description: Das Auftreten eines Diffusionsflusses hervorgerufen durch einen Temperaturgradienten in mehrkomponentigen Mischungen wird als Thermodiffusion oder auch Soret-Effekt bezeichnet. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, einen in der Literatur für verdünnte Polymerlö- sungen postulierten universellen Grenzwert der thermophoretischen Mobilität, welcher lediglich von der Lösungsmittelviskosität abhängt, zu untersuchen. Hierfür werden binäre Mischungen von unterschiedlichen Halogenbenzolen (Fluor- Chlor- und Brombenzol) in linearen Alkanen (Hexan, Heptan, Oktan, Dekan, Dodekan, Tetradekan und Hexadekan) betrachtet. Ergänzend zu diesen Messungen werden auch Experimente mit Bromnaphthalin in Mischung mit den genannten Alkanen untersucht. Aufgrund der Sensitivität des Brechungsindex bezüglich Temperatur- und Konzen- trationsunterschieden wird eine optische Methode mit holographischen Gittern zur Untersuchung des Soret-Effekts verwendet. Damit können die Transportkoeffizienten, namentlich der Soretkoeffizient S_T , sowie der (Fick’sche) Diffusionskoeffizient D und der Thermodiffusionskoeffizient D_T , bestimmt werden. Anhand dieser Daten erfolgt zunächst eine Betrachtung zweier additiver Modelle zur quantitativen Beschreibung und somit zur Vorhersage des Soretkoeffizienten: der (Pseudo-)Isotopeneffekt und das Konzept der Thermophobizitäten. Somit kann ge- zeigt werden, dass die unterschiedlichen Soretkoeffizienten der Halogenbenzol/Alkan- Mischungen einen gemeinsamen chemischen Beitrag besitzen und die gemessenen Werte sich einzig durch den (Pseudo-)Isotopenanteil unterscheiden. Zudem kann das Modell der Thermophobizitäten bestätigt und eine bestehende Datenbank um eine Sub- stanz erweitert, sowie die Zahl der bekannten Mischungen auf 115 von 276 möglichen Kombinationen erhöht werden. Eine Diskussion der erhaltenen Diffusionskoeffizienten erfolgt im Rahmen der Stokes-Einstein-Gleichung, wobei anhand der Messdaten die Grenzen dieses Modells im Bereich molekularer Mischungen aufgezeigt werden kön- nen. Im Grenzfall asymptotischer Molmassenverhältnisse der Mischungskomponenten wird der bereits genannte universelle Grenzwert der thermophoretischen Mobilität für Polymerlösungen auch in den hier betrachteten Mischungen beobachtet. Dieser kann im Rahmen des Pseudo-Isotopeneffekts erklärt werden.

description: Combining several techniques, we propose an efficient and numerically reliable method to perform the quantum number projection and configuration mixing for most general mean-field states, i.e., the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) type product states without symmetry restrictions. As for example of calculations, we show the results of the simultaneous parity, number and angular-momentum projection from HFB type states generated from the cranked Woods-Saxon mean-field with a very large basis that is composed of Nmax=20 spherical harmonic oscillator shells.
Updating spatialLIBD: from SingleCellExperiment to VisiumExperiment classes

description: spatialLIBD is a package to interactively visualize the LIBD human dorsolateral pre-frontal cortex (DLPFC) spatial transcriptomics data (Maynard, Collado-Torres, Weber, Uytingco, et al., 2020). It contains functions for (1) accessing the spatial transcriptomics data from the LIBD Human Pilot project generated with the Visium platform from 10x Genomics, (2) visualizing the spot-level spatial gene expression data and clusters, and (3) inspecting the data interactively either on the user’s computer or through a web application. spatialLIBD used to employ R objects from the SingleCellExperiment class to store the data, nevertheless Righelli et al created a more accurate class, VisiumExperiment, for spatial transcriptomics data. In this work we made spatialLIBD able to use objects from the VisiumExperiment class by constructing a multi sample object and modifying the functions to receive this object as an input.

description: The vast amount of biological knowledge accumulated over the years has allowed researchers to identify various biochemical interactions and define different families of pathways. There is an increased interest in identifying pathways and pathway elements involved in particular biological processes. Drug discovery efforts, for example, are focused on identifying biomarkers as well as pathways related to a disease. We propose a Bayesian model that addresses this question by incorporating information on pathways and gene networks in the analysis of DNA microarray data. Such information is used to define pathway summaries, specify prior distributions, and structure the MCMC moves to fit the model. We illustrate the method with an application to gene expression data with censored survival outcomes. In addition to identifying markers that would have been missed otherwise and improving prediction accuracy, the integration of existing biological knowledge into the analysis provides a better understanding of underlying molecular processes.

description: Software Product Lines (SPL) approaches are gradually beingadopted as a powerful strategy for achieving high productivity and increasingquality in software engineering. A particular domain where the adoption ofsuch approach may bring relevant benefits is the mobile game domain giventhe big diversity of handsets and the large number of commonalities amongthese games. However, applying SPL approaches in such domain is not trivialbecause of some restrictions, such as reduced memory and application size. Inthis context, this work presents a practical approach to implement core assetsin a SPL in the mobile game domain combining good practices from previouswork and briefly describing a case study performedwith three mobile games.

description: Stability constants prediction plays a critical role in the identification and optimization of ligand design for selective complexation of metal ions in solution. Thus, it is important to assess the potential of metal-binding ligand organic in the complex formation process. However, quantitative structure-activity/property relationships (QSAR/QSPR) provide a time-and cost-efficient approach to predict the stability constants of compounds. To this end, we applied a free alignment three-dimensional QSPR technique by generating GRid-INdependent Descriptors (GRINDs) to rationalize the underlying factors effecting on stability constants of transition metals; 105 (Y3+), 186 (La3+), and 66 (UO22+) with diverse organic ligands in aqueous solutions at 298 K and an ionic strength of 0.1 M. Kennard– Stone algorithm was employed to split data set to a training set of 75% molecules and a test set of 25% molecules. Fractional factorial design (FFD) and genetic algorithm (GA) applied to derive the most relevant and optimal 3 D molecular descriptors. The selected descriptors using various feature selection were correlated with stability constants by partial least squares (PLS). GA-PLS models were statistically validated (R2 = 0.96, q2 = 0.82 and R2pred=0.81 for Y3+; R2 = 0.90, q2 = 0.73 and R2pred=0.82 for La3+ and R2 = 0.95, q2 = 0.81 and R2pred=0.88 for UO22+), and from the information derived from the graphical results confirmed that hydrogen bonding properties, shape, size, and steric effects are the main parameters influencing stability constant of metal complexation. The provided information in this research can predict the stability constant of the new organic ligand with the transition metals without experimental processes.

Migration and survival of juvenile spring Chinook salmon and sockeye salmon determined by a large-scale telemetry array
Creators: name: Rechisky, Erin Leanne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis documents the use a large-scale acoustic telemetry array to track hatchery-reared salmon smolts during their seaward migration, presents estimates of early marine survival, and describes migration behaviour in the ocean of two species of Pacific salmon from the Columbia and Fraser River basins. In the Columbia River basin, it is hypothesized that seaward migrating Snake River spring Chinook salmon suffer from “delayed mortality” due to passage through eight hydropower dams or “differential delayed mortality” from transportation via barge around the dams. I tested these hypotheses by comparing survival of in-river migrating smolts from the Snake River basin to 1) a Yakima River population that migrated past only four dams and 2) a Snake River group that was transported around all dams. Early marine survival estimates of non-transported Snake and Yakima smolts from the mouth of the Columbia River to Vancouver Island (a 485 km, one month journey) was equal in both 2006 and 2008 (2007 estimates were not available), which contradicts the delayed mortality theory. Early marine survival for the transported groups was slightly higher than for the in-river migrants, again contradicting the differential delayed mortality theory. These measurements form the first direct experimental test of key theories concerning juvenile fish survival in the coastal ocean. Cultus Lake sockeye salmon are a genetically unique population from the Fraser River basin and are now endangered due to the very low return of adults in recent years. Mean survivorship of smolts (2004-7) from release to the northern Strait of Georgia ranged from 10-50%, while survivorship to the final sub-array in Queen Charlotte Strait ranged from 7-28%. Cultus Lake smolts displayed four migratory behaviours: northward migration to enter the Pacific Ocean via Queen Charlotte Strait; westward migration through the Strait of Juan de Fuca; migration into Howe Sound before continued the migration north; and migration upstream into Cultus Lake. These are the first direct observations of movement and survival for Fraser River sockeye salmon smolts. The availability of early marine survival data fills key knowledge gaps and as well as permitting direct testing of important salmon conservation hypotheses and rapid scientific advance.

description: The spectrum of two bosons and two fermions in a trap is calculated using a correlated-Gaussian basis throughout the range of a broad Fano-Feshbach resonance. The calculations provide a few-body solution to the magneto-association of fermionic Feshbach molecules. This solution is used to study the time evolution of the system as the scattering length changes, mimicking experiments with Bose-Fermi mixtures near Fano-Feshbach resonances. The structure of avoided crossings in the few-body spectrum enables an interpretation of the dynamics of the system as a sequence of Landau-Zener transitions. The calculated molecule formation rate is compared with experimental observations.

description: Software Product Lines (SPL) processes aregradually being adopted by many companies in severaldomains. A particular domain where the adoption ofsuch processes may bring relevant benefits is themobile applications domain given the big diversity ofhandsets, although the characteristics of this domainusually create barriers to apply these processes inpractice, such as, restrictions of memory size andprocessing power and different API implementationsby different manufacturers. In this context, this workpresents briefly a practical approach to implementcore assets in a SPL applied to the mobile gamedomain combining the good practices from the alreadypublished processes and describes in details a casestudy performed with the application of this approach,based on three differentadventure mobile games. Theresults of the case study have shown the approach canbe suitable for the domain in question.

To every ideal in $\ell^{\infty}(\G)$ we associate a C$^*$-algebra completion of the group ring that encapsulates the unitary representations with matrix coefficients belonging to the ideal. The general framework we develop unifies some classical results and leads to new insights. For example, we give the first C$^*$-algebraic characterization of a-T-menability; a new characterization of property (T); new examples of "exotic" quantum groups; and, after extending our construction to transformation groupoids, we improve and simplify a recent result of Douglas and Nowak.

description: High-throughput single-cell data reveal an unprecedented view of cell identity and allow showing complex variations between conditions; nonetheless, most methods for differential expression target differences in the mean, and struggle to identify changes where the mean is not or marginally affected.

 Here, we present distinct, a general method for differential analysis of full distributions that is well suited to applications on single-cell data, such as single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and high-dimensional flow or mass cytometry (HDCyto) data.

 distinct is based on a hierarchical non-parametric permutation approach and, by comparing empirical cumulative distribution functions (ECDFs), identifies both differential patterns involving changes in the mean, as well as more subtle variations that do not involve the mean.

 We performed extensive benchmarks across both simulated and experimental data, where distinct shows very favourable performance, identifies more differential patterns than competitors, and displays good control of false positive and false discovery rates.

 distinct is available as a Bioconductor R package.

Unified and heterogeneous modeling of water vapour sorption in Douglas-fir wood with artificial neural networks
Creators: name: Tekleyohannes, Anteneh Tesfaye
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The objective of this study was firstly to investigate and understand sorption properties of earlywood, latewood, annual rings and gross wood. Secondly, to develop a heterogeneous sorption model for earlywood, latewood and annual rings by taking into consideration unified complex interactions of anatomy, chemical composition and thermodynamic parameters. Thirdly, to upscale the annual ring level model to gross wood by applying artificial neural networks (ANNs) modeling tools using dimensionally reduced inputs through dimensional analysis and genetic algorithms. Four novel physical models, namely, dynamical two-level systems (TLS) model of annual rings, sorption kinetics, sorption isotherms and TLS model of physical properties and chemical composition were derived and successfully validated using experimental data of Douglas-fir. The annual ring’s TLS model was capable to generate novel physical quantities, namely, golden ring volume (GRV) and golden ring cube (GRC) to which the sorption properties are very sensitive, according to the validation tests. A new heterogeneity test criterion (HTC) was also derived. Validations of the TLS sorption models revealed new evidence showing a transient nature of sorption hysteresis in which boundary sorption isotherms asymptotically converged to a single isotherm at large time limit. A novel method for the computation of internal surface area of wood was also validated using the TLS model of sorption isotherms. The fibre saturation point prediction of the model was also found to agree well with earlier reports. The TLS model of physical properties and chemical composition was able to reveal the self-organization in Douglas-fir that gives rise to allometric scaling. The TLS modeling revealed existence of self-organizing criticality (SOC) in Douglas-fir and demonstrated mechanisms by which it is generated. Ten categories of unified ANNs Douglas-fir sorption models that predict equilibrium moisture content, diffusion and surface emission coefficients were successfully developed and validated. The network models predict sorption properties of Douglas-fir using thermodynamic variables and parameters generated by the four TLS models from chemical composition and physical properties of annual rings. The findings of this study contribute to the creation of a decision support system that would allow predicting wood properties and processing characteristics based on chemical and structural attributes.

description: The secondary-to-primary B/C ratio is widely used to study Galactic cosmic-ray propagation processes. The 2H/4He and 3He/4He ratios probe a different Z/A regime, therefore testing the `universality' of propagation. We revisit the constraints on diffusion-model parameters set by the quartet (1H, 2H, 3He, 4He), using the most recent data as well as updated formulae for the inelastic and production cross-sections. The analysis relies on the USINE propagation package and a Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique to estimate the probability density functions of the parameters. Simulated data are also used to validate analysis strategies. The fragmentation of CNO cosmic rays (resp. NeMgSiFe) on the ISM during their propagation contributes to 20% (resp. 20%) of the 2H and 15% (resp. 10%) of the 3He flux at high energy. The C to Fe elements are also responsible for up to 10% of the 4He flux measured at 1 GeV/n. The analysis of 3He/4He (and to a less extent 2H/4He) data shows that the transport parameters are consistent with those from the B/C analysis: the diffusion model with delta~0.7 (diffusion slope), Vc~20 km/s (galactic wind), Va~40 km/s (reacceleration) is favoured, but the combination delta~0.2, Vc~0, and Va~80 km/s is a close second. The confidence intervals on the parameters show that the constraints set by the quartet data are competitive with those brought by the B/C data. These constraints are tighter when adding the 3He (or 2H) flux measurements, and the tightest when further adding the He flux. For the latter, the analysis of simulated and real data show an increased sensitivity to biases. Using secondary-to-primary ratio along with a loose prior on the source parameters is recommended to get the most robust constraints on the transport parameters.

description: Infrared transmission and electrical resistivity measurements reveal that single crystals of LaMnPO$_{1-x}$F$_{x}$ (x $\leq$ 0.28) are insulating. The optical gap obtained from transmission measurements is nearly unaffected by doping, decreasing only slightly from 1.3 eV in undoped LaMnPO to 1.1 eV for x = 0.04. The activation gaps obtained from electrical resistivity measurements are smaller by at least an order of magnitude, signalling the presence of states within the optical gap. At low temperatures, the resistivity is described well by variable range hopping conduction between these localized gap states. Analysis of the hopping conduction suggests that the gap states become slightly more delocalized with fluorine content, although metallic conduction is not observed even for fluorine concentrations as large as x = 0.28.

description: We develop a model to study the impact of corporate governance on firm investment decisions and industry competition. In the model, governance structure affects the distribution of shares among short- and long-term oriented investors, the robustness of the management regarding possible stockholder interference, and the managerial remuneration scheme. A bargaining process between firm’s stakeholders determines the optimal allocation of financial resources between real investments in R&D and financial investments in shares buybacks. We characterize the relation between corporate governance and firm’s optimal investment strategy and we study how different governance structures shape technical progress and the degree of competition over the industrial life cycle. Numerical simulations of a calibrated set-up of the model show that pooling together industries characterized by heterogeneous governance structures generate the well-documented inverted-U shaped relation between competition and innovation.
Interpretations of history and culture in Japanese- and Chinese-Canadian picturebooks : a new historical approach
Creators: name: Yamakami, Brenda Karen Akimi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study explores insider and outsider perspectives in a sample of Japanese- and Chinese-Canadian picturebooks: Little Fingerling (written by Monica Hughes and illustrated by Brenda Clark), West Coast Chinese Boy (written and illustrated by Sing Lim), Roses Sing on New Snow (written by Paul Yee and illustrated by Harvey Chan), Ghost Train (written by Paul Yee and illustrated by Harvey Chan), and Naomi's Tree (written by Joy Kogawa and illustrated by Ruth Ohi). Through the critical lenses of New Historicism, visual semiotics, and image-text interaction theories these selected works are examined for cultural and historical authenticity. The analysis concludes, overall, that insider perspectives are more authentic for these reasons: they better reflect the voices of the cultural groups they represent; they consider a broader range of philosophical and political beliefs towards history; they generate more intense reactions from readers and viewers: and they give power to people whose narratives have been suppressed in the past.

description: We have used a combination of broad-band near-infrared and optical Johnson-Cousins photometry to study the dust properties in the line of sight to the Galactic globular cluster M4. We have investigated the reddening effects in terms of absolute strength and variation across the cluster field, as well as the form of the reddening law defined by the type of dust. Here, we determine the ratio of absolute to selective extinction (R_V) in the line of sight towards M4, which is known to be a useful indicator for the type of dust and therefore characterizes the applicable reddening law. Our method is independent of age assumptions and appears to be significantly more precise and accurate than previous approaches. We obtain A_V/E(B-V)=3.76\pm0.07 (random error) for the dust in the line of sight to M4 for our set of filters. With this value, the distance to M4 is found to be 1.80\pm0.05 kpc (random error). A reddening map for M4 has been created, which reveals a spatial differential reddening of delta E(B-V)>0.2 mag across a field within 10' around the cluster centre and a total mean reddening of E(B-V)=0.37\pm0.01. In order to provide accurate zero points for the extinction coefficients of our photometric filters, we investigated the impact of stellar parameters such as temperature, surface gravity and metallicity on the extinction properties in different bandpasses. Using both synthetic ATLAS9 spectra and observed spectral energy distributions, we found similar sized effects for the range of temperature, surface gravity, and metallicity typical of globular cluster stars: each causes a change of about 3% in the necessary correction factor for each filter combination. From our calculations, we provide extinction zero points for Johnson-Cousins and 2MASS filters, spanning a wide range of stellar parameters and dust types, suited for accurate, object-specific extinction corrections.

description: Discussion of scholar papers published until June 29, 2020, on Ivermectin, and of news that we can find about its use for Covid-19. A list of clinical trials is also given. For what concerns scholar papers, we report among them a preprint posted on 10 June in MedRχiv, which concludes that Ivermectin was associated with lower mortality during treatment of Covid-19. From news, we consider in particular the case of Iquitos, capital city of the Loreto Region in Peru, where, by May 25, Covid-19 cases and deaths had dropped notably. The formulation of ivermectin used in Peru is also discussed, in particular that of the oral solution disclosed by the Peruvian Government.

description: We discuss finite temperature phase diagrams of SU(N) gauge theory with massless fermions as a function of the number of fermion flavors. Inside the conformal window we find a phase boundary separating two different conformal phases. Below the conformal window we find different phase structures depending on if the beta function of the theory has a first or higher order zero at the lower boundary of the conformal window. We also outline how the associated behaviors will help in distinguishing different types of theories using lattice simulations.

description: Integration is currently the only feasible route towards scalable photonic quantum processing devices that are sufficiently complex to be genuinely useful in computing, metrology, and simulation. Embedded on-chip detection will be critical to such devices. We demonstrate an integrated photon-number resolving detector, operating in the telecom band at 1550 nm, employing an evanescently coupled design that allows it to be placed at arbitrary locations within a planar circuit. Up to 5 photons are resolved in the guided optical mode via absorption from the evanescent field into a tungsten transition-edge sensor. The detection efficiency is 7.2 \pm 0.5 %. The polarization sensitivity of the detector is also demonstrated. Detailed modeling of device designs shows a clear and feasible route to reaching high detection efficiencies.

description: Radiocarbon dating is the gold standard in archeology to estimate the age of skeletons, a key to studying their origins. Many published ancient genomes lack reliable and direct dates, which results in obscure and contradictory reports. Here, we developed the Temporal Population Structure (TPS), the first DNA-based dating method for ancient genomes ranging from the Late Mesolithic to modern-days, and applied it to 3,591 ancient and 1,307 modern Eurasians. We show that TPS predictions align with their known dates and correctly account for kin relationships. TPS dating of poorly dated Eurasian samples resolved conflicting reports in the literature, as illustrated by one test case. We demonstrated how TPS improved the ability to study phenotypic traits over time.

title: Testing Three Measures of Verbal–Visual Frame Interplay in German News Coverage of Refugees and Asylum Seekers
Creators: name: Dan, Viorela
name: Grabe, Maria E.
name: Hale, Brent J.
Publisher: name: Sage
Year: 2020

description: Drawing from framing theory, this article operationalizes and tests three ways to measure how verbal and visual modalities interplay in audiovisual messages to produce meaning. The measures include (a) a ratio of verbal to visual frames; (b) an association rules learning (ARL) procedure; and (c) in-depth analysis of the full audiovisual material. As a step toward validating the measures, they were applied to a sample of German television news stories (n = 98) about refugees and asylum seekers. Though the three measures produced varied results, verbal–visual frame redundancy and congruence were consistently more common than mismatches. Measures differed in the level of effort required to implement them, sample sizes they could handle, and the informative value of results. Future studies are advised to combine the ARL procedure with an in-depth analysis.
Chiral condensate and Mott-Anderson freeze-out

description: We present the idea of a Mott-Anderson freeze-out that suggests a key role of the localization of the hadron wave functions when traversing the hadronization transition. The extension of hadron wave functions in dense matter is governed by the behavior of the chiral quark condensate such that its melting at finite temperatures and chemical potentials entails an increase of the size of hadrons and thus their geometrical strong interaction cross sections. It is demonstrated within a schematic resonance gas model, that a kinetic freeze-out condition reveals a correlation with the reduction of the chiral condensate in the phase diagram up to 50 % of its vacuum value. Generalizing the description of the chiral condensate by taking into account a full hadron resonance gas such correlation gets distorted. We discuss, that this may be due to our approximations in calculating the chiral condensate which disregard both, in-medium effects on hadron masses and hadron-hadron interactions. The latter, in particular due to quark exchange reactions, could lead to a delocalization of the hadron wave functions in accordance with the picture of a Mott-Anderson transition.

title: Improving the interface stability of cross-linked films by ink formulation in printed organic light emitting diodes
Creators: name: Hibon, Pauline
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2020

description: Interface control remains a top challenge of solution‐processed organic light emitting diodes (OLED) stacks since the device performance heavily relies on it. Film stability of an inkjet deposited and crosslinked layer against subsequent exposure to a suitable inkjet printed solvent has been investigated. Impact of processing solvent (solvent used to prepare the polymer layer) on solution‐cast thin film properties has already been shown for polymer films. This study is the first one analyzing thin films stability against solvent exposure using technology relevant materials processed via inkjet printing (IJP). The outcome of this research showed that the stability of the crosslinked films is affected by the solvent used for ink formulation. These findings are of great interest for multilayered semiconductors devices, such as OLEDs, field‐effect transistors and dye‐sensitized solar cells. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to quantify the efficiency of the polymer crosslinking reaction in pure powder and in thin films, as processed from different solvents. Crosslinking efficiency measured by DSC correlated well with the deformation induced by the solvent and observed on layer surfaces. The interaction in solution between polymer and solvent has also been evaluated to explain its impact on thin film stability against successive solvent printing.
