description: Interfacing of graphene (and other 2D materials) with biocomponents has led to its translation into a wide spectrum of applications in biotechnology, biomedicine and energy via development of a wide spectrum of novel bio-nanodevices. One of the ways to characterize graphene is using Raman spectroscopy which has shown to be a powerful tool to study materials. Although the electrical properties of graphene have been extensively studied for numerous applications including biosensing, research on graphene phononics to investigate nanobiointerface is limited. To gain insight in this field, we interfaced monolayer graphene with different cell systems - cancerous: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cells and normal: Astrocytes, and investigated the interaction using Raman spectroscopy. The 2D Raman peak of graphene with GBM cells showed a large blue shift, ~6.3 cm-1, indicating a high degree of p-doping compared to when interfaced with astrocytes, ~2.3 cm-1. This is attributed to the different metabolic activity and surface chemistry among the two cell types. Such sensitive doping of graphene is attributed to its large quantum capacitance and the surface potential of the GBM cell was calculated to be ~310 mV. Following the cell study, we then investigated different cerebrospinal fluids (CSFs) obtained from patients with diseases affecting the central nervous system (CNS) including ALS, multiple sclerosis (MS) and other forms of motor neuron diseases (MND). The CSF with ALS n-doped the graphene lattice (red-shifted the 2D peak) to a different degree compared to other disease groups (MS and MND). Hence, the graphene-bio interface could potentially be used as a diagnostic tool for detecting ALS and to monitor the progression of ALS disease. We further investigated the utilization of the graphene- bio interfaces in other fields including bioenergy. Here, we interfaced graphene (reduced graphene oxide, rGO) with electrogenic bacteria (Geobacter sulferreducens) to understand the electron transport mechanism. In this study, the high conductivity and flexibility of graphenic sheets was leveraged. The interaction of bacteria with rGO led to addition of electrons (n-doping) (~5.3 cm-1) in the rGO lattice. This interface was also studied in a microbial fuel cell (MFC) like device, where the introduction of graphene in the anode chamber resulted in an estimated 2-fold higher rate of electron transfer. In addition, the interaction of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with bacteria was characterized using Raman spectroscopy. In this study, we observed an enhancement in the bacterial peaks due to the presence of GQDs.

description: We discuss the formation of dark matter caustics, and their possible detection by future dark matter experiments. The annual modulation expected in the recoil rate measured by a dark matter detector is discussed. We consider the example of dark matter particles with a Maxwell-Boltzmann velocity distribution modified by a cold stream due to a nearby caustic. It is shown that the effect of the caustic flow is potentially detectable, even when the density enhancement due to the caustic is small. This makes the annual modulation effect an excellent probe of inner caustics. We also show that the phase of the annual modulation at low recoil energies does not constrain the particle mass unless the velocity distribution of particles in the solar neighborhood is known.

description: Equilibration and equilibration rates have been measured by colliding Sn nuclei with different isospin asymmetries at beam energies of E/A=35 MeV. Using the yields of mirror nuclei of 7Li and 7Be, we have studied the diffusion of isospin asymmetry by combining data from asymmetric 112Sn+124Sn and 124Sn+112Sn collisions with that from symmetric 112Sn+112Sn and 124Sn+124Sn collisions. We use these measurements to probe isospin equilibration in central collisions where nucleon-nucleon collisions are strongly blocked by the Pauli exclusion principal. The results are consistent with transport theoretical calculations that predict a degree of transparency in these collisions, but inconsistent with the emission of intermediate mass fragments by a single chemically equilibrated source. Comparisons with ImQMD calculations are consistent with results obtained at higher incident energies that provide constraints on the density dependence of the symmetry energy.

description: Separate fractions of middle mass molecules (MMM) from different biological fluids are involved in the pathogenetic constructions of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), depend on clinical, laboratory, X-ray and sonographic signs of the disease, can be used to predict the course of the pathological process, monitor the effectiveness of therapeutic measures and develop new medical treatment technologies. MMM are predictive components of the course of RA. The role of molecules of high and low molecular mass in the pathogenetic structures of the disease is known, and the significance of MMM of different fractions requires clarification.

The proposed method uses modified Kuiper and Kolmogorov-Smirnov distances to achieve low computational complexity and outperforms the state of the art methods based on cumulants and goodness-of-fit tests. We derive the theoretical performance of the proposed MLC method and verify it via simulations. The best classification accuracy, under AWGN with SNR mismatch and phase jitter, is achieved with the proposed MLC method using Kuiper distances.

description: A recently proposed correspondence between 4-dimensional N=2 SUSY SU(k) gauge theories on R^4/Z_m and SU(k) Toda-like theories with Z_m parafermionic symmetry is used to construct four-point N=1 super Liouville conformal block, which corresponds to the particular case k=m=2. The construction is based on the conjectural relation between moduli spaces of SU(2) instantons on R^4/Z_2 and algebras like \hat{gl}(2)_2\times NSR. This conjecture is confirmed by checking the coincidence of number of fixed points on such instanton moduli space with given instanton number N and dimension of subspace degree N in the representation of such algebra.

description: We present the results of three-dimensional general relativistic hydrodynamic simulations of adiabatic and spherically symmetric accretion in Kerr space-time. We consider compact objects with spin parameter $|a_*| \le 1$ (black holes) and with $|a_*| > 1$ (super-spinars). Our full three-dimensional simulations confirm the formation of equatorial outflows for high values of $|a_*|$, as found in our previous work in 2.5 dimensions. We show that the critical value of $|a_*|$ determining the onset of powerful outflows depends mainly on the radius of the compact object. The phenomenon of equatorial outflows can hardly occur around a black hole and may thus be used to test the bound $|a_*| \le 1$ for astrophysical black hole candidates.

Octahedral tilting, monoclinic phase and the phase diagram of PZT

description: Anelastic and dielectric spectroscopy measurements on PZT close to the morphotropic (MPB) and antiferroelectric boundaries provide new insight in some controversial aspects of its phase diagram. No evidence is found of a border separating monoclinic (M) from rhombohedral (R) phases, in agreement with recent structural studies supporting a coexistence of the two phases over a broad composition range x < 0.5, with the fraction of M increasing toward the MPB. It is also discussed why the observed maximum of elastic compliance appears to be due to a rotational instability of the polarisation and therefore cannot be explained by extrinsic softening from finely twinned R phase alone, but indicates the presence also of M phase, not necessarily homogeneous. A new diffuse transition is found within the ferroelectric phase near x ~ 0.1, at a temperature T_IT higher than the well established boundary T_T to the phase with tilted octahedra. It is proposed that around T_IT the octahedra start rotating in a disordered manner and finally become ordered below T_T. In this interpretation, the onset temperature for octahedral tilting monotonically increases up to the antiferroelectric transition of PbZrO3, and the depression of T_T(x) below x = 0.18 would be a consequence of the partial relieve of the mismatch between the cation radii with the initial stage of tilting below T_IT.

Here we consider $\frac{(aq;q)_{n}}{(abq^{2};q)_{n}}$ as a q-analogue of Catalan numbers $C_{n}=\frac1{n+1}\binom{2n}{n}$, which is known as the moments of the little q-Jacobi polynomials. We also give several proofs of this q-analogue, in which we use lattice paths, the orthogonal polynomials, or the basic hypergeometric series. We also consider a q-analogue of Schröder Hankel determinants, and give a new proof of Moztkin Hankel determinants using an addition formula for ${}_2F_{1}$.

description: Noncommutative geometry may be a starting point to a quantum gravity. We study the influence of the spacetime noncommutative parameter on the strong field gravitational lensing in the noncommutative Schwarzschild black-hole spacetime and obtain the angular position and magnification of the relativistic images. Supposing that the gravitational field of the supermassive central object of the galaxy described by this metric, we estimate the numerical values of the coefficients and observables for strong gravitational lensing. Comparing to the Reissner-Norstr\"{om} black hole, we find that the influences of the spacetime noncommutative parameter is similar to those of the charge, just these influences are much smaller. This may offer a way to distinguish a noncommutative black hole from a Reissner-Norstr\"{om} black hole, and may probe the spacetime noncommutative constant $\vartheta$ \cite{foot} by the astronomical instruments in the future.

Mapping nursing wound care data elements to SNOMED-CT
Creators: name: Block, Lorraine Joy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Documentation is a professional responsibility in nursing because it facilitates communication, promotes good nursing care, and acts as a valuable method to demonstrate that legal and agency standards are followed. Nurses are increasingly using health information technologies, such as electronic health records, to document care. To be able to measure and compare the impact of nursing on patient outcomes, standardized clinical terminologies compliant with international standards are necessary. In British Columbia, Canada, nurses use a standardized wound care template to document their assessments and the care they provide to patients; however, the content of this assessment is currently not shared in a computable format between different electronic health records within the province. The purpose of this thesis was to map wound care data elements from the BC Standardized Nursing Wound Documentation standard to SNOMED-CT. To complete this “bottom-up” mapping activity, creation of a conceptual model of knowledge representation for nursing wound care was developed to inform three concurrent methods of mapping (manual, automated, and literature comparison) for 107 data elements. These methods produced candidate lists, which were reviewed by two expert wound care clinicians who created an expert consensus list. Results of this expert consensus list indicated that 40.2% of the terms had direct matches, 1.9% had one-to-many matches, and 57.9% had no matches. The outcome of this study was the creation of a conceptual model of nursing knowledge representation for wound care, a list of mapped wound care data elements to SNOMED-CT, identification of missing and duplicate concepts in SNOMED-CT, and application of concurrent mapping methods to inform the creation of an expert consensus list. The advancement of standardized clinical terminologies to support semantic interoperability between disparate electronic health records is an important measure to ensure patient information is shared throughout the continuum of care. This thesis work provides a method to incorporate local nursing standards into SNOMED-CT, with the intent to ensure that nursing care is represented.

description: We study the dual descriptions recently discovered for the Seiberg-Witten theory in the presence of surface operators. The Nekrasov partition function for a four-dimensional N=2 gauge theory with a surface operator is believed equal to the wave-function of the corresponding integrable system, or the Hitchin system, and is identified with the conformal block with a degenerate field via the AGT relation. We verify the conjecture by showing that the null state condition leads to the Schrodinger equations of the integrable systems. Furthermore, we show that the deformed prepotential emerging from the period integrals of the principal function corresponds to monodromy operation of the conformal block. We also give the instanton partition functions for the asymptotically free SU(2) gauge theories in the presence of the surface operator via the AGT relation. We find that these partition functions involve the counting of two- and four-dimensional instantons.

Integrating GIS and BIM for community building energy design
Creators: name: Bai, Yunpiao
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Increasing urbanization has caused a corresponding increase in energy consumption from the design, construction and operation of the built environment. To achieve energy-efficient design in urban communities, the design phase needs to adopt reliable energy modeling approaches. However, current urban modeling approaches often use abstract and low level information to describe buildings because of the difficulties of collecting and managing building data on the large scale required of such urban communities. This abstraction of building data creates large uncertainties in the modeling and simulation of energy scenarios at the community level. An additional consequence is a general separation between community energy design (with low level building information) and building energy design (with high level building information). An important part of the solution to this challenge relies on the integration of information systems at the scale of both urban communities and individual buildings, which are based on Geographic Information System (GIS) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) respectively. Since current technologies do not sufficiently address the interoperability between GIS and BIM, the existing conversion between GIS and BIM does not satisfy the data requirements for community energy design. This thesis investigates this challenge and presents an approach that uses Semantic Web technologies, including OWL (Web Ontology Language) and RDF (Resource Description Framework), to integrate GIS and BIM data. In this approach, we first develop relevant design scenarios for energy consumption in buildings of the University of British Columbia (UBC) campus. Based on the scenarios and required information for the energy simulation, we create a suitable ontology to transform the data into a Semantic Web model. Then we conduct relevant queries on the transformed data to provide the required information for energy simulation of a UBC campus neighborhood that contains richer and more detailed building information that is extracted from the campus building information models. Finally, we visualize the simulation results in a three-dimensional environment and discuss how it supports designers and decision makers engaged in community planning and design.
The principle of "the constancy of the speed of light"

description: After it was confirmed by many measurements that the speed of light was constant, whatever the speed of the source or the receiver, Einstein stated the principle of “the constancy of the speed of light”, in any inertial reference frame, to developped its SR relativity theory.  In this paper we will show how the principle of "the constancy of the speed of light", in any inertial reference frame, can be demonstrated in a natural way. It will allow us to explain readily the results of Michelson Morley and Sagnac experiments.  Also, another relativity theory is presented briefly.

Are cold flows detectable with metal absorption lines?

description: [Abridged] Cold gas flowing within the "cosmic web" is believed to be an important source of fuel for star formation at high redshift. However, the presence of such filamentary gas has never been observationally confirmed. In this work, we investigate in detail whether such cold gas is detectable using low-ionisation metal absorption lines, such as CII \lambda1334 as this technique has a proven observational record for detecting gaseous structures. Using a large statistical sample of galaxies from the Mare Nostrum N-body+AMR cosmological simulation, we find that the typical covering fraction of the dense, cold gas in 10^12 Msun haloes at z~2.5 is lower than expected (~5%). In addition, the absorption signal by the interstellar medium of the galaxy itself turns out to be so deep and so broad in velocity space that it completely drowns that of the filamentary gas. A detectable signal might be obtained from a cold filament exactly aligned with the line of sight, but this configuration is so unlikely that it would require surveying an overwhelmingly large number of candidate galaxies to tease it out. Finally, the predicted metallicity of the cold gas in filaments is extremely low (\leq 0.001 Zsun). Should this result persist when higher resolution runs are performed, it would significantly increase the difficulty of detecting filamentary gas inflows using metal lines. However, even if we assume that filaments are enriched to Zsun, the absorption signal that we compute is still weak. We are therefore led to conclude that it is extremely difficult to observationally prove or disprove the presence of cold filaments as the favorite accretion mode of galaxies using low-ionisation metal absorption lines. The Ly-alpha emission route looks more promising but due to the resonant nature of the line, radiative transfer simulations are required to fully characterize the observed signal.

description: Using photolysis method, Preyssler acid, H14[NaP5W30O110], was employed in the form of composite film as a green reductant and stabilizer for the synthesis of Au nanoparticles. The synthesized Au NPs/Preyssler film was prepared by a simple and fast sol-gel method and characterized by UV-Visible spectroscopy, particle size distribution, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. Our findings showed that Au nanoparticles were obtained at about 6-11 nm and were readily inserted and monodispersed in the nanocomposite film. The photocatalytic performance of this NPs/Preyssler film was examined in decolorization of methyl orange (MeO) in aqueous media. UV-Visible studies showed that Au NPs/Preyssler film can efficiently catalyze the decolorization of the aforementioned azo dye. The pseudo-first-order rate constants were also calculated for this reaction.

description: Cercignani's conjecture assumes a linear inequality between the entropy and entropy production functionals for Boltzmann's nonlinear integral operator in rarefied gas dynamics. Related to the field of logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and spectral gap inequalities, this issue has been at the core of the renewal of the mathematical theory of convergence to thermodynamical equilibrium for rarefied gases over the past decade. In this review paper, we survey the various positive and negative results which were obtained since the conjecture was proposed in the 1980s.

description: We report on the first measurement of the angular distributions of final state electrons in $p\bar{p}\to γ^{*}/Z\to e^{+}e^{-}+X$ events produced in the $Z$ boson mass region at $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV. The data sample collected by the CDF II detector for this result corresponds to 2.1 fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. The angular distributions are studied as a function of the transverse momentum of the electron-positron pair and show good agreement with the Lam-Tung relation, consistent with a spin-1 description of the gluon, and demonstrate that at high values of the transverse momentum, $Z$ bosons are produced via quark anti-quark annihilation and quark-gluon Compton processes.
