Unveiling the evolution of a galaxy hosting a hyper-luminous quasar at redshift 2
Creators: name: Burgoyne, James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Quasi-stellar objects (QSOs) are a rare class of extremely luminous and distant active galactic nuclei (AGN) that emit intense radiation across a broad range of the electromagnetic spectrum. They are thought to be powered by the accretion of large amounts of gas onto supermassive black holes residing at the centres of their host galaxies. The prodigious amount of energy released by QSOs during their accretion phase can shape the evolution of the host galaxy by heating and ionizing the surrounding gas, triggering the formation of stars, and expelling gas from the galaxy’s disk, among other processes. The interplay between QSOs and their host galaxies is complex and not well understood, with evidence of both positive and negative feedback mechanisms. Here we report IRAM-NOEMA spectroscopy and JCMT SCUBA-2 continuum photometry of the distant hyper-luminous QSO Q2343+125 at z = 2.577. In total 10 lines are detected, including CO J = 3–2 through J = 8–7, an H₂O rotational line, both [CI] fine-structure lines, and OH+ 1₀ − 0₁. The CO-to-continuum luminosity ratio is 5 times larger than the mean submillimetre galaxies, and 3 times higher even than in the local example of such an excess, NGC 6240. Similar to NGC 6240, Q2343+125 has an elevated line-to-continuum ratio, indicative of shocks; however it also shows evidence of increased ionization paths more similar to Mrk 231, suggestive of an X-ray dominated region (XDR) as is typically found near active galactic nuclei. Confoundingly, Q2343+125 does not show elevated high-J CO rotational transitions, which is expected in both XDR and shock dominated systems. Q2343+125 may be providing us a snapshot into an extremely brief (∼ 1 Myr) post-merger period of massive galaxy evolution.

The D4-D8 brane model, proposed by Sakai and Sugimoto, is a holographic dual of a semi-realistic strongly coupled large N_c QCD since it breaks supersymmetry and incorporates chiral symmetry breaking. We analyze the vector meson wave functions and Regge trajectories as well.

description: [Abridged] When WFC3 is installed on HST, the community will have powerful new tools for investigating resolved stellar populations. The WFC3 Galactic Bulge Treasury program will obtain deep imaging on 4 low-extinction fields. These non-proprietary data will enable a variety of science investigations not possible with previous data sets. To aid in planning for the use of these data and for future proposals, we provide an introduction to the program, its photometric system, and the associated calibration effort. The observing strategy is based upon a new 5-band photometric system spanning the UV, optical, and near-infrared. With these broad bands, one can construct reddening-free indices of Teff and [Fe/H]. Besides the 4 bulge fields, the program will target 6 fields in well-studied star clusters, spanning a wide range of [Fe/H]. The cluster data serve to calibrate the indices, provide population templates, and correct the transformation of isochrones into the WFC3 photometric system. The bulge data will shed light on the bulge formation history, and will also serve as population templates for other studies. One of the fields includes 12 candidate hosts of extrasolar planets. CMDs are the most popular tool for analyzing resolved stellar populations. However, due to degeneracies among Teff, [Fe/H], and reddening in traditional CMDs, it can be difficult to draw robust conclusions from the data. The 5-band system used for the bulge Treasury observations will provide indices that are roughly orthogonal in Teff and [Fe/H], and we argue that model fitting in an index-index diagram will make better use of the information than fitting separate CMDs. We provide simulations to show the expected data quality and the potential for differentiating between different star-formation histories.

description: Several authors have shown that precise measurements of transit time variations of exoplanets can be sensitive to other planetary bodies, such as exo-moons. In addition, the transit timing variations of the exoplanets closest to their host stars can provide tests of tidal dissipation theory. These studies, however, have not considered the effect of the host star. There is a large body of observational evidence that eclipse times of binary stars can vary dramatically due to variations in the quadrupole moment of the stars driven by stellar activity. In this paper we investigate and estimate the likely impact such variations have on the transit times of exoplanets. We find in several cases that such variations should be detectable. In particular, the estimated period changes for WASP-18b are of the same order as those expected for tidal dissipation, even for relatively low values of the tidal dissipation parameter. The transit time variations caused by the Applegate mechanism are also of the correct magnitude and occur on timescales such that they may be confused with variations caused by light-time travel effects due to the presence of a Jupiter-like second planet. Finally, we suggest that transiting exoplanet systems may provide a clean route (compared to binaries) to constraining the type of dynamo operating in the host star.

description: Globular star clusters are compact and massive stellar systems old enough to have witnessed the entire history of our Galaxy, the Milky Way. Although recent results suggest that their formation may have been more complex than previously thought, they still are the best approximation to a stellar population formed over a relatively short time scale (less than 1 Gyr) and with virtually no dispersion in the iron content. Indeed, only one cluster-like system (omega Centauri) in the Galactic halo is known to have multiple stellar populations with a significant spread in iron abundance and age4,5. Similar findings in the Galactic bulge have been hampered by the obscuration arising from thick and varying layers of interstellar dust. Here we report that Terzan 5, a globular-cluster-like system in the Galactic bulge, has two stellar populations with different iron content and ages. Terzan 5 could be the surviving remnant of one of the primordial building blocks that are thought to merge and form galaxy bulges.

description: We prove that a diagrammatic evaluation of the Kubo formula for the electronic transport conductivity due the exchange of bosonic excitations, in the usual conserving ladder approximation, yields a result consistent with the Boltzmann equation. In particular, we show that an uncontrolled approximation that has been used to solve the integral equation for the vertex function is unnecessary. An exact solution of the integral equation yields the same asymptotic low-temperature behavior as the approximate one, albeit with a different prefactor, and agrees with the temperature dependence of the Boltzmann solution. Examples considered are electron scattering from acoustic phonons, and from helimagnons in helimagnets.

description: A density-matrix formalism which includes the effects of three-body ground- state correlations is applied to the standard Lipkin model. The reason to consider the complicated three-body correlations is that the truncation scheme of reduced density matrices up to the two-body level does not give satisfactory results to the standard Lipkin model. It is shown that inclusion of the three-body correlations drastically improves the properties of the ground states and excited states. It is pointed out that lack of mean-field effects in the standard Lipkin model enhances the relative importance of the three-body ground-state correlations. Formal aspects of the density-matrix formalism such as a relation to the variational principle and the stability condition of the ground state are also discussed. It is pointed out that the three-body ground-state correlations are necessary to satisfy the stability condition.

description: Excerpts from the report Introduction: In this report are summarized the changes that took place on commercial family-operated dairy farms in the central northeast specialized dairy area from 1930 to 1951. Among other things discussed are changes in size of business, farm organization, production, value of investment, receipts, expenses, and net returns to farm operators. This study of costs and returns by type and size of farm in a particular type-of-farming area provides information that may be used by farmers and others in formulating farm plans and agricultural programs. It yields financial information that will be of value to prospective farm owners and to farm-loan agencies as well. It shows how the average farm of this type has changed in size since 1930 and how these changes in size, together with changing technology and economic conditions, have affected average returns to operators of such farms. It indicates the average income of representative farm operators in 1930 and in each subsequent year. Thus the twofold purpose of the report is (1) to present the significant aspects of the current situation, and (2) to show the noteworthy changes that have taken place with the passage of time on dairy farms in the Northeast.

description: This article presents new empirical insights into what people do with conspiracy theories during crises. By suppressing the impulse to distinguish between truth and falsehood, which has characterized most scholarship on the COVID-19 “infodemic,” and engaging with claims surrounding two popular COVID-19 conspiracies—on 5G and on Bill Gates—in South Africa and Nigeria, we illustrate how conspiracies morph as they interact with different socio-political contexts. Drawing on a mixed-method analysis of more than 6 million tweets, we examine how, in each country, conspiracies have uniquely intersected with longer-term discourses and political projects. In Nigeria, the two conspiracies were both seized as opportunities to extend criticism to the ruling party. In South Africa, they produced distinctive responses: while the 5G conspiracy had limited buy-in, the Gates conspiracy resonated with deep-rooted resentment toward the West, corporate interests, and what is seen as a paternalistic attitude of some external actors toward Africa. These findings stress the importance of taking conspiracy theories seriously, rather than dismissing them simply as negative externalities of digital ecosystems. Situating conspiracies in specific dynamics of trust and mistrust can make an important difference when designing responses that are not limited to broadcasting truthful information, but can also enable interventions that account for deeply rooted sentiments of suspicion toward specific issues and actors, which can vary significantly across communities.
Epigenetic signatures of developmental psychopathology : time-varying associations of general psychopathology across childhood and adolescence with late adolescent DNA methylation
Creators: name: Separovic, Lea
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Psychopathology is known to fluctuate throughout childhood and adolescence, in association with a variety of intrinsic (e.g., genetic) and extrinsic (e.g., environmental) factors. DNA methylation (DNAm) is a commonly studied epigenetic modification that can reflect the interplay between genetics and environments. DNAm is a stable, reversible mark added onto DNA that can regulate gene expression and may serve as a biomarker of psychopathology. Many studies have identified links between DNAm and childhood and adolescent psychopathology, but most have been limited by assessing narrow timeframes. The present study harnessed a wealth of longitudinal data from a community-based cohort of children in Wisconsin (n=170) to examine the General Psychopathology Factor (GPF) – a broad construct capturing shared variance between psychiatric symptoms – across childhood and adolescence, in relation to DNAm from buccal epithelial cells collected at age 18. To determine which GPF timepoint (of 7 timepoints across age 9-18) or GPF trajectory (of 5 derived trajectory measures) provided the best explanation of age 18 DNAm patterns, a two-phase comparative statistical approach was employed, consisting of screening measures for high-dimensional data and the Structured Life-Course Modelling Approach (SLCMA). The SLCMA identified which GPF measure explained the most DNAm variation at 298,415 methylation sites (CpGs). At 12,910 CpGs, the selected GPF measure explained more DNAm variation than expected by chance (R² > 3.7%). After multiple test correction, 486 medium-confidence (Padjusted < 0.20), and 10 high-confidence (Padjusted < 0.05) associations remained. Age 16 GPF was the most frequently selected timepoint; worsening GPF was the most frequently selected trajectory. This suggested that adolescent psychopathology was potentially particularly reflective of adolescent biological patterns, highlighting a timeframe for investigation if longitudinal data are unavailable. Additionally, worsening mental health across childhood and adolescence, regardless of the degree of worsening, seemed particularly salient for biological embedding. Overall, this study demonstrated the application of a two-phase approach for comparative longitudinal analyses, and these findings highlighted time-varying associations between developmental psychopathology and DNAm, illustrating the degree to which trajectory- and age-specific GPF was reflected biologically. Future research should explore this in larger and more diverse samples, and examine potential windows for intervention and prevention.

description: The major assumption of the Lorentz-Lorenz theory about uniformity of local fields and atomic polarization in dense material does not hold in finite groups of atoms, as we reported earlier [A. E. Kaplan and S. N. Volkov, Phys. Rev. Lett., v. 101, 133902 (2008)]. The uniformity is broken at sub-wavelength scale, where the system may exhibit strong stratification of local field and dipole polarization, with the strata period being much shorter than the incident wavelength. In this paper, we further develop and advance that theory for the most fundamental case of one-dimensional arrays, and study nanoscale excitation of so called "locsitons" and their standing waves (strata) that result in size-related resonances and related large field enhancement in finite arrays of atoms. The locsitons may have a whole spectrum of spatial frequencies, ranging from long waves, to an extent reminiscent of ferromagnetic domains, -- to super-short waves, with neighboring atoms alternating their polarizations, which are reminiscent of antiferromagnetic spin patterns. Of great interest is the new kind of "hybrid" modes of excitation, greatly departing from any magnetic analogies. We also study differences between Ising-like near-neighbor approximation and the case where each atom interacts with all other atoms in the array. We find an infinite number of "exponential eigenmodes" in the lossless system in the latter case. At certain "magic" numbers of atoms in the array, the system may exhibit self-induced (but linear in the field) cancellation of resonant local-field suppression. We also studied nonlinear modes of locsitons and found optical bistability and hysteresis in an infinite array for the simplest modes.

description: We identify the pattern of microscopic dynamical relaxation for a two dimensional glass forming liquid. On short timescales, bursts of irreversible particle motion, called cage jumps, aggregate into clusters. On larger time scales, clusters aggregate both spatially and temporally into avalanches. This propagation of mobility, or dynamic facilitation, takes place along the soft regions of the systems, which have been identified by computing isoconfigurational Debye-Waller maps. Our results characterize the way in which dynamical heterogeneity evolves in moderately supercooled liquids and reveal that it is astonishingly similar to the one found for dense glassy granular media.

Ecological and genetic drivers of silicon accumulation in cereal crops
Creators: name: Peetoom Heida, Isaac
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Over the past 30 years, the potential of silicon to improve crop plant performance has gained increasing recognition in the field of plant science. Silicon may be a key tool to guard crop production against uncertain future growing conditions by improving crop tolerance to abiotic and biotic stressors. In this thesis, I take recent advances in our understanding of silicon ecology and extend them into cereal crops, testing for the presence of rapid (< 24 hour) silicification in common Canadian crops after defence induction events, including herbivory, and used a genome-wide association study to identify potential genetic markers associated with high silicon content. We found that overall, simulated herbivory, but not cricket herbivory, increased silicon leaf content. However, at the species level, we found no significant increases in silicon content in response to herbivory treatments. This may be due to a silicon-poor soil environment or could reflect the effect of herbivore identity on specific defensive outcomes. In our genetic analysis, we found no genetic markers with significant associations to silicon content but did find a marker that had a significant correlation with manganese content. Our limited results may reflect the polygenic nature of silicon content in plants, or strong environmental effects. Future studies could build upon our results by developing a mapping population using genotypes we identified as representing the extremes of silicon content. Applications of silicon research into crop production techniques are still limited by crucial gaps in our understanding of how ecology and genetics control silicon uptake, but this work provides yet another steppingstone towards the broader adoption of silicon into agricultural systems.

description: The microfluidic technology based on surface acoustic waves (SAW) has been developing rapidly, as it can precisely manipulate fluid flow and particle motion at microscales. We hereby present a numerical study of the transient motion of suspended particles in a microchannel. In conventional studies, only the microchannel’s bottom surface generates SAW and only the final positions of the particles are analyzed. In our study, the microchannel is sandwiched by two identical SAW transducers at both the bottom and top surfaces while the channel’s sidewalls are made of poly-dimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Based on the perturbation theory, the suspended particles are subject to two types of forces, namely the Acoustic Radiation Force (ARF) and the Stokes Drag Force (SDF), which correspond to the first-order acoustic field and the second-order streaming field, respectively. We use the Finite Element Method (FEM) to compute the fluid responses and particle trajectories. Our numerical model is shown to be accurate by verifying against previous experimental and numerical results. We have determined the threshold particle size that divides the SDF-dominated regime and the ARF-dominated regime. By examining the time scale of the particle movement, we provide guidelines on the device design and operation.

description: Non-coding RNAs are crucial regulators of gene expression in prokaryotes and eukaryotes, but it remains poorly understood how they affect the dynamics of transcriptional networks. We analyzed the temporal characteristics of the cyanobacterial iron stress response by mathematical modeling and quantitative experimental analyses, and focused on the role of a recently discovered small non-coding RNA, IsrR. We found that IsrR is responsible for a pronounced delay in the accumulation of isiA mRNA encoding the late-phase stress protein, IsiA, and that it ensures a rapid decline in isiA levels once external stress triggers are removed. These kinetic properties allow the system to selectively respond to sustained (as opposed to transient) stimuli, and thus establish a temporal threshold, which prevents energetically costly IsiA accumulation under short-term stress conditions. Biological information is frequently encoded in the quantitative aspects of intracellular signals (e.g., amplitude and duration). Our simulations reveal that competitive inhibition and regulated degradation allow intracellular regulatory networks to efficiently discriminate between transient and sustained inputs.

In particular, the local isospin densities of the nuclear and the quark component and the stiffness of the mixed phase are significantly different whether the 2SC phase or the normal quark phase are considered. If a strong diquark pairing is adopted for the 2SC phase, there is a possibility to eventually enter in the nuclear matter 2SC matter mixed phase in low energy heavy ions collisions experiments. Possible observables able to discern between the formation of the 2SC phase or the normal quark phase are finally discussed.

description: We study topological properties of the symmetric inverse topological semigroup of finite transformations $\mathscr{I}_λ^n$ of the rank $\leqslant n$. We show that the topological inverse semigroup $\mathscr{I}_λ^n$ is algebraically $h$-closed in the class of topological inverse semigroups. Also we prove that a topological semigroup $S$ with countably compact square $S\times S$ does not contain the semigroup $\mathscr{I}_λ^n$ for infinite cardinal $λ$ and show that the Bohr compactification of an infinite topological symmetric inverse semigroup of finite transformations $\mathscr{I}_λ^n$ of the rank $\leqslant n$ is the trivial semigroup.

description:
INTRODUCTION: Gaps in information about the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines in pregnancy have led to substantial global variation in public health guidance regarding the use of COVID-19 vaccines in pregnancy over the course of the pandemic. METHODS: We conducted systematic screenings of public health authorities' websites across 224 countries and territories every 3 weeks to track the development of policies on COVID-19 vaccine use in pregnancy. Policies were categorised using a 1-5 permissiveness scale, with 1 indicating policies that recommended use, and 5 indicating policies that recommended against use. RESULTS: As of 30 September 2021, 176 countries/territories had issued explicit guidance on COVID-19 vaccine use in pregnancy, with 38% recommending use, 28% permitting use, 15% permitting use with qualifications, 2% not recommending but with exceptions, and 17% not recommending use whatsoever. This represented a significant shift from May 2021, when only 6% of countries/territories with such policies recommended the use of COVID-19 vaccines in pregnancy (p<0.001). However, no policy positions could be found for 21% of all countries and territories, the vast majority being low and middle income. Policy positions also varied widely by vaccine product, with Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines being most commonly recommended or permitted. CONCLUSION: Our study highlights the evolution of policies regarding COVID-19 vaccine use in pregnancy over a 5-month period in 2021, the role of pregnancy-specific data in shaping these policies and how inequities in access for pregnant people persist, both within countries and globally.
Exploring Prenatal Nutrition Counseling Using a Human Factors Approach
Creators: name: Erbe, Katherine
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

description: Abstract
Introduction: Pregnancy people may be uniquely motivated to make positive lifestyle choices, and obstetric providers are positioned to offer support and information. Multiple contextual factors impact prenatal nutrition counseling, yet little is known about the provider-pregnant person interactions during prenatal nutrition counseling. The field of human factors (HF) considers people’s abilities, characteristics, and limitations with the equipment they use, environments in which they function, and jobs they perform. Using a HF approach, this study examined in real-time patient-provider interactions related to prenatal nutrition counseling at the initial prenatal visit.
Methods: A convergent mixed methods longitudinal study using a HF framework was conducted. Initial pregnancy visits among a sample of obstetric providers at two large urban university clinics were observed and audio recorded from January to April 2023. Observed providers were interviewed and surveyed to evaluate their knowledge and practices related to pregnancy nutrition counseling; additional providers completed surveys. Patients were interviewed immediately after the visit to capture their comprehension, understanding, and perspectives related to prenatal nutrition.
Results: Sixteen providers participated in the observations, including seven nurse-midwives (n=7), attending physicians (n=5), and resident physicians (n=4), and a diverse group of pregnant people (n=20) was recruited. Forty-five providers completed surveys. Themes of communication, content, and inconsistencies were identified in how pregnancy nutrition counseling was completed. Providers made efforts to provide patient-centered pregnancy nutrition counseling, but most discussions were brief, generic, and provider-centered. While patients reported satisfaction with their providers and the information received, there were multiple knowledge gaps and missed patient contextual factors.
Discussion: Inadequate provider training and limited time in visits left many gaps in the provision of pregnancy nutrition counseling. A HF framework is a novel approach to investigating how providers approach pregnancy nutrition counseling and may be useful in researching patient-centered approaches to dietary habits that include contextual factors.
Temperature dependent Raman and x-ray studies of spin-ice pyrochlore $Dy_2Ti_2O_7$ and non-magnetic pyrochlore $Lu_2Ti_2O_7$

description: We present here temperature-dependent Raman, x-ray diffraction and specific heat studies between room temperature and 12 K on single crystals of spin-ice pyrochlore compound $Dy_2Ti_2O_7$ and its non-magnetic analogue $Lu_2Ti_2O_7$. Raman data show a "new" band not predicted by factor group analysis of Raman-active modes for the pyrochlore structure in $Dy_2Ti_2O_7$, appearing below a temperature of $T_c=$110 K with a concomitant contraction of the cubic unit cell volume as determined from the powder x-ray diffraction analysis. Low temperature Raman experiments on O$^{18}$-isotope substituted $Dy_2Ti_2O_7$ confirm the phonon origin of the "new" mode. These findings, absent in $Lu_2Ti_2O_7$, suggest that the room temperature cubic lattice of the pyrochlore $Dy_2Ti_2O_7$ undergoes a "subtle" structural transformation near $T_c$. We find anomalous \textit{red-shift} of some of the phonon modes in both the $Dy_2Ti_2O_7$ and the $Lu_2Ti_2O_7$ as the temperature decreases, which is attributed to strong phonon-phonon anharmonic interactions.

description: This review summarizes the state of the art in searches for supersymmetry at colliders on the eve of the LHC era. Supersymmetry is unique among extensions of the standard model in being motivated by naturalness, dark matter, and force unification, both with and without gravity. At the same time, weak-scale supersymmetry encompasses a wide range of experimental signals that are also found in many other frameworks. We recall the motivations for supersymmetry and review the various models and their distinctive features. We then comprehensively summarize searches for neutral and charged Higgs bosons and standard model superpartners at the high energy frontier, considering both canonical and non-canonical supersymmetric models, and including results from LEP, HERA, and the Tevatron.

Ion-dependent dynamics of DNA ejections for bacteriophage lambda

description: We study the control parameters that govern the dynamics of in vitro DNA ejection in bacteriophage lambda. Past work has demonstrated that bacteriophage DNA is highly pressurized; this pressure has been hypothesized to help drive DNA ejection. Ions influence this process by screening charges on DNA; however, a systematic variation of salt concentrations to explore these effects has not been undertaken. To study the nature of the forces driving DNA ejection, we performed in vitro measurements of DNA ejection in bulk and at the single-phage level. We present measurements on the dynamics of ejection and on the self-repulsion force driving ejection. We examine the role of ion concentration and identity in both measurements, and show that the charge of counter-ions is an important control parameter. These measurements show that the frictional force acting on the ejecting DNA is subtly dependent on ionic concentrations for a given amount of DNA in the capsid. We also present evidence that phage DNA forms loops during ejection; we confirm that this effect occurs using optical tweezers. We speculate this facilitates circularization of the genome in the cytoplasm.
