Thick brane solutions and topology change transition on black hole backgrounds

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider static, axisymmetric, thick brane solutions on higher dimensional, spherically symmetric black hole backgrounds. It was found recently [1], that in cases when the thick brane has more than 2 spacelike dimensions, perturbative approaches break down around the corresponding thin solutions for Minkowski type topologies. This behavior is a consequence of the fact that thin solutions are not smooth at the axis, and for a general discussion of possible phase transitions in the system, one needs to use a non-perturbative approach. In the present paper we provide an exact, numerical solution of the problem both for black hole- and Minkowski type topologies with arbitrary number of brane and bulk dimensions. We also illustrate a topology change transition in the system for a 5-dimensional brane embedded in a 6-dimensional bulk.

Anisotropic finite-size scaling of an elastic string at the depinning threshold in a random-periodic medium

Subjects: subject: Disordered Systems and Neural Networks (cond-mat.dis-nn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We numerically study the geometry of a driven elastic string at its sample-dependent depinning threshold in random-periodic media. We find that the anisotropic finite-size scaling of the average square width $\bar{w^2}$ and of its associated probability distribution are both controlled by the ratio $k=M/L^{ζ_{\mathrm{dep}}}$, where $ζ_{\mathrm{dep}}$ is the random-manifold depinning roughness exponent, $L$ is the longitudinal size of the string and $M$ the transverse periodicity of the random medium. The rescaled average square width $\bar{w^2}/L^{2ζ_{\mathrm{dep}}}$ displays a non-trivial single minimum for a finite value of $k$. We show that the initial decrease for small $k$ reflects the crossover at $k \sim 1$ from the random-periodic to the random-manifold roughness. The increase for very large $k$ implies that the increasingly rare critical configurations, accompanying the crossover to Gumbel critical-force statistics, display anomalous roughness properties: a transverse-periodicity scaling in spite that $\bar{w^2} \ll M$, and subleading corrections to the standard random-manifold longitudinal-size scaling. Our results are relevant to understanding the dimensional crossover from interface to particle depinning.

description: The INSITE Data Initiative aimed to identify data that has been collected by energy companies which could be valuable to research into the influence of man-made structures on the North Sea ecosystem. We developed a questionnaire to gather data from major oil and gas companies in the UK to establish what video archives they have of their subsea infrastructure with a focus on offshore platforms (jackets) and pipelines. The operators were asked to assess whether their footage was of a high enough resolution to identify species growing on their assets and to be used as part of an ecological assessment of the role these structures now play in the North Sea ecosystem. This questionnaire was designed to identify what marine growth surveys have been conducted, who carried out the surveys, the number of assets surveyed and the intervals at which they are surveyed. It also asks for contact information for the key people involved in archiving the files and who would be responsible for obtaining permission to access the data. The questionnaire was circulated on the 9th of June 2016 to ExxonMobil, Total, Shell, Talisman-Sinopec (now Repsol), Centrica, CNRL, Marathon Oil and BP. All 8 operators responded. Their completed questionnaires are hosted here. This project was conducted at Heriot-Watt University (March 2016 - October 2016) then transferred to the University of Edinburgh (October 2016 - March 2017).

Immune responses associated with combined exposure to allergen and diesel exhaust in human atopic submucosa
Creators: name: Hosseini, Ali
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Asthma is a chronic condition described by inflammation of the airways. There are no specific treatments for asthma yet but understanding the potential triggers of an asthma attack can effectively control this disease and make it more manageable for many sufferers. Therefore, there is intense interest in studying the negative impacts of air pollutants on respiratory diseases. Diesel exhaust (DE) is a primary source of emissions from motor vehicles and is also a significant cause of increased airway responsiveness in asthma. The main particulate fraction of diesel exhaust consists of fine particles (PM₂․₅), which are inhaled efficiently into the lung. Inhalation of these particles can exacerbate asthma and trigger other harmful processes in the lung. The effect of traffic-related air pollution, such as DE on asthma exacerbations is well-established but the biological mechanism underlying this association is still not well understood. DE is thought to interact with allergen exposures to mediate adverse effects, but most of the studies done in this area are based on animal models and there remains poor appreciation of the mechanisms of allergen-DE synergy in human models. In this research project, we aim to elucidate if DE increases bronchial allergen-induced inflammation and cellular immune response in mild atopic asthmatic human subjects. Volunteer participants were exposed to DE (300 μg.m-³ of PM₂․₅) or filtered air for two hours in a blinded crossover study design with a four-week washout period. One hour following either filtered air or DE exposure, subjects were exposed to allergen or saline via bronchoscopic segmental challenge. Forty-eight hours post-exposure, endobronchial biopsies were collected. Tissue sections were immunostained for tryptase, eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), neutrophil elastase (NE), CD138, CD4 and interleukin (IL)-4. The percent positivity of positive cells were quantified in the bronchial submucosa by Aperio ImageScope Software. We have shown that in vivo allergen and DE co-exposure results in elevated CD4, IL-4, CD138 and NE in the respiratory submucosa of atopic subjects, while eosinophils and mast cells are not changed. Here we demonstrated, for the first time, the effect of DE exposure in promoting allergen-induced inflammatory responses directly within the lungs of atopic human.

description: In contrast to classical physics, the language of quantum mechanics involves operators and wave functions (or, more generally, density operators). However, in 1932, Wigner formulated quantum mechanics in terms of a distribution function $W(q,p)$, the marginals of which yield the correct quantum probabilities for $q$ and $p$ separately \cite{wigner}. Its usefulness stems from the fact that it provides a re-expression of quantum mechanics in terms of classical concepts so that quantum mechanical expectation values are now expressed as averages over phase-space distribution functions. In other words, statistical information is transferred from the density operator to a quasi-classical (distribution) function.

Roles of Mediator subunit CDK-8 in developmental and physiological responses in Caenorhabditis elegans
Creators: name: Grants, Jennifer M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: The Mediator complex is a conserved coregulator of RNA polymerase II transcription. Whereas some Mediator subunits are universally essential for transcription, others regulate specialized gene programs by interacting with sequence-specific transcription factors (TFs). Mediator’s Cyclin dependent kinase 8 (CDK8) kinase module (CKM) consists of four subunits (CDK8, Cyclin C, MED12, MED13) and regulates transcription downstream of multiple cell signaling pathways. In addition, the CKM regulates other Mediator subunits, as CDK8-mediated phosphorylation promotes Mediator subunit turnover, at least in yeast. CKM subunits have been identified as human oncogenes or tumor suppressors, indicating that the CKM can modulate transcription in tumorigenesis. However, the roles of the CKM in animal development and physiology are less well understood, as its target TFs often remain undefined. Furthermore, whether the CKM regulates the activity of other Mediator subunits in metazoans remains unknown. In this dissertation, I investigated CKM interactions with TFs and other Mediator subunits in Caenorhabditis elegans development and physiology. Gene expression profiling of C. elegans cdk-8 mutants implicated CDK-8 in regulation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-Ras-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-driven transcription and cadmium-responsive transcription. I showed that the CKM inhibits ectopic vulval cell fates downstream of the EGFR-Ras-ERK pathway, dependent on CDK-8 kinase activity. Mechanistically, the CKM inhibits EGFR-Ras-ERK pathway output by promoting transcriptional repression by the LIN-1/Elk1 TF, and by inhibiting transcriptional activation by the Mediator subunit MDT-15. Furthermore, cdk-8 is required for post-transcriptional regulation of MDT-15. Therefore, the CKM restrains EGFR-Ras-ERK signaling in C. elegans development by regulating TF and Mediator activity. I also studied cdk-8 in the cadmium response. I showed that cdk-8 is required for cadmium-inducible transcription and organismal cadmium resistance. Dissecting a modular cadmium-responsive promoter, cdr-1, I showed that cdk-8 may cooperate with other factors known to regulate cadmium-responsive transcription: mdt-15, GATA-family TF elt-2 and GATA elements, and a high zinc-activated (HZA) element. I speculate that CDK-8 promotes cadmium-inducible transcription by activating MDT-15, ELT-2, or an HZA-binding TF. In sum, cdk-8 cooperates with distinct TFs, and can oppose or cooperate with the Mediator subunit mdt-15, to regulate EGFR-Ras-ERK-inducible vs. cadmium-inducible transcription.

description: Zusammenfassung

Vergleichsweise hohe PGE-Emissionen aus Autokatalysatoren sind
in den letzten Jahren entlang von Autobahnen und in Städten
nachgewiesen worden, über deren Toxizität bislang nur wenig
bekannt ist. Ziel der Untersuchungen im Rahmen dieses Projektes
ist die Abklärung genotoxischen Potentials von Platin-,
Palladium- und Rhodiumverbindungen in A549 menschlichen
Lungenzellen. Es konnte eine Methode zum quantitativen Nachweis
von Pt- und Pd-induzierten DNA-Addukten mit Hilfe der
hochauflösenden Massenspektrometrie mit induktiv gekoppelter
Plasma-Ionisierung (HR-ICP-MS) entwickelt werden und erste
Experimente zeigten eine dosisabhängige Pt- bzw. Pd-Bindung an
DNA. Darüber hinaus ist die Adduktbildung zeitabhängig, was
einen Artefakt  etwa durch Verschleppung der Metallpartikel
während der Aufarbeitung  ausschließt.

Summary

During the last years, comparatively high concentrations of
platinum group elements derived from automobile catalysts have
been detected along high-traffic streets and in cities.
Nevertheless, only little is known about their toxic potentials.
Aim of this project is to investigate potential genotoxic
effects of platinum, palladium and rhodium compounds in
mammalian cells in culture. A procedure was developed to
quantitate platinum- and palladium-induced DNA adducts by
HR-ICP-MS. First experiments demonstrated a dose-dependent
induction of DNA adducts after exposure of A549 human lung cells
towards platinum and palladium particles. The formation of
PGE-induced DNA adducts was also time-dependent, thus excluding
that DNA binding was simply due to metal-particles carried
through the DNA isolation procedure.

description: Phase transitions of the mixed spin-1/2 and spin-1 Ising-Heisenberg model on several decorated planar lattices consisting of interconnected diamonds are investigated within the framework of the generalized decoration-iteration transformation. The main attention is paid to the systematic study of the finite-temperature phase diagrams in dependence on the lattice topology. The critical behaviour of the hybrid quantum-classical Ising-Heisenberg model is compared with the relevant behaviour of its semi-classical Ising analogue. It is shown that both models on diamond-like decorated planar lattices exhibit a striking critical behaviour including reentrant phase transitions. The higher the lattice coordination number is, the more pronounced reentrance may be detected.

description: Nanocomposite membranes based on thermosensitive, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-based nanogels and magnetite nanoparticles have been designed to achieve "on-demand" drug delivery upon the application of an oscillating magnetic field. On-off release of sodium fluorescein over multiple magnetic cycles has been successfully demonstrated using prototype membrane-based devices. The total drug dose delivered was directly proportional to the duration of the "on" pulse. The membranes were non-cytotoxic, biocompatible, and retained their switchable flux properties after 45 days of subcutaneous implantation.

description: Explicit expressions of the vertex constant for the decay of a nucleus into two charged particles for an arbitrary orbital momentum $l$ are derived for the standard expansion of the effective-range function $K_l(k^2)$, as well as when the function $K_0(k^2)$ has a pole. As physical examples, we consider the bound state of the nucleus ${}^3\rm{He}$ and the resonant states of the nuclei ${^2}$He and ${^3}$He in the s-wave, and those of ${}^5\rm{He}$ and ${}^5\rm{Li}$ in the p-wave. For the systems $Np$ and $Nd$ the pole trajectories are constructed in the complex planes of the momentum and of the renormalized vertex constant. They correspond to a transition from the resonance state to the virtual state while the Coulomb forces gradually decrease to zero.

description: Doppler-free saturated absorption spectroscopy is performed on an enriched radioactive Ar-39 sample. The spectrum of the 3s^2 3p^5 4s [3/2]_2 - 3s^2 3p^5 4p [5/2]_3 cycling transition at 811.8 nm is recorded, and its isotope shift between Ar-39 and Ar-40 is derived. The hyperfine coupling constants A and B for both the 4s [3/2]_2 and 4p [5/2]_3 energy levels in Ar-39 are also determined. The results partially disagree with a recently published measurement of the same transition. Based on earlier measurements as well as the current work, the isotope shift and hyperfine structure of the corresponding transition in Ar-37 are also calculated. These spectroscopic data are essential for the realization of laser trapping and cooling of Ar-37 and Ar-39.

The RGO sheets were assembled between source and drain electrodes via dielectrophoresis. At low bias voltage the conduction is Ohmic while at high bias voltage and low temperatures the conduction becomes space charge limited with an exponential distribution of traps. We estimate an average trap density of 1.75x10^16 cm^-3. Quantitative information about charge traps will help develop optimization strategies of passivating defects in order to fabricate high quality solution processed graphene devices.

Viable cells were captured in region ‘Viable’. Viable CD14+ monocytes were identified (Region ‘CD14+ Monocytes’) using a CD14 APC vs SS Log density plot. Monocyte sub-populations were identified using a CD16 FITC vs CD14 PE density plot gated on viable, CD14+ monocytes. Four monocyte sub-populations were identified: CD14+/CD16-; CD14++/CD16-; CD14+/CD16+; and CD14++/CD16+. The percentage CCR2+ monocytes present in each of the respective monocyte sub-populations were identified using CD195 (CCR2) PE vs SS Log two-parameter plots gated on the respective sub-populations. The overlay plots within the black bordered square indicates the strategy used to determine CCR2 expression of the different monocyte subsets. The negative/positive staining boundaries were determined based on the negative expression of CCR2 by CD16++/CD14- neutrophils (indicated in red in the overlay plots).

description: Distributed Video Coding (DVC) is a new coding paradigm for video compression, based on Slepian- Wolf (lossless coding) and Wyner-Ziv (lossy coding) information theoretic results. DVC is useful for emerging applications such as wireless video cameras, wireless low-power surveillance networks and disposable video cameras for medical applications etc. The primary objective of DVC is low-complexity video encoding, where bulk of computation is shifted to the decoder, as opposed to low-complexity decoder in conventional video compression standards such as H.264 and MPEG etc. There are couple of early architectures and implementations of DVC from Stanford University[2][3] in 2002, Berkeley University PRISM (Power-efficient, Robust, hIgh-compression, Syndrome-based Multimedia coding)[4][5] in 2002 and European project DISCOVER (DIStributed COding for Video SERvices)[6] in 2007. Primarily there are two types of DVC techniques namely pixel domain and transform domain based. Transform domain design will have better rate-distortion (RD) performance as it exploits spatial correlation between neighbouring samples and compacts the block energy into as few transform coefficients as possible (aka energy compaction). In this paper, architecture, implementation details and "C" model results of our transform domain DVC are presented.

description: Fundamental solitons pinned to the interface between three semi-infinite one-dimensional nonlinear dynamical chains, coupled at a single site, are investigated. The light propagation in the respective system with the self-attractive on-site cubic nonlinearity, which can be implemented as an array of nonlinear optical waveguides, is modeled by the system of three discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equations. The formation, stability and dynamics of symmetric and asymmetric fundamental solitons centered at the interface are investigated analytically by means of the variational approximation (VA) and in a numerical form. The VA predicts that two asymmetric and two antisymmetric branches exist in the entire parameter space, while four asymmetric modes and the symmetric one can be found below some critical value of the inter-lattice coupling parameter -- actually, past the symmetry-breaking bifurcation. At this bifurcation point, the symmetric branch is destabilized and two new asymmetric soliton branches appear, one stable and the other unstable. In this area, the antisymmetric branch changes its character, getting stabilized against oscillatory perturbations. In direct simulations, unstable symmetric modes radiate a part of their power, staying trapped around the interface. Highly unstable asymmetric modes transform into localized breathers traveling from the interface region across the lattice without significant power loss.

description: Throughout the United States, hundreds of thousands of sexual assault kits (SAKs) have not been submitted by the police for forensic DNA testing, which raises complex issues regarding how victims ought to be notified about what happened to their kits. In this project, we evaluated a victim-centered, trauma-informed victim notification protocol that was implemented in Detroit, Michigan. Most victims (84%) did not have a strong negative emotional reaction to notification, and most (57%) decided to reengage with the criminal justice system. Victims of nonstranger sexual assaults were less likely to reengage postnotification compared with victims of stranger rape.
Ultra low profile VHF antennas for M2M communications via satellite
Creators: name: He, Yin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Government transport regulations and practical considerations limit the height of terminal antennas used in satellite-based mobile asset tracking applications to less than 2.5 cm. For Orbcomm systems that operate at 138 MHz (downlink) and 150 MHz (uplink), this implies an antenna that is just over one-hundredth of a wavelength tall. Achieving good efficiency and operating bandwidth with such an ultra low profile antenna is fundamentally difficult. Here we consider the possibility of using a multi-arm normal mode cylindrical helix antenna to achieve a significant fraction of the performance of a full size Orbcomm reference antenna in a more compact form. In order to simplify impedance matching, we introduced an internal magnetic coupling loop that can be increased or decreased in radius in order to achieve a good match. In order to identify the optimum design, we assessed the radiation efficiency and bandwidth of the antenna as a function of the key design parameters (helix height, radius, number of arms, number of turns, feed loop radius, presence or absence of crossbars that connect the arms at the top of the helix) using simulations and validated the results by measuring the performance of selected hardware prototypes. Further, we developed an equivalent circuit model that allows one to extract key design information much more quickly than would be possible by simulation or measurement. Our design curves show that bandwidth can only be increased with height and is independent of radius at ULP height. We found that efficiency increased significantly with helix radius but the presence of crossbars yielded only a marginal increase in efficiency. A pair of ULP antennas is required for uplink and downlink. To connect two such antennas to a standard Orbcomm modem with a single antenna port, we considered three duplexer designs: a carrier operated relay, a diplexer filter, and a novel complementary feed. The latter is both simpler and more effective than the first two. Over a 72-hour period, our best ULP antenna design (four arms, no cross bar, helix radius ~0.04 wavelengths) was able to exchange 45% of the messages that a standard Orbcomm reference antenna could.

description: High-pressure electrical resistivity, r(T), measurements on intermetallic Pr(Co, Ni, Pt)2B2C compounds were performed down to 2K. At room pressure the r(T) in a-b direction curves for the non superconducting Pr(Co, Ni)2B2C compounds exhibit magnetic correlations at about 10 and 4 K, respectively. At low temperatures, PrCo2B2C shows a large spin-dependent electron scattering in comparison to PrNi2B2C. Under applied pressure the magnetic scattering tends to be suppressed more effectively in PrCo2B2C than in PrNi2 B2C. The low temperature behavior of r(T,P) for PrNi2B2C and PrCo2B2C suggests a spin fluctuations mechanism. In the other hand PrPt2B2C compound shows superconductivity at about 6 K and under pressure its superconducting transition temperature tends to be degraded at a rate dTc/dP = -0.34 K/GPa, as expected in compounds with transition metals. The experimental results in Co, Ni and Pt based compounds are analyzed from the point of view of the external and chemical internal pressure effects.

description: Additional file 3: Supplementary Figure S3. Maternal intake of estimated average requirements for macronutrients, vitamins and minerals for mothers who report on household food security circumstances. Maternal reports of food insecurity did not associate with intake levels of macronutrients or minerals. Maternal reports of experiencing food runout or inability to afford balanced meals associated with lower intake of vitamin B12 (p=0.01; p=0.04). Many women, irrespective of food security reports, are at risk of inadequate macronutrient, vitamin and mineral intakes. Percent intake of EARs for 36 nutrients were calculated for lactating women 14-18, 19-30 or 31-50 years of age [37]. Calculations for EAR for total protein considered maternal weight at time of dietary recall. Data are % intake of EAR reported in maternal dietary recall for macronutrients, *p<0.05 [ANOVA for normal distribution/equal variance; Kruskal-Wallis/Wilcoxon test for nonparametric data; or Welch’s test for normal data/unequal variance]).

description: Two 5 square degree regions around the NGC 7332/9 galaxy pair and the isolated galaxy NGC 1156 have been mapped in the 21-cm line of neutral hydrogen (HI) with the Arecibo L-band Feed Array out to a redshift of ~0.065$ (~20,000$ km/s) as part of the Arecibo Galaxy Environment Survey. One of the aims of this survey is to investigate the environment of galaxies by identifying dwarf companions and interaction remnants; both of these areas provide the potential for such discoveries. The neutral hydrogen observations were complemented by optical and radio follow-up observations with a number of telescopes. A total of 87 galaxies were found, of which 39 (45 per cent) were previously cataloged and 15 (17 per cent) have prior redshifts. Two dwarf galaxies have been discovered in the NGC 7332 group and a single dwarf galaxy in the vicinity NGC 1156 . A parallel optical search of the area revealed one further possible dwarf galaxy near NGC 7332.

description: To circumvent the high solubility and low surface area of heteropolyacid and in attempt to develop a bi-functional heterogeneous catalyst for promoting organic transformations, heteropolyacid was embedded in functionalized SBA-15 and subsequently hybridized with layered double hydroxide. The catalyst could be considered as a bi-functional catalyst with both acidic and basic properties. The acidic properties emerged from the SBA-15 and heteropolyacid component while layered double hydroxide render the catalyst basic. The catalyst was characterized by using SEM/EDX, FT-IR, XRD, ICP-AES, BET and elemental mapping analysis. The catalytic activity of the catalyst was studied for promoting one-pot three-component condensation of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile or ethyl cyanoacetate and C-H activated acidic molecules in aqueous media for the synthesis of 2-amino-4H-pyran derivatives. The catalyst exhibited high catalytic activity, which was superior to the previously reported ones. Moreover, the reusability of the catalyst was excellent and the leaching of heteropolyacid was dramatically suppressed. High yields, short reaction times, eco-friendly conditions, simplicity of the procedure, reusability of the catalyst and broad substrate scope are the merits of this protocol.
Development and characterization of activated biochar as electrode material for capacitive deionization
Creators: name: Dehkhoda, Amir Mehdi

description: Biochar, a by-product of biomass pyrolysis, was investigated as a carbon-based electrode material for a water treatment method based on electrostatic adsorption/desorption of ions in electric double layers (EDLs) formed on the charged electrodes (capacitive deionization, CDI). Surface area, porous structure, and functional groups of biochar were developed, and corresponding effects on EDL capacitive performance were studied. A novel method was explored to tailor the micro- and meso-porous structures of activated biochar by exploiting the interaction between pre-carbonization drying conditions and carbonization temperature (475–1000 C) in a thermo-chemical process (KOH chemical activation). The mechanism of porosity development was investigated; results suggest that the conversion of KOH to K₂CO₃ under different drying conditions has a major role in tailoring the structure. The resultant surface area, micro- and meso-pore volumes were: 488–2670 m² g-¹, 0.04–0.72 cm³ g-¹, and 0.05–1.70 cm³ g-¹, respectively. Tailored biochar samples were investigated using physico-chemical surface characterization and electrochemical methods. For electrochemical testing, activated biochar was sprayed onto Ni mesh current collectors using Nafion® as binder. The majorly microporous activated biochar showed promising capacitances between 220 and 245 F g-¹ when 0.1 mol L-¹ NaCl/NaOH was used as the electrolyte. Addition of mesoporous structure resulted in significantly reduced electrode resistance (up to 80%) and improved capacitive behaviour due to enhanced ion transport within the pores. CDI of NaCl and ZnCl₂ solutions was investigated in a batch-mode unit through the use of tailored biochar electrodes. For NaCl removal, all samples showed promising capacity (up to 5.13 mg NaCl g-¹) and durability through four consecutive cycles. In contrast, in the case of ZnCl₂, the microporous sample showed a considerable drop in removal capacity (>75%) from cycle 1 to 4, whereas the combined micro- and mesoporous sample exhibited relatively small electrosorption capacity. Interestingly, the sample with mostly mesoporous structure has shown the highest removal capacity (1.15 mg ZnCl₂ g-¹) and durability for Zn²⁺ removal. These results emphasize the importance of tailoring the porous structure of biochar as a function of the specific size of adsorbate ions to improve the CDI performance.

description: Additional file 5: Supplementary Figure S5. Food insecurity may associate with low attainment of GMCD milestones for HUU and HEU infants. Infants whose mothers reported household food insecurity did not attain 1-3 month GMCD milestones (A, C, E) for receptive language, large movement, relating and response behaviour or play activities, or 3-5 month GMCD milestones (B, D, F) for fine movement or relating and response behaviour in the same proportion as the international standardization sample. Maternal reports of food insecurity did not associate with risk of not attaining all 1-3 month or 3-5 month GMCD milestones (A-F, [p>0.05], Fisher’s exact 2-Tail). Data are proportion (%) of infants who attained all age-appropriate GMCD milestones. The horizontal dotted line represents the GMCD standardised international sample proportion (85%) of infants who attained all milestones in that age category, when they were in that age range. The numbers underneath the bars represent the number of infants attaining all milestones for each milestone. GMCD = Guide for monitoring child development; HUU = HIV-unexposed, uninfected infant; HEU = HIVexposed, uninfected infant.
