description: We give a short description of the present situation of lattice QCD simulations. We then focus on the computation of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon using lattice techniques. We demonstrate that by employing improved observables for the muon anomalous magnetic moment, a significant reduction of the lattice error can be obtained. This provides a promising scenario that the accuracy of lattice calculations can match the experimental errors.

Tracking the Chemical Footprints of Taltheilei Settlement Strategies: Multi–Element and Molecular Analyses of Soils from the Ikirahak Site in Southern Nunavut

description: This dissertation presents the results of chemical and physical soil surveys undertaken at a 2,000 year old Taltheilei hunter–gatherer site off the west coast of Hudson Bay in southern Nunavut. My goal is to develop archeological soil chemistry research in Canada. Research focuses on refining methods for determining whether northern soils can accept and preserve anthropogenic chemical residues, and for distinguishing natural from human chemical patterns. Linking the concepts of soilscapes and site structures, I also discuss how anthropogenic chemical archives are formed, and I highlight what these records tell us about hunter–gatherer site functions, residential mobility, and site seasonality. Archaeological site structure and soilscape analyses are used to define said variables at the Ikirahak study site. Results contribute to building understandings of the preservation of anthropogenic chemical records and to clarifying previously unrecognized Taltheilei lifeways, in turn better resolving diversities in their cultural identity. Over 100 soil and reference samples were analyzed. Methods included multi–element analyses using x–ray fluorescence and inductively coupled plasma – mass spectroscopy, mineral and bimolecular analyses using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, along with assessments of a suite of physical and chemical soil parameters such as porosity and cation exchange capacity. Statistical and spatial patterning were assessed using enrichment factor analysis, analysis of variance, principal components analysis, inverse distance weighted interpolation, and trend surface analysis. MgO, CaO, Cu, P2O5, Ba, K2O, MnO, and Fe2O3 were useful indicators of human influences on the Ikirahak soils. Calcite, carbonate hydroxylapatite, montgomeryite, and trans fats derived from human activities were preserved in the site soils. Crystallinity indices and carbonate/phosphate ratios for tested bone samples indicated high intensity burning. Soilscape analyses at Ikirahak provides unique insight into how Taltheilei people used settlement space. Evidence supports the argument that Ikirahak was occupied by groups of people from late summer to mid/late fall for the purpose of amassing surpluses of caribou products. The chemical footprints of this settlement strategy exemplify a key difference in Taltheilei and Chipewyan identities. Unlike their Chipewyan descendants, some Taltheilei groups made more extensive use of tundra environments for longer periods of time during colder seasons.

description: We consider the astrophysical constraints on the gravitational-wave driven r-mode instability in accreting neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries. We use recent results on superfluid and superconducting properties to infer the core temperature in these neutron stars and show the diversity of the observed population. Simple theoretical models indicate that many of these systems reside inside the r-mode instability region. However, this is in clear disagreement with expectations, especially for the systems containing the most rapidly rotating neutron stars. The inconsistency highlights the need to re-evaluate our understanding of the many areas of physics relevant to the r-mode instability. We summarize the current status of our understanding, and we discuss directions for future research which could resolve this dilemma.

An examination of the slow inactivation and resting inactivation of Kv1.5 and ShakerIR
Creators: name: Cheng, Yen May
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: External H⁺ and Ni²⁺ ions inhibit Kv1.5 channels by increasing current decay during a depolarizing pulse and reducing the peak current. A similarly accelerated current decay and reduced peak current amplitude have also been described in ShakerIR channels at low extracellular pH, and in the fast inactivating ShakerIR T449K, T449A and Kv1.5 H463G mutants in 0 K⁺₀ at pH 7.4. While the increased current decay may be attributed to an enhancement of the slow inactivation of open channels at depolarized potentials, the reduction of peak current cannot. Using standard whole-cell voltage-clamp techniques and fast perfusion changes, the hypothesis that the decreased peak current is due to the induction (by H⁺, Ni²⁺, or removal of K⁺) of a resting inactivation process was investigated. It was found that exposure of resting Kv1.5 channels to H⁺ or Ni²⁺ causes a decrease in the ability of Ba²⁺ ions to move between the external solution and a deep binding site within the selectivity filter. This result is consistent with an outer pore constriction at rest, possibly similar to that which occurs during slow inactivation. An examination of the time courses for the onset of H⁺- or Ni²⁺-enhanced slow inactivation and resting inactivation of Kv1.5 showed that, compared to slow inactivation at +50 mV, the onset of resting inactivation at −80 mV is a relatively slow process. The bi-exponential recovery following H⁺- or Ni²⁺-enhanced slow inactivation or resting inactivation had time constants similar to those for recovery from control slow inactivation. Due to the greatly accelerated slow inactivation of ShakerIR at low pH and the relatively slower perfusion kinetics of our system, it was difficult to assess the contribution of resting inactivation to the H⁺- induced loss of ShakerIR current. However, analogous kinetic analyses performed on the fast-inactivating ShakerIR T449 and Kv1.5 H463 mutants in 0 K⁺₀ also showed that the recovery time courses for resting inactivation and slow inactivation were similar, suggestive of similar recovery pathways. Together, the results strongly suggest that, under specific conditions, the slow inactivation process in wild-type and mutant Kv1.5 and ShakerIR channels can uncouple from activation and occur at resting potentials.

description: We study the Nekrasov-Shatashvili limit of the N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory and topological string theory on certain local toric Calabi-Yau manifolds. In this limit one of the two deformation parameters ε_{1,2} of the Omega background is set to zero and we study the perturbative expansion of the topological amplitudes around the remaining parameter. We derive differential equations from Seiberg-Witten curves and mirror geometries, which determine the higher genus topological amplitudes up to a constant. We show that the higher genus formulae previously obtained from holomorphic anomaly equations and boundary conditions satisfy these differential equations. We also provide a derivation of the holomorphic anomaly equations in the Nekrasov-Shatashvili limit from these differential equations.

Exploring Visual Analytics in the Workplace: A Case Study with the Calgary Epilepsy Program

Subjects: subject: Computer Science

subject: Epilepsy

description: Visual data mining tools integrate machine learning, information visualization, and human pattern recognition capabilities for effective data exploration and analysis. When data is large and high dimensional, humans cannot easily derive conclusions from it, which means data must often be reduced and abstracted. Generally, domain experts are not involved in data abstraction steps and are not informed of the resulting information loss, which can affect informed decision-making. To evaluate how useful it is to involve domain experts and their knowledge in data abstraction steps, which are required to understand and visualize information, we conducted a case study with the Calgary Epilepsy Program. We designed CEP-Vis, a patient centric visual analytics tool, using a user-centered approach to allow clinicians to compare a patient to other patients with epilepsy. We evaluated CEP-Vis through usability studies and interviews and presented the results and challenges of integrating this tool in a real work setting.

description: In this work we discuss charged rotating black holes in $AdS_5 \times S^5$ that degenerate to extremal black holes with zero entropy. These black holes have scaling properties between charge and angular momentum similar to those of Fermi surface operators in a subsector of $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM. We add a massless uncharged scalar to the five dimensional supergravity theory, such that it still forms a consistent truncation of the type IIB ten dimensional supergravity and analyze its quasinormal modes. Separating the equation of motion to a radial and angular part, we proceed to solve the radial equation using the asymptotic matching expansion method applied to a Heun equation with two nearby singularities. We use the continued fraction method for the angular Heun equation and obtain numerical results for the quasinormal modes. In the case of the supersymmetric black hole we present some analytic results for the decay rates of the scalar perturbations. The spectrum of quasinormal modes obtained is similar to that of a chiral 1+1 CFT, which is consistent with the conjectured field-theoretic dual. In addition, some of the modes can be found analytically.

Synthesis of 6- and 7-Azaindoles via a Conjugate Addition and Copper-Catalyzed Cyclization Approach
Creators: name: ZHU, YING
Publisher: name: Graduate Studies
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Education--Sciences
subject: AZAINDOLE
subject: COPPER CATALYSIS

description: In this thesis, it has been demonstrated that 6- and 7-azaindoles with various substituents could be prepared by conjugate additions of (N-formyl)-2-amino-3 iodopyridine and (N-formyl)-3-amino-4-iodopyridine to acetylenic sulfones, ynoates and ynones, followed by copper-mediated intramolecular cyclizations of the resulting o-haloaryl enamine adducts. This methodology employs DMF-water as the solvent and copper(II) acetate as the catalyst for the cyclization step. Neither added ligands nor the exclusion of oxygen is necessary. The process therefore provides a simple, convenient, and inexpensive route to this biologically interesting class of products. Attempts to improve the yields of azaindole products lacking substituents at C-2, or to access the deazapurine and dihydroquinoline/dihydroisoquinoline motifs, proved to be problematic, because of difficulty in effecting the corresponding conjugate additions in reasonable yields, or because the subsequent copper-catalyzed cyclizations could not be carried out under the usual conditions.

Subjects: supply base dynamics; spatiotemporal clustering; space-time permutation scan statistic

description: This article analyses the spatiotemporal dynamics of the actual switching behaviour of farmers’ in a dairy cooperative’s membership base. Space-time permutation scan statistic is used to identify clusters of switching decisions in space and time, while objective and publicly available indicators are related to the occurrence of these clusters. The analysis reveals two classes of clustered switching decisions: Clusters in which many farmers switch on a particular day and clusters covering longer periods of time with farmers switching in a herd-like pattern. Additionally, the relationship between farm sizes as well as price incentives and clustered switching decisions is observed. [EconLit citations: Q13; C23; L25].

More specifically, this quasi-local inequality applies to axially symmetric closed outermost stably marginally (outer) trapped surfaces, embedded in non-necessarily axisymmetric black hole spacetimes with non-negative cosmological constant and matter content satisfying the dominant energy condition.

Subjects: Climate change; adaptation; micro level

description: Adaptation to climate change involves changes in agricultural technologies in particular and management practices in general to reduce its risk and effects. To minimize the losses due to climate change factors, farmers have employed different climate change adaptation strategies. Consequently, this study examines farmer adaptation strategies to climate change in Benishangul-Gumuz Regional State of Ethiopia based on a cross-section data of three representative zones of Assosa, Kamashi zones and Mao-komo special district. The study describes the perceptions of smallholder farmers to changes in climate change indicators and adaptation measures at the farm household level using multivariate discrete choice model to identify the determinants of adaptation strategies. The econometric model has showed that households demographic factors, resources endowments (land, labor, livestock), institutional factors (access to extension services, cooperative membership and access to credit) are some of the important determinants of farm-level adaptation. The policy implication from our finding is that improving access to credit, production factors (like land, labor) enhancing the bargaining power of smallholder farmers can significantly increase farm-level adaptation to climate change. Moreover, adopting different improved crop varieties have showed better yield gains than non-adopters. Thus, policies and strategies should focus at research and development on appropriate technologies that help smallholder farmers’ adaptation capacity to climate changes hereby varietal development, appropriate agronomic recommendations, pre-extension demonstration and popularization of improved cultivars and promoting appropriate farm-level adaptation measures such as use of irrigation technologies.

description: Export horticulture in Kenya viewed as an agro-industrial food system is currently the fastest growing agricultural sub-sector in terms of foreign exchange earnings. Increased demand for horticulture products led to production spreading beyond the traditional mountainous high yielding areas into arid and semi-arid zones as in Northwest Mount Kenya. This food system competes with other food systems for common pool resources needed for the production of food. We argue that local actors, especially poorer households lack the power to influence the institutions (‘rules of the game’) of production and resource ownership by which the dominant agro-industrial system impacts their livelihoods.
This paper is structured to include the following sections: the introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion and conclusions on the challenges and opportunities in export horticulture as an agro-industrial food system: case study of Northwest Mount Kenya region.

description: Understanding the enablers of and barriers to physical activity (PA) participation in people with fibromyalgia (PwF) is an essential first step to developing effective PA interventions. This systematic review examined correlates of PA across the socio-ecological model (i.e., intra-personal, inter-personal, environmental, and policy level) in PwF. PubMed, Embase, and CINAHL were searched from inception until 12 July 2022. Keywords included “physical activity” or “exercise” and “fibromyalgia” or “fibrositis.” Summary coding was used to quantify the PA correlates. Out of 74 PA correlates retrieved from 39 articles (n = 9426), co-morbid depression and higher pain intensity were found to be consistent (i.e., reported in four or more articles) barriers to PA in PwF, while higher self-efficacy and better endurance were found to be consistent enablers to PA. Despite the abundance of evidence for the PA benefits for PwF, we only found consistent evidence for PA correlates at the intrapersonal level. Health professionals should consider mental and physical health barriers when promoting PA in PwF. There remains a need to better understand social, environmental, and policy-related factors associated with PA participation in PwFImplications for rehabilitationCo-morbid depression is a notable barrier to physical activity participation in people with fibromyalgia.Experienced pain intensity should be considered as a barrier when promoting physical activity for people with fibromyalgia.Rehabilitation professionals should facilitate self-efficacy in physical activity interventions for people with fibromyalgia.Rehabilitation professionals should promote endurance when motivating people with fibromyalgia towards an active lifestyle.

description: The study of wartime popular sheet music produced by Anglo-Canadians is vitally important, as it illustrates what was popular in society and demonstrates how Canadians reacted to the world around them. During the First World War, the medium of patriotic sheet music catalysed the management of morale during on the home front, as it offered an emotional outlet for thousands of people in desperate need of a diversion from the grim reality and toll of the war overseas. The cover illustrations, lyrics, and musical scores of hundreds of patriotic songs offer a useful lens into contemporary Anglo-Canadian society in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as composers immortalized popular conceptions of war, identity, and responsibility on the pages of their songs. Patriotic sheet music therefore demonstrates the popular trends that led so many young boys to war in 1914, and helps to explain how Canadians reacted to the war on the home front.

description: Synchrotron high-resolution powder X-ray diffraction (HRPXRD), and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), have been applied in order to study the crystal chemistry and structure of a birefringent almandine (Alm) sample from the Solitude Range, British Columbia. An intergrowth of three and four cubic Alm phases were found for Alm-1 and Alm-2 respectively, along with a minor phase of quartz for both fragments. The a cell parameters in Alm-1 vary between Alm-1a: 11.56615(4) Å and Alm-1c: 11.54858(7) Å. For Alm-2 fragment, the a cell parameters vary between Alm-2a: 11.58726(3) Å and Alm-2d: 11.54978(4) Å. Based on Alm content, compositions range from Alm69.35Grs17.67 Sp7.37Py4.07 to Alm79.98Grs8.12 Py10.52Sp0.08Uv0.04. Based on the cubic symmetry, the peak splitting of the traces observed in the HRPXRD and the heterogeneous Alm composition determined with EPMA, different cubic phases intergrown together is the answer to birefringence in Alm, and could also be in other type of garnets.

What is Past is Prologue: Historical and Organizational Factors in Establishing a Director of the United States Intelligence Community

description: The U.S. Intelligence Community (IC) is the largest and most complex institution of its kind, comprised of sixteen semi-autonomous agencies with different, sometimes overlapping, spheres of responsibility. Historically, it has proven difficult to establish centralized leadership over the IC. Following the attacks of September 11, 2001, sweeping intelligence reforms were enacted, including legislation to empower central leadership by establishing a Director of National Intelligence. Despite these changes, resistance to central management plagues the IC. The failure in organizational reform is poorly understood, as the literature does not conceptualize intelligence agencies primarily as institutions. The approach proposed herein analyzes the developmental paths of agencies, which illuminates the organizational factors affecting reform. Utilizing the framework of Historical Institutionalism in the new context of intelligence agencies helps explain the challenges to reform posed by institutional interests and organizational cultures, impairing the realistic possibility of centralized control over disparate intelligence budgets, personnel, and priorities.

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

description: The Hamiltonian analysis for the Einstein's action in $ G\to 0 $ limit is performed. Considering the original configuration space without involve the usual $ADM$ variables we show that the version $ Gto 0 $ for Einstein's action is devoid of physical degrees of freedom. In addition, we will identify the relevant symmetries of the theory such as the extended action, the extended Hamiltonian, the gauge transformations and the algebra of the constraints. As complement part of this work, we develop the covariant canonical formalism where will be constructed a closed and gauge invariant symplectic form. In particular, using the geometric form we will obtain by means of other way the same symmetries that we found using the Hamiltonian analysis.

description: Investigate the effect of exercise for adults with cerebral palsy (CP) on quality of life, participation (attendance and involvement in life situations), functional mobility, pain, fatigue, mood, and self-efficacy. A systematic review was completed. Twelve databases were searched from inception to August 2022 for studies including participants (≥16 years) with cerebral palsy, and that evaluated an exercise intervention. Two reviewers independently assessed eligibility, risk of bias, and extracted data. Seventeen studies (total n = 532) were included: 12 randomised control trials, four non-randomised trials, and one single case experimental design. Interventions studied were predominantly strength, aerobic or treadmill training, dance, and swimming. No study assessed participation, pain or mood. Of two studies that assessed quality of life, one reported a positive effect on an aspect of mental health immediately after the programme finished. All studies assessed functional mobility, but only one reported a positive effect. One study assessed self-efficacy and found no effect, and another assessed fatigue and reported conflicting results. The effect of exercise for adults with CP, on outcomes that adults report as important to them – quality of life, participation, pain, mood, and fatigue – are unknown.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONTo address outcomes important to adults with cerebral palsy (CP), it is important to understand how exercise affects participation and quality of life.All modes of exercise reviewed appear safe for adults with CP and choice should be based on the client’s preferences, access to services, and convenience.Addressing any needed accommodations in the environment and context is likely more important than exercise prescription parameters when tailoring exercise to meet the needs of adults with CP and sustain participation.

description: The MAGIC experiment was upgraded to a two-telescope system in 2009. Unlike other Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope arrays, MAGIC has operated for five years exclusively in monoscopic mode, and the single telescope analysis was optimized throughout this time. To improve the analysis, we used techniques like the random forest event classification method for different purposes, and sophisticated image cleaning algorithms. The monoscopic performance was optimized in the energy domain around and below 100 GeV, which is inaccessible for the other arrays of Cherenkov telescopes. Still, with these analysis techniques, we were competitive also in the TeV regime. In the recent development of the stereoscopic analysis chain, the know-how of these single telescope techniques was combined with the new possibilities of the three-dimensional reconstruction, taking advantage both of the richness of single images and their projections onto the sky. We present recent advancements in the image cleaning and direction reconstruction algorithms, sky mapping and other procedures currently used in the analysis of MAGIC stereo data.

description: We examine energy transport in an ensemble of closed quantum systems driven by stochastic perturbations. One can show that the probability and energy fluxes can be described in terms of quantum advection modes (QAM) associated with the off-diagonal elements of the density matrix. These QAM play the role of Landauer channels in a system with discrete energy spectrum and the eigenfunctions that cannot be described as plane waves. In order to determine the type of correlations that exist between the direction and magnitudes of each QAM and the average direction of energy and probability fluxes we have numerically solved the time-dependent Schrödinger equation describing a single particle trapped in a parabolic potential well which is perturbed by stochastic 'ripples'. The ripples serve as a localized energy source and are offset to one side of the potential well. As the result a non-zero net energy flux flows from one part of the potential well to another across the symmetry center of the potential. We find that some modes exhibit positive correlation with the direction of the energy flow. Other modes, that carry a smaller energy per unit of the probability flux, anticorrelate with the energy flow and thus provide a backflow of the probability. The overall picture of energy transport that emerges from our results is very different from the conventional one based on a system with continuous energy spectrum.

Subjects: subject: Engineering--Chemical
subject: Engineering--Environmental
subject: Steam reformin, bio-oil, esterification, pyrolysis

description: This study investigated two methods of upgrading bio-oil. The first was the production of hydrogen (H2) via catalytic steam reforming of the aqueous phase of bio-oil. The experiments were carried out in a fixed bed tubular flow reactor over nickel-based alumina-supported catalysts promoted with magnesia (Ni-MgO/Al2O3). The impact of time, nickel quantity, preparation conditions, and the initial bio-oil to water ratio on the yield of various outlet gases including hydrogen was investigated. The second method investigated in this study was catalytic esterification of bio-oil with an acid catalyst and various alcohols. An existing method was modified to measure the esterification degree and the effect of reaction conditions including temperature, carbon chain length of the alcohols, catalyst, alcohol content, and reaction time. This study employed a batch reactor for the reduction of carboxylic acids.

description: A new integrability condition of the Riccati equation $dy/dx=a(x)+b(x)y+c(x)y^{2}$ is presented. By introducing an auxiliary equation depending on a generating function $f(x)$, the general solution of the Riccati equation can be obtained if the coefficients $a(x)$, $b(x)$, $c(x)$, and the function $f(x)$ satisfy a particular constraint. The validity and reliability of the method are tested by obtaining the general solutions of some Riccati type differential equations. Some applications of the integrability conditions for the case of the damped harmonic oscillator with time dependent frequency, and for solitonic wave, are briefly discussed.
