description: Instance segmentation is an important task for biomedical and biological image analysis. Due to the complicated background components, the high variability of object appearances, numerous overlapping objects, and ambiguous object boundaries, this task still remains challenging. Recently, deep learning based methods have been widely employed to solve these problems and can be categorized into proposal-free and proposal-based methods. However, both proposal-free and proposal-based methods suffer from information loss, as they focus on either global-level semantic or local-level instance features. To tackle this issue, we present a Panoptic Feature Fusion Net (PFFNet) that unifies the semantic and instance features in this work. Specifically, our proposed PFFNet contains a residual attention feature fusion mechanism to incorporate the instance prediction with the semantic features, in order to facilitate the semantic contextual information learning in the instance branch. Then, a mask quality sub-branch is designed to align the confidence score of each object with the quality of the mask prediction. Furthermore, a consistency regularization mechanism is designed between the semantic segmentation tasks in the semantic and instance branches, for the robust learning of both tasks. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed PFFNet, which outperforms several state-of-the-art methods on various biomedical and biological datasets.

description: We determine the value of the quark condensate from quenched QCD simulations on the lattice in two ways: (i) by using the GMOR formula; (ii) by comparing the OPE prediction for the Goldstone pole contribution to the pseudoscalar vertex, at moderately large momenta. In the MSbar scheme at mu=2 GeV, from the GMOR formula we obtain = -(273 +/- 19 MeV)^3. We show that the value extracted from the pseudoscalar vertex, = - (312 +/- 24 MeV)^3, is consistent with the result obtained from the first (standard) method.

description: The public education system in India is characterised by the discourses of ‘no learning’ and ‘no teaching’. India has achieved universal enrolment but several surveys show that students are not learning. There is also a widely held perception, supported by research that no teaching takes place in government schools. In this context, Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) have been promoted by the Indian government as a measure to improve the quality of education. Increasingly, non-state actors are driving reforms in curriculum, pedagogy and teacher training. Eventually, the impact of these developments is felt by teachers whose voice is not represented in literature on PPPs. This dissertation uses a qualitative research design to ground the phenomenon of PPPs in teachers’ experiences and understand their perspectives on the implications of PPPs for the role of the state and their own practice.

description: Segmentation of brain structures from magnetic resonance (MR) scans plays an important role in the quantification of brain morphology. Since 3D deep learning models suffer from high computational cost, 2D deep learning methods are favored for their computational efficiency. However, existing 2D deep learning methods are not equipped to effectively capture 3D spatial contextual information that is needed to achieve accurate brain structure segmentation. In order to overcome this limitation, we develop an Anatomical Context-Encoding Network (ACEnet) to incorporate 3D spatial and anatomical contexts in 2D convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for efficient and accurate segmentation of brain structures from MR scans, consisting of 1) an anatomical context encoding module to incorporate anatomical information in 2D CNNs and 2) a spatial context encoding module to integrate 3D image information in 2D CNNs. In addition, a skull stripping module is adopted to guide the 2D CNNs to attend to the brain. Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets have demonstrated that our method achieves promising performance compared with state-of-the-art alternative methods for brain structure segmentation in terms of both computational efficiency and segmentation accuracy.

description: Koopman decomposition is a non-linear generalization of eigen-decomposition, and is being increasingly utilized in the analysis of spatio-temporal dynamics. Well-known techniques such as the dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) and its linear variants provide approximations to the Koopman operator, and have been applied extensively in many fluid dynamic problems. Despite being endowed with a richer dictionary of nonlinear observables, nonlinear variants of the DMD, such as extended/kernel dynamic mode decomposition (EDMD/KDMD) are seldom applied to large-scale problems primarily due to the difficulty of discerning the Koopman invariant subspace from thousands of resulting Koopman eigenmodes. To address this issue, we propose a framework based on multi-task feature learning to extract the most informative Koopman invariant subspace by removing redundant and spurious Koopman triplets. In particular, we develop a pruning procedure that penalizes departure from linear evolution. These algorithms can be viewed as sparsity promoting extensions of EDMD/KDMD. Further, we extend KDMD to a continuous-time setting and show a relationship between the present algorithm, sparsity-promoting DMD, and an empirical criterion from the viewpoint of non-convex optimization. The effectiveness of our algorithm is demonstrated on examples ranging from simple dynamical systems to two-dimensional cylinder wake flows at different Reynolds numbers and a three-dimensional turbulent ship air-wake flow. The latter two problems are designed such that very strong nonlinear transients are present, thus requiring an accurate approximation of the Koopman operator. Underlying physical mechanisms are analyzed, with an emphasis on characterizing transient dynamics. The results are compared to existing theoretical expositions and numerical approximations.

description: Everything in nature is closely related, including us human beings and other animals, plants, and even inanimate - everything, all of which is given by it, nature. Our experiment attempts to determine the relationship between nature and UBC students’ decisions. Specifically, does being physically present in nature influence students’ responses when it comes to supporting UBC’s environmental projects? The experiment consists of a total of 100 university students from University of British Columbia (UBC) all randomly selected. The students belong to either Group A or Group B. Participants in Group A were asked to complete a survey at Irving Learning Center and Group B were asked to do the same at the Forestry Garden. The responses were measured and calculated. Results suggest that there is a relationship between nature and decision-making. UBC students will have a greater probability to encourage on-campus project when they are in a natural setting. The experiment also has an underlying implication that students are more appreciative of nature when they are interacting with it. Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community.

description: In Tingley (2003), all available transit detection algorithms were compared in a simple, rigorous test. However, the implementation of the Box-fitting Least Squares (BLS) approach of Kovacs et al. (2002) used in that paper was not ideal for those purposes. This letter revisits the comparison, using a version of the BLS better suited to the task at hand and made more efficient via the knowledge gained from the previous work. Multiple variations of the BLS and the matched filter are tested. Some of the modifications improve performance to such an extent that the conclusions of the original paper must be revised.

title: Building Evidence on National Malaria Data Repository as a decision support tool of Use of Data for decision making in Malaria Programme, Nigeria
Creators: name: Maikore, IK
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
Year: 2021

description: Several decision-support tools for use in the health sector exist to address barriers to data-informed decision making in many malaria-endemic countries, including Nigeria. However, the evaluation of such decision support tools is still scanty. As part of the drive to help reduce malaria in high burden countries, the WHO has identified data for decision-making as a key area to achieve impact. In response, Nigeria has established a functional national malaria data repository (NMDR) with programme tracking dashboards launched in 2020. This study presents an evaluation of the short-term evidence of the NMDR as a decision support tool at the national level during the development of the last Global Fund (GF) funding request and the national malaria strategic plan (NSP) in Nigeria. The specific objectives of the research are: 1) to review the national level use of data for developing the 2014 – 2020 national strategic plan and 2018 – 2020 global fund funding request prior to the implementation of the NMDR, 2) to evaluate how the NMDR facilitates the use of evidence in the development of the 2021 – 2023 Global Fund funding request at three months post-NMDR deployment and 3) to assess how the NMDR facilitates the use of evidence for the development of the 2021 – 2025 strategic plan at nine months post-deployment of the NMDR. This research adopted a retrospective policy analysis using qualitative assessments of key informant interviews, participant observations, and document analysis. To obtain a baseline of data availability and use prior to the NMDR deployment, I carried out a document review of the previous strategic documents and correspondences during the document development. Next, I carried out a periodic evaluation of the use of evidence for decision making within the GF funding request, which was submitted three months post-NMDR, and the NSP, which was submitted six months post-NMDR deployment. The primary outcome of the evaluation demonstrates that the NMDR bridges the gap of availability of data and facilitates the use of data during the two strategic documents development. Even though data availability has improved over the past few years, it is still essential to have the right tools to make the data more accessible. This study has attempted to demonstrate the effect that the NMDR tool can have. However, it also points out that there is still a lot of work to achieve a satisfactory level of evidence used for decision making in the country.
Large frequency drifts during Type I X-ray bursts

description: We study the spin-down of a neutron star atmosphere during the Type I X-ray burst in low mass X-ray binaries. Using polar cap acceleration models, we show that the resulting stellar ``wind'' torque on the burning shell due to the flowing charged particles (electrons, protons and ions) from the star's polar caps may change the shell's angular momentum during the burst. We conclude that the net change in the angular momentum of the star's atmosphere can account for rather large frequency drifts observed during Type I X-ray burst.

description: Entanglement is a crucial resource for quantum information processing, and so protocols to generate high fidelity entangled states on various hardware platforms are in demand. While spin chains have been extensively studied to generate entanglement, graph structures also have such potential; however, only a few classes of graphs have been explored for this specific task. In this paper, we apply a particular coupling scheme involving two different coupling strengths to a graph of two interconnected $3\times3$ square graphs such that it effectively contains three defects. We show how this structure allows generation of a Bell state whose fidelity depends on the chosen coupling ratio. We apply partitioned graph theory in order to reduce the dimension of the graph and show that, using a reduced graph or a reduced chain, we can still simulate the same protocol with identical dynamics. Finally, we investigate how fabrication errors affect the entanglement generation protocol and how the different equivalent structures are affected, finding that for some specific coupling ratios they are extremely robust.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We show the three-loop integrability of large N plane-wave matrix theory in a subsector of states comprised of two complex light scalar fields. This is done by diagonalizing the theory's Hamiltonian in perturbation theory and taking the large N limit. At one-loop level the result is known to be equal to the Heisenberg spin-1/2 chain, which is a well-known integrable system. Here, integrability implies the existence of hidden conserved charges and results in a degeneracy of parity pairs in the spectrum. In order to confirm integrability at higher loops, we show that this degeneracy is not lifted and that (corrected) conserved charges exist. Plane-wave matrix theory is intricately connected to N=4 Super Yang-Mills, as it arises as a consistent reduction of the gauge theory on a three-sphere. We find that after appropriately renormalizing the mass parameter of the plane-wave matrix theory the effective Hamiltonian is identical to the dilatation operator of N=4 Super Yang-Mills theory in the considered subsector. Our results therefore represent a strong support for the conjectured three-loop integrability of planar N=4 SYM and are in disagreement with a recent dual string theory finding. Finally, we study the stability of the large N integrability against nonsupersymmetric deformations of the model.

description: Typical de Sitter (dS) vacua of gauged supergravity correspond to saddle points of the potential and often the unstable mode runs into a singularity. We explore the possibility to obtain dS points where the unstable mode goes on both sides into a supersymmetric smooth vacuum. Within N=2 gauged supergravity coupled to the universal hypermultiplet, we have found a potential which has two supersymmetric minima (one of them can be flat) and these are connected by a de Sitter saddle point. In order to obtain this potential by an Abelian gauging, it was important to include the recently proposed quantum corrections to the universal hypermultiplet sector. Our results apply to four as well as five dimensional gauged supergravity theories.

description: We present studies of quantum algorithms exploiting machine learning to classify events of interest from background events, one of the most representative machine learning applications in high-energy physics. We focus on variational quantum approach to learn the properties of input data and evaluate the performance of the event classification using both simulators and quantum computing devices. Comparison of the performance with standard multi-variate classification techniques based on a boosted-decision tree and a deep neural network using classical computers shows that the quantum algorithm has comparable performance with the standard techniques at the considered ranges of the number of input variables and the size of training samples. The variational quantum algorithm is tested with quantum computers, demonstrating that the discrimination of interesting events from background is feasible. Characteristic behaviors observed during a learning process using quantum circuits with extended gate structures are discussed, as well as the implications of the current performance to the application in high-energy physics experiments.

description: Using a sample of $58\times 10^6$ $J/ψ$ events collected with the BESII detector, radiative decays $J/ψ\toγγV$, where $V=ρ$ or $ϕ$, are studied. A resonance around 1420 MeV/c$^2$ (X(1424)) is observed in the $γρ$ mass spectrum. Its mass and width are measured to be $1424\pm 10(stat)\pm 11(sys)$ MeV/c$^2$ and $ 101.0\pm 8.8 \pm 8.8$ MeV/c$^2$, respectively, and its branching ratio $B(J/ψ\to γX(1424)\to γγρ)$ is determined to be $(1.07\pm0.17 \pm 0.11)\times 10^{-4}$. A search for $X(1424)\to γϕ$ yields a 95% C.L. upper limit $B(J/ψ\to γX(1424)\to γγϕ) < 0.82 \times 10^{-4}$.

description: As light propagates along a waveguide, a fraction of the field can be reflected by Rayleigh scatterers. In high-quality-factor whispering-gallery-mode microresonators, this intrinsic backscattering is primarily caused by either surface or bulk material imperfections. For several types of microresonator-based experiments and applications, minimal backscattering in the cavity is of critical importance, and thus, the ability to suppress backscattering is essential. We demonstrate that the introduction of an additional scatterer into the near field of a high-quality-factor microresonator can coherently suppress the amount of backscattering in the microresonator by more than 30 dB. The method relies on controlling the scatterer position such that the intrinsic and scatterer-induced backpropagating fields destructively interfere. This technique is useful in microresonator applications where backscattering is currently limiting the performance of devices, such as ring-laser gyroscopes and dual frequency combs, which both suffer from injection locking. Moreover, these findings are of interest for integrated photonic circuits in which back reflections could negatively impact the stability of laser sources or other components.

However, using complex ensemble or deep learning algorithms typically results in black box models, where the path leading to individual predictions cannot be followed in detail. In order to address this issue, we propose the novel "Cyclic Boosting" machine learning algorithm, which allows to efficiently perform accurate regression and classification tasks while at the same time allowing a detailed understanding of how each individual prediction was made.

description: To ensure pedestrian friendly streets in the era of automated vehicles, reassessment of current policies, practices, design, rules and regulations of urban areas is of importance. This study investigates pedestrian crossing behaviour, as an important element of urban dynamics that is expected to be affected by the presence of automated vehicles. For this purpose, an interpretable machine learning framework is proposed to explore factors affecting pedestrians' wait time before crossing mid-block crosswalks in the presence of automated vehicles. To collect rich behavioural data, we developed a dynamic and immersive virtual reality experiment, with 180 participants from a heterogeneous population in 4 different locations in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Pedestrian wait time behaviour is then analyzed using a data-driven Cox Proportional Hazards (CPH) model, in which the linear combination of the covariates is replaced by a flexible non-linear deep neural network. The proposed model achieved a 5% improvement in goodness of fit, but more importantly, enabled us to incorporate a richer set of covariates. A game theoretic based interpretability method is used to understand the contribution of different covariates to the time pedestrians wait before crossing. Results show that the presence of automated vehicles on roads, wider lane widths, high density on roads, limited sight distance, and lack of walking habits are the main contributing factors to longer wait times. Our study suggested that, to move towards pedestrian-friendly urban areas, national level educational programs for children, enhanced safety measures for seniors, promotion of active modes of transportation, and revised traffic rules and regulations should be considered.

description: Relaxation can be found as a significant factor that promotes a higher level of sleeping quality. To explore the correlation between relaxation and aroma, this experiment was conducted in University of British Columbia to measure people’s relaxation levels after providing three different scent conditions. The three scents includes lavender, yuzu, and neutral scent, which was water. We examined how each scent has an influence on promoting relaxation to a certain degree by using an online questionnaire survey. Our participants smelled each type of scent first and then gave an answer about how relaxed they felt afterwards. The results showed that there is a significant difference in the levels of relaxation between the aroma scents condition and the control condition, which demonstrates that regardless of lavender or yuzu, people felt more relaxed after smelling pleasant aroma scents compared to a neutral scent. Our research can be applied to the project of building UBC napping area by implementing a pleasant aroma scent, in sequence to providing a comfortable sleeping environment for students.

title: Characterization of a protein of the rodent malarial parasite Plasmodium chabaudi containing a novel leucine-histidine zipper
Creators: name: Werner, Ekkehard Bruno Ernst
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1995

description: Clones from cDNA and genomic DNA libraries of Plasmodium chabaudi 96V covering the entire open reading frame for a yet uncharacterized malarial protein were isolated Counting the first ATG as start codon the intronless gene codes for a 229 kDa protein. In the centre of the protein a 364 amino add repeat region is located and is based on 32 11-mer repeats divided by two 6-mer repeats into three blocks.

Modelling of the repeat region led us to propose a model where each of the three units forms an a-helical coiled-coil triple-helix containing a novel leucine-histidine zipper. Each unit resembles in structure the units present in spectrin molecules. The repeat region is flanked by predicted heptad based a-helical coiled-coil regions and the 229 kDa protein has an overall character of a cytoskeletal protein.

Antisera raised against recombinant polypeptides from two different regions of the 229 kDa protein reacted in western-blotting experiments with a Mr 240 000/ 225 000 doublet present in protein extracts from P. chabaudi 96V. The same sera in immunofluorescence suggested a localization of the 229 kDa protein in the organelles of the apical complex, presumably in the rhoptry organelles, and an assodation of the 229 kDa protein with the erythrocyte membrane. Furthermore it was shown in westernblotting experiments with the recombinant polypqjtides that the 229 kDa protein is a natural immunogen during infection.

We named the 229 kDa protein Rq>eated Organellar Protein (ROPE) and suggest that ROPE may be involved in the process of invasion, that it interacts with the erythrocyte cytoskeleton and that the leucine-histidine zipper may be involved in molecular mimicry of spectrin.

description: We study a system of a quantum particle interacting with a singular time-dependent uniformly rotating potential in 2 and 3 dimensions: in particular we consider an interaction with support on a point (rotating point interaction) and on a set of codimension 1 (rotating blade). We prove the existence of the Hamiltonians of such systems as suitable self-adjoint operators and we give an explicit expression for their unitary semigroups. Moreover we analyze the asymptotic limit of large angular velocity and we prove strong convergence of the time-dependent propagator to some one-parameter unitary group as (ω\to \infty).

Lossless monochromation for electron microscopy with pulsed photoemission sources and rf cavities

description: Resonant radiofrequency cavities enable exquisite time-energy control of electron beams when synchronized with laser driven photoemission. We present a lossless monochromator design that exploits this fine control in the one-electron-per-pulse regime. The theoretically achievable maximum beam current on target is orders of magnitude greater than state-of-the-art monochromators for the same spatial and energy resolution. This improvement is the result of monochromating in the time domain, unconstrained by the transverse brightness of the electron source. We show analytically and confirm numerically that cavity parameters chosen to minimize energy spread perform the additional function of undoing the appreciable effect of chromatic aberration in the upstream optics. We argue that our design has significant applications in both ultra-fast and non-time-resolved microscopy, provided photoelectron sources of sufficiently small size and laser sources of sufficiently high repetition rate. Our design achieves in simulations more than two orders of magnitude reduction in beam energy spread, down to single digit meV. Overcoming the minimum probe-size limit that chromatic aberration imposes, our design clears a path for high-current, high-resolution electron beam applications at primary energies from single to hundreds of keV.

description: (Abridged) We examine the power source of 41 local Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies using archival infrared and optical photometry. We fit the observed Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs) with starburst and AGN components; each component being drawn from a family of templates. We find all of the sample require a starburst, whereas only half require an AGN. In 90% of the sample the starburst provides over half the IR emission, with a mean fractional luminosity of 82%. When combined with other galaxy samples we find that starburst and AGN luminosities correlate over 6 decades in IR luminosity suggesting that a common factor governs both luminosities, plausibly the gas masses in the nuclear regions. We find that the mid-IR 7.7 micron line-continuum ratio is no indication of the starburst luminosity, or the fractional AGN luminosity, and therefore that this ratio is not a reliable diagnostic of the power source in ULIRGs. We propose that the scatter in the radio-IR correlation in ULIRGs is due to a skewed starburst IMF and/or relic relativistic electrons from a previous starburst, rather than contamination from an obscured AGN. We show that most ULIRGs undergo multiple starbursts during their lifetime, and by inference that mergers between more than two galaxies may be common amongst ULIRGs. Our results support the evolutionary model for ULIRGs proposed by Farrah et al 2001, where they can follow many different evolutionary paths of starburst and AGN activity in transforming merging spiral galaxies into elliptical galaxies, but that most do not go through an optical QSO phase. The lower level of AGN activity in our local sample than in z~1 HLIRGs implies that the two samples are distinct populations. We postulate that different galaxy formation processes at high-z are responsible for this difference.

description: Solving power flow (PF) equations is the basis of power flow analysis, which is important in determining the best operation of existing systems, performing security analysis, etc. However, PF equations can be out-of-date or even unavailable due to system dynamics and uncertainties, making traditional numerical approaches infeasible. To address these concerns, researchers have proposed data-driven approaches to solve the PF problem by learning the mapping rules from historical system operation data. Nevertheless, prior data-driven approaches suffer from poor performance and generalizability, due to overly simplified assumptions of the PF problem or ignorance of physical laws governing power systems. In this paper, we propose a physics-guided neural network to solve the PF problem, with an auxiliary task to rebuild the PF model. By encoding different granularity of Kirchhoff's laws and system topology into the rebuilt PF model, our neural-network based PF solver is regularized by the auxiliary task and constrained by the physical laws. The simulation results show that our physics-guided neural network methods achieve better performance and generalizability compared to existing unconstrained data-driven approaches. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the weight matrices of our physics-guided neural networks embody power system physics by showing their similarities with the bus admittance matrices.

description: We provide a realisation of a singularity-free inflationary universe in the form of a simple cosmological model dominated at early times by a single minimally coupled scalar field with a physically based potential. The universe starts asymptotically from an initial Einstein static state, which may be large enough to avoid the quantum gravity regime. It enters an expanding phase that leads to inflation followed by reheating and a standard hot Big Bang evolution. We discuss the basic characteristics of this Emergent model and show that none is at odds with current observations.
