Relation between dispersion lines and conductance of telescoped armchair double-wall nanotubes analyzed using perturbation formulas and first-principles calculations

description: The Landauer's formula conductance of the telescoped armchair nanotubes is calculated with the Hamiltonian defined by first-principles calculations (SIESTA code). Herein, partially extracting the inner tube from the outer tube is called 'telescoping'. It shows a rapid oscillation superposed on a slow oscillation as a function of discrete overlap length $(L-1/2)a$ with an integer variable $L$ and the lattice constant $a$. Considering the interlayer Hamiltonian as a perturbation, we obtain the approximate formula of the amplitude of the slow oscillation as $|A|^2/(|A|^2+\varepsilon^2)$ where $A$ is the effective interlayer interaction and $\varepsilon$ is the band split without interlayer interaction. The approximate formula is related to the Thouless number of the dispersion lines.

Characterization of high-affinity nitrate and nitrite transporters in Arabidopsis thaliana
Creators: name: Kotur, Zorica
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Nitrite is a potential nitrogen source in the environment. Algae and fungi posses nitrite-specific transporters, whereas plant counterparts have not been identified. Because nitrate transporters can take up nitrite, I used nitrate uptake-defective Arabidopsis mutants to eliminate the masking effect of nitrate transporters and measured ¹³NO₂- influx to characterize nitrite uptake. The Atnar2.1-2 mutant, lacking a functional high-affinity nitrate transport system, is capable of nitrite influx that is constitutive and thermodynamically active. This provides strong evidence for a nitrite-specific transporter that enables Atnar2.1-2 mutants, which are incapable of sustained growth on low nitrate, to maintain significant growth on low nitrite. To accommodate the variable nitrate concentration in soil solution, plants have high- and low-affinity uptake systems (HATS and LATS, respectively). AtNRT2.1, the major inducible HATS transporter, requires expression of a second polypeptide AtNAR2.1 to be functional. Immunological and transient protoplast expression methods revealed that an intact two-component complex of AtNRT2.1 and AtNAR2.1 is localized in the plasma membrane, has a size of ~150kDa, and half-life of 35h. Based on the absence of monomeric AtNRT2.1 in protein isolates, and lack of the oligomer in mutants of NRT2.1 or NAR2.1, I propose that this complex, rather than monomeric AtNRT2.1, is the form active in inducible HATS nitrate transport. After the large central cytosolic loop from the Aspergillus nidulans iHATS (NRTA) was introduced into AtNRT2.1, instead of its smaller loop, interaction with AtNAR2.1 was abolished. This observation shows that the central loop of AtNRT2.1 is required for interaction with AtNAR2.1. The Arabidopsis NRT2 family has 6 other members in addition to AtNRT2.1. By using heterologous expression in the yeast-two-hybrid system, Xenopus oocytes and leaf protoplasts, I have shown that, with the exception of AtNRT2.7, all NRT2s interact with AtNAR2.1 and are capable of nitrate transport.Plants also have a constitutive high-affinity transport system (cHATS) with proposed role of upregulation of many nitrate-inducible genes, including AtNRT2.1. For the first time in plants, a gene required for cHATS was isolated. Atnrt2.5 mutants exhibit ~60% reduction of the cHATS activity compared to WT plants at low nitrate concentrations, suggesting that AtNRT2.5 encodes the saturable cHATS transporter.
The Twelve-Graviton Next-to-MHV Amplitude from Risager's Construction

description: The MHV or CSW expansion of tree-level Yang-Mills amplitudes provides an elegant and simple way of obtaining analytic formulas for S-matrix elements. Inspired by the BCFW technique, a systematic approach to obtain the MHV expansion was introduced by Risager, using a particular complex deformation. Although it works for Yang-Mills amplitudes, Risager's technique fails to provide an MHV expansion already for Next-to-MHV gravity amplitudes with more than eleven particles, as shown by Bianchi, Elvang and Freedman in 2008. This fact implies that in this sector there is a contribution at infinity starting at n = 12. In this note we determine the explicit analytic form of this residue at infinity for n = 12. Together with the terms of the Risager MHV expansion, the residue at infinity completes the first full CSW-like analytic expression of the twelve-graviton NMHV amplitude. Our technique can also be used to compute the residue at infinity for higher points.

description: This paper studies the components of the moduli space of rank 1, torsion-free sheaves, or compactified Jacobian, of a non-Gorenstein curve. We exhibit a generically reduced component of dimension equal to the arithmetic genus and prove that this is the only non-smoothable component when the curve has a unique singularity that is of finite representation type. Analogous results are proven for the Hilbert scheme of points and the Quot scheme parameterizing quotients of the dualizing sheaf.

description: The lack of appropriate quality indicators for Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) prediction of spray drying of camel milk impeded the simulation of the process. This research is designed to correlate the temperature profile of powder particles with the solubility of camel milk proteins with the ultimate goal of identifying best quality indicators suitable for CFD simulation. Spray drying experiment was conducted by varying drying temperature from 140–200 °C while maintaining the drying air flow rate (7.5 m3/min), emulsion feed rate (0.0003 kg/s) and atomization pressure (0.52 MPa) constant. The moisture content of camel milk powder varied from 7.04% [w/w] at lower temperature (140 °C) to 2.7% [w/w] at higher temperature (200 °C). Yield of powder could be increased with inlet temperature only up to 160 °C. Similarly, moisture removal from camel milk could be increased with temperature only up to 160 °C. From this point onward, powder yield and moisture removal showed inverse relation with temperature. CFD predicted the outlet temperature with 0.43% and 0.73% errors at inlet temperature of 140 °C and 170 °C, respectively and with 8.69% error at 200 °C. The loss of solubility of αS1- and κ-caseins as determined by SDS-PAGE of spray dried camel milk powders correlated well with the CFD predicted temperature profiles of particles. The SEM images of the powders illustrated that more round type particles are produced at higher temperature for both cow and camel milks whereas shriveled type powders at lower temperature only for cow milk.

description: The Fourth Technological Revolution has become a reality and profound changes and restructuring in the markets for 4.0 technologies are taking place with important spatial consequences. The paper demonstrates this statement through an empirical analysis based on an original large-scale patent database covering the creation of all 4.0 technologies across all European NUTS-2 regions in the period 2000–15. Regions exist in Europe characterized by a 4.0 technological leadership achieved in the absence of a strong pre-existing 3.0 technological base. By scaling up the existing technological seeds, these islands of innovation can act as best-practice examples for areas that are still lagging behind from the technological point of view.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Value creation and economic performance from use of marine resources seem to be given increasing weight as an objective for coastal zone planning and management. This paper assesses how and to which degree Norwegian municipalities are concerned with and have considered arguments on value creation in their coastal zone planning. We focus geographically on the coastal zone planning in the north Norwegian municipality Alta, in Finnmark County. We consider the possibilities municipalities have for considering value creation in their coastal zone management, given their room for “manoeuvrability” within national legislation and regulations. The data available for considering value creation from marine activities in a planning context, and how “value creation” actually have been understood and emphasized, is also included. Aquaculture has likely been the major industry for growth of coastal value creation in Norway during the latter 20-30 years. Due to this, we give aquaculture in coastal zone planning special attention. As benefits from the industry in many cases now are going elsewhere than to the municipalities where farms are located, the will to prioritise the industry is falling in some municipalities. The government has decided on some measures to improve this, but these are rather weak. The government’s focus on national value creation does not readily translate into municipal priorities in coastal zone planning.

description: Lubiprostone is an apical type 2 chloride channel activator approved for the treatment of chronic constipation (CC), and nausea is the most common adverse symptom. However, the associated factors with the efficacy and the precise mechanism of nausea remain unclear. The aim of this study is to characterize clinical backgrounds related with the efficacy and the adverse symptoms of lubiprostone. Subjects were patients with CC who were prescribed lubiprostone from April 2017 to October 2019. The efficacy and safety of lubiprostone were retrospectively examined using the electronic medical record. Hundred and fifty-five patients (76 men, and mean age 69) were evaluated. Lubiprostone was effective in 74 patients (47.8%), and the discontinuation due to adverse in 34 patients (21.9%). including nausea, diarrhea and abdominal pain in 16, 12 and 3 patients, respectively. The efficacy was significantly associated with gender, age, body mass index (BMI), diabetes mellitus, hypertension, calcium channel blockers and antipsychotics. In multivariate analysis, the efficacy was significantly associated with men (odds ratio [OR], 3.21; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.42–7.27) and BMI (OR, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.02–1.28). The incidence of nausea was higher in patients under 65 years old, and hypertension was the significant protective factor for nausea. Lubiprostone was effective for men patients with CC, and hypertension seems to be the protective factor for nausea.

description: The cold dark matter (DM) paradigm describes the large-scale structure of the universe remarkably well. However, there exists some tension with the observed abundances and internal density structures of both field dwarf galaxies and galactic satellites. Here, we demonstrate that a simple class of DM models may offer a viable solution to all of these problems simultaneously. Their key phenomenological properties are velocity-dependent self-interactions mediated by a light vector messenger and thermal production with much later kinetic decoupling than in the standard case.

description: To evaluate the association between violence exposure, abuse, and neglect victimization with functional constipation and irritable bowel syndrome in adolescents. Observational cross-sectional case–control study conducted with adolescents from two public schools in the municipality of Osasco, metropolitan region of São Paulo, Brazil. A self-administered questionnaire validated for Brazilian Portuguese Child Abuse Screening Tools – Children’s version (ICAST-C) was used to screen the different types of violence. The definition of functional constipation and irritable bowel syndrome was performed using the Rome IV criteria for adolescents. Parents or legal guardians completed the questionnaire for socioeconomic assessment and signed the informed consent form. 265 students aged 11–17 years, 157 females, were evaluated. Functional constipation and irritable bowel syndrome were found in 74 (27.9%) of the 265 adolescents. Violence exposure was found in 82.6% of the 265 screened adolescents, physical abuse in 91.3%, psychological abuse in 93.2%, sexual abuse in 12.1%, and neglect in 53.6%. The multiple logistic regression analysis showed an association (p Functional constipation and irritable bowel syndrome were associated with violence exposure, physical abuse, psychological abuse, and neglect in adolescent students from public schools.

description: The use of biologic therapy in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is likely to increase with lower costs and more biologics and biosimilars becoming available. Our aim was to estimate the trends in use of first-line biologics during the first year after diagnosis in a Norwegian IBD population from 2010 to 2016. Data were collected from the Norwegian National Patient Registry and Norwegian Prescription Database. Patients defined as incident IBD cases between 2010 and 2016 were included and followed for 12 months. Patients were stratified by year of diagnosis to examine change over time. Chi-square test was used for calculations on proportions. Time from diagnosis to first biologic was calculated by Kaplan-Meier failure estimates. 14,645 patients were included, 5283 (36%) with Crohn’s disease (CD) and 9362 (64%) with ulcerative colitis (UC). In the 2010 and 2016 cohort, the proportion initiating biologics increased from 17% to 33% (p p The proportion of IBD patients initiating biologics within 12 months after diagnosis increased between 2010 and 2016. The use of infliximab as first-line biologic increased after the approval of biosimilar infliximab in 2013.

description: Sarcopenia is associated with postoperative complications in inflammatory bowel disease. It has most commonly been defined using the skeletal muscle index, computed after analysis of cross-sectional muscle area at L3. Psoas muscle thickness normalized to height (PMTH), which is easier to derive, is a potential surrogate of SMI and sarcopenia in patients with cirrhosis and chronic pancreatitis. We investigate whether sarcopenia defined by PMTH has utility in predicting post-operative outcomes in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. We performed a retrospective study of adults undergoing IBD-related surgery from 2009 to 2019 at two hospitals. Sarcopenia was defined by sex-specific PMTH at the umbilicus on cross-sectional imaging using a 50th percentile median cutoff. Predictive models were created using variables (BMI, age, sex, smoking status, albumin, INR, platelets, hemoglobin, hypertension, diabetes, CAD, medications) that may be associated with complications (mortality, reoperation, readmission, transfusions, ICU admission, infection, DVT/PE), and sarcopenia for comparison. 85 patients with IBD were included. Lower albumin level (OR = 0.52, p = 0.039) and biologic use (OR = 5.92, p = 0.006) were associated with postoperative complications. There was no significant difference using PMTH compared to a model incorporating hypoalbuminemia and biologic use in predicting complications. Sarcopenia on univariate analysis was associated with a lower 30 day rate of reoperation (p = 0.04). A low status of PMTH was not associated with increased postoperative complications, however hypoalbuminemia and biologic use were. PMTH as a surrogate for sarcopenia requires further study, ideally with prospective studies comparing PMTH with accepted radiographic surrogates for sarcopenia, to determine its role in clinical decision making.

description: We analyze the current-biased Shapiro experiment in a Josephson junction formed by two one-dimensional nanowires featuring Majorana fermions. Ideally, these junctions are predicted to have an unconventional $4π$-periodic Josephson effect and thus only Shapiro steps at even multiples of the driving frequency. Taking additionally into account overlap between the Majorana fermions, due to the finite length of the wire, renders the Josephson junction conventional for any dc-experiments. We show that probing the current-phase relation in a current biased setup dynamically decouples the Majorana fermions. We find that besides the even integer Shapiro steps there are additional steps at odd and fractional values. However, different from the voltage biased case, the even steps dominate for a wide range of parameters even in the case of multiple modes thus giving a clear experimental signature of the presence of Majorana fermions.

Using trace elements to chemically fingerprint European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia
Creators: name: Neuhauser, Jessica Ann-Etta

description: European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) are an introduced pest that cause significant economic and ecologic damages and losses in areas where they thrive. In the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Canada, a trapping program has been established in an attempt to minimize the damage to agricultural crops caused by the starling. Although over 260 000 have been trapped and euthanized the population remains stable and is thought to be increasing. As the starling is a highly mobile species it is not known where the population originates. In order to determine origin(s) of the 2010 starling population in Kelowna, a portion of the Okanagan Valley, trace element analysis was performed on six different tissue types of starlings (brain, bone, muscle, heart, liver and feathers) to determine which, if any, would be the most appropriate for origin determination. Starlings from the same location were sampled over two time periods to evaluate the degree of temporal separation provided from the various tissues. The most appropriate tissue for origin analysis will have a slow turnover time that would retain the chemical signature of where it was synthesized. As bone turns over very slowly in humans it was hypothesized that it would be the most appropriate for origin determination. Using cluster analysis bone was deemed to be the best temporal separator and the most appropriate tissue to trace origins of starlings. Bone was further examined for its ability to separate populations spatially. Bones from starlings obtained from four regions in British Columbia, and one in the United States, were analysed to create a database of source populations that the fall population of Okanagan birds could be compared to. Using principal component analysis bone proved to separate areas with high spatial resolution. All of the 2010 fall population was from immigrant sources with the majority from unknown locations. Three source populations were identified using principle component analysis by comparing immigrant birds to 95 % confidence intervals calculated around the means of each source population, proving that this technique can be applied to address small-scale movements in mobile organisms. More potential source locations are needed to characterize the Kelowna population. Trace elements proved to provide high spatial resolution, separating populations within several hundred kilometers of each other.

Community Revitalization Levy as a Municipal Financing Mechanism – Analysis of the Rivers District Revitalization in Calgary and the Capital City Downtown Revitalization in Edmonton

description: Municipal governments are able to incentivize private development in particular areas through a number of measures. The research objective of this report is to review the use of Tax Increment Financing (“TIF”) or Community Revitalization Levy (“CRL”) as a source of revenue to support new infrastructure and other development projects, particularly using the case study of the Rivers District Community Revitalization Plan (“Rivers Plan”) in Calgary and the Capital City Downtown Plan (“Capital Plan”) in Edmonton. The paper outlines a framework for the effective use and implementation of a CRL and then describes the current CRL framework and mechanisms in Alberta. It is determined that a CRL should only be used if it can be demonstrated that it is in fact the best available financial tool to incentivize private investment and that it is in the long-term interest of the public. Local governments must be able to provide evidence that the CRL responds to local needs, that private investment would not have occurred in the absence of the CRL (“but-for” test), that the revitalization zone meets the criteria of “blight” (blight test) and that the local economic environment will grow sufficiently over the lifetime of the CRL to cover the costs of borrowing to incentivize that growth. Municipalities should also demonstrate that the objectives of the CRL are in view of long-term community development to ensure the sustainability of the revitalized area. The review of the CRL in each city assesses the effectiveness of the CRL and its framework based on available data. It was found that while there are good starting points to implement CRLs in Alberta, there are also significant gaps that need to be addressed to ensure CRLs are used in the public’s best interest, both in terms of financial soundness of the projects undertaken to revitalize the areas and sustainable community development to generate long-term economic growth. The report concludes with a recommendation on how to improve the CRL framework within each revitalization zone by improving the existing provincial CRL framework, and by conducting robust Net Present Value (“NPV”) assessments to determine the viability of projects.

Double diffusion in Powell Lake : new insights from a unique case study
Creators: name: Scheifele, Benjamin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: High resolution measurements of temperature and electrical conductivity in Powell Lake, British Columbia provide an extensive set of layer and interface observations of a double diffusive staircase found between 325–350 m depth. Powell Lake is an ex-fjord with a quiescent salt layer at thermal steady state in which double diffusion is naturally isolated from turbulent and advective processes. Layers are coherent on the basin scale and their characteristics have a well defined vertical structure. The steady state heat flux is estimated from the large-scale temperature profile and agrees with an earlier estimate of the flux in the sediments. These estimates are compared to a 4/3 flux parameterization which agrees with the steady state flux to within a factor of 2. The discrepancy is explained by testing the scaling underlying the parameterization directly, and it is found that the assumed power law deviates systematically from the observations. Consequently, a different scaling which better describes the observations is presented. The assumption that interfacial fluxes are dominated by molecular diffusion is tested by comparing the interfacial gradient to that expected from the steady state heat flux; at low density ratios, the average interfacial gradient is not sufficiently large to account for transport by molecular diffusion alone, indicating that double diffusive fluxes cannot generally be estimated from bulk interface properties. Salinity interfaces are only marginally (9%) smaller than temperature interfaces, and a simple model to describe the observed difference is presented and shown to be consistent with the observations.

description: We describe inhomogeneities in a ΛCDM universe with a gradient series expansion and show that it describes the gravitational evolution far into the non-linear regime and beyond the capacity of standard perturbation theory at any order. We compare the gradient expansion with exact inhomogeneous ΛLTB solutions (Lemaître-Tolman-Bondi metric with the inclusion of a cosmological constant) describing growing structure in a ΛCDM universe and find that the expansion approximates the exact solution well, following the collapse of an over-density all the way into a singularity.

description: This paper describes the development of a GaAs MMIC chip-set for Ku-band radio-links transmitter. This chip-set includes two circuits, a times-two multiplier 5-7.5GHz to 10-15GHz, and a single side band up-converter. The development and the results of these circuits are analysed. The times-two multiplier is based on a specific balanced configuration leading to a very high level of input frequency suppression at the output (typically 50dBc) on a 2.7mm² chip. The mixer circuit is a broadband build-in single side band mixer of 10mm², with typically 30dBc image suppression.
A new null diagnostic customized for reconstructing the properties of dark energy from BAO data

description: Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) provide an important standard ruler which can be used to probe the recent expansion history of our universe. We show how a simple extension of the Om diagnostic, which we call Om3, can combine standard ruler information from BAO with standard candle information from type Ia supernovae (SNIa) to yield a powerful novel null diagnostic of the cosmological constant hypothesis. A unique feature of Om3 is that it requires minimal cosmological assumptions since its determination does not rely upon prior knowledge of either the current value of the matter density and the Hubble constant, or the distance to the last scattering surface. Observational uncertainties in these quantities therefore do not affect the reconstruction of Om3. We reconstruct Om3 using the Union 2.1 SNIa data set and BAO data from SDSS, WiggleZ and 6dFGS. Our results are consistent with dark energy being the cosmological constant. We show how Om and Om3 can be used to obtain accurate model independent constraints on the properties of dark energy from future data sets such as BigBOSS.
