description: We constrain the spectrum of the cosmic ultraviolet background radiation by fitting the observed abundance ratios carbon ions at $z\sim 2\hbox{--}3$ with those expected from different models of the background radiation. We use the recently calculated modulation of the background radiation between 3 and 4 Ryd due to resonant line absorption by intergalactic HeII, and determine the ratios of CIII to CIV expected at these redshifts, as functions of metallicity, gas density and temperature. Our analysis of the observed ratios shows that 'delayed reionization' models, which assume a large fraction of HeII at $z\sim3$, is not favored by data. Our results suggest that HeII reionization was inhomogeneous, consistent with the predictions from recent simulations.

The role of NPAS4 in glucose homeostasis
Creators: name: Sabatini, Paul Vincent
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Type 2 diabetes is characterized by hyperglycemia associated with reduced insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells and impaired insulin sensitivity at peripheral target tissues. There is a growing body of evidence that supports the importance of bHLH-PAS domain transcription factors in promoting beta cell function. With the recent identification of neuronal PAS domain protein 4 (NPAS4) within the central nervous system, studies were undertaken to determine whether NPAS4 is expressed in beta cells, how its expression is regulated in response to changing environmental signals and uncover the functional significance of NPAS4 in the maintenance of glucose homeostasis. Together, experiments within this thesis demonstrate that NPAS4 is expressed within the pancreatic beta cell and is rapidly upregulated in response to membrane depolarization and calcium influx. Further, this induction was impaired in a mouse model of beta cell dysfunction and within islets from individuals with T2D. Overexpression studies performed in vitro identified NPAS4 as a novel negative regulator of insulin expression and GLP-1 potentiated insulin secretion. Furthermore, NPAS4 protected beta cells from maladaptive cellular pathways that promote cell dysfunction and death; including endoplasmic reticulum stress and activation of HIF1α. Finally, the characterization of three different Npas4 mouse knockout models suggests that continued NPAS4 expression in the beta cell is required to maintain differentiation status and cellular function. An independent role for NPAS4 in the maintenance of glucose homeostasis was also discovered in other Pdx1-Cre expressing cells, likely within the hypothalamus. Together, the data suggest beta cells induce NPAS4 expression during periods of cellular activity and acts as a protective factor to protect cells in order to promote the maintenance of euglycemia.

description: The main reasons for searching for pulsars are to: (i) get an accurate census of the neutron star population and its origin and evolution; (ii) connect neutron stars to other stellar populations in the Galaxy and globular clusters; (iii) study Galactic astronomy (the interstellar medium and magnetic field); (iv) find and study new interesting individual objects; (v) study pulsar phenomenology; (vi) find pulsars to add to the sensitivity of pulsar timing arrays. This review focuses on blind (i.e. large area) searches for radio pulsars. I'll summarize the methods we use, some of the challenges they present, look at some of the recent and current efforts going on. I will also look at outreach of this area to groups outside the traditional area of pulsar research, highlight the discoveries of radio transients and look ahead to the future. Pulsars found at other wavelengths will be reviewed elsewhere in this volume.

AltAltp: Online Parallelization of Plans with Heuristic State Search

description: Despite their near dominance, heuristic state search planners still lag behind disjunctive planners in the generation of parallel plans in classical planning. The reason is that directly searching for parallel solutions in state space planners would require the planners to branch on all possible subsets of parallel actions, thus increasing the branching factor exponentially. We present a variant of our heuristic state search planner AltAlt, called AltAltp which generates parallel plans by using greedy online parallelization of partial plans. The greedy approach is significantly informed by the use of novel distance heuristics that AltAltp derives from a graphplan-style planning graph for the problem. While this approach is not guaranteed to provide optimal parallel plans, empirical results show that AltAltp is capable of generating good quality parallel plans at a fraction of the cost incurred by the disjunctive planners.

description: Understanding nuclear effects in parton distribution functions (PDF) is an essential component needed to determine the strange and anti-strange quark contributions in the proton. In addition Nuclear Parton Distribution Functions (NPDF) are critically important for any collider experiment with nuclei (e.g. RHIC, ALICE). Here two next-to-leading order chi^2-analyses of NPDF are presented. The first uses neutral current charged-lepton Deeply Inelastic Scattering (DIS) and Drell-Yan data for several nuclear targets and the second uses neutrino-nucleon DIS data. We compare the nuclear corrections factors (F_2^Fe/F_2^D) for the charged-lepton data with other results from the literature. In particular, we compare and contrast fits based upon the charged-lepton DIS data with those using neutrino-nucleon DIS data.

Presentation Abstract: Extreme heat was observed and experienced across large portions of the United States in 2021, including during notable record-breaking events in the Pacific Northwest, the Southwest, and along the East coast. The contiguous US experienced its hottest June on record, and excess heat related deaths stretched into the thousands. While more frequent and intense periods of extreme heat are expected consequences of anthropogenic climate change, rapidly and continuously assessing the degree to which human emissions of greenhouse gases increase the likelihood of a specific event remains a challenging technical process. In this study we introduce the Realtime Climate attribution framework and illustrate its application through an analysis of observed 2021 extreme heat events. The framework implements one model-based and two observation-based approaches to produce three distinct attribution assessments, including best estimates and uncertainties. The framework is designed to be flexible across a range of variables and scales, computationally lightweight, and adaptable for impact studies. Using a suite of global climate models, observed global mean temperatures, and local observed daily temperatures, we quantify the extent to which human-driven climate change made 2021 maximum and minimum daily temperature extremes more likely across the United States. Results confirm the continued and growing influence of human-driven climate change in local weather extremes. For instance, we find that the record-breaking high temperatures in June near Phoenix, AZ, were at least 3.25 times more likely because of human activity. Through this framework, we are building the capacity to produce attribution estimates while an event is unfolding. Furthermore, the ability to estimate attribution levels continuously will enhance studies of extreme heat impacts on human health, along with other socioeconomic or influences.

description: The hyperfine structure and isotope shifts of the 3s23p2 3P2 to 3s3p3 3Do3 transition in silicon have been measured. The transition at 221.7 nm was studied by laser induced fluorescence in an atomic Si beam. For 29Si, the hyperfine A constant for the 3s23p2 3P2 level was determined to be -160.1+-1.3 MHz (1 sigma error), and the A constant for the 3s3p3 3Do3 level is -532.9+-0.6 MHz. This is the first time that these constants were measured. The isotope shifts (relative to the abundant isotope 28Si) of the transition were determined to be 1753.3+-1.1 MHz for 29Si and 3359.9+-0.6 MHz for 30Si. This is an improvement by about two orders of magnitude over a previous measurement. From these results we are able to predict the hyperfine structure and isotope shift of the radioactive 31Si atom, which is of interest in building a scalable quantum computer.

In this note we demonstrate that the basic equations adopted in their work do not recover the specific (unperturbed) CCDM model. Unlike to what happens in the original CCDM cosmology, their basic conclusions refer to a decelerating cosmological model in which there is no transition from a decelerating to an accelerating regime as required by SNe type Ia and complementary observations.

description: Designing and implementing efficient, provably correct parallel machine learning (ML) algorithms is challenging. Existing high-level parallel abstractions like MapReduce are insufficiently expressive while low-level tools like MPI and Pthreads leave ML experts repeatedly solving the same design challenges. By targeting common patterns in ML, we developed GraphLab, which improves upon abstractions like MapReduce by compactly expressing asynchronous iterative algorithms with sparse computational dependencies while ensuring data consistency and achieving a high degree of parallel performance. We demonstrate the expressiveness of the GraphLab framework by designing and implementing parallel versions of belief propagation, Gibbs sampling, Co-EM, Lasso and Compressed Sensing. We show that using GraphLab we can achieve excellent parallel performance on large scale real-world problems.

description: The Horizon 2020 Blue-Cloud (B-C) project launched in October 2019, aims to demonstrate the potential of web-based Open Science in the marine domain. To deliver on this objective, B-C is piloting the development of a web-based cyber platform that provides marine scientists with enhanced analytical capabilities. It facilitates their engagement in collaborative research and provides them with access to powerful cloud-computing resources, a range of analytical tools and simplified access to multi-disciplinary data from in situ and satellite-derived observations to model outputs. Blue-Cloud addresses the Innovation Action “The Future of Seas and Oceans Flagship Initiative (BG-07-2019-2020)” and it is co-designed by, and builds on, existing European capability, including trusted data services (EMODnet, CMEMS) and other key marine data and research infrastructures (SeaDataNet, EurOBIS, Euro-Argo, Argo GDAC, ELIXIR-ENA, EuroBioImaging, and ICOS-Marine) and e-infrastructures (EUDAT, D4Science, WEkEO). In particular, Blue-Cloud demonstrators are going to integrate diverse data from EMODnet. For example, biodiversity and environmental data (relevant for the ‘Plankton Genomics’ demonstrator), physics, biology, chemistry data (relevant for the ‘Marine Environmental Indicators’ demonstrator), biology and coastlines data (relevant for ‘Fish, a matter of scales’ demonstrator), and in-situ environmental data for ground-truthing and European marine topography (relevant for ‘Aquaculture Monitor’ demonstrator). Moreover, the EMODnet potential is going to be exploited to create a bridge between the Blue-Cloud and the EU-funded projects the consortium has established synergies with (e.g. AQUA-Lit, ENVRI-FAIR).
RGANN: An Efficient Algorithm to Extract Rules from ANNs

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Neural and Evolutionary Computing (cs.NE)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper describes an efficient rule generation algorithm, called rule generation from artificial neural networks (RGANN) to generate symbolic rules from ANNs. Classification rules are sought in many areas from automatic knowledge acquisition to data mining and ANN rule extraction. This is because classification rules possess some attractive features. They are explicit, understandable and verifiable by domain experts, and can be modified, extended and passed on as modular knowledge. A standard three-layer feedforward ANN is the basis of the algorithm. A four-phase training algorithm is proposed for backpropagation learning. Comparing them to the symbolic rules generated by other methods supports explicitness of the generated rules. Generated rules are comparable with other methods in terms of number of rules, average number of conditions for a rule, and predictive accuracy. Extensive experimental studies on several benchmarks classification problems, including breast cancer, wine, season, golf-playing, and lenses classification demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach with good generalization ability.

title: Properties of self-consolidating concrete containing expanded slate lightweight aggregate
Creators: name: Sadek, Mohamed M.
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2020

description: This thesis aimed to evaluate the performance of self-consolidating concrete using either lightweight fine expanded slate aggregate (LF) or lightweight coarse expanded slate aggregate (LC). The rheological and mechanical properties of the lightweight self-consolidating concrete (LWSCC) mixtures were evaluated, in addition to the impact resistance and the durability (including abrasion and salt scaling resistance). The variables in this study included the type of lightweight aggregate (LF and LC), lightweight aggregate volume, binder content (500 kg/m³, 550 kg/m³ and 600 kg/m³), and types of concrete (LWSCC, normal weight self-consolidating concrete and lightweight vibrated concrete). The research program was divided into three stages. The first stage included optimization of LWSCC using expanded slate aggregate to obtain mixtures with minimum possible density (while achieving acceptable fresh properties) and mixtures having a target density of 2000 kg/m³ with maximized compressive strength. The second stage included investigation on the mechanical properties and impact resistance, while the third stage covered the assessment of the durability of the optimized mixtures. The results showed higher flowability for the LWSCC mixtures when LF was used compared to LWSCC mixtures with LC. However, LWSCC mixtures with LF required more high range water reducer admixture to reach the acceptable level of flowability compared to LWSCC mixtures with LC. The results also revealed that LWSCC mixtures with LF had higher mechanical properties, impact resistance and abrasion resistance before and after the exposure to salt scaling compared to LWSCC mixtures with LC at the same density level. Additionally, the results showed that the stability of the LWSCC mixtures (using LC or LF) enhanced by increasing the binder content. Increasing the binder content also allowed for using more lightweight aggregate, thus resulting in lower density mixtures.
Amid storied, shared, and envisioned lives : a narrative inquiry of undergraduate exchange students in and between Canada and the Republic of Korea
Creators: name: Kang, Jeong-Ja
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Despite the growth in the number of participants in exchange programs, exchange students in and between Canada and the Republic of Korea (Korea) have received very little academic attention. To explore student motivations as well as their transnational experiences and their reflections on these experiences, I examined the lives of nine undergraduate exchange students between Canada and Korea, employing a narrative inquiry methodology. Idiosyncratic vignettes of these students’ disjunctures from their home country and multidirectional practices in their host country were analyzed through the theoretical lenses of global flows, cultural and neoliberal globalization, and social imaginaries in the Thirdspace (Soja, 1996, 2009). For the nine exchange students, embarking on an overseas exchange emerged from interactions between global flows and their localities. For these students, going on an exchange was an opportunity not only to be freed from their home country and its many stresses, but also to become equipped with a competitive edge as a global talent. Throughout these engagements with foreignness, they gradually enhanced their critical awareness of pedagogical, cultural, and spatial differences, even if their embrace of otherness was often limited due to their identity as temporary sojourners in the host country. Since exchange programs are based on official agreements between home and host universities, administrative terrains were examined and unequal relationships between universities in Anglophone countries and Korean universities emerged. Arguing that current exchange programs between Canadian and Korean universities have reinforced contemporary social inequality, this study recommends creating more inclusive exchange programs by interjecting diversity into the selection criteria and offering shared spaces where exchange students can interact with local students in their academic, relational, and cultural arenas.

description: Natural language generation (NLG) systems are computer software systems that produce texts in English and other human languages, often from non-linguistic input data. NLG systems, like most AI systems, need substantial amounts of knowledge. However, our experience in two NLG projects suggests that it is difficult to acquire correct knowledge for NLG systems; indeed, every knowledge acquisition (KA) technique we tried had significant problems. In general terms, these problems were due to the complexity, novelty, and poorly understood nature of the tasks our systems attempted, and were worsened by the fact that people write so differently. This meant in particular that corpus-based KA approaches suffered because it was impossible to assemble a sizable corpus of high-quality consistent manually written texts in our domains; and structured expert-oriented KA techniques suffered because experts disagreed and because we could not get enough information about special and unusual cases to build robust systems. We believe that such problems are likely to affect many other NLG systems as well. In the long term, we hope that new KA techniques may emerge to help NLG system builders. In the shorter term, we believe that understanding how individual KA techniques can fail, and using a mixture of different KA techniques with different strengths and weaknesses, can help developers acquire NLG knowledge that is mostly correct.

description: Using first-principles methods, we predict the energy landscape and ferroelectric states of double perovskites of the form AA$'$BB$'$O$_6$ in which the atoms on both the A and B sites are arranged in rock-salt order. While we are not aware of compounds that occur naturally in this structure, we argue that they might be realizable by directed synthesis. The high-symmetry structure formed by this arrangement belongs to the tetrahedral $F\bar{4}3m$ space group. If a ferroelectric instability occurs, the energy landscape will tend to have minima with the polarization along tetrahedral directions, leading to a rhombohedral phase, or along Cartesian directions, leading to an orthorhombic phase. We find that the latter scenario applies to CaBaTiZrO$_6$ and KCaZrNbO$_6$, which are weakly ferroelectric, and the former one applies to PbSnTiZrO$_6$, which is strongly ferroelectric. The results are modeled with a fourth- or fifth-order Landau-Devonshire expansion, providing good agreement with the first-principles calculations. Computations of zone-center soft modes are also carried out in order to characterize the polar and octahedral-rotation instabilities in more detail. Prospects for synthesis of ferroelectric materials belonging to this class are discussed.

Ethnicity-based differences in treatment seeking for symptoms of acute coronary syndrome
Creators: name: Iacoe, Emma
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Background: Patient-related delays in acquiring medical care for symptoms of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remain unacceptably long despite campaigns aimed at raising awareness of the importance of timely presentation to an urgent care facility. Patients who delay seeking treatment for ACS often experience delays in treatment initiation, which can lead to poorer outcomes. Many sociodemographic characteristics associated with treatment-seeking delay are known, however ethnicity and how it relates to delay, have not been extensively evaluated. Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore ethnicity-based factors to determine how they relate to the treatment-seeking decisions of patients experiencing symptoms of ACS. Method: Data for this descriptive study were collected for the Acute Coronary Syndrome Care in Emergency Departments (“ASCEND”) study. The ASCEND study is a prospective, observational study in which patients presenting to hospital emergency departments and triaged as having symptoms suggestive of ACS are identified. The primary outcome of this study, the patients’ time-to-treatment interval, was defined as the time between the occurrences of symptom onset and appropriate treatment seeking. The predictor variable, ethnicity, was measured with the self-reported data and categorized as Chinese, South Asian, or “Other” ethnic groups. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used along with nonparametric testing. Results: The study sample consisted of 401 participants; 30 Chinese, 102 South Asian, and 269 participants who were characterized as “Other”. The median time-to-treatment-seeking interval, for the total sample, was 180 minutes (IQR = 1,170 minutes). A Kruskal-Wallis test demonstrated no statistically significant differences in the time-to-treatment intervals by ethnicity; however, the sample may not have provided sufficient statistical power to detect a difference. No ethnic differences were found in the participants’ reasons for employing the coping strategies or actions that led to their treatment-seeking delay. A statistically significant relationship was found between ethnicity and the actions taken by the participants in response to their symptoms of ACS. The South Asian participants were most likely to call for the help of a family member, co-worker or stranger nearby, or telephoned a family member, which likely prolonged the time it took to obtain medical care.

description: Η Ελούντα είναι μια μικρή πόλη που βρίσκεται στη βόρεια ακτή του νομού Λασιθίου, με κύριο οικισμό το Σχίσμα Ελούντας. Η περιοχή περικλείεται από τις βουνοκορφές Φοραδάρη, Οξά, Καρφί και Λούτσι και αποτελεί ένα πλούσιο παλίμψηστο με την ιστορία του να χάνεται στο βάθος του χρόνου. Ο τόπος κατοικείται ήδη από τη Μινωική Εποχή, με την αρχαία Ολούντα να θεωρείται μια από τις σημαντικότερες πόλεις της αρχαίας Κρήτης, που ήκμαζε έως και τους πρωτοβυζαντινούς χρόνους. Πληθώρα κατακτητών όπως Ρωμαίοι, Άραβες, Ενετοί, Τούρκοι και Γερμανοϊταλοί ακολούθησαν αφήνοντας το δικό τους στίγμα στην περιοχή. Η αρχαία Ολούς βρισκόταν στο σημείο ένωσης με την γειτονική χερσόνησο της Σπιναλόγκας, απέναντι από την οποία βρίσκεται το νησί με το γνωστό φρούριο της Σπιναλόγκας. Σήμερα, το μεγαλύτερο μέρος της αρχαίας Ολούντος είναι βυθισμένο, με τα ερείπιά της να είναι υπό ενεργή έρευνα, ενώ στην ευρύτερη περιοχή σώζονται σημαντικά μνημεία από την ιστορική της διαδρομή. Παρ’ όλα αυτά, η υπέρμετρη τουριστική ανάπτυξη αλλοτριώνει συνεχώς τον χαρακτήρα της Ελούντας τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες, επισκιάζοντας την πολιτισμική της ταυτότητα.
Η πρότασή μας αφορά την δημιουργία ενός μουσείου τοπικής ιστορίας που γεννήθηκε από την αναγκαιότητα ανάδειξης και διαφύλαξης της ιστορικότητας της περιοχής. Περαιτέρω χρήσεις όπως χώροι εργαστηρίων, ένα δημόσιο αναψυκτήριο, μια μικρή βιβλιοθήκη και μια αίθουσα εκδηλώσεων συνοδεύουν το μουσείο και συνδέονται μέσω της διαμόρφωσης του δημόσιου χώρου. Ταυτόχρονα, η σχεδίαση μιας περιπατητικής διαδρομής που διασχίζει τη Χερσόνησο της Σπιναλόγκας και διέρχεται από όλα τα μνημεία της, εμπλουτίζει την εμπειρία του επισκέπτη μέσα στο κρητικό τοπίο.

description: We analyze the physical processes of gap formation in an inviscid protoplanetary disk with an embedded protoplanet using two-dimensional local shearing-sheet model. Spiral density wave launched by the planet shocks and the angular momentum carried by the wave is transferred to the background flow. The exchange of the angular momentum can affect the mass flux in the vicinity of the planet to form an underdense region, or gap, around the planetary orbit. We first perform weakly non-linear analyses to show that the specific vorticity formed by shock dissipation of density wave can be a source of mass flux in the vicinity of the planet, and that the gap can be opened even for low-mass planets unless the migration of the planet is substantial. We then perform high resolution numerical simulations to check analytic consideration. By comparing the gap opening timescale and type I migration timescale, we propose a criterion for the formation of underdense region around the planetary orbit that is qualitatively different from previous studies. The minimum mass required for the planet to form a dip is twice as small as previous studies if we incorporate the standard values of type I migration timescale, but it can be much smaller if there is a location in the disk where type I migration is halted.

description: We analyse the dynamics of trapped matter shells in spherically symmetric inhomogeneous Λ-CDM models. The investigation uses a Generalised Lemaître-Tolman-Bondi description with initial conditions subject to the constraints of having spatially asymptotic cosmological expansion, initial Hubble-type flow and a regular initial density distribution. We discuss the effects of shell crossing and use a qualitative description of the local trapped matter shells to explore global properties of the models. Once shell crossing occurs, we find a splitting of the global shells separating expansion from collapse into, at most, two global shells: an inner and an outer limit trapped matter shell. In the case of expanding models, the outer limit trapped matter shell necessarily exists. We also study the role of shear in this process, compare our analysis with the Newtonian framework and give concrete examples using density profile models of structure formation in cosmology.

A new method for obtaining the star formation law in galaxies

description: We present a new observational method to evaluate the star formation law as formulated by Schmidt: the power-law expression assumed to relate the rate of star formation in a volume of space to the local total gas volume density. Volume densities in the clouds surrounding an OB association are determined with a simple model which considers atomic hydrogen as a photodissociation product on cloud surfaces. The photodissociating flux incident on the cloud is computed from the far-UV luminosity of the OB association and the geometry. We have applied this "PDR Method" to a sample of star-forming regions in M33 using VLA 21-cm data for the HI and GALEX imagery in the far-UV. It provides an estimate of the total volume density of hydrogen (atomic + molecular) in the gas clouds surrounding the young star cluster. A logarithmic graph of the cluster UV luminosity versus the surrounding gas density is a direct measure of the star formation law. However, this plot is severely affected by observational selection, rendering large areas of the diagram inaccessible to the data. An ordinary least-squares regression fit therefore gives a strongly biased result. Its slope primarily reflects the boundary defined when the 21-cm line becomes optically thick, no longer reliably measuring the HI column density. We use a maximum-likelihood statistical approach which can deal with truncated and skewed data, taking into account the large uncertainties in the derived total gas densities. The exponent we obtain for the Schmidt law in M33 is 1.4 \pm 0.2.

RG Flow of Magnetic Brane Correlators

description: The magnetic brane solution to five-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory provides a holographic description of the RG flow from four-dimensional Yang-Mills theory in the presence of a constant magnetic field to a two-dimensional low energy CFT. We compute two-point correlators involving the U(1) current and the stress tensor, and use their leading IR behavior to confirm the existence of a single chiral current algebra, and of left- and right-moving Virasoro algebras in the low energy CFT. The common central charge of the Virasoro algebras is found to match the Brown-Henneaux formula, while the level of the current algebra is related to the Chern-Simons coupling. The coordinate reparametrizations produced by the Virasoro algebras on the AdS_3 near-horizon geometry arise from physical non-pure gauge modes in the asymptotic AdS_5 region, thereby providing a concrete example for the emergence of IR symmetries. Finally, we interpret the infinite series of sub-leading IR contributions to the correlators in terms of certain double-trace interactions generated by the RG flow in the low energy CFT.
