description: Let X be a Hyperkähler variety deformation equivalent to the Hilbert square on a K3 surface and let f be an involution preserving the symplectic form. We prove that the fixed locus of f consists of 28 isolated points and 1 K3 surface, moreover the anti-invariant lattice of the induced involution on H^2(X,Z) is isomorphic to E_8(-2). Finally we prove that any couple consisting of one such variety and a symplectic involution on it can be deformed into a couple consisting of the Hilbert square of a K3 surface and the involution induced by a Nikulin involution on the K3 surface.

Tumor Suppressor Protein p53

description: RNA-binding motif protein 10 (RBM10) is an RNA-binding protein frequently deleted or mutated in lung cancer cells. Recent reports showed that the knockdown of RBM10 in human cancer cells enhances the growth of mouse tumor xenografts, suggesting that RBM10 acts as a tumor suppressor. RBM10 also regulates alternative splicing and controls cancer cell proliferation. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms for its tumor suppression role remain largely unclear. Here, we for the first time report that RBM10 can induce apoptosis and inhibit cancer cell proliferation by activating p53. Our analysis of cancer genomic databases showed that patients with wild-type RBM10 and p53 survive longer than do those with mutated p53 or less RBM10. RBM10 overexpression markedly inhibited mitochondrial respiration, cell migration and proliferation of various cancer cells that harbor wild-type p53. Also, RBM10 overexpression elongated p53’s half-life by disrupting MDM2-p53 interaction and subsequently repressing p53 ubiquitination, whereas knockdown of RBM10 decreased p53 stability. Altogether, our results demonstrate that RBM10 inhibits cancer cell proliferation and induces apoptosis in part by blocking the MDM2-p53 feedback loop.

description: Background: Previous research has shown that miscommunication during transitions in care between emergency medical services (EMS) and emergency departments can result in serious medical errors leading to adverse patient health outcomes and even death. Studies show that interactive mobile technology can assist the patient transfer process. Research indicates that various technologies are available, yet uptake by health systems throughout Canada and the world is limited. A conceptual framework for improving the technology adoption of EMS to emergency department (ED) transitions in care (TiC) software will be used to guide the project. Objectives: The aim of this scoping review is to create an expansive collection of useful mobile software application features, motivations for use, and barriers that interfere with EMS communication technology adoption to assist research and design and improve the technology’s adoption over time. Eligibility Criteria: Only information on smartphone software applications will be eligible for inclusion in this project, although all study designs and types of literature will be included. Included apps, articles, or documents must be published after 2008 and in the English language or feasibly translated (e.g., using Google Translate). Sources of Evidence: Seven academic and seven preprint databases will be searched for published and unpublished artifacts providing access to the latest information. Due to the emerging nature of this topic, exploring Google Play Apps, Apple's App Store, and Google will help ensure that the most current information is represented. Utilizing backward and forward author, reference, and app searching will be crucial for identifying evolutions of the technology and developmental trajectories to their present state. Charting Methods: Data charting will include characteristics of the source, along with any relevant results and findings that pertain to the research questions, which will be coded into emerging categories (i.e., themes), creating an accessible and simplified resource supported by a narrative synthesis.

In Italy, the ceremony for the entombment of the Unknown Soldier took place in Rome on 4 November 1921 at the ''Vittoriano'' monument. This commemorative practice was meant to create a unifying national site of mourning, which later on, however, became a stage for Fascist political rituals.

Flight Dynamics of Artificial Samara
Creators: name: Carroll, Brent Ross
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Natural autorotating bodies such as the winged seeds (samaras) of many maple varieties demonstrate substantial lift at low Reynolds numbers using a single fibrous wing attached to a seed body. These samaras slow their descent via autorotation with aerodynamic lift provided by a leading-edge vortex (LEV). A miniature biomimetic glider inspired by the maple samara was developed to study the flight dynamics of autorotating bodies and test design criteria needed for safe drop from stratospheric altitudes. Unlike aerial platforms that descend via parachute, an artificial samara made of a single wing attached to a payload "seed" may survive extreme weather conditions likely experiecned during a stratospheric descent while ensuring a low impact speed at ground level. The wing and glider frame demonstrated here are 3D-printed plastic objects capable of housing a small electronic payload and flight computer. These samaras are 23 centimeters in length and approximately 60 grams with various wingtip configurations. The leading edge and wing are designed for lift via the LEV effect rather than an airfoil. Mimicking the fibrous wing of the natural samara, these gliders are fabricated by first depositing two 0.35 mm layers of plastic, and then successive layers build up the 8 mm thick leading edge in one solid part. The "seed" portion of the artificial samaras contain a 9-axis inertial measurement unit and microcontroller capable of tracking orientation during flight. The flight characteristics of these artificial samaras is demonstrated and compared to expected behavior of the natural analogue. From short drop tests, these data show the transition into steady-state autorotation via the establishment of a LEV and illustrate the influence of the asymmetric wingtip in natural autorotation. The typical steady-state descent speeds are 1-2 m/s with rotation rates of 8-9 Hz in still air. Future development will focus on designing a custom flight recorder with high dynamic range gyroscope and fabricating resilient glider bodies with polycarbonate-containing polymer blends. This glider platform provides both a novel means to study samara dispersal via scale model and for long-range dispersal of sensor payloads in extreme atmospheric conditions.

description: In South Africa the period between 1914 and 1918 was one of intense political and industrial turmoil. It entailed two violent strikes, eventually suppressed by the South African government, a rebellion against the state by Afrikaner insurgents and the political realignment of white labour, as well as the first efforts to organise African labour. The ideological schism over the war and other issues which appeared in the white labour movement in 1915 was indeed the parting of the ways between left and right and would change the South African political landscape irreversibly.

Tumor Suppressor Protein p53

description: Gain-of-function (GOF), the most malicious oncogenic activity of a cancer-promoting protein, is well illustrated to three hotspot p53 mutations at R248, R175, and R273 with distinct molecular mechanisms. Yet, less is known about another hotspot p53 mutant, R249S (p53-R249S). p53-R249S is the sole hotspot mutation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that is highly associated with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and dietary exposure to aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). Its GOF is suggested by the facts that this mutant is associated with earlier onset of HCC and poorer prognosis of cancer patients and that its overexpression drives HCC proliferation and tumorigenesis. By contrast, simply knocking in this mutant in normal mice did not show apparent GOF activity. Hence, the GOF activity for p53-R249S and its underlying mechanisms have been elusive until recent findings offered some new insights. This review will discuss these findings as well as their clinical significance and implications for the development of a strategy to target multiple molecules as a therapy for p53-R249S-harboring HCC.

description: Micro-particle self assembly under the influence of optical forces produced by higher order optical beams or by projection of a hologram into the trapping volume is well known. In this paper, we report the spontaneous formation of a ring of identical microspheres (each with diameter 1.1 $μ$m) in conventional single beam optical tweezers with a usual TEM$_{00}$ Gaussian beam coupled into a sample chamber having standing wave geometry with a cover slip and glass slide. The effects of different experimental parameters on the ring formation are studied extensively. The experimental observations are backed by theoretical simulations based on a plane wave decomposition of the forward and backward propagating Gaussian beams. The ring patterns are shown to be caused due to geomterical aberrations produced by focusing the Gaussian beam using a high numerical aperture microscope objective into stratified media. It is found that the thickness of the stratified media and the standing wave geometry itself play a critical role in formation of stable ring structures. These structures could be used in the study of optical binding, as well as biological interactions between cells in an optical trap.

Population Size and Incumbency in Canadian Municipal Elections: Two Essays

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Education--Social Sciences
subject: Political Science
subject: FOS: Political science

description: In this thesis, I measure the relationship between the electoral success of municipal incumbents and municipal population size in Canada. I first ask how municipal incumbent success rates vary by municipal population size, and discover that acclamations drive overall population-size based trends of municipal incumbent success in Canada. Using an original dataset and a novel modeling approach that accounts for acclaimed incumbents, I find that municipal incumbent success rates generally fall as municipal population size increases. Furthermore, this relationship is particularly strong in Quebec. After excluding acclamations from the analysis, incumbent success rates increase as population size increases. Thus, voters in large municipalities favour incumbents when compared to their counterparts in smaller municipalities. To further investigate this trend, I then ask how the strength of an incumbency cue changes depending on population size, and find that incumbency cues have a stronger effect in larger municipalities. Taken together, these findings reveal that size-related patterns municipal incumbency in Canada are likely dependent on how voters from different sized municipalities process political information and view incumbent candidates.

description: British and Irish domestic propaganda evolved patchily throughout the war. It underwent several stages of development, was delivered by many official and unofficial bodies, including critics, and featured multiple methods and topics. It did not depend entirely upon atrocity stories, recruitment and poster campaigns. Effective propaganda demonstrated successful cooperation between central and local organisers, and collaboration with press and publishers. While themes and topics ranged widely, propaganda revolved around ideas of the individual’s place within a community and the need for sacrifice. While relatively successful in Britain, it was effectively challenged by counter-propaganda and the force of events in Ireland.

description: Jet substructure is typically studied using clustering algorithms, such as kT, which arrange the jets' constituents into trees. Instead of considering a single tree per jet, we propose that multiple trees should be considered, weighted by an appropriate metric. Then each jet in each event produces a distribution for an observable, rather than a single value. Advantages of this approach include: 1) observables have significantly increased statistical stability; and, 2) new observables, such as the variance of the distribution, provide new handles for signal and background discrimination. For example, we find that employing a set of trees substantially reduces the observed fluctuations in the pruned mass distribution, enhancing the likelihood of new particle discovery for a given integrated luminosity. Furthermore, the resulting pruned mass distributions for (background) QCD jets are found to be substantially wider than that for (signal) jets with intrinsic mass scales, e.g. jets containing a W decay. A cut on this width yields a substantial enhancement in significance relative to a cut on the standard pruned jet mass alone. In particular the luminosity needed for a given significance requirement decreases by a factor of two relative to standard pruning.

The creation of an avian vaccine for West Nile virus
Creators: name: Young, Joanne Alison
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: West Nile Virus (WNV) arrived in North America in 1999 and has since caused significant morbidity and mortality, mainly in birds but also in horses and humans. Many families of birds, especially corvids, are highly susceptible to WNV, with infections often resulting in fatalities. Avian species susceptible to WNV infection also include endangered species, such as the Greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus uropbasianuts) and the Eastern Loggerhead Shrike (Lanius ludovicianus migrans). Although WNV is now endemic throughout the continent, to date there is no veterinary vaccine available for birds. This thesis focuses on the use of a recombinant adenovirus to construct vaccines against WNV, that would contain either the envelope or the NS3 ‘genes’ from WNV. To assist in assessing the vaccines, work was undertaken to assess to what extent avian antibody reagents could be used in an avian species for which the antibody was not created. The duck specific CD8 antibody, Du-CD8-1 and the chicken/turkey specific CD4 antibody, CT4, bound to Japanese Quail T cells. The CD4 and CD8 antibody reagents were used to analyse Japanese quail T cell populations, establishing the proportions of CD4+ and CD8+ cells, and discovering a previously unreported population of CD4/CD8 double positive cells. An anti bird IgG antibody was found to bind to chicken, House Sparrow and Japanese Quail IgY; the anti-bird IgG antibody was able to detect IgY from these three species when used as part of a serum ELISA assay. Results from initial vaccine testing in Japanese Quail (Coturnix japonica), indicated that the vaccines activated more T cells and triggered production of higher levels of antibodies in vaccinated birds compared to unvaccinated controls. This was achieved using an intracellular interferon gamma (IFN-γ) assay to assess T cell activation and a serum ELISA to measure levels of WNV specific antibodies. During a challenge assay, using a wild population of House sparrows (Passer domesticus) following infection with WNV, vaccinated birds showed overall reduced levels of viremia compared to unvaccinated controls.

description: In 1947-1948, Premier of Alberta, Ernest Manning, expelled the rabidly anti-Semitic sect of his caucus and Government known as the Douglasites. In this purge, Manning would end up expelling numerous members of his caucus, Party (the Alberta Social Credit League), and Government, paving the way for a drastic shift in espoused socio-political rhetoric and ideology from the Party away from the anti-Semitic. Although Social Credit’s anti-Semitic roots run deep, it is the case that Premier Manning was the primary catalysing actor that set the de-facto natural law of the Party from his ascension to the premiership. When Manning said that he “condemned, repudiated, and completely dissociated” himself from the group, whether his intentions were actually grounded in his moral framework – as is hinted towards by the author – or were instead a measure of his political acumen, may perhaps only have been known by the premier himself. But, what is strongly evidence is the fact that Manning played a primary role in this dramatic shift. Without Ernest Manning, this movement ideologically was not necessarily a given, and rather, what the historical record implies is that Manning in many ways served as the primary catalyst and driving factor in this shift. My thesis considers this course of events, their socio-political implications, and grounds itself theoretically in an application of Orbell and Fougere’s intra-party conflict resolution model for understanding the dominant party ideological moderation/decay.

By going through abelian covers of curves of small genus we find a number of new curves. In particular, we settle the question of how many points a curve over GF(2) of genus 17 can have, by finding one with 18 points. The search is aided by computer; in some cases it is exhaustive for this type of curve of genus up to 50.

Material Science for Quantum Computing with Atom Chips

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In its most general form, the atom chip is a device in which neutral or charged particles are positioned in an isolating environment such as vacuum (or even a carbon solid state lattice) near the chip surface. The chip may then be used to interact in a highly controlled manner with the quantum state. I outline the importance of material science to quantum computing (QC) with atom chips, where the latter may be utilized for many, if not all, suggested implementations of QC. Material science is important both for enhancing the control coupling to the quantum system for preparation and manipulation as well as measurement, and for suppressing the uncontrolled coupling giving rise to low fidelity through static and dynamic effects such as potential corrugations and noise. As a case study, atom chips for neutral ground state atoms are analyzed and it is shown that nanofabricated wires will allow for more than $10^4$ gate operations when considering spin-flips and decoherence. The effects of fabrication imperfections and the Casimir-Polder force are also analyzed. In addition, alternative approaches to current-carrying wires are briefly described. Finally, an outlook of what materials and geometries may be required is presented, as well as an outline of directions for further study.

description: The First World War was a period of repression and severe privation in Austria-Hungary. The organized labor movement was heavily constrained and its leaders resorted to a strategy of compliance with the imperial regime through much of the conflict, hoping to protect significant pre-war gains. But some of the ethnic-national factions within the multinational labor movement in both halves of the Dual Monarchy began to reorient their policies toward national independence. Faced with worsening food shortages, ordinary workers sought more radical solutions to their often desperate situations. Strikes and other forms of working-class protest convulsed the Empire in the final two years of the conflict.

description: Recent work has suggested that the stellar initial mass function (IMF) is not universal, but rather is correlated with galaxy stellar mass, stellar velocity dispersion, or morphological type. In this paper, we investigate variations of the IMF within individual galaxies. For this purpose, we use strong lensing and gas kinematics to measure independently the normalisation of the IMF of the bulge and disk components of a sample of 5 massive spiral galaxies with substantial bulge components taken from the SWELLS survey. We find that the stellar mass of the bulges are tightly constrained by the lensing and kinematic data. A comparison with masses based on stellar population synthesis models fitted to optical and near infrared photometry favors a Salpeter-like normalisation of the IMF. Conversely, the disk masses are less well constrained due to degeneracies with the dark matter halo, but are consistent with Milky Way type IMFs in agreement with previous studies. The disks are submaximal at 2.2 disk scale lengths, but due to the contribution of the bulges, the galaxies are baryon dominated at 2.2 disk scale lengths. Globally, our inferred IMF normalisation is consistent with that found for early-type galaxies of comparable stellar mass (> 10^11 M_sun). Our results suggest a non-universal IMF within the different components of spiral galaxies, adding to the well-known differences in stellar populations between disks and bulges.

Sedimentology, Stratigraphy, and Reservoir Characterization of the Late Devonian Duvernay Formation of the East Shale Basin: An integrated outcrop and subsurface study

description: Despite being a relatively well-understood world-class hydrocarbons source rock, mudstones of the Duvernay Formation have regained recent research interest because of their vast potential as an unconventional resource play. The Late Devonian (Frasnian) Duvernay Fm. is among the few reservoirs in the world recording basinal organic-rich mudstones contemporaneous to adjacent reef buildups. Detailed sedimentological and stratigraphic analysis of well cores and outcrops were conducted in this study to characterize the intrinsic small- and large-scale heterogeneity caused by lateral and vertical facies changes. Using outcrops of the Perdrix Fm. (equivalent Duvernay strata) and subsurface well cores, this thesis focuses on investigating the role of carbonate reef margins on facies heterogeneity and expression on reservoir properties important for fluid storage and production. Based on interpretations of hydrodynamic, biogenic, and diagenetic processes, the sedimentary facies analysis suggest that reefs not only supplied abundant carbonate detritus, but also might have controlled the extent of the bottom-water anoxia, the sediment transport pathways, and diagenetic reactions within basinal deposits. Further, facies associations and stacking patterns suggest a sedimentary system controlled by allogenic forces, such as fluctuations of the relative sea-level. The sedimentary facies and stratigraphic analysis were combined with petrophysical properties to understand the nature and vertical distribution of mudstone microfabrics across reservoir areas of the East Shale Basin. The variety of identified mudstone microfabrics and associated pore networks provides the basis for predicting reservoir qualities according to interpretations of sedimentary processes, not only in the Duvernay Fm. but also for analogue mudstone reservoirs where organic-rich mudstones accumulated under the influence of an adjacent reef buildup.

Developing performance based design guidelines for the railcar cover system
Creators: name: Man, Christopher Zhun Ting
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The railcar cover solution is aimed at providing an aerodynamic solution for the transport of coal. The system includes the use of a handling system that is currently under development by a third party. This study seeks to aid in the implementation of a performance based design approach to the railcar cover system. The performance based design approach is a method that utilizes modern analysis tools to provide designs that are more robust than typical prescriptive design procedures (such as the pure use of limit states in codes). A general procedure in establishing performance guidelines is provided in this study, as well as a procedure on conducting a performance based design. Also described in this study is a comparison of design configurations proposed for the cover system. Through the use of CFdesign fluid dynamics analysis software, various engineering demand parameters are measured for each railcar cover configuration including railcar flow rates and cover pressure distributions. This data are presented purely as a comparison, due to the high variability and lack of confidence inspired by validation studies. Validation studies were also presented to compare the various parameters and analysis options available with the CFdesign software, which may be used to further understand the correct implementation methods of CFdesign software for practical use.

description: The First World War was a major negative shock for the Australian economy. Australia did little to mobilise economically for war and struggled with loss both of export markets and access to key imports. Only British government purchases of Australian commodities prevented a major economic collapse, but they also contributed to long-term distortions in the Australian economy. The decision to pay for the war primarily by borrowing led to a crushing debt burden in the post-war years.

Large Mixing Angles From Many Right-Handed Neutrinos

description: A beautiful understanding of the smallness of the neutrino masses may be obtained via the seesaw mechanism, whereby one takes advantage of the key qualitative distinction between the neutrinos and the other fermions: right-handed neutrinos are gauge singlets, and may therefore have large Majorana masses. The standard seesaw mechanism, however, does not address the apparent lack of hierarchy in the neutrino masses compared to the quarks and charged leptons, nor the large leptonic mixing angles compared to the small angles of the CKM matrix. In this paper, we will show that the singlet nature of the right-handed neutrinos may be taken advantage of in one further way in order to solve these remaining problems: Unlike particles with gauge interactions, whose numbers are constrained by anomaly cancellation, the number of gauge singlet particles is essentially undetermined. If large numbers of gauge singlet fermions are present at high energies - as is suggested, for example, by various string constructions - then the effective low energy neutrino mass matrix may be determined as a sum over many distinct Yukawa couplings, with the largest ones being the most important. This can reduce hierarchy, and lead to large mixing angles. Assuming a statistical distribution of fundamental parameters, we will show that this scenario leads to a good fit to low energy phenomenology, with only a few qualitative assumptions guided by the known quark and lepton masses. The scenario leads to predictions of a normal hierarchy for the neutrino masses, and a value for the |m_ee| mass matrix element of about 1-6 meV.

description: Magnus Hirschfeld was one of the most important sexual scientists and reformers in the German Empire and the Weimar Republic. He acquired international fame by founding the Scientific-Humanitarian Committee (''Wissenschaftlich-humanitäres Komitee'') in 1897. This was the first organisation worldwide to publicly speak out for the tolerance of homosexuals in society. Hirschfeld's most influential theory is the two-tier theory (''Zwischenstufentheorie''), according to which man and woman are merely opposite poles on a scale of almost infinite intermediate levels of sexuality. In 1918, Hirschfeld founded the Berlin “Institute for Sexual Sciences”, regarded as the symbol of sexual liberalism of the Weimar era.

description: Background: Despite immunotherapies having revolutionized the treatment of advanced cutaneous melanoma, effective and durable responses were only reported in a few patients. A better understanding of the interaction of melanoma cells with the microenvironment, including extracellular matrix (ECM) components, might provide novel therapeutic options. Although the ECM has been linked to several hallmarks of cancer, little information is available regarding the expression and function of the ECM protein purine-arginine-rich and leucine-rich protein (PRELP) in cancer, including melanoma. Methods: The structural integrity, expression and function of PRELP, its correlation with the expression of immune modulatory molecules, immune cell infiltration and clinical parameters were determined using standard methods and/or bioinformatics. Results: Bioinformatics analysis revealed a heterogeneous, but statistically significant reduced PRELP expression in available datasets of skin cutaneous melanoma when compared to adjacent normal tissues, which was associated with reduced patients’ survival, low expression levels of components of the MHC class I antigen processing machinery (APM) and interferon (IFN)-γ signal transduction pathway, but increased expression of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β isoform 1 (TFGB1) and TGF-β receptor 1 (TGFBR1). In addition, a high frequency of intra-tumoral T cells directly correlated with the expression of MHC class I and PRELP as well as the T cell attractant CCL5 in melanoma lesions. Marginal to low PRELP expression levels were found in the 47/49 human melanoma cell lines analysis. Transfection of PRELP into melanoma cell lines restored MHC class I surface expression due to transcriptional upregulation of major MHC class I APM and IFN-γ pathway components. In addition, PRELP overexpression is accompanied by high CCL5 secretion levels in cell supernatant, an impaired TGF-β signaling as well as a reduced cell proliferation, migration and invasion of melanoma cells. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that PRELP induces the expression of MHC class I and CCL5 in melanoma, which might be involved in an enhanced T cell recruitment and immunogenicity associated with an improved patients’ outcome. Therefore, PRELP might serve as a marker for predicting disease progression and its recovery could revert the tumorigenic phenotype, which represents a novel therapeutic option for melanoma.
Method for arbitrary phase transformation by a slab based on transformation optics and the principle of equal optical path

description: The optical path lengths travelled by rays across a wavefront essentially determine the resulting phase front irrespective of the shape of a medium according to the principle of equal optical path. Thereupon we propose a method for the transformation between two arbitrary wavefronts by a slab, i.e. the profile of the spatial separation between the two wavefronts is taken to be transformed to a plane surface. Interestingly, for the mutual conversion between planar and curved wavefronts, the method reduce to an inverse transformation method in which it is the reversed shape of the desired wavefront that is converted to a planar one. As an application, three kinds of phase transformation are realized and it is found that the transformation on phase is able to realize some important properties such as phase reversal or compensation, focusing, and expanding or compressing beams, which are further confirmed by numerical simulations. The slab can be applied to realizing compact electromagnetic devices for which the values of the refractive index or the permittivity and permeability can be high or low, positive or negative, or near zero, depending on the choice of coordinate transformations.

Notes on Krugman's Article on Myth of Asian Miracle

Subjects: Economics

description: These notes have been written, in view of repeated questions put to me about the subject matter by economists in Asia and journalists there as well, so as to go with my Cornell paper, "The Miracle That Did Happen: Understanding East Asia in Comparative Perspective." I had argued there that there was indeed a miracle, contrary to what Krugman had argued. I restate and add to some of the arguments there, especially as the recent financial and economic crisis has created the illusion that this shows that Krugman was right in claiming that the "mythical" miracle would in any case drown under "diminishing returns."
