description: We present accurate results for optical conductivity of the three dimensional Frohlich polaron in all coupling regimes. The systematic-error free diagrammatic quantum Monte Carlo method is employed where the Feynman graphs for the momentum-momentum correlation function in imaginary time are summed up. The real-frequency optical conductivity is obtained by the analytic continuation with stochastic optimization. We compare numerical data with available perturbative and non-perturbative approaches to the optical conductivity and show that the picture of sharp resonances due to relaxed excited states in the strong coupling regime is ``washed out''by large broadening of these states. As a result, the spectrum contains only a single-maximum broad peak with peculiar shape and a shoulder.

description: In 1988, the Environmental Protection Agency administratively adopted a negligible risk or de minimis standard for registering pesticide uses in agriculture. The de minimis standard provides opportunity to lower the carcinogenic risk from pesticide residues in food. By providing a market for negligible risk pesticides, the new standard will likely allow reduction in use of the more hazardous compounds. Further, the new standard could lower food production costs if fewer uses of currently registered pesticides are banned. However, the agency's lack of data and safety margin procedures can potentially result in underestimates or overestimates of tumor risk. This report is based on papers and discussions at a Southern Agricultural Economics Association symposium in New Orleans in 1988.

description: We present SKIRT (Stellar Kinematics Including Radiative Transfer), a new Monte Carlo radiative transfer code that allows the calculation of the observed stellar kinematics of a dusty galaxy. The code incorporates the effects of both absorption and scattering by interstellar dust grains, and calculates the Doppler shift of the emerging radiation exactly by taking into account the velocities of the emitting stars and the individual scattering dust grains. The code supports arbitrary distributions of dust through a cellular approach, whereby the integration through the dust is optimized by means of a novel efficient trilinear interpolation technique. We apply our modelling technique to calculate the observed kinematics of realistic models for dusty disc galaxies. We find that the effects of dust on the mean projected velocity and projected velocity dispersion are severe for edge-on galaxies. For galaxies which deviate more than a few degrees from exactly edge-on, the effects are already strongly reduced. As a consequence, dust attenuation cannot serve as a possible way to reconcile the discrepancy between the observed shallow slopes of the inner rotation curves of LSB galaxies and the predictions of CDM cosmological models. For face-on galaxies, the velocity dispersion increases with increasing dust mass due to scattering, but the effects are limited, even for extended dust distributions. Finally, we show that serious errors can be made when the individual velocities of the dust grains are neglected in the calculations.

We perform the computations in both the open and closed channels. We also consider the partial thermodynamic limits, whereby in the open (closed) channel, the open (closed) direction is kept small while the other direction becomes large. We compute the zeros of the partition function in the two partial thermodynamic limits, and compare with the condensation curves.

nêhiyawak Networks: Native Perspectives of Digital Connectivity
Creators: Steinhauer-Mozejko, Phil
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2024

This Capstone explores the intersection and interplay between Indigenous Peoples and digital connectivity, as observed by citizens of Saddle Lake Cree Nation. Through a combination of autoethnography, Indigenous research methodology (IRM), and a braided framework that integrates critical theory and a postmodernist orientation with a nêhiyâw epistemology, this study interrogates and highlights the concurrent challenges, opportunities, ambiguities and complexities which digital connectivity uniquely present for Indigenous communities. Social and cultural impacts and implications of digital connectivity vis-à-vis Indigenous Peoples, and vice versa are, are investigated. The research unpacks the concepts of digital equity, digital inclusion, and digital sovereignty via a critique of the neoliberal language and ideology of human rights and recognition-based frameworks undergirding them. Findings suggest that while digital connectivity offers potential benefits for Indigenous cultures, economies, community welfare, and political mobilization, it also presents significant challenges related to maintaining sovereignty and distinct cultural integrities in a rapidly globalizing world. This work contributes to ongoing discourses concerning the holistic impacts and implications of digital connectivity with Indigenous Peoples. It offers a nuanced perspective on the ways Indigenous communities are leveraging digital technologies while grappling with real and potential threats to autonomy, culture, and self-determination.

A Limit from the X-ray Background on the Contribution of Quasars to Reionization

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: A population of black holes (BHs) at high redshifts (z>6) that contributes significantly to the ionization of the intergalactic medium (IGM) would be accompanied by the copious production of hard (>10keV) X-ray photons. The resulting hard X-ray background would redshift and be observed as a present-day soft X-ray background (SXB). Under the hypothesis that BHs are the main producers of reionizing photons in the high-redshift universe, we calculate their contribution to the present-day SXB. Our results, when compared to the unresolved component of the SXB in the range 0.5-2 keV, suggest that accreting BHs (be it luminous quasars or their lower-mass ``miniquasar'' counterparts) did not dominate reionization. Distant miniquasars that produce enough X-rays to only partially ionize the IGM to a level of at most 50% are still allowed, but could be severely constrained by improved determinations of the unresolved component of the SXB.

description: The aim of this paper is to analyze the connectedness between renewable energy (RE) sectors, the oil & gas sector and other assets using time-scale spillover approach. We find that the RE bioenergy firms are the most connected to oil & gas firms and oil prices. The bond market transmits spillover to the RE sectors, while it receives spillover from the oil & gas sector. Moreover, short-run connectedness drives the dynamic total connectedness. Since changes in bond rates mainly spillover to RE firms and not to oil & gas firms, policy makers should also be aware that changes in interest rates may impact the societal transition to a RE based energy system. Since a shock that increases connectedness in the short run will deter investors from investing in RE assets, it is important for climate policy makers to develop policies that reduce the effect of increased connectedness on RE investments.

description: We present a new formalism to obtain momentum distributions in condensed matter from Neutron Compton Profiles measured by the Deep Inelastic Neutron Scattering technique. The formalism describes exactly the Neutron Compton Profiles as an integral in the momentum variable $y$. As a result we obtain a Volterra equation of the first kind that relates the experimentally measured magnitude with the momentum distributions of the nuclei in the sample. The integration kernel is related with the incident neutron spectrum, the total cross section of the filter analyzer and the detectors efficiency function. A comparison of the present formalism with the customarily employed approximation based on a convolution of the momentum distribution with a resolution function is presented. We describe the inaccuracies that the use of this approximation produces, and propose a new data treatment procedure based on the present formalism.

description: Initial state evolution in parton shower event generators involves parton distribution functions. We examine the probability for the system to evolve from a higher scale to a lower scale without an initial state splitting. A simple argument suggests that this probability, when multiplied by the ratio of the parton distributions at the two scales, should be independent of the parton distribution functions. We call this the PDF property. We examine whether the PDF property actually holds using Pythia and Deductor. We also test a related property for the Deductor shower and discuss the physics behind the results.

description: We investigate the lifetime of macroscopic entanglement under the influence of decoherence. For GHZ-type superposition states we find that the lifetime decreases with the size of the system (i.e. the number of independent degrees of freedom) and the effective number of subsystems that remain entangled decreases with time. For a class of other states (e.g. cluster states), however, we show that the lifetime of entanglement is independent of the size of the system.

description: Longitudinal data suffer from the same statistical problems as cross-sectional data. True estimates of means and sums require adjustments for sampling rates or, in the case of census data, nonresponse rates. Whereas in cross-sectional data the standard method of adjustment is the attachment of weights to individual observations, this method does not work in the case of transition matrices calculated from longitudinal data. The reason for this is the unavoidable misclassification of farms as exiters, entrants, and continuers that arises from nonresponse. The method presented here offers a simple algorithm based on four assumptions for making the necessary correction. The algorithm is easily implemented with standard spreadsheet software.

description: The complex interaction of ecological and social systems has shaped the cities through the time. This fosters the need to develop interdisciplinary approaches to urban issues by combining natural and social sciences. Cities, as the predominant mode of social organization, are vulnerable to social and environmental challenges which urban green spaces (UGS) can contribute to solve by the ecosystem services (ES) that can provide. The objective was to assess the quality of UGS framed by the ES classification and relate with the provision of these services in areas of distinct socioeconomic and environmental deprivation. An evaluation grid was applied in 25 UGS in the city of Porto. Socioeconomic and environmental deprivation index applied by the Porto City Hall in the Municipal Master plan to divide the city into 5 clusters of deprivation was used to select 5 UGS of each cluster. In the most deprived communities, namely in clusters of high and very high socioeconomic and environmental deprivation, the quality of UGS is lower than in the less vulnerable ones. Besides this, it was found that some UGS located in clusters with higher vulnerability have an overall good quality, namely those located in historic and touristic areas of the city. The evaluation grid may be useful to the local authorities to diagnose, monitor and evaluate the ES of UGS and to identify situations of environmental injustice contributing to pursue the implementation of sustainable development goals at a local level.

description: This paper summarizes the research on the epidemiology of low birth weight (LBW) births focusing on the evidence about disparities in low birth weight for Black infants in the US. Studies have continually shown that Black mothers and their infants are at higher risk for pregnancy-related complications such as LBW. LBW, a leading cause of infant death for this racial group, is associated with a multitude of risk factors, with the major two dimensions being health status and health care. Evidence suggests that the accumulation of chronic stress over a lifetime culminates in health problems for Black women, thus leading to the conditions for LBW to occur. There is growing acceptance of the context of societal and systemic racism that creates a toxic and harmful environment for Black mothers and how this results in physiological stress that directly causes infant and maternal mortality. Although racial disparities in low birth weight are widely known in the medical community, prevention requires addressing the harmful social conditions that underlie these inequitable outcomes. This paper focuses on the way in which Black women and infants are disproportionately burdened with the effects of LBW. It concludes by discussing how changes can, with careful consideration and implementation, drive efforts to protect the Black infants and mothers as part of a holistic, patient-centered approach.

description: We consider Brownian motion under resetting in higher dimensions for the case when the return of the particle to the origin occurs at a constant speed. We investigate the behavior of the probability density function (PDF) and of the mean-squared displacement (MSD) in this process. We study two different resetting protocols: exponentially distributed time intervals between the resetting events (Poissonian resetting) and resetting at fixed time intervals (deterministic resetting). We moreover discuss a general problem of the invariance of the PDF with respect to the return speed, as observed in the one-dimensional system for Poissonian resetting, and show, that this one dimensional situation is the only one in which such an invariance can be found. However, the invariance of the MSD can still be observed in higher dimensions.

title: Cellular mechanisms underlying the ACE inhibitor capacity to stimulate kidney self-repair
Creators: name: Rizzo, Paola
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2014

description: Bowman's capsule parietal epithelial cell activation occurs in several human proliferative glomerulonephritides. The cellular composition of the resulting crescentic lesions is controversial, although a population of renal progenitor cells, which in adult healthy kidney contributes to the physiological cell turnover, has been proposed to be a major constituent. In this study we try to get light in to the mediators involved in the aberrant progenitor cell proliferation and migration in to the Bowman's space, which occurs in presence of an extended glomerular injury.

 To this aim, we studied 36 renal biopsies of patients with proliferative and non proliferative glomerulopathies. In parallel, we also analyzed the Munich Wistar Fromter rats with proliferative glomerulonephritis, characterizing for the first time a population of renal progenitor cells also in rodents. W demonstrated that dysregulated progenitor cells of the Bowman's capsule invade the glomerular tuft exclusively in proliferative disorders. In both humans and rats, up-regulation of the CXCR4 chemokine receptor on progenitor cells was accompanied by high expression of its ligand, stromal-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) in podocytes. Parietal epithelial cell proliferation might be sustained by increased expression of the angiotensinII type1 (AT1) receptor. Treatment with the antihypertensive drug angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, reduces the number and the extension of crescents, limiting progenitor cell proliferation and migration. Moreover, ACE inhibitor normalized the expression of CXCR4, SDF-1 and AT1 receptor on progenitor cells.

 These results suggest that glomerular crescents derive from the proliferation and migration of renal progenitors in response to injured podocytes. The SDF-1/CXCR4 axis, together with the AngII/AT1 receptor pathway, contributes to the dysregulated response of renal progenitors. Targeting the AngII/AT1/CXCR4 pathway may be beneficial in severe forms of glomerular proliferative disorders.

description: Hardening of cosmic proton- and nuclei-spectra is explained by using the gluon condensation (GC) model, which states that a large amount of gluons in proton may condense near the high energy threshold. The results present the GC-effect as common origin of a series of anomalous astrophysical phenomena including the broken power-law in gamma-ray spectra, the excess in positron- and electron-spectra and hardening of proton- and nuclei-spectra.

description: We present a Bayesian hierarchical framework for a principled data analysis pipeline of peculiar velocity surveys, which makes explicit the inference problem of constraining cosmological parameters from redshift-independent distance indicators. We demonstrate our method for a Fundamental Plane-based survey. The essence of our approach is to work closely with observables (e.g. angular size, surface brightness, redshift, etc), through which we bypass the use of summary statistics by working with the probability distributions. The hierarchical approach improves upon the usual analysis in several ways. In particular, it allows a consistent analysis without having to make prior assumptions about cosmology during the calibration phase. Moreover, calibration uncertainties are correctly accounted for in parameter estimation. Results are presented for a new, fully analytic posterior marginalised over all latent variables, which we expect to allow for more principled analyses in upcoming surveys. A maximum a posteriori estimator is also given for peculiar velocities derived from Fundamental Plane data.

description: We use infrared Color Magnitude Diagrams from the 2-Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) to search for stars belonging to the tidal stream of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy (Sgr dSph) around selected Galactic globular clusters. Statistically significant detections are presented for the cases of Pal 12 and NGC 4147, strongly supporting the idea that these clusters are associated with the Sgr Stream and that they were previous members of the Sgr dSph galaxy.

title: Populations in the Kepler field
Creators: name: Farmer, Robert
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2014

description: Using a population synthesis model I have created a synthetic catalogue of stars in the Kepler field of view. This model has then been subjected to the same biases and selection effects inherent in the selection of stars for the Kepler transit survey mission. This produced a synthetic Kepler Input Catalogue (KIC) which was subjected to the Kepler Stellar Classification Program (SCP) method for determining stellar parameters. I achieve a satisfactory match between the synthetic KIC and the real KIC in the logg vs log Teff diagram. I find a median difference of ΔTeff = +500 K and ~ Δlogg = -0.2 dex for main sequence stars, although there is a large variation across parameter space. I find no significant difference between ΔTeff and Δlogg for single stars and the primary star in a binary system. I also re-created the Kepler target selection method and found that the binary fraction is unchanged by the target selection. The fraction of main sequence stars in the sample increases from 75% to 80%, and the giant star fraction decreases from 25% to 20%. I have then used the synthetic KIC to build a of synthetic sample of eclipsing binaries (EBs) in the Kepler field. Comparing the synthetic catalogue to the Kepler EB catalogue I find that the Kepler EB pipeline introduces significant biases into the derived temperature ratio and fractional radii. I then tested the effect of different initial mass ratio distributions (IMRDs) and initial binary fraction distributions (IBFDs). At this time, all distributions fail to match the data, such that their parameters can not be constrained. Modelling the population of asteroseismic binaries, where both stars have a detectable asteroseismic signal, have shown a way to constrain the IMRD for equal mass systems. This method is independent of the binary period and orbital orientation. The number of detectable asteroseismic binaries increases from 87 for the IMR parameter s = -0.5 to 256 for s = 1.0. The number of detectable asteroseismic EBs increases from 34.0 ± 6.0 (s = -0.5) to 59.0 ± 6.0 (s = 1.0). This number shows disagreement with the number of actual systems detected (2 for Porb < 40 days), which can not be explained by incompleteness alone.

 Remarks: Broun did not mention the number of specimens examined. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype and paralectotype are here designated from the material of Coxelus thoracicus. There is an additional specimen (card-mounted venter-up) in the BMNH Broun collection that matches the type locality, but we do not consider this to be a syntype because Broun’s determination label identifies it as a variety of C. thoracicus. Additionally, the locality label is handwritten rather than typed, as is the case with the lectotype (BMNH) and paralectotype (MNHN).

description: We investigate the hadron production from the vortical quark-gluon plasma created in heavy-ion collisions. Based on the quark-coalescence and statistical hadronization models, we show that total hadron yields summed over the spin components are enhanced by the local vorticity with quadratic dependence. The enhancement factor amounts to be a few percent and may be detectable within current experimental sensitivities. We also show that the effect is stronger for hadrons with larger spin, and thus propose a new signature of the local vorticity, which may be detected by the yield ratio of distinct hadron species having different spins such as $ϕ$ and $η'$. The vorticity dependence of hadron yields seems robust, with consistent predictions in both of the hadron production mechanisms for reasonable values of the vorticity strength estimated for heavy-ion collisions.

description: En la planeación estratégica del territorio, el cambio de uso de suelo para impulsar un proyecto empresarial implica la necesidad de contrastar los beneficios de conservar el entorno natural respecto a los proyectos empresariales. El trabajo analiza el caso del manglar del Malecón de Tajamar. El objetivo de esta investigación fue comparar el monto de los valores a obtenerse con la conservación o el cambio del uso de suelo. En el contexto del análisis regional se utilizó la transferencia de beneficios también llamada transferencia de resultados, una metodología derivada de la economía ambiental. El resultado principal es que a corto plazo, el desmonte del manglar genera mayores utilidades, pero a largo plazo la conservación del área natural ofrece más recursos económicos. Se concluye que el mantenimiento del ecosistema beneficia a un número mayor de personas en el presente y a largo plazo, y al desarrollo sostenible de la región.

AbstractAtezolizumab (Tecentriq®), an immune checkpoint inhibitor against programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1), is the first immunotherapy agent to be approved (for use in combination with nab-paclitaxel) in the USA, the EU (as first-line) and Japan for the treatment of advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Approval was based on the results of the phase III IMpassion130 trial in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic TNBC, in which atezolizumab plus nab-paclitaxel significantly prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) when compared to placebo plus nab-paclitaxel in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population and the PD-L1+ subgroup. Statistically significant overall survival (OS) benefits were not seen in two interim analyses and final OS data are awaited. The tolerability and safety profile of atezolizumab plus nab-paclitaxel was consistent with those of each individual drug. The most common treatment-related adverse events included neutropenia, peripheral neuropathy and reduced neutrophil count. Adverse events of special interest occurred with higher frequency in patients who received atezolizumab plus nab-paclitaxel than placebo plus nab-paclitaxel, and were mostly immune-related (e.g. immune-related rash, hypothyroidism and hepatitis). Health-related quality of life was not significantly impacted by the addition of atezolizumab to nab-paclitaxel therapy. Thus, atezolizumab plus nab-paclitaxel is a useful immunochemotherapy option for patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic TNBC, including those whose tumours have PD-L1 expression ≥ 1%.
