description: Mindfulness-based interventions have received empirical support in recent decades for the management of symptoms related to depression, anxiety (Hofmann, Sawyer, Witt, & Oh, 2010) and chronic pain (Chiesa & Serretti, 2011). These interventions often provide training in mindfulness practices, including the introductory practice of mindful breathing which involves paying nonjudmental attention to one’s cognitive, emotional, and physical experiences and continously shifting attention back to breathing sensations (Kabat-Zinn, 2003). Early mindfulness training experiences are likely to be challenging for individuals with mood, anxiety, and pain conditions given vulnerabilities for experiencing, and getting caught up with, symptoms (e.g., worry, rumination, and pain-related distress) amidst practice. Qualitative research on mindfulness interventions has revealed participants with depression and anxiety commonly experience initial struggles in learning mindfulness practices and gradually learn to become self-aware of their mind-wandering content during practice (Finucane & Mercer, 2006; Hjeltnes, Binder, Moltu, & Dundas, 2015). There are a few mind-wandering scales for assessing mind-wandering experiences on a trait level, including the Mind-Wandering Questionnaire (Mrazek, Phillips, Franklin, Broadway, & Schooler, 2013) and the Imaginal Processes Inventory (Giambra, 1980). However, it is noteworthy that there are no known clinically-focused mind-wandering assessment scales within the context of mindfulness-based interventions. There remains potential in assessing participant’s mind-wandering experiences during mindfulness practices to attain a key progress marker for improving the design and evaluation of mindfulness interventions. The purpose of the present study is to develop and psychometrically validate a Mind-Wandering Inventory for clinical assessment and treatment evaluation purposes.

description: The operator monotone functions defined in the positive half-line are of particular importance. We give a version of the theory in which integral representations for these functions can be established directly without invoking Löwner's detailed analysis of matrix monotone functions of a fixed order or the theory of analytic functions. We found a canonical relationship between positive and arbitrary operator monotone functions defined in the positive half-line, and this result effectively reduces the theory to the case of positive functions. MSC2010 classification: 26A48; 26A51; 47A63. Key words and phrases: operator monotone function; integral representation; Löwner's theorem.

description: Photons with complex spatial mode structures open up possibilities for new fundamental high-dimensional quantum experiments and for novel quantum information tasks. Here we show for the first time entanglement of photons with complex vortex and singularity patterns called Ince-Gauss modes. In these modes, the position and number of singularities vary depending on the mode parameters. We verify 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional entanglement of Ince-Gauss modes. By measuring one photon and thereby defining its singularity pattern, we non-locally steer the singularity structure of its entangled partner, while the initial singularity structure of the photons is undefined. In addition we measure an Ince-Gauss specific quantum-correlation function with possible use in future quantum communication protocols.

description: A search for microscopic black holes in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV is presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 inverse femtobarns recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2011. Events with large total transverse energy have been analyzed for the presence of multiple energetic jets, leptons, and photons, which are typical signals of evaporating semiclassical and quantum black holes, and string balls. Agreement with the expected standard model backgrounds, which are dominated by QCD multijet production, has been observed for various combined multiplicities of jets and other reconstructed objects in the final state. Model-independent limits are set on new physics processes producing high-multiplicity, energetic final states. In addition, new model-specific indicative limits are set excluding semiclassical and quantum black holes with masses below 3.8 to 5.3 TeV and string balls with masses below 4.6 to 4.8 TeV. The analysis has a substantially increased sensitivity compared to previous searches.

description: Background: Depression is the psychological disorder most prevalent that affects in higher proportion to women, being the most vulnerable stages of pregnancy and puerperium; however, the variation of its intensity according to the progress of the pregnancy has not been evaluated. Objective: To evaluate the depressive score, according to the PHQ-9 instrument, in the trimesters of pregnancy. Material and methods: Study of quantitative, observational cross-sectional approach. A total of 92 pregnant women attended at the Villa María del Triunfo Maternal and Child Center in Lima were evaluated, including using a simple random probabilistic sampling. The psychometric evaluation of depression was carried out with the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). The pregnancy trimester was recorded according to the gestational week reported in the perinatal card at the time of the study. The analysis was performed using the STATA software, the significant variation of the score according to the quarter was evaluated by the Kruskal-Wallis H test due to the non-normal distribution in one of the categories, considering a confidence level of 95%. Results: The study counted with the participation of 92 pregnant women, of whom the majority (58.7%) were in the third trimester of their pregnancy. The depression score had a wide median of 5 (RIQ: 7) points. The score during the first quarter was 9 (RIQ: 10), during the second quarter of 4 (RIQ: 8) and finally of 5 (RIQ: 4) points. The analysis showed that the score obtained differed significantly (p = 0.039) between the trimesters of pregnancy. Conclusions: Depression presented a higher score during the first trimester, which decreases significantly during the rest of the pregnancy.

description: Stability analysis of MMICs becomes a preoccupation of engineers for the design of power amplifiers as well as of oscillators. In this paper it is shown that the classical approach of linear stability analysis fails in the case of unstable unloaded circuits. Nyquist based methods are proposed to circumvent this problem. A method relying on the general Harmonic Balance formulation is proposed, which enables the linear and non linear stability analysis. Examples of global stability analysis based on the resolution of the bifurcation equations are given. Finally an open loop method is proposed which allows to design analog frequency dividers with the aid of standard CAD packages.

description: We study the single spin asymmetry in the lepton angular distribution of Drell-Yan processes in the frame work of collinear factorization. The asymmetry has been studied in the past and different results have been obtained. In our study we take an approach different than that used in the existing study. We explicitly calculate the transverse-spin dependent part of the differential cross-section with suitable parton states. Because the spin is transverse, one has to take multi-parton states for the purpose. Our result agrees with one of the existing results. A possible reason for the disagreement with others is discussed.

description: Dieses Buch beschreibt, wie HeilerInnen in verschiedenen sozialen Arenen ihre Identitäten, Praktiken, Ziele und Werte verhandeln – wie und wo sie ihre Moderne entwerfen und leben. Maßgeblich hierbei sind Prozesse von Professionalisierung, Standardisierung und Legalisierung. Es wird argumentiert, dass ein moderner Staat, der auf Rechtsstaatlichkeit und dem Prinzip der Gleichrechtlichkeit basiert, nicht anders kann, als traditionelle Medizin einem Gesetz zu unterwerfen, wobei einige ihrer Aspekte standardisiert werden. Vor dem Gesetz sind jetzt Biomedizin und traditionelle Medizin formal gleichgestellt. Der Mechanismus der Verrechtlichung ist der einzig mögliche, um Gleichheit vor dem Gesetz zu gewährleisten. Nur in der standardisierten Form eines Gesetzes kann traditionelle Medizin, vorher illegal und ausgeschlossen aus dem Wirkungsbereich des (Apartheid-)Staats, lesbar gemacht und „erkannt“ werden, um dann in die Arena des neuen demokratischen Staates überführt werden zu können.
description: This book explores how so-called traditional healers in South Africanegotiate their identities, practices, tenets and values in various social arenas – where and in which ways they live and imagine their modernity. It shows how the three rationalising trajectories constituting their modernisation – professionalisation, standardisation and legalisation – impacted their practice and ultimately defined their experience of being modern. It is argued thata modern state which is guided by the rule of law and the principle of equality before the law has no alternative but to subject the profession of healing to juridification and thereby standardise some of its aspects according to bureaucratic logic.Only in the standardised form of law can traditional healing, which was formerly illegal and excluded from the realm of the (Apartheid) state, be made legible and “known” for its final transference into the arena of the new democratic state.

description: The global stability of a broadband MMIC frequency divider in the millimetric range has been analyzed by determining its bifurcation loci on a two-parameter plane. Some important characteristic to be satisfied by broadband designs are provided by these loci. The circuit bias range for operation as harmonic injection divider is also obtained by means of a very simple new approach. The new algorithm allows an easy selection of any bifurcation parameter and it is short time consuming. An excellent agreement has been obtained between simulation and experimental results.

description: We study contributions of a scalar diquark particle in a color representation of anti-triplet and sextet to the top quark pair production at the Tevatron and the Large hadron collider (LHC). The model can give Forward-Backward (FB) asymmetry at the Tevatron while can avoid the same sign top quark production at the LHC by assuming the top-number conserving diquark couplings. We study compatibility between the large positive FB asymmetry observed at the Tevatron and non-observation of the charge asymmetry at the LHC, by including contributions from the single and pair production of diquarks. We find that the whole parameter space of the models can soon be explored at the LHC by measuring the total t-tbar production cross section and the inclusive charge asymmetry with smaller uncertainties. In addition, we compare the statistical significance of the charge asymmetry measured at the LHC with that of the optimal observable of the subprocess FB asymmetry, and find that they are comparable even when we ignore the uncertainty in the parton distribution functions.

description: Einflussstrategien gehören zu den Kernelementen des Managements von Wertschöpfungsketten. Trotz dessen gibt es nur wenige wissenschaftliche Arbeiten über die Nutzung dieser Strategien im Hinblick auf Wertschöpfungsketten im russischen Agribusiness. Das wirft die wichtige Frage auf, wie zwischen den verschiedenen Effekten von Einflussstrategien unterschieden und wie mit diesen umgegangen werden kann, um sie effektiv für das Management von Wertschöpfungsketten einsetzen zu können. Gibt es Kriterien, welche bestimmen, unter welchen Umständen die Einflussstrategien eine desaströse oder konstruktive Wirkung haben? Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es deshalb, Einflussstrategien innerhalb von Wertschöpfungsketten und -netzwerken und die Rolle, die sie für das Management derselbigen spielen, am Beispiel des russischen Agribusiness zu untersuchen, und daraus eine Strategie abzuleiten, die es den Managern von Wertschöpfungsketten ermöglichen würde, eine effektive Mischung von Managementmechanismen für das ganze Wertschöpfungskettennetzwerk gezielt zu selektieren.
description: The use of influence strategies represents one of the major elements of supply chain management (SCM). However, only a few scientific works have studied the use of, and the actual influence strategies themselves, in the context of agri-food supply chain networks in Russia. The question of how to distinguish among and deal with different effects of influence strategies in order to use them as an effective tool for SCM, appears to be an important one. Are there any criteria which determine under which circumstances the influence strategies might have a destructive impact, or be positive and constructive and can be used for good purposes? Therefore, the aim of the thesis is to investigate the influence strategies in supply chains and networks and their role for SCM on the example of Russian agri-food business, in order to work out an overall strategy which would enable supply chain managers to purposefully select an effective mix of managerial mechanisms for the whole supply chain network.

description: We present structural studies of V$_{1-x}$Cr$_x$O$_2$ (pure, 0.7% and 2.5% Cr doped) compounds at room temperature in a diamond anvil cell for pressures up to 20 GPa using synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction. All the samples studied show a persistence of the monoclinic $M_1$ symmetry between 4 and 12 GPa. Above 12 GPa, the monoclinic $M_1$ symmetry changes to isostructural $M_x$ phase (space group $P2_1/c$) with a significant anisotropy in lattice compression of the $b$-$c$ plane of the $M_{1}$ phase. This behavior can be reconciled invoking the pressure induced charge-delocalization.

description: To each finitely presented module M over a commutative ring R one can associate an R-ideal Fit_R(M) which is called the (zeroth) Fitting ideal of M over R and which is always contained in the R-annihilator of M. In an earlier article, the second author generalised this notion by replacing R with a (not necessarily commutative) o-order Lambda in a finite dimensional separable algebra, where o is an integrally closed complete commutative noetherian local domain. To obtain annihilators, one has to multiply the Fitting invariant of a (left) Lambda-module M by a certain ideal H(Lambda) of the centre of Lambda. In contrast to the commutative case, this ideal can be properly contained in the centre of Lambda. In the present article, we determine explicit lower bounds for H(Lambda) in many cases. Furthermore, we define a class of `nice' orders Lambda over which Fitting invariants have several useful properties such as good behaviour with respect to direct sums of modules, computability in a certain sense, and H(Lambda) being the best possible.

Expression is suggested for a peak of the critical current density and corresponding depression on field dependence of the depth of surface layer with equilibrium magnetization. These functions determine the width and the asymmetry of a magnetization loop. Asymmetry of the secondary peak height on magnetization branches for increasing and decreasing field is reproduced on the computed magnetization curves.

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird das therapeutische Potential von IL-10 und TGF-β mit Hilfe eines DNA-Vektors untersucht. Des Weiteren werden Mäuse mit einer heterozygoten Deletion im TGF-β1-Gen im Asthma-Modell getestet (TGF-β1+/--Mäuse). Ein weiteres Projekt diese Arbeit zielt auf die Entwicklung eines neuen methodischen Ansatzes zur einfacheren und schnelleren Auswertung von Gewebeproben.
description: Allergic asthma is a Th2-type dominated disease characterized by airway hyperreactivity (AHR) and eosinophilic inflammation. Although the asthma prevalence has increased strikingly, long-lasting effective therapies are missing. In this study, we tested the therapeutic potential of nasal DNA vaccination using a vector expressing murine Interleukin (IL)-10 or TGF-β1. Thereby, we combined the well-known Th1 favouring effects of unmethylated CpG motifs in the vector backbone and the anti-inflammatory activity of IL-10 or TGF-β1 respectively. Furthermore we examine mice with a deletion of TGF-β1 (TGF-β1+/--mice). At least we develop a new approach for geading mucus or inflammation in tissue sections by morphometric image analysis.

description: Wir untersuchten die Fluoreszenz Eigenschaften sowie das Vorhandensein einer nichtphotochemischen Löschung (qN) der Chlorophyll a Fluoreszenz des Protisten Euglena gracilis. Schwerpunkt der Betrachtungen lag auf der Wirkung unterschiedlicher Lichtbedingungen hinsichtlich des Vorhandenseins photoprotektiver Mechanismen. Die Bedeutung der Carotinoide für photoprotektive Prozesse wurde mit Hilfe carotinoid-verarmter Zellen untersucht. In Abhängigkeit von den Belichtungsbedingungen konnten wir drei unterschiedliche Prozesse charakterisieren. Belichtung mit hohen Lichtintensitäten führt zu Photoinhibierung. Daneben konnten durch die Wirkung verschiedener Substanzen sowie der Analyse der Relaxationskinetik von qN ein Energie-abhängiger Prozeß (qE) und ein Spill over Mechanismus beschrieben werden. Bei carotinoidverarmten Zelle ist qE dominant. Dieser Prozeß ist unabhängig von einem Xanthophyll-Zyklus sowie einer Aggregation von LHC II und ist im Gegensatz zu Höheren Pflanzen nicht in den Antennen lokalisiert. Die Existenz des Spill over Mechanismus ist vom Carotinoidgehalt der Zellen abhängig.
description: We investigated the fluorescence properties and the generation of nonphotochemical quenching at different intensities of illumination in the protist Euglena gracilis. Furthermore the influence of the carotenoid content on nonphotochemical quenching (qN) was tested. Depending on the light intensities used it is was possible to resolve the non-photochemical quenching into least three different components. The slowest phase of qN occurred only after exposure to high light and was assigned to photoinhibition. The two other components were identified by their different relaxation kinetics and sensitivity to inhibitors. In addition to an energy-dependent quenching (qE), whose dominated by carotenoid deficient cells of Euglena gracilis, another qN was observed which we attributed to a spill over mechanism. This processes was lost in carotenoid deficient cells. In contrast to higher plants, qE in Euglena gracilis is independent of a xanthophyll cycle and an aggregation of LHC II. Probably it is not localised in the antennae system.
Dissecting the mechanism of ETV6 polymerization
Creators: name: Huang-Hobbs, Helen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: ETV6 (or TEL), a member of the ETS family of eukaryotic transcription factors, normally functions as a transcriptional repressor and putative tumor suppressor. ETV6 is modular, containing a SAM (or PNT) domain and a DNA-binding ETS domain joined by a flexible linker sequence. The ETV6 SAM domain self-associates in a head-to-tail fashion, forming helical polymers proposed to generate extended repressive complexes at target DNA sites. ETV6 is also frequently involved in chromosomal translocations yielding unregulated chimeric oncoproteins with the SAM domain fused to the catalytic domain of a tyrosine receptor kinase such as NTRK3. Cellular transformation likely results from SAM domain-mediated polymerization and constitutive activation of the kinase domain. In the case of the ETV6- NTRK3 fusion (EN), this transformation is linked to congenital fibrosarcomas. Our goal is to investigate via mutations within its SAM domain, the thermodynamic and dynamic mechanisms underlying the altered transformation properties of ETV6-NTRK3. These studies have been carried out using monomeric variants of the isolated SAM domains with "head" or "tail" point mutations that prevent self-association, yet allow for formation of a mixed dimer with a native binding interface. Specifically, we used a combination of NMR spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry to study the effects of additional mutations on their dimerization. Consistent with its involvement in a crystallographically-observed interdomain salt bridge, mutation of Lys99 was found to weaken the association of ETV-SAM monomers in solution, and to disrupt cellular transformation by EN. This supports the role of the SAM domain self-association in the activation of ETV6-NTRK3, and helps define the mechanisms underlying cellular transformation by similar chimeric oncoproteins.

In rea­sonably short computing times the simulator yields the dispersion of the transmission-line modes, various types of characteristic impedance matrices and reveals the oc-currance of higher mode propagation. Some examples demonstrate the flexibility and the efficiency of the sim­ulator.

description: We discuss direct and inverse spectral theory of self-adjoint Sturm-Liouville relations with separated boundary conditions in the left-definite setting. In particular, we develop singular Weyl-Titchmarsh theory for these relations. Consequently, we apply de Branges' subspace ordering theorem to obtain inverse uniqueness results for the associated spectral measure. The results can be applied to solve the inverse spectral problem associated with the Camassa-Holm equation.

U(1) symmetry and elimination of spin-0 gravitons in Horava-Lifshitz gravity without the projectability condition

description: In this paper, we show that the spin-0 gravitons appearing in Horava-Lifshitz gravity without the projectability condition can be eliminated by extending the gauge symmetries of the foliation-preserving diffeomorphisms to include a local U(1) symmetry. As a result, the problems of stability, ghost, strong coupling, and different speeds in the gravitational sector are automatically resolved. In addition, with the detailed balance condition softly breaking, the number of independent coupling constants can be significantly reduced (from more than 70 down to 15), while the theory is still UV complete and possesses a healthy IR limit, whereby the prediction powers of the theory are considerably improved. The strong coupling problem in the matter sector can be cured by introducing an energy scale $M_{*}$, so that $M_{*} < Λ_ω$, where $M_{*}$ denotes the suppression energy of high order derivative terms, and $Λ_ω$ the would-be strong coupling energy scale.

description: The paper presents CAD-oriented closed-form expres­sions for the high-frequency resistance matrix of gen­eral multiconductor coplanar lines for analog or digital GaAs IC's, Together with the quasi-TEM character­ization presented in [1] the present results enable the evaluation of the modal impedances and attenuations of the multiconductor line. The approach is based on an exact conformal mapping technique, and allows for for coupled lines and multiconductor buses of arbitrary ge­ometry, i.e. having arbitrary strip widths and spacings. Results are presented to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the approach.

Silicon photonic waveguide Bragg gratings
Creators: name: Wang, Xu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Silicon is the most ubiquitous material in the electronics industry, and is now expected to revolutionize photonics. In just over ten years, silicon photonics has become a key technology for photonic integrated circuits. By taking advantage of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers and the existing complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) fabrication infrastructure, silicon photonic chips are now being delivered with low cost and rapidly increasing functionality. This thesis presents the integration of a fundamental optical device - Bragg grating - into SOI waveguides. Various types of waveguides and grating structures have been investigated. All designs are fabricated using CMOS foundry services. We have also explored various applications using the fabricated devices. From the beginning, we focused on strip waveguide uniform gratings, as these are the most simple to design and fabricate. We have studied many design variations, supported by experimental results. In parallel, we have provided insight into practical issues and challenges involved with the design, fabrication, and measurement, such as the lithography effects, thermal sensitivity, and wafer-scale nonuniformity. We then introduce phase-shifted gratings that can achieve very high quality factors and be employed in various applications. We have also demonstrated sampled gratings and the Vernier effect in strip waveguides. To obtain narrow-band gratings, we propose the use of a rib waveguide. We also propose a multi-period grating concept by taking advantage of the multiple sidewalls of the rib waveguide, to increases the design flexibility for custom optical filters. The wafer-scale data shows that rib waveguide gratings have better performance uniformity than strip waveguide gratings, and that the wafer thick- ness variation is critical. Additionally, we have demonstrated very compact Bragg gratings using a spiral rib waveguide. Finally, we demonstrate slot waveguide Bragg gratings and resonators, which has great potential for sensing, modulation, and nonlinear optics. We have also developed a novel biosensor using a slot waveguide phase-shifted grating that has a high sensitivity, a high quality factor, a low limit of detection, and can interrogate specific biomolecular interactions.
Computability limits non-local correlations

description: If the no-signalling principle was the only limit to the strength of non-local correlations, we would expect that any form of no-signalling correlation can indeed be realized. That is, there exists a state and measurements that remote parties can implement to obtain any such correlation. Here, we show that in any theory in which some functions cannot be computed, there must be further limits to non-local correlations than the no-signalling principle alone. We proceed to argue that even in a theory such as quantum mechanics in which non-local correlations are already weaker, the question of computability imposes such limits.

description: China’s war losses during World War I were primarily composed of 1) public and private losses amounting to approximately 21.5 million yuan, caused by the Japanese army during its passage across Shandong in the assault on Qingdao (Japan refused to pay reparations); and 2) losses caused by Germany due to the hostilities, such as the slaughter of Chinese laborers at sea, loss of funds and materials for the Longhai Railway, and the losses of foreign-based Chinese nationals and Chinese factories. After the negotiations between China and Germany, Germany was willing to offer reparations: China received approximately 116 million yuan in total. Overall, China’s financial gains from its participation in World War I were greater than its war losses.

description: We consider the problem of threshold estimation for autoregressive time series with a "space switching" in the situation, when the regression is nonlinear and the innovations have a smooth, possibly non Gaussian, probability density. Assuming that the unknown threshold parameter is sampled from a continuous positive density, we find the asymptotic distribution of the Bayes estimator. As usually in the singular estimation problems, the sequence of Bayes estimators is found to be asymptotically efficient, attaining the minimax risk lower bound.

description: Parasitic elements involuntarily introduced during the layout design play an important role in integrated circuits operating at very high frequency. Very often, in fact, the electrical performances of microwave networks strongly depend on the dimensions of parasitic elements, such as interconnection lines and net discontinuities. In this paper a new "constraint generation" CAD tool is presented. This program enables a quantitative analysis of the influence of parasitic dimensions on the final circuit performances and the singling out of most critical interconnections.

description: Consider a regression model with fixed design and Gaussian noise where the regression function can potentially be well approximated by a function that admits a sparse representation in a given dictionary. This paper resorts to exponential weights to exploit this underlying sparsity by implementing the principle of sparsity pattern aggregation. This model selection take on sparse estimation allows us to derive sparsity oracle inequalities in several popular frameworks, including ordinary sparsity, fused sparsity and group sparsity. One striking aspect of these theoretical results is that they hold under no condition in the dictionary. Moreover, we describe an efficient implementation of the sparsity pattern aggregation principle that compares favorably to state-of-the-art procedures on some basic numerical examples.

description: The average transverse momentum dependence on multiplicity shows in many experiments at center of mass  energies ranging from 22 to 7000 GeV a slope change at a charged particle rapidity density constant within systematic uncertainties. We find correlated signals which together with the slope change may indicate a transition to a new mechanism of particles production.
