description: We present a new expression for the energy of the lowest collective states in even-even nuclei throughout the entire periodic table. Our empirical formula is extremely valid and holds universally for all of the natural parity even multipole states. This formula depends only on the mass number and the valence nucleon numbers with six parameters. These parameters are determined easily and unambiguously from the data for each multipole state. We discuss the validity of our empirical formula by comparing our results with those of other studies and also by estimating the average and the dispersion of the logarithmic errors of the calculated excitation energies with respect to the measured ones.

description: We perform a systemical investigation of the low-lying doubly-heavy dibaryon systems with strange $S=0$, isospin $I=0$, $1$, $2$ and the angular momentum $J=0$, $1$, $2$, $3$ in the quark delocalization color screening model. We find the effect of channel-coupling cannot be neglected in the study of the multi-quark systems. Due to the heavy flavor symmetry, the results of the doubly-charm and doubly-bottom dibaryon systems are similar with each other. Both of them have three bound states, the quantum numbers of which are $IJ=00$, $IJ=02$ and $IJ=13$, respectively. The energies are $4554$ MeV, $4741$ MeV, and $4969$ MeV respectively for the doubly-charm systems and $11219$ MeV, $11416$ MeV, and $11633$ MeV respectively for the doubly-bottom dibaryon systems. Besides, six resonance states are obtained, which are $IJ=00$ $NΞ_{cc}$ and $NΞ_{bb}$ with resonance mass of $4716$ MeV and $11411$ MeV respectively, $IJ=11$ $NΞ^*_{cc}$ and $NΞ^*_{bb}$ with resonance mass of $4757$ MeV and $11432$ MeV respectively, and $IJ=12$ $Σ_{c}Σ^*_{c}$ and $Σ_{b}Σ^*_{b}$ with resonance mass of $4949$ MeV and $11626$ MeV respectively. All these heavy dibaryons are worth searching for on experiments, although it will be a challenging work.

Detection of a mutation in a human LCAT gene
Creators: name: Hornby, Ann Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: LCAT deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by low levels of plasma HDL and an inability of the enzyme lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) to esterify cholesterol. An understanding of the structure and function of the LCAT protein will add significantly to the understanding of reverse cholesterol transport. This understanding can be gained, in part, by studying different mutations within the LCAT gene and their resultant phenotypes. Recombinant DNA technology has been used to determine the nature of a mutation in an LCAT gene of a previously described homozygote with this disorder. Southern blot analysis determined there were no major rearrangements in the genomic DNA at the LCAT locus. An attempt was made to follow segregation of the mutant alleles in three generations of a large pedigree by linkage analysis. There are known polymorphisms at the haptoglobin (Hp) locus, which is linked to LCAT on the long arm of chromosome 16, and in the adenosine phosphoribotransferase (APRT) and choesterol ester transfer protein (CETP) loci which are also on the long arm of chromosome 16, but have not been shown linked to LCAT. The information gained was uninformative in this pedigree. An extensive restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) search in the immediate vicinity of the LCAT gene did not reveal any polymorphic sites. 2.4 kb of the ⋋ phage clone SF1020, obtained from one of the homozygotes, containing exons 1-5 plus 0.5 kb of DNA 5¹ to the LCAT gene, but not exon 6, was subcloned into M13 and sequenced. A cytosine to thymidine (C->T) transition was discovered in exon 4. This would result in a substitution of tryptophan for arginine at amino acid 135. The amino acid arginine is positively charged and resides in one of the most highly charged segments along the amino acid chain of the LCAT protein indicating that this region is likely involved in protein folding. Tryptophan, on the other hand is the most hydrophobic of the amino acids and would, therefore, severely disrupt the interaction of charged amino acids in that region, preventing normal folding of the LCAT protein.

description: The continuous Multiscale Entanglement Renormalization Ansatz (cMERA) [Haegeman et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 100402 (2013)] gives a variational wavefunctional for ground states of quantum field theoretic Hamiltonians. A cMERA is defined as the result of applying to a reference unentangled state a unitary evolution generated by a quasilocal operator, the entangler. This makes the extension of the formalism to the case where boundaries and defects are present nontrivial. Here we show how this generalization works, using the 1+1d free boson cMERA as a proof-of-principle example, and restricting ourselves to conformal boundaries and defects. In our prescription, the presence of a boundary or defect induces a modification of the entangler localized only to its vicinity, in analogy with the so-called principle of minimal updates for the lattice tensor network MERA.

description: A wealth of geometric and combinatorial properties of a given linear endomorphism $X$ of $\R^N$ is captured in the study of its associated zonotope $Z(X)$, and, by duality, its associated hyperplane arrangement ${\cal H}(X)$. This well-known line of study is particularly interesting in case $n\eqbd\rank X \ll N$. We enhance this study to an algebraic level, and associate $X$ with three algebraic structures, referred herein as {\it external, central, and internal.} Each algebraic structure is given in terms of a pair of homogeneous polynomial ideals in $n$ variables that are dual to each other: one encodes properties of the arrangement ${\cal H}(X)$, while the other encodes by duality properties of the zonotope $Z(X)$. The algebraic structures are defined purely in terms of the combinatorial structure of $X$, but are subsequently proved to be equally obtainable by applying suitable algebro-analytic operations to either of $Z(X)$ or ${\cal H}(X)$. The theory is universal in the sense that it requires no assumptions on the map $X$ (the only exception being that the algebro-analytic operations on $Z(X)$ yield sought-for results only in case $X$ is unimodular), and provides new tools that can be used in enumerative combinatorics, graph theory, representation theory, polytope geometry, and approximation theory.

description: Reversible hydrogen uptake and the metal/dielectric transition make the Mg/MgH$_2$ system a prime candidate for solid state hydrogen storage and dynamic plasmonics. However, high dehydrogenation temperatures and slow dehydrogenation hamper broad applicability. One promising strategy to improve dehydrogenation is the formation of metastable $γ$-MgH$_2$. A nanoparticle (NP) design, where $γ$-MgH$_2$ forms intrinsically during hydrogenation is presented and a formation mechanism based on transmission electron microscopy results is proposed.Volume expansion during hydrogenation causes compressive stress within the confined, anisotropic NPs, leading to plastic deformation of $β$-MgH$_2$ via (301) $β$ twinning. It is proposed that these twins nucleate $γ$-MgH$_2$ nanolamellas, which are stabilized by residual compressive stress. Understanding this mechanism is a crucial step toward cycle-stable, Mg-based dynamic plasmonic and hydrogen-storage materials with improved dehydrogenation. It is envisioned that a more general design of confined NPs utilizes the inherent volume expansion to reform $γ$-MgH$_2$ during each rehydrogenation

description: The $Δ_3(L)$ statistic characterizes the fluctuations of the number of levels as a function of the length of the spectral interval. It is studied as a possible tool to indicate the regular or chaotic nature of underlying dynamics, detect missing levels and the mixing of sequences of levels of different symmetry, particularly in neutron resonance data. The relation between the ensemble average and the average over different fragments of a given realization of spectra is considered. A useful expression for the variance of $Δ_3(L)$ which accounts for finite sample size is discussed. An analysis of neutron resonance data presents the results consistent with a maximum likelihood method applied to the level spacing distribution.

description: [abridged] We present the results of a spectroscopic survey of the recently discovered faint Milky Way satellites Boo, UMaI, UMaII and Wil1. Using the DEIMOS spectrograph on Keck, we have obtained samples that contain from 15 to 85 probable members of these satellites for which we derive radial velocities precise to a few km/s down to i~21-22. About half of these stars are observed with a high enough S/N to estimate their metallicity to within \pm0.2 dex. From this dataset, we show that UMaII is the only object that does not show a clear radial velocity peak. However, the measured systemic radial velocity (v_r=115\pm5 km/s) is in good agreement with recent simulations in which this object is the progenitor of the recently discovered Orphan Stream. The three other satellites show velocity dispersions that make them highly dark-matter dominated systems. In particular the Willman 1 object is not a globular cluster given its metallicity scatter over -2.0

description: The corrugated horn is a high performance feed often used in radio telescopes. There has been a growing demand for wideband optics and corrugated horns in millimeter and submillimeter-wave receivers. It improves the observation efficiency and allows us to observe important emission lines such as CO in multiple excited states simultaneously. However, in the millimeter/submillimeter band, it has been challenging to create a conical corrugated horn with a fractional bandwidth of ~60% because the wavelength is very short, making it difficult to make narrow corrugations. In this study, we designed a conical corrugated horn with good return loss, low cross-polarization, and symmetric beam pattern in the 210-375GHz band (56% fractional bandwidth) by optimizing the dimensions of the corrugations. The corrugated horn was installed on the Osaka 1.85-m mm-submm telescope with the matched frequency-independent optics, and simultaneous observations of 12CO, 13CO, and C18O (J = 2-1, 3-2) were successfully made. In this paper, we describe the new design of the corrugated horn and report the performance evaluation results including the optics.

Party cohesion in the early post-Confederation period
Creators: name: Eggleston, Stephen David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This paper critically re-examines the long held belief that parties in the first decade after Confederation were rather loose coalitions of provincial and ethnic factions, and that they were, on the whole, rather undisciplined. Taking as the focus for criticism Escott Reid's work during the 1930's on the development of national parties in Canada, this paper first presents his arguments (and of those who accept his thesis); following this perusal, the paper turns to the creation and examination of an "alternative thesis", one which argues that parties in the early post-Confederation period were, in fact, fairly cohesive. Unlike most other work done in this area, this paper is based largely upon an analysis of empirical evidence. The core of this paper lies in a comprehensive examination of the individual and collective voting behaviour of all M.P.'s on all divisions recorded during each of the first three parliaments (1867-1872; 1872-1874; 1874-1878). By undertaking such an examination it is possible to discern precisely the degree to which parties were, or were not, fairly cohesive voting blocs. In addition to examining the overall loyalty of M.P.'s to their party leader, a number of highly salient and critical issues have been singled out for further examination. The findings of this paper prove quite interesting. Contrary to orthodox opinion, we find that the two parties were, in fact, fairly cohesive voting blocs even as early as 1867. The main core of Reid's thesis having been critically reexamined (and somewhat disproved) the writer turns to a critique of several of Reid's other arguments. While the arguments presented by the writer are largely of a speculative nature, their intended purpose is merely to present alternatives to those presented by Reid, and to show that there may be other explanations for the supposed tightening up of party lines after 1878.
Toric Vector Bundles, Concentration Conditions, and Schur Log-Concavity
Creators: name: Wu, Kuang-Yu
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: In the first part (Chapter 3), we give a simple combinatorial proof of the toric version of Mori's theorem that the only smooth projective varieties with ample tangent bundle are the projective spaces $\mathbb{P}^n$.

In the second part (Chapter 4), we define a new notion of affine subspace concentration conditions for lattice polytopes and prove that these conditions hold for smooth and reflexive polytopes with barycenter at the origin. Our proof involves considering the slope stability of the canonical extension of the tangent bundle by the trivial line bundle with the extension class $c_1(\mathcal{T}_X)$ on Fano toric varieties.

In the third part (Chapter 5), we consider slope stability of the canonical extension of the tangent bundle by the trivial line bundle and with the extension class $c_1(\mathcal{T}_X)$ on Picard-rank-$1$ Fano varieties.
In cases where the index divides the dimension or the dimension plus one,
we show that stability of the tangent bundle implies (semi)stability of the canonical extension.
One consequence of our result is that the canonical extensions on moduli spaces of stable vector bundles with a fixed determinant on a curve are at least semistable,
and stable in some cases.

In the last part (Chapter 6), we consider derived polynomials $s_{\lambda}{(i)}$ $i=0,\ldots,|\lambda|$ associated to Schur polynomials $s_{\lambda}$ defined by the rule
$$s_{\lambda}(x_1+t,\ldots,x_n+t) = \sum_i s_{\lambda}^{(i)}(x_1,\ldots,x_n) t^i.$$
We conjecture that $$(s_{\lambda}^{(i)})^2 - s_{\lambda}^{(i-1)} s_{\lambda}^{(i+1)}$$ is always Schur positive and prove this when $i=1$ for rectangles $\lambda = (k^\ell)$, for hooks $\lambda = (k, 1^{\ell -1})$, and when $\lambda = (k,k,1)$ or $\lambda = (3,2^{k-1})$.

description: We present the results of spectral energy distribution analysis for 162 of the 405 sources reported in the SIMBA survey of Hill et al. (2005). The fits reveal source specific parameters including: the luminosity, mass, temperature, H$_2$ number density, the surface density and the luminosity-to-mass ratio. Each of these parameters are examined with respect to the four classes of source present in the sample. Obvious luminosity and temperature distinctions exist between the mm-only cores and those cores with methanol maser and/or radio continuum emission, with the former cooler and less luminous than the latter. The evidence suggests that the mm-only cores are a precursor to the methanol maser in the formation of massive stars. The mm-only cores comprise two distinct populations distinguished by temperature. Analysis and conclusions about the nature of the cool-mm and warm-mm cores comprising the mm-only population are drawn.

description: After the experimental realization, the Berry curvature dipole (BCD) induced nonlinear Hall effect (NLHE) has attracted tremendous interest to the condensed matter community. Here, we investigate another family of Hall effect, namely, chiral anomaly induced nonlinear Hall effect (CNHE) in multi-Weyl semimetal (mWSM). In contrast to the BCD induced NLHE, CNHE appears because of the combination of both chiral anomaly and anomalous velocity due to non-trivial Berry curvature. Using the semiclassical Boltzmann theory within the relaxation time approximation, we show that, in contrast to the chiral anomaly induced linear Hall effect, the magnitude of CNHE decreases with the topological charge n. Interestingly, we find that unlike the case of n=1, the CNHE has different behaviors in different planes. Our prediction on the behavior of CNHE in mWSM can directly be checked in experiments.

description: While the anomalous Hall effect can manifest even without an external magnetic field, time reversal symmetry is nonetheless still broken by the internal magnetization of the sample. Recently, it has been shown that certain materials without an inversion center allow for a nonlinear type of anomalous Hall effect whilst retaining time reversal symmetry. The effect may arise from either Berry curvature or through various asymmetric scattering mechanisms. Here, we report the observation of an extremely large $c$-axis nonlinear anomalous Hall effect in the non-centrosymmetric T$_d$ phase of MoTe$_2$ and WTe$_2$ without intrinsic magnetic order. We find that the effect is dominated by skew-scattering at higher temperatures combined with another scattering process active at low temperatures. Application of higher bias yields an extremely large Hall ratio of $E_\perp /E_\parallel$=2.47 and corresponding anomalous Hall conductivity of order 8x10$^7$S/m.

Complexity of Solution of Simultaneous Multivariate Polynomial Equations

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: General Mathematics (math.GM)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In this paper, an original reduction algorithm for solving simultaneous multivariate polynomial equations is presented. The algorithm is exponential in complexity, but the well-known algorithms, such as the extended Euclidean algorithm and Buchberger's algorithm, are superexponential. The superexponential complexity of the well-known algorithms is due to their not being "minimal" in a certain sense. Buchberger's algorithm produces a Groebner basis. The proposed original reduction algorithm achieves the required task, via computation of determinants of parametric Sylvester matrices, and produces a Rabin basis, which is shown to be minimal, when two multivariate polynomials are reduced at a time. The minimality of Rabin basis allows us to prove exponential lower bounds for the space complexity of an algebraic proof of certification, for a specific computational problem in the computational complexity class PSPACE, showing that the complexity classes PSPACE and P cannot be the same. By the same reasoning, it follows that Co-NP is not the same as either of the complexity classes NP and P, and that the polynomial time hierarchy does not collapse. It is also shown that the class BPP of languages decidable by bounded error probabilistic algorithms with (probabilistic) polynomial time proofs for the membership of input words is not the same as any one of the complexity classes P, NP and Co-NP. It follows again, from the discussions, that the complexity classes NP and P are not the same, by relativization of BPP, with respect to P and NP.

Investigating the Impact of Explicit and Implicit Memory on Decisions to Approach or Avoid Social Targets
Creators: name: Sklenar, Allison M.
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: Research shows many social factors influence decisions to approach or avoid social targets, but less research has directly investigated the impact of cognitive factors like memory. The goal of the current study was to investigate how both explicit and implicit memory for initial impressions influence approach/avoidance decisions and to test whether mouse-tracking could be used to measure the impact of implicit memory. In addition, this study examined the extent memory strength influenced the impact of memory on approach/avoidance decisions. In this investigation, participants viewed social targets represented by a picture and a trait-implying behavior and formed positive or negative impressions of targets viewed once (single presentation) or twice (double presentation). Participants completed explicit memory measures followed by an approach/avoidance task using a computer mouse as the mouse trajectory was tracked as a possible indicator of implicit memory. Results provided continued support for the impact of explicit memory on approach/avoidance decisions, such that correctly remembering positive impressions led to approach decisions and correctly remembering negative impressions led to avoidance decisions. Additionally, results showed a stronger impact of explicit memory for double- than single-presentation targets, suggesting that stronger memories have a larger effect on approach/avoidance decisions. The results did not support the impact of implicit memory on approach/avoidance decisions nor use of mouse-tracking to measure the impact of implicit memory. These findings add to the limited research exploring the impact of memory on approach/avoidance decisions, but continued work is needed to better understand memory and its influence on social processes.

description: Reconfiguration demand is increasing due to frequent requirement changes for manufacturing systems. Recent approaches aim at investigating feasible configuration alternatives from which they select the optimal one. This relies on processes whose behavior is not reliant on e.g. the production sequence. However, when machine learning is used, components' behavior depends on the process' specifics, requiring additional concepts to successfully conduct reconfiguration management. Therefore, we propose the enhancement of the comprehensive reconfiguration management with transfer learning. This provides the ability to assess the machine learning dependent behavior of the different CPPS configurations with reduced effort and further assists the recommissioning of the chosen one. A real cyber-physical production system from the discrete manufacturing domain is utilized to demonstrate the aforementioned proposal.

The primary function is to transport the human blood that's low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide to the pulmonary capillaries of the lungs for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, which is extremely important. One prerequisite step is to segment pulmonary artery structures from CT with high accuracy and low time-consumption. The segmentation of pulmonary artery structures benefits the quantification of its morphological changes for diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension and thoracic surgery. However, due to the complexity of pulmonary artery topology, automated segmentation of pulmonary artery topology is a challenging task.
 Besides, the open accessible large-scale CT data with well labeled pulmonary artery are scarce (The large variations of the topological structures from different patients make the annotation an extremely challenging process). The lack of well labeled pulmonary artery hinders the development of automatic pulmonary artery segmentation algorithm. Hence, we try to host the first Pulmonary ARtery SEgmentation challenge in MICCAI 2022 (Named Parse2022) to start a new research topic and make a solid benchmark for pulmonary artery segmentation task. We have collected 200 3D volumes with refined pulmonary artery labeling from 10 clinicians, 100 for the training dataset, 70 for the closed testing dataset and 30 for the opened validated dataset. Multi-level Dice, Multi-level HD95, Maximum used memory, and time-cost are adopted as evaluation metrics. This challenge will also promote the pulmonary disease treatment, interactions between researchers and interdisciplinary communication.

description: As the therapeutic use of cannabis increases, Americans are turning to nurses as sources of information about the safe and effective therapeutic use of cannabis. This study uses qualitative methods to explore how 31 highly educated and experienced American nurses used information practices to connect and interact with sources of cannabis information. By answering the question “What are information practices of cannabis nurses?,” the study addresses an unexplored gap in the research conversation among information scientists, nurse educators, and medicinal cannabis researchers. The aim of this study is to better understand cognitive authority and to examine how these nurses used information practices to learn how to be cannabis nurses. The study design used the McKenzie Information Practices Model (MIP) for data collection and analysis. The MIP model helped produce a rich description of the information practices of cannabis nurses. Findings show that cannabis nurses are using their information practices to locate cognitive authorities—that is, sources of secondhand knowledge whose facts and data about cannabis the nurses believed to be true. Findings also indicate that the nurses’ information practices create serendipitous social situations where they could reveal themselves as possible cognitive authorities for other cannabis information seekers. The analysis also produced findings concerning the barriers to learning the nurses encountered and their shared interpretative repertories—especially regarding the continued stigma against cannabis use. In addition, findings indicate, the cannabis nurses are acting as boundary spanners and peripheral specialists in the adoption of cannabis as a radical innovation in mainstream healthcare. This analysis also revealed the absence of cannabis care-specific information technology and decision support systems and the development of a network of practice. The implications are that cannabis nurses may be normalizing cannabis for their colleagues, a dynamic that may be leading to the adoption of cannabis therapeutics in mainstream medicine.

description: To understand the true nature of black holes, fundamental theoretical developments should be linked all the way to observational features of black holes in their natural astrophysical environments. Here, we take several steps to establish such a link. We construct a family of spinning, regular black-hole spacetimes based on a locality principle for new physics and analyze their shadow images. We identify characteristic image features associated to regularity (increased compactness and relative stretching) and to the locality principle (cusps and asymmetry) that persist in the presence of a simple analytical disk model. We conjecture that these occur as universal features of distinct classes of regular black holes based on different sets of construction principles for the corresponding spacetimes.

Effect of intercellular contact on radiation-induced DNA damage

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Chinese hamster V79-171B cells grown for about 24 hours in suspension culture display increased resistance to cell killing by ionizing radiation compared with cells grown as monolayers, an observation originally termed the "contact effect". More recently, development of that resistance was shown to be accompanied by changes in the conformation of the DNA which reduce its denaturation rate in high salt/weak alkali. These changes in DNA conformation, mediated by the cellular micro-environment, appear to be responsible for the contact effect. The conditions necessary for the development of the effect are not, however, completely understood. In particular, when cells grown as monolayers on petri plates are suspended in spinner culture flasks, their growth characteristics change in three distinct ways. First, cells in suspension no longer have a solid substrate, so they remain round. Second, after several hours, they begin to aggregate to form "spheroids", so that three-dimensional intercellular cell contact develops. Third, cells in the stirred suspension cultures are not subjected to high local concentrations of metabolic by-products or surrounded by a zone depleted of nutrients, as are cells in monolayer culture. The studies described here were designed to determine how each of these factors influence changes in DNA conformation, as assayed using the alkali unwinding technique. Our results indicated that a round shape may not be an essential requirement, since cells spread out on the surface of cytodex beads in suspension culture, and sparsely-seeded cells in monolayer culture demonstrated at least a partial contact effect. Three-dimensional intercellular contact does not always seem necessary for the development of the contact effect. Cells grown in a methyl cellulose matrix developed radioresistance, even though the cells formed only small clusters of less than five cells. Similarly, suspension culture cells which were prevented from aggregating by frequent exposure to trypsin, also developed the contact effect. There was no evidence that nutrient depletion plays a role in the failure of cells grown as monolayers to develop a contact effect. However, cells grown as spheroids in the presence of monolayer cells, or in monolayer cell-conditioned medium, did not display a full contact effect. This indicates a role for monolayer cell-produced factors (possibly extracellular matrix proteins) in preventing the development of the contact effect. We conclude that changes in DNA conformation and the increase in radiation resistance, seen in V79-171b cells grown as spheroids, are not the result of intercellular contact or round shape of the cells. This radioresistance appears to be the result of an absence of monolayer cell-produced factors which could control both cell shape and DNA conformation.

description: Virtualized Radio Access Network (vRAN) is one of the key enablers of future wireless networks as it brings the agility to the radio access network (RAN) architecture and offers degrees of design freedom. Yet, it also creates a challenging problem on how to design the functional split configuration. In this paper, a deep reinforcement learning approach is proposed to optimize function splitting in vRAN. A learning paradigm is developed that optimizes the location of functions in the RAN. These functions can be placed either at a central/cloud unit (CU) or a distributed unit (DU). This problem is formulated as constrained neural combinatorial reinforcement learning to minimize the total network cost. In this solution, a policy gradient method with Lagrangian relaxation is applied that uses a stacked long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network architecture to approximate the policy. Then, a sampling technique with a temperature hyperparameter is applied for the inference process. The results show that our proposed solution can learn the optimal function split decision and solve the problem with a $0.4\%$ optimality gap. Moreover, our method can reduce the cost by up to $320\%$ compared to a distributed-RAN (D-RAN). We also conclude that altering the traffic load and routing cost does not significantly degrade the optimality performance.

description: Η παρούσα διατριβή εισάγει τεχνικές για την αυστηρή και από κατασκευής ορθή σχεδίαση συστημάτων. Ειδικότερα, εστιάσαμε στο πώς μπορούμε να παράγουμε και να επικυρώνουμε ένα λειτουργικό μοντέλο της εφαρμογής που προκύπτει από ένα σύνολο απαιτήσεων ή από τον κώδικα της εφαρμογής. Αρχικά, ασχοληθήκαμε με την πρώιμη επικύρωση των απαιτήσεων και της σχεδίασης του συστήματος, ώστε να εξαλειφθεί η ανάγκη επαλήθευσης εκ των υστέρων και να περιοριστούν οι έλεγχοι επικύρωσης κατά τα τελευταία στάδια ανάπτυξης. Δεύτερον, εστιάσαμε στην αυτόματη δημιουργία λειτουργικών μοντέλων εφαρμογών από προγράμματα με εμφωλευμένη σύνταξη, διατηρώντας τη σημασιολογία των προγραμμάτων. Τέλος, προτείναμε μία ροή σχεδίασης που αποσκοπεί στη διατήρηση της συνέπειας μεταξύ του λειτουργικού μοντέλου και του κώδικα εφαρμογής μέσω της χρήσης μιας νέας γλώσσας ειδικού σκοπού, κατάλληλης για τη σχεδίαση συστημάτων περιορισμένων πόρων του διαδικτύου των αντικειμένων.
description: This thesis introduces correctness-by-construction techniques for rigorous system design. In particular, we focused on how to produce and validate a functional application model from a set of requirements or from application code. First, we dealt with the early validation of system requirements and design, in order to eliminate the need for a-posteriori verification at the later stages of development. Second, we focused on the automated generation of functional application models from programs with nested syntax, while maintaining the program semantics. Finally, we proposed a design flow that aims to maintain the consistency between the application model and the application code, using a new domain-specific language that focuses on the design of resource-constrained applications for the Internet of Things.
The genetics and embryopathology of exencephaly in SELH/Bc mice
Creators: name: Macdonald, Karen Beth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This project was the first study of the genetics and embryo-pathology of exencephaly in a partially inbred mouse stock, SELH/Bc. Exencephaly was found in 17% of SELH fetuses. Analysis of day 8-9 gestation embryos indicated that SELH embryos were collectively normal in general development, but delayed in neural tube closure relative to overall or general development compared to two normal strains of mice, ICR/Be and SWV/Bc. Exencephaly was observed to be caused by a failure of fusion of the cranial neural folds in the mesencephalon region in SELH. All SELH embryos appeared to be abnormal in their pattern of cranial neural tube closure. They fail to make initial contact at the prosencephalon/mesencephalon junction region of the cranial neural folds (the first fusion in the cranial neural folds in normal embryos). SELH embryos, fused their anterior neural folds via an alternate (possibly passive) mechanism compared to normal strains of mice (SWV/Bc, and ICR/Be), by fusing the folds in a "zipper-like" fashion from the rostral base of the prosencephalon. This closure of the neural tube in genetically liable embryos by an abnormal sequence of events suggests a new model for anterior neural tube closure failure. Liability to exencephaly appeared to be fixed in the SELH stock. Of the 53 SELH males tested, all produced exencephaly. SELH animals were found to be heterogeneous in the frequency of exencephaly they produced, indicating that there are still genes segregating in the stock which affect the ability of embryos to complete anterior neural tube closure. Exencephaly in SELH does not appear to be caused by an autosomal dominant, sex-linked dominant or recessive, or simple autosomal recessive single gene, although F2, BCl, and BC2 exencephaly frequencies (after an outcross to ICR/Be) suggest that only a small number of genes are involved. A marked excess of female exencephalics was observed in SELH, F2, BCl, and BC2 fetuses.
On the Entropy of Four-Dimensional Near-Extremal N=2 Black Holes with R^2-Terms

description: We consider the entropy of four-dimensional near-extremal N=2 black holes. Without R^2-terms, the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula has the structure of the extremal black holes entropy with a shift of the charges depending on the non-extremality parameter and the moduli at infinity. We derive a generalized Wald entropy formula for non-extremal N=2 black holes with R^2-terms. We construct a class of small near-extremal horizon solutions with R^2-terms. In this case the entropy is the same as in the extremal case to order O(mu^2), and does not exhibit the charge shift behavior.
