description: Monte Carlo-transport codes are designed to simulate the complex neutron transport physics associated with nuclear systems. These codes are tasked with simulating phenomena such as temperature effects on cross-sections, thermo-physical effects, reaction rates, and kinematics. It is not computationally possible to simulate the physics of a system exactly. However, many of the approximations made by modern simulation codes have been well validated. This article investigates an impactful simulation error caused by an approximation made in many Monte Carlo-transport codes. The approximation that target-at-rest is valid for neutrons at energies 400 times that of the thermal energy of the target particle is found to be inaccurate in certain scenarios. This paper identifies such cases, notably TRISO [1] fuel and instances where fuel infiltrates the pores of graphite in Molten Salt Reactors. The breakdown of this approximation occurs particularly when there exists a small length scale between fuel, a material with absorption resonances, and moderator, a scattering material. When threshold values are too small, resonance escape probabilities can deviate by as much as 1% per resonance, forming a baseline defect. Furthermore, two distinct anomalies were observed upon temperature variation, directly attributed to the transition between target-at-rest and target-in-motion physics. Equations provided in this study offer predictions for the temperature ranges within which these anomalies occur, based on system temperature and threshold value. The recommendations put forth in this paper advocate for incorporating the threshold value as a user-defined variable in transport Monte Carlo codes employing this approximation. Additionally, users are advised to conduct convergence studies to ensure that the chosen threshold value is sufficiently high to mitigate the influence of baseline defects and anomalies.

A functional genomics approach identifies novel genes involved in steroid-hormove induced programmed cell death in Drosophila

description: Programmed Cell death (PCD) is a highly conserved and genetically controlled event that plays important roles in animal development, homeostasis and disease. Our first objective was to discover and characterize new genes involved in PCD. Since many PCD genes are conserved in Drosophila, and steroid-induced PCD of larval salivary glands (SGs) is transcriptionally regulated with features of both apoptosis and autophagy, we used this exceptionally well-suited in vivo system and performed Serial Analysis of Gene Expression (SAGE) in three pre-death stages. SAGE identified 1244 expressed transcripts, including genes involved in autophagy, apoptosis, immunity, cytoskeleton remodeling, and proteolysis. Of the 1244 transcripts, 463 transcripts belonged to knownlpredicted genes and were 5-fold differentially expressed prior to cell death. Next, we investigated the role of differentially expressed genes from SAGE, in cell death or cell survival, by RNA interference (RNAi ) in l(2)mbn haemocyte Drosophila cells. l(2)mbn cells undergo morphological changes in response to ecdysone treatment, and ultimately undergo PCD. We used cell viability, cell morphology, and apoptosis assays to identify the death-related genes and determined their ecdysone dependency and function in cell death regulation. Our RNAi screen identified six new pro-death related genes, including SH3PXJ and Soxl4, and 21 new pro-survival genes including SoxN. Identification of Soxl4 as pro-death and SoxN as pro-survival suggests that these Sox box proteins may have opposing roles in ecdysone-mediated cell death. Our final objective was to elucidate the function of CG409], a Drosophila homologue of human TNF-alpha induced proteins 8 (TNFAIP8) we identified from SAGE. We created loss-of-function and overexpression mutants of CG4091 to study gene function in vivo and employed immunoprecipitation and mass-spectrometry assays to identify proteins interacting with CG409] in vitro. We identified two proteins that are involved in n-fatty acid oxidation and several cytoskeletal proteins as interaction partners. Immunofluorescence based assays in vivo and in vitro revealed that CG409] is necessary for cytoskeletal remodeling. Further, defects in CG4091 expression affect cellular functions such as autophagy and lipid metabolism/trafficking that require an intact cytoskeleton. Together, our studies provided new insights into the molecular mechanisms involved in Drosophila SG cell death.

New material. Hosts: Platax orbicularis (Forsskål), orbicular batfish (juv); Platax teira (Forsskål), teira batfish (Ephippidae).
Site: Intestine.
Localities: P. orbicularis, Lizard Island (14°40’S, 145°28’E, June, 2005); P. teira, Baie de Sainte Marie, Nouméa, New Caledonia (22°18'216S, 166°28'573E, 07/03/2007)
Prevalence: P. orbicularis 1 of 1; P. teira 1 of 2.
Voucher specimens: QM G 230562, MNHN JNC 2125, BMNH 2010.2.10.19-21.
Discussion. Measurements are given in Table 1. This species was described from the orbicular batfish Platax orbicularis from Palau by Machida (1982), but has not been reported from the teira batfish Platax teira before, as far as we are aware. Our specimens are distinctly pyriform, and are much more similar to the descriptions of Manter (1963) from an ‘unidentified angelfish; grey in color’ from Fiji and Machida (1982) than to the description from the chaetodontid, the goldengirdled coralfish Coradion chrysozonus (Cuvier) from the southern Great Barrier Reef by Bray et al. (1994), where the worms are oval to pyriform and the vitelline fields are less densely packed. Other differences are discussed below, where we suggest that the chaetodontid worm should be recognised as a distinct species.
In connection with the record of Manter (1963) we note that although ‘angelfish’ is the typical common name used for pomacanthids, in the case of Manter’s record we suspect strongly that the fish was an ephippid. Apart from the fact that this is the only record of a Multitestis species from a pomacanthid, two pieces of evidence are relevant. First, we are not aware of any grey pomacanthids in Fiji whereas all the Platax species (the most common hosts of species of Multitestis) are certainly grey. Second, Madhavi (1972) in describing Multitestis bengalensis Madhavi, 1972 (now Neomultitestis bengalensis) referred to the host, Platax teira, as an ‘angel fish’ showing that sometimes ephippids are called ‘angel fish’. On this basis, we believe it is reasonable to suppose that the fish examined by Manter was an ephippid and probably a species of Platax.

description: Simultaneously concentrating EM waves and heat fluxes to the same target region within an on-chip system carries substantial academic research importance and practical application value. Nevertheless, existing researches are primarily aimed at the design and experimentation of concentrators for individual EM waves or temperature fields. In this work, a thermal-EM concentrator, capable of simultaneously concentrating EM waves and heat fluxes, is designed using transformation optics/thermodynamics and fabricated with engineered EM-thermal metamaterials. The concentrating effects of the proposed thermal-EM concentrator on the thermal fluxes and EM waves are verified through numerical simulations and experimental measurements, respectively, which are in good agreement with each other. Both numerically simulated and experimentally measured results demonstrate the concentrating capability of the proposed thermal-EM concentrator, which can concentrate broadband TM-polarized EM waves ranging from 8-12 GHz and heat/cold flows to the same target region within an on-chip operating environment. The thermal-EM concentrator exhibits a thermal focusing efficiency close to 100% and more than three times enhancement of the magnetic field at the designed center frequency of 10 GHz. The proposed thermal-EM concentrator can be utilized for efficient cooling for the specified component and simultaneously enhancing the EM antenna's radiation/reception efficiency within an on-chip system.

description: We discuss a simple theory for neutrino masses where the total lepton number is a local gauge symmetry spontaneously broken below the multi-TeV scale. In this context, the neutrino masses are generated through the canonical seesaw mechanism and a Majorana dark matter candidate is predicted from anomaly cancellation. We discuss in great detail the dark matter annihilation channels and find out the upper bound on the symmetry breaking scale using the cosmological bounds on the relic density. Since in this context the dark matter candidate has suppressed couplings to the Standard Model quarks, one can satisfy the direct detection bounds even if the dark matter mass is close to the electroweak scale. This theory predicts a light pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson (the Majoron) associated to the mechanism of neutrino mass. We discuss briefly the properties of the Majoron and the impact of the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis bounds.

description: Graphs have become a key tool when modeling and solving problems in different areas. The Floyd-Warshall (FW) algorithm computes the shortest path between all pairs of vertices in a graph and is employed in areas like communication networking, traffic routing, bioinformatics, among others. However, FW is computationally and spatially expensive since it requires O(n^3) operations and O(n^2) memory space. As the graph gets larger, parallel computing becomes necessary to provide a solution in an acceptable time range. In this paper, we studied a FW code developed for Xeon Phi KNL processors and adapted it to run on any Intel x86 processors, losing the specificity of the former. To do so, we verified one by one the optimizations proposed by the original code, making adjustments to the base code where necessary, and analyzing its performance on two Intel servers under different test scenarios. In addition, a new optimization was proposed to increase the concurrency degree of the parallel algorithm, which was implemented using two different synchronization mechanisms. The experimental results show that all optimizations were beneficial on the two x86 platforms selected. Last, the new optimization proposal improved performance by up to 23%.

Discussion. Measurements of the single specimen have been included in Table 1. According to Bray et al. (1994), Machida in a personal communication said he considered this species a synonym of Multitestis pyriformis. Having found one specimen that appears to us to be very distinct from M. pyriformis and which generally agrees with Machida’s (1982) description, we believe that Machida was correct originally to describe this form as a new species from Platax orbicularis off Palau. It differs from M. pyriformis in bodyshape (elongate oval vs pyriform; width 29% of body length (new specimen) to 39% (Machida’s data) vs 37– 73% - Machida (1982) fixed his worms under cover glass pressure which may (?) have exaggerated the width somewhat, so the higher figures relating to both species may be result of this fixation technique), sucker width ratio (1:0.97 (new), 0.97–1.00 (original) vs 1:1.01–1.40) and pre-testicular distance (49% (new), 52% (Machida’s data) of body-length vs 30–42%). In addition, the bulk of the cirrus-sac in M. elongatus is oriented antero-posteriorly versus mostly transverse in M. pyriformis.

description: Detecting Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and Prediabetes (PD) is a real challenge for medicine due to the absence of pathogenic symptoms and the lack of known associated risk factors. Even though some proposals for machine learning models enable the identification of people at risk, the nature of the condition makes it so that a model suitable for one population may not necessarily be suitable for another. In this article, the development and assessment of predictive models to identify people at risk for T2D and PD specifically in Argentina are discussed. First, the database was thoroughly preprocessed and three specific datasets were generated considering a compromise between the number of records and the amount of available variables. After applying 5 different classification models, the results obtained show that a very good performance was observed for two datasets with some of these models. In particular, RF, DT, and ANN demonstrated great classification power, with good values for the metrics under consideration. Given the lack of this type of tool in Argentina, this work represents the first step towards the development of more sophisticated models.

Cross layer scheduling and resource allocation algorithms for cellular wireless networks
Creators: name: Ali, Syed Hussain
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This thesis considers the problem of cross layer scheduling and radio resource allocation of multiple users in the downlink of time-slotted and frequency-slotted cellular data networks. For these networks, opportunistic scheduling algorithms improve system performance by exploiting time variations of the radio channel. Within the broader framework of opportunistic scheduling, this thesis solves three distinct problems and proposes efficient and scalable solutions for them. First, we present novel optimal and approximate opportunistic scheduling algorithms that combine channel fluctuation and user mobility information in their decision rules. The algorithms propose the use of dynamic fairness constraints. These fairness constraints adapt according to the user mobility. The optimal algorithm is an off-line algorithm that precomputes constraint values according to a known mobility model. The approximate algorithm is an on-line algorithm that relies on the future prediction of the user mobility locations in time. We show that the use of mobility information increases channel capacity. We also provide analytical bounds on the performance of the approximate algorithm. Second, this thesis presents a new opportunistic scheduling solution that maximizes the aggregate user performance subject to certain minimum and maximum performance constraints. By constraining the performance experienced by individual users, who share a common radio downlink, to some upper bounds, it is possible to provide the system operator with a better control of radio resource allocations and service differentiation among different classes of users. The proposed solution offers better performance than existing solution under practical channel conditions. Finally, we present a dynamic subcarrier allocation solution for fractional frequency reuse in multicell orthogonal frequency division multiple access systems. We formulate the subcarrier allocation as an equivalent set partitioning problem and then propose an efficient hierarchical solution which first partitions subcarriers into groups and next schedules subcarriers opportunistically to users. Simulation results for three solutions illustrate the usefulness of the proposed schemes.

description: Extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) are one of the primary targets for the recently adopted millihertz gravitational-wave (GW) observatory LISA. Some previous studies have argued that a fraction of all EMRIs form in matter-rich environments, and can potentially explain the dozens of soft X-ray band ($\sim 10^{-1} \rm keV$), low-frequency ($\sim 0.1$ mHz) periodic phenomena known as quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) and quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs). Here, using a representative EMRI population retrofitted with cutoffs on LISA-band SNRs and luminosity distances to account for the sensitivity of current instruments, we estimate the mean frequency band in which QPEs and QPOs originating from detectable LISA EMRIs may be emitting an X-ray signal ``today'' (i.e., in 2024) to be $0.46 \pm 0.22$ mHz. We also model the well-known QPO source, RE J1034+396, which falls in this frequency band, as an EMRI assuming its primary black hole mass to be $10^6-10^7 M_\odot$. Through a prior-predictive analysis, we estimate the orbiting compact object's mass to be $46^{+ 10}_{-40} M_\odot$ and the source's LISA-band SNR as $\approx 14$, highlighting it as a candidate multi-messenger EMRI target. We also highlight the role of current and near-future X-ray and UV observatories in enabling multi-messenger observations of EMRIs in conjunction with LISA, and conclude with a discussion of caveats of the current analysis, such as the exclusion of eccentricity and inclination from the model, and the measurability of sub-solar mass compact object EMRIs.

description: Uncertainty modeling has become increasingly important in power system decision-making. The widely-used tractable uncertainty modeling method-chance constraints with Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) approximation, can be overconservative and even turn an originally feasible problem into an infeasible one. This paper proposes a new approximation method for multiple joint chance constraints (JCCs) to model the uncertainty in dispatch problems, which solves the conservativeness and potential infeasibility concerns of CVaR. The proposed method is also convenient for controlling the risk levels of different JCCs, which is necessary for power system applications since different resources may be affected by varying degrees of uncertainty or have different importance to the system. We then formulate a data-driven distributionally robust chance-constrained programming model for the power system multiperiod dispatch problem and leverage the proposed approximation method to solve it. In the numerical simulations, two small general examples clearly demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method, and the results of the multiperiod dispatch problem on IEEE test cases verify its practicality.

Simulation and analysis of coupled surface and grain boundary motion
Creators: name: Pan, Zhenguo
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: At the microscopic level, many materials are made of smaller and randomly oriented grains. These grains are separated by grain boundaries which tend to decrease the electrical and thermal conductivity of the material. The motion of grain boundaries is an important phenomenon controlling the grain growth in materials processing and synthesis. Mathematical modeling and simulation is a powerful tool for studying the motion of grain boundaries. The research reported in this thesis is focused on the numerical simulation and analysis of a coupled surface and grain boundary motion which models the evolution of grain boundary and the diffusion of the free surface during the process of grain growth. The “quarter loop” geometry provides a convenient model for the study of this coupled motion. Two types of normal curve velocities are involved in this model: motion by mean curvature and motion by surface diffusion. They are coupled together at a triple junction. A front tracking method is used to simulate the migration. To describe the problem, different formulations are presented and discussed. A new formulation that comprises partial differential equations and algebraic equations is proposed. It preserves arc length parametrization up to scaling and exhibits good numerical performance. This formulation is shown to be well-posed in a reduced, linear setting. Numerical simulations are implemented and compared for all formulations. The new formulation is also applied to some other related problems. We investigate numerically the linear stability of the travelling wave solutions for the quarter loop problem and a simple grain boundary motion problem for both curves in two dimensions and surfaces in three dimensions. The numerical results give evidence that they are convectively stable. A class of high order three-phase boundary motion problems are also studied. We consider a region where three phase boundaries meet at a triple junction and evolve with specified normal velocities. A system of partial differential algebraic equations (PDAE) is proposed to describe this class of problems by extending the discussion for the coupled surface and grain boundary motion. The linear well-posedness of the system is analyzed and numerical simulations are performed.
A model for galaxy-galaxy strong lensing statistics in surveys

description: Photometric wide-area observations in the next decade will be capable of detecting a large number of galaxy-scale strong gravitational lenses, increasing the gravitational lens sample size by orders of magnitude. To aid in forecasting and analysis of these surveys, we construct a flexible model based on observed distributions for the lens and source properties and test it on the results of past lens searches, including SL2S, SuGOHI and searches on the COSMOS HST and DES fields. We use this model to estimate the expected yields of some current and planned surveys, including Euclid Wide, Vera Rubin LSST, and Roman High Latitude Wide Area. The model proposed includes a set of free parameters to constrain on the identifiability of a lens in an image, allowing construction of prior probability distributions for different lens detection methods. The code used in this work is made publicly available.

description: Jedediella gen. nov.
Type species Jedediella horneri sp. nov.
Diagnosis. Idiosoma oval, dorsally domed and strongly sclerotised. Dorsal and marginal shields completely separated, all dorsal setae needle-like. Surface of dorsal and ventral shields smooth, caudal region of dorsal shield bearing a large depression. Genital shield of female ornamented by oval pits. Peritremes L-shaped. Leg I without ambulacral claws, and with smooth setae. Ventral surface of hypostome with small, spine-like structures in the deutosternal groove. Hypostomal setae h1 very long and marginally pilose, h2 smooth or marginally pilose, h3 and h4 marginally pilose. Internal malae narrow, setiform, very long, marginally pilose. Chelicerae long and narrow, fixed digit of chelicerae as long as movable digit, medial part without teeth, movable digit bearing one large tooth on apical area, fixed digit with a bulbiform sensory organ on anterolateral region. Internal sclerotised node absent on chelicerae.
Etymology. We dedicate the new genus to Jedediah Strong Smith (January 6, 1799 – May 27, 1831), who was a hunter, cartographer and explorer of the Rocky Mountains and other regions of the American west coast and southwest. The new species was collected in Jedediah Smith State Park, California. Gender. Feminine.
Notes on the genus. Similar long, narrow and smooth chelicerae can be found only in the genus Hutufeideria Hirschmann & Hiramatsu, 1977. The most important differences between Jedediella gen. nov. and Hutufeideria are presented in the Table 1. The chelicerae of other known Uropodina without internal sclerotised cheliceral nodes are shorter and wider, the fixed digit longer than the movable digit, often bearing teeth on the medial area of both digits and an apical process on the fixed digit. In contrast, in the new genus the fixed digit is as long as the movable digit, the chelicerae are long and narrow, they lack teeth on the medial area, and there is no apical process on the fixed digit.
Unfortunately uropodine families Uropodina are not well defined, and the classification system of Uropodina is quite confusing. We provisionally place the new genus into the family Uropodidae on the basis of the following characters: long h1 setae; chelicerae without internal sclerotised node and without mushroom- or flower-shaped sensory organ on fixed digit; terminally smooth corniculi (Lindquist et al., 2009). We note that all members of this family need revision.
