Genetic association studies of the susceptibility to acute mountain sickness
Creators: name: Wang, Pei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Purpose: Acute mountain sickness (AMS) is the most common and most benign altitude illness. The main symptoms (i.e. headache, nausea, fatigue, dizziness, and disturbed sleep) appear in 6 – 12 h after rapid ascent (usually to above 2500 m) and often subside after 4 – 5 days without further ascent. The etiology is unclear and may be partially due to an innate susceptibility, which could be genetic. The studies described in this thesis focused on genetic predisposition to AMS susceptibility in Nepalese. Given that ancestral background of Nepalese is strongly influenced by its neighbouring populations (e.g. Tibetan and Indian) who may have different levels of AMS susceptibility, due to differing in evolutionary history, population stratification was assessed. Methods: Two hundred and thirty five Nepalese who permanently live below 1800 m were recruited in 2005 (n = 103) and 2008 (n = 132) while attending a religious festival at Gosainkunda (4380 m). Subjects were assigned to the AMS+ and AMS- groups based on clinical diagnosis performed by physicians and using Lake Louise Scoring (LLS) system. Twenty polymorphisms in five candidate genes (ACE, AGTR1, BDKRB2, ADRB2, and NOS3) that encode important components of vascular and pulmonary physiological pathways were investigated. Allele and genotype frequencies at the polymorphic loci were compared between the AMS+ and AMS- groups. Population stratification was assessed by comparing allele and genotype frequencies of fifteen ancestry informative markers and estimating Tibetan and South Asian genetic contributions to Nepalese subjects. Results: No significant difference in allele and genotype frequencies of 19 polymorphisms was found between the AMS+ and AMS- groups. An association was found between the alleles of the NOS3G⁸⁹⁴T polymorphism (rs1799983) in NOS3 and AMS in the 2005 cohort as well as in native Andean highlanders (Quechua) collected in the late 1990s; however, the association was not replicated in the 2008 Nepalese cohort. No population stratification was found in the Nepalese cohorts. Conclusion: Genetic predisposition to AMS in Nepalese was not shown strongly influenced by either alleles in the genes investigated in the studies described in this thesis or by ancestry (South Asian or Tibetan).

description: We report circular dichroism measurements on the helix-coil transition of poly(L-glutamic acid) in solution with polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a crowding agent. Using small angle neutron scattering, PEG solutions have been characterized and found to be well described by the picture of a transient network of mesh size $ξ$, usual for semi-diluted chains in good solvent. We show that the increase of PEG concentration stabilizes the helices and increases the transition temperature. But more unexpectedly we also notice that the increase of crowding agent concentration reduces the mean helix extent at the transition, or in other words reduces its cooperative feature. This result cannot be accounted for by an entropic stabilization mechanism. Comparing the mean length of helices at the transition and the mesh size of the PEG network, our results strongly suggest two regimes: helices shorter or longer than the mesh size.

description: We demonstrate a direct approach to investigate heat transport in the fractional quantum Hall regime. At filling factor of 4/3, we inject power at quantum point contacts and detect the related heating from the activated current through a quantum dot. The experiment reveals a chargeless heat transport from a significant heating that occurs upstream of the power injection point, in the absence of a concomitant electrical current. By tuning in-situ the edge path, we show that the chargeless heat transport does not follow the reverse direction of the electrical current path along the edge. This unexpected heat conduction demonstrates a novel aspect, yet to be elucidated, of the physics in fractional quantum Hall systems.

description: Fifty years after, Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth continues to be one of theoretical models of black radical tradition. The thought of Frantz Fanon was also problematized by the constellation of writers who were engaged in the construction of postcolonial literary identity. The story of the relationship between Fanon and the national liberation movements in Angola illuminates not only political and military processes of decolonization in Africa but also the influence of Fanon's thought. In the Pepetela’s novel, A  Geração da Utopia (1992), Elias as a fanonian misreader, reformulates the Fanon’s thought to defend a racial position of UPA (União das Populações de Angola).

description: We consider a generic composite Higgs model based on the coset SO(5)/SO(4) and study its phenomenology beyond the leading low-energy effective lagrangian approximation. Our basic goal is to introduce in a controllable and simple way the lowest-lying, possibly narrow, resonances that may exist is such models. We do so by proposing a criterion that we call partial UV completion. We characterize the simplest cases, corresponding respectively to a scalar in either singlet or tensor representation of SO(4) and to vectors in the adjoint of SO(4). We study the impact of these resonances on the signals associated to high-energy vector boson scattering, pointing out for each resonance the characteristic patterns of depletion and enhancement with respect to the leading-order chiral lagrangian. En route we derive the O(p^4) general chiral lagrangian and discuss its peculiar accidental and approximate symmetries.

description: A magnetic flux applied along the axis of a nanotube can counteract the effect of the tube chirality and dramatically affect its conductance, leading to a way to determine the chirality of a nanotube. The effect of the applied flux is strongest in the long tube limit where the conductance is (i) either a sequence of sharp $4e^{2}/h$ height peaks located at integer (in units of the flux quantum) values of the flux (for an armchair tube) or (ii) a periodic sequence of pairs of $2e^{2}/h$ height peaks for a chiral tube, with the spacing determined by the chirality. In the short tube limit the conductance takes on the value that gives the universal conductivity of an undoped graphene sheet, with a small amplitude modulation periodic in the flux.

description: We propose a general algorithm for approximating nonstandard Bayesian posterior distributions. The algorithm minimizes the Kullback-Leibler divergence of an approximating distribution to the intractable posterior distribution. Our method can be used to approximate any posterior distribution, provided that it is given in closed form up to the proportionality constant. The approximation can be any distribution in the exponential family or any mixture of such distributions, which means that it can be made arbitrarily precise. Several examples illustrate the speed and accuracy of our approximation method in practice.

description: Ralph Ellison’s allegorical journey in Invisible Man (1994) launched a new era in African-American culture and Black literacy for the entire world in 1952. In 1965, Ellison’s tragic, Diasporic hero appears to have experienced a reincarnation in the epic of Manchild in the Promised Land (1999) by Claude Brown. Currently, lingering in the caverns of Shadows of Your Black Memory (2007), past and present, Donato Ndongo’s tragic, Diasporic hero (of Equatorial Guinean heritage) prompts us to relive the course of colonialism and neocolonialism ‘of the mind’ in this…. the new millennium.
This paper addresses the trilogy of resistance writing in Ellison’s Invisible Man, Brown’s Manchild in the Promised Land, and Ndongo’s Shadows of Your Black Memory. The experiences of the writers, political issues illustrated, and the impact upon the Black literary landscape (universal) will be explored.

description: We suggest a way to study possible conformal symmetries on black hole horizons. We do this by carrying out a Kaluza-Klein like reduction of the Einstein-Hilbert action along the ignorable coordinates of stationary and axisymmetric black holes. Rigid diffeomorphism invariance of the $m$-ignorable coordinates then becomes a global $SL(m,R)$ gauge symmetry of the reduced action. Related to each non-vanishing angular velocity there is a particular $SL(2,R)$ subgroup, which can be extended to the Witt algebra on the black hole horizons. The classical Einstein-Hilbert action thus has $k$-copies of infinite dimensional conformal symmetries on a given black hole horizon, with $k$ being the number of non-vanishing angular velocities of the black hole.

Peripheral arterial chemoreceptors and their role in cardio-respiratory control
Creators: name: Reyes, Catalina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Peripheral arterial chemoreceptors show anatomical and functional similarities and differences among vertebrate groups. Fishes have widely distributed neuroepithelial cells containing serotonin in all gill arches and extrabranchial sites, while mammals have clustered glomus cells in the carotid bifurcation and aortic arch that contain a number of neurotransmitters. However, we do not know how peripheral arterial chemoreceptors of amphibians and reptiles compare to other groups. My thesis established the location, distribution, neurochemical content, reflex roles and plasticity of peripheral arterial chemoreceptors in representative amphibians and reptiles (snakes (Crotalus durissus); turtles (Trachemys scripta elegans) and frogs (Rana catesbeiana)). I found functional chemosensory areas in the carotid bifurcation, aorta and pulmonary artery of rattlesnakes, the same locations where peripheral chemoreceptors are found in amphibians, turtles and tortoises. I used immunohistochemistry and tract tracing to identify putative O₂-sensing cells in snakes, turtles and frogs, and determined their neurochemical content and anatomical relation to branches of the glossopharyngeal and vagus nerves. Although the structure and innervation pattern of these cells is clearly maintained among vertebrate taxa, the types of neurochemicals involved in oxygen chemotransduction seem to have increased in number progressing throughout the vertebrate taxa. While serotonin is found in all vertebrates, the presence of other neurotransmitters varied among species. Catecholamines were found in the chemosensory areas of amphibians, while turtles and snakes contained acetylcholine. While the serotonergic and catecholamine containing cells were organized singly or in small clusters in amphibians and reptiles, cholinergic cells in reptiles were always arranged in large clusters. Unlike mammals, anatomically distinct chemoreceptor groups in snakes did not differ in their reflex response. All chemosensory areas regulated the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, the latter through adjustments in heart rate and the cardiac shunt. Furthermore, changes in the breathing pattern of turtles resulted from daily changes in the sensitivity of chemoreceptors independent of metabolism, indicating that biological rhythms play a role in respiratory control in reptiles. My findings suggest that while O₂-sensing structures are essential among vertebrate groups, considerable plasticity exists for the specifics of location and neurochemicals, which is likely related to differing needs to match oxygen supply and demand.

description: Object of interest and philosophical speculation, sometimes examined as in contrast to the perception and knowledge, Imaginary has generated, in the history of thought, conflicting theories that have defined it, alternately, positive enhancer of knowledge or element disturbing element of pure and  rational knowledge, a real obstacle to the learning process.

Years of psychotherapy that, since the Rêve-Eveillè of Desoille (1930) led us to the current definition of Imaginative Experience, have confirmed, as stated Desoille, that the psychotherapy with the imaginative experience is a privileged way to approach the unconscious.

Privileged way, in which the contributions of neuroscience, through the studies of neural substrate (Passerini, 2009) and a new explanation of neuro- psycho - biological imaginative phenomenon, have allowed us to identify a new way of working.

Psychotherapy with Imaginative Experience, psychodynamic model based on the privileged use of the imaginative production, exploits Imaginary as the main place of the treatment.

It is situated within a theoretical framework referable to the depth psychology, since it interacts and mobilizes psychic energies that when are conflictual, traumatic or deficient, can lead to suffering.

Beyond the resolution of the symptoms, the methodology with Imaginative Experience, through a specifically structured psychodynamic setting, allows to recover the subjectivity of the individual who, at the beginning of the treatment, is suffering from the disease and is calling for help.

It also allows to bring to mind, through movement in the imaginative place, "all the scattered elements of the psyche in order to make a synthesis" (Desoille).

The stimulating imagination, born of the therapeutic relationship between two individual who interact since they need love, to be loved and recognized for their values ​​and meanings, leads to conflictual and unconscious areas. That can trigger real transformative movement that is the result of the creative function of Imaginary, and that has already been recognized in the mid-twentieth century by Gaston Bachelard who declared: "Imagine is a fundamental mental activity" (1975).

description: We present the Arizona CDFS Environment Survey (ACES), a recently-completed spectroscopic redshift survey of the Chandra Deep Field South (CDFS) conducted using IMACS on the Magellan-Baade telescope. In total, the survey targeted 7277 unique sources down to a limiting magnitude of R = 24.1, yielding 5080 secure redshifts across the ~30' x 30' extended CDFS region. The ACES dataset delivers a significant increase to both the spatial coverage and the sampling density of the spectroscopic observations in the field. Combined with previously-published, spectroscopic redshifts, ACES now creates a highly-complete survey of the galaxy population at R < 23, enabling the local galaxy density (or environment) on relatively small scales (~1 Mpc) to be measured at z < 1 in one of the most heavily-studied and data-rich fields in the sky. Here, we describe the motivation, design, and implementation of the survey and present a preliminary redshift and environment catalog. In addition, we utilize the ACES spectroscopic redshift catalog to assess the quality of photometric redshifts from both the COMBO-17 and MUSYC imaging surveys of the CDFS.

description: Starting from the assumption that the present accelerated expansion of the Universe is driven by a chameleon scalar field, the function describing a direct coupling between the matter content of the Universe and the scalar field is derived from cosmological considerations. In progressing from cosmology towards astrophysical scales, this function is used to estimate the influence that such nonminimal coupling may have on the properties of usual (polytropic) stars whose matter can interact directly with the cosmological chameleon. It is shown that in order to obtain sizes and masses of compact configurations supported by the chameleon scalar field comparable to those of usual stars, it is necessary to assume that the pressure of the matter content of the Universe is substantially different from zero. The question of a possible manifestation of the effects of the nonminimal coupling in laboratory experiments is also discussed.

Possibility of cyclic Turnarounds In Brane-world Scenario: Phantom Energy Accretion onto Black Holes and its consequences

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: A universe described by braneworlds is studied in a cyclic scenario. As expected such an oscillating universe will undergo turnarounds, whenever the phantom energy density reaches a critical value from either side. It is found that a universe described by RSII brane model will readily undergo oscillations if, either the brane tension, λ, or the bulk cosmological constant, Λ_{4}, is negative. The DGP brane model does not readily undergo cyclic turnarounds. Hence for this model a modified equation is proposed to incorporate the cyclic nature. It is found that there is always a remanent mass of a black hole at the verge of a turnaround. Hence contrary to known results in literature, it is found that the destruction of black holes at the turnaround is completely out of question. Finally to alleviate, if not solve, the problem posed by the black holes, it is argued that the remanent masses of the black holes do not act as a serious defect of the model because of Hawking evaporation.

Bachelard et les philosophies de l’Orient
Creators: name: Mezaguer, Sarah

description: Although deeply rooted in its time, Bachelard's work dedicated to the Poetic allows many links with the religions of the Far East. Imaginary’s partition into a feminine side and a masculine side, first of all, is a reminiscence of the Yin and Yang of Taoism. But other concepts, such as the “sentiment cosmique” (cosmic feeling) – the sense of being one with the cosmos activated at the end of certain dreams, stimulated by the contact with certain elements – allow a parallel with the Buddhist’s Nirvana and the unity sought in the Tao.

Is it necessary to interpret these similarities in terms of inspiration that Bachelard would have drawn from the most famous authors of oriental literature, since he was a reader as eclectic as bulimic, or should we see in this interpretation of the world, at least partially similar with the one of the great sages of the East, a very personal rediscover, inherent to his method, the phenomenology?

description: In a topcolor-assisted technicolor model (TC2) with large FCNC top quark couplings, we study its correlated contributions to the top quark forward-backward asymmetry ($A_{FB}$) at the Tevatron, the top charge asymmetry ($A_{C}$) and the triple-top production at the LHC. Under current constraints on the top quark from the LHC and Tevatron(such as the total and differential production rates), we scan the parameter space of such a TC2 model. We find that in the allowed parameter space the TC2 model can explain the Tevatron measured $A_{FB}$ at $2σ$ level, but meanwhile significantly enhance $A_{C}$ at the LHC. Such enhanced $A_{C}$, albeit currently allowed by the LHC measurement at $2σ$ level, will serve as a test of TC2 with the improvement of measurement precision at the LHC. Then with all the constraints (including the requirement to explain $A_{FB}$ at $2σ$ level and satisfying the current LHC measurement of $A_{C}$ at $2σ$ level), we find that the TC2 model can induce sizable triple-top production at the 14 TeV LHC (the production rate can maximally reach 16 pb). Due to the low SM backgrounds, the triple-top production can also be a good probe for TC2 model, complementary to $A_{C}$.

description: The gender pension gap, the difference in pension entitlements between men and women, is 32 percent for 60-yearolds according to data from the German Pension Insurance (Deutsche Rentenversicherung). In addition, there is a considerable motherhood pension gap: Statutory pension entitlements for mothers and childless women differ greatly. Pension-related childcare credits, which were introduced in 1986 and have been modified many times since, counteract this gap. Recognition of pension-related childcare credits reduce the difference in pension entitlements between childless women and mothers considerably, albeit only in the immediate years following the birth of a child. For the birth cohorts from 1952 to 1959, the motherhood pension gap for 60-year-olds in western Germany is 26 percent; pension-related childcare credits could not close the gap. Further social and tax policy measures supporting an equal division of care work and paid work are necessary. In addition to expanding public child care, reforms to joint taxation of married couples with full income splitting (Ehegattensplitting) and reducing subsidies for jobs with few working hours (Minijobs) as well as a restructuring of the workplace to be more caretaker-friendly are required.

We investigate the nature of the sign problem in this method and how its severity depends on the system studied. We explain how cancelation of the positive and negative particles sampling the wave function ensures convergence to a stochastic representation of the many-fermion ground state and accounts for the characteristic population dynamics observed in simulations.

description: In this work we investigate the size distribution of particulate matter emitted from a heating stove burning pellet. The effect of fuel contamination by metal nanoparticle is also investigated by seeding the pellet with Cu nanoparticles. Pellet stove emit mainly nanometric particles. The initial transient regime is characterized by stronger oscillations over time and a larger amount of emitted particles respect to the stationary regime. The larger number of emitted particles are in the size range of 100 nm-1mm.

E 'a été également étudié l'effet de la contamination du carburant par des nanoparticules métalliques insémination de la pastille avec des nanoparticules de cuivre. Les enquêtes menées ont montré que le poêle à granulés émet des particules nanométriques principalement avec une taille maximale dans la plage comprise entre 100 nm et 1 mm. Il a été observé un régime transitoire initiale caractérisée par de fortes fluctuations dans le temps et une plus grande quantité de particules émises par rapport à l'état stationnaire.

title: DEPRECATED: TRIBOLOGICAL CHARACTERISATION AND MODELLING OF PREMIUM TUBULAR CONNECTIONS
Creators: name: Stewart, Fiona

description: Premium tubular connections (sometimes referred to as rotary shouldered thread connections), are commonly used to complete a production string in a well in the oil and gas industry. These are attached to threaded pipe ends using a bucking unit and a pre-defined torque value. The torque value is calculated using the coefficient of friction between the two surfaces and a well-known torque equation. The existing technology relies on the coefficient of friction approximated by interpolation, or extrapolation, of empirical data. This may become inaccurate due to the variation of surface finish and/or operation conditions and lead to over or under torque of the connections. A failure such as a leaking connection can result in high financial implications as well as environmental ones. The project was aimed to develop a bench test which adequately represents field conditions. This benchmark test was then used to investigate how CoF was affected by changes in the main variables so that these variables can be better controlled. Therefore, a propriety laboratory test system was developed to allow measurements of friction and galling under these conditions and to examine the sensitivity of friction to initial surface topography, contact pressure, sliding speed and lubricant type. Samples were produced to represent variables which were possible within the oil and gas industry. A set of data was produced to identify the different frictional values for each combination of variables. The results showed that the initial surface topography and the burnishing in repeated sliding have significant effects on friction. iv In order to understand the correlation between the effects of initial surface roughness and burnishing during the sliding process on the coefficient of friction, a theoretical approach was taken to produce a mathematical model whichutilised the data from the laboratory testing. This gave predictions of the wear, roughness and friction with sliding distance. This data was then compared to the physical testing and found to be in line with the results. The results helped to understand how friction is related to external circumstances in the operation of premium tubular connections.

description: Tropp's analysis of Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) using the Exact Recovery Condition (ERC) is extended to a first exact recovery analysis of Orthogonal Least Squares (OLS). We show that when the ERC is met, OLS is guaranteed to exactly recover the unknown support in at most k iterations. Moreover, we provide a closer look at the analysis of both OMP and OLS when the ERC is not fulfilled. The existence of dictionaries for which some subsets are never recovered by OMP is proved. This phenomenon also appears with basis pursuit where support recovery depends on the sign patterns, but it does not occur for OLS. Finally, numerical experiments show that none of the considered algorithms is uniformly better than the other but for correlated dictionaries, guaranteed exact recovery may be obtained after fewer iterations for OLS than for OMP.

description: The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility of using some models developed to study the plant-bacteria interaction mechanisms for the assessment of the impact of chronic exposure to nanoparticles. Rice-associated bacteria showed that some models are sensitive to the presence of NPs and allow a quantification of the effects. Further work needs to be performed in order to set appropriate reference baselines and standards to assess the impact of NPs on the proposed biological systems.

F-theorem, duality and SUSY breaking in one-adjoint Chern-Simons-Matter theories

description: We extend previous work on N=2 Chern-Simons theories coupled to a single adjoint chiral superfield using localization techniques and the F-maximization principle. We provide tests of a series of proposed 3D Seiberg dualities and a new class of tests of the conjectured F-theorem. In addition, a proposal is made for a modification of the F-maximization principle that takes into account the effects of decoupling fields. Finally, we formulate and provide evidence for a new general non-perturbative constraint on spontaneous supersymmetry breaking in three dimensions based on Q-deformed S^3 partition functions. An explicit illustration based on the known analytic solution of the Chern-Simons matrix model is presented.

description: In this thesis I describe fine-scale spatial patterns in rain forest termites, from the colony to the assemblage level, sampled from one hectare plots in Central African and South East Asian lowland rain forest. By so doing the ecological interactions that structure this functionally important and abundant soil community were identified. The African termite assemblage, dominated by soil-feeding termites, saturated the upper soil profile (collected from 90% of soil pits). In contrast termites were collected from <50% of soil pits in Asia, with this difference reflecting the lower species densities and abundances of soil-feeding termites in Asian forests. Territoriality and inter-specific competition was shown to be important between colonies of soil-feeding species in the African plot. The termite assemblages were spatially associated with several environmental properties. However these could not explain the spatial patterns in the functional components of the assemblages. Wood-feeding termites were highly patchily distributed, due to the heterogeneous nature of their food material, but also due to possible competitive interactions for this. Humus-feeding termites were homogenously structured, due to the continuous nature of soil as their feeding and nesting material. True soil-feeding termites, unique to the African assemblage, were heterogeneously distributed despite the equally continuous nature of their feeding and nesting material. This structure may arise from facilitative interactions, such as co-operative defence against ant predation which may be intense in African systems, or through the transfer of soil material at different stages of decomposition. Competition for space is apparent in both regions, both at the colony level among soil-feeding genera, and between aggregations of functional groups. Positive and negative biotic interactions, operating at various spatial and functional scales, appear to be important in influencing how assemblage composition is spatially structured. If indeed facilitation is important in maintaining the taxonomic and functional diversity in termite assemblages, it would be valuable to confirm the mechanism(s) that drives this (i.e. predation and/or food transfer), as these may then influence ecosystem stability.
