description: Background: DNA methylation (DNAm) is associated with gene regulation and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a measure of kidney function. Decreased eGFR is more common among US Hispanics and African Americans. The causes for this are poorly understood. We aimed to identify trans-ethnic and ethnic-specific differentially methylated positions (DMPs) associated with eGFR using an agnostic, genome-wide approach. Methods: The study included up to 5428 participants from multi-ethnic studies for discovery and 8109 participants for replication. We tested the associations between whole blood DNAm and eGFR using beta values from Illumina 450K or EPIC arrays. Ethnicity-stratified analyses were performed using linear mixed models adjusting for age, sex, smoking, and study-specific and technical variables. Summary results were meta-analyzed within and across ethnicities. Findings were assessed using integrative epigenomics methods and pathway analyses. Results: We identified 93 DMPs associated with eGFR at an FDR of 0.05 and replicated 13 and 1 DMPs across independent samples in trans-ethnic and African American meta-analyses, respectively. The study also validated 6 previously published DMPs. Identified DMPs showed significant overlap enrichment with DNase I hypersensitive sites in kidney tissue, sites associated with the expression of proximal genes, and transcription factor motifs and pathways associated with kidney tissue and kidney development. Conclusions: We uncovered trans-ethnic and ethnic-specific DMPs associated with eGFR, including DMPs enriched in regulatory elements in kidney tissue and pathways related to kidney development. These findings shed light on epigenetic mechanisms associated with kidney function, bridging the gap between population-specific eGFR-associated DNAm and tissue-specific regulatory context.

description: Stars form in dense cores of molecular clouds that are observed to be significantly magnetized. A dynamically important magnetic field presents a significant obstacle to the formation of protostellar disks. Recent studies have shown that magnetic braking is strong enough to suppress the formation of rotationally supported disks in the ideal MHD limit. Whether non-ideal MHD effects can enable disk formation remains unsettled. We carry out a first study on how disk formation in magnetic clouds is modified by the Hall effect, the least explored of the three non-ideal MHD effects in star formation (the other two being ambipolar diffusion and Ohmic dissipation). For illustrative purposes, we consider a simplified problem of a non-self-gravitating, magnetized envelope collapsing onto a central protostar of fixed mass. We find that the Hall effect can spin up the inner part of the collapsing flow to Keplerian speed, producing a rotationally supported disk. The disk is generated through a Hall-induced magnetic torque. Disk formation occurs even when the envelope is initially non-rotating, provided that the Hall coefficient is large enough. When the magnetic field orientation is flipped, the direction of disk rotation is reversed as well. The implication is that the Hall effect can in principle produce both regularly rotating and counter-rotating disks around protostars. We conclude that the Hall effect is an important factor to consider in studying the angular momentum evolution of magnetized star formation in general and disk formation in particular.

Design exploration of faster than Nyquist equalizer system
Creators: name: Matar, Mohamed
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Improving the spectral efficiency is a key challenge to meet the increasing demand for higher capacity over communication channels. Faster than Nyquist (FTN) signaling (first proposed in 1970s) has recently regained popularity due to its ability to improve signal’s spectral efficiency. FTN can achieve a symbol rate faster than Nyquist rate; therefore, it has been widely investigated in high-capacity wireless and optical communications. FTN signaling comes at the cost of intersymbol interference (ISI), which requires complex decoder at the receiver to recover the received symbol from ISI noise. This decoder is a bottleneck of the system throughput since it is on the critical path of receiving a noise free signal. Several decoders have been proposed in the literature to mitigate the ISI noise, however, these systems require a significant computational complexity to equalize the received frames. In this thesis, we propose a hardware architecture that implement an FTN decoder system. This system consists of a Maximum A-posteriori (MAP) equalizer and low-density parity (LDPC) decoder that work together iteratively to mitigate ISI noise and channel noise. The MAP equalizer is mainly responsible for equalizing ISI noise, while the LDPC decoder uses parity checks to remove random channel noise. We study the design trade-offs for each block, evaluate it separately, and propose a high-throughput hardware architecture for the FTN decoder system. We evaluate this architecture on Xilinx UltraScale+ (xcvu13p) device. Our MAP equalizer achieves a throughput up to 602 Mbps per processing element (PE). We also design an LDPC decoder that achieves a throughput of up to 520 Mbps per PE. The FTN decoder architecture achieves a throughput of up to 2.16 Gbps.

description: A new geometrical scaling method with gluon saturation rapidity limit is proposed to study the gluon saturation feature of the central rapidity region of relativistic nuclear collisions. The net-baryon number is essentially transported by valence quarks that probe the saturation regime in the target by multiple scattering. We take advantage of the gluon saturation model with geometric scaling of the rapidity limit to investigate the net baryon distributions, nuclear stopping power and gluon saturation features in the SPS and RHIC energy regions. Predictions for net-baryon rapidity distributions, the mean rapidity loss and gluon saturation feature in central Pb + Pb collisions at LHC are made in this paper.

Parsec-Scale Localization of the Quasar SDSS J1536+0441A, a Candidate Binary Black Hole System

description: The radio-quiet quasar SDSS J1536+0441A shows two broad-line emission systems, recently interpreted as a binary black hole (BBH) system with a subparsec separation; as a double-peaked emitter; or as both types of systems. The NRAO VLBA was used to search for 8.4 GHz emission from SDSS J1536+0441A, focusing on the optical localization region for the broad-line emission, of area 5400 mas^2 (0.15 kpc^2). One source was detected, with a diameter of less than 1.63 mas (8.5 pc) and a brightness temperature T_b > 1.2 x 10^7 K. New NRAO VLA photometry at 22.5 GHz, and earlier photometry at 8.5 GHz, gives a rising spectral slope of alpha = 0.35+/-0.08. The slope implies an optically thick synchrotron source, with a radius of about 0.04 pc, and thus T_b ~ 5 x 10^10 K. The implied radio-sphere at rest frame 31.2 GHz has a radius of 800 gravitational radii, just below the size of the broad line region in this object. Observations at higher frequencies can probe whether or not the radio-sphere is as compact as expected from the coronal framework for the radio emission of radio-quiet quasars.

Analysis of a 2D model of quorum sensing characterized by a transition from bistability in spatially coupled signalling compartments
Creators: name: Ridgway, Wesley (J. M.)
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Intercellular signalling and communication are used by bacteria to regulate a variety of behaviours. In a type of communication called quorum sensing (QS), bacteria adjust their behaviour at a colony-wide level in response to reaching a critical cell density. Mathematically, these changes can include the emergence of chemical oscillations as well as transitions between bistable steady-states, leading to hysteresis-like phenomena. We formulate and analyse a 2D mathematical model of the prototypical LuxI/LuxR QS system in a bacterial colony. We use a coupled cell-bulk PDE-ODE framework in which the bacteria are modelled as small `holes' of a common small radius coupled through a bulk diffusion field. The method of matched asymptotic expansions is used to construct steady-state solutions and determine linear stability properties thereof. In a colony of identical cells, we show that there are bistable equilibria and use a hybrid asymptotic-numeric approach to construct bifurcation diagrams. Linear stability is determined through the analysis of a type of nonlinear eigenvalue problem called a globally coupled eigenvalue problem (GCEP). The result of coupling the cells to a bulk diffusion field induces an 'effective' parameter that can be viewed as function of the colony population. We demonstrate QS, as well as the more general concept of efficiency sensing, when this parameter passes through a saddle-node bifurcation. In the limit of large but finite bulk diffusion, the cell-bulk system can be well-approximated by a simpler system of ODEs. This reduced system is used to study the effect of cell location on QS behaviour. Moreover, in this regime the critical population required for a 'quorum' can be computed from a simple analytical formula which offers much physical insight. We verify the predictions from asymptotic theory with full numerical solutions of the cell-bulk system and find good agreement between the two.

description: All’interno di una realtà aziendale gli acquisti sono determinanti per la creazione di valore, sia per l’azienda stessa che per il cliente finale, è quindi opportuno assicurare una corretta gestione per tutto il processo di Supply Management, con l’obiettivo di aumentare l’efficienza e l’efficacia. Noovle, azienda italiana partner di Google, Salesforce e SAP e operante nel settore della consulenza ICT e System Integration, ha appena subito un’acquisizione da parte del gruppo TIM. Questo ha portato alla necessaria revisione di molti aspetti interni tra cui il processo per la gestione degli acquisti, dal momento in cui non ne era presente uno standardizzato con la conseguenza del riscontro di criticità e inefficienze. Dopo un’analisi sullo stato attuale dell’azienda in merito alla gestione degli acquisti, che prevedeva esclusivamente alcune procedure legate alla certificazione ISO/IEC 9001 e alla classificazione degli stessi, è stato implementato un nuovo processo di Supply Management che permettesse una gestione ottimizzata con l’integrazione di alcuni KPI per la misura delle prestazioni. Il risultato è quindi un processo finale declinato in tre diagrammi BPMN implementati in una suite di Business Process Management.

description: We have studied the influence of intrinsic and extrinsic defects in the magnetic and electrical transport properties of Co-doped ZnO thin films. X ray absorption measurements show that Co substitute Zn in the ZnO structure and it is in the 2+ oxidation state. Magnetization (M) measurements show that doped samples are mainly paramagnetic. From M vs. H loops measured at 5 K we found that the values of the orbital L and spin S numbers are between 1 and 1.3 for L and S = 3/2, in agreement with the representative values for isolated Co 2+. The obtained negative values of the Curie-Weiss temperatures indicate the existence of antiferromagnetic interactions between transition metal atoms.

description: We present boundary-integral simulations of the evolution of critically charged droplets. For such droplets, small ellipsoidal perturbations are unstable and eventually lead to the formation of a "lemon"-shaped drop with very sharp tips. For perfectly conducting drops, the tip forms a self-similar cone shape with a subtended angle identical to that of a Taylor cone. At the tip, quantities such and pressure and fluid velocity diverge in time with power-law scaling. In contrast, when charge transport is described by a finite conductivity, we find that small progeny drops are formed at the tips whose size decreases as the conductivity is increased. These small progeny drops are of nearly critical charge, and are precursors to the emission of a sustained flow of liquid from the tips as observed in experiments of isolated charged drops.

description: Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM) like transcript-1 (TLT-1) is a membrane protein receptor found in α-granules of megakaryocytes and platelets. Upon platelet activation TLT-1 is rapidly relocated to the surface of platelets. In plasma, a soluble form of TLT-1 (sTLT-1) is present. Plasma levels of sTLT-1 are significantly elevated in thrombotic diseases. In the present study, we investigated to whether TLT-1 reflects platelet activation in pregnant women with preeclampsia. We studied 30 preeclamptic patients who were matched with 30 normotensive pregnant women and 30 non-pregnant controls. Basal TLT-1, P-selectin, and CD63 expressions on platelets were analyzed with the use of flow-cytometry (FCM). Platelet reactivity was induced by thrombin receptor activation peptide and determined by FCM. Plasma concentrations of sTLT-1 and soluble P-selectin (sP-selectin) were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results show that basal platelet expression of TLT-1, P-selectin and CD63 were increased in women with preeclampsia (PE) compared with normotensive pregnant women (NP). Platelets from PE women and NP women were more responsive compared to from nonpregnant women controls (NC), and which was demonstrated by increased expression of TLT-1, P-selectin, and CD63 upon stimulation in vitro. Plasma concentration of sTLT-1 was greater in PE women compared to NP women and NC women. Plasma sP-selectin level was higher in pregnant women than in nonpregnant women, but there were no significant differences between PE and NP women. In summary, our results revealed that platelet activation is prominent in preeclampsia, TLT-1 reflects platelet activation and may be a useful indicator for preeclampsia.

Drug resistance

description: Effectiveness of antiviral drugs used to treat HIV infections is limited by the evolution of drug resistance. There are two common mechanisms leading to the resistance against nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs): Selective discrimination before incorporation and excision after incorporation. In order to better understand the mechanisms of NRTI resistance, we investigated each step involved in the incorporation and excision of two NRTIs: Azidothymidine (AZT) and Tenofovir (TFV) using two RT mutants, K65R and K66R. Our results showed that the mutation of K65R does not significantly affect the ATP-mediated NRTIs excision, but rather affects the pyrophosphate-mediated NRTIs excision by decreasing the efficiency of pyrophosphate-mediated excision. Our data suggest that K65R may not prefer the ATP- or pyrophosphate-mediated excision as a mechanism to excise NRTIs leading to drug resistance. Rather, the NRTI resistance conferred by K65R is achieved mainly through the discrimination mechanism rather than through the excision mechanism. Furthermore, our results showed that the primary effect of K65R on NRTI discrimination (TFV and AZT) is to decrease the rate of the chemistry step. In addition, our results showed that the drug resistances for TFV and AZT conferred K65R are comparable. Compared with K65R, the resistance conferred by K66R is mild. We also revisited the classic two-metal-ion mechanism from analysis of enzyme kinetics and crystal structure. Our data showed that a tight binding (K [subscript d] is 0.5 μM) of the Mg²⁺ -nucleotide complex induces a conformational change of the enzyme from open to the closed state. The catalytic Mg²⁺ binds (K [subscript d] is 3.7 mM) after the conformational change. The binding of the catalytic Mg²⁺ stabilizes the Mg²⁺ -nucleotide complex in the active site and stimulates the catalysis of the reaction. In addition, our data suggested that changing the free Mg²⁺ from 10 mM to 0.25 mM significantly affects the processivity, but not the fidelity of HIVRT.

description: This paper presents an improved analysis of a structured dimension-reduction map called the subsampled randomized Hadamard transform. This argument demonstrates that the map preserves the Euclidean geometry of an entire subspace of vectors. The new proof is much simpler than previous approaches, and it offers---for the first time---optimal constants in the estimate on the number of dimensions required for the embedding.

description: BACKGROUND: suPAR (Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor) has emerged as an important biomarker of coagulation, inflammation, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. The contribution of suPAR to CVD risk and its genetic influence in Black populations have not been evaluated. METHODS: We measured suPAR in 3492 Black adults from the prospective, community-based JHS (Jackson Heart Study). Cross-sectional associations of suPAR with lifestyle and CVD risk factors were assessed, whole-genome sequence data were used to evaluate genetic associations of suPAR, and relationships of suPAR with incident CVD outcomes and overall mortality were estimated over follow-up. RESULTS: In Cox models adjusted for traditional CVD risk factors, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and CRP (C-reactive protein), each 1-SD higher suPAR was associated with a 21% to 31% increased risk of incident coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, and mortality. In the genome-wide association study, 2 missense (rs399145 encoding p.Thr86Ala, rs4760 encoding p.Phe272Leu) and 2 noncoding regulatory variants (rs73935023 within an enhancer element and rs4251805 within the promoter) of PLAUR on chromosome 19 were each independently associated with suPAR and together explained 14% of suPAR phenotypic variation. The allele frequencies of each of the four suPAR-associated genetic variants differ considerably across African and European populations. We further show that PLAUR rs73935023 can alter transcriptional activity in vitro. We did not find any association between genetically determined suPAR and CVD in JHS or a larger electronic medical record-based analyses of Blacks or Whites. CONCLUSIONS: Our results demonstrate the importance of ancestry-differentiated genetic variation on suPAR levels and indicate suPAR is a CVD biomarker in Black adults.

During the tracking of these structures, we noted that the more powerful oscillatory events are cospatial with them, indicating that observed flux tubes may be the source of many observed oscillatory events.

description: We study the self adjoint extensions of a class of non maximal multiplication operators with boundary conditions. We show that these extensions correspond to singular rank one perturbations (in the sense of \cite{AK}) of the Laplace operator, namely the formal Laplacian with a singular delta potential, on the half space. This construction is the appropriate setting to describe the Casimir effect related to a massless scalar field in the flat space time with an infinite conducting plate and in the presence of a point like "impurity". We use the relative zeta determinant (as defined in \cite{Mul} and \cite{SZ}) in order to regularize the partition function of this model. We study the analytic extension of the associated relative zeta function, and we present explicit results for the partition function, and for the Casimir force.

description: Tire-wear particles (TWPs) are being released into the environment by wearing down during car driving, and are considered an important microplastic pollution source. The chemical additive leaching from these polymer-based materials and its potential effects are likely temporally dynamic, since amounts of potentially toxic compounds can gradually increase with contact time of plastic particles with surrounding media. In the present study, we conducted soil toxicity tests using the soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans with different soil pre-incubation (30 and 75 days) and exposure (short-term exposure, 2 days; lifetime exposure, 10 days) times. Soil pre-incubation increased toxicity of TWPs, and the effective concentrations after the pre-incubation were much lower than environmentally relevant concentrations. The lifetime of C. elegans was reduced faster in the TWP treatment groups, and the effective concentration for lifetime exposure tests were 100- to 1,000-fold lower than those of short-term exposure tests. Water-extractable metal concentrations (Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in the TWP-soils showed no correlation with nominal TWP concentrations or pre-incubation times, and the incorporated metals in the TWPs may be not the main reason of toxicity in this study. Our results show that toxic effects of TWPs can be time-dependent, both in terms of the microplastic particles themselves and their interactions in the soil matrix, but also because of susceptibility of target organisms depending on developmental stage. It is vital that future works consider these aspects, since otherwise effects of microplastics and TWPs could be underestimated.

description: Durante gli anni della scuola dell’infanzia, è fondamentale far vivere al bambino esperienze concrete in modo tale che egli, con il supporto del docente e dei compagni, possa elaborarle e costruire una rappresentazione applicabile al mondo esterno. In particolare, questa ricerca si focalizza sullo sviluppo delle competenze di orientamento spaziale e su alcune relazioni spaziali nello specifico. Lo scopo è osservare come, tramite un percorso comprendente anche attività di outdoor education, che presentano una forte componente esperienziale, queste competenze si sviluppano nei bambini. I dati sono stati rilevati attraverso schede osservative di un disegno dettato e di un’intervista individuale su una situazione in 3D, entrambi somministrati a inizio e fine del percorso, che permettono un’analisi quantitativa e in parte qualitativa dei dati. I risultati mostrano come la comprensione e l’utilizzo dei termini relativi alle relazioni spaziali sia in crescita al termine del percorso, con un interessante aumento anche dell’uso dei termini non approfonditi nello specifico ma utilizzati da parte di alcuni bambini. Questo potrebbe essere riconducibile a una maggiore immersione nella complessità del pensiero spaziale. Questo lavoro di ricerca può essere un’ulteriore conferma del bisogno dei bambini di sperimentare fisicamente concetti complessi ed astratti per poterli comprendere più facilmente.

Mode analysis of numerical geodynamo models

description: It has been suggested in Hoyng (2009) that dynamo action can be analysed by expansion of the magnetic field into dynamo modes and statistical evaluation of the mode coefficients. We here validate this method by analysing a numerical geodynamo model and comparing the numerically derived mean mode coefficients with the theoretical predictions. The model belongs to the class of kinematically stable dynamos with a dominating axisymmetric, antisymmetric with respect to the equator and non-periodic fundamental dynamo mode. The analysis requires a number of steps: the computation of the so-called dynamo coefficients, the derivation of the temporally and azimuthally averaged dynamo eigenmodes and the decomposition of the magnetic field of the numerical geodynamo model into the eigenmodes. For the determination of the theoretical mode excitation levels the turbulent velocity field needs to be projected on the dynamo eigenmodes. We compare the theoretically and numerically derived mean mode coefficients and find reasonably good agreement for most of the modes. Some deviation might be attributable to the approximation involved in the theory. Since the dynamo eigenmodes are not self-adjoint a spectral interpretation of the eigenmodes is not possible.
Spatially selective photothermolysis guided by reflectance confocal microscopy for precise vessel closure in mouse eye limbus
Creators: name: Jiang, Liwei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Laser photocoagulation of corneal neovascularization (NV) is currently based on conventional selective photothermolysis in which the laser energy can be physically confined in the abnormal blood vessels by choosing appropriate wavelength and pulse duration, and thermally denatures the target vessels. However, because this technique primarily relies on the differential absorption between the targeted chromophore and its surroundings, it may not be sufficiently selective at the microscopic level. For achieving precise microscopic treatment, a spatially selective photothermolysis (SSP) method has been developed by our group utilizing femtosecond laser-based two-photon absorption under the guidance and monitoring of reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM). Since two-photon absorption occurs only at the focal volume of the treatment laser beam, the vascular target can be treated precisely while minimizing the collateral damage to surrounding tissues. In this thesis, we aim to develop an experimental setup that facilitates SSP treatment on the corneal edge of normal mice under RCM guidance. We hypothesize that our RCM imaging-guided two-photon absorption based photothermolysis system could be used for selective vessel closure in mouse limbus with minimal collateral damage to its surroundings. The video rate, high-resolution RCM imaging system was integrated with an adjustable field of view (FOV) white light imaging for target selection. A mouse head holder and an eye stabilizer were developed to reduce the involuntary movement of the mouse eye and achieve stable corneal imaging. The RCM imaging-guided SSP treatment system was developed and demonstrated to perform normal vessel closure in mouse limbus. Multiphoton microscopy (MPM) imaging, including two-photon fluorescence (TPF) imaging and second harmonic generation (SHG) imaging, has been performed before and after SSP treatment for assessing the tissue alternation within and outside the focal volume during laser irradiation. With all the successful results, we believe that the two-photon absorption based SSP method could provide precisely localized blood vessel closure on mice limbus and has great potential to be used for therapeutic applications in the treatment of corneal NV and other eye diseases such as ocular melanoma.

description: This essay is devoted to a presentation and discussion of the manner in which Buddhist offerings and donations were made in the context of Buddhism in Dunhuang (敦煌) during the 10th century. It investigates the motives for making offerings, with special attention to religious paintings and holy books. I provide several elucidating case stories for each category, as well as a number of special or unusual examples. The basic idea is to give detailed insight into the motives and typologies underlying the activities of Buddhist donors and patrons under Guiyijun rule (851–1036?, 歸義軍, Return-to-Allegiance Army).
