description: Extending the population synthesis method to isolated young cooling white dwarfs we are able to confront our model assumptions with observations made in ROSAT All-Sky Survey (Fleming et al., 1996). This allows us to check model parameters such as evolution of spectra and separation of heavy elements in DA WD envelopes. It seems like X-ray spectrum temperature of these objects is given by the formula T_{X-ray} = min(T_eff, T_max). We have obtained DA WD's birth rate and upper limit of the X-ray spectrum temperature: DA birth rate $= 0.61\times 10^{-12}$ in cubic parsec per year and T_max = 41000 K. These values are in good correspondence with values obtained by other authors (Liebert et al., 2004; Wolff et al., 1996). From this fact we also conclude that our population synthesis method is applicable to the population of close-by isolated cooling white dwarfs as well as to the population of the isolated cooling neutron stars.

Stories of contemporary Métis identity in British Columbia : ‘troubling’ discourses of race, culture, and nationhood
Creators: name: Legault, Gabrielle Monique
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Politicians, the Canadian judiciary, Métis citizens, and scholars have attempted to develop definitions for the term ‘Métis,’ arguing that until there is agreement on the definition of ‘Métis’ and requirements for citizenship and homeland boundaries are agreed upon, the Métis will not be able to capitalize on self-government opportunities (Belcourt, 2013; Chartrand, 2001). However, the ongoing inter and intra-community conflicts regarding Métis identity suggest that there remains a lack of consensus over the appropriate use of the term ‘Métis’. This study argues for a re-thinking of current understandings of Métis identity as inherent and singular. Instead, Métis identity can be understood as a socially constructed phenomenon, whereby collective and individual Métis senses of selves have developed throughout history by drawing on contemporaneous dominant discourses and are thus, performative in nature. Employing an indigenist research methodology that centres relational accountability, this study involved interviewing 20 Métis people residing in British Columbia’s Southern Interior Region to understand the ways in which people identify as Métis in BC. Employing methods such as Critical Discourse Analysis and Narrative Analysis, participant narratives as well as the scholarly, legal, and political texts that inform contemporary constructions of ‘Métis’ were explored, with three dominant discourses centred on racialized, ethno-cultural, and nation-based definitions of Métis emerging. Participants’ stories illustrate not only the ways in which dominant discourses of ‘Métisness’ are reproduced, cited, and reified, but also suggest that some Métis people attempt to subvert dominant discourses through a refusal to identify with particular discourses. The diversity of experiences identifying as Métis demonstrate that there are distinct differences between the rigid identities that are constructed and expected by decision-makers and the fluid realities of Métis identities, thereby undermining assumptions of Métis identities as fixed, instrumental, passive, and power-neutral in lieu of poststructuralist notions of identity as constructed, fluid, incomplete, and thus, continuously evolving.

description: We present high resolution images of the bipolar outflow from W51e2, which are produced from the Submillimeter Array archival data observed for CO(3-2) and HCN(4-3) lines with angular resolutions of 0.8" x 0.6" and 0.3" x 0.2", respectively. The images show that the powerful outflow originates from the protostellar core W51e2-E rather than from the ultracompact HII region W51e2-W. The kinematic timescale of the outflow from W51e2-E is about 1000 yr, younger than the age (~5000 yr) of the ultracompact HII region W51e2-W. A large mass loss rate of ~1 x 10^{-3} M_sun yr^{-1} and a high mechanical power of 120 L_sun are inferred, suggesting that an O star or a cluster of B stars are forming in W51e2-E. The observed outflow activity along with the inferred large accretion rate indicates that at present W51e2-E is in a rapid phase of star formation.

description: We compute the three-point correlation function of primordial scalar density perturbations in a general single-field inflationary scenario, where a scalar field phi has a direct coupling with the Ricci scalar R and the Gauss-Bonnet term GB. Our analysis also covers the models in which the Lagrangian includes a function non-linear in the field kinetic energy X=-(nabla phi)^2/2, and a Galileon-type field self-interaction G(phi, X)*(Box phi), where G is a function of phi and X. We provide a general analytic formula for the equilateral non-Gaussianity parameter f_{NL}^{equil} associated with the bispectrum of curvature perturbations. A quasi de Sitter approximation in terms of slow-variation parameters allows us to derive a simplified form of f_{NL}^{equil} convenient to constrain various inflation models observationally. If the propagation speed of the scalar perturbations is much smaller than the speed of light, the Gauss-Bonnet term as well as the Galileon-type field self-interaction can give rise to large non-Gaussianities testable in future observations. We also show that, in Brans-Dicke theory with a field potential (including f(R) gravity), f_{NL}^{equil} is of the order of slow-roll parameters as in standard inflation driven by a minimally coupled scalar field.

description: We systematically study supersymmetry breaking with non-vanishing F and D terms. We classify the models into two categories and find that a certain class of models necessarily has runaway behavior of scalar potential, while the other needs the Fayet-Iliopoulos term to break supersymmetry. The latter class is useful to have a simple model of gauge mediation where the vacuum is stable everywhere and the gaugino mass is generated at the one-loop order.

description: Nonclassicality in the sense of quantum optics is a prerequisite for entanglement in multi-mode radiation states. In this work we bring out the possibilities of passing from the former to the latter, via action of classicality preserving systems like beamsplitters, in a transparent manner. For single mode states, a complete description of nonclassicality is available via the classical theory of moments, as a set of necessary and sufficient conditions on the photon number distribution. We show that when the mode is coupled to an ancilla in any coherent state, and the system is then acted upon by a beamsplitter, these conditions turn exactly into signatures of NPT entanglement of the output state. Since the classical moment problem does not generalize to two or more modes, we turn in these cases to other familiar sufficient but not necessary conditions for nonclassicality, namely the Mandel parameter criterion and its extensions. We generalize the Mandel matrix from one-mode states to the two-mode situation, leading to a natural classification of states with varying levels of nonclassicality. For two--mode states we present a single test that can, if successful, simultaneously show nonclassicality as well as NPT entanglement. We also develop a test for NPT entanglement after beamsplitter action on a nonclassical state, tracing carefully the way in which it goes beyond the Mandel nonclassicality test. The result of three--mode beamsplitter action after coupling to an ancilla in the ground state is treated in the same spirit. The concept of genuine tripartite entanglement, and scalar measures of nonclassicality at the Mandel level for two-mode systems, are discussed. Numerous examples illustrating all these concepts are presented.

Synthesis of bioactive natural products
Creators: name: Zheng, Zehua
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Crude extracts of the rare macrofungus Serpula sp. collected from a wooded area in Sri Lanka showed antimicrobial activity. The novel fungal metabolite serpulanine (2.1) was isolated from the crude extract in very small amounts along with a number of additional secondary metabolites. In order to obtain sufficient quantities of serpulanine (2.1) for biological evaluation, a synthetic route was developed to the natural product and a small library of analogs that have been evaluated in a panel of bioassays. Serpulanine (2.1) inhibits the histone deacetylase I/II with a clear dose response curve. Halitoxins (3.1) that are frequently isolated from marine sponges have a complex macrocyclic chemical structure made of different numbers of monomeric alkylpyridinium units. An unknown halitoxin-related natural product named alotau potently inhibited the dephosphorylation activity of calcineurin. With the goal to elucidate the structure of alotau, compounds of one, two and three pyridinium rings (3.10, 3.7 and 3.8) were synthesized. Though these compounds have NMR spectra similar to the natural alotau, according to bioassay results, none of them recapitulates the activity of the unknown natural product alotau. (+)-Makassaric acid 4.1 was isolated in the Andersen Lab from the marine sponge Acanthodendrilla sp. It showed promising activity in a zebrafish screen for new drugs to treat stroke patients. The convergent synthetic scheme shown below was undertaken to conduct structure activity relationship (SAR) studies. The key intermediate 4.17 has been obtained, and further synthetic efforts will be needed to produce 4.1.

description: We review the recent developments in applying holographic methods to understand non-equilibrium physics in strongly coupled field theories. The emphasis will be on elucidating the relation between evolution of quantum field theories perturbed away from equilibrium and the dual picture of dynamics of classical fields in black hole backgrounds. In particular, we discuss the linear response regime, the hydrodynamic regime and finally the non-linear regime of interacting quantum systems. We also describe how the duality might be used to learn some salient aspects of black hole physics in terms of field theory observables.

description: We derive a zero-range pseudopotential that includes all possible terms up to sixth order in derivatives. Within the Hartree-Fock approximation, it gives the average energy that corresponds to a quasi-local nuclear Energy Density Functional (EDF) built of derivatives of the one-body density matrix up to sixth order. The direct reference of the EDF to the pseudopotential acts as a constraint that divides the number of independent coupling constants of the EDF by two. This allows, e.g., for expressing the isovector part of the functional in terms of the isoscalar part, or vice versa. We also derive the analogous set of constraints for the coupling constants of the EDF that is restricted by spherical, space-inversion, and time-reversal symmetries.

Social shocks in social-ecological systems : the impacts of sea cucumber booms for coastal communities in Mexico
Creators: name: Kaplan-Hallam, Maery
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: In a world of growing interconnectivity, global scale social processes drive local-level change at ever-faster rates, shaping the challenges and opportunities faced by communities. Yet, literature on vulnerability and adaptation within social-ecological systems (SES) scholarship has largely centred on climate change and associated biophysical stressors. Key theoretical shortcomings are twofold. First, in SES scholarship, there has been limited engagement with non-climate anthropogenic drivers of change and characterization of how other social drivers impact communities and the larger social-ecological system in which communities are nested. Second, there has been less consideration of the differing timescales of change, resulting in a scholarship that is under-theorized in terms of how communities experience and respond to shocks (e.g., hurricanes, volatility in international markets, military coups) versus trends (e.g., rising ocean temperatures, urbanization). This thesis seeks to address these shortcomings by exploring the impacts of socially driven shocks in a coastal community, including implications for vulnerability and adaptation. Specifically, through a qualitative case study of a fishing community on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, I investigate how a rapidly developed sea cucumber fishery, triggered by rising demand from international seafood markets, drives dramatic change in the social structure, functioning and feedbacks within the community. I demonstrate how the emergence of sea cucumber fishing has driven novel and rapid change in the community, introducing new stressors such as poaching and violent conflict, while exacerbating pressures from ongoing trends of population increase and overfishing of other commercially valuable species. Results suggest that this spike in pressure on the social system has impacted vulnerability and challenged the capacity of local institutions to respond adaptively. This includes a decreased capacity to manage local resources and increased risks to livelihoods for fishers. By attending to social drivers of rapid change in coastal SES, this research contributes to scholarship on multiple stressors and their contributions to local vulnerability. Finally, by focusing on the impacts of change on the structure, functions and feedbacks of social systems, I provide a framework that aligns with existing SES thinking and language while creating space for a more robust engagement with the social dimensions of these linked systems.

FOXM1 Modulates Treatment Outcomesin Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patients with NPM1 mutations, known to cause aberrant cytoplasmic re-localization, demonstrate a superior response to standard chemotherapy treatment. Early data from my mentor Dr. Gartel’s lab established the importance of the physical interaction of these NPM and FOXM1 in cancer cells. We first wanted to link this well-documented favorable outcome of NPM1 mutant AML to the cytoplasmic re-localization and inactivation of FOXM1. We then went on to confirm the important role of FOXM1 in increased chemo-resistance in AML. A multi-institution retrospective study was conducted to link FOXM1 expression to clinical outcomes in AML. We established nuclear FOXM1 as an independent clinical predictor of chemotherapeutic resistance in intermediate-risk AML in a multivariate analysis incorporating standard clinicopathologic risk factors. Using in vitro assays we showed that manipulation of nuclear FOXM1 affected the clonogenic activity of AML cells. In order to further prove a potential role for FOXM1 in AML chemo-resistance, we induced a FOXM1-overexpressing transgenic mouse model of leukemia and demonstrated significantly higher residual disease after standard chemotherapy. This suggests that constitutive overexpression of FOXM1 in this model induces chemo-resistance. Finally, we performed proof of principle experiments using a currently approved drug ‘Ixazomib’ to target FOXM1 and demonstrated a therapeutic response in patient samples and animal models of AML that correlates with the suppression of FOXM1 and its transcriptional targets. The addition of low doses of Ixazomib increases sensitization of AML cells to standard chemotherapy. Our results underscore the importance of FOXM1 in AML treatment outcomes and suggest targeting it may have therapeutic benefit in combination with standard AML therapies.

description: Recent observations show that the measured rates of star formation in the early universe are insufficient to produce re-ionization, and therefore, another source of ionizing photons is required. In this \emph{Letter}, we examine the possibility that these can be supplied by the fast accretion shocks formed around the cores of the most massive haloes ($10.5< \log M/M_{\odot} < 12$) on spatial scales of order 1 kpc. We model the detailed physics of these fast accretion shocks, and apply these to a simple 1-D spherical hydrodynamic accretion model for baryonic infall in dark matter halos with an Einasto density distribution. The escape of UV photons from these halos is delayed by the time taken to reach the critical accretion shock velocity for escape of UV photons; 220 km s$^{-1}$, and by the time it takes for these photons to ionize the surrounding baryonic matter in the accretion flow. Assuming that in the universe at large the baryonic matter tracks the dark matter, we can estimate the epoch of re-ionization in the case that accretion shocks act alone as the source of UV photons. We find that 50% of the volume (and 5-8% of the mass) of the universe can be ionized by $z \sim 7-8$. The UV production rate has an uncertainty of a factor of about 5 due to uncertainties in the cosmological parameters controlling the development of large scale structure. Because our mechanism is a steeply rising function of decreasing redshift, this uncertainty translates to a re-ionization redshift uncertainty of less than $\pm0.5$. We also find that, even without including the UV photon production of stars, re-ionization is essentially complete by $z \sim 5.8$. Thus, fast accretion shocks can provide an important additional source of ionizing photons in the early universe.

description: Ruling out the inverted neutrino hierarchy with neutrinoless double beta decay experiments is possible if a limit on the effective mass below the minimal theoretically possible value is reached. We stress that this lower limit depends strongly on the value of the solar neutrino mixing angle: it introduces an uncertainty of a factor of 2 within its current 3 sigma range. If an experiment is not background-free, a factor of two in effective mass corresponds to a combined factor of 16 improvement for the experimental parameters running time, detector mass, background level and energy resolution. Therefore, a more precise determination of theta(12) is crucial for the interpretation of experimental results and the evaluation of the potential and requirements for future experiments. We give the required half-lifes to exclude (and touch) the inverted hierarchy regime for all double beta decay isotopes with a Q-value above 2 MeV. The nuclear matrix elements from 6 different groups and, if available, their errors are used and compared. We carefully put the calculations on equal footing in what regards various convention issues. We also use our compilation of matrix elements to give the reachable values of the effective mass for a given half-life value.

description: In 2017, the state of Illinois implements Handicapping Labio-Lingual Deviation Index (HLD) as a system to determine severe malocclusion of children they will cover for orthodontic treatment. This index evaluates 13 factors and occlusal traits, such as overjet, overbite. These factors are weighted to provide a final score that is used to determine access to care and insurance coverage. Insurance claim submission process for DentaQuest insurance company required patient digital records and scored HLDI sheet by orthodontist. A board of case assessors at DentaQuest Medicaid insurance company will assess the cases provide the result. Objective: The aims of this study are to assess the reliability of two different scoring methods of HLDI visual Inspection (VI) and 3D Digital measurements (CAD). Determine the association between VI and MCO-DQ HLDI assessment and the association between the CAD and MCQ-DQ HLDI assessment. Hypothesis: There is no association between approval/denial determination via VI and digital casts CAD HLDI assessment. There is no association between approval/denial determination via VI and Medicaid MCO-DQ HLDI assessment. There is no association between approval/denial determination via CAD and Medicaid HLDI MCO-DQ assessment. Methods: Digital records were obtained from 401 insurance submitted patients by UIC Orthodontics clinic, HLDI measurements were completed via visual inspection of the intra oral photos. The same 401 subjects measured again by digital dental cast via OrthoCad software. Final score results were compared to each other and compared to DentaQuest result. The non-parametric statistical analysis was performed at p=0.05. Results: VI and CAD, Cramer’s V test was (0.845) and Kappa test was (0.803), indicating strong association and agreement. MCO-DQ and CAD, Cramer’s V test was (0.318) and Kappa test was (0.312), indicating low association and agreement. Conclusions: There is substantial association between approval/denial determination via VI and digital casts CAD HLDI assessment. There is a low level of association between approval/denial determination via VI and Medicaid MCO-DQ HLDI assessment. There is a low level of association between approval/denial determination via CAD and Medicaid HLDI MCO-DQ assessment.

description: Separation of charges along the extreme magnetic field created in non-central relativistic heavy--ion collisions is predicted to be a signature of local parity violation in strong interactions. We report on results for charge dependent two particle azimuthal correlations with respect to the reaction plane for Pb--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2.76$ TeV recorded in 2010 with ALICE at the LHC. The results are compared with measurements at RHIC energies and against currently available model predictions for LHC. Systematic studies of possible background effects including comparison with conventional (parity-even) correlations simulated with Monte Carlo event generators of heavy--ion collisions are also presented.

Walk the Talk : the association between older adult mobility and the built environment
Creators: name: Chudyk, Anna M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Mobility is vital to healthy aging. The built environment is central to mobility as it is the setting where mobility occurs. Older adults of low socioeconomic status (SES) may be especially reliant on built environments that support non-motorized mobility. Despite this, older adults of low SES are underrepresented in research. Therefore, this dissertation applies quantitative methods to describe the mobility (capacity and enacted function) and investigate the association between the built environment and non-motorized mobility (walking for transportation and physical activity) of older adults of low income. The studies within this dissertation are set in Metro Vancouver; the last three utilize data from a cross-sectional study of 161 older adults of low income. The first study investigates the reliability of a novel approach (virtual audits) for measuring the built environment. I found that virtual audits reliably measure macroscale (neighbourhood-level) built environment features that promote older adult walking, but may be inappropriate for measuring fine-grain details of the microscale (street-level) built environment. The second study provides an in-depth description of the mobility of older adults living on low income. I noted that participants generally had the capacity to be mobile and made a high proportion of walking trips, although these did not together serve to meet physical activity guidelines for most. The third study analyzes travel diary data to identify destinations that older adults most commonly visit in a week (i.e., grocery stores, malls, restaurants/cafes); I also found that each 10-point increase in Street Smart Walk Score (measure of the built environment) was associated with a 20% increase in walking for transportation (IRR = 1.20, 95% CI = 1.12, 1.29). The fourth study analyzes accelerometry and self-report data to investigate associations between the built environment and physical activity and walking for transportation. Odds of any walking for transportation were 1.45 (95% CI = 1.18, 1.78) times greater for each 10-point increase in Street Smart Walk Score. There were no other built environment-mobility associations. Taken collectively, these studies fill methodological gaps in the literature and provide data on an understudied population that may be especially reliant on built environments that support walking.

We derive the quadrupole moment current and continuity equation and study a high-spin valve structure consisting of two ferromagnets coupled to a quantum dot probing an impurity spin. The quadrupole back-action on their coupled spin results in spin torques and anisotropic spin relaxation which do not follow from standard spin current considerations. We demonstrate the detection of the impurity spin by charge transport and its manipulation by electric fields.

description: We study edge states of non-centrosymmetric superconductors where spin-singlet d-wave pairing mixes with spin-triplet p (or f)-wave one by spin-orbit coupling. For dxy-wave pairing, the obtained Andreev bound state has an anomalous dispersion as compared to conventional helical edge modes. A unique topologically protected time-reversal invariant Majorana fermion appears at the edge. The charge conductance in the non-centrosymmetric superconductor junctions reflects the anomalous structures of the dispersions, particularly the time-reversal invariant Majorana fermion is manifested as a zero bias conductance peak.

description: We show that the newly measured branching ratios of vector charmonia ($J/ψ$, $ψ^\prime$ and $ψ(3770))$ into $γP$, where $P$ stands for light pseudoscalar mesons $π^0$, $η$, and $η^\prime$, can be well understood in the framework of vector meson dominance (VMD) in association with the $η_c$-$η(η^\prime)$ mixings due to the axial gluonic anomaly. These two mechanisms behave differently in $J/ψ$ and $ψ^\prime\to γP$. A coherent understanding of the branching ratio patterns observed in $J/ψ(ψ^\prime)\to γP$ can be achieved by self-consistently including those transition mechanisms at hadronic level. The branching ratios for $ψ(3770)\toγP$ are predicted to be rather small.

Assessment of type II diabetes mellitus

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Several methods have been proposed to evaluate a person's insulin sensitivity (ISI). However, all are neither easy nor inexpensive to implement. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to develop a new ISI that can be easily and accurately obtained by patients themselves without costly, time consuming and inconvenient testing methods. In this thesis, the proposed testing method has been simulated on the computerized model of the type II diabetic-patients to estimate the ISI. The proposed new ISI correlates well with the ISI called M-value obtained from the gold standard but elaborate euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp (r = 0.927, p = 0.0045). In this research, using a stochastic nonlinear state-space model, the insulin-glucose dynamics in type II diabetes mellitus is modeled. If only a few blood glucose and insulin measurements per day are available in a non-clinical setting, estimating the parameters of such a model is difficult. Therefore, when the glucose and insulin concentrations are only available at irregular intervals, developing a predictive model of the blood glucose of a person with type II diabetes mellitus is important. To overcome these difficulties, under various levels of randomly missing clinical data, we resort to online Sequential Monte Carlo estimation of states and parameters of the state-space model for type II diabetic patients. This method is efficient in monitoring and estimating the dynamics of the peripheral glucose, insulin and incretins concentration when 10%, 25% and 50% of the simulated clinical data were randomly removed. Variabilities such as insulin sensitivity, carbohydrates intake, exercise, and more make controlling blood glucose level a complex problem. In patients with advanced TIIDM, the control of blood glucose level may fail even under insulin pump therapy. Therefore, building a reliable model-based fault detection (FD) system to detect failures in controlling blood glucose level is critical. In this thesis, we propose utilizing a validated robust model-based FD technique for detecting faults in the insulin infusion system and detecting patients organ dysfunction. Our results show that the proposed technique is capable of detecting disconnection in insulin infusion systems and detecting peripheral and hepatic insulin resistance.

description: Characteristic features of processes mediated by gauge bosons are discussed in the framework of theories with large extra dimensions. It is shown that if gauge bosons propagate in the bulk, then there arises a destructive interference not only between W and W' (or Z and Z'), but also between W' and Z' and the Kaluza-Klein towers of higher excitations of W and Z bosons respectively. Specific calculations are made and plotted for the LHC with the center of mass energy 14 TeV.

description: A Scintillator Deposited CCD (SDCCD) is a wide-band X-ray detector consisting of a CCD and a scintillator directly attached to each other. We assembled the newly developed SDCCD that the scintillator CsI(Tl) is below the fully depleted CCD. The incident X-rays enter the CCD depletion layer first. Then, X-rays passing through the depletion layer are absorbed in the CsI(Tl). The contact surface of the CCD is a back-illuminated side so that we can have good light collection efficiency. In our experimental setup, we confirmed good performance of our SDCCD detecting many emission lines up to 88\,keV that comes from $^{109}$Cd.

Light Attenuating Artificial Iris: Implantable and Contact Lens Designs

description: Purpose Excessive light exposure leads to photophobia, glare and poor vision in patients with congenital or trauma induced iris damage. Commercial artificial irises provide aesthetics without restoring the natural iris’s dynamic response to light. Novel artificial irises were developed in both implantable and contact lens forms using a photochromic material within a biocompatible polymer matrix. Photochromic materials activate by light to change opacity and diminish light transmission. Methods The implantable artificial iris was created by reshaping Photopia, a photo-responsive material in polyethylene (Matsui International), into annular disks and spin-coating a layer of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS, Sylgard 184, Sigma) on both sides. Another photochromic material, DEA powder, dissolved in acetone was combined with PDMS and underwent a 4-day wash cycle to form the artificial iris contact lens. Optical properties including the kinetics of activation and reversal, and percent light attenuation were measured using an UV/Vis Spectrophotometer for wavelengths 300-700nm. Both prototypes were subjected to in vitro cell toxicity experiments and in vivo rabbit implant studies for up to 1 month. In vitro cells were stained with a live/dead viability assay and imaged using confocal microscopy. Potential leaching of photo-responsive materials from the prototypes was quantified. Results The implantable artificial iris showed activation by UV and blue light in 5 seconds and reversal in 1 minute with graded attenuation up to 40% of visible and 60% of UV light. 30% cell death was seen with exposure to Photopia alone but no significant death for the implantable artificial iris compared to control. NMR determined no apparent leakage of potentially toxic Photopia from the device. The artificial iris contact lens demonstrated activation and reversal of DEA by blue light in 1 second with absorption of 40% of incident light in both the UV and visible light range. 90% cell viability with normal morphology and proliferation was observed for cells exposed to the contact lens. Degradation studies showed leaching of less than 0.5% DEA. Conclusions The combination of a photochromic material in a PDMS polymer matrix provides a new artificial iris design. Our implantable and contact lens artificial irises mimic natural iris functionality with their quick reversible activation to attenuate light entering the eye. The implantable artificial iris provides permanent relief from the adverse effects of iris damage such as light sensitivity. Whereas, the contact lens version allows patients selectivity in usage and aesthetics while maintaining dynamic light attenuation. In vitro cell experimentation, in vivo rabbit implantation, and characterization studies established biocompatibility and long-term functionality of both devices. Our photochromic artificial irises may provide an improved treatment option for patients with reduced iris functionality.

description: We propose a scheme to investigate the effect of frustration on the magnetic phase transitions of cold atoms confined in an optical lattice. We also demonstrate how to get two-leg spin ladders with frustrated spin-exchange coupling which display a phase transition from a spin liquid to a fully incompressible state. Various experimental quantities are further analyzed for describing this phase.

description: We continue the development, by reduction to a first order system for the conormal gradient, of $L^2$ \textit{a priori} estimates and solvability for boundary value problems of Dirichlet, regularity, Neumann type for divergence form second order, complex, elliptic systems. We work here on the unit ball and more generally its bi-Lipschitz images, assuming a Carleson condition as introduced by Dahlberg which measures the discrepancy of the coefficients to their boundary trace near the boundary. We sharpen our estimates by proving a general result concerning \textit{a priori} almost everywhere non-tangential convergence at the boundary. Also, compactness of the boundary yields more solvability results using Fredholm theory. Comparison between classes of solutions and uniqueness issues are discussed. As a consequence, we are able to solve a long standing regularity problem for real equations, which may not be true on the upper half-space, justifying \textit{a posteriori} a separate work on bounded domains.

description: This paper compares the different multi-level climate and energy governance in China, the European Union and the United States. While many comparisons across these three economies exist, they concentrate on comparing the climate and energy “policy instruments” and their results. This paper puts a focus on the importance of institutionalized multi-level governance processes, i.e., the “politics” - the actors and interaction processes inherent in a mode of governance, and the “polities” - the institutional setting. How are priorities and targets decided from both bottom-up and top-down processes? How do the central governments exert control over local authorities and ensure the implementation of their policies? How do the central governments enforce and evaluate the results of the policies? And finally, how do citizens play a role in the multi-level governance in these three blocs? Analysis of multilevel governance highlights the importance of target setting and cadre evaluation in China whereas legislation is the dominant process in the EU and the US.
