description: We device and investigate numerically a minimal yet detailed spin polaron model that describes lightly doped CuO$_2$ layers. The low-energy physics of a hole is studied by total-spin-resolved exact diagonalization on clusters of up to 32 CuO$_2$ unit cells, revealing features missed by previous studies. In particular, spin-polaron states with total spin 3/2 are the lowest eigenstates in several regions of the Brillouin zone. In these regions, and also at other points the quasiparticle weight is identically zero, indicating orthogonal states to those represented in the one electron Green's function. This highlights the importance of proper treatment of spin fluctuations in the many-body background.

Risk factors for basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma among patients from a Canadian dermatology clinic
Creators: name: Lee, Jenny
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Background: Targeted screening of high-risk individuals is recommended over population screening to identify and manage skin cancer patients. Previous published skin cancer risk prediction models have been developed from a general population with the purpose of identifying those at high risk from the general public. A model developed for use in clinics can potentially aid physicians in their care for patients. Before this model can be developed, risk factors for skin cancer in a clinical setting should be investigated. Objectives: The overall aim was to investigate the different risk factors for skin cancer and their associations with basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma in a Canadian clinical population. Methods: For this case-control study, 1003 patients were surveyed from the Skin Care Centre in Vancouver between January 2020 and December 2021. Demographics, personal history, phenotypic characteristics, and ultraviolet exposure measures were collected through an interviewer-administered survey. Odds ratios were estimated from univariate regressions to assess the relationships between different variables and the different skin cancer types (melanoma, BCC, SCC). Results: Our study population of 1003 included 105 melanoma, 367 BCC, and 148 SCC cases. There were 13 significant variables for melanoma, 17 for BCC, and 15 for SCC. Apart from age, presence of many lentigines was the strongest risk factor for melanoma (odds ratio [OR] 9.44, 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.25-24.0) and BCC (OR 22.8, CI 10.7-56.7). Apart from age, light eyes (OR 24.5, CI 6.15-164 for green, OR 12.6, CI 3.72-78.4 for blue) showed strongest effects for SCC risk. Conclusion: We found significant associations between many proposed risk factors and the 3 types of skin cancer. Age, gender, phenotypic characteristics, and history of sunburns were important risk factors for all skin cancer types. At the same time, some of our findings did not support the relationships found in literature, possibly due to our study being based on a clinical population. Future research involving multivariate analyses should be conducted to provide further insight into the associations between risk factors and skin cancer in a Canadian clinical population.
Holomorphic Simplicity Constraints for 4d Spinfoam Models

description: Within the framework of spinfoam models, we revisit the simplicity constraints reducing topological BF theory to 4d Riemannian gravity. We use the reformulation of SU(2) intertwiners and spin networks in term of spinors, which has come out from both the recently developed U(N) framework for SU(2) intertwiners and the twisted geometry approach to spin networks and spinfoam boundary states. Using these tools, we are able to perform a holomorphic/anti-holomorphic splitting of the simplicity constraints and define a new set of holomorphic simplicity constraints, which are equivalent to the standard ones at the classical level and which can be imposed strongly on intertwiners at the quantum level. We then show how to solve these new holomorphic simplicity constraints using coherent intertwiner states. We further define the corresponding coherent spin network functionals and introduce a new spinfoam model for 4d Riemannian gravity based on these holomorphic simplicity constraints and whose amplitudes are defined from the evaluation of the new coherent spin networks.

description: This paper is a review on the observational Hubble parameter data that have gained increasing attention in recent years for their illuminating power on the dark side of the universe --- the dark matter, dark energy, and the dark age. Currently, there are two major methods of independent observational H(z) measurement, which we summarize as the "differential age method" and the "radial BAO size method". Starting with fundamental cosmological notions such as the spacetime coordinates in an expanding universe, we present the basic principles behind the two methods. We further review the two methods in greater detail, including the source of errors. We show how the observational H(z) data presents itself as a useful tool in the study of cosmological models and parameter constraint, and we also discuss several issues associated with their applications. Finally, we point the reader to a future prospect of upcoming observation programs that will lead to some major improvements in the quality of observational H(z) data.

description: We discuss in detail the implementation of an open-system quantum simulator with Rydberg states of neutral atoms held in an optical lattice. Our scheme allows one to realize both coherent as well as dissipative dynamics of complex spin models involving many-body interactions and constraints. The central building block of the simulation scheme is constituted by a mesoscopic Rydberg gate that permits the entanglement of several atoms in an efficient, robust and quick protocol. In addition, optical pumping on ancillary atoms provides the dissipative ingredient for engineering the coupling between the system and a tailored environment. As an illustration, we discuss how the simulator enables the simulation of coherent evolution of quantum spin models such as the two-dimensional Heisenberg model and Kitaev's toric code, which involves four-body spin interactions. We moreover show that in principle also the simulation of lattice fermions can be achieved. As an example for controlled dissipative dynamics, we discuss ground state cooling of frustration-free spin Hamiltonians.

Evidence for Terrestrial Planetary System Remnants at White Dwarfs

description: The last several years have brought about a dynamic shift in the view of exoplanetary systems in the post-main sequence, perhaps epitomized by the evidence for surviving rocky planetary bodies at white dwarfs. Coinciding with the launch of the Spitzer Space Telescope, both space- and ground-based data have supported a picture whereby asteroid analogs persist at a significant fraction of cool white dwarfs, and are prone to tidal disruption when passing close to the compact stellar remnant. The ensuing debris can produce a detectable infrared excess, and the material gradually falls onto the star, polluting the atmosphere with heavy elements that can be used to determine the bulk composition of the destroyed planetary body. Based on the observations to date, the parent bodies inferred at white dwarfs are best described as asteroids, and have a distinctly rocky composition similar to material found in the inner Solar System. Their minimum masses are typical of large asteroids, and can approach or exceed the mass of Vesta and Ceres, the two largest asteroids in the Solar System. From the number of stars surveyed in various studies, the fraction of white dwarfs that host terrestrial planetary system remnants is at least a few percent, but likely to be in the range 20% to 30%. Therefore, A- and F-type stars form terrestrial planets efficiently, with a frequency at least as high as the remnants detected at their white dwarf descendants.

description: We show that intrinsic noise can induce spatio-temporal phenomena such as Turing patterns and travelling waves in a Brusselator model with nonlocal interaction terms. In order to predict and to characterize these quasi-waves we analyze the nonlocal model using a system-size expansion. The resulting theory is used to calculate the power spectra of the quasi-waves analytically, and the outcome is tested successfully against simulations. We discuss the possibility that nonlocal models in other areas, such as epidemic spread or social dynamics, may contain similar stochastically-induced patterns.

description: Abstract—Neurovascular stents have revolutionized the endovascular treatment of wide-necked and fusiform aneurysms; however, potential in-stent thrombosis—resulting in devastating strokes—complicates their use. Interventionalists using these devices must be aware of treatment options for such events. We present the case of a 46-year-old man who underwent stent-supported embolization of an incidental basilar aneurysm followed by in-stent thrombosis 6 weeks later. Though he presented at that time after 24 h of symptom onset with complete occlusion of the basilar artery, delayed thrombectomy and thrombolysis resulted in a good clinical outcome.

The curve U(t) is locally neighborly: as long as t_1, ..., t_k lie in an open arc of S of a certain length phi_k>0, the convex hull of the points U(t_1), ..., U(t_k) is a face of B_k. We characterize the maximum possible length phi_k, proving, in particular, that phi_k > pi/2 for all k and that the limit of phi_k is pi/2 as k grows. This allows us to construct centrally symmetric polytopes with a record number of faces.

A ferrofluid-assisted planar micromotor for endoscopic multimodal imaging
Creators: name: Searles, Kyle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Optical endoscopy is a common technique for diagnosing and treating disease given its ability to analyze tissue in real time and in a non-destructive manner. There are many different imaging modalities used in endoscopes, with common ones being white light endoscopy, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Raman spectroscopy. Each modality provides fundamentally different information, while white light endoscopy works just like a visual camera, OCT provides high resolution cross-sections, and Raman spectroscopy provides chemical composition data. For these imaging modalities, the optical path needs to be circumferentially rotated to provide a full 360° field-of-view, with each modality requiring a different rotation scheme (e.g., Raman spectroscopy requires stepping and OCT requires high speed). Rotating the beam using a micro distal scanner embedded at the tip of an endoscope is a way to improve the image quality. This work proposes a hollow and planar ferrofluid-based micro actuator that can be actuated in both a stepping and highspeed manner, which enables a distal scanner usable for multimodal imaging. Compared to preceding tubular designs, the planar topology allows for downsizing in the actuator’s axial size, which helps preserve probe flexibility. Furthermore, the hollow design provides an unobstructed optical path through the actuator body, which removes imaging blind spots. The novel design is first prototyped to prove its ability to act as an optical scanner by using flex-circuit microfabrication and 3D printing techniques to manufacture it. The prototype is successfully driven to revolve the rotor with 45 steps on a ring-shaped planar stator, which are then cycled at high frequencies to continuously spin the rotor. The proof-of-concept actuator was then coupled with fiber optic terminated with a gradient-index (GRIN) lens to allow for real time OCT imaging of a human index finger and thumb. The acquired images had no shadows from the electrical wiring and were of high enough quality to differentiate skin layers and make out sweat glands.

description: This report (Deliverable 2.6) deals with the connection of ecosystem services and tourism. Understanding

how ecosystem services contribute to touristic experiences fosters engaging in practices related to sustainable

tourism. This plays an important role for waste production and management in the 11 pilot cities of the

EU H2020 URBAN WASTE project.

A first version of this report reviewed relevant literature and summarized results from a survey on tourists’

and tourist staff’s perceptions of ecosystems services in the cities, conducted in URBAN WASTE’s work package

3. In this version, we added a description of selected ecosystem services in the cities, which were identified

in consultation with city partners. The final section provides a benchmark of the cities’ state of environment

based on various European and global datasets, resulting in city profiles. The results of this report can

be used in the later work on strategies (work package 4) and impact assessment (work package 7).

description: Online appendix for the ExVivoMicroTest: Ex-Vivo Testing of Microservices paper. The abstract of the paper follows: Microservice-based applications consist of multiple services that can evolve independently. When a service must be updated, it is first tested with in-house regression test suites. However, the test suites that are executed are usually designed without the exact knowledge about how the services will be accessed and used in the field, therefore they may easily miss relevant test scenarios, failing to prevent the deployment of faulty services.
 To address this problem, we introduce ExVivoMicroTest, an approach that analyzes the execution of deployed services at run-time in the field, in order to generate test cases for future versions of the same services. ExVivoMicroTest implements lightweight monitoring and tracing capabilities, to inexpensively record executions that can be later turned into regression test cases that capture how services are used in the field. To prevent accumulating an excessive number of test cases, ExVivoMicroTest uses a test coverage model that can discriminate the recorded executions between the ones that are worth to be turned into test cases and the ones that should be discarded. The resulting test cases use a mocked environment that fully isolates the service under test from the rest of the system to faithfully reply interactions.
 We assessed ExVivoMicroTest with the PiggyMetrics and Train Ticket open source microservice applications and studied how different configurations of the monitoring and tracing logic impact on the capability to generate test cases.

description: We study renormalizability aspects of the spectral action for the Yang-Mills system on a flat 4-dimensional background manifold, focusing on its asymptotic expansion. Interpreting the latter as a higher-derivative gauge theory, a power-counting argument shows that it is superrenormalizable. We determine the counterterms at one-loop using zeta function regularization in a background field gauge and establish their gauge invariance. Consequently, the corresponding field theory can be renormalized by a simple shift of the spectral function appearing in the spectral action. This manuscript provides more details than the shorter companion paper, where we have used a (formal) quantum action principle to arrive at gauge invariance of the counterterms. Here, we give in addition an explicit expression for the gauge propagator and compare to recent results in the literature.

description: The present study deals with a spatially homogeneous and anisotropic Bianchi-II cosmological model representing massive strings. The energy-momentum tensor, as formulated by Letelier (1983), has been used to construct a massive string cosmological model for which the expansion scalar is proportional to one of the components of shear tensor. The Einstein's field equations have been solved by applying a variation law for generalized Hubble's parameter that yields a constant value of deceleration parameter in Bianchi-II space-time. A comparative study of accelerating and decelerating modes of the evolution of universe has been carried out in the presence of string scenario. The study reveals that massive strings dominate the early Universe. The strings eventually disappear from the Universe for sufficiently large times, which is in agreement with the current astronomical observations.

description: Wildlife trafficking (WLT) has emerged as a global issue, with traffickers expanding their operations from offline to online platforms, utilizing e-commerce websites and social networks to enhance their illicit trade. This paper addresses the challenge of detecting and recognizing wildlife product sales promotion behaviors in online social networks, a crucial aspect in combating these environmentally harmful activities. To counter these environmentally damaging illegal operations, in this research, we focus on wildlife product sales promotion behaviors in online social networks. Specifically, 1) A scalable dataset related to wildlife product trading is collected using a network-based approach. This dataset is labeled through a human-in-the-loop machine learning process, distinguishing positive class samples containing wildlife product selling posts and hard-negatives representing normal posts misclassified as potential WLT posts, subsequently corrected by human annotators. 2) We benchmark the machine learning results on the proposed dataset and build a practical framework that automatically identifies suspicious wildlife selling posts and accounts, sufficiently leveraging the multi-modal nature of online social networks. 3) This research delves into an in-depth analysis of trading posts, shedding light on the systematic and organized selling behaviors prevalent in the current landscape. We provide detailed insights into the nature of these behaviors, contributing valuable information for understanding and countering illegal wildlife product trading.

description: In the framework of renormalization-group improved cosmologies, we analyze both theoretically and observationally the exact and general solution of the matter-dominated cosmological equations, using the expression of Λ= Λ(G) already determined by the integration method employed in a previous paper. A rough comparison between such a model and the concordance \LambdaCDM model as to the magnitude-redshift relationship has been already done, without showing any appreciable differences. We here perform a more refined study of how astrophysical data (Union2 set) on type-I supernovae, gamma ray bursts (in a sample calibrated in a model independent way with the SneIa dataset), and gas fraction in galaxy clusters (using a sample of Chandra measurements of the X-ray gas mass fraction) affect the model and constrain its parameters. We also apply a cosmographic approach to our cosmological model and estimate the cosmographic parameters by fitting both the supernovae and the gamma ray bursts datasets. We show that this matter-dominated cosmological model with variable Newton parameter and variable cosmological term is indeed compatible with the observations above (on type Ia supernovae, the gamma ray bursts Hubble diagram, and the gas mass fraction in X-ray luminous galaxy clusters). The cosmographic approach adopted confirms such conclusions. Finally, it seems possible to include radiation into the model, since numerical integration of the equations derived by the presence of both radiation and matter shows that, after inflation, the total density parameter is initially dominated by the radiation contribution and later by the matter one.

description: Terrestrial paleoseismological records along the Teton fault have historically indicated two-to-three major post-Pinedale (~14 ka) earthquake events, leaving an unresolved 6-9 m offset along the modern scarp. Recent studies of Jenny Lake have augmented this record, but the triggering mechanism is still equivocal until new paleo-earthquake records are developed. The earthquake record of the Teton fault is complicated by quiescence from ~5 ka to present, demonstrating the need for additional paleoseismic investigations. Compressed, high-intensity radar pulse (CHIRP) reflection data from Jackson Lake indicates multiple potentially seismically-induced mass transport deposits (MTDs). At least six MTD Groups representing chronostratigraphic intervals were interpreted to be linked potentially to seismicity due to their number, thicknesses, and spatial distribution. Using a range of sedimentation rates, we approximate the ages of these MTD Groups to be ~5.5 ka, ~11.3 ka, ~10.9 ka, ~12.9 ka, ~16.5 ka, and ~20.2 ka, although the application of rates here introduces considerable error. Future Jackson Lake research will establish an absolute chronology in the upper ~50 m of lake strata, identifying MTD event timing using long cores. If seismically-derived MTDs are dated to times not yet recognized, these lake sediment records could substantially augment the recent history of Teton fault slip.

Our findings reveal the dominance of Coulomb repulsion in isospin effects on E$_{bal}$ as well as its mass dependence throughout the range of the colliding geometry. Our results also indicate that the effect of symmetry energy and nucleon-nucleon cross section on E$_{bal}$ is uniform throughout the mass range and throughout the colliding geometry. We also present the counter balancing of nucleon-nucleon collisions and mean field by reducing the Coulomb and the counter balancing of Coulomb and mean filed by removing the nucleon-nucleon collisions.

description: D5.3 demonstrates tying together the technical ideas and research developed in CINECA into accessible, end-user applications - removing the need to have deep technical understanding of the various components. In this case the tools are applied to identifying pathological - and thus clinically-relevant - variants. This deliverable shows the final steps in the application of the CINECA tools where the relevant datasets have been discovered and combined using CINECA federated tools to generate a larger variant database to drive more accurate conclusions. Additionally, variant databases could be created and validated that are more tuned to diagnostics in non-caucasian populations that have historically been under-represented in reference data - a problem that tools such as those developed in CINECA/GA4GH would hope to reduce in future.
A longitudinal study of the natural gas pipeline industry in British Columbia
Creators: name: Reimer, Karaline
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The natural gas pipeline industry in British Columbia can appear to be a complicated patchwork of agencies and organizations working in jurisdictional silos that prevent the easy transfer of information. Even life-cycle agencies can appear to work within their mandated zones of control, with little impact on the broader evolution of the industry. This thesis helps determine and define what the regulatory and interagency framework of the natural gas pipeline industry in BC looks like, how the agencies and industry groups communicate on both formal and informal levels, and how they learn and share information to further the safety of the industry as a whole. To identify the roles that pipeline organizations and agencies play in the industry, a detailed examination was conducted of the key agencies involved in the pipeline regulatory life-cycle, describing their history, mandates, roles and responsibilities in the province. Communication between these groups was examined through focus groups with the two dominant regulators (BC Oil and Gas Commission and the Canadian Energy Regulator) in the province. The evolving tolerances for risk and how learning from lessons has been applied over time was studied through a timeline of incidents and policy changes in the province, and in five case studies that showcased some causes of pipeline failure and the evolving nature of incident investigation. The results of this study suggest that the regulatory landscape for the natural gas pipeline in British Columbia is evolving towards one with a lower tolerance for risk, higher safety standards, and a better understanding of how to mitigate issues. Regulators and industry organizations maintain extensive communication, both formal and informal, through various channels and mechanisms, which enhance their effectiveness (the ability to meet mandates and achieve system efficiency and public safety) and cooperation (the sharing of information, coordination of activities to maximize effectiveness). The agencies are learning organizations in that they work to promote information sharing, transparency, and adaptation of policy based on the lessons learned, particularly from incidents

Therefore, there are aroused attention and concern from both industry and academia. In this paper, we address the hate speech problem and propose a novel hate speech detection framework called SWE2, which only relies on the content of messages and automatically identifies hate speech. In particular, our framework exploits both word-level semantic information and sub-word knowledge. It is intuitively persuasive and also practically performs well under a situation with/without character-level adversarial attack. Experimental results show that our proposed model achieves 0.975 accuracy and 0.953 macro F1, outperforming 7 state-of-the-art baselines under no adversarial attack. Our model robustly and significantly performed well under extreme adversarial attack (manipulation of 50% messages), achieving 0.967 accuracy and 0.934 macro F1.

Supplemental glutamine to restore glutathione homeostasis in the aging mouse liver
Creators: name: Davidson-Hunt, Alexander
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Our society is currently aging, with this we are seeing increasing amounts of age-related diseases (ARDs) with the common underlying pathology of oxidative stress. Level’s of the body’s most abundant antioxidant, glutathione, are known to decrease in aging, and this may partly explain the oxidative stress that often develops. Research has shown that under conditions of stress, glutamine stores are depleted. Due to glutamine being closely tied to glutathione synthesis, I wondered if glutamine supplementation could restore the disrupted glutathione homeostasis observed in aging. Before addressing this question, my first objective was to examine if various glutathione probes solely detect glutathione (Chapter 2). The precursor molecule to glutathione, γ-glutamylcysteine, has been shown to have similar antioxidant capabilities as glutathione. I wondered if many of the common assays used to measure glutathione actually solely detect glutathione, as most are thiol probes. What I saw was that monochlorobimane, monobromobimane and o-pthalaldehyde do not solely detect glutathione, however 5,5′-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB) does. The second objective was to examine the effect of supplemental glutamine on glutathione homeostasis in the aging liver (chapter 3). I chose to look at this question in 3 mouse models, wild-type, EndoG+/- and Elovl5+/-, these mouse models represent a normal model, a model with healthier mitochondria, and a model with metabolic abnormalities, respectively. In our wild type mouse model, I saw that glutamine supplementation led to worse metabolic health, decreased total glutathione and GSH/GSSG ratio and increased gene expression of glutathione synthetic enzymes as well as antioxidant enzymes. In EndoG+/- mice, I saw lower fasting blood glucose in the glutamine supplemented mice, increases in GSS gene expression, decreases in SNAT1 protein levels and increases in xCT protein levels. Finally, Elovl5+/- mice showed no metabolic changes, however there was a decrease in the GSH/GSSG ratio and an increase in Gpx4 gene expression and nitrotyrosine protein levels. I concluded that many of the popular glutathione probes do not uniquely detect glutathione. Further, supplemental glutamine decreases glutathione levels in vitro. In middle-aged mice, supplemental glutamine decreases glutathione levels in a wild type model, however mitochondrially healthy and metabolically disrupted mice may be protected.
title: Re-Doing Patient Experience Through Design-Led Research
Creators: name: Thomson, Alison
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2019

description: This thesis researches and examines how ‘patient experience’ is understood and approached through practice in
healthcare, social science and design. In the UK, there is a considerable effort to access, measure and improve
patient experience in the National Health Service (NHS). It is considered to be something that can be defined and
thus made available for intervention alongside and in ways comparable to measures of clinical effectiveness and
safety.

As such, current approaches to patient experience from healthcare, social science and design will be set
out, identifying different assumptions that figure the patient and patient experience in radically different ways. The
thesis will then go on to use the notion of performativity to show how different methods and techniques – and
their associated rationalities – that aim to capture, measure and improve patient experience actually produce and
enact different versions of patient experience.

The empirical and practice-based element of this research is based with the Barts Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
research team at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL). This team researches MS, a degenerative and
chronic neurological disease affecting over 100,000 people in the UK. Through engaging with the empirical
contexts of an outpatient clinic, a scientific conference and a measurement activity, this research will explore how
patient experience is enacted in different contexts and consider the ways in which patient experience, as
human/non-human arrangements, come into being and is made capable for action/inaction by way of
measurement tools, misbehavior, practices of simulation and different experience phenomena.

This thesis will demonstrate that design-led research offers the opportunity to rethink or redo the patient
experience, drawing on scholars in Science and Technology Studies (STS) to develop a methodological
approach to deal with performativity of method and the multiple enactments of patient experience. Viewing
interventions as performative will disrupt and provoke different forms of knowledge, methods and people, as well
as revealing processes, practices and procedures (or technologies of experience) that articulate patient
experience. These then contribute to the design of three research events where I set out to develop a new
patient-reported outcome measure to produce alternative forms of patient experience. As will become evident,
this aim proved to be misguided, if not impossible; instead, my contribution is a better understanding of the
requirements of a new approach to working with an expanded notion of patient experience. This thesis concludes
by reflecting on the implications of design-led interventions to study different versions of patient experience
alongside expanding on how design researchers can empirically engage with this topic.

description: As was observed by Grigoriev and Tseytlin, the Pohlmeyer-reduced AdS_2 x S^2 superstring theory possesses N=(2,2) worldsheet supersymmetry. We show, at the classical level, that the AdS_3 x S^3 and AdS_5 x S^5 superstring theories in the Pohlmeyer-reduced form reveal hidden N=(4,4) and N=(8,8) worldsheet supersymmetries. Our consideration is based on the modified mass-deformed gauged WZW action for the superstring equations. We present the explicit form of the supersymmetry transformations for both the off-shell action and the superstring equations. The characteristic feature of these transformations is the presence of non-local terms.

Year: 2023

description: The overall aim of the UNITI project is to develop a decision support system (DSS) to address the question which treatment approach is optimal for a specific patient. Clinical, epidemiological, medical, genetic and audiological data, including signals reflecting ear-brain communication, shall be analyzed by computational models to extract those factors that are of prognostic relevance.
An important step towards this goal is to build ensemble mechanisms that combine the computational models derived from the clinic-specific data and develop a voting scheme that takes into account the distribution of the phenotypes and allows to predict the medical outcome as well as the adherence to the clinical intervention.
This deliverable will report on the currently developed data models on phenotypes, predictors and adherence which are the basis for the voting scheme. A large variety of data models has been applied and compared.

description: A vertex operator approach for form factors of Belavin's $(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z})$-symmetric model is constructed on the basis of bosonization of vertex operators in the $A^{(1)}_{n-1}$ model and vertex-face transformation. As simple application for $n=2$, we obtain expressions for $2m$-point form factors related to the $σ^z$ and $σ^x$ operators in the eight-vertex model.
