description: The first stars to form in the universe may have been dark stars, powered by dark matter annihilation instead of nuclear fusion. The initial amount of dark matter gathered by the star gravitationally can sustain it only for a limited period of time. It has been suggested that capture of additional dark matter from the environment can prolong the dark star phase even to the present day. Here we show that this capture process is ineffective to prolong the life of the first generation of dark stars. We construct a Monte-Carlo simulation that follows each Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) in the dark matter halo as its orbit responds to the formation and evolution of the dark star, as it scatters off the star's nuclei, and as it annihilates inside the star. A rapid depletion of the WIMPs on orbits that cross the star causes the demise of the first generation of dark stars. We suggest that a second generation of dark stars may in principle survive much longer through capture. We comment on the effect of relaxing our assumptions.

Effect of substrate cooling and droplet shape and composition on the droplet evaporation and the deposition of particles
Creators: name: Bazargan, Vahid
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Sessile droplets are liquid droplets resting on a flat substrate. During the evaporation of small sessile droplets, the contact line of the droplet undergoes two different stages: pinned stage with fixed contact area and de-pinned stage with fixed contact angle. An evaporation with a pinned contact line produces a flow inside the droplet toward the contact line. This flow carries particles and deposits them near the contact line. This causes the commonly observed “coffee-ring” phenomenon. This thesis provides a study of the evaporation process and the evaporation-induced flow of sessile droplet and brings insights into the deposition of particles from colloidal suspensions. Here we first study the evaporation of small sessile droplets and discuss the importance of the thermal conductivity of the substrate on the evaporation process. We show how current evaporation models produce a significant error for droplet sizes below 500 μm. Furthermore, we study the evaporation of line droplets with finite sizes and discuss the complex behavior of the contact lines during evaporation. We apply an energy formulation and show that the contact line starts receding from the two ends of line droplets with a contact angle above the receding contact angle of spherical droplets. And then we show the evaporation-induced flow inside the line droplets. Finally, we discuss the behavior of the contact line under the presence of surfactant and discuss the Marangoni flow effects on the deposition of the particles. We show that the thermal Marangoni effect affects the amount of the particles deposited near the contact line, where a lower substrate temperature corresponds to a larger amount of particles depositing near the contact line.

description: We present new observations of two Galactic globular clusters, PAL4 and PAL14, using the Wide-Field Channel of the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) on board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and reanalyze archival data from a third, NGC2419. We matched our photometry of hundreds of stars in these fields from the ACS images to existing, ground-based photometry of faint sequences which were calibrated on the standard BVRI system of Landolt. These stars are significantly fainter than those generally used for HST calibration purposes, and therefore are much better matched to supporting precision photometry of ACS science targets. We were able to derive more accurate photometric transformation coefficients for the commonly used ACS broad-band filters compared to those published by Sirianni, et al. (2005), owing to the use of a factor of several more calibration stars which span a greater range of color. We find that the inferred transformations from each cluster individually do not vary significantly from the average, except for a small offset of the photometric zeropoint in the F850LP filter. Our results suggest that the published prescriptions for the time-dependent correction of CCD charge-transfer efficiency appear to work very well over the ~3.5 yr interval that spans our observations of PAL4 and PAL14 and the archived images of NGC2419.

description: The growing need to manage and exploit the proliferation of online data sources is opening up new opportunities for bringing people closer to the resources they need. For instance, consider a recommendation service through which researchers can receive daily pointers to journal papers in their fields of interest. We survey some of the known approaches to the problem of technical paper recommendation and ask how they can be extended to deal with multiple information sources. More specifically, we focus on a variant of this problem - recommending conference paper submissions to reviewing committee members - which offers us a testbed to try different approaches. Using WHIRL - an information integration system - we are able to implement different recommendation algorithms derived from information retrieval principles. We also use a novel autonomous procedure for gathering reviewer interest information from the Web. We evaluate our approach and compare it to other methods using preference data provided by members of the AAAI-98 conference reviewing committee along with data about the actual submissions.

description: A Wigner crystal formed with trapped ion can undergo structural phase transition, which is determined only by the mechanical conditions on a classical level. Instead of this classical result, we show that through consideration of quantum and thermal fluctuation, a structural phase transition can be solely driven by change of the system's temperature. We determine a finite-temperature phase diagram for trapped ions using the renormalization group method and the path integral formalism, and propose an experimental scheme to observe the predicted temperature-driven structural phase transition, which is well within the reach of the current ion trap technology.

Cardiac lipoprotein lipase function following diabetes is regulated by cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells
Creators: name: Wang, Ying
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: In diabetes, when glucose consumption is restricted, the heart adapts to use fatty acid (FA) exclusively. The majority of FA provided to the heart comes from breakdown of circulating triglyceride, a process catalyzed by lipoprotein lipase (LPL) located at the vascular lumen. Transfer of LPL from cardiomyocytes to the coronary lumen requires liberation of LPL from the myocyte surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) with subsequent replenishment of this reservoir. We examined the contribution of coronary endothelial cells (EC) and cardiomyocytes towards regulation of LPL function following diabetes. To induce acute hyperglycemia, diazoxide (DZ), a selective ATP-sensitive K+ channel opener was used. For chronic diabetes, streptozotocin (STZ), a β-cell specific toxin was administered at doses of 55 (D55) or 100 (D100) mg/kg to generate moderate and severe diabetes, respectively. Cardiac LPL processing into active dimers and breakdown at the vascular lumen was investigated. Following acute hyperglycemia and moderate diabetes, more LPL is processed into an active dimeric form, which involves the endoplasmic reticulum chaperone calnexin in cardiomyocytes. Severe diabetes results in increased conversion of LPL into inactive monomers at the vascular lumen, a process mediated by FA-induced expression of angiopoietin-like protein 4. On exposure of bovine coronary artery EC to high glucose, both latent and active heparanase were released into the medium, termed ECCM. ECCM liberated LPL from the myocyte surface, in addition to facilitating its replenishment. Of the two forms of heparanase secreted from EC in response to high glucose, active heparanase released LPL from the myocyte surface, whereas latent heparanase stimulated reloading of LPL from an intracellular pool via HSPG-mediated RhoA activation. Latent heparanase can be also taken up by cardiomyocytes, converted into active heparanase in lysosomes, and its nuclear entry likely to modulate gene expression. Results from this study advance our understanding of how the cross-talk between EC and cardiomyocytes facilitate LPL secretion and how diabetes influences coronary LPL maturation and turnover. Pharmaceutical manipulation of these pathways could potentially provide an additional strategy to limit FA delivery to the heart, and prevent cardiomyopathy seen with chronic diabetes.

description: The goal of this work is to analyze a model for the rate-independent evolution of sets with finite perimeter.  The evolution of the admissible sets is driven by that of a given time-dependent set, which has to include the admissible sets  and hence is to be understood as an external loading. The process is driven by the competition between  perimeter  minimization and minimization of volume changes.  In  the mathematical modeling of  this process, we  distinguish the adhesive case, in which the constraint that the  (complement of) the  `external load' contains the evolving sets is penalized by a  term contributing to the driving energy  functional, from the brittle case,  enforcing this  constraint.  The existence of Energetic solutions for the adhesive system is proved by passing to the limit in the associated  time-incremental minimization scheme. In the brittle case, this time-discretization procedure gives rise to evolving sets  satisfying the stability condition, but it remains an open problem to additionally deduce energy-dissipation balance  in the time-continuous limit.  This  can be obtained under some suitable quantification of data.   The properties of the brittle evolution law are illustrated by numerical examples in two space dimensions.

description: In this paper we continue the study started in part I (posted). We consider a planar, bounded, $m$-connected region $Ω$, and let $\bordΩ$ be its boundary. Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a cellular decomposition of $Ω\cup\bordΩ$, where each 2-cell is either a triangle or a quadrilateral. From these data and a conductance function we construct a canonical pair $(S,f)$ where $S$ is a special type of a (possibly immersed) genus $(m-1)$ singular flat surface, tiled by rectangles and $f$ is an energy preserving mapping from ${\mathcal T}^{(1)}$ onto $S$. In part I the solution of a Dirichlet problem defined on ${\mathcal T}^{(0)}$ was utilized, in this paper we employ the solution of a mixed Dirichlet-Neumann problem.

description: In this paper, we propose a new method of channel estimation for asynchronous additive white Gaussian noise channels in satellite communications. This method is based on signals correlation and multiuser interference cancellation which adopts a successive structure. Propagation delays and signals amplitudes are jointly estimated in order to be used for data detection at the receiver. As, a multiuser detector, a single stage successive interference cancellation (SIC) architecture is analyzed and integrated to the channel estimation technique and the whole system is evaluated. The satellite access method adopted is the direct sequence code division multiple access (DS CDMA) one. To evaluate the channel estimation and the detection technique, we have simulated a satellite uplink with an asynchronous multiuser access.

description: Systemic AA amyloidosis is a world-wide occurring protein misfolding disease in humans and animals that arises from the formation of amyloid fibrils from serum amyloid A (SAA) protein and their deposition in multiple organs. To identify new agents that prevent fibril formation from SAA protein and to determine their mode of action. We used a cell model for the formation of amyloid deposits from SAA protein to screen a library of peptides and small proteins, which were purified from human hemofiltrate. To clarify the inhibitory mechanism the obtained inhibitors were characterised in cell-free fibril formation assays and other biochemical methods. We identified lysozyme as an inhibitor of SAA fibril formation. Lysozyme antagonised fibril formation both in the cell model as well as in cell-free fibril formation assays. The protein binds SAA with a dissociation constant of 16.5 ± 0.6 µM, while the binding site on SAA is formed by segments of positively charged amino acids. Our data imply that lysozyme acts in a chaperone-like fashion and prevents the aggregation of SAA protein through direct, physical interactions.

A field investigation to study the response of buried polyethylene natural gas pipelines subjected to ground movement
Creators: name: Groves, Jeremy F.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The performance of buried natural gas pipelines located in areas prone to ground movement is a major concern for utility owners since the failures of such pipeline systems during service is extremely serious due to the potential for loss of life, as well as the associated environmental and economical impacts. With plastic pipes now the industry standard for most utility distribution systems (e.g., medium density polyethylene (MDPE) pipes for natural gas distribution), understanding the response of these extensible pipes when subjected to ground movements is an important consideration and critical for their integrity. Through previous research work conducted at the University of British Columbia (UBC) on the subject of extensible natural gas pipelines subject to relative ground movements, a new analytical model was developed to account for the soil-pipe interaction mechanisms for buried MDPE pipes. The new approach can be used to estimate the relative ground surface movements needed for pipe failure, which is an important consideration for evaluating the field-performance of pipe systems in areas prone to landslide movements. In order to further validate the new analytical model, a large-scale field-testing program was implemented that consists of five MDPE pipeline alignments buried at a site which is part of a slow-moving landslide. The pipelines were instrumented with over 200 strain gauges that provide pipe strain data induced due to continuing ground movements at the research site. Along with the pipe strain data, close monitoring of the system for overall pipe and ground surface movements is ongoing, and the collected information is expected to provide a reliable database of ground movement and associated pipe strain to further validate the new analytical model. Laboratory element-level testing was conducted to investigate the effects of strain gauge stiffening on local strain readings on the MDPE pipes used in this study. The results indicate that the strain gauge installation procedures used throughout this research have minimal stiffening effects on the pipes. In addition to implementing the field experiment, a framework for using the field data to predict the axial pipe strain for the pipes in this study using the new UBC model is presented.
Partial-Order Planning with Concurrent Interacting Actions

description: In order to generate plans for agents with multiple actuators, agent teams, or distributed controllers, we must be able to represent and plan using concurrent actions with interacting effects. This has historically been considered a challenging task requiring a temporal planner with the ability to reason explicitly about time. We show that with simple modifications, the STRIPS action representation language can be used to represent interacting actions. Moreover, algorithms for partial-order planning require only small modifications in order to be applied in such multiagent domains. We demonstrate this fact by developing a sound and complete partial-order planner for planning with concurrent interacting actions, POMP, that extends existing partial-order planners in a straightforward way. These results open the way to the use of partial-order planners for the centralized control of cooperative multiagent systems.

description: The optical conductivity of graphene strained uniaxially is studied within the Kubo-Greenwood formalism. Focusing on inter-band absorption, we analyze and quantify the breakdown of universal transparency in the visible region of the spectrum, and analytically characterize the transparency as a function of strain and polarization. Measuring transmittance as a function of incident polarization directly reflects the magnitude and direction of strain. Moreover, direction-dependent selection rules permit identification of the lattice orientation by monitoring the van-Hove transitions. These photoelastic effects in graphene can be explored towards atomically thin, broadband optical elements.

description: We apply the Wako-Saito-Munoz-Eaton model to the study of Myotrophin, a small ankyrin repeat protein, whose folding equilibrium and kinetics have been recently characterized experimentally. The model, which is a native-centric with binary variables, provides a finer microscopic detail than the Ising model, that has been recently applied to some different repeat proteins, while being still amenable for an exact solution. In partial agreement with the experiments, our results reveal a weakly three-state equilibrium and a two-state-like kinetics of the wild type protein despite the presence of a non-trivial free-energy profile. These features appear to be related to a careful "design" of the free-energy landscape, so that mutations can alter this picture, stabilizing some intermediates and changing the position of the rate-limiting step. Also the experimental findings of two alternative pathways, an N-terminal and a C-terminal one, are qualitatively confirmed, even if the variations in the rates upon the experimental mutations cannot be quantitatively reproduced. Interestingly, folding and unfolding pathway appear to be different, even if closely related: a property that is not generally considered in the phenomenological interpretation of the experimental data.

description: Domain-independent planning is a hard combinatorial problem. Taking into account plan quality makes the task even more difficult. This article introduces Planning by Rewriting (PbR), a new paradigm for efficient high-quality domain-independent planning. PbR exploits declarative plan-rewriting rules and efficient local search techniques to transform an easy-to-generate, but possibly suboptimal, initial plan into a high-quality plan. In addition to addressing the issues of planning efficiency and plan quality, this framework offers a new anytime planning algorithm. We have implemented this planner and applied it to several existing domains. The experimental results show that the PbR approach provides significant savings in planning effort while generating high-quality plans.
Organic matter accumulation in reclaimed soils beneath different vegetation types in the Athabasca oil sands
Creators: name: Anderson, Jeff
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: As of 2008, 60,234 ha of boreal forest had been disturbed by strip mining in the Athabasca Oil Sands in northern Alberta. Reclamation of this area is proceeding concurrently with mine operations, and 6,687 ha are considered to be reclaimed by industry (Hrudey et al. 2010). My study focused on understanding how vegetation planting prescriptions affect soil organic matter (SOM) accumulation in the mineral section of peat/mineral mix (PMM) reclaimed soils. SOM concentration is important in reclaimed soils, as it increases soil fertility and is directly related to site productivity (Farnden et al. 2013). Reclaimed sites which are not particularly wet or dry are planted with either deciduous or spruce trees, and in some cases, grasses. I assessed SOM accumulation, and its source, in different vegetation treatments. Three research questions were developed: (1) Does organic matter content of mineral soil differ between reclaimed and natural soils? (2) What are the dominant sources of organic matter accumulation in the mineral soil of each reclamation treatment? (3) Has SOM accumulated quickest in soils under replanted deciduous (Populus tremuloides/balsamifera), spruce (Picea glauca) or grasses? Seventeen sites were studied, 4 each of the reclaimed deciduous and grassland, 5 reclaimed spruce, and 4 natural forest analogues. At each site, vegetation, forest floor and soils were surveyed. In the laboratory, soil samples from four depths at each site were tested for several properties, including organic matter concentration. The SOM content of all reclaimed soils was significantly higher than the natural analogues. The mechanisms by which SOM accumulates differed for each vegetation treatment: dissolved organic matter and macrofaunal activity were the dominant sources of SOM in deciduous sites; root litter and macrofaunal activity were the dominant sources of SOM in the grassland sites; there was no sign of SOM accumulation at the spruce sites. SOM accumulated quickest in the deciduous sites, intermediate in the grassland sites, and not at all in the spruce sites.

description: This thesis suggests that SLEs may be considered as risk factors for OCS such as symmetry and hoarding symptoms and that these behaviours may elicit a sense of regaining control following exposure of SLEs and/or may reflect stress-induced neurocognitive disruptions involving dopaminergic, risk-related neurocircuitry. This evidence suggests that OCS may be a ‘window’ of opportunity and target for early interventions. Through informing more sensitive assessments for the early detection of risk and avenues to tailor interventions to target early risk, the current thesis adds to the broader field and mission of improving outcomes for individuals at-risk for OCD.

Как различные цвета воздействуют на человека и способны влиять на эмоциональный фон человека в повседневной жизни, в окружающей нас среде. Рассмотрение объективных, так и субъективных причин влияния. Также в ней рассматривается аспект воздействия цветов на человека в зависимости от историко-культурного фактора. Автор говорит о том, как важно при создании вещей, которые окружают человека повседневно, картины, утилитарные дизайнерские проекты, понимать гармонию цветовых сочетаний для достижения хорошего воздействия на потребителя того или иного товара. Соответственно автор считает, что в будущем введение в учебный процесс цветопсихологии для студентов-дизайнеров может стать предпосылкой не только к креативу и творческому потоку, но и идеям, как помогать людям корректировать свое настроение, что поможет в дальнейшем рассматривать творческие профессии по-новому.

description: We report measurements of macroscopic resonant tunneling between the two lowest energy states of a pair of magnetically coupled rf-SQUID flux qubits. This technique provides a direct means of observing two-qubit dynamics and a probe of the environment coupled to the pair of qubits. Measurements of the tunneling rate as a function of qubit flux bias show a Gaussian line shape that is well matched to theoretical predictions. Moreover, the peak widths indicate that each qubit is coupled to a local environment whose fluctuations are uncorrelated with that of the other qubit.

La mano del saggista. W. H. Auden tra saggio e poesia
Creators: name: Bugliani, Paolo
Publisher: name: Centro Studi Arti della Modernità | Università degli Studi di Torino

Subjects: W.H. Auden, saggio, critica letteraria

description: This essay aims at assessing three longer poems 1940s by W. H. Auden’s, in which the author manages to insert his personal reflection about some critical issues, mainly that of the mimetic rapport between Art and World, either into the canonical poetic structure of the literary epistle (Letter to Lord Byron, New Year Letter) or in a very peculiar hybrid of drama and poetry (The Sea and The Mirror)

 Notes. ‒ The protologue of Myrtus gomononensis included two syntypes (Guillaumin, 1939); Vieillard 2615 is chosen over Vieillard 2650 because the other syntype was not found at P. Burret (1941: 493) made combinations for both Uromyrtus Burret and Austromyrtus Burret, reflecting his uncertainty into which genus the taxon ultimately should be placed.

Scaling analysis of Kondo screening cloud in a mesoscopic ring with an embedded quantum dot

description: The Kondo effect is theoretically studied in a quantum dot embedded in a mesoscopic ring. The ring is connected to two external leads, which enables the transport measurement. Using the "poor man's" scaling method, we obtain analytical expressions of the Kondo temperature T_K as a function of the Aharonov-Bohm phase ϕby the magnetic flux penetrating the ring. In this Kondo problem, there are two characteristic lengths. One is the screening length of the charge fluctuation, L_c=\hbar v_F/ |ε_0|, where v_F is the Fermi velocity and ε_0 is the energy level in the quantum dot. The other is the screening length of spin fluctuation, i.e., size of Kondo screening cloud, L_K=\hbar v_F/ T_K. We obtain different expressions of T_K(ϕ) for (i) L_c \ll L_K \ll L, (ii) L_c \ll L \ll L_K, and (iii) L \ll L_c \ll L_K, where L is the size of the ring. T_K is markedly modulated by ϕin cases (ii) and (iii), whereas it hardly depends on ϕin case (i). We also derive logarithmic corrections to the conductance at temperature T\gg T_K and an analytical expression of the conductance at T\ll T_K, on the basis of the scaling analysis.

“Mandate of Eros”: The Disease of Love in Eliot, Pound, and British Psychology
Creators: name: Forman, John Rhett
Publisher: name: Centro Studi Arti della Modernità | Università degli Studi di Torino
Year: 2018

description: T. S. Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” and Ezra Pound’s Hugh Selwyn Mauberley constitute studies in the paradoxically arresting and motivating power of erotic love and its relation to impotent and creative verse. While love paralyzes Eliot’s Prufrock, Pound uses the voice of Mauberley to both illustrate and overcome the paradoxical nature of love in order to give birth to a fertile poetics after his earlier frustrated attempts. Though the voices of Prufrock and Mauberley share similarities, I argue that we ought not conflate Eliot’s and Pound’s poetics. Instead, a clear difference arises between the two when considering the British integral school of psychology that influenced Eliot’s and Pound’s early work during their years in England. Applying the work of one of the members of this school, William Brown, to Eliot’s and Pound’s poetry reveals that “Prufrock” instantiates a poetics of pathological passionate love, whereas Mauberley achieves a poetry of what Brown calls the “divine” affection of love over and against the passionate love prevalent in modernity.

description: Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) have recently become popular among many AI researchers because they serve as a natural model for planning under uncertainty. Value iteration is a well-known algorithm for finding optimal policies for POMDPs. It typically takes a large number of iterations to converge. This paper proposes a method for accelerating the convergence of value iteration. The method has been evaluated on an array of benchmark problems and was found to be very effective: It enabled value iteration to converge after only a few iterations on all the test problems.
Conformant Planning via Symbolic Model Checking

description: We tackle the problem of planning in nondeterministic domains, by presenting a new approach to conformant planning. Conformant planning is the problem of finding a sequence of actions that is guaranteed to achieve the goal despite the nondeterminism of the domain. Our approach is based on the representation of the planning domain as a finite state automaton. We use Symbolic Model Checking techniques, in particular Binary Decision Diagrams, to compactly represent and efficiently search the automaton. In this paper we make the following contributions. First, we present a general planning algorithm for conformant planning, which applies to fully nondeterministic domains, with uncertainty in the initial condition and in action effects. The algorithm is based on a breadth-first, backward search, and returns conformant plans of minimal length, if a solution to the planning problem exists, otherwise it terminates concluding that the problem admits no conformant solution. Second, we provide a symbolic representation of the search space based on Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs), which is the basis for search techniques derived from symbolic model checking. The symbolic representation makes it possible to analyze potentially large sets of states and transitions in a single computation step, thus providing for an efficient implementation. Third, we present CMBP (Conformant Model Based Planner), an efficient implementation of the data structures and algorithm described above, directly based on BDD manipulations, which allows for a compact representation of the search layers and an efficient implementation of the search steps. Finally, we present an experimental comparison of our approach with the state-of-the-art conformant planners CGP, QBFPLAN and GPT. Our analysis includes all the planning problems from the distribution packages of these systems, plus other problems defined to stress a number of specific factors. Our approach appears to be the most effective: CMBP is strictly more expressive than QBFPLAN and CGP and, in all the problems where a comparison is possible, CMBP outperforms its competitors, sometimes by orders of magnitude.

 Notes. ‒ The three syntypes mentioned in the protologue for Eugenia horizontalis are represented by six sheets at P. Although the selected lectotype, Vieillard 512, has limited flowering material, it is representative of the species.
 The holotype of Myrtus aemulans has been destroyed at B and the isotype at P is here designated as the lectotype.
 As currently recognized, Eugenia horizontalis has glabrous, more or less pendulous flowers arising from elongated, slender pedicels. The species is restricted to the leeward side of New Caledonia in the southcentral part of the island in sclerophyllous forest or maquis. It is one of several species with significantly reduced flowers and leaves.
