description: Objective: Our goal was to determine if pairing transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with rehabilitation for two weeks could augment adaptive plasticity offered by these residual pathways to elicit longer-lasting improvements in motor function in incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI). Design: Longitudinal, randomized, controlled, double-blinded cohort study. Setting: Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, Ohio, USA. Participants: Eight male subjects with chronic incomplete motor tetraplegia. Interventions: Massed practice (MP) training with or without tDCS for 2 hrs, 5 times a week. Outcome Measures: We assessed neurophysiologic and functional outcomes before, after and three months following intervention. Neurophysiologic measures were collected with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). TMS measures included excitability, representational volume, area and distribution of a weaker and stronger muscle motor map. Functional assessments included a manual muscle test (MMT), upper extremity motor score (UEMS), action research arm test (ARAT) and nine hole peg test (NHPT). Results: We observed that subjects receiving training paired with tDCS had more increased strength of weak proximal (15% vs 10%), wrist (22% vs 10%) and hand (39% vs. 16%) muscles immediately and three months after intervention compared to the sham group. Our observed changes in muscle strength were related to decreases in strong muscle map volume (r=0.851), reduced weak muscle excitability (r=0.808), a more focused weak muscle motor map (r=0.675) and movement of weak muscle motor map (r=0.935). Conclusion: Overall, our results encourage the establishment of larger clinical trials to confirm the potential benefit of pairing tDCS with training to improve the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions for individuals with SCI.

description: Using firmly established experimental inputs such as epsilon_K, Delta M_d, Delta M_s, BR(B -> tau nu), gamma, V_cb along with corresponding lattice matrix elements which have been well studied and are in full QCD such as B_K, SU3 breaking ratio xi, B_Bs and in particular without using V_ub or the pseudoscalar decay constants f_Bd or f_Bs from the latice, we show that the CKM-paradigm now appears to be in serious conflict with the data. Specifically the SM predicted value of sin(2 beta) seems too high compared to direct experimental measured value by over 3 sigma. Furthermore, our studiy shows that new physics predominantly effects B-mixings and B_d -> psi K_s, and not primarily in kaon-mixing or in B -> tau nu. Model independent operator analysis suggests the scale of underlying new physics, accompanied by a BSM CP-odd phase, responsible for breaking of the SM is less than a few TeV, possibly as low as a few hundred GeV. Two possible BSM scenarios, namely warped extra-dimensions and SM with a 4th generation, are briefly discussed. Generic predictions of warped flavor models are briefly discussed. While SM with 4th generation (SM4) is a very simple way to account for the observed anomalies, SM4 is also well motivated due to its potential role in dynamical electrweak symmetery breaking via condensation of heavy quarks and in barygenesis.

Nurses' enactment of equity-promoting practices in the emergency department : a discourse analysis
Creators: name: Slemon, Allie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: In Canadian emergency departments (EDs), there are significant and persistent inequities in the provision of health care, which both reflect and perpetuate structural inequities. Nurses are the largest group of health care providers in the ED and with the nursing profession recognizing equity as a core value, nurses are ideally positioned to remediate structural inequities and promote equity within this setting. However, this potential is hindered by limited empirical research examining how nurses enact equity-promoting practices within everyday work in direct care settings. This Foucauldian discourse analysis explores how discourse shapes nurses’ enactment of equity-promoting practices in the institutional context of the ED. Data were collected through individual interviews (N=33) with nurses, nurse leaders, and other key ED health care providers intersecting with nursing work, as well as nursing professional and institutional texts (N=31) that illuminate how discourse shaped ED nurses’ practices. Findings illustrate that discursive power operated within the ED to facilitate nurses’ practices that upheld dominant discourses and to constrain nurses’ enactment of equity-promoting practices. As such, equity-promoting practices constituted subversive action, with nurses drawing on key contradictory discourses of equity and relational engagement to subvert discursive power. However, persistent tensions between power and equity in the ED institutional context ultimately limited nurses’ potential for promoting equity, which was positioned as optional, a matter of knowledge and awareness as opposed to practice, and outside of core ED nursing work. These findings highlight how intersecting dominant discourses constrained nurses’ enactment of equity-promoting practices within the ED. Further, despite claims of equity as a central guiding principle within the nursing profession, equity was not institutionally or professional positioned as a nursing practice. To remediate inequities in health and health care, equity must be reframed as a dominant discourse, enacted practice, and core competency within the nursing profession and across the health care system. Institutional and educational supports may additionally facilitate and guide nurses’ enactment of equity-promoting practices in complex contexts in which equity is devalued. Further empirical research is needed that examines nurses’ enactment of equity-promoting practices across diverse health care settings and explores institutional strategies for promoting equity.

description: We generalize the result of our recent paper on the massless single off-shell scalar box integral to the case of two non-adjacent end points off the light cone. An analytic result in $d=4-2\varepsilon$ dimensions is established in terms of four Gauss hypergeometric ${_2}\mathrm{F}_1$ functions respectively their single-valued counterparts. This allows for an explicit splitting of real and imaginary parts, as well as an all-order $\varepsilon$-expansion in terms of single-valued polylogarithms.

E-B decomposition of CMB polarization using deep learning
Creators: name: Gulati, Puranjay Rohan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) can be split into two coordinate independent components: the gradient-like E-mode, and the curl-like B-mode. Primordial B-modes are of particular interest as they do not arise from scalar density perturbations and serve as a direct probe of primordial gravitational waves theorized to be generated during inflation. A direct detection of these elusive B-modes would help determine the energy scale of inflation and constrain possible inflationary models. However, the E-B decomposition of polarization on a partial or cut sky is non-unique and introduces modes that cannot conclusively be classified as pure E or B. This is a source of ambiguity for all CMB experiments probing polarization as a Galactic cut is required even for purported full-sky missions, such as the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Planck mission. We present a map-based technique using machine learning (ML) methods to perform this partial sky decomposition. In particular, we use a deep residual convolutional neural network (CNN) based on the U-Net architecture to perform this decomposition on small patches of the sky 400 square degrees in area, allowing the targeting of regions with low Galactic foreground. Our deep residual U-Net performs exceptionally well at angular scales of a few degrees, corresponding to spherical harmonic Fourier modes l (ell) ≃ 50 to 110, a range of scales ideal for probing the recombination bump of the primordial B-mode power spectrum. Additionally, the map-based nature of our technique allows visual inspection of the E-B separation. This may be especially useful for identifying residual Galactic contamination in polarization data.

description: At second order in gradients, conformal relativistic hydrodynamics depends on the viscosity eta and on five additional "second-order" hydrodynamical coefficients tauPi, kappa, lambda1, lambda2, and lambda3. We derive Kubo relations for these coefficients, relating them to equilibrium, fully retarded 3-point correlation functions of the stress tensor. We show that the coefficient lambda3 can be evaluated directly by Euclidean means and does not in general vanish.

description: In arbitrary higher dimension, we consider the combination of Lovelock gravity alongside a scalar-tensor action built out of higher order operators and Euler densities. The latter action is constructed in such a way as to ensure conformal invariance for the scalar field. For the combined version of these theories, we show the existence of black hole solutions interpreted as stealth configurations within Lovelock gravity theory. The scalar field solutions are endowed with an integration constant that may be identified as a scalar charge. In particular, we show that these stealth solutions can be extended to include a time-dependent scalar field despite the underlying theory being non shift-symmetric. Finally, we present a procedure to obtain a non-conformally invariant action in even dimensions from the considered theory. For the target theory, the scalar field is not conformally coupled to gravity although the scalar field equation itself is conformally invariant. By means of this procedure, the black hole stealth configurations are converted into non-stealth black hole solutions, as discovered recently in four dimensions.
Gas lasers with wave-chaotic resonators

description: Semiclassical multimode laser theory is extended to gas lasers with open two-dimensional resonators of arbitrary shape. The Doppler frequency shift of the linear-gain coefficient leads to an additional linear coupling between the modes, which, however, is shown to be negligible. The nonlinear laser equations simplify in the special case of wave-chaotic resonators. In the single-mode regime, the intensity of a chaotic laser, as a function of the mode frequency, displays a local minimum at the frequency of the atomic transition. The width of the minimum scales with the inhomogeneous linewidth, in contrast to the Lamb dip in uniaxial resonators whose width is given by the homogeneous linewidth.

description: Motivated by the experimental measurement of electrical and hall conductivity, thermopower and Nernst effect, we calculate the longitudinal and transverse electrical and heat transport in graphene in the presence of unitary scatterers as well as charged impurities. The temperature and carrier density dependence in this system display a number of anomalous features that arise due to the relativistic nature of the low energy fermionic degrees of freedom. We derive the properties in detail including the effect of unitary and charged impurities self-consistently, and present tables giving the analytic expressions for all the transport properties in the limit of small and large temperature compared to the chemical potential and the scattering rates. We compare our results with the available experimental data. While the qualitative variations with temperature and density of carriers or chemical potential of all transport properties can be reproduced, we find that a given set of parameters of the impurities fits the Hall conductivity, Thermopower and the Nernst effect quantitatively but cannot fit the conductivity quantitatively. On the other hand a single set of parameters for scattering from Coulomb impurities fits conductivity, hall resistance and thermopower but not Nernst.

description: We revisit constraints on decaying very heavy dark matter (VHDM) using the latest ultrahigh-energy cosmic-ray (UHECR; $E\gtrsim 10^{18}$ eV) data and ultrahigh-energy (UHE) $γ$-ray flux upper limits, measured by the Pierre Auger Observatory. We present updated limits on the VHDM lifetime ($τ_χ$) for masses up to $\sim10^{15}$~GeV, considering decay into quarks, leptons, and massive bosons. In particular, we consider not only the UHECR spectrum but their composition data that favors heavier nuclei. Such a combined analysis improves the limits at $\lesssim 10^{12}$ GeV because VHDM decay does not produce UHECR nuclei. We also show that the constraints from the UHE $γ$-ray upper limits are $\sim10$ more stringent than that obtained from cosmic rays, for all of the Standard Model final states we consider. The latter improves our limits to VHDM lifetime by a factor of two for dark matter mass $\gtrsim10^{12}$ GeV.

description: We investigate high-field transport in graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) on SiO2, up to breakdown. The maximum current density is limited by self-heating, but can reach >3 mA/um for GNRs ~15 nm wide. Comparison with larger, micron-sized graphene devices reveals that narrow GNRs benefit from 3D heat spreading into the SiO2, which enables their higher current density. GNRs also benefit from lateral heat flow to the contacts in short devices (< ~0.3 um), which allows extraction of a median GNR thermal conductivity (TC), ~80 W/m/K at 20 C across our samples, dominated by phonons. The TC of GNRs is an order of magnitude lower than that of micron-sized graphene on SiO2, suggesting strong roles of edge and defect scattering, and the importance of thermal dissipation in small GNR devices.

description: We develop a fully data-driven model of anisotropic finite viscoelasticity using neural ordinary differential equations as building blocks. We replace the Helmholtz free energy function and the dissipation potential with data-driven functions that a priori satisfy physics-based constraints such as objectivity and the second law of thermodynamics. Our approach enables modeling viscoelastic behavior of materials under arbitrary loads in three-dimensions even with large deformations and large deviations from the thermodynamic equilibrium. The data-driven nature of the governing potentials endows the model with much needed flexibility in modeling the viscoelastic behavior of a wide class of materials. We train the model using stress-strain data from biological and synthetic materials including humain brain tissue, blood clots, natural rubber and human myocardium and show that the data-driven method outperforms traditional, closed-form models of viscoelasticity.
Superradiance and Phase Multistability in Circuit Quantum Electrodynamics

description: By modeling the coupling of multiple superconducting qubits to a single cavity in the circuit-quantum electrodynamics (QED) framework we find that it should be possible to observe superradiance and phase multistability using currently available technology. Due to the exceptionally large couplings present in circuit-QED we predict that superradiant microwave pulses should be observable with only a very small number of qubits (just three or four), in the presence of energy relaxation and non-uniform qubit-field coupling strengths. This paves the way for circuit-QED implementations of superradiant state readout and decoherence free subspace state encoding in subradiant states. The system considered here also exhibits phase multistability when driven with large field amplitudes, and this effect may have applications for collective qubit readout and for quantum feedback protocols.

Walking the walk : outdoor recreation predicts sustainability actions alongside environmental attitudes, values, and beliefs
Creators: name: Stevens, Colton
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Enabling the expression of existing environmental values is key to meeting international sustainability goals. While much research has addressed the predictors of private actions for sustainability (purchase behavior, recycling, composting, transportation choices), little is known about the different enablers of system-changing or social-signaling actions (including advocacy and activism). And while much psychological research has examined the influence of values, attitudes, and norms on pro-environmental behavior, little is known about the relative influence of a common group of actual practices, e.g., outdoor recreation. In this study, we ask, which factors best predict different kinds of pro-environmental actions? And, what role does participation in outdoor recreation play, beyond the possible shaping of values, attitudes, and ecological worldviews? Here we report on a survey (n=502) of North Americans via the Amazon Mechanical Turk platform and our analysis using multiple linear regression models. Strong common predictors of the pro-environmental actions considered here were participation in appreciative outdoor recreation and attitudes against consumption. Other predictors varied between the private and civic action models. Willingness to pay scenarios revealed that respondents would pay $34 to $38 extra for a hypothetical $200 item of outdoor gear produced by companies that operate under deeply sustainable business practices, and that many respondents would favor legislation that mandated these across the industry, even if this increased costs of goods by 14% ($28 extra for the $200 item) or more. Our study suggests that outdoor recreationists are a prospective source of support for sustainability and that getting people into nature has the potential to cultivate pro-environmental behavior relevant for sparking transformative change.
WaveTrain: A Python Package for Numerical Quantum Mechanics of Chain-Like Systems Based on Tensor Trains

description: WaveTrain is an open-source software for numerical simulations of chain-like quantum systems with nearest-neighbor (NN) interactions only. The Python package is centered around tensor train (TT, or matrix product) format representations of Hamiltonian operators and (stationary or time-evolving) state vectors. It builds on the Python tensor train toolbox Scikit-tt, which provides efficient construction methods and storage schemes for the TT format. Its solvers for eigenvalue problems and linear differential equations are used in WaveTrain for the time-independent and time-dependent Schroedinger equations, respectively. Employing efficient decompositions to construct low-rank representations, the tensor-train ranks of state vectors are often found to depend only marginally on the chain length N. This results in the computational effort growing only slightly more than linearly with N, thus mitigating the curse of dimensionality. As a complement to the classes for full quantum mechanics, WaveTrain also contains classes for fully classical and mixed quantum-classical (Ehrenfest or mean field) dynamics of bipartite systems. The graphical capabilities allow visualization of quantum dynamics on the fly, with a choice of several different representations based on reduced density matrices. Even though developed for treating quasi one-dimensional excitonic energy transport in molecular solids or conjugated organic polymers, including coupling to phonons, WaveTrain can be used for any kind of chain-like quantum systems, with or without periodic boundary conditions, and with NN interactions only.

Improved precision of radial velocity measurements after correction for telluric absorption

description: The detection of planets around other stars by the measurement of the stellar Radial Velocity (RV) variations benefits from improvements of dedicated spectrographs, allowing to achieve a precision of 1 ms$^{-1}$ or better. Spectral intervals within which stellar lines are contaminated by telluric lines are classically excluded from the RV processing. We aim at estimating the potential improvement of telluric absorption removal and subsequent extension of the useful spectral domain on the precision of radial velocity measurements. We developed a correction method based on the on-line web service TAPAS, allowing to determine a synthetic atmospheric transmission spectrum for the time and location of observations. This method was applied to the telluric H$_{2}$O and O$_2$ absorption removal from a series of 200 ESPRESSO consecutive exposures of the K2.5V star HD40307, available in ESO archives. We calculated the radial velocity using the standard Cross-Correlation Function (CCF) method and Gaussian fit of the CCF, with uncorrected spectra and the ESPRESSO standard stellar binary mask on one hand, and telluric-corrected spectra and an augmented binary mask with 696 additional lines on the other hand. We find that the precision of radial velocity measurements is improved in the second case, with a reduction of the average formal error from 1.04 ms$^{-1}$ down to 0.78 ms$^{-1}$ in the case of these ESPRESSO data and this stellar type for the red arm. Using an estimator of the minimal error based on photon noise limit applied to the full CCF, the error is reduced from 0.89 ms$^{-1}$ down to 0.78 ms$^{-1}$. This corresponds to a significant decrease of about 35\% of observing time to reach the same precision in the red part.

description: We reexamine the static and spherical symmetric compact star configuration in the $R^2$ model of the $F(R)$ gravity theory. With asymptotic solutions for the additional scalar degrees of freedom, we refine analysis on the external geometry and settle the scalar-hair problem argued in previous works. Performing the numerical integration of the modified Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equations as a two-boundaries-value problem, we further discuss the scalar-field distribution inside the compact stars and its influence on the mass-radius relation. We show that the chameleon potential plays an essential role in determining the scalar-field profile inside the star. The scalar field often behaves as a quintessential field that effectively decreases the mass of compact stars with lower central energy density.

description: Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been extensively used in microplastic (MP) pollution research since 2004. The aim of this review is to discuss and highlight the recent advances in FTIR (spectroscopy and chemical imaging) techniques that are used to characterize various polymer types of MPs and to trace their fate and transport in different environmental matrices. More than 400 research papers dealing with FTIR techniques in MP pollution research, which are published between January 2010 and December 2019, have been identified from the Scopus and Web of Science databases. The MPs present in sediment, water (marine and freshwater), biota, air/dust, waste water treatment plants and salt are further classified according to (1) characterization and identification, (2) weathering and aging, (3) ecotoxicology, and (4) analytical methods. The results revealed that the ATR-FTIR technique is mostly used to identify and characterize the MPs found in water and sediment. The µFTIR (FTIR imaging) is extensively used to study the ingestion of MPs in biota (both marine and freshwater). In this article, we have summarized the current knowledge of application of FTIR spectroscopy to MP research and provided insights to future challenges for understanding the risk of MPs.

description: We discuss thermodynamical stability for hairy black hole spacetimes, viewed as defects in the thermodynamical parameter space, taking into account the backreaction of a secondary hair onto the spacetime geometry, which is modified non trivially. We derive, in a model independent way, the conditions for the hairy black hole with the secondary hair to reach a stable thermal equilibrium with the heat bath. Specifically, if the scalar hair, induced by interactions of the matter fields with quadratic-curvature corrections, produces an inner horizon in the deformed geometry, a thermodynamically stable configuration will be reached with the black hole becoming extremal in its final stage. We also attempt to make some conjectures concerning the implications of this thermal stability for the existence of a minimum length in a quantum space time.
