description: We present BayeSED, a general purpose tool for doing Bayesian analysis of SEDs by using whatever pre-existing model SED libraries or their linear combinations. The artificial neural networks (ANNs), principal component analysis (PCA) and multimodal nested sampling (MultiNest) techniques are employed to allow a highly efficient sampling of posterior distribution and the calculation of Bayesian evidence. As a demonstration, we apply this tool to a sample of hyperluminous infrared galaxies (HLIRGs). The Bayesian evidences obtained for a pure Starburst, a pure AGN, and a linear combination of Starburst+AGN models show that the Starburst+AGN model have the highest evidence for all galaxies in this sample. The Bayesian evidences for the three models and the estimated contributions of starburst and AGN to infrared luminosity show that HLIRGs can be classified into two groups: one dominated by starburst and the other dominated by AGN. Other parameters and corresponding uncertainties about starburst and AGN are also estimated by using the model with the highest Bayesian evidence. We found that the starburst region of the HLIRGs dominated by starburst tends to be more compact and has a higher fraction of OB star than that of HLIRGs dominated by AGN. Meanwhile, the AGN torus of the HLIRGs dominated by AGN tend to be more dusty than that of HLIRGs dominated by starburst. These results are consistent with previous researches, but need to be tested further with larger samples. Overall, we believe that BayeSED could be a reliable and efficient tool for exploring the nature of complex systems such as dust-obscured starburst-AGN composite systems from decoding their SEDs.

Anarchy and Leptogenesis

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study if leptogenesis works successfully together with the neutrino mass anarchy hypothesis. We find that the predicted neutrino mass spectrum is sensitive to the reheating temperature or the inflaton mass, while the distributions of the neutrino mixing angles and CP violation phases remain intact as determined by the invariant Haar measure of U(3). In the case of thermal leptogenesis, the light neutrino mass distribution agrees well with the observations if the reheating temperature is O(10^{9-11}) GeV. The mass spectrum of the right-handed neutrinos and the neutrino Yukawa matrix exhibit a certain pattern, as a result of the competition between random matrices with elements of order unity and the wash-out effect. Non-thermal leptogenesis is consistent with observation only if the inflaton mass is larger than or comparable to the typical right-handed neutrino mass scale. Cosmological implications are discussed in connection with the 125GeV Higgs boson mass.

description: The importance of private lands for conservation is increasingly apparent. Private landowners and wildlife managers face many challenges as they work to maintain the ecological, economic and social integrity of these lands. For many years The Nature Conservancy conserved private lands by purchasing them and then establishing nature preserves or transferring lands to public agencies. During the past two decades, conservation easements have become firmly established as the transactional tool of choice for conserving private lands. These tools for land protection remain valuable, yet they are insufficient, in part because the cost of buying land or easements far outstrips the availability of funding sources. There is substantial need and opportunity to develop financial and management tools and techniques that advance agricultural, economic, and conservation outcomes on private lands at a scale that effectively conserves whole landscapes and the species they contain. The Nature Conservancy is investing in several novel approaches, including multi-part transactions that incorporate much greater acreages than traditional transactions, enhancing both economic opportunity and conservation outcomes; increasingly sophisticated conservation easements that foster negotiations with energy developers; market-based sustainable grazing agreements between agricultural producers and buyers; and community-based land management programs that enhance both conservation and economic returns. Working in collaboration with private landowners, state and federal agencies, and academic researchers, we are analyzing vulnerabilities of private lands and demonstrating adaptation strategies that may increase resilience of socio-ecological systems including private lands.

description: The study aimed to determine the above-ground biomass (AGB) of tropical deciduous forests in Central India using field-based techniques and spaceborne quad-pol ALOS PALSAR-2 L-band and dual-pol Sentinel 1A C-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR). Field sampling based on 73 forested grids exhibited a diverse forest composition in the Satpura Tiger Reserve (STR) with a total of 54 tree species of which 31.48% species were IUCN Red-Listed. The forests were highly diverse (H’=3.22) with a low concentration of dominance (CD =0.06) and a quite high species evenness (E = 0.81). The sensitivity and correlation between field-based AGB and SAR backscatter in STR were highest in cross-polarization due to its higher sensitivity to the vegetation structure in both L- and C-band SAR, where L-VH based AGB estimates were found more accurate (RMSE:5.17%). The study provided vital information for setting up strategies for biodiversity conservation, enhancing forest productivity, and restoring wildlife habitats.

description: We checked Eling-Oz formula [1] for the bulk viscosity of the holographic fluid dual to the exotic black holes [2]. Initially, Eling and Oz argued that the formula is valid in the high temperature and adiabatic limits. In [3] the validity of the formula for $\caln=2^*$ plasma and cascading gauge theory was pushed forward for arbitrary temperatures. We successfully verified the formula with the computations of the bulk viscosity [4,5] for a wide range of the temperatures. Moreover, it correctly reproduces the critical behavior in the vicinity of the critical point, where the bulk-to-shear viscosity diverges.

description: Recent fluorescence spectroscopy measurements of single-enzyme kinetics have shown that enzymatic turnovers form a renewal stochastic process in which the inverse of the mean waiting time between turnovers follows the Michaelis-Menten equation. Under typical physiological conditions, however, tens to thousands of enzymes react in catalyzing thousands to millions of substrates. We study enzyme kinetics at these physiologically relevant conditions through a master equation including stochasticity and molecular discreteness. From the exact solution of the master equation we find that the waiting times are neither independent nor are they identically distributed, implying that enzymatic turnovers form a non-renewal stochastic process. The inverse of the mean waiting time shows strong departures from the Michaelis-Menten equation. The waiting times between consecutive turnovers are anti-correlated, where short intervals are more likely to be followed by long intervals and vice versa. Correlations persist beyond consecutive turnovers indicating that multi-scale fluctuations govern enzyme kinetics.

description: Purpose: To identify risk factors for suboptimal IVF outcomes using insemination with donor spermatozoa and to define a lower threshold that may signal a conversion to fertilization by ICSI rather than insemination. Method: Retrospective, age-matched, case-control study of women undergoing non-donor oocyte IVF cycles using either freshly ejaculated (N = 138) or cryopreserved donor spermatozoa (N = 69). Associations between method of fertilization, semen sample parameters, and pregnancy rates were analyzed. Results: In vitro fertilization of oocytes with donor spermatozoa by insemination results in equivalent fertilization and pregnancy rates compared to those of freshly ejaculated spermatozoa from men with normal semen analyses when the post-processing motility is greater than or equal to 88%. IVF by insemination with donor spermatozoa when the post-processing motility is less than 88% is associated with a 5-fold reduction in pregnancy rates when compared to those of donor spermatozoa above this motility threshold. When the post-processing donor spermatozoa motility is low, fertilization by ICSI is associated with significantly higher pregnancy rates compared to those of insemination. Conclusion: While ICSI does not need to be categorically instituted when using donor spermatozoa in IVF, patients should be counseled that conversion from insemination to ICSI may be recommended based on low post-processing motility.

description: In this work, we generalize the numerical approach to Gaudin models developed earlier by us to degenerate systems showing that their treatment is surprisingly convenient from a numerical point of view. In fact, high degeneracies not only reduce the number of relevant states in the Hilbert space by a non negligible fraction, they also allow to write the relevant equations in the form of sparse matrix equations. Moreover, we introduce a new inversion method based on a basis of barycentric polynomials which leads to a more stable and efficient root extraction which most importantly avoids the necessity of working with arbitrary precision. As an example we show the results of our procedure applied to the Richardson model on a square lattice.

description: Through in-depth interviews, this study examined the relational context of sexual HIV risk for 10 Black women aged 18—30 who were defendants in a community court setting. A qualitative data analysis identified themes of actual and feared intimate partner violence (IPV) and the expectations of demonstrating trust in a relationship as obstacles to negotiating the use of condoms. The findings speak to the broader structural factors and consequences of IPV and drug use. The article discusses the implications for HIV prevention for Black women who are involved in the criminal justice system.

description: With a goal of searching for accreting intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), we report the results of ultra-deep Jansky VLA radio continuum observations of the cores of three Galactic globular clusters: M15, M19, and M22. We reach rms noise levels of 1.5-2.1 uJy/beam at an average frequency of 6 GHz. No sources are observed at the center of any of the clusters. For a conservative set of assumptions about the properties of the accretion, we set 3-sigma upper limits on IMBHs from 360-980 M_sun. These limits are among the most stringent obtained for any globular cluster. They add to a growing body of work that suggests either (a) IMBHs ~> 1000 M_sun are rare in globular clusters, or (b) when present, IMBHs accrete in an extraordinarily inefficient manner.

description: This research explored how women who are transitioning from prison into the community can raise community awareness thereby challenging stigmatic attributions that interfere with successful reintegration. Using the guiding principles of photovoice and action research, a group of five formerly incarcerated women created banners with the intention of dissemination leading to raising community awareness. Thematic analysis through the lenses of relational cultural theory, social capital, and feminist enquiry, rendered overarching themes of "Helping My Neighbour Understand" and "My Need for Connection". Effects of the experience on participants, counselling implications, and future directions for working with this cultural group are discussed.

description: With continued and increasing human development or alteration of natural environments and ecosystems, parks and protected areas have become increasingly valuable as natural areas, not only for public enjoyment and experiences, but also as important, dynamic laboratories for demonstrating international, regional, and local connections and the importance of stewardship across or without boundaries. From an international perspective, I will discuss how a preliminary migratory bird research project may broaden our perspective of how vastly distant and different habitats are important to species. From a regional perspective, air quality issues can not only protect park habitats but I will illustrate how other industries are attempting to contribute to solutions. On a landscape scale, Rocky Mountain National Park's elk and vegetation management plan is an example of implementing habitat restoration and being a springboard for multi-agency collaboration of habitat use, wildlife disease study, and management of elk that is important to local economies.

description: Objective: To examine (1) the prevalence of experiencing physical, injurious and sexual intimate partner violence (IPV) and (2) the associations between HIV risks and different types of IPV among women receiving care in an inner city emergency department (ED). Methods: A cross-sectional survey that elicited self-reported HIV risks and IPV among a random sample of 799 women receiving ED care. Multiple logistic regression was used to examine the associations between HIV risk and IPV, with covariance adjustment for potentially confounding sociodemographics. Results: 49.6% of the women reported a history of any form (ie, minor and severe type) of physical, injurious and/or sexual IPV, 15% severe sexual coercion (rape) over life time and 11.8% IPV in the past 6 months. Women who reported engaging in sex with a HIV-infected partner or an injecting drug user (IDU), having multiple partners in the past 12 months and injecting drugs were significantly more likely to have experienced any form of physical/injurious IPV, severe physical/injurious IPV and any form of sexual IPV in the past 6 months. In addition, women with multiple partners in the past 12 months and women who reported injecting drugs were significantly more likely to indicate having experienced a severe form of sexual IPV in the past 6 months. Conclusion: For many women receiving care in EDs, IPV and several HIV risk behaviours are frequent, co-occurring health problems. HIV testing and routine IPV inquiry in ED settings offer an important opportunity to identify women who are affected by these overlapping epidemics and refer them to appropriate treatment services.

description: Diamond is a unique material with exceptional physical and chemical properties that offers potential for the realization of high-performance devices with novel functionalities. For example diamond's high refractive index, transparency over wide wavelength range, and large Raman gain are of interest for the implementation of novel photonic devices. Recently, atom-like impurities in diamond emerged as an exceptional system for quantum information processing, quantum sensing and quantum networks. For these and other applications, it is essential to develop an integrated nanophotonic platform based on diamond. Here, we report on the realization of such an integrated diamond photonic platform, diamond on insulator (DOI), consisting of a thin single crystal diamond film on top of an insulating silicon dioxide/silicon substrate. Using this approach, we demonstrate diamond ring resonators that operate in a wide wavelength range, including the visible (630nm) and near-infrared (1,550nm). Finally, we demonstrate an integrated, on-chip quantum nanophotonic network, consisting of ring resonators coupled to low loss waveguides with grating couplers, that enables the generation and efficient routing of single photons at room temperature.

Comparative literature

description: In the text-based disciplines, psychoanalysis and Marxism have had a major influence on how we read, and this has been expressed most consistently in the practice of symptomatic reading, a mode of interpretation that assumes that a text's truest meaning lies in what it does not say, describes textual surfaces as superfluous, and seeks to unmask hidden meanings. For symptomatic readers, texts possess meanings that are veiled, latent, all but absent if it were not for their irrepressible and recurring symptoms. Noting the recent trend away from ideological demystification, this essay proposes various modes of "surface reading" that together strive to accurately depict the truth to which a text bears witness. Surface reading broadens the scope of critique to include the kinds of interpretive activity that seek to understand the complexity of literary surfaces---surfaces that have been rendered invisible by symptomatic reading.

Nursing identity and abortion work : interrupting 50 years of professional discourse
Creators: name: Haney, Catherine Margaret
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In this inquiry, I investigate the discursive processes of professional identity construction and acquisition in the context of nurses’ participation in abortion work. Guided by social linguistic theory, I have conducted an historical discourse analysis of the abortion-related articles, advertisements, editorials, and letters to the editor published in the national professional journal, The Canadian Nurse, from 1950 to 2000. I have determined that multiple abortion care identities—or the specific ideologies and practices that are normalized as legitimate nursing values and work—have been constructed for nurses through a variety of discursive moves, including didactic messaging and implicit comparison with and in contrast to other social actors and the procedure itself. Ultimately, the availability of professional identities that support abortion as legitimate nursing work enable nurses to provide and promote the physically and psychologically safe abortion services that are essential to the health and well-being of women and communities worldwide. Recommendations and strategies for evaluating and operating professional abortion discourses in practice, research, education, and policy arenas to improve women’s access to safe care are included. Additionally, the findings of this investigation are discussed within the context of professional identity nursing scholarship in general.

description: Whereas research has suggested that drug-involved men are at disproportionately high risk of engaging in transmission risk behaviors for HIV and of perpetrating intimate partner violence (IPV) against women, only a few cross-sectional studies have examined the relationship between IPV and HIV/sexually transmitted infection (STI) transmission risks among heterosexual, drug-involved men. This study builds on previous cross-sectional research by using a longitudinal design to examine the temporal relationships between perpetration of IPV and different HIV/STI transmission risks among a random sample of 356 men on methadone assessed at baseline (wave 1), 6 months (wave 2), and 12 months (wave 3). The findings indicate that (1) perpetration of IPV in the past 6 months at wave 1 was associated with having more than one intimate partner, buying sex, and sexual coercion at subsequent waves and that (2) noncondom use, injecting drugs, and sexual coercion at wave 1 were associated with subsequent IPV. The temporal relationships between perpetration of IPV and HIV risks found in this study underscore the need for HIV prevention interventions targeting men on methadone to consider IPV and HIV risks as cooccurring problems.

description: Carbon based systems are prominent candidates for a solid-state spin-qubit due to weak spin-orbit and hyperfine interactions in combination with a low natural abundance of spin carrying isotopes. We consider the effect of the hyperfine interaction on the coherence of an electron-spin localized in a graphene quantum dot. It is known, that the hyperfine interaction in these systems is anisotropic promising interesting physics. We calculate the dynamics of an electron spin surrounded by a bath of nuclear spins in a non-Markovian approach using a generalized master equation. Considering a general form of the hyperfine interaction, we are able to extend the range of validity of our results to other systems beyond graphene. For large external magnetic fields, we find within Born approximation that the electron spin state is conserved up to small corrections, which oscillate with a frequency determined by the hyperfine interaction. The amplitude of these oscillations decays with a power law, where its initial value depends on the specific form of the anisotropy. Analyzing this in more detail, we identify two distinct classes of anisotropy, which can be both found in graphene depending on the orientation of the external magnetic field with respect to the carbon layer.

description: Obesity is a significant public health issue, and many public health programs and interventions have been developed to address it. Healthy eating at the workplace is a key component of obesity pr??vention, however, evidence of its cost and effectiveness is largely missing. This dissertation took a multi-faceted approach to the evaluation of a workplace healthy-eating intervention implemented in the Alberta Health Services: Calgary Area in September 2006. The first epidemiological study provides a snapshot of the relationship between healthy eating and obesity at the Canadian population level. National dietary patterns were derived from the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) Cycle 2.2 in 2004 and the relationship between obesity and healthy eating, as reflected by the adherence to the Canada's Food Guide (CFG) in the CCHS sample, was explored. Over-consumption of Meat and Alternatives was prevalent, and positively associated with obesity. The second and third studies examined the immediate impact of the Healthy Eating Initiative (HEI). An online survey was developed to explore employees' dietary patterns at work and at home. The survey did not find evidence that employees were changing their consumption of non-recommended food at work and at home. In addition, employees who ate healthily at work also ate healthily at home. The third study used cafeteria sales data to explore the impact of HEI on employees' food purchases, especially on those items that were targeted by the Initiative. The results showed that cafeteria sales revenue did not decrease, and that sales of targeted healthy food items increased during the HEI period, after controlling for price and time. The last study modelled the effect of healthy eating in the long run using decision analysis incorporating data from the literature and the aforementioned three studies. The baseline Incremental Cost Utility Ratio (ICUR) was $9,360 per Quality Adjusted Life Years (QAL Y), but was very sensitive to changes in certain parameters, especially those that affected QALY, sucli as the relative risk (RR) of weight gain from healthy eating. This thesis provided some evidence about the impact of the HEI, and identified issues in the evaluation of such interventions that could be used to develop stronger evaluations in future.

description: Leafcutter ants of the genera Atta and Acromyrmex are among the most important agricultural and forest pests in the Neotropical region, given that they use plant matter as substrate for the growth of their mutualist fungus Leucoagaricus gongylophorus. Plant-based inseticides and fungicides have shown potential for controlling these ants. The present study assessed the hydroalcoholic extract activity of Dicksonia sellowiana, Macrothelypteris torresiana, Niphidium crassifolium, and Parapolystichum effusum fern fronds on the mutualist fungus of leafcutter ants. Fungal mycelium suspensions were seeded on the surface of tubes containing fern extracts at a concentration of 5 mg.mL-1 and 100 μg.mL-1. Fungal growth was assessed 30 days after incubation. The chemical profile of the extracts was analyzed by thin layer chromatography (TLC). At a concentration of 5 mg.mL-1, only P. effusum extract completely inhibited fungal growth, whereas inhibition was less than 50% with the other extracts and none inhibited fungal development at 100 mg.mL-1. The chemical profile analysis of the extracts of four species indicated the presence of beta-sitosterol, friedelinol, rutin, and kaempferol. Parapolystichum effusum extract exhibited potential to inhibit Leucoagaricus gongylophorus growth, and the presence of beta-sitosterol and rutin, substances known for their antifungal activity, was identified. Additional analyses for molecular identification of their chemical composition and minimum inhibitory concentration are needed.

description: In analyzing public values of wildlife, one must define the segments of the public that you want to access values regarding wildlife. Teel, T. L, et al (Wildlife Values in the West) defined publics who value wildlife. They describe these wildlife orientations in the western U.S. along several distinct dimensions. Utilitarians hold a philosophy that wildlife is for human use, and these individuals are strongly positive toward hunting and fishing. Mutualists are those who consider wildlife as part of an extended family and believe in an ideal world where people and wildlife live side-by-side without fear. Teel further describes that persons in western states vary greatly in these value orientations associated strongly with differences in state-level income, education, and urbanization. Value orientations differ on a variety of descriptive variables and their attitudes toward wildlife management issues. There is a diverse value-set associated with wildlife that may be grouped into categories including financial, recreational, social, biologic, ecologic, emotional and spiritual. Many of these values or products are quantifiable, some which create financial opportunities for landowners, thus incentivizing stewardship. There are some wildlife-related products on private lands which possess esoteric qualities with immeasurable values. Publics relate to wildlife in different ways creating a diverse relevance for wildlife and by society. Some public values which are found on private lands, such as water, appeal to both utilitarian and mutualistic publics, but those values are not necessarily perceived by those publics as a product of stewardship practices associated with land and wildlife.
