description: Disk drives are among the most frequently replaced hardware components and continue to pose problems when accurately predicting failures. Despite the rapid growth in the popularity of solid-state drives, HDD devices predominate in data storage systems. Now, there is no universal automated solution to determine the health of a hard disk without reducing its performance during the study. The purpose of this work is to develop a method for predicting drive failure, thereby increasing the efficiency of using its resource in data storage systems. This paper analyzes the largest set of statistical data on SMART attributes, collected from about 170,000 HDD devices of different sizes over a period of seven years. The data is publicly available by BACKBLAZE. The proposed method is based on the use of machine learning.

description: We study the addditon problem for strongly matricially free random variables which generalize free random variables. Using operators of Toeplitz type, we derive a linearization formula for the `matricial R-transform' related to the associated convolution. It is a linear combination of Voiculescu's R-transforms in free probability with coefficients given by internal units of the considered array of subalgebras. This allows us to view this formula as the `matricial linearization property' of the R-transform. Since strong matricial freeness unifies the main types of noncommutative independence, the matricial R-transform plays the role of a unified noncommutative analog of the logarithm of the Fourier transform for free, boolean, monotone, orthogonal, s-free and c-free independence.

description: We obtain gravity duals to supersymmetric gauge theories in two and three spacetime dimensions with unquenched flavor. The supergravity solutions are generated by a set of color branes wrapping a compact cycle in a Calabi-Yau threefold, together with another set of flavor branes extended along the directions orthogonal to the cycle wrapped by the color branes. We construct supergravity backgrounds which include the backreaction induced by a smeared set of flavor branes, which act as delocalized dynamical sources of the different supergravity fields.

description: We present new SMA and PdBI observations of the intermediate-mass object IRAS 22198+6336 in the millimeter continuum and in several molecular line transitions. The millimeter continuum emission reveals a strong and compact source with a mass of around 5 Msun and with properties of Class 0 objects. CO emission shows an outflow with a quadrupolar morphology centered on the position of the dust condensation. The CO outflow emission seems to come from two distinct outflows, one of them associated with SiO outflow emission. A large set of molecular lines has been detected toward a compact dense core clearly coincident with the compact millimeter source, and showing a velocity gradient perpendicular to the outflow traced by CO and SiO. The chemically rich spectrum and the rotational temperatures derived from CH$_3$CN and CH$_3$OH (100-150 K) indicate that IRAS 22198+6336 is harbouring one the few intermediate-mass hot cores known at present.

Sediment waves and the gravitational stability of explosive eruption columns and ash clouds : towards a new classification of explosive eruptions
Creators: name: Gilchrist, Johanand
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: It is increasingly recognized that the gravitational stability of volcanic jets is governed by complex ash-pumice-gas (multiphase) interactions and the mechanics of turbulent entrainment in the lower momentum-driven (fountain) and upper buoyancy-driven (plume) regions of these flows. We use analogue experiments on relatively dense particle-freshwater and particle- saltwater jets injected into a linearly-stratified saltwater layer to revisit, characterize and under- stand how transitions among Buoyant Plume (BP), Total Collapse (TC) and Partial Collapse (PC) multiphase jet regimes in a traditional source strength ( Ri0) - particle concentration ( phi0) parameter space are modified by particle inertial effects expressed through a Stokes number (St) and particle buoyancy effects expressed through a Sedimentation number (Sigma0). We show that “coarse particles” (0.1 ≤ St0 ≤ 10) modify significantly published conditions favouring BP and TC, causing the transition between these endmember regimes to occur smoothly over a PC regime that represents the majority of the Ri0 - phi0 parameter for eruptions. Large volume annular sedimentation waves excited periodically in PC and TC regimes produce terrace deposits and lead to “phoenix clouds” spreading at multiple altitudes. Consistent with most eruptions having fluctuating source strengths, we carry out additional experiments on “unsteady” jets. We identify an additional key source Pulsation number Pu0 and develop a new Ri0 - phi0 - Pu0 parameter space for jet regimes. Applied to volcanic jets generally, and to data we recover from Doppler radar monitoring of two erupting volcanoes, we develop a new set of conceptual models for steady jets in the BP, TC and PC regimes and for unsteady jets in newly defined “Connected Thermals” and Discrete Thermal” regimes, all of which make readily-tested links among source parameters, column heights, sedimentation processes, cloud structures and deposit architectures. The predictions for cloud structures and deposit architectures agree with field-based and remote-sensing observations made for well-studied historic and pre-historic eruptions and explain the origin of common but enigmatic near-field features of explosive eruption deposits. The predictive power of our new Ri0 - phi 0 - Pu0 classification for explosive eruptions provides exciting new pathways for future observational and modelling studies.

description: The biocompatible yet potent antimicrobial cationic peptide, KR12 is explored as a medical catheter coating. KR12 is a selective derivative of LL37, a primary peptide by natural killer (NK) cells. KR12 was covalently linked and grafted via biomimetic polydopamine (PD) chemistry onto polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymer to mimic silicone-based intravenous and urinary catheters. These surfaces were tested for antimicrobial effectiveness and biofilm adhesion long term (21 days) usage against pathogenic clinical strains of P. aeruginosa, E. coli and S. saprophyticus and S. epidermidis, all sources of common sources of infections. This study was a precursor, short-term research project that explored the prospects of KR12 and its potential strengths long term solution to infection prevention in healthcare facilities.

description: Hospital noise has remained a low priority problem in India. An area of not less than 100 meters around a hospital is considered a silence zone, with guidelines restricting noise levels at 50dBA during daytime and 40dBA during the night. World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines also stipulate an average of 30dBA and a maximum of 40dbA. Annoyance is a known effect of noise exposure. However, very few studies have attempted to explore the hospital soundscape and the annoyance among staff related to it. Noise data was collected from 30 sites, using a Digital Integrating Sound Level Meter, LutronSL-4035SD (ISO-9001,CE,IEC1010) meeting IEC61672 standards. Stratified random sampling of staff was done on basis of noise exposure. A pre-designed, semi-structured questionnaire collected information on sociodemographic and work profile. Annoyance was defined as a stress reaction to environmental noise and was measured using standardized general purpose noise reaction questionnaire (ISO-TS/15666). Data was analyzed in SPSS. The mean LAeq 24 h across all the sites was 69.5dBA (SD ±5.8dBA) for the weekdays and 66.2dBA (SD ±4.6dBA) for the weekends. Noise levels were higher during the day than during the night, and higher during the weekdays as compared to the weekends. 332(73.8%) study participants were found to be annoyed due to hospital noise. Annoyance among study participants was significantly associated with LAeq 24 h > 80 dBA during the weekdays [aOR = 5.08 (1.17-22.06)] and LAeq 24 h of 65-80 dBA during the weekends [aOR = 2.71 (1.46-5.01)]. Noise levels in the hospital far exceeded WHO and Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) guidelines recommended for indoor hospital noise, as well as the national guidelines for sensitive zones. Almost three-fourth of the study participants were annoyed due to hospital noise. Significant association was found between annoyance among staff and higher noise levels of their workplace. Similar studies need to be conducted in hospitals across India to generate evidence on the current situtation and identify solutions.

description: We have conducted interferometric observations with CARMA and an OTF mapping with the 45-m telescope at NRO in the CO (J=1-0) emission line of NGC 3521. Combining these new data, together with CARMA+NRO45 data for M51a and archival SINGS H$α$, 24$μ$m, THINGS H I and GALEX FUV data for both galaxies, we investigate the empirical scaling law that connects the surface density of SFR and cold gas (the Schmidt-Kennicutt law) on a spatially-resolved basis. We argue that plausibly deriving SFR maps of nearby galaxies requires the diffuse stellar/dust background emission to be carefully subtracted. An approach to complete this task is presented and applied in our pixel-by-pixel analysis on both galaxies, showing that the controversial results whether the molecular S-K law is super-linear or basically linear is a result of removing or preserving the local background. In both galaxies, the power index of the molecular S-K law is 1.5-1.9 at the highest available resolution (230 pc), and decreases monotonically for decreasing resolution; while the scatter (mainly intrinsic) increases as the resolution becomes higher, indicating a trend for which the S-K law breaks down below some scale. Both quantities are systematically larger in M51a than in NGC 3521, but when plotted against the de-projected scale (δ_{dp}), they become highly consistent between the two galaxies, tentatively suggesting that the sub-kpc molecular S-K law in spiral galaxies depends only on the considered scale, without varying amongst spiral galaxies. A logarithmic function γ_{H_2}=-1.1 log[δ_{dp}/kpc]+1.4 and a linear relation σ_{H_2}=-0.2 [δ_{dp}/kpc]+0.7 are obtained through fitting to the M51a data, which describes both galaxies impressively well on sub-kpc scales. A larger sample of galaxies with better quality data are required to test the general applicability of these relations.

description: Genome Properties (GPs) is a resource that predicts functional features such as biochemical pathways and complexes in sequenced genomes. It utilises InterPro to determine the presence or absence of constituent proteins for each property, and as such functions as an InterPro companion resource. Using GPs to compare, for example, bacterial genomes, it is possible to rationalize the function of 1000s of individual genes, down to a few 100 relevant properties, thus streamlining the process of phylogenetic profiling. As a result, GPs lends itself to the large-scale analysis of uncharacterised genomes, such as those generated from metagenomic studies. All data in GPs are freely available in a way that facilitates collaborative curation of GPs, as well as via web interfaces for interrogating the GP data. Comparing GPs coverage of genomes with other pathway resources, such as KEGG and SEED Subsystems, reveals complementarity of coverage, although each resource provides unique coverage. The strength of GPs comes from the scalability of the approach and the ability to annotate lesser-studied species, underlining its utility in broadly annotating diverse and emerging organisms, such as those being identified using metagenomics.

description: Environmental risk factors associated with malignancy of pediatric neuroblastic tumours are not well-known and few studies have examined the relationship between industrial emissions and neuroblastic tumour diagnosis. A retrospective case series of 310 patients was evaluated at a tertiary hospital in Toronto, Canada between January 2008, and December 2018. Data from the National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) were used to estimate exposure for a dozen chemicals with known or suspected carcinogenicity or embryotoxicity. Comparative analysis and predictive logistic regression models for malignant versus benign neuroblastic tumours included variables for residential proximity, number, and type of industries, mean total emissions within 2 km, and inverse distance weighted (IDW) quantity of chemical-specific industrial emissions estimated within 10 and 50 km of cases. No significant difference was seen between malignant and benign cases with respect to the mean nearest residential distance to industry, the number or type of industry, or the mean total quantity of industrial emissions within a 2 km radius of residential location of cases. However, there were statistically significant differences in the interpolated IDW emissions of dioxins and furans released between 1993 and 2019 within 10 km. Concentrations were significantly higher in malignant neuroblastic tumours at 1.65 grams (g) toxic equivalent (TEQ) (SD 2.01 g TEQ) compared to benign neuroblastic tumours at 1.13 g TEQ (SD 0.84 g TEQ) (p = 0.05). Within 50 km 3 years prior to diagnosis, malignant cases were exposed to higher levels of aluminum, benzene, and nitrogen dioxide (p = 0.02, p = 0.04, and p = 0.02 respectively). Regression analysis of the IDW emissions within a 50 km radius revealed higher odds of exposure to benzene for malignant neuroblastic tumours (OR = 1.03, CI: 1.01–1.05, p = 0.01). These preliminary findings suggest a potential role of industrial emissions in the development of malignant pediatric neuroblastic tumours and underscore the need for further research to investigate these associations.

As an application, we construct a Gelfand model for wreath products of the form $A \wr S_n$ with $A$ abelian, and give an alternate proof of a recent result due to Adin, Postnikov, and Roichman describing a particularly elegant Gelfand model for the wreath product $\ZZ_r \wr S_n$. We conclude by discussing some notable properties of this representation and its decomposition into irreducible constituents, proving a conjecture of Adin, Roichman, and Postnikov's.

description: We intrinsically characterize separability of the Dirac equation in Kerr-NUT-(A)dS spacetimes in all dimensions. Namely, we explicitly demonstrate that in such spacetimes there exists a complete set of first-order mutually commuting operators, one of which is the Dirac operator, that allows for common eigenfunctions which can be found in a separated form and correspond precisely to the general solution of the Dirac equation found by Oota and Yasui [arXiv:0711.0078]. Since all the operators in the set can be generated from the principal conformal Killing-Yano tensor, this establishes the (up to now) missing link among the existence of hidden symmetry, presence of a complete set of commuting operators, and separability of the Dirac equation in these spacetimes.

description: We use a sample of 248 tax strategies published by U.K. companies listed on the Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE) 100 and FTSE 250 to examine (a) how companies present themselves—more as “responsible taxpayers” who view taxes as a meaningful contribution to society, or more as “tax planners” who view taxes primarily as a cost, and (b) whether these presentations correspond to actual tax avoidance behavior. Our results show that, on average, firms tend to portray themselves as “responsible taxpayers,” but that this portrayal is consistent with firms’ tax avoidance behavior only when firms are subject to above-average external monitoring by financial analysts. The results suggest that firms manage the content of qualitative tax disclosures to sway public opinion as long as the probability of detecting misstatements is sufficiently low. This raises doubts as to whether mandatory qualitative information provides added value for stakeholders if it is not under external review. JEL Classification: H25; H20; M40; M48.

description: In this article we examine the adjacency and Laplacian matrices and their eigenvalues and energies of the general product (non-complete extended $p$-sum, or NEPS) of signed graphs. We express the adjacency matrix of the product in terms of the Kronecker matrix product and the eigenvalues and energy of the product in terms of those of the factor signed graphs. For the Cartesian product we characterize balance and compute expressions for the Laplacian eigenvalues and Laplacian energy. We give exact results for those signed planar, cylindrical and toroidal grids which are Cartesian products of signed paths and cycles. We also treat the eigenvalues and energy of the line graphs of signed graphs, and the Laplacian eigenvalues and Laplacian energy in the regular case, with application to the line graphs of signed grids that are Cartesian products and to the line graphs of all-positive and all-negative complete graphs.

description: Topological insulators and superconductors in different spatial dimensions and with different discrete symmetries have been fully classified recently, revealing a periodic structure for the pattern of possible types of topological insulators and supercondutors, both in terms of spatial dimensions and in terms of symmetry classes. It was proposed that K-theory is behind the periodicity. On the other hand, D-branes, a solitonic object in string theory, are also known to be classified by K-theory. In this paper, by inspecting low-energy effective field theories realized by two parallel D-branes, we establish a one-to-one correspondence between the K-theory classification of topological insulators/superconductors and D-brane charges. In addition, the string theory realization of topological insulators and superconductors comes naturally with gauge interactions, and the Wess-Zumino term of the D-branes gives rise to a gauge field theory of topological nature, such as ones with the Chern-Simons term or the $θ$-term in various dimensions. This sheds light on topological insulators and superconductors beyond non-interacting systems, and the underlying topological field theory description thereof. In particular, our string theory realization includes the honeycomb lattice Kitaev model in two spatial dimensions, and its higher-dimensional extensions. Increasing the number of D-branes naturally leads to a realization of topological insulators and superconductors in terms of holography (AdS/CFT).

description: We theoretically study the effect of stripe-like superconducting inclusions on the non-linear resistivity in single crystals. Even when the stripe orientation varies throughout the sample between two orthogonal directions due to twinning, we predict that there should be a universal scaling relationship between the nonlinear resistivity curves measured at different angles relative to the crystal axes. This prediction can be used to verify or rule out the existence of superconducting stripes at and above the superconducting transition temperature in cuprate superconductors.

The role of CSF1R in early tooth development
Creators: name: Nagra, Ashina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Objective: Colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) binds its ligand CSF1 and regulates the formation of osteoclasts. Mice nullizgyous for CSF1 (Csf1op/op) or CSF1R (Csf1r-/-) fail to erupt teeth due to defective osteoclast formation. Dental abnormalities have also been observed postnatally in the unerupted teeth of these mouse models. However, it is not understood if these dental abnormalities are caused by direct effects of CSF1R or defects in bone remodeling. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to identify a direct role of CSF1R in early tooth development. Methods: Immunostaining techniques were used to show CSF1R expression during early stages of odontogenesis. CSF1R was inhibited in utero during key odontogenic stages. Teeth from embryos and offspring were collected at different ages and studied for phenotypic abnormalities using histological techniques. Teeth from adult mice were analyzed using high-resolution micro-computed tomography. Results: CSF1R expression was found in ectomesenchymal tissues around normally developing incisors and molars. Osteoclasts had similar localization patterns. Prenatal CSF1R inhibition during odontogenesis led to significant dental abnormalities observed prenatally and postnatally due to altered bone remodeling. Ultimately, continuous tooth growth of mouse incisors postnatally was not impacted. Conclusion: These results indicate that CSF1R regulates tooth morphology during the bell stage, likely by remodeling the bony crypts at the tooth-bone interface.

description: Secondary structure formation of nucleic acids strongly depends on salt concentration and temperature. We develop a theory for RNA folding that correctly accounts for sequence effects, the entropic contributions associated with loop formation, and salt effects. Using an iterative expression for the partition function that neglects pseudoknots, we calculate folding free energies and minimum free energy configurations based on the experimentally derived base pairing free energies. The configurational entropy of loop formation is modeled by the asymptotic expression -c ln m, where m is the length of the loop and c the loop exponent, which is an adjustable constant. Salt effects enter in two ways: first, we derive salt induced modifications of the free energy parameters for describing base pairing and, second, we include the electrostatic free energy for loop formation. Both effects are modeled on the Debye-Hueckel level including counterion condensation. We validate our theory for two different RNA sequences: For tRNA-phe, the resultant heat capacity curves for thermal denaturation at various salt concentrations accurately reproduce experimental results. For the P5ab RNA hairpin, we derive the global phase diagram in the three-dimensional space spanned by temperature, stretching force, and salt concentration and obtain good agreement with the experimentally determined critical unfolding force. We show that for a proper description of RNA melting and stretching, both salt and loop entropy effects are needed.

Microbial fuel cell technology for effective wastewater treatment, heat and power production
Creators: name: Lum, Samuel
Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited

description: Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) technologies stands as a renewable and fully self-sustaining energy source powered directly by bacterial digestion phenomena. Fully understanding MFC performance cannot be answered without more research into the characteristics of these exoelectrogenic bacteria. This research is one of many that continues to build the foundation of this area, and specifically focuses on understanding wastewater treatment and the circumstances on what allows for efficacious microbial respiration. Six substrates: tofu whey, glucuronic acid recovered from blended broccoli, bovine manure, seafood waste and cellulose, were used in this study and were sourced from Rochester Institute of Technology's dining services. COD tests reflect a generally positive correlation between waste degradation and electrical performance. With glucuronic acid and cellulose leading electrical activity, they additionally had a COD reduction by 83% and 91% in about 2 weeks, respectively and therefore the bacteria have biodegraded most of all the organic pollutants in the wastewater. Keeping in mind the temperature, it was found that glucuronic acid, cellulose and 1/10th tofu mixture had the highest cell temperatures above lab temperatures. Cellulose was on average 13°F higher than the lab. Therefore, most cells that were in operation, generated significant heat as a waste-product. This was a short-term, preliminary insight.
Increased entropy of signal transduction in the cancer metastasis phenotype

description: Studies into the statistical properties of biological networks have led to important biological insights, such as the presence of hubs and hierarchical modularity. There is also a growing interest in studying the statistical properties of networks in the context of cancer genomics. However, relatively little is known as to what network features differ between the cancer and normal cell physiologies, or between different cancer cell phenotypes. Based on the observation that frequent genomic alterations underlie a more aggressive cancer phenotype, we asked if such an effect could be detectable as an increase in the randomness of local gene expression patterns. Using a breast cancer gene expression data set and a model network of protein interactions we derive constrained weighted networks defined by a stochastic information flux matrix reflecting expression correlations between interacting proteins. Based on this stochastic matrix we propose and compute an entropy measure that quantifies the degree of randomness in the local pattern of information flux around single genes. By comparing the local entropies in the non-metastatic versus metastatic breast cancer networks, we here show that breast cancers that metastasize are characterised by a small yet significant increase in the degree of randomness of local expression patterns. We validate this result in three additional breast cancer expression data sets and demonstrate that local entropy better characterises the metastatic phenotype than other non-entropy based measures. We show that increases in entropy can be used to identify genes and signalling pathways implicated in breast cancer metastasis. Further exploration of such integrated cancer expression and protein interaction networks will therefore be a fruitful endeavour.

description: We propose a single observable to witness the nonzero quantum discord of an unknown quantum state provided that we have four copies of the state. The expectation value of this observable provides a necessary and sufficient condition for nonzero quantum discord in $2\times N$ systems and a necessary condition in higher finite-dimensional bipartite systems. Furthermore, a nontrivial lower bound of quantum discord can be obtained from this expectation value. The proposed observable can be experimentally measured in exactly the same easy manner as that of the entanglement witness, moreover a quantum circuit is designed to determine the expectation value of our observable with four simultaneous local qubit-measurements.

“DEAR ALISON” The Diffusion of J.A. Coderch’s Work through his Participation in Team Ten
Creators: name: González-Bárcena, Julio Garnica
Publisher: name: Histories of Postwar Architecture

Subjects: Coderch; Team Ten; Las Cocheras

description: In March 1967, the Spanish architect J.A. Coderch (1913-1984) responded to a questionnaire he had received from Team Ten in a letter to the English architect Alison Smithson. It is a short text in which Coderch regrets having little to say about his work in response to the questionnaire, despite having practiced for nearly 30 years, while recognizing having been unable to collaborate with Team Ten as much as he would have liked. Attempting to respond to Smithson, whom he addresses as “My dear editress” in the letter’s greeting, Coderch makes a list of the professional questions of most concern to him at the time: the wide variety of commission types and the resulting inconsistency of one’s built work; teaching in architecture and what stance to take when dealing with young architects; the always problematic relationship between architects, developers and construction companies; and the difficulties of group work, an aspect Coderch found tiresome. And also, especially, “the necessity that we have to proyect great blocks of dwellings”, recognizing that George Candilis “was right when he answered me in Royamont that we had to face the problem and answer yes leaving aside romantic positions that cannot compete with the modern systems of construction”. In the late 1960s, when he wrote the letter to Alison Smithson, he had received the commission for a housing complex in Barcelona: the project known as “Las Cocheras”, which he eventually presented at the 1971 meeting in Toulouse-Le Mirail. The project, around 500 apartments, became the largest residential complex of Coderch’s career, the great big yes to addressing the problem of housing, which his friends from Team 10 had encouraged him to pursue, in a relationship that is no doubt fundamental to understanding the project. “Las Cocheras” inevitably represents the built project with the closest ties to the fundamental questions addressed by the group: humanizing the city, rediscovering the street as public space, the need for collective housing, preserving identity amid the masses, the hierarchy of groupings, etc.

description: Using observations from the Chandra X-ray Observatory and Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope, we examine the interaction between the intracluster medium and central radio source in the poor cluster AWM 4. In the Chandra observation a small cool core or galactic corona is resolved coincident with the radio core. This corona is capable of fuelling the active nucleus, but must be inefficiently heated by jet interactions or conduction, possibly precluding a feedback relationship between the radio source and cluster. A lack of clearly detected X-ray cavities suggests that the radio lobes are only partially filled by relativistic plasma. We estimate a filling factor of phi=0.21 (3 sigma upper limit phi<0.42) for the better constrained east lobe. We consider the particle population in the jets and lobes, and find that the standard equipartition assumptions predict pressures and ages which agree poorly with X-ray estimates. Including an electron population extending to low Lorentz factors either reduces (gamma_min=100) or removes (gamma_min=10) the pressure imbalance between the lobes and their environment. Pressure balance can also be achieved by entrainment of thermal gas, probably in the first few kiloparsecs of the radio jets. We estimate the mechanical power output of the radio galaxy, and find it to be marginally capable of balancing radiative cooling.
