description: We present the first spectroscopic images of solar radio transients from the prototype for the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), observed on 2010 March 27. Our observations span the instantaneous frequency band 170.9-201.6 MHz. Though our observing period is characterized as a period of `low' to `medium' activity, one broadband emission feature and numerous short-lived, narrowband, non-thermal emission features are evident. Our data represent a significant advance in low radio frequency solar imaging, enabling us to follow the spatial, spectral, and temporal evolution of events simultaneously and in unprecedented detail. The rich variety of features seen here reaffirms the coronal diagnostic capability of low radio frequency emission and provides an early glimpse of the nature of radio observations that will become available as the next generation of low frequency radio interferometers come on-line over the next few years.

description: Light curves from the Kepler Mission contain valuable information on the nature of the phenomena producing the transit-like signals. To assist in exploring the possibility that they are due to an astrophysical false positive, we describe a procedure (BLENDER) to model the photometry in terms of a "blend" rather than a planet orbiting a star. A blend may consist of a background or foreground eclipsing binary (or star-planet pair) whose eclipses are attenuated by the light of the candidate and possibly other stars within the photometric aperture. We apply BLENDER to the case of Kepler-9, a target harboring two previously confirmed Saturn-size planets (Kepler-9b and Kepler-9c) showing transit timing variations, and an additional shallower signal with a 1.59-day period suggesting the presence of a super-Earth-size planet. Using BLENDER together with constraints from other follow-up observations we are able to rule out all blends for the two deeper signals, and provide independent validation of their planetary nature. For the shallower signal we rule out a large fraction of the false positives that might mimic the transits. The false alarm rate for remaining blends depends in part (and inversely) on the unknown frequency of small-size planets. Based on several realistic estimates of this frequency we conclude with very high confidence that this small signal is due to a super-Earth-size planet (Kepler-9d) in a multiple system, rather than a false positive. The radius is determined to be 1.64 (+0.19/-0.14) R(Earth), and current spectroscopic observations are as yet insufficient to establish its mass.

description: This paper presents a method of calculation of the scattering length density grids based on molecular dynamics trajectories using Gaussian functions. The obtained grids were used to calculate the small-angle neutron scattering for two protein systems (chicken lysozyme and bovine serum albumin) at different salt concentrations and charge states. With the use of Guinier approximation the gyration radii values correpsonding to various system parameters were obtained, and then the diffrence between them was analyzed.

description: interfaces (CUI) miss requirements for good usability, e.g. sufficient feedback regarding system status. Within a user-centred design process we created different design approaches to explain the CUI’s state. A prototypical explainable conversational user interface (XCUI) was developed, which explains its state by means of representations of (1) confidence, (2) intent alternatives, (3) entities, and (4) a context time line. The XCUI was then tested in a user study (N = 49) and compared with a conventional CUI in terms of user satisfaction and task completion time. Results indicated that completion time and satisfaction improvement were dependent on specific task characteristics. The effects of the implemented XCUI features potentially resulted from task-specific needs for explanation. This could be based on the tasks’ different complexity indicating the potential need for adaptive presentation of explainability features.
Oncogenic GNAQ and BRAF in epidermal versus non-epidermal melanocytes
Creators: name: Urtatiz Gongora, Oscar Alejandro
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: Melanocytic neoplasms represents a group of biologically distinct subtypes that display a wide phenotypic variation. An integrative taxonomy of melanocytic neoplasms have grouped them into two major clades: those that arise from epithelium-associated melanocytes and those that arise from non-epithelium-associated melanocytes. In sites with an epithelial component, e.g. the skin epidermis or conjunctiva of the eye, activating BRAF mutations are frequently found. In contrast, activating GNAQ/11 mutations are virtually absent in those lesions, and instead are frequently found in lesions located in non-epithelial sites, such as the skin dermis, uveal tract of the eye, or meninges, where melanocytes interact with mesenchymal cells instead of epithelial cells. Why does this pattern occur? This question has been the overarching focus of this thesis, with experiments addressing how melanocytes respond to BRAF^V600E and GNAQ^Q209L oncogenes in epithelial and non-epithelial associated melanocytes. It has been suggested that the melanocytic lineage might comprise different subtypes of melanocytes that respond to activation of distinct pathways. Whether this differential response is due to unappreciated differences in the developmental migration of epithelial versus non-epithelial melanocytes, or to different microenvironmental cues sent to mature melanocytes located in different sites has been undetermined. In this dissertation, we found evidence that both developmental processes and microenvironmental cues influence the ability of oncogenes to drive melanocyte transformation. In chapter 2, we characterized a new mouse model for BRAF^V600E driven melanoma targeting melanocytes residing in both epithelial and non-epithelial tissues. Interestingly, non-epithelial melanocytes in the eye or leptomeninges did not respond to oncogenic Braf^V600E signaling. In chapter 3, we found that the timing of GNAQ^Q209L mutation during development influences the subtype of melanoma produced. In chapter 4, we found that the response of mature melanocytes to different oncogenic stimuli is flexible and depends upon environmental signals. Epidermal melanocytes survive poorly in the face of GNAQ^Q209L signaling because paracrine signals from keratinocytes coupled with GNAQ^Q209L signaling make melanocytes more sensitive to cellular stress. They are then lost through apoptosis. However, interactions with fibroblasts have the opposite effect, increasing the ability of GNAQ^Q209L to promote melanocyte transformation.

We calculate the temporal evolution of the magnetic and electric helicities, and explain the exchange of helicity making use of the Chern-Simon form. We also have found and explained that, as time goes to infinity, both helicities reach the same value and the exchange between the magnetic and electric part of the field stops.

description: Although the number of cycling accidents increases, technology to improve traffic flow and safety was predominantly researched in the context of motor-powered vehicles in the past. While new assistance systems are being installed for driving safety in passenger cars, a similar development is lacking for bicycles. Although cycling support systems are slowly becoming an important research topic, there is still limited work addressing intelligent and collaborative applications for bikes. In this workshop, we will discuss and prototype potential intelligent support systems and their applications in the cycling domain. Our goal is to bring cycling and technology enthusiasts together to discuss and develop possible intelligent support systems that can enhance the cycling experience and make bikes a safer mode of transport.

description: The UEQ+ is a modular framework that can be used to set up UX questionnaires that fit to a research question. The UEQ+ consists of a set of UX scales that can be combined to form a concrete questionnaire. Thus, the product owner or UX researcher can define which aspects of UX are important for his or her project and should thus be measured in the questionnaire. A UEQ+ scale consists of 4 items that measure the UX aspect represented by the scale and an additional item that measures how important this UX aspect is for the overall UX impression. Some situations require that a UX questionnaire is extremely short and for such situations the standard scale format may be too time consuming. We describe how short forms of the UEQ+ can be built. The impact of shortening the scales on the results is investigated in several studies.

description: We investigate the role of equilibrium and nonequilibrium noise in the magnetization dynamics on mono-domain ferromagnets. Starting from a microscopic model we present a detailed derivation of the spin shot noise correlator. We investigate the ramifications of the nonequilibrium noise on the spin torque dynamics, both in the steady state precessional regime and the spin switching regime. In the latter case we apply a generalized Fokker-Planck approach to spin switching, which models the switching by an Arrhenius law with an effective elevated temperature. We calculate the renormalization of the effective temperature due to spin shot noise and show that the nonequilibrium noise leads to the creation of cold and hot spot with respect to the noise intensity.

The role of individual n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids on regulating cardiovascular reactivity
Creators: name: Ye, Jiayu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Linoleic acid (LA), the major dietary n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) is known to aggravate cardiovascular diseases (CVD) by inducing mitochondrial oxidative damage. Along with mitochondrial damage, CVD patients often have higher LA in blood plasma, as a result of increased dietary LA or its defective removal. We hypothesized that improving mitochondrial oxidative stress can accelerate LA removal, and lower vascular reactivity. Globally blocking LA bioconversion lowered mitochondrial redox potential, and increased the expression of pro-hypertensive adrenergic receptor α-1a in cardiomyocytes (Aim 1) in vitro. Using heterozygous elongase 5 (Elovl5) mice with impaired removal of LA, a higher LA accumulation as well as an increased aortic pressure was identified in Elovl5+/- mice, compared to Elovl5+/+ mice using Pulsed-wave Doppler (Aim 2). Interestingly, limiting LA intake could not overcome the genetic deficiency of Elovl5 and demonstrated similar aortic pressures in mice fed with olive oil. This indicates a crucial role of Elovl5 in maintaining LA concentrations in vivo, as well as vascular reactivity. In addition, Elovl5+/- mice had lower glutathione (GSH) regulating genes in the heart. GSH is a master antioxidant and can alter mitochondrial oxidative damage. Indeed, addition of GSH ethyl ester lowered oxidative stress and improved LA removal in cardiomyocytes in vitro. Next, we used EndoG+/- (endonuclease G) mice, lacking a mitochondrial endonuclease which cleaves mtDNA under oxidative stress. EndoG+/- protected against GSH loss in heart under high n-6 PUFA diet. Such effects were confirmed in vitro when over-expression of EndoG damaged mitochondrial function in fibroblasts treated with LA (Aim 3). In conclusion, accumulation of LA either by dietary or genetic approach potentiates vascular reactivity. We also identified two targets that can potentially lower LA accumulation and vascular and cardiac reactivity, i.e. a) Elovl5 and b) GSH, both of which can protect the mitochondria and ensure LA removal to prevent against CVD.

description: A wide range of experiments studying microwave photons localized in superconducting cavities have made important contributions to our understanding of the quantum properties of radiation. Propagating microwave photons, however, have so far been studied much less intensely. Here we present measurements in which we reconstruct the Wigner function of itinerant single photon Fock states and their superposition with the vacuum using linear amplifiers and quadrature amplitude detectors. We have developed efficient methods to separate the detected single photon signal from the noise added by the amplifier by analyzing the moments of the measured amplitude distribution up to 4th order. This work is expected to enable studies of propagating microwaves in the context of linear quantum optics.

description: The first heterodyne array receivers have been successfully built for ground-based telescopes and airborne observatories. In the talk we give a very quick overview of some prior heterodyne arrays. In particular, we will look at the innovations they introduced and how these could be applied to future large (100 to 1000 pixel) arrays or space missions. Then we will present the first detailed design for a space application, the Heterodyne Receiver for the Origins Space Telescope (HERO). HERO follows the traditional design, but limited cooling power and the limited electrical power of the satellite pose major challenges. Minor challenges are limited availability of space and weight. For the eight 3x3 pixel arrays of which 4 can operate simultaneously we attributed 20mW at 4.5K, 35mW at 35K and 205 W at the satellite temperature. Therefore we propose to use SiGe cryogenic low noise amplifiers, with a dissipation of about 0.5mW for 6 GHz bandwidth. The power of the backends also needs to be reduced drastically to about 1 W for 6 GHz bandwidth. CMOS ASIC backends are one option, ADC, followed by FFTs and ACCs another. To reduce the volume and mass, we propose the cover the RF bandwidth of 486 GHz to 2700 GHz in only 4 bands, each with about 50% relative width.The design might not only be a helpful starting point for any heterodyne array on a satellite, but the low heat and power consumption might be also an essential first step for large (100 to 1000 pixels) heterodyne arrays for ground based telescopes or simply a more energy efficient alternative for any ALMA single pixel or array receiver.

description: Despite the merits of digitisation in private and professional spaces, critical infrastructures and societies are increasingly ex-posed to cyberattacks. Thus, Computer Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) are deployed in many countries and organisations to enhance the preventive and reactive capabilities against cyberattacks. However, their tasks are getting more complex by the increasing amount and varying quality of information dissem-inated into public channels. Adopting the perspectives of Crisis Informatics and safety-critical Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and based on both a narrative literature review and group discussions, this paper first outlines the research agenda of the CYWARN project, which seeks to design strategies and technolo-gies for cross-platform cyber situational awareness and actor-spe-cific cyber threat communication. Second, it identifies and elabo-rates eight research challenges with regard to the monitoring, analysis and communication of cyber threats in CERTs, which serve as a starting point for in-depth research within the project.

description: The terrestrial distribution of U, Th, and K abundances governs the thermal evolution, traces the differentiation, and reflects the bulk composition of the earth. Comparing the bulk earth composition to chondritic meteorites estimates the net amounts of these radiogenic heat-producing elements available for partitioning to the crust, mantle, and core. Core formation enriches the abundances of refractory lithophile elements, including U and Th, in the silicate earth by ~1.5. Global removal of volatile elements potentially increases this enrichment to ~2.8. The K content of the silicate earth follows from the ratio of K to U. Variable enrichment produces a range of possible heat-producing element abundances in the silicate earth. A model assesses the essentially fixed amounts of U, Th, and K in the approximately closed crust reservoir. Subtracting these sequestered crustal amounts from the variable amounts in the silicate earth results in a range of possible mantle allocations, leaving global dynamics and thermal evolution poorly constrained. Terrestrial antineutrinos from β-emitting daughter nuclei in the U and Th decay series traverse the earth with negligible attenuation. The rate at which large subsurface instruments observe these geo-neutrinos depends on the distribution of U and Th relative to the detector. Geo-neutrino observations with sensitivity to U and Th in the mantle are able to estimate silicate earth enrichment, leading to a more complete understanding of the origin, accretion, differentiation, and thermal history of the planet.

description: We present a new method for constructing three-dimensional mass maps from gravitational lensing shear data. We solve the lensing inversion problem using truncation of singular values (within the context of generalized least squares estimation) without a priori assumptions about the statistical nature of the signal. This singular value framework allows a quantitative comparison between different filtering methods: we evaluate our method beside the previously explored Wiener filter approaches. Our method yields near-optimal angular resolution of the lensing reconstruction and allows cluster sized halos to be de-blended robustly. It allows for mass reconstructions which are 2-3 orders-of-magnitude faster than the Wiener filter approach; in particular, we estimate that an all-sky reconstruction with arcminute resolution could be performed on a time-scale of hours. We find however that linear, non-parametric reconstructions have a fundamental limitation in the resolution achieved in the redshift direction.

description: In der heutigen durch komplexe Produkte, kurze Produktlebens-zyklen und eine hohe Wettbewerbsintensität gekennzeichneten Unternehmenswelt kommt der Innovation von Produkten, Dienstleistungen oder Unternehmensprozessen ein hoher Stel-lenwert zu. Trotz dieser hohen Bedeutung des Innovationsge-schehens werden IT-gestützte Innovations- und Ideenmanage-mentsysteme (IDMS) bisher vergleichsweise selten eingesetzt. Einer der Gründe hierfür kann bereits im Prozess der Einführung solcher Systeme gesehen werden, der sich ähnlich herausfor-dernd gestaltet wie die Einführung anderer Systeme wie etwa der Wissensmanagementsysteme. Der vorliegende Beitrag be-fasst sich daher mit dem Prozess der Einführung von IDMS und geht der Frage nach, welche Erkenntnisse und Ergebnisse hierzu bereits in der Literatur vorliegen und welche Aspekte bei der Einführung von IDMS besonders wichtig sind. Zentrale Ergeb-nisse sind, (i) dass die Einbindung möglichst alle Beteiligten so-wohl im Einführungsprozess als auch in der späteren Nutzung sowie die Schaffung einer Innovationskultur von herausragender Bedeutung sind, (ii) dass die bei IDMS am häufigsten vorkommenden Erfolgsfaktoren bzw. Probleme auch bei Wissensmana-gementsystemen am häufigsten identifiziert werden können so-wie (iii) die Feststellung eines Mangels an Forschung zur syste-matischen Einführung von IDMS.
Adaptive Oscillator Networks with Conserved Overall Coupling: Sequential Firing and Near-Synchronized States

description: Motivated by recent observations in neuronal systems we investigate all-to-all networks of non-identical oscillators with adaptive coupling. The adaptation models spike-timing-dependent plasticity in which the sum of the weights of all incoming links is conserved. We find multiple phase-locked states that fall into two classes: near-synchronized states and splay states. Among the near-synchronized states are states that oscillate with a frequency that depends only very weakly on the coupling strength and is essentially given by the frequency of one of the oscillators, which is, however, neither the fastest nor the slowest oscillator. In sufficiently large networks the adaptive coupling is found to develop effective network topologies dominated by one or two loops. This results in a multitude of stable splay states, which differ in their firing sequences. With increasing coupling strength their frequency increases linearly and the oscillators become less synchronized. The essential features of the two classes of states are captured analytically in perturbation analyses of the extended Kuramoto model used in the simulations.

description: Any design endeavor requires practitioners to engage in divergent thinking (cp. Double Diamond Model). Numerous creativity techniques and methods exist to support the design process and give structure in order to converge a wide variety of ideas into suitable candidates for prototyping and testing. Designing for specific, tangible interaction technologies requires a careful framing of the selected methods. Over the course of 10 years, our research group has gained experience in designing and developing applications for elastic displays. In this pictorial paper, we illustrate methods and intermediate results for a concrete application design. Due to the Covid19 pandemic, we made extensive use of the collaborative whiteboard application miro. We designed a way to visualize, explore, and evaluate clustering algorithms in the domain of machine learning using an elastic display. Finally, we present follow- up techniques for prototyping the concepts and ideas.
Monotonic and cyclic shear loading response of natural silts from British Columbia, Canada
Creators: name: Verma, Priyesh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: An experimental research program comprising constant-volume monotonic and cyclic direct simple shear (DSS) testing was undertaken to advance the knowledge on the mechanical response of fine-grained silts and silt-clay mixtures. Natural silts originating from different geographic locations within British Columbia, Canada were used as basic test materials. The effects of vertical effective consolidation stress (σ'vc), initial static shear stress bias (α), shearing direction, soil plasticity, and clay mineralogy on the mechanical behavior of silts and silt-clay mixtures were systematically investigated. Under monotonic shear loading, low-plastic, non-sensitive, normally consolidated (NC) silts under varying σ'vc and α values were found to normalize by σ'vc. This normalized response was not observed for high-plastic, sensitive, NC silt up to a threshold σ'vc value - due to ‘destructuration’ of initial soil fabric due to shearing; as the σ'vc increased beyond the threshold, the normalized response seemed to gradually emerge – suggesting full ‘destructuration’ of the initial soil structure under higher σ'vc. With respect to cyclic shearing, the NC silts and silt-clay mixtures displayed a cumulative increase in excess pore-water pressure with associated progressive degradation of shear stiffness with increasing number of loading cycles. This cyclic-mobility-type response was generally observed in all the tested fine-grained soil specimens regardless of the magnitude of σ'vc, α, shearing direction, PI, clay-type, and applied cyclic stress ratio. The cyclic resistance ratio (CRR) of low-plastic, NC silts was found to be insensitive to the σ'vc level, whereas the CRR was found to decrease with increase in α. The CRR of the silt-clay mixtures appeared to be relatively insensitive up to 20% clay proportion by weight regardless of the clay type. Beyond this threshold, the CRR increased with increase in illite content, and it decreased with increase in kaolinite content. The CRR of silt-clay mixtures of similar composition was found to decrease with increasing α for the tested range of 0 ≤ α ≤ 0.10. Complementing the above, the equivalent number of uniform cycles versus earthquake magnitude (Mw) relationships were also examined for fine-grained soils, especially including the strong ground motion time histories from latest subduction zone earthquakes with Mw > 8.0.
