Role of fibroblasts in soft tissue biomechanics
Creators: name: Yip, Clare
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The aim of this project was to investigate the contribution of fibroblasts on the mechanical properties of the dermal connective tissue in rat skin. The research studied the effect of soaking, strairiing and/or poison on the viability of the fibroblasts and the stress relaxation of skin tissue. These studies were carried out for skin soaked in a physiological solution (Kreb's solution) with and without addition of a metabolic poison, 2-Deoxy-D-Glucose. Thirty male rats were used in the study and four strips of two by five centimeters skin were removed from the back of each rat. Skin samples were either soaked in Kreb's solution in the presence or absence of poison, or simultaneously soaked and strained in Kreb's solution in the presence or absence of poison. All tissues were fixed and processed for apoptosis assay and light microscopy. The viability study showed that straining of tissues soaked in Kreb's solution significantly increases the number of apoptotic cells, and it causes more apoptotic cells compared to just soaking in Kreb's solution. Straining the skin tissues causes the extracellular matrix and cytoplasmic contacts of the fibroblasts to become disconnected and allow the tissues to relax moreeasily. However, straining of tissues soaked in Kreb's solution with 2-Deoxy-D-Glucose do not significantly increase the number of apoptotic cells. Thus, the morphological results did not support the hypothesis that 2-Deoxy-D-Glucose kills all of the fibroblasts by apoptosis; however, it may kill the fibroblasts by inducing necrosis. Mechanical testing (straining) involved stress-relaxation for thirty seconds at a fixed strain (13%). Samples strained in Kreb's solution are found to have higher reduction in stress (i.e. stress relaxation) with more apoptotic fibroblasts and less non-apoptotic fibroblasts compared to samples strained in Kreb's solution with 2-Deoxy-D-Glucose. The difference in stress relaxation between the two treatments was found to correlate with the number of non-apoptotic and apoptotic fibroblasts in the samples. A direct linear relationship was observed between the stress relaxation differences and the ratios of apoptotic cells for the two treatments. Samples stretched in Kreb's solution exhibited greater relaxation and had more apoptotic fibroblasts compared to those stretched in Poison. There is an inverse relationship observed between the stress relaxation differences and the ratios of non-apoptotic cells for the two treatments. Samples stretched in Kreb's solution exhibited greater relaxation, but had less apoptotic fibroblasts compared to those stretched in Poison.

description: A possible formulation of chiral gauge theories with an anomalous fermion content is re-examined in light of the lattice framework based on the Ginsparg-Wilson relation. It is shown that the fermion sector of a wide class of anomalous non-abelian theories cannot consistently be formulated within this lattice framework. In particular, in 4 dimension, {\it all} anomalous non-abelian theories are included in this class. Anomalous abelian chiral gauge theories cannot be formulated with compact $\U(1)$ link variables, while a non-compact formulation is possible at least for the vacuum sector in the space of lattice gauge fields. Our conclusion is not applied to effective low-energy theories with an anomalous fermion content which are obtained from an underlying anomaly-free theory by sending the mass of some of fermions to infinity. For theories with an anomalous fermion content in which the anomaly is cancelled by the Green-Schwarz mechanism, a possibility of a consistent lattice formulation is not clear.

description: In a previous work we developed a search strategy for staus produced by the decay of the heavy CP-even Higgs boson $H$ within the context of the large $\tan\beta$ regime of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) in an scenario of large stau mixing. Here we study the performance of such search strategy by confronting it with the complementary mixing pattern in which decays of both the CP-even and CP-odd heavy Higgs bosons contribute to the production of $\widetilde{\tau}_1\widetilde{\tau}_2^{*} \;+\; c.c$ pairs. Again, we focus on final states with two opposite-sign tau leptons and large missing transverse energy. We find that our proposed search strategy, although optimized for the large stau mixing scenario, is still quite sensitive to the complementary mixing pattern. For instance, with a total integrated luminosity of only 100 fb$^{-1}$ we are able to exclude heavy Higgs masses above 850 GeV for average stau masses higher than 290 GeV. We also extend the results reported in the preceding work for the large mixing scenario by including now the exclusion limits at 100 fb$^{-1}$ and the prospects both for exclusion and discovery in a potential high luminosity phase of the LHC (1000 fb$^{-1}$). Finally, we discuss the possibility to distinguish the two mixing scenarios when they share the same relevant mass spectrum and both reach the discovery level with our search strategy.
Analysis of the Schwarz domain decomposition method for the conductor-like screening continuum model

description: We study the Schwarz overlapping domain decomposition method applied to the Poisson problem on a special family of domains, which by construction consist of a union of a large number of fixed-size subdomains. These domains are motivated by applications in computational chemistry where the subdomains consist of van der Waals balls. As is usual in the theory of domain decomposition methods, the rate of convergence of the Schwarz method is related to a stable subspace decomposition. We derive such a stable decomposition for this family of domains and analyze how the stability "constant" depends on relevant geometric properties of the domain. For this, we introduce new descriptors that are used to formalize the geometry for the family of domains. We show how, for an increasing number of subdomains, the rate of convergence of the Schwarz method depends on specific local geometry descriptors and on one global geometry descriptor. The analysis also naturally provides lower bounds in terms of the descriptors for the smallest eigenvalue of the Laplace eigenvalue problem for this family of domains.

description: Forests and timber are important natural resources in the state of Michigan. Forestlands make of 53% of the total land area and the forest related industry and manufacturing sector in Michigan generate approximately $12 billion to the state’s economy. Though forestry related industry and manufacturing is a multi-billion dollar industry that affects millions of acres of land in Michigan, there have been few recently published articles regarding timber stumpage appraisal in the state particularly about the northern hardwood forests. This paper uses a hedonic timber stumpage appraisal model to calculate stumpage value for state managed forests. The model uses data from Michigan Department of Natural Resources to estimate the affect of various parameters on the accepted bid of public timber sales. From our results we found there were certain parameters that were statistically significant in raising the final bid price of a sales and this may have implications for the management of state owned forest lands.

description: In seismic-prone regions, the evaluation of structural performance of bridges under mainshock-aftershock ground motion sequences is imperative for ensuring their safety and facilitating effective response measures. However, the limited availability of real-recorded mainshock-aftershock ground motion sequences for region-specific condition results in the adoption of artificially generated sequences for seismic fragility assessment of bridges. This study presents a new approach for the artificial generation of ground motion sequences by quantifying the relationship between parameters of real-recorded mainshock-aftershock sequences, while also considering regional seismicity. The proposed framework is employed to obtain a suite of region-specific mainshock-aftershock sequences for the Himalayan region, and is subsequently applied to a case-study bridge for vulnerability assessment. An experimentally validated bridge numerical model is developed to simulate the degradation caused by multiple cyclic loadings of mainshock-aftershock sequences. An optimal engineering demand parameter is identified to capture the cumulative damage under mainshock-aftershock sequences and seismic fragility curves are developed using incremental dynamic analysis-based approach. Results reveal a higher seismic fragility under ground motion sequences compared to mainshocks alone, with similar trends observed across different bridge geometries. Notably, the finding indicates a close match between the seismic fragility curves developed using mainshock-aftershock sequences selected through the proposed framework and those derived using real-recorded sequences.

description: We study the properties of the nucleon in highly asymmetric volumes where the spatial dimensions are small but the time dimension is large in comparison to the inverse pion mass. To facilitate power-counting at the level of Feynman diagrams, we introduce $ε^\prime$-power-counting which is a special case of Leutwyler's $δ$-power-counting. Pion zero-modes enter the $ε^\prime$-counting perturbatively, in contrast to both the $ε$- and $δ$-power-countings, since $m_q < q\bar{q}> V$ remains large. However, these modes are enhanced over those with non-zero momenta and enter at lower orders in the $ε^\prime$-expansion than they would in large volume chiral perturbation theory. We discuss an application of $ε^\prime$-counting by determining the nucleon mass, magnetic moment and axial matrix element at the first nontrivial order in the $ε^\prime$-expansion.

description: Preferences for food products are usually analysed employing multi-attributive Attitude Measurement, Conjoint Analysis and recently Discrete Choice Modelling approaches. From a theoretical point of view, Choice Modelling based on random utility theory (RUT) outperforms traditional Conjoint Analysis because of its microeconomic foundation. In this article, consumers' choice behaviour on ecologically produced sausages is analysed. A market experiment reveals brand specific reactions towards the 'Bio-Siegel', a German quality label for organic food introduced in 2002. It can also be shown that regular customers of organic food are much less price sensitive than occasional buyers.

description: We consider finite-state Markov chains that can be naturally decomposed into smaller ``projection'' and ``restriction'' chains. Possibly this decomposition will be inductive, in that the restriction chains will be smaller copies of the initial chain. We provide expressions for Poincare (resp. log-Sobolev) constants of the initial Markov chain in terms of Poincare (resp. log-Sobolev) constants of the projection and restriction chains, together with further a parameter. In the case of the Poincare constant, our bound is always at least as good as existing ones and, depending on the value of the extra parameter, may be much better. There appears to be no previously published decomposition result for the log-Sobolev constant. Our proofs are elementary and self-contained.

description: The Agenda 2000 and the Mid-Term Review introduced a complex combination of policy changes for beef and dairy. It is not clear to what extent the package will influence production decisions. This study proposes a simple method for incorporating the effect of direct payments into the analysis of cow herd response. Effective support prices are derived by adjusting the Agenda 2000 reductions in dairy and beef support prices to reflect the compensation given to farmers in terms of direct payments and premiums. Following the Mid-Term Review different assumptions are made with respect to the extent to which these payments are, or are perceived as being coupled to production. The effective prices obtained for Germany are used in a simulation model to assess the impact of the latest agricultural policy reforms on German milk and beef producers.

description: We introduce Gutzwiller conjugate gradient minimization (GCGM) theory, an ab initio quantum many-body theory for computing the ground-state properties of infinite systems. GCGM uses the Gutzwiller wave function but does not use the commonly adopted Gutzwiller approximation (GA), which is a major source of inaccuracy. Instead, the theory uses an approximation that is based on the occupation probability of the on-site configurations, rather than approximations that decouple the site-site correlations as used in the GA. We test the theory in the one-dimensional and two-dimensional Hubbard models at various electron densities and find that GCGM reproduces energies and double occupancies in reasonable agreement with benchmark data at a very small computational cost.

description: We develop a agricultural model assuming that conventional production is causing environmental externalities while more benign alternative production methods generate non-market amenity benefits and obtain a price premium in the marketplace. We analyze policies targeting external benefits and costs to capture interaction effects: polluting input taxes reduce the returns and subsidies needed to induce more benign production. Thus, it is only optimal to subsidize if the additional marginal amenity benefit exceeds the marginal external cost reductions due to the input tax. Terms of trade effects imply that large (land abundant) exporters have strategic incentives to overvalue external costs while large (land scarce) importers have strategic incentives to overrate non-market benefits. The model may serve to explain principal negotiating positions of major players within the WTO agriculture-environment sphere.

description: In the context of reverse mathematics, effective transfinite recursion refers to a principle that allows us to construct sequences of sets by recursion along arbitrary well orders, provided that each set is $Δ^0_1$-definable relative to the previous stages of the recursion. It is known that this principle is provable in $\mathbf{ACA}_0$. In the present note, we argue that a common formulation of effective transfinite recursion is too restrictive. We then propose a more liberal formulation, which appears very natural and is still provable in $\mathbf{ACA}_0$.

description: The near-maximum spectra of the Type Ia SN 1999ee are reviewed. Two narrow absorption features corresponding to the strongest component of the CaII IR triplet appear in the spectra from 7 days before to 2 days after B-band maximum, at a high velocity (~22,000 km/s). Before these features emerge, the CaII IR triplet has an anomalously high velocity, indicating that the narrow features were still blended with the main, photospheric component. High-velocity CaII absorption has been observed in other SNe Ia, but usually detached from the photospheric component. Furthermore, the SiII 6355A line is observed at a comparably high velocity (~20,000 km/s) 9 and 7 days before B maximum, but then it suddenly shifts to much lower velocities. Synthetic spectra are used to reproduce the data under various scenarios. An abundance enhancement requires an outer region dominated by Si and Ca, the origin of which is not easy to explain in terms of nuclear burning. A density enhancement leads to a good reproduction of the spectral evolution if a mass of ~0.10 Msun is added at velocities between 16,000 and 28,000 km/s, and it may result from a perturbation, possibly angular, of the explosion. An improved match to the CaII IR triplet at the earliest epoch can be obtained if the outermost part of this modified density profile is assumed to be dominated by H (~0.004 Msun above 24,000 km/s). Line broadening is then the result of increased electron scattering. This H may be the result of interaction between the ejecta and circumstellar material.

Modelling oxygen delignification in pulp processing operations
Creators: name: Susilo, Jacky
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A mathematical model of oxygen delignification for pulp processing operations has been developed to predict the kappa number (lignin content) and pulp strength (CED viscosity) as a function of system operation variables. The model incorporates a set of appropriate chemical reaction kinetics chosen from those available in the literature and gas-liquid mass transfer resistances for pulp suspension mixing and pulp suspension flow through retention towers as measured in our laboratory. This thesis reviews the available kinetic and mass transfer data incorporated in the model and discusses several important issues related to model development and interpretation, including kappa number measurement, the molecular size distribution of the lignin remaining in the pulp and lignin leaching from the fibre. The model is compared with laboratory experimental data from several sources as well an industrial oxygen delignification system.

This hypothesis is backed by non-parametric time-series analysis for Switzerland and Germany. This creates a theoretical basis for combining Positive Mathematical Programming with flexibility constraints in optimization models. Results of the forecasting model SILAS show that forecasting quality is improved through this approach.

description: As a consequence of the negotiations for a new agricultural policy of the EU the multifunctionality of agricultural production has come into new prominence in the public. The philosophy that subsidies for the agricultural sector should be calculated not only by agricultural market production but also according to agricultural noncommodity production like e.g. the conservation of the countryside, makes it necessary to assess the social value of this part of agricultural production. In this paper we scrutinize the welfare theoretical background of the economic valuation of non-market production as well as the existing practical valuation techniques. Further, the applicability of these techniques to the valuation of agricultural noncommodity production is considered.

description: We introduce the notion of distributed quantum dense coding, i.e. the generalization of quantum dense coding to more than one sender and more than one receiver. We show that global operations (as compared to local operations) of the senders do not increase the information transfer capacity, in the case of a single receiver. For the case of two receivers, using local operations and classical communication, a non-trivial upper bound for the capacity is derived. We propose a general classification scheme of quantum states according to their usefulness for dense coding. In the bipartite case (for any dimensions), bound entanglement is not useful for this task.

description: The precautionary principle (PP) applied to environmental policy stipulates that, in the presence of uncertainty, society must take robust preventive action to guard against worst-case outcomes. It follows that the higher the degree of uncertainty, the more aggressive this preventive action should be. This normative maxim is explored in the case of a stylized dynamic model of pollution control with uncertain (in the Knightian sense) stock dynamics, using the robust control framework of Hansen and Sargent [12]. Optimal investment in damage control is found to be increasing in the degree of uncertainty, thus confirming the conventional PP wisdom. Optimal mitigation decisions, however, need not always comport with the PP. In particular, when damage-control investment is both sufficiently cheap and sensitive to changes in uncertainty, damage-control investment and mitigation may act as substitutes and a PP with respect to the latter can be unambiguously irrational. The theoretical results are consequently applied to a linear-quadratic model of climate change calibrated by Karp and Zhang [20]. The analysis suggests that a reversal of the PP with respect to mitigation, while theoretically possible, is very unlikely.

description: In this paper, we test the weak cosmic censorship conjecture (WCCC) for the Reissner-Nordström-de Sitter (RN-dS) black hole surrounded by perfect fluid dark matter. We consider a spherically symmetric perturbation on deriving linear and non-linear order perturbation inequalities by applying new version of gedanken experiments well accepted from the work of Sorce and Wald. Contrary to the well-known result that the Reissner-Nordström (RN) black hole could be overcharged under linear order particle accretion it is hereby shown that the same black hole in perfect fluid dark matter with cosmological parameter cannot be overcharged. Considering a realistic scenario in which black holes can not be considered to be in vacuum we investigate the contribution of dark matter and cosmological constant in the overcharging process of an electrically charged black hole. We demonstrate that the black hole can be overcharged only when two fields induced by dark matter and cosmological parameter are completely balanced. Further we give a remarkable result that black hole cannot be overcharged beyond a certain threshold limit for which the effect arising from the cosmological constant dominates over the effect by the perfect fluid dark matter. Thus even for linear accretion process, the black hole cannot always be overcharged and hence obeys the WCCC in general. This result would continues be fulfilled for non-linear order accretion.

description: This study uses the EU public power generating sector as a case study to investigate the environmental efficiency and productivity enhancing performance of the European Union’s CO2 Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) in its pilot phase. Using Data Envelopment Analysis methods, we measure the environmental efficiency and the productivity growth registered in public power generation across the EU over the 1996-2007 period. In the second stage of our analysis we attempt to explain changes in productivity and efficiency over time using state-of-the-art econometric techniques. Our analysis suggests two conclusions: on the one hand carbon pricing led to an increase in environmental efficiency and to a shift outwards of the technological frontier; on the other hand, the overly generous allocation of emission permits had a negative impact on both measures. These results are shown to be robust to changes in controls and specifications.

description: This paper investigates the drivers of the environmental innovations (EI) introduced by firms in local production systems (LPS). The role of firm network relationships, agglomeration economies and internationalization strategies is analysed for a sample of 555 firms in the Emilia-Romagna region, North-East of Italy. Cooperating with ‘qualified’ local actors – i.e. universities and suppliers – is the most important driver of EI for most firms, along with their training policies and IT innovations. The role of agglomeration economies is less clear and seems to depend on the EI propensity of more locally oriented firms playing in district areas, which might even turn agglomeration into dis-economies. Networking effects and agglomeration economies are instead found to strongly promote the adoption of EI by multinational firms, thus highlighting the importance of local-global interactions. We provide some interesting findings for particular kinds of challenging EI in fields as CO2 abatement and ISO labelling, generally extending the analysis EI driver by joining local and international factors.

description: The feasibility of a CLIC-LHC based FEL-nucleus collider is investigated. It is shown that the proposed scheme satisfies all requirements of an ideal photon source for the Nuclear Resonance Fluorescence method. The tunability, monochromaticity and high polarization of the FEL beam together with high statistics and huge energy of LHC nucleus beams will give an unique opportunity to determine different characteristics of excited nuclear levels. The physics potential of the proposed collider is illustrated for a beam of Pb nuclei.

description: Liquid crystal elastomers and glasses can have significant shape change determined by their director patterns. Cones deformed from circular director patterns have non-trivial Gaussian curvature localised at tips, curved interfaces, and intersections of interfaces. We employ a generalised metric compatibility condition to characterize two families of interfaces between circular director patterns -- hyperbolic and elliptical interfaces, and find that the deformed interfaces are geometrically compatible. We focus on hyperbolic interfaces to design complex topographies and non-isometric origami, including n-fold intersections, symmetric and irregular tilings. The large design space of three-fold and four-fold tiling is utilized to quantitatively inverse design an array of pixels to display target images. Taken together, our findings provide comprehensive design principles for the design of actuators, displays, and soft robotics in liquid crystal elastomers and glasses.

Hazardous Activities and Civil Strict Liability: The Regulator’s Dilemma

description: This paper addresses the conditions for setting up strict civil liability schemes. For that it compares the social efficiency of two main civil liability regimes usually enforced to protect the environment: the strict liability regime and the “capped strict liability scheme”. First, it shows that the regulator faces an effective dilemma when he has to enforce one of these schemes. This because the social cost of a severe harm (and the associated optimum care effort) is determined independently of any liability regime. This independency has economic consequences. First, victims and polluters pit one against another about the liability regime that the government should enforce. Hence, financially constrained polluters prefer the ceiling of responsibilities while victims wish to extend the amount of redress under a “standard” strict liability. Economic criteria for enforcing a regime rather than another one are lacking. Second, the paper shows that implementing civil strict liability rules may be done by setting up care standards as for instance in the nuclear or the maritime sectors and demanding to the injurers to comply with them. We show that this goal can be achieved by resorting to some friendly monitoring corresponding to frequent random controls with low fines rather than few controls that should involve heavy fines.

description: We discuss the role of the notion of information in the description of physical reality. We consider theories for which dynamics is linear with respect to stochastic mixing. We point out that the no-cloning and no-deleting principles emerge in any such theory, if law of conservation of information is valid, and two copies contain more information than one copy. We then describe the quantum case from this point of view.
