description: Relatively recent reforms of the Swiss higher education system have elevated former institutions of vocational training and education to the tertiary level and tasked them with the same public remit more traditional universities have to fulfill. The integration of research by the new universities of applied sciences and arts (UASes) and universities of teacher education (UTEs) necessitates staff with different competencies favoring academics. This prompted concerns that processes of academization could lead to a gap between the demand of society and industry forhighly educated practitioners and the education provided by the new institutions.

description: Introduction: Many patients sensitized to mites remain symptomatic and uncontrolled despite traditional treatment. Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) has demonstrated to reduce the symptoms of allergic rhinitis, the need for additional drug treatments, and to reduce the number of moderate and severe exacerbations in patients with allergic asthma caused by mites that had not been adequately controlled. Areas covered: After reviewing the most recent literature, a scientific committee composed by five pneumologists experts in asthma proposed 41 items that addressed the diagnosis of allergic asthma caused by mites, the role of house dust mite (HDM) SLIT tablet in the therapeutic plan and in the control of the disease, and the profile of patients with asthma candidates for this therapy. Through a modified Delphi method, the items were send to 106 pneumologists involved in asthma to be agreed. Expert opinion: The high degree of consensus reached by the panel of pneumologists shows the importance of HDM SLIT tablet in the treatment of allergic asthma caused by mites, particularly taking into account that they barely use this therapy because until now they did not have a registered treatment with solid evidence of efficacy and safety.

description: We present a combined X-ray and optical analysis of three bimodal galaxy clusters selected as merging candidates at z ~ 0.1. These targets are part of MUSIC (MUlti--Wavelength Sample of Interacting Clusters), which is a general project designed to study the physics of merging clusters by means of multi-wavelength observations. Observations include spectro-imaging with XMM-Newton EPIC camera, multi-object spectroscopy (260 new redshifts), and wide-field imaging at the ESO 3.6m and 2.2m telescopes. We build a global picture of these clusters using X-ray luminosity and temperature maps together with galaxy density and velocity distributions. Idealized numerical simulations were used to constrain the merging scenario for each system. We show that A2933 is very likely an equal-mass advanced pre-merger ~ 200 Myr before the core collapse, while A2440 and A2384 are post-merger systems ~ 450 Myr and ~1.5 Gyr after core collapse, respectively). In the case of A2384, we detect a spectacular filament of galaxies and gas spreading over more than 1 h^{-1} Mpc, which we infer to have been stripped during the previous collision. The analysis of the MUSIC sample allows us to outline some general properties of merging clusters: a strong luminosity segregation of galaxies in recent post-mergers; the existence of preferential axes --corresponding to the merging directions-- along which the BCGs and structures on various scales are aligned; the concomitance, in most major merger cases, of secondary merging or accretion events, with groups infalling onto the main cluster, and in some cases the evidence of previous merging episodes in one of the main components. These results are in good agreement with the hierarchical scenario of structure formation, in which clusters are expected to form by successive merging events, and matter is accreted along large--scale filaments.
COBRA-like4 : a GPI-anchored protein functioning as a mediator of cellulose ultrastructure in herbaceous and woody plants
Creators: name: McNair, Grant
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Cellulose biosynthesis is a dynamic and specialized cellular process with multiple layers of organization. This abundant, vital polymer is synthesized by cellulose synthase complexes (CSCs) localized at the plasma membrane. Cellulose chains are extruded into the apoplast, and rapidly self-assemble into microfibrils. The mechanisms controlling organization of the product, cellulose microfibrils, are still unclear. The GPI-anchored protein COBRA (COB), localized at the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane, is required for normal cellulose deposition in primary cell walls. A closely related protein, COBRA-LIKE4 (COBL4), is required for secondary cell cellulose organization. Loss-of-function, in Arabidopsis cobl4 mutants originally called irregular xylem 6 (irx6), results in reduced cellulose content, cellulose of lower crystallinity, and thinner secondary cell walls. To better understand COBL4 function, I investigated the chemical and ultrastructural properties of novel irx6-2 and irx6-3 alleles of Arabidopsis. I followed this up by demonstrating functional conservation between COBL4 in woody (Populus trichocarpa) and herbaceous (Arabidopsis) species. A fluorescently labelled poplar COBL4, PtCOB4a, was co-localized with secondary cell wall thickenings in an inducible Arabidopsis protoxylem experimental system. To further refine our understanding the molecular role of COBL4, AtCOBL4 was over-expressed in hybrid poplar, in a secondary cell wall specific manner. Increased AtCOBL4 abundance did not significantly alter cell wall derived glucose content compared to control plants; this was confirmed by the absence of a significant increase in α-cellulose. The ultra-structural characteristics of deposited cellulose, specifically cellulose DP and cellulose crystallinity, were significantly increased in a number of over expression lines relative to control trees. These findings confirm COBL4 as a protein involved in organizing cellulose biosynthesis in plants. The increased cellulose DP and subsequent proportion of crystalline cellulose suggest that COBL4, in part, affects cellulose biosynthesis efficiency. To further resolve the role that cellulose ultrastructure plays in limiting intrusive tip growth of fibre cells, we measured xylary fibre lengths of AtCOBL4 overexpression poplar lines. Overexpression lines had on average shorter fibres than wild-type trees. This demonstrates that increased DP and the overall structural organization of cellulose, mediated by AtCOBL4, may be sufficient to restrict intrusive growth of fibre cells.
Measurement of the top quark-pair production cross section with ATLAS in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7\TeV$

description: A measurement of the production cross-section for top quark pairs($\ttbar$) in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7 \TeV$ is presented using data recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Events are selected in two different topologies: single lepton (electron $e$ or muon $μ$) with large missing transverse energy and at least four jets, and dilepton ($ee$, $μμ$ or $eμ$) with large missing transverse energy and at least two jets. In a data sample of 2.9 pb-1, 37 candidate events are observed in the single-lepton topology and 9 events in the dilepton topology. The corresponding expected backgrounds from non-$\ttbar$ Standard Model processes are estimated using data-driven methods and determined to be $12.2 \pm 3.9$ events and $2.5 \pm 0.6$ events, respectively. The kinematic properties of the selected events are consistent with SM $\ttbar$ production. The inclusive top quark pair production cross-section is measured to be $\sigmattbar=145 \pm 31 ^{+42}_{-27}$ pb where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. The measurement agrees with perturbative QCD calculations.

description: After Aceh's quake many earthquakes have struck Indonesia alternately and even other disasters have been a threat for every citizen in this country. Actually an everyday occurrence on earth and more than 3 million earthquakes occur every year, about 8,000 a day, or one every 11 seconds in Indonesia there are 5 to 30 quakes prediction everyday. Government's responsibility to protect the citizen has been done by making National body of disaster management. Preparing, saving and distribution logistic become National body of disaster management's responsibility to build information management. Many law's products have been produced as a government's responsibility to give secure life for the citizen. We can not prevent them totally, we have to learn to live with them and need to be prepared all the time, need to learn how to mitigate risk of losses in such events by managing crisis and emergencies correctly. After disaster happens respond must be rapidly and at an optimal level to save lives and help to victims. DSS is information technology environment which can be used to help human in order to learn from past earthquake, record it, learn and plan for future mitigation and hope will reduce the disaster risk in the future. Using web technology for DSS will give value added where not only make a strategic decision for the decision maker, but for others who need national earthquake information like citizen, scholars, researches and people around the world.

description: Using the Resonance Chiral Theory lagrangian, we perform a calculation of the vector form factor of the pion at the next-to-leading order (NLO) in the $1/N_C$ expansion. Imposing the correct QCD short-distance constraints, one determines it in terms of $F$, $G_V$, $F_A$ and resonance masses. Its low momentum expansion fixes then the low-energy chiral couplings $L_{9}$ and $C_{88}-C_{90}$ at NLO, keeping full control of their renormalization scale dependence. At $μ_0=0.77$ GeV, we obtain $L_{9}^r(μ_0) = (7.6 \pm 0.6)\cdot 10^{-3}$ and $C_{88}^r(μ_0)-C_{90}^r(μ_0)=(-4.5 \pm 0.5)\cdot 10^{-5}$.

description: We present the results of a low-resolution spectral abundance study of 25 stars in the Bootes I dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy. The data were obtained with the LRIS instrument at Keck Observatory, and allow us to measure [Fe/H], [C/Fe], and [alpha/Fe] for each star. We find both a large spread in metallicity (2.1 dex in [Fe/H]) as well as the low average metallicity in this system, =-2.59, matching previous estimates. This sample includes a newly discovered extremely metal-poor star, with [Fe/H]=-3.8, that is one of the most metal-poor stars yet found in a dSph. We compare the metallicity distribution function of Bootes I to analytic chemical evolution models. While the metallicity distribution function of Bootes I is best fit by an Extra Gas chemical evolution model, leaky-box models also provide reasonable fits. We also find that the [alpha/Fe] distribution and the carbon-enhanced metal-poor fraction of our sample (12%) are reasonable matches to Galactic halo star samples in the same metallicity range, indicating that at these low metallicities, systems like the Bootes I ultra-faint dSph could have been contributors to the Galactic halo.

The story of an idea : moving with a playmaking education
Creators: name: MacKenzie, Donard Anthony James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: This dissertation combines the disciplines of theatre, film, and education through a living inquiry which tells the life story of a playwriting idea. I document my playwriting process for a new full-length play written from research-based sources, which include in-person work at archives in London, UK and Los Angeles, CA. I examine the source of the idea and its continued influences. I move with its evolving nature through the interstitial spaces, especially as it pertains to what I term Father/author(ity), a relational presence within my creative writing. I ask what the making of art may teach if we are able to accept the invitation to learn. The subject (and object) of my study moves through the charged creative dynamics in the making of the 1962 biographical film, Freud (Huston). The resulting play, The Freudian Palimpsest of Monty and John, was staged and read for an invited audience as part of the research. I locate my work as a combination of theory as practice within an extended community of playwrights, drama educators, and theatre artists. I reference Freud’s theories of play and writing (Freud & Nelson, 2009), as I inquire through the arts based educational research method of a/r/tography, which sees knowing/making/doing as métissage. To make what Brook has called the “invisible visible” (1968, p. 48), I use dialogues and prose poems and auto/biographic narrative reflections on the source idea(s). I reveal some elusive ‘understandings’ offered as a playmaking education from within the process. The importance of learning through questions as provoked by making the play is analysed. The organizational concepts of the palimpsest and underwriting and Freud’s magic slate are examined. I reflect on the role of fear in creative writing. I offer Britzman-like notes on the “teacher’s illness” (2009, p. 123) and the redemptive joy of making art. Through seeing the entire project as an exegesis, a recursive, reflexive and responsive description of the story of a source idea for a playwriting process, I bridge the gap of knowledge by building further understandings of father/author(ity) and playmaking education.

description: The outbreak of war in 1914 resulted in an unprecedented influx of foreign citizens who travelled to and through Norway. The population of Norway was relatively heterogeneous and the increase in foreigners raised concerns among both decision-makers and society. During the latter part of the war, the uncovering of several German spy networks strengthened these fears. Norwegian authorities responded by introducing legislation that gave the police the ability to enforce stricter control and monitoring of foreigners and other groups defined as “outsiders”. This surveillance regime promoted ethnic cohesion and would have long-term consequences for ethnic minorities in Norway.

description: IRONMAN (IMA) peptides play an important role in iron (Fe) uptake (Grillet et al., 2018, Hirayama et al., 2018), and tolerance to non-available Fe (navFe) or alkaline condition (Gautam et al., 2021) where Fe is poorly available. Overexpression of IMAs result into upregulation of Fe-uptake, and coumarin pathway (Grillet et al., 2018, Hirayama et al., 2018, Gautam et al., 2021). Both IMA1(At1g47400) and IMA2(At1g47395) overexpressing lines shows tolerance to alkalinity in terms of better Fe uptake, and higher chlorophyll content in their shoots (Gautam et al., 2021). However, the root phenotype of these lines under navFe have been not been reported previously. Considering the significance of roots in nutrients uptake and response to edaphic factors, it becomes important to study their roots. Meng et al., 2021 have recently reported the increase in root length of IMA1ox lines under Fe-deficient condition created by Ferrozine addition into the nutrient media with no external Fe source. However, the root phenotype under navFe, which reflects the near-natural Fe-deficiency condition have not been reported. Here, we report our observation that the IMA1 overexpression lines show longer root length under navFe condition as compared to wild type (Col-0) seedlings (Fig. 1). In summary, overexpression of IMA1 leads to longer root length under Fe-deficiency induced by either Ferrozine at physiological pH, or FeCl3 at circumneutral pH.

For incommensurate filling, four gapless phases with a spin gap are found and consist of two superconducting instabilities and two coexisting bond and charge density-waves instabilities. In the half-filled case, seven Mott-insulating phases arise with the emergence of four non-degenerate phases with exotic hidden orderings.

description: Bilayer graphene has drawn significant attention due to the opening of a band gap in its low energy electronic spectrum, which offers a promising route to electronic applications. The gap can be either tunable through an external electric field or spontaneously formed through an interaction-induced symmetry breaking. Our scanning tunneling measurements reveal the microscopic nature of the bilayer gap to be very different from what is observed in previous macroscopic measurements or expected from current theoretical models. The potential difference between the layers, which is proportional to charge imbalance and determines the gap value, shows strong dependence on the disorder potential, varying spatially in both magnitude and sign on a microscopic level. Furthermore, the gap does not vanish at small charge densities. Additional interaction-induced effects are observed in a magnetic field with the opening of a subgap when the zero orbital Landau level is placed at the Fermi energy.

description: Thermodynamics of small systems has become an important field of statistical physics. They are driven out of equilibrium by a control, and the question is naturally posed how such a control can be optimized. We show that optimization problems in small system thermodynamics are solved by (deterministic) optimal transport, for which very efficient numerical methods have been developed, and of which there are applications in Cosmology, fluid mechanics, logistics, and many other fields. We show, in particular, that minimizing expected heat released or work done during a non-equilibrium transition in finite time is solved by Burgers equation of Cosmology and mass transport by the Burgers velocity field. Our contribution hence considerably extends the range of solvable optimization problems in small system thermodynamics.

description: In this work we investigate the equilibration dynamics after a sudden Hamiltonian quench of a quantum spin system initially prepared in a thermal state. To characterize the equilibration we evaluate the Loschmidt echo, a global measure for the degree of distinguishability between the initial and time-evolved quenched states. We present general results valid for small quenches and detailed analysis of the quantum XY chain. The result is that quantum criticality manifests, even at small but finite temperatures, in a universal double-peaked form of the echo statistics and poor equilibration for sufficiently relevant perturbations. In addition, for this model we find a tight lower bound on the Loschmidt echo in terms of the purity of the initial state and the more-easily-evaluated Hilbert-Schmidt inner product between initial and time-evolved quenched states. This bound allows us to relate the time-averaged Loschmidt echo with the purity of the time-averaged state, a quantity that has been shown to provide an upper bound on the variance of observables.

description: We have mapped the northern area (30' times 20') of a local group spiral galaxy M33 in 12CO(J=1-0) line with the 45-m telescope at the Nobeyama Radio Observatory. Along with Halpha and Spitzer 24-micron data, we have investigated the relationship between the surface density of molecular gas mass and that of star formation rate (SFR) in an external galaxy (Kennicutt-Schmidt law) with the highest spatial resolution (~80pc) to date, which is comparable to scales of giant molecular clouds (GMCs). At positions where CO is significantly detected, the SFR surface density exhibits a wide range of over four orders of magnitude, from Sigma(SFR)<10^{-10} to ~10^{-6}M_solar yr^{-1} pc^{-2}, whereas the Sigma(H2) values are mostly within 10 to 40 M_solar pc^{-2}. The surface density of gas and that of SFR correlate well at a 1-kpc resolution, but the correlation becomes looser with higher resolution and breaks down at GMC scales. The scatter of the Sigma(SFR)-Sigma(H2) relationship in the 80-pc resolution results from the variety of star forming activity among GMCs, which is attributed to the various evolutionary stages of GMCs and to the drift of young clusters from their parent GMCs. This result shows that the Kennicutt-Schmidt law is valid only in scales larger than that of GMCs, when we average the spatial offset between GMCs and star forming regions, and their various evolutionary stages.

description: We present a systematic investigation of the crystal and electronic structure and the magnetic properties above and below the metal-insulator transition of ball-milled VO$_2$ nanoparticles and VO$_2$ microparticles. For this research, we performed a Rietveld analysis of synchrotron radiation x-ray diffraction data, O $K$ x-ray absorption spectroscopy, V $L_3$ resonant inelastic x-ray scattering, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. This study reveals an unusual low-temperature phase that involves the formation of an elongated and less-tilted V-V pair, a narrowed energy gap, and an induced paramagnetic contribution from the nanoparticles. We show that the change in the crystal structure is consistent with the change in the electronic states around the Fermi level, which leads us to suggest that the Peierls mechanism contributes to the energy splitting of the $a_{1g}$ state. Furthermore, we find that the high-temperature rutile structure of the nanoparticles is almost identical to that of the microparticles.

Quantification of morphological changes of the cervical spinal cord during traumatic spinal cord injury in a rodent model
Creators: name: Bhatnagar, Timothy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Traumatic spinal cord injury initiates a complex pathophysiological process that eventually manifests as persistent tissue damage and possible permanent loss of neurologic function. Current experimental models are limited to measuring the gross mechanical response of the spinal cord during injury; thus, little is known about how the internal tissues of the spinal cord deform during injury. The general aims of this research were to develop a method to observe the internal deformations of the in vivo rat spinal cord during clinically-relevant injury models and to determine if the patterns of deformation were correlated to tissue damage manifesting after the injury. To facilitate this work, a novel apparatus and a number of novel methods were developed. First, an apparatus that was capable of inducing contusion and dislocation spinal cord injuries in an in vivo rat model, inside of an MR scanner, was developed. The reported contusion and dislocation injury speeds were comparable with existing spinal cord injury devices, and contusion injury magnitudes showed good accuracy and precision. The device facilitated direct observation and differentiation of the morphological change of the spinal cord tissues during injury. The three-dimensional tissue motion was quantified using a state-of-the-art deformable image registration algorithm that produced displacement fields throughout the volume of the spinal cord around the site of the injury. Furthermore, the image registration methods were validated against a gold-standard. The displacement fields were used to generate transverse-plane mechanical finite strain fields in the spinal cord and the contusion and dislocation injury mechanisms produced distinctly different patterns of tissue deformation in the spinal cord. Lastly, the relationship between mechanical strain and the ensuing tissue damage was investigated in the ventral horns of the gray matter of the spinal cord. This work suggests that compressive strain contributes to the tissue damage in the ventral horns of the gray matter. However, the most important conclusion from this work is that internal observation of the spinal cord tissue during injury provides an invaluable experimental data set that can be used to improve our understanding of the relationship between deformation during injury and manifestation of damage.
Pakal: A Three-dimensional Model to Solve the Radiative Transfer Equation

description: We present a new numerical model called "Pakal" intended to solve the radiative transfer equation in a three-dimensional (3D) geometry, using the approximation for a locally plane-parallel atmosphere. Pakal uses pre-calculated radial profiles of density and temperature (based on hydrostatic, hydrodynamic, or MHD models) to compute the emission from 3D source structures with high spatial resolution. Then, Pakal solves the radiative transfer equation in a set of (3D) ray paths, going from the source to the observer. Pakal uses a new algorithm to compute the radiative transfer equation by using an intelligent system consisting of three structures: a cellular automaton; an expert system; and a program coordinator. The code outputs can be either two-dimensional maps or one-dimensional profiles, which reproduce the observations with high accuracy, giving detailed physical information about the environment where the radiation was generated and/or transmitted. We present the model applied to a 3D solar radial geometry, assuming a locally plane-parallel atmosphere, and thermal free-free radio emission from hydrogen-helium gas in thermodynamic equilibrium. We also present the convergence test of the code. We computed the synthetic spectrum of the centimetric-millimetric solar emission and found better agreement with observations (up to $10^4$ K at 20 GHz) than previous models reported in the literature. The stability and convergence test show the high accuracy of the code. Finally, Pakal can improve the integration time by up to an order of magnitude compared against linear integration codes.

The role of peripheral NMDA receptors in nerve growth factor-induced muscle pain
Creators: name: Wong, Hayes Ga-Hei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Intramuscular injections of nerve growth factor (NGF) into human masseter muscle induce a local mechanical sensitization that mimics the symptoms of myofascial pain in patients with temporomandibular disorders. I hypothesize that NGF induces the myofascial mechanical sensitization in part by increasing the expression of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in primary afferent neurons. In behavioral experiments, injection of NGF into rat masseter muscle induced a prolonged local mechanical sensitization that was greater in female rats than in male rats. This NGF-induced sensitization was partly attenuated by a local injection of the NMDA receptor antagonist APV at 3 days post NGF injection in the male rats but not in the female rats. Immunohistochemical studies found that this NGF-induced mechanical sensitization was accompanied by the increased expression of NMDA receptor subtype 2B (NR2B) in trigeminal ganglion neurons innervating the masseter muscle in both sexes, as well as an increase in the average soma size of NR2B-expressing neurons. An increase in the expression of neuropeptides (CGRP/SP) was also observed in the female rats but not in the male rats. In in vivo extracellular recordings of masseter trigeminal ganglion neurons, NGF increased NMDA-induced mechanical sensitization in the male rats but not in the female rats. However, in the female rats, this effect was greater in slow Aδ fibers (2-7 m/s) than fast Aδ fibers (>7-12 m/s). My results suggest that NGF-induced mechanical sensitization is mediated, in part, through an effect on peripheral NMDA receptors in a sexually dimorphic manner.

Behavior of quantum entropies in polaronic systems

description: Quantum entropies and state distances are analyzed in polaronic systems with short range (Holstein model) and long range (Fr$\ddot{o}$hlich model) electron-phonon coupling. These quantities are extracted by a variational wave function which describes very accurately polaron systems with arbitrary size in all the relevant parameter regimes. With the use of quantum information tools, the crossover region from weak to strong coupling regime can be characterized with high precision. Then, the linear entropy is found to be very sensitive to the range of the electron-phonon coupling and the adiabatic ratio. Finally, the entanglement entropy is studied as a function of the system size pointing out that it not bounded, but scales as the logarithm of the size either for weak electron-phonon coupling or for short range interaction. This behavior is ascribed to the peculiar coupling induced by the single electron itinerant dynamics on the phonon subsystem.
