description: The use of the full potential of stellar seismology is made difficult by the improper modeling of the upper-most layers of solar-like stars and their influence on the modeled frequencies. Our knowledge on these \emph{surface effects} has improved thanks to the use of 3D hydrodynamical simulations but the calculation of eigenfrequencies relies on empirical models for the description of the Lagrangian perturbation of turbulent pressure: the reduced-$Γ_1$ model (RGM) and the gas-$Γ_1$ model (GGM). Starting from the fully compressible turbulence equations, we derive both the GGM and RGM models using a closure to model the flux of turbulent kinetic energy. It is found that both models originate from two terms: the source of turbulent pressure due to compression produced by the oscillations and the divergence of the flux of turbulent pressure. It is also demonstrated that they are both compatible with the adiabatic approximation but also imply a number of questionable assumptions mainly regarding mode physics. Among others hypothesis, one has to neglect the Lagrangian perturbation of the dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy into heat and the Lagrangian perturbation of buoyancy work.

Investigation of metabolism of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) by dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DP IV)
Creators: name: Pauly, Robert P.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The incretins glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GTP1-42) and truncated forms of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-I7-36 and GLP-I7.37) are hormones released from the gut in response to ingested nutrients and act on the endocrine pancreas to potentiate glucose-induced insulin secretion. GTP1.42 and GLP-I7.36 are known substrates of the circulating exopeptidase dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DP IV, CD26, EC 3.4.14.5) which selectively hydrolyzes peptides after penultimate N-terminal proline or alanine. Hydrolysis of GJJP1.42 and GLP-I7.36 by DP IV yields the biologically inactive polypeptides GTP3-42 and GLP-I9.36, and the dipeptides Tyr-Ala and His-Ala respectively. It has been speculated that DP IV-catalyzed incretin hydrolysis is the primary step in the metabolism of these hormones. This thesis reports the use of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to study incretin hydrolysis in vitro, including enzyme kinetics, and the establishment of a protocol for the inhibition of DP IV in vivo, allowing study of the influence of endogenous DP IV on the enteroinsular axis. Analysis of MS spectra indicated that human serum-incubated GUP 1-42 and GLP-17.36 were cleaved by DP IV with only minor secondary degradation due to other serum protease activity. Kinetic constants of incretin hydrolysis by purified porcine kidney-derived enzyme and by human serum DP IV activity suggest that DP IV-mediated hydrolysis of these peptides is significant at physiological incretin concentrations. Ile-thiazolidide, one of a new class of competitive reversible transition state analogue inhibitors of DP IV was used to block DP IV activity in vitro and in vivo. Endogenous DP IV inhibition resulted in an earlier rise and peak of plasma insulin and more rapid clearance of blood glucose in response to an intraduodenal glucose challenge. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis revealed that inhibition of DP IV in vivo was able to prevent the hydrolysis of radiolabelled GLP-17.36, indicating that the altered insulin profile is likely an incretin-mediated response. On the basis of the studies described in this thesis it was concluded that DP IV is the principal protease responsible for the degradation of GIP1-42 and GLP-I7.36 and manipulation of endogenous DP IV activity was able to improve glucose tolerance in the rat.

description: The study of deterministic chaos continues to be one of the important problems in the field of nonlinear dynamics. Interest in the study of chaos exists both in low-dimensional dynamical systems and in large ensembles of coupled oscillators. In this paper, we study the emergence of spatio-temporal chaos in chains of locally coupled identical pendulums with constant torque. The study of the scenarios of the emergence (disappearance) and properties of chaos is done as a result of changes in: (i) the individual properties of elements due to the influence of dissipation in this problem, and (ii) the properties of the entire ensemble under consideration, determined by the number of interacting elements and the strength of the connection between them. It is shown that an increase of dissipation in an ensemble with a fixed coupling force and elements number can lead to the appearance of chaos as a result of a cascade of period doubling bifurcations of periodic rotational motions or as a result of invariant tori destruction bifurcation. Chaos and hyperchaos can occur in an ensemble by adding or excluding one or more elements. Moreover, chaos arises hard, since in this case the control parameter is discrete. The influence of the coupling strength on the occurrence of chaos is specific. The appearance of chaos occurs with small and intermediate coupling and is caused by the overlap of the various out-of-phase rotational modes regions existence. The boundaries of these areas are determined analytically and confirmed in a numerical experiment. Chaotic regimes in the chain do not exist if the coupling strength is strong enough.

Estimating Column Density in Molecular Clouds with FIR and Sub-mm Emission Maps

description: We have used a numerical simulation of a turbulent cloud to synthesize maps of the thermal emission from dust at a variety of far-IR and sub-mm wavelengths. The average column density and external radiation field in the simulation is well matched to clouds such as Perseus and Ophiuchus. We use pairs of single-wavelength emission maps to derive the dust color temperature and column density, and we compare the derived column densities with the true column density. We demonstrate that longer wavelength emission maps yield less biased estimates of column density than maps made towards the peak of the dust emission spectrum. We compare the scatter in the derived column density with the observed scatter in Perseus and Ophiuchus. We find that while in Perseus all of the observed scatter in the emission-derived versus the extinction-derived column density can be attributed to the flawed assumption of isothermal dust along each line of sight, in Ophiuchus there is additional scatter above what can be explained by the isothermal assumption. Our results imply that variations in dust emission properties within a molecular cloud are not necessarily a major source of uncertainty in column density measurements.

description: Top-quark pair production is central to many facets of LHC physics. At leading order, the top and anti-top are produced in a back-to-back topology, however this topology accounts only for a minority of $t \bar t$ events with TeV-scale momentum transfer. The remaining events instead involve the splitting of an initial or final-state gluon to $t \bar t$. We provide simple quantitative arguments that explain why this is the case and examine the interplay between different topologies and a range of variables that characterise the event hardness. We then develop a method to classify the topologies of individual events and use it to illustrate our findings in the context of simulated events, using both top partons and suitably defined fiducial tops. For events with large $t \bar t$ invariant mass, we comment on additional features that have important experimental and theoretical implications.

description: Radio timing observations of a millisecond pulsar in orbit around the Galactic centre black hole (BH) or a BH at the centre of globular clusters could answer foundational questions in astrophysics and fundamental physics. Pulsar radio astronomy typically employs the post-Keplerian approximation to determine the system parameters. However, in the strong gravitational field around the central BH, higher order relativistic effects may become important. We compare the pulsar timing delays given by the post-Keplerian approximation with those given by a relativistic timing model. We find significant discrepancies between the solutions derived for the Einstein delay and the propagation delay (i.e. Roemer and Sharpiro delay) compared to the fully relativistic solutions. Correcting for these higher order relativistic effects is essential in order to construct accurate radio timing models for pulsar systems at the Galactic centre and the centre of globular clusters and informing issues related to their detection.

description: Charge density waves (CDWs) are periodic modulations of the conduction electron density in solids. They are collective states that arise from intrinsic instabilities often present in low dimensional electronic systems. The layered dichalcogenides are the most well-studied examples, with TiSe_2 one of the first CDW-bearing materials known. The competition between CDW and superconducting collective electronic states at low temperatures has long been held and explored, and yet no chemical system has been previously reported where finely controlled chemical tuning allows this competition to be studied in detail. Here we report how, upon controlled intercalation of TiSe_2 with Cu to yield Cu_xTiSe_2, the CDW transition is continuously suppressed, and a new superconducting state emerges near x = 0.04, with a maximum T_c of 4.15 K found at x = 0.08. Cu_xTiSe_2 thus provides the first opportunity to study the CDW to Superconductivity transition in detail through an easily-controllable chemical parameter, and will provide new insights into the behavior of correlated electron systems.

description: Chirality and chiral molecules are key elements in modern chemical and biochemical industries. Individual addressing, and the eventual separation of chiral enantiomers has been and still is an important elusive task in molecular physics and chemistry, and a variety of methods has been introduced over the years to achieve this goal. Here, we theoretically demonstrate that a pair of cross-polarized THz pulses interacting with chiral molecules through their permanent dipole moments induces an enantioselective orientation of these molecules. This orientation persists for a long time, exceeding the duration of the THz pulses by several orders of magnitude, and its dependency on temperature and pulses' parameters is investigated. The persistent orientation may enhance the deflection of the molecules in inhomogeneous electromagnetic fields, potentially leading to viable separation techniques.

The algorithm is applied to the Holstein-Hubbard model in the dynamical mean field approximation, where it allows access to strong interactions, very low temperatures and arbitrary fillings. We show that a renormalized Migdal-Eliashberg theory provides a reasonlable description of the phonon contribution to the electronic self energy in strongly doped systems, but fails if the quasiparticle energy becomes of order of the phonon frequency.

description: This paper addresses the issue of policy evaluation in Markov Decision Processes, using linear function approximation. It provides a unified view of algorithms such as TD(lambda), LSTD(lambda), iLSTD, residual-gradient TD. It is asserted that they all consist in minimizing a gradient function and differ by the form of this function and their means of minimizing it. Two new schemes are introduced in that framework: Full-gradient TD which uses a generalization of the principle introduced in iLSTD, and EGD TD, which reduces the gradient by successive equi-gradient descents. These three algorithms form a new intermediate family with the interesting property of making much better use of the samples than TD while keeping a gradient descent scheme, which is useful for complexity issues and optimistic policy iteration.
D-branes on general N=1 backgrounds: superpotentials and D-terms

description: We study the dynamics governing space-time filling D-branes on Type II flux backgrounds preserving four-dimensional N=1 supersymmetry. The four-dimensional superpotentials and D-terms are derived. The analysis is kept on completely general grounds thanks to the use of recently proposed generalized calibrations, which also allow one to show the direct link of the superpotentials and D-terms with BPS domain walls and cosmic strings respectively. In particular, our D-brane setting reproduces the tension of D-term strings found from purely four-dimensional analysis. The holomorphicity of the superpotentials is also studied and a moment map associated to the D-terms is proposed. Among different examples, we discuss an application to the study of D7-branes on SU(3)-structure backgrounds, which reproduces and generalizes some previous results.

description: The normal mode model is one of the most popular approaches for solving underwater sound propagation problems. Among other methods, the finite difference method is widely used in classic normal mode programs. In many recent studies, the spectral method has been used for discretization. It is generally more accurate than the finite difference method. However, the spectral method requires that the variables to be solved are continuous in space, and the traditional spectral method is powerless for a layered marine environment. A Chebyshev-Tau spectral method based on domain decomposition is applied to the construction of underwater acoustic normal modes in this paper. In this method, the differential equation is projected onto spectral space from the original physical space with the help of an orthogonal basis of Chebyshev polynomials. A complex matrix eigenvalue / eigenvector problem is thus formed, from which the solution of horizontal wavenumbers and modal functions can be solved. The validity of the acoustic field calculation is tested in comparison with classic programs. The results of analysis and tests show that compared with the classic finite difference method, the proposed Chebyshev-Tau spectral method has the advantage of high computational accuracy. In addition, in terms of running time, our method is faster than the Legendre-Galerkin spectral method.

description: Warsaw. The Jewish Metropolis is an impressive collection of twenty five scholarly essays devoted to Warsaw and its Jewish community, from the earliest (mostly illegal) Jewish settlements in the Polish capital in the sixteenth century to the destruction and reconstruction of the Jewish community in the twentieth century. The book is divided into two parts: Part I ("The Rise of the Metropolis") discusses over four centuries of Jewish history in Warsaw prior to the outbreak of the Second World War. Part II ("Destruction of the Metropolis and Its Aftermath") presents new approaches to the tragic events of the post-1939 era. As the editors argue in the introduction to the volume, Warsaw's status of 'the first true metropolis in diasporic Jewish history' was not only about the numbers of Jews living there, but also about the diversity of the Jewish community (p. 2). This element became one of the recurring themes in almost all essays discussing the pre-war period.

description: We report on the direct measurement of hot electrons generated in the active region of blue light-emitting diodes grown by ammonia molecular beam epitaxy by electron emission spectroscopy. The external quantum efficiency of these devices is <1% and does not droop; thus, the efficiency losses from the intrinsic, interband, electron-electron-hole, or electron-hole-hole Auger should not be a significant source of hot carriers. The detection of hot electrons in this case suggests that an alternate hot electron generating process is occurring within these devices, likely a trap-assisted Auger recombination process.

description: Localized and propagating polaritons allow for highly sensitive analysis of (bio)chemical substances and processes. Nanoimaging of the polaritons evanescent fields allows for critically important experimental mode identification and for studying field confinement. Here we describe two setups for polariton nanoimaging and spectroscopy in liquid, which is an indispensable environment for (bio)chemical samples. We first demonstrate antenna mapping with a transflection infrared scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscope (s-SNOM), where the tip acts as a near-field scattering probe. We then demonstrate a total internal reflection (TIR) based setup, where the tip is both launching and probing ultra-confined polaritons in van der Waals materials, here phonon polaritons in hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) flakes. This work lays the foundation for s-SNOM based polariton interferometry in liquid, which has wide application potential for in-situ studies of chemical reactions at the bare or functionalized surface of polaritonic materials, including (bio)chemical recognition analogous to the classical surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy.

Reading and oral language skills of young adults with childhood diagnoses of dyslexia : developmental and compensatory patterns
Creators: name: Ransby, Marilyn Joan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The construct of compensation was adopted as a theoretical point of reference in a follow-up study of young adults with childhood diagnoses of developmental dyslexia (AD). Using a reading-level (RL) and chronological age- matched (CA) design, the AD's connected discourse reading skills were evaluated to determine the extent to which they were appropriate for their age and for their level of word recognition skill. The AD sample was expected to present with deficient word recognition and lower-order oral language skills. It was also expected that individual differences in connected discourse reading achievement and information processing would be associated with differences in oral language skills. Specifically, it was expected that the AD subjects with the best connected discourse reading skills would be those with the best general knowledge and higher-order oral language skills. It was also expected that the AD would present with qualitatively different information processing to compensate for weaknesses in lower-order language and phonological coding. Consistent with predictions, the AD group fell significantly behind the CA group on most aspects of reading skill for both accuracy and rate. The connected discourse reading achievement levels of the AD group were comparable to the younger RL group (mean age 12 years). The AD subjects, however, fell significantly below the RL group on phonological coding. For the most part, the oral language and general information skills of the AD group were comparable to the RL group. However, the AD group had significantly better scores on two measures of vocabulary knowledge. As predicted, the AD participants with the best reading comprehension skills were those with the best higher-order oral language skills. When AD subjects encountered connected discourse reading tasks for which the accuracy and speed requirements were demanding, the best predictors of reading achievement outcomes were word recognition and spelling skills. Although the achievement outcomes of the AD group were comparable to the RL group, their information processing was characterized as being qualitatively different. The results were interpreted as providing support for a model of dyslexic reading that features an interactive-compensatory component.

description: We perform a detailed investigation of the simplest possible cosmological model in which a bounce can occur, namely that where the dynamics is led by a simple massive scalar field in a general self-interacting potential and a background spacetime with positively curved spatial sections. By means of a phase space analysis, we give the conditions under which an initially contracting phase can be followed by a bounce and an inflationary phase lasting long enough (i.e., at least 60-70 e-folds) to suppress spatial curvature in today's observable universe. We find that, quite generically, this realization requires some amount of fine-tuning of the initial conditions. We study the effect of this background evolution on scalar perturbations by propagating an initial power-law power spectrum through the contracting phase, the bounce and the inflationary phase. We find that it is drastically modified, both spectrally (k-mode mixing) and in amplitude. It also acquires, at leading order, an oscillatory component, which, once evolved through the radiation and matter dominated eras, happens to be compatible with the WMAP data.

description: Celem zbioru jest porównanie stanu polskiego czytelnictwa książek ze szwedzkim. Środkiem do tego celu są przede wszystkim rozmowy z polskimi i szwedzkimi znawcami problematyki. W książce wypowiadają się szwedzcy i polscy pisarze, krytycy literaccy, bibliotekarze, samorządowcy, twórcy festiwali literackich, urzędnicy zajmujący się promocją czytelnictwa i literatury za granicą. (Główna redaktorka tomu była przez kilka lat dyrektorką Instytutu Polskiego w Sztokholmie i to jej doświadczenie widać w doborze rozmówców). Część z nich znana jest z publicznego głoszenia tez o czytelnictwie, a część w tej roli debiutuje. Opowiadają o tym, jak wśród Polaków i Szwedów było i jest z czytelnictwem, a jak być powinno. Znalazł się tu też samodzielny szkic autorstwa skandynawistki – rys historyczny dwóch nieodległych geograficznie społeczeństw skutecznie przybliża odległe w czasie czynniki współczesnego stanu czytelnictwa. Takim różnicującym Polskę i Szwecję czynnikiem, odległym w czasie o niemal pół tysiąca lat, jest reformacja. W tym ujęciu wykształceniu tradycji czytelniczej sprzyjać miał protestancki wymóg znajomości Biblii.

description: In his new book, Severin Gawlitta revisits the correspondence with the benefit of fifty years of hindsight. Drawing from the existing literature and newly available primary sources, including the papers of Cardinal Franz Hengsbach, Gawlitta skillfully reconstructs the political, social, and theological contexts that are essential for understanding the origin and impact of the letters. In so doing, he has produced what will likely remain the definitive treatment of the subject for many years to come.

description: Der Sammelband wurde von Saskia Warren und Phil Jones herausgegeben und ist aus einem Panel der jährlichen Konferenz der Royal Geographic Society im August 2013 mit dem Titel „New frontiers of connecting communities in the creative economy" hervorgegangen. Er hat einen interdisziplinären Ansatz und versammelt Beiträge überwiegend von Humangeograph_innen, Soziolog_innen und Praktiker_innen der Stadtentwicklung. Im ersten Teil des Bandes sind Beiträge zu finden, die die Rolle bestimmter kreativer Aktivitäten für die Entwicklung von Communities untersuchen. Die Beiträge im zweiten Teil beschäftigen sich mit der Bedeutung von Politik für die Kreativwirtschaft. Die meisten Artikel fokussieren auf den westeuropäischen Kontext und beziehen sich dabei überwiegend auf Großbritannien. Durch einen anderen Fokus stechen die Beiträge von Shari Daya zu Identitäten von Perlensticker_innen in Kapstadt sowie der Beitrag von Monika Murzyn-Kupisz und Jarosław Działek hervor. Letzterer trägt den Titel "Libraries and Museums as Breeding Grounds of Social Capital and Creativity: Potential and Challenges in the Post-socialist Context" und beschäftigt sich mit der Rolle von Museen und Bibliotheken in der Małopolska-Region. In den folgenden Ausführungen wird ein besonderer Fokus auf diesen Beitrag gelegt.

description: Powroty. Doświadczenia edukacyjno-zawodowe polskich reemigrantów to interdyscyplinarne studium, z którego czerpać mogą pedagodzy, doradcy zawodowi, andragodzy, socjolodzy i inni. Recenzowana publikacja składa się z sześciu części. (...) Pozyskane przez autorkę dane oraz wnioski z nich wypływające, skłaniają do refleksji na wielowymiarowością ludzkich biografii. Interesujący jest tu fakt, iż na temat migracji i doświadczeń z nią związanych wypowiadają się sami migranci, a więc osoby, które migracji zaznały i były jej uczestnikami. To właśnie spojrzenie mikro może w zasadniczy sposób wzbogacić obraz analizowanego przez badaczy wielu dziedzin zjawiska migracji i reemigracji.

description: Mimo, że tematyka Marca '68 poruszana była w wielu pracach licznego grona historyków, zdecydowanie warto jest sięgnąć po pozycję „My, ludzie z Marca". Dzięki perspektywie, którą obrał autor, tj. potraktowaniu wydarzeń jako swego rodzaju tła dla biografii zbiorowej całego pokolenia, niejeden historyk spojrzeć może na znane wydarzenia pod zupełnie nowym kątem. Zaś dzięki przystępnemu, interesującemu sposobowi prowadzenia narracji, pozycję tę można zdecydowanie polecić również niewyspecjalizowanym czytelnikom. Praca Piotra Osęki w pięknym stylu przypomina, iż historię tworzą ludzie i jeśli tylko istnieje taka możliwość, warto oddać głos właśnie im.

description: In two recent papers by Pore et al. and Khuyagbaatar et al. discovery of the new isotope Md-244 was reported. The decay data, however, are conflicting. While Pore et al. report two isomeric states decaying by alpha emission with E(1)=8.66(2) MeV, T_1/2=0.4+0.4/-0.1s and E(2)=8.31(2) MeV, T_1/2 approx 6 s, Khuyagbaatar et al. report only a single transition with a broad energy distribution of E=(8.73-8.86) MeV and T_1/2=0.30/-0.09 s. The data published by Pore et al. very similar to those published for Md-245 (E=8.64(2), 8.68(2) MeV T_1/2=0.35+0.23/-0.16}$ s ). Therefore, we compare the data presented for Md-244 by Pore et al. with those reported for Md-245 by Ninov et al. and also by Khuyagbaatar et al.. We conclude that the data presented by Pore et al. shall be attributed to Md-245 with small contributions (one event each) from Fm-245 and probably Md-246.

description: We present a mean-field theoretical study on the effect of a single non-magnetic impurity in quasi-one dimensional unconventional density wave. The local scattering potential is treated within the self-consistent $T$-matrix approximation. The local density of states around the impurity shows the presence of resonant states in the vicinity of the Fermi level, much the same way as in $d$-density waves or unconventional superconductors. The assumption for different forward and backscattering, characteristic to quasi-one dimensional systems in general, leads to a resonance state that is double peaked in the pseudogap. The Friedel oscillations around the impurity are also explored in great detail, both within and beyond the density wave coherence length $ξ_0$. Beyond $ξ_0$ we find power law behavior as opposed to the exponential decay of conventional density wave. The entropy and specific heat contribution of the impurity are also calculated for arbitrary scattering strengths.

description: We present a deep recurrent convolutional neural network (CNN) approach to solve the problem of hockey player identification in NHL broadcast videos. Player identification is a difficult computer vision problem mainly because of the players' similar appearance, occlusion, and blurry facial and physical features. However, we can observe players' jersey numbers over time by processing variable length image sequences of players (aka 'tracklets'). We propose an end-to-end trainable ResNet+LSTM network, with a residual network (ResNet) base and a long short-term memory (LSTM) layer, to discover spatio-temporal features of jersey numbers over time and learn long-term dependencies. For this work, we created a new hockey player tracklet dataset that contains sequences of hockey player bounding boxes. Additionally, we employ a secondary 1-dimensional convolutional neural network classifier as a late score-level fusion method to classify the output of the ResNet+LSTM network. This achieves an overall player identification accuracy score over 87% on the test split of our new dataset.

description: The idea that quantum gravity can be realized at the TeV scale is extremely attractive to theorists and experimentalists alike. This proposal leads to extra spacial dimensions large compared to the electroweak scale. Here we give a very systematic view of the foundations of the theories with large extra dimensions and their physical consequences.
