description: Graphite oxide is an amorphous insulator. Although several models have been suggested, its structure remains controversial. To elucidate this issue, 5 samples were prepared by the Brodie process and the Staudenmaier process. The electronic structure of graphite oxide was examined with x-ray absorption near edge structure and the ratio of $sp^{2}$ to $sp^{3}$ bonded carbon atoms was investigated with x-ray photoemission spectroscopy as a function of sample preparation times. It was found that this ratio approaches 0.3 exponentially with a characteristic time of 1.5 weeks. We believe this long characteristic time is the reason the structure has remained unclear.

description: Objective: To investigate the impact of a novel heterozygous FUS mutation in the acceptor splice site of intron 14 (c.1542 − 1 g > t) on protein expression in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC) from a familial ALS patient. Methods: PBMC were isolated for mRNA analysis (cDNA synthesis, sequencing and one-step RT-PCR), Western Immunoblot (WI), and Immunofluorescence (IF). Results: cDNA analysis revealed the skipping of exon 15 and a premature stop codon at c.228. RT-PCR showed reduced FUS mRNA by more than half compared to a healthy control (HC) and an ALS patient without genetic mutations (wtALS). In WI FUS band intensity in the proband was 30–50% compared to HC and wtALS. An antibody expected to detect only the wild-type protein did not reveal any reduction of FUS band intensity compared to the other antibodies. IF showed no difference among HC, wtALS, and the proband. Discussion: The reduction of FUS mRNA and protein in PBMC suggests the absence of the truncated protein, probably due to nonsense-mediated decay, leading to loss of function.
Equilibrium equation of state of a hard sphere binary mixture at very large densities using replica exchange Monte-Carlo simulations

description: We use replica exchange Monte-Carlo simulations to measure the equilibrium equation of state of the disordered fluid state for a binary hard sphere mixture up to very large densities where standard Monte-Carlo simulations do not easily reach thermal equilibrium. For the moderate system sizes we use (up to N=100), we find no sign of a pressure discontinuity near the location of dynamic glass singularities extrapolated using either algebraic or simple exponential divergences, suggesting they do not correspond to genuine thermodynamic glass transitions. Several scenarios are proposed for the fate of the fluid state in the thermodynamic limit.

description: We undertake a quantitative comparison of multi-fragmentation reactions, as modeled by two different approaches: the Antisymmetrized Molecular Dynamics (AMD) and the momentum-dependent stochastic mean-field (SMF) model. Fragment observables and pre-equilibrium (nucleon and light cluster) emission are analyzed, in connection to the underlying compression-expansion dynamics in each model. Considering reactions between neutron-rich systems, observables related to the isotopic properties of emitted particles and fragments are also discussed, as a function of the parametrization employed for the isovector part of the nuclear interaction. We find that the reaction path, particularly the mechanism of fragmentation, is different in the two models and reflects on some properties of the reaction products, including their isospin content. This should be taken into account in the study of the density dependence of the symmetry energy from such collisions.

Evaluation of the role of cold and osmotic stress in multi-species biofilms
Creators: name: Latchman, Someshwar Ravnit
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Biofilms are microorganism aggregates embedded in extracellular polysaccharide that form a complex three-dimensional structure. Biofilm formation occurs in multiple food processing systems, and in some cases microorganisms within biofilms enter into a state of dormancy called the viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state where they are still metabolically active but are not detectable using standard culturing techniques. As such, biofilms are a major concern for public food safety and have been implicated in multiple outbreaks. While biofilms found in nature are multi-species communities, most biofilm research is based on the interactions of biofilms consisting of a single species. This project aimed to evaluate multi-species biofilm formation of Salmonella enterica, Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) and Pseudomonas spp. in combination and individually. The multi-species biofilms were evaluated both in vitro, and through microscopy. In vitro samples were mixed in equal proportions, depending on single-, dual-, or tri-species biofilm treatment, and evaluated via serial plating on species-specific media. In vitro experiments also consisted of using osmotic (5% NaCl medium), and osmotic plus cold (NaCl + 4°C) stressors to determine species growth in single- and multi-species biofilms and the potential induction of the VBNC state. Pixel analysis on confocal microscopy images of the single- and multi-species biofilms was evaluated through the ImageJ software program. Multi-species biofilms formed by STEC, S. enterica, and Pseudomonas spp. displayed three different interactions: competitive, synergistic, and additive. When exposed to external stressors there was a decrease in the number of cells for all three species with the addition of each stressor. However, Pseudomonas spp. were able to grow better in a cold stress environment and outcompete the other two species. Furthermore, Pseudomonas spp. were involved in all of the competitive and synergistic multi-species biofilm interactions, and were part of multi-species biofilms that exhibited tolerance to stressors. Potential VBNC was induced in some cases and the pixel analysis showed results that were consistent with plate counts under non-stress conditions. Understanding the complex interactions of microbes in biofilms by mimicking natural conditions will prevent potential failures in hygiene and consequently increase food safety.

description: Objective: To evaluate how Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patients’ mortality rates change, based on different levels of forced vital capacity (FVC) and disease duration, providing a scheme of mortality rates of a real population of ALS patients to improve the design of future RCTs. Methods: One random spirometry for each ALS patient was selected during four time intervals from disease onset: (1) ≤12 months; (2) ≤18 months; (3) ≤24 months; (4) ≤36 months. Date of spirometry corresponded to date of trial entry, while time interval onset-spirometry to disease duration at enrollment. Mortality rates from inclusion were computed at different time intervals. Based on progression rates, patients were stratified in slow, intermediate and fast progressors. Survival from recruitment was calculated depending on FVC, disease duration and progression rate. Results: We included 659 patients in group 1, 888 in group 2, 1019 in group 3 and 1102 in group 4. Mortality rates were higher in each group at reducing the FVC cutoff used for recruitment (p p Conclusions: This is a simple model for setting eligibility criteria, based on mortality rates of patients depending on FVC and disease duration, to select the best population for RCTs, tailored to trials’ primary endpoints and duration.

description: Objective. Up to 50% of patients affected by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) show behavioral changes within the spectrum of frontotemporal degeneration (FTD). Behavioral dysfunctions in ALS patients negatively impact on management, prognosis and survival. It is, thus, crucial to develop ALS-specific psychometric tools for early detecting alterations in behavior. This study aimed at investigating psychometric properties and feasibility of the Beaumont Behavioral Impairment (BBI), a proxy-report questionnaire designed to screen for FTD-like behavioral symptoms in ALS patients. Methods. Ninety ALS patients were compared to 100 healthy participants (HPs) on the BBI. ALS patients underwent clinical, cognitive, mood/anxiety and further behavioral (Frontal System Behavior Scale, FrSBe; Frontal Behavioral Inventory, FBI) evaluation. Validity, reliability, sensitivity and specificity of the BBI were assessed. Results. The BBI was significantly related to FrSBe and FBI scores, whereas not to other measures. A Principal Component Analysis yielded a mono-component structure; Cronbach’s α was .93. The BBI proved to be sensitive to changes in behavior as well as to discriminate between different degrees of dysfunction. By addressing the FrSBe as the gold standard, the BBI reached optimal sensitivity (85.7%) and specificity (79.7%) at a cutoff of 10.5. Moreover, the BBI proved to be more accurate than the FrSBe and the FBI in clinical classifications. Conclusion. The BBI showed high internal consistency, as well as good construct, convergent and divergent validity. Its clinical usability is encouraged in ALS patients as being able to sensitively and specifically detect FTD-like behavioral changes.
"Calm's not my style" : attending to multiple enactments of mindfulness in a primary classroom
Creators: name: Semenec, Paulina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The problem of in/attention among school children has been the focus of many educational interventions over the past several years, including mindfulness education. Growing in popularity in schools, a central aim of these interventions has been to cultivate attention in children and young people in order to make room for learning. Informed by a year-long inquiry in a primary school classroom, this dissertation attends to the multiple, shifting, unexpected and divergent ways in which “mindfulness” is enacted by children in school spaces in ways that often overspill the spacetime boundaries of the classroom. This dissertation troubles how discourses embedded in curriculum and everyday classroom practices position children as coherent, knowable, and agentic subjects who are responsible for their own mis/behaviour, and offers alternative, more speculative responses to the “problem” of in/attention among children. The chapters bring together various forms of fieldwork data, multiple (and often divergent) strands of theories and approaches, and speculative writings. They move away from a focus on formal lesson plans and classroom interventions, and instead work to “intervene” in the assumptions and practices regarding what is deemed important to pay attention to within the contours of school life. The chapters also introduce more than human agencies that trouble notions of child-centrism, rationality and self-regulation. Mindfulness becomes reconfigured in a way that includes attention to not only the autonomous, agentic child, but also the flows of affect, the vibrancy of materials and spaces, as well as atmospheres that make different enactments of in/attention possible and visible in school spaces.

description: Objective: To assess patients Quality of life (QoL) and the burden of their caregivers during Covid-19 pandemic and specifically the impact of two-month lockdown period. Methods: In April 2020, a total of 60 patients and 59 caregivers were administered by phone scales assessing patients’ QoL (McGill QoL Questionnaire), general health status (EQ-5D-5L), and caregiver burden (Zarit Burden Interview). The administration was repeated one month after the end of lockdown measures, with the addition of a qualitative questionnaire (COVID-QoL Questionnaire) exploring family reorganization and personal perception of lock down. Results: QoL and perceived health status did not worsen during lockdown, while caregiver burden increased (p = 0.01). Patient’s QoL and caregiver burden were inversely correlated at T1 (ZBI total score mildly correlated with Mc Gill existential subscore, p = 0.02, rho = 0.30 and with Mc Gill total score, p = 0.05, rho = 0.265). No significant correlations were found at T2. According to the COVID-QoL questionnaire, caregivers perceived lower family help compared to patients (p Conclusions: Restricted measures of lockdown period during COVID-19 pandemic did not result in a significant reduction of QoL in our cohort of ALS patients, while caregiver burden significantly increased. ALS motor impairment may have played a role in the unchanged life conditions of patients. Instead, the restriction of family help for primary caregivers could be responsible of their increased burden, reflecting the importance of a wide social support in the management of this clinical condition.

description: C9orf72 mutation (C9+) is a common genetic cause of frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. C9+ clinical phenotype is heterogeneous and epilepsy has been recently described in few cases. We report a 47-year-old patient who developed reflex reading epilepsy (RRE) at the age of 19. After the first years with exclusive reflex seizures, afterwards the patients developed drug-resistant, unprovoked seizures and progressive cognitive deterioration. In the last years, a progressive motor impairment with spastic tetraparesis also occurred. During the hospitalization, the patient underwent an extensive workup identifying C9+ expansion and a family history suggestive for an autosomal dominant inheritance. This report, together with the few cases already described, raises the possibility that epileptic manifestations are part of the clinical phenotype of C9ORF72 mutation and reflect hyperexcitability of cortical networks involved in neurodegeneration.

The dependence of the current, excitation energy and angular momentum of the junction on the applied voltage is studied. Negative differential conductance is observed in the current-voltage characteristics. It is shown that a model with vibrationally dependent coupling to the electrodes, asymmetric with respect to the interchanging of electrodes, leads to a strong correlation between the applied voltage and the angular momentum of the junction. The model thus works as a molecular motor, with the angular momentum controlled by the size and sign of the voltage.

description: Forced vital capacity (FVC) is an essential respiratory measurement for assessment and monitoring of patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Our clinic rapidly implemented remote assessment of FVC after COVID-19 related restrictions on respiratory testing were imposed, using mini-spirometers and video consultation. We sought to evaluate the patient's experiences of performing remote respiratory assessments to guide future development and optimisation of the service. Twenty-five patients completed surveys. The mean age was 65.2 years and average time from diagnosis was 17.04 (2–99) months. Seventy-two percent (n = 18) required help from a caregiver to perform the tests. Ninety-two percent (n = 23) of patients reported that overall, they were satisfied and were happy to continue with remote respiratory assessment. Reducing the number of clinic visits for review and assessment was valued by 92% (n = 23) and reducing the risk associated with COVID-19 was valued by 96% (n = 24). The highest frequency reported as acceptable for performing the remote breathing assessments was monthly (60%, n = 15), followed by every second month (28%, n = 7). Remote respiratory testing is viewed positively by patients. These technologies used in combination with video-consultations and other novel forms of remote monitoring implemented in response to the COVID-19 crisis will continue to be valuable tools for clinical care in future. However, further evaluation of the validity of remote respiratory assessment is required.
Sts'ailes-Coast Salish ethnohistory and settlement archaeology
Creators: name: Ritchie, Patrick Morgan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: This Dissertation weaves together interrelated ethnohistoric and archaeological evidence to provide an empirical basis for examining and interpreting the relationship between Coast Salish history and society at a range of spatial and temporal scales. Together, the evidence reveals long term interconnectivity between people in the Salish Sea, so that social transformations which reverberated across the region are observable in the flexible social strategies and organizing principles that both defined and reinforced distinctive place-based social identities over millennia. The first study is a biographical and network analysis to establish the basis for the social and political influence and authority of emergent Indigenous leaders that reshaped the social geography of the Salish Sea region during the socially tumultuous mid-nineteenth century. The second study is an in-depth analysis of a Sts’ailes-Coast Salish lineage, spanning more than ten generations, from around AD 1750 – 1890. Information for this study was obtained from previously untranslated field notebooks of Franz Boas, which contain detailed genealogical data that reveal insights into intergenerational histories and marriage alliances that underpin Sts’ailes identity and territoriality. The third study is a meta-analysis of geographically wide-spread and cross-cultural oral narratives that relate to the releases of salmon into the rivers of the Pacific Northwest through the destruction of weir-dams. Key themes in these narratives provide insights into Indigenous concepts of ownership, sustainability, and social relationships both within and between communities. The fourth study tracks 3,000 years of unbroken occupation on the middle Harrison River, documenting trends in settlement and demographic growth. The analysis moves between social, spatial, and temporal scales to examine how households, local groups, and settlement clusters were woven together in a highly interconnected and integrated settlement constellation. The fifth study focuses on changes within the Sts’ailes settlement of Hiqelem from 1,500 to 1,000 years ago to examine how households link micro and macro scales of social interactions, and both reflect and initiate broader social transformations. The sixth study is an examination of household specialization, focusing on the social relations of lithic acquisition, production, exchange, and consumption of large bifaces. Linking each of these studies is an examination of contemporary implications.

description: Objective: SPG4 is an autosomal dominant pure form of hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) caused by mutations in the SPAST gene. HSP is considered an upper motor neuron disorder characterized by progressive retrograde degeneration, or “dying-back” phenomenon, of the corticospinal tract’s longest axons. Neuroimaging studies mainly focus on white matter changes and, although previous studies reported cortical thinning in complicated HSP forms, cortical changes remain unclear in SPG4 patients. This work aimed to compare changes in white matter microstructure and cortical thickness between 12 SPG4 patients and 22 healthy age-matched controls. We also explore whether white matter alterations are related to cortical thickness and their correlation with clinical symptoms. Methods: we used fixel-based analysis, an advanced diffusion-weighted imaging technique, and probabilistic tractography of the corticospinal tracts. We also analyzed cortical morphometry using whole-brain surface-based and atlas-based methods in sensorimotor areas. Results: SPG4 patients showed bilateral involvement in the corticospinal tracts; this was more intense in the distal portion than in the upper segments and was associated with the degree of clinical impairment. We found a significant correlation between disease severity and fiber density and cross-section of the corticospinal tracts. Furthermore, corticospinal tract changes were significantly correlated with bilateral cortical thinning in the precentral gyrus in SPG4 patients. Conclusions: Our data point to axonal damage of the corticospinal motor neurons in SPG4 patients might be related to cortical thinning in motor regions.

description: We show that suprathermal particles, termed pick-up ions (PUIs), might reduce the postshock temperature of the fast wind and jets in some planetary nebulae (PNs) and in symbiotic systems. The goal is to explain the finding that the temperature of the hot bubble formed by the post-shock gas in some PNs and symbiotic nebulae is lower, sometimes by more than an order of magnitude, than the value expected from simple hydrodynamical calculations. Although various explanations have been proposed, there is as yet no prefered solution for this low tempeature problem. PUIs have been invoked to explain the low temperature behind the termination shock of the solar wind. While in the case of the solar wind the neutral atoms that turn into PUIs penetrate the pre-shock solar wind region from the interstellar medium (ISM), in PNs the PUI source is more likely slowly moving clumps embedded in the fast wind or jets. These clumps are formed by instabilities or from backflowing cold gas. Our estimates indicate that in young PNs these PUIs will thermalize before leaving the system. Only in older PNs whose sizes exceed ~5000 AU and for which the fast-wind mass loss rate is below ~10^{-7} Mo/yr do we expect the PUIs to be an efficient carrier of energy out of the postshock region (the hot bubble).

description: We propose a new method to calculate polarization induced interfacial charges in semiconductor heterostructures using classical electrostatics applied to real-space band diagrams from first principles calculations and apply it to GaN/AlN heterostructures with ultrathin AlN layers (4-6 monolayers). We show that the calculated electric fields and interfacial charges are independent of the exchange-correlation functionals used (local-density approximation and hybrid functionals). We also find the calculated interfacial charge of (6.8 +/- 0.4) x 10^13 cm-2 to be in excellent agreement with experiments and the value of 6.58 x 10^13 cm-2 calculated from bulk polarization constants, validating the use of bulk constants even for very thin films.

description: We report on the spectral evolution of 6 classical novae, V1186 Sco, V2540 Oph, V4745 Sgr, V5113 Sgr, V458 Vul, and V378 Ser, based on the low-resolution spectra obtained at the Fujii-Bisei Observatory and the Bisei Astronomical Observatory, Japan. In the light curves, these 6 novae show several rebrightenings during the early phase lasting ~10 days after the first maximum in fast novae, and ~100 days in slow novae. The early spectra of all of these novae had emission lines with a P-Cygni profile at the maximum brightness. The absorption component of the P-Cygni profiles then disappeared after the maximum, and reappeared when the novae brightened to the next maximum. We suggest that the re-appearance of the absorption component at the rebrightening is attributable to re-expansion of the photosphere after it once shifts sufficiently inside. From the light curves, we found that the time intervals of the rebrightenings of these 6 novae show a similar systematic trend, which is applicable to all types of novae: fast and slow, and Fe II type and hybrid type. Moreover, we note the difference between the spectra at the rebrightenings during the early phase and at the rebrightening in V2362 Cyg, and at the oscillation during the transition phase in V1494 Aql, which means difference of the physical mechanism of the rebrightening during the early phase and the later oscillations.

description: Objective: To assess patients Quality of life (QoL) and the burden of their caregivers during Covid-19 pandemic and specifically the impact of two-month lockdown period. Methods: In April 2020, a total of 60 patients and 59 caregivers were administered by phone scales assessing patients’ QoL (McGill QoL Questionnaire), general health status (EQ-5D-5L), and caregiver burden (Zarit Burden Interview). The administration was repeated one month after the end of lockdown measures, with the addition of a qualitative questionnaire (COVID-QoL Questionnaire) exploring family reorganization and personal perception of lock down. Results: QoL and perceived health status did not worsen during lockdown, while caregiver burden increased (p = 0.01). Patient’s QoL and caregiver burden were inversely correlated at T1 (ZBI total score mildly correlated with Mc Gill existential subscore, p = 0.02, rho = 0.30 and with Mc Gill total score, p = 0.05, rho = 0.265). No significant correlations were found at T2. According to the COVID-QoL questionnaire, caregivers perceived lower family help compared to patients (p Conclusions: Restricted measures of lockdown period during COVID-19 pandemic did not result in a significant reduction of QoL in our cohort of ALS patients, while caregiver burden significantly increased. ALS motor impairment may have played a role in the unchanged life conditions of patients. Instead, the restriction of family help for primary caregivers could be responsible of their increased burden, reflecting the importance of a wide social support in the management of this clinical condition.

description: We investigate future constraints on early dark energy (EDE) achievable by the Planck and CMBPol experiments, including cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing. For the dark energy, we include the possibility of clustering through a sound speed c_s^2 <1 (cold dark energy) and anisotropic stresses parameterized with a viscosity parameter c_vis^2. We discuss the degeneracies between cosmological parameters and EDE parameters. In particular we show that the presence of anisotropic stresses in EDE models can substantially undermine the determination of the EDE sound speed parameter c_s^2. The constraints on EDE primordial energy density are however unaffected. We also calculate the future CMB constraints on neutrino masses and find that they are weakened by a factor of 2 when allowing for the presence of EDE, and highly biased if it is incorrectly ignored.
