description: When the number of particles $N$ is finite, the noncolliding Brownian motion (BM) and the noncolliding squared Bessel process with index $ν> -1$ (BESQ$^{(ν)}$) are determinantal processes for arbitrary fixed initial configurations. In the present paper we prove that, if initial configurations are distributed with orthogonal symmetry, they are Pfaffian processes in the sense that any multitime correlation functions are expressed by Pfaffians. The $2 \times 2$ skew-symmetric matrix-valued correlation kernels of the Pfaffians processes are explicitly obtained by the equivalence between the noncolliding BM and an appropriate dilatation of a time reversal of the temporally inhomogeneous version of noncolliding BM with finite duration in which all particles start from the origin, $N δ_0$, and by the equivalence between the noncolliding BESQ$^{(ν)}$ and that of the noncolliding squared generalized meander starting from $N δ_0$.

description: We study the time evolution of non-axisymmetric linear perturbations of a rotating magnetised neutron star, whose magnetic field is multipolar and purely poloidal. The background stellar configurations are generated self-consistently, allowing for distortions to the density distribution from rotational and magnetic forces. We find that the behaviour of axial-led perturbations is dominated by an instability generic to poloidal fields, which is localised around the `neutral line' where the background field vanishes. Rotation acts to reduce the effect of this instability. Polar-led perturbations do not appear to be unstable and in this case we find global Alfvén modes, whose restoring force is the magnetic field. In a rotating magnetised star there are no pure Alfvén modes or pure inertial modes, but hybrids of these. We discuss the nature of magnetic instabilities and oscillations in magnetars and pulsars, finding the dominant Alfvén mode has a frequency comparable with observed magnetar QPOs.

description: The quasi-geostrophic two-layer model is of superior interest in dynamic meteorology since it is one of the easiest ways to study baroclinic processes in geophysical fluid dynamics. The complete set of point symmetries of the two-layer equations is determined. An optimal set of one- and two-dimensional inequivalent subalgebras of the maximal Lie invariance algebra is constructed. On the basis of these subalgebras we exhaustively carry out group-invariant reduction and compute various classes of exact solutions. Where possible, reference to the physical meaning of the exact solutions is given. In particular, the well-known baroclinic Rossby wave solutions in the two-layer model are rediscovered.

description: The rearing of dairy calves, whether in conventional or organic farming, is questioned in society, particularly due to its lack of naturalness caused by the limited contact between age groups. Foster cow systems, where foster cows stay with calves in low-input pasture-based systems, have been implemented in France since 2010. The aims of this study were to explain farmers’ motivations for establishing their cow-calf contact systems and to describe the ways in which they have implemented them, in terms of daily practice and as part of their organic dairy farm. A documented investigation of the introduction of these rearing systems in France was carried out. In addition, individual semi-structured interviews were conducted between January and March 2019 on 20 organic farms that had implemented this practice. Farmers’ perceptions of the practice were explored through content analysis of the interview responses. Calves were separated from their dam after an average of 4.5 days. The bonding phase was conducted by leaving them together for 2–7 days in small bonding pens. Weaning and separation took place either simultaneously or gradually, between the age of 4–10 months. The farmers perceived these systems as working very well and being easy to implement on grazing-based farms, as well as ensuring good profitability and working conditions. According to the farmers, the calves appeared to have high growth rates and good health status, enabling the first calving at a younger age. These rearing systems seemed to be compatible with an agroecological transition.

description: Genetic variability is crucial for the choice of genitors in any plant breeding programme. Open-pollinated tomato varieties (OPV) present particular and little explored characteristics that can be used in breeding for organic production. This study aimed to characterise the morphological and molecular variability of seventeen OPVs grown under organic management, using morphological descriptors and SSR-type molecular markers. The experiment was conducted under field conditions, in a randomised complete block design, with four replications. Morphological characterisation was performed of 35 descriptors of the fruit and plants and by physical-chemical analyses of the fruit. Furthermore, the molecular variability of the OPVs was analysed using 20 SSR molecular markers. In the characterisation of fruit quality, 85.03% of the variability was composed of the chromatic descriptors b* (44.43%) and L* (7.21%), together with the width of pedicel scar (16.78%), number locules (8.59%), and fruit length (8.02%). The average similarity of genotypes obtained from the polymorphic SSR fragments was 0.59. The evaluated genotypes presented genetic variability to facilitate crosses focused on tomato breeding programmes for organic agriculture. Crosses including the yellow-orange-coloured genotypes, BGT_3 and BGT _1, could be explored for market niches such as for the gourmet type.

description: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Japan. Seventeen Japanese institutions are participating in the Antihypertensive Treatment for Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage (ATACH) II Trial (ClinicalTrials.gov no. NCT01176565; UMIN 000006526). This phase III trial is designed to determine the therapeutic benefit of early intensive systolic blood pressure (BP) lowering for acute hypertension in ICH patients. This report explains the long run-up to reach the start of patient registration in ATACH II in Japan, including our preliminary study, a nationwide survey on antihypertensive treatment for acute ICH patients, a multicenter study for hyperacute BP lowering (the SAMURAI-ICH study), revision of the official Japanese label for intravenous nicardipine, and construction of the infrastructure for the trial.
Towards a win-win chemistry: extraction of C.I. orange from Kamala fruit (Mallotus philippensis), and simultaneous exercise of its peels for the removal of Methylene Blue from water

description: Kamala fruit (Mallotus philippensis), hereinafter MP, has been simultaneously exercised for the extraction of a natural dye, C.I. orange and its peels were converted into an efficient adsorbent for the rapid removal of methylene blue (MB) dye from aqueous solutions. The material has been characterized by Fourier Transform Infra-red (FTIR),Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy- Electron dispersive spectroscopy (FESEM-EDS), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area, and pHZPC. FTIR suggests the presence of polyphenolic moieties responsible for adsorption, whereas FESEM confirms the porous texture. Optimization of process variables such as contact time, pH, adsorbent dose, and temperature of operation indicates that the adsorption gets modulated by the pH, with a best at 11. The Freundlich model (R2 = 0.994), and pseudo-second-order kinetics (R2 = 0.999) best describe the adsorption pathway. Dilute hydrochloric acid is sufficient to induce >66% regeneration, which ensures reusability. With the maximal uptake for MB is 30.2 mg/g at ambient conditions, the superiority over the existing materials has been confirmed. Treatment of dye containing industrial effluent suggests about a 50% reduction in one cycle. It can be concluded that both-way benefits, namely natural dye extraction and preparation of a peel-based adsorbent for methylene blue removal from aqueous solution, can be achieved using the kamala fruit peels. Mallotus philippensis, a seasonal fruit, commonly known as Kamala, was employed to serve a dual advantage of extracting a natural dye called C.I. orange from the peels; thereinafter, the peels were converted as an adsorbent to remove Methylene blue from water and industrial wastewater with high efficacy. From 100 g of raw material, 1.7 g of C.I. orange dye was extracted, along with 44 g of peel-based adsorbent. The maximum adsorption capacity for MB is 30.2 mg/g at ambient conditions, better and more impactful than contemporary adsorbents. The approach is firmly established in the circular economy as a dual benefit agent, generating clean and green revenue through natural dye extraction.

description: We review a novel and authentic way to quantize gravity. This novel approach is based on the fact that Einstein gravity can be formulated in terms of a symplectic geometry rather than a Riemannian geometry in the context of emergent gravity. An essential step for emergent gravity is to realize the equivalence principle, the most important property in the theory of gravity (general relativity), from U(1) gauge theory on a symplectic or Poisson manifold. Through the realization of the equivalence principle, which is an intrinsic property in symplectic geometry known as the Darboux theorem or the Moser lemma, one can understand how diffeomorphism symmetry arises from noncommutative U(1) gauge theory; thus, gravity can emerge from the noncommutative electromagnetism, which is also an interacting theory. As a consequence, a background-independent quantum gravity in which the prior existence of any spacetime structure is not a priori assumed but is defined by using the fundamental ingredients in quantum gravity theory can be formulated. This scheme for quantum gravity can be used to resolve many notorious problems in theoretical physics, such as the cosmological constant problem, to understand the nature of dark energy, and to explain why gravity is so weak compared to other forces. In particular, it leads to a remarkable picture of what matter is. A matter field, such as leptons and quarks, simply arises as a stable localized geometry, which is a topological object in the defining algebra (noncommutative $\star$-algebra) of quantum gravity.

Identification of new predictive biomarkers and characterization of molecular mechanisms of drug-resistance in chronic myeloid leukemia
Creators: name: Yen, Ryan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Treatment of BCR-ABL1⁺ human leukemia, especially for early phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients, has been greatly improved by ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapies. However, early relapses and acquired drug resistance remain problems. Thus, identification of new biomarkers and therapeutic targets are needed to predict patients’ responses for providing alternative treatment strategy and to overcome drug resistance by developing more effective therapies in CML. To identify new biomarkers that can predict a patient’s response to TKI therapies in CML, the expression of 47 microRNAs (miRNAs) that were differentially expressed between normal bone marrow and CML or in Imatinib (IM)-responders versus nonresponders was evaluated in CD34⁺ CML cells pre- and post-nilotinib (NL) therapy from a cohort of 58 patients enrolled in a clinical trial. Using Cox Proportional Hazard analysis and machine learning algorithms, miR-145 and miR-708 were identified as predictors for NL nonresponse in treatment-naïve cells, while miR-150 and miR-185 were predictors at 1-month and 3-month post-NL treatment. Interestingly, incorporation of in vitro colony formation data into either panel improved the predictive power at each time point. Thus, this new predictive model may be developed into a prognostic tool for use in the clinic. To investigate the molecular functions of the Ahi-1 oncogene and its SH3 domain in regulation of TKI resistance, a high-content antibody microarray was performed in BCR-ABL1⁺ cells expressing different constructs of Ahi-1. This analysis uncovered that the eIF4F complex, the key regulator of the mRNA-ribosome recruitment phase of translation initiation, was differentially expressed in wildtype Ahi-1 and IM-resistant cells. Interestingly, increased expression of several eIF4F complex members was demonstrated in CD34⁺ CML patient cells compared to normal bone marrow, particularly eIF4G1, the scaffolding protein of the complex. Strikingly, inhibition of eIF4G1 by shRNA or a selective inhibitor, SBI-756 impaired survival, increased IM sensitivity and reduced eIF4F complex activity significantly in IM-resistant cells. Additionally, inhibition of eIF4G1 resulted in a significant reduction of BCR-ABL1 protein expression in resistant cells, which may provide a novel strategy of targeting BCR-ABL1. Thus, understanding the mechanism of drug resistance mediated by eIF4G1 could lead to novel strategies to overcome these challenges.

description: We fabricate superconducting ion traps with niobium and niobium nitride and trap single 88Sr ions at cryogenic temperatures. The superconducting transition is verified and characterized by measuring the resistance and critical current using a 4-wire measurement on the trap structure, and observing change in the rf reflection. The lowest observed heating rate is 2.1(3) quanta/sec at 800 kHz at 6 K and shows no significant change across the superconducting transition, suggesting that anomalous heating is primarily caused by noise sources on the surface. This demonstration of superconducting ion traps opens up possibilities for integrating trapped ions and molecular ions with superconducting devices.

description: We construct the Hasse diagrams $G_2$ and $G_3$ for the closure ordering on the sets of congruence classes of $2\times 2$ and $3\times 3$ complex matrices. In other words, we construct two directed graphs whose vertices are $2\times 2$ or, respectively, $3\times 3$ canonical matrices under congruence and there is a directed path from $A$ to $B$ if and only if $A$ can be transformed by an arbitrarily small perturbation to a matrix that is congruent to $B$. A bundle of matrices under congruence is defined as a set of square matrices $A$ for which the pencils $A+λA^T$ belong to the same bundle under strict equivalence. In support of this definition, we show that all matrices in a congruence bundle of $2\times 2$ or $3\times 3$ matrices have the same properties with respect to perturbations. We construct the Hasse diagrams $G_2^{\rm B}$ and $G_3^{\rm B}$ for the closure ordering on the sets of congruence bundles of $2\times 2$ and, respectively, $3\times 3$ matrices. We find the isometry groups of $2\times 2$ and $3\times 3$ congruence canonical matrices.

description: Background: Individuals scoring high on psychopathy engage in problematic patterns of alcohol and illicit substance use. However, our understanding regarding the association between psychopathy and nicotine use remains limited, which is surprising, given the detrimental consequences associated with such use. Previous studies have observed significant correlations between psychopathic traits (particularly Factor 2 scores assessing lifestyle/behavioral and antisocial traits from the Psychopathy Checklist - Revised [PCL-R]) and increased frequency of nicotine use. However, no study has investigated whether individuals scoring high on psychopathy are characterized by problematic patterns of nicotine use, including lifetime history of nicotine dependence. Objectives: The current study aimed to address this gap, specifically investigating whether PCL-R scores were associated with higher total scores from the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND). Results: Across both incarcerated men and women, PCL-R total, Factor 2, and Facet 3 (measuring lifestyle/behavioral psychopathic traits) scores were positively correlated with FTND total scores. Additionally, across both samples, hierarchical linear regression analyses revealed these same psychopathy scores remained associated with higher FTND total scores when controlling for additional covariate measures (e.g., age, severity of alcohol and illicit substance use, race, ethnicity, and IQ). Conclusions/Importance: Though associated with small effect sizes, our results support the notion that lifestyle/behavioral psychopathic traits represent a general risk factor for engaging in risky behavior associated with deleterious health consequences, including nicotine use. Our results hold implications for the development of treatment approaches, designed to reduce problematic levels of substance use among individuals scoring high on psychopathy.

Year: 2022

description: The events of World War Two, changes in Northern economies, and popular Canadian opinion compelled the Canadian government to administer the Arctic more intensively in the immediate postwar period. To call attention to its new northern initiatives and to underscore its commitment to the region, the creative civil servants in the Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources produced an Arctic display, employing Inuit youth to perform ‘authentic’ Indigeneity in a way that incorporated the region and its peoples into Canada. “Meet the Arctic” legitimized the federal presence in the north through fair exhibition and display, using environments dedicated to domesticity and the familiarization of female labour. Its ambivalent messaging also provided opportunities for audience members and the Inuit who worked at it to resist and reshape its message, coherence, and authority.
Expansion of recruitment time window in antihypertensive treatment of acute cerebral hemorrhage (ATACH) II trial
Creators: name: Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institutes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: The Antihypertensive Treatment of Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage (ATACH) II trial is an ongoing multi-center, randomized phase III trial to determine the efficacy of early, intensive, antihypertensive treatment using intravenous (IV) nicardipine initiated within 3 h of onset of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). On March 11th, 2012, the National Institutes of Neurological Disorders and Stroke approved recruitment of patients with ICH within 4.5 h of symptom onset. The expansion of recruitment window was based on the recent ATACH-I study analysis that suggests reduction of hematoma expansion and death, and disability in those subjects who were treated within 4.5 h after symptom onset. Another recent single center study further identified that hematoma expansion, the primary target for systolic blood pressure reduction, appeared to be equally prevalent in subjects who are presenting between 3 and 4.5 h. The expansion has the potential to evaluate the efficacy of the treatment intervention in a larger group of patients with ICH.

description: We study the shape of $Λ$ hypernuclei in the full ($β,γ$) deformation plane, including both axially symmetric and triaxial quadrupole deformations. To this end, we use the constrained Skyrme Hartree-Fock+BCS method on the three-dimensional Cartesian mesh. The potential energy surface is analyzed for carbon hypernuclei as well as for sd-shell hypernuclei such as $^{27,29}_Λ$Si and $^{25,27}_Λ$Mg. We show that the potential energy surface in the ($β,γ$) plane is similar to each other between the hypernuclei and the corresponding core nuclei, although the addition of $Λ$ hyperon makes the energy surface somewhat softer along the $γ$ direction. Our calculation implies that the energy of the $γ$ vibration for $^{25,27}_Λ$Mg nuclei is lowered by about 0.15 MeV with respect to that of $^{24,26}$Mg nuclei.

description: Background: High prevalence of very light cigarette smoking and use of alternative tobacco products (ATPs; i.e. electronic nicotine delivery systems [ENDS], cigars, and hookah) among young adult college students are causes for concern. The purpose of this study is to examine transitions in cigarette smoking (never vs. non-current vs. very light vs. heavier) among college students across 2.5 years and determine if the use of ATPs is related to these transitions. Methods: This study used six waves of data across 2.5 years from Project M-PACT. Participants who were 18–25 years of age at baseline were included in this study (n = 4,806). Cigarette smoking state was categorized as never smoking, non-current smoking [0 cigarettes smoked per day (cpd) in past month], very light smoking (< =5 cpd in past month), and heavier smoking (>5 in past month). Multi-state Markov models were used to examine temporal transitions in the four smoking states and examine the association of time-varying current ATP use with transitions in smoking states. Results: The probabilities of remaining in a smoking state decreased over time. The time-varying current ATP use was significantly related to increased odds of transitioning from never smoking to non-current smoking, from never smoking to very light smoking, and from non-current to very light smoking. Conclusions: Findings highlight the need to prevent ATP use among college students and in turn inhibit initiation and escalation of cigarette smoking.

description: We report the discovery of large scale diffuse non-thermal radio emission in PLCK G287.0+32.9, an exceptionally hot (T ~ 13 keV), massive and luminous galaxy cluster, strongly detected by the PLANCK satellite in a recent, all-sky blind search for new clusters through Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. Giant Metrewave Radio telescope 150 MHz and Very Large Array 1.4 GHz radio data reveal a pair of giant (>1 Mpc) "arc" shaped peripheral radio-relics (signatures of shock waves) of unprecedented scale (linear separation ~4.4 Mpc at redshift 0.39), located at distances from the cluster center which are about 0.7 and 1.3 of the cluster's virial radius. Another possible giant relic and a radio-halo is detected closer to the cluster center. These relic sources are unique "signposts" of extremely energetic mergers and shocks (both ongoing and past), that are assembling and heating up this very massive galaxy cluster. They are also a probe of the filamentary cosmic-web structure beyond the cluster virial radius. Optical imaging with the IUCAA 2 meter telescope and XMM-Newton X-ray data confirm a very rich galaxy cluster with a morphologically disturbed core region, suggesting a dynamically perturbed merging system.

description: The LHC discovery of a Standard-Model-like Higgs particle in 2012 could be a portal to an extended Higgs sector predicted by several models, such as the Minimal-Supersymmetric Extension of the SM (MSSM) and the more general Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM). The additional Higgs states predicted by such extended models can have enhanced coupling to b-quarks in several scenarios, such as the 2HDM Type-II and -IV. This analysis is the search for neutral Higgs bosons decaying into a b-quark pair and produced in association with at least an additional b-quark. In the final state, we require a muon, stemming from b-hadron decays, to lie within any of the two b-jets emitted in the Higgs decay. This type of selection allows us to probe Higgs bosons with low masses. Detailed studies of the analysis strategy and its sensitivity are presented together with parameters of extended models for several mass hypotheses.

description: A novel family of exactly solvable quantum systems on curved space is presented. The family is the quantum version of the classical Perlick family, which comprises all maximally superintegrable 3-dimensional Hamiltonian systems with spherical symmetry. The high number of symmetries (both geometrical and dynamical) exhibited by the classical systems has a counterpart in the accidental degeneracy in the spectrum of the quantum systems. This family of quantum problem is completely solved with the techniques of the SUSYQM (supersymmetric quantum mechanics). We also analyze in detail the ordering problem arising in the quantization of the kinetic term of the classical Hamiltonian, stressing the link existing between two physically meaningful quantizations: the geometrical quantization and the position dependent mass quantization.

description: This paper proposes an improved deep learning based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in solar photovoltaic cells considering various time series based environmental inputs. Generally, artificial neural network based MPPT algorithms use basic neural network architectures and inputs which do not represent the ambient conditions in a comprehensive manner. In this article, the ambient conditions of a location are represented through a comprehensive set of environmental features. Furthermore, the inclusion of time based features in the input data is considered to model cyclic patterns temporally within the atmospheric conditions leading to robust modeling of the MPPT algorithm. A transformer based deep learning architecture is trained as a time series prediction model using multidimensional time series input features. The model is trained on a dataset containing typical meteorological year data points of ambient weather conditions from 50 locations. The attention mechanism in the transformer modules allows the model to learn temporal patterns in the data efficiently. The proposed model achieves a 0.47% mean average percentage error of prediction on non zero operating voltage points in a test dataset consisting of data collected over a period of 200 consecutive hours resulting in the average power efficiency of 99.54% and peak power efficiency of 99.98%. The proposed model is validated through real time simulations. The proposed model performs power point tracking in a robust, dynamic, and nonlatent manner, over a wide range of atmospheric conditions.

description: Suppose we can apply a given 2-qubit Hamiltonian H to any (ordered) pair of qubits. We say H is n-universal if it can be used to approximate any unitary operation on n qubits. While it is well known that almost any 2-qubit Hamiltonian is 2-universal (Deutsch, Barenco, Ekert 1995; Lloyd 1995), an explicit characterization of the set of non-universal 2-qubit Hamiltonians has been elusive. Our main result is a complete characterization of 2-non-universal 2-qubit Hamiltonians. In particular, there are three ways that a 2-qubit Hamiltonian H can fail to be universal: (1) H shares an eigenvector with the gate that swaps two qubits, (2) H acts on the two qubits independently (in any of a certain family of bases), or (3) H has zero trace. A 2-non-universal 2-qubit Hamiltonian can still be n-universal for some n >= 3. We give some partial results on 3-universality. Finally, we also show how our characterization of 2-universal Hamiltonians implies the well-known result that almost any 2-qubit unitary is universal.

description: The objective of the work package 4 is the development of eco-innovative and collectively-based waste prevention and management strategies for touristic cities. The idea of this guideline for local policy makers is to provide them with some inputs related to European and national regulation so that they are aware of the legal frameworks on waste management at their local scale. In fact, even if the European regulation is a common legislative framework for all the member states to conduct their national waste management policies, every country has its own specificities that lead to specific strategies in terms of waste management.

This guideline can be used as separated forms for seven different themes: avoiding waste production; reuse and prevention; avoiding litter; sorting into different fractions and recycling; biowaste and food waste; used cooking oils and environmental certifications. Those forms aim to describe all the national regulation on those themes so that local stakeholders can get legal tools to implement and support the proposed URBAN-WASTE measures on waste management at their local scale.

Moreover, economical guidelines have also been developed through that deliverable. They aim to make local stakeholders aware of the costs and saving costs generated by the measures implementation at their local scale; and can be used as decision making tools locally. Indeed saving costs can be used as convincing arguments for local stakeholders regarding the interest of the measures implementation. Besides, for the measures proposed by the URBAN-WASTE project, a business model has been developed in order to identify the relevant information to implement such a measure at local scale: timeline to implement the measure; barriers; success factors; main stakeholders to involve; supportive policy actions; financial inputs; monitoring; impact on policies, etc. This work on business models has been completed with the proposition of a common financial balance template that can be used by local policy makers as a tool to support the implementation of the measures.

description: The large neutrino fluxes emitted with a distinct flavor hierarchy from core-collapse supernovae (SNe) during the post-bounce accretion phase, offer the best opportunity to detect effects from neutrino flavor oscillations. We perform a dedicated study of the SN neutrino flavor evolution during the accretion phase, using results from recent neutrino radiation hydrodynamics simulations. In contrast to what expected in the presence of only neutrino-neutrino interactions, we find that the multi-angle effects associated with the dense ordinary matter suppress collective oscillations. This is related to the high matter densities during the accretion phase in core-collapse SNe of massive iron-core progenitors. The matter suppression implies that neutrino oscillations will start outside the neutrino transport region and therefore will have a negligible impact on the neutrino heating and the explosion dynamics. Furthermore, the possible detection of the next galactic SN neutrino signal from the accretion phase, based on the usual Mikheyev- Smirnov-Wolfenstein effect in the SN mantle and Earth matter effects, can reveal the neutrino mass hierarchy in the case that the mixing angle $θ_{13}$ is not very small.

Incidence of non-affective psychotic disorders and access to psychiatric care among adolescents in South-Western British Columbia
Creators: name: Magee, Carly Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Objectives: Estimate (1) diagnosed incidence of non-affective psychotic disorders (NAP) over adolescence (2) the distribution of risk in the population (3) the level of psychiatric service use and (4) predictors of psychiatric service use following a first diagnosis of NAP among adolescents in British Columbia (BC). Study 1: I used linked administrative data (e.g. hospitalization, physician visit, and immigration records) to estimate the incidence of NAP over adolescence and variation in risk by age, sex, family and neighbourhood income, migration background, parent mental health, and birth year. Study 2. I used the same data to estimate relative risk of adolescent-onset NAP by migrant generation and region of origin adjusting for class of entry into Canada, birth year, low family income and neighbourhood income. Study 3. I examined psychiatric service use (time to psychiatry follow up visit, antipsychotic prescription, hospitalization, rate of psychiatry visits and odds of service gap) following a first diagnosis of NAP among adolescents in BC, and clinical and demographic (migration background, family and neighbourhood income, sex, age) predictors of psychiatric service use. Findings: 0.64% of females and 0.88% of males were diagnosed with a NAP between age 13-19. Incidence increased over the age range, especially among males. Low family income, lower neighbourhood income, parent mental health contact history, and later birth year were associated with higher risk of diagnosis, whereas immigrant adolescents had lower risk of diagnosis compared to non-immigrant adolescents. In study 2 I found that first-generation migrants from East, South and Southeast Asia and second-generation migrants from East and South Asia exhibited lower risk of diagnosed NAP over adolescence compared to non-migrants. In study 3 I found that half of outpatient cases and one third of inpatient cases did not access psychiatry follow up within 30 days of index, and a majority experienced gaps of more than 90 days between psychiatry visits. Moreover, I identified clinical and demographic predictors of psychiatric service use.

description: Main theorems of the article concern the problem of M. Atiyah on possible values of l^2-Betti numbers. It is shown that all non-negative real numbers are l^2-Betti numbers, and that "many" (for example all non-negative algebraic) real numbers are l^2-Betti numbers of simply connected manifolds with respect to a free cocompact action. Also an explicit example is constructed which leads to a simply connected manifold with a transcendental l^2-Betti number with respect to an action of the threefold direct product of the lamplighter group Z/2 wr Z. The main new idea is embedding Turing machines into integral group rings. The main tool developed generalizes known techniques of spectral computations for certain random walk operators to arbitrary operators in groupoid rings of discrete measured groupoids.
