description: We derive an explicit expression for the quantum conductivity of a molecular wire containing a redox center, which is embedded in an electrochemical environment. The redox center interacts with the solvent, and the average over the solvent configurations is performed numerically. Explicit calculations have been performed for a chain of three atoms. When the redox center interacts strongly with neighboring electronic levels, the current-potential curves show interesting features like rectification, current plateaus and negative differential resistance. Electronic spectroscopy of intermediate states can be performed at constant small bias by varying the electrochemical potential of the wire.

description: The non-equilibrium thickness of lamellar crystals in semicrystalline polymers varies significantly between different polymer systems and depends on the crystallization temperature Tc. There is currently no consensus on the mechanism of thickness selection. Previous work has highlighted the decisive role of intracrystalline chain diffusion (ICD) in special cases, but a systematic dependence of lamellar thickness on relevant timescales such as that of ICD and stem attachment has not yet been established. Studying the morphology by small-angle X-ray scattering and the two timescales by NMR methods and polarization microscopy respectively, we here present data on poly(oxymethylene), a case with relatively slow ICD. It fills the gap between previously studied cases of absent and fast ICD, enabling us to establish a quantitative dependence of lamellar thickness on the competition between the noted timescales.
Can one improve the Froissart bound?

description: We explain why we hope that the Froissart bound can be improved, either qualitatively or, more likely, quantitatively, by making a better use of unitarity, in particular elastic unitarity. In other instances (Gribov's theorem) elastic unitarity played a crucial role. A preliminary requirement for this is to work with an appropriate average of the cross-section, to make the problem well defined. This is possible, without destroying the Lukaszuk--Martin bound.

title: Investigating the Expression of SYCP2 in HPV associated Cancers

description: High risk Human papillomavirus infections are linked to highly prevalent cancers; a consequence of aborted viral cycles and deregulation of HPV oncogenes E6 and E7. In many cases of cancer, meiotic genes can be seen upregulated, activation of meiotic genes in normal tissue can have detrimental effects due to the unique characteristics of gametogenesis that if observed in normal cells can be oncogenic. The gene of interest investigated in this project is SYCP2; it is a meiosis specific gene that is a part of the synaptonemal complex that links homologous chromosomes and facilitates synapsis. Recent studies showed it is strongly upregulated in HPV associated cancers when it’s normal expression should be restricted to testis, it has been linked to what is called Cancer Testis Antigens (CTA) which are a group of genes that has been associated to tumours of different histological origins whose normal expression is restricted to testes. This gene is of interest because CTAs hold unique therapeutic potential as biomarkers or immunotherapeutics. It has been documented that SYCP2 is upregulated, however, existing data thus far only shows the mRNA level. In order to explore any therapeutic potential of this gene its expression profile needs to be investigated, and its possible correlation to viral infection or oncogenesis. In this project we aim to investigate if the large increase in SYCP2 transcript levels in HPV16+ cancers is paralleled by a similar increase in SYCP2 protein levels. This study has looked into the protein expression of SYCP2 that if further investigated, could form a useful model in understanding HPV infection and the possible role SYCP2 has in aiding oncogenesis.

description: Repair and regeneration of a diseased lung with stem cells or bioengineered tissues is an exciting potential therapeutic approach for a variety of lung diseases and critical illnesses. Over the past decade, increasing evidence in preclinical models suggests that cells which are not normally resident in the lung can be utilized to modulate immune responses after injury, but there have been challenges in translating these promising findings to the clinic. In parallel, there has been a surge in bioengineering studies investigating the use of artificial and acellular lung matrices as scaffolds for three-dimensional lung or airway regeneration, with some recent attempts of transplantation in large animal models. The combination of these studies with those involving stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cell derivatives, and/or cell therapies is a promising and rapidly developing research area. These studies have been further paralleled by significant increases in our understanding of the molecular and cellular events by which endogenous lung stem and/or progenitor cells arise during lung development and participate in normal and pathologic remodeling after lung injury. For the 2023 Stem Cells, Cell Therapies, and Bioengineering in Lung Biology and Diseases Conference, scientific symposia were chosen to reflect the most cutting-edge advances in the field of stem cells, cell therapies, and bioengineering in lung biology and disease. Sessions focused on the integration of “-omics” technologies with function, the influence of immune cells on regeneration, and the role of the extracellular matrix in regeneration. The necessity for basic science studies to enhance fundamental understanding of lung regeneration and to design innovative translational studies was reiterated throughout the conference.
Plant community resistance, resilience, and recruitment in tidal freshwater marshes of the Salish Sea
Creators: name: Lane, Stefanie L.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Tidal freshwater marshes (TFMs) are found within estuaries where freshwater from outflowing rivers becomes mixed with saltwater from inflowing tides. These habitats are relatively rare owing to their limited spatial extent within estuaries, yet are of critical importance for ecosystem services to humans and habitat value to numerous species. Land use changes in the Pacific Northwest of North America have negatively impacted TFMs through persistent stressors such as altered hydrologic regimes which change habitat conditions, and introductions of non-native plant species which displace native plant species. In light of extant degradation and projected impacts under climate change, it is important to understand how the plant communities comprising TFM habitat respond to stressors in order to prevent or remediate habitat loss. This dissertation pairs observational studies of vegetation changes with experimental tests of seed recruitment to understand plant community resilience. In Chapter 2, I used three datasets spanning 40 years to assess plant community resistance to compositional changes, and found that species homogenization of distinct assemblages may be threatening biodiversity. In Chapter 3, I used historical restoration sites to assess plant community resilience following grazing disturbance, and found that non-native, invasive species competitively exclude native species recovery. In Chapter 4, I used a novel experimental mesocosm to estimate recruitment rate of five plant species in relation to tidal elevation/gradient. I found that successful germination is low overall, and each species’ germination rates are restricted to very specific tidal elevations. Together, these insights serve to inform conservation practice by providing case examples of plant community changes under different disturbance contexts. Additionally, understanding the species composition and abundance in seed banks is useful for generating new questions to test plant community response to disturbance. The prevalent conservation practice of setting aside land is often assumed to be sufficient to maintain native or ‘natural’ habitat. However, this research shows the potential for negative habitat changes occurring in TFM plant communities in the absence of management intervention. Practical interpretation of this dissertation highlights the urgency for active management of protected and restored habitats to improve plant community resilience, in the face of multiple stressors.

description: A graphene $pn$ junction is studied theoretically in the presence of both intrinsic and Rashba spin-orbit couplings. We show that a crossover from perfect reflection to perfect transmission is achieved at normal incidence by tuning the perpendicular electric field. By further studying angular dependent transmission, we demonstrate that perfect reflection at normal incidence can be clearly distinguished from trivial band gap effects. We also investigate how spin-orbit effects modify the conductance and the Fano factor associated with a potential step in both $nn$ and $np$ cases.

description: Patients treated with ticagrelor and aspirin usually suffer from bleeding events, especially mild bleeding which is one of the main factors reducing patients’ adherence to ticagrelor. The objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor combined with a lower dose of aspirin (50 mg) than that recommended by guidelines (75–100 mg). In this study, we prospectively enrolled 1220 patients who take ticagrelor in the hospital. After excluding the patients who did not take ticagrelor after discharge or lost to follow-up, the remaining 1066 patients were divided into two aspirin dose groups: 75–100 mg (n = 744) and 50 mg (n = 322). The rates of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), bleeding events and ticagrelor adherence were compared between the two groups. MACEs risk was not significantly different between the two groups (OR = 0.563, 95% CI: 0.244–1.300, P = .179). However, 50 mg aspirin was associated with a lower risk of any Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) bleeding events (OR = 0.605, 95% CI: 0.399–0.713, P = .001), also lower BARC bleeding events (OR = 0.639, 95% CI: 0.468–0.872, P = .005). Moreover, lower-dose aspirin was associated with a lower rate of ticagrelor withdrawal (OR = 0.459, 95% CI: 0.279–0.754, P = .002), mainly because of the decrease in ticagrelor withdrawal due to bleeding (OR = 0.378, 95% CI: 0.156–0.916, P = .031). After propensity score matching (PSM), a total of 317 patients in each group were matched. The MACEs composite was not significantly different between the two matched groups and 50 mg aspirin was associated with a lower risk of bleeding events and low ticagrelor withdrawal before and after multivariate adjustment. In conclusion, among patients who took ticagrelor (90 mg twice daily), 50 mg aspirin daily is associated with a lower rate of bleeding events and ticagrelor withdrawal but does not increase the MACE risk compared with 75–100 mg aspirin daily.

description: We present a reciprocal space technique for the calculation of the Coulomb integral in two dimensions in systems with reduced periodicity, i.e., finite systems, or systems that are periodic only in one dimension. The technique consists in cutting off the long-range part of the interaction by modifying the expression for the Coulomb operator in reciprocal space. The physical result amounts in an effective screening of the spurious interactions originated by the presence of ghost periodic replicas of the system. This work extends a previous report [C. A. Rozzi et al., Phys. Rev. B 73, 205119 (2006)], where three-dimensional systems were considered. We show that the use of the cutoffs dramatically enhances the accuracy of the calculations for a given supercell size, and it allows to describe two-dimensional systems of reduced periodicity with substantially less computational effort. In particular, we consider semiconductor quantum-dot arrays having potential applications in quantum information technology.

description: (abridged) As the favoured progenitors of long-duration gamma-ray bursts, massive stars may represent our best signposts of individual objects in the early Universe, but special conditions seem required to make these bursters, which might originate from the progenitor's rapid rotation and associated asymmetry. To obtain empirical constraints on the interplay between stellar rotation and wind asymmetry, we perform linear Halpha spectropolarimetry on a sample of 18 spectroscopically peculiar massive O stars, including OVz, Of?p, Oe, and Onfp stars, supplemented by an earlier sample of 20 O supergiants. Despite their rapid rotation (with vsin(i) up to 400 km/s) most O-type stars are found to be spherically symmetric, but with notable exceptions amongst specific object classes. We divide the peculiar O stars into four distinct categories: Groups III and IV include the Oe stars and Onfp stars, which are on the high-end tail of the O star rotation distribution and have in the past been claimed to be embedded in disks. Here we report the detection of a classical depolarization ``line effect'' in the Oe star HD 45314, but the overall incidence of line effects amongst Oe stars is significantly lower (1 out of 6) than amongst Be stars. The chance that the Oe and Be datasets are drawn from the same parent population is negligible (with 95% confidence). This implies there is as yet no evidence for a disk hypothesis in Oe stars, providing relevant constraints on the physical mechanism that is responsible for the Be phenomenon. Finally, we find that 3 out of 4 of the group IV Onfp stars show evidence for complex polarization effects, which are likely related to rapid rotation, and we speculate on the evolutionary links to B[e] stars.

description: We have obtained CCD UBVI_{KC} photometry down to V ~ 21.0 for the open clusters Berkeley 26, Czernik 27, Melotte 72, NGC 2479 and BH 37. The latter has never been studied before. Cluster stellar density profiles were obtained from star counts in appropriate-sized boxes distributed throughout the entire observed fields. Based on different measured indices, we estimate the ages of Berkeley 26, Melotte 72 and NGC 2479. On the other hand, we indicate possible solutions for the cluster fundamental parameters by matching theoretical isochrones which reasonably reproduce the main cluster features in their CMDs. In the case of NGC 2479, the cluster E(B-V) and E(V-I) colour excesses and apparent distance modulus were estimated from the fit of the Zero-Age Main Sequence (ZAMS) to the colour-colour and colour-magnitude diagrams, respectively.

description: In the last decade, a new kind of stellar systems has been established that shows properties in between those of globular clusters (GCs) and early-type dwarf galaxies. These so-called ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) have masses in the range 10^6 to 10^8 M_sun and half-light radii of 10-100 pc. The most massive UCDs known to date are predominantly metal-rich and reside in the cores of nearby galaxy clusters. The question arises whether UCDs are just the most massive globular clusters in rich globular cluster systems? Although UCDs and `normal' GCs form a continuous sequence in several parameter spaces, there seems to be a break in the scaling laws for stellar systems with masses above ~2.5x10^6 M_sun. Unlike GCs, UCDs follow a mass-size relation and their mass-to-light ratios are about twice as large as those of GCs with comparable metallicities. In this contribution, I present the properties of the brightest globular clusters and ultra-compact dwarf galaxies and discuss whether the observed findings are compatible with a `star-cluster' origin of UCDs or whether they are more likely related to dark matter dominated dwarf galaxies.

description: Bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) and its alloys are the best bulk thermoelectric materials known today. The stacked quasi-two-dimensional (2D) layers of Bi2Te3 were also identified as topological insulators. In this paper we describe a method for graphene-inspired exfoliation of crystalline bismuth telluride films with a thickness of a few atoms. The atomically thin films were suspended across trenches in Si/SiO2 substrates, and subjected to detail characterization. The presence of the van der Waals gaps allowed us to disassemble Bi2Te3 crystal into its quintuple building blocks - five mono-atomic sheets consisting of Te(1)-Bi-Te(2)-Bi-Te(1). By altering the thickness and sequence of atomic planes we were able to create designer non-stoichiometric quasi-2D crystalline films, change their composition and doping, as well as other properties. The exfoliated quintuples and ultra-thin films have low thermal conductivity, high electrical conductivity and enhanced thermoelectric properties. The obtained results pave the way for producing stacks of crystalline bismuth telluride quantum wells with the strong spatial confinement of charge carriers and acoustic phonons for thermoelectric devices. The developed technology for producing free-standing quasi-2D layers of Te(1)-Bi-Te(2)-Bi-Te(1) creates an impetus for investigation of the topological insulators and their possible practical applications.

description: Angiogenesis recapitulates the growth of blood vessels that progressively expand and remodel into a highly organized and stereotyped vascular network. During adulthood, endothelial cells that formed the vascular wall retain their plasticity and can be engaged in neo-vascularization in response to physiological stimuli, such as hypoxia, wound healing and tissue repair, ovarian cycle and pregnancy. In addition, numerous human diseases and pathological conditions are characterized by an excessive, uncontrolled and aberrant angiogenesis. The signalling pathways involving the small Rho GTPase, Rac and its downstream effector the p21-activated serine/threonine kinase (PAK) had recently emerged as pleiotropic modulators in these processes. Indeed, Rac and PAK were found to modulate endothelial cell biology, such as sprouting, migration, polarity, proliferation, lumen formation, and maturation. Elucidating the Rac/PAK molecular circuitry will provide essential information for the development of new therapeutic agents designed to normalize the blood vasculature in human diseases.

description: For a k-flat F inside a locally compact CAT(0)-space X, we identify various conditions that ensure that F bounds a (k+1)-dimensional half flat in X. Our conditions are formulated in terms of the ultralimit of X. As applications, we obtain (1) constraints on the behavior of quasi-isometries between tocally compact CAT(0)-spaces, (2) constraints on the possible non-positively curved Riemannian metrics supported by certain manifolds, and (3) a correspondence between metric splittings of a complete, simply connected, non-positively curved Riemannian manifold and the metric splittings of its asymptotic cones. Furthermore, combining our results with the Ballmann, Burns-Spatzier rigidity theorem and the classical Mostow rigidity theorem, we also obtain (4) a new proof of Gromov's rigidity theorem for higher rank locally symmetric spaces.
description: 21 pages. This article is a substantially improved version of our earlier preprint arXiv:0801.3636. It features more general results, with shorter, cleaner proofs. Applications remain the same

description: Developers express the meaning of the domain ideas in specifically selected identifiers and comments that form the target implemented code. Software maintenance requires knowledge and understanding of the encoded ideas. This paper presents a way how to create automatically domain vocabulary. Knowledge of domain vocabulary supports the comprehension of a specific domain for later code maintenance or evolution. We present experiments conducted in two selected domains: application servers and web frameworks. Knowledge of domain terms enables easy localization of chunks of code that belong to a certain term. We consider these chunks of code as "concepts" and their placement in the code as "concept location". Application developers may also benefit from the obtained domain terms. These terms are parts of speech that characterize a certain concept. Concepts are encoded in "classes" (OO paradigm) and the obtained vocabulary of terms supports the selection and the comprehension of the class' appropriate identifiers. We measured the following software products with our tool: JBoss, JOnAS, GlassFish, Tapestry, Google Web Toolkit and Echo2.
Variation of the subhalo abundance in dark matter halos

description: We analyzed the statistics of subhalo abundance of galaxy-sized and giant-galaxy-sized halos formed in a high-resolution cosmological simulation of a 46.5Mpc cube with the uniform mass resolution of $10^6 M_{\odot}$. We analyzed all halos with mass more than $1.5 \times 10^{12}M_{\odot}$ formed in this simulation box. The total number of halos was 125. We found that the subhalo abundance, measured by the number of subhalos with maximum rotation velocity larger than 10% of that of the parent halo, shows large halo-to-halo variations. The results of recent ultra-high-resolution runs fall within the variation of our samples. We found that the concentration parameter and the radius at the moment of the maximum expansion shows fairly tight correlation with the subhalo abundance. This correlation suggests that the variation of the subhalo abundance is at least partly due to the difference in the formation history. Halos formed earlier have smaller number of subhalos at present.

Measurement of the vertical non-uniformity of the plasma sheath in a complex plasma

description: Employing an attenuated oscillation method, the anisotropic interaction force between two vertically aligned dust particles located in the sheath of a complex plasma was measured experimentally based on a linear approximation to the interaction force. Experimental data shows that although both particles experience a repulsive interaction force, the upper particle experiences a stronger magnitude force than does the lower. This result can be explained by the ion wakefield since the lower particle resides within the ion wakefield generated by the streaming ions passing through the sheath and around the upper particle.

description: We study fully occupied lattice systems of classical magnetic dipoles which point along random axes. Only dipolar interactions are considered. From tempered Monte Carlo simulations, we obtain numerical evidence that supports the following conclusions: in three dimensions, (a) there is an equilibrium spin glass phase at temperatures below $T_c$, where $k_BT_c= (0.86\pm 0.07)\varepsilon_d $ and $\varepsilon_d$ is a nearest neighbor dipole-dipole interaction energy, (b) in the spin glass phase the overlap parameter is approximately given by $\sqrt{1-T/T_c}$, and (c) the correlation length $ξ$ diverges at $T_c$ with a critical exponent $ν=1.5\pm0.5$; in two dimensions $ξ$ diverges at or near T=0 and $ν=3\pm1$.

Time functions as utilities

Year: 2009

description: Every time function on spacetime gives a (continuous) total preordering of the spacetime events which respects the notion of causal precedence. The problem of the existence of a (semi-)time function on spacetime and the problem of recovering the causal structure starting from the set of time functions are studied. It is pointed out that these problems have an analog in the field of microeconomics known as utility theory. In a chronological spacetime the semi-time functions correspond to the utilities for the chronological relation, while in a K-causal (stably causal) spacetime the time functions correspond to the utilities for the K^+ relation (Seifert's relation). By exploiting this analogy, we are able to import some mathematical results, most notably Peleg's and Levin's theorems, to the spacetime framework. As a consequence, we prove that a K-causal (i.e. stably causal) spacetime admits a time function and that the time or temporal functions can be used to recover the K^+ (or Seifert) relation which indeed turns out to be the intersection of the time or temporal orderings. This result tells us in which circumstances it is possible to recover the chronological or causal relation starting from the set of time or temporal functions allowed by the spacetime. Moreover, it is proved that a chronological spacetime in which the closure of the causal relation is transitive (for instance a reflective spacetime) admits a semi-time function. Along the way a new proof avoiding smoothing techniques is given that the existence of a time function implies stable causality, and a new short proof of the equivalence between K-causality and stable causality is given which takes advantage of Levin's theorem and smoothing techniques.
