description: Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are well-established Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. They rely on the fact that i) linear learning can be formalized as a well-posed optimization problem; ii) non-linear learning can be brought into linear learning thanks to the kernel trick and the mapping of the initial search space onto a high dimensional feature space. The kernel is designed by the ML expert and it governs the efficiency of the SVM approach. In this paper, a new approach for the automatic design of kernels by Genetic Programming, called the Evolutionary Kernel Machine (EKM), is presented. EKM combines a well-founded fitness function inspired from the margin criterion, and a co-evolution framework ensuring the computational scalability of the approach. Empirical validation on standard ML benchmark demonstrates that EKM is competitive using state-of-the-art SVMs with tuned hyper-parameters.
Judicial respect for international commercial arbitration agreements in Canadian courts under the New York Convention and UNCITRAL model law
Creators: name: Barbour, Alan Norman
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In Europe of the Middle Ages, there existed an autonomous regime of truly private international business law based upon the customs and usages of merchants, the Law Merchant, administered in lay tribunals. The courts and legislators usurped the jurisdiction of the lay tribunals, and subverted the Law Merchant to municipal law. Arbitration was similarly subverted to municipal courts and strict legal controls. The courts continued to guard their jurisdiction jealously into the 20th century, when nations came to realize the inadequacy of national legal systems for international business problems, and the desire of business to escape parochial legal concerns and municipal courts. Canada adopted the New York Convention and UNCITRAL Model Law in 1986, which maximize party and arbitral autonomy and restrict court interference with arbitration. These new laws would permit the resurrection of an autonomous regime of international commercial dispute settlement largely divorced from national law and court controls, if the courts cooperate. This thesis is the first comprehensive, up-to-date study (of which I am aware) of Canadian case law on arbitration in the context of the history of autonomous commercial dispute resolution from the its zenith in the Middle Ages through its nadir, to its present attempted resurrection. This thesis shows that the courts of Canada continue to guard their jurisdiction jealously, finding the means in old notions and precedents to justify their refusal to cede jurisdiction to arbitrators. The courts have ignored the policies underlying the new laws, have failed to apply international precedents and standards, and have continued to apply notions and precedents from an era hostile to arbitration.

description: We study biasing as a physical phenomenon by analysing power spectra (PS) and correlation functions (CF) of simulated galaxy samples and dark matter (DM) samples. We apply an algorithm based on the local densities of particles, $ρ$, to form populations of simulated galaxies, using particles with $ρ\ge ρ_0$. We calculate two-point CF of projected (2D) and spatial (3D) density fields of simulated galaxies for various particle-density limits $ρ_0$. We compare 3D and 2D CFs; in 2D case we use samples of various thickness to find the dependence of 2D CFs on thickness of samples. Dominant elements of the cosmic web are clusters and filaments, separated by voids filling most of the volume. In individual 2D sheets positions of clusters and filaments do not coincide. As a result, in projection clusters and filaments fill in 2D voids. This leads to the decrease of amplitudes of CFs in projection. For this reason amplitudes of 2D CFs are lower than amplitudes of 3D CFs, the difference is the larger, the thicker are 2D samples. Using PS and CFs of simulated galaxies and DM we estimate the bias factor for $L^\ast$ galaxies, $b^\ast =1.85 \pm 0.15$.

description: Pathological folding and oligomer formation of the amyloid beta-protein (Abeta) are widely perceived as central to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Experimental approaches to study Abeta self-assembly are problematic, because most relevant aggregates are quasi-stable and inhomogeneous. We apply a discrete molecular dynamics (DMD) approach combined with a four-bead protein model to study oligomer formation of the amyloid beta-protein (Abeta). We address the differences between the two most common Abeta alloforms, Abeta40 and Abeta42, which oligomerize differently in vitro. We study how the presence of electrostatic interactions (EIs) between pairs of charged amino acids affects Abeta40 and Abeta42 oligomer formation. Our results indicate that EIs promote formation of larger oligomers in both Abeta40 and Abeta42. The Abeta40 size distribution remains unimodal, whereas the Abeta42 distribution is trimodal, as observed experimentally. Abeta42 folded structure is characterized by a turn in the C-terminus that is not present in Abeta40. We show that the same C-terminal region is also responsible for the strongest intermolecular contacts in Abeta42 pentamers and larger oligomers. Our results suggest that this C-terminal region plays a key role in the formation of Abeta42 oligomers and the relative importance of this region increases in the presence of EIs. These results suggest that inhibitors targeting the C-terminal region of Abeta42 oligomers may be able to prevent oligomer formation or structurally modify the assemblies to reduce their toxicity.

description: The $D^{(\ast)}Ξ_{cc}^{(\ast)}$ system and $\barΞ_{cc}^{(\ast)}Ξ_{cc}^{(\ast)}$ system can be related to the $D^{(\ast)}\bar{D}^{(\ast)}$ system via heavy anti-quark di-quark symmetry (HADS). In this work, we employ a contact-range effective field theory to systematically investigate the likely existence of molecules in these systems in terms of the hypothesis that X(3872) is a $1^{++}$~$D\bar{D}^{\ast}$ bound state in the isospin symmetry limit, with some of the unknown low energy constants estimated using the light-meson saturation approximation. In the meson-meson system, a $J^{PC}=2^{++}$~$\bar{D}^{\ast}D^{\ast}$ molecule commonly referred to as $X(4013)$ is reproduced, which is the heavy quark spin partner of $X(3872)$. In the meson-baryon system, we predict two triply charmed pentaquark molecules, $J^{P}=1/2^{-}$~$D^{\ast}Ξ_{cc}$ and $J^{P}=5/2^{-}$~$D^{\ast}Ξ_{cc}^{\ast}$. In the baryon-baryon system, there exist seven di-baryon molecules, $J^{PC}=0^{-+}$~$\barΞ_{cc}Ξ_{cc}$, $J^{PC}=1^{--}$~$\barΞ_{cc}Ξ_{cc}$, $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$~$\barΞ_{cc}Ξ_{cc}^{\ast}$, $J^{PC}=1^{--}$~$\barΞ_{cc}Ξ_{cc}^{\ast}$, $J^{PC}=2^{-+}$~$\barΞ_{cc}Ξ_{cc}^{\ast}$, $J^{PC}=2^{-+}$~$\barΞ_{cc}^{\ast}Ξ_{cc}^{\ast}$ and $J^{PC}=3^{--}$~$\barΞ_{cc}^{\ast}Ξ_{cc}^{\ast}$. Among them, the $J^{PC}=0^{-+}$~$\barΞ_{cc}Ξ_{cc}$ and/or $J^{PC}=1^{--}$~$\barΞ_{cc}Ξ_{cc}$ molecules may contribute to the $X(7200)$ state recently observed by the LHCb Collaboration, which implies that $X(7200)$ can be related to $X(3872)$ via HADS. As a byproduct, with the heavy quark flavor symmetry we also study likely existence of molecular states in the $B^{(\ast)}\bar{B}^{(\ast)}$, $\bar{B}^{(\ast)}Ξ_{bb}^{(\ast)}$, and $\barΞ_{bb}^{(\ast)}Ξ_{bb}^{(\ast)}$ systems.

The ’dangerousness’ provisions of the criminal justice act 1991: a risk discourse?
Creators: name: Robinson, Keith Liam Hamilton
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis examines in detail the provisions of the Criminal Justice Act 1991 which allow for the incapacitation of the 'dangerous' offender. Incapacitation has been used as an example of a growing trend in criminal justice towards viewing crime in terms of risk. This risk discourse points to the use of actuarial practices and insurance techniques in this field, with a resultant 'abstraction' of the traditional view of crime as a moral wrong. The technologies of risk assessment are central to the very power of the discourse, it has been argued that these techniques further increase the effectiveness of control and that they are a response to a growing preoccupation in society with security. It is argued that risk is, in a sense, pre-political in that as risk takes hold, overtly political responses to crime become more difficult. Given that incapacitation has been used as an example of crime as risk, this thesis takes the form of a micro-study of the above incapacitatory legislation. It assesses the degree to which this legislation can be seen to be a part of the risk discourse. It is argued that on a general level the legislation does fit within the risk model, seeking to incapacitate 'bad risks'. However, it is argued that as the legislation has been conceived, formulated and employed, it does not make use of the actuarial techniques of risk assessment - seen as so central to 'internal dynamic' of the risk discourse - to a significant extent. Rather, it is argued that the legislation embodies a politically motivated appeal to the idea of risk rather than to risk assessment itself. It is concluded that this use of risk - once shed of its attendant technologies - far from making political responses more difficult, sits well with punitive responses demanded by a government of the right.

description: Webpages change over time, and web archives hold copies of historical versions of webpages. Users of web archives, such as journalists, want to find and view changes on webpages over time. However, the current search interfaces for web archives do not adequately support this task. For the web archives that include a full-text search feature, multiple versions of the same webpage that match the search query are shown individually without enumerating changes, or are grouped together in a way that hides changes. We present a change text search engine that allows users to find changes in webpages. We describe the implementation of the search engine backend and frontend, including a tool that allows users to view the changes between two webpage versions in context as an animation. We also propose changes to the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine replay navigation banner to further support users viewing change over time. We evaluate the search engine with U.S. federal environmental webpages that changed between 2016 and 2020. The change text search results page can clearly show when terms and phrases were added or removed from webpages. The inverted index can also be queried to identify salient and frequently deleted terms in a corpus. We align the dataset to with a real-world click dataset, showing that users were searching for the same environmental terms that were ultimately deleted.

description: Using the large multi-wavelength data set in the chandra/SWIRE Survey (0.6 square degrees in the Lockman Hole), we show evidence for the existence of highly obscured (Compton-thick) AGN, estimate a lower limit to their surface density and characterize their multi-wavelength properties. Two independent selection methods based on the X-ray and infrared spectral properties are presented. The two selected samples contain 1) 5 X-ray sources with hard X-ray spectra and column densities > 10^24 cm-2, and 2) 120 infrared sources with red and AGN-dominated infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs). We estimate a surface density of at least 25 Compton-thick AGN per square degree detected in the infrared in the chandra/SWIRE field of which ~40% show distinct AGN signatures in their optical/near-infrared SEDs, the remainings being dominated by the host-galaxy emission. Only ~33% of all Compton-thick AGN are detected in the X-rays at our depth (F(0.3-8 keV)>10^-15 erg/cm2/s. We report the discovery of two sources in our sample of Compton-thick AGN, SWIRE_J104409.95+585224.8 (z=2.54) and SWIRE_J104406.30+583954.1 (z=2.43), which are the most luminous Compton-thick AGN at high-z currently known. The properties of these two sources are discussed in detail with an analysis of their spectra, SEDs, luminosities and black-hole masses.

description: We study high-order harmonic generation (HHG) from aligned molecules in strong elliptically polarized laser fields numerically and analytically. Our simulations show that the spectra and polarization of HHG depend strongly on the molecular alignment and the laser ellipticity. In particular, for small laser ellipticity, large ellipticity of harmonics with high intensity is observed for parallel alignment, with forming a striking ellipticity hump around the threshold. We show that the interplay of the molecular structure and two-dimensional electron motion plays an important role here. This phenomenon can be used to generate bright elliptically-polarized EUV pulses.

Background and Aims: Sarcopenic obesity (defined as low muscle mass and strength with high adiposity) requires attention in adults with advanced knee osteoarthritis (OA) due to implications on treatment outcomes. This study aimed to identify muscle function measures and patient characteristics associated with the presence of low muscle mass that could be used to screen and detect sarcopenic obesity in patients with knee OA in the clinical setting.

Methods: Cross-sectional study of patients with knee OA and a body mass index (BMI) ≥30 kg/m2. Body composition was measured in n=151 patients (59% female, mean age 65.1±7.9 years) using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) adjusted by BMI and below established sex-specific cut-points was used to differentiate low muscle mass. Muscle function was assessed by four-meter gait speed, six minute walk test, and maximal grip strength (absolute, and relative, adjusted by BMI). Logistic regression was used to assess the relationship between muscle function measures, patient characteristics, and low muscle mass. Receiver operating characteristic curves and area under the curve (AUC) were used to examine the final model and identify potential clinical cut-points.

Results: Sex and relative grip strength were associated with low muscle mass (AUC 0.774, p <0.001). Cut-points for low relative grip strength (<0.65 kg/m2 in females and <1.1 kg/m2 in males) were distinguished and used in combination with low muscle mass to screen and identify sarcopenic obesity. Patients with both low relative grip strength and low muscle mass (sarcopenic obesity) had impaired mobility and quality of life.

Conclusion: Relative grip strength shows promise as a clinical screening measure for sarcopenic obesity in patients with knee OA.

We show that a transient acceleration and an early loitering period are usually excluded by the data. Moreover, the three models are equivalent to some usual quintessence/ghost dark energy models defined by a barotropic index $γ_ϕ$ depending on the redshift. We calculate this index for each model and show that they mimic a universe close to a $ΛCDM$ model today.

Performance and economic evaluation of a reversible high-temperature heat pump/ORC for waste heat recovery in the marine sector

description: The prevailing technology for waste heat recovery in ships is the ORC, which can exploit a variety of waste heat sources to produce electricity, and thus reduce the fuel consumption of the generator engines. The main challenge is to increase the capacity factor and exploit the highest possible amount of the various waste heat sources on-board, preferably of elevated temperature, in order to reach a high electric power output. The exploitation of the thermal content of the exhaust gases usually introduces severe constraints, since heat is extracted from this gas flow first from the engine’s turbocharger and then by the exhaust gas boiler (economizer) for steam production in the case of the main engine. Moreover, the main engine in a typical merchant ship operates for about two thirds of the year, which might not be enough to secure the ORC cost-effectiveness when only its low-grade heat source is exploited. On the other hand, the generator engines operate for an even larger duration, but with a much lower capacity. With the aim to increase the capacity factor (operating days/year), an advancement of the ORC technology is examined here, which exploits low-temperature waste heat sources. Such configuration is based on a reversible cycle, operating either as an ORC or a high-temperature heat pump (HTHP). The heat pump mode produces steam, replacing the use of auxiliary boilers, which mostly operate when the ship is at port. When the ship is at sea, no steam is needed by those boilers, because the steam generation is accomplished by the exhaust gas economizer (exhaust gas boiler), and then the unit reverses its operation to ORC mode for electricity production. This flexible unit is examined in terms of performance for producing saturated steam at 6 bar/158 ⁰C (heat pump mode) and electricity (ORC mode), when using an ultra-low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant. A detailed techno-economic study has then been conducted for a variety of longdistance ships, according to their typical boiler capacity that is matched to the heat pump capacity and days at sea/port, leading to the estimation of the net fuel savings and discounted payback period. The latter becomes short in the range of 3-4 years for the reversible unit when the fuel price is increased.

Novel P2X4 receptor antagonist NCP-917 attenuated allodynia induced by sciatic nerve injury
Creators: name: Imai, Toshiyasu
Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2015

description: Background and aims

The P2X4 receptor (P2X4R) on activated spinal microglia plays an important role on developing neuropathic pain.  Through the joint research with Nippon Chemiphar Co. Ltd. and Kyushu University, we identified a novel, potent, orally administrable and selective small-molecule antagonist that inhibit the P2X4R across species and that have pharmacological (or analgesic) effects in experimental neuropathic pain models. The purpose of this study is to uncover the pharmacological profile of NCP-917.

Method

To investigate P2X4R antagonism of NCP-917, Ca2+ imaging with Fura-2 and whole-cell patch clamp recording in cells expressing the P2X4R were performed. Furthermore, analgesic activity of NCP-917 was evaluated in rat model of L5 DRG neuron injured neuropathic pain (modified Chung model).

Results

NCP-917 indicated a potent antagonistic activity against ATP-stimulated P2X4R activation in Ca2+ imaging and electrophysiology assays.
Orally administrated NCP-917 (3-10 mg/kg) in rats indicated enough CNS penetration to interact with the P2X4 receptors on spinal cord to conduct the attenuation of allodynia behavior in modified Chung model animals.  On the other hand, NCP-917 did not have an influence on the motor coordination on a Rota-rod test (up to 60 mg/kg).

Conclusions

These results indicate that NCP-917 is a potent, selective P2X4 receptor antagonist. And P2X4 receptor antagonists will be effective in patients who are intolerant of or refractory to other treatment for neuropathic pain, because treatment by P2X4 receptor antagonists is a completely new approach that specifically targets microglia.
Evolution of Helimagnetic Correlations when approaching the Quantum Critical Point of Mn$_{1-x}$Fe$_x$Si

description: We present a comprehensive investigation of the evolution of helimagnetic correlations in Mn$_{1-x}$Fe$_x$Si with increasing doping. By combining polarised neutron scattering and high resolution Neutron Spin Echo spectroscopy we investigate three samples with $x$=0.09, 0.11 and 0.14, i.e. with compositions on both sides of the concentration $x^* \sim 0.11$ where the helimagnetic Bragg peaks disappear and between $x^*$ and the quantum critical concentration $x_C \sim 0.17$, where $T_C$ vanishes. We find that the abrupt disappearance of the long range helical periodicity at $x^*$, does not affect the precursor fluctuating correlations. These build up with decreasing temperature in a similar way as for the parent compound MnSi. Also the dynamics bears strong similarities to MnSi. The analysis of our results indicates that frustration, possibly due to achiral RKKY interactions, increases with increasing Fe doping. We argue that this effect explains both the expansion of the precursor phase with increasing $x$ and the abrupt disappearance of long range helimagnetic periodicity at $x^*$.

Dimensions of 44 females: L = 0.28 -0.34 mm; a = 16-18; b = 3.4- 3.8; c = 7.0- 8.9; V = 7 - 1548 - 536 - 1 0.
Female, holotype: L = 0.30 mm; a = 16; b = 3.7; c = 8. 1; V = " SO10.
Male not found.
Body straight in death except the tail being curved to ventral side. Anteriorly the body is subcylindroid till the anterior third of the neck, then convex to just anterior to the base of the cervical expansions; anterior to this point the outline of the inner tissues becomes concave. Transverse striae very fine, 0.8 (x apart, except on the ventral side of the tail where they are 1.2 y. apart.Lateral field with two distinct longitudinal lines. The structure of the cephalic ornamentations appears much similar to that of E.fimbriatum Anderson, 1966, but the fringe along the anterior margins is shorter and the expansions bear cornua much longer than the fringe. Cuticular expansions with coarse annulation. Stoma expanded somewhat anteriorly, but not globular. Depth of stoma 11 jx. Amphids round, 1.5 [x in diameter, located anterior to the base of the expansions. Isthmus of oesophagus as thick as corpus. The nerve ring surrounds the oesophagus just before its middle. Deirids conspicuous, behind nerve ring. Tail 3.6-4.6 anal body diameters long; its cuticle thickened dorsally as in E.fimbriatum. A pair of subventral setae halfway the tail, a subdorsal pair just before the terminus.
Holotype: Female on slide WT 1144. Paratypes: 31 females (three with end-on view of head) on slides WT 1145-1164; nine females deposited with Dr. A. Morgan Golden, Beltsville, Maryland, U. S.A.; six females with Dr. R. V. Anderson, Ottawa, Canada.
Type habitat and locality: Sample 70; the species is dominant here. Found also in samples 16, 17, 19, 21, 34, 53, 54, 55, 60, 62, 65 and 69.
This species is close to E.fimbriatum, the only other species of the genus. It differs by the cornua protruding distinctly beyond the fringe, by the shorter fringe, by the shape of the anterior part of the mouth cavity and by the presence of only two pairs of caudal setae (four in E.fimbriatum).

description: We measure the 2-point correlation function, xi(AG), between galaxies and quasar absorption line systems at z<1, using the dataset of Morris & Jannuzi (2006; paper I) on 16 lines of sight (LOS) with UV spectroscopy and galaxy multi-object spectroscopy. The measurements are made in 2-D redshift space out to pi=20/h Mpc (comoving) along the LOS and out to 2/h Mpc projected; as a function of HI column density in the range N(HI) = 1E13-1E19 cm^-2, for CIV systems and as a function of galaxy spectral type. This extends the absorber-galaxy pair count analysis of paper I. We find that the peak amplitude of xi(AG) at the smallest separations increases slowly as the lower limit on N(HI) is increased from 1E13 to 1E16 cm^-2, and then jumps sharply (albeit with substantial uncertainty) at N(HI)>1E17 cm^-2. For CIV absorbers, the peak strength of xi(AG) is comparable to that of HI absorbers with N(HI)>1E16.5 cm^-2. We do not reproduce the differences reported by Chen et al. between 1-D xi(AG) measurements using galaxy sub-samples of different spectral types, but the full impact of systematic differences in our samples is hard to quantify. We compare the observations with smoothed particle hydrodynamical (SPH) simulations and discover that in the observations xi(AG) is more concentrated to the smallest separations than in the simulations. The latter also display a `finger of god' elongation of xi(AG) along the LOS in redshift space, which is absent from our data, but similar to that found by Ryan-Weber for the cross-correlation of quasar absorbers and HI-emission-selected galaxies. The physical origin of these `fingers of god' is unclear and we highlight several possible areas for further investigation.

A general class of braneworld wormholes

description: The brane cosmology scenario is based on the idea that our Universe is a 3-brane embedded in a five-dimensional bulk. In this work, a general class of braneworld wormholes is explored with $R\neq 0$, where $R$ is the four dimensional Ricci scalar, and specific solutions are further analyzed. A fundamental ingredient of traversable wormholes is the violation of the null energy condition (NEC). However, it is the effective total stress energy tensor that violates the latter, and in this work, the stress energy tensor confined on the brane, threading the wormhole, is imposed to satisfy the NEC. It is also shown that in addition to the local high-energy bulk effects, nonlocal corrections from the Weyl curvature in the bulk may induce a NEC violating signature on the brane. Thus, braneworld gravity seems to provide a natural scenario for the existence of traversable wormholes.

description: We compute exact second-order asymptotics for the cost of an optimal solution to the entropic optimal transport problem in the continuous-to-discrete, or semi-discrete, setting. In contrast to the discrete-discrete or continuous-continuous case, we show that the first-order term in this expansion vanishes but the second-order term does not, so that in the semi-discrete setting the difference in cost between the unregularized and regularized solution is quadratic in the inverse regularization parameter, with a leading constant that depends explicitly on the value of the density at the points of discontinuity of the optimal unregularized map between the measures. We develop these results by proving new pointwise convergence rates of the solutions to the dual problem, which may be of independent interest.
