description: Although European Parliament committee chairs play a salient role in the legislative process of the EU, we know virtually nothing about their selection and whether policy specialization and the individual attributes of the MEPs matter in the process. This paper draws on a unique longitudinal dataset that includes all full committee members, information on their past committee experience and office in the first seven terms of the EP and data on their parties. Despite the complex proportionality rules that govern the selection of committee chairs in the EP and the interdependence between their distribution and the allocation of other legislative offices, I find that chair seniority shapes the nomination of committee chairs. On the contrary, there is no evidence that European Party Groups use chair selection to reward their most loyal members, while EPG leaders did become chairs more often than regular members in the early terms.

description: We use near-infrared data obtained with the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) on the Hubble Space Telescope to identify objects having the colors of brown dwarfs (BDs) in the field of the massive galactic cluster NGC 3603. These are identified through use of a combination of narrow and medium band filters spanning the J and H bands, and which are particularly sensitive to the presence of the 1.3-1.5μm H2O molecular band - unique to BDs. We provide a calibration of the relationship between effective temperature and color for both field stars and for BDs. This photometric method provides effective temperatures for BDs to an accuracy of {\pm}350K relative to spectroscopic techniques. This accuracy is shown to be not significantly affected by either stellar surface gravity or uncertainties in the interstellar extinction. We identify nine objects having effective temperature between 1700 and 2200 K, typical of BDs, observed J-band magnitudes in the range 19.5-21.5, and that are strongly clustered towards the luminous core of NGC 3603. However, if these are located at the distance of the cluster, they are far too luminous to be normal BDs. We argue that it is unlikely that these objects are either artifacts of our dataset, normal field BDs/M-type giants or extra-galactic contaminants and, therefore, might represent a new class of stars having the effective temperatures of BDs but with luminosities of more massive stars. We explore the interesting scenario in which these objects would be normal stars that have recently tidally ingested a Hot Jupiter, the remnants of which are providing a short-lived extended photosphere to the central star. In this case, we would expect them to show the signature of fast rotation.

Kochen-Specker theorem studied with neutron interferometer

description: The Kochen-Specker theorem theoretically shows evidence of the incompatibility of noncontextual hidden variable theories with quantum mechanics. Quantum contextuality is a more general concept than quantum non-locality which is quite well tested in experiments by using Bell inequalities. Within neutron interferometry we performed an experimental test of the Kochen-Specker theorem with an inequality, which identifies quantum contextuality, by using spin-path entanglement in a single neutron system. Here entanglement is achieved not between different particles, but between degrees of freedom, i.e., between spin and path degree of freedom. Appropriate combinations of the spin analysis and the position of the phase shifter allow an experimental verification of the violation of an inequality of the Kochen-Specker theorem. The observed value of (2.291 +/- 0.008), which is above the threshold of 1, clearly shows that quantum mechanical predictions cannot be reproduced by noncontextual hidden variable theories.

description: European Union agencies are crucial institutional agents of the EU regulatory state. As such, they are faced with multiple expectations from a broad array of audiences. Reputation literature teaches us that the process of how organisations manage the expectations of their multifaceted audiences is central to organisational reputation. However, there has been little research about the diverse aspects of organisational reputation that EU agencies communicate to legitimise their existence. And how does this vary over time, across agencies, and why? More broadly, the study reflects on the implications of these attempts at self-presentation for the regulatory state's legitimising credentials. It introduces a novel measurement of reputational dimensions and draws on a quantitative analysis of all EU regulatory agencies’ annual reports across time. Our findings indicate that agencies are becoming more reputationally-astute over time, expanding their reputational repertoire. However, this expansion is consistent with the tenants of the EU regulatory state.

description: Non-ergodic renewal processes have recently been shown by several authors to be insensitive to periodic perturbations, thereby apparently sanctioning the death of linear response, a building block of nonequilibrium statistical physics. We show that it is possible to go beyond the ``death of linear response" and establish a permanent correlation between an external stimulus and the response of a complex network generating non-ergodic renewal processes, by taking as stimulus a similar non-ergodic process. The ideal condition of 1/f-noise corresponds to a singularity that is expected to be relevant in several experimental conditions.

Big Bounce in Dipole Cosmology

description: We derive the cosmological Big Bounce scenario from the dipole approximation of Loop Quantum Gravity. We show that a non-singular evolution takes place for any matter field and that, by considering a massless scalar field as a relational clock for the dynamics, the semi-classical proprieties of an initial state are preserved on the other side of the bounce. This model thus enhances the relation between Loop Quantum Cosmology and the full theory.

description: With transparency for EU trade negotiations becoming a high-profile topic this past decade, its connection with EU inter-institutional politics has become more consequential. In response to the changed role of the European Parliament and the need to better inform the public debate, the European Commission has significantly reformed its transparency policy for trade negotiations. At the same time however, an institutional process of informalisation at the EU level has enfolded. This study uses process-tracing methodology to determine how the increased transparency caused this informalisation in the case of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership negotiations. It thereby seeks to uncover a widely-occurring yet surprisingly underexplored process of institutional change that follows from increased transparency. Contrary to earlier accounts of correlations between transparency and informalisation, the author finds that both concepts are not necessarily contradictory. Instead, informality can in fact contribute to transparency goals and help legitimise decision-making.

description: The influence of inelastic hydrogen atom collisions on non-LTE spectral line formation has been, and remains to be, a significant source of uncertainty for stellar abundance analyses, due to the difficulty in obtaining accurate data for low-energy atomic collisions either experimentally or theoretically. For lack of a better alternative, the classical "Drawin formula" is often used. Over recent decades, our understanding of these collisions has improved markedly, predominantly through a number of detailed quantum mechanical calculations. In this paper, the Drawin formula is compared with the quantum mechanical calculations both in terms of the underlying physics and the resulting rate coefficients. It is shown that the Drawin formula does not contain the essential physics behind direct excitation by H atom collisions, the important physical mechanism being quantum mechanical in character. Quantitatively, the Drawin formula compares poorly with the results of the available quantum mechanical calculations, usually significantly overestimating the collision rates by amounts that vary markedly between transitions.

Identification and characterization of Receptor-Like Cytoplasmic Kinases (RLCKs) important in NLR-mediated immunity
Creators: name: Yaghmaiean, Hoda
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: Plants have evolved specific strategies to ward off invading pathogens. The plant immune system consists of two conceptual layers: pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) and effector-triggered immunity (ETI). Plasma membrane-localized pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) and intracellular nucleotide binding-leucine rich repeat receptors (NLRs) are employed as pathogen receptors for pathogen recognition. Additionally, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades play critical roles in plant immunity. The cascade formed by the Arabidopsis MEKK1-MKK1/MKK2-MPK4 has dual functions in the regulation of immune responses. It is activated during PTI and contributes to basal resistance against virulent pathogens. The whole cascade is guarded by the NLR protein SUMM2. Although recent studies provided important insights into how disruption of the MEKK1-MKK1/MKK2-MPK4 cascade leads to activation of SUMM2-mediated immunity and how SUMM2-mediated immunity is regulated, the signalling components immediately downstream of SUMM2 are largely unknown. Since several kinases most often are involved in the immune signalling events, the potential role of RLCKs as transducing signalling components downstream of CNL SUMM2 was investigated in Arabidopsis. In this study, reverse genetic analysis was carried out on RLCKs with potentially redundant functions to determine whether they are required for SUMM2-mediated defence responses. Using an egg-cell based CRISPR/Cas9 system, I knocked out the candidate RLCK genes in the mekk1-5 ndr1-1 background and identified a small group of RLCKs (designated as KH9.10) that are required for the autoimmune phenotypes of mekk1-5 ndr1-1. This thesis reports the characterization of RLCKs that belong to subgroup VIII. I provide both genetic and biochemical evidence to support the hypothesis that RLCKs in the KH9.10 group play a key role in SUMM2-mediated immunity. In addition, my study shows that this group of RLCKs is required for PTI responses induced by the elicitor flg22. Overall, this work provides new insights into the role of RLCK subgroup VIII as components in the signal transduction network downstream of SUMM2 in Arabidopsis.

description: Almost all regulatory policy stops at the national border. Thus, when conducting business abroad, the behaviour of firms is regulated by their host, not their home country. Yet, international institutions have issued (non-binding) codes of conduct on social/environmental aspects of firm behaviour, and various high-income countries discuss how to improve extraterritorial firm behaviour – with high political contestation over the appropriate mix of state intervention and corporate self-regulation. Exploiting a unique national referendum on this issue in Switzerland, we investigate how these interact from a public opinion standpoint. Based on a nationally representative survey experiment (N=1564), we find that while baseline support for state intervention is high (approx. 60%), corporate self-regulation decreases such support. However, only credible voluntary business initiatives lead to substantial reductions. Our results speak to a broad policy debate in European countries and the EU on how to ensure compliance of firms with human rights and environmental standards.
Ultraviolet Properties of the Higgs Sector in the Lee-Wick Standard Model

description: The Lee-Wick (LW) Standard Model (SM) offers a new solution to the hierarchy problem. We discuss, using effective potential techniques, its peculiar ultraviolet (UV) behaviour. We show how quadratic divergences in the Higgs mass Mh cancel as a result of the unusual dependence of LW fields on the Higgs background (in a manner reminiscent of Little Higgses). We then extract from the effective potential the renormalization group evolution of the Higgs quartic coupling lambda above the LW scale. After clarifying an apparent discrepancy with previous results for the LW Abelian Higgs model we focus on the LWSM. In contrast with the SM case, for any Mh, lambda grows monotonically and hits a Landau pole at a fixed trans-Planckian scale (never turning negative in the UV). Then, the perturbativity and stability bounds on Mh disappear. We identify a cutoff ~10^{16} GeV for the LWSM due to the hypercharge gauge coupling hitting a Landau pole. Finally, we also discuss briefly the possible impact of the UV properties of the LW models on their behaviour at finite temperature, in particular regarding symmetry nonrestoration.

description: The detection of CNO solar neutrinos in ultrapure liquid scintillator detectors is limited by the background produced by Bismuth-210 nuclei that undergo beta-decay to Polonium-210 with a lifetime equal to about 7 days. Polonium-210 nuclei are unstable and decay with a lifetime equal to about 200 days emitting alpha particles that can be also detected. In this letter, we show that the Bi-210 background can be determined by looking at the time evolution of alpha-decay rate of Po-210, provided that alpha particle detection efficiency is stable over the data acquisition period and external sources of Po-210 are negligible. A sufficient accuracy can be obtained in a relatively short time. As an example, if the initial Po-210 event rate is 2000 cpd/100 ton or lower, a Borexino-like detector could start discerning CNO neutrino signal from Bi-210 background in about 1 yr.

Scalar solitons and the microscopic entropy of hairy black holes in three dimensions

description: General Relativity coupled to a self-interacting scalar field in three dimensions is shown to admit exact analytic soliton solutions, such that the metric and the scalar field are regular everywhere. Since the scalar field acquires slow fall-off at infinity, the soliton describes an asymptotically AdS spacetime in a relaxed sense as compared with the one of Brown and Henneaux. Nevertheless, the asymptotic symmetry group remains to be the conformal group, and the algebra of the canonical generators possesses the standard central extension. For this class of asymptotic behavior, the theory also admits hairy black holes which raises some puzzles concerning an holographic derivation of their entropy à la Strominger. Since the soliton is devoid of integration constants, it has a fixed (negative) mass, and it can be naturally regarded as the ground state of the "hairy sector", for which the scalar field is switched on. This assumption allows to exactly reproduce the semiclassical hairy black hole entropy from the asymptotic growth of the number of states by means of Cardy formula. Particularly useful is expressing the asymptotic growth of the number of states only in terms of the spectrum of the Virasoro operators without making any explicit reference to the central charges.

description: Consider a nonlinear ill-posed operator equation $F(u)=y$ where $F$ is defined on a Banach space $X$. In general, for solving this equation numerically, a finite dimensional approximation of $X$ and an approximation of $F$ are required. Moreover, in general the given data $\yd$ of $y$ are noisy. In this paper we analyze finite dimensional variational regularization, which takes into account operator approximations and noisy data: We show (semi-)convergence of the regularized solution of the finite dimensional problems and establish convergence rates in terms of Bregman distances under appropriate sourcewise representation of a solution of the equation. The more involved case of regularization in nonseparable Banach spaces is discussed in detail. In particular we consider the space of finite total variation functions, the space of functions of finite bounded deformation, and the $L^\infty$--space.
Characterizing Salmonella pathogenicity island 2 effector interactions implicated in host endomembrane reorganization
Creators: name: Janzen, Katelyn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2022

description: The success of Salmonella Typhimurium as a pathogen relies on its ability to invade and survive within intestinal epithelial cells. S. Typhimurium thrives as an intracellular pathogen through the activity of a type III secretion system (T3SS2) whose secreted effectors create a unique intracellular replicative niche for S. Typhimurium through regulation of host immune pathways, host cell cytoskeleton rearrangement, regulating host cell ubiquitination events, and hijacking the host endosomal system. Significant efforts to elucidate T3SS2 effector molecular mechanisms through single effector studies have thus far been unable to fully explain the events leading to establishment of the S. Typhimurium intracellular niche. We undertook a systematic study to delineate the contribution of each effector associated with manipulation of the host endosomal system—namely SifA, SopD2, PipB2, SteA, SseJ, and SseFG by creating a deletion mutant library containing single-effector and multiple effector deletion mutants. It was shown that each of Salmonella-induced filament biogenesis, intracellular localization of the Salmonella-containing vacuole, intramacrophage replication, colonization, and virulence depends on the activities of multiple effectors. We demonstrate the complex interplay between effectors and highlight the necessity to study T3SS2-secreted effectors as groups, rather than as individual effectors A T3SS2 overexpression mutant (T3SS2⁺) was created to increase the abundance of secreted T3SS2 proteins and tagged effectors implicated to manipulate the host endosomal system. To identify novel host targets for these effectors while maintaining natural effector delivery throughout infection, a global mass spectrometry screen was performed using the SILAC (stable isotopic labelling with amino acids in cell culture)-labelling method to label host cells and infected them with T3SS2⁺ mutants. Using this method, the host protein annexin A2 was identified as a target for both SopD2 and PipB2. A shared host target for two effectors may explain the complex and nuanced phenotypes observed during S. Typhimurium infection. Together, the work presented here demonstrates that T3SS2-secreted effectors are dependant on each other’s activities during infection and shows binding of two effectors to a single host protein. This work contributes to our understanding of the intracellular lifestyle of S. Typhimurium and sets a new paradigm for future research.
ANALYSIS OF CONE PENETROMETER LIQUID LIMIT FLOW CURVE USING MATHEMATICAL MODEL

Subjects: Civil geotechnical engineering

description: This paper presents a mathematical model which defines the moisture-penetration relationship using British cone. The developed mathematical model gives a unique opportunity of computing or predicting the cone penetration of the soil even at a very low moisture content at which, due to practical limitation it is impossible to determine the soil penetration. The model was found to fit the moisture-penetration data reasonably well. The model was used to compute the penetration of soil at the plastic limit of 394 soils. This study indicates that the plastic limit cannot be defined using one unique penetration value.

description: Since the early 2010s, budgetary policy-making in EU member states has been subject to tighter European constraints. While recent research shows the relevance of intergovernmental negotiations for setting European policy priorities, little is known about how much political alternation in government still matters for national budgetary agendas. This paper investigates this question in Germany, one of Europe’s most powerful and financially stable countries. Drawing on original data, the paper first shows how political alternation in German cabinets changes governments’ budgetary agendas. Secondly, it shows how this alternation also influences the formulation and adoption of European policy recommendations. Based on these findings, the paper argues that governments in financially stable countries can pursue alternative policy agendas, but that these need to find consensus at both the national and European level. The range of alternatives is therefore inevitably contingent upon the national institutional framework and country’s relative strength within the EU.

Legislative agendas during periods of inequality: evidence from Europe and the United States

description: This article investigates the relationship between economic inequality and legislative agendas. It argues that rising inequality makes agenda setting especially vulnerable to the influence of economic elites, and that elites use their influence to keep redistributive policies from receiving governmental attention. Empirical tests use data on public laws and bills introduced in the legislatures of five European countries between 1981 and 2012, and the United States between 1948 and 2015. As inequality becomes more acute, we observe a migration in legislative attention away from issues dealing with the social safety-net. These effects are more pronounced earlier in the policy process, which is consistent with the idea that elites can act as gatekeepers of legitimate policy ideas. These findings suggest that economic stratification shapes the policymaking debate in ways that make redistribution less likely.

description: We describe an algorithm for computing an inverse spherical harmonic transform suitable for graphic processing units (GPU). We use CUDA and base our implementation on a Fortran90 routine included in a publicly available parallel package, S2HAT. We focus our attention on the two major sequential steps involved in the transforms computation, retaining the efficient parallel framework of the original code. We detail optimization techniques used to enhance the performance of the CUDA-based code and contrast them with those implemented in the Fortran90 version. We also present performance comparisons of a single CPU plus GPU unit with the S2HAT code running on either a single or 4 processors. In particular we find that use of the latest generation of GPUs, such as NVIDIA GF100 (Fermi), can accelerate the spherical harmonic transforms by as much as 18 times with respect to S2HAT executed on one core, and by as much as 5.5 with respect to S2HAT on 4 cores, with the overall performance being limited by the Fast Fourier transforms. The work presented here has been performed in the context of the Cosmic Microwave Background simulations and analysis. However, we expect that the developed software will be of more general interest and applicability.

description: This paper describes an algorithm for selecting parameter values (e.g. temperature values) at which to measure equilibrium properties with Parallel Tempering Monte Carlo simulation. Simple approaches to choosing parameter values can lead to poor equilibration of the simulation, especially for Ising spin systems that undergo $1^st$-order phase transitions. However, starting from an initial set of parameter values, the careful, iterative respacing of these values based on results with the previous set of values greatly improves equilibration. Example spin systems presented here appear in the context of Quantum Monte Carlo.

description: With transparency for EU trade negotiations becoming a high-profile topic this past decade, its connection with EU inter-institutional politics has become more consequential. In response to the changed role of the European Parliament and the need to better inform the public debate, the European Commission has significantly reformed its transparency policy for trade negotiations. At the same time however, an institutional process of informalisation at the EU level has enfolded. This study uses process-tracing methodology to determine how the increased transparency caused this informalisation in the case of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership negotiations. It thereby seeks to uncover a widely-occurring yet surprisingly underexplored process of institutional change that follows from increased transparency. Contrary to earlier accounts of correlations between transparency and informalisation, the author finds that both concepts are not necessarily contradictory. Instead, informality can in fact contribute to transparency goals and help legitimise decision-making.
An elastic-network based local molecular field analysis of zinc-finger proteins

description: We study two designed and one natural zinc-finger peptide each with the Cys2His2 (CCHH) type of metal binding motif. In the approach we have developed, we describe the role of the protein and solvent outside the Zn(II)-CCHH metal-residue cluster by a molecular field represented by generalized harmonic restraints. The strength of the field is adjusted to reproduce the binding energy distribution of the metal with the cluster obtained in a reference all-atom simulation with empirical potentials. The quadratic field allows us to investigate analytically the protein restraints on the binding site in terms of its eigenmodes. Examining these eigenmodes suggests, consistent with experimental observations, the importance of the first histidine (H) in the CCHH cluster in metal binding. Further, the eigenvalues corresponding to these modes also indicate that the designed proteins form a tighter complex with the metal. We find that the bulk protein and solvent response tends to destabilize metal-binding, emphasizing that the favorable energetics of metal-residue interaction is necessary to drive folding in this system. The representation of the bulk protein and solvent response by a local field allows us to perform Monte Carlo simulations of the metal-residue cluster using quantum-chemical approaches, here using a semi-empirical Hamiltonian. For configurations sampled from this simulation, we study the free energy of replacing Zn(II) with Fe(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) using density functional theory. The calculated selectivities are in fair agreement with experimental results.

description: We report the discovery by B. G. Harris and S. Dvorak on JD 2455224.9385 (2010 Jan 28.4385 UT) of the predicted eruption of the recurrent nova U Scorpii (U Sco). We also report on 815 magnitudes (and 16 useful limits) on the pre-eruption light curve in the UBVRI and Sloan r' and i' bands from 2000.4 up to 9 hours before the peak of the January 2010 eruption. We found no significant long-term variations, though we did find frequent fast variations (flickering) with amplitudes up to 0.4 mag. We show that U Sco did not have any rises or dips with amplitude greater than 0.2 mag on timescales from one day to one year before the eruption. We find that the peak of this eruption occurred at JD 2455224.69+-0.07 and the start of the rise was at JD 2455224.32+-0.12. From our analysis of the average B-band flux between eruptions, we find that the total mass accreted between eruptions is consistent with being a constant, in agreement with a strong prediction of nova trigger theory. The date of the next eruption can be anticipated with an accuracy of +-5 months by following the average B-band magnitudes for the next ~10 years, although at this time we can only predict that the next eruption will be in the year 2020+-2.
