Identification and functional analysis of genes regulating ES cell pluripotency
Creators: name: Hsu, Lien
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Embryonic stem cells (ESC) are a pluripotent cell population with the capacity to undergo symmetrical self-renewing divisions, as well as to differentiate into cells of all three embryonic germ layers both in vitro under appropriate culture conditions and in vivo. Recent gene expression profiling studies have begun to identify the key genes defining the mouse ESC phenotype. In addition, comparisons of ESC gene expression profiles with those of differentiated cells, or various types of adult stem cells, have been done in an attempt to identify a set of critical ESC regulatory genes. However, these studies have been limited by a lack of related functional data for the ESC, correspondent to the expression analysis. In order to more accurately identify important regulatory genes a global gene expression profiling study on undifferentiated and early differentiated ESC was carried out at the BC Cancer Research Center (BCCRC) to identify those genes whose loss of expression correlates with loss of stem cell function. Further comparison of the BCCRC R1 ESC dataset with a similar R1 ESC data set generated through the Stem Cell Network (SCN) allowed us to identify candidate genes whose expression either significantly decreased in the first 18 hours following removal of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) or which continued decreasing over 72 hours. An additional comparison was carried out to identify over-lapping genes amongst 3 different ESC lines: R1, J1, V6.5 (all from SCN). Eight candidate genes, present in all data sets and fulfilling additional criteria, were identified through these analyses: Bc13, Klf5, Emp 1, Inhbb, Cxcl 1, Cbx2, Ankrd I, and 8430410Al7Riken. Their expression patterns were confirmed using quantitative real time PCR during ESC differentiation. Lenti-viral vectors for over-expression of these candidates were generated and used to obtain ESC populations showing increased expression. Functional studies, including embryoid body (EB) formation and colony forming cell (CFC) assays, as well as assessment of cell survival and proliferation rates, were done. Of note, Gbx2 and Inhbb were shown to partially rescue the differentiation potential of ESC following LIF removal, as well as to alter cell lineage differentiation and EB morphology. In addition, ESC over-expressing Inhbb or Cxcll showed differences in proliferation rate. Ankrd1 influenced the plating efficiency of ESC. This work lays the foundation for further studies into the molecular mechanisms that regulate ESC "sternness". Moreover, these studies may provide clues for the development of effective strategies to direct the differentiation of ESC into functional end cells of a specific type for use in cell replacement and cancer therapies.

description: We present an analysis of HST STIS data of VW Hyi acquired ~ 14 days after a superoutburst. At the time of the observation the system appears to be going into outburst with the longest wavelengths increasing in flux by a factor of 5, while the shortest wavelengths increase by only a factor of 2. Using the distance of 65 pc, a system inclination angle of 60 degrees and a white dwarf mass of 0.86 solar mass, we carried out model fits involving a white dwarf by itself, an optically thisck accretion disk by itself, a composite model using an optically thick accretion disk and a white dwarf, a two-temperature white dwarf model with a cooler more slowly rotating photosphere and a hotter, rapidly rotating accretion belt and a composite model involving a white dwarf and a rapidly rotating cooler disk ring heated up to a ``low'' temperature of \~13-14,000K. This component of temperature stays fairly constant throughout the HST observations while the area of the disk ring increases by a factor of 12. We see evidence of a delay in the UV emission consistent with the outburst beginning outside of a disk truncation radius.

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

description: We investigate the physical properties of quark stars with two different equations of state in generalized hybrid metric-Palatini gravity. This theory corresponds to a bi-scalar gravitational theory in which there are two non-minimally-coupled scalar fields. The field equations of the metric tensor and scalar fields are derived by varying the action with respect to the dynamical fields. We obtain the field equations for static spherically symmetric geometry interior of compact objects. The numerical solutions for two types of quark stars, the MIT bag and CFL model are studied. The solutions reveal the structure of the compact objects. The solutions are obtained for different values of the model parameters. All considered cases show that compact objects are more massive than their general relativity counterpart. The surface redshift and compactness are also obtained which shows that the generalized hybrid metric-Palatini quark stars have higher surface redshift and are more compact than general relativity quark stars.

description: DAzLE is an near infrared narrowband differential imager being built by the Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge, in collaboration with the Anglo-Australian observatory. It is a special purpose instrument designed with a sole aim; the detection of redshifted Lyman-alpha emission from star forming galaxies at z>7. DAzLE will use pairs of high resolution (R=1000) narrowband filters to exploit low background `windows' in the near infrared sky emission spectrum. This will enable it to reach sensitivities of ~2E-21 W/m^2, thereby allowing the detection of z>7 galaxies with star formation rates as low as a few solar masses per year. The design of the instrument, and in particular the crucial narrowband filters, are presented. The predicted performance of DAzLE, including the sensitivity, volume coverage and expected number counts, is discussed. The current status of the DAzLE project, and its projected timeline, are also presented.

Flavor-Changing Processes in Extended Technicolor

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We analyze constraints on a class of extended technicolor (ETC) models from neutral flavor-changing processes induced by (dimension-six) four-fermion operators. The ETC gauge group is taken to commute with the standard-model gauge group. The models in the class are distinguished by how the left- and right-handed $(L,R)$ components of the quarks and charged leptons transform under the ETC group. We consider $K^{0} - \bar K^0$ and other pseudoscalar meson mixings, and conclude that they are adequately suppressed if the $L$ and $R$ components of the relevant quarks are assigned to the same (fundamental or conjugate-fundamental) representation of the ETC group. Models in which the $L$ and $R$ components of the down-type quarks are assigned to relatively conjugate representations, while they can lead to realistic CKM mixing and intra-family mass splittings, do not adequately suppress these mixing processes. We identify an approximate global symmetry that elucidates these behavioral differences and can be used to analyze other possible representation assignments. Flavor-changing decays, involving quarks and/or leptons, are adequately suppressed for any ETC-representation assignment of the $L$ and $R$ components of the quarks, as well as the leptons. We draw lessons for future ETC model building.

description: Carbonfaserverstärkte Kunststoffe bilden ab Temperaturen von 650 °C lungengängige Faserbruchstücke. Die Bildung solcher Bruchstücke kann mit Hilfe von Flammschutzmitteln eingedämmt werden. Im Rahmen dieser Doktorarbeit wurde die Klasse der Phosphasilazane als neuartige Flammschutzmittel erschlossen. Diese weisen gleichzeitig einen Schutz der Carbonfasern vor thermo-oxidativem Abbau auf. Durch Variation der chemischen Umgebung am Phosphoratom lässt sich der Flammschutzmechanismus beeinflussen. Weitere Struktur-Eigenschaftsbeziehungen wurden unter anderem durch Variation der chemischen Umgebung am Silicium-Atom, sowie Synergismusbetrachtungen mit weiteren Flammschutzmitteln ermittelt. Dabei wurden sowohl Flamm- und Faserschutz als auch einige thermo-mechanischen Eigenschaften untersucht.

description: Quarkonium is an ideal probe to explore the properties of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Unlike Large Hadron Collider (LHC) measurements, quarkonium production at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) has different production mechanisms, can access different kinematic phase space and may experience different medium densities/temperatures. The PHENIX experiment has collected a large $J/ψ\to μ^{+}μ^{-}$ data set within its unique pseudorapidity region of $1.2<|η|<2.2$ in $p+p$, $p+A$ and $A+A$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 200 GeV from 2014 to 2016. Latest results of normalized charged particle multiplicity dependent normalized forward $J/ψ$ yields and normalized forward $ψ(2S)$ to $J/ψ$ ratio in 200 GeV $p+p$ collisions as well as forward $J/ψ$ azimuthal anisotropy in 200 GeV Au+Au collisions will be shown. Comparison with other RHIC and LHC measurements and latest theoretical calculations will be discussed. These PHENIX results provide their unique contributions in improving the understanding of the multi-parton interaction contribution to charmonium production and the recombination/coalescence contribution to charmonium formation within Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP) at RHIC energies.

description: We employ a convolutional neural network to explore the distinct phases in random spin systems with the aim to understand the specific features that the neural network chooses to identify the phases. With the energy spectrum normalized to the bandwidth as the input data, we demonstrate that a network of the smallest nontrivial kernel width selects level spacing as the signature to distinguish the many-body localized phase from the thermal phase. We also study the performance of the neural network with an increased kernel width, based on which we find an alternative diagnostic to detect phases from the raw energy spectrum of such a disordered interacting system.

description: The low energy and finite temperature excitations of a $d+1$-dimensional system exhibiting superfluidity are well described by a hydrodynamic model with two fluid flows: a normal flow and a superfluid flow. In the vicinity of a quantum critical point, thermodynamics and transport in the system are expected to be controlled by the critical exponents and by the spectrum of irrelevant deformations away from the quantum critical point. Here, using gauge-gravity duality, we present the low temperature dependence of thermodynamic and charge transport coefficients at first order in the hydrodynamic derivative expansion in terms of the critical exponents. Special attention will be paid to the behavior of the charge density of the normal flow in systems with emergent infrared conformal and Lifshitz symmetries, parameterized by a Lifshitz dynamical exponent $z>1$. When $1\leq z1$) previous results obtained by relativistic effective field theory techniques. Instead, when $z>d+2$, we show that the normal charge density becomes non-vanishing at zero temperature. An extended appendix generalizes these results to systems that violate hyperscaling as well as systems with generalized photon masses. Our results clarify previous work in the holographic literature and have relevance to recent experimental measurements of the superfluid density on cuprate superconductors.

description: We investigate the evolution of supermassive binary black holes (BBHs) in galaxies with realistic property distributions and the gravitational-wave (GW) radiation from the cosmic population of these BBHs. We incorporate a comprehensive treatment of the dynamical interactions of the BBHs with their environments by including the effects of galaxy triaxial shapes and inner stellar distributions, and generate a large number of BBH evolution tracks. By combining these BBH evolution tracks, galaxy mass functions, galaxy merger rates, and supermassive black hole-host galaxy relations into our model, we obtain the statistical distributions of surviving BBHs, BBH coalescence rates, the strength of their GW radiation, and the stochastic GW background (GWB) contributed by the cosmic BBH population. About ~1%-3% (or ~10%) of supermassive BHs at nearby galactic centers are expected to be binaries with mass ratio >1/3 (or >1/100). The characteristic strain amplitude of the GWB at frequency 1/yr is estimated to be ~$2.0^{+1.4}_{-0.8}\times 10^{-16}$, and the upper bound of its results obtained with the different BH-host galaxy relations can be up to $5.4\times 10^{-16}$, which await testing by future experiments (e.g., the Square Kilometer Array, FAST, Next-Generation Very Large Array). The turnover frequency of the GWB spectrum is at ~0.25nHz. The uncertainties on the above estimates and prospects for detecting individual sources are also discussed. The application of the cosmic BBH population to the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) band provides a lower limit to the detection rate of BBHs by LISA, ~0.9/yr.

description: The tensionless string theory with perimeter action has pure massless spectrum of higher-spin gauge fields. The multiplicity of these massless states grows linearly. It is therefore much less compared with the standard string theory and is larger compared with the field theory models of the Yang-Mills type. It is important to define nontrivial interaction between infinite amount of massless particles of the perimeter string theory. The appropriate vertex operators were defined recently and I study the lowest order vertex operators and the corresponding scattering amplitudes in tree approximation. I emphasize the special importance of the vertex operator for fixed helicity states.

description: The electrical properties of DNA molecules are investigated by charge injection and electric force microscopy experiments. Prior to injection, DNA molecules exhibit a weak positively charged state. We probe the electrical behaviour of DNA by measuring the localized or delocalized character of the DNA charge states upon injection of excess charges. We show that injected charges do not delocalize for overstretched DNA prepared by a receding meniscus technique, while the adjunction of spermidine during the deposition leads to relaxed DNA molecules exhibiting a charge delocalization over microns. The interplay between charge localization/delocalization and deposition techniques may explain that transport behaviors ranging from insulating to conductive have been reported for DNA deposited on surfaces.

title: Intelligent Side Information Generation in Distributed Video Coding
Creators: name: Akinola, Mobolaji Olukunle
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2015

description: Distributed video coding (DVC) reverses the traditional coding paradigm of complex encoders allied with basic decoding to one where the computational cost is largely incurred by the decoder. This is attractive as the proven theoretical work of Wyner-Ziv (WZ) and Slepian-Wolf (SW) shows that the performance by such a system should be exactly the same as a conventional coder. Despite the solid theoretical foundations, current DVC qualitative and quantitative performance falls short of existing conventional coders and there remain crucial limitations. A key constraint governing DVC performance is the quality of side information (SI), a coarse representation of original video frames which are not available at the decoder. Techniques to generate SI have usually been based on linear motion compensated temporal interpolation (LMCTI), though these do not always produce satisfactory SI quality, especially in sequences exhibiting non-linear motion. This thesis presents an intelligent higher order piecewise trajectory temporal interpolation (HOPTTI) framework for SI generation with original contributions that afford better SI quality in comparison to existing LMCTI-based approaches. The major elements in this framework are: (i) a cubic trajectory interpolation algorithm model that significantly improves the accuracy of motion vector estimations; (ii) an adaptive overlapped block motion compensation (AOBMC) model which reduces both blocking and overlapping artefacts in the SI emanating from the block matching algorithm; (iii) the development of an empirical mode switching algorithm; and (iv) an intelligent switching mechanism to construct SI by automatically selecting the best macroblock from the intermediate SI generated by HOPTTI and AOBMC algorithms. Rigorous analysis and evaluation confirms that significant quantitative and perceptual improvements in SI quality are achieved with the new framework.
Moving beyond the data : examining the effectiveness of the sensitive ecosystem inventory as a tool for local and regional conservation planning
Creators: name: Hobson, Angela Margaret
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Since the late 1980s and early 1990s, regions throughout British Columbia (BC) have experienced rapid and widespread loss of natural areas. Lack of funding has frequently led to poor ecosystem management, short-sighted decision-making and an inability to adequately educate the public about the importance of natural areas protection. In an effort to promote a shift in land use priorities, Environment Canada’s Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS), in partnership with BC Ministry of Environment (MoE), has been working to raise awareness about sensitive ecosystems in areas of the province experiencing concentrated development pressure over the last 15 years. The pilot study for the SEI program, initiated in 1993, was carried out in East Coast Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, Inventory results showed widespread fragmentation, degradation and loss of sensitive ecosystems. A sensitive ecosystems inventory provides the crucial first step in conservation planning: identification of sensitive and significant natural areas. The goal of this thesis is to determine the ways in which Sensitive Ecosystems lnventory data have been used - and where opportunities have been missed - to inform land use decisions made by local and regional governments in the East Vancouver Island/Gulf Islands region. The research identifies institutional barriers to strategic use of ecosystems inventory data, and considers the societal and political forces that hinder effective local and regional conservation planning today. In addition, it recommends ways in which the SEI might be modified and used differently in order to better facilitate local and regional conservation planning. Three primary methods were used: a review of the literature on local and regional conservation planning, a formal interview process, and a method of problem analysis called Problem Stratigraphy, used here in the analysis of barriers. Analysis of the interview results showed that while most local and regional governments within the study area are using SEI data, different jurisdictions are limited in their use in different ways. Certainly, the SEI is an imperfect tool, and one of limited use. Innovative municipalities and regional districts, however, have shown that with a small investment of time and resources, it is possible to build upon SEI data to create a local inventory at a finer scale that is very much of use. Coupled with stringent regulation of land use, such a tool has a great deal of potential in reversing the downward spiral of ecological destruction, and depicting the direct association between healthy ecosystems and healthy communities.

description: The Josephson current through a 1D quantum wire with Rashba spin-orbit and electron-electron interactions is calculated. We show that the interplay of Rashba and Zeeman interactions gives rise to a supercurrent through the 1D conductor that is anomalous in the sense that it persists in the absence of any phase difference between the two superconducting leads to which it is attached. The electron dispersion asymmetry induced by the Rashba interaction in a Luttinger-liquid wire plays a significant role for poorly transmitting junctions. It is shown that for a weak or moderate electron-electron interaction the spectrum of plasmonic modes confined to the normal part of the junction becomes quasi-random in the presence of dispersion asymmetry.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: The aim of the study was to determine the economic efficiency of small pig farms participating in the pig genetic resources conservation programme. Ten farms participating in the pulawska conservation programme from the Lubelszczyzna region were intentionally chosen for the study. The study was performed in 2011-2013. The economic efficiency of production was calculated based on the division of costs into direct and indirect costs. The economic categories conform with the FADN terminology. It was found that the farms selected for analysis of race-term protected and covered by the scheme achieved a profit from production and payment behavior of local pig breeds contributed to the increased income from operations by an average of 50.56%

description: The aim of the paper was to determine the potential production of wheat market for bioethanol production in Poland after the year 2004. This potential is understood in two ways – as a potential taking into account the current international trade and potential without the participation in international trade (national balance) which can be seen as a potential with limited export and import volumes. The paper has also reviewed the wheat market and the current state of the bioethanol sector in Poland after the year 2004. On the basis of the calculated surplus in wheat market in Poland in the seasons 2004/2005-2014/2015 there is calculation of additional potential production of bioethanol. Poland has considerable production potential in bioethanol sector and it could reduce its import.

description: The analysis of the competitiveness of the Polish and German in mutual trade in agri-food products showed that Germany has for years been the most important partner of Polish trade in agri-food products. Polish accession to the EU intensified trade between partners and strengthened the competitive position of Polish food producers on the German market. Since 2005, Polish agri-food products have a growing comparative advantage in the German market while RCA indicators for Germany are still less than 1. Poland still plays a relatively minor role in the German agri-food trade. It seems, that sales on the German market is still a chance of development for Polish food producers.
Phantasmagorias of the nation
Creators: name: Ince, Onur Ulas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis presents an alternative approach to the notion of the "imagined community of the nation" by focusing on the role of aesthetics in the emergence of the modern nation. Within the framework of the late 18th-early 20th Century Europe, the thesis explores the modern transformations that gave rise to the nation from a perspective that establishes the convergence of aesthetics and politics as the central process through which the imagination of the nation is (re)produced. It designates unqualified, bodily, "naked" life as the grounds for this convergence, and traces the emergence of naked life through processes of its "scientization" by the discipline of psychophysiology, its "aestheticization" by phantasmagorical spectacles, and its "politicization" through its inscription in the national juridical order around the persona of the citizen. It contends that naked life that first emerged as an imaginable entity in psychophysiology was captured in aesthetic constellations by phantasmagorias, which were then appropriated by the project of nation-building for the forging of the national imaginary. The political function of the "phantasmagorias of the nation" is to uphold the mythical notion of predestination to the eternal present of the nation, which finds its corollary in the fateful subjection of citizens to the mythical violence of the nation-state. The thesis concludes by asserting that this particular conceptualization of the nation proves useful for qualifying the understanding of contemporary politics in general and the arguments about the decline of the nation in particular.

description: We prove, for a sufficiently small subset $\mathcal{A}$ of a prime residue field, an estimate on the number of solutions to the equation $(a_1-a_2)(a_3-a_4) = (a_5-a_6)(a_7-a_8)$ with all variables in $\mathcal{A}$. We then derive new bounds on trilinear exponential sums and on the total number of residues equaling the product of two differences of elements of $\mathcal{A}$. We also prove a refined estimate on the number of collinear triples in a Cartesian product of multiplicative subgroups and derive stronger bounds for trilinear sums with all variables in multiplicative subgroups.

description: We use the archive of the Bamberg Sky Patrol to obtain light curves of the active K subgiant CF Octantis for the interval 1964-1976. Digitised images of the field near CF Oct were obtained with a flat-bed scanner. Aperture photometry was performed of photo-positives of these images. Using a transformation to second order in plate magnitude, and first order in B-V, for 9 field stars for each plate, the B magnitudes of CF Octantis were obtained for just over 350 plates. The estimated precision of an individual determination of the B magnitude of CF Oct is 0.05 mag. Analysis of the resulting data reveals the known 20 d rotational variation of this star, and shows the evolution of the light curves from year to year. We obtain light curves with good phase coverage for 1964 to 1969 inclusive, partial light curves for 1970 and 1976, and a few data points from 1971. The amplitude of variation ranges from ~0.2 to \~0.4 mag. There is evidence that the characteristic rotation period of the star in the 1960s was slightly less than that measured from photoelectric photometry in the 1980s.

description: The paper aims to present the results of the research of agri-business operation efficiency in Ukraine. The research underlines the analysis of the conditions of the above mentioned sector of economy especially agriculture and food processing industry as well as consideration of factors affecting their functioning and underused potential of the industries. The export activities in the country related to the movement and processing of farm products have been thoroughly analyzed. The estimation of lost benefits in the form of lost added value from under conversion of the grain sold abroad. On the basis of the conducted research we have made a conclusion that agrarian sector of economy can work as a guarantee for the national safety of Ukraine today. The analysis of dualization phenomenon in agrarian economy, its reasons and consequences and possibility for regulation has been carried out. The state support of agri-business and the role of this sector of economy in the euro integration process of Ukraine have been considered. The impact of the economic situation in Ukraine on the efficiency of agribusiness operation has been also revealed.

description: We compute the cross section for exclusive double-diffractive gamma-gamma production at the Tevatron, $p{\bar p} \to p + γγ+ {\bar p}$, and the LHC. We evaluate both the gluon-gluon and quark-antiquark t-channel exchange contributions to the process. The observation of exclusive gamma-gamma production at the Tevatron will provide a check on the model predictions, and offer an opportunity to confirm the expectations for exclusive double-diffractive Higgs production at the LHC.
