description: The microbiota-gut-brain axis is a crucial link to peripheral and central nervous systems, with gut health implicated in health and disease, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and stress. The objective of this dissertation is to explore the role of strengthening the gut microbiota in brain health and early-AD pathologies. First, I will investigate the effects of probiotic supplementation on cognitive function, brain inflammation, and gut microbiota composition. We employed a locus coeruleus hyperphosphorylated pretangle tau rat model, which closely resembles preclinical AD. Rats with pseudophosphorylated human tau in the LC showed deficits in spatial and olfactory learning, increased microglia and astrocyte activity, blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakage, and elevated peripheral inflammation. Probiotic supplementation increased gut microbiome diversity, optimized bacterial composition, and ameliorated cognitive deficits. A reduction in inflammation and glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK-3β) activity in the hippocampus of female rats was observed, suggesting gut health modulation as a potential therapeutic strategy in preclinical AD, and providing a possible mechanism underlying AD sex differences. Second, I examined the effects of probiotics prior to chronic stress or enrichment on cognitive function and brain health. Probiotics prevented stress-induced spatial memory impairments and enhanced learning under enrichment conditions. We propose this is linked to increased gut microbiome diversity and eubiosis, which was observed in our animals. Probiotics prevented increased levels of the microglia marker ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba-1) found in stressed rats and showed differences in BBB integrity and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) levels in the hippocampus between stress and enrichment groups, with beneficial effects observed in enriched animals. These findings highlight the potential of probiotics to enhance cognitive function and brain health through modulation of the gut microbiota, offering a non-invasive therapeutic approach for AD and stress-related cognitive decline.

description: The dense clusters within the Serpens Molecular Cloud are among the most active regions of nearby star formation. In this paper, we use Gaia DR2 parallaxes and proper motions to statistically measure 1167 kinematic members of Serpens, few of which were previously identified, to evaluate the star formation history of the complex. The optical members of Serpens are concentrated in three distinct groups located at 380 to 480 pc; the densest clusters are still highly obscured by optically-thick dust and have few optical members. The total population of young stars and protostars in Serpens is at least 2000 stars, including past surveys that were most sensitive to protostars and disks, and may be far higher. Distances to dark clouds measured from deficits in star counts are consistent with the distances to the optical star clusters. The Serpens Molecular Cloud is seen in the foreground of the Aquila Rift, dark clouds located at 600 to 700 pc, and behind patchy extinction, here called the Serpens Cirrus, located at ~250 pc. Based on the lack of a distributed population of older stars, the star formation rate throughout the Serpens Molecular Cloud increased by at least a factor of 20 within the past ~5 Myr. The optically bright stars in Serpens Northeast are visible because their natal molecular cloud has been eroded and not because they were flung outwards from a central factory of star formation. The separation between subclusters of 20 to 100 pc and the absence of an older population leads to speculation that an external forcing was needed to trigger the active star formation.

description: We consider the task of identifying human actions visible in online videos. We focus on the widely spread genre of lifestyle vlogs, which consist of videos of people performing actions while verbally describing them. Our goal is to identify if actions mentioned in the speech description of a video are visually present. We construct a dataset with crowdsourced manual annotations of visible actions, and introduce a multimodal algorithm that leverages information derived from visual and linguistic clues to automatically infer which actions are visible in a video. We demonstrate that our multimodal algorithm outperforms algorithms based only on one modality at a time.

description: Upon chemical substitution of oxygen with fluor, LaMnAsO has been electron-doped in experiments, resulting in samples with remarkably high Seebeck coefficients of around -300$μVK^{-1}$ at room temperature and 3% doping. Within the framework of density functional theory plus dynamical mean-field theory we are not only able to reproduce these experimental observations, but can also provide a thorough investigation of the underlying mechanisms. By considering electronic correlations in the half-filled Mn-3d shells, we trace the high Seebeck coefficient back to an asymmetry in the spectral function, which is due to emergence of incoherent spectral weight under doping and a strong renormalisation of the unoccupied states. This is only possible in correlated systems and cannot be explained by DFT-based band structure calculations.

description: This paper will briefly describe the history and intent of the NTA 1993; survey outcomes flowing from its implementation, especially in reference to economic implications of agreements between parties; and consider future prospects, particularly by reference to the amended legislation which came into force on 30 September 1998. The use of case studies will illustrate a highly varied range of positive outcomes, which might be seen as revealing a new willingness on the part of Australian society generally to engage positively with Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders on a scale not envisaged prior to the High Court’s Mabo decision in 1992. The paper considers the participation of the broader community and the acknowledgment of existing rights and interests, and includes reference to the issues of willingness and good faith on behalf of parties and government. It will be argued that the NTA 1993 is driving a process of reconciliation through the forging of new relationships, understanding and respect; awakening the country to opportunities for partnerships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians; and generally providing a force for economic recovery and independence from social welfare among Indigenous communities. Among other matters, the amended legislation promotes new opportunities for dealing with land and resource management issues in regional or area settings. Such Indigenous Land Use Agreements (ILUAs) have the potential to become broadly-used instruments for ensuring that native title and resource development become more closely related in terms of long-run regional partnerships deriving from an agreements culture, rather than being viewed as onerous matters to be dealt with - or avoided - according to the letter of the law. Reference will be made to an emerging literature on native title and resource management.
Describing phase transitions in field theory by self-similar approximants

description: Self-similar approximation theory is shown to be a powerful tool for describing phase transitions in quantum field theory. Self-similar approximants present the extrapolation of asymptotic series in powers of small variables to the arbitrary values of the latter, including the variables tending to infinity. The approach is illustrated by considering three problems: (i) The influence of the coupling parameter strength on the critical temperature of the O(N)-symmetric multicomponent field theory. (ii) The calculation of critical exponents for the phase transition in the O(N)-symmetric field theory. (iii) The evaluation of deconfinement temperature in quantum chromodynamics. The results are in good agreement with the available numerical calculations, such as Monte Carlo simulations, Pade-Borel summation, and lattice data.

description: This study investigates a spatial externality common in invasive species control decisions made by multiple, spatially-connected decision makers (i.e., individual landowners, state and federal agencies, etc.). The externality arises due to the different spatial considerations of decision-makers which drives a wedge between individual and social damages, and results in a suboptimal level of individual control. The number of decision makers, the size of individual parcels, and the spatial configuration of small and large parcels influence the severity of the externality and consequently the insufficiency of privately supplied invasive species control. To internalize the externality, this paper provides a corrective mechanism in which individuals compensate invaded individuals for control actions that preserve uninvaded areas. These results shed light on the coordination problem in transboundary invasive species issues.
Large Margin Multi-modal Multi-task Feature Extraction for Image Classification

description: The features used in many image analysis-based applications are frequently of very high dimension. Feature extraction offers several advantages in high-dimensional cases, and many recent studies have used multi-task feature extraction approaches, which often outperform single-task feature extraction approaches. However, most of these methods are limited in that they only consider data represented by a single type of feature, even though features usually represent images from multiple modalities. We therefore propose a novel large margin multi-modal multi-task feature extraction (LM3FE) framework for handling multi-modal features for image classification. In particular, LM3FE simultaneously learns the feature extraction matrix for each modality and the modality combination coefficients. In this way, LM3FE not only handles correlated and noisy features, but also utilizes the complementarity of different modalities to further help reduce feature redundancy in each modality. The large margin principle employed also helps to extract strongly predictive features so that they are more suitable for prediction (e.g., classification). An alternating algorithm is developed for problem optimization and each sub-problem can be efficiently solved. Experiments on two challenging real-world image datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.

description: In the era of big data, discovery of spatial communities in vehicle movements plays a key role in understanding the urban structures and functions. While a number of community detection methods can be used to detect spatial communities in vehicle movements, these methods are usually designed without considering the network-constraint of vehicles and testing the significance of spatial communities. On that account, this study develops an ant colony optimization-based spatial scan statistic to detect statistically significant spatial communities in vehicle movements on urban road network. Road segments are used as basic units to represent the moving paths of vehicles. The spatial scan statistic is generalized to weighted spatially embedded graph to provide quantitative assessment for spatial communities, and the generalized spatial scan statistic and ant colony optimization are combined to detect arbitrarily shaped spatial communities. A Monte Carlo simulation method is developed to estimate the statistical significance of each detected spatial community. The effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated by using both simulated and taxi GPS trajectory data sets.

description: Layers of twisted bilayer graphene exhibit varieties of exotic quantum phenomena1-5. Today, the twist angle Θ has become an important degree of freedom for exploring novel states of matters, i.e. two-dimensional superconductivity ( Θ = 1.1°)6, 7 and a two-dimensional quasicrystal (Θ = 30°)8, 9. We report herein experimental observation on the photo-induced ultrafast dynamics of Dirac fermions in the quasicrystalline 30° twisted bilayer graphene (QCTBG). We discover that hot carriers are asymmetrically distributed between the two graphene layers, followed by the opposing femtosecond relaxations, by using time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The key mechanism involves the differing carrier transport between layers and the transient doping from the substrate interface. The ultrafast dynamics scheme continues after the Umklapp scattering, which is induced by the incommensurate interlayer stacking of the quasi-crystallinity. The dynamics in the atomic layer opens the possibility of new applications and creates interdisciplinary links in the optoelectronics of van der Waals crystals.

description: The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has published several recommendations for building and storing ontologies, including the most recent OWL 2 Web Ontology Language (OWL). These initiatives have been followed by practical implementations that popularize OWL in various domains. For example, OWL has been used for conceptual modeling in industrial engineering, and its reasoning facilities are used to provide a wealth of services, e.g. model diagnosis, automated code generation, and semantic integration. More specifically, recent studies have shown that OWL is well suited for harmonizing information of engineering tools stored as AutomationML (AML) files. However, OWL and its tools can be cumbersome for direct use by engineers such that an ontology expert is often required in practice. Although much attention has been paid in the literature to overcome this issue by transforming OWL ontologies from/to AML models automatically, dealing with OWL complex classes remains an open research question. In this paper, we introduce the AML concept models for representing OWL complex classes in AutomationML, and present algorithms for the bidirectional translation between OWL complex classes and their corresponding AML concept models. We show that this approach provides an efficient and intuitive interface for nonexperts to visualize, modify, and create OWL complex classes.

description: We describe the development of a new object kinetic Monte Carlo code where the elementary defect objects are off-lattice atomistic configurations. Atomic-level transitions are used to transform and translate objects, to split objects and to merge them together. This gradually constructs a database of atomic configurations -- a set of relevant defect objects and their possible events generated on-the-fly. Elastic interactions are handled within objects with empirical potentials at short distances, and between spatially distinct objects using the dipole tensor formalism. The model is shown to evolve mobile interstitial clusters in tungsten faster than an equivalent molecular dynamics simulation, even at elevated temperatures. We apply the model to the evolution of complex defects generated using molecular dynamics simulations of primary radiation damage in tungsten. We show that we can evolve defect structures formed in cascade simulations to experimentally observable timescales of seconds while retaining atomistic detail. We conclude that the first few nanoseconds of simulation following cascade initiation would be better performed using molecular dynamics, as this will capture some of the near-temperature-independent evolution of small highly-mobile interstitial clusters. We also conclude that, for the 20keV PKA cascades annealing simulations considered here, internal relaxations of sessile objects difficult to capture using conventional object KMC with idealised object geometries establish the conditions for long timescale evolution.

description: Strong electron-phonon interaction in cuprates has gathered support over the last decade in a number of experiments. While phonons remain almost unrenormalised, electrons are transformed into itinerent bipolarons and thermally excited polarons when the electron-phonon interaction is strong. We calculate the Lorenz number of the system to show that the Wiedemann-Franz law breaks down because of the interference of polaron and bipolaron contributions in the heat flow. The model fits numerically the experimental Hall Lorenz number, which provides a direct evidence for bipolarons in the cuprates.

description: Sustained growth in productivity is closelyassociated with improvement in child nutrition, adulthealth, and schooling. In other words, investment inhuman capital is at a premium in rural development.We examined the role of human capital (HC)onfarmer‟s resource use efficiency empirically (RUE).Population sample covered 6 local government areasin Oyo state from which 120 households wereselected using multistage sampling technique. Anindex of human capital (HC) was developed usingprincipal component analysis. Controlling for other covariates, the effect of human capital on resource use efficiency (RUE) was estimated using the frontier 4.1 package. Results showed that the mean HC for the population was 40% and ranged from 11% to 71% maximum. RUE scores ranged from 18.56 percent to 94.42 percent with a mean of 65.18 percent. The result suggests potential increase in cassava production by 54% through human capital improvement.

description: Field-driven phase transitions generally arise from competition between Zeeman energy and exchange or crystal-field anisotropy. Here we present the phase diagram of a frustrated pyrochlore magnet Gd2Ti2O7, where crystal field splitting is small compared to the dipolar energy. We find good agreement between zero-temperature critical fields and those obtained from a mean-field model. Here, dipolar interactions couple real-space and spin-space, so the transitions in Gd2Ti2O7 arise from field-induced "cooperative anisotropy" reflecting the broken spatial symmetries of the pyrochlore lattice.

A proposal for an intense radioactive beams facility
Creators: name: ISAC
Publisher: name: TRIUMF
Year: 2016

description: The last decade has seen a growing worldwide interest in the possibility of generating beams of unstable nuclei for use in a variety of applications ranging from nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics through atomic physics, condensed matter physics, medicine, etc. This interest has been generated by the considerable improvements which have occurred over the past 20 years in the fields of heavy-ion acceleration, ion sources and, more particularly, in on-line production and separation of unstable nuclear isotopes (ISOL), in the development of high-resolution isotope separators, and in advances in experimental techniques, such as ion trapping. Coupling very intense production sources of unstable elements to efficient accelerator structures should lead to the general availability of radioactive beams for a wide range of nuclei far from the line of stability. The high energy (500 MeV) and high intensity (> 100 μA) proton beam from the TRIUMF cyclotron makes TRIUMF the prime choice for a radioactive beams facility in North America. The present proposal is based upon the experience which has been gathered at TRIUMF in the operation of its test facility (TISOL) for the on-line production of isotopes, its expertise in ion sources, its experience in handling high-intensity proton beams, and on the development of RFQ accelerators. The goal is to accept proton beams of up to 10 μA on a production target, separate the relevant species in an appropriate ISOL separator, and to accelerate the accepted ions up to an energy of 1.5 MeV /u. Products from the target/ion source will be available over a very wide mass range due to the high energy of the proton beam. The acceleration of the extracted ions will be accomplished by continuous ( CW) RFQ and two-stage linac structures, will accept ions with q/A ≤ 1/30, and could be expanded to higher energies in the future. The primary focus of the subatomic physics programme for ISAC will be: • Studies of fundamental interactions in particle physics using β-decaying nuclei; • Studies of the Standard Model using parity violation in atomic systems such as selected Cs and Fr isotopes; • Studies of nuclear reactions of interest in astrophysics; • Studies of nuclear reactions below the Coulomb barrier. Other fields of research will include: • Studies of condensed matter structures via radioactive impurities; • Production of selected isotopes for medical imaging. The cost of the ISAC facility has been estimated at $46,000,000, inclusive of salaries and buildings; it could be in full operation by the middle of 1999. By then the ISAC facility would be a unique instrument which would provide Canadian physicists with the best radioactive beams facility in the world. It also paves the way to the ultimate facility ISL (ISospin Laboratory) as defined by the United States nuclear physics community in their long-range planning.

description: Marine protected areas are probably the most prevailing instruments available to reduce the over-exploitation of marine resources. However, economic incentives and a lack of acceptance of regulations of fishers can lead to illegal fishing activities, causing further over-exploitation with negative consequences for livelihood and food security of communities. There are indications that in some places, dive operators reduce incentives for illegal fishing through contributing to the economic development of the area, surveillance activities and social programs. This project aims at exploring the relationship between the diving tourism industry and illegal shark fisheries in the shark sanctuary of the Maldives in order to understand the capacities and incentives of diving tourism to improve fishers’ compliance. I will use survey techniques to determine the financial revenue of the shark diving industry and examine the historical development of its socio-economic importance. Surveys will also explore whether illegal fishing activities influence the trip demand of tourists and analyse what different circumstances are most likely to motivate dive operators to address illegal fishing through certain actions. Finally, I will use a Bayesian Network model to investigate what effects dive operators’ actions have on fishers’ compliance, the condition of shark populations and ultimately the number of tourists visiting the area. Results can help to diminish user conflicts and improve compliance of fishers in the Maldives. Hence, this project can contribute to the conservation of shark populations with positive outcomes for the local economy, community and marine ecosystems. My findings can be applied to other places that face similar problems like the shark sanctuary in the Maldives.

description: The HIFI data processing pipeline was developed to systematically process diagnostic, calibration and astronomical observations taken with the HIFI science instrumentas part of the Herschel mission. The HIFI pipeline processed data from all HIFI observing modes within the Herschel automated processing environment, as well as, within an interactive environment. A common software framework was developed to best support the use cases required by the instrument teams and by the general astronomers. The HIFI pipeline was built on top of that and was designed with a high degree of modularity. This modular design provided the necessary flexibility and extensibility to deal with the complexity of batch-processing eighteen different observing modes, to support the astronomers in the interactive analysis and to cope with adjustments necessary to improve the pipeline and the quality of the end-products. This approach to the software development and data processing effort was arrived at by coalescing the lessons learned from similar research based projects with the understanding that a degree of foresight was required given the overall length of the project. In this article, both the successes and challenges of the HIFI software development process are presented. To support future similar projects and retain experience gained lessons learned are extracted.

description: We give a self-contained presentation and comparison of two different algorithms to explicitly solve quantum many body models of indistinguishable particles moving on a circle and interacting with two-body potentials of $1/\sin^2$-type. The first algorithm is due to Sutherland and well-known; the second one is a limiting case of a novel algorithm to solve the elliptic generalization of the Sutherland model. These two algorithms are different in several details. We show that they are equivalent, i.e., they yield the same solution and are equally simple.

description: We extend the correspondence between metric-affine Ricci-Based Gravity theories and General Relativity (GR) to the case in which the matter sector is represented by linear and nonlinear electromagnetic fields. This complements previous studies focused on fluids and scalar fields. We establish the general algorithm that relates the matter fields in the GR and RBG frames and consider some applications. In particular, we find that the so-called Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity theory coupled to Maxwell electromagnetism is in direct correspondence with GR coupled to Born-Infeld electromagnetism. We comment on the potential phenomenological implications of this relation.

description: Using Jensen’s inequality (and its mathematical generalization), this contribution shows how increased seasonal (periodic) variability of demand for tourism services can increase the annual profit of a tourism enterprise and the producers’ surplus of a corresponding competitive segment of the tourism industry experiencing this increased variability. It identifies conditions which result in these effects being magnified and takes account of the fact that a tourism business’ supply of services is often subject to capacity utilization constraints. A novel feature is that allowance is made for the possibility that variations in the market demand for tourism services may alter the prices of factors of production.

description: The Uganda business climate has continued to improve for the second successive quarter. This implies that the conditions for doing business in Uganda are getting better. The current (January - March 2014) index is 113.4 points and is 16.4 percentage points higher when compared to the corresponding period last year (January - March 2013) when the index was 97.4 points. The annual improvement in the business climate was sustained by a stronger than expected consumer demand, stable macroeconomic environment characterized by low and falling inflation, stable exchange rates, and lower interest rates. In addition, the business environment was aided by stronger export demand for Ugandan products in both regional and international markets. However, perceptions and expectations for next quarter (April – June 2014) are downcast. Overall, results suggest that the business climate improved modestly but maintained a favourable sentiment. In addition, the business climate index indicates some modest improvements in job creation in the current quarter.
