description: We define the (dynamical) core of a topological polynomial (and the associated lamination). This notion extends that of the core of a unimodal interval map. Two explicit descriptions of the core are given: one related to periodic objects and one related to critical objects. We describe all laminations associated with quadratic and cubic topological polynomials with a simple core (in the quadratic case, these correspond precisely to points on the Main Cardioid of the Mandelbrot set).

description: This work describes Raman imaging and its data evaluation methods by using the softwares original features: built-in fitting function and K-means cluster analysis KMC followed by fitting in an external environment. For the first time, these methods were compared in terms of their principles, limitations, versatility, and process duration. The performed analysis showed the indispensability of Raman imaging in terms of phase distribution, phase content calculation, and stress determination. Zirconium oxide formed on different zirconium alloys under various oxidation conditions was selected as an exemplary material for this analysis. The reason for the material choice is that it is an excellent example of the application of this type of Raman analysis since both phase distribution and stress analysis in zirconium oxide are of crucial importance for the development of zirconium alloys, especially for nuclear applications. The juxtaposition of the results showed advantages and limitations of both procedures allowing a definition of the criteria for selecting the evaluation method for different applications.

description: In sports and movement sciences isometric muscle function is usually measured by pushing against a stable resistance. However, subjectively one can hold or push isometrically. Several investigations suggest a distinction of those forms. The aim of this study was to investigate whether these two forms of isometric muscle action can be distinguished by objective parameters in an interpersonal setting. 20 subjects were grouped in 10 same sex pairs, in which one partner should perform the pushing isometric muscle action (PIMA) and the other partner executed the holding isometric muscle action (HIMA). The partners had contact at the distal forearms via an interface, which included a strain gauge and an acceleration sensor. The mechanical oscillations of the triceps brachii (MMGtri) muscle, its tendon (MTGtri) and the abdominal muscle (MMGobl) were recorded by a piezoelectric-sensor-based measurement system. Each partner performed three 15s (80% MVIC) and two fatiguing trials (90% MVIC) during PIMA and HIMA, respectively. Parameters to compare PIMA and HIMA were the mean frequency, the normalized mean amplitude, the amplitude variation, the power in the frequency range of 8 to 15 Hz, a special power-frequency ratio and the number of task failures during HIMA or PIMA (partner who quit the task). A “HIMA failure” occurred in 85% of trials (p < 0.001). No significant differences between PIMA and HIMA were found for the mean frequency and normalized amplitude. The MMGobl showed significantly higher values of amplitude variation (15s: p = 0.013; fatiguing: p = 0.007) and of power-frequency-ratio (15s: p = 0.040; fatiguing: p = 0.002) during HIMA and a higher power in the range of 8 to 15 Hz during PIMA (15s: p = 0.001; fatiguing: p = 0.011). MMGtri and MTGtri showed no significant differences. Based on the findings it is suggested that a holding and a pushing isometric muscle action can be distinguished objectively, whereby a more complex neural control is assumed for HIMA.

In the wrong place, or at excessive concentrations, nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) and sediment become contaminants. Along with pathogens, they require reduction to improve water quality. Our Land and Water National Science Challenge (OLW NSC) and Ministry for the Environment (MfE) have commissioned a research programme ‘Mapping Contaminants from Source to Sink’ to inform both national and local government policy and planning on the fate of freshwater contaminants, specifically nitrogen and phosphorus species, sediment, and microbes in our environment and will be used to support the implementation of the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management (2020). The overall objective of this project is to produce a national landscape classification for water quality to support contaminant risk assessment for policy option development. The classification units will describe contaminant processes within parcels of land, surface water and shallow groundwater (hydrologically connected to streams and rivers).
The landscape classification provides a system for identifying and grouping individual land parcels according to their risk for water quality, applied separately for nitrogen and phosphorus species, sediment, and microbial contaminants. The water quality risk describes the intersection of three factors: 1. the pressure from land use and management contributing to contaminant generation, 2. the inherent susceptibility of the landscape to contaminant mobilisation, and 3. the vulnerability of downstream receiving environments to contaminant loads.The framework draws attention to the importance of mapping and classifying inherent susceptibility of the landscape to contaminant mobilisation and delivery.

Computational methods for systems biology data of cancer
Creators: name: Ding, Jiarui
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: High-throughput genome sequencing and other techniques provide a cost-effective way to study cancer biology and seek precision treatment options. In this dissertation I address three challenges in cancer systems biology research: 1) predicting somatic mutations, 2) interpreting mutation functions, and 3) stratifying patients into biologically meaningful groups. Somatic single nucleotide variants are frequent therapeutically actionable mutations in cancer, e.g., the ‘hotspot’ mutations in known cancer driver genes such as EGFR, KRAS, and BRAF. However, only a small proportion of cancer patients harbour these known driver mutations. Therefore, there is a great need to systematically profile a cancer genome to identify all the somatic single nucleotide variants. I develop methods to discover these somatic mutations from cancer genomic sequencing data, taking into account the noise in high-throughput sequencing data and valuable validated genuine somatic mutations and non-somatic mutations. Of the somatic alterations acquired for each cancer patient, only a few mutations ‘drive’ the initialization and progression of cancer. To better understand the evolution of cancer, as well as to apply precision treatments, we need to assess the functions of these mutations to pinpoint the driver mutations. I address this challenge by predicting the mutations correlated with gene expression dysregulation. The method is based on hierarchical Bayes modelling of the influence of mutations on gene expression, and can predict the mutations that impact gene expression in individual patients. Although probably no two cancer genomes share exactly the same set of somatic mutations because of the stochastic nature of acquired mutations across the three billion base pairs, some cancer patients share common driver mutations or disrupted pathways. These patients may have similar prognoses and potentially benefit from the same kind of treatment options. I develop an efficient clustering algorithm to cluster high-throughput and high-dimensional bio- logical datasets, with the potential to put cancer patients into biologically meaningful groups for treatment selection.

description: I clarify some recent confusion regarding the holographic description of finite-density systems in two dimensions. Notably, the chiral anomaly for symmetry currents in 2d conformal field theories (CFT) completely determines their correlators. The important exception is a CFT with a gauge theory to which we may couple an external current, as in the probe D3/D3 system or the putative dual to the charged BTZ black hole. These systems are analyzed with an eye for potential condensed matter applications.

description: Context Microvascular thrombosis is a critical event in severe acute pancreatitis. Human recombinant activated protein C (Xigris®, Eli Lilly, Indianapolis, IN, USA) modulates the interplay between pro-inflammatory and pro-coagulant pathways and maintains microvascular patency. However, the anticoagulant properties of Xigris® may precipitate bleeding from the inflamed pancreas. Objective This study tests the hypothesis that Xigris® can ameliorate experimental acute pancreatitis without causing pancreatic haemorrhage. Methods Sprague Dawley rats were allocated as follows: Group 1: control (n=7); Group 2: acute pancreatitis (n=6); Group 3: administration of Xigris® 500 µg/kg body weight before induction of acute pancreatitis (n=6); and Group 4: Administration of Xigris® 500 µg/kg body weight 30 minutes after induction of acute pancreatitis (n=6). Acute pancreatitis was induced by intraperitoneal administration of L-arginine 300 mg/100 g body weight. Animals were sacrificed at 48 hours and biochemical, haematological, and histological markers of pancreatic haemorrhage and inflammation assessed. Results Median lipase in animals with acute pancreatitis was 10 U/mL (range: 7-16 U/mL) compared to 5.5 (range: 3-8 U/mL) in controls (P=0.028). Lipase was also elevated in animals given Xigris® both before (12 U/mL, range: 8-22 U/mL; P=0.031 vs. control group) and after (46 U/mL, range: 9-71 U/mL; P=0.015 vs. control group) induction of acute pancreatitis). Haemoglobin levels were similar among all groups (P=0.323). There was no histological evidence of pancreatic haemorrhage in animals treated with Xigris®. Pre-treatment with Xigris® was associated with a significant reduction in pancreatic injury. This effect was absent when Xigris® was administered after induction of acute pancreatitis. Conclusion Xigris® did not lead to pancreatic haemorrhage in experimental acute pancreatitis. Administration of Xigris® prior to induction of acute pancreatitis was associated with amelioration of injury. This effect was not seen with administration of Xigris® after induction of acute pancreatitis.

Crossing the confinement induced resonance the correlation between the bosons increases, and introduces an effective range for the interaction potential. Using the mapping onto the sine-Gordon model and a Hubbard model in the strongly interacting regime allows us to derive the phase diagram in the presence of an optical lattice. We demonstrate the appearance of a phase transition from a Luttinger liquid with algebraic correlations into a crystalline phase with a particle on every second lattice site.

description: The location determination in obstructed area can be very challenging especially if Global Positioning System are blocked. Users will find it difficult to navigate directly on-site in such condition, especially indoor car park lot or obstructed environment. Sometimes, it needs to combine with other sensors and positioning methods in order to determine the location with more intelligent, reliable and ubiquity. By using ubiquitous positioning in mobile navigation system, it is a promising ubiquitous location technique in a mobile phone since as it is a familiar personal electronic device for many people. However, as research on ubiquitous positioning systems goes beyond basic methods there is an increasing need for better comparison of proposed ubiquitous positioning systems. System developers are also lacking of good frameworks for understanding different options during building ubiquitous positioning systems. This paper proposes taxonomy to address both of these problems. The proposed taxonomy has been constructed from a literature study of papers and articles on positioning estimation that can be used to determine location everywhere on mobile navigation system. For researchers the taxonomy can also be used as an aid for scoping out future research in the area of ubiquitous positioning.

description: A phenomenological analysis is presented of recent two-particle angular correlation data on relative pseudorapidity ($η$) and azimuth reported by the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Collaboration for $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV proton-proton collisions. The data are described with an empirical jet-like model developed for similar angular correlation measurements obtained from heavy ion collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The same-side (small relative azimuth), $η$-extended correlation structure, referred to as the {\em ridge}, is compared with three phenomenological correlation structures suggested by theoretical analysis. These include additional angular correlations due to soft gluon radiation in $2 \rightarrow 3$ partonic processes, a one-dimensional same-side correlation ridge on azimuth motivated for example by color-glass condensate models, and an azimuth quadrupole similar to that required to describe heavy ion angular correlations. The quadrupole model provides the best overall description of the CMS data, including the ridge, based on $χ^2$ minimization in agreement with previous studies. Implications of these results with respect to possible mechanisms for producing the CMS same-side correlation ridge are discussed.

description: Context Lymphoepithelial cysts of the pancreas are a rare disease of true pancreatic cysts, the cause of which is unknown. The differential diagnosis is broad and includes many benign and malignant cystic lesions of the pancreas and surrounding organs. A combination of imaging modalities and fine needle aspiration might narrow the differential diagnosis. However, the final diagnosis can only be achieved with certainty after resection of the cyst. Case report The present case report is a lymphoepithelial cyst of the pancreas that was resected laparoscopically. A 53-year-old man was incidentally found to have a cystic tumor in the tail of the pancreas after undergoing an abdominal ultrasound, which showed a 41x33 mm cystic mass in the pancreatic tail. He had no abdominal symptoms. Laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy were performed. Histologic examination revealed a lymphoepithelial cyst. Conclusion Herein, we discuss the diagnostic difficulties and management decisions that face surgeons treating pancreatic cysts.

description: We employ the sign-problem-free projector determinant quantum Monte Carlo method to study a microscopic model of SU($N$) fermions with singlet-bond and triplet-current interactions on the square lattice. We find the gapped singlet $p_x$ and gapless triplet $d_{x^2-y^2}$ density wave states in the half-filled $N=4$ model. Specifically, the triplet $d_{x^2-y^2}$ density wave order is observed in the weak triplet-current interaction regime. As the triplet-current interaction strength is further increased, our simulations demonstrate a transition to the singlet $p_x$ density wave state, accompanied by a gapped mixed-ordered area where the two orders coexist. With increasing singlet-bond interaction strength, the triplet $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave order persists up to a critical point after which the singlet $p_x$ density wave state is stabilized, while the ground state is disordered in between the two ordered phases. The analytical continuation is then performed to derive the single-particle spectrum. In the spectra of triplet $d_{x^2-y^2}$ and singlet $p_x$ density waves, the anisotropic Dirac cone and the parabolic shape around the Dirac point are observed, respectively. As for the mixed-ordered area, a single-particle gap opens and the velocities remain anisotropic at the Dirac point.

Investigating metal attenuation processes in mixed sulfide carbonate bearing waste rock
Creators: name: Laurenzi, Laura
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: The objective of this study was to identify the trace metal/secondary mineral phase associations in a heterogeneous waste rock dump that contains carbonate bearing lithologies and a mix of metal sulfides. The identification of attenuation processes can be used to better predict the drainage chemistry from waste rock at this site and/or other sites with similar waste rock. This study also provides the opportunity to investigate metal attenuation at the largest scale of complexity and compare these observations to those made from the smaller scale tests conducted for this site and is useful for understanding scalability of the smaller scale tests. This study shows that in carbonate bearing waste rock the predominant processes that attenuate copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) are precipitation of hydroxycarbonate and hydroxysulfate phases and sorption onto iron oxides. Arsenic (As) and molybdenum (Mo) are associated with iron oxides, although for Mo this association was observed in only a few samples. Lead (Pb) was observed in association with iron oxides. Wulfenite observed in a few samples provides an additional attenuation process for Mo and Pb. The stability of the phases and potential for remobilization of these metals can also be suggested from this study. The hydroxycarbonate/hydroxysulfate phases are the least stable phases identified and can dissolve at pH<5. Iron oxides are considered a stable phase, as such, the As, Cu, Pb and Zn associated with these phases may also be quite stable. Sorption of Mo is limited at neutral pH but wulfenite is a stable phase that is not expected to dissolve once formed. Geochemical modelling of seepages from the dump show that iron oxides are supersaturated and wulfenite and gypsum are at equilibrium. Two mixed Cu:Zn hydroxycarbonate phases and hydrozincite were added to the geochemical database and are supersaturated, while malachite and smithsonite were generally undersaturated. Brochantite and antlerite were also generally undersaturated, but the observations made in this study show that copper hydroxysulfates and mixed copper/zinc hydroxysulfates are precipitating. In mixed sulfide/carbonate bearing waste rock mixed of Cu:Zn hydroxycarbonate and hydroxysulfate phases may require consideration for adequate prediction of Cu and Zn concentrations in drainage.

description: We propose a framework for the deployment and subsequent autonomic management of component-based distributed applications. An initial deployment goal is specified using a declarative constraint language, expressing constraints over aspects such as component-host mappings and component interconnection topology. A constraint solver is used to find a configuration that satisfies the goal, and the configuration is deployed automatically. The deployed application is instrumented to allow subsequent autonomic management. If, during execution, the manager detects that the original goal is no longer being met, the satisfy/deploy process can be repeated automatically in order to generate a revised deployment that does meet the goal.

description: The Sersic model has become the standard to parametrize the surface brightness distribution of early-type galaxies and bulges of spiral galaxies. A major problem is that the deprojection of the Sersic surface brightness profile to a luminosity density cannot be executed analytically for general values of the Sersic index. Mazure & Capelato (2002) used the Mathematica computer package to derive an expression of the Sersic luminosity density in terms of the Meijer G function for integer values of the Sersic index. We generalize this work using analytical means and use Mellin integral transforms to derive an exact, analytical expression for the luminosity density in terms of the Fox H function for all values of the Sersic index. We derive simplified expressions for the luminosity density, cumulative luminosity and gravitational potential in terms of the Meijer G function for all rational values of the Sersic index and we investigate their asymptotic behaviour at small and large radii. As implementations of the Meijer G function are nowadays available both in symbolic computer algebra packages and as high-performance computing code, our results open up the possibility to calculate the density of the Sersic models to arbitrary precision.

Simulation of the mechanical behaviour of low density paper and an individual inter-fibre bond
Creators: name: Targhagh, Majid
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: The strength of paper is a multi-scale problem. Although paper is a thin product, its strength depends on the characteristics of the microstructure in the thickness direction as well as the orientation of each fiber. Characterizing the effect of these morphological properties of the papermaking fibres on the strength of paper is a vital step in understanding the behaviour of paper handsheets. Numerical simulation methods, such as the Finite Element Method (FEM) enable us to simulate the mechanical behaviour of paper using the actual geometry of the papermaking fibres. In this work, two groups of FE simulations were performed to study the pre-failure behaviour of an individual inter-fibre bond as well as the response of the low density paper geometries, formed based on the Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft (NBSK) fibres, to uni-axial tensile deformation. The simulation geometries were formed based on the actual geometry of the NBSK fibres that were extracted from the µCT scan of the paper handsheets. The results of the simulations were used to study the effect of the morphological properties of NBSK fibres such as length and diameter on the peeling strength of the bond, and the effect of the properties of the geometry, such as basis weight, mixture of hardwood and softwood fibres, and length and thickness of the NBSK fibres, on the tensile index of the geometry. These results showed that the simulation geometries with a higher basis weight and smaller fibre’s elastic modulus lead to a lower tensile index. Further, it is shown that the increase in the softwood content of the hardwood/softwood mixed geometries increased the bulk tensile index of paper. Finally, the results of the tensile strength simulations were compared to the results of the experimental tensile strength tests that were performed on the actual paper handsheets. The results of these simulations provide a new insight into the mechanical behaviour of paper and interaction of fibres under deformation of paper.

description: This paper presents a complete workflow designed for extracting information from Quebec handwritten parish registers. The acts in these documents contain individual and family information highly valuable for genetic, demographic and social studies of the Quebec population. From an image of parish records, our workflow is able to identify the acts and extract personal information. The workflow is divided into successive steps: page classification, text line detection, handwritten text recognition, named entity recognition and act detection and classification. For all these steps, different machine learning models are compared. Once the information is extracted, validation rules designed by experts are then applied to standardize the extracted information and ensure its consistency with the type of act (birth, marriage, and death). This validation step is able to reject records that are considered invalid or merged. The full workflow has been used to process over two million pages of Quebec parish registers from the 19-20th centuries. On a sample comprising 65% of registers, 3.2 million acts were recognized. Verification of the birth and death acts from this sample shows that 74% of them are considered complete and valid. These records will be integrated into the BALSAC database and linked together to recreate family and genealogical relations at large scale.

description: We study the stability of gaps opened by a giant planet in a self-gravitating protoplanetary disc. We find a linear instability associated with both the self-gravity of the disc and local vortensity maxima which coincide with gap edges. For our models, these edge modes develop and extend to twice the orbital radius of a Saturn mass planet in discs with disc-to-star mass ratio >0.06, corresponding to a Toomre Q < 1.5 at the outer disc boundary. Unlike the local vortex-forming instabilities associated with gap edges in weakly or non-self-gravitating low viscosity discs, the edge modes are global and exist only in sufficiently massive discs, but for the typical viscosity values adopted for protoplanetary discs. Analytic modelling and linear calculations show edge modes may be interpreted as a localised disturbance associated with a gap edge inducing activity in the extended disc, through the launching of density waves excited at Lindblad resonances. Nonlinear hydrodynamic simulations are performed to investigate the evolution of edge modes in disc-planet systems. The form and growth rates of unstable modes are consistent with linear theory. Their dependence on viscosity and gravitational softening is also explored. We also performed a first study of the effect of edge modes on planetary migration. We found that if edge modes develop, then the average disc-on-planet torque becomes more positive with increasing disc mass. In simulations where the planet was allowed to migrate, although a fast type III migration could be seen that was similar to that seen in non-self-gravitating discs, we found that it was possible for the planet to interact gravitationally with the spiral arms associated with an edge mode and that this could result in the planet being scattered outwards. Thus orbital migration is likely to be complex and non monotonic in massive discs of the type we consider.

description: Different methods for simulating the effects of spatial resolution on magnetic field maps are compared, including those commonly used for inter-instrument comparisons. The investigation first uses synthetic data, and the results are confirmed with {\it Hinode}/SpectroPolarimeter data. Four methods are examined, one which manipulates the Stokes spectra to simulate spatial-resolution degradation, and three "post-facto" methods where the magnetic field maps are manipulated directly. Throughout, statistical comparisons of the degraded maps with the originals serve to quantify the outcomes. Overall, we find that areas with inferred magnetic fill fractions close to unity may be insensitive to optical spatial resolution; areas of sub-unity fill fractions are very sensitive. Trends with worsening spatial resolution can include increased average field strength, lower total flux, and a field vector oriented closer to the line of sight. Further-derived quantities such as vertical current density show variations even in areas of high average magnetic fill-fraction. In short, unresolved maps fail to represent the distribution of the underlying unresolved fields, and the "post-facto" methods generally do not reproduce the effects of a smaller telescope aperture. It is argued that selecting a method in order to reconcile disparate spatial resolution effects should depend on the goal, as one method may better preserve the field distribution, while another can reproduce spatial resolution degradation. The results presented should help direct future inter-instrument comparisons.

description: Die Ständige Impfkommission am Robert Koch-Institut (STIKO) hat nach dem Infektionsschutzgesetz (IfSG) den gesetzlichen Auftrag, Empfehlungen zur Durchführung von Schutzimpfungen in Deutschland zu geben. Neben Standardimpfempfehlungen für die gesamte Bevölkerung oder für bestimmte Altersgruppen spricht sie Impfempfehlungen für Menschen mit besonderen Indikationen aus. Die STIKO empfiehlt Reiseimpfungen zum individuellen Schutz Reisender mit einem Expositionsrisiko gegenüber bestimmten impfpräventablen Erkrankungen und um den Import von Infektionserregern in das bereiste Land oder bei Rückreise nach Deutschland zu verhindern. Die im Epidemiologischen Bulletin 14/2021 veröffentlichten Empfehlungen zu Reiseimpfungen wurden von der STIKO-AG Reiseimpfungen in Zusammenarbeit mit externen ExpertInnen erarbeitet. Reiseimpfberatungen sind die optimale Gelegenheit, um den individuellen Impfstatus zu überprüfen und mögliche Impflücken auch bei den Standardimpfungen zu schließen.

description: The spin and orbital Kondo effects and the related shot noise for a laterally coupled double quantum dot are studied taking account of coherent indirect coupling via a reservoir. We calculate the linear conductance and shot noise for various charge states to distinguish between the spin and orbital Kondo effects. We find that a novel antiferromagnetic exchange coupling can be generated by the coherent indirect coupling, and it works to suppress the spin Kondo effect when each quantum dot holds just one electron. We also show that we can capture the feature of the pseudospin Kondo effect from the shot noise measurement.

description: We review some of the features of the evolutions equations for transverse momentum dependent parton distributions recently proposed by us. We briefly describe the new ingredients entering the equations and their relationship with ordinary evolution equations. We comment on possible choices for the initial conditions and then show results for the evolved distributions obtained by numerical implementation of the equations. By computing the average transverse momentum at different scale we highlight some general properties of the solutions.

description: The properties of polycrystalline materials are often dominated by the size of their grains and by the atomic structure of their grain boundaries. These effects should be especially pronounced in 2D materials, where even a line defect can divide and disrupt a crystal. These issues take on practical significance in graphene, a hexagonal two-dimensional crystal of carbon atoms; Single-atom-thick graphene sheets can now be produced by chemical vapor deposition on up to meter scales, making their polycrystallinity almost unavoidable. Theoretically, graphene grain boundaries are predicted to have distinct electronic, magnetic, chemical, and mechanical properties which strongly depend on their atomic arrangement. Yet, because of the five-order-of-magnitude size difference between grains and the atoms at grain boundaries, few experiments have fully explored the graphene grain structure. Here, we use a combination of old and new transmission electron microscope techniques to bridge these length scales. Using atomic-resolution imaging, we determine the location and identity of every atom at a grain boundary and find that different grains stitch together predominantly via pentagon-heptagon pairs. We then use diffraction-filtered imaging to rapidly map the location, orientation, and shape of several hundred grains and boundaries, where only a handful have been previously reported. The resulting images reveal an unexpectedly small and intricate patchwork of grains connected by tilt boundaries. By correlating grain imaging with scanned probe measurements, we show that these grain boundaries dramatically weaken the mechanical strength of graphene membranes, but do not measurably alter their electrical properties. These techniques open a new window for studies on the structure, properties, and control of grains and grain boundaries in graphene and other 2D materials.
