Blood Flow and Blood Pressure Investigation in Down syndrome or Trisomy 21: FBI21
Creators: name: Sherman, Sara Rae
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: INTRODUCTION: Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) have a reduced work capacity that stems in part from autonomic dysfunction. Autonomic dysfunction may impair the ability to regulate blood flow and blood pressure to working muscles during exercise, which may cause a mismatch between oxygen supply and demand. Our purpose was to comprehensively evaluate blood flow and pressure regulation through two separate research aims: 1) Lower limb dynamic exercise in both relative and absolute intensity workloads on femoral blood flow; 2) Lower limb isometric exercise on the exercise pressor reflex, in individuals with and without DS.

METHODS: Twenty-four individuals with DS (M/F: 13/11; 24 ± 5 years; 30.3 ± 6.2 kg/m^2) and without DS (M/F: 13/11; 25 ± 4 years; 26.5 ± 4.5 kg/m^2) completed two visits. Aim 1) participants performed unilateral isotonic knee extensions at 10%, 20%, and 30% of their maximal dynamic power, and at 11 Nm and 16 Nm using their dominant leg on a leg dynamometer. Femoral blood flow was measured using Doppler ultrasound. Aim 2) participants performed 2 minutes of unilateral isometric knee extension at 30% of their maximal voluntary contraction before rapid inflation of a thigh cuff occurred for 3 minutes to isolate the activation of the muscle metaboreflex via post-exercise muscle ischemia (PEMI). Beat-to-beat mean arterial pressure (MAP) was assessed using finger photoplethysmography.

RESULTS: Aim 1) Individuals with DS demonstrated blunted femoral blood flow compared to individuals without DS at all relative and absolute intensity workloads (group x time interaction, p<0.001). Aim 2) Individuals with DS demonstrated an attenuated pressor response to unilateral isometric knee extension (MAP; DS: 103 ± 14 vs. Non-DS: 125 ± 19 mmHg), and the reduced MAP response was maintained into PEMI (MAP; DS: 95 ± 13 vs. Non-DS: 106 ± 18 mmHg; group x time interaction, p<0.001).

CONCLUSIONS: These data indicate that individuals with DS were unable to adequately direct blood flow to working muscles that could be due to a blunted exercise pressor response that stems from a dampened metaboreflex. These findings contribute to some of the physiological underpinnings of a reduced work capacity observed in individuals with DS.

description: Using soft-collinear effective theory we describe at leading order in 1/m_b all the semi-inclusive hadronic B -> XM decays near the endpoint, where an energetic light meson M recoils against an inclusive jet X. We also include the decays involving eta, eta' mesons that receive additional contributions from gluonic operators. The predicted branching ratios and CP asymmetries depend on fewer hadronic parameters than the corresponding two-body B decays. This makes semi-inclusive hadronic B -> XM decays a powerful probe of the potential nonperturbative nature of charming penguins as well as a useful probe of new physics effects in electroweak flavor changing transitions. A comparison with B -> KX data from BaBar points to an enhanced charming penguin, albeit with large experimental errors.

description: We study in detail the dynamic scaling of the three-dimensional (3D) Ising model driven through its critical point on finite-size lattices and show that a series of new critical exponents are needed to account for the anomalous scalings originating from breaking of self-similarity of the so-called phases fluctuations. Our results demonstrate that new exponents are generally required for scaling in the whole driven process once the lattice size or an externally applied field are taken into account. These open a new door in critical phenomena and suggest that much is yet to be explored in driven nonequilibrium critical phenomena.

description: Gallium arsenide nanowires were synthesized by gallium-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. By varying the growth time, nanowires with diameters ranging from 30 to 160 nm were obtained. Raman spectra of the nanowires ensembles were measured. The small line width of the optical phonon modes agree with an excellent crystalline quality. A surface phonon mode was also revealed, as a shoulder at lower frequencies of the longitudinal optical mode. In agreement with the theory, the surface mode shifts to lower wave numbers when the diameter of the nanowires is decreased or the environment dielectric constant increased.

description: Given a textual phrase and an image, the visual grounding problem is the task of locating the content of the image referenced by the sentence. It is a challenging task that has several real-world applications in human-computer interaction, image-text reference resolution, and video-text reference resolution. In the last years, several works have addressed this problem by proposing more and more large and complex models that try to capture visual-textual dependencies better than before. These models are typically constituted by two main components that focus on how to learn useful multi-modal features for grounding and how to improve the predicted bounding box of the visual mention, respectively. Finding the right learning balance between these two sub-tasks is not easy, and the current models are not necessarily optimal with respect to this issue. In this work, we propose a loss function based on bounding boxes classes probabilities that: (i) improves the bounding boxes selection; (ii) improves the bounding boxes coordinates prediction. Our model, although using a simple multi-modal feature fusion component, is able to achieve a higher accuracy than state-of-the-art models on two widely adopted datasets, reaching a better learning balance between the two sub-tasks mentioned above.

description: We describe our software package Block Locally Optimal Preconditioned Eigenvalue Xolvers (BLOPEX) publicly released recently. BLOPEX is available as a stand-alone serial library, as an external package to PETSc (``Portable, Extensible Toolkit for Scientific Computation'', a general purpose suite of tools for the scalable solution of partial differential equations and related problems developed by Argonne National Laboratory), and is also built into {\it hypre} (``High Performance Preconditioners'', scalable linear solvers package developed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory). The present BLOPEX release includes only one solver--the Locally Optimal Block Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient (LOBPCG) method for symmetric eigenvalue problems. {\it hypre} provides users with advanced high-quality parallel preconditioners for linear systems, in particular, with domain decomposition and multigrid preconditioners. With BLOPEX, the same preconditioners can now be efficiently used for symmetric eigenvalue problems. PETSc facilitates the integration of independently developed application modules with strict attention to component interoperability, and makes BLOPEX extremely easy to compile and use with preconditioners that are available via PETSc. We present the LOBPCG algorithm in BLOPEX for {\it hypre} and PETSc. We demonstrate numerically the scalability of BLOPEX by testing it on a number of distributed and shared memory parallel systems, including a Beowulf system, SUN Fire 880, an AMD dual-core Opteron workstation, and IBM BlueGene/L supercomputer, using PETSc domain decomposition and {\it hypre} multigrid preconditioning. We test BLOPEX on a model problem, the standard 7-point finite-difference approximation of the 3-D Laplacian, with the problem size in the range $10^5-10^8$.

description: Radiative decays of pseudoscalar and vector mesons are calculated in the framework of the chiral Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. We use the amplitude for triangle quark loops of anomalous type. In evaluating these loop integrals we use two methods. In the first one, we neglect the dependence of external momenta by reproducing the Wess-Zumino-Witten terms of effective chiral meson Lagrangian. In the second method, we take into account the momentum dependence of loop integrals omitting their imaginary part. This makes it possible to allow for quark confinement. As applied both the methods is in qualitative agreement with each other and with experimental data. The second method allows us to describe the electron-positron annihilation with production of $η'$ and $ρ$ mesons in the center of mass energy range from 1.6 to 3.5$\GeV$. The comparison with the recent experimental data is presented.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The process of adjustment of immigrants into Canadian society is an important economic, social, political and cultural issue; politicians, researchers and practitioners are trying to coordinate their efforts into making this process smoother and easier for the immigrants. The present study which employed exploratory, qualitative methods solicited the perceptions of immigrants regarding their adjustment process and also the perceptions of multicultural/resettlement workers as part of the process. Eighteen immigrants ( male, female ), from diverse continents, countries, age, sex, professions and education were interviewed and asked to fill out 2 Hudson scales (GCS and ISE). Ten multicultural/resettlement workers had answered a 23 item questionnaire. Major psychosocial aspects related to adjustment are described as elicited from the data and literature research. Implications for social work practice are outlined. It was found that attention to a systems framework for viewing the individual multidimensional problems/interactions is important when considering the adjustment process (which is a difficult process as the interviewers described it). The interviewed people manifested grateful consideration of the government efforts toward the distribution of benefits and opportunities to newly arrived immigrants in Canadian society. The interviewed people who had had the opportunity to have a host expressed their appreciation to the Host Program offered through Immigrant Services Society. Implications for the social work profession, issues related to an ethnic sensitive approach at the micro and the macro level are presented.

description: In realistic continuous variable quantum key distribution protocols, an eavesdropper may exploit the additional Gaussian noise generated during transmission to mask her presence. We present a theoretical framework for a post-selection based protocol which explicitly takes into account excess Gaussian noise. We derive a quantitative expression of the secret key rates based on the Levitin and Holevo bounds. We experimentally demonstrate that the post-selection based scheme is still secure against both individual and collective Gaussian attacks in the presence of this excess noise.

Two-Photon Beatings Using Biphotons Generated from a Two-Level System

description: We propose a two-photon beating experiment based upon biphotons generated from a resonant pumping two-level system operating in a backward geometry. On the one hand, the linear optical-response leads biphotons produced from two sidebands in the Mollow triplet to propagate with tunable refractive indices, while the central-component propagates with unity refractive index. The relative phase difference due to different refractive indices is analogous to the pathway-length difference between long-long and short-short in the original Franson interferometer. By subtracting the linear Rayleigh scattering of the pump, the visibility in the center part of the two-photon beating interference can be ideally manipulated among [0, 100%] by varying the pump power, the material length, and the atomic density, which indicates a Bell-type inequality violation. On the other hand, the proposed experiment may be an interesting way of probing the quantum nature of the detection process. The interference will disappear when the separation of the Mollow peaks approaches the fundamental timescales for photon absorption in the detector.

description: This article addresses extraction of physically meaningful information from STEM EELS and EDX spectrum-images using methods of Multivariate Statistical Analysis. The problem is interpreted in terms of data distribution in a multi-dimensional factor space, which allows for a straightforward and intuitively clear comparison of various approaches. A new computationally efficient and robust method for finding physically meaningful endmembers in spectrum-image datasets is presented. The method combines the geometrical approach of Vertex Component Analysis with the statistical approach of Bayesian inference. The algorithm is described in detail at an example of EELS spectrum-imaging of a multi-compound CMOS transistor.

description: Let $C_a$ be the central Cantor set obtained by removing a central interval of length $1-2a$ from the unit interval, and continuing this process inductively on each of the remaining two intervals. We prove that if $\log b/\log a$ is irrational, then \[ \dim(C_a+C_b) = \min(\dim(C_a) + \dim(C_b),1), \] where $\dim$ is Hausdorff dimension. More generally, given two self-similar sets $K,K'$ in $\RR$ and a scaling parameter $s>0$, if the dimension of the arithmetic sum $K+sK'$ is strictly smaller than $\dim(K)+\dim(K') \le 1$ (``geometric resonance''), then there exists $r<1$ such that all contraction ratios of the similitudes defining $K$ and $K'$ are powers of $r$ (``algebraic resonance''). Our method also yields a new result on the projections of planar self-similar sets generated by an iterated function system that includes a scaled irrational rotation.

description: In this paper, the design of a rational decision support system (RDSS) for a connected and autonomous vehicle charging infrastructure (CAV-CI) is studied. In the considered CAV-CI, the distribution system operator (DSO) deploys electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) to provide an EV charging facility for human-driven connected vehicles (CVs) and autonomous vehicles (AVs). The charging request by the human-driven EV becomes irrational when it demands more energy and charging period than its actual need. Therefore, the scheduling policy of each EVSE must be adaptively accumulated the irrational charging request to satisfy the charging demand of both CVs and AVs. To tackle this, we formulate an RDSS problem for the DSO, where the objective is to maximize the charging capacity utilization by satisfying the laxity risk of the DSO. Thus, we devise a rational reward maximization problem to adapt the irrational behavior by CVs in a data-informed manner. We propose a novel risk adversarial multi-agent learning system (RAMALS) for CAV-CI to solve the formulated RDSS problem. In RAMALS, the DSO acts as a centralized risk adversarial agent (RAA) for informing the laxity risk to each EVSE. Subsequently, each EVSE plays the role of a self-learner agent to adaptively schedule its own EV sessions by coping advice from RAA. Experiment results show that the proposed RAMALS affords around 46.6% improvement in charging rate, about 28.6% improvement in the EVSE's active charging time and at least 33.3% more energy utilization, as compared to a currently deployed ACN EVSE system, and other baselines.

description: Using an exact numerical method for finite nonplanar objects, we demonstrate a stable mechanical suspension of a silica cylinder within a metallic cylinder separated by ethanol, via a repulsive Casimir force between the silica and the metal. We investigate cylinders with both circular and square cross sections, and show that the latter exhibit a stable orientation as well as a stable position, via a method to compute Casimir torques for finite objects. Furthermore, the stable orientation of the square cylinder is shown to undergo an unusual 45 degrees transition as a function of the separation lengthscale, which is explained as a consequence of material dispersion.

description: In addition to the boosted static solution there are two other classes of stationary string-like solutions of the vacuum Einstein equation in (4+1)-dimensions. Each class is characterized by three parameters of mass, tension, and momentum flow along the fifth coordinate. We analyze the metric properties of one of the two classes, which was previously assumed to be naked singular, and show that the solution spectrum contains black string and wormhole in addition to the known naked singularity as the momentum flow to mass ratio increases. Interestingly, there does not exist new zero momentum solution in these cases.

description: Existing models of multilingual sentence embeddings require large parallel data resources which are not available for low-resource languages. We propose a novel unsupervised method to derive multilingual sentence embeddings relying only on monolingual data. We first produce a synthetic parallel corpus using unsupervised machine translation, and use it to fine-tune a pretrained cross-lingual masked language model (XLM) to derive the multilingual sentence representations. The quality of the representations is evaluated on two parallel corpus mining tasks with improvements of up to 22 F1 points over vanilla XLM. In addition, we observe that a single synthetic bilingual corpus is able to improve results for other language pairs.

description: In the past several decades there have been a number of proposals for computing with dual forms of non-abelian Yang-Mills theories on the lattice. Motivated by the gauge-invariant, geometric picture offered by dual models and successful applications of duality in the U(1) case, we revisit the question of whether it is practical to perform numerical computation using non-abelian dual models. Specifically, we consider three-dimensional SU(2) pure Yang-Mills as an accessible yet non-trivial case in which the gauge group is non-abelian. Using methods developed recently in the context of spin foam quantum gravity, we derive an algorithm for efficiently computing the dual amplitude and describe Metropolis moves for sampling the dual ensemble. We relate our algorithms to prior work in non-abelian dual computations of Hari Dass and his collaborators, addressing several problems that have been left open. We report results of spin expectation value computations over a range of lattice sizes and couplings that are in agreement with our conventional lattice computations. We conclude with an outlook on further development of dual methods and their application to problems of current interest.

description: A new transmission-type electron multiplier was fabricated from silicon-on-insulator (SOI) material by integrating an array of one dimensional (1D) silicon nanopillars onto a two dimensional (2D) silicon membrane. Primary electrons are injected into the nanopillar-membrane system from the flat surface of the membrane, while electron emission from the other side is probed by an anode. The secondary electron yield (SEY) from nanopillars is found to be about 1.8 times that of plane silicon membrane. This gain in electron number is slightly enhanced by the electric field applied from the anode. Further optimization of the dimensions of nanopillars and membrane and application of field emission promise an even higher gain for detector applications and allow for probing of electronic/mechanical excitations in nanopillar-membrane system excited by incident particles or radiation.

description: Higgs singlet superfields are usually present in most extensions of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) that address the mu-problem, such as the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM) and the Minimal Nonminimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MNSSM). Employing a gauge- and flavour-covariant effective Lagrangian formalism, we show how the singlet Higgs bosons of such theories can have significant contributions to B-meson flavour-changing neutral current (FCNC) observables for large values of $\tanβ\stackrel{>}{{}_\sim} 50$ at the 1-loop level. Illustrative results are presented including effects on the B_s and B_d mass differences and on the rare decay $B_s\toμ^+μ^-$. In particular, we find that depending on the actual value of the lightest singlet pseudoscalar mass in the NMSSM, the branching ratio for $B_s\toμ^+μ^-$ can be enhanced or even suppressed with respect to the Standard Model prediction by more than one order of magnitude.

description: Prostate cancer is one of the main diseases affecting men worldwide. The gold standard for diagnosis and prognosis is the Gleason grading system. In this process, pathologists manually analyze prostate histology slides under microscope, in a high time-consuming and subjective task. In the last years, computer-aided-diagnosis (CAD) systems have emerged as a promising tool that could support pathologists in the daily clinical practice. Nevertheless, these systems are usually trained using tedious and prone-to-error pixel-level annotations of Gleason grades in the tissue. To alleviate the need of manual pixel-wise labeling, just a handful of works have been presented in the literature. Motivated by this, we propose a novel weakly-supervised deep-learning model, based on self-learning CNNs, that leverages only the global Gleason score of gigapixel whole slide images during training to accurately perform both, grading of patch-level patterns and biopsy-level scoring. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we perform extensive experiments on three different external datasets for the patch-level Gleason grading, and on two different test sets for global Grade Group prediction. We empirically demonstrate that our approach outperforms its supervised counterpart on patch-level Gleason grading by a large margin, as well as state-of-the-art methods on global biopsy-level scoring. Particularly, the proposed model brings an average improvement on the Cohen's quadratic kappa (k) score of nearly 18% compared to full-supervision for the patch-level Gleason grading task.
Noncommutative Induced Gauge Theories on Moyal Spaces

description: Noncommutative field theories on Moyal spaces can be conveniently handled within a framework of noncommutative geometry. Several renormalisable matter field theories that are now identified are briefly reviewed. The construction of renormalisable gauge theories on these noncommutative Moyal spaces, which remains so far a challenging problem, is then closely examined. The computation in 4-D of the one-loop effective gauge theory generated from the integration over a scalar field appearing in a renormalisable theory minimally coupled to an external gauge potential is presented. The gauge invariant effective action is found to involve, beyond the expected noncommutative version of the pure Yang-Mills action, additional terms that may be interpreted as the gauge theory counterpart of the harmonic term, which for the noncommutative $ϕ^4$-theory on Moyal space ensures renormalisability. A class of possible candidates for renormalisable gauge theory actions defined on Moyal space is presented and discussed.

description: Deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) devices separate micrometer-scale particles in solution based on their size using a laminar microfluidic flow in an array of obstacles. We investigate array geometries with rational row-shift fractions in DLD devices by use of a simple model including both advection and diffusion. Our model predicts novel multi-directional sorting modes that could be experimentally tested in high-throughput DLD devices containing obstacles that are much smaller than the separation between obstacles.
Targeted job creation : one federal response to long term unemployment
Creators: name: Harper, Mary Jane
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Since 1985, the direct job creation efforts of the federal government have been targeted on the long term unemployed, under the Job Development Program, in response to the increased incidence of long term unemployment since the recession. This research was initiated to provide early feedback on a program of individually subsidized jobs, as a demand-side employment initiative targeted on individuals who had been unemployed for approximately six months. The research was a descriptive analysis of the experience of 64 program participants, in an area of Vancouver with a high ethnic population where there is traditionally high unemployment. An experimental, uncontrolled, single group design was used to compare client characteristics as program input, as well as program intervention, agency administration and labour market conditions, to program outcomes. The variable that demonstrated the strongest association with outcome was the relative demand for labour in the local labour market in which the job had been subsidized. There was also evidence from the research that factors within the subsidized job setting may influence the successful re-adaptation of long term unemployed individuals into the work force. The opportunity for career advancement as well as supervision on-the-job that is supportive of the individual who is re-adapting to a work environment, was each positively-correlated with program outcome. While the results were inconclusive for some of the client characteristics measured in the study, others were clearly found to be poor predictors of program success. Targeted job creation strategies like the Individually Subsidized Job program, respond not only to cyclical unemployment but address issues of structural unemployment through the targeting of these employment initiatives on employment disadvantaged groups. Although only tentative judgements can be drawn from the research, it suggests that program administration which is sensitive to labour market conditions, as well as to conditions within the job site itself, may improve the outcome of public employment initiatives.
Medication Adherence among Thai Adolescents with Major Depressive Disorder
Creators: name: Inwanna, Suchanart
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

description: Purpose: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is common in adolescents worldwide, and often requires regular taking of medication. In Thailand, medication adherence rates among adolescents with MDD are low. International studies have identified factors influencing medication adherence, including family involvement, but none have focused on Thai adolescents. Therefore, this study used the Individual and Family Self-management Theory (IFSMT) to identify factors associated with medication adherence among Thai adolescents with MDD.
Methods: A cross-sectional, quantitative design was used to examine relationships between key IFSMT factors and medication adherence behaviors among Thai adolescents and their legal guardians. A survey of 146 adolescent-legal guardian dyads was conducted using purposive sampling at two psychiatric outpatient clinics in Thailand. Written informed assent and consent were obtained before survey completion.
Results: Adolescent participants’ (n = 146) mean age was 16.16 years (SD = 1.58), with 71.92% being female and 62.33% being high school students. Legal guardian participants’ (n = 146) mean age was 48.62 years (SD = 6.73), 77.40% were female, and 90.41% were parents of adolescent participants. About 80% of adolescents exhibited low medication adherence. The study identified three significant context factors influencing medication adherence: experiencing antidepressant side effects, adolescents’ medication preferences, and their legal guardians’ medication preferences. Self-management process factors significantly associated with medication adherence included adolescents’ beliefs about the need for medication and medication concerns, legal guardians’ beliefs about the need for medication, and adolescents’ perceived levels of social support. Hierarchical multiple regression revealed that significant context factors alone explained 14.1% of the variance in medication adherence (Model 1). Adding self-management process factors (Model 2) explained 32.5% of the variance, increasing the explained variance by 18.4%. Consequently, self-management process factors in Model 2 accounted for most of the effects of the context factors in Model 1.
Conclusion: To improve medication adherence among Thai adolescents with MDD, clinicians should assess their and their legal guardians’ knowledge of antidepressant side effects, treatment preferences, medication beliefs, and social support. These insights can inform development of effective interventions. Future research in this area should use longitudinal approaches and include objective measures along with self-reports.

description: Theoretical investigations show that linearly and radially polarized multiterawatt and petawatt laser beams, focused to subwavelength waist radii, can directly accelerate protons and carbon nuclei, over micron-size distances, to the energies required for hadron cancer therapy. Ions accelerated by radially polarized lasers have generally a more favorable energy spread than those accelerated by linearly polarized lasers of the same intensity.

description: In this work we deal with the Hénon and the Lozi map for a choice of parameters where they show transient chaos. Orbits close to the chaotic saddle behave chaotically for a while to eventually escape to an external attractor. Traditionally, to prevent such an escape, the partial control technique has been applied. This method stands out for considering disturbances (noise) affecting the map and for finding a special region of the phase space, called the safe set, where the control required to sustain the orbits is small. However, in this work we will apply a new approach of the partial control method that has been recently developed. This new approach is based on finding a special function called the safety function, which allows to automatically find the minimum control necessary to avoid the escape of the orbits. Furthermore, we will show the strong connection between the safety function and the classical safe set. To illustrate that, we will compute for the first time, safety functions for the two-dimensional Hénon and Lozi maps, where we also show the strong dependence of this function with the magnitude of disturbances affecting the map, and how this change drastically impacts the controlled orbits.

description: We numerically investigate quantum diffusion of an electron in a model of poly(dG)-poly(dC) and poly(dA)-poly(dT) DNA polymers with fluctuation of the parameters due to the impact of colored noise. The randomness is introduced by fluctuations of distance between two consecutive bases along the stacked base pairs. We demonstrate that in the model the decay time of the correlation can control the spread of the electronic wavepacket. Furthermore it is shown that in a motional narrowing regime the averaging over fluctuation causes ballistic propagation of the wavepacket, and in the adiabatic regime the electronic states are affected by localization.
