description: The angular distributions of the decay products in the successive decays chi_c (chi_b) to J/psi (Upsilon) gamma and J/psi (Upsilon) to l+l- are calculated as a function of the angular momentum composition of the decaying chi meson and of the multipole structure of the photon radiation, using a formalism independent of production mechanisms and polarization frames. The polarizations of the chi states produced in high energy collisions can be derived from the dilepton decay distributions of the daughter J/psi or Upsilon mesons, with a reduced dependence on the details of the photon reconstruction or simulation. Moreover, this method eliminates the dependence of the polarization measurement on the actual details of the multipole structure of the radiative transition. Problematic points in previous calculations of the chi_c decay angular distributions are identified and clarified.

description: XML stands for the Extensible Markup Language. It is a markup language for documents, Nowadays XML is a tool to develop and likely to become a much more common tool for sharing data and store. XML can communicate structured information to other users. In other words, if a group of users agree to implement the same kinds of tags to describe a certain kind of information, XML applications can assist these users in communicating their information in an more robust and efficient manner. XML can make it easier to exchange information between cooperating entities. In this paper we will present the XML technique by fourth factors Strength of XML, XML Parser, XML Goals and Types of XML Parsers.

description: Although backpropagation ANNs generally predict better than decision trees do for pattern classification problems, they are often regarded as black boxes, i.e., their predictions cannot be explained as those of decision trees. In many applications, it is desirable to extract knowledge from trained ANNs for the users to gain a better understanding of how the networks solve the problems. A new rule extraction algorithm, called rule extraction from artificial neural networks (REANN) is proposed and implemented to extract symbolic rules from ANNs. A standard three-layer feedforward ANN is the basis of the algorithm. A four-phase training algorithm is proposed for backpropagation learning. Explicitness of the extracted rules is supported by comparing them to the symbolic rules generated by other methods. Extracted rules are comparable with other methods in terms of number of rules, average number of conditions for a rule, and predictive accuracy. Extensive experimental studies on several benchmarks classification problems, such as breast cancer, iris, diabetes, and season classification problems, demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach with good generalization ability.

description: Abstract: Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), an aggressive CD30-positive T-cell lymphoma, comprises systemic anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive, and ALK-negative, primary cutaneous and breast implant-associated ALCL. Prognosis of some ALCL subgroups is still unsatisfactory, and already in second line effective treatment options are lacking. To identify genes defining ALCL cell state and dependencies, we here characterize super-enhancer regions by genome-wide H3K27ac ChIP-seq. In addition to known ALCL key regulators, the AP-1-member BATF3 and IL-2 receptor (IL2R)-components are among the top hits. Specific and high-level IL2R expression in ALCL correlates with BATF3 expression. Confirming a regulatory link, IL-2R-expression decreases following BATF3 knockout, and BATF3 is recruited to IL2R regulatory regions. Functionally, IL-2, IL-15 and Neo-2/15, a hyper-stable IL-2/IL-15 mimic, accelerate ALCL growth and activate STAT1, STAT5 and ERK1/2. In line, strong IL-2Rα-expression in ALCL patients is linked to more aggressive clinical presentation. Finally, an IL-2Rα-targeting antibody-drug conjugate efficiently kills ALCL cells in vitro and in vivo. Our results highlight the importance of the BATF3/IL-2R-module for ALCL biology and identify IL-2Rα-targeting as a promising treatment strategy for ALCL.

description: Abstract: The record of past climate highlights recurrent and intense millennial anomalies, characterised by a distinct pattern of inter-polar temperature change, termed the ‘thermal bipolar seesaw’, which is widely believed to arise from rapid changes in the Atlantic overturning circulation. By forcing a suppression of North Atlantic convection, models have been able to reproduce many of the general features of the thermal bipolar seesaw; however, they typically fail to capture the full magnitude of temperature change reconstructed using polar ice cores from both hemispheres. Here we use deep-water temperature reconstructions, combined with parallel oxygenation and radiocarbon ventilation records, to demonstrate the occurrence of enhanced deep convection in the Southern Ocean across the particularly intense millennial climate anomaly, Heinrich Stadial 4. Our results underline the important role of Southern Ocean convection as a potential amplifier of Antarctic warming, and atmospheric CO2 rise, that is responsive to triggers originating in the North Atlantic.

Virtual and mixed reality

description: Product evaluation throughout the design process is a fundamental task to ensure product success. Virtual prototyping is displacing physical prototyping for product evaluation due to its lower cost and flexibility to easily generate design alternatives (colors, textures, shapes). The thesis provides a deeper understanding of the influence of the presentation medium on product evaluation. The semantic differential technique was applied in to obtain the consumers’ subjective impression when they observed furniture scenes under two different presentation mediums. High-quality realistic renderings were displayed on a computer screen equipped with an eye-tracker. The same scenes were observed by the same users (repeated measures experimental design) with a virtual reality headset equipped with an integrated eye-tracker (HP Reverb G2 Omnicept). Equivalent areas/volumes of interest were defined to calculate the eye- tracking metric dwell time. Statistical analyses then compared dwell times and values of semantic scales in the 2D and VR conditions to determine if the medium of presentation influenced them.
 The experimental data obtained in the thesis confirmed that both the consumer’s subjective impression measured through bipolar pairs and the level of confidence in its assessment was influenced by the visual medium. However, the level of confidence in the assessment of a semantic scale of a product presented on VR was not affected by the sense of presence.
 The amount of time (dwell time) that subjects spend looking at a specific product on a joint or individual visualization were influenced by the visual medium.

An exploratory analysis of factors associated with length of stay following transcatheter aortic valve implantation
Creators: name: Nguyen, Michelle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a minimally invasive treatment option for higher surgical risk patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) and significant co-existing conditions which may preclude them from surgical valve replacement. Patient characteristics and wait time have been shown to impact length of stay (LOS) in individuals with heart disease; however, these variables have not been extensively evaluated in the TAVI population. Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore factors associated with post-TAVI recovery, as measured by hospital LOS. Method: A retrospective chart review of consecutive patients who underwent TAVI in Vancouver, British Columbia between January 01, 2013 to December 31, 2014 was conducted. Study variables included patient characteristics and wait time. The outcome variable, LOS, was defined as time, in days, from procedure to hospital discharge. Univariate and bivariate analyses were used to select moderately correlated variables for multivariate regression analysis. Results: The study sample consisted of 257 patients, with a mean age of 81.4 years. The median wait time from acceptance to procedure was 36 days, while the median LOS was 3.0 days. Bivariate analysis showed age, living situation, symptom severity, prior surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), and prior balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) to be statistically significantly associated with post-TAVI stay in-hospital. The multivariate model revealed that relative to having a LOS of 1 to 2 days, patients who had previously undergone a BAV were 10.7 times more likely to stay 5 days or more (CI [1.16, 98.1]) compared with patients who had not undergone a BAV. No other baseline factors were found to be statistically predictive of prolonged LOS, although odds ratios suggest patients with lower symptom severity and patients who underwent valve-in-valve TAVI were less likely to experience a longer LOS. The model also showed that patients 75 to 79 years of age, with NYHA class III or IV symptoms, and no prior history of an AVR were more likely to follow a standard course of recovery, staying 3 to 4 days, while patients who had a valve-in-valve procedure were more likely to stay 1 to 2 days.

Evaluation of breadfruit (Artocarpus altilis and A. altilis X A. mariannensis) as a dietary protein source
Creators: name: Liu, Ying
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Protein malnutrition is a leading cause of child mortality and chronic development disorders in the tropics. This study evaluated the protein quality of breadfruit using three standards measures: (1) yield of fruit and production of protein, (2) the protein content and amino acid profile, and (3) the protein digestibility/amino acid availability. I analyzed field data collected from 2006 to 2012 from 24 breadfruit cultivars in National Tropical Botanical Garden in Kauai, Hawaii. Based on a plant density of 100 trees/ha, breadfruit can yield 10-14 tons of fruit/ha. The commercial cultivar Ma’afala can produce up to 0.52 t/ha of protein. This is higher than wheat, rice, cassava, and potato. To determine the quality of breadfruit protein, I conducted an amino acid analysis of 49 breadfruit cultivars using high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection and determined that the full spectrum of the essential amino acids were present in all cultivars. Breadfruit is especially rich in phenylalanine, leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Ma’afala contained a higher total essential amino acid content than many other staples including wheat, corn, rice, soybean, and yellow pea. To determine breadfruit protein digestibility, I developed a human digestion model, and found that Ma’afala protein was 10-25% more digestible than wheat protein. Ma’afala and wheat protein were compared using a human intestinal epithelial cell model. The results showed that Ma’afala induced similar impact on cell morphology and cytokine production in the model. To determine the overall effect on health, I compared breadfruit and wheat diet in a standard rodent model. The results show that the breadfruit diet did not induce any adverse effects on the overall health or growth of the mice. Breadfruit-fed mice gained more weight overall than wheat-fed mice but the crumbly nature of the diet made accurate food intake measures impossible. Chemical and histological analysis did not reveal any significant difference between the two diet groups suggesting that breadfruit is not toxic. Together, these data demonstrate that breadfruit has potential as a staple protein source for reducing malnutrition in tropical countries and as an ingredient in nutritional products, in particular gluten-free food products, for world markets.

description: Abstract: Water in nature predominantly freezes with the help of foreign materials through a process known as heterogeneous ice nucleation. Although this effect was exploited more than seven decades ago in Vonnegut’s pioneering cloud seeding experiments, it remains unclear what makes a material a good ice former. Here, we show through a machine learning analysis of nucleation simulations on a database of diverse model substrates that a set of physical descriptors for heterogeneous ice nucleation can be identified. Our results reveal that, beyond Vonnegut’s connection with the lattice match to ice, three new microscopic factors help to predict the ice nucleating ability. These are: local ordering induced in liquid water, density reduction of liquid water near the surface and corrugation of the adsorption energy landscape felt by water. With this we take a step towards quantitative understanding of heterogeneous ice nucleation and the in silico design of materials to control ice formation.

description: We provide a theoretical update of the calculations of the pi0-gamma*-gamma form factor in the LCSR framework, including up to six polynomials in the conformal expansion of the pion distribution amplitude and taking into account twist-six corrections related to the photon emission at large distances. The results are compared with the calculations of the B-> pi l nu decay and pion electromagnetic form factors in the same framework. Our conclusion is that the recent BaBar measurements of the pi0-gamma*-gamma form factor at large momentum transfers are consistent with QCD, although they do suggest that the pion DA may have more structure than usually assumed.

description: Abstract: Introduction: This study assessed the feasibility and acceptability of FRESH (Families Reporting Every Step to Health), a theory-based child-led family physical activity (PA) intervention delivered online. We also assessed the preliminary effectiveness of the intervention on outcomes of interest and whether pre-specified criteria were met to progress to a full-scale definitive trial. Methods: In a three-armed randomised pilot trial, 41 families (with a 7–11-year-old index child) were allocated to a: ‘family’ (FAM), ‘pedometer-only’ (PED), or a no-treatment control (CON) arm. The FAM arm received access to the FRESH website, allowing participants to select step challenges to ‘travel’ to target cities around the world, log their steps, and track progress as families virtually globetrot. FAM and PED arms also received family sets of pedometers. All family members could participate in the evaluation. Physical (e.g., fitness, blood pressure), psychosocial (e.g., social support), behavioural (e.g., objectively-measured PA), and economic (e.g., expenditure for PA) data were collected at baseline, 8- and 52-weeks. Results: At 8- and 52-weeks, 98 and 88% of families were retained, respectively. Most children liked participating in the study (> 90%) and thought it was fun (> 80%). Compared to the PED (45%) and CON (39%) arms, a higher percentage of children in the FAM (81%) arm reported doing more activities with their family. Adults agreed that FRESH encouraged their family do more PA and made their family more aware of the amount of PA they do. No notable between-group differences were found for childrens’ minutes in moderate-to-vigorous PA. Sizeable changes of 9.4 (95%CI: 0.4, 18.4) and 15.3 (95%CI: 6.0, 24.5) minutes in moderate-to-vigorous PA was found for adults in the FAM group compared to those in the PED or CON groups, respectively. No other notable differences were found. Conclusion: This study demonstrates feasibility and acceptability of the FRESH intervention. All progression criteria were at least partially satisfied. However, we failed to recruit the target sample size and did not find a signal of effectiveness on PA particularly long-term or in children. Further refinements are required to progress to a full-scale trial. Trial registration: This study was prospectively registered (ISRCTN12789422) on 16/03/2016.

description: The NOx conversion efficiency of a combined Selective Catalytic Reduction and Ammonia Slip Catalyst (SCR-ASC) in a Diesel Aftertreatment (AT) system degrades with time. A novel model-informed data-driven On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) binary classification strategy is proposed in this paper to distinguish an End of Useful Life (EUL) SCR-ASC catalyst from Degreened (DG) ones. An optimized supervised machine learning model was used for the classification with a calibrated single-cell 3-state Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) observer used for state estimation. The method resulted in 87.5% classification accuracy when tested on 8 day-files from 4 trucks (2 day-files per truck; 1 DG and 1 EUL) operating in realworld on-road conditions.

description: Abstract: Background: Acquired brain injury (ABI) affects approximately 79.3 million individuals annually and is linked with elevated rates of depression and low mood. Existing methods for treating depression in ABI have shown mixed efficacy. Behavioural activation (BA) is a potentially promising intervention. Its premise is that individuals with low mood avoid planning and engaging in activities due to low expectations of a positive outcome. Consequently, their exposure to positive reinforcement is reduced, exacerbating low mood. BA aims to break this cycle by encouraging activity planning and engagement. It is unknown whether cognitive demands of traditional BA may undermine efficacy in ABI. Here, we assess the feasibility and acceptability of two groups designed to increase activity engagement. In the activity planning group (traditional BA), the importance of meaningful and positive activity will be discussed and participants encouraged to plan/engage in activities in everyday life. The activity engagement group (experiential BA) instead focuses on engagement in positive experiences (crafts, games, discussion) within the group. The primary aims are to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the two groups in ABI. A secondary aim is to explore relative efficacy of the groups compared to an equivalent period of waitlist controls. Method: This study outlines a parallel-arm pilot feasibility trial for individuals with low mood and ABI that compares a traditional vs experiential BA group vs waitlist controls. Adults (≥ 18 years) will be recruited from local ABI services and randomised to condition. Feasibility and acceptability will be assessed via recruitment, retention, attendance and participant feedback. Groups will be compared (pre- and post-intervention and 1 month follow-up) by assessing self-reported activity engagement. Secondary outcomes include self-report measures of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic distress related to the ABI, motivation, participation and sense of control over one’s life. Ethics and dissemination: The trial has been approved by the Health Research Authority of the NHS in the UK (East of England—Cambridge Central, REF 18/EE/0305). Results will inform future research on interventions for mood in ABI and be disseminated broadly via peer-reviewed journals, conference presentations and social media.

description: We present a description of the energy loss of a charged particle moving parallel to a graphene layer and graphene double layers. Specifically, we compare the stopping power of the plasma oscillations for these two configurations in the absence as well as the presence of circularly polarized light whose frequency and intensity can be varied to yield an energy gap of several hundred $\texttt{meV}$ between the valence and conduction bands. The dressed states of the Dirac electrons by the photons yield collective plasma excitations whose characteristics are qualitatively and quantitatively different from those produced by Dirac fermions in gapless graphene, due in part to the finite effective mass of the dressed electrons. For example, the range of wave numbers for undamped self-sustaining plasmons is increased as the gap is increased, thereby increasing the stopping power of graphene for some range of charged particle velocity when graphene is radiated by circularly polarized light.

description: Die vorliegende Studie befasst sich mit dem transmigrationssoziologischen Phänomen der aus- und einwandernden türkisch-muslimischen Abiturient:innen, die in Deutschland geboren, auf-gewachsen und sozialisiert sind, sodann die Entscheidung getroffen haben für ein islamisches Theologiestudium in die Türkei auszuwandern und dann nicht dort verharrten, sondern nach Deutschland re-immigriert sind. Mit elf narrativ-(teil-)biographischen Interviews und der do-kumentarischen Methode geht diese praxeologische Arbeit interpretativ die individuellen und strukturellen Bedingungen an, die in den Biographieverläufen der Interviewees rekonstruiert werden. Sowohl gesellschaftliche als auch subjekt-interne Erfahrungen und Erlebnisse leiten die Handlungen der Proband:innen dazu an, den sozial-räumlichen Kontext zu wechseln und somit neue habituelle Praxismuster anzueignen, mit denen Lösungsstrategien gegen Diskrimi-nierungs- und Rassismuserfahrungen und für Identitätskrisen und -stiftungen generiert werden können.

description: Sequences of line-of-sight (LOS) magnetograms recorded by the Michelson-Doppler Imager are used to quantitatively characterize photospheric magnetic structure and evolution in three active regions that rotated across the Sun's disk during the Whole Heliosphere Interval (WHI), in an attempt to relate the photospheric magnetic properties of these active regions to flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Several approaches are used in our analysis, on scales ranging from whole active regions, to magnetic features, to supergranular scales, and, finally, to individual pixels. We calculated several parameterizations of magnetic structure and evolution that have previously been associated with flare and CME activity, including total unsigned magnetic flux, magnetic flux near polarity inversion lines, amount of cancelled flux, the "proxy Poynting flux," and helicity flux. To catalog flare events, we used flare lists derived from both GOES and RHESSI observations. By most such measures, AR 10988 should have been the most flare- and CME-productive active region, and AR 10989 the least. Observations, however, were not consistent with this expectation: ARs 10988 and 10989 produced similar numbers of flares, and AR 10989 also produced a few CMEs. These results highlight present limitations of statistics-based flare and CME forecasting tools that rely upon line-of-sight photospheric magnetic data alone.

description: Abstract: Biofilm colonisation of surfaces is of critical importance in various areas ranging from indwelling medical devices to industrial setups. Of particular importance is the reduced susceptibility of bacteria embedded in a biofilm to existing antimicrobial agents. In this paper, we demonstrate that remotely actuated magnetic cantilevers grafted on a substrate act efficiently in preventing bacterial biofilm formation. When exposed to an alternating magnetic field, the flexible magnetic cantilevers vertically deflect from their initial position periodically, with an extremely low frequency (0.16 Hz). The cantilevers’ beating prevents the initial stage of bacterial adhesion to the substrate surface and the subsequent biofilm growth. Our experimental data on E. coli liquid cultures demonstrate up to a 70% reduction in biofilm formation. A theoretical model has been developed to predict the amplitude of the cantilevers vertical deflection. Our results demonstrate proof-of-concept for a device that can magneto-mechanically prevent the first stage in bacterial biofilm formation, acting as on-demand fouling release active surfaces.

description: This paper outlines recommendations for a data use register standard to be adopted by organisations responsible for the safe sharing of data used for research and innovation. A data use register (also known as a data release register or list of approved projects) is a public record of how data is being used for research, by who and most importantly for what purpose and offers a demonstration of the value and benefit of using health data. The paper has been drafted following consultations and workshops with numerous organisations including health data research organisations and universities, data custodians and patient and public groups. We are now working with data custodians to support adoption of this standard and improve transparency in data use.

description: Semantic Web is actually an extension of the current one in that it represents information more meaningfully for humans and computers alike. It enables the description of contents and services in machine-readable form, and enables annotating, discovering, publishing, advertising and composing services to be automated. It was developed based on Ontology, which is considered as the backbone of the Semantic Web. In other words, the current Web is transformed from being machine-readable to machine-understandable. In fact, Ontology is a key technique with which to annotate semantics and provide a common, comprehensible foundation for resources on the Semantic Web. Moreover, Ontology can provide a common vocabulary, a grammar for publishing data, and can supply a semantic description of data which can be used to preserve the Ontologies and keep them ready for inference. This paper provides basic concepts of web services and the Semantic Web, defines the structure and the main applications of ontology, and provides many relevant terms are explained in order to provide a basic understanding of ontologies.

description: We reach walking optimality from a very early age by using natural supports, which can be the hands of our parents, chairs, and training wheels, and bootstrap a new knowledge from the recently acquired one. The idea behind bootstrapping is to use the previously acquired knowledge from simpler tasks to accelerate the learning of more complicated ones. In this paper, we propose a scaffolded learning method from an evolutionary perspective, where a biped creature achieves stable and independent bipedal walking while exploiting the natural scaffold of its changing morphology to create a third limb. The novelty of this work is speeding up the learning process with an artificially recreated scaffolded learning. We compare three conditions of scaffolded learning (free, time-constrained, and performance-based scaffolded learning) to reach bipedalism, and we prove that a performance-based scaffold, which is designed by the walking velocity obtained, is the most conducive to bootstrap the learning of bipedal walking. The scope of this work is not to study bipedal locomotion but to investigate the contribution from scaffolded learning to a faster learning process. Beyond a pedagogical experiment, this work presents a powerful tool to accelerate the learning of complex tasks in the Robotics field.
