description: In Herschel images of the Galactic plane and many star forming regions, a major factor limiting our ability to extract faint compact sources is cirrus confusion noise, operationally defined as the "statistical error to be expected in photometric measurements due to confusion in a background of fluctuating surface brightness". The histogram of the flux densities of extracted sources shows a distinctive faint-end cutoff below which the catalog suffers from incompleteness and the flux densities become unreliable. This empirical cutoff should be closely related to the estimated cirrus noise and we show that this is the case. We compute the cirrus noise directly, both on Herschel images from which the bright sources have been removed and on simulated images of cirrus with statistically similar fluctuations. We connect these direct estimates with those from power spectrum analysis, which has been used extensively to predict the cirrus noise and provides insight into how it depends on various statistical properties and photometric operational parameters. We report multi-wavelength power spectra of diffuse Galactic dust emission from Hi-GAL observations at 70 to 500 microns within Galactic plane fields at l= 30 degrees and l= 59 degrees. We find that the exponent of the power spectrum is about -3. At 250 microns, the amplitude of the power spectrum increases roughly as the square of the median brightness of the map and so the expected cirrus noise scales linearly with the median brightness. Generally, the confusion noise will be a worse problem at longer wavelengths, because of the combination of lower angular resolution and the rising power spectrum of cirrus toward lower spatial frequencies, but the photometric signal to noise will also depend on the relative spectral energy distribution of the source compared to the cirrus.

The gut microbiome and metabolic pathways of recurrent kidney stone patients and their non-stone-forming live-in partners
Creators: name: Choy, Wai Ho
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Background: Metabolism-associated kidney stones such as oxalate, uric acid and cystine stones are caused by over-accumulation or under-excretion of their associated metabolites in the human body. Although the kidney is the primary excretion site for these metabolites, the intestine is an important alternative site of excretion. Intestinal bacterial community members contribute to the breakdown, transport and assimilation of stone-associated metabolites including oxalate, uric acid, cystine and butyrate. To better diagnose and prevent the formation of metabolic kidney stones, the intestinal microbiome should be examined at the level of bacterial communities and interconnected metabolic pathways. Experimental approach: This study examines the differences in bacterial communities and metabolic pathways between the intestinal microbiomes of recurrent kidney stone patients and non-stone-forming controls. Fecal samples were collected from 17 recurrent kidney stone patients and 17 controls with no stone-forming history. Bacterial DNA was then extracted from the fecal samples. To examine bacterial taxonomy, specific variable regions of the 16S rRNA gene were sequenced from the DNA and aligned to a bacterial gene database to identify and quantify the bacteria present. To examine metabolic pathways, metagenomic DNA libraries were sequenced, assembled and aligned to a metabolic gene database to identify and quantify the metabolic genes present. Results: Bacterial populations in patient microbiomes appear to be less diverse than those in control microbiomes. At the bacterial species level, we found that patient microbiomes had lower abundance of Oxalobacter formigenes, a well-known oxalate-degrading bacterium. At the metabolic pathway level, patient microbiomes were found to contain a lower abundance of genes important for the production of butyrate, a fatty acid that promotes overall intestinal integrity and has been found to upregulate the expression of oxalate transporters in the gut. Conclusions: This study verifies previous findings that a majority of recurrent kidney stone formers lack O. formigenes in their intestinal microbiomes. Additionally, analysis into metabolic genes in the gut uncovered an additional deficiency in the butyrate metabolism pathway that could influence overall gut homeostasis. Reduced bacterial diversity in recurrent stone formers also suggest patient microbiomes may be dysbiotic, a state common to many intestinal diseases.

description: Background This review aims to (1) consolidate evidence regarding the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), (2) conduct a meta-analysis of the association between SES and CRF using methodologically comparable data, stratified by sex, and (3) test whether the association varies after adjustment for physical activity (PA). Methods A systematic review of studies from MEDLINE, EMBASE, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (ScIELO), and Cochrane Library without time or language restrictions, which investigated associations between SES and CRF. Risk of bias within studies was assessed using a customized quality assessment tool. Results were summarized in table format and methodologically similar studies were synthesized using meta-analysis of Hedges’ g effect sizes. Synthesized results were appraised for cross-study bias. Results were tested for the impact of PA adjustment using meta-regression. Results Compared to individuals with low education, both men and women showed higher CRF among individuals with high education (men 0.12 [0.04–0.20], women 0.19 [0.02–0.36]), while participants with medium education showed no significant difference in CRF (men 0.03 [− 0.04–0.11], women 0.09 [− 0.03–0.21]). Adjustment for PA did not significantly impact the association between education and CRF. Conclusions There is fair evidence for an association between high levels of education and increased CRF. This could have implications for monitoring, of health target compliance and of chronic disease risk among higher risk populations, to detect and prevent non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and to diminish social health inequalities.

description: The angular analysis of exclusive rare B-meson decays via intermediate vector mesons V into 4-body final states of two pseudo-scalars P_1, P_2 and a pair of light leptons l = e, mu offers a large set of observables. They can be used to test the electroweak short-distance couplings in the Standard Model and to search for New Physics. The two kinematic regions of low and high dilepton mass depend on short-distance physics in complementary ways and can be expanded in powers of Lambda_QCD/m_b. These expansions guide towards suitable combinations of observables allowing to i) reduce the hadronic uncertainties in the extraction of the short-distance couplings or ii) test the lattice QCD (B -> V) form factors in short-distance independent combinations. Several such possibilities of CP-averaged and CP-asymmetric (T-even and T-odd) quantities are presented for B_d^0 --> K^*0 (-> K pi) l^+ l^- and time-integrated CP-asymmetries without tagging for (anti-B_s, B_s) --> phi (--> K^- K^+) l^+ l^- decays in view of the latest B-factory and CDF results and the forthcoming LHCb measurements.

Rethinking the adult guardianship response : mental capacity and vulnerability in the context of dementia in old age
Creators: name: Hall, Margaret Isabel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: The current discourse around supported decision making and the Convention on the Rights of persons With Disabilities has challenged medico-legal guardianship and the mental capacity construct at its conceptual core, re-conceptualising decision-making as a skill which can be developed and/or enabled through practice and support. Two major gaps in the supported decision making paradigm have precluded a true paradigm shift, however: a failure to consider the needs of persons unable to express will or preference of any kind in relation to day to day tasks, and a failure to consider exploitation through the high-jacking of mere choices (i.e. non-genuine decisions) by others. The phenomenological nature of dementia intersects with the distinctive relationship and social contexts of old age to make these gaps especially meaningful in the context of dementia in old age. While a guardianship model that includes substitute decision-making would fill these gaps, the theoretical and practical problems associated with the current medico-legal guardianship model must be addressed. Using the methodology of pragmatic inquiry, this study proposes re-thinking adult guardianship as a response to vulnerability (the impaired performance of thinking processes in connection with an individual’s social, relationship and material contexts), and sets out a preliminary guardianship model constructed on that basis.

description: We conducted the observational tests of a phase correction scheme for the Atacama Compact Array (ACA) of the Atacama Large Millimeter and submillimeter Array (ALMA) using the Submillimeter Array (SMA). Interferometers at millimeter- and submillimeter-wave are highly affected by the refraction induced by water vapor in the troposphere, which results as phase fluctuations. The ACA is planning to compensate the atmospheric phase fluctuations using the phase information of the outermost antennas with interpolating to the inner antennas by creating a phase screen. The interpolation and extrapolation phase correction schemes using phase screens are tested with the SMA to study how effective these schemes are. We produce a plane of a wavefront (phase screen) from the phase information of three antennas for each integration, and this phase screen is used for the interpolation and extrapolation of the phases of inner and outer antennas, respectively. The interpolation scheme obtains apparently improved results, suggesting that the ACA phase correction scheme will work well. On the other hand, the extrapolation scheme often does not improve the results. After the extrapolation, unexpectedly large phase fluctuations show up to the antennas at the distance of ~140 m away from the center of the three reference antennas. These direction vectors are almost perpendicular to the wind direction, suggesting that the phase fluctuations can be well explained by the frozen phase screen.

One important application domain is the modelling of biochemical systems, where states are represented by port graphs and the dynamics is driven by rules and strategies. A graph rewriting tool's capability to interactively explore the features of the rewriting system provides useful insights into possible behaviours of the model and its properties. We describe PORGY, a visual and interactive tool we have developed to model complex systems using port graphs and port graph rewrite rules guided by strategies, and to navigate in the derivation history. We demonstrate via examples some functionalities provided by PORGY.

DEEP LEARNING-BASED DETECTION OF FRAUD IN ONLINE RECRUITMENT
Creators: name: ADVANCED RESEARCH AND INNOVATIONS JOURNAL
Publisher: name: ari
Year: 2025

description: Concerned citizens might be reassured that this research examines a deep learning method for identifying fraud in online recruitment. Traditional systems for spotting rising fraud trends predominantly depend on rule-based screening, rendering them susceptible. In comparison to alternative methods, deep learning models, especially CNNs and RNNs, exhibit superior performance in identifying bogus job advertisements. The research utilizes a database of real and fabricated job adverts to derive pertinent textual and metadata for categorization objectives. A hybrid deep learning model integrates an attention mechanism with LSTM techniques to improve detection accuracy. The experimental findings indicate that the proposed model surpasses existing machine learning techniques in accuracy and reliability. The model's stability and generalizability are assessed through multiple datasets. Researchers may explore explainable AI systems for fraud detection in the future. This research significantly aids in the development of dependable online job boards.

description: We explore the consequences of the mass generation due to the Higgs field in strong gravity astrophysical environments. The vacuum expectation value of the Higgs field is predicted to depend on the curvature of spacetime, potentially giving rise to peculiar spectroscopic shifts, named hereafter "Higgs shifts." Higgs shifts could be searched through dedicated multiwavelength and multispecies surveys with high spatial and spectral resolution near strong gravity sources such as Sagittarius A* or broad searches for signals due to primordial black holes. The possible absence of Higgs shifts in these surveys should provide limits to the coupling between the Higgs particle and the curvature of spacetime, a topic of interest for a recently proposed Higgs-driven inflationary model. We discuss some conceptual issues regarding the coexistence between the Higgs mechanism and gravity, especially for their different handling of fundamental and composite particles.

Orbital evolution of eccentric planets in radiative discs

name: Kley, Willy
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: With an average eccentricity of about 0.29, the eccentricity distribution of extrasolar planets is markedly different from the solar system. Among other scenarios considered, it has been proposed that eccentricity may grow through planet-disc interaction. Recently, it has been noticed that the thermodynamical state of the disc can significantly influence the migration properties of growing protoplanets. However, the evolution of planetary eccentricity in radiative discs has not been considered yet. In this paper we study the evolution of planets on eccentric orbits that are embedded in a three-dimensional viscous disc and analyse the disc's effect on the orbital evolution of the planet. We use the three-dimensional hydrodynamical code NIRVANA that includes full tensor viscosity and implicit radiation transport in the flux-limited diffusion approximation. The code uses the FARGO-algorithm to speed up the simulations. First we measure the torque and power exerted on the planet by the disc for fixed orbits, and then we let the planet start with initial eccentricity and evolve it in the disc. For locally isothermal we confirm previous results and find eccentricity damping and inward migration for planetary cores. In the case of radiative discs, the planets experience an inward migration as long as its eccentricity lies above a certain threshold. After the damping of eccentricity cores with masses below 33 Earthmasses begin to migrate outward in radiative discs, while higher mass cores always migrate inward. For all planetary masses studied (up to 200 Earthmasses) we find eccentricity damping. In viscous discs the orbital eccentricity of embedded planets is damped during the evolution independent of the mass. Hence, planet-disc interaction does not seem to be a viable mechanism to explain the observed high eccentricity of exoplanets.

description: We discuss possibility to obtain stronger constraints on non-Newtonian gravity from measuring the gradient of the Casimir force between a cylinder and a plate. Exact analytical expression for the Yukawa-type force in a cylinder-plate configuration is obtained, as well as its asymptotic expansions. The gravitational force is compared with the Casimir force acting between a cylinder and a plate. Numerical computations for the prospective constraints on non-Newtonian gravity are performed for recently proposed experiment using a microfabricated cylinder attached to a micromachined oscillator. Specifically, it is shown that this experiment is expected to obtain up to 70 times stronger constraints on the Yukawa-type force, compared with the best present day limits, over a wide interaction range from 12.5 to 630 nm.

description: Creative and cultural industries currently enjoy significant hyperbole as drivers of economic growth and human development in the least developed countries. This optimistic institutional discourse has yet to be matched by practical implementation of economic interventions intended to expand quality, professionalism, opportunities, and revenue in the cultural industry sectors. This hesitancy is examined through a historical overview of the role of culture in international development, and a cross-disciplinary approach will be used to examine concerns and possible frameworks regarding cultural policy in strategic planning in least-developed countries (LDCs).
An autoethnographic case study of the music industry sector in Liberia explores the tension, opportunities, and potential drawbacks of an interventionist approach in one of the world’s poorest economies. Informal markets, sector gaps, and research gaps present obstacles that necessitate non-instrumental, localized, non-linear approaches and reasonable expectations for sector growth.

This study hopes to bring us closer to being able to answer the question: are economic interventions in cultural industry sectors in LDCs worth pursuing?
Children and Gender Inequality: Evidence from Switzerland
Creators: name: Tschan, Lucas
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Despite significant international initiatives, the gender wage gap seems to persist and in the more recent

past has even shown effects of reinforcement. While traditional factors such as education, at least in

developed countries, seem to play a negligible role, more modern influences such as the division of

labor, mostly based on the birth of children, are having an impact on wage discrepancies between men

and women. Using data from the Swiss Household Panel, this paper analyses if this so-called motherhood

wage penalty for women exists in Switzerland and what its effects are. The findings from the

event-driven regression method show, that depending on the years since the birth of the first child,

women earn between 20 and 40% less than men, controlling for characteristics such as age, education

and labor-related features. According to the analysis, most of the motherhood wage penalty is due to a

significant reduction in women’s workload compared to men’s, which also results in lower career opportunities.

Furthermore, findings from robustness checks show that even when controlling for full-time

individuals, there seems to be a motherhood wage penalty, as women’s wages tend to grow at slower

rate than men’s after the birth of the first child.
Profiling extracellular vesicles signatures and deiminated protein cargo across phylogeny and pilot assessment of in vitro application of EVs in tissue regeneration, with focus on selected taxa displaying unusual immunological properties.
Creators: name: D'alessio, Stefania
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2024

description: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small membrane-bound structures secreted by cells that have emerged as key mediators of intercellular communication, carrying a diverse cargo of proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids that regulate various physiological processes. This thesis presents a comprehensive investigation into EV-mediated processes across diverse animal species, shedding light on their significance in biological systems. EV signature profiles of purple sea urchin, sea lamprey and reindeer and their deiminated protein cargoes revealed similarity across species, highlighting the conservation of deiminated proteins involved in epigenetic regulation and innate immune responses across phylogeny. Examination of circulatory EVs under stress conditions in a hypoxia-resistant species, such as the naked mole-rat, identifies pathways linking the brain citrullinome alterations to changes in circulatory EV profiles. Moreover, the thesis explores the regenerative potential of EVs derived from Atlantic cod mucus and serum. Proteomic analysis of cod-derived EVs uncovers a distinct cargo of proteins contributing to wound healing processes. Functional assays demonstrate the efficacy of cod serum-derived EVs in enhancing wound closure and upregulating key regulators of tissue repair. Findings from the studies in this thesis aimed at advancing EV-mediated cellular communication and its implications for health and diseases. Elucidating EV signatures and functions across phylogeny offers insights into the development of EV-based biomarkers and therapeutic strategies.

description: This research explores the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) for flood forecasting through the use of satellite imagery. Landslides and other natural calamities have the potential to wreak havoc on communities and their infrastructure. The limits of typical prediction algorithms are caused by the difficult geographic conditions and the lack of data. Using CNNs and other deep learning and machine learning models, this research analyzes high-resolution satellite pictures for patterns and identifies potentially hazardous regions. Using AI improves prediction accuracy, streamlines real-time monitoring, and fortifies early warning systems. This research's findings show that landslide prevention and disaster response could benefit from geospatial analysis supplemented with artificial intelligence.
Erythropoietin promotes functional recovery via anti-apoptotic mechanisms in mice unilateral ureteral obstruction
Creators: name: Park, Elliya
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: The ureter transfers urine from the kidney through sequential contractions, called peristalsis. When obstructed, accumulated urine builds up high pressure which leads to dysfunction in the urological tracts. Our laboratory showed that, in mice, ureteral peristalsis is not recovered for 10 days after removing a 24-hour obstruction. Delayed ureteral recovery affects the kidney negatively as the ureter cannot transport urine properly. Studies have shown that erythropoietin (EPO), a hematopoietic hormone, protects different organs against various injuries mainly by suppressing apoptosis, via EPO receptor (EPOR) and β-common receptor (βCR) heterodimers. Our laboratory showed that prophylactic EPO treatment of obstructed mice accelerated recovery of the ureter and the kidney following the reversal of ureteral obstruction. We hypothesized that EPO treatment promotes functional recovery of the ureter and the kidney via anti-apoptotic mechanisms. The objective of this study was to investigate EPO-induced mechanisms in accelerating recovery from ureteral obstruction in 2 mice strains. Unilateral ureteral obstruction was created for 24, 48, 72 hours using non-traumatic micro-clip (n=10). EPO was administered daily for 4 days either prophylactically or concomitantly with ureteral obstruction. TUNEL assay and immunohistochemistry with phospho-NF-κB p65 and phospho-STAT5 antibodies on ureteral tissues and qRT-PCR with primers specific to EPO, EPOR, βCR, STAT5A, BCL-2, BCL-XL, BAX and NF-κB on ureteral and renal tissues were performed. Our study showed that ureteral obstruction decreased ureteral peristalsis and increased apoptosis in 72-hour obstructed ureters. Ureteral obstruction decreased anti-apoptotic EPOR-βCR signaling and increased phospho-NF-κB p65. EPO treatment on ureteral obstruction improved ureteral function and suppressed apoptosis in obstructed ureters, by suppressing NF-κB and decreasing apoptotic BAX. EPO treatment did not induce erythropoiesis in our study, which supports that EPO’s protective effect is a separate mechanism from increased blood circulation by hematopoiesis. Also, EPO treatment without obstruction did not change EPOR-βCR signaling. In conclusion, ureteral obstruction increased apoptosis in ureteral tissues and decreased anti-apoptotic EPOR signaling with increased phospho-NF-κB p65, along with obstruction induced ureteral dysfunction. EPO treatment improved ureteral peristalsis and suppressed ureteral apoptosis, via suppression of NF-κB activation and decreased expression of BAX that compensated for the decreased expression of BCL-2 and BCL-XL by obstruction.

description: The physical mechanism behind the TeV gamma-ray source observed at the centre of the Galaxy is still unknown. One intriguing possibility is that the accretion flow onto the central supermassive black hole is responsible for accelerating protons to TeV energies which then diffuse outward to interact with molecular gas at distances of ~1 pc. Here, we build on our earlier detailed calculations of the proton transport to consider the time and energy dependence of the TeV signal following a burst of particle acceleration at Sgr A*. We find that, due to the strong energy dependence of the proton diffusion, any variability in the particle acceleration rate will only be visible in the TeV signal after a delay of ~ 10 yrs, and only at energies >~ 10 TeV. If the accelerator is long-lived it must have been running for at least 10^4 yrs and have a hard proton injection spectrum of α=0.7 (where dn/dE_inj \propto E^{-α}) in order to produce the correct amount of high energy gamma-ray flux. This rapid diffusion of high energy protons also rules out the possibility that the observed TeV source is directly related to the period of increased activity of Sgr A* that ended ~ 100 yrs ago. However, a good fit to the observed H.E.S.S. data was found with α=2.7 for the scenario of a brief (~few year long) burst of particle acceleration that occurred ~ 10 yrs ago. If such bursts are common then they will keep the TeV source energised and will likely produce spectral variability at >~ 10 TeV on

Repetitive Reduction Patterns in Lambda Calculus with letrec (Work in Progress)

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: For the lambda-calculus with letrec we develop an optimisation, which is based on the contraction of a certain class of 'future' (also: virtual) redexes. In the implementation of functional programming languages it is common practice to perform beta-reductions at compile time whenever possible in order to produce code that requires fewer reductions at run time. This is, however, in principle limited to redexes and created redexes that are 'visible' (in the sense that they can be contracted without the need for unsharing), and cannot generally be extended to redexes that are concealed by sharing constructs such as letrec. In the case of recursion, concealed redexes become visible only after unwindings during evaluation, and then have to be contracted time and again. We observe that in some cases such redexes exhibit a certain form of repetitive behaviour at run time. We describe an analysis for identifying binders that give rise to such repetitive reduction patterns, and eliminate them by a sort of predictive contraction. Thereby these binders are lifted out of recursive positions or eliminated altogether, as a result alleviating the amount of beta-reductions required for each recursive iteration. Both our analysis and simplification are suitable to be integrated into existing compilers for functional programming languages as an additional optimisation phase. With this work we hope to contribute to increasing the efficiency of executing programs written in such languages.

The splitting of the one-body potential in spin-polarized isospin-symmetric nuclear matter
Creators: name: Sammarruca, Francesca

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: Spin-polarized symmetric nuclear matter is studied within the Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach. We pay particular attention to the difference between the one-body potentials of upward and downward polarized nucleons. This is formally analogous to the "Lane potential" for isospin-asymmetric nuclear matter. We point out the necessity for additional information on this fundamentally important quantity and suggest ways to constrain it.

Reactive chemical doping of the $Bi_2 Se_3$ topological insulator

description: Using angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy we studied the evolution of the surface electronic structure of the topological insulator $\text{Bi}_2\text{Se}_3$ as a function of water vapor exposure. We find that a surface reaction with water induces a band bending shifting the Dirac point deep into the occupied states and creating quantum well states with a strong Rashba-type splitting. The surface is thus not chemically inert, but the topological state remains protected. The band bending is traced back to Se-abstraction leaving positively charged vacancies at the surface. Due to the presence of water vapor, a similar effect takes place when $\text{Bi}_2\text{Se}_3$ crystals are left in vacuum or cleaved in air, which likely explains the aging effect observed in the $\text{Bi}_2\text{Se}_3$ band structure.

description: We numerically investigate the possibilities of driving quantum algorithms with laser pulses in a register of ultracold NaCs polar molecules in a static electric field. We focuse on the possibilities of performing scalable logical operations by considering circuits that involve intermolecular gates (implemented on adjacent interacting molecules) to enable the transfer of information from one molecule to another during conditional laser-driven population inversions. We study the implementation of an arithmetic operation (the addition of 0 or 1 on a binary digit and a carry in) which requires population inversions only and the Deutsch-Josza algorithm which requires a control of the phases. Under typical experimental conditions, our simulations show that high fidelity logical operations involving several qubits can be performed in a time scale of a few hundred of microseconds, opening promising perspectives for the manipulation of a large number of qubits in these systems.

description: We analyze a large, complex equatorial coronal hole (ECH) and its immediate surroundings with a focus on the roots of the fast solar wind. We start by demonstrating that our ECH is indeed a source of the fast solar wind at 1AU by examining in situ plasma measurements in conjunction with recently developed measures of magnetic conditions of the photosphere, inner heliosphere and the mapping of the solar wind source region. We focus the bulk of our analysis on interpreting the thermal and spatial dependence of the non-thermal line widths in the ECH as measured by SOHO/SUMER by placing the measurements in context with recent studies of ubiquitous Alfven waves in the solar atmosphere and line profile asymmetries (indicative of episodic heating and mass loading of the coronal plasma) that originate in the strong, unipolar magnetic flux concentrations that comprise the supergranular network. The results presented in this paper are consistent with a picture where a significant portion of the energy responsible for the transport of heated mass into the fast solar wind is provided by episodically occurring small-scale events (likely driven by magnetic reconnection) in the upper chromosphere and transition region of the strong magnetic flux regions that comprise the supergranular network.

description: In this paper we investigate the dynamics of liquid crystal textures in a two-dimensional nematic under applied electric fields, using numerical simulations performed using a publicly available LIquid CRystal Algorithm (LICRA) developed by the authors. We consider both positive and negative dielectric anisotropies and two different possibilities for the orientation of the electric field (parallel and perpendicular to the two-dimensional lattice). We determine the effect of an applied electric field pulse on the evolution of the characteristic length scale and other properties of the liquid crystal texture network. In particular, we show that different types of defects are produced after the electric field is switched on, depending on the orientation of the electric field and the sign of the dielectric anisotropy.
