description: Density functional theory (DFT) modeling of the physisorption of four different types of molecules (toluene, bromine dimmer, water and nitrogen dioxide) over and above graphene ripples has been performed. For all types of molecules changes of charge transfer and binding energies in respect to flat graphene is found. The changes in electronic structure of corrugated graphene and turn of π-orbitals of carbon atoms in combination with chemical structure of adsorbed molecules are proposed as the causes of difference with the perfect graphene case and variety of adsorption properties of different types of the molecules. Results of calculation suggest that the tops of the ripples are more attractive for large molecules and valley between ripples for small molecules. Stability of molecules on the ripples and energy barriers for migration over flat and corrugated graphene is also discussed.

description: We discuss the possibility of the non-one-neutron emission channels in the cold fusion reaction $^{70}$Zn + $^{209}$Bi to produce the element Z=113. For this purpose, we calculate the evaporation-residue cross sections of one-proton, radiative-capture, and two-neutron emissions relative to the one-neutron emission in the reaction $^{70}$Zn + $^{209}$Bi. To estimate the upper bounds of those quantities, we vary model parameters in the calculations, such as the level-density parameter and the height of the fission barrier. We conclude that the highest possibility is for the 2n reaction channel, and its upper bounds are 2.4$%$ and at most less than 7.9% with unrealistic parameter values, under the actual experimental conditions of [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. {\bf 73} (2004) 2593].

Gene expression and mutation profiles define novel subclasses of cytogenetically normal acute myeloid leukemia
Creators: name: Pilsworth, Jessica
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a genetically heterogeneous disease characterized by the accumulation of acquired somatic genetic abnormalities in hematopoietic progenitor cells. Recurrent chromosomal rearrangements are well-established diagnostic and prognostic markers. However, approximately 50% of AML cases have normal cytogenetics and have variable responses to conventional chemotherapy. Molecular markers have been begun to subdivide cytogenetically normal AML (CN-AML) and have been shown to predict clinical outcome. Despite these achievements, current classification schemes are not completely accurate and improved risk stratification is required. My overall objective was to identify specific gene expression and mutation signatures to define novel subclasses of CN-AML. I hypothesized that CN-AML would be separated into at least two or more subgroups. Gene expression and mutational profiles were established using RNA-Sequencing, clustering, de novo transcriptome assembly, and variant detection. I found the CN-AML could be separated into three groups, two of which had statistically significant survival differences (Kaplan-Meier analysis, log-rank test, p=9.75x10-³). Variant analysis revealed nine fusions that are not detectable via cytogenetic analysis and differential expression analysis identified a set of discriminatory genes to classify each subgroup. These findings contribute to the current understanding of the genetic complexity of AML and highlight gene fusion candidates for follow-up functional analyses.

description: In communication systems, efficient use of the spectrum is an indispensable concern. Recently the use of compressed sensing for the purpose of estimating Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) sparse multipath channels has been proposed to decrease the transmitted overhead in form of the pilot subcarriers which are essential for channel estimation. In this paper, we investigate the problem of deterministic pilot allocation in OFDM systems. The method is based on minimizing the coherence of the submatrix of the unitary Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) matrix associated with the pilot subcarriers. Unlike the usual case of equidistant pilot subcarriers, we show that non-uniform patterns based on cyclic difference sets are optimal. In cases where there are no difference sets, we perform a greedy search method for finding a suboptimal solution. We also investigate the performance of the recovery methods such as Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) and Iterative Method with Adaptive Thresholding (IMAT) for estimation of the channel taps.

Biomarkers for acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Creators: name: Chen, Roy Yu-Wei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Rationale: There are currently no generally accepted and validated blood tests available for diagnosing acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). There is an urgent need of biomarkers that can guide therapeutic management in AECOPD. Based on literature review, systemic inflammation and mild cardiac dysfunction are often associated with AECOPD. We hypothesized that certain protein markers can indeed be useful in tracking and diagnosing AECOPD progression. Methods: The study cohort consisted of 368 patients recruited in the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) Rapid Transition Program who were hospitalized with a primary diagnosis of AECOPD, and 76 stable COPD patients who served as controls. We first determined the relationship of AECOPD of C-reactive protein (CRP) and the N-terminal of the prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). We then performed a discriminatory analysis using receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) curve in a logistic regression model. We compared the area under the curve (AUC) of 4 different combinations of CRP and NT-proBNP models. Lastly, we examined several potential biomarkers that were implicated in AECOPD. Results: The demographic data of the cohort and the controls were well matched, with an average age of 68 versus 65 years old, 64% versus 77% male, and a forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) % predicted of 52% versus 58%. The CRP and NT-proBNP levels at exacerbation onset were found to be the highest and progressively decreased over time. Of the 4 models of ROC curves, the leave-one-out cross-validated model including both CRP and NT-proBNP had an AUC of 0.80. This model replicated well in an external LEUKO dataset. On the ii other hand, D-Dimer, pulmonary and activation-regulated chemokine (PARC) and troponin I, showed minimal or no temporal changes during hospitalization and were no different than those with stable COPD. Conclusions: In summary, this thesis demonstrated that biomarkers such as CRP and NT-proBNP are significantly elevated during AECOPD and decreased with recovery. Secondly, a combination of CRP and NT-proBNP could discriminate patients who were hospitalized for their AECOPD from stable patients. Together, these two biomarkers show promise in diagnosing and tracking AECOPD.

description: It is still a matter of debate to understand the equation of state of cold supra-nuclear matter in compact stars because of unknown on-perturbative strong interaction between quarks. Nevertheless, it is speculated from an astrophysical view point that quark clusters could form in cold quark matter due to strong coupling at realistic baryon densities. Although it is hard to calculate this conjectured matter from first principles, one can expect the inter-cluster interaction to share some general features to nucleon-nucleon interaction. We adopt a two-Gaussian component soft-core potential with these general features and show that quark clusters can form stable simple cubic crystal structure if we assume Gaussian form wave function. With this parameterizing, Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation is solved with reasonable constrained parameter space to give mass-radius relation of crystalline solid quark star. With baryon densities truncated at 2 times nuclear density at surface and range of interaction fixed at 2fm we can reproduce similar mass-radius relation to that obtained with bag model equations of state. The maximum mass ranges from about 0.5 to 3 solar mass. Observed maximum pulsar mass (about 2 solar mass) is then used to constrain parameters of this simple interaction potential.

description: With the advent of infrared long-baseline interferometers with more than two telescopes, both the size and the completeness of interferometric data sets have significantly increased, allowing images based on models with no a priori assumptions to be reconstructed. Our main objective is to analyze the multiple parameters of the image reconstruction process with particular attention to the regularization term and the study of their behavior in different situations. The secondary goal is to derive practical rules for the users. Using the Multi-aperture image Reconstruction Algorithm (MiRA), we performed multiple systematic tests, analyzing 11 regularization terms commonly used. The tests are made on different astrophysical objects, different (u,v) plane coverages and several signal-to-noise ratios to determine the minimal configuration needed to reconstruct an image. We establish a methodology and we introduce the mean-square errors (MSE) to discuss the results. From the ~24000 simulations performed for the benchmarking of image reconstruction with MiRA, we are able to classify the different regularizations in the context of the observations. We find typical values of the regularization weight. A minimal (u,v) coverage is required to reconstruct an acceptable image, whereas no limits are found for the studied values of the signal-to-noise ratio. We also show that super-resolution can be achieved with increasing performance with the (u,v) coverage filling. Using image reconstruction with a sufficient (u,v) coverage is shown to be reliable. The choice of the main parameters of the reconstruction is tightly constrained. We recommend that efforts to develop interferometric infrastructures should first concentrate on the number of telescopes to combine, and secondly on improving the accuracy and sensitivity of the arrays.

According to Chen (1950) the Formosan P. dorothea Williamson (1904) should be treated as a local race of P. mandarinus MacLachlan which is found in South China and northern Formosa. It seems, therefore, to be reasonable to place kuroiwae Oguma as another subspecies of mandarinus as Chen supposed.

description: Entanglement is the essential quantum resource for a potential speed-up of information processing, as well as for sophisticated quantum communication. Quantum information networks will be required to convey information from one place to another, by using entangled light beams. Many physical systems are under consideration as building blocks, with different merits and faults, so that hybrid systems are likely to be developed. Here we present an important tool for connecting systems that share no common resonance frequencies: we demonstrate the first direct generation of entanglement among more than two bright beams of light, all of different wavelengths (532.251 nm, 1062.102 nm, and 1066.915 nm). We also observe, for the first time, disentanglement for finite channel losses, the continuous variable counterpart to entanglement sudden death.

description: The angular, temperature and magnetic field dependences of Hall resistance roH for the rare-earth dodecaboride solid solutions Tm1-xYbxB12 have been studied in a wide vicinity of the quantum critical point (QCP) xC~0.3. The measurements performed in the temperature range 1.9-300 K on high quality single crystals allowed to find out for the first time in these fcc compounds both an appearance of the second harmonic contribution in ro2H at QCP and its enhancement under the Tm to ytterbium substitution and/or with increase of external magnetic field. When the Yb concentration x increases a negative maximum of a significant amplitude was shown to appear on the temperature dependences of Hall coefficient RH(T) for the Tm1-xYbxB12 compounds. Moreover, a complicated activation type behavior of the Hall coefficient is observed at intermediate temperatures for x>0.5 with activation energies Eg~200K and Ea~55-75K in combination with the sign inversion of RH(T) at low temperatures in the coherent regime. The density of states renormalization effects are analyzed within the variation of Yb concentration and the features of the charge transport in various regimes (charge gap formation, intra-gap manybody resonance and coherent regime) are discussed in detail in Tm1-xYbxB12 solid solutions.

description: Prediction markets show considerable promise for developing flexible mechanisms for machine learning. Here, machine learning markets for multivariate systems are defined, and a utility-based framework is established for their analysis. This differs from the usual approach of defining static betting functions. It is shown that such markets can implement model combination methods used in machine learning, such as product of expert and mixture of expert approaches as equilibrium pricing models, by varying agent utility functions. They can also implement models composed of local potentials, and message passing methods. Prediction markets also allow for more flexible combinations, by combining multiple different utility functions. Conversely, the market mechanisms implement inference in the relevant probabilistic models. This means that market mechanism can be utilized for implementing parallelized model building and inference for probabilistic modelling.

description: Higgs boson production in association with a hard central photon and two forward tagging jets is expected to provide valuable information on Higgs boson couplings in a range where it is difficult to disentangle weak-boson fusion processes from large QCD backgrounds. We present next-to-leading order QCD corrections to Higgs production in association with a photon via weak-boson fusion at a hadron collider in the form of a flexible parton-level Monte Carlo program. The QCD corrections to integrated cross sections are found to be small for experimentally relevant selection cuts, while the shape of kinematic distributions can be distorted by up to 20% in some regions of phase space. Residual scale uncertainties at next-to-leading order are at the few-percent level.

description: We propose a high efficiency tomographic scheme to reconstruct an unknown quantum state of the qubits by using a series of quantum nondemolition (QND) measurements. The proposed QND measurements of the qubits are implemented by probing the the stationary transmissions of the dispersively-coupled resonator. It is shown that only one kind of QND measurements is sufficient to determine all the diagonal elements of the density matrix of the detected quantum state. The remaining non-diagonal elements of the density matrix can be determined by other spectral measurements by beforehand transferring them to the diagonal locations using a series of unitary operations. Compared with the pervious tomographic reconstructions based on the usual destructively projective (DP) measurements (wherein one kind of such measurements could only determine one diagonal element of the density matrix), the present approach exhibits significantly high efficiency for N-qubit (N > 1). Specifically, our generic proposal is demonstrated by the experimental circuit-quantumelectrodynamics (circuit-QED) systems with a few Josephson charge qubits.

description: How do we lose and regain consciousness? The space between healthy wakefulness and unconsciousness encompasses a series of gradual and rapid changes in brain activity. In this thesis, I investigate computational measures applicable to the electroencephalogram to quantify the loss and recovery of consciousness from the perspective of modern theoretical frameworks. I examine three different transitions of consciousness caused by natural, pharmacological and pathological factors: sleep, sedation and coma. First, I investigate the neural dynamics of falling asleep. By combining the established methods of phase-lag brain connectivity and EEG microstates in a group of healthy subjects, a unique microstate is identified, whose increased duration predicts behavioural unresponsiveness to auditory stimuli during drowsiness. This microstate also uniquely captures an increase in frontoparietal theta connectivity, a putative marker of the loss of consciousness prior to sleep onset. I next examine the loss of behavioural responsiveness in healthy subjects undergoing mild and moderate sedation. The Lempel-Ziv compression algorithm is employed to compute signal complexity and symbolic mutual information to assess information integration. An intriguing dissociation between responsiveness and drug level in blood during sedation is revealed: responsiveness is best predicted by the temporal complexity of the signal at single- channel and low-frequency integration, whereas drug level is best predicted by the complexity of spatial patterns and high-frequency integration. Finally, I investigate brain connectivity in the overnight EEG recordings of a group of patients in acute coma. Graph theory is applied on alpha, theta and delta networks to find that increased variability in delta network integration early after injury predicts the eventual coma recovery score. A case study is also described where the re-emergence of frontoparietal connectivity predicted a full recovery long before behavioural improvement. The findings of this thesis inform prospective clinical applications for tracking states of consciousness and advance our understanding of the slow and fast brain dynamics underlying its transitions. Collating these findings under a common theoretical framework, I argue that the diversity of dynamical states, in particular in temporal domain, and information integration across brain networks are fundamental in sustaining consciousness.

description: We derive the effects of a non-zero cosmological constant $Λ$ on gravitational wave propagation in the linearized approximation of general relativity. In this approximation we consider the situation where the metric can be written as $g_{μν}= η_{μν}+ h_{μν}^Λ+ h_{μν}^W$, $h_{μν}^{Λ,W}<< 1$, where $h_{μν}^Λ$ is the background perturbation and $h_{μν}^{W}$ is a modification interpretable as a gravitational wave. For $Λ\neq 0$ this linearization of Einstein equations is self-consistent only in certain coordinate systems. The cosmological Friedmann-Robertson-Walker coordinates do not belong to this class and the derived linearized solutions have to be reinterpreted in a coordinate system that is homogeneous and isotropic to make contact with observations. Plane waves in the linear theory acquire modifications of order $\sqrtΛ$, both in the amplitude and the phase, when considered in FRW coordinates. In the linearization process for $h_{μν}$, we have also included terms of order $\mathcal{O}(Λh_{μν})$. For the background perturbation $h_{μν}^Λ$ the difference is very small but when the term $h_{μν}^{W}Λ$ is retained the equations of motion can be interpreted as describing massive spin-2 particles. However, the extra degrees of freedom can be approximately gauged away, coupling to matter sources with a strength proportional to the cosmological constant itself. Finally we discuss the viability of detecting the modifications caused by the cosmological constant on the amplitude and phase of gravitational waves. In some cases the distortion with respect to gravitational waves propagating in Minkowski space-time is considerable. The effect of $Λ$ could have a detectable impact on pulsar timing arrays.

Stability analysis and stabilization of unstructured finite volume method
Creators: name: Chen, Liang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: In this thesis, we develop a stability analysis model for the unstructured finite volume method. This model employs the matrix method to implement stability analysis. For the full discretization, where the temporal discretization employs backward Euler time-stepping, a linearization is used to construct the model. Both for the full discretization and semi-discretization, the stability condition is expressed in terms of eigenvalues. The validity of the stability analysis model is verified for linear cases and nonlinear cases. The analysis in this thesis also explains the phenomena that the defined energy can locally increase in the energy stability analysis method. This model can be applied to both linear problems and nonlinear problems; in this thesis, we focus on the 2D Euler equations. We also develop a stabilization methodology. This methodology is aimed at optimizing the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix by changing the coordinates of interior vertices of a mesh. Specifically, for an unstable spatial discretization, we can shift the unstable eigenvalues into stability region by changing the mesh. The stabilization methodology is verified by numerical cases as well. The success of this stabilization relies on a developed method to change the eigenvalues of a matrix in a quantitative and controllable way. This method is a general approach to optimize the eigenvalues of a matrix, which means it can be applied to other systems as well.

description: Subtle quantum properties offer exciting new prospects in optical communications. Quantum entanglement enables the secure exchange of cryptographic keys and the distribution of quantum information by teleportation. Entangled bright beams of light attract increasing interest for such tasks, since they enable the employment of well-established classical communications techniques. However, quantum resources are fragile and undergo decoherence by interaction with the environment. The unavoidable losses in the communication channel can lead to a complete destruction of useful quantum properties -- the so-called "entanglement sudden death". We investigate the precise conditions under which this phenomenon takes place for the simplest case of two light beams and demonstrate how to produce states which are robust against losses. Our study sheds new light on the intriguing properties of quantum entanglement and how they may be tamed for future applications.

This species was originally described from three specimens (1 ♂ Nayoro, Hokkaido; 1 ♂ Komaba, Tokyo; 1 ♀ Kagoshima, Kyusyu), but at present there is the single specimen (lectotype) in the collection. This and the Komaba-specimen which I examined in 1935 are actually the same with G. melampus Selys (1869), hence unifasciatus Oguma should be suppressed as a synonym of it. I also ascertained in 1935 that the female of unifasciatus Oguma is an entirely different species, which is now treated as Trigomphus citimus tabei Asahina (1949).

description: The bands of graphite are extremely sensitive to topological defects which modify the electronic structure. In this paper we found non-dispersive flat bands no farther than 10 meV of the Fermi energy in slightly twisted bilayer graphene as a signature of a transition from a parabolic dispersion of bilayer graphene to the characteristic linear dispersion of graphene. This transition occurs for relative rotation angles of layers around $1.5^o$ and is related to a process of layer decoupling. We have performed ab-initio calculations to develop a tight binding model with an interaction Hamiltonian between layers that includes the $π$ orbitals of all atoms and takes into account interactions up to third nearest-neighbors within a layer.

description: We report the experimental demonstration of optomechanical light storage in a silica resonator. We use writing and readout laser pulses tuned to one mechanical frequency below an optical cavity resonance to control the coupling between the mechanical displacement and the optical field at the cavity resonance. The writing pulse maps a signal pulse at the cavity resonance to a mechanical excitation. The readout pulse later converts the mechanical excitation back to an optical pulse. The light storage lifetime is determined by the relatively long damping time of the mechanical excitation.
Sex, gender and health promotion : assessing the potential for health promotion interventions to address health and gender inequities
Creators: name: Pederson, Ann Patricia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: As a field, health promotion has largely ignored how sex and gender contribute to one’s capacity to increase control over and improve one’s health—the very essence of health promotion. This dissertation urges health promoters to adopt an intersectional view of sex and gender as determinants of health and to develop interventions with explicit attention to improving gender equity. Doing so positions health promotion to improve social as well as health outcomes. To develop this argument, I use intersectional theory to inform: an historical account of the development of health promotion and documentary review of key health promotion charters; an overview of reviews of interventions to increase physical activity, reduce smoking, and limit alcohol consumption among women; and a qualitative study of older women’s involvement in physical activity. Using criteria for gender-sensitive interventions articulated by the World Health Organization, the overview of reviews suggests that, to date, programs to address women’s physical activity and substance use are more likely to be gender-specific—aimed at women—than to be gender-sensitive. Building on this limited range of health promotion programs, I outline a conceptual framework to illustrate that health promotion could reduce gender-related health inequities by transforming gender-related norms, roles, and relations. I illustrate the need for and possibilities of such a framework with examples of social marketing messages directed at women and girls. I then present the findings of a qualitative study of older women’s engagement in physical activity with a gender lens. Though aware of the importance of physical activity for health, the women were motivated to be active to maintain their indepedence and function, rather than by health concerns, which can be understood as reflecting gendered expressions of resistance to the stigma associated with aging and disability—and their challenges to femininity. Informed by the framework on gender-transformative health promotion, programs could increase older women’s involvement in physical activity by aligning with older women’s priorities—stressing how being flexible, strong, and fit can contribute to women’s ability to live independently and pursue personal priorities—and simultaneously working to fight ageism, sexism, and barriers to participation.

description: Three-dimensional miscible Rayleigh--Taylor (RT) turbulence at small Atwood number and at Prandtl number one is investigated by means of high resolution direct numerical simulations of the Boussinesq equations. RT turbulence is a paradigmatic time-dependent turbulent system in which the integral scale grows in time following the evolution of the mixing region. In order to fully characterize the statistical properties of the flow, both temporal and spatial behavior of relevant statistical indicators have been analyzed. Scaling of both global quantities ({\it e.g.}, Rayleigh, Nusselt and Reynolds numbers) and scale dependent observables built in terms of velocity and temperature fluctuations are considered. We extend the mean-field analysis for velocity and temperature fluctuations to take into account intermittency, both in time and space domains. We show that the resulting scaling exponents are compatible with those of classical Navier--Stokes turbulence advecting a passive scalar at comparable Reynolds number. Our results support the scenario of universality of turbulence with respect to both the injection mechanism and the geometry of the flow.
