Demographic, health history, and lifestyle factors in association with biomarkers of colorectal cancer prognosis : a pilot study
Creators: name: Zanif, Umaimah Nikhat
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Background/Objectives: Demographic, health history, and lifestyle factors have been associated with prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC), but the mechanisms underlying these associations remain poorly understood. Our primary objective was to explore the association of these factors with expression of two biomarkers in CRC, SPARC and PD-L1, for which lower and higher levels of expression, respectively, have been associated with poorer CRC prognosis. Methods: Participants were drawn from the British Columbia Generations Project (BCGP), who at time of recruitment, provided data on various demographic, health history, and lifestyle factors. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded blocks were obtained for 49 incident BCGP CRC cases and used to create tissue microarrays. Slides created from the microarrays were stained with SPARC and PD-L1 antibodies and analyzed to calculate H-scores as measures of expression in both epithelial and non-epithelial tissues. Linear regression analyses were used to evaluate associations between the various factors and ln-transformed H-scores. Results: In CRC tumour epithelium, smoking was associated with a 0.53-fold lower level of SPARC expression (p=0.05); a similar though non-significant, association was observed in non-epithelial tumour tissue. Higher income was associated with a 1.33-fold greater level of SPARC expression in tumor non-epithelial tissue (p=0.04); a similar effect was not observed in tumour epithelium. Higher stage was associated with a 0.74-fold lower level of non-epithelial tumour SPARC expression (p=0.04). A similar non-significant effect was observed in tumour epithelium. PD-L1 expression in tumour epithelium was 2.84-fold greater among females (p=0.005). A similar non-significant effect was observed in tumour non-epithelial tissue. History of CRC screening was statistically significantly associated with 2-fold greater levels of PD-L1 expression in tumour epithelial and non-epithelial tissues (p=0.04). Conclusion: Associations of SPARC expression with smoking, income, and stage, but not PD-L1 expression with biological sex and history of CRC screening, were consistent with the previously established associations of these factors with CRC prognosis. Larger scale studies with prognostic data are needed, but our results suggest that differences in expression of SPARC may contribute to the previously observed impacts of factors on CRC prognosis. However, additional work to understand the role of PD-L1 in CRC prognosis is needed.

description: We present extensive, high-density Swift observations of V2491 Cyg (Nova Cyg 2008 No. 2). Observing the X-ray emission from only one day after the nova discovery, the source is followed through the initial brightening, the Super-Soft Source phase and back to the pre-outburst flux level. The evolution of the spectrum throughout the outburst is demonstrated. The UV and X-ray light-curves follow very different paths, although changes occur in them around the same times, indicating a link between the bands. Flickering in the late-time X-ray data indicates the resumption of accretion. We show that if the white dwarf is magnetic, it would be among the most magnetic known; the lack of a periodic signal in our later data argues against a magnetic white dwarf, however. We also discuss the possibility that V2491 Cyg is a recurrent nova, providing recurrence timescale estimates.

description: We study fracture processes within a stochastic fiber-bundle model where it is assumed that after the failure of a fiber, each intact fiber obtains a random fraction of the failing load. Within a Markov approximation, the breakdown properties of this model can be reduced to the solution of an integral equation. As examples we consider two different versions of this model that both can interpolate between global and local load redistribution. For the strength thresholds of the individual fibers, we consider a Weibull distribution and a uniform distribution, both truncated below a given initial stress. The breakdown behavior of our models is compared with corresponding results of other fiber-bundle models.

description: Time-of-flight neutron powder diffraction and specific heat measurements were used to study the nature of thermal expansion in rhenium trioxide, an electrically conducting oxide with cubic symmetry. The temperature evolution of the lattice parameters show that ReO3 can exhibit negative thermal expansion at low temperatures and that the transition from negative to positive thermal expansion depends on sample preparation; the single crystal sample demonstrated the highest transition temperature, 300 K, and largest negative value for the coefficient of thermal expansion, alpha = -1.1(1)x 10^-6 K^-1. For the oxygen atoms, the atomic displacement parameters are strongly anisotropic even at 15 K, indicative of a large contribution of static disorder to the displacement parameters. Further inspection of the temperature evolution of the oxygen displacement parameters for different samples reveals that the static disorder contribution is greater for the samples with diminished NTE behavior. In addition, specific heat measurements show that ReO3 lacks the low energy Einstein-type modes seen in other negative thermal expansion oxides such as ZrW2O8.

description: We present the analytical solution in closed form for the semiclassical limit of the quantum mechanical Coulomb Green function in position space in n dimensions. We utilize a projection method which has its roots in Lambert's theorem and which allows us to treat the system as an essentially one dimensional problem. The semiclassical result assumes a simple analytical form and is well suited for a numerical evaluation. The method can also be extended to classically forbidden space regions. Already for moderately large principal quantum numbers nu >= 5, the semiclassical Green function is found to be an excellent approximation to the quantum mechanical Green function.

description: Accumulation of electrical charge on the end mirrors of gravitational wave observatories, such as the space-based LISA mission and ground-based LIGO detectors, can become a source of noise limiting the sensitivity of such detectors through electronic couplings to nearby surfaces. Torsion balances provide an ideal means for testing gravitational wave technologies due to their high sensitivity to small forces. Our torsion pendulum apparatus consists of a movable Au-coated Cu plate brought near a Au-coated Si plate pendulum suspended from a non-conducting quartz fiber. A UV LED located near the pendulum photoejects electrons from the surface, and a UV LED driven electron gun directs photoelectrons towards the pendulum surface. We have demonstrated both charging and discharging of the pendulum with equivalent charging rates of $\sim$$10^5 e/\mathrm{s}$, as well as spectral measurements of the pendulum charge resulting in a white noise level equivalent to $3\times10^5 e/\sqrt{Hz}$.

Improving agricultural phosphorus management to reduce environmental loss in high phosphorus soils in the Fraser Valley, British Columbia
Creators: name: Nyamaizi, Sylvia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Soil phosphorus (P) has reached environmentally concerning levels in the Fraser Valley, one of the most intensively farmed areas of British Columbia (BC), due to the repeated, excess application of P as manure and mineral fertilizers. To help address the potential risk of P losses to aquatic ecosystems, it is crucial to account for both crop production and environmental protection objectives. In this dissertation, I aimed to develop strategies and tools to improve P management and monitor environmental P risks associated with agricultural land with high soil test P (STP) in the Fraser Valley. Two-year field trials were established in eight sites in 2020 and 2021 to investigate the effects of increasing starter P rates on silage corn growth and phosphate availability during the growing season. Results showed that starter fertilizer P, at any application rate, in high-P manured soils does not improve silage corn yield; farmers applying manure at ploughing in soils with high P concentrations can reduce or eliminate starter fertilizer P without impacting silage corn yields, decreasing the reliance on off-farm P inputs and reducing potential P loss to the environment. This research also investigated how increasing soil pH with lime could affect agri-environmental P risk indicators and P sorption characteristics. Increasing soil pH with lime did not affect the degree of P saturation (DPS), and P saturation index (PSI) but showed decreasing trends of Mehlich-3 extractable P and water extractable P (Pw) concentrations even though the extent was only significant for Pw in soils with initial pH = 5.8, indicating a reduced risk of P loss when soils are limed. I used the results of these two studies to develop a tool for monitoring environmental P risk by identifying four specific environmental P risk classes, namely low, moderate, high, and very high with the moderate PSI and Pw limits = 6.6-10.8% and 2.2-4.1 mg kg⁻¹, respectively. This dissertation contributes to our understanding and application of P risk indicators to quantify and monitor the risk of P loss to improve fertilizer and manure management in high P-affected areas of the Fraser Valley.

The entanglement of few-particle systems when using the local-density approximation

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Other Condensed Matter (cond-mat.other)

description: In this chapter we discuss methods to calculate the entanglement of a system using density-functional theory. We firstly introduce density-functional theory and the local-density approximation (LDA). We then discuss the concept of the `interacting LDA system'. This is characterised by an interacting many-body Hamiltonian which reproduces, uniquely and exactly, the ground state density obtained from the single-particle Kohn-Sham equations of density-functional theory when the local-density approximation is used. We motivate why this idea can be useful for appraising the local-density approximation in many-body physics particularly with regards to entanglement and related quantum information applications. Using an iterative scheme, we find the Hamiltonian characterising the interacting LDA system in relation to the test systems of Hooke's atom and helium-like atoms. The interacting LDA system ground state wavefunction is then used to calculate the spatial entanglement and the results are compared and contrasted with the exact entanglement for the two test systems. For Hooke's atom we also compare the entanglement to our previous estimates of an LDA entanglement. These were obtained using a combination of evolutionary algorithm and gradient descent, and using an LDA-based perturbative approach. We finally discuss if the position-space information entropy of the density---which can be obtained directly from the system density and hence easily from density-functional theory methods---can be considered as a proxy measure for the spatial entanglement for the test systems.

description: Low temperature specific heat (SH) was measured on the FeAs-based superconducting single crystals Ba$_{0.6}$K$_{0.4}$Fe$_2$As$_2$ and high pressure synthesized polycrystalline samples SmFeAsO$_{0.9}$F$_{0.1}$. It is found that the sharp SH anomaly $ΔC/T|_{T_c}$ in Ba$_{0.6}$K$_{0.4}$Fe$_2$As$_2$ reaches an unexpected high value of 98 mJ/mol K$^2$, about one order of magnitude larger than that of SmFeAsO$_{0.9}$F$_{0.1}$ ($6\sim8$ mJ/mol K$^2$) samples, suggesting very high normal state quasiparticle density of states in FeAs-122 than in FeAs-1111. Furthermore, we found that the electronic SH coefficient $γ_e(T)$ of Ba$_{0.6}$K$_{0.4}$Fe$_2$As$_2$ is weakly temperature dependent and increases almost linearly with the magnetic field in low temperature region, which may indicate that the hole-doped FeAs-122 system contains a dominant component with a full superconducting gap, although we cannot rule out the possibility of a small component with anisotropic or nodal gap. A detailed analysis reveals that the $γ_e(T)$ of Ba$_{0.6}$K$_{0.4}$Fe$_2$As$_2$ cannot be fitted with a single gap of s-wave symmetry probably due to the multigap effect. These results indicate clear difference between the properties of the superconducting state of the holed-doped Ba$_{0.6}$K$_{0.4}$Fe$_2$As$_2$ and the F-doped LnFeAsO (Ln = rare earth elements) systems, which we believe is originated from the complex Fermi surface structures in different systems.

description: We analyse a system in which, due to entanglement between the spin and spatial degrees of freedom, the reduced transmitted state has the shape of the freely propagating pulse translated in the complex co-ordinate plane. In the case an apparently "superluminal" advancement of the pulse the delay amplitude distribution is found to be a peculiar approximation to the Dirac delta-function, and the transmission coefficient exhibits a well-defined super-oscillatory window. Analogies with potential tunnelling and the Wheeler's delayed choice experiment are highlighted.

description: In ordinary semiconductor bilayers, exciton condensates appear at total Landau level filling factor $ν_{T}=1$. We predict that similar states will occur in Bernal stacked graphene bilayers at many non-zero integer filling factors. For $ν_{T} = -3,1$ we find that the superfluid density of the exciton condensate vanishes and that a finite-temperature fluctuation induced first order isotropic-smectic phase transition occurs when the layer densities are not balanced. These anomalous properties of bilayer graphene exciton condensates are due to the degeneracy of Landau levels with $n=0$ and $n=1$ orbital character.

description: Force-free magnetic fields are important in many astrophysical settings. Determining the properties of such force-free fields -- especially smoothness and stability properties -- is crucial to understanding many key phenomena in astrophysical plasmas, for example energy release processes that heat the plasma and lead to dynamic or explosive events. Here we report on a serious limitation on the computation of force-free fields that has the potential to invalidate the results produced by numerical force-free field solvers even for cases in which they appear to converge (at fixed grid resolution) to an equilibrium magnetic field. In the present work we discuss this problem within the context of a Lagrangian relaxation scheme that conserves magnetic flux and div(B) identically. Error estimates are introduced to assess the quality of the calculated equilibrium. We go on to present an algorithm, based on re-writing the curl operation via Stokes' theorem, for calculating the current which holds great promise for improving dramatically the accuracy of the Lagrangian relaxation procedure.

description: In the 300th anniversary of Hans Egede’s arrival in Greenland as a missionary, his work is described from a new angle, as two of his important writings from 1737 are analyzed in order to demonstrate his understanding of mission in his mature years. After his return from Greenland in 1736, the missionary work was still on his mind, and his account of the history of the first years in Greenland reflected his understanding of the situation and his wishes for the future in 1737: Greenland was described as a country with good economic opportunities, and it was an old Norwegian country where the king ought to do mission work, so that Greenland could become a Christian part of the kingdom with a nationwide Lutheran church that provided teaching and sacraments to everybody. The Greenlanders were described in a positive way as receptive to the Christian message, and the mission work had to take place in their own language, so Greenlanders was to be trained to be able to serve in the church. Other incidents in his years in Greenland were overlooked in Egede’s historiography as they did not seem to promote the future of his mission work: there was no criticism of the competing Moravians, no criticism of other Christian denominations, and no particular criticism of the role of the king and the trading companies.

description: In this work, we calculate the self-similar longitudinal velocity correlation function and the statistical properties of velocity difference using the results of the Lyapunov analysis of the fully developed isotropic homogeneous turbulence just presented by the author in a previous work (arXiv:0911.1463). There, a closure of the von Karman-Howarth equation is proposed and the statistics of velocity difference is determined through a specific analysis of the Fourier-transformed Navier-Stokes equations. The correlation functions correspond to steady-state solutions of the von Karman-Howarth equation under the self-similarity hypothesis introduced by von Karman. These solutions are numerically determined with the statistics of velocity difference. The obtained results adequately describe the several properties of the fully developed isotropic turbulence.

description: We discuss the tunneling spectroscopy at a surface in multi-band systems such as Fe-based superconductors with the use of the quasiclassical approach. We extend the single-band method by Matsumoto and Shiba [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 64, 1703 (1995)] into $n$-band systems ($n \geq 2$). We show that the appearance condition of the zero-bias conductance peak does not depend on details of the pair-potential anisotropy, but it depends on details of the normal state properties in the case of fully-gapped superconductors. The surface density of states in a two-band superconductor is presented as a simplest application. The quasiclassical approach enables us to calculate readily the surface-angular dependence of the tunneling spectroscopy.

Our models of 1.35 \pm 0.02 M_\sun WD reproduce simultaneously the optical and UV 1455 Åobservations. The mass lost by the wind is ΔM_{wind} \sim 2 \times 10^{-6} M_\sun. We provide new determinations of the reddening, E(B-V) = 0.53 \pm 0.05, and of the distance, 2.7 \pm 0.5 kpc.

Role of magnetic doping in topological HgTe and application of the Gram-Schmidt method for computing impurity states in quantum wells

description: The quantum spin Hall effect in non-magnetic and Mn-doped HgTe quantum well is strongly affected by Kondo scattering of edge electrons by holes localized on acceptors. A generalized eigenvalue method is usually employed for determining impurity binding energies from the multiband Kohn-Luttinger Hamiltonians in bulk samples and semiconductor quantum structures. Such an approach provides accurate values of the level positions but its applicability for determining the impurity localization radius can be questioned. As an alternative method we propose here the Gram-Schmidt ortogonalization procedure allowing to employ the standard eigenvalue algorithms and, thus, to determine both impurity level energies and the set of normalized eigenvectors. We apply this approach to singly-ionized acceptor states in HgTe quantum wells and obtain impurity level energies and localization radiuses even for states degenerate with the continuum of band states. Such information allows us to assess the energy of bound magnetic polarons in quantum wells doped with magnetic ions. We determine the polaron energies and discuss consequences of the resonant polaron formation on band transport in the bulk samples and quantum wells in the regimes of quantum Hall effects.

description: Given a cake in form of a triangle and a box that fits the mirror image of the cake, how to cut the cake into a minimal number of pieces so that it can be put into the box? The cake has an icing, so that we are not allowed to put it into the box upside down. V.G. Boltyansky asked this question in 1977 and showed that three pieces always suffice. In this paper we provide examples of cakes that cannot be cut into two pieces to put into the box. This shows that three is the answer to V.G. Boltyansky's question. Also we give examples of cakes which can be cut into two pieces.

description: We report molecular dynamics simulations of a gel-forming mixture of ellipsoidal patchy particles with different functionality. We show that in this model, which disfavors the formation of bond-loops, elapsed time during irreversible aggregation -- leading to the formation of an extended network -- can be formally correlated with equilibrium temperature in reversible aggregation. We also show that it is possible to develop a parameter-free description of the self-assembly kinetics, bringing reversible and irreversible aggregation of loopless branched systems to the same level of understanding as equilibrium polymerization.

description: We use functional integral methods for an estimate of the three-body loss in a three-component $^6$Li ultracold atom gas. We advocate a simple picture where the loss proceeds by the formation of a three-atom bound state, the trion. In turn, the effective amplitude for the trion formation from three atoms is estimated from a simple effective boson exchange process. The energy gap of the trion and other key quantities for the loss coefficient are computed in a functional renormalization group framework.

description: In this paper we present efficient algorithmic solutions for several constrained resource allocation, management and discovery problems. We consider new types of resource allocation models and constraints, and we present new geometric techniques which are useful when the resources are mapped to points into a multidimensional feature space. We also consider a resource discovery problem for which we present a guessing game theoretical model.

description: We consider the conditional galaxy density around each galaxy, and study its fluctuations in the newest samples of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7. Over a large range of scales, both the average conditional density and its variance show a nontrivial scaling behavior, which resembles to criticality. The density depends, for 10 < r < 80 Mpc/h, only weakly (logarithmically) on the system size. Correspondingly, we find that the density fluctuations follow the Gumbel distribution of extreme value statistics. This distribution is clearly distinguishable from a Gaussian distribution, which would arise for a homogeneous spatial galaxy configuration. We also point out similarities between the galaxy distribution and critical systems of statistical physics.

description: We study the extended supersymmetric quantum mechanics, with supercharges transforming in the fundamental representation of U(N|M), as realized in certain one-dimensional nonlinear sigma models with Kaehler manifolds as target space. We discuss the symmetry algebra characterizing these models and, using operatorial methods, compute the heat kernel in the limit of short propagation time. These models are relevant for studying the quantum properties of a certain class of higher spin field equations in first quantization.

description: (Abridged)Motivated by the recent results of Hansen et al. (2008) concerning a noticeable hemispherical power asymmetry in the WMAP data on small angular scales, we revisit the dipole modulated signal model introduced by Gordon et al. (2005). This model assumes that the true CMB signal consists of a Gaussian isotropic random field modulated by a dipole, and is characterized by an overall modulation amplitude, A, and a preferred direction, p. Previous analyses of this model has been restricted to very low resolution due to computational cost. In this paper, we double the angular resolution, and compute the full corresponding posterior distribution for the 5-year WMAP data. The results from our analysis are the following: The best-fit modulation amplitude for l <= 64 and the ILC data with the WMAP KQ85 sky cut is A=0.072 +/- 0.022, non-zero at 3.3sigma, and the preferred direction points toward Galactic coordinates (l,b) = (224 degree, -22 degree) +/- 24 degree. The corresponding results for l

On the Missiology of Fredrik Franson in the Context of his Eschatology, Missionary Methods and Transnational Networking
Creators: name: Reifler, Hans Ulrich
Publisher: name: Norwegian Journal of Missiology
Year: 2020

description: Fredrik Franson (1852-1908), a dual citizen of Sweden and the USA, was an international revival evangelist, mission founder and mobiliser of the Holiness Movement during the last quarter of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Within 22 years he strongly influenced the founding of thirteen faith missions, six church federations in Europe, North America and Armenia and several independent churches in the USA, New Zealand and Australia. This article focuses on the missiology of Franson, starting with a short overview on Franson’s life and work, followed by a presentation of his eschatology, missionary methods and transnational networking.

Språk og etnisitet
Creators: name: Küspert, Klaus-Christian
Publisher: name: Norwegian Journal of Missiology

description: This paper examines the work of the Norwegian Mission Society amongst the Gumuz people in Ethiopia from the perspective of linguistic and cultural sensitivity. The Norwegian missionaries were called to Ethiopia in 1970 by the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus (EECMY), to work with the indigenous Gumuz population in Western Ethiopian lowlands. Despite a chal-lenging relationship to a church dominated by the majority population of the area, the Oromo, and despite changing regimes and governmental restrictions on language and evangelism work, the results of the Gumuz mission are remarkable, achieved through the presence of strong and committed missionaries. However, the NMS never developed a conclusive strategy for this work which takes the importance of linguistic and cultural factors into consideration. For a long time, no efforts for scripture translation were made and no strategies for the proclamation of the gospel in mother tongue were formulated. The ethnically based power relations in the church were never challenged. In recent times NMS has strengthened its focus, but the practical implementation is threatened due to ecclesiastical and political circumstances in Ethiopia as well as little consistent priorities from the mission organisation.

description: We have successfully synthesized the fluoride-arsenide compounds Ca$_{1-x}$RE$_x$FeAsF (RE=Nd, Pr; x=0, 0.6). The x-ray powder diffraction confirmed that the main phases of our samples are Ca$_{1-x}$RE$_x$FeAsF with the ZrCuSiAs structure. By measuring resistivity, superconductivity was observed at 57.4 K in Nd-doped and 52.8 K in Pr-doped samples with x=0.6. Bulk superconductivity was also proved by the DC magnetization measurements in both samples. Hall effect measurements revealed hole-like charge carriers in the parent compound CaFeAsF with a clear resistivity anomaly below 118 K, while the Hall coefficient $R_H$ in the normal state is negative for the superconducting samples Ca$_{0.4}$Nd$_{0.6}$FeAsF and Ca$_{0.4}$Pr$_{0.6}$FeAsF. This indicates that the rare earth element doping introduces electrons into CaFeAsF which induces the high temperature superconductivity.

description: The Norwegian Church Ministry to Israel (NCMI, est. 1844) was one of the first organisations devoted to working with Jews. In the first 100 years NCMI primarily worked with Jews in Hungary and Romania. Today the work is focused on Jews living in Israel. By tracing the history of NCMI there are strong impulses of philo-judaism and spiritual restorationism of Israel, but examples of anti-judaism, anti-Semittism and physical restorationism of Israel are also seen. !e article argues that allo-semittism – seeing Jews as others – can also be a relevant lense through with the work can be understood historically, but equally important is how to make friends with Jews. The article finds that the personalrelationships, the cooperation in the humanitarian organisation Help Jews Home, as well as overlapping positions on fighting anti-judaism and anti-semittism, and standing with the modern state of Israel, explain the mututal sympathies between NCMI and the Jewish Community of Oslo. There are, however, strong and irreconcilable disagreements regarding missionary activities, undertaken by Christians or Messianic Jews.
