Investigating the role of metal-ligand bonding on biological activity of metallotherapeutics
Creators: name: Sriskandakumar, Thamayanthy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Defining and understanding the structure activity relationship and mechanisms of action of pharmaceutical agents in a biological environment is vital for their faster and successful clinical development. The mode of activation is often complicated for metalloanticancer drugs due to their wide spectrum of activity and interactions with biomolecules, during and after transport to cancer cells. The research herein describes the investigation of thiolate ligand oxygenation and its potential role in the mechanism of action for a family of “half-sandwich RuII arene” anticancer complexes. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), in concert with density functional theory (DFT) calculations, has been used to describe the influence of thiolato oxygenation on the nature of the Ru-S bond with the effect on ancillary ligands modifications in the parent thiolato (M-SR) and oxidized sulfenato (M-SOR) and sulfinato (M-SO₂R) species respectively. This study suggests that the sulfenato species are most susceptible to ligand exchange, but only via activation by protonation of the terminal oxo group. Perturbations of the sulfenato and sulfinato species can be achieved via either protonation or Lewis acid interaction; however the effect is greater in the sulfenato compared to that of sulfinato. DFT calculations are in agreement with the experimental data. Further studies of the electronic structure of a broader series of OsII and RuII arene complexes have been performed using a similar combined spectroscopic and computational approach. Results from these studies provide important new insights into the chemical and biochemical properties of these complexes. Finally, these studies uncover the correlation between the electronic structure and reactivity that is important and must be considered when investigating the transition metal complexes in medicinal chemistry.

description: Genuine-multipartite-entanglement (GME) concurrence is a measure of genuine multipartite entanglement that generalizes the well-known notion of concurrence. We define an observable for GME concurrence. The observable permits us to avoid full state tomography and leads to different analytic lower bounds. By means of explicit examples we show that entanglement criteria based on the bounds have a better performance with respect to the known methods.

Come i Maya avrebbero visto la fine del tredicesimo baktun

Year: 2013
Subjects: Conto Lungo; Maya; 2012

description: From the calendrical, epigraphic and colonial data about Maya vision of creation and of the date 13.0.0.0.0 there are elements to suppose that Maya themselves could have consider the end of the thirteenth baktun both as an apocalyptic passage or as a “normal”, though very very rare, date.

Among those in favor of an apocalyptic vision may be stated that:

1) the 13.0.0.0.0 4 Ajaw 3 K'ank'in two of the three Maya calendars present the same dates (among them the most important one: that of the ritual calendar 4 Ajaw) and then the same influences of the day of creation;

2) The god Bolon Yookte’ is in some cases associated with creation, with a prominent role in the documents of the Colonial Period;

3) the idea that in the past there had been other creations of humanity.

Among those to the detriment of an apocalyptic vision may be stated that:

1) the creation event, that of the day 13.0.0.0.0 4 Ajaw 8 Kumku', is unique and unrepeatable;

2) the conception of cyclical creations is the result of influence Mexica and does not appear in the thought of the Classic Maya

3) December 21, 2012 does not reset the Long Count 13.0.0.0.0 but switches it to 13.0.0.0.1;

4) do not recur exactly all the same influences on the day of creation, the day of the month is different: instead of 8 Kumku' does occur 3 Kank'in;

5) in the documents of the Classic Period Bolon Yookte' is not the deus ex machina of creation, a role that belongs to God and God L D, but only one of those present.

description: Active Brownian particles are capable of taking up energy from their environment and converting it into directed motion; examples range from chemotactic cells and bacteria to artificial micro-swimmers. We have recently demonstrated that Janus particles, i.e. gold-capped colloidal spheres, suspended in a critical binary liquid mixture perform active Brownian motion when illuminated by light. In this article, we investigate in some more details their swimming mechanism leading to active Brownian motion. We show that the illumination-borne heating induces a local asymmetric demixing of the binary mixture generating a spatial chemical concentration gradient, which is responsible for the particle's self-diffusiophoretic motion. We study this effect as a function of the functionalization of the gold cap, the particle size and the illumination intensity: the functionalization determines what component of the binary mixture is preferentially adsorbed at the cap and the swimming direction (towards or away from the cap); the particle size determines the rotational diffusion and, therefore, the random reorientation of the particle; and the intensity tunes the strength of the heating and, therefore, of the motion. Finally, we harness this dependence of the swimming strength on the illumination intensity to investigate the behaviour of a micro-swimmer in a spatial light gradient, where its swimming properties are space-dependent.

description: In this paper we consider the possibility to use numerical simulations for a computer assisted analysis of integrability of dynamical systems. We formulate a rather general method of recovering the obstruction to integrability for the systems with a small number of degrees of freedom. We generalize this method using the results of KAM theory and stochastic approaches to the families of parameter depending systems. This permits the localization of possible integrability regions in the parameter space. We give some examples of application of this approach to dynamical systems having mechanical origin.

description: The second meeting of the AISI (Associazione Italiana Studi Iberoamericani) was dedicated to “Apocalypse” in Latin American literature. In the year of 2012 this particular subject was chosen as various non- and pseudo-scientific and New Age publications hold that the Maya Long Count ends in 2012, more specifically on December 21. In this essay I present a short overview on how the idea of an ‘end’ of the Maya Long Count emerged, which ancient Maya hieroglyphic texts (from the Late Classic Maya period, ca. A.D. 550-900) refer to this particular date, and what the only text (from the site of Tortuguero, Tabasco, Mexico) that may tell us something on 2012 reveals. I also present a short historic overview of the quality of the drawing of the Tortuguero text and how these influenced earlier decipherments, translations, and interpretations of this text. Ultimately, the hieroglyphic text itself is analyzed and one detail is discusses in more detail, the verb root tzutz- and which different, but not necessarily mutually exclusive, meanings it has in Mayan languages.

description: Regular two-dimensional lattices of evanescently coupled waveguides may provide in the near future photonic components capable of combining interferometrically and simultaneously a large number of telescopes, thus easing the imaging capabilities of optical interferometers. In this paper, the theoretical modeling of the so-called Discrete Beam Combiners (DBC) is described and compared to the conventional model used for photonic beam combiners for astronomical interferometry. The performance of DBCs as compared to an ideal ABCD beam combiner is discussed and applications to astronomical instrumentation analyzed.
Apocalipsis de la madre patria: la decadencia de la Europa de finales del siglo XIX en las “crónicas” de Rubén Darío
Creators: name: Ghezzani, Alessandra
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2013

description: The last part of Rubén Darío's literary production was marked by a change in his poetics, that means he increased intimism, civil and political interests. In the chronicles written at the end of the 19th century, the change also concerns the author's statement of European decadence and fall. In this period, in which Spain lost his colonies (1898), Darío focuses on the reasons why Spain (España contemporánea, 1901) and to some extent France (Peregrinaciones, 1901; Parisiana, 1908) got into an extensive cultural crisis. In this essay I get evidence of Dario's political thought, pointing out the way in which he recognizes signs of decadence, and the arguments he uses, which imply an idealistic solution to problems.

description: We explore the ability of three-particle templates to distinguish color neutral objects from QCD background. This method is particularly useful to identify the standard model Higgs, as well as other massive neutral particles. Simple cut-based analysis in the overlap distributions of the signal and background is shown to provide a significant rejection power. By combining with other discriminating variables, such as planar flow, and several variables that depend on the partonic template, three-particle templates are used to characterize the influence of gluon emission and color flow in collider events. The performance of the method is discussed for the case of a highly boosted Higgs in association with a leptonically-decaying W boson.

This model represents Koszul complex of its equivariant cohomology.

We give a proof of toral rank conjecture for spaces with formal quotient in the case of torus dimension $\le5$.

Resonant enhancement of a single attosecond pulse in a gas medium by a time-delayed control field

description: An optical coherent control scheme has been proposed and theoretically investigated where an extreme ultraviolet single attosecond pulse (SAP) propagates through a dense helium gas dressed by a time-delayed femtosecond laser pulse. The laser pulse couples the 2s2p(^1P) and 2s^2(^1S) autoionizing states when the SAP excites the 2s2p state. After going through the gas, the spectral and temporal profiles of the SAP are strongly distorted. A narrowed but enhanced spike in the spectrum shows up for specific intensities and time delays of the laser, which exemplifies the control of a broadband photon wave packet by an ultrashort dressing field for the first time. We analyze the photon and electron dynamics and conclude on the dressing condition that maximizes this enhancement. The result demonstrates new possibilities of attosecond optical control.

description: We present the magnetic and electric field structures as well as the currents and charge densities of pulsar magnetospheres which do not obey the ideal condition, ${\bf E \cdot B =0}$. Since the acceleration of particles and the production of radiation requires the presence of an electric field component parallel to the magnetic field, ${\bf E}_\parallel$, the structure of non-Ideal pulsar magnetospheres is intimately related to the production of pulsar radiation. Therefore, knowledge of the structure of non-Ideal pulsar magnetospheres is important because their comparison (including models for the production of radiation) with observations will delineate the physics and the parameters underlying the pulsar radiation problem. We implement a variety of prescriptions that support nonzero values for ${\bf E}_\parallel$ and explore their effects on the structure of the resulting magnetospheres. We produce families of solutions that span the entire range between the vacuum and the (ideal) Force-Free Electrodynamic solutions. We also compute the amount of dissipation as a fraction of the Poynting flux for pulsars of different angles between the rotation and magnetic axes and conclude that this is at most 20-40% (depending on the non-ideal prescription) in the aligned rotator and 10% in the perpendicular one. We present also the limiting solutions with the property $J=ρc$ and discuss their possible implication on the determination of the "on/off" states of the intermittent pulsars. Finally, we find that solutions with values of $J$ greater than those needed to null ${\bf E}_\parallel$ locally produce oscillations, potentially observable in the data.

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a hydrogen peroxide, sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate dentifrice upon quantitative changes in the sulcular microbial species Bacteroides melaninogenicus and in the gingival condition and plaque accumulation associated with periodontitis. Fifteen subjects from the Hampton Veteran's Administration Medical Center w e r e selected according to a standard criteria. Split mouth experimental design was used. One arch of each patient was assigned randomly to periodontal instrumentation. Half the mouth then was assigned randomly an experimental or a control dentifrice to be utilized once daily. culture analysis, the Gingival Index and the Plaque Index were performed initially to provide baseline data and at four and eight weeks. Intervals of two weeks provided review of home care procedures involved in the investigation. A two-way analysis of variance with alpha set at 0.05 was performed. Neither periodontal instrumentation nor home care regimen revealed a statistically significant difference.

A robust fit for generalized partial linear partial additive models
Creators: name: Pan, Yiyang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: In regression studies, semi-parametric models provide both flexibility and interpretability. In this thesis, we focus on a robust model fitting algorithm for a family of semi-parametric models – the Generalized Partial Linear Partial Addi- tive Models (GAPLMs), which is a hybrid of the widely-used Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) and Generalized Additive Models (GAMs). The traditional model fitting algorithms are mainly based on likelihood proce- dures. However, the resulting fits can be severely distorted by the presence of a small portion of atypical observations (also known as “outliers”), which deviate from the assumed model. Furthermore, the traditional model diag- nostic methods might also fail to detect outliers. In order to systematically solve these problems, we develop a robust model fitting algorithm which is resistant to the effect of outliers. Our method combines the backfitting algorithm and the generalized Speckman estimator to fit the “partial linear partial additive” styled models. Instead of using the likelihood-based weights and adjusted response from the generalized local scoring algorithm (GLSA), we apply the robust weights and adjusted response derived form the robust quasi-likelihood proposed by Cantoni and Ronchetti (2001). We also extend previous methods by proposing a model prediction algorithm for GAPLMs. To compare our robust method with the non-robust one given by the R function gam

description: We study cosmological perturbations for a ghost free massive gravity theory formulated with a dynamical extra metric that is needed to massive deform GR. In this formulation FRW background solutions fall in two branches. In the dynamics of perturbations around the first branch solutions, no extra degree of freedom with respect to GR ispresent at linearized level, likewise what is found in the Stuckelberg formulation of massive gravity where the extra metric isflat and non dynamical. In the first branch, perturbations are probably strongly coupled. On the contrary, for perturbations around the second branch solutions all expected degrees of freedom propagate. While tensor and vector perturbations of the physical metric that couples with matter follow closely the ones of GR, scalars develop an exponential Jeans-like instability on sub-horizon scales. On the other hand, around a de Sitter background there is no instability. We argue that one could get rid of the instabilities by introducing a mirror dark matter sector minimally coupled to only the second metric.

description: This essay analyses Demônios, a short story by the Brazilian writer Aluísio Azevedo published in 1893 in a collection bearing the same title. The text – unrelated to the naturalistic production of the author – describes a catastrophic nightmare, a carioca apocalypse reverting the evolutionary process and affecting the only two survivors, whose lives revert until they dissolve themselves in an aerial entity floating in the space. While trying to fit such an extravagant work within the production of its author, I will also explore the connection between the end of the world narrated by Azevedo as a positivist and a republican and the events involving the Brazilian republic in the early 1890s.

Subjects: Cristiada; Letteratura messicana s. XX; apocalisse

description: The collapse of social and political order provoked by the 1910 Mexican Revolution and the Cristero war (1926-1934) are two historical moments that saw the breakdown of the religious world’s certainty. Apart from the institutional conflict between Catholic church and Mexican State, the people experienced the threat of a hecatomb, the deprivation of religious protection, known and alive since the period of the Spanish conquest and colonization. This lack of a space for the community and the impossibility of expressing religious rites fed an apocalyptic vision of the world.

Not being allowed to access places of worship under the government of Plutarco Elías Calles unleashed the violent reaction of a profoundly religious people, which took arms to defend what it considered fundamental: its own ancestral tradition and a sacred space which it had been denied.

In the midst of the silences which official historiography maintained during the years following this unpleasant chapter of Mexican history, Cristero literature has constructed its own vision, an apocalyptic vision which breaks down the temporal and social boundaries within which it has been studied. The present work concentrates on the analysis of the Cristero novel which represents the Cristiada from different perspectives, one of which underlines the redeeming nature of the battle favoring the use of the apocalyptic metaphor of martyrdom.

description: The nonlinear conductance of semiconductor heterostructures and single molecule devices exhibiting Kondo physics has recently attracted attention. We address the observed sample dependence of the measured steady state transport coefficients by considering additional electronic contributions in the effective low-energy model underlying these experiments that are absent in particle-hole symmetric setups. A novel version of the superperturbation theory of Hafermann et al. in terms of dual fermions is developed, which correctly captures the low-temperature behavior. We compare our results with the measured transport coefficients.

Strictly Anomaly Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider an MSSM extension with anomaly mediation as the source of supersymmetry-breaking, and a U(1) symmetry which solves the tachyonic slepton problem, and introduces both the see-saw mechanism for neutrino masses, and the Higgs mu-term. We compare its spectra with those from so-called minimal anomaly mediated supersymmetry breaking. We find a Standard Model-like Higgs of mass 125 GeV with a gravitino mass of 140 TeV and tan(beta)=16. However, the muon anomalous magnetic moment is 3 sigma away from the experimental value. The model naturally produces a period of hybrid inflation, which can exit to a false vacuum characterised by large Higgs vevs, reaching the true ground state after a period of thermal inflation. The scalar spectral index is reduced to approximately 0.975, and the correct abundance of neutralino dark matter can be produced by decays of thermally-produced gravitinos, provided the gravitino mass (and hence the Higgs mass) is high. Naturally light cosmic strings are produced, satisfying bounds from the Cosmic Microwave Background. The complementary pulsar timing and cosmic ray bounds require that strings decay primarily via loops into gravitational waves. Unless the loops are extremely small, the next generation pulsar timing array will rule out or detect the string-derived gravitational radiation background in this model.

description: We present a $SU(5)\times U(1)_F$ supersymmetric model for neutrino masses and mixings that implements the seesaw mechanism by means of the heavy SU(2) singlets and triplets states contained in three adjoints of SU(5). We discuss how Abelian $U(1)_F$ symmetries can naturally yield non-hierarchical light neutrinos even when the heavy states are strongly hierarchical, and how it can also ensure that $R$--parity arises as an exact accidental symmetry. By assigning two flavons that break $U(1)_F$ to the adjoint representation of SU(5) and assuming universality for all the fundamental couplings, the coefficients of the effective Yukawa and Majorana mass operators become calculable in terms of group theoretical quantities. There is a single free parameter in the model, however, at leading order the structure of the light neutrinos mass matrix is determined in a parameter independent way.

description: This report assesses the opportunities within Ann Arbor for the deployment of fully autonomous vehicles (AV) and provides recommendations on which AV systems can potentially enhance sustainability of personal transportation. Throughout the course of this research, we assume automated driving capabilities have met both technical and legal requirements to ensure safe and effective fully self-driving operation on public roads (NHTSA level 4, SAE level 5). We develop a multi-disciplinary research framework to understand the broader impacts of AV systems across various dimensions. This approach involves determining the travel demand for a proposed service based on trip behavior via existing modes, designing and optimizing an AV fleet according to the service’s demand profile and drive cycle, and evaluating the AV system, and its competing modes, across a set of sustainability and system performance metrics.
Dalla distruzione alla liberazione. L’epopea della negritud in Changó, el gran putas di Manuel Zapata Olivella

description: The African diaspora - caused by the Atlantic slave trade - presented the same historical and spiritual features of the Biblical Exodus, but it was exacerbated by the fact that the colonial system carried out a planned cancellation of the identity of the enslaved subjects.

However, the American negro, through escapes and rebellions before the Independence and thereafter through a reworking of his ancestors' oral, musical and religious traditions, from an anonymous “pieza” strived to become a person again.

Fernando Ortiz and Alejo Carpentier, two intellectuals of European origin, during the 20th century discovered and gave dignity to the "third root of America" in the Caribbean area. At the end of the century, the slave trade and black slave’s redemption epics have been brought back up literarily by an afro-descending and militant writer.

Changó, el gran putas, by the Columbian Manuel Zapata Olivella (1920-2004), is a majestic description of the slave’s apocalypse in the Americas, in its meaning of apotastasy (i.e. the world going back to its primordial perfection, according to the prophecy of the orichas’s king), even if some Andean authors indigenistas, such as Cromwell Jara or Gregorio Martínez, have often visited the Afroamerican cosmogonic world.

Multi-site breathers in Klein-Gordon lattices: stability, resonances, and bifurcations

description: We prove the most general theorem about spectral stability of multi-site breathers in the discrete Klein-Gordon equation with a small coupling constant. In the anti-continuum limit, multi-site breathers represent excited oscillations at different sites of the lattice separated by a number of "holes" (sites at rest). The theorem describes how the stability or instability of a multi-site breather depends on the phase difference and distance between the excited oscillators. Previously, only multi-site breathers with adjacent excited sites were considered within the first-order perturbation theory. We show that the stability of multi-site breathers with one-site holes change for large-amplitude oscillations in soft nonlinear potentials. We also discover and study a symmetry-breaking (pitchfork) bifurcation of one-site and multi-site breathers in soft quartic potentials near the points of 1:3 resonance.

description: The myth of Urakán, the great god of the Antilles, reveals a certain persistence in Cuban literature and in Alejo Carpentier’s production ever since his first text (1917), which was a “pequeña prosa” about the importance of Caribbean cyclone (Alejo Carpentier, Entrevistas, La Habana, Letras cubanas, 1985: 254). This theme, actually, both in his ethical and aesthetic aspects, will recur frequently in his work, with the symbolic and contradictory connotation of Apocalypses.

Prospects for Detecting Gamma-Ray Bursts at Very High Energies with the Cherenkov Telescope Array

description: We discuss the prospects for the detection of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) by the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), the next generation, ground-based facility of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) operating above a few tens of GeV. By virtue of its fast slewing capabilities, the lower energy threshold compared to current IACTs, and the much larger effective area compared to satellite instruments, CTA can measure the spectra and variability of GRBs with excellent photon statistics at multi-GeV energies. Employing a model of the GRB population whose properties are broadly consistent with observations by the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) and Large Area Telescope (LAT) onboard Fermi, we simulate follow-up observations of GRBs with the Large Size Telescopes (LSTs), the component of CTA with the fastest slew speed and the best sensitivity at energies below a few hundred GeV. For our fiducial assumptions, we foresee that the LSTs can detect ~0.1 GRBs per year during the prompt phase and ~0.5 per year in the afterglow phase, considering only one array site and both GBM and the Space-based multi-band astronomical Variable Object Monitor (SVOM) as the alert instruments. The detection rates can be enhanced by a factor of about 5 and 6 for the prompt emission and the afterglow, respectively, assuming two array sites with the same sensitivity and that the GBM localization error can be reduced to less than 1 deg. The expected distribution of redshift and photon counts are presented, showing that despite the modest event rate, hundreds or more multi-GeV photons can be anticipated from a single burst once they are detected. We also study how the detection rate depends on the intrinsic GRB properties and the delay time between the burst trigger and the follow-up observation.

Terremoti in Cile. Storia e immaginazione intorno ad un evento apocalittico
Creators: name: Borri, Claudia
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2013
Subjects: Terremoto1647; Heinrich von Kleist; terremoto 2011; Juan Villoro.

description: A number of historical sources chronicle the devastating earthquake that shook the country and destroyed Santiago in 1647, during Chile’s colonial period. More than a century after, Heinrich Kleist published Das Erdbeben in Chili (1811), a fictional relation about the same cataclysm that describes the fatal destiny of two lovers. Surviving the disaster, they are lynched in a church by the fanatic faithful because of their irregular union, that would have caused the wrath and the punishment of God. Kleist’s story is cited also in 8. 8: el miedo en el espejo. Una crónica del terremoto en Chile, an eyewitness account from Mexican writer Juan Villoro, who was in Santiago in 2010, when occurred a terrible earthquake that registered 8.8 on the Richter scale. The author not only describes the people’s reactions to event, but also finds in his experience the impetus for considering how someone who escapes death, having seen it up close, can continue to live. In this context uses the Kleist’s text as a springboard for philosophical reflection on man’s destiny. A apocalyptic disaster can have unexpected consequences depending on the time and place, but also by the interpreter of the facts: in the small and isolated environment of colonial Chile, the will to resist giving in to superstition and to struggle to go on living; in Kleist’s story, abandoning comforting illusions about nature and man’s destiny; in Villoro’s account, awareness that we cannot know how and when the end of the world will arrive, but it lies in wait for us.

Visioni apocalittiche in El cuerpo de Giulia-no di Jorge Eduardo Eielson
Creators: name: Minardi, Giovanna
Publisher: name: Università degli  Studi di Milano
Year: 2013
Subjects: narrativa peruviana; Jorge Eduardo Eielson.

description: Jorge Eduardo Eielson is a well-known poet and plastic artist, but his narrative works remain little-known, even in his native Peru. El cuerpo de Giulia-no is a discontinous and elusive text. Written in the 1950s but not published until 1971 in Mexico, it is an undoubtedly innovative work which thwarts the readers’s expectations with its fragmentary composition, elliptical tendencies, and the underlying dislogue amongst literature, visual arts and science running throughout the text. Like a typical Eislson work, it is a ‘chaotic’ text, which brings together the themes of the indigenist conflict and the Apocalypse emboded by the crisis of language with elements of meta-theatre and science fiction. I focus on the parody of science fiction within the novel. The world of the future, that anticipated in science fiction, is, for Eielson, the present world. Thus he represents, in the contemporary context, the cultural conflict with the indigenous world though a sort of ‘alien’ invasion (indigenous people) which is controlled and repressed, the origins of which can be found in the history of Peru. However, through this sort of ‘ontological break’, Eielson let us see the first steps toward the foundation of a new order out of chaos.
