of gratitude counselling interventions and the mindfulness and gratitude relationship.

description: In this paper we study two separate problems on interpolation. We first give some new equivalences of Stout's Theorem on necessary and sufficient conditions for a sequence of points to be an interpolating sequence on a finite open Riemann surface. We next turn our attention to the question of interpolation for reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces on the polydisc and provide a collection of equivalent statements about when it is possible to interpolation in the Schur-Agler class of the associated reproducing kernel Hilbert space.

Gauge-invariant perturbations at second order in two-field inflation

description: We study the second-order gauge-invariant adiabatic and isocurvature perturbations in terms of the scalar fields present during inflation, along with the related fully non-linear space gradient of these quantities. We discuss the relation with other perturbation quantities defined in the literature. We also construct the exact cubic action of the second-order perturbations (beyond any slow-roll or super-horizon approximations and including tensor perturbations), both in the uniform energy density gauge and the flat gauge in order to settle various gauge-related issues. We thus provide the tool to calculate the exact non-Gaussianity beyond slow-roll and at any scale.

Temporal Trends in Hospitalization Rates for Inflammatory Bowel Disease in the 21st Century: a systematic review and population-based cohort study

description: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Individuals living with IBD are heavily burdened for life and may require medication reliance, hospitalization, or surgery. There are a plethora of studies investigating hospitalization rates, but literature is highly heterogeneous methodologically and has never been comprehensively synthesized. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to conduct a systematic review of global IBD hospitalization trends and a population-based Alberta cohort study that will contribute to the literature.Medline and Embase were systematically searched for population-based studies reporting annual IBD, Crohn’s disease (CD), or ulcerative colitis (UC) hospitalizations counts, hospitalization rates per 100,000 persons, or hospitalization rates per 100 IBD population. Using log-linear models, temporal trends in hospitalization rates were analyzed. Random effects meta-analysis pooled country level Average Annual Percentage Change (AAPC). Data were stratified by the epidemiologic stage of a region: Compounding Prevalence (Stage 3) in North America, Western Europe, and Oceania versus Acceleration of Incidence (Stage 2) in Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America versus Emergence (Stage 1) in developing countries.Population-based administrative databases from Alberta, Canada, were used to identify a cohort of individuals with IBD from 2002 to 2018. Primary (i.e., most responsible diagnoses) and all-cause IBD hospitalization rates were calculated using the prevalent Alberta IBD population and then compared to rates using the general population as the denominator. Rates were age and sex standardized to the Canadian population. Log-linear models calculated AAPC in hospitalization rates with 95% CI.iiiHospitalization rates for IBD are stabilizing in countries in Stage 3, whereas newly industrialized countries in Stage 2 have rapidly rising hospitalization rates, contributing to an increasing burden on global healthcare systems. In Alberta, IBD hospitalization rates are decreasing for both primary admissions for a flare and all-cause hospitalizations. Differences in temporal trends when assessing hospitalization rates using the general population rather than the IBD prevalent population may be due to the rapidly rising prevalence of IBD. Therefore, calculation of rates using the IBD prevalent population may more accurately represent burden and trends in hospitalization rates.
Exploring microbial controls on methane cycling using MLTreeMap
Creators: name: Song, Young Chang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Biological methane (CH₄) production, or methanogenesis, plays a crucial role in the global carbon cycle. Biologically generated CH₄ can be emitted into the atmosphere, where it acts as greenhouse gas twenty five times more potent than carbon dioxide (CO₂), stored as “methane ice” (clathrates or hydrates) in marine sediments along continental margins, or oxidized under aerobic or anaerobic conditions by microbial agents effectively limiting atmospheric flux. Methanogenesis is orchestrated by a group of obligate anaerobic archaea within the phylum Euryarchaeota, known as the methanogens that produce CH₄ as the end product of their energy metabolism. Three methanogenic pathways have been described including the hydrogenotrophic, methylotrophic and aceticlastic. Although differing in their use of electron donors, all three pathways converge on a terminal step catalyzed by the heterohexameric methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR). Over the last decade cultivation-independent studies have identified anaerobic methane-oxidizing archaea (ANME-1, 2 and 3) related methanogens that appear to run one or more canonical methanogenic pathways in reverse including the terminal step catalyzed by MCR. The three genes encoding MCR subunits, mcrA, mcrB and mcrG possess phylogenetic resolution similar to that of the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene making them useful functional markers for detection and differentiation of methanogenic and methane-oxidation pathways in natural and human engineered ecosystems. Here I introduce an automated and culture-independent method for monitoring the taxonomic structure and genomic potential of methane-cycling environments that leverages and improves upon an existing software package called MLTreeMap. MLTreeMap is a user-extensible software framework that automates maximum likelihood analysis to recover phylogenetic or functional marker genes from environmental sequence data. I first describe the taxonomic structure and pathway representation of methane-cycling environments on a global scale based on the identification of MCRA alleles. I then chart both the metabolic potential and gene expression of marine sediments supporting the anaerobic oxidation of CH₄ using a series of reference trees representing near complete methane-cycling pathways.
