description: We study the physics potential of the 8TeV LHC (LHC-8) to discover, during its 2012 run, a large class of extended gauge models or extra dimensional models whose low energy behavior is well represented by an SU(2)^2 x U(1) gauge structure. We analyze this class of models and find that with a combined integrated luminosity of 40-60/fb at the LHC-8, the first new Kaluza-Klein mode of the W gauge boson can be discovered up to a mass of about 370-400 GeV, when produced in association with a Z boson.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit baut auf den Grundlagen der elektromagnetischen Feldtheorie eine neue Systematik zur Beschreibung der Kopplung elektromagnetischer Felder zwischen verschiedenen Umgebungen auf. Es wird der Halbraum und der quaderförmige Hohlraumresonator, ein Modell für typische Gerätegehäuse, diskutiert. Dabei wird eine analytische Lösung unter der Einschränkung elektrisch kleiner Aperturen hergeleitet und anhand numerischer Verfahren verifiziert. Anschließend wird das Verfahren für eine einfache elektrisch große Apertur verallgemeinert. Als Ausgangspunkt dient hierbei die Modellierung des eingekoppelten Stromes auf einem elektrisch dünnen, langen und geraden Draht. Die Integralgleichung für das elektrische Feld wird auf eine neuartige Weise durch ein Diskretisierungsverfahren gelöst. Eine der Besonderheiten der sich durch die Diskretisierung ergebenden Matrixgleichung gegenüber üblichen Lösungsverfahren ist die analytische und damit sehr schnelle Bestimmung aller Matrixelemente. Anschließend wird das Verfahren auf einen langen dünnen Schlitz in einem Hohlraumresonator übertragen. Weiterhin wird die Gesamtmatrix in Nah- und Fernwechselwirkungen separiert. Somit können verschiedene Abstrahlungsumgebungen vergleichsweise einfach berücksichtigt werden. Untersuchungen des Fernfeldes des Schlitzes zeigen, dass es möglich ist, den Einfluss der inneren Hohlraumresonanzen auf das äußere Feld effizient zu berechnen.
description: In this thesis a new systematic formalism of the coupling of electromagnetic fields between different radiation environments is derived from the basics of electromagnetic field theory. Here, the case of the coupling between a half space and a rectangular cavity is treated, which is a model for typical housings of electrical devices. An analytical solution is derived under the condition of electrically small apertures and then validated with numerical methods. Then the developed method is generalized for an simple electrical large aperture. It is made use of the duality of the Maxwell equations by the modeling of the generated current in an electrical large, thin, straight and finite wire in free space. The respective integral equation for the electrical field is solved in a new way by a combination of the methods of regularization and discretization. One of the unique properties of the derived matrix equation is the possibility to calculate all matrix elements analytically and therefore quite fast. Subsequently, the method is applied to the electrical large, thin, straight and finite slot in a rectangular cavity. The complete matrix is separated in a near and far interaction part. This way, different radiation conditions can be considered easily. The analysis of the far field of such a slot shows, the influence of the inner cavity resonances on the external fields can be calculated efficiently.

TAMER : touch-guided anxiety management via engagement with a robotic pet efficacy evaluation and the first steps of the interaction design
Creators: name: Sefidgar, Yasaman Sadat
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Anxiety disorders are widespread among children and adolescents, yet the existing treatments are effective for only a small proportion of the affected young population. We propose a novel idea for improving the efficacy of anxiety treatments that relies on affective touch as a therapeutic medium. Building upon the wealth of evidence for therapeutic benefits of animals, our approach utilizes an animatronic pet, the Haptic Creature, as a tool to deliver calming effects. We ground our idea in the framework of social cognitive theory as used in human-animal interaction. We first model the interaction design as a search in a broadly defined interaction space, and then introduce a novel and systematic approach to the interaction design process. We describe our iterative design of a human-Creature interaction that was measurably calming, and share the methodology and results of our two most significant evaluation cycles. Our principal results, from the second study, showed that the interaction with the Haptic Creature, while it is breathing slowly and constantly, produces calming effects as indicated by decreased heart rate and breathing rate as well as the subjective reports.

description: The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we show that a certain concatenation of a proximity operator with an affine operator is again a proximity operator on a suitable Hilbert space. Second, we use our findings to establish so-called proximal neural networks (PNNs) and stable tight frame proximal neural networks. Let H and K be real Hilbert spaces, b∈K and T∈B(H,K) a linear operator with closed range and Moore–Penrose inverse T†. Based on the well-known characterization of proximity operators by Moreau, we prove that for any proximity operator Prox:K→K the operator T†Prox(T⋅+b) is a proximity operator on H equipped with a suitable norm. In particular, it follows for the frequently applied soft shrinkage operator Prox=Sλ:ℓ2→ℓ2 and any frame analysis operator T:H→ℓ2 that the frame shrinkage operator T†SλT is a proximity operator on a suitable Hilbert space. The concatenation of proximity operators on Rd equipped with different norms establishes a PNN. If the network arises from tight frame analysis or synthesis operators, then it forms an averaged operator. In particular, it has Lipschitz constant 1 and belongs to the class of so-called Lipschitz networks, which were recently applied to defend against adversarial attacks. Moreover, due to its averaging property, PNNs can be used within so-called Plug-and-Play algorithms with convergence guarantee. In case of Parseval frames, we call the networks Parseval proximal neural networks (PPNNs). Then, the involved linear operators are in a Stiefel manifold and corresponding minimization methods can be applied for training of such networks. Finally, some proof-of-the concept examples demonstrate the performance of PPNNs.
Economic Analysis of Near-Patient Testing for C. difficile Implemented in a Large Hospital in Calgary, Canada

Publisher: name: Arts
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Education--Home Economics

description: Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is the main source for onset of antibiotic-associated diarrhea in patients and is thus an important cause of morbidity and mortality in Canadian hospitals. CDI typically results from the augmented and needless use of potent broad-spectrum antibiotics. All patients suspected of CDI are put under mandatory pre-emptive contact precautions even before patients are tested for CDI. The contact precautions involve use of fresh gown and gloves for each entry into a patient room. Most patients with a suspected diagnosis of CDI ultimately test negative. The existing centralized testing takes about 24 hours for test result confirmation. Consequently, hospitals are burdened with unnecessary cost of putting such patients under contact precautions and patients who test positive face a delay in appropriate therapy initiation. There is a rapid test available for diagnosing CDI which gives results within a few hours, but it is more expensive than the centralized testing. This thesis offers an economic analysis of rapid testing for CDI in Calgary, Alberta. Existing literature on implementation of rapid testing lack accurate cost-benefit analysis. In my thesis, I have focused only on patients who test negative. The hypothesis is that for patients with a negative diagnosis, rapid testing may enable early removal from contact precautions for patients who do not have any other diseases which requires contact precautions, saving the hospital the cost of contact precautions. The analysis in this thesis suggests that by implementing rapid testing for diagnosing CDI, Foothills Medical Center in Calgary, Canada can save approximately $20,000 annually.

description: We study the Josephson current 0-$π$ transition of a quantum dot tuned to the Kondo regime. The physics can be quantitatively captured by the numerically exact continuous time quantum Monte Carlo method applied to the single-impurity Anderson model with BCS superconducting leads. For a comparison to an experiment the tunnel couplings are determined by fitting the normal-state linear conductance. Excellent agreement for the dependence of the critical Josephson current on the level energy is achieved. For increased tunnel couplings the Kondo scale becomes comparable to the superconducting gap and the regime of the strongest competition between superconductivity and Kondo correlations is reached; we predict the gate voltage dependence of the critical current in this regime.

description: On August 24 (UT) the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) discovered PTF11kly (SN 2011fe), the youngest and most nearby type Ia supernova (SN Ia) in decades. We followed this event up in the radio (centimeter and millimeter bands) and X-ray bands, starting about a day after the estimated explosion time. We present our analysis of the radio and X-ray observations, yielding the tightest constraints yet placed on the pre-explosion mass-loss rate from the progenitor system of this supernova. We find a robust limit of dM/dt<10^-8 (w/100 km/s) [M_solar/yr] from sensitive X-ray non-detections, as well as a similar limit from radio data, which depends, however, on assumptions about microphysical parameters. We discuss our results in the context of single-degenerate models for SNe Ia and find that our observations modestly disfavor symbiotic progenitor models involving a red giant donor, but cannot constrain systems accreting from main-sequence or sub-giant stars, including the popular supersoft channel. In view of the proximity of PTF11kly and the sensitivity of our prompt observations we would have to wait for a long time (decade or longer) in order to more meaningfully probe the circumstellar matter of Ia supernovae.

description: Die Fähigkeit der Pflanzen, die Photosynthese in einer sich dynamisch verändernden Umwelt aufrechtzuerhalten, ist für ihr Wachstum von zentraler Bedeutung. Cyanobakterien, Algen, nicht-vaskuläre Pflanzen und Gymnospermen besitzen Flavodiirone (Flvs), eine Klasse von Proteinen, die in den Angiospermen fehlen; diese Proteine mildern die Photoinhibition des Photosystems I oder II in diesen Organismen. In meiner Dissertation wurden vier cyanobakterielle Flvs-Gene in A. thaliana exprimiert, um die Funktion der Photosysteme I und II zu verbessern und damit das Pflanzenwachstum unter ungünstigen Umweltbedingungen zu fördern. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Expression von Flv1-4 und eine Kombination von Flv1/Flv3, Flv2/Flv4, das Pflanzenwachstum verbessert. Anhand von Chlorophyll-Fluoreszenzmessungen konnte gezeigt werden, dass die photosynthetische Aktivität bei den transgenen Pflanzen früher einsetzt als beim Wildtyp. Die photosynthetische Leistung der transgenen Pflanzen ging mit einer erhöhten ATP-Produktion, einer Beschleunigung des Kohlenhydratstoffwechsels und schliesslich einer erhöhten Biomasse einher. Diese Hinweise unterstreichen, dass Flvs den Elektronendruck bei PS I mindern, indem sie den Photosynthese-Apparat schützen und damit das Wachstumspotential der Pflanze fördern. Somit konnte gezeigt werden, dass diese Proteine ein grosses Potential für ein besseres Pflanzenwachstum darstellen.
description: The ability of plants to maintain photosynthesis in a dynamically changing environment is of central importance for their growth. Cyanobacteria, algae, non-vascular plants and gymnosperms possess flavodiirons (Flvs), a class of proteins absent in the angiosperms; these proteins mitigate the photoinhibition of photosystem I or II in these organisms. In my thesis, four cyanobacterial Flvs genes were expressed in A. thaliana to improve the function of the photosystems I and II and thus to enhance plant growth in adverse conditions. The expression of Flv1-4 and a combination of Flv1/Flv3, Flv2/Flv4 was shown to improve plant growth. Using chlorophyll fluorescence measurements, it was shown that photosynthetic activity was initiated earlier in the transgenic plants than in the wild type. The photosynthetic performance of the transgenic plants was accompanied by an increased production of ATP, an acceleration of carbohydrate metabolism and finally the biomass. These indications emphasize that Flvs relieve electron pressure at PS I, act to both protect photosynthesis and together their presence is beneficial for the plant’s growth potential.

description: Aim: This study aimed to investigate the in vitro antitumor activity of new series of 2-thiohydanotin derivatives (7 and 9) against two cancer cell lines. Materials & methods: A new series of 2-thioxoimidazolidine derivatives (3–9) were synthesized and investigated for its structure through spectral analysis and also tested against (HepG-2) and (HCT-116) cell line. Results: Among the synthesized compounds, compound 7 halted liver cancer cells at the G0/G1 phase and triggered apoptosis of liver cancer. Contrarily, compound 9 caused colon cancer cells to be arrested at the S phase and trigger apoptosis. Also, they had a good inhibitory effect on (Nrf2). Conclusion: Both compounds had attractive lead molecules for the creation of colon and liver cancer medications. A series of 3-substituted-4-oxo-imidazolidin-2-(1H)-Thione derivatives (3–9) were synthesized and assessed for their anticancer effect on HepG-2 and HCT-116. The chemical composition of the produced chemicals was verified using methods of elemental analysis and spectroscopy, such as 1H, 13C NMR, MS and IR. Cytotoxicity screening found both compounds (7 and 9) had a good antiproliferation activity against HepG-2 and HCT-116 cancer cell lines. The outcomes of the cell cycle analysis showed that the most active compound 9 arrests colon cancer cells at the S phase, induces the apoptosis of colon cancer cells, and exhibits a good inhibitory effect against Nrf2. Compound 7 arrests liver cancer cells at the G0/G1 phase, induces apoptosis in liver cancer, and exhibits a great inhibitory effect against Nrf2. According to these findings, the newly discovered 2-thioxoimidazolin-4-one family offers a good framework for discovering more potential anticancer drugs.

description: We have investigated, using effective mass approach (EMA), magnetic properties of a one-dimensional electron gas in graphene armchair ribbons when the electrons of occupy only the lowest conduction subband. We find that magnetic properties of the one-dimensional electron gas may depend sensitively on the width of the ribbon. For ribbon widths $L_x=3Ma_0$, a critical point separates ferromagnetic and paramagnetic states while for $L_x=(3M+1)a_0$ paramagnetic state is stable ($M$ is an integer and $a_{0}$ is the length of the unit cell). These width-dependent properties are a consequence of eigenstates that have a subtle width-dependent mixture of $\mathbf{K}$ and $\mathbf{K'}$ states, and can be understood by examining the wavefunction overlap that appears in the expression for the many-body exchange self-energy. Ferromagnetic and paramagnetic states may be used for spintronic purposes.

description: Let $G$ be a nonabelian finite group and let $d$ be an irreducible character degree of $G$. Then there is a positive integer $e$ so that $|G| = d(d+e)$. Snyder has shown that if $e > 1$, then $|G|$ is bounded by a function of $e$. This bound has been improved by Isaacs and by Durfee and Jensen. In this paper, we will show for groups that have a nontrivial, abelian normal subgroup that $|G| \le e^4 - e^3$. We use this to prove that $|G| < e^4 + e^3$ for all groups. Given that there are a number of solvable groups that meet the first bound, it is best possible. Our work makes use of results regarding Camina pairs, Gagola characters, and Suzuki 2-groups.

How spatial is spatial language? Investigating the relationship between spatial cognition and abstract language processing

Publisher: name: Arts
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Psychology--Cognitive

description: The present study aimed to explore the relationship between spatially grounded language and spatial cognition. According to embodied cognition, sensitivity to spatial grounding should be related to experience with spatial cognition. Participants completed three language tasks assessing their sensitivity to spatial grounding and three spatial tasks assessing different facets of spatial cognition. These language tasks were derived from previous studies that showed spatial grounding effects. Only of these effects was replicated; the presence of a mental number line. From each of the language tasks, a spatial grounding sensitivity score was calculated based on the difference in reaction times between incongruent and congruent trials. These sensitivity scores were then correlated to performance on the spatial tasks. The results showed almost no significant correlations between the language tasks and spatial tasks, even when looking at those individuals who were most highly sensitive to spatial grounding. Overall the results of this study do not support an embodied view of cognition.

description: Aim: This study explores the cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of novel thiazolidinone-1,2,3-triazole hybrids on HT-1080, A-549, and MDA-MB-231 cancer cell lines. Methods & results: The synthesized compounds underwent comprehensive characterization (NMR and HRMS) to confirm their structures and purity. Subsequent anticancer activity screening across diverse cancer cell lines revealed promising antitumor potential notably, compounds 6f and 6g. Mechanistic investigations unveiled that compound 6f triggers apoptosis through the caspase-3/7 pathway. In terms of in silico studies, the compound 6f was identified as a potent inhibitor of caspase-3 and caspase-7. Conclusion: The present study underscores the therapeutic potential of thiazolidinone-1,2,3-triazole hybrids against certain cancer cells. These findings highlight a promising avenue for the development of cancer treatment strategies utilizing these (R)-Carvone-based derivatives. Novel 1,2,3-triazole-thiazolidinone hybrids were synthesized and characterized. synthesized compounds were assessed for their cytotoxic activity. Compounds 6f–g exhibited the most potent cytotoxicity. Compound 6f triggers apoptosis through the caspase 3/7 pathway. Compound 6f exhibited superior binding affinity, selectivity and a well-defined binding mechanism toward caspase-3 and caspase-7.

description: Leon Trotsky's communist leadership was partially responsible for bringing about the October Revolution of 1917, after which Russia exited the First World War. Starting as an activist, he became People’s Commissar for Foreign Affairs and People’s Commissar for War in the first Soviet government. Trotsky's commitment to international revolution clashed with Joseph Stalin’s theory of socialism for his country. He used his journalistic experiences on the front to inform his eventual leadership of the Red Army.

description: The ability to search through histories and tools is central to Galaxy's functionality. Recent developments have made searching in Galaxy more efficient and user-friendly. In this talk, we will highlight the latest features that have been introduced into Galaxy and how they have enhanced the search functionality of the platform.
 A new feature introduced in the 22.05 release is an advanced search menu in the history panel. It allows users to filter items in user histories through various filters, and allows users to quickly and easily locate specific items. One new and particularly powerful filter is the related-items filter that can identify relationships between items in history. This related-items filter can come in handy for users looking for datasets created during a workflow invocation or if a user wishes to create a new history for all datasets related to a particular dataset, among other uses. In our talk, we will demonstrate this feature and help users gain a deeper understanding of the enhanced data navigation capabilities now available, giving them greater awareness and control over their Galaxy histories.
 Another advanced search functionality introduced in Galaxy has been the tool search in the Galaxy tool panel, which has improved the ability to search for tools, compared to prior releases. This has been achieved through the usage of an instant, client-based search in the tool panel, along with the availability of an advanced menu which provides more detailed results in the center panel. This feature makes it easier for users to discover new tools and to find the tools they need to perform their analyses. Showcasing this feature would help the Galaxy community learn ways they can filter tools needed for certain workflows and data types.
 Overall, these new search features are designed to make the Galaxy platform more accessible and user-friendly. They represent a major step forward in helping users quickly and easily find the data and tools they need to conduct their research. We believe that these improvements will have a significant impact on the Galaxy community, and we look forward to sharing them, as well as asking for the community’s input on how search-ability can be further improved in the platform.

description: Capillary waves excited by the vertical oscillations of a thin elongated plate below an air-water interface are analyzed using time-resolved measurements of the surface topography. A parametric instability is observed above a well defined acceleration threshold, resulting in a so-called cross-wave, a staggered wave pattern localized near the wavemaker and oscillating at half the forcing frequency. This cross-wave, which is stationary along the wavemaker but propagative away from it, is described as the superposition of two almost anti-parallel propagating parametric waves making a small angle of the order of $20^\mathrm{o}$ with the wavemaker edge. This contrasts with the classical Faraday parametric waves, which are exactly stationnary because of the homogeneity of the forcing. Our observations suggest that the selection of the cross-wave angle results from a resonant mechanism between the two parametric waves and a characteristic length of the surface deformation above the wavemaker.

Two Pseudobulges in the "Boxy Bulge" Galaxy NGC 5746

description: Galaxy formation and growth under the ΛCDM paradigm is expected to proceed in a hierarchical, bottom-up fashion by which small galaxies grow into large galaxies; this mechanism leaves behind large "classical bulges" kinematically distinct from "pseudobulges" grown by internal, secular processes. We use archival data (Spitzer 3.6 \mum wavelength, Hubble Space Telescope H-band, Two Micron All Sky Survey Ks-band, and Sloan Digital Sky Survey gri-band) to measure composite minor- and major-axis surface brightness profiles of the almost-edgeon spiral galaxy NGC 5746. These light profiles span a large range of radii and surface brightnesses to reveal an inner, high surface brightness stellar component that is distinct from the well-known boxy bulge. It is well fitted by Sérsic functions with indices n = 0.99 \pm 0.08 and 1.17 \pm 0.24 along the minor and major axes, respectively. Since n < 2, we conclude that this innermost component is a secularly-evolved pseudobulge that is distinct from the boxy pseudobulge. This inner pseduobulge makes up 0.136 \pm 0.019 of the total light of the galaxy. It is therefore considerably less luminous than the boxy structure, which is now understood to be a bar seen nearly end-on. The infrared imagery shows further evidence for secular evolution in the form of a bright inner ring of inner radius 9.1 kpc and width 1.6 kpc. NGC 5746 is therefore a giant, pure-disk SB(r)bc galaxy with no sign of a merger-built bulge. We do not understand how such galaxies form in a ΛCDM universe.

Growing point-to-set length scale correlates with growing relaxation times in model supercooled liquids

description: It has been demonstrated recently that supercooled liquids sharing simple structural features (e.g. pair distribution functions) may exhibit strikingly distinct dynamical behavior. Here we show that a more subtle structural feature correlates with relaxation times in three simulated systems that have nearly identical radial distribution functions but starkly different dynamical behavior. In particular, for the first time we determine the thermodynamic "point-to-set" length scale in several canonical model systems and demonstrate the quantitative connection between this length scale and the growth of relaxation times. Our results provide clues necessary for distinguishing competing theories of the glass transition.

Computing Reliability for Coreference Annotation

description: Co-reference annotation is annotation of language corpora to indicate which expressions have been used to co-specify the same discourse entity. When annotations of the same data are collected from two or more coders, the reliability of the data may need to be quantified. Two obstacles have stood in the way of applying reliability metrics: incommensurate units across annotations, and lack of a convenient representation of the coding values. Given N coders and M coding units, reliability is computed from an N-by-M matrix that records the value assigned to unit Mj by coder Nk. The solution I present accommodates a wide range of coding choices for the annotator, while preserving the same units across codings. As a consequence, it permits a straightforward application of reliability measurement. In addition, in coreference annotation, disagreements can be complete or partial. The representation I propose has the advantage of incorporating a distance metric that can scale disagreements accordingly. It also allows the investigator to experiment with alternative distance metrics. Finally, the coreference representation proposed here can be useful for other tasks, such as multivariate distributional analysis. The same reliability methodology has already been applied to another coding task, namely semantic annotation of summaries.

description: Aims: Five series of novel koumine-like compounds were designed, semi-synthesized and systematically evaluated for antitumor activities. Methods: All compounds were evaluated for antiproliferative activity against four human cancer cell lines, including HT-29, HCT-116, HCT-15 and Caco-2. Results: Most compounds exhibited much higher antiproliferation activities (IC50 <10 μM) than koumine. Two selected compounds A4 and C5 showed comparable antitumor effects to 5-FU in vivo, as well as better safety profiles. Further studies suggested that A4 and C5 could arrest HT-29 cell cycle in G2 phase and raise reactive oxygen species level, thus inducing cell apoptosis related to Erk MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways inhibition. Conclusion: These results will greatly promote the druggability study of these koumine-like compounds. A diverse library containing 41 koumine-like compounds (A–E series) was designed and semi-synthesized based on the koumine skeleton. Compounds A–E were evaluated for their antiproliferative activity against four colon cancer cell lines (HT-29, HCT-116, HCT-15 and Caco-2) and one normal colon cell line (NCM-460), and the results showed that most of the compounds with nucleophilic addition of N1=C2 double bond exhibited much higher antiproliferation activities (IC50 <10 μM) than koumine (IC50 >200 μM). The representative compounds A4 and C5 can arrest HT-29 cell cycle in G2 phase. Compounds A4 and C5 can induced apoptosis and raise reactive oxygen species levels of HT-29 cells more effectively than koumine. Western blotting assays indicated that compounds A4 and C5 inhibited the Erk MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways in HT-29 cells. The in vivo antitumor experiments showed that A4 and C5 significantly suppressed HT-29 tumor growth with comparable efficacy to the positive control 5-FU, but with higher safety than 5-FU. These results represented great progress in the development of antitumor drugs based on koumine.
