From athlete's head impacts to toddler-parent interactions : novel applications of EEG
Creators: name: Sattari, Sahar
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: This thesis consists of two studies exploring novel applications of electroencephalography (EEG). The first study investigated the potential of blink-related oscillations (BRO) as indicators of subtle neural changes due to subconcussive head impacts in female collegiate soccer athletes, using resting state EEG data. Results indicated decreased peak-to-peak amplitude response over the left parietal region and altered spectral power in the delta and alpha frequency range in these athletes compared to those involved in non-contact sports. Moreover, a strong linear relationship was found between increased delta and beta power over central parietal channels and the number of headers sustained during a season of play and practice. The second study, a pilot study, used hyperscanning EEG to investigate the neural synchrony between parents and toddlers during various interactions. Two methodologies were utilized for measurement of concurrent and causal relationship between neural oscillations including phase locking value (PLV) and Liang’s information flow. Notably, free play was found to enhance mother-child brain-to-brain synchrony, and a trend suggested a positive correlation between time progression and increased synchrony. Furthermore, dynamic changes in connectivity were observed across different frequency ranges during interactions, particularly in higher alpha and lower theta frequencies. Together, these studies underscore the potential of EEG as a tool for understanding the subtle and dynamic changes in brain activity linked to physical impact and social interaction.

description: The Au25(SR)18- cluster is a new member in the superatom family which features a centered icosahedral shell (Au13) protected by six RS(AuSR)2 motifs (RS- being a alkylthiolate group). Here we show that this superatom can be magnetically doped by replacing the center Au atom with Cr, Mn, or Fe. We find that Cr and Mn-doped clusters have an optimized magnetic moment of 5 Bohr magnetons while the Fe-doped cluster has an optimized magnetic moment of 3 Bohr magnetons. Although the dopant atom's local magnetic moment makes a major contribution to the total moment, the icosahedral Au12 shell is also found to be significantly magnetized. Our work here provides a new scenario of magnetic doping of a metal-cluster superatom which is protected by ligands and made by wet chemistry.

description: Deforestation is a major threat to biodiversity worldwide, especially in Southeast Asia. In western Thailand, reptiles are an important part of tropical rainforest ecosystems and karst forests. However, basic ecological studies of many species are largely lacking. Therefore, we studied two sympatric gecko species, Cyrtodactylus saiyok and C. tigroides, that inhabit karst forests and are restricted to western Thailand. We investigated the habitat variables that affect their abundance and body condition in Kanchanaburi Province in western Thailand. We found that the abundance of C. saiyok increased with increasing plant density and decreasing canopy cover. For both study species, body condition was positively correlated with canopy cover. The two species differed in their microhabitat use, and C. tigroides prefers more karst outcrops and stays higher above the ground. Our findings highlight the importance of an intact forest structure for the survival of geckos and thus reiterates that it is crucial to conserve karst forests in Southeast Asia.

description: Purpose: To assess the contemporary prevalence of trachoma in Brazil’s non-indigenous population, surveys of those thought to be at greatest risk of disease were conducted. Methods: Rural census tracts of non-indigenous population from nine mesoregions were selected to compose the survey evaluation units (EUs) by considering previously endemic municipalities at greatest risk of trachoma. In each of the nine EUs, we conducted a population-based prevalence survey. Every resident of selected households aged ≥1 year was examined for trachomatous inflammation — follicular (TF) and trachomatous trichiasis (TT). Additionally, data were collected on household-level access to water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH) and education. Results: A total of 27,962 individuals were examined across nine EUs. The age-adjusted TF prevalence in 1–9-year-olds was <5% in each EU. The age- and gender-adjusted prevalence of TT unknown to the health system in ≥15-year-olds was <0.2% in eight EUs; in one EU, it was 0.22%. The median number of households surveyed per EU with access to an improved drinking water source within a 30-minute roundtrip of the house was 66%. School attendance was >99% of surveyed children. Conclusions: The prevalence of TF was well below the target for elimination as a public health problem in all EUs. Because EUs surveyed were selected to represent the highest-risk non-indigenous areas of the country, TF prevalence is unlikely to be ≥5% in non-indigenous populations elsewhere. In one EU, the prevalence of TT was above the target threshold for elimination. Further investigation and possibly improvement in TT surgical provision are required in that EU.

description: In this paper, we revisit the connection between the Riemann-Roch theorem and the zero energy solutions of the two-dimensional Dirac equation in the presence of a delta-function like magnetic field. Our main result is the resolution of a paradox - the fact that the Riemann-Roch theorem correctly predicts the number of zero energy solutions of the Dirac equation despite counting what seems to be the wrong type of functions.

description: To determine the prevalence of trachomatous inflammation—follicular (TF), trachomatous trichiasis (TT), water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) access in 131 evaluation units (EUs) after implementation of trachoma elimination interventions in Oromia Region, Ethiopia. A population-based cross-sectional survey was conducted in each EU using the World Health Organization-recommended two-stage cluster-sampling methodology. Twenty-six clusters, each with a mean of 30 households were enumerated in each EU. All residents aged ≥1 year in selected households were examined for TF and TT. Information on WASH access in surveyed households was also collected through questioning the household head and direct observation. A total of 419,858 individuals were enumerated in 131 EUs, of whom 396,134 (94%) were examined, 54% being female. Age-adjusted EU-level prevalence of TF in children aged 1–9 years ranged from 0.15% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.0–0.4) to 37.5% (95% CI: 31.1–43.7). The TF prevalence was <5% in 73/131 (56%) EUs. The EU-level age- and gender-adjusted prevalence of TT unknown to the health system among people aged ≥15 years ranged from 0.001% (95% CI: 0.00–0.02) to 2.2% (95% CI: 1.1–3.1) with 37/131 (28%) EUs having a prevalence <0.2%. Only 48% of all households surveyed had access to improved water sources for drinking. Approximately 96% of households did not have an improved latrine. Oromia is on the path towards elimination of trachoma as a public health problem.

description: Objectives: Motor neurone disease (MND) is a progressive, life-limiting illness. Caregiving impacts greatly on family carers with few supportive interventions for carers. We report Stages 1 and 2 of a study to: (1) explore experiences of MND caregiving and use carer-identified support needs to determine suitability and acceptability of the Carer Support Needs Assessment Tool (CSNAT), (2) adapt the CSNAT as necessary for comprehensive assessment and support of MND carers, prior to (Stage 3) feasibility testing. Design: Qualitative: focus groups, interviews and carer workshops. Setting: Three UK MND specialist centres serving a wide range of areas. Participants: Stage 1: 33 carers, 11 from each site: 19 current carers, 14 bereaved. Stage 2: 19 carer advisors: 10 bereaved, 9 current carers. Majority were spouses/partners ranging in age from under 45 years to over 75 years. Duration of caring: 4 months to 12.5 years. Results: Carers described challenges of a disease that was terminal from the outset, of ‘chasing’ progressive deterioration, trying to balance normality and patient independence against growing dependence, and intensive involvement in caregiving. Carers had extensive support needs which could be mapped to existing CSNAT domains: both ‘enabling’ domains which identify carers’ needs as co-workers as well as carers’ ‘direct’ needs as clients in relation to their own health and well-being. Only one aspect of their caregiving experience went beyond existing domains: a new domain on support needs with relationship changes was identified to tailor the CSNAT better to MND carers. Conclusions: Carers of people with MND found the adapted CSNAT to be an appropriate and relevant tool for assessment of their support needs. The revised version has potential for assessment of carers in other longer-term caring contexts. A further paper will report the Stage 3 study on feasibility of using the adapted CSNAT in routine practice.

description: In past decades a lot of progress has been made towards understanding the main s-process component that takes place in thermally pulsing Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars. During this process about half of the heavy elements, mainly between 90<=A<=209 are synthesized. Improvements were made in stellar modeling as well as in measuring relevant nuclear data for a better description of the main s process. The weak s process, which contributes to the production of lighter nuclei in the mass range 56<=A<=90 operates in massive stars (M>=8Msolar) and is much less understood. A better characterization of the weak s component would help disentangle the various contributions to element production in this region. For this purpose, a series of measurements of neutron-capture cross sections have been performed on medium-mass nuclei at the 3.7-MV Van de Graaff accelerator at FZK using the activation method. Also, neutron captures on abundant light elements with A<56 play an important role for s-process nucleosynthesis, since they act as neutron poisons and affect the stellar neutron balance. New results are presented for the (n,g) cross sections of 41K and 45Sc, and revisions are reported for a number of cross sections based on improved spectroscopic information.

description: This well-constructed paper describes a situation which is fairly common in the care of young people with disabilities; namely that even in a caring environment, there can be a tendency for these young people to be viewed as a homogeneous group with shared characteristics, rather than as individuals in their own right. As was the case with Lizzy, this can result in important issues being overlooked.
Energy Optimal Transmission Scheduling in Wireless Sensor Networks

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Networking and Internet Architecture (cs.NI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: One of the main issues in the design of sensor networks is energy efficient communication of time-critical data. Energy wastage can be caused by failed packet transmission attempts at each node due to channel dynamics and interference. Therefore transmission control techniques that are unaware of the channel dynamics can lead to suboptimal channel use patterns. In this paper we propose a transmission controller that utilizes different "grades" of channel side information to schedule packet transmissions in an optimal way, while meeting a deadline constraint for all packets waiting in the transmission queue. The wireless channel is modeled as a finite-state Markov channel. We are specifically interested in the case where the transmitter has low-grade channel side information that can be obtained based solely on the ACK/NAK sequence for the previous transmissions. Our scheduler is readily implementable and it is based on the dynamic programming solution to the finite-horizon transmission control problem. We also calculate the information theoretic capacity of the finite state Markov channel with feedback containing different grades of channel side information including that, obtained through the ACK/NAK sequence. We illustrate that our scheduler achieves a given throughput at a power level that is fairly close to the fundamental limit achievable over the channel.

title: Ten principles of residential child care
Creators: name: Gharabaghi, Kiaras
Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde

description: The history of residential care for children and young people is quite extensive and features positive stories of resilience and adult-child relationships as well as negative stories of institutional abuse and the abdication of adult responsibility (Coldrey, 2001; Sen et al., 2008). Residential child care has manifested itself in many different ways over the past century. We have accounts of orphanages in Europe, residential schools for aboriginal children in Canada and settlement homes for the children of immigrant families in the United States (Addams, 1910; Korczak, 1925; Chrisjohn & Young, 1997). Over the course of twentiethcentury history, residential child care has shifted from voluntary and often faith-based initiatives, to large institutional organisations run by medical or social work professionals, to much more community-based and often much smaller programmes staffed by professional child and youth workers (Anglin, 2002). When we think of residential child care today, we are thinking typically of professional organisations operating within a variety of public and private sectors. In Canada these can include shelters for young people who are homeless, group homes, children’s mental health centres that provide treatment for children, young people and often their families, and child welfare programmes that care for children and young people who are unable to live with their families for reasons of safety and well-being.

description: The existence of a neutron scattering resonance at a wavevector q* implies a sign change of the gap between two Fermi surface regions separated by wavevector q* . For the Fe pnictides, a resonance has been observed for a wavevector q* which connects a hole Fermi surface around the $Γ$ point with an electron Fermi surface around the X or Y points of the 1 Fe/unit cell Brillouin zone. Here we study the neutron scattering resonance for a five orbital model within an RPA-BCS approximation. Our results show that both sign-switched and extended s-wave gaps are consistent with the present data for q* near ($π$, 0) and that scattering at other momentum transfers can be useful in distinguishing between gap structures.

Further, we show that our result can fit well the data of porous silicon at low temperature and simulation result of the trapping controlled luminescence model.

description: Objective: Treatment options for non-hospitalised patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) to reduce morbidity, mortality and spread of the disease are an urgent global need. The over-the-counter histamine-2 receptor antagonist famotidine is a putative therapy for COVID-19. We quantitively assessed longitudinal changes in patient reported outcome measures in non-hospitalised patients with COVID-19 who self-administered high-dose famotidine orally. Design: Patients were enrolled consecutively after signing written informed consent. Data on demographics, COVID-19 diagnosis, famotidine use, drug-related side effects, temperature measurements, oxygen saturations and symptom scores were obtained using questionnaires and telephone interviews. Based on a National Institute of Health (NIH)-endorsed Protocol to research Patient Experience of COVID-19, we collected longitudinal severity scores of five symptoms (cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, headaches and anosmia) and general unwellness on a four-point ordinal scale modelled on performance status scoring. All data are reported at the patient level. Longitudinal combined normalised symptom scores were statistically compared. Results: Ten consecutive patients with COVID-19 who self-administered high-dose oral famotidine were identified. The most frequently used famotidine regimen was 80 mg three times daily (n=6) for a median of 11 days (range: 5–21 days). Famotidine was well tolerated. All patients reported marked improvements of disease related symptoms after starting famotidine. The combined symptom score improved significantly within 24 hours of starting famotidine and peripheral oxygen saturation (n=2) and device recorded activity (n=1) increased. Conclusions: The results of this case series suggest that high-dose oral famotidine is well tolerated and associated with improved patient-reported outcomes in non-hospitalised patients with COVID-19.

description: Jaynes-Cummings model is a typical model in quantum optics and has been realized with various physical systems (e.g, cavity QED, trapped ions, and circuit QED etc..) of two-level atoms interacting with quantized bosonic fields. Here, we propose a new implementation of this model by using a single classical laser beam to drive an electron floating on liquid Helium. Two lowest levels of the {\it vertical} motion of the electron acts as a two-level "atom", and the quantized vibration of the electron along one of the {\it parallel} directions, e.g., $x$-direction, serves the bosonic mode. These two degrees of freedom of the trapped electron can be coupled together by using a classical laser field. If the frequencies of the applied laser fields are properly set, the desirable Jaynes-Cummings models could be effectively realized.

description: In this research paper, the discussion will be regarding the advance and evolutionary use of Mixed Reality (MR) experience with Microsoft HoloLens. MR is referred to as hybrid reality, in which the real and the virtual world are merged and the user’s digital objects can interact with the physical world. This technology can enable the collaborative learning process in classrooms. It unlocks a dimension of understanding and exploration, which students were not able to learn by conventional teaching methods. The assortment of MR will be a great substantial product that will have a prominent effect on the pedagogical collaborative learning method. The early results of this methodology have shown some promising outcomes of this technique. Hence, bridging the gap between the complete and partial interpretation of the curriculum for a student, and professional. With the use of MR technology, a new facet is accessible to students. To fulfill the void which the traditional learning methods were not able to provide due to lack of resources and safety constraints. Hence, students were not able to completely understand the high-level concepts of their course material easily, which they are required to implement in their future.

description: Since the IUE satellite produced a vast collection of high-resolution UV spectra of central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPNe), there has not been any further systematic study of the stellar winds of these stars. The high spectral resolution, sensitivity and large number of archival observations in the FUSE archive allow the study of the stellar winds of CSPNe in the far UV domain where lines of species spanning a wide excitation range can be observed. We present here a preliminary analysis of the P Cygni profiles of a sample of 60 CSPNe observed by FUSE. P Cygni profiles evidencing fast stellar winds with velocities between 200 and 4,300 km/s have been found in 40 CSPNe. In many cases, this is the first time that fast stellar winds have been reported for these PNe. A detailed study of these far-UV spectra is on-going.

title: GLBTQ RCC NYC USA : Gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, questioning and residential child care in New York City, United States of America
Creators: name: Sutherland, Mike
Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde
Year: 2009

description: It is impossible to calculate accurately the number of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning (GLBTQ) young people in residential child care as this would depend upon all GLBTQ young people being confident enough and willing to identify themselves as such. An estimate, however, can be made based upon studies of both the general and the residential child care population. Research suggests that between two and nine per cent of young people have had some same-sex sexual experience (National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles, 2000). Given that there are approximately 2500 young people in residential child care in Scotland, this means that a substantial minority of young people who are looked after away from home are GLBTQ.
Development of ultrabright luminescent nanoparticles for smartphone-based point-of-care diagnostics and single-particle characterization of various luminescent nanoparticles
Creators: name: Darwish, Ghinwa H.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Photoluminescent nanoparticles (NPs) are promising materials for bioanalysis and imaging applications, offering many potential advantages versus conventional fluorescent dyes. With a full understanding of material properties and suitable chemistries, photoluminescent NPs are able to enhance sensitivity, increase multicolour capabilities, enable tracking over longer periods, and improve the analytical performance of portable devices. However, gaps remain in understanding the photophysical properties of many photoluminescent NPs and there are unresolved challenges in their optimization and application. This thesis presents original research that advances the development of brightly photoluminescent nanoparticles (NPs) toward applications in bioanalysis and imaging. Materials of interest include quantum dots (QDs), polymer dots (Pdots), supra-QDs, and super-QDs, which are studied at the ensemble and especially the single-particle levels. Fundamental research objectives include better understanding the photophysical properties of these materials, as in the cases of studying the complexing photobleaching behaviour of Pdots and demonstrating a new approach for the selective immobilization of single QDs via tetrameric antibody complexes and affinity tag peptides. Applied research objectives include the development and characterization of ultra-bright supra-QDs and super-QDs for cellular immunolabeling and imaging, particularly with smartphone-based devices for cytometry. A set of red-green-blue (RGB) composite colours of supra-QD is devised for the latter and shown to be able to enable double-digit levels of multiplexing via support vector machine (SVM) algorithms for machine learning. Overall, this thesis significantly contributes to the understanding and applications of luminescent NPs. It will impact the design and optimization of these materials, the lab-based applications of these materials, and future technologies for point-of-care/need (POC/N) diagnostics enabled by these materials. Prospective outcomes include improved imaging and detection tools for biomedical research and technologies that support more accessible and equitable health care.
Finite-time destruction of entanglement and non-locality by environmental influences

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Entanglement and non-locality are non-classical global characteristics of quantum states important to the foundations of quantum mechanics. Recent investigations have shown that environmental noise, even when it is entirely local in influence, can destroy both of these properties in finite time despite giving rise to full quantum state decoherence only in the infinite time limit. These investigations, which have been carried out in a range of theoretical and experimental situations, are reviewed here.

description: We present CoboDeck - our proof-of-concept immersive virtual reality haptic system with free walking support. It provides prop-based encountered-type haptic feedback with a mobile robotic platform. Intended for use as a design tool for architects, it enables the user to directly and intuitively interact with virtual objects like walls, doors, or furniture. A collaborative robotic arm mounted on an omnidirectional mobile platform can present a physical prop that matches the position and orientation of a virtual counterpart anywhere in large virtual and real environments. We describe the concept, hardware, and software architecture of our system. Furthermore, we present the first behavioral algorithm tailored for the unique challenges of safe human-robot haptic interaction in VR, explicitly targeting availability and safety while the user is unaware of the robot and can change trajectory at any time. We explain our high-level state machine that controls the robot to follow a user closely and rapidly escape from him as required by the situation. We present our technical evaluation. The results suggest that our chasing approach saves time, decreases the travel distance and thus battery usage, compared to more traditional approaches for mobile platforms assuming a fixed parking position between interactions. We also show that the robot can escape from the user and prevent a possible collision within a mean time of 1.62 s. Finally, we confirm the validity of our approach in a practical validation and discuss the potential of the proposed system.

description: The two files are the PDF and PNG versions of a poster created and presented at the Digital History 2023 conference. It shows some of the results of my dissertation project, in which I am conducting a historical online discourse analysis on a collection of tweets. The source corpus comprises tweets published in the context of the 30th "Day of German Unity" and containing the term "unjust state". They allow conclusions to be drawn about the status quo of the discourse on the "unjust state" of the GDR as well as about the role that SED injustice plays in our positioning in the present.
Tweaking the spin-wave dispersion and suppressing the incommensurate phase in LiNiPO$_4$ by iron substitution

description: Elastic and inelastic neutron scattering studies of Li(Ni$_{1-x}$Fe$_{x}$)PO$_4$ single crystals reveal anomalous spin-wave dispersions along the crystallographic direction parallel to the characteristic wave vector of the magnetic incommensurate phase. The anomalous spin-wave dispersion ({\it magnetic soft mode}) indicates the instability of the Ising-like ground state that eventually evolves into the incommensurate phase as the temperature is raised. The pure LiNiPO$_4$ system ($x=0$), undergoes a first-order magnetic phase transition from a long-range incommensurate phase to an antiferromagnetic ground state at {\it T}$_N$ = 20.8 K. At 20% Fe concentrations, although the AFM ground state is to a large extent preserved as that of the pure system, the phase transition is second-order, and the incommensurate phase is completely suppressed. Analysis of the dispersion curves using a Heisenberg spin Hamiltonian that includes inter- and in-plane nearest and next-nearest neighbor couplings reveals frustration due to strong competing interactions between nearest- and a next-nearest neighbor site, consistent with the observed incommensurate structure. The Fe substitution only slightly lowers the extent of the frustration, sufficient to suppress the IC phase. An energy gap in the dispersion curves gradually decreases with the increase of Fe content from $\sim$2 meV for the pure system ($x=0$) to $\sim$0.9 meV for $x=0.2$.
