description: Starting as highly relativistic collimated jets, gamma-ray burst outflows gradually decelerate and become non-relativistic spherical blast waves. Although detailed analytical solutions describing the afterglow emission received by an on-axis observer during both the early and late phases of the outflow evolution exist, a calculation of the received flux during the intermediate phase and for an off-axis observer requires either a more simplified analytical model or direct numerical simulations of the outflow dynamics. In this paper we present light curves for off-axis observers covering the long-term evolution of the blast wave calculated from a high resolution two-dimensional relativistic hydrodynamics simulation using a synchrotron radiation model. We compare our results to earlier analytical work and calculate the consequence of the observer angle with respect to the jet axis both for the detection of orphan afterglows and for jet break fits to the observational data. We find that observable jet breaks can be delayed for up to several weeks for off-axis observers, potentially leading to overestimation of the beaming corrected total energy. When using our off-axis light curves to create synthetic Swift X-ray data, we find that jet breaks are likely to remain hidden in the data. We also confirm earlier results in the literature finding that only a very small number of local Type Ibc supernovae can harbor an orphan afterglow.

description: We present our most recent investigations on the QCD cross-over transition temperatures with 2+1 staggered flavours and one-link stout improvement [JHEP 1009:073, 2010]. We extend our previous two studies [Phys. Lett. B643 (2006) 46, JHEP 0906:088 (2009)] by choosing even finer lattices ($N_t$=16) and we work again with physical quark masses. All these results are confronted with the predictions of the Hadron Resonance Gas model and Chiral Perturbation Theory for temperatures below the transition region. Our results can be reproduced by using the physical spectrum in these analytic calculations. A comparison with the results of the hotQCD collaboration is also discussed.

description: Purpose of the present paper is to view the correspondence between Ricci and other dark energies. We have considered the Ricci dark energy in presence of dark matter in non-interacting situation. Subsequently, we have derived the pressure and energy density for Ricci dark energy. The equation of state parameter has been generated from these pressure and energy density. Next, we have considered the correspondence between Ricci and other dark energy models, namely tachyonic field, DBI-essence and new agegraphic dark energy without any interaction and investigated possible cosmological consequences.

Identifying and characterizing caveolin-1 derived peptides : a novel approach to promoting nitric oxide release from the endothelium
Creators: name: Trane, Andy E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Cardiovascular diseases are one of the largest causes of mortality globally. One of the hallmarks of cardiovascular diseases is a reduction in systemic endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)-derived Nitric Oxide (NO), a critical regulator of vascular homeostasis. eNOS regulation is complex, involving phosphorylation and direct protein interactions. The main negative regulator is caveolin-1 (Cav-1), the homo-oligomeric coat protein of caveolae, which interacts with eNOS via its scaffolding domain (CAV). Studies have shown that alanine substitution of F92 in CAV can lead to abolishment of the inhibitory effect on eNOS; furthermore, CAV peptides with the F92A substitution can be used as an antagonist to promote basal eNOS-derived NO to reduce blood pressure and reduce cardiovascular disease progression. We hypothesized that identification of the eNOS binding motif in CAV could be used as the basis for a pharmacophore to develop antagonists aimed at increasing vascular NO. We performed a protein interaction study to identify a 10 residue ‘binding site peptide’ (BSP) in CAV that could account for the majority of eNOS binding. Both BSP and its F92A counterpart (BSPF92A) bound eNOS with similar affinity as the full CAV sequence as confirmed by polarization assay, while computational modeling suggested that the peptides inserted themselves in to a hydrophobic pocket in eNOS. While substitution of F92 prevents inhibition of activated eNOS, we found that both BSP and BSPF92A could promote basal NO release from resting endothelial cells (ECs), independent of cell permeabilization sequence used. Furthermore, BSP and BSPF92A generated NO in an eNOS and lipid raft dependent manner. Subsequently, we found that neither BSP nor BSPF92A affected basic biochemical properties of eNOS and Cav-1, such as oligomerization, subcellular targeting and co-localization. Instead, the presence of F92 was found to promote phosphorylation of eNOS, an important step in its activation. As a result of this finding, we have identified the basis for two different pharmacophores that increase NO in different manners. One that promotes activity indirectly (BSP) while the other one acts as an antagonist (BSPF92A). We hope to use this as the beginnings for a therapeutics development platform to promote cardioprotective NO.

description: I libri di Marcella Terrusi e di Hamelin sugli albi illustrati colmano un vuoto imbarazzante nel panorama critico italiano. Se infatti all’estero, soprattutto in ambito francofono e anglosassone, gli studi sull’album o sul picture book sono sempre più numerosi, in Italia un saggio ampio e documentato su come leggere questa particolare forma narrativa che include parole e immagini, o addirittura soltanto immagini, ancora mancava. L’uscita, quasi in contemporanea, dei due volumi, presentati alla fiera del libro per ragazzi di Bologna, non pare allora tanto una semplice coincidenza, quanto il segno che è stata finalmente riconosciuta anche nel nostro paese una dignità artistica e culturale a questi libri destinati alla prima infanzia, fino a poco tempo fa guardati con sufficienza dalla critica per la supposta semplicità e povertà dei loro contenuti.

description: Effect of irradiation on graphene oxide by sunlight, UV light and KrF excimer laser has been investigated in detail. Both sunlight and ultraviolet light reduce graphene oxide well after prolonged irradiation, but laser irradiation produces graphene with negligible oxygen functionalities within a short time. Laser irradiation is also useful for one-step synthesis of metal particle decorated graphene. Laser irradiation of graphene oxide appears to be an efficient procedure for large-scale synthesis of graphene.

description: Che rapporto c’è fra uno spettacolo teatrale, un’opera lirica, un film, un balletto, un parco a tema, un video gioco e il testo che per primo ha fermato nell’immaginario collettivo quella storia? Quanto spesso questo rapporto è diretto e non mediato da altre narrazioni o rappresentazioni? Quali sono le ragioni che spingono un regista, uno scrittore, un musicista a riprendere storie già scritte, raccontate, rappresentate e a riraccontarle servendosi dello stesso medium o di altri media? E quando una di queste riscritture diventa “l’originale” o l’archetipo? Hutcheon mostra con numerosi e interessanti esempi come, oggi forse più che mai, gli «adattamenti impazzino», e come essi riguardino non solo il prevedibile e studiato rapporto fra narrativa e cinema, ma i più svariati generi, media e ambiti, molti dei quali con ricadute economiche rilevanti.

description: The quasistatic limit of the antiplane shear-wave speed ('effective speed') $c$ in 2D periodic lattices is studied. Two new closed-form estimates of $c$ are derived by employing two different analytical approaches. The first proceeds from a standard background of the plane wave expansion (PWE). The second is a new approach, which resides in $\mathbf{x}$-space and centers on the monodromy matrix (MM) introduced in the 2D case as the multiplicative integral, taken in one coordinate, of a matrix with components being the operators with respect to the other coordinate. On the numerical side, an efficient PWE-based scheme for computing $c$ is proposed and implemented. The analytical and numerical findings are applied to several examples of 2D square lattices with two and three high-contrast components, for which the new PWE and MM estimates are compared with the numerical data and with some known approximations. It is demonstrated that the PWE estimate is most efficient in the case of densely packed stiff inclusions, especially when they form a symmetric lattice, while in general it is the MM estimate that provides the best overall fitting accuracy.

Migration ecology of juvenile Pacific salmon smolts : the role of fish condition and behaviour across landscapes
Creators: name: Furey, Nathan B
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Migrations are utilized across taxa to exploit spatiotemporal variability across landscapes. The benefits of migrations are balanced with costs, and understanding the factors that limit migratory success is needed for proper management and conservation. Sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) are of economic, cultural, and ecological importance and undergo downstream migrations from natal freshwater systems through rivers to the ocean as juvenile smolts. In this thesis, I describe a series of studies investigating the migration behaviour and survival of sockeye smolts emigrating from Chilko Lake, British Columbia, a large population that experiences poor survival in the Chilko River. First, field sampling and bioenergetics models were used to find that short-term feeding on smolts by bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) in the Chilko River was extreme, not limited by cold temperatures, and resulted in greater exploitation of smolts than expected using traditional bioenergetic assumptions. Examining bull trout stomach contents revealed that consumed smolts had higher rates of infection by hematopoietic necrosis virus and Flavobacterium psychrophilum and were smaller than non-predated smolts. Through acoustic telemetry, I found that smolts traversing the upper Chilko River with higher densities of conspecifics experienced improved survival relative to smolts travelling at times when few smolts were migrating. Thus swamping predators can maximize survival. It is more difficult to conduct field studies in the coastal marine environment such as the Strait of Georgia, and even knowledge on migration routes and behaviour is limited. Aggregating telemetry data collected over ~10 years of research on sockeye and steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) populations determined that contingents of both species exhibited westward lateral movements within the strait, consistent with predicted currents. Steelhead using the eastern migratory route experienced improved survival through the Strait to a location ~250 km further along the migratory corridor - a rare example of migration route impacting fitness. Individually, chapters advanced the fields of migration and feeding ecology and tested long-held ecological hypotheses. Important links were identified between smolt migration behaviour and/or survival and components of the movement ecology framework. This thesis has expanded our understanding of the factors influencing the migration of one of the largest sockeye populations in Canada.

Resounding in the Human Body as the ‘True Sanskrit’ of Nature

description: The early German Romantics Novalis and Johann Wilhelm Ritter interpret Klangfiguren (“sound figures,” known most commonly as “Chladni Figures”) as representing the universal language of nature, with sound containing its own writing—sound that can be seen, and writing that can be heard—a language that is therefore revealed with the human body as its instrument. Their postulations serve as a useful model on how to consider music’s and more generally sound’s communication with the human body—focusing not on how it is processed through the ears, but rather by the body itself.

description: Nucleosynthesis in the s process takes place in the He burning layers of low mass AGB stars and during the He and C burning phases of massive stars. The s process contributes about half of the element abundances between Cu and Bi in solar system material. Depending on stellar mass and metallicity the resulting s-abundance patterns exhibit characteristic features, which provide comprehensive information for our understanding of the stellar life cycle and for the chemical evolution of galaxies. The rapidly growing body of detailed abundance observations, in particular for AGB and post-AGB stars, for objects in binary systems, and for the very faint metal-poor population represents exciting challenges and constraints for stellar model calculations. Based on updated and improved nuclear physics data for the s-process reaction network, current models are aiming at ab initio solution for the stellar physics related to convection and mixing processes. Progress in the intimately related areas of observations, nuclear and atomic physics, and stellar modeling is reviewed and the corresponding interplay is illustrated by the general abundance patterns of the elements beyond iron and by the effect of sensitive branching points along the s-process path. The strong variations of the s-process efficiency with metallicity bear also interesting consequences for Galactic chemical evolution.

description: In this article, I discuss ways in which the Tunisian ʻūd ʻarbī with which people perform contemporary mālūf, one of urban Tunisia’s foremost musical genres, relate to its sound and players’ body. I explore the reflexive dynamic by which intersensorial experience (Connor, 2004) of ʻūd ʻarbī roots the instrument's sound in Tunisian society. Particular qualities– effects of the plectrum's special position and touches; hands movements, resonances and production of microtones for instance generate a timbre to enact its "Tunisian sound", becoming distinct and defining a territory.

description: Message Sequence Charts (MSCs) are an appealing visual formalism mainly used in the early stages of system design to capture the system requirements. However, if we move towards an implementation, an executable specifications related in some fashion to the MSC-based requirements must be obtained. The MSCs can be used effectively to specify the bus protocol in the way where high-level transition systems is used to capture the control flow of the system components of the protocol and MSCs to describe the non-atomic component interactions. This system of specification is amenable to formal verification. In this paper, we present the way how we can specify the bus protocols using MSCs and how these specifications can be translated into program of verification tool (we have used Symbolic Model Verifier (SMV)) for the use of formal verification. We have contributed to the following tasks in this respect. Firstly, the way to specify the protocol using MSC has been presented. Secondly, a translator that translates the specifications (described in a textual input file) into SMV programs has been constructed. Finally, we have presented the verification result of the AMBA bus protocol using the SMV program found through the translation process. The SMV program found through the translation process can be used in order to automatically verify various properties of any bus protocol specified.

description: A closed-source ICS communication is a fundamental component of supervisory software and PLCs operating critical infrastructure or configuring devices. As this is a vital communication, a compromised protocol can allow attackers to take over the entire critical infrastructure network and maliciously manipulate field device values. Thus, it is crucial to conduct security assessments of these closed-source protocol communications before deploying them in a production environment to ensure the safety of critical infrastructure. However, Fuzzing closed-source communication without understanding the protocol structure or state is ineffective, making testing such closed-source communications a challenging task.
 This research study introduces the APEX-ICS framework, which consists of two significant components: Automatic closed-source ICS protocol reverse-engineering and stateful black-box fuzzing. The former aims to reverse-engineer the protocol communication, which is critical to effectively performing the fuzzing technique. The latter component leverages the generated grammar to detect vulnerabilities in communication between supervisory software and PLCs. The framework prototype was implemented using the Codesys v3.0 closed-source protocol communication to conduct reverse engineering and fuzzing and successfully identified 4 previously unknown vulnerabilities, which were found to impact more than 400 manufacturer’s devices.

description: A new formula for the effective quasistatic speed of sound $c$ in 2D and 3D periodic materials is reported. The approach uses a monodromy-matrix operator to enable direct integration in one of the coordinates and exponentially fast convergence in others. As a result, the solution for $c$ has a more closed form than previous formulas. It significantly improves the efficiency and accuracy of evaluating $c$ for high-contrast composites as demonstrated by a 2D example with extreme behavior.

I first provide a reconstruction of somaesthetics’ relationship to music and explain why, in dealing with improvisation, I mostly focus on jazz. Then I connect the question of improvisation to the pragmatist attempt to reconcile art and life, and argue that improvised music can be understood as somatic knowledge. Finally, I exemplify my ideas by referring to jazz drumming and the improvisational capacities that it allows to display and that are of interest for theoretical, practical and pragmatic somaesthetics.

description: In this paper, we report on high angular resolution radio observations of the planetary nebula NGC 6881 obtained with the Very Large Array at a wavelength of 6 cm. The emission appears to be the superposition of a roundish core and a point-symmetric bipolar structure elongated along a position angle of about 145$^\circ$. This is strongly reminiscent of the morphology seen in H$α$ and [NII] images. A comparison between VLA observations obtained in 1984 and 1994 clearly reveals the expansion of the core of the nebula, at a rate of 2.1 $\pm$ 0.7 mas yr$^{-1}$. Assuming that the expansion velocity in the plane of the sky (determined from these measurements) and the expansion velocity along the line of sight (estimated from optical spectroscopy available in the literature) are equal, we find a distance to NGC 6881 of 1.6 $\pm$ 0.5 kpc $\pm$ 0.3 kpc, where the first error reflects the uncertainty on the expansion, and the second error comes from the potential difference between pattern and material speeds. This distance is compatible with (but does not necessarily imply) an association of NGC 6881 with the nearby HII region Sh 2-109 and, more generally, the Cygnus star-forming region.

Realistisk evaluering: Et supplement eller et alternativ til effektevaluering?

Publisher: name: Metode & Forskningsdesign
Year: 2020

description: Til at undersøge effekter anses det randomiserede kontrollerede forsøg (RCT[1]) som guldstandarden for evidens. De senere år har eksperimentelle og kvasi-eksperimentelle tilgange til effektevaluering imidlertid fået konkurrence af teoridrevne evalueringstilgange. Disse nyere tilgange undersøger, hvad der virker, for hvem, under hvilke omstændigheder det virker, og hvorfor en indsats virker. Der er især tale om den ”realistiske evaluering”, der på dansk ofte benævnes ”virkningsevaluering”. Artiklens formål er at illustrere, hvordan man som forsker eller evaluator vil kunne designe en evaluering, der kombinerer realistisk evaluering med mere klassisk effektevaluering. Der skelnes i artiklen mellem integreret og sekventiel modelanvendelse, og det konkluderes og illustreres, at kombinationsformen har afgørende betydning for, hvilke indsigter man kan nå frem som evaluator. Blandt realistiske evaluatorer er der imidlertid dyb uenighed om, hvorvidt modellerne kan og bør kombineres. Ophavsmændene til den realistiske evaluering er kritiske over for modelkombination, fordi de anser den realistiske kausalitetsforståelse som uforenelig med evaluering, hvor den kontrafaktiske situation etableres. Hovedparten af artiklen bruges derfor på at blotlægge og diskutere evalueringsmodellernes syn på kausalitet og metodeanvendelse ud fra et realistisk perspektiv. Det sker med henblik på at synliggøre de vigtigste argumenter for og imod at kombinere modellerne.

However, most current methods focus on maximizing the representation of species and don’t explicitly plan for the persistence of those species in the protected landscapes into the future. In this thesis, I present a new tool for systematic reserve design that optimizes the configuration of reserve networks to maximize persistence across multiple species. This method is based on metapopulation capacity, a relative, asymptotic metric of persistence derived from a spatially explicit metapopulation model. This metric requires few parameters to calculate, and incorporates the size and spatial configuration of reserves as well as species-specific dispersal dynamics among them. I demonstrate this method using a case study in Indonesian New Guinea with 114 terrestrial mammal species. Compared to Marxan, the most popular representation-based reserve design tool, my persistence-based method led to a 2.3-times increase in mean metapopulation capacity across all species. At the level of individual species, I identified two distinct groups: those that experienced significant benefits from the persistence-based approach and those for which the Marxan solution was nearly as good or slightly better. This thesis demonstrates that systematic reserve design can account for species persistence in an ecologically meaningful way, and that this approach can yield significant gains compared to traditional methods.

description: In this paper, an approach to facilitate the treatment with variabilities in system families is presented by explicitly modelling variants. The proposed method of managing variability consists of a variant part, which models variants and a decision table to depict the customisation decision regarding each variant. We have found that it is easy to implement and has advantage over other methods. We present this model as an integral part of modelling system families.

Explaining the t tbar forward-backward asymmetry without dijet or flavor anomalies

description: We consider new physics explanations of the anomaly in the top quark forward-backward asymmetry measured at the Tevatron, in the context of flavor conserving models. The recently measured LHC dijet distributions strongly constrain many otherwise viable models. A new scalar particle in the antitriplet representation of flavor and color can fit the t tbar asymmetry and cross section data at the Tevatron and avoid both low- and high-energy bounds from flavor physics and the LHC. An s-channel resonance in uc to uc scattering at the LHC is predicted to be not far from the current sensitivity. This model also predicts rich top quark physics for the early LHC from decays of the new scalar particles. Single production gives t tbar j signatures with high transverse momentum jet, pair production leads to t tbar j j and 4 jet final states.

description: Time-Series Cross-Section (TSCS) analyser anvendes ofte inden for komparativ politik og politisk økonomi. Betegnelsen TSCS henviser til, at, at man har en tids-dimension med perioder og en tværsnits-dimension med enheder De samme enheder observeres således over tid. Den metodiske litteratur om TSCS analyser antager oftest, at læseren kender til en række grundelementer i mødet med TSCS. I stedet fokuserer litteraturen på bestemte nye modeller og sammenligning af estimations­metoder. Vi giver her en samlet introduktion til grundelementerne, man som minimum bør være opmærksom, når man udfører TSCS analyser. De seks elementer, vi fokuserer på, er: (1) det teoretiserede forhold og variabeltyper, (2) ikke-stationære variable og håndtering heraf, (3) modelvalg og homogene/heterogene effekter, (4) lagstrukturer, (5) brugen af fixed effects og (6) kausalitet og tolkning af TSCS analyser. Alle elementer er bundet sammen ved et fælles mål om at skabe sammenhæng mellem teori, data og metode. Artiklen afsluttes med en TSCS ’kogebog’, der opsummerer de 6 punkter og giver en introducerende guide til TSCS analyser.

description: Spin pumping is a mechanism that generates spin currents from ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) over macroscopic interfacial areas, thereby enabling sensitive detection of the inverse spin Hall effect that transforms spin into charge currents in non-magnetic conductors. Here we study the spin-pumping-induced voltages due to the inverse spin Hall effect in permalloy/normal metal bilayers integrated into coplanar waveguides for different normal metals and as a function of angle of the applied magnetic field direction, as well as microwave frequency and power. We find good agreement between experimental data and a theoretical model that includes contributions from anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) and inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE). The analysis provides consistent results over a wide range of experimental conditions as long as the precise magnetization trajectory is taken into account. The spin Hall angles for Pt, Pd, Au and Mo were determined with high precision to be $0.013\pm0.002$, $0.0064\pm0.001$, $0.0035\pm0.0003$ and $-0.0005\pm0.0001$, respectively.

description: We determine and study the steady state of two independent two-level systems weakly coupled to a stationary non-equilibrium environment. Whereas this bipartite state is necessarily uncorrelated if the splitting energies of the two-level systems are different from each other, it can be entangled if they are equal. For identical two-level systems interacting with two bosonic heat baths at different temperatures, we discuss the influence of the baths temperatures and coupling parameters on their entanglement. Geometric properties, such as the baths dimensionalities and the distance between the two-level systems, are relevant. A regime is found where the steady state is a statistical mixture of the product ground state and of the entangled singlet state with respective weights 2/3 and 1/3.
