description: The ever-growing anthropogenic concentrations of CO2 in our atmosphere has led to an entire industry centered around Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU). One central pillar of the CCU ideology is the conversion of captured CO2 to “value-added” products such as carbon monoxide, formic acid, or commercial products such as plastics or vodka. However, the technologies that this industry rely on are not robust with suspect surface characterization and transient catalytically active sites. Solution phase molecular electrocatalysts are inherently impractical for industrial-scale CO2 conversion due to several complicating factors. However, the insights and knowledge developed from these homogeneous systems can often be directly utilized within industrial-scale heterogeneous electrolyzers with dramatic improvements to catalytic efficacy. Therefore, through the study of homogeneous systems, significant progress can be potentially made towards the effective valorization of CO2. With this in mind, the research outlined in this thesis details the development, exploration and mechanistic analysis of a range of novel CO2RR electrocatalysts with a special focus on earth abundant systems. Using ligand design principles developed through the literature, novel ligands were explored and CO2 reduction capabilities investigated. Once a promising target was identified, an intense mechanistic analysis was undertaken using spectroelectrochemistry and chemical reduction studies to identify and characterize key intermediates in the catalytic cycle. Through this analysis we have confirmed ideas on the importance of redox non-innocent ligands and developed new design principles centered around structural torsional strain. These insights provide value to developing next generation CO2RR electrocatalysts.
Iron-containing monooxygenases in Mycobacterium tuberculosis cholesterol degradation : biochemical and phylogenetic perspectives
Creators: name: Capyk, Jenna
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the human pathogen that causes tuberculosis. A gene cluster encoding a cholesterol degradation pathway plays a role in Mtb virulence. Two iron-containing monooxygenases in this pathway were characterized with respect to their roles in bacterial cholesterol catabolism: the Rieske oxygenase (RO) KshAB, and the cytochrome P450 (P450) Cyp125. These enzymes are predicted to catalyze the first ring-opening step and the first transformation of the steroid side chain, respectively. Cyp125A1 (Mtb) and Cyp125A14P (Rhodococcus jostii RHA1) were expressed in R. jostii RHA1 and characterized in vitro using the Mtb reductase KshB. Both enzymes were purified with the heme iron in a predominantly high spin state and exhibiting thiolate ligation of the heme iron. Both P450s bound cholesterol and 4-cholesten-3-one with apparent submicromolar affinity. Cyp125A1 was demonstrated to catalyze C26-monohydroxylation of both steroids. KshA (a terminal oxygenase) and KshB (an oxygenase reductase) of Mtb were produced in Escherichia coli and characterized in vitro. KshAB had over twenty times the apparent substrate specificity for steroid substrates with isopropionyl-CoA side chains than for the corresponding 17-keto steroids. The apparent KMO₂ with a CoA thioester-bearing steroid was 90 ± 10 μM whereas that for the corresponding 17-keto steroid was in excess of 1.2 mM. These results suggest that the physiological substrate(s) for KshAB is likely a CoA thioester intermediate of cholesterol side chain degradation. A comprehensive phylogenetic analysis was undertaken to consolidate the available RO literature. Six hundred fifty enzymes that are fully representative of the RO terminal oxygenase (RO-O) sequences in the NCBI database were collected and aligned to a structure-based sequence template. The structure-based alignment was also used to objectively define the structurally conserved positions that were included in phylogenetic reconstruction. The resulting analysis revealed a level of RO-O diversity that has been unrecognized in previous literature and that necessitates a different approach to RO-O classification. A classification scheme based on the system currently in use for P450s was proposed. This work provides significant insight into the cholesterol degradation pathway of Mtb and the RO-O protein family and contributes to potential commercial applications in bioremediation, biocatalysis, and Mtb therapeutics.

description: In second-order scalar-tensor theories we study how the Vainshtein mechanism works in a spherically symmetric background with a matter source. In the presence of the field coupling $F(ϕ)=e^{-2Qϕ}$ with the Ricci scalar $R$ we generally derive the Vainshtein radius within which the General Relativistic behavior is recovered even for the coupling $Q$ of the order of unity. Our analysis covers the models such as the extended Galileon and Brans-Dicke theories with a dilatonic field self-interaction. We show that, if these models are responsible for the cosmic acceleration today, the corrections to gravitational potentials are generally small enough to be compatible with local gravity constraints.

description: Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) are a critically endangered species in Canada with fewer than 140 individuals remaining on native habitats in southern Alberta and Saskatchewan. The Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo has initiated North America’s only zoo-based conservation breeding program for this species to bolster declining wild populations through conservation reintroductions. The biodiversity of host-associated microbiota is increasingly recognized as a component of wildlife conservation as studies demonstrate the relationship of the microbiome with growth and development, digestion, toxin metabolism, and immune function. Though the importance of microbiome research is becoming more widely known, there is considerably less literature on free-ranging, captive, or domestic avian species compared to mammalian species. Within the managed population of sage-grouse, the largest proportion of morbidity and mortality have been associated with intestinal bacterial infections. Hypothesizing that a lack of bacterial diversity or an altered bacterial community composition may have health effects on the population in both managed care and post-release, the fecal microbiome of adult and juvenile captive sage-grouse was characterized with 16s rRNA sequencing and compared to samples from wild birds. Antibiotic use and sex did not have a significant impact on the diversity or composition of the microbiome in zoo-based animals, but management of juvenile sage-grouse did influence the development of the microbiome. Juveniles that were raised outdoors with access to maternal care developed a microbiome much more similar to captive adults when compared to chicks that were incubated and hand-raised. Significant differences were noted between the captive and wild microbiome when comparing wild samples to both captive adults, and the oldest juveniles temporarily housed in soft-release pens. Differences were driven primarily by altered community composition, and not by a lack of diversity in the managed population. The local environment and diet appear to be important factors influencing the diversity and composition of the gastrointestinal microbiome in this species. Other variables related to captivity, including proximity to humans and chronic stress, may also be contributing to the significant difference seen between managed and wild populations of endangered greater sage-grouse, and deserve further exploration.

description: General scaling arguments, and the behavior of the thermal entropy density, are shown to lead to an infrared metric holographically representing a compressible state with hidden Fermi surfaces. This metric is characterized by a general dynamic critical exponent, z, and a specific hyperscaling violation exponent, θ. The same metric exhibits a logarithmic violation of the area law of entanglement entropy, as shown recently by Ogawa et al. (arXiv:1111.1023). We study the dependence of the entanglement entropy on the shape of the entangling region(s), on the total charge density, on temperature, and on the presence of additional visible Fermi surfaces of gauge-neutral fermions; for the latter computations, we realize the needed metric in an Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theory. All our results support the proposal that the holographic theory describes a metallic state with hidden Fermi surfaces of fermions carrying gauge charges of deconfined gauge fields.

description: We describe a web-based tool (PASCal; Principal Axis Strain Calculator) aimed at simplifying the determination of principal coefficients of thermal expansion and compressibilities from variable-temperature and variable-pressure lattice parameter data. In a series of three case studies, we use PASCal to re-analyse previously-published lattice parameter data and show that additional scientific insight is obtainable in each case. First, the two-dimensional metal-organic framework Cu-SIP-3 is found to exhibit the strongest area-negative thermal expansion (NTE) effect yet observed; second, the widely-used explosive HMX exhibits much stronger mechanical anisotropy than had previously been anticipated, including uniaxial NTE driven by thermal changes in molecular conformation; and, third, the high-pressure form of the mineral malayaite is shown to exhibit a strong negative linear compressibility (NLC) effect that arises from correlated tilting of SnO6 and SiO4 coordination polyhedra.

Deriving reliable fundamental parameters of PMS-rich star clusters affected by differential reddening

description: We present an approach that improves the search for reliable astrophysical parameters (e.g. age, mass, and distance) of differentially-reddened, pre-main sequence-rich star clusters. It involves simulating conditions related to the early-cluster phases, in particular the differential and foreground reddenings, and internal age spread. Given the loose constraints imposed by these factors, the derivation of parameters based only on photometry may be uncertain, especially for the poorly-populated clusters. We consider a wide range of cluster {\em (i)} mass and {\em (ii)} age, and different values of {\em (iii)} distance modulus, {\em (iv)} differential and {\em (v)} foreground reddenings. Photometric errors and their relation with magnitude are also taken into account. We also investigate how the presence of unresolved binaries affect the derived parameters. For each set of {\em (i)} - {\em (v)} we build the corresponding model Hess diagram, and compute the root mean squared residual with respect to the observed Hess diagram. The parameters that produce the minimum residuals between model and observed Hess diagrams are searched by exploring the full parameter space of {\em (i)} - {\em (v)} by means of {\em brute force}, which may be time consuming but efficient. Control tests show that an adequate convergence is achieved allowing for solutions with residuals 10% higher than the absolute minimum. Compared to a colour-magnitude diagram containing only single stars, the presence of 100% of unresolved binaries has little effect on cluster age, foreground and differential reddenings; significant differences show up in the cluster mass and distance from the Sun. Our approach shows to be successful in minimising the subjectiveness when deriving fundamental parameters of young star clusters.

description: The full set of equations governing the structure and the evolution of self--gravitating cylindrically symmetric dissipative fluids with anisotropic stresses, is written down in terms of scalar quantities obtained from the orthogonal splitting of the Riemann tensor (structure scalars), in the context of general relativity. These scalars which have been shown previously (in the spherically symmetric case) to be related to fundamental properties of the fluid distribution, such as: energy density, energy density inhomogeneity, local anisotropy of pressure, dissipative flux, active gravitational mass etc, are shown here to play also a very important role in the dynamics of cylindrically symmetric fluids. It is also shown that in the static case, all possible solutions to Einstein equations may be expressed explicitly through three of these scalars.

description: We present a comparison of Fisher matrix forecasts for cosmological probes with Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) posterior likelihood estimation methods. We analyse the performance of future Dark Energy Task Force (DETF) stage-III and stage- IV dark-energy surveys using supernovae, baryon acoustic oscillations and weak lensing as probes. We concentrate in particular on the dark-energy equation of state parameters w0 and wa. For purely geometrical probes, and especially when marginalising over wa, we find considerable disagreement between the two methods, since in this case the Fisher matrix can not reproduce the highly non-elliptical shape of the likelihood function. More quantitatively, the Fisher method underestimates the marginalized errors for purely geometrical probes between 30%-70%. For cases including structure formation such as weak lensing, we find that the posterior probability contours from the Fisher matrix estimation are in good agreement with the MCMC contours and the forecasted errors only changing on the 5% level. We then explore non-linear transformations resulting in physically-motivated parameters and investigate whether these parameterisations exhibit a Gaussian behaviour. We conclude that for the purely geometrical probes and, more generally, in cases where it is not known whether the likelihood is close to Gaussian, the Fisher matrix is not the appropriate tool to produce reliable forecasts.

description: In standard cosmologies, dark energy interacts only gravitationally with dark matter. There could be a non-gravitational interaction in the dark sector, leading to changes in the effective DE equation of state, in the redshift dependence of the DM density and in structure formation. We use CMB, BAO and SNIa data to constrain a model where the energy transfer in the dark sector is proportional to the DE density. There are two subclasses, defined by the vanishing of momentum transfer either in the DM or the DE frame. We conduct a Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo analysis to obtain best-fit parameters. The background evolution allows large interaction strengths, and the constraints from CMB anisotropies are weak. The growth of DM density perturbations is much more sensitive to the interaction, and can deviate strongly from the standard case. However, the deviations are degenerate with galaxy bias and thus more difficult to constrain. Interestingly, the ISW signature is suppressed since the non-standard background evolution can compensate for high growth rates. We also discuss the partial degeneracy between interacting DE and modified gravity, and how this can be broken.

Illegal and unreported fishing : global analysis of incentives and a case study estimating illegal and unreported catches from India
Creators: name: Ganapathiraju, Pramod
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing has been identified as one of the important drivers affecting sustainable management of fish stocks worldwide. Although, Governments have initiated regulations and institutions to address these concerns, over the years little progress has been achieved in controlling drivers of illegal fishing. In the post UNCLOS era, countries adopting progressive laws like the United Nations Fish Stocks Agreement, FAO Compliance Agreement and FAO International Plan of Action on IUU fishing have not backed them up with adequate monitoring and surveillance assets, leading to low compliance. Most countries within the new legal framework lack adequate institutional and enforcement infrastructure to improve fisheries compliance. The thesis employs three approaches to identify and evaluate the drivers of illegal and unreported fishing worldwide. First, a case study approach using a questionnaire was used to determine adequacy of monitoring control and surveillance in fisheries of 41 countries. Results demonstrate that monitoring control and surveillance is poor, with both developing and developed countries having problems in this area. The second approach used 1211 illegal fishing penalty cases in 109 countries to show that low penalties provide economic incentives for IUU fishing to persist in many EEZs. Finally, a detailed case study of the Indian EEZ exemplifies the problems of developing countries by evaluating various stages where illegal and unreported catches occur in commercial and small-scale fisheries. The study found evidence of serious decline in mesh size in several net fisheries. Significant evidence of the abuse of joint venture tuna fisheries also reveals that only 20% of the actual catch is reported; with unreported by-catch as large as the actual tuna catch. Results from each of the maritime states in India (including the remote Andaman and Nicobar Islands) reveal that 45000 to 60000 tonnes is taken annually by illegal foreign fishing vessels, while 1.2 million tonnes of discards and 293,000 tonnes remain unreported in the small-scale and commercial trawl fisheries.

Parietal lamella well-developed, its outer end rather straight in the type specimens but curved in the newly collected shell. The outer part of the parietal lamella slightly bent towards columella, inner portion bent in the other direction. Upper palatal tooth low, inconspicuous. Lower palatal tooth situated lower and deeper, elongated, clearly visible from straight view to the aperture. Columellar lamella sharp and relatively low, visible from oblique view to the aperture. Based on the aperture shape, the presence of a basal swelling, and the arrangement of the apertural barriers, this species is classified in Sinoennea. According to the original description “the best preserved shell has been selected as the type”. Thus, the photographed shell is the holotype.

description: The dust charging processes in the collections of electrons and ions in the nonequilibrium dusty plasma with power-law distributions are investigated on the basic of a new q-distribution function theory in nonextensive statistics. Electrons and ions obey the power-law distributions and are with q-parameters different from each other. We derive the generalized formulae for the dust charging currents in which the nonextensive effects play roles. Further we investigate the dust charging processes taking place in the homogeneous dusty plasma where only the particle velocities are power-law distributions and in the dust cloud plasma where the particle velocities and densities are both power-law distributions. By numerical analyses, we show that the nonextensive power-law distributions of electrons and ions have significant effects on the dust charging processes in the nonequilibrium dusty plasma.

Configurations in the matrix phase are consistent with fluctuations around a background of commuting matrices whose eigenvalues are confined to the interior of a ball of radius R=2.0. We study the co-existence curve of the model and find evidence that it has two distinct portions one with a discontinuous internal energy yet critical fluctuations of the specific heat but only on the low temperature side of the transition and the other portion has a continuous internal energy with a discontinuous specific heat of finite jump. We study in detail the eigenvalue distributions of different observables.

description: One of the simplest models used in studying the dynamics of large-scale structure in cosmology, known as the Zeldovich approximation, is equivalent to the three-dimensional inviscid Burgers equation for potential flow. For smooth initial data and sufficiently short times it has the property that the mapping of the positions of fluid particles at any time $t_1$ to their positions at any time $t_2\ge t_1$ is the gradient of a convex potential, a property we call omni-potentiality. Are there other flows with this property, that are not straightforward generalizations of Zeldovich flows? This is answered in the affirmative in both two and three dimensions. How general are such flows? Using a WKB technique we show that in two dimensions, for sufficiently short times, there are omni-potential flows with arbitrary smooth initial velocity. Mappings with a convex potential are known to be associated with the quadratic-cost optimal transport problem. This has important implications for the problem of reconstructing the dynamical history of the Universe from the knowledge of the present mass distribution.

description: Quantum mechanics and general relativity have been extensively and independently confirmed in many experiments. However, the interplay of the two theories has never been tested: all experiments that measured the influence of gravity on quantum systems are consistent with non-relativistic, Newtonian gravity. On the other hand, all tests of general relativity can be described within the framework of classical physics. Here we discuss a quantum interference experiment with single photons that can probe quantum mechanics in curved space-time. We consider a single photon travelling in superposition along two paths in an interferometer, with each arm experiencing a different gravitational time dilation. If the difference in the time dilations is comparable with the photon's coherence time, the visibility of the quantum interference is predicted to drop, while for shorter time dilations the effect of gravity will result only in a relative phase shift between the two arms. We discuss what aspects of the interplay between quantum mechanics and general relativity are probed in such experiments and analyze the experimental feasibility.

description: We consider a general anisotropic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and analyze the phase diagrams of both balanced and imbalanced Fermi gases for the entire BCS--Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) evolution. In the first part, we use the self-consistent mean-field theory at zero temperature, and show that the topological structure of the ground-state phase diagrams is quite robust against the effects of anisotropy. In the second part, we go beyond the mean-field description, and investigate the effects of Gaussian fluctuations near the critical temperature. This allows us to derive the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory, from which we extract the effective mass of the Cooper pairs and their critical condensation temperature in the molecular BEC limit.

On the next-to-leading order QCD K-factor for top anti-top bottom anti-bottom production at the TeVatron

description: Motivated by ongoing experimental analyses, we report on the calculation of next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the production of top anti-top pairs in association with two hard b-jets at the Fermilab TeVatron. Besides the total cross section and its scale dependence, a few differential distributions applicable for Higgs boson searches at the TeVaron are given. The QCD corrections with respect to leading order are negative and small. For our main setup they amount to 2%, and remain reasonably stable against changes of cuts. This proves that an integrated next-to-leading order K-factor does not necessarily need to be applied in the background estimation for the top anti-top H -> top anti-top bottom anti-bottom signal process. The distributions show similarly small corrections. The shape of kinematic distributions is distorted at most by about 20% in some corners of the phase space. Even though it is not the main purpose of this paper, we also evaluated the forward-backward asymmetry of the top quark at next-to-leading order.

description: Background: Stochastic biochemical reaction networks are commonly modelled by the chemical master equation, and can be simulated as first order linear differential equations through a finite state projection. Due to the very high state space dimension of these equations, numerical simulations are computationally expensive. This is a particular problem for analysis tasks requiring repeated simulations for different parameter values. Such tasks are computationally expensive to the point of infeasibility with the chemical master equation. Results: In this article, we apply parametric model order reduction techniques in order to construct accurate low-dimensional parametric models of the chemical master equation. These surrogate models can be used in various parametric analysis task such as identifiability analysis, parameter estimation, or sensitivity analysis. As biological examples, we consider two models for gene regulation networks, a bistable switch and a network displaying stochastic oscillations. Conclusions: The results show that the parametric model reduction yields efficient models of stochastic biochemical reaction networks, and that these models can be useful for systems biology applications involving parametric analysis problems such as parameter exploration, optimization, estimation or sensitivity analysis.

description: As the scale and speed of networks grow, packet-level monitoring has become an indispensable tool for extensive network-wide visibility. Traditional tools for capturing packet-level traces have either become unfit or do not meet the requirements of modern networks. This thesis presents the design and evaluation of software-defined packet-level monitoring solutions that address the monitoring requirements of modern high-speed networks. In particular, we present the design and evaluation of SoftTap, a scalable alternative to hardware taps, which provides pervasive flow visibility utilizing the traffic mirroring capabilities of commodity OpenFlow switches. To decide on the mirroring configurations, we design polynomial time approximation algorithms with bounded approximation ratios. Our Mininet experiments show that an intrusion detection system implemented on top of SoftTap achieves up to 25% higher detection recall compared to existing mirroring solutions. To reduce the monitoring overhead, networks adopt traffic sampling solutions. Existing sampling solutions, however, either provide limited flow visibility or scale poorly in large networks. We present the design and evaluation of FlowShark, a high-visibility per-flow sampling system for software-defined networks. The main idea in FlowShark is to manage sampling decisions on short flows using edge switches, whereas a central controller optimizes sampling decisions on long flows. To manage long flow sampling decisions, we design an online algorithm with a bounded competitive ratio. Our Mininet experiments with a machine learning-based traffic classifier show up to 27% higher classification recall with FlowShark compared to existing sampling solutions. Deploying network-wide packet-level monitoring solutions in multi-tenant virtual networks (VNs) remains challenging. Existing solutions, in which each VN configures mirroring or sampling independently of other VNs, lead to inefficiencies. We present the design and evaluation of Open Virtual Tap and SampVisor, network-wide virtualization-aware flow mirroring and sampling monitoring solutions, respectively. The key idea behind both systems is the joint configuration of all switches in the substrate physical network to efficiently mirror/sample flows from all VNs. We formulate virtualization-aware flow mirroring and sampling as optimization problems and design efficient algorithms with bounded worst-case performance to solve the problems.

description: Numerical simulations of outflows formed during the collapse of 100 M_sun cloud cores are presented. We derive a generalised criterion from MHD wind theory to analyse the launching mechanism of these outflows. The criterion is successfully applied to the whole outflow structure and cases with sub-Keplerian disc rotation. It allows us to decide whether an outflow is driven centrifugally or by the toroidal magnetic pressure. We show that quantities such as the magnetic field line inclination or the ratio of the toroidal to poloidal magnetic field alone are insufficient to determine the driving mechanism of outflows. By performing 12 runs we are able to study the influence of the initial conditions on the properties of outflows around massive protostars in detail. Our simulations reveal a strong effect of the magnetic field strength on the outflow morphology. In runs with weak fields or high rotational energies, well collimated, fast jets are observed whereas for strong fields poorly collimated, low-velocity outflows are found. We show that the occurrence of a fast jet is coupled to the existence of a Keplerian protostellar disc. Despite the very different morphologies all outflows are launched from the discs by centrifugal acceleration with the toroidal magnetic field increasingly contributing to the gas acceleration further away from the discs. The poor collimation of the outflows in runs with strong fields is a consequence of the weak hoop stresses. This in turn is caused by the slow build-up of a toroidal field due to sub-Keplerian disc rotation. The mass ejection/accretion ratios scatter around a mean of 0.3 in accordance with observational and analytical results. We suggest an evolutionary scenario for the earliest stage of massive star formation in which initially poorly collimated outflows develop which progressively get better collimated due to the generation of fast jets.
