description: The lepton flavor violating $Z^{\prime}\toτμ$ decay is studied in the context of several extended models that predict the existence of the new gauge boson named $Z^\prime$. A calculation of the strength of the lepton flavor violating $Z^\primeμτ$ coupling is presented by using the most general renormalizable Lagrangian that includes lepton flavor violation. We used the experimental value of the muon magnetic dipole moment to bound this coupling, from which the $\mathrm{Re}(Ω_{Lμτ}Ω^\ast_{Rμτ})$ parameter is constrained and it is found that $\mathrm{Re}(Ω_{Lμτ}Ω^\ast_{Rμτ})\sim 10^{-2}$ for a $Z^\prime$ boson mass of 2 TeV. Alongside, we employed the experimental restrictions over the $τ\toμγ$ and $τ\toμμ^+μ^-$ processes in the context of several models that predict the existence of the $Z^\prime$ gauge boson to bound the mentioned coupling. The most restrictive bounds come from the calculation of the three-body decay. For this case, it was found that the most restrictive result is provided by a vector-like coupling, denoted as $|Ω_{μτ}|^2$, for the $Z_χ$ case, finding around $10^{-2}$ for a $Z^\prime$ boson mass of 2 TeV. We used this information to estimate the branching ratio for the $Z^\prime\toτμ$ decay. According to the analyzed models the least optimistic result is provided by the Sequential $Z$ model, which is of the order of $10^{-2}$ for a $Z^\prime$ boson mass around 2 TeV.

In vivo investigation of talin, tensin, and integrin-linked kinase dynamics at stable cell-extracellular matrix adhesions
Creators: name: Czerniecki, Stefan

description: Cell-extra cellular matrix (ECM) adhesion through the integrin family of receptors is required for metazoan development, and throughout adult life. Elucidating the mechanisms that regulate this adhesion is fundamental to understanding how animals create and maintain tissue architecture. Modulating adhesion assembly and disassembly is one of the key ways in which adhesion strength and integrity is regulated. We concentrate on analyzing the dynamics of three important components of the integrin adhesion complex (IAC), talin, tensin, and ILK, to determine how they function as mechano-sensory components of cell-ECM adhesions in the context of a living, multicellular organism, Drosophila melanogaster. We utilize fluorescently-tagged proteins under conditions of altered mechanical force, combined with a specialized fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) protocol, to examine the dynamics of talin, tensin, and ILK. We subsequently use advanced mathematical modeling to gain mechanistic insight into how protein turnover is modified by tensile force. Furthermore, we attempt to clarify the role of key talin domains in mechanosensation, using FRAP and Drosophila homologs of previously characterized talin mutations, under conditions of altered force. The results outlined in this work show that talin mobility is directly regulated by force in an intact, complex organism at sites of stable adhesion between integrins and the ECM. Moreover, the results indicate that the mobility change due to increased force is a robust process, and not easily disrupted by mutating talin domains. Changes in talin dynamics when force is reduced is an active process, and is dependent on both the physical linkage of talin to integrin, and the ability of talin to auto-inhibit. Furthermore, studies of talin, tensin, and ILK turnover with high-temporal resolution uncover the intricacies of adhesion regulation in response to changing environmental conditions, with talin primarily regulated on the level of recycling, tensin regulated by a mix of both recycling and binding, and ILK regulated through control of binding.

description: Dispersal is a key process in ecology and evolutionary biology, as it shapes biodiversity patterns over space and time. Mounting evidence is showing that attitude to disperse is unevenly distributed among individuals within animal populations, and that individual personality can have pivotal roles in the shaping of this attitude. Here, we contribute to the study of the genetic underpinnings of dispersal-related behavioral variation by assembling and annotating the first de novo transcriptome of the head tissues of Salamandra salamandra. Although dispersal occurs mostly during the post-metamorphic terrestrial life stage in this species, variation in dispersal-related personality traits is already evident at the aquatic larval stage, making it an excellent candidate species for studies of carry-over effects. We employed a structured pipeline to de-novo assemble and annotate transcripts from RNA-Seq in a set of individuals representative of distinct behavioral profiles. We obtained 1,153,432,918 reads, which were successfully de novo assembled and annotated. The high-quality assembly was confirmed by comparing BUSCO, DETONATE and TransRate with the S. salamandra dataset. By aligning the contigs against the de novo transcriptome we obtained a percentage of mapping higher than 94%. The homology annotation performed with DIAMOND led to 153,048 (blastx) and 95,942 (blastp) shared contigs, annotated on NCBI nr, Swiss-Prot and TrEMBL. The domain and site protein prediction made with InterProScan led to 9850 GO-annotated contigs. This de-novo transcriptome represents reliable reference for whole transcriptome and proteome studies of other amphibians, for designing primers to clone specific genes or monitor their expression, and for analyzing comparative gene expression profiles between alternative behavioral types.

Evaluation of the performance of frequency and chronological pairing techniques in synthesising long-term streamflow
Creators: name: Butt, Cameron McCarthy Stuart
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The mountainous regions of British Columbia, Canada, are unique landscapes that are providing opportunities for the development of small, run-of-river hydropower projects. To design these projects effectively, long-term streamflow records are required. Ideally, such designs would utilize long-term records directly from a Project site and hydrologic models used to generate site streamflow estimates would not be necessary. However, these projects are rarely located in streams with long-term records, and hydrologic models are invariably required. This research evaluates the performance of two pairing techniques that are used hydrotechnical consultants to derive long-term streamflow; Chronological Pairing (CP) and Empirical Frequency Pairing (EFP). Three hydro-climatic regimes, common in British Columbia, were investigated, including Pluvial, Glacial and Nival regimes. The evaluations discussed in this research were based on comparisons of derived long-term streamflow estimates through pairing studies, to actual measured streamflow records. The research found that EFP, which is a relatively new approach to synthetically generating long-term streamflow records, consistently out-performed CP techniques. EFP accurately and precisely modelled extremely high and low runoff percentiles (1st and 99th percentiles) as well as the mean annual discharge and Flood Frequency Analysis parameter inputs, such as the mean and standard deviation of the annual flood maxima. A key finding of this research was that between three and four years of high quality project streamflow data were necessary to provide a representative sample to derive a synthetic series that will not significantly improve with the incorporation of additional data. The results of this research will be useful when selecting hydrologic models for derivation of long-term streamflow estimates from short-term records in mountainous watersheds. The research also found several cautions in the use of both methods, but particularly in the CP method. The binding CP relationship and the influence of outliers, resulted in poor performance of CP in modelling long-term streamflow. Extrapolation above maximum measured values within the concurrent period was a technique that has a significant bearing on the accuracy and precision of the very highest percentiles, but especially on defining the variability of annual floods.

description: The project "Effects of land management on the Supply and Distribution of ecosystem services" (ESuDis) seeks to better understand the interplay of natural and anthropogenic capitals in the co-production of nature's contributions to people (NCP), including ecosystem services. In this protocol, the authors report on the project aims, the research design and methods employed during fieldwork. The protocol provides documentation and information about the 39 semi-structured interviews with foresters and conservation managers serving as basis for a social network analysis with a focus on the description of the case study sites, the selection of the respondents, the research design (rankings and interviews), the collection and the processing of the data. The interviews were conducted across three case study sites in Germany: Schorfheide-Chorin in the Northeast, Hainich-Dün in the Centre, and Schwäbische Alb in the Southwest. All three case study sites belong to the large-scale and long-term research platform Biodiversity Exploratories. The protocol is supplemented by a short definition part, a map (case study sites), the consent form and the interview design, i.e. the ranking and the interview guide.

description: Critical reflection on experience is deemed to be an essential curricular component for learning from experience that determines placement quality in experiential learning placements at the post-secondary level in programs such as engineering, nursing, and education. However, there are poor empirical connections between the use of critically reflective processes and learning outcomes. The purpose of this qualitative collective case study was to understand the reflective processes professionals use in their practice and how these processes compare with the reflective activities post-secondary instructors incorporate into their experiential learning activities in their respective professional faculties. Through focus group interviews, field notes, and professional grey literature, I sought to understand the relationship between the reflective work professionals do and the tasks instructors ask of their students during experiential learning. My synthesis suggested that professional training programs must align their reflective practices with more integrated and holistic models of reflective practice to better mirror the professional skills demanded in professional practice contexts as expressed by this study’s participants. Further because of the value placed on reflective practices, professionals in context-laden professional environments should integrate reflective activities into their practice based on emergent, iterative, and co-creative models that are more like their lived realities at work. Reflective practices which better fit and mirror these lived realities may lead to better connections between reflective activities and work outcomes. Professional practice has evolved and transformed and professionals in this study value and desire more reflective practices. Instructors should adapt to this new reality by intentionally designing reflective activities into experiential learning activities that mirror the changing professional demands noted by practicing professionals in all three disciplines. Finally, instructors should purposefully design learning activities that engage learners, initiate learning, and orient students’ attention toward reflective processes to allow them to make better professional choices in their professional contexts. This research may interest those who desire greater work-integrated and experiential learning programming at their institutions, businesses who are partners in these placements, governments who sponsor such placements, and the universities that facilitate these experiences.

The correlations between the accelerated field modes and the modes in an inertial reference cavity are periodic in the durations of the individual trajectory segments, and degradation of the correlations can be entirely avoided by fine-tuning the individual or relative durations of the segments. Analytic results for selected trajectories are presented. Differences from the corresponding bosonic correlations are identified and extensions to massive fermions are discussed.

Academic libraries and the pandemic: lessons learned and future plans

description: In this video poster presentation, the presenters will discuss how their library, at an overseas Canadian university, responded to the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as share what their “new normal” looks like. While our library’s function as a physical hub was severely hampered, it continued to play its role as a resource and saw more and more patrons turn to it for academic support. Given the disruption of normal library services, including the opportunity to seek information through the physical library help desk, blended services were offered through restricted physical library access and digital resources. Parallel to online class delivery, the library introduced an increased number of electronic devices, discussion forums, course-specific digital resources and chat services for engaging our university community. Even though we are now once again engaging face-to-face, there remains a need for instruction and resources to navigate an online environment (Ziv & Bene, 2022). In the case of students, especially those suffering from social inequalities, it can be harmful to buy into the myth that they are digital natives (Enyon, 2020), with the know-how to operate in and analyze online environments. Similarly, faculty may no longer need the level of support they did during emergency remote teaching, but there is always room for improving teaching-with-technology methods. The pandemic cemented the core role libraries play in promoting and supporting information and digital literacy. The presentation will discuss the practices that the library is consciously continuing with post-pandemic. References Enyon, R. (2020).

description: Stress fractures are common injuries among runners and military personnel associated with the mechanical fatigue of load-bearing bone. The tibia is the most frequently fractured site and females are at much greater risk than males. Bone geometry and density are hypothesized risk factors for stress fracture and are thought to contribute to the disparity in risk between sexes via their influence on bone strain magnitude which is strongly related to the rate of mechanical fatigue. However, covariation between these two complex factors and their influence on the strain environment of the tibia are not well characterised. The overarching goal of this thesis was to develop a more nuanced understanding of the mechanical implications of tibial-fibular geometry and density variations present in young active adults. A series of studies were performed utilizing a combination of advanced medical imaging, statistical approaches, gait data, and the finite element method to characterise and quantify covariations in whole-bone tibial-fibular geometry and density distributions and their influence on bone strain. Transverse diaphyseal geometry and sagittal curvature were identified as key features that likely influence stress fracture risk, demonstrating substantial effects on finite element-predicted bone strain. Additionally, the average female illustrated a narrower tibia which resulted in elevated bone strain when compared to the average male, suggesting that bone geometry likely contributes to the disparity in stress fracture risk between sexes. As we work towards improving predictive models and developing effective screening tools for stress fracture risk, these findings provide insights into key features of bone geometry and density that will need to be accurately characterised. Landmark- and anthropometric-based predictions of tibial-fibular geometry and density were not sufficiently accurate, indicating that some level of advanced medical imaging data will be necessary to generate personalised models or characterise geometry and density features associated with stress fracture risk.

description: This paper considers a p-dimensional time series model of the form x(t)=Π x(t-1)+Σ^(1/2)y(t), 1≤t≤T, where y(t)=(y(t1),...,y(tp))^T and Σ is the square root of a symmetric positive definite matrix. Here Π is a symmetric matrix which satisfies that ∥Π ∥_2≤ 1 and T(1-∥Π ∥_min) is bounded. The linear processes Y(tj) is of the form ∑_{k=0}^∞b(k)Z(t-k,j) where ∑_{i=0}^∞|b(i)| < ∞ and {Z(ij) } are are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables with E Zij=0, E|Z(ij)|²=1 and E|Z(ij)|^4< ∞. We first investigate the asymptotic behavior of the first k largest eigenvalues of the sample covariance matrices of the time series model. Then we propose a new estimator for the high-dimensional near unit root setting through using the largest eigenvalues of the sample covariance matrices and use it to test for near unit roots. Such an approach is theoretically novel and addresses some important estimation and testing issues in the high-dimensional near unit root setting. Simulations are also conducted to demonstrate the finite-sample performance of the proposed test statistic.
Flavor-SU(3) tests from $D^0 \to K^0 K^- π^+$ and $D^0 \to \bar K^0 K^+ π^-$ Dalitz plots

description: The processes $D^0\to K^0 K^-π^+$ and $D^0\to\ok K^+π^-$ involve intermediate vector resonances whose amplitudes and phases are related to each other via flavor-SU(3) symmetry. Dalitz plots for these two processes can shed light on the usefulness of this symmetry in studying charm decays. Until this year the only available data on this process came from a conference report in 2002 by the BaBar Collaboration, but now an independent data sample of higher statistics has become available from the CLEO Collaboration. The goal is to predict Dalitz plot amplitudes and phases assuming flavor-SU(3) symmetry and compare them with experiment. An SU(3) fit can account for the relative magnitudes of the amplitudes for the decays $D^0 \to K^{*-}K^+$ and $D^0 \to K^{*+}K^-$, but neither the current BaBar sample (based on an integrated luminosity of 22 fb$^{-1}$) nor the CLEO analysis has significant evidence for the decays $D^0\to K^{*0}\ok$ and $D^0 \to \oks K^0$. At this level one is unable to compare magnitudes and phases with theoretical predictions. The purpose of this Letter is to advocate an analysis using the full BaBar sample (more than 20 times the 2002 value). It should definitively determine whether predicted magnitudes and phases agree with experiment. A similar analysis should be possible with an even larger sample of events collected by the Belle Collaboration at KEK-B.

description: 1Q84, ultimo romanzo di Murakami Haruki, sembra esprimere il disagio dell’uomo contemporaneo, che è vittima dello smarrimento dovuto agli orrori delle società e alla perdita di ogni certezza. Trasceso il mondo reale e dunque abbandonato il 1984, l’anno in cui vivono i protagonisti, “1Q84” (dove la Q di question mark consente l’insinuarsi surrettizio di un dubbio sempre nuovo) è dunque una “metarealtà;” un distopico viaggio di sola andata, una deriva irreversibile dagli accenti postmoderni. La recensione che presentiamo vorrebbe offrire una chiave di lettura in questa direzione.

description: We investigate experimentally the spatial distributions of heavy and neutrally buoyant particles of finite size in a fully turbulent flow. As their Stokes number (i.e. ratio of the particle viscous relaxation time to a typical flow time scale) is close to 1, one may expect both classes of particles to aggregate in specific flow regions. This is not observed. Using a Voronoi analysis we show that neutrally buoyant particles sample turbulence homogeneously, whereas heavy particles do cluster. One implication for the understanding and modeling of particle laden flows, is that the Stokes number cannot be the sole key parameter as soon as the dynamics of finite-size objects is considered.

Per quanto riguarda la pars costruens pongo invece il seguente interrogativo: la proposta filosofica di Ferraris si può ancora considerare filosofia?

Creators: name: Purcell-Sjolund, Anita
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2021

description: ‘Going tribal’ programmes are hybrids of documentary and reality television. I call these programmes ethnotainment which is a product of primitivism reality television. As a hybrid product, ethnotainment works in the liminal spaces of media. Within the post-colonial theoretical context, liminal spaces are ideological spaces in between designated identities, and processes of identity and self-hood are negotiated within these spaces. Post-colonial Pacific discourse often de-create and subvert coloniality through subaltern narratives, and they can be in liminal spaces. However, as already noted, ‘going tribal’ programmes are also in liminal spaces. Since some programmes feature colonised and post-colonial Pacific peoples, they can also be in the same liminal space as post-colonial Pacific discourse. In my research, I examine programmes of Euro-American adventurers travelling to remote locations to contact endangered peoples. Their aim is to live as ‘one of the tribe’. These programmes are what I call transnational ethnotainment. I also discuss what I refer to as Pasifika ethnotainment. These are programmes produced by New Zealanders with Pacific Island backgrounds in former colonial centres in the Pacific such as New Zealand. The main theme is the journey to a cultural homeland. This dissertation considers issues regarding 1) What happens when an ethnotainment product participates in liminal spaces of post-colonial discourse? (2) How does this affect discourse subversion from the filmed indigenous groups? Edgewalking is a concept contesting liminality and hybridity and, as this dissertation shows, the filmed indigenous groups can be seen to edgewalk the borders of their cultural and social contexts. As edgewalkers, these groups, as subjects and objects of the camera’s lens, create subversive methods, despite not controlling the camera. The filmed groups control the presenter’s perception of himself and of them by controlling access to their cultural cosmologies. This creates moments of ambiguity and ambivalence, despite minimalisation, through explicit editing. In this conceptual framework, analyses of a selection of ethnotainment programmes are done using an adaptation of a methodology from Linguistics called Segmented Film Discourse Representation Structure Theory. This adapted methodology is used to unpack how, in the final programme cut, these representations of Pacific peoples demonstrate a (re-)imagining of Pacific cultures. This process can be seen to be repeated in this ethnotainment genre, regardless of who the main protagonist is, or the documentary production values’ claim to represent the indigenous voice.

description: Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a set of principles that can be used to guide course design and delivery with the goal of enhancing the learning for the greatest number of students. Incorporating UDL in higher education is complex, varied and nuanced work that instructors are doing to meet the learning needs of students in their classes. In this guide we illuminate different ways in which UDL principles have been implemented across disciplines and in different ways to enhance student learning. Each chapter offers a case of how UDL has been incorporated into learning experiences in higher education. Our goal is to provide discipline-based examples of courses that illustrate how UDL can be incorporated into a higher education context. Along the way, we hope you will be inspired by the work of others. We wish you great success in your journey to teach courses that are increasingly accessible and inclusive!

description: We apply the monodromy method for the calculation of the functional determinant of a special second order differential operator $F=-d^2/dτ^2+{\ddot g}/g$, $\ddot g= d^2g/dτ^2$, subject to periodic boundary conditions with a periodic zero mode $g=g(τ)$. This operator arises in applications of the early Universe theory and, in particular, determines the one-loop statistical sum for the microcanonical ensemble in cosmology generated by a conformal field theory (CFT). This ensemble realizes the concept of cosmological initial conditions by generalizing the notion of the no-boundary wavefunction of the Universe to the level of a special quasi-thermal state which is dominated by instantons with an oscillating scale factor of their Euclidean Friedmann-Robertson-Walker metric. These oscillations result in the multi-node nature of the zero mode $g(τ)$ of $F$, which is gauged out from its reduced functional determinant by the method of the Faddeev-Popov gauge fixing procedure. The calculation is done for a general case of multiple nodes (roots) within the period range of the Euclidean time $τ$, thus generalizing the previously known result for the single-node case of one oscillation of the cosmological scale factor. The functional determinant of $F$ expresses in terms of the monodromy of its basis function, which is obtained in quadratures as a sum of contributions of time segments connecting neighboring pairs of the zero mode roots within the period range.

description: Motor learning is a pillar of stroke rehabilitation. Indeed, many therapeutic protocols and interventions are based on principles of motor learning. One of the assumptions made in rehabilitation is that motor learning remains intact after stroke and can be leveraged to facilitate recovery. However, a growing body of evidence has shown that motor learning can be impaired after stroke. Our understanding of how stroke influences the neural and behavioural processes that support motor learning is incomplete. This raises questions about how well our current understanding of motor learning, derived predominantly from studies in healthy adults, applies to stroke rehabilitation. The following dissertation describes four studies that examine reaching movements and a specific type of motor learning known as motor adaptation. This type of learning encompasses the processes that help to maintain accurate movements amidst changes in the body, environment, and task demands. Across three experiments in healthy adults (Chapter Two) and three experiments in participants with stroke (Chapters Three, Four, and Five), we characterized motor adaptation in health and disease. Overall, the works in this dissertation demonstrate the utility of robotics for quantifying motor adaptation. Impaired adaptation after stroke was associated with several clinical variables including: the side of the stroke affected limb (i.e., dominant versus non-dominant), time post-stroke, movement performance, proprioceptive abilities, and clinical assessments of motor impairment and functional independence. Notably these variables accounted for only a small portion of the variance in motor adaptation after stroke, suggesting that other clinical variables (e.g., lesion characteristics or other types of impairments) may be associated with adaptation after stroke. Our results reveal widespread impairments in visuomotor adaptation after stroke and generate numerous questions about the basic mechanisms underlying motor adaptation and how adaptation applies to stroke rehabilitation.

description: We describe explicitly the cohomology of the total complex of certain diagrams of invertible sheaves on normal toric varieties. These diagrams, called wheels, arise in the study of toric singularities associated to dimer models. Our main tool describes the generators in a family of syzygy modules associated to the wheel in terms of walks in a family of graphs.

A Machine Learning-Based Forecasting Tool for Carbon Dioxide Enhanced Gas Recovery Associated with Carbon Storage in Shale Gas Reservoirs

description: The use of machine learning (ML) in the study of CO2 storage is a hot topic, but the feasibility of applying ML to complex reservoir conditions, such as those with CO2 enhanced shale gas recovery (CO2-ESGR), remains untested. This research aims to develop a novel multi-task ML workflow using simulation data to provide an effective and timesaving approach for the evaluation of CO2 storage and enhanced gas recovery during CO2-ESGR. A three-stage reservoir model, including primary recovery, CO2-ESGR, and CO2 storage, using the Barnett Shale formation as the basis of research was developed to determine the sensitivities of various parameters and provide the data for subsequent ML modeling. A composite ML model, which consists of a combination of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Long Short-term Memory (LSTM) algorithms, was used to provide better forecasting performance. The two parts of this ML model include the prediction of gas production during CO2-ESGR and CO2 storage during the CO2 storage stage; its other functionalities include a switching criterion and prediction of CO2 storage during CO2-ESGR. These two parts were optimized by tuning the algorithm hyperparameters and further combined into one model to validate the simulation results. The results show that both gas recovery during CO2-ESGR and CO2 storage during the CO2 storage stage were mainly affected by seven key features, which include matrix porosity, fracture porosity, pressure gradient, geothermal gradient, hydraulic fracture conductivity, and adsorption properties of CO2 and CH4. By applying the ML model, the results on gas recovery during CO2-ESGR were matched with simulation results with an accuracy of 99.9986% for CH4 production and an accuracy of 99.995% for CO2 production. Additionally, the monthly CO2 storage during the CO2 storage process achieved a match to the simulation results with an accuracy of 99.7%. Furthermore, the ML model was economized 99.9% on computational efficiency compared to reservoir simulations. The greatest advantage of this novel ML model is that it can accurately predict production and storage in both CO2-ESGR and CO2 storage without the need of historical production data.

description: For direct dark matter detections, to extract useful information about the fundamental interaction from data, it is crucial to properly determine the nuclear form factor. The form factor for spin-independent cross section of collisions between dark matter particle and nucleus is thoroughly studied by many authors. When the analysis was carried out, the nuclei are always supposed to be spherically symmetric. In this work, we investigate the effects of deformation of nuclei from a spherical shape to an elliptical shape on the form factor. Our results indicate that as long as the ellipticity is not too large, such effects cannot cause any substantial effects, especially as the nuclei are randomly orientated in a room temperature circumstance one can completely neglect them.

description: In this work, the warped product of Hamilton spaces is introduced and it is shown that these spaces obtain Hamiltonian structure as well. Then, the geometric properties of warped product Hamilton spaces such as their nonlinear connections and natural cotangent bundle structures are studied. Moreover, we prove some theorems that show geometric relation between warped product Hamiltonian space and its base Hamiltonian manifolds. For example, we prove that for non-constant warped function $f$, the sasaki lifted metric $G$ of Hamiltonian warped product space is bundle-like for its vertical foliation if and only if based Hamiltonian spaces are Riemannian manifolds.
