Use of alternative feed ingredients and the effects on growth and flesh quality of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria).
Creators: name: Friesen, Erin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Aquaculture feeds, traditionally composed mainly of fishmeal and fish oil, currently represent the largest cost to fish farmers. With aquaculture growing at an average of 8.8% per year and limited supply of fishmeal and fish oil, suitable alternatives must be found. In addition to increasing sustainability and lowering production costs, the use of plant and/or animal ingredients has the potential to lower flesh levels of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) such as polychlorinated biphenyls. Fish oil and to a lesser extent fishmeal, are considered to be the largest source POPs in farmed fish. Using alternative feed ingredients however, can compromise fish growth and the flesh quality of the final product. Lipid sources including flaxseed oil, canola oil, poultry fat and the protein sources canola protein concentrate, soy protein concentrate and poultry by-product meal were examined as alternatives to fish oil and fishmeal in one on-farm field study and one laboratory feeding trial with Atlantic salmon (Salmon salar) and two laboratory feeding trials conducted on sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria), a relatively new marine aquaculture species. The nutritive value of the alternative ingredients was assessed on the basis of fish growth performance, proximate composition, fatty acid composition and apparent digestibility coefficients. Sensory attributes were evaluated in the sablefish studies while flesh POP levels were determined in both species. The use of alternative dietary lipids showed no negative effects on fish performance. However replacement of fishmeal with plant proteins in some cases, negatively affected fish growth. Flesh levels of persistent organic pollutants were significantly decreased (p<0.05) with the use of alternative dietary lipids, and flesh levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) were also depressed. Activated carbon treated anchovy oil and finishing diets were examined in the Atlantic salmon laboratory feeding trial and were effective at lowering flesh POP levels while providing high levels of EPA and DHA. The use of alternative feed ingredients will soon be inevitable in aquaculture feeds. The current research shows alternative lipids and proteins can be incorporated successfully in sablefish and Atlantic salmon feeds with minimal effects on fish growth and quality.
Quark and lepton flavor physics opportunities at FCC-ee

description: The Future Circular Collider (FCC) is a post-LHC project aiming at direct and indirect searches for physics beyond the SM in a new 91 km tunnel at CERN. The abundant production of beauty and charm hadrons in the 6 × 10$^{12}$ Z boson decays expected in e+e- collisions at FCC-ee offers
outstanding opportunities in flavour physics with b and c hadron samples that exceed those available at Belle II by a factor of 20, and are complementary to the LHC heavy-flavour programme. A wide range of me heavy-flavoured particles and CP-violation studies, which will benefit from the low-background experimental environment, the high Lorentz boost, and the availability of the full spectrum of hadron species. The tau pairs production in the Tera-Z phase will be 3 times larger than at Belle II, and thanks to more favorable experimental conditions (better tau - hadrons separation,
better tau hemispheres separation, higher momentum tracks) it will be possible to significantly improve the determinations of the tau-lepton properties – lifetime, leptonic and hadronic widths, and mass – allowing for important tests of lepton universality. Furthermore, it will be possible to extend the searches for Lepton-Flavour-Violating tau decays, and, via the measurement of the tau polarisation, FCC-ee can access a precise determination of the neutral-current couplings of electrons and taus. These measurements present strong experimental challenges to exploit as far as possible statistical uncertainties 𝑂 (10$^{-5}$), raising strict detector requirements. This contribution will present an overview of the broad potential of the FCC-ee flavour physics program and also some preliminary results from recent analyses.
The Great Fuzzy Hashing Debate
Creators: name: Schwartz, Edward
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2024
Subjects: Software Engineering

description: In the first post in this series, we introduced the use of hashing techniques to detect similar functions in reverse engineering scenarios. We described PIC hashing, the hashing technique we use in SEI Pharos, as well as some terminology and metrics to evaluate how well a hashing technique is working. We left off last time after showing that PIC hashing performs poorly in some cases, and  wondered aloud if it is possible to do better. In this post, we will try to answer that question by introducing and experimenting with a very different type of hashing called fuzzy hashing. Like regular hashing, there is a hash  function that reads a sequence of bytes and produces a hash. Unlike regular hashing, though, you don't compare fuzzy hashes with equality.  Instead, there is a similarity function that takes two fuzzy hashes as input and returns a number between 0 and 1, where 0  means completely dissimilar and 1 means completely similar.
My colleague, Cory Cohen, and I debated whether there is utility in applying fuzzy hashes to instruction bytes, and our debate motivated this blog post. I thought  there would be a benefit, but Cory felt there would not. Hence, these  experiments. For this blog post, I'll be using the Lempel-Ziv Jaccard Distance fuzzy hash (LZJD) because it's fast, whereas most fuzzy hash algorithms are slow. A fast fuzzy hashing algorithm opens up the possibility of using fuzzy hashes to search for similar functions in a large database  and other interesting possibilities. As a baseline I'll also be using Levenshtein distance,  which is a measure of how many changes you need to make to one string to transform it to another. For example, the Levenshtein distance between "cat" and "bat" is 1, because you only need to change the first letter. Levenshtein distance allows us to define an optimal notion of similarity at the instruction byte level. The tradeoff is that it's really slow, so it's only really useful as a baseline in our experiments.
A $Q$-polynomial structure for the Attenuated Space poset $\mathcal A_q(N,M)$

description: The goal of this article is to display a $Q$-polynomial structure for the Attenuated Space poset $\mathcal A_q(N,M)$. The poset $\mathcal A_q(N,M)$ is briefly described as follows. Start with an $(N+M)$-dimensional vector space $H$ over a finite field with $q$ elements. Fix an $M$-dimensional subspace $h$ of $H$. The vertex set $X$ of $\mathcal A_q(N,M)$ consists of the subspaces of $H$ that have zero intersection with $h$. The partial order on $X$ is the inclusion relation. The $Q$-polynomial structure involves two matrices $A, A^* \in {\rm Mat}_X(\mathbb C)$ with the following entries. For $y, z \in X$ the matrix $A$ has $(y,z)$-entry $1$ (if $y$ covers $z$); $q^{{\rm dim}\,y}$ (if $z$ covers $y$); and 0 (if neither of $y,z$ covers the other). The matrix $A^*$ is diagonal, with $(y,y)$-entry $q^{-{\rm dim}\,y}$ for all $y\in X$. By construction, $A^*$ has $N+1$ eigenspaces. By construction, $A$ acts on these eigenspaces in a (block) tridiagonal fashion. We show that $A$ is diagonalizable, with $2N+1$ eigenspaces. We show that $A^*$ acts on these eigenspaces in a (block) tridiagonal fashion. Using this action, we show that $A$ is $Q$-polynomial. We show that $A, A^*$ satisfy a pair of relations called the tridiagonal relations. We consider the subalgebra $T$ of ${\rm Mat}_X(\mathbb C)$ generated by $A, A^*$.
 We show that $A,A^*$ act on each irreducible $T$-module as a Leonard pair.

description: We investigate $^*$-homomorphisms with nuclear dimension equal to zero. In the framework of classification of $^*$-homo-morphisms, we characterise such maps as those that can be approximately factorised through an AF-algebra.
 Along the way, we obtain various obstructions for the total invariant of zero-dimensional morphisms and show that in the presence of real rank zero, nuclear dimension zero can be completely determined at the level of the total invariant. We end by characterising when unital embeddings of $\mathcal{Z}$ have nuclear dimension equal to zero.

Legal, economic, and industrial relations considerations in workforce integrations following corporate mergers
Creators: name: Hodge, Fraser Douglas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Over the past several decades the business world has witnessed countless corporate mergers of unlimited size and description. The ramifications of these events are profound and the impacts are felt in every walk of life. Canada is not exempt. Consolidation of workforces following corporate mergers has become a complex undertaking which defines the extent and scope of impact on every employee. Employees enjoy varying degrees of control or influence over protection of their working conditions and benefits accrued over their employment service. The extent of an employee's influence over the impact of his corporate merger is governed by his placement in the hierarchy of the corporation. Management employees have the least influence while highly unionized employees have the greatest influence. This thesis will explore the evolution of legal, economic, and industrial relations principles identifiable as governing an employee's ability to carry forward his earned benefits of employment primarily in the Canadian context with some view to the international context.

description: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have emerged as a prominent class of data-driven methods for molecular property prediction. However, a key limitation of typical GNN models is their inability to quantify uncertainties in the predictions. This capability is crucial for ensuring the trustworthy use and deployment of models in downstream tasks. To that end, we introduce AutoGNNUQ, an automated uncertainty quantification (UQ) approach for molecular property prediction. AutoGNNUQ leverages architecture search to generate an ensemble of high-performing GNNs, enabling the estimation of predictive uncertainties. Our approach employs variance decomposition to separate data (aleatoric) and model (epistemic) uncertainties, providing valuable insights for reducing them. In our computational experiments, we demonstrate that AutoGNNUQ outperforms existing UQ methods in terms of both prediction accuracy and UQ performance on multiple benchmark datasets. Additionally, we utilize t-SNE visualization to explore correlations between molecular features and uncertainty, offering insight for dataset improvement. AutoGNNUQ has broad applicability in domains such as drug discovery and materials science, where accurate uncertainty quantification is crucial for decision-making.

description: The COSINUS direct dark matter experiment situated at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy is set to investigate the nature of the annually modulating signal detected by the DAMA/LIBRA experiment. COSINUS has already demonstrated that sodium iodide crystals can be operated at mK temperature as cryogenic scintillating calorimeters using transition edge sensors, despite the complication of handling a hygroscopic and low melting point material. With results from a new COSINUS prototype, we show that particle discrimination on an event-by-event basis in NaI is feasible using the dual-channel readout of both phonons and scintillation light. The detector was mounted in the novel remoTES design and operated in an above-ground facility for 9.06 g$\cdot$d of exposure. With a 3.7 g NaI crystal, e$^-$/$γ$ events could be clearly distinguished from nuclear recoils down to the nuclear recoil energy threshold of 15 keV.

description: IEC 60848 GRAFCET is a standardized, graphical specification language for control functions. Because of the semiformal nature of IEC 60848, the details of specifications created with GRAFCET can be interpreted in different ways, possibly leading to faulty implementations. These ambiguities have been partially addressed in existing literature, but solved in different manners. Based on a literature review, this work aims at providing an overview of existing interpretations and, based on that, proposes a comprehensive interpretation algorithm for IEC 60848, which takes all relevant ambiguities from the literature review into account.

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit untersucht die Finanzierungsstrategien von Amateurfußballvereinen und deren Auswirkungen auf die finanzielle Stabilität anhand der deutschen Bodenseeregion. Der Amateurfußball ist für seine gesellschaftliche Bedeutung bekannt, doch die finanzielle Stabilität der Vereine ist zunehmend bedroht, insbesondere durch Ereignisse wie die COVID-19-Pandemie. Ziel der Arbeit ist es, die aktuellen Finanzierungsmodelle zu analysieren und deren Einfluss auf die finanzielle Stabilität und die Bindung von ehrenamtlich Tätigen zu untersuchen. Die empirische Untersuchung basiert auf einer umfassenden Datenerhebung bei Vereinen der deutschen Bodenseeregion. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Mitgliedsbeiträge und Sponsoring die Hauptfinanzierungsquellen sind. Zudem wird aufgezeigt, dass Fördermittel und staatliche Subventionen eine bedeutende Rolle spielen. Diese gelten im Vergleich zu Sponsoringeinnahmen als stabilere Einkommensquelle und sind weniger von wirtschaftlichen Schwankungen betroffen. Abschließend werden praxisorientierte Handlungsempfehlungen abgeleitet. Diese sollen den Amateurfußballvereinen helfen, ihre Finanzierungsstrategien zu optimieren und die nachhaltige Entwicklung zu fördern. Die Empfehlungen sind nicht nur für die Bodenseeregion relevant, sondern bieten auch Anhaltspunkte für Vereine in anderen Regionen.

The aim of the study is to analyse current financing models and examine their influence on the financial stability and the retention of volunteers. The empirical study is based on a comprehensive data collection of amateur football clubs in the German Lake Constance region. The results show that membership fees and sponsorship are the main sources of funding. Additionally, it is demonstrated that grants and state subsidies play a significant role. These are considered more stable sources of income compared to sponsorship revenues and are less affected by economic fluctuations. Finally, practical recommendations for action are derived. These are intended to help amateur football clubs optimise their financing strategies and promote sustainable development. The recommendations are not only relevant for the Lake Constance region, but also provide insights for clubs in other regions.

description: In this paper, we investigate the influence of perfect fluid dark matter and quantum corrections on the thermodynamics of non-linear magnetic-charged black hole. We consider the metric of the static non-linear magnetic-charged black hole in the background of perfect fluid dark matter. Starting with the black hole temperature and the corrected entropy, we use the event horizon propriety in order to find the temperature, and based on the surface gravity definition, we find the uncorrected entropy. However, using the definition of the corrected entropy due to thermal fluctuation, we find and plot the entropy of the black hole. We find that the entropy is highly affected for smaller non-linear magnetic-charged black holes. Afterwards, we study the thermodynamic stability of the black hole by computing and plotting the evolution of heat capacity. The results show that second-order phase transition occurs, which appears more later as the dark matter parameter decreases, and leads the black hole to move from the stable phase to the unstable phase. Furthermore, we show that the heat capacity for smaller black holes are also affected, since it appears not being only an increasing function.

In-place accumulation of fast multiplication formulae

Subjects: subject: Symbolic Computation (cs.SC)

description: This paper deals with simultaneously fast and in-place algorithms for formulae where the result has to be linearly accumulated: some of the output variables are also input variables, linked by a linear dependency. Fundamental examples include the in-place accumulated multiplication of polynomials or matrices, C+=AB. The difficulty is to combine in-place computations with fast algorithms: those usually come at the expense of (potentially large) extra temporary space, but with accumulation the output variables are not even available to store intermediate values. We first propose a novel automatic design of fast and in-place accumulating algorithms for any bilinear formulae (and thus for polynomial and matrix multiplication) and then extend it to any linear accumulation of a collection of functions. For this, we relax the in-place model to any algorithm allowed to modify its inputs, provided that those are restored to their initial state afterwards. This allows us, in fine, to derive unprecedented in-place accumulating algorithms for fast polynomial multiplications and for Strassen-like matrix multiplications.

Remarks
Mycotretus distinguendus was described by Arrow (1909) based on individuals first identified by Gorham (1888) as M. sobrinus Guérin-Méneville (Fig. 22F). According to Arrow (1909: 196) “The Mexican form recorded as Mycotretus sobrinus, Guer., by Mr. Gorham in the same work must similarly be distinguished from that Brazilian species. It is much smaller, relatively shorter, the knees blacker, and the abdominal lines more marked. It may be called M. distinguendus ”. We compared the male genitalia of both M. distinguendus and M. sobrinus and observed that they are clearly separated species. We also noted that M. distinguendus differs from other Mycotretus in having the first antennomere of the antennal club conspicuously wider than succeeding antennomeres.

description: Abstract

The dose distribution of a combination of a DCAT and a VMAT plan was compared to the VMAT one in Prostate RT treatment. Three RT plan variants for stage I prostate cancer patients were generated. The plan variants were: A: VMAT, B: DCAT, and C: DCAT base plan with VMAT bias dose plan. The dose field in the PTV6000 was investigated with 3D gamma analysis, and the OAR doses with DVH index analysis using the ProKnow system guidelines. The sum of a DCAT and a VMAT plan showed a dose distribution close to one of the VMAT plans and low heterogeneity indices in PTV6000. The total MU-s were lower compared to the VMAT plans.

description: The graphical modeling language GRAFCET is used as a formal specification language in industrial control design. This paper proposes a structural analysis that approximates the variable values of GRAFCET to allow verification on specification level. GRAFCET has different elements resulting in concurrent behavior, which in general results in a large state space for analyses like model checking. The proposed analysis approach approximates that state space and takes into consideration the entire set of GRAFCET elements leading to concurrent behavior. The analysis consists of two parts: We present an algorithm analyzing concurrent steps to approximate the step variables and we adapt analysis means from the field of Petri nets to approximate internal and output variables. The proposed approach is evaluated using an industrial-sized example to demonstrate that the analysis is capable of verifying behavioral errors and is not limited by the specification size of practical plants.

Unconventional forms of synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus and the striatum
Creators: name: Liu, Zhi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Synaptic transmission occurs as a result of either a spontaneous release of presynaptic vesicles or a batch release of presynaptic vesicles driven by action potentials. The physiological consequence of synaptic transmission driven by different patterns and frequencies of presynaptic stimulation has been extensively investigated. However, the physiological nature, mechanism as well as relevance of prolonged presynaptic stimulation have been poorly characterized. In this dissertation, I present three projects in which prolonged stimulation of synaptic transmission in different forms and different brain regions was studied for its effect on synaptic transmission, mechanisms and physiological relevance. In the first project, prolonged electrical stimulation (100 sec) at high frequency induced a deep synaptic depression in acute hippocampal slices, followed by a recovery of synaptic transmission after ~15 min. The deep synaptic depression was attributed to a complete depletion of presynaptic vesicle pools. In the second project, attempts were made to characterize the mechanism of nuclear activation of gene transcription induced by prolonged electrical stimulation (100 sec). Our results demonstrated that reduced inactivation of non-L-type calcium channels failed to provide calcium required for gene transcription, leaving the activation of gene transcription a selective function for L-type calcium channels. In the third project, we sought to study the physiological relevance of enhanced miniature events of inhibitory synapses induced by prolonged chemical stimulation. We showed that prolonged application (2 min) of nicotine to the striatal slice enhanced the frequency of miniature inhibitory currents that was accompanied with a reduction in the amplitude of evoked response. This reduction in the amplitude of evoked responses was ascribed to a compromised action potential invasion of presynaptic terminals possibly due to inactivation of sodium channels resulting from nicotine-induced depolarization. To summarize, prolonged stimulation of presynaptic vesicle release imposes significant influence upon neuron-to-neuron communication, with distinct mechanisms in different brain regions.
